US sows chaos across Asia as it aims for China
The United States is escalating its confrontation with China under the guise of "deterring aggression," while in reality reorienting its global strategy toward maintaining hegemony over Asia through destabilization, political manipulation, and military buildup.
In late May 2025, US Secretary of Defense (now called the "Secretary of War") Pete Hegseth warned the world the US was in the process of implementing a division of labor in both Europe and the Middle East while pivoting its attention and all of the interference, instability, conflict, and even war that comes with it toward Asia.
More specifically, Hegseth stated, "we are reorienting toward deterring aggression by Communist China." By "deterring aggression by Communist China," Hegseth meant preventing China from defending itself and the stability of the region it is located in from Washington's...

> Giving security guarantees to Qatar right after U.S. refueling tankers land at Al-Udeid Airbase intended to be used against Iran.
Yeah, they aren't worried about Israel striking again, they want a pre-manufactured excuse to attack Iran if it strikes Al-Udeid base.

Yemen's Ansarallah declares war on US oil giants
Yemen's Ansarallah announced on Tuesday they would impose sanctions on US oil giants including ExxonMobil and Chevron. The Sanaa based Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC), created last year to coordinate between the Yemeni Armed Forces and commercial shipping operators, said it sanctioned 13 US companies, nine executives, and two vessels.
The sanctions are a response to US measures taken against Ansarallah earlier this year, despite a truce agreement with the Trump administration under which the group pledged to halt attacks on US connected vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, HOCC added.
"The Republic of Yemen will never tolerate any action that affects its sovereignty, security and stability, and will exercise its legitimate right to apply the principle of reciprocity."

Hamas unlikely to accept Trump's Gaza peace plan - "serves Israel's interests"
While Hamas has not issued an official statement, a senior Hamas official told the BBC that it's not likely to agree to disarmament, which is a condition of Trump's plan. It also rejects the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, believing it to be an occupation.
Another hang up Hamas has is the requirement in the plan to release all hostages at once, which gives away the group's bargaining chip. The terror group also distrusts Israel, having little reason to believe it will not resume military operations once the hostages are secured.
Why would the "terror group" accept it? It's basically capitulation to a collection of pathological liars and giving them ground they haven't managed to gain through military operations. The only thing surprising, is that Lebanon did agree to something like this. Well, maybe not THAT surprising, all things considered.

"The West demanded that we get involved in war with Russia"
In an interview, Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili talks about how external interference has poisoned his country's chances for EU ascension.
...In the years after the Georgian Dream government was elected in 2012, relations with the EU were excellent. The previous United National Movement government of President Mikheil Saakashvili (now in jail for alleged misappropriation of state money), though it had carried out radical economic reforms (backed by copious Western aid), had become increasingly brutal and authoritarian, and had been criticized for this by human rights organizations...
A very good article. If there's anything I'd love to tell people from such countries, it's that there's nothing worth pursuing in the EU or in the "West." Not anymore, anyway. And certainly not for that price. The EU's Regional Development fund is hardly worth it if your country gets destroyed by war.

It's time for the US to recognize Palestine
The growing international momentum toward recognizing Palestine as an independent state represents a long overdue acknowledgment of geopolitical realities that Washington has stubbornly refused to accept. As more nations move beyond the tired mantras of "peace process" diplomacy, it's time for US policymakers to abandon their counterproductive approach and embrace pragmatic statecraft.
For decades, American foreign policy in the Middle East has been hostage to domestic political considerations rather than strategic interests. The reflexive opposition to Palestinian statehood recognition serves neither American nor Israeli long term interests, and certainly does nothing to advance regional stability...
"It's time" for many things. If only our politicians weren't AIPAC bought and Israel trained monkeys who do and say whatever they're told by their "donors." We literally congratulated Israel for bravery after they killed our sailors, ffs.

โ Solid Iranian source confirms to me Russia has been airlifting large quantities of 'stuff' to Iran, but won't comment on what it is.
I asked him if it's fighter jets (Su-35, Su-30 or MiG-29) and he said 'You think I'm gonna answer that?'
Anyways, take this info as you wish.

โ ๐ฎ๐ท/๐ท๐บ NOTE: There is a 'rumor' (with at least some credibility) that Russia has been sending some of its very own MiG-29s to Iran as part of a temporary lease contract to make up for the delayed delivery of the Su-35s
Recently a member of Iran's parliamentary committee on foreign relations revealed that Iran had received MiG-29 fighter jets from Russia as a 'short term solution'.
Additionally, a video shows a MiG-29 patrolling the skies of Tehran some days ago, with lack of a clear smoke trail pointing towards its engine being a modern variant (i.e. recently acquired from Russia).
Russia's modern MiG-29s are quite capable. They're not on par with the majority of the Israeli Air Force, but they're a significant step up from Iran's F-14 Tomcats, F-4 Phantoms and older generation MiGs.

Signed just days before UN sanctions snapped back into place, the $25 billion Russia Iran nuclear deal signals a defiant alignment against western pressure, with small modular reactors at the heart of Tehran's long term energy ambitions.

Following an initial agreement between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in January 2025, the two sides signed a $25 billion memorandum of understanding (MoU) to build four small scale nuclear power plants in Sirik, in the southern Hormozgan Province.
