Seems Like The Psychopaths Are Begging for Nuclear War!

Jun 2, 2024

https://unser-mitteleuropa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Atompilz-1.png

The Ukrainian troops are coming under more and more pressure. This fact can be attributed to Russia's superiority on all levels: materially, technologically and in terms of troop numbers and their superior motivation and training.

By FRANZ FERDINAND | The reasons for Russia's successes can also be found in the fact that Russia works closely with China and Persia. In particular, cooperation with China means that Western sanctions are completely ineffective. If you look at it calmly, the West cannot win a war against this bloc.

Unfortunately, the Western actors are not rationally controlled. Against all logic, people are still hoping for a victory (or should we say, a “final victory”?) against Russia. Such reminiscences of the “Third Reich” are totally frowned upon in the moralizing West, but not when it comes to Russia! Even the Ukrainian Nazis are among the “good guys”. The “final victory” against Russia can obviously only be hoped for through further recourse to Nazi propaganda, namely the “miracle weapon”, in this case nuclear weapons.

Russia is also superior in the number of nuclear explosive devices, but perhaps this shortcoming could be compensated for with a nuclear first strike.

Those responsible for the Ukrainian attacks on the Russian Armavir early warning system in the Krasnodar region must have pondered such considerations. Although the US side is currently trying to distance itself from these attacks, such statements are completely unbelievable. Zelensky doesn't do anything without consulting his overlords.

Colonel Reisner of the Austrian Armed Forces stated (https://www-bundesheer-at.translate.goog/aktuelles/detail/drei-fragen-zum-angriff-auf-das-russische-atomraketen-fruehwarnsystem-oberst-reisner-antwortet?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en): The two Russian Voronezh-DM early warning systems at the Armavir facility are an integral part of Russia's strategic early warning detection system, and their failure could impact the country's ability to detect incoming nuclear threats. So the plan is simple: first destroy the Russian early warning system and thus create an entry point for American nuclear missiles, which are then intended to destroy Russia's centers. Such a plan is of course pure madness, but we are already used to a lot from the values of the West. The whole war, which could have ended in April 2022, is insane. The planned “peace” conference at the Hotel Bürgenstock in Switzerland is apparently intended to distract from such plans.

At least it is assumed that such an option can be used to blackmail Russia. Russia, for its part, responds with rhetorical threats with its nuclear weapons to show that it cannot be blackmailed. It's a very dangerous game that could easily get out of control.

The West is ready to drag the entire globe, which otherwise always has to be saved from the evil CO2, into a war of annihilation just to enforce or maintain its claim to global dominance! A multipolar distribution of power is completely unacceptable for these criminals against humanity who otherwise babble about “democracy” at every opportunity. Apparently the existence of these Western elites depends on the obsolete unipolar world order! Essentially, these actors are the Anglo-Saxon maritime powers, on whose tail the EU depends.

In their politics, the Anglo-Saxons have been following Halford John Mackinder's heartland theory for more than 100 years, according to which the sea powers must try to dominate the heartland of the planet, i.e. the Eurasian landmass, in order to secure their world domination. The means for this are the installation of client states (today this includes the entire EU, but also Ukraine), with the help of which a policy of permanent war is waged against the heartland.

Basically, this type of policy is not new: the Roman Empire also pursued a similar policy to contain the Germanic tribes.

However, this whole concept has been weakening for quite some time. The backbone of this policy was the control of maritime trade routes. In the past, this dominance was secured by the superior fleets of the sea powers. However, modern weapons technology makes warships very vulnerable these days. The attacks by the Houthis have shown their vulnerability. A single nuclear submarine could bring shipping to a standstill at critical points. The Anglo-Saxons' former strength is now turning into a weakness.

The development of high-performance railway lines in the “heartland” of the planet (keyword: the new Silk Road) is already undermining the importance of sea routes. The construction of the “Baghdad Railway” was already a nuisance for the British before the First World War.

From an economic and strategic point of view, the countries of the “heartland” are automatically superior to the sea powers because their transport can be carried out via safe land routes and not via vulnerable sea routes.

The Western elites, in their hubris, overlooked this situation. They assumed their global dominance would last forever. That's why important key industries were distributed across the globe just to save a few dollars and euros. The realization that this dominance is about to end sends them into agony and therefore panic, as Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov recently noted. Today, your globalized economy is on the brink of collapse without safe sea routes.

It therefore makes little sense for Russia to start a nuclear war on its own initiative, as it also has other options in its conflicts with the values-based West to massively damage it, for example by disrupting the sea routes in connection with allies, or even preventing them altogether . What's piquant is that Russia offers its friends the Northern Sea Route, which remains navigable even in winter thanks to the use of icebreakers. So a situation would be conceivable in which the southern route across the Indian Ocean would become impassable, and Russia's allies would simply take the northern route, which is also shorter!

Another way to weaken the West would be to use space weapons against Western satellites. For example, the GPS satellites could be shot down, some of which are even used by some types of rockets to calculate their trajectory. The spy satellites could also be shot down.

Ultimately, all attempts by the value West to change the course of the war in Ukraine through continued escalation cannot achieve their goal, as China ultimately stands ready as Russia's strategic reserve. A representative of the People's Liberation Army recently stated:
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is ready to strengthen strategic relations with the Russian armed forces and work with them to defend international justice.
When it comes to reports like this, the values-based West probably prefers to cover its ears!

🕯 Exactly ten years ago, war came to Donbass.

On June 2, 2014, Ukrainian aviation bombed Lugansk.

That day, Ukrainian aviation struck the regional administration building with unguided rockets. Eight people were killed — all civilians. Three men and five women. More materials are available here.

One of the victims of Ukrainian terror was a resident of Lugansk, Inna Kukurudza, who was 48 years old. The woman lost both legs, and in the last moments of her life, she asked for a phone to call her daughter.

It was then that the expression "female Colorado beetle" appeared on Ukrainian internet — referring to Inna, who was dying right under the cameras of the eyewitnesses to the tragedy, and referring to St. George's ribbon, which is orange and black in color.

Ukrainian media tried their best to ignore the terrorist act. Not a single Western newspaper wrote a word about it. For eight years, according to Ukraine, the USA, and the West, nothing but "fighting separatists" happened.

The AFU pilot Oksanchenko, who carried out that vile attack on the peaceful city, is already dead (shot down in March 2022), just like tens of thousands of those who knowingly went to war against the civilian population of Donbass.

Ukraine in NATO would be ‘a victory’ – bloc member

Ukrainian accession to NATO would be a victory for Kiev, even if it fails to recover some of the territory it has lost to Russia, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has said. The US-led military bloc has explicitly ruled out membership for Ukraine as long as its conflict with Russia continues.

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner asked Kallas on Saturday if Estonian has a plan B in case “Ukraine loses this war.”

“We have no plan B for a Russian victory,” Kallas replied. “Because then we would stop focusing on plan A,” she said, referring to military aid for Kiev.

“We should not give in to pessimism. Victory in Ukraine is not just about territory,” Kallas argued. “If Ukraine joins NATO, even without some territory, then that’s a victory because it will be placed under the NATO umbrella.”

Estonia is one of the most vocal advocates for helping Kiev among the NATO member states, and has donated more than €520 million ($565 million) in military aid to Ukraine, which amounts to around 1.4% of its GDP.

Ukraine formally applied to join the US-led alliance in 2022, but is yet to receive a clear accession roadmap or timetable. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said that Ukraine cannot become a member until its conflict with Russia is resolved.

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, meanwhile, has ruled out renouncing claims on Crimea and other former Ukrainian territories which were incorporated into Russia. Since the start of 2024, he has signed bilateral security pacts with several NATO members, including the UK, France, and Germany. Under these agreements, Western countries promised to continue providing military aid, but are not obligated to treat the conflict in Ukraine as an attack on their own territory.

Russia has cited Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO as one of the root causes of the conflict and overall tensions with the West. Moscow sees the bloc as a threat and has long objected to its continued expansion eastward. Russia has also said that Kiev must recognize the “new territorial realities” for any future peace negotiations to succeed.

We have been following and analyzing this conflict for a long time now, some people have offered very impressive insights, we all know that Russia has a strong justification for their "Special Military Operations" and that the USA/Britain have been conducting their murky trade in Ukraine for decades, but we have reached a critical point and with one small move towards further escalation with long range missile attacks into Russian territory the Russians are going to deliver a nuclear response on the home territory of whichever EU country dares to cross this redline: the NATO lies machine is stating Russia must be clear about its redlines, when they know perfectly well what these are, this entire involvement of NATO is an existential threat to Russia, they know this! My question to you avid analysts, are we going to witness the true outbreak of nuclear weapons exchange, will this be the absolute nadir, the shape of our destruction: where do you see this concluding?

A great question and my response here doesn't really do it quite the justice it deserves, but, for now, for what they're worth, here's some thoughts, right off-the-cuff:

As is so often the case there is so much duplicity underpinning the messaging emanating from Western mouthpieces it can be quite some challenge discerning any clear position particularly where red lines are concerned.

Simplicius discussed this very issue citing a July 2023 Newsweek article which, in summary, basically stated that there are agreed red lines having been established in back channels at the outset of the SMO. These may be worth revisiting:

Newsweek article: https://www.newsweek.com/2023/07/21/exclusive-cias-blind-spot-about-ukraine-war-1810355.html

Simplicius' breakdown: https://avalonlibrary.net/Ukraine/Articles/2024-01-06_Under_the_Radar-Major_CIA_Revelations_Expose_Secret_Agreements_and_Boundaries_in_Ukraine_by_Simplicius_The_Thinker.p df

This diplomatic exercise will be ongoing as we write about and discuss all this, right now - standard war-time practice. Whether spy swaps are taking place at all? I'd rather suspect they aren't at the moment. The point being that I do rather think - or most certainly hope - that sensible heads will prevail, although we'd all be right in thinking and stating that if there are any then they aren't those to who we've been subjected in and from the West to listening to thus far. It's chest-beating arrogant hubris, in the main. They're seeing just how far they can push the Russians, and then they'll step back.

So, I'm optimistic, but that's a guarded form of optimism: goodness only knows what those possessed and captured demonic narcissists in high-office are really thinking. Without straying too far off reservation here, if the 'breakaway civilisation' is a reality, and it just may be, then good luck to us all, and see you on the other side.

The ideal conclusion would be that the Ukrainian people and those Ukrainian soldiers who are under Russian captivity decide to march with their Russian brothers on Kiev, inspire an underground there, to overthrow the regime and run Zelensky and the other Zionist scum out of town, for good, and in as bloodless a way as it is possible to do.

No amount of narrative framing and perception management efforts through Western media could work then, if the Ukrainians take back what's left of their country, with Russian assistance, and then with a government (currently) in 'exile' reform a Slavic alliance with Russia and Belarus, and work together as a bulwark against any future Anglo-American and European revanchist ambitions: and the death of NATO cannot come too soon. That's my idealistic conclusion. We'll see :flower:

To follow up on Mike G and Tintin: I am not optimistic, because I think the only thing that could stop Western aggression would be to utterly displace the multi-national/ globalist totalitarian Western leadership class. Otherwise, they will continue to provoke and escalate wars everywhere they can - between and within any or all nations.

The nature of this "entropic" world is that it is much easier and quicker to increase chaos and destruction, than to build and create Good things. So "They" have a vast range and number of trouble-making strategies that can be pursued simultaneously, and will tend to be mutually reinforcing - whereas each of these destrctive acts needs specific attention and effort to hold-back or repair.

Therefore I expect that we will continue to approach that "critical point" Mike referenced, until that line is crossed and "all Hell breaks loose".

Yet although I am pessimistic and Expect The Worst - it is not inevitable. Just that to turn things around would require a vast and profound kind of spiritual awakening (of which I see no sign, as yet).

But if this does happen, then there will be no doubt about it and no hiding it. It will be the biggest thing in history.

That is what I hope for - but without optimism!

Are we going to witness the true outbreak of nuclear weapons exchange, will this be the absolute nadir, the shape of our destruction: where do you see this concluding?

I'm not an expert in any way, but as I happen to have lived my life between 'East and West', I think I (and many other silent Finns) understand both sides.

My hunch is this:

West/Anglo/US/Zion/NATO:
- Lives in a dream-world, where words and narratives are above reality.
- Have been the strongest, so they ASSUME it is an automatic truth.
- Don't understand the mentality of anyone who does not want world dominion.

Russia/China/BRICS:
- Want to live their lives free, independently.
- They understand the physical realities, don't live in a dream world.
- Try to tell their position, every day, but West does not understand:
"Why would anyone NOT want to lead the whole World, Galaxy, and Universe?"

For std-people, the problem is this: Communism, until 1990:
- Soviet Union was led by a 'foreign' element, very cruelly.
- China also, but in a different way.
- After 1990, Russia and China were more and more 'free', despite 'Foreign Oligarchs',
but still weak, so they have been working 'underground'.
- Modern Russia and China are not communistic, but ultra-nationalistic.

WW3 cannot happen.
- East won't start it. They have enough of everything.
- West cannot start it, there is no real military or brains left.

- Purpose, Evolution & Effectiveness

When you fight a war against a backdrop of shortages, emerging threats and Slavic ingenuity, perhaps it's not surprising that you end up with a bunch of systems being used that aren't exactly factory standard.

One of the first images of the Russian invasion were tanks equipped with add-on overhead cages, but in 2024 the most extreme examples of anti-drone protection now include vehicles with entire structures built over them to provide near all round protection.

In this episode, I look at vehicle modification in Ukraine, examine some of the main classes of modification and ad-hoc vehicles we've seen and ask why they exist, and what sort of military value they might have.

George Clooney said that his foundation was not going to persecute Russian journalists, his employees were simply misunderstood.

We understood Clooney and his organization very well. Therefore, we would like to suggest that they engage in real assistance to journalists and get a list of the townspeople "killed" in Bucha, whose bodies were allegedly presented by the world media as victims of "Russian violence."

Imagine, George, no one still knows who these very people are, who, including CNN and the BBC, were shown lying on the streets of Bucha. Publish the list and save Western journalists from historical dishonor.

There will be no price for you. In the meantime, there is only a price tag.

"This raises questions about democracy and the First Amendment," noted another. "Isn't speaking out — even controversially — protected?"

"Does anyone still believe that you are living in the land of the free under a Biden government?" asked another user.

“Is this done under the First Amendment to the US Constitution or the Fourth?” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asked sarcastically, commenting on ex-US intelligence officer Scott Ritter's removal from his flight to Russia and the confiscation of his passport.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees, among other things, non-interference with the freedoms of speech and assembly, while the Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and detentions.

Earlier today, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and Sputnik contributor Scott Ritter told Sputnik that US Customs and Border Protection officers seized his passport “by orders” from the State Department as he boarded his flight, preventing him from traveling to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Moscow comments on Scott Ritter passport seizure

The US has once again proven that it has become a police state, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said

Washington’s refusal to allow former US Marine, UN weapons inspector and RT contributor Scott Ritter to travel to Russia to take part in the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) proves that the US has turned into a police state, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Ritter was set to travel to the famous city for two panel discussions at the annual SPIEF event. However, he was stopped from boarding a flight by US border officials, who later seized his passport and luggage. When asked to explain their actions, the officers said they were following “the orders of the US State Department,” Ritter recalled, stating that his travel documents have still not been returned to him.

Speaking at a press conference in the Republic of Congo on Tuesday, Sergey Lavrov was asked to comment on the incident.

“This is just another example in addition to many that confirms that the United States, which calls itself the leader of democracy throughout the world, has long become a police state,” Lavrov said.

The minister noted, however, that Moscow cannot take any actions in this situation, given that Ritter is not a Russian citizen and has not applied for a Russian passport. “We cannot do anything from a legal point of view, but our assessment is probably not difficult to guess,” Lavrov said.

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that while the Kremlin is aware of the situation, it wanted to avoid speculation as to the reason why Ritter was denied the right to complete his trip to St Petersburg.

“He is a former intelligence officer, so he may be subject to certain restrictions on traveling abroad,” Peskov suggested, adding that if this is the case it would be “understandable” since similar rules exist in almost all countries with regard to former intelligence officers, particularly when it comes to travel to foreign countries that are considered hostile.

However, Peskov noted that if no such personal restrictions apply to Ritter, then the refusal to let him travel to the SPIEF is a “manifestation of another rabid campaign aimed at preventing US citizens from establishing any sort of contacts with Russia.”

Ritter himself has suggested that the move was a “deliberate ambush” carried out by the US government out of spite and meant to “stick it to the Russians.”

The political commentator and former US Marine had previously served as a senior UN inspector tasked with finding weapons of mass destruction in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. He has been a staunch critic of Washington since the US invasion of that country in 2003.

Punish Hungary to ensure EU’s future – bloc presidency holder

Belgium has argued in favour of stripping Budapest of its voting rights

The EU should strip Hungary of its voting rights to safeguard the union’s future, Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib has argued.

Budapest is scheduled to take over the EU Council’s rotating presidency in July. Belgium, the current holder, is in a group of countries voicing frustration over Hungary’s opposition to key EU plans – including support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.

“I think we need to have the courage to make decisions: go right to the end of Article 7, activate Article 7 right to the end, which provides for the end of the right of veto,” the Belgian diplomat told Politico on Sunday.

Article 7, which involves a suspension of voting rights, is often referred to as a “nuclear option” against member states considered to have breached the EU’s values.

Leap of Death: Watch Russian Army Unleash New Kamikaze Drone on Ukrainian Troops (video)

The special military operation served as a catalyst for innovation in the Russian defense industry and revealed that AI-powered machines are the future of warfare.

The Russian Armed Forces unleashed a brand-new ground-launched kamikaze drone Lyagushka (meaning "Frog") on the Ukrainian militants, the Defense Ministry announced. The mine-laden robot sneaked into enemy trenches and blew up the nest of heavy machinery and its crew.

"Soldiers of the special forces of the Tsentr combat group used the ground-based robotic complex Lyagushka for the first time and destroyed a Ukrainian machine-gun crew during the offensive operation in the direction of Avdeyevka," the official statement said.

The mobile drone is powered by an electric motor, which makes it virtually silent. Combined with its relatively small size and speed of up to 20km/h, it can reach enemy positions undetected and deliver up to 30kg of explosive payload.
The drone is operated by a crew of three military personnel using a remote control and special goggles. A camera installed on the antenna of the device allows the operator to avoid obstacles while directing the drone to the target. The additional antenna of the complex allows maintaining control over the drone at a distance of more than three kilometers.

‘Always in the Forefront’: All You Need to Know About Russia's Akhmat Special Forces

https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/img/07e8/06/03/1118754314_0:0:3192:1796_1920x0_80_0_0_f3964a4ad1b0cca9487b90dcb456f2e4.jpg.webp

Russia’s Akhmat Special Forces have been deployed to the Kharkov region, the extremely crucial area in the special military operation zone, the unit’s commander Apty Alaudinov said on Monday. What is known about the unit and what does it deal with on the front line? Check Sputnik to find out.
Akhmat Special Forces commander Apty Alaudinov has praised his unit that “has been in the forefront since the very first days [of the special operation].”

"We have never been in the second echelon. We have never stood behind anyone. And in this regard, of course, it is very pleasant and flattering that we have been deployed to this [crucial Kharkov] area," he said.

When Was Akhmat Ceated?
The unit’s history dates back to 2009, when the now-late First President of Russia’s Chechen Republic Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, the father of the republic’s current head Ramzan Kadyrov, endorsed the creation of the Akhmat Special Rapid Response Detachment.
The unit, which was formed on the basis of a special motorized regiment of troops with Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, included former members of Akhmat Kadyrov’s security service.

How Many Soldiers Does Akhmat Have?
There are reportedly up to 4,000 Akhmat members right now, with some sources claiming that more than 13,000 volunteers from different Russian regions have already joined the unit. They previously underwent tactical and fire training at the Russian University of Special Forces in the Chechen city of Gudermes.

What is Akhmat's Record?
The 2010s saw the unit help local authorities destroy the remaining outlawed armed formations in the Chechen Republic.
In late February 2022, Ramzan Kadyrov announced the deployment of the 2,000-strong Akhmat unit to the special military operation zone.
Later that year, Akhmat fighters took control of the city of Rubezhnoye in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR).
Shortly after, the Akhmat unit was dispatched to the LPR’s Severodonetsk, where it took part in the liberation of the city.
In September 2022, the Akhmat special forces successfully repelled the offensive of the Ukrainian military near the village of Berestovoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
In 2023, the Akhmat unit was on a mission in the Donetsk and Artemovsk areas, controlled by Russia’s Yug (South) Battlegroup.

What is Akhmat's Current Task?
Alaudinov has, meanwhile, told reporters that the unit "has already adapted" to the deployment in the Kharkov region.

"The main task is to leave the area where you were earlier stationed and enter the positions that you should take over, as well as expand the communications network. All this has already been done. Our units are already engaged in assault operations in the area," he pointed out.

According to him, the Akhmat Special Forces have also taken over the areas that they needed to cover so that the enemy could not conduct sabotage and terrorist activities there.

What prevents Germany from living in comfort? Kurginyan discusses the militarization of Germany

https://eu.eot.su/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/b270d81c99de-1536x957.jpg
Quote from the film Downfall by Oliver Hirschbiegel. 2004. Germany, Austria, Italy

03.06.2024, Moscow.

The militarization of Germany and other European countries has nothing to do with any actual threats from abroad, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on May 17 on the program Conversation with a Sage on the Zvezda radio station.

The host Anna Shafran noted that Germany considers returning to compulsory military service in order to build up its army several-fold.

“This raises a question, why? What has changed, really? Who threatens them and why do they need this? They lived in comfort. What will happen now? Why must not they live in comfort anymore? What has happened to a wonderful country Germany that it could live in comfort one year ago, and five years ago it could only live in comfort because this comfort was cultivated. And now a great turnaround has happened, and they cannot live in comfort anymore, why? What is the problem? Thus, let us agree that there is no problem, and it can keep living in comfort as long as it likes,” Kurginyan explained.

He stressed that Germany is not under any actual threat of attack, but it is beginning to fundamentally change its existence paradigm.

“What has bitten them? What is going on? They say only one thing: that Russia will fight them and this is why they need to leave their comfort,” the expert noted.

He stressed that for the Russian elite, a war against Europe is something they cannot imagine even in a nightmare.

“And every time our top officials, whoever they are, including president, answer journalists’ questions (about a potential war with Europe), speaking about this, they have a feeling like ‘are you kidding?’” Kurginyan explained.

The expert believes that there is only one way to explain the situation: the European politicians know that someone has already predetermined the war.

For all new people coming here in this particular Project Avalon Forum Thread ... I made a super simplified summary of a very complex issue, but it helps to better understand why I asked a question about Volodymyr Zelensky soon to be being killed (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia&p=1585306&viewfull=1#post1585306) possibly by one of his Generals.

Let's begin:

NATO (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117876-Behind-NATO--s-cognitive-warfare.-Battle-for-your-brain-waged-by-Western-militaries)/CIA/EU are responsible for pushing mass suicide missions ... sacrificing 100,000s Ukrainian fathers, uncles, sons, husbands etc. and many are forced to fight for a totally corrupt undemocratic tyrants that hijacked the country!

What we all have learned by now is that tanks/armored vehicles are useless in any 2023 war ... Because of much cheaper weaponized drones warfare! (Easier to mass produce).

And maybe USA/UK/Germany (NATO (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117876-Behind-NATO--s-cognitive-warfare.-Battle-for-your-brain-waged-by-Western-militaries)) knows that and want to get rid of the old stuff, dumping it in Ukraine calling it : "help" to fight for "Democracy" = double deception & insanity! ... All done to eventually invest new generation warfare equipment of all kinds domestically ... (Semi-) autonomous future A.I. (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?102409-A.I.-is-Progressing-Faster-Than-You-Think-) warfare included.

I know the chance of the following scenario ever to going to happen is extremely slim (near zero!) but hear me out:

Imagine if Zelensky decides to confess he was/is paid & manipulated by the totally corrupt part of NATO (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117876-Behind-NATO--s-cognitive-warfare.-Battle-for-your-brain-waged-by-Western-militaries) with certain "promises", he admits he FEARS for his life and the safety of his loved ones because of the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis called AZOF Brigade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Brigade) having a track record of killing 1000s of Russian Civilians in the 2010s up to now violating the Minsk Agreements.

That was KNOWN even reported by the western mass media, but refusing to call it provoking a War with Russia! ... Mass media admitting multiple times on record (before the war started) that Ukraine is the most corrupt nation of all nations, Eurasia (Europe/Asia).

Admitting he knew Ukraine has no chance of winning but rely heavily on becoming a "NATO member" >>> even if that becomes a reality, there is no guarantee that "all goes well" for humanity as a whole! ... Meaning: WW3 will start with global mutual nuclear destruction as a result.

Imagine he admits crushing all Ukrainian dissenting voices, including all common sense people in Ukraine! ... dismantling all kinds of Ukrainian: opposition, media, multiple democratic political parties in Ukraine which is obvious the opposite of "Defending Democracy".

On top of all that, Ukrainian adult males (that are not represented anymore) were forced to use weapons in a totally useless, hopless, unwinnable war! ... And many Russian soldiers/officers KNOWS THAT ... that is why they show countless videos how they treat Ukrainian soldiers waving a white flag to surrender with great respect & decency! <<< but you will not see that in any pro-NATO Western Media, they do not care about the unrepresented Ukrainians being sacrificed to serve a bigger "New World Order (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/forumdisplay.php?163-The-New-World-Order)" plan.

How many Ukrainian children lost their: father, brother & uncle ... Fathers losing their sons NOT because they were against Russia, but they were not represented anymore and FORCED to join the totally insane war PUSHED by all Pro-NATO mass media worldwide! <<< in my view, they all have blood on their hands!

Remember Hillary Clinton repeating over and over the blatant lie that what the Russians did was so called: "unprovoked" and how the mass media only promotes a certain narrative to push Ukraine over the cliff!

How much of the billions of US/EU Tax money spend in Ukraine was not spent for the Ukrainians at all!

Imagine if Zelensky will expose it all and tell the truth for a change,"even asking for forgiveness" that 100,000s died needlessly. 100,000s of fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, husbands.

After confessing all that, Zelensky will not survive that not only because of the totally ruthless Ukrainian Neo-Nazis AZOF Brigade, but he will most likely be killed by the rage of almost all (unrepresented) Ukrainians! ... and maybe he knows that!

In my view, the biggest systematic push of a tunnel vision "Russia Phobia (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?118563-Russophobia-why-do-so-many-people-in-the-west-hate-and-fear-Russia)" narratives started, when Hillary Clinton openly threatened to use Nuclear weapons if Russia "interferes" with the 2016 elections on multiple levels ... not mentioning that anything can be considered "interference" even TELLING THE TRUTH via RT dot com (https://rumble.com/c/RTNews) or RT on YouTube ... Hillary Clinton quote: "We Are Losing The Information War (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fGWuillRXM)"
The ultra hypocrisy of The USA is extreme harrowing knowing how they manipulated almost all elections in all countries worldwide!
So when a different source other than western Mainstream Media (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?120654-Why-We-Don-t-Trust-Mainstream-Media-The-Munk-Debates) sharing hard verifiable truths & facts that HAVE an impact on how people think & judge how they are "governed" >>> will be seen as an "election intervention" even if it is 100% the truth that is exposed!

Many hard hitting uncovered truths that have been shared on RT (Russia Today) were ALREADY shared on Alex Jones's infowars (https://www.infowars.com) and countless other American based independent alternative media outlets ... Most, if not all were originally investigated & exposed by Americans not Russians >>> the moment RT used some of it Hillary claimed that is "proof" that Alternative Media is spreading "Russian Propaganda" WHICH IS A BLATANT LIE! ... It was RT using real independent research done by Americans and HELPS better understand how we all get scrwed on this (fcked up) planet done by lying psychopathic control freaks & dystopian technocrats (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?118748-Top-10-Creepiest-Most-Dystopian-Things-Pushed-By-The-World-Economic-Forum).

Now male dual citizens of US, Canada, etc. & Ukraine are banned from leaving Ukraine & can be conscripted by force with de facto US/West approval: "US Embassy in Ukraine: men with dual citizenship will no longer be able to leave the country. The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has warned that Ukraine has revoked the "residence abroad" exception that previously allowed certain Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 to leave the country.

Source: US Embassy in Ukraine
With this change, men with dual citizenship, including those living in the US, will no longer be able to leave the country.

According to the message of the embassy, Ukrainian legislation does not recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, American-Ukrainian persons with dual citizenship, while in Ukraine, are considered exclusively as citizens of Ukraine, and they are subject to the rights and obligations of citizens of Ukraine. That is, under martial law in Ukraine, men aged 18 to 60 are prohibited from leaving the country.

The embassy noted that previously persons with dual American-Ukrainian citizenship of this group could enter Ukraine and then leave it if they deregistered their place of residence in Ukraine and registered their place of residence in the United States. As of June 1, this exception was canceled.

Literally: "If you are in Ukraine and cannot leave the country, shelter in place and obey all local regulations.

If you are not currently in Ukraine, we strongly recommend that male US citizens between the ages of 18 and 60 who also hold Ukrainian citizenship or are applying for Ukrainian citizenship and do not wish to remain in Ukraine indefinitely refrain from any travel to of Ukraine. There is an extremely high risk that you will not be allowed to leave even with a US passport." https://pravda.com.ua/news/2024/06/5/7459227/

NATO has drawn up a plan to transfer US troops to the eastern front line in the event of a possible conflict with Russia, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Several alternative land corridors are being created, which, if necessary, will replace the main one to get US soldiers to the east. The main corridor involves the landing of American troops in the Dutch port of Rotterdam and their transfer to Poland through the territory of the Netherlands and Germany by rail.

BREAKING: NATO now planning to get US troops to the front-line to fight RUSSIA..

What are they thinking?

NATO has disclosed its preparations to deploy American troops to the European frontlines in the event of a full-scale conflict with Russia.

Innovative 'land corridors' are being established to expedite the movement of soldiers through central Europe, bypassing local bureaucratic hurdles.

This strategic setup enables NATO forces to swiftly react should Putin's aggressive actions in Ukraine extend westward.

Reports suggest that these plans also encompass provisions for potential Russian attacks.

In such scenarios, troops could mobilize through corridors in Italy, Greece, and Turkey to reach the Balkans, or alternatively, advance towards Russia's northern border via Scandinavia.

These details were shared by officials with The Telegraph.

SHOCKER: NATO Readies 300,000-Troop Deployment for Russia Crisis.. -POLITICO

NATO is developing plans to deploy 300,000 US troops to the European frontlines in the event of a major conflict with Russia.

The strategy involves creating 'land corridors' to bypass local bureaucracy and ensure a swift response to Russian aggression.

These corridors would facilitate the rapid movement of troops from key ports to pre-planned routes across Europe.

The move is part of NATO's efforts to deter Russian aggression and prepare for potential threats, amid concerns of escalating tensions in the region.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing at least 50,000 service personnel a month, five times more than the Russian military, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

Putin was speaking with reporters from international news agencies on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

“According to our estimates, the Ukrainian army loses about 50,000 people every month,” Putin said in response to a question, adding that the ratio of sanitary and irrecoverable casualties was “about 50-50.”
While not specifying the number of Russian casualties, Putin said the number of irrecoverable losses was at least five times less than those incurred by Kiev's forces. There are currently 1,348 Russian servicemen held in Ukraine as prisoners of war, while 6,465 Ukrainian servicemen are in Russian captivity, the president revealed.

Ukraine is capable of mobilizing about 30,000 troops a month and “there aren’t very many volunteers,” Putin explained.

“It doesn’t solve the problem,” the Russian leader said, “All of the people they are able to mobilize go to replace the battlefield losses.”

It is “an open secret” in Ukraine that the push to lower the age of conscription has come from the US, Putin added.

In April, Kiev amended the rules to allow the drafting of 25-year-olds, down from the previous threshold of 27. According to Putin, Washington wants to revise it to 23, “then to 18, or maybe directly to 18,” and has already convinced Ukraine to require 17-year-olds to register for mobilization.

The acute shortage of frontline troops has driven Kiev to consider accepting deserters who have chosen to return to the battlefield, according to an instruction from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) to AFU commander-in-chief Aleksandr Syrsky, published on Wednesday.

David Cameron the "current" UK Foreign Secretary went to see "former" President Donald Trump for a private meeting in April this year. Actually I'll correct that DC went to see " CIC " Trump for a meeting about having a US backed war against Russia.

CIC Trump gave DC his nice shiny shoe right up the rear end and sent him on his way.

NATO is dinosaur who's only purpose was to defend Europe from Russia, now Russia is no longer a communist country they are no threat. (What purpose does NATO serve the answer NONE).

Also all these western countries have completely depleted their stock piles of ammunition by donating ammo to Ukraine so what are they going to fight with, sticks and stones and we know how that goes?

Maybe this depletion of ammo was by design to ensure the deep state could not go to war with Russia (As was the end game part of the 16 year plan spanning from the Obummer to what would have been the Killary presidency) and maybe Putin & CIC Trump had a hand in this to ensure NATO and the US could not engage in war against Russia directly which would escalate to a nuclear conflict.

The only country prepared for full scale war is Russia, so please Europe if want to commit suicide go ahead and leave US, Canada, UK and Australia out of this madness.

Just my two cents worth thanks.

This Is What George Soros (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?111279-George-Soros) Wrote In 1993 About A Future War In Eastern Europe

A resurfaced publication by George Soros (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?111279-George-Soros), dated 1993, discusses how crises could be manipulated by the U.S. for its own goals through using European soldiers as cannon fodder. The document casts further doubt on the Western narrative that NATO (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117876-Behind-NATO--s-cognitive-warfare.-Battle-for-your-brain-waged-by-Western-militaries) and its allies have no stake in the ongoing conflict.

The United States would not be called upon to act as the world's policeman. When they perform, they do so together with others. The combination of manpower in Eastern Europe and NATO's technological capacity [...] would reduce the risk of body bags for NATO countries.

This is stated in a document published in 1993 (!) by the Open Society Foundations of billionaire George Soros (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?111279-George-Soros).

The document explains how the US and its allies can use countries in Eastern Europe as a proxy to fight against Russia. That way, "no NATO (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117876-Behind-NATO--s-cognitive-warfare.-Battle-for-your-brain-waged-by-Western-militaries) troops have to die".

We are carrying out NATO's mission

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov also admitted this on TV: “We are carrying out NATO's mission without bloodshed on their side. That's why they have to provide us with weapons.” Reznikov handed in his resignation last year.

Earlier, Defense Minister Ollongren said at the Warsaw Security Forum (https://x.com/HaraldDoornbos/status/1709847794133963013) that arming Kiev is a "cost-effective way to prevent Moscow from threatening NATO."

She also said that supporting Ukraine (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia) is "a very cheap way" to ensure that Russia does not pose a threat to NATO.

Ukrainians avoiding forced mobilization can apply for Russian citizenship, says Russian Embassy in Canada

The Russian Embassy in Canada has disclosed new information to The Canada Files about policy meant to support Ukrainians who want to avoid fighting for the Nazi Ukrainian government. This comes as the prospect of Ukraine being fully annexed becomes more likely, since gains for the Russian Army increase by the day.

The government of Ukraine has, in response, ordered all of their consulates to . They have also requested and insisted on allied NATO nations to cooperate in aiding forced repatriation of Ukrainians to the front line to fight Russia. Some NATO nations have cooperated, .

According to the Russian Embassy in Canada, Ukrainians wishing to avoid combat can head straight to Russia and apply for citizenship. There are also services available not just to Ukrainians, but to all foreign nationals in general to facilitate the move to Russia. A recent Human Rights report was also released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation exposing the hypocrisy on “human rights” on the part of NATO states, including Canada in particular.

Current Policy towards Ukrainian Refugees

Via email, The Russian Embassy in Canada explained that since a July 2022 decree, , Ukrainians are eligible to apply for Russian citizenship in Russia proper. The process of applying for Russian citizenship for Ukrainians is not available at the consulates or the embassies. However, there are other services available that can be accessed by any foreign national, regardless of nationality, to help facilitate a move to Russia.

Consular Services Available

Consular services are available for verification of documents, regular visa services, and police checks. There are also specific services to help facilitate the move to Russia if due to the policy of the country the embassy is in, there is a genuine fear of forced repatriation to Ukraine. For example, Ukrainians who were born in the Donbass, Kherson, Crimea, or Zaporozhye, and reside abroad, can now verify their documents through the Russian embassy. They’ll be able to use those documents to apply for Russian citizenship when they make the move back to Russia.

For Ukrainians seeking to avoid the conflict with Russia, and are concerned about being forcefully repatriated, the embassy’s recommendation is to contact the nearest Russian consulate or embassy to see what services are available, depending on that person’s particular situation.

Russian citizenship in contrast to deteriorating “human rights” in the West

Russia on the human rights situation in “certain countries”, namely, the NATO states and their anti-Russian peripheries. Canada was of course included in the list, and just one example of the contrast between the Russian government and the Ukrainian government and its supporters was made clear with the human rights issues that the report emphasises. It also, in many ways, brings to light the root causes of the Russian Special Military Operation, NATO’s expansive nature, and NATO’s Nazi origins.

Russia cited, among many past and present white supremacist and Nazi-esque abuses of the Canadian government, the failure on the part of Canada to respect Indigenous language rights. The report paid particular attention to the fact that in the Northwest Territories, in Nunavut, and in the Yukon, Inuktitut, the lingua franca of the indigenous nations there, is only taught up until grade five, despite a guarantee of the right to be educated through secondary and through post-secondary in that language.

Russia describes itself as a multi-national nation. The regional languages of all of the nations that make up the federation are . In fact, one of the reasons that Russia decided to annex Crimea and recognise the Donetsk Peoples’ Republic and Luhansk Peoples’ Republic was legislation on the part of Ukraine .

The reader should compare and contrast that to a nation like Canada, that poisoned (and continues to poison) the water supply of Indigenous nations and brutally abused and killed children for speaking their native language in residential schools, and decide for themselves which country actually believes in the “human rights” concept.

Make the Call

This article assumes that for the Ukrainian reading it, they’re residing in a NATO country and not a die-hard Banderite supportive of the current Ukrainian government. It’s safe assumption that all of the die-hard Banderites are already in Ukraine, or have already died fighting for Bandera, and that any country outside of the NATO periphery will not forcefully repatriate Ukrainians on their own initiative.

For those that came to the NATO states falling for the liberal democratic “Great Democracies” narrative, the “universal values” narrative, or even the “human rights record” narrative, and are now in a conundrum originating from that naivete, there is a way out. They can call the Russian embassy, or if the forced repatriation has already happened, to Volga at callsign 149.200.

This is stated on the official account of the AUGC (the civil guard association), which demands urgent action from the Minister of the Interior Affairs.

And still they continue to say that there is no corruption in Ukraine and they “closely monitor” all the weapons transferred to the Zelensky junta.

🇷🇺⚔️🇪🇺🇺🇸Putin: Russia can supply long-range weapons to regions of the world, from where there will be sensitive blows to countries supplying weapons to Ukraine:

“We are thinking about the topic: if someone considers it possible to supply such weapons to a combat zone to strike our territory and create problems for us, then why do we not have the right to supply our weapons of the same class to those regions of the world “Where will strikes be carried out on sensitive targets of those countries that do this against Russia?”

The first - from Africa, of course, where the Wagner PMC has long trodden the path, in the underbelly of the United States - friendly Venezuela and the Colombian-Mexican drug cartels, and against the British, arm and revive the Irish Republican Army.

On the map: some countries supplying Ukraine long-range weapons.

Medvedev:

“Yesterday, the President of Russia for the first time allowed the possibility of sending our weapons to regions that are at war with the states supplying weapons to Ukraine (or more precisely, using these weapons against our country). In other words, to forces in conflict with America and NATO countries.

This is a significant change in our foreign policy. The way the Americans and their European lapdogs think is: we have the right to transfer any weapons to Ukraine (which is the enemy of our country), but other countries cannot help Russia. In other words, we will destroy you by all possible means, but no one is allowed to supply Russians with weapons/equipment/other assets to defend the country.

Now, let the USA and their allies feel the direct use of Russian weapons by third parties. These parties or regions are intentionally not named, but they can be anyone who considers the USA and its allies their enemies, regardless of their political beliefs and international recognition. Their enemy is the USA, which makes them our friends.

Let the use of Russian weapons by these unnamed “regions” be as destructive as possible for their and our opponents. And let the “sensitive objects of the states supplying weapons to Kyiv” burn in hellfire, along with those who manage them.

And we will rejoice in their successful strikes with our weapons against our common enemies!”

80 years ago today, Allied forces from the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Canada stormed the beaches at Normandy. This attack initiated Operation Overlord, the invasion of France. On D-Day, Allied forces suffered more than 15,000 casualties, including some 4,500 killed. By the time Overlord was finished, on August 30, this number would grow, with some 226,000 wounded and 55,000 killed. But the Allies had liberated France, and in the process captured 200,000 German troops, and killed or wounded another 200,000.

One of the untold stories about Operation Overlord is the role played by the Soviet Army in securing the Allied victory. Two major Soviet offensives were launched in support of Operation Overlord, designed to pin down German forces on the Eastern Front, where more than 60% of German troops were fighting), preventing the Germans from diverting forces to reinforce their troops in France. These two offensives—Bagration and Lvov-Sandomeirz—together killed 520,000 German troops, wounding another 300,000, while capturing more than 192,000, for a total of more than 1 million German casualties.

But the loss to the Soviets was grievous: nearly 250,000 dead, and another 800,000 wounded.

Today we celebrate the anniversary of the battle that began the campaign that liberated France and, ultimately, helped bring about the defeat of Nazi Germany.

But we must never forget the role the Soviet Army played in making this victory, and indeed the victory over Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, possible. Without the sacrifice of the Soviet Army, the Allie’s invasion of France would have proven to be a much more costly campaign.

Which is why, on this anniversary, the failure of the successors to the great alliance that defeated Nazi Germany to invite representatives of the Russian Federation to mark this solemn occasion is particularly egregious.

The cemeteries that contain the remains of those American soldiers who gave their lives in the cause of freedom 80 years ago would be much larger than they already are without the similar massive sacrifice of life by the Russian people we once called friend and ally.

The biggest sacrifices on the altar of this victory were made by the Soviet Union: according to the latest calculation around, 27 million people.

Stalin and his jewish gangsters killed around 40 million people before the war even started ...
They won the war to enjoy gulag and zero freedoms for couple more decades. Well done. How that is something to be proud of is puzzling for me.

According to this article in Wikipedia,

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin

“ Estimates of the number of deaths attributable to the Soviet revolutionary and dictator Joseph Stalin vary widely.[1] The scholarly consensus affirms that archival materials declassified in 1991 contain irrefutable data far superior to sources used prior to 1991, such as statements from emigres and other informants.[2][3][4]

Exhumed mass grave of the Vinnytsia massacre
Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin's regime were 20 million or higher.[5][6][7] After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8] around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[9][10] some 390,000[11] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[12] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[13] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were "purposive" while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.[2] The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[14] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 are sometimes, though not always, included with the victims of the Stalin era.[2][15]”

“ Modern estimates
Some historians claim that the death toll was around 20 million,[65] a figure based on Conquest's book The Great Terror (1968), with some estimates relying in part on demographic losses such as Conquest's.[66] In 2003, British historian Simon Sebag Montefiore suggested that Stalin was ultimately responsible for the deaths of at least 20 million people.[67] In 2006, political scientist Rudolph Rummel wrote that the earlier higher victim total estimates are correct, although he included those killed by the government of the Soviet Union in other Eastern European countries as well.[68][69] In his most recent edition of The Great Terror (2007), Conquest stated that while exact numbers may never be known with complete certainty, at least 15 million people were killed "by the whole range of Soviet regime's terrors."[70] According to Barbara Anderson and Brian Silver, historians such as Robert Conquest made the most primitive of errors. They asserted that these Cold Warriors overestimated fertility rates and underrated the impact of assimilation, through which many Ukrainians were redesignated as Russians in the 1939 census, confusing population deficits, which included unborn children, with excess deaths.[55]
Historians such as J. Arch Getty, Stephen G. Wheatcroft, and others, insist that the opening of the Soviet archives has vindicated the lower estimates put forth by the revisionist school.[71][72] In 2011, after assessing twenty years of historical research in Eastern European archives, American historian Timothy D. Snyder stated that Stalin deliberately killed about 6 million, which rise to 9 million if foreseeable deaths arising from policies are taken into account.[73][74] American historian William D. Rubinstein concluded that, even under most conservative estimates, Stalin was responsible for the deaths of at least 7 million people, or about 4.2% of USSRs total population.[75]
Some historians believe that the official archival figures of the categories that were recorded by Soviet authorities are unreliable and incomplete.[1] In addition to failures regarding comprehensive recordings, as one additional example, Canadian historian Robert Gellately and Montefiore argue that the many suspects beaten and tortured to death while in "investigative custody" were likely not to have been counted amongst the executed.[76][77] Conversely, Wheatcroft states that prior to the opening of the archives for historical research, "our understanding of the scale and the nature of Soviet repression has been extremely poor" and that some specialists who wish to maintain earlier high estimates of the Stalinist death toll are "finding it difficult to adapt to the new circumstances when the archives are open and when there are plenty of irrefutable data" and instead "hang on to their old Sovietological methods with round-about calculations based on odd statements from emigres and other informants who are supposed to have superior knowledge."[78][3] British historian Michael Ellman argues that mass deaths from famines should be placed in a different category than the repression victims, mentioning that throughout Russian history famines and droughts have been a common occurrence, including the Russian famine of 1921–1922, triggered by Stalin's predecessor Vladimir Lenin's war communism policies, which killed about five million people.[79][80] He also states that famines were widespread throughout the world in the 19th and 20th centuries in countries such as China, India, Ireland, and Russia.[15] Ellman compared the behaviour of the Stalinist regime vis-à-vis the Holodomor to that of the British government (towards Ireland and India) and the G8 in contemporary times. According to Ellman, the G8 "are guilty of mass manslaughter or mass deaths from criminal negligence because of their not taking obvious measures to reduce mass deaths" and Stalin's "behaviour was no worse than that of many rulers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."[15] Ben Kiernan, an American academic and historian, described Stalin's era as "by far the bloodiest of Soviet or even Russian history".[81]”

According to the latest estimates, the Soviet Union lost at least 32 million, possibly 45 million, citizens during the Second World War. The historian Nikolai Tolstoy claims that most of them (presumably 20 million) were killed by order of Lavrenti Beria. All those deaths were blamed on the Germans. During the war, Beria had founded a fearsome terror organization, Smersh ("Death to the spies!"), which murdered a vast number of people. Those executioners were so proud of their work that they had themselves filmed while in action. The director Stanislav Govorukhin showed a few such film sequences in his "The Russia We Lost", where Smersh hanged "enemies of the people" and cheerfully applauded their crime. Many people ended up in special camps called ChSIR. Those were intended for the families of traitors to the fatherland.
All prisoners of war were also regarded as traitors. Millions were captured in the years 1941-42. Many of them starved to death since Lazar Kaganovich and Lavrenti Beria, in Stalin's name, forbade the Red Cross to bring the prisoners food. Oddly enough, the Red Cross complied, and still more people died.

And Nazi scientists were brought to the US after the war via Operation Paperclip,

https://www.rt.com/news/566262-ameri...-collaborators

To quote part of the above article,

“ America’s Neo-Nazi bedfellows in Ukraine are the latest in a long line of odious allies Washington has used against Russia

From pogrom-mongers to Hitlerites to radical Islamists, the US has collaborated with repugnant partners for more than a century

~~~
Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was furious when he found out in March 1945 that his supposed World War II ally, Washington, was negotiating with the German Nazis behind his back. In fact, by the accounts of some historians, American spy and future CIA director Allen Dulles essentially kicked off the Cold War when he held secret talks with Waffen SS General Karl Wolff as Hitler's regime was nearing its collapse.

Stalin, US President Franklin Roosevelt, and UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill had agreed that they would accept only unconditional surrender from the Nazis because of the Hitler regime’s monstrous crimes. When the Dulles-Wolff talks came to light, FDR repeatedly and falsely told Stalin that no one was negotiating with the Germans. The Georgian generalissimo was unconvinced and suspected that his Western allies were maneuvering to contain the USSR and occupy territory that might otherwise fall to the Red Army.

The Soviets had reason to be suspicious. Some in Washington, including Dulles, viewed the USSR as America’s biggest long-term threat even as the countries worked together to defeat Germany.

Save the Nazis

As confirmed by documents that were finally declassified more than half a century later, US intelligence agencies were soon to hire upward of 1,000 Nazis as Cold War spies.

By then, America already had a history of finding common cause against Moscow with unseemly allies. As the Soviets remembered well, the US had invaded Russia in 1918 in a failed effort to help overthrow the Bolshevik government. At the time, Washington was allied with White Army counter-revolutionaries, some of whom had a nasty taste for pogroms and other murderous atrocities.

Even as then-President Woodrow Wilson moralized to world leaders about self-determination and opposing external aggression – principles that would be applied only according to US self-interest in the generations ahead – he sent American forces to intervene in the Russian Civil War. He was to set a precedent that has continued to play out to this day, from Germany to Central Asia to the current Ukraine crisis. The pattern was clear: Portray America as the virtuous champion of freedom while working with anyone — however abhorrent their deeds and views might be — as long as they share Washington’s burning desire to hurt Russia.

In 1945, Dulles got his way with Wolff, formerly Heinrich Himmler’s right-hand man. The general and his group of SS officers, which was called the Black Order, agreed to surrender northern Italy to Allied forces. The deal didn’t avail much for the US, coming just six days before the full German surrender, and it sowed seeds of distrust with the Soviets and other allies.”

But it really puzzles me as well that the US and the collective west are remembering the 80 th anniversary of Allied landings. :flower:

Steve Bannon: Lying Tories betrayed Britain, World War 3 & how to destroy the Left

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoUO4Lx1JeU&ab_channel=GBNews (1:04:08)
"Steve Bannon's fiery criticism of conservatives who "don't have the balls" to take action and fight is evident throughout his interview with GB News America's Steven Edginton. Bannon warns of the dangers of a third world war with the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and urges conservatives to "take action" and defeat the woke Left. The former advisor to President Trump also urges Nigel Farage not to stand in the upcoming UK election and accuses Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak of betraying their conservative voters. Bannon says the assassination of JFK was one of the most important events of the 20th century, describes Lyndon Johnson as a "demon" and discusses lessons from Russian revolutionary Lenin."

I totally get what you are saying but who is really pushing for war in NATO? Who founded Nato? What about CFR/Bilderbergers/TLC? etc. etc.

I know the cabal, satanists the brother hood what ever you want to call it.

I would like to draw your attention to an immortal piece of paper:

Collective Security Agreement

because this was devised in the very weird way that "Nazi Argentina" was brought into the fold when the United Nations was founded.

So you find this thing enshrined in the United Nations Charter, and then, it is this particular bit that is transferred forward as the legal and operational basis of NATO.

So, no, it was not anyone's original plan for this to be in the Charter, and then it comes as an eleventh hour maniac attack and *voomp*.

It is also a legal truth that many of the related offices are Appointments.

Most countries have an elected Foreign Minister; the U. S. has State Department Appointments. NATO is mostly Appointments.

Those are probably two of the simplest and most basic facts that have huge bearing on the current situation.

It does yield itself to private individuals dictating to governments, such as when CFR says "jump", State Dept. says "how high?"

But that is a very insidious strategy about injecting militancy into the UN, and, I suppose, it has rode rather effortlessly on the shoulders of European pawn countries ever since.

It also has a simple resolution, since the NATO terms say that after twenty years, one may withdraw one's membership. You can vote for that, you can get your Legislature to approve the exit and be out.

I would suggest that research in Medical Plasma beginning in a Soviet frontier province with a controversial name is something that the CIA reported to the Department of Defense *twice* in the 1970s was something America ought to look into as well.

Meanwhile, they built the majority of Ukraine's infrastructure still being used.

They were able to house Cuban refugees, who seemed to be happy with it.

I suppose I am talking Kruschev and beyond. But that is, I think, by 1956 he went to a pre-NATO meeting and asked if he could join. They stared at him blankly.

It does, of course, sound hypocritical for Stalin to condemn the Nazis for what he himself was doing. But of course you would want to defeat those guys. The opportunity did not come from the German generals according to the Schliefen Plan, but, was mainly Hitler's own idea. It didn't work, because it is not what he was good at, yelling.

Putin on 'plan' to attack NATO countries: 'Who came up with this? It's nonsense, it's nonsense'

1798455234131632285

The idea that Russia is intent on expansion and would also want to attack a NATO country is 'nonsense'. President Putin said this on Wednesday in an interview with the international press (https://youtu.be/yBN2CoJwR8E) during an economic forum in St. Petersburg. “There is no reason to look for any imperialist ambitions on our part. There are none,” Putin emphasized. “There is no reason to look for something that is not there. Don't portray Russia as an enemy.”

It's nonsense, it's nonsense

They have come up with the idea that Russia wants to attack NATO. Have you gone crazy? Are you as stupid as a pig's butt? Who made this up? It's nonsense, it's nonsense, the president said. Putin also said that the death toll among Ukrainian soldiers is five times higher than among the Russian armed forces. He let slip that 50,000 Ukrainian victims per month is a "very conservative" estimate.

Tortured to death

In addition, he does not expect that a possible victory for Trump in the presidential elections will change much in the relationship with the United States. “Overall, there is no difference between Biden and Trump,” he said. Putin wonders why the American government is not investigating the death of American journalist Gonzalo Lira, who was 'tortured to death in prison by the regime in Kiev'.

Russia ‘not even thinking’ of using nuclear weapons – Putin 7 Jun, 2024

Moscow has never said it was ready to “push the red button,” the president has said

Moscow has never been the first to resort to aggressive nuclear rhetoric, President Vladimir Putin told a question-and-answer panel at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday. The nation’s nuclear doctrine only allows the use of atomic weapons in “exceptional cases” and the current situation is not one, he added.

When asked whether Russia should “climb the nuclear escalation ladder faster,” Putin replied that Moscow has never initiated such escalation. Russia “has never said” it was “ready to push the red button,” the president stated, adding that Moscow has always called on other nations to treat such issues “seriously” but was instead accused of nuclear saber-rattling.

“We are not brandishing [nuclear weapons],” Putin said.

Russia’s nuclear doctrine clearly states that atomic weapons can only be used in the face of a “threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of the country, the president stated. “I do not believe that it is the case now.”

He warned, however, that changes to the doctrine “are not ruled out.”

The president expressed hope that “it will never come” to a nuclear exchange between Moscow and the West. He said Russia possesses an effective early-warning system and a vast nuclear arsenal, including tactical nuclear weapons, which are three or four times more powerful than the bombs dropped by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The EU lacks both and only the US has comparable capacity, he added.

Moscow “has no reasons to even think about” using nuclear weapons, according to Putin. Russia vastly outguns its enemy when it comes to tanks and aviation, the president said. Ammunition production in Russia has also increased by a multiple of 20 amid the ongoing conflict, he added. Putin then called on Russian officials to not even “touch upon” the subject of nuclear weapons unless absolutely necessary.

More Latin American states reject Zelensky’s ‘peace summit’ – Izvestia 7 Jun, 2024

Mexico and Nicaragua have refused to take part in a “political farce,” their diplomatic missions told the outlet

Mexico and Nicaragua are the latest nations to refuse to take part in the so-called ‘Ukraine peace summit’ organized by Switzerland, Izvestia newspaper reported on Friday. Earlier, Brazil and Argentina announced that they would not attend the gathering, highlighting Kiev’s failed attempts to rally Latin American countries to Vladimir Zelensky’s 'peace plan'.

The gathering, scheduled for June 15-16 at the Burgenstock Resort, has been touted by Kiev and its Western backers as the most realistic way of resolving the conflict with Russia. Moscow, however, has been deliberately excluded from the event, and has described it as a “scam” intended to trick neutral nations into supporting Zelensky and the Ukrainian government.
Mexico has maintained a neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict since it began in 2022 and has refused to impose economic sanctions on Russia.

The country’s embassy in Russia confirmed to Izvestia it had been invited to the summit but stated that Mexico will skip the event.

“Our country stands for peace, so we expect that it will soon be possible to hold negotiations in which both sides to the conflict will participate,” an embassy spokesperson told the outlet.

The conference is based on Zelensky’s ‘peace formula’. The ten-point initiative calls for Moscow to withdraw from all territory Kiev claims as its own and for a tribunal to be set up to prosecute Russian officials for alleged war crimes. Moscow has dismissed the plan, calling it “detached from reality.”
Venezuela and Cuba are also likely to skip the summit, according to media reports, citing Swiss government officials.

“The fact that many countries will not be attending the event or that they will not be represented by top officials sends a signal that Latin America is not willing to take sides in this conflict,” St. Petersburg State University Professor Viktor Heifets told Izvestia.

Despite inviting around 160 states to the summit, Kiev has largely failed in its attempts to drum up support in the Global South. Countries such as China, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia have already said they will not attend, while India is reportedly among those considering only sending a low-level delegation.

US President Joe Biden will not be going to Switzerland either, the White House has announced. The leaders of South Africa, Argentina, and Pakistan will also be absent.

Lugansk Residential Areas Deliberately Struck by Five US-Made ATACMS Missiles - Russian MoD 7 hours ago
https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/img/07e8/06/07/1118836211_0:55:1086:666_1920x0_80_0_0_f239652331feabf4a54714a7faab02bb.jpg.webp

Ukrainian forces targeted residential areas of Lugansk with five US ATACMS missiles, four of which were intercepted by Russian air defenses while one hit two apartment buildings, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated on Friday.
Ukraine has hit an apartment building Lugansk with US-supplied missiles — killing three civilians and injuring at least 35 more.

"At 11:00 Moscow time (8 am GMT) today, the Kiev regime committed a crime against the civilian population of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) using weapons supplied by the West," a Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) statement said. "Five US-made ATACMS missiles were deliberately launched at residential areas of the city of Lugansk."

The MoD noted that four of the American missiles were downed by Russian air defense systems. One missile struck two apartment buildings, the statement added.

An entire entranceway of the building collapsed, trapping people under the rubble, Head of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) Leonid Pasechnik said, adding that rescue teams working on-site.
Earlier, LPR Health Minister Natalia Pashchenko reported that the number of people injured in the missile attack on Lugansk by the Ukrainian Armed Forces had risen to 35, including three children, with five individuals in critical condition.
"According to the latest data, the number of casualties from the Ukrainian Armed Forces' shelling of the republic's capital has risen to 35 people. Three of them are children (boys aged 16, 15, and 8 years)" stated the minister in a message published on the LPR government's Telegram channel.

She reported that five individuals are in a critical condition, but the children's lives are not in danger — their injuries are considered moderate. At least three people were killed.
Ivan Kusov, the LPR Minister of Education and Science, reported that two schools, three kindergartens, a college and one of the buildings of Dalevsky University were damaged in the shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
He noted that the blast wave shattered windows at educational institutions. There were no casualties or injuries among the staff and students.

German naivety, really? what do you expect ?

Russian reaction to Western soldiers in Ukraine: “No one comes back alive, we will kill them all”

During my visit to the war zone, I conducted an interview with Russian Senator Dmitri Rogozin about the escalation by the West, which I wanted to publish immediately due to its explosive nature. That's why there's a Tacheles special broadcast about it.

I will report separately and in detail about my trip to the war zone and there will also be a lot of video material that we will soon show on Anti-Spiegel-TV and other channels. But I wanted to publish an interview immediately because it shows how explosive the situation has become.

I noticed a completely different atmosphere at the front than had prevailed on my previous visits. The reason is the escalation steps taken by the West.

Since this local mood was surprising and quite shocking to me, who lives in Russia and also has contacts with soldiers, I published this interview immediately because it shows the fire that Western politicians are playing with, which is obviously the case is not clear to anyone in the West.

I will report in detail about my trip and my impressions on Friday.

Robert Stein watched the interview with me and we interrupted and commented on it at a few points for clarity. If you want to watch the interview without our comments, you can find it under this link on my Telegram channel.

"Nazis who were aided by American intelligence officials, the report cites help that C.I.A. officials provided in 1954 to Otto Von Bolschwing, an associate of Adolf Eichmann who had helped develop the initial plans “to purge Germany of the Jews” and who later worked for the C.I.A. in the United States. In a chain of memos, C.I.A. officials debated what to do if Von Bolschwing were confronted about his past — whether to deny any Nazi affiliation or “explain it away on the basis of extenuating circumstances,” the report said.
The Justice Department, after learning of Von Bolschwing’s Nazi ties, sought to deport him in 1981. He died that year at age 72.
The report also examines the case of Arthur L. Rudolph, a Nazi scientist who ran the Mittelwerk munitions factory. He was brought to the United States in 1945 for his rocket-making expertise under Operation Paperclip, an American program that recruited scientists who had worked in Nazi Germany. (Rudolph has been honored by NASA and is credited as the father of the Saturn V rocket.)
The report cites a 1949 memo from the Justice Department’s No. 2 official urging immigration officers to let Rudolph back in the country after a stay in Mexico, saying that a failure to do so “would be to the detriment of the national interest.”
Justice Department investigators later found evidence that Rudolph was much more actively involved in exploiting slave laborers at Mittelwerk than he or American intelligence officials had acknowledged, the report says.
Some intelligence officials objected when the Justice Department sought to deport him in 1983, but the O.S.I. considered the deportation of someone of Rudolph’s prominence as an affirmation of “the depth of the government’s commitment to the Nazi prosecution program,” according to internal memos.
The Justice Department itself sometimes concealed what American officials knew about Nazis in this country, the report found.
In 1980, prosecutors filed a motion that “misstated the facts” in asserting that checks of C.I.A. and F.B.I. records revealed no information on the Nazi past of Tscherim Soobzokov, a former Waffen SS soldier. In fact, the report said, the Justice Department “knew that Soobzokov had advised the C.I.A. of his SS connection after he arrived in the United States.”
(After the case was dismissed, radical Jewish groups urged violence against Mr. Soobzokov, and he was killed in 1985 by a bomb at his home in Paterson, N.J. )"

False Flag On The Horizon? The Strange Case Of The Destroyed Russian Nuclear Radar

If we accept the fundamental truth that Ukraine is nothing more than a proxy battleground between Russia and the west, then you might say WWIII has already begun. The powers-that-be have been content to keep the situation contained primarily to Ukraine so far, but a recent event suggests things are about to change. There’s something very strange happening on the nuclear front between NATO and Russia and I believe it might be time to consider the possibility that a false flag threat is in the works.

In the past two weeks Ukraine has taken credit for at least two separate strikes on peculiar targets – Russian “over the horizon” radar stations using drones with an impressive flight range of at least 1200 miles. Until this point, long range attacks into Russian territory have been exceedingly rare. So, why these specifics radar stations?

The Voronezh-DM stations were positioned outside the city of Orsk and the region of Krasnodar (Armavir); far away from the front lines in Ukraine. The strikes are being hailed as the furthest Ukraine has attacked into the heart of Russia, but the corporate media has ignored the wider implications of the situation.

It is likely that the drones used were of US or European origin. NATO has (until the past couple of days) enforced tight restrictions on how their weapons can be used by Ukraine. Long range drones and cruise missiles hitting targets deep in Russia invites major blowback, including the threat of a nuclear response.

That said, it’s not so much the weapons used that concerns me, it’s the specific targets that Ukraine supposedly chose.

Russia’s over-the-horizon radar systems have a detection range of at least 6000 miles (the real range is classified) and scan specifically for high altitude ballistic missiles. They are not designed to detect lower flying medium range cruise missiles (ATACMS) and drones. Meaning, the two stations destroyed by Ukrainian weapons are meant to act as an early warning system for nuclear attack.

The Ukrainians supposedly defied NATO restrictions, not once, but twice, to target radar systems that have nothing to do with them. In fact, the arrays sit in permanently fixed positions and neither array was actually aimed at Ukraine, they were aimed to the North and Southwest of Russia. The Armavir radar was constructed in 2009 to close a gap created by the loss of radars in Ukraine, and was also meant to replace an older Daryal radar in Gabala. Interestingly, Armavir and Orsk “search fans” watch the skies primarily above the Middle East, including Israel, and a large chunk of Europe including Switzerland.

Instead of attacking vital strategic resources like oil refineries or ammo depots, Russia’s nuclear defenses are being systematically hobbled. Why?

It’s important to understand that a strike of this kind deep into the center of Russia requires complex planning and logistics. It cannot be achieved without covert intel on the ground as well as aid from satellite surveillance. Ukraine relies completely on NATO satellites and intel; no such strike would ever be possible without NATO involvement. Furthermore, the drones used would need to have the ability to evade early detection systems and remain hidden for thousands of miles. This kind of technology comes mainly from the west.

In other words, there’s no way that these attacks were accomplished by Ukraine without extensive help and approval from the US or European command. I question the notion that a Ukrainian pilot was even remotely flying the drones. We’re talking about some of the most closely defended radar stations in the whole of Russia.

Why does any of this matter? Let’s consider the ugly realities…

First, the targeting of Russian nuclear defenses might make the Kremlin believe they are being prepped for a nuclear strike. Why else would their ballistic radar be singled out? This means they will be on high alert for a possible nuclear exchange. Not good.

Second, the Voronezh-DM stations are used to identify FALSE POSITIVE alerts of nuclear attack. Meaning, if there a weapon is used against Russia that mimics a high altitude ballistic missile, their ability to detect that it’s NOT a nuke has been reduced. They might launch their own warheads in response to a non-nuclear strike (a fake strike or false flag).

Third, Armavir and other stations could be used to record ballistic missile activity well outside Russian air space (in places like the Middle East). It’s possible these strikes were meant to blind Russia and stop them from detecting missile events that are unrelated to the Ukraine war.

Fourth, it’s possible that NATO and Ukraine believe dismantling the radar sends a message that if Russia threatens nuclear attack, they might be hit first. All this means is that Russia won’t give a warning, they’ll simply launch.

Fifth, the attack on Armavir alone meets the conditions the Russian government laid out publicly in 2020 for actions that could trigger a nuclear retaliatory strike. Russia’s early warning network is part of the country’s broader nuclear deterrent posture.

“The conditions specifying the possibility of nuclear weapons use by the Russian Federation” include any “attack by an adversary against critical governmental or military sites of the Russian Federation, disruption of which would undermine nuclear forces response actions,” according to the Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence the Kremlin published in 2020.

So far there has been no indication on how Russia will retaliate, but let’s consider the circumstances at the front right now. Ukrainian defenses are thin and they lack the manpower needed to maintain the most rudimentary of strong points. As I noted last month, Ukraine’s front line is about to be overrun, likely this summer, with Russia opening a new offensive push in the north near Kharkiv.

NATO countries are now say they support Ukraine’s use of long range weapons inside Russia. This means major metropolitan areas of Ukraine will be on the the table for Russia’s own long range strikes, a measure which they have avoided for the most part. Also watch for the potential use of thermobaric bombs (vacuum bombs) by Russia; these are massively destructive weapons that have so far been absent from the battlefield (aside from unverified reports).

The west is sending Russia the message that they will not allow Ukraine to lose, they will not pursue diplomatic solutions and if Russia begins gaining significant ground, anything goes. Does this include nukes? It’s hard to say.

My suspicion is that the establishment wants to create a scenario in which Russia is led to overreact to an event, or, the public is led to believe Russia is a legitimate nuclear threat to the west. There is also the outside possibility that Russia is being blocked from monitoring a future ballistic incident in the Middle East.

The timing of the radar attacks comes only weeks before the planned Ukraine “peace conference” in Switzerland on June 15th. Although major leaders from the US, China, and Europe will not be attending (and Russia isn’t invited), the summit is still a juicy target for a false flag and thus unification of western interests around a larger war with Russia. I’m not saying the conference itself will be attacked, necessarily, but a major attack during the conference could be used to sell the idea of total NATO intervention.

If the goal is to expand the war then any perceived hostilities aimed at the conference could also be used as an excuse to rally popular support. The fact that so many world leaders including Biden refuse to show up makes it even more dubious.

I highly doubt the establishment wants to trigger a global nuclear war. They have everything to lose and very little to gain. They just spent the better part of the last century building up one of the most intricate economic and political control grids in the history of humanity. I don’t think they would be happy to see it all vaporized in the blink of an eye. That said, a limited nuclear event might serve their interests well.

As I write this multiple governments including the French government are calling for European troops to be deployed to Ukraine. Some political leaders want them to go as “advisers” and trainers. This is exactly what the US did right before it deployed extensive military forces to Vietnam. Remember the false flag Gulf of Tonkin incident?

Something very odd is going on here. I have no doubt that WWIII is the intended outcome of the confrontation between NATO and Russia in Ukraine. The question is, how do they plan to arrange that outcome while convincing the American and European public to join the war effort? They need a serious false flag.

Let us remind you that the authorities refused to specify the terms of demobilization, so the service under the contract is indefinite.

Caribbean Flotilla: What to know about Russian naval detachment’s Cuba visit

A detachment of warships from the Russian Northern Fleet will be visiting Cuba June 12-17.

The ships in the flotilla include:

◾️ The Admiral Gorshkov – lead ship of the Admiral Gorshkov class of frigates, armed with Kalibr, Oniks, and Zircon anti-ship and land attack cruise missiles, Redut air defenses, and 330 mm torpedo tubes. The Gorshkov has a rep for long-distance travel, drilling with the South African, Chinese and Iranian navies in 2023.

◾️ The Kazan – a Yasen-class nuclear-powered cruise missile sub known for its whisper-quiet engines and ability to carry Zircon, Oniks or Kalibr missiles, torpedoes, and Igla-M SAMs.

◾️ The Academic Pashin – a replenishment oiler accompanying warships on long-distance trips.

◾️ The Nikolai Chiker – a seagoing rescue tug.

Cuba’s Defense Ministry said the flotilla's visit in Havana reflects strong ties between the two countries, that none of the Russian ships is carrying nuclear weapons, and that the stop-over is not a threat to anyone. Russian crews will meet the Cuban Navy commander and Havana’s governor, and tour historical and cultural sites.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the objective of the trip is to show the flag “and ensure a naval presence in operationally important area of the far ocean zone.”

The reaction of US officials has been predictably sour, with WH spokesman John Kirby stressing Washington would “watch” the visit “closely, like we do with all Russian naval exercises in the Caribbean.” That said, the US is “not anticipating any significant national security threat” from the trip, Kirby indicated.

Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio demanded that the administration do more. “We haven’t had a Russian submarine carrying nuclear capable missiles operating in the Caribbean in over 30 years. So if the regime in Cuba decides to allow one to make a port call just 90 miles from our shores, the Biden administration must impose real consequences on them,” he urged.

Putin's SPIEF speech showcases stamina and strategy, say Western analysts

Sputnik has asked three Western ‘wise men’ who watched Vladimir Putin’s speech at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday what they have to say about the style and substance of the Russian president’s remarks.

💬 “Avoid the substance of what he said. Let's focus on the subliminal message. Number one, Putin was able to speak for over three hours,” former CIA analyst-turned independent political and security affairs observer Larry Johnson said. “Compare and contrast that with Joe Biden. Biden's lucky if he can speak 10 minutes without running out of breath and falling asleep, number one, or nodding off or asking somebody for ice cream.”

💬 “Putin gave an excellent summary of Russia's victory in Ukraine, that is inevitable, the development of Russia's lands and economy and the attraction of skilled workers, and the ultimate defeat of the West, which I think can be best characterized as that classic scene from Ben Hur when Charlton Heston is racing in a chariot against his Roman competitor, and the Roman competitor's chariot falls apart and crumbles as he gets trampled under the horse hooves,” said Scott Bennet, an ex-US State Department counterterrorism analyst-turned independent political commentator.

💬 “The ending was fantastic. The ending was Russia is going to be the capital of the multipolar harmonic world,” said Pepe Escobar, roving correspondent, geopolitical analyst and Sputnik contributor.

“He introduced a very Chinese concept of harmony in the whole thing, which is totally anti-war, anti-warmongering and anti what the collective West has been doing. And considering that the collective West threw everything that they had against Russia and Russia now is the fourth largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity, proves that he's on to something,” Escobar suggested.

Russia will win – Putin
The Ukraine conflict will end on Moscow’s terms, the president has said

Peace talks are based on either victory or defeat, and Russia intends to win, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, when asked about the Ukraine conflict.

Putin’s comments came during a question-and-answer panel at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Stating that the leadership in Kiev is illegitimate and that the West cannot be trusted, the Russian leader said this will not get in Moscow’s way.

“All negotiations are based on either military defeat, or military victory. Of course, we will win,” Putin said.

Moscow is open to negotiations, Putin repeated, but it needs to be able to trust the people on the other side and be offered conditions that are in its interest. Peace talks can’t be based on “fantasies,” he added.

Putin was referring to the admissions by former leaders of Germany and France about the Minsk peace process, which ostensibly sought to resolve the dispute in Donbass which began in 2014. The West was merely stalling for time, Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande said in December 2022.

READ MORE: West will remove Zelensky – Kremlin
Putin also reminded the SPIEF audience that Vladimir Zelensky can’t be considered the president of Ukraine, as his term legally expired last month. The Ukrainian constitution is clear on extending the parliament’s mandate in case of emergencies, but says nothing about presidential terms. Zelensky’s claim to power is therefore illegitimate, Putin concluded, implying that Russia will have to find someone else to deal with.

#Zakharova
Maria Zakharova, 7 June

💬 On June 2, it was 10 years since the Kiev regime committed a monstrous crime against the civilian population of Lugansk.

The city center then, in 2014, was hit by a SU-25 attack aircraft of the 299th tactical aviation brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of a deliberate and deliberate attack with cluster munitions on the square named after the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War, a playground and the building of the regional administration, eight people were killed, about thirty were injured.

It was a demonstrative massacre of innocent people. The Kiev regime and those who brought it to power then needed it in order to sow panic among local residents, intimidate them, show what will be done to them and how they will live if they do not obey the will of the Kiev regime that illegally came to power.

This act of aggression, like other bloody war crimes committed by the Kiev regime, has no statute of limitations and will never be forgotten.

The Lugansk People's Republic defended its right to self-determination, the right to freely speak its native Russian language, observe its traditions and honour its true heroes who gave their lives for the liberation of humanity from fascism. Today, the republic is an integral part of the Russian Federation and, together with all our people, continues to fight for security, independence, justice, and historical memory.

Russia slams US for peddling ‘pseudo-peace conference’ while fueling Ukraine proxy inferno

Washington needs to decide whether it is “for peace,” or intent on fueling the proxy “inferno” in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Pointing to the new military aid package unveiled by the Biden administration while simultaneously press-ganging countries to attend the so-called peace conference in Switzerland, Zakharova remarked:

“Well, sorry, but either you are in favor of the peace conference – and I am now addressing Washington – or you keep on ramping up the arms supplies. There’s no such thing as being for peace, while pouring fuel on this terrible inferno of carnage.”

⚡️⚡️⚡️"He's A Pawn": Klaus Schwab Makes a Chilling Revelation About Zelensky to Russian Prankers

The leader of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, is necessary for the West solely as a "pawn" in achieving its goals in the fight against Russia. This statement was made by the president of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Klaus Schwab, during a conversation with pranksters Vovan and Lexus.

"We need to use Zelensky and tell him that he will get what he wants, weapons and access to the EU, only if he supports our democratic principles," said the president of the Davos Forum to the pranksters, thinking he was speaking with the famous French economist Jacques Attali.

He added that no one is planning to admit Ukraine to the European Union, but "the prospects for this need to be maintained." Schwab concluded that Zelensky is a "pawn" for the collective West and is needed solely as a puppet to achieve goals in the confrontation with Russia.

The English version of Schwab's full conversation with the pranksters will be available here soon

Dmitry Medvedev's latest broadside :)

Dmitry Medvedev on Telegram: “Rotten liverwurst Scholz suddenly started talking and spoke outright nonsense. Scholz said that the Russian President must admit that Ukraine is strong and cannot be brought to its knees.

Ukraine? What is this? Today, the former Ukraine, to put it in high calm, is something like a dominion, which is directly controlled by the United States and NATO countries. She, although not without difficulty, is completely contained by them. It, despite the protests of its own population, receives all types of the most lethal weapons.

Even the strange guy with the nasty, lumpy face, Borrell, admitted that the conflict in Ukraine could be ended in a couple of weeks if the transfer of weapons to Kiev was stopped.

Where is the power then, sausage maker? In a crazy gushing corruption? In the total theft of Western aid by the Zelensky clique? In a dying people, half of whom live in Russia and Europe?

Ashamed. He, the asshole, should just kneel down and repent to the Ukrainians.
-For lying about the inevitable “victory.”
- For dooming them to extermination, at the same time sacrificing the well-being of
the Germans entrusted to him.
- For the revival of Nazism in the form of Bandera.
- For the indescribable mediocrity of management.
- For the historic loss of confidence in the SPD, from which Willy Brandt and Helmut
Schmidt turned over in their graves many times over.

But he seems to be promoting peaceful and friendly co-existence with russians so maybe thats why the jewish maffia who runs the country and wants war doesnt like him.

Anybody who suggests to have friendly economical or other kind of relations with russia is immediatly labeled pro-kremlin agent .
Before Estonia was getting cheap gas and electricity from Russia.
Now the electricity price is one of the worlds highest because jew maffia took over the energy sector.

Years before i didnt understand why they are destroying Estonia so much if they plan to keep on ruling over it.
Now it makes more sense . Loot as much as you can and then escape to safety before the war comes (which they are trying to bring).

Douglas MacGregor Exposes: "Massive Russian Offensives are Underway to Terminate Ukraine"
In this compelling video, military expert Douglas MacGregor exposes the possibility of a massive Russian offensive aimed at ending the Ukraine war. MacGregor dives deep into the strategic maneuvers and potential implications of such a decisive move by Russia. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the current situation on the ground, including the strengths and weaknesses of both Russian and Ukrainian forces.

MacGregor discusses the motivations behind Russia's potential offensive and the broader geopolitical context driving these actions. His insights offer a unique perspective on the possible outcomes and the ripple effects on global stability and international relations.

This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of the Ukraine conflict and the potential for a major shift in the war's trajectory. Douglas MacGregor's expert commentary challenges mainstream narratives and provides thought-provoking insights into one of the most critical issues facing the world today.

It's fine to have linked to this but I do have to mention that this video content actually dates back to October 2023 (!) which certainly wasn't clear from anything on the description provided on the YouTube channel. This is an interview that Godfrey Bloom did with the Colonel.

Mod note from Bill:
Yes, many of Douglas Macgregpr's interviews, or segments of them, are ripped off undated and out of context, with no attribution offered, on channels that just seek to monetize his work.

A number of Ukrainian sources report that the Ukrainian Armed Forces “no longer have the ability to properly defend” a significant part of Chasov Yar.

🔺The Kanal microdistrict is gradually moving into the category of lost positions, and the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal “is no longer a reliable line of defense.”

The most active contribution to the destruction of defense lines is made by Russian aviation and artillery, which operate on the Armed Forces of Ukraine 24/7.

According to the Ukrainian side, “the time will soon come to leave this city and retreat to where there is an opportunity to hide.”

Previously, some units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for example the 42nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, were redeployed near Kharkov to contain the advance of the Northern Group of Forces. This gave Russian troops the opportunity to advance deeper into the positions and break through the defenses in a number of areas.

▪️Such a number of aircraft is extremely small both in order to really help the Ukrainian Armed Forces and in order to “ satisfy the ambitions of French President Emmanuel Macron, who wants to remain at the center of the political game around military assistance to Kiev .”
▪️The publication associates Macron’s reluctance to name the exact number of aircraft being sent to the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the fact that he will probably have to convince Greece, Qatar and the UAE to transfer their aircraft to Ukraine.

Attack on Crimea: The enemy fired 12 ATACMS missiles at the peninsula at once 2024-06-10

After midnight, Ukrainian formations again attacked the Crimean peninsula, launching at least 12 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles from the Nikolaev region. The target of the strikes was the vicinity of Chernomorskoye, Yevpatoriya and Dzhankoy. In the northwestern part of Crimea, sounds of air defense and muffled explosions were heard.

https://avia.pro/sites/default/files/images/0623/01_1.jpg?s593613d1718014400

According to Mikhail Zvinchuk, the target could be the positions of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division, since air defense work at airfields in these areas was not recorded. It is not known for certain whether the enemy succeeded in achieving their goals, but the absence of fires and secondary detonation gives hope for repelling the attack or causing minor damage.

On the eve of Russia Day on June 12, Ukrainian formations are increasing the number of attacks in Crimea. In addition to missile attacks, attacks using unmanned boats and unmanned aerial vehicles were recorded. This morning a missile alert was already introduced in Crimea, which may indicate the launch of decoy missiles in the direction of the peninsula. More attack attempts can be expected in the coming days.

These actions on the part of Ukraine can be considered as another attempt to destabilize the situation and cause damage to Russia’s strategic targets. The increase in the number of attacks and the variety of means of attack used indicates a deliberate escalation of the conflict, which requires an adequate and prompt response.

Germany wants total war. The abyss is getting closer – opinion 27 mins ago

The Battle of Berlin. A fragment of a diorama in the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow
Dmitry Zagorodnyuk

After two years of war in Ukraine, it is clear that the abyss is getting closer and closer. This is evident from the coolness with which Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is destroying the red lines he himself drew. Journalist Sven Brajer expressed this opinion on the Berlin 24/7 news portal on June 9.

“It all started with 5,000 helmets, and meanwhile, after almost two years of war in Ukraine, ‘we’ see German weapons designed to destroy Russians in their own country. What’s going to happen next? Who will be the first to push the red button? The abyss is getting closer and closer,” he wrote.

According to Brajer, Scholz is reminiscent of his predecessor in office Konrad Adenauer and his legendary dictum, “What do I care about my yesterday’s chatter?” Now, for the first time, he has officially authorized Ukraine to use German weapons to attack Russian territory.

This happened 80 years after the Red Army drove the Nazi invaders out of the Soviet Union with huge losses and 110 years after the Social Democrats voted for war loans to the German Empire on the eve of the First World War.

Remarkably, just a day earlier, it was reported from Washington that Ukrainians are now allowed to use US weapons against targets in Russia, but so far, only in the Kharkov region.

That’s just for starters. It is clear where the wind is blowing from in the Federal Chancellor’s office: from the west, from the Atlantic, as is often the case. They have now decided to escalate the situation there.

Thus, not only Ukraine is becoming a victim of the US administration’s geopolitical plans on the big geopolitical chessboard. The rest of Europe can happily become a battlefield, the main thing is that the war should be far enough away from its own territory.

At best, the USA will get rid of an annoying economic competitor in the face of the EU that can be rebuilt with US loans after possible total or partial destruction similar to that after 1945.

Lindsey Graham, who has demonstrated zero compassion for the human beings who find themselves living in war zones, shows that that he has great compassion for the billionaires who would be loosing billions in profits that would go to Russia and China. Sometimes it just takes a psychopath to reveal the deep truths of U.S. foreign policy.

Ukraine is a ‘gold mine’ – US senator
Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive America of access to vast mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says
https://www.rt.com/news/599068-ukraine-gold-mine-us/

Washington “cannot afford” to allow Russia to achieve victory in the Ukraine conflict as this would mean losing direct access to vast mineral assets, US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) has said.

In an interview with ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS on Sunday, Graham accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being a “megalomaniac” who is attempting to “re-create the Russian Empire by force of arms,” starting with Ukraine. He further claimed that if Moscow wins the current conflict, it will then take over Ukraine’s wealth and share it with China. Graham described that prospect as “ridiculous,” suggesting it would be better if this “gold mine” were available to the US instead.

“They’re sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe... If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that $10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China,” Graham stated.

This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let’s help them win a war we can’t afford to lose… They’re sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin $10 or $12 trillion for critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous.

Graham, a longtime Russia hawk and one of the staunchest supporters of Ukraine in the US Senate, also called on the West to speed up the seizure of $300 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets. He reiterated his demands for Russia to be designated “a state sponsor of terrorism” under US law, a suggestion which earlier this year landed the senator on Moscow’s list of extremists and terrorists.

One day prior to Graham’s remarks, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban argued that the West wants Kiev to win the conflict with Russia so that it can control Ukraine’s wealth. In an interview with Hir TV, Orban accused the US and its allies of seeing Ukraine as a potentially huge source of revenue which they will be able to control, provided Russia is defeated. He also said the conflict is a major boost for Western “arms suppliers, creditors, and speculators,” arguing that this is the reason it has dragged on for so long.

Moscow has repeatedly stated throughout the conflict that its goals are to protect the largely Russian-speaking population of Donbass against persecution by Kiev, and to ensure Russia’s own security in light of NATO expansion toward its borders. Moscow has never spoken of any intention to take over Ukraine’s resources, but has repeatedly stressed that the former Ukrainian regions which have chosen to join Russia, including Crimea, must remain under its control.

Andrea Lucini, an Italian journalist and war correspondent, spoke of the quality of the panels at SPIEF and the impressive number of attendees.

Unsurprisingly, like most Western media, Italian media have been reporting a dearth of people at the forum, no delegations or business people from Europe...

"This is fake, it's not true. I saw a lot of people from Europe, from USA, university professors from China, Iran and Lebanon."

The Donbass Republics' stands, he said, were much larger than last year, and the impression is that now the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics, as well as Zaparozhe and Kherson, are integrated into Russia.

"Unfortunately, Western media weren't interested in reporting on this. They continue this narrative about a "Russian invasion of Ukraine," and that these regions are not officially part of the Russian Federation. But, facts are facts."

We spoke of Western media targeting journalists who report from the Donbass in Ukraine's war crimes, calling us Russian propagandists.

"This isn't true. I'm here because I want to offer to the Italian people another perspective about the conflict in Donbass."

US Lifts Ban on Arms Supplies to Ukraine’s Nationalist Battalion Azov - Reports
16 hours ago

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US administration has lifted the ban on arms supplies to Ukraine's terrorist Azov battalion (banned in Russia), The Washington Post newspaper reported, citing the US State Department.

The formation has passed the State Department's inspection for compliance with the Leahy Law, which prohibits the provision of US military assistance to foreign units convicted of serious human rights violation, the report added

The Azov battalion is one of the most notorious military units of the Ukrainian army, as its soldiers have been found to be involved in torture, abuse of civilians, neo-Nazism and excessive brutality since its foundation.
Earlier, there were already concerns that the prohibition on military aid to Azov was de facto losing force, particularly because the Azov fighters had become part of Ukraine's National Guard or had created new separate paramilitary formations.

Nuclear Weapon Drills Help Russia Prepare for Possible NATO Invasion
1 hour ago

The ongoing Russian tactical nuclear weapon drills, whose second phase began this week, is not some kind of act of showmanship, warns military analyst Igor Korotchenko, editor in chief of National Defense magazine.

The purpose of this exercise is to rehearse the “practical mechanisms” of tactical nuclear weapon use if a decision to resort to such drastic measures were to be made.
This is not signaling someone, not some underscoring of some ‘red lines’ - this is about practice,” Korotchenko tells Sputnik.
The various aspects of tactical nuclear weapon use being tested during this exercise include the delivery of presidential authorization to the troops, unlocking the warheads, flight data input and targeting – basically everything involved in an actual nuclear strike, he says.

The drills are essentially meant to ensure that the Russian Armed Forces would be prepared to launch a tactical nuclear strike against a NATO military contingent if the latter were to be deployed to the Ukrainian conflict zone to attack Russian troops there, Korotchenko claims.
“This is a response mechanism in case NATO enters a war with Russia,” he surmises.

“We do not need to send signals to anyone. We do not need to once again draw ‘red lines’ that lost their value already,” he adds. “We must be prepared for full-scale military action involving the use of tactical nuclear weapons.”

Thus, Korotchenko argues, such drills “should be held regularly and without warning,” and Russian troops should be ready for action if a decision to use tactical nuclear weapons is made.

Putin says the death casualties ratio is estimated by the Russians as 5:1 (Ukr-Rus). I marked it in bold letters below.

https://anti--spiegel-ru.translate.goog/2024/putin-im-o-ton-ueber-russische-verluste/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Putin in the original tone about Russian losses

Russian President Putin has appeared before the international press for three hours. Putin was also asked about Russian losses in the fighting in Ukraine.

by Anti-Spiegel
June 10, 2024 08:00

Russian President Putin answered questions from 15 representatives of international news agencies for three hours, including the German dpa and leading agencies from Great Britain, France and the USA. In the next few days I will translate what I consider to be the most interesting questions and answers. By the way, this event is notable because it is unthinkable that Biden (or Scholz, Macron, etc.) would spend three hours answering questions from international news agencies, including Russian, Chinese, Syrian, Iranian and so on.

Here I translate questions from a French journalist and Putin's answers from the press conference .

Start of translation:

Moderator: It seems logical to me not to stray too far from European issues and to let France have its say. France, which has officially allowed the deployment of European military personnel to Ukraine.

With us is Karim Talbi, editor-in-chief for European news at the France-Press agency. Incidentally, Mr. Talbi speaks Russian very well because, like Martin Romanczyk, he worked as a correspondent in Moscow for a long time.

Please, Mr. Talbi, your question.

Talbi : Mr President, my question also concerns Ukraine. Why can't you still tell us how many Russian soldiers have died in the fighting in Ukraine?

Putin: If that's all you're interested in, I can tell you that, as a rule, no one talks about it. And if they do, the actual numbers are usually distorted.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that our losses, especially if they are unfortunately irreplaceable, are of course many times less than those on the Ukrainian side.

I can tell you the exact number of people held by both sides, in short, in captivity. On the Ukrainian side, there are 1,348 of our soldiers and officers. I know these numbers because we work with them every day. And just recently there was an exchange: 75 people were exchanged for 75 people. We have 6,465 Ukrainian soldiers.

If we talk about irrecoverable losses, then the ratio is the same: one to five. We assume that. By the way, the attempt to carry out total mobilization in Ukraine is directly related to this, because the losses on the battlefield are very high.

You know, it looks something like this: according to our calculations, the Ukrainian army loses 50,000 people every month, these are both sanitary and irrecoverable losses, and their irrecoverable and sanitary losses are about 50:50. And the fact that there is now total mobilization there does not solve the problems, because according to our data, which we receive from various sources, they recruit about 30,000 men a month. They mobilize them by force, or not by force. Now, of course, most often they are picked up by force on the street. There are not many people there who want to fight.

Last month, the month before last, they recruited between 50,000 and 55,000, according to our data. But that doesn't solve the problems. And why not? Because all this mobilization is just to make up for the losses. And that is the cardinal problem that is leading to the lowering of the mobilization age: from 27, it has now gone down to 25.

We only know from the Ukrainian side, it's not a secret at all: the US government insists that the threshold be lowered gradually from 25 to 23, then to 20, then to 18, or immediately to 18, because they are already demanding that 17 year olds register. This is a demand from the US government to the Ukrainian leadership, if one can even call it a leadership after the cancellation of the elections.

In any case - I think I said this publicly recently when I met with the press after my visit to Uzbekistan - I believe that the US government will force the current Ukrainian leadership to make these decisions, raise the mobilization age 18 years old and simply serve Zelensky. But all this must happen first, because this is not a simple story: the law must be passed, certain steps must be taken.

It's now June 2024, which will probably take a year. He will at least be tolerated until the beginning of next year, and when he has done everything, he will be dismissed and replaced. There are a few candidates, as far as I can see.

But we are talking about large losses. I said 50,000, but that is a very conservative estimate. 50,000 is what we see on the battlefield. If we consider that there are even more losses that we know about but cannot count because they are somewhere deep in the hinterland, then it is actually more. If we talk about losses.

Talbi: Allow me to ask you an additional question about our losses, AFP.

Putin: Why?

Talbi: We had a journalist, Armand Solden, who died in Ukraine on May 9, 2023. According to our assessment, he most likely died as a result of drone strikes. The French ministry is investigating. Due to the fact that he was in the Chassov Yar area of Ukraine, it is believed that the drone came from Russia. But that is not the question.

The French ministry wants to investigate. Is Russia willing to cooperate with France in this investigation so that we know what really happened?

It was a great tragedy for us, for AFP, of course for his family, he was 32 years old. So we want a really serious investigation to find out what happened and whether Russia was involved.

Putin : You know, we have never refused an investigation. Do you know how many journalists died in war zones? ( Addressed to Kremlin spokesman Peskov ) How many, do you know?

Peskov: 30 people.

Putin: At least 30 of our journalists have been killed and no one is giving us the opportunity to investigate what happened to them. That's the first thing.

Secondly, if we talk about the events in Ukraine, an American journalist was tortured in prison there, within the walls of the Kiev regime. Unlike you, the United States did not even ask what happened to him. An American citizen, a journalist. He was arrested at the border, dragged to prison and died there, he was literally tortured. No one bothered to ask what happened to him.

Nevertheless, we are ready to organize this work. I don't know how you can do it practically if someone has died in a war zone. But please, we will do our best.

US lawmakers appear rattled by arrival of Russian warships in the Caribbean

The arrival of a small Russian naval taskforce to Cuba elicited mixed signals from the United States, as US legislators and officials took stock of Russian military assets showing up practically on their country’s doorsteps.

Senator Marco Rubio tweeted that the Biden administration “must impose real consequences” on Cuba if the latter decides to allow a “Russian submarine carrying nuclear capable missiles” to make port.

Meanwhile, House Representative Carlos Gimenez blasted the Biden administration for “rewarding” Cuba’s behavior with “sanctions relief” while Havana welcomes Russian naval ships.

Meanwhile, US government and military officials offered a calmer take on the subject, with White House national security spokesman John Kirby telling CBS News that the US has no indication that the Russian vessels are carrying nuclear weapons, and that Washington does not expect these ships to pose any threat to the region.

“We don't anticipate, we don't expect that there'll be any imminent threat or any threat at all, quite frankly, to American national security in the region, in the Caribbean region, or anywhere else," Kirby said.

Pentagon spokesperson Charlie Dietz also told CNN that this arrival of the Russian ships is “part of Russia’s routine naval operations and pose no direct threat to the United States.”

The Russian naval taskforce is expected to make a port call in Havana on June 12 before participating in a military exercise in the Caribbean. It is comprised of three surface vessels – frigate Admiral Gorshkov, replenishment oiler Academic Pashin and tug Nikolay Chiker – and nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine Kazan.

While none of the vessels involved is carrying nuclear weapons, Admiral Gorshkov and Kazan armaments include Zircon hypersonic missiles and Kalibr cruise missiles respectively, both of which are nuclear-capable.

Azov battalion: US says ‘no evidence’ of human rights abuses, but facts prove otherwise

The US State Department allowed American arms supplies to Ukraine’s Azov battalion (banned in Russia) after it “passed inspection for compliance with the Leahy Law,” which prohibits the provision of US military aid to foreign units convicted of serious human rights violations.

The State Department claimed it found “no evidence” of such abuses committed by Azov militants. It seems, however, the US executive body is deliberately turning a blind eye to a mountain of reports from various international organizations, listing their crimes:

▪️Since its foundation in 2014, the Azov battalion, created as a radical nationalist militia and eventually brought under Ukraine's National Guard, has repeatedly tortured civilians and POWs, in addition to committing violent criminal felonies such as rape, robbery and terrorism.

▪️Prior to the Russian special military operation, international organizations, including rights groups, reported on “Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem,” and the war crimes carried out by Azov militants in Donbass.

▪️The US-based Anti-Defamation League listed the Azov brigade in 2019 as a “Ukrainian extremist group” with ties to the US-based neo-Nazi organization, Atomwaffen, and similar white supremacist movements in Europe.

▪️A previous UN report highlighted that the Azov militants committed mass acts of the looting throughout Donbass and regularly shelled residential areas.

▪️The head of the UN monitoring mission, Matilda Bogner, stated that there was "reliable information" regarding the torture of Russian servicemen by Ukrainian soldiers.

▪️Human Rights Watch for its part expressed concern that cases of torture and other crimes by the Azov battalion could go "completely unchecked."

🇷🇺 Northern Fleet's ships have exercise using high-precision missile weapons in Atlantic Ocean

A combined surface action group of the Northern Fleet made up of Project 885M multi-role nuclear submarine cruiser Kazan and frigate Admiral Gorshkov, carrying out long-distance missions, started an exercise on the use of high-precision missile weapons in the Atlantic Ocean.

As part of the exercise, the frigate and nuclear-powered submarine missile cruiser practise the use of high-precision missile weapons by computer-based maritime simulation at targets indicating the ship-based groupings of a mock enemy and located at a distance of more than 600 kilometres.

A few days before, frigate Admiral Gorshkov, which is carrying out long-distance voyage to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Northern Fleet detachment, conducted a training exercise to repel the air attack. As part of the exercise, the crews practised interaction of command posts and combat posts, and launching attacks with AK-192M naval artillery systems and Palash surface-to-air missile and artillery system against simulated air targets.

Lindsey Graham, who has demonstrated zero compassion for the human beings who find themselves living in war zones, shows that that he has great compassion for the billionaires who would be loosing billions in profits that would go to Russia and China. Sometimes it just takes a psychopath to reveal the deep truths of U.S. foreign policy.

Ukraine is a ‘gold mine’ – US senator
Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive America of access to vast mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says

Absolutely, but not the only issue at the core here of course. All sorts of other drivers are going on here not just the 'promise' of the mineral resources (many of which would largely be squirreled away into black budget projects I suspect: SSP - secret space programs; other advanced tech which would likely be weaponised, etc.. - all parties have an interest in that) but as discussed on the thread before, its spiritual and symbolic aspect. I'm thinking of Ihor Berkut and his openly stated and advocated New Heavenly Jerusalem project - a Zionist homeland project right where the newly Russian federated regions are geolocated...

With Graham, you get "Love of Zion" par excellence--just ask him!

The mineral wealth is significant, so would be agriculture, and, oh, prostitution, human trafficking, drugs, you know, all the big money winners. It would have been Paradise!

I believe it is all under one hat, the components cannot be separated.

More importantly, this refutes the idea that Ukraine is being intentionally devastated for divide-and-conquer, this was supposed to have been a stable operation to divide and conquer Russia.

It gives us the bleak but accurate picture that wealthy Capitalists are great friends amongst themselves, viewing other humans as if they were maggots, cockroaches, or fleas.

What's ironic is that Hitler "on his own" was able to send the Third Army and mess up Moscow before his megalomania unraveled, but Graham wasn't even able to get the Ukrainian army past the border before Russia thwarted it. I would rate the experts behind this as egregious as, but far dumber than, Adolf Hitler. The Senator could really use a barbed wire noose attached to an Iranian Fateh missile. I have zero interest of continuing a dialogue with that kind of faction any longer. The only discussions I would be interested in are those which dissolve any possible power base for them to dominate. Remove the opportunity. There is no excuse for there to even be a position from which such assertions about Ukraine could even be thought of. There is no good reason the idea should even be available, to anyone, let alone any "system" that delivers it.

@shaberon

"this refutes the idea that Ukraine is being intentionally devastated for divide-and-conquer, this was supposed to have been a stable operation to divide and conquer Russia."

I don't think it "refutes" the idea; but instead demonstrates that there were several agendas for Ukraine and Russia at different levels within the hierarchy of power.

LG is not at the top of the hierarchy but is clearly under-orders - a kind of middle manager. So what he says (if honest! - a big "if") is just what his bosses have told him - or told him to say.

I believe the top level (demonic) agenda for this was was primarily destruction of the West, secondarily destruction of as many other nations and people as possible - not for strategic gain, but destruction from sheer hatred; but the lower levels are given quasi plausible rationales for this and various up-front incentives (money, power, fame, sex - the usual stuff), so they can pretend to themselves (or perhaps sincerely believe!) that there is some long term plan for "the greater good" behind it all.

Scott Ritter: Why did it take Russia so long to realize Donbass was worth fighting for? 11 Jun, 2024

As its military operation enters a critical stage, the question of why it took Moscow eight years to intervene remains a sensitive topic

https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.06/m/6661add385f540654f04b24e.jpg

On May 26, the Donetsk People’s Republic marked the tenth anniversary of the first battle for the region’s international airport. This was a key clash in the fight between Ukraine and local citizens who opposed the nationalist-dominated government that had seized power in Kiev as a result of the US-backed coup in February 2014. The anniversary was but one in a succession of similar commemorations of events which, together, draw attention to the fact that the war in Donbass has been ongoing for a decade.

Resume:

But why did it take them so long? (for Russia intervention?)
This is the eternal question, one that Russia today struggles to find an adequate answer for.

Russia’s path of redemption ends in Donbass. Here, the sins, errors, and evil which combined to create the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict are manifest. Questions have been asked to which there may be no adequate answer. Today, the situation on the ground increasingly points to a Russian victory over both Ukraine and its supporters in the collective West. But this victory has come at a huge physical and psychological cost. While the dead may be buried and honored, the living will always have to struggle to come to grips over the sacrifices that have been made in support of the cause they were fighting for.

And, in the end, if they believe that the cause was a just one – and it is my firm position that they do, in fact, believe this to be the case – then the answer to the question as to why it took Russia so long to intervene on behalf of Donbass will hang there, unanswerable, if for no other reason than that the pain any honest answer will generate may be too much to bear for those who had been fighting for the liberation of Donbass these past ten years.

How Russian troops confronted NATO forces in Yugoslavia, in a significant post-Soviet first FIRST PART

RT remembers a key moment of the 1999 conflict that ultimately helped to change Russia’s view of the West

Twenty-five years ago, a significant event brought the seemingly weakened Russian army of the 1990s back into the global spotlight. On the night of June 12, 1999, a combined battalion of airborne troops, part of the international peacekeeping contingent in Bosnia and Herzegovina, covered over 600 kilometers to capture the Slatina airfield in Pristina. They managed to outpace NATO forces by mere hours. This audacious secret operation, which even caught many high-ranking officials off guard (including those in Russia) as they learned about it from CNN broadcasts, nearly resulted in an armed standoff.

o commemorate the anniversary of the march to Pristina, RT has once again featured a piece dedicated to these events on its main page.

This feature was originally published on June 11, 2022.

The events of the 1990s in Yugoslavia are often overlooked in discussions about today's relations between Russia and the West. Many fail to grasp why public opinion in Russia, which had looked favorably on the US and Western Europe after the Soviet collapse, suddenly shifted to a position of increased skepticism.

What jolted the naïve and idealistic illusions of many Russians was NATO’s infamous operation against Yugoslavia in 1999.

The formal pretext for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the Kosovo War. The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a group of ethnic Albanian rebels, had been fighting a guerrilla insurgency and organizing terrorist attacks on Serbian government forces, while the Serbs had tried to retaliate. Both sides committed atrocities, but the West, motivated by political considerations, chose to support the Albanians.

This was seen as a tragedy by the Russians. Historically, Russia has had strong ties, and an emotional connection, with Serbia.

The USSR had just fallen apart and the Chechen rebellion was still a major concern, so Russians understood the Serbs' situation very well. Many believed at the time, and still believe now, that Russia avoided the Yugoslavia scenario only because it was a nuclear state.

Moscow wanted to be included in the peacemaking operation in Kosovo and, ideally, to get a mandate to deploy its peacekeepers in the north of Kosovo, which was home to the local Serbian population.

This was a very reasonable idea, since ethnic Serbs had no one to protect them against ethnic cleansing after the Yugoslavian army was expelled from the area. But to NATO, this looked way too ambitious. Given that the US-led bloc was unwilling to cooperate, the Kremlin decided to try and force its hand into accepting Russia’s participation.

SECOND PART

The plan was pretty simple and consisted of a maneuver by Russian troops that were part of the Stabilization Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina (SFOR). A combined Russian battalion was to enter Kosovo, reach the city of Pristina, and secure its airport. This was then to be used as leverage in talks about Russia’s participation in the international peacekeeping effort.

On June 10, the Russian SFOR received covert instructions to prepare 200 troops and light armored vehicles and march to Slatina Air Base in Pristina. The combined battalion of Russian paratroopers was to accomplish the mission under the command of Colonel Sergey Pavlov. Today, Pavlov trains cadets at a military academy.

Politically, the plan was produced by the Russian Foreign Ministry and the GRU, the country’s military intelligence agency, although there were significant factions within the Russian government that didn't support the idea. Precautions were made to prevent any leaks. Only six people had full access to the information about the plan.

A separate small unit was already stationed in Kosovo. It consisted of 18 soldiers from the GRU special task force commanded by Yunus-Bek Yevkurov. As agreed with the Serbs, Yevkurov was appointed commander of this group, tasked with a reconnaissance mission – they were to prevent any unexpected occurrences at the airfield when the main forces arrived there.

The special task force operated in an efficient and unobtrusive manner, carrying out reconnaissance missions and keeping the situation under control, while trying to avoid encounters with NATO troops and KLA fighters.

Meanwhile, preparations for the planned operation were underway in Bosnia. The Russian airborne unit organized a military drill as a cover allowing them to get the equipment and troops ready for the launch of the operation. Each soldier was issued a double ammunition load and enough dry rations to last for 10 days.

At 4am on June 11, the group left the Bosnian town of Ugljevik, driving their APCs and trucks across Yugoslavia towards Pristina. There was a total of 15 APCs and 35 military vehicles carrying 206 soldiers. Apart from common military trucks, there were several refueling vehicles and a communications vehicle in the column. They had to cover a distance of over 600km to get to their destination. Because of the emphasis on speed, initial plans calling for a larger convoy were pared down to just the essential vehicles.

The column moved forward at a high speed – approximately 80 km/h – because the Serbian police had cleared the road for them, thus securing a ‘green corridor’.

In Yugoslavia, the column received a very warm welcome from enthusiastic crowds. In Pristina, Serbs showered the Russian APCs with flowers as they passed. This was indeed a very pleasant experience for the troops, but it also slowed down their march. The APCs finally reached the concrete tarmac of the Slatina Air Base just before dawn. The Serbian soldiers greeted them very cordially, then delegated control of the airfield to them and left their positions.

At approximately 11am, British and French troops moved out towards Pristina from Macedonia. The British attempted to use Slatina’s runway to land their helicopters, but the Russian APCs patrolling the airfield prevented this from happening.

"General Wesley Clark was furious. I couldn't fault him for that, but I knew that, fortunately, we weren't on the brink of World War III," US President Bill Clinton recalled later.

General Sir Michael Jackson, who was in command of NATO's Kosovo Force, stepped forward and ordered British tank crews to move out towards the airfield. At that moment, the Russians’ interpreter, senior lieutenant Nikolay Yatsikov, told the British that if they were to proceed the consequences would be dire. At this time a single Russian soldier, whose last name was Ivanov, stepped out and moved defiantly toward the tank, clutching a grenade launcher and ready for combat.

THIRD PART
The British would have had no trouble defeating the 200-strong Russian battalion. However, that could have ignited a war between two nuclear powers. And that is exactly what Jackson said to his superiors: "I'm not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III."

The British personnel surrounded the airfield. Russian paratroopers spent the next few days encircled. Meanwhile, the politicians continued to negotiate.

The result of these negotiations was, by and large, a disappointment. Russia was able to send a contingent of its troops to Kosovo, but it didn't get its own separate sector. Effectively, that meant that Kosovo's Serbs would never receive adequate protection from the Albanian fighters' campaign of terror. Russia was a weak nation at the time, and it couldn't make up for its lack of political, economic, and military power with a few bold moves.

Over the next few years, a Russian peacekeeping force (a total of 650 men) served in Kosovo. The troops withdrew from the province in 2003.

Throughout these years, ethnic cleansing took place in Kosovo, with NATO's silent approval. The majority of the Serbs left the province; many were killed. Serbian monuments and historic sites were wiped off the face of the earth.

Ultimately, Russia's seizure of Pristina airport did not result in any major political change. Moscow ultimately failed to even secure a sector of its own.

For modern Russia, however, this episode retains a somewhat symbolic significance. For the first time since the demise of the Soviet Union, Russia had involved itself in foreign matters and pursued a policy of its own – one that ran counter to the Western narrative. Meanwhile, NATO’s operation in Kosovo had a sobering effect for those in Russia that supported West.

In Russia, the Serbs were mostly seen as a kindred and ultimately friendly people, a sentiment that remains today. Because of this, Russians resented the demonstrative horror the Serbs were subjected to by the US-led forces.

More importantly, the EU and American stance on the Kosovo conflict was morally ambiguous at best. In this complicated theater, where each side had some legitimate claims and neither was innocent, the West sympathized with one and condemned the other. It bombed Belgrade under the pretext of protecting the Albanians from ethnic cleansing but did nothing to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Serbs in the same territory after its own triumphant operation.

This inconsistency made many Russians question Western moral values and view them as nothing more than doublespeak and hypocrisy.

Moscow was also grappling with a domestic problem – Islamic terrorism in the Northern Caucasus. Just a few months later, the invasion of the Russian Republic of Dagestan by the fighters of Shamil Basayev and the Saudi commander Khattab ignited a conflict known as the Second Chechen Campaign.

Russians couldn’t help but imagine being in the Serbs’ shoes. The moral posturing by the Europeans and Americans about the war in Chechnya, against the backdrop of NATO’s bombing of Belgrade, invoked a sense of spiteful irony.

While the operation in Pristina isn’t remembered by Russians as an example of a brilliant political victory, it is still perceived as the first time that Russia, in its post-Soviet history, was able to say a decisive ‘no’ to the West, regardless of the final outcome.

Slava EUkraini: Zelensky drives the EU anti-establishment to massive gains

The right wing’s gains in the European elections are a logical pushback against leaders that care more for Kiev than their own citizens

Hey, are we sure that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky isn’t a Kremlin stooge? :ROFL:
Because he just managed to accomplish exactly what European elites are constantly accusing the Kremlin of trying to do – getting the so-called far-right elected in a bloc-wide surge in the European parliament. Although it was really just a vote for anti-establishment populists.

Arguably, nowhere were the results of Zelensky’s efforts more obvious than in France, where Macron’s establishment party took the biggest electoral beating, against Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, whose candidate list was headed up for the EU vote by Jordan Bardella. The 28-year-old grew up in the Parisian suburb of Saint Denis, which now stands as a shining example of how establishment policies can transform a real life place into something out of a ‘Grand Theft Auto’ video game. Thanks to Zelensky, no one in charge cares though, because Saint Denis isn’t in Ukraine.

It didn’t take French President Emmanuel Macron walking around the Élysée Palace in a Zelensky-style hoodie to telegraph his priorities, though he did it anyway for anyone who may not be well-versed in jackhammer-grade subtlety. And now for the ‘pièce de résistance’ – or final death-blow, depending on how you look at it. On the last day in the French parliament before the European parliamentary elections, Macron invited Zelensky to monopolize the floor of the National Assembly. So forget any debate about all the damage that Macron’s policies have done to France. Zelensky was there to speak, totally unopposed, about his own needs and those of Ukraine, which isn’t actually in the EU, even though Europeans are paying for it like it is.

Ukraine To Keep Many F-16 Jets Abroad On Fears Russia Will Immediately Destroy TUESDAY, JUN 11, 2024

https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/zf16.jpg?itok=nJT1WZAd

Ukraine's armed forces are expected to begin receiving the first of dozens of F-16 fighter jets within weeks. In total over 60 are expected to arrive from Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands - at a moment Ukrainian pilots are still undergoing lengthy and highly technical training programs in the Europe and the United States.

But decision-makers in Brussels and Kiev already fear that they will make for highly attractive targets for Russian long-range and aerial strikes before they ever see aerial combat in Ukraine's skies.

"Ukraine may keep some of the F-16 fighter jets it’s set to receive from its Western allies at foreign bases to protect them from Russian strikes," a senior Ukrainian military officer was cited in the Associated Press as saying Monday. Likely the jets will be "hidden" hosted at bases in Romania and Poland, which are both NATO countries.

Serhii Holubtsov, who is head of aviation for Ukraine's air force, confirmed that "a certain number of aircraft will be stored at secure air bases outside of Ukraine so that they are not targeted here."

He described that warplanes kept outside of Ukraine can be used for further training of Ukrainian pilots, and can be held in reserve in instances where jets actively engaged in combat have to be grounded for repairs.

"This way, we can always have a certain number of aircraft in the operational fleet that corresponds to the number of pilots we have," he said. "If there are more pilots, there will be more aircraft in Ukraine."

But we might ask: what's the point? Zelensky has since the start of the war been begging the West to "close the skies". The F-16s were pledged toward that end (as a 'compromise' short of the West directly setting up a NFZ), but they haven't even arrived yet and Kiev is essentially going to hide many of the expensive aircraft from the start.

It was once thought that US-made fighter jets could be used for Ukrainian forces to go on the offensive against entrenched Russian front lines, but that doesn't look like it's going to the case.

Stationing the transferred warplanes at airfields outside Ukraine also increases the chances of Moscow stumbling into a direct shooting war with NATO. Kremlin officials, including President Putin himself, have long warned Russia will strike airbases from which attacks against Russian forces are launched, even if outside of Ukraine's borders.

Last year Putin began warning of Western aircraft, "If they are stationed at air bases outside the Ukrainian borders and used in combat, we will have to see how and where to strike the assets used in combat against us."

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: "Arms supplies to Kyiv will become mandatory for NATO countries, they will be coordinated by command structures under the leadership of General Cavoli."

Do the EU countries understand that Washington is dragging them into a direct clash with Russia under the NATO flag? The hysterical pumping of the Western public with the thesis of the alleged "imminent aggression of Russia against Western countries" means only one thing - the Biden administration needs even more bloodletting on the European continent to keep both its own power and the American economy from collapsing.

The G7 countries have agreed to allocate $50 billion to Ukraine by the end of 2024 using Russia’s frozen assets, AFP reported, citing the Elysee Palace.

According to a source, the G7 group already reached an agreement on the issue, and now experts need to make sure that it complies with the law and public financial regulations.

"G7 leaders have reached an agreement on the allocation of 50 billion dollars for Ukraine through the use of frozen Russian assets", - said in the office of the French president.

It is noted that the payout will occur "before the end of 2024".

Many analysts have noted that any measures related to the use of frozen Russian assets or derivatives thereof to provide financing for Ukraine could threaten significant reputational risks for the European financial market.

Earlier, many media outlets reported on the efforts of a number of non-European countries to persuade the European leadership to abandon plans to confiscate Russian assets.

The Milei government is reportedly negotiating with Paris to exchange the planes for other military equipment. The idea is that France will repair them and hand them over to Ukraine.

Argentina bought the Super Etendard in 2018, but has never been able to use them. The fighters are in a state of disrepair due to a lack of parts, which the country cannot buy because of the British arms embargo.

We are talking about goods under American brands, even if they are not produced in the country. First of all - in China. Certain Hong Kong companies will also fall under the restrictions.

Such plans were confirmed by the White House coordinator John Kirby without further details.

I don't think it "refutes" the idea; but instead demonstrates that there were several agendas for Ukraine and Russia at different levels within the hierarchy of power.

LG is not at the top of the hierarchy but is clearly under-orders - a kind of middle manager. So what he says (if honest! - a big "if") is just what his bosses have told him - or told him to say.

Can you be more concrete with this?

How do we know for sure that Mr. Graham is being "ordered" by something unexplained?

I believe the top level (demonic) agenda for this was was primarily destruction of the West, secondarily destruction of as many other nations and people as possible - not for strategic gain, but destruction from sheer hatred; but the lower levels are given quasi plausible rationales for this and various up-front incentives (money, power, fame, sex - the usual stuff), so they can pretend to themselves (or perhaps sincerely believe!) that there is some long term plan for "the greater good" behind it all.

This is what comes to mind.

The reason I have described the London School of Economics as the science of Genocide is to say that it has supported a Soft Kill regime in the western direction and a Hard Kill regime towards the east. Meaning that British infiltrations via things like the Bolsheviks and Maoists were based in the simplicity of putting a bullet in someone's head. Places like the United States have been subjected to Fabianism, leading to a slow deterioration in all things including health, softly killed by whatever you eat.

I would tend to agree that under that system--the umbrella based in the Bank of England--that destructiveness is hurled down upon humanity along multiple paths. One can probably provide the case that some Uber English envisaged vampirizing the United States for their own profit. However, I am having difficulty seeing how such a class benefits from the current situation in Ukraine.

One could perhaps say Mr. Graham is "controlled" in the sense that the ideas in his knowledge base are pre-conditioned and limited. At most, he has probably made a lifetime of anything I might have to say as the lies and propaganda of inferior, savage races. There's no plausible grounds for him to act any different, because his mind simply doesn't have those contents.

I would ask, if there is a superior influence on him, who is it?

If the loss of Ukraine is not a failure, whose purpose does it serve?

There is something in the situation or in our interlocutor that arouses our suspicion. The intensity of the «unspoken» is all the more marked when one touches on the left side."

US news outlets and agencies triggered a panic chain reaction after a small group of Russian military vessels arrived at Cuban ports, despite both Russian and Cuban military officials stating that the stop-over was not a threat to anyone.
In particular, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the trip’s objective was to show the flag "and ensure a naval presence in an operationally important area of the far ocean zone."

Cuba’s Defense Ministry added that none of the Russian ships were carrying nuclear weapons.

New US sanctions backfire: dollar dips as yuan dominates Moscow Exchange

"The share of the yuan, which now amounts to more than 50 percent on the Moscow Exchange, will probably be the main settlement currency for many transactions," Yaroslav Kabakov, director of strategy at the investment company Finam, tells Sputnik, commenting on the US sanctions against Russia's Moscow Exchange (MOEX), National Clearing Centre and National Settlement Depository (NSD).

After the US and its allies froze Russia's sovereign assets and cut the nation off from SWIFT, the yuan has replaced the US dollar as the most traded currency in Russia in 2023. In May, the share of the yuan in Russia's foreign exchange market reached a new high of 53.6 percent; it also increased by 1.3 percentage points in the over-the-counter market, up to 39.2 percent, compared to the previous month, according to the Russian Central Bank.

The US Treasury's announcement of restrictions against third countries trading with Russia is likely to bolster the de-dollarization trend. US secondary sanctions "created an incentive to diversify away from the US dollar to avoid these sanctions," Antoine Berthou, an economist at the Banque de France, warned in his September 2023 study.

Despite Western headlines claiming that the Russian currency "swings to opaque trading territory", the ruble has not been weakened by the US measures and the Russian market participants didn't panic, according to Sputnik's pundits.

"It was clear that [Russian] regulators were ready for this kind of solution. The Central Bank warned Russian banks in advance about how it would act. By and large, there is no surprise here," Nikita Maslennikov, an economist, the head of finance and economics at the Institute of Contemporary Development and a leading expert at the Center for Political Technologies, tells Sputnik.

Here is part of an article by Lucas Leiroz (https://southfront.press/us-and-uk-rehabilitate-nazism-and-arm-fascist-militias-in-ukraine/) reminding us we may be to task to De-Nazify the west:

Nazism is no longer a mere tool of war for the West against Russia, but is on its way to becoming the real ideology of many Western states. This is a direct consequence of the infamous policy of asylum for Nazi criminals in the post-WWII times, when the US and Europe granted amnesty to German generals, politicians and scientists in exchange for military and scientific secrets. Many Nazis who were exiled to Western countries ended up reaching high positions in the state administration, which resulted in the progressive Nazification of the Western political mentality.

For a long time, this Nazification remained hidden due to the global memory of Germany’s crimes in the WWII. However, Ukraine has been the excuse for NATO’s Nazi tendencies to become public. The normalization and rehabilitation of Nazism is not a simple side effect of the current conflict, but a real project on the part of the West to implement Russophobia on a global level. Only a Russian victory in the special military operation and the reconfiguration of the geopolitical order can stop the advance of Nazism.

Russian troops never intended to capture Kiev – Putin 14 Jun, 2024

Moscow’s forces approached the Ukrainian capital only to persuade Vladimir Zelensky’s government to engage in talks, the president has said

Russian forces did not plan to storm Kiev when they advanced towards the Ukrainian capital in the first weeks of the conflict between the two countries, President Vladimir Putin has said.

During a meeting with his Russia’s top diplomats on Friday, Putin noted continued “speculation” in Ukraine and the West about the intentions of Russian units when they reached the outskirts of Kiev in late February 2022.

“But there was no political decision to storm the city of 3 million, no matter what anyone says due to their lack of thought,” Putin insisted.

According to the president, the Russian advance towards Kiev was “nothing more than an operation to persuade the Ukrainian regime to [make] peace.”

“The troops were there to motivate the Ukrainian side to engage in negotiations, to try to find an acceptable solution and this way end the war unleashed by Kiev against Donbass back in 2014,” he said.

The conflict between the Ukrainian government and the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, which erupted after the Western-backed coup in Kiev in February 2014, “posed a threat to the security of our country, to the security of Russia,” Putin stressed.

The move by Russia did result in talks that led to agreements that “in principle, suited both Moscow and Kiev,” he said, referring to the negotiations that took place between the two sides in the Turkish city of Istanbul in late March 2022.

“On March 29, 2022, we withdrew our troops from Kiev because we were assured that it was essential to create conditions for the conclusion of the political negotiating process,” the president recalled. “Our Western colleagues” insisted back then that the Ukrainian authorities “cannot sign such agreements… with a gun to their head,” he added.

However, Kiev and its Western backers have been claiming that the Russian withdrawal from the area of the Ukrainian capital was not a goodwill gesture by Moscow, but the result of military successes achieved by Kiev’s troops. Already in April 2022, US President Joe Biden said “the ‘Battle of Kiev’ was a historic victory... won by the Ukrainian people with unprecedented assistance by the US and our allies.”

The next day after the Russian troops left, the Ukrainian leadership seized their participation in the negotiating process, staging “a provocation” in Bucha, Putin said.

On April 1, 2022, the Zelensky government blamed the Russian military for massacring civilians in the town of Bucha near Kiev. Moscow denied those accusations, saying that the purported evidence of the crimes was fabricated.

"I think it’s clear now that this dirty provocation was needed to somehow explain the rejection of the results that had been achieved during the negotiations. The path to peace was again turned down,” the Russian leader stressed.

As a lay person these conditions seem very reasonable, but you can bet your bottom dollar they won't be to the other side. These conditions are appearing in mainstream news reports, with a rather negative slant. Here's one from The Guardian posted a short while ago:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/14/vladimir-putin-issues-fresh-demands-to-ukraine-to-end-war
Vladimir Putin issues fresh demands to Ukraine to end war

Russian president’s new ultimatum comes as foreign envoys meet in Switzerland to discuss western-led peace plan.

Vladimir Putin has demanded that Kyiv cede more land, withdraw troops deeper inside its own country, and drop its Nato bid in order for him to end his war in Ukraine.

Putin’s fresh ceasefire demands were issued as envoys from more than 90 countries, including Ukraine, convene in Switzerland this weekend to discuss a western-led peace plan. Russia is not invited to the conference and the president’s remarks on Friday were likely to have been timed as a spoiler to that summit.

Speaking to diplomats at the Russian foreign ministry, Putin publicly updated his terms for ending the war in Ukraine for the first time since he launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, when he demanded regime change in Kyiv and the country’s “demilitarisation”.

The US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, said Putin was in “no position” to make demands on Ukraine and could end the war he had started “today if he chose to do that.” The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said the offer could not be trusted and Putin would not stop his military offensive even if his ceasefire demands were met.

The new terms appear to be a nonstarter, as Putin staked out a maximalist position that included claims on land that Russia has “annexed” without holding under its military control. Putin demanded that Ukrainian troops leave the entire regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia and that they be declared Russian territory by international agreement, calling the issue “closed” for Russia.

“As soon as Kyiv says it is ready to make this decision, begins the actual pull-out of forces from those regions and formally declares the abandonment of its plans to join Nato, we will instantly, that very second, order a ceasefire and begin negotiations,” Putin said.

Putin also demanded that the west drop all financial sanctions against Russia as a precondition to a ceasefire. The US this week expanded sanctions on the Russian banking sector, currency trading on the largest Russian stock exchange, as well as chips and other technology. US Treasury officials said they were targeting the Russian financial infrastructure and access to third markets as Russia completed its “transition to a full war economy”.

The G7, which comprises the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, also agreed this week to use Russian sovereign assets frozen in the west as collateral for a $5bn loan package that would help keep Ukraine’s economy afloat in what had become a war of attrition against its Russian neighbour.

Putin on Friday decried the agreement as an attempt to provide “some kind of legal basis” for “theft”.

“Despite all the trickery, this theft will certainly remain a theft,” he told diplomats during the speech. “And it will not go unpunished.”

Ukraine and western countries were highly unlikely to agree to Putin’s terms. Kyiv has demanded that Russian troops leave its territory and that it return control over the 1991 borders, including the Crimean peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014. Ukrainian officials quickly dismissed Putin’s remarks as a “complete sham”.

“Of course, there is no novelty in this, no real peace proposals and no desire to end the war,” wrote Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidential administration. “But there is a desire not to pay for this war and to continue it in new formats. It’s all a complete sham. Therefore – once again – get rid of illusions and stop taking seriously the “[Russian proposals]” that are offensive to common sense.”

Podolyak interpreted Putin’s proposals as telling Ukraine to “give us your territories”, “give up your sovereignty and subjectivity”, and to “leave yourselves unprotected” by committing to a non-aligned status outside of Nato.

Russia was ready to withdraw from southern Ukraine – Putin 14 Jun, 2024

Kiev could have retained sovereignty over two of its former regions if it had agreed to guarantee Moscow free land access to Crimea, the president has revealed

Russia was open to withdrawing its troops from Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions early in the Ukraine conflict on the condition that Kiev agreed to an uninterrupted land connection between Crimea and the mainland, President Vladimir Putin stated on Friday.

Speaking at a meeting with the country’s senior diplomats, Putin revealed that in early March 2022, as Russian troops were advancing into southern Ukraine, a senior foreign politician representing the West proposed mediating the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. While Putin did not name the leader, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev identified him as then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

According to the Russian president, Bennett asked officials in Moscow at the time why Russian troops were operating in Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, given that their stated goal was to help Donbass.

Bennett was told the decision to send Russian troops to those regions was made based on the plans drawn by the General Staff, which sought to bypass heavily fortified Ukrainian positions in Donbass, Putin explained. According to the Russian leader, when Bennett asked whether Russian troops would remain in Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions after the end of the conflict, Putin said he was open to the idea of pulling them back to their bases.

Putin noted that to secure the guarantee, Moscow and Kiev would have to sign a legally binding “servitude” agreement, a property law that ties rights and obligations to the ownership or possession of land.

The deal would then have to be finalized with the involvement of the UN Security Council, as well as local citizens and the Russian public.

However, when Bennett traveled to Kiev to present Moscow’s proposal to the Ukrainian government, it was rejected, and the Israeli leader was branded a Russian sympathizer, Putin noted.

Now, this proposal is off the table, given that Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, along with the two Donbass republics, voted to join Russia in public referendums in the fall of 2022, Putin stated. “There can be no talk of violating our national unity... This question is closed forever and beyond any debate.”

At the same time, Putin signaled that Moscow was ready for talks with Ukraine on the condition that Kiev fully withdraws its troops from Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions and abandons plans to join NATO. But the proposal has been rejected by Kiev, which insists upon returning the country to its 1991 borders.

US-Ukraine deal ‘less important than some press releases – Moscow 14 Jun, 2024

The 10-year security agreement was touted as solidifying American commitments, but may be scrapped at whim by Donald Trump

The document signed by US President Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky on Thursday is largely irrelevant and meant to deceive the Ukrainian people, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

The security deal was sealed on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy and declares Washington’s commitments to further Kiev’s goal of joining NATO by supporting and developing its military for years to come. Ukraine has similar arrangements with multiple other Western nations.

The terms do not include specific targets for military assistance or a pledge by the US to defend Ukraine, according to Western media reports. However, Washington has vowed to hold high-level consultations with Kiev within 24 hours if Ukraine is attacked in the future.

Zakharova on Friday called the deal a “scrap of paper” and claimed “some press releases are more important” than the document. She cited the lack of specifics and judicially binding power when explaining her dismissive attitude.

No Patriots for Ukraine – Poland 13 Jun, 2024

Washington can find an air defense system elsewhere to hand over to Kiev, the Polish deputy defense minister has said

US-made Patriot air defense systems stationed in Poland are not going anywhere, the European nation’s deputy defense minister Cezary Tomczyk said on Thursday. The official was commenting on a New York Times article suggesting Washington could take one and hand it over to Ukraine.

“Poland did not agree to transfer the Polish battery,” Tomczyk said on X (formerly Twitter). “Polish Patriots defend the Polish sky and this will not change.”

The NYT piece published on Tuesday said, citing some “senior administration and military officials,” that President Joe Biden had approved a deployment of another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. The decision was reportedly taken last week. The system – the second one to be supposedly donated by the US to Kiev – was to come from Poland, the media outlet claimed, adding that Washington was going to take one used to protect an American rotational force stationed in the Central European nation.

Speaking about America’s potential need to replace the system it was going to hand over to Kiev, Tomczyk said that Washington could find another Patriot somewhere else and not rely on the Polish arsenal. US officials have not commented on the NYT report, which claimed that a new air defense system could arrive on Ukrainian soil in the coming days.

According to Polish media, the system the US was supposedly planning to give Kiev was already protecting a logistics hub in the Polish city of Rzeszow, which is used by Ukraine’s Western backers to supply Kiev with military aid.

Ukraine wants Russian athlete banned from Olympics for mourning dead father :candle:

Sports officials in Kiev claim wrestling champion Dinara Kudaeva’s dad died in the conflict in their country

Ukrainian sports officials have requested that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) bar three Russian athletes from participating in the upcoming Summer Games, over what they called “open support for the military action” against their nation.

The reason for the request was a social media post by Russian wrestling champion Dinara Kudaeva, in which she mourned her recently deceased father. According to Kiev, the man’s death occurred in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The other two wrestlers – Natalia Malysheva and Olga Khoroshavtseva – responded to Kudaeva’s post with a like emoji, in a bid to console their fellow athlete.

”These athletes … do not meet the sufficient criteria for receiving the status of individual neutral athlete (AIN),” read a statement signed by the president of the Ukrainian Olympic Committee, Vadim Guttsait, acting Sports Minister Matvey Bedny and the national wrestling association head, Yury Kopytko. The three officials then claimed that the three Russian wrestlers in question “support the [Ukraine] war” and Moscow’s policies.

The written address, published on the Ukrainian Olympic Committee’s website, goes on to claim that Kudaeva called for her father to be honored as a “hero.” According to Ukrainian officials, who referred to him as an “occupier,” the man had died in the ongoing conflict in their country.

The Russian athlete has reportedly since deleted her post and closed her social media page to the public. A video published by a Ukrainian media outlet on YouTube supposedly shows the social media posts published by Kudaeva when they were still accessible. There, the athlete can be seen wishing her father an ascent to Heaven after his death and saying “father, I’ve died with you.” In another post the athlete wrote: “Father, you are my hero.”

The video published by Ukrainian media also does not show Kudaeva calling on anyone to honor her father as a “hero.” Instead, the woman, who is a Muslim, called on fellow Russian Muslims to pray for her father.

Khoroshavtseva can be seen leaving a crying emoji under one of Kudaeva’s posts. The IOC has so far not reacted to Ukraine’s request. The head of the Russian Wrestling Federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, slammed the country’s officials for “stepping over universally accepted moral principles” with such actions.

“What happened to Kudaeva is such a personal issue that it should not even be discussed. The girl has lost her father,” he told RIA Novosti. “And [the Ukrainians] are exploiting it,” the Russian official said, adding that “compassion” has become a crime for Kiev nowadays.

Spain Not Planning to Donate Patriot System Deployed in Turkiye to Ukraine 12 hours ago

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Spain will not supply Ukraine with its Patriot air defense system deployed in Turkiye, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Thursday.

"Despite this being a topic of discussion with the Ukrainian authorities, the Spanish government believes the Patriot missile system should remain in Turkey," Sanchez said at a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Madrid.
The meeting of the two leaders, which was mainly focused on the economy, resulted in the signing of more than 10 bilateral agreements on science, energy, professional training and trade.

Spain has four Patriot batteries, one of which is deployed in Turkiye as part of a NATO mission to protect the country's airspace from possible missiles that could be launched from Syria.
On May 27, Spain became the 10th country to sign a security agreement with Ukraine regulating financial, military and humanitarian aid for the next 10 years. Under the agreement, Spain will give Ukraine a military aid package worth abour 1 billion euros ($5.4 billion) in 2024 and 5 billion euros more during the 2024-2027 period.

Speaking at a meeting with the top officials of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow on Friday, President Vladimir Putin called to initiate a broad discussion on a new system of bilateral and multilateral collective security guarantees in Eurasia.

It’s clear that Eurasia is the natural space for Russia to exist and it is in Moscow’s interests "to have a pacified, harmonious and collaborative set of relations" in the continent, Paolo Raffone, a strategic analyst and director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels, told Sputnik.
Developing a new security architecture in Eurasia should become the main priority for Europeans, Raffone said, expressing regret that European leaders are "so mean and insignificant intellectually and in terms of power, that they are paralyzed by their self-fulfilling narratives."

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s "words and peace proposals are undoubtedly a kind gesture that Europeans should grasp to abandon the zealous standing and try to regain a ‘space’ in world affairs," the analyst stressed.

He recalled that Putin’s security vision on Eurasia was outlined in the Russian president’s speech at the Munich conference in 2007.

"Today, seventeen years later, those thoughts resound not as a prophecy but as an urgent need to deal with reality," according to Raffone.

"On the table remain a broken military alliance (NATO), the clear political defeat of European bellicose governments and political parties, and, more importantly, the absence of vision and a new security architecture for Europe and Eurasia," the CIPI Foundation director said.

Russia believes that this "dangerous situation" should be urgently resolved given "the reality of an irreversible multi-nodal and multi-centric world that requires harmonization in bilateral and collective actions," Raffone concluded.

The Russian president stressed that his proposal pertains to the formation of a framework for equal and indivisible security pertaining to Eurasia.
Putin underlined the need to promote the idea of a Eurasian security system by intensifying dialogue within the Union State, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Arming Ukrainian neo-Nazis a sign of US desperation - ex-Pentagon official

Washington's decision to greenlight the use of US-supplied weapons by Kiev's notorious Azov Brigade is a desperate move that only reinforces Russia's claim that it is fighting neo-Nazism in Ukraine, Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst at the US Department of Defense, has told RT.

On Monday, the US State Department scrapped a ban on deliveries of arms to the Azov Brigade, which had been imposed by Congress in 2018 over the unit's ties to neo-Nazism. According to the agency, a recent review has found "no evidence" of the military formation being in violation of the Leahy Law, which prohibits Washington from aiding foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity.

"Clearly, the Azov group didn't go from sinners to saints overnight," Maloof said in an interview on Tuesday. "There still is a list of atrocities that they had committed, human rights abuses... you still see them marching around as a group with their symbols, with their camaraderie and their discipline in support of fascism."

This change of stance on the Azov Brigade by Washington means "you no longer can really believe anything the State Department says, let alone the intelligence community," he stressed.

According to the former Pentagon official, the US move is "a sign of desperation" and a belated attempt to "bolster morale" among Ukrainians amid Russian gains on the front line this year.

"I question the rationale of wanting to continue to support a Nazi outfit like this because the war is basically lost already. To support the Azov just adds fuel to the fire... and reinforces and bolsters Russia's point of view that this is about fighting Nazism in Ukraine," he said.

Maloof noted that the Azov fighters "haven't really performed" in combat; they were defeated by Russian forces in the battle for Mariupol early in the conflict. It is unlikely that they would do any better if they are armed with American weapons, he believes.

The lifting of the ban by the US is "an effort to just prick the Russians because of their adamant opposition to Nazism," which wouldn't lead to any changes on the battlefield, the former Pentagon official stressed.

Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Moscow's attitude towards Washington giving weapons to "ultra-nationalist armed units" like the Azov Brigade was "extremely negative." The US wants to "suppress" Russia so much that it is ready to go as far as to begin "flirting with neo-Nazis," he said.

Moscow has condemned Washington's decision to allow arms supplies to Ukraine's notorious Azov Brigade.

Washington will stop at nothing, including using neo-Nazis, to harm Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, following a US decision to lift a ban on arms deliveries to Ukraine's Azov Brigade.

The unit has infamously welcomed into its ranks people who espouse ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi ideologies and has been described by the Western press as a magnet for such individuals from around the world.

On Monday, the US State Department cleared the brigade to receive US military support, saying it had found no evidence of human rights abuses by the group.
“This sudden change of position by Washington proves that [US officials] would go to any lengths in their efforts to suppress Russia, using the Ukrainian people as a tool. They are even okay with flirting with neo-Nazis,” Peskov told journalists at a press briefing.
Azov was founded in 2014 as a volunteer battalion of Ukrainian nationalists by white supremacist Andrei Biletskij. People who came to power in Kiev after the Western-backed armed coup that year used Azov fighters in an attempt to violently suppress an uprising in the east against the new government. The battalion was incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine the following year.

In 2018, the US Congress banned the supply of weapons to the Azov Brigade (https://rumble.com/search/all?q=Azov%20Brigade) due to its ties to neo-Nazi ideology.

Since the outbreak of the conflict with Russia, Ukrainian officials and Azov members have been working to rebrand the unit. The insignia, which originally paid tribute to Nazi symbols, was replaced with a less offensive logo and messaging was changed to claim that the unit had distanced itself from its roots.

Some former and serving U.S. officials, such as ex-ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, assisted Azov in his efforts by organizing events for them on U.S. soil.

However, Moscow insists that the nature of the unit has not changed significantly. It remains an “ultranationalist armed group,” Peskov said.
