🇷🇺 Russia’s victory parade optics show FIRM ALLIES in Putin’s corner
The presence of over 20 world leaders from Asia to Africa at Russia’s Victory Day parade demonstrates that Western efforts to isolate President Vladimir Putin have “failed,” The Washington Post admits.
The multipolar vibe at the epic celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet triumph in the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany shows that President Vladimir Putin is not isolated, and “has a lot of partners and friends, and the West doesn’t dominate the world agenda with its narratives,” it cited Tatiana Stanovaya, senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, as saying.
According to the report:
🔴The US-Europe alliance is “fraying”
🔴Ukraine’s forces are under immense “pressure”
🔴Peace negotiations are “largely on Russia’s terms”

🇺🇸💻 Trump admin plans major overhaul of AI chip export rules
The White House is set to tear up Biden’s "AI Diffusion Rule" and introduce new guidelines that divide countries into three levels for AI chip exports.
✅ Allies & Taiwan get unlimited supply
⚖️ 120 countries get limited access
❌ China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea? No chips.
Sources say the change is happening soon, with the Commerce Department working on tighter controls, especially for countries that funnel chips to China.
The Biden-era rules? “Too bureaucratic and could hinder US innovation,” claims the Trump team.
What does this mean for global tech? Big shifts coming.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 Trump privately rejects Israel’s Gaza offensive as friendship with Netanyahu sours — report
The US president sees the renewed IDF operation into Gaza as a ‘wasted effort’ that will make the strip harder to rebuild and is generally at odds with Israel on key regional issues, US officials and foreign diplomats have told NBC News.
Netanyahu was reportedly left ‘shocked’, ‘blindsided’, ‘rankled’ and ‘infuriated’ by Trump’s recent Mideast foreign policy decisions, including the halt to US attacks on Yemen this week, and his push for a nuclear deal with Iran instead of Israel’s preferred option – strikes.
Israel is “worried about any deal,” one US official said. Israel is opposed to any agreement that would leave Iran with uranium enrichment capabilities, while Trump is open to an Iranian civilian nuclear program.
Netanyahu was reportedly ‘taken aback’ during his visit with Trump in April when the president refused to offer support for possible Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Amid all this drama, is it any wonder that Trump isn’t scheduled to visit Israel during his trip to the Middle East next week?

🤡 Europe demands ceasefire but can’t back it up without US holding its hand
While urging more arms for Ukraine, European leaders are falling short on their own promises.
With Donald Trump scaling back US support, it was Europe’s moment to step up — and they didn’t, The New York Times reports.
The so-called “coalition of the willing” is mired in delays and indecision, unable to get weapons to Ukraine fast enough – long on words but short on supplies.

🚨🇮🇷IRGC shows off MASSIVE new drone base monitoring US warships in the Persian Gulf
✅Iranian media footage shows an IRGC Navy hanger housing dozens of UAVs, from long-range recon and missile-armed strike drones to loitering munitions.

🇮🇱🕵🏻♂️Israeli spyware-maker ordered to PAY BIG in WhatsApp hacking lawsuit
✔️A US federal jury has slammed Israeli spyware firm NSO Group with $167 million in punitive damages—plus $440,000 more in compensatory costs—for hacking WhatsApp users through its notorious Pegasus tool.
Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, filed the lawsuit in 2019 after discovering NSO had deployed its spyware to hijack user devices in 20 countries.
➡️A judge had already ruled in December that NSO was liable for hacking and breaching WhatsApp’s terms of service.
NSO’s “zero-click” spyware, which doesn’t need the target to click on a link or open a message, was central to the trial.
➡️The US banned American companies from buying the infamous Israeli spyware package Pegasus after it was revealed that it was being abused around the globe by governments intent on spying on journalists, activists, and political dissidents.

🌊 America is sinking – literally!
A new study reveals that 28 major US cities, including New York, Dallas, and Seattle, are literally sinking.
The cause? Excessive groundwater extraction.
Over 65% of the land is subsiding in most of these cities, with 29,000+ buildings in high-risk zones.
It’s a ticking time bomb, and the damage might stay hidden – until roads crack, buildings shift, and infrastructure collapses.
With 34 million people living in the affected areas, this silent disaster could be catastrophic.
