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

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

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
