๐Ÿช–๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช Warmongering dressed up as a peace push: Sweden pledges Gripen warplanes for Ukraine

Sweden is ready to "preserve the peace in Ukraine" with military hardware, PM Ulf Kristersson wrote on X.

๐ŸŸ  Gripen fighter jets for air surveillance over Ukraine

๐ŸŸ  Maritime resources for clearing mines in the Black Sea

๐ŸŸ  Continued training of Ukrainian military officers

But there are conditions: clear rules of engagement for the apparently imaginary multinational force and formal approval by parliament.

Does he even understand what "peace" means?๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ US attempts to intercept Russian oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean

The Russian company BurevestMarin reported an attempted US interception of the tanker Marinera in the North Atlantic.

Despite the captain's efforts to demonstrate that the vessel was carrying no cargo and was a civilian ship, it was pursued by US Navy P-8A Poseidon drones.

Earlier this week, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Moscow was closely monitoring the abnormal situation surrounding the Russian oil tanker Marinera, which was in international waters of the North Atlantic under the Russian flag and in full compliance with international maritime law.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "For reasons unclear to us, the Russian ship is being given increased and clearly disproportionate attention by the US and NATO military, despite its peaceful status,"the ministry emphasized.


Russia expects Western countries, which declare their commitment to freedom of navigation in international waters, to adhere to this principle themselves, the ministry said.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ช Alberto Fujimori

Neoliberal and authoritarian President of Peru


Japanese-Peruvian Alberto Fujimori governed Peru from 1990 to 2000 after coming to power in a populist campaign.

He implemented aggressive neoliberal reforms, privatising hundreds of state-owned enterprises in strategic sectors, attracting foreign investment โ€“ primarily from the United States.

In April 1992 he dissolved the Congress and Judiciary in an internal coup.

His supporters credit him with stopping the hyperinflation inherited from the previous government with a harsh economic program known as the Fujishock and defeating the terrorist organization Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path).

But those results came at the cost of suppressing democratic institutions.

His regime recruited death squads like the Colina Group, responsible for massacres, and promoted forced sterilization that affected up to 300,000 poor and indigenous women, with funding and support from USAID.

โณ โ€˜Military equipment is not being made fast enough!โ€™ โ€” Trump

President Donald Trump said he plans to restrict dividends, stock buybacks and executive compensation at US defense contractors, arguing that military equipment is being produced and maintained too slowly.

๐Ÿ’ฐ In a post on Truth Social, Trump said defense firms are issuing โ€œmassive dividendsโ€ and conducting โ€œmassive stock buybacksโ€ instead of investing in new plants and equipment. He also criticized what he called โ€œexorbitant and unjustifiableโ€ executive pay.

Trump said dividends, buybacks and high executive compensation would not be permitted until companies expand and modernize production facilities and improve maintenance and repair, adding that executives should not be allowed to make more than $5 million until the problems are fixed.

๐Ÿšจ ICE officer shoots woman dead in Minneapolis โ€” reports

A woman was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, with federal authorities describing the incident as โ€œdomestic terrorism,โ€ Fox 13 reported. Federal officials said ICE officers were conducting an operation when a woman โ€œweaponized her vehicle,โ€ prompting an officer to fire โ€œdefensive shots.โ€

๐Ÿ’ฌ "An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said.


Local officials rejected that account. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the woman โ€œwas shot by ICEโ€ and accused federal authorities of trying to frame the incident as self-defense, calling that narrative โ€œbullshitโ€ after viewing video of the shooting. He also called on ICE to leave the city.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the state would ensure โ€œa full, fair, and expeditious investigation.โ€

๐Ÿ—ฃ ICE officer โ€˜seems to have shotโ€™ woman in self-defense, now recovering โ€” Trump

President Donald Trump said he reviewed video of the Minneapolis incident, calling it โ€œa horrible thing to watch.โ€

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the woman driving the car was โ€œobstructing and resistingโ€ and โ€œran over the ICE Officer,โ€ adding that the officer โ€œseems to have shot her in self-defenseโ€ and is now recovering in the hospital. He said the situation is still being reviewed.

Trump blamed what he called a โ€œRadical Left movement of violence and hateโ€ for attacks on law enforcement, saying ICE agents are โ€œjust trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE,โ€ and called for support for law enforcement officers.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฐ US military budget for 2027 should be raised to $1.5 trillion โ€” Trump

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œOur Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars,โ€ President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social.


Trump claimed the higher spending level would allow the US to build what he called a โ€œDream Militaryโ€ capable of keeping the country โ€œsafe and secure, regardless of foe.โ€

He linked the proposed increase to tariff revenue, arguing it would make it possible to expand military spending while also paying down debt and funding domestic payouts.
