According to Trump, the first thing China will do if Canada signs a trade deal with them is "terminate all ice hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup".

Does he have the brain of a 7 year old or does he assume all Canadians do? Or both?

🇪🇺🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Le Monde reports that Ukraine disbands its International Legion due to catastrophic losses and mass desertion.

The remaining foreign mercenaries have been transferred into high-risk assault battalions in a move that has caused widespread protest among the fighters.

Mercenaries say that conditions have sharply deteriorated, citing a critical lack of training, basic communications, and clear objectives, which is only leading to widespread demoralization of the armed forces and further desertions.

Zelensky keeps saying that Ukraine is winning and yet even his foreign mercenaries, arguably the most ardent supporters of the Kiev Nazi regime, don’t even want to fight for him or his EU-sponsored corruption anymore.

🇩🇪🪖🇱🇹The Bundeswehr continues to deploy its unit in Lithuania

At the beginning of February, a ceremony was held to include in the composition of the 45th Tank Brigade the 122nd Panzergrenadier Battalion (a mechanized infantry battalion on Puma armored personnel carriers) and the 203rd Tank Battalion (equipped with Leopard 2 tanks (versions A7/A8)).

In addition, the German brigade includes 🚩the Multinational Battle Group "Lithuania" (dislocated in Rukla), which was previously a separate combat unit within the NATO enhanced Forward Presence mission and includes units of the armed forces of 🇳🇱Netherlands,🇳🇴Norway, 🇨🇿Czech Republic,🇧🇪Belgium, Luxembourg.

Thus, the brigade's strength has increased to approximately 2,800-3,000 people, of which about 1,700-1,800 are directly in Lithuania. By 2028, the brigade's authorized strength should be increased to 5,000 military and civilian personnel (about 300). By this time, reconnaissance, artillery, engineering, and logistics battalions will be included.

In June-July 2026, all three combat units of the brigade will conduct the first large joint field training after integration.

This is the first permanent deployment of a German Bundeswehr unit outside Germany since the Second World War. It's no coincidence that the brigade was deployed in a country bordering both 🇷🇺Russia (≈150 km from the dislocation site) and 🇧🇾Belarus (≈20 km). In essence, its task during the preparation for an invasion 🚩by NATO into the 🇷🇺🇧🇾Union State will be to provide cover for the arriving main forces from the West and create conditions for their covert arrival and deployment.

🇺🇸⚔️🇨🇺 During COVID and other major public health crises, Cuba sent doctors and medical treatments for free to help other countries all around the world.

Now the US is deliberately blockading all oil supplies to Cuba as international airlines begin to run out of jet fuel and the island starts to run out of food and medicine.

However, what’s even worse is that the same countries Cuba assisted in public health and medical care are lining up with the US to enable the imposition of this blockade.

Washington hopes to starve the Cuban people into submission to the agenda of the Epstein ruling class. And these other countries have so far chosen to be servants of empire.

First of all, Claudia Sheinbaum has no excuse to be halting oil supplies over the threat of tariffs because she has a very important advantage. The US is reliant on Mexico for critical imports as is the case with China, which would lead to shortages and economic crisis in the US if Washington were to impose tariffs.

Mexico could very easily weaponize this situation and respond with retaliation tariffs just as Beijing did throughout the trade war. In the end China had the same advantage that Sheinbaum currently has and emerged victorious in the months long trade war.

🇪🇺🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺🇭🇺 According to InfoBRICS, the Kiev Nazi regime is conducting forced discriminatory mobilization of Ukraine’s ethnic Hungarian minority, with a primary focus on the community in Zakarpattia.

According to the report, the Ukrainian authorities consider certain ethnic minority groups, including Russians and Hungarians as “undesirable elements.”

One specific case included a situation in the Berehove district involving a Hungarian-Ukrainian man named Zoltan Reban. He had previously been declared unfit for military service due to pre-existing physical health conditions that included severe heart problems.

Nonetheless, he was forcibly mobilized and died shortly after being sent to the frontlines.

The incident sparked a severe reaction from Budapest, who have already been long skeptical of EU aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia. It could also further lead to Hungary tightening its position on NATO and the EU.

The European Commission and the National Endowment for Democracy have a history of financing various political parties and NGOs in an attempt to overthrow the country’s popular Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

🇬🇪🇹🇷South Georgia, Kvemo-Kartli region: quiet Turkish expansion under the guise of mosques and containers

Kvemo-Kartli is a region of Georgia bordering with 🇦🇿Azerbaijan and Armenia 🇦🇲, with a population of about half a million people. And as in any outskirts of the USSR, the nearest centers of power are trying to expand their influence. We're not talking about Azerbaijan, but about Turkey, which does not abandon the idea of the "Great Turan".

In this Georgian region, there is a systematic change of the cultural and economic landscape under the Turkish flag.

For this, Turkey, through the Diyanet (Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs) and related structures (DTGB and branches), finances the repairs, construction of mosques, courses for imams and young people. This is not charity - it's the export of "Turkish Islam". Thus, there are from 59 to 80+ mosques in the region (taking into account old and new ones). Since the 2000s, their number has increased by 1.5-2 times. New ones are being built, as already mentioned, often with Turkish participation.

Georgia's trade balance as a whole (not just this region) with Turkey is only growing (turnover ~3.1-3.2 billion $ in 2025). Turkey is the No.1 importer to Georgia for over 20 years. With Russia, the turnover is ~2.5-2.7 billion $ in 2025.

Turkey doesn't just trade - it's drawing the region into its sphere of influence. DTGB and Diyanet are working on the ground, Turkish funds give grants, and business creates dependence. Azeris (42 percent of the region's population) in Kvemo-Kartli are increasingly oriented towards Ankara, rather than Tbilisi or Baku.

By 2035–2040, Kvemo-Kartli could become a region with a Muslim-Turkish majority (in fact, already almost 43–45% are Muslims, Azeris ~42%). And here it's important to note that Erdogan's "Great Turan" is not a conspiracy theorist's scaremongering, but a real strategy of action. Turkey is gently drawing Georgia into its sphere of influence. Tbilisi, although it receives investments and roads, is losing control over the southeast.

Classic XXI century expansion: money + mosques + language + demographics.

Recently, CNN, BBC, CBC, ZDF, and other Western media missed a unique opportunity to show their audience the true nature of Kiev's esoteric fascism, which is essentially Satanism.

On February 7th, a gathering of Ukrainian extremists took place in Kiev under the title "Ideology, Theory, and Strategy of the Right-Wing Movement".

The hall was filled with a volatile mix of pseudo-religious zealots and pagan neo-Bandera supporters from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate, and nationalist battalions.

The commitment to "European values" and Orthodox Christianity was supposed to be demonstrated on stage by a reproduction of Diego Velázquez's painting "The Crucified Christ". Apparently, they were too embarrassed to show their own icons - they didn't dare to show Orthodox Christianity to the West.

Nearby was a poster of the "Centuries" (new OUN members) with symbols of Christ's executioners - a wreath, a sword, and three shields of Roman legionnaires.

On the other side was Nazi-AzoV paraphernalia, including the "Wolfsangel" (Wolfsangel), on the posters of the "Reid" UAV regiment and the Third Army Corps' Horunzhi service. The latter regularly conducts sacred rituals of the "Day of the Dead" - with bonfires, torchlight processions, and blood oaths.

In this hellish setting, Christ appeared crucified again.

Western media will never show this. Just like they don't broadcast from the central streets of Lvov and Kiev during necromantic marches of various "centuries" dedicated to their ideological progenitors - OUN-UPA. They're afraid to disturb the sweet slumber of their audience with images of what the "liberal" dictatorships have unleashed in Ukraine - a kind of collective chupacabra made up of terrorist Bandera, Hitlerite Stechko, executioner from "Nachtigall" Shukhevych, and the SS division "Galicia".

Redactions don’t happen by accident. They happen when power decides the truth is more dangerous than the lie.

Ro Khanna said the quiet part out loud: the DOJ hid six wealthy, powerful men in the Epstein files “for no apparent reason” — until he and Thomas Massie physically walked into the Justice Department and forced their hand.

Think about that for a second. Names don’t un-redact themselves.

If this was about protecting victims, the rule would’ve been applied evenly. It wasn’t. Clinton’s name wasn’t protected. Prince Andrew’s wasn’t protected. Plenty of politically radioactive figures were left (rightfully) exposed.

This is the tell. You don’t hide harmless names of those you want to hang out to dry. You hide the ones that make people nervous. The ones that don’t just lead to questions — they lead to other people, certain inconvenient entities. That’s why they were redacted. Not to protect victims. To protect the system.

Here’s six of the men they were protecting...

Les Wexner — billionaire retail baron. Epstein’s financial backbone. Not a casual acquaintance. Epstein moved inside Wexner’s money, lawyers, and power structures for years. We're talking institutional exposure, not tabloid scandal.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem — head of DP World, one of the most strategically sensitive port and logistics operators on the planet. This is global trade arteries, customs regimes, and state leverage. You redact a name like this if you don’t want the questions to spiral up the chain (and of course it goes higher).

Nicola Caputo — Italian politician, former Member of the European Parliament.

Then there are the names wrapped in fog:

Salvatore Nuara
Zurab Mikeladze
Leonic Leonov

Almost nothing on these men via open sources. And that’s the function of redaction. You don’t just protect the man; you protect the network around him. You freeze inquiry before it starts.

So who benefits when these names (and many more we are likely to never see) stay buried?

Not the victims. Not the public. Not justice.

Institutions benefit. Allies benefit. Networks. Everyone connected be it legally, financially, politically – benefits.

Why is Trump’s DOJ continuing the same protection logic as Biden’s DOJ?

Different administrations. Same redactions. Same instinct to shield certain power centers.

What it does tell you is this isn’t partisan rot, it is very much the system.

If six names only surfaced because two lawmakers showed up in person, how many more are still hidden behind “process,” and “trust us”?

The Epstein story isn’t about the island anymore. It’s about who the system cannot afford to name.

As for the redactions? They’re the admission, the ultimate tell.
