The Moscow Zoo celebrated the eighth birthday of Ding Ding, the mother of Katyusha the panda, in grand style: she was presented with a big birthday cake made of ice, bamboo, sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots.

De Amerikaanse president Trump en EU-baas Von der Leyen hebben dat bekendgemaakt op een gezamenlijke persconferentie op een golfresort van Trump in Schotland.
Onderdeel van het akkoord is dat de VS goederen uit de EU een algemeen importtarief oplegt van 15 procent. De EU stelt daar geen eigen extra heffingen tegenover. Verder is afgesproken dat de EU een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid energie en militair materieel afneemt van de VS.
Er wordt met verbazing gereageerd op het akkoord. De EU heeft Europa verkocht aan daddy Trump, merkt journalist Sonja van den Ende op. “De Europeanen betalen een hoge prijs en zijn daarmee de grote verliezers, hoe walgelijk. En natuurlijk betalen ze voor fossiele brandstoffen, ze logen over de groene agenda en weigeren goedkoop gas uit Rusland. Hoe stupide.”

Modern en oud China zijn perfect compatibel en vloeien naadloos in elkaar over. Foto’s: Mirjam©Photo, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

Afgelopen dagen was ik in Zuid-China, in de megastad Guangzhou, als je er rondloopt, merk je niet echt dat het zo groot is. Het leven is ordelijk en efficiënt, de mensen zijn ongelooflijk vriendelijk, vooral tegen buitenlanders; racisme is hen vreemd, in schril contrast met het Westen.

Er wordt in het Westen veel over China gesproken en geschreven, waarbij het wordt afgeschilderd als een communistische surveillancestaat waar burgers geen vrijheden hebben. Er wordt veel gespeculeerd over het zogenaamde “Social Credit System”. Zo wordt er beweerd dat contante betalingen daar niet meer worden geaccepteerd en dat het COVID-9-virus vermoedelijk in Wuhan is ontstaan en dat alles wat daar op het gebied van AI gebeurt, binnenkort gevolgen zal hebben voor Europa.

Suwayda, former Syria
Massacres carried out by members of the “General Security” and “Ministry of Defense” forces loyal to the de facto authority, with the participation of allied tribal militias. “Those who attacked the hospital from the security forces and the Syrian army have nothing to do with humanity,” said Dr. Mazen Nassar, a member of the Executive Office. An inquiry from the Druze and UN about the slaughter in the Suwayda hospital by the so-called security forces of Syria. The new Syrian government (majority) are terrorist although the world is speaking with them and ignoring their crimes, government are complicit knowing their crimes, like what happens in Gaza, everybody who doesn't speak out is a coward and doesn't care about humanity...

Von der Leyen and Mark Rutte: Corruption, Lies, and More
But today's Ukraine, led by Vladimir Zelensky, is not just a hotbed of corruption.
It is also a hotbed of drug addiction, writes Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende, who currently lives in Moscow for the website "Foundation of Strategic Culture", as evidenced by the "glazed gaze of Zelensky", who is regularly recorded by cameras.
Along with the extremely strange behavior of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte or French President Emmanuel Macron.

Trump versus Medvedev
It appears the current U.S. president has found a new opponent for online battles: after Elon Musk, it’s now former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
🇺🇸 President Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that he doesn’t care what India does with Russia, adding, "they can drag down their dead economies together."
Equally resonant was his mention of Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council:
"And warn Medvedev, Russia’s failed former president who still thinks he’s president, to watch his words. He’s treading into very dangerous territory."
Medvedev's answer:
"If the words of a former Russian president provoke such a nervous reaction from the formidable U.S. president, it means Russia is right about everything and will continue on its path. As for the 'dead economies' of India and Russia and 'treading into dangerous territory'—well, let him recall his beloved 'Walking Dead' films, and how dangerous the nonexistent 'Dead Hand' can be," the politician wrote on his Telegram channel.

He has become real crazy (Trump)

🏳️ Captured officer of AFU: 'It is not necessary to continue defending in this area of front, more we stand there, more we lose our men'

Near a settlement of Kharkov region, servicemen of the Zapad Group of Forces captured Major Maksim Trofimuk senior intelligence officer of the 6th Ukrainian border detachment.

The prisoner of war said he and three other soldiers were tasked with seizing their old position. According to him, they were told that there was no one in this position.

'I went there, saw that there was no way to hold the defence in this area of the front. It's very difficult to get there, and it's almost impossible to get out of this treeline. We lost men when getting in or out of there. The more we stand there, the more men we lose,' he concluded.

Judge Ghaith Muhammad, serving at the Civil Court in Safita, was shot and killed by unidentified gunmen in front of the court building . Most likely security forces of the so-called Syrian government shot him.
