📹 ICC: Global justice or political weapon?

The International Criminal Court claims to uphold justice — but why does it only target leaders from the Global South, while turning a blind eye to Western crimes?

Kevin Ferdinand Ndjimba (African Union International Law Commission) says:

"The good feelings that led to the creation of the International Criminal Court have faded a little. The debate today is about reforming the ICC so it can be seen as fair to all states..."


"Africa's voice must be heard to ensure criminal justice is applied equally. What’s right must be right for everyone," Ndjimba adds.

🚨 ‘SATANISM IS FLOURISHING IN UKRAINE’ – Former Ukrainian MP

💬 “In Parliament, a law has been passed which actually, in fact, BANS the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. So our archbishops are subjected to persecution. There are completely false criminal cases opened up against them. Our parishioners — beaten. Our churches — taken away,” former Verkhovna Rada member Vadym Novynskyi told Tucker Carlson.


💬 “Despite the fact that it's the largest denomination and that 95–97% voted for Zelensky as the ‘president of peace’, he is doing this to our church. He's persecuting and oppressing our church,” Novynskyi said.

🚨 US authorizes transactions with Syria as part of SANCTIONS RELIEF – Treasury

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued Syria General License (GL) 25, authorizing transactions with the Syrian government and a number of previously blocked individuals and entities — including the country’s central bank, gas and oil companies, and shipping firms.

The Treasury described the move as “just one part” of a broader US effort to dismantle the full sanctions framework imposed on Syria.

At the same time, the license does not authorize any transactions “for or on behalf of” Russia, Iran, or North Korea, or any transfers of goods and services involving those countries, the statement clarified.

🚨 BlackRock cries ‘Not Us!’ as states allege coal collusion

The US DOJ and FTC just threw weight behind a lawsuit by Texas and 12 states accusing BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street of conspiring to stifle coal competition.

Billionaires blame back:

🔸 BlackRock: "This case is trying to re-write antitrust law and is based on an absurd theory... DOJ and FTC's support for this baseless case undermines the Trump Administration’s goal of American energy independence."

🔸 State Street: "Baseless. We look forward to presenting the facts through the legal process."

🔸 Vanguard: While critical of the DOJ/FTC’s legal take, it "appreciates" their nod to passive investing & shareholder advocacy.

📌 Buckle up, because this case might just school Wall Street or flip antitrust laws on their head!

💸 TRUMP CASUALLY ADMITS WHO PAYS THE TARIFFS

🗣 Sometimes Walmart will eat it, and sometimes there'll be something to pay, something extra, Trump said, when asked if US companies — not China — pay the price.

👁 NATION UNDER WATCH: Biden admin labeled COVID mandate opponents as potential extremists – DNI Gabbard

💬 “While some of the examples that are focused on there have to do with those who opposed the COVID vaccine mandates, those who opposed the mask mandates,” Gabbard said, citing Biden-era policy.


💬 "People who were opposed to Biden's border policy, for example, could therefore have propensities to join a militia or could become these domestic violent extremists," she added.


📑 The declassified documents, according to Gabbard, show the Biden administration flagging Americans for their political views — linking dissent to potential violence under the guise of national security.

🥴💸 From ally to obstacle: EU tariffs threaten Ukraine’s economy

The EU’s decision to reinstate tariffs on Ukrainian goods could slash exports by 70% this year and push Ukraine to the brink of recession, Dmytro Natalukha, head of Ukraine’s parliamentary economic committee, said.

“This could create an idiotic situation where we will be forced to come and beg you [the EU] for money, instead of simply earning money through trade [...] Ukraine is being pushed to become a beggar,” the politician stressed.


Kiev fears this move will cripple its economy and ability to fund the war effort. While the EU introduced duty-free access in 2022, backlash from European farmers—especially near the Ukrainian border—led to new quotas on sensitive products like eggs, poultry, sugar, and grain.

Here's the trick: tariffs speak louder than slogans 😉

💥Putin needed JUST 2 HOURS to tutor Trump on who has UPPER HAND in Ukraine conflict - former CIA analyst

During a recent phone call, the Russian president lectured the US counterpart on “what’s at stake here [in Ukraine] and who has the upper hand,” Ray McGovern stressed.

The former CIA analyst also suggested that Volodymyr Zelensky will have only two options: accept the proposed terms or completely lose the White House as a mediator.

“Wherever the talks happen, Zelensky is going to have to either cooperate or Trump will be able to say, ‘Well, we tried. You’re on your own. You think the Europeans can help you? Good luck with that. I’m out of here,” McGovern concluded.

🚨 TRUMP’S 50% TARIFF THREAT: EU ON BRINK OF TRADE WAR

The US president has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on European imports starting June 1, sparking fresh tensions amid frustrations within his economic team over the EU’s slow and cautious trade approach, the WSJ writes.

Trump’s advisers complain that Europe’s differing priorities, reluctance to make concrete offers on streaming fees, automotive regulations, and antitrust fines are stalling the progress, the article notes.

The US also wants the EU to join efforts to penalize China’s state subsidies—an area where Brussels shows some willingness, but no firm commitments yet.

Trump’s love language? Tariffs and trade wars, naturally

🌍💰 De-Dollarization accelerates: Qatar & Hong Kong push yuan as dollar alternative

Mary Huen Wai-yi, Chairwoman of Hong Kong’s Banking Association, spills the tea: global businesses are RUNNING from the dollar and jumping on China’s yuan.

Qatar’s top players are already using Hong Kong’s financial “toolbox” to make deals, payments, and investments in RMB, the South China Morning Post writes.

🔹 Hong Kong’s growing offshore yuan market and fintech innovation make it a prime global RMB hub.
🔹 The US-China trade war and recent US debt rating downgrade accelerate global “de-dollarization.”
🔹 Cross-border yuan settlements hit record highs; yuan edges closer to challenging the euro in trade finance.

Experts say Hong Kong’s unique position and expanding yuan products create huge opportunities — while the US dollar’s dominance is showing signs of slipping.

🇷🇺💥 RUSSIA’S SU-57 LEVELS UP AS AI TAKES PILOT’S SEAT

The Su-57 fifth-generation fighter has been equipped with AI, which is actually the warplane’s co-pilot, a spokesperson for Russia’s Rosoboronexport arms exporter told Sputnik.

Why is AI needed?

🟠“The system is designed to provide a pilot with prompts in specific situations and tactical moments.”

🟠AI assists the pilot by taking on some tasks during routine flights, such as navigation along route points and management of flight systems.

🟠It allows the pilot to focus during combat on more important tasks, such as weapon deployment.

🟠“The decision to use weapons remains with the pilot,” the spokesperson stressed.
