Russia is trying to set the stage for a false flag attack. They are claiming that France and the UK are going to smuggle tactical nukes to Ukraine for use against Russia. That's definitely made up.

A Russian drone was intercepted by Swedish armed forces as it approached French carrier Charles De Gaulle, currently docked in south Sweden.

Took of from a Russian ship but disappeared after electronic warfare actions were taken.

Caveat, media understanding, but seemingly confirmed by MOD =).

💥BREAKING: Viktor Orbán ordered the military deployed to guard “key energy facilities,” citing a possible Ukrainian “attack” to disrupt Hungary’s energy system. The move fuels fears of a staged national security emergency or false-flag incident ahead of the April 12 elections. This is really scary.

‼️Russian mercenaries with FSB ties are in de-facto control of shadow fleet tankers.

2 "security guards", who ensure the captain "strictly follows orders based on Russian interests", were on a tanker involved in many EU airspace drone violations.

And not just one ship. Dozens.

In het kabinet Jetten is de Minister van Defensie Dilan Yeşilgöz.
Zij wilde op geen enkele voorwaarde samenwerken met PvdA/GL.
Ze zag er echter wel geen been in om wel in een coalitie te stappen met Geert Wilders.
De vriend van Poetin-versteher Orban.
De dictator die de hulp aan Oekraïne blokkeert.

De wrok van een mislukte supermacht - Maartenonline Voor een verklaring van de Russische agressie tegen Oekraïne moeten we volgens Maarten van Rossem terug naar de Koude Oorlog.

Na vier jaar oorlog in Oekraïne verlopen de onderhandelingen nog altijd moeizaam. Eventuele veiligheidsgaranties blijven een twistpunt. Maarten ziet daarvoor een verklaring in de geschiedenis van de betrekkingen met de NAVO. ‘Rusland is vanwege het verlies van het imperium een gefrustreerd land.’

Washington warns Ukraine over striking US economic interests in Russia Kyiv’s ambassador to Washington asserts state department complained after strike on Russian port in November

The Trump admin formally warned Ukraine not to strike targets within Russia that could hit US economic interests, according to Kyiv’s ambassador in DC.

Meanwhile, the Trump admin has barely said anything about Russia’s many more strikes on US businesses in Ukraine.

Trump’s SOTU Speech Was Bad. The Actual State of Our Union Is Worse Trump’s 108-minute speech broke records for its duration as well as its lies, insufferability, offensiveness, and the danger its contents present for the future of the country.

Trump’s speech was a tsunami of lies and hate wrapped in jingoism and cheered on by fascist goons. But it was worse than that.

Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain It's not even clear he knows why he wants to bomb Iran.

Trump is about to start a war, and he hasn't even tried to persuade the public that it's a good idea. Maybe it's because he's not sure himself why he's doing it.

Four years into its war in Ukraine, Russia is not winning. By any measure, Moscow’s invasion is a total strategic failure.

Within the Coalition of the Willing, we are clear that the fastest way to end the war is to increase support for Ukraine and intensify pressure on Russia. (1/2)

We just visited an energy infrastructure site damaged by Russian missile strikes.

We know Russia is using the freezing cold as a weapon of war.

We are helping Ukraine resist and fight back.

Like with the Great Turtle that holds up the world, the sinister goes all the way down here.

Not only is ICE building concentration camps, but many of these will be run by private companies run by Trump allies, almost all of which are deeply embedded in the corrupt crony capitalism /1
