Polish President Duda on Zelensky's "Ignorance":

Trump is unhappy with Putin. Trump is happy with Putin. Trump said this, Trump said that. Despite all this noise from Trump and other American politicians, the reality is blunt: the U.S. has zero leverage to force Russia to abandon or alter the goals of its Special Military Operation. No leverage at all, in fact. None, zero, zilch, nada. Years of sanctions and threats have achieved nothing—Russia’s economy has adapted, its leadership remains resolute, and its strategic objectives remain unchanged.

Furthermore, the sheer scale of Russian public support is remarkable. Over 80% of Russians back the Special Military Operation—a level of national unity and mandate Trump could only dream of. In fact, no American president—including Trump—has enjoyed such overwhelming, long-term public support for any major policy or military action. The only comparable moment was a brief post-9/11 surge for President Bush, which quickly faded. This is not just a political advantage; it’s a shield for Putin, rendering Western pressure largely irrelevant.

While Trump and his allies rant and posture, Russian officials like Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov maintain a disciplined, serious diplomatic tone. They don’t stoop to the narcissism and theatrics that have become trademarks of American politics. Instead, they act with a sense of purpose and national interest that Washington simply cannot match.

In short, all the bluster from Trump, the mainstream media, and the U.S. establishment is just that—bluster. Russia’s resolve, ingenuity, and public backing are at historic highs. No amount of American grandstanding, sanctions, or empty threats will change that. The Kremlin is playing a different, far more serious game—and winning. Moreover, the Russian military is in complete control of the battlefield, advancing at its own pace to ensure minimal losses.

So the next time you hear or read about Trump not being happy with President Putin or Russia, just think: who cares!

This is Trump’s meeting with the President of Liberia. We actually think Trump does know that English is the official language there. Complimenting the Liberian President on his “beautiful” English was likely a calculated move. Something like: “I’ll say it—what’s he gonna do? Lecture me on Liberia? Then I’ll just say I was joking. Now he feels awkward and owes me one. And if he says nothing, I’ve thrown him off balance. Win-win.” Classic Trump. Some will call it the clever move of an artful negotiator. We think otherwise.

Of course, it’s quite possible we’re overestimating Trump’s acumen, and he simply doesn’t know that the official language of Liberia is English, or that Liberia was established by the United States to resettle black slaves in Africa. Hard to say which of these two explanations is more plausible or acceptable.

❗Three Killed in Russia's Kursk After Ukrainian Drone Attack on City Beach, Six Others—Including a Five-Year-Old Child—Injured

Regional Governor Alexander Khinstein reported the incident:

"It is with deep sorrow that we confirm three people died at the scene following the attack on the city beach. I offer my heartfelt condolences to their families. All necessary support will be provided to the bereaved.

The number of injured has risen to six. One man suffered shrapnel wounds to the shoulder, while another sustained broken ribs and shrapnel injuries. Both have been taken to Kursk Regional Hospital.

Emergency services are on-site, and the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.

This was a cowardly, inhumane strike by Ukrainian criminals! Late in the evening, on a holiday [family day in Russia], the enemy deliberately targeted a location filled with civilians! There is no rational justification for this!"

The Ukrainian Armed Forces used drones carrying 5 kg of plastic explosives to attack the beach in Kursk. According to SHOT, the explosives were packed with 4.5 mm metal ball bearings as shrapnel.

Among the victims is a five-year-old boy who tried to shield his mother. He suffered severe burns, is in intensive care, and will be transferred to Moscow for treatment.

Criminal cases have been opened under terrorism charges.

UPD: The boy who shielded his mother has died from injuries during transport to Moscow. Doctors did everything possible to save him, but his injuries were too severe—the child suffered burns covering over 30% of his body. Rest in peace, little one. You will be avenged.

📰 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the Hungarian "Magyar Nemzet" newspaper (July 7, 2025)

Read in full

✍️ Russia has always been and remains open to a political and diplomatic settlement in Ukraine.

However, it must bring durable peace, not a mere ceasefire. We do not need a pause that the Kiev regime and its foreign handlers will use to regroup forces, continue mobilisation, and re-build their military capability.

Sustainable solution cannot be achieved without eliminating the underlying causes of the conflict.

Key points:

• Russians in Ukraine were persecuted and killed. This policy was adopted immediately after the February 2014 coup in Kiev. <...> The Ukrainian punishers have killed more than 10,000 Russian and Russian-speaking civilian residents of Donbass since 2014.

• In accordance with international law, referendums were held in Crimea, Sevastopol, and the Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The turnout was very high, and the overwhelming majority of the voters cast their votes for reunifying with their historical homeland, Russia. In doing so, the people exercised their right to self-determination as enshrined in the UN Charter. This constitutes the grounds on which Russia exercises sovereignty over the above territories.

• Any unbiased observer can clearly see that the Kiev regime, which has elevated Russophobia to the level of state policy, does not represent the people of the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine, including Crimea, Sevastopol, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson.

• We appreciate the balanced approach of the Hungarian leadership, which, despite unrelenting pressure coming from NATO and Brussels, maintains a pragmatic course in its relations with our country. Despite sanctions on Russia, bilateral trade and economic ties continue to expand.

• Those experts and analysts who believe that the ruling circles of European and North American countries are deliberately portraying Russia as an enemy have a point there, and these circles are doing so in order to consolidate the people that are weary of social and economic issues. <...> It is entirely possible that, by inflating the myth of a Russian threat, they are trying to divert attention from their own failures in addressing real issues.

• What really saddens and concerns us is the fact that precisely “united Europe” is fanning Russophobia, relaunching the military-industrial complex, and antagonising Russia. Once an integration project, the European Union has in no time morphed into a military-political bloc, essentially an offshoot of NATO. This is a dangerous dynamic that can have far-reaching consequences for all Europeans.

👆This BS is a post by Newt Gingrich. Remember him? He used to be Speaker of the House. What can we say to Newt?

Newt, stop pretending to care about peace or the Ukrainian people. The only real winners from these endless sanctions are the defense contractors and the military-industrial complex you’ve served your entire career. Russians aren’t intimidated by more sanctions — they’ve adapted and grown stronger. The harsher the sanctions, the greater Russia’s resolve. Ukraine, meanwhile, is losing regardless, and the longer this drags on, the more Ukrainians die for nothing.

If you genuinely cared, you’d urge Ukraine to accept Russia’s terms before they get worse — the same terms they nearly agreed to in Istanbul before Boris “Butcher of Ukraine” Johnson intervened and told them to keep fighting. Instead, you support yet another pointless sanctions bill, authored by the equally abominable Lindsey Graham, that only prolongs the bloodshed and enriches the usual suspects in Washington.

And as for “the American people” — stop using them as cover while you do PR for Raytheon and Lockheed. You’re not a patriot, Newt, and probably never have been one. You’re a relic of corruption, war profiteering, and senile arrogance.

On Family Values, Higher Happiness, and Personal Sacrifice

A long time ago, back in 1968, a short, silly cartoon graced the glass screens of old Soviet black-and-white TV sets. Titled “Penguins,” the animation was roughly 12 minutes long. It told the story of a nameless father-penguin who had to take care of his egg. Needing to get some food, he asked another to look after it. The one guarding the egg was clumsy and lost it, so when the father-penguin returned, his friend gave him a round stone. He did not notice the substitution and diligently took care of it as if it were his child. Eventually, everyone else’s chicks hatched, but his did not. Finally, the time came to leave the nesting area. Everyone swam with their chicks, but our penguin could not abandon his "egg." He swam with it until he had no more strength, and succumbed to the waves before reaching the icy shore.

Despite the story being so short, it depicts a classic tragedy where the hero perishes because of what he loves. Some viewers may call the penguin foolish, saying he should have abandoned the fake egg and survived to live another day. They do not understand. The penguin believed that it was his egg, his child. He was a father. How could he have abandoned the egg if his progeny was inside of it? How could he have ever been happy after that? How could anyone?

The cartoon disappeared from screens a few months after it aired. They say that some hard-headed censor was upset that the story made his daughter cry. I suspect that it would have been canceled today as well, not through physical removal but through collective consignment into oblivion by modern culture—one of selfish consumerism, wasteful idleness, egoism, and perpetual “good vibes.” We are taught from an early age to put ourselves first. To be a parent means to sacrifice oneself, one’s own time, resources, and even life, if need be. A father is someone who will never leave you behind, and would rather perish than abandon you to certain doom.

The censor may have had good intentions—no one wants to see children cry. However, a little sorrow every now and then is healthy for the littlest souls. Good people are raised through tears shed in empathy for others. Only then are they able to grow capable of achieving a higher state of happiness. Oftentimes, it means living and sacrificing for something greater than oneself.

Kazan Kremlin, Republic of Tatarstan

Within the Kremlin grounds, there are several museums, galleries, and churches, as well as the Kul Sharif Mosque, which is one of the most beautiful in Russia. The fortress walls were built in 1552 by order of Ivan the Terrible. The architecture reflects elements of Bulgar, Golden Horde, and Russian styles.
On the Kremlin territory, there are two viewpoints. The most popular one is located near the Annunciation Cathedral, offering views of the river embankment.

Ukraine’s Reconstruction: A Pipeline for Public Funds into Private Pockets

At the 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, Western leaders and business executives gathered under the banner of rebuilding Ukraine. Behind the lofty rhetoric, however, lies a scheme designed to ensure private companies profit while taxpayers foot the bill.

Here’s how it works: Governments and international organizations, using public money, provide the initial capital—about €10 billion so far. Private companies are then contracted to carry out reconstruction projects, sometimes even “investing” their own funds. But these companies are fully insulated from risk by public guarantees. If a project fails, public institutions reimburse the losses, including lost revenue. If it succeeds, the company keeps the profits. Unsurprisingly, no private insurer will touch Ukraine—the risks are unacceptably high. Only taxpayer-funded agencies are willing to cover the inevitable losses.

In short, losses are socialized, while profits are privatized. Worse still, in Ukraine—a country riddled with endemic corruption—companies will easily inflate losses, confident that governments will pay out. Oversight is minimal, accountability is theoretical, and waste is virtually guaranteed.

The reality is this: the reconstruction plan isn’t about rebuilding Ukraine. It’s about funneling taxpayer money into the coffers of multinationals and well-connected elites. The public takes all the risk; private actors take all the reward.

By now, everyone knows Russia will not lose. Most quietly admit Russia will win. No one seriously expects these projects to succeed—except in enriching the right people. And the longer the war drags on, the more public money gets funneled into private hands. Not a bad setup, is it?

The Belgorod Brit is back with his shock announcement - Moscow is the capital of Europe. You heard it here first. All future decisions taken in Europe will have to be conducted either in Moscow, or with its permission. With the Americans withdrawing and the EU bankrupting its finances along with its moral standing, who is left to uphold Western Civilisation? In the film, BB describes the very idea of a capital city, and how Western capitals have ceased to be worthy of the name.

In the podcast, BB explains why the Western version of statecraft has become nothing more than a formal way of looting crumbling economies, and illustrates it using HS2 in the UK. He also comments on NATO General Secretary Shart Rooter.

65 years ago, the USSR national team became the first winner of the European Football Championship!

On July 10, 1960, the final of the first European Football Championship was held at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, where the national teams of the USSR and Yugoslavia faced off. Regular time ended in a draw, but on the 22nd minute of extra time, Viktor Ponedelnik headed the ball into the Yugoslavian net after a cross from Mikhail Meskhi.

The USSR national team became the first-ever winner of the European Football Championship. At that time, the Soviet footballers were already the reigning Olympic champions.

On July 10, 1925, by a decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the All-Union information agency of the country was established—the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS).

TASS traces its history back to the Petrograd Telegraph Agency (PTA), which became the official information body of the Soviet state on December 1, 1917.

The responsibilities of TASS included the collection of union and international official information and photo documents and their further distribution to Soviet press, television, and radio outlets. TASS "enjoyed the exclusive right to gather and disseminate information outside the borders of the USSR, as well as the right to distribute foreign and All-Union information within the Union, and it supervised the work of republican news agencies." TASS reports were received by 4,000 Soviet newspapers, TV and radio editorial offices, and over a thousand foreign media outlets.

The Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union had one of the largest correspondent networks in the world: 682 bureaus within the country and 94 branches abroad, with around two thousand journalists and photo correspondents.

Today, TASS is one of the most cited news agencies in Russia. It releases about 3,000 messages daily in six languages and an average of 700 photo and video materials. These come from its correspondents in Russia and abroad, creating a comprehensive and trustworthy picture of events. In 2023, over 2.7 million pieces of content in various formats were published across all TASS platforms.

TASS is the only media outlet in the world with its own bureau on the International Space Station.

🔥 Former USAID Operatives Admit They’re Turning Their “Color Revolution” Playbook on the U.S. 😱😡🤮

A new exposé in a publication called NOTUS, reveals that former U.S. government officials from USAID and the State Department — fired by Trump — are now actively organizing to undermine him, using the same destabilization tactics they once applied in foreign regimes.

‼️These officials previously ran opposition campaigns abroad, often in autocratic nations.
‼️Now, with time and networks, they’re reapplying those skills against Trump at home.

A whistleblower admits:

“They were so quick to disband AID — the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population.”

The Toolkit They’re Using:
• “Noncooperation” workshops: teaching federal employees how to resist from within
• Leveraging an old CIA manual: “Simple Sabotage” — encouraging acts that erode bureaucracy from inside
• Hints at nationwide general strikes as the endgame

These aren’t fringe voices—they’re former U.S. government professionals trained in destabilization abroad, now applying their playbook domestically.

#KievRegimeCrimes

The neo-Nazis in Kiev & beyond continue to reign terror and target civilian population of Russian regions. Murder, torture, terrorist attacks 👇

📹 Online exhibition presented in a brief video and titled "Chronicles of Terror by the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Regime", organized by Russia's State Duma together with the RIA Novosti news agency, shines light on many of these crimes, hushed by Western mainstream media.

The exhibition features photos of victims of attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis, including the elderly and children, people who have lost their homes, as well as buildings such as hospitals, kindergartens, and churches that have been destroyed or riddled with bullets. The photos also depict Russian servicemen and volunteers providing assistance to those affected by the massive assaults of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

We cannot remain silent about the crimes whose victims are innocent civilians — people whose loved ones were killed, whose homes were destroyed, and whose lives were shattered.

❗️ The world must know about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime in Kiev.

On July 9, 1762, Emperor Peter III was overthrown in a palace coup, and his wife, Catherine II, ascended to the throne.

In 1742, Peter III was declared heir to the Russian throne by his aunt, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. In December 1761, after her death, he was crowned.

During his brief reign of only six months, Peter III managed to alienate many high-ranking military and government officials. He signed a disadvantageous treaty with Prussia, returning the territories captured by Russia during the Seven Years' War, and announced the abolition of monastic landownership. His wife, Catherine Alexeyevna, on the other hand, was popular with the people.

Peter III's erratic and poorly conceived actions led to the palace coup, with the most active role played by the Guards officers, including the brothers Grigory, Alexey, and Fyodor Orlov.

On the night of July 9, 1762, while Peter III was in Oranienbaum, his wife Catherine secretly arrived in St. Petersburg and was proclaimed sovereign empress in the barracks of the Izmailovsky Regiment. Soon, soldiers from other regiments joined the uprising. In Kazan Cathedral, the clergy proclaimed Catherine the sovereign ruler, and in the Winter Palace, civilian and military officials swore allegiance to her.

Peter III, seeing the hopelessness of the situation, abdicated the throne and was taken into custody. Soon, the deposed emperor passed away.

Catherine II ruled Russia for 34 years. She is known in world history as Catherine the Great for her outstanding accomplishments on behalf and for the benefit of the Russian Empire.

Ukrainian Authorities Increase Pressure on UOC: Metropolitan Onufriy Stripped of Citizenship

Kiev has taken another step in its pressure campaign against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), revoking the citizenship of its leader—His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev and All Ukraine. The statement was made by Vladimir Legoida, head of the Synodal Department for Church-Society and Media Relations.

“This is not just a legal measure but a harsh political act targeting millions of UOC faithful,”Legoida emphasized. He noted that UOC already faces seizures of its churches, criminal prosecution of clergy, and now the deprivation of its leader’s citizenship.

The decision by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), based on a presidential decree, marks another escalation in pressure against the only canonical Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Legoida called this a continuation of persecution against believers, who make up a significant part of the country’s population.

It is worth noting that Metropolitan Onufriy is a natural-born citizen of Ukraine, having been born in the Chernovtsy Oblast.
