🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 RUBIO: “CHINA OPPOSES MILITARIZED HORMUZ” – Trump Says Xi Wants a Deal
At the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing, two key admissions emerged that the West’s “maximum pressure” narrative is running on fumes.
🔴 What Rubio said:
🇨🇳 China told the US it opposes militarising the Strait of Hormuz – and also opposes Iran’s toll system.
🇺🇸 The US shares that position – but fails to admit that its own naval blockade is the militarisation it claims to reject.
🔴 What Trump said:
🗣️ President Xi told Trump: “If I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help” – to open the strait and end the crisis.
🛢️ Trump noted that China buys “that much oil” from Iran, so naturally Xi has a relationship with Tehran.

🇱🇻💥 NATO GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES OVER UKRAINIAN DRONE INCIDENT – Latvian PM Resigns
A Ukrainian kamikaze drone hit an oil depot in Latvia – and the political fallout has brought down the government.
Latvian Prime Minister Evika Siliņa has announced her resignation after Defence Minister Andris Sprūds stepped down over the weekend. The crisis was triggered by a Ukrainian long‑range drone strike on an empty oil depot near the Russian border.
🛩️ The incident: Two Ukrainian drones hit a fuel storage site in Rēzekne, ~40km from Russia. No casualties, but the political shock was massive.
🏛️ The fallout: Sprūds resigned, calling the incident “regrettable but understandable.” Siliņa blamed “political jealousy and narrow party interests” – but the coalition was set to collapse anyway.
🌍 NATO’s silence: Finland, Estonia have warned Ukraine to control its drones. Latvia’s government pays the price.

🇷🇺🌍 LAVROV: “The Real Goal of the Iran War Was to Prevent Arab-Iran Normalization”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: the US-Israeli attack on Iran was never about nuclear weapons – it was about blocking Tehran’s rapprochement with Arab states and forcing Gulf monarchies to abandon Palestine.
🎯 “I have no doubt that one of the goals was to prevent the normalization of relations between Iran and the Arab states. Now, everything is being done to ensure that reconciliation never happens.”
🇺🇸 The US is pressuring Arab states to “force them to betray the Palestinian cause.”
🛢️ Washington is using “neocolonial” tactics to “strong‑arm everyone into buying expensive US oil and LNG rather than cheap Russian oil. They seek to rule the world through controlling global energy supplies.”

🇮🇷🛡️ “BRICS MUST SHATTER THE US SENSE OF IMPUNITY” – Iran’s FM in New Delhi
At the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting, Abbas Araghchi delivered a stark warning: declining imperialist powers are acting aggressively to reverse the march toward multipolarity.
🌍 “We cannot ignore the common and dangerous threat we all face.” – Iran has been attacked twice by the US‑Israel axis in the past year. Many other BRICS members have also faced Washington’s “hateful pressure and coercion.”
📉 “Declining imperialist powers seek to turn back time. In their fall, they act aggressively.” – The US is trying to preserve hegemony through “horrific genocides” and “shocking violations of national sovereignty.”
🏛️ BRICS must become “one of the main pillars” in shaping a fairer global order, giving the Global South a more prominent role.

🇺🇸🔄 PENTAGON’S NEW STRATEGY: Cheap Mass-Produced Missiles to Replace Depleted Stockpiles – “Thanks to Iran’s Shahed”
After burning through decades of advanced munitions in Ukraine and Iran, the US military is pivoting to low‑cost, mass‑produced weapons – using technology reverse‑engineered from Iran’s Shahed‑136 drone. The empire is learning from its “adversary.”
🚀 10,000+ low‑cost cruise missiles + up to 12,000 inexpensive hypersonic weapons – the Pentagon’s new push to restock depleted arsenals.
🛠️ Emerging defense firms (Anduril, CoAspire, Leidos, Zone 5) will lead production – bypassing traditional contractors.
🧠 Reverse‑engineered from Iran’s Shahed‑136 – the US Air Force’s Low‑cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) is based on Iranian technology.
💥 The trigger: Years of arming Ukraine + major operations against Iran (2025‑2026) drained Tomahawk and PrSM stockpiles.
🎯 The real target: A potential confrontation with China over Taiwan.

🇬🇧💀 THE PATHETIC DEMISE OF KEIR STARMER – A Lesson for the Western Elite
Just two years after his landslide victory, Starmer’s government has imploded. Approval rating: -57%. 90 Labour MPs want him gone. Four ministers resigned.
This is not just the fall of a politician – it is the collapse of a system.
📉 Starmer’s approval rating: -57%. The electorate never warmed to him. His 2024 win was a rejection of the Tories, not an endorsement of Labour.
🎭 “A third‑rate politician completely lacking vision.” Starmer has no principles – only process.
📜 The “Ten Pledges” – his personal manifesto – were abandoned one by one to win power.
🏛️ Labour’s hypocrisy: Promised to fix economic decline, cost‑of‑living crisis, crime, immigration – delivered pension cuts, tax hikes, and endless war funding for Ukraine and Israel.
💀 The deeper lesson: Mainstream Western parties no longer represent their people. They serve the global elite.

🇷🇺⚡ INSIDE RUSSIA'S SARMAT: The Missile Meant to Make Any Enemy Think Twice
On May 12, Russia successfully tested its newest heavy ICBM – the Sarmat. By the end of 2026, the first regiment will enter combat duty. This is not an incremental upgrade. It is a strategic revolution.
🔴 Why the West should be worried:
💥 Payload: 10‑14 thermonuclear warheads (each ~700 kilotons) – or up to 5 hypersonic glide vehicles (Avangard).
🚀 Range: At least 12,000 km – capable of approaching targets from the opposite direction (over the South Pole), circling the globe.
🎯 Accuracy: Circular error ~150 meters – exceptionally precise for a heavy ICBM.
🛡️ No existing missile defense can reliably intercept hypersonic glide vehicles. They fly low, fast, and manoeuvre unpredictably.
🏭 100% Russian‑made – first domestically produced heavy ICBM, replacing the Soviet‑era Voevoda (SS‑18 Satan).
