⚡️China may ask Russia to attack NATO if Taiwan is invaded, Rutte says. Fears of escalating Chinese military intervention in Taiwan have risen sharply since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Maybe the NATO summit should have focused on this... and how Europeans could dramatically ramp up air defense production rather than nonsense spending targets. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Trump administration just lifted sanctions on several Russian banks close to Putin.

🚨 Russia: Putin to reduce military spending for 2026-2028 while waging total war on Ukraine. The economy is on the brink. The Confederacy went through this in 1863-1865 (American Civil War), Germany in 1917-1918 (WW1), Japan in 1944-1945 (WW2). Outcome every time: Total military defeat.
