Anon: Now we have to kill the ethanol scam. Most US food is used for non-food purposes specifically so we have capacity always running. So in an emergency a non-retarded goverment count shut it off. Because there is really no real reason to put ethanol in gas. Besides making gas shitty. it's what causes gas to fuck up your engine if you let it sour or why old cars O2 sensors ect break. The "green" energy part has always been fucking retarded due to amount of energy to make ethanol has always been more than what you get. Would be nice for it to fnally die. Save alot of generators every year as well. Most broken generators is due to letting the ethanol sour in the tank. You can find gas stations with zero % ethanol and that gas never sours.
Ethanol is iterally there to prop up farmers when there isnt enough consumption. But corn doesn't need that subsidy this year, it'll have to be diverted to domestic food supply.

Greece: Tributary to Titan? | CIG #commentary
Greece was of immense maritime commercial importance in the 1960s. By the 1970s the U.S. shifted towards China. Nixon's visit to China was roughly around the time of great political upheaval in Greece. The collapse of the Greek Junta, losing the Cypriot war against Turkey. Along with the deaths of famed Aristotle Onassis and his son, Greece would enter into a period of decay and banking troubles.
With the discovery of hydrocarbons in the East Med during the 2010's there has been a great rebalancing shift back towards Greece. Stirring tensions between Greece & Turkey, resulting in proxy wars and a hyperactive Israel in the shadows. The 2020's holds great promise in the nearby Red Sea. The so-called Ocean Economy is comparable to SpaceX in terms of growth. East Africa has become a geopolitical spotlight. In the Straits of Tiran, Saudi Arabia is investing everything in Neom City to compete with Dubai. Depending on whether or not the Muslim brotherhood comes out on top of the current Sunni cold war between Qatar-Turkey vs KSA & co, Greece's shift to N/E. Africa and the East-Med/Red Sea is a golden opportunity to regain ancient prestige.
The cost being, economic security for decidedly casting off Europe. Greece sees itself as a periphery of Europe, they distinctly hate their neighbours. In lieu of this, they seek a mixed back of trade partners and allies across the sea. Haftar's Libya, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the UAE. It remains to be seen whether Greece will attempt to face Turkey in East African proxy wars, or whether they can trust their relatively distant allies to secure Greek interests in a widely violent arena they've entered.

Should the U.S. arm school teachers? | CIG #commentary
The premise itself is a huge red flag. If they attempt this, expecting liberal 80 year old granny schoolteachers rushing to designated gun locker rooms during a massacre, it is simply bad news for those kids. Realistically, these schools will hire more private security or include a permanent police presence.
Most of these high-profile school shootings take place in small towns or suburbs where local police are not prepared or accustomed to violent crime. In major cities the kids engage in gang violence outside of school rather than within. However, those schools are filled with heavy security that constantly respond to daily violence. Private security in America will resemble South Africa and Mexico very soon, an excellent opportunity for those who want to run a pmc or security company.
The U.S. will basically resemble a prison state in every conceivable way. The same ethno-makeup of prison demographics. These kids already eat prison innovated cuisine which is why hot-chips took off. All the schools are already designed similar to prisons. The security guards or police in school are basically just prison guards. Americans will even live in prison cells, the housing market will possibly crash again and BlackRock will knock down all the boomer homes to replace them with gang-infested apartments.
I don't think an ideal system could handle school shooters directly either though. These mass shootings are a symptom of diversity + modern world depression. So the way to avoid this would be to have the complete opposite trends that we have now. Improved genetic fitness, functioning white societies, no more prison state and alternative to public schooling which is poisoning the youth and ruining America.

🇹🇷 🇺🇸 Turkey will not wait for US “permission” to launch a new offensive in Syria, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in remarks published on Sunday, defying a warning from Washington.
“One cannot fight terrorism while waiting for the permission of whoever,” Erdogan told a group of journalists upon returning from a visit to Azerbaijan.
“What will we do if the United States does not do its part in the fight against terrorism? We will get by on our own,” he said.

🏴 🇹🇷 Syrian rebels said on Sunday they were ready to join Turkish troops in a possible new offensive threatened by Turkey against Kurdish YPG fighters in northern Syria to seize back largely Arab populated towns and villages held by Kurdish-led forces.
Two senior commanders said orders were given to heads of units of the Turkey-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) to take an offensive stance as the Turkish military step up mortar shelling and drone strikes in territory the YPG control.
"Readiness can happen in a day or two. There are thousands of fighters ready to participate alongside the Turkish military," Captain Abdul Salam Abdul Razak, a prominent Syrian opposition commander told Reuters.
Turkey last week dismantled parts of a concrete wall near Kobani which Ankara had built along the 911-km-long border with Syria, in a move to push forces into the border town, two rebel sources said.
A senior opposition commander in touch with Turkish military however said it was not certain the military operation would start soon, adding it could be postponed until "further notice."
Erdogan's vow to undertake the incursion coincides with Turkey raising stakes in his row with NATO partners over Finland and Sweden joining the alliance.
A YPG source who is not authorized to speak publicly said at least several thousand troops have been redeployed and sent to Kobani and other threatened towns.
"All options are open in the next few days," he said.

Hiking is a brain exercise as much as a body exercise because you are constantly adapting your body to the ups and downs and changing weather and sunlight. So your brain and body have to work together, strengthening connections and forming new ones. On a treadmill you are using the same muscles over and over and your brain shuts off. Same with a car or any enclosed spaces where your body isn't constantly adapting to a rapidly evolving environment.

We are at the precipice of a crisis akin to the Arab Spring, but much worse and on a wider scale possibly impacting sub saharan countries as well. Already we have seen further destabilization in Syria, Pakistan and Iran in recent weeks. And with every major power being distracted by War in Ukraine or tensions in the Pacific, nobody will put out the fires that rise elsewhere.

«The Caucasus Emirate» and the Taliban call for a fratricidal war in the Caucasus - Russian-language channel Rybar:
May 2022 is coming to an end, the conflict in Ukraine is not dragging on as it should, so what is needed? That's right, ignite new conflicts.
Read with interest the statement of the terrorist crypto group, the Caucasus Emirate. Why "crypto"? Because for all seriousness of intentions, the group is left with one and a half Faroukh Shami from Idlib, Syria. All the relatively "serious" muhajirs and mujahedin have long been feeding the vultures.
And now all these "billets" are being pulled out of their sleeves: moreover, they are being used in conjunction with Afghanistan. The official statement of the terrorist organization «Caucasus Emirate»about the need to ignite a fratricidal war in the Caucasus is reposted by the Taliban.
And do you know what else the Taliban are doing? They are urging Russian Muslim pilots in the Russian Air Force to defect from military service and fly to Afghanistan, going under the banners of Afghanistan: so that they don't fight against the "Ukrainian brothers". They even set up a feedback bot for those willing to defect to the Taliban.
And this was right after the opening of the official Taliban embassy in Moscow.
See what's being done: now there is an attempt to use the previously worked out billets of terrorist organizations in conjunction with the rocking of the situation in Central Asia / Middle East, using the narrative of “Russia is the aggressor”. Accordingly, any supporter of the Russian Federation represented by geopolitical allies and partners in various blocs (for example, the CSTO and the SCO) will be equated with conditional Russia.
Afghanistan in this case is nothing more than fertile ground for the cultivation of such sentiments.
The summer of 2022 will be hot. And the fall will be dank.

This pilgrimage aims to bring back this spirit of combat against all human hope to reestablish Christianity. It will not be easy, it will not be fast, but it wasn’t back then either. What is certain is that the land of Mary will one day rise again Catholic. We encourage you to go on pilgrimage this year to Covadonga for the spiritual Reconquest of Spain, of Europe and of the whole world.

What separates the sniper from the average combatant?
The insistence on a high confidence first round hit.
What do we need to do to accomplish this goal?
A cartridge and rifle that suits our particular need, with the training and professionalism to back it up. Lets begin our first section with rifle/cartridge selection.
A lot can be said about this. Tens of thousands of forum posts, articles, and books have been written on this very subject, with many obnoxious and tedious rabbit holes. Firstly, we must define our mission: How far is our target? How much energy must be on the target at that distance? Are we expecting to take shots from a hidesight a mere 50 meters from our adversary? Are we watching over a field or chokepoint with ranges varying from 300 to 600? Are we attempting to take a long range high confidence shot at 1200 or further extended ranges? Are we attempting to disable a vehicle, what is an acceptable CEP for this?

Anon: I've trained cops in a professional context and they don't know what the FUCK they're doing. Even cops that have been on the force for 5 years can do legitimately embarrassing things. We've seen (big city) SWAT shove an AR15 magazine in backwards, how do you manage that? Put cops on FoF (force on force) scenarios and they crumble when these shooters show up with the street heat and employ violence of action paired with legitimate tactics.
The supposed "top of the line" guys coming to "rescue you" are remarkably ineffective when the chips are down. The sort of person that goes into policing is not a gunfighter. Even the best SWAT (unless they came from that weird transitional era where [redacted] and the ex-delta boys started pioneering it) aren't gunfighters. SWAT has that illusion as they have numbers and are used to winning every confrontation. However, at the end of the day they're just like you but with a license to kill from the government.
Most Euro SF is like that too, just a dude with good cardio. Gunfighters are a rare and specific breed like the Natural Born Killer. Remember that shooting with Cruz? The Stoneman Douglas HS shooting? Kid was so fucking stupid he didn’t even shoot through the windows because he thought they’d be “bullet proof” to a 5.56 round. Yeah that one. Their local security and the police responders are genuinely not psychologically equipped to handle scenarios with an active threat environment.
Not having an NBK attached to a group is bad news. It can't be all NBKs but striving for more than 0 is always good. You can teach people not to run away and train them well, but the NBK has ultimately got the edge.

Anon: Since late 90s and early 2000s there was Columbine and a lot of Hispanic gang members coming into schools to settle business with gang kids. Solution to this was to make schools into literal jails. Public schools in the US have an airlock with electric doors, if you walk into one there is a wee little window you must state your affairs into and if they are like "ok sounds good" they buzz you into school. All other doors of school only open from the inside out for fire escapes, same with yard doors. Keys are a teacher only thing and most teachers lack door keys anyway.
In sandy hook the guy just shot the retrofitted tempered glass door and then walked through it, in response most doors were treated with window films to laminate them and/or replaced with safety glass with mesh wire inside. The issue with this airlock is that if there is nobody at the airlock (shot? out to lunch? etc) the cops dont have a decisive way to make entry into the school. Same thing is true of court houses and other public infrastructure that deployed the same hardening mechanisms. Ive had to let officers into the court house many times when im inside, they literally could not get into the building if a bad guy has a gun and was stalking from office to office with an ar10

Uvalde Shooter entered school through propped open door, had over 1,600 rounds of ammunition
Officers did not try to break down the classroom door sooner because the commander thought it was barricaded and was no longer an active shooting situation, McCraw said.
A Uvalde CISD officer that was reportedly at the school when the shooting commenced was actually off campus. Director Steven McCraw said that once that school officer heard the reports of a shooting, he raced back to the school and headed to the back of the school where he thought the shooter was located.
The school officer then confronted who he thought was the shooter, but it was actually a teacher.
"In doing so, he drove right past the shooter, who was hunkered down behind a vehicle," Director Steven McCraw said. "He then began shooting at the school."
Director Steven McCraw said video footage showed that Ramos entered the school at 11:33 a.m. through the propped open door. Two minutes later, three Uvalde Police officers entered through the same door and were met with gunfire by Ramos. At 12:03 p.m., Director Steven McCraw said there was a total of 19 officers in that school hallway.

Former US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffrey told Al-Monitor that Turkey already controls a large part of Syrian territory along its border,
He stated that in order to create a “safe zone” where Syrian refugees will be accommodated, it is necessary to connect these regions and to take Russian-controlled areas such as Kobani and Manbij.

"[W]e are concerned that, in a world in which abortion could be made illegal, Google's current practice of collecting and retaining extensive records of cell phone location data will allow it to become a tool for far-right extremists looking to crack down on people seeking reproductive health care. That's because Google stores historical location information about hundreds of millions of smartphone users, which it routinely shares with government agencies," Democrats wrote Tuesday in a letter led by Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.). The letter was sent to Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

🇦🇿 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Anti-Iranian Union of Israel and Azerbaijan. Part 2 - Deepening cooperation as a possible escalation of tensions
The meeting of the two high-ranking officials took place against the backdrop of a critical aggravation of the situation in Iran. And there is no sign of stabilization yet.
🔻 What happened in Iran in May?
▪️ In early May, protests broke out in Iran in different cities, mainly in the southwestern part of the country, where the main oil and gas facilities are located.
The rallies, which began because of the food crisis, turned into anti-government demonstrations demanding the overthrow of spiritual leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi.
The main protagonists of the anti-government demonstrations were supporters of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and members of the People's Organization of the Mujahideen of Islam.
▪️ Due to the increased risk of an armed confrontation with Israel, the Shahid Rudaki, a floating base of the Iranian Navy, arrived in the Red Sea.
It houses reconnaissance and strike UAVs, as well as ballistic missile launchers capable of hitting targets in Israel.
▪️ Israel, in turn, will hold large-scale exercises from May 29 to June 29, during which a war with Iran will be simulated.
At the same time, the @CIG_Telegram channel draws attention to the fact that part of the exercises related to the processing of the scenario of hostilities with Hezbollah was canceled so as not to irritate the Arabic-speaking population and concentrate on Iran.
▪️ On May 22, a high-ranking member of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed. According to the official version of the investigation, the murder was committed by members of a terrorist organization supervised by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.
Telegram channel @BellumActaNews reports that the Israelis hold the victim responsible for planning special operations against Israeli citizens around the world.
The Iranian leadership said that this event is the crossing of "red lines", which will be followed by "inevitable retribution."
▪️ Against the background of this threat, the Israeli authorities ordered to transfer all foreign embassies to the regime of a terrorist threat.
In Iran, the internal political situation is actively swaying. Protests, contract killings, the threat of famine and total drought can cause the conflict to escalate from standard threats to military confrontation.
And we should not forget about the ethnic component: ethnic Azerbaijanis and Turks live in the north of Iran. Amid a likely stalemate in the nuclear deal with the US, Mossad officials will help fuel even more protests there to make matters worse for Iran.
It should be added that the main phase of tension in relations between the two countries began after Iran increased the level of uranium enrichment in the nuclear energy research laboratory in Netanza.
It was to discuss this issue that Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz traveled to Washington last week. Interestingly, there are still no details about the results of the visit.
The risk of danger from Azerbaijan may force the Iranian leadership to speed up the development of the nuclear program, which, according to the Israelis, is in the final stage.
In this case, a stalemate arises for both countries: both Iran and Israel may try to launch a preemptive strike to eliminate the enemy.

🇦🇿 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Anti-Iranian Union of Israel and Azerbaijan. Part 1 - "Humanitarian Projects"
On May 17, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held a meeting with Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Israel Oded Forer.
They visited the city of Zangelan in the East Zangezur economic region, located 7 km from the Iranian border. An Israeli-funded "smart village" project is currently underway in this locality.
🔻 What is so important about this project?
Close cooperation has been established between Israel and Azerbaijan since the 1990s. Specifically, a significant amount of weapons was transferred to Azerbaijan, which helped win the Second Karabakh War.
The location of Israeli-planned "peaceful" facilities so close to Iran has already given rise to much speculation about Israel's covert use of civilian infrastructure to deploy intelligence assets and personnel there.
According to the Israeli media, Azerbaijan's support is a great opportunity to force Iran to focus its attention on the situation in the Caucasus far from the territory of Israel itself. This union is especially dangerous because ethnic Azerbaijanis live in the northwestern part of Iran.
In case of further escalation, Israel will theoretically be able to use Azerbaijani territory to deploy its weapons or aircraft to destroy nuclear and military facilities.
Last year there was news about the transfer of F-35 aircraft, which then looked like fantasy. And although even now the probability of this is rather small, such an outcome of events cannot be completely ruled out.
In addition, Israel has a rather impressive stock of operational-tactical and ballistic missiles (there are in nuclear ammunition), which will certainly be used in the event of an armed clash.
However, publicist Alexander Nazarov believes it is extremely unlikely that Israel will dare to attack Iran directly before Donald Trump returns to power.
At the same time, he does not rule out the possibility that the Americans could unleash another war in the Middle East in the event of a clash with China over Taiwan. If they understand that China is gaining the upper hand, then the scenario of “distracting attention from oneself” will be implemented, following the example of Ukraine.

"These are useless measures that can only lead to a dangerous situation. In addition, the United States will have to face serious consequences on its own," he stressed.

🇺🇸🇰🇷❌🇰🇵⚠️ — South Korean/ROK Joint Chiefs Staff (JCS) reports that South Korea/ROK Military and US Army fired two missiles into the East Sea on Wednesday in response to DPRK/North Korea’s test of a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and two other missiles earlier in the morning,
The South Korean military also conducted an Air Force drill known as an elephant walk, JCS said, as the Yoon Suk-yeol administration “strongly condemned” North Korea’s missile launches and warned that North Korea’s “continued provocations” will “inevitably result in stronger and faster deterrence of the South Korea-U.S. alliance.”
The two missiles that the U.S. and ROK fired in response were a South Korean Hyunmoo-II missile and a surface-to-surface missile from the U.S. Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), according to JCS.
Seoul’s Air Force also conducted an elephant walk, during which thirty F-15K fighter jets taxied on the ground, on Tuesday in preparation for the actual launch on Wednesday after detecting signs of a “ballistic missile provocation,” JCS said.

However, the license is now expected to be renewed as-is or returned to some of the terms it had in 2020, which did not limit Chevron's drilling, processing or shipping of oil from Venezuela.
"A final decision has not been made yet," said a person familiar with the matter. Chevron's license will expire on June 1

US President Joe Biden said in a memo that he has officially designated Colombia as an important non-NATO ally of the United States.
The designation will give Colombia the opportunity to benefit from special access to U.S. military and economic programs, but does not provide security guarantees like those given to NATO members.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Colombian counterpart last week about U.S. plans to designate Colombia a major non-NATO ally. The two defense leaders discussed the importance of maintaining a strong U.S.-Colombia defense relationship and strengthening cooperation on strategic issues of mutual interest in Latin America, according to the Defense Department.

⚠️‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️⚠️
🔴 Greek border guards report unusually high immigration flows into Greece
>https://archive.is/OaEpv
👮🏻♂️🚨 "Every day there are about 200-300 arrests of illegal immigrants who try to cross the Greek-Turkish border - There are no specific crossing spots, they use the entire border of the Evros river"
🔸 The smugglers are trying to take advantage of the low levels of the river in order to cross many small groups of immigrants into Greece. The river gets as low as 0.5m (1.7 ft) deep in the shallowest areas, it would normally be at least 2.5m (8.2ft) deep
🔸The authorities report that every week there are around 10-15 arrests of smugglers. The border patrol has received 400 additional men and some known crossing paths are under surveillance and have been fortified, but the river levels makes the whole situation worse
🚨 The expectations so far are that 2022's summer will be a very challenging one, with very high immigration levels (FRONTEX will deny it)

🇹🇷❌🇸🇾 — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan threatens to carry out a new incursion into the Syrian Territory!
During an interview to discuss the tense situations between Turkey and Greece, Turkish President Erdogan announced that a New Turkish Military Operation will soon begin to establish a "Safe zone 30km deep in Northern Syria where Turkey has no control, currently on the hands of the anarcho-communist forces & Kurdish-led People's Protection Units (YPG) and their US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) allies
According to him, Turkey’s operation will prioritise the areas [in Syria] where Turkey receives the most attacks, where those attacks are planned, what many pro-Kurdish and pro-YPG/pro-SDF activists and netizens interpreted as preparations for an eventual attack against Kobane and/or Tal Rifaat, the enclave in the hands of Kurdish insurgents since Operation Olive Branch

🇮🇱🔥🇮🇷 | War Trumpets over the Holy Land and the Masriq: A 4D Chess between Zionists and Khomeinists (2/2)
—Another interesting point to note is the point that at the same time as these tensions, attempts to destabilize the various factions of the Iranian Opposition — from Monarchists to Anarchists, from Liberal-Feminists to Communists —, many of them whose the heads are based in the United States & Europe, are taking place right now, with protests over inflation and cost of living, being gradually turned into demonstrations against the Government itself, mainly in the Oil-rich & Arab-Lorestani majority province of Khuzestan

— https://archive.is/785BJ
Such protests obviously divert the Iranian Government's attention from international affairs to deal with domestic instability. It is worth noting that this is the fifth time in just 1 year that the various factions of the Iranian opposition have tried to cause a national rebellion in Iran.
At the same time, Israel is again facing internal political crises, albeit sporadic, as the Rightist Naftali Bennett, who leads a Frankenstein-esque Govt, — A Coalition that unites from parties of Secular Russian Jews & Conservative Zionists to Labor Zionists & Arab-Israeli Parties — face tensions at home, with the Palestinian factions gradually becoming a source of tension within Israel & Occupied West Bank, the last that little by little has become more and more militarized by both sides, thus becoming yet another battlefront, albeit by proxy, between Israelis and Iranians, a scenario notoriously inserted in the military exercises announced by the IDF as one of the battlefronts against Iran
The most recent of the episodes being the Wave of attacks inside Israel proper, the clashes inside the Holy Sites and the episode that ended with the tragic death of Palestinian-American Journalist Shereen Abu Aqleh, a Melkite Christian, killed during fighting between IDF Forces and Palestinian Militants in Jenin, Occupied West Bank.

Such a point of eventual militarization of the West Bank and its eventual transformation into a battlefield is one of the highlights in the now-announced massive exercises by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, published by us here
The problem with the consideration of the idea of a clash between Persians and Israelis, as noted by CIG, is that Washington does not want such a confrontation, a priori, as it wants a Quid Pro Quo with Tehran (the Nuclear Agreement for the stabilization of the energy market)
Such a scenario, ultimately, could lead to the apocalyptic scenario where Israel and its regional allies, like Samson, would have to face their Persian enemies, alone, and, worse, with an increasingly unfavorable public-international opinion.

🇮🇱🔥🇮🇷 | War Trumpets over the Holy Land and the Masriq: A 4D Chess between Zionists and Khomeinists (1/2)
— For months as noted by us and our partners, the escalation of tensions between the so-called "Axis of Resistance", led by the Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and composed of its regional allies and proxies, against the "Zionist Axis", figuratively speaking Israel and its regional allies, such as the United Arab Emirates Monarchy, again reach another climax.
The May 22, 2022, cold-blooded murder of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Colonel Hassan Sayad Khodayari, whom the Hebrew-language media and the Jewish State Government accuses of in planning attacks on Jews and Israelis worldwide, shows just how serious the situation is.
The beginnings of such renewed tensions, however, stem from the ballistic missile attacks made from Iranian soil against what Iranian state media claimed to be a Mossad Base in Erbil, capital of the Autonomous Province of Iraqi Kurdistan (KRG):
🇮🇷🗞 Press TV (March 14, 2022): Ballistic missiles hit Mossad bases in Iraq’s Erbil, kill Israeli officers: Iraqi media
— https://archive.is/aSBmU
Added to the impasse surrounding the issue of the Iran Nuclear Agreement between Tehran and the West (US and EU), which Tel-Aviv sees as an existential threat, accusing Tehran of using an eventual agreement with looser conditions, or worse, the scenario where an agreement does not take place, as a justification for developing atomic weapons, even though the Government of Iran, for religious reasons, repeatedly says that it does not officially intend to develop such weapons of mass destruction.

Such regional tension occurs precisely at a point where the current not-so-proclaimed Regional Leader of the Arab sphere, Saudi Arabia, seeks a not-so-firm detent with Iran's allies in Yemen, the Ansarollah Rebels/Houthi Movement, with American and Israeli media indicating that this could be a "crucial ally" to open a new flank against Israel and its regional allies, given the strategic position under the control of Yemeni rebels

Notably, to end the point of the Yemeni front, it is necessary to remember that Israel and its UAE allies support within the Yemeni theater the Separatists of the Southern Transitional Council, a group that seeks to remake the former state of South Yemen, a long-time ally of the USSR, that existed there until the eventual unification of the country after the end of the Cold War, on the condition that the separatist rebels let the Israeli secret service use the Island of Socotra, located off the coast of Yemen and Somalia, as a base, where Israel allegedly would send weapons and supplies to rebels inside Iran and watch their Persian Opponent's movements

The support consists of surplus material, so the government alone could make the decision. The support in question is covered by confidentiality and will not be commented on further for the time being. Confidentiality is necessary, among other things, to ensure that the support arrives and can be used by the Ukrainian defense.

Anon: Much better fuel if you do ground effect over lift. Because you get both lift and the air cushion pushing you up. Ground effect is stupidly better than lift in terms of efficiency. Really the lack of ground effect platforms have baffled me. Unironically lower tech than actual aircraft but a bit more limited as they can only go as high as like their wingpspan allows. Bigger wings larger the ground effect pocket. Really something you want to go as large as possible on to ensure your pocket is big enough to be higher than the bigger sea swells and jolt around less.
Biggest thing is basically abilty to do American logistics without the air base, water is the air base. Can't really bomb craters in the water. C5s take huge fucking airfields we have to hold the area for awhile before we can establish Mass air cargo that isnt c-130s. For small and shitty airfield you are stuck with c130s, with an Ekranoplan you could make a C5 blush with the load but be limited to mostly coastal missions. I imagine water sled drops or buzzing beach doing no stop drops. Honestly the system would work better on water as water would absorb the shock better. Anyway I could see a floating suppy pallet where they land kick them out on the water then they have to use rope or small boat to bring it to shore. I'm thinking like the standard privite boat ramp traliers, probably have to shape them like 2 sided boats so there is no capsized. I'm also imagining a two sided pontoon boat pallet.
Honestly this seems like a pacfic theater focus. Ekranoplans are very viable though. Especially in somewhere like the Pacific's littoral waters like this is targeting. Fast island hopping and quick amphibious landings will be necessary with China. Low flight speed means that half competent computer assisted flak targeting should BTFO them though? Not something you'd fly into a contested environment, but it's also skimming the water. Ekranoplans would be challenging for traditional AA systems. Nobody does coastal fortifications anymore. Sure a big auto-cannon could rape it. However it's fast and you're not gonna know where a landing is gonna be made.
Flies under radar, just a point but yeah main point is less constested area more High speed high freight low fuel and probably too fast for traditional anti ship missiles. Too low for tradtional long range AA.

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 Biden Says U.S. Military Would Defend Taiwan if China Invaded
TOKYO — President Biden indicated on Monday that he would use military force to defend Taiwan if it were ever attacked by China, dispensing with the “strategic ambiguity” traditionally favored by American presidents in outlining what the United States would do in such a volatile scenario.

"People from all over the world danced and had fun to the rhythm of the DJs on each float that ended their tour in the proudest square in the south of Gran Canaria," the statement says. There the music continued to play until the early hours of the morning with a full house at the shopping centre plaza and its surroundings."

🇺🇸 🚒 Largest Wildfire in New Mexico History Among Several Scorching Southwest
ALBUQUERQUE — As temperatures climb on the East Coast, wildfires driven by heat, dry winds and drought are scorching huge swaths of the Southwestern United States, in states including New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, prompting a far-reaching mobilization of firefighting resources.
The early-season blazes include the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak fire, which at 306,472 acres ranks as the biggest wildfire in the United States right now and the largest in New Mexico’s recorded history. More than 2,400 firefighters, about half of the firefighters currently deployed around the Southwest, are battling the fire.
At least 10 wildfires have also been spreading in recent days in Texas, including the Mesquite Heat fire near Abilene, which has destroyed dozens of structures. In southwestern Colorado, cold, wet weather has helped the authorities contain the Simms fire, but mandatory evacuations in the region have kept many people on edge.
“This is probably the busiest start of a fire season we’ve ever had,” said John Gould, chief executive of Tanker 10, an aerial firefighting company which uses DC-10 jetliners to drop water and retardant on wildfires.

From BBC mundo
🇺🇸🇻🇪🇨🇺 What is behind the changes in US policy towards Cuba and Venezuela?
After insisting for a long time with sanctions, reproaches and extreme pressure, the United States began to relax its policy towards two of its biggest Latin American antagonists: Cuba and Venezuela.
Washington separately announced this week that it would ease its restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba, as well as negotiations with the main US oil company in Venezuela.
The measures are limited and are far from assuming a normalization of US relations with the governments of both countries.
📌 A controversial summit
The announcements from Washington came as the Biden administration prepares to host the ninth Summit of the Americas next month in Los Angeles.
The prelude to the conclave is marked by struggles and a risk of a boycott by some presidents due to the probable exclusion of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, countries that the US has suggested it would leave out because it considers them autocratic.
The US has responded that it has yet to make the final decision on the guests and opened a dialogue with López Obrador about his claim.
In the Biden government they deny that this controversy over the summit has any relationship with the policy changes towards Cuba and Venezuela.
"The timing of this I would say is completely separate from what the Mexican president has said regarding Cuba," a senior US government official told reporters Tuesday about the sanctions relief on Venezuela.
The official said that the measures, which include a "limited" authorization for the US oil company Chevron to negotiate possible future activities with Venezuela, seek to support a restart of dialogue between the government of Nicolás Maduro and his opponents.
He also pointed out that the Biden government had spent months preparing its new policy towards Cuba, which authorizes commercial flights to cities on the island beyond Havana and suspends the limit of US$1,000 per quarter on remittances.
However, some analysts see a clear link between these changes and the region's criticism of the Summit of the Americas to be held June 6-10.
"It is a sign that the Biden administration does not want to reach the summit empty-handed," says Cynthia Arnson, director of the Latin American program at the Wilson Center, an independent analysis center in Washington, to BBC Mundo.
📌 "The obvious country"
Despite the loosening of restrictions on Cuba and Venezuela, analysts consider it unlikely that Biden will finally invite both countries to the Los Angeles conclave.
Domestic political reasons also weigh in on this: the presence of Cuban or Venezuelan authorities in the US would cause internal rejection months before the mid-term elections in November.
Others believe that the US sees in Venezuela, the country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world, an opportunity to lower the price of oil, which soared after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February.
In March, as the US pushed sanctions on Russian oil, Biden envoys made a surprise trip to Venezuela for private talks with Maduro, a Moscow ally who has said he is willing to increase oil production.
Venezuela released two US prisoners after that meeting, which also drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
Now the idea gains strength for some that the West's conflict with Russia has also moved US policy towards Venezuela.
"The visit in March (to Maduro) was part of a global look at how to substitute oil from Russia to the world with production elsewhere," says Arnson. "And in Latin America, the obvious country is Venezuela."

The order is placed within a framework agreement, which was updated in April 2022, and allows FMV to place orders for ground combat weapons and ammunition from Saab during a ten-year period. The order comprises the new programmable high explosive ammunition, designated HE 448.
“Once again Saab’s world-leading Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifle will strengthen the Swedish defence capability. This further proves the excellence and robustness of Carl-Gustaf,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.

This is confirmed to OKDIARIO by health sources, who work discreetly to isolate any source of contagion and trace the path of the virus to prevent the outbreak from continuing to grow.
So far, Madrid has recorded a total of 45 cases (15 of them suspected). The last ones have been added to the list after spending 24 hours as suspected cases, but they have already been confirmed this Friday by the laboratories that reviewed the biological samples extracted from those affected."

On its site, the Darklands festival indicated that the three cases confirmed this Friday by the health authorities were "linked to visitors" of the 2022 edition, which took place from May 5 to 8 in the port city.

An interesting text to read (Could the US military dominate space via Starlink’s satellite network?)
— A commentary in the official newspaper of Chinese armed forces suggests the world should be on high alert for the risk
— Starlink could allow the US military to gain ‘situational awareness while keeping adversaries in the dark’
And also the use of this technology in the Ukrainian war.
First, at the same time that Starlink’s satellite network enables Ukrainian military officials to achieve a military advantage, it also provides service to hundreds of thousands of civilian users. Russia might possess only limited capacity to localize denials of service or tailor effects to counter only military uses.

Anon: Russia was an important ally for Israel to wrangle Iran in Syria. This is why Israel was Pro-Russia/Neutral at the start of the war in Ukraine. But they are losing value now. As Russia pulled their troops from Syria and handed over the bases to Iran. Tensions will only escalate at this point, because if Iran has good GLOC routes to people near Israel then suddenly Israel will have their own Ukraine war to deal with. Instead of discount rockets, Palestinians may end up armed the same way the houthis are. The flip side also means Iran will be more destabilized and can attack more openly. The Ukraine war is not really the best thing for Israelis because grain and food subsidies is what keeps the local region passive. And so cutting these off have unleashed a crisis similar to the Arab spring, except it is threatening Israel.
Just wanted to comment on your chariots of fire post to add a little more context outside the nuclear deal. Utimately, Israel is becoming more aggresive because Iran doesn't have Russia to hold them back anymore.
The U.S. walked carefully around Iran because they can basically wipe out U.S. bases if they need to. Mind you, the retaliation would be massive so they dont do it. But its basically a MAD that mostly keeps either from engaging each other much outside of limited strikes. Sometimes they lob small rockets at base but never kill anyone, or throw drones against heavily defended bases knowing they will be shot down. They intentionally attack U.S. convoys with non lethal IEDs, no one has died or been serioustly injured in awhile. Like IEDs designed to only take out tires. Iran mostly wants to force the same MAD with Israel I think to establish a balance a power.

"If you asked me years ago that we would have a coup again, I would have said that this would no longer happen in Brazil, that the people, the institutions were already consolidated," Pereira noted. However, "Bolsonaro has already publicly announced that in October he may lead a coup d'état, so we'll first need to win with a lot of difference, we're doing this with our bases," explains the PT activist, who is part of the leadership of the campaign in support of Lula, formally launched on May 7 at the Patria Institute in Buenos Aires.

🇲🇩 "The government of the Republic of Moldova denied to promulgate the law which would oblige Moldova to be permanently neutral. Russian press accuses cooperation with NATO since 1994"
The law was proposed by BCS (The Socialist and Communist (Voting) Bloc) and was aiming for a "permanent neutrality" of Moldova said the Press Office of the Cabinet of Ministers quoted by the TASS News Agency.
"The principle of neutrality is already included inside Moldova's Constitution and is one of the founding principles of the state. The form and limits of the permanent neutrality allowed by the constitution can be created through laws and acts. With all this in mind and taking into consideration the bad wording and the many contradictions inside the proposed law, the Moldovan Government sees the approval of this law as inoportune at this current state, without any modifications" said in a statement released by the Moldovan Government. Also noted in the same statement was that "the approval of the law would have negative consequences for national security" .
"Analysis showed that this act would limit the possibilities for the defense of the country. It creates the premises for the isolation of the country on a international level which is against our national interests" explained state secretary inside the Moldovan Foreign Ministry and Ministry for European Integration Veaceslav Dobîndă.
The law was submitted by BCS back in March this year and it's authors believe that their law would limit the way the Moldovan constitution could be interpreted. In their opinion the laws do not offer clear answers for the application of the constitution's clauses related to Moldovan neutrality and it does not state what limits exist in regards to military cooperation, humanitarian missions and the possibility of giving and receiving military aid.
TASS accuses Moldova of cooperation with NATO and cites several opinion polls showing the majority of the population being opposed to NATO membership. It also accuses the Moldovan government of breaking the 1994 Constitution by working with NATO in a individual-partnership plan.

🛳️ Bloomberg: Repsol and Eni would be authorized by the US to take Venezuelan crude to Europe
The United States will allow European oil companies still operating in Venezuela to divert more oil to the continent immediately, while Chevron will be empowered to negotiate the resumption of operations in the country, according to an insider who spoke on condition of anonymity. to detail these plans.
The US-backed Venezuelan opposition supports the move, the source said, quoted by Bloomberg.
Italy's Eni and Spain's Repsol are the only major European oil companies operating in the country. These corporations are in talks with the government of President Joseph Biden to take the Venezuelan oil produced by the joint ventures in which they participate to Europe, instead of placing it in China.

Chariots of Fire | CIG #commentary
Important to keep in mind that the Middle East has been fairly active this year, it has simply gone unnoticed due to the focus on Ukraine and other issues.
From a bird's eye view, Israel is transitioning towards a more hands-on approach as the direct American military presence wanes in the region. That isn't to say that the U.S. won't spend billions on military aid for these wars. The direct American involvement in the region during the past, fulfilled Israel's foreign policy goals for the Clean Break Initative. Essentially using Americans as a sledgehammer to weaken Israel's enemies so that they themselves could target weaker prey. Whether or not this truly weakened them is debatable.
It also seems that Israel is wary of the ramifications from disturbing Arabs. They decided to cancel a segment of their Chariots of Fire exercise that simulated war with Hezbollah. This was set was to take place in Israel's third largest Arab city, Umm el Fahm. The local mayor, Samir Sobhi Mahamed said: “Needless to say, moving armored personnel carriers inside the city that simulates a battle against Hezbollah has a dramatic effect on the feelings of the residents. As mayor of the city, I do everything within my power to promote co-existence and improve the image of the city as well as the quality of life within it. And I am afraid these kinds of military exercises are harmful to those goals.”
This will be an important region to look at this decade as Israeli funded smart cities pop up across the gulf states and regional powers dispute over hydrocarbons in competing exclusive economic zones.

Israel is preparing for war with Iran
▪️ Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Iran is weeks away from obtaining the material needed to build a nuclear weapon. He noted that the development of Iranian ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles and other military technology have reached the point where an urgent response is needed.
▪️ In this regard, the Israel Defense Forces exercise will begin on May 29 and will last one month. All units of the armed forces, including reserve formations, will be involved.
▪️ The purpose of the exercise is to simulate war with Iran and proxy formations in Syria and Lebanon, as well as countering terrorist groups in Israeli territory. The scenario of air strikes against Iranian nuclear and military facilities will also be practiced.
▪️ Characteristically, in planning a direct confrontation, the Israeli leadership took into account the strict need for direct U.S. involvement and the availability of their advanced weapon systems on Israeli territory.
▪️ However, Washington is certainly not ready to support the Israelis yet: the Biden administration is in another "advanced" stage of negotiations on the nuclear deal with Iran. At the moment, getting involved in another conflict against the backdrop of confrontation with Russia and China is fraught with consequences in the form of a new round of economic crisis.
▪️ In order to change the mind of the American government, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz went to Washington. He intends to hold talks on the "Iranian threat" with his American counterpart Floyd Austin and Jake Sullivan, the US president's national security advisor.
🔻 It is unlikely that the White House is now planning to go to war with Iran. Both for the U.S. and for the rest of the world, such a scenario would mean another jump in oil prices, which would have an even greater impact on inflation.
But the Israeli leadership will try to make the most of the current situation. They will focus on the precariousness of Iran's real positions in order to force the U.S. to abandon the nuclear deal.
The Israelis will try to bluff Iran's tough negotiating position in order to cover the acute socio-economic problems that are already manifesting themselves in the form of nationwide protests in the Islamic republic.

Turkey, a Nato member since 1952, is aggrieved by what it sees as Sweden’s failure to crack down on members of the Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK), an armed militia that has waged an armed struggle against the Turkish state since the 1980s. It has also accused Stockholm of harbouring exiled members of the Gulen movement, a secretive Islamic sect that Ankara blames for a violent coup attempt that rocked Turkey in 2016.

Due to the ongoing global inflation, as well the not-so-recovered impacts on the global supply chain from both the COVID-19 lockdowns and the impact caused by the State of Belligerence in Ukraine, Iranian Markets abruptly suffered a raise on prices as much as 300% for a variety of staples such as cooking oil, chicken, eggs and milk on Thursday.
As expected, the dozens of groups opposing the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a collection of anti-government groups ranging from Communists affiliated with the MEK to Royalists loyal to the last Pahlavi dynasty, have demonstrated and are trying to make food riots for their respective causes, since its members participate together with the average protesters in the protests

Joe Biden's administration will reinstate a family program that allows Cuban relatives of US citizens or residents to migrate to the US, where they can seek employment while awaiting visa legalization.
"The U.S. government's announcement is a limited step in the right direction. The decision does not change the blockade, the fraudulent inclusion on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, nor most of [Donald] Trump's maximum pressure coercive measures that still affect the Cuban people," said Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.

🇵🇱 Former Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland Romuald Sheremetyev believes that after Sweden and Finland, NATO will have to think about the "demilitarization of the Kaliningrad region."
In an interview with the newspaper Dorzeczy, Sheremetyev said that the Russian region is a “powder barrel between the legs”, on which the North Atlantic Alliance will sit.
In his opinion, after Sweden and Finland, the organization will strengthen positions on the eastern flank, practically "invading St. Petersburg", but Kaliningrad prevents the domination of the military bloc in the region. Therefore, the Russian enclave must be demilitarized and renamed.
In addition, Sheremetyev expressed confidence that "present-day Russia is much weaker than the Soviet Union, and Putin is still not the class leader that Stalin," so the ex-minist hopes that "the collapse of Russia will happen faster than you can expect."
The "proud" Shlyachi sleep and see how "Russia breaks up." Well, for the courtyard Shavka it is familiar - to yap on the former owner.

🇬🇧 The nation is becoming increasingly starved of physical intimacy but, for many trying to start a family, that’s not something to worry about
“Modern life has taken the joy out of it and there are too many other things like emails and work competing for our attention,” notes Prof Allan Pacey at the University of Sheffield. “Couples that I see now have very different expectations of what a healthy sex life is.”
So-called Silicon Valley tech bros, meanwhile, are taking the idea even further, suggesting the idea that “sex is for recreation; science for procreation”. Hank Greely, director of Stanford Law School’s Center for Law and the Biosciences, has predicted that we’ll have stopped having sex to make babies within the next 30 years, instead picking from a petri dish of embryos created in a lab, using a couple’s DNA.
The reasons for this are complicated and go beyond a lack of time. Financial worries, Netflix, social media, technology in the bedroom and longer working hours are all contributing factors that didn’t impact our parents or grandparents generations.

🇫🇮🤝✧🌍 — 🇺🇸 CNN (May 15, 2022): Finland will apply to join NATO, leaders say, ditching decades of neutrality despite Russia's threats of retaliation
— "Finland's government announced Sunday it will apply to join NATO, ditching decades of wartime neutrality and ignoring Russian threats of possible retaliation as the Nordic country attempts to strengthen its security following the onset of the war in Ukraine.
The decision was announced at a joint press conference on Sunday with President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who said the move must be ratified by the country's parliament before Finland can formally apply for membership with NATO.
The move would bring the US-led military alliance up to Finland's 830-mile border with Russia, but could take months to finalize as legislatures of all 30 current members must approve new applicants."

MILWAUKEE — Nearly two dozen people were injured in two shootings late Friday in Milwaukee's downtown bar district after the Milwaukee Bucks playoff game, which drew thousands of people to the Deer District.
Seventeen people were injured in a shooting shortly after 11 p.m. Friday just two hours after and blocks away from an earlier shooting that wounded three people, including a 16-year-old girl.

Additional context from an article back in March:
ROME — One problem with media coverage of global affairs is that many reporters and pundits don’t “speak religion,” which means it’s often easy for them to miss the significance of the religious subtext to whatever drama happens to be playing out.
Such is the case in Ukraine, with reporters often overplaying whatever Pope Francis says or doesn’t say about Vladimir Putin’s war, but sometimes vastly underplaying the significance of what he does or doesn’t do.
One day after the Vatican announcement, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, spiritual leader of the world’s roughly 110 million Russian Orthodox, published his own Marian initiative, calling on his followers to pray for peace during Lent to Mary as the “Theotokos,” usually rendered into English as “Mother of God.”
(A friend and colleague in the Vatican press corps actually anticipated this, saying immediately after the Vatican announcement that Patriarch Kirill could perform his own rival consecration praying for the conversion of NATO. Given that Patriarch Kirill has increasingly been issuing pro-Putin statements, I joked that maybe he could get Syria, Serbia, and other Kremlin allies to join in, and we could call it the “Pan-Pariah Synod.”)
Pope Francis’ decision came in response to a request from the Latin-rite bishops of Ukraine, posted on their website March 2.
“We humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fátima,” the bishops wrote.

We're commenting on an ongoing inter-channel dialogue on the topic of Liberalism in America started by @CIG_Telegram. Our thoughts on the topic relating to South Africa's future:
The post-1994 government of South Africa has primarily been regarded as Western-friendly to this day. However, recent developments in the international geopolitical sphere, mainly regarding the war in Ukraine, left political commentators second-guessing the country’s allegiance.
Both Western and Eastern blocs used their power and influence to end the previous South African Republic’s government reign and to install a new pro-democracy era. The West, particularly the United States with allies in Europe, sanctioned South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia). The East, particularly the Soviet Union, trained and supplied separatist groups throughout central and southern Africa. Their combined efforts (despite operating from opposing fronts) culminated in harsh Western sanctions on South Africa while it was fighting a war in Southern Africa against the spread of communism via Soviet-backed groups.
Post-colonial Africa saw a situation similar to the Berlin Conference of 1884, this time, however, there would be no new borders drawn, but instead, spheres of influence were manifested.
Ultimately, Western powers were the immediate favourites and pushed their liberal foreign policy to strengthen political and diplomatic ties, but now after several decades. African countries are turning their backs on the west and looking east to old friends: particularly Russia and China.
The South African government, run by the biggest political party, the African National Congress (ANC) has done the same.
Despite the ANC being a Western-approved government, it chose not to condemn Russia and subsequently abstained to vote against Russia in three recent United Nations General Assembly Resolutions. This might be surprising to Western media and its leaders – who immediately pleaded with the government to reconsider its stance – but they are choosing to forget the ANC’s ties to the Soviet Union throughout the second half of the 20th century.
The second-biggest political party in South Africa, the liberal Democratic Alliance (DA), saw this opportunity and used it immediately:
They pledged support to Western-backed Ukraine so that they can receive approval or appraisal from those same Western countries. The DA controlled City of Cape Town pledged its support for “peace in Ukraine”. This was not without merit, as shortly thereafter at another UN council, the United States Ambassador thanked Cape Town for its support of a peaceful resolution. It's not necessary to read between the lines to notice the influence of American foreign policy with this nod of approval.
South Africa's 2024 National Elections is around the corner and it will be an unorthodox election: for the first time since 1994, the ANC's national support has declined to such an extent that the party is at risk of losing its majority support status. The DA has been steadily increasing its support, but have unable to govern on a national level.
The outcome of the situation in Ukraine will directly affect South Africa's future. South Africa's next government (whether it's ANC again or DA) will either be punished or praised depending on how they aligned themselves with the outcomes of the situation in Ukraine.

New cross-channel discussion: Liberalism in America
"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand"
As discussed by our colleagues at the CIG, it is clear that at this point everyone here knows about how American society (topic of current discussion) has become polarized in recent years, thus necessitating external common enemies (Islamic Fundamentalism, Russia, China, Iran, etc) to maintain its social cohesion and unity via Expeditionary wars and meddling on foreign affairs alien to US itself
However, a little debated point is:
— And when such social cohesion is no longer possible to sustain in such a way?
For decades, the point of American liberalism (whether Conservative or Democratic) has promoted the idea that the US would be the "Shining City on a Hill", as President Ronald Reagan would say in his 1989 Farewell Address. id est, the "last bastion of Economic Freedom and Individual Liberties", the Safeguard of the so-called Free World, the last place where tyranny and oppression would manifest themselves or at least where they would have the greatest focus of resistance against a possible implantation
Howsoever, step by step, gradually and slowly, such "tyranny" or at least measures that would lead to End-games considered as Tyrannical and oppressive by American Citizens attached to Pre-Empire American Values (Something that deserves another thread of discussion), as well as provocations towards them, manifest themselves today, even more so now, under the Joe Biden's Liberal Administration
Such measures can be listed as:
The growing lobby in favor of gun control was strengthened, mainly by fears of the American Socio-Political Establishment focused on the so-called "Ghost Guns", the weapons made with 3D printers, calling such measures as merely "common sense", that easily could be expanded for actual "gun grabbing":
— 1 2 3 4
Surveillance and use of State Means to suppress civil society groups deemed harmless by the common population, such as conservative parent groups for simple opposing Mask Laws inside Schools:
— 1 2
Eradication of civil liberties and expression of dissidents from the Right-Wing from possible public-virtual environment under the prerogative of fighting "Domestic Terrorism by Right Extremists":
— 1 2 3 4
And, more recently, the direct attack on the faith of the average American population:
— 1 2 3
Understanding that such differences between the urban Liberal Layers and the suburban and rural Conservative Layers of American society, eventually, will no longer be able to be resolved by political means (regardless of who the President is), it is possible to understand, therefore, that a period of dark and chaotic come to the fore for the Republic of Columbia, where, eventually, such provocations and suppressions by the Liberal Regime imposed on the conservative population will eventually reach a point of no return.
Such question, however, when debated, now, becomes no longer about a "What if?" but rather, a "When?"

The author of that channel believes in top-down liberal control & it's dissemination of any radical ideology.
While globohomo is liberal, it did not invent the strategy to produce these radical ideologies. Every power in history taps into fifth columns and local ethnic grievances. This is how empires contest other powers. Much of what is utilized was already present but untapped. Nothing is new under the sun, so to speak. The so-called Byzantine Empire, for example, influenced peripheral minorities along Sassanid-dynasty Persia during cold war interludes and active conflict periods. Every modern power attempts similar policies, it is simply realpolitik.
Saddam was a solid figure to keep Iraq together. Once he was weakened, tribalism came into play. Similar to centralized power and the waning of it leading to tribal conflicts throughout the history of ancient Mesopotamia. It is true that sectarian differences are not the real culprit, as Iraqi shi'ites are not pro-Iran. Even now Iraq is trying to hold itself together with a new bout of Nationalism pointed towards a common enemy like Iran. This is the case, despite common narratives that Iran still holds strong influence over Iraq.
As for, top-down control, the Peter principle is an important concept to think about here. Basically, even if you're the ruler, you aren't competent enough to micromanage everything. Even if you have a large cabinet. The truth is that control is through wide groups on every level. Middle managers. Figures of authority in your personal lives that are followed. This is real control. Even when nepotistic factions enter the upper echelons and poison wells, there are some only doing that by nature rather than by agency. They're unaware of why they fail. This is exactly how "top-down" control works. It uses a backbone of groups in layers of society.
And finally in Ukraine, Eastern Europe as a whole has natsocs everywhere and the oligarchs are all the same by country. The force at play with the war is a local ethnic grievance that has carried a grudge for generations. They do want that fight. The difference is really in timing for both sides with everyone deciding their plays wrapped around Russian demographics.

Iranian channel zadolmosafer says:
The best people who can tell us “what’s wrong with Nazism in Ukraine?”, are National Socialists themselves. This is how they describe it:[1]
“Since the occupation of Crimea, the spread of Nazism in Ukraine has been largely tolerated. But which Nazism? There are many differences between the Nazism of 1933 and the Nazism of today. I would like to present you the simplest example. The person who financed the establishment of Azov Division was Igor Kolomoyski. Kolomoyski is a Jew.”
“When we look at International National Socialism, we see that our ideology has degenerated in many areas.”
What we are witnessing in Ukraine, has the same pattern with the struggle in Middle East:
Liberals/NeoConservatives take a historic Ideology/Movement; and, with a few twists and turns, they create a “Gun for Hire” from it; to play as a pawn in their chessboard.
“Why we have Sunni and Shiʿa communities spread all over Syria/Iraq/Iran?” The reason is that they could coexist with eachother for centuries in peace. There is no fundamental differences in beliefs that can justify eternal wars. If it was the case, we did not have both sects living together in one country, and even in one community. They go to school/university together, work together, and intermarry.
But with a few idealogic twists and turns, liberals/NeoConservatives could create ISIS (Daesh), so they can wage “The New Thirty Years' War”; according to Richard Haass, head of Council on Foreign Relations.[2]
The goal was to wipe all of the Middle Eastern nations off the map, and create new ones; after the “birth pangs of a new Middle East” (as described by Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State) .
Obviously, that 30 years of war did not materialize; because there was no real religious struggle, fomenting such a war.
Although ISIS claimed that they commit “the true and pure Sunni beliefs”, it was the Sunnis who fought them most, and defeated them.
As a matter of fact, Liberalism is a fluid idealogy, which can take any shape and form. That’s why they can create a Nazi group (without believing in National Socialism, and with a jewish identity); or building an Islamic fundamentalist Takfiri group, which their only mission is “to kill muslims”.

German diplomat Christian Schmidt, head of the UN Office of the High Representative in Bosnia, had on Tuesday suspended a law passed in Republika Srpska in February, which ruled that property used by local public authorities belongs to the semi-autonomous Bosnian Serb region.
The Russian embassy, in a statement carried by local media on Wednesday, reiterated that Moscow does not recognise Schmidt and considers his moves illegitimate."

— "As war rages in Ukraine, more than a thousand miles away in Bosnia observers are warning that Russia is fanning the embers of separatism which could spell trouble for the deeply divided Balkan country.
Since the end of the war that claimed around 100,000 lives between 1992 and 1995, Bosnia has been split between a Muslim-Croat federation and a Serb entity -- known as Republika Srpska (RS).
But there are growing fears the arrangement that has kept the peace in Bosnia for decades may be at risk.
Bosnia's Serb leader Milorad Dodik -- who has made no secret about his admiration and close ties with President Vladimir Putin -- has been increasingly vocal about his secessionist aims, a move widely believed to have the backing of the Kremlin."

“The conflict in Ukraine, not so far away, is a sobering reminder that even in the 21st century, another war on European soil is not an impossibility,” he stressed."

Russia, an ally of the Bosnian Serbs and a veto-wielding Security Council member, has been critical of UN efforts in the Balkan country but reluctantly agreed in November to a one-year extension of the UN mandate for the European Union-led force.
Since then, the West's relations have deteriorated sharply with Russia which invaded Ukraine in February, and Bosnian Serb leaders have stepped up separatist language."

— "Kosovo has officially applied for membership in the Council of Europe (CoE), the continent's leading human rights organization, in an effort to seize on the recent exit of Russia.
The long-delayed application and prospect of Kosovar membership is aimed at strengthening the legal standing of the partially recognized Balkan country of around 1.9 million on the international stage.
It is also certain to anger neighboring Serbia, which doesn't recognize its former province's independence."

🇷🇺 🇵🇱 The State Duma proposed to put Poland in line for denazification
Deputy Morozov: the words of the Polish authorities encourage her to be put in line for denazification
MOSCOW, May 13 - RIA Novosti. The Polish leadership's statements about Russia "as a cancerous tumor" and about indemnities to Ukraine prompt the Russian Federation to "put it in line for denazification," said Oleg Morozov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Control.
“By its statements about Russia as a “cancer tumor” and about the “indemnity” that we must pay to Ukraine , Poland encourages us to put it in first place in the queue for denazification after Ukraine,” Morozov wrote in his Telegram channel.
Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in a Telegraph column that he considers the Russian world "a cancer that poses a mortal threat to the whole of Europe", in his opinion, it needs to be "eradicated". Also, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that Russia would be forced to pay indemnity to Ukraine.
Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass .

However, not everyone within NATO Alliance is happy with the possibility of new members on the group...
🇹🇷❌🇸🇪 — On Today, May 13, 2022, during an interview about the possibility of Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden joining the Alliance, the President of the 🇹🇷 Republic of Turkey, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that he is not in favor of the possible entry of the two Nordic countries to the Alliance, mainly 🇸🇪 Sweden.
On the interview, Mr Erdogan said Scandinavia countries have become a safe haven for terrorism
— “They are even members of the parliament in some countries,” he said. “Sweden has become a home for PKK (the Kurdish Libertarian-Socialist/Separatist Militant Group) and other terror groups. We don’t view their NATO membership positively”
As many observers noted, Sweden’s lax attitude towards PKK and also towards the "FETO", the Gulenist Movement, is well-known in the greater Turkish public opinion

🇦🇷🇨🇳 — After China's invitation to BRICS meeting, Argentina hopes to join the group
In the interview with Télam, the Argentine ambassador in Beijing said he understands the promotion by Brazil's Economy Minister Paulo Guedes of Argentina's entry into the BRICS Bank as a sign of Brasilia's support for the country's formal entry into the group.
Sabino Vaca Narvaja also spoke about the link between Argentina and China, which "has three consolidated and institutional working mechanisms," he said.
The first is the strategic dialogue for coordination and economic cooperation. Among some projects, China will contribute to the construction of Argentina's fourth nuclear power plant and will finance railroad projects, the Cerro Arauco wind farm (in the province of La Rioja) and the Caucharí photovoltaic park (in the province of Jujuy), the largest in Latin America.
The second mechanism concerns agreements to increase Argentina's exportable supply, focusing on the tariff issue and the opening of new markets.
The third mechanism is the political dialogue, which deals with multilateral issues such as China's support for the UN positions on the Falklands issue and the "one China" principle shared by the Argentine government.

New ongoing inter-channel dialogue on the topic of: Liberalism in America
"In the past, the U.S. was not shy about bringing the "light of democracy" to third countries by force. Made the population proud of its actions. Projected itself as a hegemon. But the struggle is now directed in the wrong direction. If before Islamism was a real threat to U.S. dominance, now the priorities have changed - communist-Biden, liberals, multiculturalists and others are destroying the very identity of American society. And projecting power abroad today is simply a distraction."
Liberalism in America: CIG #commentary
I think the premise of this is that the U.S. lacks a common enemy to rally against while it buckles from internal problems? Anyways, with GWOT essentially over, a new era of Great Power competition has begun. The wheels of history have restarted, so to speak, after a generational lull period defined by Francis Fukuyama's End of History.
American foreign policy is somewhat shared by Democrats fearmongering Russia and Republicans sabre rattling against China. For a simple introduction to this. Now, in the context of Biden seeking reelection, the supply crisis and economic disturbances the President basically needs a war economy in an attempt to restore prestige and prosperity. This isn't guaranteed to work, but they're putting everything into it. All the funds meant for welfare and covid were speedily recouped for the Military Industrial Complex. Because this is where the real lobbying power is in U.S. Congress, regardless of whichever socio-political narrative trending for the current news cycle.
America's internal problems could be a symptom of restructuring U.S. supply lines within North America (not a problem in itself). The issue is that, there are less Americans proportionally that understand how to achieve and implement this. Also, the issue of using migrant workers haphazardly in agricultural facilities leading to their spontaneous combustion. As for fuel prices, the U.S. needs to decouple from global gas & oil prices. The U.S. is already energy independent and a net exporter for energy. The Biden administration did not change this, contrary to Republican belief and while cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline did cause setbacks, it is not the root issue.
However, I would argue that American energy independence achieved under Trump, ran parallel to decreasing U.S. foreign troop deployments. The "sandbox" is *almost* empty now. Carrier groups patrolling the Arab Gulf are becoming rare. Despite war in Ukraine, the U.S. will downscale within Central Europe and reposition around Japan. Even so, the U.S. Military Industrial Complex has been reawakened as the domestic move towards North American regionalism, currently struggles to maintain a secure and stable economy. So there will be many new conflicts this decade. Some mix of small conflicts involving U.S. servicemen and larger state conflicts where NATO provides material assistance.
In the end, the two pronged move towards a reactivated MIC and further North American economic integration can only buy time. With each new election an increasingly polarized America instigates riots for spectacle. Current social values are impossible to sustain, the question is whether America burns down or sputters out in coming decades. That is the story of America. Just bear in mind that whatever happens to America is not exclusive to it. For most other countries they will suffer far worse fates this century.

Basically:
🇺🇸🗳🌹 — The Social-Liberal Layer of US voters, that is, those who vote for the Democratic Party and their respective internal factions (DNC, Progressives, Democratic Socialists, classical liberals, etc.) perceive Russia as an imminent threat given that they believe in the idea of that Russia allegedly collaborated with Donald Trump's election campaign to "undermine American Democracy", ignoring other fronts such as the Indo-Pacific Question or even the Middle East Question
🇺🇸🗳✝️ — The Social-Conservative Layer of US Voters, that is, those who currently vote for the Republican Party, perceive the idea of a "Russian Threat" as a "mere bluff" on the part of the American Social-Political Establishment to divert the attention of citizens from America's real problems (Inflation, Social Decay, worsening of the quality of life, etc), with many torn between the idea that the US should support its allies in Asia (Taiwan and Japan) against the True Threat (China)

While Prince Charles has been at his 96-year-old mother's side during the Opening of Parliament in the past, Tuesday was the first time he spoke on her behalf. It also marked Prince William's first time at the ceremonial event.
During the speech, Queen Elizabeth's Imperial State Crown was displayed on a red velvet cushion in between Prince Charles and Prince William. While discussing the administration's objectives and proposed future legislation, Prince Charles used the phrase "Her Majesty's government," and ended the 11-minute talk with a message from his mother.

— "The United States will face “unimaginable consequences” if it plays the Taiwan card and Beijing will not be intimidated by sanctions like those on Russia, a Chinese foreign vice-minister has said.
Le Yucheng told an online security forum on Friday evening that it was “ridiculous” to blame China for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and accused the US of sacrificing Ukraine for its own geopolitical interests.
China has been criticised for not condemning Russia’s invasion, and the US and its allies have expressed concern over the security of Taiwan, which Beijing considers a breakaway province be to reunified with the mainland – by force if necessary"

🇬🇧🌹 The Guardian | Beijing orders ‘stress test’ as fears of Russia-style sanctions mount | 4-05-22
— "Concerned about sweeping Russia-style sanctions from the west, Beijing has ordered a comprehensive “stress test” to study the implications of a similar scenario for its economy, the Guardian has learned.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, an extensive exercise began around late February and early March when western allies imposed unprecedented sanctions against Moscow. Several key Chinese government agencies – from banking regulation to international trade – have been asked to come up with responses if the west imposed the same embargos on to China.
“Those involved in this exercise use how Russia was treated as a baseline for China’s own policy response should it be treated in a same fashion by the west,” the person added. “This stress test involves a range of methodology, including modelling.”"

🚫♀️ — He is seen in ROK as an Masculinist & Anti-Feminist, being framed as the "Candidate of Incels", promising to “Abolish the Gender Equality Ministry”, something that could be compared to Trump’s “Build the Wall”, of the Moon's Liberal Government that promoted Radical-Feminist ideologies into 🇰🇷 ROK society
🚫♀️ — Yoon blames the later point, the spread of Feminism in South Korean society, for the Low birthrates in ROK, which angered (a lot) the so-called "K-Pop" fans in South Korea
💰📈 — Yoon has a kind of Laissez-faire Economic policy, which attracted the support from ROK Libertarians
🇰🇷🪖 — Yoon, despite having participated in the Gwangju Uprising, expressed favorable views on the Government of the "Far-Right" Military Strongman, General Chun Doo-hwan that ruled ROK from 1980 to 1988 via a military coup
🚫🇨🇳 — He is overtly Anti-China, to such extent South Korean liberals call him an "Extreme anti-chinese Racist" & "Xenophobic"
🚫🇰🇵 — Yoon has a Belligerent Policy towards DPRK (North Korea), more than any Candidate since the ROK Military Juntas of Cold War
🇰🇷☢ — Yoon is in Explicitly in favor of deploying Tactical Nuclear Weapons in South Korea/ROK to counter the Nuclear weapons of DPRK (North Korea)
🇰🇷🚀 — He vowed to get as much as possible THAAD systems from US to counter the "DPRK Threat", something that many South Korean liberals see as "dangerous to the policy of unification of Korea"
🇰🇷🇯🇵 — Unlike the South Korean Liberals, Yoon and his faction have a Pro-Japanase stance and shares Japan views on 🇰🇵 DPRK and 🇨🇳 China

🇵🇭🗳⚠️ — Today, May 9, 2022, the Philippine Nation went to the polls to decide the future of their country, during the Presidential elections that are taking place there today.
As expected, the son of Former Philippine Strong Leader Ferdinand Marcos, who ruled the Philippines with an iron fist from 1965 to 1986, Mr. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., who led the polls, is technically already elected president of the country.
Mr. "Bongbong" despite being a candidate more to the right than the Liberal Candidate, Ms. Leni Robredo, is avidly Pro-China (PRC), as he technically cannot set foot in the US because of the Washington Regime's arrest warrants against him.
Philippines Elections, 80% counted:

Robredo (Ind., Liberal):
— 28.3%

The secretary of the Italian Democratic Party, has said that Ukraine should be the first country to enter the EU "the first day" after the war ends. "The EU must assume the leadership status and forget about the idea that everything should be directed and organised by the Americans" said Enrico Letta.
Ukraine has applied last March to join the EU but the application is currently being processed and to join the EU Ukraine must get the unanimous approval of the 27 member states. To circumvent these obstacles, former Italian Prime-Minister, Enrico Letta proposed the "urgent" creation of a European Confederation to quickly include Ukraine and the other european non-EU member states into the EU family.

Monday, at Strasburg, French President Emmanuel Macron called for the creation of a new European Community to bypass the "decades" it will take Ukraine to adhere to the European Union.
In his first speech after his reelection, Macron said he's open to a proposal from the European Parliament which sees a revision of the treaties which make up the European Union, to better improve the efficiency of the european institutions during peacetime and during times of crisis.
13 out of the 27 EU member states are opposed to the proposal. Macron recognised the "divergent" opinions of the member states and a summit will be held in June to better discuss this matter.
During his speech Macron has stated that Ukraine already is "a core member of our union". He would also add about the new political organisation envisioned that: "This new organisation will permit the entry of european democratic countries which adhere to our values, to find a place among us and start better cooperating in politics and security. "

🏳 The Vice and Virtue Ministry unveiled a draft law on Hijab on Saturday which has been approved and implemented by the Supreme leader Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Amir Al-Momineen.
In this depiction, any garment covering the body of a woman is considered a hijab, provided that it is not too tight to represent the body parts nor is it thin enough to reveal the body.
Says Minister Khalid that the burka is the best type of Hijab “as it is part of Afghan culture and it has been used for ages.”
According to the government’s plan on women’s hijab, in the first phase, the media, and preachers will talk about the rules, importance, and virtue of the Hijab as well as the drawbacks of not wearing a Hijab.
In the second phase, the house of the unveiled woman will be targeted and her guardian will be advised and disciplined.

🏳 The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan announced a decree which orders afghan women, even those in Kabul to cover themselves from head to toe in public, according to a statement from the General Directorate of Administrative Affairs.
The ruling was delayed for a while to maybe sway the western sanctions away, but as Taliban sees no hope of sanctions being lifted, they are paving towards the more traditional laws which are considered extreme for western eyes. Most taliban factions who wanted to show a "new taliban" image are fed up as it is leading to nothing. For that reason the so-called "extreme factions" inside taliban are winning.

🇷🇴 🇺🇦 Romania Black Sea port becoming Ukrainian export hub
Russia's blockade of Ukraine's seaports has forced the country's exporters to look for alternatives to move their precious cargo.
So now the country's grain is loaded onto trains, lorries or barges in the small Danube ports of Reni and Izmail in the southwest, for transport to the Romanian port.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has transformed Constanta into a vital maritime export hub for Ukraine's crops.
Before the war, Ukraine exported 4.5 million tonnes of agricultural produce per month through its ports -– 12 percent of the world's wheat, 15 percent of its corn and 50 percent of its sunflower oil.
"We need to make sure the grain gets to consumers' tables without delay to avoid the risk of famine," said Viorel Panait, chief executive of Comvex, which handles Constanta's bulk raw materials.
"We hope to accelerate the pace... because, given the unfortunate situation that our Ukrainian neighbours are going through, we must help them as much as we can," he told AFP.
Neighbouring Bulgaria said this week it was willing to help export Ukrainian grain from its Black Sea port of Varna -- and is getting to work upgrading its infrastructure.

On the topic of the upcoming American protests:
Will there be violence? It depends which political faction is mobilized. Racial tensions heavily stoked the flames for years. It almost requires the BLM for a protest to become a riot in the first place these days. However, this may be a new era spurred by the need to rally supporters behind a cause that the liberal populace hasn't lost faith with yet. In my opinion, the BLM is an old tool that served their purpose. They have become too controversial and will either be discarded or be "put on the ice" for a few years, as this was the case before.
Could this current coalition of feminist groups become violent? Possibly. For starters, this is the perfect time of year to build up momentum for far-reaching protests. In April of 2021 there was an attempt to rekindle the riots of 2020, which had occurred primarily in late may, early June. Those protests focused on students about to leave school for summer break, before mostly finishing once the school year was back in session. To be honest, these abortion protests are not as racially charged as the releasing of police body cam videos that fed into race riots. Most violence will be committed by whichever way they decide to deploy Antifa into the streets.
We may also see more daylight brawls instead of nighttime looting with the presumed demographic switchup. In any case we'll see whether or not this new protest season will hold lingering political atmosphere consequences comparable to the Occupy Wall Street outcome. The name of the game for this round is civil religion, so there will be far more involvement from populations with high civic engagement, i.e., white liberal voters. Basically, secular-progressive law worshippers and you-know-who.

A number of American non-profit, advocacy and feminist organizations (Planned Parenthood, UltraViolet, Women's March and MoveOn) have formed a coalition that plans to organize major protests across the United States on May 14th.
The key cities where it is planned to gather the most people have been selected:
▪️New York;
▪️Chicago;
▪️Washington;
▪️Los Angeles.
Coalition leaders assume that in the above settlements the number of demonstrators will number hundreds of thousands of people.
The authorities are afraid and preparing: on May 4, a 2.5-meter fence was installed around the building of the Supreme Court in Washington."

🇺🇸❌🇧🇷 — American interference in Brazilian elections: Why does it matter? (2/2)
However, excluding the influence of the USA and Soros on Lula's Vice-Candidate, what can be born of an eventual victory for the Left is, without a shadow of a doubt, as said before, the beginning of the implementation of what would be the dream of all Bolivarianism and the nightmare of all Ibero-American nationalist:
— Patria Grande Project
Since the beginning of his electoral campaign, the Presidential Candidate of the Brazilian Republic, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, has often talked about his plan to create a currency that will replace the national currencies of all countries on the continent, just as the Euro had done under the European Union entity.
Such idea, if made, could be and probably will be, the first step for something bigger, something often called as "Patria Grande" or even jokingly as "URSAL":
— The unification of Iberian America under a single socialist, pan-american, federalized Republic

🇷🇴 ⚔ Accord signed between ROMARM, Electromecanica and Raytheon Missiles & Defense for the manufacture of SkyCeptor missiles in Romania
Romanian authorities signed Wednesday at Ploiești an accord between the 2 state-owned companies, ROMARM and Electromecanica S.A. and Raytheon, the accord attesting that Raytheon will soon start the manufacture of the SkyCeptor interceptor missiles made for intercepting incoming cruise and ballistic missiles.
"This accord is the first step in the development of a long-term strategic partnership between Electromecanica S.A., ROMARM and Raytheon" said Economy Minister, Florin Spătaru. He also added that Romania is ready to allocate large funds to both of the state-owned companies so production will began as soon as possible. "We hope to be able to make Romania a supplier of such technology for the national market and the international markets. We cannot discuss the sale of these rockets to Ukraine momentarily because certain steps need to be taken for such purchases to happen" added the minister.
Defense Minister, Vasile Dîncu, also participated at the meeting and would add on the statements of his colleague saying that he hopes that Romania and the Romanian government will be able to sign even more deals like this one to further Romania's defense abilities and make the armaments industry a big player in the Romanian economy.
The SkyCeptor missiles are compatible with the MIM-104 Patriot Surface-to-Air Missile system. Romania has received it's first Patriot SAM system back in 2020 and 6 more are waiting to be delivered.

It's worth noting that Brazilian food production is directly linked to the food security of the People's Republic of China, Brazil's current largest financial partner, and self-declared enemy #1 of the Hungarian billionaire, as well as the Washington Regime.
Therefore, boycotting such is, directly or indirectly, attacking a key and important ally of China in South America

Burns was, and remains, the most senior U.S. official to meet in Brasilia with Bolsonaro's right-wing government since the election of U.S. President Joe Biden.
A third person in Washington familiar with the matter confirmed that a delegation led by Burns had told top Bolsonaro aides the president should stop undermining confidence in Brazil's voting system. That source was not certain whether the CIA director himself had voiced the message"

🇫🇮 🇬🇧 British Defense Minister Ben Wallace arrived at the Arrow 22 military exercise site. Among the participants are Finland, Great Britain, Estonia, Latvia and the United States.
During a joint press conference with the Minister of Defense of Finland, Wallace said that if the country joins NATO, it will receive support from the UK. The question of security guarantees for the period between the filing of the application and its ratification by the members of the alliance remained essentially unanswered. The British are not ready to talk about any specific measures of protection, but Wallace promised to "do everything possible" for the security of Northern Europe.

French-language channel @actualiteFR:
Moldova is giving itself the legislative opportunity to involve the EU to protect its border. This provision had been in the process of being put in place since March.
https://t.me/CIG_telegram/18896
Note that Moldova considers a strip of territory lying east of the Dniester (called "Transnistria") to belong to it. This territory is currently protected by Russian forces. If the EU intervenes, this territorial dispute can expose to serious consequences.
For example, the EU could mandate Romania to respond to Moldovan requests. In the end, all this only goes in the direction of what we were saying on April 29th.

🇲🇩 🇪🇺 Moldova signed a law allowing foreign security forces to protect the state border of Moldova
"Foreign officers will protect the state border of the Republic of Moldova with the possibility of using service weapons, special means of protection, as well as physical force."
The bill was signed by Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilitsa, Minister of Internal Affairs and Justice.
"According to the provisions of the Agreement" joint operation "means an action coordinated or organized by FRONTEX to support the national authority of the Republic of Moldova responsible for border control, which aims to address challenges such as illegal immigration, current or future threats at Moldova's borders or cross-border crime, or aimed at providing increased technical and operational assistance for the control of those borders. At the same time, there was a need to adapt the national regulatory framework to allow the use by FRONTEX representatives of service weapons, special equipment, and physical force. In addition, the necessary conditions for the legalization of their stay during the joint operation shall be created ",
This comes after an accord was signed betweeen FRONTEXT (EU Border protection) and Moldova's State Border Guards, last March.

🇺🇸⚖️ — On today, May 2, 2022, in a major Victory for the American Pro-Life movement, a draft opinion from Supreme Court of United States, somehow, got leaked. where the Judges appear to be in favor of repealling the so-called "Constitutionally guaranteed Abortion rights"
🇺🇸⚖️🗳 — 🇺🇸 Politico: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
— "The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes."

⚖ SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito in an initial draft majority opinion:
“The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions. On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.”

"Transnistria unilaterally blocks all outside access inside the region, even for foreign diplomatic missions and reinforces their posts"
>Transnistria blocks all outside access for foreign diplomatic mission inside their "Zone of Security" [which covers 60% of the territory of the separatist republic] and has fortified all military checkpoints and posts.
They have also sent letters announcing all foreign diplomatic missions stationed in Chisinău, that their access was going to be restricted inside the separatist republic, not just the Zone of Security.
>"This development confirms, once again, the breaking of the Accord reached in July 1992 related to the peacekeeping operations by the Transnistrian side" said the Moldavian Delegation of the Joint Control Commission
> The JCC has the role to maintain the trilateral peace inside the Zone of Security and it is composed of Russian, Moldavian and Transnistrian peacekeepers and 10 Ukrainian observers.
> The Moldavian delegation has said that restricting access across the region is one part of the "many provocations intentionally created over the past week by the administration in Tiraspol, with the purpose of destabilising the region, and this decision violates the clauses of the peacekeeping operation."
> Chișinău has notified Tiraspol to abandon these "destructive and excessive measures that ignore the format and purpose of the peacekeeping operation"
> Vice-prime Minister for Reintegration, Oleg Serebrian and presidential councillor Dorin Recean met with the separatist leader Vadim Krasnoselskiy for the first time after the explosions occurred inside Transnistria, Thursday, at Varnița.
>After the meeting, Oleg Serebrian said, on the national television, that the explosions produced minor damages and that there should not be any reason for Moldova to be worried.
> "The explosions produced minor damages and had no casualties. Nobody has claimed these so-called terrorist attacks and this raises questions. When you commit a terror attack, first of all, you claim responsibility. The damages were minor but the real effect was psychological. Panic was created inside the region and at the border checkpoints. Inside Moldova this panic does not exist." said Oleg Serebrian. He also would go on to say that there is no military threat inside Transnistria and that the administration in Tiraspol has exaggerated with the measures.
> "The code red that was instituted is worrying because we don't see any reason to believe that a real danger exists. We consider that there is no military threat to Transnistria in the region. Those explosions did not have an effect over the psychological state of the population and to go on and say that there are risks that the Republic of Moldova could be dragged into a military conflict is a long way ahead. The risk is not negligible but, unlike Ukraine, we have not been warned about the imminent threat of war." said Vice-prime minister Serebrian.
