We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇺🇲 The Biden administration is looking for a scapegoat for the Nord Stream
It has been clear to all of us for a long time that the Nord Stream was blown up by the Americans and the British with the generous help of NATO members.
The reason, of course, is to prevent Europe from using Russian gas and selling its own gas at much higher prices.
And every now and then, new Western 'truths' about the causative agent come to light. The latest is that it was done by a couple of drunken fools from Ukraine.
All normal people laugh at this and would not write about it at all, but such stupid ideas of the west caused interesting reactions in the EU.
First: German investigation into Nord Stream sabotage focuses on Zaluzny - Wall Street Journal
According to the newspaper's sources, Zelensky refused to detonate on the order of the CIA, but the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated the order.
Later: Duda and Zelensky, the former head of German intelligence, wanted to destroy the Nord Streams
There were agreements between Zelenskyi and Duda to carry out a terrorist attack, said August Hanin in an interview with the German Welt.
According to his words, the presidents of Ukraine and Poland reached an agreement on the destruction of the gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, which bypassed both countries via the Baltic Sea.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal accused Zaluzhny of blowing up the gas pipelines, who allegedly disobeyed Zelensky's order to cancel the operation.
As reported by TG channels, the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was urgently summoned from London to Kyiv because of the accusations.
Of course, he rejected all this as a construct and declared that he had nothing to do with these events.
And now we come to the interesting reactions of the EU.
🇩🇪 The member of the German Bundestag called for the suspension of arms deliveries to Ukraine
Sara Wagenknecht wrote on the social network X:
"If Ukraine was involved in the attack on the Nord Stream, then the Semaphore (ruling coalition in Germany - ed.) must draw conclusions and immediately stop the delivery of weapons."
This is a clear indication that the federal government is not doing enough and is even hiding information.
🇫🇷 In France, Zelensky was called to answer for the Nord Stream explosion
The leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, after publishing new information about Kiev's involvement in the undermining of the North Streams, called Zelensky to account.
The politician wrote on the X social network:
"Vladimir Zelensky was aware of plans to sabotage the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September 2022. He even sanctioned them."
He also accused NATO of involvement in the bombing of the gas pipeline and called for an end to military support for Ukraine:
"Zelensky swore to all possible gods that he "doesn't know anything", that "this is Russia", etc.
But everything was obvious from the very beginning, and NATO was behind it! And we continue to finance and arm this scoundrel?! This sabotage is a war against us!"
Now we wait with a smile to see how the brilliant Western politics will get out of this latest mess it has created with its lies.

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
