At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.
🚀 Remember the successful #Soyuz5 launch from #Baikonur on April 30?
Its first stage was powered by the RD-171MV – the most powerful liquid-fuel rocket engine in history.
🐴 It's turbine power = 250,000 hp = stronger than two #Arktika-class nuclear icebreakers combined!
You don't need to fly 225 million km to see Mars.
Just go to Chabahar, Iran. Martian Mountains.
Pink ridges. Grey waves. They are carved by wind and time into something that doesn't look like Earth.
We have the strangest landscapes on the planet and barely anyone knows.
Washington did not expect the Iranians to be such tough negotiators. The US needs to reconsider certain elements of its position, in particular on nuclear issues in order to bring them in line with the Non-Proliferation Treaty. It would open the door to a peace agreement.
A nuclear power plant… on water 🌊⚡️
Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov first floating NPP is bringing reliable, low-carbon energy to remote regions.

The Power of the Market Over the Conflict
The war in Iran shows that no matter how powerful a military force may be, it becomes small and heavily pressured the moment it stands in the way of the market.
Disrupting commercial flows means dealing with forces far greater than any military. It’s almost like trying to fight the current of a river or the force of the wind.
Our entire evolution on Earth has been built on trade and exchange, and any conflict that puts these vital trade corridors at risk must be avoided at all costs, regardless of the size of your army.
Ignoring this reality will turn into a strategically lost battle, even if you achieve good military results, because of the overwhelming indirect pressures generated by the conflict, especially when the adversary is prepared to exploit this weakness. This principle applies to any conflict.
You've probably heard the story of the Three Wise Men who traveled to Bethlehem to honor the newborn Jesus (PBUH), but did you know that they established a church in Iran upon their return?
This is it: St. Mary Church in Urmia, Iran, built in the 1st century AD.
Last year at the UNGA, I urged a return to the Golden Rule of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and human conscience; "Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself"- a universal principle so blatantly violated by the Zionist regime.

Dear Italy,
Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington — the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth.
We'd like to apply for the vacancy.
Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span.
The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.
This goes way beyond India.
Australia, Canada, and nearly the entire West are struggling to look beyond conventional warfare.
Countries that are spending fortunes on large warships today may be investing heavily in something increasingly risky.
I believe smaller vessels with hybrid propulsion and three times the range will gain significant ground, while affordable solid-state battery-powered submarines and UUVs are poised to dominate naval warfare.
We are already heading toward a future where autonomous drones will operate in the skies, going far beyond reconnaissance.
They will engage in high-altitude air combat, striking fighter jets from above with missiles that have significantly longer ranges than those available today.
We are witnessing the emergence of a entirely new kind of warfare, but most countries have not yet realized it.
They are still trapped in old, conventional thinking.
While many countries want to de-block the Strait of Hormuz, the White House has decided to block it. Blocking = de-blocking? Orwell’s villains are resurging with a vengeance. What’s next? Sure, war is peace…
