Once one of the biggest draws in Hollywood action cinema, Steven Seagal's transformation into vehement Putin-ally took an unexpected turn when he was filmed at a bombed-out Donetsk prison, peddling Russian conspiracy theories about Ukrainian "Nazis," as conflict between the two nations continues. At this stage, it's unclear what Seagal's motivation is. For more than a decade his support of Putin's government has been steadfast, having been made a Russian citizen and Serbian citizen in 2016, and going on to call the Russian president "one of the greatest living world leaders." His activities in the region, personal and professional, have fueled speculation and wild theories about alleged connections to various state and military officials , authoritarian leaders and other controversial figures . Some even claimed the star went "full method" at the start of this year and joined the Russian invasion in Ukraine—in what turned out to be a fake news story that Newsweek … [Read more...] about Steven Seagal’s Russia connections: what we do know, what we don’t

UK May End Traditional Ship Navigation Despite Russian GPS Jamming
Even as the British government considers alternatives to the fragile GPS systems that power everything from smartphones to warships, the British authority which is responsible for mapping the oceans is set to dispense with traditional paper charts, pushing ship’s navigators worldwide to digital instead – a move a leading naval expert has called shortsighted. Navigational charts, the extremely accurate plotting of the sea floor and above-surface navigational hazards and landmarks with which mariners have kept their ships safe and on course for generations, are to be phased out within years, the British government office responsible for producing them has announced. Yet the push for digital, which the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) announcement on the matter makes clear is a cost-cutting exercise, comes as the satellite-based replacements for traditional navigation are dramatically revealed as deeply fragile by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

MSNBC Panel Melts Down Over Hungarian PM Speaking To Conservatives
UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect a statement from Republican National Committee (RNC) spokesperson Nicole Morales.
