Really does feel like we're living in the Terran Empire timeline alright.

Also has a very very healthy Russian bank account
This seems to be it.
Unbelievable-

How not to be seen
Having a very healthy account in a Russian Bank is not the healthiest place to have it currently……
Seeing how Trump admin is deliberately dismantling the judiciary branch and destroying intelligence and enforcement agencies like FBI
And Putin seems to hold some sort of incredible sword of Damocles over Trumps neck
I suspect in a few years we will hear that some of these kidnapped by Russians kids were human trafficked into MAGA peado abuse circles or worse
It’s not bank accounts in Russia that drives these ghouls
Authorities in Russia’s Oryol Oblast will begin offering 100,000 rubles (about $1,080) to school-age girls who register their pregnancies and give birth, under a new regional plan to boost birth rates.
I don't suppose not sending a million off to fertilise foreign soil in the first place would occur to these Orcs?
While there is no arguing that Trump & Co are immoral untrustworthy cnuts, it seems to me the bigger picture here in relation to USA-Russia relations is likely and attempt to undermine/damage Chinese-Russian relations.
The war has helped to grow Russian dependency on China and deepen the alliance between them.
The world's biggest user of natural resources and it's biggest supplier, both autocratic regimes building an alliance is bad news for the USA and more broadly the west..
If China is to move on Taiwan, it'll be a risky amphibious invasion. Seemingly they are developing special craft just for such an invasion. The primary problem for China is that a drawn out invasion is going to severely disrupt their energy supplies.
Other than Kazakhstan, Russia is the only crude oil supply that doesn't need save passage around the South China sea. Taiwan can't compete militarily with China but a dispersed and armed militia with drones and access to munitions could make for a very difficult prolonged invasion.
Oil supplies from Russia increased in 2024 despite China's overall demand dropping. There is currently two new pipelines bringing oil/NG from Russia into China. If China wants redundancy/backup to head off being bogged down in a protracted naval war in the South China Sea Russia is the only show in town.
The Trump administration see China as their primary threat and there is little arguing with the numbers be they in relation to military capability, AI, economic output etc etc.
I think Trump is prepared to gut Ukraine in an attempt to disrupt Russia-Chinese relations. Fully arming Ukraine and pushing Russia back to its borders and perhaps leading to a regime change in Russia is likely to lead to closer Russia/Chinese ties.

Mehhh … there's rather a lot of out-of-date information in those reports. China has pulled out of the pipeline projects, and only this week it was reported that they're cancelling contracts for Russian oil imports because they're worried about secondary sanctions.
Downtown Moscow on Fire.
Nothing to suggest UAF action yet, could just be an actual accidental fire.
Considering it's daytime in the video, this is probably the fire from earlier.
Hey, 'Murica - that's a nice non-contiguous state you have there, to the north of us. Be a shame if anything happened to it …
"The Canadian province of British Columbia has announced new restrictions on U.S. commercial traffic headed to Alaska, including transit fees and low-carbon fuel requirements such as hydrogen and biofuels. [...] "Alaska is geographically isolated from the mainland U.S., and its accessibility heavily depends on cooperation with Canada. If Ottawa decides to play hardball, Washington may be forced to reckon with its real dependence on Canadian routes and infrastructure."
I'm sure Trump isn't worried - sure isn't Russia only short stretch of water away. He can always ask that nice Mr. Putin to ferry supplies to Alaska instead.
There was rumours of high ranking officers onboard those helicopters
There is a bigger issue with that theory
It assumes Trump is capable of planning and gives a **** about China and is some sort of a geopolitical mastermind
His actions (not his words) such as **** on all his allies but barely touching China since he came to power illustrate otherwise
Yeah - I'm getting really fed up with just about every "news" plaform - mainstream and alternative media - reporting on every stupidity that dribbles out of his mouth (or ass … hard to tell the difference). The man is a doddery old fool living in the past, and obviously has no grasp on reality. Even if the American platforms feel the need to agonise over whatever nonsense he's spouted today - for the benefit of those who voted for him - I don't see why our European journalists should give him airtime until he's actually done something that matters.
While this would have been great, these 4 helicopters were parked, on the ground, when they were struck. It is unlikely that anyone was inside.
Putin gifted a painting to Trump
Just been released .
Even so it shows Ukraine is able to target anywhere. Well behind the front lines and on to Moscow. The General mentioned is said to be missing.
It is actually even better than that. The helicopters were there to transport and provide support for troops trying to counter the Ukrainian infiltration into the Belgorod oblast. So they where there because of Ukrainians that called HIMARs on them :)
I see there's a new Nazi grouping that's supported by the Kremlin in Russia to be their jackboots on the ground at local authority meetings. These are called the "Russian Community". Dress in black, men, aim to be intimidating, go enmass and have consent of those directly linked to the Kremlin.
These were in Novosibirsk. The new face of Putin, Tucker Carlson, Trump world.
Hitler back again.
It’s pretty certain now the Trump administration is sharing intel on Ukraine with Russia.
Hopefully the EU has something brewing in the background that means Ukraine can cut all ties with America.
Surely that's a non-runner? Whatever about delivery of hardware, we saw only a couple of weeks ago Ukraine's reliance on the likes of Starlink, which is effectively a US Govt. apparatus now. I'd be highly sceptical that the EU has the capacity to replace that kind of tech and intel, even for it's own uses? We seem desperately dependent on the US as an ally for a lot of that kind of stuff?
Apart from the amateur hour security and mental level of the 3rd raters running the US, I'd draw attention to the Pete Hegseth, secretary of hair gel, comments about his hatred of Europe. Really something when you consider nearly the entirety of Moslem animosity towards the west is founded in justified hatred of Israel and the US enabling of it. The Houthis attacking shipping is because of this but this POS sees it as Europe who should be footing the bill for the US and Israelis being shit heads?
The US is being run by simpletons.
I don’t see any other choice.
If Ukraine continues to rely on America they are finished.
I'd say the DGSE of France or MI6 of Britain would have intel on Russia and the ability to monitor much there even now. Hard to say with these type of agencies for obvious reasons.
They are working on European alternatives to Starlink using existing satellites in the near term, Eutelsat being one, and more Starlink like alternatives in the future. The EU is also working on more capable military surveillance satellites than those already deployed. Both the French and British have several. In addition, a lot of targeting intel is being gained from multiple different aircraft platforms. Ukraine actually bought their own synthetic aperture radar satellite using funds from the largest fund raising event of the whole war.
Some years ago the UK developed a leading edge stealth drone called Taranis, that was AI driven, that could perform reconnaissance as well as deliver ordnance. It made it's first test flight in July 2014 at Australia's Woomera test range and hasn't been heard of since. I'd imagine it likely is in service and being put to use. It was as if it were purpose built for this conflict being intended for use in contested airspace.
The US have the best of such systems, but it isn't game over if they pull the plug.
The real danger the US poses at this stage is supplying the Kremlin with intel and the other background quiet support that they were providing to Ukraine before the Russians conquered America.
There is an upside to this war
It has shown that hundreds of billions don’t need to be spend to defend against much larger states
It also shown the importance of nuclear deterrents and cooperation with like minded neighbours (and dangers of including likes of Hungary and US in anything as important as European defence)
Drones, mines, missiles and basic physical defences have proven enough to bleed any attackers dry, i see Baltics and Poland dropped out of mine related treaties and mining/fortifying their borders
It hasn’t sunk in yet to likes of Lockheed and Boeing but their days are numbered
Absolute nonsense. Ukraine has been given something like €240 billion in aid so far just to keep from going under. That is of course in addition to what it's spent itself.
There is no 'up' side to this war, it's absolutely shockingly terrible.
