“A sane country [what country?] does not wage war against civilians, does not kill infants for fun, and does not make population expulsion its goal. These actions are truly shocking, and we cannot accept that we — members of the J3wish nation who have throughout history suffered persecution, abuse, and genocide, and who are supposed to be a standard of human and Jewish morality — are now doing things that are truly unacceptable.”
⭕ 🇮🇷| Leader of Iran, Imam Khamenei:

Raisi’s first interview as president, a reporter asked him whether he would negotiate with the US. He responded clearly, “No,” without any ambiguity.

He did not allow the enemy to claim that through threats, bribes, or deception, they had managed to bring Iran to the negotiating table. He didn’t let that happen.

The insistence on direct negotiations by the other parties is largely because of this stance. He did not permit it. Of course, indirect negotiations did take place during his time as well, just like they are now — though without results.

We don’t expect these talks to lead anywhere. We can’t say for sure what will happen (He clearly asserts dominance and says that Iran is not under pressure to conclude talks, and we don’t trust the talks)

This claim that “we do not allow Iran to enrich uranium” — that’s utter nonsense. No one here is waiting for anyone’s permission. The Islamic Republic has its own policies, its own path, and it follows them.

At another time, I will explain to the Iranian people the real reason why they insist so much on stopping enrichment in Ira —why the Western & American teams are so focused on preventing it. God willing, I’ll clarify this in a future gathering, so that the Iranian nation understands their true intention.

Resistance is what has shaken the Zionist regime after 70 years. This regime, for nearly 2 years, has had no security—where its people must rush to shelters every day, its ports shut down, its airports out of service.

That tremor in their core—resistance caused it. It’s a powerful force that is shaping the region’s future.

⭕Answer to the pirates of the Baltic Sea:

On May 18, Russia detained the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Green Admire, which had left the Estonian port of Sillamae on an agreed route in the direction of Rotterdam, ERR reported, citing the Estonian Transport Department.

The tanker with shale oil on board was sailing through Russian territorial waters. “This navigation route was chosen to ensure the safety of navigation and does not strictly follow state borders,” notes Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. “It was established by mutual agreement between Russia, Estonia and Finland.”

The Russian side has not yet commented on the incident.
❗️According to international maritime law, a state has the right to inspect, detain or control ships passing through its territorial waters.

Estonia has previously detained at least twice vessels that it linked to the so-called “shadow fleet of Russia” used to circumvent international sanctions. In April, the tanker Kiwala, flying the flag of Djibouti, was detained in Estonian territorial waters, and on May 14, the Estonian Navy attempted to stop the tanker Jaguar in international waters. It was suspected of violating sanctions. Estonian troops tried to force the vessel to leave international waters and head for the republic’s territorial waters, where they could detain it. They threatened to ram the vessel and twice attempted to land troops from a helicopter. The crew refused to stop, and Russia sent a Su-35 fighter jet to escort the vessel.
⭕ 🏴‍☠️ 🇩🇰 🇺🇸 Piracy in the Baltic. Denmark to deploy American unmanned boats in the Baltic Sea

American company Saildrone plans to deploy four 10-metre Voyager unmanned boats in Danish waters next month to “ conduct maritime surveillance missions in the Baltic Sea ”. But is it really that peaceful?

In the spring of 2025, Saildrone also opened a subsidiary in🇩🇰 Copenhagen , planning to expand its presence (and the presence🇺🇸 US intelligence ) in the region. The deployment will be carried out in close cooperation with the Royal Danish Navy, and the UAVs are equipped with a suite of intelligence- gathering sensors and an AI-powered data processing system. Last month, the Danish government approved a series of plans to expand the navy, including a program to evaluate autonomous platforms for surface and underwater surveillance.

• Voyager is a rather unique drone.
• Displacement: 2.5 tons
• Length: 10 meters
• Height: 4.5 meters including the wing-sail
• Material: carbon fiber
• Solar panels: 400W to power electronics
• Backup motor: 4 kW electric motor
• Autonomy: up to 12 months in the open sea Payload: Up to 390 kg of scientific and military equipment:
• Sail wing area of ​​16 m²
• Multi-beam sonar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), infrared and optical cameras with AI analytics
• Iridium and Starlink satellite communications
• Automatic Identification System (AIS)

With its good characteristics, the drone is actively used by the US Navy. Since 2023, Voyager boats have been patrolling the Persian Gulf, monitoring the activity🇮🇷 Iran. They are also used as a mobile weather station and a communications relay for US Navy ships . As part of the Unmanned Campaign Framework program, drones have created 3D maps of Guam waters to prepare for underwater operations , and Voyager passive acoustic sensors record submarine noise at depth.

Voyager can withstand waves up to 10 meters high and winds of 70 knots (130 km/h), autonomously navigate complex routes, and due to the absence of engine noise, the drone is difficult to detect by sonars.

✨ Everything points to the fact that Saildrone’s plans are not just ” monitoring a busy shipping route ,” but military reconnaissance, scanning underwater communication and supply routes, and preparing a seabed map for maritime operations in the interests of the navy. 🚩 NATO.

European politicians are not trying to hide their intentions to increase tensions in the Baltic Sea:

“Russia has 500 ships of the “shadow fleet”, 60% of which pass through the Baltic Sea. If we control the shadow fleet, we will have enormous influence,” the defense minister noted.🇪🇪 Estonia Anno Pevkur.

“The EU does not yet have sufficient resources, ships and aircraft to launch a mission to intercept tankers carrying Russian oil, so such a mission is not currently under discussion,” the head of the Military Committee said.🇪🇺 European Union Robert Briger following the meeting of the EU Chiefs of Staff. “We have not yet received a political task to launch such a mission,” he said. “But if such a task is set, then we need to have the necessary resources.”

At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff of the Estonian Defence Forces, Vahur Karus, noted that recently there was the first case when, during an attempt to detain the Jaguar tanker, which was en route to Russia from India, the Russian military demonstrated its readiness to protect the “shadow fleet” by sending aircraft to cover the vessel.

As Lascaris says eloquently above, one cannot trust such bad faith actor hellbent on the Murder-Suicide. Every stratagem and lie has to be understood as the means toward that end]

⭕ ‼️ Istanbul Surrender Negotiations Update

Russian delegation demanded Ukrainian forces withdraw from the four new Russian oblasts. Ukrainians refused. Russians rose and left, saying “Next time it will be five.”

This is what “dictating terms” looks like.
📜 Dictating Terms
[it must be said, like Yemenis thank God they have idiots for enemies, so must Russkies. They can count on the Limey-driven UkroNazi to keep refusing whilst ANY lifeblood remains, thereby reclaiming all choice parts of Novorossiya. And they’ll get it, even as UkroNazis and the entire demented fragmented lot see the trap unfolding. The beauty of inescapable Exceptionalism being used against them]

[yes indeed. Their Last Charge of all]
⭕🔻 Margarita Simonyan: Story has been making rounds that Ukrainians were outraged when Russia negotiators said that Ukrainian soldiers must leave the four new Russian regions as part of ceasefire, to which the Moscow delegation replied “Next time it will be five.”

Now, our reporter in Istanbul got to ask the Russian side how it really went down:

“We didn’t say five. We said eight.”

🔻 General Toad: Kharkiv and Sumy are looking more likely to be necessary for the Russians. Dnipro is possible, but I’ll believe Odessa and Mykolaiv when they have a single soldier in either oblast
🔻 WS: As I have argued for 3+ years now: Odessa will be reassimilated into Mother Russia effectively without a fight. Odessa is Russia. Odessa is Russian.
🔻 General Toad: How? Ceded by treaty? Amphibious assault? River crossing at Kherson and march past Nikolaev?

🔻 Johanna deMartin: I love the fact that Crimea isn’t even on the table anymore, that’s done and dusted.
🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The only open question I have had for quite some time now is just how far west will Russia go, because they don’t want to occupy areas that are not fundamentally Russian but they have stated they will not see hostile NATO weaponry camped on any part of Ukraine.
⭕‼️ There is much doubt circulating in respect to the alleged Russian threat to demand A LOT MORE than just four oblasts.

I would remind everyone that Putin, from the very beginning, has demanded NATO remove missiles from Poland and Romania, and return to its 1997 borders. 🤔
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: In my estimation, the Russian objectives of the Special Military Operation — which has recently begun evolving into a serious war — against NATO in Novorossiya/Ukraine (including rolling back NATO forces to their 1997 limits) are on a realistically sustainable trajectory to be achieved effectively and efficiently. All necessary logistics, execution plans, capabilities, and contingencies are in place.

The critical question is how much Western and NATO governments are willing to sacrifice in pursuit of a second Cold War against Russia. Are they prepared to risk NATO, the EU, or the prominence of Western currencies (USD, Euro, and GBP), along with the greatly inflated perception of their military capabilities? Do Western nations and their publics yearn for economic depression or hyperinflation?

The U.S. government debt has now surpassed $36.85 trillion and is on track to reach $40 trillion before 2027 (usdebtclock.org/index.html#).

Continuing to borrow money from the rest of the world to fund wars and facilitate wealth transfers from the global working and middle classes to enrich modern Western and American oligarchs is an unsustainable strategy that is likely to culminate in an economic catastrophe. No amount of pledges for “investment in the U.S. economy” by oil monarchies or others can alter this trajectory. This is simply the underlying physics of economics, and NO ONE can defy physics.

The Trump administration seeks to achieve Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and an international devaluation of the Federal Reserve currency (U.S. Dollar):

Firstly, rate cuts without inflation control, job market stability, and economic robustness would significantly harm the bond market and erode confidence in the value and security of U.S. Treasury Bonds. Serious economists and investors understand these facts.

Secondly, efforts to devalue the U.S. Dollar would result in the devaluation of U.S. Treasury Bonds held by Americans as well as foreign individuals and governments. If achieved (which is currently highly unlikely), a devaluation of the U.S. Dollar (and the consequent U.S. Treasury Bond devaluation) would effectively constitute monetary theft by the U.S. government. |link|
🔻 Ikkyu Sojun: The West’s war hawks are delusional, still fantasizing Putin’s the pliable suit they schmoozed pre-2022 and Russia’s the broken 1990s wreck they looted.

They need to Wake up!

Clinging to outdated illusions, these idiots underestimate a Russia that’s rebuilt, armed, and done with Western games.

Their arrogance will cost them dearly.
🔻 Martin L. Zinn: It’s very simple.

Putin made it clear, if NATO is not aimed at defeating Russia then let Russia join, that idea was rejected a long time ago and all NATO has done since has encroach onto Russia’s borders. After all the blood has been spilled, Russia can’t let this continue

⭕🔻 Kirill A. Dmitriev:
Good Results from Russia-Ukraine first dialogue in 3 yrs:
1. Largest POW exchange
2. Ceasefire options that may work
3. Understanding of positions and continued dialogue
This would not be possible without @POTUS,@JDVance, @SteveWitkoff, @SecRubio, other Trump team members.🕊️🇷🇺🇺🇸
🔻 The Sirius Report: This is largely meaningless and frankly the kind of cheerleading you expect from the Americans.

POWs, whilst welcome, are a way to take the heat off the fact points 2 and 3 mean nothing.

When Russia and Ukraine start to agree on specific points to end the war, in totality, then we will have actual progress. Currently we are a long way from that happening.
🔻 WS: I believe Dmitriev is playing a purposefully calculated role. The things he says are intended to beguile the fools in Washington and London with dreams of reprising the 1990s era of plunder and pillage.

Meanwhile, Russian military and strategic objectives continue unabated.
🔻 The Sirius Report: Possible, but with US administrations they take everything literally and will see such statements as weakness. Whilst that doesn’t change the outcome of the war or ultimately the negotiations it is unwise to do so as it can cause unnecessary complications along the way. The less complications any nation has with Washington, the better
🔻 Cato The Censor: Different things are said publicly and privately as you know. Taking public statements as weakness while being defeated on the battlefield is the definition of a bi-polar syndrome. 🧐
🔻 The Sirius Report: The American psyche defies belief and understanding. But it is what it is.
🔻 — GEROMAN — time will tell – 👀 –: It was a diplomatic way to say:
Talks are OK – we will continue.
Mostly to counter the Western narrative.
🔻 Out of the ornery Mark: When your opponent (US, UK, EU) is bleeding out, why would you not want to preserve the status quo? The West has to grasp realities and surrender. Until it is ready to do that it suits Russia to just keep grinding away. The war of attrition is in the negotiations too.
🔻 Ken Lovegrove: People like @RealPepeEscobar talking about a big trap being laid against Russia in these negotiations. Any thoughts?
[what? where did he say that? his latest article literally had in the title KABUKI. Some people…]
🔻 WS: I think it’s nonsense. I like Pepe, but I have, over the years, disagreed with him on many things. This is a typical example.
🔻 Ken Lovegrove: Hard to believe Russians would be duped for a third time. If Russians are going to make a move and finish this you would think this coming Summer would be it?
🔻 WS: As Putin said on February 24, 2022, and as he has repeated ceaselessly since then, their objective is to DEMILITARIZE and DENAZIFY Ukraine. I expect them to be relentless in realizing those objectives — the byproduct of which will be the destruction of NATO.
🔻 Ken Lovegrove: I’m not having a crack at Pepe as I love his work. But this story always fascinated me. Again interested to hear your take. |link|

🔻 Johanna deMartin: Quasi-holy, I’m going to borrow that. That intuitively covers exactly how I look at them too. Reverence without worship.

🔻 O Gato Bonito: Crows, closely related to ravens, are similarly intelligent. A few evenings ago, a number of crows were clearly agitated and making an incredible amount of noise. Moments later, I noticed a bobcat, and the crows were closely following it, alerting others to the danger.

🔻 Brian Berletic: US Feigns “Distancing” From Israel Before Major Israeli Strikes on Yemen

• The US regularly feigns to distance itself from Israel ahead of Israeli strikes on US adversaries the US does not want culpability for continued hostilities against;
• This is a long-stated ploy described in US policy including the 2009 Brookings “Which Path to Persia?” paper which had a whole chapter on using Israel to carry out US aggression while absolving the US of responsibility;
• It should be remembered that Israeli aggression is only possible with constant and full US support and that ALL attempts by the US to pose as “distancing” itself from Israel are propaganda;

People​ need to stop reacting to political stunts and read the actual policy papers the US uses to implement policy… |sources|
🔻 Brian Berletic: The US has played the same game using Ukraine as a proxy, feigning “difficulty” with Kiev as an excuse/cover for continued proxy war against Russia all while appearing to pursue “diplomacy” or playing the role of “mediator.”
🔻 ThatGirlCasey☄️: However it couldn’t be done without the US. It’s disgusting to see people actually believe that Trump is decoupling from israel. There’s no such thing happening. Thank you for sharing this.

⭕⁉️ I note again that the Israelis haven’t ventured anywhere near Iran since October 26, 2024.

If (as many claimed) Iran’s air defenses were all but annihilated, why hasn’t the IAF made any follow-up visits?
repost his older from 30.10.2024, “#TheImaginaryWar has become the most popular daydream cope in Israel in recent days.

Of course, the claim that the IAF “destroyed Iran’s long-range air defenses” is easy to prove: launch deep-penetrating airstrikes into Iran and let’s see how it goes.”
🔻 MrMojoRising: The Iranian loitering air defence missiles are a fantastic idea & a great piece of kit imho. They only need to deploy them in the general area of an incoming attack. Makes SEAD infinitely more complicated. I mean, the Yemenis were able to bring down a couple of dozen drones & “nearly” bring down F35’s etc with a much less sophisticated version than Iran possesses (probably).

⭕ 🇩🇪🇵🇭 Germany and the Philippines sign a defense agreement

Germany and the Philippines have agreed to strengthen defense ties and boost joint activities as Manila builds a series of alliances to strengthen its position in a long-running conflict with China in the disputed South China Sea .

Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and his German counterpart , Boris Pistorius, signed an “agreement on defense cooperation” in Berlin on Wednesday, agreeing to expand cooperation to include cybersecurity, defense armaments and logistics.

The defense cooperation agreement between the Philippines and Berlin adds to a growing list of defense agreements beyond its traditional ally, the United States.
[sad for the Filipinos, such a nice people. Their elites are certifiably insane]

The sale of Chernomorsk port in the Odessa region to the Limeys was a fatal exposure of the deranged exceptionalist Limey mindset.

• The “agreement-incapable” actually expect others to respect international law, even as they openly trash it, sabotaging peace efforts in the same country! And for the second time in Istanbul in three years
• The Losers of the big existential war actually expect to dictate the post-war dispensation and allocation of spoils to the Victors!
• Those who can neither protect their vassal nor themselves actually expect to be safeguarded through the sole honor of their enemy, as they didn’t openly declare war, and so should be permitted to continue shipping war materiel into the theatre to kill forces of the same said enemy!

How to begin parsing the lunacy on display? The messianic madmen really are touched, and do consider themselves Chosen, and beyond the norms incumbent on all Others

One thing is for sure, even in the absence of the use of Poseidon or Sarmat or Hazelnuts, when all is done and dusted, the Russkie will settle with the Limey and ensure the raving lose all pretensions and crawl for the next millennium, relegated to objects and flotsam of History, as dealt to the Swedes, Poles, Germans, and other defeated Balts in prior centuries

BTW, this entire Drang is about Crimea and protecting the raising of the Moshiach in the Holy Land. To the last USUK
