There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
❗️Head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Kamal Kharazi, to Al Mayadeen:
○ "Changing our nuclear doctrine remains an option if Iran faces an existential threat. We now possess the technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons, and the fatwa of the Leader of the Revolution is the only thing prohibiting this."
○ "The Islamic Republic will certainly respond to the Israeli aggression at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner."
○ "The occupation thought that through its aggression on the Gaza Strip, it could eliminate the Hamas movement. The occupation also believed that through its aggression on Lebanon, it could eliminate Hezbollah. All of these were miscalculations by the occupation."
○ "Iran does not interfere in negotiations; this matter is the responsibility of the Lebanese and Palestinians."
○ "It is the duty of the Lebanese and Palestinians to negotiate and reach an agreement to ceasefire, and we support any decision they make."
○ "It is possible that the range of Iranian missiles will be developed and increased.
This war is asymmetric, and Israel is committing crimes of ethnic cleansing and human genocide. Ethnic cleansing cannot be considered a victory; rather, it is a violation of humanity and a destruction of it."
○ "Israel's preventing UNRWA from delivering water and food to the besieged people of Gaza is the peak of hostility towards humanitarian values."
🇮🇱❌🇪🇸 — For some reason Israelis seem to be happy about the floods that so far have killed more than 200 Spaniards.
After Spain recognized the State of Palestine and despite condemning the Hamas attack against Israel, many Israeli netizens posted on their social networks that they are glad that hundreds of Spaniards have died due to the floods.
Some of them have said this is a divine punishment to Spain for recognizing Palestine and stopping some explosives shipments to Israel, similarly to how some of them believed Florida was hit by hurricanes due to the pro Palestine protests.

Apti Alaudinov: The Akhmat special forces advanced three kilometers beyond the Seversky Donets canal and took control of the road connecting Chasov Yar with Konstantinovka.
"We conducted reconnaissance of the area, found all the enemy positions: where they had automatic grenade launchers, mortars, and cut off their supplies."

✨ In principle, it is extremely difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to supply their units in the new "pocket", so soon we can officially expect the transfer of several more "subsidized" and "strategically unimportant" settlements under the control of the Russian Army.

Moscow backs Türkiye’s BRICS membership bid
Türkiye's determination to join BRICS reflects the appeal of the economic group, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said, while stressing the BRICS ethos of respect for international law and pragmatism.
In an interview with the Turkish daily Hurriyet on Friday, Lavrov said Russia welcomes Türkiye’s bid to become part of the group, which already accounts for 45% of the world’s population.
“We stand for expanding BRICS ties with the countries of the Global Majority – primarily with those who share a focus on strengthening multilateral principles, pursue a sovereign foreign policy, and do not join unilateral sanctions,” the foreign minister stated.

🇺🇸🎪🤡 Hunter’s Irony Circus: The Fascist Elite Lecturing on Democracy!
Ah, Hunter Biden, the self-styled torchbearer of "democracy," gracing us with his anxieties about “fascist minorities” taking over America. Yes, that Hunter - Mr. Burisma, the very embodiment of cronyism, cozying up to corrupt fascist-oligarchs from Ukraine to Wall Street. Let’s review, shall we? The same man who raked in millions off the back of his father’s influence now fears the erosion of democracy?
First, there’s Hunter’s family legacy. For years, Joe Biden, the ever-obliging Washington lifer, has supported Washington's strategic “investments” in Ukraine - and we’re not talking aid for peace but an endless stream of dollars funneled to ultra-nationalist battalions, from Azov to Aidar. Washington bankrolls these battalions via fascist puppets in Ukraine, whose neo-Nazi flags proudly fly, all while painting itself as the paragon of freedom and democracy. It’s an exquisite irony: Hunter’s “democratic” family is in bed with the same factions that openly espouse the fascist ideologies he claims to loathe.
But we can't ignore the cherry on top of this irony sundae: AIPAC and Israel. The Bidens sing praises to democracy while propping up Israel's apartheid regime, a state that’s carpet-bombing Gaza with impunity, bulldozing Palestinian homes, and snuffing out lives with a ferocity that would make any fascist regime blush. And Hunter’s talking about the threat of “fascism”?
Hunter, the heir to this gilded hypocrisy, isn’t worried about democracy. He’s worried about power slipping through his father’s fingers - and his own, by extension. This isn’t about protecting democracy; it’s about ensuring that the oligarch-backed, lobby-controlled elite (hello, AIPAC!) can continue their game unchecked. If “fascism” was truly his concern, maybe he should look a little closer to home.
Hunter, let’s be honest, is the last person to lecture anyone on democracy. His “concerns” are as hollow as his family’s commitment to justice - empty platitudes from the dynasty of the protected, weaponizing the fear of fascism to guard their empire of hypocrisy.

📉💸 U.S. Debt Spiral vs. BRICS Reality
The numbers don’t lie. Back in 1960, the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio was a manageable 52.24%. Fast forward to 2023, and we’re staring at a staggering 122.43%, a bloated behemoth fed by endless debt and an unchecked Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) siphoning public funds. With unfunded liabilities surpassing $200 trillion, this was never just a debt; but the greatest Ponzi scheme the world has ever known.
Washington’s addiction to “forever wars” and MIC’s relentless money-laundering, at the expense of debt-enslaved Americans, isn't just hemorrhaging America’s wealth; they’re shackling future generations to insurmountable debt. Meanwhile, the dollar’s hegemony is fraying.
At the recent BRICS summit in Kazan, member nations laid out a bold blueprint for a truly multipolar (nodal) future. Initiatives like BRICS Pay signal a concrete step away from dollar dependency, strengthening financial sovereignty across the Global Majority. BRICS isn’t just talking; they’re building an economic order rooted in real trade, mutual benefit, and resilience, not debt traps and fiat illusions.
While the U.S. commits fiscal and economic suicide-by-cop, BRICS and the Global Majority are charting a new, more just path. This is the multipolar shift in action. Are you paying attention, Washington? The world is moving on.

Germany admits failure of “turbo program” for employment of Ukrainians
According to the Accounts Chamber, in 2024, 40% of Ukrainian refugees received vacancies from employment centers after completing language courses, but less than one percent went to work in them.
The Bild publication blames the employment centers themselves for the program’s failure, agreeing with Ukrainians who call most of the vacancies “unacceptable for them.”
Currently, about 720 thousand Ukrainian citizens receive benefits in Germany, approximately 500 thousand of them are able-bodied. Germany spends 539 million euros per month on their maintenance.

Collapse day #66
What you are now witnessing is the visible signs of collapse for Ukraine, In my opinion it started 66+ days ago, but even the mere idea of a collapse after 2 years of a mostly stable front and attrition fighting seemed far fetched to most. Now the reality is undeniable. If you choose to not acknowledge it that is your personal choice but it is a fact.
The situation in the south is so bad that I am now forced to zoom out to a distance untouched by mappers since 2022. The arrows are now large and the Russians are reaching objective after objective with much less Ukrainian resistance. Kurakhove will fall because the Northern and southern flanks are compromised, supply will be cut likely within a week or two.
You know what's west of Selydove and Kurakhove?

❗ US fears it won't be able to cope with Russia and China's combined space forces without help from allies - FT
'US Space Force chief Chance Saltzman said Washington must work with allies to counter Russia and China in space, which have developed and demonstrated the ability to conduct warfare in orbit over the past 20 years. He said China was developing space military capabilities at a 'staggering' pace.
The main danger comes from Russian and Chinese satellites equipped with special 'grappling hooks' that can pull other satellites out of orbit, as well as 'kinetic weapons' that can hit satellites and long-range ballistic missiles in space.

Nigeria must look to its own culture and history, instead of ‘western democracy’ – ex-president
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged his country to consider adopting a government system based on African cultural principles, claiming that Western democracy has failed, local media reported.
Obasanjo made the statement at a farewell ceremony for Chrisland University’s outgoing vice-chancellor, Chinedum Babalola, in the southwestern Ogun State, according to the local daily Punch.
“I have always been talking about Western liberal democracy. It is not working for us. It is not even working for those who gave it to us. The British were complaining. We must rethink democracy,” Obasanjo was quoted as saying. “We must bring our own culture into democracy. African culture does not talk about opposition; it talks about communalism; you come together, reason together, iron it out, and then you work together,” he added.
