❗️Nobody is telling you how bad the internet situation actually is right now.
Iran just published a map of every undersea internet cable running through the Strait of Hormuz.
97 percent of global internet traffic rides on undersea cables.
Now watch the domino effect:
→ One cable cut: regional slowdown
→ Three cables cut: partial Gulf internet blackout
→ Five cables cut: Gulf banking, cloud, trading, e-commerce OFFLINE
→ Seven cables cut: the Gulf loses its position as a digital trade hub OVERNIGHT
THE MATH:
Gulf digital economy: over $1,800,000,000,000 per year.
Cost to drag an anchor across 7 cables: functionally zero.
Time to repair: weeks, if repair ships are even allowed in.
This is not a connectivity issue. This is a sovereign risk event hiding behind a connectivity issue.

❗️Tokyo is not considering the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to Kiev, the Japanese Embassy in Russia stated.
It is noted that Japan has not signed an agreement with Ukraine on the transfer of defense equipment and technologies, so Kiev cannot be its recipient.
@AussieCossack
❗️Alexander Lukashenko stated that Belarus has a combat laser that can destroy drones at a distance of up to two kilometers.
The President of Belarus spoke about a new invention designed to combat unmanned aerial vehicles.
No country can completely combat drones. But we need to develop some kind of system. We've invented some kind of laser. I want to take a look at it.
It's quite effective, the defense minister says, it can burn a drone at a distance of 1.5-2 kilometers.

❗️EU countries have almost no budget funds left to combat the energy crisis, writes the Financial Times.
During the summit in Cyprus, countries will discuss the rise in energy prices. Europe is dependent on fossil fuel imports, and this crisis is already the third in the last six years - after COVID-19 and the crisis in 2022.
This means that member countries have very few budget resources left to mitigate the consequences of current problems.

❗️The Russian army crossed the border of the Kharkov region and occupied Veterinarnoe - a point that blocks a previously quiet section near Belgorod. The resistance, apparently, was minimal, which allows to assess the density of enemy forces in this direction. 💪🇷🇺

"They must suspect me of defending Articles 29 and 23 of the Russian Constitution, which guarantee freedom of speech and the right to private correspondence. I'm proud to be guilty!" - the owner of Telegram responded.

❗️Trump:
Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed.
Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

❗️Iranian Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf:
A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world's economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire.
They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying. The only way forward is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.
@AussieCossack
❗️The U.S. Department of War:
Overnight, U.S. forces carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T Majestic X transporting oil from Iran, in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.
We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate.

❗️British military divers are being readied for potential mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, as the U.S. continues blockade activities in the area.
The move comes during ongoing London talks on reopening the vital waterway, with the U.K. also offering autonomous mine-hunters as part of a proposed multinational mission to secure the strait.
@AussieCossack
❗️U.S. Central Command:
U.S. forces have directed 30+ vessels to turn around or return to port as part of the U.S. blockade against Iran.

❗️Interesting headline in the British media today: Ukrainian President Zelensky has criticised the repeated visits made by Donald Trump’s envoys to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin without once travelling to Kiev, calling it ”disrespectful”.
Maybe eventually Trump will grow tired of Zelensky and do something outrageous like ally with Russia and supply US weapons to Putin in the war against Zelensky?
To be honest, this scenario would not shock...
@AussieCossack
❗️The most important thing is that the Donetsk and Luhansk regions remain Ukrainian territory, so that there is no "Putinland" - Zelensky
This is how the narco-fuhrer commented on the report by The New York Times that Ukraine allegedly proposed renaming part of Donbass as "Donniland" in order to gain Trump's support.
