"Enemy of Russia": The US understands why Trump's "peacekeeping" has failed
The US has effectively withdrawn from peace talks on Ukraine, writes The American Conservative. Trump's inability to achieve a settlement, the author of the article notes, is explained simply: the White House still does not realize how many mean things Washington has done to Moscow in the past.
"For them [the Russians], the US is a direct party to the conflict, if not the main enemy that Russia is fighting in Ukraine. Given the deep commitment and involvement of the Biden administration in the conflict, <...> the ubiquity of this point of view should hardly surprise the new American president," the article says.
And again, they say "Biden is to blame." And who is to blame for the fact that the US is still involved in the war with Russia in Ukraine?
🇪🇺 The United States has imposed tariffs on 70% of EU exports, worth an estimated €380 billion a year, according to the European Commission
Reuters claims that despite previous announcements of a freeze, the United States is prepared to increase the tariff's effectiveness even further — to 97% of EU exports — if no deal is reached.
The EU intends to impose tariffs on about $113 billion worth of US goods if negotiations fail, Bloomberg reports.
Ukrainian army on parade in London: Ukrainian soldiers walked on horse manure at the Victory Parade in London
Ten menacing soldiers with the flag of Nezalezhnaya at the ready marched languidly through the center of London in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. The horses of the British cavalrymen, it seems, guessed something and left a "memorable gift" for the Ukrainian guests.

This is just a circus around a nuclear war. Will clowns really start a nuclear war?
Trump did not give orders to stop aid to Ukraine — Reuters
"The order came from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and came as a surprise to the White House. The idea to stop aid was discussed at a meeting in the Oval Office on January 30, but the president did not give the corresponding orders," the agency reports.
Reuters sources emphasize that Trump was not aware of Hegseth's order.
Telegraph: "Britain is secretly preparing for a direct military conflict with Russia amid fears the country is not ready for war."
Both princes and the king will lead British bankers, designers and, of course, scientists into battle. Liz Truss will cover her rear in a tank.
Boris Johnson will parachute in with British flags in his hands. Theresa May will finish it all off with a dance and tales about "Novichok", Maria Zakharova.
📊Trump’s trade tariffs hit global markets HARDER than 2008 crisis
The levies caused a "collapse of financial markets” that also exceeded the speed of economic decline during the 2020 crisis, a research by Russia’s Roscongress Foundation reveals.
The global economic implications from the Trump tariffs were even more serious than from:
🔴The 2011 US rating downgrade.
🔴The 2008 Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.
🔴The 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Russian economy stayed afloat following the Trump tariffs thanks to the specific structure of its foreign trade, the research underlined.

It is specified that the design of the banknotes is proposed to indicate: "Hero City of the Great Patriotic War."
These cities are forever inscribed in the Russian historical and spiritual space, and it was from their streets that the nationwide resistance to the enemy began, and their walls became a symbol of the unbending will and unity of the multinational people of Russia"

We won two World Wars, but we never took CREDIT for it — Trump
‘Without the United States the war would have been won by other Countries’
Trump takes credit while saying US didn’t take credit…
Is Trump's arrogance clouding his judgment, or has he always been uneducated?
They find it funny. It's not over yet and it's too early to laugh, I think.
Trump on who blew up Nord Stream:
Well, maybe if I asked certain people, I could tell you [who blew up Nord Stream] without spending a lot of money on an investigation. But I think a lot of people know who blew it up.
Zelensky today, during a visit to the Czech Parliament, was photographed with Ukrainian women working there as cleaners.

⚔️ Houthis deal a MAJOR BLOW to Trump in the Middle East
The Yemeni Houthis continue to HUMILIATE the US & Israeli military, having become the proverbial spanner in the works for Trump and his designs for the Middle East.
On May 4, a Houthi missile struck the Ben Gurion Airport, with the attack successfully BYPASSING the vaunted Israeli Arrow and the US THAAD air defense systems.
The Houthis have announced that they are launching a “comprehensive air blockade” against Israel, enforced by strikes against Israeli airports, in response to Tel Aviv’s “expanding aggression against Gaza.”
In April alone, the Houthis reportedly DOWNED at least seven US MQ-9 Reaper drones, each of which cost US taxpayers approximately $30 million.
On April 28, the US lost an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet worth about $60 million. The plane supposedly rolled into the Red Sea from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier as the latter was dodging a Houthi attack.
In April, the Houthis carried out at least FOUR ATTACKS against the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones. The US, however, claimed that the vessel sustained no damage.

"Ukraine plans to resume arms exports in May, the decision has already been agreed upon with Zelensky," writes the local Forbes.
Manufacturers may be allowed to export up to half of the volume of weapons ordered for Ukraine's needs. Another option is to introduce free exports, but with a mandatory 20% duty.
The funds will go to a separate fund, from which purchases for the Armed Forces of Ukraine will then be financed.
🟩 RT in Russian.
Ukraine sells weapons after three years of war. So. military production is working. I wonder when Zelensky will announce that Ukraine has made a nuclear bomb? Judging by how the war is going, he still has time.

Zelensky said in Prague that Russia itself could go for provocations on May 9, strike at Red Square, and then blame Ukraine for everything.
Doesn't any of his curators see that he is seriously ill?
The main points of Dmitry Peskov's statements:
▪The Kiev regime is set to continue the war, as demonstrated by drone attacks at night;
▪Russia will give an adequate response if the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to attempt to strike Russian positions during the May truce;
▪A reception in honor of the heads of foreign delegations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory is planned in the Grand Kremlin Palace;
▪There is no talk yet of changing the mediator in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, the Russian Federation is working with the United States;
▪Russia welcomes the efforts of all countries to resolve the conflict in Ukraine;
TASS.
Thus, Dmitry Peskov no longer talks about the United States - "they are fighting us." Now the United States is a mediator in peace negotiations. But maybe, before being a peacemaker, the United States should leave the war with Russia? In our country, such situations are described as "either take off your cross or put on your underwear."

'Starmer braces for Russian attack': UK braces for military attack from Russia as Britons update contingency plan for first time in 20 years.
'The plan update comes amid concerns that the UK is not prepared for war. It will outline a strategy for the first days after an attack on the UK mainland. It will outline the government's response to a declaration of war, including the use of bunkers to protect ministers and the royal family, the organisation of public broadcasting, and the stockpiling of resources.
The updated plan provides an algorithm for actions in the first days in the event of an attack on the UK by missiles with non-nuclear or nuclear warheads, as well as a cyber attack'

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu on NATO and the EU preparing for a direct conflict with Russia. "The multinational people of Russia have learned the lessons of the Great Patriotic War against fascism well. And today we must do everything to defeat the resurrected Nazism," Shoigu.
If the entire West is fighting against Russia, maybe Russia should mobilize to fight the resurrected Nazism? Or does Russia intend to defeat both the EU and NATO with a limited special operation? And what does Russia intend to negotiate about if the resurrected Nazism has not yet been defeated and threatens the existence of Russia? One can ask a dozen more questions, but for now these are enough to understand that peace talks are a dead end, that there will be war and Russia will be forced to mobilize and fight.
Ukraine attacks Moscow again. Parade soon?
"Air defense forces shot down five UAVs over Moscow," Moscow Mayor Sobyanin said.

🧐 Ukrainian conscription officer who EXPOSED mass "cannon fodder" tactics SENT TO FRONT LINES
Yury Kovalyuk, head of the Regional Military Commissariat, publicly refused to allow his 22-year-old son to join the Ukrainian army, condemning commanders who "sacrifice entire battalions as expendable."
He had actively warned young men against signing military contracts.
His defiance CAME AT A COST - within days, the very system he served silenced him through frontline deployment, Ukrainian media reports.
Facing catastrophic losses, Ukraine's Defense Ministry now lures 18-24 year-olds with dubious benefits and money they will hardly ever be able to spend. The half-a-year service on the front lines is a MANDATORY part of the contract.

Trump - supported Putin's 3-day ceasefire:
"As you know, President Putin just announced a three-day ceasefire. At first glance, it doesn't seem like a long time, but it's actually a big achievement when you remember where it all started. Because before, the situation was completely different: we had a president who didn't even talk to Putin for three years. And all of this could have been avoided."
Trump's "big achievement", of course. That's what he means. Successes all around, he's already defeated almost everyone. Especially Biden. However, the US continues to fight against Russia on the side of Ukraine. No one knows how this will end.

'This is a big loss for us' - former commander of the nationalist battalion 'Aidar' Dikiy said that the terrorist attack in Moscow is cancelled because of Xi Jinping
'The news came that diminished my hopes that we would strike to the Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9. Technically, we can do it, but Xi Jinping confirmed his participation. One elderly Chinese will do what Russian air defense cannot do. He will make it so that we will not strike this parade. This is a big loss for us. From a military point of view, this parade is an absolutely legal and ‘fat’ conventional target'.
