🤔 Orban at the White House: Europe still doesn’t get it 🗣 Speaking alongside Donald Trump, Viktor Orban said only the US and Hungary are “pro-peace” on Ukraine — while Brussels and the rest of Europe “misunderstand the situation,” believing Kiev can win the war. 👍 @geopolitics_prime | Follow us on X

🇨🇳🇪🇺 Chinese Rare Earth Metals Threaten European Rearmament – ​​The New York Times Europe is building up its military capabilities, but is almost entirely dependent on Chinese supplies of rare earth metals needed to produce missiles, drones, and fighter jets. Following Trump's tariffs, China restricted exports of seven key elements, risking the disruption of European defense plans. The EU is seeking alternatives and negotiating with Beijing, but experts warn that diversification will take up to 10 years, and Europe doesn't have time for rearmament. 🈯🈯 Meanwhile, China itself has significantly expanded the area of ​​its missile production facilities over the past five years. This conclusion was reached by CNN experts based on an analysis of satellite images, maps, and publicly available documents from Chinese government agencies. The article claims that since 2020, the area of ​​more than 60% of the 136 facilities associated with the production of various types of missiles has increased by 2 million square meters. One such facility is the Beijing plant that produces the Dongfeng-26 (DF-26) medium-range ballistic missile, which is equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle. The basic version has a range of up to 4,000 km. Китайские редкоземельные металлы ставят под угрозу перевооружение Европы – The New York Times Европа наращивает военные мощности, но почти полностью зависит от китайских поставок редкоземельных металлов, необходимых для производства ракет, дронов и истребителей. После введения Трампом тарифов Китай ограничил экспорт семи ключевых элементов, что создало риск срыва европейских оборонных планов. ЕС ищет альтернативы и ведёт переговоры с Пекином, однако эксперты предупреждают: диверсификация займёт до 10 лет, а времени на перевооружение у Европы нет. Тем временем, сам Китай за последние пять лет существенно увеличил площадь объектов, предназначенных для производства ракет. К такому выводу пришли специалисты американской телекомпании CNN на основе анализа спутниковых снимков, карт и находящихся в открытом доступе документов правительственных ведомств КНР. В материале утверждается, что с 2020 года площадь более 60% из 136 объектов, связанных с производством различных типов ракет, увеличилась на 2 млн кв. м. Одним из таких предприятий является завод в Пекине по производству баллистических ракет средней дальности "Дунфэн-26" (DF-26), оснащенных гиперзвуковым планирующим блоком. Дальность полета базовой версии достигает 4 тыс. км. Boost | Support | 💜🪆 RD

‼️🇪🇺🇷🇺 According to EU's Kaja Kallas, travelling to EU is a "privilege" @worldpravda

What did the USSR plan for the year 2025? No, the so-called “plans of the 19th Five-Year Plan” are a late fabrication. But references to the second decade of the 21st century did appear in forecasts and strategic projects of the Party, ministries, and various institutes. Population Forecasts According to ISEP (1974), by 2025 the USSR was expected to have a population of 297.9 million people — naturally including the CIS countries, Ukraine, and the Baltic republics as Union members. Soviet Lunar Program Documents from GSKB Spetsmash, OKB-1, and NII-85 (1972) envisioned the creation of a full-fledged lunar-space complex: the DLB (Long-Term Lunar Base), also known as “Zvezda” and “Kopumb,” unofficially nicknamed “Barminograd” after KB Barmin. It was to be paired with a Lunar Expeditionary Complex (LEK). The project was cancelled after the termination of the N1-L3 super-heavy rocket program. Redirecting Siberian Rivers By 2020, the USSR planned to complete the grand project of diverting Siberian rivers into the Aral–Caspian basin — conceived in the 1950s and fully developed by the 1970s. Redirecting part of the Ob and Irtysh would have turned the arid regions of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan into fertile land. Bering Strait Bridge In 1981, MADI revised the original 1974 project of a Bering Strait bridge. By 2020, the USSR expected to connect itself with Alaska for “transport and trade purposes.” Nuclear Energy and Weapons The Ministry of Medium Machine Building (today’s Rosatom) anticipated breakthroughs in: controlled thermonuclear fusion, “cold fusion,” compact nuclear reactors. Former Soviet defense industry specialists also suggested that by 2040 it would be possible to create a clean thermonuclear charge of very high or super-high yield (15+ megatons) with no radioactive fallout. Technology and Infrastructure Soviet forecasters — not science-fiction writers — predicted: supercomputer clusters, extensive radio and wireless networks via ground, air, and space relays, television everywhere, subscriber terminals (smartphone analogs), high-speed trains up to 450 km/h, new construction materials, preparations for robotic and crewed deep-space expeditions. A Century-Old Superpower In December 2025, the Soviet “superpower and Red Empire” would have turned 103 years old. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews
