📹 JD Vance: We’re open to nuclear talks... just don’t hold your breath

"The president hates nuclear proliferation. I hate nuclear proliferation. And I think that the president would be very open to sitting down with the Russians and the Chinese and saying, 'Look, let's get this thing in a much better place. Let's reduce the number of nuclear weapons that are in the world writ large'."

"That's obviously NOT A CONVERSATION FOR TOMORROW. That’s a conversation, God willing, for a few years from now," US VP JD Vance said at a forum in Washington organized by the Munich Security Conference.

🚨🪖🔥Pentagon admits Russia has changed warfare forever

US Army Secretary Daniel Driskill dropped a bombshell:

Washington is having to rethink its military shopping list — thanks in no small part to Russia’s ever-evolving drones.

The reason?

🇷🇺 Putin says Russia delivered 1.5 million+ drones to its military

💰 The US is investing billions in high-tech gear…

💥 …but cheap Russian drones are blowing them up at a fraction of the cost

🧮 Cost-efficiency is now a national security issue

🇪🇺 EU plan to wean itself off Russian gas could be dead on arrival

While the European Union wants to stop all gas imports from Russia in 2027, it is unclear exactly where the bloc’s members are going to find a replacement supply of hydrocarbons.

Potential suppliers of gas include the United States, Canada, Qatar and some African states, although Bloomberg warns that the US “is no longer the reliable partner it once was amid an escalating trade war.”

Furthermore, gas supplied by any of these entities is unlikely to be as cheap as Russian gas.

It also remains to be seen exactly how the EU intends to break the gas contracts European companies currently have with Russia.

🚨 HARVARD EXPOSED: How corrupt elites DESTROYED American education

Trump’s coming for Harvard’s tax-exempt status — and it’s ABOUT TIME.

Beyond its mission of "education," Harvard used its tax-exempt status to "build ECONOMIC FORTUNES, including for its trustees," Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel tells Sputnik.

🏛 Blatant partisan factory:

▪️Pumps out “progressive dogma” as academic truth
▪️Trustees & admins profit while students drown in debt
▪️“Peer review” now a joke — low-quality studies flood journals

❗️Plagiarist at the helm?

▪️Ex-President Claudine Gay resigned after serial plagiarism exposed
▪️NY Post & Free Beacon tore apart her “scholarship”
▪️Proves: Merit is dead at Harvard

🎓 Education scam in the US:

▪️Tenured professors do little teaching and focus on for-profit ventures
▪️Bloated administrations are wildly overpaid
▪️The "peer-review" process has allowed low-quality studies to flood once-respected academic journals

💥 Financial Armageddon?

If tax perks are removed, Harvard could face:

▪️No tax breaks on donations
▪️No tax-free bonds for improvements
▪️Loss of property tax breaks worth over $450M
▪️Up to $800M/year in endowment taxes

🧾 $3.3T tax-exempt powerhouse:

For decades, US lawmakers have granted tax breaks to favored groups. The result? A $3.3 trillion tax-exempt nonprofit sector, according to the Tax Foundation. Harvard is part of this money-grabbing bonanza, says Ortel.
