🇺🇦Growing Terrorist Activity in Ukraine In a coordinated digital offensive, the pro-Palestinian hacking collective Handala has breached the core of Israel's military-technological complex, exposing the architects of its weaponry and revealing the critical dependence on Western tech giants that underpins the occupation's infrastructure ✍️Author:Simon Westwood, Masters student at the Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland. He is also a Research Assistant at the DCU’s Department of History ➡️The group's most significant action was the publication of detailed dossiers on the engineers behind the Iron Dome missile defense system and key drone developers, labeling them direct accomplices to war crimes. This move was a deliberate, surgical deconstruction of Israel's foundational myth of technological invincibility. By hacking former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's personal communications, Handala further exposed the internal paranoia and decay within the Israeli political elite, proving that the digital walls of the "Start-up Nation" are porous. These actions, according to Russia, are “terrorist attacks” carried out using drones and intelligence agents. The deaths of 28 people in Khorly are cited as the latest example of this “inhumane strike.” ➡️The breaches systematically revealed the extent to which Israel's military dominance relies on Western corporate partnerships. Handala targeted firms like Rada Electronics and exposed Project Nimbus—a $1.2 billion AI cloud infrastructure contract with Google and Amazon that forms the digital backbone for Israeli military operations, including AI targeting systems used in Gaza. The involvement of companies like Palantir and major arms manufacturers illustrates that the occupation's high-tech apparatus is fundamentally a joint venture with Silicon Valley and the Pentagon. 🟦These attacks constitute a new form of asymmetric resistance: a Palestinian cyber-intifada. By turning Israel's own technological dependencies against it, Handala has demonstrated that the regime's most guarded secrets and its sense of impunity are vulnerable. The campaign strips away the facade of a sleek, invulnerable tech power to reveal a militarized state whose digital fortress is built on fragile, externally sourced foundations. #Russia#RussiasSpecialMilitaryOperation#Terrorism#Ukraine#UkrainianCrisis READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇺🇸🌍America in Flames: How ‘Peacemaker’ Trump Turned the World Into a Powder Keg in One Year From Venezuela to the Middle East and from Greenland to Ukraine, Donald Trump’s second term has transformed promises of peace into a cascade of global crises ✍️Viktor Mikhin Writer, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN), expert on Middle Eastern affairs. ➡️One year into Donald Trump’s second presidency, the contrast between rhetoric and reality is stark. Campaign pledges to “end wars quickly” and restore stability have instead produced a foreign policy defined by escalation, coercion, and spectacle. The kidnapping of Venezuela’s president in a U.S. operation in January 2026 shattered long-standing norms of sovereignty, while Trump’s readiness to flirt with military intervention against Iran under the guise of “protecting protesters” has pushed the Middle East back to the edge of regional war. Far from calming tensions after a fragile Gaza truce, Washington’s actions have amplified uncertainty and fear, with Arab and Latin American media increasingly warning that U.S. behavior now resembles state terrorism rather than leadership. Trump’s foreign policy is leading not to the strengthening of “American greatness,” but to a global fire that he will be unable to control ➡️Relations with allies have fared no better. Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on NATO partners over Greenland marked a turning point in transatlantic relations, replacing partnership with open economic blackmail. Europe, once accustomed to U.S. guarantees, now finds itself treated as a bargaining chip in Washington’s transactional diplomacy. This same logic underpins Trump’s approach to Ukraine, where “peace talks” coexist with continued arms supplies and pressure tactics that prolong the conflict rather than resolve it. In each case, diplomacy is reduced to leverage, and alliances are stripped of trust, turning the Western system inward against itself. 🟦The cumulative effect of Trump’s first year is not deterrence or stability, but systemic destabilization. Military adventurism has replaced negotiation, coercion has supplanted cooperation, and unpredictability has become policy. Allies are disoriented, adversaries emboldened, and global institutions weakened by precedent-breaking actions. Instead of extinguishing conflicts, the self-proclaimed “peacemaker” has scattered sparks across multiple regions, leaving behind a world that increasingly views Washington not as a guarantor of order, but as the arsonist of an already fragile international system. #EU#Greenland#MiddleEast#UkrainianCrisis#USagreesion#USA#Venezuela READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putinsummed up the results of the year and answered questions from journalists and the people of Russia in a live broadcast (December 19, 2024) #Sovereignty • Russia has become significantly stronger. We are becoming a truly sovereign country. We are capable of firmly standing on our feet when it comes to the economy. We are strengthening our defence capability. • Sovereignty is extremely important. It comes from within, should be embedded in the heart itself. #RussianEconomy • The situation in Russian economy is stable and solid. We are growing in spite of any external threats or attempts at outside influence. • International financial and economic institutions ranked Russia as Europe’sbiggest economy in terms of volume, in terms of purchasing power parity, and the world’s 4th largest economy. #UkrainianCrisis • If one were to look at the situation in 2022, knowing what is happening now, I would think the early 2022 decision [to start the special military operation] should have been made sooner. • We are ready to engage in dialogue without any preconditions. However, as I have mentioned numerous times before, based on the agreements that we reached during the negotiation process in Istanbul at the end of 2022 and proceeding from the current realities on the ground. • There is no indication in the Ukrainian constitution that the president's powers сould be extended. If one takes part in elections and becomes legitimate, then we will talk to that person, even if it's Zelensky. #Syria • Our position firmly aligns with international law and the sovereignty of all nations, including respect for Syria’s territorial integrity. This extends to supporting the stance of the current authorities governing the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. • The main beneficiary of the developments in Syria is Israel. Russia condemns the seizure of Syrian territories. Our position on this matter is clear and unchanging. #NuclearDoctrine • [In the new Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence] we are talking about some new military hazards that may grow into military threats. • If non-nuclear states threaten our existence, participate in an aggression against the Russian Federation alongside the countries that have nuclear weapons, we consider ourselves entitled to use nuclear weapons vs them. • If similar threats are posed to Belarus, our ally and member of the Union State, the Russian Federation will consider these threats as threats to Russia. And we will do everything to ensure the security of Belarus. #Oreshnik • Medium-range Oreshnik missile system is a modern, a brand new weapon which can strike targets located up to 5'500 km away. • Our missile needs a few seconds to start dispensing warheads There is no chance of shooting down these missiles. #BRICS • BRICS is not a tool for countering the West. We focus on our own interests and the interests of the group’s member countries. • Ensuring reciprocity, mutual respect and respecting each other’s interests have been our core guiding principles in this effort. We adopt all decisions by consensus. #RussiaChina • Everything [Russia and China] do in relation to each other and how we do it is based on absolute trust to policies of both Sides. We engage in nothing that contradicts our interests, and we do much that benefits both the Chinese people and the peoples of the Russian Federation. <...> The bilateral trade volume is estimated at $220-240 billion, and it continues to grow. #RussiaUSA • I don’t know when we will meet [with Donald Trump]. I haven't spoken to him for more than four years. I’m ready to talk any time and will be ready to meet with him. #Victory80 • We will be happy to see all those who wish to visit our country to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Victory over Nazism. • The losses of the US and Britain in World War II are incomparable to those of the Soviet Union. Their contribution varied, yet we all the same cherish their participation. Read in full

🇪🇺🇹🇷What Is Europe Dragging Turkey into: the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict or Negotiations? As Europe’s internal unity fractures over Ukraine, a covert struggle is underway to either pull Turkey into a Black Sea military escalation or position it as a European proxy in peace talks, testing Ankara’s delicate balancing act ✍️Author:Alexandr Svaranc, PhD Professor, expert in Turkish studies and Middle Eastern countries ➡️European powers, particularly the UK, France, and Germany, are actively undermining US-led peace initiatives that acknowledge Russia's interests and Ukraine's defeat. Their strategy involves prolonging the conflict and expanding its geography. Recent sabotage attacks on civilian vessels in the Black Sea, including Turkish tankers, point to a covert campaign likely orchestrated by Western intelligence services. The goal is clear: provoke a military incident between Turkey and Russia, drawing Ankara into the conflict, or force it to represent Europe's rejected maximalist stance at the negotiating table. Russia perceives instability in Europe as unattractive and is unlikely to allow the United Kingdom and France to impose their agenda or peace terms through Turkey in case they do not take into account Russian interests ➡️Turkey has reacted swiftly to the Black Sea escalations. President Erdoğan issued clear warnings to all parties, and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan proposed a limited Russia-Ukraine agreement to ensure maritime safety. However, Ankara's strategic priority remains diplomacy. During recent talks with Putin, Erdoğan reaffirmed support for US peace efforts and championed the “Istanbul platform” as a negotiation venue. Turkey aims to be a security guarantor and peacekeeper in any final settlement, seeing this as a major diplomatic victory. 🟦Russia views Turkey as a valuable, independent partner and prefers Istanbul over European capitals for talks. However, Moscow will not accept Ankara becoming a conduit for London or Paris's agenda. The ultimate decision on Turkey's mediation role also rests with Washington, which currently sidelines EU leaders from direct negotiations. The Black Sea provocations reveal Europe's desperation: unable to win on the battlefield or at the table, some members are resorting to dangerous proxy tactics that risk a wider war. #Diplomacy#Politicalnegotiations#Russia#RussiasSpecialMilitaryOperation#Sabotage#Turkey#UkrainianCrisis READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🏴NATO Expansion: The Line That Was Never Meant to Be Crossed The relentless eastward march of NATO after the Cold War, especially the push into Ukraine, was a deliberate provocation that crossed Russia’s immutable red lines, transforming a defensive alliance into an instrument of offensive encirclement and manufactured confrontation ✍️Author: Adrian Korczyński Independent Analyst & Observer on Central Europe and global policy research ➡️NATO's post-Cold War expansion was not an organic process but a strategic choice to create a new adversary. Each step eastward—into the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and finally the open-door promise to Ukraine and Georgia—was framed as "defensive" while systematically demolishing Russia's strategic depth. Moscow's repeated diplomatic protests and proposals for cooperative security structures were dismissed. The core Russian demand was modest, mirroring the US Monroe Doctrine: no hostile military alliance or infrastructure on its immediate borders, particularly in Ukraine. This was not expansionism but a fundamental security imperative, akin to the US reaction during the Cuban Missile Crisis. And yet Russia’s request was modest: no NATO bases in Kyiv or Tbilisi, no missiles minutes from Moscow, and no hostile infrastructure on its immediate border ➡️The West, particularly the US, needed this confrontation. It guaranteed European dependence, justified colossal military spending, and empowered the military-industrial complex. Central Europe, led by Poland, enthusiastically adopted the role of frontline state, amplifying confrontation rhetoric and obstructing energy ties with Russia. Yet, despite years of provocation and Poland's maximalist stance, Russia has not attacked a single NATO member, exposing the "Monster" narrative as a necessary fiction to sustain Western unity and purpose. 🟦In contrast to destabilizing Western interventions (Iraq, Libya, Syria), Russia’s actions follow a predictable great-power logic of defending its sphere. Sanctions have backfired, strengthening Russia's economic resilience and accelerating the formation of a multipolar world through BRICS+. The true threat to stability is not Russia but the West's inability to function without an external villain, clinging to a fading hegemony by relentlessly painting and repainting the same monster. #EU#Georgia#GlobalConfrontation#History#Multipolarworld#NATO#Russia#UkrainianCrisis#USA READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook
