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."

🇾🇪 🤬 ZOG Figurehead 47 Doniel Jew Trumpstein brags on social media about bombing a gathering of Ansarullah moujahideen... But in reality... What his warplanes actually targeted... was a tribal gathering of Yemeni civilians on Eid al-Fitr. Fathers were murdered. Sons were murdered. Elders were murdered. This was a flagrant aggression against innocent families on one of Islam's highest and holiest days. It should be more obvious than ever now why we insult the Orange Oaf with the "Trumpstein" moniker. Because he's as unabashedly ignorant; arrogant; bloodthirsty; and blood-soaked as any of the Jews that he sold his soul to. 🇾🇪 🤬

🇺🇦🤫 We Lie Because the Truth Would Break Them: Ukraine’s Final Gaslight

Straight from the horse’s mouth. Ukraine’s own military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, in a cold-blooded interview, openly admits that they lie to the Ukrainian people, because the truth would be too harsh. His exact words: “We do not tell the public the truth. The real situation is much worse.” Let that sink in.

And for this performance of industrial-scale delusion, Zelensky awarded Budanov the title “Hero of Ukraine”—the country’s highest honor. You can’t make this up. The man confesses to orchestrating a national deception campaign, and Zelensky pins a medal on his chest.

This isn’t wartime morale management. This is mass psychological warfare, against their own people. The so-called defenders of Ukrainian sovereignty are running an op where Ukrainians are the target audience for state-sanctioned fiction. As cities burn, electricity fails, and entire generations are shattered at the front lines, Kiev feeds its people fairy tales written in London and Washington.

The bitter irony? The West cheers it on. NATO knows the truth. The Pentagon knows the truth. Even Ursula von der Leyen’s Botox can’t hide it anymore. But they all play along—because the lie serves the empire. It delays the inevitable collapse. It buys a few more weeks of proxy war dividends. A few more weapons contracts. A few more body bags.

Meanwhile, Budanov brags about sabotage ops in Russia, as if dragging the region further into the abyss will somehow reverse the battlefield reality. It won’t. Russia’s advance is both methodical and unstoppable. This isn’t 2022 anymore. This is mop-up, total victory mode.

The tragedy is that Ukraine could have saved itself, twice. First in 2014. Then again in 2022, when Russia was ready to negotiate, when Turkey hosted peace talks. But Anglo-American planners needed the Slavic bloodbath to continue. They needed Russia bled, regardless of the price Ukrainians paid. The price was sovereignty. Then men. Then land. Now, even truth itself is sacrificed on the altar of Western hegemony.

Budanov’s confession isn’t just an admission. It’s a eulogy for Ukraine as a nation with agency. When your leaders hide the truth because “the public can’t handle it,” you’re no longer in a soverign nation. You’re in a psychological prison. And the jailers wear medals.

The “Hero of Ukraine” lies to his people. He has the audacity to admit the fraud. Ukraine was sacrificed for Western lies, fraud.

In a notable development, France and Denmark signed a “strategic partnership” agreement that reaffirms France’s support for Denmark’s territorial integrity. The agreement comes amid an ongoing Danish-American spat involving Greenland.

The French government’s press release specifically mentions Greenland, as does its apparent openness to increased US involvement in the Danish autonomous territory. However, the passage stresses that any such expansion must be “through dialogue with the Danish authorities.”
