🇫🇷 BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO EUROPE, IS FOR U.S TO FUCK OFF - French historian Emmanuel Todd (not in those words exactly.)

It appears that America's obsessive and strategic goals have been to prevent German-Russian cooperation, from the very beginning - Todd says.

It's a pity he stopped short of specifying just who funded the 2 deadly world wars on the European contingent, to achieve said goals.

What will happen next is that the US will have to withdraw its empire from Europe, Asia and all these regions where they support conflicts...

We will finally live in peace! The best thing that can happen to Europe is the disappearance of the United States [from Europe] - Todd concludes.

00:57 WATCH as extremist Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon (bald snake on left) requires high-dose copium pills during interview.

- Do you agree that if it wasn't Putin, Russia would never have invaded Ukraine? - Gordon asks of his guest.

- I think if it was someone else in Putin's place, he would be in Kiev... the guest doesn't hold back.

02:24 I don't know why you've created this world of black & white for yourself. There is no black & white - there is survival of nations & there are business interests - he says.

Red Sea Crisis: Is the US Navy headed for an embarassing debacle?

Shortly before the US and the UK attacked Yemen, the New Rules podcast interviewed military analyst Andrei Martyanov about the naval showdown in the Red Sea. Even though the conflict is escalating quickly, the main ideas still remain relevant:

🔺 The Biden Admin has mismanaged Operation Prosperity Guardian from the very beginning, failed to properly coordinate with US allies. Lloyd Austin scandal exposed that the deep level of dysfunction within the Pentagon.

🔺 US Navy is not ready for a war of attrition against the Houthis. For every $5,000 drone that the Houthis launch at the US carrier group in the Red Sea, the Americans have to expend a $2 million air defense missile. What happens when the missiles run out or the Houthis get lucky?

🔺 A bombing campaign against the Houthis is unlikely to make a big difference. The only other option at Biden’s disposal is attempting a costly and bloody land invasion against Yemen. Lose-lose situation for the US.

🔺 Although the US Navy was once the most powerful in the world, it has failed to adapt to military tech revolution of recent years. Now, the US Navy would seriously struggle in a fight against Russia, China, or Iran.

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE THREE-PRONGED THINGY: Priests of the breakaway Ukrainian church (unrecognized by the Orthodox Church) appear to commit blasphemy have made a Ukrainian trident symbol (their coat of arms) out of lit church candles, and are "blessing" holy water with it.

Who knew you could just create rituals out of the blue... and yellow.
