🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇨🇺🇵🇸 When Israel brought genocide to the people of Gaza, much of the world looked away and the West directly armed and enabled it. Recent US aggression against Cuba shows that the world has learned absolutely nothing from Gaza.
In both cases the US and Israel besieged their targets and imposed collective punishment, cutting off essential needs and supplies an entire nation and people.
The perpetrators were also entirely aware of the consequences of their own actions. Former Israeli Defense Minister and wanted ICC war criminal Yoav Gallant said “no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel” before describing the Palestinians as “human animals.” Israeli Prime Minister and fellow wanted ICC war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the people of Gaza as “Amalek” in a brazen attempt to dehumanize them. Gallant did the same by referring to the Palestinians as “human animals.”
Now you have a sitting US Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar saying “no electricity, no food, no medicine, only blackout.” Donald Trump’s administration has openly stated that the starvation of Cuba and the attacks on Venezuela are to punish the Cuban people for stepping out of line with Washington’s imperialist aims.
From assassination attempts and sanctions to invasions and even acts of terrorism, including the destruction of a passenger plane, the US thought they could force the Cuban people to bend the knee at gunpoint. They thought Cuba would collapse but it never happened.
The suffering of the people is blamed on the victims in such a cynical manner, as if starving an entire people were justified even if it was true that the Cuban and Palestinian people disapprove of the Communist Party or Hamas, which is not the case in either one.
Other similarities between the two include that they are decades-long projects with the US embargo on Cuba beginning in 1962 and the occupation of Palestine starting in 1967. However, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs from their homeland dates back to 1948 with the Nakba.
It's done against the will of every country in the world, with the US, Israel and now as of recent years Ukraine are the the only countries that consistently vote in the UN General Assembly to maintain the Cuba embargo. The US was also the only country that always vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN Security Council to shield Israel from international scrutiny. They also imposed sanctions on the ICC in response to the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
If either one of these countries engages in war crimes or collective punishment they have mutual protection from the other.
And worst of all a terrifying precedent has been set which declares that starvation is can be used as a weapon and catastrophic humanitarian crises can be engineered on an entire people is a legitimate method of warfare.
Gaza and Cuba have such striking similarities to each other in the intent, playbook, and language. However, the only thing that can be different this time is the world's response. If countries like Mexico choose to back off as they are beginning to do, they are effectively confirming that the US has the free will to condemn any nation that doesn't bend the knee to imperialism or become a puppet of the CIA to genocide.
The US is betting on the possibility that Russia, another potential oil supplier to Cuba, will be too bogged down in Ukraine negotiations. However, Moscow can break this blockade in a very simple and inexpensive way:
▪️ Withdraw from all Ukraine peace negotiations and deny Trump his much needed victory lap
▪️ Send roughly two to three tankers with fuel or the besieged island
▪️ Accompanying the oil tankers are a military escort with air defense systems and Russian marines
The US will back off immediately. They may complain, scream, and threaten but they won’t engage in a direct military confrontation with a nuclear power that could wipe them out in five minutes.

Orban dropped a political IED right into the Brussels temple and for good reason. The EU is planning to finish a coup against its own foundational laws to ram it through by 2027. Politico published the script. A five-step plot. A quiet blueprint for how to crush dissent, override Hungary, and force accession down the throats of a continent that never voted for this war. Never wanted it. And won’t survive it.
Step one in their quiet little playbook is to accelerate accession talks artificially — compress years of technical alignment into a political fast‑track, as if a country at war, riddled with structural collapse and corruption issues Brussels used to pretend it cared about, can simply be waved through because its unelected technocracy demands it.
Step two? Invent a halfway house — a “staged” or “partial membership” framework that lets Ukraine plug into EU institutions before it meets the criteria. Reverse enlargement. Rewrite the rules after the game has started. Change the architecture so the desired outcome becomes structurally inevitable.
Step three is telling: wait for Orban to fall in Hungary’s 2026 election. They are literally gaming the domestic political calendar of a sovereign member state as part of their enlargement strategy. Not policy. Not principle. Whisper for regime change in Hungary.
Step four and this is where the mask slips — is the discussion of neutralizing Hungary’s veto if the electorate doesn’t comply. Article 7. Suspension of voting rights. Strip a member state of its sovereign leverage so the machinery can move without friction. You are no longer a partner at that point. You are a province.
And step five? Change EU decision‑making rules more broadly so unanimity becomes optional when it is inconvenient. In other words: ensure this never happens again. Remove the brake permanently.
That is the five‑point plan.
And we are supposed to pretend this is normal democratic governance.
Orban said admitting Ukraine would thrust Europe into war. He’s reading the trajectory correctly. You do not integrate an active battlefield into a political and economic union without importing the total war into the union itself. This is utter insanity, tr fusion of war and bureaucracy.
This is not Europe’s war.
It became Europe’s problem because Brussels made it one by acting as NATO’s forward operating base, to be sacrificed at the end stage of American empire, then by turning enlargement into a geopolitical posion pill.
Fast‑track the process. Create a workaround membership tier. Telegraph their plan for outright regime change in Hungary. If that fails, suspend Hungary, which would be the best option for humanity.
And under von der Leyen, who was never directly elected by European citizens — the EU has hardened into something colder. Censorship regimes expanding under the Digital Services Act. Member states threatened over an inversion of “rule of law” when they dissent from the central line. Media ecosystems given editorial orders, guided, curated. Now veto rights treated as technical annoyances to be overcome.
Call it what it is... technocratic totalitarianism with a blue flag.
They talk about defending democracy while openly strategizing how to override democratic outcomes inside the Union. They talk about values while hinting at regime change in Budapest. They talk about peace while constructing a framework that ties 450 million Europeans to a war they never voted for.
And the contempt isn’t just for Ukraine, a country sacrificed for Brussels hubris and arrogance. It’s for Hungarians and ordinary Europeans.
And once vetoes are gone, once enlargement rules are rewritten, once Article 7 becomes a weapon of political override rather than a safeguard — there is no going back to the old equilibrium.
You will not have a union of nations.
You will have a totalitarian bloc. And blocs do not tolerate dissent. The real question is whether Europe wakes up before the machinery locks into place.

🇺🇦🤡 The war could end in a few months, - Zelensky
- The crackhead president stated that with an effective negotiation process, the end of the war is possible "within a few months".
- According to him, the Donbass issue remains unresolved. Kiev insists that control over the region should remain with Ukraine.
- Zelensky rejected the idea of creating a free economic zone as a buffer in the east of Donbass: "If this is our territory, and it is our territory, then the country whose territory it is should govern it."
- He noted that the Trump administration advocates for the simultaneous signing of all documents to end the war.
- However, a possible peace agreement should be approved by the Rada or put to a referendum.
- According to Zelensky, a ceasefire will require control and monitoring by the USA.

🇺🇸⚔️🇷🇺 OPERATION UNTHINKABLE: NATO’s Doctrine Against The Soviet Union
NATO is not and was never a defensive pact. The entire point of the alliance was to implement and carry out a British war plan against the Soviet Union called Operation Unthinkable, which was developed by the British Chiefs of Staff Committee and ordered by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in May 1945. It was then shared with the United States. Similar ideas had been proposed by U.S. Army General George Patton.
The plan involved preemptive attacks by the Allied Expeditionary Forces against the Soviet Red Army in Eastern Europe, where Moscow had been granted a sphere of influence per the agreement at the Yalta Conference. Their ultimate hope was to drive out Soviet forces in the region and ensure the establishment of a Western sphere of influence in Eastern Europe.
This could then be used as a launching pad for a war against the Soviet Union in its own territory, the same way Mao Zedong feared that if Korea reunited under the U.S. occupation in the South, it would then be used as a base to launch attacks on China.
The plan, as outlined by the British Chiefs of Staff, was declared as “to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire. Even though ‘the will’ of these two countries may be defined as no more than a square deal for Poland, that does not necessarily limit the military commitment.”
While they seem to endorse bringing free elections and Western-style liberal democracy to Poland, history was very clear that Washington and London would not respect the result if the communists were victorious. This was a very likely result in Poland where the Germans carried out some of their worst crimes and the communist partisans had been the most effective anti-Nazi militants in Europe throughout the war, not just in Poland but also Yugoslavia and throughout Eastern and even Western Europe.
The U.S. State Department and CIA had later interfered heavily in the French and Italian elections in 1947 and 1948 to ensure the defeat of the Communist parties, including threatening the halt of foreign aid, as well as even sanctions and military intervention.
The British Chiefs of Staff were reportedly concerned of a potential Soviet threat to Anglo-American influence over Western Europe due to the massive size of Soviet forces in Eastern Europe and this perception that Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin was unreliable. It was a perception that was completely unfounded because the Soviet presence and influence in Eastern Europe had been guaranteed at Yalta.
The scheduled date for the Western Allied invasion of Soviet-held Eastern Europe was on July 1st 1945, just four days before a general election was to be held, where Churchill and the Conservative Party were set to be defeated in a landslide by Clement Attlee’s Labour Party. The plan assumed a surprise attack in the middle of the Soviet line in Dresden by 47 American and British divisions, which represented nearly half of the 100 divisions available to British, U.S., and Canadian headquarters.
However, the British Chiefs of Staff considered the plan to be unfeasible on a military basis because the Soviet Union held an advantage in three out of four key areas:
▪️ Infantry Divisions - 80 Allied, 228 Soviet, 2.85 : 1 Soviet Advantage
▪️ Armored Divisions - 23 Allied, 36 Soviet, 1.57 : 1 Soviet Advantage
▪️ Tactical Aircraft - 6,048 Allied, 11,802 Soviet, 1.95 : 1 Soviet Advantage
▪️ Strategic Aircraft - 2,750 Allied, 960 Soviet, 2.86 : 1 Allied Advantage

At this point, the Soviet Union had not yet launched its attacks on Japanese forces in Manchuria, so there was also a concern among British generals that if the Western Allies initiated hostilities, Moscow may ally with Japan.
However, this was unlikely as the Communist Party of China was increasingly gaining ground in the Civil War and whose guerrilla tactics were admitted by General Joseph Stilwell to have been very successful in fighting against the Japanese Army.
The offensive operations would have been carried out by U.S., British and Western-backed exiled Polish forces, as well as 10 divisions of the German Army, remobilized after having been captured as prisoners of war.
The plan was ultimately deemed “hazardous” because a quick success would rely only on the element of surprise and if that could not be achieved before the beginning of the winter, the British assessment concluded that the Allied Expeditionary Forces would be committing themselves to a protracted total war with the Soviet Union.

🇺🇸🌐 Here is the best way American foreign policy can be described:
Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent Theodore Roosevelt’s style of imperialism. An empire that is unapologetic, transactional, and represented almost entirely through tariffs and outright annexation.
They reject the moralizing rhetoric about liberal values, instead just focusing on unilaterally exerting power and dominance, while collecting money and profits from the plunder of sovereign economic resources.
The Democrats, establishment Republicans, national security state, and their front organizations like DSA and the Lincoln Project embrace an arguably more sinister and dark form of empire precisely because of how deceptive it is called liberal internationalism inspired by Woodrow Wilson. Military intervention and economic coercion is coded under the language of democracy, universal values, human rights, and more.
Countries have the right to self-determination on paper but in practice they are subordinate to the US Dollar through the IMF, World Bank, and Petrodollar. Those who step out of line will face military invasion, bombings, regime change, or coups that are wrapped in the banner of these “moral” labels and come with IMF loans, debt slavery, and the privatization of natural resources by American and European corporations.
The language of international law and institutions are used to set fire to those same principles.
Moralizing becomes a cover for unilateral aggression, usually done under the guise of alliances that claim to be multilateral such as NATO, the EU, and the G7 but are really directly subordinate to the US economically, politically, culturally, and militarily.
Where the conservatives say “we are taking this because we claim it’s ours”, the liberals will say “history requires this and we will be greeted as liberators.”
And yet nowhere in this debate are the critics of empire and non-interventionists who are labeled as enemies of the state by the CIA and FBI.
