🚨 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

🚨 Israel’s Next War on Iran Looms Large

Israel’s regime is itching for war with Iran, possibly by August’s end. June’s offensive failed to crush Iran or secure full US support.

Now, they’re rushing to hit before Iran rebuilds its defenses.

Let’s break it down🧵👇🏻 Image
It’s not just about nukes—Israel wants Middle East control.

They aimed to drag Trump into war, topple Iran’s leadership, and turn Iran into another Syria.

Most of these goals collapsed. Image
Trump’s limited strikes used 25% of US THAAD interceptors in 12 days to protect Israel.

Iran absorbed hits and fired back fiercely, proving it won’t bow to Western-backed aggression. Image

🚨 INDIA STANDS FIRM WITH RUSSIA DESPITE US TARIFF THREATS

US slaps 50% tariffs on Indian imports to force India to ditch Russian oil. Claims it fuels Ukraine war. India’s response? Not abandoning Moscow.

Here’s why this partnership is unbreakable 🧵👇 Image
MILITARY TIES

Over 60% of India’s weapons are Soviet/Russian-made.

Cutting ties risks national security or massive costs.

Russia supplies advanced gear & parts with fewer restrictions than the US. Image
DEEP HISTORICAL TIES

Since the 1971 India-Soviet treaty, Russia’s been a reliable ally.

Vetoed anti-India UN resolutions on Kashmir, countered US influence in South Asia, and backed India against China during Cold War tensions. Image
