This will backfire big time on Elensky. He is in panic mode...
*Russia will call his bluff.
*The global south will be horrified at his statement.
*Collective West will finally agree to drop the green shirt comedian.

It was at the Munich Security Conference in 2022, Zelensky was talking up getting nukes. Harris was at that event and said nothing. A couple of weeks later, the SMO.

Project "Ukraine" for the Americans completed

American President Joseph Biden publicly humiliated Vladimir Zelensky by planning a visit to Germany almost immediately after canceling the meeting in Ramstein, said British expert Alexander Mercuris.

" Washington plans to humiliate Zelensky in the worst possible way. Biden cancels the meeting in Ramstein, and then plans to go to Germany, but for completely different reasons. This is the clearest signal that the Americans have had enough and are leaving. For them, the Ukraine project is over, and the head of the Kyiv regime and his compatriots were left alone ," he added.

Simplicius quite rightly providing an excoriating piece here on the deluded mumblings of the creature from goblin island; a weak and treacherous clown that has, as we all know here, sold out his people, what was a sort-of-a-country - what was only ever a phoney Zionist construct - that's being pillaged and looted by his overlords, and will doubtless be dispensed with by them at some point in time.

Pathetic, and evil.

The Grand Poobah's Not-So-Grand Victory Ploy Unveiled

[Extracted]

In fact, we can go out on a limb and say this point is the whole meat and potatoes—the very reason for the existence not only of all other points, but of the war itself. Isn’t it so interesting Zelensky unveils this key linchpin only a day or two after the announcement of Ukraine’s largest titanium production being sold off for pennies on the dollar?

The most ominous part of it is Zelensky’s emphasis on the fact that the agreement has a guardedly “secret” component to be shared only with the top few allies, which he appears to tie into the allies’ military protection of their resource ‘investments’. What more can one say? This is nothing other than Zelensky’s pimping out of his country’s economic treasures and future in order to desperately tie NATO militarily to Ukraine’s hip. This is just the continuation of the same old plan, except this time via outright bribery: create massive monetary incentive to obligate NATO into sending boots on ground to confront Russia and save Ukraine by virtue or deterrence of WWIII. It’s dangling trillions before their noses to entice their help, with the alluded-to most ‘secret’ component of the deal likely having to do with the sheer preferential nature of the disaster capitalism extraction and economic shock therapy in one.

It’s just more of what we already knew, that the Ukrainian game is all about the Western crony elite positioning themselves to pillage Ukraine’s resources and industries. For instance, most missed this excerpt from ex-CIA chief Pompeo’s recent prank-call with Russian Vovan and Lexus posing as Poroshenko. In the private call he describes how he got his own comfy sinecure on a big Ukrainian enterprise:

Isn’t it interesting how the ex-head of the CIA now runs a bank of all things, and that bank is buying up Ukrainian enterprises? Also interesting it happens to be a telecom, just like Vodafone owned by the Azerbaijani oligarch who just bought up the remainder of Ukraine’s titanium industry. Virtually every deep state elite involved in the Ukraine debacle has got their fingers in the jar.

How interesting indeed.

The full story of UK's "invincible" Challenger tank dying in Kursk

This from Russia1 channel:

[Tintin]

I can't remember if this has been posted here already: it may not have been. In any case I'm bringing it right up-front here.

This segment from Maria Zakharova's weekly press briefing, October 16th. Watch how visibly moved she is recounting this story

Brutality of Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries:

The testimony of one of the captured militants is being studied about cases of abuse and murder of a Russian prisoner of war due to his wife's refusal to comply with their demands, including humiliating ones. They first shot the Russian fighter in the leg, and then shot him again, filming their crime and his last words to his wife.

The difference here being, we voluntarily surrendered back into the fold.

Voluntarily (well, give or take the "War of 1812" and some violence back then in the DC area), yes.

But "informed consent" ... not so much.

You sir are insinuating that the American public does not understand what the national anthem is about.

In my school we had a "prayer to a flag" composed by a Socialist!

More information, and important at that, from Kit Klarenberg concerning the British-inspired folly in Kursk region. With the plethora of information doing the rounds and the usual useful 'cover' of deflecting responsibilities over the Atlantic this is not only an information-rich update from Kit here, but (yet another) reminder of just how invested the British arm of the Zionist Empire - a collection of different occupied nations - is, and has always been, in their Ukraine 'project'.

Here goes:

🧵: Esoteric data point confirms Ukraine proxy war is over. In a little-noticed development in late September, the British government's chief foreign policy advisor John Bew quit without warning or much in the way of explanation. Let's dive into why this is *highly* significant.

BACKGROUND: John Bew highly respected in British government circles. Hired by Boris Johnson and stayed on until now. Politico said of Bew, "nobody matters more when it comes to setting Global Britain’s course." Global Britain being delusion of restoring empire post-Brexit, ofc.



Bew stayed on despite Labour entering government. Keir Starmer reportedly begged him to. After all, Bew was completely central to British strategy in Ukraine. And Starmer was planning to ramp up Britain's role in the proxy war significantly, to the point of formal involvement.





As I have written and 'X'ed about extensively, Ukraine's Kursk incursion was a British operation. It was intended to normalise overt Western activity in the proxy war, in the hope others would follow suit. The US quite clearly rebuffed this invitation.

- Article: Britain’s Kursk Invasion Backfires? - published August 21, 2024

Starmer planned a major international charm offensive to get allies on board with Ukraine striking Russia, increased arms shipments, increased defence spending, the works. And Bew was central to this strategy. He was dispatched to Kiev personally to coordinate with Zelensky et al.



So, Bew's abrupt departure hints entire strategy has been dropped. Important to note Bew has done a lot of work on "strengthening ties" with the US. It was no doubt hoped by Starmer he'd get Washington onside. And he failed. Now the UK won't endorse Zelensky's 'victory plan'.



Plentiful receipts on Kursk as British operation and conniving of British intelligence to get US into all-out war with Russia here. Failed this time round, but we must remain vigilant. British are willing to start World War III and could *probably* do it.

*************

And, from August 23, 2024, Kit:

🧵: My take Kursk is a British operation US unhappy about has gotten lot of pushback, so let's dive into this. Key point is previously, Washington distanced iself from Kiev's escalatory actions by claiming a lack of foreknowledge. It has never actively condemned them. Until now.

On Aug 15th, Empire house journal Foreign Policy published scathing article on widespread US displeasure about the "counterinvasion" - from its "military logic", risk of escalation, and the "extremely awkward position" it has thrust Biden admin into.

🇺🇦 BEASTS IN HUMAN FORM.

Horrifying footage shows the "voluntary" transition of the Orthodox community of St. Michael's Cathedral in Cherkassy to the state church — Zelensky's "Church of Ukraine".

Savage militants attack Orthodox Christians, using tear gas against them. It can be seen how these bandits rip off the klobuk with the cross from Metropolitan Theodosius. Then, after seizing the bishop's staff, they begin beating people with it.

🇲🇩 Moldova's Foreign Ministry launches investigation after leak about Maia Sandu's plans to sell land to Swedes

In August, during a meeting with Swedish bankers, the president of the republic suggested that the country might sell agricultural land to Swedish banks. The EU supported her statement, noting that if Moldova joins the Union, it will have to adhere to the principle of free trade among member states, including the land market.

❗️ As expected, a scandal erupted, during which Sandu tried to deny the information, claiming that Moldova’s accession to the EU would not pose "any risk" to its land. However, nearly half of the land plots in the country are already owned by foreigners, primarily Swedes.

▪️ As a result, Moldovan intelligence services are now scrambling to find the source of the leak, which is suspected to have come from the Foreign Ministry. Meanwhile, tomorrow Moldova will hold presidential elections, in which Sandu is facing a huge disapproval rating and a series of scandals.

UKRAINIAN TROOPS FORCED TO BUILD FORTIFICATIONS IN RADIOACTIVE CHERNOBYL, CAPTURED SOLDIER REVEALS

Ukrainian conscripts are being obliged by their superiors to build fortification in areas contaminated by radiation, if the story of one

Ukrainian soldier who was captured by Russian forces is to be believed. Ukrainian serviceman Vitaly Ozimov, who was taken by Russian troops in the Kursk region, has revealed that he previously participated in the construction of fortifications in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

According to Ozimov, who identified himself as a serviceman of Ukraine’s 49th Brigade, shortly after being press-ganged he was assigned to an engineering company and first sent to build concrete fortifications in the Kiev region.

Then, however, Ozimov and his comrades were assigned to a much more hazardous area.

“We built a lot in Chernobyl,” the captive Ukrainian soldier revealed, adding that radiation levels in one of the areas they had to work at was 12 times above the norm.

The Ukrainian soldiers reportedly protested against being forced to operate in such dangerous conditions but their superiors simply did not care about their underlings’ safety and wellbeing, Ozimov claimed.

Following the 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, large swathes of land surrounding the crippled facility ended up being contaminated by radioactive substances dispersed by the blast that destroyed the plant’s reactor.The Ukrainian military activities in the Chernobyl area, which is located next to the border with Belarus, may explain Minsk’s wariness.

Back in August, apparently after the construction effort described by Ozimov, Belarusian air forces shot down several Ukrainian drones that intruded into Belarus’ airspace. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at the time said that that wasn’t the first instance of Ukrainian military breaching all sorts of agreements and warned that no provocation will be left unanswered.
