I like how everything he posts is a cry for help or to be seen as not the loser he actually is.

In the USA, special prosecutor Robert Mueller, who investigated Trump's connection with Russia but failed to prove it, has died.

Trump himself has already stated that he is pleased with Mueller's death.

Finally, Donald gets some good news.

Mueller was definitely a tool, though.

I don't know, if I were President, I probably wouldn't celebrate the guy's death publicly. Just sayin.

Elon Musk offered to personally pay the salaries of US Transportation Security Administration employees working in American airports, who have not been receiving their salaries for several weeks due to the US government shutdown.

Airport security staff are massively skipping work due to budget problems, and there are huge queues for security checks (as seen in the video from Houston).

The US continues to encourage Russia's marginalization in European energy markets, Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the OTR TV channel:

"Joe Biden started it, and Donald Trump is finishing it. This is an open claim to energy dominance worldwide, in all regions."

Military Chronicle:

A photograph taken by Israeli photographer Yonatan Sindel on March 20, 2026, presumably captured the warhead of an Iranian missile moments before it fell in the Old City of Jerusalem. Footage of this quality is very rare in modern military chronicles: the image clearly shows the cone of the warhead, which is believed to have remained intact after the carrier missile was intercepted. A fragment of the missile fell in the Jewish Quarter area, about 400 meters from the Western Wall and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. According to an official statement from the Israeli police, the fallen object contained tens of kilograms of explosives, confirming suspicions that it was indeed the warhead that fell, not just a simple piece of the missile body.

Sindel's photograph confirms a dangerous trend in the current conflict: Israeli missile defense systems (Arrow-3 and David’s Sling) successfully destroy carrier missiles, but the massive warheads of ballistic missiles often remain structurally intact and continue to complete their flight mission.

🙏🏻🥀Two years after the terrorist attack at "Crocus"

On March 22, 2024, at the behest of Ukraine, a group of armed militants stormed the building of the "Crocus City Hall" concert hall and staged a real massacre. The terrorist attack claimed the lives of 149 people, and 609 citizens were injured and traumatized.

Four more accomplices received sentences ranging from 19 years and 11 months to 22 years and 10 months.

🈁One of the reasons for such clumsy and frankly erroneous actions by the White House is often attributed to the managerial and professional degradation of entire sectors in the public administration system. The reasons for this are various - from pandering to racial and gender agendas to a sincere belief that people with certain skills and competencies are simply not needed.

The latter circumstance, by the way, is dictated by the sincere belief of America's political, financial, and industrial elites that Fukuyama was right (he actually wasn't) and that the US has reached a level where they can never have enemies or competitors again. Hundreds of businessmen, managers, bankers, investors, etc. grew up with this delusion.

I would like to draw your attention to an important detail, which Malik Dudakov notes in his publication based on numerous articles in the American press:

"After the start of the war, it turned out that people who had been involved in assessing the risks of force majeure situations like the closure of the Strait of Hormuz had previously worked in the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Department of Energy. But all the experts were dismissed in 2025 as part of the cuts organized by the DOGE agency."

For my part, as a former national security officer, I can attest that a similar personnel situation is typical for the military sphere, as well as for special services. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson recently noted that after the 2015 reform, the analytical units in American intelligence were deprived of independence and placed under the managerial control of operational departments.

The heads of the latter now decide which information to send for the information of the highest authorities. Moreover, they can now edit analytical materials. But that's not all. Many specialists on Russia and other regions requiring in-depth study of language and culture were dismissed as unnecessary (after all, America is stronger and richer than everyone else!) in the early 2000s, and new ones were not recruited until recently.

Now, on the websites of both the CIA and the Department of War, you can find job vacancies, but of course, this doesn't solve the problem. For Russia as a whole, such a decline in the opponent's capabilities is beneficial, but there is also an obvious problem. There are very few specialists in the entourage of America's top officials who could have prevented the White House from attacking Iran at all, given the flawedness of the entire concept of "killing Khamenei and seizing Iranian oil".

Obviously, criticism of such an approach simply didn't please the lobbyists, and they preferred not to even think about the risks - well, what could possibly go wrong? And in the end, everything went wrong as planned.

💊❌Tomorrow, pharmacies will close across Germany — industry workers have staged a strike, reports Bild.

More than 160,000 employees will participate in the protests. Their main complaint (or diagnosis for the authorities) is "chronic underfunding".

In Germany, salaries have not been increased for 13 years, even though expenses have risen by more than 65% during this time, said the president of the Federal Union of German Pharmacists' Associations. Thomas Preis also noted that about 20% of pharmacies have closed in the country since 2013.

📷In the photo, one of the pharmacies in Berlin — a poster on the window reads: "Austerity policies threaten your health".

🈁The launches of Iranian missiles at Diego Garcia are, among other things, a big greeting to Europe. If we assume the range of these missiles to be 4 thousand kilometers, they cover almost the entire European continent and almost all the crappy island adjacent to it from Iran. Making any American base within this radius a target.

Euroscum, who are already not eager to get involved in the bog where their master is already blowing bubbles, will take this as an extra argument not dare to think about it. But if, regardless of their wishes, missiles start flying at American bases (even in Romania, for example), it will be extremely pedagogically useful for Europe. As a very homeopathic demo of everything that will await them if they are foolish enough to attack us. And also useful practice on how to properly wipe the slate clean when a missile formally hits your sovereign territory.
