Is it possible that NATO forces could become directly involved in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine?
Until recently, such a question seemed very hypothetical given the high risks of escalation of the military confrontation between the US-led bloc and Russia into a large-scale armed conflict. But this scenario should be taken seriously now, writes Ivan Timofeev, programme director of the Valdai Club
“A significant escalation factor that would amplify the risk of a direct clash between Russia and NATO, could be the appearance of military contingents form bloc members on the territory of Ukraine. The prospect of such a scenario has already been mentioned by some Western politicians, although their view has not been supported by the US and isn’t an official NATO position.”
“Each of these scenarios involves a direct clash between Russian and NATO forces. Such a situation would inevitably raise the question of deeper bloc involvement and, in the longer term, the transfer of military conflict to other areas of contact with Russia, including the Baltic region. At this stage, it will be even more difficult to stop the escalation. The more losses both sides suffer, the more the maelstrom of hostilities will grow and the closer they will come to the threshold of using nuclear weapons. And there will be no winners.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN-U.S. AGREEMENT: WHAT TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCEED
Trump has just posted on Truth Social outlining the key points of what appears to be a framework
agreement with Tehran:
What Iran would agree to:
→ Zero nuclear weapons
→ The Strait of Hormuz open without tolls, in both directions
→ Complete demining of the strait (the US has already neutralized several mines using its minesweepers)
The nuclear issue:
→ The enriched uranium buried deep underground following the B-2 strikes 11 months ago will be extracted and destroyed—jointly by Washington, Beijing, Tehran, and the IAEA
→ No financial transfers for the time being
Background:
→ Trump announces he is heading immediately to the Situation Room for a “final decision”
→ The U.S. naval blockade is reported lifted ships — blocked in the Strait can return
⚠️ It remains to be seen what “destroying” the enriched uranium buried under collapsed mountains actually means, and what the ...
USDA Destroying 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte closes all California canneries for good
Del Monte (139 years old) filed bankruptcy as rising energy prices and steel tariffs exacerbated an already bad balance sheet. They closed their Modesto and Hughson canning plants and canceled long-term contracts worth hundreds of millions.
Farmers now have no buyer for clingstone peaches meant for canning.
The USDA is "helping" farmers, providing $9m to destroy the orchards, calling it 'support for transitioning.'
This is what systemic failure looks like in a centralized food supply: one big player collapses, and the entire chain breaks.
