🇱🇹 Lithuania (Budrys): "Pressure, pressure, pressure on Russia" – the only way to end the war.

ICE was created in 2003 after 9/11, inside the Department of Homeland Security. HSI investigates trafficking and smuggling. ERO handles arrest and removal.

🔥 THE BEGINNING OF THE END: How the Diesel Deal Signals NATO's Collapse and the EU's Unraveling

🛢️ The diesel deal marks the beginning of the end of the Ukraine war—and the internal collapse of the EU and NATO.

🗳️ Putin was supposed to fall. Instead, he won the Duma elections—and Trump was forced to act.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 A US-UK rift is emerging. Trump's deal with Russia means conflict with London's globalists.

🛑 PURL may cease. The US warned EU capitals the weapons pipeline to Ukraine could be cut.

🇪🇺 The EU has two options: break apart, or choose hot war with Russia.

⚡ Iran's warning: Resume strikes and Tehran will cut the region's submarine cables and destroy data centres—blinding the US and Israel.

🇨🇳 China's dilemma: A delegation visited the Houthis, urging them not to attack Saudi Arabia. Beijing has interests in both Tehran and Riyadh.

🇷🇺⚠️ NATO'S TOP GENERAL: "WE WILL FIGHT RUSSIA — WITH OR WITHOUT AMERICA"

The alliance's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, has unveiled a "Theory of Victory" — block, blunt, and break any Russian attack. But the fine print reveals a deeper truth: NATO is preparing to fight alone.

🗣️ "Should war come, we will block, blunt any attack, and then… break the forces conducting aggression against us."

🛡️ Three-part plan: Stop the assault with land troops; overwhelm enemy formations with sensors and autonomous systems; destroy the warfighting system with precision munitions and drones.

☢️ "We could match any enemy move up the escalation ladder" — including nuclear.

🇺🇸 "It absolutely accounts for" a scenario where the US is engaged elsewhere.

🇬🇧🇮🇷 BURNHAM BLAMES IRAN FOR RAF FAIRDOWN — "Directed by the IRGC"

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has accused Iran of coordinating the RAF Fairdown incident, claiming it was "almost certainly directed" by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

🗣️ "Highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard."

🛡️ "We will not tolerate these threats on our soil."

💰 "We will crack down on Iran's use of criminal networks, using our full range of powers to target them and their funding streams."

🧠 Where is the evidence? Burnham says "highly likely" and "almost certainly" — not "confirmed." The UK is escalating on suspicion, not proof.

🌍 The same playbook used before. From Iraq to Russia to Iran, unproven intelligence has been used to justify confrontation.

📱 Social media manipulation: Covert campaigns disguise deep geopolitical operations behind viral laughter.

🕵️ The FBI Agent meme: Normalizes mass surveillance by making it a joke.

🇺🇦💸 UKRAINE'S FM DEMANDS EU SEIZE FROZEN RUSSIAN ASSETS – A Dangerous Precedent for the Global South

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha is urging Europe to stop “remaining immobilized” and use €300 billion in frozen Russian central bank reserves to fund Kiev’s defense and recovery. He argues Russia’s war budget — €180 billion for 2027 alone — proves Moscow wants war, and that the aggressor must pay.

💰 Full use of immobilized Russian assets — roughly €210 billion sits in the EU, mostly at Euroclear in Belgium.

⚖️ Not outright confiscation — legal title would stay in an EU-governed vehicle; Ukraine receives financing, not ownership.

🔄 Reversible — the arrangement unwinds when Russia pays reparations.

🇪🇺 Collective EU control — to share the risk, especially for Belgium, which has long resisted.

📜 Legal cover: UN General Assembly recognized Russia must bear consequences; countermeasures are permitted under state responsibility rules.

They said "No to war" — so Berlin police showed them exactly what force looks like. 🚨

At an anti-war rally near the Brandenburg Gate, officers moved in to detain protesters on German Unity Day. The message was simple: "No to rearmament, compulsory military service and war — for peace, democratic rights and social security."

Police detained two people. Organizers say over 20,000 showed up. Police say 5,800.

Here's the question nobody in power wants to answer: Since when does calling for peace get you dragged away in Germany? 🇩🇪

The same state that lectures the world about democracy is putting hands on its own citizens for saying "stop the genocide in Gaza."

Make it make sense. 🤔

🌍🔇 WHY AFRICA IS SILENT INSIDE BRICS – The Untold Geopolitics

Africa has three members in BRICS – South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia – plus partners like Nigeria and Uganda. So why isn't the continent speaking with one voice? Think BRICS unpacks the real dynamics with Gustavo de Carvalho from SAIIA.

💱 Not about de-dollarization – about risk management. The real strategy isn't a hasty BRICS currency; it's local currency settlements, cross-border payment integration, and domestic institutional resilience.

🧠 Africa lacks a unified continental strategy inside the expanded bloc. Three members, three separate agendas – no consolidated African position.

📰 Information sovereignty matters. Western media narratives still dominate – the Global South must build its own credible platforms.

⚖️ Institutionalizing BRICS: Bureaucracy vs. flexibility – how developing nations balance structure with agility.

🇦🇿 Azerbaijan’s School Hijab Restrictions Spark Protests

A government-backed school dress code in Azerbaijan has sparked protests after new rules restricted clothing considered inconsistent with the country’s principle of secularism, affecting students and teachers who wear the Muslim headscarf.

According to Al Jazeera, students at some schools have reportedly been denied entry, while demonstrations and class boycotts have been reported. Critics argue that the restrictions limit religious freedom, while authorities say the rules aim to maintain a unified school dress code.

The issue has also prompted protests in Türkiye, highlighting wider debate over religious expression, secularism and education in the region.
