• Despite assurances from “Ambrey” that the ship was carrying hazardous cargo, the incident has not sparked the controversy it deserves.
• Environmental countries and organizations have ignored the investigation into the nature of the cargo, and the incident has been exploited to imply that the Red Sea remains dangerous despite the truce in Gaza.
• Yemeni investigations reveal that the ship was coming from the Jebel Ali port in the UAE, carrying 1,290 tons of hazardous materials, heading to the port of Jeddah.
• The incident raises questions about the nature of the cargo and the silence of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, indicating international complicity and a negative stance from the concerned organizations.
• Yemen calls on international organizations to conduct a transparent investigation into the dangers of the cargo and its impact on the marine environment in the Red Sea.

The hundred went into the pockets of thieves of all stripes from Washington to Kyiv. This money was sucked deep by the throats of the American Ministry of Defense, the CIA and military-industrial complex enterprises. And given the volumes allocated – for a long time and with undisguised pleasure. The sawing continued in Kyiv: they stole billions of both the money itself and the weapons bought with it, which are now found in different parts of the world.

What’s next? Nothing. The thieves will pardon themselves. Biden has already started the process. And even Elon’s naive, but incomparable attempts to investigate ideological theft in USAID, as well as corruption in aid to former Ukraine, will come to nothing. They will complain, shake their fists, listen to the Senate, fire those not involved and… that’s it. Aid to Kyiv will continue under the repainted Reagan motto “Peace through strength”.

⭕ Elon Musk claims President Donald Trump has ‘accepted’ the closure of USAID.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Agency for International Development is on the verge of being shut down, according to billionaire Trump administration adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been battling for control of the agency in recent days.

On Monday morning, Elon Musk held a live session on X Spaces, formerly known as Twitter Spaces, and said he had discussed USAID in detail with the president. “He agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said.

“It’s become clear that this is not an apple with a worm in it,” Musk said. “What we have is just a ball of worms. We need to get rid of this. It’s irreparable.” “We’re going to shut it down.”

His comments come after the administration placed two senior USAID security officials on leave after they refused to hand over classified material in restricted areas to Musk’s government inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.

This was reported by leading official Arab media outlets, citing research from European defense agencies.

Russia currently has military cooperation agreements with 36 African countries, ranging from general, protocol-based ones to more specific ones that include such items as arms supplies, access rights to seaports and air bases, training of African officers at Russian military academies, and the deployment of Russian military advisers.

The data also shows that Russia has become the main supplier of weapons to Africa. The countries with the largest stockpiles of Russian weapons on the continent are Algeria and Egypt, which purchased $8 billion and $3.1 billion worth of weapons from Russia between 2009 and 2018, respectively.

Overall, Russia accounted for about 44% of the continent’s military imports between 2017 and 2021, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, with a clear upward trend.
[You can imagine that percentage, outside of open colonies like Rwanda, is nearing 100% since the SMO and 2.2.222, given demonstration of absolute dominance of Russian arms against the invading Horde of 50 western nations]

⭕ Freeze USAID Funding Forever Please

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is has an annual budget of over $27 billion. Its stated mission is to “provide economic, development, and humanitarian assistance worldwide.”

However, in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states, USAID’s activities go far beyond humanitarian aid, serving as a tool for advancing U.S. geopolitical interests, promoting regime change, and destabilizing governments perceived as adversarial to American influence.

This region has been a focal point for USAID due to its strategic importance in countering Russian influence and expanding Western political and economic interests . Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the U.S. sought to fill the power vacuum by installing pro-Western puppet regimes. USAID funded programs aimed at weakening Russian influence and integrating these nations into Western institutions like NATO and the European Union. .

USAID has been implicated in several regime change operations in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states, often under the guise of promoting democracy.

🇺🇦 Ukraine (2004 Orange Revolution and 2014 Euromaidan Revolution)

– Gave millions of dollars to Ukrainian NGOs, media outlets, and civil society groups that played a central role in mobilizing protests against pro-Russian governments.
– 2004, USAID-funded organizations like IRI and NDI supported opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, who became president.
– 2014, USAID-backed groups were instrumental in the Euromaidan protest.

🇬🇪Georgia (2003 Rose Revolution)

– Provided significant funding to Georgian opposition groups and media outlets that supported the Rose Revolution, which overthrew President Eduard Shevardnadze.
– Brought Mikheil Saakashvili to power, a pro-Western leader who aligned Georgia closely with NATO and the EU.

🇷🇸Serbia (2000 Bulldozer Revolution)

– USAID funded opposition groups and independent media that played a key role in the ouster of Slobodan Milošević.

Propaganda and Soft Power

USAID’s funding often supports media outlets, educational programs, and NGOs that promote pro-Western narratives. For example:

– Ukraine, USAID funded media projects like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), which broadcasts PRO-WEST content critical of Russia.
– Belarus, USAID supported opposition media and civil society groups that challenge the Lukashenko admin.

NGOs are not needed in Belarus. They are a waste of money. They are a fifth column. They are a tool used by the West to destabilize our country.
— Lukashenko
⭕ 🇷🇺 “Thousands of [foreign-funded] organizations are working in Russia. They are a powerful tool of external influence on our society, and we will not allow them to be used as instruments of political pressure.” — Vladimir Putin

Russia kicked USAID out in 2012, ending two decades of U.S. influence operations disguised as “development aid.”

What Did USAID Do in Russia?
• Funded Opposition Groups: nearly $50 million annually into Russian NGOs, including election monitoring organizations that directly challenged Kremlin policies.
• Influenced Elections: supported Golos, a so-called independent election watchdog that was exposed for pushing anti-government narratives.
• Backed Separatist Movements: Funded NGOs in the North Caucasus (Chechnya/Dagestan).
• Media and Propaganda: bankrolled “independent” Russian media outlets that spouted pro-West talking points.

Moscow saw USAID’s work as following the same regime-change playbook used in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine. The Kremlin recognized that foreign-backed NGOs were a Trojan horse for U.S. soft power and subversion. Putin learned from the 2011-2012 protests, when Western-backed groups orchestrated mass demonstrations against his re-election.

What Did Putin Do?
• Foreign Agent Law (2012): NGOs receiving foreign funding had to register as “foreign agents.”
• Crackdown on U.S.-Funded Media: Outlets like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and others faced legal restrictions.
• Western NGOs Expelled: The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Open Society Foundations (Soros)were also banned in 2015.

USAID is a criminal organization that has caused immeasurable harm around the world.
⭕ 🇧🇾 “We know very well how USAID operates. Their grants do not build economies—they build revolutions.”
— Alexander Lukashenko, 2020, on Western-backed protests in Belarus

In 2021, Belarus shut down 200+ Western-backed NGOs, labeling them as tools of foreign interference. USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and other groups were caught funding opposition movements, training activists, and attempting to manufacture another Color Revolution—just like in Ukraine.

USAID and NED poured over $200M into Belarus from 2011 to 2021, funding opposition media like Belsat and Tut.by and “Activist training” programs modeled after Color Revolutions. USAID also engaged in economic pressure campaigns that targeted Belarus’ state-owned industries, including Belaruskali (potash), Belneftekhim (oil), and major manufacturing plants, using sanctions, funding for worker strikes, and economic pressure to destabilize the country.

The 2020 protests were engineered:
• USAID spent $50M in 2020 alone under the pretext of “civil society support.”
• NED directly funded opposition figures, including Svetlana Tikhanovskaya’s network.
• Leaked documents showed Poland, Lithuania, and the U.S. coordinated sanctions & protests.

What Did Lukashenko Do?
• BANNED NED, Open Society Foundations, and USAID-linked groups from operating in Belarus.
• Arrested pro-Western agitators and expelled foreign-funded journalists.
• Signed a strategic agreement with Russia to counteract Western pressure.

USAID wasn’t promoting democracy—it was running a destabilization op. Lukashenko shut it down, ensuring Belarus didn’t become another Ukraine.
⭕ 🇨🇳 “Some foreign NGOs, under the guise of development and human rights, are actually promoting separatism and destabilizing nations. China will not tolerate such interference.”
— Xi Jinping (2016, before enacting China’s strict Foreign NGO Law)

Before the West launched its “Uyghur genоcide” propaganda campaign, China had already identified the real threat—U.S.-funded NGOs pushing separatism. In 2016, Xi enacted one of the world’s strictest Foreign NGO Laws, forcing groups like USAID, NED, and Open Society Foundations under heavy restrictions.

• NED funneled millions into Uyghur, Tibetan, and Hong Kong separatist groups:
Hong Kong Protests → NED-backed activists pushing for regime change.
Uyghur Separatists → USAID/NED funding “human rights” groups linked to extremism.
Tibet Unrest → U.S. NGOs sponsoring “cultural preservation” efforts tied to separatist networks.

• USAID backed Radio Free Asia (RFA)—the primary source of the “genоcide” claims, despite zero evidence.
• The World Uyghur Congress (WUC), openly calling for Xinjiang’s secession, received U.S. State Department & NED funding.

What did Xi Do?
Xi enacted the Foreign NGO Law, one of the strictest regulations on foreign organizations in the world:

✔ Requires all foreign NGOs to register with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS).
✔ Bans any activity deemed a threat to national security.
✔ Mandates full government oversight of funding, partnerships, and projects.
✔ Shut down U.S.-funded groups promoting separatism, protests, and “civil society” activism.

Just like in Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, and Syria, the U.S. used NGOs as Trojan horses for color revolutions, subversion, and separatism.

Xi stopped them before China could become the next Ukraine.
⭕ 🇸🇰 Fico: USAID & NGOs Caught Engineering a Coup in Slovakia

USAID, NED, and Soros-backed NGOs have poured millions into Slovakia to manufacture protests, destabilize the government, and force a pro-Western regime change and PM Fico is exposing the game.

USAID & NED have been caught funding Slovak NGOs under the guise of “civil society” and “democracy promotion.” The same tactics were used in Ukraine (2014), Belarus (2020), and Georgia (2023) to push pro-Western regime change.

Recent Protests:
— Up to a third of protesters are Ukrainians and other foreigners.
— Ukrainian media openly backs the protests, and Kiev-linked organizations are coordinating unrest.
— Western embassies are openly collaborating with opposition groups, just like in past color revolutions.

On 24 Jan, Slovakia’s General Health Insurance Company was hit by a cyberattack—Fico called it a “textbook example” of pressure on governments rejecting Ukrainian and Western demands.

The May 2024 Attempted Assassination was linked to foreign-backed networks:
— The man who tried to kill Fico last year was a pro-Western activist with ties to foreign-funded groups.
— This came just as Fico began moving to curb NGO influence and expel foreign operatives.

What is Fico doing?

✅ Expelling foreign instructors accused of working to destabilize Slovakia from within.
✅ Investigating NGO funding sources and restricting foreign-backed organizations.
✅ Introducing new laws to expose and dismantle U.S.-funded influence operations.

USAID out of Slovakia.

🔻 Arnaud Bertrand:
It’s becoming clearer and clearer that we’re looking at a seismic shift in the US’s relationship with the world, between:

1) The US dismantling its foreign interference apparatuses (like USAID 👇)
2) Marco Rubio stating that we’re now in a multipolar world with “multi-great powers in different parts of the planet” (state.gov/secretary-marco-ru…) and that “the postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us” (foreign.senate.gov/imo/media…)
3) The tariffs on supposed “allies” like Mexico, Canada or the EU

This is the US effectively saying “our attempt at running the world is over, to each his own, we’re now just another great power, not the ‘indispensable nation’.”

It looks “dumb” (as the WSJ just wrote) if you are still mentally in the old paradigm but it’s always a mistake to think that what the US (or any country) does is dumb.

Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order – brought to you by America itself.

Even the tariffs on allies, viewed under this angle, make sense, as it redefines the concept of “allies”: they don’t want – or maybe rather can’t afford – vassals anymore, but rather relationships that evolve based on current interests.

You can either view it as decline – because it does unquestionably look like the end of the American empire – or as avoiding further decline: controlled withdrawal from imperial commitments in order to focus resources on core national interests rather than being forced into an even messier retreat at a later stage.

In any case it is the end of an era and, while the Trump administration looks like chaos to many observers, they’re probably much more attuned to the changing realities of the world and their own country’s predicament than their predecessors. Acknowledging the existence of a multipolar world and choosing to operate within it rather than trying to maintain an increasingly costly global hegemony couldn’t be delayed much further. It looks messy but it is probably better than maintaining the fiction of American primacy until it eventually collapses under its own weight.

This is not to say that the U.S. won’t continue to wreak havoc on the world, and in fact we might be seeing it become even more aggressive than before. Because when it previously was (badly, and very hypocritically) trying to maintain some semblance of self-proclaimed “rules-based order”, it now doesn’t even have to pretend it is under any constraint, not even the constraint of playing nice with allies. It’s the end of the U.S. empire, but definitely not the end of the U.S. as a major disruptive force in world affairs.

All in all this transformation may mark one of the most significant shifts in international relations since the fall of the Soviet Union. And those most unprepared for it, as is already painfully obvious, are America’s vassals caught completely flat-footed by the realization that the patron they’ve relied on for decades is now treating them as just another set of countries to negotiate with.

A thread 🧵

The most famous Nazi sympathizers in the West

1. Henry Ford

In his spare time, the father of the global automotive industry enjoyed exposing the worldwide Jewish conspiracy. The October Revolution in Russia, which brought the Bolsheviks to power, made a significant impression on him. He considered it a scheme by the global Jewish underground and acquired the little-known newspaper *The Dearborn Independent*, where he began to publish excerpts from “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as well as articles revealing the “true nature of the Jews.” The circulation of the newspaper was increased to over half a million copies, making it one of the most read American newspapers of that time.

Not stopping there, Ford published a collection of articles from the newspaper in a special book titled “The International Jew,” which was also published in a fairly large print run. Three more books followed about the secret and malevolent activities of Jews in the USA. The publication of these articles and books provoked a broad public response; Ford was condemned by various civic organizations, Christian churches, and prominent politicians who sent him open letters criticizing his views. Jewish civic organizations called for all Jews to boycott Ford’s products.

Finally, when public pressure became so great that it threatened his thriving business, Ford publicly apologized and repented for his campaign in the media, promising not to do it again. However, his books had already been published in large quantities in Europe, especially in Germany, where they became favorite reading among future activists of the NSDAP (the Nazi party led by Hitler).

It is known that Hitler himself held Ford in high regard, one of the few Americans praised in the Third Reich. Various sources also claim that Ford’s financial support helped establish and strengthen the Nazi party in the 1920s. In one interview with American journalists before coming to power, Adolf Hitler placed Ford’s portrait in his office to show how respectfully he regarded him.

Ford was awarded the highest award for foreigners by the Reich, and when France was occupied by the Germans, Ford’s factory was not nationalized as a sign of respect and continued to operate. Several Ford factories opened in Germany under the Nazis, continuing to operate throughout the war.]

When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I’d have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can’t fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It’s not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing.

⭕🇿🇦🇺🇸 South Africa could stop supplying raw materials to the US if Washington threatens sanctions and cuts off funding, South Africa’s minister says

🗣 “If they don’t give us money let’s not give them minerals,” South Africa’s Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe said.

Mantashe argued that the US takes the continent’s minerals while simultaneously claiming to withhold funding. He said that South Africans have valuable resources and “are not just beggars.”

The day before, US President Donald Trump threatened to halt funding to South Africa pending an investigation into land confiscation and mistreatment of “certain classes of people.” In response, the South African presidential administration stated that Cyril Ramaphosa anticipates discussing matters of mutual concern with President Trump.

Once Hamas is replaced and its sources of funding are cut off, we must hunt down all Hamas terrorists in their tunnels and hideouts.

We must not let this opportunity pass. Coordination with the Americans is crucial… We must continue to bring back our hostages, dismantle Hamas, weaken Iran, and make progress in normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries, which can be done in the coming months.

⭕ 🇺🇸 Palantir Technologies: The Future of USAID?

Earlier today, we made the claim that, “in coordination with Musk’s X, which will collect unprecedented amounts of data, Peter Thiel’s Palantir will run the data analytics and use it to come up with methods of statecraft and foreign policy previously unthinkable by intelligence organizations. Palantir has been making partnerships with foreign governments for years in preparation for this.”

This raises two questions:

1. How has Palantir prepared itself to be able to exert influence over foreign governments (what industries have they infiltrated)?

2. How many partnerships with foreign governments has Palantir made so far?

Let’s answer both:

Palantir has extensive partnerships with governments throughout Europe, and has been given contracts to work with European governments in the following capacities:

Providing data analytics, intelligence, and logistics for European law enforcement, counterterrorism task forces, defense departments, and armed forces (including mission planning). They notably have collaborated with NATO and the EU to support Ukraine in their war effort.

Additionally, through their data analytics and logistical support as well as in other capacities, they have been contracted by European governments to assist with supply chain management, financial services, tax auditing, transportation and infrastructure projects, healthcare services (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic), immigration and asylum operations, and building government web servers (through Palantir Government Web Services).

Since doing data analytics for all these industries throughout Europe and the world, Palantir has become one of the most significant intelligence forces in the world.

We were able to find that the following European countries have awarded contracts to Palantir since at least 2015 when France awarded Palantir a contract to assist with counterterrorism efforts (there are likely many more, but we were only able to find information about the following):

Italy, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, France, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Denmark, and the UK.

In Asia, including the Middle East, Palantir has worked with governments in all the aforementioned ways as European governments, as well as for disaster-relief logistics in Japan and, notably, intelligence and data analytics for the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza while they were carrying out their genocide. We were able to find that the following Asian countries have awarded contracts to Palantir.

The UAE, Qatar, Israel, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and India.

Some more notable countries Palantir has contracted with:

The Australian Department of Defense partnered with Palantir in August 2024.
Palantir was given a contract with Canada’s Department of National Defense in 2019.
Palantir has contracts in New Zealand, Mexico, and South Africa.

For America, the issue with giving all this influence over the world to the CIA-backed Palantir is that it is not a one-way street. It is a channel through which foreign governments can also exert influence over the United States. When Palantir has all this influence over the world, the US government becomes dependent on it, a private company, to wield that influence. And because Palantir is reliant on contracts from foreign governments for its revenue, it can easily be influenced by foreign governments.

JD Vance, who is Peter Thiel’s protege and who Thiel heavily pushed for the VP position, is the Trojan Horse through which Palantir and the Thiel network have started to merge with the- federal government to become the New Deep State, with a future Vance presidency to complete this amalgamation as the ultimate goal.
[in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy of Prof JRR Tolkien, the Palantiri, of which this Five Eyes spyden was inspired, were tools of spying and direct mindcontrol – called the “seeing stones”. At the end, they came to be dominated by the chief protagonist and fallen angel, or Maia, the dark lord Sauron, whose symbol was the One All Seeing Eye. Go figure! And note the Eye symbol embedded with Palantir’s logo.

⭕ More than 20,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from their homes in the West Bank, as Israel escalates its military operations in the occupied territories. This ongoing campaign, marked by the systematic destruction of homes and critical infrastructure, mirrors the tactics employed in Gaza, aiming to uproot Palestinian communities and enforce a policy of forced relocation. Israeli forces have targeted residential neighborhoods, schools, and public utilities, leaving entire towns in ruins and pushing thousands of families into a state of perpetual displacement. This aggressive expansion of military activities in the West Bank represents not just an assault on Palestinian land, but a deliberate strategy to fragment the social fabric and undermine the Palestinian presence in their own homeland.
⭕ Israel is actively destroying civilian homes and infrastructure in the villages of Blida and Yarun in southern Lebanon, escalating tensions and committing clear violations of the ceasefire agreement. These acts of aggression are not isolated incidents but part of a broader strategy aimed at increasing the reconstruction cost, turn the society against the resistance, destabilising Lebanon and exerting military pressure beyond its borders.

Negotiations on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement have begun, Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif al-Qanua said.

Earlier, Israel also sent a high-level delegation to Doha to discuss further implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

The initial deal envisaged three stages. In the first, Hamas would release 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for 1,500 Palestinian prisoners. The exchange would continue in the second and third stages, the terms of which are still being negotiated. The third phase of the truce would also begin rebuilding Gaza’s destroyed infrastructure

🚨 Brussels to Recognize Gaza Genocide 🚨

The Brussels Parliament has taken a historic step toward recognizing the genocide in Gaza and calling for sanctions against Israel. This is a direct result of the pressure and awareness raised by the #March30Movement’s electoral initiative, #VivaPalestina, during the 2024 campaign.

From the very beginning, Viva Palestina was built around one key demand: that the Brussels Parliament recognize the genocide and take concrete action. Throughout the campaign, we engaged in debates with political parties, mobilized public opinion, and pushed for real political commitments. Today, we see the results—our demand has shaped political reality.

With the resolution adopted at the commission level, we now call on all parties to vote in favor in the plenary session and ensure Brussels sets a precedent for justice in Palestine.

This is more than just a symbolic victory—it proves that organized pressure works, that political engagement matters, and that movements like ours create real change. Whether it is through the #HindRajabFoundation on the legal level or other branches of the movement, we are making an impact.

⭕ US President Donald Trump is ill-advised on the Palestinian question. He can offer all sorts of alternative territories. Still, he will not expel the Palestinians from their land in Gaza and the West Bank to go along with the criminal plan of Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an ICC warrant for his arrest for war crimes, to steal more Palestinian land. Netanyahu fed Trump’s EGO and flirted with him for his “original ideas” that are old and part of the “Greater Israel” map to annex more Palestinian and Arab territories.
⭕ Saudi Arabia’s position is crucial here: if Saudi Arabia accepts normalisation with Israel without an effective Palestinian state, then Benjamin Netanyahu will be “rewarded” for his crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Palestinians.
⭕ A disastrous plan for the lives of US soldiers and a new Iraq looms on the horizon:

President Donald Trump said, “The US will take over Gaza, own it, and level it.” This could lead to US boots on the ground and a guerrilla war against American troops just to fulfil Israel’s desire to drive the Palestinians out of their land.

This is the time when the Palestinians will have more supporters in the Arab world than they ever dreamed of.

⭕ 🇨🇩 DRC climbs to second place in USAID spending in 2024 ahead of violence

According to a Sputnik correspondent’s analysis of public data on US foreign assistance from ForeignAssistance.gov, a US government website promoting transparency, in 2024, USAID set aside $1.34 billion, out of a total of $35.4 billion, for the Central African country, putting it in second place right after Ukraine, with its $6 billion. For comparison, in 2023, the DRC was in fifth place with $943 million, and in 2022 it was in eighth place, receiving only $837 million.

Most of the requested funds for 2024, $868.7 million, are dedicated to helping the country with emergency response. This is followed by funds for dealing with AIDS and basic health issues, $92.5 million and $87.7 million, respectively.

Following the unsuccessful Angolan mediation, the M23 armed group has renewed its offensive in eastern DRC. Congolese authorities accuse Rwanda of supporting the rebels, which Rwanda denies, and demand troop withdrawal.

⭕ 🇨🇩 Over 2,000 killed in battles buried near the city of Goma in eastern DRC

💬 “Health ministry officials informed me that over 2,000 bodies have been buried. This gives an idea of the scale of the killings,” the Angolan agency Angop quoted a spokesperson for the DRC government, Patrick Muyaya, as saying.

According to Muyaya, these figures do not include those buried in mass graves. He added that the DRC authorities are documenting all war crimes committed by Rwanda on DRC territory so that the adversary “answers for everything in some form.”

🇺🇳 Moreover, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that hospitals in Goma are overcrowded with wounded, and bodies lie in the streets.

💬 “Morgues are at capacity, and hospitals and health centers are overwhelmed with injured people,” the statement said.

Humanitarian organizations “continue to assess the impact of the looting of their warehouses.” They are trying to “resume the delivery of aid in and around Goma.” Efforts are being made to chlorinate water, but its shortage forces Goma residents to rely on untreated water from Lake Kivu.
⭕ 🇵🇸 Palestinian Authority repeatedly refused to return to Gaza Strip, senior Hamas official says

In January, senior Hamas official Basem Naim told Sputnik that the current administration in the Gaza Strip will remain in charge until an agreement on a new government is reached.

💬 “We do not block the interactions with the Palestinian Authority [PA]. We believe that the authority should return to the Gaza Strip. We have already offered them to return twice, but they have refused,” Mousa Abu Marzook, the deputy head of the movement’s political bureau, told Sputnik.

The Ramallah-based authority has taken part in the latest discussions on forming a government of national unity that have taken place in Cairo and in other agreements on the matter in Beijing and in Moscow, he said, adding that during all discussions the authority refused to return to the enclave.

As for the oppressors, God has warned them of punishment and retribution in this world and the Hereafter. In Surah Al-Imran (verse 21), Allah says: “Indeed, those who disbelieve and hinder [others] from the way of Allah have certainly gone far astray.” Likewise, in Surah Al-Baqarah (verse 254): “Do not give your money to them, for Allah does not like the oppressors.”

The fighters in Gaza are the strongest warriors on the face of the earth, and each one of them is worth ten thousand fighters, whether they are from the Zionists or the Americans. As for Trump’s statements, we regard them as mere balloons with no value. We promise the Palestinian people that we are with them and stand by their side; their fate is our fate.

We in Yemen have prepared an army of fierce fighters who long to confront the occupying Zionists and Americans, fighting them tooth and nail instead of using guns.

We are ready on the trigger in case the Zionist criminal returns to war against the Palestinian people. If the agreement with Gaza is violated, the world will witness a heavy surprise, and we will trample on Trump’s nose and his Nazi army.

⭕ 🇷🇺 “Greater Israel” Soviet Poster from the 1980’s

The USSR maintained a strong anti-Zionist stance throughout the Cold War, viewing Israel as a Western proxy and an aggressor in the Middle East.

After Israel aligned with the U.S. in the 1960s, the USSR shifted support to Arab nations, including Egypt, Syria, and the PLO, countering Israeli expansion.

The USSR framed Zionism as a colonial movement, denouncing Israeli occupation and backing Palestinian resistance. Anti-Zionist rhetoric was widespread in Soviet media. Israel was seen as an imperialist outpost in the Middle East, while the USSR positioned itself as a protector of anti-colonial struggles, including against Zionism.

While Western narratives dismiss critiques of Zionism as conspiracy, the USSR openly denounced it as a threat to regional stability.

💠@ejmalrai:
⭕ President Donald Trump has indeed proposed relocating 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt, Jordan, and other countries with the intent to reconstruct Gaza after “emptying” it of its native population. This constitutes a severe violation of international law and human rights norms.

Forced Displacement and Transfer: The Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits the forcible transfer of protected civilian populations from their homes. Article 49 states: “Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the occupying power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.”

This proposal would qualify as forcible displacement—even if couched as “voluntary”—if it arises from unbearable living conditions imposed by external forces, effectively giving Palestinians no real choice but to leave.

Right of Return: UN General Assembly Resolution 194 enshrines the right of return for Palestinian refugees to their homes and properties from which they were displaced. Any attempt to permanently remove Palestinians from Gaza undermines this internationally recognized right.

Ethnic Cleansing: The proposal could be interpreted as a form of ethnic cleansing, which is defined as the deliberate removal of an ethnic or religious group from a particular area. This is considered a crime against humanity under international criminal law.

Destabilization of Egypt and Jordan: Both Egypt and Jordan have consistently rejected any plans to absorb large numbers of Palestinian refugees. They view such proposals as threats to their national stability and sovereignty. The sudden influx of millions of Palestinians could strain resources, inflame political tensions, and risk destabilizing both countries.

Undermining Palestinian National Identity: Relocating Palestinians would attempt to sever their connection to their homeland, undermining the Palestinian national identity and struggle for sovereignty. This could lead to widespread regional backlash, further destabilizing the Middle East.

Moral and Humanitarian Crisis: The notion of “reconstructing Gaza” after removing its people suggests that Palestinian lives and histories are disposable, reducing them to obstacles in a geopolitical strategy. This dehumanizing perspective runs contrary to the principles of human dignity and self-determination.

Right to Self-Determination: The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) guarantees all peoples the right to self-determination. Forcing Palestinians to leave Gaza undermines their ability to exercise this right within their historical and cultural homeland.

Collective Punishment: By proposing the removal of an entire population, Trump’s plan may be seen as collective punishment, which is prohibited under international law. It holds a whole civilian population accountable for the actions of a few, violating basic human rights norms.
⭕ Of all the US presidents, Donald Trump is my favourite.
(Read the rest)

Unlike many politicians who cloak their intentions in diplomatic language and lofty ideals, Trump is an unapologetic and straightforward self-proclaimed world emperor, bully and thug. He doesn’t pretend to uphold international laws while secretly violating them, nor does he hide behind the facade of promoting ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ while engaging in actions that contradict those principles.

Instead, Trump lays his cards on the table. He openly asserts his willingness to bully allies and adversaries, making no secret of his belief that the US should dominate the global stage. In many ways, he presents himself as the self-proclaimed emperor of the world, embracing this role with a level of candour and audacity rarely seen in modern politics. His lack of hypocrisy—however controversial his positions may be—sets him apart from predecessors who often masked their imperialist ambitions with rhetoric of moral superiority.

While many may criticize his approach as reckless or divisive, there’s an undeniable appeal in his blunt honesty. With Trump, what you see is what you get, and in a world often governed by double standards and political deceit, that kind of transparency is, in its way, revealing.

⭕🔸 Rhyming History

Just for the record, I assess a near-zero possibility that the fading empire will commit anything approaching a meaningful military force against Mexico. And if they send a token force, it is bound to encounter more than it bargained for against the drug cartels.

No, I continue to believe Iran remains the only credible near-term target for the depleted American legions.

The thinking of the strategic imbeciles in the imperial court will be that shutting down Iranian energy exports to China will constitute a potent preparatory move against Beijing.

And once the Persian Gulf is closed to China, then the US can prepare in earnest to deal with the Chinese in their own neighborhood.

In other words, Iran and the IRGC will be playing the role of Rommel’s Afrika Korps in WW2. The Persisches Korps: not so weak as to be harmless, but weak enough to be overwhelmed without too much trouble.

Or so they believe the case to be. (I have my doubts.)

At any rate, if Iran IS the target of the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult, it must be preceded by securing the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb for imperial seaborne logistics.

That will be the first tell.

Trump can partner with the Shienbaum govt and use hybrid, high tech warfare with Mexican boots on ground to end the cartels era. They will collapse as the border closes killing their profits, and go rogue against Mexicans for income. That speeds up Mexico’s destruction of the gangs.

Everyone thought El Salvador was an impossible fix. Not so. Murder rate drastically lowered, Bukeke 85% approval rating, elected (skirting the Constitution) for an additional term.

He described recent US actions as “only American efforts to save face and work to achieve an American return after its fading role in the world arena.”

🌍 The researcher also warned that justifying intervention in Gaza could set a precedent for similar actions in Africa.

💬 “Justifying the existence of its intervention in the occupation of Gaza may open a wide door to major American moves towards the Horn of Africa,” he noted, pointing to Washington’s ongoing efforts to establish a stronger foothold on the continent.
⭕ 🇺🇸🇿🇦 US pressure on South Africa over Palestine cause: A political maneuver?

In an interview with Sputnik Africa, Egyptian political researcher Farouk Hussein Abu Daif described the US investigation into land confiscation and alleged mistreatment of citizens as “only a means of American pressure against South Africa, especially in light of its clear position in supporting the Palestinian cause since the beginning of the war.”

According to him, this move aligns with broader Western strategies to pressure nations that challenge their geopolitical agendas.

Abu Daif suggested that South Africa might retaliate economically, particularly by restricting mineral exports to the US.

💬 “The coming period may witness a move by the South African government to stop exporting minerals to the United States in response to Washington’s decision to stop funding the country,” he noted, emphasizing growing African resistance to Western influence.
⭕ 🇺🇸🇵🇸 US strategy in Gaza is all about military influence and geopolitical interests, Egyptian expert argues

Egyptian political researcher Farouk Hussein Abu Daif has suggested that US President Donald Trump’s remarks about “taking over” Gaza reflect Washington’s broader strategy of military intervention under the guise of security.

💬 “[Trump’s stance serves to] provide political cover for Netanyahu to continue the war and avoid international pressure while weakening any solution based on a two-state solution,” he told Sputnik Africa.

This, he noted, aligns with past US actions that have prolonged conflicts rather than resolved them.

Regarding the possibility of an American military presence in Gaza, Abu Daif warned that it could amount to a new form of colonial occupation.

Sorry if I keep harping on this, it is of utmost importance. The Moshiach messages in symbolism and deserves reflection

We discussed before Ursula Le Guin and her parables of Naming and Unnaming – the power of words.

As potent, and arguably MORE, is imagery, drawn by another seminal fantasist of the Big Club. He drew as powerful imagery in a book published around the same time (at height of “Sex, Drugs, & Rock & Roll” 1960s and Cali scene – what an anointed generation!). I was struck of this with the bull statue behind Trump and Satanyahoo.

here’s the plot.

The fairytale book makes implicit the bull is metaphysical (ie diving deeper, is a principality) and used by cruel human kings to corral “the good” from spreading, and thus maintenance of vastly unequal dispensations, such as class, quality of life, master-servant hierarchies, etc. — the very “way of life” that is non-negotiable and over which is being fought the Last War.

It is these simple children’s tales, as well as in Hollywood and other arts, the criminals tend to divulge the fundaments of their system. And at the End, all that arose and really happened in the Beginning of History will be made manifest, including the deities which were never abandoned by fallen elites, but continued down bloodlines through the many millennia, under ever recast names and guise. But the bull shape always remained, if forced to be less anthropomorphic.

I’ve shared most of these images before on other threads. Note the esoteric duality in colors, gender, seeming power imbalance. And how immeasurably powerful and irresistible Evil appears, even in the instant before absolute final defeat, with the defeat always falling to the tiniest white lights. (Gaza anyone?) The plot is also interesting in depicting the defeat involving being swept back into the Sea

⭕ 🇳🇪 Niger orders the expulsion of the International Committee of the Red Cross, a report says

📄 In a note verbale from Niger’s Foreign Ministry, the government announced the termination of agreement with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), demanding the closure of its offices and the immediate departure of expatriate staff, local media outlet Air Info reported, citing sources.

While no official explanation was given for the decision, the report noted that in November, Niger criticized the EU’s allocation of humanitarian aid to NGOs, including the ICRC, accusing it of unilateral actions that lacked transparency and cooperation.

The ICRC expulsion reportedly comes less than three months after a similar measure was taken against French-based international humanitarian NGO ACTED and its Nigerien partner APBE.

🚑 Although the ICRC, which has been operating in Niger since 1990, has yet to formally respond, on Tuesday the humanitarian organization published a report on its activities in the West African country in 2024, in which it recalled its commitments, including providing medical assistance to more than 120,000 people affected by the armed conflicts.
⭕ 🇳🇪 Niger сriticizes Red Cross for actions contradicting sovereignty goals

In Niger, the Red Cross has been accused of conducting “activities that are inconsistent with our country’s vision of fighting for its sovereignty and independence,” according to Bana Ibrahim, a member of the Patriotic Front for Sovereignty, in an interview with Sputnik Africa.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been ordered by Nigerien authorities to leave the country by February 4th. It is among the NGOs “that have not understood the change that has taken place in our country.”

Bana Ibrahim highlighted the “shortcomings” of the ICRC, pointing to “cases of disappearance of trucks containing medicines.” He also mentioned that the NGO declined to adhere to the rule of having a military escort while conducting operations in specific conflict zones.

💬 “In the United States and France, one never sees the ICRC, in the name of any neutrality, siding with terrorists or rebels and treating them; it is only in Africa, and in Niger, that these organizations engage in such practices,” he said.

Bana Ibrahim believes the ICRC exercises a kind of “dictate” that must “cease.” |media|

⭕ 🇺🇸🇨🇩 The US with its record funding for the DRC is a real sponsor of violence in the country’s east, a Pan-Africanist says

“We know how the US imperialists work. Everyone knows that the Americans are actively involved in what is happening in [North] Kivu, it is an open secret,” coordinator of the Panafrican Emergency Movement in the DRC Fortifi Lushima told Sputnik Africa.

🔥The West’s strategy is the one “of a fireman pyromaniac,” the Pan-Africanist explained.

The US strategy “is to plunder Congo’s minerals with the support of Paul Kagame’s Rwandan army,” he added.

💰According to public data on US foreign assistance, the USAID allocated $1.344 billion to the DRC in 2024 out of a total of $35.4 billion. In January, the M23 armed group launched a new offensive in eastern DRC, taking control of the Goma city in the North Kivu province.
⭕ 💸 Ukraine remained top recipient of USAID assistance at 27.2% over past three years

According to a Sputnik correspondent’s analysis of to the latest figures from ForeignAssistance.gov, a US government website promoting transparency, Ukraine began to top USAID’s global spending chart in 2022, when it received $9.95 billion out of the agency’s $41.5 billion in spending that year. In 2023, this increased to $16.43 billion, accounting for 38.8% of the year’s $42.4 billion total. Ukraine continued to lead in 2024, receiving $6.05 billion out of a total of $35.4 billion.

As a result, as the leading beneficiary of USAID funding in the past three years, Ukraine was obligated $32.4 billion, making up 27.2% of the total $119.3 billion distributed by the agency.

At the same time, a large portion of the USAID funding for Kiev has gone into direct budget support for the government of Ukraine.

After an additional $3.9 billion in budget support in August 2024, Ukraine’s total direct budget support from USAID since 2022 reached $26.8 billion, according to the latest report on the overseas contingency operation “Operation Atlantic Resolve” released last November.

🤔 Given the uncertainty surrounding USAID’s future under the Trump administration, further economic aid to Ukraine could be at risk, raising concerns about whether pensioners and school employees will continue to receive proper payments in the future.

⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇳 Sanctions block Russian aid to WFP, leaving thousands without food assistance, head of FAO’s Russian branch says

“Russia is an important contributor to World Food Program [WFP], and the sanctions imposed on financial transactions did not allow last year to transfer very important Russian contributions of several dozens of millions of dollars to WFP account,” head of FAO’s Russian branch Oleg Kobyakov told Sputnik Africa at a press briefing marking its 10th anniversary.

🔺According to Kobyakov, anti-Russian sanctions have deprived several thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people of food aid.

Despite challenges, Russia has pursued bilateral aid programs, including delivering 200,000 tonnes of wheat to six African nations, the speaker said, adding that Russian contribution of wheat to those countries amounted from 6 to 23% of the deficit in the grain market.

🌍 Russia also seeks to strengthen its role in assisting Africa through technical aid, scientific cooperation, and fostering dialogue to boost agricultural development on the continent, he pointed out.
[the sanctions on Russia have global targets, way beyond the Eurocrazies. Russia is the largest exporter of wheat and grains, and likely fertilizer, in the world. The criminals desire to seed famine by depriving import-dependent poor nations of those grains. The same nations in which their Economic Hitmen created forced into cash crops and dependency on external foodstuffs.. collapse planned generations ago via manufactured starvation as so many traditional societies were stripped of subsistence farming and survival mechanisms]
⭕ 🇷🇺⛔️Anti-Russian sanctions politicize humanitarian aid and violate international principles, representative to FAO says

🏦 Due to sanctions, the WFP cannot receive Russia’s contribution to its account because the funds are frozen in US banks, which politicizes humanitarian aid and violates international principles, Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the FAO Dilara Ravilova-Borovik told Sputnik Africa at a press briefing to mark the 10th anniversary of FAO’s Russian branch.

“From our point of view, it’s an absolutely crazy situation because this is like a politicization of humanitarian aid, not from WFP side, but from the countries that use the sanctions against my country [Russia] to stop the humanitarian work. From our point of view, this is absolutely a violation of the principles of international humanitarian aid,” Ravilova-Borovik said.

While UN agencies such as the WFP are facing severe budget shortfalls because they are denied access to Russian funds, humanitarian aid, especially food, medicine and some other emergency assistance, cannot be “objects to play with,” she emphasized.

🚨The issue extends beyond the WFP, affecting many other humanitarian organizations such as UNICEF and FAO, Ravilova-Borovik added, urging to prioritize resolving the impact of sanctions on humanitarian aid globally.

🔻 Will Chamberlain: This you bro? |links|
🔻 WS: Yep. Unlike so many, I am not in thrall to the manufactured myths that continue to hold sway in the public mind of the relentlessly propagandized and steadily eroding Anglo-American empire.

Sure, the IAF is still able (if provided with a steady supply of rapidly dwindling US munitions) to wreak havoc on the defenseless civilian populations in its immediate neighborhood. But the IDF has been SEVERELY attrited, and its ground warfare capabilities against both Hamas and Hezbollah were exposed as ill-suited to deal with even the modest firepower of 21st century irregular forces.

The imaginary narrative of “destroying Iranian air defenses” will remain popular in certain circles for a while yet, but the IAF will remain west of the Tigris into the foreseeable future.

And if, with their American benefactors joining and emboldening them, they attempt again to the inflict a strategic defeat against Iran, we will finally see revealed the acute vulnerability of 20th century airpower to 21st century air defenses.
🔻 Will Chamberlain: Real talk – you can be interesting to read, but you seem to get stuck in your analysis regardless of how facts on the ground undermine it

Israel/Hezbollah was a remarkably one-sided war in Israel’s favor, totally contrary to your predictions. How have you changed your outlook based on that?
🔻 WS: What nonsense. The Israelis were not able to make ANY meaningful progress on the ground against Hezbollah, and they suffered significant losses in men and machines in the attempt. Anyone who believes Hezbollah combat capability has been meaningfully reduced is ignorant of the facts. The IDF pushed for a cease fire because they were demoralized by the entire undertaking. And Hezbollah, as is their wont, was content to take a break from their busy summer in order to rest, reorganize, and replenish. This pattern has repeated multiple times over the past quarter century.

Meanwhile, are Israeli civilians returning en masse to the cities and towns they were compelled to evacuate in the face of relentless Hezbollah rocket, drone, and missile attacks? If not, why not?
🔻 Sleepy Socrates: They literally killed the entire leadership. What are you talking about?
🔻 WS: Bully for them. But they didn’t meaningfully attrit Hezbollah combat capability. Now the leadership is being reconstituted — just as it has been on multiple occasions in the past.

Just for the record, I assess a near-zero possibility that the fading empire will commit anything approaching a meaningful military force against Mexico. And if they send a token force, it is bound to encounter more than it bargained for against the drug cartels.

No, I continue to believe Iran remains the only credible near-term target for the depleted American legions. …
🔻 C1: Without a strategy they will just stack bodies, leave and the cartels will be back to business. Just like Afghanistan
🔻 C2: Correct. And Trump is strong on bluster and bullying, crap on strategy. But he can delegate, and we’ve got plenty of Mexican-American hard ass military and police who know the cartels inside and out. See the Shawn Ryan show on YouTube show for examples.
🔻 C1: You are talking tactics, not strategy. This is the reason US hasn’t won a war since ww2. US idea of strategy is just layers of tactics. Strategy is inherently political. The purpose of a military is to achieve a political outcome via-force of arms.
🔻 WS: All true.

But the most meaningful reality is that the US military doesn’t have the strength to waste even a little bit on the Mexican drug cartels.

They have strength for one more big campaign, and they need to concentrate the remnants of their force.
🧵 Last Stop Before Willoughby

Linked below is a particularly mediocre specimen of denial cope, but still worth our examination.

There is a whole school of emerging argument that the US needn’t “catch up” to anything; that the capabilities of potential adversaries are all illusory.

We are encouraged to believe that the purportedly impressive performance of Russian high-speed strike missiles is overstated hype; that Chinese analogues of these weapons are even more suspect.

Presumably Iran and North Korea are even less formidable when it comes to missilry that could threaten and even defeat American air, ground, and naval targets.

💠 @DDGeopolitics:
⭕ 🔹Full statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense on repelling the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempted counteroffensive in Kursk:

On the morning of February 6, Ukrainian armed formations attempted counter-offensive actions in the direction of the settlements of Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Ulanok in the Kursk region. For this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed up to two mechanized battalions on armored vehicles. The enemy’s assault groups launched several waves of attacks in the specified direction.

As of 14:00, the attacks of the Ukrainian armed formations have been repelled, the settlements are under the control of Russian troops. The Russian Armed Forces continue to defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.
⭕ 🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 For those wondering why Ukraine is launching these attacks again—this follows a familiar pattern.

About a month ago, the last major “Kursk Kamikaze” assault occurred just days before NATO’s Ramstein meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

This time, the attack appears to coincide with next week’s Munich Security Conference, where Trump’s representative is reportedly set to present a U.S. “peace plan” for Ukraine.

As always, Ukraine is trying to stay relevant in the eyes of its Western backers—essentially signaling: “Look at us! We’re still fighting!”

During a White House meeting, Bill Gates urged President Trump to continue funding USAID, arguing that it would be difficult for the U.S. to recreate a similar foreign aid mechanism if the agency were abolished, NBC reports.

Gates admitted that it remains unclear what kind of assistance the U.S. will continue providing to foreign countries under Trump’s administration. However, he made the case that USAID plays a “unique” role in global development.

Interestingly, Gates also confirmed that he has not met with Elon Musk, who was a key figure behind the push to shut down USAID.

What kind of “unique roles” does USAID play in “global development” that are of interest to Bill Gates? Propaganda for Vaccines? Using media to cover up for Biolabs?

The Justice Department has also dismantled the Foreign Influence Task Force, which was used to police so-called “foreign influence” campaigns. Before the 2024 election, the U.S. government ramped up efforts to suppress Russian media and online discourse, citing alleged interference.

⭕️ ❗️“Doctors Without Borders” in the service of secret services and terrorists?

The international independent non-profit medical humanitarian organization “Doctors Without Borders” (MSF) has existed for more than 50 years and enjoys great authority all over the world.

🇫🇷But it turns out that this organization is used by the French secret services to arm terrorists!

🇲🇱This is happening in Mali. The current government of this African country has strained relations with France. The Malian leadership insisted on the withdrawal of French troops stationed there from the country.

Not wanting to lose this foothold, Paris has since been trying to overthrow the current regime in Mali, using the terrorist groups “Islamic State in the Greater Sahara” and the “Coordination Movement “Azawad” for this.

Initially, the French supplied weapons and ammunition to the militants opposing government troops, cynically violating the airspace of a sovereign state.

But after the Malian government complained about Paris to the UN, the French resorted to trickery.

Now the weapons are delivered by air to the Ansongo airfield under the guise of delivering humanitarian medical supplies.

The carrier is the organization “Doctors Without Borders”, whose employees, in accordance with international agreements, have the right to immunity.

That is, their transport is not subject to searches, no one can detain them.
In addition, this organization brings unmanned aerial vehicles to Mali. Allegedly for their humanitarian purposes.

But in reality they are used as attack UAVs against the Malian army (EAM). Against this background, it is no longer surprising that MSF hospitals in the cities of Ansongo and Gao are used to provide medical care to wounded terrorists, who are simply not registered in the logs there.

Of course, all this seriously damages the reputation of MSF and calls into question their presence in Mali.

“If I become president again, I would leave BRICS and the World Health Organization,” Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.

The statement comes weeks after US President Donald Trump and Argentinian President Javier Milei, allegedly Bolsonaro’s main foreign allies, decided to leave several international organizations and bodies.

🪖The ex-president also promised to sign a “sound defense agreement” with the US, aimed at fighting terrorism on the border between Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, and to allow the creation of Washington’s military base in the region.

⭕ ‼️ The Thang dismantles another clown general’s cluelessness; dispenses hard truths for those who would make China the scapegoat for America’s failures.
[links:
🔻 Sony Thang:
“Your words are wrapped in the illusion of generosity, as if history began with a benevolent America bestowing gifts upon an “ungrateful” China.

The U.S. didn’t “give” China access—it pursued it.

American corporations, hungry for profit, lobbied for engagement.

Wall Street built bridges to Beijing not out of charity, but out of greed.

U.S. businesses flocked to China to capitalize on labor, efficiency, and opportunity.

Your economy flourished because of it.

If this was a “friendly gesture,” then tell me—was it also friendship when American companies hollowed out their own industrial base, moved factories offshore, and turned a blind eye to the consequences for their own workers?

Was it generosity when they reaped billions in revenue from China while offloading their social and economic failures onto globalization?

And now, when consequences come knocking, you claim betrayal.

The abused was never China—it was the American worker, sacrificed at the altar of corporate expansion.

And now, rather than owning up to decades of miscalculations, you rewrite history to paint yourselves as victims.

As for fentanyl, decoupling will not erase addiction, nor will it eliminate demand.

Fentanyl is not grown in Chinese fields—it is synthesized by American companies, distributed through American networks, and consumed by American citizens.

The crisis is American.

Shifting supply chains will not change the appetite that fuels it.

Your streets will not be cleansed by economic isolation, because the poison comes from within.

So, decouple if you must.

But do not pretend it is an act of strength.

It is an admission of failure.”]

⭕‼️ Iranian Air Defenses

Not so “destroyed” as we were led to believe.

Remember back in October when the Israelis smoked a decoy Vietnam-era Hawk missile system in Iran, and then the western media ran with the story that the IAF had “destroyed Iran’s entire air defense system” — including (it was claimed) all of their Russian-made S-300 systems?

Well, now we know that not only was that a big fat lie, but Iran has now unveiled its upgraded Bavar-373 long-range (300 km) AD system, and shown it in action alongside its obviously not destroyed Russian S-300s — all of which are now reportedly interoperative.

There is a good reason Israeli F-35s and F-15s stopped well short of crossing the Tigris and entering into Iranian airspace, and instead spit out a few long-range ALBMs which achieved dubious results against a few static Iranian targets, while the IAF skedaddled back home to the relative safety of their bases.

How many Bavar-373s and S-300s can Iran now deploy against a US/Israel airstrike package? That remains to be seen. But I can’t imagine the US/Israel is in a rush to find out.

I don’t think people have processed just how crazy this report published in Israel’s Hayom newspaper (owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, the casino mogul) is

It describes how “senior US lawmakers review [a] plan linking Gaza refugee resettlement to US aid to Arab countries. The proposal, which reportedly has support from senior officials in both parties, calls on the US to condition foreign aid to Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, and Turkey on those countries accepting a certain number of refugees”.

In other words this is the US actively planning the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians (with “support from senior officials in both parties”), by looking into tying aid to Arab countries to them receiving the refugees. Which obviously completely contradicts what the Biden administration is publicly saying on the matter, and violates just about every principle of international law.

As described in the report, “the plan even goes so far as to envision how many Gazan residents each of these countries will receive: one million in Egypt, half a million for Turkey, 250,000 for Iraq, and another 250,000 for Yemen”.

Which totals to… the entirety of the Gazan population. |link|

⭕ —❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei:

‘Negotiations with the United States are useless, and will not benefit the country in any way’

In his speech today, the Supreme Leader once again emphasized that negotiating with the U.S. is not of any benefit to the Iranian nation:

‘For some time now, you have been hearing, in newspapers, in cyberspace, and in the words of various people, that there is discussion about negotiations with America.

They mention the word ‘negotiation’, saying, ‘Sir, negotiation is a good thing,’ as if someone is opposed to the goodness of negotiation. Today, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the busiest foreign ministries globally. That is its job, after all. It negotiates with countries around the world — Eastern, Western, all kinds — it travels back and forth, speaks, and signs agreements.

The exception that exists is America. Of course, I do not mention the Zionist regime because it is not a real country. The Zionist regime is a gang of criminals who came and occupied a land and are committing crimes. That is not a subject of discussion. The exception is America. Why is it an exception? What is the reason?

Negotiating with America has no effect on solving the country’s problems. We must understand this. They should not make it seem as if sitting at the table with that government will solve this or that problem. No, not at all.

No problem is solved through negotiations with America. The reason? Experience. In the 2010’s, we sat down and negotiated with America for about two years. A treaty was formed with them (JCPOA).

Our government sat down and negotiated. They went, came, sat, stood, negotiated, talked, laughed, shook hands, became friends — they did everything. A treaty was formed. In this treaty, the Iranian side was very generous. It gave many concessions to the other side. But the Americans did not implement the treaty.

The very person who is now in office [Trump] tore up this treaty. He said, ‘I will tear it up,’ and he did. Even before he came, those with whom this treaty was signed did not implement it. The treaty was meant to lift U.S. sanctions. The U.S. sanctions were not lifted at all.

We should learn from this experience. We gave concessions, we negotiated, we compromised, but we did not achieve any result. That is what happened. Even this treaty, with all the concessions we gave, was still undermined, violated, and torn apart by the other side.

Negotiating with such a government should not be done. Negotiation with them is neither wise, nor intelligent, nor honorable. We must solve our problems internally, not relying on outside factors.

As for the Americans, they comment on us, they talk, they express their opinions, they issue threats. If they threaten us, we will threaten them. If they carry out their threat, we will carry out our threat as well. If they violate the security of our nation, we will undoubtedly violate their security as well. This is our duty.’
⭕ NOTE: The Supreme Leader’s comments today are quite unequivocal, and honestly unprecedented. In Iran, Khamenei’s word is final.

Negotiations with the U.S. are now truly off the table, unless President Pezeshkian and his administration openly challenge the words of the Supreme Leader.
[as with Russia in 404 and East Europe, they can afford to wait out the dying Empire. To the bitter end. And shall live to look back on the last degenerate satanic empire, the feet and toes of mixed iron and clay in the dream icon]

Washington “has been feeding the Rwandan army since 1994 so that it can serve its interests of destabilization and plundering of Congolese minerals,” Fortifi Lushima, National coordinator of the Pan-Africanist Emergencies movement in the DRC, told Sputnik Africa.

He noted that coltan and cobalt are the main minerals coveted by the US.

The United States “is actively involved in what is happening in Kivu”, he added. For him, this is a strategy of a thief who steals your goods and then offers you some relief.

Lushima said that he is happy that the US president can reduce the aid, because for Africans, this aid is like chains that the West uses to “better dominate Africa.”

⭕ 🇺🇸🇿🇦 Trump issues an executive order to cut US financial aid to South Africa, citing the nation’s land policy and its genocide case against Israel at the ICJ

The US criticized South Africa’s ICJ case, where it accuses Israel of genocide regarding its actions in Gaza, which Israel defends as self-defense following the October 7th Hamas attack. The White House presented this case as evidence of South Africa’s opposition to the US.

Trump also alleged, without providing evidence, that South Africa is confiscating land and mistreating “certain classes of people,” echoing Elon Musk’s claims of “racist ownership laws” against white South Africans. However, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa defended his government’s land policy as a means to address racial disparities, denying any land confiscations, and stating South Africa “will not be bullied.”

In 2023, South Africa received almost $440 million in US aid. In conjunction with the aid cut, the White House announced plans to prioritize white South African farmers and their families for resettlement as refugees through the US Refugee Admissions Program.

Earlier, in response to potential US sanctions and funding cuts, South Africa’s Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe declared the nation could suspend raw material exports to the United States.

⭕ “At the Edge of the Abyss” is a powerful documentary, honest and profoundly sad. It is powerful because it is authentic, free of censorship, sugar-coating or touch-ups. It is honest because the film is just war footage, without feigned emotions and corny clichés. But it is also sad, because many of the people it shows were killed in action. One moment he is alive—a man smiling at the camera. And the next moment he is dead. And all of that is a chronicle of war. A recording of life and death.

Nothing grandiose about this war, nothing dramatic or over-the-top.

This is a brand new type of war documentary. They simply couldn’t do it like this before—it wasn’t technologically possible. And it was a different value system. But now they’ve done it. And what we have as a result is a chronicle of true heroism.

⭕🔻 Maria Dubovikova: The Hidden Poetry in a Russian “Hello”: The Story Behind Здравствуйте

When you greet someone in English with a simple “hello,” you’re merely saying hi. But when Russians say “здравствуйте” (zdravstvuyte), they’re participating in an ancient tradition that carries centuries of cultural wisdom and goodwill.

This seemingly complex word, which often trips up language learners with its consonant-heavy pronunciation, is actually a beautiful testament to how language can preserve cultural values across generations. At its heart, здравствуйте isn’t just a greeting – it’s a wish for good health and prosperity.

The word’s journey through time begins in the mists of Proto-Slavic history, emerging from “*sъdorvъ” and evolving through Old Church Slavonic “съдравъ” (sŭdravŭ). Its modern form developed from the verb “здравствовать” (zdravstvovat’), meaning “to be well” or “to prosper.” The root “здрав” (zdrav) connects directly to the Russian word for health – “здоровье” (zdorovye).

What makes this greeting particularly fascinating is its dual nature. While serving as a formal “hello,” it simultaneously functions as a subtle blessing. Every time Russians use this greeting, whether they’re conscious of it or not, they’re essentially saying, “May you be healthy” or “May you prosper.”

The formality embedded in the “-те” ending adds another layer of cultural significance. This suffix transforms the greeting into a mark of respect, used when addressing elders, strangers, or multiple people. It’s a linguistic gesture that instantly establishes social boundaries and mutual respect.

In today’s fast-paced world, while many Russian speakers might not actively consider the deep meaning behind this ancient greeting, здравствуйте continues to carry its weight in gold as a testament to Russian cultural values. It reminds us that sometimes, the most common words we use can harbor the deepest expressions of human kindness and social harmony.

Next time you hear this melodious Russian greeting, remember: you’re not just hearing a “hello” – you’re witnessing a small piece of living history, carrying forward an age-old tradition of wishing wellness to fellow human beings.
🔻 WS: As always, Maria, a very interesting essay.

Tehran has the military capability to shut down one of the world’s bussiest oil transit routes, said IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri.

However, Tangsiri clarified that Iran’s missiles, drones, and naval power make such a move unnecessary for now.

He also dismissed US threats to cut Iran’s oil exports to zero, stating that the country has already retaliated against hostile actions, including seizing US-linked oil tankers in response to Iranian vessel seizures.

The commander emphasized that Iran remains committed to regional security and the safe export of oil and gas, but warned that any escalation from the US would be met with a firm response.
⭕ 🇺🇸🇿🇦 Ramaphosa’s stance against being bullied by any nation, regardless of power, marks a significant turning point in US-South Africa relations, an international analyst says

The US needs to understand that there are no human rights violations or land grabs in South Africa, Elias Phaahla, professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Johannesburg, told Sputnik Africa.

According to Phaahla, the US under President Donald Trump is undermining both the international system and national sovereignty, exemplified by the US handling of the Gaza Strip issue, where it acts as if it can simply seize territory from the Palestinians.

The reason for Washington’s pressure on South Africa is not only the “misinformation” surrounding the land issue in the African country, but also South Africa’s relations with BRICS, the professor noted. The growing alignment of Global South countries, including South Africa, with China and Russia signals a shift toward a multipolar world and raises concerns for the US, he added.

He stressed that Africa needs to realize no right to expect aid from America, as Africans are neither US citizens nor taxpayers. In this context, South-South cooperation is crucial, encompassing not just market access but also mutual humanitarian assistance, he noted. Africa needs to develop its own solutions to adapt to threats of aid withdrawal, Phaahla concluded.

⭕ 🇷🇺 Russia outlines the conditions for concluding a peace treaty with Ukraine

For Russia, it is important that any potential peace agreements with Kiev are signed by the legitimate leaders of Ukraine, Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told Sputnik.

He recalled that Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidential term had ended, noting that no elections have been held since then.

Furthermore, there is still the issue of the decree banning negotiations with Moscow, which was signed by Zelensky in October 2022. This could “complicate the negotiation process and the recording of its results,” the diplomat noted.

Russia has always stressed its readiness to engage in dialogue “with all those interested in finding a long-term sustainable peace on mutually acceptable terms,” ​​Nebenzia stressed.

However, he also pointed out that the question of who will sign potential peace agreements and how they will be legally formalized still needs to be resolved.

A hero of independence and the founding father of the country, he passed away on Saturday after spending three weeks in hospital. He was battling an illness from which he could not recover, President Nangolo Mbumba said in a statement.

Some highlights of his life:

• Born on May 12, 1929, into a farming family, Sam Nujoma was the eldest of ten children;
• Having become a railway sweeper near the capital Windhoek, he attended evening classes, where he met independence activists;
• He was the head of SWAPO, a liberation movement that he co-founded in 1960; he launched an armed struggle in 1966;
• Nujoma achieved Namibia’s independence from South Africa in 1990, which had taken over control of the territory from Germany following the First World War; he governed the country until the end of his third term in 2005;
• Nujoma called Germany’s 2021 offer of compensation of more than €1 billion for the massacre of tens of thousands of indigenous Herero and Nama people, considered the first genocide of the 20th century, insufficient.

⭕ Why the U.S. is Moving to Sanction South Africa: A Comprehensive Analysis

1. South Africa’s Close Ties to Russia and BRICS
2. South Africa’s Increasingly Anti-Israel Stance
3. Economic and Diplomatic Ties with Iran
4. South Africa’s Support for China and the Taiwan Controversy
5. U.S. Legislative Response

Conclusion: Why the U.S. is Moving Towards Sanctions

South Africa’s shift in foreign policy—toward Russia, China, Iran, and anti-Israel diplomacy—has put it on a collision course with the United States. While historically animportant African ally, South Africa’s stance on multiple global conflicts and economic policies has led the U.S. to reassess its support. Sanctions and a reduction intrade privileges under AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) are now likely outcomes if South Africa continues on this trajectory.
