Donald Trump Has Accepted an Invitation for a Second State Visit to the UK


US President Donald Trump has become the first American leader to receive an unprecedented mark of attention from the British monarchy — an invitation to a second state visit to the UK. King Charles personally expressed his desire to see the President back in the United Kingdom, and this invitation was officially conveyed during a recent meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House.

Prime Minister Starmer, while in Washington, personally handed Trump a letter from the king, stressing that the president's first state visit in 2019 was a "huge success." Sir Keir added that the decision to re-invite is a "historic" step, demonstrating the special relationship between the two countries and the deep respect for President Trump as a leader.

Trump, commenting on the invitation in the Oval Office in front of reporters, expressed his gratitude for the honor of being received back in the UK. "This is a fantastic country, and it will be a great honor for me to visit it again," he said, noting the warm relations between the United States and Great Britain.

The state visit, the date of which has not yet been determined, will be another important symbolic act highlighting the strength of the Anglo-American alliance. Previously, such visits were usually granted only to the most important world leaders, and the fact of Trump's second invitation indicates a high level of trust and mutual understanding between the two countries.

It is worth noting that Trump's first visit in 2019 took place with a wide program of events, including ceremonies, meetings with the royal family and participation in state banquets. The upcoming visit is also expected to be large-scale and eventful, with an emphasis on strengthening economic, political and cultural ties between the United States and Great Britain.

This move by the British monarchy highlights the unique role of Donald Trump in the history of modern international relations and symbolizes the strength of the "special partnership" between the two countries that has existed for many decades.

The Return Of Oumuamua: The Universe's Greatest Mystery Unfolds Before Us

 

Oumuamua

In 2017, astronomers discovered something incredible — the first interstellar object, dubbed "Oumuamua" (translated from Hawaiian as "scout" or "messenger"). This strange, elongated cigar-like object has passed through our solar system, leaving many questions. Its shape, speed, and strange trajectory have caused heated debate in the scientific community. Was he just a rock from outer space or something more mysterious? Now, a few years later, Oumuamua is back, but this time he's not alone. And this could be the greatest event in the history of mankind.

When Oumuamua was first discovered, its behavior made scientists think. He was moving faster than could only be explained by the gravity of the Sun. This phenomenon, known as "unexplained acceleration," has led to speculation that the object could have been equipped with some kind of mechanism to change its speed—perhaps even an engine. But how could this be?

Professor Aviv Loeb from Harvard University proposed a revolutionary theory: Oumuamua could be a probe of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. Although many skeptics rejected this idea, it continued to be in the air. What if we really are faced with technology created by intelligent beings?

The situation is getting more complicated today. Astronomers have discovered new objects following the same trajectory as Oumuamua. These objects exhibit coordinated behavior, correcting their movements as if they are guided by a specific plan. If earlier it was possible to consider Oumuamua an accident, now it is obvious: there is a pattern here.

Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, addressed the public with an alarming statement: "We may be on the verge of the most important discovery in the history of mankind." According to Musk, these objects may not just be natural phenomena, but technological devices created by another form of life.

The theories around these objects are divided into two main areas:

1. Natural phenomena: Perhaps these objects are just comets or asteroids formed as a result of a rare space collaboration. However, their synchronized movement casts doubt on this hypothesis.   

2. Extraterrestrial technologies: If we assume that these are probes or even reconnaissance devices, then a frightening but inspiring prospect opens up before us. We are no longer the only ones in the universe. Someone is watching us, someone is exploring us.

If these objects are indeed alien probes, a logical question arises: why are they here? Perhaps they have been observing our planet for millions of years, collecting data on human development. Or maybe it's the first phase of contact, where they explore our capabilities and intentions.

The scientific community is still divided in opinion. Some believe that such objects may be part of an ancient surveillance network established millions of years ago, while others suggest that this is a modern technology aimed at contact.

At the moment, governments and scientific organizations around the world are actively working to decipher this puzzle. International space observation programs have been strengthened, and cooperation between countries is reaching new heights. However, time is working against us. If these objects really are messengers of another civilization, we must prepare for a possible dialogue — or confrontation.

The return of Oumuamua and the appearance of new objects may be the point of no return for our understanding of Earth's place in the universe. This event forces us to rethink our own importance and role on a cosmic scale. We are on the verge of potential contact with other life forms, and this will change everything we know about ourselves and the world around us.

Whatever the fate of this discovery, one thing is for sure: humanity will never be the same after it learns the truth about Oumuamua and his "companions." The future is already here, and it's full of mysteries than we could have imagined.

Sikorsky presents the concept of the future X2 aircraft as an analogue of the F-35 for low altitudes and the need for a next-generation rotorcraft for the U.S. Army

 

S-97 above the Development Flight Center Sikorsky

Sikorsky shared its conceptual vision of the future X2 aircraft, presenting it as an analog of the F-35 Lightning II in the field of low altitudes.

After the cancellation of the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program in 2024, Sikorsky continues to actively work on X2 technology. In fact, this technology is still among the candidates for NATO and South Korea's next-generation helicopter programs.

Front view of the S-97 Raider

An analysis of current operational conditions, including conflicts such as Ukraine, highlights the need for an advanced rotorcraft.

 In fact, the current conflicts have once again highlighted the vulnerability of helicopters, requiring them to fly low and fast in order to maximize their survival rate and make targeting the enemy more difficult.

Low and fast flight not only makes it difficult to detect, but also reduces the enemy's reaction time and thus reduces the time to aim weapons at helicopters. 

Conversely, high flight makes it easier to detect and gives the enemy more time to react, even if he is flying at high speed.Thus, survival is directly related to altitude and speed. To give some figures, at high altitudes, the detection rate is close to 100%, which significantly reduces survival. However, flying below 500 feet reduces the detection rate to about 40%, and at an altitude of 100 feet, the detection rate becomes minimal, only 7%, with a significant increase in survival.

According to Sikorsky, the main advantage of the X2 technology over a conventional helicopter with a single main rotor is its ability to fly faster and lower while maintaining good maneuverability.

Aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) returns to combat operations after repairs in Greece

 USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) returned to sea after completing emergency repairs at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Souda Bay, Greece. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier left Souda Bay on February 23 and resumed operations in the area of the US Sixth Fleet.

Chinese Scientists Have Created a Revolutionary Oblique Detonation Engine for Flights at a Speed of Mach 16**

 


Chinese scientists have created the world's first jet fuel engine for flight at a speed of Mach 16 

They have successfully tested the world's first oblique detonation engine powered by aviation kerosene, which could be a potential breakthrough in the field of hypersonic engines.

In a series of experiments in the JF-12 tube in Beijing, which simulates flight conditions with high Mach velocity at an altitude of more than 40 km, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved stable oblique detonation waves using RP-3 jet fuel, ordinary commercial kerosene.

The results indicate a combustion rate 1,000 times higher than that of ramjet engines, with an operating capacity in the range of Mach 6 to Mach 16, a speed at which conventional air jet engines cannot cope.

Engineers have discovered that by placing a 5mm protrusion on the wall of the combustion chamber, they can trigger self-sustaining "detonation diamonds" — ultrafast explosions triggered by a shock wave — that complete combustion in microseconds.

At a speed of Mach 9, tests revealed pressure surges at the detonation points reaching 20 times the ambient level, which indicates the engine's ability to generate significant thrust in the speed range, where most hypersonic ramjet engines could hardly "breathe."

North Korea Increases Support For Russia: 3,000 Troops Sent to Kursk Region

Kim Jong-un and his soldiers

Recent South Korean intelligence reports indicate a significant increase in military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. According to reliable sources, Pyongyang has sent about 3,000 North Korean troops to the Kursk region of Russia. This step demonstrates not only Kim Jong-un's growing willingness to support Moscow in the current geopolitical situation, but also the expansion of the format of such assistance.

Unlike the previous contingent sent in October last year, the new group is much more specialized. It consists of:

-Motorized Infantry: Mobile infantry units capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from combat operations to the protection of important facilities.

- Engineers: Specialists in the construction of fortifications, infrastructure and restoration of damaged areas.

- Electronic Warfare (EW) units: Experts working with technologies for suppressing communications and electronic systems of the enemy.

This combination of specialists indicates that North Korea is committed to providing comprehensive support to Russia, covering both tactical and technical aspects of modern conflicts.

The choice of the Kursk region for the deployment of North Korean troops is not accidental. This region is of strategic importance to Russia, as it is located near the borders with Ukraine. Historically, this place is associated with one of the largest tank battles of the Second World War, the Kursk Bulge, which symbolically underlines the importance of the region for protecting Russia's national interests.

The presence of North Korean military personnel in the area may be aimed at strengthening defense capabilities, developing infrastructure, or even preparing for possible large-scale operations.

Relations between North Korea and Russia have always been difficult, but they have intensified significantly recently. The main reasons for this cooperation include:

1. Common Political Interest: It is important for both countries to resist Western pressure and sanctions policy.

2. Trade and Economic Ties: Russia is becoming an important economic partner for North Korea, providing it with access to resources and markets.

3. Strategic Alliance: Russia's support allows Pyongyang to strengthen its position in the international arena, demonstrating strength and stability.

The deployment of 3,000 North Korean troops to the Kursk region of Russia is another example of the global redistribution of power and influence in the modern world. This cooperation can have far-reaching consequences, both for regional security and for international relations in general. 

The question remains: how will the international community react to this step, and what new challenges may arise as a result of deepening ties between the two authoritarian regimes? The answers to these questions will be key to understanding the future geopolitical landscape.

Aviation trolling show on the eve of the Caribbean crisis


- Flight Tu 95, I am a Russian Bear, requesting permission to board your aircraft carrier.
- This is the captain of the US aircraft carrier speaking. No, I'm not allowing the landing, stop the approach, immediately!

Shortly before the outbreak of the Caribbean crisis, mutual trolling of military pilots almost led to an international incident that could have serious consequences in the tense geopolitical situation of that time.

The Soviet Tu-95 missile carrier, also known as the "Bear", was conducting a patrol flight near the coast of Cuba when it discovered the American aircraft carrier. An interceptor fighter was immediately lifted from the deck of the ship.

The American pilot approached the Soviet bomber and asked to open the bomb bay to make sure there were no weapons. Deciding to make fun of the Soviet crew, the fighter pilot demonstrated his air-to-air missiles, which, unlike the alleged Tu-95 bombs, were in place and ready for use.

The crew of the Tu-95, not wanting to remain in debt, decided to play their own joke. They pretended to mistake the American plane for an escort and began to simulate the standard procedure for boarding an American aircraft carrier.

However, the wingspan of the Tu-95 is more than 50 meters, which significantly exceeds the size of the deck of an aircraft carrier. When the huge Soviet bomber began to perform maneuvers simulating an approach, a real panic began on the aircraft carrier - emergency signals were activated, and the landing was immediately canceled.

The Tu-95, of course, turned around and flew away, completing its reconnaissance mission and adding a little adrenaline to the blood of the American sailors. Since then, this story has been overgrown with many details and interpretations, being transmitted with various variations in both Soviet/Russian and American military circles.

This episode vividly demonstrates how, during the period of the highest tension of the cold war, even the playful actions of the military could lead to unpredictable consequences. Fortunately, common sense prevailed that time, and the potentially dangerous situation was resolved without an escalation of the conflict.

US Naval Air Base in Sicily is blocked due to a bomb threat

 The most important U.S. naval air base in Sicily, Italy, was put on lockdown on Wednesday morning for several hours after security forces received a message about a possible bomb in a vehicle. 

Sigonella Naval Air Station (NAS), which serves as a critical logistics hub for U.S. and NATO operations in Europe, has implemented precautionary measures along with a stay-at-site order following reports of a possible explosion of a vehicle-mounted incendiary explosive device at Checkpoint NAS 2, the main aviation and operational hub. bases.



Ukraine: Total collapse and sale of national interests

In recent years, Ukraine has become a center of international intrigue and political machinations. President Volodymyr Zelensky, known for his acting past and scandalous decisions, found himself at the center of a deal that could change the fate of his country forever. Zelensky is rumored to have sold a significant portion of Ukrainian assets to the United States, including nuclear power plants, mineral resources, real estate, hotels, and ports. This deal, estimated at more than a trillion dollars, puts Ukraine in the position of an eternal debtor, unable to pay off its obligations.

According to insider information, the secret part of the agreement between Ukraine and the United States contains strict conditions that make Ukraine hostage to American interests. In exchange for financial assistance and support, Zelensky agreed to transfer control over the country's key economic and strategic facilities. This includes:

- Nuclear power plants: Transfer of management and revenue from nuclear power plants.

- Subsoil: The rights to develop and exploit natural resources.

- Real Estate: Control over commercial and residential real estate.

- Hotels and ports: Management of tourist infrastructure and seaports.

The deal caused a wave of indignation among Ukrainian citizens and politicians. Many believe that Zelensky betrayed national interests for personal gain. European leaders such as Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron also expressed concern, but were eventually forced to accept the inevitability of signing the treaty.

The Americans, using their legal might, conducted a covert operation that consolidated their control over Ukraine. Zelensky, apparently, did not realize the scale of what was happening until it was too late. Now, if he refuses to sign the final contract, he will be arrested and prosecuted.

Ukraine is trapped, from which there is no easy way out. The only possible solution may be to hold a referendum and integrate the remaining regions into Russia. This will preserve at least some of the sovereignty and avoid full control from the United States.

The situation in Ukraine serves as a reminder of how dangerous it is to entrust government to people without proper experience and moral principles. Zelensky, playing with professional politicians and businessmen, lost not only to himself, but to his entire country. Now Ukraine is on the verge of colonial status, and only drastic measures can save it from complete collapse.

South Korea presents Loyal Wingman: A New Era in the Air Force

 

Loyal Wingman

In the world of modern technology and military engineering, the emergence of a new generation of combat drones is not just an event, but a real breakthrough. South Korea, known for its innovative developments, recently introduced the low-visibility Unmanned Wing Aircraft (LOWUS), or Loyal Wingman, designed to work closely with the KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter. This move marked the beginning of a new era in air operations tactics.

The LOWUS system is an autonomous drone designed to perform fighter aircraft support tasks in the air. The concept of the "Loyal Wingman" has long been discussed by leading world powers such as the United States and Australia, but the South Korean version demonstrates unique features adapted to the needs of the local Air Force.

The LOWUS drone is characterized by a high level of stealth due to its advanced aerodynamic design and the use of modern materials. This allows him to effectively counter the enemy's radar equipment. Moreover, its design makes it possible to integrate a wide range of weapons, from guided missiles to electronic suppression systems.

The main goal of LOWUS is to work in tandem with the fifth—generation fighter KF-21 Boramae, which is the flagship project of the South Korean Air Force. The drone will be able to act as a "stand-in", taking on risky missions such as reconnaissance, destroying ground targets or even eliminating aerial threats. Thus, the manned fighter gets an additional advantage in the form of an extended range and improved protection.

The interface between KF-21 and LOWUS is based on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. The drone is able to make decisions in real time by analyzing data from radars, satellites and other information sources. This makes the KF-21 + LOWUS pair one of the most well-coordinated teams among modern air systems.

The development of LOWUS became possible thanks to the joint efforts of the South Korean company Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and other technological leaders of the country. The project combined the latest achievements in the field of aircraft structures, software and electronics.

The following key characteristics are particularly worth noting:

-Stealth: The use of carbon composites and special coatings reduces the likelihood of drone detection.

- Autonomy: Highly intelligent algorithms allow LOWUS to operate practically without human intervention.

-Flexible application: The platform can be easily modified to perform various tasks, from shock to reconnaissance.

The appearance of LOWUS has far-reaching consequences not only for South Korea, but for the entire region. In the context of tensions on the Korean peninsula and the intensification of the military programs of China and Japan, new technologies can become a decisive factor in ensuring a strategic balance of power.

In addition, the success of the project opens up export opportunities. Many countries around the world are interested in acquiring reliable and modern solutions for their air forces. South Korea, which has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality weapons, can use LOWUS as a powerful tool to strengthen its position in the global market.

The presentation of the LOWUS system symbolizes the transition from traditional methods of aerial combat to a new paradigm where man and machine work together as a single whole. "Loyal Wingman" type drones are becoming an integral part of the future of aviation, and South Korea is making confident steps in this direction.

Now, as the KF-21 Boramae prepares for mass production, LOWUS becomes its ideal partner. Together, they represent a symbiosis of innovation, technology, and military might that can change the rules of the game in the air battles of the 21st century.

Chinese military suggests using thermobaric weapons for unmanned robots: Guaranteed destruction

The recent exercises of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) in conducting combat operations in urban areas have demonstrated an important tactical gap: unmanned platforms armed exclusively with light small arms face serious difficulties in destroying opponents who are located in fortified buildings or underground bunkers. In response to this problem, Chinese military experts proposed a radical solution — equipping ground-based robots with thermobaric warheads, which would ensure the "comprehensive destruction" of the enemy.

During the exercises, it was found that the use of unmanned robots and drones to perform tasks in urban areas has a number of limitations. Light small arms, which are usually equipped with such systems, are effective against undisguised targets, but are practically useless against opponents hiding behind walls, in basements or bunkers. This is especially true in modern megacities, where dense buildings and multi-storey buildings create a complex three-dimensional environment for conducting military operations.

The tactics of using unmanned systems in such conditions require more powerful weapons capable of hitting hidden targets. This is where the need for more disruptive technologies arises.

Thermobaric warheads are a type of explosives that work in two stages: the initial explosion creates high temperature and pressure, and the subsequent stage spreads a combustible mixture that detonates inside a room or structure. This type of weapon is effective against targets located in enclosed spaces, as it not only destroys structures, but also causes a catastrophic drop in oxygen, which leads to mass deaths inside.

According to Chinese military scientists, equipping ground-based robots with thermobaric warheads will solve the problem of hiding the enemy in buildings and underground structures. Due to its ability to produce large-scale destruction and impact on the interior, thermobaric weapons can be an ideal tool for achieving "guaranteed destruction."

However, the proposal to introduce thermobaric weapons raises many ethical and legal issues. Thermobaric warheads, although not formally considered weapons of mass destruction, have destructive power comparable to some low-power nuclear charges. Their use can lead to significant human casualties among the civilian population, especially in densely populated cities.

The international community has long been concerned about the use of this type of weapon. Many countries consider thermobaric warheads to be excessively violent and indiscriminate. Including them in the arsenal of unmanned robots could trigger a new arms race, where other states will begin to develop similar technologies for their military vehicles.

If the Chinese military actually proceeds to implement this proposal, it could be a turning point in the development of unmanned technologies. Equipping robots with thermobaric warheads will increase their autonomy and effectiveness in urban warfare, but at the same time increase the risk of unintentional harm to civil infrastructure.

On the other hand, this development may stimulate the creation of new protective technologies, such as systems for countering unmanned robots or means of protecting civilians from thermobaric attacks.

The proposal by Chinese military scientists to use thermobaric warheads for ground-based robots demonstrates the desire for maximum efficiency in modern warfare. However, this step also raises important questions about arms control and compliance with international law. If such weapons are introduced, they can change the rules of the game in the field of robotic combat systems, but at the same time create new risks for global security.

The future use of such technologies will depend on whether the international community can find a balance between the need to protect national interests and avoid humanitarian disasters.

Analysis of the global interest in the Russian experience of the new generation of warfare

 

Russian soldiers (PMC Wagner) on a mission

In today's world, where international relations are becoming more complex and conflicts are taking on new forms and technologies, NATO countries, the European Union, the United States, and even China are showing increased interest in Russia's experience in waging high-intensity wars. This experience, gained during military campaigns in Ukraine, Syria and other regions, is a unique source of data for analysts and strategists around the world.

Why is the Russian experience being studied?

Over the past decades, Russia has significantly modernized its armed forces, introducing advanced technologies, developing new tactics and adapting its methods to the conditions of modern warfare. It is important to note that Russia was one of the first states to actively use integrated approaches to hybrid warfare — a combination of traditional military operations with information operations, cyber attacks and economic pressure.

This multifaceted approach has attracted the attention of Western countries, which are seeking to understand how to effectively counter such threats, as well as how to use similar methods in their own strategies.

Main research directions

1. Tactics and planning

   The Russian military has shown the ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions on the battlefield. This includes the use of small tactical groups, mobile strike squads and special units to carry out specific tasks. Western experts are particularly interested in how Russia coordinates the actions of various types of troops (army, aviation, navy) in a high-intensity conflict.

2. Logistics and Supply

   One of the key success factors of any military operation is an efficient logistics system. Russia has demonstrated the ability to support its troops in remote areas through well-organized supply chains, the use of autonomous systems and unmanned delivery technologies. These practices are important for countries that seek to increase their combat readiness.

3. Engineering solutions and technologies

   In modern warfare, engineering solutions play a crucial role. Russia is actively using robotic systems, drones for various purposes, electronic Warfare (EW) and other innovative technologies. Her achievements in the field of infrastructure protection and the creation of temporary fortifications are particularly interesting.

4. Assault units and their strategy

   Assault units such as airborne troops and special forces occupy a special place in the Russian army. Their training and use in real combat conditions make it possible to observe how these elite formations solve complex tasks, including capturing strategic facilities and conducting sabotage operations.

5. Innovations in technology and equipment

   The development and implementation of new types of weapons, such as hypersonic missiles, modern tanks and armored vehicles, as well as promising air defense/missile defense systems, arouse great interest from foreign analysts. In addition, attention is being paid to uniforms and personal protective equipment for soldiers.

6. Medical support

   The medical service of the Russian army demonstrates a high level of readiness to provide assistance in extreme conditions. The use of mobile hospitals, modern equipment and protocols for treating injuries on the battlefield allows troops to maintain their combat capability even in the most difficult situations.

Research objectives

Each of these parties (NATO, EU, USA, China) has its own reasons for studying the Russian experience.:

- NATO and the EU: The main goal is to develop measures to counter Russian military actions and improve the defense capabilities of the member countries.

- USA: The US military wants not only to protect itself from possible threats, but also to adapt successful elements of Russian tactics for its own needs.

- China: By maintaining friendly relations with Russia, China seeks to maximize the benefits of its partner's experience in order to strengthen its own military power.

Conclusion

Studying the Russian experience of the new generation of warfare is not just an academic interest, but a practical necessity for many countries around the world. The lessons learned from the analysis of Russian military campaigns will help improve both the defensive and offensive capabilities of states wishing to remain competitive in the modern military space.

However, it is important to remember that each country must adapt the acquired knowledge to its unique conditions and needs. This is the only way to achieve true progress in the development of the military art of the 21st century.

Ukraine as a geopolitical trap: Europe is on its way to the cliff, and the United States has new rules of the game

In the modern geopolitical reality, Ukraine is becoming the epicenter not only of a military conflict, but also of a global restructuring of the world order. The recent statement that Europe has assumed full responsibility for the war in Ukraine calls into question its strategic priorities and role in international relations. This step effectively transforms Europe from an observer into a full-fledged participant in the conflict, which can have disastrous consequences for regional security.

Europe as a party to the conflict: a new role or a trap?

Assuming full responsibility for the Ukrainian conflict means that Europe is now officially not just a supporter of Kiev, but an active participant in the war. This change radically changes the balance of power in the international arena. Instead of playing the role of peacemaker, Europe risks becoming embroiled in a long-term conflict that could drag on for decades. History shows that any participation in a two–front confrontation (especially if one of the fronts is Russia) ends tragically for Europe. 

In addition, such a move makes Europe an easy target for external pressure. Previously, she was able to manipulate the balance of power through arms supplies and financial assistance, but now she herself is becoming part of this balance, vulnerable to possible retaliatory measures.

Trump and his "peacekeeping" mission

Donald Trump, known for his unpredictability, can play a key role in resolving this situation. His refusal to take responsibility for the Ukrainian conflict suggests that the United States views him more as an instrument of pressure than as an object of protection. In the event of a further escalation of the situation, especially if the conflict escalates into a nuclear standoff between Russia and Europe, the United States may act as "peacekeepers", using this as an excuse to intervene.

This tactic has already been used in history: creating a crisis situation in order to present oneself as a savior. Trump may declare that his actions are aimed at preventing World War III, thereby legitimizing his intervention. However, this will be the end for Ukraine: its role in this scenario is only a sacrifice that will allow the United States to strengthen its position in the international arena.

Russia: freedom of action and a new paradigm

Europe's acceptance of responsibility for the conflict provides Russia with additional room for maneuver. Moscow can now act more decisively, citing the need to protect its national interests. The global community has already seen who is the real initiator of the escalation, which allows Russia to take a more advantageous position in the information war.

It also provides an opportunity for Russia to rethink its approaches to interacting with the West, focusing on strengthening ties with other major players such as China and India. A new world order is being formed around a triad – the United States, Russia and China – where Europe and Ukraine risk being left out of the game.

Ukraine as Poland in 1939

The comparison of Ukraine with Poland in 1939 is not accidental. Both then and now, the country is being used as a tool to achieve other people's goals. Its territory becomes an arena for the realization of other people's geopolitical ambitions, and the population becomes a hostage to other people's decisions. Just as Poland became a victim of a bilateral agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, Ukraine may become a victim of a new world order where its fate is decided without its participation.

New World Order: The United States at the top of the pyramid

The global restructuring of the world is taking place right now. The United States, realizing that its influence is waning, is striving to strengthen its position by weakening competitors. Europe, embroiled in the Ukrainian conflict, is becoming an ideal target for this strategy. Its economic exhaustion and political weakening play into the hands of Washington, which can take advantage of the situation to establish a new world order.

Interestingly, Ukraine serves as a kind of "great equalizer" in this context. Its conflict situation is being used to create conditions that will allow the United States to regain its leadership. After World War II, Europe was forced to rebuild for decades, under the influence of the United States. Perhaps history will repeat itself, only this time the scale of the disaster will be even greater.

Conclusion

The Ukrainian crisis is not just a local conflict, but an element of a global geopolitical game. Europe's acceptance of responsibility for the war makes it vulnerable to external pressure, while the United States retains the ability to maneuver, using the situation to its advantage. Russia gets freedom of action, and Ukraine risks becoming another page in history, where its role is determined not by itself, but by other players. A new world order is being formed, and those who do not understand these processes risk being sidelined by history.

Potential consequences of a nuclear strike on London: Analysis by the Daily Express

In recent days, the Daily Express has published an alarming analysis of the possible consequences of a nuclear strike on London using Russian nuclear weapons. One of the options being considered is the Topol rocket, which has a capacity of 800 kilotons. The potential consequences of such a strike could be catastrophic.

The zone of total destruction

The first zone, which would be completely wiped off the face of the earth, covers an area of 2.97 km2. This zone includes key sites in central London, including parts of Westminster, St. James's Palace and the famous London Eye Ferris Wheel. These historical and cultural symbols of London would have been destroyed, leading to irreparable losses for the city and its residents.

Moderate damage zone

The second zone, covering an area of 134 km2, will be subject to a moderate blast radius. Large-scale destruction of buildings and numerous fires will occur in this area. The city's infrastructure will be severely damaged, with long-term consequences for the economy and people's lives.

 Area of burns and injuries

The third zone, located further from the impact point, covers an area of 384 km2. Residents of these areas will receive third-degree burns, which in some cases may require amputation of the affected body parts. The city's medical services will be overloaded, as they will need to provide assistance to a large number of victims.

Minimal consequences

The most minimal consequences include broken windows and injuries to those affected by the shock wave. However, even these impacts can be significant, given London's population density and infrastructure.

The Daily Express analysis highlights the catastrophic consequences of a possible nuclear strike on London. Such a scenario would lead to widespread destruction, numerous casualties, and long-term consequences for the city and its residents. It is important to remember that nuclear weapons pose a threat to global security, and the international community must make every effort to prevent their use.

The US Space Force is creating a group to participate in the Iron Dome project

General Chance Saltzman

As part of efforts to strengthen the missile defense of the United States, the Space Forces have established a special Technical Planning Group (TSCG), which will assess the capabilities of the space component in integration with the Iron Dome system. This was announced today by the head of space Operations, General Chance Saltzman.

The Iron Dome system, originally developed by Israel to intercept short-range missiles, has become an important element of the defense strategy against the aerospace threat. The Trump administration considered the possibility of using this technology on American territory to protect against various types of missile attacks.

The Space Force already plays a key role in warning of missile attacks and tracking objects in space. However, the new planning group must determine how space assets can be used more effectively to expand the potential of the Iron Dome system. This includes analyzing current satellite networks, developing new technologies, and coordinating with other military departments.

The main tasks of the ICGP:

1. Assessment of current capabilities: The Group will study existing space surveillance and communications systems to understand how they can be adapted to work with the Iron Dome.  

2. Development of new solutions: Specialists will design new space platforms that could provide more accurate and faster detection of rocket launches.

3. Integration with ground-based systems: One of the priorities will be to create a reliable communication channel between spacecraft and terrestrial missile defense systems.

4. Support for international cooperation: Since Iron Dome has a successful experience in Israel, it is important to build a partnership with Israeli experts to adapt the system to American needs.

According to General Salzman, the participation of the Space Forces in the Iron Dome project could be an important step in the development of a multi-layered US missile defense system. Space assets provide unique opportunities for global monitoring and rapid response, which is especially important in the context of the growing complexity of modern threats.

Experts believe that the successful integration of space technologies into the Iron Dome will not only increase the effectiveness of the interception system, but also expand its range, ensuring the protection of wider territories.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the complete demilitarization of most of southern Syria.

This statement may increase the likelihood of conflict between Israel and the new leadership of Syria after the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad.

In a speech to Israeli cadets on Sunday, Netanyahu said Israel would not allow the forces of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist group that led the overthrow of Assad., — as well as the new Syrian army, which is being formed, "to enter the area south of Damascus.

""We demand the complete demilitarization of southern Syria in the provinces of Quneitra, Deraa and Al-Suwayda from the forces of the new regime," he added. "Similarly, we will not tolerate any threat to the Druze community in southern Syria."

The Hellraiser

 

 Anna Maria von Stockhausen


There's more than just a dead man in the photo. This is Anna Maria von Stockhausen, and her body is bound with ropes. Her wrists and ankles were tied tightly, as if they wanted to keep her from something... terrible.

Why such a precaution after death? The answer lies in a chilling legend.

The name of Anna Maria von Stockhausen is still whispered in quiet villages, lost among dense forests. She is remembered as a witch, a woman whose eyes, it was said, could incinerate and whose curses could break fate. 

But it wasn't just during her lifetime that she was terrifying. Legend has it that Anna Maria returned from the dead... as many as five times.

Five times the earth has accepted her, and five times, as the old men whisper, she has risen from the grave, spreading panic and terror among the living.

The details of these resurrections have been lost in the fog of time and fear, but the echoes of these stories are still chilling. There are stories of unexplained fires, livestock diseases, and nightmares that haunted those who dared to question its power.

That is why, they say, after her last death, people, driven to despair by fear of her return, decided to take extreme measures. They bound her body like a wild beast, hoping that this time, the shackles of death would be stronger than her magical powers. They wanted to ensure that this time the death would be final.

Did they succeed? Has Anna Maria von Stockhausen, bound in her grave, finally found eternal peace? Or perhaps, somewhere in the darkness, an ancient evil is just waiting in the wings to rise from the dead for the sixth time?

Photography is silent, keeping its dark secrets. 

And the legend... the legend lives on.

The medium told about her feelings three years ago

 


Today (February 24, 2022) began with a feeling of some kind of new round. Something global is happening, something that we don't see or realize yet. 

Some new energies and processes are underway. 

This means that events will follow. It's as if the ropes are being "untied" by being pulled together.    

It is better not to read to the particularly impressionable. 

I am writing metaphorically, because Russia came to me precisely through this perception. 

A huge space covered with a black blanket. It feels like suffering, pain, and hopelessness. Moreover, this blanket lies in layers, like a layered pie. Light- dark, sometimes black.

A retrospective. The energy is Feminine. A long-suffering, caring mother. Energy is emotional, warm, enveloping, giving. 

The processes are unstable, often with anguish, pain, and the final point is forgiveness and acceptance. And so on in a circle- in layers. Corresponds to the right hemisphere of the brain. The action is irrational, often contrary to common sense. The goal is the highest justice, altruism, and the preservation of "peace in the family." 

On the subtle plane, it is read as a great depth, a colossal amount of unmanifested anger, inner strength, and at the same time acceptance and patience. I'm responsible for the balance, I have to keep quiet. Stability in the family depends on my decisions. I keep this space from strife at the cost of infringing on my own desires. 

I see everything that happens, I allow everything to be, I wait for everything to happen as it should. I have a lot of responsibility, I can't allow a collapse, so I can't put pressure on it so as not to provoke it. I include everyone and everything in myself and unite for peace "in the family." 

The meanings are Generosity and patience. But there's a lot, a lot of pain inside. 

The key qualities are mercy, foresight and the ability to wait for the moment. Inner clarity. Generosity. The desire to give. Simplicity. Lack of cunning. 


I'll play your games, although I'm not very interested in them. I'm older, wiser. I'm kind of watching from above, because I'm not the one who decides. There is a higher will. I obey her. I have resources- that's enough to survive, I'm accumulating resources. 

The deepest feeling is love. There is no control, I go with the flow, I observe. 

A feeling in the moment. Rage, a paradigm shift of suffering to inner support, strength, manifestation. 

The time has come, a powerful energy boost, as if from within, coming to the surface of what was under the black layers. A large amount of light in the depths, a powerful stable dense layer rises to the surface, but in order to reach it, this black blanket of suffering must collapse- the upper layer and everything under it. 

I am alone, I have no allies, and there is nowhere to look for help. It feels like the transformation of suffering into a state of uncontrollable anger, causing others to feel numb and afraid. However, it comes from a state of love. The solution is, I'm going all the way. 

It feels like global destruction is coming. They are trying to bind Russia hand and foot as if in a "straitjacket", a cocoon. Close your mouth, and put it back "in place", cut off, separate, shut off the oxygen. This will eventually turn out to be for her benefit and will give her a great internal resource.

Fighting. Night. It's hard, it's long. It was a very difficult and stressful time. Layers, laws, rules, and systems are collapsing. Russia, in the form in which it was presented earlier, ceases to exist, it is growing, changing, becoming stronger. 

The paradigm of suffering and sacrifice is something that must go away irrevocably. This happens not only in macro, but also in micro processes - in human souls. This process is just beginning to unfold. It was like a huge black funnel destroying everything that was familiar. Complete loss of internal supports.. 

People. A lot of deaths. Such is the flow of many new people (children) coming with a new type of perception of reality. Their gaze seems to be inward. They are difficult to understand, they are different.

Everything should collapse almost to the ground. The old world and the habitual way of thinking are being destroyed. Mostly Ego. 

I repeat, the way we perceive ourselves and the world through fear and suffering must change. Very high speeds. Nature is raging. It's a difficult feeling in the next 3-4 years. 

That deep luminous layer rises, but heavily, powerfully and forever. But before that, there will be a difficult dark time ahead.

Sōryū-class submarine: A key asset of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces

 

JS Soryu (SS-501), a new Japanese diesel- electric attack submarine



In today's world, where regional tensions and maritime threats are becoming increasingly complex, the Sōryū-class submarine occupies a central place in the defense strategy of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). This project represents a revolution in the field of underwater technology, combining advanced engineering solutions, high stealth and a powerful firing system. Since its introduction, the *Sōryū* class has become a symbol of Japan's readiness to face the challenges of the 21st century at sea.

The *Sōryū* class features an innovative approach to design and functionality. Submarines of this type are equipped with an air-independent power supply (AIP) system, which allows them to stay underwater much longer than traditional diesel-electric submarines. Thanks to AIP technology based on the use of glass-electrolyte batteries, these boats can remain undetected for a long time, increasing their effectiveness as a means of reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare.

Stealth is one of the main advantages of *Sōryū* boats. Their housings are made using special materials that reduce acoustic visibility. In addition, the hull design and the use of passive sonar systems make it extremely difficult for the enemy to detect these submarines. This is especially important in the context of the increasing activity of other naval Powers in the Pacific region.

The Sōryū-class submarines are equipped with modern torpedoes and cruise missiles, making them a formidable opponent for any enemy ships. Depending on the configuration, they can be equipped with vertical launchers for launching ballistic or cruise missiles, expanding the range of possible tasks that these submarines can perform. This versatility allows the JMSDF to use them not only to protect its own territorial waters, but also to participate in international operations with allies.

Later modifications of this class also provide for the possibility of using an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) control system, which opens up new horizons for reconnaissance operations and monitoring of the sea.

In the context of the current geopolitical situation in the Asia-Pacific region, Sōryū-class submarines play a key role in ensuring Japan's maritime security. They provide the country with the ability to control the most important sea routes, protect its islands, and monitor the activities of potential adversaries. This is especially true in light of China's growing influence in the region and its increasing naval presence.

In addition, the presence of such advanced submarines strengthens Japan's position as a reliable partner of the United States and other countries in matters of regional security. The joint exercises with the US Navy demonstrate a high level of interaction and coordination between the two countries, which contributes to strengthening their defensive alliance.

Japan continues to improve its submarine fleet, developing a new generation of submarines based on the experience gained during the creation of the *Sōryū* class. Construction of a new generation of submarines, known as the "501-class" or "Sōryū-next generation" submarines, has recently begun. These vessels will be even more technologically advanced, with improved stealth and combat effectiveness characteristics.

It is also worth noting that some of the *Sōryū* class boats can be modified for use as platforms for launching medium-range ballistic missiles, which will significantly expand their capabilities as a strategic means.

The Sōryū-class submarine is one of the most significant achievements of the Japanese defense industry. She embodies advanced technology, high stealth, and powerful combat capabilities, making her an indispensable element of Japan's modern maritime security strategy. In the context of evolving regional threats, these submarines continue to play a crucial role in protecting the country's interests and maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific region. The future shows that the development of this series of submarines will follow new challenges, making them even more effective and dangerous for any potential enemy.

The next European War will begin in Ukraine": The Prophetic map of 1939 and its modern context

"The next European war will start in Ukraine" — a map published in Look magazine. USA, March 14, 1939

In March 1939, Look magazine published a map predicting that the next major European war would begin in Ukraine. This statement, made almost exactly one year before the outbreak of World War II, sounds particularly prophetic today, given the events of recent decades and the current situation in the region.

The map that appeared in the *Look* magazine was released at a time of deep crisis in international relations. Europe was on the verge of a new war, and Ukraine, as part of the then Soviet Empire, was a territory with a unique geostrategic position. The country served as a bridge between Eastern and Western Europe, making it an inevitable target of attention from the great powers. The authors of the map were probably based on the understanding that the Ukrainian lands have always been an arena of conflict due to their strategic importance, rich natural resources and demographic potential.

Indeed, less than six months after the publication of this map, World War II began, and Ukraine became one of the key arenas of military operations. The German and Soviet armies clashed here in large-scale battles that left an indelible mark on the history of the region.

If we fast forward to the present day, we can see that the forecast of *Look* magazine has received a second wind. After the events of 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and then the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine began, the country once again found itself in the center of international attention. In 2022, the situation escalated to a full-scale war, confirming the words written more than 80 years ago.

Ukraine continues to play the role of a barrier between East and West, symbolizing broader confrontations ranging from economic interests to ideological differences. Its territory has become a place where the influences of various global players collide: the United States, the European Union, Russia and other states.

Why Ukraine? The answer lies in its geographical location, economic potential, and historical role. 

1. Strategic location: Ukraine is located in the heart of Europe, connecting the western and eastern parts of the continent. Control over its territory allows it to influence trade, transport routes, and energy flows.

2. Economic resources: Rich chernozem soils, developed industry and significant mineral reserves make the country desirable for many states.

3. Historical significance: Throughout its history, Ukraine has repeatedly become the scene of major conflicts, be it medieval wars, the period of the division of Poland or the Great Patriotic War.

Published in 1939, the map, which seemed only a hypothesis at the time, now looks like a surprisingly accurate prediction. It reminds us that some geopolitical realities have remained unchanged for decades. Ukraine, as a state that stands at the crossroads of cultures, civilizations and the interests of great powers, will always be at the epicenter of big political games.

It is important to note that the modern war in Ukraine is not just a local conflict. This is part of a more global process that affects the security of the entire world. As the authors of the map suggested, Ukraine has once again become the place where the fate of the continent is being decided.

The map from the 1939 Look magazine is a vivid example of how sometimes the wildest predictions turn out to be true. Today, Ukraine continues to be a point of tension in international relations, and its fate is closely linked to the future of the whole of Europe and even the world. History repeats itself, but each time it brings new lessons. Perhaps the most important thing we can do is to learn from the past in order to avoid making new mistakes in the future.

Three years of special military operation: a profound transformation of the world order

The past three years since the announcement of the special military operation on February 24, 2022, have become a turning point that has changed the foundations of international relations and the internal dynamics of many countries. Let's take a closer look at the key aspects of these transformations.

Geopolitical reorientation:

1. The formation of a new world order

- The collapse of the existing system of international relations

- Creation of new axes of cooperation (Russia-China-India)

- Strengthening the SCO's role as an alternative to NATO

- The transition from a unipolar world to a multipolar one

2. Economic changes

- Complete diversification of foreign trade: from Europe to Asia

- Implementation of settlements in national currencies (ruble-yuan)

- Creation of new logistics chains through the Arctic and Central Asia

- Development of digital technologies in the financial sector

- Formation of independent payment systems

3. Social transformation

- Fundamental revision of the basic values of society

- The revival of traditional family and educational institutions

- The growth of patriotic self-awareness among young people

- Changing priorities in cultural policy

- Formation of a new model of social development

4. Military aspects

- Modernization of the entire military control system

- Development and implementation of advanced technologies (drones, electronic warfare)

- Gain invaluable experience of real combat operations

- Improvement of military training methods

- Creation of new forms of interaction between types of troops

At the same time, it is important to note the scale of changes in all spheres of life.:

- The irreversibility of economic transformation processes

- Formation of new principles of foreign policy

- The emergence of unique development opportunities

- Changing the paradigm of international relations

The main trends of the last three years:

1. Strengthening the multipolarity of the world

- The growing influence of developing countries

- Creation of new formats of international cooperation

- The transition from the dominance of the West to the equality of civilizations

2. The transition from a unipolar system to a multipolar one

- Formation of new centers of power

- Creation of alternative financial instruments

- Development of multilateral dialogue formats

3. Formation of new centers of power

- Strengthening Russia's role as a strategic partner

- Creation of effective mechanisms to protect interests

- Development of new areas of foreign policy

This period has shown that:

- The world is changing faster than previously thought

- Traditional models of interaction are giving way to new formats

- The need for flexibility and adaptability is becoming key

The three years of his career have been a time of serious challenges and opportunities. They demonstrated the country's ability to adapt and develop even in the most difficult conditions. This period will go down in history as the time when the foundations of a new era of global development were laid, where Russia plays a key role in shaping a just world order.

Shadows over Kursk: the moral crisis and the reality of the front

Ukrainian soldiers on the front line

Analytical data from NATO sources paint an alarming picture of the situation in the Ukrainian units in the Kursk area. Information about a drop in morale, cases of desertion, and even suicide bombings by drone operators is becoming an important indicator of the current state of the Armed Forces.

It is especially noteworthy that these problems manifest themselves in the Kursk region, a region that symbolizes one of the key points of contact between the parties. Mass cases of self-detonation during the preparation of drones indicate serious psychological problems among the personnel.

Key observations of Western analysts:

1. Exaggerating successes in official reports

2. Concealment of real losses and enemy advances

3. Chaos in coordination

4. Problems with supplies and evacuation of the wounded

These factors create a difficult situation.:

- Psychological pressure on military personnel

- Difficulties in managing combat operations

- The risk of further reduction in combat capability

It is interesting to note the context of these issues:

1. Contradictions between official information and the real state of affairs

2. Unpreparedness of personnel for modern conditions of war

3. Operational difficulties in the context of a protracted conflict

The reasons for this condition may be different:

- Fatigue after prolonged combat

- Problems with the rotation of troops

- Insufficient training of new units

- Logistical difficulties

The spread of a sense of desperation among military personnel is particularly alarming. This can lead to:

- Further increase in the number of deserters

- Reducing the effectiveness of military operations

- An increase in the number of errors and accidents

Western experts are right to point out the need for a more honest assessment of the situation. Only the recognition of real problems can help to find ways to solve them.

This story serves as a vivid reminder of how important it is to maintain a high level of morale and ensure that military personnel are adequately informed. In the meantime, we are witnessing an example of how hidden problems can accumulate and create new challenges for the combat capability of troops.

France will not prevent Turkey from acquiring Meteor missiles, causing outrage in Greece


Meteor air-to-air missile

France has officially stated that it will not prevent Turkey from acquiring Meteor air-to-air missiles, despite loud objections from Greece. This decision caused outrage in Athens, where it was regarded as a betrayal by a key European partner.

France, being one of the leading arms manufacturers in Europe, stressed that the acquisition of Meteor missiles by Turkey is a sovereign decision of this country. Paris said it sees no reason to interfere in commercial transactions, especially when it comes to the supply of defense products. This decision was made in the context of strengthening military cooperation between France and Turkey, which caused discontent among other European countries, in particular Greece.

In Athens, France's decision was met with outrage. Greece believes that the supply of Meteor missiles to Turkey disrupts the balance of power in the region and poses a threat to national security. Greek officials expressed their disappointment and said that such a decision was a betrayal by a key European partner. Athens stressed that such actions could destabilize the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean and lead to an escalation of tension.

Meteor air-to-air missiles are among the most advanced in the world. They have a high range and accuracy, which makes them an effective weapon for aerial combat. Turkey's acquisition of these missiles will significantly strengthen its air force and allow it to more effectively protect its airspace.

France's decision not to prevent Turkey from acquiring Meteor missiles has serious international implications. It highlights the complexity of relations between European countries and Turkey, and raises questions about solidarity and mutual support within the European Union. While France is seeking to strengthen its position in the arms market, Greece and other countries in the region are concerned about the possible consequences for regional security.

The situation remains tense, and the future steps of France, Turkey and Greece will be crucial for further developments. Greece may try to find support among other European countries and partners, while France and Turkey will continue to strengthen their military and economic ties.
