From Football to Politics: Former Manchester City Star Kavelashvili Elected President of Georgia

Mikhail Kavelashvili, a former Manchester City footballer, has been elected as the new president of Georgia, with over 200 MPs backing his candidacy.

This marks a significant shift as Georgia's presidential elections have traditionally been held by popular vote.

However, Kavelashvili’s appointment has sparked protests from the opposition, accusing the ruling party of undermining democracy.

As Kavelashvili steps into office, the country faces growing tension between pro-EU opposition and the ruling Georgian Dream party, further fueling political unrest.

Will Kavelashvili’s presidency bring stability or deepen the divide in Georgia?

EX Russian President Medvedev Claims Western Europe Is Waging ‘Quiet War’ Against Trump

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia. #DmitryMedvedev #TrumpVsEurope #QuietWar #USEuropeanTensions #NATODisagreements #USRussiaRelations #EconomicStrength #MilitaryEdge #GlobalPowerShift #TrumpConservatism #USPolitics #NeoGlobalism #EuropeanUnion #WesternEurope #Geopolitics #MedvedevSpeaks #PoliticalConflict #TrumpSupporters #USForeignPolicy #USMilitaryStrength #TrumpAndRussia #EuropeanTensions #PoliticalShift #USVictory #USPrevails #GlobalInfluence #TariffWars #EUUSRelations #MoscowEvent #KnowledegeFirst #RussiaPolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

BIG War In South China Sea: China Dares To Track Stealth U.S submarines | New Quantum Drone In Sea [Video]

BIG War In South China Sea: China Dares To Track Stealth U.S submarines | New Quantum Drone In Sea

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters. #China #QuantumSensor #UnderseaWarfare #SubmarineDetection #SouthChinaSea #DefenseTechnology #QuantumBreakthrough #MilitaryInnovation #ChineseMilitary #PLA #MaritimeSecurity #NavalWarfare #DroneTechnology #MADXR #AntiSubmarineWarfare #QuantumScience #RubidiumAtoms #CPTMagnetometer #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #SubmarineWarfare #SensorTechnology #UnderwaterSurveillance #DefenseNews #TechInnovation #ChineseNavy #Shandong #QuantumTech #SubmarineTracking #MilitaryBreakthrough

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022.
