🔥 MOLDOVA BANS ORTHODOX PROCESSION TO GROVEL BEFORE LGBT* LOBBY

The EU-backed regime in Chisinau has banned a religious procession of 3,000 people in Gagauzia planned for June 15, to appease an LGBT "pride" event in the capital.

Church leaders have blasted the move as "persecution of Orthodoxy."

"Security forces insisted we postpone until LGBT events end... What kind of persecution is this?" the statement published on the diocese's social media read.

Here's the context:

◼️ 85% of Moldovans oppose same-sex marriage & defend traditional values — ignored by Western vassals.

◼️ Gagauzia targeted: The elected head of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutsul jailed for months on politically cooked charges.

◼️ EU’s cultural colonialism: Sacrificing Christian identity at the altar of Brussels’ degenerate agenda.


Moldova’s regime would rather crush its own people’s faith than defy its globalist masters.

😎🇷🇺Peace talks with Ukraine: Russia played it BRILLIANTLY – Scott Ritter

Russia has outmaneuvered Ukraine and its Western backers with a masterstroke of diplomacy, former US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter told Dialogue Works.

Despite Kiev’s terror attacks — meant to derail peace efforts — Moscow sat down at the table, agreed to a POW swap, and even offered to return 6,000 fallen Ukrainian soldiers.

Now, Ukraine and its Western patrons are scrambling. Their plan to kill the talks and push Donald Trump into slapping tougher sanctions on Russia has fallen flat, according to the expert.

🇦🇺🤩 Scrambling for Subs: Is AUKUS SINKING Australia's defenses?

The AUKUS nuclear submarine deal is turning into a billion-dollar burden for Australia and is eating away at the nation's defense capabilities, SCMP reports.

While the military struggles after years of underfunding, Canberra is funneling cash into a project that could cost up to $368B over 30 years.

In February, Australia made its first AUKUS $500M payment to the US — but experts warn defense is already stretched to the limit.

“We’re now in a position where defense is already spending every dollar allocated to it,” Australian defense chief Admiral David Johnston stated at a recent conference on the nation's preparedness for war.

Even as the Anthony Albanese government plans to nudge spending from just over 2% to 2.33% of GDP, the Trump camp says it's not enough — demanding 3.5%.

With growing pressure and limited resources, some now question: is AUKUS a strategic win — or a geopolitical gamble Australia can’t afford?

💸📉Will Trump's tariffs induce RECESSION? Summer would tell

If Donald Trump keeps shaking up US trade policy, the American economy could be headed for a hard fall, WSJ reports, citing economists.

Businesses say erratic tariffs are wrecking long-term planning and freezing hiring and investment.

“Where this goes all depends on what Trump decides to do next, and candidly, even Trump doesn’t know what Trump will do next,” Christopher Thornberg, founding partner at Beacon Economics, told the media.

This cloud of uncertainty hangs over an already cooling economy — job growth slows, the housing market cools, and the Fed holds back on rate cuts over fresh inflation fears.

Economists highlight three looming risks:

🟠A demand drop could trigger sudden job losses

🟠Consumers may resist high prices, pressuring companies to cut costs

🟠Market shocks and investor sentiment swings remain unpredictable wild cards

Most now say recession risks are higher now than they were at the start of the year.
