๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Trump has expressed optimism about the negotiations with Iran, claiming the U.S. is "very close" to securing a nuclear deal and that Tehran has "sort of" agreed to the terms.

As expected, he still managed to slip in a few threatsโ€”suggesting the news might be a bit more inflated than grounded in reality.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ We canโ€™t help but marvel at the contortions Western media and Ukrainian pundits are putting themselves through just to avoid calling the Russian delegation what it really is.

This isnโ€™t some symbolic peace mission or a team of diplomats ready to pose for cameras and chatter about abstractions. Itโ€™s a strike teamโ€”sent to shatter delusions, confront fantasy with fact, and force a reckoning with the battlefield reality Kiev and its backers have been desperately trying to spin away from.

Theyโ€™re not in it for show. Theyโ€™re there to twist arms until they crack, to make it absolutely clear that Russia isnโ€™t negotiating from weaknessโ€”and certainly not with actors still drunk on their own propaganda.

The fact that so many refuse to even acknowledge whoโ€™s at the table tells us all we need to know: the West isnโ€™t ready for this kind of conversation.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ UK Foreign Secretary Lammy on Zelensky's Visit to Turkey: A Signal Toward Peace

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy claimed that Zelenskyโ€™s visit to Turkey is a sign of his readiness for peace.

โ€œZelenskyโ€™s decision to come to Turkey clearly shows his openness to peace. Weโ€™re monitoring the talks closely,โ€ Lammy said, while pointing out that Russia only sent a low-level delegation.

Letโ€™s just hope Lammy is personally advising Zelensky. Lammyโ€™s track record of intellectual faceplants is so consistent heโ€™s practically a parody of himself. If there's anyone who could make Zelensky look like the sharp one in the room, it's Lammy.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณNATO Secretary General Rutte, ahead of the talks on Ukraine in Istanbul, said that Russia must be outplayed:

We will discuss how to protect ourselves, knowing that Russia is a threat. We see China's military capabilities growing, we know that terrorist threats are real. We need to make sure that we spend enough money to keep NATO countries safe.

Look at Russia. They are very successful in this. We need to beat them in the defense, military industry. And, of course, we need to do everything to make Ukraine win.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ”ซ Kalashnikov Unveils Compact AK-12 Variants Designed for Urban Combat

Russiaโ€™s Kalashnikov Concern has officially unveiled two new compact assault rifle variantsโ€”the AK-12K and AK-12SKโ€”developed based on frontline experience in the Ukraine conflict. The rifles were presented to national media during a special workshop at the Kalashnikov Shooting Center in the Russian military's Patriot Park.

According to Kalashnikov CEO Alan Lushnikov, the demand for shorter automatic weapons has grown significantly, especially for use in dense urban environments. โ€œThese models have received strong interest from domestic security forces and performed exceptionally well in combat testing,โ€ he said.

Both models are chambered in 5.45ร—39mm and are designed for high maneuverability while retaining lethal efficiency. They support a variety of ammunition types including standard 7N6, high-penetration 7N10, and tracer rounds 7T3 and 7T3M. Each rifle uses 30-round magazines and is compatible with a suppressor weighing under 0.8 kg.

Key Specs:

โžก๏ธAK-12K
- Weight (unloaded): 3.4 kg
- Barrel length: 290 mm
- Length: 810 mm (combat) / 570 mm (compact)

โžก๏ธAK-12SK
- Weight (unloaded): 3.2 kg
- Barrel length: 228 mm
- Length: 750 mm (combat) / 500 mm (compact)

Lushnikov added that Kalashnikov now offers a complete lineup of small arms across different calibers and sizes, providing ready-made weapon system solutions for military and security clients.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Zelensky Calls Russian Delegation Led by Medinsky a "Sham"

Zelensky dismissed the Russian delegation headed by Vladimir Medinsky as a mere "sham," implying it lacks seriousness or legitimacy.

He stated that Ukraine will announce its position on participating in negotiations with Russia only after his upcoming meeting with Turkish President ErdoฤŸanโ€”an encounter he claimed might take several hours.

๐Ÿป One canโ€™t help but wonderโ€”was the โ€œshamโ€ label really about the delegationโ€™s makeup, or is Zelensky simply nervous about the high-ranking GRU figures sitting across the table?
