👀 A Tale of two brothers part deux (Will Pavel hand over the keys?)
The question now: Will Pavel resist the pressure, or will he hand over Nikolai's secrets (keys)? I can't shake this crazy feeling that this could be a Russian Trojan play
Imagine if Pavel was always a closet Putin loyalist—playing the part, securing Western markets for Telegram, and passing all the "credentials checks"—all while never truly holding the keys to anything of real value. Those keys? Safely with others, including Nikolai. Pavel might have been the handsome bait all along, giving the appearance of someone who could be flipped.
Meanwhile, Europe will burn (tragically) as the gasoline of censorship is thrown onto already smoldering embers, and even in the US—where this order likely originated—the Harris-Biden administration could pay a massive price for this reckless assault on basic freedoms and ‘rights’. But here’s the kicker: They’ll get nothing tangible in return for their reckless gamble.
Beware of Yanks bearing cookies, but be extra wary of Russian geopol, chess grandmasters. Time will tell.

🔇UK MP George Galloway asks Elon Musk not to come to Europe:
After what happened to the Telegram boss [Durov], I strongly advise Elon Musk not to come to Europe… You can't be sure you will not meet the same fate. They have arrested journalists…
Where’s the freedom of speech of the democratic West gone?

Flashback: Remember that time Obama "joked" about wanting a third term by puppeteering from behind the scenes? Well, it turns out, the joke was on us. With Biden as the perfect puppet, he effectively secured his third term. But why stop there?
Look at these two graphs closely. They don’t just show lines converging—they show democracy bending into a not-so-subtle “F-you” to the American people.
Is Obama quietly setting the stage for a fourth term via Kamala? The script is already written, and it's a plot twist no one asked for.

Politico writes:
Ukrainian officials are preparing to present a list of long-range targets in Russia to top U.S. national security officials that they think Kiev’s military can hit if Washington were to lift its restrictions on U.S. weapons.
Ukraine is using the list as a last-ditch effort to convince the US to lift the restrictions on US weapons being used inside Russia. While Ukraine has previously provided the US some of its potential targets in Russia, this list is supposed to be more tailored.
Umerov and Yermak, will be in D.C. this week.
The US notes they won't make a difference in the war as Russia has moved its most important targets, including aircraft, out of reach.
While escalation is still a concern, Biden has more recently been stressing its belief that there is little tactical advantage, given Russia moving assets out of range. The administration also assesses that Ukraine does not have enough ATACAMS anyways.

Russia's doctrine of using nuclear weapons "is currently being clarified," Lavrov said.
He called the discussion of Ukraine's possible use of Storm Shadow missiles for strikes deep into Russia "playing with fire".

The Kremlin does not use messengers for official correspondence, this would be a violation of the rules, Peskov said.
Therefore, no one is calling on anyone to "clean up correspondence" in Telegram against the backdrop of Durov's arrest in France, the presidential press secretary emphasized.
Other statements by Peskov at the briefing
▪️Russia hopes that Pavel Durov has all the means to defend himself legally.
▪️The charges brought against Durov are serious, they require no less serious evidence, otherwise it will be political issue.
▪️Russia is ready to provide legal assistance to Pavel Durov, who was detained in France, as its citizen.
▪️The Kiev regime continues to show its true colors by putting pressure on freedom of religion and the Orthodox Church.
▪️Inflation in Russia is above target levels, the Central Bank and the government are taking measures to reduce inflationary tensions.

French journalist Aldo Sterone:
I'm going to tell you now how Macron fooled Telegram founder Pavel Durov. What happened to this great friend of Macron's? Just three years ago, he gave him a French passport. That was in 2021. Mr. Durov refused to cooperate with the Russian authorities. And it was for that reason that Macron accepted him. He was told: here you are, Mr. Durov, a champion of free speech in Russia. That's how he was given a passport in 2021. But the problem is that he believed it. When in fact, the French, Macron, allowed this network to be used to foment turmoil in the country and allowed people who were anti-Russian to use it. Secretly, France actually applauded because France is at war with Russia, even though Macron didn't see fit to declare war. At some point, Durov is told: well, now you're going to have to help us, you're going to give us information, you're going to give us access. He's young and believes in free speech on the Internet and all that. And now he's shocked by the demands of the French, who yesterday were congratulating him on free speech and today are asking for censorship. He realized, perhaps too late - he'll have time to think about it in prison - that the French don't defend free speech at all. The only reason they defend it is because of their anti-Russian stance.
