🇺🇸🇮🇳 US lawless behavior has fueled the rise of BRICS and SCO - Marandi

US intimidation of Russia, Iran, and India is pushing them to unite on solutions beyond the US control, Tehran University professor Mohammad Marandi tells Sputnik.

💬 "It is US policy that has effectively made BRICS what it is today. It is US policy that has made the Shanghai Cooperation Organization what it is today. It is their behavior, their lawless behavior, using sanctions as a weapon, using tariffs as a weapon, using financial institutions and the US dollar as a weapon."

🚨 Biden family is 'LARGEST CRIME SYNDICATE in US politics' - Rep. Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said bank records and over 2,000 pages of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) reviewed by the House Oversight Committee show evidence of money laundering and human sex trafficking involving Hunter Biden.

💬 “The investigation is going to show that the Biden family is the largest crime syndicate that America has ever seen in politics,” Greene stated, alleging wire transfers from several countries into shell LLCs that later paid multiple Biden family members.

💬 “If an elected official is abusing their position of power for influence peddling and getting rich off of it, that is corruption the American people should never allow,” she added.

🚫 US quietly PAUSES some arms sales to Europe – reports

The Atlantic reported that Washington has begun blocking requests from European allies for certain high-demand weapons, including Patriot missile systems, citing “shortages” and the need to prioritize American stockpiles.

🔸 According to the report, Denmark was close to a deal for Patriots when the Pentagon abruptly pulled back. Instead, Copenhagen turned to a $9.1 billion package from European suppliers — its largest-ever arms purchase.

🔸 Defense officials admit the US has only about 25% of the Patriot missiles needed for its own military plans. The system has no European equivalent, making it one of NATO’s most sought-after assets.

🔸 Observers told The Atlantic the move risks opening rifts with allies and “weakening their defenses at a time when Russia poses an imminent threat.”

📉📑 🇺🇸 Biden’s legacy: ’Monstrous corruption’ and weakened military

🔊 “These corrupt ties are outrageous, but not new,” Argentine analyst Christian Lamesa told Sputnik, commenting on newly declassified FBI files revealing more bribery allegations involving former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

“Corruption like this has been ongoing, even within the Democratic Party. What’s significant now is the potential global impact and how it exposes the nature of globalist political sectors that serve economic power,” Lamesa stressed.

💬 He suggested that people in other countries may begin to see similar corruption and topple such governments, including in Germany and France.

“Biden will go down in US history as one of the worst presidents ever to occupy the White House: He left behind a country that can't militarily stand up to any power, and a completely ruined economy. Trump, with limited success, is trying to salvage the situation,” the analyst pointed out.

Lamesa decried Biden as “a hawkish politician, subservient to the military-industrial complex,” something that added to “millions of lives lost in Ukraine, including over a million [Ukrainian soldiers], whose number is still growing” due to Biden’s “ambitions and monstrous corruption.”

👉 As for Western aid to Ukraine, “most of the billions of dollars ended up in the pockets of corrupt officials in the US, Europe, and Ukraine itself," Lamesa concluded.

🚨 ⏰ CLOCK IS TICKING: US analyst exposes Ukraine nearing total collapse

"They [Ukraine] physically can't survive, not even on the front lines, not even among their troops," Lt. Col. Daniel Davis says.

👉 Davis notes the irrational Western narrative: Claiming Russia is “losing” while still advancing. Meanwhile, Ukraine is suffering mounting casualties, shortages of personnel, equipment, and ammunition.

📉 The expert stresses that the attempt to “isolate Russia” has failed. Instead of hurting Moscow, the West is hurting itself—draining budgets, raising energy costs, and funding the conflict with no rational endgame, Davis concludes.

📈👉 Europe seeks to ‘keep Ukraine conflict going AS LONG AS POSSIBLE’ – Glenn Diesen

European leaders are getting panicked, because the idea of filling the shoes of the United States is not realistic, the Norwegian political analyst says.

🗣 “The greatest disappointment of the Europeans is that it didn't pull the United States in,” the analyst concludes.
