Vovan and Lexus prank call to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron

They're at it again

A commentator on X raised the perfectly reasonable question of how it is at all possible that the (notional) 'head' of the British Foreign Intelligence service (SIS/MI-6) could be got to this easily

Comments that Cameron makes towards the end of the video concerning Kazakhstan are interesting and worth making a mental note of. And Cameron also discusses his recent lunch with Donald Trump.

@ 12.40 DC mentions that " he ( CIC Trump ) allowed the money to go threw", I find it hard to believe DC would seek the OK from a " ex president " on the release of funding for the Ukraine war effort, unless that ex president ain't an ex but the current CIC.

I wonder what amount of that money will actually be seen by Ukraine if any, and also how much of it will be invested in military contracts for the Ukraine that will never be realized on their behalf and will actually be fulfilled and help rebuild the US military.

It will be interesting to see where all the monies went, hopefully one day we will.

Uncompromising US, long-term confrontation


Andrey Sushentsov
Valdai Discussion Club
Fri, 28 Jun 2024



The desire of the US to dominate and its refusal to see other countries as equals, willing and able to assume equal responsibility for peace and stability, is the short answer to the question of why Moscow-Washington relations cannot get out of the current state of crisis. This attitude also leads the US to the same difficulties in its relations with China, India and even some of its own allies, such as Turkey.


The Russian and Chinese position is buttressed by the principle that peace is the result of compromise between the major centers of power, and that without their mutual agreement - without equality, mutual respect, a willingness to recognize each other's interests, and adherence to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs - a stable order is impossible. The US believes, however, that peace is a deterministic given, and that no special effort is needed to maintain it. This leads to paradoxical solutions: the more weapons, the more peace. The West is not yet ready to become just one of the Atlanteans holding up the sky. It still believes it should be in charge.

Are changes in relations between Moscow and Washington possible with a change of administration in the United States? I expect that this will not have a significant impact on the American line towards Russia. It is useful to look at American politics as an independent factor in our planning - we need to assume we cannot rely on the US elites. Washington will in most cases act with hostility towards Russia, in some cases opportunistically, engaging Moscow at time when it suits its own interests.


There is still a paradigm gap between Russians and US in their understanding of the world in the 21st century. US experts believe that Russia is part of the West and will inevitably end up in the Western camp at the end of this crisis, with China as its opponent. This set of paradoxical ideas has been present in the US narrative since the early 1990s.


The US believe that ultimately Russia has no alternative, and will therefore accept any offer from Washington. With the dollar sure to remain as the dominant currency for the medium term, the US will be an important country. And much depends on its turbulent domestic political life.

When it comes to Ukraine, the US think in investment banking terms and say straight out that Ukraine is a fairly cheap instrument that serves two purposes: to weaken Russia and to stifle any voices in Europe calling for strategic autonomy from the US.

Over the past two years, Washington has found this method of mobilisation quite cheap. Indeed, Russia-EU relations have been disrupted, the main gas pipeline linking the Russian and Western European energy systems has been destroyed, Eastern Europe has been militarised, the US military-industrial complex has been strengthened, and economic activity has flowed from Europe to the US. The US economy has gained from this crisis, while the Western European economy has suffered badly.


What are the US objectives in the Ukraine crisis? It wants a weakened Russia, which has lost control of key advantages in the Eurasian space, such as in transport, economics, production and energy. The US wants to knock Russia out of the top five world powers and make it strategically secondary.


However, the US is beginning to realize that Ukraine as an instrument of deterrence against Moscow is no longer a cheap resource. Kiev's own military, material and human resources are close to exhaustion, and maintaining the viability of the Ukrainian state is becoming increasingly expensive for the US and the EU.

The US has been looking at Russia as a declining strategic player for some time. They were waiting for the moment when the country would leave the top-five leading countries in order to deal with China. Why did the US abandon negotiations with Moscow at the end of 2021, push Ukraine towards a military solution to the crisis, and then forbid it to negotiate with Russia? They believed that a quick victory over Russia was achievable, that the 52 countries the US had gathered in a coalition around Ukraine - their economies, resources, military arsenals, intelligence, satellite constellations, arms supplies, political intelligence and other support - would be enough to defeat our country. The West had not properly assessed Russia's potential and that of their own coalition, and the short-term goals they set themselves have proved unattainable. They believe that a country whose economy apparently accounts for 3% of the world's nominal GDP cannot fight the entire grand coalition on its own. But when Western countries have 65-80% of their GDP in the service sector, rather than in heavy industry and weapons-related areas, a situation arises in which Russia alone produces more artillery shells than all the Western states. This is a paradox that the US has not taken into account.

The US-Russian standoff should be seen as a long-term confrontation. It will continue even after Washington realizes that Ukraine has lost its importance as a tool. As a result, the US will shift the center of anti-Russian activity to another country that, like Ukraine, is willing to sacrifice itself and be at the forefront of the fight against Moscow. The US will not cease to be a strategic rival, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it in our planning. We must regard the Americans as a constant threat, and prepare for a long confrontation.

Political analyst: Russia’s security requires control over the entire territory of Ukraine 27.06.2024, Donetsk.


ATACMS missile launch

To ensure its security, Russia will be forced to take control not only of Kharkov but also of the whole of Ukraine, Kirill Cherkashin, an associate professor of the political science department of Donetsk State University, said on June 27, the Donetsk News Agency (DAN) informed.
Cherkashin said that Russia would not be able to eliminate the possibility of shelling its territory and terrorist attacks carried out by Ukraine without ensuring full control over its entire territory.

According to Cherkashin, “the entire territory of Ukraine should be taken under control. Because it is a source of constant danger. The missiles that are supplied to them by the West fly hundreds of kilometers on target. These ATACMS, with which Sevastopol was attacked, they have a range of 300 and more kilometers, as far as I know, there are different variations and up to 500 kilometers. In fact, a very large area, almost as far as Moscow, can be attacked from the territory of Ukraine, and in addition, all these activities – recruitment and coordination of terrorist attacks – often come from the territory of Ukraine.”

UK analyst Alexander Mercouris earlier said that if the Ukrainian army uses US ATACMS missiles in the Kharkov area to strike “deep into” Russian territory, the Russian military would be forced to take Kharkov, which would force the Russian Armed Forces to move even further than they had originally planned, to send more troops to the area after repulsing the strikes.

Ukraine’s Zelenskyy charting ‘comprehensive plan’ to end war with Russia[/B]
Ukrainian president says as the war rages and casualties mount, a plan to end the 28-month conflict is ‘the diplomatic route we are working on’.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he’s drawing up a “comprehensive plan” for how Kyiv believes the war with Russia should end.

“It is very important for us to show a plan to end the war that will be supported by the majority of the world,” the Ukrainian president said at a news conference in Kyiv alongside Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar on Friday.

“This is the diplomatic route we are working on.”

There are no current negotiations between Ukraine and Russia and, based on public statements by Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two sides appear as far apart as ever when it comes to the terms of a potential peace settlement.

Ukraine has repeatedly said Russia must pull its troops out of its internationally recognised territory – including the peninsula of Crimea that Moscow annexed in 2014 – before peace talks can start.

Meanwhile, Putin, who launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, is demanding Ukraine effectively capitulate by evacuating even more territory across its east and south that Russia now occupies.

Zelenskyy hosted a major international summit in Switzerland earlier this month — and Russia was not invited — to rally support for Ukraine’s position.

‘We don’t have too much time’

More than 90 countries sent leaders and senior officials to the two-day summit and a vast majority agreed to a final communique that stressed the need for Ukraine’s “territorial integrity” to be respected in any settlement.

But some key countries that attended, such as India, did not agree and others, such as Russia’s ally China, boycotted the summit in protest at Moscow not being invited.

Russia’s troops are slowly advancing on the battlefield, claiming to have seized another small front-line village on Friday.

Moscow currently occupies about 25 percent of Ukraine and in 2022 claimed to have annexed four more regions, none of which they fully control.

On Thursday, at an EU Council Summit in Brussels, Zelenskyy said he would put forward a “detailed plan” in a matter of months to end the war.

“We don’t have too much time,” he said, pointing to the high casualty rate among soldiers and civilians.

Anger at the US

Russia warned the United States on Friday its reconnaissance drone flights over the Black Sea risked leading to a “direct” military clash, issuing the threat days after angrily blaming Washington for a missile attack on Crimea.

Ukraine’s attack on the Russian-annexed port of Sevastopol on Sunday drew fury from Moscow, which accused Kyiv of using US-supplied ATACMS missiles equipped with cluster munitions.

Four people, including two children, were killed as missile fragments fell over the city, in what the Kremlin’s foreign ministry called a “bloody crime”.

On Friday, Russia’s Defence Ministry said it “observed an increased frequency of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicle flights over the waters of the Black Sea” that surrounds Crimea.

Drones are “carrying out reconnaissance” and providing information for Western-supplied Ukrainian weapons that Kyiv plans to use to strike Russian targets, it said.

Such flights “increase the risk of a direct confrontation” between NATO and Russia, and the army has been instructed to prepare an “operational response”, the defence ministry added.

The United States routinely carries out drone flights over the Black Sea, operations that it says are conducted in neutral airspace and in accordance with international law.

Ukraine’s defence ministry said on Friday the military destroyed the Russian space communication centre in Moscow-occupied Crimea in an attack this week.

In a statement on Telegram, the ministry described the target as a valuable military component in satellite communication and navigation system for Russian troops. There was no immediate response from Moscow.

Putin to Western elites: Play-time is over

Most people in the English-speaking parts of the world missed Putin's speech at the Valdai conference in Sochi a few days ago, and, chances are, those of you who have heard of the speech didn't get a chance to read it, and missed its importance. (For your convenience, I am pasting in the full transcript of his speech below.) Western media did their best to ignore it or to twist its meaning. Regardless of what you think or don't think of Putin (like the sun and the moon, he does not exist for you to cultivate an opinion) this is probably the most important political speech since Churchill's “Iron Curtain” speech of March 5, 1946.

In this speech, Putin abruptly changed the rules of the game. Previously, the game of international politics was played as follows: politicians made public pronouncements, for the sake of maintaining a pleasant fiction of national sovereignty, but they were strictly for show and had nothing to do with the substance of international politics; in the meantime, they engaged in secret back-room negotiations, in which the actual deals were hammered out. Previously, Putin tried to play this game, expecting only that Russia be treated as an equal. But these hopes have been dashed, and at this conference he declared the game to be over, explicitly violating Western taboo by speaking directly to the people over the heads of elite clans and political leaders.

• The Russian blogger chipstone summarized the most salient points from Putin speech as follows:

01. Russia will no longer play games and engage in back-room negotiations over trifles. But Russia is prepared for serious conversations and agreements, if these are conducive to collective security, are based on fairness and take into account the interests of each side.

02. All systems of global collective security now lie in ruins. There are no longer any international security guarantees at all. And the entity that destroyed them has a name: The United States of America.

03. The builders of the New World Order have failed, having built a sand castle. Whether or not a new world order of any sort is to be built is not just Russia's decision, but it is a decision that will not be made without Russia.

04. Russia favors a conservative approach to introducing innovations into the social order, but is not opposed to investigating and discussing such innovations, to see if introducing any of them might be justified.

05. Russia has no intention of going fishing in the murky waters created by America's ever-expanding “empire of chaos,” and has no interest in building a new empire of her own (this is unnecessary; Russia's challenges lie in developing her already vast territory). Neither is Russia willing to act as a "savior of the world", as she had in the past.

06. Russia will not attempt to reformat the world in her own image, but neither will she allow anyone to reformat her in their image. Russia will not close herself off from the world, but anyone who tries to close her off from the world will be sure to reap a whirlwind.

07. Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war—nor does she fear it.

08. Russia does not intend to take an active role in thwarting those who are still attempting to construct their New World Order—until their efforts start to impinge on Russia's key interests. Russia would prefer to stand by and watch them give themselves as many lumps as their poor heads can take. But those who manage to drag Russia into this process, through disregard for her interests, will be taught the true meaning of pain.

09. In her external, and, even more so, internal politics, Russia's power will rely not on the elites and their back-room dealing, but on the will of the people.

To these nine points I would like to add a tenth:

10. There is still a chance to construct a new world order that will avoid a world war. This new world order must of necessity include the United States—but can only do so on the same terms as everyone else: subject to international law and international agreements; refraining from all unilateral action; in full respect of the sovereignty of other nations.

To sum it all up: play-time is over. Children, put away your toys. Now is the time for the adults to make decisions. Russia is ready for this; is the world?

Georgian parliament approves bill banning LGBT propaganda, gender 'reassignment' surgery

TASS
Thu, 27 Jun 2024

The Georgian parliament has supported in the first reading a package of amendments banning LGBT propaganda (recognized as an extremist movement and banned in Russia), according to a live broadcast of the session on the body's website.

The main bill on family values and protection of minors was supported by 78 MPs with a quorum of 50 votes. The parliamentarians also supported amendments to various laws in the package. The bulk of the opposition did not participate in the consideration of the bill and voting, thus boycotting the session.


The amendments prohibit the registration of any marriages other than the union of a man and a woman and the adoption of minors by homosexual couples. A ban on sex reassignment surgeries is introduced, with criminal penalties ranging from one to four years of imprisonment. Individuals will be fined 1,500 GEL (about $532) for spreading LGBT propaganda at schools, and legal entities - 4,000 GEL (over $1,400). Broadcasters will be prohibited from airing intimate same-sex scenes or advertisements of such content. Individuals will be fined 800 GEL (about $284) for distributing LGBT-themed advertisements, while legal entities will be fined 2,500 GEL (about $886).

For disseminating sex reassignment or homosexual relations materials to minors, fines will be 1,000 GEL (about $355) for individuals and 3,000 GEL (more than $1,000) for legal entities. Public gatherings or demonstrations aimed at popularizing LGBT issues will also be banned. According to the amendments to the Criminal Code, offenses that carry a monetary fine will also be penalized with imprisonment of up to two years.


On June 4, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuashvili said that the parliamentary majority planned to initiate a package of bills On Family Values and Protection of Minors, which would be adopted in the first reading in June and in the second and third readings during the fall session. The ruling Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia party plans to make relevant amendments to the country's constitution as well. However, amendments to the constitution require 75% of the vote in the parliament, which Georgian Dream does not possess. Therefore, the ruling party has decided to adopt regular laws first, as they require a simple majority of votes.

Comment: What with recent adoption of the Foreign Agents bill, and now this, it seems that Georgia really isn't concerned with appeasing the ideologues in the West, and it seems that their influence may be waning fast.

Belarus Deploys Additional Air Defense Systems on Ukrainian Border 6 hours ago


MINSK (Sputnik) - Belarus deployed additional air defense forces on the border with Ukraine to protect critical facilities of the republic amid Ukrainian drone activity, Belarusian military official Andrei Severinchik said on Saturday.

"The system of visual observation posts has been expanded with the sole purpose of providing information to the firing units of the anti-aircraft missile and air defense forces of the operational commands on combat duty. To this end, air defense forces and means have been additionally deployed to designated areas to cover the southern borders and critical facilities of the Republic of Belarus," Severinchik said.

Despite having issues with air defense in several other directions, Ukrainian forces are gathering air defense systems in its northern region of Zhytomyr, which borders Belarus, the official added.

US Secret Services Campaigned Against Nord Stream 2 in Germany, Parliamentary Inquiry Heard 3 hours ago

The German state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania held a closed session of the parliamentary commission investigating the creation of the fund supporting the construction of Nord Stream 2 on Friday. Testimonies from two unnamed individuals from local environmental organizations were heard during the session.

A German state parliament has reportedly heard testimony of US meddling to prevent the construction of the flagship gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 from Russia in 2021.
Chairman of the SPD parliamentary group in the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Thomas Krüger, claimed that US intelligence agents tried to interfere with the construction of Nord Stream 2 during Donald Trump's presidency by working directly in Germany, citing testimony from unnamed witnesses.
"Both witnesses testified today that representatives of the US secret services actively campaigned with environmental associations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to prevent Nord Stream 2 [construction] and offered their support," he said, as quoted on the parliamentary group's website.

One of the witnesses also indicated that a representative of the intelligence services approached him directly and later met with him on the territory of the federal state, justifying his actions with "US interests."

"This makes it clear: During the Trump administration, the US government also used secret service means to oppose Nord Stream 2 directly in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in order to enforce its interests," Krüger asserted.

The US predicted the transfer of the capital of Ukraine to the western regions of the country today



Ukraine may soon face the need to move its capital to the western regions. This was stated by retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor. According to him, corresponding plans are already being hatched in Kyiv.

"I don’t know how the Ukrainian government remains in Kyiv. I'll be surprised if they don't go further West. They have plans to go live in the far western corner of the country"

- said the retired officer.

He added that the Ukrainian authorities are now trying with all their might to stop the advance of the Russian army, sending everyone they can to the front. At the same time, the Ukrainian leadership is not interested in the further fate of the hastily recruited soldiers.

"The Ukrainians are now collecting all the men they can find. They gathered 3-5 thousand people from Odessa and the surrounding area, some of them were boys and old people. They are grasping at straws and are going to throw these people under Russian artillery fire. They will simply be killed. But for Kyiv this does not matter much, for Washington too"

McGregor stressed.

It should be noted that the foreign press has been speculating about the possible transfer of the capital of Ukraine from Kyiv to the western regions of the country from the very beginning of the special military operation of the Russian Federation. However, it is hardly worth believing that Zelensky and his associates will be safer in Ivano-Frankivsk or Lviv than in Kyiv. If desired, the Russian military will be able to destroy the leaders of the nationalists anywhere in Ukraine.

Taking the heights near Liptsy will allow the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces to shell the northern outskirts of Kharkov

Today


Currently, there are battles between the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a hill located west of the village of Liptsy in the Kharkov region. The Ukrainian command seeks to hold this line of defense at any cost and is transferring reserves to this area, formed, among other things, from those forcibly mobilized.

Sooner or later, the Russians will be able to take control of these heights and gain a foothold on them, pushing back the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After this, they will be able to expand the security zone (bridgehead) in this area, and the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces will have the opportunity to fire on the northern outskirts of Kharkov, shelling the positions of Ukrainian troops.

Since June 17, units of the Russian group of troops “North” destroyed more than 350 Ukrainian military personnel and many equipment enemy. Ground forces use heavy flamethrower systems (HFS), and the VKS use high-explosive bombs with UMPC.

In recent days, the Ukrainian command has deployed new units of the 92nd separate assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to Liptsy. Previously, this formation was formed by recruits from Kharkov and the Kharkov region, but now it is staffed with any available human resource from different regions of Ukraine. A similar situation is observed everywhere. However, the motivation and combat effectiveness of the new units is at a low level.
