This is one of the most mind blowing videos about the Ukraine War from @RobertKennedyJr

RFK Jr. explains why NATO keeps adding countries - so those new countries have to buy NATO-specific weapons from Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop etc ($$$) -the US “loaned” more than $100 billion to Ukraine so it could impose loan conditions like selling gov’t assets - guess what’s been sold to Monsanto to pay war bills? Ukraine’s farmland - the bread basket of Europe Guess who got a multi-trillion $$ contract to rebuild Ukraine’s infrastructure after the war, and who has a massive equity stake in every company listed above? BlackRock This entire money laundering death machine plunging us into WW3 serves 1 ultimate master BlackRock

EU prepares €40Bln loan for Ukraine without US involvement: FT

The Financial Times reported on Tuesday that the EU is preparing to provide up to €40 billion in new loans to Ukraine by the end of the year, moving forward without US participation.

This decision comes after a G7 plan to use frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine faltered due to opposition from Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

The EU is concerned that Hungary may block the delivery of key safeguards needed for the US to join the frozen asset scheme, prompting Brussels to consider an alternative, unilateral approach.

The new funding aims to support Ukraine's financial stability as it faces a projected $38 billion financing gap in 2025, according to Kiev and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The EU's proposal would bypass Hungary's veto by raising funds through an existing aid program that only requires majority support from member states, rather than unanimity.

While the original plan, which involved US participation, remains the EU's preferred option, officials are preparing to act alone if Hungary maintains its veto until after the US presidential election in November.

G7 leaders had agreed to provide a $50 billion loan to Ukraine, with the EU and U.S. each contributing $20 billion.

However, the US requires assurances that the frozen Russian assets, mainly held in Europe, will remain secured for future loan repayments.

The EU is now racing to finalize the proposal before the end of the year, as the current financial support package for Ukraine is set to expire.

The plan would include proceeds from frozen Russian assets, which generate approximately €2.5 to €3 billion annually, to help repay the loan.

Brussels hopes that Washington will still contribute, but the EU is prepared to act independently if needed.

Members of EU call for stripping Hungary of voting rights

In July, EU Parliament members asked that Hungary's right to vote in EU elections be taken away.

Prime Minister Orban "has already caused significant damage by exploiting and abusing the role of the Council Presidency," 63 MEPs said in a letter obtained by Politico and addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, and European Parliament Chief Roberta Metsola.

Belgium relinquished its rotating EU Council leadership to Hungary on July 1. Ever since, Orban went on what some subbed “peace missions” to Beijing, Moscow, Kiev, and Washington.

The MEPs said that Orban “undertook several diplomatic visits," notably to visit Putin in Russia and Xi Jinping in China, during which he intentionally misrepresented his empowerments,” and called on the parliament to act accordingly.

“This requires real actions, such as suspending Hungary’s voting rights in the Council, since practice has shown that mere verbal condemnations of this situation have no effect,” they added.

As the Draconian Western-led sanctions on Russia exacerbate the economic crisis worldwide, and as Russian troops gain more ground despite the influx of military aid into Ukraine, exposing US direct involvement in bio-labs spread across Eastern Europe and the insurgence of neo-Nazi groups… How will things unfold?

- The Houtis used a hypersonic missile in their recent attack on Tel Aviv. That's why the Iron Dome couldn't intercept it.
- Military ships are just sitting ducks in the face of an incoming hypersonic missile attack. (Personally, I wonder if that's really the reason a USA military ship left the Persian Gulf in recent days.)

It may be. What we don't know was the ship's scheduled assignment. But it is true they don't like taking chances. So, they generally don't go where a few hundred short-range, medium strength Iranian missiles can hit them, as that would be game over pretty quick. The Israeli F-16s are consistently fleeing whenever shot at, even though five SAM attacks have not actually hit the plane yet.

The Iron Dome also couldn't intercept six slow, small drones, which seem to have been enough to virtually wipe 8200 out of existence.

But, that is the other theater; here in Ukraine, they don't intercept the Kinzhal, or much else, it is just bigger and takes more hits to get rid of it.

Syrian terrorists and Ukrainian militants form ‘symbiotic relationship’ nurtured by ‘CIA connections’

Cooperation between the Ukrainian military and Syrian organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* (HTS) is hardly a surprise, says veteran international consultant and retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Earl Rasmussen.

“If we look at HTS history, formerly they were Al-Nusra [Front]*, aligned with al-Qaeda* and they were beneficiaries of Timber Sycamore weapons coming from Libya into anti Assad rebels, into Syria along with CIA training. So, there's kind of a symbiotic type of relationship,” he says, adding that there are “CIA connections on both sides.”

The objectives shared by the Syrian group and the Ukrainian militants are to “counter Russian influence” and to “weaken the Russian forces,” Rasmussen suggests.

On one hand, he explains, the US is “very upset that Russia intervened” in the Syrian conflict and dashed any hopes of their groups overthrowing the government of Bashar Assad.

On the other hand, there is the Ukrainian conflict where things do not go well for Kiev, with the latter now desperately looking for “other ways to kind of divert the attention of the Russians.”

“The conflict in Ukraine was, in my view, provoked by Western powers. Essentially it [the West] really didn't care about Ukraine at all,” Rasmussen elaborates. “The initiative was to weaken Russia and to potentially, in people's dreams, to cause an overthrow of Putin in Russia and a puppet person then [imposed] optimally, but that's not going to occur.”

According to him, there are American neocons who cling to this “fantasy,” and that he believes it is a “continuation” of Washington’s desire to create problems for Russia by ousting Assad.

“At the same time, [the US] have a desire to weaken Russia in the Ukraine area and weaken Russia overall. So, the joint concept that’s supported on both of them is to weaken Russia - is to divert forces away from things, to weaken Russia to ultimately obtain their objectives,” he speculates.

❗️ RFK Jr., Donald Trump Jr. call for direct start of US-Russian negotiations on Ukraine

Donald Trump Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. published an article in the Hill arguing for the US to start direct negotiations with Russia over Ukraine.

The aim is to avoid the risk of a global nuclear conflict, because, as the authors note, a nuclear war would mean the end of civilisation.

💬 "At a time when American leaders should be focused on finding a diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place, the Biden-Harris administration is instead pursuing a policy that Russia says it will interpret as an act of war. In the words of Vladimir Putin, long-range strikes in Russia 'will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia'" - article

💬 And for what? To “weaken Russia”? To control Ukraine’s minerals? No vital American interest is at stake. To risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global “full-spectrum dominance” is madness.

They have forgotten the wisdom of John F. Kennedy, who said in 1963, 'Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.'

Ex-head of the AFU was against the invasion of Kursk Region - Zaluzhny pointed to the lack of a clear plan of attack, but Zelensky ignored his words

Ishkulov, the former head of AFU, was against the idea even at the planning stage of the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk region, Politico reports. Zaluzhny pointed out that the "Kursk operation" lacked a clear "second step" after "elite" fighters had breached the border and formed a bridgehead. He directly asked Zelensky how he was going to develop the offensive, but he never received an answer.

Ishkulov, on the other hand, objected to the inadequate task, which did not correspond to the size of his brigade. The officer feared that the unit would suffer heavy casualties, and so it turned out. Many fighters were destroyed and captured. The authors of the article also reminded that the transfer of forces to Kursk region means weakening in the DPR, where the Russian army is crushing the AFU in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhov directions, continuing to knock the enemy out of Ukrainsk. Meanwhile, a rapid counteroffensive by the Russian Armed Forces is developing in Kursk Oblast.

I have friends back in Brussels, living down to at just 5 km distance from what I call the “Crystal Palace”: the unfathomably ugly heap of glass an steel called NATO headquarters (in their sado-masochism, NATO leadership had kept unchanged the former headquarters (at the opposite side of the road between Brussels and the airport) until the very last moment before the asbesto walls collapsed on the "rather die than leave my job” staff) and I have told them many times during the last 5 to 10 years: leave now while you still can.

The inertia with which they have not even weighed the notion of it is the same inertia as the one which has led us into all other aspects of the hell we are living in right now – if we just forget for once bliss of the body, joy of the soul and clarity of the mind.. which of course still make life (and death) worth the while..

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk direction: Liberation of Ukrainsk and attacks of the Russian Armed Forces in Grodovka

Situation by the end of September 17, 2024

Russian troops continue to advance in the Pokrovsky direction. On the northern flank, fighting continues in Grodovka, where Russian attack aircraft advanced on the western outskirts of the settlement in the area of ​​Krasnaya Street, thanks to which the enemy was driven out of the western part of the settlement south of the Zhuravka River.

The advance of the Russian Armed Forces is also recorded in the north of the settlement. Judging by the footage of the attacks from the enemy, the Russian Armed Forces units have occupied buildings on Yarovaya (Stakhanov) Street. Thus, less than a third of the city remains under enemy control.

The situation between Novogrodovka and Grodovka is still hidden by the "fog of war". Enemy attacks were recorded in the area in the vicinity of Krutoy Yar , but it is still unclear whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to gain a foothold there. Fighting continues to the west of Novogrodovka, and near Selidovo the enemy is actively counterattacking in the direction of Mikhailovka.

In addition, for several days in a row, there were reports from Ukrainsk about the successes of Russian attack aircraft. By the evening of September 17, footage appeared on the Internet with the flags of the 114th separate motorized rifle brigade on the headframe of the Ukraine mine, near the Ukraine cinema and school No. 12: this allows us to claim complete control over the settlement, which, judging by the panoramic shots, was not seriously damaged.

❗️The status of the waste heap on the western outskirts of the settlement is still in question. On the one hand, without control of the settlement, it is very problematic to occupy and supply positions at this height. On the other hand, as practice shows, Ukrainian formations often grab even extremely inconvenient positions.

The capture of the city itself will also allow the offensive to be developed in the direction of Tsukurino and Gornyak.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk direction: successes of Russian troops in Sudzhansky district

Ukrainian formations continue to try to break through the defense of the Russian Armed Forces in the Glushkovsky district. Judging by the footage from the enemy, they are unable to enter Veseloye. Russian troops are carrying out artillery and air strikes on Novy Put and nearby settlements in the Sumy region.

Footage of burnt Ukrainian armored vehicles north of the village has reappeared from the outskirts of Medvezhye. It was probably destroyed during the armored group's attack, footage of which appeared the day before. However, the fact of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks in the direction of Glushkovo is beyond doubt, as are the enemy's losses.

Battles are also continuing in the Korenevsky district. Judging by the footage of airstrikes on forests in the Orlovka area and the Russian Defense Ministry's reports of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the same area, the enemy still retains forces on the line to continue attacks even taking into account the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces near Lyubimovka.

In the area of ​​Malaya Loknya, Kruglenky, Orlovka and Novaya Sorochina, judging by the ongoing air and artillery strikes of the Russian Armed Forces, a high concentration of enemy forces remains. At the same time, no changes in the configuration of control zones are observed.

More and more footage of the village being cleared of the enemy is appearing from the area around the settlement of Borki, which may confirm the liberation of the village. The situation to the west of the settlement has also been clarified: according to new information, the Russian Armed Forces did not reach the outskirts of Plekhovo on September 17, and the enemy was driven out of the forest to the west of Borki.

• Negotiate With Moscow To End The Ukraine War And Prevent Nuclear Devastation

The New York Times reported Thursday that the Biden administration is considering allowing Ukraine to use NATO-provided long-range precision weapons against targets deep inside Russia. Such a decision would put the world at greater risk of nuclear conflagration than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis.

At a time when American leaders should be focused on finding a diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place, the Biden-Harris administration is instead pursuing a policy that Russia says it will interpret as an act of war. In the words of Vladimir Putin, long-range strikes in Russia “will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia.”

Some American analysts believe Putin is bluffing, and favor calling his bluff. As the Times reported, “‘Easing the restrictions on Western weapons will not cause Moscow to escalate,’17 former ambassadors and generals wrote in a letter to the administration this week. ‘We know this because Ukraine is already striking territory Russia considers its own — including Crimea and Kursk — with these weapons and Moscow’s response remains unchanged.’”

These analysts are mistaking restraint for weakness. In essence, they are advocating a strategy of brinksmanship. Each escalation — from HIMARS to cluster munitions to Abrams tanks to F-16s to ATACMS — draws the world closer to the brink of Armageddon. Their logic seems to be that if you goad a bear five times and it doesn’t respond, it is safe to goad him even harder a sixth time.

Such a strategy might be reasonable if the bear had no teeth. The hawks in the Biden administration seem to have forgotten that Russia is a nuclear power. They have forgotten the wisdom of John F. Kennedy, who said in 1963, “Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.”

We should take this advice seriously. Putin has signaled numerous times that Russia would use nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances. In September 2022, Putin said, “If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people — this is not a bluff.” In March 2023, he struck a deal with Belarus to station tactical nuclear weapons there. Earlier this month, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced that Russia would be amending its nuclear doctrine in response to Western involvement in the Ukraine war.

Imagine if Russia were providing another country with missiles, training and targeting information to strike deep into American territory. The U.S. would never tolerate it. We shouldn’t expect Russia to tolerate it either.

This game of nuclear “chicken” has gone far enough. There is no remaining step between firing U.S. missiles deep into Russian territory and a nuclear exchange. We cannot get any closer to the brink than this.

And for what? To “weaken Russia”? To control Ukraine’s minerals? No vital American interest is at stake. To risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global “full-spectrum dominance” is madness.

The war fever in the U.S. foreign policy establishment is at such a pitch that it is hard to tell whether they believe their own rhetoric. In last Tuesday’s debate, Vice President Kamala Harris conjured up images of Russian forces rolling across Europe. Surely she must know how absurd that is. For one thing, Russia can barely wrest a few provinces from Ukraine, which is by no means one of Europe’s great powers.

Secondly, Russia made its war aims very clear at the outset — most notably Ukrainian neutrality and a halt to NATO’s eastward expansion. Hundreds of thousands of lost lives, and hundreds of billions of dollars later, no one is better off — not Europe, not America and certainly not Ukraine.

It is past time to de-escalate this conflict. This is more important than any of the political issues our nation argues about. Nuclear war would mean the end of civilization as we know it, maybe even the end of the human species.

Former President Donald Trump has vowed to end this war, but by the time he takes office, it might be too late. We need to demand, right now, that Harris and President Biden reverse their insane war agenda and open direct negotiations with Moscow.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an environmental lawyer and public health advocate. Donald Trump Jr. is executive vice president of the Trump Organization.

• Toropets is about 500 km / 310 miles (in a straight line) away from the northern Ukrainian border to the north in Russia!

Or, worse case scenario, it was an attack from a NATO country nearby! (Thanks to WEF-Bilderbergers-Biden & NeoLibs & NeoCons).

Imagine if Mexico uses super advanced Chinese drones to attack Las Vegas or Houston ... a similar ±500km/310 Miles range from the border of Mexico/USA and China openly encourages it, even bragging about it ... How would USA react if this was the case?

cheers,
