⚡ Russian President Vladimir Putin named a group of low-level officials to represent his government at talks with Ukraine in Turkey, and gave no indication that he planned to the negotiations. In a decree issued late Wednesday in Moscow, Putin appointed presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation that also includes Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin, and Igor Kostyukov, head of military intelligence. A group of four other officials were named as “experts.” 3 Likes |

LordAdam16: Brother, have you read an excerpt of the speech Trump gave at the meeting with Satan Arabia? I don't know if I'm dreaming or not. It's quite revealing. For the first time, the US foreign policy read anti-interventionism and openly itted that unipolarism as spearheaded by America since the end of the cold war was wrong. Then it goes on to canvass for a new multipolar world order, one in which no single nation would dictate to others how to run things. Unbelievable!!! First, it was Rubio's astonishing words on the same issue: ....And I think that was lost at the end of the Cold War, because we were the only power in the world, and so we assumed this responsibility of sort of becoming the global government in many cases, trying to solve every problem. And there are terrible things happening in the world. There are. And then there are things that are terrible that impact our national interest directly, and we need to prioritize those again. So it’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was not – that was an anomaly. It was a product of the end of the Cold War, but eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi-great powers in different parts of the planet. We face that now with China and to some extent Russia, and then you have rogue states like Iran and North Korea you have to deal with. Now Trump....Here is a part of the speech: Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos, where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence. We don’t want that. (Applause) And it’s crucial for the wider world to note this great transformation has not come from Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neocons, or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabul, Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies in your own way. It’s really incredible what you’ve done. In the end, the so-called nation-builders wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves. They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly. (Applause) And it’s something only you could do. You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way. That’s a good way. (Applause) Going by this new US foreign policy shift, Netanyahoo should be having sleepless nights right now. No wonder he is talking about weaning Israel's security off America's . Interesting times ahead. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

seunny4lif: It's a game of try and see being played by some stupid NATO countries in the name of trying to stop Russian shadow ships moving oil for Russia and bying western sanctions. Few weeks ago, a German and Danish naval ships attempted to hijack a foreign ship suspected of carrying Russian oil. Well, the Russians sent in a Corvette which fired warning shots at the NATO ships and locked on to the German ship. The bullies got the message and they ran away from the showdown, allowing the Russian oil-carrying ship to sail on its usual course. ![]() If care is not taking, one of these days, one of those local government cum countries in NATO would push more than they can swallow and give Russia a legitimate reason to sink their entire naval force, and if they're hoping the US would come to their aid, well. I have a sea to sell them. It's then they will realize that article 5 of NATO only exist on paper when a giant like Russia is involved. I just they look them dey laugh. ![]() 13 Likes 2 Shares |

⚡‘We gave everything we had’ – Macron explained to the Ukrainians that it would be better not to expect new arms deliveries. Journalist: ‘And look, these are not the words of a journalist, these are the words of a Ukrainian soldier. He has been fighting on the front line, in a trench, for several months now – just 3 kilometers from Zaporizhia, not far from the front line. And what he says is addressed to you, listen.’ Ukrainian soldier: ‘We, the military, are exhausted. We are in dire need of material aid from our allies. The Russians can only be driven out of here by force.’ Journalist: ‘He is not asking for French soldiers. He says: ‘Give us money, give us weapons, German tanks, more French guns.’ Macron: ‘We have been doing this since day one. But they think it is not enough. And he is in a position to appreciate it. I have great iration for the Ukrainian soldiers, but we cannot give away what we do not have. And we also cannot lose everything we need for our own security. We have given everything we could. We have tripled production. Everything we produce this year is sent to Ukraine. We have even bought back weapons previously sold to other countries to send them to Ukraine. So we have done the maximum possible.’ https://x.com/Zlatti_71/status/1922578248787001423 4 Likes |

⚡Russian forces have achieved another localised breakthrough in the Kostyantynivka direction. They were able to break through for over 5.4km, completing the capture of Oleksandropil and entrenching on the western approaches to Zorya. Ukrainian forces are about to be encircled in the salient to the south, and have reportedly already begun the withdrawal process, pulling out of the sub-salient between Kalynove and Valentynivka. 5 Likes 1 Share |

dermmy: Do you know the meaning of the word stealth?? No aircraft is invisible to radar, the "stealth" here means it radar signature has been reduced drastically An F.35 may be invisible to radar at some point, but that few seconds she opens her weapons bay to drop bombs, she loses any form of invisibility An F35 carrying external bombs and rockets on its wings can't maintain it's invisibility. P.S The US and Israel are using her newest toys to engage targets unlike your Russian Su-57 which has failed to even engage targets in Ukrainian airspace. |

Appleyard:This transformation stands as a powerful testament to what is possible when regional leaders prioritize self-determination over dependency. It reflects the enduring strength of cultural identity, the promise of economic cooperation, and the resilience of people shaping their own destinies. The Middle East’s progress is not imported—it is homegrown, rooted in vision, heritage, and unwavering resolve. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

Allthelight: 10 years of hearing Russia will attack those "local government countries" yet Russia hasn't done a pin. Those Baltic states aka "local government countries" have sent weapons, funded military sales that are killing Russian soldiers till tomorrow. What has the bear done??. Article 5 won't work against Russia!! That's cute, what's stopping Putin's from triggering it??.. Putin had many red lines crossed by the US and NATO member countries, what stopped Putin from escalating??. You are struggling with Ukraine, You wanna take on a US led NATO, tales by moonlight.

Don't stop your enemies when they are making mistakes. Attacking those chihuahuas will be a costly endeavour that will distract Russia from the main goal of weakening NATO via attrition. Eastern Ukraine is already the burial ground of Western weapons, no need to extend he battlefield further except completely necessary. BTW, NATO forces are also dying in Ukraine. obedience4: 7 Likes 1 Share |

⚡Russian fighter jet violated NATO territory, Estonian PM said. Russia sent a fighter jet "to check the situation" as Estonia was attempting to detain a Russian shadow fleet tanker. The fighter jet violated NATO territory for about one minute. The situation is very serious. |

WritterNg: So, after all the noisemaking, all Estonia could do is to complain. I was thinking they would've sent their own jets to try to shoot down the Russian one. But nope, after all the gra gra and noisemaking, the best they can do is to complain online. What animal is small, all noise, and no action? Well, I know. It is a Chihuahua dog 😂 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Bigsam99: Funny dude, here you spinning up narratives. It seems you know more than Putin when he was threatening those baltic states and the entire Nato bloc with nukes, Stop peddling lies mate, the conclusion of the whole matter is simple, Russia can't and won't risk attacking a member of the biggest defence alliance in the world, who amongst its ranks is the biggest military in the world, the USA. Putin had many red lines that were crossed. He simply chicken out like the caitiff he is. Russia is weakening NATO??, what kind of fuckery is this?? Russia provocations have strengthened the alliance, Russia aggression in Ukraine has more all less underpinned the US stance that European nations should be willing to spend more defence, and pull thier weight. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Nato has indeed gotten bigger with the addition of Sweden and Finland, especially Finland who share borders with Russia, thereby bringing Nato closer to Russia. NATO is deploying more troops, equipment, and plans to cite more military bases in countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Romania , the US now have a permanent military base in Poland, she has implemented more enhanced air patrols, also created and deployed 49 more combat brigades to deter Russian aggression in Europe, This increase brings the total number of NATO combat brigades to 131, a significant increase from the previous 82. Not only that, the war in Ukraine serves as a dress rehearsal for a potential conflict with russia in the future, Nato weapons are getting the baptism of fire in Ukraine, and Ukraine has become a testing ground for Nato weapons against Russia. Russia is weakening the Nato alliance. What a cliche?? An alliance whose member countries just recently pledge to increase their defence, spending from 2 per cent to 5 per cent of their GPD, keep wallowing in your pool of ignorance. Nato forces are dying in Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

Only less than 30 percent of the world is in NATO. What do you think the rest of the world is doing? The world is changing gradually and countries that couldn't look US in the face decades ago can now call its bluff alongside its western stooges. Let NATO remain rooted in its ironclad ancient alliances whilst Russia, China, India forge new alliances that will determine the new world. Check out how fast economies are growing today. Russia doesn't need Europe anymore, there is a large and growing market to the East and the sanctions opened their eyes to it. Meanwhile, Estonia has been shouting that a Russian jet violated its airspace briefly. I am wondering why NATO didn't shoot down that Russian plane. obedience4: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Bigsam99: AS expected jumping from pillar to post, I never said anything about the world revolving around Nato, I only seek to counter the false narratives of Nato being weakened, that I have done. Look mate I don't give a damm about your fantasy of forging a new world, China and India are both in BRICS, yet China and Russia couldn't even muster a simple ceasefire aggrement between india a BRICS member and Pakistan a China ally, The US had to intervene, Russia is negotiating the end of a major war in Europe, where is China? Guess who is the major player bringing the war to an end, A war happening thousands miles off the US coast?? The US of A. how far the most talked about BRICS currency?? the currency that was primed to challenge the "green back" dominace?? the US just signed a major deal with the same Saudi Arabia that was to necessitate the decline of the US dollar monopoly in the petrol market, let me guess the transaction was done in Naira abi?? Good luck, mate, in your forging of a new world. I wish you all the best. If countries shoot down jets breaching their airspace all the time, Jets will be falling out the skies like biscuits, They are mostly intercepted and escorted out of the Air Defense Identification Zone. These are normal military routines, especially in PEACE TIMES" these practices are done to check out each countries reaction time, the two most formidable airforces in the world the US and China do it all the time, especially in the south China sea. Why does Russia seem to only target the baltic states when it tries to flex it muscles?? The last time they tried it a formidable foe during "WAR TIME" in Syria. A Russian jet was blown out of the sky by NATO memebr Turkey. |
