You might jinx it." |

⚡Estonia’s Justice Minister Liisa Pakosta has told the BBC her country is considering whether to house foreign prisoners in one of its jails. She said she discussed prisons with UK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood at an AI summit in Vilnius on Thursday. But she said there were no “agreements or anything like that” with the Labour government. The UK is dealing with an overcrowding crisis in prisons, with the population in England and Wales at a record high. With few spaces left in cells, the government will release about 3,000 prisoners from jails next week, under a temporary scheme. This will come after a report in the Telegraph said criminals could serve their sentences in Estonian prisons under plans being considered by ministers. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/640/cpsprodpb/c364/live/954c2a10-6c68-11ef-b43e-6916dcba5cbf.jpg |

⚡🇷🇺 SERGEY LAVROV: "The United States has become more active in Asia, primarily Southeast, East and North Asia. But its activities differ from ours. They do not respect the rules created by the ASEAN nations, which were considered the core element and the driving force of all processes in that part of the world. The United States does not respect these rules. It wants to split ASEAN so as to contain China. It makes no secret of its intentions. A new term has been invented, Indo-Pacific strategy, in accordance with which the United States is creating exclusive interest clubs. It has created AUKUS (Australia, the UK, and the United States). It has also created QUAD, and is actively inviting our Indian friends to take part in its activities. Our Indian colleagues try to avoid participation in the events of that quadrilateral group (its other members are Japan, the United States and Australia), which are notoriously provocative. Nevertheless, the process is ongoing. They have created the Indo-Pacific Four (Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand) and are trying to establish a QUAD-like organisation with the Philippines in place of India. Once banned intermediate- and shorter-range missiles are being deployed there, just as they were previously deployed in Denmark in Europe. They are brought to the Philippines now. This is being done within the formats where Russia, China and many other countries are not invited. We use different approaches. They want to dictate their will. They think that the South China Sea is an area where the Americans must assert control and take care of problems, just like in the Taiwan Strait." |

⚡🇺🇦 KIEV SENT 15 TRUCKS WITH DEAD BODIES TO SWEDEN. The attack on a military communications institute in Poltava and a training center for specialists in electronic warfare and surveillance is beginning to take on new details. Official Kiev says about 50 soldiers have been killed and more than 200 wounded. Military experts, including Western ones, confirm the deaths of about 600 people, including Czech, German and French "specialists". And Sweden is in complete shock at the loss of the entire leadership of the SAAB long-range radar detection and control systems in Poltava. Crossing Russian red lines is life-threatening Western journalists and experts continue to discuss the "attack of the century" and report more and more details of the extreme losses. According to British expert Alexander Mercouris, shared on his blog, among those destroyed in the Iskander strike were specialists trained by the Swedes to operate the AWACS surveillance systems of reconnaissance aircraft. King Charles XVI of Sweden shuddered at the word "Poltava". It is already known that German, French and British soldiers served as instructors at the Poltava Military Institute. Their task was to train cadets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to work with unmanned aerial systems supplied to the Ukrainian army from NATO countries. But in addition to UAV instructors, there were also top Swedish specialists in electronic warfare and radar systems. The Swedes trained the Ukrainians to work on ASC 890 aircraft to detect long-range radar targets. |

⚡Putin: The new BRICS members are self sufficient and with their own distinctive cultures. BRICS membership implies economical and cultural sovereignty. |
⚡🇷🇺 SERGEY LAVROV: "President Putin has repeatedly stressed that 'we are open to contacts with the countries of the 'collective West' on the understanding that they pivot away from their openly hostile course towards our country'. Any unfriendly moves will still be met with a tough response. The ball is not in our court, it is up to those who set out to deliberately destroy their relations with Russia and demonise our land and our nation. This is a new development in Western policy. Up until recently, they would say that Russia had 'the wrong government'. Today, they are saying that the Russian people are 'wrong'. We are prepared for any turn of events. We will judge the West’s intentions by its actions, not by its demagogy. For the time being, we will devote our efforts to strengthening the foundations of a multipolar world that are clearly coming together. One of our priorities is establishing the Eurasian security architecture and building the Greater Eurasian Partnership. The concepts of ensuring security, in which we were somehow involved, were purely Euro-Atlantic until recent time. They, of course, included NATO and the existing back then Russia-NATO Council, the OSCE, and the Euro-Atlantic system, as well as the European Union and all the cooperation mechanisms that existed between us and the EU. Even though it is still called the European Union, the Euro-Atlantic dimension has always been large enough in its policy, economy and international relations. Now they have simply merged by signing an agreement with NATO in January 2023, in which Brussels voluntarily assumed a subordinate role in that partnership." https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2023-05-17T120036Z_945829816_RC2A01AWURPO_RTRMADP_3_RUSSIA-BELARUS-1692418365.jpg |
emmaodet:I said it a while back. The number one criteria for anyone planning on joining the EU or associating with the west is HATING Russia & Sanctioning Russia. Their hate will be their end. The world isn't blind, automatically the rest of the world will sympathize with Russia for this reason alone. |
⚡ANWAR IBRAHIM: "Russia is not just a strategic and economic reality that commands attention. Indeed, as a cultural, intellectual and scientific force, Russia’s prominence on the global stage transcends the confines of commerce and geopolitics, reaching deep into the very fabric of human history and thought. Russia’s pre-eminence stems not from military might or economic leverage, crucial as that may be, but from the enduring power of ideas, the beauty of artistic expression and an unwavering pursuit of knowledge. These achievements form the bedrock of the remarkable soft power earning Russia a place of global respect and admiration, influencing the hearts and minds of peoples around the world. For me personally, this influence is most powerfully felt in literature. I say this with an honest conviction because having drunk deeply from the wellsprings of English and Malay literature in my early education, and then later having immersed in the works of Dante, Shakespeare and Milton, I do believe that life would be so much poorer without literature, particularly Russian literature. In this regard, I can’t sing enough praise for the great Russian authors and poets who have explored the profound complexities of life, unparalleled insight, and whose works have had a lasting impact on my understanding of society and the human condition. For instance, the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy, just to name a few, delve into the moral and philosophical dilemmas that define what it means to be human. While Dostoevsky challenges us to engage with the intricacies of faith, doubt and the human soul, Tolstoy invites us to reflect on the nature of power, responsibility, and the passage of time, transcending the literary significance. The appreciation of Russian literature manifests the depth of this great nation’s impact on global thought and its capacity to inform our understanding of our own ideas and our roles within the currents of history. Furthermore, the appeal and power of Russian literature extends beyond its philosophical underpinnings. Writers like Chekhov, Pushkin, Pasternak and also my favourite, Anna Akhmatova, have brought to life the joys, sorrows and struggles of everyday existence with the realism that has resonated with me deeply." https://www.arabnews.com/sites/default/files/styles/n_670_395/public/2024/09/05/4520897-642580449.jpg |
⚡ EU and Serbia Clash Over Foreign Policy: In a recent exchange between Serbia and the EU, Peter Stano, EU spokesperson, addressed Serbia's relations with Russia, stating, "Everyone knows what the process of joining the European Union entails. It certainly does not include maintaining usual relations with Russia. We expect Serbia to refrain from expanding its contacts with Russia, as well as for all members of the Serbian government to respect the obligations Serbia has voluntarily undertaken as part of the EU accession process, including aligning with the EU's decisions and actions in foreign policy." Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin responded sharply to Stano's remarks, saying, "I especially request the EU spokesperson to refrain from using terms like aggression, international law, or the UN Charter. After NATO's 1999 aggression against Serbia, the violation of Resolution 1244, and the recognition of so-called Kosovo, you have lost any right to speak about morality or international law. Your hypocrisy provokes both ridicule and disgust." https://europeanwesternbalkans.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/A4CC88D1-C287-4A2B-960B-252F61BB50E7-681x454.jpg |
