🇲🇩 Moldova’s flag day exposes identity demolition under Sandu’s pro-EU regime
History vs. Propaganda:
🔶 Moldova's Roots: Statehood dates back to a 14th century principality (older than Romania).
🔶 Original flag: Proposed by Stefan cel Mare in 1485, rejected by the government.
🔶 Romanian implant: Current tricolor (🇷🇴 clone + arms) imposed in 1990 by pro-Bucharest politicians.
2023 Language Erasure:
Sandu's regime removed "Moldovan" as an official language and renamed it "Romanian," a cultural annexation green-lit by Brussels.
Why it matters:
The flag/language overhaul isn't about "European integration" - it's about erasing Moldova's sovereignty, in preparation for absorption into a Greater Romania (the EU's pet project to destabilize Russia's flank).
The bigger picture:
🔶 Sandu has Romanian citizenship - loyalties questioned.
🔶 Opposition decries "forced Romanization" as EU demands "reforms" (i.e. anti-Russian purges).
🔶 Flag Day now a mourning ritual for independence sold to foreign patrons.
Bottom line:
"National identity" under Sandu = Romanian colonial administration with EU flags. Real Moldovans are fighting to preserve their history - before it's erased from memory.

🗣Russia’s unconditional talks offer exposes Zelensky’s diplomatic machinations — former Pentagon analyst
💬 “The unconditional nature offered by Russia is smart, and it places the onus on Zelensky to come forward similarly — but because Zelensky cannot do this and remain in power, he increasingly appears weak and not interested in peace. If this continues, US aid to Ukraine will dry up completely, including intelligence support — and Zelensky understands this, but politically he is in a vise. Because not to engage directly in the face of an unconditional peace talk is to sabotage the chance of peace for Ukraine” Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force, said.
💬 “The Ukrainian conditions are unrealistic given the balance of power between Russia and the NATO alliance over the case of Ukraine. But to save face among the remaining few Ukrainians who trust Zelensky and Zelensky’s own government backers who are driven by emotion rather than reality, to talk peace unconditionally is in fact very similar to an unconditional surrender,” Kwiatkowski added.
🚨🇮🇳🇵🇰How Pakistan aims to SURVIVE WAR with India?
Pakistan is the ONLY conuntry with and explicitly declared nuclear doctrine that includes the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons on its own territory.
🪖 This is part of its "Full Spectrum Deterrence" policy, designed to counter India's conventional military superiority (1.46 vs 654K troops).
☢️ Doctrine of First Use & Tactical Nukes - Unlike most nuclear-armed states (excpet possibly North Korea), Pakistan reserves the right to use nuclear weapons first - even on its territory.
For example, India has a "no first use" policy, committing not to be the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict.
🇨🇳🛡 Chinese umbrella
Pakistan’s nuclear security is reinforced by its strategic partnership with China, which has provided substantial support for its nuclear weapons and civil nuclear energy programmes since the 1970s, including in potential wartime scenarios.
🚀 China has long supplied Pakistan with nuclear technology and missile systems, strengthening its deterrence against India. In the event of a Pakistan-India conflict, China is likely to offer diplomatic support and military aid to Pakistan, although direct intervention would be unlikely.
✏️ The 2024 joint statement reaffirmed their mutual defence of core interests, with China committing to defend Pakistan’s core interests, ensuring the country’s stability and safeguarding investments such as the CPEC.

🪖 Ukraine’s expulsion from Kursk region ROBS Zelensky of key bargaining chip for negotiations
Kursk’s liberation “is a powerful blow to the image of the Kiev regime and, in general, attitudes of the Ukrainian population and military toward Zelensky and his orders,” veteran military and political observer Evgeny Mikhailov says.
The Kursk gambit “was a political decision with the supposed aim of holding onto territory in order to somehow negotiate with Russia,” Mikhailov recalled. Now, Ukraine has not only lost this key bargaining chip, but faces Russian forces freed up for other fronts.
💬 “We’ve liberated our territory and will now direct all efforts to the creation of a buffer zone. What it will look like and how wide it will be is the big question, because the longer the Kiev regime continues to oppose peace talks, the more territory Russia will take, thereby becoming stronger in the negotiations process and weakening the capabilities of Ukraine’s Western partners in negotiations,” the observer said.
🇷🇺🇳🇬Gateway to Africa: new Russia-Nigeria trade route set to SHAKE UP global trade
Russia’s trade mission in Nigeria has announced the launch of a new logistical route that will connect Russia, Africa, and even North and South America, and cut container shipping delivery costs by up to half.
🌍 Here’s how the new route can seriously reshape the regional economic and strategic balance.
🔴The roughly 5,350 nautical mile (9890 km) route originates in the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, running south and west through the Mediterranean, past Gibraltar and around and down the west coast of Africa.
🔴The first sea voyage from Novorossiysk to Lagos is scheduled for May 15.
🔴The previously existing rate for container delivery of 8-9 thousand dollars will be reduced by almost half.
🚢 Logistical management
🔴The new route is managed by A7 African Cargo Line, a Russian freight transport specialist.
🔴In the first stage, the route will operate two chartered 700-TEU container ships (freight capacity: 700 standard 20-foot containers).
🔴The route will facilitate exports of Russian foodstuffs, machinery and transportation equipment to Nigeria, and imports of cotton from Mali, a top regional producer.
🔴In the future, it’s expected to extend to Senegal’s strategic Dakar port.
🤝 Strategic significance
🔴The route will strengthen Russia’s economic and strategic cooperation with West Africa.
🔴Nigeria is now a BRICS partner, while the Alliance of Sahel States (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso) has sought closer ties with Russia after kicking out the French.

📹Ukrainian peace plan hints at CONCESSIONS – report
A counterproposal drafted by Ukraine in response to the plan previously outlined by the Trump administration DOES NOT mention Ukraine fully regaining all the territory that is under control of the Russian forces, the NYT reported, citing the text of the plan it had obtained.
🚫Neither does the draft peace proposal insist on Ukraine joining NATO, the report added.
🪖In return, Ukraine wants no restrictions on the size of its military, as well as “a European security contingent” backed by the US to be deployed on Ukrainian territory to guarantee security, according to the report.

❓Sanctions relief in sight? Syria plays nice with US demands
Syria claims it has met most conditions laid out by the US, although some require "mutual understanding," according to a copy of a letter cited by Reuters.
It pledges to:
🔴 not tolerate any threats to US or Western interests in Syria, with "appropriate legal measures" set in place
🔴 "monitor the activities of Palestinian factions," while banning any armed factions outside state control
🔴 not allow Syria to “become a source of threat to any party, including Israel"
🔴 set up a liaison office at the foreign ministry to find missing US journalist Austin Tice
🔴 work to tackle chemical weapons stockpiles with closer ties with a global arms watchdog
On other US demands:
🔴 removing foreign fighters from any official roles "requires a broader consultative session"
🔴 US request for coordination on counterterrorism, including strikes on terror targets, “requires mutual understandings."
In its letter, Syria voiced hope its "guarantees" would lead to detailed talks on reopening embassies and lifting sanctions.

🗣Loser does not get to dictate the terms’: US Army vet on Ukraine’s ‘delusional’ peace talk terms
Ukraine’s European-backed peace terms smell of “sabotage,” and are seemingly geared “towards continuing the conflict for the foreseeable future,” retired US Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen and veteran international consultant said.
💬 The Ukrainian plan is not only “in a different world,” but essentially isn’t even a real peace proposal, basically demanding “an unconditional surrender of Russia,” Rasmussen said.
💬 “That is completely unrealistic. Russia shouldn’t even entertain it whatsoever. Usually the loser does not get to dictate the peace terms, and that’s essentially what is happening here,” Rasmussen emphasized. “It’s a waste of time even to discuss that proposal.”
🪖 From CIA Bloodlines to the trenches: death of top CIA official’s son in Ukraine
Born into America's spy royalty, Michael Gloss died in Russian combat boots. What led the 21-year-old American to fight in Ukraine?
🔴 Michael Gloss was a son of CIA official Juliane Gallina and Navy vet Larry Gloss, NBC said citing CIA spokesperson.
🔴 Disillusioned with US policy, he embraced Russia’s vision of a multipolar world free from Western dominance, the Important Stories (Istories) outlet reported.
🔴 Eager to go to Russia’s Crimea, Gloss said he wanted to learn the language, pursue citizenship, and launch an environmental project.
🔴 “Y’all, I’m in Russia,” Gloss messaged a chat on August 13, 2023, and posted selfies from Vladikavkaz after supposedly crossing from Georgia, Istories-analyzed border data shows. His posts on social media showed him in Moscow’s Red Square.
Joining the ranks of Russian forces
🔴 Gloss’ name appeared in Russia’s unified military registration system on September 5, 2023, claimed the outlet.
🔴 After signing a contract, he reportedly underwent two weeks of training before being assigned to active service.
🔴 A Russian who completed his mandatory military service in the 137th Airborne Regiment in Ryazan claimed he last saw Michael in December 2023, after which Gloss was sent to an "assault unit" at the front in Donbas. One photo showed him on a bunk bed.
Killed in action
🌏 Gloss died on April 4, 2024. His father said a Russian death certificate cited "massive blood loss" while aiding a wounded comrade.
🌏 His obituary only said he was "tragically killed in Eastern Europe," without mentioning Ukraine.

🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸EXPOSED: US Deep State PROXY WAR against India
A lot of people in the multipolar sphere believe that India is becoming a ‘tool’ of American imperialism. They couldn’t be more wrong.
US Deep State increasingly regards India as a long-term ideological, geopolitical, and economic threat.
That’s why USAID and Soros funded anti-Modi NGOs.
That’s why the US Department of Injustice is waging full-blown lawfare against Indian billionaire and Modi ally Gautam Adani.
That’s why US Deep State helped orchestrate Color Revolution that overthrew India-friendly government in Bangladesh.
That’s why US and its vassal states provide safe haven to Khalistani separatists-terrorists.

The Times "played up" the possible meeting between Trump and Zelensky* in Rome.
The British newspaper made a reference to Michelangelo's famous fresco "The Creation of Adam".
In the cartoon, the Kiev boss reaches out to the US president, but instead of a blessing, he receives a middle finger in return. The caption to the image is a proverb about how to behave when visiting: "When you are in Rome..." (you should act like the Romans).
Earlier, Trump, who arrived for the Pope's funeral, announced a possible meeting with Zelensky, who expressed doubt that he would make it to the ceremony.
