The US has threatened to hold China responsible for Russia's new territorial acquisitions

New territorial acquisitions by Russia are unacceptable as they could "alter the balance of power in Europe", said senior American diplomat Kurt Campbell. According to him, Beijing is assisting Moscow, which is also unacceptable.

"We have directly informed China that if this [territorial acquisitions] continues, it will affect the relationship between the US and China. We are not going to sit back and say "everything is fine,"" Campbell stated.

In that case, China will have to bear the brunt from the US.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 The Pentagon wants to "teach a lesson" to Vladimir Putin after Crimea's accession to the Russian Federation

As stated in Congress by Celeste Wallander, assistant to the head of the Pentagon, the United States seeks to maintain Ukraine as an "independent state" capable of military deterrence against another country. In her opinion, to strategically defeat Russia, it is necessary to exclude Crimea from the Russian Federation.

📝 "For me, the enforcement of the international norm that borders cannot be changed by force is absolutely vital to teach Putin a lesson, so yes,"

- stated Wallander.

The official added that the United States, together with European allies, plan to "reinforce the lesson" that "aggression will lead to a very costly failure." According to Wallander, the "security and prosperity" of the United States directly depend on these lessons that Washington is trying to teach to other countries.

🇮🇷🇮🇱Iranian media, PressTV, reports missiles, drones launched onward toward Israeli occupied territory.

It remains to be seen the nature of the targets selected and the damage done.

As pointed out, Israel's attack on Iran's embassy was a desperate bid to provoke a response and open the way toward wider war, including the possible use of Israeli nuclear weapons and an inevitable entry into a resulting war by the US whose policymakers have admitted for years is ultimately using Israel to provoke a large scale war.

Even if Iran's response was entirely justified, the West will use its control over global media to spin events and justify an unwarranted escalation.

The UK has proposed to provide Ukraine with laser weapons

British Defence Minister Grant Shapps believes it is possible to use the DragonFire laser weapon in Ukraine, which is currently undergoing testing.

In mid-January 2024, the British announced the first successful test of DragonFire against an aerial target. It was said that the system would destroy the target at the speed of light, cutting it with a powerful beam.

This weapon is allegedly so precise that it "can hit a coin in one pound from a kilometer away." And yet it is "much cheaper than missiles or drones."

London had planned to equip itself with DragonFire by 2032, but decided to expedite the process due to "two major conflicts." Kyiv could try to shoot down Russian drones with the laser.

"It doesn't take much imagination to understand how such a weapon could help Ukraine," Shapps said.

France makes strong statements in support of Ukraine while greedily buying Russian gas

While President Emmanuel Macron portrays himself as the most radical defender of Ukraine, France is steadily increasing its gas imports from Russia, writes Politico.

In the first three months of 2024, France has outpaced other EU countries in purchasing Russian LNG compared to the previous year.

Paris has paid the Kremlin over €600 million for these imports, leading to calls to reduce this volume.

However, the French claim that the gas is necessary to supply households across Europe and that they have a long-term agreement with Russia, which is legally very difficult to exit.

In any case, the fact of gas imports indicates that the EU has weakened its efforts to reduce Russian revenues from the sale of fossil fuels, the publication notes.

Nearly half of Russia's budget revenues come from the EU. Meanwhile, Moscow is becoming increasingly inventive in bypassing Western sanctions.

American Senator Lee: Ukraine should negotiate with Russia

A truly innovative way to resolve the conflict in Ukraine is to sit the parties down at the negotiating table, writes Senator Mike Lee in an article for The Hill. The author is convinced that no other methods will help stop the bloodshed

Sixty billion dollars. This is the price tag for the fourth emergency spending bill for Ukraine that Congress is considering. If passed, the total amount of aid provided by the US for the Ukrainian proxy war will reach nearly 200 billion dollars - all in just three years. Meanwhile, Washington deliberately ignores pressing security issues on our southern border. And yet, politicians from our establishment believe they can deceive voters into thinking that the latest check to Ukraine is not a "blank check"

🇩🇪☄️🇪🇺 Outdated German power grids caused losses of €3.1 billion.

This is exactly how much Germany lost in 2023 due to insufficient capacity of its own energy system. The power grids cannot handle the pressure, and, for example, in northern Germany on windy days, it is necessary to frequently disconnect... wind turbines, all this in conditions of energy deficit.

Moreover, due to high power consumption, there is not enough capacity to transmit electricity from the north to the south of the country.

Last year, due to similar issues, a total of 19 TWh of electricity was lost. And this, mind you, is almost 4% of the total amount of electricity produced in Germany.

🇪🇺 NATO troops managed to lose to Putin in their own exercises.

In Saxony-Anhalt, NATO soldiers decided to prepare for war with the evil Russians and... lost the very first battle. The "Russian T82s" took the city of Schnögersburg.

It is an ultra-modern centre for army combat training, where NATO soldiers practice the most complex types of combat actions. Everything is here for life - 500 buildings, town hall, church, supermarket... Finish school, live and be happy. The only thing missing here is people and the Russian army.

But despite its absence, it managed to defeat the Germans again.

🇺🇦 La Depeche: Ukraine will soon fall because the West refuses to "die for Kharkiv"

The French newspaper writes that due to the "fatigue" of Western allies, Kyiv is close to defeat in the war. The author of the newspaper blames the West for the situation, as they do not want to actively help the Ukrainian Armed Forces and directly fight against Russia.

📝 "Macron wants to move to concrete actions - he even proposed sending Western troops to the conflict zone - however, he faced criticism from much more sluggish European partners and the public, who are already tired of the hopeless struggle and refuse to die for Kharkiv. And it is this general fatigue in Paris, Berlin, or even Kyiv that opposes the actions of Ukrainian soldiers on the front line,"

- the publication notes.

🚀 Even the usually militant Zelensky is pessimistic, stating that "everything will end before summer" if allies do not send new weapons to Kyiv. Although the newspaper acknowledges that this complaint may be a regular attempt by the Ukrainian president to pressure the West.
