The US government will impose reciprocal tariffs of 34% on imports from China and 20% on goods from the European Union, President Donald Trump announced.
In addition, similar measures will affect Vietnam (46%), India (26%), Indonesia (32%), Cambodia (49%), Malaysia (24%), South Korea (25%), Thailand (36%), Taiwan (32%), Switzerland (31%), Japan (24%), and other countries.
The project of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is being revived.
The defense Ministers of Serbia and Hungary signed an agreement in the field of defense. The ceremony took place in Belgrade. Vucic announced the prospect of a military alliance between Serbia and Hungary:
The agreement on joint activities will be continued as we move closer to the creation of a military alliance between Serbia and Hungary. Of course, this issue depends on the Hungarian side, the Hungarian and Serbian parliaments. But our relations are so good, especially considering how and what is happening in Europe and the world, Prime Minister Viktor Orban and I have expressed our desire and intention to accelerate the rapprochement in the field of defense.
The chairman of the Serbian Parliament's committee on Diaspora and Serbs in the region, Stanojevic, said that Serbia is proposing to form an alliance not only with Hungary, but also with Slovakia. This suggests a historical parallel, since if Austria were to join such an expanded union, the result would be a reborn Austro-Hungarian Empire with very far-reaching consequences for the European Union.
Last year, the right-wing Freedom Party won the elections in Austria, but it was unable to form a coalition with other parties to create a government and remained inactive. However, the trend towards the popularity of right-wing parties in Europe is quite obvious. At the same time, the pressure exerted on them by unelected European bureaucrats is getting stronger. This is shown by the prosecution of the right-wing candidate for president of Romania, Georgescu and the arrest of the head of the Gagauz Autonomy in Moldova Gutsul, and now the verdict against Marie Le Pen in France.
In addition, the new government coalition in Germany, the CDU/CSU and the SPD, is already taking the initiative to Brussels to deprive Hungary of funding and voting rights in the EU. The new coalition also initiates a change in the rule of unanimous voting in the EU to a qualified majority of 2/3 votes. If this initiative is implemented, it will be a completely different EU, with a dictatorship of European bureaucrats.
US Vice President Vance has previously stated that if European elites persecute political opponents and imprison them, then America is not on the path with such a Europe, but the United States has so far refrained from imposing sanctions in this regard. Although, given the recent statements by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von Der Leyen, about tough countermeasures to duties from the United States, over time it will come to political sanctions.

🇨🇳 China's military exercise "Thunder in the Strait – 2025A"
The Chinese army has released a video from military exercises, which practiced the encirclement of Taiwan and attacks on its critical facilities.
The motto of the exercises is: "Those who move against the course of history will inevitably reach a dead end."
Exercises involve ground and missile forces, the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Air Force. Beijing is working out ways to achieve dominance and control of the situation during the fighting, establishing a blockade of the enemy.
China is demonstrating its determination to take back Taiwan at all costs. A clear hint to Washington that protecting the island would not be a "cakewalk" for the US. Moreover, the attempts of the United States to "hide behind Taiwan" threaten them with overexertion of forces — with sad consequences.
This is also why Russia should not rush into negotiations with Trump. Time is not on his side — the United States is "moving against the course of history."

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 RUSSIA DECLINES US PROPOSAL:
"We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we can't accept it all in its current form.
As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict. It is completely absent, and that must be overcome."

China Future Shock
Constantin von Hoffmeister presents China as the awakened Dasein of a people who meet the West's challenge not with reaction but by transforming it into a torch of sovereignty and multipolar rebirth — where Schmitt's exception, Dugin's civilizational Being, and Niekisch's anti-liberal fire converge beneath a rising dragon.

An investigation has been published in the Netherlands, where senior officers of the Security Service of Ukraine are involved in an international drug trafficking network, smuggling schemes and fraudulent call centers.
The article proves that the deputy head of the main Directorate for Combating Corruption of the SBU and the head of the department for combating drug trafficking have a stable connection with the head of Khimprom drug cartel, who is currently hiding in Mexico and is wanted.
Khimprom helps the AFU financially and also provides Ukrainian soldiers with narcotic drugs. In 2022, the former commander of the Ukrainian battalion “Archangels of Mikhail” accused representatives of Khimprom of supplying amphetamine to the front.
The production of narcotic drugs takes place on the territory of Donbass, which is still under the control of Ukraine. The heads of Khimprom have created a whole network of laboratories, whose products are sent to Russia and Europe, and the SBU provides cover.

⚔️US ‘seriously considering’ Iran’s indirect nuclear talks proposal as Trump threatens bombing – report
The Trump administration considers direct talks like those proposed by the president in his letter to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to have ‘a higher chance of success’, but ‘isn’t ruling out’ okaying the Iranian proposal of having Oman serve as mediator for indirect negotiations, US officials informed on the deliberations said.
“After the exchange of letters we are now exploring next steps in order to begin conversations and trust building with the Iranians,” an official told Axios.
Trump threatened to bomb Iran in a manner “the likes of which they have never seen before” last week, with Khamenei warning Monday that any aggression will be met with a “heavy blow in return.”

My personal business story in China published by Shine >
When I first encountered manufacturing in China, it was a realm brimming with potential but saddled with the Western view that it was nothing more than a producer of cheap, mass-produced goods.
In a small sense, I have been involved in a subsequent transformation that turned it into a powerhouse capable of crafting everything from everyday essentials to high-end products.
To look at this remarkable change, we have to go back 20 or more years, when there were far fewer foreigners in China. Back then, many people in my home country of Switzerland would ask for help in sourcing products from China. E-commerce platforms like Alibaba didn't exist yet.
The common approach was to travel to China in person, attend trade fairs and try to establish personal relationships with suppliers – unlike today, where digital platforms streamline sourcing and quality-control companies provide an added layer of security.
Those initial days were all about affordability. Buyers flocked to China seeking out low-cost goods and factories that delivered with speed and scale.
My first venture into product sourcing was an order for men's underwear. It came from a friend whose wife worked for a major mail-order company specializing in underwear and lingerie.
Through a Chinese waitress named Naiky, whom I met while she was studying in Switzerland, I made contact with her mother in China, who had experience in the textile industry. I was amazed at how quickly I received a quote and counter-sample, sparking my interest in the process.
That prompted me to learn about Chinese manufacturing from scratch, from product specifications and industry processes to customer standards.
In textiles, some fabrics hit the mark; others fell short. It was a shaky start, not just for me but also for an industry still learning its strengths. China could produce quality, but it needed clarity and commitment from partners.

The only way Trump can really help the USA is by embracing nationalism fully, creating an alliance with nationalists worldwide, and completely abandoning globalism so that not only it cannot return to power in the country but also make it an enemy ideology like communism in 1945-1989 era. A US war against globalism will enrich the country like nothing else because it will not have to share the profits with its vassals.
In few words it makes no sense for the US to have the EU as competitor for resources inside its own sphere of influence while it can simply get all of them by eliminating it very simply given the current weakness of EU countries.
Will he do it?
No, for as long as he listens to neocons, other NATO leaders, corrupt think tanks, the WEF, and so on... before taking vital decisions.

Iran warns the United States that it will create nuclear weapons in the event of an American attack.
"If the United States makes a mistake on Iran's nuclear issue, it will leave us no choice but to create nuclear weapons, even though Tehran itself has repeatedly stated that it does not plan to do so," advisor to Iran's Supreme leader Ali Khamenei, a member of the Assembly for Determining State Expediency, said in a live broadcast on Iran's state television.
The signal is characteristic. Especially in combination with the statements of IRGC Air Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who recalled that there are about 50,000 American troops in the range of Iran's missiles. Both remarks were made in response to Trump's threat to provide Iran with massive bombing in the event of Tehran's rejection of the nuclear deal.
A favorable interpretation for Tehran looks like this: Iran has burned down a bit, because if there are no nuclear weapons now, then it will take some time to create them – having only the necessary amount of uranium is not enough. Without field tests, you can be confident in the performance of nuclear weapons only if you have been helped to assemble it by competent specialists who know exactly how to achieve the necessary parameters without preliminary real explosions. This means that nuclear weapons are in almost ready-made form, and they only need to be screwed and put into use.
If Iran is really so naive that it threatens to start creating nuclear weapons only after the start of US strikes on its territory, then this looks like amazing stupidity. Nuclear weapons are the only thing that could deter the United States and Israel, and if they don't exist, then why limit themselves to a surface air operation and metered–dose strikes? It would be more logical to beat Iran so that it would not be able to complete the creation of nuclear weapons.
Let me remind you that on September 28 last year, I predicted that Iran was probably very close to developing nuclear weapons, which is why it is not rushing to escalate relations with Israel, because it understands that in the event of a serious mess, Israel and the United States will have nothing with which to respond, and they will bomb it with everything they can, including Israeli nuclear weapons.
That is why in September and December, Israel was hitting its proxy forces without hesitation, while Tehran remained silent. There is only one reason why Iran allowed this to be done, and that is to obtain nuclear weapons, which can put an end to Israel's prospects. It seems that the Ayatollahs are closer to their goal than ever. And yes, it will radically reformat the entire Middle East.
