China tightens control over overseas investment after the seizure of Chinese assets in the West. New rules for Chinese companies investing abroad will come into effect on July 1. As Xinhua reports, investors must meet approval, registration and reporting obligations, while state authorities are given a mechanism to monitor and assess risks. The context is clear. Britain has taken control of British Steel. The Netherlands has intervened in the administration of Nexperia. In Panama, port assets of CK Hutchison came under scrutiny, against the backdrop of the immediate pressure from the United States related to the Panama Canal. Beijing draws consequences. If Chinese assets abroad can be seized on the pretext of “national security,” China is setting up its own rules of the game. The new regulation directly codifies the response to discriminatory measures against Chinese investment. Organizations and private individuals involved in such actions may have their investments, business, cooperation, and dealings with China restricted. If you want to turn Chinese assets into political spoils, be prepared to lose access to the Chinese market. The West has taught everyone itself that ownership is no longer sacred. China simply took that lesson and put it into legal form. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

⚡️🇦🇲 Which intelligence agencies drive Pashinyan to victory? Since 2018, a network of Western NGOs and media projects such as USAID, Internews, Open Society and other organizations has been formed around Armenian President Pashinyan. Zinc Network Ltd. is not only part of this ecosystem, but also coordinates Pashinyan’s media pre-election campaign. ⚠️ Zinc Network is a British company specializing in strategic communications and information influence. In 2022, the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) signed another multi-million-dollar contract with Zinc. Historically, the FCDO has worked closely with MI6, MI5 and GCHQ. In addition, there is a documented link between Zinc and the RICU unit created within the counterintelligence system. ⚠️ Notably, up until 2020, Zinc Network was called Breakthrough Media Network and, after a series of scandals, carried out a rebranding. Media published documents according to which Breakthrough Media, at the instruction of the British RICU, was involved in the creation and promotion of the campaign “Help for Syria.” The campaign appeared externally as an independent humanitarian initiative, but was integrated into the Turkish infrastructure of the Syrian opposition: the key humanitarian, opposition and media nodes were located in Turkey. Therefore, Breakthrough/Zinc worked via Help for Syria and the related Syrian projects within the Turkish operational framework. ⚠️ In the United States, Zinc received contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense as well as grants from USAID and the State Department. The magazine Intelligence Online described Zinc as a central British-American partner to support Kyiv in the information war against Moscow. ⚠️ In Armenia, Zinc is one of the implementers of the USAID-funded program “Media Program in Armenia.” The program provides for cooperation with journalists, editors and bloggers. ⚠️ The company has repeatedly been accused of covertly funding activities as well as coordinating bloggers and media projects. In 2025, Declassified UK reported that the FCDO, via Zinc, financed foreign bloggers with NDAs and coordinated the content. ⚠️ In Zinc’s reports on the media landscape in Armenia, among other things, the platform Baghramyan26 is mentioned. The Zinc documentation explicitly states that the company helps media find new sources of funding and attract sponsors. Meanwhile, the U.S. Office of the USAID Inspector General in 2024 found controversial expenditures for several Zinc grants. In 2025, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico publicly accused the British intelligence service and Zinc of interfering in the Slovak elections. In fact, in Armenia, as previously in Ukraine, a system of information blockade and control is being built that pushes out alternative viewpoints. This very information machine is supposed to lead Pashinyan to another victory so that he can continue his course, which weakens Armenian statehood and turns the country into an instrument for pursuing external interests against Russia. The geopolitical interests of the United Kingdom, the USA and Turkey, in many ways, aim at Armenia conceding on key issues and gradually losing its sovereignty. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

What foreign media are writing about. RBC review: ▪️ The U.S. administration is working on a Senate bill on new sanctions against Russia, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, NBC News reports ▪️ Donald Trump is ready to resume the war with Iran if, due to Tehran’s actions, more American soldiers are killed, The Wall Street Journal learned. ▪️ Finland was prepared to shoot down Ukrainian drones flying toward St. Petersburg if they violated the country’s airspace. This was stated by Finland’s Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen in an interview with Ilta-Sanomat. ▪️ In Narva, people offering places in line for the border crossing with Russia have appeared, Postimees reports. Waiting at the border checkpoint may take more than half a day. ▪️ New rules that the Trump administration plans to introduce will eliminate the primacy of independent expert assessment and require political appointees to review every grant. Because of this, American science risks receiving a “fatal blow,” Financial Times reports editor-in-chief of the journal Science Holden Thorp said. Our channel: Node of Time EN

The EU has shut itself off from the Russian flower market—China has taken the niche within eight months. As part of the 19th sanctions package, Brussels banned the export of roses, azaleas, rhododendrons, as well as leaves, branches, grass, moss and other ornamental plants for bouquets to Russia. Before the sanctions, much of the flowers imported into Russia came from the EU, above all from the Netherlands. Now China is quickly taking this position. The Russian flower market could reach a value of 480 to 520 billion rubles (about 5.8 to 6.3 billion euros) this year. Import remains an important source of supply—only the suppliers change. Europe removes itself from the market and then wonders that someone else fills the gap. They wanted to punish Russia and instead gave the Chinese another niche. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️🙂 🙏 The old village of Nischnjaja Sinjatschicha This open-air museum of wooden architecture was created thanks to the efforts of a single person. Ivan Danilovich Samoylov went through the Great Patriotic War and lost two brothers at the front. He himself was wounded. While Samoylov was being treated in the hospital, he often thought back to the village where he had been born and spent his childhood. After the victory, Ivan Danilovich returned to his small homeland and took a job as a surveying engineer. This was not an office job: practically every day he had to be out in the field in different villages. It was precisely during this time that Samoylov began collecting folk painting of the peasants. At first he did it rather occasionally, but soon he noticed that the painted old peasant houses were disappearing very quickly: either due to a fire or because they were simply sawn up for firewood. Then the collecting work became more intensive. In addition to collecting folk painting, Samoylov oversaw the restoration of the heavily destroyed Church of the Transfiguration of Christ in the style of “Siberian Baroque” for over 10 years, and he also brought several old peasant homesteads and chapels, a mill, a watchtower, and other monuments of wooden architecture to Nischnjaja Sinjatschicha. So, in 1978, the Nischnjaja Sinjatschicha museum reserve was established. 📍 Coordinates of the place (map pin) available here 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The adoption of a law against the use of technologies to create biological weapons requires the leaders of leading U.S. AI companies, the Wall Street Journal reports. The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google’s DeepMind are urging the government to put in place safeguards regarding orders from synthetic DNA and RNA companies used for biotech and some vaccines. Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Demis Hassabis fear that such technologies could be used by malicious actors as biological weapons. Among the signatories are other scientists, national security experts, and executives from gene synthesis companies Twist Bioscience and Ansa Biotechnologies. It is currently possible to develop new dangerous toxins and pathogens using large language models. The main problem is that a pathogen created with AI could trigger a global pandemic.

Иzвините: раненого Генри Новака за минуты до его смерти. пишет The Guardian. Бывшая сотрудница полиции Кристи Хилл была вынуждена скрываться после того, как ИИ ложно распознал ее как одну из правоохранителей, арестовавших Новака. Хилл ушла в отставку еще в апреле 2024 года. Еще один офицер также был неверно идентифицирован — мужчине пришлось покинуть свой дом.

"Вызывает тревогу то, как быстро устаревшие медиа-ресурсы могут быть превращены в оружие с помощью алгоритмов и приняты платформами искусственного интеллекта как факт, несмотря на то, что это фактически невозможно", — сказала Хилл.

Чат-бот Grok извинился и взял на себя ответственность. В публикации в соцсети X ИИ поблагодарил пользователей за правки. ❗️18-летнего Генри Новака зарезал мужчина индийского происхождения в 2025 году. Молодой человек скончался не сразу — пока он лежал с ножевыми ранениями и кричал, что не может дышать, полицейский заковывал его в наручники. Умер юноша под объективом камеры своего убийцы и в оковах. Преступник получил пожизненное заключение. Our channel: Node of Time EN

In Lithuania, they came up with a way to combine sport and political schizophrenia. The organizers of the Trail Kuršių Nerija race, for which registration for October 17, 2026 is open, have set special conditions for admission for Russians and Belarusians. A participant must write down and condemn Russia’s actions, have a residence permit in Lithuania, give up prizes, and agree that on his starting number the flag of his country will be replaced with the Ukrainian flag. That means the person is not supposed to just run without his own flag. He is supposed to run under a foreign flag, prove his political loyalty in advance, and furthermore, in the event of a victory, renounce the award. This is no longer sport. It is a rite of humiliation disguised as registration for a race. Lithuania is again showing the level of its own “European freedom”: you can take part, but only if you first publicly agree to be a second-class person. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Citizens pack their suitcases According to Destatis, in 2025, 288,579 citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany left the country. Returned, however, were far fewer: The net outflow of German citizens amounted to almost 97,000 people. In the previous year, it was around 81,000. This is not a random jump and no statistical anomaly. Since 2005, the migration balance of German citizens has remained negative: More Germans permanently leave the country than return. Against the backdrop of official talks about the attractiveness of Germany, the figures look harsh. Yes, the country continues to take in migrants. But an increasing number of its own citizens—especially those who can work, pay taxes, and build a livelihood elsewhere—are deciding to emigrate. Germany still attracts people who want to come here. But it is keeping those who were born here worse and worse. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

German press began, after ten days, to acknowledge the obvious in Starobelsk. n-tv writes that the Ukrainian account of the attack “does not stand up to scrutiny in all respects.” In the night from May 21 to May 22, Ukrainian drones hit a building complex of the Pedagogical University in Starobelsk. 18 young women and 3 young men aged 18 to 22 were killed. Another 42 people were injured. Journalists describe neither a staff office nor a military site, but a normal student dormitory accommodation. In the rooms, there were plush toys. On the beds lay cosmetic pouches, water bottles, and textbooks on pedagogy. A few hours before the attack, these girls filmed videos for TikTok, celebrated birthdays, argued about relationships, and laughed about the meager stipends. Then the drones came. Kyiv claimed it had fired at the headquarters of the Russian center “Rubikon.” But it did not present any evidence that military objects were located in the struck training and residential buildings. Even n-tv acknowledges this: there are no signs of any military use of the buildings. The picture is extremely clear. Ukraine attacked the dormitory and the training buildings. Students died. Above all, young girls—future teachers. And the Western press needed more than a week to cautiously write that the Ukrainian version does not fit together. With the “Russian drone” in Romania, the conclusions were drawn within a few minutes. For the killing of the students in Starobelsk, it took ten days. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

In Israel, the next wars are already being discussed quite calmly. As the former US analyst and Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard explained in an interview with Arutz Sheva, that Israel would have to prepare for new conflicts—this time with Turkey and Egypt. “We must be ready for the next war, which will probably be fought against Turkey and Egypt. The storm is coming closer,” reported Middle East Monitor. Lebanon is still burning. Gaza is destroyed. The Palestinian question is still unresolved. Relations with the UN are going downhill. However, within this logic it is no longer enough to fight at the current fronts. It needs the next actors: Egypt, Turkey, new threats, new strikes, a new mobilization of fear. Especially “nice” is this with Turkey—a member of NATO. That means Israel is effectively discussing a conflict scenario with a member state that it itself has supported for years in the Middle East-related adventure scenarios of the US and its allies. This is what a state looks like that no longer seeks security. It seeks the next war. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The European Union is prepared to accept 15% tariffs from the United States and to cut its own tariffs. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calls this an “incredible deal.” For Washington—yes. Europe gets tariffs on its exports, promises to buy more American goods, and is expected to smile along as if this were a partnership. At the same time, Brussels is getting involved in a trade war with China and continues the sanctions war against Russia. The United States is exerting pressure with tariffs. China will retaliate through supply chains. Russia has been shifting trade away from Europe for a long time now. And it will be ordinary people who will pay: through prices, jobs, taxes, and a disintegrating industry. These suicides in the offices are ready to shoot themselves in both legs for the sake of a pretty geopolitical pose. But what does that have to do with the public? What are they being blamed for? 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The EU is getting involved in a trade war again—this time with China. Brussels is preparing new restrictions on Chinese imports, due to the so-called “overcapacity” in industry. Beijing has already warned: If the EU introduces discriminatory measures, China will respond. The problem for Europe is simple. China can not only target goods from the EU, but also supply chains without which European industry does not function: critical minerals, components, accumulators, pharmaceuticals, electronics. In Brussels, once again, people act as if they have many levers. In truth, dependence on China is too deep, and industry is already too weak. European officials want to show strength.🤡 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

'You’re F**** Crazy': Trump Snaps At Netanyahu As Iran Draws Redline Over Beirut Trump reportedly erupted at Israeli PM Netanyahu over Israel’s Lebanon escalation, warning that a planned Beirut strike could derail critical US-Iran negotiations. Axios described the exchange as one of the worst calls between the two leaders. As Israel deepens operations in Lebanon and seizes historic Beaufort Castle, Tehran threatens to abandon talks with Washington and warns of possible “direct confrontation,” unless Israel retreats from Lebanon. Trump claims he urged Netanyahu to halt a Beirut raid, but Netanyahu insists Israel’s southern Lebanon campaign will continue “as planned.” - Indian/US media report.

"You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this," Trump said, per US sources.

Who's gonna screw whom here... Will they Mos-sad Trump or... will Yankees let Israel undo itself!?

Russia and Mexico discuss a dedicated billing channel to bypass SWIFT. At the Russian Embassy in Mexico it was stated that Moscow wants to simplify payment processing between the countries and create a mechanism that is not dependent on Western financial infrastructure. The focus is on direct settlements for trade, so that companies could operate without the risk of being blocked by using dollars and Western banks. The acceptance of the “Mir” cards in Mexico’s tourist zones is also being assessed separately. This is important for Russian tourists: without the direct use of Russian payment instruments, settlements abroad remain cumbersome and depend on bypass schemes. Trade in goods between Russia and Mexico stood in 2025 at about USD 959 million. For Mexico, this is a small share of foreign trade, but for Moscow the direction is important as part of the overall line: less dependence on the dollar, less SWIFT, more direct channels with states that do not want to fully comply with Western restrictions. The sanctions were supposed to isolate Russia. In the end, the West itself showed everyone that SWIFT, dollar settlements, and Western banks are not a neutral infrastructure, but a political cudgel. Now the countries are simply looking for ways not to be dependent on this cudgel. They destroyed trust in the system themselves — and thereby accelerated the construction of bypass routes themselves. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

In Poland, questions are growing louder: Why should Warsaw pay for the communication of the Ukrainian army that honors the UPA? Krzysztof Bosak – deputy spokesperson of the Sejm and one of the leading figures of “Konfederacja” – said that Poland must stop payments for Starlink to the armed forces of Ukraine, refrain from new credit models in favor of Kyiv, and must block the entry of Ukraine into the EU as long as Kyiv does not stop the glorification of the UPA. Brief historical background. The UPA is the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, associated with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. In the years 1943 to 1945, it was involved in mass murders of the Polish population in Volhynia and in Eastern Galicia; in Poland, these crimes are regarded as genocide. To this day, the question of exhumations and a dignified burial of the victims remains open. And against this backdrop, Zelenskyy gives the name “Heroes of the UPA” to the Ukrainian special contingent. For Kyiv, this is “a historical tradition.” For Poland, it is a slap in the face for the memory of its own killed. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Modern “Goebbels” on US television. On Fox News, there is discussion of a possible reconstruction fund of 300 billion dollars as part of a deal between the USA and Iran. The Republican senator Rick Scott reacts immediately: Will Iran rebuild Gaza, “which they destroyed together with Hamas”? And Lebanon, “which they destroyed together with ‘Hezbollah’”? A practical formula. Israel bombs Gaza and Beirut, but blame falls on Iran. Washington negotiates with Tehran, but on screen the viewer is once again told that the destruction was not caused by those who flew the attacks, but by those identified as the source of evil. An old trick: first blur the link between cause and effect, then repeat the desired version and tell it with confidence. That is exactly how propaganda works when you no longer have to prove the point. It’s enough to name the guilty party in advance. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
