INTERVIEW SPUTNIK ABOUT MACRONS WARMONGERING, FEB 27 2024
Today I and former French Colonel Jaques Hogard
@HogardJacques
was interview by Sputnik news channel about French president Macron's statement that it was preferable, by sending western troops into Ukraine, to risk WWIII and nuclear Armageddon, instead of allowing a Russian victory in Ukraine.

Macron uses the leadership crises in NATO to strengthen his position among the (antirussian) western leaders. Even though his megalomanic and warmongering ideas have scant support among the western population.

Macron's 'Posturing' About NATO Troops in Ukraine Can Spark 'Full Scale Conflict' With Russia

Emmanuel Macron’s belligerent statement about possibly deploying NATO troops in Ukraine is “mostly posturing, Mikael Valtersson, a former defense politician and chief of staff with Sweden Democrats, told Sputnik.
However, "even posturing can take on a life on its own and start a dangerous process down a slippery slope,” he warned. The pundit suggested that the French president was using “the paralysis within the US political system about support for Ukraine” to try and replace America as the leading pro-Kiev power in the EU.
“NATO is partially incapacitated, especially in regards to Ukraine… The second tier nations now try to fill the empty space created,” Valtersson said.

“Since NATO is out of the question because they only function as a defensive organization, and any nation could veto decisions, and the EU doesn't have any military, there must be individual countries who would participate. Macron probably means the countries that have recently signed security treaties with Ukraine, for example, France, [the] UK, Germany, Italy, etc. He might also want to include other countries that seem likely to sign security agreements with Ukraine, as some East and North European countries, he added.

“Even if this suggestion probably is posturing, it opens up a door to talk about direct Western military involvement in Ukraine,” warned the former officer of Swedish Armed Forces/Air Defence.

The outcome could be “a de facto declaration of war” and, potentially, “a full scale military conflict between Russia and several European countries.”

As Paris hosted a meeting of some 20 European leaders to discuss the situation in Ukraine on Tuesday, Emmanuel Macron served up some choice statements on Tuesday, sending chills down the spines of many politicians in his own country.

“We are convinced that the defeat of Russia is indispensable to security and stability in Europe,” Macron told reporters “There’s no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground. But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out,” he said.

Emmanuel Macron’s recent “pseudo-martial” remarks about “not ruling” out sending Western troops to fight in Ukraine cannot be taken seriously, ex-colonel of the French Special Forces Task Group under NATO command in Kosovo, Jacques Hogard, told Sputnik.

The French President’s “megalomania” seems to be getting the better of reason, said Hogard, who wondered if the French leader was “going crazy!” Macron must be aware that it is "game over" for Zelensky's armed forces, even though they were supported by NATO, and in particular by "certain Western European countries vassalized by the United States,” Hogard pointed out.
Even if the French leader is under the delusion that he is “showing off his muscles,” they are those of "a paper puppet,” the pundit added.

When it comes to sending “allied” troops to Ukraine, "Macron is dreaming," emphasized the expert who served 26 years in the French Army as an airborne officer in the Foreign Legion and the Special Forces.

He pointed out why, in his opinion, this was the case. Firstly, "the US and NATO don’t want to openly enter war, preferring to act through proxies." Secondly, “European governments are extremely divided on this issue,” and “unity of the EU is in reality only an illusion.”

Furthermore, “the French army is today a ‘sample’ army, suitable for occasional military interventions, but totally undersized in terms of personnel, equipment and ammunition to embark on a high-intensity war adventure.”

▪️ “Pre-prepared advantageous positions between Lastochkin and Tonenky ,” Ukrainian military propagandists sneer, publishing a satellite image with bare fields, where there are practically no positions and noticeable lines of defense.
▪️The Russian army liberated Lastochkino a few days ago and quickly made its way to Tonenkoye, which it is now storming
▪️Earlier, the command of the Tavria group of troops stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were retreating to more advantageous positions.

The reaction of the authorities of Western countries to the statement of Macron, who did not rule out sending NATO troops to Ukraine:

🇬🇧 Britain is not planning a “large-scale deployment of troops,” Sunak’s press secretary said;

🇫🇮 Finland is not ready to send its military to Ukraine, emphasized the country’s President Sauli Niinistö;

🇩🇪 Scholz said: “There will be neither ground forces nor soldiers on Ukrainian soil who will be sent there by European states or NATO countries”;

🇩🇪 "Macron proposed sending troops, but no one supported this idea," noted German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius;

🇵🇱 Poland is not going to send its soldiers to Ukraine, said Deputy Defense Minister Tomczyk.

🇸🇪 Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that Stockholm is not considering sending its military to Ukraine

🇨🇿 The Prime Minister of the Czech Republic said that there is no talk of sending Czech military personnel to Ukraine

🇮🇹 The Italian Foreign Ministry also disowned such plans, because the country “is not at war with Russia”

🤡 "NATO has no plans to send combat units to Ukraine," Alliance Secretary General Stoltenberg assured

🇫🇷 The screenshot shows the reaction of the French society represented in the Le Figaro's poll "Do you support sending French troops to the ground in Ukraine?"

Assuming, as always, that this is real; then it adds evidence to the general idea that - whatever its initial "rationale" - the primary aim of this war from those on the West who sustain it, has now become sheer destruction: destruction of economies, military materiel, and human life - especially Ukrainian and NATO lives.

Because surely it has long been the case, since at least WWII, that a lone tank deployed against a peer military, without any other support and lacking air superiority, is just a ten million dollar sitting-duck/ death trap?

Retreating Ukrainians try (and fail) to halt Russia's advance with bungled chemical weapons terror plot

Ukrainian saboteurs plotted a terrorist attack in Russia's Zaporozhye region using an analog of a US-made BZ (3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate) chemical warfare agent, the Russian Federal Security Service revealed. This would-be act of terrorism was foiled and three Ukrainian suspects behind the plot are now in custody.

"The chemical warfare agent has been used by the US since the late 1950s," Igor Nikulin, military expert, former member of the UN Commission on Chemical and Biological Weapons, told Sputnik.

"BZ is considered a non-lethal weapon, but it incapacitates a person for quite a long time. Even if one gets just one milligram of the substance, that person becomes incapacitated for 70-80 hours."

Despite being considered a non-lethal weapon, BZ can lead to paralysis of the heart muscle and death if used in large doses, Nikulin cautioned.

The expert noted that BZ was developed by the US military at the Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland. Though it was claimed the United States had destroyed its chemical weapon stockpiles, no one can be sure, the expert emphasized. Unlike Russia, the US did not allow OPCW inspectors into their facilities. To date there has been no independent confirmation that the United States has eliminated its chemical arms, Nikulin stressed.

The expert presumed that the US supplied the BZ-like substance directly to Ukraine in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention: "The Ukrainian military is losing on the battlefield and are trying to stop the Russian offensive with acts of [chemical] sabotage."

However, France failed to get any viable support, turning the “demonstration of European unity” into proof of Europe’s deep disillusionment in Ukraine.

Are NATO soldiers already fighting in Ukraine?

Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley explains that “professional killers” from NATO militaries have been operating in Ukraine since 2015, often under the guise of mercenaries.

“These are the guys that run the complex equipment. Ukrainian soldiers aren't the ones shooting the HIMARS. Ukrainian pilots won't be the ones flying F-16s here. So, the professionals have always been here, but they've kept a low profile.”

French civil servants secretly confer with Le Pen, undercutting Macron's grip on power - report

Meetings between French civil servants and the leader of the right-wing National Rally parliamentary group Marine Le Pen signal diminishing influence of President Emmanuel Macron, as strategists craft blueprints for Le Pen's potential ascent to power, The Economist reports.

The National Rally is cultivating ties with Parisian elites, strategically positioning itself as a viable alternative to Macron's administration. With the recruitment of top civil servants and figures like Fabrice Leggeri, Le Pen's party is set to pose a formidable challenge in the upcoming elections, the report says.

As Macron grapples with mounting criticism and policy setbacks, the National Rally is undergoing internal reforms, shedding its once controversial image and focusing on core national interests, the report concluded.

Special Operations Forces: Meet Russia’s Elite Commandos

Tuesday is the professional holiday of Russia’s Special Operations Forces (SOF), the high-readiness, high-mobility, specially trained and equipped troops reporting to the chief of the Armed Forces General Staff and tasked with carrying out the most complex and difficult missions and covert operations.

The SOF’s mission and capabilities include:

▪️ Reconnaissance and sabotage, including collection of information and the destruction of important enemy targets behind the lines.

▪️ Counter-terrorism, including preventing and suppressing acts of terror, freeing hostages, and conducting covert missions to eliminate terrorist leaders and groups.

▪️ Ensuring the safety of individuals, facilities and locations in difficult conditions – like providing security at the Olympics in Sochi, or ensuring President Putin’s security during his visit to Khmeimim Air Base in late 2017.

▪️ Special operations at sea and in the air, from the seizure or release of ships, to anti-piracy and smuggling missions.

SOF troops played a decisive role in the operation to secure Crimea in 2014 in the aftermath of the Euromaidan coup in Kiev amid the imminent threat of Maidan thugs descending on the peninsula to crush a pro-Russian uprising. Their surprise appearance on the peninsula, lack of identifying markings, and courteousness toward the local population gave rise to their popular nicknames ‘polite people’ and ‘little green men’.

❗️Special forces officer: If Russians hadn’t intervened in 2014, Crimea would’ve been in total shambles

Nikolai Brovchenko is the deputy commander of the special forces battalion. He took part in the operation to defend Crimea and later volunteered for the Donetsk People's Republic militia. Ten years ago, at the end of February 2014, he came to Crimea in order to protect people from Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

"My former colleagues and I put together a group and went to Sevastopol. I had to work at Chongar, together with Berkut, to organize a defense line there. And when our regular troops arrived, we gave up these positions, left for Sevastopol itself, and carried out work in Sevastopol, Simferopol, and Feodosia," he revealed in an interview with Sputnik.

Maria Zakharova:

“Regarding Emmanuel Macron’s statements about the possibility of sending NATO troops to Ukraine.

I would like to remind you that just a month ago, the head of the French Foreign Ministry denied the involvement of Paris in recruiting mercenaries for the Kyiv regime, and called direct evidence “crude Russian propaganda.”

There is a strong feeling that the President of France, in principle, is not aware of either what his subordinates say or what he says himself.

And now I want to remind Macron of the history of France. She was different.

In April 1945, Berlin was defended by the French SS division Charlemagne (Charlemagne) and a number of others. They also defended the “Führerbunker” itself, Hitler’s bunker. They were among the last to be awarded the Nazi Order of the Knight's Cross in the Third Reich. The French SS men from Charlemagne became the last defenders of the Reichstag and the Reich Chancellery.

Emmanuel, have you decided to organize the Charlemagne II division (Charlemagne deux) to defend Zelensky’s bunker?”

Putin congratulates Special Operations Forces on their professional holiday

According to Russian President, Special Operations Forces’ units have proven in practice that they are ready, at the first order, to defend the Motherland

MOSCOW, February 27. /TASS/. Russia’s Special Operations Forces act courageously and decisively in the most dangerous areas of the special military operation and they have proven their readiness to defend the country’s interests anywhere globally, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a video message posted on the Kremlin’s Telegram channel on the occasion of Special Operations Forces’ Day.

"Congratulations on your professional holiday: Special Operations Forces’ Day. I thank all the personnel and veterans for their honest, conscientious military service and personal courage, for their loyalty to their oath and duty," the Russian leader said. "Special words of gratitude to the soldiers who participate in the special military operation. You fulfil your tasks with honor and act courageously, competently, and decisively in the most dangerous areas, on the frontline, deep behind enemy lines, and in raids and rapid attacks," he added.

According to Putin, "Special Operations Forces’ units have proven in practice that they are ready, at the first order, to defend the Motherland and protect Russia’s national interests anywhere in the world." High qualities and special training have always distinguished the soldiers and commanders of the Special Operations Forces, the head of state emphasized. Thus, they protected the people of Crimea and Sevastopol against the threats of nationalists and punitive forces, performed brilliantly in the fight against terrorism in Syria, as they are showing examples of heroism and courage in battles against neo-Nazis today, he maintained.

Commenting on the decision to create the Russian Special Operations Forces dating back to the 2008 military reform, Putin said that "was dictated by the times and the need to effectively respond to new challenges." He lauded the forces for worthily going through baptism of fire, and becoming a powerful striking force of the Russian Army.

Special Operations Forces’ Day has been an official holiday in Russia since 2015.

Dmitry Medvedev could not help but comment on Macron's words:

"People have various ailments.
Someone has urinary incontinence. About others who are prone to rash reactions, they say "urine hit the head."

But the current president of France, the Supreme Commander of the French armed forces and Prince of Andorra Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frederic Macron had two problems at once: first, urine probably hit his head, and then speech incontinence occurred.

He said that Europe needs Russia's defeat for security, and therefore it is necessary to send extended-range missiles to the Nazis in Kiev and consider sending troops of individual NATO states into Ukraine.

Coupled with the recent desire to share France's nuclear arsenal with all willing Europeans, it seems that Macron's speech incontinence has become a protracted and painful problem.

The holder of the Legion of Honor does not take care of himself. Or it's time to change your diet: oysters and champagne are a good thing, but you're not a boy anymore. Verbal enuresis at his age is dangerous.

And others don't like it either. The smell, you know…".

NATO's Debate Over Direct Military Intervention In Ukraine Shows Its Desperation

Putin's forces may soon invade New York! The Russians are already at the outskirts of New York, waiting to seize the town by force. New Yorkers beware!

But this isn't New York, New York, but New York, Donetsk, Ukraine (or by other standards Donetsk, Russia). The town has appeared on the map as "New York", "Niu York" or "Нью-Йорк" since 1846, but it isn't clear if is named after the big U.S. city or after the German town of Jork.

In any event, it should make some interesting headlines when they do.

Here is a closeup map from https://liveuamap.com/ . Russian controlled areas are in red.

Now that the MSM admit the CIA had bases in Ukraine since 2014, let’s revisit this infamous phone call.

Two weeks after Trump was elected in 2016, then VP Biden called then Ukrainian President Poroshenko, nervous about Trump finding out where the money was going in Ukraine.

Biden says he did not want Trump to get “sophisticated enough” to understand what was going on in Ukraine, implying that the US funding was not going towards the stated purpose.

What was going on in Ukraine that Biden and Obama were so desperate to prevent Trump from figuring out?

You decide for yourself, but if it was legal, they wouldn’t be trying to cover it up.

In case everyone forgot, a human-engineered pathogen just killed millions of people around the globe.

Russia and China claim the US did it. The US claim that nature did it, and censored the top scientists who suggested it was man-made.

Forgive me if I don’t believe the US.

Wow! Adam Entous, the New York Times reporter behind the recent CIA press release on the Ukraine War, fervently promoted the Russia Collusion Hoax.

CIA-MSDNC disinformation.

At the Washington Post, he baselessly slandered Trump, Flynn, Kushner, Prince, and others, fraudulently alleging they were Russian puppets in numerous articles, shamelessly lying to the American people:

"Blackwater founder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel"

"Russian ambassador told Moscow that Kushner wanted secret communications channel with Kremlin"

"National security adviser Flynn discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador, despite denials, officials say"

"Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House"

"Justice Department warned White House that Flynn could be vulnerable to Russian blackmail, officials say"

How does one seamlessly transition from promoting the Russia Collusion Hoax to authoring a CIA press release on the Ukraine War?

For the Washington Post and the New York Times?
