Also soccer lore, Turkey, miracle in Istanbul....Turkey placed 3rd in 2002, beating South Korea, with a goal that i think still stands as fastest in world cup history, men's, winter sports, faster than summer, often overlooked, but those snow boarders get up high, u can fly on ice skates, if u know how to do it, faster than someone can run..
The connection between Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi Royal Family, and the White House centers on President Donald Trump's defense of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) after the 2018 murder, despite US intelligence linking MBS to ordering the hit, with Trump downplaying the intelligence and the Crown Prince calling it a "huge mistake" during a White House visit, while MBS's family business dealings in the US were also questioned. Trump hosted MBS for a lavish visit, dismissing reports that MBS approved the operation to kill Khashoggi, who was dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, asserting MBS "knew nothing about it" and calling Khashoggi controversial.
Key Points of the Controversy:
Khashoggi's Murder: Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident and Washington Post columnist, was assassinated by Saudi agents in 2018.
US Intelligence Findings: The US intelligence community concluded that MBS approved the operation to capture or kill Khashoggi.
Trump's Stance: President Trump downplayed these findings, stating MBS "knew nothing about it" and that Khashoggi was "extremely controversial," emphasizing strong US-Saudi ties and investments.
MBS's Response: The Crown Prince called the act a "huge mistake" and a "painful" event for Saudi Arabia, stating they took steps to prevent recurrence, but maintained his lack of knowledge.
White House Visit: MBS visited the White House under Trump, despite the scandal, leading to criticism over the optics and potential conflicts of interest due to Trump family business ties in Saudi Arabia.
Congressional Criticism: Some lawmakers, like Senator Marco Rubio, criticized the White House's handling of the situation, citing intelligence linking MBS to the murder.

From wiki..........about a Tom Clancy novel................. Simultaneously, the Soviets seize Iceland in a covert surprise attack with the Soviet merchant ship Julius Fucik disguised as a Lykes Lines American LASH ship , capturing the NATO air station at Keflavík and eliminating the GIUK - SOSUS line to allow the Soviet Navy to surge its submarines into the Atlantic Ocean without being detected. In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its ballistic missile submarine fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against resupply convoys coming from North America with both aircraft and submarines.
