  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. Russia has a “wide arsenal” of political and economic countermeasures to respond to the potential confiscation of its sovereign assets, including a tit-for-tat seizure of Western property in Russia, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. Zakharova pointed out that Russia has a “significant” amount of Western funds and property under its jurisdiction. “All of it may be subject to Russian retaliatory policy and retaliatory actions. The arsenal of political and economic countermeasures is wide,” she told reporters at a regular press briefing on Wednesday. - RT

  4. ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLASTS YOU'LL EVER SEE in video above - reportedly as a result of first-ever use of Russia's Glide FAB-3000 bomb on a Ukrainian troops deployment point in Liptsy, Kharkov, East Ukraine, decimating several buildings in a massive explosion with a jaw-dropping shockwave. Bomb's blast radius reported at 230 meters, while fragments maintain deadly force of up to 1240 meters - and Kiev's regime thought the FAB-500 was unstoppable - Intel Republic

  5. Ukraine is unable to stop FAB aerial bombs with UMPC using by Russian aviation against their facilities. In Liptsy of Kharkov, a temporary deployment point in a four-story building was destroyed by FAB-3000, while FAB-500M62 bombs covered Ukrainian equipment and personnel buildings in Vozdvizhevka, Zaporozhye. - Military Tube Today

  6. Jun 20, 2024 - Despite the US and Europe sending "billions in arms" to Ukraine, the quantities and quality of these weapons fall far short of what is necessary to effect change on the battlefield; - Javelin missile production, for example is approximately 200 per month, with a 19% hit rate versus 375 armored vehicles produced by Russia monthly; - Even if all Javelin missiles produced went to Ukraine (which they do not), it would still fall far short in being able to destroy Russian armor produced over the same period of time; - Numbers for TOW missiles and NLAW systems are likewise low, when added together, still are not enough to degrade Russian armor on the battlefield sufficiently; - A similar story can be told regarding Western artillery shell and air defense system production; - Western rhetoric regarding the renewed flow of US weapons to Ukraine is not based on sound analysis, but is instead propaganda aimed at overriding the catastrophe real analysis says will unfold if this proxy war continues; - The New Atlas
