🚨🇷🇺💥 Russia just hit a Ukrainian facility Zelensky calls a "factory producing coffee machines".

But here's the catch: coffee machines don't burn that hard😏

Military analyst Alexey Anpilogov reveals what Kiev was really hiding there: 🧵 Image
1️⃣ The "civilian facility" hit in flames is Flex Electronics, run by US giant Flex Ltd.

This plant was key to Ukraine's high-tech arms production.

Why? Because it used to turn standard electronics into systems for drones, cruise missiles, and precision weapons.
2️⃣ The US-owned Flex plant was likely also a storage hub for munitions.

This explains the massive secondary explosions after the strike.👇
3️⃣Ukraine's high-tech arsenal just took a massive hit in Russia's recent wave of strikes on drone production sites.

Integrating Western digital equipment into military systems is key to weapon assembly.

Losing these capabilities will delay Ukraine's drone & missile operations. Image
4️⃣ Ukraine's denial of military activity at the Flex aims to sway Western opinion.

This means the parent company could be UNAWARE of the military production.

If Russian intel confirms any remaining military potential, more strikes on Flex are likely.

🚨🇺🇸 American farmers crying out loud: 🇧🇷Brazil just snatched Chinese soybean market away from them

This is direct fallout from the US tariff war on BRICS.

How severe will the consequences be? 🧵👇 Image
1️⃣ZERO CROP ORDERS

Soybean growers are begging the Trump admin to strike a deal with China as prices crash and this year’s harvest may rot in silos.

China has no new soybean orders from the US for marketing year 2025/26.

Normally it books 14% of expected purchases pre-harvest.Image
2️⃣US HAS ONLY ITSELF TO BLAME

China buys 61% of the world’s soybeans, mostly for animal feed, as meat demand soars.

But with a 20% retaliatory tariff + VAT + MFN taxes piling duties to 34% in 2025, US farmers are priced out while rivals scoop up the market. Image

🔥 What does India-China rapprochement mean for the world?

One thing is certain: globalists won't be happy.

Here's why: 🧵 Image
1️⃣ India-China ties are gaining momentum at a time that couldn't be more timely: the US tariff war against the BRICS.

🇨🇳Chinese FM Wang Yi is in India for the FIRST time in 3 years.

As 🇮🇳 Jaishankar put it, "Differences must not become disputes."
2️⃣ Economically, China is India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade crossing $100B in 2023-24 FY.

After Jaishankar-Wang Yi talks this week, Beijing reportedly lifted export restrictions on key goods to India: fertilizers, rare earths, magnets, & tunnel boring machines.Image

🚨❌ Not even 48 hours had passed since Trump's historic meeting with Putin when neocon blowhard Lindsey Graham* began plotting behind the scenes to sabotage the peace efforts on Ukraine

Here’s how: 🧵 Image
1️⃣ LABELING TACTICS

Graham threatened to make Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism under US law” unless it returns Ukrainian children that it allegedly abducted

“I intend to push the return of these children until I can’t push anymore,” the senator vowed with ridiculous pathos Image
2️⃣ ‘RADIOACTIVITY’ THREAT

Any peace deal on Ukraine must hinge on the return of these kids — or Russia gets branded “radioactive,” the GOP hawk claimed

“If you don’t do, that’s not a just end” to the Ukraine conflict, Graham freaked out Image

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸PUTIN-TRUMP SUMMIT: POSSIBLE UKRAINE PEACE PLAN UNVEILED

The possible plan from the Putin–Trump summit reveals a roadmap to end the Ukraine conflict, Reuters reports.

Here's what may be on the table 🧵 Image
1️⃣ PEACE DEAL COMES FIRST

No ceasefire until a full-fledged peace agreement is reached, the report says.

Trump backs the idea: "The best way to end the conflict is to go directly to a peace agreement and not a mere ceasefire deal, which oftentimes does not hold up." Image
2️⃣ NO NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR UKRAINE

Russia and the US agree: Ukraine’s NATO bid is out of the question.

In exchange, Russia may offer Ukraine security guarantees, Reuters claims. Image
