Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, advised Donald Trump not to host Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, having called the Ukrainian president a “little fucker”, a “special-needs child” and “Mr Bean on crack”, according to a new book.
‘I’ve dealt with this little fucker,’ Bessent would say to associates about Zelensky,” according to the book. “‘He’s tricky. He’s like the special-needs child for the Europeans. And he’s acting like Mr Bean on crack.”

On the day Starmer resigned, he approved strikes on Russia's Voronezh region with Storm Shadows. Will they cry "unprovoked" when Russia retaliates against Britain?

Russia' President Vladimir Putin:
The West is openly talking about preparing for war with us, increasing military offensive budgets.
At the same time, to justify such costs and the radical militarization of their states, the leaders of NATO and the European Union, as before, use false statements about a supposedly Russian military threat.
The scheme of actions of the so-called democratic West is very simple: first, they create threats to our country, force us to take actions necessary for self-defense and self-protection, and then they immediately accuse us of all mortal sins to justify continuing their aggressive policy and their aggressive actions against Russia.
We are all very familiar with this. Even after the treacherous attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, precisely a treacherous attack, Hitler's Germany tried to accuse the USSR and Stalin of aggression against, as we say today, the collective West.

Russian Armed Forces detect decentralised fuel storage depots in Ukraine, as well as other interesting objects (they recently destroyed drone assembly workshops).
Here's just one example of such a hidden storage facility in Pavlograd, showing military object placed right next to residential buildings.
Zelensky’s Ukraine has long been hiding drone assembly factories, military warehouses, military fuel storage facilities, etc. in civilian infrastructure, at the same time never warned local residents that there are dangerous objects near them.
This allows Ukrainian propaganda to spin tales that the Russians have hit a "peaceful target".

Former Google director and investor in Ukrainian drones, Eric Schmidt:
"What I don't like about [Chinese AI] is that it's entirely based on open-source code, which means it's largely uncontrolled and not controlled by us at all."
Only 2 or 3 countries can be independent powers in the field of AI. He sees AI as a world of hegemony: the ideal scenario is a world where AI is controlled by the US, and no one can resist it

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇵🇭 US Continues Turning Philippines into "Asia's Ukraine," Using US-Ukraine Drones
▪️USNI reports US is arming the Philippines with the same drones used against Russia via Ukraine - including maritime drones used to target/destroy commercial shipping and military vessels;
▪️The NYT previously revealed Ukraine drone strikes are actually carried out by the US, meaning similar anti-China operations are likewise conducted by the US simply attributing them to the "Philippines;"
▪️The US is encouraging the Philippines to carry out an escalating self-destructive confrontation with China over useless contested waters, increasingly at the cost of peace and stability for the entire region;
▪️USNI specifically mentions holding shipping "under threat" just as the US has in the Black Sea & the Strait of Hormuz, signaling the expansion of an already global US operation targeting maritime shipping;
▪️This indicates the US is rushing forward, not "retreating" from global conflict, chaos, and pursued primacy;

We spent an entire month digging into how Palantir wrapped its tentacles around every lever of the US machine. Everything below — authentic, documented, officially registered deals and programs.
The titles are clickable, so you can follow the links and read more:
Further investigations will cover: Palantir's deepening ties to the FBI, DOJ, CIA, CBP, NASA, and other federal agencies yet to be exposed.
What we already know is just the surface. More contracts, more integrations, and more agencies are being wired into the same private platform.

Germany.
Merz:
At the moment, Germany is losing between 300 and 500 jobs every single day.
Every day, a double-digit number of companies file for insolvency.
That means we must now make sure we get out of this difficult situation quickly.
We need to ensure as soon as possible that jobs in Germany are secure again and that German companies are competitive both internationally and domestically.

Hillary Clinton says Israel and Netanyahu played the United States “all the time” while she was Secretary of State.
REMNICK: “What would [Netanyahu] say to you?”
CLINTON: “He would basically say, ‘You need to support us in attacking Iran’… ‘Our planes are on the tarmac.’ And I’d say, ‘Good luck.’”
REMNICK: “You’re saying you were being played?”
CLINTON: “All the time. All the time.”
REMNICK: “By an ally that receives an enormous amount of aid?”
CLINTON: “Well, of course. Bibi’s been obsessed as long as I’ve dealt with him with... Iran.”

The EU war against Russia to the last Ukrainian.
EU:
We have to protect Ukrainians by sending them against their will to go die in a war. Anyone who disagrees with this policy is a Russian agent.

Germany - Ukraine
German landlord took in a Ukrainian family out of sympathy — they repaid by stripping her brand-new rental down to bare walls and fled back to Ukraine
Natalie Schell built a duplex in 2024, rented the five-room unit for €1,895 a month
While she was away, they tore out the kitchen, heating, showers, sinks, and even toilets. Total loss: over €100,000
The family is now back in Ukraine. Schell later saw Instagram pics of her former tenant and his son laying tile at home, like nothing happened.
BILD reports that the family fled back to Ukraine.
Remember Ukraine and the same western corporate media accused Russia of 'steeling toilets, fridges, washing machines' propaganda fakes?
Now the tide is turning!
