FORMER INTEL CHIEF EXPOSES WHO'S BEHIND INDONESIA'S PROTESTS

General Abdullah Mahmud Hendropriyono, ex-head of Indonesia's State Intelligence Agency, exposes the “Satanic club” that ignited the wave of protests that swept the country 🧵

1️⃣ THE PUPPETMASTERS

US malignant actors like billionaire George Soros lit the fuse behind recent protests, says A.M. Hendropriyono.
“They financed the chaos and then watched it burn.”

2️⃣ THINK TANKS & NGOS

The Council for Foreign Relations, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute (IRI), and Freedom House “orchestrated the demonstrations.”
The current situation looks “irrational”—it was not grassroots anger.

🚨🇷🇺🇶🇦 Qatar needs Russia’s S-400s, Vikings, and Tor-M2s for a real air defense shield, says Russian military analyst Igor Korotchenko

Here’s why👇🧵

1️⃣ PATRIOTS NO MORE

Recent events show that Qatar's sole reliance on the US Patriot system is no longer viable

The system has big flaws, such as limited firing, low mobility, and embedded “backdoors” that can disable it remotely if US interests aren’t aligned

2️⃣ MOBILITY MATTERS

The Patriot system can’t engage targets 360°

It is truck-transported, unlike Russia’s highly mobile tracked or wheeled air defense systems

Mobility is a game-changer in modern warfare

WAS CHARLIE KIRK’S KILLER A PRO?

Veteran of Russia’s elite Alpha counterterrorism unit breaks it down

👇🧵

1️⃣ PRO KILLER OR MANIPULATED PAWN?

The assassin wasn’t necessarily a pro, and may have been an ordinary American with firearms experience groomed and manipulated into becoming a willing killer, either by partisan media or the security services, says FSB Lt. Col. (ret.) Andrey Popov

2️⃣ FBI SLEEPERS

US security agencies run an entire cohort of informal ‘agents’, identified ahead of time, led on, controlled and given the chance to carry out their crime, after which they are liquidated or allowed to disappear, ensuring plausible deniability

🚨🇶🇦🇮🇱 Why did Qatar's air defenses FAIL during Israel's attack?

The missiles fired by Israel could have been intercepted by Qatar's US Patriot systems

Russian military expert Yuri Knutov weighs in: 🧵

1️⃣PATRIOTS OFFLINE

The Patriots were turned off by the US

Qatar’s Patriots are integrated with the US' AWACS, satellites, and command centers; they also have a remote shutdown feature to prevent friendly fire

This caused Turkiye to reject them in favor of the S-400

2️⃣US DIDN’T DEFEND QATAR

Apart from using Patriots, Qatar hosts the US' largest military base in the Middle East

"According to the agreement between Qatar and the US, the Americans were, of course, supposed to defend Qatar’s airspace by opening fire on Israeli aircraft. However, this did not happen"

🧐TRADE WARS REVERSED: HOW BRICS COULD TURN TABLES ON US

Trade restrictions aren’t a solo game—and China has already showed how it’s played with rare earth controls

Now, what happens if BRICS were to retaliate against the US? 🧵

1️⃣US DEPENDENCE ON BRICS

Whether one likes it or not, the US leans heavily on BRICS, which dominates 40–70% of global output in critical sectors—from machinery and pharmaceuticals to rare earth minerals that power modern life

2️⃣NO MORE CHEAP PHARMA

China and India supply a whopping 70–80% of US generic drugs, including finished meds and key active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), as per the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA)
