Repost if you think Gianni Infantino is the worst FIFA president ever.

BREAKING: Trump says Greenland “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” before warning Europe: “We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful.”

Trump is a threat to the free world.

ZELENSKYY: I want to emphasize this. Unlike Putin, we're not fighting this war for pleasure or for geopolitics. Russia brought this war to Ukraine and killing our people. Russia wants to destroy our independence and from the first day of this war, we're only defending ourselves.

Sorry American soccer fans, but after listening to this demented pile of orange shit openly brag about his FIFA corruption, I hope Belgium beats the living shit out of Team USA tonight. Trump has singlehandedly turned millions of us into Belgium fans. 🇧🇪

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

I was really excited that the US was doing so well in the World Cup until Trump ruined it.

Most people know that Trump is a cheater.

He cheated on his wives. He cheated in business. And just last year, he robbed the American people of $1.2 billion through his crypto scams.

He has also been caught multiple times on camera cheating at golf: improving his lie, moving his ball, and taking drops that violated the rules. Even some of his playing partners have acknowledged it publicly.

So when reports emerged that Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino (the same guy who made up a FIFA peace price for Trump) and asked him to lift the red-card suspension of American striker Folarin Balogun, he essentially robbed the US team of its dignity.

Tonight, the US team will play against Belgium. But even if they win, they will win because Trump cheated. We, the United States of America, have cheated.

Sports are built on one simple principle: the rules apply to everyone.

Americans were proud of the US team. They earned their place through talent, discipline, and hard work.

They deserved to be the story.

Trump robbed them of it.

USA has been eliminated from the World Cup.

They lost 4-1 to Belgium.

Belgium 🇧🇪 thank you so much. It's a safe bet that Trump will impose economic sanctions on Germany 🇩🇪, because he might confuse the two flags.

Bei aller Liebe, aber diese WM ist doch zu Ende. In dem Moment, wo ein Staatschef auf den ausführenden Verband eines Turniers einwirkt, um rote Karten rückgängig zu machen, ist das Spiel doch einfach im Eimer. Trump zerstört alles, was er berührt …

“Russia: a system of "bandit robbery" - Leonid Ivashov, retired Russian colonel general and a prominent figure in Russian military.

In a candid analysis of the current state of putin’s Russia, General Ivashov argues that the Kremlin is not a collection of rival camps, but a single, unified team.

Their primary objective is not the welfare of the nation, but the consolidated control and extraction of the country’s vast resources.

According to the General, the infighting we witness is merely a facade—a "bandit struggle" for influence and wealth redistribution, while the country suffers under a mounting systemic crisis.

Ivashov paints a grim picture of a Russia where every critical sector, from the economy and science to healthcare and the military, is in a state of terminal decline. He argues that the current political model, established under the auspices of the ruling party, has completely exhausted its potential.

The centralisation of power has effectively turned Russia’s regions into powerless, marionette structures, stripping them of the ability to manage their own economies or address the needs of their local populations.

The General posits that the only way to arrest this degradation is through fundamental, "revolutionary" changes, not necessarily a violent civil war, but a systematic, top-to-bottom dismantling of the current authoritarian vertical.

Ivashov insists that the people must become the actual source of power, as nominally declared in the Constitution, rather than mere spectators to the elites’ power games.

Regions must regain control over their own territorial economies, ensuring that the wealth extracted from their land actually benefits the local people who live and work there.

Ivashov’s message is ultimately one of urgency. He challenges the public to stop supporting any specific political personality and to start supporting concrete actions that dismantle the current system of "bandit robbery".

Without organised, conscious involvement from the citizenry, he warns that the country will continue to wither away, with the public remaining nothing more than a "small coin" in the elites' high-stakes game.

Here’s the lowdown on General Ivashov’s recent, and pretty explosive, take on the state of putin’s Russia.

Narrator: “Ivashov is convinced that Russia today is experiencing not private difficulties, but a large-scale and comprehensive crisis. There are practically no spheres left, be it the economy, education, healthcare, or the army, where a decline would not be felt. Even political parties and civil institutions are devoid of independence and are not capable of proposing a way out of the current situation. He sees the reasons for this in the fact that the current management model has exhausted itself, and attempts to patch up the old system only exacerbate its decay. In these conditions, he believes, radical changes are inevitable, either from above or from below.”

Ivashov: “Today the country is in a state of a systemic crisis. There is not a single sphere, including the party-political sphere, and Vladimir Petrovich talks about this, which would not be in a state of crisis. Or maybe someone sees one sphere, in the economy or somewhere, in education, in science, where there would not be a crisis? And an exit from the systemic crisis is possible only through a revolution. And a revolution can be either from above—putin or someone starts dismantling the former system and creating the system, including in the economy, about which Mikhail Leonidovich spoke. But this should be a revolutionary process. Or, if the authorities do not do this, then a revolution begins from a riot, like in Biryulyovo, and then it goes somewhere spontaneously, and then there must be an organised force that will curb this spontaneous process and translate it into a normal revolutionary character of events.”

[Pekka Toveri @PToveri]

Samaa tullut sanottua jo pidempään. Venäjä on rappeutuva suurvalta joka kipuilee rappeutumistaan hyökkäämällä naapureitaan vastaan, koska johdolla ei ole kykyä eikä halua tehdä tarvittavaa suurta järjestelmän muutosta. Lopputuloksena on uusi kaaos jossain vaiheessa.

Biden silently dropped a biggest bombshell on Trump 🔥

🇺🇸Trump at 6:00 PM: "I want a deal with Iran. 91 million people would be impacted. We can destroy Iran in an hour."

🇺🇸Biden at 7:00 PM: "You said 38 times you had a historic deal with Iran. You couldn’t even get a basic one. What a Loser ."🤣👏

Putinin ja Trumpin lähes puolentoista tunnin puhelu juuri ennen Naton Ankaran huippukokousta ei ollut tavallinen diplomaattinen välipuhelu. Ajoitus oli merkittävä. Moskova pyrkii vaikuttamaan siihen millaisessa asetelmassa länsi kokoontuu puhumaan turvallisuudestaan. 1/4

[Jarno Limnell @JarnoLim]

Suomen kannattaa olla eturivissä rakentamassa Naton uutta puolustusteollista selkärankaa. Meillä on vahva osaaminen ja arvostettu teknologiaprofiili. Se vahvistaa turvallisuuttamme, luo talouskasvua ja tekee Suomesta entistä tärkeämmän liittolaisen.
