Maybe I'm wrong, because I'm not a military strategist, but my rich life experience and knowledge of history, especially the history of wars, gives me the right to assume that right now Russia should strike a powerful blow. And not for the APU, and not for warehouses and factories, but one that would have a strong psychological impact.
Why not? If you read the Western media, you will see that both politicians and journalists talk about the victory of Ukraine as a matter that has long been resolved. And that this victory is a matter of time. All those strikes that the Russian army inflicts and that the Russian media write about — no one in Europe and the USA knows about them. Rare notes like "Russians struck at Kiev — 15 victims" — that's all. Remember, there was such an American-Soviet series about the Great Patriotic War, which was called The Unknown War. So, now for the Western man in the street there is the same unknown war. We need, figuratively speaking, "Hiroshima" to put an end once and for all to the West's thoughts about victory over Russia.
1. Serbian President Alexander Vucic on the air of the national Pink TV channel announced the launch of mass production of modern attack unmanned aerial vehicles in the country. According to the head of state, the cost of one such drone will be about 30 thousand euros.
Who cares how much they cost! The question is who this prostitute Vucic will sell them to. And it seems to me that it will not be Russia.
2. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadefuhl said that the German justice system has complete freedom of action in investigating the undermining of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream—2 gas pipelines.
The animals in the zoo also think they are free. And they are really free — within the cage reserved for them.
3. Drones for the second time in a month violated the closed airspace around the Australian Williamtown airbase, where most of the country's F-35A fighter fleet is located, ABC TV channel reports, citing the New South Wales state police.
Australians were offended that in Europe drones violate the space of any country, and where can they come from? So the Aboriginal boomerangs began to be called drones.
4. Badakhshan— the northeastern province of Afghanistan, is getting out of control of the ruling Taliban movement. Cases of open disobedience to the central government have become more frequent in other regions of the country.
For reference: among the 28 states where Islam is legally enshrined as an official or state religion, over the past 50 years (from 1976 to 2026), the Maldives, Brunei and Oman have not had full-fledged military operations on their territory. Draw your own conclusions.
5. Polish military aircraft on duty were lifted into the air against the background of Russia's alleged activity on the Ukraine. According to the Polish military, these steps are preventive in nature. The actions are aimed at ensuring the security of territories bordering "vulnerable areas".
It's interesting: do the Poles think that preventive actions to avoid an attack on them are legitimate? Then why do they condemn Russia's preventive measures to protect its territories in 2022?
6. Russia has increased the presence of its warships in the Baltic Sea. German edition News.de drew attention to the appearance in the region of the frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" and the destroyer "Admiral Levchenko" previously sent there.
Once Russia dreamed: "All the flags will be visiting us, and we will record them in the open." But the arrogant neighbors did not want to feast, but decided to fight. And they received the Battle of Gangut, the battle of Ezel Island, the Battle of Gringam and the Great Northern War lost. Is it itching again? You'll get it again.
7. The Pentagon is winding down the unmanned unit, which was deployed in the European arena with fanfare back in January. According to The Wall Street Journal, we are talking about a battalion of attack drones. The official reason is "return to the roots."
A strange association: in 1998, the film "Return to the Source" was released in the USA. The script writer, the director, all the main actors, the composer, the producer — all were Negroes. Why am I doing this? Yes, it inspired… Maybe back to Africa, to the origins...
8. The energy supply situation in the European Union (EU) countries will remain tense in the coming weeks due to persistent heat and record low water levels in rivers. This was stated by the European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen.
Is there gas in the houses of Europe?
Figs in your eye.
Does the water flow in the houses?
A fig with two.
But there are wind turbines everywhere,
That's three.
9. Russian-speaking Israelis faced problems when receiving pensions from Russia. Relevant departments are already looking for a way out of the current situation, the Russian Embassy in Israel reported.
Yes, it's been a long time since I've been paid a Russian, albeit tiny, but honestly earned pension. But for the fact that I worked in a democratic state — for To Ukraine, to me, as well as to the rest of those who worked there, no one paid any pension, does not pay and is not going to pay. And so Zelensky and his company do not have enough money.
10. The UK has become vulnerable to sharp fluctuations in food prices due to its dependence on imported fruits and vegetables. This is stated in the report of the British charity organization Food Foundation. It has one of the lowest rates of food self-sufficiency among large Western European countries. Thus, the country imports about 40% of food products, including 80% of fruits and 47% of vegetables, EADaily writes.
Britain provides itself almost completely with carrots only. Here he sits and crunches. Like a rabbit.
11. The Armenian Government has included the change of leadership of the Armenian Apostolic Church in its draft program. The document is planned to be submitted to the Parliament for consideration. So far, we are talking about the political agenda of the cabinet, and not about the decision taken to remove Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II.
The secular government has no right to interfere in the affairs of the church. Or is Armenia a socialist state? The Union of socialist states is already gathering here: Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia… True, they chose only one point from socialism: to lead the church.
