For three decades, I worked inside multinational projects across Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—often tied to the machinery of U.S. imperial power. What I saw convinced me: no “reform” can sanitize a system built on exploitation. 🧵⬇️

How's that "strong economy" feeling?

The state is basically building a fusion center for retail capitalism’s supply chain security and surveillance apparatus.

Democrats just voted to give DHS more power. We have 2 Republican Parties.

Trump explains why the US has attacked Iran without provocation, sending the global economy into crisis: "We're doing it to help Israel" and the Gulf dictatorships

⚠️ Scott Ritter: Russia Has Decided to Strike Europe — Only Timing Remains 🕰️ Scott Ritter [@RealScottRitter] joins the Deep Dive with a chilling warning: Moscow has already mentally moved beyond the borders of Ukraine. Russia has expanded its military to 2.2 million men, building a logistical machine "fully prepared to wage war against NATO" while the West is lulled into a false sense of stalemate security. "It's already triggered. The decisions have been made. So now just the question of timing." * While the West talks of attrition, Russia has built a 70,000-strong mobile army corps on the Finnish border, ready for high-intensity conflict. "Russia will do what it needs to do unless there is a change of behavior on the part of Europe." * Moscow sees a leadership vacuum in the West, viewing current European heads of state as having "no political future." The clock is ticking on a failed U.S. strategy. Don't wait for the next strike to understand the reality of this expanding global threat. 📺 Watch the full, high-impact clip here: open.substack.com/pub/danieldavi… 👉 #RussiaUkraineWar #ScottRitter #NATO #EuropeAtWar #Geopolitics #USStrategy #NationalSecurity #MilitaryAnalysis #Russia #DefenseIndustry #GlobalConflict #DeepDive

Meanwhile in Africa, the Nigerian military discloses that they have uncovered and collected over 400 Elon Musk’s Starlink hardware kits from Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in the thick bush and around Sambisa Forest. These were used for communication among them.

Abbas Araghchi at the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting: “The battle Iran has fought is in defense of all of us – of the new world that we are building together... History has shown that Empires in decline will stop at nothing to arrest their inevitable fates. A wounded animal will desperately claw and roar on its way down... We believe that BRICS can – and must – become one of the principal pillars in shaping a more just, balanced, and humane global order; an order in which might can never make right. Nations which stand up for their dignity and independence may endure hardship, but they will never be defeated”.

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.” Americans are tired of watching corruption dressed up as virtue.

Ukraine, or at least the criminal gang who stole power in 2014, started this War. Now that they have bled the country pale for profit, the remnants of the people should hold them accountable, but they are trapped in a brutal police state. Ukrainians voted for Peace.

Israeli occupation police and settlers brutally attack Palestinian girls in occupied Jerusalem

"Albanese has done nothing more than speak" — Justice Richard J. Leon. US court temporarily blocks Trump's "vastly over inclusive" sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine @FranceskAlbs on freedom of speech grounds. Will Europe now act? Albanese had submitted reports denouncing Israel's mass killing and ethnic cleansing. She also named US companies such as Google and Palantir who facilitated Israel's actions. The ruling was made by senior DC judge Richard D. Leon who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002. US sanctions are still active against European and Canadian ICC judges (the legality of which was not considered) and punitive measures against Albanese could be reimposed during subsequent hearings. The EU can block the sanctions using its "blocking statute" — a move Spain's government said it would back. But will it?

French aircraft carrier advances toward Hormuz amid US-led naval siege of Iran —— The French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has reached the Arabian Sea and is closing in on the Strait of Hormuz, according to Minister Delegate for the Armed Forces Alice Rufo. The deployment adds significant European firepower to the US-led naval blockade that has strangled Iranian maritime traffic since 13 April. By joining the coalition forces, Paris is moving to secure the world’s most critical energy chokepoint following the 28 February joint US-Israeli strikes that launched the current regional war and sent the global economy into a tailspin. The arrival of the French flagship signals a hardening of the western military stance after the failure of peace talks in Islamabad earlier this month. While a fragile ceasefire remains in place, the Trump administration has used the lull in direct strikes to implement a "maximum pressure" blockade designed to bankrupt the Islamic Republic. The French carrier strike group will now operate alongside US and British assets to ensure that any attempt by Tehran to break the maritime siege is met with overwhelming force, effectively turning the Gulf of Oman into a permanent forward operating base for the US-aligned coalition.

In this generation, a bold group of nations is refusing to bend to imperialist pressure and coercion: Russia standing tall against NATO encirclement and endless sanctions. China forging its own destiny and lifting millions out of poverty on its terms. Iran enduring decades of maximum pressure yet refusing to surrender its sovereignty. Venezuela, Cuba, and others in Latin America holding firm despite brutal economic warfare. The age of unipolar dominance is dying. A multipolar world where countries choose self-determination over submission is rising. True independence is defended, never gifted. Who else belongs on this list?

The Cuban president dismissed an offer by the US to send aid to the Caribbean nation, saying lifting the country’s blockade is a more urgent priority. Follow: T.me/presstv

For many Palestinians, the reality unfolding today echoes the Nakba of 1948. Entire cities, neighborhoods, and towns were eradicated during the Nakba, with families forcibly displaced never allowed to return. ￭ After 78 years of occupation, similar patterns continue to unfold across Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, reaffirming that Israel’s objective has since then remained the eradication of Palestine and the abolition of the cause that unites Arab liberation movements. ￭ Palestinians today continue to suffer under occupation, their fates in Israeli occupation prisons unknown, their land stolen, their fields uprooted, and their lives under constant threat from the IOF and settlers alike.

Trump claims China will order 200 Boeing aircraft—his big "win" from the Beijing summit. No contract has been published. No timeline confirmed. Trump has a history of announcing "deals" that never materialize. One problem: China just signed massive verified Airbus contracts worth tens of billions, and Airbus now controls 55% of the Chinese market. Recent Airbus orders (confirmed, filed with stock exchanges): 🔸 April 2026: China Southern ordered 137 Airbus A320neos ($21.4 billion) 🔸 February 2026: 120 Airbus jets (German Chancellor Merz visit) 🔸 December 2025-January 2026: 148 Airbus jets from five Chinese companies 🔸 Since 2025: ~$55 billion in Airbus orders Boeing hasn't secured a major Chinese order since 2017, a drought caused by the U.S.-China trade war, 737 MAX crashes, and geopolitical tensions. Trump wanted 500 planes (analysts expected 500), but he claims he got less than half. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg publicly begged Trump last month to help unlock the orders, saying Boeing needed "the administration's support." Until we see signed contracts with delivery schedules filed with regulators, this is vaporware. .

Why are ethical questions always like, ‘Is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?’ and not, ‘Is it ethical to hoard bread while families are starving?
