    Putin is buddies with the Chabad mafia so it aint surprising . Im still inclined to believe that Putin is just playing his roll in this global theatre
    I know its an unpopular opinion in here but its still something to consider.
    Well, I wouldn't be quite so sure about that. Notso much unpopular as inaccurate in neglecting the zeitgeist. What he is doing, in simple parlance, is throwing a (very large) 'spanner in the works', as we say in the Anglo-sphere

    When you've been in service to your country for close on 6 decades you're going to come across all sorts of folks along the way, including the execrable Chabad sect: sometimes you have to shake hands with the devil as a part of the art of diplomacy.

    As the map can attest to, observing what is currently going on in that part of Russia (formerly Ukraine) rather puts paid to the notion that he's in league with them, least of all doing their bidding

    As an aside:
    с днем ​​рождения президент путин!

    Okay, I know I should just research this myself, however this 'Chabad' topic has been raised on this thread a few times already, so it might be a good idea to post on this thread some info on:

    1- What is Chabad? Or Chabad Lubavitch? How widespread around the world is it, or is it concentrated in certain areas?
    2- Are there connections between Chabad, Ukraine and zionist Israel?

    That would make it a "grabby" type of post.

    Moreover, to say something unpopular, Henry Makow is "inaccurate". When this shows up as a source, we are either being misled, or, doing do intentionally. I personally quit refuting it years ago as I thought it didn't need more energy. If it is in a pile of "more" that may be "inaccurate", none too surprising.


    The connections are too many and too large to simply sum up.

    In the early twentieth century, Ukraine was Yiddish speaking in some cities.

    The Israeli perspective is that Russia "lies" by complaining about modern imperialism since the Russian Empire smashed the Jews.

    Ukraine certainly provided *a lot* of the Israeli population around the WWII era, *and now again* since the "Russian invasion", thousands have gone to Israel. So, yes, it's kind of a big deal, to the extent you could call Zion, Little Ukraine. Catch the Aliyah Express.

    If Ukraine and some similar places are not "countries" in the normal sense of the word, that is because they have mostly been consumed within the borders of some empire or another for a long time without ever showing much of an independent stature. In the main, you can identify three very different powers, Catholic Poland-Lithuania, Protestant Sweden, and Orthodox Russia. The root of most of this lies in the Second Division of the Pale, which took a large section out of Poland into Russia, the heavily-Jewish Ukrainian area. Russia itself did not want to take on this territory. Due to unrelated reasons, overnight they suddenly have millions of Jews.

    In the objective sense, in terms of numbers and places, I think that has more momentum than other regions. Understanding the full embroilment and how to handle some difficult aspects of human behavior is not that simple.

    What follows is very condensed, to the point of near-absurdity - for which I apologize.

    From my perspective it is an error to reduce the Russia-Ukr-NATO/West conflict to the level of any particular interest group (religious, ethnic, financial or whatever), or to geopolitical considerations (whether national or globalist), or to personal corruption - or any other this-worldly and materialist factor. All of these are partially true, but none make sense without many auxiliary hypotheses to explain obvious contradictions.

    So long as discussion proceeds at the level of trying to discover which human group is ultimately to blame and why - then we have fallen into a trap.

    I think matters are far deeper and more dangerous, because the impulse behind this conflict is literally demonic, therefore "supernatural" - and these demonic powers "use" all the above groupings for their purposes, as is expedient.

    Some human individuals and groups are much more corrupted and susceptible to the agenda of evil than are others; and some groups are more powerful than others - which is one reason the situation is so apparently complex. Yet all human groups are ultimately being used, they are not the origin of the evil agenda (an agenda which extends across multiple generations). As soon as any group becomes an obstacle to the real (spiritual) agenda of evil, that group will be abandoned and may be annihilated. (This abandonment has already happened to "the proletariat", and is currently happening to "feminism".)

    The complexity arises from a spiritual goal being explained in material terms. For instance, although the demonic powers desire the destruction of humans (i.e. to kill people), this desired destruction is primarily spiritual rather than in terms of biological death - so it is desired that those who die do so with (false, sinful) motivations - in order that their post-mortal souls be recruited to the causes of evil. For instance the demons desire that humans should die while consumed with spiteful resentment, or in utter despair.

    It would be trivially easy for the world powers to kill billions of the world population (eg by poisoning, starvation etc), but the spiritual agenda is that those who die ought to do so in a state of spiritual corruption. As spiritual corruption spreads, so the agenda for mass death has become stronger - but the spiritual agenda came first and is the priority.

    Yes, and absolutely, yes

    It's a point I so often stress is the overarching driver behind these crises in any dialogue with anybody, which are, conceivably, by definition almost, not necessarily of our making although we are manipulated into effecting.

    All too often one tires of hearing "It's all about the oil!", "It's all about the lithium!", "It's all about the money - problem solved!" No, it isn't ALL about those, at all. It's an infantile availability heuristic being employed there which plagues commentators, mouthpieces, 'influencers' in the so-called "Alternative" community as well. They need a good *slap on the bum some of them

    The spiritual dammit; the spiritual!, and however one understands that

    (*By the way, and just putting out feelers: Do we need a bum spanking emoji for our library now too? )

    "The article concludes with the groping sentiment that Russia can only be forced into these demands if Russia feels the costs of the war have become too high. This could not be a more preposterously frivolous idea. Russia has shown nothing other than iron-clad determination for total victory, with its economy going to a war-footing, particularly with next year’s mass defense spending surges, and its population—which includes previously frayed elites—increasingly patriotic. Any inconvenient ‘thorn’ Ukraine manages to rib into Russia’s side only amplifies Russia’s resoluteness and solidarity. There is no possible event that can even conceivably cause Russia to decide “enough is enough, we must back down”."

    Extract:

    (On Lavrov's most recent comments)
    But the final segment is the most important. Lavrov for the first time finally clearly enunciates Russia’s explicit demands for ending the conflict via ceasefire. For all those wondering amidst the hazy rumors and stitched-together partial statements, here it is, finally in unvarnished form—Russia’s concrete demands for the settlement of the conflict as of this present time:

    Lavrov: Our position is widely known and remains unchanged. Russia is open to a politico-diplomatic settlement that should remove the root causes of the crisis. It should aim to end the conflict rather than achieve a ceasefire. The West should stop supplying weapons, and Kiev should end the hostilities. Ukraine should return to its neutral, non-bloc and non-nuclear status, protect the Russian language, and respect the rights and freedoms of its citizens.

    The Istanbul Agreements initialed on 29 March 2022 by the Russian and Ukrainian delegations could serve as a basis for the settlement. They provide for Kiev's refusal to join NATO and contain security guarantees for Ukraine while recognizing the realities on the ground at that moment. Needless to say, in over two years, these realities have considerably changed, including in legal terms.

    On 14 June, President Vladimir Putin listed prerequisites for the settlement as follows: complete AFU withdrawal from the DPR [Donetsk People's Republic], LPR [Luhansk People's Republic], Zaporozhye and Kherson Oblasts; recognition of territorial realities as enshrined in the Russian Constitution; neutral, non-bloc, non-nuclear status for Ukraine; its demilitarization and denazification; securing the rights, freedoms and interests of Russian-speaking citizens; and removal of all sanctions against Russia

    *******

    There, I'd say, is a crystal clear unambiguous position

    Diana Panchenko here with one of her almost monthly and succinct updates covers the whining green narco-fuhrer's usurpation of the Ukrainian constitution. All historically evidenced and well known within Ukraine of course. But, who dare challenge it? As Diana regularly reminds viewers via her X channel: the people are afraid and a fair few have gone 'missing' daring to protest.

    Yup, very 'democratic'

    Under threat of extermination even she had to relocate, and to Dubai I think, although she has her finger very much on the pulse on events going on in Ukraine:

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Netherlands have supplied Ukraine with the first batch of F-16 fighter jets out of the 24 pledged in 2023, with the remaining ones to be delivered in the coming months, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans said on Sunday.

    "For the first time, I can officially announce that the first Dutch F-16s have been delivered to Ukraine ... The rest of the 24 jets will follow in the coming months," Brekelmans wrote on X following his trip to Kiev and Kharkov.

    It was previously reported that the Royal Netherlands Air Force would retire all of its aging F-16 fighter jets and replace them with newer F-35s. The old F-16s, which The Hague had decided to donate to Ukraine, were part of this transition. In total, the country has pledged to send 24 F-16s to Kiev, although the Dutch authorities have not disclosed how many of these aircraft have been delivered so far.

    The Dutch Ministry of Defense also planned to send 18 of these jets to a training center in Romania, where Ukrainian pilots would learn how to operate F-16s.

    Russia views the supply of arms to Ukraine as an obstacle to resolution, stating that it directly involves NATO countries in the conflict and is "playing with fire." The Kremlin has asserted that the West's armament of Ukraine hinders negotiations and will have a negative impact.

    VIENNA (Sputnik) - Russian authorities are compiling lists of names of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine, an unenviable fate awaits them, Yulia Zhdanova, acting head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, said in an interview with Sputnik.

    "Russian competent authorities are keeping the issue of foreign fighters' participation in the terrorist attack [in the Kursk region] under close control, including compiling lists of names of fighters and recording their crimes. An unenviable fate awaits them. Many are being destroyed by Russian troops as legitimate military targets," Zhdanova said.

    Since the beginning of the special operation, at least 785 mercenaries who took part in the fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had been brought to criminal responsibility, she added.

    WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Financial Times editorial board said in an op-ed published on Monday that there are secret talks allegedly mulling the idea of Ukraine giving up land that Russia gained in the conflict in exchange for Kiev being allowed to have certain NATO-like security guarantees.

    "There is talk behind closed doors of a deal in which Moscow retains de facto control over the roughly one-fifth of Ukraine it has occupied - though Russia’s sovereignty is not recognized - while the rest of the country is allowed to join NATO or given equivalent security guarantees," the board said.

    Under this deal, Ukraine could rebuild and integrate with the European Union, according to the board.

    Ukrainian officials have reportedly acknowledged in private that they lack the manpower, weapons and Western support to recover all territory seized by Russia in the conflict.

    The report also said Ukraine's allies have been distracted by the escalating tensions in the Middle East, and a potential Trump presidency may also slow the amount of security assistance making its way to Ukraine under the Biden administration.

    The Financial Times editorial board further urged President Joe Biden and his European allies to bolster Ukraine's security as much as possible over the next three months in case former President Donald Trump wins the presidential election in November and has plans to cut aid to Ukraine.

    Russia's special military operation was launched with the objective to liberate the Donbass region as residents in the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under constant attacks by Ukrainian forces. In the months that followed the launch, residents in the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions voted to join Russia.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin previously stated that his conditions for a resumption of peace talks with Ukraine includes the full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the four specified regions and a formal renunciation by Kiev of its plans to join the NATO military bloc.

    Naryshkin: MI-6 trained Ukrainian saboteurs for provocations at nuclear power plants

    Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, American intelligence has been transmitting information to Kyiv to carry out strikes on civilian infrastructure in the Russian Federation, said Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). According to him, the participation of the British MI-6 in training Ukrainian saboteurs for provocations at nuclear power plants has been confirmed.

    Mr. Naryshkin noted that since March, American reconnaissance satellites have “significantly stepped up high-detail photography in Russian territories bordering Ukraine.” The United States has paid special attention to monitoring the situation in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, the SVR director specified.

    “The US and its NATO allies are actively condoning Kiev’s criminal line and bear no less responsibility for the deaths of civilians and the destruction of infrastructure,” said Sergei Naryshkin at the 55th meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS Member States (quoted from the SVR website ).

    The head of the SVR stated that, according to available information, the British MI-6, together with the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, were preparing an operation to blow up the power lines connecting nuclear power plants in Russia with the national energy system. He noted that the plan for a terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) on the Kursk region included the seizure and mining of the Kursk NPP. "If this plan had been implemented, Europe would have faced an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe comparable to Chernobyl," Mr. Naryshkin emphasized.

    In the Kursk region, fighting with the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been ongoing since August 6. The region is under a counter-terrorism operation and a state of emergency. At the end of the summer, "in order to ensure additional security measures," entry into the city of Kurchatov, where the Kursk NPP is located, was restricted. Registered residents can freely enter the city, while others must obtain a pass. In mid-September, the authorities decided to restrict transit traffic through the NPP industrial zone.

    Very interesting. The Duran team discuss the latest repositioning of Ukraine's military forces in Donbas.
    Also, a theory on how the west persuaded Zelensky to reject Russia's offer in March 2022.

    Cauldrons in Donbass. Zelensky buying time, hopes US enters conflict

    ECHR dangerous threat to soldiers


    Segment about 8 minutes: 24:10-33:07
    SAS Veterans: Government must exempt soldiers from Human Rights prosecutions

    A little off topic but still relevant to the theme of war and defence.

    That this has been raised by ex soldiers is surely an admission of atrocities committed by our military under the guise of defence? You'd think "acceptable" military action is covered under the Geneva Convention but it seems they're concerned that their actions might come back to bite them on the backside at some later stage.

    A step in the wrong direction imo, which would mean barbaric acts as those at My Lai (Vietnam) and the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib (Iraq) could go unpunished in future.

    🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺😡❗️For refusing to take intimate photos: the Ukrainian military killed a captured Russian soldier and sent the video to his wife.

    About the use of torture by the soldiers of the AFU told the Ukrainian Sergey Surozh, who surrendered near Suzha.

    "They took the phone from the Russian fighter and started sending voice messages to his wife, demanding naked photos. When she refused, they shot him in the leg and sent the picture with the comment: 'It's because of you'. Then they asked for intimate photos again, and the woman again refused. In the end, they shot the prisoner and filmed it: he says goodbye to his wife, tells her about love, and then a shot is heard. What the Ukrainian soldiers are doing is unbelievable," said the Ukrainian prisoner.
