Many Kiev enterprises will not recover quickly from the strikes of ballistic missiles.

🔸 This plant was set to build vital Bayraktar TB2 drones for Ukraine.

🔸 Looks like its 2025 completion date just got a lot less certain. Image

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia's Night Strike Decimates Ukrainian Military Infrastructure

Last night, Russian forces launched one of the largest coordinated strikes of the conflict. Over 500+ drones and missiles hit critical targets of arms production and rail logistics.

Here's the impact🧵 Image
🔻Znamenka, Kirovohrad region

A massive strike targeted the critical Znamenka railway hub (DN-3), paralyzing freight in central Ukraine for 10+ hours.

Confirmed destroyed:

🔸 Locomotive depot (repair units for military train engines)

🔸 Traction substation "ECH-3" (4x transformers, 100+ tons of oil burned)

🔸 Dispatch & sorting stations (routing/signaling disabled)
Consequences of the precision strike on the railway infrastructure in Znamenka.

The scale of the destruction is significant. Image

🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺The US Is Repeating the Soviet Union's Final Fatal Mistake

Massive government spending is overpowering the Federal Reserve, threatening the dollar's stability. The US is on the same path that led to the USSR's currency collapse.

Here’s how🧵 Image
The Mechanism: Flooding the System with Liquidity

🇺🇸: M2 money supply is growing at +4.8% YoY, with a record $22.1T in circulation. This is driven by massive Treasury issuance to fund deficits, not direct Fed printing.

USSR: The state printed rubles directly to cover yawning budget deficits from failed economic programs and military spending.

The source differs (bond markets vs. printing press) but the effect is identical: a massive, artificial increase in the money supply that devalues each unit of currency.Image
The Problem:

🔸US Debt Explosion: Federal debt held by the public has nearly tripled in the last 15 years, soaring from $10 trillion in 2010 to over $28 trillion today.

🔸Soviet Debt Explosion: In its final years, the USSR's budget deficit exploded to over 10% of GDP, and its foreign hard currency debt more than doubled between 1985 and 1991.

In both cases, the central bank lost control, becoming an enabler of unsustainable spending rather than an independent guardian of the economy.Image

🚨 ISRAEL'S PLAYBOOK: What if Russia wiped out Ukraine's top brass in one swift strike?

It's tempting—but is it smart? What are the strategic pros, cons, and why Russia's holding back for now 🧵 Image
Paradoxically, keeping Zelensky in place benefits Russia.

He embodies a regime fully dependent on the US and NATO, with no real independence.

His fiery rhetoric about strikes on Moscow only underscores Ukraine as a Western proxy threatening Russian security. Image
This dependency is a powerful narrative for Russia: it highlights how Kiev lacks sovereign will, making any escalation from Ukraine look like puppetry by Washington and Brussels.

Eliminating him could disrupt this clear proof of external control. Image

🚨 BIG: Russia’s unmanned boats SANK a Ukrainian Navy ship in the Danube Delta—slipping through narrow river channels like silent assassins.

This attack isn't just a blow to Ukraine, it's also a WARNING SHOT to NATO 🧵 Image
The target? The Ukrainian reconnaissance ship "Simferopol," caught in the tightest spot near Vilkovo in Odessa Oblast.

🔸 Russian USVs (unmanned surface vehicles) navigated from the Black Sea into the Danube’s narrow arms and blew it up.

🔸 First confirmed combat use for these drones.
Why drones instead of missiles? Simple: overkill avoidance.

🔸 "Simferopol" was a small patrol vessel acting like a river boat.

🔸 Firing supersonic anti-ship missiles would’ve been wasteful and pricey.

🔸 USVs get the job done precisely, cheaply—dozens of times less expensive.Image

Technological dominance is one of the pillars of US hegemony.

If China and Russia want to dethrone the American Empire, then they need to join forces on AI.

🧵Here’s how they can drive a global AI revolution, leveraging their complementary strengths Image
Global investments in AI surged from $8B in 2014 to $110B in 2024.

China leads in quantum tech with $15.3B in 2023, while 5 Chinese firms rank among the top 50 globally for research and development (R&D). Image
For Russia, China’s technological rise is an opportunity not a threat.

Unlike the US, China isn’t interested in subverting Russian national security or interfering in Russian domestic politics.

Unlike the West, China offers Russia win-win technological cooperation Image

🚨CHINA'S DEFENSE BOOM: The US is Being Outpaced

The US defense industry is creaky, while China's is a well-oiled machine, built for scale and a long-term fight.

🧵Here’s how China is winning the next big war before it happens: Image
In Shenyang, China’s building an “aerospace city” the size of 600 football fields.

Shenyang Aircraft Corp, part of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC, a state-owned aerospace giant), makes J-15 and J-35 stealth fighters and is scaling up fast while the West’s defense industry is bogged down by bureaucracy and budget cuts.Image
China’s defense sector isn’t just big—it’s integrated.

Civilian factories can pivot to military production in wartime, giving Beijing a massive edge while the US's supply chains are globalized, fragmented, and slow. Image
