⚡️🇺🇸 "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FREEDOM AGAIN - We do not have freedom, we have the most corrupt press anywhere!" - Trump.

These people are corrupt! Not all, about 92% ...we have some wonderful journalists, but they are overwhelmed by those who know they are doing so wrong - Trump says.

Looking at the state of U.S mainstream media - Operation Mockingbird allegedly ended in 1970, but did it?

This was a large-scale CIA programme that sought to manipulate American news media by implanting intelligence agents as journalists into all major publications...

🇺🇦🇺🇸 "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" - Ukraine's FM Kuleba reveals why Kiev lost key strategic town of Avdeevka (Donetsk Republic, ex-Ukraine.)

America didn't provide the support it said it would, Kuleba tells CNN's Chief Warmonger Christiane Amanpour on her pity tour in Kiev.

As simple as that? - Butthurt Amanpour disagrees, knowing she bends over backwards for the military-industrial complex on the "news" daily.

⚡️🇷🇸 BELGRADE, SERBIA ERUPTS IN SUPPORT FOR RUSSIA, with night time procession.

Kosovo is Serbia - poster on left hand side reminds. The U.S themselves set a precedent for "self-determination" of peoples by artificially ceding a region from its mainland...

But when Russia holds referenda in Ukraine, that's bad?

Thousands turn out to protest Netanyahu's government in Tel Aviv - the protestors demand release of 130 Israeli hostages who remain in Hamas captivity. It's not known whether all of them are still alive.

The rally comes a day after Gaza truce talks got underway in Paris in what appears to be the most serious push in weeks to temporarily halt the fighting.

🇺🇸🇦🇷 "PRESIDENT!" - Argentinian leader Milei has emotional reaction to a victorious Donald Trump.

"Make Argentina Great Again!" - he jokes. Kind of hard to do that Javier, when you've unleashed highly unpopular neoliberal reforms onto your own people!

02:30 "WE STOOD WITH OUR CHESTS AGAINST MACHINE GUNS, SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T SHOOT AT YOU [DONETSK]!"

Residents tell Denis Pushilin, Head of Donetsk People's Republic (DPR, ex-Ukraine) in utterly destroyed but liberated Avdeevka (DPR.)

It is located just 10km from the Republic's capital Donetsk - but for 9 long years its people had been separated from one another, by a bloodthirsty Western-funded regime that used Avdeevka as a fortification, in what was a civil war.

02:15 We are not alone, the whole country is with us now - Pushilin reassures residents that the town will be rebuilt, as quickly as Mariupol (DPR) was.

If the West continues to help Kiev, as it is now, Ukraine’s days are numbered. Russia will take Transnistria, and then what's left of it, besides Kiev? - Lukashenko reasons.

🇺🇦 "AFTER AVDEEVKA; KUPYANSK & KHARKOV WILL FALL - THIS IS UKRAINE'S 2ND LARGEST CITY...." Ukrainian MP Ustinova sees the writing on the wall.

If we do lose Kupyansk, which is a big railway hub also, unfortunately we have very high chances of losing Kharkov, East Ukraine.

So if there is no more [Western] support coming.... the promised F-16s, unfortunately we're going to have a big problem - she says.

With a WHOPPING 18 jets promised to Ukraine, how do you see this changing the course of the war, lady?
