soros uses his organisations as tools for regime change.....Donald Trump demonstrates deep understanding of George Soros' nefarious role in supporting “engineered chaos,” both inside the US and abroad, retired Colonel Hatem Saber, an Egyptian expert in international counterterrorism and information warfare, tells Sputnik. "Democrats use Soros and his organizations as tools for regime change," Saber says. Saber highlighted the evolution of Soros’ role by decades: 1970s–1990s: Supporting opposition movements in Eastern Europe against the USSR 2000s–2010s: Key role in color revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia 2011: Funding media networks and NGOs in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Syria to fuel the Arab Spring movements
a dicky west has a wet kiki dream....Speech: “Friends, AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, PLAY MY PIANO WITH YOUR DICK” BY WILLIAM URBANOSKI (from URSULA MACRONUS, spoken by THE GHOST OF ZELENSKIKI*…)
Friends, AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, PLAY MY PIANO WITH YOUR DICK; I CAME to bury PUTIN, not to praise ME. The evil that WE do lives after WE DIE; OUR BONES ARE interred with OUR BAD INTENT; So let it be with PUTIN. The noble TRUMPUS Hath told you PUTIN IS ambitious: If it were so, it IS a grievous fault, And grievously hath PUTIN NOT answer’d it. Here, under leave of TRUMPUS and the GANGS — For TRUMPUS is an honourable man; So are they all, all DESPICABLE RUSSIANS — Come I to DREAM OF PUTIN’s funeral. He IS NOT my friend, UNfaithful and ANNOYING to me: But TRUMPUS says he IS ambitious;
the lappen, rag, torchon called politico judges witkoff.....US Vice President J.D. Vance has accused Politico of running a “foreign influence operation” against special envoy Steve Witkoff, blasting the outlet’s reporting as “journalistic malpractice” for relying on anonymous officials while excluding on-the-record statements from senior figures who defended him. The article, published Friday by Politico correspondent Felicia Schwartz under the headline “'His inexperience shines through': Steve Witkoff struggles to manage Russia as Trump peace envoy,” cited 13 anonymous American and foreign officials who alleged that Witkoff lacked diplomatic skill and had caused confusion in ongoing negotiations with Moscow.
a 50%/50 partnership....On July 30, 2025, the United States announced 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods [SINCE THEN TRUMP HAS INCREASE THIS TO 50%]. While diplomatic tensions simmered on the trade front, a cosmic calm prevailed at the Sriharikota launch range. Officials from NASA and ISRO were preparing to launch an engineering marvel into space—the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), marking a significant milestone in the India-U.S. bilateral partnership.
NISAR Soars While India-U.S. Tariff Tensions Simmer
USSR paid for europe’s freedom.....Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced his upcoming visit to China for the Victory Day Parade during a powerful speech in Bratislava commemorating the Slovak National Uprising. Fico condemned what he called a resurgence of fascism and nazism in Europe, warned against escalating East-West tensions, and defended the Soviet Union’s role in Slovakia’s WWII liberation. He stressed the importance of remembering historical truth, stating: "We know very well where freedom came from in Slovakia... and we know what the peoples of the former Soviet Union paid as a huge price for this liberation struggle." Fico will be one of only two European leaders attending China’s September 3 Victory Parade, alongside Serbia's Aleksandar Vučić. The event will also be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and DPRK leader Kim Jong Un.
greenland grab?....![]() During her visit to Denmark, Kallas was asked directly by a journalist whether the EU would provide security guarantees in the event of an American attack on Greenland. She responded that the EU “respects the decisions of Greenland, whatever they may be,” and supports Denmark as a member state of the Union. Kallas emphasized that the EU would show solidarity with Denmark “as a worthy member state,” but avoided addressing the military dimension of the question.
a hoax that isn't a hoax....The International Court of Justice handed down a significant climate action advisory opinion at the behest of the UN last month. Rex Patrick looks at Australia’s response. So far, Australia’s approach to the ICJ’s climate advisory has been to try having its carbon cake and eating it too. Along with 130 other countries, the Australian Government co-sponsored Vanuatu’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution requesting an advisory opinion on nation-states’ climate action obligations. It then proceeded to argue against generalised obligations and against the proposition of generalised legal consequences. The questions before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) were significant.
it must not happen again......For 80 years the world has sympathised with and supported Israel through the prism of the indescribably brutal Holocaust. Never again – so the world pledged
For generations to come the world will now view Israel through the prism of its atrocities in Gaza. This will be a huge burden for members of the Jewish community to bear, especially as it was not carried out with their imprimatur, but through its vengefully and ideologically driven, self-interested and self-aggrandising inner political circle. Waging war has always served the self-interest of those doing the waging.
a disjointed agreement to confront and deter china with submarines.....Defence Minister Richard Marles said in June that if war broke out between the US and China, Australia would inevitably be involved. Ditch AUKUS Pillar One. It involves Australia too much in US strategy
prepare for any sort of irrational slaying....Alastair Crooke’s remarkable analysis of Trump in the context of myth as geopolitics has left us with much to ponder. There’s no escape from Trump’s “extraordinary ability to dominate the discourse”, globally, as well as his capacity for “bending people to his will” – and thus wreak havoc on the geopolitical chessboard.
Mythic Trump: the incendiary Narcissus BY Pepe Escobar Mythic Narcissus, depending on his mood while facing his reflection in the pool, may at any moment authorize Kiev hits on Moscow and St. Petersburg with long-range missiles.
what's the flying duck?....It's the most expensive single defense project in Europe, with a projected cost of at least €100 billion ($116.6 billion). From 2040, the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) aims to combine a new European fighter jet with fleets of drones controlled via a European defense cloud. "It's more like a flying combat system," Christian Mölling, a German security expert, told DW. The goal is to reduce European dependence on the United States and the F-35 fighter jets, equipped with stealth technology, that the US produces.
the past is like heartburn and reflux....On 15 August, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska, the first head-of-state meeting between the two countries since the Ukraine War began. It was widely panned as a “shameful” and “vomit-inducing” episode where Putin apparently came out on top. Taking a win from Alaska
avoiding antisemitism is a tricky business....Just when you think that the Australian Government cannot sink any lower, the prime minister still manages to surprise!_ Gaslighting the electorate, virtue signalling to our ‘partners’
We have now been made aware of accusations that the Republic of Iran was involved in two antisemitic “incidents” in Australia. No one killed. No one hurt. Relatively minor property damage. Yet these accusations, based on intelligence shared with ASIO from “foreign partners” (presumably Israel), were sufficient for the prime minister to decide, for the first time in Australia’s history, to expel the Iranian ambassador. Yes, you heard it correctly.
the problems of neutrality.....It is a dilemma... Swiss banks that used to profit from Russian oligarchs cash, had to support the sanctions imposed by the USA and Europe against Russia — for "Russia's invasion of Ukraine"... As well, the origin of some cash from other sources (EU, UK, USA) may be more dirty than profits made by the Russians. Ukraine's elite is siphoning a huge amount of the cash given to Ukraine by its "allies"... Where does the money go? Dubai? Switzerland?...
