U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about the recent drone attack on the Kremlin, and whether the United States would support an assassination attempt by Ukraine on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Blinken declined the opportunity to discourage such a course of action and claimed that Ukraine can do whatever Ukraine wants in this war — even though NATO is providing the overwhelming majority of arms and other material support, without which Ukraine would folk in a matter of hours. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the reckless talk coming from Blinken.

The Duran weighs in about Prigozhin's video melt-down. They discuss the situation respectfully, but note (I'm sure correctly) that he must be exhausted and under the most extreme stress.

They also note that this kind of public commentary about military affairs in the middle of what is practically a full scale war (and a proxy global one at that, in which Russia's very existence is being threatened) plays right into the hands of the western media and has now reached the point of being impossible for the Kremlin to tolerate.

Dual American-Chilean national Gonzalo Lira was recently arrested by Ukraine’s secret police on charges pertaining to “wartime propaganda”, for which he faces the possibility of 5-8 years in jail.

The US Government’s silence on this incident completely contrasts with its hysteria over Wall Street Journal employee Evan Gershkovich’s arrest in Russia last month on charges of espionage after he was caught red-handed soliciting classified military-industrial information from a regional lawmaker.

Chilean journalist arrested in Ukraine
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on Friday confirmed the arrest of Gonzalo Lira, a Chilean national living in Kharkov, suspecting him of pro-Russian sympathies. Lira had been previously detained in April 2022, but released after a week and ordered not to leave the city.

According to a SBU statement quoted by Ukrainian media, Lira “publicly justified the armed aggression” of Russia, denied or glorified alleged Russian war crimes, and “engaged in discrediting the top military and political leadership and the Defense Forces of our state.”

The SBU filmed Lira’s arrest by heavily armed agents, blurring out the faces of everyone involved.

He is suspected of “producing and distributing materials justifying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, committed repeatedly.” A court ordered him jailed pending the outcome of the investigation.

The SBU has reportedly seized Lira’s computer and multiple cell phones as evidence.

Lira, 55, is a writer and filmmaker who used to work in the US. Several years ago, he moved to Kharkov, where he got married and began blogging as ‘Coach Red Pill’.

This is the second time he has been detained by the SBU. He was first arrested in April 2022, but was released after a week. No charges were pressed at the time, and Lira would not discuss the details of what happened, saying only that he was not allowed to leave Kharkov.

He blamed the US outlet Daily Beast for directing Kiev’s attention to his work, accusing the outlet of trying to get him killed. The tabloid had reported on Lira’s activities in March 2022, calling him “sleazy” and a “pro-Putin shill,” and noting its reporters had reached out to Ukrainian authorities.

While Lira kept a low profile for several weeks after his release, he eventually returned to social media and continued voicing criticism of Kiev’s policies. Since then, Ukraine has enacted laws criminalizing dissent and allowing President Vladimir Zelensky to ban opposition political parties, nationalize the media and even persecute the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for being in canonical communion with Moscow.

The suspect in the explosion of Zakhar Prilepin's car was detained. The car was blown up by an anti-tank mine. Two such mines were laid by Ukrainian saboteurs with the aim of killing Prilepin. And it happened 800 km from Ukraine. No war in Russia? Well, it's all right then.

If you advance 100 meters along a several kilometers long front it is a significant amount. Typically there are positions of strongholds that you need to break so the enemy retreats further back and then you get a significant gain. The reason Russia is taking so long is because Ukraine has set up hundreds of bunkers to hide in and it’s difficult to push them out. Russia has to pulverize them with artillery then move in with ground forces. They have purposely avoided using their Air Force or larger bombs to prevent the war from escalating. It’s a slow grind but Ukraine will eventually surrender. What isn’t reported often is the dozens of attempts Ukraine forces have made to try to push out Russia from its positions in the Donbas, they have failed many many times using NATO-trained soldiers. Ukraine stands no chance of breaking the layers of defense that Russia has built fortifying the newly claimed territory. They would need 2-3x as many men as the Russians and it’s just not going to happen.
