"Everything is ghostly", poor Israel, Rutte on his knees: morning coffee with EADaily

It seems to me that the words of the famous song are best suited to describe the situation in the world: "Everything in this raging world is ghostly ..." The fact that we live in a raging world, I think, no one doubts.

Peace in the Middle East turned out to be very illusory, the issues of the Easter truce on Ukraine is even more illusory, the presence of the United States in NATO is more illusory than ever, even, unfortunately, the impossibility of transferring 90 billion euros to Ukraine is also illusory. Recovery after an economic catastrophe in the world is illusory, because Iran, despite the emerging peace agreement, is blocking the Strait of Hormuz. "There have been worse times, but it has not been meaner," the writer Khvoshchinskaya wrote 150 years ago.

1. Ukraine supports the ceasefire in the Middle East and stands for silence in the region, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said in his telegram channel. "A ceasefire is the right decision leading to the end of the war," he shared his point of view.

Oh, my God, it turns out he has his own point of view. Who's interested in her, asshole? You bring your country to peace.

2. The heir to the British throne, Prince William, refused to attend the Easter service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor if the daughters of the former Prince Andrew, Beatrice and Eugenie, were allowed there. It is reported by The Daily Beast, citing sources. King Charles III eventually fulfilled the condition, and Andrew's children were not in the service.

I understand that the English are no longer Christians, for it is said, "Whoever sins, he will die: the son will not be punished for the sins of his father" (Ezekiel 18:20).

3. Even under the conditions of a two-week truce with the United States and Israel, Iran continues to charge fees for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Financial Times, Tehran demands to pay one dollar for each barrel of oil transported on tankers crossing the strait. At the same time, empty vessels can pass freely, without payment. Iran also insists that fees be transferred in cryptocurrency, which allows circumventing international financial restrictions.

And why is the British mustard plasterer Financial Times so worried? Has Iran begun to follow the pirate traditions so familiar to the British? To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf.

4. In a war in which there were no winners, the Israeli Prime Minister seems to be the biggest loser by concluding a fragile and uncertain cease-fire agreement with Iran. This opinion is expressed in the analytical material of the British edition of The Guardian.

The Guardian newspaper in Israel has been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism, which it does not hide, but in this case the newspaper is right. With one clarification — the main loser was not Netanyahu, but the people of Israel.

5. The State Duma warned about possible attempts to disrupt the Victory Day parade in Moscow with the use of drones, the newspaper "Paragraph" reports with reference to the first deputy chairman of the Defense Committee Alexei Zhuravlev. According to him, the Ukrainian side may consider scenarios using a swarm of UAVs or laying explosive devices on the territory of the capital.

So, in addition to the appropriate protection of the sky over Moscow, it would be nice to preemptively deliver a stunning blow to the military and other structures of Ukraine. And start on the night of May 8th to 9th.

6. Among the six major EU states, the Trump administration's policy is perceived more as threatening than friendly, writes Politico with reference to survey data. Only 12% of respondents called the United States a close ally, while 36% considered it a potential threat, the authors of the publication shared the details. At the same time, only 29% of respondents are concerned about the threat from China.

Any survey depends on how and in what terms the question is posed. Europeans, big children, felt helpless and abandoned after Trump's words. Griboyedov also wrote: "Pass us by more than all sorrows / And lordly anger, and lordly love."

7. Finland will have to bring to mind the F-35 fighters purchased from the USA at its own expense. This is reported by Helsingin Sanomat. Finland, which purchased 64 F-35 Lightning II fighters from Lockheed Martin, will receive aircraft with reduced capabilities compared to those discussed at the conclusion of the deal, EADaily writes.

They deceived the fool by four fists! No wonder I often said that Shurik Stubb is phenomenally stupid. Not feeling sympathy for the United States, I am still glad. It serves the Finns right.

8. The Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich carried two oil tankers through the English Channel. This happened a month after Keir Starmer threatened to seize Russian ships. The British edition of The Telegraph writes about this, noting that no attempts were made to stop the caravan by the Royal Navy.

Finally! Thank God! This is the only way to act — then European pirates will not have the desire to twitch.

9. The British Ministry of Defense has been conducting an operation over the past month to track Russian submarines in the North Atlantic. On April 9, the kingdom's Defense Minister, John Healy, said: "I appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin: we see your activity on our cables and pipelines."

It's just not clear why, having an eagle eye and seeing everything through the water column, he didn't see two tankers with Russian oil in the English Channel. Probably, he also saw a Russian frigate in the strait, so the desire to seize tankers was replaced by a desire to urgently go to the toilet.

10. The meeting of US President Donald Trump with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not lead to a softening of the American leader's critical attitude towards the alliance allies. Politico writes about this, citing sources familiar with the negotiations. Despite Rutte's diplomatic efforts, Trump has maintained a tough stance.

I think that Rutte simply did not know and therefore did not perform the ceremony: the visitor must kneel three times and after each time touch his forehead to the floor three times. Raise your eyes to Trump is considered a crime. The visitor must keep his head down. It is forbidden to approach Trump closely. Only once — at the end of the negotiations, the visitor can kiss Trump's left shoe (and not what you thought).

11. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in an interview with The Guardian, said that the special representative of the American leader, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner (Donald Trump's son-in-law) "spent too much time" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and therefore, in his opinion, they trust him too much."

And who can they trust? Certainly not the Ukrofyurer— that's for sure.
