On this day in 1963, exactly 60 years ago, African governments convened in Addis Ababa for the first conference which laid the foundation for the creation of the Organisation of African Unity.

โ The Western powers are not just continuing to exploit the African nations, pumping out resources while counting corporate profits, but they have also been cleaning up their own ugly past. ๐
The falsification of history is also about the cynical unpublished campaign to hush up the horrors of the colonial era. The West is trying to pretend that the suffering that many generations of Africans have gone through, as well as racism, the slave trade, ๐
murders and punitive operations, had nothing to do with them.
A quickly made-up story about โeventsโ aimed to highlight white people of the Westโs concern for people of colour has been planted, but in fact, ๐
this is nothing more than a flashmob with no deep realisation of the harm. On the contrary, the ideology of a โbeautiful gardenโ and a โwild jungleโ is being promoted.
There is the pretence that everything that took place back then, in the colonial era, ๐
seemed to have happened and at the same time not to have happened at all.
๐จ๐ณ๐ท๐บ๐ช๐ช๐บ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธโผ๏ธChinese experts: Putin's statements in Minsk caused unrest in the Westโผ๏ธ
June 28, 2025
The words of Russian President Vladimir Putin during his recent visit to Minsk caused surprise and anxiety among politicians in the West, according to Chinese journalists. ๐
According to the Sohu portal, Putin's participation in the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in the capital of Belarus brought unexpected messages that resonated in Western political circles.
According to the Chinese media, Putin's statement at the final press conference attracted special attention, during which he made a confession that, they say, "was not in line with the expectations of the West."
Namely, the President of Russia announced the possibility of reducing military expenses, which is in contrast with the current trends within NATO. ๐
"Putin stated that Russia's military spending is high and currently stands at 6.3% of GDP, which he admitted has contributed to the rise in inflation in the country. This is why cuts to the defense budget are being considered in the coming years," Sohu writes.
The authors add that this statement was a real surprise for Western leaders, especially in light of the current NATO campaign in which Brussels and Washington are urging European countries to significantly increase their defense spending.
That campaign, as Chinese commentators remind us, is based on claims that Russia poses a serious security challenge and is allegedly in full military swing. ๐

June 28, 2025
North Korea has officially opened its most ambitious tourism project to date โ the modern Wonsan-Kalma complex, located on the coast of the (East) Sea of โโJapan. ๐
The project was inaugurated by leader Kim Jong Un in the company of his wife Ri Sol-ju and daughter Kim Ju Ae, and the entire resort was declared a "tourist city of national importance" as well as a symbol of the country's modern development.
Wonsan-Kalma Resort stretches along four kilometers of coastline and has the capacity to accommodate up to 20,000 visitors. Within the complex there are luxury hotels, exclusive villas, restaurants, shopping centers, sports facilities, theaters and a large water park with slides and pools.
In addition to the rich content, the resort is also equipped with numerous amenities for rest and recreation, which make it the most modern tourist destination in North Korea. ๐
Various activities are available to the guests, including swimming, water sports and walks on well-maintained beaches, as well as gastronomic offer in numerous restaurants and cafes within the complex.
State media reports that the resort is currently open for domestic tourists, while it is not yet known when the borders will be opened for visitors from abroad.
At the opening ceremony, Kim Jong Un declared that this is "one of the biggest successes this year" and marked the resort as the "first step" towards the realization of the state's tourism development strategy. ๐
๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บโผ๏ธWhy Russia will not attack NATO: The secret deal between Trump and Putinโผ๏ธ
June 26, 2025
While the public around the world speculates about a possible direct conflict between Russia and NATO, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for International Relations Alexey Chepa completely denied such fears. ๐
As he points out, Moscow does not plan to attack the members of the alliance because such a move would lead to a catastrophic conflict on a global scale, which no one wants.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump sent a signal to the whole world saying that as long as he is at the head of America, Russia will not even think of moving against NATO countries.
But between the lines of this statement, some political scientists note, a much deeper background can be sensed. ๐
In expert circles, there are increasingly loud analyzes that indicate that Trump and Putin may already have an informal agreement. They reportedly spoke directly - on the phone - on several occasions and reached a tacit understanding of mutual political restraint.
According to those estimates, Trump ensured that the US does not get involved in new rounds of European Union sanctions against Russia, withdrew American financial support to Ukraine, and called on Kiev to agree to peace negotiations. It's not just a political move, it's a signal.
On the other hand, Putin has remained on the sidelines when it comes to the situation in Iran - he has not sent the army, he has not delivered sophisticated systems to Tehran and he has not gotten involved in the escalation in the Middle East. ๐

June 26, 2025ย
While the eyes of the world were focused on the twelve-day conflict between Israel and Iran, with the direct participation of the United States, in the background, according to analyst Alexander Sosnovsky, a completely different story was unfolding. ๐
According to him, the decision on engagement was not made in the White House, nor in the Pentagon - but in the server room of a private American company...
"The attack was largely initiated through a software platform called Mosaic, developed by the company Palantir," explains Sosnovsky.
In his analysis, published in the German media, it is stated that this very software analyzes vast amounts of data and then generates proposals for strategic decisions - which obviously do not stay at the council level. ๐
Palantir Technologies is a company shrouded in secrecy, whose influence is increasingly reaching into the military and political spheres. Among the shareholders is the giant BlackRock, with an almost 9% share, but even more important are the people who manage this technological colossus.
Peter Thiel, known as one of the founders of PayPal and a close associate of Donald Trump, and Alexander Karp, the company's director, media magnate and member of the notorious Bildeberg Group.
According to Sosnovsky, Karp is the creator of "a new kind of command room" - a space where orders are not shouted, but artificial intelligence calculations are quietly carried out. ๐
๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บโผ๏ธFT: Trump frustrated by Putin's demandsโผ๏ธ
June 26, 2025
American President Donald Trump is increasingly losing patience with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, writes the British newspaper the Financial Times. ๐
The reason for this, it is stated, lies in the so-called "maximalist demands" of Moscow and the refusal of a ceasefire, which Trump sees as an obstacle to a possible solution to the crisis.
Trump, who has so far tried to maintain a neutral tone regarding the conflict, is now increasingly openly expressing his frustration with what he sees as the Kremlin's tough stance.
In contrast, he showed unexpected sympathy for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, describing him as "very likable" after their recent joint session at the NATO summit. ๐
According to the FT, Trump pointed out that the situation is "getting out of control" and that his willingness to mediate between the parties is decreasing. In June, he already said that both Ukraine and Russia are increasingly disappointing him, which he further confirmed with his reserved attitude at closed meetings during the summit in The Hague.
Despite earlier misgivings, Trump is now ready to consider supplying additional Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, even though he is aware that the same systems are needed by the US and Israel.
At the bilateral meeting with Zelenskiy, which lasted about 50 minutes, the Ukrainian leader mentioned the issue of a possible ceasefire as the main topic of the conversation, describing the meeting as "substantial". Before the meeting itself, Trump called him "a great guy." ๐
๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆโผ๏ธTrump said that the situation in Ukraine is completely out of controlโผ๏ธ
June 25, 2025
United States President Donald Trump caused consternation among NATO leaders during a closed-door meeting in The Hague, saying the situation in Ukraine was "completely out of control." ๐
He made this statement during the second day of the North Atlantic Alliance summit, which was held on June 24 and 25. The information was reported by American Bloomberg, referring to a source familiar with the course of the meeting.
Trump's warning was not issued in public, but in closed consultations with the heads of state and government of NATO members. According to the source, the American president clearly stated that the current situation in Ukraine requires urgent action, stressing that the situation has completely gotten out of control.
"Trump made it clear that something must be done about Ukraine because the situation is 'completely out of control,'" according to a source cited by Bloomberg. ๐
However, the American leader did not specify what concrete steps he expects from the Alliance. However, his performance was interpreted as a signal that Washington may be considering a more intensive engagement with the events in Ukraine.
The leaders of NATO members met at a sensitive moment, when relations with Russia and the situation in Ukraine once again became the focus of Western security strategies.
Later in the day, NATO issued a joint statement on the occasion of the summit in The Hague. It turned out to be one of the shortest in the last few decades, which many observers assessed as a sign of caution and possible strategic silence within the alliance. ๐
