🚨 Houthis warn Israel: you have 4 DAYS to lift Gaza blockade

"If the Israeli enemy after four days continues to prevent the humanitarian aid into Gaza and continues to completely close the crossings, we will resume our naval operations against the Israeli enemy," the head of the movement Abdul Malik al-Houthi said in a statement.


The Houthis supported Gaza through the course of the 15-month-long Hamas-Israel war via a campaign of missile and drone launches and a blockade of the Red Sea to Israeli and Israeli-linked merchant shipping that the US and UK proved unable to foil.

☢️☂️ Can French deterrent really protect a Europe in which Russian and US nukes dominate?

President Macron’s proposal to discuss the use of France’s nuclear arsenal for European defense has sparked backlash. Critics argue the move risks escalating tensions with Russia, which possesses the world’s largest nuclear stockpile, and undermining NATO’s US-led deterrence strategy.

Is Vance the most hawkish in team Trump?

US Vice President has often struck a harder line than President Trump, especially regarding Ukraine, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed European officials.

🏛 His approach was different from that of figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg, who seemed to adopt more moderate positions.
This is according to the officials, familiar with the negotiations to resolve the disagreements between Trump and Zelensky and the signing of the minerals deal.

🗣 After Vance’s speech at the Munich conference, when he talked about "the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values: values shared with the United States of America", European countries have accelerated efforts to increase defense spending and address the possibility of a lasting SPLIT FROM THE US on security issues.

French officer-turned-Donbass fighter: many French troops FEAR facing Russian artillery

Only a small number of French army personnel are capable of showing themselves worthy on the battlefield, Francois Mauld d’Aymee, a French officer-turned Donbass People’s Militia volunteer, special military operation veteran, told Sputnik.

"I think at least 20-30% of French units military personnel may refuse to be sent fighting against Russians. Because many of them believe that Russia is right on the Ukrainian conflict, and they are afraid of a confrontation with us. They are very scared of our artillery".

What are Merz’s obstacles on the way to LIMITLESS defense spending?

Germany’s Chancellor-to-be Friedrich Merz recently tried to break away from the tradition of fiscal discipline by announcing a plan to detach defense expenditure from borrowing limits and set up a $543 billion infrastructure fund.

What Merz has to do to win support for his plan:

🏛 Secure a two-thirds majority

He needs to gain support beyond his CDU/CSU bloc and the Social Democratic Party, which would have to include the Green Party. While the Greens support fiscal easing, they demand stronger climate protection measures, making things more complicated.

🪧 Manage internal CDU/CSU resistance

Some conservatives are wary of abandoning fiscal discipline, especially since they campaigned on maintaining Germany’s debt brake.

📑 Push the legislation through the old parliament

Passing the new fiscal law before the new Bundestag convenes on March 21 would avoid blocking from minority votes, but it also may be criticized by the opposition.

Following the suppression of protests against the new Syrian regime in regions populated by Alawites, Druze and Kurds, an American journalist criticized anti-Assad US policies that have led to increased violence against minorities.

In September 2014, the US illegally intervened in Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS. The first American ground troops started to enter Syria in 2015.
