🇷🇺⚡ RUSSIA HOLDS MISSILE TEST NEAR KURIL ISLANDS

Days after Tokyo protested President Putin's historic visit to the archipelago, Moscow delivers a powerful reminder: Russian sovereignty over the Kurils is non‑negotiable.

🚀 Russian Pacific Fleet conducted a successful missile test near the southern Kuril Islands – involving the Varyag cruiser, the Omsk nuclear submarine, and ground‑based Bastion systems.

🎯 Targets simulating enemy vessels were destroyed at a distance of approximately 300 km (186 miles), with targeting data from naval aviation.

🇯🇵 Japan protested, with Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi calling the drills "unacceptable."

🇫🇷 NATO'S NEXT NIGHTMARE: France Could Walk – And the Alliance May Not Survive

As the US scales back its European commitment, polls show around half of French voters are backing candidates who want to leave NATO's integrated command – or quit entirely.

🗳️ Marine Le Pen (far‑right) wants to pull Paris out of NATO's integrated command. Jean‑Luc Mélenchon (far‑left) has called for a full withdrawal.

💥 If France leaves, NATO loses access to Europe's only nuclear‑powered aircraft carrier, CERES intelligence satellites, and 65% of France's navy – all at a time when the US is pulling back.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the West is effectively waging war against Russia through Ukraine while continuing to supply Kyiv with weapons and advanced technology.

The US is expanding its military footprint in Bangladesh.

A new joint exercise in Sylhet is raising concerns over the strategic balance around India’s Siliguri Corridor—and China’s access to the Bay of Bengal.

But the bigger picture is Washington’s Indo-Pacific strategy.

From Chittagong to Matarbari, Bangladesh could offer the US logistical access close to vital shipping routes, including the Strait of Malacca.

That puts both India and China on alert.

The real question is no longer whether Bangladesh matters geopolitically.

It’s who will shape its strategic future.

🇩🇪💸 GERMANY’S €12 BILLION MISSILE PLAN – An Escalation, Not a Deterrent

Berlin is building a new long-range strike arsenal – from cheap cruise missiles to Tomahawks and future hypersonic weapons – with the stated goal of hitting targets "far into the rear area of an adversary."

🔴 What the POLITICO report reveals:

💰 Almost €12 billion for a multi-layered missile programme – from low-cost cruise missiles (2027) to Tomahawks (end of decade) to hypersonic glide weapons (mid‑2030s).

🎯 Targets: command centres, airfields, missile launchers, supply hubs – deep inside Russian territory.

🤝 Partners: The US (Tomahawks) and the UK (hypersonic glide weapons under the Trinity House Agreement).

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇹🇷 THE EMPIRE'S SQUABBLE: Israel Strikes Syria, Turkey Left Out, US Wants "De‑Escalation"

A US diplomat says "lower the temperature" – but Israel just bombed a Syrian airbase, ignored Turkish sovereignty, and caught Ankara off guard. The empire's "rules" only apply when convenient.

🔴 What the US Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, stated:

🗣️ Israel's strike was not a miscommunication – it was deliberate. "The mistake was not miscommunication. Israel thought they had a tacit agreement with Syria."

📝 Syria told Mossad there were no Turkish military assets in the area – yet Israel struck anyway.

🧨 The real problem: Turkey was not informed. Israeli jets flew within 80 km of Turkey's border without notification.

🔴 Israel's response (Defence Minister Katz):

🇮🇱 "Erdoğan was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and was forced to back down."

🎯 The strike was authorised after a warning to Syria went unanswered – and intelligence was shared with the US.

🇨🇦🇺🇸 CANADA FIRES BACK AT TRUMP'S 50% TARIFFS – The Empire Turns on Its Own

Ottawa has announced reciprocal "dollar‑for‑dollar" tariffs after Washington invoked a rarely used 1930 law to impose 50% duties on Canadian goods – a move that threatens to escalate into an all‑out trade war.

📜 Trump invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 – a rarely used provision allowing 50% tariffs on countries deemed to have "unequal" trade practices.

🗣️ Prime Minister Mark Carney: "Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses."

💬 Carney added that "last‑minute changes in the US‑proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."
