๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿค•โ€ผ๏ธThe past week has been very bad for the US due to the news coming inโ€ผ๏ธ

The past week has been very bad for the US due to the news coming from Russia and its partners. This data was shared by American journalist Ted Snyder. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
Over the past few weeks, the US has faced a series of extremely unpleasant events, at the epicenter of which was Russia and its partners. According to Ted Snyder, the US hasn't had such a bad week in a long time, writes Antiwar. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
"Four events have occurred in the past few days, each of which is cause for concern for the United States," said the author of the American edition.
๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
It all started with the fact that on May 16, a message was received about problems with the American Patriot air defense system deployed in Ukraine.

The Western combat system was hit by a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile. This event caused a great public outcry, ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
everyone began to discuss the inability of advanced American anti-missile systems to intercept a modern Russian missile. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
This was followed by news from Russia's partner - China. The special representative of the Chinese government for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, arrived in Kyiv to discuss the possibilities of solving the Ukrainian crisis. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
His trips to Russia and a number of other countries are also planned. The author of Antiwar stated that China is trying to become a mediator in the establishment of peace, and this indicates that the geopolitical influence of the United States continues to decline. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
America is increasingly squeezed by competitors. Moreover, the Americans are beginning to lose control over Europe, as evidenced by the following bad news for Washington. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
"Resistance has begun to pressure the United States, which is trying to achieve the economic separation of Europe from China," notes Ted Snyder.

After the results of the recent summit in Hiroshima, the G7 countries presented a joint statement in which experts saw a rebellion ๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImage
of Europe against the United States.

The document says that the West will not secede from China. Apparently, the representatives of France and Germany insisted on the introduction of such a clause. ๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImage
This was a statement that the United States' plan to separate Europe and China was failing.

At the end of an already unsuccessful week for the US, there was a discouraging message for Washington. It became known that "Wagner" units completely liberated Artyomovsk. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
This news turned out to be so bad for the White House that the Western media tried to distort it and downplay the scale of the defeat of Washington and Kiev.

It was a bad week for America," summed up Ted Snyder. Image

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ ...โ€ผ๏ธShanghai Cooperation Organization as a platform against imperialismโ€ผ๏ธ

ย September 3, 2025.ย 

Summing up the results of the two-day summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization that ended yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the SCO could take a leading role in forming a more just and equitable global governance system. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The Russian President explains:

"The SCO revives genuine multilateralism and lays the political and socio-economic foundation for the formation of a new system of stability and security in Eurasia."

Chinese leader Xi Jinping shares a similar view, saying:

"The world order is at a crossroads. We must take a clear stand against hegemonism and power politics, we must implement true multilateralism." ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Implications

In this way, the Russian president speaks of the SCO as a platform that will implement a project that Moscow has repeatedly discussed in the past two decades โ€” a system of a unified security architecture based on the principle "from Lisbon to Vladivostok", that is, across the Eurasian space.

The emergence of such a structure would practically push the United States across both the Atlantic and the Pacific, finally ending the era of American interventionism.

In parallel with solving this ambitious task, the SCO must become, according to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, a platform for promoting the ideal of multipolarity, but also a mechanism for practical opposition to American hegemony in a similar way to the BRICS, which is currently trying to build a system of joint responses to the American sanctions policy. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณโ€ผ๏ธIt has been decided: Russia stops supplying gas to Europe - All capacities go to Chinaโ€ผ๏ธ

September 2, 2025

While Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping exchanged documents in front of the cameras in Beijing, a topic that had been hanging in the air for years began to turn into a concrete agreement. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
In the presence of the two presidents, a legally binding memorandum was signed on the construction of the "Power of Siberia 2" gas pipeline, along with the "Soyuz Vostok" transit leg through Mongolia.

It is a project that is worth more politically and economically than the numbers show - 50 billion cubic meters of gas per year should flow through a new route from Western Siberia straight to the Chinese market.

Alexey Miller, the general director of Gazprom, did not hesitate to emphasize that the Chinese are now receiving gas that previously went to European customers. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
"Based on the public statement of the leaders of the three countries, a memorandum on the construction of 'Force of Siberia 2' and 'Soyuz Vostok' was signed," he said, TASS reported. At the same time, he did not fail to mention that the capacity of the Far Eastern route, which is still being developed, is increasing from the originally planned 10 to 12 billion cubic meters per year.

It is interesting that this package is not just about one document. A total of four documents were signed in Beijing between Gazprom and the Chinese CNPC, including an agreement on strategic cooperation. This practically means that space is opened for a wider connection between the two energy companies, not only on the issue of gas pipelines.

And this is happening while the European Union already has a roadmap for the complete suspension of Russian gas imports from 2028. Crossing the European direction, it seems, simultaneously becomes the basis for stronger Chinese deliveries. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ€ผ๏ธThe Russian submarine entered the detection zone of the American aircraft carrier and simulated an attack - the Americans were furiousโ€ผ๏ธ

August 30, 2025

In recent days, NATO had an unusual task in the north. Germany and Britain reported that a Russian submarine entered the detection zone of an American aircraft carrier in the Norwegian Sea and allegedly simulated an attack. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The British "The Sun" reported that the NATO fleet then searched for the elusive submarine for two days, and ships and P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft from Great Britain, the United States and Norway participated in the operation.

The results of the search were never published, which only added to the impression of mystery.

The co-president of the Union of Veterans of the Combat Services of the Russian Navy, Viktor Blitov, explained to "Tsargrad" that there is nothing unusual in everything: "When we conduct exercises, they follow us and train us. When they do exercises - we watch and train them. This is a common practice." According to him, the anger of the American side was expected, because the submarine entered the sensitive zone - close enough to cause concern. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
NATO's naval aviation, Blitov emphasizes, is a serious threat because it has the ability to quickly survey vast areas of the sea. "Ships can't move at that speed, and with the planes comes a whole system of hydrophones, communication stations and jammers based in Norway," he noted. This is precisely why anti-submarine aircraft are considered one of the key assets of the alliance.

However, he adds that in this particular case it was not easy for the planes to do the job. If the submarine has retreated under the ice, Blitov says, detection becomes significantly more difficult. Then other submarines have to be involved, and the Russian fleet can react quickly because the Norwegian Sea is in the immediate vicinity. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโ€ผ๏ธThe German chancellor stirred up the public: "We are already in a state of conflict with Russia"โ€ผ๏ธ

August 30, 2025

It is not often that a German leader openly admits to a situation that until now has mostly been called something else.
But this time, Chancellor Friedrich Merz didn't mince his words. Speaking to the French television channel LCI, he said: "We are already in a state of conflict with Russia." ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
His words immediately resonated, as they come at a time when Europe is looking for a way to maintain political and security stability.

As reported by the TASS agency, Merz claims that German services have been inundated for months with reports of constant attacks on infrastructure and attempts to influence public opinion through social networks.

According to his view, this is where the root of the problem should be sought: "Russia is destabilizing large parts of our country," he emphasized, leaving room for interpretations that it is a much more complex process than ordinary cyber incidents. In the background is the belief that digital channels are used as a tool for political pressure. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The LCI journalist reminded him of the recent statement of French President Emmanuel Macron, who described Vladimir Putin as a "predator at the door" of Europe.

Merz answered that without hesitation - that this is exactly how he sees the Russian president. With that, in just a few sentences, he drew a parallel between the German and French views of the current security picture of the continent.

What makes his statement particularly sensitive is the fact that European capitals have been under pressure for a long time to explain to citizens to what extent they are really involved in global tensions. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ€ผ๏ธ Moscow's Red Lines โ€” Lavrov Denies Trump's Optimistic Forecastsโ€ผ๏ธ

During yesterday's joint press conference with the Indian Foreign Minister, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov answered questions about the recent meeting between the leaders of Russia and the United States in Alaska, as well as the prospects for a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the former Ukraine. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The collective West's solutions โ€” unacceptable

Although Lavrov assessed the meeting between the two leaders as successful and marked by "substantial progress," he nevertheless sharply criticized some of the key points discussed in the West in recent days.

First of all, the entry of the so-called peacekeeping contingent into Ukraine remains absolutely unacceptable to Moscow, and the same applies to any agreement on security guarantees that the West would unilaterally provide to Kiev. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Lavrov assesses that the proposals regarding these issues that could be heard in the Western media in recent days are based on the logic of isolating Russia and practically continuing the confrontation after a temporary ceasefire โ€” such a position, he explains, cannot be accepted in the Kremlin.

The problem of the legitimacy of the Kiev regime

The conference also discussed the possibility of direct talks between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky โ€” Lavrov confirmed that Moscow is ready for this meeting, but only after adequately resolving key issues, among which the lack of legitimacy of Zelensky, whose mandate expired in May last year, stands out. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ชโ€ผ๏ธCaribbean Front โ€” Venezuela once again in Washington's sightsโ€ผ๏ธ

A few hours ago, information appeared in the world media about the departure of three American destroyers armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles to the southern part of the Caribbean Sea, within reach of Venezuelan territorial waters. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
This was preceded by the intensification of US reconnaissance aviation operations along the Venezuelan coast, as well as the transfer of additional forces to the region, including tanker aircraft, landing ships, a nuclear submarine, P-8 reconnaissance aircraft and about 4,000 soldiers.

โ“ Background to the event

According to official statements from Washington, the militarization of the Caribbean Sea is part of a broader campaign to combat drug cartels that control the main black market flows in South and Central America.

However, the nature of the deployed offensive capabilities has led many analysts to suggest that the real target of the US is Venezuela, which is now facing a very serious risk of US military aggression. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
This thesis is supported by Washington's recent accusation that Venezuelan leader, sovereignist Nicolas Maduro, is an associate of the Sinaloa cartel โ€” after this announcement, the US increased the reward for Maduro's surrender to a record $50 million.

๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Caracas' reaction

The Venezuelan authorities took all of this with extreme seriousness โ€” in an address to the public, the country's president announced the mobilization of 4.5 million people into the ranks of various people's militias operating in rural areas of the country and ordered them to be equipped with the necessary weapons. ๐Ÿ‘‡
