⭕ 🇫🇷🇪🇺🇷🇺❗️ Russia “has become a threat to France and Europe” — Macron

Other statements:

• He decided to open a discussion about the use of France’s nuclear weapons to protect the entire EU
• Peace cannot be built at any cost and under Russian dictate, and it cannot be a capitulation of Ukraine
• Peace in Ukraine “may come thanks to the deployment of European forces”
• Next week, France will gather the chiefs of staff of countries ready to “guarantee future peace in Ukraine”
• Peace will return to our continent only with a “pacified Russia”
• France has the most effective army in Europe.
• Regardless of how soon peace is concluded in Ukraine, we need to recognize the “Russian threat” and arm ourselves more strongly in order to be able to fight back
• The future of Europe cannot be determined in Moscow or Washington

⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇸Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the war in Ukraine a “proxy war” between Russia and the United States that must be ended.

“This is a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, which is helping Ukraine, and Russia – and it has to end,” he said on Fox News.

Rubio criticized Ukraine and the Europeans for not having a plan to end the conflict.

“Nobody has an idea or a plan to end this. The plan of the Ukrainians so far, their allies on Capitol Hill and the people you talk to in other countries, is to just keep giving them as much as they need and as long as it takes. That’s not a strategy,” he said.
[more healthy developments. Before resolution can take place, at least the major delusions must be discarded, and a spade called a spade. From that flows subsequent terms of the Capitulation]

⭕ Maria Zakharova writes:

Macron’s speech was truly spring-like.

Now it turns out that Emmanuel has the “most powerful” army in Europe. And Zelensky says that he has it. It is very important that these two have found a common occupation in measuring.

But the most surprising thing is that the new French ambassador is going to visit us. He recently shared his thoughts on the desire to develop relations with our country. But today, his President Macron admitted that peace in Europe is not a priority for France, that they are going to “pacify” Russia, and so on.

So why is the French ambassador coming to visit us, may I wonder?

⭕ A statement from a senior Yemeni military leader in response to the U.S. classification of Ansar Allah:

• Bringing materials into Gaza is a priority for us, according to the U.S. classification decision, which has no legitimacy.
• Blocking the entry of materials to Gaza and sabotaging peace agreements is American terrorism, unlike our support for Gaza’s legitimate and faith-based project.

⭕ 🇵🇸🇾🇪🔻🔻🔻

To our courageous brothers in the Al-Qassam Brigades and all factions of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, we, from Yemen—the land of faith and wisdom—urge you with a sincere message from our hearts:

Do not yield, bow, or submit to the hollow threats of the barking dog, the illegitimate President Trump, who repeatedly demands the release of his dual-faced American-Zionist citizens. In response to these threats, we call upon you to stand firm and escalate your demands. No detainee should be released until your voice is the dominant one!

To this clown, this illegitimate son of nightclubs and seedy bars in America, we say: the era of empty threats is over! Silence yourself, for the time of frivolity has passed. We say this from the depths of Yemen, and you must understand: the hair of the smallest child in Palestine and Gaza is worth more than fifty American states.

Your threats are nothing compared to the steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance, which holds the upper hand and the strongest voice. Your hollow threats will crumble against the resilience of our people!

Stay strong, and let your resolve shine brighter than ever!

🔻Mouin Rabbani:
THREAD: After absorbing the unwelcome news Wednesday morning that their American idol, Donald Trump, is negotiating directly with Hamas, Israel flunkies became positively ecstatic when the US president later that day issued an apocalyptic and indeed genocidal threat against “the People of Gaza”: If Hamas does not immediately, and presumably unconditionally, release all the remaining captives in the Gaza Strip along with the corpses it holds, “you are DEAD”. What are we to make of these very contradictory developments?

🔻Mouin Rabbani: To its credit, the Trump administration has ventured where its Democratic predecessor never contemplated going: negotiating with not only its Israeli proxy but also its Palestinian adversary in order to achieve an agreement.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: Speaking to all parties involved in a dispute is of course standard diplomatic practice, particularly where resolution of a crisis that has consumed tens of thousands of lives is concerned. Palestine has been one of the rare exceptions to this template. Washington for decades refused to negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) until it jumped through a succession of increasingly narrow hoops, and in fact recognized the PLO only after Israel did so in 1993.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: With Hamas the situation is even more complicated. Not only Israel but the US government have for decades denounced, censored, and condemned anyone proposing direct negotiations with the Palestinian movement. Since October 2023, the Hasbara Symphony Orchestra under its longstanding conductor, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has demonized anyone advocating what in any other context would be considered common sense as the devil incarnate.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: Given that such voices are also to be found within the Trump administration – the ornament serving as Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and others – the decision to engage with Hamas in order to secure US interests in the Middle East was not an instinctive one for this White House. It would therefore be foolish not to give credit where it is due. It appears that the US preferred to conduct these discussions below the radar, but that they were leaked by Israel in the hope of scuttling them. It may have been aided and abetted in this respect by flunkies within the administration.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: The substance of these negotiations are not entirely clear. We can however be reasonably confident that they concern US guarantees for a durable ceasefire and end of Israel’s genocidal military campaign in exchange for a full resolution of the captives file. The trigger for engagement appears to have been the unambiguous collective Arab rejection of the Trump Gaza Riviera proposal, and a recognition in Washington that Israel’s preferred course of action amounted to another forever war, a prolonged hostage crisis, and potentially war with Iran. Personal considerations, such as a determination by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to achieve success and ensure the release of captives holding US citizenship, rather than going down in history as the diplomat who sealed their fate, most likely also played a role. At this point it remains unclear if broader political issues are also up for discussion. I suspect not, or at least not yet.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: What then to make of Trump’s blood-curdling threats, issued, as so much else from this administration, via social media? The obvious question is whether one attaches more weight to what the administration or, given the irreconcilable contradictions, to what it is saying. Secondly, this is hardly the first time Trump has made such threats, so there is some justification to viewing his words as camouflage for his action. The captives get out, and the Trump cult can point to his threats of Armageddon as the reason. In the words of Laleh Khalili, “Given that the US is directly negotiating with Hamas, this is just for his bloodthirsty telly/online audiences”.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: It is also the case that Trump’s public positions are known to often reflect what he was told during his most recent meeting, and in this case he had just held one with a group of released Israeli captives.

🔻Mouin Rabbani: Taking into consideration that Washington’s Caligula is erratic and impulsive in equal measure, no definitive conclusions can or should be drawn. Having said that, the ecstatic celebrations of Trump’s genocidal threats by Israel and its flunkies may well prove premature. END

🔻 BowTiedMara: “It is clear that the Russians intended to take all of Ukraine. They made minor gains in the east, but their northern penetration failed, as did any attempts to turn westward. It is true that they have gained territory in Ukraine, but it is far from what their initial war plan was designed for. Now their argument is that they never wanted more territory in other parts of the country.

To call this a Russian success is false, and to call a failed war plan a defeat is reasonable. The war was meant to gain a buffer against NATO, and in that, Moscow failed. But it was also intended to be a demonstration that Russia was still a great power. After three years, a major commitment and, by most reports, close to a million dead Russian soldiers, Russia has little more than 20 percent of Ukraine. It also failed to demonstrate the power of the Russian army. Therefore, except for its nuclear capabilities, it is not a military threat or a great power.”

Putin basically achieved the following:
– 1 Million dead Russians / proxy Russians
– Rearmament of Europe
– NATO will probably grow bigger
– Got Trump to indirectly make Europe great again due to this War.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Continuity of Agenda: US Has Continued Sending Rockets AND Targeting Data Under Trump

As Ukraine continues using US HIMARS, keep in mind the guided rockets have continued to flow to Ukraine under the Trump administration.

Also continuing is US targeting data for HIMARS GMLRS – the US provides targeting data for virtually ALL attacks in both Ukrainian AND ESPECIALLY in Russian territory.

Ukraine lacks any ISR beyond the range of their limited drone capabilities meaning all deep-strikes require US intelligence and targeting data.

This includes for long-range drone attacks INSIDE Russia which have continued including this week.

As people imagine the US is now seeking peace, the flow of arms/support to Ukraine is only being paused to pressure Ukraine over resource concessions, not actually to end the war.

Ending the war could have taken place the first week of the Trump administration. Its continuation is a deliberate decision by the administration, betraying campaign promises… |links|

I must have missed Trump announcing the US withdrawal from NATO (as people excitedly believed) among all his promises to continue confronting, coercing, and interfering all around the globe.

This included blaming a proxy war he himself helped prepare for and provoke on Russia, Ukraine and Europe, and omitting the fact the US could actually end it at any time of its choosing. It is choosing not to.

This also included talk of seizing both the Panama Canal and Greenland specifically to cut off maritime trade routes during future conflicts with Russia and China and building a fleet of ships solely for fighting China off Beijing’s own shores.

This was also in between throwing red meat to the MAGA base to distract them from what was otherwise a vow of unconditional continuity of agenda.

⭕ 📜 NATO Article 5 Is A Little Stick

It consistently amuses me when the NATO bros talk tough while waving the little stick they call Article 5.

Article 5 is a mirage.

Its language is explicitly non-obligatory.

If, for example, the Russians decided to do a little “regime changing” of their own in the Baltics, or to annex a significant land corridor to Kaliningrad — very conceivable developments — well, we would quickly learn that Article 5 is awe-inspiring in theory and meaningless in practice.

Other than the Americans, no one in NATO is in any position to go play real war with the Russians in a futile bid to prop up the Baltics, let alone rescue Ukraine.

And inserting hostile US/NATO naval assets into the Baltic Sea would be even stupider than putting them in the Persian Gulf.

Any move from Poland would bring Belarus into the game, and besides, I think the Poles have already gotten their fill of Russian firepower in Ukraine. The Polish “volunteers” in Ukraine suffered multiple thousands of casualties, and the loss of large quantities of Polish implements of war. It will be a long while before the Poles once again wax bold enough to mix it up with the Russians.

The Germans? The French? The Dutch? The Italians? Who cares? They’re all empty shells.

The British? Sure, they’ll send a token force of this, that, and the other — because that’s all the British military is: a token force.

And anyone who thinks the Turks are even a remote possibility as an Article 5 volunteer ought to be slapped silly.

The rest of the mighty NATO bloc is not even worth mentioning.

“But now we got the Finns and the Swedes!”

Sure, sure.

It won’t surprise me to see both Finland and Sweden regime-change themselves in a fit of buyer’s remorse, and frantically embrace once again the relative neutrality they held to for so long.

So it will come down to the Americans and a motley assortment of whatever the rest of the Anglosphere consents to sacrifice to the cause.

If the fools talk themselves into showcasing their imagined naval and air supremacy against Russia, along with their supposedly legendary “combined-arms prowess”, they will not only lose against the Russians, but necessarily lose both west and east Asia.

A war against Russia — even if it only lasted a month or two — would effectively disarm the already weakened empire for several years. Wars against Iran and/or China would be rendered inconceivable for a generation or more.

And yet reliably confirmed reports have emerged in recent days that the oafish US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in closed-door consultations with Congress, raised the spectre of sending American “uncles, cousins, and sons” to fight the Russians in Ukraine, and thereby prevent a humiliating NATO defeat at the hands of the despised Muscovites.

I think it’s empty rhetoric. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is neck-deep in desperation. Therefore I am loath to underestimate their capacity for catastrophic blunder.

[yeah. why not? Enter Iran, Enter Brandon. Enter foot in mouth]
🔻 WS: There was never any credible BDA evidence that emerged indicating that even a single S-300 installation was struck, with the closest possibility being a static long-range radar site (not an S-300 component).

🔻 WS: Furthermore, the Iranians are now fielding their newly upgraded Bavar-373 systems, which are analogues to the S-400.

The story of Iranian AD being destroyed by Israeli strikes was a post hoc fairy tale designed to cover up the largely ineffectual attack.

IF the Israelis HAD achieved the incredible success they claimed, they would have returned over and over again with follow-up strikes on Iranian targets. They haven’t, and there is a good reason for that: they encountered unforeseen surprises when they approached Iranian airspace.

The U.S. should reindustrialize and come up with new products to export to the rest of the world to offset the amount of U.S. currency that would be coming back home and should invest these funds in public infrastructure and new civilian developments to balance inflation.

On Thursday, the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the French ambassador to discuss the “seriousness” of the project which will only “fuel the current crisis”, according to the ministry’s statement.

The CHERGUI 2025 exercise planned for September in the Moroccan city of Errachidia, not far from the Algerian border, will bring “the climate of tensions between the two countries to a higher threshold of seriousness”, Algiers said.

Franco-Algerian relations are going through one of the most serious crises since Algeria’s independence in 1962.

Triggered by the issue of Western Sahara, tensions have continued to grow since French President Emmanuel Macron supported last July an autonomy plan under “Moroccan sovereignty” for this disputed territory.

A constant fire is burned around and inside them. After three months of “quiet” of letting them invade, now it is detonated at worst possible moment.
3. Former regime supporters and Kurds are aligning, signaling horror for Turkey, which will be counter-invaded soon to deal with NATO and Constantinople – Turkey had been threatening Iram over this Syrian rebirth and Syrian Kurds ignoring the order of their former PKK boss Ocalan to disarm and normalize with Turks, and Trump threatened Iran today as well in unprecedented way, indicating the potency of the ongoing revival. What days! To see the front on Anatolia forming in front of our eyes. After the already defeated Zion, this is last remaining potent NATO army in Asia…. Erdogan and duplicitous Turks made their bed
4. Zionazis may really be committing a Masada-level suicide and re-entering Gaza with 400,000 troops, and really discharging Trump’s promise to exterminate all Gazans, whether combatants or not. This puts in context Yemen’s plan to return to war in four days to work to save the Palestinians from the savages.

⭕🇺🇸🇨🇦 Canada should cancel the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the United States.

Michael Byers, co-director of the Outer Space Institute, is urging Canada to cancel its F-35 purchase, citing U.S. political instability and reliance on American-controlled systems.

He warns that without access to the aircraft’s source code, Canada would not have full operational control, which would compromise its sovereignty.

Lockheed Martin, the American defense contractor responsible for the F-35, refuses to share this code with foreign customers, even close allies. In other words, every training or combat mission would require an identification code:

• Each training or combat mission would require a load of mission data processed by US computing facilities.
• The US government could deny access to these facilities, which would have the effect of crippling Canada’s F-35 fleet if it decided to exert pressure.
• Stealth aircraft coatings can only be maintained in the United States or Australia, further limiting Canada’s operational independence.

Mr. Byers issues a stark warning:

“If the United States wanted to invade Canada, they could gain air superiority, perhaps with a few keystrokes.”

⭕ Europe’s dilemma: welfare or defence?

British journalist Janan Ganesh argues in the Financial Times that Europe must cut social spending to fund a stronger army.

Faced with rising security threats and uncertainty over US defence commitments, Europe can no longer afford to neglect its military preparedness.

Europe has three main options for financing its defence:

1️⃣ Borrow – Most EU countries are already heavily indebted, making this solution politically and financially risky.

2️⃣ Raise taxes – This could weaken Europe’s fragile economy, as France’s backlash against Macron’s tax hikes showed.

3️⃣ Cut welfare payments – This is the most feasible option. The European welfare system was established after World War II, but with an aging population and rising pension costs, it is impossible to maintain it while increasing defense spending.

Mr Ganesh points out that Europe’s dependence on American security has allowed it to prioritise social protection for decades.

Today, with America’s commitment uncertain, Europe faces a crucial choice: social spending or military power.

⭕ 🔻 Shipwreckedcrew: 
Off topic observation for me:

Continually hear justifications from pro-Ukraine advocates — including EU reps yesterday — that Ukraine is doing the US and Europe a great service by keeping Russian military tied up and doing serious damage to its fighting ability. The least we can do is continue to provide them with funding and weapons to keep up the fight as long as they are willing to go on.

But we’ve seen examples of poor tactics, poor training, and Russian weapons systems and equipment used against Ukraine that doesn’t quite measure up to its billing.

Some of the equipment, or significant components of the equipment are manufactured for Russia in North Korea and China.

To the extent the weaknesses in these systems are being exposed, isn’t a continuation of the war a opportunity for China and North Korea to modernize and improve the weapons systems that they may decide to use elsewhere?

Isn’t Ukraine a big testing field for them – and the Russians?

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump on Russia Using U.S.-Ukraine Disputes to Its Advantage

[Do you believe Vladimir Putin is using the suspension of U.S. intelligence and weapons transfers to Ukraine to his advantage?]

“Honestly, I think he’s doing what anyone else would do. I believe he wants this to end and for the conflict to be resolved. I also think he’s hitting harder than before. Anyone in his position would likely be doing the same right now.”
🔻 WS: And what will be Trump’s reflexive response to the realization that the Russians are “hitting harder than before”? Easily predictable: Trump will seek to raise the stakes, because he remains in thrall to the delusions of American omnipotence.

MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT. THE TIMELINE.
1/5
From the moment the Nazis came to power in Germany, the USSR consistently acted as the most implacable opponent of the Third Reich in the international arena. This was particularly evident during the Sudeten crisis, when the USSR expressed readiness to provide armed assistance to Czechoslovakia against Germany, not to mention the confrontation between Soviet and German-Italian “volunteers” in Spain. All joint military programs between the two countries were suspended. From a trade perspective, the cooling of relations took numerical form: trade turnover between the USSR and Germany began to decline rapidly after Hitler came to power. Germany, which for several years had held first place in the USSR’s foreign trade, began to fall below the United States, England, and even countries like Belgium and Holland from 1935. In 1938, Finland purchased twice as many German goods as the USSR. By the time negotiations between the USSR and Germany began in the summer of 1939, the share of German exports to the USSR had decreased to 2.7% and imports to 2.2% in Germany’s foreign trade balance.

On December 22, 1938, the German Foreign Ministry approached the USSR trade mission in Berlin with the idea of an intergovernmental agreement providing the Soviet side with a credit of 200 million marks for purchasing German goods in exchange for raw materials supplies of the same value over two years, but these negotiations lasted until July 1939.

On March 10, 1939, Comrade Stalin delivered a speech at the 18th Party Congress, which is often pointed to as the starting impulse for the “rapprochement” between the USSR and Germany. Indeed, in Germany, attention was drawn to the fact that besides the usual accusatory rhetoric against aggressor states, there was sharp criticism of the British, French, and Americans for their policy of “appeasement” of aggressors.

In March 1939, Germany occupied the remnants of Czechoslovakia. The USSR issued a note of protest.

In April 1939, Hitler gave instructions to develop a plan for a full-scale war against Poland, and it was no longer about solving the “Polish corridor” problem, but about conquering the Polish state. As part of the war plan development, special attention was paid to countering the alliance of Great Britain and France, as there was virtually no doubt about their entry into hostilities after declaring guarantees to Poland. Regarding the USSR, presumptive neutrality was stipulated, since the relationship between Poland and the USSR did not suggest motives for the Soviet state to stand up for Poland.

On April 17, 1939, the Soviet government proposed to the governments of England and France to conclude a tripartite mutual assistance treaty. Germany became aware of the USSR’s initiative, nevertheless Hitler did not make any adjustments to the timing of preparation and plans for war against Poland. In the current situation, it was not so much the conclusion of a non-aggression pact with the USSR that was important for Germany, but the prevention of effective military cooperation between the Western powers and Moscow. However, from Hitler’s point of view, such an alliance was unlikely, primarily due to ideological differences between the countries.

In April 1939, officials of the German Foreign Ministry were instructed to seize any pretext that Soviet representatives might give to draw them into a discussion about the general state of relations between the two countries.

On April 17, 1939, the Soviet plenipotentiary in Berlin, during a meeting with E. Weizsäcker, touched upon Soviet orders to the Škoda factory, which had come under German control after their occupation of Czechoslovakia. On May 5, German Foreign Ministry adviser J. Schnurre informed the USSR’s temporary chargé d’affaires G. A. Astakhov about his government’s readiness to settle the issue of Soviet contracts with the Škoda factories. |THREAD|

🔻 Ed H. Hanna: I have a few questions, but I should mention that I haven’t delved into this aspect of WWII/GPW history.

(1) What are your thoughts on the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Will?

(2) Could it be inferred that the German intentions behind the pact included the neutralization, or rather, the pacification, of the Soviets while they (a) conquered Poland, (b) expanded their military strength, and (c) established safe routes eastward before attempting to conquer Moscow two years later?

(3) What are your views on the “secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe into spheres of influence” as a covert addendum of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Did it indeed exist? What is your approximation of its likely/true intended purpose for the Germans? Considering historical records indicate that it was a rather rushed German initiative, what is your estimation of its likely/true intended purpose for the Soviets, and why didn’t they consider its potential drawbacks?

On the latter point, I can’t help but notice parallels between such a covert protocol and what the Trump administration seems to be attempting to pursue with the Russians, where Eastern Europe would ostensibly fall within the Russian economic sphere of influence, while the U.S. becomes unhindered by other superpowers in their efforts in attempting to annex Canada and Greenland.

I would like to emphasize that I’m merely seeking to gain a deeper understanding.
[well said. At BEST, if it actually materializes, which is doubtful, an agreement with Russia via Orange would be modern equivalent of Mol-Rib Pact for this Fourth (and Last) Reich. A temporary breather, to reapply focus, pressure and dwindling resources in other directions]

⭕🤔 Unpopular opinion that will probably cost me a few hundred followers (and I couldn’t care less):

I first mentioned this to my wife last summer, and, to me, it is becoming more apparent with each passing month: Trump is suffering from steadily creeping dementia.

🔻Hound Dog: Compared to Biden he’s a genious.
🔻 WS: Yeah, but even with Biden, you didn’t really start to notice it until 7 or 8 years ago. And even during the 2020 campaign, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it became in 2021-22. Then, of course, during 2023-24, he was totally lost.
🔻 Vivies: Sorry, but Biden was obviously in demencia from the very beginning. He could barely talk and be understood. And the doddering walk was there, and the vacant look was there during his presidential campaign right through his presidency till the very end.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe I said anything that is contrary to your description of the matter.
🔻 Lisa🌸: He is old. He is delivering on his promises. The end.
🔻 WS: Which promises have been fulfilled so far?
🔻 cardano: border & illegal immigration for a start.

you sound smart, but seems to suffer from bias.
🔻 WS: No. I simply ignore what gets said and instead watch what gets done. I will grant that a “start” has been made in terms of immigration, but there is no way to yet assess something that will literally take MANY YEARS to accomplish.

What other promises have been “delivered”?
🔻 cardano: 2 more, beyond tackling border crossings which went down >90% due to threat of enforcement.

1. DOGE layoffs 2. Broad DEI / weird woke stuff.

These things are not done and dusted, but no one was expecting DOGE to be this radical or across the board DEI banning. Great start.
🔻 my Anon twit: Gentle reminder: the Republicans control the house and the Senate, so they can change any law that they want. They can also cut any budget they want.

So far it’s been little more than optics.
🔻 WS: I hope some of these purges of government bureaucracies actually “stick”, but we’re already seeing that the power of the DC blob is greater than the enforcement authority of an executive order. I am dubious that much will meaningfully change. It will all bog down over time.
🔻 Chris Close: Unmistakable hesitation/memory loss.

Could be dementia.

Could be old age and normal.

Could be a long day at 78 years old.

Curious to see how it develops.
🔻 WS: “IF” it is creeping dementia, it’s certainly early stage. And, like I said, it’s just my opinion — largely based on my fairly recent recollections of how my mother’s situation developed. It started with subtle little things, but it steadily progressed, first gradually, then fast.
🔻 Chris Close: Yep. No, I get it. Have 3 grandparents that died with Dementia/Alzheimer’s and volunteered at Alzheimer’s association back home for years.

Absolutely could be.

He is also 78 and been under tremendous strain for the last 9++ years.

Time will tell. Good catch Will.
🔻 Gary L: I work with dementia patients, and had seen it progress in my grandmother. I’m curious if there are any quantifiable indications you’ve noticed, or what subtleties you’ve perceived. I have not noticed, but I certainly may have missed some signs.
🔻 WS: It’s just my opinion, man. Like I said, it’s a subtle thing. I’ve watched it happen with several people over the years, most recently my own mother. With her, it started to come on gradually when she was about 77, and by the time she died at 82, it was very advanced.
🔻 Gran Maestro: Same with my Brother who passed away last year aged 79 (due to pneumonia btw)
It starts slowly, for instance by forgetting obvious things you told the day before and than slowly progresses eroding cognitive abilities.
Very sad.
🔻 Red River D: Dude, Trump consumes the perfect diet of McDonald’s, bowls of candy, ice cream and Diet Coke.

I don’t know why you would ever suggest his faculties aren’t in pristine working order.

🔻 Aashish Kaul: In six months he will be indistinguishable from the president he unseated.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe that. It will probably advance gradually for the next couple years, and then begin to accelerate.

But again, this is just my opinion. YMMV.
🔻 Aashish Kaul: He will not be able to control what he is unleashing and it will fast track it. But I agree with you. I had the same feeling when he went on a rant about Obama, Bush and Biden during the Zelinsky presser. He looked helpless.
🔻Severed Legs: People have been saying this kind of thing for 10 years. There’s no evidence of this.
🔻 WS: “It’s a subtle thing. At first. Then it steadily worsens over the course of a couple years. I watched it happen with my mother.”
🔻 Not My Son’s. No War, No Where. Peace ✌️: Are you an expert?

🔻 John Shaplin: So does John Helmer, or rather psychosis that is deteriorating to dementia under the pressures of the Oval Office, 6:35 |media|
🔻 WS: Well … I don’t listen to Helmer. I don’t read him. I have both listened to and read him in the past. I found him to be a singularly unreliable source.

In any case, I’m just expressing my opinion that Trump attests what I would characterize as incipient dementia.

🔻 Margaret Kimberley: Agreed but he’s there because grandpa Biden, also with dementia, wouldn’t give up the keys.
🔻 WS: Perhaps so. But such considerations are separate from my narrow point, which is simply that it is my sense that Trump is attesting incipient dementia — like Biden was back at least as early as 2018 or so, and in a fashion similar to what I witnessed with my own mother.
🔻 Margaret Kimberley: I got your point, but I couldn’t help pointing out that we’ve had 2 presidents in a row in cognitive decline. At least they haven’t said that Trump just has a stutter. Not yet anyway.

🔻 Margaret Kimberley: I’m in a good mood. I’d rather not consider that. LOL
🔻 Godfree Roberts: There is a certain cadence to decline, a rhythm of arrogance and desperation, of miscalculation and delusion. The late-stage empire, unmoored from reality yet clinging to myths of its own indispensability, lashes out at perceived threats not because they are real, but because it cannot conceive of a world in which it is no longer the gravitational centre of history. In this way, Russophobia and Sinophobia function not merely as ideological constructs, but as symptoms of systemic decay, the fever dreams of a civilisation struggling to process its own obsolescence. |link|

⭕🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺: The situation in Kursk reached a decision point over the last 24 hours. Ukrainian forces around Sudzha have two roads connecting them to home. The main supply route (1) has been under Russian fire for a while now, and they’ve been leaning on the secondary route (2).

A Russian attack out of Kurilovka managed to break through to this secondary road. There are reports that Russian troops reached the Ukrainian border, which would mean the road is physically blocked and not just under fire control. The advance has been confirmed by Ukrainian mappers like DeepState.

The AFU either needs to sort itself out to immediately withdraw from Kursk or else counterattack and attempt to unblock the road. They’re withdrawing from Malaya Loknya on the northern tip of the salient, but whether this portends a general abandonment of Kursk remains to be seen.

Given the dense Russian fires on the roads out over the past few weeks, Ukrainian withdrawal would likely entail abandoning or losing lots of equipment. Very difficult to imagine them squeezing out of the bottleneck in good order.

⭕ 🇮🇷| Leader of Iran, Imam Khamenei, in reaction to Trump’s remarks on negotiation with the US:

“Thankfully, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is active — one of the most active ministries (in Iran). The issue of relations with neighboring countries, as mentioned, is very important. The same goes for non-neighboring countries as well. But there are 1 or 2 key points.

Some bullying governments — and honestly, I can’t think of a more accurate term for some foreign leaders and heads of state than “bully” — insist on negotiations. But their negotiations aren’t about solving issues; they’re about domination. They use negotiations as a tool to impose their demands on the party sitting across the table. If the other side accepts, great. If not, they create a commotion, accusing the other side of walking away from the table, claiming they abandoned negotiations.

For them, negotiations are just a path to presenting new demands — and it’s not just about the nuclear issue.

They keep raising new expectations that Iran will definitely not fulfill:

• Restrictions on our country’s defense capabilities
• Limitations on international influence
• Telling us where we can or can’t invest money
• What we can or can’t produce
• Or that our missile range shouldn’t exceed a certain limit.

If someone is willing to accept these demands, let them. But negotiations, in this sense, are for imposing control — far from fair diplomacy. Yet, they loudly repeat slogans and big words to influence public opinion, trying to pressure us with the claim that “the other side is ready to negotiate, so why aren’t you?”

But this isn’t about honest negotiations — it’s about coercion and imposition. Of course, there are other aspects to this issue that we won’t dive into here. I won’t get into the details. Perhaps we’ll discuss it more thoroughly at another time. But in short, this is the essence of the matter.
⭕ 🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei on western hypocrisy:

The complaint detailed Israel’s continuous violations of the ceasefire declaration since it came into effect on November 27, 2024, including its ongoing land and air attacks, the destruction of homes and residential neighborhoods, and severe violations such as the abduction of Lebanese citizens, including Lebanese army soldiers, as well as attacks on civilians returning to their border villages, which led to the death of approximately 24 civilians and injuries to more than 124 others.

The sanctions target three individuals and four entities that Canada says are linked to sophisticated technology supply chains.

[links the older WS tweet:
“ISR has NOT been “cut off” to Ukraine. NATO ISR platforms have, in fact, increased their sorties in recent days and weeks.

Nor have weapons shipments from Poland decreased by any appreciable degree.

Ignore what they say; watch what they do.”]
🔻 WS: Maxar satellite imagery, for example, is readily available via the European NATO countries that are openly supporting Ukraine. French, British, and Scandinavian ISR aircraft are gathering intel. The whole “US has cut off Ukraine intel feeds” is a dodge.
🔻 ScipioIndicanus: This implies that the European armies can operate without American ISR if the British and French support them?
🔻 WS: Why would they even be deprived American ISR? That’s my whole point. The US can say, “We aren’t giving Ukraine any intel anymore.” But European NATO countries have capabilities and access, and they’re not cutting it off. So it’s all meaningless posturing.
🔻 Philip Pilkington: UK was told directly not to share US intel
🔻 WS: All I know is that NATO airborne ISR around Ukraine has increased, and European access to commercial satellite imagery remains unchanged.
🔻 PossumActual: At the very minimum there will be a coordination problem. At the maximum the Euros will not be able to fill the gap.
🔻 WS: Sure, the bottom line is that Ukraine still lacks soldiers, equipment, and ammunition. And intel or no intel, the AFU will continue to be slaughtered.

(1) The whole world saw it coming BEFORE this last ditch measure, and (2) not gonna remove targeting solutions custom-designed for CONUS, held complicit with whatever deranged suicide is in motion by EuroNazi scum]
🔻 PossumActual: Maybe, maybe not. For instance, can the Euros run the same number of Global Hawk flights, with the same equipment, that the US did? Probably not.

Can they sub in some of that intel? Probably. Do they have assets ready to go right now? Probably not.
🔻 Philip Pilkington: European ISR is ridiculously bad. US has told the UK to not share US intel – so very likely all of NATO have been told the same. Ukraine are welcome to crappy eurosystems. Good luck to them.
🔻 PossumActual: And, NATO countries are used to coordination with the US. So even if they have useful assets and even if they are in the theater, it will take weeks to figure out how to get stuff stovepiped to the Ukes. If thwy aren’t in theater, add weeks to months. If they don’t have assets?😬

AFRICA is the reason for this war. Russia has cracked the code of freedom from neocolonialism on the continent and this has rattled colonial (Western Europe) to the core. That’s why they raised Zelensky and chose Ukraine to tackle, weaken and or eliminate the threat called Russia.

Like Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, many more African nations are reportedly making plans to dump their colonial masters and embrace true independence, with the help of Russia, between now and the next 12-18 months.

The colonials, led by France who has been the worst hit in the continent of Africa, are solidly and irreversibly on war path. This is why the so called talk of peace from Trump irritates them. This is why Zelensky intentionally acted the way he did in the White House. This is why for the first time since ww2, Europeans are ready to put out a whooping $1 Trillion dollars in defense budget for Europe – that’s about the same defense budget as the U.S. – just to fight Russia. That’s why they’re calling America’s bluff and openly countering Trump’s narrative of peace in Ukraine at every turn.

The killings have been happening in twos and threes daily for the past three months. Syrians decided to resist and fight back and the regime has slaughtered them and many thousands of innocent civilians.

Thousands have fled to the Russian airbase for protection.

If the Ukrainian crisis ended before 2029 or 2030, Russia would “use its technical, material and personnel resources” to threaten Europe, BND chief Bruno Kahl claimed in an interview with DW.*

💬 “An early end to the war in Ukraine would enable the Russians to direct their energy where they actually want it, namely against Europe,” the spy chief said, claiming Russia’s ultimate aim was to push back NATO’s “protective presence” to where it was in the late 1990s before the bloc’s eastward expansion.

Kahl’s message shocked and outraged Ukrainian politicians finally realizing their nation is being used cannon fodder for the West, but it’s far from the first time a Western official has expressed such sentiments.

On the eve of the start of the International Naval Exercise, the head of the Russian delegation Commander of the Primorye Flotilla of Diverse Forces of the Pacific Fleet Rear Admiral Aleksey Sysoyev, who is currently in Iran, reported to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev on the readiness of the Russian Navy ships to participate in the exercise.

💥During several days in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, the crews will work out the tasks of liberation of captured ships, search and rescue at sea as well as conduct artillery firing at sea and air targets.

The Sea Security Belt 2025 international Naval Exercise organised by the Iranian side is being held for the seventh time. It was first held in the waters of the Arabian Sea in 2018. Ships of the Iranian Navy, Russian Navy and PLA Navy participate in the exercise on a permanent basis. This year it involves about 15 ships, support vessels and combat boats, as well as naval aviation helicopters. The objectives of the exercise are: ensuring maritime security, countering maritime threats, and preventing the spread of terrorism.

⭕ 🇺🇸🇪🇺 Can the United States turn off Europe’s weapons?

The answer: Absolutely YES!

European militaries rely on American technology for maintenance, software updates and spare parts.

If Washington cuts its support, key systems such as fighter jets, missile defenses and drones could become inoperable.

Richard Aboulafia warns of possible American “kill switches” in European weapons:

“If you postulate the existence of something that can be done with a small piece of software code, it exists.”

55% of Europe’s defence imports (2019-2023) come from the United States – a sharp increase from 35% in the previous five years (SIPRI).

Countries like Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland rely on US-made F-35s for their air defense. The F-35 requires constant software updates via ALIS, which will soon be replaced by Odin.

Sash Tusa warns:

“If the US stops the updates, the equipment stops working – if not instantly, then very, very quickly.”

⭕ The closest supporters of the current Syrian authorities and Ahmad a-Sharaa acknowledged the unjust killing of civilians in western Syria.
⭕ Regardless of the uprising by groups that oppose the current authorities but are not necessarily pro-Assad, the sectarian massacre in western Syria targeting the Alawite community cannot be overlooked. It highlights the fundamental impossibility of the West engaging with the new Syrian authorities, and any attempt to whitewash their actions is not only misguided but morally indefensible.
⭕ Many, though not exclusively, elements “Muhajereen” from Uzbekistan, Chechnya, Tunisia, and Turkistan are members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, as well as the Syrian Defense Ministry, and were among those who participated in the massacre in the coastal region of Syria. The responsibility for these actions lies with Ahmad al-Shara’ (also known as Abu Mohammad al-Joulani) and Turkey.

Many within the Syrian military and segments of the general security forces under the current authorities participated in the massacre. Still, others were outraged by the killings perpetrated against civilians in Jableh, Tartous, Baniyas, and Latakia.

⭕ 🇮🇱🇸🇾 Archangel Spetsnaz comment on possible Israeli ambitions in Southern Syria 👇

Is the “David Corridor” a Realistic Project?

Amid the ongoing genocide carried out by militants of the new Syrian authorities—with full approval from their leadership—Israel’s reaction has been unusual. As we previously reported, Israel’s Defense Minister condemned the violence in Latakia and Tartus.

A day before Alawite protests erupted, the Israeli Air Force launched another missile strike on HTS positions, targeting an air defense zone of Syria’s new army. Many observers believe Israel is supporting the Alawites in this situation.

However, for Israel, the current chaos in Syria presents a perfect justification to expand its operations in the country’s south. The so-called “buffer zone” is set to grow further, as Israel now has a convenient pretext—the need to “protect itself” from the uncontrolled violence of extremist factions.

Israeli forces have solidified their positions in occupied areas of Quneitra province and are now conducting raids deeper into the east, moving toward Suwayda and Daraa.

This has reignited discussions about Israel’s potential “David Corridor” project—a plan to establish an Israeli-controlled corridor through three southern Syrian provinces, securing a section of the border with Jordan and linking it to SDF-held territories that are aligned with Israel.

Further supporting this idea is the formation of the Suwayda Military Council by local Druze communities, reportedly loyal to Israel due to the large Druze diaspora in Israel advocating for territorial unification.

Similar trends are emerging in Daraa, where discontent with the Syrian government is rising. Meanwhile, the recent massacres of minorities in Latakia and Tartus suggest that Syria’s Druze population is preparing for the possibility of being targeted next.

Given Israel’s ambitions, the “David Corridor” project no longer seems implausible. Especially now, when Tel Aviv can use the specter of “HTS savages” rampaging through Syria as a justification for further occupation.
[this “David Corridor” is the diagonal red line on the lower map, also spoken of above by Knesset National Security Committee Boaz Bismuth as “Syria is our bridge to the Euphrates”.
On the Russian map: Сирия = Syria, Израиль = Israel, Иордания = Jordan, Ирак = Iraq, Ливан = Lebanon. It is very safe to say now, all save Zion will cease to exist in short order. Then Zion too, and the entire Sykes-Picot with it. As seen with the EuroNazis, these compradore arabs are unfit to survive in current configuration.]
⭕ 🇸🇾 “Let sectarianism fall, and let the nation live.”

The Greek Antiochian Orthodox Patriarch John X stands before Jolani and delivers a powerful plea, confronting him over the massacres unfolding along the Syrian coast. He speaks not just as a religious leader, but as a voice for the innocent—Christians and Alawites who are NOT caught in crossfire but are being deliberately targeted.

He reminds the world that the majority of those killed are not “remnants of the regime”—they are civilians, women, and children, slaughtered in their homes, forced from their villages, and stripped of their lives simply for their faith and identity.

Icons of the Virgin Mary, whom both Christians and Muslims revere, have been desecrated, and churches and homes have been burned to the ground. He calls on Jolani to stop the massacres immediately and to return Syria to a path of peace, unity, and reconciliation.

The crowd erupts in applause, because they know the truth—this was never about a revolution, democracy, or freedom. It was always about sectarian hatred and destruction.

Yet, we were told that Christians were not being targeted, that their suffering was a “hoax,” and that they stood by as Alawites were slaughtered. How much more proof is needed? |media|

They mock their victims, shouting, “Pull yourself together, Abu Ahmed!” before calling them dogs and pigs. This isn’t warfare—it’s pure humiliation, sectarian hatred, and psychological torture.

You wretched ones, enough is enough! What you are doing—executions and the murder of defenseless Syrians—is despicable. If you claim to be heroes and real men, direct your weapons against those who have violated Syria, seeking to occupy and bomb it day and night right before your eyes. You, who pretend to be righteous, have chosen to turn a blind eye, as if you were dead, and we have not seen even a single bullet fired in retaliation against the Zionists.

Today, you take pride in killing innocent Muslims—civilians who are unarmed and defenseless. Is this what you call bravery, you scoundrels? You don the guise of Islam, yet you are Zionist Nazis hiding behind this facade. The true Islam that we follow is one of mercy and compassion. It forbids the killing of innocent civilians and the slaughter of captives. This is the Islam we uphold in Yemen.

We advise you, oh wretched ones of the al-Golani gangs in Syria, to remove your masks and reveal the true nature of your agenda, which seeks to fulfill multiple Zionist objectives. Your actions aim to distort Islamic teachings and portray Islam as a religion of terrorism. In reality, Islam is a religion of peace and mercy.

Consider this a dire warning: we are watching you, and your actions will not go unnoticed. Your days of deception are numbered, and the truth will prevail. You may hide behind a mask, but sooner or later, your true intentions will be exposed, and justice will be served.

⭕ From the beginning of the Kursk Kamikaze Inkursion, I have argued that the Russians deliberately opened the door and permitted the opposing AFU forces to enter a preconceived “kill zone”: a substantial salient that could be methodically destroyed.

I still hold to this opinion.
[links older from 27 Aug 2024:
“I adamantly disagree.

Not only did they execute a rapid and almost flawless evacuation and suffered negligible civilian losses, but they cleared their own mine fields to open specific corridors, and pre-placed some of their most capable units in the rear, along with extensive long-range fires.

The Russians have not had to transfer forces from any other part of the LOC in order to defeat the incursion, and at no point has there been any credible risk of the incursion achieving ANY operational or strategic success.

The results speak for themselves: it has been an absolute massacre of the AFU forces fed into the kill zone.

Furthermore, it is perfectly consonant with longstanding Russian military doctrine and practice. It is consistent with:

Kherson – August 2022
Kharkov – September 2022
Bakhmut – Winter 2022/23
Zaporozhye – Summer 2023

The Russians are now and have always been perfectly willing to sacrifice their own territory in order to lure enemy forces into an optimal kill zone.

Sure, there are always unpredictable developments that demand improvisation and adaptation, but this disastrous (for Ukraine) move into a sparsely populated region of Kursk oblast is, in my view, just another of multiple examples of the Russians laying similar traps.

Note that there is ZERO evidence of anyone in the Russian military being sacked or even criticized (by Putin et al.) for what has happened. And why would they be? Everything that has taken place over the past three weeks on the Kursk front attests a pre-planned and competently executed operation.

I fully agree with this observation: |link| “]
🔻 C1: Do you think the decision to finally wrap it up suggests Russians perceive substantive negotiations are now likely? If the war in Ukraine proper were to drag on for another 6-12 months, I would have expected the Russians to keep it open as a useful soak indefinitely

🔻 C2: I dont think there will be a general offensive

🔻 JimNorCal: You have a lot of evidence on your side but the many reports of war crimes against civilians suggests RU was not able to get everyone out
🔻 WS: No civilians were “forced” to leave in Kursk. But most had ample opportunity.

In any case, war is a messy business. And if you are not prepared to face the arithmetic of war, you cannot win.

Russians have long attested a nature prepared to face the arithmetic of war.
🔻 WS: Among American generals in the annals of war, only Ulysses S. Grant was willing to face the arithmetic of war — even while adhering to obsolete tactics.

I adamantly do not believe the American military circa 2025 can face the arithmetic of war.

#NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: When the Kursk incursion happened, I was inclined to accept your argument, Will. However, I’ve chosen to reserve judgment until I observe how the Russians handle the situation.

It has now become indisputable that the Russians managed the situation expertly and took full advantage of the circumstances. That is, they executed an expeditiously successful evacuation of the region, in effect minimizing civilian casualties, and efficiently destroyed the best of the AFU personnel and equipment on a battlefield of their choosing, effectively accelerating the attrition of the AFU.

That said, considering that Russians have been conducting a massive military operation akin to war—in addition to my earlier point, it does not matter if the Russian political and military leadership permitted or even engineered the manifestation of the incursion, as such a double-envelope operation likely saved the lives of at least tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, in effect massively outweighing the sacrifice.

Reasonable and justifiable sacrifices are often required, especially during war.
🔻 Old Britisher 🇬🇧: I think a lot of the NATO planning has been based on a misunderstanding of Russian motives

NATO planners seem to think its about land, so they wanted to grab some Russian land to use as ‘leverage’

That’s absurd. One thing Russia has absolutely no shortage of is land. The problem for Russia has always been the presence of the puppet NATO army in Ukraine, that is the problem for Russia and that is its target

At the start of the war Russia didn’t even want to annex the four oblasts. I suspect that the annexations were carried out because Russia realised that, after the failure of Istanbul talks, it needed to switch to a war of attrition and for political and legal reasons it wanted this war of attrition to be happening on what was legally Russian soil

The Kursk incursion therefore, far from being a setback for Russia, provided for it a new front in which to carry out its main strategy
🔻 Vito Corleone: And now that there’s a clear effort on the diplomacy side of things, Russians decided to close it off, so that it doesn’t remain a card in the negotiations.
🔻 WS: I will be utterly shocked if there is a credible “negotiated settlement” to this war in 2025 — as in an agreement that satisfies the terms of Russia’s demand that the “root causes” of the conflict be resolved once and for all.

2. They provided an opening at KURSK points by removing mine fields and tank traps ….. low civilian area, etc

3. APPEARED to look weak and made the Ukraine army chase further in land once they started.

أحمد

Latin:
Ahmad

Analysing it:
1. Confidence & Authority
The large, stylized signature suggests self-assurance and a strong personality.
The flourish underneath indicates a desire for dominance and control, often seen in individuals who seek to reinforce their authority.
The upright and bold strokes suggest someone who is determined, assertive, and unafraid to take decisive action.
2. Ambition & Leadership
The smooth yet elaborate handwriting implies strategic thinking and ambition.
The sharp angles and connected letters suggest quick decision-making, analytical skills, and a calculated approach to leadership.
The presence of clear Arabic script alongside the signature indicates a balance between formality and personal identity, showing someone who understands the importance of highlighting both tradition and self-presentation.
3. Desire for Power & Control
The elongated final stroke in the signature is often associated with people who want to leave a lasting impact.
A long horizontal line under the name is a common trait among highly self-reliant individuals who want control.
The size of the signature compared to the text may indicate someone who sees themselves as larger than life or wants to project an image of dominance.
4. Strategic & Diplomatic Nature
The signature is clear yet intricate, meaning the person is careful with their public image.
The mix of Arabic and Latin script suggests a dual awareness of different audiences, which could indicate political savvy or diplomatic message.

Perfectionism or rigid thinking – The structured nature of the signature may suggest a desire for control, possibly leading to inflexibility.
Image-consciousness – The polished nature of the handwriting suggests a strong focus on reputation, which can sometimes result in prioritising perception over reality.
Authoritarian tendencies – The boldness and strong underline suggest someone who demands respect and obedience, possibly leaning toward authoritarian leadership styles.

• The Zionists possess a criminal mentality, methodology, and a philosophy that justifies such horrific crimes.
• The crimes on the Syrian coast are the product of Jewish and Zionist.
• The criminal behavior of killing unarmed, peaceful civilians, including children and women, has nothing to do with Islam.
• The takfiri criminality against unarmed, peaceful civilians on the Syrian coast reveals the true nature of these criminal groups Zionists.
• Syrian coast witnesses a horrific crime that must be condemned and denounced, and every effort must be made to stop it.
• The regional sponsors of the takfiris in Syria are partners in the crime and are working to justify these massacres.
• The official Arab stance toward the crimes on the Syrian coast has been shameful, as usual, similar to its stance on the Palestinian cause.
• It was supposed that all the people of Syria, regardless of their affiliations, would be protected by the state, especially unarmed, peaceful civilians.

• Everyone should take a clear stance condemning these crimes in Syria, disavow them, and also strive to pressure for their cessation.
• Criminal behavior and behavioral pattern in which takfiri groups emulate the Zionists demonstrate the extent of their connection to them and their criminal methodology.
• Scenes of the crimes in Syria are extremely horrific and represent a great criminal act, reflecting that these actions are by no means individual.
• advises all Muslims not to rely on the media outlets affiliated with the regional sponsors of these takfiri groups regarding what is happening in Syria.
• Attempt to cover up the crimes in Syria is a crime in itself, as it is a cover-up for genocide and an attempt to deny clear and well-known facts.
• Crimes of the takfiri groups in Syria are extremely horrific, brutal, and heinous in every sense of the word.
• Everyone should take a clear stance condemning these crimes in Syria, disavow them, and also strive to pressure for their cessation.

⭕🔥 Scorching Caitlin Johnstone

I endorse this message.
links:
🔻 Caitlin Johnstone: Words can’t express how disgusted I am with Trump supporters who defend their president stomping out speech rights for Israel after spending years wailing about the loss of free speech in America. It’s beyond mere political differences. I don’t respect them as people.

Of all the pathetic, groveling, bootlicking positions anyone could possibly espouse, it’s hard to imagine one more egregious than twisting yourself into cognitive knots trying to find ways to excuse a president crushing free speech in your country to advance the interests of a foreign state after spending years yelling “America First” and whining about freedom of speech, just because that President happens to be a Republican.

If you are doing this, you’re just admitting that you don’t stand for anything, and you’re just drifting along with the herd and supporting whatever the man in charge tells you to support. You’re unthinking human livestock. A mindless, useless, pointless NPC. You have wasted all of your time on this planet, because you did not use that time to mature into a sovereign adult with basic intellectual agency and integrity.

Republicans have this adorable story about themselves where they believe they have changed since the George W Bush administration, but that’s not what I’m seeing on social media today. I’m seeing the same shitbrained, power-worshipping sheep who cheered on every authoritarian abuse rolled out by the Bush administration. That’s all this so-called “populist” movement calling itself “MAGA” turned out to be: all the same authoritarian bootlicking, but with more presents for Israel.

I saw a tweet from Michael Tracey the other day, “GOP free speech: You can say ‘retarded’ again, but you can’t protest Israel.”

That’s the long and short of it, right there. When Trump supporters spent all those years yelling about the First Amendment, it turns out they weren’t talking about the need to stop the powerful from silencing inconvenient political speech — they just wanted to be allowed to say “retard” and “tranny” on social media. As long as they get those completely irrelevant concessions from the powerful, they’ll happily let their government set all kinds of speech-suppressing legal precedents, because they don’t actually have any values or positions which pose any kind of challenge to the powerful. They’re George W Bush Republicans LARPing as populist revolutionaries.

Someone who actually supports free speech says “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Trump supporters say “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death my government’s right to silence you as long as a Republican is in office.”

My only implied argument, as it were, is that “samizdat finds a way”. I therefore consider immaterial your tu quoque appeal to supposed “suppression of information”.
🔻 Michael Tracey: OK, then I agree that Russia’s ban on X is “ineffectual” insofar as people can circumvent it using VPNs, which is the case for most instances of online censorship throughout the world
🔻 WS: I mean no offense. I am and have long been a fan of yours — even though I don’t always agree with your views.

I’m just saying that I find the entire “who has more freedom” argument largely meaningless in the present context of the world. “Freedom” is a very subjective concept.

Consider the two tableaus.

They didn’t bother to balance the side. The Anglos’ (Saudis use the WC at the pleasure of the AZE) camera vantage skewed it to minimize the damage. The camera didn’t center it, which would have thoroughly exposed the disparity in power, by hiding the empty third Russian seat.

⭕ The announcement of a negotiation between Israel and Lebanon is an Israeli-American deception meant to allow the two countries to focus on military action against Yemen while Israel continues the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank with the help of the Palestinian Authority. They are working to isolate different theaters of this war to make it manageable for them.

Once Yemen is destroyed or hurt, they will return to harming Lebanon/Syria again.

There is never peace and stability with a colonial presence
[I still aver the primary target remains Iran. Then Yemen…
NB. as Orange just took full ownership for the Strategic Defeat in 404 today, he’s all in too with holocausting the arabs, from Greater Syria, through KSA, to Yemen… Mr. Peacemaker himself]
⭕ Also important to note: the Russian-Chinese-Iranian joint naval exercise timed for the expiry of the Houthi-issued ultimatum to Israel.

At the same time, the Iranian president sends Trump to hell (‘no negotiation under threat’), and Russia is saving humanity and harbouring Syrians in its bases in Syria, undoubtedly angering The Genocide Alliance (formerly known as ‘the West’).

Also at the same time, a new IDF Chief of Staff has been appointed, who has been voicing desires to attack Iran and renew the genocide. His predecessor was effectively discharged from service for not being aggressive enough (Halevi hinted at this in his farewell speech, and I read it as him warning against an all-out war with Iran).

There is a very big game going on beneath the media surface. And the impression I’m getting is that the West’s enemies, this time, have an iron resolve: China is actually openly present in Iranian waters when an Israeli-American attack could be happening any minute, and Russia just signed a broad defense treaty with Iran.

One final indication of the seriousness of this moment is Qatar’s erratic conduct: supporting the genocide in Syria while cautioning against an attack on Iran and demanding Israel come under international nuclear supervision.

And a final-final indication: the announcement that Israel will negotiate with Lebanon. Throughout the past 16 months, every time a negotiation was announced it was a sure sign of escalation.

October 7, 2023, was a detonator. The big bomb hasn’t exploded yet. But it will

The US might urge Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza to alleviate humanitarian concerns, potentially reducing regional tensions and play a mediating role in pushing forward the phase two of the ceasefire.

⭕️ 👉 Main statements from Sergey Lavrov’s interview with US bloggers Mario Naufal, Larry Johnson, and Andrew Napolitano:

• The presence of NATO troops on Ukrainian soil under any flag, in any capacity, including as peacekeepers, constitutes a threat to Russia;
• Russia will under no circumstances accept the presence of NATO countries on Ukrainian territory;
• In the context of the Ukrainian crisis, Russia knows how to avoid compromises that would endanger people’s lives;
• Ukraine would have retained its 1991 borders, but without Crimea and part of Donbass, if Kiev had cooperated and implemented its own initiatives;
• Europe and Great Britain want the conflict over Ukraine to continue; they are “preparing something” to push the United States into aggressive action against Russia;
• As for dialogue between Russia and the United States, the nuclear powers must not shout at each other; they must communicate at the negotiating table;
• The interests of Russia and the United States will never be identical; they cannot even match50%;
• As for the possibility of a meeting involving the United States, Russia, and China on nuclear weapons, Moscow is open to any format based on respect.

🔻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩: NATO, absent US forces, has zero capability to project land power and logistically support them in a contested battle on the Continent.

The Russians have no desire to do so but they also have no capability to militarily attack, hold and absorb any European nation due west of the Ukraine.

Absent no use of nuclear weapons, the Russians can defeat the continental prospective IAMD (I say prospective because there is no IAMD deployment nor comprehensive capability to protect existing military base infrastructure much less critical energy infrastructure across Western Europe) with a missile capability no one can match in western Eurasia. I say that because the A2AD apparatus on the eastern periphery of China may be the most lethal ring of fire on Earth.

The Russians are also now the most blooded and effective maneuver force on Earth that can hold its own in attrition warfare when stalled on offensive arms.
🔻 WS: That pretty much sums it up. I would only add that NATO, even WITH US forces, could pose no credible challenge against the Russians at this point in time.

“Absent the US, there is zero chance “Europe” will make war against Russia. It is a physical impossibility. It cannot be done.

🔻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩: I agree, Will

Not only do I think the US would have a tremendous challenge from Port of Embarkation to Port of Debarkation for all sealift and airlift across the Atlantic if sabotage or hybrid tactics (cyber warfare, black propaganda and airfield/port mischief) are employed but the NATO countries are not interoperable for smooth mass transit from west to the eastern frontiers.

All UK and EU bridges are rated at 44,000 kg (44 tons) maximum total weight. And all those bridges are eminently targetable by a preemptive mass strike by Russian missiles in the middle of the night simultaneously. Couple that with port strikes and things become difficult.

44 tons.

Take a close look at ports on Norway, Holland, Belgium, Germany and France and the west to east arterials.

Then look at what happens when you destroy the ability to transit Gibraltar.

🔻 Russians With Attitude:
Insane footage from the Sudzha pipe operation here. An absolute must-watch.

It’s hard to comprehend the scale and difficulty of this mission. Getting enough oxygen and water into the tunnel, setting up the logistics (soldiers need ammo! They need food!), dealing with the physical challenges — walking 15km through a narrow tunnel with a low ceiling (my back hurts just thinking about it) —, the psychological pressure, the darkness… and yet…

They sent several hundred soldiers through that tunnel. Everyone always had enough food and water. After exiting the tunnel, the soldiers immediately went on a forced march and into battle — they captured several key strongpoints, set up a perimeter defence & held the line until their comrades broke through to them.

This was a genuinely superhuman feat. Not just the march, not just the sheer amount of soldiers that crossed that pipe, but, after going through this nightmare willpower challenge, IMMEDIATELY going into combat, and WINNING, kicking the enemy out of his trenches and strongpoints, disrupting his logistics, causing chaos and panic in his rear, and then absorbing the pushback while fully encircled on all sides — it’s UNBELIEVABLE. And yet we know it happened! We have videos! We’ve seen the map change dramatically over a few days!

Again, I absolutely do not believe that men nowadays are somehow less brave or heroic than previous generations. This operation was one for the history books, to be talked about in a hundred years. I’m tempted to call these men demigods or some other epithet. But they’re not. They’re just Russian soldiers…

As for the enemy, they do what they always do. The pipeline operation caused mixed reactions in the Ukrainian camp: it simultaneously never happened, and also all the troops that were inside the pipeline were killed immediately upon exiting, and also they all suffocated on the way there. And the frontline collapsed, because… Well, they haven’t really talked about that yet. But who cares.

They’ve taken fat Ls in similar ways twice before — at the ‘Tsarskaya Okhota’ strongpoint, which contributed to the fall of Avdeevka, and near New York. But those ops were small-time compared to going dwarf mode like the AIDA lads and the 30th Motor Rifles did… It’s unprecedented, really.

And if every Ukrainian soldier now has nightmares about Russian soldiers coming out of every pipe he sees, well, that’s even better.

The slaughter over the past few days is gut wrenching knowing it could have been avoided. Senseless deaths on both sides of some of the toughest people on the face of the earth – the Slavs. A genocidal civil war.

Never have so few, have had so much blood, on their greedy, little hands. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for dimwitted bureaucrats and corrupt politicians to do something in the name of “democracy.”

May God have mercy on their wretched souls.

🔻 WS: What this demonstrates more than anything is that the supposed divide between the US and Europe is an act. They are obviously working in close coordination with each other.

The US and its NATO vassals are clearly not willing yet to admit defeat in their war against Russia.
🔻 C2: Most of the latest developments confirm what you said. However, what happened in Syria is still a mystery. What do you think happened in Syria?
🔻 WS: I don’t know what you mean. How does this question relate to the NATO/Russia war?
🔻 C2: Interestingly, the Assad regime was overthrown in a day or two. There are those who claim that the reason Russia stopped supporting Assad was an agreement with America. In return, peace in Ukraine. Is this possible?
🔻 WS: I have heard that theory. I adamantly do not believe it.

The Russians were never committed nor prepared to defend Syria in the face of a comprehensive collapse.

One war at a time.
🔻 Matthew McCracken: The US needs to figure out how to remove itself from this situation without admitting defeat. They can hand the reigns over to the Europeans and allow them to fight Russia to the last European.
🔻 WS: Absent the US, there is zero chance “Europe” will make war against Russia. It is a physical impossibility. It cannot be done.

Nor could it be done with the US included. They simply lack sufficient capability to assemble, project, and sustain that kind of power.
🔻 Matthew McCracken: That’s right but we both know Russia’s terms – NATO must withdraw to the 97 borders. I doubt Trump can accept those terms publicly. He will need to withdraw quietly. Maybe Putin can help him save face. He can then leave it to Europe to decide if they want to accept the terms.
🔻 SaxonX: USA/EU/NATO are working on getting Romania ramped up to be the next proxy war location against Russia…that big military base they’re building is screamingly obvious as an anchor for more attacks on Russia.
🔻 WS: That’s not gonna happen. The Romanians aren’t going to fight the Russians in behalf of the Americans. And the base will, in a conflict, simply be a big, fat, static target.

🔻 C7: @BrianJBerletic made this point, too. My main question remains: the day after UA drone attacks on RU civilian targets and with the US openly stating that support for the Ukrainian military is back up to full strength, what exactly is the incentive for the Russians to cooperate?
🔻 Sergiu Darpano: The drone attack on Moskow was perfectly coordinated by Nato, remember Ukraine never does anything by itself. The US has again framed Russia.If Putin agrees to a ceasefire he will get backlash at home and if Putin rejects the ceasefire he will get the blame as warmonger from West
[and therein is the fatal miscalculation of the demented.

And Russia’s minimum terms for the cessation of this war remain unchanged from how Putin delineated them on February 21, 2022.
🔻 brko: Yes. So it probably continues. What should Russia do to make nutcases realize this is serious?
🔻 WS: The fact of the matter is that the US/NATO have no credible, practicable options.

That said, they may well be stupid enough to attempt some semblance of an air campaign.

A very brief air campaign, executed at great cost.

• Decision to ban Israeli enemy navigation through the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea has come into effect.
• Any Israeli ship crossing in the declared operational zone will be targeted, and this is a practical step and a necessary stance.
• The enemy’s actions of preventing aid from entering the Gaza Strip and closing the crossings aim to starve the Palestinian people.
• What is worse is the World Bank’s announcement that some Arab regimes are opening a land route to circumvent the Yemeni blockade against the Israeli enemy.
• criticized the Arab League’s no practical steps neither politically at the level of diplomatic boycott, nor economically, nor in any other form.
• Major Arab regimes are complicit with the Americans and Israelis and work to prevent any practical steps that serve the Palestinian cause.
• Trump administration is keen to exert more aggressive steps than those taken by Biden administration before.
• The criminal, aggressive, and unjust steps taken by the Israeli enemy are carried out with American support and Arab-Islamic inaction.
• The Arab and Islamic stance does not rise to the level of humanitarian, religious, and moral responsibility expected of this nation
• Stance of the two-billion-strong Muslim nation is not the correct stance for a nation that possesses all these capabilities and resources.
• We will move towards other escalatory steps at a high level if the Israeli enemy continues to starve the Palestinians and prevents the entry of aid.
• Banning Zionist navigation is only the first step in our position.
• American support enables Israeli enemy to take significant aggressive steps, which can only be stopped through deterrence and strong, practical stances.
• The steps taken by the Israeli enemy must be met with practical steps in response
• All practical options are on the table in response to the continued starvation of the Palestinian people
• If the Israeli enemy decided to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque or completely displace the Palestinian people, would Arab stance not go beyond statements of condemnation and denunciation!!
• America stands fully in partnership with the Israeli enemy in all its escalatory and aggressive steps, even participating in threats and intimidation against the Palestinian people
• It is everyone’s duty to support any stance that backs the Palestinian people, as long as it is a practical, actionable step that pressures the Israeli enemy
• All blame, protest, criticism, and pressure should be directed at the Israeli enemy, as it seeks to starve the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip
• Some Arab regimes harbor intense hostility towards us for our stances in support of the Palestinian people
• The Arab situation is largely one of inaction, partial complicity, cooperation with the Israeli enemy, and containment of stances
• Some Arab regimes secretly incite the Israeli enemy to take aggressive steps against the Palestinian people, and this is truly regrettable.
• Some Arab regimes give the Palestinians a statement on a piece of paper, with no practical steps behind it, while opening land routes for economic support to the enemy
• The facts expose complicity of Arab regimes through their active cooperation with the Israeli enemy
• All options are on the table in our practical preparations and for implementation if the enemy does not stop besieging and starving the Palestinians in Gaza

Treacherous Albion draws the world back into war

SVR Press Office of Russia, March 10

The press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reports that, according to data received by the SVR, the British leadership sees a threat to its interests in promoting a dialogue between the United States and Russia on resolving the Ukrainian conflict. In London, they fear that this will lead to the failure of the British strategy of “containing” Moscow, which is central to control over Ukraine. Its likely loss, according to the British, will undermine plans to create a Russophobic “belt of limitrophic states” in Europe and organize a naval “blockade” of the Russian Federation.

London is extremely annoyed that Donald Trump ” conducts a dialogue with Russia as a superpower and demonstrates disregard for its closest allies.” Starmer was stung by the US president’s” provocative question “during a joint press conference about the “ability of the British nation to stand up to the Russians alone.” Following the results of the Prime Minister’s visit to the United States, Downing Street concluded that” loyal friends ” de facto throw the British on the sidelines of the process of reformatting European and global security.

In the current situation, the British authorities consider it an “urgent priority” to undermine the “peacekeeping” efforts of the new American administration on the Ukrainian track. The media and” profile ” NGOs are tasked with demonizing Trump, presenting him as “a person with a poor track record in the field of peacemaking, vulnerable to manipulation by the Kremlin.”

At the same time, Starmer’s office is doing its best to strengthen the Kiev regime’s resilience to increasing pressure from Washington. From London, there are loud promises to send missiles, troops and aircraft to Ukraine, no matter what it costs the UK economy, which is in deep crisis. Nevertheless, on the sidelines, British politicians admit that all these intentions may turn out to be “noise out of nothing”, since without maintaining American support, they are impossible to implement.

As we can see, London today, as well as on the eve of both world wars of the last century, acts as the main “instigator” of global conflict. At the same time, the British themselves, obviously, again expect to sit out on their island. It’s time to bring them to light and send a clear message to the treacherous Albion and its elites: you won’t succeed.
