🪖 Pentagon’s surprise freeze on Ukraine aid caught Trump OFF GUARD - report

Donald Trump and his top national security officials weren’t aware of an order that stopped the delivery of US weapons and munitions to Ukraine, Reuters claims, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The verbal order, which resulted in the cancellation of some 11 flights loaded with weapons and munitions, came from the office of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

The order was supposedly issued shortly after a January 30 meeting at the Oval Office where the idea of halting US aid to Ukraine was floated, but Trump himself ostensibly gave no such instruction.

This cessation in weapon shipments was only temporary as in a matter of days (“within a week”) the flights were resumed after frantic pleas from the Ukrainian side.

📹🇺🇸 Treasury Sec. Bessent just dropped a BOMBSHELL to Congress: We're on the ‘warning track’ to SMASHING the federal debt ceiling!

He, however, declined to provide a specific timeline.

"When you're on the warning track, it means the wall is not far away," he said.

“We will share with Congress when we believe we are” nearing the point at which the Treasury can no longer pay all government bills on time, Bessent added, insisting that the US would never default but would instead raise the debt ceiling again.

Previously, the debt limit was reinstated at $36.1 trillion on January 2.

🇮🇱🪖 Israel’s next move in Gaza is a HIGH-STAKES gamble, and it’s NOT just about Trump!

Netanyahu’s trapped in a POLITICAL FIRESTORM, international relations expert Dr. Simon Tsipis told Sputnik.

▪️The resolution of the Gaza crisis and the prospects of a fresh Israeli offensive only PARTLY depend on Donald Trump’s actions

▪️Left-wing Israelis beg for a Hamas deal to save hostages, while right-wing hawks demand TOTAL WAR, occupation, and annexation of Gaza

▪️Netanyahu is caught in the middle - save hostages or sacrifice them to crush Hamas?

▪️Israel laughs off global backlash (they’ve dodged boycotts before), but a full-scale op could BLEED the IDF dry with skyrocketing casualties

▪️Worse, if the op FLOPS, Israel’s forced to pull troops from the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon borders, leaving them EXPOSED

📈 Will Bitcoin go THROUGH THE ROOF?

After dropping below $75K in April and then rocketing past $90K, Wall Street is bracing for a breakout.

💬 Analysts claim Bitcoin could hit $200,000 in 2025 as investors ditch gold and dive into crypto amid rising economic chaos driven by Trump’s trade war with China.

🔥 The dollar’s losing trust. Bitcoin is now seen by many as a better bet than gold - or even the S&P 500.

🐋 This isn’t just retail hype anymore. The shift is on from retail traders to institutional whales, according to BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick.

💰 BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, has reportedly scooped up 41,452 BTC - worth nearly $4B - over the last two weeks. And they’re not buying for fun.

🏦 Wall Street titans - Tower Research and Citadel Securities - are quietly ramping up crypto operations, insiders told Bloomberg.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump pledged to make the US the global “crypto capital.” He’s rolled out crypto-friendly regulations and launched the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

But let’s be real - crypto is still wild. The elites know it’s volatile, but they’re still stacking up BTC. Is the coming crisis making it all worth the risk?
