🚨🔍US calls out EU for PLAYING FAVORITES in Poland’s nail-biter presidential runoff

The US has accused the European Commission of turning a blind eye to what they claim is election meddling that favors liberal candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.

Brian Mast, top House Foreign Affairs Republican, has fired off a scathing letter to EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, warning of “serious concerns” about threats to Poland’s democracy.

🔹 A Polish NGO with ties to US Democratic Party megadonor George Soros facilitated a social media campaign featuring $105,000 worth of allegedly illegal political ads promoting Trzaskowski while discrediting his rivals.

🔹 Monthslong refusal to comply with court orders to release public funding to the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party

💬 “These actions, occurring under the European Commission’s watch, expose a troubling double-standard in the EU’s approach to Poland’s rule of law, which demands your urgent attention,” the letter states, also requesting a briefing on the matter.


Polish voters hit the polls on June 1 for the election runoff between Trzaskowski, backed by PM Donald Tusk, and conservative Karol Nawrocki, who has accused "European elites" of contributing to the Ukraine conflict.

Poland’s runoff is razor-thin – is the EU quietly setting the stage for its pick?

🇷🇺🇨🇳Lavrov: Russia-China ties much more advanced form of interaction than the classical unions of the past

🗣Russian FM spox: ‘Militarization of Europe’? West’s new buzzword

The entire “Western Brussels-based brotherhood” seems to be obsessed with it, and can’t stop talking war, Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.

She also roasted German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for his recent remarks on scrapped range restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons against Russia, casting doubt on his mandate.

💬 “Was he speaking as Germany’s leader? Or as a politician seeking to reaffirm himself after, pardon me, failing to secure approval for his position during his first try?” quipped the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.

🇩🇪💅Germany HYPOCRISY 101: No guns for Israel in Gaza, but Ukraine gets a free pass?

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has suddenly discovered a strong moral compass, warning Israel that Germany won’t be sending any weapons that might be used in Gaza—because, of course, that would be a violation of humanitarian law.

➡️This comes hot on the heels of 🗣 Chancellor Friedrich Merz declaring that Israel's airstrikes in Gaza are no longer “justified” or “comprehensible.”

Odd how that sharp moral clarity seems to disappear when Germany gives a free pass to Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles.

Selective outrage?

Zelensky drops drone swarm on Russia, then asks for peace talks in any format🤡

After unleashing nearly 300 drones in a single night, Ukraine’s Zelensky has dusted off his peace talk noscript. Now he says he is ready to negotiate with Russia “anywhere, anytime, in any format,” according to Ukrainian media reports.

💬 “Almost anywhere in the civilized world, we are ready to meet with Russia,” Zelensky was cited as saying, with US and European mediation welcome, of course.


Belarus was rejected as a platform because allegedly "missiles were flying from there." Ukraine wants "neutral platforms" – Turkiye, the Vatican, or Switzerland.

➡️Meanwhile, the toll from a week of Ukraine’s attacks on civilian targets in Russia stands at nine civilians killed and 117 injured, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry's ambassador-at-large on the crimes of the Ukraine regime, Rodion Miroshnik.

🚨Israel preps for STRIKES while Trump teases Iran deal

Israel notified the Trump administration in early May that it was preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, The New York Times reports.

🟠Netanyahu may order a strike on Iran even if the US makes a deal with the Islamic Republic, insiders told the outlet.

🟠There has been at least one tense phone call between Trump and Netanyahu, plus a blitz of meetings between US and Israeli officials in recent days, they claimed.

🟠The US president recently teased that “something good” might be brewing from his efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions—hinting at news within “the next two days.”

🟠But insiders downplayed the hype, saying the best outcome would be a vague statement of principles—while core issues like Iran’s uranium enrichment are being kicked down the road yet again.

🚨💬 “In Moscow's corridors of power, they're discussing: if German soldiers use German weapons to strike Moscow (and allowing 'Taurus' missile attacks can only mean this, since Ukraine can neither maintain them nor program flight missions), then we'll have no choice but to strike Berlin," Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya media group (Sputnik's parent company) and RT, said.

🚨 IF THEY STRIKE WITH TAURUS — RUSSIA'S NEXT TARGET WILL BE GERMAN MILITARY FACILITY: EXPERT

Ukraine does NOT have the technical capability to operate Taurus missiles on its own. Without German military specialists on the ground, these missiles are useless. This means Bundeswehr soldiers would directly participate in combat against Russia, says Igor Korotchenko, military analyst and editor-in-chief of “National Defense”.

💬 “Giving Taurus missiles to Ukraine’s terrorist Zelensky regime—and their use against Russia means Germany is officially at war with Russia. For the 3rd time [in history], Germany becomes a world war instigator.”


ORESHNIK MAY COME IN HANDY

Regardless of whether Ukraine’s Taurus strikes are intercepted or hit targets, Russia’s task is to “retaliate with 2 Oreshnik complexes — medium-range ballistic missiles carrying 12 hypersonic warheads in total, conventionally armed.”

"Such a strike would target the missile production plant in Germany for total destruction.”

💬
“If Ukraine continues using Taurus missiles against us, the next German military or industrial facility will be destroyed. We do not want war, we want peace. But under the UN Charter, we will act in self-defense.”
