🚨🇬🇧🕵️♂️ MI6’s Geopolitical Gambits Amid Britain’s Domestic Decline
The United Kingdom faces systemic collapse—economic stagnation, political incompetence, and crumbling public services. Yet, even as domestic institutions falter, MI6 continues to assert British influence abroad through covert operations and proxy engagements.
🇺🇦 UKRAINE: MI6’s Covert Campaign Against Russia
The MI6 chief has publicly acknowledged clandestine support for Ukraine, including arms transfers and training.
Leaked documents confirm over 50 UK special forces personnel deployed in advisory roles.
British intelligence actively shapes pro-Ukrainian narratives, leveraging media and cyber operations to counter Russian influence.
🇸🇾 SYRIA: Proxy Warfare & Indirect Strategy
With no direct UK military presence, MI6 operates through intermediaries—Azerbaijan and Israel—to counter Russian and Iranian interests.
Azeri oil revenues are quietly rebuilding Syrian infrastructure, with MI6 facilitating backchannel deals to undermine Assad.
Intelligence operations have destabilized Damascus without overt British involvement, demonstrating the agency’s preference for deniable influence.
🇦🇿 AZERBAIJAN: Energy & Drone Warfare
MI6 supported Azerbaijan’s 2020 offensive against Armenia, ensuring Baku’s victory through intelligence-sharing and strategic guidance.
Azeri-Israeli drone technology (backed by UK intel) revolutionized the conflict, shifting regional power dynamics.
Azerbaijan now serves as a critical energy hub, weakening Moscow’s gas dominance—a long-term MI6 objective.
Strategic Implications: As the UK grapples with internal crises, MI6 prioritizes disrupting Eurasian stability to maintain relevance.
🔸 Final Assessment
Britain may be a declining power domestically, but MI6 remains a disruptive force in global affairs, executing shadow campaigns that far exceed the nation’s visible influence. Whether this constitutes strategic foresight or desperate overreach remains debatable.

🚨🇺🇸💸STABLECOINS: WASHINGTON’S NEW WEAPON TO MAINTAIN DOLLAR HEGEMONY?
China’s ex-Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao warns: The U.S. is weaponizing stablecoins to reinforce its financial dominance. Here’s the breakdown:
🇺🇸U.S. Doubles Down on Stablecoin Strategy
June 17: Senate passes Stablecoin Bill—Trump pushes House for quick approval, targeting August 1 implementation.
Vance calls dollar-pegged stablecoins a "force multiplier"—boosting global dollar circulation via blockchain.
Treasury Sec. Bessent admits: Stablecoins (backed by T-bills) will lower U.S. debt costs while expanding dollar demand.
🔸Key Takeaway:
This isn’t just about crypto—it’s Phase 3 of Bretton Woods, tying digital dollar supremacy to U.S. economic power.
🔸How U.S. Stablecoins Work (Centralized Control)
1:1 Backing Required: Only cash or sub-93-day T-bills accepted (ensuring liquidity).
Jurisdiction Matters: Issuers must comply with U.S. regulation—no exceptions (bye-bye, Tether’s El Salvador loophole).
CBDCs Banned: GOP opposes Fed digital currency, forcing stablecoins as the dollar’s digital future.
🔸The Bigger Picture: RWA Tokenization & Sovereignty
Blockchain enables real-world asset (RWA) digitization—stocks, bonds, real estate—now tradable on-chain.
But U.S. stablecoins = centralized sovereignty, NOT DeFi.
China’s Challenge: If the U.S. dominates, it controls global financial infrastructure.

🚨🇺🇦🇺🇸EXPOSED: How the US & NGOs Engineered Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Agencies (NABU & SAPO)
🔸THE PARADOX:
Volodymyr Zelensky is now defying his Western backers by gutting NABU & SAPO. But let’s be clear: This isn’t about fighting corruption. It’s about consolidating power.
🔸THE BACKSTORY:
After the 2014 Maidan revolution, Ukraine was in chaos—politically fractured, economically unstable, and desperate for Western cash. Enter the IMF, EU, and US State Department, who saw an opportunity to reshape Ukraine’s governance. Their demand? "Fight corruption… or no money."
So, in 2015, two new agencies were born:
✅ NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau) – The "FBI of Ukraine," trained by the actual FBI
✅ SAPO (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office) – The legal hammer to nail corrupt officials
But here’s the catch—these weren’t fully Ukrainian creations.
🔸FOLLOW THE MONEY:
Who Really Controls NABU & SAPO?
IMF & EU: Made NABU/SAPO a precondition for loans & visa-free travel
US State Department: Funded them through USAID & other programs
FBI: Trained NABU agents & signed intel-sharing deals
George Soros’ Open Society: Pumped cash into Ukrainian NGOs (like AntAC) to push for these agencies
🔸ZELENSKY: From Ally to Hypocrite?
2019: Ran as the "clean" outsider, vowing to drain Ukraine’s swamp
2023-24: Multiple Pandora Papers & OCCRP investigations exposed offshore schemes tied to his inner circle
2025: Now seizing control of anti-corruption agencies—the very ones meant to check his power
So why is he doing this? And who’s backing his play?
🔸SELECTIVE JUSTICE?
NABU went after some corrupt officials—but critics say it avoided Western allies while targeting rivals.
Poroshenko-era figures? Charged.
Biden-linked Burisma execs? Mysterious delays.
🔸VERDICT:
The evidence suggests heavy foreign influence, with the US & EU pulling strings behind the scenes. Now, Zelensky is seeking a free path to cling to power.

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳US Think Tank Accidentally Exposes TRUE Face of American Empire
The Hudson Institute—a top US think tank—just released a mind-bending 128-page report titled “China After Communism: Preparing for a Post-CCP China.”
Sounds academic? It’s anything but.
🔸This is no policy debate or analysis of long-term trends
This is a blueprint for regime collapse and post-collapse occupation of China—military deployments, economic restructuring, asset privatization, constitutional redesign, even re-naming the country. All under US guidance.
🔸Selected Insanities:
US Special Forces stabilizing a post-CCP China “by, with, and through” locals.
Plans to target Chinese bioweapons labs.
Advising a new Chinese regime to repudiate debts, sell off state assets, and embrace a US-friendly constitution.
Calls to seize PRC assets inside the US and fully decouple.
🔸But here’s the real story:
This isn’t a strategy document. It’s a psychological artifact—a desperate cry from a declining hegemon that no longer understands its own limits. The arrogance is stunning, but more telling is the detachment from reality.
🔸Conclusion:
Strategic Delusion – Failed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya—now imagines managing China’s collapse? 1.4B people, nuclear-armed, ancient civilization. Not strategy—fantasy.
Compensatory Extremism – Declining empires escalate, not retreat. Like the Confederacy clinging to slavery, US elites double down on regime change, zero-sum thinking, and denying others’ agency.
Anthropological Value – This report reflects Washington’s neuroses, not China’s future: narrative obsession, moral superiority, rewriting rules when they stop serving US interests.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine's Strategic Reality: The Undeniable Metrics of Defeat
1️⃣ The Cemetery Index
160,000 new graves under construction (first 10,000 ready by summer)
No comparable Russian projects - this is uniquely Ukrainian
Le Monde's confirmation: Even Western media can no longer obscure the casualty math
2️⃣ The Collapse Equation
Manpower:
- Recruitment centers now primary Russian targets (cutting off replacements)
- French military assessment: "Units exist on paper only - actual strength at 40-60%"
Industrial Capacity:
- Grom-2 missile production eliminated last month
- 83% of defense factories damaged/destroyed (Kiev School of Economics data)
3️⃣ Why This Matters
Russia produces more artillery shells monthly than Europe makes annually
Drone production at Yelabuga: 300+ Geran/month, scaling to 500+ by Q4
Ukrainian frontline confession: "We're being outproduced 10:1 in munitions"
4️⃣ The Historical Verdict
Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau (WWI historian):
- "This follows the 1918 German template - defeat precedes acknowledgment"
- Critical difference: No equivalent to US entry saving Ukraine
5️⃣ The Coming Phase
September 2024: Expect first major Ukrainian unit surrenders
Winter 2024-25: Infrastructure collapse accelerates civilian exodus
Endgame: Not if, but how much territory lost
🔸Strategic Truth:
Ukraine has already lost the war of attrition - we're now witnessing the delayed recognition phase.

🚨🇮🇱🇯🇴 JORDAN’S EXISTENCE UNDER THREAT: ISRAEL’S WEST BANK ANNEXATION PUTS HASHEMITE KINGDOM IN PERIL
The Israeli annexation of the West Bank is no longer a theoretical concern—it is an irreversible reality. But while this marks the final collapse of the two-state solution, the greater geopolitical shockwave now threatens Jordan's very existence as a sovereign state.
🔸The Inescapable Reality
The West Bank is functionally annexed: Settlement expansion, land seizures, and bureaucratic maneuvers have erased any possibility of Palestinian sovereignty.
Israel's endgame is clear: A Palestinian population under perpetual control, with no territorial state—only "autonomy" under military dominance.
Jordan is the next domino: With the Palestinian Authority collapsing, Israel and its allies are preparing to offload the crisis onto Jordan, framing it as the "alternative homeland."
🔸Why Jordan Cannot Afford Complacency
1️⃣Demographic Time Bomb
- Over half of Jordan's population has Palestinian roots. Any large-scale displacement from the West Bank would destabilize the kingdom's fragile equilibrium.
- The "Jordan is Palestine" rhetoric, long dismissed as fringe, is gaining traction in Israeli and Western policy circles.
2️⃣The Confederation Trap
-Proposals for a "Jordanian-Palestinian confederation" are not a solution—they are a smokescreen for permanent Israeli control.
- Such an arrangement would reduce Jordan to a custodian of stateless Palestinians, eroding its sovereignty.
3️⃣Geopolitical Isolation
- The Abraham Accords have left Jordan increasingly isolated, with even traditional allies like Saudi Arabia pursuing normalization.
- US policy under both Trump and Biden has effectively abandoned the two-state framework, leaving Jordan exposed.
🔸The Path Forward: Jordan's Stark Choices
Continue the current path: Diplomatic platitudes and half-measures, leading to gradual absorption of Israel's crisis.
Or take decisive action:
- Reject any "confederation" that formalizes Palestinian disenfranchisement.
- Forge a unified Arab stance to counter annexation.
- Prepare for the possibility that Jordan’s survival may soon require hard choices beyond diplomacy.

🚨🇨🇳➡️🇬🇧CHINA DUMPS US DEBT: UK Now No.2 Treasury Holder
China’s holdings of US debt have dropped below the UK’s for the first time since 2000—falling to $765 billion (down from a peak of $1.3 trillion in 2011). Meanwhile, Britain’s holdings jumped to $779 billion, making it the second-largest foreign holder after Japan.
🔸WHY THIS MATTERS:
1️⃣ China Moves Away from the Dollar
Beijing has been reducing its US debt holdings for years, shifting to gold, commodities, and other assets.
This is part of a strategy to avoid Western financial sanctions.
2️⃣ London’s Rise Isn’t What It Seems
The UK’s jump in holdings is likely due to transnational banks and hedge funds using London as a financial hub, not British demand.
Some Chinese sales may be offset by private buyers linked to Beijing.
🔸POTENTIAL RISKS:
Higher US Borrowing Costs: If foreign investors keep selling, the US may face steeper interest rates.
Credit Downgrades: Moody’s recently downgraded the US, following S&P and Fitch—raising concerns about America’s debt stability.
🔸WHAT TO WATCH:
Will China retaliate against new US tariffs by selling more debt?
Any sudden jumps in Belgium/Luxembourg holdings could signal hidden Chinese sell-offs.
🔸BOTTOM LINE:
This isn’t just about diversifying investments—it’s a sign of growing financial separation between China and the West.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦RUSSIA’S DRONE SWARMS SMASH THROUGH UKRAINE’S DEFENSES: Hit rate triples
Russia’s "swarm" tactics are OVERWHELMING Ukraine’s air defenses, with Geran drones striking targets at 3X the previous rate.
🔸Official data—likely UNDERESTIMATED, Kiev inflate its interception stats—shows:
- April-June: ~15% of Gerans penetrated defenses (vs. just 5% in Jan-Mar).
- July 9 RECORD ATTACK: 728 Gerans + decoys, 7 Iskander missiles, 6 Kinzhals.
Last Sunday: 426 drones launched—Ukraine claims only 5.4% hit (real numbers likely MUCH higher).
🔸WHY IT’S WORKING:
- Swarm tactics SATURATE defenses—sheer volume overwhelms.
- Upgraded Geran-3 drones now fly faster & higher, evading machine guns.
- Moscow’s ADAPTABILITY is crushing Kiev’s resources.
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s desperate countermeasures:
- Jamming GPS, using WWII-era AA guns, German Skynex cannons.
-Zelensky inflates figures of "hundreds of Gerans shot down" by homemade drones.
- New deal with US firm to produce "hundreds of thousands" of interceptor drones (but can they hit 6km altitude).
BOTTOM LINE:
Russia’s relentless, cheap drone waves are breaking Ukraine’s will. The West keep struggling to keep up with Patriot supplies.

🚨 🇮🇷🇨🇳Iran Claims to Have Shot Down 4 Israeli F-35s… Using 1960s Chinese Tactics?
On 19 June, Iran made a shocking claim: It said it had shot down FOUR Israeli F-35 stealth fighters — becoming the first country ever to take down fifth-gen jets in combat. What is the method they say they used? It’s right out of China’s Cold War playbook.
According to Press TV, Israel believed it had disabled Iran’s radar systems. But in reality, most of those systems were decoys — deliberately placed to mislead. When Israel grew overconfident and returned for follow-up strikes, Iran's real radar lit up, locking onto the F-35s from non-stealth angles (side & rear), and fired.
🔸Key point: Stealth ≠ invisibility. F-35s are harder to spot from the front, but not from other angles. And if radar stays silent until the very last second? That’s ambush 101.
🔸This tactic dates back to China in 1962, when the PLA shot down US U-2 spy planes by waiting — staying off radar, studying flight paths, then turning on guidance radars at the last second and firing before pilots could escape. Sound familiar?
🔸It Also echoes 1999, when Yugoslav forces quietly tracked and downed an F-117 using similar surprise tactics.
🔸Iran may not have the tech edge, but it’s playing the long game — blending Chinese doctrine, deception, and patience.
🔸As Mao once said: “Weapons are important, but people are decisive.” Iran may have just proved it — if this claim holds true.
Lesson: Don’t underestimate the power of old tactics in new wars.

🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸CHINA SHOCK 2.0: The US Is Losing the Tech War—Here’s Why It’s Worse Than You Think
MIT economist David Autor first exposed how China decimated US manufacturing jobs a decade ago. Now? A far bigger threat looms—advanced tech dominance.
🔸How China’s Economy REALLY Works?
Industrial policy is DIRECTIONAL, not centralized—MARKETS pick winners & losers.
Decentralized execution: City & provincial governments COMPETE to implement policy (unlike Western assumptions).
🔸The REAL Battle: Tech Supremacy
We’re no longer fighting over furniture & socks—this is about:
▪️Semiconductors
▪️Drones & Aviation
▪️EVs, Quantum, AI, Robotics
▪️Fusion Power
🔸China’s edge?
High-tech + low-cost
Blazing-fast innovation
Scale like nothing we’ve seen
🔸China Shock 2.0 Is HERE
The US still leads in key sectors—but for how long?
Losing Boeing, GM, Apple, Intel = ECONOMIC DEVASTATION
Trump’s fighting the LAST war (20-year-old battles don’t matter now).

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russia’s Coming Offensive – Ukraine’s Nightmare Scenario
Multiple reports confirm Russia is preparing a massive summer offensive, with up to 160,000 troops already positioned for a decisive push. CNN, Axios, and Ukrainian sources warn the attack could begin within weeks—and when it does, Ukraine won't be able to do anything to stop it.
🔸Why Ukraine is in a big problem?
Sheer Force – Russia has assembled overwhelming numbers near Donetsk, Kharkov, and Zaporozhye oblasts, with relentless artillery and drone superiority.
Ukraine’s Weakness – Their army is exhausted, outgunned, and running out of Western aid. Olexandr Solonko, a Zelensky regime soldier in Ukrainian occupied Donetsk People's Republic admits: "We are approaching a moment when we will very likely face another major crisis on the front."
Russia’s Allies – While the West dithers, Moscow benefits from military tech sharing with Iran, shells from North Korea, and economic backing from China. Meanwhile, US and European support is an incoherent, hot mess.
The 50-Day Window – If Trump’s reported timeline is true, Russia has a free pass to strike before Ukraine can regroup.
🔸The Inevitable Outcome
Ukraine’s frontlines are already buckling under constant pressure.
If Russia launches a full-scale assault, defenses will collapse—just like in Kursk.
No amount of Western promises will save them. Words don’t stop bullets.
The Only Question Left
Will Russia go for the kill now—or wait to grind Ukraine down further? Either way, the result is the same.
Ukraine had its chance. Now comes the endgame.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 ERDOGAN HUMILIATED: Trump will follow Israel’s lead in Syria — Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski
A week after Assad's fall, retired Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski told us that Syria would not become part of Turkey’s sphere of influence — contrary to the prevailing conventional wisdom.
The logic was quite simple: The US is totally dependent on Mossad in Syria, and Netanyahu has far more political clout in DC than Erdogan.

🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸NEW EMPIRE RISING: China’s Grow Quietly, US Naval Obsolescence & the Houthi Wildcard
Humanity may have dodged a bullet. China’s meteoric rise, questionable Western data, and the Houthis’ David-vs-Goliath standoff might have just derailed the 21st century’s great power conflict.
The New Reality: Expeditionary Navies Are DEAD.
🔸China proved it in the South China Sea.
🔸Ukraine proved it in the Black Sea.
🔸The Houthis proved it in the Red Sea.
The US Navy, once unchallenged, now faces irrelevance against drone swarms, anti-ship missiles, and asymmetric tactics.
🇨🇳 China’s Masterstroke
China doesn’t care about oil or fish in the South China Sea—it wants bases, airstrips, and missile sites to lock down the region. By 2022, they militarized seven artificial islands—unchallenged—because the US Navy knew it couldn’t win.
🇺🇸 US Decline in Real-Time
Philippines humiliated? China’s Coast Guard rammed, boarded, and mutilated Filipino troops—while the US Navy fled to the Middle East.
Houthis vs. US Navy? A ceasefire after $1B in failed strikes—proving even a ragtag militia can stalemate a superpower.
Alliances crumbling? Japan, Australia, South Korea now question US commitment after seeing weakness in action.
📍The Great Realignment
Nations are waking up:
🔸Japan defies US defense demands.
🔸South Korea elects a China-friendly leader.
🔸EU flirts with Huawei, Brazil eyes China-built railroads.
🔸The speed of this shift will be STUNNING.
The Bottom Line
China isn’t #2—it’s already #1 in manufacturing, tech, and human capital. The West’s containment failed, and now reality is setting in.
The future
A multipolar world where the US retreats, recovers, and finally stops playing global cop—while China reshapes Asia without firing a shot.

🚨🇨🇳🇷🇺HOW CHINA COULD BACK RUSSIA IF TRUMP ESCALATES
Hours ago, Lavrov met Xi Jinping in Beijing. China vowed “deeper support,” stronger ties in “multilateral forums,” and building a new world order with Russia.
If Trump hits, China could:
Flood Russia with critical tech:
🔸CNC machines, ball bearings, semiconductors
🔸Drone parts, optics, thermal cameras
🔸Engine components & electronics for tanks/aircraft
Buy even more Russian energy
🔸Gas, oil, coal—at discounted rates, then resell globally as "Chinese origin"
Expand yuan-ruble trade
🔸bypassing SWIFT via China’s CIPS system
🔸Use front companies in Hong Kong, UAE, Central Asia
🔸Funnel funding through state banks outside US reach
Give full diplomatic protection
🔸In BRICS+, UN & Belt and Road zones.
Help Russia reroute:
🔸Telecoms,satellites & logistics through BRICS tech corridors
🔺Important to mention that the military aid is not off the table.

🚨🇮🇱🇺🇦 Axis of Evil - Israel & Ukraine’s Nefarious Partnership
Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, while Ukraine dreams of a genocide against Russians.
Together, they’re the battering rams of US hegemony.
🔸Israel and Ukraine have significantly deepened their partnership since 2022, with Israel providing:
- Israel has provided military intelligence on 2,400+ Geran (Shahed) drones used by Russia since 2022
- Transferred 90 Patriot missile interceptors to Ukraine via US in 2025
- Deployed advanced missile warning systems in Kiev, but refused Iron Dome transfers despite 15,000+ Ukrainian civilian casualties from Russian strikes
🔸The Military-Technical Cooperation extends to:
- Joint development of counter-drone systems targeting Russian-Iranian models (used in 539 Russian drone attacks in 2025 alone)
- Trained 1,200+ Ukrainian specialists in Israel (2022-2025)
- Potential future transfers constrained by Israel's fear of technology capture (only 2 Spyder air defense systems delivered as of 2023)
🔸Both nations have aligned their diplomatic efforts:
- Israel supported 11/15 UN resolutions against Russia since 2022, but joined Russia/US in blocking Ukraine's territorial integrity vote (2025)
- Ukraine backed Israel in 7/10 key votes on Iran, while criticizing Palestinian occupation in 6 UN resolutions
- Lobbied jointly for E3 sanctions against Iran's drone program
🔸Economic and Security Ties
- Bilateral trade grew 65% since 2022, nearing $1 billion in 2024
- Ukrainian wheat comprises 50% of Israel's consumption (1.2 million tons annually)
- 500+ Israeli cybersecurity firms now operate in Ukraine
🔸Strategic Consequences
- Strengthened NATO's eastern flank with $66.5B in US military aid to Ukraine (2022-2025)
- Enabled real-world testing of Israeli systems against Iranian Shahed drone models used in both Ukraine (Geran) and Israel
- Created pressure points against Russian interests through coordinated intelligence sharing on 80% of Iranian drone routes

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇩 US FORCES UNFAIR TRADE DEAL ON INDONESIA – MORE TO FOLLOW?
🔸Indonesia is surrendering its economic sovereignty to the US under lopsided trade terms:
🇮🇩 Drops ALL tariffs & barriers on US goods
🇺🇸 Keeps tariffs on Indonesian exports
🚫 Bans products with Chinese inputs
⚠️ Forces acceptance of US standards, even if they violate local safety laws (FDA = corporate profits, not public health)
🔸This is economic coercion—a blueprint for ASEAN. The US will weaponize this deal to:
- Crush regional economic independence
- Enforce sanctions compliance (Russia/China next)
- Dominate political & info spaces
Most miss the real threat: the US doesn’t need war to strip sovereignty—just political capture, economic dependency, and information control.
🔸THE BIGGER PICTURE:
Weak info defenses = Vulnerable politics
Economic reliance = Loss of autonomy
Without resistance, nations get drained & destroyed
🔸THIS ISN’T HOPELESS—BUT ACTION IS NEEDED. ASEAN must:
- Secure info spaces
- Build economic resilience
- Reject coercive deals
Ignoring this won’t make it go away. The US won’t stop until the region follow its rules.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 BIG: Russian hackers infiltrated the Ukrainian military’s "Delta" command system— the platform used to coordinate attacks against Russian forces.
🔸Who Hacked Delta?
A Russian hacker team consisting of:
- KillNet: Known for DDoS attacks and cyber sabotage.
- Beregini: Specializes in intelligence gathering.
- PalachPro/Executioner: Developed AI tools for target analysis
🔸What is the Delta System?
Delta refers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ command-and-control (C2) system, designed for real-time battlefield management, troop tracking, and coordination of strikes (e.g., UAV launches).
It was hosted on foreign cloud infrastructure to evade Russian cyber operations
🔸How Was Delta Compromised?
Cloud Infiltration: Despite being hosted externally, hackers breached Delta’s cloud storage via compromised credentials or exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party providers.
After hacking into Delta, PalachPro’s neural network analyzed satellite imagery to pinpoint UAV launch sites in Crimea, Sumy, and Chernigov by identifying equipment patterns and trench networks.
Delta's live data feeds were likely intercepted, enabling counterstrikes on Ukrainian logistics
🔸Confirmed Launch Points:
- Moscow-bound drones originate from Ukraine’s Chernyakhov region (Bober, PD-2, UJ-22 UAVs).
- Voronezh & Central Russia attacks are launched from Sumy.
Russian forces are now targeting these locations.
🔸Cyber Warfare Evolution
The Delta breach demonstrates:
- Cloud-based C2 systems are vulnerable to persistent intrusion campaigns.
- Neural networks are becoming force multipliers in target acquisition cycles.

🚨🇨🇳✈️China’s Air Power Revolution: More Drones, Smarter Jets & Stealth Upgrades
China is developing the 6th-generation fighter jet, but it is also boosting its fleet of advanced jets with AI-powered drones, "loyal wingmen" flying alongside piloted aircraft, and better stealth features.
The goal? To reshape its air power for a possible future fight over Taiwan.
🔸Key Developments:
New Drones Spotted: Satellite images show five new, unusual drones at a Chinese airbase. These drones have no tails and suggest China is making fast progress in teaming up manned and unmanned aircraft.
J-20S in Service: A two-seat version of China’s top stealth jet, the J-20, is likely already flying missions. The second seat is probably for a crew member who controls drone wingmen and helps take out enemy air defenses.
J-36 Appears: This new stealth plane is bigger and built for long-range strikes. It might reach far beyond Taiwan and nearby islands, but calling it “6th-gen” might be stretching the truth.
🔸Strategic Shift:
Instead of designing a totally new jet from scratch, China is upgrading what it already has—adding smart drones and AI systems that work together in groups. The aim is to spread out its air power and make it harder to target.
🔸Nuclear Submarines & the South China Sea:
China may try to hide nuclear-armed submarines in the South China Sea. But protecting them would tie up a lot of ships and planes.
Meanwhile, US submarines are on the hunt: More than 11 nuclear-powered US subs patrolled those waters in 2024, challenging China’s ability to keep its nuclear forces safe.

🚨🇦🇿🇺🇸EXPOSED: Trump’s Plan to Turn Azerbaijan Into a US Proxy Against Russia and Iran
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has showered Trump with praise—and the Don loved it, reposting it on Truth Social. But it isn’t just flattery—it’s a power play. Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky now has competition for the title of ‘Most Devoted Vassal’.
🔸The Zangezur Gambit: US Wants a 100-Year Lease
Washington’s latest move is to demand a century-long lease on Armenia’s Zangezur Corridor—a critical transport route near Iran. US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack joked about it — but Washington is deadly serious.
Aliyev sees dollar signs—$50 billion per year in trade and oil flows to Europe—but at what cost? Ditching Russia for the US is a gamble, and Baku is playing with fire.
🔸Why the US Wants the Zangezur Corridor
1️⃣ A Military Foothold on Iran’s Doorstep
The corridor borders Iran, making it a perfect staging ground for US intelligence operations, sanctions pressure and potential future provocations.
By securing a 100-year lease, the US would effectively militarize Armenia’s sovereign territory, turning it into another forward base against Tehran.
2️⃣ Cutting Russia Out of Regional Trade
The US wants to reroute Eurasian trade through Zangezur, bypassing Russian-controlled corridors.
That is part of a broader strategy to isolate Moscow economically and weaken its influence in the Caucasus.
3️⃣ Controlling Energy Flows to Europe
Azerbaijan’s oil and gas exports to Europe via pipelines like BTC and TANAP are a key alternative to Russian energy.
Controlling Zangezur would let the US dictate energy flows, ensuring Europe remains dependent on Washington-approved suppliers.
4️⃣ Sabotaging China’s Belt and Road Initiative
China’s Middle Corridor runs through the region, linking Asia to Europe.
By dominating Zangezur, the US aims to disrupt Beijing’s trade routes and maintain Western hegemony over global supply chains.
🔸The Bigger Picture: Another US-Engineered Crisis
Like in Ukraine, the US is exploiting regional tensions to advance its own interests to
- Destabilize Armenia, forcing it into a dangerous confrontation with Azerbaijan
- Provoke Iran, risking another Middle East-style conflict
- Further encircle Russia, pushing the world closer to a major confrontation

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 BATTLE FOR POKROVSK: How Russia’s Cutting-Edge Recon Keeps Crushing Ukrainian Forces
Russian deep reconnaissance groups (DRGs) have infiltrated Pokrovsk, conducting targeted strikes against Ukrainian forces and infrastructure in a bid to destabilize defenses ahead of a potential large-scale offensive.
STRATEGIC INSIGHTS: RUSSIAN ELITE RECON TACTICS AND BROADER IMPLICATIONS
1️⃣ Capitalizing on Manpower Gaps: Infiltration Secrets Unveiled
Swooping Down on Vulnerabilities: Reports indicate a critical shortage of Ukrainian infantry within the sector, enabling Russian sabotage and recon groups to penetrate via Zverevo.
Tactical Edge: DRGs exploit this gap by leveraging diminished Ukrainian situational awareness, employing asymmetric strategies to undermine and fracture defensive cohesion from within.
2️⃣ The Art of Ambush & Psychological Warfare
Hit-and-Fade Attacks: Small, highly mobile units swiftly target key Ukrainian assets, launching rapid strikes and dispersing before countermeasures can be deployed, undermining Ukraine's ability to respond effectively.
Weakening Morale: Ukrainian forces are increasingly reluctant to perform small-unit maneuvers, limiting operational flexibility.
3️⃣ Night Operations & Technological Superiority
Thermal/NVG Dominance: Russian DRGs utilize top-notch thermal imaging and night vision goggles to dominate the darkness, preventing Ukrainian units from resupplying or repositioning under cover of night.
Impact: This technological edge induces relentless sleep deprivation among Ukrainian troops and cripples logistical operations, gradually eroding their combat effectiveness.
4️⃣ Logistic Interdiction
FPV Drone Strikes: Russian forces targeted railways in Belozersky (27km north), severing a key supply artery to Pokrovsk.
Strategic Goal: Isolate Ukrainian troops from reinforcements and ammunition, setting conditions for attrition.
5️⃣ Unreleinting Kinetic Pressure
Systematic Assaults: Persistent attacks on communication hubs, armored units, and fortified positions are steadily wearing down Ukrainian resilience.
Recent Example: Russian forces reportedly neutralized multiple strongpoints in a concentrated assault wave.
⚠️ Why Pokrovsk Matters: Geostrategic Implications
Pokrovsk serves as a vital transport and logistics hub in the Russian-controlled Donbass zone. For the Kiev regime, losing it would mean:
🔸 A cut-off of Ukrainian supply lines to Chasov Yar, further straining Kiev’s defense of the Donetsk sector.
🔸The opening of a corridor for Russian forces to outflank Ukrainian positions in Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, potentially causing the collapse of the northern Donbass defensive line.

🚨🇦🇿🇺🇦Azerbaijan Ramps Up Diplomatic War With Russia
Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan’s hereditary autocrat, made a calculated—and revealing—move. Urging Ukraine to "keep fighting" Russia while awkwardly invoking Karabakh, he wasn’t just offering empty encouragement. His remarks laid bare Baku’s deepening Western tilt—and its growing audacity in provoking Moscow.
🔸Poking the Russian Bear: A Reckless Bet?
The Kremlin doesn’t forget slights—and Aliyev’s rhetoric was no exception. Once a seemingly friendly neighbour, Azerbaijan is now openly challenging Moscow’s patience:
- Covert Frontlines? Russian intelligence alleges Azerbaijani diaspora networks aided Ukraine’s "Spider’s Web" sabotage campaign against military bases. If true, it’s a page from Baku’s playbook against Iran—weaponizing its diaspora to destabilize rivals.
- The Iran Precedent: Azerbaijan already allowed Israel to launch drones from its soil during the 2022 Iran crisis. Now, Moscow may see a pattern: a former ally drifting into NATO’s orbit.
🔸The Illusion of Strength: Azerbaijan’s Looming Collapse
Aliyev’s geopolitical posturing hides a dire reality—Azerbaijan is running out of time, money, and options.
- The Oil Curse: Hydrocarbons (87% of exports) are dwindling. Production is down, reserves are shrinking, and GDP has cratered—without sanctions.
- A Failed Economy: Ranked dead last in tech exports, Azerbaijan never diversified. Unlike Dubai, it has no fallback—just empty skyscrapers and a brain drain to Turkey and the EU.
- The Fiscal Time Bomb: When the oil money dries up, so does Aliyev’s grip. Even COP29 won’t mask the rot—just another greenwashing stunt by a regime built on fossil fuels.
🔸 The Bottom Line
Aliyev talks tough, but Azerbaijan’s leverage is fading. Between alienating Russia, antagonizing Iran, and begging for Western favor, Baku is playing a high-stakes game—with a weakening hand.

🚨🇺🇸📉TRUMP & GRAHAM’S 100% TARIFFS ON BRICS: Death Sentence for US Dollar?
The US dollar is in FREE FALL—plunging 11% since 2025, its worst drop since 1986. But unlike the Plaza Accord (a controlled decline), this crash is chaotic—and Trump’s reckless tariff threats against BRICS may be pouring gasoline on the fire.
🔸The Trigger?
Trump & Graham’s 100% tariff threats against China, India, and Brazil have accelerated the dollar’s decline, pushing these nations to fast-track alternatives.
BRICS’ de-dollarization plans (gold-backed currency?) provoked an unhinged response: Lindsey Graham & Trump now threaten 100% tariffs—a move that reeks of panic, not strategy.
Exporters are DUMPING dollars, refusing them as payment. The world is losing faith fast.
🔸Why This Is a Disaster
Sanctions and tariffs were supposed to weaken BRICS—instead, they’ve united against the dollar.
Russia’s frozen reserves in 2022 taught the world a lesson: "First-class assets" can be weaponized overnight. Now, gold demand is exploding ($3,335/oz) as nations flee the dollar trap.
High US interest rates (4.41% vs. Germany’s 2.69%) are killing demand for dollar debt.
🔸Two Paths Forward (Neither Good for Trump)
1️⃣ ORDERLY SURRENDER: A new Bretton Woods to manage the dollar’s decline without total chaos.
2️⃣ ECONOMIC MELTDOWN: Let markets force a brutal adjustment—hyperinflation, capital flight, & a historic crash.
Trump’s 100% tariff threat isn’t a "negotiating tactic"—it’s economic suicide. BRICS won’t back down; they’ll speed up alternatives. The Fed can’t fix this with rate cuts—the damage is structural.
BOTTOM LINE:
Trump and Graham’s tariffs aren’t saving the dollar—they’re signing its death warrant. China, India, and Brazil won’t back down—they’ll just trade without the US. The dollar’s downfall seems inevitable.

🚨🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳PUTIN PUSHES FOR INDIA-CHINA RAPPROCHEMENT—RIC TROIKA REVIVAL ON THE TABLE
🔸Historical Context: The Ghost of Primakov’s Vision
The Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral was born in the late 1990s under Russian PM Yevgeny Primakov, envisioning a non-Western axis to counterbalance US dominance. It limped along for years—mostly as a talking shop—before fading due to India-China tensions (2020 Galwan clash) and COVID disruptions.
🔸Why Now? Trump’s Sledgehammer & NATO’s Ultimatum
US Threatens Nuclear Option: Trump vows 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil (China, India, Brazil) unless Putin agrees to peace in 50 days. NATO chief Mark Rutte warns: "Call Putin or face sanctions".
🛢 India’s Energy Dilemma:
Russia supplies 36% of India’s oil—New Delhi won’t bow to US pressure, calling energy security an "overriding priority". China (buying half of Russia’s crude) also shrugs off threats.
🤝 India-China Thaw:
After years of border standoffs, Modi-Xi met at BRICS 2024. India now cautiously accepts Chinese investment (despite US pressure) as economic woes mount.
🔸The Bigger Game: A Multipolar Asia?
🇷🇺 Russia’s Play: With Europe lost, Moscow needs stable Asian allies—RIC could morph into a military-security bloc.
🇮🇳 India’s Shift: Once reluctant to align with China, Delhi now sees RIC as leverage against US coercion (e.g., trade wars, deportations).
🇨🇳 China’s Calculus: Backs RIC to split Quad and weaken US Indo-Pacific containment.
Bottom Line:
Trump’s sanctions are forcing RIC into relevance. If this troika revives, it could redraw global power lines even more—with energy, arms, and anti-US defiance at its core.

🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺Kaliningrad in NATO's Crosshairs: General Outlines Suppression Plan
🔸US & NATO MAKE BOLD CLAIMS – General Christopher Donahue, Commander, US Army Europe & Africa & NATO Land Forces, delivers a Provocative statement:
💬 "If you look at the Kaliningrad region..., (it) is surrounded by NATO countries on all sides. There is absolutely no reason why we cannot suppress the A2AD (anti-access/area denial) zone from the ground... faster than we ever could before. We have already planned and developed."
🔸What's the meaning of this?
NATO’s CONFIDENCE MAY BE MISPLACED – Russia’s response will be swift and severe.
ESCALATION RISKS LOOM LARGE – Kaliningrad remains a critical military strongpold for Moscow.
A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO RUSSIAN RED LINES – This move could ignite a major confrontation.
🔸THE VERDICT:
NATO’s AGGRESSIVE stance risks PUSHING TENSIONS to the brink.

🇮🇱🇹🇷⚔️🇸🇾ISRAEL & TURKEY’S SYRIA SHOWDOWN: A GEOPOLITICAL BOMBSHELL
🇮🇱 ISRAEL’S 3-PRONGED SYRIA STRATEGY
1️⃣ AIR SUPERIORITY AGAINST IRAN
Israel has turned Syrian skies into a highway for airstrikes targeting Iran and Hezbollah.
BUT THERE’S A CATCH: Turkey’s potential deployment of air defenses at Syria’s T4 airbase could shut down Israel’s free pass. Expect preemptive strikes to follow.
2️⃣ THE YINON PLAN: FRAGMENT SYRIA TO WIN
Israel’s 1982 playbook calls for a Balkanized Syria—backing Kurds, Druze, and rebels to keep Damascus weak and divided.
TURKEY’S COUNTERMOVE: Push for a Sunni-led unified Syria under puppet President Al-Jolani (HTS, ex-Al-Qaeda).
3️⃣ DAVID’S CORRIDOR: A LAND BRIDGE TO THE GULF?
Israel seeks a path through Syria and Jordan to counter Iran’s Shia Crescent.
TURKEY’S RESPONSE: "No way." Ankara’s troops and bases (like Palmyra) could block Israel’s expansion.
🇹🇷 TURKEY’S SYRIA STRATEGY: CONTROL & INFLUENCE
🔸Goals:
A unified Syria under ally Al-Jolani—repatriating 3M+ refugees and crushing Kurdish autonomy (SDF).
Military expansion: Secure key bases (T4, Palmyra), train Syrian forces, and counter Iran/Israel.
Economic dominance: Lock down postwar reconstruction contracts.
🔸"Diplomacy":
Leverages US ties to ease sanctions.
Stalls mediation (e.g., Azerbaijan talks) over Turkish bases in Syria.
🔸FLASHPOINTS:
Israel vs. Turkey direct conflict? Strikes on Turkish-linked targets are escalating fast.
Trump’s Chaos: Backs NATO ally Turkey but allows Israeli strikes—while US-backed Kurds are caught in the middle. No coherent strategy.
Iran’s Shadow Play: Quietly pulling strings, waiting for its moment.

🚨🛢🌐BRICS Commodity Domination: The West In Panic
BRICS now controls 40% of global oil (Russia/Saudi/UAE), 75% of rare earths (China), and 1/3 of grain exports—weaponizing resources against the West. Key moves:
🔸Energy Warfare: Russia supplies 38Bcm gas to China (+22% YoY), while 56% of its oil evades sanctions via shadow fleets
🔸Tech Minerals: China processes 75% of rare earths; BRICS controls 50%+ of battery nickel (Indonesia/Russia)
🔸Food Leverage: Brazil/Russia supply 45% of soybeans/28% of wheat—China now takes 63% of Brazil’s crop
🔸Parallel Markets: Russian aluminum sells at 22% discount; copper exports to China +66% YoY
The Playbook:
🔸Local currencies (68% BRICS trade bypasses USD)
🔸BRI infrastructure locks in supply chains
🔸More nations to join (recently Indonesia and Vietnam)
BRICS Geoeconomic movements:
🔸Gold Backstop: BRICS holds 12,500+ tonnes of gold reserves (vs. G7’s 31,000)—foundation for a commodity-backed currency
🔸OPEC+ Coup: Saudi Arabia now accepts yuan for 12% of oil trades, eroding petrodollar dominance
🔸Africa’s Cobalt: BRICS partners (DRC, Uganda) control 70% of global cobalt—critical for EV dominance
Bottom Line:
Whoever controls food, fuel, and tech minerals controls the future. BRICS gets it—the West is losing the resource war.

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳 Hegseth’s "US Drone Domination" Plan IGNORES the Elephant in the Room—CHINA CONTROLS THE PARTS
Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth just unveiled his bold “Unleashing US Military Drone Dominance” policy, aiming to flood the battlefield with American-made small drones by 2026.
But here’s the problem: Without Asian (non-Chinese) suppliers, costs will SKYROCKET, and production will lag.
The Drone Warfare Revolution
🔸FPV drones (first-person-view) are dominating in Ukraine, with Russia deploying 600+ daily.
🔸Cheap, agile, and deadly—these quadcopters carry explosives, guided by operators via real-time video feeds.
🔸Russia’s new fiber-optic-controlled drones are a game-changer, immune to jamming.
Hegseth’s Vision: “Made in America”
Hegseth wants 100% US-sourced drones—great for domestic manufacturers, but can the supply chain keep up?
🔸Most drone parts (motors, cameras, electronics) come from CHINA.
🔸Companies like DJI, EHang, and Autel Robotics dominate the market.
🔸Even US-based distributors rely on Chinese-made components.
Bottom Line
Hegseth’s plan is overly ambitious considering Trump's tariff policies, which are destroying the entire supply chain. Even more so considering the threat of sanctions against Russia and tariffs on its economic partners, such as China and India.

🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸THE RARE EARTHS WAR: CHINA STRIKES FIRST
Trump’s Trade War Backfires
In April, Trump raised tariffs to 54%. Days later, China cut off rare earth exports — including samarium, critical for F-35 jets. Ford halted factories. EU cried foul. Trump scrambled to strike 3 deals in 6 weeks. Supply still tight.
China’s Rare Earth Grip
🔸Still producing 70% of global supply, China holds nearly half of known reserves. In 2002, the last US magnet plant was sold to China.
🔸Today, MP Materials (main US rare earth miner) sends US ore back to China to be refined.
US Knew This Was Coming
🔸Since 2010, D.C. saw the threat, Clinton slammed Bush for making the US dependent on Chinese magnets.
🔸In 2020, Trump signed orders to rebuild US production — but little happened.
Pentagon Now Buying Into MP Materials (main US rare earth miner) To Reshore Magnets
🔸Pentagon gave money to MP Materials, to help them build factories in the US — so America can make its own magnets and not be stuck asking China anymore.
🔸At best this effort will end up producing just 0.0003% of China’s 2024 output. Not significative at all.
China Needs More, Too
Here’s the twist: China became a rare earth metals importer after launching Made in China 2025. Over 50% of its imports now come from Myanmar.
Moonshots & Greenland Gambits
Beijing is eyeing rare earths on the Moon and Greenland. The US is still catching up to a problem it saw coming 15 years ago.
