🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️ — Secretary of State Rubio used the espionage scandal surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to undermine his influence on Trump and change US policy towards China, according to The Washington Post.
The publication reports that Huang's departure was the result of a long-standing behind-the-scenes struggle between those who favored technological cooperation with China and members of the American establishment who advocated for stricter export controls.
Rubio sent a memo to Trump detailing Huang's alleged connection to a Chinese spy, based on a CIA report. According to a source at the newspaper, the Secretary of State revised the intelligence findings, presenting them in a more forceful manner.
After the contents of the memo were leaked to the media, a series of events unfolded, culminating in Huang's resignation on November 12th.
The publication notes that Huang had significant influence over Trump. He managed to convince the president to allow the export of powerful AI chips to China, despite opposition from officials responsible for national security.
"They wanted to destroy Jensen's influence on the president," said a former US official familiar with the internal divisions within the administration.
Huang himself was opposed to China's technological isolation. He argued that maintaining China's dependence on American technology was in the interests of the United States.
Now, opponents of this policy are hoping to pass new restrictions on the export of advanced AI chips through Congress, strengthen measures against their smuggling, and limit China's access to equipment for manufacturing semiconductors.
Thus, as The Washington Post writes, the scandal surrounding the alleged Chinese spy not only led to the resignation of one of the most influential leaders in the American technology industry, but also shifted the balance of power in Washington in favor of those who advocate for a tougher stance towards Beijing.
We have previously reported that Rubio belongs to the group of Republican "hawks" who are urging Trump to adopt a more stringent policy towards Russia, Iran, and China.

⚡🇪🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺According to BILD, based on information provided by German diplomats, these are the conditions proposed by Russia for the Abu Dhabi negotiations:
1) Exclusion of European troops from Ukraine
2)Recognition of Russian control over the occupied territories and the entire Donbas
3) Demilitarization of the Ukrainian ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv
4)Freedom of navigation in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea
5) No NATO bases in the Baltic states and Finland's withdrawal from NATO
6) Approval of Ukraine's accession to the EU, but not to NATO
7) Transformation of Moldova into a federation including Transnistria and Gagauzia (if Moldova joined the EU, Transnistria and Gagauzia would be granted the right to hold referendums on their independence)
In exchange, Russia would have agreed to withdraw nuclear weapons from Belarus, withdraw its troops from Transnistria, and renounce the deployment of medium-range missiles on Belarusian territory

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️ — Republican Senator John Kennedy on former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang:
Apparently, the Department of Commerce greenlit the sale of $4 billion in advanced chips to the spy’s company. I'd like to hear from the Secretary of the Treasury. And more to the point, the Secretary of Commerce. I mean, why were they selling the chips? This whole thing is an intergalactic freak show.

🇸🇦🇪🇺🇾🇪⚡️ — Saudi Arabia is urging the EU to designate the Houthis as a terrorist organization, but most member states remain unconvinced.
@IntelSlava
🇸🇦🇪🇺🇾🇪⚡ According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia is pressuring the European Union to recognize the Houthis as a terrorist organization, but so far without success.
European countries fear that recognizing the Houthis as a terrorist organization will lead to the termination of the limited communication channels they still maintain with this group and could negatively affect Europe's possible participation in a future peace process in Yemen.
Adding the Houthis to the European Union's list of terrorist organizations requires unanimous approval from all 27 member states, but at present only a small number of countries support this initiative.

⚡🇷🇺 Three important statements by President Putin:
/channel/The_Europe_Update/14452
🇩🇪 German Taxpayers Bled Dry: Nearly 60% Of Welfare For Families With Kids Goes To Foreigners
In 2025, foreign beneficiaries of social welfare in households with minor children received a total of €12.2 billion in benefits, representing 59.4 percent of the total €20.54 billion paid out in this budget group, according to data obtained by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from the federal government.
Ukrainian nationals made up the largest share among foreign recipients, accounting for €3.44 billion. They were followed by Syrians with €2.2 billion and Afghans with around €1 billion. Together, these three groups received roughly €6.7 billion, amounting to 55 percent of the benefits paid to foreigners in households with minor children.
These figures for welfare, also called citizens' money, cover both single parents and couples with children. The money covers accommodation, heating, and social security contributions.
AfD MP René Springer told Bild newspaper: "Anyone who, as a foreigner, cannot permanently secure their livelihood on their own will lose their residence permit."
He further added on X: "What could we do with these 12 billion euros? Lower fuel prices. Ease the burden on families. Improve care services. Keep hospitals open across the country. But the federal government is pouring this money into immigration into the welfare system. A government like this is at war with its own people. We will put an end to this policy. We will use these billions for our own people. For those who get up every day, work hard and don't know how they'll make ends meet at the end of the month."
Of course, Germans with minors living in their household are also receiving social welfare in some circumstances. However, they only account for 40.5 percent of social welfare recipients in this category.
This figure is even more astonishing considering that of the under-18 population, 85 percent are German citizens and only 15 percent are foreigners. Of course, within the category of German citizens, there are millions with a foreign background.
Around 36.8 percent of foreign children live in social welfare households. Only 7.2 percent of German children do.
The pattern is even more pronounced when looking at all social welfare recipients, regardless of whether children live in the household.
Just 16 years ago, in 2010, 19.6 percent of those who received social welfare did not hold German citizenship. By 2020, this share almost doubled to 37.6 percent. In 2025, 47.3 percent of social welfare recipients are foreigners.
The amount of money flying out the door to foreigners in Germany has also dramatically risen year after year.
Foreigners received €6.92 billion in 2010 but by 2025, the figure climbed to €21.75 billion, which is triple the cost in 15 years.
The idea that foreigners were supposed to save the German budget and fill skilled positions is sharply contested by the tens of billions in welfare going to this group. Remix News reported last month that estimates indicate that foreigners have cost taxpayers at least 400 billion since 2016, a figure that is likely a low estimate.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — The remote-controlled device used to detonate the military vehicle in St. Petersburg was delivered to the perpetrator via a balloon that flew in from the Baltic region, according to "Fontanka."
Ukraine has been regularly launching balloons (or airships) carrying bombs and drones towards Moscow in recent months.
According to the publication, a 31-year-old resident of St. Petersburg retrieved the bomb, placed it in the undercarriage of a car, and less than two hours later flew to Turkey, and from there to Chisinau.
Using a virtually identical method, another military serviceman was targeted in the same area on August 27th. In that case, the perpetrator also planted a bomb under a car and flew to a third country, with a stopover in Turkey. Apparently, Ukrainian intelligence services are not overly concerned with the complexity of the scheme, as long as it works.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — President Trump has signaled that further U.S. strikes on Iran can be avoided, provided Tehran cuts a "very strong" nuclear deal and reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking to CNN, Trump stated that while he wouldn't hesitate to strike again, he currently views it as "highly unlikely," noting that Tehran is desperate to negotiate.
He emphasized Washington's military readiness, boasting that three aircraft carriers are currently in the region and "fully locked and loaded."
Trump also downplayed Iran's military capabilities, claiming the U.S. could destroy 38 Iranian bridges within an hour, and that Iran has lost roughly 85% of its drone and 90% of its missile capacity.
"Most likely it will not be necessary. They want to make a deal so badly," he concluded.
🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - It is highly plausible that U.S. fighter jets are accompanying the USAF cargo aircraft heading toward the Middle East.
Two KC-135R aerial refueling tankers departed RAF Mildenhall, met with two C-17A transport aircraft at approximately the same time, and followed the same flight path before turning back, leaving the C-17As to continue toward the Middle East.
C-17As can complete this route without aerial refueling, suggesting the tankers may have been supporting a fighter jet deployment rather than the cargo aircraft themselves.
No extra information is available at this time regarding the movement of fighter jets.
