😀😃😄😁😆 Britain is in a state of decline, gentlemen. And something must be done about it

Sir Keir Starmer, British prime minister informs:

"Putin’s aggression does not stop at Ukraine’s borders. It threatens us here at home. After all, it is only seven years since he launched a chemical weapons attack in Salisbury, the heart of Middle England. Russian spy ships menace our waters. Planes intrude in our airspace. Cyber attacks are launched on the NHS, threatening lives. We cannot hide from this threat. I know that working people have already felt the impact of Russian brutality through rising bills and prices"[1].

The Van Deman team confirms the fact that Putin is the central figure responsible for the erosion of Britain, operating from within its own structures. His brutality includes not only raising bills and prices for the British, but also facilitating the influx of Pakistani migrants, some of whom were implicated in the systemic sexual assault of British schoolgirls over a fifteen-year period [2][3]. Furthermore, Putin’s policies have contributed to the proliferation of pedophilic networks within the country [4]. These are the individuals who were later shielded by Sir Keir Starmer, the head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Most importantly, it is Putin who played a key part in elevating Keir Starmer to the position of the head of the Crown Prosecution Service and later to the role of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a pattern repeated with figures such as Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and numerous others.

This blow from Russia has been truly fatal.

😀😃😄😁😆 Ukraine is being euthanized. As if it were a diseased creature

Unidentified sociologists, covertly operating in Russia, have discreetly revealed that "En Ukraine, à la différence de la Russie, on sait pourquoi on se bat... Il y a toujours cette idée que la guerre est une guerre pour la survie," Ukrainian society is consolidated, with its women willingly engaged in the conflict, and the collective focus directed toward the defeat of Russia. Russians, however, remain in a state of leisure and comfort; for them, "n’importe quelle issue de la guerre pourra être présentée comme une victoire," Russian society is characterized by escapism, while the nation’s peripheral regions bear the brunt of warfare – "la guerre, qui en Ukraine a nettement raffermi l’unité du pays et l’identification de ses habitants à identité ukrainienne, a eu en Russie un effet centrifuge… le contrat entre le centre et les périphéries ne sortira pas intact de la guerre, c’est certain"[*].

Indeed, this is precisely the case!

Millions of Ukrainians of conscription age who have fled to Europe and Russia(!), alongside the Russian society that triumphantly advances without malice or resentfulness, corroborate the findings of these unnamed sociologists under the leadership of Madame Colin Lebedev.

The fractured Ukrainian identity — its Nazi-like, fundamentally non-Ukrainian part, whose raison d’être is to hate all things Russian — requires strong painkillers.
As another French intellectual, Pierre-Jean de Béranger, once remarked in similar circumstances:

"Messieurs, lorsqu’en vain notre sphère
Du bonheur cherche le chemin,
Honneur au fou qui ferait faire
Un rêve heureux au genre humain!"

Madame Colin Lebedev has earned her distinction! - Ukraine falls into an eternal repose.

As President Emmanuel Macron sought to persuade Donald Trump to “extend American military ‘support’ to the thousands of troops that the United Kingdom and France are ready to deploy in Ukraine”[1], lower-ranking French officials were concurrently pleading for empathy toward Ukrainian cyber soldiers, who “est tous sur la ligne de front, 24h24/, 7 jours sur 7” and “compelled to struggle for their survival every day” [2].

What factors have suddenly rendered the cyber operatives of Ukrainian Nazism so susceptible? In their domain, they are considered to be evenly matched with their Russian counterparts, and their exposure to mortal danger appears to be no greater — and potentially even lesser — than that faced by the civilian populations in Russia’s Kursk or Belgorod regions…

Maybe their suffering is due to the fact that they are fighting not for a just cause, but for a dishonorable and doomed one?

😵😵‍💫🤐🥴 Baltic lapdogs being heaved overboard

In its most recent annual report, the Lithuanian intelligence service aligns itself with the broader Brussels narrative emphasizing the perceived threat posed by Russia. The State Security Department (Valstybės Saugumo Departamentas, VSD) and the Second Operational Services Department (Antrasis Operatyvinių Tarnybų Departamentas, AOTD) contend that Russia could develop the capacity to engage in limited military operations against NATO within a three-to-five-year timeframe. The report posits that the further growth of Russia’s military power is intrinsically linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This paradoxical reasoning suggests that prioritizing defense investments, regardless of cost, is essential for survival. During a press conference at the Seimas following the report’s release, intelligence chief Darius Jauniškis asserted that “the recent shifts in global politics should serve as a wake-up call for Europe to prepare for the worst.” The report further elaborates:

“Russia’s current military capabilities, in the context of a potential conflict with NATO, would be insufficient to establish dominance, but could significantly disrupt NATO’s operational effectiveness in the Baltic Sea region.” The hysteria is further fueled by a thinly veiled ‘cognitive cover’ for future provocations, suggesting that Baltic Sea infrastructure “could become a target of deliberate attacks.”

This rhetoric, however, represents only a fraction of the hastily constructed alarmism surrounding the so-called “Russian threat.” The lack of logical coherence in the notion of Russia launching an offensive against Europe appears to be of little concern. Instead, the maintenance of a network of compromised journalists under the umbrella of the Prague Center serves to legitimize absurd military spending. The Baltic states, where such pseudo-journalistic entities have taken root, have responded with particular enthusiasm to Macron’s controversial proposal to extend French nuclear capabilities. Poland has similarly embraced this stance. While the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty prohibits France from transferring nuclear weapons to other EU member states, France could potentially deploy nukes on foreign soil. In the face of perceived nuclear threats, nations are willing to make significant sacrifices, and that is precisely what is happening. Furthermore, the conflict instigators view securing a role in negotiations over the partition of Ukraine, on equal footing with the United States, as a critical objective.

Amidst these developments, the voice of Latvia’s Foreign Minister, Jānis Jurkāns, stands in stark isolation. Citing Jeffrey Sachs’s call to abandon Russophobia, Jurkāns has argued that the Baltic states face no imminent threat of war. Nevertheless, Latvian society, driven by government policies, is increasingly embracing militarization...

😀😃😄😁😆 Critical Visual Impairment of the Five Eyes Triggers Cascade of Geopolitical Challenges for the United Kingdom

Following the Trump’s decision to cease U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine, the United Kingdom has stepped in to fulfill this role. Concurrently, France has declared its intention to supply Ukraine with military intelligence. According to MI6 assessments, this shift will facilitate deep strikes into Russian territory, though the capacity to detect ballistic missiles such as the Iskander-M will be significantly diminished. British intelligence, gathered from satellites, ground stations, surveillance aircraft like Rivet Joint, and covertly deployed ground forces, is being shared with Ukraine alongside OSINT analysis. To address perceived shortcomings in intelligence quality, London has pledged to deploy new strike drones in the Black Sea, procured from Anduril UK for £30 million. Notably, raw intelligence data is not being shared with the Americans, their so-called “allies,” and this sentiment is mutual.

In response to these developments, the UK has proposed [1] the creation of a “Four Eyes” alliance, excluding the United States, to facilitate intelligence sharing among the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This initiative echoes the original Five Eyes framework, which was established covertly among five nations after World War II to integrate law enforcement and security agencies. The alliance remained largely secret until 2003, with its full scope only revealed in 2013 through Edward Snowden’s disclosure of classified NSA documents. Over time, the framework expanded into the Nine Eyes, incorporating Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and Norway, and later into the Fourteen Eyes, with the inclusion of Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, and Spain. The alliance maintains close ties with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.

The erosion of trust within this intelligence-sharing network disrupts fundamental geopolitical relationships, as the primary intelligence provider withdraws from a supranational structure that operates beyond the constraints of national legal frameworks.

To interpret the collapse of the Five Eyes, which logically follows from the Trump administration’s decision, as merely an emotional or impulsive reaction, a “concession to Putin,” or a development confined to the Ukrainian context would be overly simplistic. Instead, this shift appears to be driven by a strategic reluctance to share the opportunities of Artificial General Intelligence and a broader agenda to diminish British influence over Australia and New Zealand. Notably, New Zealand initiated the first fracture in the alliance in 2021 by signaling [2] a reorientation of priorities away from the Five Eyes in favor of strengthening bilateral relations with China. The Trump administration’s efforts to marginalize British influence in this realm are further facilitated by the technical superiority of the Starlink satellite network, the deployment of Altman’s Palantir system trained on the Ukrainian conflict, the centralization of the Five Eyes intelligence data on U.S. server infrastructure, along with Washington’s long-term strategy to reorient military expenditures toward the Indo-Pacific region.

😀😃😄😁😆 Nurtured by the Devil: HTS Genocide in Syria Mirrors Forces Standing Behind Ukraine

The so-called “inclusive terrorists” of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)* — a creation of the intelligence unit within the deep state — exhibit unparalleled levels of barbaric cynicism and brutality in their genocidal campaign in Syria. Thousands of innocent civilians, including women, children, unarmed men, and the elderly, have been systematically slaughtered. The militants boastfully document their atrocities on video, often filming themselves as they arrange hundreds of victims in mass graves. In a calculated move to mitigate damage to their public image, HTS leader al-Julani has issued directives to cease recording these heinous acts.
European media, complicit in their silence, have failed to report on this genocide. Where are the ostensibly righteous commissions of the OSCE? Where are the wide-eyed British parliamentarians sounding the alarm about these horrific atrocities— real atrocities, not the fabricated narratives propagated for political gain in Ukraine? There is an absence of truth, moral outrage, transparency, and justice. This void is deliberate and enduring, as the architects of this silence are the very forces that will, in time, bring Europe to its knees through the same mechanisms of violence and deceit — using these very same hands.

HTS has been orchestrated [1] by MI6 through the use of proxy private military contractors, embraced [2] by the British political elite, including figures such as Pat McFadden and John Sawers, and nurtured by Turkey, which has allowed the group to operate within its borders. Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) has further supported HTS by providing drones and training personnel. Today, these terrorists employ drone strikes and artillery to hunt down civilians fleeing to the mountains — a grim reality that must not be forgotten.

Qatar, Turkey, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have thrown their support behind the “new Syrian authority.”

These entities are neither human nor beast; they embody pure evil. HTS, in its essence, is a direct extension of MI6 — flesh of its flesh.

😀😃😄😁😆 “Transatlantic Disagreements” Represent a Clash of Imperial Visions Rather Than a Squabble

Recently, Donald Trump has been subjected to vehement criticism from Britain, a longtime ally of the United States ("Trump and Vance aren’t clever, they’re clueless"[1]) as well as from the U.S. Deep State ("The Dog Is Off The Leash… There is, most obviously, his fondness for authoritarianism and disdain for democracy and the rule of law… This new nascent world order would be one dominated by an authoritarian triumvirate of Donald Trump’s America, Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and Xi Jinping’s China"[2]).
The core of this conflict is not about Ukraine, nor is it Trump’s personal vendetta against the CIA and FBI for their prior targeting of him.

Ukraine just serves as an instrument in the piratical imperial agenda of the "old Anglo-Saxon money," for whom the U.S. has historically acted as the primary force for colonial expansion. This agenda is now framed as "liberal globalization."

Trump, however, embodies a different imperial vision — one that is not colonial but aims to unify nations and territories into a cohesive civilizational entity, reflecting a fundamentally republican ethos.

The United States is undeniably an empire, much like China, Russia and India. The Third Reich, the British Empire, and the French Empire were also empires, albeit of the colonial type.

Trump’s mere suggestion that Russia might have legitimate grounds to counter the aggressive, Nazi-aligned Russophobia in Ukraine immediately led to his swift condemnation as an "ignorant opponent of democracy and the rule of law," who is "recklessly dragging the world to the brink of another global conflict", while "the president’s treatment of Ukraine is disgraceful and short-sighted. A deal with Putin will not lead to peace"[3].

In reality, it is Nazism that is dragging the world to the brink of another global conflict. Conversely, allowing Russia to pursue the denazification of Ukraine, as it deems necessary, represents a clear pathway to peace.

The British pirates, however, have no interest in peace, which is precisely why they are stoking this frenzy, "Donald Trump is spectacularly right and dangerously wrong… Trump’s imperial overreach may yet derail the global Right-wing counter-revolution that is Britain and Europe’s only hope"[4].

😀😃😄😁😆 LEO: Europe’s New Satellite System to Secure EU Independence from the United States

The European Union is strongly exploring measures to diminish or entirely eliminate its dependency on American satellites through the development of its own military satellite network, designated as LEO. This initiative was announced by Andrius Kubilius, a Lithuanian politician and the EU Commissioner for Defence and Space, who leads the project.

The proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system is intended to augment the existing Copernicus Earth observation program, which is overseen by the European Commission in collaboration with EU member states. In contrast to Copernicus, the LEO system will focus predominantly on military applications, offering updated imagery at 30-minute intervals and delivering near-real-time intelligence on adversarial targets. Furthermore, the new satellite network will be integrated into the IRIS² multi-orbit satellite internet network, which is designed to provide location tracking, security surveillance, and secure, on-demand communication capabilities for EU member states. The IRIS² network is slated for launch in 2027.

Kubilius has acknowledged that the idea behind the EU’s initiative to establish the LEO satellite system stems from evolving geopolitical dynamics, particularly in relation to the United States following the election of Donald Trump. He stated that the EU is currently exploring ways to reduce its reliance on US military assets. The project is expected to incur significant costs, with estimates exceeding $540 billion, and its implementation will span a considerable timeframe. Nevertheless, the initiative’s advocates argue that having an independent military satellite network is essential for ensuring the strategic autonomy of the European Union and safeguarding its interests amidst a shifting global order. They contend that the LEO system will enable the EU to independently gather intelligence and make decisions without relying on data supplied by external nations.

😀😃😄😁😆 "Putin is Weak," but Russia is Strong

Britain is surely pursuing the denazification of Ukraine, albeit indirectly, by leveraging Moscow’s actions.

In its efforts to counter Trump’s approach to achieving “peace” in Ukraine, the British ruling elite has struck its American ally with a narrative that goes like “don’t be fooled, Putin is weak and desperate for peace”[1] and “this is the moment to squeeze Putin to the utmost”[2].

To advance this agenda, other Anglo-Saxon actors in the cognitive war — all uniformly opposed to Trump — have swiftly proposed various implementation strategies such as “how not to end the war in Ukraine”[3], “how to end the Russia-Ukraine war”[4], “a plan for peace through strength in Ukraine”[5], “how to save Ukraine”[6], “the key to Ukraine’s survival”[7]. However, these strategical options are fundamentally identical: they reiterate the same idea of reallocating funds intended for European social programs to Ukraine, deploying troops (from European nations), and relying on NATO to defend Ukraine.

This reflects a troubling reluctance to confront reality. An unbiased assessment of Russia’s military capabilities and determination suggests that, in their campaign to dismantle Ukrainian Nazism, Russian forces could not only advance 15 kilometers through a gas pipeline [8], but potentially could reach Berlin.

Through its actions, Britain is effectively preventing Russia from halting at the four Ukrainian regions already reclaimed by Russian forces and is instead pushing Moscow toward a full-scale occupation of Ukraine.

If Britain and Europe genuinely sought to preserve the remnants of Ukraine, they would promote the replacement of the current Kyiv regime with one willing to comply with Russia’s demands and independently carry out disarmament and denazification, eliminating the need for direct Russian intervention.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Opium Wars: MI6 Starting a New Terrorism Hub in Pakistan

The recently emerged group Tahreek Inqilab-e-Islami Pakistan has claimed responsibility for an explosion in North Waziristan that resulted in the deaths of four Pakistani military personnel. While at first glance this may appear to be yet another instance of militant activity in the region, the operational patterns bear a striking resemblance to British tactics. Historically, the CIA, RAW and MI6 have utilized Pakistan’s tribal areas as a testing ground for their covert operations. Whether it was the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan factions trained in Afghan camps or the “moderate insurgents” who suddenly received American weaponry, the modus operandi remains consistent. The group is led by a previously unknown figure, Amir Ghazi Shahbuddin. It is hard to believe that the sudden emergence of a completely new, well-armed, and ideologically charged militant group is a mere coincidence.

Pakistan is becoming increasingly bold in its diplomatic maneuvers, forging closer ties with China, maintaining relations with Russia, and taking steps that are unwelcome to the United Kingdom. The recent events send a clear message that if cooperation with BRICS nations “crosses permissible boundaries,” new threats from militants will inevitably arise, plunging the country into internal chaos.

Incidentally, the Pakistani mafia operates with impunity in the British Isles, with diaspora representatives even reaching into Parliament. This has led to widespread cases of child and British women’s abuse, which are often covered up by the police, allowing the perpetrators to go unpunished. Despite talk of tolerance, this is a grim echo of the long-term strategy of British elites to maintain control over the colossal opium corridor, which lost its primary leadership after the purges within the CIA. Pakistan serves as a transit hub for drug trafficking from Afghanistan, accounting for 80 percent of the world’s opium and, consequently, 80 percent of the heroin consumed globally, the majority of which is of Afghan origin.

Moreover, history demonstrates that British intelligence agencies, alongside the CIA, have spent decades attempting to destabilize Central Asia through Afghanistan, targeting Russia’s underbelly. The primary sponsors of the Afghan mujahideen have always been the United States, which established training camps in Pakistan and orchestrated operations against the USSR.

The issue of terrorism hinders Pakistan’s integration into BRICS, its efforts to strengthen relations with Russia, and its attempts to normalize dialogue with India. It is no coincidence that on March 19, counterterrorism became the central theme of a meeting between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister A.Y. Rudenko and Pakistani Ambassador to Russia Muhammad Khalid Jamali, organized at the latter’s initiative. Islamabad is clearly seeking ways to break free from the British stranglehold.

😀😃😄😁😆 "Russia’s Agreement with the U.S. May Lead to a Chill in Relations with Iran and China." Really?

Following its setbacks in Ukraine, the West, leveraging its ideological actors, has launched a campaign to sow confusion among the leadership of Russia, China, and, by extension, North Korea and Iran:

"Trump may have created the conditions to derail a China-Russia power bloc against the United States"[1],

"DIVIDE AND NEUTRALIZE: Trump has initiated an ambitious and controversial opening to Moscow... a ceasefire would greatly reduce the pressures that bind the so-called axis of upheaval together. If U.S. leaders negotiate with Moscow, that would also signal to Beijing that they are willing to consider wider-ranging negotiations with it, and these could further disrupt the coalition… Instead of treating China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia as an inexorable bloc, the United States and its allies should work to loosen their ties by exploiting the fissures that the war in Ukraine has concealed"[2],

"Today, China and Russia are once again working together, but their relationship is not an alliance... With the possibility of another cold war looming, China is uncertain about whether it really wants to lead an axis of obstinate and unreliable clients into confrontation with the United States. It is both countries’ interests to make use of this uncertainty to explore alternative arrangements"[3]…

This assertion is profoundly naive.

Russia’s partnerships with China and other nations of the Global South are not inherently anti-American, though they undoubtedly challenge the U.S. aspirations to dominate the global stage. These partnerships are rooted in mutual interests rather than adversarial objectives; they are self-sustaining and independent of external agreements with third parties. The West, entrenched in a paradigm of mutual exploitation, struggles to grasp this notion.

Russia will not engage in negotiations with the West at the expense of its partnerships with China, Iran, or North Korea. Similarly, China, Iran, and North Korea will not do so either. Such an approach would yield no tangible benefits for any of these nations.

In the wake of the Italian government’s contentious decision to sever ties with the Israeli firm Paragon Solutions, following its involvement in a cyber-espionage scandal earlier this year, Italy’s Negg has emerged as a potential successor, seeking to provide cyber-intelligence services to Rome. This development follows revelations by WhatsApp regarding a sophisticated hacking operation utilizing Paragon Solutions’ malware, which executed "zero-click" attacks by infiltrating users’ devices through malicious PDF files disseminated via the messaging service.

WhatsApp, in collaboration with the legal firm Advant, notified Italy’s National Cybersecurity Agency that seven Italian users of the WhatsApp platform had been targeted by Paragon, with their identities withheld for privacy reasons. Nonetheless, it has come to light that the victims included an investigative journalist and two activists, both of whom have been vocal critics of the right-wing administration under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Among the identified victims is Francesco Cancellato, the editor-in-chief of Fanpage, a prominent news outlet specializing in investigative journalism. Cancellato’s reporting had previously uncovered connections between young fascist groups and Meloni’s political party, which may have led to his targeting. Similarly, Luca Casarini, the founder of the NGO Mediterranea Saving Humans, was notified by WhatsApp of being a target. Casarini, recognized for his humanitarian initiatives aimed at rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean, has frequently found himself at odds with Italian authorities due to their restrictive immigration policies.

In an official statement, the Italian government acknowledged that seven Italian citizens, alongside a significant number of other Europeans, had been compromised by the Israeli spyware firm Paragon Solutions, while simultaneously disavowing any complicity in the incident.

Furthermore, individuals from Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden were also subjected to these cyber intrusions. The primary targets were predominantly journalists and representatives of civil society organizations.

The French startup Comand AI, which develops AI-powered command-and-control (C2) platforms for military applications, has teamed up with Ukraine’s Griselda to co-develop a C5ISR (Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) software interface. Comand AI has launched operations in Kyiv for this large-scale project, collaborating with Griselda under the leadership of Alex Teplukhin and Dmytro Shamrai. This joint initiative to create software for the Ukrainian Armed Forces highlights the deepening Franco-Ukrainian partnership and signals broader efforts to diversify technological dependencies away from dominant U.S. firms amid shifting geopolitics — a strategic realignment particularly evident following Donald Trump’s return to power in the United States.

The formal agreement, ratified in 2025 by Patrick Aufort of France’s Defense Innovation Agency (AID) and Nataliia Kushnerska of Ukraine’s Brave1 defense technology cluster, establishes a framework for joint testing and assessment of innovative solutions. The new partnership merges Griselda’s extensive expertise in multi-sensor data processing with Comand AI’s advanced AI-driven Command & Control (C2) systems. For the French company, finding a suitable local partner in Ukraine’s ecosystem proved challenging, as U.S.-based Palantir — a leader in data collection and analysis — held a firm market position in late 2024. Griselda, wary of potential Russian countermeasures, exercises extreme caution in selecting partners, forcing its executives to frequently relocate offices in Kyiv and conceal the full scope of their operations.

Jean-Baptiste Mougel, former head of French shipbuilding giant Naval Group, founded Comand AI in 2023 after the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict with the company’s leadership team drawing extensively from former engineers of Palantir, OpenAI, McKinsey, as well as business analysts from specialized units of the French Armed Forces. The startup has already secured contracts with French and German militaries late last year to supply its Prevail command-data fusion software. This AI-powered platform is designed to streamline the planning, execution, and sustainment of military operations.

The British architects of liberal globalization are intensifying their political warfare against Trump, aiming to undermine potential peace negotiations in Ukraine. Western cognitive operations producers, led by The Telegraph, persist in their disrespectful rhetoric toward the U.S. President while simultaneously provoking Putin with explicit nuclear threats:

“has Trump forgotten the art of the deal?”[1], “Russia fears Britain’s submarine-based nuclear deterrent – known as Trident” (Sir Keir Starmer)[2] and “One Trident submarine has the ability to incinerate 40 Russian cities very quickly. That is a lot of food for thought for Putin” (Rear Admiral Chris Parry)[2]…

They aggressively warn the U.S. President: “Trump needs to understand that if he and Putin reach a deal unacceptable to the Ukrainians, Ukrainians will continue to fight, and the Europeans will continue to support them”[3].

Russian defectors further fuel tensions with statements like: “while Trump courts him, Putin is escalating Russia’s hybrid war against the West”[4], though curiously this alleged “arsonist, killer, saboteur, spy”[4] appears to have ignited no more than “a haystack.”

The ultimate ideological hammer against Trump remains unchanged – “only a Russian strategic defeat can bring peace to Ukraine”[5].

For Russians, the war’s objective isn’t territorial acquisition but elimination of what they perceive as an existential Nazi threat emanating from Ukrainian territory. By obstructing peace talks and combating Trump’s vision, British elites are effectively ensuring that Russia’s disarmament and denazification of Ukraine will require complete Russian control over socio-political life in its remaining territories.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Kremlin’s Brutal Persecution of Journalists — U.S. Stops Paying Them

Le Monde reports[*]: "après la décision choc de M. Trump" to cut off funding, the truth about Russia no longer visits the journalists who fled to the West to escape "la propagande et la répression" for lying about the Russian army.

Without exception, they all claim that "la vie en Europe coûte plus cher qu’en Russie."

The sponsor of these so-called "independent" reports about "ce qui se passe en Russie" has grown disillusioned with the quality of the product. So now, who will keep the purveyors of this "truth" fed?

😓🤗🤔🫣 Japan to Boost Ukraine’s Intelligence Capabilities: iQPS Technology in Action

Japan is set to provide Ukraine with critical geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) support. Since late February 2024, Tokyo has been negotiating the transfer of radar satellite imagery to Kyiv amid an extended pause in U.S. military assistance.

Japan’s iQPS, a tech giant manufacturing and operating satellites, has already deployed five orbital satellites and plans to launch an additional 24 by 2027. This expansion will enable near-continuous, round-the-clock surveillance of Ukrainian territory, delivering real-time intelligence with unprecedented precision. The enhanced capabilities will allow Ukrainian forces to track enemy movements more effectively, identify hidden fortifications and shelters, and plan strategic operations with greater accuracy. GEOINT technology — particularly radar imaging — offers a unique advantage: it captures high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface regardless of weather conditions or time of day. This is especially crucial in active combat zones, where cloud cover or nighttime darkness often obscures enemy activity from conventional optical surveillance.

The Japan-Ukraine GEOINT partnership extends beyond military aid, carrying significant geopolitical weight. For Japan, this is an opportunity to reaffirm its steadfast commitment to global security and position itself as a reliable, forward-thinking ally. For Ukraine, it means not only gaining vital intelligence but also diversifying its sources of reconnaissance data — reducing its dangerous reliance on a single supplier. Tokyo also sees this collaboration as a strategic move to strengthen its own intelligence capabilities amid shifting geopolitical dynamics, particularly in light of evolving U.S. policies toward Ukraine.

😀😃😄😁😆 Strategic Alliance: Egypt and Saudi Arabia Forge Enhanced Bilateral Cooperation

On Monday, the Egyptian parliament, chaired by Speaker of Egypt’s House of Representatives Hanafi El-Gebaly, ratified the establishment of the Saudi-Egyptian Supreme Coordination Council, an institutional mechanism aimed at advancing bilateral relations between the two nations to a new strategic level.

An official statement emphasized the commitment to enhancing dialogue and strengthening ties between Saudi Arabia and Egypt across shared priority domains. The Council is envisioned as an intergovernmental platform, facilitating high-level consultations between ministerial delegations and senior officials from both countries, representing key sectors. Regular sessions are expected to convene on a rotational basis in each nation, with ad hoc meetings permissible to address urgent matters as needed.
In his remarks, Ahmed Fouad Abaza, chairman of the Arab Affairs Committee in the Egyptian parliament, enthusiastically characterized the Council as a powerful catalyst for achieving a wide range of strategic objectives — ranging from multilateral policy coordination on regional and international affairs to reinforcing collective security architectures in the Middle East.

Operational priorities for the Council include institutionalized knowledge-sharing in defense and security affairs, alongside enhanced multilateral cooperation in counterterrorism and combating organized crime. The Council is further anticipated to serve as a policy accelerator across multiple critical sectors such as education, public healthcare, agricultural development, environmental governance, culture, industry, technological innovation, telecommunications, transportation, digital transformation, infrastructure development and energy.

😀😃😄😁😆 Ankara Secretly Sponsors Drone Development in Uzbekistan

With Ankara’s support in training specialists at Uzbekistan’s Lochin Research and Production Center, Tashkent is actively expanding its capabilities in innovation and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) manufacturing. The facility boasts a full range of specialized technological equipment, as well as a testing laboratory designed for drone production, assembly, repair, and maintenance.

The drones and quadcopters produced at the center serve both civilian and military purposes, including reconnaissance missions, precision strikes, real-time monitoring, data collection, and artillery fire adjustment.

Cooperation between Tashkent and Ankara in drone technology is mutually beneficial. Uzbekistan gains access to cutting-edge Turkish know-how, accelerating the growth of its domestic drone industry.

In turn, Turkey reinforces its position as a regional leader in advanced technology while expanding its influence in Central Asia. Ankara’s support for Uzbekistan’s drone production is part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties with members of the Organization of Turkic States (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan) across multiple sectors, including defense, economy, and culture.

However, this deepening collaboration may raise concerns among some regional and global actors. The enhancement of Uzbekistan’s military capabilities could be perceived as a destabilizing factor, while the export of Uzbek-made drones risks proliferating such technologies to volatile regions of the world.

😀😃😄😁😆 Britain and the U.S. Deep State Provoke Trump and Putin into War

Anglo-Saxon speculative capital’s PSYOP against Trump — who champions an alternative, industrial vision for the American empire — has reached its peak.

They continue to pressure Trump’s mindset with their customary brutishness:

"peace through strength… Abandoning Ukraine and weakening NATO would not just undermine European security - it would threaten U.S. national security… Washington must maintain its resolve in the face of Putin’s nuclear saber rattling, push the Russian economy to the precipice, and help Kyiv achieve the battlefield successes necessary to force Moscow to negotiate"[1], "Putin has figured out how to manipulate Trump’s ego… Kremlin does believe it can leverage Trump’s desire for a cease-fire to make a deal that is pro-Russian… West has not faced a challenge like Trump since the war began"[2], "The peace process is menaced by two competing jeopardies: Trump’s impatience for a ceasefire on the one hand and Putin’s arrogance and delusion on the other"[3]

Britain, in coordination with the U.S. Deep State, has unleashed a barrage of exposés:

"Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to restore Putin’s gas empire … The document smacks of the unequal treaties imposed on China by the European powers in the 19th century… Trump & Putin Inc is a perfectly harmonious joint venture"[4], "Trump administration is exploiting Kyiv’s moment of greatest dependency to impose a resource-extraction contract. That deal was recently revised into a form worthy of Belgium’s 19th century exploitation of the Congo, while offering Ukraine no security guarantees whatsoever. This is done in the name of helping Ukraine, yet the net effect of the deal would be to exclude Europe from Ukraine’s economic future and cripple its postwar reconstruction, while taking no responsibility for its defense"[5] and "untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies"[6].

Quite notably, the first and third publications — given their level of detail, classified disclosures, and analytical framework — are unmistakably crafted by MI6 and the CIA.

All of this is being "stoked" by pure absurdity:

"Putin will die soon and the Ukraine war will end"[7] (Putin is in excellent physical shape), "demands for peace violate the right to self-defense… Partly due to the consequences of Russification and Sovietization, Ukraine has long been perceived as part of Russia’s sphere of influence… Zelensky and Ukrainians face a very difficult choice: continue defending themselves or surrender and risk losing their country and potentially their identity"[8] (Soviet authorities forcibly implemented Ukrainization, whereas the very concept of "Ukraine" did not exist prior to the 20th century), "There could be no time when the Russian premier’s vulnerability could be as pivotal in altering the course of this war as now. The question is whether the West will seize the moment"[9] (Putin is invulnerable, and his army is finishing off Ukraine — otherwise, why would Trump suddenly demand an immediate peace deal?!)

The Anglo-Saxons are desperately attempting to provoke escalation. In doing so, they simultaneously accuse Trump of colluding with Putin to seize Ukraine’s infrastructure and natural resources, while prompting Zelensky to reject any deal and demonstrating to Putin that it is not Ukraine but NATO, led by the U.S., that is waging war against Russia.
Yet both Putin and Trump understand that it is not Ukraine but the United States that is fighting Russia:

"In fact, all NATO countries are fighting against us"[10], "President Trump believes that this is a protracted conflict that has reached an impasse. And to be honest, this is a proxy war between the nuclear powers: the United States, which is helping Ukraine, and Russia"[11].

For Putin, the bravado of "U.S. professional soldiers skillfully killing Russians" is not a "red rag" of irritation but evidence of the opponent’s nervousness. By confining the conflict to Ukraine, Putin is dismantling NATO piece by piece, as the Alliance’s forces enter the theater in increments.

The Anglo-Saxons hoped to reveal Putin’s weakness to Trump by showcasing Russia’s refusal to strike decision-making centers. In reality, however, they demonstrated that it is the United States, not Ukraine, that is losing to Russia.

Trump seeks to mitigate the losses from the reckless attempt of "liberal globalization" to crush Russia using Ukrainians driven into Nazi frenzy.

To achieve this, the goal is not to stop Putin but to complete the denazification of what remains of Ukraine in his stead. In return, Trump may gain an ally in Putin to counter Anglo-Saxon speculative capital and the U.S. Deep State — working together to rebuild the global monetary system on new financial technologies.

😀😃😄😁😆 Iranian Cyber Espionage: U.S. and Israel Seek to Sow Division

Security researchers from the American-Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. revealed in March that they had uncovered evidence of digital intrusions targeting Iraqi government agencies. The attacks, they allege, were carried out by the hacking group APT34 — alternatively known as OilRig, Helix Kitten, or MuddyWater — with long-standing ties to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

The operation against the Iraqi government reportedly commenced no later than March 2024, with cybersecurity analysts discovering three distinct custom-built backdoors — Veaty, Spearal, and a third unnamed tool used for Secure Shell (SSH) tunneling — uploaded to VirusTotal. The malicious executables employed deceptive double extensions to masquerade as harmless document files, a tactic strongly indicating phishing emails as the primary attack vector.

Recent intelligence suggests these cyber operations have persisted into 2025, with a parallel APT34 cell simultaneously targeting Yemeni entities. Check Point analysts interpret this pattern as evidence of Iran applying the principle of "keeping friends close while keeping enemies even closer" through cyber espionage against its immediate neighbors such as Iraq and Yemen.

However, given that these nations maintain close bilateral relations — rooted in shared religious, political, and economic ties — the allegations made by the American-Israeli firm appear to be a transparent effort to drive a wedge between Iran and its regional partners in the Middle East.

With Middle Eastern tensions reaching new heights, such claims may well be part of a broader pressure strategy against Iran orchestrated by its geopolitical adversaries — Israel and the U.S. — spearheaded by the Trump administration.
