💸📉Will Trump's tariffs induce RECESSION? Summer would tell

If Donald Trump keeps shaking up US trade policy, the American economy could be headed for a hard fall, WSJ reports, citing economists.

Businesses say erratic tariffs are wrecking long-term planning and freezing hiring and investment.

“Where this goes all depends on what Trump decides to do next, and candidly, even Trump doesn’t know what Trump will do next,” Christopher Thornberg, founding partner at Beacon Economics, told the media.

This cloud of uncertainty hangs over an already cooling economy — job growth slows, the housing market cools, and the Fed holds back on rate cuts over fresh inflation fears.

Economists highlight three looming risks:

🟠A demand drop could trigger sudden job losses

🟠Consumers may resist high prices, pressuring companies to cut costs

🟠Market shocks and investor sentiment swings remain unpredictable wild cards

Most now say recession risks are higher now than they were at the start of the year.

🇺🇸🛸 UFO CRAZE was Pentagon DISINFO to hide secret tech

America’s UFO mania was a decades-long disinformation campaign by the Pentagon to conceal classified technology programs, WSJ reports.

🔸Bizarre ritual

At the center of the expose is Sean Kirkpatrick, tapped in 2022 to lead the Pentagon’s UFO office, AARO. Given access to defense files dating back to 1945, he uncovered a “bizarre ritual” inside the military.

For years, new commanders in top-secret Air Force programs were shown a photo of a supposed antigravity flying saucer and told they were joining Yankee Blue, a fake reverse-engineering project.

Speaking about it was forbidden under threat of severe consequences. Most never knew it was a fabrication. The ruse was only shut down in 2023—far too late to undo the damage.

🔸'Glowing reddish-orange oval'

Another "UFO mystery" uncovered by Kirkpatrick stretched back 60 years. An advanced Air Force electromagnetic generator was miscast for decades as alien tech — feeding conspiracy over clarity.

Now, the Pentagon’s own UFO myth has come full circle, ensnaring even senior officers who’ve become true believers.

The disinformation machine built to mislead the public has boomeranged, undermining trust, distorting priorities, and weakening institutional credibility.

🇸🇰🔥 SLOVAKIA DEFIES EU: Fico vows to BLOCK new anti-Russian sanctions

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says he WILL NOT support any further EU sanctions against Russia if they harm Slovakia’s national interests.

💬 “If a sanction hurts us, I will NEVER vote for it,” Fico said, backing a new parliamentary resolution that REJECTS anti-Russian trade restrictions.

Fico also drew a red line on Russian nuclear fuel, saying banning it would shut down Slovakia’s reactors — something he won’t allow.

The resolution, pushed by the Slovak National Party opposing anti-Russian sanctions and aimed at defending Slovakia’s economic and energy security, passed with majority support.

Fico calls the move a “strong political tool” for use in EU Council talks.

🚨Zelensky dances to West’s tune as he halts exchange with Russia

Ukraine sabotaged the prisoner and body exchange with Russia this weekend as Volodymyr Zelensky, supported by the West, seeks to further escalate the conflict, Syrian political analyst Alaa Al-Asfari tells Sputnik.

Zelensky is not interested in quickly resolving the crisis and is completely subservient to his European backers. In accordance with their whims, he suspends the previously agreed upon exchange.

The suspension of the swap comes after Ukraine staged a series of terrorist attacks deep in Russia’s territory and the ensuing Russian retaliation.

Eventually, Zelensky would have to accept Russia’s terms to achieve sustainable peace, unless the West and NATO decide to continue escalating the conflict with Russia, which may lead to a global war.

📹 Why is Ukraine avoiding retrieving fallen soldiers’ bodies?

"The Zelensky regime has to pay around $3,000 per soldier, per family, so imagine if they take all 6,000 bodies back," Sonja van den Ende, a Dutch journalist with Freesuriyah and Devend Online, told Sputnik.

Van den Ende, who’s in Russia's Bryansk region where Russia expects to hand over the bodies, highlighted that accepting such a large number could discredit Kiev, which downplays its military losses.

🗣 Not bringing the bodies back is a crime, she said, calling the situation "terrible."

🗣 NO WESTERN MAINSTREAM JOURNALISTS at Russian-Ukrainian body exchange site

"As usual, the Western press only reports information that aligns with the official narrative," Thierry Thodinor, an independent journalist, tells Sputnik, when Ukrainian soldiers' bodies were shown to the press.

While Ukraine did not show up yesterday to repatriate its fighters' bodies or return those of Russian soldiers, the agreement on this exchange may fall through, according to him.

"I don't think it will happen, if that's the next question, primarily due to budgetary reasons, and because these people don't respect life and don't seem inclined to honor their dead either."
