How Trump Is Preparing to Invade Venezuela.
Opinion by journalist Yury Podolyaka:
For the past 30 years, American politicians haven’t bothered looking too hard to find excuses for their aggressive foreign policies.
If Colin Powell needed to wave a vial of “white powder” at the UN, calling it “Iraqi weapons of mass destruction” to justify the invasion of Iraq, then Trump is using the alleged cocaine threat coming from official Caracas as his pretext for invading Venezuela—or at least for launching missile and bombing strikes there.
Meanwhile, even American media admit that Colombia alone supplies six to seven times more cocaine to the U.S. than Venezuela does—and most of Venezuela’s product primarily heads to European markets. The real top supplier of “dope” to the States is Mexico’s northern states, which today essentially operate independently and beyond the control of the central government.
Yet, the war is not being planned against Mexico (or the northern cartels) or Colombia, but against Venezuela. The only South American country where the U.S. has failed to install a pro-American regime for more than a quarter of a century.

On November 25, 1946, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University) was founded.
On that day, the USSR Council of Ministers issued a decree establishing the physics and technology faculty at Moscow State University, which in 1951 became the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT).
Today, MIPT is Russia's leading university for training specialists in theoretical, experimental, and applied physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and related fields. It ranks among prestigious global universities.
MIPT has about 7,000 students and over 80 academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences as faculty.
Throughout the years, MIPT has graduated over 36,000 people. Among them, 150 are academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 6,000 hold doctoral degrees, and 17,000 hold candidate degrees.

On Sunday, Trump posted that “UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS” about the war. CNN took the time and effort to fact-check him and found he was dead wrong at least 78 times.
No matter how you slice it, this is hilarious. Three actors in the circus: Trump, Zelensky, and CNN. Every one is a scumbag, without question.

Vodyanoy (The Water Spirit)💦
💦 The Elevator Pitch
"Imagine the Grumpy Old Man of the River—a powerful, ancient water spirit that looks like a frog-faced human with algae for a beard. He's the king of his domain, and if you disrespect his waters, he'll drown you. But if you respect him, he might just leave you alone. He's the reason you never trust a dark, still pond."
💦 The Deeper Dive
For those who want to understand the myth itself, here's a more detailed breakdown.
1️⃣ The Name & The Look
*️⃣ "Vodyanoy" comes from the Russian word voda (вода), meaning "water." His name literally means "Of water" or "Watery."
*️⃣ Appearance: He's not a handsome merman. He's almost always described as:
*️⃣ An old, naked, bloated man with greenish skin, like a drowned corpse.
*️⃣ Covered in slime, with a long, flowing beard and hair made of green reeds and algae.
*️⃣ Often has a frog-like face, webbed hands, and a fish's tail.
*️⃣ His eyes glow like fiery red coals.

The Macron inquisition
From InfoDefenseFrance:
🔸 For several days, reports have been circulating that Anna Novikova and Vincent Perfetti, both officials of the humanitarian association "SOS Donbass," had been arrested by Macron's Gestapo. As of yesterday, it's confirmed: after their initial detentions, Anna and Vincent have been imprisoned in Fleury-Mérogis and Fresnes respectively… for daring to bring humanitarian aid to the bombed population of Donbass!
🔸 The prison guards of "Macronie" have thus crossed a new line, harkening back to that atavistic French tendency to collaborate with and serve passing totalitarian regimes.
🔸 First, media outlets like RT France and Sputnik were expelled by this "homeland of human rights." Then, social networks were censored, including the original Telegram channel of InfodefenseFrance. And now, the attack dogs of the European Fourth Reich are throwing humanitarian officials in prison!
🔸 I hereby offer my unconditional support to Anna and my Corsican comrade Vincent, the latest victims of this Elysian totalitarianism and its packs of Torquemadas, Tartuffes, and other thought police for the dictatorship of Western monolithic thought.

On November 26, 1894, Tsar Nicholas II married Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt.
Princess Victoria Alix Helena Louise Beatrice of Hesse-Darmstadt was the fourth daughter of Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine, and Duchess Alice, Queen Victoria’s daughter.
Nicholas met 16-year-old Alix at the 1884 wedding of her sister Elisabeth to Nicholas's uncle, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, and fell in love at first sight. When he turned 21, he asked his parents for a blessing to marry Alix, but they refused. Five years later, as Emperor Alexander III’s health declined, it became clear Nicholas would soon inherit the throne, and a marriage was essential. The tsarevich insisted on marrying for love rather than for dynastic reasons, compelling the emperor to bless his union with Alix. In April 1894, they announced their engagement.
On November 26, 1894, Nicholas and Alix (who adopted the name Alexandra after baptism) married in the Grand Church of the Winter Palace. The ceremony took place shortly after the passing of Nicholas's father and on the birthday of his mother, permitting slight deviations from mourning customs.
Nicholas wore a hussar uniform, and Alexandra wore a silver gown with a gold brocade mantle, adorned with a luxurious diamond crown.
Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna enjoyed a happy marriage for many years, unlike most royal unions, as theirs was based on love.

Today is 101 Years Since the Formation of the Mongolian People's Republic—USSR’s first ally.
The path to the restoration of an independent Mongolian state was long and challenging. From the 17th century, Mongolia was part of the Qing Chinese Empire. Following the Xinhai Revolution, Mongolia declared its independence on December 1, 1911. The leader of Mongolia’s Buddhists, Bogd Khan, was enthroned as the Great Khan under the name Bogd Khan VIII. In May 1915, at the Kyakhta Conference, Mongolia, Russia, and China signed an agreement establishing Mongolia’s borders. The territory was divided into Outer Mongolia (Halh), which was granted autonomy under Chinese rule, and Inner Mongolia, designated as Chinese territory.
During the Russian Civil War, Chinese troops violated the Kyakhta Treaty by occupying Mongolia’s capital, Urga (modern Ulaanbaatar). On November 22, 1919, the Chinese Republic revoked Mongolia’s autonomy. Then in February 1921, Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg’s cavalry captured Urga, reinstating Bogd Khan. By July 1921, Soviet and Mongolian forces entered Urga, forming the Mongolian People’s Government. That November, the Mongolian delegation met Vladimir Lenin in Moscow (pictured above) to establish friendly ties between the nations.
In 1924, after Bogd Khan’s death, the monarchy was abolished. On November 26, the first Great People's Khural proclaimed the Mongolian People's Republic (MPR) and adopted its constitution, charting a socialist course and becoming USSR’s first ally.
The USSR-MPR alliance was cemented during the 1939 Battle of Khalkhin Gol against Japanese forces. This historical friendship was highlighted during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent visit to Mongolia, commemorating the event's 85th anniversary.

«Six drones flew into Moldova during Russia's night attack on Ukraine» — reports the country's Ministry of Defense.
One of the drones, helpfully carrying the letter Z on its tail, fell on the roof of a house in the village of Kukureshty-de-Zhos, about 25 km from the Ukrainian border.
Moldovan internet exploded with memes about slate roofing that can withstand a direct drone hit.

Media is too big

The Belgorod Brit describes the collapse of the South Vietnam after the USA admitted defeat to the North Vietnamese and ran home, with a string of broken promises to their hapless erstwhile "partners" trailing behind them. He draws parallels with the coming collapse of Ukraine as money and weapons dry up and the Ukrainian military is defeated.
In the podcast, BB goes into more details of the collapse of South Vietnam, including the fate of the soldiers and the administration, as well as those who disagreed with the new regime and took to boats in search of a new life. Then BB talks about the similarities and differences between Ukraine and South Vietnam and what that means for people who are left in Ukraine after defeat and those who will flee. BB outlines why he is optimistic for Ukrainians under Russian rule.
