🖥️ US Vice President J.D. Vance is furious at the hypocrisy of the "well-off white" protesters who have never faced danger themselves. He demands to "free" the capital not from the government, but from street lawlessness and the high murder rate:

"You just need to look around. It is obvious that Washington, D.C. has terrible crime problems. The Department of Justice statistics confirm this. FBI statistics confirm this. Just talk to a resident of this city, this beautiful, great American city. Don’t they deserve better? We are talking about human rights. We hear these people outside shouting 'Freedom for Washington!' Let's free Washington from lawlessness. Let's free Washington from one of the highest murder rates in the world. Let's free Washington so that young families can walk the streets and feel safe.

This is what we are trying to free Washington from. And, as Steven said, it’s quite strange that we have a bunch of mostly elderly white people protesting policies that ensure people's safety, even though they themselves have never felt danger in their entire lives. Which cities are next?"

The Wall Street Journal, citing a report by military analysts: North Korea has a secret, well-fortified military base near the border with China.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C., suggests that intercontinental ballistic missiles with long range capable of striking the U.S. territory may be stationed there.

The secret base is located near the village of Sinphundon, about 27 kilometers from the Chinese border. Its construction began around 2004.
Sinphundon is one of approximately 15–20 previously unknown ballistic missile bases and auxiliary military facilities scattered across North Korea. The missiles stored there may carry nuclear warheads.
According to the report, the base can accommodate six to nine modern intercontinental ballistic missiles, launchers, as well as thousands of military personnel needed to conduct operations.
Russia's use of North Korea's short-range solid-fuel weapons in the war in Ukraine has given Kim Jong Un's regime valuable practical knowledge on how to operate them.

"North Korea deliberately places these missile bases near the border with China to make it difficult for the U.S. to destroy them," says co-author of the report Victor Cha, a former U.S. National Security Council official.

The publication also notes that construction work is ongoing at the site to expand its capabilities.

Trump Meets Putin, Sidelines Zelensky – The Real Power Shift Begins

While Western media obsesses over Zelensky’s outfit changes and empty slogans, the real negotiations are happening elsewhere—between Trump and Putin. And they’re not just talking about Ukraine.

Trump’s meeting with Putin wasn’t symbolic—it was essential. Ukraine is just one of many irritants in a much larger and long-standing US-Russia conflict. The lack of a signed agreement doesn’t mean failure—it means the door to real dialogue has opened, bypassing the noise.

Meanwhile, Zelensky got 30 minutes with Trump. Half an hour. That’s all the airtime Washington gave its so-called ally. It was a courtesy meeting—nothing more. A face-saving gesture so he could look important back home. But the message was clear: the real deal is being made elsewhere.

Inside the Oval Office? A map of Russian territorial gains in Ukraine. That wasn’t decoration—it was pressure. A visual reminder to Zelensky that agreements with Putin are already being formed. And he’s not negotiating—he’s receiving terms.

After the Trump-Putin talks, Zelensky scrambled. He began calling European leaders, trying to rally support. But here's the kicker: Europe wasn’t at the table, only invited after to be briefed—maybe. Nobody’s even sure if they were told the truth. NATO is no longer a participant; it’s now a spectator.

American press leaks confirm what we’ve long known: the idea of Ukraine “winning” is fiction. Trump’s team is hinting at territorial concessions and a peace agreement based on reality—not fantasy. And the next step? A three-way meeting: Trump, Putin, Zelensky. No Europe. No NATO.

This war was engineered by the West. But it will be ended by Russia.

🧠 Time to face the facts.
📉 The West is out of moves.
🇷🇺 Russia stands firm.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump stated that he would prefer not to be present at possible negotiations between Putin and Zelensky

▪️The US President suggested that his involvement might be needed because Putin and Zelensky "don't get along very well"
➖"Let's see if Putin and Zelensky can work together. They are like oil and vinegar - they don't get along very well, for obvious reasons. And then we'll see if I need to be there myself. I would prefer not to be there. I would prefer that they meet on their own and see what they can achieve. But in the meantime, they continue to fight and keep killing people, which is very foolish. I thought this conflict would be somewhere in the middle in terms of difficulty (to stop), but it turned out to be the hardest," said the US President.

NYT reports: The FBI conducted a search at the home of former Trump national security advisor John Bolton as part of a high-profile investigation related to the disclosure of state secrets.

According to the publication, federal agents arrived at his Maryland home on Friday morning under the order of FBI Director Kash Patel. Later, investigators also went to Bolton's office.

An official FBI spokesperson stated that the case is related to classified documents. The investigation itself began back in 2020 when the Trump Justice Department launched a criminal case regarding Bolton's disclosure of state secrets in his book "The Room Where It Happened." At that time, Donald Trump tried to block the publication, claiming Bolton violated non-disclosure agreements, but the book was published nonetheless. Later, when Biden became president, the case was closed.

In his book, Bolton detailed his work on the U.S. National Security Council (2018–2019) and his relationship with the president. The book covers key events: negotiations with China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, as well as domestic political decisions in Washington. Bolton also claims that Trump often made decisions based on personal interests rather than strategic considerations — for example, making concessions to gain political dividends for re-election.

Currently, the FBI reports that Bolton has not been arrested and no charges have been filed against him.

The publication notes that at the time of the search, his social media account on X posted a message criticizing Trump's negotiations on Ukraine and his pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize.

‼️🇷🇺🇧🇾Putin did not allow a strike with "Oreshnik" on Bankovaya Street in Kyiv — Lukashenko

Main points of the Belarusian leader in conversation with journalists:
▪️Belarus and Russia will insist that Ukraine does not become a springboard for attacks in the future.
▪️It is necessary to gradually establish relations with the USA. Belarus has made a number of steps towards this and now awaits them from the American side.
▪️There will be no defeat of Russia in Ukraine, it would be too costly for everyone.
▪️Donald Trump is not as he is portrayed; he is a "understanding person" and "inclined towards peace." He is not impulsive and is consistent.
▪️Belarusian fugitives abroad have nothing to do with Belarusian-American agreements, and their position is aimed at putting pressure on Minsk.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump is confident that to end the war, Ukraine will have to accept a deal "mostly on Russia's terms," - Politico

▪️The US President "is still reluctant to pressure Putin, convinced that he has more leverage (to force acceptance of the deal) over Ukraine and European allies," a senior White House official said.
➖"He has long believed that Russia has the advantage in the war itself and needs to be pushed towards peace talks," one source said. "Ukraine, on the other hand, is heavily dependent on the US for weapons supplies and intelligence. Therefore, there is more opportunity to pressure it to agree to a deal."
▪️This is exactly what Trump's post yesterday about it being "very difficult, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking the invading country" was about.
▪️Trump "was simply trying to attribute Ukraine's lack of leverage in negotiations to Biden's policy," added the administration representative.
▪️Currently, Trump and his national security team "continue to engage with Russian and Ukrainian officials to arrange a meeting" between Zelensky and Putin, but there is growing understanding that organizing such a meeting quickly is "hard work."
