Sergey #Lavrov:
The Americans continue to make declarations about their commitment to a just solution to the Palestine problem, while at the same time generously adding fuel to the armed confrontation.
For six months, Washington has blocked the #UN Security Council’s ceasefire decision, effectively green-lighting the devastation of the #GazaStrip.
However, when the Americans had to abstain from voting in March, and the #UNSC finally approved a resolution calling for a cessation of hostilities, the US representative said without a shadow of embarrassment that the document was not binding.

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/...r-1810355.htmlThis 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:
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!

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.

Turtle Tanks,
"Cope Cages" & Modified Vehicles in Ukraine
- 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.
