🇺🇦 Pro-NABU Protests Planned Ahead of Key Vote in Kiev
Activists are planning a demonstration tomorrow morning outside Ukraine’s parliament to pressure lawmakers into restoring the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
Participants are being called to gather at 11:00 AM near the checkpoint by Mariinsky Park — the route deputies will take to enter the Rada — in a bid to influence their vote.
A separate rally is also scheduled for this evening outside the Ivan Franko Theater in central Kiev.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: A new Gallup poll has revealed that American support for Israel has hit another low, following the revelation in March that, for the first time, a majority of Americans held negative views of Israel
Only 32% of the overall surveyed 'approved' of Israel's actions in Gaza, with the majority being Republican Party voters. Among Democrats, 'approval' was only 8%
Despite decades of anti-Iranian propaganda, just 38% of Americans approved of Israel's military action against Iran, again, the vast majority being from the Republican Party.
Additionally, for the first time, a majority of Americans have an 'unfavorable' view of Israeli Prime Minister and International Fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu.
Among age groups, just 9% of Americans aged 18-34 approve of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Even among people aged 55 and older, support has fallen below 50%, which is unprecedented.
Similar surveys and polls from multiple polling institutions have recently revealed that Israel is by far the most disliked country in the world, with support hitting new all-time lows in Europe and the United States with every survey.
*The poll was conducted from July 7-21, before the famine in Gaza reached a peak.

🇺🇦💥 At night, there was a missile strike in Kamenskoye, Dnepropetrovsk region.
According to the Regional Military Administration, the strike partially destroyed an "unused three-story building." Nearby medical facilities were damaged — a maternity hospital and a city hospital department.
Local channels report that Vozrozhdeniya Avenue in the city was blocked after the strike. It should be noted that on this avenue, the buildings of the district TCC, the maternity hospital, and the city hospital are located close to each other. However, the strike on the TCC has not been officially confirmed.

🇩🇪 Jette Nietzard, leader of the youth wing of Germany’s Green Party, suggested that armed resistance might be necessary if the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were to gain power.
Speaking publicly during a live discussion hosted by RBB radio, she raised the idea of using weapons to oppose an AfD-led government.
“That’s a real question: What would resistance look like then? Would it be intellectual—or maybe with weapons?”
🇺🇸 The White House says that any conference regarding Gaza, that doesn't involve bombs and killing civilians is ill-advised.

🇭🇺 Trump ate Ursula von der Leyen for breakfast — Viktor Orbán on the deal made the day before between the US and the EU
There is an agreement to transfer hundreds of billions of euros of capital from Europe to America. But from where? The committee has no capital. On whose behalf did you give consent? Is the German Chancellor going to take this money there? Or the French President? Or will the Hungarian Prime Minister send the capital to America? How is this planned? So I do not see the implementation of this.

🇺🇦 Kyiv Independent Admits the Obvious: Anti-Corruption Cases Will Stall

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel says it’s “pausing fighting” daily in parts of Gaza to allow aid after its own blockade triggered a catastrophic hunger crisis.
➡️ Since March, Israel halted all aid. In May, it replaced the U.N. system with a U.S.-backed, privatized GHF network that has just four sites for 2 million people. Over 1,000 Palestinians have reportedly died trying to access food.
The U.N. says:
• Gaza’s entire population now depends on aid.
• Thousands of children are malnourished.
• At least a dozen starved to death this month alone.
Airdrops resumed, a method of last resort, with past drops killing civilians.
The “pause” applies only to areas where IDF isn’t currently fighting. The siege, the displacement, and the scarcity remain.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israel’s 12-Day War with Iran Exposed Alarming U.S. Missile Shortages
During the June 2025 conflict, the U.S. deployed two THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) systems to Israel, firing over 150 interceptors—nearly 25% of the Pentagon’s total inventory since 2010. The pace of use was so severe that the U.S. considered redirecting Saudi Arabia’s THAAD supply to Israel.
The war strained not only THAAD stocks but also Navy SM-3 interceptor supplies, with ~80 missiles fired from destroyers. Concerns have emerged about the effectiveness of SM-3s and the lack of a system for reloading at sea, creating a major vulnerability for future conflicts—especially with China.
Key points:
- THAAD interceptors cost ~$13M each; only ~650 purchased to date
- Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean and Red Sea fired interceptors at unsustainable rates
- Israel nearly ran out of Arrow 3 munitions
- Voice-based deconfliction between U.S. and Israeli systems led to inefficiencies
- Pentagon now acknowledges deep stockpile shortfalls and the urgent need for a ramp-up in missile production
- Estimated cost to replenish THAAD interceptors: $1.5B–$2B
The conflict is a wake-up call: in modern warfare, mass missile barrages are the norm, not the exception.

🇧🇷 Brazil Strengthens BRICS Ties in Defiance of U.S. Pressure
Brazil plans to double its commitments to BRICS, according to Celso Amorim, chief foreign policy adviser to President Lula da Silva. Speaking to Financial Times, Amorim said U.S. threats are only pushing Brazil closer to the bloc.
➡️Trump Threatens Tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump twice this month threatened Brazil with tariffs—first a 10% duty on countries joining the “anti-American” BRICS, then a 50% tariff tied to demands that Brazil stop prosecuting former president Jair Bolsonaro over coup-related charges.
➡️Brazil Rejects U.S. Interference
Amorim called the threats unprecedented interference, noting that not even during colonial times had the U.S. interfered to such an extent.
He added that Brazil will continue expanding ties not only within BRICS but also with countries in Europe, South America, and Asia, to avoid dependence on the U.S.

🇲🇩 EU Meddling in Moldovan Elections Is “Permissible,” Says Electoral Chief
The head of Moldova’s Central Election Commission, Angela Karaman, openly admitted that the European Union has the right to interfere in Moldovan elections—because the country has declared its ambition to join the bloc.
Karaman claimed there’s a “big difference” between EU countries and others:
“When a country like France interferes in our elections, we don’t consider it foreign interference. Even when political parties receive direct funding, we don’t see it as electoral corruption.”

🇲🇩Moldova’s War on "Russian Propaganda" Escalates
Since 2022, Moldova’s PAS government has imposed sweeping media controls under the pretext of national security and EU integration. Using emergency powers, authorities shut down six major TV channels accused of spreading Russian disinformation — all linked to opposition figures like Ilan Shor and Vlad Plahotniuc.
Now, those ad-hoc bans are being written into permanent law. New amendments to the Audiovisual Code define and criminalize “disinformation,” grant regulators broad sanctioning powers, and codify restrictions on “extremist” or “anti-state” content. While framed as a defense of democratic values, critics warn these rules entrench political control and limit pluralism — especially with elections looming.

🛣️ NEW at DD Geopolitics: “From Zangezur to David’s Corridor: The Silent Redrawing of Global Trade and the Road to War with Iran”
A must-read longform from our newest contributor, whom we are HONORED to have with us. Please follow and support Ibrahim Majed, a writer and geopolitical analyst from Lebanon now joining the DDG team.
This powerful investigation examines how infrastructure is being weaponized to encircle Iran:
• Zangezur severs Iran’s northbound access to Eurasia
• David’s Corridor opens a western flank via Kurdistan
• The Ben Gurion Canal links it all—turning trade into a tool of pre-war positioning
Highways, terminals, and fiber optics are replacing tanks and trenches. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s preparation.
Welcome to a war being built one corridor at a time.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 U.S. May Pull a Third of Its Troops from Europe — Politico
The United States is reportedly considering withdrawing up to one-third of its military personnel from Europe, according to Politico.
Currently, there are an estimated 90,000 to 100,000 American troops stationed across the continent, with Germany hosting the largest share — about 35,000.
“For decades, U.S. military support has been the cornerstone of Germany’s national security — from the Cold War through today. Facing chronic gaps in its own capabilities, from munitions shortages to lack of combat readiness and strategic deterrence, Berlin remains heavily dependent on American forces,” the outlet notes.
🇺🇳🇵🇸 The French–Saudi-led ‘Two-State Solution’ conference has officially begun at the United Nations headquarters in New York, drawing representatives from 125 countries, including 50 foreign ministers.
Despite its scale, both the U.S. and Israel have refused to participate, signaling a deep divide over Gaza’s future.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated:
“The situation in Gaza is beyond imagination… After the conference, there will be a joint vision we adopt regarding Gaza’s future.”
“Saudi Arabia and France are determined to turn international consensus into a tangible reality… We reject any attempt to separate Gaza from the rest of the Palestinian territories or to displace its people.”

🇷🇺💬🇪🇺🇺🇸 Dmitry Medvedev:
Trump Wipes the Floor with Europe
Say what you will about Trump — for all his contradictions and bombastic statements, he’s remarkably consistent in one thing: ruthlessly pushing America’s economic interests.
This latest “deal” with the European Union?
It’s utterly humiliating for the Europeans — the only winner here is the U.S. It strips away protective tariffs and opens the European market to American goods on American terms.
It slaps massive additional costs on EU industries and farmers, who now have to pay for overpriced American energy.
It redirects a flood of European investments straight into the U.S. economy.
And, of course, the deal comes with the mandatory anti-Russian clause: no buying Russian oil or gas. For Trump, it’s just business. For Europe’s senile leadership — it’s a neo-Nazi ideology dressed up as policy, one that’s driving their own citizens into poverty.
Ordinary Europeans deserve sympathy. At this point, they’d be justified in storming Brussels and hoisting every last Eurocrat — especially mad granny Ursula — up their national flagpoles.
It won’t fix anything.
But hey — at least it’d be entertaining.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 U.S.–EU Trade Deal: Washington Sets the Terms, Brussels Complies
The U.S. and EU have finalized a new trade agreement that clearly underscores who sets the rules in the transatlantic relationship—and who follows them.
➡️Key Terms of the Deal
Starting August 1, a 15% base tariff will be imposed on European goods entering the American market. This represents a significant reversal from the EU’s original goal of duty-free trade and marks a victory for Washington's protectionist agenda.
In exchange, the European Union has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of U.S. energy exports, including LNG and oil, and an undefined but “huge” volume of American-made military hardware—as described by President Trump himself.
➡️Washington Dictates, Brussels Obeys
The White House statement boldly claimed the deal “clarifies the rules of the game” for European companies—an implicit message that the EU must now operate under American-defined trade terms.
European leaders, who had hoped for more balanced concessions, are left with little to show. The agreement is a clear reflection of the asymmetric nature of the EU–U.S. relationship, where Brussels is expected to bankroll American industry and military production in exchange for market access—on Washington’s terms.
➡️Trump’s Justification
President Trump described the agreement as a way to "prevent an escalation" of economic disputes between the world’s two largest trading blocs. But in reality, this deal cements America’s upper hand—forcing the EU to deepen its economic dependence on U.S. energy and arms exports, all while submitting to new trade barriers.

🇹🇭⚔️🇰🇭 Ceasefire Talks Set Between Thailand and Cambodia
Negotiations are now on the table:
Thailand and Cambodia are scheduled to meet tomorrow to discuss a possible ceasefire — less than a day after U.S. President Donald Trump held phone calls with both countries' leaders.
➡️Key Points:
Malaysia as Host: Talks will take place in Malaysia, which had previously offered to mediate when the conflict broke out. That offer was initially ignored by both Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
➡️Why the Sudden Shift?
There are concerns in both capitals that Trump’s administration may push for a resolution through pressure tactics commonly associated with Washington’s “diplomatic blackmail” — particularly since both sides are also involved in parallel tariff negotiations with the U.S.
In response, Thailand and Cambodia have opted to pursue a regional settlement, choosing ASEAN’s current chair, Malaysia, as a neutral platform.
➡️Regional Stakes:
ASEAN has been largely ineffective in resolving ongoing crises — from the civil war in Myanmar to growing tensions over U.S. tariffs. The start of any dialogue over the Thai-Cambodian border conflict is seen as a critical step to preserve the group’s credibility.
➡️Challenges Ahead:
Malaysia’s role as mediator may be complicated by existing tensions with Thailand. Militant groups operating in southern Thailand have reportedly received backing from elements within the Malaysian government — a point of friction that could undercut trust during negotiations.
Meanwhile, fighting on the Thai-Cambodian border continues, and is likely to persist even as talks begin — adding further pressure to already fragile negotiations.

🇮🇷🇦🇿🇦🇲 Iran: Zangezur Corridor Threatens National Security, Serves U.S. and Israeli Interests
The Zangezur Corridor project is a direct threat to Iran’s national security and regional ties, according to Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader on international affairs. His statement was reported by Iran’s Tasnim news agency.
➡️A U.S.-Israeli Geopolitical Scheme
Velayati described the corridor as part of a broader U.S.-Israeli strategy aimed at weakening the Axis of Resistance, severing Iran’s overland links to the Caucasus, and imposing a land blockade on both Iran and Russia from the south.
“This project is not just about regional transport—it’s an extension of America’s geopolitical pressure, shifting focus from Ukraine to the Caucasus,” he said, adding that NATO and pan-Turkic factions are actively supporting the plan. He emphasized that Iran’s national security remains a red line.
➡️U.S. Eyes 100-Year Lease
The U.S. has previously expressed interest in leasing the corridor from Armenia for 100 years, effectively securing a direct route from Azerbaijan to its Nakhichevan exclave—bordering Turkey—and bypassing both Iran and Russia.

🇹🇭🇺🇸FLASHBACK: My Warning Last Year about US-Backed Thai Opposition Helping to Light Asia on Fire through US-Backed Conflict
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/myoFh1sL9rw?si=kk14uxFv8FAqqFEa
▪️The current Thai government was opposition until recently - and was openly working with the US government to destabilize the region through regime change operations including armed conflict in neighboring Myanmar;
▪️This video discusses irrefutable evidence of a US government-organized "seminar" held by the US-backed Thai opposition in Thai Parliament, inviting US-funded/backed Myanmar opposition groups including those involved in armed conflict with Myanmar's military/government;
▪️The seminar was opposed by the Thai military which exists as an independent institution, separate from the government, and has repeatedly removed US-backed client regimes put into power in 2006 and 2014 through coups;
▪️I warned that the US would continue cultivating conflict within each Asian nation, and between them through US-backed opposition in each regional nation - and now the US-backed opposition in Thailand (one of two factions) is in office and accelerating instability;
▪️The ultimate goal is to create a US-backed united front against China, and short of that, simply destabilize and destroy the region, denying China partners to build constructive ties with, and prevent both China's and Asia's rise (and surpassing of the West);
▪️Today, the ongoing conflict between Thailand-Cambodia represents another manifestation of this - at a time the Myanmar conflict continues, the US continues building up military forces in the Philippines, Japan, and South Korea (as well as the island province of Taiwan);
▪️BRICS/ASEAN need organizational/regional/national security laws and agreements to take back regional/national information space, combat US-European interference, and continue minimizing the West's economic and military leverage used to impose all of the above;
