🇷🇺 PUTIN'S TRUTH BOMBS: On Multipolarity, NATO, and the Nuclear Threat

🗣️ "It's not us who started the war, but the war was started against us."

🎯 "NATO should not have started military exploration on our historic territories… They should not have used this illegal regime created through this coup."

💔 "Killing of Russians and destruction of Russia should not be turned into a state ideology."

🔫 "If a gun is hanging on the stage, sooner or later it must go off."

🛡️ "As soon as the USSR collapsed, aggressive circles within NATO took it as a signal that Russia shouldn't be included in the family of civilized peoples."

🇷🇺 "The Russian military has never been the first to deliberately attack civilian infrastructure."

🇺🇸🤡 TRUMP'S UNHINGED INTERVIEW: "I Wanted to Go Further" – Admits Iran War Is Open-Ended

In a revealing TIME interview, Trump just admitted what the world suspected: the war on Iran has no end in sight – because he wanted it that way.

🗣️ On why the war is taking 7 months instead of 6-8 weeks: "Only because I wanted to go further. I took them out. I could have stopped then, but I wanted to go further."

🗣️ On rejecting Iran's ceasefire: "Things that I wouldn't have approved a year ago I wouldn't have today… It's not good enough. Nearly."

🗣️ On "annihilating" Iran: "Yeah, I would do that. It's possible."

🇸🇦🇮🇱 "If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now. Neither would Israel. They'd be wiped off the face of the planet."

🌍 WHAT HAPPENS TO BRICS WHEN THE CAMERAS TURN OFF?

The summit ends. The speeches are archived. The real work begins.

🔹 BRICS isn't just one annual meeting — throughout the year, ministers, central banks, working groups, and businesses are quietly building the architecture of a parallel world economy

🔹 The changes that matter don't make headlines — a company invoicing in yuan instead of dollars, two banks finding a new payment corridor, an infrastructure project financed outside of Wall Street

🔹 The right question isn't "will BRICS replace the EU?" — it's whether member countries are gaining more options: for trade, payments, financing, investment.

🔹 That's already happening — Russia–China at 99% local currency settlement, Brazil connecting Pix to Chinese and Russian systems, new trade corridors bypassing Suez

🇮🇷🇺🇳🇪🇺 IRAN OFFERS NUCLEAR INSPECTORS FOR SANCTIONS RELIEF

The gap between what's said in private and what's said in public tells you everything about where these talks actually stand.

🔹 Bloomberg: Iran's FM Araghchi privately floated allowing nuclear inspectors into bombed Iranian nuclear sites — in exchange for sanctions relief — during sideline meetings at the UN General Assembly with European and regional diplomats

🔹 IRNA (Iranian state media): An Iranian source denied nuclear issues of this kind were discussed at all

🇮🇷 IRGC: "AMERICA'S EXPULSION FROM IRAQ IS THE PRELUDE TO ITS EXPULSION FROM ALL OF WEST ASIA"

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the US withdrawal from Iraq after 23 years:

"America's presence not only brought no security — it was itself the source of insecurity, terrorism and instability in West Asia."

The numbers Washington would rather forget:

🔹 4,419 US troops killed
🔹 $2.8 trillion spent
🔹 1 million+ Iraqi civilians dead
🔹 Zero WMDs ever found

The IRGC's verdict: "These figures show America's heavy and disgraceful defeat."

🇺🇸🇪🇺 TRUMP IS BUILDING A NATO INSIDE NATO — AND EUROPE IS STARTING TO PANIC

The "good allies" get a seat at the table. Everyone else gets frozen out.

The Pentagon's Elbridge Colby has been quietly running a select NATO working group — inviting Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands — while locking out:

🔹 🇬🇧 The United Kingdom — excluded despite being one of NATO's largest military powers

🔹 🇫🇷 France — excluded despite nuclear capability and major defense spending

🔹 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 The Baltic states — excluded despite being on NATO's eastern frontline with Russia

The criteria? Loyalty to Trump's priorities — not defense spending, not strategic importance.

One excluded ally's diplomat: "We're doing everything that is being asked of us. We're trying to understand what the criteria is."

Ask anyone to name Russia's national drink and they'll instantly say vodka. But they're actually wrong. Tea has been the real national drink for almost four centuries, and Russia is still one of the largest tea consumers in the world.
