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

The fact that only Moscow cared about the fate of US blogger Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison last year, is a sign of the “deepest crisis” affecting the international bodies that are supposed to protect journalists, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Lira, a Chilean-American citizen, passed away behind bars in Ukraine in January 2024, while awaiting trial for “systematically justifying the Russian aggression.”
Zakharova recalled the ordeal of the US journalist during a conference on the development of modern media at the Moscow School of Economics (MSE) on Tuesday.
“Has anyone else talked about Gonzalo Lira? An American journalist, He had a US passport. Has anyone talked about him besides Russia? Try to remember. Nobody did,” she insisted.
When asked about Lira’s incarceration, the White House and the US State Department replied with “strategic silence, generously paid for by USAID, an American agency that supposedly promotes international development. It is ridiculous,” the spokeswoman stressed. - RT

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

Georgia has prevented an attempted overthrow of the government orchestrated by foreign powers, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has said. He compared the scenario allegedly prepared for the nation with the situation in Ukraine in 2014.
Speaking on Monday, Kobakhidze referred to the US-backed Maidan coup in Kiev a decade ago, which ousted Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovich, and precipitated the current conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
“It took the [Georgian] Ministry of Internal Affairs exactly five days to neutralize the resource of violence of the radical opposition,” Kobakhidze said at a cabinet meeting, thanking the head of the ministry, Vakhtang Gomelauri, and police officers
.
He added that the ministry had acted in accordance with standards “higher than the American and European ones.”
“This is how the attempt of Maidan in our country was stopped in exactly five days,” Kobakhidze concluded. - RT

West ‘playing with fire’ – Moscow
Ukraine has increased attacks on Russian border regions using NATO-supplied missiles and bombs
The West is risking further escalation by arming Ukraine and encouraging it to strike Russian territory, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
Ukrainian strikes on Russian cities have intensified since Kiev began losing ground in Kharkov Region.
“The profile of the American and British handlers of the [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky regime is clearly visible behind these barbaric attacks,” Zakharova told reporters. “They are not only providing longer-range missiles and heavy weapons, but are giving the green light for their use against Russia.”
“Once again, we would like to unequivocally warn Washington, London, Brussels and other Western capitals, as well as Kiev, which is under their control, that they are playing with fire. Russia will not leave such encroachments on its territory unanswered,” the spokeswoman stressed. - RT

The UK is historically the most hostile Western state in terms of its policy toward Moscow, former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov claimed on Monday.
Speaking at the launch of a new book, ‘Nazi genocide of the people of the USSR’, Ivanov was asked whether the Nazi plan of “clearing” Russia of its population is still alive in Europe today. The “‘idea,’ if you can call it that, is several hundred years old,” he answered.
“I believe that the most hostile state to Russia is Great Britain, which has been at the same thing for 300-400 years: attempting to limit Russia, limit its influence, limit its economic power – to do everything to make Russia exist on the European periphery,” added Ivanov, who is a permanent member of the Russian Security Council. - RT

The West is openly trying to interfere in Georgia’s parliamentary elections, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, stressing that voters in the former Soviet republic have every right to independently choose their own future.
In Saturday’s high-stakes election, the ruling Georgian Dream party, which seeks to build pragmatic relations with Russia, secured 54% of the vote, while various opposition forces garnered between 11% and 3% each, according to the Central Electoral Commission.
Pro-Western opposition parties, however, have refused to recognize the results, calling the vote a “constitutional coup.” The nation’s French-born President Salome Zourabichvili joined the chorus, urging the people to protest and claiming that Georgia had become a “victim of a Russian special operation.”
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Peskov unequivocally denied the allegations. “We are not trying at all and hardly have the opportunity to influence the development of the situation” in the country, he said, stressing that “it is the Georgian people’s business to make the relevant decisions.” - RT

The unnecessary invasions and occupations of Iraq, the Washington-instigated shambles of Syria, the wanton destruction of Yemen, the regime change barbarism that NATO inflicted upon Libya, the brutal sanctions and covert military war on Iran, the current unspeakable catastrophe financed by Washington’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, and countless more lessor depredations, tell you all you need to know.
All of these misadventures bespeak the fact that the War Party is entrenched in the nation’s capital, where it is dedicated to economic interests and ideological perversions that guarantee perpetual war. These forces ensure endless waste on armaments; they cause the inestimable death and human suffering that stems from 21st-century high-tech warfare; and they inherently generate terrorist blow-back from those upon whom the War Party inflicts its violent hegemony.
Worse still, Washington’s great war machine and teeming national security industry is its own agent of self-perpetuation. When it is not invading, occupying and regime changing, its vast apparatus of internal policy bureaus and outside contractors, lobbies, think tanks and NGOs is busy generating reasons for new imperial ventures. In a word, the real threat to peace circa 1991 was that the American Imperium would not go away quietly into the good night.- LewRockwell

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

The hypocrisy of the US-led West regarding how it reacts to Russia, a geopolitical opponent, on one side, and to Israel, a favorite with special privileges, on the other, is so flagrant that even The Guardian has noticed. While the West uses rhetoric about “rules” and “values” to cloak its proxy war against Russia via Ukraine, it tolerates and supports Israel’s genocidal attack on the Palestinians in Gaza. That even the United Nations’ top court, the ICJ, has by now found genocide a plausible possibility, simply makes no real difference. - RT

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

The reported “secret meeting” to discuss a Ukrainian peace plan in Saudi Arabia last month was merely an attempt by Kiev and the West to maintain attention on the conflict with Moscow amid growing fatigue, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
The gathering took place in mid-December in Riyadh, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov mentioned the event in an interview he gave the same month, without naming the host nation.
Bloomberg sources described the meeting as making “no major progress,” while some nations that had participated in previous talks did not attend, most notably China, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates.
Zakharova dismissed the significance of the gathering, to which Russia was not invited, as irrelevant for the conflict with Kiev. Instead, it was aimed only at propping up Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his “regime” as part of a Western-advised PR campaign, she claimed in an interview with Radio Sputnik on Wednesday. - RT

- The US had previously possessed the Philippines as a colony from 1898-1945 including brutally suppressing a war of independence killing over 200k Filipinos, including the use concentration camps and torture;
- Since gaining its independence from the US, Washington has used the Philippines as part of a long-standing policy of containing China along the "Southeast Asia front;"
- The US has maintained the presence of its military forces in the Philippines for decades, breifly facing expulsion under the adminstration of President Rodrigo Duterte, then expanding it recently with the election of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.;
- The US has previously and deliberately lied to the Philippine public about fabricated threats Chinese healthcare products posed during the recent healthcare crisis;
- The US is now militarizing the Philippines through a $500 million military assistance package, using ordinary maritime disputes in the South China Sea as a pretext to stir up conflict between the Philippines and its largest trade partner, China;
- Philippine subordination to the US has caused the nation to fall behind the rest of Southeast Asia, having the 2nd largest population but 6th largest GDP;
- Like Ukraine, the Philippines stands to lose much more if the political capture, use, and abuse of the nation continues by Washington; - The New Atlas

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:

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

BRAVO, President Putin, a standing ovation for you from this American who's had enough of the rot you're fighting against worldwide, Again, BRAVO, and God bless you!
Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to crush modern-day forces that promote Nazism, singling out Ukraine and the Baltic states as countries where the authorities have embraced such ideologies.
Speaking on Saturday at the opening of a memorial to Soviet civilians killed by Nazi German forces in Leningrad Region, the Russian head of state said: “these days the outcomes of the Nuremberg trials are effectively being revised.” He claimed that some countries have gone from rewriting history and whitewashing the Nazis to “arming themselves with Hitlerites’ ideology and methods.”
President Putin cited the Baltic states, in an apparent reference to their treatment of Russian-speaking minorities, which Moscow deems discriminatory.
“The regime in Kiev lionizes Hitlers’ accomplices, SS members, and uses terror against” those who resist it, the Russian leader alleged, accusing the Ukrainian authorities of subjecting the elderly, women and children to “barbaric shelling.”
According to President Putin, “in a number of European countries, Russophobia is being promoted as the state policy.”
“We will do everything – everything to undercut and eradicate Nazism for good,” the Russian head of state pledged. - RT

BRITISH DIPLOMAT CALLS FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE, in rare plea for end of war out of UK, Deputy Leader of Workers Party of Britain Peter Ford delivers impassioned speech calling on Europe to stop suicidal destructive warmongering and sacrificing Ukrainians for NATO warlords, stressing Kiev already lost the war.
Ukraine already lost this war on military level. No serious expert disputes fact it lost huge amount of territory, soldiers, equipment, money and has zero chance of regaining serious territories. Ukrainian people are tired, want peace and should be given chance to recover and return to normal life
Western people pushing Ukraine to continue, they are very brave, aren't they? Ready to fight till last Ukrainian, but not ready to send single Western soldier to his death, not officially, anyway
Of course, there are special forces there, but we are not supposed to know about it. Although many commandos are dying. But for public in Western countries, we are not losing soldiers. We don't have body bags coming home, although unofficially they do.
It is surprising Western warmongers still pushing Ukraine to make great sacrifices, to become spearhead of NATO, not for benefit of Ukraine, but to serve as cannon fodder, a pawn in their ultimate goal - to defeat Russia - Ford. - Intel Republic

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has dismissed the idea of creating “autonomous regions” in Ukraine, floated by Trump ally Rick Grenell, as too little, too late.
Grenell was one of the few trusted operatives in President Donald Trump’s administration, serving first as ambassador to Germany and then as acting director of National Intelligence.
“Where were you, Rick, when the Minsk agreements dedicated to exactly this were on the table of the international community, and Russia did its best in support of them and called for finding a form of federalization of Ukraine to preserve its integrity?” Zakharova said on Telegram, reacting to Grenell’s proposal.
“You were the US ambassador in Berlin at the time and called on the Germans to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, grossly interfering in the internal affairs of Russia and Germany. Now the Germans are without gas and the economy, and the Ukrainians are without a country and a stable future,” she added. -RT

In its daily update on Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian forces that invaded Russia’s Kursk Region have lost more than 330 servicemen and 16 armored vehicles, including one tank, two armored personnel carriers, and 13 armored combat vehicles. Additionally, one artillery piece, an electronic warfare station, a counter-battery station, and eight vehicles were also destroyed, while three Ukrainian servicemen have surrendered.
The ministry added that since the start of the incursion, the Ukrainian military has lost more than 17,750 servicemen, over 130 tanks, hundreds of other combat vehicles, and several pieces of Western-supplied rocket systems and other military equipment. - RT

Barbara Loe Fisher, cofounder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), was part of a small group of parents of vaccine injured children who fought for the creation of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA)
Unfortunately, the law has not lived up to its initial purpose, and has instead allowed the drug industry to become the most influential industry on earth
The original bill, S. 2117, introduced in 1984 contained multiple safety provisions aimed at ensuring informed consent and making vaccines safer for all, and did not provide liability protection for vaccine makers or doctors
Shortly after its passing in 1986, Congress, the Department of Human Services and the Justice Department gutted the bill of crucial safety and compensation provisions, and ultimately granted vaccine makers complete protection from all liability, including liability for design defects
Why was the NCVIA gutted? Because every incidence of liability and financial award is an admission that vaccines can cause harm - Mercola

The Russian Defense Ministry has shared drone footage of an artillery strike on a Ukrainian field depot; several trucks loaded with ammunition are seen being obliterated in a large blast.
The strike took place near the Russian town of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk People’s Republic, which is known in Ukraine as Pokrovsk, the military reported on Friday.
Drone footage shows several military trucks, parked tightly close to one another and poorly concealed with shrubbery on the outskirts of an unspecified village.
Shortly after the ammunition dump was identified by the surveillance drone, the location was targeted with artillery fire. Some of the trucks were set on fire, suffering a violent secondary detonation when their contents exploded.
Since the beginning of the year, the Ukrainian military has lost more than 111,000 troops, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said earlier in the day.
Throughout April, Kiev has been losing 1,000 soldiers per day on average, he said - RT

Iran and Israel should exercise restraint and avoid a further escalation of hostilities in the region, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday, commenting on Tehran’s drone and missile strikes on Israel over the weekend.
The attacks came in retaliation for an airstrike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria earlier this month that killed several high-ranking Iranian officers, including two generals. Tehran blamed Israel for the attack. Israel has not openly acknowledged its role, but Defense Minister Yoav Gallant implied responsibility in a later statement that Israel “strikes our enemies all over the Middle East.”
“We are deeply concerned with another dangerous escalation in the region,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said, noting that crises in the Middle East, particularly the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, are “often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions” that only lead to further tensions.
“We call on all parties involved to exercise restraint. We hope that regional states will solve existing problems through political and diplomatic means,” the ministry added. - RT

US calls for Russia to hold talks on ending the Ukraine conflict seem detached from reality and ignore Moscow’s previous attempts to reach a settlement, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted on Monday that Moscow’s alleged plans “to erase Ukraine from the map… failed.” He added that he hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken note of Western support for Ukraine, “gets the message, and demonstrates a willingness to genuinely negotiate consistent with the basic principles… of the international community and the UN Charter: sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence.”
Responding to Blinken’s remarks later that day, Zakharova said American politicians seem to live in a “mirror world.”
She recalled that in 2014 and 2015, Russia “showed respect for international law” by promoting the now-defunct Minsk agreements, which sought to end the bloodshed in the region by giving the two Donbass republics special status within the Ukrainian state.
The spokeswoman stated that Blinken himself had proposed settling the conflict “based not on international law,” but on the ‘peace formula’ proposed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which demands that Russia withdraw all troops from the territory Kiev claims as its own and includes several other clauses that Moscow has rejected as unacceptable.
“Everything has gone haywire in the White House,” Zakharova said. - RT

The United States’ ‘America First’ policy has disturbing similarities to the slogan ‘Germany above all’ used by the Nazis to assert national superiority over others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.
In an op-ed for the magazine ‘Russia in Global Affairs’ published on Tuesday, Lavrov argued that Washington’s approach undermines the UN Charter and the post-war global order built on sovereign equality. He noted that this principle was enshrined in the Yalta-Potsdam agreements signed in 1945 by the USSR, US, and UK, shaping the modern international system.
Multipolarity is gaining momentum, Lavrov went on to say, suggesting that instead of opposing it, the US could in the foreseeable future become a “responsible” center of power along with Russia, China, and other countries in the Global South, East, North, and West.
The foreign minister stressed that the UN Charter provides the best framework for managing global affairs in the multipolar era, “when everyone must observe − not only in word, but in deeds − the principles of the sovereign equality of states, non-interference in their internal affairs, and other fundamental principles.”
He warned against “brazen attempts to reorder the world in one’s own interest,” which violate the principles of the UN and can bring instability, confrontation, and even catastrophe. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - In Toretsk agglomeration on Donetsk front, it was badly burned during the Russian troops' attacks to enter the city center from various directions, and the fighters fighting for Zelensky there, began to worry at a high level. Russian military correspondents released footage on Telegram channel, on August 25, 2024, showing scenes of complete disarray of Ukrainian troops' positions in a powerful fortress city, the construction of which began in 2015 at the suggestion of NATO. After the Ukrainian offensive on Kursk, Russia began to act very harshly, redoubling attacks with powerful methods by Aviation and ground artillery, in order to drive enemy troops out of reinforced concrete bunkers.
Toretsk was completely burned at night, destroying high-rise buildings containing Ukrainian positions, ensuring the advancement of Russian assault groups to break through enemy lines. They could not withstand the impressive onslaught of powerful Russian TOS Sistems fire, in a city that has been almost uninhabited since the beginning of the war. Supporters of the war are desperately trying to hide Toretsk, reporting that the Kursk front is successful. According to reports, the Ukrainian brigades appear to have been ordered to retreat while minimizing their losses. If they did not retreat, only ruins and the casualties of the soldiers would remain of the city. At first glance, the battle of Toretsk had turned into a disaster for Ukraine.

DISPLACEMENT, SUBJUGATION, OR DEATH - as ICJ opens historic hearing into legality of Israel's occupation, Palestinian FM Al-Maliki highlights that ongoing genocide didn't start because of October 7, but as a result of successive Israeli governments giving Palestinians 3 choices: ethnic cleansing, apartheid or genocide. For over a century, the inalienable rights of our people to self-determination had been denied and violated. Palestine was not a land without a people. It was not! as Israeli leaders have described it "the wasteland". UN enshrined in its charter the right of all peoples to self-determination and pledges to rid the world of colonialism and apartheid, yet, for decades Palestinians have been denied this right - Al-Maliki. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and the West Bank and claimed sovereignty over these areas, referring to them by biblical names, also established hundreds of settlements with over 700,000 Israeli settlers. Statements by Israeli leaders affirm their intention to permanently occupy Palestinian land - Palestinian legal team at ICJ. - Intel Republic

Reflecting on the history of war, James Madison once remarked, “Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended.”
Fear of foreigners—foreign invaders, armies, and diseases—has always been a handy tool for rulers who aspire to expand their power, wealth, and scope of their activities in the world. When peoples’ minds are gripped by fear, they become credulous, compliant, and willing to support just about any action their rulers wish to undertake.
the American people have been presented with a series of terrifying specters and told that the U.S. government must take extraordinary action to confront these “grave and growing dangers” to quote President George W. Bush’s characterization of Saddam Hussein’s non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Because this sort of gambit almost always works, it has created a perverse incentive for ambitious and unscrupulous rulers. - Courageous Discourse

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

The Ukrainian military carried out a drone strike on the town of Aleshki in Russia’s Kherson Region on Monday, targeting the local district hospital, Governor Vladimir Saldo has said. At least one medic died in the attack, he added in a post on Telegram.
According to Saldo, the drone operator specifically targeted the office of the facility’s head doctor, Vladimir Kharlan. The explosion killed his deputy, Vasily Borisov – a local resident who “devoted his life to saving others,” the governor said, calling his death “an irreplaceable loss” for the regional medical community.
Kharlan sustained severe shrapnel injuries, Saldo said, adding that it was the second attempt on his life by the Ukrainian forces. The governor also accused Kiev of keeping its “bloody actions secret,” while its Western backers turn a blind eye. - RT

Nice to see your appreciation of wildlife in ur vids, Alex, really enjoyed the parakeets today. They have a calming effect on you. Been feeding my friends all year when they're around, bluejays, squirrels, chipmunks, blackbirds, finches, cardinals, doves. Sometimes, when I wake up early, they're all out there staring at my door wondering when vittles are coming! Hummingbirds migrating up from the south soon. My cockapoo likes to watch them too!

WEST'S RULES-BASED ORDER SUPRESSES GROWTH OF AFRICAN, LATIN AMERICAN AND ASIAN COUNTRIES - stresses Putin in 1st video, highlighting how West tries to stop flourishing of multipolar just world in one of most powerful speeches at BRICS summit.
Transition to more just world order being slowed down by forces used to acting in logic of domination over everyone
Behind broad rules-based order imposed on world, there are attempts to contain growing competitors of countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Illegal sanctions, manipulation of currency and stock markets, interference in internal affairs under slogan of "concern for democracy and human rights", and fight against climate change are used, leading to emergence of new conflicts - Putin.

Russia and Iran have almost fully phased out the use of foreign currencies in bilateral trade, the Kremlin has said ahead of the BRICS Summit in the Russian city of Kazan. The two nations cover more than 96% of mutual settlements in rubles and rials, the statement said.
Bilateral trade volume has grown by 12.4% in the first eight months of this year alone, Moscow said, adding that in 2023, it amounted to more than $4 billion. “Both nations’ leadership pays priority attention to developing trade and economic relations,” the statement said.
According to the Kremlin, Russia and Iran are jointly developing several major transport and energy projects, including the construction of new generating units at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in the Islamic Republic and the International North-South Transport Corridor, which will link St. Petersburg, Russia with the Indian port city of Mumbai. - RT

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

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

Scholz's confirmation of the involvement of NATO officers and trained personnel in Ukraine has opened a can of worms and now people are wondering aloud about the precise number of NATO country personnel in Ukraine, yet it is certain that their presence is significant, with contributions from the United States, the UK, France, Poland, and other nations.
The discussion on NATO's role in Ukraine is tense, with accusations of NATO not just aiding Ukraine against Russia but also trying to set up military bases near Russia. Reports suggest the US has placed up to 12 CIA bases by the Russian border, seen as aggression by Moscow. Additionally, there are attempts to limit Russia's military reach and possibly change its regime, with NATO actively involved in this strategy. - TFIGlobal

Russia has carried out major missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian military-industrial facilities, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has announced.
The attack, which took place early on Wednesday, targeted Ukrainian enterprises involved in the production of naval drones, coastal missile systems, munitions for multiple rocket launch systems, and explosives, according to a statement by the ministry.
It was carried out with the use of high-precision long-range air and sea-based weapons, as well as aerial drones, it added.
“The goal of the strike has been achieved. All targets were hit,” the ministry stressed. - RT

We can now safely say that our previous reading of the Israeli situation appears to be accurate. The U.S. is acting as a rudderless ship, rushing to the MidEast out of reflex with no clear gameplan, and is in fact terrified of Iranian escalations. We now know this due to a confluence of new data. Only the truly intuitive can understand the significance of even a moment as that described above, of Raisi, Assad, and MbS projecting solidarity—or even Erdogan being in the same room as Assad, for instance. Israel did not appear to have a good bead on the pulse of the global awakening. They were sclerotically stuck just a few years behind the times, still thinking this was the late 2010s with the peak of Big Tech’s sprawling domination of our minds, and the omnipotent Leftist Narrative seizure. Times have changed, things are unwinding, Israel is losing control. Well, they helped create this shibboleth by pushing Leftist activism to always kowtow to the perceived ‘marginalized’ group. Now no group in the world has as much marginalization cachet as the Palestinians. Israel made it ‘cool’ to be anti-establishment again, the real establishment, for a change. - Simplicius

The BRICS group of countries does not aim to divide the world, but instead advocates for a new global order based on sovereign equality among nations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
Lavrov emphasized that “BRICS is about the world order founded on the main principle of the UN Charter – sovereign equality of states.”
This statement highlights BRICS’ distinct approach compared to Western-dominated institutions such as the G7,
BRICS aims to empower nations to live based on their own civilizational values, without external interference in trade practices or resource management.
“BRICS is not at all planning to divide the world. It is an association of countries that want to live on the lands given to them by God and their predecessors according to the traditions of their great civilizations, including China, India, Iran, Russia, and many other states,” Lavrov noted. “They wish for no one to dictate how they should trade or prohibit them from processing natural resources, as is happening in Africa.” - RT

The Russian military has repelled several large-scale Ukrainian drone raids, shooting down 102 UAVs overnight, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said. The attacks, however, killed at least two people in Belgorod Region – including a four-year-old child – and caused a fire at an oil processing plant in Krasnodar Region.
In a statement on Wednesday morning, the ministry said Russian air defenses had thwarted a number of “terrorist attacks,” shooting down or intercepting 51 drones over Crimea and 44 drones over Krasnodar Region in the southern part of the country. Six more Ukrainian UAVs were downed over the border Belgorod Region and one over Kursk Region.
Russian naval aircraft and coastal patrols also destroyed six Ukrainian unmanned boats in the Black Sea, officials added.
In Belgorod Region, a kamikaze drone hit a civilian car, killing a woman and her four-year-old child, and injuring the other two passengers, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. - RT

Ukrainian efforts to launch raids into Russia’s Belgorod and Kursk regions on Tuesday morning have been thwarted, with Kiev’s troops suffering significant losses, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has reported.
The Ukrainian military, supported by tanks and armored combat vehicles, attacked Belgorod Region simultaneously from three directions at around 3am local time, after first conducting a heavy bombardment of civilian infrastructure, the ministry stated.
All attacks were ultimately repelled by Russian forces, the ministry reported. It claimed that Ukrainian troops were forced to retreat without breaching the border, after suffering heavy losses and being targeted by missiles, artillery, and aviation.
Kiev’s forces lost up to 60 servicemen, five tanks, and one armored combat vehicle in the failed attack on Belgorod Region, the ministry stated.
In Kursk Region, Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups also tried to cross the border near the village of Tyotkino at around 8am local time, the ministry said. Having suffered significant losses, they were ultimately forced to retreat, it added. - RT

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has thwarted a terrorist plot in the central region of Tambov, the agency reported on Monday.
FSB officers detained a Russian citizen in the regional capital, Tambov. The man allegedly planned to carry out an attack on orders from “the Ukrainian special services,” the agency said.
According to the FSB, while patrolling the area near the Tambov railway station, Russian Railways employees noticed a suspicious man placing unknown objects in construction waste. He was detained by railroad security and handed over to the FSB. A subsequent inspection of an abandoned building nearby revealed two homemade explosive devices, which were neutralized by explosives specialists.
During an interrogation, which the FSB has made public, the man reported that in mid-2023, he began visiting websites of terrorist organizations – the Ukraine-based Russian Volunteer Corps and Russian Freedom Legion. He then started communicating with a representative of the Ukrainian special services, who allegedly persuaded him to commit acts of terrorism in Russia. In early March this year, he was given the task of blowing up the Tambov Regional Court and Tambov Arbitration Court, and was allegedly preparing the attacks at the time of his arrest. - RT

Macgregor said the moves by the U.S. were reckless and had resulted in the “highest state of nuclear alert” in the Russian military. He condemned a statement made by U.S. Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan, which claimed the U.S. was prepared to fight – and even win – a nuclear war with Russia.
Such remarks “convince the Russians we are preparing for nuclear war,” said Macgregor, stressing that this U.S. officer could not have made this irresponsible and dangerous remark if his senior officer did not support it.
Macgregor said that this must be swiftly followed by the rear admiral’s immediate removal, and also by that of his commander.
The entire liberal-global order faces a hard reckoning following defeat in Ukraine, as this promises to reveal the deep corruption, money laundering, human trafficking, and immense damage to the European economy partnered with the “hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians,” which Macgregor says the media is simply refusing to report.
“The media have never told the truth,” Macgregor said angrily. - LewRockwell

On Friday, hours after tragedy struck at Crocus City Hall outside Moscow, Zakharova criticized the choice of words in the original statement released by the UN secretary-general’s press office – which said that the international body was “saddened” by the events.
“SADDENED? BY THE SHOOTING? Is that a brawl at a shooting range or something?” the diplomat asked in her post on Telegram.
She cited disturbing eyewitness footage of the “horrific, bloody terrorist attack that does not cause ‘sadness,’ but rather terror, shock, consternation, unconditional condemnation, righteous anger and compassion toward the victims.”
In a revised version of the statement, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN chief, wrote that Guterres “condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack at a concert hall outside Moscow.” - RT

Russian Defenses holding strong along the Entire Front as Uke forces continue to suffer massive casualties! These defenses are rapidly becoming Irresistible offenses!
"THEY DUG THEIR OWN MASS GRAVES", says Russian soldier as Moscow's forces allowed Ukrainian soldiers, trying to cross the Dnieper near Kazachi Lagerya, to go ashore, before firing artillery at the Ukrainian boats that were unloading. In total, about 150 soldiers, mostly mercenaries met their makers (some of them killing each other) - trophies are captured, including dozens of foreign weapons, ammunition, radio stations, and even US police equipment . - Intel Report
TOTAL WIPE OUT: Watch as Russian artillery smashes Ukrainian position in Zaporozhye region (ex-Ukraine), where up to 190 soldiers got mangled or killed. Elsewhere, ammo depot destroyed, and up to 600 Ukrainian soldiers between killed or injured in Donetsk region (ex-Ukraine), more than 130 cannon fodder in Kupyansk, East Ukraine. ⚔SITREP⚔ AUGUST 18

PROBLEM ISN'T WHO CONTROLS TERRITORIES, BUT HOW PEOPLE TREATED IN THEM - Russian FM Lavrov makes Moscow's position very clear on how to reach peace, making it clear nation more interested in how Russian-speakers are treated in reunified regions, rather who governs, stressing Kiev's neo-Nazis doesn't represent population.
As for Zelensky's formula, we never take it seriously. We never wanted someone else's land, we want people who are part of Russia to be treated in proper way according to international laws
UN charter requires to respect human rights of everyone regardless of race, language and religion. This is gist of conflict in Ukraine, 'cause human rights of people who are part of Russian culture were eradicated after coup d'etat.
Now Russian language is banned, Zelensky banned Orthodox Church, and not one initiative tries to ensure human rights of Russian-speaking people in lands Zelensky claims belongs to him - Lavrov.
Territorial exchanges not that serious, problem is human rights trampled upon. When West respects human rights in proposals, peace can be agreed - Lavrov. - Intel Republic

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

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

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

“For Americans convinced by Luckey’s rhetoric that China truly is an urgent threat to them and their way of life, it is actually Palmer Luckey, Anduril, and other companies and individuals like them demanding America “leverage the whole of the nation” by diverting resources needed to thrive at home, toward efforts to antagonize and coerce other nations abroad. This results in transferring the wealth of the American people toward Palmer Luckey’s over-priced weapons and ultimately toward his next new home, rather than toward better education, healthcare, and infrastructure for the average American man, woman, or child. In the end, Palmer Luckey and Anduril pose a much greater threat in reality to the average American and their way of life, than any threat China is claimed to pose in fiction.” - The New Atlas

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

Some Western leaders are so obsessed with sticking it to Moscow that they’re behaving like delinquent youths who have no regard for the consequences of their actions, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.
Washington and its allies are “prepared to balance on the edge of direct armed conflict with us,” even though it undermines their national security, he added.
”There are plenty of people among those in power in the US and other key Western states, who are de facto provocateurs. They’ve made testing Moscow’s resolve the goal of their existence,” Ryabkov said.
Such individuals are political bullies, he added, describing them using a Russian term for delinquents and members of teen gangs who reject any kind of rules. They are preoccupied with crossing any red line drawn by Moscow, regardless of the risk of this brinkmanship, said the minister.
”As they please their own geopolitical notions, they bring closer the phase, in which holding control of events and preventing a catastrophic collapse would be very difficult,” said Ryabkov. “They live in a bubble and do not perceive outside signals that go against their preconceptions” - RT

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

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

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

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

Ukrainian forces on Tuesday shelled the Russian village of Klimovo, Bryansk Region, located some 12 km away from the border between the two countries. The attack left at least two civilians dead and three others injured, the local governor, Aleksandr Bogomaz, said.
The attack set a residential house on fire and damaged several cars, Bogomaz wrote in a Telegram post. The artillery shelling by the “Ukrainian terrorists” targeted the central part of the village, the governor noted.
“Unfortunately, a woman and a child were killed. According to preliminary data, three other civilians were injured. They are now receiving medical assistance,” Bogomaz wrote. - RT

The Russian military has gained control over Constantinople in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Defense Ministry in Moscow stated on Sunday.
According to the ministry’s tally published on Sunday, as a result of Russian strikes over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have lost up to 1,300 service members, one US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system, a US-made MLRS multiple launch rocket system, a Polish-made self-propelled Krab artillery gun, a US-made М777 howitzer, two US-made М113 armored personnel carriers, a US-made MaxxPro armored vehicle, as well as a number of other armored vehicles, artillery guns, electronic warfare systems, and cars.
Russian Air Force, drone, missile, and artillery units have also hit several Ukrainian gas processing facilities, military airfields, and drone assembly workshops over the past 24 hours, the ministry said. - RT

“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

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

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

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

The US and its citizens are complicit in the deaths of the Ukrainian POWs who were killed last week when the Russian Il-76 military aircraft transporting them was shot down by Kiev’s troops, Moscow’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, has said.
On Thursday, Russia’s Investigative Committee released a report stating that the cargo plane was destroyed using two US-made MIM-104A missiles fired by a Patriot air-defense system. The Il-76 came down in Russia’s Belgorod Region last Wednesday. All of those on board – 65 Ukrainian POWs, three Russian troops, and six crew members – were killed.
Russian investigators stated that Ukrainian troops fired the missiles from a staging area in Kharkov Region, not far from the village of Liptsy, some 10km from the Russian border. They based their conclusion on 116 missile fragments found at the crash site bearing inscriptions in English.
Responding to the report, Zakharova said in a Telegram post that US citizens “need to know where their money is going,” arguing that President Joe Biden and his administration have made Americans “complicit in a bloody tragedy.” - RT

Russian air defenses thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow during the night, with no casualties or damage on the ground, according to the city’s mayor, Sergey Sobyanin.
The official said the first of the UAVs was shot down near Podolsk, 40 km south of Moscow, at around 1:20am on Sunday, and an hour later, another drone was destroyed en route to the capital.
In a series of follow-up posts over a six-hour period, Sobyanin reported that more drones were intercepted over the Stupino, Odintsovo, Leninsky and Ramensky districts.
Another UAV reportedly attempted to target an oil refinery in Kapotnya, a district in southeast Moscow renowned for its petrol industry, but was shot down with no damage or injuries on the ground, Sobyanin added.
Meanwhile, the head of Moscow Region’s Kashira district, Mikhail Shuvalov, said the local Kashirskaya Power Plant was targeted by three drones overnight, but that the attack did not cause any casualties or damage. - RT

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

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

Admitting Ukraine into the EU would be an “unthinkable” act, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has stated, adding that accession to the bloc by Kiev could have severe economic and security consequences for Hungary.
Speaking in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday, Orban said that while he would not rule out Ukraine joining the bloc in principle, doing so under the current circumstances would be virtually impossible. “One thing I can say for sure: here and now, this is unthinkable,” he said.
He argued that Ukraine’s membership in the EU “would ruin us,” adding that “first, it would destroy Hungarian farmers and Hungarian agriculture. Second, it would subsequently ruin the entire Hungarian national economy.”
Beyond economic concerns, Orban claimed that Ukraine’s accession would lead to an influx of crime into Hungary. “I also don’t see clearly how we will curb the crime that would inevitably flood into Hungary along with it,” he said. “I cannot think of a single argument that would justify Ukraine’s accession from Hungary’s perspective.” - RT

In 2023, the Israeli Ministry recorded a total of 11 terrorist attacks (not counting October 7) — 1 in Gaza and 11 in the West Bank. None of these were mass casualty attacks. Instead, they were one-on-one attacks, such as a stabbing or ramming a car.
So, how many Palestinians were grabbed by the Israeli Occupation Force in 2023?
There were about 5,200 Palestinians in Israeli prisons prior to October 7 when the Palestinian armed resistance group Hamas launched an attack on Israel, which responded almost immediately with a relentless bombing campaign
There is no justification or excuse for this kind of mass detention. The vast majority of these men, women and children have not been charged with a specific crime. If Israel was reacting to the “terrorist” attacks in 2023, one would expect arresting the perpetrators of those attacks, which means 11 people.
This vast discrepancy further underscores that Israel is not engaged in a lawful anti-crime effort. They are engaged in an illegal, punitive attack on Palestinians. It is racist and has no other purpose than to try to intimidate. The numbers tell the story. It is not Hamas that is the most active terrorist organization in Palestine and Israel, it is the Government of Israel. - Sonar21

The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Sunday that it has destroyed three Ukrainian Su-25 close air support warplanes. The military jets were stationed at the Voznesensk airfield in Nikolaev Region, a strategically important area in the south of the country.
The operation was conducted using tactical aircraft, missile forces and troops’ artillery, the ministry said without providing details. It also reported the destruction of a guidance radar, a combat control vehicle, three S-300 anti-aircraft missile system launchers and two ammunition warehouses. In addition, it damaged a storage facility for unmanned aerial vehicles. The Ukrainian Armed Forces and its military equipment were targeted in 126 areas, according to the briefing.
In total, Russia has shot down 580 Ukrainian warplanes, 270 helicopters, and 17,951 drones since the start of the conflict in February 2022, the Defense Ministry claimed. TASS news agency later reported, citing sources, that Russia had used an S-400 Triumph air defense system, which has a 400-km range. - RT

NATO HAS "NO DESIGNS ON RUSSIA" - U.S Sec of State Blinken continues his tirade of lies at WEF. NATO alliance, defensive alliance with no designs on Russia, never has had them, never will have them, is stronger and larger than it was with 2 countries. So, meddling in Russia’s neighbor's affairs, orchestrating Maidan coup, establishing CIA bases across country, supplying Kiev regime with 100s of BILLIONS of dollars in aid, all that doesn’t mean Washington has "designs on Russia"? Sure thing Blinken, whatever you say. - Intel Republic

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!

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.

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

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.

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

FRANCE CAME TO AFRICA WITH THE SWORD, RUSSIA WITH SINCERITY AND RESPECT - President of African Black Defense League (LDNA) Egountchi Behanzin explains why Africa chooses partnership with Moscow over colonial France and why he came to learn Russian entrepreneurship at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), in an exclusive interview with our channel.
France and Africa not cooperating, it's a slavery policy, neo-colonialism, imperialism. There's no partnership between oppressed and oppressor. France came to Africa by weapons, genocide, wars, plunder and exploitation of African continent and its natural resources
Russia always supported African countries, it's a partnership we're free to accept or not, a win-win mutual cooperation. It's not plundering African continent, not leading imperialist, economic policy that prevents countries from developing
Russia is in a dynamic of a multipolar world, not unipolar one dominated by U.S, it comes to Africa knowing it's necessary to strengthen cooperation to break world order established by Washington - Behanzin. - Intel Republic

As if set off by the chain of recent diplomatic failures, Ukraine’s Kursk front has initiated a rapid unscheduled disassembly, or in other words, a catastrophic collapse.
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 visible chaos in the Biden Administration might be entertaining if this was a Monty Python sketch, or an old Saturday Night Live bit with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. But it isn’t. These clowns are playing with genuine nuclear fire.
That is how the Biden Administration and many of the NATO members are behaving. They are making incredibly belligerent and stupid threats and the Russians, not just Putin, are taking notice and stiffening their spines for a tough response if the West follows through on these threats.
The West’s reckless talk and incitement of Ukraine to launch strikes further inside Russia, going well beyond the immediate border region, is one more indicator that the West is in a full-blown panic. Its plan to dismantle and destroy Russia is in a shambles. When CNN issues a report declaring the M1 Abrams tank is a turkey, you begin to grasp the scope of the unfolding disaster.
And to put an exclamation point on the failure of expensive U.S. war machinery, a F-35 jet enroute from Lockheed’s production facility, crashed and burned outside of Albuquerque.
The Russians are stepping up pressure on Ukrainian forces all along the 900 mile front and it is yielding steady results, as Ukraine surrenders one village after another.
Up north, around Kharhov, the Russians are blowing bridges and making it almost impossible to resupply Ukrainian units on the north side of the river. - Sonar21

“Zelensky's situation can be compared to the humiliation of the King of Prussia, who in 1807 was ordered to stand on the bank and wait for Napoleon and Tsar Alexander to meet on a raft on the river in Tilsit.”
Things are moving ahead even more swiftly than imagined. 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

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.

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

Putin stresses every word so West can hear determined speech above.

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

Even though he is very sick and now hospitalized, Pope Francis finds time to attack Donald Trump and JD Vance over the Trump border policy. Gee, I don’t remember a letter from Francis when Joe 'The Catholic' Biden was promising to make abortion and gay marriage the law of the land…
Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy. Jr. says that the Trump Administration plans to defund abortion nationally and internationally (I wonder if Francis is going to attack that, too).
Although it is popular to claim that all Palestinians are Muslim terrorists, the reality is on the ground is different. In the middle fall this, two Catholic bishops – one from Jerusalem, the other from the West Bank – have an urgent message for the Trump administration and, indeed, for the whole world.
What's the message? Well, let’s just put it this way: Nothing is as it seems!
And finally, JD Vance visits Dachau, which is where the Nazi’s imprisoned and executed thousands of Catholic priests. - Remnant tv

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

The ever-growing anti-Russia sentiment in the West stems from the fact that Russia adheres to traditional values that Western “progressives” are trying to destroy, philosopher and political commentator Aleksandr Dugin said in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson that was posted on the latter’s YouTube channel on Monday.
Carlson asked Dugin why many Westerners, even those who previously supported the Soviet Union, turned against Russia when President Vladimir Putin came to power in the early 2000s and started professing Russophobic ideas. The philosopher said that “Putin is a traditional leader” who defends traditional values, which run counter to those currently in vogue in the West.
“When [Putin] came to power, from the very beginning, he started to extract Russia from global influence. He started to contradict the global progressive agenda… tried with success to restore traditional values – sovereignty of the state, Christianity, traditional family,” he said, explaining that Western progressives saw these developments as being in opposition to their values. - RT

Russia’s military operation in Ukraine is a step towards defeating fascism and Nazism once and for all, former president and head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has said.
In an article marking the 79th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, he wrote that fascism had been officially defeated in World War II but the West has allowed its ideological descendants to continue wreaking havoc by supporting the Kiev regime.
“For many years, even the demonstration of Nazi symbols, not to mention other symbols and ideas of Hitlerism, was legally prohibited in most countries of the world,” he said.
Now, however, he said Russia was being “forced to fight the reincarnation of fascism, its zombie spawn, which embodies the disgusting and cynical great-grandson of Hitlerism – the Nazi regime of Kiev.”
Medvedev said Russia’s victory over the Kiev regime would bring justice against both its nationalist leaders and their “owners, sponsors and ideological inspirers,” who are profiting from efforts to drag out the conflict. - RT

[You want to know why Russia is winning, here's your answer!]
One of the greatest assets of Russian soldiers on the battlefield is their deep faith and devotion to duty, the Russian Defense Ministry has said, releasing a video showing the military’s spiritual bond to Orthodoxy.
On Wednesday, the ministry posted a 90-second video titled ‘With Faith in God, with Faith in Victory’. It features a solemn Orthodox Christian hymn and shows a priest girding for a sermon and kissing a cross, as well as a Russian serviceman preparing for battle, donning a flak jacket, helmet, and picking up an assault rifle.
The video then shows another Russian soldier making the sign of the cross in front of a Russian tricolor and an Orthodox banner, while a group of priests perform a blessing ceremony in front of parishioners.
The soldiers then march into the mist and onto the battlefield. The clip juxtaposes a priest swinging a censer – symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit – with a soldier throwing a grenade into a trench.
The clip ends on an optimistic note, with soldiers returning to their homes and peaceful lives, hugging family members and loved ones. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - According to preliminary reports, about 50 foreign mercenaries were taken out after heavy Russian bombardment on the Grand Palace Hotel, which was converted into a base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region. The Russian military Telegram channel released footage on September 3, 2024, and reported that yesterday, September 2, Russian Iskander missile hit the hotel building late at night, after previously detecting military activity there. Once again, this is nothing new! It seems that Kiev could not really hide the location of foreign mercenaries from social media, as well as Russia. As a result, now the Grand Palace Hotel has left the chat.

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

The Uke Psychopath Leadership can't be eliminated soon enough!
Reacting to the announcement, Simonyan said that Kiev apparently intended to achieve two things.
“One is to block my ability to travel around the world, believing that I will suffer from this. They believe that everyone who supports Putin does not leave the French Riviera. I’ve got bad news for them – the only riviera which I would be upset about not being able to visit is my native Krasnodar Region,” RT’s editor-in-chief said.
“Secondly, they are seeing a narrative in case they do kill me, which they have tried to do several times already,” added Simonyan. “It doesn’t seem nice to go after a journalist, and a mother of several children at that. But if you accuse her of supposedly calling for the deaths of children, that appears much nicer.”
Last July, Russian law enforcement reported thwarting a Ukrainian plot to assassinate Simonyan. The alleged criminal conspiracy involved a group of Russian neo-Nazis, who were offered $16,600 to kill her, according to investigators. - RT

[BRAVO, Russia!]
The US-based company behind the popular language-learning application Duolingo has agreed to remove content potentially violating Russian “LGBT propaganda” laws, the country’s media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has announced.
“The Duolingo company sent a response letter to Roskomnadzor, in which it confirmed that it had removed materials promoting non-traditional sexual relationships from its educational application,” the watchdog told TASS in a statement.
Russia has increasingly tightened its legislation on “LGBT propaganda” since the early 2010s, first banning its dissemination among minors and ultimately expanding the prohibition to adults in 2022. The stance got even tougher last November, when the Russian Supreme Court designated the “international LGBT public movement” as an “extremist” group.
The ban stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the Russian Justice Ministry, which asked the top court to impose it, arguing that the movement had been involved in “incitements of social and religious discord” as well as showing unspecified “extremist traits.” - RT

Ukrainians can’t break through our defenses – Chechen commander
Apty Alaudinov gave an account of Kiev’s offensive after almost a month. Ukraine’s much-heralded attack has not been able to breach any of the Russian defensive lines, but Kiev keeps sending men to their deaths, the commander of the Chechen special force ‘Akhmat’, Apty Alaudinov. “The picture we see is that the enemy, having reached our first line of defense, can’t advance through it. We warned them about this. They realistically do not have the forces and resources, for all that they’ve built them up, to break through our three echelons,” Alaudinov said on the ‘60 Minutes’ evening news show. “Let them waste [their people], as they planned, to the last Ukrainian. They only make things worse for themselves. The realistic result, I’ve always said, will be the same. We will definitely win this battle,” he added.

Myanmar fully supports Russia’s military campaign against Ukraine and is confident in Moscow’s victory, the Asian country’s prime minister, Min Aung Hlaing, has said.
He made the remarks during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Tuesday, stressing that the conflict was instigated by the West.
According to Min Aung Hlaing, the world is moving toward a multipolar order, led by Russia, while the Ukraine crisis has unfolded as a direct result of Western countries’ efforts to resist this shift.
“I am confident that every country must defend itself, its sovereignty, its people, and its interests,” Myanmar’s leader said. “We understand Russia’s situation, and we fully support it in its special operation in Ukraine. And I am certain – I can say this: victory will be yours soon.” - RT

[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

Moscow and Washington need to “clean up the legacy” left by the former US President Joe Biden’s administration that ruined the ties between the two states, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
We have started to move away from the brink of the abyss to which the Biden administration had led us, but these are only the first steps,” Lavrov told lawmakers, commenting on the talks.
“For now, we need to ‘clean up’ the legacy of the Biden administration, which did everything to destroy… the foundation of a long-term partnership between our countries,” he added. According to the diplomat, “the movement towards normalizing relations in all areas is beginning.”
“There is, at least, a declared readiness to start on this course. And to resolve not only the Ukraine crisis, but to create conditions for the restoration and expansion of partnership in trade, economic and geopolitical spheres,” Lavrov stated. He noted that Washington’s representatives expressed marked interest in removing “artificially created” obstacles to potential joint initiatives with Russia in many areas, including economic and foreign policy. - RT

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

Biden’s reversal on ATACMS is another visible sign of growing desperation in the Biden Administration to find some way to boost Ukraine’s faltering military. Biden is willing to risk going to war with Russia in order to quiet Congressional critics that he is not doing enough to help Ukraine stave off the Russians. This is both stupid and dangerous.
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. A very perilous time. - Sonar21

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

Russian forces have struck a freight train carrying military equipment supplied to Ukrainian forces by Kiev's Western backers, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
The combined attack involved aircraft, missiles and artillery, the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
“A train with Western weapons and military equipment was hit in the area of the settlement of Udachnoye in [Russia’s] Donetsk People’s Republic,” it added..
Personnel and equipment from the 67th Ukrainian mechanized brigade were also struck at a railway loading station in the area of Balakleya in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, the ministry said.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have also destroyed five US-made M777 howitzers, two American M102 105mm lightweight towed howitzers, a US-designed AN/TPQ-50 counter-fire radar, a British FH-70 howitzer, and other hardware, according to the statement. - RT

Moscow will not allow Ukraine to continue being a “Nazi state” that poses a threat to both Russia and other nations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. “From the very beginning of the hostilities, the [Ukrainian] neo-Nazis have been cynically using the civilian population as ‘human shields’ and brutally treating Russian prisoners of war. Their main goal in this conflict is to kill as many Russians as possible,” Zakharova explained. “A comprehensive, sustainable and just resolution of the conflict over Ukraine depends, to a large extent, on addressing its very causes. The West must stop pumping up the Ukrainian military with weaponry, while Kiev must cease hostilities and withdraw its troops from Russian territory,” Zakharova explained, referring to the four formerly-Ukrainian regions – Zaporozhye, Kherson, and the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics – that were incorporated into Russia after referendums last fall. - RT

ALEPPO FELL TO 350 MILITANTS - Putin makes stunning revelation on fall of Syria's 2nd-largest city to West-backed extremists' surprise offensive.
Aleppo was defended by about 30,000 people. When 350 fighters entered the city. Government troops, along with so-called pro-Iranian units, withdrew without fight and blew up their positions.
Same happened all around Syria, with some exemptions where there were clashes. We evacuated 4,000 Iranian fighters to Tehran from Khmeimim base - Putin (1st video).
Putin clarifies that Russia had no troops in Syria at time, only two military bases, proposing to be used for or humanitarian needs, also adding he hasn't met with Assad since latter arrived in Moscow.
We maintain relations with all groups controlling situation. Most tell us they would be interested in our military bases remaining in Syria.
We must think about it, because we must decide how our relations with political forces in control now will be, and how they will control country's situation in future.
Our interests must coincide. If we stay there, then we must do something in the interest of the country where we are - 2nd video.

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

"EXCUSE US, WHILE WE "TEMPORARILY" SNEAK INTO YOUR LAND: Overnight, Israeli tanks roll into the Golan Heights (which they occupied from Syria since 1967), into the UN-controlled buffer zone bordering Syria.
Israeli troops can be seen standing atop Mount Hermon, which is the highest point in Syrian Golan (see map, left hand side).
Earlier, PM Netanyahu announced the IDF’s "temporary" seizure of the Syrian Golan Heights buffer zone, citing the Separation of Forces Agreement 1974 (between Israel & Syria) as null & void. The nerve of this guy!
This agreement lasted 50 years, but now that the Syrian army abandoned its positions, the IDF takes over "to ensure no hostile force embeds itself next to Israel."
There is nothing more permanent than "temporary" - especially when it comes to Israel! And that is how, dear readers, Israel likely gains all of Golan. - Intel Republic

In his speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned recurring attempts to “distort the truth” about World War II. In a thinly veiled rebuke of the West, he added that this truth “interferes with those who are accustomed to building their essentially colonial policy on hypocrisy and lies.”
“Revanchism, mockery of history, the desire to exonerate the current followers of the Nazis are part of the general policy of Western elites of inciting more and more regional conflicts, interethnic and interreligious hostility, and restraining the development of sovereign independent states,” Putin said.
Moscow, the president continued, rejects the claims of any state or alliance to exceptionalism. “Russia will do everything to prevent a global conflict, but at the same time we will not allow anyone to threaten us,” he added. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - The Yemeni Navy attack, caused a major fire on board of SOUNION vessel in the Red Sea after it was targeted, whose owner company violated the decision to ban entry to the Israeli occupation ports. The Yemeni Armed Forces released video on August 23, 2024, showing the scene of their operation the day before against the Greek-flagged crude oil tanker, precisely at a position 77 nautical miles west of Hodeidah. The Yemeni Armed Forces have appealed to all ships not to tamper with their data and hide their identities so as not to arouse suspicion, otherwise their ships will be targeted for collision.
The shipping lanes in the Red Sea are completely safe except for ships linked to Israel, America and Britain, and the Yemeni Armed Forces stressed that in the next phase it will be even tougher on ships that violate the decision, in solidarity with the people of Gaza. As a result, SOUNION vessel, which was carrying 150,000 metric tons of crude oil, has been drifting in the Red Sea with its engines off since two days ago due to targeted missile fire. Thus, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced regarding the ship in question, holding firm and not backing down from the promise for almost a year to target the violating ships, despite constant warnings!

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

A federal emergency has been declared in Russia’s Kursk Region amid a cross-border incursion by Ukrainian forces, Russia’s Emergencies Ministry has said.
Kiev’s troops launched their largest attack on Russian territory since the start of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in Kursk Region’s Sudzha district on Tuesday. The Russian military said on Wednesday that the advance of the invading force had been halted but that Ukrainians remained in some areas in the district.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday that over the past 24 hours Russian warplanes and artillery struck Ukrainian troops near the settlements of Daryino, Gogolevka, Melovoy and Nikolsky, as well as and on the western outskirts of Sudzha town.
In the area of the Yuzhny settlement, five US-made Stryker armored personnel carriers operated by Kiev forces were destroyed in an airstrike, according to the ministry. Near the village of Martynovka, a Ukrainian column consisting of a tank, four armored personnel carriers and a Kozak combat armored vehicle, was also struck by Russian warplanes, it reported.
Overall, Ukraine has lost 945 servicemen and 102 armored vehicles since the start of the incursion, the ministry said. “The operation to destroy the Ukrainian military units continues,” it pointed out. - RT

A Russian source has announced that Russia has now tested, for the first time, a Fab-1500 version of the UMPC glidebomb and it’s said to have hit its target accurately. Reportedly, Su-34s can carry upwards of 2 such bombs. Another big piece of news came with the revelation that Russia has used the Kinzhal missile fired from a Su-34 platform for the first time: Russia is winning the artillery war despite the contrary complaints from 6th columnists, in both total attrition and the simple mathematics of things like range. Numerous videos and stories continue to pour in of Ukraine’s losses. Here head of Ukrainian medical services admits the losses are “massive.

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!

ALL NATO OFFICIALS SHOULD BECOME A TARGET FOR RUSSIA - says furious former Russian Prez Medvedev in fiery statement, after British publication The Times penned opinion piece mocking death of Russian top General Kirillov, calling assassination "Legitimate act of defense", exploiting it to push West into giving Ukraine "All support it needs" to do more of the same (article pictured above).
It's impossible to ignore bastards in The Times calling terrorist attack against Kirillov and his assistant "legitimate act of defense" in their editorial. Well, according to this logic:
1. All officials of NATO countries who provided military assistance to Bandera's Ukraine are participating in war against Russia. Their name is legion. I will not list them, it's a pity to take up space. All these people can and should be considered a legitimate military target for Russia, and all its patriots
2. People who committed crimes against Russia always have accomplices. And they're also now a legitimate military target. They can also include the lousy jackals from The Times, who cowardly hid behind the editorial. So, this is the entire management of the publication.
Logical? Quite! And therefore, be careful! After all, a lot happens in London - Medvedev (pictured). - Intel Republic

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

Ukrainians bomb hospitals, Russians bomb military facilities.
Russia has announced that its forces have conducted a range of missile strikes targeting Ukraine’s military-industrial base. Kiev has confirmed the attacks, admitting that its air defenses failed to intercept most of the projectiles.
In a statement on Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had carried out “a group strike” using high-precision sea- and air-based weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. The barrage, which took place in the morning, targeted military-industrial facilities, officials said, without providing details on the results of the attack.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the attack targeted various types of facilities in Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Khmelnitsky regions as well as in the parts of Zaporozhye region controlled by Kiev. - RT

[The entire family of Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland should be charged with war crimes and brought before the International Court and if they won't appear sanction them so they can't leave the US for fear of retribution. They are lower than the worst human.]
The US is essentially encouraging Ukraine to commit more atrocities by providing Kiev with a new shipment of long-range munitions, Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to Washington, has said.
On Wednesday, during a visit to Kiev, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said that GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) munitions (which can hit targets at a distance of up to 150km) were already on their way to Ukraine.
Nuland, a foreign policy hawk, is widely seen as one of the key figures in the 2014 Maidan coup which led to the toppling of then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and plunged the country into turmoil. The US official ended up in the media spotlight after she famously handed out pastries to protesters in the Ukrainian capital in late 2013.
Commenting on the announcement on Thursday, Antonov called it “irresponsible” and “simply shocking.” He described the GLSDB delivery as “a kind of a reaction to the terrorist attack by Ukrainian thugs” on an Il-76 Russian cargo plane with 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war, three Russian troops, and six crew members aboard. - RT

Any Western-backed Ukrainian attack against Russia’s Crimean Bridge or Crimea itself will be met with a powerful revenge strike from Moscow, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
The warning follows a recent post by Ukraine’s envoy to the UN, Sergey Kislitsa, which had a threatening tone, implying that the bridge connecting the Russian peninsula to the Krasnodar Region will not be standing by the end of the year.
According to Zakharova, Kiev is openly preparing for a new attack on the Crimean Bridge, with the support of the West. She told a press briefing on Friday that, on the eve of May 9, Russia’s annual Great Victory Day commemorating the Soviet defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, “the Kiev regime and its Western masters are hatching plans for new terrorist attacks on Russian territory.”
“I would like to again warn Washington, London, Brussels, that any aggressive actions against Crimea are not only doomed to failure, but will also be met with a retaliatory blow,” the diplomat said. - RT

The Russian Defense Ministry on Wednesday released a new video showing heavy thermobaric TOS-1A Solntsepyok systems attacking Ukrainian positions in a border area of Kursk Region.
The nighttime video shows the launchers firing multiple projectiles at the Ukrainian forces. The hits were observed by a surveillance drone equipped with a thermal camera, footage shows.
While designated as a heavy flamethrower in Russia, TOS-1A is effectively a multiple rocket launcher system, designed to fire massive 220mm thermobaric projectiles.
The munitions, also known as aerosol or vacuum explosives, disperse a cloud of high explosive gas or liquid that is then ignited, producing a powerful blast with extreme temperatures and pressure.
The system has proven to be an important tool in Russia’s arsenal, capable of obliterating heavily fortified positions.
According to the latest estimates from Moscow, the Ukrainian invasion force has sustained extremely heavy casualties since the beginning of the attack on Kursk Region.
Up to 54,000 Ukrainian servicemen have been killed or wounded, with more than 300 tanks, over 230 infantry fighting vehicles and nearly 180 armored personnel carriers destroyed. The invasion force has lost other assorted high-value assets, including over a dozen US-supplied M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS launchers. - RT

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

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

[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

Some Ukrainian units have suffered casualty rates of 85% during their ongoing counteroffensive against Russian forces, Western mercenaries told ABC News on Thursday. The report aligns with casualty figures released by Russia, which claims that its forces have destroyed 43,000 Ukrainian troops in two months. An American veteran fighting with Ukrainian special forces near Donetsk told ABC that his unit of "dozens" of men took "85% casualties" during an assault on a village near the city two weeks ago. Of those hit, 40% were injured so badly that they were left “combat ineffective” afterwards, he added. His comrade, another American, said that the unit met "very organized resistance" from Russian troops. A third mercenary, from an unidentified Western nation, told the network that he was seriously injured in the early days of the counteroffensive, and that around 80% of his battalion had since been wounded.
As Ukraine struggles to breach Russian lines during its counteroffensive, the attacks are taking a heavy toll on its armored formations, with vehicle losses numbering in the dozens in just one sector of the front, Bild reported on Thursday, citing video materials reviewed by its journalists. Citing Russian drone footage, Bild claimed that during the battle for Staromayorskoye, Kiev’s forces lost at least 31 armored personnel vehicles, including 23 mine-protected NATO-supplied vehicles.

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!

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said that US President Joe Biden’s latest opinion piece for the Washington Post once again highlighted the essence of Washington’s security doctrine, which is to provide for America’s interests at the expense of others. The US supposedly makes itself safer by pouring money into “its own military industry” and starting “wars on other continents,” Medvedev said Sunday in a post on X (formerly Twitter), calling it “the essence of the American security doctrine.” - RT
"Not one country could have withstood this - yet Russia did", says Kremlin Spokesman Peskov. "In 2022, sanctions threatened to collapse the Russian economy - so we mobilized all resources. The scale of sanctions is unprecedented; no country in the world would theoretically be able to withstand such a blow. Thanks to the wise decisions of the leadership and the titanic work of the Cabinet of Ministers, it was possible to stabilize the economy and even reach a growth trajectory. Still, the 3% growth rate of the Russian economy is insufficient, we are aiming for higher." - Intel Report

Strikes by the United States and its allies on Yemen are a violation of the UN Charter, and they can’t be justified, Moscow's envoy to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, told a Security Council meeting on Friday.
Moscow convened an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting after the US and UK carried out attacks against alleged Houthi military positions in Yemen in the early hours of Friday without authorization from the UN body.
“It is one thing to protect commercial shipping, attacks on which are unacceptable, but it is completely different to disproportionately and illegally bomb another state,” the Russian diplomat said, adding that the coalition’s aggressive actions are contrary to Article 2 of the UN Charter.
Vassily Nebenzia remarked that “no legitimate mandate” exists for bombing Yemen, and it is even more ridiculous to talk about the right to self-defense “a thousand miles from one’s own borders.” He added that Article 51 of the UN Charter, referenced by his “Western colleagues,” cannot be applied to cases involving commercial vessels. The diplomat said that the right of self-defense is not invoked to ensure freedom of navigation. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Fighting on the Kursk border, the soldiers of Russian Armed Forces destroyed Ukrainian militants after their positions were detected as temporarily settling in residential houses. Russian military correspondents published video on August 22, 2024, FPV drone attack scene with heavy lifting capability carrying 4 kg of thermobaric bombs, that directly hit enemy positions. The scouts noticed a special group of Ukrainian militants, who were carrying a bag of ammunition and hiding it in the extension of the house. Soon, two more militants joined them, and they all took refuge in the house. The attack was carried out on the militants, the house was destroyed first. After that, six militants tried to evacuate a wounded comrade to a nearby barn, but the barn was also destroyed. The last two militants took refuge in an extension, but a targeted strike was also carried out there.
In a separate place, a Russian strike destroyed a house, on the upper of which there were several Ukrainian militants. Four survivors escaped from the ruins from another house to this house. However, they were immediately wipe out by thermobaric, which immediately smoked the house and the roof flew everywhere due to the explosion. According to information provided by Russian correspondents, no one got out of there after the attack. The maneuverability, range, acceleration of Russian FPV drones are now unmatched!

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!

"The Ukrainian and Western intelligence services are expanding the circle of possible perpetrators, recruited to commit high-profile crimes inside Russia,” Bortikov said. Kiev and its foreign backers are also assisting “international terrorist organizations,” which train and provide equipment to those people, he added.
"A vivid example [of such activities] is the involvement of Ukrainian military intelligence in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall near Moscow that was established by us,” the FSB chief stressed.
Since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, a total of 134 terrorist and sabotage acts have been prevented in central Russia, according to Bortnikov.
Russian security agencies have also intercepted the activities of 32 international terrorist cells, which were composed of migrants from Central Asia, and prevented attacks on key infrastructure and areas of mass gatherings, the FSB chief said. - RT

A Direct HIT! Russian KH-101 Cruise Missiles Destroyed NATO Objects In ODESSA, KHARKIV, & KRYVYI RIH
On the night of January 25, Russia launched another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine. This time, military facilities on the territory of Odessa, Kharkiv, and Kryvyi Rih were attacked. In all these cities, the air alert sounded throughout the night. Witnesses claim that after a series of powerful explosions, fires began to break out in different parts of these cities. According to preliminary data, during today's missile attack, Russia used about 50 KH-101 cruise missiles and about 70 jet-powered 'Geranium' kamikaze drones. The missile launches were carried out using Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers. - BORZZIKMAN

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

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

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.

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!

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

Russian air defenses successfully intercepted several Ukrainian drone raids across the western part of the country overnight, destroying dozens of aircraft, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry said the military had thwarted “attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out a series of terrorist acts” on Russian territory. It claimed that Moscow’s forces had destroyed a total of 50 Ukrainian drones – 26 were shot down over Belgorod Region, ten over Bryansk Region, and eight over Kursk Region, officials added. All of the areas border Ukraine.
The ministry also reported the downing of several aircraft deeper into Russia, saying that two were intercepted over Tula Region. It added that individual drones were destroyed in Smolensk, Ryazan, Kaluga, and Moscow Regions. - RT

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!

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!

The Russian Foreign Ministry has accused Ukrainian forces of executing civilians in a Donbass town as part of a “false flag” operation designed to wrongly frame Moscow for war crimes. Witnesses claim that mercenaries, including alleged Polish nationals, carried out the killings before retreating in the face of advancing Russian troops.
One testimony came from Vladimir Romanenko, who described how Ukrainian soldiers killed five of his family members and burned their bodies. “I went out into the street and heard shouting. A short man was shouting, ‘Everyone out of the house, face the wall!’ And he began to shoot,” Romanenko said. He explained that he managed to escape but later identified the bodies of his wife, sister, son, grandson, and niece, all of whom had been shot. - RT

The SHOCKING TRUTH: That's Why Russia Officially Backed IRAN's Harsh Actions Against ISRAEL
Well, my friends, my predictions regarding the situation in the Middle East have come true again. As you remember, after the Israeli attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, which killed several employees of the Iranian diplomatic mission, including two high-ranking generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, I stated that Tehran would respond to this attack by significantly increasing support for its proxies in Yemen, Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip. Moreover, I also stated that as an indicative flogging, Iran could launch a missile attack on strategically important Israeli facilities. At the same time, as I said earlier, Iran will do everything possible to avoid dragging Tehran into a real open war against Israel. And as time has shown, all my predictions have come true again.- BORZZIKMAN

The deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has hailed US Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, calling it a rare moment of American honesty about Europe’s weaknesses and Vance himself “a brave guy.”
In his speech on Friday, Vance touched on the migration crisis, security, freedom of speech, and apparent democratic backsliding on the continent.
Medvedev said Vance “unexpectedly lit up” the conference, calling his remarks a harsh but truthful indictment of modern Europe.
“Everyone expected to hear the usual partner-like curtseys to Europe and comments on Donald Trump’s words about the end of the Ukrainian conflict. But he went and harshly scolded the Europeans who have completely lost themselves in recent years: your democracy is weak, your elections are crap, your rules that violate normal human morality are crap,” Medvedev wrote.
He added that the Europeans would retaliate against him if he did not hold such a high post. “However, they will forgive him; they will begrudgingly accept the humiliating rebuke from their senior partner with resentment,” Medvedev concluded. - RT

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.

FROM A HOTSPOT: Ukrainian soldier reports from Avdeevka, Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine) - which is currently seeing heavy fighting . Every day, they're losing around 13 people in the meat grinder, he says. - Intel Report
The news is not good for Ukraine. Its troops retreated from these areas today under heavy pressure from Russian forces. This should dispel the nonsense that there is some sort of stalemate. Nope. Russia is moving forward and Ukraine is falling back.
The following video provides dramatic footage of Russian soldiers attacking entrenched Ukrainians and rooting them out — i.e., killing, capturing and forcing a retreat. In addition to the fighting on the frontlines, there are reports of escalating political intrigue, mayhem and attempted “murder” back in Kiev. If you are part of the Ukrainian hierarchy this is more than worrisome. Nothing distracts from the business of fighting a war like sowing fear and paranoia among the political and military leaders. - Sonar21

CNN reporters have never known such a rout! The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, answered a question from a CNN journalist that the conduct of a special military operation by Russia in Ukraine allegedly violates international law. In response to this question, Zakharova touched on the topics of referendums in Crimea, Donbass in Donetsk (DNR) and Lugansk (LNR). Also, Zakharova stressed that the United States considers itself exceptional and interprets international law in its favor, or violates it themselves. Also, Zakharova mentioned the illegal incursions of NATO and the United States into the territory of Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iraq, and so on.- Russan News

Russian fighter jets stationed in Syria have carried out airstrikes against jihadist militants attacking the northern city of Aleppo, the spokesman for Moscow’s expeditionary force has said.
The Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group and allied militias attacked government-controlled territory in northern Syria on Wednesday, breaking a fragile truce mediated by Russia and Türkiye in 2020.
“Providing support to the Syrian Arab Army, the Russian Aerospace Forces are carrying out missile and bomb strikes on the equipment and manpower of illegal armed groups, command posts, warehouses, and artillery positions of terrorists. Over the past 24 hours, at least 200 militants have been eliminated,” Colonel Oleg Ignatнuk, the deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, told reporters in a briefing on Friday. He added that another 400 militants were killed by Russian and Syrian forces the day before. - RT

Given the history of the American intelligence services’ intimate relationship with the media in the US and beyond, anyone who believes the CIA’s DNA isn’t all over this sea change in reporting is exceptionally naive.
The playbook for licensing war is actually quite simple. First, demonize your enemy – call him an orc, call him a terrorist, cultivate fear among your own population and convince it that its enemy is not the grossly incompetent government that consistently spends billions of its tax dollars on foreign wars, but the peoples of far-off lands who most likely suffer their own privations due to those very same perpetual wars.
For those of us who wish for a just peace and an end to forever wars, there is an absolute obligation to challenge the client media’s deceptive licensing of conflict. These needless wars impoverish and immiserate not only the victims but the duped populations of the countries from which they emanate. It is, after all, Western taxpayers that unwittingly fund this grotesque circular profit mill, a meat grinder that sucks in human lives and spits out vast wealth for a tiny elite, the same tiny elite intimately related to the political class seeking to justify those needless conflicts. All licensed and peddled as morally defensible by the ever-loyal client media. - RT

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

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

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.

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

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.

[Great Work, Russia, pour it on an enemy that sees no problems targeting civilians because it's being destroyed in the field!]
Russia carried out a large-scale attack against the Ukrainian energy sector and its anti-aircraft defenses overnight on Thursday to Friday, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Friday. The attack involved different types of projectiles, including hypersonic air-launched Kinzhal missiles and kamikaze drones.
All objectives were successfully carried out and all designated targets hit during the strike, the ministry said in its daily briefing. The military did not name the exact location of any of the targets.
According to the Ukrainian military, the country was targeted with a total of 99 projectiles, including some 60 suicide drones and three Kinzhal missiles. Kiev, which has routinely claimed to shoot down incoming projectiles at exceptional rates, said some 84 of the munitions had been shot down. This time, however, it did not claim any Kinzhal kills.
Despite the Ukrainian military’s claims, hits were reported in multiple locations across Ukraine. Hydroelectric and thermal power plants, as well as natural gas storage and transit infrastructure, are believed to have been targeted in the overnight strike. - RT

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. Now it’s being confirmed by Western sources that Russia has been increasing use of fully automated AI versions of the Lancet: Meanwhile the U.S. continues to experience weapons woes as the much-vaunted test launch of their new Minuteman III ICBM over the Pacific Ocean was apparently deemed a failure. - Simplicius

Against the background of heavy losses of the Israeli Army in manpower and heavy equipment during the ongoing ground operation in the Gaza Strip, the Russian army continues to deliver targeted missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine, destroying the last remaining ammunition depots, which for a long time did not allow Moscow to put a final end to the agony of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 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

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.

The Ukrainian military launched a major attack in Kursk Region on Tuesday, targeting Russian positions to the southeast of the town of Sudzha, the Russian Defense Ministry has said. The initial attack was repelled, with heavy casualties inflicted on Kiev’s forces.
The assault involved up to two mechanized battalions with dozens of armored vehicles. The thrust was concentrated around the villages of Ulanok and Cherkasskya Konopelka, located some 9km to the southeast of Sudzha, the Russian military said.
Ukrainian forces advanced towards Russian positions in several waves, but failed to seize the settlements, the ministry noted. At least six tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles, three assault breachers, and 14 other armored vehicles were reported destroyed.
Videos circulating online purport to show the Ukrainians advancing in large convoys that include engineering vehicles, tanks, and other armor. The convoys suffer repeated strikes by fiber optic-guided drones, with multiple vehicles ending up disabled or destroyed. - RT

Gonzalo Lira, a national of the US and Chile, has died while in jail in Ukraine. Lira passed away on January 11, with his family reporting his death the following day. The US Department of State then confirmed it.
“So we are now allowing our foreign welfare recipients, such as Zelinski [Zelensky], to kill our citizens and our journalists?” Donald Trump Jr. wrote.
Following the journalist’s death, his father, Gonzalo Lira Sr., said that his son had been “tortured” while the US Embassy in Kiev “did nothing” to help him.
“The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden,” Gonzalo’s father wrote in a note published by the Grayzone. - RT

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

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

The Ukrainian military’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region has cost it dearly, with Kiev’s forces suffering 6,600 casualties and losing 73 tanks in their cross-border offensive, according to the latest figures published by the Russian Defense Ministry.
In the three weeks since the incursion began, Ukraine has lost more than 6,600 troops, 73 tanks, 34 infantry fighting vehicles, 62 armored personnel carriers, 432 armored fighting vehicles, and 201 other motor vehicles, the ministry announced on Tuesday.
Russian forces have also destroyed 45 artillery guns and 13 multiple-launch rocket systems, including four US-provided HIMARS launchers, the ministry added. - RT

“Let’s start with the fact that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin has already failed in his objective. He wanted to flatten Ukraine. He wanted to ensure that they had no sovereignty, independence, agency, no democratic future – because a democratic Ukraine, a European Ukraine, is a threat to his model for Russia, among other things, and because it’s the first building block for his larger territorial ambitions,” Nuland asserted, without providing any supporting evidence.
Victoria Nuland has been widely perceived as one of the key figures behind the whole Ukrainian crisis that started with the Maidan events, which ultimately brought down Ukraine’s democratically-elected president, Viktor Yanukovich, in 2014.
The diplomat, who at the time was Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, infamously showed up among Maidan activists, handing out pastries. The affair became widely known as “Nuland’s cookies,” serving as a textbook example of direct US involvement in the coup. - RT

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called Yeryomin’s death a “bloody crime,” noting that it “cannot be considered anything other than an act of revenge for the honest performance of a journalistic duty.”
“We regard this purposeful and cold-blooded murder of a journalist as another confirmation of the ugly terrorist nature of the Zelensky regime, which has opened a real hunt for Russian media workers, military officers and public figures, who... reveal the truth to the world community, present undeniable facts about the crimes of the militants of the Kiev regime,” she said in a statement on Saturday.
The UN also condemned the attack that resulted in Yeryomin’s death, with spokesman Farhan Haq telling TASS news agency that the global body opposes the killing of journalists and believes that each such case requires a full investigation.
According to military expert Gennady Alekhin, who spoke to Izvestia, drones often target journalists specifically.
“This is not the first case of a targeted attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on media representatives,” Alekhin noted. - RT

HORRIFIC U.S. ARMY WAR CRIME PHOTOS UNCOVERED, after reporters and families of slain civilians fought U.S. justice system for years to finally release pictures showing true face of so-called democracy America brings to the world. Below are some of the horrific details.
Chilling photos reveal details of 2005 Haditha massacre by U.S. Marines in Iraq, when army convoy hit by roadside explosive, killing one Marine, sent occupation soldiers into rage-fueled mass murder of civilians.
Busting into 3 nearby homes, they slaughtered 24 innocents. First killing 5 men driving to college (previously published 5th photo), then murdering entire families, including mothers and their children, youngest a 3-year-old.
One Marine, pointed his rifle at a 15-year-old girl hiding under bed and shot her dead - children aged 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 murdered in arms of mothers trying to protect them (horrifying pictures above - dead marked with red numbers for identification by killers).
All American murderers had their charges dropped, with then Defense Chief Mattis hailing them as heroes and dismissing charges. - Intel Republic

The US and Israel have isolated themselves as the two most evil governments on earth. By complying with Washington’s foreign policy, the European puppet governments find themselves despised by their citizens.
Eleven months ago Russia’s president Vladimir Putin described the West to the Russian Federal Assembly:
“They behaved just as shamelessly and duplicitously when destroying Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. They will never be able to wash off this shame. The concepts of honor, trust, and decency are not for them. Over the long centuries of colonialism, diktat and hegemony, they got used to being allowed everything. They grew accustomed to spitting on the whole world.
“It turned out that they treat people living in their own countries with the same disdain, like a master. They cynically deceived them too, tricked them with tall stories about the search for peace, about adherence to the UN Security Council resolutions on Donbass. The Western elites have become a symbol of total, unprincipled lies.” - LewRockwell

UKRAINE COMMITS WAR CRIMES IN KURSK (pre-war Russia) - grim footage above reportedly shows Russian civilians strewn across hot concrete, shot dead by Ukrainian forces during Kursk incursion, as Zelensky's Nazis crushed on battlefield, resort to "creativity and prowess" horrific crimes against humanity.
Ukrainian drone also struck civilian vehicle, killing driver, injuring others, as Commander of Russia's Chechen Akhmat forces Alaudinov reports "Ukrainian Army on war-crime spree in Kursk.
Ukrainians settled down in building's ground floor, chased children and teachers upstairs to use as human shields. I received huge number of photos in which civilians were simply shot at point-blank range, in head and back. All unfortunately, died - Alaudinov, stressing suicidal foray going nowhere and West-backed troops on way to defeat. - Intel Republic

[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

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

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - FPV drone of Russian Armed Forces greeted a Slovenian-made armored personnel carrier armed with 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and some modified with 20 mm automatic cannons, carrying a group of military passengers to attack Olgovka in the Kursk region. A video went viral on social media on August 21, 2024, showing a rare BOV wheeled vehicle engulfed in flames after being hit by a drone while driving on an asphalt road in West Olgovka. One of 26 BOV supplied by Slovenia, carrying about eight Ukrainian soldiers plus the commander and driver, had a large burning fragment fall from the vehicle as it drove. Meanwhile, Russian drones documented the destruction process, in which only one lucky soldier managed to escape from the vehicle, which could carry a total of ten people.
Judging by the battlefield images, it seems that Kiev’s invasion of the Kursk region, will soon involve all kinds of weapons and equipment showered by the West. But, the BOV vehicle represents one of them, burning almost everywhere along the border since the beginning of this month. Analysts have called the Ukrainian offensive on Kursk the worst military operation of the 21st century in terms of the ratio of results to resources spent. In a video on August 22, one Ukrainian prisoner told the story, saying, “We were destroyed and all the vehicles were burned. I am grateful that I was captured and I am alive,” he said.

Russian tech infrastructure has not been affected by the global Windows 10 outage, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media has reported. The crisis illustrates the importance of becoming self-sufficient in terms of critical software, the ministry has stressed.
Windows 10 users around the world, including airports, banks and broadcasters, suffered serious failures on Friday, triggered by a recent update of the web/cloud-based CrowdStrike antivirus platform. Problems have been reported in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Germany, Spain, the US, and several other countries.
According to the Russian ministry’s press office, “so far, there have been no reports of crashes at Russian airports,” as quoted by TASS.
“The situation with Microsoft once again demonstrates the significance of import substitution of foreign software, first of all – at critical information infrastructure facilities,” officials added. - RT

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

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – On the evening of February 12, 2025, Russian forces once again launched a swarm of kamikaze drones, massively targeting the Port of Reni in the southern region of Odessa, near the border of Romania and Moldova. Footage circulated virally on the internet, showing Ukrainian air defenses continuing to try with all their might to shoot down, reportedly about 50 Russian drones appeared in the sky in different regions, lighting up the night in the Ukrainian city of Reni. The main blow was aimed at the port infrastructure and logistics structures in the port of Odessa and other ports in Odessa region, especially Reni, the main NATO transportation hub for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the left bank of Danube River. Thus, some Geraniums turned out to be faster and reached their targets, causing a series of powerful explosions.

Lavrov the Giant vs. Blinken the Worm, a KO in the First Round!
Moscow has never closed the door to dialogue to end the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday, reiterating that the country's key goal remains stopping NATO’s unchecked expansion towards its borders.
Lavrov rejected a recent claim by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who alleged that Moscow has shown no “willingness… to engage, to negotiate in good faith” to end the conflict with Kiev.
“It’s not true,” Lavrov stressed, adding that Russia has always been ready to discuss “any serious proposal” that addresses the situation on the ground and the root causes of hostilities. Moscow is also willing to reach a solution “which would guarantee legitimate national interests of Russia and the Ukrainian people,” the diplomat stated.
Lavrov reiterated that Russia is prepared to listen to anyone interested in establishing “justice” in relations between Moscow and Kiev. He insisted, however, that this would require the West to stop its policy of “using Ukraine as an instrument of war against Russia.”
Lavrov recalled that Russia has long voiced concerns about NATO expansion. “The goal is very simple… we’ve been warning publicly since 2008… that NATO’s expansion against all promises [to Russia and the Soviet Union]… was going too far,” he said. - RT

Shocking revelations from a new investigation expose Ukraine's Unit No. 110 for conducting horrifying, banned experiments on people, including children, foreign mercenaries, and Russian POWs.

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

France is preparing its forces for deployment to Ukraine, the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin claimed in a statement on Tuesday. Paris allegedly seeks to send as many as 2,000 troops to Ukraine, he said.
Russia’s military and top officials have repeatedly pointed to the presence of French mercenaries already fighting for Kiev on the ground. In mid-January, the Russian Defense Ministry said that more than 60 foreigners, predominantly French nationals, had been killed in a high precision strike against a “temporary assembly point of foreign fighters.”
The French soldiers would indeed become “a legitimate priority target for attacks by the Russian Armed Forces,” Naryshkin said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has also claimed this week that Western mercenaries, including French nationals, are dying in Ukraine “in large numbers.” Commenting on a potential NATO deployment to Ukraine, the president also warned that this would be “one step shy of a full-scale World War III.” - RT

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.

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 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

Here’s the legacy of the West’s “humanitarian” crusade for democracy, cities turned into graveyards of sovereignty and hope. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Yemen - nations with rich histories and thriving cultures, now shadows of their former selves, reduced to rubble and chaos.
This isn’t liberation. This is the business model of endless wars: destabilization, regime change, and a blueprint of destruction disguised as freedom. Beneath every crumbled building lies a pipeline plan, a looted treasury, and an empire’s economic hitmen smiling in their boardrooms.
The irony? These very nations were thriving before their “democratization.” Iraq with its grand mosques, Libya with its unparalleled social welfare, Syria, a cradle of civilization; Yugoslavia with its cosmopolitan harmony, and Yemen, the ancestral homeland of resilience. Each one offered their people stability, infrastructure, and a future before they became targets of the Hegemon's appetite for control. - Intel Republic

115,000 UKRAINIAN TROOP LOSSES JUST IN LAST 2 MONTHS - Russia's Security Chief Shoigu announces latest jaw-dropping casualty count of Kiev's cannon fodder, stressing it all could've been avoided if Zelensky agreed to Putin's peace proposal back in June, instead of obeying West orders to fight "Until last Ukrainian".
Russian forces capture yet another DPR town, Timofeyevka Shoigu adds "Territory liberated by our troops increased by 420 square kilometers" [About 100 times as big as New York's Central Park - 80,000 times as big as a Football field].
This could have been stopped if demands outlined in June by our president had been met. Therefore, our position is clear, understandable, troops are moving forward.
West and Ukraine trying to achieve pause in hostilities to give Ukrainian Armed Forces chance to regroup, but we don't trust their words, we rely only on concrete actions - Shoigu. - Intel Republic

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.

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

The American governmental scheme is sliding ever closer towards a pervasive authoritarianism.
The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State.
This steady slide towards tyranny, meted out by militarized local and federal police and legalistic bureaucrats, has been carried forward by each successive president over the past fifty years regardless of their political affiliation.
Frankly, it really doesn’t matter who occupies the White House, because it is a profit-driven, unelected bureaucracy—call it whatever you will: the Deep State, the Controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the corporate elite, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—that is actually calling the shots. - LewRockwell

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

[Typical Trump, NO brains, just the mouth of an out-of-control Ego, the rest of the world be damned!]
The presumptive Republican nominee for the November presidential election and his team are discussing penalties against both allies and adversaries who seek to divert their trade from the greenback to other currencies. The options could include export controls, currency manipulation charges, and tariffs, the outlet said, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the news agency, Trump’s economic advisers and his campaign team have specifically considered curbing de-dollarization efforts by BRICS countries.
“I hate when countries go off the dollar,” Trump told CNBC in March. “I would not allow countries to go off the dollar because when we lose that standard, that will be like losing a revolutionary war,” he said, adding that it would be a “hit” for the US. - RT

No way to make this pretty. Donald Trump’s decision in 2019 to withdraw the United States from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which was negotiated during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, is one reason that Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will start producing medium-range missiles:
This is an elaborate and potentially deadly game of international chess. The US withdrew from the INF. Russia held its fire and did not launch a program to build such missile systems. Now, after the United States brought these weapon systems to Europe and conducted a military exercise that simulated an attack on Russia, Putin effectively announced that Russia will start building a new group of medium-range cruise and ballistic missiles with an effective range of 500 to 5,000 kilometers.
Given the decrepit state of the Western industrial capacity, it is highly likely that Russia, as it has done with hypersonic missiles, will dramatically outpace and outproduce the West in bringing these new missiles as just one more weapon system it can employ against the West, if needed.
Putin’s decision comes on the heels of a report warning that the United States is incapable of producing essential, high-tech weapons without continuing support from China: - Sonar21

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

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!

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

Russian forces have carried out major strikes against numerous targets in Ukraine, including airfields and energy infrastructure, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported on Monday.
In a regular update posted on its Telegram channel, the ministry stated its military had struck energy facilities and an oil refinery used by the Ukrainian army.
Russia also targeted UAV workshops and storage sites for unmanned boats.
In addition, the ministry stated, Russian forces had used tactical aviation, drones, missiles and artillery in strikes against various concentrations of enemy forces and military equipment in 132 districts.
The update also revealed that Russia’s air defense systems had shot down four US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, a French-made Hammer guided aerial bomb, and 42 aircraft-type UAVs.
The ministry had earlier reported that the Russian military had hit a compound used by Kraken, a Ukrainian nationalist unit designated by Moscow as a terrorist organization. - RT

[Outstanding, Russian Armed Forces! God go with you as He has so many times in perilous battles, Borodino to name one!]
Russian forces have carried out 23 combined strikes on Ukrainian targets in the past week, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
The attacks, which took place between June 29 and July 5, involved both “high precision weapons” and drones, the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
They hit Ukrainian airfields, as well as energy infrastructure used to power the country’s military-industrial complex. Sites where Kiev’s missiles were being stored and prepared for launch were also successfully targeted.
Russian missiles and UAVs also destroyed fuel depots used for Ukrainian hardware, and assembly shops for aerial drones and unmanned boats, the ministry added.
During the past week, Russian air-defense systems shot down two Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29s and one Su-27 jet, five US-supplied ATACMS missiles, 14 Storm Shadow cruise missiles that had been donated by Britain, 42 rockets for US-made HIMARS, and Czech-made Vampire systems, as well as 451 drones of various types, the statement read.
The total losses incurred by the Ukrainian military over the past seven days have reached up to 13,500 servicemen, according to the defense ministry. The most intense fighting apparently took place in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where more than 7,700 Ukrainian troops were killed or severely wounded. - RT

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

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.

“You leave the dollar and you’re not doing business with the US, because we are going to put a 100% tariff on your goods” Trump said - RT
Some comments follow:
[Clearly, he doesn't understand WHY the world is dumping the dollar.
Sound plan... If you wish to implode your service sector economy.
Well, they will just sell their products elsewhere. And USA will be stuck with more inflation.
Trump: Sanctions are hurting the Dollar. Also, Trump: We are going to threaten everyone who doesn't want to use the Dollar anymore. You up the tariffs, people won't export to you anymore. You lose.
Donny, if you're in a hole, stop digging
The problem is that US can't survive without imports because they don't make anything anymore, so they need Chinese and Mexican goods more than Chinese need the dollar. And if Chinese demand yuan for payment the US must comply they have no other choice.
that's blackmail Trump....sorry.]
A broad trend towards using national currencies instead of the greenback has gained momentum following the massive economic restrictions introduced against Russia by the US and its allies in the wake of the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022. After being cut off from the Western financial system, Moscow has turned to alternative options for settlement, with some of Russia’s foreign partners following suit.
Last week, the presidential candidate pledged to substantially reduce the use of sanctions by Washington if he is reelected in November. Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, Trump acknowledged that the curbs imposed by the US on other states are damaging for the dollar. - RT

A message from Father Issa Thaljieh, Greek Ortodox priest at the Church of the Nativity.
The Grotto of the Nativity, located inside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, is the very place where Jesus was born. This small cave is the place where the Virgin Mary gave birth to our Savior, where Joseph supported and took care of Mary and Jesus. In this sacred place, the light of Christ entered the world, not in a palace, but in a simple cave, showing us God's infinite love, a love that entered the world not through riches or power, but through peace, and grace. - Intel Republic

Any auras of optimism surrounding Zelensky’s latest whirlwind world tour have died down and things have settled back into the same old bleak progression as Russian forces continue plowing forward on every front, and even opening up new ones. All the while, Ukrainian prospects are looking grimmer by the hour, with Germany announcing that aid will be halved next year from €8B to €4B and rumors suggesting no heavy equipment will be provided any longer amongst that aid, as there is little left to give.
Now it appears that the cancelled Ramstein meeting, nixed under the guise of prioritizing hurricane Milton, will not be rescheduled at all:
In reality, Russia continues to signal maximalist intentions, which means Ukraine stands to lose far, far more than its tawdry pundits allow themselves to imagine.
Another major Kursk assault reclaimed more territory for Russia, with the Kursk bulge shrinking rapidly for Ukraine. - Simplicius

Moscow has ample reasons to distrust Ukraine and its Western backers given their history of broken promises, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. He accused Kiev of consistently undermining its own interests with each act of “cheating.”
Russia has “burned [its] fingers” many times dealing with the West, Lavrov said in an interview with podcasters Mario Nawfal, Larry Johnson, and Andrew Napolitano published on Wednesday.
He stated that the Ukraine crisis could be traced back to at least 2004, when the country’s constitutional court “expanded, without any right, the constitutional procedures” and ordered a third round in a presidential election, resulting in a victory for a Western-aligned candidate.
The 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, the Minsk agreements, and the 2022 Istanbul peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were also examples of missed opportunities, Lavrov added.
Lavrov noted that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky had received a hero’s welcome in the UK after his clash with Trump at the White House last month.
“It’s an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia,” Lavrov said.
Moscow will not compromise on “the fate of the Russian people,” he added, referring to Russian citizens and ethnic Russians in Ukraine. - RT

US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland’s visits to Ukraine have always been an ill omen for the embattled country, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has suggested when asked for comment on her recent visit.
Peskov made these remarks to Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, who published excerpts from the interview on Saturday. While suggesting that the Foreign Ministry might have a better assessment of the trip of the outspoken US foreign policy hawk, Peskov still provided his opinion on Nuland’s latest endeavor.
“As a rule, Victoria Nuland’s visit to Kiev does not bring anything good. We remember this from 2014, when she was handing out cookies,” Peskov stated.
The spokesman referred to the infamous episode of the Ukrainian Maidan turmoil. At the time, Nuland, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, showed up in Kiev amid the unrest in early December 2013, giving out snacks to protesters.
The official has been widely perceived as one of the key figures behind the Maidan events, which ultimately brought down Ukraine’s democratically-elected president, Viktor Yanukovich. “Nuland’s cookies” have become a well-known example of direct US involvement in the coup. - RT

In December of last year, a construction team made a shocking discovery at the disused ward, finding documents as well as medication and medical equipment related to secretive research conducted while the city was part of Ukraine.
The experiments took place for years in at least eight medical facilities across Mariupol, with leading Western biotech corporations allegedly benefiting from them, according to the documents.
“We’ve found documents that suggested thousands of people have been involved in the experiments, with the trials carried out for major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, and others. Blood and other samples were collected and then sent to labs and clinics in Europe and the US for testing. The results of which are unknown,”
The research was not only conducted on adults, but also on children and babies, the documents suggest. As well as being ethically questionable, the experiments on minors likely made the clinical trials illegal, a Russian doctor told RT - RT

ISRAELI ARMY TERRORIZES RESIDENTS OF +2 DOZEN LEBANESE SOUTHERN TOWNS INTO LEAVING HOME (statement above), claiming "We'll let you know when it's safe to return home" - last time Israel claimed that it occupied their land for 18 years - in preparation for new wave of bloodthirsty bombing and possible alleged "limited" ground invasion at borderline areas.
IDF's Spox makes up new lie to justify incursion, fabricating in 2nd video "Hezbollah prepared 'Conquer Galilee' invasion of Israel, similar to October 7, to break into settlers' homes, massacre innocent women and children", also claiming, "War not against Lebanon, we don't want to harm civilians".
Check out how Israel "does its best" not to harm civilians, flattening entire neighborhoods in Beirut's suburbs (3rd video), then massacring refugees its bombs displaced, like 5 baby Scouts (pictured) among 45 civilians murdered in Saida's displaced people bloodbath. - Intel Republic

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s recent visit to Washington was a “complete political and diplomatic failure” for Kiev, according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
On Saturday, Zakharova criticized Zelensky’s “outrageously boorish behavior” in Washington, stating that his actions confirmed “he is the most dangerous threat to the world community as an irresponsible warmonger.” She emphasized that Moscow has repeatedly highlighted Zelensky’s “inadequacy,” corruption, and inability to negotiate.
“Everyone should realize how unambiguous such outbursts from the terrorist leader sound,” she said in a statement on Telegram. According to the diplomat, “in the current increasingly deteriorating political conditions for the Kiev regime, [Zelensky] is unable to show a sense of responsibility and is therefore obsessed with continuing the war, rejecting peace, which for him would be like death.”
Zakharova described Trump’s reprimand of Zelensky at the White House as a “sobering dressing-down” unprecedented in international politics and diplomacy. She asserted that this incident also highlights the “political weakness and profound moral degradation” of European leaders who continue to back Zelensky, whom she characterized as “insane” and disconnected from reality.
Following the spat, EU nations, including France, Germany and Poland rushed to defend the Ukrainian leader and expressed their support for Kiev. - RT

Russia has found evidence that Ukraine has violated the Chemical Weapons Convention, a top military commander stated on Monday.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who leads Russia’s chemical and biological defense forces, said that the engineering troops discovered a laboratory that was apparently used to produce hydrogen cyanide – an extremely dangerous and highly toxic agent that had been used as a chemical weapon during World War I.
The facility is located near Avdeevka, a fortified Donbass town liberated by Russia in February, the general said. The improvised laboratory itself was found inside a partially partially destroyed building in an industrial area, which also had a chemical processing plant. The facility had a rotary evaporator and several chemical reactors. Protective clothes, including US-made gas masks and Polish hazmat suits, were found on the site.
According to Kirillov, the samples taken from the facility and analyzed in Russian military laboratories contained traces of sulfuric acid and sodium cyanide, which can be used to produce hydrogen cyanide. Traces of cyanide anions – poisonous chemical compounds of the cyano group – were on multiple equipment, the general said. - RT

Russian leader calls tragic bloodbath "never-healing wound" after kneeling at its memorial (2nd video), vowing retribution for West-backed crimes in Donbass and Kursk regions, expressing confidence in defeating Kiev's Nazis just like Caucasus terrorists.
On September 1, 2004, group of 32 terrorists loyal to Chechen warlord stormed School in Beslan in Russia's North Ossetia region, taking 1,127 children and staff hostage, holding them captive for 3 days, before terrorists' violent clash with Russian forces ended siege, with 334 of hostages dead, including 186 children. - Intel Republic

Each passing day brings more dire news for Ukraine, as Russia steps up attacks all along the line of contact. Russia is pursuing a swarm strategy — think of a swarm of bees attacking you. You can fend off one angry bee, maybe two or three. But when you are being chased by a dozen bees, and that number is increasing with each passing minute, you are in big trouble. That is Ukraine’s situation today. Russia is launching attacks at multiple points, simultaneously, all along the line of contact, extending from Sumy in the north to Zaporyzhia in the south. The Russian goal is pretty transparent — force Ukraine to deploy limited resources to counter these new attacks and, in the process, weaken Ukraine’s defenses. At some point, Ukraine will break; exploding like a balloon filled with air beyond capacity.
Meanwhile, Russia started its tactical nuclear weapons exercise today. That means this exercise had been planned well in advance. This is not something ginned up in the aftermath of Putin’s announcement from two weeks past. The exercise is a clear message to the West - Sonar21

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz “is known for his simple-minded ideas,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said at a press conference in Vientiane, Laos.
He was commenting on a statement by Scholz earlier in the week about the possibility of abandoning the deployment of US missiles in Germany if Russia ends its military operation against Kiev.
At a press conference in Berlin earlier this week, Scholz dismissed concerns that the plans could further escalate tensions with Russia. He argued that Moscow must first end its military operation against Kiev to prevent the deployment of US long-range missiles in Germany.
Lavrov said, “no one asked Scholz whether the Germans want this deployment or not.” “He again, simple-mindedly, when the news came out, said: ‘I welcome the US decision to deploy the missiles in Germany’… he did not hide the fact that the decision was American,” the minister stated.
Lavrov stressed that the problem is not the deployment of the missiles, explaining that Moscow’s military operation aims “to eliminate threats to Russia’s security that were created in Ukraine, [where] NATO military bases were planned to be deployed, including in the Sea of Azov.” - RT

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!

"Just straight up fascist. Not much else to say. Not much shocks me, any longer, but the arrogance of most US/UK/EU elites continues to amaze me. 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.

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

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

Many countries are seeking membership in BRICS because they are tired of the “hidden” and “sometimes open aggression” of the US and are looking for new forms of cooperation, Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said on Sunday.
Zakharova said that “the world is tired of American attacks” and “is voting for a different form of relationship.”
Nations would like to keep building ties on the principles of international law, “but since Washington, like some kind of maniac from its own Hollywood movie, destroys everything with a lawn mower, a saw, or some kind of an ax, the world is forced to look for new forms of interaction,” she explained. And these forms are the likes of BRICS, but not NATO, according to the Russian diplomat. - RT

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!

"When feminism was just emerging, it was based on the noble idea of fighting for equality for women. However, in the West, feminism has degenerated and radicalized. It became militant,” she stated.
Modern feminism “has turned into a struggle... against men, against traditional values,” the senator said, adding that one example of this is “the child-free movement, which, in my opinion, should be made illegal.”
The EAWF promotes a “different platform,” standing for “the preservation of key traditional values of mankind,” according to Matvienko.
More than 2,000 women, including 600 foreign guests from 126 countries and international organizations who are attending the forum, share Russia’s values of “traditional family, children, parents, the preservation of the culture and traditions of all nations,” she went on to say. - RT

Looking at the latest tally of destroyed Ukraine equipment since the start of the operation tells the real story. So far, the Russians have knocked out almost 600 Ukrainian warplanes, 265 helicopters, almost 11,000 UAVs, 450 SAM systems, 14,645 tanks and armoured vehicles, 1,202 rocket launching systems, 7,750 artillery pieces, and 17,507 special military vehicles. Unbiased experts put the number of Ukraine dead at between 400 and 500 thousand combatants. And the number of wounded surely exceeds a million by now.
And finally, let’s remember that the elitist-controlled Western media, the politicians, and the so-called experts have been telling us Russia was finished for years now. Sanctions, the blown-up pipeline, and the weapons and money dump to Zelensky were supposed to weaken Russia. This is not the truth. Russia is more vital now than ever since the 1980s, militarily and economically. This points to another point of lost logic. Why would Russia want to take over states protected by NATO? Europe is a consumer continent. It’s where a billion people need feeding, not a breadbasket for good Russian families. There is nothing in Europe that Russia needs. It is Europe, on the other hand, that desperately needs Russia and the other BRICS countries. So, who are the most likely aggressors in all this?

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.

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!

Russia tried to resolve tensions with Kiev and its Western backers peacefully, but the other side did not negotiate in good faith, President Vladimir Putin has said on the anniversary of Russia’s reunification with four former Ukrainian regions.
”You all know how those negotiations ended: with lies, fraud, deceit from the Western elites, who have since turned Ukraine into their colony, a military foothold against Russia,” the president said.
”They deliberately fostered hatred and radical nationalism, incited enmity towards anything Russian, supplied weapons, sent mercenaries and advisers, prepared the Ukrainian Army for a new war, to again, like it did in the spring and summer 2014, conduct punitive action in the southeast,” he added. - RT

- 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

Niger rebels advise that the US aid that Nuland has withdrawn is irrelevant - should be used to fund Nuland's weight loss programme instead. It is common knowledge that the common people see only a small percentage of US aid given to the country - the money largely goes to corrupt politicians that help prop up the US imperialistic grip on Africa and elsewhere. - Intel Report
Russia's Foreign Affairs Spokeswoman Zakharova comments Victoria Nuland’s trip to Niger yesterday: “Nuland thought that with Niger you can do the same as with Ukraine - cookies in a plastic bag will win you all the friends? Such a banana republic, as she has in Kiev, can't be found elsewhere." - Intel Report

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!

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!

Moscow has dismissed Vladimir Zelensky’s much-touted eight-point ‘victory plan’ as nothing but a “plan for the misfortune of Ukraine,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said in a statement.
Spokeswoman Zakharova responded to the five points of Zelensky’s plan at a press conference, calling them nothing more than a “set of incoherent slogans” and “bloody foam on the lips of a neo-Nazi killer.”
Commenting on Kiev’s “hysteria” about being invited into NATO, she alleged that the only place the West sees for Ukraine in its “security architecture” is “in a coffin and Ukrainian citizens in graves.”
“That is why they brought this clown to power, who was supposed to finish off Ukraine as a state and kill as many Ukrainians as possible,” Zakharova said.
“Taken together, all of those points and secret sub-points are not a ‘plan’ for Zelensky’s victory. This is a plan for the misfortune of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zakharova surmised, adding that it is aimed at “yet another extortion of money and a presentation of [Kiev’s] terrorist capabilities.”
“Today, Zelensky has finally proven to everyone that he hates Ukrainians to such an extent that can be described as Ukrainophobia,” Zakharova concluded. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – The footage shows the moment when a group of foreign mercenaries was wiped out by Russian forces near Konstantinovka during an evacuation attempt. The Russian military channel released footage on February 21, 2025, showing the failed evacuation of troops fighting for Kiev on the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway, discovered by Russian scouts, and then subjected to heavy shelling. Konstantinovka, this is the main thing, because it is a serious logistics area, the main clashes are concentrated in the area of the transport interchange on the highway, where Ukrainian forces launched a counterattack. There were reports by representatives of the Russian Security Forces on February 19 that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had removed Polish mercenaries deployed near Konstantinovka.
During the attack, Russian drones dropped several mortars, hitting the vehicle before it even had time to leave the place. It is unknown how many foreign mercenaries were being transported somewhere, but the documentation shows significant destruction of the vehicle and the troops inside it as at the end of the video. Most likely all the passengers were killed! Russian forces continue to launch attacks on the transport interchange area on the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway, where Russian units are consolidating their important positions along the route.

WHO'S NEXT AFTER SYRIA? Polish leader Braun poses sobering truthful question before EU Parliament in video above on which anti-imperialist nation is NEXT on West's barbaric chopping block after fall of Assad government in Syria to HTS TERRORISTS, spitting nothing but unapologetic facts as always.
God bless everyone, the Syrians and everyone else. The question is, who is the next one that you are going to nominate as a bad guy? Someone to eliminate, to delegitimize, someone that you want to help rob, kill?
Who is next? Because as I listen to your debates here, every time you nominate someone, you say Russia, obviously China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania. These are the countries that you don’t like.
You want to drag Europe into war. All this time you have been grotesque with your warmongering. Now you are becoming more and more dangerous to people of Europe and the world. So who is next, Madam Commissioner, who are you going to eliminate? - Braun, video above. - Intel Republic

The scene that came on August 15, 2024, showing the mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers and even women, was a big mess for Kiev in every sense. This group of twelve people, came to the positions of Russian troops on the border, they did not want to maintain Zelensky's plan with Western partners, in the early days of their invasion of Russian soil there's not even light at the end! - Military Tube Today

A Ukrainian artillery strike on Tokmak in Zaporozhye Region, Russia has killed multiple people, including three children, Governor Evgeny Balitsky confirmed on Saturday.
“As a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces of a Tokmak apartment district, several people were killed,” Balitsky said. He added that over the past several hours, the bodies of ten people were recovered from the rubble, including three children. Two people are listed as missing.
On Wednesday, a Ukrainian drone strike killed an adult and two children when it dropped an explosive on their car in Kursk Region, which borders Ukraine. Kiev has increased the frequency of its attacks on Russian civilians and infrastructure over the past month, after being pushed back on the front lines in Donbass. - RT

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

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!

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

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

HARD BLOW FOR UKRAINE LOSING HARD-WON VILLAGES TO RUSSIA - mainstream publication above reveals liberation of Urozhaynoye and Staromayorskoye, Donetsk (ex-Ukraine) a heavy loss for Kiev's army, with Ukrainian soldiers themselves describing "Russian assault troops determined and motivated force".
Loss of villages was a blow for Ukraine coming amid recent Russian gains along many parts of 600-mile front line, because Ukrainian infantry fought so hard to capture them during the bloody counteroffensive.
For men who had been defending Urozhaynoye since October it was doubly hard. Up to 100 [add zero] men were killed or went missing over three months of fighting and commanders were bracing for recriminations from military high command, which usually demands soldiers hold their positions to the last.
Battles took place in ruins, from basements. There were a few trenches, but no defensive structures, it was impossible to build them.
Wounded could only be evacuated at night,so there came a moment when it made no sense to keep people there. The end, when it came, was lightning fast and forced rapid retreat from village - Ukrainian troop describes hellish battles. - Intel Republic

Though summarily booted off Fox News only ten months ago, Tucker Carlson has single-handedly pulled off the journalistic coup of the century. He’s now the envy of the myriad sycophants in mainstream media newsrooms, who do nothing more than read the scripts given them by their handlers, all of whom are in the pay of their globalist masters. Predictably, they’re attacking Carlson on cue, meaning he’s over the target.
Way to go, Tucker!
He just enabled us to witness a two-hour candid encounter with one of the world’s most important leaders.
Those of us who’ve listened to Putin’s speeches in the past—especially his remarkable speech from February 24th, 2022, when he announced his reasons for beginning a military operation in Ukraine—were not surprised to find him a highly intelligent, knowledgeable leader with an unflappable demeanor. But as Tucker’s interview with him proceeded, we also got a glimpse of his candor and wry sense of humor.
Predictably, the Putin demonizers—i.e. the mainstream media, Dems, RINOs, the globalist Left, etc.—are clearly scrambling to enact damage control now that millions of Americans have seen for themselves, by virtue of Tucker’s two-hour interview with the Russian President, that Putin is no bogeyman after all. And that means we’ve been lied to for years. - LewRockwell

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 8, 2024…
- Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi admits that Russia outnumbers Ukraine in terms of manpower, arms, and ammunition;
- General Syrskyi also admits that new Ukrainian conscripts are not properly trained, with less than 2 months of training before being sent into combat;
- General Syrskyi claims that his incursion into Kursk, Russia has forced Russia to redeploy forces to Kursk, grinding Russia’s offensive to a halt elsewhere despite all evidence suggesting otherwise including pro-Ukrainian map projects;
- Ukraine complains about a lack of air defenses following increasingly large and effective Russian missile and drone strikes;
- The UK has announced it will supply Ukraine with up to 650 air defense missiles, however these missiles have not been produced yet, with the first batch to reach Ukraine no earlier than the end of the year;
- The UK, under Labour leadership, is continuing its support of Ukraine uninterrupted and is only flagging because the UK’s ability to produce and supply arms and ammunition is limited;
- 650 missiles will likely not last past 2-3 large Russian missile strikes; - The New Atlas

Good to see the Warmongering Globalist West put on notice that enough is enough with your tyranny! Congratulations, President Putin! You and Russia have many supporters worldwide!
The US has tried to use globalization as an instrument to secure its dominance in the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin told VTB Bank’s ‘Russia Calling’ Forum on Thursday. Washington has not hesitated to take advantage of other nations, including its own allies, to achieve this goal, he said, adding that the world now has a chance to build a new, “truly democratic” global economy.
Globalization was supposed to benefit all members of the international community and give every nation an equal opportunity to thrive, but “nothing like this happened in practice,” Putin said. The US had its own vision of the globalized world in which it would be positioned at the top, he told the forum. The West sought to artificially contain the economic growth of nations it considers to be on the “global periphery” and treats them like colonies, he said. “In fact, the US… exploited its allies just like any other actor of the global economy,” the president said. - RT

Right On TARGET! Russia Destroyed NATO Underground Facilities In Kyiv and Two Ukrainian Factories!
On January 13, 2024, Russia launched another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine. According to preliminary data, 6 Mig-31K Fighter Interceptors, 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers, 7 Tu-22M3 bombers, 9 Su-35 fighter jets, and 8 Su-34 fighter bombers took part in this missile attack. In total, more than 40 missiles of various types were fired at military facilities located on the territory of Ukraine, ranging from the hypersonic missile Kinzhal to the cruise missile KH-101. Moreover, dozens of the latest jet-powered 'Geranium-3' kamikaze drones were also used during this missile attack. - BORZZIKMAN

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.

The West PANICS: Putin Ordered To Put The World's Most Powerful IRBM 'ORESHNIK' on FULL ALERT
Against the background of the successful advance of the Russian Army on the battlefield, the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to launch massive and combined missile strikes against enemy military objects and energy infrastructure facilities located throughout Ukraine. At the same time, it is worth noting that these missile strikes occur with a difference of 24-48 hours. By the way, on the night of December 9, Russia launched a fairly powerful missile strike against targets in Sumy, Kiev, Chernihiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Ternopil, and Vinitsa regions. - BORZZIKMAN

Today’s surprise comes out of Moscow, with an announcement from the State organization charged with investigating major crimes that the Ukrainian company Burisma was involved with financing terrorists:
The top law enforcement body named the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as one of the implicated organizations. U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served as a member of Burisma’s board of directors between 2014 and 2019.
A career CIA officer, with no experience in the oil and gas industry beyond pumping gas for his own vehicles, gets a sweet spot on a board alongside Hunter Biden. Before joining the board of Burisma, Mr. Black snagged a spot on the board of a Latvian Bank:
Cofer Black’s ostensible qualification for serving on the Bank’s board was his background in counter terrorism. In an interview with DELFI, a business magazine, Cofer claimed expertise in terrorist financing:
Going back to the charges leveled by Russia’s Investigative Committee, if Cofer Black was on the Burisma Board during the time that Burisma funds were being transferred to groups with ties to terrorists, then it is quite understandable that Russia will be inclined to believe the CIA is implicated, at least indirectly, in terrorist attacks in Russia. - Sonar21

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!

UK ARMED FORCES: READY FOR RUSSIA, BUT CAN’T LEAVE THE BASE (see pic): nearly 10% of Britain’s military unfit for duty, with shocking 13,522 troops medically undeployable and another 14,350 only “partially” deployable (that’s over 27,000 soldiers who wouldn’t even make it to battlefield, let alone survive it).
British Defense Ministry calls this normal in article above, claiming, "90% of our personnel are deployable," while ex-minister Heappey says missed dentist appointments inflate numbers as target sizes missed across all branches - Army, Navy and Air Force.

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!

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!

Russia's Newest Missile Destroyed Two US Patriot Systems In Kyiv┃Moscow Doesn't Stop Missile Strikes
It looks like the bear got really angry. On January 2, 2024, Russia launched another missile strike on Ukraine. At the same time, it is worth noting that this missile attack turned out to be much larger than in the previous days. According to preliminary data, during this attack, Russia used 15 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles, 120 air-to-ground missiles of various types, and about 70 'Geranium' kamikaze drones. Let me remind you that two days ago, on December 31, Russia used only 10 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles in a missile strike on Ukraine. As you can see with each new missile attack, the number of involved 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles is growing with enviable regularity - BORZZIKMAN

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

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

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

The US ordered the French authorities to arrest Telegram founder Pavel Durov as part of its sanctions framework, Ekaterina Mizulina, the head of Russia’s Safe Internet League and a member of the Civic Chamber, has claimed.
Writing on Telegram on Sunday, Mizulina said that Durov’s arrest at a Paris airport, reportedly on charges related to alleged complicity in fraud, drug trafficking, cyberbullying, and promoting terrorism, did not come as a surprise to her.
“I have long believed that traveling outside of Russia is a big risk for Telegram owners, as they could be arrested at any moment,” she noted, recounting that similar incidents where people had been detained at the behest of the US had occurred before.
“It is obvious that the arrest is an attack on TON [a blockchain-based platform originally developed by Telegram’s creators] in which major Russian companies have invested. That is, in part, a continuation of the US sanctions policy,” she stated. - RT

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.

I’d say the big advantage is that Russians are fighting for Russia while Ukrainians are fighting to please foreign countries.
Russian troops receive decent training at their rear bases before being sent to the front line, and the country’s military is gradually expanding its capabilities, retired Ukrainian General Sergey Krivonos said on Sunday. The servicemen are also well-motivated and have high morale, he added.
“They [the Russians] in the deep rear, even in the territory of Russia, have actively organized the training and formation of new units, which undergo good training, high-quality training, which gives them opportunities,” the retired general stated.
“They have something to sculpt from. With properly organized training, the proper use of the weapons that they build up, they achieve certain successes,” he added.
The Russian military has greatly expanded its unmanned aircraft capabilities, with the use of FPV-drones on the front line growing twofold recently, Krivonos noted. Apart from this, the Russian troops also exhibit high motivation, due to high morale as well as decent pay, he said. - RT

As is often the case in American politics, President Biden is just as, if not more, guilty of posing an “existential threat” to the Constitution as those he smears as “extremists.” For example, President Biden and members of his administration have waged a campaign to undermine the First Amendment by “encouraging” companies to suppress the expression of “unapproved” views online.
The government officials wanted Amazon to remove from its online catalog books containing “misinformation” regarding the safety and effectiveness of covid vaccines, meaning anything questioning the government’s pro-vaccine propaganda.
It is clear that the US government has been a major spreader of covid disinformation, while those challenging the government’s pro-mask, pro-vax, and pro-lockdown propaganda have been the truth-tellers. Covid is an example of why protecting the First Amendment is vital to protecting not just liberty, but also our prosperity and health.
Congress should prioritize its investigation into the Biden administration’s efforts to silence Americans because of their views. Congress should then impeach all high-level federal officials, including President Biden, who took action to violate Americans’ First Amendment rights. - LewRockwell

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.

The US will hurt its own economy, as well as the global financial system, if it follows through on its threat to expropriate frozen Russian assets and give them to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
Washington has long advocated for seizing Russian funds held in Western jurisdictions. The money would then be handed over to Kiev for its war effort against Russia. A new push came on Saturday, after the US House approved a bill authorizing the confiscation of Russian money. If the White House follows through, it will set “a dangerous precedent,” Peskov said.
”This would be nothing short of a breakdown of all foundations of the [global] economic system,” he told journalists, reiterating Moscow’s position. “In no way could that be considered a lawful action.”
The US will face retaliation by Russia as well as legal challenges, Peskov said, which “will cause serious damage to the economic interests of the US,” since “many nations and many investors would certainly think ten times before putting their money into the American economy or parking assets there.” - RT

[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

Elites have become authoritarian, using illiberal liberalism, greenism, and identity politics to compel, coerce, and punish. Their self-righteousness breeds narcissism. Sturgeon used "I," "me," and "my" 153 times in her resignation speech, while "Scotland" appeared only 11 times. Covid added to the disdain for voters. Politicians locked us down, raged against dissent, and embraced authoritarian tendencies. New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern’s "Zero Covid" experiment was praised by globalists but angered citizens. She resigned as prime minister in January 2023 with her lowest poll ratings, while Labour suffered its worst defeat in decades. - TFIGlobal

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – A powerful blow destroyed the Ukrainian assembly area, camouflaged in a forest belt near Boromlya in Sumy region, and the powerful explosion forced the survivors to quickly leave their positions in panic. The Russian Defense Ministry released a short video on February 19, 2025, showing the results of the brilliant work of Russian intelligence officers, how to find the concentration of troops and the parking lot of large Ukrainian equipment from the 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade near the village of Boromlya south of the city of Sumy. Last time, it seemed that Ukraine was trying to prepare a major attack, but something similar happened again after a while an Iskander tactical ballistic missile flew there, among the large equipment parked in the forest.
Iskander's precise strike, hit an area between dozens of cars! Before the attack, the footage showed dozens of vehicles stationed at the hideout, including at least 2 MLRS, several APC, and MRAP and supply vehicles. Ukraine lost in a blow, among others recorded 2 MLRS 300 mm "Olkha" or Smerch destroyed, 6 IFV and MRAP damaged and destroyed, 8 light vehicles, and 2 cargo transport units destroyed by the Russian Army. At least 30 members of the brigade were killed, while some survivors rushed to a vehicle some distance from the explosion site, in a hurry to find safety.

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.

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!

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

WE HAD A FEW PARTY POOPERS OVER THERE - Russian FM Lavrov reveals the usual culprits wrecking ASEA security (not in those words).
USA, Japan, Korea, Australia & New Zealand - Lavrov names which countries prevented the adoption of the final declaration of the ASEAN summit in Laos.
He notes that Western countries politicized the document to the extent that no agreement could be reached.
Further, U.S ideas of creating military blocs like an "Asian NATO" carry serious risks of confrontation in the region - Lavrov says.
Meanwhile, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam are all interested in joining the BRICS+, the summit for which will take place on October 22-24 in the Russian city of Kazan. - Intel Republic

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

Using interest from frozen Russian assets to make loans to Ukraine is against international law and will backfire on the West, Moscow’s Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov has said.
The US and the EU blocked an estimated $300 billion in assets belonging to the Russian central bank when the Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022. More than two thirds of the funds, around $213 billion, are being held at the Brussels-based clearinghouse Euroclear.
“Of course, these decisions taken by the US and the EU are not lawful, they contradict the principles of international law, the UN Charter, they go against everything there is,” Chebeskov told reporters on Friday.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that seizing its assets would amount to “theft” and not only violate international law, but undermine reserve currencies, the global financial system, and the world economy. - RT

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

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

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

“These pressures are not just kinetic, not just military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well,” Kellogg said, adding that action “to change Iran for the better” should be taken without delay.
“We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action,” he added, apparently referring to rising tensions in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. - RT

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

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for December 3, 2023 all from Western Sources
- Russian forces continue to make incremental gains along the line of contact including in Marinka, southwest of Donetsk City as well as in Avdeevka outside Donetsk City;
- Ukrainian President Vlodymr Zelensky announces Ukraine is on the defensive, an oblique admission that various Ukrainian offensives have failed and that future offensives are not feasible;
- Continued admissions come from across the West of an inability to ramp up military industrial production and specifically in relation to artillery shell production;
- FPV (first person view) drones are not an adequate replacement for artillery shells, however they have created dilemmas on both sides in regards to anti-access area denial (A2AD) capabilities;
- Because of Ukraine’s ability to acquire even small amounts of artillery shells, FPV drones, and landmines, Russian offensives will require slow, methodical approaches focused on attrition to avoid large numbers of casualties and equipment losses;
- Despite claims that Russia is already suffering such losses because of operations around Avdeevka, pro-Western “Mediazona” shows increased Russian losses, but nowhere near the scale Ukraine’s General Staff are claiming; - The New Atlas

Morally Bankrupt General Raytheon speaks!
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

- Long before headline grabbing protests, color revolutions, armed conflicts and even war, the US spends years laying the ground work to politically capture a targeted nation;
- Part of this process involved building up cadres of indoctrinated young people through fellowships and scholarships who eventually work their way into a targeted nation's media, political system, and academia;
- The US maintains a large number of programs including its various "Young Leaders Initiatives" folding young people into Western personal and professional networks as well as providing funding for starting pro-Western political, media, and educational organizations;
- These cadres eagerly serve Western interests at the expense of their own nation's sovereignty and best interests as a means of maintaining their place within the personal and professional networks they were included in through such "exchanges;"
- Nations can combat this interference by creating their own pipelines through sovereign educational systems, producing journalists, political leaders, administrators and professors who work for their own nation's best interests, culture, and values; - The New Atlas

[No compromises, you will unconditionally surrender, Ukraine, for your crimes against humanity encouraged by your NATO handlers or Perish!]
Ukraine does not intend to cave in to Russian demands and consider formally ceding the territories it claims as its own to Moscow in order to end the conflict, Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, has said.
Speaking to reporters in Washington ahead of next week’s NATO summit, Yermak signaled that, while Kiev is open to any advice that could help to end hostilities with Moscow and achieve a “just peace,” Ukraine’s red lines remain unchanged.
“We [are] not ready to go to the compromise for the very important things and values... independence, freedom, democracy, territorial integrity, sovereignty,” he said, as quoted by Reuters. - RT

We Don't Need Peace in Ukraine: EUROPEAN Leaders Openly Challenged TRUMP and PUTIN
On the eve of the special military operation's third anniversary, significant events took place, which many experts and analysts have already called fateful. And these fateful events can finally change the face of Ukraine and even Europe. For instance, on February 24, the leaders of the European Union, along with the presidents and prime ministers of certain Western countries, arrived in Kiev. In particular, on the morning of February 24, the presidents of Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia arrived in Kiev. - BORZZIKMAN

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.

Ukraine’s losses in the conflict with Russia should be counted “in the millions,” the former chief of the Polish General Staff, Rajmund Andrzejczak, has claimed. Kiev “is losing the war” and does not have the resources to sustain the fight against Moscow, he added.
In an interview with the Polsat broadcaster on Monday, the retired general described Ukraine’s battlefield situation as “very dramatic” and insisted that “there are no miracles in war.”
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s decision to replace his top general, Valery Zaluzhny, with Aleksandr Syrsky has failed to make a significant difference as the same issues remain for Kiev’s new commander-in-chief, Andrzejczak added.
According to the retired general, Ukraine is suffering deficits in equipment and manpower, with losses taking their toll on its capabilities. - RT

The first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the UN said, noting that for every round of escalation from the West, Russia will give a decisive and mirror response: “We consider ourselves to have the right to use our weapons against military targets of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our targets. We warned you about this, however, you made your choice.”
President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have delivered the same basic message over the course of the last six days, and the West appears to believe that they are bluffing. While I do not pretend to be a Russia expert based on years of scholarship, my limited but personal exposure to Russian officials — e.g., Ambassador Polianski escorted me when I testified before the UN Security Council in the spring and we had a pleasant conversation prior to the session — tells me these men do not make idle conversation nor do they make off-the-cuff remarks. They mean every damn word they speak.
Sometime between now (Wednesday night on the east coast of the USA) and Saturday, the 30th, Russia is going to strike one or more military targets with the Oreshnik missile, or something comparable, that will be more dramatic and damaging than its attack last Thursday in Dnipropetrovsk.
This will create a new decision point for the West. Continue the FAFO policy and continue attacking Russian territory or call a halt to the madness. - sonar21

United States and NATO have been pursuing a JENGA strategy against Russia. 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

“Forced obedience to obvious lies is the essence of totalitarianism. It’s the ultimate flex for psychopaths.” — Dr. Toby Rogers
You realize, don’t you, that everything going on around the Ukraine fiasco on the NATO side is completely insane? The folks running the US government — Barack Obama and his witches’ coven — started the whole thing over there in concert with a gang of corporate players (BlackRock, sundry oil-and-gas companies, Haliburton types, arms-makers, bunch of big banks), plus the dastardly WEF for “guidance” (ha!), looking to grab the mineral wealth of Ukraine and, ultimately, of Russia itself. Nice try. Didn’t work out. Tons of money pounded down a rat hole.
Now, the chatter is that we (NATO) “can’t afford to lose.” Yeah? But we’re losing. Russia will hold the eastern Ukraine provinces and what’s left in the rest of Ukraine will be a failed state drained of men under sixty able to work at anything, bankrupt, broken. It will take a century, if ever, for Ukraine to recover from all that and the West will have gained nothing. Anyway, that’s the true prospect. And so, the West’s “solution” to that humiliating quandary appears to be: start a bigger war, right up to and including nukes. That’s good thinking there, Butch, said Sundance. - LewRockwell

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

Kiev has once again demonstrated its “neo-Nazi essence” to the world, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Thursday following a deadly Ukrainian attack on the city of Belgorod, which is located about 25 miles (40 km) away from the border between the two countries.
The Ukrainian missile strike launched earlier on Thursday left at least seven people dead, including a one-year-old baby, and injured 18 more, including four children, according to the authorities. The attack also damaged 128 apartments, 15 residential homes, an industrial enterprise, four shops and over 30 cars, Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Kiev’s attack had “absolutely no military meaning,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed in a statement.
“It is obvious that Kiev Nazis, suffering failure after failure on the battlefield, barbarically take out their anger on peaceful Russian citizens,” the statement read. Ukraine’s latest “terrorist attack” has highlighted the “criminal role of the ‘collective West,’ led by the US,” who supply Kiev with deadly weapons which are being used against innocent civilians, the ministry added. - RT

The Recent Bombing in Iran and US Support of Terrorism in Iran...
- The US has used armed terrorist organizations for decades as proxies against their adversaries worldwide, including most recently in Syria, Iraq, and against Iran;
- US weapons and equipment “fell into the hands” of ISIS and other terrorist organizations, consisting of the largest, most effective militant groups participating in the US proxy war against Syria;
- US government and corporate-funded think tanks like the Brookings Institution in its 2009 “Which Path to Persia?” policy paper proposed using listed terrorist organizations like the MEK to undermine, coerce, and possibly even overthrow the Iranian government;
- The 2009 paper suggested MEK be “delisted” as a terrorist organization by the US State Department, which the Department eventually did in 2012 following intense lobbying and media campaigning by senior US and European representatives;
- The MEK is currently still supported by senior US-European representatives with undermining, coercing, and overthrowing the Iranian government remaining as a key Western geopolitical objective;
- Western media warns the recent terrorist attack in Iran could trigger a wider regional conflict, which the US has openly sought since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023;
- The 2009 Brookings paper feared Iran might not retaliate against US provocations, denying the US the wider regime-change war it sought;
- Between the US-backed brutalization of Gaza and now a terrorist attack on Iran itself, the US is making it as politically unlikely as possible for Tehran to avoid retaliation if and when a major US or Israel strike on Iran takes place; - The New Atlas

Russia has liberated three villages in Kursk Region, marking a new advance against the Ukrainian invasion force in the area, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Saturday.
The villages of Viktorovka, Nikolayevka and Staraya Sorochina are situated on the northernmost tip of the Ukrainian-controlled area in Russia’s Kursk Region. The settlements are located immediately to the west of the village of Malaya Loknya, a major stronghold for the Ukrainian force in the region, and across the eponymous river. The fall of the three villages puts the Ukrainian troops holed up in the area in a more precarious position.
Over the past few days, things have rapidly deteriorated for the Ukrainian force in the area. Russian troops continue pressuring the town of Sudzha, the largest settlement under Kiev’s control in Kursk Region. The invasion force has been experiencing logistics troubles and is now dependent on a single major cross-border road, which has been coming under constant Russian drone and artillery strikes.
This week, multiple media reports suggested that Kiev’s troops were on the brink of encirclement in the area, with between 6,500 and 10,000 soldiers at risk of being cut off completely. All bridges in the vicinity of Sudzha have reportedly been destroyed, while heavy damage to the road infrastructure is hampering the Ukrainian forces’ ability to resupply and, potentially, withdraw from the area. - RT

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!

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

Update on growing US-Chinese tensions, particularly over Taiwan’s status…
- Taiwan elections on January 13, 2024 see a pragmatic KMT vs. a US-backed DPP facing off and determining whether US efforts to move Taiwan into the middle of a US-China war will succeed;
- Taiwan is recognized by the UN, US, UK, EU and most other nations on Earth as part of China under “One China” policies, recognizing the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in Beijing as the sole legitimate government of all of China;
- Despite recognizing a One China policy, the West regularly encourages Taiwan separatism, arming the Taiwan administration, and undermining Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity in violation of international law;
- The Western media regularly and deliberately deceives the global public with their reporting, omitting the truth regarding Taiwan’s true status, instead depicting Taiwan as a “country” China is “bullying” with the West rushing to its “defense;”
- Taiwan’s DPP claims the people on Taiwan must decide the island province’s future with the rest of China, however much of Taiwan’s “democratic” system is directed and determined by Washington for Washington’s interests, at the expense of Taiwan; - The New Atlas

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

Budapest believes the ‘victory plan’ proposed by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky poses a major risk of escalation, and will not support it, senior Hungarian official Balazs Orban has said.
The plan is “the quickest path to World War III,” Balazs Orban, who serves as political director in the office of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban (no relation), told journalists on Thursday, on the sidelines of an EU meeting in Brussels.
If Zelensky’s requests are met, the situation will deteriorate, and NATO nations will be dragged into the conflict, an outcome that is “completely unacceptable for Hungary,” the official stressed. He urged other EU members to pursue a peace strategy and diplomatic engagement instead of continuing weapons supplies to Kiev. Prime Minister Orban has called the Ukrainian plan “more than terrifying.” - RT

Ukraine must show some “respect” to Hungary and Slovakia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said, arguing that Kiev was in no position to “dictate” anything to EU members.
“The way people in Kiev are trying to build relations with Central European states is unacceptable. We are ready to respect them, but we demand respect for ourselves. And if we raise a serious issue, then they must discuss it with us,” Orban stated.
“There should be no confusion in positions. [The Ukrainian leaders] cannot behave as if Bratislava and Budapest should dance to their tune. This is impossible,” the Hungarian leader added.
Ukraine has been devastated by its conflict with Russia, with its international standing gradually weakening, Orban argued. The Ukrainians “have lost a fifth of their country and their industry is in ruins,” and “yet they act as if they can dictate to us,” he said. - RT

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

Russia has urged the UN not to support Ukraine’s claims to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the largest such facility in Europe, accusing Kiev of launching strikes that frequently jeopardize the safety of the plant.
Speaking at a UN General Assembly meeting on Thursday, Russia’s deputy representative to the organization, Dmitry Polyansky, displayed a Ukrainian drone that allegedly hit the plant earlier this year. He said that attacks on the station by Kiev’s forces are “regular and numerous.”
“The IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi formulated [principles] for ensuring safety at the Zaporozhye NPP,” Polyansky said, referring to the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“One of these principles – the prohibition of attacks on the plant – is regularly violated by Ukraine, as the agency experts at the [site] have the opportunity to verify. There is enough evidence of this – I have in my hands the wreckage of a Ukrainian UAV that attacked the Zaporozhye NPP on April 7,” the Russian diplomat stated. - RT

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.

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

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

[BRAVO, Hungary!]
Hungary has no intention of extraditing Ukrainian citizens, as Kiev intensifies efforts to mobilize more troops for the army, Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen has said.
In recent weeks, the Ukrainian government has attempted to pressure its citizens who left the country, particularly those living in the EU, to return home, including by asking the bloc’s authorities to support this effort. Many EU members, however, have been reluctant to cooperate.
Semjen told Hungarian broadcaster ATV on Monday that Budapest “would not extradite refugees to Ukraine.” “We do not investigate whether, according to the Ukrainians, the person is conscripted or not. Based on basic humanity, we will not allow them to be sent to their deaths.”
“Every refugee from Ukraine is completely safe with us and receives all the help,” he added. - RT

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!

Trump Imposed a Death Sentence Against UKRAINE after ZELENSKY Was Shamefully Kicked Out of The U.S.
As you may remember, two days ago, in one of my videos, I said that on Friday, a political clown and drug addict with experience, Volodymyr Zelensky, would visit the United States to meet with the current owner of the White House. It was assumed that this dead man walking and Donald Trump, would sign an agreement on rare earth minerals at this meeting. Back then, as you remember, I advised you to get comfortable and stock up on popcorn, as this meeting promised to turn into a real explosive show. And as time has shown, I was right again. - BORZZIKMAN

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

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - A group of Ukrainian troops were falling apart at their rotation site after being hit by an unexpected Russian quadcopter attack. The Russian Defense Ministry released footage on October 10, 2024, showing several Ukrainian armored vehicles with personnel trying to rotate units to their combat positions at night in a location in the Kharkov region. Meanwhile, drone operators from the Zapad Group of Forces reconnaissance unit of the Northern Group of Forces, waiting for the right moment to reach their position, and the quadcopter suddenly dropped two explosives, which indirectly closed the moving equipment, which was going to deliver the enemy group to the landing site. However, everything was quickly thwarted during the demolition!
Some of the survivors tried to hide in the nearby forest belt. However, another mini-bomb from the quadcopter hit them after hitting the combat vehicle. The video documentation shows that none of the Ukrainian personnel moved, after the quadcopter systematically repeated its actions, destroying those who fled. Continuously, drone operators from the Zapad Group of Forces successfully use various UAV to defeat the enemy including delivering cargo on the front lines of Kharkov. In the shortest possible time, their drones are capable of destroying small units, launching attacks on defensive fortifications, or destroying enemy Ukrainian combat vehicles.

Russian nationals should avoid making non-essential trips to the US and allied countries, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said, warning that they could be “hunted down” by the American authorities for political reasons.
Travelling to the US poses “serious risks” due to “the increasing confrontation in the Russian-American relations,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a regular press briefing on Wednesday.
She stated that more Russian nationals were being “hunted down by American authorities, especially by secret services,” with Washington utilizing “fraudulent schemes” to lure Russians abroad in order to prosecute them for “political reasons.”
“For the upcoming holidays and beyond, we strongly advise to avoid non-emergency visits to the US and allied countries, especially Canada and, with rare exception, the countries of the European Union,” Zakharova said.
“When staying abroad, you should avoid situations, in which you can become a victim of provocations and be detained under the pretense of supposedly violating local laws,” the spokeswoman added.
Zakharova urged Russian citizens to consider potential “tragic incidents” on foreign soil when planning trips abroad, claiming that the US justice system “leaves no room for a fair trial.” - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Urgent analysis on November 6, 2024, Russian Armed Forces are advancing and advancing on the Kurakhovo direction, moving very quickly towards the town from the south near Trudove, with additional reports that Stepanivka has been liberated up to 2 km along the northern shore of Kurakhovo Reservoir. Russian soldiers installed the battle flag of their unit on a residential building, confirming full control over the settlement. 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.

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!

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

'Christ is still in the rubble' this Christmas, Palestinian Christian Pastor, Munther Isaac, said during a service in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. Highlighting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, he reminded the worshippers of the hope Gaza has uncovered. 'But it has also been 440 days of resilience and even beauty. I think of our heroes of Gaza: the doctors, the medics, the rescuers, the volunteers - those who sacrifice and give everything for their fellow human beings. I think of those who created schools in tents. The ones who play music to the displaced children, to bring a smile in the midst of pain and destruction. The chefs who are cooking meals en masse. And the smallest of children, tending to their siblings. The loss is enormous. But we have not lost our faith, or our collective humanity. This is the beauty I am talking about.' - Intel Republic

Liberalism in the West has devolved into an aggressive and intolerant ideology in which freedom, democracy, and human rights take a back seat to power, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
His remarks were part of a keynote address at the 21st annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday.
“Today's Western liberalism, in my opinion, has degenerated into extreme intolerance and aggression towards any alternative, towards any sovereign and independent thought, and now justifies neo-Nazism, terrorism, racism and even mass genocide of the civilian population,” Putin said. - RT

Nations that support the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the US will no longer be states based on the rule of law if the handover eventually happens, Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin argued in a Telegram post on Monday.
The situation around the detained whistleblower is an example of the lies, double standards, and spite on display from Washington, London, and Brussels, Volodin added.
Assange, now in his fifth year in the high-security Belmarsh prison in London despite having been convicted of no crime, faces 175 years in prison in the US for publishing documents via WikiLeaks that detailed alleged illegal US actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, and elsewhere.
The published records and documents prove Washington’s involvement in coups and the instigation of wars, Volodin pointed out in his post.
Assange “exposed Washington’s crimes. And the ‘world hegemon’ does not tolerate this kind of thing, destroying all those who disagree,” Volodin argued. The whistleblower would have been designated a ‘fighter for truth and freedom’ had his revelations concerned Russia or China rather than the US, according to the MP.
The fact that a person remains in a high-security prison without proven guilt “is nothing short of a scandal,” the lawmaker added. - RT

No One SURVIVED! Russian Ballistic Missiles Rained Down On The BASE of Polish Mercenaries In KHERSON
Meanwhile, on the night of January 31, Russia launched another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine. This time, the Kherson, Nikolayev, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions were subjected to missile attacks. The air alert sounded throughout the night in cities such as Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Volchansk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson. Today, as yesterday, Russia used dozens of Iskander ballistic missiles, Geranium kamikaze drones, as well as cruise missiles of various types ranging from the KH-101 to the KH-32. - BORZZIKMAN

The deployment of the hypersonic-ballistic Oreshnik missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, was no mere “combat test.” It was a calculated signal, a demonstration of Moscow’s resolve to defend its red lines with decisive force. The West’s strategy, built on the illusion of Russian hesitance, is a catastrophic miscalculation. Moscow has no illusions about what’s at stake, and its actions reflect a sobering acknowledgment of the existential threat posed by NATO’s provocations.
Unlike the Cold War, this is no longer a game of chess where careful strategy and mutual respect for red lines dictate moves. This is poker, played with nuclear chips, where bluffing and brinkmanship replace logic and restraint. The U.S. and NATO, emboldened by their own propaganda, are gambling that Russia won’t escalate. But Russia, rooted in a historical memory of existential defense, isn’t playing the West’s game, it’s prepared for survival.
History will not be kind to those who gamble with humanity’s future for the sake of their own political vanity. It’s time for the West to step back, not as an act of weakness, but as an acknowledgment of reality.

Arab nations reject Trump’s idea to relocate Gaza population
A group of Arab nations has spoken out against the suggestion by US President Donald Trump that Palestinians from Gaza should be relocated to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.
Following a meeting of top diplomats in Cairo on Saturday, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League issued a joint statement, saying they “firmly rejected... the displacement of Palestinians through direct expulsion or coerced migration.”
These actions would “threaten the region’s stability, risk expanding the conflict, and undermine prospects for peace and coexistence among its peoples,” the statement read.
Around 47,500 Palestinians have been killed and over 111,500 wounded during the 15 months of Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to the latest data from the enclave’s Health Ministry. UN data suggests that 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced by the fighting. - RT

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

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

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

That's Why The Russian 'TURTLE TANK' Is So Dangerous And Effective On The BATTLEFIELD
In the zone of a special military operation, there is a successful advance of Russian troops on several sections of the line of combat contact at once. So, a few hours ago, in the Zaporizhia direction of the front, war correspondents confirmed that Russian troops had taken control of the central and Northwestern part of the village of Rabotino. Meanwhile, commenting on this situation, the Ukrainian telegram channel showed an interview with one foreign mercenary, who bluntly stated that these new Russian 'Turtle Tanks', despite their ugly appearance, are very dangerous and effective on the battlefield. According to him, this 'Turtle Tank' is almost impossible to destroy, and its appearance on the battlefield already strikes fear into the hearts of Ukrainian soldiers. - BORZZIKMAN

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!

Russian KINZHAL Hypersonic Missiles Rained Down on UK Military Installations In ODESSA and NIKOLAYEV
On the night of February 10, Russia launched another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine. This time, such Ukrainian regions as Nikolayev, Odessa, Kharkiv, and Sumy, as well as the western part of the DPR, under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were subjected to missile attacks. The air alert sounded for 24 hours in cities like Kharkiv, Odessa, Izmail, Ochakovo, Sumy, and Kilia. This time, attacks on the military infrastructure were carried out with the help of dozens of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. At least the takeoffs of 12 Mig-31K interceptor fighters were recorded at airfields based in Belarus and the Krasnodar Region. - BORZZIKMAN

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

[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

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

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.

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!

Ending ammunition shortages does you no good if you can't correct the manpower shortages to use them!
Ukraine’s military lost more than 35,000 troops and thousands of pieces of weaponry this month, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said on Friday.
Speaking at the defense ministers’ meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Kazakhstan, Belousov stated that the Russian military continues to “systematically reduce the combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
The minister claimed that apart from losing a significant number of troops, this month, Kiev has also lost more than 2,700 pieces of heavy weaponry, including 290 tanks and armored combat vehicles. These include four US-made Abrams tanks, seven Leopards, and 12 Bradleys. Additionally, Ukraine lost 11 airplanes, four helicopters, and around 730 field artillery guns and multiple launch rocket systems, he said.
Belousov noted that after suffering such casualties and faced with an inability to seize the initiative on the battlefield, particularly in Kharkov Region, where Ukrainian forces have gradually been getting pushed back, Kiev has resorted to attacking civilian infrastructure in order to demonstrate to its Western sponsors its ability to cause damage to Russia. - RT

The Akhmat special forces unit from the Chechen Republic will absorb 3,000 ex-Wagner PMC fighters, the regional head, Ramzan Kadyrov, has announced.
A renowned Wagner commander with the call sign Ratibor will also join the elite Chechen unit.
The Chechen leader hailed the fighters as experienced and “very effective warriors,” who have proven their mettle in Ukraine. He described the incorporation of such troops into Akhmat as a “strategically important step toward beefing up the country’s defense capabilities.”
“We are united by a single purpose – to defend the motherland and its interests. I am convinced that this decision will very soon have a considerable impact on the way the special military operation progresses,” Kadyrov concluded.
In February, the commander of Akhmat, Apty Alaudinov, told the Russian media that there were three separate units composed of former Wagner PMC fighters in his detachment.
Akhmat is a part of the Russian National Guard, which is an internal military force that reports directly to the president and the head of the National Security Council.

The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has announced plans to significantly increase the number of military chaplains, to provide more spiritual support to soldiers in the Ukraine conflict zone. Currently, approximately 300 clerics serve in this capacity, but the ROC aims to raise the number to 1,500.
Emphasized the need for more chaplains to strengthen the moral resilience of military personnel and prevent dehumanization during combat.
”The work of military priests is the main condition for victory in this war,” archpriest Dmitry Vasilenkov, Deputy Chairman of the Synodal Department for Cooperation with the army, stated at the conference, as cited by Kommersant. He added that a praying soldier understands the purpose of the war, and even amid extreme brutality, does not allow himself “to become a beast.”
In November 2022, Russia accused Ukrainian forces of executing a group of Russian prisoners, calling it a war crime. A video from the front line in eastern Ukraine, which UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk confirmed as genuine, showed several Russian soldiers surrendering before being killed. Russia’s Defense Ministry described the event as a “deliberate and methodical murder” of over ten immobilized Russian servicemen. The ministry also stated that this was “not the first and not the only war crime” committed by Ukrainian forces. - RT

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.
Zelensky was elected president on a platform of peace, but allied himself with “neo-Nazis and nationalists” after taking office, Putin said. - RT

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

Russia Shows No MERCY! Russia Dealt a Crushing Blow To NATO's and Ukrainian Army's Combat Potential!
On September 3, 2024, Russia launched another powerful massive missile strike on the territory of Ukraine. This time, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, Zaporizhia, and Nikolayev regions were subjected to a massive missile attack. So, in the Kharkiv region, in the city of 'Chuguev', Russian ballistic missiles hit and destroyed two facilities in the northwestern part of the city. As it turned out, the Ukrainian High Military Command used these facilities to deploy personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries. It is reported that as a result of this missile strike, about 50 soldiers of the Ukrainian army and 20 mercenaries from Latin American countries were destroyed. They were mostly Colombian citizens. - BORZZIKMAN

[The UK, Warmongers Extraordinaire!]
The possible appearance of NATO-linked military infrastructure in Ukraine is a concern for Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, commenting on a new security deal between London and Kiev.
The 100-year bilateral agreement, signed by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, states that the two nations will “explore options for deploying and maintaining defense infrastructure in Ukraine, including military bases, logistics depots, reserve military equipment storage facilities and war reserve stockpiles.”
He also relayed the Russian government’s negative attitude toward British statements that its defense cooperation with Ukraine would include enhanced “collaboration on maritime security” near Russian borders, including in the Azov Sea. Peskov emphasized that the Azov Sea is a Russian inner body of water, so that “interactions between Ukraine and Britain can hardly happen there.”
Moscow views NATO as a hostile entity and has accused its members of waging a proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainian soldiers as ‘cannon fodder’. - RT

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!

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.

EVERYONE KNOWS THIS WAR WILL LEAD TO DESTRUCTION OF UKRAINE - Ohio Senator Vance in a Carlson interview, reveals Democrats told him personally that they will fight Russia till the last Ukrainian drop of blood, as he pushes to stop genocide Joe from sending another $60 billion to war criminal Zelensky. Vance puts Russia's might into perspective in bottom video fiery speech: We used to hear argument that we had to throw Putin back to 1991 border, we don't hear that preposterous argument anymore, Ukraine is a country now has about 28 million people, after many 100s of 1,000s have died and millions permanently fled the country, Russia, by comparison, has 160 million people and has the industrial capacity to produce many times more artillery shells and other critical weapons per day. So, against this leviathan in Eastern Europe for some reason they tell us that the Ukrainians can win. - Intel Republic

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

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.

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky could resort to using a “dirty bomb” and blaming Russia in a desperate attempt to prolong the conflict with Moscow and disrupt peace efforts, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has claimed.
In a post on the VK social media network on Wednesday, Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, lashed out at Zelensky, calling him a “puppet dressed up as the president of a disintegrating country.”
“The rat has been driven into a corner. Its behavior is now totally unpredictable,” Medvedev said, arguing that this makes Zelensky extremely dangerous to the global community.
“Immediate rat extermination will solve the problem,” Medvedev said, arguing that the metaphorical pest control should be done by Kiev’s Western backers, including the US. - RT

Stoltenberg Turned PALE: Russia Destroyed NATO Military Train With Military Cargo In DNIPROPETROVSK
Last night, in the regions of Ukraine the situation was uneasy again. As it turned out, on the night of April 20, Russian combat aviation, along with missile forces, launched another massive missile strike on the territory of Ukraine. This Russian missile strike was once again not only massive but also combined. As it turned out, during this attack, Russia used dozens of missiles of various types, including Geranium kamikaze drones. Each Russian missile attack was accompanied by the strikes of kamikaze drones. Throughout the night, the air alert sounded in such regions of Ukraine as Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Kirovograd, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Nykolayev, Odessa, Zaporizhia, and Sumy. - BORZZIKMAN

The Belgorod region, along with the town of Shebekino, which borders Ukraine, has been frequently targeted by drone, mortar, and rocket attacks since the start of the conflict in early 2022. The following year, the town was partially evacuated due to intense shelling.
In January, the Russian Foreign Ministry released a report stating that at least 5,399 civilians suffered from “Ukrainian aggression” on Russian territory last year, with 809 killed, including 51 children – the youngest being a four-month-old girl.
On average, at least 15 civilians from border regions — including Belgorod, Kursk, Kherson, Bryansk, and Donetsk — were reported as victims of Ukrainian military activity daily. - RT

- US use of terrorism to advance foreign policy objectives is based on decades of evidence and includes support for militants in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, Chechen separatists inside Russia in the 1990s and 2000s, and Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria from against Syrian, Iranian, and Russian forces;
- More recently, US foreign policymakers have laid out plans to use listed terrorist organizations as proxies to carry out attacks in targeted nations like Iran and Pakistan;
- Ukraine has already carried out an extensive terror campaign aimed at Russian civilians deep within Russian territory including in Belgorod, St. Petersburg, and Moscow;
- US media admits collaboration between US intelligence and Ukrainian intelligence from 2014 onward while also admitting Ukraine has carried out a number of attacks on civilians inside Russia including Darya Dugina and Vladen Tatarsky;
- US media also admits that despite the US claiming to have warned Russia of an impending terrorist attack, information was withheld due to the “adversarial relationship” between the US and Russia;
- Leading up to the deadly Moscow attack, US foreign policymakers had repeatedly stated the need to make ordinary Russians “feel the pinch” of the conflict; - The New Atlas

- The US is transforming the Philippines into a belligerent proxy against China which happens to be the nation’s largest and most important trade partner;
- The US is using the pretext of China’s supposed threat to maritime trade in the South China Sea, despite the majority of traffic through its waters coming from and going to China and its trade partners, including the Philippines;
- The US had previously colonized the Philippines, brutalizing its population and upon granting it “independence,” continued to impose itself on the government, including through one-sided treaties and perpetual military occupation;
- While the Philippines does have maritime disputes with China, it also has multiple disputes with other nations claiming territory in the South China Sea, the US has selectively inserted itself into disputes with China to escalate them into dangerous conflicts;
- The US is using escalation to justify a military build-up in the region, including within the territory of the Philippines;
- By alienating China, the current government of the Philippines is foregoing trade and infrastructure development and redirecting public funds into military spending at the expense of the nation’s own best interests; - The New Atlas

The Zionists running Israel today remind me of a serial mugger who gets shot after attacking a victim who was armed and demands the victim be prosecuted. The Zionists always justify their bombings of Palestinians by claiming they are merely trying to prevent terrorism. Yet, as the chart above shows, it is the Israelis who are doing the killing. Not the other way around. This only covers a 14-year period (2000 – 2014).
You’ll notice right away that the overwhelming majority of the deaths are Palestinian, and have been for the almost 14 years since B’Tselem began tracking. Overall, the group has recorded 8,166 conflict-related deaths, of which 7,065 are Palestinian and 1,101 Israeli. That means 87 percent of deaths have been Palestinian and only 13 percent Israeli. Put another way, for every 15 people killed in the conflict, 13 are Palestinian and two are Israeli. (Statistics for the past two months are from United Nations Office for the Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs.)
Those numbers have changed — for the worse, as far as Palestinians are concerned. Since October 7, 2023, the ratio of dead Palestinians compared to dead Israelis has soared to astronomical levels. - Sonar21

A Russian man is facing treason charges for allegedly selling sensitive information about the nation’s military to Ukrainian intelligence, according to the Federal Security Service (FSB).
The suspect, whose name remains undisclosed, contacted the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) last year, offering cooperation as a surveillance operative, the FSB stated on Tuesday.
Since then, he has reportedly provided the SBU with intelligence concerning several locations near Voronezh, including a military base and ammunition depots on the outskirts of the central Russian city. In a video shared by the Russian agency, he also admitted to monitoring military aircraft take-offs and landings for Ukrainian agents.
Currently in custody, the accused faces severe penalties, potentially life imprisonment, if convicted, the FSB said.
The SBU plays a crucial role in the Ukraine conflict, including conducting sabotage operations and targeted assassinations on Russian territory. - RT

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

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

Washington will stop at nothing, including the use of neo-Nazis, to damage Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, following a US decision to lift a ban on supplying weapons to Ukraine’s Azov Brigade.
The unit has notoriously welcomed into its ranks people who espouse ultranationalist and neo-Nazi ideologies, and has been described by the Western press as a magnet for such individuals from across the world.
On Monday, the US Department of State cleared the brigade to receive American military assistance, stating that it found no evidence of human rights violations by the group.
Many Azov fighters surrendered to Russian troops during the siege of the city of Mariupol in 2022. Moscow has accused the members of the unit of war crimes, including torture and the execution of civilians.
“This sudden change of stance by Washington proves that [US officials] would stoop to anything in their attempts to suppress Russia, using the Ukrainian people as a tool. They are even fine with flirting with neo-Nazis,” Peskov told journalists during a media briefing. - RT

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

“They can’t exist without their Western sponsors. They won’t last a month if the money and ammunition run out,” Putin told Zarubin.
“Everything can be over in a month and a half to two months. Ukraine practically has no sovereignty, in that sense,” the Russian president added.
According to Putin, if Kiev’s western backers truly want peace, “this is very easy to do,” adding that Moscow has already spelled out its terms very clearly.

Nevertheless, the community has been “targeted by different ways of discrimination and misunderstanding of our Christian symbols, especially in this holy realm on Christmas Eve,” she said.
Asked about reports of Western European assistance to Syria’s Christian community, de la Croix replied, “we don’t rely on protection from the West, I regret to say it.”
She noted that Western Europe has never genuinely assisted Christians in Syria. On the contrary, she said, there was always a feeling it was “even forbidden for us to talk about the prosecution of Christians.” She said Western politicians “were not very happy” when she talked about the issue.
HTS jihadists launched a surprise offensive in the northern Syrian provinces of Idlib and Aleppo late last month. After the city of Aleppo fell within days, the group advanced south on Damascus, capturing the towns of Suqaylabiyah, Hama, and Homs along the way before they were joined by US-armed Free Syrian Army (FSA) militants for a final push on the capital. Former Syrian President Bashar Assad left for Russia, where he has been granted asylum.
Under Assad, Christians and other religious minorities were allowed to openly practice their faith. - RT

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.

Russia’s decision to conduct tactical nuclear weapons drills is a forced response to the “shameless and aggressive” policies of the Collective West, which creates security threats for Russia and its citizens, Moscow’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, stated on Tuesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered a snap exercise in the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the Southern Military District, which borders Ukraine. The drill is intended as a warning to the US and its allies not to escalate the Ukraine conflict any further, both the Foreign and Defense Ministries in Moscow said in public statements.
According to Antonov, the US and its allies are constantly beefing up supplies of increasingly deadly weapons to Ukraine designed to “kill Russian people” and attack the territory of the country.
“Step by step they are abandoning their previously declared ‘self-restraints’ in the hybrid war unleashed against us,” he said. “Roughly speaking, they are trying to ‘simmer’ our country.”
Asked to comment on a statement made by White House national security spokesman John Kirby on Monday, who accused Russia of “reckless and irresponsible” nuclear “saber-rattling,” Antonov responded that Russia is not threatening anyone. - RT

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

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - It is a huge explosion, which burned the command post of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Glukhov city in the Sumy region to ashes as shown in footage published by the Russian Defense Ministry on August 20, 2024. Russian reconnaissance units reported the presence of the elite Ukrainian command post "Magura", the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, formed according to NATO standards near the Russian border. It is reported that several attacks on Kursk were coordinated from here. On the night of that day, the multifunctional supersonic fighter-bomber Su-34 of the Russian Air Force launched its attack using modern aerial bombs with universal glide and correction modules, which have never failed to perform their tasks.
The consequences were very significant, the military facility was completely eliminated by the explosion accompanied by a huge fire with a lot of smoke rising. The ammunition and weapons depot in the command post area was completely destroyed in a sudden strike, giving no chance for officers, commanders and soldiers to evacuate the site. The secondary explosion appeared to be more powerful than the primary one, indicating that the place was also used as a storage facility for a large amount of ammunition, and now has been depleted. After aerial reconnaissance confirmed that the target was completely burned, the aircraft returned safely to the departure airfield.

Russian Missiles Destroyed Canadian, French, & German Mercenaries From The NORMAN BRIGADE In KHERSON
Despite active hostilities along the entire line of combat contact, Russia continues to launch massive missile strikes against military installations throughout Ukraine, including its western part. So it became known that on the night of March 15, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched another series of massive missile strikes on the territory of Kyiv, Sumy, Vinnytsia, and Kherson regions. Throughout the night, dozens of explosions were recorded in the cities and villages of these regions, accompanied by the sound of an air alert. According to preliminary data, during this attack, Russia used about 50 high-precision air-to-surface missiles KH-59MK2 and KH-31P. - BORZZIKMAN

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!

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!

Ukraine has lost more than 60,000 service members and hundreds of pieces of military hardware since launching its incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region in August 2024, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has reported.
Explaining the goal of the Ukrainian operation, officials in Kiev have repeatedly said they had hoped to force Moscow to divert resources away from other parts of the front line. However, Russia’s advances in Donbass have continued unabated in recent months.
In a statement on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that over the past 24 hours Moscow’s forces had killed more than 270 Ukrainian troops, destroyed two tanks, over a dozen lighter armored vehicles, five artillery guns, and one electronic warfare system in Kursk Region.
According to Russian estimates, since early August 2024, when the Ukrainian military crossed the border into Kursk Region, it has lost more than 60,000 service members, 363 tanks, 263 infantry fighting vehicles, 213 armored personnel carriers, 435 artillery guns, 48 multiple launch rocket systems, including 13 US-made HIMARS and six MLRS, 20 air-defense systems, 108 electronic warfare systems, as well as hundreds of cars and dozens of pieces of other military equipment. - RT

KIEV USING CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS, RUSSIA REFUSES TO STRIKE AT FIRING POSITIONS - elderly citizen of Toretsk, Donetsk (ex-Ukraine) explains why region's people overwhelmingly picked Moscow as guardian.
There was mortar 30 meters from my house. They put it on purpose, they will never go to a wasteland where there are no people. There are 2, 3 civilian houses, they must be wedged in somewhere, it's a human shield and Russians didn't shoot.
It's like I'm being pushed out of my house. It's creepy, scary. As soon as I left, seven [mortar shells] flew in. We had tanks in front of house, they told owner "FU you, now you'll get it", the man turned around and left. There was a strike in another house, roof was blown off - he describes horror Zelensky's regime inflicts of civilians. - Intel Republic

The US has been seeking to dismantle legally-binding international security mechanisms and replace them with vague norms of the so-called ‘rules-based world order’, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday.
The remarks were in response to statements from the outgoing US assistant secretary of defense for space policy, John Plumb, at a Defense Writers Group meeting on Friday. According to Zakharova, Plumb dismissed Russian-Chinese initiatives on the prevention of an arms race in space as a “political ploy,” claiming that adherence to the deal would not be verifiable.
“The US is an ardent opponent of Russian initiatives to prevent an arms race in outer space. Strong opposition to the aforementioned Russian-Chinese draft treaty has long been an integral part of American foreign policy,” Zakharova said in a Telegram post, referring to a 2008 draft agreement.
Instead, the US has been pursuing its own approach to keeping space free of weapons by promoting a “set of norms of ‘responsible’ behavior within the framework of their concept of a ‘rules-based world order,’” which is untenable both in technical and international legal terms, the spokeswoman said.
Plumb’s remarks, as well as Washington’s ongoing activities in the UN Security Council with regard to nuclear weapons in space, are part of its longstanding efforts to dismantle the system of legally-binding security treaties, she claimed. - RT

The United States’ ‘America First’ policy has disturbing similarities to the slogan ‘Germany above all’ used by the Nazis to assert national superiority over others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.
In an op-ed for the magazine ‘Russia in Global Affairs’ published on Tuesday, Lavrov argued that Washington’s approach undermines the UN Charter and the post-war global order built on sovereign equality. He noted that this principle was enshrined in the Yalta-Potsdam agreements signed in 1945 by the USSR, US, and UK, shaping the modern international system.
Multipolarity is gaining momentum, Lavrov went on to say, suggesting that instead of opposing it, the US could in the foreseeable future become a “responsible” center of power along with Russia, China, and other countries in the Global South, East, North, and West.
The foreign minister stressed that the UN Charter provides the best framework for managing global affairs in the multipolar era, “when everyone must observe − not only in word, but in deeds − the principles of the sovereign equality of states, non-interference in their internal affairs, and other fundamental principles.”
He warned against “brazen attempts to reorder the world in one’s own interest,” which violate the principles of the UN and can bring instability, confrontation, and even catastrophe. - RT

The past week in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seen hostilities continue along the front line, with the most active combat taking place in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Kursk Region.
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported seizing control of the DPR village of Grigorovka, located to the north of the town of Chasov Yar. The latter, which is split into two uneven parts by a canal, has seen intense combat over the past few months, with Russian forces seizing control over its eastern part.
On the same day, Russia announced the liberation of Vodyanoye, a small mining town in the DPR located just northeast of the Ukrainian-controlled town of Ugledar. Located on a hill in the open and consisting almost exclusively of high-rise concrete buildings, it had been turned by the Ukrainian military into a major fortress. The capture of Vodyanoye marks an important milestone in the battle for Ugledar, which has been going on for months already, as it further complicates logistics for the Ukrainian troops in the area.
Moscow has launched a counteroffensive against the Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Region, regaining control of some ten settlements in the west and northwest of the area seized by Kiev since the beginning of the incursion in early August. - RT

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

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

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

The Russian military has thwarted a Ukrainian effort to continue their offensive in Kursk Region, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Friday.
Combat in the area intensified on Thursday, when the Ukrainian military mounted a major attack to the northeast of the town of Sudzha, the largest settlement controlled by Kiev in the area. The attack involved dozens of armored vehicles and hundreds of troops.
A new video released by the Russian Defense Ministry on Friday shows one of the Ukrainian convoys, which appeared to largely consist of Western-supplied armored cars, come under artillery fire. The convoy deployed a smokescreen and attempted to hide in a wooded area, yet multiple vehicles were struck, the footage shows.
Ukrainian troops advanced in the open in large convoys, led by minesweeping and breacher vehicles. They were promptly detected and subjected to artillery and air strikes, and were also targeted by a multitude of assorted drones.
According to the latest estimates by the Russian military, the Ukraine lost over 200 servicemen during the unsuccessful attack on Ulanok and Cherkasskya Konopelka. At least eight tanks, five infantry fighting vehicles and over 30 other pieces of armor were destroyed. The attacking forces also lost three engineering breacher vehicles, a bridgelayer and other support equipment. - RT

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.

PUTIN RESPECTFULLY ANSWERS BRITISH JOURNALIST, CLEARLY ATTEMPTING TO PROVOKE HIM, claiming Russian leader will "appear weak when it's times to meet Trump", because, according to NBC's Keir Simmons (speaking in 1st video), "Special Operation failed, General Assassinated and ally Assad overthrown".
Putin, 1st welcomes Simmons, reminding him that he's welcome in Moscow, despite persecution of Russian journalist in U.S. where he works, or in Ukraine where he's put on KILL LIST for reporting truth.
You say we're in a in a weakened position. I believe Russia is much stronger today. Despite ALL NATO FIGHTING AGAINST US. Combat readiness of our armed forces is now the highest in the world. We're truly a sovereign country - 2nd video
You and those who pay your salaries love to present everything happening in Syria as Russia's defeat. This is not the case, we've come to Syria 10 years ago to make sure no ISIS caliphate is established, so we largely achieved our mission - 3rd.
Putin THANKS Simmons for mentioning assassination of General Kirillov and accidentally admitting Ukraine’s killing was an act of terrorism since it posed danger to other people, including children preparing to go to schools (4th video). - Intel Republic

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.

Medvedev, who serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, has argued that the outcome won’t change the bipartisan anti-Russian consensus in the US, particularly on Capitol Hill. However, he said Trump had “one quality that’s useful for us.”
“As a dyed-in-the-wool businessman, he hates wasting money on all sorts of freeloaders and tagalongs: on wacko allies, misguided grandiose charity projects, and insatiable international organizations,” Medvedev wrote in a Telegram post on Wednesday morning.
This applies to Kiev, he said, referring to the overwhelming dependence of the Ukrainian government on Western military and financial aid.
”The only question is, how much will Trump be forced to fork out on the war? He’s stubborn, but the system is more powerful,” Medvedev continued. - RT

I am eager to see how the United States will do the volte face and pronounce a certified international terrorist organization — Hay’at Tahrir Al Sham (HTS) — a legitimate government. HTS is a descendant of Al Qaeda and ISIS, two terrorist organizations that Republican and Democrat administrations vowed to defeat in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). This stands as a tawdry example of the US playing fast and loose with terrorism — i.e., when it suits our purposes we ignore terrorism and ally ourselves with them. Hypocrisy like this does little to burnish the reputation of the US. We are enablers of terrorism.
Western jubilation over the fall of Assad will fade. Continued sectarian violence in Syria will not abate, but it will not create a threat for Russia or Iran. The same cannot be said for the nations that share a border with Syria — i.e., Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel. ISIS / HTS are far more radical than the Taliban and will continue with their mission to create a caliphate, not just in Syria. While the Western media, following the messaging of the CIA / MI6, is frantically trying to paint HTS as a group of moderates who are tolerant of all ethnic groups and religious communities, the reality is otherwise. Syria will become more of a festering boil on the body of global politics and may be the catalyst for a broader war in the region. - sonar21

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!

In an address to the nation on Wednesday, the French leader called Russia a “threat to France and Europe,” and announced that he is considering expanding France’s nuclear umbrella to cover other EU member states. In response, Moscow accused Macron of having aggressive intentions against Russia.
Macron wants to “defeat Russia” and calls it a threat for this very reason, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday. Moscow considers Macron’s statement about widening France’s nuclear umbrella to be a “threat,” he added.
Regarding China’s position on nuclear disarmament, Peskov said it remains to be seen, as Moscow and Beijing have not yet discussed it.
Trump is “getting too far ahead of himself” with the idea of total nuclear disarmament, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, told Russia 24 TV on Thursday. The destruction of all nuclear arsenals is “off the table at the moment,” he said, adding that “certain reductions, some control measures would be… understandable.”
In January, the US announced the deployment of upgraded nuclear bombs in its bases in Europe. According to media reports, the Pentagon also plans to station nuclear weapons in the UK. Moscow has repeatedly urged all nations to act responsibly when it comes to nuclear weapons as there can be no winners in a nuclear war. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Objective control shows a truly fearless soldier, raising the Russian flag in the midst of the most intense battles in Novoyelizavetovka, marking the liberation of the settlement located southwest of Pokrovsk city or Russian name is “Krasnoarmeysk”. This was confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry at 19:58 on January 29, 2025, where units of the Tsentr Group of Forces using attack drones and artillery destroyed the remaining units of Ukrainian garrison, completing the cleanup and securing a foothold in the settlement. During the offensive operation, the assault units used unmanned aerial vehicles and destroyed Ukrainian firing points, command posts and observation posts. While the artillery crew destroyed enemy positions detected during the assault.
The Defense Ministry also said that the Tsentr Group of Forces successfully fought Ukrainian neo-Nazis, cleared houses and buildings, systematically expelling the enemy from Novoyelizavetovka, in Donetsk People's Republic. At the same time, a soldier with extraordinary courage took the initiative to raise the victory flag amid the chaos of the ongoing battle. A soldier rush to a tall building and immediately place the Russian flag on it, marking the crushing defeat for Ukraine. Victory will be ours, the enemy will be destroyed!" the soldiers say in the video.

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.

The US and the EU have been obsessive in insisting on Ukraine’s innocence in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, to the point that such behavior is suspicious, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview published on Friday.
“The West is actively trying to convince everyone that this is the work of ISIS and there is no longer any need to suspect anyone, especially Ukraine,” Lavrov told Izvestia. “They keep insisting that Kiev is not to blame, to the point where it’s becoming obsessive.”
Lavrov pointed out that four suspected gunmen were attempting to flee to Ukraine when they were caught by Russian security forces.
the West is “suspiciously active” in trying to persuade everyone that Ukraine had nothing to do with the attack, Lavrov said.
“Not just publicly, but they also say in contacts through our diplomatic missions: ‘There is no need to suspect Ukraine,’ but they never explain why,” he added. “From the standpoint of sound logic, answering the question ‘who benefits,’ we can’t exclude Ukraine.” - RT

This propaganda being reported about an attack by Iran, one that could easily be justified, as both the U.S. and Israel have been committing acts of war against Iran for many years; decades, in fact, came from “three (unnamed) U.S. and Israeli officials,” as supposedly told to one Axios reporter. Sounds to me like a preplanned, telegraphed threat made up in order to use a false flag attack blamed on Iran to start a war that would spread far and wide. Why would anyone other than braindead dolts believe one single word coming from any mainstream media in the U.S. or Israel; both lying nation states bound and determined to start another major war?
When, if ever, will Americans understand that they are nothing but cannon fodder for the U.S. and Israeli governments, and stop this government from participating in the genocide of others, including the murder of tens or hundreds of thousands of children and innocents around the world.
It is not just those across the waters who will be affected and brutalized, as all in this country are targeted as well, and from many different angles. You will not be protected by these monsters, you will not be out of harm’s way; you will be the next victims to fall if you fail to stop this insanity. - LewRockwell

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

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

When you poke the Bear, the Bear retaliates BIG TIME!
Ukraine’s total losses since the start of Moscow’s military campaign are approaching 400,000 troops, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has claimed. President Vladimir Putin, who presided over a meeting of the ministry’s collegium on Tuesday, stated that Russian troops now have the upper hand along the entire front line.
According to Shoigu, “since the start of the special operation, the Ukrainian armed forces’ casualties have exceeded 383,000 service members, killed and wounded, 14,000 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 553 warplanes and 259 helicopters, 8,500 artillery pieces, and multiple launch rocket systems.”
Putin declared at the meeting that Moscow is “not going to give up our goals of the special military operation,” adding that the Russian military currently has considerable leeway for maneuver in the conflict.
According to the Russian leader, Kiev “has to a large degree squandered its reserves, attempting to show some result to its true masters.” The last several months have also dispelled the myth that Western military hardware is invincible, he added.
Putin concluded that any hopes of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia among Kiev’s Western backers have been shattered. - RT

Andrey Sushentsov, the leading professor at the Russian Foreign Ministry’s MGMO University, and one of Russia’s top geostrategists, headlined on June 28th, “Why the Russia-US conflict will outlast the Ukraine crisis: Moscow must look at Washington as a long-term threat”, and he opened:
The desire of the US to dominate and its refusal to see other countries as equals, willing and able to assume equal responsibility for peace and stability, is the short answer to the question of why Moscow-Washington relations cannot get out of the current state of crisis. This attitude also leads the US to the same difficulties in its relations with China, India and even some of its own allies, such as Turkey.
The Russian and Chinese position is buttressed by the principle that peace is the result of compromise between the major centers of power, and that without their mutual agreement – without equality, mutual respect, a willingness to recognize each other’s interests, and adherence to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs – a stable order is impossible. The US believes, however, that peace is a deterministic given, and that no special effort is needed to maintain it. This leads to paradoxical solutions: the more weapons, the more peace. The West is not yet ready to become just one of the Atlanteans holding up the sky. It still believes it should be in charge - LewRockwell

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

[We are not obliged to GTH with Biden.]
The Biden administration published on Friday changes to the Title IX discrimination law to now include “gender identity,” setting the stage for legal fights with nearly half the states, which have passed laws to protect women and children from the transgender ideology.
The newly published Title IX regulations expand the federal government’s prohibition against “discrimination” to now include under its umbrella “discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.”
The move has drawn strong public criticism from conservatives, who have rallied behind the protection of women and children from transgender ideology in schools and public spaces, and the erosion of basic safeguards such as sex-exclusive locker rooms, restrooms, and sports.
Rep. Julianne Young, member of the Idaho legislature who introduced the Gem State’s recent Definition of Sex law (which affirms that “there are only two sexes, male and female”) expressed her outrage at the administration’s abuse of a law originally meant to protect women so that it now does just the opposite.
In comments on Biden’s new changes to Title IX, Young stated, “It is outrageous and unconscionable that the Biden administration is now using civil rights law created to protect women to assault them, undermining their privacy, dignity, and safety!” - Lifesitenews

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.

Scholz's confirmation of the involvement of NATO officers and trained personnel in Ukraine has opened a can of worms and now people are wondering aloud about the precise number of NATO country personnel in Ukraine, yet it is certain that their presence is significant, with contributions from the United States, the UK, France, Poland, and other nations.
The discussion on NATO's role in Ukraine is tense, with accusations of NATO not just aiding Ukraine against Russia but also trying to set up military bases near Russia. Reports suggest the US has placed up to 12 CIA bases by the Russian border, seen as aggression by Moscow. Additionally, there are attempts to limit Russia's military reach and possibly change its regime, with NATO actively involved in this strategy. - TFIGlobal

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!

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.

The Russian military has identified and destroyed three US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and several accompanying vehicles, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Monday.
A series of Russian strikes was apparently delivered overnight, according to drone footage. Two positions deployed in relative proximity to each other next to a dirt road on the edge of a small forest were hit first, with survivors appearing to rush towards cars parked nearby. The third strike hit the forest itself.
The Russian ministry estimates the strikes destroyed three HIMARS launchers, three support cars, and a single loader vehicle, and killed over 30 troops.
Total Ukrainian casualties in the Kursk Region offensive have surpassed 8,900, the ministry reported in a regular update on Monday. Russian forces have destroyed six HIMARS launchers, two tracked MLRS launchers and dozens of heavy weapons sent by Kiev across the border for the incursion, the report said. - RT

THE WHITE HOUSE AND MODERN MYSTICAL ARTIFACTS HUNTERS
On my Syrian trips, I met cultural historian Antoine from Aleppo, who showed me holy sites looted by radical Islamists during the occupation. The removal of ancient artifacts from Syria was coordinated by the International Anti-Terrorist Coalition.
Last year, local sources in the province of Hasakah told the Syrian news agency SANA that the U.S. military, in cooperation with the Kurdish militia, was seizing archaeological sites in the province. The Americans transported all the looted artifacts, including ancient seals, statues and gold, to their military bases in Syria, in order to then smuggle them abroad.
The current U.S. Authorities are aware of this, but do nothing about it. Why exactly have the holy sites been looted? I have been searching for answers in conversations with experts and am preparing a documentary with RT about it. Now I want to show you some excerpts from the upcoming movie. - Intel Republic

UKRAINE IS RUNNING OUT OF MEN AS HOPE OF VICTORY FADES
The reports are piling up — just like Ukrainian corpses — of Ukraine’s massive losses on the battlefield. A year ago, according to the Telegraph, hopes ran high in Ukraine about an imminent victory. That celebratory chorus is gone; replaced by a funeral dirge.The horrific losses are hitting Ukrainians hard. Despite vows to fight to the bitter end or fervent belief in ultimate victory, the mismatch between Russia’s superior firepower and Ukraine’s increasingly desperate attempt to round up new recruits and get more weaponry from depleted American and NATO stores presents Kiev with an impossible task. - Sonar21

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

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. And the Middle East is certainly tied, in many ways, to Russia, the Ukrainian war, and multipolarity in general. - Simplicius

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

Many members of the ‘elite’ Ukrainian units that invaded Russia’s Kursk Region often surrender because they are no longer able to fight and want to stay alive, Major-General Apty Alaudinov, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia’s Chechen Republic, has said.
Alaudinov rejected Kiev’s claims that Russian soldiers executed nine Ukrainian service members in Kursk Region, many of whom were drone operators.
The general dismissed the claim as a psyop, arguing that Ukraine “needs to create fake news to discourage its military from surrendering,” as many of its soldiers “openly say they can fight no more.” Despite these efforts, he added, Ukrainian soldiers “often decide to surrender anyway.”
“What’s interesting is that the units that they considered to be the most unassailable and elite, they are also beginning to slowly lean toward surrendering, as they want to stay alive,” he said. - RT

[As Russia moves forwards in some areas, the West backs off and continues to make futile and empty gestures. It is a retreat which the West is trying, and failing badly, to convince its populations that it is winning. How soon before there is nowhere left to retreat to? When that time arrives, the West will still be issuing threats and thinking they have the divine right to dictate the conditions for their own surrender. Such is the situation in 'Wonderland', where the psychotic and deranged 'Queen of Hearts', Ursula von de Leyen, thinks she will always be in control.]
Russia’s unexpected resilience in the face of the unprecedented Western sanctions pressure has caught the US and its allies off guard, the nation’s first deputy prime minister, Andrey Belousov, said on Sunday. Moscow has achieved true economic sovereignty and demonstrated its ability to pursue independent policy and defend national interests despite any external pressure, he added.
“The West was shocked that Russia stood fast in the face of sanctions,” he said at a major ‘Russia’ exhibition that opened in Moscow over the weekend. “We were foretold of a catastrophe comparable to the 1990s,” he said. - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Drone filmed the insane combat work of Russian soldiers, directly approaching to clear Ukrainian troops who taken up positions in their makeshift dugouts near the village of Terny. The Russian Defense Ministry released a video on January 9, 2025, showing the brave actions by the Assault Detachment of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army as part of the Zapad Group of Forces, supported by reconnaissance and assault UAV. The soldiers of the assault unit assisted by the UAV team, adjusted their actions in the wooded and snowy terrain, especially as the soldiers approached the enemy's fortifications, which could pose an unexpected danger. However, the commander of the assault detachment promptly received information about the existing firing positions and the nature of the enemy's actions.
The Russian assault troops were well trained and well equipped. They advanced strongly where the gunners finished off Zelensky's men in close combat, who had dug in the ground for their defense. Meanwhile, the airdrops of ammunition dropped by drones did not give the Ukrainian troops a chance to return fire, who were moving freely along the tracks. Hard work but successful! As a result, Russian troops not only broke through most of the front line in Terny, they also destroyed enemy personnel in several existing cellars, and captured their strongholds, extending control to the Donetsk front.

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.

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.

False assumptions and false history explain how Washington and the NATO it controls got into this mess.
Assumed Russian economic weakness.
Assumed Russian battlefield incompetence.
Assumed NATO superiority.
Bad history.
All wrong.
And so they bet the farm on an innocent “captive nation”, yearning to be a democracy just like us, which was attacked by a clumsy, stupid mass army of imperialist incompetents from a country with a feeble economy and unstable politics. No wonder it all looked so easy.
Russia hasn’t collapsed, run out of weapons, the ruble isn’t rubble and Putin is still there. The Russian economy, says the IMF, grew more than any G7 country last year and its military, says General Cavoli, is stronger and those who were then sure that “Putin is finished”, now tremble for their foundations. And maybe NATO has ruined itself.
Have they learned anything? Let’s ask Victoria Nuland who is just returned to Kiev for the tenth anniversary of gluing the thing together. Nope. Failure.
If you start with imaginary assumptions, you’ll get imaginary results. As they say in German “Putin wurde brutal unterschätzt.” - Sonar21

TASS Deputy Director-General Mikhail Gusman has criticized the UN for omitting the murders of Russian journalists in its latest report on press safety. Speaking at a session of UNESCO’s International Program for the Development of Communication (IPDC) on Friday, Gusman said the body’s selective approach to attacks on journalists was “unacceptable.”
The veteran journalist was commenting on the latest ‘Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity’ by UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay, which was officially presented at the session. The report, covering 2022 and 2023, claimed that 162 journalists, media workers, and social media producers had been killed over this period, a figure Gusman called “tragic.” However, the document mentioned the murders of only two Russian journalists and did not address other killings, attacks and threats to the country’s media representatives that have taken place since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.
“For me, it was surprising, painful and unacceptable that the report presented by the General Director did not mention my fellow journalists from Russia... I personally knew some of my deceased colleagues, they were honest professionals who passed away while doing their journalistic duty,” Gusman stated. - RT

US President Donald Trump has reiterated his plans to take control of Gaza, saying he intends to enlist other Middle Eastern countries to help rebuild it. Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, Trump called the enclave a “big real estate site,” which needs to be “reclaimed, leveled out, fixed up” for future development.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza… We’re going to bring stability to the… totally war-torn, part of the Middle East. And we’ll own it,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. He doubled down on his idea to relocate Palestinians from the enclave, claiming that it would be done for their own good.
While Israel applauded Trump’s initiative to take control of Gaza, other key regional players and many global powers are strongly opposed. Countries including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Iran, and Brazil voiced their opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians.
Australia, Russia, China and several others stressed the need for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine to end the hostilities for good, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that Trump’s plans could make the situation worse, calling them a “form of ethnic cleansing.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also rejected Trump’s plan, saying Israel should pay for the damage to Gaza. He estimated the cost of the enclave’s reconstruction at 100 billion. - RT

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.

A camera operator with Channel One Russia, Yury Sholmov, was wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on his crew in Kursk Region on Friday. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the attack as a deliberate act by Ukrainian forces, labeling it as another “bloody crime” committed by the Kiev regime against civilians.
The TV crew was targeted while filming on the frontline in the village of Cherkasskaya Konopelka on Friday, when a Ukrainian bomber UAV dropped at least one explosive device. The cameraman, who reportedly suffered a mine-explosion injury and a shrapnel wound to the shin, received first aid at a local hospital and will be transferred for further treatment to Moscow, according to the acting Kursk governor, Alexander Khinshtein.
“By targeting unarmed military correspondents, journalists, cameramen, and photographers – waging a real hunt for them – the Ukrainian Nazis are seeking, by all means, to conceal the truth about their brutal violations of international humanitarian law and atrocities against civilians,” Zakharova said - RT

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.

NATO and Ukraine are in DESPAIR: Dozens Of KINZHAL Hypersonic Missiles Rained Down On LVIV and ODESA
While the West and Ukraine were trying to recover from yesterday's missile attack on the Poltava Institute of Military Communications, where, according to preliminary data, about 600 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign military instructors were killed and seriously injured, Russia launched another massive missile attack on this eastern European country. So, on the night of September 4, 2024, independent monitoring services began to record dozens of explosions almost throughout Ukraine. The air alert sounded in almost all major cities of the Northern, Central, Southern, and even Western parts of Ukraine. - BORZZIKMAN

Terrorism — i.e., the use of violence on civilians and civilian targets for a political purpose — is an act of weakness, not strength. A couple of incidents — the crash of an Azerbaijani airplane in Aktau, Kazakhstan, and the sinking of the Oboronlogistica, a Russian state-controlled company that operated the Ursa Major freighter, in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria — are characterized as terrorist attacks. Maybe.
These are moves of desperation. Ukraine is behaving like a punch-drunk fighter, throwing wild punches but landing no meaningful hits. I expect we will see more of this in the coming weeks as Ukrainian prospects on the battlefield become more dire. Speaking of dire, the following video shows a Ukrainian soldier explaining why he surrendered to the Russians:
This soldier’s testimony is consistent with the losses reported in Andrei’s video — Ukraine has suffered more than 500,000 killed and wounded in 2024 alone. The numbers are horrific for the Ukrainian side, and these kind of losses are not sustainable. The curtain is coming down on Ukraine.- sonar21

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

- China's growing technological edge despite extreme measures by the US & its allies to arrest its development.
- Ukraine's failing offensive is just the visual manifestation of much greater fundamental odds it and its Western sponsors cannot overcome, particularly in terms of military industrial output.
- Tension on the Korean Peninsula is the result of the United States attempting to create yet another proxy conflict like in Ukraine against Russia, but this time across Asia against China.
- NATO exercises meant to intimidate Russia are more posturing than any actual serious message. Posturing without the military industrial capacity to sustain the type of warfare required to defeat Russia is meaningless. The New Atlas War Channel

Russian authorities have charged in absentia two former chiefs of the Ukrainian presidential administration, Igor Rainin and Andrey Bogdan, with crimes against humanity over attacks in Donbass. The accusations stem from their alleged roles in artillery attacks that caused numerous civilian deaths and widespread destruction.
The Russian Investigative Committee announced the charges on Wednesday, citing evidence that Rainin and Bogdan, who held their posts from 2016 to 2019, and from 2019 to February 2020, respectively, orchestrated attacks targeting civilian areas in Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, now parts of Russia.
“As a result of their joint criminal actions, militants under their control carried out numerous artillery attacks on Donbass settlements, leading to the injury and death of 123 people, including 11 children, as well as the destruction of more than 390 civilian infrastructure facilities,” the committee said, adding that Moscow was taking steps to hold the suspects accountable. - RT

Calin Georgescu, the right-wing frontrunner in November’s first round of Romania’s presidential election that was then annulled, is taking the lead ahead of the new balloting scheduled for May, a fresh survey suggests.
A critic of NATO and the EU and a staunch opponent of sending aid to Ukraine, Georgescu topped the first-round vote in November with 22.94%, beating liberal leftist and social democrat candidates. Romania’s Constitutional Court promptly annulled the election ahead of the second-round vote, citing intelligence documents alleging ‘irregularities’ in Georgescu’s performance.
According to the survey conducted by pollster Avangarde, Georgescu is expected not only to retain the leading position but actually to perform better than during the scrapped election. The poll sampled some 1,354 Romanians, representing various social and age groups, and was conducted between January 10 and 16. - RT

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!

URGENT: IRAN Put Ballistic Missiles, Su-35s, S-400 Systems, and Mi-28N Attack Choppers on FULL ALERT
As you all know, on October 26, 2024, Israel finally kept its promise and launched a missile strike against Iran. Even though Israel had been preparing this attack for almost a month, this missile strike did not impress even Western experts with pro-Israeli views. Surprisingly, even many American and European think tanks have admitted that the Israeli missile strike caused minimal damage to Iran. Israel has long threatened to strike Iran's nuclear and oil facilities, but Tel Aviv has not dared to do so. And judging by the incoming information, Tel Aviv did not dare cross Iran's red line for very good reasons. - BORZZIKMAN

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

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.

Reporting to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Gerasimov stated that border security services had stopped the Ukrainian advance with the help of reinforcement units, air strikes, missile forces, and artillery fire.
Kiev’s forces suffered 315 casualties during the attempted incursion, with at least 100 people killed and 215 wounded, Gerasimov estimated. Ukraine also lost 54 armored vehicles, including seven tanks, he added.
Kiev’s forces launched the attack at 5:30am on Tuesday with a force numbering up to a thousand, with the goal of taking over the Sudzhinsky district of Kursk Region, Gerasimov said.
He insisted that Russia’s counter-operation will end with the enemy forces being destroyed or driven back beyond the border. RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – Another HIMARS MLRS along with several of Ukrainian launcher crew members were left in the dust, after a powerful explosion caused by a missile from Russian Army's Iskander operational-tactical complex. On March 8, 2025, the Russian Defense Ministry shared another footage of the successful launch of the Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile, blowing away the HIMARS multiple launch missile system, a US military war aid. Russian reconnaissance officers quickly found the position of the equipment used by Ukrainian Army, trying to camouflage behind trees near the settlement of Novonikolayevka, about 26 km east of the city of Nikolayev and far from the front line. But in the end, misfortunes continue to happen to the well-camouflaged Ukrainian hardware, if Russian Iskander works!
Thus, a large and powerful blow came to the position of the enemy equipment, where an explosion of a certain diameter, completely smoked the system along with its ammunition including its workers. The Defense Ministry added that the strike destroyed 1 unit of the transport and reloading vehicle for the HIMARS system. At least 10 crew members are believed to have been killed, as documentation shows that the target was hit by missile debris all around, accompanied by fire and thick smoke.

We just witnessed the most extraordinary unclothing in the history of American ‘diplomacy’.
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

In 234 years of American history, no president has been criminally prosecuted. The entire world knows that the felony and civil charges against Trump are fabricated and concocted. It is obvious that the Democrat Party uses law as a weapon against political opponents just as Stalin did. Democrats are the worst and most dangerous enemy the Constitution and American citizens have ever had.
The Democrats , focused on maintaining and expanding their one-party state, have a problem. Biden’s own Justice (sic) Department has ruled Biden mentally unfit to stand trial for compromising US security by having possession of unauthorized national security documents and leaving US national security documents in unsecured locations. So how can Biden be allowed to run for president if he is mentally incompetent to stand for trial for a felony because of mental incapacity?
As I have written on this website and said in interviews, one way out for the Democrats, America’s worst enemies who are legitimizing sexual perversion, maintaining open borders so Americans can be over-run with taxpayer supported immigrant-invaders, and maintaining hostility toward Russia, China, and Iran, thus inviting America’s destruction, is to replace Biden with Hillary. - LewRockwell

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.

Russian Marines Captured 15 Polish and French Soldiers In KURSK┃Zelensky Begs The WEST For HELP
As of August 21, 2024, the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to deteriorate rapidly, not only in the Donbass but also in the Kursk region. So, a few minutes ago, many reputable war correspondents officially reported that over the past day, the Russian Armed Forces had established control over three strategically important settlements in the Pokrovsk direction of the front. In particular, it is reported that under the onslaught of Russian troops, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to flee from such settlements as 'Krasny Yar', 'Mezhevoye', and 'Kamyshevka'. Over the past day, the total advance of the Russian Army in this direction of the front was 20 km. According to war correspondents, Russian troops have already come close to the outskirts of one of the most important cities in Donbass - 'Pokrovsk'. - BORZZIKMAN

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!

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

The US must stop the flow of weapons to Ukraine after American-supplied arms were used to strike schools, hospitals, and homes in Russia, Moscow’s ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, has said.
The senior diplomat was referring to strikes on civilians during Kiev’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region this week. According to the regional governor, Ukrainians deliberately attacked non-military targets, even hitting an ambulance with a kamikaze drone and killing the driver and a paramedic. The Russian Defense Ministry listed Western-donated weapons among those destroyed in repelling the Ukrainian forces.
“Washington should stop supplying arms to Kiev and yank the chain of the neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian army,” he said. So far, remarks by American officials on the issue have been “outrageous,” since they failed to sympathize with the civilian victims of “their clients,” he added.
The Russian military estimates that Kiev deployed some 1,000 troops in the attempted incursion on Tuesday morning and has lost roughly a third of them since, including 100 killed in action. The US government has distanced itself from the operation - RT

In an exclusive video report, The Islander's own Steve Sweeney provides a chilling eyewitness account from the Donetsk marketplace, a site of senseless devastation earlier today.
Capturing scenes too inconveniently graphic for the West's client media, Sweeney's report exposes the grim reality of a community torn apart. The marketplace, once a hub of life and laughter, now stands as a haunting symbol of the brutality inflicted by Ukrainian forces, armed and enabled by Western arms, NATO issued 155mm shells.
The bloodstained streets of Donetsk lay bare the West's hand in this tragedy. Their weapons, their support, directly fuel a fascist puppet regime's brutality. Here lies the undeniable justification for Russia's SMO: a stark, necessary shield against the West's cynical game of human chess. As Donetsk mourns, Russia stands as the only bulwark against this orchestrated carnage. - Intel Report

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.

[Go Pound Sand, Trump, you’re nothing but a bloviating narcissist trying to con the world that you’re a genius when, in fact, your actions show that you’re as dumb as dirt, a geopolitical moron of the highest order out for nobody but yourself!]
US President Donald Trump will try to make good on his promise to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine, but not at the cost of Kiev’s complete capitulation to Moscow, Dmitry Suslov, a member of the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, has told RT
“Trump is not abandoning America’s claims to global hegemony. But he is abandoning the liberal gloss that has been accompanying US politics since the end of the Cold War,” the researcher argued. “The Trump administration and Trump personally view the liberal international order and liberal concepts as something that weakens America, instead of making it stronger.” - RT

The outlet noted that if China had at least sent a special envoy, it would have given the summit “significantly more weight” but, according to a German diplomat, the Global South does not seem to be “on board” after countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Brazil also pulled out of the event.
The conference has also been snubbed by several other Latin American countries, including Argentina and Mexico, which have demanded negotiations that would allow both sides of the conflict to participate. Nicaragua went as far as to call Zelensky’s summit a “political farce” that has no goal of finding a path to peace.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has reiterated that Moscow is ready to seek a diplomatic solution to the crisis, but has stressed that “fantasies” cannot serve as a basis for any peace talks.
“All negotiations are based on either military defeat or military victory. Of course, we will win,” Putin said last week. - RT

“To invite people who have chosen Bandera as their national hero… is very strange,” Putin said, referring to Stepan Bandera, a leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during WWII. The UPA allied with the invading Nazi German army and massacred Poles, Jews, Russians, and Ukrainians that they accused of collaborating with the Soviet army. Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko declared Bandera and other UPA members national heroes in 2010, which was later reaffirmed by the current regime in Kiev. Ukrainian nationalists hold annual torchlit marches to mark Bandera’s birthday, calling him the ‘father of the nation’.
Putin noted that Bandera was among those “guilty of the Holocaust” and “the extermination of hundreds of thousands of Jews, Russians, and Poles.”
“The leadership of Ukraine, however, elevated Bandera to the rank of a national hero, a symbol of Ukrainian statehood. Well, these are the current realities in Europe,” he said. - RT

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.

[Guess who benefits, the MIC, follow the money trail every time!]
Washington is “seeking to provoke” a new arms race, with no regard for the security of its allies in Europe and Asia, the Russian leader argued. US activity “would upend the existing security architecture in Asia-Pacific with a disruptive effect on the balance of power there,” he said.
This policy risks sparking a “dangerous crisis in Europe, as well as in the Asia-Pacific Region,” Putin warned. Russia should be ready for any potential developments under these circumstances, the president said as he oversaw the start of the exercises aimed at testing the combat readiness and interoperability of various parts of the Russian Navy and Air Force.
The Russian Armed Forces should “reliably defend” both the nation’s sovereignty and interests, as well as being able to fend off any potential aggression, Putin said. - RT

Moscow has become aware of several cases of Western powers asking certain countries to secretly donate Russian-made weaponry to Kiev for use in the Ukraine conflict, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
Lavrov stated that Russia has been in contact with “certain countries” that the West has been trying to convince to hand over Russia-supplied weapons to Ukraine, without informing Moscow of such transfers.
Lavrov pointed out that when a foreign country legally acquires Russian arms, the shipments come with a certain package of documents, including an end-user certificate. “In accordance with this certificate, the recipient of the weapon does not have the right to resell it or redirect it anywhere without the consent of the supplier country,” the minister explained.
“The weapons that the West supplies to the Ukrainian regime have been found not only in conflict zones in the Middle East, but in illegal shipments that have been recorded in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Gaza,” Lavrov said.
Last week, speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, Lavrov reiterated Moscow’s claims that Kiev has been reselling Western weapons on the black market, and expressed disbelief that Ukraine’s backers were unaware of this. - RT

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.”

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

In an interview with RIA Novosti on Saturday, Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, agreed that the title of ‘leader of the free world’ should be transferred from the US to another party, but not the EU. The world “needs one, and he exists. His name is Vladimir Putin,” he said.
Medvedev also argued that while EU leaders might try to show some defiance in the face of US pressure, they will ultimately cave in. “They will make some noise, post identical messages on social media, and return to their pen. Europe is a feeble, quarrelsome old woman who is utterly dependent on US protection.”
The former president also reiterated that Moscow remains open to negotiations to settle the Ukraine conflict but stressed that they must proceed on Russia’s terms. “We have always been ready for negotiations, and any negotiations require reciprocal steps. But only those steps that correspond to the reality on the ground and our basic law.”
Russia has praised the Trump administration for attempting to resolve the Ukraine conflict and listen to Moscow’s geopolitical concerns related to it, while blasting the EU for attempting to fuel the hostilities by continuing to support Kiev. - RT

ODESSA Massacre: BRITISH and U.S. Soldiers Soared Into The Air Along With Administrative Building
A few minutes ago, the coordinator of the partisan movement in Ukraine, Alexander Lebedev, reported details of a successful operation by Russian forces on the territory of the Odessa region, as a result of which NATO and the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered serious losses. According to him, on July 4, Russian missile forces, together with the Aerospace Forces, launched an effective missile strike on the Odessa region, destroying a significant number of enemy manpower and heavy equipment. As it turned out, the main blow was inflicted on the port city of 'Chernomorsk', which is located 20 km from 'Odessa'. - Intel Republic

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

Russian Ballistic Missiles Wiped Out Top-Secret NATO Military Site In RIVNE┃Russia Captured MIRNOYE
On the night of March 18, Russia launched another massive missile strike on the territory of Ukraine. This time, Khmelnytsky, Rivne, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Kirovograd regions were subjected to massive missile attacks. Moreover, witnesses and monitoring services confirmed numerous explosions at military facilities in cities such as Kremenchuk, Kryvyi Rih, Svetlovodsk, and Rivne - BORZZIKMAN

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

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

Russian investments in the region have seen a significant uptick. By the end of 2023, Russian nationals had registered approximately 9,000 new businesses in Serbia, a figure anticipated to increase in 2024, according to data from the Serbian Business Register Agency (APR). These ventures span various sectors, including IT companies, kindergartens, online retail platforms, production facilities, real estate firms, and co-working spaces, particularly in Belgrade and Novi Sad. - TFIGlobal

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.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for June 9, 2024…
- The collective West, as a substitute for useful military assistance such as artillery systems, ammunition, armor, and air defenses, continue to announce transfers of impractical hardware including aging warplanes that will take years to be deployed properly.
- In addition to US-made F-16s, France is now announcing it will transfer Mirage 2000-5 warplanes, antiquated 1980s airframes necessitating different training, maintenance, and sustainment requirements than F-16s;
- The addition of different airframes represents the continued complication of Ukrainian training, maintenance, logistics, and sustainment efforts, similar to complications surrounding Ukraine’s attempt to field multiple types of Western main battle tanks;
- Western nations continue “training” Ukrainian conscripts despite Western training proven demonstratably insufficient for the type of warfare taking place in Ukraine;
- Attempts to bolster ammunition production remain at the contractual stage, with future orders depending on production facilities that have yet to be built; - The New Atlas

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.

Moscow’s ambassador to UNESCO, Rinat Alyautdinov, has condemned the body for ignoring Ukrainian attacks on Russian journalists and the persecution of Russian media abroad. Speaking at a session of UNESCO’s International Program for the Development of Communication (IPDC) on Friday, the diplomat accused the organization of a “selective approach” in relation to attacks on the press.
Alyautdinov was commenting on the latest Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity by UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay, which was officially presented at the session. The report, covering 2022 and 2023, mentioned the killings of only two Russian journalists since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, despite the fact that the actual death toll is much higher.
“Russia categorically rejects the director general’s report on the safety of journalists, which completely ignores the murders of Russian journalists in 2022-2023,” the diplomat stated, adding that the report was “based on unreliable data and is a source of disinformation.”
He noted that at least five Russian journalists had been “assassinated” by the Kiev regime during the reporting period, including Boris Maksudov, who worked for Russia 24 TV, RIA Novosti’s Rostislav Zhuravlev, Tavria TV’s Oleg Klokov, RuBaltic’s Aleksey Ilyashevich, as well as military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, and journalist Darya Dugina. - RT

NATO Sounds The ALARM! Russian Elite SPETSNAZ Units Run Rampant In The North of UKRAINE! Today, the head of the Sumy Regional Military Directorate, Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladimir Artyukh, made a rather alarming statement. According to him, over the past 30 days, the activities of Russian elite Spetsnaz Units have significantly intensified in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian general notes that this is a rather alarming sign, which indicates that Russia has begun preparing a powerful strike in the north of Ukraine, intending to capture the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions. Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladimir Artyukh admitted that Russian elite Spetsnaz Units freely penetrate the territory of northern Ukraine, where they conduct reconnaissance and sabotage activities - BORZZIKMAN

Russian Spetsnaz Derailed NATO Military Train In Serebriia! AFU Is Retreating From Avdiivka!
Unfortunately, for many Western and Ukrainian bloggers and telegram channels, their worst dream came true - the Ukrainian army began to withdraw its troops from Avdiivka. The corresponding order to retreat was given by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, on February 16, 2024. Thus, it can be stated that the offensive of the Russian army on the most powerful and well-fortified city in Europe, which began on October 10, 2023, ended in a complete victory for Russian troops. The battle for Avdiivka lasted 98 days, and undoubtedly this battle will be studied by world military universities for many more decades. - BORZZIKMAN

Western intelligence services have trained Ukrainian saboteurs to carry out provocations at Russian nuclear power plants, Moscow’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has claimed.
The attempts by Ukraine to target nuclear facilities inside Russia are “beyond reckless” and could end up plunging the European continent “into a radiation nightmare,” Nebenzia warned during an unofficial meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday.
The authorities in Moscow “have credible information that Western intelligence agencies, primarily the British MI6, have systematically prepared Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups to organize provocations at nuclear power plants in Russia.”
Among other things, Kiev and its foreign backers were working on an operation to blow up power lines connecting the nuclear plants with the Russian national energy grid, the envoy stressed.
He recalled how throughout the conflict, “representatives of certain countries” had accused Moscow, “contrary to common sense, of destabilizing the security situation around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which is under our control.” The facility was secured by Russian troops in March 2022.
According to Nebenzia, those making such claims “do their best to ignore the obvious fact that regular and reckless attacks against the ZNPP are a deliberate terrorist strategy of Ukraine.” - RT

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.

The Biden administration and the US corporate media alike have whipped themselves up into an irrational frenzy over the interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin gave to conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has claimed. Earlier, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that professional jealousy had driven the hostile reaction from some of the reporter’s colleagues in the press.
Speaking to Russia’s Izvestia newspaper on Friday, Zakharova said: “This is phenomenal. Their reaction reveals the mendacity of their approaches so much that, frankly speaking, you can’t believe it.”
According to the spokeswoman, “they’ve had a hysterical fit – the White House, the Department of State, all the mainstream media are shouting at the top of their lungs one thing only: don’t watch [President Putin’s interview], and that an American journalist shouldn’t conduct the interview.”
She added that such behavior takes the wind out of Washington’s sails in its attempts to present itself as a beacon of morality, human rights, democracy and freedom of speech. - RT

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

Russia welcomes the statements made by US President Donald Trump regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership ambitions, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Trump is the first Western leader to admit that it was wrong to support Kiev’s plans to join the military bloc, the diplomat said on Wednesday.
Trump stated last month that he understands the Russian stance that Ukraine should not be part of NATO. Speaking to reporters in Florida, the US president said Moscow’s position had long been “written in stone,” but that his predecessor, Joe Biden, had ignored it, which contributed to the current conflict.
“Somewhere along the line, Biden said, ‘[Ukraine], they should be able to join NATO.’ Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I can understand their feelings about that,” Trump added.
Speaking at an ambassadors’ roundtable on Ukraine, Lavrov said Trump’s comments suggest Washington may finally be ready to address issues linked to Ukraine’s NATO bid and the bloc’s eastward expansion. - RT

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

ALL UKRAINIAN PRESIDENTS, DIVIDED AND STOLE, THE PEOPLE HATED THEM ALL - Belarusian Prez Lukashenko says Zelensky ain't only corrupt war criminal supported by the West, but every head of state since creation of country 404. Ukraine is a testing ground where fate of future world order is partly being decided, largest nuclear powers, albeit indirectly, are actually fighting on its territory. Government has sunk to a deal with the West, exchanging weapons for Ukrainian lives. He hails patriotic steadfastness of country's citizens for preventing NATO's military intervention, a color revolution and fate as ugly as current state of Ukraine. Belarus stands face-to-face with NATO on its western borders. Plan approved for deployment of 300,000-strong military group on bloc's eastern flank. They call it a "containment belt.", Just to understand, who they are going to restrain? - Lukashenko asks. - Intel Republic

The UK and EU cannot be part of the Ukraine peace talks, as they are incapable of negotiating, Moscow’s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia has said.
The diplomat made the comments as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yury Ushakov, President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide, arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday for bilateral talks with top US diplomats, discussions to which the EU and Ukraine are not invited.
“The Minsk guarantors, and in general EU states and the UK are incapable of negotiation and cannot be a party to any future agreements on regulating the Ukrainian crisis,” Nebenzia told the UN Security Council on Monday.
Both are blinded by “a manic desire to defeat Russia on the battlefield at the hands of the surviving Ukrainians,” the diplomat said. Neither EU countries nor the UK are suitable to serve “as either guarantors or middlemen” to a potential ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, he added. - RT

While Witkoff is in Qatar, Israel is doing a lot of saber rattling and threatening to go back on the so-called offensive. The true term for it is, “genocide.” The Zionists and Trump share a bit in common when it comes to bombast and threats. While the Zionists continue to pretend that they crippled Hamas, the reality is otherwise. Hamas inflicted serious damage on the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) and, thanks to the ceasefire, have had time to regroup and prepare for the next round of Zionist attacks. So, we are again confronted with Donald Trump saying one thing in public and, apparently, doing the exact opposite behind the curtain. I hope for the sake of the Palestinian people that Trump is serious about doing a deal to secure a comprehensive peace. However, the Zionist settlers are so extreme that they are unlikely to accept any negotiated settlement. Wouldn’t it be sweet to see the Zionist crazies get the Zelensky treatment — i.e., a frustrated Donald Trump erupts at their intransigence and stubbornness. We can dream can’t we? - sonar21

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

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

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.

[AXIOM: When searching for the cause of chaos in the world, the diabolic West Intelligence Services are at the head of the class!]
Since the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government earlier this month, Washington and London have set a goal of “maintaining chaos in the Middle East” in order to achieve a lasting dominance over the region, the agency said in a statement on Saturday.
However, Russia’s military presence on the Mediterranean coast of Syria has been hampering their plans, the statement stressed.
“In order to remove this ‘obstacle,’ British intelligence services are developing plans to organize a series of terrorist attacks on Russian military facilities in Syria,” the SVR said.
The role of the perpetrators of those assaults will be assigned to the fighters of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), who were released from prisons after the regime change in the country, it added.
“According to available information, representatives of the British intelligence service MI6 and the America’s CIA recently tasked Syria-based IS commanders under their control with carrying out a series of attacks on Russian military bases. To do out this dirty work, the terrorists received attack UAVs,” the statement read. - RT

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

Britain and Ukraine will never gain a foothold in the Azov Sea, and Russia will “severely suppress” any attempt by either country to do so, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
“We would like to warn the dreamers at Bankova and Downing Street that there is no place for either Ukraine or the UK for cooperation in the Sea of Azov,” she added, using a shorthand term for government buildings in Kiev.
Ever since the regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson voted to join the Russian Federation in 2022, the Azov Sea has been an inland Russian sea.
“Any claims to these waters are a gross interference in the internal affairs of our country and will be severely suppressed,” Zakharova continued.
“As for the agreement between Ukraine and the UK itself, it is insignificant for us,” she said. “We consider it another PR campaign by the Kiev regime, which is ready to sign a bill of sale for the sale of the country or make it a new British colony.” - RT

Kiev’s total losses from its incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region have surpassed 20,000, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said in its latest report on Sunday. Russian troops have continued their counteroffensive in the area while preventing more Ukrainian units from crossing into the region, it added.
The Ukrainian military has lost around 200 soldiers over the past 24 hours alone, the Defense Ministry’s report said. Several pieces of Ukrainian hardware were also destroyed in the last 24 hours, including an artillery system, three mortars, and two vehicles, while one Ukrainian soldier surrendered, the Russian military noted.
The total number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in the fighting in the Russian border region has exceeded 20,800, the ministry claimed. Kiev has also lost over 130 tanks, 66 infantry fighting vehicles, and almost 100 armored personnel carriers during the operation, which was launched in early August, according to the Russian military’s estimates.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces also stopped four Ukrainian counterattacks within the region and two attempts to cross into Russian territory. - RT

KAMALA'S STUPID, TRUMP WILL BE FORCED TO OBEY THE SYSTEM OR DIE - former Russian Prez Medvedev (pictured) weighs in with reasoned judgement on U.S' November 5 election, stressing outcome will not change anything for Russia, since both candidates follow consensus that Moscow must be defeated.
Kamala is stupid, inexperienced, controllable and will be afraid of everyone around her. The most important ministers and assistants will rule, plus indirectly the Obama family
A tired Trump, issuing platitudes like "I'll offer a deal" and "I have a great relationship with...", will also be forced to follow all the system's rules. He won't be able to stop the war. Not in a day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he really tries, he could become the new JFK
Only one thing matters: how much money new POTUS will knock out for someone else's distant war. For his military-industrial complex and for Bandera scum to cut up
Therefore, best thing to do on November 5 is to continue to smash Kiev Nazi regime - Medvedev. - Intel Republic

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!

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!

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.

Russia will not accept a temporary ceasefire with Ukraine, since it will only be used by the collective West to reinforce Kiev until hostilities can break out again, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Moscow is seeking only a lasting solution which will put an end to the ongoing crisis, Zakharova relayed on Thursday during a regular press briefing.
“A temporary ceasefire or, as many say, freezing the conflict, is unacceptable,” she stressed. “We need reliable, legally binding agreements and mechanisms that would guarantee that the crisis will not recur.”
Zakharova warned that a simple pause in the fighting “will be used by the West – the collective West as a whole or its individual representatives – to strengthen the military potential of the Kiev regime and, of course, to attempt an armed revanche,” she warned.
Moscow has opposed a temporary ceasefire, citing past experiences and arguing it would only allow Ukraine to prepare for further conflict. - RT

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

For a long time, yellow press flacks tried desperately to couch Ukraine’s collapse as merely the need for a breather, or deceptively spinning it on Russia or Putin’s desire for peace talks, owing to high losses and a putative inability to achieve goals.
But now, everywhere you look, for the first time the omerta has been lifted: outlets are openly—albeit still in hushed tones—admitting that Ukraine not only faces some vague ‘defeat’, but total capitulation to Russia. Even before, when at times such an outcome was hinted at, the full ramifications of the word were left intentionally open-ended, as if in hopes the reader would not yet assume the worst, but perhaps imagine Ukraine’s “collapse” was merely some localized event. What’s changed now is they are openly defining it: this is the second major report in days which quite directly says: If things continue as they are, Russian tanks will roll through both Kiev and Lvov, full stop.
The important thing, though, is that Western narrative writers have now shed all final vestiges of pretense. Everywhere you look, top figures are openly evoking a total Ukrainian defeat, not a ‘stalemate’. - Simplicius

The West’s “hope” strategy also bet the farm that the West could easily isolate Russia on the international stage and devastate its economy with sanctions. Whoops!! 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. Foreign Minister Lavrov, Defense Chief Shoigu, former President Medvedev and Speaker of the Duma Volodin all communicated a simple message — Ukraine must capitulate or it will cease to exist as a nation. - Sonar21

WASHINGTON FEARS ISIS TICKING TIME BOMB, bracing for potential nightmare scenario of THOUSANDS of ISIS terrorists escaping from Syrian prisons and unleashing hell on the world.
U.S. officials warn 50,000 extremists, including 9,000 battle-hardened ISIS fighters are in makeshift prisons guarded by lightly armed U.S-backed Kurdish forces, could jailbreak any moment due to continuous Turkish attacks.
I usually hate this cliché, but this is closest thing to ticking time bomb. If Turkey doesn’t get these attacks on SDF halted, we could have massive jailbreak on our hands - U.S. counterterrorism official to publication above (1st picture).
This is essentially a terrorist army in detention. I am very concerned - retired U.S. General Votel.
Yeah, sure, U.S. pretending concern over ISIS but has no problem with HTS terrorists walking out of prisons and ruling over Syria, same terrorists its federal government commission USCIRF (bottom screenshots) reported as "Risk to Syria's religiously diverse population" and as perpetrators of rape, torture and sectarian killings - guess for U.S, a terrorist in need is a friend indeed. - Intel Republic

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.

[Biden and his warmongering minions worldwide are criminally insane! They must be resisted to their faces in no uncertain terms, PERIOD! Uncontrollable Anger, a big warning re dementia! Par for the course for Biden who, having no coherent arguments, must resort to screaming to intimidate all those who see through his con! Got to keep those MIC Cash Registers ringing, Right Biden!]
The US will not stop supporting Ukraine during its conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address on Thursday night.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hell-bent on “sowing chaos around Europe,” Biden claimed.
“If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop in Ukraine, I assure you he will not,” Biden told Congress. He went on to renew his appeal to House Republicans to stop blocking additional military aid to Kiev.
“Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself,” he said. - RT

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.

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

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.

December 29, 2023, will go down in history as the most massive missile attack on Ukraine since the beginning of a special military operation. The representative of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, said that Ukrainian radars had detected such a large number of enemy missiles and loitering munitions for the first time since February 2022.1 According to him, Russia used almost all types of rockets except the 'KALIBR' cruise missile during this attack. According to preliminary data, during this attack, Russia used about 110 'Geranium' kamikaze drones and about 50 missiles of various types, ranging from 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles to 'Iskander' ballistic missiles - BORZZIKMAN

Excluding Russia from the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation has turned the ceremony into a gathering of descendants of Holocaust perpetrators and their collaborators, Serbian Deputy PM Aleksandar Vulin has said.
Speaking on International Holocaust Remembrance Day – January 27, when Soviet troops captured the death camp in 1945, established by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland – Vulin harshly criticized Warsaw’s decision not to invite a Russian delegation to the ceremony over the Ukraine conflict.
“The unthinkable crimes of the German people and state were ‘rewarded’ by the unification of Germany. Eighty years later, the liberation of Auschwitz is celebrated with the participation of countries that organized the Holocaust in Auschwitz, such as Germany and its allies, or countries that provided guards, such as Poland or Croatia,” Vulin stated.
The exclusion of Russia from the ceremony is another revisionist move and an attempt to rewrite history by EU member states, Vulin said. “If there are still living prisoners of Auschwitz among us, ask them to whom they owe their lives – to the grandchildren of the Red Army soldiers or to the grandchildren of the SS and Wehrmacht soldiers.” - RT

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”!

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

“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

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for Sunday, June 2, 2024…
- US green-lights use of American weapons on Russian territory, however this is a process that has been ongoing for decades, it is simply taking place more openly now;
- The New York Times has previously admitted that the US built up the Ukrainian intelligence and military units conducting attacks including terrorism inside Russia since 2022;
- The US was behind Chechen extremists Russia fought two wars against within its own borders in the late 1990s and early 2000s;
- If Ukraine’s use of Western weapons have failed to impede Russian success along the line of contact, it can be assumed that attempting to use them across Russia’s vast interior will only further dilute Ukrainian firepower along the front and compound its crisis further;
- A recent Ukrainian attack on Kerch Port, Crimea demonstrates how difficult it is even with large-scale complex attacks directed by NATO to disrupt ports operations at a single port, Russia has multiple ports, the Crimean Bridge, and land bridge that would need to be disrupted in order to “isolate” Crimea;
- The Czech-led artillery shell initiative now admittedly involves munitions in poor condition, with half of the rounds being collected requiring refurbishment, meaning the supposed 800,000 rounds on their way to Ukraine will be sent in smaller tranches over a longer period of time, impacting Ukraine’s daily rate of fire; - The New Atlas

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.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for February 25, 2024...
- Russian forces have cleared Avdeevka, taking over a thousand Ukrainian soldiers prisoner, illustrating the disorganized nature of Ukraine’s withdrawal;
- The US Department of Defense admits essential supporting elements for sustaining US weapon systems transferred to Ukraine were never provided, thus inhibiting the effective use of US arms by Ukrainians;
- A fighting force makes up a small percentage of an overall military service because of the large amount of support infantry require on the modern battlefield. Without these supporting elements, a fighting force cannot sustain combat especially against a better supported force;
- US military equipment is especially complex to sustain and maintain on the battlefield, a fact illustrated by US purchases of Russian helicopters for Afghan forces because US helicopters were too difficult to fly, maintain, and sustain;
- The end game for Ukraine is particularly bleak considering the attritional nature of the conflict, Russia’s ability to outproduce Ukraine and its allies, and the unrealistic objectives Ukraine and its Western sponsors are attempting to achieve;
- Attempts to focus on Russian military shortcomings while ignoring Ukrainian military shortcomings produces a fatally flawed perception of the conflict disallowing both the means and objectives of the fighting to be realistically evaluated; - The New Atlas

“I think that the main challenge for America as a nation and as a people right now, is ensuring that these results are accepted by society, given the experience of past elections,” Zakharova said.
“Secondly, whatever that outcome is, obviously they're going to have to overcome the internal emotional divide.”
The diplomat noted that some people in the US are ready to come to blows over which candidate they support.
“You see how people are literally ready to attack each other, beat each other, just because the other person wears symbols or campaigns for the politician they trust,” Zakharova said, adding that has already led to violence on US streets. The solution is unclear because the situation is “unprecedented,” according to Zakharova. - RT

The early months of 2024 have extended the previous year's trend of significant NATO military hardware losses. This period saw the destruction of hundreds of advanced Western armor, artillery, and air defense systems, notably during a counteroffensive. Particularly, in late January, Ukrainian forces faced setbacks with the loss of several state-of-the-art NATO air defense systems, including the SAMP-T and "Skynex," valued at around €182 million. Additionally, the destruction of notable Western-manufactured armored vehicles, such as the British "Challenger 2," German "Leopard 2A4" tanks, and the American M1 "Abrams," further underscored these losses. -TFIGlobal

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

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

Russian Saboteurs Blew Up An Arms Factory In Poland Amid the Capture of STAROMAYRSK & RYZHIVKA By RF
The beginning of the next work week started with another bad news for the Ukrainian General Staff and its NATO military advisers. So, on the night of June 10, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, officially announced that the strategically important settlement of 'Ryzhivka', located in the northern part of the Sumy region, was completely liberated by Russian troops. According to him, the operation to liberate this village was carried out by the fighters of Spetsnaz 'Akhmat' together with other units of the Russian Army. Ramzan Kadyrov also added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with heavy losses in manpower and heavy equipment, were forced to retreat in a southwesterly direction, several tens of kilometers deep into the Sumy region. - BORZZIKMAN

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.

Waging wars is good for the US economy, which is why Washington's overnight strikes against the Houthis in Yemen come as no surprise, Dr. Oscar van Heerden, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for African Diplomacy and Leadership at the University of Johannesburg, told Sputnik Africa.
"As we know, the US is a war economy. When there's war, it's good for the economy," he said. "The saber rattling that we are seeing with China around Taiwan, we are seeing this proxy war in Ukraine with Russia, and now they are picking a fight with the Yemeni rebels and so forth. I wouldn't be surprised if we are going to see one or two additional hotspots that involves the United States and the UK."
He added that the US attacked the Houthis "without consultation," and if there's a continuation of these kinds of attacks, then "of course the war is going to escalate." - Intel Report

American Military Build-up fueling tensions in Asia - Lavrov RT
A Standing Ovation for your accurate description of the Godless Degenerate Moral Rot that America has become in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, to be sure! I would say that about nails it BIG TIME. Way to go!
"The world is sick of the rank hypocrisy and double standards of the West. This is why I believe today’s speech marks a pivotal point which we may look back to one day, many years in the future. Biden is the perfect emblematic “terminal president”—a sick, decaying, geriatric, craven and amoral, medically-induced, plastic sock-puppet who represents the terminally diseased final days of his declining empire.
"Biden’s repugnant address to the nation was fraught with an unprecedented lack of self-awareness. Bloated with hubris, it showed the naked face of U.S.’s callow and abject servitude to the globalists who’ve highjacked not only America’s foreign policy, but its domestic one as well—and everything in between.
"You have to be in some kind of drugged stupor or under the spell of establishment narrative to not notice the hideously rank hypocrisy that flowed from Biden’s demented, medically-malformed mouth tonight. In the same sentence, he unironically condemned Putin’s “barbaric invasion” over a smaller neighbor while begging for tens of billions for Israel to…carry out a barbaric invasion over its smaller neighbor." - Simplicius

Germany must stop concealing facts about the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and must provide full transparency over its investigation into the incident, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has insisted. Moscow has already filed an official complaint against Berlin’s probe into the bombings.
Lavrov stressed that Germany, which has been investigating the incident, must “stop categorically refusing to present the facts that it couldn’t have failed to discover.”
He also suggested that when information formally requested by Russia is not presented officially, but instead appears in news articles, it raises “suspicions that all of this is staged” and that “the entire operation is designed to somehow divert public opinion” from the “true perpetrators, culprits, and clients [of the attack].”
Moscow will formally insist on a transparent international investigation into the bombings, Lavrov noted, claiming that it was “shameful” for Germany to “silently accept” that it had been deprived of a long-term energy supply crucial for its development as a country.
“Germany has swallowed it silently, without any comment,” Lavrov said. - RT

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

The Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of the Donbass town of Dzerzhinsk on Friday. The location has seen active fighting in recent months, becoming the scene of an intense urban battle as Ukrainian troops mounted counterattacks in an effort to retrieve lost positions.
Dzerzhinsk had served as the key staging area for Ukraine to launch artillery, missile, and drone strikes on Gorlovka on an almost daily basis.
The mine and its environs came under Russian control earlier this week, with the development apparently accelerating the full liberation of Dzerzhinsk.
Earlier on Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Druzhba and Krymskoye, two small villages to the northeast of Dzerzhinsk. The development apparently signals the retreat of the remnants of the Ukrainian forces stationed in the area, likely towards Konstantinovka, a major town around 12km to the northwest of Dzerzhinsk.
The town was liberated by Russia’s ‘Center’ grouping of troops, which has seen the most intense combat over the past week. According to the Russian Defense Ministry’s weekly media briefing, over the past seven days the troop grouping alone has killed or wounded over 3,700 Ukrainian servicemen. It has also reportedly destroyed four tanks, including a German-supplied Leopard, as well as 29 other armored vehicles. - RT

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

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

A man accused of plotting a series of terrorist attacks against Russian security facilities has been arrested in the city of Stavropol, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Wednesday.
According to an official statement provided to RT, the suspect is from a country in Central Asia and is a supporter of a Ukrainian paramilitary group that is banned in Russia. The FSB report says he was directed by a handler based in Ukraine and was preparing attacks using Molotov cocktails against key government and security facilities in Stavropol Region.
The suspect’s intended targets reportedly included the regional offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, a military commissariat, a military hospital, and the administration of Stavropol’s Industrial District.
The authorities revealed that the suspect had conducted reconnaissance, acquired chemical components, and assembled incendiary devices. Following the planned attacks, he allegedly intended to flee to Ukraine and join the country’s armed forces.
The FSB has also released a video of the suspect’s arrest and interrogation, in which he confesses to being ordered to carry out the attacks. It shows Molotov cocktails and communication devices found in his apartment, including messages containing instructions from his Ukrainian contact. - RT

Russia welcomes the statements made by US President Donald Trump regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership ambitions, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Trump is the first Western leader to admit that it was wrong to support Kiev’s plans to join the military bloc, the diplomat said on Wednesday.
Trump stated last month that he understands the Russian stance that Ukraine should not be part of NATO. Speaking to reporters in Florida, the US president said Moscow’s position had long been “written in stone,” but that his predecessor, Joe Biden, had ignored it, which contributed to the current conflict.
“Somewhere along the line, Biden said, ‘[Ukraine], they should be able to join NATO.’ Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I can understand their feelings about that,” Trump added.
Speaking at an ambassadors’ roundtable on Ukraine, Lavrov said Trump’s comments suggest Washington may finally be ready to address issues linked to Ukraine’s NATO bid and the bloc’s eastward expansion. - RT

The potential deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine will lead to a “catastrophic scenario,” and could be interpreted as a “declaration of war” on Moscow, top Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev has said.
The Vice Speaker of Russia’s upper chamber, the Federation Council, offered his take on remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron on the possibility of sending troops in a Telegram post on Tuesday. The approach exhibited by the French leader carries a risk of the situation devolving into a “catastrophic scenario,” Kosachev warned, stating that the move would not be tolerated by the Kremlin.
“This is the line beyond which it’s no longer just NATO’s involvement in the war – this has been happening for a long time, but can be interpreted as the alliance entering direct hostilities, or even as a declaration of war,” Kosachev wrote.
The senator’s comments echoed a statement made by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who said the move would make a direct collision between the US-led bloc and Moscow not only “possible,” but actually “inevitable.” - RT

MILITARY TUBE TODAY – A French-made SCALP missile was captured and deactivated by Russia near the Kursk border, where the tandem hollow-point missile was found in a snowdrift in a district of the region, Russian channels reported on February 12, 2025, learning from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. Russian engineers in the midst of a dismantling session released their video, showing demining officers defusing the €2.3 billion missile, fired by France for Ukraine, which was now taken over by Russia. This is a new blow to Emmanuel Macron as the Russian army records success after success, now the Russian government has revealed that the French SCALP missile was seized intact!
The footage on February 11 showed a sapper team from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations defusing a SCALP cruise missile, where the Ministry said that the French-made SCALP missile was successfully disabled in the Russian border region of Kursk. Ukraine has used SCALP missiles on Russian territory for the first time, which Moscow says means that the use of Western long-range missiles on Russian territory would mean that such an attack would only be possible if intelligence from NATO satellites were used, namely if NATO participates directly in the conflict. Russia destroyed the SCALP when they arrived, and may have displayed one in Moscow after getting all its technological secrets, as a testament to France's hostility towards Russia, the report wrote.

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.

[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

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

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
