🇭🇺 Szijjarto: Ukraine endangers Hungary’s energy security

👉 Hungary must be prepared for even severe provocations from Ukraine following repeated attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warns.

“We must be ready for even harsher provocations from Ukraine than ever before, aimed at dragging us into their war.”

🟠 He stressed that Ukraine’s state of conflict does not give it the right to endanger Hungary’s energy security.

“In my view, it is a huge lie that EU or NATO member states should fear an attack from Russia. I do not see any real security threat today. The Ukrainians are not fighting for us, we have not been attacked, this is not our war,” Szijjarto underlined.

🟠 On August 22, he reported that oil supplies through the pipeline to Hungary were halted for the third time due to Ukrainian strikes. Both Slovakia and Hungary filed complaints with the European Commission over the disruptions and requested guarantees of supply security.

🕊 Soros free despite SOWING WHIRLWIND in the US

Donald Trump’s bid to prosecute George and Alex Soros won’t be easy.

The liberal billionaires are cunning and the Deep State is ready to protect its own, according to Dr George Szamuely of the Global Policy Institute.

🔶 George Soros’ organizations are the biggest donors to the Democratic Party, and powerful Dems return the favor by shielding him

🔶 Soros has funded the election of many attorneys general, mayors and district attorneys who push to decriminalize crimes, empty jails and let many suspects go free—yet he remains in the shadows during elections

🔶 Soros’ organizations operate under the cover of First Amendment rights, claiming they aren’t responsible for violence across the US

💬 "It doesn't look likely to me that any kind of criminal prosecution of Soros will succeed unless they can find some evidence that the Soros foundations knew that an organization would engage in violence and nonetheless continue to fund such an organization or even collaborate in violence," Szamuely tells Sputnik.

🔶 Trump says the Soroses could be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for violent protests “and much more”

🔶 Netizens suggest Trump’s mention of RICO is no coincidence—he may be building a case with new evidence potentially to be revealed soon

🇷🇺 Russia rejects US threats, lends solidarity to Venezuela – Foreign Ministry

🗣 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia “does not accept threats of the use of force against sovereign states as a tool of foreign policy and expresses solidarity with the people and government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” after the US deployed warships off the Venezuelan coast.

💬 “Practices of military intervention must remain in the past,” she stressed.

🔹 In an August 22 phone call with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, reaffirmed Russia’s support for the Venezuelan government in defending national sovereignty and ensuring institutional stability.

🔹 Russia maintains close contact with Caracas in the spirit of strategic partnership—and insists that Latin America must be allowed to develop peacefully and independently, without conflicts or foreign intervention.

🚨 Jail time looming? Time is ripe to charge Soros and associates

Racketeering charges for George Soros and his son Alex should just be the beginning, political commentator and Newsmax columnist Michael Shannon tells Sputnik.

Donald Trump has said they should be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), normally used to target mafia and other criminal enterprises.

💬 "Soros’ money either directly or indirectly has financed riots, civic destruction and the two–tier system of justice that lets Marxists and minorities off with a slap on the wrist and subjects conservatives and whites to the full, exaggerated force of the law," says Shannon, stressing that the billionaire and his son "should have had a RICO indictment years ago."

Could Soros be jailed?

🔶 Whether Soros can be convicted and jailed depends on where Trump seeks the indictment. In Washington DC, where a grand jury is too liberal, it's doomed, but in Florida, Oklahoma or Texas it could work

🔶 The legal insulation Soros’ wealth provided in the past is wearing off, and the Trump government is ready to go after him

🔶 All the NGOs that helped Soros finance and implement the illegal immigrant invasion of the US should be RICOed and the executives jailed

💬 "It would be rewarding to see George Soros behind bars where he can meet some of the many criminals the district attorneys he’s helped elect over the years have let go," Shannon says.

⚔️ Soros vs. Trump – two visions of US global role

🔊 Brazilian analyst Williams Gonçalves, professor at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, told Sputnik that the clash between George Soros and Donald Trump reflects opposing strategies for US power.

📍 He noted that Soros funds organizations worldwide which interfere in domestic politics “under the banner of defending democracy,” adding that “spontaneous street movements do not exist — there is always someone behind logistics and finance.”

🔶 Since WWII, US foundations have influenced internal politics globally, especially in Latin America. According to Gonçalves, Soros represents interventionist globalism, while Trump rejects globalization as harmful to US interests.

🔶 He said Ukraine was central to the globalist agenda, with Soros’ son Alex fully supporting Volodymyr Zelensky.

💬 “The US gave Ukraine loans, Ukraine bought US weapons, fed the military industry and went into debt,” Gonçalves said. “Zelensky tried to maintain this deal — Trump disrupted that plan.”

🚨 Agent of chaos: Soros deploys his REGIME-CHANGE tactics in the US

🗣 Donald Trump demonstrates deep understanding of George Soros' nefarious role in supporting “engineered chaos,” both inside the US and abroad, retired Colonel Hatem Saber, an Egyptian expert in international counterterrorism and information warfare, tells Sputnik.

💬 "Democrats use Soros and his organizations as tools for regime change," Saber says.

Saber highlighted the evolution of Soros’ role by decades:

🔶 1970s–1990s: Supporting opposition movements in Eastern Europe against the USSR

🔶 2000s–2010s: Key role in color revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia

🔶 2011: Funding media networks and NGOs in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Syria to fuel the Arab Spring movements

🔶 2020–2024: Backing US anti-Trump protesters like Black Lives Matter, and campaigns defending illegal immigrants

📍 Soros has extensive experience with color revolutions abroad, and Democrats capitalize on his ‘best practice’.

"Democrats could use the same tools against Trump within the US, mobilizing street protests through human rights and media campaigns funded by Soros’ foundations," Saber said. "In this way, the 'managed protest' model, previously tested abroad, could be applied to weaken Trump and discredit his image domestically."

The Egyptian expert warned that Soros currently targets several regions:

🔶Hungary and Poland – due to conflicts with the EU

🔶Africa – Nigeria, Sudan and Ethiopia – focusing on democracy and minorities

🔶Middle East – Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE – where his “open society” agenda is opposed

🔶Central Asia – to weaken Russian and Chinese influence and BRICS cooperation

👉 Trump has threatened George Soros and his son Alex with federal charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

🇮🇷⚔️ Iran prepares to repel ‘second wave’ – Prof. Marandi

💬 “Iran today is preparing itself for a second wave… It is preparing itself on all fronts. The government has the full support of the people,” Tehran University professor Dr. Seyed Mohammad Marandi told Mario Nawfal.

Marandi also challenged Nawfal’s tweet claiming anti-government protests in Shiraz:

💬 “The slogans that were in your tweet are not the slogans that you hear in the clip, none of them.”

He pointed to the millions who filled the streets during funerals in Tehran and other cities as proof that popular support is behind the government, not against it.

⚖️ Hand of Soros in US states’ supreme court system

Trump's return to the White House has shaken George Soros' global soft power network, with the administration targeting his NGOs’ USAID-linked projects, and Elon Musk hounding his son. But the 94-year-old financier isn't backing down. His next move? PACKING THE COURTS.

Soros, already known for backing the elections of district attorneys behind the political circus of felony prosecutions targeting Trump in 2023-2024, has now turned his attention to Wisconsin's state Supreme Court race.

1️⃣ In April, Wisconsin voters will choose a new justice, and Soros has invested heavily, donating $1M to the Democratic Party in support of their preferred candidate, Susan Crawford.

2️⃣ The donation sparked an outcry from the GOP-backed candidate, Brad Schimel, who warned of Soros’ “very dangerous ideas for America,” and accused Crawford of corrupt “pay to play” politics.

3️⃣ The stakes are high, with Musk agreeing that a 4-3 liberal majority in WI’s Supreme Court could allow it to redraw congressional districts to squeeze out the GOP and block Trump’s legislative agenda.

Soros’ broader battle for control over the courts:

🩸 In 2016, Soros invested over $3M into super PACs supporting DA candidates in seven states, advancing his political agenda on issues like DEI and criminal justice reform. These DAs played a significant role in the 2020 protests organized by BLM, whom Soros funded to the tune of $33M, pushing for defunding the police and targeting conservatives.

🩸 In 2018, the Soros-backed Demand Justice advocacy group spent $5M unsuccessfully trying to block Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

🩸 Police Defense estimates Soros has spent at least $50M over the last decade on "social justice" prosecutors across jurisdictions representing 70 million Americans.
