    Russia Blames the U.S. for Ukraine’s Latest Attack — Tensions Rise Fast | John Mearsheimer

    Unconventional Toughs

    _ Red Lines: The West has NONE respect, but that was to expect...

    _ Russia resilient and relative calm has all the planet astonished..., but gained admiration and respect from non west world and more hate from west...because they are impotent...

    _ BUT, when the Engel air base ( I don't remember the exact name...) where strategic bombers were stationed was attacked then sound all the red bulbs in my alarm system...

    _ Then came various BIG radars systems deep in Russia territory, controllers from all the sky directions...

    _ Those actions dint provide any advantage for Ukros forces, but photos ops and media publicity. BUT those weapons weren't from Ukros but the WEST...and ALL the logistic, satellite navigation,etc ...

    _MEANING: the U.S. and chihuahuas helper are testing Russia defenses for the REAL WAR! that it seems they ardently wanted...

    Now, here we enter the Unknown Dimension...

    _ This is far away from any Humanity illness...

    Russia has all the means to destroy U.S. and Europe many times...and self to loose at least big city's... don't make any sense...(IF you are human...)

    And to add to the mix : the clock ticking for the next Micro-nova, Poles Shift.etc...

    Why the hurry now? unless ...peak your "alternative conspirator theory"

    _ Breakaway civilization stuff
    _ NON human intervention
    _ Satanic stuff
    _ Whatever evil...

    "What Politico dresses up as geopolitical intrigue is actually a confession of EU derangement. The EU are trying to engineer the largest state-sanctioned theft of sovereign wealth in modern history, a direct raid on the Russian Central Bank’s reserves and expected applause, unity, and moral ecstasy. Instead, Belgium asked the only sane question left in Europe: “Are you all completely out of your minds?”
    ---------------------------

    Commentary from The Islander on X, and quite frankly, well over the target
    The great farce of late-imperial Europe is that every time Brussels stumbles into another historic blunder of its own making, it immediately searches for a foreign hand to blame. And so the EU’s court chronicler, Politico, delivers its latest fever dream: that Belgium, the most indecisive, over-medicated country in the bloc, has somehow transformed into “Russia’s most valuable asset.” In reality, the only asset Russia needed was the EU’s own arrogance.

    Belgium merely did the unthinkable, it told the truth.

    What Politico dresses up as geopolitical intrigue is actually a confession of EU derangement. The EU are trying to engineer the largest state-sanctioned theft of sovereign wealth in modern history, a direct raid on the Russian Central Bank’s reserves and expected applause, unity, and moral ecstasy. Instead, Belgium asked the only sane question left in Europe: “Are you all completely out of your minds?” For this, Politico paints De Wever as eccentric, impulsive, unstable, the same labels always deployed when someone refuses to bow to the imperial autopilot. But the deeper scandal is that Brussels expected him to sign off on detonating the post-war financial order for the sake of one more photo-op with Zelensky.

    Politico can hide behind metaphors of summit dinners and langoustines, but the legal reality is brutal: raiding another nation’s central bank is not a policy disagreement. It is a declaration of financial war on the entire world. It would obliterate sovereign immunity, destroy the neutrality of reserve holdings, and instantly signal to the global South that their assets in EU banks are hostage to EU’s emotional spasms. One act, one reckless stroke of a pen, and the euro collapses as a safe currency, capital flees to Asia, and the West loses its last functional pillar of power. Belgium saw the cliff’s edge, Brussels mistook it for a (perverse) moral leap of faith.

    Politico’s narrative stumbles further when it pretends the only danger lies in Moscow’s retaliation. It does not. Russia’s symmetric countermeasures are well-known, lawful, and devastating: nationalization of Western corporate assets, seizure of industrial infrastructure, liquidation of bond holdings, and the dismantling of Western financial footprints inside Russia. The value of Western assets exposed inside the Russian Federation rivals what sits in Euroclear. Brussels knows this. Euroclear knows this. Investors know this. Only the EU pretends the ledger is irrelevant. But the real threat is not Russia’s response , it is the irreversible collapse of trust in Western custodianship. Once the EU steals central bank reserves, no nation with self-respect will ever again store wealth in Europe. The theft of Russian reserves would be remembered not as an isolated act, but as the day the West proved it cannot be trusted with global money, let alone soverign assets.

    This is the part Politico is terrified to articulate. Belgium wasn’t protecting Russia. Belgium is trying to protect the very system the EU purports to defend. Yet instead of portraying De Wever as the only adult in the room, Politico stages a melodrama about a Flemish nationalist gone rogue, supposedly spoiling the EU’s grandiose plan to hurl another €140 billion onto the Ukrainian funeral pyre. The reality is simpler, Belgium refused to mortgage its own future so Europe could continue its cosplay as a geopolitical superpower utterly detached from material reality. The EU elite wanted to play empire with someone else’s risk. Belgium refused to be the guarantor of their delusion.

    1/2 — part 2 👇
    What makes Politico’s narrative even more absurd is that it accidentally reveals the deeper rot, Europe's elite caste are incapable of unity, incapable of strategic thought, incapable of honesty. Merz shoots from the hip. Von der Leyen improvises legal fantasies. Orbán holds a veto the size of a continental fault line. Trump instinctively knows he needs an offramp via peace talks and is happy to download project Ukraine's corpse along with the humiliation onto Western Europe. Zelensky arrives in Brussels begging for cash while European governments fight over whether the money should be spent on their own weapons factories. This is not a union. This is a collective suicide pact.

    And through all this chaos, Politico clings to the illusion that Russia must somehow be “laughing.” But Russia isn’t laughing. Russia is watching.
    Watching as Europe destroys its own energy security, its own industrial base, its own strategic autonomy, its own diplomatic credibility, its own financial reputation, and finally — with this proposed asset raid, the very legal foundations of the Western economic system. If Moscow appears calm, it is because it doesn’t need to act. Europe is demolishing itself at a pace Russia could never have engineered.

    Belgium’s “no” was not an act of betrayal. It was the last flicker of European rationality. The EU’s hysteria and psychosis, not Russia, created the crisis. Europe is trying to violate international law, sabotage its own financial institutions, and torch what remains of the bygone postwar order to salvage the illusion of a war it has already lost. Belgium simply refused to join the ritual suicide.

    So let us rewrite Politico’s headline as history will record it: “How the EU Became Russia’s Greatest Strategic Gift.” Not because Russia manipulated Europe, but because Europe manipulated itself, into hysteria, into decay, into legal nihilism, into economic ruin. Belgium didn’t hand Russia an asset. It denied the EU the final act of self-destruction... for now.

    The tragic irony of the entire Politico piece is that its authors still cling to the fantasy that Europe can recover simply by shaming Belgium into compliance. But history will not be kind to this moment. When future scholars study the collapse of the Western financial empire, this attempted seizure of Russian assets and Belgium’s lonely refusal, will stand as the point where the veil fell, revealing a Europe that could no longer distinguish faux moral posturing from strategic insanity.

    Belgium didn’t break with Europe, it broke with Europe’s delusions. The EU convinced itself that tearing down the last pillars of the post-war order was an act of courage. Belgium saw it for what it was, a death rite dressed as morality. And when this era ends, when capitals move eastward, when trust evaporates, when the euro cracks under the weight of its own blind arrogance, historians will look back on this moment. They will not ask why Belgium said no. They will ask why Europe said yes.

    • NATO Preparing for Preemptive War — And Now This Leaked Call CONFIRMS It | Redacted:

    Bombshell news out of Europe today... newly leaked phone call logs show that European leaders are actively trying to thwart peace plans in Ukraine. A confidential call between European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has leaked and the German paper Der Spiegel got their hands on it... the phone call was a set up to Zelensky and they tried to warn him that the United States may betray Ukraine’s interests in upcoming peace negotiations with Russia.... basically lying to Zelensky saying the US would throw him under the bus... so go ahead and continue this war.
    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...

    Attention! manipulate or fake video!

    There is something strange with the first post from this page: John Mearsheimer video

    Today i searched for the news about this video talk about : ZERO found!

    If you go to you tube there is another image beginning from that video...where you can see clear a map from EROPE , not Europe!

    -Then when you read the comments then come:

    1_ Surprise, surprise. Mr. Mearsheimer looks younger here than on other videos at the same time. Seems that his face must have been well revitalized.

    2_ AI of course. Look at the map of "EROPE"

    3_ I think this is AI generated. There is no report of any Ukrainian attack on Russia that he is describing

    _4 I don't find any comfirmation of this attack on the web, may be AI,

    _5 Note the posted warning on this video: this is a fan made posting and IS NOT JOHN MEARSHEIMER at all. This deceptive, misleading AI crap should not be posted.

    _6 It is 100% Ai generated,

    _7 90 subscribers and AI to influence the uninformed.

    _ 8 Looks like we are being flooded with AI created fake accounts/fan channels.

    _ 9 I thought this didn’t look like John Mearsheimer. This is AI. European elites are desperate to escalate this war.

    _10 Fake account, Al slop, can’t believe people fall for this BS

    A wounded paratrooper who crawled for 47 days to reach his own people in Chasovy Yar has been rescued in Russia.





    The rescue operation for Denis Tishakov, a serviceman with the 98th Airborne Division, has been successfully completed. This was reported on the division's Telegram channel. It was emphasized that the paratrooper's life is currently not in danger.

    About this amazing story "Reporter" I told Back in November of this year, Denis Tishakov, a soldier from the 217th Airborne Regiment, was seriously wounded while attempting to carry a wounded comrade from the battlefield.

    "The paratrooper, who, like his comrade killed by a mine, was unable to receive an evacuation team due to drones, began a desperate fight for his life, categorically refusing to let the guys from the evacuation team risk their lives in an attempt to save him. "

    – reported in the Telegram channel.

    At the time of publication of this story, the Russian serviceman was making his way back to his 45th day. The rescue operation was personally overseen by the command of the 98th Division and the Commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, Mikhail Teplinsky.

    It has now been confirmed that Denis Tishakov has been rescued. He is currently in the hospital.

    It's worth noting that the 98th Airborne Division bore the brunt of the fighting for Chasov Yar. Its soldiers managed to break the enemy's resistance and completely liberate the town. The unit currently continues to carry out combat missions in the Northern Military District.

    Battle of Hulyaipole: Russian FABs destroy militant positions in residential areas -today



    Video footage has been published online showing an airstrike on several temporary deployment points of Kyiv regime militants in Huliaipole. The footage shows Russian munitions wiping out enemy positions set up in residential areas. Soldiers from the 33rd Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were reportedly hit.

    The assault on Huliaipole is currently being carried out from several directions simultaneously. Despite the fact that the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been able to deploy additional reserves to this area, it is difficult to say that the militants have succeeded in turning the situation to their advantage.

    Ukrainian military analysts acknowledge the air superiority of Russian drone operators in this area of ​​the LBS and note that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' logistical capabilities are extremely limited. Therefore, the enemy forces defending the city lack adequate supplies, significantly complicating their efforts to deter attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

    Predicting further developments, Ukrainian experts emphasize that if the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fails to reverse the situation in the near future, the militants' defenses could collapse, opening the way for Russian troops to advance deeper into the Zaporizhzhia region.

    In this case, as noted, there will be a real threat of Russian units reaching the regional center, which is the enemy’s most important logistical hub.

    Judging by reports from the field, Syrsky and his subordinates have so far failed to take any drastic measures that could change the course of the fighting. Russian troops continue to push through the enemy's defenses.

    🇷🇺 "By tomorrow morning, by the end of the week, we will take revenge. Brutally."

    Ukrainian drones struck central Grozny today, damaging a high-rise in the Akhmat Tower complex. Ramzan Kadyrov responded with fury, vowing revenge and calling on Ukrainians to overthrow Zelensky.

    Kadyrov blamed “NATO-trained terrorists” for the strike and issued a chilling threat:

    “Our targets will be only military facilities. And you will see clearly that the Chechen Republic cannot be touched— nor Russia as a whole.”

    Then he turned to the Ukrainian people:

    “You must all rise up at once. Your children are being killed.”

    “Rise up and speak your word. Zelensky is no longer your president. He’s a bandit. A devil. He is ****ing finished.”

    The attack marks a major escalation, bringing the war deep into Chechnya’s capital. Kadyrov’s response promises Chechnya will strike back, and it will be absolute.

    🇷🇺 Massive Russian strike on the Kiev region tonight

    Russian forces have launched one of the largest combined attacks in weeks, using Geran-2 kamikaze drones, Iskander ballistic missiles, and long-range aviation against targets across Ukraine.

    In the Kiev oblast, multiple strikes were recorded in and around Fastov, a key railway junction southwest of the capital. The videos show the moment of impact and the fires at local infrastructure facilities.

    Ukrainian monitoring channels report:

    — More than 150 attack drones in the air
    — Takeoffs of Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers
    — Additional strikes reported in Chernigov, Zlatopol (Kharkov region), and near Zaporozhye

    Power outages are being reported in parts of the Kiev region as emergency crews respond.

    🇷🇺 MAJOR UPDATE

    According to new flight data, a total of NINE (9) Tu-95MS strategic bombers are now airborne. All are either circling near their launch zones or actively moving toward them.

    In addition, THREE (3) Tu-160 “White Swan” bombers are also heading to their launch lines.

    POTENTIAL STRIKE SCALE:
    Each Tu-95MS can carry up to 8 Kh-101 cruise missiles.
    Each Tu-160 can carry up to 12 Kh-101.

    This puts the maximum theoretical volume at: 108 Kh-101 cruise missiles

    (The actual launch count will almost certainly be lower, but the capacity alone is extraordinary.)

    If current trajectories hold, this is shaping up to be the largest Russian missile attack of 2025, with simultaneous bomber activity on a scale not seen since late 2023–2024.

    🎼♠️ Wagner Truth 1W9 🏴‍☠🇷🇺

    A monument to the SVO fighters was unveiled in Bratsk.

    A special detail attracts attention - on the shoulder of one of the bronze soldiers, the inscription "PMC" is engraved as a tribute to the fighters of private military companies.

    A wounded paratrooper who crawled for 47 days to reach his own people in Chasovy Yar has been rescued in Russia.
    Another reason why Russia will never be defeated in battle on the ground.

    I am praying for people of EU... to rise up and open their eyes... and acknowledge that those in power above with political decisions... are just making money and keeping power for themselves...

    It seams to me that all is just actions by ziocons... US is and was empire being ruled by oligarchs for always, for ever... who have to continue their control over other nations... as they steal their resources... as always... but now US is crumbling from the inside, as thier poverty level grows day by day.. because of the greed of DC and those around them..

    DEEP DIVE: New US "National Security Strategy" is Repackaged Wolfowitz Doctrine


    The recently release 2025 US National Security Strategy is being misrepresented as a "shift" in US foreign policy, with claims the paper does not cite Russia or China as major threats and instead seeks to focus on the Western Hemisphere;

    However, the entire paper is a blueprint for not only continued confrontation with both Russia and China (as well as Iran and beyond), it seeks to enlist and expand what it calls a "burden sharing network" to do so;

    While the paper doesn't name Russia and China directly, it constantly refers to taking actions against "adversaries" obviously meaning both Russia and China;

    The paper is an updated continuation of the post-Cold War "Wolfowitz Doctrine" through which the US seeks to maintain global primacy while preventing the mergence of any rival or bloc of rivals..

    🇷🇺 Russian forces have struck the Pechenegskoye Reservoir on the Pechenégi Dam in Ukraine’s Kharkov region with Iskander ballistic missiles, destroying the road bridge at Staryy Saltov and cutting off another key route in the area.
