⚡“What the United States is proposing is, 'The U.S take a loan, Europe takes all the risk, Europe pay the interest, and the U.S use the money for a US-Ukraine fund,'” said one senior European diplomat.

“We might be stupid but we’re not that stupid.”

A major rift has emerged between the U.S. and European governments over a plan to secure a massive loan for Ukraine ― leaving negotiations to run past this week's G7 summit and perilously close to the U.S. election.

⚡Argentina's President Javier Milei has approved a plan to send five Dassault Super-Étendard combat aircraft to Ukraine.

This decision involves negotiating with France, the US, and NATO to bypass the British embargo preventing the use of these aircraft due to the Falklands War.

The plan includes a potential swap with France, exchanging the Super Etendards for military equipment like drones or helicopters, with France handling the necessary upgrades to the aircraft.

There's literally no country on earth that the US hasn't bought weapons from to hand it to Ukraine.

Even Iranian and Indian artillery shells have somehow found its way to Ukranian troops.


Tens of Thousands of Chinese DJI drones have been bought for Ukraine, you don't see Russia complaining to China.


Russia is indeed the world's number 1 military power.


The US would NEVER survive such.
20,000 sanctions plus 50 equally powerful countries against it. NEVER!

⚡Russia might be storing up to 100 nuclear warheads in Kaliningrad Oblast, located approximately 260 km (160 miles) from Warsaw, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski claimed on June 11, during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin.

This statement coincides with Russia's commencement of the second phase of exercises simulating the launch of tactical nuclear weapons on the same day, with Belarus announcing its participation a day earlier.

Kaliningrad Oblast borders two NATO members: Poland to the south and Lithuania to the north and east. Sikorski highlighted Poland's proximity to Belarus, a key Moscow ally that reportedly hosts Russian tactical nuclear arms.

"This means that an attack on the European Union is quite likely," Sikorsky said.

The EU and other countries keep signing weapons deals with the US with not a single weapon delivered.


Some are even scheduled for delivery in 2035 🤯 Is that even life? It seems like the jazz the US uses on some countries is really strong.


Poland, South Korea, Bulgaria, Croatia and a few others have all recently "bought" weapons from the US.... on paper. Non have been delivered and there are no plans to deliver until at least a decade.


Some (Poland) are still waiting for loans from the US to buy weapons from the same US. WTF!


Just look how they're sharing a few Patriot air defense systems amongst themselves like it's groundnut. Pathetic!


In their tiny minds, they're gaining more weapons buyers than Russia. Or at least they want to appear so.. Lmaoo 😂 🤣

⚡China built 10 missile cruisers in 48 months, packing 1,120 missiles.

In just four years, the Chinese defense industry managed to build and launch ten advanced Type 055 missile cruisers. Each of these formidable ships boasts 112 anti-ship or anti-aircraft missiles, housed in vertical launch cells.

To put this into perspective, China launched its first Type 055 missile cruiser in January 2020. By April 2023, China had already launched the eighth ship of this project. That’s an impressive average of 2-3 missile cruisers per year.

What’s even more remarkable is that this rapid construction pace hasn’t slowed down the production of other ships. Take the Type 054 frigates, for example—these are being built simultaneously in two large shipyards located in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

⚡US soldier more likely to die by suicide than in combat.

Based on a Pentagon study for the period 2014-2019, U.S. soldiers were nearly nine times more likely to die by suicide than by enemy fire in combat.

The study found that suicide was the leading cause of death among active-duty soldiers during that period, with 883 suicide deaths compared to 96 combat deaths.

⚡VLADIMIR PUTIN:

"What are the US financial authorities up to now?

My colleagues and I discussed today’s session and potential topics late into the night yesterday, and we came to the conclusion that the US authorities are acting like the Luddites in England who were destroying the tools that they used in their work.

Today’s US authorities are breaking their 'tools of greatness.'

The dollar is one of the few instruments of today’s greatness of the United States.

They are pushing the global economic agents away from the dollar with their own hands.

It will happen anyway due to the shrinking of the US economy, but they are accelerating this process.

Naturally, new instruments are emerging, such as financial instruments of the central banks, which we discuss within BRICS.

There are other angles to consider as well.


Our colleague from Zimbabwe mentioned attracting investment.

Indeed, it can be done, and not only in relation to Zimbabwe. It can also be done with regard to other African countries, South Asian and Asian countries in general, fast-growing developing economies.

However, these instruments should provide safety guarantees for this investment and return on the investment.

What is the best asset to guarantee that if not gold?

The quality of the proposed investment projects?

If we ensure the quality – the quality and stability of the political regimes – and we will need to do so as a team, then we will be able to develop a payment system which will be almost volatility- and inflation-proof.

It can be done.

I discussed this with my friend and colleague President Xi Jinping during my visit, and I will discuss this with other BRICS leaders.

This is a critical area of joint work."

when will you ever learn this propagandist, you think building airplanes, missles defence systems, is the same as manufacturing orange juice??, a Fighter jets takes close to 6 year's to make, additional 1 or 2_years for testing.

let me educate your sorry ass, the new Russian SU 57 aircraft, do you know that the program that brought the aircraft was initiated in 1999 the first flight of the su57 took place in 2010, and that the SU 57 entered service in 2020. since the first flight in 2010 only 22 is in the service with the Russia airforce., you think weapons are biscuit that are get produced every 30 mins, defence companies don't just go manufacturing weapons, they manufacture weapons base on orders they received.

the gross ignorance in this group is overwhelming.

😁 I can understand his pain.

He's pained that Russia folded their hands and watched whilst Azerbaijan took control of their territories. This is why he tried to blackmail Russia by threatening to leave CSTO.

Azerbaijan is a more strategic ally to Russia than Armenia. Armenia is useless to everyone. A barren piece of land that holds no geopolitical value. Even NATO didn't come to their rescue Lmaoo.

VLADIMIR PUTIN:

"We cannot rely on and exploit others, as the United States does.

Every year, the United States has a $1 trillion trade deficit.

What is this? I believe everyone present here will understand what I mean.

This is a modern version of neocolonialism.

By using the dollar’s monopolistic status, the United States consumes $1 trillion more annually than it produces.

It extracts these resources from other countries.

We spoke about the pandemic period earlier.

What did they do?

I do not recall the exact amount of money the United States printed, but it totalled over $5 trillion.


By the way, Europe printed an estimated 3.4 trillion euros.

What did they do next?

They circulated all these banknotes domestically and then started buying foods on the global food market.

They absorbed all these resources within their country, acting like a vacuum cleaner, and for the first time in many years, they became net food buyers and importers, rather than exporters.

As a result, global food inflation skyrocketed.

However, we cannot behave in the same way, and we do not monopolise the global currency market, the way the US dollar is doing.

We have never acted like colonialists or neo-colonialists.

In this case, we should, of course, rely on our economic potential and assess it realistically, which is what we are doing.

Naturally, we are considering diversification in order to balance the current industrial situation, the real economy and the future situation.

This is how everything is developing."
Putin.
One thing about Putin is that when he is serious, you better watch yourself.

This man doesn't mess around.
The u s dollars days are over, whether you like it or not, whether you agree with me or not, the dollar will fall.

I like the fact that it was in my lifetime that these events are taking place, I'll be the one to tell the story to the younger generation and the generations to come.

It's a pity that Europe's fate is also tied to this great reset, a downfall that'll be studied in school by the younger generation.

God bless Nigeria.
