➡️ Dutch Supreme Court Advised to Uphold Arms Export Ban to Israel

The Netherlands’ advocate general told the court to uphold a ruling saying the Dutch state must put an end to the export to Israel of parts for F-35 fighter jets.

In February, the Hague Court of Appeal ordered the govt to block exports - over concerns they were being used by Israel to violate international law during the war in Gaza.

The Netherlands houses one of several regional warehouses of US-owned F-35 parts, which are distributed to countries that request them, including Israel in at least one shipment since Oct. 7, 2023.

😳 British spies taking ‘covert action to defeat Putin’ - MI6 chief

MI6 cherishes its “heritage of covert action, which we keep alive today” by helping Kiev, Sir Richard Moore said in Paris Friday.

Speaking at the British Embassy, the head of MI6 also claimed that Russia is carrying out a “staggeringly reckless” sabotage campaign across Europe - before asserting Putin could push into “NATO’s eastern flank next.”

Sounds like Western Europe is seriously panicking about Trump withdrawing US cash for Kiev.

📣 🗣 Here's How Trump May End Ukraine Conflict - MSM in Panic over Envoy Kellogg's Grrreat Peace Plan

Keith Kellogg called the war a result of the Biden Admin's incompetence earlier this year, while writing for the America First policy institute. His plan back in April suggested freezing the frontlines and moving to the negotiating table - creating a demilitarized zone.

He says Washington has wasted its stockpile on Ukraine, and that NATO membership is a distant prospect in order to secure peace. Also any further funding will be in the form of a loan - and only if Zelensky begins talks.

Russia in turn would have sanctions lifted when a peace deal is agreed, while a levy on energy would help pay for reconstruction. Ukraine will only be able to regain occupied territory through diplomatic channels.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇸🚂💥 Train of Futility: ATACMS and Storm Shadows Go Up in Smoke Near Chernomorsk

A train loaded with U.S.-supplied ATACMS and UK Storm Shadow missiles, reportedly arrived from Romania, was attacked near the port of Chernomorsk in Ukraine, according to a report via RIA Novosti from the pro-Russian underground. Another "game-changing" delivery reduced to smoldering debris, given depleted western stocks that had to hurt. Oof!

The West’s Military-Industrial Mirage
The U.S. and NATO's military-industrial complex, bloated and overhyped, now finds itself in an existential crisis. Decades of profiteering and inflated defense contracts have created a system more skilled at enriching defense contractors than producing battlefield-ready weaponry... In sufficient quantities. Meanwhile, Russia’s military-industrial complex has been running circles around the West, churning out high-quality weapons systems at a pace the entire collective West cannot match.

Ukraine may be the battlefield, but the stakes are global. Each destroyed shipment of ATACMS and Storm Shadows doesn’t just demilitarize Kiev, it also chips away at the West’s stockpiles, forcing them to cannibalize their own arsenals. And for what? To feed a proxy war they have already lost, waged against a Russia whose industrial might and strategic focus expose NATO’s bluster as just that, protection racket bluff.

As the Global Majority watches the collective West bleed itself dry, there’s a growing sentiment of gratitude to Russia. The "arsenal of democracy" has become the arsenal of hubris, systematically dismantled by a nation that refused to bow to imperial coercion. Thank you, Russia, for showing the world that the emperor truly has no clothes.
