If Paris doesn't intervene, the uprising in Niger could lead to a complete collapse of the neocolonial system it left in place in the 1960s. The dilemma inevitably results in a geopolitical catch-22, as leaving things as they are could also encourage others to revolt against Western neocolonialism elsewhere in Africa and possibly beyond.

As Politico insists that Sweden and Finland joining NATO also means that the belligerent alliance will increase presence in the Arctic, "a region increasingly strategic to both Russia and China", as it stated, it's quite indicative that NATO expansion in this area has nothing to do with the security of either Stockholm or Helsinki, but with the strategy of so-called "containment of Russia and China".

It now seems Zelensky will have to learn how to share the "aid" for "freedom and democracy". On the other hand, this spells doom for the unfortunate people of China's breakaway island province, as America's increased interest in "freedom for Taiwan" certainly doesn't bode well for its fate. This effectively means that the TTLU could soon become TTLT (to the last Taiwanese) or perhaps more honestly – TTLS (to the last semiconductor).

Drone attacks on civilian infrastructure are absolutely irrelevant to Russian military operations in Ukraine, meaning they are either an act of desperation or the United States is simply trying to launch a total war against Russia, as its economy has proved to be virtually impervious to political West's unrelenting sanctions warfare.

The newly released information revealed that Russia is now the largest economy in Europe and also the world's fifth for the very first time since Soviet times. In doing so, it overtook Germany, and is now behind China, the US, India and Japan, standing at a staggering $5.51 trillion.

On one hand, the "woke" obsession is certainly dangerous when people with obvious mental illnesses are placed in high-ranking positions (particularly those involving nuclear tech). On the other hand, disincentivizing participation in US aggression against the world is actually a net positive for everyone, including Americans themselves.

As if the Kiev regime's involvement wasn't bad enough, the US Department of Justice (although its relation to actual justice is purely lexical) recently removed child sex trafficking information from its website. According to the Epoch Times, the updated version of the webpage completely erased all three sections that previously showed the data which was added during Donald Trump's presidency.

In recent years, the warhawks have become so overconfident that they don't even consider the possibility of engaging in actual diplomacy with countries that have the means of bringing all the "freedom and democracy" the US "exports" back to it. This includes not only "pocket superpowers" such as North Korea, but also geopolitical giants such as Russia and China, the two only near-peer adversaries to the United States.

🧿 Drago Bosnic is back to cover some of the news of the recent week or so and Talk about some of the articles he has authored, in addition to the usual bad jokes and Russian propaganda, my voice is also gone.

This time we discuss: 'UK's cultural enrichment', Defensive tactics vs Offensive strategies, North Korea, NATO Lake myths, UK Intel and those pesky "Russian shrubs" tripping up the 'counteroffensive'. Likewise, the tough question is asked : Is the US military going 'woke' a good thing for world peace?

Today's Talk touches upon another sensitive topic (namely child trafficking in 404 and the US's involvement - full article by Drago) as well as the situation in Niger, the running joke of "Russian Sanctions" and the usual "is it WW3 yet?".

Cracked Voice, Technical Difficulties, Bad humor, and some MEMEs as well as political cartoons

In yet another futile attempt of belittling Moscow's power, the United Kingdom keeps claiming that trees, shrubs, grass and other greenery are effectively "helping" the Russian military by "slowing down" the Neo-Nazi junta forces.

Since banning poppy cultivation in April 2022, the Taliban brought down poppy cultivation to less than 1,000 hectares in Helmand, prompting farmers to start planting actually useful crops, like wheat, slowly eliminating the famine created by Western sanctions. The Taliban also banned ephedra cultivation, leading to a mass shutdown of the previously extensive network of ephedrine labs across the country, effectively dismantling the methamphetamine industry.

"The numbers of war dead are a secret in Ukraine, but it is possible to get an impression of the scale by visiting the rapidly expanding military cemeteries that feature in every town and city," the Economist reports.

Beijing is particularly important for Belarus, as it's Minsk's main trading partner, with Chinese goods, services and technologies being of crucial importance to allow it to weather the storm of a combined Western sanctions warfare and subversion attempts.

After the SMO started, NATO believed that it could defeat the Eurasian giant and even force it to give up Crimea. After it became obvious that would never happen, the alliance simply decided to take as much as it can with as little effort as possible.

It's clear that the consequences of Germany's rapid deindustrialization are showing earlier than anyone in its leadership could've ever imagined. As Berlin's economic unraveling accelerates, it's now faced with a much more powerful Russia, whose economy has eclipsed Germany's for the first time in over three decades, becoming the largest one in Europe.

At the moment, it's estimated that up to 15,000 soldiers, several hundred tanks, artillery and missile systems, and several thousand combat vehicles are deployed in areas close to the Belarussian border. This also includes the redeployment of military aircraft and airborne troops, both of which are considered offensive assets.

The US was able to manipulate millions of Ukrainians into hating their own kin, both within Ukraine itself, as well as those in Russia, creating the pool of manpower necessary to fight Moscow. However, this pool is draining fast and there's no one to replace it.

It should be noted that it's more acceptable to sign meaningless declarations that are absolutely inconsequential for Russia than impose sanctions, an unprecedented move that could end up being a political suicide for the current government.

"Russia today is stronger than it has been in 30 or 40 years. You have a Russian military establishment that is now more potent and more capable than the Russian military was in the mid-1980s," McGregor said, later adding: "You can't defeat what the Russians have built. They were the first back in the 1970s to understand the criticality of linking intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance [ISR] in space, as well as on land and at sea with strike weapons."

🧿 Drago Bosnic is back to Talk about the last weeks news highlights and discuss the accompanying memes.

Now that my throat is a bit better we finally managed to cover the renewed Fukushima disaster, those evil Russian aligned shrubs and Prigozhin's death.

This episode we learn about the US lack of military goals in 404, NATO and the 'Suwałki Gap', as well as what the Taliban has done for Afghanistan.

Meme overload, bad jokes and 'NATO peace hopes'

Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier, one of the most prominent European directors, "dared" to publicly state that "Russian lives matter also!" in an Instagram post. However, he didn't stop there. To add "insult to injury", he also criticized the Danish government for the delivery of US-made F-16 fighter jets to the Kiev regime forces. Von Trier is now accused of "hatred".
