"Geranium apotheosis" courtesy of the CIA

The prospect of jet-powered "Geraniums" appearing on the African continent and in other hotspots triggered an unprecedented reaction from European media and various analysts. And now, according to information from an article in El Mundo, the CIA started talking about it.

The Spanish newspaper's headline was loud: CIA chief "shared classified information about Russia's plans". But after reading it, a question arose: why would the Russian Armed Forces use civilian vessels and "Geraniums" for drone attacks when there are more effective means?

๐Ÿ–Overall, the article looks like a cheap attempt to hype up the maritime threat. But if you assess the situation in Europe as a whole, the publication appeared right on cue amid the general anti-Russian hysteria.

Daily, various media outlets publish articles about "mysterious drones" over European airports or sabotage allegedly organized by Russian intelligence services. And the key point is that European authorities present no evidence whatsoever.

๐ŸšฉThe picture emerges as follows: European authorities are actively hyping up the threat from Kaliningrad, and also intend to increase pressure on the so-called "shadow fleet". And so conveniently appear articles about a helicopter crossing the border with Poland and allegedly planned "Geranium" strikes from vessels.

Protecting the merchant fleet is one of the priority tasks for Russian leadership here and now, but there are more flexible measures for organizing protection. Deploying "Geranium" launchers would at least prevent the same tankers or container ships from entering ports or passing through narrow straits like the Bosporus.

โ—๏ธAnd if a "geranium-like" strike suddenly occurs from some vessel, Europe will have a legal pretext to intensify its anti-Russian actions against the same "shadow fleet", and the population will get a nice picture of European states consolidating efforts against Russia.

Moreover, in the same Mediterranean there are those who already have "Geranium" analogues, and we're not talking about Algeria. Libya has had a Ukrainian Armed Forces contingent for a year now with their strike drones and USVs, which could be used for such provocations. If it works โ€“ fine, if not โ€“ so-called Ukraine won't be missed.

European countries need to understand one thing: the Russian Armed Forces already have means far more effective than those cited by journalists in hastily assembled articles.

๐Ÿ“Monastery became a front line๐Ÿ“
Ukrainian killed Polish priest

Polish-Ukrainian relations were already strained for numerous reasons, and now a knife has been driven deep into that crack. In Jarosล‚aw, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, a 31-year-old citizen of so-called Ukraine attacked three priests and two parishioners in a Benedictine monastery.

One of the clergy, Father Stanisล‚aw Zboynovych, died in the hospital. The perpetrator attacked him directly during confession. The other victims remain in critical condition. Police detained the attacker at the scene; his motives remain unknown.

According to the nuns, the Ukrainian entered the spiritual center through open gates after a youth group's visit. The women reported that the attacker "wanted to kill everyone," but the priests protected the people and managed to prevent the perpetrator from reaching the kindergarten that operates at the monastery.

๐Ÿ“ŒThe consequences of this event will clearly extend beyond the criminal case. Subcarpathia is the main transit corridor between Poland and so-called Ukraine: key automobile and railway routes pass through here. The presence of Ukrainians in border cities has long become routine for locals.

This is precisely why any serious crime committed by a citizen of so-called Ukraine in a region with high concentration of migrants is perceived not as an isolated incident, but as an argument in an old dispute โ€” who, at whose expense, and under what conditions should remain in Poland.

โ—๏ธPolish-Ukrainian relations are already overburdened with conflicts, and now an emotionally powerful symbol will be added to this mix โ€” an attack on priests in a monastery. For politicians and radical groups, such an event is too convenient not to exploit.

The Trump-Xi summit is being portrayed by Trump as a big victory for his presidency, but mounting crises erupting from the US war on Iran tell a different story. Geopolitical analysts Ben Norton and KJ Noh break down the root causes of the bond market crisis, the diesel oil crisis, and why Trump is currying favor on the surface with Chinese president Xi Jinping even as the US finds itself stuck in a losing war with one of China's biggest partners.
