💰 Japan rebuffs EU scheme on frozen Russian assets

Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama ruled out using the roughly $30 billion worth of Russian assets due to legal concerns, two EU diplomats told media.

Several officials claim, however, that Japan’s stance aligns with the objections of its ally, the US, to the move.

👉 At the G7 meeting, the US indicated it will end support for Ukraine after completing the final installments of a 2024 G7-wide loan negotiated by the Biden administration, according to one EU diplomat.

Responsibility for the possible seizure of Russian assets will be shared by individuals and entire countries, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

🗣 Ukraine crisis 'most concentrated expression' of European security demise — Valdai Club program chief

The flaws of the European security system formed in the late 1980s were never fixed, later "metastasizing" and leading to its crisis and demise, Valdai Club Program Director Ivan Timofeev has said at the Valdai Discussion Club conference "Security in Eurasia: From Concept to Practice."

💬 "The Ukrainian conflict that we are witnessing is the very nerve of this crisis—its essence, so to speak, its most concentrated expression," he explained.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China's 'near-peer' status in US strategy hides looming hot war threat - analyst

📍 The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) may look softer on paper, recasting China from a “threat” into a “near-peer competitor” with seeming potential to “reshape” US-China relations, Dr. John Gong, economics professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, tells Sputnik.

But that is just a thin veneer of peaceful “palliatives,” according to China expert Jeff J. Brown.

👉 In reality, US allies “Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and Australia, are being armed for confrontation, and a hot war is still likely in the next 2-3 years,” says Brown, who is also founder of Seek Truth From Facts Foundation.

The US “still flogs the Asian Quad – “obviously structured to counter China militarily,” he notes, adding that the NSS:

🟠 insists on “arming Taiwan to the hilt, to counter China with ‘military overmatch“

🟠 pushes to “maintain military foothold in the South China Sea under flimsy pretext against China”

🟠 Australia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea urged to “spend more on arms to ‘deter adversaries’ “which are obviously China, DPRK and Russia”

📍 US tariffs also remain in force.

‘Behind-the-scene rogue actors’

🔶 The CIA, US Departments of War and State, US Legislature, and Israel’s Mossad don’t want to relinquish the profits generated by forever wars, noted the expert.

💬 “These Western deep state actors learned a long time ago to ignore or sabotage any directives that threaten their filthy lucre,” he says.

No shift in West’s power pyramid

🟧 The US plans to keep its allies buying its weapons to “contain China,” believes Brown.

🟧 US “fealty” to the West’s war machine has been bought by billionaire donors who “don’t get richer with peace.”

🟧 Since 1963 and the presidency of John F. Kennedy, “no US president has been free to be ‘presidential’ in their governance, like Putin and Xi are.”

🟧 As far as China is concerned, it will likely “play to Trump’s megalomania,” while quietly prepping for a potential hot war.”

🇺🇸 US's shift to multipolar world could be blocked by deep state - historian

🗣 The US no longer desires to bear the burden of solving the world’s problems, like Atlas, Serbian historian Srdja Trifkovic tells Sputnik.

Even though the country’s updated national security strategy can be seen as a positive development for those advocating for a multipolar world and opposing Brussels’ bureaucracy, Trifkovic warns that the implementation of these plans could be obstructed by the “deep state.”

Trifkovic notes:

🔶 The basis of the new document was already laid out in JD Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Forum in February

🔶 Specifically, one of the core threats mentioned is Europe losing its identity due to the civilizational-demographic collapse

🔶 The strategy is still focused on Europe, but a Europe freed from the Brussels-Davos oligarchy for a return to its original form—a community of nations with no sovereignty violations or ideological dictate.
