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 "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.
The liberation of the settlement opens up the opportunity for the "North" troops to continue their offensive south along the Seversky Donets River.

▪️The reaction of Russian senators to the reported plans by France and the UK to transfer nuclear arms to Ukraine underscores the urgency of the issue raised by the Foreign Intelligence Service
▪️Ukraine’s non-nuclear status was one of the key conditions for its recognition as an independent state and is not subject to revision
▪️The Federation Council expects British and French lawmakers to clearly outline their position on the reported plans to transfer nuclear technologies to Kiev

🇮🇷🇺🇸 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."

Muqtada al-Sadr's response to the statements of the US ambassador to the Zionist regime:
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.

What prompted Russia to consider re-dollarization in case of successful negotiations on the fate of the Ukraine?
So it came out that Russia might consider to sign a large scale trade deal with the US if it gets most of what it wants on the Ukraine issue, some dismissed this as fake news, but they are just dreaming, reality unfortunately is that Moscow underestimated various things when it launched the SMO and now it's forced to deal with them. What are these things?
1_ the Russian leadership thought the BRICS would become a real platform for de-dollarization, would create a new pole in a multipolar world, in reality we are seeing lately especially that each member of the organization makes its own interests disregarding the interests of the other members, prioritizes deals with the EU and US rather than deals with other BRICS partners, it turned out this organization was just an empty box probably created only to get better concessions from the US hegemon by applying more pressure on Washington.
2_ While Russia launched the SMO China was supposed to seize Taiwan in short term in order to wage a multifront war against Western interests to further weaken the globalist camp, this did not happen, the only effective Chinese response to US was the rare earths ban, rather than this you won't be able to find anything substantial. Yes Chinese support to Russian economy was relevant over the last three years but not as big and overt as we all thought due to fear of US sanctions.
3_ Iran was unable to crash Mossad cells on its own territory, we saw them in action for an entire month taking advantage of legitimate popular grievances due to skyrocketing prices. Now it's resorting to whatever it takes, so China and Russia are militarily helping the country facing a likely new US attack against the country but will be enough or is it too late while the Iranian economy collapsed completely?...
4_ Moscow underestimated the capabilities of EU globalist elites to destroy democracy in order to stay in power, the cases of the elections riggings in Romania and Moldova, but also judicial crusade against Marine Le Pen in France proved you can hardly have better relations with EU without forcibly removing from power the Satanists, they will never go away peacefully, through free and fair elections, just like Zelensky they would rather kill half of their population than creating a new security architecture that takes into account Russian national security or abandon their anti-humanity agenda. They won't ever stop their war against Russia, that's obvious.
You do the math...
