a major threat. some analysts believe going forward, the country will rely more on what's called non strategic nuclear weapons, with shorter ranges, as it did during the 19 seventy's and eighty's crises between russia and the u. s. in the past have been averted through diplomacy. but with relations between the nato alliance and moscow on edge over the war in ukraine, much will be needed if that's to be achieved again. natasha. good name, old 0. the f. b, i has found no classified documents, solved a search for beach house owned by the u. s. president joe biden. such was part of a special council investigation into his handling of classified material bought his personal attorney. so the president gave his full support and cooperation to the investigation. it was how speak a kevin mccarthy has met with president biden for the 1st time since they took that
