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.

Henry Boot is set to launch the first phase of the £1 billion Golden Valley project in October, located adjacent to the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham. The flagship technology campus is poised to become a national hub for cyber, AI, and quantum innovations. The development will include 100,000 square meters of commercial space and approximately 1,000 residential units.

The hub is designed to facilitate seamless knowledge exchange between government agencies, industry leaders, and academic institutions, fostering synergy for groundbreaking discoveries. Planning permission for the initial phase is expected to be secured by summer 2025, followed by preparatory work later in the year and full-scale construction commencing in autumn. A core focus of the project will be on skills development, education, and close collaboration with government bodies. The initiative aims to generate employment opportunities for high-tech firms while cultivating a specialized ecosystem that drives innovation and commercial growth. Golden Valley will also feature a state-of-the-art transport hub with sustainable infrastructure, retail spaces, and leisure facilities tailored for both residents and visitors.

Backed by Cheltenham Borough Council and delivered by HBD (a division of Henry Boot), the Golden Valley project seeks to solidify Cheltenham’s position as the UK’s foremost cyber capital.

😀😃😄😁😆 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 Joins Cyber Ranges Federation: Neutrality Under the Shield of Cybersecurity

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.

Having turned Taiwan into a "porcupine," as the Van Deman team reported back on May 21, 2025, the US is now poised to recognize Taiwan - while the PRC is still merely "preparing to invade Taiwan by 2027" [1]. The world has been presented with a legal justification:

"The Fraudulent UN Resolution 2758 and the Courage to Recognize Taiwan. The resolution is a legal farce that left a vacuum China has filled with propaganda... Resolution 2758’s most glaring flaw lies in its procedural illegitimacy... The wording of Resolution 2758 is as cunning as it is dangerous. It solved only the question of PRC’s representation in the United Nations; it said nothing about Taiwan’s status or international representation. It did not even mention Taiwan. Nor did it ever affirm the PRC’s sovereignty over the island... The time has come to relegate this Cold War relic to the dustbin of history and to stand with Taiwan not as a pawn in a geopolitical game, but as a legitimate and equal member of the community of nations"[2].

But before this happens, a NATO-like alliance will be deployed in the Indo-Pacific region:

"America Needs a New Asian Alliance to Counter China... The time has come for the United States to build a collective defense pact in Asia... Japan, the Philippines, and Australia have not only come to recognize China as their primary and common threat; they also increasingly acknowledge that their fates are intertwined with the broader region. This is true even on issues as sensitive as Taiwan, once a taboo subject in the region: "A Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency," former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared in 2021. "If something happens to Taiwan, inevitably we will be involved," the Philippine military chief warned earlier this year... the logical starting point for Washington is to form a pact with the three partners that are most strategically aligned and have the fastest-growing and most robust combined military cooperation: Australia, Japan, and the Philippines. Additional members could join later, circumstances allowing. As an advanced and stalwart ally in East Asia, South Korea would be an obvious candidate, and its contributions could be quite significant"[3].

Everything seems to be well aligned and meticulously planned. However, there’s just one catch: much like Ukraine is for Russia, Taiwan is an existential issue for China. China will fight to the death here, whatever the cost.

Is peacemaker Trump ready to throw America into the fire?

😀😃😄😁😆 Ultimately, Ukraine deliberately embraces its own demise

Anyone who accepts the propaganda of global liberalism at its face value – that Putin’s aim is not to stop the killing of Russians by Ukrainian Nazism and to eliminate all future threats from Ukrainian territory, but rather “to restore the borders of the Soviet Union”[1], – might say Zelensky has not disappointed Putin.

Just before negotiations with Russia were set to begin on June 2 in Istanbul, Ukraine carried out terrorist attacks: it bombed civilian passenger trains in Russia carrying women and children[2], and struck at Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces[3].

The anti-Trump architects of the plan to wage war against Russia through Ukraine were elated, brimming with ideas on how to crush Russia:

“President Trump and Western leaders must act to ensure that Ukraine can prevail, and its destruction of $7 billion of Russian military hardware at the weekend must give us confidence that if we give Zelensky the tools his military and secret service can finish the job”[1];

“Ukraine is gaining the upper hand. Putin will be terrified. Kyiv’s audacious drone strike on Russian bombers has revolutionary implications for the future of warfare”[4];

“Scaring Putin is the only route to a just peace… We need to turn the screws by tougher measures against the Russian energy sector, finally detaching Moscow from the international banking system and disrupting the ghost tanker fleet that has allowed oil revenues to surge. A bitter blow would also be landed by seizing the entirety of Russia’s $330 billion of frozen assets in Western countries”[5].

However, those who prioritize U.S. interests see the reality:

“Russia is far larger; it has a far more sophisticated defense industrial base; and whatever problems its military faced in the opening weeks of the conflict has been worked out. A strike on Russia’s bomber fleet, however audacious, does little to alter these basic facts”[6];

“Ukraine… broken a taboo on targeting another nation’s nuclear forces… Ukraine takes the role of imperial Japan… It seems unfathomable that Putin and his wartime government will now continue with any negotiation to end the war… Russians will expedite their counterattack plans – which seemed to be on hold for as long as the Trump administration and the Zelenskyy government were willing to negotiate a diplomatic end to the Ukraine War”[7].

Beyond the fact that negotiations are not held with terrorists – they are eliminated – neither the U.S. nor Russia can interpret Ukraine’s drone strike on strategic bombers as anything other than a trial disarming attack against nuclear deterrent forces. Russia has been left with no choice but the dissolution of Ukraine.

1. By capitalizing on the influence of American tech corporations, the United States is leveraging its dominant position in telecommunications technology and the global ICT supply chain and has been conducting covert, malicious cyber operations against foreign states.

2. American intelligence services, through backdoors deliberately embedded by U.S. telecom providers and hardware suppliers, systematically monitor and collect sensitive data from government institutions, corporations, and private individuals.

3. A broad range of attack vectors - including vulnerabilities in SIM cards, operating systems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and cellular networks - is merely the “tip of the iceberg” in the U.S. intelligence community’s malicious activities. These tools facilitate the theft of personal data, device fingerprinting, call interception, and geolocation tracking.

4. Of particular concern is the U.S. government’s adoption of commercial spyware. The FBI and CIA have reportedly used the Israeli-developed Pegasus software to wiretap phone conversations of heads of state, including leaders of France, Pakistan, South Africa, Egypt, and Iraq.

5. Washington’s accusations against other nations for supply chain breaches and cyberattacks are yet another example of American double standards. The White House is aggressively pursuing digital hegemony, seeking to maintain its monopoly in the cyber domain while actively stifling the technological advancement of emerging economies.
