🇷🇺 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).

🇮🇳🇮🇷 JUST IN: India says it is ready to help establish security in the region amid rising tensions surrounding Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting in New Delhi.

During the talks,
Iran briefed India on the latest developments surrounding the US-Israeli war against Tehran and its regional consequences.

Modi responded by stressing the importance of stability,
security,
and preserving relations between India and Iran.

But one line stood out the most:

India says it is ready to help establish regional security.

As the Middle East faces growing instability,
major powers are quietly positioning themselves diplomatically.

India appears to be signaling that it wants a larger role in shaping the region’s future,
not just economically,
but strategically as well.

Behind the scenes,
new alignments continue to emerge across Eurasia and the Middle East.

🚨🇳🇬 JUST IN: Nigeria’s former power minister has been sentenced to 75 years in prison over a massive corruption scandal.

The EFCC says Saleh Mamman was found guilty of laundering 33.8 billion naira, around $24.6 million. He was sentenced in absentia by a federal court in Abuja.

Africa’s largest oil producer continues to suffer from collapsing power infrastructure,
crippling blackouts,
and an energy system unable to meet demand.

More than 40% of Nigerians still lack access to grid electricity.

Now,
a former minister responsible for the sector has been jailed over corruption tied to public funds.

Mamman is also the first minister from former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to receive a prison sentence for graft.

Several other senior officials from Buhari’s government are still facing corruption investigations and fraud trials.

A country rich in resources,but still trapped between corruption,collapsed infrastructure,
and broken public trust.

🇫🇷 JUST IN: A leaked campaign memo reportedly advised French politician Raphael Glucksmann to focus on wealthy older voters, and largely ignore poorer voters ahead of the 2027 election.

According to Politico,
the internal document suggested prioritizing affluent,
pro-European voters over 50,
including retirees and upper-middle-class professionals.

Meanwhile,younger voters,single parents,lower-income citizens, and residents of immigrant-heavy areas were reportedly seen as less valuable politically.

The reason?

Many of those groups are believed to lean toward left-wing rival Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Glucksmann’s team insists the document was only a “working paper.” But the leak is already fueling criticism that parts of Europe’s political elite are becoming increasingly disconnected from ordinary voters.

The controversy comes as France prepares for a major political transition after Emmanuel Macron,
who cannot run again in 2027.

🚨🇩🇪 JUST IN: Germany’s intelligence agency has reportedly classified some pro-Palestinian symbols — including the watermelon 🍉 and Handala — as signs of “secular extremism.”

A new BfV dossier links certain protest symbols and slogans, including “From the river to the sea,” to extremist activity.

The report also claims pro-Palestinian activism overlaps with anti-Israel and antisemitic narratives.

Critics say Germany is increasingly tightening restrictions on pro-Palestine protests since the Gaza war began.

Supporters argue it is necessary for national security and historical responsibility.

The debate highlights a growing clash in Europe over protest, free speech, and how extremism is defined.
