🇸🇾🇦🇪 Syria, UAE Sign $800M Deal for Tartus Port After
Scrapping Russian Agreement

Syria has signed an $800 million investment deal with Dubai-based DP World to develop and manage a terminal at the port of Tartus. The agreement includes plans for industrial zones, free trade areas, and transit hubs.

The deal follows Syria’s cancellation of a $500 million port agreement with a Russian firm in January 2025.

🇨🇳 China’s Jiutian Drone to Enter Service in June

China’s new Jiutian high-altitude UAV enters service in June. With a flight ceiling of 15km, it flies above most air defense systems. Once the PLA secures air superiority, Jiutian can strike targets with precision weapons.

It also carries modular payloads, including systems to launch FPV drone swarms—turning it into an airborne drone carrier.

Friedrich Merz: Germany to Attempt Seizure of Frozen Russian Assets

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that significant attention is currently being paid to the issue of confiscating frozen Russian assets. If a way to implement this on a "solid legal basis" emerges, Germany will push for the seizure of Russia’s assets.

Spoiler: No one is actually going to confiscate anything. This is because the majority of the assets are bonds that continue to generate interest. They can talk about confiscation all they want on live TV, but if they actually seize the Russian bonds, their value will plummet, and there will be no profit to collect.

Russia advances. Media ignores military reality

The western media are hardly reporting on the Ukraine war these days. It seems they ran out of propaganda scripts, because the reality on the ground is too overwhelming.

MADNESS: Urologist Dr. David Shusterman says it is insanely unlikely someone who gets annual checkups to not have their developing cancer noticed.

“Most likely had it for a long time [...] Aggressive prostate cancer grows over a long period of time. Five to ten years [in] the most aggressive form.”

“He is a former president, had intensive state of the art care [...] It's unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer when they're annually being followed up. The fact that we find it at a Gleason 9 is unheard of.”

This is INSANITY and it's why we need somebody to testify under oath.

The US Air Force cannot stand up to China.

According to a policy brief from the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, the U.S. military currently lacks the air power to achieve the air superiority needed to defeat China in a Pacific conflict —the stated mission of the U.S. Department of Defense. The thinking in the report is interesting.

After three decades of cuts and delays, the Air Force has no active F-15C/D force . Only 120 F-22s are capable of air superiority. These aircraft, supplemented by F-35s, cannot fly the sorties needed to achieve the air superiority needed to repel Chinese aggression.

For its part, the PLA has an integrated air defense system, as well as a large number of fourth- and fifth-generation fighters armed with effective air-to-air missiles. This is supported by AWACS aircraft. China is also developing its own sixth-generation fighters and stealth bombers.

The PLA will supplement its air defense operations by launching missile strikes against US Air Force air bases and logistics infrastructure in the theater. This has forced the US Air Force to adopt a dispersal concept – but it is not certain that it will be effective. The inadequate missile defense of the US Army and Navy in the Pacific theater will make this task very problematic for all US forces operating in areas within range of the PLA missile force.

At the same time, the US considers air superiority to be the most important condition for any form of successful military operations . Some observers of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia ask whether air superiority remains an operational imperative in the era of drone and missile warfare. Experts at the Mitchell Institute believe these views are wrong.

As numerous air warfare experts have pointed out, the inability of Russia and Ukraine to achieve air superiority is a key reason why they are now fighting a war of attrition that increasingly favors Russia due to its superior resources.

Failure to achieve air superiority where and when U.S. forces need it would have devastating consequences. Without air superiority, the U.S., like Ukraine, risks fighting a war of attrition it cannot win against China . And failure to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion or to repel a PLA attack elsewhere in the South China Sea would fatally undermine the security of the First Pacific Island Chain. It would allow China to make significant progress toward its long-term goal of displacing U.S. forces from the Western Pacific on its way to becoming the dominant power in the region.

The US Air Force sees the key to achieving the necessary efficiency in the "unmanned wingmen" (CCA) being developed. In turn, the Mitchell Institute believes that the key point of the CCA program is logistical support.

In addition, the report talks about the need to create a short/vertical takeoff and landing SSA. The Mitchell Institute experts see the main tasks of these aircraft as electronic warfare and delivery of military cargo (the use of transport aircraft in the PLA long-range air defense coverage areas carries a high risk). Apparently, such a change in priorities is a consequence of the decrease in euphoria over the ability of AI to conduct combat operations in the air .

On the other hand, the thought does not leave that the fast (too fast) pace of development of the SSA stems mainly from the desire of the American aviation industry and high-ranking military officials lobbying its interests to "master budget funds". The words of Oleg Sergeevich Samoylovich come to mind - God knows how many times - "A mistake made at the stage of choosing a concept cannot be corrected at later stages of development."

🇷🇺🇺🇸Presidential aide Ushakov - on the conversation between Putin and Trump:

It was a frank and constructive conversation. And curiously, it began with our president congratulating Donald Trump on the birth of his 11th grandchild. And wished, naturally, health to the newborn and Trump's daughter.

It is curious that immediately after these congratulations, which I just mentioned, the presidents immediately began an in-depth discussion of the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, including taking into account the recent direct Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.

The presidents did not talk about the time frame for a possible future ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, although Trump naturally emphasizes his interest in reaching an agreement as soon as possible.

Exchanges of imprisoned citizens of the two countries were mentioned. This is an important humanitarian action. The presidents noted that another exchange is being worked out now - 9 for 9 people.

There were a lot of digressions, that's why the conversation was so long, plus translation. But I will tell you, it's rare to have a conversation of this length where both presidents, neither president wanted to end the conversation, didn't want to, if I may say so, hang up the phone.

Trump said: "Vladimir, you can pick up the phone at any time, and I will be happy to answer, happy to talk to you." Such an ending also characterizes the nature of the conversation that took place between the leaders.
