Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

Kherson under siege. Russian forces are dropping aerial bombs directly onto residential buildings, and openly publishing the footage as propaganda. Russia has no moral bar, and right now, no accountability. Just the deliberate targeting of civilians, a terror campaign in plain sight, from the air, against peaceful residents 🇺🇦

💥What we’ve all feared is happening: Hungarian Russia expert András Rácz wrote three days ago about a potential Russia-backed false flag attack in Serbia targeting the gas pipeline to Hungary. The same information had already reached multiple journalists, including myself, weeks earlier, from sources connected to Hungarian government circles. Now Viktor Orbán has announced that Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić informed him about “explosives of devastating power” found at the gas pipeline connecting the two countries. Orbán and his propaganda machine are already amplifying the news everywhere, with the prime minister convening his security cabinet. It remains unclear what measures the government might take using this alleged false flag operation as a pretext. But if the second part of the information we received also proves true, Orbán could declare a state of emergency, significantly affecting the election campaign—which he is currently losing—and potentially disrupting the organization of the April 12 election. The opposition Tisza Party has been widening its lead to 15–20 points, if not more. Orbán accuses them of being "Ukrainian agents" for months. His propaganda would very soon link the Serbian false-flag both to Ukraine and the Tisza Party, I have no doubts about that. I encourage all foreign reporters covering the Hungarian election to pay close attention and not fall for the government’s propaganda or the narratives pushed by its pundits on the Orbán government payroll, including here on X. The situation could soon be very serious.

In Kharkiv, the Holy Pokrovsky Men's Monastery in the city centre is burning after a russian strike. It is over 300 years old.

With the news that a second plane, an A10 was shot down (pilot safe) makes me wonder if those recent shipments from Russia to Iran had some new weapons

Worth noting that Donald Trump just announced the end of NATO and the Special Relationship in one tweet.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump says: Will express 'my disgust' with NATO in his speech; says he is 'absolutely' considering withdrawing U.S. from NATO.
