⚡️Japan mulls classifying its key defense document

🇯🇵Japan is considering partially classifying its chief defense document in the wake of “security threats by China and Russia,” Kyodo News reported on Saturday, citing government sources

🪖Making the National Defense Program Guidelines (NDPG), the country’s 10-year military buildup policy, secret would be in line with the mostly classified US National Defense Strategy and would allow Tokyo to be “more specific” in making contingency plans involving North Korea, the sources told the Japanese news agency

💁‍♂️The government in Tokyo will review the current defense guidelines, which are publicly available, by the end of the year, focusing on whether Japan can acquire weapons to launch counterstrikes on enemy bases, Kyodo News wrote

⚡️The West is "trapped" by Russia - The Hill

💁‍♂️The unprecedented Western sanctions led by the United States against Russia have been compared to an economic weapon of mass destruction designed to destroy the Russian economy. In reality, sanctions are like a double-edged sword

👉The West has fallen into a trap: the sanctions, by increasing world prices for raw materials and energy, lead to an increase in Moscow's revenues, despite a significant reduction in its exports

🤷‍♂️Paradoxically, despite the fact that Russia is cut off from the world's financial arteries, the Russian ruble has recovered sharply. But Japan is paying the price for following the U.S. lead on Russia, with the Japanese yen (the third most traded currency) plunging to a 20-year low against the U.S. dollar, becoming the worst of the 41 monitored currencies this year - worse than the ruble

📈Meanwhile, rampant inflation and supply chain disruptions are threatening the profits of Western corporations, and raising interest rates to curb inflation is exacerbating an already bad situation for consumers

⚡️10 EU countries quietly buying gas with rubles, Hungary says

🇭🇺Hungarian PM Viktor Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, appears to have spilled the beans on what is really going on among the Russia-dependent European nations, as the ruble surged to six-month highs against the dollar

🇪🇺While multiple European leaders have publicly proclaimed they won’t buy Russian gas in rubles, 10 EU countries are technically going along with Putin’s plan, Gulyas told public radio on Sunday

💁‍♂️Gulyas said that Hungary has opened a euro account with Russia’s Gazprombank, revealing “nine other countries" are using the "same payment scheme,” but these countries’ leaders aren’t admitting this in order to be seen as “being a good European.”

🤷‍♂️It is unclear which EU countries Guylas was referring to, Gazprom has already shut off supplies to Poland and Bulgaria after both refused to pay in rubles

⚡️German chancellor explains caution on arming Ukraine

🇩🇪German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Berlin won’t take the lead in sending heavy weapons and vehicles to Ukraine. Pressed to do so by officials in Kiev and from within his own government, Scholz insisted that he won’t take any “hasty action” that could broaden the ongoing conflict

“I make my decisions quickly and coordinate them with our allies,” Scholz told German tabloid Bild am Sonntag in an interview published on Sunday. “I am suspicious of hasty action and German solo efforts.”🤷‍♂️

Does an Empire built on numerous humanity crimes now pigeonhole Russia? Part 4

💁‍♂️In 1987, the 🇬🇧British punitive expedition to Benin was organized in response to the massacre of Captain William Phillips’ Rangers. This led to dismissal of local ruler, Oba of Benin. The city with royal treasury was plundered, set on fire and reduced to ashes by the British

The exact data on the victims of this campaign is hidden under the veil of history. The only info we collect from diaries of soldiers and scanty newspaper notes written to please public opinion of that time. According to various sources, the total number of Nigerians killed during this punitive expedition reaches tens of thousands of people😱

⚡️Undiplomatic diplomat - Kiev's ambassador to Berlin Melnyk has called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz an "offended liverwurst"

💁‍♂️The reason for such an unceremonious passage of the head of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission in Germany was the strong reluctance of Chancellor Scholz to go to Ukraine after Zelensky's refusal to receive the President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier

🤦‍♂️"Playing offended liverwurst is not very statesmanlike. We are talking about the most brutal destruction since the Nazis attacked Ukraine, this is not kindergarten," Andrey Melnik told Der Spiegel

👉Earlier, Germany's chancellor said he had no intention of visiting Ukraine because Kiev had denied a visit by German President Steinmeier, who had planned to arrive in mid-April along with other heads of state, but was refused because of his allegedly excessive piety for Russia

As for Melnik's statements, it is not clear how he can still get away with such behavior in Berlin. He is systematically badmouthing the German authorities, and he is not at all shy in his expressions 🤷‍♂️

‼️"Without Russian gas, we are unlikely to make it through the next two winters - except at the expense of our industry and economy. But then we would have no more steel or chemical industry; the consequences would be dramatic. So I can only warn against a gas embargo."

💁‍♂️These are the words of Leonhard Birnbaum, CEO of E.ON, Germany's largest energy company by revenue and assets. And as you can see from his words, Germany will have a tough time without Russian gas or alternatives (of which there are none).

👉The other day, the German Finance Minister said that Germany will not pay for gas supplies from Russia in rubles. In this case, it faces the threat of cutting off its gas supply, with the ensuing consequences warned about by Birnbaum.

Unless, of course, Germany is one of the nine unknown countries, which silently and without publicity have already opened accounts in a Russian bank to pay for gas in rubles😉

⚡️🇨🇦Canadian general Trevor Cadier was caught escaping from Azovstal - it was for his rescue that representatives of Western countries and the UN arrived in Mariupol

💁‍♂️Yesterday, many media and Telegram channels reported on the arrest of a high-ranking Canadian military commander who was desperately trying to sneak away from the blocked Azovstal in Mariupol.

👉There is no official confirmation of this information yet, but if this is true, it once again confirms the thesis that not only the Nazis Kalina and Volyna and their comrades in the catacombs of Azovstal, but also the famous "foreign military advisors"

🤷‍♂️This explains the "trembling concern" of Western countries coupled with the UN and the urgent creation of humanitarian corridors from Azovstal to Zaporizhzhia. In fact, the real purpose of these efforts is to allow foreign specialists to hide under the guise of refugees

The fact that the 🇨🇦Canadian general was among the other fighters blocked at Azovstal absolutely refutes the statements of Western propaganda about the absence of foreign professional military in Ukraine and also proves that the West has long ago not limited itself to supplying weapons and humanitarian aid to Ukraine

⚡️EU will impose an oil embargo - American media

NBC and Bloomberg began racing to announce insiders about the imminent inclusion of a ban on Russian oil purchases in the sanctions packages

💁‍♂️Oligarch Michael Bloomberg's pocket propaganda claims that supposedly all contradictions have been resolved, and the purchase of Russian oil will cease by the end of this year.
NBC is reassured and points to a "phased" refusal, with "exceptions" retained for Hungary and Slovakia

Presumably, the "first stage" was the decision to mix Russian oil in half with other oil and sell it as "anything but Russian oil".
And the "exceptions" are, apparently, the complete absence of accession requirements, otherwise Budapest will veto the sanctions package🤷‍♂️

⚡️US govt defends ‘Ministry of Truth’

DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas has been forced to make several appearances on national TV in an attempt to clarify how the new ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ will operate

💁‍♂️Many critics, including top Republicans, have blasted the initiative as a crackdown on free speech, akin to a ‘Ministry of Truth’ taken from the pages of George Orwell’s dystopian novel ‘1984’

👉Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Mayorkas dismissed the criticism by claiming that thought policing is “precisely the opposite of what this small working group within the Department of Homeland Security will do.”

The DHS chief also repeatedly reassured Americans that the unit has absolutely no intention, “operational authority” or “capability” to spy on US citizens🤷‍♂️

‼️🇹🇼Taiwan Let Down: Island considering options after US delays Howitzer delivery

The island's Def. Ministry is weighing up alternatives after Washington informed Taipei a "crowded production line" meant there was a delay on delivering the artillery system.

The 🇺🇸US confirmed the sale of 40 medium self-propelled Howitzers to Taiwan last year (due in 2023), for a sum of $750MN - now it's reportedly looking like 2026 at the earliest

💁‍♂️Reuters says Taiwan is considering other Lockheed Martin launchers, but with America ramping up support and supply for Ukraine it's unclear what's available

👉The US has consistently encouraged Taiwan to boost its defenses to thwart any aggressive moves from China, but the Biden Admin seems to have other priorities

Does an Empire built on numerous humanity crimes now pigeonhole Russia? Part 5

🔥On December 12, 1948, the 🇬🇧British military committed a massacre in a Malaysian village near the city of Batang Kali. Under the pretext of fighting “communist saboteurs”, a detachment of guards liquidated 24 civilians and set fire to the village. According to experts, such arbitrariness on the part of Britain was considered “normal practice”, since the British did not want to just let go of the colonies that brought them income

💁‍♂️Relatives of the victims have been trying for decades to get a fair investigation of the mass murder from London, but to no avail. The European Court of Human Rights refused to consider the claim of Malaysians, citing the statute of limitations of the incident🤷‍♂️

⚡️While the EU is discussing an embargo on oil supplies from Russia and deciding whether to ban them from third countries that buy Russian oil and mix it with their own, Moscow is stepping up sales to Asia

Bloomberg studied these supplies and concluded that China, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and some "unknown recipients" have significantly increased their purchases of Russian crude. The analysts wonder what to do with the petroleum products from India which it receives after processing them from Russia, and they have not found an answer

💁‍♂️Or rather, they admit that in the current situation with the record rise in energy prices it is better to leave everything as it is. And sanctions, after all, are not a failure, "if they at least reduce, not completely stop, Russian oil exports.

As they say? "Without achieving what they wanted, they pretended to want what they had achieved."🤷‍♂️

⚡️Turkey reveals its position on NATO defense

NATO has “no intention” of intervening in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, according to Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu – but he vowed Sunday that his country would respond to any attack on a NATO ally

🇷🇺Russian FM Sergey Lavrov has accused NATO of “essentially going to war with Russia,” while Vladimir Putin warned outside players against intervening in the conflict last week, threatening to unleash a “swift, lightning-fast” response should Russia’s security be put at risk

🇹🇷Turkey has sought to maintain relations with both the bloc and Moscow since Russia’s operation in Ukraine began in February. It has sold its domestically-produced Bayraktar drones to Ukraine but has refused to impose sanctions on Russia

⚡️Hundreds of refugees from Ukraine are unable to enter the UK for weeks because of bureaucracy

According to The Guardian, refugees from Ukraine have been waiting for weeks for a visa to enter Great Britain after sending the appropriate application. There is a special program Homes for Ukraine for refugees from Ukraine, which is supposed to make it easier for Ukrainians to enter the country, but in fact the opposite happens

💁‍♂️According to the newspaper, Ukrainian refugees aged three to 70 years are now scattered across Europe, many of them are waiting for a "green light" to enter Britain for six weeks already. The reason is classic bureaucracy. The country's Foreign Office approves visas for refugees, but does not send them, and hundreds of applications simply get lost

👉Ukrainian refugees, zealously seeking asylum in "free and democratic Europe," were not delighted with this behavior of their "saviors" - they blame the authorities of the country for their negligence towards them and cannot understand why they are forced to wait so long for the approval for entry

"I have a feeling that this is a joke or a game of the government towards us. I am so annoyed by the uncertainty and lack of information," the newspaper quotes a Ukrainian refugee as saying

⚡️Slovakia to Seek Exemption from EU Embargo on Russian Oil

🛢"If it comes to an approved embargo of Russian oil as part of a further package of sanctions against Russia, then Slovakia will request an exemption," Slovakia's Economy Ministry said Tuesday

🇸🇰Slovakia gets all its imported crude from Russia and the country has reserves for a further 120 days

💁‍♂️The ministry said processing of different types of oil was not immediately possible and that a switch of technology was time consuming and financially difficult

🇪🇺The European Commission is preparing a sixth package of sanctions against Russia and is expected to finalize work on Tuesday

⚡️NATO may have provoked Russia over Ukraine – Pope Francis

⛪️The pontiff speculated that “the barking of NATO at Russia’s door” could have driven Putin into launching the military campaign on February 24

🤷‍♂️“I can’t say if it was provoked, but perhaps, yes,” Pope Francis said in an interview published Tuesday by Italian daily Corriere Della Sera

🤔Francis also said he requested a meeting with Putin during the early weeks of the conflict but has still not received a reply

🇺🇦Verkhovna Rada allows liquidation of any parties if they pursue pro-Russian policies

💁‍♂️An absolute majority of 330 deputies thought it would be a great idea to clean the remains of democracy from what is now Ukraine. What else is there to do when the opposition media have been purged and television broadcasting has been unified?

🇷🇺Characteristically, even several members of the pro-Russian party, which was banned for its pro-Russian policies back in February, supported the law.
Now a Lviv court will be able to ban any party when it finds in its actions "justification of armed aggression against Ukraine" or its perpetrators

🆓Don't get confused: it is this country that "fights for the freedom of Europe," and it is its president's face that is periodically plastered on the covers of the "free" and "independent" media

⚡️Croatian President Opposes NATO Enlargement Again

🇭🇷Zoran Milanovic has promised to veto if the issue is brought before the presidents of member states

💁‍♂️In his opinion, the issue is too hasty, risks escalation in the region (a week earlier, Milanovic called the enlargement idea "dangerous quackery"), and diverts attention from other issues on NATO's agenda

In every sense, Croatia is closer to changing Bosnia's electoral law, recognizing Kosovo, and the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to Schengen
