Article:
Sergey Karaganov: By using its nuclear weapons, Russia could save humanity from a global catastrophe
farrell has done good work in parts in the past but I believe he is leading people astray, he has a certain Semitic bias that just rubs me up the wrong way and is counter to the pursuit of truth, he relies heavily on the work of others which in and of itself isn’t bad but, he tried to sabotage Judy woods 9/11 book whilst acting as editor. He also is somewhat of a plagiarist. But don’t take my word for it.

🚨💥 FLASH ⚡ #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦
#Russia 🇷🇺 While the Kyiv terrorist regime's media collaborators and their ukrainophiles fantasize about an alleged Russian hypersonic missile attack #Kinjal above #Kyiv during the South African President's visit today in Kiev, since yesterday the Head of the Close Guard ( #WallyRude ) and his protection team of the South African President are sequestered in their plane having taken off from #Pologne to land today in Kiev (passports confiscated).
🇵🇱🇿🇦 Poland blocked the plane with the personal protection of the South African president, flying to Kyiv
The head of the security service, Major General Wally Rude, accused Poland of racism. He said that the actions of the Poles threaten the life of the South African president and that the border guards, in their own defense, speak of problems with the documents of the South African delegation and questions about the weapons on board.
📝 “We have been sitting here since yesterday, when we arrived. We can't get out of here to go with President Ramaphosa, including guarding him. The security service is in limbo, the Polish authorities do not communicate with them, they sabotage the protection of Ramaphosa.
They tried to get weapons in their luggage, but were afraid to confiscate them. We have therefore been on this forum for 22 hours. Our passports have been confiscated and we have to fly to Russia to meet Putin tomorrow,” Rude said.
PS: So far, only S300 air defense missiles of the NATO-Ukrainian terrorist regime have exploded in a vacuum over Kiev.

And a serious analysis from The Moon of Alabama: (published yesterday)
On The Failure Of The Ukrainian Counterattack
On June 4/5 the Ukrainian military launched its long announced counteroffensive in southeast Ukraine. Ten days later there is no significant progress.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/16i/ukrmap20230614-s.jpg
bigger
This is not the outcome the war propagandists expected:[General Petreus] spoke about the situation in Ukraine to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. On the counteroffensive, he said:Back in reality the lead elements of the Ukrainian attack got slaughtered. They 'culminated', i.e. lost their ability for further attacks, in less than a day:
I think that this counteroffensive is going to be very impressive.
My sense is that they will achieve combined arms effects in other words, they will successfully carry out combined arms operations where you have engineers that are breaching the obstacles and diffusing the minefields and so forth; armour following right on through protected by infantry against anti-tank missiles; air defence keeping the Russians aircraft off them; electronic warfare jamming their radio networks; logistics right up behind them; artillery and mortars right out in front of them.
And most important of all … is that as the lead elements inevitably culminate after 72-96 hours, physically that’s about as far as you can go, and they’ll have taken losses … you have follow-on units that will push right on through and capitalise on the progress and maintain the momentum and I think that can get the entire Russian defence in that area moving, then I think you have other opportunities that will open up on the flanks as well.
The men of Ukraine’s 37th Brigade were freshly trained and armed with Western-supplied weapons, tasked with an initial push through Russian-occupied territory in the early days of a long-awaited counteroffensive. They would pay a heavy price.Whoever trained those units made grave mistakes:
Within 20 minutes of their June 5 advance south of Velyka Novosilka, in the southeast Donetsk region, mortars exploded all around them, soldiers said. A 30-year-old soldier known as Lumberjack saw two of the men in his vehicle bleeding heavily; one lost an arm as he cried out for his family. Lumberjack crawled into a crater, but the shrapnel from a mortar went through the soil and pierced his shoulder.
“We were left there in the field, without tanks or heavy armor,” said Lumberjack, who spoke to The Washington Post on the condition that he be identified only by his call sign because he was not authorized to discuss the battle. “We were shelled with mortars from three sides. We couldn’t do anything.”
There were fewer than 50 men in the unit, he said, and 30 did not return — they were killed, wounded or captured by the enemy. Five of the unit’s armored vehicles were destroyed within the first hour.
For the first hour and a half of the 37th’s assault near Velyka Novosilka, the Russians bombarded the unit with nonstop shelling that penetrated their AMX-10 RC armored vehicles, according to Grey, another soldier in the battalion who spoke on the condition that he be identified only by his call sign. The armored vehicles, sometimes called “light tanks,” were not heavy enough to protect the soldiers, Grey said, and had to be positioned behind them instead of in front.The AMX-10 isn't a tank and can not be used as one. It is a wheeled light reconnaissance vehicle built by France 50 years ago to dominate insurgents in its former African colonies. One of its main features is to have a good speed when in reverse gear. This to bail out as soon as serious counter forces are detected.
The Ukrainian counterattack is now stuck in the Russian defense security zone, miles away from the real defense lines. This was predictable.
As the U.S. Field Manual 100-2-1 described the Soviet army in defense (pg 93ff):When the defense is established before contact with the enemy, the Soviets establish a security echelon up to 15 kilometers forward of the main defensive area. The elements which make up the security echelon come from the division's second echelon. A security force of up to battalion size may be deployed in front of each first echelon regiment. A detailed and coordinated fire plan is developed. Weapons are positioned so that the maximum amount of fire can be brought to bear directly in front of the [Forward Edge of the Battle Area]. Enemy penetrations are blunted by shifting artillery fire and by conducting counterattacks.https://www.moonofalabama.org/16i/fm100-s.jpg
bigger
The Ukrainian army used at least four brigades for its attack. At least two of those were from the 12 brigade reserve that had been built up for the counterattack. With losses of some 30% those involved were seriously mauled for little to no gain:The Russians are trying to inflict as many casualties and destroy as many vehicles as possible in a battle zone ahead of the main defensive line, depleting Ukrainian forces before they reach it. In effect, it turns the area in front of the main defense line into a kill zone.The Ukrainian forces were obviously not trained for this. They also attacked in too many places. The map at the top shows attack arrows in 7 places and four main directions. One or two attack directions, with more concentrated forces, might have created better results.
...
If the Russian strategy proves effective, Ukraine could lose too many of its newly trained troops — which number in the tens of thousands — and too many tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to breach the main line. Even if they get that far, the forces might be too weakened to stream south and help accomplish a major objective: severing the so-called land bridge that connects Russia to the occupied Crimean Peninsula. This would be done by reaching the Sea of Azov, about 60 miles away.
The Russian President Putin recently described the Ukrainian casualties:I will not give the number of personnel losses. I will let the Defence Ministry do it after it runs the numbers, but the structure of losses is unfavourable for them as well. What I mean to say is that of all personnel losses – and they are approaching a number that can be called catastrophic – the structure of these losses is unfavourable for them. Because as we know, losses can be sanitary or irretrievable. Usually, I am afraid I may be off a little, but irretrievable losses are around 25 percent, maximum 30 percent while their losses are almost 50/50. This is my first point. Second, if we look at irretrievable losses, clearly, the defending side suffers fewer losses, but this ratio of 1 to 10 is in our favour. Our losses are one-tenth of the losses of the Ukrainian forces.Since the start of the counterattack the Russian daily report has listed a total of some 10,500 Ukrainian casualties.
A second large attempt to cross the Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA) with the remaining Ukrainian forces is expected, but is unlikely to have a better outcome. The long promoted Ukrainian counterattack is likely to end with high Ukrainian losses and no gains.
This then will soon become a huge political problem:As he heads into next year’s reelection campaign, Biden needs a major battlefield victory to show that his unqualified support for Ukraine has burnished U.S. global leadership, reinvigorated a strong foreign policy with bipartisan support and demonstrated the prudent use of American military strength abroad.There is little the Biden administration can do to change the grim picture. Congress will likely prevent it from openly using the U.S. military in Ukraine. The European NATO allies have now seen what the Russian army can do to its enemies. They will not be eager to see the same done to their own troops.
...
A muddled outcome of limited gains in Ukraine would provide grist for all of those critiques and further cloud the already murky waters of NATO and European Union debate over future posture toward both Ukraine and Russia. A less than “overwhelming” success would probably also increase pressure in the West to push Kyiv to negotiate a territorial settlement that may not be to its liking.
That leaves negotiations as the only way out.
The question for Russia is when and with whom. Talks with only Ukraine, a mere U.S. proxy with no real say, would be insufficient. It is the U.S. government that must agree to a new security architecture in Europe. The Russian conditions for peace will be harsh and it will still take a lot of time, and many dead Ukrainians, until the U.S. agrees to them.

The conflict-thirsty and compliant-hungry cabal — behind Zelensky's, NATO's and the US/CIA's unwillingness to consider peace as a potential resolution to the Ukraine/Russia conflict — is rolling out 1984ish "aid" plans of the digital kind for the Ukrainian population... in which snitching becomes the normal and noble thing to do (similarly to how it was encouraged in many countries during the Covid-19 crisis):

Telegram channels are starting to report a Ukrainian debacle unlike any that the Russian commanders have seen, with huge numbers killed and no Ukrainian wounded able to be evacuated. Dozens of tanks and other vehicles are said to have been destroyed. No other details are published yet. If something on this scale has happened, then the Russian MoD will be sure to make a statement within 24 hours.

CIA: Black Market of Arms Trade. Part 1
https://www.sott.net/image/s34/680708/full/cia1.jpg
We can see that the CIA controls a significant part of the arms trade black market. Millions of dollars are being spent on financing terrorist groups and political radicals around the globe. Biden has already allocated more than $50 billion for purchasing weapons for Ukraine.
We know that the vast part of this money ends up in the pockets of corrupt CIA agents and officials bribed by them, and are also spent on other illegal activities.
In the first part of our investigation, we publish a list of the CIA agents who are involved in corrupt schemes for weapons supply to hotspots all around the world. We want their activity to become public and be thoroughly investigated. The U.S. foreign policy should emphasize peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none.

Interesting June 17, 2023 post by "Sushi" on the Moon of Alabama thread: https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/0...-2023-142.html
Copied below.
Seems obvious that facilitating the surrender of Ukrainian troops would not only be the compassionate thing to do, but most importantly would lead to a faster end to this war.
______________________
Anybody with any compassion for Slavic brethren
Dima reports (and provides video) of a UkroReich platoon ordered into the attack. As they entered the FEBA they encountered ground littered with the dead bodies of their comrades in arms. The entire platoon elected to surrender and survive.
Wagner made a fatal mistake when it announced it would take no more prisoners. RF, Putin, Valery Gerasimov, anybody with any compassion for Slavic brethren, should announce a general amnesty for UkroReich troopers who lay down their arms and accept internment in Russia for the duration of the conflict i.e. the surrendered troops will be protected by Russia and will not be exchanged or be recycled back into the conflict by the UkroReich.
I suspect such an offer / announcement will result in the complete collapse of the Potemkin army that constitutes the UAF.
The announcement should include the declaration that any officer who sends men to their certain deaths in this way for the sole purpose of achieving an "improved" Z negotiating position at the coming NATOstan conference, is guilty of murder and will be subject to prosecution at the close of the SMO.
This declaration would extend to the parquet military staffs of the NATOstan nations and to their civilian overlords up to, and including, Bidet, Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland. They are all, the entire rotten stinking cabal, equally complicit in these senseless deaths.
I don't see how any competent officer can view this unending slaughter and continue to proudly bear arms as a military professional. I suspect there will be an increased number of refusals, resignations, retirements, from within the NATOstan military. Fighting a war is one thing. Being complicit in the death of uniformed civilians for the sake of Z prestige is not war - it is murder.

🇺🇦 🇷🇺Yesterday, in the Gorlovsky direction in the Novobakhmutovka area, AFU soldiers made the right choice in favor of life and surrendered up to 20 Ukrainian servicemen of the 5th company, 2nd battalion, 28th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The day before, the 4th and 6th companies of this brigade went on the offensive in this sector.
The same from the 5th company went to reinforce those two companies, but found only the corpses of their brothers and a warm welcome from Russian Army fighters.

A summary comment on The Moon of Alabama a few hours ago:
~~~Many military correspondents are reporting a veritable massacre in the Orekhovo region. The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched maximum forces, but it was not possible to break through the defences:
▪️Voenkor Sladkov:
The enemy is going on the offensive in large numbers. The enemy infantry advanced with the support of NATO tanks and armoured vehicles. In this area, there was a heavy continuous battle. In one day, the Ukrainian assault battalion was completely destroyed. The number of APU equipment destroyed and burnt per day is incredibly high.
▪️Yuriy Podolyaka:
What happened today near Orekhovo was a massacre!
Time is running out (NATO summit on 11-12 July) and the objectives have been set (victory in the Battle of Azov).
I have received data on enemy casualties near Orekhovo (without publication rights). I think that tomorrow or the day after, there will be new videos of damaged equipment that is terrible for the Ukrainian population. There is a lot of it there - dozens of units. But the loss of personnel is much worse.
▪️Officiers Russian Spring military:
Fighters from the 291st and 70th regiments, special forces, artillerymen and mobilised guys from Moscow and the Moscow region are heroically holding the line.
The Ukrainian armed forces tried to break through the defences, but were unable to do so. Enemy losses were enormous.

Part 2: How CIA Steals Money From Americans
https://www.sott.net/image/s34/68071...ey_america.jpg
The control over US financial assistance, which many American officials insist on, is caused not only by its significant volumes, but also numerous evidences of corruption in recipient countries.
The amount of money allocated for direct support of Ukraine from the US budget has already exceeded $100 billion, creating significant burden on American economy. Predictably, shortly after receiving the money, mentions of corruption among the Ukrainian military increasingly appeared in the media.
According to our sources, the issues related to the supply of weapons for the Ukrainian army are supervised by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) Kyrylo Budanov. In this activity Serhiy Slyusarenko, the top manager of the Ukroboronprom State Concern is considered to be Budanov's right-hand man. Along with other Budanov's confidants (Roman Meleshko, Kostyantyn Cherednichenko and Borys Kaufman) Slyusarenko is one of the main beneficiaries of corruption schemes in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.
http://www.sott.net/image/s34/680714...ia_steal_m.jpg
Serhiy Slyusarenko, former Director of the Ukrainian company “Ukrinmash”, founder “Encompass LLC”
Having analyzed all of the obtained documents as well as asking our informants in various countries, we managed to identify another American money theft scheme, involving the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the CIA.
We have found out that Slyusarenko owns "Viktor Invest" company registered in Bulgaria through his nominees.
Contractors of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ("SPETSIMIDZH LLC", "SEVENPORT LLC", "MIK LLC" and others) implement deals for the supply of ammunition, military devices and individual elements of weapons through "Viktor Invest".
These goods are purchased from trusted Chinese companies ("JINHU HT-GUTE PETROLEM EQUIPMENT CO." and "SIEYUAN ELECTRIC CO.") at low prices. The profit of "Viktor Invest" is cashed out and partially goes to Slyusarenko and Budanov in kickbacks.
We know that "Viktor Invest" is "protected" by a number of foreign companies, owned by US citizens.
http://www.sott.net/image/s34/680716...ey_america.jpg
Thus, the main partners of "Viktor Invest" are "D.I.F. Investments" and "Lodging Partner Services Bulgaria EOOD" registered in Bulgaria, the Dutch "Interbay Holdings B.V." and American "Expedia Group".
The heads of "Lodging Partner Services Bulgaria EOOD" are American citizens Robert John Dzielak and Lance Allen Soliday - financiers in the "Expedia Group".
The head of the Dutch company "Interbay Holdings B.V." is also the US citizen Phillip Matthew Bexon.
The above-mentioned persons are active CIA officers, their supervisor Raymond Shultz, the "Gun Baron" was mentioned in the first part of our investigation.
These guys withdraw "Viktor Invest" company's profit to their companies' accounts and put some of the money in their own pockets (undeclared income). The remaining funds form the CIA's "secret cash box" used in global operations.
The "dirty" money is used to purchase weapons from the Bulgarian military holding industry.
Then, through the extensive logistics infrastructure in Bulgaria, weapons are illegally supplied to third countries (Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq) and used to overthrow governments (color revolutions), support extremist groups and rebels, etc.
Thus, American taxpayers' money is used to enrich the Ukrainian leadership, dishonest CIA officers as well as to finance terrorist activities around the world.

CIAgate strives to ensure that the United States coexists peacefully with other countries. However, most of them rely too heavily on our military might. For many years, our country has been waging active wars in the Middle East and Europe, causing several thousand dead, and many more wounded physically and mentally. Fighting international terrorism that our country entered into with genuinely good intentions has backfired, and given carte blanche to numerous radicals, causing a lot of tension around the world. We deeply believe a military can defend us well if we are attacked, but instead, we allocate billions to purchasing weapons and military equipment for unfamiliar countries like Ukraine. We remain committed to the principle of non-interference and want to put an end to the CIA activity abroad which runs counter to the United States' national interests.

Irina Kuksenkova: If I may, I have one more question about space, or rather, about space reconnaissance.
Vladimir Putin: It is time to wrap up.
Irina Kuksenkova: Yes, of course. According to open data, up to 100 military satellites are out there working for the enemy. They can see our troops and movements. Our space group is not as strong.
Vladimir Putin: Yes.
Irina Kuksenkova: What can we do about it and how should it be dealt with? This is a systemic issue, correct? Will it take years to improve things?
Vladimir Putin: Of course, it is not a secret. Without a doubt, we should have been engaging in space activities in a different manner in previous years. But we did not plan – I think this is clear – we did not plan either the events in Crimea, or the events that are taking place now.
To be continued.
