🇺🇸‼️Quiet changes in Washington: More and more power is passing into the hands of one man‼️

July 27, 2025

A quiet but significant political shift is taking place in Washington. While President Donald Trump remains formally at the helm of the administration, more and more attention is being drawn to the growing influence of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose political profile and positioning are prompting comments that he could be the future successor to the president. 👇

Media in favor of the political establishment increasingly highlight Rubio as a key figure in shaping the new American foreign policy. According to CNN and the Financial Times, Rubio managed to exert a strong influence on Trump's views on relations with Russia, China, Venezuela and Iran.

CNN describes him as "a man for all tasks in foreign policy", while the FT states that it is thanks to Rubio that American diplomacy is once again showing determination and clarity.

What is particularly striking is the fact that Rubio, a former presidential candidate and former senator from Florida, received almost unanimous support from the Senate for the position of secretary of state - 99 votes out of a possible 100. 👇

In contrast, other Trump nominees, such as Pete Hegsett for Secretary of Defense, were confirmed by a much more difficult process - 50 votes to 50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the deciding vote.

Rubio, according to several sources, positioned himself at the very top of the administration without an open conflict with the president, relying on discretion and patient strengthening of influence. He built his reputation as a politician with clear ties to the Republican establishment, including the Bush family, and as someone who knows how the apparatus of government in Washington works.

Notably, Rubio is using Trump's character weaknesses and institutional limitations to seize key levers of influence. He does not act directly, but, according to sources, uses his influence discreetly - he does not impose decisions, but skillfully directs them. 👇

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷‼️The West is entering the fatal phase of the debt supercycle‼️

July 26, 2025

Reuters warns that the world is entering the final, fatal phase of a multigenerational debt supercycle. 👇

The economies of the leading Western countries - the USA, Great Britain and France - found themselves in a position comparable to a financial pyramid, where new debts only cover old ones, and the system becomes increasingly unstable.

According to Reuters, human societies develop in waves that span generations.

The first generation creates and optimistically looks to the future. The second - he criticizes the legacy of his predecessors.

The third is facing the collapse of the old order. And only the fourth brings radical changes, destroying outdated structures and forming a new paradigm. In this context, Western democracies have apparently approached the final turn of such a historical cycle. 👇

The economic expression of this ending is the accumulation of chronic budget deficits. More and more developed economies are becoming dependent on external financing. But creditors are increasingly reluctant to lend money, long-term, forcing governments to increasingly resort to short-term borrowing and issuing new bonds to cover old debts. This model essentially turns into a shape, a financial pyramid.

Inflation only makes things worse.

Rising prices devalue currencies, undermining confidence in monetary systems. Investors lose interest in shares, which lose value. In this context, gold is once again proving its resilience: according to Reuters, during historical periods of crisis, it has outperformed bond yields by an average of 71%. 👇

🇷🇺🪖🇪🇺🇬🇧‼️Increased military preparation in Europe: Moscow warns that it is necessary to prepare for the worst‼️

July 24, 2025

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Aleksandar Grushko, stated that the countries of NATO and the European Union are "concretely preparing for a military conflict with the Russian Federation". 👇

Plans for an accelerated militarization of the West, although currently limited by the economic capabilities of the Alliance members, should not be underestimated.

Grushko emphasized that it is necessary to calmly and systematically strengthen the security capacity of the country, but also that "one should be prepared for the worst scenario".

The findings of the Roscongress Fund report entitled "Militarization of Europe: Budgets and the Geography of New Production Capacities", published yesterday, indicate an accelerated pace of construction of European defense infrastructure. 👇

According to the report, the role of the US in the European security architecture is declining, prompting the EU to rapidly develop its own military industry. Defense companies across Europe are expanding capacity, opening new production facilities and reorienting civilian factories to military production. Everything points to strategic preparation for a prolonged, intense conflict.

European manufacturers are counting on stable demand worth 800 billion euros, and the European Commission treats military spending as an urgent budget obligation. In the period 2021–2024. defense spending in the EU increased by 31% and reached 326 billion euros.

New military facilities are being opened across Europe, including countries that were previously known as neutral, such as Hungary and Slovakia. At the same time, the European military industry is trying to catch up with the volume of Russian ammunition production. 👇

🇺🇸💥🇨🇳‼️The Pentagon clearly marked the priority: the US is focusing on a new type of preparation‼️

July 24, 2025

Behind symbolic participation in crisis points such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe, American strategy is increasingly being shaped towards one main adversary. 👇

While conflicts in other regions are part of the broader security context, the focus of the US Department of Defense and the White House is China - a partner in global relations, but also an unprecedented challenge.

The question of whether there will be an open conflict remains uncertain. However, it is increasingly evident that the two great powers find no room for long-term peaceful rivalry. Although an immediate exchange of attacks is not expected, both sides are actively preparing for a scenario of more serious tensions.

According to the assessments of the US military leadership, China has made significant progress in modernizing its armed forces in recent years. The number of modern ships exceeded the American one, fifth-generation aircraft were introduced, and missile capabilities were expanded. 👇

The United States, on the other hand, is investing in new technology and adjusting the structure of the military, with the hope that the potential conflict will remain at the strategic level - without direct confrontation.

US Defense Secretary Peter Brian Hegsett said China poses a "real threat" and is preparing for the possible use of force to change relations in the Indo-Pacific region. In the Pentagon, it is considered important that China understands that it cannot achieve victory in an open conflict, which would actually prevent the outbreak of a larger conflict.

This message was the focus of an interview given to Business Insider by US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll and General James Rainey, head of the Army's Advanced Projects Command. They pointed out that the goal of the American army is to make it clear to the enemy - "they will not succeed in winning". 👇

🇺🇸🇷🇺‼️McGregor reveals: The fall of Russia was a plan - the reality surprised them‼️

July 17, 2025

When planning a major shift in global power relations, everyone looks at numbers, technology, allies. Few people count on what is not written in the reports - the internal strength of society. 👇

This is precisely the mistake made by the United States of America and its allies, according to retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor.

As a guest on Professor Glenn Dissen's "Greater Eurasia" podcast, McGregor pointed out that the social cohesion of Russia after February 2022 was the biggest surprise for the West.

"We believed that Russia would crumble under pressure. No one expected it to consolidate," he said. The entire shock of the American establishment is hidden in that sentence - instead of chaos, it was strengthened. 👇

A former Pentagon officer warns that the collective West is facing a serious period of self-examination. "The status of the US as a global power is slowly entering a phase of serious changes.

We have internal problems, we are losing unity, we are no longer the country from the time of the Cold War," he emphasizes. According to him, the next year will be a test of resilience - not for Russia, but for the West.

McGregor specifically referred to the fallacy in strategic assessments when it comes to Russia. The belief that it was a "colossus on clay feet" was present for decades. However, it turned out that this image does not reflect reality. "Russia has held together. We didn't expect that. What about us? Our degree of unity is still untested. And that's what worries me," he said. 👇

🇺🇸‼️The Vision They Didn't Heed: How Henry Kissinger's Most Dangerous Warnings Are Coming True‼️

July 16, 2025

He was a diplomat who was listened to by everyone - from Vladimir Putin to Xi Jinping. His words were analyzed in the Bundestag, the Capitol, the Kremlin, Beijing and even Tel Aviv. 👇

Henry Kissinger, a man of legendary status in world diplomacy, died in 2023 at the age of 100 – but the world is still moving along the path he outlined decades earlier. And not spontaneously, but almost precisely, as if according to plan.

In Russia, they showed him special respect. Žirnovski quoted him admiringly, and in 2013 he received an honorary doctorate from the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Vladimir Putin called him a "wise and far-sighted statesman", while Xi Jinping described him as a "world-renowned strategist and an old friend of the Chinese people". And Olaf Scholz acknowledged him - saying that he left an indelible mark on American foreign policy. 👇

Why was he so respected? He didn't guess, or make predictions based on gut feeling. He had access to the most confidential information from Washington until the last days of his life.

His analyzes were deeply rooted in reality. In the 1990s, he already warned that the 21st century would belong to Asia. At the time, such a claim seemed like a provocation - China was just entering reforms, and the USA was a lone superpower. Today we know: he was right.

The Asia-Pacific region has become the center of political tension, trade routes and a technological race. China is openly challenging America's leading position, and India has emerged as a key power factor. And that is exactly why his analyzes of the relationship between Beijing and Washington are increasingly relevant. 👇
