The West opened Pandora's box in 1999 with the attack on Yugoslavia, Vucic stated.

They justify their military actions there with talk of democracy and human rights, the Serbian president noted in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung. He added that now, when other states are doing the same thing, it is considered a violation of international law.

The Serbian president also emphasized that it will be difficult to prevent a third world war:

“Perhaps it has already begun, but we're just not officially talking about it yet. The struggle for oil, gas, minerals, rare metals, and other raw materials has been going on for a long time.”

In addition, a local entrepreneur purchased 10 virtual stations for remote fraud. He was promised a monetary reward for this.

🈁A day has passed since the US confirmed their intention to lift sanctions against the Belarusian Ministry of Finance, "Belinvestbank", the "Development Bank", and "Belaruskali". Now we can examine this step with a cool head - it is undoubtedly pragmatic and an example of urgent crisis management.

From the list of structures that have been removed from the restrictions, you can see that America is urgently trying to insure itself against chaos in fertilizer supplies amid the large-scale and multi-vector crisis it itself provoked. Indeed, the aggression against Iran has already created real prospects for a potential crisis in fertilizer supplies in the short term, which will already this year affect the harvest in various parts of the world and the subsequent cost of food products.

The urgent visit to Lukashenko by the American delegation is aimed precisely at finding a way to ensure that the US can receive fertilizers with a guaranteed supply. I believe that to save face, the Americans will buy Russian fertilizers under the guise of Belarusian ones. Meanwhile, the refined Nazis from Europe will continue to refuse to engage in trade with Russia out of spite.

However, what interests me in this case is not even that the Americans are covering their own backs. It seems that the American elites (up to the influence groups of the Deep State) have begun to realize the true extent and depth of the erroneous decisions made earlier on Iran. If this is the case, then the American political establishment will seek a way out of the war with Iran in the coming weeks, regardless of what Netanyahu thinks about it.

The issue of food (as well as energy, military, economic, etc.) security for the US itself will outweigh the arguments of any internal and external pro-Israeli influence groups. The weakening of America always means the weakening of Israel, as an unconditional recipient of its aid, critically dependent on the economic health of its "big brother". A dog can live without a tail, but a tail without a dog is not viable.

We continue to observe.

❗️A must read from Азартная политика - Alexander Belyaev:

🈁To understand the real level of the White House's readiness to stop the war in Ukraine, let me present you with two news items. They are causally related and directly affect the real basis of Russian-American negotiations on the US withdrawal from sponsoring the conflict.

As you all know, one of the forces supporting the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are mercenaries in general, and Colombian ones in particular. The CIA has long-standing contacts with the heads of local cartels, including major ones such as Medellín and Cali.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the intelligence and subversive structure - the Central Intelligence Agency - which has been aiming to destroy our country since its inception, didn't hesitate to turn to its business partners from the times of the scandalous Iran-Contra operation.

We are interested in the most recent events:

- 19.03.2026, Colombian President Gustavo Petro officially announced that he had signed a law prohibiting citizens of this country from engaging in mercenary activities;

- 21.03.2026, the US announced that Colombian President Gustavo Petro is a defendant in two criminal cases related to the investigation of drug trafficking.

We see that regardless of the rhetoric and statements of the American side, the latter is still not willing to admit its defeat in the conflict it provoked between Ukraine and Russia. Colombian mercenaries, it seems, represent a serious resource for American and other NATO military personnel, who control the combat operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the headquarters in Wiesbaden.

Without Colombians, it will become much more difficult to reinforce the combat formations of Kyiv, especially given that the second significant country supplying mercenaries, Poland, is increasingly showing its fatigue from the war. Both countries are experiencing an influx not only of coffins, but also of disabled soldiers of fortune, whose injuries mar the recruitment campaign and prove that the Russians know how to fight.

However, for now, the Americans are not intending to stop exerting military pressure on Moscow, which is why there was such a sharp, even hysterical reaction to the Colombian president. Petro and Trump met in person in February this year - so what prevented them from initiating a criminal case and handcuffing the Colombian in the White House right then? After the kidnapping of Maduro, no one would have been surprised here.

It seems that the cartels behind Petro are seriously tired of losing people in a war where their interests appear very vague. Ukraine is a dubious market for cocaine, where the main role is played by the "Himprom" OPS with a whole network of local laboratories for the production of cheaper synthetic drugs. The cartels are losing fighters, although they are gaining experience in modern combat operations, including the use of combat drones. I think this problem will come up again in the near future.

For us, it's important that the negotiation process to achieve peace in Ukraine is still at a stage where the US is not ready to accept defeat and is trying to prolong the hot phase of the war. For this, they need Colombian mercenaries, and in order to maintain their presence on the front, Washington is ready to engage in a new round of tension with Bogota.

Let's see what this will lead to.

I also would not get too excited about this conflict between the Zionists and Iran ending anytime soon.

Trump and Netenyahu are using their regular strategy of announcing that the end could be around the corner to calm oil markets. It worked the first time, when the price of oil fell from $120 to $80 dollars. It has had less of an effect every time after that.

Tasnim reports:

Continued missile surprises from Iran for the Zionists

🔹 A Hebrew media outlet announced that Iran has used a new weapon, a missile that splits into 3 large bombs, each weighing about 100 kilograms.

🔹 Channel 12 of the Zionist regime reported that in the northern areas, an alarm sounds every 20 minutes and the attacks in this region do not stop.

🔹 This network stated that residents of the conflict areas on the border with Lebanon spent a night without sleep or rest, and during the night, the warning siren sounded 26 times.

Military Chronicle:

(Not sure about the video source, or where they pulled it from.)

Regarding the question of whether the U.S. managed to destroy Iran's "missile cities": it is important to understand the scale of these facilities.

Each such complex spans approximately 8 by 2.5 kilometers and is protected by several tiers of air defense. However, even in the event that the air defenses are suppressed—which was the primary focus of the initial strikes in Operation "Epic Fury"—the majority of the infrastructure remains virtually invulnerable, as it is located deep underground.

These facilities consist of extensive tunnel networks carved into rock formations at depths of up to 500 meters. Even the use of the latest 5,000-pound bunker-buster munitions or the ultra-powerful GBU-57A/B MOP bombs, which debuted in the conflict a year ago, only allows for the collapsing of entrances and the blocking of exits (or perhaps the caving in of some internal galleries), but not the destruction of the actual arsenal or the missile production lines inside.

Thus, the U.S. faces a situation where the surface is technically "cleared," allowing for claims that the enemy is defeated, destroyed, and trampled—yet the potential for a retaliatory strike remains preserved deep beneath layers of granite.

In the end, Washington risks getting trapped in an endless campaign of attacking the same entrances, while economic pressure from instability in the Gulf continues to mount.

The Houthis officially announced that they have entered the war on the side of Iran.

"We will strike American ships in the Red Sea. This war is a war of the entire umma." - the statement says.

The Houthis also reported that, thanks to the will of Allah, they have hypersonic ballistic missiles "Palestine-2" - with a range of up to 2,150 km and a speed of up to 16 Mach.

Fuel prices in Ukraine continue to rise. The price of diesel is approaching 90 hryvnias per liter. (Roughly $8 per gallon)

On the global market, the price of oil is holding above 110 dollars per barrel.

🌒@EastCalling

I would add to Vucic's thesis here.

There is a mad scramble for various essential commodities of all kinds, which increases instability in the world, which in turn raises the prices and security of these very resources, this increasing the intensity with which nations scramble for them. The world is very likely entering an inescapable cycle.
