Transcript of Serbian General Jovanić’s address to a general audience: Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, regarding today's events in the area of the villages of Trešnjevac and Vojvoda Zimonjić, the Director of the Military Security Agency, Lieutenant General Đuro Jovanić, will address us. General, please, come forward. Đuro Jovanić: We met in the early morning hours during the execution of an operational action taking place in the territory of Kanjiža. I can tell you that today, some of you were witnesses to an extremely successful action by the Serbian security services. This operational action was preceded by some time. For months, we have been signaling to the Commander-in-Chief and President Aleksandar Vučić, as well as the state leadership, that something like this could happen today. I must be honest—we encountered disapproval and disagreements, for example, in cases where we had to present relevant signs that compressor stations and gas infrastructure could be endangered. Of course, the state leadership manages resources carefully—this is extremely expensive, but beyond being expensive, it requires additional efforts, meaning enormous efforts on the part of the military. What I want to say is that today’s work was preceded by operational field work. There was a good exchange of information with related services, and in this specific case of what happened today, we had information that a person from a militarily trained migrant group would attempt to sabotage the gas infrastructure. Of course, we faced—and face daily—a lot of misinformation, most often regarding the timing and method of the act itself, i.e., the sabotage attempt. Today, after a successful action, we are also facing disinformation. We are looking for that person, and we will certainly take them into custody. The only question is whether the investigation will take three days or several months. But as always, we perform our duties consistently. What I want to say is that the disinformation continues. Disinformation suggesting that the Serbian army and its members would work for some other or third party by stealing Ukrainian explosives, and therefore accusing the Ukrainians of organizing the sabotage. Let me say immediately that this is not true. It is not true because what does it matter who the manufacturer of the explosives is? It does not mean they ordered it or carried it out. Today we successfully searched the area, and during that, we found the following: Here you can see the specially packaged, hermetically sealed explosives. You can see specially prepared and packaged items, as well as the fuse and the explosive, and other tools and equipment. I will reveal one detail from the investigation: the markings on the explosive clearly show that it was manufactured in the United States of America—meaning that the United States is supporting something like this at this moment. Please, inform the public. The Serbian army is a serious institution, and the Serbian army consistently carries out all its tasks. The Serbian army does not interfere in the political processes of the Republic of Serbia, let alone the political processes of any other country. We are continuing our work. Teams are already working on preparing all these pieces of evidence found today for forensic examination. We will be coming forward with new information very shortly. Long live Serbia!

Turkmenistan had a military show to impress the son of the dictator and it was as awesome as you'd expect.

This is the reality. No-one is going to put warships escorting a slow moving convoy through the Strait in the face of Iranian opposition. Ergo it has to be on the basis of negotiation, as I have been saying from the outset.

The irony with all this is that the reason there’s a rift between Europe and Russia is because of US policy. Europe-Russia is a much more natural alliance in many ways than Europe-US. This shit is so tiresome

Trump seems to have now fully lost the support of the British right on Iran Nigel Farage says Keir Starmer was “right” not to join the conflict and that he’s sure Trump won’t abandon Hormuz. “I wouldn’t think for a minute that the Americans would walk away from that.” Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says of Trump and Hormuz: “If you break it, you own it. He should not be abandoning a mess that he’s made.” Originally both Farage and Badenoch appeared to back the war

The recent struggles of two ostensibly dominant global military powers (the United States and Russia) to meet their stated objectives, despite initial advantages, should give China serious pause as it contemplates the most complex amphibious operation against Taiwan in history
