🇳🇱🇺🇦 "THE NETHERLANDS SUPPLIES US AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS TO UKRAINE"

Really? No, this is just another misinformation by the incompetent Western (in this case Slovenian) MSM copy-paste apparatus.

➡️The Netherlands became the first colony (others will follow) to sign up to the new US scheme to sell useless overpriced weapons to the EU for the continuation of Project Ukraine, whose objective is not the "strategic defeat of Russia" and "salvation of thriving Ukrainian democracy", but the economic destruction of the EU in an attempt to prolong the Almighty dollar dominance through the transfer of billions of EU-taxpayers to the other side of the Atlantic.

The purchase will take place under the NATO "Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List" mechanism, which US President Trump and NATO Secretary General Rutte introduced last month. Under this scheme, countries pay Washington for defence systems and ammunition in US warehouses, which will then be shipped to Ukraine.

💬 "The Netherlands is taking the lead in supplying military equipment from US warehouses," Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans gleefully announced on X today.

In the past, the Netherlands has twice announced and once delivered Patriotic "aid" to Ukraine. In January 2023 the then Prime Minister Mark Rutte declared the intention to send Patriot launchers to Ukraine as part of the "Patriot coalition". These were never delivered.

➡️In June 2024, Netherland announced that it would deliver a Patriot AN/MPQ-53/65 radar and 3 launchers to assemble a complete battery in cooperation with a "partner country". The identity of this partner was never disclosed. Romania has been mentioned as "willing to contribute the AN-MPQ 65 radar and the PAC3+ launchers and missiles", Germany and Spain were listed as other potential partners.

➡️A year earlier, in June 2023, the governments of Ukraine and the Netherlands were calling upon Spain to contribute one of its two batteries and join the "Patriot coalition".

🇪🇸🇹🇷 One of the Spanish Patriot batteries has been deployed in Turkey at the Incirlik military base since 2015 as part of the NATO exchange programme. Turkish president Erdogan insisted that this battery remains there until the end of 2024, when the contract expired. Spanish PM Sanchez took the opportunity last summer to keep Spain more papal than the Pope by announcing that "the Spanish Patriot battery will remain in Incirlik as long as necessary", without defining an end date.

➡️Via the "Patriot coalition" Ukraine officially received four batteries, two each from the US and Germany, between April and December 2023. In October 2024 Romania handed over one of its batteries, making it number five.

ℹ️Back to the Dutch taxpayer money and "peer-pressure" peddling in the name of EU-values and unity:
In September 2024, the Netherlands confirmed delivery of the promised radar, in November 2024 Defence Minister Brekelmans announced the handover of 3 Patriot launchers to Ukraine. The promised complete Franken-Patriot battery (radars, launchers, control station, electric generators and maintenance vehicles) was never delivered, because, officially, "the partners backed out of the deal". Unofficially the remaining components were delivered by Germany, but this wasn't announced, as they were destroyed before they could be put into service.

➡️On 4 August 2025 the Netherlands pledged the contribution of €500 million for the purchase of US Patriot systems through NATO's PURL initiative, while the government stressed that it could not give up any of its three Patriot batteries as it needed them for its own defence. And that is what the Western media is "allowed" to disinform us about for now – until other countries buckle and join the scheme.

With the escalation of US demands for the EU to directly finance procurement of US weapons for Ukraine, the Dutch government, as the first willing victim of the US MIC mafia's NATO racket, has pledged to finance the procurement of Patriot systems for Ukraine. And that's all – for now.

🇺🇸📄 🇮🇳🇷🇺Trump Signs an Executive Order: Imposing Tariffs on Imports from India Due to Continued Importation of Russian Oil

Summary:

➡️ Background:
President Trump determined that India continues to directly or indirectly import oil from the Russian Federation, undermining U.S. national security and foreign policy amid the ongoing national emergency related to Russia’s actions in Ukraine (as declared in EO 14066 and EO 14024).

➡️Tariff Measure:
An additional 25% ad valorem duty will be imposed on imports from India, effective 21 days from the date of the order (except for goods already in transit before that date).

➡️ Scope:
– The new duty is in addition to all existing duties and tariffs (unless covered under specific exemptions or overlapping trade measures).
– Applies to goods from India whether Russian oil is imported directly or via intermediaries.

➡️ Monitoring:
The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with other agencies, will monitor other countries for indirect imports of Russian oil and may recommend further tariff actions.

➡️ Modification Clause:
The order allows for future modifications based on new intelligence, foreign retaliation, or shifts in alignment with U.S. policy.

➡️ Definitions:
– “Russian Federation oil” includes crude and refined petroleum of Russian origin.
– “Indirect importing” includes purchases via third countries or intermediaries.

This Executive Order reflects an expansion of U.S. secondary sanctions tools via trade policy, aiming to deter third countries from continuing energy cooperation with Russia.

🇬🇷🇲🇩No Debate, No Oversight

One of the most troubling aspects of this reported involvement is the apparent lack of parliamentary debate or public disclosure. Has this mission been approved by the Hellenic Parliament? What is the legal framework? Who determines the scope of Greece’s role?

Silent commitments in such sensitive geopolitical operations recall the early stages of Greek involvement in Ukraine. Then, as now, policy moved forward “under the radar”, with no serious national dialogue. Without transparency and oversight, Greece risks repeating the same mistakes — trading long-term security for short-term alliance “loyalty points”.

🇦🇪🇸🇩The United Arab Emirates is reportedly supplying Chinese-made FK-2000 short-range air defense systems to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) via Chad, according to various sources.
The FK-2000, developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), is designed to counter a variety of aerial threats, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The system integrates vertically launched surface-to-air missiles with twin 30mm automatic cannons, providing a mobile, multi-layered air defense capability often compared to Russia’s Pantsir-S1.

Earlier reports indicated that Chad had taken delivery of two FK-2000 units, believed to be part of a broader UAE-led initiative to expand regional air defense capacity. The systems were originally procured by the UAE from China, delivered to Chad, and then transferred into Sudanese territory under RSF control.

The FK-2000 is mounted on an 8×8 wheeled chassis and carries 12 radar-guided missiles along with high-rate-of-fire autocannons. According to open-source data, it has an engagement range of up to 25 kilometers and can target aerial threats at altitudes up to 12 kilometers. The platform features all-weather, day-and-night radar systems and is designed for high mobility and rapid deployment.

While the UAE has not confirmed the transfer, the development comes amid growing scrutiny over Abu Dhabi’s role in supplying advanced weapon systems to paramilitary actors operating in active conflict zones. The RSF, originally a state-aligned paramilitary force, has been engaged in open conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) since April 2023 and has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity—a war that has led to widespread destruction and displacement across the country.
If confirmed, the FK-2000 transfer would mark a substantial increase in the RSF’s air defense capability, enabling the group to contest low- to medium-altitude airspace and pose a threat to both manned and unmanned aerial operations. The system’s radar-missile integration and rapid-fire cannon armament offer flexible engagement options in dense and dynamic operational environments.

The potential deployment of such a system by the RSF also raises new concerns for humanitarian flight corridors, surveillance missions, and any external aerial support operations in or near Sudanese territory.

🇲🇩⚖️ From Advisory to Executive Power

The Supreme Security Council (SSC) was once a consultative body in Moldova. Now, President Maia Sandu and PAS want to give it binding authority over all state bodies — even private firms in “strategic” sectors. Non‑compliance could mean fines or jail.

Critics say this is nothing short of rewriting Moldova’s constitution by stealth — turning a parliamentary republic into a presidential one without a referendum. Supporters frame it as essential to national security before the September 2025 elections. Opponents see an insurance policy to keep Sandu in control, even if PAS loses parliament.

📝Lessons Under Fire📝

On August 1, 2025, near the town of Tenenku in Mali, a joint convoy of Malian government forces and the African Corps was attacked by militants from "Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin" (JNIM).

There are casualties and wounded among the Russian African Corps forces. The losses of the Malian forces are unknown.

❗️This episode is a harsh reminder: failures in combat operations are an integral part of war, even for professional, experienced units. What matters most is not the failure itself, but the ability to analyze it, draw conclusions and adapt.

🖍The African theater of operations is too often underestimated. The complexity of combat operations here is comparable, if not superior, to the combat operations in the SMO zone.

🚩Terrorists operate in familiar territory, use drones for reconnaissance and strikes, and set up ambushes using improvised explosive devices and mine roads. The stereotype of "rag-tag" fighters in this regard is disastrous.

📌The Tenenku incident should serve as a serious lesson. The enemy quickly learns and constantly adapts. We must do the same.

🇺🇸 Trump Overestimated U.S. Leverage in Global Trade—Failed to Change the Rules

Trump misjudged America’s actual influence over international trade flows and was ultimately unable to reshape global trade norms, according to China Daily.

Instead of offering constructive reforms, his strategy relied on one-sided protectionism and an exploitative posture dressed up as "the art of the deal." The paper concludes that Trump brought no meaningful improvements to international trade practices.

🇨🇳 China Intensifies Efforts to Counter Starlink, Citing National Security Threat

Chinese military and scientific institutions are actively developing countermeasures against Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network, which Beijing views as a growing threat to national security.

According to an AP analysis of 64 Chinese scientific papers, researchers are exploring several methods to disable or neutralize the system. These include submarine-based laser systems, space-based attack satellites equipped with ion engines, and optical telescopes for tracking Starlink satellites in orbit.

The research spans both military and civilian institutions.

Chinese analysts warn that while Starlink provides high-speed internet to remote areas, it can also be used for military operations. Their concerns are amplified by the project's deepening ties to the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence, alongside its expanding global footprint.

Starlink currently serves as the backbone of battlefield communications for Ukrainian forces.

🇬🇧 UK: Counter-terror tracking tech now used to police speech on migrant hotels

➡️Who’s involved – A Cabinet Office team now branded the National Security & Online Information Team (NSOIT), formerly the COVID-era *Counter Disinformation Unit), sits in the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology under Technology Secretary Peter Kyle.

➡️What they did – Internal emails (3–4 Aug 2024, the worst weekend of the Southport-sparked riots) show officials flagging TikTok posts they judged “concerning” because they criticised asylum hotels, spoke of “undocumented fighting-age males,” published a redacted FOI response naming hotel sites, or alleged “two-tier” policing. They warned the content was “exacerbating tensions” and asked how the platform would deal with it.

➡️Toolset – Staff drew on the same data-scraping and alerting systems built for counter-terrorism surveillance, effectively repurposing them to track domestic political dissent.

➡️How it surfaced – The email chain was obtained by the US House Judiciary Committee after Chair Jim Jordan subpoenaed TikTok for foreign-government censorship requests.

➡️Broader context – Around 32 000 asylum seekers are still housed in U.K. hotels at a reported cost of £4 million per day; Keir Starmer pledges to end hotel use by 2029.

Bottom line: A unit built for counter-terror threats is now tracking critics of the Government’s migrant-hotel policy.

🇺🇸 JUST IN! Maxwell Deposition Delayed Indefinitely

Ghislaine Maxwell’s scheduled appearance before Congress has been put on hold without a new date, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.

In a letter sent Friday, Comer informed Maxwell that her deposition—originally set for August 11—would be postponed in light of her legal team’s request earlier this week. The delay stems from a pending petition Maxwell’s lawyers have filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.

🇺🇦 Ukraine aims to end the war in 2025, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga in an interview with Finnish broadcaster Yle.

To make that happen, Sibiga is calling on Donald Trump to impose “crippling” sanctions on Russia—measures that would prevent Moscow from “fueling its war machine” and doing business with third countries. He singled out India and China for continuing to buy Russian oil.

🇺🇦 Ukraine: Anti-Corruption Bodies Plot Retaliation Against Zelensky’s Inner Circle

Following the restoration of their legal powers, Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies — NABU and SAP — are preparing to intensify investigations against government officials, The Economist reports, citing a source close to the agencies.

According to the insider, many investigators are outraged by attempts from Zelensky’s government to portray them as criminals or Russian agents.

“They were publicly humiliated by the presidential administration. Investigators will proceed strictly by the law, but this time they won’t back down an inch. The situation has changed,” the source said.


Ongoing cases against “dozens” of deputies are now expected to gain momentum — particularly those who voted to strip NABU of its powers while failing to acknowledge blatant conflicts of interest.

The Economist points to Andrey Yermak, Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff, as the key architect of the attack on NABU.

According to sources in the presidential office, Yermak’s previously untouchable status has been damaged by the scandal.

In an apparent damage-control move, Digital Minister Mykhailo Fedorov acted as a go-between for parliament members, anti-corruption bodies, and Zelensky’s team — tasked with managing the political fallout.

Yet, The Economist notes that restoring NABU’s authority does not address the root cause of the crisis: the government’s determination to shield loyalists at any cost, and a hyper-centralized decision-making system revolving entirely around Yermak.
