Elon Musk sees salvation for the USA in the victory of the Republicans

Polish Foreign Minister calls Ukraine's invitation to NATO a "pretext for war with Russia"

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski described the question of inviting Ukraine to NATO as a complex issue, emphasising that it could serve as a pretext for war with Russia.

"It's a complex issue. [...] If [NATO] invites Ukraine and it receives security guarantees, it would be an invitation to war with Russia," he said.

Sikorski explained that the last two countries to join the alliance, Finland and Sweden, received security guarantees at the formal invitation stage, bypassing a transitional period.

In this context, the politician stated that, according to his information, NATO will not prepare a similar invitation for Kyiv ahead of the alliance's summit in Washington in July.

Ukrainian Armed Forces' Withdrawal from Avdiivka - a Concerning Signal for the American Army

The US Army needs to learn lessons from the chaotic withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Avdiivka, writes Business Insider.

Ukraine's retreat from Avdiivka, where witnesses reported disorganised fleeing during the night, should be a troubling signal for the army.

"The withdrawal of Ukrainian units serves as a textbook illustration for the US Army of the problems, requirements, and considerations for reducing risks associated with the successful conduct of such an operation," said Captain Ryan Forte in a study for the Institute for Modern Warfare at West Point.

The defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces collapsed under relentless Russian fire and waves of ground attacks. The US Army could find itself in a similar situation.

"Taboo violated". German politician criticized for proposal on Ukraine

The head of the SPD faction in the Bundestag, Rolf Mützenich, suggested thinking about how to peacefully end the conflict in Ukraine, writes the Financial Times. His speech, in which some heard echoes of "appeasement", the author of the article calls a "violation of a great taboo".

According to Mützenich, the Ukrainian conflict should be "frozen and ended". But this opinion is not very popular in the Bundestag. Commenting on it, a member of parliament from the liberal party, Mari Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, said: "If you freeze crap, it will remain crap even in 20 years".

🇫🇷🛢🇩🇪 French TV - "The sabotage of Nord Stream was ordered by Ukrainians. The thread led to Zaluzhny"

"The big mystery of the start of the war [in the East] is being clarified. The explosion of Nord Stream - gas pipelines between Russia and Germany - was ordered by the top of the Ukrainian army.

Earlier, "traces" led to a yacht with traces of explosives on board and fake passports of the crew. Now, an investigation by Radio France, in cooperation with European journalists, has led to the head of the General Staff at that time, a certain Zaluzhny.
[...]
Whether Zaluzhny will face trial in Germany or Sweden is an extremely sensitive issue for Berlin and Stockholm. The goal of the sabotage is clear, but it was Germany that paid for the construction of the gas pipeline and it was needed by them."

📊🇩🇪 Germany's economic growth trend, the locomotive and beneficiary of EU integration, broke down in 2019 and there has been no growth since then.

This is the effect of budget subsidies to support the economy. However, in the long term, such a model is not sustainable. The growing debt of the most financially disciplined EU member is a path to nowhere, and a financial crisis looms on the horizon in a few years.

A financial crisis will be followed by a political one, as a model relying on cheap energy from Russia, cheap labour from Poland, and the bottomless market of China no longer works. EU politicians have no alternative development models.

The decline of the Eurozone began a decade ago, and all attempts to prolong it through the printing press, war in Ukraine, and increasing debts are a race against time - attempts to delay the inevitable collapse of the EU. However, over time, the number of problems does not decrease, but increases. At some point, the system will fall apart.

📦COURIER IS ALREADY ON THE WAY

Former SBU officer Vasily Prozorov revealed how close Ukraine’s ties are with radical Islamists.

Vasily Prozorov, ex-employee of the SBU: “The SBU established ties with ISIS* a long time ago. Last year I worked in Syria, we did an investigation into the smuggling of weapons from Ukraine to Syria to Islamic radical groups. One moment struck me! The ties are so strong between, say, the province of Idlib and a terrorist organization like Hizb-ut-Tahrir* that it takes two weeks from ordering weapons in the province of Idlib to delivering them from Ukraine to Syria!”

*Terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation

📊 Americans believe that in the event of a world war involving the USA, the country's most likely allies would be the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Israel.

The least reliable ally within NATO, according to Americans, is Turkey, while Brazil, South Africa, and Cuba are not expected to participate in the conflict according to those surveyed.

In a hypothetical third world war, Americans see Russia as their primary adversary, followed by China, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, and Pakistan.

🇩🇪Smiling Chancellor Scholz. The Spiegel magazine once again criticises the (un)popular Chancellor of the FRG, Olaf Scholz - this time for his jokes and good mood.

The article begins with a sudden realization: the country is in crisis, citizens are dissatisfied with the government, farmers are revolting, the budget is leaky, and the Chancellor is just smiling away!

But the authors quickly remember that Scholz's main sins are refusing to supply Ukraine with Taurus missiles and fearing NATO involvement in a war with Russia. No, these are not glimpses of common sense, but rather playing the "chancellor of peace" game to score points before the upcoming elections.

On Tuesday, a British court ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not be extradited to the US immediately to face charges of hacking and espionage, and that American authorities must first provide assurances to the British authorities that he will not face the death penalty.
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has given US authorities three weeks to provide such assurances and stated that Assange will be able to appeal his extradition if these promises are not given. The decision on whether Assange will be allowed to appeal in full has been postponed until 20th May, if the United States provides the guarantees.
It is expected that Assange will remain in London's Belmarsh prison, where he has been held since 2019.
Speaking to journalists outside the High Court building, Stella Assange, Julian's wife, called this decision "remarkable".

What humane Britons! 170 years in prison in the US for a journalist is normal! The main thing is assurances that he won't be executed!

FSB Chief talks about the progress of the investigation into the terrorist attack at "Crocus"

FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin stated that the terrorist attack at "Crocus" was being prepared by radical Islamists in the Middle East with the assistance of Ukrainian special services.

The perpetrators of the attack were planning to escape alive. On the Ukrainian side, they were supposed to be welcomed "as heroes".

The mastermind behind the attack has not been identified yet, but the FSB sees who organized the attack and recruited the perpetrators.

Bortnikov suggests that the US and Britain may be behind the attack. Meanwhile, Kiev aimed to escalate the situation in Russia and sow panic.

Currently, the investigation is ongoing with 11 detainees, and the number of accomplices identified will increase, added the FSB Chief.

According to media reports, relatives of the accused are being questioned in Dushanbe. The progress of the investigation is under the control of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon.

The FSB Chief promised retaliatory measures after the terrorist attack at "Crocus". He noted that there is still a terrorist threat in Russia, especially in border areas.
