  1. I am disgusted by the attacks on Tucker by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Kimmel and the entirety of MSNBC and then realized I was witnessing professional jealousy on steroids. I decided to look up the ratings of these various clowns and compare them to the viewers Tucker attracted. The numbers are shocking. Tucker killed them. All of them. Here are the numbers. First up, I counted up the viewer ratings for the late night shows. Lastly, I added up the numbers for the major TV network news shows: The total for all of these shows combined is just shy of 32 million. Remember, back in 1968 Walter Cronkite drew an average of 27 million viewers just for his broadcast. Compare that to Tucker’s numbers — as of 9:06 pm Saturday night (eastern standard time) is 186 million views. In other words, Tucker is attracting 6 times more viewers than ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC combined. And he is not spending one dime on advertising trying to attract viewers. CNN’s numbers are really pathetic. Their “top” show only attracted 733,000 viewers. Tucker blew through that number in the first 30 minutes of his interview with Putin. When you stop to consider the hundreds of millions of dollars the media companies with so few viewers you must wonder, “how long can this go on?” One other benchmark to consider — The Chiefs/Eagles 2023 Super Bowl had 115 million viewers. Tucker has beat that major event by 70 million. This is a clear marker that legacy media is in its death throes. Congratulations Tucker. You escaped just in time. - Sonar21

  10. It’s always encouraging when a country’s military commander-in-chief – President Biden, in this case – announces in advance that he knows how he is going to respond militarily to the killing of three American soldiers at a base that supports an illegal and immoral U.S. “covert” war against Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, and all those who oppose the US/Israel slaughter of Palestinians. Such anxiety to show antecedently that he’s not sitting on his hands is touching. It’s the kind of announcement that all great military leaders make. It is the kind of arrogant stupidity that has long been the norm for U.S. presidents who love war but lose them all while masquerading as conquerors. So it goes, and so it will go. To add to that, Biden says he doesn’t want a wider war as he creates one, since you can always take him at the opposite of his words. Yet he really has no secrets since his transparent corruption is almost palpable: He supports the Israeli/U.S. genocide in Gaza, the Ukrainian war against Russia, has expanded the war in the Middle East over the past few weeks, and will soon widen it further while the mass media report that he and his cast of fools are trying to “manage” their violent responses to prevent a wider war. The narrative has it that he is trying to outfox Netanyahu, who has often bragged how he has the U.S.A. in his back pocket. It is hard not to laugh derisively. Now Biden issues an executive order to sanction some Israelis on the West Bank, as if this blatant political move to help his election chances with Muslim Americans is an act of moral statesmanship, while the blood of over 27,000 Palestinians drips from his shaky hands and increases daily. In Biden’s case today, these are the actions of a desperado, a war-loving bumbling puppet who is over or under or out of his head as he feigns outrage at the killing of three soldiers who were placed in a spot where their lives were at risk because they were cogs in an imperial war machine. Pawns in the game. A very dangerous game in which the Zionists leaders of Israel are as desperate as Biden and whose secret operatives are no doubt plotting a desperate scheme to try to expand the war. Who is jerking whose chain may be questionable, but the dogs of war are barking. We are talking about very stupid leaders who have never learned from their losses and are risking a major war. - LewRockwell

  54. The Battle of Borodino was the apogee of Napoleon’s reckless attempt to conquer Russia and set the stage for his ensuing defeat — French losses in securing their “victory” at Borodino, left them decimated and unable to finish the war they started. Napoleon and his commanders hunkered down in Moscow for a short period but then, with the onset of an early winter, realized they faced annihilation if they stayed and chose to try to return to France. They lacked the logistics to sustain themselves in a zone of conflict. The long, deadly retreat from Moscow, marked the nadir of the French military in that campaign, having entered Russia with an army of 600,000 men and escaped with only 16% of the force still intact. Losing 500,000 soldiers is not a recipe for victory. The Borodino strategy is not confined to Ukraine. The United States is intent on going to war with China. That is insanity. Just as Napoleon’s deep incursion into Russia stretched his lines of communications (i.e. logistics) to the point of collapse, the United States is talking about a military confrontation with China that it cannot sustain. The lesson of Borodino is that a war of attrition favors the power that is closest to its supply lines. It is a lesson the West, especially America, refuses to learn. One other lesson from Borodino — even though Napoleon’s army suffered terrible losses, Napoleon maintained his insatiable thirst for conquest and refused to find a path to peace. It was that unquenched desire that led him ultimately to Waterloo. The Western quest to dominate Russia and China is likely to lead to a 21st Century Waterloo for America and Europe. Yes, history rhymes. - Sonar21

  62. Jordan is a US ally and as such American troops stationed on its territory – while in our opinion extremely unwise – are not illegally occupying foreign soil. However, if as is likely this facility was inside the Syrian border it means US troops illegally occupying Syrian territory were hit. In other words, a foreign occupying force was attacked by people defending their homeland. That’s a very different story and one that Washington’s warmongers would rather Americans back home not ponder. Most Americans likely do not understand that US forces are illegally occupying a large portion of Syrian territory – a country with which Washington is not legally at war – and therefore any Americans killed in Syria may result in the public starting to ask, “why exactly are we there”? Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has never seen a war he doesn’t want other people to fight, has offered his own explanation as to why US troops are getting killed in Syria: “Our forces in Jordan and Syria are there to protect the American homeland.” But as thousands illegally enter our actual American homeland every day with total impunity, it is a claim that is unlikely to resonate with most Americans. Nevertheless Graham, a one-hit wonder, has posted his advice to respond to the Iraqi Resistance drone strike on the US base in Syria: “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.” Iraq attacks an illegal US base in Syria? Attack Iran. His morning decaf mocha frap latte from Starbucks is cold? Attack Iran. One hit wonder. If Graham’s fever dreams are fulfilled and the US launches an attack on Iran with nearly a Vietnam-sized contingent of American “sitting ducks” in the region, there is a very good chance America may finally take notice. 35,000 Americans in body bags to satisfy Lindsey’s perverse lust for blood could well finally focus America’s attention on the malevolent force that has maintained an iron grip on US foreign policy regardless of whether R’s or D’s are “running the show.” Let’s hope America wakes up before this happens. Iraq has already demanded that the US remove its occupation troops immediately and the Iraqi parliament voted nearly four years ago that US troops must leave the country. The DC establishment claimed that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was to “restore democracy,” but when the democratically-elected Iraqi parliament voted for the US military to end its occupation of the country…Washington said “no” to democracy. Nobody wants US troops in the region except for Israel, which has just been found to be possibly committing genocide in Gaza. Is this really the crowd we want to run with? Maybe we can just come home? - LewRockwell

  119. The biggest news is that yesterday, May 18th, the Ukrainian new mobilization strictures officially and finally went into effect. This has resulted in a flood of videos showing deserted streets, with claims that men are now in hiding like never before. Additionally, Ukrainian truckers even staged a mass protest, blocking roads. It will be not only ‘interesting’ to see where this goes and how successful it is, but in fact this will be one of the critical bellwethers for Ukraine as a whole In short: Zelensky is desperate to use any excuse in escalating the war and inviting NATO into it. He knows the only way he can stop Russia is by embroiling the U.S. into the conflict, and he can do that by repeatedly pushing red lines against Russia in order to force Russia to react against NATO. But there is little chance it will work, as NATO has thus far demonstrated surprising risk aversion to the prospect of facing off with Russia. Meanwhile, Estonian PM Kaja Kallas says another one of the quietest parts aloud—Russia should be entirely broken up: it shows the type of craven, feckless, unprincipled and totally amoral puppets at the top of the West’s pyramid of rulership. There are no principles, only arrant hypocrisy and lies. Meanwhile, Russia’s hit on Lvov is now seen to have wiped out a major gas facility: Satellite images appeared which reportedly show the extent to which NATO is being demilitarized by the Ukrainian conflict. A large armor storage site in Italy has been nearly emptied out of various things like M113s, M109Ls, etc.: By the latest maps, Volchansk appears something like 40-50% taken, with Russian forces said to have begun crossing the Vovcha river which runs through its center: A Russian video demonstrating why the fortifications were such failures—Lancet drones kept blowing up all the Ukrainian trench-building equipment in the north: And the most demonstrative one of all—Ukrainian workers complain that Russian Lancets took out all their trench diggers: - Simplicius

  121. US Proxy War with Russia in Ukraine Extends to Syria The collective West is increasingly struggling to maintain the illusion of primacy in Europe as Russian forces advance on the battlefield, Western missiles fired into Russia fail to change the strategic direction of the conflict, and tensions dangerously escalate between the West and Russia; Ukraine’s military continues to deteriorate as Russian combat power grows, accelerating Russia’s gains on the battlefield; Russia has demonstrated escalation dominance with the use of its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, allowing for non-nuclear retaliation against Western targets if necessary; France and the UK’s discussions over deploying troops to Ukraine is likely a bluff. The feasibility of deploying these troops and having any impact on the conflict is negligible and would only weaken the collective West both literally and in terms of perceived political, economic, and military power; Beyond Ukraine, the US is opening up fronts in Georgia through street violence and a large, renewed US-armed terrorist offensive in Syria’s north; The US will continue pushing everywhere hoping cracks form because of its inability to defeat Russia in any one single point of conflict; The restart of US-backed hostilities in Syria is a stark warning to Russia regarding accepting any peace deal from the collective West and their proxies which would only serve as a means of regrouping, rearming, and relaunching hostilities at a later date; The Syrian conflict, like in Ukraine, is the product of US proxy war stretching over several years and multiple US presidential administrations; - The New Atlas

  255. Putin adamantly restated the goals of the SMO. Not only that, but he again strongly implied that Russia will retake Odessa, calling it a purely Russian city which was founded by Catherine the Great. I think this fairly settles the debate on whether Russia intends to take back these territories. The Pentagon today admitted that the choice will soon be between attending to “our own military readiness” and supporting Ukraine: Putin’s statements reflect a reality even Western outlets now regularly report. This BBC report from a week and change ago interviewed the actual AFU marines there, shedding light on the horrors they’re experiencing: This is one of the first such specific admissions from the AFU side—he says he only has 2 howitzers while Russia has over 30 just in his quadrant alone. What’s shocking is that this is corroborated by another recent report straight from a Russian soldier who said AFU’s shelling has dropped so low there that they return 1 shell for every 50 that Russia fires. With such disparities, we’re supposed to believe that it’s the AFU taking favorable losses? The US general being placed in charge of the Ukrainian theater again reasserts that Russian jamming is greatly nullifying most Western systems in Ukraine: A new video released by a Russian electronics warfare unit shows a myriad of AFU FPV drones being jammed out of the sky, giving us a small idea of this lesser-seen aspect of warfare: Hitler once said if he knew the amounts of armor Russian factories could pump out, he would have never invaded. Looks like the 4th Reich mini-Fuhrer will learn the same lesson. - Simplicius

  295. I know the Avdeevka retreat’s been beaten half to death, and I’m just as over it as you probably are. But here’s a couple things worth noting, that will tie together into a larger whole. They first focus on a 21 year old AFU soldier who just ‘barely’ made it out from the Russian advance: By the time his unit retreated, he was in charge. So many soldiers had been wounded that there was “nobody more senior left,” the 21-year-old said. When his group finally left the city entirely, he watched the convoy in front of him erupt into fire as artillery took them out. “It was just a convoy of people. A convoy of the best men ever. And in front of our eyes, this convoy was destroyed by artillery. People of my age, between 20 and 30.” I post this specifically because pro-UA supporters continue to push the narrative that Russia took more losses in Avdeevka. But first hand reports from their own troops indicate otherwise. In light of the above, a new archival video of the big retreat was released today showing very well one of the turkey shoots the soldier above may have witnessed: Planning bombs destroyed any AFU fortifications in Avdiivka and contributed to the rapid advance of the Russian Army in urban development. "These bombs completely destroy any position," Yegor Sugar, a Ukrainian soldier, said on social media. All buildings turn into pits after strikes by the Russian aerospace forces. Zelensky and his leadership have continued to fail in coming up with a full-on mobilization plan despite warnings of severe troop shortages on the front: While Ukraine has done some damage in the Black Sea, it continues to suffer grievous losses on the ground in the real fight. The first, then second, third, and potentially even third Abrams were destroyed: We also have startling new footage of the huge uptick in usage of the RBK-500 clusterbombs by Russia over Ukrainian positions. They are said to devastate positions at a time when Ukraine has run low on their own DPICMS—not to mention that Russia has adapted them into the UMPK glide-bombs which now rain these deadly fragments over AFU positions daily That’s not to mention glide-bombs being used so unsparingly as to be thrown at Ukrainian forest-belt positions and trenches - Simplicius

  378. You must understand that these are very supersecret operations. It is one thing to arm Ukraine, but quite another thing to provide targeting assistance, because at a certain point it begins to look like we Germans are just using Ukraine as a cut-out for our own military aggression, and the last thing we want to do is provoke open hostilities. The whole point of the Ukraine war is that it allows us to strike Russia at one remove and with plausible deniability. This is important to the Federal Republic, because after years of mismanagement and underfunding, our soldiers are barely equipped to shoot down Houthi drones in the Red Sea. Should Germany give the Ukraine some of its precious few Taurus missiles, any assistance with pointing and firing them would have to be laundered supersecretly through Poland, or through the British, lest our fingerprints end up anywhere on the scheme. It’s so suspersecret that a Lieutenant Colonel might have to drive the targeting data across the Polish border to hand it off personally to intermediaries, just so nobody can prove direct German involvement. That is how supersecret all of this is. While the origins of this targeting data have to be kept supersecret, our Luftwaffe brass decided that their conversation about maintaining this supersecrecy could be entrusted to an unsecure Webex videoconference. In this they resemble a murderer who plans the perfect crime only to livestream the entire thing to his friends on Facebook. Taurus is a complex weapons system and the Ukrainians will not be able to use it without months of training. Efforts to cut corners here could be dangerous and result in a Taurus missile obliterating civilian targets. Should Scholz change his mind, either Germany or (preferably) British operatives in Ukraine would have to assist in planning the earliest Taurus attacks. Simply waiting for Ukrainians to complete Taurus missile school and use the weapons on their own is undesirable, because the months-long delay would generate bad headlines. - LewRockwell

  380. Dear Climate Crisis Guy, The climate in the northern hemisphere was much colder in the late 1700s than in the 20th century, with large American rivers like the Delaware routinely freezing over during the winter. If you lived back then, would you demand that the climate be “protected” at its then-current state? With reference to the above, how do you determine the optimal “global” temperature? Greenland during the period of roughly 1100-1700 was warmer than it has been since, and it supported European settlements for hundreds of years. After subsequent centuries of colder temperatures and expanding glaciers, why should we now be anxious if Greenland is a bit warmer today than 60 years ago? In the atmosphere, there are four parts carbon dioxide to every 9,996 other parts. Do you think minor variations in an inert gas molecule comprising 0.04% of anything can by itself have a meaningful effect on any physical or thermal barrier? Thinking about the sun, ocean currents, water vapor, volcanic emissions, vegetation and other such natural variables, is CO2 a bigger climate influence? Giant sheets of ice covered much of the earth’s land area during the last ice age, which ended about 10,000 years ago. During that time, the huge glaciers rapidly melted, without human help. Why do you feel that man, who generates only about 10% of all new carbon dioxide, has a major impact on a global climate that is subject to much more direct, massive natural forces? Are Europe and North America more inhabitable now, or when they were covered in ice? Global crop yields have soared in the past 60 years. Can you explain how “climate change” has harmed food production? - LewRockwell

  399. It’s damn near impossible to keep up with all the warmongering of the western empire these days. This cavalier attitude toward nuclear brinkmanship that empire managers have been demonstrating lately was addressed on Monday by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, who said the US is close to making a “fatal” miscalculation. “I would like to caution American officials against miscalculations which may have fatal consequences. For some unknown reason, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they may receive,” Ryabkov reportedly said. There is a limit to how many escalations Russia will tolerate before taking drastic action against NATO to re-establish deterrence credibility, and nobody really knows exactly where that limit is. They seem bound and determined to find it however, and when they do we may already be on an irreversible free fall toward nuclear armageddon. And that’s why it’s very disturbing that these tensions are being ramped up so casually by the empire with no resistance from anybody — not from western governments, not from the media, and not even from ordinary people in any meaningful numbers. These freaks are playing chicken with armageddon weapons, and nobody’s got a foot anywhere near the brake pedal. They’re not even looking at it. They’re not even thinking about it. At the very least we’ve got to find some way to get people thinking about this. This would be such a damn stupid way for humanity to annihilate itself. - LewRockwell

  549. The fact that this motorized regiment without much heavy gear was used is revealing. It confirms reports that Russia is no where close to introducing its “main force” into the region, which can come much later after Russia has tested the Ukrainian defenses, revealed their positions via recon-by-fire, and then softened them up with air strikes. Ukrainian military sources report that not only does Russia possibly have a much larger force it intends to introduce later, but another one is gathering in Sumy region as well: Well, almost exactly two months later, it looks like things are bearing fruit. I believe the current action is both multi-stage and longer term. That means you won’t see a flash-in-the-pan blitzkrieg or thunder-run, but rather a very methodical introduction of forces from the north at key points like turning the screws on a vise. Russia will likely see how Ukraine reacts to the Kharkov incursion, watch where it deploys its reserves, and act accordingly, with potential Sumy and/or Chernigov contingents to come in much later. Remember: the objectives right now are to degrade and destroy the AFU manpower, not to “capture territory”—that will all come as a natural secondary byproduct of its own. In the meantime, Russia is slowly degrading the logistics in the region: The northern incursion is in fact a pinning operation for now, but that’s not all it is. It’s part of the grand boa constrictor or ‘death by a thousand cuts’ strategy I’ve been describing for over a year now, and more resources will be poured constantly onto it until the trickle develops into a deluge. After that, it will be a fully formed front in its own right and Ukraine will have major problems choosing where to send reserves. In the meantime, the Avdeevka-Ocheretino axis is deteriorating fast, which is precisely why Russia decided to “turn the screws” some more: And by the way, today new gains were made on the Kupyansk front toward the town Pishchane, which reinforces the idea that soon this front may get more activated in accordance with the northern breach. Despite advance warning and accurate intel, Ukraine can do nothing about the events that are soon to come. This is a chess match and a numbers game; you can “know” full well the constrictor is tightening over your chest, but there will be little you can do about it. Ukraine will lack the means to respond to the constant swell of Russian troops and armaments on every single frontline, which will only stretch longer and longer as Russia potentially introduces new breaches into Sumy, Chernigov, and perhaps even elsewhere—some Russian channels are still trading rumors of a potential push from Belarus into Kiev region as eventual part of the now initiated cascade. Recall all the quotes from Ukrainian officers I recently posted wherein they admitted they don’t have the mobility to match Russian ‘whack-a-mole’ tactics. Russia can transfer units from one region to another and mesmerize the AFU with the ‘thousand cuts’ from every angle, and Ukraine simply doesn’t have the logistical infrastructure to keep up plugging each hole. The longer the front stretches, the worse this issue becomes. - Simplicius

  569. In 2021, the European Union created their own military – European Peace Facility. Despite its claim of building peace and preventing conflicts – they have instead instigated conflicts and provided weaponry to western backed governments or military juntas. Some of these peace building initiatives include funding military operations in such countries as: Macedonia, Nigeria, Jordan, Ukraine, Boznia, Ghana, Moldova, Somalia etc… Their first distribution of funds was $130 million to the African Union. Included in their detail description of the military spending is this phrase, “…designed to deliver lethal force”. CODE = KILL. Peace is NOT mentioned. The funding for these military operations comes from member countries of the EU which still cannot meet their NATO 2% mandate. The same NATO paid for predominantly by American Taxpayers. As the US and UK deplete their stockpile weapon inventory aiding and abetting the Ukraine and Israel wars, disrupting African nations via coups, Saudi Arabia just wrapped up their largest ever World Defense Show with weapon sales topping $6.9 billion. Countries attending the show revealed their concern that the world is entering a global phase of pre-war that will erupt into a titan of destruction. Given the West has depleted its inventory and spent billions creating disinformation campaigns and coups across Africa, they stand to be most at risk – while simultaneously initiating the stage for War.. It seems to me The Temporary Fear Propaganda about a Severe Security Threat against the US by Russia – in the midst of the unraveling of the Russia CIA Illusion – is more ego driven than political. It reveals that the US ‘forgot’ to actually go to work at the Defense Industry and build instead of culturally pronouning. In that event we might actually have superior military capability. - LewRockwell

  576. Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 21, 2024… - As Ukraine and its Western sponsors continue losing the conflict strategically, Ukraine continues conducting military operations to win public relations victories; - Ukrainian drone strikes on St. Petersburg and a Russian oil depot inflicted no tactically or strategically significant damage; - Such strikes have demonstrably only galvanized the Russian population further behind Moscow and are admittedly aimed at encouraging the Ukrainian population to remain invested in the conflict; - The US government has claimed that without further financial aid, Ukraine will decisively lose the conflict, omitting the fact that even with additional financial resources, the arms and ammunition Ukraine needs does not exist to be purchased and transferred to Ukraine in the first place; - France has urged arms manufacturers to boost output, claiming to have switched to a “war economy mode,” despite the necessary prerequisites to do so not being met and France being unable to boost output without huge investments in both money measured in billions, and time measured in years; - The fate of a Russian A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft continues to remain at the center of Western commentary, specifically because of a lack of strategically significant developments in Ukraine’s favor on the battlefield. The fact that Western media admits the allegedly destroyed plane has already been replaced reveals how insignificant the incident is; - The Western media continues promoting narratives of heavy Russian losses around Avdeevka, identical to narratives that preceded the fall of Bakhmut to Russian forces last year; - While such narratives are meant to depict Russia as weak and failing, the relentless tidal wave of men and equipment would not be possible unless Russia possessed vastly superior means of raising manpower and military industrial output; - The New Atlas

  625. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas’ claim that Russian civilians “are not dying” in the Ukraine conflict is erroneous, Russia’s envoy to the UN Vassily Nebenzia has said. During a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday, Nebenzia denounced Kallas’s remarks from February as “immoral assertions” from an official peddling “fantasies.” He said that in 2024 alone, Ukrainian military action resulted in the death of 809 Russian civilians, including 51 children. Those killings constituted “real crimes” and not a “theatrical performance like Bucha that was staged by the Ukrainian authorities” to garner Western support, Nebenzia stated. Kiev has cited claims that Russian forces had committed a “massacre” in the town in 2022 to justify its decision to abandon peace talks, while Russia contends that the evidence was fabricated. Speaking at a panel discussion during the Munich Security Conference, Kallas claimed that the two nations take radically different positions: “The difference is that Russian civilians are not dying. I mean Russian children and women are not dying, it’s soldiers on the ground” who do, she stated. In response, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova labeled Kallas’s comments as evidence of the “degradation” of senior EU officials, asserting that the senior diplomat has reached a new low in “cynicism and immorality.” “How can one seriously negotiate with people who have declared lies as their official position?” Zakharova questioned. - RT

  640. Remember when the narrative was that it was Russia totally reliant on Western-supplied parts in its weaponry? Here an American general literally admits the entire U.S. military structure would collapse in a day if China issued an embargo against them: If we were in a war with China and it stopped providing parts, we wouldn't be able to build the planes and weapons we needed,' he said. A startling report released earlier this year revealed Chinese firms have a stranglehold across 12 critical technologies that are vital to US national security, including nuclear modernization, hypersonic and space technologies. The study, which was carried out by defense software firm Govini, delivered a damning indictment on the American armaments industry. 'U.S. domestic production capacity is a shriveled shadow of its former self,' 'Crucial categories of industry for U.S. national defense are no longer built in any of the 50 states.' How the tides have turned. It seems the West is slowly coming to its awakening moment: it stands no chance in a long term conflict against the manufacturing powerhouse of the Russia-China-North Korea-Iran bloc. In the meantime, Russia continues to build up its military potential and asymmetrically respond to the West’s aggression. On top of that, Putin has now announced that Russia may resume manufacturing medium range ballistic missiles—precisely the kinds banned by the previous INF treaty which the U.S. abrogated: Russia has now stated the West is in danger of having its ties officially downgraded in their entirety by Russia: As many know, Russia moves very slowly—slow to saddle, fast to ride, as the mot goes—but when it does, it moves with heavy, enduring consequence. As I said, all the while, Russia is building up its resources and offensive potential. Unlike the West’s own dismal showing and inability to translate platitudes into action, Russia is sticking to its plans and promises: Russian missiles wiped out another officer’s billet in Kharkov, killing at least 15 AFU and wounding dozens more. The Russian rear strikes are doing massive damage—here’s another from today which blew away an entire Ukrainian train said to be full of armaments and Western gear: - Simplicius

  648. I received the following query from Sputnik on Saturday: Britain has proposed sending a NATO expeditionary corps to Ukraine. London also allegedly suggested establishing a no-fly zone over Kiev-controlled territory and did not rule out strikes on “strategic infrastructure facilities in Russia’s northern regions”. After that, according to the British plan, NATO forces would create a “buffer zone” within the occupied positions, including the border with Belarus and the territory around Kiev, and the released Ukrainian army forces should withdraw to the Special operation zone. We would be happy if you could comment on this matter. Please, see my questions below: 1. How do you assess this decision and do you think it is realistic? Should we take it seriously (or is this an attempt to appease Zelensky)? 2. June 2023 Putin already said that Russia is considering the creation of a buffer (sanitary) zone in Ukraine “to solve the problem of shelling of Russian territories.” Is NATO trying to seize the initiative and why won’t they succeed? This is a fantastical delusion on the part of the Brits and has no foundation in reality. But, just because the Brits are insane does not mean Russia can ignore them. It is a serious proposal. But the British Army is a hollowed out shell. It is one fifth the size of the force rescued from Dunkirk in World War II. The British Army is a toothless, bedraggled poodle. Can’t even deliver a serious bark, much less a bite. Yes, NATO is desperate to prevent Russia from securing all territory to the east of the Dneiper River. Up to this point the NATO countries have enabled the criminal activities of Ukraine and have not suffered any consequences. I believe they interpret Russia’s failure to respond as a sign of weakness. They confuse patience with ignorance. Given the growing turmoil in Kiev as the fight for control between President Zelensky and General Zaluzhny heats up, the Russians appear content to continue their attrition strategy as they systematically dismantle the Ukrainian Army. Russia, however, is enjoying an unexpected benefit — NATO also is being de-militarized. - Sonar21

  667. As the Zionists’ genocidal war against the Palestinians rages on, I wanted to do something to try to educate the average American about the true nature of the Palestinian people. Most importantly, Mazin is an Orthodox Christian. Why do I write, most importantly? Because most Americans assume that Palestinians are all Muslim extremists. While that is a despicable lie, it is the perception. Mazin destroys that stereotype. As you will see in the following video, Mazin is a gentle, but courageous soul, besides being a gifted intellectual. I asked him about his early years in school. He described going to elementary school with Muslims and Jews. They were not segregated at the time, despite the 1953 State Education Law. The kids played together and formed friendships. But the Zionist thugs could not allow this. Sometime after the 1967 war, Israel’s apartheid system took control. I posted the picture of Israel’s latest casualties in Gaza as a reminder that Hamas, despite being outnumbered and outgunned, continues the fight for the freedom of the Palestinian people. This is a visible reminder of the limitations of Israel’s military power. While the Zionists are adept at killing unarmed women and children, they have failed — after 14 months — to defeat Hamas despite having control over all of Gaza’s borders. Hamas and the Palestinians in Gaza have paid a heavy price in terms of loss of life and the destruction of critical infrastructure. Yet, they still stand and continue to fight, much to the chagrin of the Israeli occupiers. - sonar21

  684. Remember all of the jubilation created in Baghdad by the CIA, who hired a crowd that stormed the center square and tore down the statue of Saddam Hussein? Remember the mobs looting the presidential palaces, banks and commercial outlets? Welcome to Damascus 2024. HTS is not a friend of Iran. It remains a fundamentalist Sunni Salafist movement. In terms of ideological extremism, it is a cousin of the settler groups in Israel, which are represented by Zionists like Bezalel Smotrich — they broker no compromise with anyone. Unlike Assad, who kept Christian Churches open and protected the Shi’a and Alawite communities, HTS is likely to persecute, if not outright murder, those groups. This means that floods of refugees will be headed back to Lebanon, north to Turkey, west to Europe and east to Iraq. Rather than acknowledge that an international terrorist organization has been allowed to seize control of the government of Syria, Trump indulges the fantasy that “Russia is in a weakened state right now.” I am sure that went over well with folks in the Kremlin. I bet they are shaking in their boots as the mighty colossus that is Donald Trump, strides the world stage. Trump’s ignorant statement about Russia’s economy and its progress with respect to the war in Ukraine guarantees that Putin will be in no mood to sit down to negotiate with Trump or any of his water boys. The chaos that is likely to consume Syria over the coming two months will cause more harm and danger for Turkey and Israel than for Russia and Iran. - sonar21

  708. “If there is a general mood in the room not to focus on BSEC, let’s consider it as a talk show, as a self-made Security Council which we invented for ourselves, not for practical projects, not for helping people,” Birichevsky said, addressing Ukraine’s “provocative performance.” For Russia, the issue of Ukraine is not about territory or geopolitics, but “a matter of life and death,” said the diplomat. “It is about being able to live as [we did] for ages – as one family, with the same core values that are not for foreign intruders to destroy.” Birichevsky reminded his colleagues that Ukraine “lost its sovereignty” in 2014, “as a result of the US-EU sponsored and directed coup d’état.” He noted that President Viktor Yanukovich was ousted even after signing an agreement to settle the dispute with the nationalist protesters peacefully – mediated by France, Germany and Poland, none of whom cared when it was violated. “If we want to remember everything today, then let’s remember everything,” Birichevsky said, bringing up the role of US diplomat Victoria Nuland in the coup. He also called the government of Ukraine a “nationalist neo-Nazi regime… that has been conducting a full-fledged war against its own population” for the past decade. Just since February 2022, Birichevsky noted, the Ukrainian military has launched 32,388 attacks on the Donetsk People’s Republic alone, killing 4,787 civilians – including 142 children – and wounding another 5,776 people. - RT

  732. Christians are treated like Muslims in Palestine. They must seek a permit from the Israeli government to join Easter services in Jerusalem or Bethlehem. Out of 50,000, Israel saw fit to grant just 200 permits. The Israeli occupation did not discriminate between Muslims and Christians – they too are subject to arbitrary arrests, confiscation of their land and home, and economic isolation. Why isn’t our Christian Congress appalled? 70 years ago, Bethlehem was 86% Christian. Today that number is a mere 12%. The Israeli government built a wall around Bethlehem and annexed the land for Jewish settlements. Secular Jewish settlements. People who have no religious affiliation are in control of Israel’s Holy Sites. The Vatican is silent. The War of Silence. Is now deafening. And the churches are mute. Netanyahu expanded his Gaza and Rafah war into the West Bank, killing indiscriminately, confiscating homes, and literally throwing people into the street. Yet, Christians support this. “Kill them all”! Are any of these Christians left? Are they alive? Are they being starved? These Christians and Muslims worked together, ate together, tilled the land together. There was no animosity. Because they worshipped the same places and had peace with God. Until Netanyahu said, “NO MORE”! Did they become dirty and vile? Or is Congress simply braindead? Netanyahu’s ‘targeted’ murder of civilians is a War Crime. No amount of PR will change that fact. 145 UN member countries voted to recognize Palestine’s statehood. The WORLD has spoken. - LewRockwell

  746. On 28 June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo. Who would know that in only a few weeks the whole of Europe would be at war, leading to the deaths of millions. Are we facing a similar escalation of events today? In a little over five weeks from the Sarajevo assassination, all the European combatants had embarked on the most destructive war in all history. It came out of nowhere and was to last over four years. Central to the escalation was one nation — Germany. Central to the current Middle East crisis is one nation — The United States. The escalation into a new world war could have further to go than previously, with nuclear weapons in the armouries of most of the combatants. Surely, it would be complacent to think that they will remain as an unused umbrella, never to be deployed. But we can see how developments considered only one step at a time can take us to a very dark place. Bearing in mind that the US uses NATO to prevent having to call up her own citizens and that the UK Government when asked by the US to jump merely asks how high, then perhaps this call to arms should be taken seriously as an indication that the intelligence services believe that events are leading towards a third world war. Putin and Xi are well-versed in war tactics. Russia has a history of letting its enemies extend themselves beyond their support lines (cf. Napoleon, Hitler) and China has the wisdom of Sun Tzu on warfare. Some Sun Tzu pearls: “All warfare is based on deception”, “Hold out baits to entice the enemy” (Houthis, Hezbollah ect.), “If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.” Doesn’t this last one just describe the US’s political class? Apart from its military build-up so eloquently forewarned by Erskine Childers’ The Riddle of the Sands, in 1914 Germany declared its European wars from a position of relative financial strength. Today, America has a fiat dollar, a debt to GDP ratio of about 125%, and is mired in a deepening debt trap. It is simply not in a position to embark on an open-ended commitment to support Israel in a war against Iran. US economic prospects are already dire, with the only growth being in the US budget deficit. Strip out a budget deficit likely to be $3 trillion this fiscal year, add in the consequences for currency debasement and you can see that the US economy is not only in trouble, but markets faces further dilution of the dollar’s purchasing power and therefore rising interest rates and bond yields Other than a degeneration into a nuclear conflict, this leaves us with only one possible outcome: the US backs off in this stupendous game of chicken and seeks some sort of face-saving exit from Ukraine. For Russia and Iran, it will be the ultimate victory. The dollar’s hegemony will be compromised, so will continue to decline in its value anyway, but at a less catastrophic rate than in a full-on conflict. Either way, holding credit as opposed to real money without counterparty risk will be the mistake commonly made, and when the wider population begins to understand that this is so, there will be insufficient gold to meet the likely demand at any price. - LewRockwell

  752. Iran unleashed their ‘Operation True Promise 2’ on Israel, sending hundreds of ballistic missiles which passed unopposed through Israel’s porous air defenses. Watch the above videos of hundreds of missiles hitting Israel, then read this deluded tweet by a Netanyahu aide, who with a straight face declared that most missiles were intercepted: we have eyewitness accounts and geolocations that appear to show the areas of sensitive targets being hit. These videos in particular claim to be from just outside Nevatim airbase which houses much of Israel’s F-35 fleet: It is currently impossible to find out whether the Air Base was damaged or destroyed, but the approximate range of the targets of Iranian Missiles is quite clear: Air Bases. So, we don’t yet know if any real damage was done, but the one take away that we’re again able to make is that Iran is at least capable of penetrating all Western air defense nets. That is because the US openly announced their attempt to interdict the strikes as much as possible, in futility—as reported by the official US Naval Institute: Israel can only create “miraculous” victories on the backs of the entire Western world, which controls the commerce, communications, military, and every other sphere in the region, allowing Israel to wield full spectrum dominance. Without this backing, Israel would not be able to survive on its own, and would have long ceased to exist. As a very brief summary, Israel has invaded Lebanon three major times since the ‘70s. The 1978 and 1982 invasions were essentially due to claimed attacks by Palestinian groups based in Lebanon. In 2006 they tried again to go all the way to the Litani—but this time they weren’t facing the PLO, but Hezbollah for the first time. One of the key differences is Hezbollah was armed with large amounts of ATGMs, which the PLO didn’t have, nullifying Israel’s armor and tank advantage. This time IDF could not even get past a few miles into southern Lebanon before giving up. The battle of Bint Jbeil was the main battle, only a couple kilometers from the border: - Simplicius

  762. I think extreme caution is advised when it comes to Trump’s plans to end the U.S. proxy war against Russia, which, following the Nixon-Kissinger script, seems to be aimed at splitting the Russian-Chinese partnership now threatening U.S. world domination. Trump, like his predecessor Joseph Biden who presided over the proxy war against Russia and the genocide of Palestinians by Israel, is no man of peace. He is fully in support of the extinction of the Palestinians and behind Israel’s war aims in the Middle-East. So when it comes to his recent overtures to Russia and a resolution to the U.S./NATO proxy war against Russia, one needs to reflect on history and Trump’s inclination to make “a deal.” The man, after all, was a reality-television star and has long reveled in radical reversals of previous statements and intentions. For example, in his first term, he often talked of withdrawing from NATO but never did; NATO, in fact, expanded under his watch. He talked about ending the U.S./NATO support for Ukraine’s bombing of Russian-speaking areas of eastern Ukraine, only to withdraw from the Minsk Accords and send military equipment to Ukraine to bomb those areas. When he criticized European leaders for allowing mass migration into their countries, his hypocrisy stood out. As any fair person should recognize, immigration policies have long been an issue in need of reform. But the mass creation of people fleeing their countries for safe havens in Europe are the direct result of US/NATO war policies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Syria, etc., policies supported by Republicans and Democrats alike and seconded by their lapdogs in Europe. I am convinced that the US/NATO war against Russia will not be ending unless NATO is dissolved, which Trump is not proposing. He only wishes to strengthen NATO with European money, not that of the U.S. NATO’s only raison d’être is to destroy Russia as an independent country and create regime change there through multiple means. This has always been so. This is why NATO has existed for so long and has expanded. Open warfare in Ukraine is just one means among many they have used over the years. You can end the overt war and continue the covert. I think the talk of a Trump revolution in favor of peace and democracy is hyperbolically irresponsible. It is unworthy of good journalism that requires prudence and patience when the powerful pitch their deals. The propaganda from the Biden administration and their mainstream media accomplices should have taught everyone that. But the appeal of a savior is very powerful. You know, ‘if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.’ - LewRockwell

  771. Here we go again. The “Joe Biden” thing just started another war in Yemen without a constitutionally compliant declaration by Congress. And it/they did so against a rag-tag tribe of desert insurgents who cannot possibly harm the liberty or security of the American homeland. After all, the most fearsome missile possessed by the Houthi is the Burkan-3, which has a maximum range of 750 miles. Yet the last time we checked, the distance from Yemen to Washington DC was 7,200 miles. So why is the GOP leadership branch of the Uniparty saluting Sleepy Joe with a chorus of attaboys? No, Speaker Johnson, America must not go abroad seeking monsters to destroy, as our sixth president, John Qunicy Adams, stated so cogently nearly 203 years ago on Independence Day. The Red Sea is not the Gulf of Mexico, Long Island Sound or the Gulf of Catalina—meaning that the Houthi blockade on ships heading to Israel in retaliation for the latter’s genocidal assault on Gaza is Jerusalem’s business to treat with, not Washington’s. In other words, all of the Uniparty prattle offered by McConnell and Johnson makes sense only through the false lens of a Washington-based Global Hegemon. So, yes, if Washington is obliged to keep the peace everywhere on the planet and safeguard all the sea lanes and all the air space from quarrelling local parties, as in the extant case, then let the assembled legislators call a vote and declare yet another war, as did the hapless Woodrow Wilson in April 1917 to no avail except the resulting rise of Hitler, Stalin, World War II, the holocaust and the Cold War. The truth is, Netanyahu is a megalomaniacal madman who has had the reckless audacity to pursue an utterly dangerous Machiavellian strategy of promoting and funding Hamas in order to kill dead as a doornail any prospect whatever of a two-state arrangement. For want of doubt, the facts are these. Between 2012 and 2018 Netanyahu gave Qatar approval to transfer a cumulative sum of nearly one billion dollars to Gaza in the form of suitcases full of cash. And at least half of that is estimated to have reached Hamas, including its military wing. In the meanwhile, Washington needs to truly sober up. Uncle Sam’s checking account is massively overdrawn. Now is not the time to fund wars which do nothing for America’s homeland security (Ukraine) or to launch yet another war on behalf of an ally that is unwilling to pay for the Garrison State its own blood-soaked anti-Palestinian war policies require. - LewRockwell

  807. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Drone footage of Russian troops returning to duty on Sunday, showed military vehicles scattered and filling the streets of Plekhovo village, after its complete liberation on the night of December 7, as reported by Russian Marines from the 810th Brigade. Plekhovo, located south of the main Ukrainian stronghold of Sudzha in Kursk region, was almost completely liberated in November, but Ukrainian troops took control of local farms located on the outskirts, holding out there for a long time, preventing Russian troops from reaching one of the main logistics routes in the region. Eventually, “Russia advances, even Ukraine retreats”, surrounded and trapped in Plekhovo, in a hybrid war that Pentagon is unofficially waging against Moscow, and amid rumors that Kiev will receive new weapons in mid-January 2025. NATO weapons and vehicles assist them achieve this goal, but it will not help! In fact, they suffer serious losses and are turning into a dumping ground for damaged and destroyed equipment in Plekhovo. Many of the military equipment was left behind by fleeing Ukrainian soldiers on the streets and near the village, while bodies were scattered there for the unfortunate ones. Several vehicles were recognizable in the drone footage, some as “scrap metal”, and the slightly damaged ones as “trophies” for Russia from the nearly 50 scattered vehicles. The Russian 810th Marine Brigade showed such losses as Turkish BMC Kirpi, from the US a pair of International MaxxPro MRAP, a pair of Humvee, M113 APC and Cougar 4x4 MRAP. While Ukrainian Army’s BTR-4 Bucephalus IFV, also suffered a bad fate along with their vehicle counterparts. Now, after a relatively long lull in which the line of contact did not expand significantly, Russian troops are advancing towards the small town of Sudzha from the south, while developing operations towards Guevo-Kurilovka from the west to eliminate Ukrainian troops, who fled after Plekhovo liberation. Intercepted radio communications reveal the desperate pleas of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in Plekhovo – trapped and betrayed. The promised evacuation never happened because the command left the entire unit to its fate. Thus, Russian fighters did not force the events and systematically pushed the enemy out. The capture of the settlements around Plekhovo is only about of time!

  809. When Empires Whisper: Clinton’s Forgotten Promise to Yeltsin Back in July (5th) 1994, Boris Yeltsin, Russia’s embattled president, asked his American counterpart, Bill Clinton, for a favor: intercede for the rights of Russian-speaking minorities in the Baltic states. Yeltsin’s plea was simple yet urgent, protect the millions of ethnic Russians stranded in newly independent Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania after the Soviet collapse. Clinton, in a polished display of Cold War-era politicking, promised to "address" the issue. But promises, as history has shown, are cheap in the West’s rules-based order. Fast forward nearly three decades, and we see the real fruits of that broken promise. The Russian-speaking populations in the Baltics have been systematically marginalized… stripped of citizenship, voting rights, and even the ability to use their language in public spheres. NATO expansion swept over the region like a bulldozer, erasing Clinton’s assurances as mere footnotes in a broader campaign to encircle Russia. In the context of the SMO, the Baltic precedent underscores Russia’s legitimate concerns about the rights of her people and the creeping militarization of its borders. This wasn’t just about the Baltics, it was the opening act in a Western playbook designed to encroach on Moscow’s sphere of influence, from Ukraine to Georgia and beyond. The current conflict isn’t a "surprise"; it’s the culmination of decades of broken promises and deliberate provocations. The West claims to champion human rights, yet turned a blind eye to ethnic cleansing-by-bureaucracy in the Baltics. Clinton’s empty assurances to Yeltsin reveal the true nature of the so-called rules-based order: rules for some, chaos for others. NATO didn’t stop at the Baltics; it aimed straight for Ukraine, igniting the proxy war we see today. But the SMO has flipped the script. Russia isn’t just addressing NATO’s provocations, it’s dismantling the empire’s entire façade of credibility. The plight of Russian-speaking minorities in the Baltics reminds the world of what’s at stake: the battle for sovereignty against a decaying unipolar system. The West’s lies, from Yeltsin’s era to today, are collapsing under the weight of their hypocrisy. The SMO is much more than a mere military campaign, it’s a historical reckoning. Russia is standing up for its people, its borders, and the very principle of national dignity that the West claims to defend but systematically destroys. Clinton promised Yeltsin action. Instead, he delivered NATO troops, anti-Russian rhetoric, and policies designed to erase Russian identity. The West has made its choice. Now, the multipolar world is making its move. - Gerry Nolan TheIslanderNews for Intel Republic

  815. Front lines are collapsing for the Ukrainian army, whole units surrendering. Top commanders are fired. Faced with complete disarray of the U.S.-NATO instigated war in Ukraine, U.S. militarists are doubling down. U.S. efforts to dismember Russia appear to have utterly failed. Economic sanctions, price caps, the protracted war on Russia’s border and tens of billions of dollars, along with hundreds of U.S. and other NATO member troops sent as trainers, plus mercenary contractors can’t hold the corrupt Ukrainian military machine together. The statements promoting strikes with the U.S.-supplied weapons to targets inside Russia are being made directly by President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is a former prime minister of Norway, but acts as if he were a U.S. official. All these elaborate plans would be dashed if Ukrainian defense lines crumbled before the NATO Summit in Washington, D.C. This 75th anniversary NATO Summit is a grand plan to showcase U.S. and Western imperialist dominance. Zelensky’s effort to call a “Peace Summit” on June 15 and 16 in Lucerne, Switzerland, exposes Ukraine’s dwindling support. The “Peace Summit” bars Russian participation. The effort is so flimsy that not even Biden is bothering to attend. The Rand Corporation, a powerful think tank for the major military industries, confirms the cynical calculations that justify war profits, regardless of the danger. Rather than reassess their deteriorating global position, U.S. strategists seem determined to put the fate of the world at risk. - LewRockwell

  817. The first thing that jumped out at me as I listened to the Tucker Carlson-Vladimir Putin interview is that Putin is 100 times more intellectually capable than President Joe Biden. No wonder Biden won’t take his call. It says a lot that the terrible people who run the United States wanted to prevent Carlson from conducting the interview, and then to hinder it from being made available to the American public. Many, including Carlson himself, expressed frustration that the Russian President began with a history lesson, going back to the founding of the Kievan Rus state in 882. I suspect this was Putin’s sly way of expressing a salient point that has long struck me about we Americans—namely, while our government is ever keen to send weapons and armies all over the world to police mankind, we find it onerous to sit through a 30-minute history lesson about the people and places we wish to control. Russia is, in Churchill’s formulation, “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,” and it has always been governed by an authoritarian state. Nevertheless, with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, there is plenty of evidence that Russia wished to cease living in a state of enmity with the United States.

Nevertheless, with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, there is plenty of evidence that Russia wished to cease living in a state of enmity with the United States. To me, it seems clear it was the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex, and NOT Russia, that wished to maintain this state of enmity, for without it, there would be little justification for the U.S. government to spend hundreds of billions on weapons goodies such as the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II—a program that started in 1995 and (if DoD accountants are to be believed) has cost U.S. taxpayers about 500 billion. - Courageous Discourse

  822. Biden called up the brute force of our navy: eight strike fighter squadrons, in addition to electronic warfare, airborne early warning aircraft, transport aircraft, and helicopters totaling upwards of 150 aircraft. The carriers’ cruiser and destroyer escorts are all Aegis warships. Sitting off the shores of Palestine fighting men, women, and children running around in sandals without water, food or electricity. Attacking Yemen was pure insanity. It simply means attacks on US soldiers stationed across the Middle East will ramp up exponentially. Destroying West Bank homes, Israel has now targeted the PLO for retaliation. And it begins to look as though Netanyahu is suffering from severe psychosis – the same mania that drove the Nazi’s and destroyed the Nazi’s. The Western wars have historically been ‘preemptive’, according to the US and UK intelligensia. Israel is making this same claim. The US/UK attacks on Yemen are now also under this false guise as was the bombing of Syria. The UN is powerless. NATO is powerless. These organizations are simply props. A false sense of unity and security that is delusional and/or an illusion. The World Economic Forum recognized this when saying that ‘government is obsolete’. Meaning it doesn’t exist. We are paying government nearly $5 trillion every year while Stakeholders make all the decisions and run the roost. The system is broken. Stakeholders have no obligation to adhere to Law. And will subjugate The People while Congress plays parcheesi. The only way to get a judicial system back is to extract the Stakeholder Control. - LewRockwell

The picture emerging is not an optimistic one for Ukraine, with prominent figures now squealing about ‘unprecedented’ losses. Ex-Aidar Deputy Commander Ihor Mosiychuk reported that the Martynovka garrison was just about entirely destroyed: In short, the losses are likely sky-high, and lots of POW captures attest to this as well, with new videos coming in by the hour: A convoy was also destroyed from the air as it was trying to escape, after it reached a ‘deadend’ in the form of a bridge that Russian strikes had already disabled: But the biggest story that emerged from the ongoing events of the past few days has been the now-legendary gas pipeline infiltration By all accounts, the operation succeeded in releasing an assault team of several companies (400+ men according to one account) behind enemy lines, which kicked off the rout; things went downhill from there. In the process of losing their minds, regime apologists the world over were forced to attest to the effectiveness of the daring subterranean raid op: The AFU lost about 33% of their Kursk holdings in a day: Trump says US has 'almost' ended pause in sharing intelligence on Ukraine — Bloomberg This makes an important point: how can Russia possibly trust its most dire and existential security guarantees to such a flip-flopping administration, which can promise one thing and deliver another moments later? It only goes to show that Russia should ignore all overtures and flourishes from Trump and his team and continue prosecuting the campaign to its finish. There is simply no fool-proof deals to be had with an exceptionalist, schizophrenic US at the terminal stage of its Imperial arc. Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov delivers a brilliant motivational speech to the fighters of the Akhmat special forces. Operation Pipe turned the tide of battles in the Kursk region, allowed to catch the enemy by surprise and sow panic in the enemy ranks. Over the past 2 days, many prisoners have been taken, significant territories have been liberated, and the encirclement of the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the Kursk region is approaching. - Simplicius

The Ukraine-US honeymoon is officially over as Trump and Zelensky unleashed scathing new attacks against each other, which can only precipitate fatal repercussions for Zelensky’s career in the near future. After Zelensky’s critical statements aimed at Trump’s claims of stolen money, Trump fired back with this shocking censure, which called Zelensky a dictator: US Vice President JD Vance warns Zelensky he will regret 'bashing' Trump and condemns the Ukrainian president's 'appalling' response to peace talks, the Daily Mail reports. 'The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president's mind by smearing him in the media - anyone who knows the president will tell you that's a disgusting way to deal with this administration,' Vance said. Few have expected the speed with which Zelensky’s regime has worn out its welcome. Now Zelensky has no choice but to cling to his final holdfast of the ever-narrowing and isolated European elite circle, that same Vampire ball, which had just gathered in Paris days ago. The European tyrants who have squandered their citizens lives, destroying Europe’s future, turning a once bright-and-bustling civilization into a dystopian failed state overrun by migrants and skyrocketing prices—these elites have emerged as the scared, retreating figures now trying desperately to shield Zelensky beneath their skirt as the overwhelming concensus builds to loom deafeningly before them. It’s absurd to deny Zelensky’s legitimacy after he literally forewent presidential elections, but it’s not absurd to openly deny the legitimacy of Romanian and Georgian elections with zero evidence of interference? The putrid Eurocrats have lofted to new heights of hypocrisy for all the world to see. Their increasingly shrinking coven becomes less and less relevant by the day, as they destroy the last crumbs of their credibility desperately shielding a blood-soaked despot. - Simplicius

  841. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Thrilling footage shows Russian troops advancing, retaking the village of Obukhovka in the Kursk region, and they took control of the settlement in the first 24 hours of the fighting, while Ukrainian militants who remained in the surrounding forest belt were crushed. The Russian Defense Ministry released footage of the assault on October 6, 2024, showing a platoon-scale mechanized assault by the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, the fighting is taking place along the forest line southeast of Obukhovka, where Zelensky's troops have temporarily taken refuge. Supported by ATGM and drones, five marines take up this position, three of them carrying out a shooting attack, while the other two come from the opposite side. This is not a mobile war, but a real war, where Russian marines enter the assault group, storming houses. Due to continuous monitoring using UAV, it was possible to detect the main points of resistance, and drive the enemy away from their strongholds, the houses of Russian residents. Immediate action was taken including a successful direct hit of an anti-tank missile from a distance of several meters from the first house in the village. Meanwhile, Russian drone operators gave them molotov cocktails, driving out those who were hiding in panic in forest plantations, disabling them and destroying military equipment. During the storming, Kiev's troops resisted, not wanting to give up their positions and tried to counterattack, but the Ukrainians did not succeed. Despite all the means, with 120-mm mines, cluster bombs, kamikaze drones, and continuous shelling, Russian troops held the village for three days. When reinforcements arrived, the Marines now managed to clear Obukhovka after an assault on the nearby forest area, which deactivated about 35 militants, and the survivors surrendered. As a result of fierce fighting, trophies were collected in Obukhovka. The marines managed to seize Western-made weapons, flags of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and personal belongings of the nationalists. According to the Marines, among those killed and captured were Ukrainian border guards, Polish mercenaries, and soldiers from two brigades. We disabled them all, all of them," the commander of the assault group said.

  842. Western leaders stand by while the US has provided the bombs needed to destroy most of Gaza, concentrate two million of the population against an Egyptian wall, and kill over 30,000 people, the majority of which have been women and children. Last week’s US airdrops of 38,000 “meals” for 2 million starving people – starving because of our policy – is a bad joke. The US Government has funded, is funding, and the Pentagon is surging the flow of arms and munitions, soldiers and contractors to Israel’s operation in Gaza – which is to say a genocide, collective punishment, calculated extermination and removal of a population for purely political and geographic gain. Nothing that Israel is doing in Gaza or the West Bank, or in southern Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East is improving Israel’s security. For a government to cultivate and channel fear and rage, among its own population and among its neighbors, in order to fight them, is a strategy doomed to failure in the long term, and we are witnessing that unfolding failure in real time today. Israel’s reputation as a safe haven for the Jewish diaspora is collapsing, along with its economy, its brain trust, and any respect the rest of the world ever had for her. She is persona non grata in the civilized world of nations, and tomorrow will become completely irrelevant to the religious and secular alike. The US, on the other hand, is aspiring to make Israel “successful” in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. The US governing elites prop up ideas there, and here, that are not only evil, but unworkable and unnecessary – and there is no reverse gear. - LewRockwell

We will definitely implement all construction plans of underwater and surface ships, we will quantitatively strengthen combat readiness of Russian Navy, our naval power in the Arctic, the Far East, the Black and Baltic Seas, and the Caspian Sea - Putin. - Intel Report Russian President Vladimir Putin inaugurated two brand-new nuclear-propelled submarines in the northern shipyard city of Severodvinsk on Monday. The two submarines, ‘Emperor Alexander III’ and ‘Krasnoyarsk,’ are set to join the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet, Putin announced during the flag-hoisting ceremony to inaugurate the vessels. “Soon, the submarine missile carriers ‘Emperor Alexander III’ and ‘Krasnoyarsk’ will begin their service with the Pacific Fleet,” Putin stated, describing the subs as “fearsome” and “unrivaled in their classes.” - RT Russian troops are attacking Ukrainian positions in all areas along the conflict front line, the commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Colonel General Aleksandr Syrsky, has said. In a Telegram post on Sunday, Syrsky acknowledged that “the operational situation in the east remains difficult” and that the Russian military “doesn’t stop conducting offensive operations along the entire front.” Ukraine is “running out of [everything],” Putin stated. “They don’t have their own base. When you don’t have your own base, don’t have your own ideology, don’t have your own industry, don’t have your own money, don’t have anything of your own, then there is no future,” he argued. - RT

  858. In a world strangled by the tentacles of odious hypocrisy, the International Olympic Committee's decision to restrict Russian and Belarusian athletes under the guise of 'neutrality' reeks of a double standard so putrid, it could only be the product of a rules-for-thee-not-for-me world order. While 19 athletes from these nations tiptoe on the Olympic stage, Israel’s unabated spree - 31,000 innocents murdered, primarily women and children, swallowed by the abyss of genocide - meets with not a whisper of sanction from the supposed guardians of global sportsmanship. And let’s not skirt around the elephant in the room: If actual rule of law governed the Olympic ethos, then NATO countries, with the United States leading the bloody parade, would find themselves perennially benched, their Olympic dreams dashed against the rocks of their own militaristic barbarism. From the smouldering ruins of regime changes to the silent cries of millions, the ledger of their sins could fill stadiums, yet their athletes roam free, unencumbered by the weight of their nations' transgressions. The irony - or is it hypocrisy? that while NATO struggles to compete with Russia in a geopolitical chess game, suffering a humiliating checkmate on the battlefield, it seeks solace in handicapping amateur athletes. A desperate grasp at ‘victory’ in the Olympic arena, perhaps, to salvage a shred of dignity from the ruins of their failed ambitions. As the world watches, let it be known: The Olympic flame, once a beacon of unity and peace, is reduced to a farcical spectacle for political machinations. - Intel Republic

  939. There has been a multifold increase in the production of weapons and ammunition in Russia since the outbreak of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in 2022, the head of the defense conglomerate Rostec has said. "Compared to 2022, the production and refurbishment of tanks at our factories increased by three-and-a-half times, and of lightly armored vehicles by three times,” the Rostec chief said. The manufacture of self-propelled artillery pieces has increased tenfold, while 14 times more towed guns are being produced, and the production of multiple rocket launch systems (MLRS) has doubled. The output of ammunition rounds for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles increased by 900%, artillery shells by 600%, and munitions for MLRS by 800%. Three times as many unguided rockets for heavy flamethrower systems are being produced, Chemezov said. According to the Rostec chief, new types of equipment have also been introduced during the conflict, such as TOS-2 heavy flamethrower systems, which are capable of firing munitions with thermobaric warheads and are “widely used in the area of the military operation.” Zemledeliye remote mine-laying systems are also being produced, as well as Krasnopol guided shells, Kub loitering munitions, and guided missiles for UAVs. Rostec is also working with JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation (KTRV) to equip standard aviation bombs with gliding modules and guidance systems, he said. The Washington Post reported in March that the use of glide bombs, which can travel long distances and have high precision, has “dramatically boosted” the effectiveness of the Russian Air Force. The Independent wrote last month that those munitions had been “changing the face” of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. - RT

  957. [Uke lies destroyed at the UN!] Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, has accused Ukrainian forces of hitting a children’s hospital with an air defense missile, declaring that if a Russian missile had struck the building, “there would be nothing left.” In an address to the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Dr. Vladimir Zhovnir, the director of Kiev’s Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, accused Russia of deliberately striking the facility on Monday. Two people died and scores were injured in the blast, Zhovnir claimed, calling the incident “not just a war crime, [but] far beyond the limit of humanity.” “Does Mr. Zhovnir understand that if it was a Russian missile, there would be nothing left of the building?” Nebenzia responded. “Children and adults would have died rather than been injured.” Nebenzia explained that Russian forces targeted the Artemov missile plant in Kiev on Monday, and that “this target was hit.” “Since the plant is located approximately 2km from the children’s hospital, there is every reason to believe that the Ukrainian air defense missile that hit it was intended for a Russian missile that hit the plant,” he stated, adding that “this tragedy could have been avoided if the Ukrainian Armed Forces had not deployed air defense in residential areas.” The Russian Defense Ministry has also explicitly denied striking the hospital. In an official statement on Monday, the ministry said that “photos and video footage from Kiev clearly confirm” that the building was hit by a falling “Ukrainian air defense missile launched from an anti-aircraft missile system within the city.” - RT

  965. I hope for the sake of your children and grand children that I am wrong, but the escalating bellicose rhetoric in the United States, Europe and Israel signals that our future is filled with the potential for horrific destruction not seen since the end of World War II. A more alarming development came in Sweden yesterday, 18 June, with the Swedish parliament giving the green-light to turn Sweden into a U.S. aircraft carrier Sweden, in accepting this deal, has made itself a primary target of Russia. This is akin to Cuba signing a deal with Russia to bring Russian nukes to Cuba and grant Russian forces access to Cuban military bases. This is suicidal. It is the Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0, only on steroids. This is an act of brazen provocation by the West, and it should not be shocked when Russian responds forcefully to prevent the U.S. from placing nuclear weapons intended for use against Russia on Swedish territory. Just one more flashpoint in an already tense world. Then there is Israel. Over the weekend, Netanyahu dissolved the six-member war cabinet, which included members of the opposition party. Unlike the United States, where the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, this power resides in the cabinet in Israel. This means that Netanyahu’s original cabinet — with bona fide terrorist crazies like Smotrich and Ben Gvir in place — has made Israel more likely to take reckless, foolish military actions, such as invading southern Lebanon. Doug MacGregor, during an hour-long chat with Danny Davis today, raised the specter of Israel using tactical nukes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. I think he is right. The only way to put the brakes on this — barring a devastating preemptive attack by Hezbollah on key Israeli military and nuclear sites — is for the U.S. to suspend all aid to Israel until it comes to its senses. I think that is highly unlikely, which means that the Zionists surrounding Netanyahu are prepared to initiate a new offensive, which will set the Middle East on fire. - Sonar21

With these moves the Biden Administration is sending a stark message to Russia — we are going to ensure Ukraine can stay in the war and are willing to risk going to war with you. Sending ATACMS is a game changer, but it does not boost Ukraine’s chances of beating the Russians. It is a “game changer” because it increases the risk that Russia may feel compelled to start hitting NATO targets that, up till now, it has left alone.

  975. For at least twenty years, Washington has been systematically engaging in policies that have destroyed ancient Christian communities in the Middle East. The US invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 destroyed the secular regime there which had provided legal protections of Christians. In the wake of Bush’s war, violence and reprisals against Christians multiplied. Bush’s war there essentially created a power vacuum that allowed for the rise of Islamist gangs throughout Iraq, culminating in the rise of ISIS which systematically destroyed Christian holy sites, and Christians themselves, across northern Iraq. While claiming to be against radical Islam, the Bush administration, and every president since, has chosen to ally with some of the most brutal Islamist regimes of the Middle East—especially Saudi Arabia—which has all but totally outlawed Christianity for generations. The US has instead set itself against the regimes of the region that actually tolerate and provide some legal protections for Christians, namely Syria (under Assad) and Iran. With Assad gone, it is likely that Christian communities in Syria will suffer as they have in Iraq. We are likely to see Islamist waves of violence against Christian churches and communities, with new mandates for the hijab and other elements of Islamist dress imposed throughout the country. Given that the conquering group is essentially al-Qaeda, we might even expect the dynamiting of ancient Christian shrines and churches. Syria, after all, is home to Damascus where St. Paul the Apostle first became a Christian and was baptized by St. Ananias of Damascus. Syria was an important center of Christian theology in early centuries under Church Fathers like Ephrem the Syrian. To this day—but perhaps for not much longer—ancient groups of Christians pray the Divine Liturgy in Aramaic, the daily language of Christ. This may soon all but vanish as Christianity is forced underground at the hands of these allies of Washington and Israel. - LewRockwell

  993. The diplomatic tango between Washington and Moscow is underway, but Trump’s promise to bring a quick end to the war in Ukraine on Trump’s terms appears more unlikely with each passing day. Prior to the conversation between the two leaders during the last four days, diplomats representing Moscow and Washington in their respective embassies did the detail work of arranging the phone diplomacy. But, according to Borizzkman, there were two, not one, conversations (this is Borizzkman’s concise eight-minute video presenting the latest developments): Putin’s position is firm and unyielding — No ceasefire or freeze-in-place, recognize the four former Ukrainian oblasts as Russian states, and dismantle Ukraine’s military so that it could never join NATO. The conversations likely took place last week, perhaps as early as 5 February. Why? Because we learned on 6 February that the US asked the UK to take over the chair of the Ukraine Defense Group which is set to meet tomorrow (Tuesday) in Brussels. Trump is sending a message to both Putin and NATO — i.e., Ukraine is no longer viewed as a US priority and that Europe is responsible for pulling Ukraine’s chestnuts from the fire. Although it appears that Uncle Sam’s Sugar Shack is now closed for future business with Ukraine, Waltz and Donald Trump still labor under the mistaken belief that they have leverage over Russia because they believe it is suffering catastrophic losses and a weakening economy. According to Waltz: Wrong on the economy Mike: Trump and his foreign policy team are wrongly assuming that Putin is desperate for a deal because, according to the bogus intel being fed to them, Russia is hurting and looking for a way to alleviate the pain. I am sure that Putin and his team will be setting that record straight. At the very time that Trump is trying to do a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, Trump is endorsing Netanyahu’s plan to blow up the ceasefire agreement and renew attacks on the Palestinians in Gaza. While Trump is smart in some of the domestic policies he is pursuing, he is exposing his ass with his obtuse grasp of the situation in Gaza and how US actions in that region shape Russia’s distrust of Trump and his policies. - sonar21

  1014. Thus, the current domino collapse of Ukraine’s defenses in the Pokrovsk direction will lead to a much greater snowballing that will lead to the collapse of the entire Konstantinovka cauldron, which would then set up the final showdown with the Kramatorsk agglomerate. Furthermore, Pokrovsk is the main hub of supply to the entire front southeast of there. Capturing Pokrovsk and cutting its main roads would pretty much atrophy the entire vast region to the southeast: There’s also the fact that Pokrovsk is the main railway hub of the entire region for the AFU: It receives large shipments and distributes them to the whole region’s settlements, like a major artery feeding hundreds of capillaries. Thus, it’s vital for the resupply and logistics of all AFU units in the vast region. In fact, what’s most interesting about this, and proves that the railway is the foremost strategic consideration of the entire ongoing operation there, is the fact that Russian troops are literally advancing along the railway. Thus, once Pokrovsk is captured, all those interior settlements to the southeast would come under immense pressure with dwindling supply routes, and their own collapse would be accelerated greatly. This is likely the reason for Zelensky’s desperate urgency in Kursk. His command likely understands the dire nature of what’s soon to come, as the entire front on this region stands to collapse after Pokrovsk falls. Zelensky needed a way to divert Russia’s attention somewhere else, but so far no slow down has been recorded for Russia’s advances in this area. Today alone, there have again been several major advances. As I mentioned, another huge swath of territory around Zhelanne has been taken, moving closer to Pokrovsk: - Simplicius

  1037. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – A strong image of Russian soldiers from the Tsentr Group of Forces attacking and capturing the trenches of Ukrainian troops struggling to slow down Russian advance on Pokrovsk direction. The Russian military channel shared a short video on January 16, 2025, in which soldiers from the Atlant Battalion of the 35th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, organize their rapid attack to neutralize one of the enemy's strongholds on the front line, encircle them and gain strategic advantage over Pokrovsk city, or Russian name “Krasnoarmeysk”. At the beginning of the work, fiber-optic FPV drone arrived at Leopard 1A5 tank, where German tanks have been a constant nightmare for Ukrainian crews of Russian operation since February 2022. Another fiber-optic FPV drone later arrived at Ukrainian defense point, which seems to be well-designed by Zelensky regime in order to hold Pokrovsk. The drone blew up one of the points, where the drone's camera showed several Ukrainian soldiers resting, unaware that danger was threatening their defense. As a result, such tactical tricks by drones helped the assault infantry to break through Kiev army’s trenches, losing control of the situation due to the sudden presence of Russian infantry with little direct fire during the attack. The Russian military reported that Ukrainian troops suffered significant losses during the cleanup and the important stronghold was captured. Speaking about Ukrainian army, of course talking about all sorts of difficulties but claim that they were never defeated. On January 15, journalist Yury Butusov wrote that the Ukrainian military commanders lost control near Pokrovsk — Butusov went on to say that Ukrainian infantry suffered significant losses in an obvious attempt to slow down the Russian troops. There were reports that the Ukrainians were retreating from the city. They did not have enough forces to confront Russian army. At the same time, the crews of Grad MLRS from the Tsentr Group of Forces destroyed Ukrainian positions in the stronghold and disrupted their rotation around Pokrovsk. The famous Russian Grad rocket launchers, fired at the location – one of Kiev’s main logistics centers which is experiencing internal tensions and logistical problems. While Russia can produce artillery shells and missiles much faster than all NATO countries combined!

  1046. The US has been using economic methods in an attempt to weaken Russia and hopefully to help get rid of Putin. The goal is to return to the sort of arrangement in place when Yeltsin was in power. These economic methods have been used against other countries, too. They include sanctions, interfering with currency transactions, interfering with gold repatriation, extra-territorial claims based on use of the US dollar, seizure of assets, and attempts to confiscate seized assets and use them for US purposes. The politicians in the West continue to promote these methods, even though mainstream scholarly works point out that in many, if not most cases, the use of such methods will not work properly. They will instead blow back on the US and cause numerous undesirable side effects and other unpleasant results. These cautionary findings have been borne out in fact. The leaders of China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Syria, and North Korea are all still in their jobs. OPEC plus Russia is still controlling the world oil market, the Russian and Chinese systems continue to replace SWIFT, more and more trade is conducted in local currencies, and the disagreements over using seized Russian assets are causing more cracks in NATO. Nations are becoming more skeptical about leaving their gold or other assets in the US or UK for safe-keeping. One opinion is that these US pillars of exceptionalism are under attack to destroy the existing system in order to ‘build back better’ and ‘you will own nothing and be happy.’ This may have made more sense back around the year 2000, before China and Russia got their act together. Whoever controlled the West, in some sense, controlled the world. Now, however, Russia and China are out from under that control and the US has been relegated to the number two position both economically and militarily. Russia is number one militarily and China is number one economically. The problem is that these facts have not sunk into the ‘little gray cells’ of the Western plutocrats, much less the mere billionaires. Asia and Africa show a distinct distaste for the ideas and plans of the WEF and most of ‘Wokism,’ and the West is too weak to force implementation in those continents. Barring a miracle (unlikely considering that the Establishment no longer believes in a miracle-working god), the end of the Age of the West is nigh. The future is with the East and the South, unless the West drastically changes course. - Sonar21

  1076. UKRAINE: HAS THE US LOST YET ANOTHER PROXY WAR? Short answer, YES!! Just like the proverbial chicken without a head, the United States is running around headless and incapable of navigating a way out of a confrontation with Russia. A confrontation that the United States cannot win. But, based on Biden’s speech tonight, the United States is going to double down on a losing hand. The Biden team apparently have decided they cannot afford a loss in Ukraine before the election so they are likely to green-light more risky terrorist attacks inside Russia, oblivious to the repeated warnings from Putin and his national security team that Russia will strike back. You want to know how bad it is? Russian soldiers posted a video today begging Biden to send more M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine and promising to give him 10% of the bonuses they will earn for destroying those tanks. That, my friends, is world class trolling. The following video shows the Ukrainians launching a desperate attack across an open field and suffering devastating casualties for their effort. The “Butcher” Syrskyi is living up to his reputation by dispatching his few remaining, capable reserves in actual human wave attacks against well entrenched Russian positions. Sheer madness. Steve Bryen did a great interview today with Bill Walton (not the basketball player). Mr. Walton has been a strong supporter of Ukraine and is coming reluctantly to the realization that Russia is mopping the floor with Ukraine. Steve does a very good job of describing the grim situation facing Ukraine. His commentary is important because Steve has been considered a part of the Washington defense establishment. His honesty shows courage and integrity. - Sonar21

  1086. Mr. President, I believe that the CIA is providing you inaccurate, false intelligence about Russia’s casualties and the condition of its economy. If you hope to realize your goal of opening negotiations with President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, you must be equipped with the best information available. You have been briefed that Russia has suffered devastating losses — as many as 800,000 casualties — and that Russia’s economy is weak and fragile. Data from open sources paint a diametrically opposite picture. It is essential that you understand that Russia views this war as vital to its continued existence. Russia is not fighting to reconstitute the Soviet Empire. It sees Ukraine as a Western-proxy being used to attack Russia with US-and NATO-supplied weapons and intelligence, with the ultimate goal of destroying the current government. Accordingly, the only satisfactory outcome for Russia is to end this threat. President Putin is willing to accept a negotiated settlement provided that Ukraine is stripped of its capacity to launch future attacks on Russia and that NATO ends any consideration of making Ukraine a member of NATO. Here is the critical point: the IMF’s forecast suggests that Russia’s economy continues to show resilience in the face of Western sanctions, largely due to factors such as robust oil and commodity exports to countries like India and China, and the expansion of its military-industrial complex. President Vladimir Putin uses these economic indicators to argue that Western sanctions have been ineffective and to showcase Russia’s economic model to partners in Asia and Africa. His message is resonating with the leaders of the Global South. If you consider Russia’s perspective on the war in terms of casualties and the economy, Vladimir Putin is under no pressure to reach a negotiated settlement that does not address Russia’s strategic concerns that it will no longer face a military threat from NATO. If you fail to understand this and adjust your strategy to make a deal, your efforts to negotiate an end to war in Ukraine will not succeed. - sonar21

  1093. Donald Trump may be clear-minded when it comes to Russian history, but he started the “sanctions race” with Moscow, President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov has said. In a Fox News interview earlier this week, Trump pointed out that the Russian “war machine” defeated both Napoleon and Hitler, so stopping the Ukraine conflict had to be a priority for him if re-elected. Meanwhile, his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outlined “a Trump peace plan” in the Wall Street Journal that seemed at odds with the Republican candidate’s actual position. Commenting on both matters, Peskov complimented Trump for “knowing history in such depth” as few other Americans seemed to, but maintained that he was still “a representative of the US political elite that is now definitely suffering from total Russophobia.” “Of course, we saw this article and various other statements. We have never worn rose-colored glasses,” Peskov told reporters. The Kremlin press secretary reminded reporters that the US introduced “a huge number of sanctions” against Russia during Trump’s presidency, so “there isn’t much of a difference” between him and other American politicians, from Moscow’s standpoint. “He shows a little more wisdom in terms of maintaining channels of dialogue, but this does not have much of an influence on anything,” Peskov concluded. Pompeo’s op-ed blamed the Ukraine conflict on the “weakness” of current US president, Joe Biden, and accused him for leaving Ukraine “without the means to win” and having “no strategy for victory.” According to the former State Department head, a plan for peace through strength would involve revitalizing the US economy; imposing “real sanctions” on Russia; creating an anti-Iranian bloc in the Middle East; “revitalizing” NATO; and giving Ukraine $500 billion worth of “lend-lease” military equipment, while lifting all restrictions on its use. The terms he proposed for ending the Ukraine conflict involve freezing the current frontline while not recognizing any of Russia’s “occupation and claimed annexation,” handing Ukraine Russia’s frozen central bank reserves as reparations, “demilitarizing” Crimea and admitting Kiev to NATO and the EU, whereupon the sanctions on Russia might be gradually lifted. - RT

  1103. [Great Response from Medvedev and Maria!] Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has vehemently rejected the EU’s demand that Moscow return gold that it claims belongs to Romania, describing it as “impudence.” On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on Moscow to send back 91.5 metric tons of gold and cultural artifacts that were exported to the Russian Empire in 1916-1917 by Romania. Writing on his social media page on Friday, Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s National Security Council, stated that “I don’t even know how to respond to such impudence.” ”The EU has stolen $300 billion worth of Russian assets and is now demanding that Russia return gold to Romania. There is nothing to say except f*** off,” Medvedev wrote. Previously, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova had pointed out that in 1935, the USSR had already returned a portion of the valuables to Romania as a “sign of good will.” She also recalled that the Soviet Union had forgiven Romania all of its debts for the “troubles and destruction” that it caused in Russia during World War II, when Bucharest was an ally of Nazi Germany. That was “despite all the atrocities that Hitler’s Romanian allies committed on our land. And this is no less than $300 million in reparations, i.e., if converted to today’s money, it would be something in the region of $4 billion,” Zakharova wrote on her official Telegram channel. The spokeswoman went on to state that if these Romanian debts to Russia and the Soviet Union were expressed in terms of bullion, they would be equivalent to 1,365–1,665 tons of gold, which is “20-25 times more than Romania’s entire gold reserve that was sent to Russia in 1916-1917.” Zakharova claimed that Romania was now using “Russophobic platforms, such as the European Parliament, which is ready for any excuse to force onto us its century-old phantom debts.” She suggested that Bucharest’s demand may be part of a desperate attempt to fix the “deplorable situation” in Romania’s “national economy, against the backdrop of farm strikes throughout the country. - RT

  1110. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The situation as of the morning of November 23, 2024, Russian soldiers who developing on their progress in Chasov Yar, have consolidated their positions in the industrial zone of the city, Russian military experts report. Russian troops are defeating Ukrainian Nationalists in fierce battles that are still going on here with direct tank and mortar fire. The Akhmat Special Forces of the 78th Motorized Rifle Regiment "Sever-Akhmat" is working together with the 4th Brigade of the 3rd Army of the Southern Military District, Ramzan Kadyrov said while releasing a video. Operational information from one of the most difficult sections of the front line was reported by the Commander of the assault detachment of the Special Forces Akhmat with the call sign "Shustry", because Ukrainian nationalists use ordinary people as human shields. However, they will do this only if civilians are completely safe, then it will not be difficult for them to destroy the building where the enemy is located together with personnel as in the footage. Meanwhile, the 2S9 “Nona-S” self-propelled artillery system, moved towards the firing position and attacked targets near the city located in Donetsk, which is defended by the Nationalist “Azov” Brigade. Combat footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows the Paratroopers “Kostroma” of the Russian Airborne Forces, operating 120 mm self-propelled guns towards the positions where Ukrainian Nationalists are hiding. Paratroopers detected the platoon’s fortifications protecting the Nationalists during a reconnaissance operation. The “Nona-S”, well camouflaged in the ruins, opened heavy fire, destroying the fortifications in the process and likely the Nationalists positions. Paratroopers then entered the destroyed fortifications and cleared them quickly! Russian units continue to push the enemy every day, advancing 1.5 kilometers in fierce fighting and gaining a foothold in the center of Chasov Yar. Now, 30% of the city’s territory is under the control of Russian forces, they have taken control of its industrial zone, military expert Andrey Marochko said. Meanwhile, in the center of Chasov Yar there is a decisive battle for the refractory factory, destroying Ukrainian positions in the buildings, which will decide the fate of the city!

The scale of sanctions is unprecedented; no country in the world would theoretically be able to withstand such a blow.

  1124. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Infographic footage shows the number of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who fighting for Kiev, have been killed and abandoned in their failed attempt to defend a settlement of Nikolayevo-Daryino Kursk Region, which has been liberated by the Russian Armed Forces. Russian military correspondents released rare and sensitive footage on March 2, 2025, Russian servicemen conducted further combing operations in the settlement area, both in the forest belt and in resident 's homes, showing the terrible situation where the death toll of Ukrainian soldiers is fantastic, abandoned there by their comrades and survived for almost a month due to the cold weather. Remember! Nikolayevo-Daryino, located right on Russia-Ukraine border was liberated by the 83rd Separate Air Assault Brigade, around the end of January after Ukrainian forces had been in the area for more than six months since August 2024. The Russian Defense Ministry revealed that Ukrainian soldiers there took hostages as human shields, about 17 civilians were killed, and 4 people died due to lack of medical assistance during the occupation. Now, Russian combing reveal the strangeness of Ukraine continued offensive into Kursk, but it continues to bring heavy and futile losses, losing hundreds of soldiers life even in every settlement. Russian soldiers conducting the sweeps said in conversations that up to 200 Ukrainian soldiers were killed, found and left in piles of snow and in their shelters in civilian buildings. So far, until March 2, Russian troops have advanced from positions near Nikolayevo-Daryino across the Ukrainian border and entered the village of Zhuravka from the north. In Kursk, Russian troops have pushed Ukrainian troops back from their defensive positions, from Nikolayevo-Daryino to the western outskirts of Sverdlikovo to the south of Sverdlikovo, crossing the state border towards Novyen’kyi. Russia is exerting strong pressure in their offensive to hasten the capture of Kursk, where recent documentation shows Ukrainian fortifications being destroyed in rapid succession!

  1154. It is one thing for the addled Joe Biden to be clueless about the true situation on the ground, but many of the NATO leaders in the audience also were applauding this crap. They cannot plead guilty by way of cognitive decline. The claim that, “Ukraine is winning and Russia is losing,” is a craven lie. Ukrainian forces are being pulverized by missiles, 3000 kg FAB bombs and drones. And neither the United States nor the rest of the NATO countries have a stockpile of 155mm artillery shells and air defense systems that they can send to Ukraine. This is pure malpractice by Biden’s speech writers. The anticipated mini-counteroffensive never materialized. Instead, Russia is hitting Ukraine all along the 1000 km front and Ukraine is steadily retreating. Maybe, behind closed doors, the NATO members will fess up and admit that Russia is eating Ukraine’s lunch and bleeding NATO dry in the process. Biden bragged that the United States has 100,000 troops now deployed in Europe. Wow! I bet the Russians, who have 1.3 million active duty soldiers, are quaking in their boots. Today’s speech is nothing more than political theater intended primarily for the American political audience. But the youngsters who crafted this garbage had no understanding how these words will be heard in Russia. Russian planners, unless they are fools, will conclude that NATO is intent on attacking Russia and Russia will prepare accordingly. NATO is not altering course and is not disposed to seek any peaceful resolution with Russia. The Russians understand that and are ramping up accordingly. - Sonar21

Zelensky like a sneaky rat then leaves the room before word of Russian FM Lavrov. - Intel Report The Ukrainian Morale in the Battlefield: A Snapshot It’s now firmly established that the Ukrainian counter-offensive turned out to be the feeder of a bloody meat grinder of astonishing proportions. Of every 100 people who joined Ukrainian units last Fall, months before the counter-offensive, only 10 to 20 remain. The rest are dead, wounded or incapacitated. These stats were confirmed by the online publication Poltavashchyna. This is a report prepared by the temporary acting commander of the 2nd mechanized battalion of military unit A4007, Captain Dmytro Bilyi. He is reporting directly to the commander of the military unit. Bilyi says that between April 19 and 20, 2023, he as temporary acting commander as well as other officers have concluded that the 2nd battalion had reached critically low morale and psychological conditions. The battalion had also suffered numerous sanitary and irretrievable losses. Most soldiers refused to perform combat missions. The level of morale in different companies was evaluated as ranging between 20% and 42%. This is an urgent report on the critically low level of combat readiness of the 5th company of the 2nd battalion. The staffing of the company fell to 60% – and the unit needs to be withdrawn from the frontline. - lewrockwell The fact is that it’s becoming increasingly clear that some of the worst, most extreme predictions on Ukrainian losses could in fact be true. This extends to things like POW captures, for instance with yesterday’s new report that already 3,500 AFU soldiers had surrendered since the launch of Russia’s new project to have a special “surrender frequency” on all radio channels where Ukrainians can dial in and safely surrender to Russian forces: Sadly, Ukrainian troops are just getting mowed down at this point. We saw a month or two ago they began their shift toward full-blown “meat assault” tactics because their armor had begun to run uncomfortably low. There is now numerous evidence of this in the form of videos showing either Ukrainian troops on foot simply plying through the open fields, or at most using their remaining light mobility vehicles: New drone footage of Klescheyevka refutes Ukraine’s claim of controlling it, as it shows a desolate wasteland with no troops from either side occupying it: But though the U.S. and allies are desperately trying to set the world on fire to weaken Russia around its peripheries in any way they can, all these efforts are little more than chaff in the wind and will have no effect on the SMO. And as always we must remember that this pales in comparison to Russia’s own much more successful hybrid/asymmetric warfare conducted against the Atlanticists in Africa and elsewhere. - Simplicius KEEPING THE PEACE: On second day of flare-up in Nagorno-Karabakh breakaway region, Russian peacekeepers evacuate over 2 thousand civilians. Russian forces soothe small kids in arms alongside civilians in tears in conflicting combination of relief and grief as Moscow forces temporarily shelter them to safety at base before evacuating them to safety.

  1158. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – After a major strategic victory, the Russian Armed Forces captured VelikayaNovosyolka, continued to advance in their efforts to gain full control of southern Donetsk, and the Ukrainian hardware nearby clearly still under threat. The Russian Defense Ministry released footage on February 11, 2025, showing Russian troops burning more Ukrainian hardware and crews in Dneproenergiya, NovyKomar, and even in Konstantinopol which is a little far away. Every day, FPV drone operators from the Vostok Group of Forces search for enemy armored vehicles, engage and eliminate them. In the early stages, the drone arrived on a pick-up truck while picking up soldiers fighting for the Kiev regime, but it didn't go as planned! Later, the drones arrived on several other armored vehicles with explosions and heavy fire on the vehicles, causing irreparable damage. Mortar positions with weapons hidden in the forest plantations, would not have escaped the attention of Russian drone operators identified from Ukrainian firing positions. The Vostok Group is relentlessly disabling the hardware that appears in the surrounding area, supporting the advance of Russian assault forces into the depths of enemy defenses on the South Donetsk direction. In the past three days, 5 armored combat vehicles, 12 field artillery guns, 15 motorized vehicles and more than 10 mortar positions were destroyed by Russian UAV near Velikaya Novosyolka, the Ministry of Defense calculates. In this direction, new footage has emerged showing another Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle "M113" made in the United States, apparently charred after a fire.

  1161. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Several local Middle East media outlets reported an explosion at the Russian Hmeimim Airbase in the western coast of Syria near Jableh. This was the result of an Israeli Navy attack, not an Air Force attack near the airbase, sources reported today on October 3, 2024. The target and perpetrators have not been officially confirmed, but local sources spoke of the possibility of a Russian ammunition depot, one of several that were targeted. Both Syrian and Russian air defenses were active, but a missile escaped, causing the explosion at night. Rumors are circulating that warehouses inside Hmeimim were attacked shortly after the Iranian cargo arrived at the base. It is known that the Syrian opposition does not have the ability to do such things. Currently, Zionist forces are carrying out massive bombings in Syria, more than 50 missiles were launched in Latakia, Jableh, and Tartous regions, including some hitting the Hmeimim Airbase, where the Russian Aerospace Forces operate actively participating with the Syrian Arab Army to fight the enemy aggressor in their illusions of toppling the Assad government. If proven, Zionists are playing with fire and will eventually get burned, something that has been on the minds of the experts. However, indications seem to be clear that Russia has advised its citizens to leave Israel immediately following the attack. The Russian ambassador in Tel Aviv highlighted the escalation in the region and urged its 1.5 million citizens to take advantage of the evacuation opportunity. Anatoly Viktorov urged Russians to get out of Israel before it is too late. "Leave while you still can," Viktorov said. Russia has also begun evacuating its citizens from Lebanon. It is strongly suspected that something big is about to happen!

  1167. In short, Russia’s 2024 South Donetsk offensive has thus far succeeded in driving the AFU out of its frontline strongpoints which it had defended doggedly since the beginning of the war: Ugledar, Krasnogorivka, and Avdiivka have fallen, and Toretsk (the northernmost of these fortresses) is contested with Russian control over half of the city. The two cities that formerly acted as vital rear area hubs for the AFU (Pokrovsk and Kurakhove) are in the rear no longer, and have become frontline cities. Kurakhove in particular is likely to fall in the coming weeks. The Russians are, in a word, poised to complete their victory in Southern Donetsk. It is important not to understate the operational and strategic significance of this. In the simplest terms, this will be a significant advancement towards Russia’s explicit war aims of capturing the Donbas oblasts (putting Russia in control of some 70% of Donetsk and 90%+ of Lugansk). Nevertheless, we do clearly see the Russian army making significant progress towards its goals. It will be able to write off much of the southeastern sector of front, with the AFU evicted from their powerful chain of prewar fortresses around the city of Donetsk. These losses raise an uncomfortable question for Ukraine: if they could not successfully defend in Avdiivka, Ugledar, and Krasnogorivka, with their long built-up defenses and powerful backfields, where exactly is their defense supposed to stabilize? We must also ask another salient question then: on the precipice of losing South Donetsk, with a full 100 kilometers of front unraveling, why are many of Ukraine’s best brigades loitering 350 kilometers away in Kursk Oblast? In more abstract strategic terms, however, Kursk has been a disaster for Kiev. Within the expansive reach of Kiev’s self-declared war aims, including the phantasmagorical return of Crimea and Donetsk, it has never been quite clear how these operations are correlated. Russia, in contrast, has pursued its war aims with consistent clarity and a great reluctance to take risks and allow its energies to dissipate. Moscow wants, at an absolute minimum, to consolidate control over the Donbas and the land bridge to Crimea, while trashing the Ukrainian state and neutering its military potential. - Big Serge Thought

  1170. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The legendary Akhmat Special Forces shared the first footage of their exit through the gas pipeline on the way to Sudzha in the historic operation of the Russian Armed Forces, which will mark the final stage of the Kursk offensive. The footage was published on March 12, 2025 by a commander of the Akhmat Special Forces "Hades Group" with the call sign "Aid", revealing the successful operation of the Russian Gazprom pipeline by the assault group of the "Akhmat", also involving the 11th Airborne Brigade, the 30th Regiment, and the Russian Spetsnaz Special Forces. Immediately after exiting the gas pipeline in the Kubatkino farm area, all this was right behind the lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, disrupting the positions of enemy troops, securing key positions, and destroying them in Sudzha, which has now almost all been liberated. The fighters fought shoulder to shoulder, united by a common goal - to protect the homeland, and Russian values. 'The liberation of Sudzha from the Armed Forces of Ukraine is only a matter of 10 days. The Ukrainian forces have only two options. Try to leave Sudzha or die forever, said the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces, Hero of Russia Apti Alaudinov, on the "60 Minutes" show about the liberation of Kursk Region. As of March 12, almost the entire Sudzha salient is under Russian control, as shown in the footage. They have surrounded Sudzha from almost all sides, and fighting is already going on around Sudzha itself. The rest of the territory, in principle, is almost all cleared - all forest plantations, all residential areas, almost everything is liberated. There are still a few settlements left that have not been completely cleared. The capture of Sudzha marks a further collapse of the Ukrainian military amid NATO's silence on these losses, exposing their failure to support Kiev's failure. Reportedly, Ukrainian forces are retreating from Zamostye under heavy fire. Recent footage shows Russian soldiers checking monitors, where a large group of Ukrainian troops are retreating westward on Rosa Luxemburg Street in the western part of Sudzha, likely fleeing towards the border. Clear indications that Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from the eastern part of Sudzha. The next video shows a Russian soldier walking leisurely along Oktyabrskaya Street and its surroundings. As a reminder, the footage shows how the commander of the Special Forces 'Akhmat' Apti Alaudinov explains the task to his fighters a few days before they crawl through the gas pipeline to Sudzha on March 1. 'We will change the course of this war completely,' Alaudinov added. And he is absolutely right!

  1173. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian Armed Forces rescue civilians amid Ukrainian forces’ incursion into the liberated settlement of Ulakly west of Kurakhovo. On February 23, 2025, the Russian Defense Ministry shared footage of the evacuation of about a dozen civilians from the settlement by Vostok Troops Group soldiers from the 39th Motorized Rifle Brigade. The soldiers transported the people to a temporary accommodation area, where Russian forces provided clean clothes, hot food, and allowed the civilians to rest. The rescue operation lasted more than 24 hours, and civilians were the top priority for Russian forces, underscoring the ongoing fighting amid Ukrainian efforts to move from Konstantinopol to disrupt Russian positions west of Ulakly settlement. Footage from February 22 showed the movement of armored vehicles at the entrance to the settlement, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at the forward formations, trying to repel the Russian mechanized attack as fierce fighting ensued. Meanwhile, units of the 39th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 68th Army Corps of the “South” Group detailed the liberation of Ulakly. The soldiers advanced under Ukrainian fire during the assault, destroying fortified enemy positions and personnel in residential areas, sheltering in houses as well as objective control from Russian reconnaissance and drone strikes, as well as other weapons at their disposal in large numbers. The attack demonstrated the precision and effectiveness of Russian forces in eliminating a strong Ukrainian defense, but they were trapped in a “cauldron,” strategically located south of Donetsk. As a result of the successful attack, Russian units cleared the eastern side, forcing Ukraine to retreat and reassess its increasingly eroded defense strategy and disrupted supply chains. The Russian military benefited from this as it advanced from Ulakly towards key settlements adjacent to it along the front line, amid ongoing fighting. On February 21, the 68th Army Corps raised several Russian flags there, a symbolic gesture of control, reinforcing Russian presence and authority in the region. The Ulakly situation is a further example of a broader trend of Russian military successes, which are making it increasingly difficult for Kiev to hold onto disputed territory as it faces increasing pressure on multiple fronts. So far, Ulakly has been completely liberated and it seems the Defense Ministry has not made an official announcement amidst the ongoing civilian rescue. And now, it's Konstantinople's turn!

  1199. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The Bravery of Russian soldiers on the battlefield led to the elimination of an assault detachment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which had just been deployed to a defensive position near Glubokoye in Kharkov region. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry, which released a short video on January 18, 2025, showing an Ukrainian armored vehicle carrying the assault detachment while firing several shots for unknown reasons. The operators of the Northern Army reconnaissance drones of the Russian Armed Forces of the Sever Group of Forces were working against the enemy there, but a group of Ukrainian assault detachments managed to take cover by rushing into the basement next to a building, partially protecting themselves from drones and even artillery fire. They probably thought that their position was safe there! However, an interesting scene happened because six members of the Kiev Army did not take into account the proximity of the brave soldiers of the Northern Army of the 11th Army Corps of the Sever Group of Forces. Three soldiers were in the immediate vicinity of the Ukrainian assault detachment's hiding place. At the right moment, one soldier silently approached the building, dropped a backpack with anti-tank mines right into the defensive room, and then rushed away from the place. Instantly a powerful explosion destroyed the basement even splashes of soil flew into the air. According to reports, at least six members of the assault detachment were eliminated, this was made possible by the quick thinking of a soldier during the battle.

  1214. Things appear no better this week on WWIII’s European front. That unelected worm, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at a Monday May 13th meeting of the Policy Exchange think tank, actually stated: [If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, UK] might be next, [adding that Moscow’s] recklessness has taken us closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. All these Western puppets read from the same central banking cartel mono-script. This City of London weasel actually accused Russia of cutting off the West’s gas/oil supply when it was Western puppets following orders of their moneychanging masters to destroy Russia with unending economic sanctions that is chiefly the cause of the West’s mess today. Now facing the worst economic collapse ever, unable to heat their homes and factories during the winter, the West is undergoing the elites’ controlled demolition, gutting out all Western economies assured to bring the intended outcome, the plotted diabolical death of Western civilization itself. Regarding Rishi Sunak blaming Russia for “nuclear escalation,” again Maria reminded simpleton it was the West greenlighting Zelensky’s repeated shelling of Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant at Zaporozhye NPP that endangered the entire European continent, not Russia. Maria confronted that Russia stopped its energy deliveries to Europe, correcting him that it was not Russia but US-UK criminal collaborative betrayal that destroyed supposed ally Germany’s energy lifeline with Russia, the sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines. Always these robotic, order-following globalist tools in Europe/US constantly try passing themselves off as “good guys,” the false saviors of Western democracy and freedom, vainly attempting to cover up their suicidally following their masters’ deadly policies clearly intent on destroying the entire West. These puppets cannot hide this dark truth no matter how much they lie. - LewRockwell

  1216. Well, I was wrong again. I thought that Donald Trump’s scheme to take control of Gaza and send the Palestinians to some great, new homes in Egypt and Jordan was just a negotiating ploy. Nope. He is serious about it and persists insisting that it is a great idea and has the backing of Arab nations in the region. Nope. That dog won’t hunt. Trump met today with Jordan’s King Abdullah and reiterated his pitch at a lengthy impromptu press conference in the Oval Office. King Abdullah sat uncomfortably by his side, blinking furiously like a newly hatched owl exposed to a klieg light, and offered up the weak proposal that his country would provide medical treatment in Jordan for 2,000 Palestinian children. When Trump insisted that Egypt would be on board, Abdullah demurred and said that Egypt was in contact with other Arab nations and would offer a proposal in the future. Well, the future for Egypt did not take long to arrive: Trump is talking nonsense and none of the Arab leaders, despite Washington’s threats, are endorsing his proposal. Trump’s description of the Palestinian plight in Gaza is totally divorced from reality. He ignores the genocide. The residents of Gaza did not destroy their homes, their schools, their mosques and their hospitals. The Zionists did that . . . with American help to boot. US-supplied bombs created the vast devastation across Gaza. Hamas did not do that. During the press conference with Bibi, Trump’s recitation of the events in Gaza over the past 16 months reflected the worst of Israeli propaganda: Hamas did not slaughter children and babies. That is a Zionist trope. And the carnage? The Israelis have murdered at least 60,000 men, women and children, while the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 left 1,139 dead Israelis. However, there is evidence that as many as 500 of the Israeli casualties were inflicted by the Israeli military. Israel, not Hamas, is responsible for the “sustained aggressive and murderous assault.” This will be Trump’s war going forward — breaking his promise to his voters not to get the US involved in more wars. Once Israel starts attacking the Palestinians, Hezbollah and the Houthis will renew their attacks on Israel, which will tempt Trump to expand the US role in the conflict. Trump’s honeymoon will be over and the political inroads Trump made with Arab American voters will be demolished. - sonar21

  1217. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Again and again, that Kiev officials were brought to their knees in despair after another strategically important city on Pokrovsky direction, Ukrainsk, was completely under the control of Russian Army on September 17, 2024. Footage shared by Russian military correspondent, Rudenko, shows two Russian soldiers planting Soviet Union flag on top of the building, which now fully controls Ukrainsk Mine, while lowering the Blue and Yellow flag from its pole. Ukrainian troops were unable to hold Ukrainsk, located in Donetsk region, as a result, their defenses broke, and they gained momentum to retreat without permission to their strongholds to the West rather than face the great risk of being attacked by Russian assault troops. The takeover of Ukrainsk which Kiev did not comment on, came after 2 weeks of fierce fighting, which was completely cleared by The 114th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces. Russian troops had advanced from the eastern outskirts of the town on September 3, and by then, the defenses here were held by The 25th Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But, they came under heavy fire in waves from Russian assault troops, who set their positions ablaze in buildings and in defensive trenches. Artillery and drone fire worked in this regard, their positions were surrounded by a pincer movement that tightened the pressure on the town, describing the situation as “very complicated.” Afterwards, the remnants of The 25th Brigade were pushed straight back and hastily withdrawn, heading outside Ukrainsk. The capture of Ukrainsk underlined Russian steady advance, and no doubt Kiev retaliated with desperate attacks on Russian military infrastructure, diverting attention from the latest defeats on the battlefield. It is an artillery ammunition depot that was hit, and the massive explosion was truly devastating, on Wednesday night in Toropets in Tver region, which is about 500km from the country’s border. However, the facility reportedly held ammunition such as 122mm Grad MLRS, and not anything too expensive like high-end cruise missiles or guided munitions, so in theory it was a negligible hit. By doing so, Russian forces could place more artillery beyond the reach of Ukrainian defenses, potentially setting the stage for a new assault on Pokrovsky.

  1239. Yep, things are going just swell with Israel’s War Cabinet. Looks like the same lack of professionalism demonstrated by the Israeli military in Gaza is spilling over into the political chambers. All of this comes on the heels of another Haaretz report on the investigation into the murder of three Israeli hostages by the Israeli military. That report is a stunner. Here are the lowlights: The military investigation concludes that the soldiers and senior commanders operating in the area were not informed of a building found two days before the incident on which the words ‘Help, 3 hostages’ and ‘SOS’ were painted. The soldier who shot the three Israeli hostages Samer al-Talalka, Yotam Haim and Alon Shamriz confirmed that he saw them carrying a white cloth, but did not have time to “make sense” of the situation. Other soldiers opened fire at Haim and killed him, in violation of an explicit order which, they say, they “did not fully understand,” after their commander called on the hostage to emerge from the building he had run into. At 9:49, two soldiers noticed Haim moving and opened fire, in spite of their commander’s order. The hostage was killed instantly. The investigation determined that the order to hold fire was heard clearly, but the soldiers claimed that they hadn’t understood the order, thinking it was a temporary order, meant to enable them to listen and ensure there was no enemy fire in the area. It was further argued that soldiers were not sure about the rules of engagement, especially with regard to unarmed men, even though the IDF is operating in a densely populated area, calling on Hamas fighters to surrender. Ponder that for a moment. Soldiers are given a “cease fire” order but only considered it a temporary suggestion. And they were not “sure” about the Rules of Engagement (ROE). The hostages were unarmed. They had their shirts off and it could be clearly seen they were not wearing a bomb belt. This incident confirms that Israeli soldiers have standing Rules of Engagement to shoot unarmed persons. - Sonar21

  1252. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Viral videos on the internet show how all Iranian missiles hit their designated targets in the occupied Palestinian territories, at the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel, which Iran said was the time to give a firm response to the Zionist regime's aggression. The attack on the night of October 1, 2024, about 25 to 40 hypersonic missiles managed to evade Israeli anti-missile shield, and the US Navy Ship failed to intercept the missiles, which hit the military base directly. It is known that Nevatim Airbase, which is located 15 km from the Negev desert, is an air base that houses a squadron of fighter jets such as the F-35, and used to be a place where Israel received American bombs in the aggression on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Now, the air base is being destroyed to the maximum by order of the Supreme Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces, AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI! Chief of General Staff of the IRGC Armed Forces, Major General Muhammad Baqeri asserted that “In this Operation True Promise 2, Iran targeted the Mossad base in Tel Aviv, the Nevatim Airbase, the Hatzerim Base which houses the F-35 and F-15 used in the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the IDF radar arrays, and the staging area for Israeli tanks.” Initial damage assessments reported that the Nevatim Air Base as well as Israel’s so-called Air Force One were badly damaged by the unhindered missile strikes, making them now inoperable. Open sources said that around 20 F-35 5th generation fighter jets, which bombed the Gaza Strip and Lebanon with over 85,000 tons of explosives last year, have been disabled there. Iran finally broke its long silence and launched a large-scale missile attack. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards said the attack was in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas political director Haniyeh, Hezbollah supreme leader Nasrallah, and Revolutionary Guard Brigadier General Abbas Nirfurshan.''If the aggressor responds with a counterattack, we will target all its infrastructure, retaliating a thousand times over,'' Muhammad Baqeri warned. Currently, regular and extensive flights of dozens of Iranian warplanes are being carried out across the country, on alert to detect and neutralize possible attacks by Zionist fighter jets.

TIME Magazine Profile Depicts Grim Führerbunker-Stage of Zelensky's Conflict The lack of manpower has become so dire for the AFU that even if all the newfangled weapons from the West were to be delivered, Ukraine may no longer even have the men to use them: More and more voices have risen from the ranks of the AFU recently stating that they are flat out running out of men. This included the countless videos explaining how soon the entire population will have to be mobilized, man, woman, and child. Ukraine was defeated by its own Western propaganda. Now, the most aware pro-Ukrainian pundits are desperately trying to steer their flock back to rational thinking—but it’s too late. Some accounts have even pointed out how desperately pro-UA supporters have been trying to gin-up fake losses, for instance posting this one infamous photo of a field of corpses and trying to pass it off as Russian “meat assault losses” in Avdeevka. Only problem is, those were Ukrainian dead from Bakhmut as many well-trusted accounts have pointed out: In Kherson, Ukraine continues to claim some ‘successes’ but in fact the real intel is that they’re suffering nothing but absolute horrors there. A video emerged showing Ukrainian troops being fired upon by Polish mercenary “blocking detachments” to force them to cross the Dnieper. There are mutinies everywhere and the Ukrainian internal boards are filled with howling rage at the treacheries: Russia has continued to repel massive strikes on Crimea and Sevastopol.

Military experts recognized the Russian missile strike on the 47th arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southeastern part of the 'Khmelnytskyi' Oblast as the most powerful not only during all time of the current conflict but also in the entire history of wars since the beginning of the 1950s of the last century. - BORZZIKMAN

  1274. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The situation in recent days in Kherson, the Ukrainian defenses along the Right Bank of the Dnipro River, has been a disaster almost every day with heavy losses. As a result of Kiev's senseless attacks on the Left Bank, important infrastructure such as fortifications, including personnel and equipment, are then subjected to merciless attacks by the Russian Armed Forces, which continue to build up their forces and control the sector. One of the most well-guarded and well-prepared outposts on Korabelov Island, in the western part of the Kherson agglomeration, was hit by a Russian airstrike, as shown in the footage on February 22, 2025. It is reported that the outpost was home to some of the most trained Ukrainian drone operators among Kiev's forces, EW systems and a communications center. Two FAB bombs hits on the buildings reduced the number of Ukrainian crews to a minimum. Kherson is a favorite hideout for Kiev's troops in high-rise buildings, in the basements of destroyed buildings, where they are attacked daily by Russian drone operators, aircraft and artillery. Every morning, they try to rotate and deliver supplies, but these attempts often end in disaster, with Russian reconnaissance constantly detecting Ukrainian drone launch sites and systematically destroying them, as in the footage from February 24. The successful attack was carried out by Russian drone dropping two mortars, hitting the position of two Ukrainian drone operators, who were leaving their drone and entering an underground fortification. The first mortar blast caused the enemy drones to burn out, while the second mortar destroyed the entrance to the fortification, likely burning the personnel inside. So far, Russian forces have been unhindered in their offensive on the Right Bank of the Dnipro River, amid ongoing training for the crossing of the river by the 18th Army of the Russian Armed Forces. Footage on February 25 shows Russian motorized riflemen from the Dnieper assault unit entering the Ukrainian protected area at Antonovsky Bridge, moving from Konka River along the highway and landing near Dacha, Antonovsky. The soldiers entered the ruins after the successful Russian airstrike, and are now searching for Ukrainian soldiers who may have survived in the snow. Remember! It was a futile attack by Kiev that kept screaming “victory,” as its losses were horrific but unreported. Reportedly, Russian forces maintained control—the situation remained unchanged, though tense but stable.

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Ukrainian sources confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered more heavy losses, killing up to 150 Ukrainian soldiers, including up to 30 foreign instructors at the Novomoskovsky Training Ground, near Cherkaske in Dnipropetrovsk Region. Kiev’s losses were also confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry, which released a short video on March 2, 2025, showing an Iskander-M Operational-Tactical Missile System strike, signaling a major blow to Ukrainian forces and their international training partners at the NATO training ground. Russian reconnaissance had detected suspicious activity at the military training ground, in the formation area of the 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Cherkaske. Iskander missile carrying cluster munitions, killed a group of enemy soldiers while they were training at the time. In addition to the dramatic loss of personnel, Iskander blast also destroyed 32 vehicles at the site, and it is suspected that foreign instructors, including NATO personnel, were present at the facility. With the loss of personnel and equipment, Ukraine’s training capacity could be compromised, which could delay or disrupt future military operations. The attack also served as a reminder of Russian ability to target vital military infrastructure and personnel, including those of foreign countries involved in the conflict. The Iskander strike were part of an ongoing effort by the Russian Armed Forces to destroy key military training facilities and disrupt Ukrainian combat readiness.

  1305. Joe Biden, amidst his mental confusion, must think he is John Mccain reincarnated. I bet he’s humming, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb; Bomb Bomb Iran.” You know how it is, Iranians, Yemenis, they all look alike. While the bombs are causing some damage in Yemen, Yemen has seen it before and is unfazed. In fact, the bombing appears to be strengthening the resolve of Yemen to continue its blockade of the Red Sea. The United States does not have enough bombs to force Yemen to surrender. Why? Yemen’s rocket and missile force is mobile. They can move dozens of missiles at the same time in different directions, which then forces the United States, notwithstanding robust ISR, to find the needles in the haystack that is Yemen. The U.S. can kill and destroy some, but not all. But that is not the big problem. The U.S. Navy does not have the ability to sustain its presence off the coast of Yemen. Yemen can launch a hundred drones and missiles at U.S. ships and the destroyer escorts will exhaust their supply of air defense missiles. In the 1970s the U.S. Navy had ship tenders that could pull alongside a destroyer and resupply it. Not today. The Vertical Launch Systems have to be reloaded in a port. That means the destroyers will have to sail to Dubai, which means the U.S. aircraft carrier they are accompanying will have to follow because it relies on them for protection from ballistic and cruise missiles. Here’s the bottom-line, if you are going to get into a gun fight you better have enough ammunition on hand to finish it. Only we’re not talking about having a million rounds of 9 mm pistol ammunition. The missiles the Aegis system uses are damn expensive. Yemen is showing how a so-called third rate military can effectively bankrupt the Naval power of a “Superpower.” The neo-cons urging Biden to attack Iran are math challenged. Iran has more missiles, drones and rockets than Yemen. If little Yemen is doing this to the U.S., just imagine the havoc Iran could cause. Washington is like the degenerate gambler who is playing a losing game of blackjack. Instead of accepting his losses, Joe Biden seems intent on doubling down and destroying the reputation of the U.S. Navy as the most powerful force in the World. I suspect the Russians and Chinese are enjoying some heaping buckets of buttered popcorn as they watch this spectacle of national suicide. - Sonar21

  1306. Defeat in Ukraine may be but one part to an accumulation of western ‘defeats’. Defeat in Israel would strike at the very core of U.S. political being. Hat-tip to Simplicius’ Bones of Tomorrow, in which he reflects on a Culture that has become debased; its lures that used to trap us into the ‘Myth of the West’ lie withered, as patently false idols. The dimming fire has squandered any sense of ‘magic’ in the guttering West, or indeed of hope to recoup this something ‘lost’. It is the wistful realisation that – as it stands – the myth is never likely to offer anything of lasting value again. The ‘Elect’ though, have deliberately raised the stakes. They do not want to ‘let go’. They have determined that, with the western train wrecked on its own cultural ‘wall’, the ‘End of Time’ story of convergence on a common future is ‘over’ too. And along with it, the claimed western mandate to dictate the ‘direction forward’ is over also. The West, by contrast, is still fed on stories of western leadership, election, innate qualities and exceptionalism. Put simply, this ‘influencer’ fad signally is failing to help westerners cope with the tectonic shifts occurring across the globe. Its peoples are wholly unprepared for the ‘Winter that is Coming’. The need for a return to an integrity of messaging is all the more pressing as attempts to repair one reversal, with a false narrative – inverting realities to achieve the putative ‘win’ – will only lead to further losses. Deceit is exposed in the instant. Trust takes a decade to build. Does the West really believe it can recoup in this way? Nobody beyond their authors believes these western Intelligence narratives, post- Ukraine. They are now tainted for the long run. In the end, military facts are more powerful than political waffle. - LewRockwell

  1363. [What's masquerades for news on the US networks is Agitprop for the Western Globalists on the Payrolls of their MICs, the loss in lives be damned. I think this is great news to educate that propagandized public to wake up and see the con they've been force fed by the World Controllers while they and their families are still alive to do so!] Carlson, who launched his own network on X (formerly Twitter), posted a short video from Moscow, explaining the logic behind his upcoming interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Most Western media outlets are corrupt and “lie to their readers and viewers,” mainly by omission, Carlson argued. There has been no effort to speak to Putin since the conflict started in 2022, while US outlets have conducted many “fawning pep sessions” posing as interviews with Zelensky, he added. “That is not journalism. It is government propaganda – propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people,” said Carlson. “Because no one has told them the truth,” most people in English-speaking countries are unaware of “history-altering developments,” according to Carlson. “That’s wrong. Americans have the right to know all they can about a war they are implicated in,” he added, noting that freedom of speech is the American birthright that can’t be taken away no matter who sits in the White House. Carlson reminded his viewers that the US government spied on his text messages in 2021, when he attempted to interview Putin. He urged Americans to watch the entire interview on X, which will not be censored or paywalled, and decide for themselves, “like a free citizen, and not a slave.” - RT

  1367. Rare tank battle Tank-on-tank battles have been an extremely rare occurrence during the conflict, with the armored vehicles commonly operating as mobile artillery from covered firing positions largely to the extreme density of assorted drones deployed by both sides onto the battlefield. Kursk battle continues The winter season has been marked by several major attacks launched by Kiev in Russia’s Kursk Region, first invaded by the Ukrainian forces last August. Since then, the Ukrainian zone of control has shrunk significantly, with multiple locations liberated by the Russian military Abrams fleet dwindling The winter season has seen a return of US-supplied M1 Abrams tanks onto the battlefield, with the vehicle fleet sustaining new casualties. Range of fiber optics drones grows The fiber optics cable-guided drones, first deployed en-masse by the Russian military last August amid the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk, have seen growing use lately, with the UAVs of the type now penetrating deep beyond the frontline and striking targets in the rear. Rear strikes The Russian military has continued its effort to strike Ukraine’s military rear, repeatedly hitting staging points and amassing troops. Unconventional use of anti-tank mines Assorted landmines have seen extensive use during the conflict, with the troops on both sides coming up with various unconventional ways to use the munitions. In recent months, numerous videos have emerged showing Russian forces using anti-tank mines as breacher charges, with assault troops throwing the modified explosives into buildings and entrenchments occupied by the Ukrainians. Infrastructure attacks During the season, Moscow mounted multiple large-scale long-range attacks on Ukraine’s dual-use infrastructure, targeting assorted energy and industrial facilities. - RT

  1376. For a central bank to seize the sovereign wealth fund of another major central bank is akin to two of the largest crime families in a major Godfather film declaring war on each other. These are epochal, ground-quaking movements whose consequences will echo down the generations. Ultimately remember that Russia has the same amount of assets it can seize from the West, so the ‘exchange’, were it to happen, would be nothing more than the West illegally robbing its own people of $300B which they could not legally convince their populace to give them for Ukraine. In the meantime, the only interesting things out of Ukraine at the moment: The Institute for the Study of War managed to admit not only that Russia has all the initiative but that it has 95% staffing of its units, which allows timely and professional rotation and force generation: In short: Russian units are well-staffed, easily make up for any losses, and have all the operational tempo and initiative. Ukraine on the other hand, we learned in the last update, is suffering 30,000 losses per month and for the first time—according to some reports—was not able to replenish these monthly losses via mobilization recently. Ukraine’s air defenses are now more depleted than ever, and conversely, Russia’s air arsenal is stronger than ever because all of its PGM (precision guided munition) productive capacities have continued to go up parabolically. They are firing more missiles and other types of weapons than ever, particularly the growing portfolio of UMPK bombs. In the last report we learned about Russia adapting RBK-500 cluster munitions, now we have full confirmation they are also using 1500kg Fabs as well as even ODAB-1500 thermobarics. Given these increases, Ukraine’s positions in the rear are being struck with major losses incurred each time. For instance, since the last report—where I listed several “rear sites” that were hit with major losses—there has been a new hit on a mercenary hotel in Kharkov. NATO’s 3 month long 24/7 bombardment of Serbia destroyed a whopping dozen tanks and could only degrade the AD by 50%. Without boots on the ground, US’s failed coalition can do nothing to Yemen—and they’re not going boots on the ground so the strikes can only be regarded as a feeble ‘warning’ toward Iran, which will only inspire hearty guffaws in Tehran. A decrepit regime led by a senile president and debilitated secretary of state, launching illegal massacres from their nursing homes and hospital beds against the poorest nation on earth—virtually on the same day as their own bloc ally faced genocide and crimes against humanity charges at The Hague. You can’t make this up: the optics have never been worse for the Empire of Lies. That’s not to mention the fact that US apparently took losses and is now trying to cover them up after Ansar Allah forces claimed to have downed a US plane as well as hit a ship: Lastly, there is the sad news that Ukraine has murdered Gonzalo Lira. For all the accusations made against Russia, no American journalist or figure has died in Russian captivity, while an American citizen has now not only died in Ukrainian captivity, but under various forms of torture, at that. He described some of that torture in his final video, including things like his eyeballs being scraped by sharp objects and other ghoulishly medieval techniques. But of course, no one in the Nazi-complicit US regime cares; another in a long line of gross hypocrisies from the people that brought you the farcical “Rule of Law” and “Rules Based Order”. Rest in peace, Gonzalo. - Simplicius

Half of the F-16s that the Netherlands and Denmark promise to Ukraine are unairworthy.-Intel Report Moscow’s troops have improved their forward positions near the key Ukrainian city of Kupiansk, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Monday. Ukrainian authorities had previously ordered a mandatory evacuation of the area around the logistics hub. The Russian military said the troops had fended off four separate attacks east of Kupiansk, a strategically important settlement in Kharkov Region. The most intense fighting took place near the villages of Sinkovka in the same region and Novosyolovskoye in the Russian Lugansk People’s Republic, the ministry said in a daily briefing. 10-year-old boy survives getting maimed or death after finding 3 unexploded bomblets from Ukrainian widely-banned cluster munitions (see pic) at beach in Donetsk People's Republic (ex-Ukraine). Cluster munitions spread 100s of small bombs over wide areas but not all these bomblets explode. M864 has dud rate of 6%, meaning 4 out of 72 submunitions in the shell remain unexploded. Thus, threatening civilians and expanding list of Washington’s unending war crimes - And Zelensky is fine dropping them on areas he claims are Kiev's. - Intel Report

  1403. Europe in particular is in utter shambles as their sunk-cost failure in Ukraine has exposed feeble European leaders as true naked emperors before their seething populaces. Germany continues to completely unspool before our eyes as France’s Macron issued a temp-gauging panic statement about the need for Europe to become ‘omnivores’ in a world full of ‘carnivores’, lest the decaying continent get left behind for good. Ultimately, as can be seen the two sides appear at a loggerheads: Trump in his supreme vanity thinks he can end a nigh holy war that has spilled the blood of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides with the snap of a finger—this is the height of disrespect to both sides, particularly to Russia and Putin. But personally I can’t imagine Trump trying to escalate, beyond blowhard bluffs, because as stated, the US doesn’t have much of anything left to give beyond rusted junk or critical strategic reserves. The only possible way I can see out of it is Trump cutting all aid to Ukraine and allowing a full capitulation while blaming it on Europe after passing them the buck. We’ll close this section with Russian ambassador to UK Andrei Kelin’s reaffirmation of Russia’s negotiating positions: Compromise is out of the question. Zaporozhye and Kherson are Russian Russia will not make concessions to Ukraine – all demands of the Russian Federation will be met. These are demilitarization, denazification and neutral status of the country. - Simplicius

  1408. Despite the presence of multiple potential witnesses inside Beeri before ZAKA arrived to collect dead bodies, independent testimony corroborating Landau’s claim has yet to surface. Further, there are no recorded deaths of siblings around the age of 6 to 8 in Beeri on October 7. Any record of a young child killed in the manner Landau described is similarly nonexistent, as are photos of the murdered family he described. In fact, the only siblings anywhere close to this age range who died in the community on that day—12-year-old twins Liel and Yanai Hetrzroni—were killed by Israeli tank shelling. Landau’s story – and by extension, Blinken’s testimony before the Senate – therefore appears to have been spun out of whole cloth; a cynical fabrication intended to dramatize the supposed barbarism of Hamas in order to widen the political space for Israel’s rampage in the Gaza Strip. As this investigation will demonstrate, Landau’s tale was merely one of many tall tales concocted by a small circle of dubious characters who have managed to shape the official narrative of October 7 in Western media. Though Israeli officials played a central role in Tel Aviv’s misinformation campaign surrounding the events of October 7— falsely claiming, for instance, that the bodies of dead Jewish babies were found dangling from a laundry line in one kibbutz—the most inflammatory allegations have emerged from a collection of ultra-Orthodox volunteer organizations such as ZAKA. Though ZAKA specializes “in body collection and disposal,” the group has no coronary credentials and is staffed by droves of poorly trained volunteers. Then there is this admission by the clueless Lt. Col. Golan Vach. He says he saw one headless baby in the house that his tanks fired on. I say clueless because he is unwilling to acknowledge the fact that it was his tanks, not Hamas, that killed all of the people and decapitated the baby in that house. - Sonar21

  1414. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Last night, the Ukrainian military needed to deliver reinforcements to its troops in the Kursk border region, and wanted to move stealthily at night, but the Mil Mi-28 Night Hunter of the Russian Army Aviation stopped them from doing so, the Russian Defense Ministry released the helicopter combat duty today on August 21, 2024. Night vision and IR devices, allow to effectively attack targets day and night. With guided anti-tank missiles fired and used during sorties, the Mi-28 worked against Kiev's military reserves, burning down targets as shown in the footage. Kiev was badly hit even before their personnel did their job, even in one action the Russian attack helicopters would turn fantasy into the worst nightmare! The crews of Russian helicopters are tireless! The Mi-28 all-weather anti-armor attack helicopter, continuously carry out unstoppable air strikes, especially in recent days, which forced Ukraine together with its Western partners, to suffer heavy losses on the border. Daily targeted strikes on Ukrainian personnel and materiel concentrated on the border, and aircraft return to base after using aviation weapons. As reported by the Russian Marines yesterday on August 20, Ukrainian personnel and Western armored hardware columns were destroyed near Korenevo. Allegedly, dozens of vehicles including two Stryker and one Kozak armored personnel carriers, one Canadian-made Roshel SARV armored fighting vehicle, one Cougar mine-resistant vehicle, and one HMMWV armored vehicle were destroyed or damaged in one helicopter action, several Ukrainian servicemen from the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade were captured. In Kursk, which was led by Western units to cross the Russian border zone earlier this month, flight crews on helicopters mainly "Ka-52", "Mi-28" and "Mi-35", daily support servicemen by conducting strikes on manpower, armored and motorized convoys of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian Aerospace Forces also carry out missions involving search and rescue teams including fire support groups and paramedics, evacuation and transportation of pilots to military health facilities.

  1415. Polish Mercenaries Began To Flee 'LIMAN' against the Background Of The Approach Of The Russian Army. Compared with other sections of the front, the Krasny-Liman direction was less mentioned in the reports of war correspondents and military departments on both sides. This is largely because the situation in the Krasny-Liman direction is not developing as dynamically and intensively as in other sectors of the front. However, this does not mean that the Krasny-Liman direction of the front has completely suspended the dynamics of hostilities. The decrease in military clashes there is more like the calm before the storm. - BORZZIKMAN "THERE'S A HUGE GAP where Zelensky's brain should be between goals and the actual state of affairs in Ukraine" - says the President of the US Council on Foreign Affairs, Richard Haase. "The idea that Ukraine is going to liberate by military means all the lands that are occupied by Russia, approximately 20% of its territory, is laudable - but this won't happen" - he continues. Zelensky! Please place brain BACK inside cranium - United States officials who specialize in WAR are telling you to forget any kind of liberation fantasies. - Intel Report The flow of US-made artillery ammunition to Ukraine has dwindled by “more than 30%” amid Washington’s scramble to assist Israel in its fight against Hamas, ABC News reported on Tuesday, citing an unnamed Ukrainian official. The network’s source pointed out that the main problem was with deliveries of NATO-standard 155mm artillery shells, which he said accounted for “about 60-70% of Ukraine’s overall supply.” He also expressed serious concern that the gridlock in the US Congress could mean that the flow of arms to Ukraine will start to dry up. “We’re in big trouble… basic munitions are not coming,” the official said, warning that if the situation is allowed to deteriorate further, Ukraine risks losing its position on the battlefield “at a very high price.” - RT Ukraine has lost over 13,700 troops and approximately 1,800 tanks and other heavy weaponry so far this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu relayed on Tuesday during a ministerial meeting. Russian forces have been actively thwarting Kiev’s attempts to breach their defensive lines and continue to reduce Ukraine’s military capacity, the senior official said. He claimed that Ukrainian soldiers were surrendering in droves after realizing the futility of their counteroffensive. The Russian minister issued his last assessment of Ukrainian casualties in late October, when he said they had surpassed 90,000 since the start of Kiev’s ill-fated counteroffensive in early July. During this week’s meeting, Shoigu described the cost paid by Ukrainian soldiers in the conflict as “colossal.” - RT

  1458. I’ve written a number of essays trying to point at the baseless and irrational way westerners view military explosives as a far more civilized and humane way of killing human beings than bullets or blades, but I’ve never written anything that sums it up as clearly as this frank admission by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s senior manager of journalistic standards. Military explosives rip human bodies apart. They burn people alive. They trap them under rubble where they die excruciatingly slowly in one of the most horrifying ways imaginable. They leave people without limbs. They dismember and disfigure children for life. Many of the most agonizing deaths in human history have been caused by bombs. There are thousands of Gazans who have yet to be counted among the dead because their bodies are still buried under the rubble of fallen buildings. Many of them would not have died instantly. Some are still alive, waiting for days in a state terror and searing pain for a rescue that will never come. A UNICEF report released last month said that more than a thousand children had had one or both legs amputated since October 7 as a result of damage received by US-sponsored Israeli airstrikes, a number which would be significantly higher by now. We know that many such amputations have occurred without anaesthesia, because Israeli siege warfare has cut off Gaza’s healthcare system from the necessary supplies. If this is not vicious, then nothing is vicious. If this is not brutal, then nothing is brutal. If this is not murderous, then nothing is murderous. But it doesn’t get labeled as such by the western press, because it is being done “remotely”. - LewRockwell

  1459. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The FAB-3000 glide bomb attack on the Volchansk Aggregate Plant, confirms the statements about a trap carefully prepared for Ukrainian troops in the industrial zone of Kharkov region. In videos released by Russian military correspondents on September 28, 2024, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a powerful strike by the crews of Su-34 fighter-bomber, destroying the remains of the plant, following reports of the presence of formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and began to consolidate there! This is terrible! Some days ago the Russian units withdrew from the plant in order to lure the enemy in, and now they militarized it with the most powerful bombs, which directly destroyed the hull of the plant, It is difficult to know how many were eliminated, especially the special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, who entered the trap. The Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) headed by Kyrylo Budanov, reported this week that it had captured the Aggregation Plant in Volchansk with GUR special forces. The department said in a statement that the last of the 30 buildings at the plant had been liberated today, which had been occupied by Russian troops since July 30. At the same time, the department called the information about the close fighting at the Aggregate Plant somewhat exaggerated, which was previously considered an important strategic facility, in order to advance after capturing these strongholds. While the Russian side did not comment on the defeat. Thus, its capture resulted in the GUR special forces not only losing control, which was completely surrounded. The latest footage on September 29, shows several trophies captured by Russian Volunteer fighters during the multi-day battle at the Volchansk Aggregate Plant! As usual, Ukrainian domestic war correspondents claim that the Russian garrison fought to the last, and managed to retreat. Only those who surrendered or were taken prisoner managed to escape, the rest were destroyed. On the contrary, Ukraine lost a lot of personnel - another tragedy that was simply necessary for the sake of a one-day media victory.

  1470. As I expected, Washington is moving the conflict toward Iran. Washington chose this moment to escalate in order to direct the news away from Israel’s trial in the International Court of Justice. Regardless, Washington’s neoconservatives intended escalation from the beginning of the Israeli-Hamas war. It has been clear to me since 9/11 in 2001 that neoconservative dominance in Washington guaranteed we were on a road to escalation that would eventually reach Armageddon. The world is going to be victimized by the incapacity of the American political and intellectual classes to think clearly and honestly. We are approaching Armageddon because US foreign policy serves Israeli expansion, not peace. Washington has now launched air and naval attacks on Yemen. Sadeh, Zubaydah, Abs, Bani, Sana, Hudaydah, and Taiz have been attacked by American forces, initiating yet another war without Congressional approval, a branch of the US government emptied of power. The price of oil increased in response to the American attacks. Oil kingdoms, such as Saudi Arabia and Oman, are beginning to feel rocky as a result of their alignment with Washington against the Houthis. The White House fool says it is the Houthis’ attacks that are reckless, not Washington’s. The New York Times and the rest of the Western media have gone to work placing all blame on the Houthis. The Houthis have announced that as a result of the US/UK strikes on Yemen “all American and British interests have become legitimate targets.” You can see where this is going. - LewRockwell

  1478. How do you destroy a free press? Fill it with people who hate free speech, look down upon the poor and powerless, and believe that only their opinions matter. Then pay them to repeat and defend everything that the “ruling class” brands as an “official truth.” It’s amazing how fast public dissent dries up when you bribe the “journalists” and censor anyone who notices. “Reporters” are now so deferential to bureaucrats in positions of authority that they prostrate themselves before those most deserving of scrutiny. As obsequious servants to a “ruling class” that sees them as expendable, today’s “journalists” empower the powerful and silence the powerless. And when a “reporter” no longer serves those powerful interests, the Establishment’s exterminators need only decide whether to shrivel the offending slug with salt or squish it into gooey obsolescence. Think that’s hyperbole? Why has Julian Assange spent over a decade in legal purgatory and consular captivity while trying to avoid American incarceration and assassination? Why is Edward Snowden now a citizen of Russia, rather than a celebrated whistleblower addressing college auditoriums here in America? Why is Gonzalo Lira, Sr. mourning the torture and murder of his son in a Ukrainian prison, when Joe Biden could have freed the American citizen at any time? Because Assange, Snowden, and Lira all reported truths that revealed the U.S. government’s criminality, corruption, and antipathy toward the Constitution’s Bill of Rights. Because our “ruling class” believes the First Amendment, unfettered free speech, and a courageous free press are all threats to national security. Because the American police state has no interest in seeking warrants or establishing probable cause before illegally spying on the American people. Those who have sacrificed everything to report these stories have been eliminated or cowed into quiet complicity with a Deep State diametrically opposed to human liberty. Those reporters who remain have chosen the lowly existence of common slugs. - LewRockwell

  1488. Given that the CIA is running Ukraine and Zelenskyy is simply a figurehead, Blinken is authorizing the CIA to strike inside Russia putting America in the war front and center. A last-ditch solution to Netanyahu’s criminal arrest dilemma. War. A last ditch effort to forego US elections. War. All while putting Taiwan on military alert. The Blinken logic is that if Ukraine uses – US weapons inside Russia – it could trigger WWIII. Problem with this media illogic? The Kyiv CIA has already been striking inside Russia in the Belgorod Region. Every weapon left to the disposal of Ukraine is either US made, German made, or UK made. The Kabbalah is running out of time and solutions. Kyiv has few troops left and morale is in hell. But Netanyahu needs a diversion. The insanity of America’s politicians discussing initiating WWIII based on Ukraine is most certainly the last death wish of Gyorgy Schwartz – Soros. Lloyd Austin has admitted that the US is not nearly ready for a confrontation with anyone given our depleted inventory of manpower and weapons. - LewRockwell Let’s get right into the most pressing development: a narrative overload has swelled around the topic of allowing Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil. It has suddenly become the top coordinated focus for the entire deep state establishment, with Zelensky and complicit Congressmembers forming a critical mass of pressure against the Biden administration, with some claiming they’re gaining headway. The reason is obvious: Ukraine is at a crossroads and a potential breaking point. The political situation has hit rock bottom, with Zelensky’s authority and legitimacy quickly unspooling; the manpower issue is reportedly very bad and is not being addressed by the newly announced mobilization; and on top of all that, Russia appears on the brink of opening up another in a series of new fronts that could bring the AFU to the brink by stretching the lines like never before. Russia is issuing the response that if things continue escalating in the current dangerous direction then Russia may have no choice but to bring much more devastating weaponry to bear. Russia continues conditioning the ground for Zelensky’s illegitimacy. Lukashenko even said at today’s talks that “a lot will happen this year….there are plenty of people in Ukraine both in military and government who would like to take the leadership position.” Apart from that, despite the glaring seriousness and danger of Zelensky’s continued provocations, Russia stands to potentially create a catastrophic situation for the AFU in the near to medium term future with the introduction of new fronts, whether Sumy and/or Belarus. The Sumy rumors continue unabated—the latest from Ukraine: Furthermore, the reason behind Zelensky’s desperately redlining provocations is because Ukraine continues taking catastrophic losses on the front. Just the 79th brigade alone reports 20 KIA per day, with another 35 WIA. The 59th brigade reports “2-3 dozen” losses per day as they scream desperately for help. - Simplicius

  1519. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The US forces instructed SDF militias to open a new front in Deir ez-Zur in eastern Syria, to advance and attack the positions of Syrian Arab Army, Al-Mayadeen correspondent reported today, December 3, 2024. The militias, fully supported by the US occupation, launched attacks on at least 7 villages controlled by Syrian Army along with Iranian forces and Arab tribal forces east of the Euphrates River. According to reports, the clashes were mainly focused on the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, with the targeted areas including Al-Hussainiya, Al-Salihiya, Hatla, Marat, Mazloum, Khasham, and Al-Tabiyah. The rebel militias used minesweepers to remove earthen obstacles, and with 12 mortar shells fired at the town of Khasham. Heavy clashes erupted between Syrian Army and the militia forces on the outskirts of the towns of Al-Salihiyah, Marat and Al-Tabiyah under the direct cover of US artillery and fighter jets from the US occupation bases near the Conoco oil field and the Al-Omar oil field. A video was published online today, showing US occupation fighter jets carrying out airstrikes, bombarding the positions of Syrian Arab Army and auxiliary forces, to assist SDF separatist forces in their offensive to advance towards the town of Al-Hussainiya. But, as part of the response of Syrian Arab Army units with the support of auxiliary forces, the fighters managed to thwart the attacks launched by the militias on seven villages, repelling them, SANA news agency reported. There was no change in the control map in Deir ez-Zur countryside, after the violent attacks launched by militia forces to seize the oil fields in the region together with the US. Now, more and more people in the world understand the true origins of the conflict in Syria, the mass violations and plundering of Syrian natural resources are taking place, initiated by the Western elites!

  1530. Kiev's sky under rule of buzzing Russian drones in above video as Moscow launches biggest UAV attack on Ukraine yet. Airport and energy facilities hit, leaving huge number of places without electricity. - Intel Report The Warmongers aren't winning. Time for Plan 2, the ONLY Plan that will work. Get rid of the Warmongers! A hard truth about the Russia-Ukraine conflict is finally dawning on the West. We are reminded that this is a war of attrition, i.e. one favoring Russia by its very nature. Even on CNN, we heard that much as early as April 2022, and the militantly Atlanticist Economist magazine admitted it in a backhanded way (using the euphemism “war of endurance”) in September. Clearly, “losing” Ukraine (which the West should not have tried to “own” in the first place) will reveal the bloc's weakness more sharply than the failures in, for instance, Iraq, Libya, Syria, or Afghanistan. For two reasons. First, unlike these countries, Russia is a great power; that means it is in a position to exploit the Western setback. Moscow, put differently, is big enough to geopolitically counterattack. - RT There is no evidence that Russia conducted any human wave attacks during 2022 or 2023 and certainly did not suffer mass casualties. Just the opposite. The Russian General staff conducted operations specifically designed to minimize Russian casualties. Russia has done two basic things to pulverize Ukrainian forces. First, it used its decisive advantage in missiles and artillery to pound Ukrainian trenches, bases and supply depots. Second, it used drones in an unprecedented fashion (and with increasing sophistication) to conduct “drone wave” attacks on Ukrainian soldiers hunkered down in bunkers. How do we know that Russia avoided mass casualties? Very simple. The social media platforms in Russia do not show massive new graves nor are there posting by grieving relatives about the loss of Sasha or Vitaly. Russian leaders, not just Putin, viewed the West’s efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO as an existential threat. Putin made that point quite clear to the West starting in 2008. Not only did the United States and the United Kingdom ignore those warnings, they upped the ante by helping fund and organize the Maidan coup in February 2014 and backed the new Ukrainian leaders as they attacked the Donbass. The West made a fatal error in underestimating Russia’s military industrial competence: The United States is like an aging boxer who decided to fight a rejuvenated contender in a 15 round Heavyweight match, but only trained to last two rounds. That is why Russia is battering the hell out of Ukraine and, by proxy, the United States. It is Ukraine that is being bloodied on a horrific scale. It is Ukraine that is sending women, including pregnant women, to fight in trenches. No civilized country possessed of its right mind would entertain such a grotesque measure. Russia can and is producing more bombs, rockets, missiles, shells, tanks, drone and aircraft than the West combined. That’s the message Washington needs to hear. - Sonar21 Ukrainian soldiers flee from Russian troops, in an industrial zone on the southern side of Avdeevka. Russian army tank opened fire on those entrenched in buildings, retreating further into the settlement. The advance of Russian troops had penetrated 95% of the industrial zone, captured 15 prisoners of war, also captured Ukrainian fortifications. - Military Tube Today

  1545. Thus, Avdiivka unfolded along a pattern that is now becoming very familiar, and indicates the emerging Russian preference for assaulting cities, at least of this mid-sized fortress variety. Once again the operation focused in its preliminary phase on flaring out Russian control over the flanks, beginning with the large mechanized assault in early November which secured positions on the railway line to the north of the city. Again (as in the case of Bakhmut and Lysychansk-Severodonetsk) there was an expectation among some that Russia would attempt to encircle the city, but this still does not look feasible in the current operating environment under the nexus of fires and ISR. Instead, positions on the flank allowed the Russians to launch concentric attacks into the city, entering on multiple axes that compressed the Ukrainian defenders into a tight interior position, where Russian fire could be heavily concentrated. The question now becomes fairly simple: if Ukraine failed to attack successfully over the summer, if they could not defend Bakhmut, and if they cannot defend in Avdiivka, is there anywhere that they can find a battlefield success? The dam is leaking. Can Ukraine plug it before it collapses? Overall, the broad operational situation suggests that Russia is developing offensive momentum across the entire theater. This will have deleterious effects on Ukrainian combat power by preventing rotation, reconstitution, and lateral troop redeployment, while sucking in the dwindling Ukrainian reserves. The Russo-Ukrainian War is one of industrial attrition. Despite a variety of theories about this or that game changing weapon, clever maneuver scheme, or superior western training, the reality of this war for the last 18 months has been one of grinding and laborious industrial war, battering through fixed defenses in a maelstrom of concrete, steel, and high explosives. The central problem for Ukraine is fairly simple: Russian force generation is reaching the liftoff point, which will interminably shift combat power in Russia’s favor. The upshot of all this is essentially that, even if the European production surge occurs on schedule, there’s at least a 3-1 advantage (potentially 5-1) in Russian artillery fire that’s baked into the calculus of this war, occurring alongside a substantial western acknowledged ramp up in Russian production of strike systems like cruise missiles, Geran drones, Lancets, and glide bombs of both greater power and greater range. A recent publication from the Royal United Services Institute noted that Russia can deliver 1,500 tanks (both new build and retrofitted depot stocks) and 3,000 armored vehicles per year - the report also notes that Russian stocks of Iskander and Kalibr missiles have grown significantly over the last year. Given that Russian casualties are obviously far below the phantasmagorical hundreds of thousands suggested by western Media and Ukrainian propogandists, it has become clear that Russia is generating more force over time. Estonian intelligence estimated that Russia can properly train, equip, and deploy roughly 130,000 additional troops every six months, which is more than adequate to overcome current loss rates. As if to emphasize the point, RUSI notes that the Russian grouping of forces in Ukraine (that is, only those forces deployed in theater at the moment) rose from 360,000 to 470,000 over the last year. So, Russian force generation is growing over time, and not simply regenerating losses. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are increasingly undermanned, with understrength brigades asked to perform increasingly heavy lift. We know that Ukrainian reserves are running low. This was clearly demonstrated in Avdiivka, when the AFU scrambled brigades from other fronts (like the 47th Mechanized) that had been fighting all summer, indicating that there was a lack of adequate strategic reserves, and then throwing in the elite 3rd Assault Brigade in the closing days of the battle to try and stem the bleeding. Meanwhile, formations like the 110th Mechanized, which had been fighting in Avdiivka for months, were essentially burned off entirely because they could not be rotated out. Russia conducts regular troop rotations, while Ukrainian forces remain on the line due to the lack of replacements. So, here we are. The current Theory of Ukrainian Victory is exhausted, intending as it did to leverage western ISR, training, and surplus equipment to deliver disproportionate casualties on Russia. I rather think, however, that Jünger’s metaphysical “titan of suffering” is not so metaphysical at all. It rather refers to a mundane power of the Russian state, namely its excellence and willingness across the centuries to mobilize huge numbers of men and material for war, at the expense of other social goals. War with Russia sucks. It means mass casualties, cold trenches, scarred earth, and long nights of shelling. The Ukrainians have coped with this as well as anyone (because they are themselves quasi-Russian, however much they deny it), but it is an awful thing to trade shells for years on end. The Russian power of suffering is to willingly fight wars that devolve into bat fights, knowing they have a bigger bat. The window of strategic opportunity has closed for Ukraine, and now opens wide for Russia. The earth opens wide for the dead. - Big Serge Thought

  1550. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - A massive storming by the Russian Armed Forces on the Yuzhnodonbasskaya-3 coal mine northeast of Ugledar has put Ukrainian forces in a very difficult situation. A large video released by Russian military correspondent, on September 14, 2024, shows Russian assault troops launching a fierce assault on the mine structures, and entering the area around the mine, where Zelensky’s troops had been hiding for a long time trying to defend Ugledar. However, this time the enemy troops appear to be completely surrounded by artillery and bombing attacks, and a large explosion occurred in one of the buildings of the Yuzhnodonbasskaya-3 Mine, located west of Vodyane, which was recently liberated by Russian fighters. The assault on the extreme mine, where fighting continued after the Russian assault troops landed, would be a death sentence for the fall of Ugledar. Epic footage shows artillery preparation, and then a mechanized attack with the entry of two Russian armored groups into the mine area to destroy the enemy. The armored groups, consisting of armored vehicles and motorized rifle units, entered from two sides at once, from the north and from the south, pinning down the Ukrainian positions. After a massive artillery barrage on enemy positions, the armored vehicles broke into the complex while firing and deploying troops. Soon after four more armored vehicles arrived to disembark, one of them was hit by an explosive device during the advance, but with almost no losses. The advance of their comrades did not stop, and it is likely that the landing force landed there while continuing to press the Ukrainian positions. As a result of the successful assault, the Russian Armed Forces managed to gain a foothold in the Yuzhnodonbasskaya-3 Mine, and currently control at least half of its territory, about 2 km north of Ugledar. So far, the battle for the mine is still ongoing, but it seems that the last stronghold of the Ukrainian troops here, one of the key locations for the liberation of the town of Ugledar itself, will soon be taken and cleared by Russian units.

  1633. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – A Russian fiber optic FPV drone provides precise visual confirmation of Kiev's abandoned and destroyed equipment after their defeat at the neck of the so-called "Kurakhovo pocket" that has narrowed to Kostiantynopil. The Russian military channels released videos on February 15, 2025, showing a BTR-70M armored vehicle of Ukraine first entering the drone's camera frame, followed by another BMP-1. The drone flew further, finding equipment abandoned due to being unable to withstand the onslaught of powerful Russian forces, an Ukrainian BMP-2 then came under objective control of Kiev's astonishing loss reference. The large Ukrainian-held Kurakhovo pocket in Donetsk effectively ceased to exist, collapsing as Russian forces encircled Ulakly from the east and southeast, and Kostiantynopil from the southeast. A successful defeat after Russian shelling of the enemy military equipment, the armor is now in ruins, and Kiev will never win because Russia can produce more ammunition in a month than 32 NATO allies can produce in a year. Next, while passing a large Ukrainian fortification, Russian FPV filmed a BMP-1TS that has become scrap metal, and a Kozak-7 nearby. The Russian Armed Forces are now breaking through the Ukrainian defenses and advancing on the village of Ulakly from two directions after heavy fighting on the front line west of Kurakhovo. The fiber-optic FPV drone arrived at a multi-purpose combat vehicle MT-LB, abandoned by the Ukrainian crew for unknown reasons south of Ulakly near Zelenovka. Successful defeat after a drone hit, destroyed by fire at a distance of about 700 meters from the combat contact line. Now, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost the opportunity to break out of the encirclement that closed the Kurakhovo pocket, Kiev is in great danger even in a matter of hours!

They are so far removed from the rest of us that it is scary." The keynote speaker of the World Economic Forum’s 2024 annual conference in Davos was Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President. She stated the top global risk for the EU is disinformation and misinformation, declaring disinformation destroys trust and limits the ability to “tackle the big global challenges.” In plain English, trust can only be restored by censoring inconvenient facts and evidence. The top risk in the WEF’s 2024 Global Risk Report is disinformation. If not controlled, societies will be polarized, elections will be disrupted, and there will be mistrust of the media and governments. WEF wants to control free speech to protect it, or social cohesion will be destroyed, leading to civil unrest. Only governments can arbitrate the truth. Orwell’s 1984 has become a documentary. DISARM runs its platform and repository on GitHub, a cloud-based service using open-source programming. Using hyperlinks allows the developer to enable anyone to see the repository or choose who can see it. DISARM has published a one-hundred-and-eighty-five-page white paper explaining how to combat so-called hate speech, misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation, which can be downloaded HERE. Paraphrasing DHS slogan, “If You See Something, Say Something; if you view something, report it. There is a significant push to codify hate thoughts and speech as crimes not only at the national level but also at the local level. The United States Mayors Conference issued a “Compact to Combat Hate, Extremism and Bigotry,” calling for reporting hate incidents and the expansion of hate crime laws. DISARM will be the global tool to identify occurrences that will be reported to government agencies. Globally, politicians and apparatchiks are moving towards digital IDs. USAID (CIA-founded and US-funded) issued an eighty-page white paper for developing a global digital ID program. The UN and EU are also proposing digital IDs. Digital IDs connected to DISARM would conveniently identify, track, and punish dissenters. The final coil in the hangman’s noose is the installation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for political oppression; the digital hangman noose is complete, with Orwell’s 1984 dystopia becoming a reality.

  1639. The Europeans are miffed that they are not being included in the effort to negotiate with Putin. Maria Zakharova, the elegant spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, provided a scathing explanation of why Russia does not consider the Europeans as valid interlocutors: Let me remind you that it was precisely the leaders of EU countries—German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande—who not long ago openly admitted that they never actually intended to implement the Minsk agreements, despite previously assuring the world otherwise. Their official position now is that the Minsk agreements were merely an attempt to rearm Kyiv and “buy it time.” In other words, they pretended to be working in good faith on the Ukrainian issue while actually engaging in a harmful charade. The Minsk agreements became part of international law through their approval by the UN Security Council. This means they were legally binding. Both Hollande and Merkel, as well as Italy’s leadership, knew this perfectly well then and understand it today. By violating international law—something they now openly admit—EU leaders became key accomplices in the catastrophe that unfolded in Ukraine. As a direct result of their actions, Europe now faces an armed conflict on its own continent. Had the Minsk agreements been implemented, Ukraine would have been saved, and at the same time, the current dire situation of EU citizens—whose well-being has significantly declined due to their leaders’ misguided, and at times outright criminal, decisions—would have been alleviated. - sonar21

  1640. There is propaganda by commission and propaganda by omission, the former often serve to conceal the latter. Timing is crucial. That the U.S. President Joseph Biden, his British, NATO, Israeli allies, and their corporate media mouthpieces are in need of a major propaganda victory is obvious. They are losing the war in Ukraine, have been condemned throughout the world for the genocide in Gaza, and are ruling over a disintegrating empire. Biden and Netanyahu’s political lives are at serious risk. And so they have just rolled out a full-court propaganda press effort aimed at covering their losses. It should be crystal clear to anyone who can use logic to see the timing involved. Once the death in a Russian prison of the Western backed Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was announced on Friday, February 16, 2024, it was immediately followed by a cascade of anti-Russia pronouncements whose aim was to not only continue the demonization of Russia and its President Vladimir Putin but to serve other purposes as well. All this happened while Russia pushed through Ukraine’s defenses and took the city of Avdeevka, which had long been contested. With each day that passes, it is obvious that Biden’s Ukraine war strategy is that of a desperate politician on the ropes and that Putin has completely outfoxed the American desperados and their NATO European stooges. only a very dimwitted person would think that Putin would have Navalny killed. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing so. Yet the MSM and their government overlords consider most people very stupid and so are trying to blitz them with obvious propaganda through commission and omission. We have heard this story before. - LewRockwell

  1655. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The defenders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently struggling, in groups to find a way to flee away from Sudzha where Russian forces have made a remarkable breakthrough, rushing into the rear of Ukrainian troops b a gas pipe. Videos published by Russian military correspondents have emerged online on March 11, 2025, showing how a recent Russian Special Forces operation, using a disused gas pipe, traveled about 15 kilometers inside the pipe, hiding for several days before launching a surprise attack near the town of Sudzha, Kursk Region. Interestingly, during the three-week operation by 800 soldiers, the Russian troops wore colored armbands to make it difficult for Ukrainian troops to identify them, with the first 400 wearing blue armbands, the color commonly associated with the Ukrainian army, while the next 400 wearing red armbands. Additional details of the operation include the need for special protective equipment to avoid poisoning. Trolleys were used to carry water and everything else inside the pipe. Upon receiving the signal, the troops immediately appeared, catching the Ukrainian rear by surprise, causing confusion and a reorganization of the defense lines, which forced the Ukrainian defenders to hastily withdraw from the sector. The Russian Defense Ministry shared a video on March 11, showing a group of Ukrainian defenders who refused to surrender to the Russian Armed Forces, trying hard to escape en masse even on foot from Sudzha. While fleeing, the group, consisting of about 30 enemy soldiers, tried to hide inside a building, but the reconnaissance unit of the Sever Group of Force was watching them. The drone pilot waited for the right moment, and the attack drone launched an attack, then the building exploded with a huge explosion along with the invading troops. It seems that Russia is monitoring the entire front line, no one can hide, now a large defender group was eliminated in one strike. Russian military sources released another video, the former commander of the 3rd SHO PMC "Wagner" and now the commander of the DRShB Vostok, spoke about the details of the pipe special operation of the "Potok", a Russian breakthrough that reached Sudzha. Thus, the defenders of Kiev are now focused only on evacuating, but it ended in disaster!

  1698. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The airstrikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces on the night of August 30, 2024, caused a major fire at the Machinery-Building Plant, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine organize a repair base for their heavy equipment and weapons, open sources reported. Satellite images detected three large fires at the site of the strike in the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, accompanied by the sound of subsequent explosions that prevented firefighters from localizing the fire and spreading to the company's paint shop and growing. Firefighters are still struggling to extinguish the fire at the affected warehouse and infrastructure, and the fire has spread to nearby buildings, including a gas station. The British airline reported 15 or more Russian FAB strikes since 5 a.m. local time. At the same time and as usually, local authorities claim that the strike allegedly hit the production facility, which produces baby food packaging, and juices. At least a 48-year-old woman was killed and 8 people were injured, local authorities added on Friday. Social media published footage of thick smoke after the landing, residents were urged to close their windows and not go outside, as elevated levels of sulfur dioxide were recorded in the air. Firefighters in bulletproof vests had been extinguishing the fire for several hours after the landing and explosion of the package. But, pro-Russian underground groups, convincingly reported that the attack hit an ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

  1705. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian Air Defense Forces brilliantly shot down 45 Ukrainian UAV in a large-scale night raid, the Russian Defense Ministry reported, on August 21, 2024. From Moscow to Murmansk, Ukrainian drones tried to attack targets in western Russia over the past 24 hours. The first explosions were heard in Podolsk at about 3 am, after which residents of the city heard loud sounds every 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately, all 45 kamikaze drones that tried to attack Russian cities that night were destroyed! In total, 11 were shot down over the Moscow region, another 23 were destroyed over the Bryansk region, 6 over the Belgorod region, 3 over Kalushka, and 2 over the Kursk region, the Defense Ministry detailed. But in a slightly interesting development, a Ukrainian drone carrying explosives was shot down during the day by air defenses near the closed military settlement of Vysoky in the Murmansk region. It is about 1800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, and is located in the Arctic Circle. A UAV or rather an Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft, converted into a UAV with a longer range. According to preliminary data, the target was the Olenya airfield from which the Russian strategic bomber took off, but failed. So far, Murmansk airfield has been operating as usual after the restriction of airspace. Meanwhile, according to the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, Kyrulo Budanov, said that in total about 50 drones were used that day, attacking the signal intelligence center, carrying out attacks on the Ostafyevo airport in Moscow, and the Millerovo airbase in the Rostov region, but without reporting the results!

  1712. May 1, 2024 - The Challenger 3 has been unveiled as the UK’s newest and most “lethal” main battle tank (MBT); - The Challenger 3 is produced by modernizing existing Challenger 2 MBTs with 127 planned for conversion from the UK’s existing 221 Challenger 2s; - The refurbishment/modernization of 127 tanks will cost $990 million or approximately $7.8 million per tank, several times more than modernized Russian tanks, and even more expensive or as expensive as new Russian tanks; - The Challenger 3 will weigh more than its predecessor, and both tanks are heavier than their Russian T-72B3, T-90M, T-80BVM, and even T-14 counterparts; - 127 MBTs in total will mean that most likely fewer than 100 tanks will be operational at any given time making it impractical for the UK to project military power abroad in any significant manner; - The Challenger 3 features a 120mm smoothbore gun that will use NATO standard tank rounds which is an improvement over the Challenger 2’s rifled gun which required unique ammunition incompatible with other NATO tanks; - The Challenger 3 is another illustration of Western military industrial production, emphasizing expensive, complex weapons built in small numbers to maximize profits versus equally capable, but cheaper and more numerous Russian or Chinese weapons designed to maximize both battlefield and strategic effectiveness; - While a Challenger 3 may or may not be capable one-on-one with a Russian MBT, the fact that Russia has many more tanks and is able to replace damaged or lost tanks faster than the Challenger 3 and other Western MBTs proves a disadvantage to the UK and the rest of NATO; - The New Atlas

  1725. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Important update on September 27, 2024, the noose was strengthened around Ugledar by Russian forces, and has begun a massive unprecedented offensive, capturing half of the city, which was a stronghold for Ukrainian forces for two years. Video shows one of the Ugledar Mines successfully captured by Russian troops with the assault on the city continuing. Before the massive assault, Russian scouts wisely dropped campaign leaflets by drone in the western part of Ugledar, calling for the surrender of Zelensky's troops from the units of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, which was ordered to hold the city while he is still in the United States. At this time, for Zelensky's troops, the situation on the front is critical, the small mining town in the Donetsk region is surrounded, all entrances and exits are under Russian fire control. Ugledar, which is half surrounded is in half a cauldron, making some of the rest of the men from the 72nd Ukrainian Brigade, try to escape in Ugledar, but eventually a group of prisoners of war were forced to surrender. At first they tried to attack the Russian tank formation from Buryatia near Vodyanoye village in order to escape from Ugledar, but failed. All roads to Ugledar were cut off, their resistance was useless. Dozens of them eventually had only one chance to return home alive! The command of the Russian troops contacted the Armed Forces of Ukraine to surrender, or be blocked in Ugledar! They were supposed to surrender because Russia did not ask twice. As a result, Russia showered Ugledar with incendiary ammunition, fired from BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher systems at night. Some Western sources, citing their contacts in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, claim that Ugledar is completely surrounded. The video was recorded by the Ukrainian military themselves, who complained about the "difficult conditions" under the magnesium rain. In addition, Russian drones raided Ukrainian troops still entrenched in the city buildings. This was the last chance for the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade to retreat, and was rapidly closing. It is strongly suspected that in a few days Ugledar will fall!

  1727. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Ukrainian armored forces were completely destroyed, failing to unblock VelykaNovosilka, attempting to assist the withdrawal of troops from the Russian encirclement. Today's reports on January 21, 2025 from various reliable sources, indicate that Russian troops advanced on Velyka Novosilka and captured part of the city, while Ukrainian armored forces tried to use a smoke screen to cover the possible withdrawal of units, now they are moving across Mokri Yaly river towards the flank of NovyKomar. Finally, Ukrainian garrison is almost completely surrounded, and it is not easy to retreat through the waterways and open fields. The Russian military has a fairly strong hold along the flank, where Russian drone operators spotted the armored maneuver and immediately destroyed it! The defeat of Ukrainian armor due to drone shooting by the Russian Armed Forces at the starting position in Dneproenergiya village. Another attempt of the armor was thwarted when they decided to reach the ground and move across the river, the distance from the combat contact line was about 5 km. It seems that Ukraine did not take into account that Russian fiber optic FPV drones work 24 hours a day, locking the flanks and hitting several enemy armor separately. In the village, Ukraine had to be willing to lose one T-64 BV, one Kozak armored vehicle and one American International M1224 MaxxPro MRAP. Other equipment such as one Excavator was destroyed and one 2S3 Akatsiya 152 mm self-propelled gun was burned by drones as in the footage. Meanwhile in a separate location, explosion and subsequent fire on an infantry fighting vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Novy Komar village. Footage shows one Ukrainian variant of BMP-1 or BRM-1K, trying to break through to help the besieged troops reach the land of Velyka Novosilka, moving under the shadow of a drone operated by a Russian operator from the 37th Russian Motorized Rifle Brigade. The fiber optic drone strike destroyed it and burned completely. Velyka Novosilka front in south Donetsk is very worrying and the besieged Ukrainian troops have no choice but to surrender!

  1731. The traditional leaders of Europe — i.e., the United Kingdom, France and Germany — are reeling in the wake of Pete Hegseth’s speech to the NATO defense ministers and JD Vance’s address to the Munich Security Conference. They are reacting like a jilted spouse who was just informed by their significant other that the marriage is kaput… crying and gnashing of teeth is widespread. In a desperate bid to recover from Vance’s verbal beating of the European authoritarians, French President Emmanuel Macron hastily convened a summit in Paris with a select group of European leaders in order to craft a coordinated plan to continue the war in Ukraine without the United States: The meeting was a fiasco. Despite trying to stack the conference with members ostensibly inclined to keep the lights on in Kiev, they failed to reach a consensus and emerged from the session taking verbal shots at one another: We are witnessing history. The post-World War II order with the US ruling the roost is coming unglued. I think this is the beginning of the end for NATO and for the European Union. But the collapse is not imminent. Political and economic chaos are likely to shake the major European countries and create internal pressures in the next two years that will lead the various nations to seek their own path for security outside the confines of NATO or the EU. Already we are hearing that some states are keen on reviving economic relations with Russia, with an eye on getting access to cheap oil and gas. - sonar21

  1754. Here is another article of delusional hopium courtesy of the folks at War on the Rocks. HOLD, BUILD, AND STRIKE: A VISION FOR REBUILDING UKRAINE’S ADVANTAGE IN 2024 I will make this real simple. Ukraine does not have the ability to implement the War on the Rocks prescription. First, manpower. Even Ukrainian sources are conceding that Ukraine has suffered more than a million casualties. The average age of the frontline troops is 43. For the math challenged out there (this clearly applies to Kofman, Lee and Massicot), if the average age is 43 that means you have a large number of 50 and 60 year old cannon fodder manning the trenches and bunkers. The under 40 crowd is not flocking to the recruiting office in Kiev to sign up. Just the opposite. They are going to extreme lengths to avoid being dragooned into the army. We’ve seen guys wearing disguises that make them look like 70 year old men and others dressing as women. Not because they are transgender but because the Ukrainian recruiters are not grabbing women off the street and throwing them on to the military bus. Let’s assume that Ukraine can somehow find an additional 500,000 potential soldiers. (They will need at least that many to keep up with Russia who added that number to their armed forces in 2023 and continue to sign up new recruits at the rate of more than 40,000 a month.) Where are they going to train? Russia’s missile strikes during the past month have hit some major troop locations. For example, the strike in Kharkiv last week wiped out a 200 man contingent of foreign mercenaries. Russia can and will hit every training center in Ukraine, which means the new Ukie recruits will have to be sent to bases in Europe. The War on the Rocks clown show pays lip service to Ukraine’s need for air defense, artillery, artillery rounds, tanks and armored vehicles, but ignores the real world. No country in the West has the ability to produce these items and send them to Ukraine in the quantities required to sustain a force in the field for the foreseeable future. The authors are particularly lost in La La land when they talk about Ukraine being able to launch long range missiles to hit critical infrastructure in Russia. There is no other country in the world with an air defense system like Russia’s. Moreover, if such attacks are launched Russia has the ability to launch successful counter strikes to eliminate those threats. Finally, let’s assume that Ukraine is able to muster a new army of cannon fodder to attack Russia’s heavily defended lines? Where is the Ukrainian air power? It does not exist and will not exist. If the United States is able to deploy a few F-16s to Ukraine, they will meet the same fate that Ukraine’s now non-existent air force met. They will be shot down. Let me leave you with this. It is a report from the front lines by Russia’s pre-eminent war correspondent, Marat Khayrullin. Here is the current reality: Speaking figuratively, today the entire front line is turning more and more into conditional Krynki. The Ukrainians are stupidly sitting in their holes and trying to somehow survive. And we continue to destroy them with greater and greater intensity. There is no point in eliminating this conditional bridgehead at the cost of the lives of our fighters – the enemy is already doomed. It’s much wiser to just wait. Moreover, we have nowhere to rush – assistance to the enemy from the West is drying up, human reserves are running out. And most importantly, the collective enemy is increasingly realizing the futility of resistance. - Sonar21

  1756. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Important summary until January 28, 2025, latest reports from reliable sources indicate that Chasov Yar is the focus of Russian Armed Forces after successfully taking several Ukrainian “large defensive cities” recently. Now, Russian tanks and drones are preparing “cauldrons” for Armed Forces of Ukraine, finding weak points in their defenses even while fighting alongside NATO, and several of their heavily fortified strongholds have been captured! The battle continues to capture high-rise blocks, breaking through the center and starting to separate the remaining Ukrainian formations in the city center. The assault company of the 331st Regiment is attacking from positions at the refractory plant, capturing part of the private housing sector. Footage shows Russian attack on the refractory plant area, a stronghold and Ukrainian garrison now lying in the rubble of destroyed buildings as shown in the January 27 video recorded by Ukrainian army. Strong Russian tank fire, providing support to the assault units of the Airborne Formation, which are focused on destroying Ukrainian defensive strongholds. The crew of “Ivanovo” Paratroopers deploy their T-72B3 tank during combat as shown in footage shared by Russian Defense Ministry on January 27. The modernized T-72B3 tanks, now equipped with FVP anti-drone nets and rubber-reinforced protection, also received additional protection for the rear, engine, and engine-transmission compartments of the tanks. In addition, the equipment was equipped with means of reducing visibility and electronic warfare systems to counter drones, the ammunition of which neutralized Ukrainian serviceman still entrenched in multi-storey houses and workshops of ChasovYar industrial zone, the Defense Ministry reported. Meanwhile, Russian drones carried out attacks and shelling of buildings in the forests south of ChasivYar a few days ago, leading to the capture of a NATO officers’ bunker there, according to Tuesday’s report. The Akhmat Special Forces unit and the assault force of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade took the network of positions, built by Ukrainian military with NATO assistance in the area of Chasovyarets recreation center during the war in Donbass before Russian "special military operation" in 2022. The huge bunker located underground, made of concrete and with a capacity of 30-40 people, is a fortified stronghold that has slowed down Russian advance, the destruction of which will speed up the liberation of the city. On another occasion, the latest footage shows a Russian drone destroying a Ukrainian armored vehicle. The BMP initially opened fire on Russian positions and rushed away from the place, then UAV drone crew of the 98th Airborne Division of the Southern Group of Forces arrived, chased and immediately hit the BMP, which was still trying to escape with its passengers after the drone was shot down. Not far from the place, another BMP-2 was also hit by a drone mortar, leaving the hardware immobile. Once again, it seems that the Ukrainian coalition cannot hold back the Russian advance and will soon collapse! Russian troops continue to clean up the captured areas. Footage shows Soldiers from the 38th engineer-sapper battalion clearing a road to speed up the movement of equipment towards Chasov Yar, and to speed up its liberation!

  1764. MILITARY TUBE TODAY-The Russian Armed Forces took initiative control at the Kursk site, taking the overwhelmed Ukrainian and NATO troops, a large number of which were captured increasingly becoming prisoners of war. In 48 hours on August 13-14, 2024, Russian military correspondents documented, several enemy groups becoming Russian captures on the border, but here some infographic images are not shown. Although some on the Russian side were also taken hostage and killed, this senseless operation, culminating in an ambush of Kiev troops by infantry, drones, or aircraft. They opened a new direction where Russian troops had a greater advantage was a boon for Russian troops, despite the temporary victory of Ukrainian media. It always starts like this in all battles, even if Western mercenaries fight side by side with Ukrainians against Russia. Footage of Ukrainian troops serving in the 80th Air Assault Brigade, captured near the village of Ulanok by the 382nd Battalion of the 810th Brigade, or rather one of the battalions consisting of mobilized Russian fighters. In addition to an assault team of five Ukrainian soldiers who were captured, Russian soldiers also seized important equipment and a ridge in the area. One of the leaders is a suspect in a criminal case initiated by the Investigative Committee regarding the attack on Russian territory. According to the detainees, Zelensky sacrificed some of the most capable and experienced Ukrainian troops for the Kursk campaign. A new wave of Ukrainian prisoners and liquidation operations, and destruction continue under the leadership of the Russian Special Forces and the Chechen Akhmat troops, on the border. Another Ukrainian detachment that was captured, stated that they had been in the region for only a day, capturing them very quickly in the first days of the operation. They were lucky not to meet Wagner fighters, because the Musicians had warned that they did not plan to take prisoners. A group of the detainees added about their desire to fight the Kiev regime, because throwing these people into the fire, like them were worthless. According to reports for August 13 only in 24 hours in Kursk, the Russian Armed Forces have eliminated up to 420 Ukrainian personnel in NATO operations. According to the latest reports from the battlefield in Kursk, 120 French soldiers, 180 Polish soldiers, and dozens of British, Estonian and other foreign soldiers from NATO countries, have been identified. It seems that the entire operation was prepared abroad. It was a NATO operation from the start, analysts note. - Military Tube Today

  1765. Beyond the perfunctory pledges for cooperation in various civil fields, Russia and NK intend to construct a new road bridge at their border to better facilitate inter-state travel, as well as the big one: a ‘comprehensive strategic partnership’ for assistance in the event of aggression. There is the obvious fact that this represents an immediate signaling by Putin that he wasn’t bluffing when he said there would be retaliation for crossing of the red lines. The West escalates tensions by shielding themselves beneath a nuclear-capable proxy, which would allow the waging of nuclear war against Russia with a sort of built-in plausible deniability or legal defense. So now, Russia has requited in kind by implying they can give North Korea even more lethal missile technologies which can potentially be used in conjunction with nuclear warheads to put the U.S. under the nuclear sword. One suggestion making the rounds is the potential to supply the Russian Army with North Korea’s devastating KN-25 600mm MLRS system, which is basically the NK version of an ATACMS: That’s all not to mention the fact that while this was ongoing, Russian hypersonic-armed warships reportedly performed maneuvers within visual sight of Miami, a clear message sent: In short, Russia’s strategic defensive initiative with North Korea promises to keep Russia’s artillery-thirsty army more than quenched indefinitely. Russian forces on the north Kharkov front have settled into positions and allowed the reinforced Ukrainian troops to take the initiative in assaulting so that they can exhaust and attrition them, before retaking the initiative with new offensive actions. It’s becoming more and more evident that the entire Konstantinovka region is being placed in a slow-constricting boiler: As most intelligent observers know by now, the war is not about primarily gaining territory: it’s about attritioning the AFU and breaking its spirit until the point of collapse. - Simplicius

  1792. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Following the failure of the Zelensky regime-ordered offensive operation in Kursk over the weekend, another offensive south of Berdin has turned into a “kamikaze” attack, now turning into a graveyard filled with NATO equipment and the bodies soldiers of Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Special Forces “Akhmat” have released their 5-minute footage on January 7, 2025, showing the interception of enemy armored vehicles by their FPV drones from the “Aida” Group during the Ukrainian “big offensive” south of the settlement. The Russian fiber-optic cable-guided FPV drone strike on enemy equipment, which attempted to carry out some kind of attack in the area, which clearly welcomed the forced military action, destroyed the convoy of vehicles during the “Kursk safari” attempt. Kursk has become the largest graveyard for Western military vehicles in the field of science, not a day goes by without dozens of them being destroyed by Russian troops. The soldiers documented many another scenes of destruction by Russian drone strikes on enemy convoys, leaving expensive NATO equipment behind and causing terrible consequences for them! A $4.9 million British Challenger tank was destroyed by an FPV drone that cost no more than $10,000. The cost was unmatched, and the results showed Russian superiority in using low-cost technology with high efficiency. The surviving Ukrainian tank crew was seen fleeing the scene. A Russian soldier also documented the targeting of an American Stryker vehicle. The armored vehicle was destroyed and then abandoned with eight Ukrainian servicemen’s bodies near it. The operation turned out to be a dismal failure, as the Russian army treated the Ukrainian armored vehicles as if they were targets in a shooting practice with details supported by evidence. Russian Spetsnaz drone operators destroyed the Ukrainian mine-clearing vehicle. They didn’t stop there, as their drones immediately detected the Ukrainian armored convoy and destroyed it. The scene revealed utter devastation among Zelensky’s troops. Furthermore, Russian drone operators cheered as they watched the Ukrainian T-72 tank being blown into the air and were very happy about this achievement. Despite this, several surviving enemy tank crews attempted to flee, and one crew member, who was slightly burned, apparently rushed to the surrounding area to find water to put out the fire. In a desperate adventure, Zelensky launched a military operation on Russian territory, in a last-ditch effort to achieve success on the ground, but it turned out to be a disaster. The Kiev regime wasted equipment and human lives to speed up the process. Even as their troops tried to evacuate their wounded comrades, Russian drones relentlessly monitored and pursued them. Ukrainian troops tried to break through the Kursk defenses with armored vehicles and combat vehicles, but Russian troops were well prepared, destroying most of them quickly and accurately, causing heavy losses for Ukraine.

  1825. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Finally, Russian harsh retaliation has come! This morning, August 26, 2024, the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive thunderous strike across Ukraine with high-precision weapons against critical energy infrastructure that ensures the operation of the complex, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said. According to preliminary estimates, more than 60 missiles and 100 drones were used in the strike on the map of Ukraine territory for two hours. Russia has long since stopped carrying out missile and drone strikes, which were so massive and dense in many cities - in some places they are already rumbling again. There is almost no air defense work in the attack area, and it seems that most of the air defense has been withdrawn to the borders of the Kursk region. Videos are circulating on the Internet filmed by local residents, at least one missile arriving at the Kiev hydroelectric power station. According to initial reports from Ukrainian media, the explosion caused severe damage to the engine room and on the road leading to the dam of the power plant. Earlier, authorities reported that traffic along the dam in both directions was blocked at least until lunchtime. Emergency power outages began after the strike. According to the analysis, the attack was only a warning and pressure on Kiev officials, if Russia really wanted to destroy it completely, they would have used Khinzal missile or at least 4 cruise missiles. If successful, this would have flooded one of the largest cities in Europe permanently. According to preliminary estimates at the moment, several explosions were heard in Kiev including at Zhuliany Airport, and at least 10 regions were targeted. The water supply in Zhitomir has been completely stopped after a strike at an electricity distribution station. The Usatovo substation, an important electricity distribution center in the Odessa region, was burned down – four arrivals were recorded and thick smoke was seen rising, causing a power outage. In addition, at least 30 trucks were burned down as a result of shooting at a motor transport company near Odessa. Many regions of Ukraine are experiencing widespread power outages, railway infrastructure is down, and water supplies are also cut off. The list of targets will be long, and there is no rush to conclusions!

  1827. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The first images of several Israeli helicopters flying near the southern Lebanese border have emerged with the aim of evacuating soldiers who were killed in an ambush in Maroun al-Ras, according to local sources on October 2, 2024. Maroun al-Ras is one of the highest points, hills and endless fortifications in the area, where a second battle is currently underway after in 2006, Israel failed to capture the city after fighting there for weeks against Ridwan Hezbollah forces. Lebanese fighters reported a successful ambush and heavy losses on the Zionist side. Beirut confirmed that Israeli forces crossed the "blue line" of demarcation, where the UNIFIL peacekeeping force was previously stationed. More than 10 Israeli soldiers were killed in clashes in southern Lebanon and 60 others were injured, Sky News Arabia reported. Views from the east of Maroun al-Ras show medical helicopters buzzing and continuing to arrive - Israeli evacuations are underway where many casualties are reported in the fighting that has not ended as clashes are still ongoing according to the Israeli side. In addition, the Israeli army announced at least 8 Israeli soldiers killed and 35 others wounded in a Hezbollah ambush in the southern Lebanese village of Odaisseh, according to media reports. Some images show confirmation of the death toll from the IDF's 89th Brigade Egoz Unit, Eitan Oster the command captain, and Nazir Etkin the team commander were also liquidated, who specialized in anti-guerrilla warfare, special reconnaissance, and direct attempts to enter Maroun al-Ras. About a day earlier, the commander of the Egoz unit announced that they would carry out larger maneuvers in Lebanon in the so-called Northern Arrows Operation against Hezbollah, and seek to return the northern settlers safely to their homes. The Israeli army showed scenes of their invasion as they entered Lebanese territory with the participation of commandos, which they said. However, it seems that so far they have suffered heavy losses when trying to advance on the Maroun El Ras line, and may be forced to retreat!

  1840. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The dynamics of events are very fast on the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces raised the flag over the administrative building of the mine "Russia" or its Ukrainian name "Kotlyarivska", on the eastern outskirts of Selidovo. The events of Selidovo were recorded by Russian military correspondents on August 29, 2024, showing the momentum of the soldiers of the "Brave O Group" of the Central Military District raising the tricolor flag during the offensive in this direction, after their units began storming the important town of Selidovo, destroying the enemy, and capturing the defense lines of the Ukrainian troops within three days. In fact, there has been a serious advance of the Russian troops in recent days. The first military results of the Ukrainian offensive and NATO trainers and tacticians on Kursk turned into a bitter pill, instead Selidovo was taken by Russia. Ukrainian resources previously announced the start of the assault in Selidovo by Russian troops. Ukrainian troops did not expect such a maneuver now, and it is likely that only hastily equipped defenses will be built. Ukrainians are retreating in disorder, Russian artillery is working in this direction to the south and west of the town, this indicates that Selidovo is under the control of Russian troops. Therefore, it is likely that the city will not last long and the Ukrainians will be forced to leave without serious fighting. The media effect of the Kursk invasion is gradually fading! On the contrary, the Ukrainian segment is increasingly talking about the collapse of the front line on the Pokrovsk direction. They filmed the destruction of American Abrams tanks by Russian kamikaze drones, burning on the front road. Meanwhile, as Russian soldiers advance on Pokrovsk, they find other destroyed Bradley and Abrams tanks. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are planning an operation to completely fall the town of Selidovo, and the Ukrainian formations that are in disarray there will probably be withdrawn!

  1847. An interview with AFU company commander, Nikolai Melnik, who lost his leg in the fighting, gives a detailed account of the beginnings of the AFU’s grand summer counteroffensive. He relates that the entire sky was blackened by an apocalyptic storm of bursting remote-mine munitions, showering the battlefield with leg-chewing, tank-tread-gnawing, glacis-spalling death. For those wiping their eyes and balking at the description, this lurid reminder from the very battle may humble you. So, basically the whole purpose of the counteroffensive was to thrust a phalanx of scary topshelf NATO armor at the Russkies and hope they ran away in terror, in their inferior Soviet rustbuckets. Well, we all know how that went down. He goes on to describe his withering recovery, how he lost his leg due to doctors not even being able to treat it properly due to the flood of wounded which paralyzed emergency centers. [Regarding NATO Allies, we see the following,] how utterly sophomoric their grasp of international relations is. In their wild conceit, they’ve gotten so utterly drunk on their distorted and ill-conceived image of Russia that they completely ignore inherent realities, of just how much actual power and influence Russia wields on the global stage. In short, unlike NAFO internet incels, NATO brass knows Russia’s capabilities and isn’t crazy enough to test every single red line. - Simplicius The Sun is Tabloid Rag agitprop for the World Deep State Warmongers!

  1853. Moscow faced its largest-ever wave of Ukrainian kamikaze drones on Tuesday night, with Russian air defenses successfully intercepting hundreds of the incoming UAVs, according to officials. Later in the day, senior Ukrainian and US officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss potential peace negotiations – a process President Donald Trump is pushing both Kiev and Moscow to embrace. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, a total of 337 Ukrainian drones were neutralized overnight. The ministry’s statement detailed that 126 of these were intercepted over Kursk Region, which is adjacent to the Ukrainian border and well-covered by Russian air defenses; 91 were brought down over Moscow Region, which surrounds the capital. Largest raid of its kind Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin described the Ukrainian attack as the most extensive to have targeted the city, with at least 74 drones aimed directly at the capital. However, he only reported minor damage; the roof of an apartment complex was struck. Moscow Region, however, sustained more serious consequences. Governor Andrey Vorobyov detailed casualties across three municipalities, with the most devastating incident occurring in Domodedovo. A disabled drone struck a parking lot at a food factory, killing a night guard instantly. Another worker suffered severe head injuries and died shortly after being hospitalized. Two other victims remain in critical condition, Vorobyov stated, while Children’s Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova has reported that three children have suffered minor injuries. Hours later Domodedovo head Evgenia Khrustalyova announced the death of another patient who had been admitted with injuries sustained in the attack. Terrorism investigation The Russian Investigative Committee has officially classified the Ukrainian operation as an act of terrorism. Moscow claims Kiev has resorted to such tactics due to setbacks on the battlefield. Russian MP Leonid Slutsky alleged that some of the intercepted drones were aimed at the Kursk nuclear power plant, calling it an act of “nuclear blackmail.” - RT

  1855. In the footsteps of assassins and those who hire them Andrey Derkach, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian who became widely known for publishing recordings of conversations between ex-Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko and high-ranking foreign officials, including Biden (who was then US vice president), gave an extensive interview earlier this month to journalist Simona Mangiante. During this conversation, he disclosed sensational new details about the “special ties” between the Biden family and the Ukrainian authorities. So, instead of exposing the corruption in the previous Ukrainian administration, the Bidens (along with Zelensky and his team) turned against anti-corruption fighters. Derkach, who has been forced to hide in Belarus, was stripped of his citizenship by the Ukrainian authorities and sanctioned by the US. But that’s not all. In addition to criminal investigations and sanctions, Derkach says he has faced assassination attempts ordered by top officials in Kiev and Washington. It is noteworthy that in 2021, the Ukrainian police discovered plans to assassinate Derkach and the head of the group of prosecutors in the Burisma energy company case, Konstantin Kulik, but did not initiate a criminal case. The investigation tracked down the criminal gang from Eastern Europe hired to carry out the hit, as well as their base in Transcarpathia. The assassin himself was supposed to be an Albanian, but the information was leaked, and the gang escaped. The number of witnesses in the Burisma case – a company though which Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden earned profits via alleged corruption schemes – is also steadily decreasing. Shortly before she was due to testify as a witness in the case, the wife of Nikolai Lisin – a former partner of Nikolai Zlochevsky – was found dead in her apartment. She had been responsible for accounting at Burisma and had been aware of transactions carried out in the interests of the Bidens. Lisin himself died in a car accident back in 2011. - RT

  1872. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - An armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian Army, which was on its way to the Pokrovsk front line, was completely wiped out by several well-prepared strikes by Russian troops. The Russian military channel released footage on Telegram channel, on September 30, 2024, showing how an APC, loaded with troops, decided to confidently rush to the positions of Russian troops, holding back attacks to defend Pokrovsk and being able to decide the fate of the war in one of the hottest sections of the front. However, the footage of objective control shows that the armored personnel carrier was even thwarted by a mine explosion, and was forced to stop in the middle of the journey. The unknown armored personnel carrier was set on fire by the “Black Leopards” of the Central Military District, which were on alert at the front. The surviving troops of about four people inside the vehicle scattered out of the vehicle and hid in the forest belt. The attack was continued with artillery ammunition, which swept the armored personnel carrier with additional fire, completely destroying it. As for the troops who managed to escape from the vehicle, it is unknown whether they were evacuated by their comrades or further processed by Russian troops. So far, the Russian Armed Forces are unstoppable, capturing two more villages, they have only 9 kilometers left to Pokrovsk in Donetsk region. Bombing raids were carried out on air defense posts of the Nazi Brigade "Lyut" in the villages of Lysovka and Krutoy Yar, military experts say. At one site, Ukrainian soldiers filmed the facts on their mobile phones from a distance, showing how Russian armored vehicles surrounded their comrades' positions. Fortunately, they escaped without waiting for the encirclement to come upon them.

  1880. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - It was confirmed on September 10, 2024 that Vodyanoe, northeast of Ugledar, has been captured by Russian forces. The stronghold of Ugledar in the Donetsk region has held out for almost 2 years, but Ukrainian forces appear to be saying goodbye soon! Russian soldiers raised the flag of the Russian Federation in Vodyanoe and asserted military control over the settlement, which was liberated 3.5 kilometers wide and 1.12 kilometers deep, cutting off Ukrainian logistics towards Ugledar. Further in the background are two more mining complexes to Ugledar, the Yuzhno-Donbasskaya-1 coal mine has been taken over by Russia, number 2 still belongs to the Zelensky regime. Aviation and Tankers of the "Vostok" Group of the Russian Armed Forces, began a massive attack on Ukrainian positions at the Yuzhno-Donbasskaya-3 mine, west of Vodyanoe. This destroyed the Ukrainian positions at the top of the mine, about 30 enemy soldiers were destroyed along with their equipment. Here, the Ukrainian forces were so demoralized by the attack that about half of them were killed. The Ukrainians could not withstand the onslaught and surrendered to the Russians. The work was carried out by marines as part of armored groups on BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, managing to capture several of their strongholds and disrupt the supply routes of the Ukrainian garrison, which was increasingly squeezed in Ugledar. Before attacking enemy positions, the marines, as a rule, distributed leaflets with offers to surrender, and instructions on how to do it. Surveillance footage showed that two Ukrainian servicemen decided to lay down their arms, amid fears of breaking supply lines in their sector of the front. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on September 9. At least several settlements fell to the Russians in the former Ukrainian Donetsk. Like the previously fortified Avdeevka, it held out for a long time. And no doubt the collapse of the trapped Ugledar will follow! As the cities fell one by one, the Ukrainians unleashed a desperate barrage of drone strikes on Russian cities. Two Ukrainian servicemen who voluntarily surrendered near Ugledar, told at length how bad the service of their commanders in the Armed Forces of Ukraine was.

  1891. [How sad. Ukraine has bombed open air markets, libraries, bakeries, voting facilities and now a zoo. Ukrainians are a disgrace!] “Grundy, our pet Bennett kangaroo, was killed in the shelling,” said the post on the zoo’s VK page on Tuesday. “The [exotic animal area] and the kangaroo enclosure were damaged by cluster fragments. Unfortunately, Grundy was outside at that time…” Bennett’s tree kangaroo is native to Queensland in northeast Australia. Grundy came to Belgorod from St. Petersburg in late 2019 and was described as “friendly, meek and absolutely fearless.” “There are no words to convey the pain. And anger. And powerlessness,” the zoo said. “We will never forget you, sweetie. When this waking nightmare is over, Grundy, we will plant the most delicious grapes in our forest in honor of you!” The Belgorod Zoo added that at least none of the staff were harmed. While the park has been shut down until further notice, employees are still coming in to take care of the animals. According to the Belgorod authorities, over the past week Ukrainian strikes have killed 11 civilians – including children – and injured 82 more, about half of whom have required hospitalization. Nine people are currently in serious but stable condition. Kiev’s forces have been using multiple-launcher rocket systems, such as the US HIMARS and the Czech Vampire, to strike at Belgorod since January, when 25 civilians were killed and over 100 injured in a Christmas market massacre. The missiles have often been armed with cluster warheads, many of which have been provided by the US, which is not a signatory to the convention banning the controversial munitions because of their harm to noncombatants. - RT

  1906. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – More soldiers fighting for Ukraine are fleeing faster especially from the Kursk border in an attempt to avoid Russian encirclement, or on another front. Just today on November 26, 2024, footage by Russian soldier's GoPro lens shows evidence, Ukrainian squad trying to escape and an armored vehicle abandoned at a location for unknown reasons. Russian soldiers approach and inspect the vehicle, where the driver and passengers have disappeared, which is likely to follow the forest belt because it is not according to plan. Inside the vehicle are some stolen equipment from civilians in Kursk, they left behind a washing machine, fan, kettle, keyboard and other devices, according to Russian military reports and as shown in the footage. The fact that on the same day, Ukrainian soldiers tried to escape from Kursk faster than bullets and missiles, despite pro-Ukrainian media continuing to report progress by recycling old videos pretending that Ukraine is still effective, it does not help! Three another Ukrainian soldiers fled, deciding to leave their positions on foot. The arrival of Russian artillery at their positions with puffs of smoke, became the main reason to save themselves from further encirclement! This is the result of Ukrainian attempts to infiltrate Kursk, which is constantly under ambush by the landlords, Russian forces. On November 23, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian Special Forces of the Crimean Paratroopers, carried out a prepared ambush on Ukrainian armored assault group in Sudzha district. One British Mastiff vehicle for the breakthrough was overturned by the attack and liquidated about 20 enemy soldiers. Russian soldiers also took home a trophy, a Western-made Mastiff! It is known that Ukrainian soldiers are starting to pay a high price for Kiev's proxy war with the Western collective. They tend to fail to carry out combat actions in groups, are killed, wounded, abandoned, captured, and those who escaped are likely to survive. Kursk is a disaster for Kiev, they must immediately retreat or they need long-range missiles to cover their lack of troops.

  1914. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - There were many losses, after the Iskander missile strike of Russian troops destroyed a large accumulation of vehicles and personnel of the Armed Forces od Ukraine in the Sumy region. Russian military correspondents released footage on September 4, 2024, showing the work of Russian Armed Forces reconnaissance officers, discovering a large concentration of Kiev equipment and troops while disembarking personnel near their stronghold in Bezdryk, southeast of the Sumy city. One of the launches of nine Iskander-M ballistic missiles, launched at once in the Sumy region on that day, thwarted the planned redeployment of Ukrainian troops in the settlement, about 30 kilometers from the Russian border and planned to the Kursk region. All invisible to the media of the war supporters, the high price of the failure of the Kiev officials in the Kursk mission was paid by the Ukrainians who were forcibly recruited. The concentration point was completely destroyed by missile, which did not care about the enemy's air defense systems. As a result of the missile landing, the entire assault brigade was destroyed, more than 70 personnel were killed, collected and loaded onto trucks. According to the information received, at least some units of equipment were destroyed, such as 7 cargo vehicles, 4 armored combat vehicles, and 9 off-road vehicles. In recent days, Iskander missiles have been diligently working to destroy enemy personnel, including their headquarters in several regions of Ukraine, victims include NATO personnel!

  1923. The US is pursuing a “deeply hostile” nuclear policy while attempting “to lecture” Russia and China, Moscow’s ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, warned on Thursday. His comments came after the US acting assistant secretary of defense for space policy, Vipin Narang, said that Washington finds itself “in nothing short of a new nuclear age,” adding that it must “prepare for a world where constraints on nuclear weapons arsenals disappear entirely.” Antonov condemned the speech as “innuendos about Russia’s allegedly irresponsible behavior in the nuclear sphere,” adding that this type of rhetoric does little to contribute to “improving the situation in the sphere of strategic security.” Washington is “once again trying to teach” Russia and China the “right behavior,” the diplomat added. “Otherwise, they threaten the advent of a new ‘nuclear age’ in which the United States will not be able to restrain the growth of its own nuclear arsenal.” The US also continues to “pump” Ukraine with more and more weapons amid the conflict with Russia, including fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons, Antonov stated, describing the policy as “deeply hostile.” It will not be possible to achieve cooperation with Moscow while attempting to inflict a “strategic defeat” against it, the envoy warned. Antonov also accused Washington of “silencing the inconvenient truth about the more than two decades of US strikes against the entire architecture of international arms control.” - RT

  1940. Russians destroying Uke Armies guilty of crimes against humanity for their indiscriminate shelling of civilians! RUSSIA CLOSING THE NOOSE ON UKRAINIAN TROOPS With Western eyes glued to the Middle East, Russia is on the offensive a pushing Ukrainians back all along the line of contact. Russian war correspondent Marat reports: For example, yesterday near Kleshcheevka, on the right front of the Bakhmut defense, our paratroopers from the 106th division, which had been holding the defense here for more than four months, unexpectedly launched a counterattack, occupying several enemy strongholds. The same is true in the Rabotino sector – the 1430th and 70th regiments, who heroically fought here for many days, have been conducting regular counterattacks for the third week. On the one hand, this speaks of the good shape that our army is in, and on the other hand, it completely dispels the myths of Ukrainian propaganda about our great losses. Units that suffer heavy losses are simply physically unable to instantly go from defense to offense. Even if they are regularly replenished with new recruits. And now, in fact, this sends the Ukrainians into an ever greater panic – they are beginning to understand that with their tactics of endless suicidal counterattacks and obstinacy on every piece of land, they provoked Russia into creating an army of such power that is now beginning to roll them into flat cakes. Once again, the enemy provoked this himself. - Sonar21 Darkness and rubble is all that's left of 2 family homes, as Ukrainian drone strikes border town of Belgorod, pre-war West Russia, early this morning. 3 people killed, including a small child, 2 more are in intensive care - Governor Gladkov. - Intel Report COUNTEROFFENSIVE ON ITS LAST LEGS: "We are not just behind schedule. We are completely behind schedule... Let's go without clarification and explanation of all this - we are behind schedule. Let everyone draw their own conclusions." - Chief of Ukrainian (un)Intelligence, Budanov. - Intel Report The advance of Russian forces following a two-pronged siege of Avdeevka suggests the heavily fortified area by Ukrainian forces could soon be taken. In the north, Ukrainian fortifications near the Coke Factory collapsed, and Russians captured an important height - Avdeevka waste heap. Meanwhile enveloping maneuvers in the south had reached Severnoye. - Military Tube Today

  1946. Trump’s worldview has been consistent for decades. Public declarations from the 1980s, long before his political career began, reflect the same core beliefs he holds today. Trump’s ultimate goal is American supremacy – but not the liberal global leadership championed by his predecessors. His version of supremacy is transactional and utilitarian. Alliances, institutions, and relationships are only valuable if they benefit the US materially. Those that demand sacrifices without offering returns are liabilities to be discarded. Trump’s America is not interested in moral authority, global stability, or solving the world’s problems. It is focused on extracting the maximum benefit from every interaction, whether in economics, security, or politics. If others refuse Trump’s ‘deal’, coercion quickly becomes his preferred strategy. Trump’s approach remains deeply flawed. He is uninterested in addressing the root causes of conflicts. In Ukraine, for example, his goal is not a comprehensive resolution but a simple cessation of hostilities. A stable ceasefire along existing lines would suffice for him, leaving the deeper security issues for Western Europe or others to resolve. For Russia, this falls short. Moscow seeks a long-term solution that addresses the imbalance in European security – a concern Trump is unlikely to prioritize. Trump’s disinterest in complex international designs further complicates matters. He prefers straightforward deals, as evidenced by the Abraham Accords in the Middle East. These agreements worked because they bypassed entrenched historical disputes in favor of pragmatic, economically driven solutions. However, applying this model to Ukraine is unrealistic. The conflict’s deep historical and geopolitical roots require a level of nuance and patience that Trump lacks. Trump’s transactional leadership style also extends to his perception of governance. He measures other governments not by their ideology but by their efficiency and willingness to align with US interests. Leaders who reject his advice or fail to meet his standards are dismissed as incompetent. While this approach is less ideologically driven than previous administrations, it still results in the US dictating terms to other nations, often disregarding their sovereignty. This attitude underscores a continuity in American foreign policy: The belief that the US has the right to define the ‘legitimate interests’ of other nations. Trump may abandon the ideological justifications of his predecessors, but the outcome – a US-centric worldview – remains unchanged. One thing is certain: The era of ‘global leadership’ as we knew it is over, and Trump is its most prominent symbol. - RT

  1948. While Ukraine was carrying out these 90% phony psyops with some modest success, Russia has been goring the AFU on the actual battlefield. Not only were there several reports of operational strikes on manpower consolidations like the following: But even the AFU themselves wrote of grievously painful losses. For instance, 108 Avdeevka ‘defenders’ were sent home for the holidays and their transport was struck by Russian precision weaponry, killing the entire group, as recounted by Ukrainian political scientists Vitaly Bala: Imagine that, 108 men wiped out in a single blow. It almost inclines one to quickly forget about an empty ‘landing ship’. He plainly states that they suffered more losses per day than they had previously suffered for entire months. That means to push Russian forces back those measly 1-2km behind the railroad tracks was costing them likely hundreds of lives per day, if not more—another example of Russian echeloned defense designed to systematically fall back while ‘leading’ the enemy through pre-set killboxes. The same soldier even makes an astonishing claim about NATO’s top gear, particularly the Abrams. He says the Abrams is useless because its low-positioned filters clog up every few minutes in Ukrainian terrain, requiring constant cleaning in the middle of battle, lest the tank entirely shut down: This segues us to the final section of battlefield updates. Russian forces have been making a lot of progress, finally officially capturing Marinka after nearly a decade. Even Zaluzhny confirmed the “full withdrawal” of AFU from Marinka during the press conference: Another exasperated AFU soldier wonders why society continues to downplay Russians as second rate when the AFU is being so badly slaughtered by them each day: - Simplicius

  1956. Uke losses measured in tens of thousands in a war they cannot win! "THINK ABOUT WEST-FUNDED NGOs": Warning comes straight from Moscow's top diplomat Lavrov in above vid where he alerts world of West’s hybrid WAR tactics at OSCE meeting. Minister also blasts NATO for being obedient to US and ignoring Russian proposals for arms control in Europe. Read here how these NGOs finance anti-gov riots to boost Western policy popularity and manufacture consent around globe. - Intel Report When winter weather stalled progress on the frontline last year, Russia began launching missile and drone barrages against Ukrainian military and infrastructure targets. In a statement on Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that missiles and drones were used the previous day to hit radar and anti-aircraft systems, fuel and ammunition depots, and Ukrainian personnel and hardware in multiple areas. A large-scale drone attack on Saturday targeted energy facilities in Kiev and several surrounding regions. - RT The Warmongering enemy is afraid to face the uncompromisable TRUTH of Lavrov, the giant in the room! Lavrov noted that after the end of the Cold War, the OSCE was supposed to become an inclusive platform for creating a sustainable security architecture in Europe and promoting international cooperation. “Unfortunately, Western political elites, arrogating to themselves the right to shape the future of mankind, made a short-sighted choice in favor… of NATO,” he said. Lavrov went on to say that the United States and its European allies have virtually destroyed any chance of broad-based East-West cooperation by imposing unprecedented sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. In this sense, the EU, which supported the restrictions, “continues to dutifully play its unenviable role and bear the brunt of the consequences of America’s Ukraine adventure, while humbly abandoning those forms of economic partnership that have ensured the [bloc’s] prosperity... for many decades”, he added. - RT Depressed Zelensky in above video boohoos "this is life and No one telling him if Ukraine going to be in NATO or not". He also struggles to make sense claiming same proxy war he's refusing to end is being fought...so there is no return to war. I believe we are moving towards this. We are following NATO standards and even creating our own. Mad Vlad, refusing to accept reality. - Intel Report The hiding place of Ukraine-NATO equipment and personnel at Avdeevsky Coke Factory was hit by attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Avdeevka. Precision-guided munition strikes scorched a number of armored vehicles camouflaged under a railway bridge at the entrance to the tunnel system beneath the factory. - Military Tube Today

The humanitarian situation in northern Gaza is getting worse and the population is out in the open after shelter centers were targeted.

  1965. For those not inclined to read to the end, here’s the bottom line — Israeli sources are admitting that the Israeli military killed its own civilians due to the oxymoronic term, “friendly fire.” The Government of Israel, in the aftermath of this debacle, worked furiously to proclaim the Hamas attack as mindless terrorism that had no other purpose than to slaughter Jews. Netanyahu’s government lied about Hamas murdering 40 babies and raping women. Not true. The only children killed that day were victims of the Israeli military. The Hamas attack was planned months in advance. We now know that Israeli intelligence officers tried to warn their bosses but were ignored. The Hamas plan was simple and had two objectives — 1) attack Israeli military position and kill soldiers, and 2) capture hostages to be used as bargaining chips to secure the release of imprisoned Palestinians. As I noted in a previous post, Hamas hit elements of the elite Golani Brigade and killed 72 of its members. That is not terrorism, that is war. YNET News published a piece today on “friendly fire” casualties by the Israeli military and buried this at the bottom of their piece: I guess this is Israel’s version of “Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” Remember the rave in the desert that was attacked by Hamas paragliders? The Hamas attackers were carrying rifles and pistols. They had no weapon system capable of causing this damage to the vehicles. These were hit by missiles fired by Israeli military helicopters. People who may have doubted the GrayZone reporting now have additional evidence to weigh in the aftermath of Israeli soldiers murdering three Israeli hostages who escaped their Hamas captors. Israel spent years bolstering its reputation as a professional, capable military force. Now, in the span of almost three months, the Israeli military is facing a pubic relations disaster. Instead of disciplined soldiers commanded by capable officers, the world is seeing an army and air force that is undisciplined, reckless and quick on the trigger. The United States Army was tarred by the My Lai massacre. The Israeli military campaign in Gaza in My Lai on steroids. - Sonar21

The Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has apparently revealed the true goal of his country’s enduring support for Ukraine and it has nothing to do with defending “democracy” or even battling Russia, but boils down to the modernization of the US’ own military-industrial complex, ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said. The US is not driven by a desire to help stop Ukraine from “disappearing from the world map” or by an intent to fight “for democracy against tyranny,” he said. Moreover, the US is apparently not even motivated by its repeatedly proclaimed goal of “even confronting Russia to diminish its defense capacity,” the ex-president suggested. “It turns out, it’s all about defense goods commissioning to increase military production output and create jobs. And, possibly, about the enormous profit that the companies close to the Biden administration get from it,” Medvedev wrote. - RT

  1989. French President Emmanuel Macron wants to send NATO ground troops into Ukraine to defeat Russia. Only a delusional fool could make such a crass proposal which goes to show that Macron is brain-dead. NATO troops deployed to fight Russian forces would mean an all-out war, which most likely would spiral into a nuclear conflagration. Ironically, the French leader made headlines a while back when he labeled the US-led NATO alliance as being “brain-dead”. He’s now competing for the same epithet. This week, the former Rothschild banker was at it again, indulging in his grandiose fantasies of leading the rest of Europe. This is reckless and dangerous fantasy by the French president indulging in the most unhinged Russophobia. Moscow has categorically stated that it has no interest in anything beyond denazifying the NATO-sponsored regime in Kiev and protecting its national security. NATO officers in the guise of private mercenaries are already heavily participating in the Ukraine conflict against Russia. Last month, more than 60 French servicemen were killed in a Russian missile strike near the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. No doubt the French president sees an opportunity for self-aggrandizement. Macron is obsessed with notions of his self-importance and restoring France’s international image to some imaginary glorious past. Macron’s egotism and delusions of grandeur are liable to start World War Three. He is doing all this by telling blatant lies about the conflict in Ukraine. That’s the implicit admission made by Macron. Why would NATO troops be required in Ukraine if it was not for replacing Ukrainian ranks that have been devastated? Macron justifies his lies by compounding the more outrageous lie that Russia is intent on invading other European nations once it defeats the Ukrainian army. This bogeyman version of geopolitics ignores the reality that the United States and NATO fomented a proxy war against Russia using a NeoNazi regime. Macron wants to start World War Three based on sheer lies and vanity. He’s not only brain-dead. He’s soul-dead too. - LewRockwell

  1994. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian military correspondents released footage on January 11, 2025, showing the mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers as a terrible form of self-defense in Kurakhovo city and its outskirts. Keep in mind! Kurakhovo was recently conquered by the powerful Russian military, and the Russian Defense Ministry officially reported its capture on Monday, January 6. After a month of fierce fighting, the strategic city in Donetsk was practically unharmed. About 4 thousand residents out of 18 thousand who lived here before the conflict, remained in their homes. The situation in the city is now calm as reported by the Russian war correspondent on January 12, when he visited Kurakhovo for the first time. Vasily Krakhmal, on behalf of the prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told how they could not withstand the rapid attacks of Russian troops during the storming of Kurakhovo city, and in the amount of 16 people, made a smart choice to lay down their arms and surrender to the Russian military at Kurakhovo industrial zone. Krakhmal also revealed details of his orders and urged his colleagues to save their lives. They exposed the deception of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the poor provision of weapons and supplies, and the senseless resistance of the trained professional units of the Russian Armed Forces. Now, this leaves the Ukrainian military with one chance of salvation, to benefit themselves and their families at home. Russian fighters from the South Group of Forces say that the Ukrainian defenses in and around Kurakhovo were completely unprepared for a multi-layered defense. In the liberated Shevchenko, a general view of the star-shaped defensive positions abandoned by Ukrainian troops and then captured by the Russian Armed Forces. The Ukrainians continue to retreat, making room for the Russian army to advance. At the same time, in Yantarny sector south of Kurakhovo, Russian soldiers from the 10th Tank Regiment of the 20th Division raised a flag over the village. The Russian Defense Ministry reported today, January 12, that units of the South Group of Forces managed to liberate the settlement during active offensive operations. The defenses in Yantarny, north of Sukhi Yaly River, were broken through, and units of the Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade were shot down and captured. Neither drone strikes, cluster munitions, Western weapons, tanks, nor underground fortifications were able to stop the advance of the Russian assault troops.

A lot of leaders in the NATO club are invested heavily in the belief that if enough pressure is applied to Russia then the country, the economy, the military and society will collapse like a JENGA tower. Only one little problem — that strategy has failed; the opposite happened. Instead of growing weaker and fracturing, Russia has grown stronger and less dependent on the United States and Europe. The economy is purring along. The Russian defense industry has ramped up to unprecedented levels in the modern Russia era. For example, Russia is churning out more than two million 152mm artillery rounds a year. The Russian army is filling recruitment quotas and turning out fully trained soldiers. Russia is producing surprising numbers of hypersonic missiles and drones, which have transformed the battlefield in Russia’s favor. - Sonar21 The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing a Tor-M2 short-range anti-aircraft system intercepting a US-made Switchblade kamikaze drone deployed by Ukrainian forces.

  2021. Let me start with some disturbing and stunning news out of Ukraine, courtesy of Russia’s Ministry of Defense. Ukraine has lost more than 700,000 personnel (i.e., KIA, WIA and AWOL) in the last six months: ▪ Over the past six months, the monthly sanitary and irreplaceable losses of AFU manpower have consistently amounted to about 50,000 people and more (January 2025 – 51960 people, December 2024 – 48470 people, November 2024 – 60805 people, etc.). ▪ At the same time, the number of new recruits in the AFU training centers, even taking into account the “activation” of TCCs throughout Ukraine, has been barely reaching 30,000 people per month for about half a year, who are sent to the line of contact without proper training, which leads to a reduction in the number of AFU personnel. ▪ According to official data, about 100,000 Ukrainian military personnel have left their military units unauthorized and gone on the run. Ukraine’s military is literally bleeding to death. These are unsustainable losses. Making matters worse is the political chaos unfolding in Kiev. A criminal case alleging corruption has been opened on Ukraine’s Defense Minister Umerov while Ukraine’s SBU has opened a criminal case against Kirill Budanov, Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Budanov is being investigated after media reports appeared detailing his warning to members of the RADA that if peace talks do not begin soon Ukraine will not survive the summer. Looks like it is a crime to tell the truth in Ukraine. - sonar21

  2060. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian units of the Vostok Group of Forces liberated two villages at once in their task area, Skudnoye and Burlatskoye in South of Donetsk were captured as a result of active offensive actions with both tanks and drones, clearing the villages north and northwest of Velyka Novosilka from Ukrainian troops. This was announced by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 1, 2025, showing scenes of the liberation of the villages by the Vostok Group of the 5th Armored Brigade and the Assault Detachment of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division, continuing their advance deep into the Ukrainian defenses. The Vostok Group supporting the assault troops, this time tanks and drones attacked strong points, firing points and places where the manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was concentrated. During the offensive, since yesterday the crew of the T-80BV tank fired ammunition with precise fire, destroying a camouflaged NATO-made ammunition depot, the Defense Ministry reported. The Ukrainian personnel working in the site were also killed by a powerful explosion of ammunition while reducing enemy supplies. In addition to tanks, drone operators from the 36th Army special forces, part of the Vostok Group, flying their FPV drones, weakened Ukrainian positions in this critical sector, allowing Russian assault groups to advance in Skudnoye, and to a depth of 350 meters in Burlatskoye. The impact of the strikes was documented, with Russian FPV hitting several Ukrainian positions in houses, destroying them. Other drones did not allow Ukrainian units to gain a foothold outside their bases, quickly pursuing and clearing them as shown in the Defense Ministry footage. At a separate position, drone operators discovered a German Leopard tank, and an FPV arrived there to reduce the number of Leopards. The capture of these villages strengthened Russian territorial gains and improved the logistics routes for further operations. The next goal was to advance to the settlement of Komar, taking advantage of the difficult situation in Ukrainian services amid ongoing fighting in the surrounding area. A Russian source reported that the Russian Armed Forces liberated two villages and eliminated up to 1,015 Ukrainian soldiers on the last day of the fighting. Meanwhile last Sunday, according to former Pentagon chief adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor informed that the Ukrainian forces has suffered more than one million casualties. He further explained that around 1.2 to 1.5 million soldiers died in vain!

  2061. The West just can’t handle the truth — i.e., Vladimir Putin enjoys great popularity and easily won re-election. The whining and carping from Western political leaders filled the legacy media as they insisted Russia held a sham, illegal election. Boo hoo. After the debacle in 2020 and the subsequent imprisonment of hundreds of Trump supporters with unfounded charges of insurrection, the United States is in no position to lecture any other country about free and fair elections. It is hypocrisy on steroids. Prior to the election, Western pollsters learned, much to their surprise, that Putin held an 86% favorability rating. Almost eight out of ten eligible Russians voted in the Presidential election and gave Putin 87% of the vote. The Russian police and military were not roaming the cities and towns forcing people to the polls nor are Russians who do not vote threatened with economic or criminal sanctions. Even the voters in the war-torn republics of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporhyzhia turned out in force to vote. One of the most remarkable moments in the aftermath of the election was Vladimir Putin appearing in Red Square with the three opposition political candidates who ran against him. All four men spoke to the crowd and pledged their allegiance to Mother Russia. Turning to the war in Gaza for a moment, the Electronic Intifada posted an update on how and where Israeli Occupation Forces killed their own citizens on 7 October. YouTube did not censor this video because it is fact based and relies on the testimony of Israeli civilians. - Sonar21

  2076. Foreign mercenaries fighting for Kiev should be aware that they do not have the same legal protections under international law as regular Ukrainian combatants, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a visit to the Kursk Region. Speaking at a meeting with the Russian General Staff and military commanders on Wednesday, the president stated that any Ukrainian soldier or foreign mercenary captured on Russian soil can be “treated as a terrorist under Russian law.” “All people who commit crimes against the civilian population on the territory of the Kursk Region, confront our Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and special services, are terrorists in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation,” Putin said. “This is how the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee qualify their actions.” Putin emphasized that Russia “treats and will treat all people humanely,” including prisoners of war (POWs), but specifically warned that mercenaries lack the same legal status as regular troops. “I still want to remind you that foreign mercenaries are not protected by the 1949 Geneva Convention on POWs,” the Russian leader said. The Russian border region faced a major incursion by Kiev’s forces in August 2024, and Moscow’s troops have been gradually pushing them back in an operation that has intensified in recent weeks. In liberated areas, Russian investigators have found evidence of Ukrainian troops committing rape, torture, and murder against local civilians during the occupation. - RT

  2084. NATO should never have been formed in the first place because it was always a war-making organization serving U.S.-led Western imperialism. The organization is inherently for war-making. By definition, it has a terroristic purpose, to incite war, to justify war, and to never stop promoting war because Western imperialism can never co-exist with peaceful relations between nations. NATO has been sold to the Western public and the rest of the world as some kind of international security agency. The same deception has been used by American militarism and all other Western imperialist adventures. How Orwellian can you get? Peace means war, security means chaos and threats, and rules-based order means domination and exploitation. Imagine believing that millions of people were annihilated in U.S.-led wars for democracy and freedom! That is not dystopian fantasy. It actually happened and continues to happen, from Korea to Vietnam, from former Yugoslavia to Iraq, from Ukraine to Gaza, and many more horrors besides. However, the proxy war in Ukraine has crossed a fateful Rubicon. The world can finally see that the NATO axis is a glaring fraud that is endangering international peace with its relentless aggression and toxic lies. It’s not just about Russia. Any nation that decides to stand up to Western desired hegemony is liable to find itself in the crosshairs of a U.S.-led attack using NATO as a legal cover for an international coalition. That historic defeat of Western imperialism is at an epochal endpoint. American-led capitalism is bankrupt and irredeemable. That makes the NATO war machine a very dangerous unstable “multiplier” of American militarism. Will it risk a desperate final world war or will the abominable Western system be overhauled safely by the majority of people who abhor it? NATO’s sell-by date is well and truly past. Russia put paid to that. It remains up to the people of the Western nations to salvage something more constructive and democratic from the smoking hulk. - LewRockwell

  2118. The Russian Defense Ministry on Monday shared footage of a TOS-1A multiple rocket launcher striking Ukrainian positions. The battlefield video was taken near Soledar, a Donetsk People’s Republic town located to the northeast of the city Artyomovsk (known in Ukraine as Bakhmut). The system, widely known by the nickname ‘Solntsepyok’ – ‘Scorching Sunlight’, is seen firing multiple projectiles at night. The strike was observed by a surveillance UAV fitted with an infrared camera. The massive 220-mm thermobaric weapon is seen leaving large glowing spots on the ground after hits, footage shows. While the system is effectively a short-range multiple rocket launcher mounted on a tank chassis, TOS-1As are classified in Russia as “heavy flamethrowers.” In its most recent daily briefing, the Defense Ministry claimed that Ukraine lost an estimated 1,800 soldiers lost over the past 24 hours. It also reported the destruction of various pieces of hardware used by Kiev’s forces, including multiple artillery pieces, both Western-supplied and older Soviet-era systems. The most intense combat continued near Artyomovsk, as well as in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, with an estimated 535 and 300 casualties inflicted on Ukrainian troops in the two areas, respectively, according to the briefing. Russian forces recently crossed the border at multiple locations into Kharkov Region. The offensive comes as part of the effort to push Ukrainian forces further away from Russian territory and thus stop the indiscriminate artillery and drone strikes on border settlements, including the city of Belgorod. The Ukrainian strikes, which the Russian Defense Ministry says primarily target civilian infrastructure and residential areas, have inflicted considerable material damage and resulted in dozens of civilian deaths. - RT

Congresswoman Greene blasts "insane", dementia-ridden Biden for escalation that could lead to "direct war with Russia".

That doesn’t make NATO allies party to conflict - Stolty insists. He’s really desperate to make nothingburger out of potentially-devastating escalation - how can you give Zelensky permission to target pre-war Russia with YOUR missiles and have audacity to claim you're "nOt PaRtY tO cOnFlIcT"? - Intel Republic "PUTIN HAS BEEN THREATENING UKRAINE ALLIES SINCE BEFORE 24 FEB 2022" - NATO Chief StOOltenberg is a master at convoluting basic information. Putin has been threatening NATO allies since the very beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the day before February 24 he gave a speech in which he threatened any ally supporting Ukraine, but we did not listen to him, if we were restrained by this message, then we could not provide no support – Stoltenberg says. On the day of the beginning of the Special Operation (24.02.22), for Putin it was imperative to formalize his objectives in a speech. Those objectives were to 1) Defend Donbass 2) Demilitarize Ukraine & 3) Denazify Ukraine. He warned external powers that all possible scenarios have been calculated and responses to them pre-determined, should anyone choose to interfere with the accomplishment of given objectives. That is not the same as "threatening NATO allies." - Intel Republic

  2144. The Hidden Danger Beside Trump: Why Peter Thiel is the Real Threat Trump tried to calm the waters, announcing that Nikki Haley and Mike “Kansas” Pompeo wouldn’t be returning to his team. Smart move, Haley and Kansas, with their cheerleading forever wars and regime change, warmongers and globalist puppets, embody the very swamp Trump claims to drain. But here’s the twist: sitting right beside Trump, grinning like the Cheshire cat, is Peter Thiel, a figure far more insidious than Haley or Pompeo ever were. Thiel isn’t just another billionaire with influence; he’s a Zionist hawk cloaked in Silicon Valley’s libertarian veneer. For years, his empire, particularly Palantir, has been at the forefront of merging Silicon Valley's tech prowess with the national security state, feeding both U.S. and Israeli intelligence networks with data-mining capabilities that would make Orwell blush. This isn't a recent development either, Palantir was designed from its inception as a tool to empower state surveillance, a vision that has seamlessly aligned with the Zionist agenda. In Israel, Thiel’s technology has been used to surveil Palestinian populations, enforcing a brutal occupation under the guise of “security.” And Thiel’s influence doesn’t stop there. He has deep roots in the U.S. military-industrial complex, aligning closely with the CIA through his early investment from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm. From the beginning, Palantir was woven into the fabric of America’s intelligence infrastructure, sold as a “defense” tool, while it quietly expanded a surveillance apparatus across the world, from the Occupied Territories to inner cities in the United States. The Zionist vision of control and surveillance has found its ultimate tool in Thiel’s empire - a Trojan horse that’s eroding civil liberties under the radar. Then there’s the paradox - Thiel, publicly a critic of “wokeism,” has quietly funneled money into (woke) initiatives that stir cultural war within the U.S. It’s an ancient imperial strategy: keep the masses distracted with ideological battles while the real agenda, bolstering Israel’s interests and consolidating a digital surveillance state marches on unopposed. By funding divisive causes and watching America tear itself apart, Thiel isn’t just hedging his bets, he’s ensuring that the spotlight never falls on his own agenda. For Trump to truly align with the idea of American sovereignty, distancing himself from Thiel isn’t a suggestion but a necessity. Thiel doesn’t represent a populist, patriotic agenda; he represents the apex of corporate, Zionist interests, a technocratic elite intent on tightening its grip over policy and control. If Haley and Pompeo were symbols of the neoconservative swamp, Thiel is the lurking shadow, the hidden hand of a corporate-Zionist cabal with a vested interest in manipulating America’s course. Trump, this is much more than merely draining the swamp, it’s about draining the Zionist infiltration embedded within Silicon Valley and the intelligence community. The art of the deal this time around means ensuring the U.S. doesn’t remain a puppet of Silicon Valley’s Zionist ambitions. If you’re serious about reclaiming sovereignty, you’ll keep Thiel at arm’s length, not in the seat beside you. - Gerry Nolan - TheIslanderNews - Intel Republic

  2146. The French president insisted on further assistance to the government of Vladimir Zelensky, claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not stop if he is allowed to defeat Ukraine. When asked to comment on Macron’s statements by journalists on Thursday, Lavrov mentioned Hitler and Napoleon, describing them as the French president’s “predecessors, who also wanted to fight Russia.” The two European dictators sent their armies into Russia in 1812 and 1941, respectively, but ended up suffering crushing defeats. The difference is that Hitler and Napoleon “said directly: ‘We must conquer Russia, we must defeat Russia.’ And he [Macron], apparently, wants the same thing, but for some reason says that we must fight Russia so that it does not defeat France; that Russia is creating a threat to France and Europe,” he stressed. The minister refuted the French leader’s claims that Moscow has plans to attack Western Europe, calling such notions “unreasonable.” “President [Vladimir] Putin has said many times that this is absolute nonsense. I think that any sane person would understand that [by launching its military operation] Russia only wants to eliminate the root causes of the situation created by the West in Ukraine,” he explained. Lavrov also said that Moscow views Macron’s statement about widening France’s nuclear umbrella as a “threat towards Russia.” “If he considers us a threat, if he is calls a meeting of the chiefs of staff of the [Western] European countries and Britain; if he says that it is necessary to use nuclear weapons; if he prepares to use nuclear weapons against Russia – this is, of course, a threat,” he insisted. Earlier in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the French president’s speech as “highly confrontational,” saying that it has shown that France does not want peace, but “is thinking more about war, about the continuation of the conflict.” - RT

  2153. The fact is, it’s only in Ukraine where cemeteries have been growing so large that they’ve run out of space for the dead, forced to unearth old plots by the thousands. It’s only in Ukraine that you even see gigantic cemeteries that are visibly growing from space satellite imagery—there’s nothing of the comparable sort in Russia. It’s only in Ukraine that there’s daily critical discussions about lack of fighting men, where people are being kidnapped from the streets, women are increasingly in talks of being drafted, etc. Why don’t you see that in Russia if losses are so high? They claim it’s because: “Russia has 5x the population!” But Ukrainians also claim they’re inflicting 5-10x the losses on Russia! Doesn’t that negate the population advantage? Shouldn’t Russia also be reeling in the way Ukraine is? The head of Ukrainian GUR Vadim Skibitsky himself publicly stated months ago that Russian brigades are at 95% staffing levels—how is that possible if the country is experiencing such levels of losses as these people claim? Every single data point we have points to Ukraine suffering untold losses, not Russia. Don’t forget the most damning of all: the POW disparity, that is at minimum a proven 5:1 in Russia’s favor, with recent revelations Ukraine had ~1300 Russians in captivity to the ~6500 Ukrainians captured by Russia. Historical war literature tells us that artillery accounts for around 75% of all casualties, and Russia has enjoyed upwards of a 10:1 artillery advantage for the duration of the conflict. That’s right, the CIA Radio Liberty project just released a damning new report that finds all European artillery ammunition estimates were grossly exaggerated. Are you surprised? It’s clear there is no possible framework by which to argue that Ukraine has less casualties than Russia. Ukraine takes out the odd one-man motorcycle rider here, a random shambling infantryman there, with lone FPV strikes. Meanwhile, Russia is not only dishing out 5:1 or 10:1 artillery barrage disparities, but even more devastating long range missile strikes, most of which go unreported and unglamorized because there are simply so many. The point is that, these are daily, almost mundane, strikes by Russian long range assets which are wiping out anything from dozens to hundreds of troops at a time. - Simplicius

  2160. Things have gone from bad to worse for Ukraine. Zelensky is again traveling the globe in an attempt to form some type of international consensus for ending the conflict. After half a year of deliberately obfuscating propaganda about Russia “desperately” chasing a ceasefire, it has emerged clearer than ever that it is in fact Ukraine desperate to browbeat allies into forcing Russia into an armistice. In reality, Russia has now signaled more strongly than ever that there is nothing to negotiate about presently. Ukrainian ex-general Sergei Krivonos again stunned many with his unfiltered appraisal of the situation. “Only a miracle can save Ukraine at this point.” Another pro-UA commentator claims to have recently returned from the front reports the war is effectively over: The echoes of Ugledar’s fall continue to haunt the AFU in more ways than one. The debacle of the 72nd Brigade’s collapse is only just now being pieced together and understood in full, with articles like the following clarifying the suicide of one of the battalion commanders: Meanwhile, videos have begun to appear of family members’ pleas toward their missing servicemen. Here a daughter of a soldier from Ukraine’s 152nd says hundreds are missing in the Pokrovsk direction: Russian Army Begins Breakthrough on Kursk Front: Powerful Assault on Lyubimovka and Attack on Zeleny Shlyakh to Cut Off Ukrainian Armed Forces Group Today our armored groups unexpectedly attacked and broke through the enemy's defenses in the Kursk border area. About 30 units of Russian equipment are storming the village of Lyubimovka, wrote media officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Alex".

  2183. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Group after group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a state of low morale, began to surrender en masse, even Russian troops began to take them prisoner en masse following the collapse of the Kursk front. Videos began to go viral on the internet on March 10, 2025, showing a new wave of Ukrainian invading troops and foreign mercenaries, surrendering en masse in the last two days, realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly hopeless, and they preferred to become Russian prisoners of war rather than cannon fodder for Zelensky. The Kursk front changed at lightning speed, showing the results of the work of the Russian Armed Forces by liberating several settlements in the sector, turning into a massive defeat for Ukraine with heavy losses in human resources and equipment. Since the start of hostilities in Kursk, 66,270 soldiers have been killed, according to the Russian Defense Ministry as of March 10. Now, the Ukrainian front in the northern sector has been surrounded, which has determined the fate of more than 1,500 soldiers including foreign mercenaries! Another group of prisoners voluntarily surrendered to Russian troops from Ivashkovsky, located north of Sudzha which was liberated by the 30th Regiment. A group of 8 Ukrainian soldiers who had just arrived in Kursk, guided by a Russian reconnaissance drone, were then taken to the Russian detention zone for interrogation. The commander demanded one thing - to "survive", but to no avail. Most of the prisoners of war said that they had not communicated with their wives and children for a year, because the Kiev regime forbade and confiscated their mobile phones. Meanwhile, the infographic shows the Russian military inspecting the destroyed positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Nikolaevka and Staraya Sorochina, where about a dozen Ukrainian soldiers were found dead, as shown in a video released by the Russian military correspondent on March 10. Swastikas, runes, Nazi and pagan slogans in Ukrainians and English, all of this was found in the homes of civilians in the settlements liberated from Ukraine. Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries set up firing positions there, the Russian military reported. In addition, a captured Ukrainian prisoner thanked the Russian servicemen for "not finishing him off." He came to the front line from the prison where he spent 22 years, and began to tell everything!

  2190. The year 2024 was a pivotal and exceptional one for Russia’s cooperation with the countries of the Middle East. The beginning of the year was marked by a significant event: four countries from the region – Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia – were included in the BRICS group, underscoring the strategic importance of their participation in global processes and opening new horizons for multilateral engagement. Soon after, these same countries participated in the historic BRICS summit, held in Russia’s Islamic capital, Kazan. This event served as a vivid confirmation of the strengthening ties between Russia and the Middle Eastern states, as well as their shared commitment to expanding mutually beneficial cooperation. The interest of the region’s countries in Russia, both in bilateral and multilateral formats, only grew stronger. The frequency of official delegations visiting the Middle East from Russia, as well as representatives from Middle Eastern countries visiting Russia, became so high that it is almost unnecessary to count them – they have become an integral part of the diplomatic and economic life of both regions. Despite the pressure from Western countries and the policy of sanctions, Middle Eastern states have continued to expand their cooperation with Russia, particularly in the areas of trade, economy, and military-political affairs. This reflects the deep trust and strategic partnership that continues to develop. One of the most significant events in economic cooperation was the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), with the Sultanate of Oman being the main guest. In addition to Oman, numerous high-profile delegations from Middle Eastern countries were represented at the forum, highlighting their interest in strengthening ties with Russia and developing new joint projects. The SPIEF served as a platform for discussing and concluding important agreements, as well as establishing new business contacts. Thus, 2025 is likely to be a year of continued success for Russia’s diplomatic strategy in the Middle East and North Africa. The strengthening of mutual ties and political maturity will serve as the foundation for ensuring regional stability and prosperity, as well as for shaping a multipolar world order. - RT

Between Kurakhovo and Trudove, there are several another settlements where Ukrainian troops who claimed to have stood firm there are now starting to fall into a new cauldron! Ukrainian troops would most likely have avoided this difficult situation if they had carried out a large-scale withdrawal. It seems that Russian troops are continuing to deploy their offensive capabilities to form a depression in the direction of Donetsk, breaking through Ukrainian defenses near Trudove. The BMP squad of the 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade with armored forces maneuvered, landing in an area between the west of the settlement and 3.5 km south of Kostiantynopolske. Here, the fighting takes place in the forest belt where the assault units take and consolidate in the tree line, capturing several positions. The Russian forces are again outmaneuvering and cutting off supplies to the Ukrainian units in a worsening operational crisis, with less than 4 kilometers left to reach the Kostiantynopolske point with the advance very fast and getting tighter every day. At the same time, Zelensky's defenders from the 79th Brigade, who claim to have held out for more than two years in Kurakhovo, appear to be short of equipment to stop the Russians, and are seeking donations. They are in need of Mavic 3T drones with thermal cameras, a vital support to help them get spies at night, and to bolster their defenses, which are under threat in the Kurakhovo circle.

  2216. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Important update until January 24, 2025, reportly that the final phase of the battle for Velyka Novosilka has begun after Russian forces split the city center in two, leaving the remaining Ukrainian troops in a nightmare because of not giving up! Ukrainian channels have begun writing that the situation is critical, with troops at risk of being completely encircled by Russian forces. According to them, very heavy fighting is currently underway and the situation can develop "in any direction". Velyka Novosilka is a strategic defense and logistics center for Ukrainian forces, located at the southern junction of Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions. Here, the 110th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine says they are surrounded including many foreign mercenaries. They have not received orders to evacuate amidst a physical encirclement or massive fire control on escape routes. Russian assault units continue to drive Ukrainian troops out of Velyka Novosilka with heavy attacks. Meanwhile, warplanes, drones, and artillery such as BM-21 Grad MLRS are working on the ground, supporting assault units from the Vostok Group and the Marines. FPV drone operators attacked the enemy’s command post and UAV center, and also thwarted the Ukrainian troops attempt to escape across the river. A fortified building with a firing position on its roof was targeted during the operation. The commander of the assault group approached the building stealthily and eliminated the Ukrainian crew by RPG-7V. Under cover fire, the soldiers placed anti-tank mines inside the building, eliminating about ten Ukrainian defenders. Now, there is no way back for the Ukrainian troops as they refuse to surrender as per the Russian military directive a few days ago. It is reported that the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, here is rapidly deteriorating, not only by the day but by the hour. A clip shows a former member of the 110th Regiment who was injured and left in a house. The inability of the Ukrainian command to make tough decisions is clearly visible here, and this will cost many soldiers their lives. At the same time, the Vostok Group and the Marines will soon begin the cleanup and continue! Drone footage shows the Russian assault on the city center, and soldiers of the 5th Guards Tank Brigade plant their flag on the city council. The southern part of the city is still trapped and Ukrainian forces still control 50% of the central and northern parts. But this will change soon!

  2224. It is no secret that the West is hellbent to destroy President Putin, to force a Western friendly regime-change, so that finally after how many failed attempts (?) the West can take over this vast Russia, largest country in the world, by far the richest in natural resources which the West covets. Killing Aleksei A. Navalny, a lawyer and President Putin’s strongest adversary, would not be beyond Western secret services, just to strike at Vladimir Putin. Mr. Navalny’s death was announced on Friday, 16 February 2024. He was 47. Nothing could stop the West, especially not during the come hell-or-high-water implementation of Agenda 2030, alias the Great Reset. If the “MUST SUCCEED NOW” comes to a breaking point, no lives are spared. No lives are sacred. Why would President Putin kill his adversary, who is safely locked away in a prison in Siberia, almost 2,000 km north of the Kremlin? Makes no sense. Makes even less sense to have this presumed “murder” committed on the very day, when the Munich Security Conference (MSC, Febr 16-18, 2024) opened its doors to a plethora of “the rich and famous” —politicians with names, famous or infamous, like Antony Blinken, current US Secretary of State; Hillary Clinton, current Chancellor of Queen’s University of Belfast (remember, “We came, we saw, he died” about Mohammed Khadafi, see video below); John Kerry, the “Climate Czar”, Joe Biden’s Special Envoy on Climate, and many more. Absurdity abounds. During comments on reports of Navalny’s death, President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass a US$95 billion aid package that includes a new infusion of money to help Ukraine in its war against Russia. See this. The MSC was the perfect occasion to lambast President Putin, to denigrate him, to call him names, including “murderer”. It looks like Navalny’s death was perfectly planned, so perfectly, it sounds and looks almost naïve to believe that President Putin would choose such a moment in time – the Munich Security Conference MSC – to get rid of his opposition leader. Anybody who saw Tucker Carlson’s interview with President Putin knows that Putin’s level of intellect and diplomacy is way beyond murdering an adversary. Despite being the heaviest sanctioned man and country – Russia – in the world, President Putin did not say one negative or “bad” word against any of his Western antagonists and aggressors. It is therefore highly unlikely that Mr. Navalny’s death was a Kremlin inside job. Just think, cui bono – who benefits? - LewRockwell

  2263. The US and NATO allies are hard at work at re-envisioning their own battlefield priorities in light of the revolution being witnessed in the Ukrainian war. They start off with the one major admission—that the Western edge has not only been eroded, but rapidly so: we’ve long discussed here apropos the differences between Western and Russian military systems. Couching it in self-serving terms of seeking ultimate ‘protection’ for troops, they admit that Western systems have gotten so expensive that their operators are afraid to even use them—defeating the whole point of warfighting equipment: Western minds have taken a long time to come to conclusions drawn by Russia ages ago, which expounded on precisely this disparity in the warfighting principles between Russia and the West: the tune has now changed on ‘premium’ weaponry. In short: they argue that Western artillery shells are over-engineered and should be stripped of their tedious quality control measures to favor ‘quantity’ over ‘quality’ instead. Interesting proposition! They add that, in essence, Western military engineering is made for peacetime conditions—in real war conditions, a totally new rough-and-tumble ethos must be adopted. Russia had already long learned the lesson having been habituated to real existential Total Wars on its territory, rather than the predatory wars of opportunity the West is accustomed to waging. The fact is, the West tailor-made their modern showroom armies for specifically fighting localized, controlled conflicts against very limited Middle Eastern opponents. You can sense the desperation in the West as the realities begin to dawn on their leading thinkers. Years of building showroom ‘good-weather’ armies meant to impress buyers at MIC-enabled arms expos have left Western military doctrines woefully out of date concerning how real wars are fought. Put another way, precision ammunition machining doesn’t make much difference when the shell goes up an overused gun barrel that, in peacetime, would have long been consigned to the scrapheap thousands of shells ago. - Simplicius

  2268. The AFU troops in Avdeevka speak of vast Russian firepower superiority and the constant ability to rotate fresh troops. It may wield a cudgel rather than the hoped-for scalpel here, but Russia simply has far too many resources and fresh troops and they are inexorably inching forward. Russia continues to badly degrade Ukraine’s air defense. An Iris-T was recently hit as well as a slew of Osas, Strelas and Buks. The air defense situation is getting critical for Ukraine, with even airforce spokesman Yuri Ignat reportedly claiming their ammo could begin to run dry within the next couple weeks. I already highlighted last time how their latest report showed 0% interception rate for most Russian missiles in the last strike. Russia senses Ukraine’s AD has been attritioned to such a point that small scale air assault landings could actually stand a chance of being carried out. This can be used in critical areas to land a company behind the lines in coordination with an offensive assault on a highly entrenched sector—like Ugledar, Avdeevka, and places of this nature. The air assaults would bypass all the minefields hampering advances today, instantly nullifying one of the top three major issues. This is one of those ‘dynamic’ elements that has been largely missing thus far. Nothing has been going well for Ukraine on the international front. The entire leadership is currently attending Davos, and it’s already being called a ‘bust’ with no real answers for Zelensky. There have only been some ‘symbolic’ photo-ops with the world’s shadow elite. And the situation at home continues to worsen. The Verkhovna Rada is still hung up on the mobilization, with an increasing number of elites openly denouncing Zelensky. Ex-Rada Deputy and Aidar deputy commander Mosiychuk has had enough of the corruption and goes for the jugular in outright telling Zelensky and his team to “shoot [themselves]”: The US and NATO in the meantime continue to suffer humiliations. The British minesweeper HMS Chiddingfold collided with the HMS Bangor in Bahrain: While an F-35 was destroyed by an incompetent mechanic: Russian ballistic missiles struck a NATO mercenary base in Kharkov, reportedly killing up to 60 French mercenaries: The massive US base at Ain al-Assad in Iraq underwent a large attack from Iranian-backed forces. Once more we saw the total failure of the Patriot missile systems, which were seen shooting in number to the sky: This is the US’s second largest base in Iraq, well protected with all the most advanced air defense networks—and they could not stop a minor rocket attack. Yet we’re supposed to believe that downgraded and older versions of Patriots (Pac-2s, etc.) in Ukraine are stopping Russian hypersonic Kinzhals with 100% ratios? The propaganda is just exposing itself. - Simplicius

  2270. From Putin International Press Conference. The president said he would have warned himself against “excessive naivety and credulity in relations with our so-called partners,” apparently referring to the West. Concerning the advice he would have given himself, Putin said: “One must believe in the great Russian people. This faith is the key to the success of Russia’s revival and development.” “If there is no national currency, you can’t print anything, there is only one way – reducing budget spending for the social sphere, a severe cutting of wages, pensions, expenses on medicine, on roads and domestic security,” Discussing the “rules-based order” promoted by the US and its allies, Putin claimed that “those rules are non-existent because they change on a daily basis... depending on the interests of some of the stakeholders.” There are 617,000 troops involved in Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine and Russia's new regions spread along the almost 2,000-km-long frontline, according to Putin. “For now, there’s no need” for another wave of mobilization, especially considering that on average, 1,500 people volunteer to defend the country every day, he stressed. Those, who were among the 300,000 mobilized during the first wave in autumn 2022 are “fighting hard”; 14 have been named Heroes of Russia, the president said, referring to the highest honorary title in the country. The ongoing events in Gaza are a “catastrophe,” Putin said. “Look at [Russia’s] military operation in Ukraine and at what’s happening in Gaza, and see the difference.” The president said there was “no such level of destruction” in Ukraine compared to the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian enclave. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called Gaza “the largest ‘graveyard for children,’” Putin noted. “Such a characterization is telling,” he added. - RT

  2292. It's all about power and control for the Globalist West Warmongers, the loss in lives be damned! We're talking about the diabolic here guilty of unbounded war crimes to the extreme of shelling innocents, and for which they need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law with the commensurate penalty! While Ukraine achieved one quarterly strike with moderate damage against assets that don’t even have any bearing on the SMO, Russia in the same span of time has devastated the AFU’s actual military targets. Last night Kiev was struck a devastating blow with missiles and drones. After watching the heroism of Russian troops in Ukraine, you really think the US army would stand a chance? And this was before the army turned snowflake in the modern era—imagine how bad it is now. The extent of the Lying NATO Rot in Ukraine in unbounded, as the same number of Generals and enlistees reported killed by accidents occured right after Massive Russian Missile Strikes which was widely reported in recent news! Ukrainian terror drone attack near Moscow thwarted - Russian Defense Ministry. Drone destroyed by air defenses over Voskresensky district, Moscow, pre-war Russia. - Intel Report 6 Ukrainian soldiers killed aboard 2 Mi-8 helicopters (see pic) while "carrying out missions." Soldiers were flying near Kramatorsk, Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine), which is West of Artyomovsk (formerly Bakhmut), helicopters were "completely destroyed." - Intel Report Russian security forces eliminate Ukrainian saboteurs in Bryansk, pre-war Russia. 2 enemy saboteurs killed, 5 detained as they were planning terror attacks against Russian military and energy infrastructure. Kiev's terror group was made up of personnel from Ukrainian security forces, special forces, and intelligence personnel. - Intel Report

  2295. most Ukrainian officers and officials are no longer fighting for 2022 or 1991 borders, but rather for simple survival: Konstantinovka is the next big strategic center after Chasov Yar whose importance likely even eclipses that of Bakhmut, as Konstantinovka and its neighboring Druzhkovka have classically been the headquarters of the entire Ukrainian ATO/JFO since 2014: In the meantime, Russia continues its infrastructural strikes, with a large one occurring the night before last. Ukraine’s energy grid authority Ukrenergo admitted several key power plants were again hit, this time in the west of the country, and “extensively damaged”: A separate report claimed that “all major thermal power plants controlled by Ukraine have now been destroyed or severely damaged” and that “Hydroelectric generation plants are next to reduce the flexibility of Ukraine's grid. After which Ukraine will rely on 3 nuclear power plants and imports from EU countries.” And Russian forces continue to advance a good deal each day. The latest in Krasnogorovka, which is now almost fully enveloped in a cauldron: Isn’t it interesting how Ukrainian brigades all started at 5000-6000 men and are now mostly operating at 1000-2500 at most, while Russian brigades balloon from 2500 to 11k? And yet they tell us it’s Russia that’s taking the “unbearable losses”. A quite unexpectedly rare sight occurred at the parade. A medaled Russian formation comprised of real SMO veterans took part. Consider the significance: these are among the only truly living decorated soldiers in the world who can lay claim to having fought and survived a real war. No other country presently can march real live, active duty, decorated heroes who’ve tasted real combat of this sort: - Simplicius

  2302. [Much thanks for letting the world know who the real culprits are!] Yushchenko had initially lost the presidential election, but his supporters set up a tent city in central Kiev and blocked the government district. Foreign NGOs played a significant role in these events. The direct orchestrators of that color revolution included the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and its affiliates, the Soros Foundation, the International Republican Institute, the Eurasia Foundation, and several other foreign entities Ukrainian society was divided in two, and Yushchenko’s policy laid the groundwork for a significant political crisis and the eventual war. Before Viktor Yushchenko came to power, Ukrainian politicians tended to avoid drastic measures, and instead favored compromises to resolve conflicts. However, his rise to power shattered that tradition. Yushchenko sought to impose an agenda that was alien to millions of Ukrainian citizens. By the time of the 2010 presidential election, Ukraine was deeply divided on cultural, linguistic, and national issues. A ticking time bomb had been set into motion back in 2004 when Yushchenko’s team chose to support radical nationalists and neo-Nazis. This strategy granted him a tactical victory but ultimately led the country to a strategic defeat. While in office, Viktor Yushchenko failed to address pressing issues. Instead, his policies exacerbated societal divisions which grew more pronounced each year. A decade after his rise to power, yet another revolution only deepened these contradictions, steering Ukraine away from the promised European future toward territorial losses and civil war. - RT

  2313. Major General Smedley Darlington Butler was, at the time of his death in 1940, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. During his 34-year career, he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, and World War I. However, at some point after World War I, he began to have grave doubts about his profession. Over time, with study and reflection, he concluded that he had NOT spent his life fighting and killing for the American people, but for special interests in New York City and Washington. As he memorably stated it in his 1935 book, War is a Racket: Though war is indeed profitable for the financiers and industrialists who champion it, it is invariably a disaster for a free citizenry. As James Madison remarked in a 1795 pamphlet: Of all the evils to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops every other. War is the patent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes, are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people! No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. In the past 20 years, every major US foreign policy objective has failed. The Taliban returned to power after 20 years of US occupation of Afghanistan. Post-Saddam Iraq became dependent on Iran. Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad stayed in power despite a CIA effort to overthrow him. Libya fell into a protracted civil war after a US-led NATO mission overthrew Muammar Gaddafi. Ukraine was bludgeoned on the battlefield by Russia in 2023 after the US secretly scuttled a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. - Courageous Discourse

  2315. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Footage shows a group of Russian Paratroopers from the 106th Division, supported by five BMP infantry fighting vehicles, continuing to attack the remaining Ukrainian troops from the forest zone in Lyubimovka district of the Kursk region. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed on September 17, 2024, that fierce fighting was taking place on the outskirts of Lyubimovka near residential areas. Despite the annoying Ukrainian artillery fire from the 103rd Separate Territorial Defense Brigade, the Paratroopers' armored personnel carriers confidently continued to advance in an attempt to expand the control zone east of Lyubimovka in order to liberate Russian lands from the Kiev adventurers. The Russian reconnaissance unit used a UAV to locate the source of the Ukrainian fire, and transmitted the coordinates of the enemy's position. The BMP crew, in turn, quickly headed to their position, firing at them with a 30 mm automatic cannon, causing damage to the participating militants. The Russian paratroopers managed to sneak into the forest belt with armored vehicles, and recapture the house to house. The Ukrainian artillery fire continued to miss from the very beginning, this without any losses on the Russian side. The Ukrainian artillery situation then seemed to have eased, then the Paratroopers moved to another position after successfully establishing themselves in their new positions. At the same time, war correspondents also reported that the Russian Armed Forces confirmed the complete capture of the border village of Uspenovka by the Russian military offensive. Also, crossing the Snagost River and successfully capturing the village of Darino, which would threaten the Ukrainian supply point in Sverdlikovo. There is no need to rush in Kursk, those who lead Russia in this matter are quite skilled at it.

  2330. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian troops have taken control of the entire Grodovka on the Pokrovsk direction, which is a fairly large settlement in terms of area, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry reported on October 7, 2024. This section of the front in the Donetsk region is the area of responsibility of the "Center" Group of Forces, and due to their decisive actions, the offensive of the Kiev troops was repulsed even amidst the loud noise of Zelensky's "Victory Plan" together with Western partners. One by one, the territories fell into the hands of the Russian Armed Forces at a rapid pace, capturing the last part of Grodovka, key point between the Donetsk front towards Pokrovsk. During the day, the Russian assault forces advanced, capturing the last part of the Grodovka area still under Ukrainian control, and cleared it. They stormed the Ukrainian fortifications defended it with machine guns, firing at the Russians with heavy machine guns during fierce fighting. The Ukrainians also made ten counterattack attempts, which were defended by about two hundred soldiers remaining in the settlement, but all enemy attacks were repulsed. In a day, fighters of the Russian group inflicted damage on several enemy motorized infantry and paratrooper brigades, losses in manpower amounted to hundreds of soldiers killed and wounded. Russian fighters also destroyed various Ukrainian-NATO equipment, including the last armored vehicle in Grodovka, the American Bradley. The Center Group's drone recorded the movement of the vehicle, the first FPV drone made a devastating strike, after which the crew inside it abandoned their armored vehicle. The second hit the roof, and the third hit right inside the vehicle. The success of the fiery actions of the Russian military was noted not only in the Grodovka sector of the front, but also in almost all other sectors. While the Ukrainian-Western units were forced to take more advantageous positions at the moment. Therefore, the Russian command will try to take advantage of the opportunities presented before the autumn thaw restricts maneuver and the enemy comes to his senses. Generally, these prerequisites are strong enough to indicate that the Russian military is on the verge of a major breakthrough and attempts to launch a new offensive are underway, this month is expected to be hot!

  2368. [The lunatics in Israel and their backers won't be satisfied until they draw the whole world into a conflagration] There is a lot going on in the world that is generating fear in the West because they have lost control of the narrative and the battlefield. Ukraine’s retreat from Avdeevka has exposed the lie that the Russian military is a spent force comprised of coerced, untrained, poorly supplied conscripts. This has left NATO scrambling to try to find a way to keep Ukraine in the fight, but Ukraine’s Army is being ground into dust and its morale is flagging. But that is not where the real danger lies. Israel is signaling that it will invade southern Lebanon and fight Hezbollah. This is insane. Israel reminds me of the evil Queen in Snow White — they have convinced themselves that they are the best army in the Middle East. They gaze at their own reflection and fail to see how the world has changed. They are no longer the juggernaut that the imagine themselves to be. A poll published by right-wing Israeli newspaper Maariv has showed that 71% of Israelis believe that Israel should launch a large-scale military operation against Lebanon. Israel has been carrying out heavy air strikes on villages in southern Lebanon during the past week, but it has not weakened Hezbollah. To the contrary. Hezbollah is stepping up its own missile attacks on Israeli settlements. Saraya al-Qassam and company is hitting “Ashkelon” with massive barrages of projectiles, setting off the missile sirens and sending the Jewish settlers running for shelter! The average Israeli citizen does not understand that Hezbollah has a significant escalatory capability in terms of being able to launch big missiles into Israeli cities that previously have not been targeted. Hezbollah also has a trained army. It is not a group of rag tag terrorists. And Hezbollah has well-fortified defensive lines capable of stopping an Israeli attack. The bottomline is this — both Israel and Hezbollah appear to be stepping on the gas and moving towards a full-scale war. - Sonar21

  2379. Moscow did not start the war in 2022, but is trying to stop the war that Ukraine started in 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. Putin announced the military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, following eight years of Kiev’s suppression of the Donbass population. Russia would only engage in a military conflict with a NATO nation such as Poland or Latvia if it is attacked, Putin said. Any Western claims to the contrary are “just threat mongering.” Unlike the US, Russia is not afraid of the rise of China, Putin said, calling Carlson’s suggestion that BRICS risks being “completely dominated by the Chinese economy” a “boogeyman story.” If the US wants to stop the Ukraine conflict, it should stop sending arms to Kiev, Putin said, adding that if this happened, the hostilities would end within weeks. Putin went on to say it was “ridiculous and very sad” that Kiev listened to then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and refused to sign a draft truce with Russia that was agreed on during peace talks in 2022. The conflict continues on to this day, while Johnson himself is no longer in office, he noted. NATO promised that it would not expand its territory eastwards, but quickly broke this promise by bringing all of Eastern Europe and Baltic states into the fold, Putin said. The US-led military bloc now intends to drag Ukraine in, he added. Asked by Carlson who he believes blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia and Germany through the Baltic Sea, Putin replied: “You,” referring to the US and its allies. When pressed whether he has any proof of CIA or NATO involvement, the Russian leader said that in cases like this, one should first look for those who would benefit from the attacks, and who had the capability to carry them out.

  2383. The weekend’s standout story comes by way of Edward Luttwak, one of the so-called ‘premier military theorists’ in the West, openly calling for NATO intervention in Ukraine, lest the West suffer a “catastrophic defeat”: Luttwak has been an advisor for U.S. presidents and the U.S. military, as well as other world militaries. He’s also served in the IDF, which could explain his brazen machismo and lack of concern for morality or global safety. But more notable than the eye-catching quote that’s got everyone talking is Luttwak’s claim that NATO countries are already in the early stages of planning various types of contingents to be sent to Ukraine: Interestingly, he frames everything around the urgency of an imminent Chinese attack on Taiwan, which further adduces his poor analytical abilities. I had mentioned in the comments the other day that there are rumors Russia is preparing a campaign for this summer of utilizing Su-34s for the first time to launch mass UMPK glide-bomb attacks on the Odessa and Ochakov regions from the Black Sea. It’s an interesting rumor in light of these developments as it brings to question whether it’s Russia upping the ante after latest signals of NATO’s increasing salivation over Odessa—or vice versa, NATO is getting nervous for the very reason that they realize Russia is set to increase the pressure on Odessa. But what’s important to note, is that no one country wants to be left to take the brunt of the Bear’s retaliation alone; nor even two or three of them together. That means such an action would likely only occur if a coalition of scaredy-cats was formed, and the chances of that are not great. All combined, those countries could provide maybe 150-250k troops maximum, and that’s on the optimistic end. Meanwhile, Russia already has an entire fresh 500k man army raised by Shoigu waiting for them, which was created precisely to counter-act the new NATO threats, as I reported long ago. That’s not to mention hundreds of thousands of more reserves troops, including the conscript forces and national guard, that Russia could bring to bear if worse came to worse. But the real final buck-stopper is Russia’s true strategic missile defense system: the A-135, and A-235—also called Nudol. The A-135 is specifically designed to take out nuclear ICBMs, rather than being a jack-of-all-trades like the S-400/500 systems. But it is a final stopgap system as the A-135 missiles, which are called 53T6, themselves are nuclear. But they are neutron bombs instead of regular fission atomic bombs. They shoot up at a mind boggling acceleration of 0 to Mach ~10 (some sources, like Wiki, have it Mach 17, but I believe 10 is more realistic, as per Russian domestic sources) in only 3-4 seconds, pulling 200gs. Once they reach the altitude of over 80km where the incoming nuclear ICBM or MIRV’d warheads are approaching, the neutron bomb detonates which essentially causes the enemy’s nuclear RVs (re-entry vehicles) to go inert, by chemically defusing them: So, Russia has 68 nuclear-armed (neutron bomb) strategic interceptors, each of which can take out not only one ICBM, but dozens of MIRV’d warheads, if they have already been released. the West is unable to ignite the manufacturing prowess necessary to compete with Russia. a Russian soldier named Rodimir Maximov, introduced as a ‘Private’, was just awarded with state honors during an assault in the Novomikhailovka area. His commander was wounded at the very start of the assault, and Maximov immediately took over, issuing commands to the squad with total autonomy. Even more telling was that once he radioed HQ, they basically told him to hold down the fort and gave him leeway to act as he saw fit, even as the enemy launched multiple counter-attacks—there was no ‘Soviet-style’ one way marching orders as the dimwit Western military ‘experts’ would have you believe. The command gave him full autonomy for two full days, according to the story, as they coordinated reinforcements to come relieve the assault group which had taken the AFU fort. During the footage, you can clearly see the mere ‘private’ displaying clear signs of well-schooled leadership abilities, with no signs of any “drone-like” behavior: - Simplicius

  2402. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian troops managed to take another new settlement, Novodmitrovka, as its troops worked well, sucking out enemy forces with significant advances. The Russian Defense Ministry published videos on November 23, 2024, showing the breakthrough of the assault detachment by the "O Brave" unit of the Center Group of Forces, maneuvering under Ukrainian fire until the tricolor flag was raised there, north of Kurakhovo in Donetsk. The video shows basements and houses where Ukrainians were hiding, until the Russian flag was finally raised permanently there. The stormtroopers used a flanking maneuver to destroy the enemy in the tree line of the forest belt around Novodmitrovka. The brave soldiers, acting quickly under heavy artillery fire and Ukrainian attack drones, nevertheless made it through without any losses. Due to the coordination and courage in their work, the Center Group managed to clear the settlement and raise the victory flag. Towards Novodmitrovka, the zone of control of Russian troops has now been significantly expanded, penetrating Zarya and its environs, as well as Sontsovka, ensuring that most of Ukrainian group fled westward. Thus, Russian troops developed the offensive, penetrated as far as possible, and now control most of the semi-cauldron area southeast of Kurakhovo. The Russian stormtroopers also used other methods to quickly force Ukrainian troops to surrender. The troops worked very well, dropping leaflets with the help of drones and groups of Ukrainian armed personnel were taken to a safe place with the help of radios also dropped by drones. One Ukrainian soldier mistakenly thought that the drone were going to attack him, but in fact they were going to take him to a safe place and he was happy. Three soldiers from Ukrainian brigade with civilian appearance managed to lay down their arms amid the escalating situation between Russia and NATO, and considering their collapse in the city of Kurakhovo, it is getting worse!

  2408. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - A pile of wrecked American vehicles in the service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, turned into scrap metal after the defeat near Krasny Yar, which was liberated by the Russian Armed Forces, this released by the Russian military correspondent on October 23, 2024. Remember! About a week ago, Krasny Yar, located in one of the key regions of the Donetsk People's Republic, was officially taken under heavy fighting conditions and under heavy Ukrainian fire, but Russian soldiers managed to make a heroic breakthrough towards Pokrovsk, securing control over an important settlement! The 74th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Central Group of Forces completely cleared the settlement, and raised the Russian tricolor flag on the building of the House of Culture. After the clearing is complete, a convoy of American scrap metal still smoking from fires, was later found near an anti-tank ditch near the settlement. It seems that Russian troops destroyed a group of vulnerable vehicles, with one blow! The destroyed vehicles included one M113 APC, one Maxxpro MRAP, one Bradley IFV, and one M1117 Guardian armored personnel carrier were hit. Meanwhile its driver from the Nazi-affiliated Ukrainian forces, was killed defending it, cannon fodder was a casualty in the 24 hours while Zelensky presented his ridiculous “Victory Plan” according to military experts. In contrast, the Russian military showed that it continues to liberate land, destroying Western-backed troops and equipment. A few days ago not far from the same location, a Russian FPV drone headed towards another Bradley. As usual, the equipment burned perfectly.

  2412. Moscow has demanded that Ukraine surrender everyone in the country it suspects of terrorism, as well as immediately stop supporting any related activities, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday. The ministry said it had officially contacted Kiev with the demands under the UN-adopted International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. The demands include the “immediate arrest and extradition” of all the suspects which Moscow has identified and linked to the recent terrorist attack against Russia. The deadly attack on the Crocus City Hall, which “shocked the whole world is, by far, not the first terrorist attack endured by our country recently,” the ministry noted. ”The investigations carried out by the competent Russian bodies indicate that the traces of all these crimes lead to Ukraine,” it stressed. Apart from the concert hall attack, which left at least 144 people dead and more than 500 injured, the ministry cited such incidents as the assassination of the military blogger Maksim Fomin (best known by his pen name Vladlen Tatarsky), the deadly bombing of the Crimean Bridge, as well as recent cross-border raids into Belgorod Region and elsewhere which have been attributed by Kiev to the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK). The paramilitary unit, advertised as composed of Russians collaborating with Ukraine, has been designated as a terrorist entity by Moscow. - RT

  2415. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – By the fall of Vremivka almost without resistance, the group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in VelykaNovosilka found itself practically completely surrounded in a cauldron, where the Russian Armed Forces physically controlled all the main roads. Realizing that the drama of Kiev troops in VelykayaNovoselka south of Donetsk seemed to be coming to an end, Russian troops from the Vostok Group of Forces deployed Uragan MLRS, which was engaged in dropping leaflets on the positions of Ukrainian troops there for their immediate surrender, as shown in the footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry on January 17, 2025. Now, the evacuation corridor of Velyka Novosilka is less than 2.5 kilometers wide, with no main roads, only land left and the only way is to cross Mokri Yaly river for the Kievites to get out. The cauldron is boiling, where the siege of Velikaya Novoselka – now officially begins! Dropping leaflets on enemy positions, special leaflet projectiles are rocket ammunition containing rolls of leaflets. Uragan fired a volley of shots at each of them, urging Ukrainian soldiers to hand over their weapons and voluntarily surrender in order to save their lives before a complete encirclement. Now, it is reported that Russian troops are at the Vremika gate after the cleanup, just a few minutes away from the city center, while conducting a limited siege, and things will get complicated for Kiev's forces if they try to hold on. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have few options: retreat as far as possible, or defend and fight to the end. A few days ago, Ukrainian soldiers retreated from their positions in panic, even abandoning their NATO weapons in the bushes, fleeing without a fight simply because they did not want to face the Russian army. Russian soldiers from a reconnaissance unit as part of the Vostok Group of Forces, demonstrated the abandoned weapons near Velyka Novosilka as shown in footage by the Defense Ministry on January 15. Among the trophies were a Javelin portable ATGM, a Browning M2 large-caliber machine gun, a portable anti-tank grenade launcher, and ammunition.

  2504. Orban’s visit to Moscow set the European political seraglio aflame this week. The histrionic theatrics were on full performative display as the chorus of captured crones and cucks crowed in limp futility: For his part, Orban conveyed that Putin is a totally rational negotiator: But the prevailing narrative that’s now swept over the commentariat and MSM-propagand-o-sphere is that Russia is desperately pushing for an end to the conflict. Everywhere you look, Putin is characterized as virtually begging for a ceasefire. News release after news release revolves around Russia nudging toward a cessation of hostilities, with Putin’s various speeches and soundbites used to support this. But how true is it, really? I’m here to tell you unambiguously: it’s total misdirection. The AFU continues to experience massive problems on the front, with units increasingly openly screeching via public forums about how everything is collapsing around them. One report from Legitimny states that if destruction of the power grid continues, Ukraine will be placed into permanent 8-12-hour-per-day blackout for the next several years: A U.S. Marine general was found “dead”: Interestingly, according to reports he was just in Ukraine. Several days ago were reports of U.S. flights out of Poland—the typical ones that carry Western mercenaries out after Russian strikes. Coincidence? There has been a spate of Russian long-range strikes, including ones on deployment points—several of them on Odessa recently, for instance. There’s good chance this general was visited by Dr. Ken Zhal for his final checkup. If things weren’t bad enough for the U.S., another defense plant blew up, which reportedly is in the business of Javelin production, amongst other rockets: Commander of the Ukrainian 116th Brigade perished in the Kupyansk direction: I’ll leave you with this poignant last statement from Russian analyst Older Eddy: We will say one thing. The more power and its dogs drive the Ukrainian people to fight, the larger the collapse will be. At some point, the front will simply sprinkle, as 80% of the army will consist of those who do not want to fight, or tired, or disappointed. It's like building a house, but making concrete for walls and foundations according to the formula of 12 bags of sand for 1 bag of cement. For some time it will stand idle, and after that « will begin to fall asleep », and if there is a minimum « earthquake », it will simply collapse. So in the situation with the Zemobilization and the Armed Forces. This is a time bomb. - Simplicius

  2506. Update on the conflict in Ukraine for Sunday November 10, 2024… The Western media is citing the recent US presidential election as a turning point for the Ukraine conflict, with Kiev facing abandonment and defeat despite both having already long-since materialized; Various proposals are being discussed regarding the freezing or ending of the conflict, proposals that were being developed independently of US elections; Meanwhile, Western reports indicate Russian military power continuing to grow while Ukrainian arms, ammunition, and trained manpower continue to dwindle as Ukraine’s loss of territory accelerates; While many see President-elect Donald Trump as seeking to undo harmful US foreign policy enacted by the previous administration, in his previous term he himself helped advance the US proxy war with Russia by both arming Ukraine and withdrawing from arms control treaties allowing the US to station more dangerous long-range weapons in Europe pointed at Russia; The incoming Trump administration, like those before it, view Ukraine, Israel, and “Taiwan” as US allies and are simply reprioritizing the flow of US resources to the latter two as Ukraine’s irreversible defeat unfolds; US political candidates incapable of openly and clearly identifying US foreign policy as aggressive, illegal, unacceptable, and at the center of the many global conflicts it has created including in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region, are simply selling American voters “hope” with no real intention of changing anything; - The New Atlas

  2524. Thanks to an Israeli drone operator and his idiot commander, we may have reached a tipping point in Israel’s attempt to exterminate the Palestinians. Countries previously mum on the wanton killing of Palestinian civilians are now voicing outrage over a senseless, deliberate killing — e.g. Australia, the United Kingdom and even that soy boy from Canada, Trudeau. When the drone feed identifies a target the images are displayed on large TV monitors mounted at the front of the room. The decision to follow and attack this convoy was ordered by officers. This was not just the decision of one rogue drone operator. That operator had to request permission to “engage” the target. There was a chain of command in place giving orders to follow and FIRE!! As I and many others have pointed out, the faux mea culpa of Israel rings quite hollow because this kind of criminal behavior has been a Standard Operating Procedure of Israel since the start of hostilities on October 7. Israel’s deliberate targeting of aid workers, journalists, and doctors is well documented. By way of comparison, if you are a journalist, aid worker or healthcare provider you are safer in Ukraine than in Gaza and the West Bank. In Gaza, Israel is killing almost 20 journalists a month. In Ukraine it is almost two per year. I do not think Netanyahu can spin his way out of this. It was not a mistake. These workers were deliberately targeted, hunted down and murdered. And this was done by an Israeli military unit under the direct control of senior officers. - Sonar21

  2527. CAN NATO SURVIVE A LOSS IN UKRAINE? Killing off a bureaucracy — whether civilian or military — is nigh impossible. But the impending defeat of Ukraine on the battlefield by Russia presents one of those watershed moments in history where the raison d’etre of NATO will be exposed as a fraud. Much has been made in recent months about NATO’s supposed growing strength by citing the addition of Sweden and Finland as new NATO members. But this is illusory. In other words, Sweden and Finland could provide a total of 10 brigades (assuming their current active duty personnel are activated and fully deployed under NATO’s command). This is a “nothing burger.” The once mighty British Army and Navy have been transformed from a lion into a toothless, nasty chihuahua. NATO’s problems go beyond its inadequate military resources. The very political consensus binding NATO together is coming apart. The recent verbal sniping between the French and the Germans over whether to commit NATO troops to Ukraine is emblematic of a much deeper rift. NATO is a mess, yet Western leaders and NATO commanders continue to indulge the fantasy that they are ready and capable of carrying out a combined arms military conflict with Russia. They are not. Russia sent a deadly reminder of this fact in the form of an Iskander missile that hit a site in Odessa filled with French, Poles and Georgians. U.K. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps cancelled a planned visit to Odessa in the wake of this strike. - Sonar21

  2543. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The Syrian army began launching Tochka missiles, and the consequences of its "arrival" in one of the headquarters and operations of the Al Aqeeda affiliated organization "Jabhat al-Nusra" in Idlib, with devastating results. The scenes published on December 1, 2024 by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) showed that they began using various heavy weapons not only the M-600 'Tishreen' tactical ballistic missiles, but in particular now for the first time deploying the OTR-21 Tochka-U tactical missile, which can carry a 420kg warhead. In just a matter of days, the front line reached a dangerous level for the militia units, they entering Syria suddenly but miscalculated. This version has a range of 120 km and high accuracy, fired by the Syrian Army with targeted attacks on several militia command rooms, supported by Turkey and the West. The scene in the city of Idlib from the footage of the militia, shows the consequences of the Soviet Tochka missile hit, reaching a very severe level of damage to enemy targets. One of the gathering points of the terrorist militias "Jabhat al-Nusra", or the command headquarters of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as reported by other sources, was covered in dust and thick smoke, destroying several vehicles in the area around the militia leadership center after a wave of precision strikes by the Tochka missiles of the Assad Government forces. In this attack, at least 65 militias were reported killed, but it is likely more considering the damage caused by the missiles. It is noteworthy! The pro-militia media and their supporters are now starting to shout that the Syrian operations together with Russia are starting to have a severe impact on civilians, something that is repeated and unproven! The Syrian Government will take unprecedented measures to suppress terrorism that is considered to only understand the language of violence, and destroy it quickly as Assad previously said. It seems that the Syrian Army is operating hundreds of missiles from this system during this period, and its launches continue to destroy foreign militias with one goal, to occupy Syria.

  2552. The things being set in motion right now could spell the abrupt end of the Ukrainian conflict. Of course, we’re not going to lean into that optimistic potential too heavily, because we all know how arduously the warmongering deep state will work towards some continuation of their goals. But it’s still important to outline the details of how close to the precipice the situation has potentially gotten. In short, since Republicans are a current majority in the House, a majority of Republicans would have to agree on a Ukraine funding bill in order for that to even be proposed for voting in the House. And depending on whose poll you use, the majority of Republicans seem to not support Ukraine any longer. European countries are crumbling from the devastating effects this conflict has had on global economies. Their own people are up in arms; how many coalitions and governments, for instance, did you see collapse this year alone? How many top leaders were ousted from European nations? Particularly after another long, hard winter, things will only get worse. That means by next spring, it’s very difficult to imagine a situation where some newfound solidarity happens to form around pledging tens and hundreds of billions more for Ukraine. Russia will use this winter to unleash devastation on Ukraine’s infrastructure and rear lines. Recall that Russia has massively beefed up its space ISR capabilities this past year with a dozen or more significant military satellite launches which included opto-electrical and SAR radar satellites, as well as communications and SIGINT detection ones. In May of 2024 Russia is set to launch its first commercial opto-electrical satellites, akin to MAXAR. Not to mention that Roscosmos is launching the Gryphon project consisting of a 136 satellite constellation that will “monitor the entire earth’s surface”. A brutal hell will be unleashed on Ukraine’s dug in units this winter. In the meantime, Russia’s ground forces will be growing rapidly in size. Recall Shoigu’s ongoing stealth mobilization. Putin had just updated the numbers, which now stand at roughly 350,000 total enlistments for the entire year, with the previous month having 50,000 sign ups (recall months prior to that had 15-30k sign ups per month, which grew steadily). I think some people imagine the current war to be this fruitless Battle of Somme style stalemate, or Verdun with its attempt to “bleed the enemy white” via attrition. But like I said, WW1 had equal sides. The Russo-Ukrainian war has a 400lb gorilla simply sitting and gaining weight while a mouse pumped up on cocaine nibbles at its toes. There is little comparison. - Simplicius The Ukrainian leader lashed out at Jean-Claude Juncker for suggesting Kiev was too corrupt to join the block - RT The Rant of a serial sociopathic liar guilty of crimes against humanity is not owed the time of day! For eight decades after the Second World War, NATO and later the European Union were always a handy vehicle for American imperialism. The vassals were held together by the relative strength of the U.S. empire. That empire is now unravelling from endless wars, bankruptcy and endemic corruption in Washington. The last episode of the historic failure is being played out in the fraudulent proxy war in Ukraine – sold to the Western public by the lying mainstream media as yet another “noble cause” to allegedly defend democracy (how absurd!). The ultimate degeneracy is evident from the “moralizing”, “superior” Western powers being found in bed with a Nazi regime. And along with that degeneracy, financial debts are off the charts and a grievous insult to the onerous democratic needs of the Western public. - LewRockwell About the Russian Iskander missile attack that hit a cafe in the village of Groza, Hroza, in Kharkiv region to Kupyansk direction. Apparently that the cafe was a gathering place for Ukrainian ultra nationalists from Aidar Battalion as targets, on the day of the funeral of one of the top leaders of their group which was attended by at least 150 of his last brothers in arms. - Military Tube Today

  2569. Trudeau’s Theater of Weakness: How Canada Became Puppet, Now Crushed Under Trump's Hammer Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are scrambling to appear relevant as Donald Trump, true to his businessman persona, moves to impose tariffs on Canadian imports. Their sudden outrage over “harsh medicine” is rich with irony, as this is precisely the predictable fallout of their own globalist servility. For years, Canada has been a willing vassal of Washington’s reckless globalist agenda, from backing fascist forever wars from Ukraine to Israel, to blindly following Biden’s disastrous open-borders. Now, stripped of sovereignty, Canada faces Trump’s leverage with no cards to play. Freeland’s hollow bravado about Canada’s critical minerals and metals exposes how unprepared Ottawa is. Sure, resources like nickel and cobalt are vital to the U.S., but Canada’s lack of investment in its own industries means it holds little strategic weight compared to Eurasia’s dominance in this space. Premier Doug Ford’s threat to cut energy exports to the U.S. underscores the desperation. Energy might power 1.5 million American homes, but this gambit only reveals how poorly Trudeau has positioned Canada on the world stage. Trudeau and Freeland’s outrage is especially galling given their role in turning Canada into a pawn of U.S. neocons and globalist elites. They championed NATO’s economic war on Russia, which backfired spectacularly, crippling European industries while strengthening Moscow’s economic position, now 4th in the world (IMF). They supported Biden’s border chaos and bankrolled Ukraine’s suicidal proxy war. When they weren’t busy with this, they were freezing the bank accounts of their own citizens during the Freedom Convoy protests. Having consistently betrayed Canadians, they now feign shock at Trump’s cold, transactional approach. Trump’s tariffs are not a betrayal but a harsh reality check. He’s merely exposing the rot within Canada’s leadership, a government more interested in photo ops and virtue signaling than actual governance. While Freeland talks of “robust responses,” one can’t help but wonder where this fire was when Trudeau sold out Canada’s autonomy to Davos bureaucrats and Military-Industrial warmongers. Under Trudeau, Canada became a textbook puppet state, blindly parroting DC’s talking points while sacrificing its own interests. Freeland’s claim that Canada’s partnership with the U.S. is at risk falls flat, Canada hasn’t been a partner in years, just an obedient subordinate. Trump, a realist, sees this and acts accordingly, tightening the economic noose while Trudeau flails, unprepared for the predictable consequences of his own policies. The hypocrisy is staggering. Trudeau, who cheered on sanctions that destroyed European economies in the name of punishing Russia, now cries foul when those tactics are turned on Canada. This government, which cloaked itself in the rhetoric of human rights, has supported Israel’s apartheid policies, backed NATO’s destruction of Libya, and crushed dissent at home. Morality, it seems, only matters when it’s politically convenient. At the heart of this crisis lies Trudeau’s betrayal of Canada’s sovereignty. By outsourcing decision-making to Washington and globalists, his government has left the country vulnerable to the whims of others. Trump’s moves simply expose the lie that Canada can act like a puppet abroad while maintaining independence at home. Trudeau and Freeland’s tears over tariffs ring hollow… they built this house of cards, and now it’s collapsing. Trump isn’t the villain here; he’s the reckoning. His tariffs are a brutal reminder that sovereignty cannot be outsourced, and leadership cannot be faked. Trudeau’s government, obsessed with globalist approval, sold out Canada’s future for a seat at the wrong table, a table where Canada was always the disposable pawn. If Canada wants to reclaim its dignity, it must start by rejecting leaders who cry victim only after they’ve betrayed their own people. O, Canada, wake up! - Gerry Nolan TheIslanderNews For Intel Republic

  2579. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - More than 50% of Toretsk is already under the control of Russian forces, and assault units are advancing amidst the ongoing fighting, liberating blocks of the city, which were defended by Ukrainian Nazi troops from the Azov Battalion and the Enei Battalion of the Lyut Brigade. This was confirmed by the Leader of the Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, in a video on October 13, 2024, when he personally assessed the situation in Dzerzhinsk, which had been renamed Toretsk. One of the commanders of the assault units that liberated the city with the call sign "Ostap" from the 132nd Brigade, spoke about this in a conversation with Pushilin, that presented the soldiers with watches during the visit. “Soon the old name will be officially returned,” Pushilin said! Near the Central District, heavy clashes continue and clearings in high-rise buildings and on the streets of the city are underway, although near the Residential District, there is a slight calm. The moment when the Ukrainian drone observed the Russian Orthodox soldiers praying, showing these people standing on the honorable side during the storming of the buildings of Toretsk. Due to the support of artillery and air force, which attacked Ukrainian firing positions and ammunition depots, while the Russian assault troops fought from house to house, continuing with significant changes to liberate half of the city. The footage shows the intensity of the fighting in the working positions of the Ukrainian assault units, which are being hampered by heavy fire from the Russian troops. They even show signs of almost surrendering the city, due to the lack of reinforcements and heavy equipment. The Eastern District of Toretsk, is almost under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Russian soldiers filmed the aftermath of the fighting in the area, in other reports that Ukraine controls about 30% of the city. Sources say that the Ukrainian military acted according to known practice, that is, withdrawing some of its units again and the remnants of the Ukrainian nationalist troops were forced to flee the city, which is expected to soon change its old name, Dzerzhinsk!

  2608. The most important developments on the docket are that Zelensky was supposed to address Congress in a classified meeting tonight, which was for some reason cancelled at the last minute. One of the potential explanations is that the Republicans have snubbed Biden and the Democrats’ overtures to unlock the Ukrainian funding, as the Rs simply won’t budge from their demands on securing the border first. A few months ago, there were reports that much of Ukraine’s critical aid like shells, etc., is given “hand to mouth.” Meaning, as soon as it rolls off the production line it’s immediately shipped and just as immediately used. They don’t have vast storehouses of it and thus the cut off would theoretically have instant ramifications on their ability to carry out basic battlefield functions. In the meantime, the pro-UA crowd is having a meltdown. All kinds of Ukrainian analysts and figures of the commentariat have been dishing out increasingly high-pitch squeals and cries of alarm. Everyone from Arestovich, Gordon, various soldiers on the frontline—there seems to be nothing but bad news. The West has completely dissolved the productive capacities that made it the powerhouse of the world during the Cold War era: This fraudulent specter of Russian imperialism is being ginned-up to spin fear through the dim European populace and galvanize Ukraine’s sagging support. Russia is vastly expanding its budgets and planning to conquer all of Europe, yet at the same time, it is Russia that is clamoring to end the war, and that a ceasefire is a “Russian propaganda” directive? How does that make sense? It’s just risible bile, and shows the utter moral and intellectual destitution of the declining West’s late stage propaganda efforts—they’re not even trying anymore. Just observe doltish Stoltenberg who pantomimes concern with his bovine blinks while expectorating some nonsense like: “We must bring peace by continuing to arm Ukraine!” It’s a veritable gallery of clowns! The U.S. has no interest in seeing its armor lose all its prestige on the world stage via dozens of HD videos of burning Abrams tanks, exposed by the superior Russian weaponry we were supposed to believe was no match. - Simplicius

  2611. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The Syrian Armed Forces have successfully carried out a large-scale operation against terrorist groups in the northern countryside of Homs with airstrikes from Russian and Syrian fighter jets, the official SANA news agency reported on Friday evening, citing military sources. Syrian Arab Army units operated around Talbiseh-Al Rastan enclave and in Al-Dar al-Kabirah, launching attacks on terrorist forces with the support of warplanes, artillery, rockets and armored vehicles. Syrian Arab Army is carrying out repositioning and redeployment in accordance with military plans and orders, determined to continue to defend Syria steadfastly, the news agency added. According to footage from pro-Turkish sources, clashes took place in al-Qosour between Syrian Army and terrorist groups, namely out of 10 people, 8 of whom are foreign mercenaries with the support of clearly known countries. The attacks were aimed at blocking their progress and supply chains towards Homs, a city that has been captured in the news, which is exploited by the enemy circles to spread rumors among the citizens, as reported by the Syrian Defense Ministry. Amid the ongoing fighting in the northern districts of Homs, Su-22 warplanes attacked Ter Maela, targeting terrorist groups and their supply lines during the day. In addition, Syrian Army officer said that Russian planes launched airstrikes at night to destroy the Rastan bridge along the main M5 highway connecting Hama to Homs. This was important to prevent the spread of terrorists towards Homs, entering several villages and areas to take pictures for a few minutes, and leaving the area to then publish the clips on their websites in the context of a dirty media war to show their control. Syrian Arab Army swept the enemy with a swift movement, eliminating many terrorist members and destroying many of their vehicles, equipment and weapons. Syrian Army air defenses also shot down 2 enemy suicide drones. Sources reported that many other members fled due to the air force operation and the areas were also bombarded with heavy artillery. In Talbiseh, it showed that Syrian-Russian operation left significant damage to enemy positions due to heavy shelling, and the strategic city looked deserted in the morning as in the footage by a motorcyclist. Meanwhile in Rastan, it is unknown where the terrorists went, where the conditions are the same as in Talbiseh, Syrian-Russian attack left a nightmare for the enemy group. The death toll of terrorists rose to 2,500 during the week while Syrian Armed Forces carried out a counterattack with the support of Russian Aerospace Forces, the Syrian Defense Ministry reported

  2620. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – On November 24, 2024, drone footage of the battlefield showed the entry of a Russian armored column after artillery preparation and the operation of attack aircraft, carrying out a strategic storming, completely encircling Ukrainian troops taking up positions in the settlement of Ilyinka, located south of the city of Kurakhovo. The armor of the landing assault unit of the 33rd Motorized Rifle Division, using BMP-2M and T-72 "Supermangal" reinforced to combat drones, carried out a series of heavy shelling of the enemy's strategic points. The rapid advance of the armored column met with strong resistance, but the armored column held out well and without losses. The Ukrainian side was targeted unexpectedly from the north of the settlement along the Mokrye Yaly River, to their positions west of the settlement. Here, the Ukrainian troops were caught in a "fire trap", and quickly their defense collapsed due to the coordinated maneuver of the Russian assault units. Then after the operation of the armored column, "Supermangal" was seen sending assault troops to enemy support positions, Ukrainian troops hiding in the ruins of buildings and underground dugouts. The scale of the soldiers' engineering work is impressive - the Armed Forces of Ukraine were unable to make any effort to delay the rapid Russian advance. The brave Russian assault troops, consisting of only a few men, quickly took the suspected points, went through the buildings one by one, where the Ukrainian troops might still be, and cleared them. Meanwhile, two other assault troops approached the Ukrainian trenches under enemy fire. However, in the end they managed to break through the enemy's defenses and quickly capture their important trenches. Then, Ilyinka was cleared efficiently on the same day, as the Ukrainians were unable to hold their positions. On the same day, several Ukrainian sources reported that Russian troops had taken Ilyinka and Romanovka. Meanwhile, the battle continued for Yelizavetivka the next to the river, which was almost completely under Russian control, as reported by Russian military correspondents. Kiev's troops reportedly retreated to avoid encirclement, forcing the Ukrainian command to hastily withdraw the remaining units that managed to escape during the Russian armored assault, which advanced 2 kilometers from the north along the Mokrye Yaly River

  2633. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The rapid changes, the Russian Armed Forces stormed and took the settlement of Berestki, securing more of the northern bank of the Kurakhovo reservoir, yesterday on November 27, 2024, Russian military correspondents report. Elements of the 114th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 51st Army released their footage, showing them planting the Red Flag and flying it on the roof of a house in the summer cottage area west of the settlement, accumulating the morale of the Kiev troops that was steadily declining in the town of Kurakhovo and its environs. The soldiers of the 114th Brigade continued their confident offensive, suppressing Zelensky's troops, who tried to take refuge in the buildings of the settlement, and in fortifications located about 1 km northwest of Berestky. During the assault, the footage showed the soldiers of the 114th Brigade, destroying Ukrainian equipment and infantry, consolidating control over the liberated territory. The aerial view shows the large Ukrainian fortifications, which were well established around March - April 2024, in addition to earthen fortifications, also have reinforced concrete shelters for defense. But the heroic soldiers managed to hold it constantly and persistently, giving a little friction to the Ukrainian positions in the shelters prepared for defense, but in the end it was not enough. In total, the fight to break through the enemy's defensive positions, Russian soldiers combed the enemy from house to house, previously pounded by artillery fire. Their attempt to escape in a vehicle was also thwarted! Berestky, another settlement in Donetsk under Russian control, but still awaiting official confirmation from the Ministry of Defense after the settlement is fully completed. Gradually, Russian troops will pass the reservoir, the last solid line of defense for Ukrainian troops - which means that Russia now has only about 3 km to trap Ukraine in the western part of the city of Kurakhovo. The situation in that direction is rapidly becoming critical, because it has long been known that Ukraine main problem is the lack of soldiers and equipment. Ukrainian brigades are facing a shortage of drones and have started to open donations, indicating that they are currently facing their toughest battle.

  2640. Reflections on Hubris and the Looming Extinction of the Fiat Dollar as Reserve. As we reflect on Trump’s bluster about imposing 100% tariffs on BRICS nations for daring to chart a course away from the dollar, perhaps he should direct his attention to a more pressing concern: the numbers staring us all in the face. More than $36 trillion national debt and over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. A debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 123%, built on a fiat Ponzi scheme so reckless it makes Monopoly money look like a sound investment. The U.S. dollar wasn’t dethroned by BRICS. It was undermined from within, betrayed by unchecked money printing, inflation, and weaponized sanctions wielded like a cudgel against half the globe. A dollar depended upon credibility as a means of exchange suicided itself. This isn’t the cunning of a financial hegemon; it’s the flailing of a system that abused its own credibility until none was left. A “mighty” dollar? No, a cursed relic, unraveling under the weight of its creators' hubris. And while Trump clings to his empty threats, the BRICS markets are rapidly growing, expanding into the future with dynamism and opportunity. In stark contrast, the U.S. market... when adjusted for real inflation is shrinking, bleeding vitality with every misstep and every policy blunder. This isn’t checkers, Donnie, and it’s certainly not Texas hold ’em, where you can bluff your way out of a terrible hand. You’ve got to think a few moves aheadand right now, it’s painfully clear that Washington has no endgame, only doubling down on monetary suicide. 100% tariffs on BRICS? Not a problem. In fact, the emerging economic powerhouses of BRICS+ would welcome them with reciprocal sanctions on the dwindling U.S. manufacturing sector, if it can even produce competitive goods anymore. While BRICS nations build the markets of tomorrow, America clings to its fading economic dominance like a ghost haunting the ruins of its own making. Let’s be clear: the U.S. has chosen to play monetary-economic Darwinism, and the result will be an expedited extinction of its fiat currency. This is no external conspiracy; it is a reality authored by decades of retrograde hubris, policy blunders, and a failure to adapt to a world that no longer tolerates the weaponization of money. The dollar’s demise isn’t just probable, it’s inevitable. Trump’s threats are hollow, as flimsy as the “mighty dollar” he claims to defend. And the rest of the world? They’ve already moved on. Economic Darwinism, indeed. - Gerry Nolan TheIslanderNews for Intel Republic

  2655. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Ukrainian troops, who are still trying to hold out on Russian soil in Martynovka in the Kursk region, were raining by a heavy hail of incendiary ammunition, which covered the area of concentration of their manpower and equipment in the village. The Russian military channel released footage today, December 6, 2024, showing how a night barrage of 9M22S incendiary ammunition, presumably fired by BM-21 "Grad" MLRS, is now falling on the positions of those fighting for Zelensky's officials and the Western collective. It seems that the hail of incendiary ammunition was aimed at the last foothold, where Ukrainians concentrated their troops in the village, and now the enemy's positions are suppressed by the resulting fire. In recent days, the Russian Grad MLRS has been diligently firing its rockets, which contain magnesium and other substances mixed in them, to set fire to the enemy's military ammunition and fuel sources. As in the footage, the Russian Paratroopers "Tula" operate the Grad on Ukrainian formations in Kursk, precisely targeting manpower, equipment, fortifications, observation posts and armor! This week, much of the Ukrainian and Western equipment was destroyed by Paratroopers as they approached Martynovka. The footage shows a panoramic view of the village itself, which is being liberated by Russian troops, and new Kiev losses are being detected by drone vision. Two destroyed howitzers are seen blocking the road, and a heavily damaged Canadian "Roshel Senator" armoured fighting vehicle, while drone search for anothers by circling the village. Ukraine and the West have only advanced one step in the Kursk adventure with continued losses of life and equipment, and so far continue to be pushed back by Russian troops on the Kursk line, and it is believed that Martynovka will be liberated in days!

  2675. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Important updates summarized until October 24, 2024, finally the Motorized Rifle Troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces managed to clear the recently liberated Olgovka, showing the streets littered with dead Ukrainians, and destroyed equipment everywhere. Olgovka, previously a major stronghold, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine barricaded themselves, dug in on the northwestern side of the Kursk region which was invaded by Kiev. The village was disputed for two months, with repeated attacks from both sides. However, recently the Ukrainian defenses collapsed quickly, and were forced to withdraw from the area through the forest belt behind the village, which has now been completely cleared. Now, the Russian and air force flags are flying over Olgovka during the BRICS period! The October 24, clip by the Russian military correspondent shows that Russian troops have taken back full control of Olgovka. There is no dispute about this, and it is the only significant movement on the front lines inside Russia in the past week. The motorized riflemen showed the village streets, which were literally littered with many dead, believed to be from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, lying everywhere, destroyed by Russian troops during the liberation of the village. In addition, the clip showed the collection of trophies and dumping of scrap metal on the streets and lanes of the village after the enemy forces were driven out. It was littered with piles of burned tanks, NATO armored vehicles, and other Ukrainian troops equipment, destroyed during their adventure. Zelensky's troops escape from Olgovka under fire was not entirely successful. Russian drone pilots and artillery worked together to ambush the fleeing infantry troops, and set their vehicles on fire as in the footage that likely took place on October 19-21. An Ukrainian BRM-1K was damaged with its protective cage under fire from live ammunition, likely hit by an RPG at close range, forcing the surviving Ukrainian elements of one squad to scramble to the tree line. The abandoned vehicle was later found by Russian soldiers. A Canadian Roshel Senator MRAP armored vehicle, also became a trophy from Olgovka after being attacked by drone. As Ukrainian troops raced away from advancing Russian forces in Kursk, another Roshel Senator ran out of fuel, left the vehicle to the Russians, and raced back to the border with caution.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS GIVEN IMPUNITY TO KILL 20 PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS IN EACH AIRSTRIKE, since October 8th of last year - reveals new mainstream investigation (pictured) after interviewing more than 100 Israeli troops, officials, dozens of Gazan victims and experts on rules of warfare. Reports reveals Tel Aviv "loosened its rules" to bomb and kill 1,000s of civilians under guise of targeting Hamas fighters, allowing mid-ranking officers to choose targets and order indiscriminate airstrikes (expand below for main points of war crimes allowed to air). In first weeks of war, Israel significantly reduced use of warnings that give civilians time to flee, striking many targets without notice Nearly 30,000 munitions were fired into Gaza Strip in first seven weeks – more than next 8 months of war combined Senior commanders approved strikes on Hamas leaders that they knew would each endanger more than 100 noncombatants - report reveals. Israeli leadership issued order allowing up to 500 civilians in Gaza to be endangered daily Many intelligence officers were encouraged to suggest a certain number of targets every day Air Force used one-ton bombs to destroy entire office towers when it could've used smaller, more precise bombs Lack of guidance kits forced pilots to rely on less accurate bombs The leadership issued an order 7 hours after the October attack that made warning shots an option - citing anonymous Israeli officers. Israeli officers acted with near impunity. Panel appointed by military chief of staff was investigating circumstances of hundreds of strikes. No one has been charged - Investigation concludes. - Intel Republic

  2686. If the US was a normal country minding its own affairs and caring for its own people it would indeed be nonsensical for it to invest so much wealth and resources in Israel, but the US is as far from a normal country as can be. It’s the hub of a vast, undeclared empire made up of allies, client states, proxies, and systems of military, economic and financial coercion which keeps most of the world moving in accordance with the wishes of the empire managers. History has shown us that this power structure can only be maintained by endless violence, threats, coercion, mass-scale psychological manipulation in the form of propaganda, and fear of nuclear annihilation. As a reliably US-aligned nuclear power which is intimately interwoven with the western war machine and the US intelligence cartel, Israel may not serve the interests of the people who live in the United States, but it is an absolutely indispensable component of the US empire. - LewRockwell RUSSIAN BANKING SECTOR FORGES AHEAD to dismay of Russia’s "ill-wishers" states Putin as he meets with Russian banking giant VTB chief Kostin who states West's sanctions have FAILED to isolate Russia. Meanwhile European businesses losing 100s of BILLIONS of dollars due to very same anti-Russian sanctions. - Intel Report Assault unit of Paratroopers of Russian Airborne Forces dismantles strongholds of Ukrainian troops in Artemovsk direction Orlan-10 UAV discovered them and attacked with Msta-B howitzers. Then the assault detachment advanced to attack and capture the militants hiding in the fort. - Military Tube Today The last week of November is setting up to be a pivotal week in Ukraine’s futile effort to fend off the Russian military. Russia is clobbering Kiev and other parts of western Ukraine with drone hordes that are wreaking havoc on military depots and electric power nodes. Despite the inclement weather, Russian soldiers are advancing steadily in Avdeevka and forcing the retreat and surrender of hundreds of Ukrainian troops from an area they have held since 2014. If the winter weather now battering Ukraine continues through December and January, the situation for Ukrainian troops hunkered down in trenches and bunkers will become desperate because the snow and cold will make it very difficult to keep them properly supplied with food and ammunition. There also is the question of whether Western supplied gear can function or be maintained with the icy fingers of General Winter squeezing the Ukrainian throat. It is looking like a very dark winter for Ukraine. - Sonar21

  2702. The “world’s most advanced military” took three months to manage a claimed capture of that while fighting a completely technologically outmatched foe who they outnumber 500k to ~10k. The IDF also has now used this capture as excuse to explain the dismissal of several top brigades to the rear for reconstitution. Instead of being made combat ineffective, the line is now that they have valiantly completed their mission and are taking a rest. They claim that in capturing Gaza City, they have eliminated 8000 Hamas fighters. However, John Kirby himself appears dubious regarding this, as he implies that Hamas has not been measurably attrited: And here is the Israeli ambassador to the UK just nonchalantly admitting that all of Gaza must be destroyed: Where does such inhuman barbarity stem from, you wonder? I believe it is a case of simple unrestrained human nature. Those who’ve read books like Lord of the Flies know that humans can very quickly devolve into quite immoral, depraved, and Machiavellian brutes if there are no checks in place to restrain some of human nature’s darker impulses. You see, it’s not that all humans are necessarily mindlessly depraved by nature per se, but rather that it’s very easy to set off a cascade event of unethical behavior when only a small pilot group initiates it. Israel has carried out terror and crimes for decades that any other country in the world would have been immediately reproached, condemned, and sanctioned for. This has created a sense of unparalleled historical entitlement and exceptionalism in Israeli society such that they feel no qualms whatsoever about glibly and openly calling for genocide. In any other society, it would not only make instant headlines but would make the top docket at the UN human rights council meetings. But in Israel, you can call for genocide, you can demean the Palestinians with open racism as Israeli TV so often does, and it doesn’t get so much as a passing glance or shrug. Israel has been the favored son for so long, its most transgressive acts ignored and tacitly allowed for such a length of time, that it has simply developed a natural sense of entitlement and divine exceptionalism. Now, when the world suddenly stands up to it for the first time, Israel is dumbstruck with feigned shock like a child caught with its hand in the cookie jar. In the same vein, Nikki Haley’s call to relocate all Gazans into “Hamas” countries is clearly an attempt to subconsciously link innocent civilians to ‘terrorism’. And that’s of course besides the fact that she’s openly calling for ethnic cleansing of an entire population, which is a crime against humanity, and goes against every international law—except the western Luciferian “Rule of Law”. As to Lloyd’s “minor elective procedure”—which appeared to leave him comatose for nearly an entire week—there’s no definitive word. But some suspect it may have been an emergency surgical extraction of an uncashed Raytheon kickback from his netherside. - Simplicius

  2704. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Ukrainian forces are now facing unprecedented hardships, with large amounts of their equipment being burned on the highway to Sudzha. Russian forces have taken control of all supply routes in Kursk Region, capturing Sudzha-Sverdlikovo highway with fire, leaving the only route for Ukrainian troops to return to Sumy before the Sudzha cauldron closes, with up to 4,000 Ukrainian troops likely to be surrounded! This action highlights the increasingly intense border clashes, destroying Ukrainian military equipment as enemy troops try to probe Russian defenses as shown in footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 3, 2025. The Tula Paratroopers are the main rapid response force, engaging in combat, countering this threat with precision strikes and ambush tactics. As a result, two Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles and one D-20 152mm howitzer engaged near Sudzha, demonstrating Ukrainian increasing reliance on armor and artillery, were destroyed by drone strikes! Sudzha is one of the last places Kiev’s forces have taken advantage of for a while. Recently they tried to escape there after Russian troops continued to gradually liberate several settlements, including Novaya Sorochina which was liberated on March 3. However, they were not allowed to leave their defeated areas to reach Sudzha, the road was heavily attacked by FPV drones of the 40th Marines working, as in the footage released by Supladatov Official on Telegram Channel on March 1. Drones were launched by operators, hitting several vehicles even as Ukrainian troops evacuated their wounded comrades who were inside the vehicles. This battle confirms that Russian positions along the Sudzha route remain strong. Ukrainian forces continue to face difficulties in maintaining their offensive actions, they say Ukraine is “winning”, and are now in a semi-encirclement in Sudzha, which cannot be won. The latest wave shows Colombian mercenaries among the Ukrainian invading troops captured by Russian troops in Sudzha, while Ukrainian personnel losses in Kursk continue to skyrocket every day, reaching more than 64,845 soldiers, as reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 4.

  2713. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Most of the Ukrainian troops were killed due to the recent failure to withstand the sensitive attack by the Russian Armed Forces, north of the MalayaLoknya settlement in Kursk Region, as shown in footage released by Russian military correspondents on February 26, 2025. Ukrainian troops were hit by artillery as circled in red on the map, forcing Russian troops to capture and eliminate several Ukrainian assault troops in the northern part of the captured Orlovka, and simultaneously liberate several other settlements in the sector the day before. The infographic image shows further disarray in the Ukrainian assault troops, most of whom were eliminated by Russian artillery attacks from the 34th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, referring to the casualties or losses of a large number of Ukrainian officers during this battle. It is known that Russia is determined to recapture the entire Kursk Region before peace with Ukraine begins! The great burden on the Ukrainian command structure north of this settlement, resulted in the withdrawal of Ukrainian units after the loss of many personnel. The continued support of various Russian weapons, further hampering Kiev's operational capabilities especially in the ongoing northern sector of Malaya Loknya. Following the recapture of neighboring villages in the sector, Ukrainian units in small groups began to pack up, trying to escape with armor to other areas, possibly to make temporary gains in Sudzha. However, Russian forces did not even allow the troops to leave. The unit was hit by roaming ammunition as they prepared to flee, destroying the vehicle including its occupants as shown in Russian military footage released on February 27. Meanwhile, on February 25, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that Russian assault units from the 34th Guards Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade had liberated the villages of Pogrebki and Orlovka, following the capture of Marievka. The soldiers raised the Russian flag, coinciding with reports of successful military operations in Malaya Loknya sector. On February 27, the Defense Ministry informed about the cases inside Ukraine from a prisoner. Aleksandr Chumak was captured while attempting to storm Kursk, and he started to tell everything honestly!

  2714. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Air raid alerts have been issued across Ukraine following a major missile strikes, launched by the Russian Armed Forces, targeting Ukrainian gas and military infrastructure on a large scale. Footage circulated online on March 7, 2025, showing missile flights on the morning of March 7, launching Kalibr missiles by Russian Navy ships from the Black Sea, and an unknown several of Tu-95 strategic missile carriers of the Russian Aerospace Forces departing from Murmansk with Kh-101 missiles involved. Images and videos showed a small number of cruise missiles flying towards their designated targets, among others are Kharkov Region, Ternopil, Poltava, Sumy, with the worst-hit area being Myrhorod, where more than 10 explosions were reported at the Ukrainian Air Force airbase, sources reported. Footage from Kharkov showed the aftermath, thick smoke billowing from energy facilities and gas infrastructure while Kiev-based sources complained and expressed concern. Meanwhile, verification of details through Ukrainian news sources that are less credible for accuracy, reported that in Kharkov there was also the arrival of ballistic missiles on infrastructure and residential buildings with a number of dead or injured. In addition to critical infrastructure buildings and residential buildings, 10 garages and five cars were burned, the Kharkov regional prosecutor's office said. Also, in Ternopil near Polish border, the power of the explosion by Kalibr missile, launched from the crew of the Black Sea submarine, where the gas compressor station in Velyka Berezovitsa was hit. Eyewitnesses reported that oxygen was sucked everywhere, the main gas pipeline was depressurized, and a leak was recorded. The metering point and distribution unit were damaged by fire, which also occurred in an area of 200 m², which led to the interruption of gas supplies to strategic facilities. This is believed to be the first significant attack on Ukraine since the US stopped sharing early warning data with them from two waves of missile launches, which in total, more than 35 missiles were fired including involving drones. The targeting of energy and military infrastructure, apparently aimed at weakening the operational capacity and morale of the Ukrainian military. However, so far there has been no official confirmation from Moscow regarding the reports of the strikes.

  2745. You have to hand it to the U.S. and its henchmen for brazenness. In order to protect their client state Israel and its genocide in Gaza, the U.S., together with the UK, have in one week launched air and sea attacks on the Houthis in Yemen five times, referring to it as “self-defense” in their Orwellian lingo. The ostensible reason being Yemen’s refusal to allow ships bound for Israel, which is committing genocide in Gaza, to enter the Red Sea, while permitting other ships to pass freely. To any impartial observer, the Houthis should be lauded. Yet, while the International Court of Justice considers the South African charge of genocide against Israel that is supported by overwhelming evidence, the U.S. and its allies have instigated a wider war throughout the Middle East while claiming they do not want such a war. These settler colonial states want genocide and a much wider war because they have been set back on their heels by those they have mocked, provoked, and attacked – notably the Palestinians, Syrians, and Russians, among others. Let us call upon Israeli and American soldiers and pilots “to abandon the battlefield”, as an act of refusal to participate in a criminal undertaking against the People of Gaza. South Africa’s legal procedure at the ICJ should be endorsed Worldwide. While it cannot be relied upon to put a rapid end to the genocide, it provides support and legitimacy to the “Disobey Unlawful Orders, Abandon the Battlefield” campaign under Nuremberg Charter Principle IV. With each passing day, it becomes more and more evident that Israel/U.S.A. and their allies do want a wider war. Iran is their special focus, with Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen targets on the way. Anyone who supports the genocide in Gaza, explicitly or through silence, bears responsibility for the conflagration to come. There are no excuses. It is bi-partisan war-mongering, of course, internationally and intramurally, since both U.S. political parties are controlled by the Israel Lobby and billionaire class that owns Congress and the “defense” industry that thrives on never-ending war. Neither the Israeli nor American government can allow themselves to be humiliated, U.S./NATO by the Russians in Ukraine and the Israelis by the Palestinians. Like cornered criminals with lethal weapons, they will kill as many as they can on their way down, taking their revenge on the weakest first. Men like Biden and Netanyahu are intent on launching desperate acts of war. Exactly when and how this expanded war will blaze across the headlines is the question. It has started, but I think it prudent to expect a black swan event sometime this year when all hell will break loose. The genocide in Gaza is the first step, and the U.S./Israel, “not wanting” a wider war, have already started one. - LewRockwell

  2751. Recall that Hamas was partly or entirely created by Israel—a fact confessed to by several high ranking Israeli officials—as a counterweight to the PLO, the dominant political group at the time. So it’s not out of the question that a group created by Israel and Western intelligence outfits can potentially still be under their control or at least infiltrated to the extent of being ‘steered’ into creating certain needed false flags which could benefit Israel as a whole. This is supported by new evidence reportedly coming out that Hamas was using Ukrainian-supplied weaponry, which would indicate a fairly standard Western intel weapons pipeline a la the Contras, et al. The primary principle that I operate under is that almost no global event happens by pure happenstance, particularly when it’s in a given related geopolitical sphere.

  2752. French President Emmanuel Macron should apologize for making “misleading” claims about the origins of the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has told RT. In particular, Zakharova criticized Macron for alleging that Russia was to blame for the failure of the Minsk Accords. The agreements were brokered in 2014 and 2015 to halt fighting between Ukraine and the now-Russian Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, with France and Germany as guarantors. They were ultimately not implemented, and Moscow later accused Kiev and the West of using them to strengthen Ukraine’s military instead of securing peace. “We cannot forget that Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and that we negotiated a ceasefire in Minsk at that time. And Russia did not respect this ceasefire,” the French president alleged, claiming that Moscow poses a direct threat to France and the entire EU. Zakharova condemned Macron’s comments as “aggressive and destructive” and pointed out that former French President François Hollande and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel have “openly confessed and not under torture or pressure” back in 2022 they never intended to enforce the accords. “Macron should invite his predecessor… Hollande, to the Élysée Palace to have a heart-to-heart talk with him… Then he’ll probably hear from Hollande... that he had no intention of implementing the Minsk agreements while representing France,” Zakharova stated, suggesting that after speaking to Hollande, Macron would “have to apologize to his own population for misleading them.” - RT

  2782. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The Russian Armed Forces’ front lines continue to advance at a rapid pace west of Kurakhovo clearing Ukrainian troops culminating in the capture of Konstantinopel in Donetsk People’s Republic, one of the settlements liberated by Russian forces in recent days. The Russian Defense Ministry shared a video on March 9, 2025, showing the battle situation in the settlement by Russian assault units of the Vostok Group of Forces to eliminate Ukrainian positions, which are fully supported by European countries that want the war to continue. Since yesterday, March 8, Russian Far Eastern infantry units crossed the Vovcha River bed in active operations, and the group advanced towards the area north of the settlement, while previously Russian assault units had established a foothold south of the settlement. During the intense fighting that culminated in the raising of the victory flag, enemy troops were bombarded with explosions by a barrage of Russian weapons. FPV drone teams and artillery units were involved as usual, which were intended to support the assault units in destroying several Ukrainian positions, which insisted on holding on and still upholding the idea of official Kiev. The Ukrainian Nazi-ideological military suffered a heavy blow, and their losses are difficult to describe further. Thus, the 29th Guards Army of the Group of Forces "East" liberated Konstantinopel, where the sweep and consolidation of the zone of control expansion was underway. Russian units captured field positions more than 2 km deep along the Vovcha River bed in the northern part of Konstantinopel and 1 km along the front line, destroying between 15-35 Ukrainian soldiers. Now, the Ministry of Defense officially announced the capture of Konstantinopel on March 9, and the Russian flag is flying over the roof of a building liberated from Ukrainian troops. Further around Konstantinopel, the Russian military also defeated the formations of two mechanized brigades, one assault regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and one brigade of marines in the settlements of Bogatyr, Fedorovka, Veseloye, Voskresenka, Dneproenergia, and Razliv. As a result, Ukrainian forces in this direction lost more than 145 servicemen and a lot of other combat equipment during the day.

  2783. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The occupation army documented the launch of a barrage of rockets, fired by the Hezbollah Resistance Forces from southern Lebanon, entering the port city of Haifa and its surroundings. Today, September 8, 2024, at least 100 rockets were launched simultaneously in less than 30 minutes, marking the largest barrage of rockets in history since the beginning of the war on the occupied city, an important commercial and industrial center for the Zionist entity. The Israeli media labeled this as the largest attack, and wrote “You have to be here to know how big the disaster is in this city. Although this is part of Hezbollah's massive retaliation, but Israeli brutal attacks on Lebanese cities are considered much more destructive and indiscriminate. The Israeli air defense missile, Iron Dome tried to intercept some of them. The barrage of rockets that appeared in the sky of Haifa seemed serious, Iron Dome which costs 100 thousand dollars per shot, seemed to be overwhelmed by the incoming rockets. Some anothers were reported to have fallen directly while the settlers were saving themselves, in the center of Israeli third most populous metropolis, one of the two main ports, which serves as an entry and exit point for various goods including military weapons. Some of the rocket impacts fell, and one of them caused the most intensive explosion in Haifa Bay due to the failed interception of the defenses. Currently, several rockets have been reported to have fallen, and shrapnel in about 150 locations in the Haifa area and its surroundings. So far, there have been no reports of casualties. At the same time as Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General, Sheikh Naim Qassem was giving a speech, 100 rockets immediately happening to the heart of Haifa. He said in his direct speech that "The leadership and control in the resistance are carefully organized, following the practices established by Hezbollah, and we have dealt a painful blow. This large coalition of enemies Israel, the United States and the West intends to pressure and intimidate us, but we are not afraid of them," Sheikh Naim Qassem said. Meanwhile, the death toll from the US-backed Israeli aggression continues to rise daily in Gaza to 41,965 and 97,590 injured since October 7, not including the martyrs from the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran.

  2811. Americans are “not allowed” to talk freely about healthcare problems on US media and must go to Russian TV “to tell the truth,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told RT DE in Berlin in August 2020. He singled out RT America as the “only station” where he was free to express his opinion on the US healthcare system and its inadequacies. Kennedy was an outspoken critic of the US Covid-19 response during the pandemic. Often accused of being an ‘anti-vaxxer’, he has brushed off the claims, stressing that the only thing he opposed was administering drugs that have not been safety-tested. Kennedy claimed that the entire US vaccine industry was “an artifact” of the old “quasi-military” public health system introduced during the Cold War as a “national security defense against biological attacks” by Russia. According to him, the laws regulating vaccines were written with a “loophole” that allowed pharmaceutical companies to forgo time-consuming safety tests if they did not call a drug a medicine. This was done in order to deploy vaccines quickly and with no regulatory impediments, but resulted in a “gold rush to put more vaccines on the table” as pharmaceutical companies “took advantage of that old military loophole” to boost profits. “You know why people don’t know it? Because there’s censorship. I’m not allowed to talk about that on American TV… I do talk about it on RT America – it’s the only station that lets me talk about it,” he stated. - RT

  2833. The whole sordid charade is only postponing the reality that the proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is a debacle for the Western powers. This is not something to gloat over. It is a tragedy and an abomination. Up to 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, as well as tens of thousands of Russian military personnel. Total casualty figures are no doubt in the millions. In addition, millions of civilians have been displaced as refugees in Russia and throughout Europe. Hundreds of billions of dollars and euros have been raided from Western taxpayers to fund this bloody fiasco. Not only that but international tensions have been heightened between nuclear powers at a perilous pitch not seen since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 at the depth of the Cold War. Blinken seemed to be concerned with papering over cracks appearing in various media reports indicating that the U.S. is surreptitiously telling the Kiev regime to cut its losses and make a sort of peace deal with Russia. Blinken’s bravado rhetoric is akin to empty U.S. promises previously made to Afghanistan and countless other proxy regimes over the decades before Washington ignominiously pulls the plug and does a runner. All the NATO and EU talk is public relations bluster to conceal the brutal reality that the United States and its Western allies have created a monumental morass of misery for Ukraine by pursuing their nefarious geopolitical games to confront Russia. The rest of Europe and indeed the whole world has paid a terrible price for these imperial games. The futile and reckless war in Ukraine has been decades in the making since the supposed end of the Cold War in 1990. The treacherous breaking of promises by American presidents, especially Bill Clinton and George W Bush, to Russia to not expand NATO and the insidious inveigling of Ukraine to join the alliance from 2008 onwards – all led to the current eruption of conflict. - LewRockwell

  2840. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian Paratroopers from the 51st Regiment of the 106th Airborne Division filmed the situation in the settlement of Krasnooktyabrskoye, which was liberated after launching a fairly large-scale counterattack on the Kursk front on Wednesday. A video confirming this came from a settlement located northwest of Snagost, showing the decisive actions of the paratroopers' reconnaissance unit clearing the Gaponovsky forest and the area around the settlement. Careful work helped to keep the settlement intact, the area was cut off by a sudden Russian counterattack. The lucky Ukrainian troops retreated across the fields, those who could not escape were killed or captured. However, Krasnooktyabrskoye was captured without significant resistance. Among the foreign equipment seized is an International MaxxPro armored vehicle from the United States. The remarkable progress in Kursk is not only from Krasnooktyabrskoye since the counterattack. Photos and videos from the Russian side show Russian marines applying pressure, fighting against Ukrainian troops. Clashes like the one in the footage were reported around Troitskoye and Elizavetovka across the border, while Russian forces were advancing from Korenevo towards Snagost. Russian marines took the lead in the attack with armor group, driving back and firing on Zelensky’s forces, who were trying to fight back against the Russian Armed Forces. Despite the dire situation and the ambitions of their commander, at least five more Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk chose to save their lives rather than continue fighting. Faced with advancing Russian forces, they surrendered by laying down their weapons and raising their hands in surrender. The situation after the clearing in the liberated areas may actually be much worse than it appears on the map. Within a short time, several settlements such as Apanasovka, Byakhovo, Vishnevka, Viktorovka, Vnezapnoe, Gordeevka, Krasnooktyabrskoe, Obukhovka, Snagost and Desyatoye Oktyabrya returned to Russian Armed Forces control, leaving behind piles of destroyed equipment, dead and wounded Ukrainian soldiers beginning to accumulate on the front lines.

  2841. China and Russia were warning the West that they would not allow the West to attack Iran or shutdown oil exports from Saudi Arabia and Iran destined for China. The Chinese and Russian forces represent a trip wire that the United States and Israel must weigh as they contemplate an attack on Iran, such as hitting its oil refineries. The Chinese are flexing a little military muscle, but their real power is in the expansion of diplomatic relations with the Gulf Arabs and Iran. China played a decisive role in the rapprochement this year between longtime adversaries, Saudi Arabia and Iran. China’s diplomatic initiative destroyed the U.S. policy of trying to ramp up friction between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It is no longer an “open question” how this affects policy in the Middle East — Saudi Arabia and Iran are siding with the Palestinians and condemning Israel’s actions. They have dethroned Washington, DC as the dominant force in the Middle East. - Sonar21 Why is the United States once again bombing Syria, placing warships right on their doorstep in the Middle East?

  2852. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Strong footage of a powerful assault by the Airborne Assault Battalion of the 40th Guards Kamchatka Marine Brigade, shows the landing of stormtroopers on the front line, threatening the cauldron of the Armed Forces of Ukraine group in the town of Ugledar south of Donetsk. The Russian military correspondent shared the video on September 21, 2024, showing how the Russian assault force in an armored vehicle, successfully landed, attacked Zelensky's men, and occupied their stronghold. The thrilling assault was not without the work of scouts, where previously the Supercam unmanned aerial vehicle of the Pacific Fleet Marine Brigade, detected enemy positions, and the military equipment they were hiding. The Supercam UAV is used for in-depth reconnaissance, flying up to 70 kilometers into the enemy's rear, is almost silent and its integrated camera is the best in its class. The personnel and weapons found were destroyed on the same day, then the stormtroopers entered the next day. The Russian channel showed on the map the direction of the attack, after forcing Kashlagach River, the Kamchatka Marine Brigade continued to advance, and expanded the bridgehead west of Ugledar. The group of about 8 stormtroopers, in addition to driver, continued to bypass the Ukrainian defenses, hitting with shot after shot from close range directly in the enemy trenches, and without losses on the Russian side. They also attacked with FPV drones, eliminating Kiev personnel, and burning their equipment. As a result of the successful landing, the Marines occupied an important stronghold near Ugledar, which threatened to encircle the town. This meant that the town would soon be squeezed, the prospect of holding positions in such conditions was not encouraging for the Ukrainian troops still entrenched there. On the same day on the Ugledar cauldron, video footage was published of the breakthrough, where Kashlagach River and the advance to Novoukrainka began. More than 20 square kilometers of territory were liberated by Russian stormtroopers from the tank formations of the Vostok group from Buryatia, after fighting at the recently liberated Prechistovka. The ranks of Ukrainian soldiers wavered, about 12 men from the 58th Infantry Brigade, who valued life more than the Nationalist ideals, laid down their weapons, and raised their hands in repose. The surviving tank crew prisoners, lucky for the time being, spoke in a video published by Buryatia stormtroopers.

  2863. Cardinal Müller condemned the killing of the unborn as ‘infanticide’ and likened it to the ‘Nazi times,’ stressing how previous popes and bishops ‘had no fear to excommunicate’ for grave crimes. The former prefect of the Vatican’s highest doctrine office, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, condemned U.S. President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, saying it is “infanticide” and that those promoting “infanticide” should be “excommunicated.” “The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person,” said Gerhard Cardinal Müller. “There’s no right to kill another person. It’s absolutely against the Fifth Commandment.” The cardinal made his comments condemning President Joe Biden during an extensive interview with LifeSiteNews in Rome. His forthright critique of Biden’s very public and consistent pro-abortion stance came shortly after the president used his 2024 State of the Union Address to promise to “restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.” Cardinal Müller likened the killing of the unborn and the elderly to the “Nazi” times, saying that “it’s absolutely unacceptable that you can say you are a Catholic and promote and justify killing of human persons, human beings [from] the beginning in the mother’s womb, until the last respiration [with] euthanasia… Killing of ill people, like in the Nazi times, is euthanasia. Biden is very public about his self-professed Catholic faith, but Cardinal Müller suggested that while Biden is “nominally a Catholic, in reality he is a Nihilist. It’s cynicism and absolute cynicism.” Drawing on the example of St. Ambrose of Milan and his excommunication of the Emperor Theodosius, Cardinal Müller commented how “in other times people like this would be excommunicated. In former times the Popes and the bishops had no fear to excommunicate, like St. Ambrose of Milan.” Reiterating the truth that God is “creator of every body and we humans are only the administrator of the good will of God,” Cardinal Müller observed that humanity was called to care for fellow men, since “we cannot distinguish or separate the love of God for us and our love for God, from the love of us to our neighbor and the love of our neighbor to us.” Promoters of infanticide are excommunicated Following Biden’ State of the Union address, LifeSite has launched a public action call for the U.S. bishops to excommunicate the pro-abortion president. Questioned directly by this reporter about the endeavor, Cardinal Müller stated that “the first step must be that we [must] have the unanimous U.S. bishops conference, probably together with other Christian religious, other religious leaders, [give] an absolute, clear, strong statement that this [abortion] is against all the standards and principles of humanity.” Such a statement would be along these lines: “That they [would say] absolutely clearly that everybody in public responsibility who, as a Catholic, is promoting this infanticide, that they are excommunicated.” - LewRockwell

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – In Malaya Loknya, FPV drones are working harder, minus many of Ukrainian vital equipment and some of its personnel amidst the relentless onslaught by the Russian Armed Forces, continue to pin down the sector. Sources released by military channel of Rassvet Group on February 16, 2025, show how the Marines and Airborne units, a barrage of attacks beat the enemy from Malaya Loknya area, from the early morning using kamikaze drones. A position of Ukrainian equipment in the yard of a residential house was wiped out by FPV, and the Ukrainian Paratroopers of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade will not be able to continue their mission in the settlement in Kursk region, which will open the way for a deeper Russian advance. At the same time, fighting continues a little to the north of the settlement. The use of FPV drones continues to provide Russian forces with a strategic advantage, neutralizing Ukrainian assets with precision, apparently recently installed by a Kiev soldier. Later, the next FPV arrives at a warehouse, where Ukrainian troops are unable to take cover from Russian drone operators. FPV continued to target several Ukrainian vehicles, which maintained control of their defensive lines as pressure on their supply routes grew. The footage confirms precision strikes on three vehicles of various types, eroding Ukrainian resistance in the sector. The successful assaults on Malaya Lokhnya is in line with the wider Russian advance, the Ukrainian position is becoming more vulnerable, forcing a costly troop withdrawal or reinforcements, and the liberation of the settlement is expected to occur in the near future!

  2896. As could be expected, immediately upon receipt of “authorization” from Biden, Ukraine reportedly launched an ATACMS strike on the Russian 67th GRAU depot in Bryansk region. Though Putin had to make some escalatory show, it’s more realistic to expect Russia not to react in any overt way until Trump’s term settles in. Putin is aware that an outgoing senile despot who doesn’t care if the world burns behind him may seek to start WWIII, and that Zelensky may see his final two months’ chance to provoke Russia into overreacting. As such, it’s best for Russia to do nothing, and continue grinding the offensives which are destroying Ukrainian lines everywhere. Last major news that you’re hearing here for the first time: A couple months back, you may recall World Bank announced that as per their calculations, Russia had finally surpassed both Germany and Japan in GDP PPP. However, the official IMF and CIA figures still scoffed at this, with Russia trailing both countries on their counts. This allowed the popular narrative to be maintained that the World Bank figures were some kind of inaccurate fluke or anomaly. Well, the IMF has just done their latest report and has officially concluded that Russia has blown past both Germany and Japan as of 2024, and is now the number four economy in the world. And not only that, but the IMF has Russia in the lead by an even larger margin than World Bank. On top of which, the CIA also updated their numbers and likewise reflects Russia at the number four position. That means it’s official—every global institution of note has now validated that Russia is the number four economy in the world, after only China, US, and India. The most remarkable shift is that according to the IMF’s updated numbers, the Russian economy is now 15% larger than the German one when it felt like only recently that Russia had even officially surpassed Germany. The truth is, Germany and the EU are in absolute free fall, while Russia is experiencing an unprecedented economic boom. - Simplicius

  2900. A New York Times exposé outs years of unsavory details about the Ukraine's relationship with the CIA, while a Ukrainian spy chief swats down U.S. messaging. Is a breakup at hand? Over the weekend the New York Times published an epic exposé. “The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin,” by Adam Entous and Mitchell Schwirtz, described a decade of CIA-Ukrainian cooperation, featuring details that would never reach public ears under normal circumstances. The opening is worth quoting at length. Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed…But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders… The listening post in the Ukrainian forest is part of a C.I.A.-supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border. Yowza! Officials have long scolded the public that even minor disclosures of “sources and methods” could “risk lives” and must be prevented at all costs. Yet here comes the Times, helping “current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe” blab a long list of extraordinary details, down to the number of CIA-supported secret bases along the Russian border. When intelligence sources line up by the hundred to fill newspapers with “secret” details, they’re almost always doing one of two things: spreading disinformation, or “pre-bunking” embarrassing future revelations. The lavishly overwritten “secret untold story” that puts advance spin on ugly leaks has become a popular genre across this century’s many giant intelligence screwups. In the wake of multiple disclosures since then suggesting Brennan’s conclusion was “cooked intelligence” and his supposed “longtime source” with access to the “highest level of the Kremlin” was anything but, the Post story in retrospect reads like a grand piece of inspired BS, designed to “pre-bunk” inevitable leaks about Brennan’s sourcing. Same with the absurdly vivid accounts in The Guardian and The New Yorker of the alleged British capture of suspicious “interactions” and “illicit communications” between Trump and Russia in 2015 that supposedly triggered the American collusion investigation. Those stories too now read like elaborate spin jobs, put out to defuse future questions about the origins of that investigation. - LewRockwell

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Toretsk in Donetsk region, is now encircled by the offensive forces of the Russian Armed Forces, with a scary beginning to set in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the center of the mine town. Open sources reported on September 20, 2024, that the battle continues for the town in the urban area, Russian troops continue to advance despite resistance attempts from Ukraine, and from the sound of gunfire, the intensity of the fighting seems to be clearly visible. Footage from a GoPro camera, taken from the point of view of a killed Ukrainian soldier, special forces of the Battalion "Eney" or Lyut Brigade, shows the atmosphere of difficult fighting, the Ukrainian soldiers in the video fled from their lost positions, tried to hide in the rubble storied building, where they seem to be knocked out in the end. Meanwhile, The Separate Assault Lyut Brigade of the National Police of Ukraine, shared footage of their fighting on the streets of Toretsk, after their reserve group arrived there in a vehicle. According to reports on street fighting between the Ukrainian military and Russian troops, they fired RPG thermobaric rocket launchers into a building, where Russian soldiers were taking up positions. Regardless of the reports, but the video shows no evidence of the presence of Russian soldiers in the building, and it appears that the RPG ammunition was discharged just like that! Ukrainian sources acknowledged the consolidation of Russian forces in the center of Toretsk, and the acceleration of the advance of Russian forces during the assault on the town. Russia is tenaciously taking control of every building, and will gradually liberate the town from Zelensky’s troops. Let us remember that the situation in Donetsk region has turned into a disaster for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As entire units fled, the configuration of the front line changed unfavorably to Ukraine, and there were no longer any reserves to stop or reverse this trend. One of the Ukrainian soldiers captured on the outskirts of Toretsk, Viktor Pavlushin, spoke extensively about the dire situation in their ranks.

Zelensky’s life and career as a cheap television gigolo flashed before his eyes, as he stumped in the Oval Office today, while Trump and Vance took turns flagellating him like the mewling fraud that he is. If you haven’t watched any of it, I implore you to behold the 10-minute debacle above—it’s unlike anything you’ll ever see between world ‘leaders’. Trump and Vance made a brilliant tag team on Zelensky, who was relegated to the stature of a small choirboy. One of the highlights which may not have been captured in the video above included the following, where Zelensky again was treated like an abject interloper, a scrawny pipsqueak, and mocked for his irreverent dress: But this exchange highlights precisely the main takeaway—which is that the artificially constructed image of Zelensky is no longer useful and has been tossed away like a used rag. All the false bravado and olive drab khakis—it all served a purpose for the past three years, with Zelensky built up like some kind of John Rambo-Churchill. The ‘sacred’ attire would have never been questioned before, because it represented the theater of it all, the carefully stage-managed production. Now that the play has run its course, failing to turn a profit, the ‘act’ has grown old and we’re immediately allowed a view under the costume. Now Zelensky has really outdone himself—when even Lindsey Graham calls for your resignation, you know the Ides of March are near: - Simplicius

  2938. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – New Syria, literally after the overthrow of Assad by Al-Qaeda, was under between 100-150 violent bombardments by Israeli regime aircraft overnight on December 9, 2024. Israel took advantage of the rebel euphoria with the country's ongoing unrest, bombarding heavily against western, eastern, northern and southern Syria, which according to the Russian Foreign Minister has become “the subject of another geopolitical experiment”. In Latakia, a city in northwestern Syria that has existed for more than 4,000 years, the occupation's warplanes launched a series of heavy bombardments against key infrastructure used by Syrian military in the port, located 20 km from Russian main air base in Syria and has been used for logistical support to Russian Khmeimim Air Base. A series of explosions rocked violently, destroying "warships", sinking the entire remaining Syrian Navy fleet, Syrian Media reported. In addition to New Syrian Navy which has just been sunk, scenes of massive destruction after the occupation's intense shelling continue, shaking Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Tartus, Daraa and Damascus countryside, which Israel claims are targeting infrastructure, military installations, scientific research, defense laboratories and military airports belonging to Syrian Army. In Damascus, it was reported that Zionist planes with a very cruel attack and using heavy missiles, destroyed the headquarters of the "Electronic Warfare Department" and the "Scientific Research Center", and destroying "military helicopters" at "Aqraba Airport. So far, there are no complete reports and details of the extent of the damage, considering that the Zionists launched an air operation, the largest in recent decades, to destroy all the advanced and strategic military capabilities remaining in Syria. In more than about 250 attacks in just a few days, there was no reaction and intervention from the leadership of the New Syria, to prevent the ongoing destruction of Syrian capabilities. "It seems that no one should be happy with the overthrow of Assad by Al-Qaeda terrorists, the group that says "Assad must go", did not learn from history. They are aware of it or not, knowing or not knowing anything, working for the goals and interests of Zionists while the West celebrates it as "liberation", according to experts.

  2977. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine flee in disarray, abandoning their weapons and ammunition on the front lines, during the liberation of Prechistovka by the Russian Armed Forces. On September 4, 2024, the Russian Defense Ministry officially confirmed the liberation of the village in South Donetsk by soldiers of the 40th Marine Brigade, the 155th Marine Brigade, and Motorized Riflemen of the Eastern Military District. Three soldiers of the 155th Marine Brigade, confirmed live on video their victory on the battlefield, successfully driving Zelensky's expired men out of Prechistovka. Ukrainian military analyst DeepState, which is connected to Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate, acknowledged the loss of Prechistovka by the end of September 3, that Russian forces had captured the remaining western part of Prechistovka, and established control along a forest strip stretching for 3.4 kilometers. A few days ago, Russian marines were reported to have advanced, and broken through the Ukrainian defenses in this village. Assault troops from Buryatia or Eastern Siberia, cleared the village, attacking the Ukrainian formation’s stronghold, which was a key part of the Ugledar group’s defenses. Drone footage showed an armored assault detachment of the 5th Tank Brigade and the 40th Marines, involving about 10 infantry fighting vehicles of various types and a motorcycle squad, charging in large numbers against the Ukrainian group. The armored troops closed in, then dismounted infantry were seen attacking the Ukrainian trenches at close range, shaking off enemy troops in their hideout in Prechistovka, which has now been taken. During the liberation of the village, drone footage from the 40th Marine Brigade captured the moment when Zelensky's remaining troops fled in panic to save their lives. The mass desertion of Ukrainian units of the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade and infantry formations of the 68th Jaeger Brigade was recorded, rapidly retreating towards Zolotaya Niva, and likely taking advantage for a few days. Establishing control over Prechistovka, would ultimately cut off the supply of the Ukrainian fortified area of Ugledar, and a large-scale attack on it would be imminent!

  2980. The Russian military has destroyed two Ukrainian Soviet-era Uragan multiple rocket launchers, footage that emerged online on Saturday shows. The launchers were parked near a local mall located on the northwestern outskirts of the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. Infrared drone footage circulating on social media shows an Uragan launcher and a pickup truck parked overnight near the Planeta Mall with a group of people seen near the vehicles. The second Uragan joined the group shortly thereafter. The launchers were apparently set to be transported on two large flatbed trucks seen nearby. However, the vehicles ended up being hit by a high-precision munition, presumably a Russian-made Iskander tactical ballistic missile. The launchers were set aflame by the strike, with one of them suffering a major secondary detonation, which heavily damaged the Planeta Mall. The moment of the detonation was captured on video by onlookers living in residential buildings nearby. The local authorities acknowledged the strike, while local police released photos from the scene and condemned Russia’s “daily strikes” on the region. The police carefully avoided showing any evidence that the strike actually targeted the two rocket launchers, showing instead the damage inflicted on the mall and other structures. Ukrainian forces have throughout the conflict frequently made use of shopping malls, civilian warehouses, and other similar facilities for military purposes. Kiev’s forces have also routinely used Uragan launchers, as well as other multiple rocket launchers, including Czech-supplied Vampire systems, to indiscriminately shell Russia’s border regions, including the city of Belgorod. The Ukrainian military ramped up such strikes following its botched attempt to break through the border in mid-March. - RT

  2984. Hunter’s Irony Circus: The Fascist Elite Lecturing on Democracy! Ah, Hunter Biden, the self-styled torchbearer of "democracy," gracing us with his anxieties about “fascist minorities” taking over America. Yes, that Hunter - Mr. Burisma, the very embodiment of cronyism, cozying up to corrupt fascist-oligarchs from Ukraine to Wall Street. Let’s review, shall we? The same man who raked in millions off the back of his father’s influence now fears the erosion of democracy? First, there’s Hunter’s family legacy. For years, Joe Biden, the ever-obliging Washington lifer, has supported Washington's strategic “investments” in Ukraine - and we’re not talking aid for peace but an endless stream of dollars funneled to ultra-nationalist battalions, from Azov to Aidar. Washington bankrolls these battalions via fascist puppets in Ukraine, whose neo-Nazi flags proudly fly, all while painting itself as the paragon of freedom and democracy. It’s an exquisite irony: Hunter’s “democratic” family is in bed with the same factions that openly espouse the fascist ideologies he claims to loathe. But we can't ignore the cherry on top of this irony sundae: AIPAC and Israel. The Bidens sing praises to democracy while propping up Israel's apartheid regime, a state that’s carpet-bombing Gaza with impunity, bulldozing Palestinian homes, and snuffing out lives with a ferocity that would make any fascist regime blush. And Hunter’s talking about the threat of “fascism”? Hunter, the heir to this gilded hypocrisy, isn’t worried about democracy. He’s worried about power slipping through his father’s fingers - and his own, by extension. This isn’t about protecting democracy; it’s about ensuring that the oligarch-backed, lobby-controlled elite (hello, AIPAC!) can continue their game unchecked. If “fascism” was truly his concern, maybe he should look a little closer to home. Hunter, let’s be honest, is the last person to lecture anyone on democracy. His “concerns” are as hollow as his family’s commitment to justice - empty platitudes from the dynasty of the protected, weaponizing the fear of fascism to guard their empire of hypocrisy. - Gerry Nolan The Islander News for Intel Republic

  3026. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian FAB smart bombs continue to fly and fall on Ukrainian military positions, one of which is Ukrainian UAV control command post in the settlement of Myropillia in Sumy region near border of Kursk region. On January 31, 2025, the Russian Defense Ministry released combat footage, a pair of Su-35 and Su-34 fighter jets are actively working in Kursk border area, where recently the order was given to Kiev's troops to deliberately commit atrocities against civilians in the region. Su-35 aircraft escorted Su-34 fighter-bombers, which were carrying high-explosive FAB aerial bombs, and then threw the FABs like candy, flying right into one of UAV control command posts of Zelensky's troops. Ukrainian sources continue to report that Russia is running out of aerial bombs, missiles and another ammunition and its victories in Kursk region! The fact that Ukraine continues to suffer losses every day! Russian Su-35 and Su-34 fighter-bombers significantly outperform in maneuverability, which is important for close air combat at a distance of 30-50 km. The crews of Su-35 fighters not only carried out strike missions, but also provided air cover for Su-34 bomber, ground attack aircraft and military aircraft during the attack on an important command post in Myropillia after objective control was carried out by a detachment of UAV from the Donbass Wild Division. Thus, FAB accurately hit its target and leveled it to the ground, as shown in the footage released by Russian channels on February 2 during combat work on January 31. Preliminary estimates indicate that Ukrainian army lost up to dozens of military personnel at UAV control center, who were most likely flying drones towards Kursk. Kiev's invasion on Kursk is the most failed mission in history, according to experts. Since the start of the invasion, Ukrainian losses have increased to more than 56,980 soldiers, 329 tanks, 243 infantry fighting vehicles, 191 armored personnel carriers, 1,681 armored combat vehicles, 1,774 motor vehicles, 402 artillery pieces, 45 MLRS launchers, including 13 HIMARS and 6 US-made MLRS, 16 anti-aircraft missile launchers, 8 transport-loading vehicles, 106 EW stations, 15 anti-battery warfare radars, 5 air defense radars, 33 engineering and other material units, including 14 anti-obstacle vehicles, 1 UR-77 mine-clearing vehicle, 9 armored recovery vehicles, and 1 command post vehicle. The operation to neutralize Ukrainian units is ongoing, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on February 3.

  3053. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Early this morning on August 18, 2024, the Russian Armed Forces assault troops began the main phase of their attacks on the mining town of “Toretsk”, or the Ukrainian name “Dzerzhinsk”, after making new advances from several points. Since yesterday, a Russian combat command post has been showing video from there, documenting the destruction of a Hummer vehicle, burning in the attack. A Russian soldier opened small arms fire on the Ukrainian crew, wiping out the remaining luck of the passengers who might still be alive. NATO vehicles used Russia as a springboard to destroy Zelensky’s troops, clearing most of Pivnichny. Toretsk lost its last Ukrainian defensive position to the west to Russian positions. This is due in no small part to the capabilities of Russian soldiers, who have taken over the Artem mine tailings on the outskirts of the town. Now, the Shtorm assault unit of the 1st Slavia Brigade is raising a flag on a strategically important height, and will increase the range of its FPV drones by installing a repeater there, while at the same time reducing the range of Ukrainian drones. For the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Toretsk, since yesterday it started with a run. As a result of the use of leaflets dropped by Russian drones, all military personnel units mobilized by Kiev and suffering heavy losses, decided to collectively lay down their arms and save their lives. It seems that the situation in Ukraine is about to change rapidly, with the simultaneous entry of Russian troops from three directions, marking the beginning of the ongoing fierce battle inside the city. According to reports, Russian assault units are breaking through with armored vehicles, infantry attacks, supported by artillery, are carried out in groups of 3 men. This attack seems to be costing many lives, and equipment is scarce for Ukraine, forcing soldiers from Brigade 53, to personally announce an online fundraising to get the EW systems they need. But the Kiev regime insists on focusing its attention on Kursk, and asking its Western allies to remove “obstacles” as “the course of the war demands.”

  3057. Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, has accused Ukrainian forces of hitting a children’s hospital with an air defense missile, declaring that if a Russian missile had struck the building, “there would be nothing left.” In an address to the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Dr. Vladimir Zhovnir, the director of Kiev’s Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, accused Russia of deliberately striking the facility on Monday. Two people died and scores were injured in the blast, Zhovnir claimed, calling the incident “not just a war crime, [but] far beyond the limit of humanity.” “Does Mr. Zhovnir understand that if it was a Russian missile, there would be nothing left of the building?” Nebenzia responded. “Children and adults would have died rather than been injured.” Nebenzia explained that Russian forces targeted the Artemov missile plant in Kiev on Monday, and that “this target was hit.” “Since the plant is located approximately 2km from the children’s hospital, there is every reason to believe that the Ukrainian air defense missile that hit it was intended for a Russian missile that hit the plant,” he stated, adding that “this tragedy could have been avoided if the Ukrainian Armed Forces had not deployed air defense in residential areas.” The Russian Defense Ministry has also explicitly denied striking the hospital. In an official statement on Monday, the ministry said that “photos and video footage from Kiev clearly confirm” that the building was hit by a falling “Ukrainian air defense missile launched from an anti-aircraft missile system within the city.” - RT

  3065. Ukraine is not keeping up with Russian recruitment whatsoever, as numbers for the new ‘mobilization’ continue to look dire. Even police from cities like Kharkov have reportedly been thinned out and sent to the front: Not only do the AFU tankmen say the Abrams isn’t properly armored for modern combat, they speak of its various breakdowns and inability to withstand the terrain. MSM reports that the U.S. stopped even sending the Excalibur guided artillery round because it has performed so dismally, continually jammed by Russian EW This leaves the Russian Krasnopol as king of the battlefield, which continues not only performing daily, but whose use has vastly increased. Just in the past few days alone we’ve seen footage of Abrams, M109s, and other high profile Western systems all taken out with the Krasnopol. Now the West is increasingly worried about Russia’s unparalleled industrial achievements. Zelensky admits they have “no long range 155mm” rounds at all: So much for that NATO artillery superiority. the actual truth entirely revolves around needing to escalate the conflict to save the AFU, which is collapsing. It has nothing to do with hitting Russian supply lines which are way out of reach anyway, and everything to do with the escalation creep of triggering Russia’s red lines and slowly wedging NATO into the conflict. In the meantime, the U.S. empire continues to go down in a flaming wreck before our eyes: The U.S. Empire has never looked so utterly exhausted, defeated, and bereft of any redeeming moral standing or leadership qualities as it does now: The optics have never been worse—it is truly an Empire in total terminal decline, its entrails strewn across the globe for all to see. - Simplicius

  3082. The following brought you by demented Biden! There are a lot of goings on, as the world continues to slide toward the brink. Texas governor Abbott has pulled the trigger on directly challenging the Federal government on the border issue: Republican governors are considering sending their national guards to Texas. Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma pledged to do so on video. In another video Governor Stitt called it a powder keg situation, sending echoes of Fort Sumter through many in the blogosphere. Desantis has already even vocalized plans to undercut Biden’s scheme of ‘federalizing’ the national guards to take control of them. Desantis plans to do this by potentially sending the ‘state guard’ which he says cannot be federalized. In fact, Desantis’s speech is a good one, even though it veers a bit off topic. But he brings up salient points about how Biden has abused federal authority in sending national guards to foreign lands like Syria and Iraq for obscure missions they were never meant to carry out. Biden immediately retaliated by announcing the suspension of LNG exports: While this has long been in consideration under the pressure of of environmental groups, the timing has clearly left many declaring it an obvious attack on Texas, given that Texas is the premier LNG hub in the US: Governor Abbott and Speaker Johnson were fuming at this obvious direct attack: Almost everything that’s currently happening is an incredible victory handed to the Russian axis. The wagons are circling and Biden has created a dangerous no-win situation for his regime. If he goes in with federal action, not only does he risk sparking civil war, but even at best he risks openly exposing the Democrat plan to forcibly slam in as many illegal immigrants as possible. The regime has to play it a little ‘cooler’ to conceal their rabid intentions to undermine American democracy. But it’s certainly an ominous sign for things to come and gives us an early look at the type of black swan event they could use to thwart the electoral process this year to maintain their hold on power. This flare-up has spurred a host of underground voices to the surface, who now send warning signs about the devastating choices the Biden administration is making. One such example is a new letter being circulated that is co-signed by a slew of former FBI executive directors: It’s clear the Biden administration is courting catastrophe from every conceivable direction. And following this border debacle, it was only a given that any talk of Ukrainian aid would again collapse: While this is going on, Yemen has hit another British tanker, which reports claim is burning and liable to sink: It further showcases that the Western hegemonic bloc is losing control of the situation, and no amount of effort is helping. Jake Sullivan has been dispatched to “press” beg China to intervene with Iran in curbing the Houthi attacks that are entirely unpantsing the United States Navy: If news wasn’t bad enough for the West, the ICJ finally issued a ruling on the Israeli genocide case, tacitly informing Israel it must stop its killing: South Africa achieved something momentous, opening the door for many further legal challenges to Israel in the future, but more importantly tarnishing Israel’s actions with the stamp of validation from the highest international human rights judiciary. It shows that even ‘smaller’ countries can have major impact when they have greater courage than the ‘big countries’, and stick to principles. The last major news item deals with Ukraine’s shoot down of the Russian Il-76 carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs set to be exchanged. It is now confirmed without a shadow of a doubt that the plane was carrying the POWs, and Ukraine was informed of this fact. A quite gruesome new extended video of some of the bodies can be seen here. - Simplicius

  3086. Comedown After Post-Aid 'High' Brings West Back to Reality In fact, just days ago Ukraine’s head of the aerial reconnaissance support center, Maria Berlinskaya, stated that “most Western systems have proven to be [worthless]” because Russian EW neutralizes them It was also revealed that much of the gear was already forward-stationed and merely awaiting the final approval, and has begun streaming in from Poland. In fact, some of it was already secretly given a week or two ago, such as in the case of the ATACMS missiles The problem is, amid the wave of drunken excitement over the new aid, there have been many sober voices making efforts to temper the wild flights of exaggerated optimism. And the main issue is now rearing its head more than ever: out of the several disastrous problems plaguing the AFU, the supply issue is not even its biggest; that dishonorable distinction goes to the lack of usable manpower. As for mobilization, here’s Ukrainian lawyer Rostislav Kravets and Arestovich both separately revealing that there are reportedly over 100,000 deserters in the AFU: This is utterly shocking because they are talking about actual deserters who were already fighting on the front or in military units—not men who fled the country to avoid service; those, as we all know, already number in potentially the millions. No, this is much worse. These are actual deserters from the already-thinning frontline, which is said to have a measly ~250-300k men or less. As such it represents a catastrophic morale. It’s another wake up call to those who actually believe Kiev’s casualty numbers. Tens of thousands of confirmed POWs, 100k deserters, but only 30k killed? Of course the most disgusting of the lies is the suggestion that the young will only be used to operate drones and technological things, implying they’ll be safely in the ‘rear’ as most drone operators are. In reality, they will be sent as fodder to the zero line. Their excuse for the blatant indifference to threat escalation is the canard that Russia is weak, would never use nukes, and that 90% of the Russian army has already been destroyed. In fact, we now know it’s the opposite: So, it is in fact Ukraine that lost 90% of its army in the literal first days of the war, and has reconstituted it several times, while the Russian army is now bigger and stronger than before. In essence, Europe is like a gang of frightened monkeys hiding behind each other, trying to pull the bear’s tail, drawing group ‘courage’ from each other, but running frantically at the sight of a single member’s panic. Now Ukraine faces major battlefield breakthroughs as Russian forces have been steamrolling AFU in a variety of important positions and fronts, capturing Ocheretyne and Novobakhmutovka earlier: As well as major portions of Krasnogorovka: The AFU’s own sources write that the collapse has been nearly catastrophic: - Simplicius

  3110. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - A group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were surprised by a sudden attack of Russian Lancet ammunition on the front of their armored column on their way to enter one of the settlements in the Kursk region. An Ukrainian soldier captured live footage of the impact of Russian drone flash strike, in a video of the clash that took place on August 11, but some of the footage was only recently posted around August 26, 2024. The intense footage shows a large armored column of Ukrainian Paratroopers, and trying to break through Cherkassky Porechny under fire from Russian Armed Forces. The Ukrainian soldiers were annoyed that the Lancet drone managed to penetrate the armor of a T-64BV tank of their comrades, even though they had tried to shoot the Lancet in the air with small arms. The tank initially tried to keep working, then caught fire. However after the attack, the Ukrainians rushed to protect the surrounding area. Things then got worse for the Ukrainian or NATO armored column, and the Lancet kamikaze drone flew into another armored vehicle in their column, as shown in a part of video released by the Russian Defense Ministry on August 11. Several vehicles of Kiev troops, such as T-80 tank, were completely burned out with a huge explosion, and then completely destroyed. So far, until August 27, the next Ukraine-NATO armored vehicles are burning out on the good highway of the Kursk region. For more than a week, Russian soldiers have been repelling the attacks of Ukraine, which is defending its presence on Russian land, attacking waves of Ukrainian infantry and another equipment. In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry statement said that Russian army units attacked Ukrainian army armored personnel carriers detected at the Kursk border, with Lancet kamikaze UAV. Lancet drones continue to be a nightmare for Ukrainian forces, as Kiev’s cannon fodder crews try hard to hide their armored personnel carriers in the trees, completely unaware that Russian forces know exactly where they are. The armored vehicles’ march during the Western-backed offensive turned into a shooting battle for Russian forces. Real-time data confirms, that the vehicles are burning.

  3122. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Summary on February 19, 2025 in Kursk region, Russian forces systematically pushed out Ukrainian troops and recaptured the village of Sverdlikovo destroying them with fire from all types of weapons during its liberation. Advancing southeast along the state border, the Russian Armed Forces of the 51st Airborne Parachute Regiment and the 56th Airborne Assault Regiment captured part of the Sudzha-Rylsk highway during the liberation of Sverdlikovo even crossed the border with Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The military department has published footage of the liberation of the village in Sudzha district by Russian assault units, eliminating Ukrainian troops from their previously prepared positions, trying to defend Sverdlikovo but to no avail! During the assault, the days of the miserable troops of Ukraine, where the adventure that began in August 2024 in the region for the Kiev group, were already numbered. Russian paratroopers from two regiments met strong enemy resistance, conducted reconnaissance and search operations, moved from one shelter to another, eliminating them from their positions. Due to the fire support of aviation, artillery and drones, it surprised the Kiev troops who were in shelters and basements, houses, to continue to defend the village, understanding the importance of Sverdlikovo in the defense of Sudzha, but failed. Ukraine gathered reserves, some of which were destroyed by artillery and drones, some were captured. As a result of the attack, the 56th Regiment units captured the western part of the village, and the 51st Guards Parachute Regiment captured the eastern part. So far, it is reported that part of the Kiev troops withdrew from the village and launched 177 drone strikes in response, which were repelled by Russian forces. After the liberation of Sverdlikovo, which was officially announced on February 17 by the Russian Defense Ministry, Russian troops are now cleaning and collecting the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers who refused to surrender from the village, as shown in the infographic video released by Russian military. Officially reported on February 19, Ukraine lost more than 62,040 soldiers in Kursk. The diplomatic storm of the last few days has somewhat overshadowed military events, particularly in Kursk, where Russian forces have recaptured Sverdlikovo, and appear to be preparing a major assault on Sudzha.

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The joint siege of the Syrian Arab Army along with the Russian Armed Forces against various units of the rebel forces against the Syrian government has began following their attacks on the Syrian Army. On November 27, the rebels in Idlib launched their major attack around the western areas of Aleppo Province in Northeastern Syria, the timing of the attack just hours after Netanyahu's warning to Assad about "playing with fire", for supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese struggles, indicating a broader geopolitical strategy coinciding with the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. As in the footage, the rebel forces attacked the Syrian Army with heavy weapons and MANPADS. Furthermore, additional reinforcements of special forces from the Syrian Arab Army arrived at the gates of Aleppo to stop them! The video reportedly shows the Syrian Army's MLRS now shots fire, hitting allied militias positions from the Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (HTS), who are advancing in Aleppo. This is to stop the extremist rebels who violated the de-escalation agreement, started operations that endanger civilians and have reportedly captured the village of Zerbeh from the Assad Army in the area. Western media use the term 'Syrian Opposition' in the context of the conflict in Syria, and this attack as "the occupation by the Assad militias", who defeated the threat of the rebels for now along with Russian forces with heavy artillery fire. In addition, it was reported that the Syrian Arab Army was involved in fierce clashes with al-Nusra rebel units while the joint Russian-Syrian Air Force also took action in the town of Atarib. Aviation prepared for bombing strikes, which hit rebel positions as they advanced west of Aleppo city. According to Syrian sources today on November 28, more than 200 al-Nusra rebels have been neutralized since the offensive began. Regardless of whether Aleppo falls or not, the city has fallen before to President Assad and the possibility of returning Idlib to Syrian government control is currently being discussed.

  3166. Turning to the mid-air collision over the Potomac River last night (Thursday). There is more disturbing news. I have corrected my mistake in my article last night. I learned subsequently that the helicopter was flying south, not north. Apparently, the chopper had flown to CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia and was returning to base at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Pete Hegseth is stalling the release of the name of the pilot who was flying the chopper. Turns out the pilot is a woman with only 500 hours of flight time. As of now, the Department of Defense has refused to identify the woman, which suggests that Trump’s claim that DEI was a possible reason for the collision may be on target. Despite claims that she was an experience pilot, a report from a retired Black Hawk pilot and Crew Chief (it is posted at The Gateway Pundit) tells a different tale: *The single-greatest error in this accident was the decision to fly without a second Crew Chief on the left-hand side of the Blackhawk, who could have provided an extra set of eyes to “look out-and-up” to see the approaching American Airlines Passenger plane. *Night Vision Goggle (NVG) flights result in a sort-of “tunnel vision” for all who wear the NVGs and normal policy in many Army flight units is to force a full crew of 2 pilots and 2 crew chiefs for all NVG flights, so that you always have “eyes out” to both sides of the aircraft, when flying in those conditions. While not mandatory, it is the proper safety call, especially when flying in the vicinity of a busy, major airport such as Reagan Airport (DCA). No matter how competent the pilots and Crew Chiefs may be, this flight needed a second Crew Chief on the left side of the chopper. . . . *Known mistakes by the Blackhawk Flight Crew point to a lack of experience and/or competence. We’ve heard in the media that both pilots were “experienced.” This is just not true. Someone is “blowing smoke” to the media, to President Trump, and to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to “cover their ass.” The collective level of experience of the pilots was not impressive. Their level of experience is like comparing a rookie in the NFL to a second-year player. The pilot had the experience of a second-year player, while the co-pilot was a rookie. This was NOT an experienced crew to be flying at night, near a major airport, without a second crew chief. - sonar21

  3192. Globalists know that nothing drives public policy so much as the fear of impending death. Nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles may have scared the snot out of anyone living through the Cold War, but they were (and still are) the gifts that keep on giving for the military-industrial complex and national security surveillance State. The more catastrophic the consequences of any perceived threat, the more likely that otherwise skeptical human beings will hand over their freedoms in exchange for the elusive promise of personal security. Political systems specialize in exploiting this “Save Me!” impulse for maximum leverage. “Looming apocalypse” is Big Government’s best salesman every year. Ghost stories about “global warming” work the same way. If voters can be convinced that their economic freedom is leading to humanity’s extinction, then they will accept costly regulations and “green energy”-induced inflation. If they can be brainwashed into believing that hydrocarbon energy is evil, then they will actively protest for a future with intermittent yet expensive electric power. If they can be deluded into thinking that only politicians and central bankers can save the planet, then they will embrace communism in order to fight “climate change.” Given the fact that Earth’s climate is always naturally changing — whether humans are alive to notice or not — governments’ success in conditioning gullible people to fear every change in the weather has been remarkably effective in creating voluntary slaves. totalitarianism succeeds only when society’s level of anxiety can be ratcheted up well above eleventy! That’s why every iteration of the so-called “climate emergency” must sound more scary than the last. It’s also why each new season of “Climate Change: the Coming Armageddon” targets children who have never seen old episodes of the boring series. It may be the longest running television program of all time, but ignorant youths — who cannot imagine that their governments would ever lie to them — fall for the dying planet horror show every time. This is the kind of madness that “green” false prophets perpetrate upon unsuspecting peoples — stoking irrational fears in a misanthropic and Machiavellian quest for raw power. today’s globalists obsess over hydrocarbons, “white supremacy,” and “hate” speech. Future generations will see no distinction. Just like the monsters of the past, today’s Deep State agents seize power by manufacturing emergencies. Dictators always arrive on triumphal chariots that run on lies. As with all Deep State initiatives that say one thing while doing its opposite, Germany’s Ethics Council promises the public that it is wholly opposed to suspending “democratic freedoms” but encourages the government to create “supportive framework conditions” — including carbon taxes, personal emissions limits, product bans, and “compensatory payments” to “ongoing neo-colonial dependencies” — that will nudge Germans to do the right thing. Ahh, nothing says freedom like new taxes, forced redistribution of wealth, regulatory kicks to the groin, financial blackmail, and total personal surveillance! Just because the government holds a gun to the back of your head while you make decisions doesn’t mean you are any less free — the unethical Ethics Council says so! - LewRockwell

  3208. According to the report, at least 5,399 civilians suffered from “Ukrainian aggression” last year, with 809 killed, including 51 children – the youngest being a four-month-old girl. On average, at least 15 civilians were reported as victims of Ukrainian military actions daily. The report said that in total, there were over 87,880 recorded cases of Russian civilian targets being hit last year. “On average, 240 strikes were carried out daily over the year, using the entire available arsenal of weapons supplied by the West at the expense of taxpayers of these countries,” the document stated. The Ukrainian military predominantly used 155mm NATO artillery shells equipped with fragmentation, high-explosive, and cluster munitions, according to Rodion Miroshnik, the official tasked by the Russian Foreign Ministry to record alleged Ukrainian atrocities. Kiev also repeatedly engaged in “energy and nuclear terrorism,” according to the report, citing repeated attempts to attack the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and nearby infrastructure in Energodar. Kiev also deliberately targeted ambulances, medical facilities, and medical institutions, thus violating international law. According to the report, Ukrainian drones often hovered over impact sites, targeting rescuers and medics to increase the casualties and deny victims access to lifesaving aid. The report further documented a “large number of attacks” on churches, monasteries, and sacred buildings of the Russian Orthodox Church in frontline zones, resulting in casualties among clergy, parishioners, and novices. In 2024 alone, the Russian authorities completed 163 criminal investigations involving 185 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries accused of crimes against civilians, the report concluded. - RT

  3220. The anti-Syrian propaganda, now virtually non-existent, had for years been relentless. We were told that Assad had simply lost control of the country, and that the US and its allies couldn’t risk having ISIS terrorists running around as a threat and trying to establish a caliphate in Syria because Assad simply wasn’t able to stop them. And whenever he did try, he was conveniently accused of humanitarian offenses. So of course, here comes Uncle Sam to ‘help’ get rid of ISIS, and also Assad – totally without any humanitarian issues, because American bombs aren’t like that. In the process, the CIA and Pentagon spent billions of dollars training and equipping ‘Syrian rebels’, many of whom bailed out to join other jihadist groups, including ISIS and Al-Qaeda, taking their shiny new weapons with them. There’s a glaring parallel here with Ukraine, which risks following a similar trajectory with Western involvement and patronage. Even before the current conflict, the CIA-linked Freedom House and others had questioned the extent to which far-right extremists controlled the country. Major Western media outlets were publishing pieces referencing Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem. So it looks like the same argument could someday be used on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky – that he’s lost control of the country to extremists. And just like the West trained extremists in Syria under the guise of helping, they’ve done the exact same thing in Ukraine by training and equipping the Azov neo-Nazi fighters. Both Iran and Russia had entered the conflict militarily at the request of Assad’s government to help stabilize the country, with Moscow first entering the scene when fighting got too close for comfort to its warm water base for the Black Sea Fleet in Tartus. So basically, Russia was called in to help clean up the mess that the US and NATO had made of the country. And by December 2018, when I asked Russian President Vladimir Putin at his annual press conference whether then-US President Donald Trump was right about ISIS being defeated in Syria, he agreed. Uncle Sam has to stick around to make sure that they never come back, ever again. Guess there’s no chance of just heading home and kicking back with a few beers and waiting to see if it’s actually going to be a problem in the future? Nope! Not when so much has been invested in establishing an in-country military footprint that just happens to be right on top of the biggest pile of Syria’s natural resources – the kind that have been the topic of CIA intelligence directorate reports since at least 1986. In December 2023, Syrian Oil Minister Firas Hassan Kaddour evoked the plan to “liberate” the oil fields from US occupation. Peace in Syria was only possible because of Russia helping to eliminate the troublemakers. The West lost in Syria and still won’t go home. Imagine if it had actually been able to have free run of the place. Maybe there’s something worse than a Russian ‘win’ for Ukraine: Permanent occupiers who use friendship as a pretext to stick around and suck the country dry. - RT

  3229. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - During a reconnaissance mission in the Kursk region, Russian servicemen from the Sever unit of the Northern Group of Forces, grinding the Armed Forces of Ukraine with their notoriously dangerous attack UAV, eliminated fortifications, personnel, and NATO vehicles that they were transporting towards the Russian border. In just a few days, the drones of Sever Group have completed their task, at the peril and great cost to Kiev, which continues to decline in the region after the successful counter-operation of the Russian troops. Today, on the video of September 19, 2024, Sever Group detected a US Stryker armored personnel carrier, driven by Ukrainian soldiers near the settlement of Obody on the territory of Ukraine itself. After analyzing the reconnaissance, Stryker, which decided to leave for Kursk, was completely destroyed by a direct hit of Orion drone. On December 18, a group of Ukrainian soldiers took up positions and camouflaged themselves in a row of trees, trying to attack the Russians. Unbeknownst to them, on the contrary, the Sever Group attack UAV plunged there, and eliminated them with several hits. The drone appeared to be dropping mini-bombs, repeating this over and over again, to make sure that the enemy positions were completely eliminated. In addition, another unrecoverable NATO infantry fighting vehicle, whose name was not mentioned in the report, was targeted by the drone during reconnaissance by Sever Group soldiers in the border zone. A special drone, known as FPV, destroyed the vehicle with a precision strike. The Ukrainian crew did not appear to have gotten out of their vehicle after the fire caused by the encounter with the Russian drone. Video from the previous day, September 17, showed that the Sever Group reconnaissance drone operators observed an interesting scene. They detected Ukrainian armored fighting vehicle moving towards the temporary deployment area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the border area. The detected vehicle was immediately destroyed by a 'bird' attack, FPV drone. Shrapnel from the ammunition smoked other vehicle that were parked nearby. The Russian Defense Ministry said on September 19, about the repelling of Ukrainian invasion on the Kursk region of Russia that the Sever Group carried out offensive actions, causing heavy damage and losses to Ukrainian brigades.

  3232. Transforming the CIA for an Age of Competition – is a shocking display of ignorance and misinformation about Russia, the state of the war in Ukraine and NATO’s military capabilities. Although Burn’s is an educated man and experienced diplomat, this article displays a profound arrogance seasoned with provably false claims. The so-called vision he presents for “transforming the CIA” is a childish fantasy and signals that the CIA is drifting towards being irrelevant as well as incompetent. An intelligence chief like Burns is supposed to bring a non-partisan, objective perspective to an issue like Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine. Burns fails spectacularly on that count. He refuses to acknowledge the role the CIA and Britain’s MI-6 played in sparking the 2014 coup that ousted democratically elected Ukrainian President Yanukovych, which culminated in the Ukrainian military attacking the Russian speaking citizens in the Donbass. That in turn sparked the now ten year civil war and the vote in Crimea to re-join the Russian Federation. Burns is totally disingenuous. He pretends that the West played no role in the subsequent civil war that wracked the Donbass. He ignores the West’s repeated entreaties for Ukraine to join NATO – a firm redline for Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government. And he fails to acknowledge the West’s saber rattling as the U.S. European Command and NATO conducted annual joint military exercises with Ukraine where Russia was the featured foe. Burns’ claims about Russia’s “one-dimensional” economy and weak military capability is beyond shocking. This is the kind of specious claim one normally would expect of a middling university student or a partisan hack. Russia’s economy is anything but one dimensional – it has a robust defense manufacturing capability, is a leader in the production of grain and oil and gas, and is one of the world leaders in supplying critical Rare Earth Elements (aka REE). According to the Foreign Policy Research Institute: After two years of combat in Ukraine, Russia has demonstrated that it can defeat and deter every advanced NATO system provided to Ukraine. Although touted as “game changers” when first supplied to Urkaine – I am referring to the HIMARS, the Javelin anti-tank guided missile and the Patriot missile battery – these systems have proven to be expensive failures. The era of the United States calling the shots and coercing other nations to accede to its policies is coming to an end. When the history of this period is written, the war in Ukraine coupled with the West’s effort to destroy Russia, will be seen as the spark that ignited the fire that burned down the power of the Colonial West. - Sonar21

  3259. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian troops dropped leaflets calling for the surrender of Ukrainian troops, who are still entrenched in Novoukrainka in the South Donetsk direction west of Ugledar. The Russian Defense Ministry released footage yesterday, September 23, 2024, showing a UAV team from the artillery reconnaissance unit of the Vostok Group of Forces of the Pacific Fleet Marine Brigade, dropping about 100-150 leaflets with special QR codes on the positions of Zelensky's troops. Using drones, each leaflet dropped contained a call to immediately abandon their weapons, giving the enemy the opportunity to surrender on the battlefield, and instructions on how to do so, before their positions are powerfully storming! A leaflet can sometimes have the same effect as a projectile! After that, three other soldiers from the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Army, took advantage of the Russian leaflets after dropped, and they decided to abandon their positions near Novoukrainka. One of the prisoners, Alexander, even advised everyone in other positions to surrender. They treat us normally here, they promised that there will be an exchange soon and they will exchange us,” Alexander added. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian troops who did not heed Alexander’s advice are facing a terrible fate under Russian shelling. Today, September 24, new glide bombs by Su-34 bomber, pounded their deployment points on the flank of the front line between Novoukrainka and Ugledar. Objective control data on the breakthrough by Russian units in this section, they have occupied a bridgehead on Kashlagach River, and advanced 4 kilometers deep into the town of Ugledar. The main goal was to quickly cut off the last Ukrainian logistics that were trapped, and now the entire town, under heavy fire from Russian MLRS, is likely to force the remaining soldiers, to leave the town before the final assault. The two-year battle for Ugledar, is likely to end with a victory for the Russian troops!

  3260. So much assurance without even a shred of proof presented. It’s actually incredible when you step back a moment and consider how the West lives increasingly in a total fantasy construct. On every global issue or flashpoint, Western media no longer exercises even the barest scruples, instead blanketly reporting the most fantastical tales with zero corroboration. In Iran we’re expected to believe Israel “decimated” the entire Iranian air defense network, countless major labs and buildings, despite zero proof apart from a single grainy satellite photo that shows a slight discoloration somewhere—far less proof than we got from Iran’s much more massive strike on Israeli bases during True Promise 2.0. In Georgia, Western press reports with shameless authority that the election was ‘stolen’ despite no credible evidence. Threats, lies, and propaganda are flung with no accountability or attempt at justification; it seems we’ve entered the rapid parabolic singularity point of the ‘post-truth’ era in the West. Western intelligentsia and its corrupt crony political class must now likewise balloon their brazen lies to infinity just to keep from drowning in them as if the buoyancy of volume will keep them up. It seems obvious that Kiev is creating a preemptive excuse for their imminent loss of Kursk and the total catastrophic failure of the Kursk operation. In order to excuse and justify the massive failure, can conjure the ‘North Korean phantom menace’ to claim “we only lost because Russia introduced a surprise shock force of 10,000 North Korean special forces!” - Simplicius

  3266. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Units of the "Center" Group of Troops of the Russian Armed Forces are advancing on Selidovo faster than the Armed Forces of Ukraine expected. Open sources reported until October 25, 2024, that in a few days Russian troops unexpectedly take a foothold at least 2/3 of the city's territory, forcing Ukrainians to flee to the western part of the city. The dynamics of the battle for the city accelerated after Russian troops developed a pincer on the flank of Vishnevoe, which is now completely cut off, and then began to penetrate it into the strategically important urban area on the Pokrovsk direction. One of the attempts by Ukrainian troops to counterattack, but the Russian "Brave O" unit blocked them with RPG. Their armored vehicles and infantry were hit, and the troops rushed to take cover in high-rise buildings. But around them, the Russian assault troops were informed of their location. Drone footage shows that the 433rd Motorized Rifle Regiment, named after the Don Cossacks of the 27th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, has raised the Russian flag on the roof of a high-rise building in the center of Selidovo. Meanwhile, the situation is critical for the rest of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, trapped in the Selidovo cauldron. Russian forces deliberately surrounded the city to force Zelensky’s troops to flee before launching a final assault without significant damage to the city’s fabric. Videos of Ukrainian soldiers fleeing began to emerge, their MRAP driving into the streets controlled by the Russian assault troops, and being attacked with small arms. “No Kornet ATGM,” they said in Russian during the trip, and had to be censored. Many Ukrainian soldiers did not manage to escape the Selidovo fortifications, now only having a 2-kilometer strip of land, which they could still use to run to the wheat fields heading west. They apparently fled during the night, but not everyone was able to leave, possibly being attacked and captured by Russian troops. Here, the situation is such that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have installed Ugledar-2 there. Russian military correspondents released a clip on October 25, the first panoramic footage of Selidovo in Donetsk, where the Ukrainian forces are retreating, indicating that the city was not particularly prepared for defense, and that Ukraine lacks the human resources to conduct a permanent defense. Now, the battle to liberate the West City area has begun!

  3278. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Russian forces have made new progress by taken another group of Ukrainian soldiers including British mercenaries, who were captured around Sudzha while fighting for Kiev in Kursk region. The Russian military channel released footage on November 24, 2024, showing an Ukrainian soldier who did not surrender being eliminated on the spot by Russian soldiers, he was carrying civilian clothes and some another unusual equipment. Furthermore, his fellow Ukrainian soldiers, also consisting of 12 soldiers at a strong point in the northwestern part of Plekhovo, south of Sudzha. The Russian military reported by the interrogation that the prisoners shot at civilian and military vehicles, mined the highway in their operations mainly at night. They were specially trained for urban combat in Britain as per their confession. This once again proves the direct involvement of Britain in the war against Russia. James Scott Rhys Anderson a captured British soldier, as a signalman who identified himself and was wearing green military gear, has appeared online. The 22-year-old soldier who served in the British Army from 2019-2023, along with his comrades from Ukrainian Foreign Legion, decided to go and earn money on the Kiev side after experiencing personal hardships. He traveled to Ukraine via Krakow, Poland, entering through the Medyk checkpoint, and he was part of the fierce battles at Kursk, where Ukrainian forces were defending their newly acquired territory. James was lucky to survive, captured at Plekhovo strongpoint in the fighting, which is unlikely to have paid him several months of wages from Kiev. So far, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports that 141 British mercenaries have been killed during the Ukrainian conflict. Sources report that Russian forces are advancing towards Plekhovo. There is another forest to the east of Plekhovo, which is under Ukrainian control, which could be used to fire on advancing Russian forces. This means that Russian forces are likely to surround this forest, before taking over the settlement.

  3284. An outrageous deluge of exaggerated WWIII propaganda has hit the networks. Every pundit is tearing their hair out at a slew of canard-riddled reports, taken entirely out of context, deliberately misinterpreted, or pumped up in phony headlines for people who don’t read the actual article contents. How can Biden return Russian nukes to Ukraine? It doesn’t even make sense and is the most absurd of the current panic-inducing psyops. Nothing of the sort: the “anonymous official” is merely suggesting it on his own behalf, and trying to pass it off as Biden’s idea. This is merely crude amateur fantasy on behalf of the writer or some no name desk jockey to be dismissed as the leaky refuse it is. This entire fake stems from a single quote from “Admiral” Rob Bauer, head of the ‘NATO Military Committee’. The irrelevant pipsqueak mewled something along these lines to powder on the phony fear-porn: But now Ukraine has struck Kursk region with ATACMS for definite. We know this because in a rare move, the Russian MOD openly confirmed it by posting photos of the ATACMS boosters themselves. This comes directly from the MOD: Of course, the fact that Ukrainian AD radar operators continue being laid to rest from Russian strikes as a daily occurrence is routinely swept under the rug, As for the frontline, things get worse and worse. A Ukrainian officer actually on the front reports soon Kursk will be swarmed: Meanwhile Julian Roepcke inadvertently debunks ‘high Russian losses’ during assaults by admitting a mere 10 Russian troops are capturing entire town centers to no resistance: Major advances have been recorded with Russia now holding nearly half of Kurakhove and capturing most of the open plains to the south and southeast: But the bigger surprise were the sudden advances around Velyka Novosilka which caught Ukrainians totally off guard. Not only was Rozdolne captured to the north but Russians made a shock breakthrough to the eastern edges of Velyka Novosilka town itself, embedding themselves and initiating the fight for the town for the first time: - Simplicius

Instead of isolating Russia and inflicting economic chaos, Russia quickly responded and re-established itself as a leader of the Global South, coalesced with China in a de facto alliance, and ramped up its defense industry to levels not seen since World War II. I think the quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto at the end of the movie, Tora, Tora, Tora, captures the unexpected results of Western hubris — “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” The West was put on notice over the past week by Russian leaders.

  3292. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Zelensky’s latest nightmare on the way to Kursk border, where an Ukrainian stronghold in the forest belt was cleared, amidst the daily increasing deaths of Ukrainian soldiers. On the morning of February 8, 2025, the military situation in the southeastern Kursk salient confirmed the failure of the new Ukraine-NATO offensive, launched two days ago in an attempt to repel the Russian advance towards Sudzha. According to reports, Ukrainian troops are isolated in their strongholds around two locations in Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Fanaseevka forest areas, which are under the control of the Russian armed forces. The thrilling footage through the eyes of the assault units of the Russian Paratroopers, who are clearing Ukrainian strongholds in the belt in the region, where Russian troops launched a series of mechanized counterattacks and destroyed their defensive lines. The Russian assault units do not want the enemy troops trapped in the dugouts to meet their deaths. Zelensky’s soldiers were offered to surrender and lay down their arms several times. “Surrender! Better get out! We will let you live, I promise! Or we will throw grenades at you now, Russian soldier said.” But they chose their own fate, despite numerous calls to surrender, Ukrainian army did not leave the fortifications to lay down arms. War is a serious matter, it is unclear why in such a trapped situation they did not surrender. Thus, Russian soldiers literally threw grenades into the dugouts! The Russian military channel released the latest footage on January 7, an infographic video showing the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers in an area of about 50 square meters, with soldiers counting 13 dead. The picture that emerged was terrible, the chances of Ukrainian troops to survive in the Battle of Kursk were minimal, while today Zelensky continues to report that his army has destroyed hundreds of Russian and North Korean soldiers in Kursk, including his report in Donetsk. According to the revelations made by the army, the outdated tactics of Ukraine, the lack of real morale of the soldiers, and Kiev's political goals in fighting, made them completely vulnerable in their confrontation with Russia in Kursk region. Since the start of hostilities of Kursk, Kiev's losses amount to more than 58,550 soldiers, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on January 8, 2025.

  3305. The US doesn’t support a two-state solution, the US only supports saying the US supports a two-state solution. We know this because the US just vetoed Palestine’s bid to become a full UN member state, after lobbying other countries to vote against the resolution — despite continually saying it supports the foundation of a Palestinian state. Washington’s words say one thing, but its actions say the opposite. So the US maintains this ridiculous charade where it keeps pretending to support this fake non-solution, even while taking concrete actions which make it clear that it does not. A senior US Air Force leader and whistleblower has informed Congress that the US is refusing to pull its military forces from Niger despite being told to do so by the new Nigerien government, and that refusing to withdraw troops from a nation where they aren’t wanted is putting them at risk. Which means we’ve got yet another illegal US military occupation on our hands. It’s so stupid how everyone’s felt the need to keep pretending to believe the Gaza death toll has legitimately hovered around thirty thousand for months now just because Israel supporters have even been calling the official death count a Hamas-driven exaggeration. We all know the Gaza health ministry hasn’t had the infrastructure or ability to count all the dead throughout the Gaza Strip for months and that the official number doesn’t include people killed by starvation and disease due to the Israeli blockade, but because Israel supporters (including the US president) threw shade on the health ministry’s numbers from the beginning they succeeded in dragging the Overton window all the way down to this ridiculously conservative estimate just through sheer vitriol and denialism — even though we know the killing never stopped. - LewRockwell

  3328. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to reinforce the front-line units from Sumy region to Kursk region are becoming more complicated by the day, as Russian forces press Ukraine, entering smaller areas each day. The Ukrainian supply chain through the highly vulnerable route along Sumy-Kursk road, is under constant precision attack by FPV drones, accelerating the Russian advance. Footage released by Russian military channels on February 10, 2025, shows FPV drones launched by the Russian 106th Guards Airborne Division, one of which is in Loknia in Sumy region, disrupting Kiev’s supply routes and depots before direct combat. The vehicles that assisted in evacuation, logistics and drone operations ,were visited by Russian drones, imagining the extent of Ukrainian losses in equipment and manpower, based only on the number of such videos. In the past week, Russian fiber optic specialists have been continuously attacking Kiev’s logistics forces, with multiple strikes hitting Kiev’s troop transport vehicles near the settlements of Khoten and Pisarevka in Sumy region, indicating an expanding operational zone. This is the only and critical logistic route for Kursk where many vehicles and supplies were lost in vain, it looks like an absolute nightmare for the Armed Forces of Ukraine before heading into the invasion zone and the losses at the rear end are dramatic. Ukrainian supplies passing through this route have been subject to regular Russian drone attacks based on the videos posted. The attacks indicate a strategic effort to neutralize their supplies near the border and weaken their defensive positions before a potential ground attack on Kursk, the staging ground for the Russian operation. Russian drone attacks will likely increase along this route, where Ukrainian supplies will not be able to move without airlift or road access from Sumy.

  3330. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Morning report on November 27, 2024, Ukrainian military resources published a very alarming report for Kiev about the new successes of the Russian Armed Forces in Kurakhovo and its environs. Despite attempts to transfer reserves from the western outskirts of the city, the situation of Ukrainian garrison continues to deteriorate amid the presence of Russian assault troops in the city center, developing attacks on high-rise buildings. In one corner of the storming, UAV crew of the Yug Group of Forces from Southern Military District, discovered an observation post, and a firing position of Ukrainian ATGM Stugna on the upper floor of one of the city buildings. Nothing could hide from the drone, immediately destroying them all before the ATGM had time to be used! According to some Ukrainian sources, Kiev regime forbade General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to give orders to retreat even from the encircled settlements and tried to hold positions at the cost of heavy losses. However, the 119th Territorial Defense Brigade of Ukraine serving in the vicinity of Kurakhovo, in Berestki, apparently did not care about Kiev's orders. They chose to flee in disarray and suffered losses in small groups of 3-5 people through the forest belt after seeing the loss of Berestki. Meanwhile, another group was captured by Russian troops. They looked very happy to be captured because they would be safe from the war - their uniforms looked new! Russia has reportedly gained 235 square kilometers of territory in the past week in the strategic city of Kurakhovo in Donetsk, the fastest pace of progress since early 2022

  3335. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Video shows Russian Northern Fleet drills in the Arctic Circle, kicking off new exercises on Tuesday, as joint naval exercises with China, as part of strategic command and staff exercises dubbed ‘Ocean-2024’ that began on Tuesday and run until September 16. The Russian Defense Ministry released footage showing the ships moving through the Arctic, having arrived in the eastern Arctic Ocean to protect the “military security” of Russian coastal facilities in the region. The drills will “study possible threat areas” in a region that most of the countries surrounding the Arctic are members of NATO, which is unfriendly and continues to deploy weapons in the region. The drills—which include the Rear Admiral Kulakov destroyer and the Alexander Otrakovsky, a large landing ship—are part of a series of joint Russian-Chinese exercises. They involve more than 400 warships, submarines and support vessels across the Arctic and Pacific oceans, as well as in the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic seas. More than 90,000 personnel and 120 aircraft are participating. Troops with the Russian Pacific Fleet will practice defending sea communications near Russian eastern Primorsky region bordering China, the Defense Ministry added. Four Chinese warships and one supply ship are taking part. The tasks that the Russian Northern Fleet will perform during the drills include ensuring the security of coastal infrastructure facilities in the Russian Arctic region, investigating potential areas of military operations and carrying out joint special operations aimed at eliminating terrorists during the military exercises, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement. NATO, despite taking a heavy hit in its proxy war in Ukraine, is busy reopening a number of facilities and military presence in the region, which poses an "acute threat" primarily to Russia.

  3341. The CIA is working overtime to push the lie that they warned the Russians about the 22 March terrorist attack and the Russians ignored that warning. Simply not true. As I noted in my previous article, the USG warning issued on March 7 only specified 48 hours. I have no idea when that “clock” started but let’s assume it was Friday the 7th and ended on Sunday the 9th. Since the “predicted” action did not take place there are at least two possible explanations — 1) the intel was bogus or 2) the stepped up Russian security at the Crocus City Hall on March 8 thwarted the attack. Unless the intel stipulated that if the attack did not occur in that 48 hour window it was moot, then it was incumbent on the U.S. State Department and the Embassy to re-issue a warning to AMCITs that the threat still existed. They did not do this. That’s the problem. If the US intel still thought this was a real threat then why did the USG go silent? The West has tried to paint Russia has a relentless, ruthless imperial power even though Russia, unlike the United State and the United Kingdom, has not been engaged in regime change in other countries. In fact, Russia helped Syria fend off a joint U.S./U.K. effort to overthrow the government of Bashir Assad in Syria. In the aftermath of the 2014 Western backed coup in Ukraine, the United States and NATO poured tens of millions of dollars in aid and military training into Ukraine, which was used to attack civilians in the Donbass. Sabotage of critical infrastructure? That got a belly laugh. Talk about clueless. The destruction of the Nordstream pipeline by the United States (according to Sy Hersh) and Ukrainian attacks on the Kerch Bridge with British and American missiles are some of the more prominent examples of the West’s efforts to sabotage Russia’s infrastructure. Until the United States and NATO come to grips with their responsibility for triggering the war in Ukraine, they will continue to encourage provocative actions that could lead to a global conflagration. - Sonar21

  3360. MILITARY TUBE TODAY – New footage has shocked Kiev once again, as Russian troops first managed to destroy a Ukrainian command post in Lebedevka then raised a flag on a monument in the settlement, symbolizing not only another tactical victory, but also that enemy troops had surrendered or fled. Videos shared on March 11, 2025 by the Russian Defense Ministry and Russian military correspondents, shows the assault and liberation of Lebedevka in Kursk Region by the Paratroopers “Tula” of the 106th Airborne Division. The crumbling Ukrainian forces trained in the West, surrendered under Russian gunfire, proving once again that NATO’s strategy is “ unworking.” The Kursk border is being secured, and Western assistance will not turn the tide, according to Russian soldiers. During the rapid assault, first destroying Ukrainian resistance by blowing up their command post with the support of UAV operators. Precision strikes on the command post, paving the way for airborne assault forces using light weapons, assisted by another UAV, to completely take the settlement from the Ukrainian formations that were already overwhelmed from the start. As a result, several Ukrainian soldiers who survived laid down their arms, later becoming prisoners of war. The “winged infantry” units undermined the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the central part of the village during the clearing operation. Next, the Paratroopers “Tula” planted Russian flag and the flag of the Airborne Forces on the Victory in the Great Patriotic War memorial in the center of Lebedevka. The expansion of the Russian Armed Forces’ control zone by more than 600 meters, clearing the area to the south and east, and advancing to an indefinite depth toward Zaoleshenka section of Sudzha, where Kiev’s troops were trapped in a huge “cauldron”!

It is an outright war against all humanity: the Planet’s 8 billion people. Engineered collapse of agriculture. Hikes in the price of energy. Collapse in production and consumption. Poverty and Famine in all major regions of the World Peter Koenig Connects the Dots. He focusses on the powerful “Big Money Actors” who are pulling the strings in the shadows. Peter skilfully explains how “Everything is Interrelated” starting with the Covid plandemic, the mRNA vaccine, the powers of Big Pharma and the Military Industrial Complex, the role of corrupt governments and, the destabilization of the Nation State, the wars in Ukraine and Palestine, the propaganda campaign all of which are overseen and controlled by the Big Money actors. People in different countries are being impoverished simultaneously as a result of a deliberate process of “market manipulation”. It’s not the free market! Starting with the corona crisis in late January 2020, the global crisis (2020-2024) –which is still ongoing– has literally disrupted and destroyed people’s lives Worldwide in the course of the last four years.

  3381. With the truth coming out about how USAID has been working against US interests for decades, the disinfectant of public scrutiny is now turning to our membership in – and generous funding of – international organizations like NATO and the United Nations. I have long advocated our exit from NATO. At the end of the Cold War, with its very reason for existence gone, NATO decided to look for other ways of stirring up trouble. First NATO involved itself in the first Gulf War and then it decided its mission should be to bomb Serbia to smithereens – in the name of “human rights.” I agree with the late Sen. Robert Taft, who argued at the time NATO was formed that we should not join the “Atlantic Alliance.” It has become much clearer these past few months just how far NATO has shifted away from US interests. Even though the United States funds a whopping 70 percent of NATO’s cost, our own NATO “allies” are working against the United States as President Trump attempts to pull us back from the brink of war with Russia. In Paris our “partners” pledged to continue their failed Ukraine policy and to ridicule the United States for looking to try something different. To add insult to injury, right at the center of the table in Paris was none other than the Secretary General of NATO himself, former Dutch politician Mark Rutte! The message was very clear: “we are working against you – we push war while you push peace – but you must keep footing the bill.” - LewRockwell

  3383. “The Iranians have a strategy, and we don’t”, a former senior U.S. Defence Department official told Al-Monitor: “We’re getting bogged down in tactical weeds – of whom to target and how – and nobody’s thinking strategically”. The former Indian diplomat MK Bhadrakumar has coined the term ‘swarming’ to describe this process of non-state actors miring the U.S. in the tactical attrition – from the Levant to the Persian Gulf. In the Ukraine, Russia has pursued a patient, calibrated attrition to drive hard-Right ultranationalists from the field of battle (in central and eastern Ukraine), together with their western NATO facilitators. NATO attempts at deterrence towards Russia (that recently have veered off into ‘terrorist’ attacks inside Russia – i.e. on Belgorod) notably have failed to produce results. Rather, Biden’s close embrace of Kiev has left him exposed politically, as U.S. and European zeal for the project implodes. The war has bogged down the U.S., without any electorally acceptable exit – and all can see it. Moscow drew-in Biden to an elaborate attritional web. He should ‘get out’ quick – but the 2024 campaign binds him. Some of those countries – including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – have initiated ‘private’ steps that were not coordinated with the U.S. They are not only speaking with these militia and movements, but also directly with Iran. The strategy to ‘swarm’ the U.S. on multiple fronts was plainly stated at the recent ‘Astana Format’ meeting between Russia, Iran, and Turkey on 24-25 January. The latter triumvirate are busy preparing the endgame in Syria (and ultimately, in the Region as a whole). In sum, patience has run out over the U.S. weaponising the Kurds and attempting to revitalise ISIS in order to disrupt the tripartite plans for a Syria settlement. The trio want the U.S. out. the backdrop to Israel’s disruptive behaviour lay with America’s ‘forever wars’ of divide-and-rule in support of Israel. In his first substantive statement after 7 October, Seyed Nasrallah (speaking for the Axis of Resistance as a whole) indicated a strategic Resistance pivot: Whereas the conflict triggered by events in Gaza was centrally connected with Israel, Seyed Nasrallah additionally underlined that the backdrop to Israel’s disruptive behaviour lay with America’s ‘forever wars’ of divide-and-rule in support of Israel In short, he tied the causality of America’s many regional wars to the interests of Israel. Only it is not regional actors that are contriving to box-in Biden – it is America’s own protégé: Prime Minister Netanyahu. The confluence between the failed Ukrainian ploy to weaken Russia, and the risky ploy for Israel’s war on Hizbullah, is unlikely to be lost on Americans. - LewRockwell

  3389. The American Dream… or Nightmare? Kamala's “Glorious Economy” Fantasy Welcome to the circus. In the latest episode of America’s desperate attempt to keep the illusion alive, we’re told the “glorious economy” will save Kamala Harris in the polls, just as the empire teeters on the brink of financial collapse. Let’s get real. The U.S. national debt is now approaching an eye-watering $35.8 trillion—yes, with a “T”—and each American citizen is shackled with an average debt burden of over $90,000. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Add in over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and every single American—man, woman, and child, is shouldering a mind-numbing $600,000+ debt burden. Is this the “glory” they're selling? The interest alone on this monstrous sum is set to devour trillions more in the coming years, dwarfing investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and education. Meanwhile, the IMF has just confirmed that Russia, despite over 20,0000 Western sanctions and relentless economic warfare, is now the fourth-largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity (PPP). Moscow has maneuvered past Japan, silencing those who predicted Russia’s collapse. Unlike the speculative foundations of "Bidenomics," Russia's growth has been forged on tangible resources, resilience, and a sovereign economy. As BRICS nations rise, forging independent pathways free from dollar dependence, Washington doubles down on smoke-and-mirrors, feeding its citizens a diet of “everything is glorious” while the walls close in. The empire’s enemies take note. The “economic prowess” being celebrated in D.C. is little more than hollowed-out promises backed by the Fed’s Ponzi-money-printing machine. The American economy, propped up by the very fiat currency it weaponizes against the world, is the definition of a ticking time bomb. So, yes, bring on the election theatrics: Kamala, Trump, whoever. In reality, it’s a “choose your own dystopia” game. While Americans are distracted by the current presidential puppet show, the rest of the world watches as the empire implodes. Real power is shifting, and no “glorious economy” narrative will change that. The Global Majority, anchored by BRICS, isn’t buying the show. They’re building a parallel system and Kazan was only the beginning. As the West doubles down on an unsustainable path, others are investing in genuine growth, decoupled from Western debt traps. They’re not just betting against the dollar; they’re laying the foundation for a world where such illusions hold no sway. - Gerry Nolan - The Islander News - Intel Republic

  3430. With world attention riveted on Israel battling fiercely to repel attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, little notice is being paid to the setbacks Ukraine is suffering at the hands of Russia forces. Not only does Ukraine face a significant reduction in Western military aid in the coming months, but Ukrainian forces are being pushed back steadily towards the Dnieper River. Here is the latest report from Russian military correspondent Marat Khairullin Against the backdrop of growing pressure on the Ukies in the North, Russian troops continue to intensify in more and more new sectors of the front. Russian forces conducted a flanking maneuver on the left yesterday (Saturday) from the the village of Marfopol towards the village of Chervonoye, breaking through the first line of defense of the Ukrainians. At the same time, strong pressure from Russian troops began to the right of the Vremevsky salient in the Ugledar area – in the direction of the village of Prechistovka. Obviously, the goal of the advance was a maneuver to cut the most important Ukrainian road in this section — i.e., Gulyai Pole – Uspenovka – Velikaya Novoselovka-Prechistovka-Ugledar. The fighting is taking place on a wide front of more than 50 kilometers. The most powerful group of the enemy sits here, although it has thinned out significantly recently. It was believed, according to our estimates, that about 60 thousand Ukrainians (about 15 brigades) held the defense here. However, about 20 thousand of them were transferred over the last two months to the Northern Front to stop our “offensive” there. And now we see a serious increase in our activity on the flanks of this significantly weakened group. It is obvious that Russian troops continue to overload the Ukies along the entire length of the front. Let me remind you that in the northern direction the front has also expanded over the past 24 hours, where ours are actively increasing pressure on the Ukrops. To the left of Kislovka, Russians took Kotlyarovka and reached the most important highway N-026. To the right, Russian soldiers approached Ivanovka. The active pressure of Russian troops is here at a front of about 8 kilometers. To the south, our troops entered Makeevka at these hours, and at the same time the movement of our troops began towards the village of Nevskoye. The active front here has expanded to more than 10 kilometers. And these are just two new directions on this front. The width of the front where we apply pressure is very important, since the Ukrainians’ only method of maintaining defensive stability is to fill the position with fresh meat. They have no other methods. They definitely can’t add more firepower – all the remaining mobile missile and artillery brigades (the same wheeled self-propelled guns that we hunted all summer) are already heavily deployed. The only thing left to patch up the holes is human reserves. To the south there is also an active advance on the Donetsk front – in the area of ​​Avdeevka, advance both from Krasnogorovka and Kamenka, and from Opytnoye and Vodyanoye. In total, the Russians chewed off more than a dozen more strongholds. Active work is underway near Pervomaisky, Staromikhailovka, Marinka – in a word, Ukrainian forces are being leaned upon to the fullest. It is obvious that we are beginning to choke them seriously. - Sonar21

  3442. In Aleppo, the echoes of foreign voices betray the latest chapter in the empire’s relentless war. Uzbek-speaking mercenaries, under the banner of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), have infiltrated Syria’s west, not to liberate, but to destabilize. They are no rebels. They are hired terrorists, pawns of agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, carrying out yet another front in the imperial proxy war. Their language alone, Uzbek, not Arabic exposes the farce of their so-called “resistance.” This is not about Syria alone. It is the empire lashing out, desperate to reverse its losing streak in the de facto World War III unfolding before our eyes. In Ukraine, Russia is finalizing NATO’s humiliation, systematically dismantling its military and economic gambits. The Ukranian front is more than a battlefield, it’s a graveyard for Western ambitions. But as NATO is defeated in Ukraine, the empire shifts its fury back to Syria, a nation that, with Russia’s unwavering support, defeated the West’s terror apparatus once before. The timing is no coincidence. Israel, the empire’s relentless enforcer, violated its fragile truce with Hezbollah, reigniting tensions across the region. And now, in Aleppo, HTS mercenaries appear, dispatched to open another front of chaos. This is the empire’s playbook: when direct confrontation fails, it sends its proxies, terrorists for hire, flooding sovereign nations with bloodshed to prolong their suffering. Then there’s Erdogan. The eternal fence-sitter, straddling NATO’s ambitions and his promises of respecting Syria’s territorial integrity. It’s time for him to choose: will Turkey stand with Russia and Syria to secure the region’s future, or will Erdoğan continue to enable the mercenaries that threaten it? He cannot serve two masters, and his neo-Ottoman ambitions are wearing thin. The empire’s desperation is palpable. Unable to inspire genuine local rebellion, it imports mercenaries, speaking foreign tongues in lands they have no claim to, their loyalty bought by Western intelligence agencies. This isn’t a fight for freedom; it’s a business model of chaos, exported by the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, designed to fragment nations that defy their hegemony. But Syria and its allies have seen this all before. With Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah at its side, Damascus will hold the line. Aleppo is more than a city; it’s a symbol of resistance, a frontline in the global struggle against imperial terror and tyranny. As Russia closes NATO’s chapter in Ukraine, it stands shoulder to shoulder with Syria against this new wave of Western aggression. The empire may send its proxies, but its era of dominance is fading. Aleppo will resist. Syria will endure. And Russia’s triumphs will echo far beyond the battlefield, as the multipolar world continues its rises from the empire’s ruins. - Gerry Nolan TheIslanderNews for Intel Republic

  3446. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian stormtroopers of the Tsentr Group of Forces moved into the city and drove out Ukrainian troops, leading to the liberation of the city of Novogrodovka on September 8, on the Pokrovsk direction. The Russian Defense Ministry released detailed footage on September 30, 2024, showing first-person view of small groups conducting urban combat, which is still held by the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Due to strong fire support from artillery and constant reconnaissance by drones, the soldiers were able to move quickly and occupy enemy positions with minimal friction. However, the interaction between the various units was persistent, combing the hiding places of the troops fighting for Zelensky, one by one in building after building. However, all this was preceded by powerful artillery fire and under the blows of FVP drones, which accurately destroyed and suppressed enemy firepower. As seen in the video frames, BM-21 Grad MLRS worked well and accurately against the troops of the 25th Airborne Brigade, digging at least some of the hiding places in the industrial zone of the Novogrodovskaya Mine No.2, including garbage heaps. As a result, something happened there, the remaining battalions of the brigade, which had split into several groups, were mostly eliminated, and retreated from the city, trying to break away from the advancing Russian assault troops. This allowed the stormtroopers to quickly clearing the city streets. The enemy troops could no longer hide in the basements and they were driven out of the settlement, as a soldier with the call sign "Sever" said during the assault. The persistent efforts of the Russian assault troops, coupled with skillful leadership and effective use of forces and resources, led to a successful mission, completing the task of completely capturing Novogrodovka in Donetsk region. Since then, the local population has maintained good relations with the Russian soldiers, with former Ukrainian Army soldiers switching sides during the fighting. A resident of Novogrodovka told a Russian war correspondent about the forced evacuation carried out by the Ukrainian authorities. "Ukrainian authorities are separating families with children!" He also mentioned "Angels" - this is a Ukrainian volunteer group, which tries to bring as many children as possible to the Ukrainian side.

Russian FM spokeswoman Zakharova in above video states Russia's unemployment rate stands at historic low of 3% (half as much as EU's), with country's GDB and major industries growing despite West's unprecedented sanctions. - Intel Report We now know that the United States played the primary role in sabotaging the March 29, 2022 tentative peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine thanks to the recently published article by Hajo Funke and Harald Kujat, HOW THE CHANCE WAS LOST FOR A PEACE SETTLEMENT OF THE UKRAINE WAR — AND THE WEST WANTED TO CONTINUE THE WAR INSTEAD. The United States persuaded its NATO allies that pursuing the war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy, offered a legitimate opportunity to destroy Russia. You want a definition of evil? This is it. Instead of helping end the war between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and its NATO puppets condemned hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to death in a war with Russia they could not win. In the course of strong arming Ukraine’s Zelensky into rejecting the peace agreement, the West prepared and launched a propaganda campaign that claimed that Ukrainian military forces defeated the Russian forces and compelled them to retreat. It was a lie. As you will read in the timeline below, Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian forces starting on April 1, 2022 as a good faith gesture about Russia’s seriousness in complying with the 29 March Istanbul Agreement. Chalk this up as one more massive war crime by the United States and NATO. They are accessories to murder. I have summarized the timeline presented in the Funke/Kujat article if you do not have time to read it in its entirety. I also am republishing their piece for your convenience. All of the death and destruction experienced in Ukraine and Russia could have been avoided. But the West was intent on dethroning Putin and carving up Russia. Once you understand this point I think you will appreciate that Putin and his Generals are no longer of a mind to give the West the benefit of the doubt. Destroying NATO’s designs on Ukraine is now their chief aim in my view. - Sonar21

  3484. Donald Trump and his team enter negotiations with Russia armed with a set of false, misleading assumptions. Donald Trump reportedly continues to believe, as does his team of negotiators, that Russia is suffering economically and militarily and wants to end the war in Ukraine. This is not true, at least as far as the folks in Moscow are concerned. Russia’s objectives are clear — restore normal relations with the United States and obtain an agreement to end the threat that NATO presents to Russia. Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, and others, have been very clear in stating that Russia will not be bamboozled again into accepting a ceasefire with a promise of peace ahead. They made that mistake in halting their offensive operations after the 2015 battle in Debaltsevo as part of the Minsk II agreement. China’s is meeting fire-with-fire. As I noted in my previous post, cutting off US access to critical rare earth minerals will inflict significant damage to the US defense industry and other key technology sectors. It is not just Donald Trump who wants to increase pressure on China. There is a widespread, firm belief among many smart American politicians, business executives and academics that Russia is not a natural ally of China and that the US, in a reversal of the Nixon Doctrine — i.e., cozying up to China in order to weaken Russia — is convinced it can play the same game, only this time using Russia as a wedge against China. I will leave you with this question to debate: Who does sanctions hurt most — China or the United States. I think the United States will suffer the most. I look forward to your analytical input. - sonar21

  3485. The U.S. is edging closer to war with Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces, a state security agency composed of armed groups, some of which are close to Iran, but which for the main are Iraqi nationalists. The U.S. carried out a drone strike in Baghdad, Wednesday that killed three members of the Kataeb Hizbullah forces, including a senior commander. One of the assassinated, al-Saadi, is the most senior figure to have been assassinated in Iraq since the 2020 drone strike that killed senior Iraqi Commander al-Muhandis and Qassem Soleimani. The target is puzzling as Kataeb more than a week ago suspended its military operations against the U.S. (at the request of the Iraqi government). The stand down was widely published. So why was this senior figure assassinated? Tectonic twitches often are sparked by a single egregious action: the one final grain of sand which – on top of the others – triggers the slide, capsizing the sandpile. Iraqis are angry. They feel that the U.S. wantonly violates their sovereignty – showing contempt and disdain for Iraq, a once great civilisation, now brought low in the wake of U.S. wars. Swift and collective retaliation has been promised. But all know that such separateness is artificial – the ‘red’ thread woven through all these ‘issues’ is Gaza. The White House (and Israel) however, insists the connecting thread instead to be Iran. Did the White House think this through properly, or was its latest assassination viewed as a ‘sacrifice’ to appease the ‘gods of war’ in the Beltway, clamouring to bomb Iran? The wrongheadedness of U.S. policy is astonishing – and now has claimed the most central tenet in the ‘Biden strategy’ for resolving the crisis in Gaza. The original decision to back Israel’s use of overwhelming violence across Gaza’s civil society – ostensibly to defeat Hamas. It has turned the region and much of the World against the U.S. and Europe. How did this happen? Because nothing changed by way of U.S. policies. It was the same old western bromides from decades ago: financial threats, bombing and violence. And the insistence on one mandatory ‘stand with Israel’ narrative (with no discussion). The rest of the world has grown tired of it; even defiant towards it. where is Biden’s limit: Support for Israel in a Hizbullah war? And were it to widen, support for Israel in an Iran war too? Where is the limit? The incongruity, coming as it does, at a moment when the West’s Ukraine Project is imploding, suggests that Biden may see himself needing some ‘grand victory’, as much as does Netanyahu. - LewRockwell

  3521. MILITARY TUBE TODAY - New Ukrainian losses detected after the defeat of several T-64 tanks deployed to the battlefield to stop the Russian breakthrough in Nevskoye, which had been liberated a few days ago in Lugansk region. The Russian Defense Ministry released video evidence on the evening of September 24, 2024, showing that at that time, a Russian UAV spotted and monitored the separate movement of several Ukrainian T-64 tanks from Novolyubovka neighboring Nevskoye, trying to recapture the village but suffered losses. At that time, the reconnaissance drone operator called in the support of attack drones and artillery. First, the Lancet roaming ammunition of the 144th Division did its job, and smoked it out. The Zapad Group of Forces of the Military Group “West”, on 24-hour alert in their task area, continuously suppressed firing points, destroyed weapons, and inflicted damage from ammunition fire on Ukrainian troops. In a separate location not so far away in Novolyubovka, another T-64 tank advanced, the Ukrainians believed they could fire on Russian positions. Although the enemy tank was in a firing position for only a few minutes, turned around and started to flee, the Russian artillery shells managed to catch up with it, and hit it right in the head of the tank's turret. In addition, one T-64BV tank with anti-drone protection was destroyed with two hits, as shown in the video frames released by the closed channel. The tank was still trying to escape after being hit by artillery, but then stopped, at least this gave the surviving crew a chance to save their lives. The Lancet drone then dived quickly towards the tank, causing a huge explosion, and the equipment slowly burned out completely.

  3523. [Best description of the Warmonger Extraordinaire Graham that I've read. Captured the essence of this disgusting morally bankrupt creep to a "T". Much blood on this man and his cronies' hands for which they will pay!] “Step right up, folks, get your next world war right here.” That’s basically the message that’s always coming out of US Senator Lindsey Graham’s mouth. It’s all fun and games – and profit – regardless of how many of the “little people” end up paying with their lives. Shooting one’s mouth off nonstop in favor of triggering war (anywhere but inside America, of course) by advocating attacks on foreign countries is Graham’s whole brand. He pounds the desk, but really couldn’t care less where the dust settles afterwards. That’s for someone else, with actual responsibility, to deal with. Guys like him, and his BFF the late Senator John McCain, and former Ambassador and Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton are all basically the same dude. Graham and McCain were the ones who actively lobbied their Republican colleagues to get Obama appointee, Victoria “Regime Change Karen” Nuland, confirmed into the role of assistant secretary of state for Europe in May 2013. They succeeded. And just a few months later she was in Ukraine as Euromaidan popped off, handing out cookies and getting caught on tape telling the US Ambassador to Kiev who should comprise the post-coup Ukrainian cabinet. They all represent a bygone era before social-media-driven transparency and diversity of analysis and freedom of information. Neoconservative narratives driving endless war enjoyed much less pushback from more marginalized dissenting voices. The results of their policies, from the Middle East to Africa, have been so disastrous that they’ve lost any benefit of the doubt. So, while Graham is busy sticking out his tongue at Putin, laughing about how Moscow took its shot and missed – he might want to consider where the ricochet actually ended up. And how much of a reckless jackass he made of himself, yet again, in front of increasingly war-weary Americans. - RT

  3528. The Biden administration immediately claimed the attack was backed by Iran, with profoundly influential news agencies like AP and Reuters regurgitating this claim as established fact in their headlines immediately thereafter. As DeCamp notes in the aforementioned article, back in October a US official acknowledged to CNN that that there’s actually a “persistent intelligence gap” as to how much these Shia militias are in fact beholden to the orders of Tehran, but apparently this attack being linked to Iran is now being treated as established gospel truth anyway. In a statement on the attacks Biden said the US “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing,” meaning yet another military escalation in the middle east is on its way under this murderous administration. A full-scale war with Iran would be the absolute worst-case scenario resulting from the violence which erupted in the middle east this past October, potentially with mass deaths on a scale that would make what’s been happening in Gaza look like child’s play. In that same statement Biden said the US troops who were killed in the “despicable and wholly unjust attack” died working “to fight terrorism”, which is of course ridiculous. People who live in the middle east have far more legitimacy attacking US troops in resistance to a US-backed genocide than US troops have in being in the middle east to begin with, and the US military presence they attacked is there to shore up geostrategic control, not to fight terror. The US base by the Jordan-Syria border that was struck by Iraqi forces functions as a support base for America’s al-Tanf garrison, a sprawling “deconfliction zone” (read: illegal military occupation) in Syria which the US has for years been using to disrupt Iranian activities in the region and help Israel carry out its constant airstrikes in Syria. “Fighting terrorism” is just the pretense for the US military presence in the region; as always, the real reason is to facilitate the geostrategic domination of the US empire. Every US military fatality in the middle east is the fault of the US government for putting them there. US troops shouldn’t be in the middle east at all, and the US has no legitimacy in retaliating against efforts to kick them out of the region by the people who live there. Iraqi militias have 100 percent legitimacy in attacking US troops in the middle east during a US-backed genocide, and the US has zero legitimacy in retaliating. Get out of the middle east. Just Stop backing a genocide in Gaza, stop murdering people to shore up domination of world resources, and leave. Leave before you unleash something far worse than the nightmare you’ve already inflicted upon our species. - LewRockwell

  3540. The Russian military is making advances at multiple locations along the frontline in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), according to Friday's daily press briefing of the country’s Defense Ministry released. Officials said that over the past 24 hours, Moscow’s troops have inflicted heavy casualties on the adversary, amounting to up to 795 servicemen. The DPR saw intense combat at multiple locations, with troops “taking up better positions” near the village of Klescheevka, located to the southwest of the town of Artyomovsk (known in Ukraine as Bakhmut). The small village has been experiencing heavy combat for months, following the liberation of Artyomovsk early last year. The Russian military reported destroying multiple pieces of military hardware, including assorted armored and soft vehicles, as well as several artillery pieces, including two US-made M777 towed howitzers. The military said it had conducted multiple long-range attacks on Ukrainian ammunition stockpiles, troops, and hardware assembly points in more than 100 locations. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu revealed fresh estimates on the casualties sustained by Ukrainian forces over the past month. All in all, Ukraine lost more than 23,000 troops in January, the minister claimed during a meeting with top Russian military commanders on Friday, stating his forces now “hold the strategic initiative along the entire line of contact.” Over the past month, the Ukrainian military has also suffered heavy equipment losses, with over 3,000 heavy hardware pieces destroyed. The losses include multiple US-supplied Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, HIMARS multiple rocket launcher systems, German-supplied Leopard main battle tanks and other hardware provided to Kiev by its Western sponsors, according to Shoigu. - RT
