NATO welcoming Finland, Sweden would be a big deal. Here’s why

NATO enlargement ever and one that would redraw Europe’s security map.Finnish leaders announced Thursday their belief that Finland should join the world’s biggest military organization because of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Sweden could soon follow suit.Should they apply for membership, the move would have far-reaching ramifications for Northern Europe and trans-Atlantic security.No doubt, it will also anger their large neighbor Russia, which blames, at least in part, its war in Ukraine on NATO’s continued expansion closer to its borders.

White House directs FDA to import more baby formula amid nationwide shortage

infant formula shortage continues, President Joe Biden announced steps Thursday that the federal government will take to try and ease the shortfall.According to the White House, the government will make it easier for companies to import formula from overseas, push states to crack down on price gouging, and temporarily relax some of the product requirements for WIC users.The shortage is the result of a variety of factors, including pandemic-related manufacturing and supply chain issues. But it has been exacerbated by a safety recall that followed the deaths of two infants.Back in February, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers to avoid some powdered baby formula products from a Sturgis, Michigan, facility run by Abbott Nutrition, which then initiated a voluntary recall.

In the televised meeting on Thursday (April 21) a "bloated" Putin is sitting at a desk and discussing the ongoing invasion of Ukraine with his defence minister Sergei Shoigu.The pair are discussing the "liberation" of the heavily-bombed Ukrainian city of Mariupol and Putin looks very unwell.He grips the corner of the desk throughout the entire meeting and appears to be slightly slumped in his chair.Putin also seems to unintentionally grimace in between sentences as if he might be in physical discomfort or even pain.There have been longstanding theories about Putin's health woes, including one that he is suffering from thyroid cancer and has all the symptoms.

Putin tries to claim Mariupol victory but won't storm Ukraine holdout

KYIV, Ukraine - Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to claim victory in the strategic port of Mariupol on Thursday, even as he ordered his troops not to storm the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the war’s iconic battleground.Russian troops have besieged the southeastern city since the early days of the conflict and largely pulverized it — and top officials have repeatedly indicated it was about to fall, but Ukrainian forces stubbornly held on. In recent weeks, they holed up in a sprawling steel plant, and Russian forces pounded the industrial site and repeatedly issued ultimatums ordering the defenders to surrender.Putin said that, for now, he would not risk sending troops into the warren of tunnels under the giant Azovstal plant, instead preferring to isolate the holdouts who have captivated the world’s attention "so that not even a fly comes through." His defense minster said the plant was blocked off, while giving yet another prediction that the site could be taken in days.Putin's order may mean that Russian officials are hoping they can wait for the defenders to surrender after running out of food or ammunition.
