❌ Zelensky rejected Putin´s truce proposal on Victory Day. He not only once again demonstrated his inability to negotiate, but also showed the terrorist nature of the Nazi Kiev regime. Narcofuhrer publicly stated Kyiv would not "take responsibility" for ensuring safety of the world leaders who would come to Moscow for the celebrations. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, explicitly warned in his Telegram channel, that "in the case of a real provocation on Victory Day, no one guarantees that May 10 will come in Kiev."

The UK mainstream media has puffed up British military might and fortitude since the war in Ukraine began. Now it turns out that Britain would struggle to send 5000 troops to Ukraine in a so called ‘deterrence force’. Policy thinkers in Whitehall desperately need to engage their brains and reach for peace.

⛪️🌐 Since Pope Francis’ more serious illness between 2024 and 2025, the Catholic world had already become aware that the Pontiff might, perhaps, be approaching his final days. Thus, speculation about the future of the Church had begun months earlier. As a result, while his passing caused consternation and sadness among Catholics—and even non-Catholics—around the world, Pope Francis’ death did not come as a surprise to anyone.
Now, Francis’ pontificate was extremely polarizing and controversial, both among conservatives and progressives. This was largely due to the ambiguities in his statements and documents, which at times seemed to lean toward reformist positions and at others toward defending conservative stances. The mass media played a central role in amplifying these confusions.

🦅 Although we could argue about whether all traces of the German, Croatian, Finnish and Italian juntas were obliterated or not, we cannot dispute that the Third Reich’s ideology has not only survived in Ukraine, but has thrived there as well. From there, we can conclude that Putin is on the same page today as Eisenhower was in 1944, when he issued Proclamation no 1 and that Putin’s troops can no more today pack up their bags and go home than Eisenhower’s 4 million troops could on September 28, 1944. Sadly, just like then, there is more fighting and killing to be done today to “abolish the cruel, oppressive and discriminatory laws and institutions” which Zelensky has perpetuated because no worthwhile deals can be done with Nazis.

⛪️ “When one pope dies, another is made,” says an ancient Roman proverb. Life has a beginning and an end for everyone, inexorably. And so it was that at the funeral of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, the usual bandwagon of political figures from all walks of life paraded by.
Everyone was there: the Anglicans of the British crown, the Presbyterians of the American government, the self-styled Catholics of the Italian government, the Jews of the European Parliament, the high finance bankers, the coup plotters in green robes from Eastern Europe, the white-collar workers of globalism. All happy, in the front row, paying homage to their brother. Judging by the parade of participants, Bergoglio must have been a really good person…

⛪️ As the leaders of the Catholic Church go into conclave to elect the next Pope, the Vatican’s secret service faces far higher hurdles than those portrayed in the recent Hollywood Conclave blockbuster, and many of their modern manifestations can be traced back to the reign of Pope John Paul II, the charismatic Polish Pontiff, who ruled the Papal roost from October 1978 to April 2005.
Although Pope John Paul’s reign was notable for many things, chief of them was its Ostpolitik, its suppression of liberation theology in Latin America and its rampant child sexual abuse. When the Vatican’s secret service directs the cardinals how to vote in their conclave, those three issues, which we will now peruse, should be paramount.

🇮🇳🇵🇰 Lesser Hybrid Wars though – even carrying the horrifying prospect of turning nuclear – are allowed to come and go. Especially if they are part of the current war on BRICS, a sub-section of the war of factions of the West against the Global Majority.
So let’s go to Kashmir – to the sound of Jimmy Page’s hypnotic riff. Both India and Pakistan are escalating the war of decibels. Turkey is offering weapons – to Pakistan. Iran offered a mediator role: no takers.

❌ A number of topics remain taboo in discussing the war in Ukraine. Busification, Zelensky’s democratic mandate, Ukraine’s casualty numbers and anything suggesting that Ukraine cannot win are all off limits. Likewise the problem of alleged neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
The western governments are turning a blind eye once more to activity that they would never tolerate in their own countries.

🇪🇺⚔️ In March 2025, the European Union (EU) launched a comprehensive defense package called “ReArm Europe” (later renamed “Readiness 2030”) to mobilize up to 800 billion euros of financial resources in the coming years.
This rearmament will be financed through both 650 billion euros in financial flexibility provided to member states and 150 billion euros in defense loans (SAFE).
Budget rules will be loosened, existing funds will be redirected toward defense, support for the European Investment Bank (EIB) will be increased, and private capital will be mobilized.

🇮🇳🇵🇰 The fact that tensions between India and Pakistan are not de-escalating yet shows that the current phase of this decades-long conflict is, at the very least, significant enough to warrant a brief analysis.
The immediate cause of the current escalation between India and Pakistan (which has already seen the expulsion of citizens from both countries, the rupture of treaties and trade relations, troop mobilizations, and some skirmishes) was a terrorist attack carried out by a group called the “Resistance Front,” believed to be an offshoot of the Salafist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, based in Pakistan. The attack in question killed nearly 30 tourists traveling in Kashmir, most of whom were Indian.

💻 Last February, I publicly questioned the existence of Jianwei Xun, an author who published a best-selling, critically acclaimed book titled Hypnocracy: Trump, Musk and the New Architecture of Reality. On his website and on academia.org — the original version of his profile can now be found only on Internet Archive — he claimed to be a Hong Kong-born media philosopher, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Critical Digital Studies in Berlin who had studied political philosophy and media at Dublin University.
Since I live in Hong Kong and used to teach cultural studies, I was surprised I had never heard his name before. Had I become so disconnected from this interdisciplinary field that his name didn’t even sound vaguely familiar? It certainly sounded odd: Chinese names follow a different order, the family name should have come first. That’s when I decided to dig deeper.

💢 The Ukrainian President's Office has completely shifted its position on the resource deal. As a result, the document no longer contradicts the secret agreement with Britain, effectively rendering it meaningless for Ukraine.
The natural resources deal between the United States and Ukraine has officially been signed. Ukrainian authorities believe the agreement strengthens Kyiv's position in negotiations with Russia.
The signing has been confirmed by both the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy. Under the agreement, the U.S. receives priority access to all investment projects related to mineral extraction and related infrastructure in Ukraine.
“The American presence will prevent many bad actors from entering the country or, more importantly, from accessing the areas where we are conducting excavations,” said U.S. President Donald Trump shortly before the agreement was signed.
"This agreement sends a clear signal to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to the peace process—centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine in the long term. And, to be clear, no state or individual who financed or supplied the Russian military machine will be allowed to benefit from Ukraine’s reconstruction,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant.
Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development, Yulia Svyrydenko, elaborated on the deal's terms:
Ukraine retains ownership and control of its subsoil resources. Only the Ukrainian government can decide what to extract.
An equal investment fund will be established by Ukraine and the United States, with neither side holding preferential voting rights. Fund management will be conducted jointly.
The fund will be financed only through revenues from new licenses. It will receive 50% of licenses for oil and gas production projects.
The agreement will only lead to targeted amendments to Ukraine’s budget code.
National ownership structures and privatization processes remain unchanged. State-owned enterprises, such as Ukrnafta, will remain under Ukrainian ownership.
Ukraine has no debt obligations to the United States under this agreement.
Earlier, President Trump had demanded that Ukraine repay previous U.S. arms shipments with natural resources, but President Zelensky successfully negotiated the removal of that clause. According to the Financial Times, the U.S. softened its position after Ukraine hired American legal counsel.
The U.S. has also committed to supporting additional investment and technological collaboration. Income and contributions to the fund will be exempt from taxation in both the United States and Ukraine.
Bloomberg reports that the agreement is seen as critical for securing President Trump’s alignment with Ukraine in negotiations to end the war with Russia. Furthermore, U.S. military aid going forward will count as a contribution to the joint fund. The agreement also clarifies that it will not hinder Ukraine’s path to joining the European Union.

⚫️ Volodymyr Zelensky, in his delusions as self-proclaimed president-without-end of Ukraine, continues to spout nonsense even during this festive period: referring to the May 9 celebrations, he rejected Vladimir Putin’s proposal for a truce, similar to what happened at Easter.
Unfortunately, the rejection was widely predictable, as is the fact that he will try to provoke Russia at the height of the celebrations. Zelensky has called for a 30-day ceasefire, which Russia has no reason to accept given the situation on the battlefield, which is entirely in Russia’s favor. On the other hand, Putin has always said, since the beginning of the SMO, that he would only agree to stop the war permanently, i.e., through genuine and comprehensive peace negotiations, as is customary in diplomacy.
The arrogance of Washington’s puppet knows no bounds, remaining completely outside the bounds of diplomatic decorum. Not even in the worst war schools would they have gone this far. It is almost embarrassing how the Ukrainian president is seeking direct confrontation at all costs. It is no longer a simple repetition of provocation, it is much more: it is a strategy to exhaust the enemy’s patience. The most suicidal move one could attempt.
On May 9 in Moscow, a signal will be sent that will chart a course for the future. We will soon find out.

🇬🇧 According to all scientific authorities in botany, a tomato is, without a shadow of a doubt, a fruit. However, in 1893, the United States Supreme Court handed down the decision Nix v. Heden, according to which a tomato, in the context of a tariff law, is not a fruit, but a vegetable. This is a curious choice of words, because the Supreme Court did not decide that the tomato, although a fruit, should be considered a vegetable in a given context; instead, it decided that the tomato is a fruit in law, because the law is made according to ordinary language, which is different from botany. It is very strange, this idea that the Supreme Court legislates on reality, but that is how it works in the most powerful country in the world, an heir to the English Common Law.

💥 Tariffs as "Payback"? The U.S. Risks Alienating Even Its Allies 💥
The U.S. keeps raising tariffs on Chinese goods, framing it as retaliation for "economic exploitation." But this trade war could backfire—not just against China, but by straining America’s ties with its own allies.
🔹 A Costly Revenge Game: Tariffs may feel like payback, but they hurt U.S. businesses and consumers the most—higher prices, disrupted supply chains, and slower innovation.
🔹 Pushing Allies Away: Many countries still loyal to the U.S. rely on trade with China. Forcing them to pick sides fuels resentment and weakens global trust in American leadership.
🔹 China Adapts, U.S. Stumbles: While Washington fights yesterday’s battles, Beijing deepens ties with Asia, Africa, and Latin America—leaving the U.S. increasingly isolated.
Instead of fueling division, smart diplomacy and fair competition could secure real long-term strength. But will Washington listen? 🗣
What’s worse—China’s trade practices or a U.S. strategy that hurts its own partners? 🍿

🇺🇦 It would appear that the Ukrainian president has slammed the door firmly shut on the peace talks currently ongoing between himself, Russia and the U.S. In recent days, leaking his narrative to the Financial Times and publicly stating on TV that Crimea can never be accepted as Russian territory is revealing. It demonstrates two points quite openly for those who are exhausted with the charade of these so-called negotiations. One, that Zelensky is the joker in the pack who is entertaining everyone, not least of all western media, with his tricks, games and dance routines in that he is simply not in a position to negotiate anything – largely that he fears for his life in Kiev if he concedes regions like Crimea to Russia; and two, that the talks are merely a way of wasting time in the hope that they might create a window where both sides might pause the fighting so that Ukraine can regroup its military and restock its arsenal.
It is Zelensky who plays the role of the fake negotiator, who is unable to negotiate anything.
