🇺🇸 US 'laying groundwork for defeats' in 'two wars of choice, against Russia & China'
The argument that US establishment politicians make is that “if the US does not defend Ukraine, China will invade Taiwan,” a report by US media said, adding that this argument was flawed.
💬 “If China does make a move on Taiwan in the next few years, stockpiles already reduced by Ukrainian aid will make aiding Taiwan more difficult and expensive if policy makers decide to do so. The foreign policy establishment that lost in Iraq and Afghanistan is laying the groundwork for defeats in two more wars of choice, against Russia and China—both nuclear powers, putting human civilization on the line,” underscored the media outlet.

🇷🇺 Western countries supporting Ukraine crisis should be treated as Nazi collaborators, Medvedev says
The Kiev regime’s rhetoric about “persecuting all Russians,” regardless of where they come from, has “existed before somewhere,” Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said, hinting at the Nazi persecution of the Soviet people during the WWII.
“Banderite Ukraine is supported by almost all bosses of Western countries. Therefore Biden, Trudeau, Sunak, Scholz, Macron, Meloni,” as well as the leaders of Poland, the Scandinavian countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Baltic states are direct and obvious accomplices of the Nazis and should be treated like a Nazi coalition, Medvedev said.
💬 “We shouldn’t indulge ourselves in sweet dreams of how we will once again reconcile and live as a big polyamorous family with non-binary genders.”

🇨🇳🇯🇵 Japan forced to shell out extra $137mln to fishermen amid China's seafood import ban over Fukushima water release
The new measures will aim to mitigate the damage from the ban, mainly the purchase and storage of scallop, the fishery of which is particularly dependent on exports to China, Japanese media reported.

🪖 Why Abrams armor won’t be able to jumpstart Ukraine’s stalled offensive
David T. Pyne, a former US Army combat arms and HQ staff officer with personal experience with Abrams tanks, expressed pessimism about the impact their deployment will have in Ukraine.
💬 "As a former US M-1 A1 tank officer, I can tell you that Abrams tanks, which weigh 20-30 tons more than modern Russian tanks, are quite susceptible to getting stuck in the mud so they will not be able to engage effectively in offensive operations during the fall rasputitsa [Russian term for 'mud season', ed.]. I don’t think the Pentagon feels the need to test these tanks in difficult weather conditions and since they are less capable than US Army Abrams tanks, I do not think they expect them to be game changers in the war in Ukraine," Pyne told Sputnik

🗣️ On what the modern Western liberal civilization is headed for:
“If we consider, for example, a futuristic vision in the cinema and the art made by the West, by the liberal West… everything is a 'Mad Max', everything is Armageddon, everything is an atomic catastrophe, or atmospheric catastrophe, or ecological catastrophe. So there is no other possible vision of the future in the modern Western liberal civilization outside of the global decay. So that is a kind of revelation of inner void of the liberalism,”Alexander Dugin, one of the world’s most famous political philosophers, told Sputnik.

🇷🇺🇧🇷 Sanctions clapback: Russian grain exports to Brazil hit historic high
Russia, for the first time ever, has become one of the top five sources of grain for Brazil, data released by the country’s official statistical agency shows. Figures show that between January and July 2023, Brazil imported 380,000 tons of wheat and meslin (a rye/wheat mixture) from Russia worth roughly $108.5 million.
The purchases were enough to put Russia on the map as the fourth-largest source of grain for Brazil overall, behind only Argentina (about 2 million tons worth $736.3 million), Paraguay (886,000 tons worth $290 million), and Uruguay (544,000 tons for $211 million). The United States rounded out the top five, selling roughly 80,000 tons of grain, worth $20.85 million, to its Western Hemisphere neighbor.

🇺🇸 GOP 2024 hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy slams US neocons ‘marching us into WWIII’
💬 “I believe in asserting American interests, but only where it advances the US interest. I’m very different from other candidates who would sooner send troops to defend invasion across somebody else’s border than the invasion on our own southern border in this country,” Ramaswamy said on the show America Reports.
The novice candidate added that, “foreign policy distinguishes me from the Karl Rove, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie wing – and I think that debate is good for our party.”

🇺🇸🦠 Surging cases of flesh-eating bacteria spook US
Vibrio bacteria species that inhabit warm coastal waters cause close to 80,000 illnesses annually across the US, according to the The Health Advisory issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But it is the one particular species, V. vulnificus, that is fraught with life-threatening infection. Although a majority of people suffer from it after eating raw or undercooked shellfish, particularly oysters, some get infected when an open wound is exposed to salt water.
The bacteria causes sepsis, serious wound infections and gastroenteritis. Diarrhea, stomach cramping, vomiting and fever, are some of the symptoms of a Vibrio vulnificus infection, according to the CDC. If untreated, it may result in death. Research shows that the disease resulting from the bacterial infection is fatal in one in five people who fall victim to it. Several fatal cases of the disease have been registered in Florida, US, this year.

🇫🇷🇱🇾 Ex-Italian PM: France likely downed passenger plane trying to kill Libya's Gaddafi
"A plan had been launched to hit the plane on which Gaddafi was flying," former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato said, referring to reports of a dogfight taking place in the area between French and Libyan jets on June 27, 1980, the day of the crash of Itavia Flight 870, in which all 81 passengers and crew onboard were killed, and rumors that Gaddafi was aboard one of the Libyan Air Force MiG jets.
The plan was to "simulate NATO drills involving many aircraft" during which a missile would have been fired - passed off as an accident - at the plane carrying Gaddafi, Amato said. However, Gaddafi got a warning from then-Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, Amato's former rival, and never boarded the jet, with the French missile allegedly intended for him ending up hitting the Itavia plane instead.

🇵🇱 Poland's largest facility for Ukrainian refugees has been closed due to a decrease in the number of refugees arriving in the country, a Polish broadcaster reported. Several hundred refugees remaining in the center learned that it would be closed just a few hours before the closure, the report specified.
The United Nations Refugee Agency's estimate is that 968,390 Ukrainian refugees are currently living in Poland. As of March, the Polish authorities have decided that refugees who stay in Poland for more than 180 days must cover 75% of the cost of their housing.
