MAKING SENSE OF NATO STRIKES AGAINST RUSSIA

What is left of Russian barracks in Makeevka following a HIMARS strike



There is no doubt that NATO is trying hard to escalate the war in the Ukraine. Just before the end of the year there were two drones strikes against a major Aerospace Forces base in Engels. The attacks were not very successful, but Russians did die when shrapnel hit a fuel truck which exploded. The importance of that attack was that Engels is located deep inside Russia.

Then there were assorted small attacks against various Russian border posts and towns near the Russian border.

And now this on one day:

Ukrainian drone hits energy facility inside Russia – governor

and

Dozens dead in Ukrainian strike on Russian troops – Moscow

Let’s first deal with the second headline. The first thing we need to say is that this was a legal target under the laws of war: NATO hit Russian military personnel, and that is a fully legal target. However, if we look just a tad deeper, we realize that the HIMARS attack was conducted by western “volunteers/advisors”, that is to say NATO personnel who took off their uniform and are under cover. This is still yet another direct NATO attack on Russian soldiers.

[Sidebar: this is the type of attack HIMARS are very good at: precision strikes against fragile targets. HIMARS has very good range and precision, but their warheads are too small to successfully take out harder targets, such as bridges or bunkers. HIMARS, especially backed by the full US/NATO C4ISR capabilities, do represent a major threat to any “soft” targets like, in this case, wooden barracks]

I would note that only a clueless civilian could expect NATO to never do anything, offer no resistance, take no counter-measures, never succeed or hit Russians were in hurts. The truth in warfare is that the enemy will shoot back (at least in a real war, not a counter-insurgency operation against a vastly inferior adversary).

But what about the rest of these strikes, especially those aimed at Russian territory (as it was before the liberation of Ukrainian regions)?

So we need to ask a basic question: what is the goal of these strikes?

Let’s begin with some truisms:

First, none of these strikes will make ANY difference on the actual course of this war. Just like the Israeli strikes against Lebanon or Syria (latest one today, killed two Syrians and damaged the facilities). However, while the Israeli strikes on Syria are for “psychotherapeutic reasons” (I have explained that MANY times in the past), this is not the case with NATO strikes, including the “non-claimed” ones against Engels.

Second, after each of these strikes many people will wonder what Russia will do about it. The precedent is the attack on the Crimean bridge which gave Russia a pretext to switch off the lights in Banderastan. And yes, it was only a pretext, as such massive strikes campaign cannot be quickly planned and executed in a few hours/days. The self-evident truth is that the Russians were quite ready to unleash their strikes long BEFORE the Crimean Bridge attack, but that they were more than happy to have that attack as a pretext (as opposed to a *reason*) to strike.

And, if you wonder, Russia is still conducting such strikes daily, including strikes involving hundreds of missiles! These follow on strikes are almost not reported in the western media because 1) “Ze” banned any images/videos of the results of these strikes and 2) reporting their true magnitude would undermine the official narrative (including the one about Russia running out of ammo).

Still, NATO does not act just to show that it can act. There is a real, military, purpose behind these strikes. And it is not “just” to provoke Russia into some kind of response (not with tens and even hundreds of Russian missile strikes every day already taking place).

The war is already going on, the Russians are already fighting along a very long frontline, the Russian Aerospace Forces are already striking targets over the entire Ukraine, so what is there more to provoke/trigger?

I submit that there is only one thing which the Russians have not done yet, and that is the fullscale combined arms operation the Russian General Staff is preparing. And since this major offensive is almost certain to happen, the only thing which such NATO strikes could affect is the timing of the attack. And since there is no way that these NATO (pinprick) strikes could delay the Russian offensive, their only possibly goal would be to make it happen sooner.

Why would NATO want the Russian offensive sooner rather than later? In all its other actions, the AngloZionists have tried to draw out this war for as long as possible, so why would they want to make the Russians attack sooner rather than later?

Because the Russian General Staff is waiting for all the “ducks to be lined” up before attacking. Thus by trying to force the Russians into a premature attack date, NATO is, very logically, trying to prevent all the said “ducks” to be “lined up”. In other words, NATO is trying to force the hand of the Russian General Staff by increasing the pressure on the Kremlin to “finally take action”.

Trying to force your enemy into a premature attack makes perfect military sense (as would any effort to seize the initiative and impose your tempo on your enemy).

These efforts are greatly aided by the following categories:

Civilians who don’t understand warfare
Infantiles who get outraged every time NATO successfully strikes Russian targets
Western (fake) “friends of Russia” who mantrically repeat that “Putin is weak/indicisive/naive/fill_the_blank“
Western PSYOPS who want to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubts) in the Russian general public

These four groups form a rather loud crowd who act EXACTLY as the AngloZionist want them to.

So how effective are these NATO efforts?

Here we need to mention a deep cultural difference between the Russian society and the western one: most Russians have a much better understanding of war than the folks in the West. This is true for civilians through the generals. There are many reasons for that, but just to name a few:

Many Russians have military training (basic or more advanced)
Almost every Russian has lost family members during WWII and, therefore, know how ugly war is.
Russian culture, from books to movies, is chock full of war stories, and not of the Tom Clancy type, but the real thing.
Wars in Chechnia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Georgia, Syria, Armenia and many more conflicts have “educated” the Russian society about the painful realities of war.

Unlike the hallucinations of the (fake) “friends of Russia” in the West, the “Strelkovites” and other assorted “allislosters” in Russia have very little traction or credibility with the Russian general public. Simply put – Russians trust Surovikin (and Putin!) much, more than these hysterical FUDers because they instinctively feel that what is needed is not anger, but focus.

Conclusion:

NATO is trying hard to force the Russians into a “NATO schedule” and out of their planned schedule. An added beneficial side-effect from such “for optics only” strikes is to give the morons in Congress a rationale to put even more money into the US MIC.

As for forcing Russia to attack in suboptimal conditions, that won’t happen. Neither Putin, nor Shoigu, nor Gerasimov nor Surovikin are the types who will respond to hysterics with “for optics only” actions (just look at their faces, I mean it!). And this also goes for the entire General Staff.

I fully concur with those who, like Macgregor, have been announcing a major combined arms offensive this Spring, but it will happen when Putin decides it, not when NATO wants it. Right now, the Russian meat grinder is inflicting such losses on the Ukraine that it makes no sense for the Russians to stop it. But, sooner or later, even this will eventually yield diminishing marginal returns and, by then, the Russian forces (there are three of them around the Ukraine) will be fully ready, trained, equipped and poised to attack.

The big unknown (to us, the Russians probably already know) is what NATO will do when this offensive happens. You can be sure that the “best” minds (relatively speaking) in the US are working on the following task: how to trigger a continental war without directly and officially involving the United States?

I don’t have an answer to this, your guess is as good as mine �

Any suggestions?

2023: The Future Has Arrived: The End of 500 Years of Conquistador Civilisation

By Batiushka

Foreword
It is often said that the systemic Western European superiority complex, a disease that consists of the self-justified domination and exploitation of the surrounding world, began with the First ‘Crusade’ (1096-1099).
Technically, this is true, but before it, there were other events that we may call ‘Pre-Crusades’. For example, there was the massacre by the barbarian Frankish leader Charlemagne of 4,500 Saxons at Verden in 782.

This bloodbath was the foundation of Frankish Europe, which still survives as the core of the lies of the EU today. After the collapse of Charlemagne’s Europe and a period of consolidation, 200 years later there came the events of the earlier eleventh century which did exactly presage the First Crusade at its end. First, there was the Frankish ‘Reconquista’ Crusade which began to accelerate in the eleventh century in Iberia. Then came the ‘Norman’ (in fact they were the collective campaigns of all the Frankish-made scum of North-Western Europe) Crusades or Conquests in Sicily, Southern Italy, and England in 1066.

Like these ‘Pre-Crusades’, the genocidal ‘conquests’ of the First Crusade essentially took place inside Europe, or else close by in the Near East. These Viking-type raiding and trading military expeditions, led on horseback and operating from castles, were expanded into Western Europe (the Celtic lands invaded from the Frankish base in England) and into Eastern Europe (the Baltics and Russia). However, the revolution came with the export of this aggressive Eurocentric mentality to distant lands through the ‘Conquistadors’ (same word) in what we now call Latin America 500 years ago. They were the fruit of Columbus’ imperialist and capitalist venture of 1492 and were followed by da Gama’s money-seeking ventures to southern Africa and India in 1497. They triggered a global revolution because they led to the worldwide genocide and plunder of other peoples and the destruction of their civilizations. Clive of India, Rhodes of Africa, Clinton of Serbia, Bush of Iraq, and Biden of the Ukraine were only the conquistadors of later times. However, today we are seeing the end of their Conquistador Civilisation.

Our Great Reset
Thus, now we come to the end of the vital crossroads year of 2022 and a revolution that happens only once every 500 years. What we had been waiting for over so many years is now here. The date of 24 February 2022 has already gone down in world history. With the incredibly aggressive refusal of Washington to allow the Kyiv puppet regime to grant freedom to the people of the Donbass, Russia has been obliged to turn to Defence Plan B, to partial mobilisation and the demilitarisation and liberation of all of the Ukraine and even beyond, as the suicidal attitudes of the Western world will oblige it to do. A limited operation has had to be turned by Western aggression into a full-scale war and the US/West/NATO has deprived itself of peace and prosperity through its suicidal sanctions. It means the end of Western Conquistador Civilisation. Thus, we try to peer over the horizon into 2023 and beyond. What will come once the Ukrainian war is over?
Some who follow the Western reporting of the conflict may be surprised by these statements. However, that reporting has been a strange mixture of delusional fantasies/wishful thinking and straightforward propaganda, organised by Western secret services and PR agencies, omitting truth, logic and reality. Venal journalists have been ordered to report such nonsense from on high – otherwise, they would have lost their careers and their income. Such reporting has essentially been destined to try and keep Western peoples under control in the hardships they are facing as a result of the suicidal decisions of their US-controlled political elites.

The US elite is making use of the meagre resources of its NATO vassals (so-called ‘allies’), using as its battlefield the Ukraine and as its cannon fodder Ukrainians and mercenaries. But Russian victory is inevitable, even if delayed because the US is deliberately and suicidally making the Ukraine into its Second Vietnam. The Western elite wants to fight ‘to the last Ukrainian’. (“We don’t care how many Ukrainians will die. How many women, children, civilians and military? We don’t care. Ukraine cannot take the peace decision. The peace decision can only be taken in Washington. But for now, we want to continue this war, we will fight to the last Ukrainian.” Former US Senator Richard Blake). Therefore, it is immorally supplying all sorts of lethal arms for hundreds of thousands more of these hoodwinked Slavs to die or to be maimed.

Even if some in NATO dare to send more tens of thousands of the ‘willing’ to be slaughtered in the Ukraine directly, and not pretending to be Ukrainians, as with the many, many thousands of mainly Polish mercenaries at present, many of them already killed, that victory is still inevitable. Given Western aggression and intransigence, Russia has been preparing for a full-scale Continental war ever since 2014. Even if next year the Polish Army with its new 200,000 reservists armed to the teeth by the USA, attacks, Russia is ready. Although the prophecies of elders indicate May 2024 as the end of this ten-year-long war (the US elite started it through its paid Ukrainian puppets in 2014), prophecies are always conditional on repentance and we should not try to predict exact details from them. Whatever happens, the next few years are going to see revolutionary transformations worldwide as a result of this war.

The New World Order
The most dramatic event after its defeat in the Ukraine will surely be the retreat of the USA, as it is expelled from Eurasia, a process that began in Vietnam and then continued in Iraq and Afghanistan. The nationalist Trump wanted to withdraw voluntarily, but he was not allowed to, therefore the humiliating US withdrawal will happen by force, as it did in Kabul. ‘Yanks, go home’, chants the whole world, including many in Western Europe, tired of US tyranny. In Eurasia the US now occupies only a few islands (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore), the tips of two peninsulas (Korea and Western Europe) and the seaboard edge Israel. It will have to leave all of these, except for the Non-Palestinian parts of Israel. Taiwan will naturally return to China, Japan will have to find its own way, reconciling itself to a reunited Korea and submitting itself to China economically. For Western Europe, see below.

Once home, the USA will have to lick its wounds and be deoligarchised by popular revolt. The dedollarisation of the world economy is already under way, with very serious consequences for the deindustrialised US economy. The American Empire will undergo deimperialisation, like the European Empires after 1945, and, if at all possible, have to find some sort of unity, identity and sovereignty in its highly polarised, highly indebted and highly fragile situation. Outside the US, the world chants ‘Yanks, go home’, but inside the US, ordinary Americans chant: ‘Feds, go home’. It is the same thing. The swamp must be drained. The departure of the USA from Western Europe after its eighty-year-long occupation will mean the end of the already much disarmed and futile NATO. The suicidal bankruptcy of the European countries will also lead to the end of NATO’s political and economic arm, the EU.

This will mean the reconfiguration of the tip of the European peninsula and its resovereignisation, a process that has already begun in Hungary. In the Western Balkans, Camp Bondsteel, the second largest US base in the world, will be abandoned, and Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia will rearrange themselves in the post-American world, the world of long-awaited justice. The future of Europe is not thousands of miles across the Atlantic, but eastwards, next door, in its natural sources of energy, food, fertiliser and manufactures. Europe as a separate Continent is after all a pure fiction, an artificial construct which was created from and cut off from the Eurasian landmass for purely political reasons. Europe is about to learn this, as it returns to its roots, which Russia alone has kept. A Russian-led Europe provides the prospect of unity of sovereign but confederal Northern Eurasia ‘from sea to shining sea’, in fact, from Reykjavik to Tokyo. It is the future, in which the USA is utterly irrelevant. Its ‘lies-based order’ of genocidal chaos is over.

Inside Russia itself the transformation has already begun, with treacherous members of the ‘creative class’ gone to their spiritual home in Israel, with Pugachova and Zelensky, as well as across the borders to Georgia and Finland. This cleansing process and the ensuing Re-Russification of Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus will go far. After the deviations of 200 years of Imperial Russia – and there were very serious deviations then – otherwise, Tsar Nicholas II would not have wanted to return to pre-Imperial Russia, to ‘Rus’ and there would never have been 1917 – 75 years of Marxist Sovietisation and 30 corrupt years of the Americanisation and so oligarchisation, the transformation has far to go. There will be a great and radical refreshing and cleansing of national identity after this unheard-of period of decadence and corruption, which ultimately stretches back over 300 years. All Russian institutions, including the still Sovietised Church, together with its small branches founded by post-1917 emigres, will be transformed. The uncompromised Russian Church, freed from the moneychangers, will arise from the embarrassing ruins of the past. The past is over. The arrival of the future in 2022 has made it all so irrelevant.

The New Christian Order
As regards the current versions of Western Christianity, Protestantism (1517-2017) is largely a spent force within the Western world, its 500-year best before date is up. Just as it was launched by printing technology, it has been ended by internet technology. Puritanism preached ‘Hate the sin and especially hate the sinner’, now it's just as aggressive descendant, Wokeism, preaches, ‘Love the sinner and especially love the sin’. In other words, all is permitted. The once full churches of Protestantism close down in their hundreds every year in the Western world. It was what it was, a moralising and White Supremacist blip in history, both for good, as in keeping promises, honesty, integrity and moral uprightness, and for bad, as in the ruthless and unsustainable exploitation of human and natural resources, including slavery, the obsession with money and saving money, as well as boring and iconoclastic philistinism caused by narrow-minded bigotry, and the tragic, rigid, literalist, moralising, unnatural and pharisaical repression of human nature, causing crass hypocrisy and misogyny, to the point of the slaughter of women as ‘witches’.

As for Roman Catholicism, throwing out the baby with the bathwater, it was taken over by the CIA in the early sixties to be used as a political battering ram against the USSR. And it too is also largely a spent force (1054-2054?) in the Western world. Covered-up pedophilia and the misogyny of compulsorily unmarried and frustrated clerics, some of them perverts, now exposed, are killing it off. Little wonder that some say that the present Pope is the last one. However, if Catholicism can be freed of American and European political stooges and cleansed of its inherent millennial secularism, it at least can return to roots (Protestantism as a schismatic, splintering protest opinion movement has in itself no roots to return to). Liberated from Rome, the people now called ‘Catholics’ can reflourish in new forms, especially in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia, providing that Catholicism goes native, yet remains traditional, and the Global South’s clergy’s almost universal, but hypocritically concealed marriages can be recognised officially. This will mean Catholicism divesting itself of the secularist and corrupt Western Middle Ages and returning to the spirit of the pre-Roman Catholic Faith of first millennium Western Europe.

As regards the Non-Western, Orthodox Church, the 200 million in the at present fifteen local branches of the Orthodox Church, the Dewesternisation revolution will be just as radical. At present, there is 7%, the 14 million of the Greek Churches of Constantinople, Greece, Cyprus, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. Once the US Establishment, which stands behind them all and meddles intensively in their affairs, has retreated, freedom will come to them at last. As for the Russian Church, 70% or 140 million, just as for the 23% or 46 million of the other Non-Greek Churches, in Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Antioch, Macedonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Albania, the revolution will also necessarily be radical. They are all going to have to be freed from the Western disease of worldliness:
‘And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves’.

Afterword
The whole Russian policy over the last twenty-two years to move towards a multipolar/polycentric world is now coming to fruition. The Big Four, Russian, China, India and Iran, are being joined by many countries from all Continents in the Global South in huge and powerful Non-Western organisations like BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), the SCO (Shanghai Co-operation Organisation) and the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union), to form a new G20 to replace the failed American vassal one.

Now this multipolar/polycentric world, inherently anti-centralist, will be reflected in ramifications everywhere. The old and failed centralisation, which has always brought corruption in its wake, will gradually disappear and people may be seen for what they are. This is a warning to all tyrants and bullies, who have promoted artificial unions and institutions all over the world. Your secrets are being found out. Your time is up. We shall not die on our knees but live on our feet. It is time for the Deimperialisation and the Resovereignisation of both whole countries and of individual souls.
1 January 2023

Lula has been sworn in as president for the third time.

Brazil's incoming President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced on Sunday his intention to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the BRICS association

"Our leading role will be embodied in the resumption of South American integration on the basis of Mercosur (the South American Common Market ), based on the revival of the Union of South American Nations and other sovereign institutions of our region. On this basis, we will be able to build an active and productive dialogue with the United States, the EU, China, Asian countries and other global players, strengthening BRICS and cooperation with African countries in order to break through the isolation in which the country has been in recent years," he said during his inaugural speech.

Don't destroy things you cannot rebuild. It has political implications.

i couldn't agree less.

citygarden:
They should on generator na. St least that is what we're surviving on in Nigeria

There is no Generator to buy. All is bought completely from electronic giant like Epicentr and others. There is scarcity of Generator.

And yet I am inclined to think that the only really clear, simple and rational reason that Putin refrains from harsh actions, and when he opt for them, he immediately stops – until the next emergency situation – is that he does not want to destroy the “Non-Aligned Movement”.

That is, a conditional coalition of states that do not exactly support Russia – it’s not possible to say that – but still play a big role in creating “ambiguity”, both diplomatic and sanctions, each in their own way. And even, maybe, a coalition of states and individual bright personalities.

Trump and Musk, the Saudi prince and the Emirates, India and China, Orban and Vucic, partly Israel (especially if Bibi returns), a fair part of Latin America, Transcaucasia and Central Asia, and, of course, Sultan Erdogan.

None of them individually can provide Russia with a political result, but taken together, they create a well-marked background.

And – so, perhaps, they think in the Kremlin – it will take another month, two, three, and some from this list, or even many at once, will become battering rams of negotiations and the completion of their own on decent terms.

But if all these countries and all these people are confronted – loudly and spectacularly, and this will be provided by the global media machine – with the total destruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure and the corpses of the Ukrainian leadership, then the desire of the so-called “Anglo-Saxons” to convince them to abandon Moscow may suddenly come true.

And even without the Anglo-Saxons: is it nice for a big boss from the non-Western world to look at Zelensky’s corpse, to which a missile flew from the sky?

Unlikely. And not at all from Ukrainophilism, which does not exist.

But because this nasty ending is involuntarily projected onto oneself (“and if the Houthis do this to me”, “and if Taiwan does this to me”, “and if the tigers liberate something there as well”).

That’s why, it seems to me, everything is going the way it is.

nurudeen181:
As Russian troops entered Ukraine, the government in Kiev ordered
the “emergency destruction” of pathogens including plague and
anthrax at US-funded laboratories near the Russian border, the
Ministry of Defense in Moscow claimed on Sunday. Earlier rumors
that the Russian military was targeting US-run biolabs were written
off as conspiracy theories, but the ministry has promised to back
up its claims with documents.
“We have received documentation from employees of Ukrainian
biolaboratories on the emergency destruction on February 24 of
especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia,
cholera and other deadly diseases,” read a statement from the
ministry.
The statement accused the “Kiev regime” of conducting an
“emergency cleansing” to hide evidence of the supposed biological
weapons program, which the ministry claimed was funded by the
US, and involved the production of “biological weapons
components” at at least two laboratories in the cities of Poltava and
Kharkov, both of which have seen intense fighting between Russian
and Ukrainian forces in recent days.
The documents published by the ministry purportedly include an
order from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to destroy the
pathogens, and lists of the germs in question.
RT can not independently verify the authenticity of these
documents. Russia’s Defense Ministry said that they are currently
being analyzed by radiation, chemical and biological protection
specialists.
“In the near future we will present the results of the analysis,” the
ministry said, adding that it believes the documents will prove that
Ukraine and the US were violating Article 1 of the UN Biological
Weapons Convention. The US, Ukraine and Russia are among more
than 180 parties to this treaty, and under Article 1 of the
agreement, all parties agree “never under any circumstances to
develop, produce, stockpile, acquire, or retain” biological weapons.
As of the moment of this article’s publication, Washington has not
commented on the ministry’s claims, and neither has Kiev.
In the initial days of Russia’s military offensive last month, claims
circulated online that Russia was targeting western-funded biolabs
with missile strikes. These allegations were never verified and
were derided by western sources as conspiracy theories , although
the Pentagon has publicly stated that it works with the Ukrainian
government to “consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of
security concern in Ukrainian government facilities,” for “peaceful
research and vaccine development,” according to the US embassy
in Kiev.

This is very likely, judging by Wuhan laboratory in China sponsored by the U.S.

They are building Bio weapon, I am sure not for E.U, most definitely to kill the Russians or even test run it first on Donbas people.
This is a Barbaric act.

Azov's neo-Nazi character in Mauriopol has been covered by NYT, Guardian, BBC, Telegraph & Reuters. On-the-ground journalists from established Western media outlets have written of witnessing SS runes, swastikas & Nazi salutes. Up until last year that is.

Too much fake news posted on this thread.

This is real NEWS.

NOT EXACTLY CHERNOBYL


By Dmitry Orlov and posted with the author’s permission

I guess I’ll have to keep publishing some short notes on the situation in the Ukraine, since it’s all over the news and most of that is fake news. Overnight there was a ridiculous amount of noise about Zaporozhskaya AES, which is the largest nuke plant in Europe.

President Zelensky proclaimed that it is the new Chernobyl and that all of Europe will need to be evacuated. He was obviously drunk at the time.

What actually happened was:

At 11:11 AM Moscow time (about an hour ago) the authorities of Zaporozhye Region announced that Zaporozhskaya AES is under control of the Russian forces.

At 6:20 AM Moscow time the fire at the administrative building at Zaporozhskaya AES was extinguished with no casualties. It was probably set on purpose to create the media picture of “Europe’s largest nuke plant on fire!”

At 5:36 AM Moscow time the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that the fire in the area of Zaporozhskaya AES did not affect any of the main equipment at the plant.

At 4:47 AM Moscow time president Zelensky goes live to announce that the Russians are trying to create a new Chernobyl. A likely story, that.

Between 3:51 AM and 3:59 AM Moscow time fire crews were on site putting out the fire. Apparently, there wasn’t a lot for them to do.

Between 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM Moscow time there was a shootout at the power plant’s administrative building. Somehow it resulted in a fire at the administrative building.

So much for a new Chernobyl.

In other news, this morning the Ukrainian army launched a rocket attack on the headquarters of the Ukrainian Nazi “Azov” battalion. Ten Nazis were killed in the attack. This was punishment for their refusal to follow orders.

In other news from this morning, Russia’s media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, is tightening up control by shutting down sources of disinformation and enemy propaganda, including:

• Facebook

• Meduza

• BBC

• Deutsche Welle

• Radio Free Europe

Previously, “Echo of Moscow” and “Dozhd” were shut down. What this means is that fighting fake news in Russia is going to get a lot easier. Of course, it doesn’t mean anything for the rest of the world, which will still have to listen to fake news of Europe’s largest nuclear plant being blown up by evil Russians.

Yesterday’s negotiations between the Ukraine (the regime) and Russia resulted in an agreement on humanitarian corridors so that civilians can get out of cities where there is fighting going on. The problem with that is that the remaining Nazi battalions don’t particularly obey orders from the regime and like to use civilians as hostages and human shields.

In all, the Russian demilitariazation campaign is going according to schedule. Ukraine’s nuclear installations are passing under Russian control undamaged. Infrastructure damage is quite limited (unless it is military infrastructure, in which case it gets blown up).

As far as denazification—the other goal of the Russian campaign—people are scratching their heads trying to figure out what that means and how it might happen. On the one hand, the Russians know them by name, face, voice print and perhaps even fingerprints, so it’s just a matter of hunting them down. On the other hand, the high-ranking Ukrainian Nazis and their families are currently fleeing the Ukraine and filtering out to the surrounding countries while simultaneously trying to organize terrorist attacks within Russia (unsuccessfully so far). To add spice, Ramzan Kadyrov, the intrepid Chechen chieftain, promised to track them down and kill them wherever they are. “We are everywhere in the world,” he said.

The rest of the situation is as follows (as far as I can piece it together). Kiev is a complete and utter mess and is likely to remain that way. There are pockets of Nazi resistance in Kharkov, making it slow going. Mariupol is largely under control and may come under complete control sooner now that the Ukrainian troops are firing on their own. Nothing has happened in Odessa yet. These are the major cities; but there are numerous smaller cities and towns that are being cleared of Ukrainian forces every day—too many to mention.

Meanwhile, in the West, it may finally be dawning on some people that the extent of the self-inflicted damage from the anti-Russian hysteria is more than anybody bargained for.

For example, the EU demanded that all Russian leases on Airbus jets—over 500 of them—be cancelled. It also blocked the sale of Airbus parts to Russia and forbade Russian planes from being serviced. It also closed its airspace to Russian planes and Russia closed its airspace to EU planes in response. The EU also blocked the SWIFT payment system. This means the following things:

• The European leasing companies will have to pay Russia huge fines for canceling the leases but can’t because SWIFT isn’t working.

• The European leasing companies have to get their planes out of Russian territory but can’t because their flight crews can’t get into Russia and once they take possession of the planes the planes won’t be allowed to take off (airspace is closed).

• The planes can no longer be serviced according to the maintenance schedule, which means that in a couple of months they won’t be able to fly at all.

• Given that this is a force majeur circumstance, the Russian government can very easily nationalize these planes, including all of the intellectual property and patent rights contained therein, and start making their own parts and providing their own service.

• Given all of the above, the obvious choice for the European leasing companies to declare bankruptcy and cease operations. Company representatives have said as much.

That is just one example; there are many others. What we seem to be observing is a bout of collective insanity in the West that is resulting in a sort of collective economic and political “suicide by Russia.” I’ll do my best to figure out exactly what that means in the coming days.

Day 9 of the Russian special operation in the Ukraine



The main news missing from here is that the Russian Black Sea Fleet conducted strikes on the Ukrainian coast southwest of Odessa. The other big news I already mentioned, the Russian safely took control of the Zaporozhie nuclear plant. Earlier the Ukronazis wanted a no fly zone above it to prevent another Chernobyl, only much worse.

That fake story died today.

Speaking of dying fake stories, there ought to be somewhere in the virtual space a “fake story cemetery” were all the fakes of western PSYOPs would be held in one place with videos, audio, texts, maps, etc.

Putin is quite right, the West is the Empire of Lies. It ought to be “honored” as such.

Speaking of honor.

I am getting emails from many friends in Europe. They all report the same: Russians are being expelled and otherwise “canceled” all over Europe. And here is what I find the most amazing: most of these bans, expulsions and “cancellation” are VOLUNTARY, that is to say, that the institutions which impose them are NOT forced to do this by any law or Gestapo. Nope. Europeans do that VOLUNTARILY.

Pure racist hatred and persecution, sometimes with violence. Here is the ugly truth

The people of the West want to “cancel Russia”
First, good luck with that!

Second, actually, I am grateful.

This war has fully shown the true face of the West to the rest of the planet.

NOW we really see what “western values” are, and that is a MUCH NEEDED “vaccine” for the Russia nation.

Speaking of Russia, my contact there tell me that the initial shock is wearing off and that all the fearmongering of the first days has been debunked ad nauseam and that the number of Russians who support that special operation in the Ukraine has actually risen to above 70%! I cannot confirm that, but it seems likely to me considering the outcome from 1 week of fantastically intensive “informational warfare” which began by a crushing and very effective attack by western PSYOPs but which, as is always the case, eventually peters out over time (Iraqi WMD anybody?).

I think that the informational tide will begin to slowly turn now. Not a picosecond too soon…

One Duma Deputy recently mentioned that besides organizing a Nuremberg like Tribunal or Ukronazi warcrime and human rights violations, there could be another tribunal which would compile, present and characterize the lies which the Ukies and their western patrons have covered the entire infospace with.

Interesting idea for sure…

The western media has now shown that it has sunk way, waaaaay below the level of such rags as Trud or Völkischer Beobachter.

And yet, in spite of it all, the official narrative is cracking. It is not only Scott Ritter of MacGregor, even in the UK some truly surprising things are being published.

Check this one out “Putin is NOT crazy and the Russian invasion is NOT failing. The West’s delusions about this war – and its failure to understand the enemy – will prevent it from saving Ukraine, writes military analyst BILL ROGGIO“. Read it, its worth seeing the size of the cracks :-) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10569141/Putin-NOT-crazy-Russian-invasion-NOT-failing-writes-military-analyst-BILL-ROGGIO.html

So what is your answer?

Too many Nazi sympathizers

1/2 Mariupol. 18++ Caution, cruel footage. Attempts to leave Mariupol end with executions. In these footage, filmed at an exit checkpoint, the couple stumbled upon those killed by Ukrainian radicals, and then also came under fire from the Azov Nazis.

To Give Some Impression Of The Scope.
Of operation in Ukraine. Here is the map for today:
[img]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjil-bRdBJGMau-uCDGvZ7h3FQmOWpDdiUOpGUOa_zIBlqQVkr6wr4mxSsd9Q6QgGqQbcxtXHrz0aM-5FaVBqY3mnrpSlWw1t21aInLhnuKUBI1PQ6tGFNG_bQ9dugQHC_WPIDS-CGXdbK91lYUh1h1cfLmdpMAbsfVUPlWODzmHh_XUmnkIW77qs5s=w637-h448[/img]

Those who still have issues with grasping what they see, I'll give them some scale: the area of operations you observe is roughly the size of one third of Ukraine's territory which is 603,000 sq. km / 3=201, 000 sq.km, which is very roughly (slightly less) the size of the United Kingdom. So, those who still have issue with coming to terms with what is actually happening--get a grip, it is a serious war of a new generation. I speak about this in video I am trying--unsuccessfully--to upload to YouTube in the last two hours. It simply refuses to load it, stops at 11% and is not moving. The progress is excellent.

Those who expect that war to be over in 72 hours, you better get educated on the meaning of the deep operations and urban combat. Some people call on Russia now to go into overdrive. Russia can do that but she will not do that because this will mean many more civilian casualties. Especially against the background of ukies using human shields all over the place, such as not allowing civilians to leave for humanitarian corridors Russian Army opened all over: from Kiev to Mariupol. Nazis are desperate, as are their masters from Washington and London.

Lol ekuke said that MNK is a puppet to the UK forgetting that UK and co supported their puppet in the name of gowon.

Keep Biafra out of your jargons

Ojukwu was a puppet of the U.S at the time and the Zionist of Israel. Britain even tried to kill their puppet Gowon but it failed. Do you know where Gowon finally went to buy arms to defeat Ojukwu's forces when they got to Ore?

Ojukwu was pretty winning and had taken over all the Igbo states until he overstepped. Then it became obvious it's no longer about Biafra. Then the slogan go on Gowon. It was a war of control not even 1 bit the direct interest of anyone living in the Geographical expression.

Just like you have it in Ukraine as we speak. It has never been about the people but those who are pulling the strings. In the case of Ukraine, the same set of people just that this time, Russia is setting a redline.

ivandragon:


Lol. What argument is being lost? You are the one calling the Bolsheviks zionists not me. I know them as Marxists... that is proven fact.

Anyway, let Russia continue to do what it is doing. In fact, I hope it goes further to reclaim for Soviet satellite states. Perhaps, that would appeal to those who see the wrong of the west as justification of aggression from the Bear.

The Bolsheviks were a radical revolutionary party, led by Vladimir Lenin And Trostky Both (A jew).
Trostky - Born to a wealthy Ukrainian-Jewish family in Yanovka (now Bereslavka), Trotsky embraced Marxism after moving to Nikolayev in 1896. In 1898, he was arrested for revolutionary activities and subsequently exiled to Siberia. Russian ways are not that of regime change or ideologies such as the Zionist embedded ones. One of the reason they removed the Provisional government in Moscow is pointing to the fact that it was ineffective, lost Crimean peninsular. it was Vladimir Lenin and Trostky who later named USSR Marxism. Both of them were on exile. Do you know what that means in today's context? Czarist government labeled them foreign proxy forces that are serving the interest of not the Russians. The same way you have the EURO integrationist 5th and 6th column in Russia today.

The dissolution of the monarchies in the powerful countries in Europe along with the privatizing of their central banks. Magus . Yes but who ran England and France then (and now for that matter)? And yes, the "real people" did get what they want. Who are they?

There is one thing that has been constant in Putin's Policy. Russia does not bluff.

wwwihy:
One thing this war has achieved is exposing Russian forces and Putin as unintelligent, weak, overrated and overhyped. One week after, Ukraine Forces still standing strong and giving Putin bloody noses.

The only thing Russian Forces know is bombing of civilians

This is a result of too many lies from the west. They are crumbling. How can anyone in this age and the digital world be so propagandized as to think like this?

It's a Peaceful operation, not an onslaught leveling like Afghanistan or Aleppo of Syria.

This is an example of the neo-nazi AZOV battalion that Zelensky openly allows to commit violence in Ukraine. And yet a whole herd are touting him as a hero because the MSM told them to.

I am not into conspiracy theories like your zionist ideology. I simply stated facts which are true regardless of which news source you chose...

The facts are there. Only when you are losing the argument and cannot comprehend why Russia is doing what it does today, you start using attacks such as "conspiracy theories" - in other words if the narrative does not conform to the usual western ideology. Does Zionist exist? Yes, it does. Does nazism exist yes, it does. They all started as a movement and very well around till date.

ivandragon:

Which ideology/culture was dominant in the Soviet Union? Was it not Russian? So how come it was Russia, the country that annexed other countries & called them satellites that got free?

Which power is the dominant force in today's Anglozionist empire? The de facto U.S anglo America. Since the greek empire, the divide between the west and the east has always existed and in those days, Rome was the de-facto leader of the empire. Now it's the U.S.

ivandragon:

Which country controls crimera today?

Read up on tatarophobia in Russia... has any other country invaded them because of that?

Crimean has finally reunited with her parent country in the year 2014. Russia, what did your Western ideology call that? Invasion.

They were shouting invasion since 2014. They don't know the difference. What will they call the one Russia is doing now?

ivandragon:

The point is this, because it seems you have missed it, the Russians are also guilty of what the US has been, in most cases, rightfully condemned about, even though one may want to debate on the finer points, but it is neither here nor there...

Russia is not guilty of anything by following the norms and rules set after the end of 2nd world war.
Russia to me here, is preventing another huge war like 2nd world war which will be bloodier because it will involve nuclear bomb.

By this I think Putin himself should be given a peace price.
NATO has expanded east and now even to the borders of Russia.
Do you know what it means?
Do you know how many times U.S has done this and to how many countries. Now even getting to the boarders of Russia?
Do you know what that means? You want a direct conflict with Russia and NATO?

I think for the first time in a long time, Russia is very right.

Czechia's Supreme State Attorney Igor Striz

Czech judiciary threatens to punish public support for Russian op in Ukraine with 3 years in prison, police recording online comments.

Publicly backing the Russian invasion of Ukraine might be subject to custodial sentences of up to three years, Czechia's Supreme State Attorney Igor Striz said in a statement on Saturday.

By the following day, Czech police were already investigating dozens of cases, local news site TN Nova reported. Czech police spokesman Ondrej Moravcik said: "We will carefully evaluate such actions and thoroughly analyse whether they represent such crimes."


Comment: The establishment were relatively successful in censoring and sowing discord against those who questioned the contrived coronavirus narrative, now they're going for those who question the Russia-Ukraine narrative.


The Public Prosecutor's Office appealed for Czech citizens to stay within the confines of the country's constitutional and legal restrictions. Although freedom of expression is stipulated in the Czech constitution, meaning everyone has the right to express their views, it also has its limits just as in any democratic state.


Comment: Indeed it does have its limits, however it seems those limits are expanding at a apace.

This means that "under certain conditions", anyone publicly supporting or praising the leaders of the Russian Federation regarding the country's attack on Ukraine could face criminal charges, including at demonstrations or even online, Striz said.

Striz's statement cited sections 365 and 405 of the Czech Criminal Code, which state that whoever publicly approves a crime or publicly praises the perpetrator can be imprisoned for up to a year, and that anyone who "publicly denies, questions, approves or seeks to justify Nazi, communist, or other genocide" can face a jail sentence of up to three years.


Comment: How ironic that a law intended to target Nazism actually fosters it by protecting the neo-Nazi's in Ukraine from scrutiny.


"We have recorded dozens of internet comments expressing approval for the Russian invasion and the activities of the Russian army. We are closely monitoring the online sphere and apologise for not responding to every sign in the posts," Czech police tweeted.

Comment: It's become pretty clear that the opinion of the attorney is not representative of the government nor the people as a whole. For example President Zaman has repeatedly spoken out against the West's anti-Russian agenda for many years now, and has instead called for reason and debate, and, in a likely attempt to silence him, some senators threatened him with a high treason lawsuit. Now it seems that these same people are now going for Czech citizens:

All the things the 'West' has been accused of, the Russians (Soviets) did it first.

History shows that the Russian empire annexed independent territories that we know today as Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia etc, to form what later became known as the Soviet Union.

Let me remind you the last time the Russian Empire lost a war was the Crimean War, (October 1853–February 1856), a war fought mainly on the Crimean Peninsula between the Russians and the British, French, and Ottoman Turkish, with support from January 1855 by the army of Sardinia-Piedmont.

Since this era, the Russian empire has seized to exist. The Soviet Union was not Russian per se. It was Zionist Bolshevik(jew) who used Russia losing that Crimean war as a pretext to change the regime in Moscow. (Bolshevik Revolution).

Bolshevik Russia, later renamed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was the world's first Marxist state. Born Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov in 1870, Lenin was drawn to the revolutionary.

By this era, it's no longer Russia but a Zionist entity. When the Bolshevik flank finally got defeated, then the Anglozionist NATO began. Stop watching western news. Too many lies, half-baked truth. The history is there. Russia today is back to the good old days of the Russian empire. They don't invade but defend. And yes, they are defending the people of Donbas and Lugansk since those people refused the 2014 regime change in Ukraine. They are being bombed and shelled for 8 years.

Territories like Ukraine had always been independent before the Russians came & that they would go on to share cultural similarities is because of what is called ideological Assimilation.

After the cold War, the then Soviet Union actually went against the Yalta conference agreement to halt further expansion & even had military interventions in countries like Czechkoslovakia, Hungary, Afghanistan,
Poland & other countries.

It also contributed to regime changes/conflicts in countries like Angola, Ethiopia, Iraq, Moldova etc.

It also occupies territories such as South ossetia, crimera & some parts of Ukraine & some other territories belonging to Georgia & other areas...

So, Russians are not saints & this Invasion of Russia was not needed. Progressively tougher economic, social, diplomatic & political sanctions would have been the first line deterrents...

Everything you have written above here is mixed, you don't even get your info right. Read again what I wrote above, Russia became a free state again after the fall of the Soviet Union 30 years ago. It's not a Russian thing again to invade but Zionist ideology. The combined interest of the Zionist empire.

DaveHarry:
Why won't the West introduce one in Ukraine?
Nato forces engaging with Russian aircraft or equipment risks a rapid escalation.
"You don't just say 'that's a no-fly zone'. You have to enforce a no-fly zone," former US air force general Philip Breedlove told Foreign Policy magazine.

Lies from AFP, a zionist media propaganda of France.
For the west to declare a No-fly zone over the existing one in Ukraine. It will have to hack into the codes of the current one and change it to be able to declare its No-fly zone. These codes often change by the minute or seconds. The reason the west cannot declare a no-fly zone at this moment in Ukraine.

What else can they do, they can fire missiles from Poland or any country that allows it. This is what Israel has been doing in Syria since its f-16 jet was shut down by Syrian Panstir. They have been using the Lebanese airspace to fire missiles into the Syrian airspace.

If they try this with Ukraine, Russia will declare a no-fly zone over that country and it will mean more war. And more war means, first of all destroying all the air-defense system of such a country like Russia first did using CLUB missiles.

The reality of Ukraine’s situation is that the Russians are acting with prudence. To understand the reason for the war in Ukraine; read a statement by E. Wayne Merry, an employee at the US Embassy in Moscow during the 1990s.

“We’ve created a webshop open to theft on a national level and capital flight, in terms of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the rape of natural resources and industries on a scale that I doubt has ever occurred in human history.”

In addition to the owners of the Military-Industrial Complex; US Mighty invested billions of dollars in Ukraine (Biden, father and son stories) bribing Ukrainian oligarchs and neo/former Nazis, and giving them support to remove the legally elected president.-

This particularly has happened several times. The last time was when M.K.O Abiola was killed by the CIA(A full-blown regime change and interim were installed for the second time). A huge sum of money was paid to many traitors to keep quiet.

After what you are reading, Ukraine has lost its compass in the civilized world.

The current war is not about defending Ukraine and its citizen it is about the US interest. ( The same thing as we speak in Nigeria. The current ISWAP war is about defending the vested interest of the anglo Saxon, anglo America, and the Zionist empire. A repetition of Berlin conference, invade, divide, conquer, and rule strategy. Unlike the Berlin conference where they openly publicly invaded, they are allowing their Jihadist proxies ISWAP to do the dirty job.)

Plus their baby Boko Haram, like Sowore Revolution ideology and the suppressed Biafra. Does anybody wonder why Adeyinka Grandson was arrested and jailed but their favourite baby boko haram puppet Nnamdi Kanu enjoyed its British passport while on the territory of Britan?

What would be the purpose of the Military-Industrial Complex and its NATO if they didn’t invent enemies like the Russian Federation and China?

The US is nothing but evil. Pure and simple. Nothing good about this murderous mafia. Anything. And I can safely include the UK in that assessment and the Zionists. The war drums are beating – this has now become a game of who will wink first. The Russians are in control of the situation.

Another striking resemblance: Who remembers Awolowo's famous statement - Nigeria “is a mere geographical expression” Awolowo the wise did not complete the sentence. I would like to help him complete it by saying Nigeria is a mere geographical area in the eyes of the empire that created it for its selfish interest.

This is the same case obviously with Ukraine from the history of the Austro-Hungary empire. Ukraine is nothing more than a geographical expression since the fall of the Austro-Hungary empire. In the case of Nigeria (Since the fall of the Oyo Empire)

Do you see the striking resemblance?

This Kiev tower was indeed attacked today.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said the tower was used by SBU Counter-intelligence & the 72nd Center for Information and PsyOps, armed by NATO.

So it was a legitimate military target.

The west is not smart at all. Banning Russia from using a SWIFT payment system that is already outdated since the inception of Bitcoins is counterproductive. Russia may be the next country to completely sign into law, the use of Bitcoin as a digital legal tender backing to be used for international transactions. This will make a lot more countries to follow suit and at $500,000 per one BTC.

The west eventually ruins itself in the end.

CoronaVirusPro:
Which swift will they use to transfer the money in the first place?

Like Putin is drunk on vodka. He has forgotten Russia has been isolated!

USA has cut ties with Central bank! Switzerland, who does not interfere in world politics has started raining it own sanctions

Putin should know it’s over!

You can’t fight United people who share common goals

Did you see the price of Bitcoin today? West is not smart. SWIFT is outdated since BTC is already doing the job perfectly. Let's see how BTC will skyrocket in the coming days. I would advice Germany to also ban Russia completely from SWIFT. BTC may hit $500,000 per one.

First, a hodgepodge sample of the kind of recent news: (sorry for the chaotic presentation, I am going this all under time pressure)

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) wants to sanction a Russian chess player for supporting the Russian intervention in the Ukraine. Hey, losers! This won’t help you! If you remove the Russians, the Chinese and Indians will still take all the titles from you :-P

The Scala in Milan has dropped the Russian conductor Gergiev because he “failed to condemn” the Russian military operation. Bravo Italy! Bravo!

EUFA/FIFA have banned all Russian clubs sine die.


The battle for Russia House is over. That can, I suppose, count as a Nazi victory over Russia. Bravo!

Russia House, a restaurant and dining lounge, in DC has been vandalized. I guess a few local Nazis had their own, private, mini-Kristallnacht.
That will show ’em Snow Niggers who’s boss! Bravo!


The EU has closed most of its airspace to Russian carriers.

Russia has closed her entire airspace of carriers from 36 countries.

The Ukies are doing two things at the same time: they are blowing up bridges and explaining that they have defeated the Russian attack and are now counter-attacking on all fronts (Note: blowing up bridges is not what a winning force does).

You know what else the Ukronazis are doing? Distributing huge amounts of weapons to anybody willing to pick them up. Question: is that “tactic” known as something the winning sides does? Exactly…

And, finally, Ze has said that anybody in jail who is willing to pick up arms will be freed and armed. As a result, gangs of looters are shooting each other in Kiev and other cities. Question: is that “tactic” known as something the winning sides does? Exactly…

At the same time, a Ukrainian delegation and a Russian one met in Belarus. They are still talking, but I don’t expect anything to come out of this, at least not in the early stages of these negotiations.

Still, apparently the two delegations have agreed to “certain things” and have adjourned for the day. I have no idea what that means, but I certainly do approve of ANY negotiations as long a they do not slow down the Russian movements in the Ukraine (and the current ones do not, the Russians refused to make even a short stop).

There is also REALLY good news: the Zaparozhie nuclear plant is under Russian control. Thus, no false flag there and no false flag in Chernobyl. Good!


The big story today is the gradual closing of the operational cauldron in the East.

Now the latest map:


The big story here is the gradual closing of the operational cauldron in the East. Once it it closed, about 10-12 Ukie brigades will have to chose: surrender or die.

Next, Kiev: the city is blocked from three directions, but the Russians have left one open corridor which anybody can take to safely get out.

Mariupol: the Russians have entered the surrounded city and combats are taking place.

Kharkov: heavy combats are taking place with both sides using artillery and MLRS.

Volnovakha: surrounded but the Russians are not storming the city.

Schastie and Novaia Astrakhan: have been liberated

The Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman has declared that Russia has air supremacy over the entire Ukraine.

In the meantime, the US-NATO base in Achakkov has been totally destroyed by Russian missiles, as shown on this video:
[img]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgTAv8m6HUAkrF8tmOfgoB986knaGnC76JhHHMW_WnIDsCypjlOMzy4fzHuM3g9O_luPJa0hjsPtTgHQvR4yT9QaxwHN5rjJ3er8DEX1z7Fs8Grk8-1Q_37zPAqtJVFuNIrivWNUYfKfDluPKrhNv1PEV1n_gs3xeeLIgQZ8999-LxkcN3AbKro8IZs=w510-h341[/img]

This is crucial – it shows that US or not US, NATO or not NATO, Russia will destroy any threat to herself or to the Russian military anywhere in the Ukraine. This clear warning strongly suggest that NATO hotheads might want to think long and hard before sending in hardware or troops inside the Ukraine.[/b]

RT is under constant DDoS and their anti-DDoS protection does not work very well.

TASS in English was accessible yesterday, but not the Russian version.

RIA, Izvestia and Commersant are all under DDoS attack.

There is a real possibility that Telegram will be blocked or, at least, throttled down around the Ukraine.

Finally, and let’s be honest here, besides Andrei Martyanov’s “Reminiscence of the Future…” blog and Bernhard Horstmann’s “Moon of Alabama” – there are no news sources which I could recommend to you even though there are A LOT of websites and authors which are desperate to use the situation in the Ukraine to increase their visibility. This is especially bad considering the absolutely HUGE increase in fakes, false narratives, trolls (paid or not) and the hammering of the brains of those who still expose themselves to the western media.

So please be aware of the fact that we are definitely losing the “informational battle” so far.

Now, finally, I have a real gem for you. Remember the Russian spies which were betrayed by Poteev and eventually expelled from the USA? Yes, the one in which the entire western media focussed on the sexy Anna Chapman aka Anna Kushchenko? Well, she was amongst the LEAST interesting of the lot, except for her looks I suppose.

One of these spies, Andrei Bezrukov, now is a teacher and a member of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy. He is also often a guest of various Russian talkshows. Yesterday he made rather interesting comments and I ask our new volunteer interpreters to race with each other for a quick translation. This morning, one was already in (thanks N.!!!!!!!). Just to clarify: Andrei Bezrukov used to be an “illegal” (NO COVER) spy for the PGU/SVR, and he is superbly educated (I read his writings and listen to his interviews, he is truly a world-class specialist of the West). Listen to what he (and people like him) are saying nowadays:

Transcript of Andrei Bezrukov’s comments on Russian TV yesterday: (emphasis added by me)

I cannot forget several things…which I would just like to mention
Firstly, I want to state the fact that the West succeeded in dragging us into this war
No matter how we tried to resist this, so, this is their tactical victory.
They succeed in colliding two brotherly nations against one another
From this we can draw the following conclusion – now we have been practically forced, especially after the latest packet of sanctions, into a position where we have no other choice but to totally restructure our economy, financial system, and in essence our domestic policy.
De facto, war has been declared against us

War…I don’t want to say that. Who am I to use such terms?
Nonetheless, we have been put before the fact – our very survival is at risk.
Here we have both danger and a gigantic opportunity
The point is, by tactically winning and by successfully quarrelling us with the Ukrainian people, and war, naturally is the ultimate level of quarrel, they have not understood that now, by doing so, they have totally destroyed the very system which they had built in the world.
It is not visible yet, but in a few months, it will become apparent that the severed financial chains, broken ideological messages and the broken security system –
I agree – this is the breakdown of the security system.

Allow me a question:
Given such sanctions, does it make sense for us to stop with Ukraine?
Of course, not! Of course, not.

I want to go further…
Two short messages which shows the mentality which we should consider.
We are being intimidated and, in fact, many are now afraid that for decades Russia will be disconnected from everything, will become impoverished, she will lose all her friends, etc. etc. etc.

We’ve been through this before. The young Soviet Republic was encircled and even worse off. Then everyone formed diplomatic relations and it all normalized…This does not last long…
But I’m not talking about this

Thing is, western people, and especially Anglo-Saxons – all their thinking is based on the concept of “the rational man”…their entire legal system is based on this concept of “the rational man”…All their strategic solutions are built on the concept of “the rational man”.
What does this mean? When you are put before a choice: “Look, we will punish you. You don’t want to be punished, right? Then you must behave in a way to avoid this punishment”… and so on… “If you are threatened with sanctions, you won’t like that, will you? You will do something to avoid it… you will come and negotiate on our terms.”

This principle of “the rational man” is in effect now. They think this way even now: “We will push Russia to the limit and she will surrender”. But, for Russian mentality, Slavic mentality, Orthodox mentality, Eastern mentality …

True, they have all been shouting Russia invaded Ukraine since 2014. They can see the difference. Russia has invaded finally to defend the people of Donbas.
The whole airspace of Ukraine is locked. Locked; meaning any Pilot that tries to fly, has a Russian gun pointed right on his head and could be shut down within minutes.
