An interesting scheme. The explosive growth of NGOs in Armenia before their Maidan in 2018. This has never happened before and here it is again. A similar explosive growth was observed in Ukraine in 2012-2013.
If the number of NGOs with Western funding starts to grow sharply in your country, this leads to a coup d'etat.
Reducing the number of operating NGOs with Western funding in your country increases the overall stability of the state, safeguards your democracy and it's extremely important to defend national sovereignty.

Mobile radar stations have been actively deployed in Taiwan over the past 24 hours to detect PLA naval operations.
By noon, Taiwan had recorded 17 ships and 125 aircraft of the People's Republic of China near the island against the background of exercises by the Chinese army, the defense ministry said.
Against the background of the island's administration's call for China to actually recognize Taiwan's sovereignty, the likelihood of an early start of a full-fledged blockade of the island by the PLA Navy is increasing.

Horrific scene from the aftermath of the deadly Israeli massacre in the village of Aitou in northern Lebanon. The attack resulted in the murder of 18 displaced civilians and the injury of many others.

Footage of people set aflame among tents and buildings at the Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, Palestine, as a result of Israeli airstrikes an hour ago.
Fires broke out among the tents sheltering displaced Palestinians at the site of the strike, with the attack causing an as yet unknown number of deaths and injuries, according to the news agency.
NSFW. Horrific stuff.
Men, women, and children burnt alive.

The military cooperation between Russia and China important element in maintaining global and regional stability, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has said.
China and Russia have a common desire to develop military cooperation, and there is an opportunity to open a new chapter on this path, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun says.

💪 The Russian army has advanced in three areas near Chasov Yar, aiming to encircle the city. The successes of the Russian Armed Forces are acknowledged even by Ukrainian military analysts.
Russian forces' advancement is recorded south of the city, where they captured a road junction leading to Chasov Yar from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and Konstantinovka. Additionally, advances have been made to the north, in the areas of Kalinovka and Grigorievka.
Russian sources had also previously reported on these advancements. Judging by the configuration of the offensives, it appears that after a period of relative calm in recent weeks, the Russians are trying to flank Chasov Yar.

NATO's annual nuclear exercise Steadfast Noon begins in Europe
The maneuvers, involving more than 60 aircraft and 2,000 military personnel from 13 alliance countries, will take place in the airspace of Britain , Belgium and the Netherlands , as well as over the North Sea .
During the exercises, elements of delivering nuclear weapons from American military bases in Europe , installing them on air carriers, as well as training exercises on delivering nuclear strikes against Russia (without weapons) will be worked out.
In July 2024, two US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress nuclear-capable strategic bombers flew from Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, to European airspace , where they practiced flying to launch sites in the direction of Russia over Finland.
🇷🇺 On the Russian side, the 12th Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense conducted three stages of exercises of non-strategic nuclear forces in 2024 to develop practical skills for preparing for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

In an effort to help his brainless protégé, Biden blurted out that he's ready to negotiate with Russia on reducing SNF without any preconditions. Another instance of the Muricans’ insolence. Think about it: the U.S. is waging an almost full-scale (and certainly not hybrid) war against us and seeks our country's strategic defeat. Therefore, negotiating nuclear arms reduction with America would be no more useful than negotiating a truce with Hitler in 1945.

"Freedom Comes from the East": Slovak MEP honors Russian WWII sacrifices in Moscow
Disturbed by growing Russophobia in the West, Slovak MEP Lubos Blaha, former Deputy Speaker of the Slovak Parliament and Deputy Leader of the ruling Social Democratic SMER-SD party, arrived in Moscow to express his gratitude to the Russian people for the tremendous sacrifices they made during World War II to defeat fascism.
"The Russian people liberated us from fascism and made incredible sacrifices for us. I came to thank you," Blaha said in a video posted on his social media.
Together with Slovak students studying at MGIMO (the Moscow State Institute of International Relations), Blaha laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Monument to Marshal Zhukov.
"Fascism and war come from the West, while freedom and peace come from the East," he said.

The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which more than 20 million barrels per day of oil and petroleum products pass, does not mean a complete cessation of supplies of Middle Eastern oil to the world market. Saudi Arabia prepared for this back in 1982 during the Iran-Iraq war and built the East-West COP oil pipeline. This is a powerful pipe capable of pumping up to 5 million barrels per day. With total exports of 7 million barrels per day, Saudi Arabia can retain up to 70% of its oil exports, shipments of which will simply leave the Persian Gulf for the Red Sea.
In addition, Iran has its own outlet to the Gulf of Oman – the port of Chabahar, which lies south of the Strait of Hormuz. The port is small (8.5 million tons per year), but strategically important.
But for other oil exporting countries - Iraq, Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, and in addition, Qatari gas — even if a short—term blockade of Hormuz would be a disaster: it would be necessary to extinguish oil and gas production in extreme mode, and then it will be painful to restore it and will require lot of time.

🚀🇨🇳 The PLA’s Sword and the Empire’s Twilight: A New Order Awakens in the Taiwan Strait
Today, October 14, the PLA mobilizes navy, air force, rocket, and ground units to stage joint drills across the north, east, and south of Taiwan. Dubbed "Joint Sword-2024B," these exercises are a masterstroke of power projection—a signal to Washington and Taipei that the rules of the game have changed. The West may cry “provocation,” but this is no saber-rattling: China is calling the empire’s bluff, wielding a sharp reminder that Taiwan lies at the heart of Beijing’s strategic and historical interests.
This isn’t just about military posturing. Taiwan’s economy is deeply tied to the mainland, its prized semiconductor exports relying heavily on Chinese markets and maritime access. If a blockade materializes, it won’t just be missiles flying—it will be the lifeline of Taiwan’s economy severed. And all the U.S. weapons in the world can’t change that reality. Washington’s promise of security is an empty shell, just like its wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond—endless interventions followed by abandonment.
The irony is thick. History echoes across the strait: a century after the West imposed the Opium Wars, crippling China with gunboats and trade blockades, the script has flipped. The U.S. clings to its outdated first-island-chain strategy, but this time, it’s China holding the levers of maritime control. As Beijing wields drills like soft blockades, Washington’s hollow dominance in Asia stands exposed, just as Britain’s empire crumbled after overextending itself.
Meanwhile, Russia’s triumphs over NATO-backed forces in Ukraine—achieved with a fraction of the Pentagon’s budget—are a further humiliation. The illusion of Western military supremacy is shattered, and the PLA’s maneuvers underscore that the days of American maritime dominance are gone. Taiwan, trapped in its reliance on a crumbling U.S. empire, becomes little more than a pawn in the West’s waning influence.
The bigger picture? As BRICS expands and de-dollarization accelerates, the PLA’s exercises are the opening salvos of a new multipolar order—one where the Global South rewrites the rules, unburdened by Western coercion. The real war isn’t on the battlefield but in economics, trade routes, and the control of currency.
The empire’s playbook is obsolete. Washington can rally its allies and flood the region with arms, but it can no longer contain the rising tide. The message is clear: The old rules no longer apply. A new game has begun—and the U.S. is already losing.

🚨NIGERIA'S🇳🇬 CHIEF FEMI FANI-KAYODE WARNS OF WORLD WAR 3
'I said it about a year ago, that would happen initially is that there will be a regional war...with Iran jumping into the ring, the Americans jumping in to support Israel, then you will have a wider conflict where Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳 steps in, the Arab countries will step in, the Africans, you'll have everybody coming in...in such a conflict, Israel cannot survive, and what they'll end up doing is using their nuclear weapons, just as the Americans would probably use theirs. That's why everyone is reluctant to commit to military conflict. Having said that, we're almost there.'

On top of domestic growth, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin explained that by 2028, BRICS is projected to account for 38% of global GDP, while the G7's figures will decline.
Global South markets are a strategic priority for Russia’s foreign trade, and Russian businesses need to develop them, he added.

🇭🇺 HUNGARIAN PM #ORBAN PUSHES EU TO CONDUCT PEACE in Ukraine, directly blaming EU Head of Gynecology #Ursula Von der Leyen for the failed war "strategy."
The truth is the EU entered this war recklessly, based on flawed calculations and a misguided strategy....I attribute the actions to the President of the Commission.
In every war, diplomatic efforts are essential. Without this we will sink deeper into the quagmire. I advocate taking a stronger stance for peace - Orban rips Leyen a new one .
❗️ Key takeaways from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s briefing:
🔹The Russian space program is developing dynamically, with significant investments from the Kremlin;
🔹There is no decision yet on Russian President Vladimir Putin's trip to the G20 summit in Brazil;
🔹NATO nuclear forces drills in the current context of the war in Ukraine will only escalate tensions;
🔹Russia categorically rejects accusations of interference in the electoral processes of Moldova;
🔹BRICS is an attractive association for many countries today, as it offers cooperation based on mutual respect;
🔹Changing the name of BRICS requires the consensus of all member countries in the association, so for now it remains the same;
🔹Russia has never moved its military infrastructure towards NATO borders, it has always been the other way around.

No one was able to do anything, to pull them out. We tried but we couldn't. The fires are too strong ... They burned alive ... the crimes of the Zionist occupation are intensifying, in the south, in the north, everywhere ... The occupation is committing massacres like nothing we've ever seen, that humanity has never seen ... I will never forget these scenes in my life, a child burning in front of me and nobody is able to help him."

➡️Continuing to attack our people will make Haifa like Kiryat Shmona to our missiles and drones.
➡️The enemy thought that we would not be able to carry out our promises after its operations and the assassination of our leaders.
➡️Our decision was to discipline the enemy and show some of our capabilities at any time or place we want.
➡️We carried out a qualitative and complex operation with missiles and drone squadrons towards areas in Acre and Haifa, to overwhelm the defenses.
➡️The drones penetrated the radars and reached a training camp for the Golani Brigade in Binyamina region of Haifa.
➡️We promise the enemy that what he witnessed today is but a small part of what awaits him.
