Turkey begins a military invasion of Iraq. According to Turkey's Defense Ministry, Ankara has launched a large cross-border military attack against Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) insurgents in northern Iraq. In a video speech on Monday morning, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar announced the operation in a video speech, saying it would include a massive airstrike campaign involving jets, helicopters, and drones, as well as a land incursion by commando troops. Ankara claims it destroyed many PKK bunkers, tunnels, weapons dumps, and military headquarters in northern Iraq's border areas of Metina, Zap, and Avashin-Basyan before moving its ground forces into Irak. The number of troops and military equipment involved in the operation is unknown. "Our business is progressing smoothly and on schedule." "The first phase's goals were met,", Akar said, according to the Associated Press. According to the minister, Turkish forces are solely targeting "terrorists," and are taking great steps to avoid civilian casualties and cultural property damage. "Our fight will go on until the last terrorist is eliminated,", he stated. We are adamant about saving our noble nation from the terror tragedy that has afflicted it for the past 40 years. Since 1984, the PKK, a Kurdish militant political organization and armed guerrilla movement fighting for an autonomous Kurdistan, has been at odds with Ankara in a war that has claimed over 40,000 lives. Turkey has launched a number of military operations against the PKK, which is entrenched in northern Iraq and has used the region to fuel an insurgency in the country's east. The US, UK, and EU have all recognized the PKK as a terrorist organization. In the war against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, the Kurds, on the other hand, were a critical partner of the West and the US. In Syria's Kurdish-controlled parts, Washington has a military presence, while in Iraq's Kurdistan region, there are multiple American military sites and a US consulate in Erbil. Thanks for watching.

Serbia warns of coup Serbia's Interior Minister, Aleksandar Vulin, has warned that pro-western political groups in the nation may reject the election results and attempt to stage a 'Maidan'-style coup. The election will take place on Sunday. Vulin was referring to the violent, Western-backed revolt in Ukraine in 2014 that deposed President Viktor Yanukovich's elected administration. In an interview with Sputnik Radio, Vulin warned earlier this week that immediately after the elections, pro-Western political parties, already financially and politically bolstered, would plan to challenge the election results, culminating in an attempt to overthrow the government. "Western political analysts believe Serbia requires a new Maidan." "Maidan is a site where Ukraine lost its democracy," the minister said, "and where thugs from the Right Sector and other Nazi organizations overturned the democratically elected government, installing and removing whoever they wanted." Vulin claimed that street clashes in Serbia are being planned for the days following the polls, not because of the elections themselves, but because President Aleksandar Vucic has opted to retain Serbia's military neutrality in the midst of the Ukraine crisis. ""Our independence is worth fighting for, and if it will be tested - absolutely, it will be tested." "Yes, they will attempt to construct a new Maidan for us,"", he stated. Throughout the conversation, Vulin echoed President Vucic's claim that Serbia is Europe's last "free nation," as the country has come under increasing pressure from western countries since Russia's military intervention in Ukraine last month. Serbia is the only European country that has remained neutral in the dispute so far, refusing to adopt the EU's sanctions against Russia. Thanks for watching.

Night of hell for the Ukrainian forces: The entire Donbas front is on fire. There is a massacre in Grigorovka; and Peski falls. It was a hellish night yesterday for the Ukrainian forces as the entire Donbas front surrendered to a relentless artillery barrage.

Russian military sources said that Ukraine is using all its available reserves to hold on to Seversk as long as it can. 'As soon as the Ukrainians left Lisichansk, Kyiv threw all its units and formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into Seversk. Seversk is located on a plain, so the city itself is not well adapted for defense. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are using it to maintain the reserves that the command is throwing in the direction of allied strikes. Fierce fighting is taking place in the Grigorovka area. This settlement is located west of Belogorovka. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are fortifying the villages near Seversk because without them, the Kiev formations will have to retreat from Seversk. We continue the battle. ' Bombings in Kharkiv-Dnipropetrovsk. A "hellish night" was today for many regions of Ukraine. Russian troops launched strikes with Iskander missiles at targets in Kharkiv.

'The Internet's fascist side' is hacked: Anonymous attacks Proud Boys and QAnon websites. After hacking the web registration company Epik, a major domain server for far-right groups, the hacktivist collective Anonymous published over 150 gigabytes of sensitive data. Following the January 6 Capitol incident, popular far-right sites like Parler, Gab, and 8chan, as well as far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and QAnon, transferred to Epik after being banned from other platforms for breaking hate speech and propagating disinformation policies. Last week, Anonymous released a torrent file containing what it described as a "decade's worth" of firm data, including passwords, internal emails, home addresses, and phone numbers. "This is, indeed, the Epik moment we've all been waiting for,", the organization stated in a statement released alongside the data leak, which was originally reported by independent journalist Steven Monacelli. According to the statement, "this dataset is all that is required to trace true ownership and control of the fascist side of the Internet. " "It's time to figure out who in your family was behind an Ivermectin horse porn fetish website, a disinformation publishing operation, or yet another Qanon hellhole". According to extremism experts, the leak is acting as a, "Rosetta Stone for the far right,", allowing them to discover new connections between the groups. "It's enormous. It could be the largest domain-style breach I've ever seen, and it's probably the most fascinating to me as an extremism researcher, "According to Megan Squire, a professor at Elon University who researches right-wing extremism, ", It's an embarrassment of riches," she says emphatically. Epik made global headlines earlier this month when he expressed support for Texas Right to Life, an anti-abortion organization whose website was taken down by GoDaddy because it sought information on women who sought abortions in contravention of Texas' new near-total prohibition. Epik, on the other hand, eventually discontinued dealing with the site because it breached their privacy policies. Epik has been a haven for far-right platforms that have been kicked off big web servers like Amazon Web Services, while it has moved to cut relations with neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer and 8chan in recent years. Rita Katz, executive director of SITE Intelligence Group, which investigates online extremism, told the Post, "The company played such a huge role in keeping far-right terrorist cesspools alive". "Without Epik, many extremist networks — from QAnon and white nationalists to accelerationist neo-Nazis — would have had significantly less air to do harm, whether it was leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots or disseminating misinformation and conspiracy theo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaQhTElJWCs
