🗣️ On the US exploiting the world through the dollar:
“You see, the world is not aware of it, but they financed all of America's wars in the Middle East. They're financing America's war in Ukraine against the Russians. That's what it means to have a reserve currency. The reserve currency country is financed by everyone else…You have to understand the reserve currency country. This means it can exploit the rest of the world,” Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, economist and former Reagan administration official, told Sputnik.

🇷🇺🛰 Russian Luna-25 probe's exciting first observations
▪️Technicians calibrated the ARIES-L spectrometer, which is used for reading and measuring ions and neutral particles of the lunar exosphere. It will also be used to study solar winds and the composition of the regolith.
▪️The PML instrument, meant to study the parameters of lunar dust particles, picked up an exciting development: a meteor crashing into the Moon. The meteor is thought to be from the Perseid meteor stream, which the station itself previously dodged successfully.
▪️Russian scientists have also processed the footage taken on August 17 by the cameras of the STS-L landing system. Both images show the unique Zeeman crater on the far side of the Moon, showing the bottom of the crater dotted with smaller craters, which form after meteorite impacts.

🇷🇺 Russian strike hits gathering of Ukrainian military experts in Chernigov disguised as civil meeting
The strike targeted Ukraine’s "Angry Birds" (Люті пташки) festival, where attendees were specifically instructed to refrain from wearing military uniform, a source who got hold of a copy of an invitation to the festival told Sputnik.
🗒 "We urge you to come to the event in civilian clothes. If possible, change out of a military uniform to avoid identifying the event as being involved in the military sphere," the invitation reads.
It also says that the event is closed, as the premises contains information sensitive to the country's defense capability, i.e. development prototypes, and that most of the participants are active military personnel. Therefore, participants can be filmed or photographed only with their prior verbal consent, the invitation says.

🇫🇷🇳🇪 France was one step away from military intervention in Niger, media reveals
The reason for the change in plans was the transition of local security forces to the side of the new authorities. The former authorities signed a document at the request of France, formally requesting "support" and "allowing" intervention and even strikes, a source in ex-President Mohamed Bazoum's entourage told the media.
According to the source, French units arrived at the headquarters of the National Guard of Niger at 4 am on July 27. They had about a dozen cars, and helicopters were also ready. Bazoum opposed the operation, while Paris also took a restrained position, since part of the Niger military, in support of which the French forces could carry out the operation, had already sided with the "National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland" created by the rebels.
