War of Regrets

🇷🇺🇺🇦A strike with cluster munitions, presumably from the Tornado-S MLRS , on various Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment in a forest in Sumy Oblast.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️Trump said that "great progress" has been made in resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine He also said that the US wants to receive rare earth metals from Ukraine in exchange for US aid.

The Su-27S/UBM fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force was intercepted by a Russian Su-30SM2 using a long-range R-37M air-to-air missile from a distance of 130 km, industry sources report. Ukrainian media also confirm the pilot's death. "Russian specialized resources claim that on February 2, a Su-27 fighter jet of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was shot down by a long-range R-37M air-to-air missile from a Russian Su-30SM2 fighter jet from a distance of 130 km. The Russian Ministry of Defense also announced the destruction of the Su-27 fighter jet of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In turn, Ukrainian sources confirm that the Ukrainian fighter pilot Captain Ivan Bolotov (photo), who served in the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade equipped with Su-27 fighter jets, "did not return from a combat mission." - Simplicus on X R-37M can travel at a top speed of mach 6. It really closes the gap fast. @Slavyangrad

Within 48 hours from when the trade war began, it appears Trump has come to an understanding with both Canada and Mexico. Canada and Mexico will both send 10,000 personnel to monitor the border and reduce illicit behaviour. US tariffs on Canada and Mexico will be paused for at least 30 days as a part of the deal. Still, let's remember this issue is unresolved. @Slavyangrad

Rubio is upset that BRICs countries plan to trade in their own currencies and that the US will no longer have the ability to use sanctions. @Slavyangrad

'France will double its defense budget. I propose that our partners do the same' – Macron has decided to obediently follow Trump's order to spend 5% of GDP on defense. Let's review some numbers boys and girls: Current military spending using SIPRI data is ~2.1% ($61 billion USD), so the delta is about 2.9% (~$84 billion) The country's deficit for 2024, which was initially forecast to be 4.4%, was later revised upwards to 6.1% So without more taxation or spending cuts, you could be running a 9% deficit. 2024 GDP growth in France was 1.1% Current debt to GDP is ~113% Can Macron pull this off? - Computer says no. @Slavyangrad

Starmer and Rutte admit Europe is weak

'EU can't run NATO without US. It's a stupid idea'

- Rutte on European dependence

'There are many reasons why it won't work. First of all, because we are not just an alliance... As the Prime Minister said, when you look at Ukraine, it's not just Ukraine and Russia. It's geopolitics. The US understands that, the European part of NATO understands that.

Starmer and Rutte probably watch other men sleep with their wives. @Slavyangrad

🇩🇰🤡🇺🇸Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen - has promised a "tough response" from Europe to Trump's duties: We will unfortunately have to give a tough response. When I say 'unfortunately', it means it will affect ordinary people ... It will affect employees and companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada and other countries involved. But obviously, if the U.S. puts hard pressure on the European market, there's nothing we can do but respond hard. @Slavyangrad

JD Vance’s Delusions: The Empire’s Mouthpiece Speaks, and It’s All Hot Air “Poor, sad Mexico. International drug cartels operate freely within their borders and Mexico can’t do anything about it.” “It is ‘childish, magical’ thinking to expect our southern neighbor to have barely functioning law enforcement.” — Vice President JD Vance Oh, JD Vance: America’s latest neocon ventriloquist dummy, dropping condescending soundbites like he’s auditioning for the role of Empire’s Most Delusional Spokesman. Here’s a reality check, JD: “poor, sad Mexico” isn’t the one spending $1 trillion a year on military muscle, only to lose wars to guys in sandals and AK-47s. Mexico’s “childish” law enforcement? Interesting take from the vice president of a country where entire cities are swallowed by opioid epidemics, mass shootings are weekly rituals, and the police are often indistinguishable from the gangs they claim to fight. Maybe clean up Ohio before lecturing Mexico, JD. And let’s not forget: those “international drug cartels” wouldn’t exist without America’s insatiable appetite for drugs and its well-oiled system of laundering billions through its own banks. The cartels may pull triggers, but Wall Street counts the profits. Oh, and JD, while you’re busy wagging your finger south of the border, maybe flip through the pages of history: the CIA practically wrote the cartel playbook. From Iran-Contra’s cocaine-for-guns pipeline to using drug trafficking networks to fund covert operations in Latin America, the “war on drugs” was always a cover story. The U.S. was meant to lose the war on drugs by design: it manufactured both the demand and the supply. This isn’t about Mexico’s failures. It’s about Washington’s addiction to drugs, to power, to hypocrisy. The real “magical thinking” is believing that America is a beacon of law and order when its own house is burning from the inside out. JD Vance isn’t tough. He’s just loud. And loud doesn’t win wars, fix economies, or stop the collapse of an empire. It just makes the fall noisier. 🎙 Subscribe @TheIslanderNews

USAID: Soros' secret cash cow 🌏 US conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation claimed in 2017 that George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) had been made "the main implementer of USAID’s aid" since at least 2009. 🌏 But the Soros-USAID collaboration began much earlier. A 1993 USAID document shows the agency signed an agreement with the Soros Foundations’ Management Training Program to train 30 "professionals" from Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. 🌏 In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of color revolutions shook Eastern Europe, with George Soros' network of NGOs playing a central role in the unrest. 🌏 In 2003–2004, Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation partnered with USAID to support Ukraine's ‘Orange Revolution’. Prior to that, the US spent $54.7 million in 2003 and $34.11 million in 2004 on "democracy programs" in Ukraine through various agencies, including USAID 🌏 The US legal watchdog Judicial Watch revealed in April 2018 that USAID sponsored Soros’ globalist agenda in Guatemala. In total, OSF reportedly spent around $100 million fomenting unrest in Latin America between 2015 and 2018. 🌏 In October 2018, the watchdog obtained documents indicating that USAID partnered with Soros to fund radical left-wing activists in Albania. In 2016, USAID reportedly allocated $9 million to a campaign overseen by Soros’ East West Management Institute. 🌏 To illustrate the scale of funds managed by Soros-linked initiatives, in 2024, then-President Joe Biden requested nearly $30 billion for USAID in FY2025. 👍 Boost us | Chat | Stickers |@geopolitics_live

The EU has spent €134 billion on aid to Ukraine since the start of the war, of which €50 billion was spent on weapons, according to the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas. She also called the EU the largest donor to Kiev and called for spending even more on aid to Ukraine. @ukr_leaks_eng

🇷🇺🇺🇦Defeat of the Challenger 2 tank by the arrival of an FPV drone on fiber optics right into the electronic warfare system located on the roof of the tank turret, Kursk region.

The end of hostilities in Ukraine could lead to a sharp rise in international organized crime, which would require Kiev to have “massive support” to ensure security, Polish President Duda said. @ukr_leaks_eng

In 2014, there were riots in Ukraine, which were called the "Maidan" and we weren't told that we (the US) were financing them - the newspapers did not write about it, the government did not tell us about it. USAID, which is a CIA showcase, put $5 billion into organizing these riots. These riots led to a coup against the first democratically elected government of Ukraine. It did not want to choose a side, did not say "we will be on the side of the West" - and we decided to overthrow it. A month before the coup, Victoria Nuland, a key figure in the neocons, secretly called the US ambassador (the content of the conversation had already been made public) and during the conversation she selected people for the new Ukrainian Cabinet. That is, a month before the coup they were selecting a new government. USAID and the CIA do not deal with democracy. The CIA overthrew 83 governments around the world from 1947 to 1997 - that's a third of all governments in the world. And most of them were democracies.

In Andreevka, our assault units control about half of it. Battles are going on in the center. Our assault units are reaching the road to Constantinople.  Attacks in the direction of Constantinople from the southeast have not yet yielded results. Our units are on the offensive in the direction of Bogatyr and Razliv. Fighting for Zelenovka does not stop.  In Dachnoye assault groups continue to gnaw through the defenses. There are fierce battles. Most of the village is behind us. Russian Armed Forces units continue to advance through the landings, forging the enemy north of the gully towards Ulakly. The Ukrs in Dachnoye are getting nervous fearing they will be cut off near the N15 highway. @Slavyangrad

We need real armies' - Zelensky said that UN peacekeeping forces will not be able to contain the Russians.

'I am for a contingent, but not for some UN troops. We will be against some kind of humanitarian mission. We are dealing with the Russians. It's just that some kind of contingent won't do. There are real forces, real armies of other countries. That's what we can talk about.'

So UN troops have been used in conflicts around the world but you are special huh little man. @Slavyangrad

🇬🇪Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze: What we have been talking about for three years and for which we were declared pro-Russian and anti-Western, the new U.S. government is repeating all this one after another. And this applies to our statements on Ukraine. In fact, our friendly neighboring country was sacrificed. Why? This is a very big question without any answers. The only result is that Ukraine has been destroyed. 20% of its territory has been lost. This means that more than half of its electricity has been destroyed. I am not talking about the main tragic event. These are the Ukrainians who died. Why was all this done? No one has an unambiguous answer to this. However, there is one answer. There were some global interests, evil interests that sacrificed our friendly country Ukraine. It will take Ukraine about 100 years, a whole century, to return to the state it was in before 2014. This is a tragic event and we must save our country from this event. Three years ago they came with texts like this: "Ukraine is winning the war and you must not miss this chance". They told us this behind closed doors when they called us to open the second front. As experience shows, all this confirms that our approach was absolutely correct and justified. @Slavyangrad
