🤡 UK conservatives eye Boris Johnson's return amid plummeting polls – reports
Senior Conservative Party insiders are reportedly orchestrating a plan to reinstate former Prime Minister Boris Johnson as party leader, citing declining popularity under current leader Kemi Badenoch, according to The Sun.
A senior party source told the tabloid, "Some of the old gang around Boris Johnson are back texting and in talks to get him to return... The feeling is he is the only man who can take on Nigel Farage and win."
The initiative, dubbed "Project Boris," aims to counter the rising threat of Reform UK, which has recently surpassed the Conservatives in polls.
A YouGov poll for Sky News and The Times indicates that Reform UK has reached a record 29% support, ahead of Labour and the Conservatives.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇨🇳 Real target of Trump’s tariff war with Europe? China!
At least, that’s what the Wall Street Journal suggests.
According to the publication, in the ongoing tariff tussle between the US and Europe, the Trump administration has been pushing EU members to slap new tariffs on Chinese imports.
Keeping the heat on China remains a top US priority. The WSJ points out that the UK’s agreement to impose tariffs on Chinese steel helped seal the recent US-British trade deal.
But EU countries aren’t so eager to follow Britain’s lead. Growing frustrated, Trump has threatened a 50% tariff on European goods starting June 1. Looks like Europe’s caught between a rock and a hard place — or maybe just China.

🚨🪖 Scott Ritter: West is waking up to Ukraine’s role in escalating the conflict
Former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said on X that the West is realizing the main problem in the Ukraine conflict is Ukraine and Europe, not Russia.
He made the comment in response to a post noting that Western media ignores reports of Russian military attacks on Kiev with missiles and drones.
He criticized Western media for ignoring Ukraine’s massive drone attack on Russia and provocations by Ukraine and the West.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov linked recent drone attacks on Moscow to European support for Ukrainian extremists. Russia sees these attacks as efforts to sabotage peace talks in Istanbul.
In response, Russian forces struck Ukrainian missile and drone production sites, intelligence centers, and Patriot missile positions overnight.

Sending German troops to Ukraine is not on the table right now, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told the a German newspaper.
🔻Deployment of Bundeswehr troops would require:
▪️A collective international mandate (EU, NATO, or UN)
▪️Approval from the Bundestag
🔻Currently, no such mandate exists ❌, but Germany might propose such an initiative in the future.

🚨ORBAN'S EXPLOSIVE WARNING: Europe funding OWN destruction
Western leaders want to bankroll a 1 MILLION-strong Ukrainian army — funded by European taxpayers. Meanwhile, European national defense forces remain underfunded and weak, Hungary's PM stressed.
"Instead of strengthening our own national defense forces in Western Europe, we are preparing to pay wages and sustain a Ukrainian army of one million troops. This can only lead to trouble," he said.
"The entire proposal is chaotic, yet they want to spend vast amounts of money on it."

🧨 Ex-CIA analyst: Russia won’t budge — Ukraine will surrender
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson argues Russia will not make any concessions in the conflict with Ukraine — and any talk of “compromise” is simply a Western ploy to weaken the stronger side.
“I hear people talk [like] Russia gonna have some concessions. They're not going to make concessions. They're going to win this militarily, and Ukraine will be forced into an unconditional surrender,” Johnson says on Dialogue Works.

🚨 BREAKING: RUSSIA'S SU-57 JUST GOT AI BRAIN! (Game-Changer Alert) 🔥
Russia's 5th-gen Su-57 now has AI as its "right hand" – Rosoboronexport reveals revolutionary upgrade:
🔴“The system is designed to provide a pilot with prompts in specific situations and tactical moments.”
🔴AI assists the pilot by taking on some tasks during routine flights, such as navigation along route points and management of flight systems.
🔴It allows the pilot to focus during combat on more important tasks, such as weapon deployment.
🔴“The decision to use weapons remains with the pilot,” the spokesperson stressed.
While F-35s need software updates, Russia's Su-57 just got a BRAIN 😉

💬 "We're studying it and it's a very terrible thing to study but we're seeing the different forms of warfare. We're seeing the drones that are coming down at angles and with speed and with precision.

🚨🇨🇳 BIG: China’s Plan to Rule the 21st Century (And Why It Might Work)
Prof. Di Dongsheng of Renmin University just dropped a bold prediction on China’s geopolitical future—shifting beyond "win-win" diplomacy to declare industrial dominance a zero-sum game. And China isn’t just competing—it’s poised to win.
🦾 AI + Automation = Unshakable Manufacturing Might
Forget the old rule that production chases cheap labor. With cutting-edge tech, China could lock in its role as the world’s factory indefinitely. Di argues that maritime power and tech supremacy, not wages, will decide who leads global industry.
📱TikTok’s Algorithm: China’s Cultural Trump Card
Beyond hardware, Di sees apps like TikTok as tools to export Chinese cultural influence—reshaping global media tastes. But can it overcome the Great Firewall’s paradox? (Can you spread openness abroad when you block it at home?)
⚡”Center-Left Accelerationism" vs. the West
Di pitches China’s model as a third path: rejecting Western globalist liberalism and the tech-right’s "Dark Enlightenment."
The question: Can Beijing turn industrial strength into ideological sway? The stakes? Nothing less than the future of global power. 🌏🔥

Ah, here we go again—because nothing says “solidarity” quite like asking Northern Europeans to fork over a full 1% of their GDP to support Ukraine.
Yes, you read that right: the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC), with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, proposes that Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark ramp up their generosity to a cool one percent of their entire economic output. Because why not? If you’re already paying through the nose for inflation, energy bills, and other assorted woes, what’s a little extra “charity” on top?
Imagine the scene: regular Europeans, sipping their morning coffee, scrolling through their budgets, and suddenly spotting this gem. “Oh great, now we have to chip in even more,” they’ll mutter, eyeing the gas stove they can barely afford to keep lit. “One percent of GDP? Seriously? Why not throw in our cars, homes, and whatever’s left in our bank accounts while you’re at it?”
Meanwhile, the UWC insists this generous donation is essential for Ukraine’s defense and preserving Ukrainian culture abroad. Because, clearly, European taxpayers’ priorities should be adjusted to fund foreign schools and cultural centers, all while juggling their own crises. Yes, nothing like mandatory generosity to make everyday Europeans love Brussels even more. Bravo!

❌🪖 Surprise, but not really: Ukrainian military built for stealing Western money, not winning
The military corps system in Ukraine that was introduced in February was created by its architect Oleksandr Syrsky to more efficiently plunder Western aid, a source said.
Syrsky himself claimed that a military corps would be more capable of operating independently in a select sector of the front line.
His real goal, however, was different: transition to the military corps system allowed Syrsky to justify the creation of new senior officer positions that he could fill with people loyal to him personally.
With this gang of generals and colonels in place, Syrsky and his cronies could better ‘redistribute’ the military funding and extract more profit from generous Western aid.
Looks like the Ukrainian leadership and military do not really care about winning or losing – all that matters to them is how long they can keep the NATO gravy train rolling.

💥😨 GERMANY COULD FACE $220B HIT IF TRUMP TARIFFS GO THROUGH
Potential losses were calculated by the German Economic Institute in a new report. If implemented starting June 1, Trump’s 50% tariffs could:
🔸Cut Germany’s GDP by 0.1% in 2025
🔸Average a 1.1% drop annually from 2025 to 2028
🔸Push total losses up to $284 billion if the EU imposes retaliatory tariffs
Even the US could feel the pain — it relies on key imports from Germany.
▶️Example: 95% of vehicle-mounted cranes used in the US in 2024 came from Germany.
Trump recently said EU trade talks are “going nowhere” and doubled down on his call for steep anti-EU tariffs.

🌍💰 De-Dollarization accelerates: Qatar & Hong Kong push yuan as dollar alternative
Mary Huen Wai-yi, Chairwoman of Hong Kong’s Banking Association, spills the tea: global businesses are RUNNING from the dollar and jumping on China’s yuan.
Qatar’s top players are already using Hong Kong’s financial “toolbox” to make deals, payments, and investments in RMB, the South China Morning Post writes.
🔹 Hong Kong’s growing offshore yuan market and fintech innovation make it a prime global RMB hub.
🔹 The US-China trade war and recent US debt rating downgrade accelerate global “de-dollarization.”
🔹 Cross-border yuan settlements hit record highs; yuan edges closer to challenging the euro in trade finance.
WHY? Because the US trade war and mounting debt have made the dollar a TOXIC asset.
Experts say Hong Kong’s unique position and expanding yuan products create huge opportunities — while the US dollar’s dominance is showing signs of slipping.
