China's Kill Switch and Ukraine Chaos | Dec 30

from Hot News · host Avis Ahmed

Trump and Zelensky’s meetings yielded no breakthrough because Russia's military momentum solidifies its refusal to yield annexed territory. A Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's residence has triggered vows of severe Russian retaliation against Ukrainian command infrastructure. Netanyahu is pressing for war with Iran to destroy its missiles, even as Western publics increasingly oppose the Gaza conflict. China is leveraging critical minerals like antimony and silver to cripple U.S. defense and green energy sectors. Critics claim Western elites use Operation Gladio-style destabilization and Russophobia to protect a crumbling globalist order. European de-industrialization and political unrest are accelerating due to sky-high energy costs and unsustainable Ukraine funding. The U.S.-led unipolar order is declining as BRICS nations establish a resource-backed financial system independent of the dollar.
