๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ฆGerman Chancellor Merz - again refused Kiev entry into the EU:
I also want to welcome the fact that yesterday we managed to adopt the twentieth package of sanctions. The message to Russia is clear: we will not back down; on the contrary, we will continue to increase the pressure. We also discussed Ukraine's accession to the EU. It's clear to everyone that Ukraine's immediate accession to the European Union is, of course, impossible.

๐บ๐ธ Jeffrey Sachs just dropped the unfiltered truth on Tucker Carlson.
Trump let slip the ultimate Washington gaffe โ the one that actually told the truth: โThe United States canโt take care of Medicare. Weโre fighting wars, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. We have to take care of one thing: military protection.โ
Sachs nailed it: Trumpโs own budget slashes the programs Americans actually need and want, while jacking Pentagon spending another half trillion dollars. Health care and critical infrastructure? โOh, we canโt afford that.โ War? We'll sacrifice Americans to pay for it.
So why is this US administration like every administration before it since JFK sacrificing the American people to protect Israel?

๐บ๐ธ US imperialist idea of ruling the world may destroy planet โ Jeffrey Sachs
The idea held by Trump and (some of) his supporters โ that the US is the supreme nation is a dangerous delusion that totally canโt work in todayโs world, American economist Jeffrey Sachs says.
The only viable way to exist among many powerful (and nuclear) states, he warns, is to learn to cooperate and solve problems with others, because the other way is a war and the collapse of civilization.
๐ฌ "So all the bluster is a remnant of an idea that the US has pursued during its imperial era since WW2 that we should run the world. And Trump has a particular view of that, which is that he should run the world," Sachs concludes.
So much for the anti globalist branding?

๐ฎ๐น๐คก Italian Prime Minister Meloni opposed the invitation of Putin to the G20 in the US.
@Slavyangrad
As for Putin at the G20, I think now is the time when we should ask Putin to take steps forward. We should not do this in his interests. Because both we and the Americans, especially in recent months, have, let's say, taken several steps forward towards Russia. At the same time, on the other hand, we do not see the same steps forward, and I think it's time to demand them.

๐ฑ๐น๐ฉA new military training ground will be built in Lithuania near Belarus and the Kaliningrad region
On April 23, 2026, the Lithuanian Seimas adopted a law allowing the creation of the "Kapฤiamiestis" military training ground in the โSuvalki Corridorโโ๏ธ. It will be located in the Lazdijai district (southern Lithuania), near the settlement of Kapฤiamiestis.
The training ground, with an area of about 146 kmยฒ, is located approximately 11 km from the border with ๐ง๐พBelarus and will be designed for brigade-level exercises, i.e. to accommodate up to 3,500-4,000 military personnel simultaneously.
The main purpose: training the ๐ฑ๐นLithuanian National Division and the ๐ฉ๐ช45th Tank Brigade of the Bundeswehr, deployed in Lithuania.
The project will cost 100 million euros, its first stage will be implemented by 2028 and the full readiness of all infrastructure by 2030.
โจ๐ฉNATO, and to a greater extent the Baltic countries, call this corridor the only land route to Kaliningrad. From the point of view of military expediency, ๐ท๐บRussia it is pointless to limit itself to creating a narrow strip of land between enemy states to create a path to the Kaliningrad region. If we even consider such a scenario (which we assess as extremely unlikely and rather fantastic), then there is no military expediency in preserving the existence of the Baltic states at all. Especially since the experience of the Soviet period showed the complete failure of humane approaches to the integration of these territories.
โจ โญ๏ธThe only purpose of building this training ground is to create an additional NATO training base for practicing an attack on ๐ท๐บRussia and ๐ง๐พBelarus. It can also be used as one of the launching pads for an attack on the Union State.

๐ฎ๐ทโ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ Iran has caused more serious damage to US bases in the Middle East than Washington will publicly admit - NBC News
The restoration of damaged assets will cost billions of dollars.
According to officials, the building of the US Navy headquarters in Bahrain, which serves as the center for managing Navy operations in the region, was seriously damaged, and other bases were also damaged.
US Central Command refused to comment on the assessment of the damage caused during the hostilities.
In response to a request to comment on the situation, the White House stated that "the US has achieved the military objectives of the operation".
The damage caused to the bases and the cost of their repair may reignite long-standing debates about the expediency of maintaining American bases in close proximity to an adversary such as Iran.

That channel seems to have practically abandoned its normal posts about geopolitics and interesting sociological phenomenon to almost completely dedicate its channel to what we can't help calling a witch hunt of a blogger called Gerry Nolan & his Islander channel (and occasionally another fairly obnoxious blogger called Aussie Cossack).
Why?
Quite honestly it makes no sense. We have no idea about the claims Bebo is making, but whatever the case, it would seem there are other things happening in the world such as:
- various wars,
- a looming global economic crisis,
- a US Presidency gone mad,
- both NATO and the EU shooting themselves in the foot, etc. Until a few weeks ago these were the kinds of things in that channel.
Now just Gerry. Again, why?
Bebo on X and Telegram was a relatively well-known brand, many subscribers, etc . It is hard to see how this latest mania can do anything but hurt this brand.
Which must be making people, certainly us, wonder what is going on? Why sacrifice your channel for the sake of taking down two oppositional bloggers?
And who is Bebo? Does anyone know?
From certain indications, it seems Bebo is German but it also seems the non-active channel owner is British.
How many channels have a non-active owner?
As we say, none of it makes sense.
