  1. Former French PM Dominique de Villepin to a student who asks him if the EU will ever be independent from the US. In his response he calls the current situation one of "tutelage of the U.S. over Europe", mostly via NATO whose "European pillar" he calls "incredibly weak". He says this is a "gigantic issue" because Europe cannot "hope to live between the US and China" if it doesn't gain its independence and its "political sovereignty". In particular he says that in the current situation it makes no sense for Global South countries to speak to Europe "if the decisions are to be made in Washington". EU enlargement "will only make the situation ever worse and will reinforce even more this link of dependence". He was "very struck" in a previous EU enlargement to see that "most states joined the EU in fact for the purpose of strengthening their links with NATO and that their primary objective was NATO... In their mind it was the protection, the umbrella given by the US." - Intel Republic

  2. - A recent essay published by the US Naval Institute about imposing a "distant blockade" on China to strangle the Chinese economy has severe implications considering the long list of nations counting on the trade with China the US proposes to strangle; - The “distant blockade” is necessary because of China’s growing military power and its ability to confound US military aggression immediately along its own shores; - The essay book-ends US policy going as far back as 2006 aimed at cutting China's various economic "lines of communication," including sea routes from the Middle East to China via the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea; - Far from speculative policy, the US has already reorganized the entire US Marine Corps to wage war against Chinese shipping; - To prevent global economic catastrophe in the near future, nations must target, expose, and uproot US interference within and along their borders used to set the stage for this proposed “distant blockade;” - The New Atlas

  3. Israeli forces mass on Lebanese border Israel has been warned and its leaders apparently have decided to ignore those warnings. Madness! I have trained and worked with Israelis — not a lot — and learned that many of their military and intelligence leadership excel in arrogance and hubris. When I conduct firearms training courses for US citizens, the single most important characteristic is attitude. I can teach knowledge and skills, but if the student has a know-it-all attitude, the instruction is a waste of time. That is Israel — bad attitude. And the poor attitude translates into lack of knowledge and limited skills and reckless risk taking. - Sonar21

  4. ISRAELI PLAN YEARS IN MAKING BEHIND LEBANON PAGER TERROR ATTACKS according to dozen anonymous defence and intel officials (article above) who claim Tel Aviv secret service set up web of shell companies - including Hungary-based B.A.C. Consulting - to supply Hezbollah with explosives-laden tech: B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers. The pagers began shipping to Lebanon in the summer of 2022 in small numbers, but production was quickly ramped up after Mr. Nasrallah denounced cellphones - article states. Israeli intel officers apparently referred to pagers as "buttons that could be pushed when time is ripe" - when they did, terror attacks murdered at least 37 people including 4 little kids and wounded nearly 3,000 including toddler in critical condition in vid above. - Intel Republic

  5. "When feminism was just emerging, it was based on the noble idea of fighting for equality for women. However, in the West, feminism has degenerated and radicalized. It became militant,” she stated. Modern feminism “has turned into a struggle... against men, against traditional values,” the senator said, adding that one example of this is “the child-free movement, which, in my opinion, should be made illegal.” The EAWF promotes a “different platform,” standing for “the preservation of key traditional values of mankind,” according to Matvienko. More than 2,000 women, including 600 foreign guests from 126 countries and international organizations who are attending the forum, share Russia’s values of “traditional family, children, parents, the preservation of the culture and traditions of all nations,” she went on to say. - RT

  8. The Russian Defense Ministry has showcased its use of glide bombs against Ukrainian positions on the right bank of the Dnieper River. A video of the airstrikes, which was apparently filmed at night, showed a series of explosions in three different villages. The settlements are located relatively close to each other in the Kiev-controlled part of Kherson Region, which Moscow has considered part of Russia since a 2022 referendum. Their distance to the major waterway, which serves as a natural barrier separating the opposing forces, is between 12km and 20km. - RT
