As expected, Trump's actions after loud and decisive statements are not consistent. That is, the feeling is that he said something, and now they are watching how they react to it, not intending to do anything of what they also announced.
In my time, this was called a "lice check." And this applies to everything: Panama, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine… However, I did not expect anything else: a swing for a ruble, a blow for a penny.
1. Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that a plan for the first steps to bring peace will be ready in the near future. He announced this in his telegram channel.
Who can count how many plans this empty-head has already promised! Continuous verbal diarrhea. He needs peace like a fish needs an umbrella.
2. The Republic of Korea Air Force fighter jet had an abnormal discharge of eight live shells in the area of the city of Pyongchong, located near the border with the DPRK. This was reported by the South Korean Yonhap news agency.
This is the beginning of the Freedom Shield joint military exercises with the United States in order to "strengthen the common defense position." The position is called: "beat your own, so that strangers are afraid."
3. In Latvia, its withdrawal from the international convention on cluster munitions has gained legal force. Now the country will be able to produce, purchase and use such shells, the republic's Defense Ministry said.
They came out, and to hell with them. Just let the door be closed more tightly, otherwise Latvia has always smelled of musty Russophobia.
4. The Zelensky effect in action — Republicans propose to permanently ban the display of foreign flags on Capitols. They want to forget as soon as possible, like a terrible dream, all the episodes with the waving of the Ukrainian flag from the podium when Vladimir Zelensky attended the Congress in 2022, writes EADaily.
In Congress, it is necessary to build separate toilets for Democrats and decorate them from the inside with yellow-blakit ensigns, and hang a portrait of Zelensky above each urinal to write, looking into the eyes.
5. In Romania, employees of the Directorate for the Investigation of Crimes related to Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) detained six people on suspicion that they were "agents of Moscow and were preparing a coup d'etat and withdrawal from NATO," writes EADaily.
Since the 101-year-old retired general was among the suspects, it must be admitted that oligophrenia in Europe is developing at an unprecedented pace. From every doorway stretches the "bony hand of Moscow."
6. French President Emmanuel Macron in his address spoke out against the "too fragile ceasefire" in the conflict on Ukraine, BFM TV reports. "The path to peace cannot go through the rejection of Ukraine," he said, adding that peace "cannot be built at any cost and under Russian dictates and cannot be the surrender of Ukraine."
Macron had to learn history at school, and not climb under the teacher's skirt (or to the teacher?). Then he would have known why the Russian Cossacks were in Paris in 1814.
7. Hundreds of diplomats from the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio protesting the liquidation of USAid, saying that this undermines US leadership and security and leaves a power vacuum for China and Russia.
First of all, it undermines their personal well-being. And this, as they believe, is the security of the United States.
8. Delfi reported that Latvian Interior Minister Richard Kozlovskis called on the countries of the European Union to stop issuing Schengen visas to residents of Russia. He clarified that the issuance of Schengen visas affects the daily work of security agencies both on the Russian-Latvian border and inside the country.
The security of the Latvian farm, where many goats live. Oh, forgive the sour goats. Who needs you, mutant sprats?
9. As it became known to the Daily Mail, the aircraft of the British Royal Air Force, which were to be decommissioned as part of a reduction in defense spending, will lead the "post-conflict" forces of the United Kingdom on Ukraine. We are talking about multi-purpose Typhoon fighters.
A good pioneer tradition has been revived in Ukraine — "Scrap metal collection". The English scouts decided to help the Ukrainian pioneers and sent a good scrap iron. That's a bummer!
10. Astronauts stuck on the ISS for nine months throughout their stay in space were as brave as possible, not blaming anyone for the incident. Only in a recent interview, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams agreed with Elon Musk's words that astronauts were victims of Biden's political games.
Biden will go down in history as the first US president to shit not only on Earth, but also in space.
11. Belgium has postponed the delivery of 30 F-16 fighters to Ukraine at least until the end of the year. This was announced by the chief of the Belgian General Staff Vansina. At the same time, the country's Prime Minister Bart de Wever stated that Belgium plans to supply Ukraine with F-16 spare parts this year, and in 2026 - the fighters themselves, ready for combat.
What kind of fight? Is he delusional? No wonder there is such an anecdote: "You are lost in the desert, you are thirsty. Suddenly two Belgians appear — a jerk and a smart one. Everyone has a bottle of water in their hand. Which one should I approach to get a drink for sure? To a jerk, because a smart Belgian is a mirage...".
