◾While Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization — posting on Truth Social “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” — CNBC’s Sara Eisen had one pressing question for analyst Mike Santoli on Money Movers: is this good or bad for investors?

“This deadline that President Trump has set, 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization,” Eisen said. “How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?” This is capitalism in its rawest form — genocide as a market variable.

The Kremlin will not congratulate Magyar on his victory in Hungary's parliamentary elections; it is an unfriendly country, Peskov stated.

Russia is cooperating with this unfriendly country and is building two nuclear power plant units there at a cost of €12 billion, using Russia's own €10 billion loan. Why? Is this naivety or sabotage? Besides, energy prices for Hungary should be the same as for an unfriendly country, I think.

Hungary will continue to purchase oil from Russia, Magyar stated.

He also noted that he sees no point in revising the government's earlier decision not to participate in financing the EU's €90 billion loan to Ukraine.

Furthermore, Magyar spoke out against Ukraine's accelerated accession to the EU.

Brussels will seek a majority vote on EU foreign policy issues.

"This is an important way to avoid systemic blockages, as we have seen in the past. And we must now truly use the momentum we have gained to move forward on this issue," von der Leyen said 🤡


The EU intends to overcome Hungary's blocking of $90 billion to support Ukraine's war against Russia.

The American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has entered the Gulf of Oman and is positioned east of the Strait of Hormuz, the BBC reported, citing European satellite imagery.

The images show the USS Abraham Lincoln positioned on the eastern edge of the Gulf of Oman, approximately 200 kilometers south of the Iranian coast.

This is the closest an American aircraft carrier has entered to the Persian Gulf since the start of the military operation against Iran, the BBC reports.

Professor John Mirsheimer on the blockade of the U.S. Naval Strait that started this evening:

White House pool reporter Ateba said Trump will be impeached before the end of this year:

Trump on the US blockading the Strait of Hormuz:

China said it would continue to use the Strait of Hormuz, conduct energy deals with Iran and maintain its naval presence in the region, warning the United States against interference.

Hillary Clinton:

"Trump has completely lost his mind, and we need to talk about it."

This time, Trump's impeachment is guaranteed. Unless, of course, he starts a nuclear war first.

Over the past 36 hours, approximately 15-20 vessels have transited the Strait of Hormuz with the consent of Iran.

Most of the vessels were owned by or affiliated with China, Russia, or Pakistan.

All are nuclear-armed.

Trump forgot to clarify here that all these ships belong to Iran's allies 😂🤡

Donald Trump: "We cannot give nuclear weapons to a group of people who have caused nothing but chaos for 47 years."

It was the US and Israel who convinced this "group of people" that they needed nuclear weapons by bombing Iran and declaring their intention to "destroy Iranian civilization." Trump will now have a very difficult time convincing Iran to agree to US demands.

Trump's big plans. There were also Greenland and Canada. But I think the Middle East will be Trump's "last tour."

"Donald Trump said he'll take on Cuba after the Iran operation is over."

Trump claims Iran contacted his administration earlier on Monday and expressed a strong desire to make a deal with the United States.

"This morning, we got a call from the right people (from Iran), the right people, and they want to make a deal... They really want a deal, they're just hungry for it," Trump said during a meeting with reporters outside the White House.

Trump's claims are becoming increasingly untrustworthy.

In response to Zarubin's question about the fate (after the Hungarian elections) of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, which Russia is building in Hungary, the head of Rosatom said that Russia is building it "in the interests of the Hungarian people."


How this reconciles with Peskov's statement that Hungary is an unfriendly country, a NATO and EU member, which has approved sanctions against Russia, and is a transit hub for arms shipments to Ukraine, I don't know.

EU sets 27 CONDITIONS for Hungary’s new PM to unfreeze €35 billion FUNDS — FT

It includes unblocking €90 billion loan to Ukraine, lifting veto on sanctions package against Russia, as well as anti-corruption checks and reversal of Orban-era decisions deemed to violate EU rules

The EU, through its arms supplies to Ukraine, has become complicit in the crimes and terrorist attacks committed by Ukrainian militants, Vasyl Nebenzya stated at a UN Security Council meeting.

He added that the European Union is moving away from the post-war idea of a united Europe toward building "another Reich," and expressed hope for "sober heads" within the union's member states.


Indeed. And this Reich has been built and is preparing for another „Marsch nach Osten“

Between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, the Ministry of Defense reported downing 90 enemy fixed-wing UAVs. Videos from Cherepovets circulated online showing smoke near a complex mineral fertilizer plant. Drone alerts were issued overnight in several regions, and drones were shot down over the Rostov and Tula regions. Drone activity was high on the outskirts of Melitopol, and the enemy struck an energy infrastructure facility in the southern part of the Zaporizhia region.

Gerani UAVs struck targets in the Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions. A second strike was reported on the Vsesvit-Oil oil depot in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The video shows the aftermath of the strike on the oil depot near Dnipropetrovsk.
