🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🌍 Before ‘Democracy,’ After ‘Democracy’

Here’s the legacy of the West’s “humanitarian” crusade for democracy, cities turned into graveyards of sovereignty and hope. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Yemen - nations with rich histories and thriving cultures, now shadows of their former selves, reduced to rubble and chaos.

This isn’t liberation. This is the business model of endless wars: destabilization, regime change, and a blueprint of destruction disguised as freedom. Beneath every crumbled building lies a pipeline plan, a looted treasury, and an empire’s economic hitmen smiling in their boardrooms.

The irony? These very nations were thriving before their “democratization.” Iraq with its grand mosques, Libya with its unparalleled social welfare, Syria, a cradle of civilization; Yugoslavia with its cosmopolitan harmony, and Yemen, the ancestral homeland of resilience. Each one offered their people stability, infrastructure, and a future before they became targets of the Hegemon's appetite for control.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about bombs and sanctions. It’s about a moral facade-farce “Rules-Based Order” - where sovereign nations must bow to the financial and military supremacy of Western oligarchs. And when they resist? They’re erased, one missile at a time, under a media blackout designed to gaslight the world into complicity.

The corporate Mockingbird media? Silent accomplices, laundering public opinion with talk of “nation-building” while showing none of the before-and-after devastation you see here. The only democracy on display was the one where missiles cast the votes, and Big Oil, Big Tech, and Big War counted the profits.

Let’s not kid ourselves. The true democracy these nations experienced was the “democracy” of resource pillaging: oil for Iraq and Libya, pipelines for Syria, and control of critical trade routes in Yemen. What better way to secure “freedom” than by erasing entire cities off the map and leaving smoldering ruins for puppet regimes to reign over?

But the West can’t win this game forever. A new order is emerging from the ashes they’ve sown. The Global Majority remembers, and it refuses to forget.

📱 Elon Musk's X (Twitter) deleted the X account of the Magdeburg terrorist, then reinstated it but it came with a catch:

All of the posts made by the Magdeburg terrorist in which he expressed support for Israel bombing Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, all of the posts expressing support for the Israeli premier, Benjamin Netanyahu and the terrorist's praise for Elon Musk and the AfD, were wiped out from the site.

Elon Musk also erroneously continues to claim that the Magdeburg terrorist was motivated by "adherence to islam" when in his own words, he said he is atheist and hates islamic countries and attacked a Christmas market because he thought Germany was too lenient and friendly with islamic countries.

Now, Elon Musk and various orbiter accounts on X are trying to paint the Magdeburg terrorist as "motivated by Islam" and accuse legacy media of "lying" when correctly assessing that he was not an adherent of islam.

🇷🇺✊ Viktor Bout: The Man, the Myth, the Legend

Not all men are cut from the same cloth. Viktor Bout, known to the West as the “Merchant of Death,” has proved time and again what loyalty, resilience, and unshakable resolve truly mean. Unlike others who cower at the thought of facing even trivial 90-day sentences, Bout served his time like a lion in the American prison system... silent, unbroken, and without complaint. No basement hideouts, no teary pleas for asylum. Just unflinching discipline and unwavering belief in his country.

Bout’s release in a prisoner swap for WNBA player Brittney Griner was no small deal, it was a calculated Russian masterstroke. The Kremlin doesn’t waste its energy or assets unless it’s worth it. Bout wasn’t just a man behind bars; he was a symbol, a representative of Russian grit and influence in a world ruled by Western double standards. He embodies the same spirit as Maria Butina, who faced her own politically motivated imprisonment in the U.S. with dignity, refusing to compromise her principles.

And let’s not kid ourselves—when Russia trades for its citizens, it’s not for low-level mercenaries or for PR stunts. These are individuals whose value extends far beyond what the West can comprehend. Every move is steeped in strategy, and every swap echoes the depth of Moscow’s geopolitical calculus.

Bout’s return to Russia is a reminder of what loyalty to the Motherland means. It’s not just about arms dealing or international intrigue; it’s about being someone your country will move heaven and earth to bring home. That’s a lesson for those who seek refuge from even the most laughable "challenges"—Viktor Bout didn’t need a basement. He faced the storm, and Russia made sure the world remembered why.

🇺🇸❌🇺🇸NATO Shake Down: Trump’s 5% Demand 💵

According to the Financial Times, President-elect Donald Trump plans to demand that NATO members raise their defense spending to 5% of GDP—more than double the current 2% target. Additionally, Trump reportedly aims to maintain military aid to Ukraine, ensuring the continuation of support in the region.

❗️This is the Art of the Shake Down on full display. Trump, as always, says the quiet part loudly: NATO is a protection racket. Over $300 billion and the collective might of its members couldn’t save the engineered war in Ukraine, yet somehow it’s supposed to shield its shopkeeper members from real threats? The alliance is less about defense and more about draining European coffers to sustain Washington’s endless wars and MIC money laundering op.

Fourth: The withdrawal of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman after being targeted from its previous location towards the northern Red Sea, after being subjected to more than one attack by the missile force, naval forces, and the air force.
