Hungary agrees with France that Europe needs strategic autonomy to make decisions, in line with its own interests
Hungarian President Katalin Novak wrote on Twitter that he and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron agreed that Europe needs strategic autonomy to be able to make decisions based on its own interests. The presidents had a discussion on the sidelines of the 4th Council of Europe summit in Reykjavik.
In April, Emmanuel Macron stated that Europe must lower its dependency on the US and build up its "strategic autonomy". He added that Europe should avoid being "caught up in crises that are not ours," implying China-US tensions over Taiwan.

🗣️“Whatever the Democrat propaganda narrative is, even they as well as everybody else knew the deal, that it was a complete hoax. It was nonsense that was fabricated by the Clinton campaign, that they were up to their neck in it. The FBI participated in it. The FBI went and lied to the FISA court and basically fudged the entire process as they gave Hillary Clinton a free pass”: Infantry veteran, counselor-at-law and constitutionalist Tyler Nixon on the Durham Report's revelations on the FBI's handling of RussiaGate

Probe reveals causes of water contamination on two US aircraft carriers
US Navy investigators have released reports revealing that poor communication and technical defects led to contaminated drinking water on two American aircraft carriers in September 2022.
One report identified bilge water as the source of jet fuel contamination on the USS Nimitz, resulting in at least 11 crew members experiencing symptoms like diarrhea and skin rashes after ingesting the water. The other report found E. coli in three potable water tanks on the USS Abraham Lincoln, although no related illnesses were confirmed.
Both reports highlighted failures in communication, disregard for warning signs, and a lack of adherence to safety procedures regarding drinking water.

The time of the US dollar as the world's top currency is coming to an end due to Washington's lack of neutrality and concerns over the United States' creditworthiness
"Many friends of America are moving, trying to find something to compete with and ultimately replace the US dollar," renowned American investor Jim Rogers told Sputnik.
"It will happen. It has always happened. And America's time is coming to an end. The American dollar this time is coming to an end."
"No currency has been on top more than 150 years. Nobody has always been on top, so it's always happened," Rogers said. "People have moved away from whatever currency it is."
Rogers pointed out that the countries are now moving away from the US dollar partly because the United States is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world.

American journalist Clayton Morris called the training of tankers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the British “lessons of murder” while hosting his show
In the program Redacted News, he drew attention to a video in which Ukrainians are taught to operate Challenger 2 tanks. In one of the frames, according to him, tank ammunition filled with depleted uranium appears.
"Get close - it's time for a murder lesson," Morris's co-host sneered.
“Let me show you how cancer works, how to destroy your country,” he added.
Earlier, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Britain said that the country sent shells to Kiev, including those with depleted uranium, but does not monitor their use.

New evidence may show Trump was warned Mar-a-Lago docs were not automatically declassified
The US National Archives will provide 16 records to special counsel Jack Smith, revealing that former President Donald Trump and his top advisers were informed about the correct declassification process during his tenure.
The records, obtained through a subpoena last year, are relevant to the grand jury investigation being led by Smith, which is examining whether Trump mishandled classified documents upon leaving the White House in January 2021. Trump claimed that the documents were automatically declassified when he took them from the White House, but the letter from Archivist Debra Steidel Wall disputes this assertion and states that the records may contain significant evidence for the investigation. The documents are scheduled to be handed over on May 24, pending any court orders to the contrary.

US turns blind eye to Ukraine no longer hiding its terrorist activity - Russian embassy
The Russian Embassy in Washington has accused the United States of ignoring Ukraine's terrorist activities. In a statement, the embassy criticized the US State Department for claiming ignorance about the Ukrainian military intelligence's statements regarding Kiev's involvement in the murders and attempts on Russian journalists. The embassy argued that despite American support, Ukraine openly engages in terrorist acts while receiving weapons, intelligence, and financial assistance from the US.
The embassy further condemned the hypocrisy of the US, which is considering designating Russia as a country sponsoring terrorism while Russia fights against extreme manifestations of Nazism. The statement highlighted what the embassy viewed as exceptional hypocrisy on the part of the US.

Sweden Democrats seek to review EU strategy, set stage for 'Swexit'
Sweden Democrat leader Jimmie Akesson and MEP Charlie Weimers have published an opinion piece calling for a reevaluation of Sweden's relationship with the European Union (EU).
The national-conservative party aims to limit further power transfers to the EU and enhance Sweden's influence to achieve more favorable negotiation outcomes. They argue that Sweden's excessive compromises in Brussels have eroded the core of Swedish democracy, and propose measures such as implementing a "referendum lock" law, preparing for a potential "Swexit," and investigating ways to minimize the EU's negative effects.
Although the Sweden Democrats previously advocated for Swexit, they have toned down their anti-EU stance in recent years to foster alliances with center-right allies.
Critics contend that the party has abandoned its principles and shifted positions on various issues.
