Chinese Nuclear Ballistic Missiles aimed at India and US filled with water and not fuel Reports India today.

The The fall fall of Zhang Youxi, China's top uniformed military officer, in President Xi Jinping's purge might have to do with corruption, espionage and the PLA's operational readiness Chinese missiles were found to have been filled with water instead of fuel, which led to the removal of the PLA Rocket Force's leadership in 2023 and 2024. Zhang is said to have passed on China's nuclear secrets to the US, and could be linked to the Rocket Force purge.

D. Vance: 'Iran is a very difficult country to conduct diplomacy with, because it's the only country in the world whose leader refuses to talk to the United States. Trump can pick up the phone and talk to Putin, he can pick up the phone and call Xi or Kim Jong Un—countries we have very hostile relations with. But we can't talk to the leader of Iran, it's bizarre'

The public release of the Jeffrey Epstein files is a black stain on the faces of the world’s so-called civilized and powerful elites, showing that this was not just an individual crime but a brutal outcome of unchecked capitalism, where profit becomes God and even human bodies and souls turn into commodities. Epstein did nothing new. He simply applied supply and demand, except the “supply” was priceless children and the “demand” came from billionaires who believed laws and ethics were fairy tales for the poor. The names linked to the case, from political leaders to royalty and celebrities, suggest a system run not by democracy but by hidden power networks. While Epstein is dead and Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison, the powerful figures behind the scenes remain untouched, proving that money not only buys crime but also buys silence and protection. What we call crime, they call privilege, revealing a dark corner of capitalism where the dignity of the poor becomes entertainment for the rich.

| 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 — Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla announced that Cuba has declared an international emergency in response to a U.S. executive order by President Donald Trump.

The order declares a national emergency over perceived threats from Cuba and threatens tariffs on countries supplying oil to the island.

Rodríguez stated on X that the situation with the U.S. government constitutes an "unusual and extraordinary threat" originating from the "anti-Cuban neo-fascist right," endangering national security, international peace, and humanity's survival amid broader global risks.

The Cuban government denounced the move as a brutal act of aggression aimed at imposing a total fuel blockade. This escalation follows Trump's Thursday executive order targeting Cuba's alleged malign influence and regional instability.

🚨 🇺🇦🇷🇺 "We need contact with the Russian leader. Without it, we won't be able to agree on territorial issues," Zelensky continues to plead with Putin for an audience.

Putin isn't refusing to meet with Zelensky. Russian representatives have repeatedly told Zelensky that if he wants to meet with Putin, he can come to Moscow, where he will be guaranteed complete safety. No one has invited Zelensky to Moscow, but there are no objections to his visit either.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs has firmly rejected reports linking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to emails from the so-called Epstein files.

The MEA clarified that the only factual link is PM Modi’s official visit to Israel in July 2017. All other claims were dismissed as “baseless” and described as “trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal.”

The government called the reports misleading and irresponsible, aiming to shut down speculation once and for all.
