🇷🇺 WE HAD A FEW PARTY POOPERS OVER THERE - Russian FM Lavrov reveals the usual culprits wrecking ASEAN security (not in those words).

USA, Japan, Korea, Australia & New Zealand - Lavrov names which countries prevented the adoption of the final declaration of the #ASEAN summit in Laos.

He notes that Western countries politicized the document to the extent that no agreement could be reached.

Further, U.S ideas of creating military blocs like an "Asian NATO" carry serious risks of confrontation in the region - Lavrov says.

Meanwhile, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam are all interested in joining the #BRICS+, the summit for which will take place on October 22-24 in the Russian city of Kazan.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 PSSST...EVIL #IRAN REALLY BAD AT SECRETS - Kind regards, Western media.

Tehran is threatening in secret diplomatic backchannels to target the oil-rich Arab Gulf states and other American allies in the Middle East, if their territories or airspace are used for an attack on Iran - Wall Street Journal (WSJ) writes.

Them backchannels are so secret, that not only does the WSJ know about 'em, but now we all do too.

Israel has threatened Tehran with a severe reprisal after Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month, with some Israeli officials and commentators pushing for damaging strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure - WSJ.

Ok, but didn't Israel kill the entire Hezbollah leadership before that?

Iran has warned it would respond with devastating hits on Israel’s civilian infrastructure, and would retaliate against any Arab state that facilitated the attack - WSJ.

Ok, all still quite logical...what is your point #WSJ? Much like your infamous "anonymous sources", the chances this conversation happened and is available to you is practically zero.

🇺🇸 BIGGEST BANKING #FINE IN HISTORY - slapped on U.S. TD #Bank by Attorney General Merrick #Garland.

TD Bank pleads guilty to multiple felonies, including conspiracy to violate the Bank Secrecy Act & launder money for drug cartels.

A $1.8 billion criminal penalty is imposed by the Justice Department, which, together with other civil penalties, will bring the total to $3 billion.

TD Bank created an environment in which financial crime could flourish - Garland advises.

The bank is 7th-largest U.S. bank by deposits and the 10th-largest by total assets. So, the real terrorists out there wear ties and suits. 🤷

🇮🇷🇷🇺 IRAN'S NEW PRESIDENT'S FIRST INTERVIEW with a Russian journalist.

I would say to Israel today to stop! Stop bombing residential buildings, stop killing people who have nothing....it does this because it knows they're supported by the U.S. and EU - Masoud #Pezeshkian says.

Meanwhile, the Western media propaganda machine is working overtime to paint Iran as the source of all evil (a close 2nd to Russia.)

🇷🇺 NO CAN DO: Putin does not plan on congratulating the future U.S. president on their victory - Kremlin Spokesman Peskov.

From a statesman that literally congratulates every new leader & acknowledges every tragedy in whatever state with condolences - y'all know you fucked up, USA...

🇭🇺 HYPOCRISY 'R US - Hungarian PM #Orban scolds EU colleagues over being held responsible for giving Russians work permits.

Only 7,000 Russians are employed in Hungary - however, Head of EU gynecology Von der Liar Leyen forgot to check the statistics of other European countries.

But why are regular Russian workers being spoken about like a disease? About which other nationality is this possible?

🇩🇪⚔🇩🇪En Garde! German Self Defence or German Foreplay?

Hans demonstrating how to defend against a “scary” female attacker armed with a cutlery knife. We once taught self defence to women but in the new Woke-Germany it’s Markus, Hans, Heinz and Franz that need protecting, from German women volk.

German men once had balls and once sounded masculine, but in the new Germany it’ll be Elsa, Eva, and Heidi on the front line.

Russia, you need to be very, very afraid!
