Zelensky: We have to save our country, and then the economy.

First of all, security; second is the economy, not the other way around. https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2042545708369059999/video/1

Europe can't match Russia without Ukraine and Turkey, Zelensky says. If the US leaves NATO, the EU will have to handle its own security – and it's not ready. Russia plans to expand its army to 2.5 million by 2030. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/2042545994399662157/video/1

Exactly. This isn’t about allies failing the U.S., it’s about the White House trying to reshape NATO into something it was never meant to be.

What’s killing NATO isn’t the European refusals to access to US bases, but Trump’s unilateral decision to redefining NATO as a US force-projection tool rather than a collective defense arrangement.

That’s the constitutional coup against the alliance.

Europe didn’t break NATO, Trump did. https://www.ft.com/content/e2347e81-19b2-4cd5-aea4-ff6bacf0e71b?shareType=nongift - Alberto Alemanno 🇪🇺

👁🇭🇺 "Big Brother" in Hungarian, or George Orwell's 1984 in practice:

Orbán's digital surveillance system, - OsintFlow
According to an investigation by VSquare, in cooperation with Citizen Lab, Hungary's intelligence services have been using tools from the Israeli company Cobwebs Technologies for at least 5 years.

At the same time, locally developed tools are also used - specifically through the company SCI-Network Ltd., which acts as an intermediary in procurements.

The most powerful product in this system is Webloc (also WebLock / WebLoc).

Webloc is a global geolocation surveillance system that monitors hundreds of millions of people based on data from mobile applications and digital advertising.

In fact, it involves the use of smartphone advertising identifiers without the knowledge or consent of users.

Such practice is considered illegal under GDPR in the European Union.
Documents indicate that Hungary has been using these tools since at least 2022.

In March 2026, a few weeks before the parliamentary elections, the licenses were renewed.

RT @felix_drost: @Felix_Nuno @klaasm67 Also a tighter political union that would stop the Orbans of Europe to prevent our self defense while also stopping the Sarkozy's from adventures and mistaking national with European interest. Good debate to have! But yes we don't need to have global capab, just near abroad.

RT @felix_drost: @Felix_Nuno @klaasm67 This also relevant; we do fill in a lot of emergent capabilities with Ukraine on board.

🚨 BREAKING: Zelensky proposes a defensive military alliance that includes the EU + Ukraine, Turkey, Norway, and the UK.
This will enable control of the seas, skies, and land of all Europe as the United States withdraws from NATO.
The alliance will be stronger than Russia. https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/2042405305544577369/video/1 - Igor Sushko

The IDF says it killed two Palestinian operatives in Gaza yesterday, claiming both were preparing “imminent” attacks on troops.

In southern Gaza, Mahmoud Barim of the Mujahideen Brigades was targeted; the army says he was conducting surveillance on forces and "possessed a large amount of weaponry."

In northern Gaza, Ahmad Muhammad Saleh of Hamas’s Nukhba Force was killed, accused of advancing multiple attack plans against IDF troops. The strike also killed several additional Hamas operatives, according to the military.

"The terrorists posed a real threat to IDF troops and were eliminated in precise strikes," the military adds.
