This drone is down!  “The Hormuz 900 drone, which was attacking our people and villages, was shot down.”  https://t.me/alakhbar_news/16071

From what I can glean, this was a very advanced drone and of course, very costly.  There were short reports of people in jubilation when it became clear that this drone is down!  Information is spewing out about this drone.  It is the second time Hezbollah brought a Hermes 900 this year, with another destroyed over southern Lebanon on April 6 and the cost of it is anything between 5 and 6 million US dollars.

Footage captures the moment when Hezbollah successfully targeted and shot down Israel’s advanced Hermes 900 drone over Lebanon.

The Russian Armed Forces have struck Ukrainian energy facilities that support the military-industrial complex with high-precision weapons. The strike was carried out in response to the Kiev regime’s attempts to damage Russian energy and transport facilities. In addition, the strike hit the location of a group of technical specialists who were developing flight missions for attack drones.

❗️The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) lost up to 660 militants as a result of successful combat operations by the Russian Battlegroup Yug.

🇷🇺🪖 More statements from the Russian Defense Ministry’s daily briefing on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine:

◻️ The Russian Armed Forces hit the UAF’s western weapons storage arsenals.

◻️ The Russian Armed Forces struck the location of a group of technicians who were developing flight missions for Ukrainian attack UAVs.

◻️ Russian Battlegroup Sever repelled five Ukrainian counterattacks and hit HIMARS MLRSs during counter-battery operations; the UAF lost up to 240 militants.

◻️ Russian Battlegroup Tsentr repelled six Ukrainian counterattacks.

◻️ Russian air defense forces shot down 62 Ukrainian UAVs, 14 HIMARS rockets, and three ‘Hammer’ guided bombs.

◻️ The UAF lost up to 450 militants as a result of successful combat operations by the Russian Battlegroup Zapad.

◻️ The Russian Armed Forces Group Vostok took more favorable positions, resulting in the enemy losing over 120 militants.

And after this night, the Poles are trembling and complaining that those missiles come mighty close:

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇵🇱 “It was a long and busy night for the entire Polish air defense system,” the Polish army said following the missile attack in Ukraine.  The Polish military claims that aircraft, including NATO forces, took off.

“A massive long-range missile strike by the Russian Federation covered the entire territory of Ukraine, including the regions bordering Poland,” Warsaw added.

Let us remind you that six missiles struck in the Lviv region bordering Poland. Energy facilities in Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovograd, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions were also hit .

China and the Arab States had intense and important exchanges over the past number of days.  There were two joint statements, one of course dedicated to joint business.  This is what the other, the ‘Take That!’ joint statement calls for:

• Immediate ceasefire
• Implementation of measures issued by ICJ
• Admission of Palestine as UN full member state
• End to Israel’s settlement program 
• Convening of international peace conference

We need to see more of this!

• The City Council of Hamtramck near Detroit, Michigan unanimously passed (https://www.metrotimes.com/news/hamtramck-city-council-passes-resolution-demanding-boycott-divestment-of-israel-36398893) a BDS resolution on Tuesday, becoming the first US city to adopt BDS.

This decision comes after Richmond, California voted to divest (https://t.me/PalestineResist/37863) some zionist investments at the beginning of this month, following Hayward, California in January. However, the Hamtramck resolution targets more companies.

• “Egypt has warned it’s ready to respond militarily after Israeli troops seized a sensitive corridor of land along its border with the Gaza Strip.”

Like the rest of the world, Egypt is also horrified about Zionist Israel’s indiscriminate killing of the Palestinian Population. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/05/31/726557/Egypt-warns-military-response-Israel-buffer-zone

• Paris tells Israeli firms they are not welcome at the Eurosatory Defense and Security expo in Paris in the middle of June.  This seems to be in the region of 74 Israeli companies.

I’ll keep posting these to see if we have a definite trend here:

• 600 Moroccan academics call for severance of ties with Israeli Haifa University (https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/05/31/726570/600-Moroccan-academics-call-for-severance-of-ties-with-Israeli-Haifa-University)

Hundreds of academics in Morocco have called for severance of ties with the University of Haifa, as the Israeli military presses ahead with its bloody ground and air strikes against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

• United Left in Brazil: After the withdrawal of Brazil’s ambassador to Israel, a group of 44 artists and leaders of the Brazilian left asked President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to cut ties with Israel

“We are convinced, dear president, that it is time for our country to join the other nations that have severed diplomatic and commercial relations with the State of Israel, demanding compliance with decisions that end the genocide and guarantee the self-determination of the Palestinian people.

Brazil has consistently presented proposals for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the two-state solution established by international resolutions. Thanks to your government, we are one of the nations that recognize, within the United Nations, the sovereignty and independence of Palestine. […]

These measures, adopted by our country under your leadership, would certainly serve as an example to other governments and constitute an immense contribution to ending this unbearable slaughter.”

Three Palestinian men who were filmed voluntarily cooking food for hungry Palestinians in Gaza were killed this morning by Israeli forces.

Yemen’s Houthis on Friday launched a missile attack on the US aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Red Sea, according to a statement made on X (former Twitter) by the group’s spokesman Yahya Saree.

Saree claimed the attack came in response to US and UK strikes on the Yemeni provinces of Sanaa, Hodeidah and Taiz. The strikes allegedly targeted civilian infrastructure and resulted in the deaths of 16 people and over 40 wounded.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

On the Ukraine side: “All attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are futile, the goals of the special military operation will be achieved — Defense Minister Belousov. The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost over 35,000 troops and 2,700 pieces of equipment in May. Among the destroyed hardware, were 290 tanks and armored fighting vehicles, including four US-built Abrams tanks and seven Leopards.

On May 29, the Russian military intercepted a massive Ukrainian attack of ten ATACMS missiles targeting the Crimean Bridge — Russian Defense Minister

Andrey Belousov emphasized that the interception saved hundreds of lives.”

The danger here is that one day, and probably sooner rather than later, Russia is going to retaliate. My expectation is that the retaliation will be less than the required force for a third world war or a nuclear exchange, but will hurt. I’ve never been able to outguess the general command, so for myself, I wait with bated breath.

The NYT signals, taking it to the limit one more time! “First attacks on Russian soil using American weapons could begin within hours or days. In a major shift pressed by his advisers, President Biden authorized Ukraine to conduct limited strikes inside Russia with US-supplied weapons, opening what may very well be a new chapter in the conflict, the Times writes citing officials.
First attacks on Russian soil using American weapons could begin within hours or days. In a major shift pressed by his advisers, President Biden authorized Ukraine to conduct limited strikes inside Russia with US-supplied weapons, opening what may very well be a new chapter in the conflict, the Times writes citing officials.

This would mark the first time an American president has given the green light to military strikes within the borders of a nuclear-armed adversary – with the first attacks expected within days, or even hours.”

The threat continues. Russia has to respond – be sure that their military posture commands them to respond.

Statements from Medvedev and Lavrov added on this post:  https://sovereignista.com/2024/05/31/medvedev/

The idea came to me this morning that we have to now have a Daily Chronicles – War, and a Daily Chronicles – Life.  But let’s wait: Lavrov has now said on various occasions that China could arrange a peace conference.  It seems as if Russia is ready for this, or, on the other hand, they are only putting the words down that are necessary.

China could arrange Russia-Ukraine peace conference, Lavrov tells RIA.  China could arrange a peace conference in which Russia and Ukraine would participate, the RIA news agency cited Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying on Thursday.  Lavrov said such a move would be a continuation of Beijing’s efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

This is a major game of chicken going on here, that the Americans started and are playing to their turgid dream orgasms.  My comment is, “Make your limited nuclear war in your backyard if you are so bloodthirsty for war”.  There was this old joke that if war circumstances raised their ugly head over our world again, the US would have a new ocean passage between Mexico and Canada.

I’m reading report after report on ‘How Ukraine May Strike Russia’. Since Politico posted their peace, it is being Wurlitzered and flung all over the place, from organizations that one has never heard of. It is now a media frenzy, or they all sniffed their lines at the same time.

But what we don’t see, is How Russia May Strike Back! Oh my heavens. Its coming!

BREAKING | US-UK warplanes bomb the Yemeni capital Sanaa. US-British airstrikes in Yemen lead to multiple fatalities and injuries – they bombed the airport and the radio complex. The Yemenis are talking and basically saying .. well, if you are this desperate, bring it on. We will not abandon Gaza and the Palestinians and there are some surprises waiting for you.

Director of Al-Mayadeen Office in Yemen, Ali Al-Qahum:

– 13 raids launched by the American-British aggression against Yemen, including targeting the capital, Sana’a.

– Yemen will undoubtedly respond to the aggression, and the Americans and British will not be able to repel it, and it will certainly be a painful response.

– We said and confirm that Yemen’s operations at sea will continue until the blockade is lifted and the aggression against the Gaza Strip ends, and will not stop before that.

– Today, the Americans and the British are trying to push some countries to renew their aggression against Yemen, and we confirm that we will respond to the source of any aggression.

– Yemen will not surrender, and the Americans and the British are opening the gates of hell on themselves. We advise nearby countries not to get involved again.

This is not to say that I think Trump (and his organization) did not mess with paperwork, but I also know in the working environment that we are in, it is almost impossible not to push the envelope at times.

A new day here at Daily Chronicles and something different. They just wanted to keep Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan away from becoming the PM again. It was lawfare from top to bottom.

This case was about the only one that AHH and I differed on, black and white differing. The wonderful thing is that neither of us really cared that we differed, and we continued on with no hard feelings. That is rare in human relationships. Thanks AHH!

Israeli official calls to confront resistance ‘even if West Bank looks like Gaza’.  The resistance groups are busy and they are fighting!  So now this guy, this israeli guy is the Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.  So now, could we call him Snotrich?  Vanessa Beeley calls his threats genocidal. https://t.me/VanessaBeeley/28090

Beautiful, but why are we having our young people fight?  Yeah, I know, it is the time.   A call from the Palestinian student movement in Gaza: Time for revolutionary escalation of the global intifada

🔹🔹🔹🔹

It is turning into a civil war (if one can apply the terminology to the Zionists).

Occupation forces are conducting large-scale invasions across the West Bank where fierce clashes are taking place simultaneously in #Tubas, #Tulkarem, and #Nablus.

In Balata camp, confrontations between resistance fighters and the IOF have been ongoing for several hours now in light of the invasion of settlers of Yousef’s Tomb in Nablus.

It is reported that five bus loads of zionist settlers are being accompanied by over 30 occupation military vehicles with drones and snipers scattered across the camp.

Lindsey Graham is up and talking and showing his abject fear!  :  Speaking from Tel Aviv, US Senator Lindsey Graham pledges to do everything to sanction the ICC “because we’re next.”  “I bring this up and nobody likes hearing it but I know what my country did when we were attacked by the Japanese.”  Speaking from Tel Aviv, US Senator Lindsey Graham doubles down on a previous statement by him suggesting nuking Gaza.

(I hope you dream well Senator!  I also know that you nuked the Japanse after they had lost the war, and killed many innocents.  Sleep well Senator!)

We may be thinking we feel a moment of relief. It is not so. I have seen nothing from the ‘secretive’ UN Security Council meeting yesterday. At least from Russia side, there are a few (very few) mostly somewhat disparaging and somewhat insulting articles in RT and Sputnik. The only English news keeping up the side, is TASS. I don’t have time to check the Russian news. The Russian embassy in Israel? Pretty Cold: https://israel.mid.ru/en/press-centre/news/comment_by_the_embassy_of_russia_in_israel_290524/

From China, regular updates in their media CGTN.

This is from QUDS news and posted just a few minutes ago.

Brazil has officially recalled its ambassador to Israel and will not immediately appoint a replacement, local media reports, citing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. So I trust trade relationships must fizzle into dust. Crude Oil, Frozen Beef, Corn from Brazil to Israel. In return, fertilizers – which Russia can take over in their sleep.

The Yemenis are fighting!
Saree: Yemeni Armed Forces targeted bulk carriers LAAX, MOREA, Sealaday in Red Sea
Saree: Yemeni Armed Forces targeted US bulk carrier ALBA and US container ship Maersk Hartford in Arabian Sea.
Saree: Yemeni Armed Forces also targeted oil tanker MINERVA ANTONIA in Mediterranean Sea.

And another repeat drone bites the dust.  Saree: Yemeni Armed Forces shoot down 6th US MQ-9 Reaper drone with domestic missiles

It warms my heart! 6 Zionist linked ships and a drone —

🔹🔹🔹🔹

We will see more of this:

Protesters set ablaze the Israeli occupation’s embassy in Mexico City with Molotov cocktails in protest of the recent massacres in Rafah and elsewhere across the Gaza Strip. Mexico has also joined the ICC lawsuit, with South Africa. Take this with a little grain of salt. Now it seems it is the ICJ that Mexico joined to, and perhaps it is both. A glitch in the matrix here!

‘As we recognize Palestine, we must derecognize Israel’ – South African MP

🔹🔹🔹🔹

May 28

Spain, Norway and Ireland officially recognized Palestinian statehood on Tuesday, formalizing the decision they announced last week in a bid to pressure Israel into ending its Gaza onslaught and deepening the Israeli regime’s isolation.

We woke up this morning with the news that the Zionist entity bombed Rafah again.  “Israeli forces murder 21 displaced Palestinians in fresh airstrikes on western Rafah. Prof Marandi has more detail but somehow his tweet cannot be embedded. Here: https://x.com/s_m_marandi/status/1795474580481380739”.

No, they have not stopped.  Here is another one:  BREAKING| Israeli warplanes carry out a strike on central Rafah.

I remember from the previous ‘haircuts’ that they became unbelievably violent just before they were forced to pipe down.   But this time it is different.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Israel informed US President Joe Biden’s administration that it had used a precision munition to hit a target in Rafah in the strike that caused deaths in a camp for displaced Palestinians, but the explosion from the strike ignited a fuel tank and caused fire in the camp, CNN reported, citing a US official.

It was a mistake, cover the mirrors, rend your clothing and weep: Oy Vey Oy Vey a lot of times. This time nobody believes you.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The deployment of the West’s troops into Ukraine is an escalation and another step towards conflict in Europe and a global conflict, Putin said.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Where are US tactical nukes deployed in Europe?

Right now, an estimated 100 US tactical nuclear weapons (TNWs) – intended for use on the battlefield or for a limited strike – remain at six bases in five NATO countries in Europe and West Asia, including:

◾️ Buchel Air Base in Germany (reportedly houses 15 TNWs)

◾️ Kleine Brogel Air Basein in Belgium (15 TNWs)

◾️ Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands (15 TNWs)

◾️ Aviano & Ghedi Torre Air Bases in Italy (35 TNWs)

◾️ Incirlik Air Base in Turkiye (20 TNWs)

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) says virtually one million people have fled the southern city of Rafah in the past three weeks.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

In another hour or so, the closed-door UNSC meeting begins. I wonder if they will do anything.

White House advisor John Kirby today repeated baseless accusations about murder and rape, which have been denied by Israel itself, to justify Israel’s attack on a displacement camp in Rafah, burning alive 45 Palestinians.

Mexico goes to the polls:   On Sunday, June 2, about 98 million Mexicans are called to elect their next president, 500 legislators, 128 senators, and nine governors.
