Incredible photos from the US Army's massive European airborne training operation

An Italian paratrooper prepares for a static line jump in a US Air Force C-130J during exercise Swift Response 16.

Staging aircraft carriers offshore or using drones from far away can be great assets in modern warfare. However, sometimes it's necessary to go back to the basics when responding to a global crisis.

Exercise Swift Response 16, a month-long operation led by US forces, was conducted to keep up with traditional and newer methods of combat. Over 5,000 troops from nations such as France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy took part in this massive airborne exercise to conduct a rapid-response, joint forcible-entry scenario. While working with their European allies, US forces also participated in notable scenarios, such as staging a base within 18 hours of notification.

Here are several pictures of the multinational airborne exercise:

Hillary Clinton.

Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass said Friday that the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union should give Hillary Clinton's US presidential campaign a reason to worry.

Thursday's vote in favor of a British exit from the EU, or Brexit, signals a rise in the populism and nationalism on which US presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have built their campaigns.

BREAKING NEWS: Emotional David Cameron stands down as PM hours after voters trigger political earthquake by backing Brexit and says: 'The will of the British people must be respected'

David Cameron resigned today after his devastating defeat in the EU referendum. The Prime Minister will stay in post into around October before a new Prime Minister is chosen to 'captain the ship' as the UK prepares for Brexit in a new dawn in its politics, he said. Mr Cameron's voice broke as he spoke outside Downing Street this morning with his wife Samantha in tears next to him. The Brexit campaign officially passed the winning post in the EU referendum at around 6am today, triggering a political earthquake and panic in the markets. Nigel Farage earlier declared it to be 'independence day' and a 'victory for real people' as the Leave campaign racked up votes across England and Wales - defying the verdict of London, Scotland and most of the big cities. The Pound - which soared in value earlier after Nigel Farage admitted he thought Brexit had lost - has nose-dived against US dollar to its lowest level for 31 years. And more than £100billion was wiped off the FTSE 100 within minutes as markets opened on Friday as Britain's decision caused turmoil across global exchanges

He told her he may have had a reaction to some cheese she had left in the fridge!

Then he claimed he had some pain in his eyes and his chin was "really sore" too.

Read the report from TMZ below..

Chris Brown has more legal woes ... the guy he hired to rehabilitate his image after theRihanna beating is now suing Chris for allegedly doing the same to him. Mike G claims he was hired in 2012 not only to change Brown's image but to get him out of debt and off drugs. Mike G says he did well by Chris, who had a resurgence in popularity.

Things allegedly turned bad last month, but Mike G claims without provocation, Brown took him in a room, brutally attacked him with repeated punches to the face and neck, which landed him in the ER.
The lawsuit claims Brown, rather than being remorseful, began mocking Mike G on social media and bragging to friends about the beating. Mike G says Brown had the audacity to tell people working on his tour, if they got out of line he'd beat them just like he beat Mike G.

People are so excited about this wallet that it’s become the biggest one in Kickstarter history

TGT's Americana Deluxe wallet is elasticated and conforms to carry as much, or as little, as needed.TGT Tight Wallets

For all their utility, most wallets are still too bulky for guys to comfortably and discreetly carry in their back pocket. 

Enter the most successful wallet project in Kickstarter history and our pick for the best alternative to the traditional bifold: the TGT (pronounced "tight") wallet.

Brooklyn designer Jack Sutter got the idea for the wallet from a friend who was using a rubber band from a broccoli stem to hold his cards and cash. It was perfect, simple, and small in his pocket. Likewise, TGT wallets offer comfort, lightness, and ample pocket space; and they afford guys the ability to leave unnecessary bags at home. They're also handmade in the US by local craftsmen and artisans.
