🔥One shot, one kill: Russia’s Kornet missile can obliterate ANY Western-supplied Ukrainian tank

This anti-tank guided missile tackles the US-made Abrams tanks and other vehicles equipped with multilayer armor, the state corporation Rostec said.

◻️The missile pierces through the strongest turrets from the "forehead" to the "back."

◻️One hit is enough to destroy any Ukrainian tank, including one fitted with anti-cumulative grids, additional screens, and dynamic protection.

◻️Even the West’s widely advertised "Chobham" composite armor cannot withstand the Kornet’s powerful warhead.

◻️The Kornet high-precision missile system can also destroy enemy firing points, fortifications, manpower, towers, and other targets.

How British Parties Fail Voters: A Legacy of Broken Promises

Political parties often come to power with grand promises, only to discard them once the seat is secured.

Whether it's Tory austerity masked as stability or Labour's progressive ideals slipping into corporate appeasement, both parties have become experts at delivering disappointments.

Conservative Party (Tories) – The Party of Broken Pledges

Taxes: "No New Taxes" (Except for All the New Taxes)

🔥 Promise: Boris Johnson’s 2019 assurance that taxes would not rise.

💀 Reality: By 2021, National Insurance was increased, and frozen tax thresholds left workers with less—undermining the "low-tax" Tory promise.

NHS: A Funding "Boost" That Left Hospitals Struggling

🔥 Promise: £34 billion more for the NHS by 2023-24.

💀 Reality: The funding fell short, and the NHS faced record wait times, crumbling infrastructure, and historic strikes.

Immigration: "Take Back Control" (Then Fail to Deliver)

🔥 Promise: Brexit would reduce migration and secure borders.

💀 Reality: Net migration surged to 745,000, the Rwanda plan became a failure, and the Tories couldn’t fulfill their key Brexit promise.

Environment: Green Claims, But More Pollution

🔥 Promise: Achieve net-zero by 2050.

💀 Reality: Sunak delayed the petrol car ban, approved new oil drilling, and sided with fossil fuel interests over climate action.

Labour Party – The Party of Broken Ideals

🔥 Promise: Tony Blair’s 1997 pledge: “We will not introduce tuition fees.”

💀 Reality: By 1998, fees were introduced at £1,000/year, and now they exceed £9,250—leaving students with crippling debt.

Iraq War: "Peacemakers" Who Waged War

🔥 Promise: Labour positioned itself as the party of diplomacy.

💀 Reality: Blair led Britain into an illegal war based on false pretenses, causing millions of deaths and instability in the Middle East.

Housing: "More Social Homes" (Then Selling Them Off)
🔥 Promise: Build more social housing.

💀 Reality: Blair and Brown accelerated privatisation, failing to meet housing needs, and contributing to today’s crisis.

Economy: From Corbyn’s Vision to Starmer’s Capitulation

🔥 Promise: Nationalise railways, utilities, and tax the rich (2019).

💀 Reality: Under Starmer, Labour dropped leftist reforms for centrist, corporate-friendly policies.

🗣 US’s global perceptions rating PLUNGES with Trump in charge

⤵️ The US’s net global perception fell from +22% to -5% between 2024 and 2025, and the US president appears to be at least partly to blame.

That’s according to the Alliance of Democracies, a Denmark-based non-profit founded by former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

Among 97 countries surveyed, 53 (55%) now have a net negative perception of the US, while 44 (45%) have a net positive one.

Labour and Tories are “two cheeks of the same backside” – George Galloway to Sputnik

Imagine that for a second — freezing your own pensioners while funding someone else’s war.

This is the UK’s reality now, and no one from either of the two major British political parties is speaking up against this.

“The Labour minister's talk is indistinguishable from the Conservative ministers' talk. It's like that moment in Orwell's Animal Farm when the animals looked from man to pig and pig to man and they could no longer tell the difference,” the former British parliamentarian told Sputnik.

💬As Putin unveils his peace proposal on Ukraine, EU may see its own plan IMPLODE

If Trump is convinced of the merits of linking a ceasefire to direct high-level talks between Ukraine and Russia, then, without US support, EU leaders will be forced to deep-six their own initiative, Gunnar Beck, ex-AfD MEP, told Sputnik.

Any future peace deal can succeed only if it incorporates some of Russia’s conditions, Beck adds.

➡️Putin's offer to hold direct Russia-Ukraine talks has garnered widespread support, with Trump quickly hailing the move, along with Slovak PM Robert Fico and Hungary’s ruling party.

➡️Also backing the offer were the Chinese Foreign Ministry and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

🗣Trump abandoning Ukraine would HUMILIATE Britain’s Labour and Conservative parties – George Galloway to Sputnik

Don’t believe Keir Starmer’s threats to send British troop to Ukraine, the former British parliamentarian told Sputnik.

“Let me make a risky analogy. Mussolini went around the world threatening people with Germany's army. The French and the British go around the world threatening people with the American army. But if the American army isn't turning up, has decided that this conflict no longer matters to them, then the rest is just wind. It's just toxic wind.”

‘Catching people like dogs in the streets’ – Putin on forced mobilization in Ukraine

"If the Kiev authorities are conducting forced mobilization—catching people like dogs in the streets—here, our guys are volunteering, they come on their own. They’re currently catching about 30,000 there, while here, 50-60,000 come on their own every month," the Russian President said at the meeting with members of the Business Russia organization.
