The US presidential candidate slammed the US for striving to escalate the Ukraine conflict:
"Escalation has a terrible logic all its own. We should have learned this in Vietnam... It was the Vietnam war which changed global perceptions of the moral leadership of the United States. It will be Ukraine that cements those perceptions in the minds of the targeted and their many allies," he wrote on X.
He also added that now many countries prefer to cooperate with BRICS rather than NATO "for moral and economic reasons that are easy to understand."

🇫🇷🇷🇺 A Frenchman fighting alongside Russian forces sends a message to his compatriots
French people who join the ranks of forces loyal to Kiev for ideological reasons "do not necessarily analyze the situation. They do not try to understand who is fighting, why and how it has come to this", Sergueï Munier, commander of the Normandie-Niémen unit in the Donbass, told Sputnik Africa.
In this regard, Munier underlines that he would like to address French servicemen "who might find themselves here", since a French serviceman has moral duties and must ask himself questions:

"They see that there are nationalists in Ukraine, they see symbols of the Third Reich. They say that is fine, that is all they need," he explains.
In this regard, Munier underlines that he would like to address French servicemen "who might find themselves here", since a French serviceman has moral duties and must ask himself questions:
"Is he really serving France? Does going to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians or Russians, whatever you call them, really serve France?" he asks.

Outpost to wage war? Сomprehending US military presence on Guam
A United States Air Force (USAF) B-1B Lancer bomber, which recently touched down on Guam "to support routine missions," is the latest arrival of strategic American bombers at the western Pacific Ocean island - an unincorporated organized territory of the US.
What’s known about the US military presence on Guam and how many bases are there in the area?
▪️The US Army’s boots on the ground on Guam date back to the beginning of the last century, with military installations starting to appear during World War II.
▪️America’s growing military presence on the island “has been at least a decade in the making. It began in 2012 after Japan asked the US to move some troops out of Okinawa and gained traction in 2018 after the US national defense strategy called China a pre-eminent threat to US interests and security in the region,” according to the World Street Journal.
▪️The US Department of Defense (DoD) reportedly owns about 25% of Guam's land, where roughly 10,000 American soldiers are currently stationed.
▪️The Pentagon plans to spend a whopping $7.3 billion on military construction on the island between 2024 and 2028, amid reports that the DoD seeks to create “an air and missile defense architecture for Guam” to grapple with an alleged Chinese threat.
▪️Already, there are 12 military installations in Guam, which serve as strategic locations for America’s defense and support operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
▪️In particular, Guam is home to such strategic US bases as the Andersen Air Force Base, (the island’s largest military installation), Naval Base Guam, the Guam Army National Guard and the recently formed Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz.
▪️The USAF earlier this year proposed to upgrade the Andersen Air Force Base to host up to 12 Singaporean F-15 fighters for training.
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian meanwhile warned against turning Guam into a US “outpost for waging war”, adding that the island’s security “depends on what role the United States wants Guam to play.”

Earlier, NBC reported that a commercial ship, which was passing by the American Dwight Eisenhower, saw explosions near the vessel, likely the latest attack by the Houthis. As a result, the US officials reportedly ordered the ship to return home.

Russian-North Korean pact is a major loss for US allies in region
The allies of the US in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, were the biggest losers of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed between Russia and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Late last year, the Japanese government approved a record military budget, making it the third highest military spender in the world, after the US and China. Just a decade ago, Japan had a pacifist defense policy and would only use its military in direct self-defense. In 2014, that restriction was removed and Japan started expanding its military capabilities.
This “is not consoling to the DPRK,” added Horne. “No doubt [it] motivated this recent embrace of Moscow.”
“It is a strategic defeat for US imperialism in the sense that Russia is now strengthened diplomatically [and] perhaps even militarily,” Horne said.

The allies of the US in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, were the biggest losers of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed between Russia and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
“Recall that Japan has been lobbying Moscow incessantly for decades for the return of the Kuril Islands,” explained historian and author Dr. Gerald Horne on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour. “Now you see that Japan is staggered by the prospect that North Korea, which specializes in sending missiles into Japanese space, now has a formidable ally in the form of Moscow.”

“It is also a failure of the entire Cold War era, perpetrated and driven by US imperialism. That is to say that somehow Washington did not realize – I guess they did not study diplomatic history or political geography – that Russia, the largest country by territory on planet Earth, has been designed to play a major role in world politics be they led by communists in Moscow or non-communists in Moscow,” concluded Horne. “Now we see the validation of that particular thesis, because we see that Moscow [has been] resurrected.”

Kuwait urges its nationals to leave Lebanon amid escalation with Israel
The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry has called on all Kuwaiti citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible over the recent escalation with Israel, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
In light of this, all Kuwaiti citizens staying in Lebanon must leave the country as soon as possible for their own safety, unless they hold it for absolutely necessary to stay, the ministry said.
The situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border worsened after the start of hostilities between Israel and Palestinian movement Hamas in October 2023. The Israeli army and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, who support Palestine in the conflict with Israel, have regularly exchanged fire across the border since then. On Tuesday, Israel said it approved and validated operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon.

IDF strapped an injured Palestinian to its vehicle in an alleged 'human shield' incident
A video has emerged on social media of what appears to be an injured Palestinian,who was named as Mujahed Azmi by the Reuters news agency, being driven through the city of Jenin in the West Bank while strapped to the hood of an Israeli military vehicle, seemingly being used as a human shield.
The video was taken on Friday and is reportedly from the Jabariyat neighborhood. Israeli special forces were reportedly conducting a raid in the neighborhood while seeking out resistance fighters.
Israeli forces reportedly arrested three men during the raid. Including at least one injured man, Majd Hussiniyya, whose family reportedly said that they have not heard from Israeli authorities about his condition or whereabouts.
Ra’fat Husseiniyya, the owner of the home, told the outlet that the three men were his brothers and claimed that they were not suspected to be part of the resistance. The Red Crescent said that they treated three people from Jabariyat suffering from gunshot wounds.
Hamas is not in control of the West Bank, though Jenin has been a central point of Palestinian resistance in the West Bank. The Jenin Brigade posted on its Telegram account that it discovered Israeli special forces in Jabariyat and engaged them using firearms and explosive devices. They claim to have caused casualties among the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

According to the news agency, Ukraine is seeking US approval to launch long-range missile strikes 100-150 kilometers into Russian territory. Ukrainian military brass claim that without this ability, allegedly "their hands are tied."
President Vladimir Putin warned in late May that NATO member countries should be aware of "what they are playing with" when they talk about plans to allow Ukraine to strike "legitimate targets" deep into Russian territory with Western-provided missile systems.

"Of these thirty-odd provisions that we will negotiate, I expect that the most difficult … will be the topics of agriculture and transport," Sikorski said in an appearance on the TVN channel.
He noted that Ukraine has "giant farms" on "very fertile land," which "will be a problem for the entire common agricultural policy of the European Union."
On Friday, the EU Council approved the commencement of negotiations regarding the accession of Ukraine and Moldova, set to begin on June 25.
Prior to this, Polish farmers had been taking action by repeatedly blocking checkpoints along the border with Ukraine in response to the influx of agricultural goods.
