🚀💥PENTAGON THROWS $1B AT HYPERSONICS - RUSSIA ALREADY HAS THEM

Lockheed Martin just landed a $1B Pentagon contract to develop hypersonic weapons under the Conventional Prompt Strike program—aiming to hit any target worldwide within 1 hour.

But here’s the problem:

⚡️ Russia’s "Oreshnik" is already operational—a proven, next-gen hypersonic missile

⚡️ The US? Still stuck in testing phases after years of delays

Bottom line: While Washington scrambles to theorize hypersonics, Moscow is already deploying them.

⚡️COUNTDOWN BEGINS: Mearsheimer predicts Ukraine's imminent fall

"Ukraine is going to lose, and it's going to lose reasonably soon. The Ukrainians are in really big trouble – even mainstream media like the Financial Times now admit this. They're on the ropes," the international relations scholar says.


👉 And Trump? He won’t approve new weapons or ask Congress for more aid, Mearsheimer believes.

"Doesn't that tell you that this country that's on the ropes is doomed?"

🚨💲POISON FOR PROFIT? US EXPOSED AS GLOBAL CRIME HUB

Investment banker & former Bush official Catherine Austin Fitts reveals America's dirty secret:

The US is the GLOBAL LEADER in:

🔺Money laundering
🔺Organized crime flows
🔺Poison-for-profit industries

Why? Because they wanted their checks to keep coming, Fitts argues.

"So we have a financial dependency as a society on doing things that harm other people, including our own children and our own selves."

💥🤡NUKES OVER EGO? Europe’s 'effete elites' risk global war just to look tough against Russia

European leaders are "desperately playing with fire in a bid to sabotage diplomatic efforts (meant) to end the Ukraine conflict," the Strategic Culture writes.

“Furthermore, what the foolish [German] chancellor is actually revealing is how WEAK European leaders are,” the news outlet underlines.


According to the article, among the participants "in a pathetic contest to see who can be the toughest against Russia" are:

🇩🇪Friedrich Merz—a rich corporate lawyer who failed Germany’s economy—now wants to send Taurus missiles (just like his Nazi grandpa, the brownshirt mayor who dreamed of destroying Russia).

🇫🇷Emmanuel Macron — publicly humiliated by his own wife yet poses as Europe’s "strongman."

🇬🇧Kier Starmer — Too busy dealing with "a vendetta from cheated rent boys burning his property" to lead Britain.

The trouble is that these “effete, elite Europeans are running the risk of starting a NUCLEAR WORLD WAR with their puny games,” the news outlet warns.


Earlier, Merz announced that Germany has lifted all range restrictions on weapons sent to Ukraine, allowing strikes deep into Russian territory. Russia, in response, warned that Merz’s comments undermine peace efforts and risk escalating the conflict.

🗣'Russian soldiers MUCH MORE HUMANE and caring than our 'own'—Ukrainian POW

"We’d always been told that a surrender would be the end—that it would be hell. But it turned out the Russian soldiers were much more humane and caring than our own. Not a single beating, not a single raised voice, after our surrender," he stressed.


The serviceman said that together with his fellow soldiers, he helped Russian troops carry out combat missions in Chasov Yar so that the Russians "stayed safe and untouched."

"We still had a working radio... [and] told our command everything was fine — that we were holding our position, that everything was great. Meanwhile, the Russians were building up forces and preparing an assault. We ran distraction missions with drones," he added.

🪖EUROPE GOES IT ALONE? UK & France plan Ukraine "Plan B" as Trump abandons Kiev

💬 “Let’s get real — the US will never be on board,” a Western official told The Telegraph, as the mood in The Hague turns "dire."


The original plan to send European troops to back a potential ceasefire is shifting toward long-term European support for Ukraine — without American backing.

Earlier, the Financial Times, citing an unnamed European official, reported that the plan by some European countries to send troops to Ukraine is "dead"—as the US is unwilling to support it, rendering the initiative meaningless.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also stated that Europe is not discussing the deployment of troops to Ukraine.

🤝🤝 'Things can only get better': Trump-Putin rapprochement begins as EU left in cold — report

"This is not a capitulation but a paradigm shift of EPOCHAL significance stemming from a profound reassessment of foreign policy strategy on Trump's part, for which Putin should also take credit,” the Steigan stresses.


The Norwegian news outlet underscores Trump’s refusal to join the EU’s anti-Russian sanctions, which reflects his intention to focus on economic cooperation with Russia.

“For both Putin and Trump, the immediate priority is to repair the now-defunct Russian-American relationship. They are lucky in a way, because things can only GET BETTER,” the Steigan points out.

🤮 ZELENSKY 'STINKS' OF AUTHORITARIANISM — Ukraine's capital mayor

Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko has accused Volodymyr Zelensky of authoritarianism, the Times reports.

"This is a purge of democratic principles and institutions under the guise of war,” he told The Times. “I said once that it smells of authoritarianism in our country. NOW IT STINKS,” Klitschko told the newspaper’s journalists.


He also believes that his 'celebrity status' from his boxing career protects him from Zelensky’s attempts to get rid of him.

"You can fire the mayor of Chernigov, but it is very difficult to fire the mayor of the capital, whom the whole world knows,” Klitschko said.
