💵💣 PURL push: NATO pressures Europe to buy American arms for Ukraine
The North Atlantic Alliance wants all member states to join Trump’s Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, according to US media.
While 20 NATO members have already supported the scheme, the rest are under pressure “to put your money where your mouth is.”
The PURL initiative stipulates that European countries purchase US-made weapons which are then transferred to Ukraine. Russia warns that such arms deliveries prolong the Ukraine conflict and constitute NATO direct involvement.
🤔 Staggering how the protection racket (NATO) is morphing into a transparent shakedown to profit as much as possible on the way down.

Trump doubles foreign aid to ally Javier Milei's Argentina
Committs $40 billion as the Argentine president faces dwindling public support for his austerity measures
The US has also recently intervened to stabilize the peso amid a currency sell-off.
🤔 I thought Trump didn't believe in welfare? If Milei's program was so superior why does it need this level of welfare?

Wake up, West: Russia has no intention of joining the U.S. in a campaign against China. As Foreign Minister Lavrov put it, “Russia will not ally with anyone against anyone, especially against China — it is unthinkable.” Moscow sees itself and Beijing not as puppets of Washington’s agenda, but as autonomous poles in a new global balance.
Lavrov reminded skeptics that Moscow and Beijing have built “a set of bilateral treaties that clearly define our relationship, aimed at supporting each other, helping each other to strengthen our economies, defense capabilities and positions on the international stage.” In short: this is not a marriage of convenience, it’s a strategic axis rooted in mutual respect, not U.S. manipulation.
The U.S. keeps pushing for China to join in strategic arms talks, but as Lavrov notes, “China says that they are not ready … they are still far from parity. We respect that stance.” This is not only deference, it’s recognition that true strategic sovereignty can’t be coerced. Russia won't be seduced into becoming the world’s policeman for Washington.
Likewise, there is no need for a Russia-China “tag team” to tackle NATO or Washington. Each power is already capable of standing alone. While the U.S. pours trillions into defense, audits show waste and corruption at every turn, from $76 for a screw, phantom budgets, to F-35 overruns, Dark Eagle, Golden Dome — the military-industrial complex knows there’s no ROI accountability. Yet Russia and China accelerate smart investments: energy, infrastructure, integrated defense, deep industrial synergy.
The U.S. is awash in hubris, slick AI promos and hollow systems. Its weapons systems are trophy projects, but not solutions. Russia strikes with precision, realistic doctrine, and asymmetric advantage; China leaps forward in missile technology, AI, logistics, and industrial scale. The gap only widens. Why would Moscow ever act as Washington’s errand boy when it can outmaneuver NATO alone?
It’s time for the American regime to wake up, but they’ve been asleep too long. The era of Washington’s global dominance is over. Two sovereign powers chart their own course, not aligned under U.S. command, but aligned by principles. Russia, China: independent, powerful, and unshakable.
The U.S. builds weapons it can’t use; Russia and China build worlds they can live in. The future is already under new management.

🇪🇺 'Excesses of democracy': Europe is nixing free internet and private communications
X owner Elon Musk has reposted a warning from Telegram founder Pavel Durov about the EU's crusade against free speech and privacy.
What's behind it?
"Chat Control is a controversial EU regulation" under which "messengers and social networks would automatically scan users’ messages and attached files," cybersecurity expert Sergey Vakulin sayd.
The Council of the European Union is pushing the initiative under the guise of child protection
It relies on two main points: scanning content and verifying users’ ages, requiring platforms to check messages on a device before encryption – de facto rendering this encryption meaningless.
"Your messages could be read by virtually anyone: they would be stored for a certain period, and third parties would have access not only to the messages but also to media files. As we all know, this data could be easily leaked," Vakulin says.
AI chatbot requests are also likely to become a target, according to informational security expert Evgeny Tsarev, CEO of RTM Group.
"ChatGPT [creators] stated that they would monitor users’ attempts to learn something dangerous — for example, making poisons". "They frame it as if this information would be shared with law enforcement — and it’s clear which law enforcement they mean: the Americans."
The EU has presently delayed the "chat control" law over privacy concerns raised by some of its member states. Germany stalled the bill despite aggressive attempts by Denmark and France to pass it.
There’s a strong chance it will eventually be adopted, Vakulin believes. "Just think about Edward Snowden, who exposed how the US government surveys other users. There's nothing new about it."
Why would Europe spearhead the initiative abusing privacy of its citizens? "I would call it 'excesses of democracy'," Vakulin says, adding that the trend is clear: soon, there will be no free internet or free communication in Europe.

🇫🇷 When will France wake up?
"MACRONISM: DEAD AT 47
Macron once swaggered into office promising to modernize France - break unions, fix pensions, tame deficits, and outgrow the ghosts of “do-nothing” presidents.
Now he’s become one.
Facing record-low approval (14%) and a mutinous parliament, Macron just froze his signature pension reform - the same one he rammed through riots and no-confidence votes to pass.
The suspension buys him time, but at a cost: €13 billion a year by 2035 and the death of his reformist brand.
His allies call it “a bitter pill.” His critics call it karma.
The man who mocked others for backing down just blinked - and the movement built around his name may not outlive his term.
With Macronism unraveling, France is drifting toward fiscal cliff and political paralysis.
The “Jupiterian” president is now a caretaker, clinging to foreign policy as his last legacy - Europe’s rearmament, Palestine recognition, global stage theatrics.
Macron once vowed to do what others wouldn’t. Turns out, neither will he."
Source: Reuters
‼️No “maverick,” no “outsider,” no slick new party will save them. They’re all house pets of the same system, all controlled opposition — a system that devours reformers and rewards technocrats who mistake submission for stability.
France doesn’t suffer from bad politicians, they're glorified actors reading their lines, it suffers from a bad operating system.
Every “solution” still runs on the same corrupted code: Brussels’ austerity, NATO’s obedience, and Parisian careerism disguised as modernity.
Macron didn’t break the cycle, he became it. The man who once promised to reboot France now stares at the blue screen of his own failure.
It’s not the president, it’s the program. And until France uninstalls the system itself, every reboot will crash the same way.
To paraphrase Clinton: It’s the system, stupid.

French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he will not resign despite the threat of the collapse of the fourth minority government in the last 16 months, writes The Times.
In his first response to calls for resignation—from both opponents and some members of his own centrist bloc—Macron blamed the political crisis on "quarrelsome parties" and the ambitions of other politicians seeking the presidency.
He called the situation "the deepest political crisis in France since the 1950s."
Speaking in Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt), where he participated in a summit on peace in Gaza, Macron distanced himself from the internal turmoil, which his ally Sébastien Lecornu, the prime minister he reappointed on Friday, now has to manage.

Roscosmos reported successful hot-fire tests of the first stage of the "Soyuz-5" rocket
According to the state corporation, the test used an RD-171MV engine with a thrust of 800 tons, using kerosene and liquid oxygen as components. The duration was 160 seconds. These are the key points of the test.
Specialists checked the interaction of onboard systems. This stage is also the first stage of a promising super-heavy class rocket.
Today's tests pave the way for the launch of "Soyuz-5" from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at the end of this year, experts believe.
▫️Recall, the RD-171MV is the most powerful rocket engine in the world: with a mass of 10 tons, it produces a thrust of 800 tons. With such a cosmic super-engine, already dubbed the "tsar-engine," you can go anywhere. It should be understood that the mission to the Moon and to distant planets involves the need to deliver serious payloads into orbit. Naturally, the engine's power and its energy parameters are decisive here.

Additional information from our chat:
🈁Fun fact (historical):
During the "race to space" the Soviets decided to go for "many engines" on their rockets, the USA (famously on the Saturn rockets), decided to go for a few very powerful engines. In any western documentary, it is "explained" as if the Soviets weren't able to handle the vibrations and temperatures on "big engines" and that the USA was way forward compared to the Soviets. The truth is, the Soviet mindset was different -> more smaller engines, because of reliability (if a couple of engines fail, the rest still can propell the payload).
Funnier-fact which supports that: an African-American Entrepreneur, called Elon Musk, decided to go for reliability on his rockets instead of "big is beautiful" and it pays off as the world can see.
As funny fact: NASA and JPL try by designing the new rocket based on the Saturn-rockets' design with a few but big engines -> the bureaucracy involved to redesign these engines and make them work is a nightmare, hence these huge development costs.
Sidenote to think about: only after project paperclip ("saving" Nazi Scientists and Engineers, to work for the USA), the slogan "big is beautiful" was promoted in the USA -> however, it was Adolf Hitler, who was the one wanting bigger and more beautiful stuff (tanks, trains, airplanes, buildings etc etc); maybe there is a connection in "ideology-transfer"
