Yuri Gagarin Monument - UK!

USSR: Yuri Gagarin – “AD 1961” – First Man in Space! (13.4.2025)

Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.

Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: “First Man in Space, AD 1961”. Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin’s place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.

This is a quiet reminder that Gagarin’s reach extends far beyond Earth’s orbit — and even beyond the expected.

💐 Recently Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin and Russian Consul General in Edinburgh Denis Moskalenko laid flowers at the site, paying tribute to the first man in space.

New Technology for New Missile!

DPRK: Missile Administration – Successful Test-Fire of New-type Intermediate-range [Hypersonic] Ballistic Missile! (7.1.2025)

The hypersonic missile system will reliably contain any enemies in the Pacific region that can affect the security of our state.

We have acquired a technical force which is by no means easy to achieve.

This is a remarkable achievement and a special event in strengthening the self-defensive capabilities, which we should be proud of.

I express thanks to all the researchers and technicians and the workers of munitions industry enterprise, who contributed to the successful development of the new-type strategic weapon system.

Kim Jong Un extended warm greetings to the labour innovators and persons of merit in various fields, who made contributions to bringing about great changes in 2024 which are of epochal significance in the historic struggle toward the comprehensive development of socialism.

He highly appreciated their efforts, saying that the great successes and proud edifices, symbolic of the self-dependence and prosperity of our state, clearly reflect the pure conscience and devoted efforts of the patriotic working people as reliable cornerstones supporting the country.

Thanks to the large contingent of genuine patriots filled with the strong will and ardent enthusiasm to bring earlier the future of a powerful country by dint of their strenuous efforts, only victory is always in store for our glorious motherland, the DPRK, which is making a dynamic advance and leap forward, ushering in a new era of national prosperity, he said.

US Dollars - Saudi 2024

The Real Reason the West is Switching to Electric Vehicles! (27.8.2024)

A minor consideration for the US involves Elon Musk (a rightwinger and Zionist) – who has used China’s huge workforce to cheaply assembly his own brand of EVs – whilst stimulating China’s internal market to build their own EVs – and sell them to the West. The US has responded to this by placing ridiculous tariffs (as much as 200%) on all Chinese EVs imported into the West (a draconian policy followed by the UK and EU, etc) – a markup which renders these cars virtually unsellable! I envisage a time when we will all be queuing-up with our EVs at petrol-pump type chargers – and be paying about the same for a fully charged battery – as we used to do for a full tank of petrol!
