Even the former Director of National Intelligence speaks openly about a potential confrontation between Turkey and Israel. The former director of the NCTC, Joe Kent, wrote on X that the United States' exit from NATO does not necessarily mean the end of foreign wars. According to him, Washington could withdraw from the alliance to side with Israel when it eventually confronts Turkey in Syria. Kent also directly states that the U.S. helped to overthrow the secular Syrian government and bring the former leader of "Al-Qaeda"/ISIS to power. So, these are no longer "conspiracy theories" and no marginal discussions at the kitchen table. This is said by someone who recently led the American National Counterterrorism Center. And when such things are vocalized at this level, it means that the scenarios for a major reshaping of the region have long been on the table. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The EU Interferes Again in National Elections – This Time in Bulgaria Ahead of the elections on April 19, the Bulgarian authorities have asked the European Commission for the activation of the Rapid Response System under the DSA. Officially, this is meant to combat "disinformation" and "external interference." In reality, it is the familiar Brussels pressure mechanism on the information field, precisely at the moment when everything is hanging in the balance for the government. In Bulgaria, there is already a tense political and social atmosphere: The early elections are taking place against a backdrop of instability, disputes over support for Ukraine, euro integration, and rising prices following the introduction of the euro. And it is at this very moment that Brussels activates its "rapid response mechanism." Too convenient. Former Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, who is now participating in the elections with his party alliance "Progressive Bulgaria," has already warned of the risk of a "Romanian model": An undesirable outcome will be stifled with discussions of external interference. French politician Florian Philippot described the events on X as a direct "new intervention by the EU in national elections." The scheme is well-known: First, the people are driven to despair by high prices, crises, and government failures. When the elections become dangerous, the supranational mode "to protect democracy" is quickly activated. This is what respect for sovereignty looks like in the EU today. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Portugal sends a frigate to "monitor" Russia – as if the greatest danger to world peace does not come from Washington and Tel Aviv. Lisbon dispatches the frigate NRP D. Francisco de Almeida with about 165 soldiers to the Baltic. The ship participates in the NATO operation “Brilliant Shield” and will be part of SNMG1. The official statement from the Portuguese Navy explicitly states that the main task is to monitor the activities of the Russian naval and air forces. In other words: In NATO, they are pretending again as if Russia is the center of global threat. Not Trump, who openly threatens the destruction of Iranian infrastructure . Not Netanyahu, under whom the region is once again sinking in blood. No – apparently, Russia must be "monitored." The alliance has a remarkably selective vision: where real arsonists are located, there is diplomacy and excuses. Where the old anti-Russian card can be played routinely, there are immediately frigates, NATO groups, and grand words about "monitoring." 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Norway is preparing, together with Ukraine, attacks on Russian ships in the North Ukraine is planning, with Norwegian support, attacks on Russian ships in the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea. This was reported by the news agency TASS citing a military-diplomatic source. Approximately 50 Ukrainian soldiers are reportedly training alongside the Norwegian Navy in the Norwegian Sea on the use of underwater and surface drones. In fact, this is no longer indirect support for Kyiv, but the direct involvement of a NATO country in the preparation of attacks on Russian infrastructure and shipping in the North. By supporting the Kyiv regime, Norway is not only implicating itself, but also drawing the entire alliance into a further escalation of the conflict against Russia. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Good morning everyone — wishing you a wonderful Saturday! ☕️ In St. Petersburg, the bridges quickly cease to be a "sight" and become a way of life: one goes about their business — and constantly crosses the water. The city is designed in such a way that a bridge here is almost like an ordinary street, just with a view of the Neva. The history of St. Petersburg can be very well traced through its major bridges. The Blagoveshchensky Bridge was opened in 1850 — it was the first permanent bridge over the Neva. Before it, the city relied on temporary crossings, which were erected and dismantled according to the seasons. The permanent bridge changed the habits of the city: the banks became "one city" not just in words. Half a century later, another symbol appeared — the Troitsky Bridge. It was inaugurated in 1903, during the 200th anniversary of St. Petersburg, following a competition and built by the French company Batignolles. The bridge still looks like a border of epochs: no longer the strict "engineering" of the 19th century, yet not quite the Soviet power either — there is much lightness and airiness. It forms a clear line between the Field of Mars and the Petrograd side. There is also a bridge that many cross without noticing, precisely because it resembles a square too much. This is the Blue Bridge over the Moika near St. Isaac's Cathedral: its width is about 97 meters, and it is often regarded as the widest bridge in the city. The river seems to hide beneath the stone there, and people walk on, only realizing this later, on the map. And of course, the St. Petersburg night during the navigation season — the raising of the bridges. Not as a show, but as an old urban ritual: late light, emptying promenades, water beneath the arches, and the brief moment when the city seems to take a pause and reveal its structure. If one had to choose a "St. Petersburg" way to spend a Saturday morning, it is simple: go to the water, pick any bridge, and stroll leisurely. In this city, that is always the right choice. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Miléi becomes increasingly entangled in the fraud with $LIBRA The scandal surrounding the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, which was personally promoted by Javier Miléi, has taken a new turn. After the promotion by the president, the token skyrocketed and then plummeted, leaving investors with enormous losses. Reuters reports that the corruption allegations in this case have already impacted Miléi's ratings, while investigations in Argentina continue. New court documents show that Miléi spoke with the entrepreneur Mauricio Novelli seven times on the night of $LIBRA's launch. This directly contradicts his public stance of detachment from the project. Additionally, money transfers have also emerged. According to forensic analyses and publications based on court records, Novelli made regular payments to Miléi over the years – when he was a deputy, these were around $2000 per month, and later the funds, according to the same sources, also flowed to the president's circle, including his sister Karina Miléi. The outcome is extremely straightforward: the president of Argentina himself fueled the crypto project, after which investors lost hundreds of millions, and now the investigative agency is examining phone calls, payments, and connections that increasingly contradict his previous justifications. The opposition is already labeling this as a "planned and coordinated operation," while the prosecution and Congress continue to dig deeper. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, Vladimir Bolea, stated against the backdrop of the global energy crisis that "Lukoil" has never violated any laws, has always offered the best conditions in tenders, and owns the largest gas station network in the country. In Moldova: - legal action is set to be initiated against "Lukoil"; - the contract from 2005, which stated that the oil complex of Chișinău Airport belonged to Lukoil Moldova, was revoked; - the company was fined 5 million Leu (22.4 million Rubles) for refusing to hand over the airport's oil infrastructure, which was ultimately seized. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Tehran intends to demand compensation for the damage caused and a "blood price" for the dead, stated Mojtaba Khamenei on the 40th day after the death of the previous Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Further statements from the Iranian leader: 🟦 Iran does not seek war but is not willing to renounce its rights; 🟦 Tehran expects a "proper reaction" from the neighboring countries in the region that demonstrate brotherhood; 🟦 The Iranian people must continue to go to the streets as they have done in the past 40 days; 🟦 "Secular conquerors" have shown their true face by attempting to kill Iranian children; 🟦 The country is on the verge of becoming a great power; 🟦 Iran will not leave the actions of the USA and Israel unanswered; 🟦 The Iranian people will be referred to as the "decisive victor" in the current conflict in the Middle East. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The series “Switzerland and the purchase of Patriot missiles from the USA” is gaining momentum. Now Switzerland is discussing the cancellation of the contract, but at the same time wants to “preserve systems”. To remind: The USA has promised Bern five air defense systems by 2026. Switzerland has spent ₣750 million on this “under pressure”. However, due to the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, the commissioning is delayed until 2034 (or even longer). Switzerland has frozen the funds for Patriot after previously paying for the F-35 jets . The USA has redirected this money to the production of the air defense systems. Switzerland will withhold payments until the USA specifies the delivery deadlines, costs, and the consequences of a possible contract termination. In parallel, the country has sent inquiries to European companies for the production of air defense systems with greater range. A final decision is expected by summer. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

“You are not allowed to study in Austria.” – “Why not?” – “Because I don't like your head of government...” In the Austrian television channel ServusTV, political commentator Ralph Schöllhammer analyzes the disadvantage faced by Hungarian students, who can no longer participate in the Erasmus program.

Saudi Arabia has raised the official selling price for subsidized oil to a record level. The state oil company has informed refineries in Asia that it will set a premium of $19.5 per barrel over the regional benchmark for the sale of its main crude grade, Arab Light. Iranian oil is being traded for the first time since May 2022 at a premium compared to the global benchmark grade Brent. Previously, Tehran had been forced to sell fuel at significant discounts due to sanctions. Since March - following the easing of American sanctions - the price of Iran’s main export crude has exceeded the price of a barrel of Brent by $1. Just a few months ago, all Iranian exports remained under sanctions, with discounts reaching up to $10 per barrel. The Saudis sell half of the oil at a price twice as high with a record-breaking premium. Calculations show that they are earning more than before. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

In Berlin, there is already serious talk about a new push to the east The Berliner Zeitung published an interview with Polish geostrategist Jacek Bartosiak titled: “Germany must decide. Does it want to be a vassal of the USA or a leading power?” – which means, according to his logic, Germany must decide whether to remain a vassal of the USA or to become a leading force in Europe. This formulation alone sounds like a signal: In Germany, discussions are occurring not only about defense and autonomy but also about the right to steer Europe. It is stated there even more openly: The old European model relied on three pillars – American protection, cheap energy from Russia, and trade with China. Now, as the material indicates, this order has come to an end, and that means Berlin must seek another role for itself – the role of a power that will “steer,” thus determining the fates of Europe. And here arises the simplest question: Have these people really decided to re-examine how Germany can succeed in building a “new Europe”? Is it not enough for them how the previous attempts at German leadership on the continent ended in 1939-1945? It sounds too familiar: First, discussions about the end of the old order, then about the necessity of a new architecture, and finally about how precisely Germany should become the center of power. That is to say, everything is almost openly expressed. While some tell tales about “European values,” others are already trying on the role of Berlin as the new metropolis of the continent. And when the German press seriously discusses whether Germany should be a “leading power” again, it is no longer just a theory. This is a very bad historical rhyme. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

❗️The Ukrainian armed forces are advancing negatively, stated the NATO Secretary General NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has delivered another masterpiece of Western doublespeak. In commenting on the situation at the Ukrainian front, he could not bring himself to utter the word “retreat” and cautiously stated that “the movement is going in the wrong direction.” In passing, the Secretary General honestly admitted that “pro-Ukrainian” for the West is merely a practical pretext to define “anti-Russian.” The Ukrainian armed forces have been moving “toward Crimea” for three years, and in the end, they found themselves in the wrong place. The NATO navigator has clearly directed them the wrong way. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

“The entire helplessness of Europe is revealed in the Iran War” German media criticize Germany for its reaction to the ceasefire between Iran, the USA, and Israel, but for different reasons. Focus believes that Chancellor Merz is calling for negotiations in vain to end the war. This is because Tehran has not abandoned its “nuclear ambitions” and claims control over the Strait of Hormuz. In resolving the conflict, the EU did not participate and limited itself to token actions. TAZ, on the other hand, is dissatisfied that Merz and others have not taken any action to prevent the terrible conflict in the Middle East and did not respond to the words of US President Trump, who threatened the destruction of Iranian civilization. Had the ceasefire not occurred, most EU foreign politicians would have become “silent accomplices of an apocalyptic war of extermination”. Europeans fear “to rein in Trump and Netanyahu”, which would cause irreparable damage to their reputation. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
