BREAKING: Huge Explosion Rocks Hungary’s Largest Oil Refinery!

Multiple fires and a huge blast hit the MOL refinery just hours after another explosion at the Lukoil refinery in Romania!
This can’t be a coincidence - everything points to sabotage.

Lukoil is a Russian oil company.
NATO-Britain is attacking Hungary a fellow NATO-EU member.
This is how the EU and NATO disintegrates.
And all because Hungary is holding peace talks with Russia.

⚡Pakistani General Sahir Shamshad Mirza:

Indian military is politicized and Indian polity is militarized, creating asymmetries stressing Pakistan’s strategic hand.

India, though an important global south country, cherishes hegemonism and expansionism, defies UN resolutions and human rights.

It makes its current approach the antithesis of global south aspirations, a probable Trojan horse in the camp.

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority finalize the names of those who will run the interim Gaza administration.

This is monumental.
Could never have happened without the genocide.

I hope they keep up the momentum and carry out the reforms.
This is how Palestine achieves statehood.

⚡Trump on Hamas:

Numerous allies in and around the Middle East told me they would gladly enter Gaza with heavy force to “straighten out Hamas” if it violates its agreement.

I told them and Israel, “NOT YET!”.

There is still hope Hamas will do what is right.

If not, its end will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!

⚡🇺🇸 U.S. Passport Power Plummets to Record Low:

For the first time in two decades, the United States has fallen out of the Top 10 in the Henley Passport Index, now ranking 12th, tied with Malaysia.

Americans can now enter 180 countries visa-free, down from 188 last year and far from their 1st place ranking in 2014. The drop follows multiple access restrictions:

· Brazil revoked visa-free entry over lack of reciprocity.
· China expanded visa-free access to Europeans but excluded the U.S.
· Papua New Guinea, Myanmar, and Vietnam tightened entry rules.

Top passports (2025):

🇸🇬 Singapore — 193 destinations
🇰🇷 South Korea — 190
🇯🇵 Japan — 189
🇪🇺 Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland — 188

Meanwhile, the U.S. ranks 77th in openness, allowing only 46 nationalities to enter visa-free, a stark contrast to its global influence.

⚡Brazil's Lula da Silva demanded that Trump stop threatening Venezuela:

"Everyone says we'll turn Brazil into Venezuela. Brazil will never be Venezuela, and Venezuela will never be Brazil. Each of us will remain ourselves"

Lula emphasized that Cuba is not a country of terrorists, but an example of a people with a sense of self-worth.

I wasn't thrilled when Maduro threatened to invade Guyana for this reason.
That hurt Venezuela-Brazil relations because Brazil is the primary guarantor of Guyana's security.

This intervention is coming late.
It is welcome nonetheless. Maduro needs all the help he can get, although it's unlikely to be enough.

nigeriansamurai:

A. No one trusts Pakistan.
B. Pakistan is non-essential. India is. Put differently, no one cares if Pakistan gets their sh*t together. India, however, is a force multiplier.
India's economy is currently larger than all of Africa. And they're only just getting started.

I do not quite agree with the characterization that India is a trojan horse.
I think they're an interesting player.

If they ever live up to their potential, there is of course the possibility that they could team up with the Hegemony to shaft the Global South.
That'll be North America + Europe + India (and Pacific Hegemon allies).
But that's a long way off and India needs to do the impossible economically. Increase their GDP by 10x. if they're able to do that, fair play to them in whatever direction they choose. They'll have deserved it.

And if India somehow increases their GDP by 10x, no one in the Global South has any excuse.
But as of right now, there is zero reason to prematurely tar India when Russia recovered and China developed thanks to amiable Western ties.

India is reeling from this trade war. While Russia and China had prepared for it.

⚡Israel initially blocked Türkiye from joining Gaza ceasefire talks, but Trump personally intervened, pressuring Israel to let Ankara participate.

This move gave Erdogan a pivotal role in sealing the deal and marked a major diplomatic win for Türkiye.

I call BULLS**T on this.
No Middle Eastern country will enter Gaza to bomb Palestinians on behalf of Israel and the US.

He should list the countries.

https://wltreport.com/2025/10/20/shocking-judge-kirk-assssination-trial-quietly-issues-gag/

The Charlie Kirk assassination case continues to get more and more fishy by the day…

Judge Tony Graf, who is presiding over alleged assassin Tyler Robinson’s trial, has quietly issued a very broad gag order affecting thousands of people.

The judge’s gag order bars anyone associated with the case — including over 3,000 witnesses who were present on the Utah Valley University campus when Charlie Kirk was killed — from openly and publicly speaking about it.

In other words, the gag order effectively silences anyone and everyone who may have seen something on that fateful day.

I’m not buying the ‘wanting to avoid pre-trial publicity’ excuse.

It sounds to me a whole lot like they’re trying to keep something from getting out…


lol 😂 😂😂
Like I said before, f*ucking lawyers (always remember judges were once lawyers). No offence to lawyers.
