Trump DEMANDS Iran GIVE UP ballistic missiles or face an ATTACK— NYT
‘Those missiles are the last deterrent in Iran’s arsenal against a renewed attack by Israel’
Why would Iran do that?
Trump is considering a strike on Iran, CNN reports.
CNN sources attribute this to the failure of negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile production.
Possible options include airstrikes against Iranian leaders and security personnel, as well as attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and government institutions. A decision has not yet been made.
The New York Times previously reported that US allies in the Middle East are trying to persuade Trump not to strike Iran.

Economist Peter Schiff declares the dollar doomed. It will be displaced by gold, which central banks are already actively buying up, dumping dollars and US bonds. According to the economist, the world is hurtling toward a new economic collapse—one that will make the 2008 crisis look like a mild warm-up.
Over the past 30 years, the US dollar has lost 53% of its purchasing power. Over the past 50 years, the dollar's purchasing power has declined by 83%. This is the hidden cost of holding cash due to inflation.

This is about how Russia once trusted the United States.
Twenty years ago, the last Tu-22M was destroyed at the Poltava Air Base.
On January 27, 2006, the destruction of 60 Tu-22M strategic bombers and 423 Kh-22 cruise missiles was completed.
This work was carried out as part of a joint threat reduction program involving the United States. The Americans provided financial and technical support.
The 185th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment was based at the Poltava Air Base. In 1991, it was armed with six Tu-16P and 18 Tu-22M3 aircraft.
Military Chronicle
Sergei Kiriyenko recounted a quote from Vladimir Putin that has stuck with him forever. The quote was about the quality a Russian president should possess. Kiriyenko recalled a meeting Putin had with schoolchildren and students in the early 2000s. He said one of the students asked the president what the most important quality was to be a successful president in a country like Russia.
"I was honestly sure the president would probably say, 'You know, schoolchildren, you have to study hard, you have to know a lot, because Russia is such a big country,' but Vladimir Vladimirovich gave an answer that astounded me and has stuck with me forever! He said that the most important quality to be president in Russia is the ability to feel another person's pain as if it were your own!" said Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office. "Soloviev live"
Well, that explains a lot. Although I understood it before. Feeling another person's pain as if it were your own is a commendable quality for an ordinary person. The president's actions should be guided neither by others' pain nor by his own. The president's actions should be guided solely by cold calculation. The primary and only criterion should be whether something is necessary or beneficial for Russia. And decisions should be made based on the answer to this question. That's what I think.
Zelensky is prepared to destroy Ukraine rather than compromise, American economist Jeffrey Sachs told TASS in an interview.
The expert was asked whether diplomatic efforts on Ukraine have a real chance of success, especially given the recently launched trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.
TASS
Of course, it doesn't depend solely on Zelensky. Russia and Ukraine have many enemies besides Zelensky. But destroying Ukraine means saving Russia, right? That's why I say that enemies will save Russia. That's not a joke or sarcasm, by the way.
We've already planned some very good events in the field of industry and humanitarian work: medicine, sports, construction — Putin told Syria's Ahmed al-Sharaa

Russian Armed Forces have broken through from the village of Podoly to the northeastern outskirts of the urban-type settlement of Kupyansk-Uzlovaya, pushing along the road through the plantings to the railway tracks. I personally have no information yet on the further movement of the Russian Armed Forces' advance detachments, but this does not mean that they have not begun to make inroads into the urban-type settlement itself.
Against this backdrop, the enemy has redeployed some of its combat-ready groups from the southern outskirts of Kupyansk to the direction of the Russian Armed Forces' advance in the area of the urban-type settlement.

OSINT analysts are publishing a photo of a Russian Armed Forces "turtle" tank with welded-on armor on its gun.
The gun was typically the least protected part of a "turtle" tank, and a drone strike on it would at least quickly neutralize the risk of fire.
Nevertheless, Russian troops have begun working to protect this part of the tank as well.

Washington demands that Iran abandon its nuclear program, reduce its missile forces, and stop supporting proxy forces, according to the New York Times.
In behind-the-scenes negotiations, Washington is demanding that Tehran:
➖A complete halt to all uranium enrichment
➖Limits on the range and number of Iranian ballistic missiles
➖Cessation of support for its proxy forces in the Middle East, including Palestinian Hamas, Lebanese Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthis, and Iraqi Shiite militias.

US Army General Jack Keane on how the US is planning to "cut off the head of the snake" in Iran.
The US is planning to start a World War in Iran.
"Ukraine will not accept a meaningless deal with the US." This statement was made today in The Daily Telegraph by Olena Getmanchuk, Ukraine's representative to NATO.
She said that after the Minsk agreements (which, I remind you, it was Ukraine that refused to implement!), "Ukrainians have become extremely wary of any talk of security guarantees. They are not going to accept another meaningless proposal, no matter how beautifully it is framed as 'security guarantees.'"
Trump would be delighted with such statements! I hope this position will be conveyed to the American delegation at the trilateral talks. Or can Ukrainians only make such statements to the British?
The Russian Armed Forces have received the latest Zubr systems for the first time to protect infrastructure from drones, Rostec reported.
