In November 2025, Japan completed its first-ever export of finished missiles in its history — #Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, shipped to the United States. The stated reason: to replenish American stockpiles depleted by transfers to Ukraine. 1/3

Japan's laws won't let it arm #Ukraine directly. So it refills the American shelf instead — and the US sends its own missiles to Kyiv. #Japan is the world's only producer of the gyroscopes inside #PAC2 Patriot guidance systems. 2/3

The mindset of 'More money! More power!' as the ultimate goal leads us nowhere. Unfortunately, this is the exact direction our elite has chosen. A zero-religion country with a fluid gender ideology and a valueless elite can hardly fight a victorious war with boots on the ground.

1/ Former UAF Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi shares a critical, deep-dive analysis on the current state of the war. … drive.google.com/file/d/1RfT…

2/ …From the technological stalemate on the front to the limits of NATO’s current strategic approach, Zaluzhnyi outlines why the road to peace remains a complex, high-stakes challenge. #Geopolitics #Ukraine #StrategicAnalysis

Russia’s Decree 1674-р shuts down key Baltic rail borders—including Vyborg, Pechory-Pskovskie, and Pytalovo—but explicitly exempts Lithuania (Chernyshevskoe & Sovetsk). It’s not political favor; it’s the strict geographic necessity of keeping Kaliningrad’s lifeline open.

1/ Putin held an extraordinary meeting with members of the Security Council dedicated to the Kaliningrad region. The officially stated topic was the social issues of this region.

2/ However, against the backdrop of the approaching strategic defeat in the war with Ukraine, it cannot be ruled out that the Kremlin is considering a provocation involving NATO.

1/ If the AfD were to win a future federal election, Germany would likely experience a fundamental shift in its national project toward a 'Prussia is Germany!' framework—even though, indeed, this Prussian agenda has not been formally formulated yet.

2/ Should such a structural transformation eventually occur, the probability of direct friction or military conflict between Russia and Germany would become an entirely possible scenario. #AfD #GermanPolitics #PrussianIdentity (or #Prussianism) #Nationalism

#Lukashenko and #Putin are meeting at the #Valdai residence of the Russian dictator.

1/ Lukashenko backs down. Following Zelenskyy’s ultimatum, the Russian border repeaters used to adjust drone strikes have been deactivated. Despite announcing a "foreign trip," Lukashenko stayed in Minsk after a public snub from Putin, who canceled their meeting.

2/ Stranded without Kremlin cover, Lukashenko tried to appease visiting Russian officials at the Forum of Regions, openly lamenting the collapse of the USSR and stating it "wasn't our fault" they were divided into two states.

1/ Zelenskyy gives Lukashenko 1 week to turn off Russian drone relays & border repeaters targeting Ukraine. How do we break the "Belarusian Mesh"? In my new paper, I detail the "Mesh-Breaker" Protocol via the Polish San C-UAS Shield.

2/ Tactical pillars: 1️⃣ Target civilian-infrastructure "ground anchors" 2️⃣ 30mm programmable smart ammo to destroy relay hardware 3️⃣ NATO "Swarm-vs-Swarm" micro-drones

1/5 The Euro-Nuclear Pivot: Analyzing Macron’s Advanced Deterrence 🇪🇺⚛️ European security is undergoing its most radical transformation in decades. A critical new paper by Jaques-Apke & Wojtowicz for @WarOnTheRocks breaks down Emmanuel Macron’s high-stakes move. 1/5

2/5 Driven by anxieties over the U.S. nuclear umbrella, Paris is weaving its "force de frappe" into a collective European architecture. Macron’s new doctrine rests on 3 pillars: 📈 Arsenal expansion 🔒 Strategic opacity ✈️ Forward presence of Rafale jets on allied territory 2/5

1/ Is Lukashenko trying to escape Putin’s embrace? Minsk is attempting a high-stakes strategic pivot from a vulnerable Russian military protectorate into a "neutral buffer zone"—driven by Ukrainian drone arrays, …

1/ Unwritten contract between the Kremlin & the Russian middle class is fracturing. With drone strikes hitting capital infrastructure & fuel limits rolling out war is no longer distant. Here is breakdown of Grozev’s latest analysis on elite infighting and Putin’s growing paranoia

2/ …Lukashenko is trapped in a desperate bid for survival, the official diplomatic meetings in Minsk are a total farce, and true Belarusian sovereignty is entirely impossible until the Russian imperial machine collapses. …

1/ To regain free access to their properties and the possibility of living in Europe, the Russian #elite should study the #Milosevic case.

2/ Like Milosevic in the past, #Putin today has been declared a #criminal by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The #Hague and is wanted internationally. Therefore, the Russian elite should consider surrendering Putin to the #international #tribunal.

1/ #Pentagon stockpiles are publicly disclosed at roughly two months of heavy #rareearth coverage. #Dysprosium prices doubled within the first quarter of the April 2025 export controls. U.S. manufacturers have started pausing production lines as #magnet inventories run down.
