🇾🇪🇮🇱 Houthis hit Israel with 14 missiles & drones in one week

“This week, we have carried out military operations [against the Israeli foe], using 14 hypersonic and ballistic missiles and drones,” Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi announced on Yemeni television.


The Houthis have been carrying attacks against targets in Israel and against Israeli-linked cargo vessels in protest against Israel’s brutal military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

Some of these missile strikes have also successfully bypassed sophisticated Israeli- and US-made missile defense systems such as the vaunted THAAD.

Despite Israel’s indiscriminate retaliatory strikes against civilian targets in Yemen, the Houthis refuse to bow to Tel Aviv’s intimidation tactics and seem intent to keep attacking Israeli interests for as long as the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip continues.

🔍 Could untouchable Lagarde take over the WEF?

The European Central Bank (ECB) president is reportedly considering filling the shoes of former World Economic Forum (WEF) head Klaus Schwab.

Though the ECB insists she’s committed to finishing her term, let’s take a closer look at this potential WEF wannabe.

Convicted in 2016

🔸Despite her polished image and disciplined style, Christine Lagarde’s record isn’t spotless.

🔸As IMF chief, she was found guilty in 2016 by a special French court for negligence over a 2008 decision as finance minister.

🔸Back in 2008 she chose not to challenge an arbitration that handed €400M ($459M) to businessman Bernard Tapie — sparking outrage and suspicion.

🔸Was she punished? Not really. No fine, no jail, and no criminal record. The court cited her "international reputation" as grounds for leniency.

🔸The conviction didn’t stop her 2019 appointment to the ECB, though it drew criticism.

Controversies throughout her career

🔸In 2007, Lagarde told French citizens hit by fuel hikes to "switch to bicycles," earning Marie Antoinette comparisons.

🔸At the IMF, she backed strict Eurozone austerity and resisted Greek debt relief amid deep public backlash.

🔸As ECB chief, she downplayed inflation in 2021–2022 as a "transitory," only to later hike rates sharply — leaving European economies reeling.

100% globalist

🔸Lagarde is a regular WEF speaker and a vocal advocate for globalist causes: climate policy, gender diversity, and globalization.

🔸With views closely aligned to Schwab’s, she would make a fitting successor.

🚨EXPOSED: The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) - a Pentagon-funded disinformation factory

The "non-profit" Institute for the Study of War (ISW) launders defense contractor cash into war-justifying disinformation, journalist and founder of Crowdsource the Truth Jason Goodman tells Sputnik, commenting on ISW's Ukraine conflict coverage.

What does ISW say?

🔸Reporting Ukrainian weakness is just Russian "disinformation"

🔸Hit Russia harder and surge military production. Why? Because Russia seeks to "destroy NATO"

Who funds ISW?

🔸Weapons-maker General Dynamics
🔸Defense tech firm Avantus (now QinetiQ)
🔸Global defense & intel contractor CACI International and many others

"[ISW] collected over $9 million in revenue [in 2023] alone — nearly all of it from undisclosed donors — and paid [founder] Kimberly Kagan herself over a quarter million dollars to peddle war escalation narratives under the banner of 'trusted analysis'," Goodman says.


The Kagan dynasty: Architects of forever wars

🔸ISW was founded in 2007 by Kimberly Kagan, the wife of neocon scholar Frederick W. Kagan, a co-author of ISW bellicose reports.

🔸His brother is Robert Kagan, advocate of US militarism and spouse of Victoria Nuland - the architect of the Ukraine crisis.

ISW's focus on Ukraine is hardly surprising given the Nuland-Kagan family's role in the Ukraine 2014 coup.

"Nuland’s fingerprints are all over the Ukraine crisis. She didn't just observe the Maidan uprising — she orchestrated it," Goodman stresses.


ISW’s "analysis" whitewashes this history, framing every Russian response as "unprovoked aggression" while ignoring a decade of NATO expansion, political meddling, and arming of Ukraine, according to the pundit.

🇷🇸🇷🇺 Vucic, Putin discussed reports of Serbian arms supply to Ukraine on May 9 — Serbian President

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday that his conversation with Putin included reports of Serbian arms shipments to Ukraine.

💬 “I would not disclose the details of our conversation. Here, we have formed a working group together with our Russian partners to establish the facts,” Vucic said.


💬 “I will give instructions that, where there is suspicion of abuse in connection with the end user and the shipment of weapons to the front, and this is confirmed, such contracts should not be implemented, as I have already done in relation to the Yugoimport SDPR company, with which the contracts were the largest,” he added.


Earlier, Russian Foreign Intelligence reported that Serbian arms manufacturers had sent hundreds of thousands of artillery and MLRS shells, plus a million small arms rounds, to Ukraine — despite Belgrade’s declared neutrality.

🗣 Russia's NATO expansion concerns are 'FAIR' – Kellogg

💬 “Ukraine coming into NATO is not on the table,” US special envoy Keith Kellogg casually crushed Zelensky’s dreams.


💬 “That's a security concern for them,” Kellogg acknowledged.


Apparently, it only took three years of a NATO's proxy war for Washington’s warmongers to admit that Russia might have a point.
