The bloc’s determination to obliterate a stable energy relationship with Russia, claiming it was over-reliant on one source, is a hypocrisy Lacking in resources and sandwiched between two energy superpowers, the EU has to play some basic geopolitical chess to keep the gas flowing and the lights on. But Brussels can’t even play checkers. EU energy ministers agreed last month to completely halt Russian gas imports by late 2027, ending what the bloc’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, called a “dependency” on Moscow. “Now, we’re turning off the tap for good,” she said. “Russia will no longer be able to use energy as a weapon against us.” It took two days for reality to set in. Economies run on energy, not good vibes, and with Russia ruled out as a supplier, the bloc has only one viable alternative: the US. “There is a growing concern, which I share, that we risk replacing one dependency with another,” Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen of Denmark told reporters. The “geopolitical turmoil”...

Robert Fico has blasted a regional prosecutor for closing investigations into weapons donations under the previous government Slovakia’s previous government left the country “completely naked” by donating fighter jets and anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Thursday. He accused prosecutors of refusing to acknowledge the damage and covering it up for political reasons. Slovakia handed over Soviet MiG-29 jets and S-300 missile systems to Ukraine in 2022-2023 under then-Prime Minister Eduard Heger to support Kiev’s war effort against Russia. Bratislava Region Prosecutor Rastislav Remet announced this week that three of four investigations into possible criminality of the donations have been closed. Remet claimed both weapons types offered little benefit to Slovakia’s national security while being costly to operate, so transferring them was efficient state property management. Fico called the reasoning senseless, noting the systems were “donated di...
More than 120 people have been killed in Washington’s “war on drugs” since September, according to media estimates American forces have carried out another strike on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, killing two people, the US Southern Command has said. In a statement posted on Friday, the body said the operation was conducted a day prior at the direction of its commander, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, and targeted a vessel “operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.” It did not provide details on which group it belonged to. The command claimed, citing intelligence data, that the boat was moving along “known narco-trafficking routes” and “was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.” No US military forces were harmed in the strike, the statement added. The command also released a video showing a small-sized boat hit by two explosions at an unspecified location. On Feb. 5, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Forc...
The attempts to link the late ultra-elite pedophile to Putin are absurd to the point of desperation ‘Not many people know zis’ – as Franz Liebkind, the demented Nazi hobby playwright character in ‘The Producers’, would have said – but Jeffrey ‘suicide-just-on-time’ Epstein really was a terrific Beluga whale . Or maybe a giant, shapeshifting, hypnotic killer squid . Or just Charlie Sheen . Impossible? Totally absurd? Absolutely delusional? Mais pas du tout (pardon my French, please)! Because deep down, you see – You do see it, right? – all of these things (and whatever you want to call Charlie) are the same. Namely, manifestations of Russia! And so was Jeffrey Epstein, at least according to a clearly coordinated, ‘the-memo-is-out’ wave of desperate nonsense released by Western propaganda outlets, such as the British Telegraph , the New York Post, the Daily Mail , and the Polish government . Ukrainian and Russian-exile info-warriors, meanwhile, are falling over themselves to jump on ...
The people have awakened and “see through the lies and fakes news” of the liberal elites, Kirill Dmitriev has said Poland’s attempt to change the narrative on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by announcing a planned probe into the alleged Moscow links of the late convicted sex offender will not succeed, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, has said. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a government meeting on Tuesday that “more and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.” Warsaw must investigate allegations of Epstein working for Moscow because they are “serious… for the security of the Polish state” and could mean that Russia possesses “compromising materials against many leaders still active today,” he claimed. In a post on X on Wednesday, Dmitriev rejected Tusk’s accusations, arguing...
Newly unsealed documents linked to the convicted sex offender have renewed scrutiny of the billionaire’s personal life and health-related dealings Bill Gates has apologized for his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying he was “foolish” to spend time with him. In an interview with 9 News Australia released on Wednesday, the billionaire Microsoft co-founder denied allegations raised in newly unsealed US Department of Justice records concerning his dealings with Epstein. The DOJ published the final tranche of documents related to Epstein, including his personal emails, last week. Some alleged that Gates had extramarital “sex with Russian girls” arranged via Epstein’s trafficking network and sought medication to treat a sexually transmitted infection afterward. Some documents suggest Gates may have leveraged Epstein’s network for health-related influence, with DOJ files citing meetings in which healthcare issues were discussed. Read more Pandemic sim...
