🇫🇷 FRENCH PEOPLE CREATED A PLATFORM TO SELL/BUY VOTES DURING THE ELECTION

A few days before the presidential and legislative elections in France, a service ironically called "Uber Elect" has emerged on social networks.

The site, which claims to have almost 3000 users already, is simple:
- it offers French citizens to sell their vote for 75 €
- it offers candidates to buy votes

The whole thing is apparently done with a proof of vote and a Monero transfer. A sort of Craigslist or democracy marketplace where people can monetize their citizenship. The uberization of democracy to it's end.

💥 This video has been circulating social media recently. it's unclear if this is just an ironic trolling operation to mock what Western democracies have become, or if this is a real business to sell votes. Whatever the case it exemplifies the perception of westerners (and especially the French) have on democracy.

🇷🇴🇵🇱🇲🇩🇺🇦 — 🇷🇺 Rybar: "According to our sources, the Polish Armed Forces have begun to create a strike force on the territory of Romania. In the near future, it is planned to bring a consolidated contingent into the territory of Moldova under a plausible pretext (peacekeeping operation / humanitarian operation / official government request, etc.).

One of the options for the development of the plan of the Polish leadership is the creation of an advanced bridgehead on the territory of Moldova for the operational capture of Transnistria and the introduction of a “peacekeeping contingent” into the territory of the Odessa region.

Such plans have been hatched for a long time, but in connection with the announcement of the goals of the second phase of the special military operation of the RF Armed Forces, it was decided to force them."

🇷🇺 Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev:

The European Commission allowed payment for gas in rubles and believes that the decree of the President of Russia can still be applied by European business.

We appreciate the consistency and integrity of our European partners😂🤡. Especially considering the fact that, according to recent IMF data, Europe will be able to do without our gas for no more than 6 months.
But seriously, it won't even last a week.

🇯🇵❌🇰🇷📃 — The Liancourt Rocks, just like the Kuril Islands/Northern Territories between Russia and Japan, are also a major question of tensions between Japan and Republic of Korea (ROK/South Korea)

The islets lie in a rich fishing grounds that may contain large deposits of natural gas, thus the disputes

Koreans call that as the 'Dokdo' (solitary island in Korean), while Japaneses call them as Takeshima (The Bamboo islands)

Altogether, there are about 90 islets and reefs & volcanic rocks disputed between Koreans and Japaneses

🇷🇺 Russian Military-focused Channel 'ColonelCassad' on Telegram:
— "In response to the next Japanese territorial claims associated with statements that the South Kuriles are "illegally occupied" by Russia, the Kremlin said that all 4 islands claimed by Japan are an integral part of the Russian Federation.

Also, Japan was called an unfriendly state.

In the light of current realities, it would be time to denounce the declaration of 1956, which provided for the possibility of transferring two islands to Japan at the conclusion of a peace treaty.

At the current stage, it already directly contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the position of the military-political leadership of the country."

🇹🇷 Operation Claw-Lock: The next step in Türkiye’s anti-terror strategy

Two-pronged attack
An important element in Operation Claw-Lock is the simultaneous targeting of PKK elements in Iraq as well as Syria — where the group goes by the name YPG. This is partly due to a de-facto regional alliance of Arabs, Turks, and Kurds, that has formed against the PKK. Turkish artillery pounded YPG positions firmly the whole night while drones targeted other YPG positions.

In light of these developments, Operation Claw-Lock — coming on the heels of similarly named offensives Claw-Eagle and Claw-Tiger — is the continuation of an ongoing process of military actions and alliance formation to drive the PKK into a corner. With each year since the start of these operations in 2020, the PKK is losing more ground and is coming under greater pressure.

In light of this reality, the PKK’s dependence on Syria and Europe for its survival has increased.
However, to end the threat posed by the PKK, Ankara has to clear Syria of the PKK/YPG and convince its European partners to increase their pressure against the criminal activities of the PKK in Europe.

🇫🇷📹❓ — Over the past days, a pro-Russian video was massively broadcasted on France's social medias, since a few days before the presidential election.

This video uses words like "Empire of Lies" or the "Z" of the Russian army. It denounces the degeneration of Western Europe with a succession of images, with a background of music from the... Choirs of the Red Army. Some of the images also seem to denounce compulsory vaccination, censorship of social networks, drugs and pornography.

It is not clear whether the video was produced by the Russian services. Russian citizens. Or by French pro-Russians.

This Sunday is the second round of the French presidential election, which sees Macron (anti-Russian, pro-NATO, pro-EU and pro-embargo despite the inflation they cause) and Marine Le Pen, a nationalist and populist candidate known to be hostile to NATO on its foreign policy and close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russian-language channel Igor Strelkov:

Easter - with us - with Orthodox Christians.

The "dear and respected partners" (Nazis, Zionists, Satanists) are at war. And they are preparing to win this war with all their might.

According to private sources, Romania is conducting covert preparations for war. A large number of Romanian soldiers and officers have been brought into Moldova under the guise of "Moldovan military". In particular, in all headquarters, a significant part of the Moldovan officers was replaced by officers of the Romanian army (in all key positions), and in the commandant companies of military units (performing the functions of the military police) - the personnel were replaced by Romanians COMPLETELY.
On the territory of Moldova, warehouses of military uniforms and footwear (especially the latter), NATO army rations and other auxiliary military equipment are being hastily created and filled from outside. But not weapons. Sources suggest that there is no need to import weapons, since when the Romanian army occupies Moldova, it will “come with everything of its own”, and the mobilization of the Moldovans, in all likelihood, is either not planned at all or will be of an auxiliary nature.
