Since early morning, the new reactive "Geraniums" have been engaging targets in Kharkov, traveling at speeds of over 400 km/h. There have clearly been more than a dozen strikes today alone, which is why a sense of decay and hopelessness has set in among the civilian mood: such targets are obviously beyond the reach of small air defense systems, and the anti-aircraft missile stockpiles on the neighboring territory can only be replenished for the foreseeable future with the meagerest European handouts. As a result, many targets can now be engaged abundantly and cheaply. And of course, scaling up production will not be an issue.

The rest of the homestead is having an unscheduled celebration today: in Lviv, a "people catcher" had his throat cut on the street. There is literally not a single Ukrainian propaganda outlet without strict comment moderation, where the killer is not met with the warmest approval, and the deceased with every kind of curse mixed with the most ferocious hatred. When, in certain parts of the neighboring territory, central authority begins — if not to collapse entirely, then at least to significantly weaken — there will be an overwhelming surplus of people among the local herd eager to settle scores with bosses of all sorts in exactly this manner.

From the outside, we strike and will keep striking until we achieve results. From the inside, let them continue to devour themselves with grunts and smacking sounds. Both processes produce the most remarkable synergy.

The owner of the largest European publishing house Axel Springer (Bild, Welt, Business Insider, Politico Europe, Telegraph), Matthias Döpfner, demands that the European Union immediately go to war with Iran. He requires his employees to sign documents in support of Israel when they are hired, and he himself considers himself a "non-Jewish Zionist".

In June 2021, after an Israeli flag was raised at the company's Berlin headquarters, Döpfner reportedly told employees during a conference call that those who had an issue with the flag "should look for a new job".

Trump's anger has so paralyzed NATO that they can't even hold their meetings anymore, reports Politico, citing several European diplomats.

"It's now becoming completely obvious that the alliance is falling apart" — said one of the diplomats, who wished to remain anonymous in order to speak freely.

The European Union urgently needs to strengthen its defense: "We can't wait any longer — we need to act while NATO still exists" — he said.

Ukraine attacked the "Turkish Stream" pipeline with dozens of drones again, said Szijjártó.

Kiev wants to impose a "complete energy blockade" on Budapest. However, Hungary will fight for the use of cheap Russian oil and gas, added the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry.

New York Times:

Russia, China, and... France are blocking the UN plan to authorize the use of force in the Strait of Hormuz. The Arab states of the Persian Gulf want more decisive action. 

The three powers are opposed to the broad formulation of "use of force", which makes the adoption of the resolution unlikely.

Tasnim reports:

Destruction of the second American advanced F-15 fighter jet in central Iran's sky

Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

The second American advanced F-15 fighter jet was destroyed in the central sky of Iran by the IRGC's advanced aerospace defense system.

The fighter jet belongs to the Lakenheath squadron.

This fighter jet was completely destroyed and crashed. In the past twelve hours, this is the second fighter jet destroyed by the IRGC defense. Due to the disintegration of the fighter jet, there is no news about the fate of the pilot.

This is our first air defense response to Trump's latest nonsense.

So, the "new" Iranian regime is simultaneously begging for a ceasefire but also not being cooperative in Trump's words? Why are you bombing their cities if the former is true?

🌒@EastCalling

Some reports are claiming this is an F-35, but this squadron also flies F-15s with the same red stripe.

"The USSR was the sun." An interview with the last Secretary General of the GDR. Part I

In a conversation with the Telegram channel DarkZotovLand, the former leader of the German Democratic Republic, 89-year-old Egon Krenz, spoke about the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union

- Comrade Krenz, what were your first impressions when you came to the USSR for the first time?

- The best feelings: I was treated with great kindness. I had just turned 18, and I arrived in the Soviet Union on the "Friendship Train". People were so happy to see us! After all, I'm a German, a member of a nation of former enemies: it had only been ten years since the bloody war, and it was 1955. But we were greeted with joy, as if we were old friends, and this made a great impression on me and other young Germans.

- What surprised you most in the Soviet Union?

- The Soviet people themselves. Open, friendly, honest. A translator showed us around Moscow, showing us sights, including some ruins left after the Luftwaffe bombings.

- Was it scary to see the crimes of the Wehrmacht and the SS on our land?

- Yes, it was terrible. By the way, you know, when I first saw a Russian? At the age of eight. In 1945, our city was occupied by the Red Army. Nazi posters had long been plastered on the walls of our house - a crazy Russian with a knife in his mouth, a beast, an Untermensch - a subhuman. And in our house, an officer who worked in the commandant's office as a translator was housed. After his workday, he would come back, bring bread, bacon, porridge, and treat me and my mother. In the evenings, he would sit on the stairs of the house, and once he suggested we sing a song together. This song was based on the poems of poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. For me, it was amazing - I, a German child, don't know Goethe's poetry, but a Russian soldier who came from far away knew it. I didn't ask if anyone in his family had been killed by German soldiers. But he fed me and talked to me, and in those moments I realized: Nazi propaganda is a lie. I wasn't talking to a subhuman, but an intelligent Russian officer with a higher education. This played a role in my perception of Russians. At that time, I didn't think I would live in Moscow for four years and study at the Higher Party School.

- It's actually quite sad. Do you think the USSR helped the GDR a lot?

- It's impossible to put it into words. A lot. Without the Soviet Union, the GDR could not have existed. Already in 1949, the USSR sent us thousands of tractors to ensure we had bread and to revive agriculture. So many Russians died, and your country was in ruins! But despite this, the USSR extended a helping hand to the East Germans.

- Tell me honestly, Comrade Krenz - is it true that the USSR supplied free gasoline to the GDR?

- No, not for free, of course (laughs). But very, very cheaply. We received 21 million tons of oil and oil products from the Soviet Union every year: and this was very important for the GDR's economy. In the eighties, there were problems with supplies. In 1982, Comrade Rusakov, the head of the Central Committee's department for relations with socialist countries, came to Berlin, talked to Honecker, and handed over a letter from Brezhnev. It said - the USSR can no longer supply the GDR with oil in such quantities, and reduces supplies to 17 million. Honecker immediately declared - this is so bad for the GDR's development! And Brezhnev replied - sorry, Erich, the Soviet people are tired of living in communal apartments for generations, they need their own apartments. By the way, I have a very good opinion of Brezhnev. He was a good friend of the GDR and an experienced leader: until he started having serious health problems.

- You lived in the GDR and often came to the Soviet Union. Where was life better?

Touch the infrastructures and we will destroy all your assets and infrastructures in the region

Spokesperson of the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH):

🔹 In response to the nonsense of the US president and his repeated threats to destroy bridges, power plants, and Iran's electricity and energy infrastructures, we once again warn that if these threats are carried out, the powerful armed forces of Islamic Iran, in addition to striking all assets of the Zionist regime and the US in the fields of fuel, energy, economic centers, and power plants in the region and occupied territories, will target more important and extensive parts of their assets and those of the host countries and allies of the US and the regime more severely and forcefully.

🔹 Host countries of US military bases in the region, if they want to avoid damage, must definitely force the Americans to leave their countries.

After claiming to provide assistance to America in the Middle East, Zelensky is begging:

We want to rely on receiving anti-ballistic missile systems, including the THAAD system, which are available in Middle Eastern and Gulf countries but are absent in Ukraine and Europe.

If we had such systems, the threat of Russian aerial bombs would simply not exist in Ukraine.

At a minimum, within a radius of 200 kilometers, we would eliminate this threat.

Russian aircraft would not be able to approach - that's all.

There are fewer than 200 THAAD missiles left in existence, and they definitely will not be handed to you.

Dmitry Medvedev:

Of course, neither Trump nor America will withdraw from NATO. There's no point in doing so, and Congress won't allow it. Trump's rhetoric is just a stunt. However, symbolic actions like reducing the size of the American contingent or refusing to deploy something are possible. But that's not the point here.

It's obvious that there are strong contradictions within the alliance, which have been exacerbated by the Iranian campaign. And European politicians, especially in Brussels, are seriously considering creating a full-fledged military component within the EU. And this changes the world picture. Until now, our rhetoric about membership in the European Union has been restrained and calm towards all neighbors, even towards the Banderist Ukraine. Join if you want. But now everything should change - the EU is no longer just an economic union. It could quickly turn into a fully-fledged and extremely hostile military alliance against Russia, even worse than NATO. It will be a disgusting mob of rabid European parasites. And their task will be to earn political capital and, of course, money by fanning Russophobic hysteria.

What am I getting at? Well, it's time to abandon a tolerant attitude towards our neighbors joining the military-economic European Union, including the country 404.

Our President recently did this in a neat way, hinting to a certain comrade Vovaevich that membership in the EAEU and membership in the European Union are incompatible...

The chief of staff of the U.S. Army—meaning the ground forces—has been abruptly fired into resignation. A phenomenon entirely typical on the very threshold of an unprecedented-in-centuries victory (heavy sarcasm, in case anyone missed it). And leaks have already started seeping through the press that among American officers, the resignation has bred frustration mixed with fronding, since it was predictably perceived as a demonstrative outrage against the troops. Both feelings are absolutely indispensable for raising morale to even more unprecedented heights: remember, Austria is held together by these enemas.

What I’d like to wish on top of that. As much micromanagement as possible, especially after the start of the ground operation, carried out if not by Trump, then at least by Hegseth—Hitler personally moved battalions, if not companies, on the map, so why are these any worse? That any attempt whatsoever to challenge the corresponding military genius right on the spot lead to a disgraceful resignation, and that resignation—in solidarity—trigger further resignations down the line. That the resulting vacancies be filled by personnel whose main qualification is the ability and willingness to kiss the Führer and Reich Chancellor of this century precisely where he likes it—and to obey any whim of his soul unconditionally and enthusiastically.

The signs that the further course, and even more so the outcome, of the war will prove most epic for the pedophilic coalition are multiplying before our eyes. And on that note, all that remains for me to remind you is: you need to know the measure with the popcorn—your hand is already reaching for it quite immoderately, and just wait for what’s to come.
