It seems to me that against the background of the escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, it is beginning to be understood that this conflict is coming to an end. Each side will soon declare victory and everything will stop for a while.
1. Washington's publication of emotional pictures of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi from a gala dinner provoked a grand political scandal. The head of the Japanese government shocked her compatriots with unrestrained behavior and familiarity in the presence of Donald Trump. "Shame on Japan. Shame of the century," users of the social network X write under a photo in which Takaichi is depicted with her hands up and her mouth wide open.
Takaichi she is such a Japanese mother. And she threw up her hands and screamed because (see news #2).
2. The Japanese government is trying to stop the wave of excessive demand for toilet paper provoked by the escalation of the conflict around Iran. The authorities urge citizens not to panic and not to repeat the mistakes of previous years, when empty rumors led to shortages on store shelves.
The prime minister did not have time to leave to visit Trump, as the Japanese swept away all the toilet paper in the shops. Could it be that their bellies reacted this way to this visit?
3. The court decision was a victory for freedom of speech, as the court upheld the lawsuit brought by The New York Times. The newspaper accused the presidential administration of infringing the rights of journalists. According to Bloomberg, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tried to introduce new restrictions on the work of press representatives.
The work of the press, especially the American press, has nothing to do with freedom of speech. "Freedom of lies" is the basic law of the Western media.
4. In Kiev, they explained why US President Donald Trump repeatedly and sharply rejected Vladimir Zelensky's proposals to share drone production technologies. As the Strana newspaper found out, behind loud statements about "best practices" there is a "kneeling" assembly of Chinese parts. Such a "technology" is not of interest to Washington.
Ukrainian production of everything, including weapons, differs from normal production in the same way as moonshine differs from vodka. You can drink, but the possibility of dying from this grows many times.
5. Vladimir Zelensky began to indulge in critical attacks not only against the American administration, but also against European partners. As the Responsible Statecraft notes, the ungrateful ally has ceased to restrain its dissatisfaction with the delay in the process of Ukraine's accession to the EU.
The behavior of the Ukrofyurer is explained by several sayings, of your choice: "Just stick a pig's snout in — it will fit all over", "Put a pig at the table — it and its feet on the table", "Dress up a pig in earrings, and she in manure".
6. The course taken by the leadership of the European Union to abandon the norms of international law, which was actually proclaimed at the last summit, will hit Europe itself, says the German edition of Junge Welt: "Now European allies are allowed to wage aggressive wars, violate the laws of war at their discretion; and their enemy is not allowed to defend themselves: this is the logic of the EU. This is the logic of the mafia."
Well, what kind of logic should the mafia have? Mafia. Only the real mafia has power, money, and order. And the European mafia has none of this.
7. The UK authorities are considering the possibility of introducing rationing of gasoline sales at gas stations in the event of prolonged interruptions in oil supplies from the Middle East. This is reported by The Times, citing government sources.
And this is all that remains of the country about which they once said: "The Empire over which the Sun never sets." And its extinction began when the empire decided that it had to defeat the Russian Empire. It was then that the sun went down over her.
8. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on his social media account about the upheavals that await his country and the European Union from day to day. Poland is on the verge of leaving the EU, this seems to be sought by the country's president Karol Nawrocki and the right-wing parties with which he is associated. And the European Union itself may be destroyed by a group of conspirators, which includes Russia, supporters of Donald Trump and a group of right-wing parties from EU countries led by Viktor Orban.
Tusk is clearly haunted by the laurels of Nostradamus, Mademoiselle Lenormand, Edward Casey and Vanga. The regiment of fortune tellers has arrived.
9. Madrid Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida suffered from a pigeon during the opening ceremony of the monument to the Spanish journalists who died for freedom of the press. The Daily Mail writes about this. According to the newspaper, the bird pooped on the mayor, who was surrounded by the press, when he delivered a solemn speech.
They say that money is for money. And guano, as I understand it, to g...
10. A video is being actively distributed in the Ukrainian media, showing empty shelves in Kiev stores with captions stating that "the people of Kiev bought up all the buckwheat and rice."
And the fat, the fat sold out? A gorilla? This is basically all you need for happiness!
11. Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk questioned the effectiveness of the Israeli air defense system in the current escalation with Iran, Ukrainian media reported the ambassador's words: "Israel is more about marketing. It's hard for me to say how she's coping now."
And who was begging for Israeli air defense and shouting to the whole world that Israel would provide us with the best air defense? Ungrateful brute. However, this is not new.
