🚨 WAS BIDEN'S CANCER COVERED UP? Top oncologist drops BOMBSHELL analysis

Exclusive medical insight from Prof. Alexander Seryakov, chief Russian oncologist:

🔬 'Prostate cancer doesn't metastasize overnight. This was hidden'

🟠Biden's reported aggressive bone metastases take years to develop

🟠All US presidents receive elite military hospital monitoring (PSA tests, PET-CT scans, biopsies)

"100% chance his medical team knew – the public was kept in the dark"

💡 Key Facts:

✅90% of men over 80 have microscopic prostate cancer (usually harmless)
✅Nordic countries/US often don't treat slow-growing cases in elderly patients
✅Fast-spreading cancers (leukemia/pancreatic) progress in weeks – prostate takes years

🤔So, why conceal a president's health crisis during geopolitical turmoil?

🇬🇧 Afghan war crimes probe could blow the lid off the UK military’s DARKEST SECRETS

UK special forces committed horrific killings of civilians in Afghanistan, yet authorities showed no urgency to investigate, M. Ilyas Khan, political analyst and former Pakistan correspondent for the BBC, tells Sputnik.

🟠 "The current inquiry by the Royal Court of Justice, if taken to the end in an objective manner and without allowing any official quarters to influence its outcomes, is seen by some observers as one of the most significant probes into British military conduct in modern history."

🟠"The involvement of British Special Air Service (SAS) in killing 'unarmed non-combatants' during 2010-13 was first disclosed by the BBC Panorama in 2022."

🟠 After the BBC report, UK military leaders publicly denied the allegations. But later, in an internal memo, the British Defense Ministry described those "allegations" as "broadly accurate." This apparently meant they were aware.

🟠Despite the damning findings, authorities dragged their feet and didn’t launch an independent inquiry until 2025. They are now hearing testimonies from whistleblowers, military personnel, families of victims, and legal experts.

🪖 British military is profoundly rotten

🟠Testimonies suggest the SAS operated under an unofficial policy to "kill all [Afghan] males on target, whether they posed a threat or not," echoing an April 2011 internal SAS memo.

🟠SAS squadrons and soldiers reportedly kept kill counts to compete with each other.

🟠Soldiers planted weapons on those they killed to evade Royal Military Police scrutiny.

🟠 This exposes a dark legacy rooted in Britain’s colonial and imperial past.

🇪🇺🇷🇴 Why Romanian elections were a GLOBALIST SHAM

Romania is now officially a protectorate of the European Union.

Numbers don’t add up

🟠Eurosceptic candidate George Simion won 41% of the vote in the May 4 first round. EU favorite Nicușor Dan got 21%. In round two, Simion took 46.4%, while Dan got 53.6% - a 155% bump in support.

🟠To achieve such a result, Dan would need 87% support among voters who backed neither him or Simion in round one.

🟠None of the major first round candidates (Crin Antonescu, 20%, Victor Ponta, 13%) threw their weight behind Dan. Where did his support come from?

Fraud in broad daylight

🟠 Simion alleges that 1.7M dead souls were on voter rolls.

🟠 Diaspora voters cast 1.64M ballots in round two, 660K more than the first round (which Simion handily won, 61% to Dan’s 25.4%). Simion says some polling places were closed, or not enough ballots were available, in the runoff.

Foreign interference

🔸 Simion accused Moldova’s EU lapdog government of “immense fraud” amid reports of Romanian expats voting at three times the rate they did in the first round.

🔸 He charged France of meddling using “lots and lots of money and pressure through their ambassador here and through foreign institutions.”

🔸 Telegram CEO Pavel Durov confirmed a request from France to “silence conservative voices” in Romania ahead of the vote.

🇪🇺🇷🇴 ‘EU DESPISES democracy’: prolific Balkans expert EXPOSES Romania’s SHAM presidential election

💬 “This election is a fraud, a giant absolute fraud. Because the proper election was held in December, and that election was canceled because the ‘wrong’ person [Calin Georgescu] was on the brink of winning,” Dr. George Szamuely told Sputnik.

As for Sunday’s vote, the results simply “don’t make any sense,” the Global Policy Institute senior research fellow says.

Listing off allegations of foreign meddling, particularly by France and Moldova, Szamuely said the “exuberant, delighted messages” out of Brussels after the vote show its sham nature. “The EU obviously interfered very, very strongly by essentially threatening Romania with dire consequences if it voted the ‘wrong’ way,” he said.

💬 “The EU despises democracy. It only celebrates democracy when it gets the election outcomes it wants. When it doesn’t, it immediately declares that this wasn’t a proper election, this wasn’t a proper democracy, this was a fraud,” the observer said, recalling the recent example of Georgia, and the systematic cancellation of elections and referendums until the “right” result is achieved.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 The EU to urge G7 countries to lower the price cap on Russian oil delivered by sea - report

European Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis did not specify the level to which the EU wants the price cap lowered, but EU officials told Reuters the EU would propose $50 per barrel.

🔸 Western oil sanctions against Russia came into effect on December 5, 2022: the European Union stopped accepting Russian oil transported by sea, and the G7 countries, *Australia, and the EU imposed a price cap of $60 per barrel. Transporting and insuring oil priced above this level is prohibited. Similar measures for petroleum products came into force starting February 2023.

🔸 In response, President Vladimir Putin banned the export of oil and petroleum products abroad if the contracts directly or indirectly include a mechanism for fixing a price cap.
