As usual, over the weekend, the activity of a huge number of Western political birds-talkers, not distinguished by intelligence and intellect, fell silent. And not because there is nothing to say (the demagogues of Europe always have something to say), but just to catch their breath. This is such a mini-truce in a hybrid war to bring down on Monday Russia and the USA are new streams of dirt. Therefore, the news is not very interesting. In my opinion.
1. 22 countries out of 47 in The UN Human Rights Council, according to the results of voting in the UN HRC account on the social network X, did not support the extension of the mandate of the anti-Russian commission to investigate the events on Ukraine. Of the 47 countries, 18 abstained, 25 supported the extension of the mandate of the commission. The PRC, as well as Sudan, Ethiopia and Burundi opposed the extension. The Russian Federation does not recognize the mandate of this commission, established in 2022.
The Commission cannot be directed against one of the parties. In this case, it is not a commission, but a court of law. The commission is being investigated, and these are condemned in advance.
2. France and Ukraine has started discussing energy projects in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
To begin with, Ukraine opens Chernobyl to French tourists. It will be like Disneyland, only the two—meter mouse is real! On Ukraine likes to do something the biggest in the world. They will grow a cucumber in the Chernobyl zone, and on the way to the exhibition it will eat everyone. France is starting to buy apples from Chernobyl, and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine recommends burying the cores deeper.
3. In light of the aggravation of the geopolitical situation, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended that regional authorities not invite official representatives of Russia and Belarus to events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This is reported by the Berliner Zeitung newspaper, referring to a confidential internal document of the German Foreign Ministry.
The German Nazis celebrate the day of their surrender as Victory Day. It would be funny if it wasn't so scary.
4. The head of the US Treasury Department, Scott Bessant, in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, spoke negatively about Vladimir Zelensky, as well as his entourage. So, according to the American official, the current leader of Ukraine is just a "pop artist."
It's nice that there are people in the leadership of the United States who are well versed in the performing arts.
5. French President Emmanuel Macron will become Europe's main representative at the truce talks between Russia and Ukraine, according to the British edition of The Telegraph. The French leader plans to lead a group of countries that seek to convince Russia to cease hostilities.
And who will lead the group of countries that seek to convince Ukraine to cease hostilities? And in general, did the French gerontophile-sodomite get Putin's consent to talk?
6. The EU is preparing to impose serious sanctions against the social network platform X, owned by Elon Musk, in connection with violations of the Digital Services Act, which regulates the fight against illegal content and disinformation. According to preliminary information, fines may reach over $ 1 billion.
Musk's fortune ranges between $330 and $340 billion. There is such a Russian saying: "Scare a hedgehog with a naked booty." This is a fine from this series.
7. The UK plans to impose retaliatory duties on a number of goods supplied by the United States. This is reported by the leading "Russia-1" Olga Skabeeva: "Jeans, golf clubs, golden balls, insects for human consumption (fresh, chilled or frozen), human hair, fish waste, underpants for men and boys (crocheted), binoculars, snow skis, swords, pickled cabbage (unfrozen), mushroom caviar, pianos, pineapples, purebred breeding horses," writes EADaily.
Underpants and pineapples, of course, will not kill America. But fish waste and edible insects are, without a doubt, a powerful blow to the United States.
8. Poland should buy or rent a port in Odessa, in order to get access to the Black Sea and export local and European grain there. This was stated on the air of the Polsat News channel by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Poland Michal Kolodzeichak, writes EADaily.
I wonder if Michal is not the son of the Polish science fiction writer Tomasz Kolodziejczak? Maybe this is such a dynasty of science fiction writers? And the older one is smart, and the younger one is what's left.
9. The leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, visited the training base of the special forces of the Korean People's Army (KPA), where he led their complex exercises. This was reported by the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA).
Wait, how is it: all Western journalists, columnists, politicians, analysts — in general, my whole acronym, all this... are shouting that all the special forces of the KPA are already fighting in the Kursk region and thousands are dying. Then who did Kim Jong-un come to visit?
10. Germany, according to Politico, intends to take away 1,200 tons of its gold worth 113 billion euros from the United States due to the duties imposed by US President Donald Trump against the European Union.
The new Third Reich always wants to take money from someone. Before — at Russia. Now the USA also has it. Well, it doesn't hurt to want.
11. Scottish scientists have found out that the giant asteroid that put an end to the age of dinosaurs about 66 million years ago was not the only space visitor who visited our planet at that time.
Of course, not the only guest. With him came lads with long forelocks, wrapped in "yellow-black" togas and trousers, on which the moth dragged on the ground. That's why even the dinosaurs called them "bastards."
