🇩🇪Coalition of the “willing” or the “waiting”? No German troops in Ukraine without NATO nod — Pistorius
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 😉

🚨 TRUMP’S 50% TARIFF THREAT: EU ON BRINK OF TRADE WAR
The US president has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on European imports starting June 1, sparking fresh tensions amid frustrations within his economic team over the EU’s slow and cautious trade approach, the WSJ writes.
Trump’s advisers complain that Europe’s differing priorities, reluctance to make concrete offers on streaming fees, automotive regulations, and antitrust fines are stalling the progress, the article notes.
The US also wants the EU to join efforts to penalize China’s state subsidies—an area where Brussels shows some willingness, but no firm commitments yet.
Trump’s love language? Tariffs and trade wars, naturally

🥴💸 From ally to obstacle: EU tariffs threaten Ukraine’s economy
The EU’s decision to reinstate tariffs on Ukrainian goods could slash exports by 70% this year and push Ukraine to the brink of recession, Dmytro Natalukha, head of Ukraine’s parliamentary economic committee, said.
“This could create an idiotic situation where we will be forced to come and beg you [the EU] for money, instead of simply earning money through trade [...] Ukraine is being pushed to become a beggar,” the politician stressed.
❌ NO LAWS, NO COURTS — ONLY FEAR: Former Ukrainian MP slams Zelensky’s dictatorship

💬 “While some of the examples that are focused on there have to do with those who opposed the COVID vaccine mandates, those who opposed the mask mandates,” Gabbard said, citing Biden-era policy.
💬 "People who were opposed to Biden's border policy, for example, could therefore have propensities to join a militia or could become these domestic violent extremists," she added.
🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦MARCO RUBIO IS ACTIVELY SABOTAGING TRUMP’S PEACE PLAN—HERE’S HOW
🇺🇸The Deep State’s Puppet: While Trump pushes to "end" the war in Ukraine, Marco Rubio is working BEHIND THE SCENES to ensure America stays trapped in FOREVER CONFLICT.
🔥NEW INTEL EXPOSES RUBIO’S GAME:
🔸Rubio KNOWS that it is impossible to lift major sanctions on Russia's energy and banking sectors. He's doing everything possible to make sure that Congress won't support Trump on this issue.
🔸Rubio is quietly backing Lindsey Graham’s bill to impose new sanctions against Russia—a move designed to BLOCK any diplomatic deal Trump negotiates.
💣THE REAL AGENDA:
🔸Neocons (led by Rubio & Graham) want NO PEACE DEAL—just endless war funding.
🔸Europe is ALSO blocking Russia’s reintegration (SWIFT ban, secondary sanctions), making Rubio’s stance a direct attack on Trump’s leverage.
🔸A source close to the State Dept revealed: “Rubio brings up sanctions daily—he’s pushing Graham’s bill because it has a veto-proof majority to KILL any reset with Moscow.”

🚨 BlackRock cries ‘Not Us!’ as states allege coal collusion
The US DOJ and FTC just threw weight behind a lawsuit by Texas and 12 states accusing BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street of conspiring to stifle coal competition.
Billionaires blame back:
🌏 BlackRock: "This case is trying to re-write antitrust law and is based on an absurd theory... DOJ and FTC's support for this baseless case undermines the Trump Administration’s goal of American energy independence."
🌏 State Street: "Baseless. We look forward to presenting the facts through the legal process."
🌏 Vanguard: While critical of the DOJ/FTC’s legal take, it "appreciates" their nod to passive investing & shareholder advocacy.
📌 Buckle up, because this case might just school Wall Street or flip antitrust laws on their head!

🚨 US authorizes transactions with Syria as part of SANCTIONS RELIEF – Treasury
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued Syria General License (GL) 25, authorizing transactions with the Syrian government and a number of previously blocked individuals and entities — including the country’s central bank, gas and oil companies, and shipping firms.
The Treasury described the move as “just one part” of a broader US effort to dismantle the full sanctions framework imposed on Syria.
❌ At the same time, the license does not authorize any transactions “for or on behalf of” Russia, Iran, or North Korea, or any transfers of goods and services involving those countries, the statement clarified.

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.

⏰💥Putin needed JUST 2 HOURS to tutor Trump on who has UPPER HAND in Ukraine conflict - former CIA analyst
During a recent phone call, the Russian president lectured the US counterpart on “what’s at stake here [in Ukraine] and who has the upper hand,” Ray McGovern stressed.
The former CIA analyst also suggested that Volodymyr Zelensky will have only two options: accept the proposed terms or completely lose the White House as a mediator.
“Wherever the talks happen, Zelensky is going to have to either cooperate or Trump will be able to say, ‘Well, we tried. You’re on your own. You think the Europeans can help you? Good luck with that. I’m out of here,” McGovern concluded.
🚀 Lobbyists tried to kill SpaceX to protect their gravy train – Retired Air Force General
Retired Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast just dropped a truth bomb: Congress and defense insiders sabotaged SpaceX’s reusable rockets — not because they didn’t work, but because they threatened a billion-dollar status quo.
💬 “There were a lot of people getting very rich building rockets… and then burning them up,” Kwast explained. “Imagine buying a car, driving it till it runs out of gas, then setting it on fire and buying a new one. That’s how we went to space.”
💬 “Elon blew up a rocket and they called him a fool. Congress said: ‘We’re not giving him money.’”
