Further confirmation wrt Uzbekistan and a colour revolution attempt.

President Mirziyoyev stated that the unrest in Nukus was caused by foreign forces.

It began in Nukus on July 1st and ended on July 3rd. The situation in this region has now stabilised.

China is now an immense threat according to the FBI and MI5.

Only they weren't until Beijing refused to play ball with the US no rules based order.

Westerners stop falling for such nonsense.

Friendly countries are to pay for grain in Rubles. Russia has already signed contracts with Turkey, last of which was in March this year, with payments in rubles totalling 3bn.

Russia also dispensing with intermediaries to work directly with grain importing countries.

The principle reason for US wanting to continue the Ukraine war is because Russia is destroying US hegemony and the USD. It is also why Washington would like to see China dragged into a war with Taiwan.

If Russia had wanted to end the war in 24hrs it has the irrefutable firepower to do so. The reasons it hasn't are obvious to anyone who either has a functioning brain, isn't living in denial or who isn't blinded by an ideological hatred for Putin and Russia.

If the protests in the Netherlands by Dutch farmers was Russian farmers protesting in Russia it would be on every western MSM around the clock. But given it is the Netherlands, that's clearly not the case.

Abe has been shot, there are several claims about his current condition. There will be many theories expressed wrt this incident. However the fallout will be immense both domestically and internationally.

Very clear Poland still has designs on Western Ukraine. If this was to happen it would likely implode NATO in Europe in the process aside from what the Russian response would be.

Stop engaging with a kabuki theatre designed to make you feel like you in a democracy. It's all a total sham.

Russia will seek international cooperation to ensure US compliance with a convention that bans biological weapons and prevent the US from making them,

This is the tip of the iceberg wrt this subject. West is not going to be able to bury this either.

Yet another US weapon testing failure:

Trials of a Minotaur II+ rocket exploded a matter of seconds after its launch.

Canada is going to return a sanctioned Nord Stream turbine to Gazprom at the request of Germany.

European Commission has blocked a 1.5bn euro loan to Ukraine given concerns that Kiev will not be able to repay the money.

West is never going to get a single euro back.

US intends trying to mould future leaders in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, in Washington and then return them to their respective countries to make changes the US would like to see.

US unhinged foreign policy in a nutshell.

Confirmation that Abe has died.

You will very clearly see, soon enough, those with major US backers in think tanks, alt media etc reveal their true colours wrt to Abe's murder.

They will make completely unsubstantiated accusations.

There is now an accelerated move to implement a stable multipolar world so that all nations can mutually benefit from economic, scientific and cultural exchanges, eliminating political and military conflict, allowing a new paradigm of cooperation and diplomacy to unfold.

China bought $18.9bn equivalent of Russian oil, gas and coal in the 3 months to end of May, almost double the amount from a year earlier. Note China is increasing volume and this is not due to spiking energy prices.
