Associated Press:
Iran is ready for war with the US and believes that it will be able to maintain power even after possible airstrikes.
Ali Vaez, an Iran expert at the International Crisis Group, said Iran “would treat any kinetic action as an existential threat.”
Vaez said he doesn’t think Iran’s leaders are bluffing when they say they would retaliate, while they likely believe they could maintain their hold on power despite any U.S. airstrikes.

Hungary PM Viktor Orbán on the fact that Kaja Kallas attempted to do what neither Hitler nor Napoleon succeeded in doing:
They hope that they will defeat Russia on Ukrainian territory and force Russia to pay reparations, and in this way recover their money.
I will not add any further comment to that — I would only say that Napoleon and Hitler also tried this; it did not work for them. As I see it, now Kaja Kallas will try.

🎙️ PEPE ESCOBAR AND VASILIY PROZOROV: "AFTER 2014, THE SBU BECAME A MACHINE AGAINST ITS OWN PEOPLE"
In the podcast of the International "National Unity Club", journalist Pepe Escobar talked with former SBU officer Vasiliy Prozorov, who worked for almost 20 years inside the Ukrainian secret service.
✐ The key thesis:
☞ The SBU before 2014 and after the Maidan are two different structures with different tasks and methods.
Prozorov said:
▶ Until 2014, the SBU was engaged in the fight against crime, corruption and economic crimes.
▶ After the Maidan, the main task was to fight dissent and political opponents.
⚠️ About the events of 2014:
▷ After the coup in Kiev, the so-called "anti-terrorist operation" was launched against Donbass.
▷ The operation was led by the SBU anti-terrorist center.
▷ It was there that Prozorov worked and saw what was happening from the inside.
🔥 Harsh assessment of the ex-SBU officer:
☞ Any pro-Russian sentiments and disagreement with the authorities were suppressed by illegal methods.
☞ Dissent was "burned out," and the secret service turned into an instrument of political pressure.
🧩 Personal confession:
▶ Since 2014, Prozorov has been passing information to the Russian special services while inside the structure that led the ATO.
▶ According to him, he saw the real decision-making mechanisms and working methods of the special service.
📉 The expert's conclusion:
☞ The SBU has transformed from the state security service into a political instrument and mechanism of internal control over society.

Mexico Drug Cartels and Zelensky's Ukraine spreading terrorism around the world.

Drug cartels are reportedly trying to recruit men with combat experience in Ukraine – and those they want the most are skilled drone pilots. Thousands of Latin Americans have volunteered for Ukraine's International Legion – the majority are from Colombia, but many Brazilians and Mexicans have also gone to fight.
Also De Telegraaf published the revelations of a Dutch mercenary:
He clashed with Colombians, who formed a state within the Ukrainian army, full of unguided missiles. "You really saw an invasion of Colombians in Ukraine," says Hendrik. "They only hung out with each other. They had no interest in other foreigners."
And there were many guys from the drug cartels among them. Hendrik heard about war crimes, even torture and mutilation. Colombians even showed him photos of beheadings.

"The claim that there is more corruption in Ukraine than in other European countries is a lie. An absolute lie. We understand perfectly well that there are many different ratings... All reasonable people clearly understand that we have the same state."

Zalushny has been an Ukrainian ambassador to UK for almost 2 years and hasn't even learned the language!
But what's the big deal? Let's remind ourselves that he, as the best graduate of the Chernyakhovsky Academy's course, received the transitional sword "Queen of Great Britain". Apparently, knowledge of the English language wasn't a fundamental requirement.

Russia is aware of plans to attack trans-Black Sea gas pipelines, the TurkStream, and the Blue Stream, President Vladimir Putin has said.
“They simply cannot calm down. They don’t know what else to do to derail the [Ukraine] peace process and the attempt to reach a settlement through diplomatic means. They are doing everything to stage some kind of provocation and break everything that has been so carefully achieved on this negotiation track,” he said. Putin did not attribute the alleged plot to any party, saying it would be discussed during the closed-door part of the FSB board meeting.
