Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:46 GMT

What leaked documents show about US-Russia fight for Middle East

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:46 GMT

Egypt considered sending tens of thousands of rockets to Russia. Kremlin spies claim the Emiratis are their new best friends. And Israel simply isn’t willing to give serious help to Ukraine as it battles a Russian invasion.Such assertions, contained in a series of leaked U.S. documents that have rattled Washington, underscore the challenge the United States faces in convincing Middle Eastern countries to fully back Ukraine against Russia. That’s especially true as the region’s leaders express increasing concern that the U.S. isn’t committed to them.U.S. officials deny that they are abandoning the Middle East, pointing to America’s large military presence and strong security ties there. But the documents suggest multiple countries in the region are embracing Russia amid worries of an emerging, U.S.-shaped vacuum.“All the countries in the Middle East now are wondering what it means to be aligned with the United States, what it costs to be aligned with the United States, and wheth...

Bill Madden: Making sense of the Tampa Bay Rays hot start to the ‘23 season

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:46 GMT

“You’re never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you’re never as bad as they say when you lose”The famous quote by college football Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz — especially the first part of it — was being thrown around a lot this past week in the wake of the Tampa Bay Rays’ record-tying 13-0 start to the 2023 baseball season. A start like this from a team with the 28th lowest payroll in baseball — in which they out-scored the opposition 101-30, more than the total runs of 27 other teams, while winning 11 of those games by four or more runs — would ordinarily seem quite phenomenal. Going into the weekend, the Rays led the majors in runs, batting, homers, OPS, total bases and ERA — and according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Rays’ plus-71 run differential in those first 13 games was the best in the modern era (post-1900).But it does pale somewhat when you consider the quality of the opposition.
