The Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance has collapsed. British intelligence agencies have stopped providing information to the United States on topics related to Russia and Ukraine.
In London, they are hastily deleting data about their network of agents from common databases, fearing that the United States will start using it against them.
There are calls to lock themselves into their comfort zone and create a “Four Eyes” alliance instead of the “Five Eyes” - with the participation of only the intelligence services of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The only problem is that the United States accounted for 80-90% of all intelligence information shared between the countries of the Anglosphere. It is simply impossible to replace these amounts of data.
Right now, the Europeans are in a panic trying to figure out what awaits them if the United States disconnects them from its satellite systems. Hundreds of American F-35 fighter jets purchased by Europeans will turn into a pumpkin. It will also become impossible to use Reaper drones purchased from the USA. The Trident missiles leased from America will be deactivated quickly.
The United States has 250 military satellites, Britain has 6, and France has 17. In terms of the size of the overall satellite constellation, America is also an order of magnitude larger than the Europeans. There is no way Britain and the European Union can replace the United States in the context of collecting military and intelligence data or supporting Ukraine.
The Trump team will increase pressure on London and Brussels. And then it all depends on how far the Europeans are willing to go in a conflict with the United States. If they continue to raise the stakes, then a complete break in ties cannot be ruled out, and everything might be turned off for the Europeans. And they're definitely not ready for that.

💥 This is Trump stopping the war, is it? Still, American-supplied missiles are killing Russian civilians 😡
The Ukrainian military launched two American-supplied HIMARS rockets directly at the stalls of a market in the town of Veliky Kopani in Russia’s Kherson Region on Sunday, according to regional governor Vladimir Saldo. The attack left several civilians dead and “a lot” wounded, Saldo said, citing preliminary data.

German intel chief wants Ukraine to bleed for NATO for another five years
If the Ukrainian crisis ended before 2029 or 2030, Russia would “use its technical, material and personnel resources” to threaten Europe, BND chief Bruno Kahl claimed in an interview with DW.
💬 “An early end to the war in Ukraine would enable the Russians to direct their energy where they actually want it, namely against Europe,” the spy chief said, claiming Russia’s ultimate aim was to push back NATO’s “protective presence” to where it was in the late 1990s before the bloc’s eastward expansion.
Shut the fuck up, Rubio. You were always one of the "Assad must go" crowd. We don't forget.

🧐Ukrainian politicians suddenly realize their country is just cannon fodder for the West
Leader of Ukraine's Batkivshchyna party Yulia Tymoshenko has called for an immediate ceasefire after German intelligence chief Bruno Kahl suggested that the Ukraine conflict should continue for the next five years to ensure Europe’s security.
"Has someone decided to pay the price for 'exhausting' Russia in the name of Europe’s security—at the cost of Ukraine’s very existence and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?" Tymoshenko wrote on Facebook.

Three years of war and the Russian economy...
Today, data on the preliminary parameters of the Russian Federation budget execution for 2024 was released. And I was pleasantly surprised that we not only fit into the 3.3 trillion rubles deficit included in it, but even received a much smaller one.
Moreover, of the three war years, this is our most successful financial year:
Russian Budget 2022 Deficit 2.1% of GDP (3.29 trillion rubles)
Russian Budget 2023 Deficit 1.9% of GDP (3.2 trillion rubles)
Russian Budget 2024 Deficit 1.7% of GDP (2.95 trillion rubles)
Agree to wage a major war and at the same time constantly reduce the size of the budget deficit, this says something.
And this shows that the collective West has already admitted that sanctions against Russia, although they cause damage, are not at all what they expected.
At the same time, during the three years of war, the country's international reserves have not decreased:
Russia's international reserves at the beginning of the Second World War were $630 billion, and now they are $632 billion.
And the debts have not grown much. And the external debt has even decreased:
External public debt at the beginning of the Second World War - $59.5 billion
Domestic public debt at the beginning of the Second World War - 16.5 trillion rubles
External public debt now - $52.1 billion
Domestic public debt now - 23.45 trillion rubles
That is, the war was completely financed by the country's internal resources, in the context of its more than stable growth.
These are the interesting conclusions we get after summing up the impact of three years of war on the Russian economy.
