Armenia drops Russia as strategic ally citing Moscow’s ‘failure’ to intervene against Azerbaijan
Since coming to power in 2018, Prime Minister Pashinyan has sought to move Armenia out of Russia’s sphere of influence and toward the west
What a clown. Armenia itself didn’t intervene against Azerbaijan and abandoned its own people. But Moscow should have intervened when Armenia didn’t even have the guts to claim NK as their territory and fight for it? Ridiculous.
It also be noted that Russian troops were in NK as peacekeepers before Pashinyan signed away the territory to Azerbaijan while in France, and made Russia leave. It’s utterly disgusting for Pashinyan’s government to speak about NK as if they didn’t throw the ethnically cleansed Armenians under the bus.
Yeah. It’s like “well, i officially gave this piece of land away, but i still expect you to fight for it on my behalf”, like…what?
And if Russia did that (and in doing so ruined their relationship with Azerbaijan, which, while a clearly malicious actor in that region and far from an ally of Russia, is still somehow less obsequiously servile to Western interests than Armenia) of course they would be thrown under the bus by the Western puppets in Armenia who would say, “well, we never asked them to fight for us, they are just stirring up trouble and being imperialists” and the “international community” would accuse them of illegitimate use of force. Moscow would have to be complete idiots to do it. Pashinyan is such a pathetic little worm.
❗️Israeli occupation forces and settlers storm villages across West Bank in coordinated raids
Expand
Israeli forces and armed settlers launched coordinated raids across multiple towns and villages throughout the occupied West Bank on Friday, according to local reports from the Wafa.
Hundreds of settlers backed by military protection stormed a locality near Nablus at dawn, forcefully converting a residential home into a temporary military outpost.
In nearby areas east of Nablus, settlers obstructed residents from reaching local mosques to perform Friday prayers, while a separate group of approximately fifty settlers targeted worshippers near Bethlehem.
Simultaneously, occupation forces conducted sweeping raids in towns near Tubas and stormed the Qalandia refugee camp, detaining at least one young Palestinian man during the operations.
The latest escalation follows a surge of settler violence and military incursions targeting rural communities across the West Bank.

Heaven help us. When we say this, it means we do our parts, in good (divine) time.
VIDEO | Hebrew media report Haredi Jews are blocking traffic on Route 443, which leads to occupied Jerusalem, due to the arrest of a Haredi man by Israeli police. The arrest was made because the man refused mandatory military service.
Wait until Little Satan starts kidnapping men off of the streets for conscription. Possibly the Great Satan, too.
❗️US satellite bans conceal aggression across West Asia, impairing data verification
Expand
Severe commercial and regulatory clampdowns enforced by Washington on US satellite imagery suppliers are systematically concealing the West Asia theater from public oversight, plunging independent investigators and news gatherers into information blackouts.
According to an investigation published by Gaspard Rouffin for Middle East Eye, leading US commercial vendor Planet Labs indefinitely froze high-resolution image distribution across the region following direct directives from Washington.
This deliberate opacity heavily obstructs structural damage assessments and battlefield verification across fronts in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, drawing warnings from experts that the measures function primarily to shield state actors from accountability under the guise of security concerns.
Regional analysts observe that these restrictions fail to hinder adversaries possessing native reconnaissance networks, serving instead to cripple open-source auditing and nurture fertile ground for official misinformation.
“The restrictions on US satellites are more about avoiding embarrassment or accountability than anything else,” investigative reporter Tom Brown told Middle East Eye.
The systematic information starvation has pushed researchers toward alternative suppliers, including Chinese commercial constellations and European systems, though advocates like Common Space co-founder Bill Greer cautioned Middle East Eye that “access to the information is being limited for political reasons, in support of an unpopular war.”

Let’s be real. The only people denying Israeli, Ukrainian, and US genocide and imperialism at this point are willfully ignorant, which makes anyone denying any of this guilty of “aiding, abetting, providing material comfort and support,” and a list of other war crimes that rival the list of United States creditors.
❗️Israeli occupation forces continue enforcing a complete siege on three Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank town of Qusra for the twentieth consecutive day, preventing residents from entering or leaving the Ras al-Ain area.
Last week Qusra Mayor Abdul Azim al-Wadi reported that the affected families are facing severe food and medicine shortages as troops block access to basic supplies, having turned one of the properties into a closed military zone.
❗️Summary of Israeli attacks in south Lebanon since midnight:
• Airstrike on Zawtar al-Sharqiya.
• Airstrike on Mansouri.
• Artillery shelling targeting the outskirts of Ali al-Taher.
• Artillery shelling targeting Wadi al-Hujair.
• Movement of Israeli military vehicles in Al-Bayada and Mansouri.
• Helicopter combing operations toward Al-Qantara and Wadi al-Salouqi.
• Advance of Israeli military vehicles from Houla toward Wadi al-Salouqi, coinciding with artillery shelling and combing operations in the area.

❗️Thousands of Gaza patients remain stranded due to Israeli restrictions and blockade
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that thousands of patients across the Gaza Strip are still waiting for urgent medical evacuations to receive life-saving treatment due to Israeli restrictions.
Reporting on recent humanitarian logistics, Tedros noted that the agency facilitated the transfer of 106 patients, including 19 children, through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem crossings alongside 132 relatives.
This brings the total number of medical transferees since October 2023 to over 13,200 patients, though health officials stress that ongoing border closures imposed by Israel and severe resource constraints continue to strand the vast majority of those requiring specialized care outside the besieged enclave.
Emphasizing that “medical evacuations give people in need of urgent care a chance of survival,” the WHO chief called for sustained, unimpeded access across multiple crossing routes to avert further preventable loss of life.
The appeals coincide with a spiraling humanitarian catastrophe driven by relentless military operations and a sweeping blockade that has left local health infrastructure near total collapse.
❗️Netanyahu urges far right allies to merge ticket ahead of vote to prevent bloc collapse
Expand
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly pressed ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich to merge their political factions ahead of upcoming elections, warning that running separately risks wasting vital votes.
In a video shared on social media, Netanyahu pointed to the 1992 electoral defeat caused by right-wing fragmentation, which brought about the Oslo Accords, and stated, “They must unite. Every time we ran together, we won. When we ran separately, we lost.”
According to The Jerusalem Post, recent polling indicates that Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party is struggling to clear the 3.25 percent electoral threshold, while a joint slate could secure eight mandates.
Ben-Gvir firmly rejected the merger proposal, accusing the prime minister of attempting to sideline his Otzma Yehudit party to form a broader centrist coalition with opposition figures.

Looks like Netanyahu thrown under the bus will be the strategy imperialists use to try and resuscitate the public opinion of the zionist entity.
