⚡Yemen's Houthis test-fired hypersonic missile, says military source.

Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, has carried out a test flight of a hypersonic missile with high destructive capability and is preparing to add these missiles to its military arsenal, a military source close to the movement has told Sputnik.

"Missile forces of the movement have successfully tested a missile that can reach speeds of up to Mach 8 [10,000 kilometers per hour or 6,200 miles per hour] and is powered by solid fuel. Yemen plans to begin manufacturing it for use in attacks in the Red and Arabian Seas and the Gulf of Aden, as well as against targets in Israel," the source said.

At the same time as the hypersonic missile test, the armed forces in northern Yemen upgraded their missiles and drones, having modified the explosive warheads to double their destructive power, after a test that lasted three months, the source added.

Worrisome stats.

Do you know that there are:

(1) 420k prisoners in India with a population of 1.44b people?

(2) 430k prisoners in Russia with a population of 144m people?

(3) 830k prisoners in Brazil with a population of 217m people?

(4) 1.7m prisoners in China with a population of 1.42b people?

And

(5) 2.2m prisoners in the USA with a population of 341m people?

Meaning the total number of prisoners in the first 3 countries are less than the prisoners in the US even though the population of the first 3 is more than 5 times the population of the US?

So much for freedom and democracy.

Do not be blinded by the illusion they have used their media houses to build.

The US is the biggest prison of a country in the world.

Whatever they accuse others of, they're guilty 10 times.

They said no freedom in China, Russia etc, but see their prisons filled with humans!

Freedom and democracy indeed!

And it gets even worst knowing that a majority of those people incarcerated are Blacks despite making up just 13% of the US population. Blacks are disproportionately given higher prison terms for the same offences committed by their white counterparts. So much for democrazy and equality of all. cool

⚡BOEING WHISTLEBLOWER FOUND DECEASED.

John Barnett, a former Boeing quality manager and whistleblower on the company's production practices, has been reported dead by the BBC.

His allegations included fitting substandard parts to aircraft and a 25% failure rate in emergency oxygen systems.

Boeing denies the claims, but recent FAA reviews highlight manufacturing quality control failures.

⚡German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has notified Chancellor Olaf Scholz of a €4.5-6 billion shortfall in the defence budget.

So far, €52bn is allocated for the Bundeswehr for 2025, and this amount needs to be increased in order to comply with the NATO requirement.

The German Finance Ministry proposed to make up the shortfall in funding by cutting social benefits. However, this option was rejected by Olaf Scholz.

Someone here even said European countries don't have their independent defense budget aside their 2% they contribute to NATO. The way some people just open their mouth and type nonsense without proper research is pathetically regrettable.

⚡Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in the Polish Parliament:

“Some NATO countries have already sent their military to Ukraine. He stated that he would not name them.

“Unlike other politicians, I will not list these countries,” Sikorsky said, hinting at German Chancellor Scholz.

When we said this many months ago, some of our brainwashed brethren on the other side said it's a lie that there no NATO soldiers in Ukraine. Well, a NATO country just confirmed it. In other words, Russia has been killing NATO soldiers in Ukraine, and the western governments are tacitly preparing their populations for the news because, the death rate is reaching an unbearable level of proportion that would be extremely difficult to hide any longer. cool

Truly, Russia is the world's real military super power proven on the battlefield cool

How can I sell something to you for cheap to help boost your economy but you say I depend on you. How?

Russia also sells cheap gas to India & Turkey at the same quantity it sells to China.

Some of you reason backwards.

Russia is in fact helping China. The same help it gave to the EU, particularly Germany for decades. What do you call that?

What exactly does Russia buy from China? China copies Russia in every thing.

I've been to Shenzhen, China and they see Russians as superior to them so dead that narrative.

The US itself is in the palms of China. It manufactures literally everything in China. It also depends on bailout funds from China.

⚡Russia does not need other people's land, but it will not give up its own

Main statements of Dmitry Medvedev's speech at the Russian Znanie Society’s educational marathon:

▪️ We are building the future of our country, which is today fulfilling a special, fateful mission in the global world, and there is no doubt that it will be fulfilled;

▪️ It is important to realize where and how Russia's borders are delineated in our time and what they may be in the future;

▪️ The territories on both banks of the Dnepr River are an integral part of Russia's historical strategic borders;

▪️ We are not talking about expanding the borders of the Russian Federation by seizing the territory of Ukraine;

▪️ If Ukraine had not fallen into the stupid trap set by the US to fight Russia, everything could have been different;

▪️ A country's security can be effectively ensured only when it is confident of stability far beyond its perimeter.

I knew deep down that Odessa and Kharkov will be returning home to the motherland. Zele plays right into the Elite's hand in the west.

Poland has lost 10k soldiers fighting as mercenaries in Ukraine. America and France has lost up to thousand of soilder. British NATO soldiers has run away from Ukraine cheesy

Russia has defeated Ukraine. Most Ukraine best soldiers has been killed and wonded.

What Russia is fighting in Ukraine is NATO.

Correct. The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz has revealed recently that British soldiers are the ones launching the Storm Shadow missiles in Ukraine. Nato regulars have been involved from day one, and many of them have died in Ukraine.

Funny how Ukraine could've benefited from this negotiations if they were not deceived by the west.

Anyways, there's no going back now, according to Putin: There's only one decider in this war and that's the battlefield.

And the only red line is for any country to put boots on ground.
If any country thinks they are stronger than Russia and can fight Russia, they have the opportunity now to officially put boots on ground in Ukraine.

Many people still do not know what is really happening in Ukraine. NATO regular forces has been fighting in Ukraine since the beginning of the first month of war. When you recall what happened in Mariupol, especially inside the Azovstal steel plant, you'd understand better that Russia has been fighting and killing NATO regular forces in Ukraine. Poland, France, and Canadian forces, including high ranking personnel, have been liquidated in Ukraine many times. What you're hearing from those countries now regarding sending troops to Ukraine is purely out of bitterness that most of the troops they sent unofficially were killed or gravely wounded by the Russians. So, they're desperately trying to formalize the deployment in order to avoid accountability pby the time the whole thing becomes glaring.

Do you remember how they sent helicopters several times attempting to evacuate some high ranking figures trapped by Russia in the Azovstal steel plant? They keep making the attempt when all calls from Macron to Putin failed to get them freed. On each occasion they tried to fly out the high ranking figures, the helicopters were destroyed by Russian forces that surrounded Mariupol. Why would NATO be so desperate to free those guys if they weren't top NATO military brass but soldiers who went on their own accord as they claimed? One Canadian General was among them, which the Canadian government described as "formal" general with a problem of his own. What they are calling mercenaries are real NATO soldiers under a special contract so as to provide a narrative for plausible denial when the need arises.
