Daily Chronicles … OT March 15

Where shall we begin with the madness unfolding throughout the West??
Pl use as Open Thread.

Putin is wailing with the votes. Over 80 percent counted and he hits it at 87.15 percent. Voting percentage looks low though -just over 50%

March 17

Macron:

“we kindly ask Russia to ceasefire during the Olympics from which we forbid them to attend officially. The Integrity and shared humanity of Sports must be observed as during the Ancient Traditions!”

💠”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..

1️⃣ 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“

2️⃣ 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“

March 16

The Old Boy is hard core! Like “Big George” Foreman comin’ back at 50! Going into the Mouth of Madness itself. All that would beat this is to observe the Slouch into Bethlehem….

GOING TO AVDEEVKA
Minefield laid out by the Ukrainians in a RESIDENTIAL area.

GOING TO AVDEEVKA.

ENTERING AVDEEVKA.
The flags of the batallions who took part in the liberation.

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.
🔸More pics on my Telegram and Twitter. Major column coming early next week.

💠 @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:

🔸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 .
We are sure Shoigu is hiding under the bed, lol!

March 15

Today begins the three-day Russian Presidential elections — a foregone conclusion, and welcomed as such by the Global South.

💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕ 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.
