#Pew surveyed 30000+ people in 20+ countries on global threats. #Russia is widely seen as the top national security threat - #1 in #Germany, #Netherlands, #Poland, #Italy, #Sweden (75%), #UK (50%), #France (50%).

And #Hungary (33%) despite pro-Russia policies.

Since the #war began in 2022, over 20 top #Russian officials have died or been eliminated.

The main causes: arrests over massive #corruption, suspicious “suicides” hiding internal #purges, and targeted killings by #Ukrainian #intelligence of war #criminals.

This reflects shrinking #Russia 's budgets and growing infighting over shares in a war #economy marked by secrecy and rampant corruption.

This is #betrayal.

#Trump deliberately halted the delivery of weapons to #Ukraine that were already on #Polish territory and ready for front-line use. I'm not talking about hypothetical shipments - these are #Patriot and #Stinger missiles, essential for protecting #Ukrainian cities from #Russian ballistic strikes.

This is a stab in the back of an ally at its most vulnerable moment. Cold-blooded, calculated, veiled in words about "peace" and "priorities."

Tensions escalate between #Russia and #Azerbaijan - a significant geopolitical conflict in the post-Soviet space. #Russian security forces raided the #Azerbaijani community in #Yekaterinburg, #killing two and arresting dozens.

Azerbaijan, now a confident regional power backed by #Turkey, no longer tolerates #Moscow ’s dominance. While Russia needs Azerbaijan economically, the reverse isn’t true. Diplomatic ties deteriorate and #Baku moves closer to #Ukraine.

A record number of missiles and drones were launched by the occupiers at #Ukraine last night. 537. There are fatalities and many injured.

#Ukrainian #F16 pilot Maksym Ustymenko tragically died. He managed to steer the plane away from a populated area, but the pilot died. This is the third F-16 aircraft received from #EU and lost in #war.

Western experts believe that in the future #Russia may be able to launch up to 1000 drones and missiles per day. This is bad news.

#Orban has #blocked the start of negotiations on #Ukraine 's accession to the #EU. In addition, the EU's general financial #support for Ukraine has also been blocked.

Moreover, the EU summit failed to adopt new #sanctions against #Russia ; the new, tough 18th package of sanctions was not adopted due to #Hungary 's obstruction.

It would seem that nothing is new, yet the blatantly #mafia -like - and now outright #Nazi - regime of Orban is becoming increasingly apparent.

The #Council of #Europe has signed an agreement with #Ukraine to establish a #tribunal for #Russia 's crimes. However, #Putin, #Mishustin, and #Lavrov have been exempted. Tribunal can only initiate proceedings against them once they leave office.

In essence, this turns a #dictatorial lifetime regime into a competitive advantage. The more crimes regime commits, the more protected it becomes.

A peculiar kind of tribunal, its claws and fangs pulled out from the beginning.

At the #NATO summit, #Ukraine received strong support - €70B in aid is expected - but an anti- #Ukrainian bloc is forming. #Hungary ’s #Orbán openly voiced hostility, saying several NATO members didn’t want #Zelensky present. Zelensky was placed far from #Trump in the group photo, reflecting tension. Orbán bragged about excluding Ukraine from closed meetings and declared Hungary wants no integration with Ukraine - neither in NATO nor the #EU - displaying #Ukrainophobia.

1. #Iran ’s #nuclear program has been damaged but not eliminated.
2. Military capacity weakened, yet Iran can still strike regionally and remains a global threat.
3. No sign of internal regime change.
4. #Israel achieved short-term security goals at high cost.
5. #Trump faces backlash for starting a #war despite promises.
6. #Putin 's betrayal of Iran damages his credibility.
7. No major shift in #Ukraine war.
8. Iran threat delayed, not destroyed.

The real reason why #Europe must increase its #defense spending is not the threat of a major #war, but the fact that #Russia already possesses sufficient means to dismantle the #EU as a political and economic union.
