The Russian population has handed to the Kremlin total carte blanche to exercise brutal, maximum punishment – whatever and wherever and against whomever the journey takes.

“What was the main reason for this [Crocus terrorism] attack? Using Muslim (Tajikistan) people to kill scores of Russians and then flee to Ukraine. The classic MI6 scheme (UK) has been used for centuries to sow discord between usually brotherly people. The Russians would now be expected to hate all immigrants from the Central Asian “Stans” and even more hatred against the Ukrainians, to finally start killing Ukrainian civilians.

An overreaction by the Russians was the goal. To start killing civilians and to provoke a more aggressive Russian offensive, which would claim thousands of Russians more than necessary.”

Ain’t gonna happen. Russians will focus on the customer and completing the Victory in the larger war. Specific individuals involved throughout the chain should buy hefty life insurances for the benefit of their families…

💠 @Intel Slava Z:
🇷🇺 Putin about the third world war.

  1. Russia has no intention of fighting NATO;
  2. Falsifications about a possible attack on Poland, the Baltic states and the Czech Republic are a way to deceive the population of these countries;
  3. Russia will destroy F-16s in Ukraine in the same way as it destroys Western tanks and other equipment;
  4. If F-16s are used against the Russian Armed Forces from airfields in third countries, then these airfields will become a legitimate target for the Russian Federation

💠 West not acting out of love for Ukrainians – Borrell”
The conflict is about preserving the US’ role in the world, the EU’s top diplomat has said
You have to love Jungle Borrell. He speaks quiet parts out loud. Most helpful!

🔹EU, West supporting Ukraine based on its own interests, Borrell

The European Union is supporting Ukraine based on its own interests rather than out of love for the Ukrainian people, top EU diplomat Josep Borrell told CNN.

“We cannot afford for Russia to win this war. Otherwise, US and European interests will be damaged. It’s not a matter of generosity alone; it’s not a matter of support for Ukraine because we love the Ukrainian people. It is in our own interests, and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player, the one who has to be perceived as a reliable partner and a security provider to the allies. This is why we call on the US to open and approve the supplementary budget,” he pointed out.

Borrell added that the EU was making every possible effort “to support Ukraine more and quicker.”

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova referred to what Borrell said. “It is the first time ever that a representative of the Western regime has told the truth about what is happening,” the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel.

💠 Russian MFA:

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

Josep Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: “We cannot afford Russia win this war. Otherwise, the US and European interests will be very damaged. It’s not a matter of generosity alone. It’s not a matter of supporting Ukraine because we love Ukrainian people. It’s in our own interests, and it’s also in the interests of the US as a global player – someone who has to be perceived as a reliable partner, a security provider to the allies.”

💬 Maria Zakharova: This is the first time that a representative of the Western regimes has been so explicit about the nature of current developments. It’s not about love for the Ukrainians, whom the West has practically wiped out. It’s about the United States being eager to maintain its hegemony and preserve its diminishing role in international affairs. There is hardly any trace left of the former constructive approach of the US towards international relations. The liberal democrats can only bring ruin, seeing this skill as a guarantee of domination. As for the EU, its task at this stage is to obediently fetch the ammunition bought with the money of its own citizens, whose opinion has not been asked.

⭕ Vladimir Putin launches initiative to create a ranking of universities in BRICS countries

🎓 The Russian president has entrusted this task to the Russian Rectors’ Union, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Russian Academy of Education, which are to prepare their proposals by April 15, according to the Kremlin website.

The bodies will have to send them to the organizing committee responsible for overseeing Russia’s BRICS presidency in 2024.

The rector of Moscow State University had already indicated in February that the members of the group were interested in such a ranking. He added that the necessary methodology was being worked out. President Putin, for his part, welcomed the idea.

This is extremely important. Just before she died, Borrell complained to Madeleine Albright that China (and non-western powers) were reconfiguring international standards. These contrived (western elevated) metrics, such as GDP, help maintain the global fiction of western “superiority” eventhough overtaken in any objective analysis. All scales and standards in all fields need to be honestly and objectively reclassified, and within the multipolar world that cares for such integrity. Without ability to dominate through military supremacy or weaponized dollar system, the Global Majority can resume functioning according to Reality.

Following the grudging abstention by the USA in yesterday’s United Nations Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire (albeit for two weeks), this was the messianic jewish response:


💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
Israeli FM Cohen: The State of Israel will continue fighting until the safe return of the hostages and the eradication of Hamas. Any ceasefire proposal lacking these stipulations serves as fodder for terrorist organizations around the world, inevitably bringing terrorism to the West.
[a helpful threat tacked on to the refusal too]

💠@DDGeopolitics:
Lee: Do you expect Israel is going to announce a ceasefire?
Miller: I do not
Lee: What’s the point of the UN? |video|

💠@Sputnik Africa:
⭕ ❗Israel refuses to stop fighting in the Gaza Strip despite Security Council resolution calling for ceasefire
🔸The IDF will continue its operation until all the hostages are released, the Israeli foreign minister said.
🔸The death toll in Gaza Strip stands has climbed to over 32,000 after the start of Israel’s operation in the enclave, according to the local authorities. The campaign was launched as a response to an unprecedented Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
[the real toll was said by many analysts to be 40-50,000 killed before the new year… the problem is the conservative listing of daily statistics, which still has not factored in 10-20k+ still buried in rubble… Also the daily statistics list merely those killed directly the prior day. Not the thousands who succumbed to wound infections, malnutrition, lack on meds for chronic disease, blooming epidemics, etc etc..]

⭕ ❗The defendants in the Crocus terrorist attack provided detailed testimony about the instigators and those who assisted in its preparation, Russian Investigative Committee head Bastrykin said.

⭕ Key points from Putin’s speech at the meeting on the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall:
🔸The Russian Armed Forces are holding the initiative along the entire front, the “counteroffensive” of the Ukrainian troops has failed, Kiev is trying to get money for itself, and those who support the Kiev regime do not want to be accomplices in terror, but there are a lot of questions.
🔸Those supporting Kiev regime do not want to be accomplices to terror, but there are many questions, Vladimir Putin said.
🔸We need to answer the question why the terrorists tried to go to Ukraine after committing a crime in the Crocus City Hall, who was waiting for them there?
🔸A new ‘Hitler Youth’ is being created in Ukraine.
🔸Putin called the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been fighting Russia since 2014 at the hands of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.
🔸Through various channels, the United States is trying to convince everyone that there is allegedly no trace of Kiev in the bloody terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall, that it was ISIS.
🔸We know who committed the attack in Crocus City Hall, we are interested who the ordering customer is.


💠@worldpravda:
From now on, Russia will mention NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia at every session of the UN Security Council, said Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky.

After France blocked the UN Security Council session on the 25th anniversary of the bombing, there will no longer be “any business as usual in the Security Council”, Polyansky added.

“This is a very serious moment – in fact, at the instigation of France, one member of the Security Council was denied the right to convene a meeting. By such an action, our Western colleagues seriously deceived themselves. Instead of holding a peaceful meeting where they would mutter theses about ‘Russian propaganda’, now before every meeting of the Security Council, until we agree on how to avoid a similar situation in the future, NATO aggression will be mentioned in front of the cameras, which will also be included in the minutes of all upcoming meetings,”
stressed Polyansky.

We joke, especially of the French, and plainly their leaders could give Charlie Chaplin a run for top billing, but the seriousness of what is underway in Europe is awesome to behold. One firm deliberate step is taken after another, designed to ever widen the War. No Nazi Empire has ever gone gently into the night. Peskov made it quasi official today, admitting the obvious; Russia is at War with the combined West.

Should we open a dedicated Open Thread for those playing closest attention? Most interesting will be the coalescing and fracturing alliances, especially Hungary, Turkey, Slovakia, Austria; how will they respond? Are they important, outside of Turkey? The Chaos-managers seek to spread to the Heartland of our world the same conflagration which afflicts the Rimlands during the past decades…

UNSC calls for ‘immediate’ Gaza ceasefire

Let’s see how the satanists find a way to flaunt the will of the UNSC. This is quite likely, to apply the coup-de-grace to the dead Old Order; the humiliation ritual of the UN System and to demonstrate impotence of the combined West and other permanent members too. Note the USA merely abstained..

December 4, 2023. General Stooge, a.k.a. Milley, lays down the road map, explained in person by Nuland in Kiev in late January.

💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ Main world events by the morning of March 25:
🔸The Cranes campaign took place in Moscow and other Russian cities: A projection in memory of those killed in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall appeared on buildings and media screens;
🔸The number of people injured in the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall has reached 182, the Ministry of Health of Moscow region reported. The death toll in the attack stands at 137, the Russian Investigative Committee said;

🔸Military servicemen guarding the state border of Russia, who showed bravery during the apprehension of the suspected terrorists in the Bryansk region, have received state and departmental awards;
🔸Russia’s air defense systems have intercepted 11 Ukrainian drones over the territory of the Rostov region at night; [As with striking Yemen, they don’t care about the futility. The Last Satanic Empire seeks to drive psychological terror and sense of siege. See Milley above. And tries to convince itself it remains virile and capable of power projection even as it bleeds out]
🔸The Russian Aerospace Forces have launched a group attack on energy and military-industrial complex facilities in Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry reported;
🔸The head of the US Border Patrol has called the situation at the border a threat to national security. The number of detained migrants has been gradually approaching 1 million since the beginning of the fiscal year 2024; [who’s a greater threat — migrants or the political head of the US Border Patrol?]
🔸The United States and Japan are planning the biggest update of a security treaty in more than 60 years to confront China and the DPRK, the Financial Times newspaper reported.

⭕ ❗No coherent version of the terrorist attack at Crocus has yet been voiced; information from law enforcement agencies should be expected, the Kremlin says
More statements by Kremlin spokesman Peskov:
🔸Russian special services are working on the terrorist attack in Crocus independently, there is no help from other countries;
🔸There are no contacts with Western countries in connection with the investigation of the terrorist attack in Crocus;
🔸The fight against terrorism requires international cooperation, which is currently not being carried out to any extent due to a period of extreme aggravation.

⭕ 🇷🇺 Crocus City Hall terrorist attack was a “false flag” operation, Sputnik’s parent company editor-in-chief says
“A monstrous, brutal and unthinkable ‘false flag’ operation has taken place. It was carried out by someone with someone else’s hands,” said Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya media group.

⭕ Shadows and Ashes: The Crocus City Hall Massacre and the Covert War’s Phantom Menace ISIS, Cui Bono?
🔸US and Ukraine’s rapid denials post-Crocus City Hall massacre are extremely revealing.
🔸Was ISIS’s claim a smokescreen for the real culprits?  We remember CIA’s brainchild Operation Timber Sycamore. Facing humiliating defeat on the battlefield the US needs to escalate. Cui bono?  👇👇👇

“The Kingdom of Heaven to all those innocently killed!

We will avenge everyone. And everyone involved, regardless of country of origin and status, is now our legal and main goal.

Wait, bastards.”


💠Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

💬 White House National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson: “ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack [in Krasnogorsk]. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever.”

Why haven’t they solved the assassination of their own president, John Fitzgerald Kenndy, so quickly? They have been trying to find the real assassin for 60 years. Maybe ISIS bears responsibility for his assassination too? Or will they waste another 60 years playing at “constructive uncertainty”?

Now, look at the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. According to the United States – The New York Times has cited comments by US officials – Ukrainians were involved in that crime. However, US authorities later went down “beneath the surface” and are still looking for Kiev or ISIS divers there. Washington has not uttered a word of encouragement to the Danish or Swedish authorities to keep looking for the culprits, and the Anglo-Saxons have blocked Russia’s proposal to the Security Council to launch an international investigation under the UN umbrella.

Taken together, this shows that the US political elites have become skilled in diverting attention from high-profile crimes and launching false flag operations over the past decades.

In short, anything said in Washington to whitewash Kiev before the end of the investigation into the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall should be regarded as incriminating evidence, considering that liberal US Democrats have been financing the terrorist gang in Kiev and the Biden family has been involved in corruption schemes for years.

🔸”Hundreds of Latvian residents who share the pain of our people continue to bring flowers and oil lamps to the walls of the Embassy in Riga as a sign of support for Russia and the families of the victims of the tragic events in the Moscow Region … Latvian police forbid caring citizens to approach the diplomatic mission building to honor the memory of the victims of the horrific terrorist attack,” the Russian embassy said.
🔸The makeshift memorial was set up across the street from the embassy, among the items put on display “by Latvian nationalists and Russophobes,” the embassy said.
🔸It added that Latvian officials had neither condemned the terrorist attack nor offered condolences to the families of the victims, which “suggests that Riga is well aware of who is behind this bloodshed and endorses terror against the civilian population” of Russia.

⭕ Russian air defense shot down 19 vampire rockets over Belgorod region, defense ministry states
🔸”On March 23, at about 23:00 Moscow time [20:00 GMT], an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation using the Czech RM-70 Vampire [MLRS] multiple launch rocket system was prevented.

⭕ “Joy for Ukrainian authorities”: Malian activist on terrorist attack near Moscow

Friday’s terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall is a “heinous crime” that should not remain unpunished, Abdoulaye Diallo, the communications officer of the Collective for the rebuilding of Mali, told Sputnik Africa, adding that these tragic events are pleasing the Ukrainian authorities.

“First of all, I would like to express my condolences to the Russian people, to the families of the victims who died in this horror,” he stressed. “This criminal act, which took place in Russia, is also a source of joy for the Ukrainian authorities, who want to harm Russia at all costs.”

According to the activist, if other people do harm to Russia, “even if the order does not come from them [the Ukrainian authorities], they will be ready to welcome these people.”

As for the perpetrators of the bloody crime, Diallo said he “cannot put the responsibility on the Daesh*.” “If we put the responsibility for this attack on Daesh*, it will exonerate the real perpetrators,” he added.

⭕ Crocus City Hall terrorists were recruited through Ukrainian embassy in Tajikistan, military expert says
🔸A few weeks before the terrorist attack near Moscow, the Ukrainian diplomatic mission published information on its social media about inviting foreigners to join the so-called “International Legion,” military expert, ex-special service officer, retired Colonel Bakhtiyer Rakhmonov, told Sputnik.
🔸Eleven people were detained in connection with the Friday attack, including four who were directly involved, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said.
🔸FSB added that after the terrorist attack, the criminals intended to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine through relevant contacts in Ukraine.

⭕ Western bloc interested in terrorist attack on Moscow, Burkinabe expert says
🔸The fact that the perpetrators of Friday’s terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow tried to flee to Ukraine indicates that the clients of the terrorist attack are Western countries, Bayala Lianhoué Imhotep, a political analyst from Burkina Faso, told Sputnik Africa.
🔸”The direction taken by the terrorists is indicative of the possible sponsors behind this act,” he said. “The direction towards Ukraine clearly shows that this is a hostile attack by the Western international coalition.”
🔸The expert added that “whoever is interested in these disastrous and extremely serious attacks is naturally the Western bloc.”
🔸As for the possible involvement of Daesh*, “it’s clearly questionable whether they’re not serving Western interests,” he said. “I clearly believe that it’s just a kind of veneer we’re trying to put on the Western responsibility for this slaughter, and Daesh is playing the fool in order to take the blame off the West and NATO,” the analyst concluded.

⭕ 🇧🇯🇷🇺 “Daesh’s method is not necessarily the one used at Crocus City Hall,” Beninese analyst says
🔸Despite Daesh’s* claim of responsibility for the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, located just outside Moscow to the northwest, questions remain, Modeste Dossou, Beninese columnist and analyst told Sputnik Africa.
🔸 “Are these really the methods of Daesh? We’ve never seen Daesh carry out an attack and exfiltrate so quickly. They often carry out suicide attacks. They detonate bombs or shoot and stay there until the troops come to arrest or neutralize them,” he explained.

⭕ 🇨🇮🇷🇺 “False path”: Ivorian activist on alleged Daesh trail in terrorist attack near Moscow
🔸 The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall on Friday is a “desperate act” that could show the “shadow of people from the NATO bloc,” Sylvain Takoué, the general director of the Vladimir Putin International Prize, told Sputnik Africa.
🔸 “Making people believe that Daesh* is claiming responsibility for this attack effectively clears the way for the real sponsors, while this is not Daesh’s procedure,” he argued.
🔸 The fact that the perpetrators fled towards Ukraine could indicate a desire to return to “their rear base” with the aim of “rendering account to their sponsors,” Takoué added.
🔸 On the other hand, it could be a “simulation plan” to “make it look like the attack was sponsored by Ukraine.” “On this point, too, eyes are turning to those who could have been the real sponsors, in this case Russia’s adversaries, those in the NATO bloc,” he elaborated.

💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the White House’s reaction to the terrorist attack in Moscow:

“The White House said it saw no indication that Ukraine or Ukrainians were involved in the terrorist attack in Moscow.

On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions about anyone’s innocence in the midst of a tragedy? If the United States has or had reliable information in this regard, then it must be immediately transferred to the Russian side.

And if there is no such data, then the White House has no right to issue indulgences to anyone.

All those involved, as stated by the Russian leadership, will be identified by the competent authorities.”
⭕ Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on television that Friday’s terrorist attack in Moscow is similar to the modus operandi of one world power, but not the United States, without naming the country in question.
🔸“On March 7, the US Embassy in the Russian Federation called on its citizens not to go shopping in shopping centers and concert halls. This means that their intelligence services intercepted certain conversations and knew that this would happen… There is one world power, not America, whose this is the way to act,” Vucic said on TV Prva and added that he expects an escalation of hostilities in Ukraine and an approaching conflict at the global level.
🔸Earlier, the President of Serbia expressed condolences to the leadership and people of Russia on television in connection with the terrorist attack in Moscow. He also confirmed that he had convened a meeting of the Serbian National Security Council on Saturday in light of the tragedy in Crocus City.

⚡🇷🇺🇺🇦 Abdulkhakim Shishani, by which name he has been known for the last few years.

In the photo, he is in the border zone near the Belgorod region, during the attack that took place a few days ago.

This “man” is not just ordinary Barmaley, but one of the leaders of the Idlib gangs, which included fugitive militants from the CIS.

This “man” has been in Ukraine for a long time and is the link between the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and the radical rabble he commanded in Syria.

Let us note that the gang of this animal was directly connected with major terrorist organizations, as well as with the so-called “moderate” groups financed by the United States and Britain.

Attempts to pretend that Ukraine has nothing to do with these freaks have failed completely.

Now let’s bring together a few facts: could terrorists from Crocus break through to this Abdulhakim (who in turn is supervised by Ukrainian intelligence, and those by US intelligence?)

A rapid phase change is underway since VVP’s reelection. A new official Drang eastwards is unrolled by the Usual Suspects; Russia alters the tone and language of confrontation, and purposefully degrades the UkroNazi grid. The US in panic asks the local nazis to stop targeting Russian refineries as it boosts global oil prices, inconvenient prior to the US elections. The Democrats need to be within plausible deniable polling reach of Trump to steal the next election too!

Good God, this was a major event. Muscovites, largely living in a bubble, with many visitors such as Pepe noting the disconnected from the SMO and even reality as in the West, will have to get serious.

💠@Dmitry Medvedev:

“In fact, for the good of the matter, it would be nice if the restless French sent a couple of regiments to Banderland. It is very problematic to hide such a number of military personnel, and, therefore, the issue of their systematic destruction will not be the most difficult, but extremely important task.

But what a benefit it would be!
With so many coffins that will be delivered to France from a foreign, distant country, it is impossible to hide the mass death of professional military personnel. Moreover, here you can no longer ignore the references to the fact that, supposedly, mercenaries themselves choose their fate and dispose of the right to life. These unfortunates will become full-fledged combatants as part of the intervention contingent. Their destruction will be the priority and glorious task of our Armed Forces.

But for the roosters from the French leadership, this will be tantamount to the guillotine. They will be cut into pieces by angry relatives and evil representatives of the opposition, who were told that France is not at war with Russia. And for other restless idiots in Europe there will be a good lesson.

And again the immortal lines of Pushkin will become relevant:

So send it to us, Vitii,
His embittered sons:
There is a place for them in the fields of Russia,
Among the coffins alien to them.”

🔸She added, “I think we, as humanity, need to look at ourselves in horror and dismay and to be really worried that we have set an example.”

💠 @Africa Intel: The announcement by the Niger military junta that the United States will withdraw its troops from the country has generated considerable confusion in Washington.
🔸1,000 US troops are in Niger, 700 of them at the Agadez air base in the center of the country.
There, the US army usually has two electromagnetic intelligence aircraft, two maneuver helicopters and a dozen MQ 9 Reaper drones that allow them to have a view of the entire Sahel and, in particular, of Libya, which is the access route to the Mediterranean.
🔸For this reason, the US is looking for a plan B, possibly with France to create Franco-American bases in West Africa.
🔸The most logical destination is Chad due to its proximity and because the French army still has a presence there. Other options could be Mauritania, Morocco or northern Benin.
[The latter three are also “safe areas” of the Anglo-Zionist gardeners, not dystopian playgrounds like the rest of Africa. All three similarly have easy access to the Atlantic, forming a beachhead through which to assault the interior “jungle.” Methinks these shenanigans are coming to a head. All such Piratical aircraft carriers will be given a demarche — reform and stop serving the global enemy or else]

💠 @ Dmitry_Medvedev:

The rhetoric of Western idiots is striking in its inconsistency. No matter the performance, no matter the day, it’s a gem. You won’t understand whether it’s childish immaturity, mature stupidity, or extreme impudence.

[childish immaturity:] Here the main paddling pool is frightening with the landing of the French in Crimea (that is, in Russia), but he vows to immediately answer Vladimir Putin if he calls. What a consistent and courageous man!

[mature stupidity:] The sausage makers went further: we will no longer, they say, consider V. Putin as President, but we will negotiate with him. The question then is, who is he to them if he doesn’t have the necessary legitimacy? And what is the price for such negotiations?

And all this is due to shameful weakness. We cannot influence the elections, we do not recognize the results, but in order to somehow spoil things, we must make a stupid statement.

[extreme impudence:] The officials of Pindostan [USA] are even more impudent. They are openly and without hesitation waging a hybrid war against us. They use everything in it: huge supplies of weapons to the enemy, sending their own military specialists, and the work of intelligence forces. And then they say out of the blue: we want the resumption of the strategic dialogue on armaments. No really. This is the same as negotiating with Hitler about lowering the threshold of offensive weapons during the Great Patriotic War.

And so in everything! Endless fidgeting with your butt on the chair, cosmic lies, strained snot and theatrical tears for the sake of imitation of good intentions. But in reality – lies and manipulations to maintain one’s own power.

Indeed, freaks.

🔸🪖 Military: Russia will build on its current successes in the “technological race” with the West, according to Alexey Leonkov, a Russian military analyst. “The victory of President Putin is a determining factor given that under him [Russia] has built a [technological] chain that starts with research and development work and ends with the delivery of modern weapons and military equipment to the Russian Armed Forces,” he tells Sputnik.
🔸🌏 Foreign Policy: Russia will continue to pursue its goals without compromising its interests, according to HSE University professor Dmitry Evstafiev. “Russia is taking on the role of a leader in creating a space of geo-economic security in the event of the collapse of the US-centric global economy,” he explained. “The US-centric economy may soon enter a very deep crisis, which has already begun to take shape. Therefore, Russia will create such a security space in order, first of all, to protect itself.”

⭕ After Putin has been re-elected Russian president, the priority of national foreign policy in the next six years will the country’s very intense activity in the post-Soviet space and Eurasia, Dmitry Evstafiev, political scientist and HSE University professor, tells Sputnik.
He adds that other priorities may include:
🔸Dialog with the West, above all with the United States, not on Ukraine, but on a wide range of security issues related to Europe and beyond. Prof. Evstafiev, however, notes that “The West sees as a problem that Russia is not the one they want. As soon as the West realizes that it’s not about Russia, but about the inadequacy of their perception of the modern world, there will be grounds for talking with the West seriously.”
🔸Dialog with the Global South to continue a relevant foreign policy line that was defined earlier;
🔸Creating a new space of geo-economic security in case of the collapse of the American-centered global economy based on the US dollar. It might include new payment systems or conducting non-dollar mutual settlements with Russia’s leading role in it.
“Putin is not the kind of person who makes sharp U-turns. He makes gradual decisive changes. Everyone understands the scale of his changes three years after they were committed,” Evstafiev concludes.

⭕ ❗The turnout in the presidential election broke a record in the history of contemporary Russia: more than 87.1 million Russians, or 77.44% of voters, came to the polling stations, according to the head of the Central Election Commission

⭕ ❗The polls were marked by a number of DDoS attacks 150 times higher than usual, according to the head of the Electoral Commission
🔸Since the start of vote, more than 420,000 attacks on remote electronic voting resources have been blocked.
🔸“The West was united as never before,” Ella Pamfilova noted regarding the attacks.

⭕ Fact check: Addressing Western claims about Russian presidential election. Western media outlets and politicians rushed to dispute the integrity of the 2024 Russian presidential election within moments of Putin’s landslide victory. Let’s review the facts of how the election actually proceeded:
🔻 Sputnik spoke with dozens of international observers who monitored voting at poll stations across Russia, none of whom reported seeing any violations. In total, more than one thousand international observers from 129 countries, including Western ones, took part in this year’s election.
🔻 Video cameras were installed at every polling stations, allowing independent observers to monitor the vote counting process in real time and flag any potential violations.
🔻 The election results were consistent with pre-election polling, including from opposition-leaning sociological institutes.
🔻 Russian were provided with a wide range of options for casting their vote – either from the privacy of their home online or at a polling station with paper ballots and sealed boxes.

Putin’s 87% of the vote is admittedly unheard of in the West. For comparison, US President Joe Biden has a 37% approval rating, French President Emmanuel Macron’s rating is at 33%, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stands at 21%, while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has a mere 17% approval rating. However, these abysmal numbers do not mean that Western “democracy” is somehow freer and fairer than Russia’s. On the contrary, they suggest that that the Russian government has a greater popular mandate to govern than its Western counterparts do.

African state scraps military ties with US

Niger has denounced “with immediate effect” a defense pact that allows Washington to operate its $100 million drone base

💠 @Intel Slava Z:
⭕ Over the night and morning, the Kiev regime tried 35 times to attack Russian targets using UAVs, all drones were destroyed – Russian Ministry of Defense
🔸Over the Moscow region, 4 UAVs were destroyed, over Belgorod – 3, over Kaluga – 2, over Oryol – 1, over Rostov – 1, over Yaroslavl – 4, over Kursk – 3, over the Krasnodar Territory – 17.

⭕ 🇰🇵🇷🇺 Comrade Kim Jong-un now drives around in a brand new Aurus limousine, which Putin gave him as a gift. |video|

⭕ 🇷🇺🇫🇷 After yet another French army was destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces, Macron continued his hysteria and is now threatening the direct participation of the French Armed Forces in ground operations against the Russian army in Ukraine. The destruction of French regulars and mercenaries in Kharkov and Odessa became a clearer illustration of Russia’s refusal to respond to French “red lines” than just verbal exercises about them.


💠@Sputnik Africa:
⭕ 🇷🇺🌍 What is share of Russian ruble in settlements with African countries?
🔸The share of the ruble in settlements with African countries more than doubled from 2022 to 2023, according to released data from the Russian Central Bank.
🔸The data also showed that the share of unfriendly countries’ currencies in trade with Africa has more than halved, while that of friendly countries almost tripled.

⭕ 🇫🇷🌍 Paris is reportedly considering a joint use of its military bases in Africa with Western countries
🔸“Merging bases with American or other allies is desirable if we want to reduce our visibility while maintaining the necessary presence,” Chief of the Defense Staff Thierry Burkhard, as cited by the AFP news agency.
🔸According to him, the visibility of French bases located in the capitals “has become difficult to manage,” the AFP reported.
🔸“No doubt: we will have to change our presence plan to reduce our vulnerability. If we can do this with allies, it’s even better,” he was quoted as saying.
🔸The commander-in-chief reportedly noted that the creation of such joint bases depends on the consent of the allies. Burkhard also stressed that the size reduction of the French military contingent should not have “a noticeable impact on its effectiveness.”

what will the Exceptional Delusionals do when no western bases exist outside of the West?? How then to Plunder on the cheap?

💠Unnoticed in the brouhaha over Macron, the elections, drone swarms into Russia, and other topics..

1⃣ Scholz of Germany started the financial implosion of the combined West, of openly looting Russian forex, thereby causing other sane civilizations to flee a compromised “western haven”… EU to use Russian assets to buy arms for Ukraine – Scholz

2⃣ the Latvian sock-puppet is asked to urge British conscription. This appears in the cards for most Eurocrazies, their last measure of spite as they circle the drain. The issue is they lack the time, means, and war forges. 404 will long have been lost.. and no SMO will be needed outside 404 — just belts of fire, sufficient to end civilization, if they so desire
EU state urges UK to introduce conscription

AVDEEVKA.
Total devastation. FPVs swirling in the sky. Loud booms – incoming and mostly outgoing.


AVDEEVKA.
The miraculously survived Church of Mary Magdalen.


ELECTION DAY TWO.

🔸Straight outta liberated Avdeevka.
🔸Right in front of the flags of the batallions which took part in the liberation.
🔸NOTHING prepares us for the total devastation ahead.
🔸I’ve never seen anything like it – even in Iraq.
🔸Those nullities, Liver Sausage, Petit Roi, von der Lugen, should be brought here to see what Total War is all about.
🔸Loud booms still ringing – incoming and outgoing. We had to take cover from FPVs. Remaining residents refuse to leave.
🔸And the ones who did VOTED in nearby Yasinovata – or in an improvised warehouse in Avdeevka itself.

💠 @Strategika51: 
⭕ The three musketeers of the 21st century want to go to war in the Urals. The United States is rubbing its hands. Washington has killed three birds with one stone. Europe will always be sacrificed. Historical determinism or fate? A bit of both. When you never learn your lesson, the worst happens again.
⭕ A hundred Hezbollah rockets landed on wind farms in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
This is Lebanese Hezbollah’s small contribution to the energy transition.
⭕ We’re heading straight for the first nuclear war. It will be the first and not the last, because there will certainly be a second nuclear war. All the locks on nuclear deterrence have been broken.


💠 @Sputnik Africa: 
⭕ Statements from the weekly Russian MoD report:
🔸Kiev lost two Patriot missile system combat vehicles, a launch unit of the S-300, one MiG-29, and two Mi-8 helicopters in just one week, the Ministry of Defense reports

🔸The enemy was unsuccessful in any of the directions and retreated with heavy losses;
🔸Russian air defense repels up to 95% of Ukrainian attacks;
🔸Through its attacks, the Kiev regime aims to disturb the voting process and intimidate people in the border regions;
🔸The enemy is attempting to divert attention from the real situation on the line of contact by carrying out provocations;
🔸Enemy strikes on Russian territory do not and will not remain unpunished.

⭕ 🇷🇺 BRICS can eventually switch to digital currencies-based payment system, Russia’s US envoy says

“As part of the BRICS framework, work is being done to develop the Contingent Reserve Arrangement mechanism. As regards the use of monetary units alternative to the US dollar, we could talk in the future about an independent, depoliticized payment system that would be based on the latest technologies, such as digital currencies and blockchain,” Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov told Sputnik.

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law authorizing the use of digital financial assets in international settlements meaning that digital financial assets, digital rights of use, and digital rights that include these two instruments can now be used as a means of payment for imports and exports.

💠 @Strategika51:  According to gathered intel, elements of the 2nd #REI (Régiment Étranger d’Infanterie) from #Nîmes [France] have been deployed to a waiting zone in #Romania and their mission is to take part in joint and clandestine operations with the British and Germans to “protect” #Odessa .

⭕ Emmanuelle’s Escalation Porn: Macron Will Send “Guys to Odessa”
French outlet Le Monde says the president blurted out, “In any case, in the coming year, I’m going to have to send guys to Odessa,” in front of a handful of guests.

⭕ 🇫🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦 Macron said he would send the French military to Odessa this year – Le Monde.
🔹According to the publication, the French President made this statement on February 21 at a closed conversation at the Elysee Palace.
🔹 “In any case, in the coming year I will have to send some guys to Odessa,” Le Monde quotes Macron as saying.
🔹Five days after this incident, Macron publicly announced the possibility of sending troops from France to Ukraine.
🔹According to the publication, French authorities have been considering the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine since at least June 2023, when this issue was raised at a meeting of the French National Defense and Security Council.

Frenchie is a glutton for punishment. They’ve already forgotten what happened to them at Azovstal! And this stupidity and insistence over ODESSA — the quintessential Russian city. And there won’t be an exchange or white flags permitted this time. Terminal lunacy


⭕ Maria Zakharova: “Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina said that an “iron curtain” would be created between Russia and the Baltic states.
Will there be enough iron, or will they buy it from Russia?”


💠@Sputnik Africa:
🇳🇪 Niger’s leader General Abdourahamane Tiani refused to meet a US delegation coming for talks. After waiting for three days, the delegation including US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Molly Phee, a Pentagon official and the commander in chief of AFRICOM (the US military command for Africa), left empty-handed, according to the French media.
☝☝ If this isn’t a metric of global prestige collapse, I do not know what is


💠Russian БaZa [ZOV]:
A badge from a dead Frenchman [in Novorossiya]. Without the Internet, there were a lot of versions of what this means.

Someone said that this was a badge of some French mercenaries. Or the foreign legion.

But the life-giving Internet put everything in its place. This is the badge of the 13th Parachute Dragons. Special reconnaissance unit of the French army.

The regiment belongs to the French Army Special Forces Command and the Special Operations Command. The killed man wore the badge proudly and wasn’t even trying to conceal it.

This means we are on the threshold of global events.

💠🖋 “To the Slanderers of Russia”
…is a patriotic poem by Alexander Pushkin, published in 1831.

🔹The poem is addressed to the deputies of the French Chamber and to French journalists who defiantly expressed sympathy for the Polish uprising in Russia and called for armed intervention in Russian-Polish hostilities.
🔹Today, Russians from newly repatriated territories united to elegantly deliver a profound message to Macron, utilizing the masterful verse of the illustrious Pushkin by reciting his timeless poem.

“Russia must kneel and the last Palestinian must be annihilated.”

These are clearly not fruitful terms of negotiation! To preserve civilization from the holocaust that threatens them all, they must get creative. Weapons “with new physical properties?” What else?

“dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee”

It is really a pity the demented monkeys have such big grenades influencing all calculations.

The Russian T72 destroyed the Abrams tank on the first shot.
⚡At the start of the so-called ground phase of Operation #DesertStorm in February 1991, there was a tank battle along the desert axis leading from #Kuwait to the Iraqi city of #Basra (in the extreme south of Iraq), in the territory of the ancient #Sumerian civilization. During the battle, which pitted US #M1 Abrams against Iraqi #T72s, the US armored forces encountered many setbacks, and President George Bush Sr (Sr.) hastily decided to end the operation.

This forgotten episode of the #Gulf War was overshadowed by the famous retreat of Iraqi forces along the Highway of Death, an agreed withdrawal which the US side pretended to ignore, as coalition air forces rushed to bomb the retreating Iraqi columns, guns in non-combat position for hours.

In other words, both the #Abrams and the #Merkava were erected by marketing myths.

Medvedev trolls a little more. The humiliation ritual is pronounced and incessant at this point! The Empire is taken down further notches using the strategem of mockery.. when it comes to inflicting “strategic defeat”, two can play.

@ Dmitry Medvedev:

“One old man with a wandering smile on his face invited girls to have fun: the cheerful widow of a Russian extremist and the not yet widow of the leader of the Kyiv Bandera pack. Like for cultural relaxation during a performance before the nation as part of a well-rehearsed concert.

It turned out sad: the widow and not yet the widow simply did not come, because they love each other so much that they did not even want to sit next to each other for the well-known hygienic procedure.

But the coolest thing is that the grandfather didn’t notice anything. He does not remember who these wives/widows are, nor who their husbands are. He didn’t even notice that his vacation with the chicks was ruined.

However, this will not stop him from announcing to the nation tomorrow that he spent an unforgettable night in wonderful company…”

The poise and restraint of Russia is extraordinary, and most ominous for the Anglo-Americans. It indicates Russia will NOT allow herself to be distracted by barking strawmen.

using triangulation via various means, it is becoming clear the Anglo-Zionists focus on homes with children. Here is one expose, in addition to the AI algorithm story and not requiring deduction. The extraordinarily high proportion of children killed is not a byproduct. It is the goal. No children or women = no future possible for Palestinians in Palestine = end of the Resistance. The banality of evil

Scenes from Niamey, Niger, in July-August of 2023 during the successful coup

France remains hellbent to avenge its epic humiliation and eviction from “its Africa”, in large part at hands of Russia, through somehow delivering a “strategic defeat” on an unreachable Russia.. The malicious agony of the impotent has-beens.. They are intrinsically motivated, beyond any Anglo-American urging towards group suicide

💠 @Intel Slava Z: 🇫🇷🌐 ❗The Chief of the General Staff of the French Armed Forces, Thierry Burkhardt, sent a proposal to his NATO colleagues to consider the deployment of alliance troops in Ukraine, but received a negative response, Politico reports, citing information from the former US permanent representative to NATO Ivo Daalder.
Daalder clarified that this idea was voiced several weeks before French President Emmanuel Macron publicly mentioned such a possibility.

💠 @Strategika51: Info about the loss of eight Abrams M1 main battle tanks in Ukraine.

why were the British consistently among top western writers since Shakespeare?? Were they perhaps more intimately acquainted with evil, and its nuances and manifestations, than others? Note the interesting homonym “auctorial” (pronounced ‘atorial’) with “Torah!” a telling Freudian slip? Regardless, at this fin de siècle, they are in need of deep soul-searching. Sarmats are warmed up. Perhaps Galloway can install the necessary shock to the system

🇷🇺🇫🇷 “Proof of Ukraine being proxy”: ANC youth Leader on Macron’s words on sending EU troops to Ukraine

On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron said at a presser following the conference on supporting Ukraine in Paris that Western leaders had discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, but no consensus had yet been reached. However, “nothing can be ruled out,” he added.

“If the European soldiers really are sent to [Ukraine] this would prove the comments we have previously made that Ukraine was just a proxy and the real war or confrontation has always been between NATO and Russia,” Khulekani Skosana, South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) youth League Leader, told Sputnik Africa.

The youth leader added that such a move by the EU would prove that NATO expansionism has always threatened Russia, which responded by launching a special military operation.


☝☝ we believe our “Liverwurst” Reichskanzler, no? There will no “participation in the conflict” and no “EU or NATO troops in the Ukraine” just as German sovereignty was upheld regarding Nordstreams and they never sent Leopard tanks..

It is getting serious. Like their spiritual brethren the Zionists, who “take” a hospital or level a city block, retreat and assess the blowback, and return, calibrating further, ever deeper into the Mouth of Madness, with a Passion that only belongs to the worst — now, the NATO stalwarts similarly muse openly sending the same troops they’ve been sending covertly since 2013, retreat, and now … these are no longer musings among merely the Eurocrazies. The Last Babylonian Empire prepares to fight to the last westerner… Lord Raytheon let’s the cat out of the bag:


🔹Pentagon Chief:
If Ukraine Is Defeated, NATO Will Be At War With Russia | ZeroHedge

≈≈

nevermind History, the ongoing humiliations of the demented at the hands of just two Russian women is astounding!

🔹💬 Russia’s MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
I’m interested in Annalena Baerbock’s perspective on this matter. This presents a prime opportunity for German media to demonstrate its independence by asking probing questions and for Russian media to seek the opinion of the German Embassy in Moscow;
Margarita Simonyan, Editor-in-Chief of RT:

💬 Our people in uniform shared some intriguing information with me on the day when Scholz said that NATO was not and would never be involved in the Ukrainian conflict.

The information and videos are so riveting that I immediately wanted to share them with our audiences to bring them joy.
In that captivating footage, high-ranking German officers discussed the bombing (would you believe it) of the Crimean Bridge and methods to execute it discreetly so that Scholz could keep up to his talk of non-involvement.

The Bundeswehr officers have also spilled the beans about the Americans and the Brits who, they said, had been directly involved in the conflict for a long time.

In short, it’s 40 minutes of pure delight. In this connection, I have an official journalistic inquiry for the German Ambassador, the German Foreign Minister and Chancellor Scholz personally:

What does this mean, gentlemen? Should Russia jog Germany’s memory about what happened last time when Germany blew up Russian bridges?

As your media usually say, we expect an answer today.

Because nobody knows what may happen tomorrow.

💠Dmitry Medvedev:

“Regarding the conversation between Bundeswehr officers about planned attacks on our country

After all, our eternal opponents, the Germans, have again turned into sworn enemies. Look at how carefully and in what detail the Krauts discuss attacks on our territory using long-range missiles, select targets to hit and the most likely ways to cause maximum harm to our Motherland and our people. Not forgetting the use of false rhetoric about Germany’s non-participation in the conflict.
Who could have imagined this just recently?
How to respond to this diplomatically?
Don’t know…

I know one thing. You can’t say it better than a poet:
That’s what he wanted, it’s his fault,
Let his house burn, not yours,
And even if it’s not your wife,
And let him be a widow.
Let it not be yours to cry,
And his mother who gave birth,
Not yours, but his family
Let him wait in vain.
So kill at least one!
So kill him quickly!
How many times will you see him?
Kill him so many times!
(K. Simonov. Kill him! 1942)

And again the call from the times of the Great Patriotic War became relevant:
DEATH TO THE GERMAN-FASCIST OCCUPANTS!”

⭕ Putin’s Federal Assembly address: What we can expect

On February 29, Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to deliver his address to the lower and upper chamber of the country’s parliament, a speech that is expected to focus on Russia’s state of affairs and the main directions of its domestic and foreign policy.

The Russian head of state recently made it clear that during the Federal Assembly address which is scheduled to start at 9:00 GMT, he will touch upon “setting goals for the next six years”. Additionally, issues related to the ongoing Russian special military operation are expected to be discussed in the course of the upcoming address.

Previous such speeches saw Putin make an array of important statements:
🔻In the 2020 remarks, the Russian president praise his country’s steps to “strengthen national security in a timely manner,” stressing that “for the first time in the history of nuclear weapons, we are not chasing anyone; on the contrary, other countries have yet to create weapons that Russia possesses.”
🔻In the 2021 speech, Putin revealed that the first full regiment of Russia’s new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile would come online by 2022, while the Zircon hypersonic missiles would be put on alert in the near future.
🔻In the 2023 address, he, in particular, announced that Russia is suspending its participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START).
⭕ “The state’s true purpose is to help people”, Vladimir Putin said.
[Welcome to real socialism with Russian characteristics.]


🔹@Slavyangrad | Inna: During his address, Putin touched upon the SMO, highlighting:

🔻The vast experience gained by the Russian Armed Forces.
🔻Acknowledgment of existing problems within the army, coupled with a determination to address them through continuous efforts both at the frontlines and in the rear.
🔻Russia’s unwavering commitment to ending the war, eradicating Nazism, and resolving all issues related to the special operation.
🔻The proactive stance of the Russian military, making confident advancements in various directions and reclaiming new territories.
🔻The readiness of the strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation.
🔻The utilization of the Zircon sea-based hypersonic strike complex and the Kinzhal hypersonic complex in combat operations.
🔻Ongoing completion of tests for the Burevestnik cruise missile, along with the delivery of the Sarmat complex to the troops, with a forthcoming demonstration by the Russian Federation.


🔹Vladimir Putin: We invite foreign logistics companies and states to use the opportunities of the Northern Sea Route – a global transport corridor. Last year, 36 million tons of cargo passed along the Northern Sea Route – this is already five times more than the record figure from the times of the Soviet Union.

🔹@RT News:
⭕ President Putin is confident that Russia will soon become one of the four largest economies worldwide. The president noted that Russia led all G7 nations in economic growth last year, marking a shift towards a more diverse, technologically advanced, and less resource-dependent economy. Over the next six years, there are plans to raise the portion of wages in the GDP, aiming to translate economic growth into higher standards of living for the Russian population.
⭕ Russia together with its friendly states will continue to create an efficient and safe transport corridor infrastructure and build new global financial architecture, free of political agenda
[Hitting the bull’s eye: connectivity and de-dollarization. With Russia-China in the lead.]

🔹@DD Geopolitics: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has revealed that British military personnel have been sent to Ukraine as part of highly classified missions to aid Ukrainian forces in operating British Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets. Scholz has since been strongly criticised by the UK and German opposition MPs for “abuse of intelligence”, following the Chancellor’s statements.

🔹@Two Majors – English Channel:
Photos of the mass extermination of Jews by Ukrainian nationalists Bandera disappeared from the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial

Israeli blogger Margarita Levin found out that over the past two years, photographs showing how Ukrainian nationalists, together with the Nazis, exterminated Jews in Ukraine, have mysteriously disappeared from the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Complex in Jerusalem. Including Babi Yar.

Also quietly disappeared from the exhibition of the Holocaust Museum and most of the references and documents that the Ukrainian nationalists-Bandera took a direct part in the mass murder of almost one and a half million Jews living on the territory of Ukraine. And this is one in four of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Just think about it: Israel, Jerusalem, Yad Vashem, six million dead. And now the Holocaust Memorial suddenly “forgets” about Bandera’s followers, on whose hands the blood of millions of Ukrainian Jews. No words…

“Here’s a look at what the Western political panopticon has become. A sad, sometimes funny, but ominous sight.

Serial clowns, who have never worked a day in the civil service, control the actions of the troops and control the lives of millions of unfortunate people, sending them to certain death.

The parliamentary circus of freaks from the country of defeated fascism, again sitting in the Reichstag, demands that long-range missiles be sent to its neo-Nazi descendants, at the risk of getting even more long-range missiles on their heads.

The grandfathers, weakening every day, with an uncertain gait in a state of persistent dementia, with difficulty understanding who and what they are talking about, hug with cheerful whores who are in the guise of widows of deceased Russian extremists.

Western leaders make theatrical visits to Kyiv on the start date of the Northern Military District in order to distract their own electorate from the accumulated problems and once again lick the dirty boot of the American owner in a state of acute servile exaltation.

The petty heirs of Bonaparte, trying on the golden epaulettes torn off two hundred years ago, thirst for revenge on a Napoleonic scale and carry a fierce and extremely dangerous blizzard about the landing of troops of individual NATO countries in Kiev, as well as about new weapons for striking Russia.

Examples of the cadaverous decomposition of the brains of Western politicians appear every day. And therefore, the horse is pale and the rider on it is getting closer…

🔹@ Dmitry Medvedev:

People have different illnesses.
Some people have urinary incontinence. About others who are prone to rash reactions, they say “the urine went to the head.”
But the current President of France, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the French Armed Forces and Prince of Andorra, Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frederic Macron, had two problems at once: first, urine probably hit him in the head, and then speech incontinence occurred.

He stated that Europe needs the defeat of Russia for security, and therefore it should send extended-range missiles to the Nazis in Kyiv and consider the issue of sending troops of individual NATO states into the Northern Military District zone. Coupled with his recent desire to share France’s nuclear arsenal with all willing Europeans, it appears that Macron’s speech incontinence has become a lingering and painful problem. The owner of the Order of the Legion of Honor does not take care of himself. Or it’s time to change your diet: oysters and champagne are a good thing, but you’re not a boy anymore. Verbal enuresis at his age is dangerous.

— Stock market speculation;
— Contamination of Ukrainian soil by British depleted uranium shells;
— Widespread use of GMOs on Ukrainian soil;
— Destruction of grain shipments.

She pointed to a recent incident where angry farmers in Poland, a NATO member country, reportedly dumped 160 tonnes of Ukrainian cereals on a railway track. In light of these factors, Zakharova suggested that the West is ill-equipped to lecture others on food security.

— Multipolarity is not against the West, it is against the presumption of universality and exclusivity of the West;
— The Russian military operation in Donbass helped accelerate the end of the unipolar world. We have shown the whole world that we can stand up to the West;
— China is challenging Western hegemony economically, the Islamic world is challenging culturally and ideologically, Africa and Latin America are no longer Western colonies, but developing giants
— There is a battle going on between the globalist West and the traditionalist West. Ordinary Westerners are also victims of the globalist system.
🔹🌐 Western countries are opposed to the establishment of a new multipolar world because it threatens their exclusive benefits, activist says

ℹ Throughout the entire history of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR), such congresses have been held only 6 times and have been associated with significant events.

The last time such an event took place was in 2006, and as a result, it was decided to hold a referendum on the possible integration of the republic into Russia. Almost 97% of the residents of Transnistria who voted supported full integration with Russia.

At the moment, Transnistria is under strong economic and political pressure from the authorities of Moldova. Chisinau hopes to reintegrate the republic by 2030 at the latest, as stated by the Minister of Defense of Moldova, Anatol Nosaty.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 From Maria Zakharova:

💬 “The media has obtained an instruction from Secretary Blinken’s office, according to which American diplomats are advised not to use “problematic” words like “mother,” “father,” “husband,” and “wife.”

According to the guideline, addressing people as “ladies and gentlemen” is now considered “offensive” by the U.S. government. The State Department suggests replacing these words with “everyone,” “people,” “you all,” “parent,” “child,” “spouse,” and “partner.” The State Department also advises against determining a person’s gender identity solely based on appearance or name, as gender can regularly change.

Frankly speaking, addressing many American diplomats as “ladies and gentlemen,” regardless of their unstable gender identity, has seemed problematic for a long time, considering their bloody contribution to global conflicts. But addressing them as “people,” in my opinion, is something some of them still need to earn.”

Today Russia is stronger economically, It’s winning on the battlefield, defeating all Western countries in the war. This war between U.S. and NATO against Russia has become unbearable for Washington. Only a matter of time before Russia demonstrates that it is right from a historical point of view – Maduro.

Alexei Navalny died in an Arctic prison where he was serving a 19-year prison sentence. He was at this point a discredited non-entity, incapable of mustering more than 1-2% of the general vote, if that. However the timing is interesting.. with Russian elections in less than a month. Perhaps another forlorn effort to stir up internal Russian politics by the Usual Suspects…..

KEY ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MILITARY VICTORY IN ADVEEVKA

The 1st Guards Slavyansk Brigade, named after Orthodox Saint Velikiy Knyaz (Grand Prince) Vladimir, liberated a crucial military base in the south of Avdeevka.

✍ In 1721, as a result of the Great Northern War, Russia bought Estland and Livonia from Sweden. First Russia conquered them from the Swedes. And then Russia also paid 2 million (Joachimsthalers — silver coins) for the lands including present-day Estonia and part of Latvia. It was a huge amount of money. Sweden’s annual budget of the time.

In 1795 Duke Peter Biron (he is 300 years old today) abdicated the throne of Courland in favour of Russia, which had been subsidising his country for many years.

And for this he received a huge 500 thousand Russian gold coins.

So Courland (i.e. the core part of modern Latvia) also became a subject of the Empire.

So, the Russian Empire bought the whole territory of Latvia.
And has not sold it to anyone since then.

Fate of IMEC doomed amid Middle East crises – but there are alternatives

📍Amid challenges posed by the Red Sea crisis and the seemingly grim future of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) alternative corridors the Chennai-Vladivostok maritime corridor emerge as potential options for India, Dr Prabir De, an Indian professor at the Centre for Maritime Economy and Connectivity (CMEC) said.

🇷🇺 🇮🇳 The Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor boasts numerous advantages, especially in terms of securing energy resources:

🔹The corridor would significantly benefit India in sourcing crucial resources for its economy;

🔹The expansion of the Chennai-Vladivostok route holds strategic significance, particularly in light of the Red Sea Crisis, making it an integral component of India’s broader plans.
@geo_gaganauts

This was a wise move from Russia. It provides a lifeline to India, as the Red Sea, the INSTC, and even the mooted IMEC all become temporarily unavailable due to the West Asian conflagration. This provides a useful alternative, rather than India being drawn deeper into the embrace of the Old Anglo-American Order, and being forced to wage war on their side against the Resistance in order to open up its vital trade routes. The Anglo-Zionists are now denied a potent naval ally, simplifying the Resistance battles to come….

⭕ 🇸🇩 Starlink terminals used in Sudan‘s Darfur region amid internet outage, reports say

According to the media, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, which is battling the Sudanese army, had been using Starlink technology since August 2023. The satellite internet service entered the country through Chad and South Sudan when the internet went down over a week ago. [and the UAE has significant influence in Chad. It also proliferates this Five Eyes tech worldwide, including to both sides in 404]

📡 Numerous videos and images posted on social media in recent days reportedly showed RSF soldiers using Starlink technology. However, there has been no independent verification of the images.

The conflicting parties are blaming each other for the internet blackout. The RSF had to cut off the internet throughout the country after losing communication with western Darfur, the Sudanese Engineers Association was cited as saying.
[it is interesting how Eyes in the Sky of the Dastardly are coming to the fore. Countries around the world are starting to block Starlink too.. I know of Kazakhstan, CIS countries. These are means of interference of west into internal affairs of target nations. These capabilities appear on a lifeline, to be neutered soon…..]

“Another case has occurred in an African country. They come to a senior official and tell him: ‘You are expecting to receive a loan of several billion dollars. In this regard, do you need to go to Moscow and have relations with Russians at all,'” Klimov revealed, adding that he specifically did not give names so as not to aggravate the situation of these people.

⭕🇺🇸 🇸🇳 Washington fears to see Senegal shake off the West’s grip and turn to Moscow and Beijing

The White House and Brussels have done nothing to prevent the current crisis in the West African country, a French pan-Africanist of Beninese origin told Sputnik Africa.

🗣 According to Amzat Boukari-Yabara, the United States is currently trying to “identify its interests in this political conflict” in order to “put itself in charge at the level of Senegal.”

As for France, “it does not have much to offer Africa today in terms of vision, in terms of project, in terms of model,” the historian and writer said.

He thus called for a solution to the issue of Paris’ military presence in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Chad and Djibouti.

France must understand that it must withdraw from its former colonies militarily, monetarily and, in a certain way, politically and diplomatically, he concluded.
[this is huge development. Senegal was the main French “aircraft carrier” in West Africa, through which it mindwashed local regional compradores — those who did not qualify to be educated directly in France came to Senegal. Now it is in turmoil after the success of the three Sahelian Junta coups.. its Prez is friendly to Moscow and was head of African Union recently, being among a handful of Heads of State coming to Russia in 2022 in wake of SMO launch.

⭕🇳🇪 Niger’s economy has withstood sanctions and French pressure

Contrary to the predictions of French experts about the collapse of the Niger economy after the coup against pro-French President Muhammad Bazoum, the Niger economy not only will not collapse, but will become the fastest growing in Africa, starting in 2024.

According to the International Monetary Fund, Niger’s economic growth rate is expected to rise from 4.1% in 2023 to more than 11.4% in 2024, which could exceed the growth rate of all other countries on the African continent.

Seven months after the coup, Niger has not only achieved economic stability, but for the first time in its history it has been able to budget without external assistance, although the country is still under sanctions and its foreign assets frozen.

The Russian army has effectively split Avdeevka in half, severing the southern part of the city!

🔹Currently, the supply lines of the AFU in the southern sector face significant jeopardy. Reports from resources affiliated with the AFU depict a state of panic, accompanied by maps illustrating the altered situation.

🔹Prior to this development, a Ukrainian military correspondent had already reported the severance of the “Road of Life” by Russian soldiers.

🔹According to recent enemy maps, the Russian Armed Forces have seized control of the fortified positions previously held by the AFU at the motor depot and have advanced to the outskirts of Avdeevka, specifically Industrial Avenue, now pushing in both directions against the divided Ukrainian forces.

🔹Early this morning, Ukrainian analysts had noted ongoing battles in the northern part of Avdeevka, encompassing areas near the western dachas, the motor depot, along Chistyakov Street, and the 50th Anniversary AKHZ Lane.

🔹In the southern sector of Avdeevka, Russian forces persist in conducting assault operations along Sobornaya and Chernyshevsky streets, as well as in the vicinity of the Vineyards 2 gardening community.

By evening, a significant portion of these areas has reportedly fallen under the control of the Russian army.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

💬 Why is the Germany supporting Zelensky’s Nazi regime? Because descendants of Nazis are currently in power in Germany.

On May 6, 2021, at a conference of the Atlantic Council (a think tank) in Washington, D.C., German Foreign Minister Anna/Lena Baerbock said: “I come from a region around Berlin. It’s called Brandenburg. It was eastern Germany. And it has a direct border over the Oder River to Poland. And my own grandfather fought like in the winter of [1945] at this river, at this border. And I was there standing in 2004 on this bridge, which obviously was rebuilt between Poland and Germany, when Joschka Fischer as foreign minister, together with his colleague from the Polish side, was celebrating again the reunification of Europe.”

In June 2021, she provided more specific information in her first book published that same year: “At that moment [on May 1, 2004, when ten new states, including Poland, joined the EU. – Ed.], I was thinking about my grandfather, Waldemar Baerbock, who had been an officer in the Wehrmacht in a unit that repaired anti-aircraft guns and arrived to eastern Frankfurt on the Oder during the retreat in January 1945.”

Anna/Lena was not the only one to point this out. The Bunte magazine published excerpts from the Wehrmacht files of Waldemar Baerbock (1913-2016). He was noted as an ardent supporter of the Nazis. Moreover, Colonel Baerbock was an “unconditional National Socialist.” He had carefully read Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” multiple times and stood “completely rooted in National Socialism.” In 1944, he was to be awarded the War Merit Cross with Swords, a high honour by the Nazis for “special merits in operations under enemy weapon effects or for special merits in military warfare.”

The German Foreign Ministry rushed to defend Anna/Lena, who was still admiring her Nazi grandfather. It promptly issued a press release saying that the Foreign Minister was not familiar with the documents in question.

Now, a few days later, Baerbock has continued to keep silence. But Bild has published a list of prominent persons, who have come to her rescue with confessions about the Nazi past of their forebears:

🔹Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt Reiner Haseloff said his father had been a Wehrmacht serviceman taken prisoner in northern France in 1944. His mother fled from Silesia at the age of 14;
🔹Footballer Lothar Matthaus said one of his grandfathers had been a Wehrmacht soldier and perished during the war, while the other grandfather fled from Silesia after the war;
🔹Lawyer Gerhard Rahn admitted that his father’s parents had been NSDAP members;
🔹Actor Francis Fulton-Smith went on record as saying that his grandfather had been a Wehrmacht officer, who had been taken prisoner in Ukraine in 1944;
🔹Politician Dorothee Bär said her grandfather had been a Wehrmacht officer, who had been taken prisoner in North Italy;
🔹Historian Stefan Bauberger said that many “German veterans” had refused to discuss their past even with their families until the 1990s.

Serving as a backdrop to all this is yet another re-edition of Adolf Hitler’s legacy in Germany.

The striking theme on the main imperial war fronts — the Ukraine (404), the homefront and throughout West Asia, is deepening and accelerating collapse. The long Ukie front is being rolled back by the steady Russians, with resultant bickering and infighting among the nazi gauleiters in Kiev reaching new lows every day. Cookies Nuland failed to bring discipline in her most recent trip; she appears to have prevented a coup against the Comedian for now. In West Asia, the Anglo-Zionists drive resolutely towards a larger conflagration — saying one thing (“we want peace, don’t expand war against us”) whilst bombing every Resistance member except Iran!

MEDVEDEV IN BORN TO BE WILD MODE

“Western politicians who have shit their pants and their mediocre generals in NATO have once again decided to scare us. They launched the largest military exercises since the Cold War.

These involve 90,000 soldiers from 31 countries of the Alliance and ‘almost block’ Sweden, about 50 warships, 80 aircraft, 1,100 ground combat vehicles, including 133 tanks.

Some stages are expected to take place in the most blatantly Russophobic and most disgusting countries to us, such as Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, that is, in close proximity to Russia’s borders.

The NATO blabbers were afraid to directly say who these exercises are aimed against, and limited themselves to empty chatter about ‘practicing defense plans and deterring potential aggression from the nearest opponents’.

But it is quite obvious that this convulsion of flabby Western muscles is a warning to our country. It’s like they’re saying, shouldn’t we properly threaten Russia and show the Russian hedgehog a fat transgender European ass.

It turned out not scary, but very significant.

After all, if the Alliance itself decided to conduct exercises of this level, it means they are really afraid of something.

And even more so, they do not believe not only in victory but in any military successes of the rotten neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. Plus, of course, they are working out the anti-Russian agenda for domestic political purposes, consolidating their dissatisfied electorate.

Overall this is a very dangerous game with fire.

Significant forces have been assembled. And exercises of this scale have not been conducted since the last century. So they are a well-forgotten old thing.

We are not going to attack any country in this bloc. All reasonable people in the West understand this. But if they play too hard and encroach on the integrity of our country, they will instantly receive an adequate response.

This will mean only one thing – a big war, from which NATO will no longer turn away.

The same thing will happen if any NATO country begins to provide its airfields to Bandera’s supporters or quarters its troops with neo-Nazis. They will certainly become a legitimate target for our Armed Forces and will be mercilessly destroyed as enemies.

All those wearing helmets with NATO symbols, who today swaggeringly rattle their weapons not far from our borders should remember this”.

The Anglo-Zionists have started the expected bombing in “Syraq” (Syria-Iraq). Largely symbolic for now, but they’ve killed Syrian army troops and Iraqi militias. US bases were immediate retaliated against, even while the B-1 bombers were airborn. There is neither fear nor respect.

As Prof Marandi explains eloquently — all this is being done to buttress sinking zionism, failing in Gaza and everywhere else except in western halls of power, yet hellbent to expand on their eschatological project of “Erez Israel.” The combined West is naked. So we can expect this cycle to ever escalate up the escalation ladder as in 404, but much faster, since conventional means are being exhausted, and the grip on local bases most tenuous indeed. For example, the B1 bombers flown from so far away in Britain and the US mainland, are in a futile attempt to prevent their local bases from being counter-struck if they use those GCC bases to launch attacks. Eventually they will need to use those bases, easily tracked by radar/ISR, which will bring retaliation..

Interesting comments after israel’s response to the ICJ

South Africa’s Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola, says Israel failed to respond to the genocide case and it seems unable to condemn the practices of its soldiers.

South Africa’s legal team: If Israel was right, it would have allowed international investigation teams to enter Gaza.

During the hearing today at the ICJ court, the Israeli legal team claims that the Israeli army hasn’t bombed any hospitals in Gaza.

Israeli legal defense team at the International Court of Justice in The Hague: “Israel did not prevent the entry of aid to Gaza, and Egypt is fully responsible for the Rafah crossing; it could have allowed aid in from the first day.”  (it is always the other guy’s fault – sure israel did not bomb hospitals and ambulances )

Lets waste some time for israel. Let’s dissemble whole affair – should Germany open this and court agrees, the rest of the worl will follow and in 12years or so +-, the case will still continue. The court did sa ‘a single oral representation’. “Germany rejects South Africa’s allegation against Israel and to speak for Israel at the ICJ. Germany’s spokesperson, Steffen Hebestreit, states: “We firmly reject the accusation of genocide made against Israel. It has no basis whatsoever. We will, therefore, speak as a third party in the main hearing before the International Court of Justice.”


Kremlin condemns ‘illegal’ Western attacks in Yemen

https://www.rt.com/news/590525-kremlin-yemen-strikes-illegal/

On the situation in Yemen:

– The US and UK launched strikes on Yemen. The Houthis fired rockets in response.

– The attacks by Washington and London were aimed at 12 targets in Yemen and were carried out by Tomahawk missiles

– According to the Pentagon, 100 naval and air missiles were fired at Yemen. There were 20 airstrikes in total, after which the attacks stopped

– The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain are involved in providing logistical, intelligence and other forms of support to the aggressor

– Washington has finished striking Yemen’s Houthi positions, but the United States “reserves the right to respond if threats continue”

– The Houthis confirm that they will continue their anti-Israeli operations in the Red Sea no matter what

– Democrats criticized Biden for not receiving congressional approval for the operation. Republican Senator Rand Paul also said that Biden is again acting without a constitutional mandate. Congressmen Divided In Opinions Joe himself condemned Trump’s decision to strike Iran four years ago. + Let me remind you that there is a “War Powers Act” that appeared after Vietnam

– The Houthis claim that they sank the first American ship with its crew. There are no confirming photos or videos yet. The Americans deny everything.

– Russia has requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council for Friday in connection with the strikes by the United States and its allies on Yemen


israel is improving and upgrading aaaalllll of the human needs in Gaza. They are so kind. So far I don’t think I can listen any longer to the lies.  A Point in law – israel is so good and so kind and so attentive to the needs of the Gazans, that there is no need for provisional measures because israel has been so good and facilitated so many humanitarian actions – in some previous case this court accepted a similar argument. Israel is as pure as the driven snow – so how is it most of Gaza lies in ruins? It is all Hamas!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6CEKVSjg7o

Arguing against the ICJ issuing provisional measures to halt attacks on Gaza, Israel’s legal team says, “The scope and intensity” of Israel’s operations have already been decreasing and claims that Israel’s repeated pledges to observe international law are enough to make provisional measures.

The one thing that stands out is that the israeli tactics do not change – first invoke the holocaust and then paint itself as the perpetual victim and then attack the other guy who, no doubt, is guilty :

“Honorable court, on October 7, thousands of Hamas terrorists broke into Israel in the middle of a holiday, what the citizens of Israel experienced was murder, biggest murder of Jews since the Holocaust

In light of the Holocaust, it is not surprising that Israel immediately signed the Convention against Genocide. For some of us, the phrase “never again” may be a slogan, but not for Israel. Israel needs to defend itself both before the International Court of Justice and against the war imposed on it by Hamas

As in any war, the citizens suffer and it’s terrible.   South Africa in its approach to the tribunal denies the legitimacy of Israel’s existence for 75 years – Becker.”

Don’t say these things about us! says israel.  It will tarnish their reputation.  Up to now, it seems as if they have not realized that there is no ‘reputation’ remaining.

Israel’s legal team says that South Africa’s request that the court order Israel to preserve evidence of potential crimes has no basis, and “no proof was offered that Israel was destroying evidence in Gaza.”

Such an order would be an “unprincipled and unnecessary tarnishing of reputation”, they added.


Jan 11 – I am not sure if this news is valid or hot air

British media claim that the US and Britain will attack Yemen in the coming hours and will bomb the country.
Ansar Allah continue their mobilization methodically. Iran stated that an attack on Yemen would be a significant mistake for the US.
It is expected that U.S. President Joe Biden will make a statement in the coming hours, and the American reconnaissance aircraft RC-135W is already flying towards Yemen.

Update from various Yemen sources – The American-British aggression on Yemen targeted the airport in the Abs District and the Taiz Airport in the Taiziyah District. We will continue our operations in the Red Sea until the end of the aggression on Gaza. If Washington and London expand the battle, we will strike their bases in the region.

Yes, there are western strikes on Yemen – Military sources in Yemen reporting the declaration of a state of alert throughout the country. Ansar Allah declared that if Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar allow their airspace for an attack on Yemen, these countries will be considered at war with Yemen.

Following Iran, Syria also declared full support for the actions of Yemen.

Warplanes have entered Yemen’s air defense identification zone.

The whole world is truly watching! The South African case so far is very thorough and calls out the genocide as a genocide – exactly what it is. The attorney speaking now stated that israel has no defence. One is – genocide is not defensible under any circumstances.


Jan 11

Dutch election winner Geert Wilders tweets “100% support for Israel” in response to an article claiming the Jewish state’s reputation is at stake on genocide charges in The Hague.

Israel will get nowhere with this attitude against the darlings of the world, in terms of the belief that racism was defeated there. “Israel accuses South Africa of being the “legal arm” of Hamas”, AFP reports.

Lets continue with the list

The Arab League announces support for South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the ICJ.

Iran has voiced its support for South Africa’s decision to file a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over crimes of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, stating that the Tel Aviv regime has committed a raft of crimes against Gazans in flagrant violation of international conventions.

The Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has called for Israeli leaders to be prosecuted for the regime’s crimes against the besieged Gaza Strip

San Francisco voted yesterday 8-3 in support of a ceasefire resolution, becoming the largest city in the US to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement issued by the Colombian government, it stated that it hopes that, after the hearings, the Court will rule without delay on the request for urgent provisional measures requested by South Africa and adopt decisions that will allow the bloodbath in Gaza and the occupied territories to cease.

…more than 1,400 Finnish music industry professionals have signed a petition urging a ban on Israel from Eurovision over war crimes in Gaza.

The UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) is biased and dominated by the Western colonial powers.

South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide is very strong, but the sad reality is politics drives ICJ rulings, not facts.

The ICJ has 15 judges from these countries:
🇺🇲 US…

— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) January 10, 2024

Ben adds: “Given their geopolitical orientation and UN votes, it is essentially guaranteed that the US, Germany, France, Australia, India, Japan, and Slovakia will vote against South Africa’s ICJ case, or abstain.

This means all 8 other members would have to vote for it, which is unlikely.”

I question India as a start and perhaps one or two more.  Take a look at what Belgium says a little further down.

Ecuador is in chaos being taken over by drug cartels.  Thanks to “free market capitalism” & pro-US puppet leaders, this small South American country is being destroyed.  Homicide rate has grown staggering sixfold since 2017, when US puppet Moreno took office. This guy also betrayed Julian Assange, who was in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

Peru sheepishly had to confess because they cannot do otherwise, that the weapons used by the cartels came in through Peru. If you remember I reported on the Peru coup. https://globalsouth.co/2023/01/20/perus-us-backed-coup/ https://globalsouth.co/2023/01/14/peru/ https://globalsouth.co/2022/12/15/peru-the-cia-coup/

(At this stage endorsement seem to be the correct word and they are now streaming in!)

This is the week.  On the 11th and 12th Israel will be in the dock at the Hague at the ICJ.  Many parts of our world are sending groups to view first hand.  Israel is not happy and they are spitting like a bunch of writhing snakes in a hole.  With US support, they’ve always been able to avoid any consequences of their actions.  Just the fact of hauling them in front of a court shames them because God gave them the land is their false belief and nobody may criticize them and they are of course the victims.


Jan 9 – This is important

China has been working for years to finalize this code of conduct.  If there is progress it would be a very positive move for the South China Sea.

Indonesia is ready to work with countries to finalize South China Sea code.

Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said her country is ready to work with other Southeast Asian nations to finalize a long-delayed code of conduct for the South China Sea, where many of its neighbors have overlapping claims with China.

“On South China Sea, Indonesia is ready to work together with all ASEAN member states including the Philippines to finalize the Code of Conduct as soon as possible,” Retno said at a joint press conference with Filipino counterpart Enrique Manalo in Manila, ahead of a visit by Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China have for years been trying to create a framework to negotiate a code of conduct, a plan dating as far back as 2002. However, progress has been slow despite commitments by all parties to advance and expedite the process.  The main sticking point has been the Philippines.

Jan 3 (From Pepe Escobar)

The genocidals are now totally out of control.

Killing women and children is the way of cowards.

As their army continues to be humiliated in Gaza.

Enter a deadly provocation against Hezbollah.

Plus a deadly provocation against Iran.

Blowback is a given.

Asymmetrical and surgical.

Hamas announced a freeze on ceasefire negotiations with Israel after the faction’s deputy chief, Saleh al-Arouri, was killed on Tuesday evening in an Israeli attack in Lebanon.

“We have informed the brothers in Qatar and Egypt of the freezing of negotiations,” the source said on condition of anonymity. So far, Qatar and Egypt have been mediating a ceasefire.

Hamas rejected any talks about reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip amid escalated Israeli aggression and “assassination schemes” against Palestinian leaders.

Several aides of Al-Arouri, deputy head of the Hamas politburo, were also killed in the Israeli attack targeting a Hamas office in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

2 explosions, 10 minutes apart, hit Soleimani’s cemetery.  Iran says it was a terrorist attack. 103 dead, 188 injured. This terrorist act will be met with a strong and decisive response from the security and military apparatus in the shortest possible time – Iranian interior minister

https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/01/03/717528/terror-attack-in-Iran-Kerman-leave-at-least-20-dead

The West is desperate to kick up a regional war and the more it can involve Iran, the happier the US lawmakers will be.  The complete area is experiencing an uptick of contempt, mocking, and sheer fakery in information.  These people want a war.

It’s no coincidence that on the anniversary of his assassination, Israel also kills a Hamas leader in Beirut + an Iranian officer in Syria last week.

Israel is playing with fire to hide its failures in Gaza.

Biden administration sanctions Niger, Gabon, CAR and Uganda by kicking them out of African Growth and Opportunity act, bring back Mauritania into the folds.

I was waiting for this which I believe is an opportunity for the countries that were stuck to the Growth and Opportunity Act.  It is time we understand clearly with no doubt that these mechanisms are control mechanisms.  There is very little ‘good’ there.

Belgorod is again under missile attack.  The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 2 Tochka-U missiles and 7 Vilkha MLRS missiles were shot down.


Jan 2

Just a few hours ago, Israeli troops conducted a targeted airstrike on the Beirut suburb of Ad-Dahiya. The objective of the attack was to eliminate the deputy head of the Hamas Politburo, Saleh al-Arouri.  Along with him, six other individuals lost their lives. According to some Palestinian sources, the leader of Hamas’ military wing in South Lebanon, Abu Amer, may also have been among the casualties. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.

Hezbollah’s reaction is unpredictable, especially given the recent increase in attacks in the south of Lebanon. Hassan Nasrallah, has a scheduled speech tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Iranian commander-in-chief Qasem Soleimani. Therefore, in the Middle East, it is reasonable to anticipate increased activity.  We shall see.

Jan 2 – Russia is cleaning up!  OK, there is the retaliation for the Belgorod and Donbass strikes but the cleanup is clear to see. 

Putin said it clearly:  “Russia will not retaliate in kind to Kiev’s actions, despite being capable of doing so, Putin stressed. “Of course, we can, we are capable of carpet-bombing Kiev and any other [Ukrainian] city,” the president noted.

Instead, Russia will continue targeting Ukrainian military assets and infrastructure, Putin said, warning that the number of such strikes is bound to grow. The Ukrainian authorities’ terrorist activities will not be left unanswered, he stressed.

Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation

(2 January 2024)

Part I (see Part II (https://t.me/mod_russia_en/11708))

▫ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered a group strike with high-precision long-range weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles on enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine that carried out orders for the production of missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and repair of weapons and military hardware in Kiev and its suburbs, as well as storage sites for missiles, ammunition, and aircraft weapons supplied to the Kiev regime by Western countries. The purpose of the strike has been achieved. All the targets have been engaged.

In addition to the group strikes, the denazification cleanup :

Two sites associated with WW2-era Nazis – hailed in present-day Ukraine as national heroes – were damaged in the western city of Lviv overnight on January 1st. A major explosion entirely destroyed the house-museum dedicated to Roman Shukhevich. An early leader within the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Shukhevich participated in terrorist activities and assassinations when Lviv was part of Poland during the interwar years.  He went on to serve with the Nazi SS and later on led the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which has been accused of extensive ethnic cleansing targeting the region’s Jewish and Polish populations. He died in 1950 during a shootout with Soviet counterintelligence.

The main building of the Lviv National Agrarian University was also damaged overnight; an explosion blew off its roof and set the historic structure on fire. The university is known as the alma-mater of Stepan Bandera, another Ukrainian nationalist leader and WW2-era Nazi collaborator who is commemorated with a statue in front of the now-damaged building.

On a possible US-UK-EU Assault on Yemen

The US via Saudi Arabia already waged war on Yemen for years, including aerial bombardments and a ground invasion, both of which failed.

The US (and the UK) were heavily involved, choosing targets, shipping additional arms to Saudi Arabia, carrying out maintenance on Saudi weapons including warplanes, and even providing special forces on the ground.

The US, UK, and EU launching a military operation against Yemen now will unfold in a very similar manner, and expend weapons the US requires for its proxy war in Ukraine and its expanding military aggression in Asia-Pacific.


Le refus de Poutine de serrer la main de l’ambassadeur britannique suscite des réactions hostiles, par Topwar

Par : Rédaction

Poutine réserverait -il des traitements différents selon ses interlocuteurs étrangers afin de souligner ses préférences diplomatiques ? On se souvient de cette longue table au bout de laquelle Macron était piteusement installé … Cette fois-ci, Poutine a délibérément refusé de serrer la main de l’ambassadeur britannique. A-t-il eu tort ?

Royaume-Uni : bataille judiciaire engagée autour du vaccin AstraZeneca

Le vaccin Oxford-AstraZeneca est au cœur d’une contestation judiciaire devant la Haute Cour de Londres, à cause de possibles effets secondaires, dont une thrombocytopénie et une thrombose immunitaires. D’après le rapport du média britannique « The Daily Telegraph », le plaignant, un père de famille nommé Jamie Scott a failli mourir après avoir reçu le vaccin covid d’AstraZeneca.

En 2021, la question de l’efficacité du vaccin AstraZeneca (AZ) a toujours été posée, avant même son autorisation de mise sur le marché en Europe. Une erreur de dosage lors des essais avait semé le doute. Après son déploiement, le vaccin AstraZeneca a été suspendu dans plusieurs pays, après la survenue de plusieurs cas mortels de thrombo-embolie, présentés malheureusement statistiquement comme négligeables par les autorités sanitaires. Au Royaume-Uni, quelques jours après avoir reçu leur vaccin, des patients seraient décédés. Aujourd’hui les familles des victimes du vaccin AstraZeneca portent plainte. Selon la presse anglaise, Jamie Scott aurait subi une hémorragie au cerveau suite à sa vaccination. Les avocats de la famille ont déclaré que le vaccin était « défectueux » et que les informations sur l’efficacité et l’innocuité du produit étaient « trompeuses ». Ils réclament des dommages et intérêts. De son côté, AstraZeneca a souligné que la sécurité des patients reste sa priorité, pourtant les victimes du vaccin s’interrogent de la responsabilité de l’État et des fabricants avec ces cas de complications graves.
