🚨🇺🇸 The US miscalculated. Badly.

By demanding submission, it only pushed 🇮🇳India closer to 🇷🇺Russia & 🇨🇳China.

Here’s why Modi won’t be bossed around by Washington: 🧵 Image
1️⃣ Western THEATRICS try to sell India on the “old world order” as better than building a new one where all are treated as equals, not ASSETS, believes London-based analyst Adriel Kasonta.

They miss on the fact that PM Modi puts vital national interests first (=access to affordable energy).Image
2️⃣ India is keen to explore its Asian identity — especially with the 21st century set to be Asia’s.

India’s EAM Jaishankar told this long before: “Asian century” cannot happen if India and China don’t join hands.

🚨🇷🇺 RUSSIAN DRONES SEND STRONG MESSAGE TO UKRAINE AND NATO

Using unmanned surface vessels (USVs), Russia sank the Ukrainian surveillance ship Simferopol in the Danube delta—raising the question: why drones instead of missiles? 🧵👇 The images are AI-generated
1️⃣ NEW DRONES

Russia demonstrated it can destroy enemy ships in coastal zones protected by air and ground defense systems, military expert and historian of air defense forces Yuriy Knutov tells Sputnik.

New USVs equal or exceed NATO’s military capabilities Image
2️⃣ QUICK AND LETHAL

The USVs had to pass through a mined area, but the boats have a shallow draught so the mines did not affect them.

The boats succeeded in moving unnoticed.

🚨EXPOSED: THESE DIVERS ALLEGEDLY WERE BEHING NORD STREAM SABOTAGE

The Ukrainian diver who allegedly destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline got some specific training just a few months before the attack.

Details in 🧵👇🏻 Image
1️⃣ FEMALE SABOTEUR

This is Valeria Chernishova, or 'Valeriya T.', as  Die Zeit previously reported.

She's a Ukrainian scuba diver and diving teacher famous for record-breaking deep-sea dives.

She also has several international certificates for high-qualified professionals. Image

2️⃣SURPISING LINK

The thing is, 3 years ago, close to the time of the Nord Stream sabotage, a Belgian diver Olivier Bertieaux, shared Chernishova's photo on his social media.

Later, he deleted it from his updates, but was able to do nothing with the remaining digital footprint. 

That's not just a coincidence.Image
