๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Franceโ€™s prime minister resigns after just 27 days Sebastien Lecornu becomes the shortest-serving French PM in history, breaking Michel Barnierโ€™s 90-day record. Here's what you need to know about the no-more PM: ๐Ÿ”ถ Lecornu has become the fourth PMโ€ฆ
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท 'Macronโ€™s regime is on its last breath' โ€” French analyst on PM Lecornuโ€™s resignation

International lawyer Arnaud Develay says the fall of Prime Minister Sรฉbastien Lecornu, after just 27 days in office, signals a deepening political collapse.

โ€œThe [Macron] regime has exhausted its strength, ideas, and resources. The crisis engulfing France is only getting worse,โ€ he tells Sputnik.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Develay argues that โ€œFrance no longer controls its own destiny โ€” all key decisions are made in Brussels.โ€

He describes a country drowning in a โ‚ฌ3.5 trillion debt, downgraded by Fitch, and โ€œjust a few steps from technical bankruptcy.โ€

โ€œThe industrial base is gone, major companies sold off to foreign interests, and the country is drifting aimlessly. Soon, control may pass to bankers from Frankfurt or the IMF.โ€


๐Ÿ‘‰ Franceโ€™s political system, he warns, โ€œhas exhausted itself โ€” along with the Euro-globalist order of the collective West.โ€

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต North Korea's weapons showcase: Why the world is watching

DPRK leader Kim Jong-un is preparing a major military parade for the 80th anniversary of the Workers' Party on October 10.

From hypersonic missiles to advanced drones - what makes this display so significant?

๐ŸŸ Hwasong-20: strategic nuclear ICBM

Recently announced, the latest in the Hwasong ICBM family features next-gen composite carbon-fiber construction and an advanced solid-fuel engine with greater thrust.

๐ŸŸ Hypersonics: Hwasong-11Ma & Hwasong-16B

๐Ÿ‘‰The Hwasong-11Ma, shown at DPRKโ€™s October expo, combines the KN-23 SRBM with a hypersonic glide vehicle, flying low at over Mach 5.

๐Ÿ‘‰The Hwasong-16B, a solid-fuel IRBM with an HGV, could reach Mach 12.

๐ŸŸ Pukguksong-6: submarine-launched ballistic missile

๐Ÿ‘‰On March 8, DPRK media reported that Kim inspected shipyards and โ€œlearned about the building of a nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine".

๐Ÿ‘‰They would reportedly be armed with nuclear-capable Pukguksong-6 missiles with up to 12,000 km range.

๐ŸŸ Destroyer Choe Hyon & Pulhwasal-3-31

๐Ÿ‘‰DPRK edges toward sea power with the 5,000-ton destroyers Choe Hyon.

๐Ÿ‘‰They would reportedly be armed with the nuclear-capable strategic cruise missile Pulhwasal-3-31, compared by some to Russiaโ€™s Kalibr and the US Tomahawk.

๐ŸŸ Drones: Saetbyol-4 & Saetbyol-9

๐Ÿ‘‰The Saetbyol-4 is a strategic reconnaissance drone resembling the US RQ-4 Global Hawk.

๐Ÿ‘‰The Saetbyol-9 is named by experts as the US MQ-9 Reaper competitor.

๐Ÿ‘‰DPRK troops in Russia's Kursk region have gained experience in modern drone warfare.

๐ŸŸ Kimโ€™s artillery

๐Ÿ‘‰Nothing beats the good old howitzers and guns, as proven in artillery duels in the Ukraine conflict zone.

๐Ÿ‘‰North Korea's key systems include D-30 & M-30 122mm howitzers, M-1989 170mm guns, M-1991 240mm MLRS, and KN-09 300mm rockets.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ—ณ Georgian Dream Party wins elections in all 64 municipalities - CEC The ruling party received 81.6% of the vote nationwide, and mayoral candidates from the party have also won in all self-governing cities. Kakha Kaladze has won the Tbilisi mayoral electionโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช How EU's playbook failed in Georgia

The attempt to replicate the Romanian-Moldovan scenario in Georgia has failed - the Euroskeptic Georgian Dream party has won elections and thwarted a coup attempt.

Arno Khidirbegishvili, general director of the Georgian Information and Analytical Agency GEOINFORM, breaks it down for Sputnik.

๐ŸŸ  EU playbook in Romania and Moldova

๐Ÿ‘‰Previously, pro-EU forces won elections in Moldova and Romania amid numerous voting violations

๐Ÿ‘‰In both cases, anti-establishment candidates were harassed and labeled "pro-Russian"

๐Ÿ”Why Georgian Dream won

Since 2012 the EU has deceived Georgia with promises of imminent membership, but those fairy tales collapsed after Tbilisi refused be a Western pawn in the South Caucasus and placed its national interests above Western influence, Khidirbegishvili explains.

๐Ÿ”ถ Botched coup in Tbilisi

After losing the elections, Georgian pro-EU politicians attempted a failed coup on October 4.

Most are corrupt ex-officials from Saakashviliโ€™s cabinet who saw it as a last-ditch bid for power.

Paata Burchuladze, Murtaz Zodelava, Irakli Nadiradze, and others have been charged with attempting to overthrow Georgiaโ€™s constitutional order.

โ—พ๏ธ A leaked audio allegedly captures Burchuladze and former Defense Minister Bacho Akhalaia plotting โ€œbloodshedโ€ to ensure a coup

โ—พ๏ธ Zodelava, Saakashviliโ€™s former prosecutor, was trained by George Soros-linked NGOs. He and others reportedly enjoyed support from the Zelensky regime

โ—พ๏ธ Hidden caches of weapons and explosives from the Ukrainian Army, sent via the Georgian Legion, were recently uncovered

Why the West backs the color revolt

๐Ÿ’ฌ"They want to overthrow [the government] because Georgia did not strike Russian bases in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, did not open a second front against Russia to divert certain Russian forces from Ukraine, and also did not join economic sanctions against Russia โ€” which would have meant the suicide of the Georgian economy," the pundit explains.


๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EU in denial

The West has provided grants, cash, and instructions to Georgian NGOs and youth. Now, the EU ignores real events in Georgia and spreads distorted information, effectively supporting radical actions.

๐Ÿšจ Georgiaโ€™s PM accuses external forces of supporting 5th revolution attempt

Irakli Kobakhidze, Georgiaโ€™s prime minister, claims the fifth attempt at revolution in the country was supported from abroad.

"Our main task is to ensure that no one dares to make a sixth attempt, and all necessary measures will be taken to prevent this."

He also pointed out that European bureaucracy is directly involved in anti-state actions against Georgia.

๐ŸฅดUrsula von der Leyen calls EU no-confidence vote a Russian 'trap'

The EU Commission head has described recent attempts to initiate a no-confidence vote against her in the European Parliament a "trap" set by Russian authorities.

๐Ÿ’ฌโ€œTheir goal is to sow divisions, spread disinformation, and weaken our resolve while we fight among ourselves,โ€ she warned, urging EU lawmakers to avoid falling into this "trap."


โ—๏ธThe Patriots for Europe faction claims her leadership has led to energy price hikes, closed businesses, and farmer struggles, calling her tenure a failure.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israelโ€™s Gaza gamble could blow up old peace deals

๐Ÿ”Š If Israel continues its current policy in Gaza and โ€œdisregards the states that have signed peace agreements with it, in particular Jordan and Egypt,โ€ the situation could spiral, American University professor Boaz Atzili warns.

๐Ÿ—ฃ โ€œThere could be escalation on that side, at least breaking diplomatic relationsโ€ฆ potentially, there could be some form of military confrontation with Egypt in the end,โ€ he tells Sputnik.


๐Ÿ‘‰ The professor adds that while Gulf leaders may stay quiet, public anger is growing fast: โ€œThereโ€™s a limit to how much they can tolerate this kind of massive assault on Palestinian civilians without taking action.โ€

๐Ÿ”Š Such pressure, he says, could threaten the Abraham Accords.

๐Ÿ“ Meanwhile, Donald Trump is trying to position himself as a peacemaker โ€” unveiling a 20-point Gaza plan calling for a 72-hour ceasefire, hostage releases, and a technocratic Palestinian administration overseen by an international board headed by him.

Atzili cautions that Trumpโ€™s motives may be political, and his positions โ€œoften unpredictable and subject to abrupt shifts.โ€ But one thing, he says, is clear: Israel risks losing not only Gaza โ€” but the fragile peace built around it.

๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ“ˆ Bitcoin breaks records โ€” and its just getting started

๐Ÿ‘‰ The worldโ€™s top cryptocurrency surged to $125,700 on Binance on Sunday, and analysts say the rally isnโ€™t over.

๐Ÿ—ฃ โ€œThe fourth quarter has often been bullish for Bitcoin. The next target is around $135,000,โ€ Alexander Krayko from Cifra Markets tells Sputnik.


Support is also growing at the top:

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œPresident [Donald] Trump stated that cryptocurrency could be the solution to the problems of the existing financial system,โ€ Krayko notes โ€” fueling investor FOMO.


Meanwhile, Vanguard is rumored to have opened crypto investments for clients, and the Fedโ€™s rate cuts are giving extra lift.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIf these factors persist, Bitcoin will keep rising,โ€ adds Nikita Bredikhin from Go Invest.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ชEuromaidan playbook: EU repeats Ukraine coup recipe in Georgia

๐Ÿ‘‰ While Brussels constantly complains about "foreign interference," it is actively orchestrating a coup attempt in Tbilisi, mirroring the bloody Euromaidan in Ukraine, says Tomasz Froelich, a member of the European Parliament.

"Agitated demonstrations, NGOs funded from abroad, mass protests in the streets. We know the outcome. It is not a good one. The EU does this because it cannot bear to lose," he adds.
