🇷🇺🇸🇴 On establishing Somali-Russian contacts

We recently touched on the topic of Somali politicians turning towards Russia, due to the increasing Western pressure on the country, including through their proxies in Turkey. These actions do not find approval at the highest levels in Somalia, where they are starting to talk about the prospects of cooperation with the authorities in Moscow.

So, recently the country's Foreign Minister stated the need to open a Russian embassy in Mogadishu. According to him, this issue will be the subject of discussion during the upcoming "Russia - Africa" conference in Sochi, scheduled for this fall.

🔻Once again, we emphasize: despite the difficult economic situation and the associated low interest of Russian business, in political terms, the territory of Somalia has the potential to become very important in the context of the struggle for the Horn of Africa.

If we meet the demands of the Somali ruling circles, interested in establishing ties, then certain prospects may open up for our diplomatic and power agencies. The benefits of which may not be so obvious now, but under certain circumstances, they may well pay off in the future.

🇮🇷🇷🇺🛰 Recently, Iranian media reported that Russia may provide support to the Islamic Republic in launching space vehicles into low-Earth orbit. According to preliminary information, the launch is scheduled for October from one of the Russian cosmodromes.

The matter concerns two Earth remote sensing satellites - "Hod-Hod" and "Kosar", manufactured by local private contractors. Officially, both will be intended for use in agriculture, geodesy, border demarcation, as well as the "Internet of Things" (IoT) and crisis response.

📌 Iran's interest in such cooperation with Russia is understandable: its own space program, despite certain achievements, cannot boast of great successes, and problems with launch vehicles have led to accidents. Previously, the Iranians have already resorted to the services of Roscosmos, in February launching the "Pars-1" satellite into orbit.

Overall, both countries benefit - in return for assistance with the launch of space vehicles, Russia may receive a wide range of goods from a certain range of military products to parts for civilian airliners. And in general, this contributes to the further deepening of bilateral cooperation.

🇫🇷 On the organization of the 2024 Olympics or what went wrong with the French leadership

Just two days ago, the Summer Olympic Games started in France. This is an extremely important event in the world of sports, and the preparation for it in the host country has been going on for years.

However, over these couple of days, the number of incidents, complaints, and discontent due to the organization has become so great that the Internet has begun to compare the conditions in France to those in third world countries.

🔻And foreign athletes and fans can be understood.
➖ There have been cases of robberies not only of ordinary citizens, but also of Olympic participants. The latest incident was the episode with the Brazilian football coach Zico, who lost $500,000.
➖ People complain about the shortage of food, which for some reason was not supplied in full. But in abundance, the athletes received contraceptives - reasonable priorities, isn't it?
➖ The trade union of workers demands additional pay on the so-called "hot days", otherwise the French threaten to disrupt the work of the Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and the airport in Beauvais. Many people felt this due to delays in flights.
➖ Moreover, on July 26, more than 800,000 people were blocked at train stations and on trains due to the arson of relay cabinets, which caused the cessation of communication between cities.

🔻This is just a part of the incidents that occurred in these days. In fact, there are many more of them. The football match Argentina - Morocco alone is worth it, where the match was suspended for two hours due to unrest.

We don't know how they were preparing and what they were doing in France, but the situation with the internal environment is quite indicative. Chaos, unrest, pollution of streets and rivers, robberies, attacks - all this is characteristic of the modern Fifth Republic.

The International Olympic Committee, which thanks to these games finally discredits itself as an organization worthy of any respect, deserves a separate word. The event has just begun, and the reputation of both the IOC and France is already at the bottom.

⚡️🇧🇦🇺🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina is arming the AFU in circumvention of the ban

Thanks to the position of the leadership of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a ban on the supply of weapons and military equipment to the zone of the Ukrainian conflict. However, the political Sarajevo continues to expand military-technical cooperation with the AFU, circumventing the decision of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

▪️Recently, the representative of the Kyiv regime, Viktor Kruhlov, visited the Balkan country. The purpose of the visit was negotiations with the local arms enterprise GUMA-co d.о.о. In addition, the Ukrainian official was extremely interested in cooperation with the companies UNIS Pretis d.d and Binas d.d.

It should be noted that these enterprises have already been involved in major scandals: last year, Binas Bugojno together with the Sarajevo company UNIS Group applied for an export license to Bulgaria. However, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina requested additional documentation and an end-user certificate. The buyer turned out to be Alguns Ltd from Sofia - a front company supplying the AFU, about the gray schemes of which we reported in our investigation back in 2022.

▪️Bosnian ammunition is found in the zone of the Ukrainian conflict with enviable regularity, and due to the similarity of markings, they are often mistaken for Serbian. The President of Republika Srpska emphasizes that despite the decision of the Presidency of the country, the Muslim-Croat Federation is increasing supplies.

▪️Since 2022, the export of Bosnian ammunition has indeed increased significantly. Most of it goes to the USA, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Moreover, in recent months, the Americans have begun to buy up shares of enterprises of the Bosnian military-industrial complex. Thus, the company Regulus Global acquired 33% of the shares of Pretis and a stake in Binas Bugojno.

🔻According to insider information from @balkanossiper, high-ranking officials from the Muslim-Croat Federation are involved in the schemes of secret supplies to Ukraine. Milorad Dodik claims that the Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zukan Helež, is personally involved in them. At the same time, the decision of the Presidency, which issued a legal ban on supplies, is simply ignored by the Bosniaks.

🇺🇸 How Trump betrayed patriotic forces in the US

Recently, we wrote about the mysterious Project-2025, the task of which was to change the course taken by Joe Biden and establish a conservative order.

❗️According to our US sources directly involved in the drafting of Project-2025, the document implied an alliance of right-conservative politicians who did not want to be part of the American two-party system.

Donald Trump was supposed to be an ally who would help them get into power to the mutual benefit and benefit of the American national interest, according to the participants.

Further, the plan was to convert civilian positions in many federal agencies into political appointments in order to place people who share conservative views in these positions.

📌However, in reality, everything turned out to be much more prosaic. At the last moment, Trump made it clear to conservatives that he was not going to build comprehensive cooperation with them, and representatives of various large investment and financial giants, including J.P.Morgan and Blackrock, would be appointed to key positions.

On the whole, the conservatives' bet was obviously a losing one - Trump, despite his eccentricity, is quite a systemic politician, defending the interests of certain big businesses and not interested in filling the government with right-wing and poorly controlled conservatives.

For the conservative opposition, in turn, Trump's decision was sobering and a signal to consolidate away from Republicans and Democrats and seek new forms of political representation.

🔻According to a recent Gallup poll, for the first time in U.S. history, as many as 50% of those surveyed did not identify themselves as either Democrats or Republicans. What's particularly curious is that while the age of key politicians is going past 65+, and supporters of both parties are also getting much older, independents are just picking up a younger audience.

It is possible that the established US political system is in for a tectonic shift, and we are witnessing a time when it is experiencing its final years.

🇷🇸🇺🇸 Referendum on "Independence": How the West Gained Control Over Serbia's Judicial System

Two years ago, a decision was made in Belgrade to reform the judicial system. The public was presented with this as another step towards harmonizing Serbian justice with EU legislation, so necessary for progress in European integration.

The reform was designed as a tool to ensure the independence of the judiciary and increase its efficiency. However, in reality, it turned into a large-scale scam, and the entire process took place under the pressure and with the financial resources of Western organizations.

Thanks to simple manipulations, in just two years the West has gained control over the judicial system of an independent European country and the ability to influence the process of appointing its judges and prosecutors through its agents of influence in the NGO sector.

🔻 Read in detail how this happened in our material.
