Color revolution in the making: Is SERBIA under GLOBALIST ATTACK?

The protests in Serbia are part of a "color revolution" orchestrated by Western intelligence services and funded by USAID, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin told Sputnik.

Let's have a look at Vulin’s arguments:

🟠Hijacked protests: "The people behind the attempts at a 'color' revolution in Serbia are not the same as those protesting on the ground.” The unrest following the November 2024 tragedy at the Novi Sad railway station has been hijacked.

🟠Paid leadership: While most Serbian students and civilians have not been "bought," their leaders have been “organized, trained, and paid” by the West.

🟠No public opposition leadership: There are no clear decision-makers within the movement, leaving Serbian authorities and the public uncertain about whom to negotiate with.

🟠Role of Western embassies: Embassies, primarily from EU states, have interfered in the protests, with the University of Belgrade’s Rector Vladan Dokic visiting EU embassies before traveling to Brussels.

🟠Foreign funding: Significant foreign funding is evident in protest logistics—portable stages, sound equipment, flags, food, daily payments for activists, and organized transportation.

🟠Push for coup d'etat: Opposition leaders and student protest organizers refuse to engage in dialogue with authorities, signaling intent to push for regime change instead of reaching compromise.

🔍Three reasons why Europe would have TROUBLE building own nukes

It’s easy to talk about pursuing nuclear weapons, but surprisingly “hard to realize,” says veteran defense analyst and ex-Swedish Armed Forces officer Mikael Valterrson, commenting on recent reporting in European business media about “discussions” taking place European capitals on the matter.

There are “three main problems,” with the idea:

🪖Command & Control

“A European Treaty Organization (ETO) would be a cooperation without a clear leader, not a single state. It’s very hard for an organization to have nuclear capability. Who shall decide when to use it and who to defend? It’s easy to say that you will defend everyone, but it’s very unlikely in reality.”

🛠Production challenges

“It’s not enough to have some capability to produce nuclear weapons and their delivery systems. You have to have enough of them.” For Europe to reach even modern-day British or French warhead numbers (225-290), it would likely take until 2040.

💶Astronomical expense

“Nuclear weapons are very expensive and a large part of the defense budgets of France and the UK goes to this renewal of nuclear weapons.” The cost of a European deterrent “would also be very high, taking resources from conventional rearmament.” And if Europe wants a truly strong deterrent including nuclear triad capability, even more spending would be needed.

🤷‍♂️Pointless endeavor?

Besides these issues, there’s also the matter of the tensions created by European nuclear proliferation. “Some kind of sanctions might be possible,” and in the event of a military conflict with other major powers, “nuclear research and production facilities would be prime targets,” Valterrson warns.

Whatever deterrent Europe builds, it would be outmatched by 5,000+ Russian nuclear weapons, which “have the capacity to turn Europe into a wasteland,” staring back at them. “The question arises, is a limited European nuclear umbrella worth its price?” Valterrson asks.

🇬🇱 Greenland leaders FUME OVER upcoming US delegation visit

🗣 The US posture is “very aggressive and it is so serious that the level cannot be raised further” Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede told the Sermitsiaq newspaper.

Egede was referring to the upcoming visit by a delegation led by Usha Vance, wife of US Vice-President JD Vance.

They will visit the Pituffik US Space Force base on Thursday.

US President Donald Trump has made repeatedly voiced his desire to annex Greenland, and his administration claims strategic interests in the Danish territory – including its location in the high Arctic and its abundance of rare earth minerals.

Denmark is also taking the visit seriously.

💬 “The visit from the United States cannot be seen in isolation from the public statements that have been made,” Danish Prime Minster Mette Frederiksen said. “Greenland belongs to and with the Kingdom of Denmark. They should sling their hook elsewhere.”

‘Bombs were falling, and we were playing tennis’: Novak Djokovic’s ex-coach opens up on Serbian superstar’s training during 1999 NATO bombardment

💬 “Training with Novak in 1999 was like an escape from the madness surrounding us,” Aleksandar Bolic, Djokovic’s former trainer, told Sputnik.

“When we came to the courts of the Partizan Tennis Club, it was like an oasis – everything was far away from us, even though it was happening right in front of our eyes.”

“It’s impossible to forget - a helicopter is flying over your head and bombs are falling, but Novak and I are playing tennis. It wasn’t easy, but somehow we managed to get through it, and in the end, it was worth it,” Bolic said.

Djokovic, who was 11-years-old when NATO carried out its aggression, “was always 100% focused on tennis,” even during the crisis, Bolic recalled.

💬 “He spoke regularly about his training during the bombings, and how it affected him. I think his actions today and just who he is as a person are the result of what we lived through during those years.”

Trump’s top national security officials accidentally sent Yemen STRIKE PLANS to editor of leading neoliberal magazine

The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg says he was included in a Signal messaging chain detailing US plans to attack the Houthis hours before operations began.

A sample of the conversation:

💬 Vice-President Vance: “@Pete Hegseth if you think we should do it let’s do it. I just hate bailing Europe out again.”

💬 Defense Secretary Hegseth: “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC. But Mike [Waltz] is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

💬 S M (presumably WH deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller): "As I heard it, the president was clear: green light, but we soon make it clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return...If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return."

💬 A follow-up message by Hegseth contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the US would be deploying, and attack sequencing.

The White House has confirmed that Goldberg had been sent the classified military planning info by mistake.

The Atlantic and its editor-in-chief have been a longtime source of Trump’s ire, with the president dubbing it a “failing magazine” and calling Goldberg out by name over his previous false reporting.

Who is Michael Anton, the lead negotiator sent by Trump to talk peace with Russia?

The world is holding its breath awaiting news on the outcome of a new round of Russia-US talks in Riyadh on Ukraine. Leading the US delegation this time around is a former Trump speechwriter whose significance has been completely overlooked by the mainstream media.

🔸 Michael Anton, policy planning director at the State Department, is the chief ideologist behind “America First” – the keystone Trump domestic and foreign policy concept unveiled in 2016, which prioritizes American interests over globalism.

🔸 In his influential 2016 essay “The Flight 93 Election,” Anton argued that Trump was America’s last chance to preserve America’s identity, borders and sovereignty against a liberal elite driving the country toward disaster.

🔸 A paleoconservative, Anton has been a consistent critic of hawks in both parties. In a 2022 essay on George Kennan, he blasted “Russophobic Kennanphiles’” stubborn rejection of talking to Russia, and pointed out that Kennan rightfully “predicted that pushing’s NATO’s border to the Ukrainian frontier would spark a crisis.”

🔸 Elsewhere, Anton has expressed skepticism of US involvement in the conflict, stressing that the US is not world’s policeman, has no direct national security interests in Ukraine, and warning that the quagmire would sap US military power and leave it falling behind in the competition with China.

🔸 Anton has said that Russia was provoked in Ukraine, and has expressed fears that the crisis could lead to a wider war (a concern Trump himself has regularly voiced).

🔸 In a 2023 speech, Anton urged conservative forces in the US and Britain to adopt to a new “grand strategy” for the 21st century – waging fewer wars and paying more attention to domestic problems, like borders and the economy.

🔸 Today, his central role in Riyadh may signal that the pragmatists in Trump’s administration favoring a big reset with Russia have consolidated their positions in Washington.
