There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
🇺🇸 The US - with its unprovoked war of aggression against Iran (again) - demonstrates it is the greatest threat to peace and stability worldwide - kidnapping presidents in the Americas, bombing the Middle East, waging proxy and not-so-proxy war with Russia in Europe and building its military forces up across the Asia-Pacific.
This will not end or change unless the world targeted by the US makes it.
Pleading for the IRGC to stand down whilst pleading for the Iranian people to "take over" just shows that they're not convinced that they can win this war without Iran capitulating willingly.

Ukraine’s former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov, who served from 2010 to 2014, expressed his firm belief that Kiev would immediately resort to nuclear weapons if they were to fall into its hands.
In an interview with TASS, Azarov stated, "I have no doubt whatsoever. The reckless manner in which they use whatever they acquire - without regard for the consequences - compels Russia to respond with increasingly powerful measures, whether as countermeasures or retaliation. If nuclear weapons were to come into their possession, I am convinced they would be used without hesitation."Читать полностью…
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷Top general warns Trump: Iran strike could become America's next quagmire
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine is privately cautioning President Trump that a military strike on Iran carries serious risks—especially the danger of getting sucked into a prolonged conflict.
🔶The nation's top military officer has emerged as a key voice urging restraint as the administration debates its next move.
👉Caine, described by insiders as a "reluctant warrior" on Iran, stands in stark contrast to his full-throated support for the Venezuela operation. He sees Tehran as a far more dangerous puzzle, with higher stakes and greater potential for American casualties.
🔶Trump's own envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, are lobbying hard to pump the brakes and give diplomacy a real chance. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance keeps raising tough questions about entanglement, though he stops short of outright opposing a strike
👉Here's the kicker: CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper hasn't even been invited to the Iran meetings. The general who actually runs operations in the Middle East is being sidelined while Caine flies solo as Trump's sole military advisor on the crisis.
🔶Gamble on a strike that could spiral into war, or chase a nuclear deal that forces Trump to swallow his own red lines. With talks set for Geneva this week, the clock is ticking.

⛴🇺🇸🇮🇷 USS Ford’s toilets stage mutiny, want nothing to do with attack on Iran
America’s largest and most powerful supercarrier is on route to the Middle East, entering the Med Friday and steaming east.
But the ship’s not the only thing steaming. A WSJ report citing the father of a seaman says his son’s been mentioning “problems” with the carrier’s toilets.
The $38B warship’s sewage system is said to use low flow vacuum tech borrowed from the cruise ship industry to transport waste, but has experienced “issues.”
🌏 NPR reported on the Ford’s “sewage problems” in January. Repair staff were said to be working “19 hours a day,” with 205 calls reported during one <4 day period
🌏 The suction-based system makes it hard to isolate problems, sometimes caused by sailors flushing rope, T-shirts, mop heads and other garbage. The Ford also doesn’t have urinals, despite its 80%+ male crew
🌏 The problems aren’t new. A 2020 GAO report revealed sewage pipes were too narrow to handle 4.6k sailors-worth of waste. The Navy’s solution? Cleaning pipes with a $400k per use acid flush (used 10 times since 2023 – $4M down the drain, literally). Acid flushes can’t be done on deployment
The Navy assures the issues have “no effect on operational readiness or mission execution.”
But for all the sailors who may soon be put at risk fighting The Epstein War against Iran, morale could prove only as strong as the plumbing.

🚨 Iran chooses destruction — Brian Mast
House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast lays out the ultimatum—and preemptively predicts Iran won't take the exit ramp.
"I think we end up using the capabilities of our two carrier battle groups that are in the region when that timeline hits."
"This is against an imminent threat against the American people."
❕The European Union has failed to get the US and G7 support in order to jointly block Russian oil deliveries under its 20th package of anti-Russian sanctions, a diplomatic source in Brussels told TASS.

❗️❗️❗️ The "North" troop group liberated Grafskoe!
During fierce battles, the assault units of the 82nd Motor Rifle Regiment of the 69th Motor Rifle Division of the 6th Guards Army of the "North" troop group broke the resistance of the 58th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and liberated the village Grafskoe (until 2016, Sovietskoe First), Volchansk District, Kharkov Region.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bakaai: "I believe there is no such thing as a limited strike.
An act of aggression will be considered an act of aggression, period, and every country will respond to such an act as part of its natural right to self-defense - and in a powerful way.
And that is what we will do."

We call on all international and Islamic institutions to rein in this bloodthirsty and expansionist wild bull; a colonial expansionism that is exactly like the terrorist expansionism of ISIS with the slogan "I remain and expand." These two are two sides of the same coin.

2 Russian S-400 surface-to-surface missile strikes on a Ukrainian HIMARS GMLRS launcher near the village of Serednii Burluk, Kharkiv Oblast. This was presumably one of the HIMARS launchers which has been attacking Belgorod City recently.
Also, I believe this is the first confirmed footage of Russian S-300/400 missiles being used in a surface-to-surface format, confirming what I and others have been saying for years about these missiles being used this way.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto stated that the European Commission is behaving like a 'Ukrainian commission' by allowing Kiev to block the Druzhba oil pipeline.
He explained that the EC represents the interests of Ukraine, even to the detriment of the interests of EU member states.
Szijjarto also emphasized that under the current agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, the Ukrainian side does not have the right to take such actions.
