United States lawmaker and Republican Congresswoman from the state of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, told a British journalist to “f*** off” when asked to talk about “Jewish space lasers,” an antisemitic conspiracy theory that the former US president Donald Trump’s possible pick for vice-president once promoted on social media.&nbsp;

<h2>What happened?</h2>

The heated exchange took place on Super Tuesday (Mar 5) when Emily Maitlis, a British journalist for the News Agents podcast spoke to the Republican Congresswoman during Trump’s victory celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.&nbsp;

“Could you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself?” the British journalist asked.

Prior to the exchange, the Maitlis also asked Greene if she was on Trump’s list of potential vice-presidential picks and if Nikki Haley should be on it.

US President Joe Biden is expected to pledge to make abortion rights the law of the land and slam rival Donald Trump's vision for America on Thursday, during his last State of the Union address before the US election.

<h2>Contrasting personalities</h2>

As per excerpts released by the White House&nbsp;ahead of the November elections, Biden will seek to draw a contrast with his Republican challenger Trump.

During the speech, he will highlight his commitment to abortion rights in the wake of the overturning of Roe vs Wade in 2022. &nbsp;

Trump appointed three of the six conservative judges on the nine-member court and has been known to claim credit for the striking down of Roe V. Wade.

Addressing that, Biden will say, "Clearly those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women in America."

"But they found out when reproductive freedom was on the ballot and won in 2022, 2023, and they will find out again in 2024. If Americans send me a Congress that supports the right to choose I promise you: I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again."

<h2>Freedom and Democracy</h2>

The incumbent president will also focus on the threats to democracy, he and his campaign argue Trump poses. This will include the Republican's&nbsp;repeated false claims about a rigged 2020 election and the subsequent US Capitol riots.

"My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy. A future based on the core values that have defined America: honesty, decency, dignity, equality. To respect everyone. To give everyone a fair shot. To give hate no safe harbour," Biden will say.&nbsp;

"Now some other people my age see a different story: an American story of resentment, revenge, and retribution. That's not me."

Here, as per Reuters, his reference to "other people my age" is an attempt to underscore that he and Trump are not that far apart in age, and are in fact both elderly. Biden has for a long time faced mockery and criticism over his advanced age.

Sweden officially joins NATO military alliance, becomes 32nd member

Sweden joins NATO military alliance, abandons its non-alignment policy

Sweden officially joined NATO in Washington on Thursday (March 7), prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine two years ago. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson submitted the necessary paperwork, completing the process of gaining alliance support.

"Good things come to those who wait," US&nbsp;Secretary of State Antony Blinken said as he received Sweden's accession documents from Kristersson.

"This is a historic moment for Sweden, for our alliance and for the transatlantic relationship," Blinken said.

<h2>Why is this inclusion historic?</h2>

The inclusion of Sweden and Finland into NATO,&nbsp;particularly noteworthy given Finland's 1,340 km border with Russia, marks the alliance's most substantial expansion in decades. Additionally, it represents a setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to impede further reinforcement of the alliance.

"Today is a truly historic day. Sweden is now a member of NATO," Kristersson said.

"The reason this is such a strong, powerful fit, is because Sweden embodies and promotes the core values that are at the core of NATO - democracy, liberty, the rule of law," Blinken said.

Sweden stands to gain from the alliance's shared defence guarantee, wherein an assault on any member is interpreted as an assault on all.

Sweden's inclusion in NATO would bolster the alliance's capabilities with state-of-the-art submarines and a significant fleet of domestically manufactured Gripen fighter jets, serving as a crucial link between the Atlantic and Baltic regions. In response to Sweden's decision, Russia has threatened unspecified "political and military-technical counter-measures".

Despite drawing closer to NATO over the past two decades, Sweden's membership signifies a departure from its historical stance of neutrality and military non-alignment, maintained for over two centuries. Following World War II, Sweden gained international recognition as a champion of human rights and gradually reduced military spending after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Although Sweden's defence minister rejected NATO membership as recently as 2021, the subsequent government, led by the Social Democrats, applied for membership alongside Finland. While Finland joined the alliance the previous year, Sweden faced delays as Turkey and Hungary, with amicable ties to Russia, postponed ratifying its accession. Turkey eventually approved Sweden's application in January, while Hungary awaited Prime Minister Kristersson's visit to Budapest on February 23, resulting in an agreement on a fighter jet deal between the two nations.

US President Joe Biden kicked off his speech by calling for Congress to support Ukraine. Anyone who thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin will stop with the war in Ukraine is wrong, he said.

Biden, who has been pushing Congress to provide additional funding to Ukraine for its war with Russia, also had a message for Putin: "We will not walk away," he said.
