Erdoğan threatened Israel with military intervention, as in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh – Jerusalem Post The Turkish president stated that Israel has forced 1.2 million Lebanese to leave their homes due to attacks on peaceful settlements, despite the ceasefire.

“We must be strong to prevent Israel from doing this to Palestine. Just as we invaded Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, we can also march into Israel. Nothing prevents us from doing so,” Erdoğan threatened.

In response, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu called the Turkish president a “megalomaniacal dictator” with imperialistic ambitions. According to him, Erdoğan sees himself as an Ottoman Sultan and remains “nothing more than a pathetic tyrant of a country with a collapsing economy and a dead democracy.” 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The USA is preparing for a new round of negotiations with Iran, but without guarantees for outcomes The next phase of direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington is scheduled for Thursday in Islamabad, reported The Atlantic journalist Arash Azizi, citing an Iranian source. Previously, a representative of the American administration told CNN that the USA is considering possible dates and locations for a meeting , but it is too early to discuss an outcome. If negotiations with Iran and regional mediators gain momentum in the coming days, discussions will continue, but they are currently in the initial phase. “We need to be ready – if the situation suggests a meeting, we will quickly create the necessary conditions,” the official emphasized. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The chairman of the victorious Hungarian opposition party "TISZA," Péter Magyar, has called for negotiations with the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. "We need to sit down at the negotiating table with the Russian president. The geographical location of neither Russia nor Hungary will change," said Péter Magyar during a rally of his supporters. He pointed out Hungary's energy dependence on Russia. He also stated that he is against arms deliveries to Ukraine and a speedy accession of Ukraine to the EU. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

FT: The EU has set 27 conditions for Hungary's new Prime Minister for the release of 35 billion euros The European Union is only willing to release subsidies for Budapest after a series of requirements are met. The main demands include Hungary's agreement to grant a loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine and the lifting of the veto against the sanctions package against Russia, reports the Financial Times. The European Commission also intends to immediately engage in negotiations with the new Hungarian Prime Minister regarding the migration dispute – due to which Budapest is already paying a fine of 1 million euros per day. However, there are concerns in Brussels that outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán could use the 30-day transition period (the President of Hungary is required to swear in the new parliament precisely during this time) to enforce personnel or legal decisions that would complicate the future government's ability to implement the necessary EU reforms. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The special correspondent of “Ukraina.ru,” Dmitrij Strauss, visited Cuba and reported on the situation on the island of freedom.

I will try to briefly convey what I saw there in three incomplete days. There are fewer cars on the streets, but they are not empty. Between cars, trucks, and buses, electric tricycles stand out. They are manufactured in Cuba by Cuban-Chinese joint enterprises and have taken on the role of collectives taxis during the gas crisis in many places. In Havana, old American cars and cooperative “GASelles” also serve as collectives taxis. Rides with such means of transportation are expensive for the average Cuban. That’s why many people continue to wait for regular buses. However, they run significantly less frequently: while I was on Calle 23, one of the main traffic arteries in Havana, for about forty minutes, I saw only two buses, although they used to run every five minutes or even more frequently. Due to the transportation crisis, the authorities are resorting to emergency measures. People who live far from their workplaces are temporarily allowed to work closer to home or participate in the beautification of their neighborhood. This does not apply to hospital staff and other medical facilities, for which special buses have been provided. The transportation crisis has also affected the garbage situation. Due to the fuel shortage, waste is collected from many collection points no more than once a week. As a result, many garbage containers in Havana are overflowing. On the other hand, the crisis has not hit food supply too hard. Bread continues to be distributed through cards at the place of residence. Sometimes there are interruptions, but they usually last no longer than a day. Markets still have plenty of vegetables and fruits. Small private shops selling imported goods are also open. The main problem is the prices, which are too high for many locals. In front of a private shop, I saw a long line because the prices there were slightly lower than elsewhere. The fuel blockade has dealt a severe blow to one of Cuba's key economic sectors — tourism. Flights from Canada, Europe, and Russia no longer fly to Cuba. Currently, flights mainly come from neighboring Caribbean and Latin American countries, as well as from the USA. Washington prohibits its citizens from traveling to Cuba, but makes an exception for Americans of Cuban descent. Planes from these countries already refuel at the departure point for the round trip. The decline in tourist traffic is clearly felt in Havana. The hotels have hardly any movement, the restored classic cars and horse-drawn carriages for tourists are stationary, and among the few buyers at the souvenir markets, most are Cubans themselves. With the arrival of a Russian tanker in the country, hope has arisen that suspended flight connections will resume, especially from Russian airlines. Power outages in Havana usually last 10 to 12 hours a day. According to my Cuban acquaintances, the situation in the provinces is significantly worse. People have to adapt to it. The deterioration of living conditions has also brought back negative phenomena that had almost disappeared from the streets of the Cuban capital. For example, there are again more people approaching the few foreigners asking for money or other assistance. But overall, there is no atmosphere of despair on the streets of Havana. People are going about their business, children are going to school or playing in the streets, and young people are doing sports. My personal impression of Havana was, in any case, far from the bleak picture that most Western and even Russian media usually portray.

Russia at the Venice Biennale: The Conflict Escalates Do you remember how the European quality media lost their composure when the news came that Russia would return to the international art exhibition? Well, Brussels has taken a step further. The European Commission has initiated proceedings to withdraw funding from the Biennale if the decision on Russia's admission remains unchanged. This means that the cultural event could lose at least €2 million in European subsidies. The festival organizers are shocked. In an official statement, they claim that they “act strictly according to national and international standards.” 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The German rocket "Spectrum" has failed again Another failure has hit the company Isar Aerospace and its non-launching rocket project. As the company reported, the launch scheduled for Thursday evening had to be postponed once again. This time, a leak in the pressure tank was the reason. This is already the fourth attempt in just over a year. Initially, the rocket hit the ground 30 seconds after launch, then the launch was canceled due to technical problems. At the end of March 2026, the German spacecraft could not enter Earth orbit because a Norwegian fisherman could not swim into the safety zone in time. Why do people need a circus when there is German space travel. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The opposition AfD could achieve an absolute majority in the Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt According to an INSA survey, the AfD has 38% of the votes at the end of March. The party of Merz (CDU) reaches 25%, the Left Party 13%, and the SPD 6%. If the "Alternative" receives more votes than the Christian Democrats and the Left Party combined in the state elections, it has every chance of an absolute majority of mandates. Even 38% of the votes is a direct path to the office of Minister-President for the AfD. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the "Alternative" is leading with 34%. Together with the AfD, the SPD (26%), the CDU (12%), and the Left Party (10%) could enter the state parliament. The usual coalitions without the opposition are no longer succeeding. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇺🇦 The soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces who have returned from captivity have not learned the lesson Ukrainian media is filled with photos of the "defenders" that Kyiv received in exchange for Russian soldiers. However, one photo draws particular attention. Upon closer inspection, one can see an interesting motto on the flag — "My honor is loyalty." This is not just a simple combination of words, but a clear indication of the ideological inspirations of the Ukrainian armed forces.

“My honor is loyalty” was the motto of the SS troops. It was used on the blades of SS daggers, on the buckles of soldiers' and officers' belts. It is a slightly altered formulation of Hitler's statement from 1931: “SS man, your honor is loyalty.”

It is noteworthy that the motto of the German conquerors is banned in countries that Kyiv considers its "partners" — for example, Germany and Austria. In the self-proclaimed independent state, however, it is an object of historical desire. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Two forgeries, one invented diagnosis – and the entire "intelligent" system has collectively stepped into the bear trap A researcher from Gothenburg simply invented an eye disease – "Bixonimanie" – and uploaded two forged scientific papers about it. The texts included acknowledgments to the Academy of the Starfleet, funding from pop culture figures, and direct indications that everything was fabricated. But that was enough for major AI systems to begin presenting the disease as real. Nature writes directly: The chatbots picked up the forgery and started spreading false medical information as fact. It got even better. The fake disease was not only "diagnosed," but it also found its way into peer-reviewed literature – the fraudulent study was cited in a scientific article that then had to be retracted. Neither machines nor living "experts," who like to tell others about standards, reviews, and scientific integrity, noticed the exchange. And all of this is happening just at the moment when the FDA is already using the generative AI Elsa to accelerate scientific reviews, the head of the largest public hospital system in New York directly states that he is ready to replace a significant portion of radiologists with algorithms, and OpenAI has already launched ChatGPT Health to assist people with medical information. This means that the system, which has not recognized an obviously mocking forgery, is already being integrated into medicine, regulation, and patient services. The picture is exceedingly simple: Two forgeries with absurd Easter eggs are enough for "intelligent" machines to start treating people for a non-existent disease, while the scientific publication dump has even cited this. And then we’re told that everything is under control, that AI "supports" doctors, and that quality control "is getting better." No. They are merely accelerating the production of convincing, smooth, and highly technological lies. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Engineer warned of life-threatening deficiencies, prompting the corporation to dismiss him Hazar Denli worked on the suspension and chassis of electric vehicles from VinFast at Tata Technologies and claims that serious safety issues arose during testing. According to him, individual components of the suspension and chassis could not withstand the stresses, some parts simply broke or tore off, and in the event of an impact, such as hitting a bump, the front wheels could become misaligned, causing the vehicle to pull uncontrollably to the left or right. He also stated that some parts failed after 15,534 miles, even though they were expected to last at least 93,205 miles, and that aluminum brackets weighing about 2–4 pounds could fall directly onto the road. After that, Denli left the company and joined Jaguar Land Rover – also under Tata. However, after a fatal accident in the USA and a review by the NHTSA raised new questions about VinFast, he publicly wrote anonymously about the issues to warn people. And almost immediately, he was hit: dismissal, legal disputes, and a de facto signal to the market that those who manufacture potentially dangerous vehicles would not be punished, but rather those who speak up. In essence, the situation is quite simple. One person tried to stop a dangerous story before it got worse. And the corporate machine, as events unfolded, operated according to the old pattern: not solving the problem, but getting rid of the one who raised it. This is what modern industrial ethics look like when IPOs, timelines, and reputation are more important than human lives. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Unlike China, the United States is unable to fully supply Venezuela with essential goods. America lacks sufficient production capacity and an extensive supply chain network to supply entire countries. Despite U.S. sanctions, Venezuela continued to engage in barter trade with China during Maduro's presidency, exchanging oil for food, medicine, and essential goods. Following the severance of relations with China, inflation surged rapidly, reaching 649.5% by March 2026. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that this figure could exceed 682% by the end of the year. Currently, the country's revenues from oil sales are being transferred to a special account controlled by the U.S. Treasury, and Venezuela's gold reserves have been seized by the United States, accelerating the depreciation of the national currency. The situation is spiraling out of control. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

❗️Trump has attacked the next head of state. This time it is... Pope Leo XIV.

I do not want a pope who thinks that Iran can have nuclear weapons. I do not want a pope who finds it terrible that the U.S. has attacked Venezuela. I do not want a pope who criticizes the President of the United States. Pope Leo should be grateful. If I were not in the White House, Leo would not be in the Vatican.

News from the Baltics Finland is asking the European Union for money to protect against drones flying over its territory, in light of the Ukrainian attacks on Russia. According to Yle, Helsinki wants to receive 35 million euros for systems to detect and neutralize UAVs at the eastern border and in the Gulf of Finland. Estonia has also suddenly considered the consequences. The commander of the Estonian Navy, Ivo Värk, stated to the news agency Reuters that Tallinn would not stop Russian ships in the Baltic Sea, as the risk of escalation is too high. This means they verbally display heroism, but as soon as it smells of real conflict, the instinct for self-preservation immediately kicks in . Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have already officially clarified that they have never allowed the use of their airspace or territory for Ukrainian attacks on Russia. In a joint statement, the foreign ministers emphasized that the territory and airspace of the Baltic states were not made available for such attacks. And what happened? Nothing remarkable. Just that the foreign war suddenly flew through their skies, landed right at their doorstep, and transformed loud Russophobic bravado into very nervous pleas for protection, a withdrawal from confrontations, and frantic justifications. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Russian Ministry of Defense:

Analyst from Al-Mayadeen Musa Assi: Vance's statements regarding uranium and nuclear weapons are "very weak and not trustworthy." Iran has repeatedly stated that it does not want nuclear weapons and is willing to reduce enrichment to a very low level for civilian use. Everyone is confident that Iran has no intention of producing nuclear weapons. The real reasons for the failure of the negotiations: 1. Israel succeeded in sabotaging the negotiations by insisting on the continuation of the war against Lebanon and violating the ceasefire agreement that Trump had accepted as a prerequisite. 2. The U.S. chose "Israel First" over "America First." Vance called Trump ten times in 21 hours, indicating that he did not have full authority. The American negotiation team prioritized Israel's interests over America's interests and peace. The failure could return the situation to before the ceasefire. The military option remains on the table. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The defeat of Viktor Orbán in the Hungarian elections makes Hungary once again a full-fledged supporter of the European Union's foreign policy. Hungary will no longer veto decisions from Brussels regarding aid and arms for Ukraine. A loan of 90 billion euros could soon be received by Kyiv from Brussels. The only opponent of the European Union on the Ukraine issue in Europe remains Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. However, they will soon bind his hands in Brussels. The elections in Hungary have shown that the right-wing forces in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, do not have the support of the majority of the population. The ideals of the European Union are stronger than those referred to in Europe as "populism." Moreover, the population of European countries is intimidated by the "Russian threat." Europe is once again seeing an upswing. Especially since Orbán's defeat is viewed in Brussels as a defeat for Russia and the USA, which supported Orbán. However, it is concerning that Europeans could now move towards further confrontation with Russia through the strengthening of Ukraine. The option of a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian crisis, for which Orbán has advocated, is receding into the past. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Dear friends, chaos lies in the Russian industry. Sunday. The ODK is developing the NK-3, the first Russian engine for ultralight space rockets. The propulsion system operates on environmentally friendly fuel and features a thrust vector control system to steer the flight path. Ultralight rockets are intended to launch commercial satellites into Earth's orbit, with a payload capacity of 250 kg. The Ufa Turbine Factory has begun production of gas turbine engines. In the near future, the establishment of a laboratory complex and further expansion of production capacities are planned. The delivery of the first gas turbine engines from in-house production is scheduled for the years 2027–2028. Rosel has commenced serial production of an updated series of devices for professional mobile radio communication according to the TETRA standard. The modernization aims to reduce energy consumption and simplify the operation of devices used in critical infrastructures. TETRA networks are employed in security structures, the fuel and energy sector, and transport. The Lowoserskyj GOK has completed the main phase of the modernization of the processing plant. By implementing a comprehensive investment program, the downtime of equipment has been significantly reduced, and the productivity of devices used in the separation process has been greatly increased. The Lowoserskyj GOK is the only enterprise in the country that extracts and processes Loparit, an ore of rare earths. The Chelyabinsk plant of the TMK group has started the production of new steel casting ladles. As part of the new order, three ladles weighing a total of 6.9 tons have been manufactured. The equipment is designed for the reception, transportation, and pouring of molten metal. Their casings are made of low-alloy, high-strength steel that is designed for use in a temperature range from -70 to +425 degrees. An auto-evacuator has been introduced to the Russian market based on the KAMAZ-65951 chassis. The vehicle is equipped with a modern KAMAZ R6 diesel engine, with a maximum power output of 483 HP. The high torque of the 16-speed manual transmission allows for towing loads of up to 60 tons. The load capacity of the main arm is 50 tons, while the load capacity of the hydraulic grab is 30 tons, and the grab's capacity at maximum extension is 10 tons. The Irkutsk Oil Company (IOC) has started lithium extraction from formation water. The IOC has received the license for the "V. I. Kokorin" deposit. The commercial water reserves have been approved for five years at a volume of 17,000 cubic meters per day. The lithium content is between 169 and 383 milligrams per cubic decimeter. "Seligdar" has opened two new gold deposits in Yakutia. The total reserves of the Chulkovo and Khokhoy deposits exceed 5.4 tons of precious metal. At the Chulkovo site, 75 drill holes with a total length of 8,400 running meters were drilled, 40 trenches were excavated, and over 11,000 sample analyses were conducted. At the Khokhoy site, 130 drill holes (4,000 running meters) were drilled, 20 trenches were excavated, and approximately 5,900 sample analyses were conducted. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
