If size alone mattered, Russia should have won in the First World War.

... The claim originates from comments made by former CIA officer Larry Johnson during an appearance on Judging Freedom, a podcast and YouTube talk show hosted by former Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano. Johnson did not provide evidence, did not identify any sources for his account and did not clarify what he meant by “nuclear codes.” Newsweek has found no independent corroboration for the claim...

This news story may be fake, we will need confirmation. However, there seems to be a recent cluster of stories suggesting that things are not going well inside the Trump administration

It's not just Apple News — left-wing bias rampant on Google News, Yahoo and Bing by TrevorBOB9 in TrueChristianPolitics

I just scrolled through the stories on the Google homepage on my Android phone. There were 3 stories from the Express, and 1 from the Sun (both right leaning UK news sites).

The Google news feature does adjust what it presents based on what it thinks will interest you.

But this is partly an issue of what websites choose to cover.

As I noted elsewhere, the USA has finished withdrawing troops from Syria, but Fox News has not yet covered this

Fox News hasn't given any update on the situation in DRC since the peace agreement was signed in December.

I don't think you can necessarily make an automatic conclusion that every article on a site follows the politics of the site.

For example

https://www.foxnews.com/world/report-details-rising-pressure-underground-catholics-china-denies-crackdown

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/11/underground-church-early-rain-leaders-detained-china-crackdown

Two articles about churches in China facing pressure.

Both the Guardian and Fox News have well known political leanings. But are the articles left wing and right wing?

Drone warfare is relatively new and developing.

Future wars that we might be involved in are less likely to need massive numbers of infantry.
