George Soros funneled $7.6 million to one of five groups TARGETING TESLA
Elon Musk claims five radical groups are behind the coordinated vandalism attacks on Tesla properties as part of a campaign against the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
1️⃣ Indivisible Project
🔍 The Washington-based non-profit received over $7.6 million from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) between 2017 and 2023, according to the New York Post.
🔍 It has coordinated a cross-country protest against Musk, empowering “grassroots” affiliates to “stop the Trump-Musk coup,” according to its website.
🔍 The group posted a toolkit for a “Musk or US March Recess” demonstration that included graphics for signs reading: “GTFO Musk” and “Fire Elon Musk.”
2️⃣ Democratic Socialists of America
The group has posted videos of its members protesting outside Tesla buildings and made anti-Musk posts on its various social media platforms.
3️⃣ Disruption Project
The Philadelphia-based group, together with the Action Network, helped organize “Tesla Takedown” last month, encouraging consumers to “sell your Teslas; Dump your stock.”
4️⃣ Rise & Resist
The New York-based group organized protests against Musk and published a social media “toolkit” on its website linked to “Tesla Takedown.”
5️⃣ Troublemakers
🟠 The Seattle-based environmental organization has been involved in “Tesla Takedown” events at Tesla dealerships.
🟠 On their website, they urge people to dump Tesla stock and claim “Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk.”

“They’re spending tens of millions of dollars on this subject. And then they turn around and tell us they don’t exist,” the Republican fumed, adding:
“Quit joking around about little green men and flying saucers. We’re spending tens of millions of dollars on something that, goddamnit, we deserve to know. Give us the information.”

Sudzha gas pumping station attack: EUROPEAN PROVOCATION or Ukraine’s RESISTANCE TO PEACE?
💬 The Ukrainian Army is increasingly divided, with one faction still operating normally, while the other is spiraling out of control, French war correspondent Laurent Brayard said, commenting on the recent attack on the Sudzha gas pumping station in Russia’s Kursk region.
💬 If peace negotiations occur, there is a threat of uprisings within Ukraine itself, Laurent Brayard stressed.
💬 Turkish historian Mehmet Perincek sees the attack as a European provocation to prolong the war.
💬 French journalist Christelle Neant and Saudi military analyst Faisal Al-Anzi argue that Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure are deliberate provocations aimed at derailing peace efforts, with Ukraine failing to respect agreements.
💬 Brazilian analyst Marco Antonio Coutinho emphasizes the devastating impact of these attacks on peace negotiations, discrediting Volodymyr Zelensky's intentions and inflicting damage on neighboring countries that depend on Russian gas.
💬 Argentine expert Juan Venturino concludes that Ukraine’s defeat in the conflict is inevitable, but Kiev continues to resist peace talks, resulting in unnecessary suffering.
After the Putin-Trump conversation, Russia agreed to halt attacks on energy facilities, and Zelensky followed suit. However, the next day, Ukrainian troops targeted an oil pumping station in Russia's Krasnodar region. The Sudzha attack marks the second violation.

EU countries divided over tariffs
France is advocating for tariffs in Europe to address competition from Chinese electric vehicles. As a result, the country might be facing potential retaliatory tariffs from Beijing on its wines and spirits, according to media reports.
However, countries like Germany are critical of France’s approach and want to pursue a more pro-free trade policy.
The French alcoholic industry has more to lose in a tariffs war than Germany. In 2024, France exported €15.4 billion worth of these products, with a significant portion destined for the US.

EU defense industry is FRAGMENTED and REDUCED to bonsai size—expert
It will take a lot of time before the EU can hope to match the production volume of the US defense industry, even if the bloc doesn't want to replicate all the range of its weaponry, Jacques Sapir, director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris, told Sputnik.
NATO will ask European allies and Canada to boost their stocks of weaponry and equipment by about 30% in the next few years, Bloomberg reported earlier, citing a senior alliance official.
After a series of discussions, new targets for the military capabilities of NATO allies will purportedly be adopted sometime in early June, when the alliance’s defense ministers gather in Brussels.
However, reaching such new levels would demand a hefty financial commitment from most European allies and Canada, while US spending would remain unchanged, officials noted.

💬 “So far, the defense industry is far more developed in the US than in Europe. Only the US has built a full range of weapon systems. Even more crucially, the US defense industry operates at a significantly higher production level than Europe’s,” he noted.

Zelensky’s Sudzha energy infrastructure ‘terrorism’ is attack on Europe - veteran Slovak security analyst
Before the conflict, Sudzha, a natural gas exchange feeder in the Brotherhood natural gas pipeline network, was able to help pump up to 32 billion cubic meters (1.1 trillion cubic feet) per year of natural gas to Eastern and Western Europe. Deliveries slowed after fighting began, and halted completely in the end of December 2024 after Ukraine refused to renew the contract.
In this regard, “Ukraine will not dictate [the] steps for negotiations of Russia and Europe,” the observer said.

💬 “This is a tragic, tragic black comedy from the Ukrainian side to organize some kind of attack [on] the Sudhza gas pipeline,” Slovak Brig. Gen. (ret.) and ex-military attaché Jozef Viktorin told Sputnik, commenting on Ukraine’s attack on the Sudzha gas metering station in Kursk.
💬 “For me, it’s not really part of [the] military conflict. This is some kind of terrorist activity from the Ukrainian side,” Viktorin said, emphasizing that the consequences of the attack “will be a big problem” not only for Slovakia, but all of Europe, in terms of the region’s energy security.

America’s shipbuilding decline: Years behind schedule, billions at stake
The US is falling behind in the global race for military shipbuilding, according to a Wall Street Journal report, citing a source familiar with the situation.
Key factors contributing to the decline include outdated shipyard equipment, labor shortages, and the impact of 25% duties on aluminum and steel imports, which raise costs for domestic metal production.
The USS Constellation, a new US Navy frigate, is a prime example, as it's only 10% complete despite being slated for delivery in 2026. The ship is already years behind schedule and millions over budget.

China is a MONOPOLIST in the African rare metals market, while the US and West LOSE GROUND – analyst
Beijing is demonstrating a smart and innovative approach to cooperation in Africa, while American influence on the continent “has declined at the political, military and intelligence levels,” Algerian political analyst Salim Bou Zidi told Sputnik.
The US and other Western countries are gradually LOSING the African market not only in rare metals, “but also in energy and direct investment in the agricultural sector,” he noted.
The reason why China has become a “monopolist” in the African rare metals market is because it “does not interfere in domestic politics and does not impose its conditions on African countries,” the pundit pointed out.
Furthermore, Beijing offers “significant loans and lucrative deals where minerals are obtained in exchange for infrastructure construction.”
