August 08, 2025

President Donald Trump brokered a historic peace agreement Friday, between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ending decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The deal, signed at the White House, commits both nations to lasting peace, the reopening of borders, and the development of a new transit corridor through Armenia, named the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), which will link Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave.

Trump described the moment as ending "35 years of death and hatred" and starting an era of "love and respect." Both Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev praised the agreement and expressed their intention to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

At the signing ceremony, Trump declared the end of a 35-year conflict, stating, "It’s a long time — 35 years they fought, and now they’re friends. And they’re going to be friends for a long time." He emphasized the deal's significance, calling it a "landmark achievement for international diplomacy" and a "historic peace summit." He highlighted the US's exclusive development rights to the TRIPP corridor and the lifting of restrictions on military cooperation with Azerbaijan. Trump also noted the agreement's potential to reshape regional politics and boost prosperity 

President Aliyev said the agreement would allow the nations to "turn the page of standoff, confrontation, and bloodshed and provide a bright and safe future for our children," and praised Trump for achieving a "miracle" in six months. Prime Minister Pashinyan called the event a "significant milestone" and affirmed that the peace process was only possible due to Trump's "personal engagement and his resolute commitment to peace."  Both leaders expressed their support for nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has roots in the late 1980s over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, leading to two major wars after the collapse of the Soviet Union. A 2020 ceasefire brokered by Russia introduced peacekeepers but failed to resolve the core dispute. In 2023, Azerbaijan intensified control, leading to the surrender of Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh and the exodus of nearly all ethnic Armenians to Armenia.

This event heightened calls for a formal peace treaty. The new agreement includes a commitment to stop fighting, resume full diplomatic relations, and respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity. A key component is the disbanding of the OSCE Minsk Group, which had been tasked with mediating the conflict.

The TRIPP corridor, which will operate under Armenian legal jurisdiction, is expected to include rail, oil and gas lines, and fiber optics, facilitating trade and energy exports. While the agreement is seen as a major diplomatic breakthrough, experts note significant questions remain about the corridor's implementation, border demarcation, and potential constitutional changes in Armenia, which could pose future obstacles.

 

 
Trump To Meet With Putin In Alaska For Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

Meanwhile Trump has announced a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15, in Alaska to discuss peace efforts for the war in Ukraine. This summit, the first between the two leaders since 2019 and the first U.S.-Russia presidential meeting since the start of the war in 2022, comes on the day of Trump's deadline for Russia to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire.

Trump said he is optimistic about reaching a peace deal and hinted at a potential "swapping" of territories as part of a resolution.

Putin presented a proposal to U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff during a meeting in Moscow on Wednesday, offering a full ceasefire in exchange for Ukraine ceding control of its eastern regions.

Under the proposal, Ukraine would withdraw its forces from Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, granting Russia full control of these territories, along with Crimea.

This comes amid a broader diplomatic effort where the U.S. is reportedly considering a proposal that would involve a ceasefire, with de facto recognition of Russian-occupied territories postponed for 49 or 99 years.

The U.S. proposal would involve the lifting of most sanctions on Russia, with long-term energy cooperation. This U.S. proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion, a key Russian demand.

The proposal would require Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to order a withdrawal of troops from parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions still held by Kyiv, handing Russia a victory that its army couldn’t achieve militarily since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Under the terms of the deal, Russia would halt its offensive in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine along the current battlelines.

Putin on Friday held phone calls with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as with the leaders of South Africa, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Belarus to share details of his Aug. 6 meeting with Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow, according to the Kremlin.

The U.S. is working to get buy-in from Ukraine and its European allies on the deal.

"The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow," Trump wrote on Truth Social late Friday.

The announcement followed Trump's earlier statement that he would meet "very shortly" with Putin to discuss ending the war. Trump indicated he is willing to meet with Putin without Zelensky being present.

Trump has expressed increasing frustration with Putin’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire. The two leaders held six phone calls since February and Witkoff met with Putin five times in Russia to try to broker an agreement.

Ukraine is seeking security guarantees to ensure any truce holds and is urging allies to keep Russia’s economy under pressure through sanctions.

The Alaska meeting will mark the first visit to Alaska by a Russian head of state since Alaska was sold by the Russians to America for $7.2 million in 1867.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey Indicted By Grand Jury For Obstruction Of Justice Lying To Congress

A federal grand jury on Thursday,  in Northern Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts: one for making false statements to Congress and one for obstruction of justice. Each charge carries a potential penalty of up to 5–10 years in prison.

These charges arise from Comey's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, during which prosecutors allege he provided misleading information about his handling of the FBI's investigation into contacts between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The indictment was unsealed late Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the long-simmering feud between Comey and President Trump, who was re-elected in 2024. The trial date has not been set, but it could extend into 2026.

Comey served as FBI Director from 2013 until his abrupt firing by Trump in May 2017, amid the early stages of the Russia investigation. Trump has long accused Comey of orchestrating a "witch hunt" against him, blaming the former director for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose probe dominated much of Trump's first term.

The charges stem from Comey's 2020 congressional testimony, where he reportedly downplayed the extent of his communications with Trump regarding the Russia probe and his role in leaking memos about those interactions.

The case gained momentum earlier this year when the Secret Service interrogated Comey over a social media post showing seashells arranged as "86 47"—a reference interpreted by Trump allies as a coded assassination threat against the president (the 47th). Comey deleted the post, calling it a "restaurant-themed joke" about removing Trump from office.

Responding in a video message, Comey declared: "I'm not afraid.. I'm innocent. Let's have a trial."

President Trump celebrated the indictment on social media, posting: "Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so many years... One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to." Supporters echoed this sentiment, with conservative commentator Jesse Kelly warning that the trial's location—potentially in Washington, D.C.—could lead to an acquittal due to liberal bias of the jury pool.

'I Control Donald Trump:' Netanyahu Brags To World Leaders -Tucker Carlson

Popular American commentator, journalist and conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson has publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of boasting to foreign leaders that he controls both President Donald Trump and U.S. foreign policy, calling the situation "humiliating" for America.

The Tucker Carlson Show host made these remarks during a recent appearance on the System Update podcast hosted by Glenn Greenwald, where he also criticized U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and argued that American leaders are being forced into actions detrimental to the nation's interests.

Carlson stated he has direct knowledge of Netanyahu's claims based on conversations with people who heard him say it, asserting that the Israeli leader is "running around" the Middle East and telling people point blank, "I control the United States. I control Donald Trump."

The conservative firebrand emphasized that his criticism is directed at U.S. leaders who, in his view, are allowing the country to be subjected to a "humiliation ritual" due to foreign influence, arguing that this undermines the fundamental relationship between citizens and their government.

Carlson described Israel's military actions in Gaza as an "expansion" and dismissed accusations of bigotry against him, stating he is not hurt by such labels because he knows he is not a bigot.

The conservative commentator has faced backlash from Jewish Zionists, for his remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, where he recounted a story likening Kirk’s murder to the crucifixion of Jesus, including a scene of men in a lamplit room eating hummus plotting to kill Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthews 26: 1-5).

Critics, including Jewish groups and Israeli officials, have condemned the speech as an antisemitic dogwhistle, arguing that the reference to hummus—a modern Middle Eastern food—was a deliberate and offensive trope implying Jewish involvement in Kirk’s assassination.

Carlson defended his remarks in the System Update podcast interview., pointing out that he categorically and publicly makes his views about Israel and Netanyahu known, and doesn't need to imply it in a speech about Kirk.

While prominent Zionist and Jewish neoconservative voices criticized the speech, many MAGA-aligned conservative movement’s figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Congressman and OANN host Matt Gaetz praised Carlson's speech.

The controversy underscores the growing concern on the American right over Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy especially in the Middle East. Growing number of conservatives -- traditionally allied with the Israeli right -- have started in recent years, started questioning the policies of Netanyahu's government in the region since the break out of the ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. "It is America First, not Israel First," is a common meme on social media among right-leaning critics of Trump's bizarrely submissive pro-Israel policies.

KA-03: ULA Atlas V Launches 27 Amazon Project Kuiper Internet Satellites

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket successfully launched 27 Project Kuiper broadband satellites into low Earth orbit on Thursday, Sept, 25, at 1209 UTC from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Atlas V 551 rocket, featuring five GEM 63 solid rocket boosters and a single RL10C-1-1 engine on its Centaur upper stage, lifted off on schedule. The launch window was 29 minutes long, and favorable weather conditions, with a 95% chance of acceptable conditions, were confirmed by the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron.

The payload fairing, a 23-meter composite shroud, was jettisoned after ascent through the atmosphere. The Centaur upper stage's main engine cutoff (MECO) was confirmed, and the 27 satellites were successfully deployed at an initial altitude of 450 kilometers(km).

The satellites will now be gradually raised to their operational orbit of 630 km by Amazon's mission operations center in Redmond, Washington.

The Kuiper 3 (or KA-03) mission marks the fifth launch for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation and the third batch of satellites delivered by ULA on the Atlas V rocket. The launch was part of a morning doubleheader, following a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch carrying 28 Starlink satellites just hours earlier.

This launch is the third of nine planned Atlas V missions for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation, with the remaining five scheduled before transitioning to the next-generation Vulcan rocket.

ULA is delivering more than half of the constellation's 3,200 satellites under the world's largest commercial launch agreement. These spacecraft will be lofted on more than 80 launches performed by a variety of rockets — SpaceX's Falcon 9, Arianespace's Ariane 6, Blue Origin's New Glenn and ULA's Atlas V and Vulcan Centaur.

Thursday's successful launch brings Amazon's total number of in-orbit Project Kuiper satellites to 129. Project Kuiper faces competition from SpaceX's Starlink, which operates the world's largest satellite constellation with over 8,000 satellites as of September 2025.
