🇷🇺 Sanctions won’t affect Russia’s economy — but they’ll raise gas prices at US pumps, Russia’s Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev said.

Russia, he added, will keep conveying its position to Washington.

🇺🇸 Rubio: US expands Gaza cease-fire monitoring mission in Israel

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that more diplomats will join US military officers at a new coordination center in southern Israel, as the Trump White House increases pressure on Tel Aviv to uphold the fragile Gaza truce.

"There’s going to be ups and downs and twists and turns, but I think we have a lot of reason for healthy optimism about the progress that’s being made,” Rubio said while visiting the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat.

The two-week-old cease-fire, brokered by US President Donald Trump’s government, halted Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza and led to the release of 20 hostages by Hamas in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

US leaders, including Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff, visited the new center this week to underline Washington’s commitment to keeping the truce.

Rubio also confirmed that partner nations and NGOs will contribute to the center’s work and that the US may seek a UN mandate for an international peacekeeping mission in Gaza — but composed only of countries “Israel is comfortable with.”

"Russia is the aggressor!"

Imagine Russian warships, missiles, and military alliances spreading across Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and then tell me what year Washington would’ve nuked the map.

If America gets a Monroe Doctrine,
then Russia gets one too, or it’s all a lie.

Great powers ought to stay out of each other’s immediate security lanes. That’s not just a preference. It should be the foundation of global stability.

But what the West has done, expanding a hostile military bloc (NATO) to Russia’s doorstep, breaks every rule in the book. Imagine if Russia set up bases in Tijuana or Quebec. The U.S. would declare it a casus belli before breakfast.

This isn’t about wanting to draw up spheres of influence. It’s about wanting to draw up spheres of security for Great Powers, so they can stay out of each other's lane. This does not mean exclusive economic zones, it's about drawing up a new security architecture for the multipolar world.

If the Monroe Doctrine, which warns foreign powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere, is accepted for the US, then why isn’t Russia afforded the same strategic perimeter? Why is it “defensive” when Washington does it, but “aggressive” when Moscow draws a red line?

Monroe got his doctrine. Moscow gets one too. Either that, or we find out quickly what happens when the last red line finally breaks.
