❗️Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met President Putin in Turkmenistan on the sidelines of the CIS leaders’ summit, where they discussed expanding strategic and economic cooperation in energy, agriculture, transportation and trade.
@AussieCossack
❗️Trump:
We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!
❗️Marco Rubio:
The Ukraine war is an extremely dangerous war because it seems to be a stalemate. Stalemates only end in two ways. One is a negotiated settlement.
The other way stalemates end is escalation. That's very dangerous. Escalation can quickly turn what is a war between two countries into a much broader and far more dangerous regional conflict.

❗️The Iran war has reportedly cost the U.S. at least $45 billion, while 81 American aircraft have been lost or damaged, according to a Congressional Research Service assessment.

❗️Ukraine has only received 2/3 of German aid; the remaining portion was spent in Germany itself – report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy
Of the €100 billion in aid: €57 billion is military support, and €43 billion is support for the civilian sector. However, of the announced "civilian" aid, approximately 80%, or €35 billion, was spent in Germany itself on social benefits for Ukrainian refugees.
The amount of military aid that Ukraine has already received from Germany is also lower than what Berlin has pledged, according to analysts.
@AussieCossack
❗️Senior Russian and U.S. officials held talks about involving an American investor in the "Nord Stream" pipeline project, according to Reuters, citing sources.
According to the report, the discussions included Jared Kushner, and Kirill Dmitriev.
@AussieCossack
❗️Senator James Paterson suspects Aussie Cossack has links to Russia because he is a resident of the Russian Consulate in Sydney.
😂Yeah no shit Sherlock.
🤫PS. Putin also has links to Russia bro.
@AussieCossack
❗️Liberal Party Senator Paterson who previously called for the "killing of Russians" has slammed the Greens for their policy of stopping all Australian military aid to Ukraine.
“What’s absolutely extraordinary that David Shoebridge and the Greens want Australia to abandon Ukraine and allow Russia and Vladimir Putin to run roughshod over Ukraine and extinguish their independence and their sovereignty. It is morally repugnant, and it is strategically reckless, particularly in a dangerous world.” - Senator Paterson told News24 on Thursday.
PS. Well done to the Greens for being the ONLY major political party in Australia to oppose funding and weapons to Zelensky. Pauline Hanson's One Nation would gain a lot more support if she also announced a similar pre-election commitment to stop all further Australian military aid to the Zelensky regime.
@AussieCossack
❗️The Pentagon has instructed CENTCOM to complete preparations for resuming major combat operations against Iran, U.S. officials told Axios.
@AussieCossack
❗️Russia has the most valuable soil on earth. That's part of the reason why for hundreds of years she has been fending off enemy invasions.
@AussieCossack
❗️😁💥 Last thing the enemies of Russia saw today was Vladimir Putin.
@AussieCossack
❗️French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot accused foreign-aligned accounts of trying to influence the narrative surrounding the student protests in France.
According to him pro-Russian accounts portray the protests as a sign of democratic collapse, pro-Israeli accounts link them to France’s recognition of Palestine, while pro-Iranian accounts compare them to Iran’s “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement.
Barrot said these groups are attempting to impose their own interpretation of events on France’s public debate.
🤡Again blaming Russia to cover their failures.
@AussieCossack
❗️If the United States proposes a conversation between Putin and Trump, the meeting will be quickly arranged, Peskov said.
@AussieCossack
❗️Overall, infrastructure in Kiev and 12 regions came under attack this night.
One of the key targets was our energy infrastructure. The Russians wanted to strike hard and make a show of force.
This was one of the most treacherous attacks: 70 missiles in total, many of them ballistic, as well as Shahed drones. Unfortunately, only part of them were shot down.
@AussieCossack
❗️Alexander Lukashenko congratulated Vladimir Putin on his birthday.
"Your fruitful and constructive work is an example of responsible and selfless service to the Motherland. The patriotism, strategic vision, and decisiveness that you possess contribute to the consistent defense of national interests, the preservation of unity among citizens, and the unwavering commitment of the Russian Federation to the path of sovereign development," the congratulatory message stated.
@AussieCossack
❗️Kiev in complete darkness.
Authorities warn the process of restoring electricity could take time. Residents who still have power have been urged to conserve electricity.
@AussieCossack
❗️Marco Rubio:
People sometimes view this call to invest more in defense as a hostile thing.
It's not a hostile thing. On the contrary, we think NATO countries need to be strong.
@AussieCossack
❗️"The Orange Plague"
A new 8.5-foot golden statue of a naked Donald Trump has appeared inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Titled ‘The Orange Plague – King of Injustice.
The statue was unveiled at one of the busiest intersections connecting two European Parliament buildings and is scheduled to remain there until Thursday.
@AussieCossack
❗️South Korea has just recalled its ambassador from Ukraine!
Seoul and Kiev are embroiled in a diplomatic dispute, with Seoul strongly protesting against Zelensky's disclosure of the transfer of North Korean POW's to South Korea during his U.N. speech last week.
South Korea accuses Ukraine of violating a nondisclosure agreement on the transfer and demands Zelensky apologise.
@AussieCossack
❗️The Kremlin confirms that Trump did NOT call Putin on his birthday.
@AussieCossack
❗️Senator James Paterson has never had a real job in his life. He started his career as a young Liberal and was preselected directly into the position of Senator.
Remember Senator James Paterson, this is the Australian Senator who publicly calls for the "killing of Russians".
👇One word to best describe Senator Paterson in the comments below.
@AussieCossack
❗️"The Russians are very sophisticated and very smart and they have the plague under control." - Trump
@AussieCossack
❗️But seriously, every meth user deserves a second chance and the opportunity to become a State Premier whether it's Warren Pickering or Terry Warmspoons.. 😅
@AussieCossack
❗️Another Fact check from CENTCOM.
@AussieCossack
❗️Trump:
I have a call scheduled today. It's Putin's birthday. I'm sure you'll celebrate it."
@AussieCossack
❗️Russia sees no significant US activity toward resolving the Ukraine war and rules out a trilateral meeting with the U.S. and Ukraine for now - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov.
@AussieCossack
❗️The media is reporting a lot, and the vast majority of it is false information – Peskov on the news about the plague from the Irkutsk region.
"Please rely on the information from Rospotrebnadzor, statements by Popova, and statements by her representatives," he said.
@AussieCossack
❗️🤡Estonia’s defense industry chief Taavi Veskimägi said weapons sent to Ukraine are gaining valuable combat experience on the battlefield by killing Russians.
He said this allows Estonian companies to improve their products and gives Estonia access to weapons already tested in real combat if they are needed at home.
Veskimägi also called for transparency over which defense companies receive state funding for Ukraine.
@AussieCossack
❗️The European Commission has transferred another €1.24 billion to Ukraine under the €90 billion program, "for drones and missiles" - statement from the Commission.
