Will Russia Help Defend Iran Against a US/Israel Attack? https://sonar21.com/will-russia-help-defend-iran-against-a-us-israel-attack/

The US is adopting a new tactic in the fight against Yemen's Houthis. The latest US air strikes did not target a military target, but a reservoir near Hodeida that supplies fresh water to more than 50,000 people.

While the Houthis have long been accustomed to attacks on their targets and have learned to fight them well, dispersing warehouses and equipment, as well as constantly changing their location, the targeted destruction of civilian infrastructure could become a serious problem.

It is unlikely that this will lead to a social explosion and the collapse of the Houthi regime in northwestern Yemen, but the fact is that such actions will greatly increase the number of civilian casualties, including among the most vulnerable groups (primarily children).

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Europe explores using NATO resources to send 'peacekeepers' to Ukraine — Financial Times

- We are talking about NATO command and control structures, common intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. In particular, E-3 Awacs airborne early warning and surveillance aircraft.

- This idea is seen as an opportunity to indirectly involve the United States in this initiative and secure Washington's "tacit support."

- "If we are going to deploy forces and assets of dozens of countries in Ukraine, then NATO is the only option," one official said.

General Cavoli’s Schizophrenia on Ukraine https://sonar21.com/general-cavolis-schizophrenia-on-ukraine/

🇷🇺🇺🇸 When the Bear Roars, the Eagle Listens

Following his high-level talks in Washington, Russian Special Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev offered a cautiously optimistic assessment of US-Russia relations, stating that over the past 48 hours, the two sides had taken “three steps forward.” According to Dmitriev, significant progress has been made toward a Ukraine ceasefire agreement, though he noted that several actors, unnamed but implied (Kiev's masters in London and Paris?), are actively working to sabotage the fragile channel of dialogue between Moscow and Washington.

While notable differences persist, both delegations are reportedly working to bridge the gaps. The Trump administration, Dmitriev emphasized, has shown it is willing to listen to Russia’s position and take its core security concerns seriously, something that was unthinkable during the Biden era’s ideological Cold War revivalism.

The discussions were not limited to Ukraine. Talks extended into cooperation in strategic areas like the Arctic and rare earth metals, hinting at a wider scope of interests and mutual benefit beyond the battlefield. Further meetings are anticipated, with dates to be announced soon. In a diplomatic overture, Dmitriev also extended an invitation for US officials to visit Russia.

❗️The Biden-era fog of Russophobia is lifting at least within Trump's foggy bottom. Washington and Moscow are back in the room, talking peace, not because the empire grew wise, but because Russia won the war it wasn’t supposed to survive. Dmitriev’s visit signals not weakness, but strength. The West is calling frantically and Russia calmly decides now it will pick up the phone, and Moscow is dictating terms.

🇺🇸❌🇺🇸📡Washington Pulls the Plug: Radio Liberty’s Satellite Broadcast to Russia Terminated

In a quiet move with loud implications, the US government has switched off the satellite broadcasting Radio Liberty into Russia. According to the outlet’s CEO Stephen Kapus, the US Agency for Global Media abruptly terminated the contracts, effectively silencing one of its key Cold War-era propaganda arms.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about budget cuts or technical issues. This is the empire admitting defeat in the information war it started. After pouring billions into color revolutions, regime-change psyops, and “freedom radio” for foreign ears, Washington is now pulling back, not because it wants to, but because it has no choice.

Russia, through robust information sovereignty laws and its growing independent media ecosystem, has rendered these tools obsolete. The bear learned to mute the parrot.

And the timing? The West’s narrative machines are running out of fuel. The world is no longer buying their recycled clichés about “democracy” and “freedom” when those very words are used to justify war, censorship, and the persecution of dissenters at home and abroad.

Radio Liberty’s silence isn’t the end of an era, it’s helping pave the end of the illusion.

Some Observations on Tariff Hysteria https://sonar21.com/some-observations-on-tariff-hysteria/

🇪🇺 Belgian MEP Marc Botenga shames Callass.

🇺🇦😥 Zelensky says more sanctions on Russia coming soon

Doesn’t reveal who’s imposing them

❗️Tens of thousands of sanctions have made Russia into an economic juggernaut, 4th largest in the world. So you're saying you want more Russian success? Are you weaponizing the Penguins to sanction Russia? I know they're angry after Trump tarrifed them, did you manage to blame it on Russia? You speak a similar dialect....

A child in Gaza holds the dolls of her martyred friends after an israeli airstrike targeted their home:

“These dolls belonged to their daughters. May God have mercy on them. Instead of going to school, they ended up in the grave. May God hold the jews accountable. God willing, a missile will hit them… I used to visit my friends. It’s heartbreaking."
