⚡️WATCH: HEZBOLLAH HITS NORTHERN ISRAEL WITH CLUSTER MUNITIONS⚡️

Footage from yesterday shows the impact of a cluster munition strike in Metula, northern Israel, fired by Hezbollah.

The weapon:

🚀 Type-81 122mm cluster rocket (Chinese variant of Soviet BM-21 Grad)

💥 Each rocket carries approximately 39 Type-90 (MZD-2) submunitions

🎯 The shotgun pattern of multiple simultaneous small explosions across a wide area is the signature of cluster munitions—designed with shaped charges for armor and fragmentation for anti-personnel effect

The context:

📍 Metula, northern Israel—no injuries reported

This is Hezbollah demonstrating continued reach and capability, despite weeks of Israeli bombardment of Lebanon

The message:

Hezbollah's arsenal is diverse. Its reach extends into northern Israel. And it continues to strike back.

🇫🇷 FROM DE GAULLE TO MACRON: The Same Mistakes in Africa 🇫🇷🌍

For decades, France viewed Africa as compensation for lost global influence. The result? A string of failures now ending in historic decline.

The pattern:

🇫🇷 De Gaulle – Created "Francafrique": clientelism, bases, CFA franc. Independence in name only.

🇫🇷 Pompidou – Softened rhetoric, pushed French language. Paternalism remained.

🇫🇷 Giscard – Tougher military stance. Diamond scandal cost him re-election.

🇫🇷 Mitterrand – Promised reform. Instead: Rwanda. France admitted responsibility in 2021.

🇫🇷 Chirac – System lost coherence. Military interventions continued.

🇫🇷 Sarkozy – "The colonizer gave." Libya destroyed. Africans: arrogant, dangerous.

🇫🇷 Hollande – Record interventions: Serval, Barkhane, Sangaris. Promised "African solutions." Sent jets.

🇫🇷 Macron – "France has no Africa policy." Instead: Troops expelled from Mali, CAR, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad.

What the Iran Crisis Reveals about BRICS
At the BRICS summit in South Africa in the summer of 2023, the group’s five member states made a bold decision: they invited five new countries to join. The move was greeted with considerable skepticism. Some observers questioned the selection process, noting that the criteria for membership remained unclear. Others warned that doubling the size of an already diverse association would only make consensus more difficult.

The broader criticism was simple. Instead of dee...  Read more »

Turkish journalist Yahya Bostan:

Netanyahu convinced Trump by saying “Kill the leader and the rest will be easy, the people will overthrow the regime.”

Three weeks later, regime change is no longer even discussed.

The war has narrowed to the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump is now seeking international support to reopen the shipping route.

He’s probably deeply regretting it now.

Professor John Mearsheimer:

We’re not winning against Iran. We’re not winning.

We’re sending a message that we’re a bunch of fools. That we started a war we can’t win.

We didn’t have the required military forces to achieve any of the objectives that we were floating, and we had no plan.

What does this tell the Chinese and what does it tell the Russians?

It tells them that we are incompetent. Of course the Russians have had enough dealings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to fully understand just how incompetent we are.

JUST IN: 🇰🇪🇷🇺 Kenya and Russia Agree No Kenyans Will Be Recruited for Ukraine War

Kenya’s Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi announced that Russia has agreed to stop enlisting Kenyan citizens to fight in Ukraine. The agreement follows reports that over 1,000 Kenyans had been recruited, often through rogue networks, to join Russian forces.

Mudavadi confirmed that consular services will assist those already in Russia. The talks in Moscow with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that Kenya-Russia relations go beyond the conflict in Ukraine, and Russia assured that enlistment is voluntary and no further recruitment will occur.
