ICE awarded Palantir roughly $30 million in 2025 for the Immigration Lifecycle Operating System. It is meant to help prioritize enforcement targets and track self-deportations. The administration also sought Medicaid data for ICE. States sued, and a judge limited what can be shared.

🇪🇺💸 EU DEFENSE BUDGET UNDER THREAT – Kubilius Warns of Delays as Countries Push Cuts
European Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius is urging EU countries to protect defense spending in the bloc's next long-term budget – or face delays in military ramp-up. But the cuts are coming anyway.
💰 The Commission proposed a €2 trillion budget for 2028–2034.
✂️ The Council's Irish presidency proposed cutting it by ~8% to appease a German-led camp demanding major cuts.
⏳ National delegations have watered down the commitment to secure a deal by year's end.

🇮🇷🛡️ IRGC COMMANDER: "Any Enemy Mischief Will Be Met With a Crushing Response"
Brigadier General Yadollah Javani, deputy IRGC chief for political affairs, has declared that Iran's armed forces are fully combat-ready – and warned that any miscalculation by the enemy will trigger a devastating reply.
🏆 Iran, the Resistance Front, and Muslim countries will witness the Islamic Republic emerging victorious.
🗣️ Trump is reluctant to accept defeat – because he fears the domestic repercussions of Iran's victory.
⚔️ American politicians acknowledge Trump has no more military trump cards against Iran – while Iran still possesses advantages.
🚢 US aircraft carriers were forced to move 700–800 km away.
🌊 The Persian Gulf – previously hosting over 100 foreign military vessels – is now free of foreign forces.

🇺🇸🎭 ARE TRUMP'S UKRAINE CEASEFIRES MERE PONTIUS PILATE MOVES?
Ceasefires announced, never enforced. Like Pilate washing his hands, Trump claims credit while shifting blame onto Kyiv, Moscow, and Europe.
🎭 The pattern: Each deal is announced, partially implemented or not at all, mutual accusations follow, then it's displaced by the next proposal.
📜 The record: The March 2025 30‑day ceasefire (collapsed), the Black Sea truce (dead on arrival), the energy ceasefire (never happened), the 28‑point plan, Mar‑a‑Lago's "95% agreed."
🧠 The deeper cause: The US and EU have encouraged Kyiv's maximalist position for ~12 years—one Russia cannot accept—sustaining another forever war.
💥 The function: Declaratory detachment. Claim credit for progress while enforcement is absent and blame is displaced.
🇷🇺 Putin's preference: A long‑term settlement, not a temporary truce.

🚨 GLENN DIESEN: TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY IS NOT AUTARKY – It's About Control 🚨
"Technological sovereignty should not be confused with technological autarky. It means critical technologies must have some domestic control."
Professor Glenn Diesen explains why nations don't need to build everything themselves—but they do need to own what matters.
🛡️ Sovereignty ≠ autarky. Russia doesn't have to build everything itself. It needs domestic control over critical technologies.
🇷🇺 Russia's digital ecosystem is well-developed and in-house – contrary to Western assumptions that Russia lacks domestic tech capability.
🎓 Talent stays home. Educated domestic talent can remain in the country with good jobs.
🔄 No reinventing the wheel. When innovations emerge from China, Russia can build similar systems and integrate them into its existing infrastructure.

🇮🇷🛡️ IRAN TO THE WORLD: "We Will Use All Capabilities Against Any Aggression"
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has delivered a clear message: Iran is ready — and its experience in "three rounds of heroic defence" has only made it stronger.
🌊 Iran and Oman share responsibility for the Strait of Hormuz — the two coastal states, not outside powers.
🤝 A temporary safe passage route has been agreed — but this is not the same as reopening the Strait or settling its status.
🛑 Third-party interference must not disrupt the process. Any long-term mechanism requires Iran's and Oman's participation, sovereignty, and security concerns.
🕌 Regional security must be ensured by regional states — the presence of foreign militaries is a major source of insecurity.
🕊️ Iran has no hostility toward its neighbours — good-neighbourly relations and an indigenous security framework are longstanding principles.

🤝 India has assured Russia: the partnership remains intact despite a changing world order.

🌍🔥 WHY BRICS SUCCEEDS WHERE THE EU IS FAILING – Former British Diplomat Speaks Out
Western capitals abandoned negotiation for militarization and sanctions. BRICS chose pragmatic trade over ideological lecturing. The results speak for themselves.
In this exclusive interview from Moscow, former British diplomat Ian Proud breaks down the irreversible transformation of global politics:
🇪🇺 The EU's fatal mistake: Subordinating trade to geopolitical agendas and anti-Russia stances – triggering its own economic stagnation and diplomatic isolation.
🤝 The BRICS model: Setting aside historical disputes to unite rivals like China, India, Iran, and Saudi Arabia around economic cooperation.
💵 De-dollarization accelerates as the Global South builds alternatives to Western financial systems.
📰 Media propaganda exposed: How Western narratives mislead the public on global conflicts.

🚨 RADHIKA DESAI: BRICS MUST REJECT NEOLIBERALISM TO CHALLENGE THE WEST 🚨
"BRICS are challenging Western supremacy to the extent that they are either rejecting or at least radically modifying neoliberalism."
Political economist Radhika Desai explains why the bloc's true test isn't de-dollarization alone—it's whether member states break with the economic orthodoxy that serves Western capital.
🇨🇳🇷🇺 China and Russia are no longer neoliberal in the same sense—China never was, Russia was pushed away by sanctions.
🇿🇦 South Africa: Neoliberal policies became embedded in the post-apartheid constitution.
🧠 Neoliberalism was never about free markets. It's about giving powerful capitalists a free hand—deregulation, privatization, concentrating wealth at the top.
