🇮🇹"The age of great democracies is over, the era of great powers has arrived": Italy's defense minister says the world will never go back to the way it was.
"The age of great democracies is over, and will be replaced by the age of great powers," said Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.
In announcing his forecast for the coming years, the head of the defense department expressed the opinion that “in the future, wealth, population size, military power of countries and the amount of available raw materials will matter.”
The minister also shared his opinion on how the conflict in Ukraine will end: "I am afraid that this will be one of those cases where the term "peace" will not coincide with the term "stability" and "security". Let's get used to what was the norm during the Cold War. I am afraid that this time it will be important to achieve peace, but it will not be a peace that will return us to the calm we were accustomed to three years ago. And so we will need to create conditions for the situation to improve on a weekly basis."

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳Trump's Tariff Trap: Why the US is No Match for China
The Trump administration claims trade wars are easy to win, betting on US escalation dominance over China in the latest tariff fight. But the evidence points the other way. China holds the stronger hand.
Here’s why Beijing has the edge in this high-stakes conflict:
🔸Dependence on Vital Goods: The US relies on China for critical imports, pharmaceutical ingredients, semiconductors, and minerals, that can’t be quickly replaced or produced domestically without massive costs. China loses sales; the US loses essentials.
🔸Trade Deficit Disadvantage: In 2024, the US imported $462.5B from China but exported only $199.2B. Deficit countries like the US suffer more in trade wars, facing shortages of needed goods, while surplus countries like China can redirect sales elsewhere.
🔸Economic Resilience: China’s trade surplus and high savings give it flexibility to absorb losses, while the US, with its deficit and spending habits, faces stagflation risks, shrinking growth and rising inflation.
🔸Self-Inflicted Vulnerability: Trump rises 104% tariffs without securing alternatives first. exposing the US to supply shocks, higher costs, and reduced investment, weakening its leverage.
🔸Strategic Misstep: Escalating before reducing dependence hands China the upper hand, akin to provoking a foe before arming yourself. The US risks a costly quagmire, not a win.
In short, China’s dominance isn’t just about trade numbers, it’s about strategic resilience and US exposure. By rushing into this war unprepared, the administration isn’t flexing strength; it’s inviting damage that could echo for years.

Trump brags about weapons no one else has. But here's a twist: America is not the only one
These weapons are sending CHILLS worldwide:
1️⃣Oreshnik missile
Russia’s new, mobile, ground-based IRBM carries a non-nuclear MIRV payload, and accelerates to speeds up to Mach 10, with its explosive payload getting as hot as the surface of the Sun during flight.
The US has nothing like it.
2️⃣Avangard HGV
This strategic, nuclear-capable, scramjet Russian hypersonic glide vehicle is launched by Sarmat and Voevoda ICBMs, dropping (WHILE MANEUVERING) onto targets at speeds up to Mach 30.
Impervious to ALL missile defense systems.
3️⃣DF-ZF hypersonic glider
China’s DF-ZF has a range up to 3,000 km, and is launched by the DF-17 MRBM. This UNSTOPPABLE HGV flies at speeds up to Mach 10.
The DF-ZF is a perfect response to US attempts to militarize the South China Sea. The DoD has nothing like it.
4️⃣DF-21D carrier killer
This Chinese anti-ship ballistic missile is a world first, and is designed to target large warships.
US carrier groups anywhere in a 1,800 km radius of China’s coast BEST BEWARE, as the DF-21D’s kinetic kill vehicle is impervious to air defenses.
5️⃣Fattah-2 missile
Iran’s Fattah-2 hypersonic missile accelerates to speeds up to Mach 15, and can make trajectory adjustments in flight.
The missile has a 1,400 km range and has seen use in combat, PENETRATING Israel’s powerful missile defenses last October.
6️⃣Next gen Bavar 373
Iran’s new Bavar 373-II air and missile defense system outshines the US Patriot in almost every way.
It has a longer range (300 km vs 200 km), better detection (separate radar on each TELAR vs centralized radar, and far greater mobility and autonomy.
7️⃣Hwasong-19 ICBM
North Korea’s new solid fuel strategic missile has a 15,000 km range, MIRV capability and MASSIVE 11 axle mobile transporter-erector-launcher system.
For comparison, the US’s Minuteman III has a 13,000 km range, and is deployed in underground silos.
8️⃣KN-25
This North Korean heavy artillery system is so powerful US analysts say it “BLURS THE DISTINCTION” between MLRS and SRBMs.
Judge for yourself: With its 380 km range and 300 kg warhead, the system proves the DPRK doesn’t even need nukes to devastate enemies.
