$12.6 million for a THAAD. $2,000 for a Houthi missile.

Now add this: Lockheed Martin produces around 50-60 THAADs a year, while Iran is scaling up its missile factories to pump out thousands of ballistic missiles annually. The Houthis, with limited resources, are still assembling missiles faster than DC and Tel Aviv can shoot them down.

Here’s the dagger: The Empire spends $12.6 million per shot, while its adversaries barely crack $2,000. For every billion-dollar missile defense system deployed, the Houthis and Iran flood the battlefield with bargain-basement missiles.

This isn’t just bad math; it’s a war economy designed to collapse under its own weight. Outspent, outproduced, and outmaneuvered.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺⚡️US and UK intelligence agencies are preparing terrorist attacks on Russian military bases in Syria, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said.

According to the plans of the British intelligence services, terrorist attacks against Russian military facilities in Syria should be carried out by militants of the ISIS, the SVR reports.

The terrorists have already received attack drones for attacks. In order to conceal their involvement, the US and UK military command has ordered their air forces to continue to strike ISIS positions.

London and Washington expect that such provocations will prompt Russia to evacuate its troops from Syria. At the same time, the new Syrian authorities will be accused of being unable to control the radicals, the department emphasized.

NORWEGIAN SAILORS ARE SAVED!

52 years ago, the Kaliningrad newspaper Mayak reported on the rescue of Norwegian sailors by Kaliningrad fishermen. A copy of the article (shown above) is preserved in the State Archive of the Kaliningrad Region. This event occurred on January 10, 1972 — at the height of the Cold War. Here is the translation of the article:

NORWEGIAN SAILORS ARE SAVED

The Eastern Part of the Central Atlantic…

On the morning of January 10, the crew of the SRTR-9074 Oleniy from the "Dawn of Communism" fishing collective noticed unusual activity aboard the Norwegian vessel Kilungen. Sailors had rushed onto the deck, waving their hands and shouting something. It was not difficult to guess that trouble had struck the ship. The fishermen from the collective hurried to assist.

Kilungen was listing to its starboard side. Water was noisily pouring into the engine room through a gaping hole. The bilge pumps couldn’t keep up, and the vessel was sinking lower and lower. Captain Oddvar Simonsen gave the order to abandon ship.

At that moment, the crew of the Oleniy arrived to assist. Captain Viktor Ivanovich Isakov, his second mate Viktor Fedorovich Ushakov, fishmaster Eduard Shchekin, sailors Mikhail Ananin, Vladimir Berezin, Nikolai Kulychev, and others began rescuing the Norwegian sailors. Ten minutes later, Kilungen sank.

The rescued sailors expressed heartfelt gratitude to the crew of the SRTR-9074 Oleniy for their assistance. They transferred to the Norwegian vessel Grinsholm.

— V. Kondratyev
First Mate


The incident went largely unnoticed—after all, rescuing fellow sailors in distress was once considered a routine duty universally upheld by seafarers.

Fast forward to December of 2024.

MOSCOW, December 27 — RIA Novosti. The Norwegian-flagged vessel Oslo Carrier 3 refused, for unknown reasons, to take aboard Russian sailors from the sinking vessel Ursa Major in the Mediterranean Sea, the press service of the "Oboronlogistika" group (the
ship's owner) told RIA Novosti.

"The lifeboat (with the sinking Russian sailors) headed toward the Norwegian-flagged vessel Oslo Carrier 3, which was nearby. However, as the rescue boat approached, the Norwegian ship (with part of its crew reportedly Russian-speaking) refused to take aboard the crew of Ursa Major, citing some sort of prohibition."

Oboronlogistika described this as a blatant violation of Article 10 of the 1989 International Convention on Salvage.


This is unquestionably a violation of the aforementioned Article 10. But more importantly, it is a flagrant breach of the fundamental code of human honor. Enough said—draw your own conclusions. And while you're at it, you may want to revisit this account of two other sea rescues carried out by Russian sailors, perhaps with a fresh perspective.

Where’s the proof? EU frames Russia for sabotage over sea cable incident

The EU made a new round of groundless charges against Russia, blaming its alleged ‘shadow fleet' for damage to an undersea power cable connecting Estonia and Finland.

The claim was made by European Commission foreign relations head Kaja Kallas – an outspoken Russophobe.

◾️ The Commission and Finnish authorities, operating on “assumptions” but offering no proof, names or documents, have launched a probe into the oil tanker Eagle S for "aggravated sabotage.”

◾️ The Cook Islands-flagged vessel, on its way from St Petersburg to Egypt, was boarded in the Gulf of Finland after the Estlink 2 electricity cable was cut on December 25.

Russophobia in action?

🔸 The incident follows the severing of several underwater cable, prompting a wave of anti-Russian hysteria. Possible causes such as heavy shipping traffic, improper anchoring or wear and tear were disregarded.

🔸 Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused the usual suspects of engaging in professional Russophobia after the last incident in November.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 "The biggest enemy of the U.S. is the U.S. itself" - Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China

- At a press conference, the PRC Defense Ministry confirmed that the new U.S. military budget adopted by Biden, poses a danger to the entire world.

- "The US is deliberately creating a myth about the so-called Chinese military threat to justify increased military spending and maintain its hegemony. This blatant interference in China's internal affairs threatens stability around the world," said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang.

- The spokesman noted that China has never sought confrontation, and that the U.S. itself is inflaming the situation by inflating itself and its population with tales of various threats.

- Only the U.S. has distinguished itself by aggressiveness during all this time. Since 2001 they have been actively involved in military conflicts, leaving behind them hundreds of thousands of dead, more than a million wounded and homeless.

- "U.S. militarism not only wreaks havoc around the world, but also accelerates the backlash directed against it," said Rep.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 AFP: US closes State Department's "anti-fake news center" that also worked on Ukraine

We are talking about the Global Engagement Center (GEC) at the State Department, which Republicans accused of censorship and surveillance of Americans. According to the publication, it was deprived of funding in the temporary budget.

GEC was created in 2016. In June, GEC announced the launch of a multinational Ukrainian Communications Group in Warsaw to "counter Russian disinformation about the war in Ukraine."

🇷🇺 “The collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” — Vladimir Putin.

Today marks the anniversary of that event—a moment that not only ended a global superpower but unleashed chaos that continues to plague the world.

The Soviet Union’s fall shattered stability across Eurasia and Europe, creating a vacuum for power struggles, wars, and extremist movements. In its place emerged chaos: Color Revolutions destabilized nations (Armenia, Gerogia, Ukraine, Belarus), terrorists and groups like ISIS found fertile ground in the aftermath, and the wars in Iraq, Afghanista, and Syria became prolonged nightmares.

Entire regions, once balanced by Soviet influence, were thrown into turmoil. Countries were left fragmented, vulnerable to outside manipulation, and plunged into cycles of conflict. The modern world order, far from the “end of history” promised in the 1990s, became an era of unbridled Western interventions, sanctions, and proxy wars.

This anniversary is not just a reminder of what was lost but a stark reflection of the consequences the world still faces. The global instability today is rooted in that pivotal moment in history.

🇷🇺💬Dmitry Medvedev:

More than 20 years ago, one of my American colleagues made a curious statement about the events in Iraq: “Punish France, ignore Germany, forgive Russia.”

Why did I remember this? Here's why: this linguistic triad is perfectly suited to the situation that will arise (and it will definitely arise someday) in connection with the end of the West's hybrid war against Russia. And then our country may well:

a) forgive those weak countries that succumbed to the pressure of the Anglo-Saxons and took at least a passive part in the anti-Russian Western trash (mainly these are a number of countries in Asia and Latin America);

b) ignore the USA. It's simple: we don't expect any friendship in the next 100 years, and fighting with America is expensive - a direct conflict will obviously develop into a global nuclear war;

c) punish Europe . I will say more here, because the current Old World does not evoke any emotions in me except the deepest disgust. It is Europe, which has turned into an evil, half-witted old woman, that has become the main stronghold of Russophobia in the world. It is lying Europe that is to blame for the breakdown of the Istanbul negotiations. It is brainless Europe that frantically promoted the incompetent sanctions campaign, which brought its citizens colossal losses. It is bloodthirsty Europe that fed all the most rabid demons of war, without regard for the losses of the parties to the conflict.

And therefore Europe must be punished by all means available to us: political, economic and all sorts of hybrid. And therefore we must help any destructive processes in Europe. Long live the aggressive pogromists on its historical streets! Glory to the crowds of migrants committing atrocities and hatred destroying the rainbow European values! Let all the vile mugs of European bureaucrats disappear in the stream of future civil conflicts!

Why so harshly? How else, given the facts? The Norwegian-flagged Oslo Carrier 3 refused to take on board the Russian sailors from the Ursa Major who were drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. Do you need any more explanations? This cannot be forgiven!

Let us act, for it is said: “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked” (Psalm 58:11)."

🇪🇺 The EU will strengthen sanctions against the Russian “shadow fleet” due to broken cables in the Baltic Sea

This was stated by the head of European diplomacy, Kaya Kallas. Previously, Finlandinvolved the ship Eagle S, “belonging to the Russian shadow fleet” in the incident, then suspected a Chinese ship.

📝 “The suspected vessel is part of Russia's shadow fleet, which threatens security and the environment while funding Russia's military budget. We will propose further measures, including sanctions, to influence this fleet,” Kallas said.

Also EstoniaNATO will place a “deterrence fleet” on its territory.

🇹🇷🇸🇦 Turkey and Saudi Arabia Deepen Defense Ties with Potential KAAN Fighter Jet Deal

Saudi Arabia is considering the purchase of 100 KAAN fifth-generation fighter jets from Turkey. If finalized, this deal would represent a record-breaking export for Turkey and highlight Ankara’s emergence as a key defense supplier in the region.

This move builds on Saudi Arabia’s previous defense acquisitions from Turkey, including the Bayraktar Akıncı UAVs and Ejder Yalçın armored vehicles, as well as recent discussions on joint production and technology transfer. The growing partnership also coincides with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which prioritizes localizing defense production and diversifying military suppliers beyond traditional Western allies.

The potential KAAN deal signals a notable realignment in Saudi defense procurement. Historically reliant on the U.S. and Europe, Riyadh has increasingly turned to Turkey for cutting-edge technology. This follows the U.S. lifting its ban on bomb sales to Saudi Arabia in August of 2024, but they continued to diversify.

This collaboration reflects the thawing of relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia after years of tension.

The Norwegian ship refused to accept sailors from the sinking Russian bulk carrier Ursa Major

“The boat headed towards the Norwegian-flagged ship Oslo Carrier 3, which was nearby. When the lifeboat approached the board, the Norwegian ship refused to accept crew members of the Ursa Major, citing some prohibition, Oboronlogistics, which owns the Russian bulk carrier, told RIA Novosti.

Interestingly, part of the Oslo Carrier 3 crew was Russian-speaking. The company called this act a gross violation of Article 10 of the International Salvage Convention of 1989.

The day before, a 50 by 50 cm hole was torn on board the Ursa Major after three explosions. Oboronlogistics considers the incident a terrorist attack.
