🇺🇸🚨 What authority does BORTAC have inside the United States?
The unit seen in this video is BORTAC, the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, a paramilitary federal force under U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which is part of Department of Homeland Security.
BORTAC is not a general police force. Its core mandate is border security, immigration enforcement, counter-narcotics, and counter-terrorism, not routine civilian policing.
So why are they detaining U.S. citizens?
CBP claims expanded authority:
• Within 100 miles of any U.S. border or coastline (which includes most major cities)
• Under federal task forces, emergency orders, or national-security justifications
• When alleging federal crimes (e.g. interference with federal officers or property)
However, BORTAC has no ordinary crowd-control or municipal policing role. Its domestic deployment against civilians exists in a legal gray zone often technically permitted, but deeply contested.
BORTAC is trained for high-risk tactical operations, not public order policing. You can see their lack of training in the video.
Know your rights and try to stay safe.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸Ukraine has handed over the largest lithium deposit in the country to investors linked to Trump, writes The New York Times
Among the winners of the tender is billionaire Ronald S. Lauder, a longtime friend of Trump. As the NYT notes, it was he who previously "gave Trump the idea of buying resource-rich Greenland".
The publication emphasizes that the decision was made against the backdrop of a change in the nature of relations between Kyiv and Washington:
"Since Trump's return to power, the US-Ukraine alliance has taken on an openly commercial character."
The article also notes that Kyiv "is seeking to strengthen its position in relations with Trump, betting on his deal-oriented approach", offering American investors access to strategic resources.
We are talking about the Dobra lithium deposit, one of the largest in the country. Under the terms of the agreement, half of Ukraine's income from the project will be directed to a joint US-Ukrainian investment fund, created as part of a previous deal on mineral resources.
The NYT separately points out that real extraction and profit are a matter of the distant future:
"It usually takes about 15 years from the discovery of a deposit to the start of extraction."

🇺🇸At today’s press conference, Naughty Kristi Noem has doubled down her lies that the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by a federal immigration agent was in response to “an act of domestic terrorism”.
The homeland security secretary said that the officer who killed Good was “following his training” when he shot the 37 year-Old.
She says,
These individuals had followed our officers all day, had harassed them, had blocked them in. They were impeding our law enforcement operations, which is against the law, and when they demanded and commanded her [Good] to get out of her vehicle, several times, she did not.

🇪🇺🇺🇸The President of the European Council, António Costa, stated that the European Union cannot tolerate violations of international law, whether in Cyprus, Latin America, Greenland, Ukraine, or Gaza:
"Europe is not just a geographical concept. It is a community of values. Our collective strength is based on a thriving economy and increased investments in defense. Yes, but above all, it depends on the consistency with which we uphold these values. That is why the European Union cannot tolerate violations of international law, whether in Cyprus, Latin America, Greenland, Ukraine, or Gaza."
By the way, his country Portugal recognized Kosovo in 2008, as an independent state although it is a part of Serbia and was occupied by NATO since 1999. So much for "European values and international law".

🇯🇵 Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed that challenges to the international order are intensifying.
She pointed to growing military capabilities in China and North Korea, as well as deepening cooperation between China and Russia and between Russia and the DPRK. What goes unmentioned is that Japan itself remains effectively under U.S. military occupation, while Washington is the primary actor encroaching on China’s and North Korea’s security space through bases, exercises, and alliance pressure.
Against this backdrop, Tokyo’s increasingly open talk of accelerated militarization appears less like “defense” and more like alignment with U.S. escalation strategy in the Indo-Pacific.
Similar calls for remilitarization are now coming from both Japan and Germany — a combination that does nothing to ease global tensions. History has already shown where such trajectories can lead, and it did not end well.

Our nuclear potential and the likelihood of its use in accordance with our new nuclear doctrine are factors that temper some people’s excessive enthusiasm. Russia today is a major nuclear power capable of protecting itself and its allies. It could also act preemptively, if need be. All in all, nuclear weapons provide the best national security guarantee these days, which is more effective than diplomacy or money. Let’s be honest here, if a country doesn’t have them, it will double down on nuclear research or enter into military alliances with reliable allies. Which is exactly what Russia and Belarus did back in the day

🇺🇸 BREAKING! ICE Shot and Killed a Legal Observer in Minneapolis — Video Challenges DHS Claims
ICE shot and killed a woman acting as a legal observer during an operation in a Minneapolis neighborhood. Homeland Security later claimed she attempted to run over officers, but video from the scene raises serious doubts.
The footage shows ICE vehicles suddenly pulling up and surrounding her car as she attempts to turn around and leave. Agents shout conflicting commands, including orders to exit the vehicle, while positioning themselves along the driver’s side.
The woman attempts to drive away, after which an agent opens fire, shooting her multiple times.
Witnesses say a doctor at the scene tried to provide medical aid to the woman after she was shot, but ICE agents refused to let him approach. An ambulance arrived roughly 15 minutes later but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had taken over the street.
Witnesses report that agents later carried a limp body to the end of the street, where it was finally loaded into the ambulance.

🇨🇳💬🇯🇵 China Tightens Export Controls on Japan
China’s Ministry of Commerce has announced a sharp escalation in export controls against Japan, imposing a blanket ban on all dual-use goods.
The move is justified by Beijing as necessary to protect national security and state interests, and to uphold international non-proliferation commitments. In practical terms, the decision is uncompromising: exports of dual-use items to Japanese military users are prohibited, as are any supplies intended for military purposes or that could strengthen Japan’s military capabilities — regardless of any nominally “civilian” end user.
China also warned that any companies or individuals, including those from third countries, attempting to re-export or bypass the ban will face legal consequences under Chinese law.
The message is clear: Beijing is no longer willing to tolerate Tokyo’s increasingly open anti-China rhetoric and Taiwan-related provocations. Economic and technological leverage will be used decisively, and “business as usual” with Japan in sensitive sectors is coming to an end.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Arrestovich: Western “Peacekeepers” Meant to Contain Ukraine, Not Confront Russia
Arrestovich says the West plans to deploy “peacekeepers” not against Russia, but to prevent a civil war in Ukraine, especially during elections, and to monitor violations by Ukrainian forces along the front line.
According to him, these would be stabilization forces, similar to those deployed in Bosnia. The West, he argues, understands the realities of postwar states: around 1.5 million unregistered automatic weapons, roughly a million veterans, a breakdown of legal authority, deep political and social divisions, and limited resources. In that context, stabilization forces are seen as necessary, even if they are publicly framed as being “against Russia.”
Arrestovich stressed that 10,000–15,000 troops pose no threat to Russia. Even 50,000 would not be a serious contingent; only 150,000–200,000 would qualify. A force of 10,000–15,000, he said, would mainly patrol around central election commissions, act as observers along the line of separation, and record violations by the Ukrainian side. “Ukraine is simply not trusted,” he stated.
He argues that all conditions for a civil war already exist in Ukraine, warning of potential large-scale street unrest in Odessa, Kiev, Vinnitsa, Zhitomir, and Lvov. In his view, a Western contingent stationed on the right bank of the Dnepr would reduce the risk of such unrest.
Arrestovich also warned of a possible split within the military, citing a confrontation between figures like Biletsky and Budanov on one side and Zaluzhny and career officers aligned with him on the other. He said the way the Third Corps, formed by former Azov members, treats professional officers and imposes its ideology is pushing regular officers to consolidate around Zaluzhny.
He described a scenario in which rival “heroes of Ukraine” could begin attacking each other with firearms, grenades, or FPV drones. The presence of French, Turkish, or British troops near central election commissions and on patrols, he said, would at least partially stabilize the situation, since even the most radical actors would hesitate to openly kill “allies.”
He also views such a deployment as a tool to ensure Ukraine complies with its obligations under a future peace deal. According to Arrestovich, the Minsk process demonstrated that Ukrainian forces repeatedly violated agreements, not only due to alleged Russian provocations but also due to actions by Ukrainian units themselves. Observers and foreign troops, he said, would be needed to prevent Ukraine from undermining a peace settlement under revanchist slogans.
Arrestovich believes Russia also has an interest in this arrangement. He claims Moscow understands that the goal is to prevent a civil war in Ukraine and would agree to such a deployment if appropriate agreements are reached, which he suggested are already close.
Russia officially remains strongly opposed to the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine. There is currently no indication of any change in Moscow’s public position.
