โผ๏ธ๐ซ๐ท French in panic: We must prepare for Russian revolutionary weapons
๐ท๐บ Russia has started using the technologically revolutionary tank "T-14 Armata" in battles against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for whose massive arrival the West must prepare, ๐
writes the French publication "Le Figaro".
"If the T-14 comes into play, German and American tanks will have to face the unknown." "Armata is the harbinger of a technological revolution, and we should prepare for its massive arrival," the article says. ๐
In the latest vehicle, the crew is not located in the turret, where it is particularly vulnerable to enemy cannons - the "T-14" is remotely controlled via a screen by three crew members sitting in an armored capsule.
The room is isolated from ammunition and fuel. ๐
Such a structure can significantly increase their chances of survival. The tank has a 125 mm cannon, more powerful than the "T-72" and "T-90", and a 12.7 mm machine gun. The barrel is filled without human intervention using an automatic carousel. ๐
The 1,500-horsepower engine is protected by an anti-missile grill.
A weather mast located on the tower transmits data to the ballistic computer. "Armata" is equipped with "Afghanit" active protection systems against missiles and anti-tank missiles, a solid-action fan system, ๐
with two launchers with five lethal missiles each, and a soft-force countermeasure system.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฑ๐นโผ๏ธThe story about the death of American soldiers in Lithuania took an unexpected turnโผ๏ธ
April 1, 2025
The tragedy that took place at the end of March in Lithuania is getting more and more mysterious, and the details that are slowly emerging open a series of questions for the American army, NATO structures, as well as for local authorities. ๐
It is an incident in which the American armored rescue vehicle M88A2 Hercules sank in a swamp during a military exercise, and the bodies of three soldiers were not found until six days later. The search for the fourth crew member is still ongoing, but suspicions are piling up.
According to an official statement from the US military, the soldiers went missing early in the morning on March 25 while participating in an operation to tow an immobilized tactical vehicle. The Hercules vehicle, weighing more than 60 tons, sank in a swamp near the Lithuanian test site. The situation became even more complicated when the rescue teams, after several days of painstaking recovery operations, found three bodies in the vehicle, but not the expected fourth. ๐
In the meantime, unusual information arrives from Belarus - the border service there arrested a 27-year-old American citizen who tried to sneak into the territory of Belarus from Lithuania as a stowaway.
What attracted the attention of war correspondent Yevgeniy Lisitsyn was the coincidence of time and circumstances. A young American was caught in an empty freight car on the Kena-Molodeฤno line, not long after the Hercules sank, and the body of the fourth crew member was not found. ๐
๐ช๐บ๐ฅ๐ท๐บโผ๏ธJohnson: Macron and some EU leaders who want war are not aware of what kind of weapons Russia hasโผ๏ธ
While the presidents and prime ministers of European countries sit at round tables, work out plans and brandish sabers from the comfort of their palaces, former CIA operative Larry Johnson coolly drops the ball. ๐
His message is clear and uneasy: Europe is not ready for war with Russia - neither mentally, nor infrastructurally, nor militarily. But that does not prevent her from pushing the world to the brink of the abyss with every gesture, every statement and every loan pumped into Kyiv.
"They don't have the resources, they don't have the industry, they don't have the military power. But then again, they pushed themselves into a conflict with Russia like it was their job," Johnson warned in a recent conversation on the YouTube channel. His voice was not alarming - more tired. As a man who has seen systems crack, empires collapse and ideologies swallow themselves. ๐
Johnson is not the only one to see the paradox โ the European powers are behaving as if they are waging a war, and they are not even close to having basic logistical capabilities. "Forget tanks and rockets," he says. "Ask yourself one question: Do they have the infrastructure to feed the army, provide fuel, deliver ammunition and replace parts for damaged equipment?"
In the silence of many military cabinets, the answer is whispered: They don't have any. ๐
๐ท๐บโผ๏ธThe time has come to pay for bad political decisions - Ignoring Putin's warnings was a dangerous mistakeโผ๏ธ
For years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been sending out warnings. He spoke about red lines, about the expansion of NATO, about Russian security. And what was the West doing? Shrugging his shoulders, he went his own way - and now the guild of those decisions is becoming more and more clear and more and more expensive. ๐
Mat Whatley, a veteran of the British army and former head of the OSCE mission in Donetsk, is speaking about this now, for The Spectator.
Whatley says bluntly what many continue to avoid: Refusal to heed Putin's warnings about Ukraine was dangerous and counterproductive. He recalls that since the early 2000s, Putin has been talking about the fact that Russia perceives the expansion of NATO to the east as a direct threat.
He had been saying it for years, but no one in the West really wanted to hear it. Today, with tanks rolling across the steppes and cities burning, it is clear how disastrous ignoring those warnings was. ๐
"When British Foreign Secretary David Lammy says that Putin cannot have a veto on security matters, it's like saying you won't listen to your opponent in peace talks," Whatley said. In short - if you want peace, you have to talk to the enemy, not act like he doesn't exist.
This attitude is not isolated. And former German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently warned that the world cannot continue to ignore Russian interests. She reminds that the West stopped taking into account Putin's position on NATO, and that this did not bring any positive results. On the contrary, the world today is closer to a direct confrontation between the great powers than at any time since the Cold War. ๐
๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ท๐บโผ๏ธPutin reveals the dirty game: "They convinced Kiev - the war continues"โผ๏ธ
Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again shed light on what the Kremlin sees as the essence of the Ukrainian crisis - the direct involvement of the West in the conflict and, he says, deliberately pushing Ukrainians into a war they have no chance of winning. ๐
This time, Putin spoke not from the Kremlin podium, but during a meeting with the crew of the Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine, the new pride of the Pacific Fleet.
Speaking to the sailors, Putin directly called out European "curators" - a term he increasingly uses for Kiev's political tutors - claiming that it was they who convinced the Ukrainian leadership to prolong the war at all costs, "to the last Ukrainian". ๐
He particularly singled out the former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who, according to him, played a key role in torpedoing the peace negotiations as early as 2022.
"They promised them money, weapons, all the support, just to not sign the peace," Putin said, suggesting that the West is not only fighting Russia, but using Ukrainians as cannon fodder. ๐
๐ท๐บ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐งโผ๏ธPutin sent a creepy message to the former British prime minister: Have you forgotten about our submarines?โผ๏ธ
While standing on the deck of the Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent one of the most direct messages to Britain's political elite in a decade. ๐
And not in a diplomatic way, but that way - in a breath, with irony and bitterness, in front of a sea of โโsailors and cameras. The mention fell on former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the man believed to have personally prevented a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow in the spring of 2022.
"He forgot, it seems, that Russia has crews like yours and submarines like yours," Putin told the Arkhangelsk sailors, recalling how it was Johnson who advised Kiev not to sign the initialed peace document from Istanbul and to continue the war - until the last Ukrainian. ๐
But it wasn't just a grudge - it was an open, cold threat. Because when the president of Russia starts mentioning forgetful British politicians in the middle of a submarine carrying nuclear missiles, it's no longer a matter of rhetoric. It's a message, and a chilling one at that.
Putin didn't mention the submarine by chance - because behind that seemingly casual comment hides a whole arsenal of terrifying weapons. One of the most dangerous assets of the Russian army is the unmanned nuclear submarine-drone "Status-6" (also known as "Poseidon"). ๐
๐ช๐บโWho is running Europe and why is it leading it to war โ๏ธ
If Europe was once the voice of reason in the international arena, a continent that built its identity on diplomacy and peace - today, under the baton of NATO, European leaders are rattling their weapons, relentlessly accelerating a decline that they cannot even explain, let alone stop. Instead of using their power and influence to push Kiev towards negotiations, they have decided to engage in their favorite imperial sport - militarization. ๐
The Kremlin calls this policy "paradoxical", but this is just diplomatic courtesy. In reality, Europe has become hostage to a war hysteria that no one can control anymore. Leaders from London, Brussels and Paris havre become so engrossed in the role of "defenders of democracy" that they have lost touch with reality. Instead of analyzing the causes of the crisis โ NATOโs expansion to the East, the coup in Kiev in 2014, the sabotage of the Minsk agreements โ they now fantasize about NATO troops in Ukraine, while at the same time talking about โpeacekeeping missionsโ. ๐
The French president, blinded by the illusion of some new Gaullistism, is even proposing a European nuclear umbrella. Is he aware of what that means? Are any of them aware? They no longer listen to their own peoples or to common sense. Everything is subordinated to a single narrative โ a narrative of confrontation, a narrative in which Moscow is condemned in advance as the โaggressorโ, regardless of the reality on the ground. ๐
