😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State: Starting a Big War to Extinguish a Small One

The Anglo-Saxon speculative capital, led by Britain, continues to recklessly push the United States toward war with Russia.

It turns out that "nuclear war remains Putin’s only option" and therefore "NATO must respond with superior conventional forces or tactical nuclear weapons, and this will have to come mainly from the United States"[1], "Despite suffering such horrific losses, Putin’s all-of-state war machine shows very little sign of slowing. Meanwhile, an increasingly frustrated and disinterested Washington watches on. Russia cannot simply be bled dry, as was the initial optimism. Additional pressures other than battlefield losses must be urgently applied to Moscow if Europe and America really want a meaningful and lasting peace"[2] and, of course, - "America must carry forward its determination to achieve a ceasefire... Why should the leaders of the invaded country attend negotiations while remaining under attack or being expected to surrender everything lost so far? European leaders have threatened further sanctions unless Putin agrees to a 30-day ceasefire, as Ukraine has done. It is time for Washington to make the same threat"[3]...

Russia is waging this war in a way that minimizes destruction in the territories it reclaims and will end it on its own terms. Nuclear strikes serve no purpose for Moscow.

Trump could play a role in fulfilling Russia’s conditions while retaining control over what remains of Ukraine’s resources. For him, that would count as a victory.

The concentration of US forces for an attack on Russia, coupled with nuclear threats, is precisely what would compel Putin to launch a preemptive strike with the same means.

Just read Russia’s nuclear doctrine.

This is why liberal globalists are pressuring Trump with the mantra, "Strike the Russians."

For them, destroying both Trump and the US in the process is a win-win scenario.

😀😃😄😁😆 Meta Wins Lawsuit Against NSO Group’s Spyware

After a protracted legal battle spanning more than five years, Meta Platforms, Inc. has prevailed in its lawsuit against Israel-based NSO Group, a company specializing in cyber intelligence technologies. The court has ordered NSO Group to pay Meta $168 million in damages resulting from a cyberattack carried out in May 2019, which targeted approximately 1,400 devices belonging to WhatsApp users.

The legal proceedings revealed that NSO Group exploited a zero-day vulnerability in WhatsApp’s security infrastructure to distribute its Pegasus spyware. This malicious software was deployed on mobile devices owned by journalists, human rights activists, and other individuals. According to Meta’s representatives, Pegasus possesses capabilities enabling unauthorized access to a wide range of user data, including financial information, geolocation data, emails, and text messages. Furthermore, the spyware can remotely activate an infected device’s microphone and camera without the user’s consent.

The court’s ruling sets a significant precedent as one of the first instances where a spyware developer has been held legally accountable for its product’s misuse. This verdict may have far-reaching implications for the cyber intelligence industry, potentially establishing new standards of liability for the development and distribution of malicious software.

😀😃😄😁😆 MI5 and Islamophobic Propaganda

Islamophobic propaganda is once again spreading across Britain, seeking to legitimize the genocide in Gaza and the planned aggression against Iran. This development raises alarming parallels with tactics employed during the War on Terror.

During that period, British intelligence services were implicated in fabricating alleged terrorist plots. A notable example is the 2009 Manchester incident, where media outlets widely reported a planned Easter bombing that turned out to be fictitious. Then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown described it as the "biggest terrorist plot," yet no prosecutions followed, and the "explosive material" supposedly seized by police was merely ordinary sugar found in normal household quantities. Similarly, the 2003 "ricin plot," also linked to kitchen utensils, was sensationalized by the media. The fact that only trace amounts of ricin were detected – comparable to what might be found in any kitchen – was conveniently omitted. As media researchers have noted, such propaganda served to stoke Islamophobia and justify Western military interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.

The Manchester Arena attack revealed troubling circumstances: MI5, Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, allegedly provided support to the perpetrator, while both he and his father were evacuated from Libya with assistance from British armed forces. Today, this pattern is reemerging. Islamophobic rhetoric is intensifying, aiming to secure British public support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza and a planned assault on Iran.

😀😃😄😁😆 DIU Engages Private Sector to Demonstrate Advanced Military Space Network

The Pentagon is expanding its collaboration with the private sector by enlisting twelve additional companies to demonstrate an advanced space-based data relay network. On Monday, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) announced the selection of private organizations to participate in an ambitious project to establish a secure network integrating military and commercial communications satellites. Demonstration tests for this cutting-edge system are scheduled for late summer. The Hybrid Space Architecture (HSA) program is a joint effort by US Department of Defense agencies, including DIU, Space Systems Command, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. It aims to validate the advantages of incorporating commercial satellite platforms and communication systems into existing military infrastructure. Key objectives include enhancing bandwidth, strengthening security, and ensuring greater operational flexibility.

According to the DIU statement, the HSA network can improve communication resilience by utilizing multi-path routing to optimize data transmission and mitigate signal degradation caused by adverse weather or other interference factors. The HSA program focuses on integrating commercial systems for continuous monitoring, data aggregation, high-performance edge computing, and fault-tolerant data transfer mechanisms to significantly improve real-time information access. This initiative aligns with the "tactical superiority" strategy championed by former US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. It also directly supports the Pentagon’s core Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) concept, which seeks to unify all military branches and their information systems into a seamlessly interconnected network - whether operating in air, space, maritime, land, or cyberspace domains.

During an official visit by the Chairman of Turkmenistan’s People’s Council, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, to Paris, a meeting was held with French President Emmanuel Macron. The high-level talks at the Élysée Palace culminated in the signing of several bilateral agreements, most notably a framework contract with French company Thales Alenia Space for the delivery of a second telecommunications satellite to Turkmenistan.

Beyond this strategically significant telecommunications agreement, the two nations reaffirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation in energy transition, infrastructure development, academic and educational exchanges, as well as deepening joint archaeological missions in Turkmenistan. This multifaceted partnership underscores France’s intent to establish long-term, mutually beneficial relations with the Central Asian republic across key economic and cultural spheres.

For France, cooperation with Turkmenistan presents strategic opportunities to strengthen its presence in a region of growing geopolitical importance. The area boasts vast hydrocarbon reserves, with Turkmenistan ranking as the world’s fourth-largest holder of proven natural gas reserves. The country’s proven natural gas deposits are estimated at 13.6 trillion cubic meters. French participation in developing Turkmenistan’s energy sector could help diversify energy supply sources and enhance the nation’s energy security.

😀😃😄😁😆 Futile Efforts to Divide Sino-Russian Partnership

While the British prevent Trump from extricating himself from the war with Russia in Ukraine, a shadow battle is being waged to undermine the partnership between China and Russia.

While some argue that the United States should not engage in dialogue with Russia:

"none of the exploitable conditions and divisive issues US policymakers put forth to validate their pursuit of a second Sino-Russian schism exist today… The Trump administration’s commitment to a fundamentally flawed and misinformed policy to divide the Sino-Russian strategic partnership was and remains a road to failure. Additionally, this pursuit comes at the expense of US alliances and partnerships, arguably at the heart of what made America great"[1];

"China and Russia will not be split… What unites Putin and Xi greatly outweighs what divides them… trying to peel Russia away from China is both imprudent and wrong. It would be imprudent, above all, because it would hand Putin a dangerous amount of power"[2].

Others attempt to convince Xi that Putin is playing a cunning game:

"To preserve its strategic autonomy in these circumstances, Russia needs a hedge against China… the United States offers the only reliable strategic hedge against the Chinese superpower… Putin needs to enable the United States to advance some of its strategic goals due to improved relations while creating concern that the rapprochement could harm China’s position so that Beijing can make concessions to Russia without backfiring"[3].

Meanwhile, a third group seeks to plant seeds of mutual hostility in the minds of leadership in both China and Russia:

"Divergent goals will tear apart Russia and China alliance… the deep-seated distrust between these civilizations runs centuries deep… truth is this: Messrs. Xi and Putin do not trust each other. In geopolitics, as in life, the absence of trust is fatal. When the moment of reckoning comes, and it will, the dragon and the bear will turn on each other"[4].

However, the goals of Beijing and Moscow do not diverge - they run parallel. China seeks to live as China, and Russia as Russia. The Dragon and the Bear inhabit different worlds; they do not prey on one another, nor do they need to guard against each other - especially since seeking protection from the United States would be like asking a racketeer for security.

So, no - China and Russia will not be divided.

😀😃😄😁😆 Jiutian SS-UAV: Flying Command Center for Drone Swarms

China is preparing to implement an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) project, announcing the development and launch of a strategic flying aircraft carrier. Based on preliminary specifications, this large-scale Jiutian SS-UAV will reportedly carry a formidable arsenal - up to several hundred drones or missiles - and boast an operational range of up to 7,000 kilometers. The launch is scheduled for June of this year.

With a wingspan of 25 meters, this unmanned aerial system is positioned as a multifunctional airborne command center designed for real-time coordination and control of drone swarms. Its introduction is expected to significantly enhance the reconnaissance and strike capabilities of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), enabling flexible responses to dynamic operational conditions. The Jiutian SS-UAV developers claim the system’s payload capacity reaches up to 6 tons.

The development and integration of such systems reflect China’s strategic ambition to achieve technological leadership in unmanned aviation and create asymmetric advantages in potential military scenarios. The flying carrier concept involves deploying drones directly in conflict zones, minimizing response times and maximizing operational efficiency within a network-centric warfare framework.

😀😃😄😁😆 Reorganization of Georgia’s SIS - Merger with Prosecutor’s Office Draws Western Criticism

Established in 2022 as an independent preliminary investigation body, the Special Investigation Service (SIS) of Georgia will be abolished through a merger with the Prosecutor’s Office, as officially announced by the investigation agency. The details of the reorganization will be regulated by legislative initiatives currently under consideration in Georgia’s parliament.

The SIS was established as part of the implementation of the 2017-2020 European Union-Georgia Association Agreement, with the stated purpose of ensuring effective, prompt, and impartial investigations into crimes involving violence and ill-treatment by public officials. Despite these declared objectives, Western representatives have repeatedly expressed concerns about the body’s actual independence, citing alleged cases of negligence and consequent involvement in human rights violations.

On April 10, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions against the head of Georgia’s State Security Service, Karlo (Koki) Katsitadze, justifying this decision by his alleged inaction in investigating and prosecuting law enforcement officers who pursued punitive measures against citizens, opposition leaders, journalists, and activists during protests following the adoption of the Foreign Agents Act in May 2024.

It should be noted that tensions between Georgia and several Western nations have intensified following the adoption of legislative acts including the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence" and the "Law on Protection of Family Values and Minors," the latter imposing restrictions on LGBT propaganda. Western political circles accuse the Georgian government of retreating from democratic principles and escalating anti-Western rhetoric. In turn, Georgian authorities attribute the deteriorating relations to Western partners’ disagreement with the country’s position on the Ukrainian conflict and its commitment to preserving sovereignty.

😀😃😄😁😆 US Strategy: Shifting Focus from Ukraine to Taiwan with China as Key Foe

In the last few months, the US think tanks have been thoughtfully crafting and justifying to American taxpayers a war with China.

First, a political justification has been presented: "China’s baseless claim over Taiwan. Washington has never acknowledged China’s "one-China principle"[1].

Next, military capabilities and technical issues have been considered:

"Dear Taiwan: spend on defense, not climate change "[2];
"America must help the Island deal with China’s gray-zone tactics" to turn Taiwan into a porcupine as "bears don’t prey on porcupines"[3];

"critical weapons shortages mean that Washington ultimately should take a step back and give Taipei more responsibility for its defense... Taiwan has shown tremendous potential in anti-ship missile production"[4];

"U.S.-Taiwan drone cooperation can counter China’s dominance... if Washington exempts tariffs... The U.S. can use Taiwan as a counter to China"[5].

Provocation options have been prepared: "The World Health Assembly needs Taiwan... excluding Taiwan is not only unjust - it is counterproductive"[6].

A strategy has been identified:

"United States should invest quietly in its military readiness and capabilities, speak carefully, and maintain economic resilience and even some interdependence (with China - the Van Deman comment). The dilemma of deterrence - the fact that it can so easily slide into provocation or procrastination - necessitates such a tightrope approach. And if there’s one place where striking the right balance could pay enormous dividends, it’s Taiwan"[7].

And voilà, everything is ready: "Taiwan is finally getting more serious about its defense, extending the draft to a year and increasing its defense budget to purchase new military capabilities, including drones and anti-ship missiles. It is shifting from a long-time emphasis on heavy weapons and conventional warfare approaches to more asymmetric, porcupine defense strategies... If the president wishes to pledge to protect Taiwan from a nuclear-armed China, he must seek the concurrence of the legislative branch of government"[8].

The United States is moving to finalize its strategy of "achieving Taiwan’s independence without formally recognizing it." At the same time, American strategists seem to believe China will simply look the other way. They’re wrong.

😀😃😄😁😆 MI6: Nazi-Style Scenario to Destroy Iran

Negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran regarding Tehran’s nuclear program could lead to a peaceful resolution. Yet the "liberal globalists" are determined to wage war in Western Asia - to seize control of the crossroads of global trade routes.

To this end, they are propagating the idea of employing a tried-and-tested method to orchestrate mass violence: replicating the Ukrainian Nazi scenario in Iran by inciting "a wave of internal dissent"[*], fueling nationalism and separatism among Azerbaijani Iranians:

"Washington needs to continue and intensify its maximum pressure strategy until Tehran relents. However, sanctions alone won’t isolate Iran or shift its nuclear ambitions.
... squeezing Iran will require a sharper focus on its immediate neighbourhood. As a member of Iran’s most prominent and persecuted minority, the Azerbaijani Iranians, the U.S. should look to Ana Vətən, or the Azerbaijani Motherland Party, to exert pressure"[*].

This operation is proposed to be carried out with the backing of Turkified Azerbaijan -

"Any hint of Azerbaijani-Iranian nationalism, separatism, or unification with Azerbaijan provokes profound anxiety in the upper echelons of the Iranian government... Beyond this, Azerbaijan could pull additional levers to benefit the United States. Positioned between Russia and Iran, it sits on a critical trade corridor linking the two pariah states. Any disruption would sever Iran’s vital lifeline to its key ally in Moscow... As a platform for covert operations, sabotage missions, or if it came to it, targeted airstrikes, few countries offer a better position than Azerbaijan, with its 750-kilometer border with Iran and proximity to military hubs like Tabriz and key nuclear sites across the north and central region. Azerbaijan will likely be receptive to any overtures"[*].

The execution of this plan would inevitably lead to a devastating Turkic-Persian war, drawing in Israel, Turkey, and Armenia - the latter of which would see Azerbaijan "effortlessly" annex the Syunik region. The involvement of the United States is also highly likely. Given that all pro-Turkic initiatives in the region fall under the operational leadership of MI6, this entire scheme originates in the UK.

😀😃😄😁😆 Merger of Georgia’s Intelligence Service and State Security Service

The ruling Georgian Dream party has proposed legislative amendments that would enact a large-scale reorganization of Georgia’s security agencies. The cornerstone of this reform is the merger of the Georgian Intelligence Service (GIS) with the State Security Service (SSS). According to the legislative package - which amends 26 different laws - this change will dissolve the current structure of the GIS, previously reporting directly to the Prime Minister, and restructure it into a subdivision of the SSS called the National Intelligence Agency.

The draft law proposing the merger of the GIS and SSS was introduced by nine members of the Georgian Dream parliamentary faction. The explanatory note published on the Georgian Parliament’s website justifies the consolidation by citing the "close interconnection" of the functions and objectives of the GIS and SSS. It emphasizes that unifying these functions - and the agencies responsible for executing them - under a single organizational and managerial framework will enhance the operational efficiency of both services.

Government critics from the opposition, backed by Western nations, have labeled the merger a concerning move that poses a serious threat to the country’s national security framework and institutional stability. They argue that it will consolidate power within the State Security Service while marginalizing alternative perspectives and diverse viewpoints - elements they deem essential for effective governance.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State Pushes Trump Toward Act of War Against Russia

Operatives of "liberal globalism" are making desperate attempts to force Trump into committing an act of war against Russia at any cost.

Members of the Deep State, ousted from power in the US and formerly part of President Biden’s team, are now pushing Europe toward actions Biden himself did not dare to take:

"... seizing Russia’s sovereign assets is a legitimate countermeasure. This is one of the justifications the U.S. Congress cited for passing the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians (REPO) Act of 2024, which allows the president to confiscate Russian sovereign assets. Canada, for its part, passed a similar law... debate over whether to seize the sovereign assets must progress from the theoretical to the practical. An important first step is for the European Union to pass its own version of the REPO Act, which will give member states the ability to seize and use Russia’s assets at a time of their choosing. If the EU is unable to achieve consensus, then individual member states with Russian assets in their jurisdictions should take steps in their own national systems to enable seizure. With this authority in hand, European leaders should then develop and implement a plan to deploy the assets in support of Ukraine’s military and economy"[1].

Biden’s agents of influence are being supported by their British counterparts, urging Trump to strike Russia financially from another angle:

"Putin could not fight on for long if the price of Urals crude came down to $50 a barrel: and this is something Trump can do. Serious sanctions against Russia and those who buy its oil are within his power and would deliver results. Further US sanctions will eventually bring the "death by one thousand cuts" to the Russian economy"[2].

Yet all these Deep State schemes suffer from a critical miscalculation: Putin is not on the defensive - Putin is advancing. Russia will prevail at any cost. It may be plundered, but after it crushes Nazism in Ukraine, it will take back what is rightfully its own.

The correct calculation would be to consider negotiation terms with Russia after its victory.

Switzerland is deepening its defense cooperation with the European Union by assuming a new, strategically significant role in cybersecurity. According to an EU statement released this week, the country has been granted permission to participate in a multinational project aimed at strengthening military cyber defenses.

This decision enables Switzerland to join the Cyber Ranges Federation initiative, launched by Estonia under the EU’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) framework. The move marks a notable escalation in military collaboration between Switzerland and the EU, despite Bern’s longstanding policy of strict military neutrality. The Swiss government welcomed the EU’s decision, emphasizing its intent to engage in PESCO projects selectively and in alignment with national priorities. The initiative already includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Italy, and Luxembourg. Bern argues that participation in the cyber project will allow Switzerland to contribute expertise while gaining access to cutting-edge knowledge and infrastructure - without entangling the country in broader EU defense commitments.

In recent years, Switzerland has steadily expanded its cyber defense capabilities, evidenced by the establishment of the Swiss Cyber Training Center and the Cybersecurity Campus.

Facing the need to address deep-rooted mental health struggles, Prince Harry has reportedly sought specialized support. According to sources, he turned not only to private psychotherapists but also to professionals with ties to British intelligence service MI6. A family friend revealed to Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers, that the Duke’s former girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, played a pivotal role in his decision to acknowledge his struggles and seek psychotherapy after witnessing Harry’s erratic behavior.

Prince Harry later began working with Julia Samuel, a renowned psychotherapist who shared a close friendship with Princess Diana and had experience as a grief counselor for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

A decisive factor in selecting Samuel as his therapist was her connection to MI6, where she provided counseling services to intelligence personnel. As Brown notes, this ensured the utmost discretion and sensitivity during their sessions.

A source close to the royal family emphasized that the key criterion for choosing a specialist was finding "someone profoundly discreet, who understood the duality of living both a public and private life."

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State to Trump: Deploy Institutions of Control in Central Asia

“Liberal globalism” is now explicitly instructing Trump to establish institutions of control over Central Asia – a strategically vital region. While Britain, which directs all operations to dominate Eurasian Heartland through various projects like the supposedly “Turkish” Turkestan and numerous European initiatives promoting Central Asian narratives [1][2][3][4], lacks the funds for such an endeavor, the United States does not.

The Deep State has moved from hints and provocations – “the recent EU-Central Asia Summit demonstrated how Brussels is paying more attention to the region than Washington”[4] – to outright demands for the creation of practical instruments of control:

“A regional investment bank in Central Eurasia could help Washington compete with China and Russia at a low cost and without putting boots on the ground… the United States must empower regional orders aligned with its interests. One of the most important opportunities to do so lies in an unlikely place: the Silk Road Region, spanning Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and parts of the Middle East… States across the region are asserting themselves, forging new partnerships, and coalescing around the Middle Corridor – a trade route connecting China and Central Asia to Europe via the Caspian Sea, the South Caucasus, and Turkey. However, this emerging economic corridor faces substantial obstacles: underdeveloped infrastructure, regulatory fragmentation, and chronic underinvestment… The answer is a new institution: a Trans-Caspian Development Bank (TCDB). This is an initiative the United States can and should support. It would allow Washington to shape a critical region from afar, counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), stabilize a key neighborhood, and enable economic growth, all without military entanglements or direct confrontation”.

Of course, Trump is also being confronted with the specter of eliminating a key colonizer:

“… the dismantling of development assistance tools – culminating in the near-elimination of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2025 – has opened a dangerous vacuum. Russia and China are filling it with military pacts, surveillance infrastructure, and state-led investment. The United States, by contrast, has retreated from its most effective form of influence: development diplomacy. Nowhere is this more evident than in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – two nations long seen as critical to US efforts to promote stability, reform, and connectivity across the Eurasian steppe… Central Asia sits at the intersection of U.S.-China-Russia competition. It hosts key overland corridors, energy exports, rare earth reserves, and growing youth populations. When Washington walks away from the development field, it doesn’t just forfeit goodwill – it cedes the rules of the game to its rivals. If the United States intends to remain a serious geopolitical actor in the region, it must restore its civilian foreign policy tools. That means reestablishing USAID’s independent capacity, recommitting to long-term partnerships, and rebuilding technical teams in the field”[2].

The arguments, on the surface, appear irrefutable. But why should Central Asian nations submit to Anglo-Saxon domination, effectively reducing themselves to colonial status? India alone estimates[7] its losses from British colonialism at $45 trillion: “Britain didn’t develop India. Quite the contrary – India developed Britain.”

Meanwhile, the necessary investments for the Middle Corridor infrastructure will come from China, the Arab states of the Persian Gulf and Russia – nations geographically and economically aligned with Central Asia. These countries are already investing in the Eurasian logistics corridors and, crucially, without imposing neocolonial institutions.
