๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Vladimir Putin: "A year ago, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Western authorities were twisting the arms of their companies and compelled some of them, many of them to leave the ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russian market. At that time, foreign analysts predicted a depression and a decline in the consumer sector for us. They promised us empty shelves in shops. Massive shortages of goods and the collapse of the services sector.

However, life took a different turn. Now the Western countries themselves have faced these problems in full measure. It got to the point where their leaders suggested that their citizens eat turnips instead of lettuce and tomatoes. Turnips are good produce, but to get them, they will have to come to us because our harvest is much bigger than that of our neighbours in Europe.


True, this may not be their fault. They had a drought and the like, but they can hardly do without our fertilisers if they want to increase their crop yields. At any rate, this calls to mind a Russian proverb: โ€œHe who digs a pit for others falls in himself.โ€ It seems that this is exactly what is happening."

solar military drones are in testing now. uk,us, China are all testing them. imagine a drone that can stay in the air forever or for months without landing, and flying at 70000 thousand feet altitude up. why? because it doesn't fly with fuel, no engine oil, no pilot. solar panels cover the entire wing of the drone, electric motor props,plus it's batteries means it doesn't need to land, just charge at day with sun, then fly with the charge at night, vice versa. truely dangerous times ahead. uk version called phasa 35. us version zephyr. China version called qimingxing 50. nato allies will order, I'm sure Russia will order theirs from China too. imagine us solar flying throughout the year near the south China Sea and near Russia spying. the same way imagine Russia sending one to fly yearly throughout usa coastal regions spying, or nonstop near nato borders too. it's gonna get hot real soon. and guess what, they're cheap and can be mass produced in thousands

They can only be for reconnaissance mission they can't carry payload I'd ammunition

Even if they can the ammunition will be limited lets say 4 small missiles and they will return to base so it doesn't make much sense only for espionage

And why deploy drone when I can get it seen in my radar ...I will rather do sat navigation and zoom to any area that I want

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Donald Trump: "We need peace without delay. There must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neocon establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom...

We have to finish the process of fundamentally reevaluating NATO's purpose and mission. Our foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict with a nuclear-armed ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia based on the lie that Russia represents our greatest threat.

But the greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia. It's probably, more than anything else, ourselves... these globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood and treasure chasing monsters and phantoms overseas while keeping us distracted from the havoc they're creating right here at home."

At a local business gathering, Widodo emphasized that "everyone [in Indonesia] should be able to use" Indonesian-manufactured credit cards so that "we can be independent," as he explained that the aim is to avoid risking transactions in case of a geopolitical disruption that could economically affect the country.

"Be very careful. We must remember the sanctions imposed by the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US on ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia. Visa and Mastercard could be a problem," he warned.

Democrats and Republicans are useful tools to keep the US divided.
US (the West generally) is indeed in decline...much more rapidly than it should.
A nation divided amongst itself cannot rise. The major beneficiaries of the chaos/division in the US is China/Russia and off course, the majority of the world's population that has for years lived under the yoke of Western neocolonialsts imperialism.
