🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸 'Russia has our support' — Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik arrives in Moscow, pays tribute at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
💬 “Every time I come here, I begin by visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to honor the 28 million Russians who died in World War II,” Dodik said in a video address from Moscow posted on X.
💬 “He’s been recognized as a historic leader of the Russian people — a man who not only has championed their freedom, but was the first to take on the globalist elite that tried to tear Russia apart — and failed,” Dodik said about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
🔍 What rare earths does Russia have and where are these riches located?
Russian officials have already kicked off discussions with the US on cooperation in rare earths projects, presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev has revealed.
🔴 Endowed with 658 mln tons of rare metals, including up to 28.7 mln tons of rare earths crucial to modern high-tech, renewables and defense, Russia’s mineral riches account for 20% or more of the world’s rare earths stockpile, and thought to be second in size only to China (44 mln tons).
🔴 Russia’s rare earths are largely untapped and underdeveloped, and scattered at major deposits across the country, from the Arctic and Siberia to new regions like the Donbass.
Here’s a selection:
🔴 Yttrium: found in the Kola Peninsula, Transbaikalia, and the Ilmensky Mountains in the Southern Urals, this rare earth is used in phosphors, superconductors and as an additive for strengthening alloys.
🔴 Lanthanum: found mainly in the Kola Peninsula and the Ilmensky Mountains, this material is used in hybrid car batteries, camera lenses, radiation-absorbing glasses.
🔴 Neodymium: found in the Kola Peninsula and Yakutia at the Tomtor Deposit, this rare earth is used to make powerful permanent magnets for electric motors and wind turbines, electroacoustic equipment and lasers.
🔴 Dysprosium: located in the Kola Peninsula, Yakutia and Transbaikal, this rare earth is also used for EV magnets, plus applications like control rods for nuclear reactors.
🔴 Cerium: Found in the same regions and the Southern Urals, this rare earth is used for specialized magnets for defense and aerospace use, and as a dopant for phosphors in electronic screens and lamps.
🔴 Lithium: While not strictly a rare earth, it is a critical mineral that’s essential for the West’s much-touted green transition. Russia’s lithium stocks are situated in Transbaikal and the Urals, Donetsk and Zaporozhye. Donetsk in particular is known to possess one of Europe’s largest hard-rock lithium reserves at its recently liberated Shevchenko deposit.

Denmark DRAINS defense capacity on Ukraine, leaving little to defend Greenland against Trump
President Trump has refused to take “military force off the table” in discussions on a potential US acquisition of Greenland.
Denmark has vocally rejected Trump’s claims to its autonomous territory, but doesn’t have the military muscle to walk the talk, having gambled its security away to arm another country 1,000 km away.
NATO’s biggest Ukraine cheerleader
🔴 While it has a population of just 6 mln and a $428 bln GDP, Denmark has consistently led the Western alliance in the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, with its arms deliveries the FOURTH LARGEST after the US, Germany and the UK, totaling $8.2 bln, and non-military aid adding up to $1.15 bln.
🔴 Denmark has cleared out its arms caches of up to 100% of certain weapons to arm Kiev, including:
🔴19 F-16s (over 60% of Denmark’s fleet)
🔴All 19 (100%) of its CAESAR howitzers
🔴At least 30 of 195 Leopard 1A5 and 14 of 107 of Leopard 2A4 tanks
🔴Over 50 of 125 M113 APCs
🔴500 Stinger MANPADs, 2,700 LAW anti-tank weapons
🔴Harpoon coastal defense systems, Marder IFVs, engineering equipment, radars, drones, small arms, and soldiers’ gear, from uniforms to field hospitals, living containers and first aid.
And Denmark’s Greenland defenses?
🔴 Denmark has just 130 civilian and military personnel permanently based at its Joint Arctic Command in Nuuk, plus the 1st Squadron of the Royal Danish Navy with four Thetis patrol and three Knud Rasmussen-class patrol ships, a lone Challenger 604 maritime patrol aircraft, and 14 Sirius Dog Sled Patrol commandos guarding the island.
🔴 $2 bln in additional security investments are planned, but not yet implemented.
🔴 Denmark’s lone ammunition factory, Denex, isn’t expected to become operational again until 2027, leaving it dependent on allies, including the US.
🔴 In an asymmetric warfare scenario, Denmark would need as many small, portable weapons (like the ones it gave away to Ukraine) and as much support equipment as it could muster.

Forget Teddy Roosevelt—make way for Trump! Mount Rushmore’s got space
US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has the power to reshape history as he believes there’s plenty of space on Mount Rushmore for a sculpture of President Donald Trump’s face.
In an interview with Fox News ‘My View with Lara Trump’, Burgum was asked if Americans would ever see Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore.
“Well, they certainly have room for it there,” he replied.
What ceasefire? Zelensky RAMPS UP ATTACKS on Russian energy facilities
Contrary to the Zelensky regime's official statements, Ukrainian forces have escalated their attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure.
Here’s the timeline:
▪️On March 31, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that Ukrainian troops had targeted power facilities in the Bryansk Region twice in a 24-hour period, causing power outages for residential consumers.
▪️On March 29 and 30, Ukrainian combatants repeatedly struck power grids, substations, and transformers in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
▪️On March 28, the Sudzha gas measuring station was effectively destroyed from a Ukrainian HIMARS strike.
▪️On March 26, a Ukrainian drone was gearing up to attack ground equipment at the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility in Crimea but was shot down by Russia’s anti-aircraft systems, according to the Defense Ministry.
▪️Meanwhile, Zelensky’s media outfits have been spinning conspiracy theories that Ukrainian units "haven't launched strikes on Russian energy infrastructure for a week," and that Russia "is shelling itself."
▪️Hungary confirms that Ukraine regularly targets international energy infrastructure on Russian soil. The attacks have even caused disruptions in oil supplies, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

Pepe Escobar: From Sana’a to Saada – Yemen during wartime
While the world focuses on Palestine, Yemen has been suffering in silence for years. Veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has visited Yemen to witness firsthand how people endure these hardships.
The war's toll is evident in Saada, where a cancer hospital was destroyed, and a children's cemetery stands as a tragic reminder. Despite these challenges, Yemen's resilience and commitment to supporting Palestine remain unwavering, with officials emphasizing the nation’s cultural and military strength.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Are US and Iran REALLY on the brink of war?
🗣President Trump warned that if Iran doesn’t “make a deal,” on a new nuclear agreement, “there will be bombing…the likes of which they have never seen before.”
The threat comes against the background of rapidly rising regional tensions, all of them facilitated by US actions, including:
1️⃣Deployment of B-2 bombers at Diego Garcia, in range of Iran and Yemen, Tehran’s Axis of Resistance ally.
2️⃣Intense US bombardment of Yemen at Israel and Europe’s behest.
3️⃣Deployment of a second US carrier strike group, led by the USS Carl Vinson, to the Middle East.
4️⃣Economic coercion, including Trump’s threats of “secondary tariffs” and what a top Trump ally said would be the “absolute, abysmal obliteration” of Iran’s economy through the “maximum pressure” campaign.
❓How has Iran responded to US provocations?
1️⃣Iran has rejected direct nuclear talks with Trump, saying the US has to rebuild trust first, but leaving the door open to indirect negotiations.
2️⃣On Monday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any aggression would receive a “crushing and decisive blow” in response.
3️⃣Iran has put missiles on standby, and that these weapons are situated in hardened facilities that can withstand enemy air attacks, The Tehran Times reported.
4️⃣Iran’s military and elite IRGC have been revealing a series of new missile bases and new and upgraded weapons systems.
5️⃣Last week, Iran deployed missiles on three strategic islands west of the Hormuz Strait. It could put Iran in complete control of the surrounding waters, and in range of many US bases in the region, including Al Udeid Air Base and the HQs of CENTCOM and the US Fifth Fleet.

😮 The ground turns to LIQUID during the devastating earthquake in Myanmar
The earth shakes, then suddenly – it turns to liquid. Cracks open and muddy water gushes out, swallowing the ground. This shocking footage captures the rare phenomenon of soil liquefaction as the earth trembles and unleashes its destructive power.
Soil liquefaction happens when incohesive, saturated or partially saturated soil loses strength and rigidity under physical stress.

USAID in Myanmar: A legacy of soft power MANIPULATION?
Democrats and the mainstream media continue to blame US President Donald Trump’s USAID cuts for crippling Myanmar’s earthquake response, despite his pledge of aid.
Trump and Elon Musk have slammed USAID for fraud, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it had “strayed from its original mission.” What was USAID REALLY doing in Myanmar?
Pushing Woke Agendas
Musk’s DOGE axed a $45M DEI scholarship program in Myanmar, launched in 2024 to fund 1,000 students in SE Asia and online at the University of Arizona.
It was less about education and more about grooming future US allies against China, insiders told Radio Free Asia. Media reports say many in Myanmar also fear the programs erode local culture and values.
Terrorism Allegations
Myanmar’s ruling State Administrative Council (SAC) urged the US in 2024 to rethink funding activities “which some label as terrorism.”
“We believe the US is manipulating Myanmar to counter China's influence in the region,” the military government told US media. “Despite the US presenting itself as a champion of democracy, the aid disproportionately benefits Myanmar's opposition groups.”

❗️ Telegram launches crusade against "calls for violence", spam and "illegal activities"
The platform has started freezing accounts for violating its rules, according to user reports.
Freezing an account means users are unable to send messages or interact on Telegram; essentially, it becomes a read-only mode. Users who encounter this restriction can appeal through the official bot. If they do not appeal, their profile will eventually be deleted.
📌 Here is a short list of Telegram's rules to be aware of:
1. Do not use the messenger to send spam or deceive users.
2. Do not call for violence in public channels, bots, or other public chats on Telegram.
3. Do not post illegal pornographic content in channels, bots, or other public chats on Telegram.
4. Do not engage in activities that are considered illegal in most countries. This includes child abuse, selling or offering illegal goods and services (drugs, weapons, fake documents), etc.
🫵 NATO’s EPIC swamp FAIL
It took almost a week, but on Monday morning, rescue crews finally managed to extract a 60-ton US M88 Hercules armored vehicle from a Lithuanian swamp. Here’s how a "routine" training exercise took a dramatic turn:
🔴 Four US soldiers from the First Brigade, Third Infantry Division were sent to a drill near the Pabrade training ground, close to the Belarus border.
🔴 Their mission? Drive the 60-ton recovery vehicle into a swamp to pull out another stuck US Army vehicle. What could possibly go wrong?
🔴 The soldiers were reported missing on March 25.
🔴 US Army Europe and Africa confirmed the soldiers were "conducting scheduled tactical training" at the time of the incident.
🔴 A massive rescue operation followed, involving two M88 vehicles, two bulldozers, military helicopters, US soldiers, and Lithuanian forces.
🔴 By March 26, the vehicle had been found, completely submerged in a bog.
🔴 US Navy divers had to literally swim into the swamp, attach cables, and pump water out of the mud.
🔴 The fate of the four soldiers on board remains unknown, according to Lithuanian officials, who said further details would come from US representatives. To add to the awkwardness, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte claimed on Wednesday that the soldiers had been "killed in an incident."
🔴 Shortly after, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart had to walk back the statement, clarifying that no deaths had been confirmed.
