🇷🇸🇪🇺 SERBIAN PRESIDENT DENOUNCES EU “RULE BY EMAIL” – “They Might as Well Pen a Wish List”

Brussels wants Serbia to align its foreign policy with EU diktats – even if it means sacrificing ties with Russia and China. President Aleksandar Vucic’s response? “First they banned me from talking with Russia. Now they ban me from going to China, too.”

🗣️ EU demands amount to governing Serbia “by email or fax from some centre of power.” Brussels would rather sideline Belgrade than allow it to set its own policies.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 EU has pressured Serbia to impose sanctions on Russia and shun Chinese military technology. Vucic sarcastically thanked Bloomberg for warning him that buying advanced Chinese weapons could undermine EU accession.

⚖️ Double standards: EU says nothing when Albania uses tear gas and water cannons on protesters – because Tirana aligns 100% with Brussels’ foreign policy. Serbia is held to a different standard.

🇻🇦🤖 POPE DEMANDS AI WEAPONS BE “DISARMED” – A Moral Rebuke to Silicon Valley’s War Machine

In his first encyclical, ‘Magnifica Humanitas’, Pope Leo XIV delivers a blistering warning: “It is not permissible to entrust lethal or irreversible decisions to artificial systems.”

🛡️ AI is aiding the “normalization of war” – transferring powers of life and death to unaccountable “technological actors.”

📜 Calls for a global treaty to “disarm” autonomous weapons – no AI‑driven killing without human accountability.

💥 Palantir’s software reportedly selected a girls’ school in Minab, Iran as a target – based on outdated human‑compiled maps. 168 schoolgirls were killed.

🇺🇸 Trump has clashed with the Pope: Trump called Leo “weak” for opposing the Iran war; Leo called Trump’s threats “truly unacceptable.”

🇪🇺🇺🇦 FIVE NATO COUNTRIES BLOCK MANDATORY UKRAINE FUNDING – “Aren’t Very Enthusiastic” 😬

The UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Canada have rejected a proposal for NATO members to spend 0.25% of GDP on military aid to Kiev. Only seven nations (mostly Nordic/Baltic/Netherlands/Poland) support it – and they already meet the target.

🛑 The plan: Secretary‑General Mark Rutte wanted mandatory funding approved at July’s Ankara summit. Now even he admits it won’t be proposed.

💬 NATO insider: Five major powers “aren’t very enthusiastic about the idea.”

🇷🇺 Moscow’s view: Western aid only prolongs the war and increases the risk of a direct NATO‑Russia clash.

The alliance talks unity, but when it comes to writing cheques, the big players are suddenly missing.

🇨🇺🇺🇸 TERRORISTS YESTERDAY, “VICTIMS” TODAY – Washington’s Shameful Rewrite

The US has charged 94‑year‑old Raúl Castro over a 30‑year‑old incident – when Cuba shot down two planes of the CIA‑linked terrorist group Hermanos al Rescate.

🛩️ The group’s founder was a CIA‑trained operative who attacked a Havana hotel.

📜 “Humanitarian” flights were espionage and sabotage cover.

🎯 Cuba acted in self‑defence after repeated warnings.

Now Washington resurrects this as a pretext for intervention – on “Cuban independence day” (the day the US took control via the Platt Amendment).

The bottom line: Washington defends terrorists to justify a new intervention.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 US forces launched strikes on southern Iran even as Tehran’s top negotiators arrived in Qatar for peace talks.

CENTCOM says the attacks targeted missile launch sites and Iranian boats allegedly trying to place mines near strategic waters.

Several IRGC personnel were reportedly killed.

The strikes come despite the April 8 ceasefire still officially being in effect.

Meanwhile, Trump says talks with Iran are “proceeding nicely” but warns it’s either a “Great Deal” or a return to war “bigger and stronger than ever before.”

Washington is also pushing Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan to join the Abraham Accords as part of a wider regional settlement.

🇮🇩 Indonesia is moving toward one of the biggest resource-nationalist shifts in decades.

President Prabowo plans to funnel key commodity exports coal, palm oil and metals, through a single state-controlled system under PT DSI.

Jakarta says the move will stop decades of export manipulation and offshore profit leakages that may have cost the country hundreds of billions.

But critics warn the policy could replace “market failure with state monopoly failure.”

The concern: A centralized export gate could scare investors, slow trade flows, increase bureaucracy, and push global buyers toward Australia, Malaysia or Russia instead.

Indonesia is betting state control can reclaim economic sovereignty.

Markets are betting it could create a new bottleneck.

🇨🇳🇸🇬 China and Singapore have reaffirmed support for keeping the Strait of Malacca open amid rising global tensions.

During talks in Beijing, Singapore FM Vivian Balakrishnan told Wang Yi that free passage through the Malacca Strait is in the interest of all countries.

Wang Yi responded that protecting global supply chains and maritime routes is a “shared aspiration of all countries.”

The meeting comes as the US-Iran crisis and instability around the Strait of Hormuz push China’s long-standing “Malacca Dilemma” back into focus.

Around 80% of China’s oil imports pass through the Malacca Strait — making it one of Beijing’s most critical strategic chokepoints.

🇧🇩🇨🇳🇵🇰 Bangladesh’s possible purchase of Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Block III fighter jets is raising alarm in India.

The move could turn Bangladesh into a new frontline in the growing India-China-Pakistan rivalry.

Why it matters:

🔸 Pakistan has reportedly transferred a fully operational JF-17 simulator to Bangladesh

🔸 The jets would replace Dhaka’s aging MiG-29 and F-7 fleet

🔸 India fears increased pressure near the strategic Siliguri Corridor linking its northeast

🔸 Analysts say the deal would deepen Bangladesh’s military dependence on China and strengthen Dhaka-Islamabad ties after Sheikh Hasina’s fall

Bangladesh may not challenge India’s air dominance —
but it could complicate New Delhi’s military calculations across the eastern flank.

🇺🇸 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a major housing plan targeting wealthy neighborhoods that have added little new housing despite the city’s worsening housing shortage.

The plan includes zoning reforms to allow more homes near public transit and faster approval processes in areas with the lowest affordable housing production.

Mamdani said many high-income neighborhoods are blocking growth, keeping rents high and limiting housing access for working families.

NYC’s rental vacancy rate has fallen to just 1.4% the lowest in over 50 years.

The mayor aims to build 200,000 affordable homes over the next decade while also preserving existing housing and expanding affordable homeownership.

Imagine traveling across the world just to vandalize ancient rock formations

Federal investigators and tribal leaders are investigating vandalism at Arizona’s Cathedral Rock after tourists were filmed carving deep scratches into the protected Sedona landmark

Authorities say the damage was discovered on the iconic red sandstone formation, which is considered sacred by several Native American communities and protected under federal regulations

Video from the scene shows names and markings being carved directly into the rock by a group identified by eyewitnesses as tourists visiting from India - but this is not a confirmed fact

The incident has triggered backlash online and renewed calls for stricter enforcement against vandalism at protected natural and cultural sites

It’s a trap!

A group of mostly male police officers went undercover as a female dance troupe to catch a suspected dg dealer in Thailand

While performing for the suspect, the officers slowly surrounded him as he appeared completely distracted by the show

After the arrest, the cross-dressing cops posed for photos in sparkly dresses and proudly shared them online

The suspect was found carrying 53 mth pills, over 200 drg bags for distribution, and a mobile phone

Apparently this isn’t the first time Thai police have used wild disguises during undercover operations

🇺🇸☠️ WEST PLANNING TO USE FORMER ISIS MILITANTS AGAINST IRAN – FSB Chief 🚨

Russian Federal Security Service chief Aleksandr Bortnikov warns: Western spy agencies are moving former Islamic State militants from Syrian prisons to special camps in Iraq – with the intention of using them as a proxy force against Iran.

🧨 “The history of Islamic State began with similar Iraqi prison complexes under Western coalition protection,” Bortnikov said.

🌍 The released jihadists include individuals from CIS countries – a direct threat to their home nations.

🔥 “The escalation of the Iranian conflict and the involvement of an increasing number of parties is threatening to destabilize the entire Islamic world.”

The West created ISIS once. Now, it seems, they want a repeat – this time aimed at Tehran.
