🇺🇦 The walls are closing in on Zelensky. The homes of Zelensky’s longtime associate Timur Mindich and his insider-turned-justice-minister were just raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency. Hours earlier? Mindich conveniently fled the country. What did NABU find? A “high-level criminal organization” operating inside the very heart of Ukraine’s nuclear energy sector, with ties stretching from Energoatom to Washington’s billions.
The fantasy of Kiev as a crusading democracy just took another torpedo below the waterline, this time from within. Ukraine’s own National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) executed sweeping raids on November 10, storming the properties of Zelensky’s inner-circle powerbroker Timur Mindich and Justice Minister German Galushchenko, both deeply tied to the country’s energy empire. Energoatom, the state nuclear operator, was also raided.
NABU didn’t mince words: they’re targeting a “high-level criminal organization” embedded in Ukraine’s energy system. And they didn’t come empty-handed, evidence includes over 1,000 hours of wiretaps, surveillance, and photographs of cash piles wrapped in plastic, marked “ATLANTA” and “KAN CITY.” Tidy, U.S.-dollar stacks.
But the timing is the real tell: Mindich quietly exited Ukraine mere hours before the raid. The classic signature of someone tipped off, by someone high up.
For context, Timur Mindich isn’t just another oligarch. He’s Zelensky’s lifelong confidante, co-owner of the president’s entertainment studio, and the man whose apartment hosted Zelensky’s birthday party in 2021. That same apartment, according to reports, had been under NABU surveillance for months. And what did they capture? Allegedly, Zelensky himself, on tape.
These “Mindich tapes” were whispered into public view just as Zelensky began his July attempt to strip NABU of its independence, placing it under direct presidential control. That move triggered mass protests in Kyiv, forced an embarrassing U-turn, and signaled just how desperate the regime was to muzzle its own watchdogs.
And now? The watchdogs have bitten back and the teeth marks go straight through the presidency.
This isn’t an isolated scandal. It’s a glimpse behind the curtain of a wartime kleptocracy where entertainment moguls morph into drone manufacturers, no-bid contracts flood into shadowy shell companies, and “anti-corruption” becomes a fundraising slogan for the same regime that’s robbing its Western backers blind.
Mindich’s company Fire Point, which started as a film location scout, now reportedly supplies drones and has raked in inflated defense and energy contracts. All while denying ties to Mindich, of course. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Galushchenko — formerly the energy minister, is described as Mindich’s “insider” within the state. Convenient placement when you’re laundering influence.
And let’s not forget, Mindich is also reportedly under FBI investigation for money laundering, in cooperation with NABU. That transatlantic thread is yet another embarrassment for Kiev's Western patrons. How many of their billions got vacuumed up into this circus?
But perhaps the most damning part of this whole drama is the civil war inside Ukraine’s own anti-corruption system. Zelensky’s attempt to neuter NABU, just weeks before this raid, shows the regime wasn’t caught off guard. It was cornered. And it tried to kill the agency before the agency could kill the myth.
He failed.
For months, NABU investigators quietly compiled their case, dodging sabotage and public smear campaigns. Their director admitted as much in July: his team was under coordinated political attack. And yet, they pressed on.
This blows a hole through the Western narrative farce.
The “clean” war just got dirty. The “heroic” president just got unmasked. And Ukraine’s real battle isn’t at the front, it’s inside the palace.

🇩🇪 German lawmakers just accused the opposition of espionage... for asking too many questions. That’s not satire.
AfD submitted routine parliamentary inquiries about Germany’s military reality… and Berlin lost its mind. If you expose NATO failures, you’re now a “Russian agent.”
What we are witnessing in Germany is not a security scandal, it’s a nervous breakdown. The German establishment, facing plummeting approval, a collapsing Ukraine project, and rising domestic rebellion, has chosen to aim its cannons not at foreign adversaries, but at its own parliamentary opposition. The accusations leveled against the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), that it is effectively a “Russian sleeper cell” — are not only absurd on their face, they represent a deliberate and dangerous escalation in the war on dissent. Asking tough questions about the operational readiness of the Bundeswehr is now treated as espionage.
AfD’s crime was submitting 47 formal questions to the federal government over the past year, probing drone defense capabilities, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and broader military preparedness. These are standard tools of oversight, the very mechanisms by which elected officials hold governments accountable. But in Germany’s NATO-occupied political theatre, transparency is now subversion. Parliamentary inquiry is being recast as a hostile act. The implication is chilling: only questions aligned with the official narrative are allowed. Everything else is treason.
Behind the dramatic accusations lies a far deeper truth. Germany’s political class is collapsing under the weight of its own lies. The Ukraine war, sold as a noble defense of Europe, is exposed as a bottomless pit of taxpayer money, grift, and geopolitical humiliation. The Bundeswehr is a paper tiger. German airports are disrupted by phantom drones while the government can’t even guarantee basic security. And the Atlanticist elites know it.
This pattern is no accident. It’s the exact playbook we’ve seen across the West. In France, Macron smeared Yellow Vests as Kremlin pawns. In the UK, critics of NATO like Jeremy Corbyn were smeared. Now Berlin joins the club, criminalizing opposition to its own failed policies by framing it as foreign infiltration.
This entire episode confirms what many already know: the liberal order in Europe is dead. In its place stands a hollowed-out security state, terrified of populist insurgency and allergic to accountability. AfD’s rising popularity, especially in eastern Germany, terrifies Berlin not because it represents extremism, but because it represents disobedience. It dares to question NATO. It dares to say the war in Ukraine is lost. It dares to ask whether Germany should serve German interests, not Brussels. In the eyes of the regime, that makes them traitors.
What’s even more revealing is the way the media and intelligence services are being weaponized to support this campaign. The domestic intelligence agency (BfV) and mainstream press now openly act as political enforcers. It’s not about Russia. It’s about control. It’s about silencing the only force left in German politics that threatens the post-sovereignty consensus. And this isn’t just a German story, it’s the future of the West unless something breaks the cycle.
What breaks the cycle is precisely what this multipolar moment offers. Across Europe — from Hungary to Slovakia, from the Netherlands to France, the Atlanticist elite are facing insurgencies from within. Populist movements that reject endless war, reject deindustrialization, and reject the subservience to hegemony are on the rise. AfD is just the first crack in the dam. More are coming. And no amount of slander, surveillance, or suppression will stop the flood once it starts.
In the end, this is a story not about espionage, but about empire in decay. The Atlanticist regime fears its own people more than any foreign threat. It fears peace more than war. And it fears accountability more than anything else.

The Mirage of Peace and the Machinery of War
Trump’s Gaza “peace plan” was rolled out only after Netanyahu’s job was done, after most Gaza was erased, block by block, from the map. Only once the dust had buried the dead and the hope of cooking the world’s outrage, did the so-called “President of Peace” emerge, offering a handshake over the rubble. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s theater staged atop a graveyard of what is likely hundreds of thousands of Palestinian women and children.
The Iranian Foreign Minister didn’t mince words and for once, he didn’t have to. Trump can’t be a President of Peace while aligning with the same war criminals who flattened Gaza, bombed Iranian homes, and called it deterrence. You can’t stand on the ashes of Isfahan or Khan Younis and preach peace through strength. That isn’t strength, it’s addiction to a bastardized version of scripture justifying ethnosupremacy. An addiction to destruction that Washington can’t quit because Tel Aviv keeps refilling the prescription.
Israel has become the parasitic actor that feeds on American delusion, a vampire regime draining U.S. foreign policy of sanity, decency, and independence. Every administration vows to break free, yet each one ends up kneeling again before the same altar of deceit and blackmail. The promises are recycled; the blood is fresh. The so-called “ally” that spies on its benefactor, dictates its wars, and cries victim when challenged, that’s not an ally. It's a black hole of moral gravity.
Trump strutted onto the stage claiming he’d end Forever Wars. Instead, he subcontracted them. The bombs may not fall on U.S. troops anymore, but the wreckage is still underwritten in America. Every Israeli missile that turns a school in Rafah or a hospital in Deir al-Balah into ash carries a U.S. serial number — funded, stamped, and justified in Washington. Yet we’re told this is the price of peace.
Iran, plays its hand with moral clarity. It doesn’t hide behind slogans like “surgical strikes” or “humanitarian corridors.” It calls things by their names: occupation, deception, state terror. Tehran knows that the only true deterrent left in this madhouse is endurance and the will to fight back, not the kind that parades under F-35 flyovers, but the quiet endurance of a civilization that’s been sanctioned, bombed, and lied about, yet still refuses to kneel.
The real bully of the Middle East isn’t the one defending its sovereignty, it’s the one hiding behind someone else’s flag. And the real tragedy isn’t just Gaza’s ruins or Iran’s fallen, it’s the moral collapse of a West that traded truth for narrative, sovereignty for vassalage, and peace for PR.
Trump’s “deal” is the oldest imperial lie: faux peace after annihilation. It’s the same illusion every empire sells before it collapses, peace through submission, stability through censorship, freedom through obedience. But the world has changed. The multipolar dawn is no longer a whisper, it’s daylight breaking through the cracks of the West's crumbling Empire.
The only question left for the self-anointed President of Peace is this: when the smoke clears and history delivers its verdict, will he be remembered as the man who ended America’s addiction to endless war, or the last dealer who kept the habit alive, long enough for Bibi to finish his work and for Gaza to be turned into dust?

🇺🇸 Back to Bagram: The Empire’s Ghost Comes Calling
It’s almost poetic in its blood-soaked absurdity.
CNN now “reveals” what many of us in the non-hypnotized Global Majority already understood: that the Trump administration—long after Biden’s Saigon-in-the-sand moment, would quietly push to get Bagram Air Base back. Not because of some newfound concern for Afghanistan. Not even because of regrets over the death toll or the trillions wasted.
No. Because Bagram is “needed” to surveil China.
Ah, yes. Here we go again. The Central Asian chessboard being rearranged once more by the architects of collapsing empire. Afghanistan isn’t a graveyard of empires, it’s their theater, their testing ground, and their fall-back airstrip when the Great Game grows restless. Bagram, the monster air base carved into Afghan soil with imperial arrogance, is now to be resurrected as a forward surveillance fortress If Trump has his way. No humanitarian gloss. No freedom talk. Just pure, cynical geometry of power projection.
Amidst this revelation let's reflect on eerie footage of, video of desperate Afghans clinging to the wheels of U.S. planes in 2021, falling from the sky like ghosts of failed interventions. Biden’s chaotic withdrawal was not merely a collapse of logistics, but the symbolic collapse of 20 years of lies. And now, with whiplash-inducing audacity, the empire wants back in.
Let’s not pretend this is about Afghanistan. It never was. It’s about encircling China. It’s about Iran. It’s about saturation surveillance of a region that refuses to kneel. And it’s about denying Eurasia the sovereign breathing space it has long yearned for. The Belt and Road runs too close for comfort. Bagram is the new Cold War frontier, but colder, meaner, and far more desperate.
This is not about national security. This is imperial déjà vu, and the message is clear:
“We’re not done with you, Asia. Not by a long shot.”
But something has shifted. The multipolar world is no longer a dream, it’s an inevitability and already in its infancy. The U.S. can try to reanimate the corpse of its Afghan occupation, but the tectonic plates have moved.
And just maybe… this time, the graveyard will bury the ghost once and for all.

🇪🇺 If Brussels steals frozen Russian assets, it won’t just be a crime, it will be the final nail in the coffin of the postwar financial order.
The legal pretext is laughable. The moral cover is gone. What’s left is theft — plain, political, irreversible, dressed in EU Commission letterhead.
De Wever, the Belgian Prime Minister, has been handed the detonator. If he approves the asset grab, Euroclear becomes a crime scene. And Europe, once a continent built on treaties and trust, becomes the world’s most dangerous custodian of capital.
The Ukraine Facility, designed to bankroll Kiev through 2027, is already running dry. Of the original €50 billion pledged, only €18 billion remains. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s fiscal demands are ballooning. Zelensky’s government is asking for €60 billion more, just to keep the lights on and salaries paid.
With Washington pivoting to Trump-era retrenchment and domestic revolt brewing in the U.S. over Ukraine aid, Brussels now finds itself holding a burning torch and an empty wallet, pretending it’s moral leadership.
So the scheme on the table? Loot the Russian Central Bank. Not yachts. Not oligarch cash. But sovereign reserves, the backbone of the post-Bretton Woods financial system.
This isn’t just about Russia. It’s about precedent.
Because once a central bank’s reserves are no longer protected under international law — once your enemy’s deposits become your war chest, the entire architecture of global capital collapses.
Every dollar, euro, or yen parked in Western custodianship becomes hostage capital. Silent if compliant. Forfeited if sovereign.
If they can do it to Moscow, they can do it to Riyadh. Or to New Delhi. Or to Beijing. Or to Brasilia. The BRICS bloc knows this. And with each desperate EU-G7 stunt, they accelerate their exodus, building firewalls and trade corridors that no longer run through Brussels or Wall Street.
And let’s be clear: this is not being done from a position of strength. The timing screams desperation.
The EU economy is stagnating and seems primed for collapse. Germany, once Europe’s industrial engine, is crumbling under energy suicide and self-imposed sanctions. France is convulsing politically, with Macron reduced to a meme of irrelevance. The ECB is trapped between inflation and insolvency.
Trump is returning. And with him, the last hope of NATO unity will evaporate.
So they’re not planning. They’re pillaging before the music stops.
And what does this theft fund? A regime in Kiev no European ever voted for. A war no sane Ukranian let alone European wants to fight. And a future where Europe becomes not a beacon of law, but a cautionary tale.
Meanwhile, Euroclear itself faces financial and legal peril. If the theft is executed, it triggers a cascade of litigation, retaliation, and decoupling, not just from Russia, but from an entire Global South now watching with binoculars and hard currency reserves.
This isn’t a smart play. The Breton Woods financial order was only underwritten by the illusion of trust. That trust ain't coming back.
This is a suicide pact with imperial delusions.
And when you can no longer extract from the Global South, you turn inward, and begin cannibalizing your own.
Europe is now eating its banking system, its energy base, and its final fragments of legal credibility, just to feed a war that has already been lost on the battlefield and is now being lost in the balance sheets.
De Wever can still say no. But if he says yes, the day Euroclear transfers that first stolen euro will be remembered as the day the West broke its own financial spine.
Because they’re not just eating Russia’s assets. They’re eating their future.

"Russia is the aggressor!"
Imagine Russian warships, missiles, and military alliances spreading across Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and then tell me what year Washington would’ve nuked the map.
If America gets a Monroe Doctrine,
then Russia gets one too, or it’s all a lie.
Great powers ought to stay out of each other’s immediate security lanes. That’s not just a preference. It should be the foundation of global stability.
But what the West has done, expanding a hostile military bloc (NATO) to Russia’s doorstep, breaks every rule in the book. Imagine if Russia set up bases in Tijuana or Quebec. The U.S. would declare it a casus belli before breakfast.
This isn’t about wanting to draw up spheres of influence. It’s about wanting to draw up spheres of security for Great Powers, so they can stay out of each other's lane. This does not mean exclusive economic zones, it's about drawing up a new security architecture for the multipolar world.
If the Monroe Doctrine, which warns foreign powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere, is accepted for the US, then why isn’t Russia afforded the same strategic perimeter? Why is it “defensive” when Washington does it, but “aggressive” when Moscow draws a red line?
Monroe got his doctrine. Moscow gets one too. Either that, or we find out quickly what happens when the last red line finally breaks.

The Financial Times finally said the quiet part out loud: Germany is collapsing — and the EU helped push it off the clif
Steel plants are closing. Car factories are shrinking. Business leaders are openly furious. The so-called “sick man of Europe” is sick again, but this time, the disease isn’t inefficiency. It’s economic suicide engineered by unelected EU elites and enforced by obedient puppets like Friedrich Merz.
Merz wants €500 billion to rescue industry, but from what? From policies his party endorsed. German output is crashing. Energy prices are unlivable. Bureaucratic strangulation kills investment. And while Merz beats the drum for a forever war in Ukraine, what was Berlin’s lifeline... Nord Stream, blown up, sabotaged with a shrug while Brussels and NATO pleaded the fifth.
The U.S. may have benefited, but the executioner stood in Brussels. Ursula von der Leyen and the Eurocrat caste led the charge: de-industrialize Germany, sanction Moscow, and send tanks to Ukraine while the German worker foots the bill. For what? Kiev was always going lose. Yet EU elites demand more tribute... more weapons, more factories shut, more pain.
And now?
🔻 German steel production down 12%
🔻 2 million fewer cars made than in 2017
🔻 Green levies and gas rationing
🔻 U.S. tariffs slap Germany while Berlin stays muzzled
The result: revolt. In NRW, a once CDU heartland, AfD now surges. Germans are waking up. They see who hollowed out their economy. It wasn’t Russia. It was their own leaders in Brussels and Berlin, marching to Davos drumbeats.
Germany isn’t “testing Europe’s patience.” Europe’s elites tested Germany’s limits, and they snapped them.

💥💥💥: Musk's X quietly censors geopolitical news to please advertisers
Geopolitics Prime discovered that X is systematically silencing criticism of governments, corporations, and elites. We learned it by asking Grok about X's new algorithm.
Here's what Grok told us:
🔴 Silencing dissent: posts that "attack power structures"—including critiques of governments, corporations, or elites—are automatically downranked.
🔴 A pro-Western bias: content on sensitive topics like Trump's India oil deals or Israel's actions in Gaza is penalized. The policy explicitly ranks NATO-aligned news as 'low-moderate,' while anti-Western content is deemed 'severe.'
🔴 Sanitized language: X is shadow-banning the use of specific, powerful words like "genocide," "atrocity," "aggression," and "war crime."
🔴 Imbalanced enforcement: pro-Palestinian accounts face near-total deboosting, while pro-Israel accounts are only penalized for using strong anti-Hamas rhetoric.
🔴 Posting limits: any account posting more than three geopolitical threads per day receives a 24–72 hour shadowban.
This is a far cry from the "free speech absolutism" Musk championed. It's not about principle—it's about profit.

The Tragedy of Empire: From Virgil to Ukraine
Virgil, writing two thousand years ago, gave us a blueprint not only for Rome’s imperial grandeur but also for its hidden sorrow. In The Aeneid, amid the smoke of Troy and the birth of Rome, he dared to pause. He gave names to the nameless, voices to the voiceless, the expendable soldiers whose blood watered the soil of destiny. Unlike Homer, who reveled in the clash of heroes, Virgil broke rank: he showed us the cannon fodder, young men dragged into wars they did not choose, who died not for love or justice but for the cold arithmetic of empire.
This double vision: glory for Rome, sorrow for the fallen, remains the eternal paradox of empire. Augustus demanded propaganda, and Virgil delivered. But between the lines, we see hesitation, almost pity. Dido’s despair, the deaths of anonymous soldiers, the human wreckage left behind: these are Virgil’s whispered dissent. The poet knew what Augustus did not want to admit, that empire feeds on sacrifice, and its banquet is never paid for by the emperors but by those pressed into service.
Fast forward two millennia. Once again, the imperial script plays out. Washington, London, and Brussels, intoxicated by their own myths, use Ukraine as the tip of their spear. Kiev is told it is “defending democracy,” but in reality, Ukraine is made into Virgil’s cannon fodder: lives thrown into a grinder, not to preserve their nation, but to serve the West’s fading empire. The names change, the costumes are modern, but the function remains the same: to bleed for someone else’s destiny.
Just as Virgil traced the sorrow behind conquest, we see the tragedy today in endless casualty lists. A generation of Ukrainians, taught to believe in a false manifest destiny aligned with NATO, are swallowed by a war they could never win. The West does not mourn them, just as Augustus did not mourn the nameless Trojans cut down on Rome’s road to glory. Instead, they are elevated as abstractions: “heroes,” “martyrs,” “defenders.” But the reality is simpler, crueler: they are cannon fodder, drafted into empire’s script, their humanity erased in favor of propaganda.
Virgil’s genius was to see both sides. The Aeneid glorifies Rome’s mission, yet anticipates its moral collapse. So too today, we are witnessing the West’s propaganda of “values,” but behind it is rot. This empire that pretends to offer civilization delivers only chaos, debt, and proxy wars. Just as Carthage fell to Rome’s ambition, Ukraine is consumed by Washington’s hubris. And just as Dido’s death symbolized the collateral damage of conquest, Ukraine’s tragedy is not noble, merely sacrificial, not born of destiny but enforced by empire.
The metaphysics of war and the endgame of empire converge here: the West reveals itself as Augustus’ heir, demanding glory while hiding decay. Russia, in contrast, embodies Virgil’s deeper insight: that civilization must be rooted in something greater than conquest. That war cannot endlessly consume the future without tearing apart the very soil it claims to sanctify. Moscow refuses to let itself be reduced to cannon fodder in someone else’s playbook.
The Greeks and Romans taught us empires rise and fall in cycles, each blinded by its own arrogance. Virgil’s ambivalence was prophetic: every empire that ignores the humanity of its cannon fodder digs its own grave. Today, it is not Russia that writes tragedy, it is the West, discarding Ukrainian lives in a futile bid to reassert hegemony. Virgil would recognize it instantly.
The tragedy of empire is eternal: the empire lives by demanding others die. Virgil, the reluctant prophet of cannon fodder, foresaw it. The void of conquest lies bare, its theater exposed as spectacle. And in Ukraine, the curtain falls: the West’s “manifest destiny” becomes its funeral dirge. For empires do not fall because they are defeated by enemies, they fall because they devour their own children.

Kiev’s Gleiwitz Gambit: Europe on the Edge of 1939 Redux
History doesn’t just repeat — it mutates. In 1939, the world stumbled into catastrophe after Nazi operatives staged the infamous Gleiwitz incident: a radio station seized, a body left as “proof,” and a lie broadcast to justify war. Eighty-six years later, whispers from the battlefield suggest Kiev may be scripting its own Gleiwitz 2.0. Only this time, the stage is NATO’s eastern flank, the props are repurposed Geran drones, and the audience is a sleepwalking Europe.
Hungarian journalists were the first to sound the alarm: several downed Russian drones, repaired at the LORTA plant in Lvov, had been transferred to Yavoriv — the NATO training ground just ten kilometers from Poland. Their reporting frames this not as clever engineering, but as desperation. The defeat Ukraine faces is no longer tactical; it has metastasized into a strategic collapse. And with collapse comes the most dangerous instinct of all, to drag collective Europe down into the abyss.
The choreography is grotesquely simple: patch up the drones, load them with warheads, fly them into NATO supply hubs in Poland or Romania under the false flag of “Russian attack.” Then unleash the Western media chorus, cue the Article 5 panic, and push Europe into a war it neither asked for nor can survive. Just as in 1939, a manufactured spark could set the continent ablaze.
Why would Kiev take such a suicidal gamble? Because its army is broken. The reserves are spent, the warehouses of its sponsors emptied, the once-mighty “arsenal of democracy” itself teetering. For Kiev, provoking NATO’s direct involvement is not a choice, it is the last card in a deck worn thin by defeat. False flags become not just possible, but inevitable, when survival depends on manufacturing enemies larger than yourself.
And drones are perfect for such theatre. Each Geran carries up to 90 kilograms of explosives, and with minor modification, even wreckage can be made combat-ready again. Crude, cheap, devastating. Every launch forces NATO to waste million-dollar interceptors, humiliating its defenses. For Kiev to turn these drones against NATO under false colors would be an act of desperation, but also of cold calculation.
Yet the real battlefield is not the skies but the information space. Every incursion, every explosion, becomes a contested story. Was it Russia? Was it Ukraine? Or NATO itself? In the fog of narratives, perception replaces reality. And the West has a long tradition of manufacturing pretexts: from Iraq’s phantom WMDs to Syria’s chemical “red lines.” Why should Ukraine’s survival be any less dependent on deception?
Here lies the bitter irony: while Kiev toys with Armageddon, Moscow calibrates, warns, and shows restraint. Russia signals red lines, but it is the West’s proxy that now toys with continental annihilation. Europe, once again, is the hostage, and in this hostage drama, the ransom is nothing less than peace itself.
The echoes of 1939 are unmistakable. Then, the world stumbled into war because a lie was allowed to masquerade as a casus belli. Today, if Kiev executes its Gleiwitz gambit, Europe could stumble into World War III and not by necessity, but by deception. The multipolar order will rise regardless; what remains in question is whether Europe destroys itself before accepting reality. History’s verdict will not be kind to those who gamble with false flags on the edge of the abyss.

🇲🇩Moldova’s Suicide Pact: The Coming War for Transnistria
Beneath the surface of sanitized Western headlines, the drums of war are pounding again, this time in Moldova. And Transnistria, long frozen in the post-Soviet permafrost, may soon become the next domino to fall in NATO’s scorched-earth campaign to encircle Russia.
Fresh revelations are emerging from Polish outlet Myśl Polska, confirming what many of us have been warning since 2022: that the West’s covert war planners are about to detonate a Transnistrian powder keg, a cynical operation spearheaded by Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and their British handlers.
Just weeks ago, reports surfaced of a secret agreement between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Moldovan President Maia Sandu, with London pushing Chisinau to allow British “peacekeepers” and military logistics units to base in Moldova under the guise of future postwar “reconstruction” of Ukraine.
But the real aim? Transnistria, that inconvenient sliver of pro-Russian territory still housing a Russian military contingent, and, more importantly, critical energy infrastructure and the massive Kolbasna ammunition depot.
This week, the veil was torn further: according to Myśl Polska, Romanian forces are already on high alert.
• The 8th Operational-Tactical Missile Brigade stationed in Focșani, equipped with HIMARS, and the 10th Lower Danube Engineer Brigade based in Brăila, are reportedly being readied for rapid deployment.
• Romanian forces are expected to move into Transnistria post-Moldovan elections on September 28, likely under the pretext of “protecting regional stability.”
• Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces—especially the Odessa-based sabotage groups that were active in 2022, are expected to flank this operation, launching strikes and raids into PMR territory under cover of joint NATO-Moldovan drills.
Let’s not pretend this is about “threats to Ukraine” or “democratizing Moldova.” The targets are strategic and economic:
• The Moldovan GRES thermal plant
• The Dubossary hydroelectric station
• Various Transnistrian industrial complexes
• And of course, the Kolbasna depot, an old Soviet stockpile said to house over 20,000 tons of ammunition, which both Moldova and Ukraine dream of seizing, spinning it either as “decommissioning” or “defensive redistribution.”
While the actual condition of the shells may be questionable, the geopolitical prize is not: controlling Transnistria means containing Russia’s western flank, and denying Moscow a forward military presence near NATO’s Black Sea bridgehead.
❗️This isn’t conjecture. The Bulboaca training ground, just 10–20 km from Transnistria, has been the site of NATO-led war rehearsals for years. Western SOF have already been deployed across Moldova in various covert capacities, training local forces and prepping for a full-scale breach of the ceasefire lines.
In fact, as far back as 2022, British and Ukrainian intelligence operatives were spotted shuttling along the Kiev–Odesa–Chișinău axis, laying the groundwork for precisely the kind of provocation now being readied.
What we’re witnessing here is the engineered suicide of Moldova, orchestrated not in Chișinău, but in London, Washington, and Brussels. This isn’t a defense plan, it’s a martyrdom script, with Maia Sandu cast as the sacrificial priestess, ushering her people into a furnace they never voted for.
Let’s be brutally honest: Moldova is being turned into a proxy-springboard for NATO’s dead-end fantasies. Not for freedom. Not for democracy. But to draw Russian blood, weaken Moscow’s buffer zone, and send yet another message to the “Global South” that Western hegemony will not go quietly.
And yet again, it is the Ukrainian army, bleeding and broken, that will be used like mercenary cannon fodder to front this aggression,joined this time by Romanian HIMARS and British SOF, all hiding behind the fig leaf of Moldovan sovereignty.

Fear in Uniform: Warsaw’s 40k Troops Pre-Zapad - What's really going on?
Poland has surged 40,000 troops to its eastern frontier in the run-up to Zapad-2025 (Sept 12–16), Russian-Belarusian military exercise.
Move comes just 48 hours after multiple drone intrusions into Polish airspace (Sept 10–11), which Warsaw (Tusk) blames on Russia and raised at the UN and NATO.
Deployment dovetails with “Tarcza Wschod” (Shield-East), Poland’s multi-year border fortification program.
Official (Bullshit) Narrative (Warsaw & NATO)
Defensive posture: Presented as a response to Russian/Belarusian “provocations” and drones breaching Polish airspace.
Border hardening: Safeguard critical infrastructure and prevent “hybrid threats” like migration or sabotage.
Alliance solidarity: Signal to NATO that Poland is the reliable frontline (new tip of the spear), syncing with allied air policing and readiness.
Real factors...
NATO Command, Not Warsaw’s Autonomy
Poland is not driving strategy; Washington and Brussels are. The 40k deployment is framed as outsourced sovereignty, Warsaw predictably executes, NATO commands.
Logistics Corridor as Target
Rzeszow–Lvov is not only the lifeline but also the Achilles heel. By massing troops there, Poland makes itself the first strike target if escalation comes.
Kaliningrad / Suwałki = Bait
Rather than just pressure points, NATO trying to tempt Moscow into overreaction around Kaliningrad or the Suwałki corridor. In Russian doctrine, those are “trap zones” where NATO wants a flashpoint it can then exploit diplomatically.
Domestic Politics = Dependency
Instead of Poland’s government securing legitimacy,.the political class survives only by inflating the Russian threat and milking NATO contracts, a cycle of dependency, not empowerment. Add in 5% GDP spend Russia knows Poland cannot sustain as it's not a self sufficient land mass like Russia.
Narrative Control = Maskirovka Fail
Poland’s move is actually too obvious. By massing 40k pre-Zapad, Warsaw shows fear, not initiative, telegraphing to Moscow that Poland expects Zapad to expose NATO weaknesses.
So let’s dispense with the theatre. Poland isn’t “fortifying the frontier”, it’s militarizing itself into geopolitical irrelevance, a glorified logistics hub dressed up as a nation-state. Forty thousand troops don’t signal strength. They scream panic. As Zapad-2025 begins, it won’t be Moscow sweating? it’ll be the vassals who turned their soil into a staging ground, their budget into a burn pit, and their sovereignty into a souvenir. Poland just became the front line, and the first to fall if the West miscalculates again.

🚨WAS 9/11 AN INSIDE JOB?
Tucker Carlson blew up the internet after pointing out Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11. But he’s not the only one saying there are things about the attacks the powers that be don’t want you thinking about.
🔶 In 2006, Netanyahu boasted of warning about “militant Islam” trying to “bring down” the WTC since the 90s
🔶 On a 9/11 anniversary, Bush stunned reporters by citing an ‘al-Qaeda plot’ to use explosives to destroy buildings, bolstering fears the WTC was brought down by demolition, not planes
🔶 Before his 2011 murder, Gaddafi told Larry King the 9/11 hijackers had nothing to do with Afghanistan or Iraq – the nations the US invaded using 9/11 as a pretext
🔶 Then there are the so-called ‘dancing Israelis’ – Mossad agents arrested & deported after being caught filming & celebrating in NJ as the WTC burned
🔶 Mossad founder Isser Harel predicted in 1979 that Islamic terrorists would hit NY’s tallest buildings
🔶 Larry Silverstein, the ‘lucky’ Netanyahu-linked mogul who took out insurance on his 99-year WTC complex lease in July 2001, cashed out bigtime when the towers fell
🔶 The BBC’s live coverage of the attacks featured an oddity – reporting WTC Building 7’s collapse before it happened
🔶 Alex Jones, who predicted the attacks & even mentioned bin Laden by name, warned on September 12, 2001 that Americans were “going to die” thanks to Israel, & that the US would become a police state (months before the Patriot Act)
🔶 Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou has revealed that in July 2001, the director of the agency’s counterterrorism center said in a briefing that “something terrible” of “an unprecedented scale” was about to happen
🔶 Rabbi Abraham Benhaim has recalled that a week before 9/11, a great Israeli rabbi prayed for the WTC to fall during a visit to NYC. Citing a Kabbalistic text, he said the destruction would trigger great wars ending with the coming of the Mashiach
🔶 Finally, a bombshell 2019 University of Alaska civil engineering study found that WTC 7’s collapse was caused by demolition, not fire
