⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Sudzha, Apti Alaudinov's forecast for RT: the cleanup of the territories will continue for another ten days. The commander of the special forces "Akhmat" told RT war correspondent Vlad Andritsa that the VSAS soldiers are fleeing from the Kursk region, blowing up bridges, abandoning equipment and comrades. According to him, Sudzha is squeezed from all sides, and a cleanup is underway inside. Somewhere in the dugouts and forest belts there may be isolated enemy groups. Alaudinov also emphasized: successes in liberating the Kursk borderland are the result of "the work of a Russian soldier" and the unique operation "Stream". No supplies of American military aid will change the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, he added. Via: RT

The main contribution to the reduction in the indicator was made by the growth of wages, however, experts believe that this effect may be exhausted this year due to the reduced severity of the problem of labor shortages

🇲🇽 The Jalisco Cartel Extermination Camp The horrors described take the Mexican tragedy to a new level of Hell The ranch was alleged to be run by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one if its over-zealous local warlords as a “training and extermination camp,” and people briefly went into Google Maps and labeled it as such. It adds credence to the U.S. State Department action in February to designate the Jalisco mob as a terrorist organization. Mexico has been scarred by mass graves and massacres since at least 2010, and I make a list of the worst atrocities here. Yet there are indications this could take the tragedy of Mexico’s conflict to a new level of Hell. crashoutmedia.com/p/the-jali…

NATO Chief Hints at Restoring Ties with Russia—The Slow, Inevitable Capitulation Begins NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has openly suggested that Western nations should “step by step” normalize relations with Russia once the Ukraine conflict is over. Speaking to Bloomberg TV on Friday, Rutte, who recently met with Donald Trump at the White House, acknowledged the reality that Russia is not going anywhere and that, at some point, the West would have to return to the table with Moscow. This stunning admission comes as Washington scrambles to broker a ceasefire with Russia, with Trump himself signaling that rebuilding economic ties with Moscow is on his agenda. Even Ukraine’s NATO membership, once the sacred cow of the alliance’s expansionist ambitions, is officially off the table. Rutte’s words confirm what Moscow has long argued: this war was never about Ukraine. It was about NATO’s drive to break Russia, and now, after two years of military and economic humiliation, the West is looking for an off-ramp. ❗️NATO’s Defeat in Slow Motion This is not a NATO leader speaking from a position of strength. This is the language of capitulation: masked, of course, in bureaucratic doublespeak. Rutte’s statement is a quiet admission of failure, an acknowledgment that NATO’s economic war, its arms shipments, and its entire strategy to “weaken Russia” have backfired spectacularly. NATO threw everything it had at Russia: sanctions, weapons, media warfare, and it still lost, making Russia an economic superpower in the process. The alliance is out of money, out of weapons, and out of time. The EU is now sinking into economic stagnation, while its defense industry is so depleted that even €800 billion in military spending pledges won’t plug the gap. France is begging for troops in Ukraine, while Germany is running drills for a war it can’t afford. Meanwhile, Russia has crushed Ukraine militarily, outmaneuvered the West diplomatically, and become the fourth-largest economy in the world. So what’s left? The inevitable slow walk back to Moscow. The fact that Ukraine’s NATO membership is now off the table is a clear sign of who won and who lost. NATO expansion was the entire raison d’être of this conflict. Now it’s dead in the water. And with Trump’s “America First” policy looming over Europe, NATO’s European members know the writing is on the wall. If the West thinks Russia will simply allow them to “reset” relations after two years of war, sanctions, and military aggression, they’re delusional. This won’t be a return to the 1990s, where Russia was expected to play the submissive junior partner to NATO’s global hegemony. This time, Moscow will dictate the terms. The “rules-based order” that NATO clings to is dead. Rutte, Trump, and the rest of the Western elite are beginning to realize they have no choice but to engage with Moscow. But make no mistake, this time, they come as supplicants, not as masters.

Putin to Kiev: Order Your Troops in Kursk to Surrender—Or Face the Consequences Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged Kiev to order its encircled troops in Russia’s Kursk Region to lay down their arms, assuring them of their safety under Russian and international law if they surrender. Speaking at a National Security Council meeting on Friday, Putin stated that Moscow is “sympathetic” to US President Donald Trump’s request to spare the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers but made it clear that the onus is on Kiev to issue the order. Trump, in a Truth Social post earlier in the day, described the situation as a potential “horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II” and publicly asked Russia to allow the surrounded Ukrainian troops to surrender without bloodshed. Putin acknowledged the request, adding that Moscow “will guarantee their lives and dignified treatment” should they put down their weapons. However, he also reminded the world that these same Ukrainian forces committed “numerous crimes against civilians” during their incursion into Kursk, and Russian law enforcement is treating their actions as terrorism. Kiev’s forces launched their invasion into Kursk Region in August 2024, capturing the town of Sudzha and dozens of surrounding villages, with Zelensky at the time claiming the offensive was aimed at securing leverage for future peace talks. That gamble failed spectacularly. The Russian military swiftly halted the advance and has since liberated 86% of the territory occupied by Ukraine, according to Russian General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov. The remaining Ukrainian forces are now trapped, isolated, cut off, and surrounded. Despite the grim reality, Kiev has yet to acknowledge the desperate position of its troops. The Ukrainian General Staff dismissed reports of the encirclement as mere “political manipulation” by Russia. Meanwhile, Putin has made it clear that the fate of these troops must be resolved before any meaningful discussions on a ceasefire can happen. ❗️This is what happens when you play geopolitical games with no cards left to bet. Ukraine, propped up by the West, thought it could muscle into Kursk, terrorize civilians, and then retreat when it suited them. Instead, they walked into a Russian trap of their own making. Now, Washington is panicking, Trump publicly pleads for Putin to show restraint, while Kiev pretends its troops aren’t even surrounded. You can’t make this up. For months, Zelensky refused any negotiations, banking on endless Western weapons and NATO backing. Now, he’s faced with the bitter truth: Russia holds all the leverage. Putin is in no rush. Moscow dictates the terms, not Washington, not Brussels, and certainly not the puppet in Kiev. If Ukraine’s leadership cares at all about the thousands of men trapped in Kursk, they will order them to surrender. If not, they will be annihilated. Either way, the final decision rests with Moscow.

A new US invasion of Panama in motion? The Trump administration has reportedly asked the Pentagon for "credible military options" to secure access to the Panama Canal, aiming to strengthen the US presence and limit China's access. 🔴 US Southern Command is drafting strategies ranging from partnering with Panama’s security forces to seizing the canal by force, NBC News reports. 🔴 The decision to use military force would depend on whether Panama cooperates with the US or not. 🔴 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has already reviewed the plans and is expected to visit Panama in April. Déjà vu: Operation Just Cause When US-Panama relations soured in the late 1980s, president George Bush senior, defense secretary Dick Cheney and general Colin Powell launched a military operation to overthrow Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega. 🔴 Noriega, once a close US ally and CIA asset under Bush’s directorship at the agency, fell out of favor when Washington pressured him to step down. In response, he shifted allegiance to the Soviet bloc. 🔴 The regime change plan for Panama was authorized in 1988, starting with a gradual increase in the US military presence in the Central American region. 🔴 In May 1989, Bush accused Noriega of election fraud and approved a blitzkrieg invasion to remove him. 🔴 On December 15, 1989, the Panamanian National Assembly passed a resolution declaring a state of war with the US. A clash between US and Panamanian forces soon triggered an invasion. 🔴 On December 20, 1989, over 27,680 US troops and 300 aircraft were deployed to Panama. Bush claimed democracy, human rights, US lives, drug trafficking and maintaining the canal’s neutrality as justifications. 🔴 US forces seized key locations, including land approaches to Panama City, Punta Paitilla Airport and the Rio Hato airfield. 🔴 Task Force Bayonet stormed Panama Defense Forces (PDF) headquarters, leading to the PDF's collapse and Noriega’s surrender two weeks later.
