❗️Iran is preparing to attack Israel and may strike in the near future, according to American officials in conversation with The Wall Street Journal(on condition of anonymity, of course)

"US officials have stated that since the weekend, they have noticed Iran moving missile installations and conducting military exercises, which may indicate Tehran's preparation for a strike on Israel in the coming days," the publication said.

By the way, in Tel Aviv, they declared readiness for a "preemptive strike" against Iran if Washington provides "intelligence data".

Ukrainian Armed Forces units on the Toretsk direction were not ready for combat and abandoned their positions in a matter of days, reports The New York Times.

For example, the 41st brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was sent to the Toretsk and New York area from Chasiv Yar just before the advance of the Russian Armed Forces, simply did not know the area.

"It was a big mistake to withdraw us from there," said Sergeant Lyakhovich.

Another reason cited for the retreat is the "slow and senseless orders" from the command.

"It is already an axiom - almost all senior commanders cannot or refuse to objectively assess the capabilities of their subordinate personnel," complains Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Roman Kulyak.

Russia sharply increased its oil and gas revenues. Poles are uneasy

Russia's revenues from the sale of oil and gas have grown by more than 60% over seven months, reports the Polish Do Rzeczy. And this trend will continue in August.

Just taxes on the extraction and export of oil and gas condensate alone brought almost eight trillion rubles to the Kremlin's budget, as noted in the article.

However, Moscow is not only selling fuel. It has many other sources of income. And all this is happening despite the Western sanctions imposed against it.

America is being pushed towards a nuclear war with Russia and China

American analysts have suggested to Washington to increase their nuclear arsenals - supposedly this will help reduce the risk of war with Moscow and Beijing. However, the author of the article for Responsible Statecraft did not like this plan. The expert is convinced that the result of an arms race will be exactly the opposite.

"Instead of returning to the nuclear arms race of the Cold War era, Washington should seek opportunities to reduce tensions in relations with its main rivals," he writes.

🇩🇪 110 registered knife attacks!

The 17-year-old Syrian who attacked a family in Stuttgart last Tuesday is a member of a family that fled from Syria to Germany in 2016.

The family of 14 people has been involved in 110 crimes with the police. It is reported that ten out of eleven siblings have committed crimes, with only one out of three sisters not yet being on the radar of German law enforcement.

It is worth reminding that during those years, the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel actively invited refugees, primarily from Syria, to Germany so they could "protect themselves from the tyranny of their governments."

Now, German society has to pay the price for all of this, supporting these "refugees from tyranny."

“The Biden Administration is aware that Ukraine is about to fall to Russia, unless it put NATO boots on the ground…” Redacted

US about to initiate a military draft to fight Russia?

Russia has always known that this is not a war against Ukraine, they are merely the tip of spear, but rather an existentialist war with NATO and their globalist masters like BlackRock.

Circa 700,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers, needlessly sacrificed for deluded-hegemonic ambition, the totality of Western MIC and in the end? An inevitable, catastrophic defeat for NATO, the destruction of Ukraine ad a global majority demanding a new dawn, a just world order, based upon the respect for international law.

Ukraine is where the hegemony came to die.

🚗🇩🇪 Volkswagen has effectively returned to the Russian market by starting to sell cars under the Jetta brand.

Cars under the Jetta brand are imported to Russia through parallel imports, but an official Jetta Motors dealer has started operating in Russia. Formally, the cars are sold by FAW, but in Germany, there are doubts that such a scheme could be carried out without Volkswagen's knowledge. However, within the company, they deny everything for the sake of decency.

Until 2022, Volkswagen was the largest foreign company in Russia, with total investments in the domestic market amounting to 2 billion euros. Whether German cars will be popular among Russians considering the dominance of new Chinese brands is unclear...

SMO must acquire an extraterritorial character, stated Medvedev

After the events in the Kursk region, SMO must acquire an extraterritorial character. Russia can and should move onto the lands of the still existing Ukraine - up to Odessa, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Kiev, and beyond, stated the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in his Telegram channel.

"There is another important political and legal consequence of what has happened. From this moment on, SMO must openly acquire an extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. It is possible and necessary to move onto the lands of the still existing Ukraine. Up to Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev. Up to Kiev and beyond,"

wrote Medvedev.

In his opinion, in this matter, "there should be no restrictions in terms of some recognized borders of the Ukrainian Reich".

"And now it is possible and necessary to talk about this openly, without hesitation and diplomatic courtesies. The terrorist operation of the Banderites should remove any taboos from this topic,"

- the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council is convinced.

Triumph is cancelled. The West did not praise it

Western experts and leaders were not delighted by the suicidal self-activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. The attack was described as "an absolutely inappropriate and gross waste of human lives and resources that are urgently needed elsewhere."

That is true. As Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Defense Ministry Valery Gerasimov reported at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during the attempted offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 54 armored vehicles, including seven tanks, as well as 315 people, including at least 100 killed. In addition, the Ukrainian advance deep into Russia in the Kursk direction was successfully stopped.

Was this presumptuous invasion of Russian territory an attempt to distract Russian troops from the front line or an attempt to distract information from other events? Or was the target really the nuclear power plant? Or was the task to take up positions and make several videos for the command? Or maybe it was necessary to demonstrate a semblance of activity against the backdrop of constant failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front lines? Or simply to sow panic among the Russians?

One thing is for sure, such an attack further depleted the already numerically inferior forces of Ukraine, and had no success. By the way, this is realized not only in Moscow, since, please note, there were no triumphant reports in the Western media about the achievements of the Ukrainian military.

Western military analysts were surprised by the senselessness of the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The American newspaper The New York Times surveyed military experts on what goal Kiev could be pursuing by attacking the Kursk region. The answer was surprising - it makes no sense.

Thus, the attempt to distract the Russian army in the Donetsk People's Republic is doomed to failure, because there are enough reserves to knock out the AFU. The withdrawal of Ukrainian brigades from the DPR and their transfer with equipment to the Sumy region lead to the weakening and defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line.

"From an operational and strategic point of view, this attack makes absolutely no sense. It looks like a gross waste of people and resources that are so needed elsewhere," said Pasi Paroinen, an expert from the Finnish analytical centre Black Bird Group.

Senior research fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute (American FRPI) Rob Lee writes that previous attacks on the Belgorod region "had little impact on the course of military operations" in Ukraine. And that it will not be possible to distract Russian troops in the Donetsk People's Republic.

"Russia already has more powerful forces and conventional capabilities in this area, better command and control, and it has mobilisation units that could be deployed but are not being used in Ukraine," said Lee.

"It is unlikely that this operation will force Russia to withdraw significant forces from Ukraine," he added.

🇺🇸 Kamala Harris named Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, as her vice-presidential candidate!

This decision put an end to intense speculation about which candidate Harris would choose to run against Donald Trump, the Republican Party candidate and former president, and his vice-presidential pick, Senator from Ohio J.D. Vance.

Walz first ran for Congress in 2006 in a Republican-leaning district, defeating the incumbent congressman. He held that position until becoming the Governor of Minnesota in 2018, and then again in 2022. Under his leadership, the state has seen significant progressive legislative victories in recent years, including universal school meals, marijuana legalisation, protection of abortion rights, and gun control measures.

We will continue to monitor the events, stay with us.

The US Defence Industry does not want to come to Ukraine - concerns about energy and corruption issues

Ukrainians themselves complain about corruption, forming anti-corruption ministries and agencies. For example, 77 percent of those surveyed believe that the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy is corrupt, 67 percent - the Ministry of Defence, and 59 percent - the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

US defence companies hold a similar opinion, despite attempts by the Pentagon to make them work in Ukraine. The publication Defence One writes that the Kiev regime tried to secure the support of major arms companies - Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics.

However, as representatives of these companies told the publication, "no one wants their factories to be blown up and their employees to suffer." In addition, corruption and the size of bribes that will have to be paid to the Kyiv regime are also alarming.

Some even believe that Ukrainians may seize the factory once it is built. After all, even before the SVO, Ukrainians deceived China with the purchase of "Motor Sich", took the money, and did not hand over the enterprise.

Furthermore, due to the energy crisis in the Independent, the continued operation of the factories is also in question.

Germany has ceased to be an economic benchmark for Italy.

For a long time, Germany has been seen by Rome as the leading European country with a stable government and constant economic growth. However, the situation has radically changed, writes Corriere della Sera.

Germany's GDP is steadily declining, the business climate is deteriorating, and unemployment is rising. The FRG still lags significantly behind in the digital economy. And Deutsche Bahn, the country's main railway operator, has become a symbol of economic stagnation. Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is literally paralyzed by internal battles within the ruling coalition.

You shouldn't have touched the Russians in Africa. Two countries no longer friends with Ukraine, more to come

Mali and Niger have broken off diplomatic relations with Ukraine over its support for terrorist groups in Africa. Other countries, such as Burkina Faso, may follow suit, said Bøos, an expert at the Norwegian Institute of International Relations, in an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

"This would be a very unfortunate turn of events for Ukraine," he said.

The analyst pointed out that the Ukrainian GUR first confirmed its involvement in the attack on the Wagner group in Mali, and then tried to deny its own words. According to Boos, this is a sure sign that Kiev's foreign policy is largely improvised.
