⚡PVV leader Geert Wilder’s nominee for Netherlands migration minister, Gidi Markuszower, fails ministerial security check due to Mossad ties.

Interior minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin previously cautioned Wilders in a letter that the AIVD suspected Israeli-born Markuszower of “sharing information and being under the influence of a foreign intelligence entity.”

GAO ZHIKAI:

"I think the Dutch are really doing something foul because they traveled all the way from Europe to East Asia and claim that they are exercising supervision on behalf of the United Nations.

The fact that their helicopter became aloft very close to the largest metropolis in China—Shanghai—raised concerns on the Chinese side.

The Chinese Navy and the Air Force are fully justified to take action against such interference, and for the Dutch side to pretend to be the victim is really a double standard.

Fortunately, this didn't end up in real friction between the two sides.


The Dutch side needs to be warned that if they repeat such acts of infringement against Chinese law, they will be held fully responsible.

We know that in recent months, there have been quite a few countries, like Canada and others, which have claimed that their airplanes or naval ships were being monitored.

First of all, all these countries are not neighboring countries with China.

They came from afar—Canada is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the Netherlands is on the other side of the Eurasian continent.

Why did they travel this length to East Asia?

I think they acted under the direction of the United States, which wants to strengthen the so-called first island chain and the second island chain to try to suffocate China and prevent the Chinese naval forces, air forces, and otherwise from going beyond these chains into the Pacific.


I think the Netherlands, this time again, is acting in concert with the United States and on their behalf, trying to raise tensions in East Asia and really muddle the water rather than create stability in our part of the world.

If these countries are really worried that the Chinese planes or naval ships are getting closer to them to monitor their movements and ask for their information, the best way is to stay far away from China rather than encroach upon it and violate China's legitimate security interests.

If they really want to test the willpower of the Chinese nation as to how to defend China's sovereignty and legitimate territorial interests, then they need to be prepared for all the consequences.


I think it is very important to take note of the fact that there are indeed important Western countries—especially members of the NATO alliance—that are becoming more and more hostile against China.

They keep talking about a confrontation with China because they say China's values are different from theirs.

Are you really serious?

What kind of values are you talking about?


Are you talking about values from 100 years in your history, 200 years in your history, or values from your darkest days of colonial power, enslaving people, and selling people like slaves? Come on.

So I think it is dangerous to see that certain countries want to follow the US leadership, for example, in instigating greater antagonism between China and the United States.

Some even claim that war is destined between China and the United States.

Countries like the Netherlands need to use their own brains to think about the reality in the world of today.

They need to fully stand for peace rather than be hijacked onto the bandwagon of war between and among major countries in the world of today."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on how the war against Russia in Ukraine is existential for both sides:

“They [the Anglo-Americans] cannot afford to lose the war in Ukraine, which means Russia cannot win. Because first of all, their political legacy will not exist, or it will be so poor that they cannot allow it. Number two, the position of Europe and the collective West in geopolitical terms will deteriorate so much that no one will be able to revive it, and number three, it will open Pandora’s box for more movements, at least, and hostilities against the collective West in the future. But take the other side.


If Putin loses the war, Russia will not exist and will not be shaped like it is today. I mean, when you have these two sides so far from each other, with their wishes, with their expectations, you see that everything is at stake. Everything. No one can afford to lose.

When you have this situation, that’s why I’m saying that we’re getting closer to a real disaster.”

⚡According to U.S. and U.K. Officials, the Palauan-Flagged and Ukrainian-Owned Bulk Cargo Ship, M/V Verbena who was Struck earlier today by at least 2 Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles launched by the Houthis in Yemen while transiting the Gulf of Aden, has been Struck once again by a Houthi Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile causing additional Damage to the Vessel.

However despite this, all of the Fires onboard have been Extinguished and Ship is continuing on to its next Port-of-Call in Italy.

The Status of the Sailor who was Evacuated from the Ship earlier today by the U.S. Navy, after being Seriously Injured in the First Attack, is currently Unknown.

Pls where is the lie here my western colleagues

SERGEY LAVROV:

"We are not the ones dividing the world into blocs or declaring that those who disagree with us will face consequences.

All of this is occurring at the initiative of our Western colleagues. I won’t reiterate, but this behavior seems ingrained in their nature.

After 500 years of global dominance and a long history of showing complete disrespect for the great civilizations that existed before the West took control—such as the Ottoman, Chinese, Indian, and Arab civilizations—our Western colleagues are not interested in building any bridges.

They use bricks solely to construct walls and to hit those who do not comply with their dictates.

As I have mentioned, we are not isolating ourselves from the West.

However, the West must realize that its current behavior will only lead to ongoing confrontation.


Presently, within the BRICS framework and other integration associations, processes are underway that will shield the rest of the world from the excesses and aggression of the Western powers that still dominate the international market.

The People’s Republic of China and we were constructing a bridge across the Amur River, each of us building our respective half. For the construction to commence, the same process needs to begin on the other side.

Building your half in the hope that it might eventually benefit someone, however, seems to be an unproductive use of physical and mental energy.

The West has built a wall separating itself from the rest of the world.

If it chooses, it can tear down this wall and explain to us the terms under which it is willing to rejoin the civilized world and engage in civilized communication.

Then we will see."

⚡Iran announced the installation of new centrifuges for uranium enrichment.

As stated in the IAEA report, Iran plans to install 8 cascades of 174 IR-6 centrifuges at the Fordo facility in the coming weeks. Tehran plans to install 18 cascades of IR-2M centrifuges at the Natanz facility.

Earlier, the Iranian side said it had taken “several measures” at the Natanz and Fordo nuclear sites in response to a new resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors, which criticized Tehran for allegedly insufficient cooperation with the agency. The resolution was proposed by Britain, Germany and France. The Russian Federation and China voted against the document.

True. The same way Hong Kong, Taiwan and any small nation who recognizes Taiwan are being bullied.

It's a matter of time before they themselves become on a global scale what they criticise today.

They are forming humility currently because they don't have the ultimate global power.

Like how the West are testing their weapons on Russians. good point
Of course.

Every major conflict is an opportunity to test how good your weapon work, for example Afghanistan vs USSR war when Pak used F16 against Afghanistan forces.

In Vietnam war, it was the testing ground for Soviet weapons against USA best weapons and so on

I don't expect a reddit rote machine caught in a rapacious frenzy of idiocy like you to grab complex thoughts and ideas but you've been especially silly this past week. There is simply no evidence that China conducts debt trap diplomacy, those usurious loans are the exclusive preserve of Blackrock and other western lenders.

You overrate the US too much.


Everyone has a weak spot.


We'll see if they're still a military economy when other countries stop trading in dollars. That's all that's still keeping them afloat. Nothing else.

It seems like you're new to Twitter?

2 years ago Russian bank collapse trended on Twitter, how did that end?

They showed the same queue of people trying to sell off their dollars in 2022.

Check the photos. 95% of them were recycled from 2022.

Russia bank collapsed but 1 USD was about 87 Rubles yesterday.

A year ago it was 93 or so.

when banks collapse
It doesn't mean a sudden death
It's a slow process,from 2022 till now. Go and ask the average Russian in Moscow not other parts of Russia
Just Moscow
You will know what the sanctions is doing to them
Take a look at Nigeria as the dollar is increasing.
Does it affect the politicians or those close to them
No.
It's the common man
No matter what they tell you
Russians are suffering and they don't want you to know.
