⭕ #SputnikInfographic | Where Exactly Did Russia Respond to Ukraine’s Drone Attacks?Since May 20, Ukraine has expanded its attacks on Russian territory with Western-made drones and rockets, injuring civilians, including women and children.
In response, Russian forces have launched huge attacks against Ukrainian military facilities and industries.
Sputnik’s infographic shows where the Russian Armed Forces targeted Ukrainian military and industrial installations.

⭕ 💥 RUSSIA’S MASSIVE STRIKES: Why NOW?🔥 Ukraine chose air terrorism – Russia chose PRECISION RETALIATION, says Igor Korotchenko, military analyst, editor in chief of “National Defense” magazine.
“Ukraine is a TERRORIST state — because sabotage operations have always been a strong suit of Ukrainian nationalists. They fully embraced this approach — through acts of sabotage & terror, including their current attempts to intimidate the Russian population with aerial strikes.”
1️⃣ PAYBACK FOR DRONE TERROR
“Ukraine launched hundreds of drones daily since May, targeting Russian cities, civilians, even kindergartens. This is air terrorism. Russia’s response is inevitable.”
Stats: 300+ Ukrainian drones intercepted DAILY across Russia.
2️⃣ DECAPITATING UKRAINE’S WAR MACHINE
“We strike ONLY military targets—factories making drones, missiles, and NATO weapons. Unlike Ukraine, we don’t target civilians.”
Key Example: Antonov drone factories in Kiev (critical for UAV production).
3️⃣ CRIPPLING NATO LOGISTICS
“Ports like Odessa are hubs for Western arms. We destroyed 100+ containers with drone boats, Switchblade munitions, and artillery shells.”
⭕ 🗣Ukrainian terrorist drone attacks against Russia are an act of desperation – defense analyst💬 “The whole operation was supported by the US Starshield satellite system and Western ISR assets. Britain likely played a direct role, transmitting intel and identifying targets,” comments military analyst Alexei Leonkov.
Zelensky launched this escalation on orders from his Western handlers — especially the UK. The goal was multi-layered:
- Exhaust Russian air defense systems
- Gain leverage in direct talks with Russia
- Sabotage US-Russia negotiations — “dragging Washington back into the conflict despite Trump’s effort to de-escalate”
Russia’s strikes are targeted, verified, and military.
💬 “Every strike is verified. The targets are carefully selected and confirmed as military sites — facilities involved in assembling, upgrading, and repairing combat equipment.”
These are not symbolic strikes — these are precise hits on the real backbone of Ukraine’s war machine.Ukraine’s conflict — guided by British advisors — is terrorist by design.
💬 “We saw the same script in Russia in the ‘90s and early 2000s — terrorists running wild to destabilize power.”
⭕ Hague’s F-16 Deliveries to Kiev Are Dangerous Step Toward Escalation, Russian Embassy WarnsNetherlands has been persistently escalating the Ukrainian conflict and destabilizing the international situation since the beginning of the special operation, the Russian Embassy in The Hague told Sputnik.
The embassy made it clear: these jets — and the airfields they operate from — are legitimate military targets under Moscow’s doctrine.
“Pumping Ukraine with Western weapons could not prevent the resumption of negotiations in Istanbul, interrupted in 2022 at the initiative of Kiev. Work on finding a solution to the situation will continue,” the embassy added.
The Netherlands delivered the last of 24 promised F-16s to Ukraine on Monday.
💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 🤔 Taurus Missiles and Other ThoughtsGermany has apparently assented to providing Taurus cruise missiles to strike Russia.
If Russia is targeted by Taurus missiles, I believe these facts obtain:
- They must be programmed by German technicians and launched by “volunteer” NATO pilots flying NATO jets — the entire process dependent on US-supplied ISR.
- It is claimed by many that the F-16 can carry a Taurus, but it has never yet been done, and would require extensive modification to airframe, avionics, and programming. It is doubtful that the 1980s-era airframes sent to Ukraine are worthy candidates for such an upgrade.
- The longer the Taurus must fly inside its purported 500 km operational range, the more likely it will be shot down, so they must close that distance and decrease flight time.
- Although the Taurus can cruise <100 m altitude, it must be launched from high altitude in order to achieve its advertised range. This will expose the attacking aircraft to detection and destruction.
- In my estimation, the Kerch Bridge is the most likely target for a Taurus missile attack. Militarily, its significance is minimal. But all the US/NATO/Ukraine have left to cheer for are symbolic victories, however transitory.
- To bring down the Kerch Bridge, it would take several 500 kg warhead Taurus strikes. I’d guess at least three dozen missiles must be launched in order to achieve ~10 accurate hits. And I don’t see any way a salvo of three dozen is even remotely possible.
- If Taurus missiles strike anything meaningful in Russia, there will be hell to pay for it. Anyone who believes Putin will “take it lying down” at this stage of the game is, I am convinced, woefully mistaken.
- It is not yet clear what the range of the hypersonic Oreshnik missile is, and how accurate it truly is. But Berlin is well within range of Kinzhals and Iskanders, and has no credible defense against them.
Happy Memorial Day to all my American followers. The hinge-point summer of 2025 is upon us.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: I wrote about the Taurus not long ago (March). Like many so-called “wonder weapons” before it, it’s not such a big deal after all. As usual, it’s about 80% marketing and only 20% real value.The whole story about the taurus can be expressed through a proverb from the Balkans that sums it up perfectly:
“The mountain shook—and a mouse was born.”A similar saying exists in Persian: “So much noise, and in the end, the roaring mountain gave birth to a mouse”. |link|
🔻 WS: To me, it’s just a SCALP-EG, with a little more speed and range.Still, I would not be surprised if, on its first few attempts, in a substantial salvo (12+), it is able to score a couple hits.
The Russians will then quickly calibrate and adapt.
But they will also retaliate.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: Agreed
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: Considering the earlier NATO ISR aircraft operations over the Black Sea near the Kerch Bridge, as well as the leaked audio of a conversation between German generals discussing such an operation (attached below, March 2024),I agree with your assessment that “the Kerch Bridge is the most likely target for a Taurus missile attack.”
The time delay between the discussion and execution of such an operation accounts for the time required to prepare for the operation (missile production and modifying or preparing the compatible aircraft that should be employed). |link|
🔻 StarBoySAR 🇭🇰 🇨🇳 🥭: Some additional thoughts on this; The transfer of the German Taurus stealth cruise missile to Ukraine is a significant escalation that has the potential to make Germany a direct party to the conflict in Ukraine for several reasons:In addition to the ISR provided by NATO for last-minute updates on air defense systems and target information, the Taurus cruise missile primarily depends on highly accurate terrain mapping data to reach its designated target. The positions of the latest bridge, power line, trees, buildings, and other relevant features must be accurately mapped and preprogrammed to prevent a missile crash along its flight path “as Russian electronic warfare has rendered GPS useless. They jam it”
Last year, “The Times” published an insightful article on the use of long range cruise missiles and the significance of terrain mapping data |link|
Aside from the United States, probably only the German Bundeswehr has the most precise high-resolution vector data of Russian terrain. As you already stated German technicians will program the Taurus missile using these topography data, as well as NATO’s ISR data to map out the “perfect flight path” to its intended target
On September 30, 2021, the German newspaper “Die Welt” published a piece on how the German Bundeswehr now has some of the most accurate and updated topography data for Russia.
Use Google translate |link|
The Russian Foreign Ministry recently clarified what that means:
The following is a translated quotation from Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, made during a press conference on April 18, 2025.
“❗️ Without direct assistance from Bundeswehr servicemen, live firing of these cruise missiles is impossible. A strike by them on any Russian facilities, critical transport infrastructure – and Merz confidently designated the Crimean Bridge as a target – will be regarded as direct participation of the FRG in military actions on the side of the Kiev regime with all the ensuing consequences for Germany.”

Merz….He laughed and claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) do not target civilians or civilian infrastructure in Russia, and therefore he decided to provide Kyiv with long-range Taurus missiles.
— Will Germany be supporting Ukraine in a qualitatively different way?
— I see where you’re going with this — and yes, absolutely. There are no longer any range restrictions on the weapons supplied to Ukraine — not from the British, not from the French, and not from us. The Americans have lifted theirs as well. This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, including by striking military targets on Russian territory. We call this ‘long-range fire’ — we’re talking about equipping Ukraine with weapons capable of hitting military targets deep behind enemy lines. And that represents a decisive qualitative shift in Ukraine’s war tactics. Russia is brazenly attacking civilian targets. Ukraine does not do this. And we place great importance on ensuring that it remains that way.

🔻 WS: And exactly how are these Taurus missiles going to be launched?Here are the platforms that can carry it — none of which are in the Ukraine inventory: Tornado, Gripen, F-15, F/A-18, Eurofighter Typhoon.
🔻 Caligula’s Horse: They’ll jerry something onto the F-16s or some such. Won’t matter in any case. They neither have the missiles nor launch platforms in sufficient quantity to change the trajectory. And I don’t think their drones can yet adequately saturate Russian IADS in preparation.
🔻 WS: The few times they have flown F-16s, they’ve been doing it at tree top level. To get any range out of the Taurus, they’ll need to launch them from much higher altitude, and from much closer to Russian long-range AD and fighters.
🔻 Caligula’s Horse: Ukrainians are inventive, have the whole of the Western technical-industrial brain trust behind them, and their leadership is spendthrift with their soldiers’ lives. I am confident that they’ll be able to launch some missiles as part of a more PR than military operation.
🔻 Doimo Manu: Concepts for the usage from ground and sea platforms are available. |link|
🔻 WS: Surface launching of Taurus will SIGNIFICANTLY decrease its range.In any case, there are no such capabilities at present.
🔻 Doimo Manu: I doubt that it’ll take the time to adopt TAURUS to be ground-naval launched. For instance, its cousin, the Storm Shadow missile, or SCALP-EG in France, has been developed to be launched from surface vessels and submarines. |link|
[Yet even if successful, how do these innovations and gimmicks remove the attribution to Germany and USA?? How will they get the mighty Russkie to stand down and absorb the humiliation, without commensurate and worse incineration on the sorry perpetrators? And that is the only way they get to survive launching these. That we’re even HAVING these discussion highlights how late is the hour for the EUroCrazies]
🔻 Christoffer Ekberg: Taurus cruise missiles (developed as variant CL) can be ground launched by booster accelerators. They were offered to countries but were never produced commercially
🔻 WS: Ground-launching a Taurus would significantly reduce its range. But it’s a moot issue. There is currently no means by which to ground-launch a Taurus missile.
🔻 ⏳Towhee 🌏☮️: “”Military Review” emphasizes: the main problem in the transfer of Taurus missiles to Kyiv is the issue of their carriers. Most of the Su-24s, which were part of the Ukrainian Air Force, were knocked out. And whether the F-16 will be able to carry these missiles remains unknown. At the same time, there is still no talk of transferring Panavia Tornado or Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, as well as Mirage 2000, which are adapted for Taurus launches, to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”“The magazine “Military Review” called the Taurus KEPD 350 “clearly an underestimated enemy”; according to the publication, many military bloggers are inclined to have a “hateful” attitude to the fight against these cruise missiles.
The Taurus is an air-launched cruise missile. There are two variants: the KEPD 150 and 350, which fly 150 km and 350 km respectively. Presumably, there is a variant with a range of up to 500 km. The missile travels at transonic speed at an altitude of 35-50 m above the ground and makes a “hill” before approaching the target (as, for example, the Javelin ATGM). The missile approaches the target using an inertial navigation system that includes laser gyroscopes from the American company Northrup Grumman – which is why Taurus is subject to export controls by the United States. In addition, the missile is equipped with a homing head, which provides automatic target recognition.
The “heart” of the projectile is the MEPHISTO tandem concrete-piercing warhead (weight 485 kg), which includes a shaped charge weighing about 80 kg and a high-explosive charge weighing 400 kg, the shape of which is optimized for penetrating concrete and heavy soil rocks.”

⭕ ‼️ Mike is a true expert, and always provides an understandable description of these matters.
links:
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: What likely occurred was that the battery successfully detected incoming targets and initiated a launch. The complication arose from the nature of the attack: it was a coordinated strike involving low-altitude drones timed to arrive at the target area simultaneously with ballistic or cruise missiles in their terminal phase.Once the fire control radar was activated—regardless of the specific target—it momentarily illuminated the designated airspace, allowing for initial detection. However, as soon as the radar is activated, Russian electronic warfare systems will pick up the signals. They require a maximum of 30 seconds to fully analyze and triangulate the radar’s position.
At this point, an Iskander launcher on standby, armed with one missile fitted with a high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead and another with cluster munitions, would launch as soon as the targeting coordinates were entered. Within five seconds, both missiles would be en route. From detection to launch, it can take as long as 1.5 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Patriot missile system would attempt to engage the incoming targets, likely destroying some decoys or cruise missiles—but not necessarily neutralizing all threats.
After the engagement, the fire control radar would switch to passive mode (no emissions) if it remained in position, or it would be turned off if the unit was preparing to relocate immediately. An experienced crew would require approximately 25 minutes to disconnect equipment, hitch up trailers, and vacate the position.
By that time, the Iskander missiles would already be in flight or entering their final dive. Faced with the imminent impact, the Patriot commander might order personnel to abandon their combat stations, giving soldiers 5 to 10 seconds to get out of the cpmbat stations and try to reach designated shelters located 50 to 100 meters away.
To minimize collateral damage and avoid secondary explosions from unlaunched missiles, any remaining rounds would likely be fired in autonomous mode without guidance, ensuring they clear the launcher and detonate safely away from the combat position. Occasionally, these rounds may even hit residential areas.

⭕ The Lebanese government is calling for the disarmament of Palestinians in Lebanese refugee camps. It then intends to request the disarmament of Hezbollah, at the request of the US. However, this is not necessarily expected to be achieved. If Israel fails to achieve its aims through military means, it will certainly succumb to pressure from the US and the Lebanese government to put pressure on the Lebanese resistance.
At the request of the US administration, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Lebanon to urge his supporters in the camps to hand their weapons over to the Lebanese government, despite his limited influence within the camps, including al-Fatah.

🔻 Drop Site: “Not at All”: WFP Director Rejects Claims Hamas Is Stealing Gaza AidCindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, told Face the Nation that Hamas is not stealing the aid entering Gaza. She said incidents of looting are driven by the desperation of starving civilians.
The interview marked the first time in nearly 12 weeks that a major U.S. Sunday show directly addressed the U.S.-Israeli starvation siege on over 2 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
McCain warned that more than 500,000 people face famine, calling it “a man-made catastrophe.” While Israel has recently allowed limited aid trucks in, she said it’s “a drop in the bucket” compared to the 600 trucks entering daily during the ceasefire. Inconsistent access continues to block relief, especially in the north.
McCain also addressed Israel’s plan to route U.S. food aid through “safe zones” controlled by the Israeli military and private American contractors.

⭕ 🇱🇾 Libyans demanded the withdrawal of American and Italian forces from the country, as well as compensation for damage caused by NATO in 2011I deliberately did not cover the protests that began in Tripoli against the head of the NUP Abd al-Hamid al-Dbeiba, since it is always clear how they will end. But this time, something new appeared in them that is worth paying attention to.
These protests were the first to call for the elimination of the causes of the problem, not just its solution. And the Libyans named the Italian and American military and political presence in the west of the country as the cause of their problems. The local media even wrote: if we eliminate the cause, we will eliminate the problem. According to the people, it is those who support al-Dbeibah militarily and politically, namely the Americans and Italians, who need to be removed, and not him himself, since he is only an instrument of Western interests. If he is gone, someone else will be installed.
Another interesting thing happened. During a protest outside the UN Support Mission in Libya, protesters blamed the West for the destruction of the country in 2011, demanding compensation. Incidentally, a reparations movement has recently emerged in Libya, demanding compensation for the destruction of the country by NATO in 2011.
I am attaching to the post examples of images that went viral in the Libyan segment on the eve of the protests.
⭕ 🇱🇾🇹🇷 The head of the Government of National Unity was able to take 400 million dollars from Libya to TurkeyAmerican media reports that just last week, under the control of the head of the GNA, Abd al-Hamid al-Dbeibah, about 400 million dollars in cash were taken out to Turkey.
It is specified that the money was transported in different batches on Libyan Airlines planes from Misrata airport. In addition, al-Dbeibah re-registered dozens of villas and land plots in the prestigious area of Tripoli – al-Andalus to his relatives. For example, the cost of one of the villas re-registered to his son-in-law is about 9 million dollars.
According to the publication, al-Dbeibah is trying to preserve his fortune in this way before his possible imminent departure from the post of the head of the Government under the pressure of the incessant rallies against him. I don’t quite agree with this. He has been sending money to Turkey almost from the very moment of his appointment, and the crowd on the street, even if it burns a million tires on the roads, will never overthrow him until those who installed him need it.
On video: traditional Libyan protest entertainment – burning tires and blocking roads with embankments.

This issue between Mali and Algeria is heartbreaking. The ancient arabs have an old saying, “me against my brother, my brother and I against our cousin; my brother, I and our cousin against the outsider”. This appears applicable to most neighbors worldwide on a geopolitical historical view.. How many centuries of such deranged wars between the Anglos and the French? The Russkies in Novorossiya still go at it today, to detriment of both! The Indians and Pakistanis..
I haven’t followed this specific issue closely, except to note (1) Algeria is not a friend to terrorists, and (2) both remain afflicted with Frenchie intrigue to this day. Several times after Algeria gained independence, the West sicced the salafi Horde on them. So they would be among the last to sponsor them. And only Frenchie (and zionazis) benefit from Mali and Algeria being hostile to each other.
How was it done?
I suspect the Tuareg desert bedouins, largely berber like Algerians, are surreptitiously supported by proud Algerians who refuse to recognize the 1885 Berlin Conference borders. Yet these Tuaregs are largely being instrumentalized by the West to destabilize Mali and the Sahel. Most of the 404 arms ratlines cross through the Sahara into the Sahel at Algerian-Libyan southern borders. Mali rightfully demands its sovereignty be respected and this plague halted. Algerians refuse to see the Tuaregs massacred, as the AES increasingly are forced to in order to halt Forever Wars.
So British Borders, and “freedom fighters” (to one side) and “terrorists” to the other side. And a glum Russkie in between. General Armageddon is HQ’ed in Algeria. And the Russian Army openly defends Mali and the AES! What a mess.
So at the heart is resolving British Borders, giving rights to what are minorities in most Saharan countries, but actually number in millions, spread all over, and supporting each other to detriment of entire region – like the Kurds, who also today largely serve Zion.

I would be interested to know whether you or historians reading this thread are aware of a hegemon retreating voluntarily.
The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) and brought peace to the Holy Roman Empire, closing a blood-besotted period of European history that killed approximately eight million people.

At the risk of seeming self-serving, I do a deep dive on this in my WarNotes podcast, Ep 002 “Fixing Fight Club: The Hegemon Steps Back”.

Will Israel compromise on these points? I consider that highly unlikely. Still, without US support, I don’t see the Israelis being able or willing to attempt air strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.
🔻 Girum®: whatever the action and whoever the backers, it is doomed to fail. A zero-enrichment proposal is a non-starter – full stop. Those pushing it lack the leverage to impose it. None whatsoever. 😎
🔻 Ephemeral: Israel has unconditional US support so it does indeed smell of war
🔻 Warezthebeef: Seriously, the West dictating to the world who can do what whilst breaking all the rules.
🔻 Nader N. CHOKR: We are dealing with psychopaths and insane people. Not rational actors. Does your analysis factor this in?
⭕ ✡️ “Thou art a bloody man.”Purportedly reliable public opinion polls in Israel attest a large majority of Israelis supports the annihilation of the Palestinians.
By that same measure will the house of Judah be purged before the King of Kings deigns to save the remnant.
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: I would like to share two related thoughts on this topic:(1) Humans are social beings, highly susceptible to — and significantly influenced by — propaganda amplified through peer pressure: from a psychological perspective, group interactions — such as cooperation, cohesion, and conformity — are driven by survival instincts. Studies have shown that individuals often align their behaviors or beliefs with group norms due to social pressure, even when they know the group is wrong. Resisting group consensus often requires considerable courage, independent thinking, or traits associated with neurodiverse personalities.
(2) From an anthropological perspective, religion and the state are foundational institutions of civilization, conceived to complement each other in fostering societal stability and cohesion: religion provides moral and cultural frameworks as well as psychological comfort during struggles, societal uniformity & harmony, while the state ensures governance, order, and societal development. Their roles vary slightly across cultures, with some societies substituting religion with philosophical or traditional practices, such as Confucianism in historical China. Both institutions are susceptible to dysfunction, corruption, or deviation from their intended societal roles.
Further exploration of these points, particularly the interplay of religion and the state, is inspired but beyond the scope of this post.
Finally, these insights, combined with a balanced understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli struggle, provide a robust foundation for drawing informed conclusions.
⭕🤔“Revitalizing the US economy through manufacturing growth, self-reliance in as many sectors as possible …”“Never short America.”
That’s been a good trade for much of my life.
But the parameters of the equation aren’t what they used to be.
What’s the time horizon, Ross?

🔻 HUNTSMAN 🇺🇲: Depends on the metric of success, which is highly individuated.For some, they’re already satisfied.
For me, the work will never be done.
For most, 12-24 months or so.
YMMV and as always, this is just my personal opinion. But I believe in my bones in the mission and vision.
🔻 WS: Wow!If you genuinely believe US manufacturing and self-reliance can be meaningfully restored in a year or two … well, I can only shake my head in befuddled disbelief.
In my view, it is utterly delusional to believe a disaster decades-in-the-making can be fixed in a year.
🔻 HUNTSMAN 🇺🇲: The blue sky will necessarily take numerous years to reach – anything durable takes time to build and put down deep roots.At the same time, I don’t think most people except full-scale recovery of the American industrial base in that shorter timeframe.
I do think they want to see meaningful steps solidified and new economic growth happening (legitimate, not just FAANG stock increases), which I believe we will see in 12-18 months…a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.
Could be wrong, but I’m in the arena pushing every day alongside many amazing people.
🔻 WS: Fair enough, Ross.I will keep watching developments with great interest, even as I continue to believe:
📜 The Ashes Will Come First
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: In support of your point, Will, the Trump administration has declared a tariff war against the EU, while “the U.S. manufacturing industry relies significantly on advanced equipment and technology from the EU and Japan, particularly in sectors such as semiconductors and automotive production, where the U.S. seeks to expand its manufacturing capacity substantially.”Additional insights: |link|
🔻 Decelerationist1: These people are completely delusional. They’re engaging in wishcasting, hoping the whipsaw of their daily oscillating carrot/stick bribe generator will somehow overcome the investment, training, labor, and supply chain cost overhead of onshoring
⭕🔻 Armchair Warlord: It’s not even imminent, it’s present. With this latest murder in Spain, the Ukrainian GUR having a Western-facing attack network isn’t even a matter for speculation at this point, it’s simply confirmed.Let’s review:
– Robert Fico of Slovakia shot, barely survives
– Four separate Ukraine-linked attacks on Donald Trump’s person or property (that we know of)
– Three Ukrainians try to burn down Keir Starmer’s home
– Lately, Andriy Portnov murdered in SpainThese are just what I could come up with off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s many more suspicious incidents in the West linked to Ukraine in the last three years. You notice that it’s only Ukraine-skeptical politicians who are having to duck every time they go out in public.
Now, you may claim that Keir Starmer is a friend of Ukraine, but it’s also worth noting that he wasn’t shot. They went after his property, likely to send a message in case he ceases to be a friend of Ukraine. Although now that I’m thinking about it, what is actually rather interesting is that this attack happened after he (sensing a level of political danger that no level of electoral “fortification” could fix after Labour was thrashed in local elections) shifted right on immigration issues, flouting Davos Regime policy.
This suggests to me that, to an extent at least, the GUR’s Western attack network is not just being used to strike at Western leaders seen as being enemies of the Maidanite state, but also being used as a cat’s paw by Davos to threaten or eliminate their Western opponents in general – even in matters that have nothing at all to do with Ukraine. After all, the network exists and can launch effective attacks, and the Ukrainians rarely ask questions of their Western puppeteers. |link|
🔻 WS: You know what occurs to me? There are going to be a lot of hired guns willing to get in on the “Banderite Safari” that the Russians will be funding for the next several years. They’ll put the Mossad to shame.
🔻 blindpig/1966: Good. I hope they travel across Europe in their search for Nazis.
🔻 Ranchero 🎠: One of the greatest villains in cinema, hands down. Javier Bardem absolutely crushed that role. I don’t know if it’s the haircut or that eerie calm of his, but there’s something deeply unsettling about his presence. Thanks for reminding me of this masterpiece.
⭕ ‼️ Yes, this is just a video simulation … but it is also the very sort of thing one can imagine being well within the scope of Chinese capabilities: swarms of hundreds of loitering drones hovering over a battlefield — on land or at sea. |link|

Patrick Wood is solid, a thorough and easy to understand educator who has tracked Technocracy for decades. This movement arose in 1920s or so, the vehicle of eugenicist Yanquis – the same sort that received the baton from the British Empire and inspired the European nazis.He details the duping of the MAGA bobbleheads here – instead of less gov, more protections, less intrusion, Orange’s wrecking crew is insidious Biden on steroids, using a different lingo, costume and perfume… and could the USUK Oligarchy afford to play nice in the heat of WWIII and the A.I. Wars with the civilizational-states?? So it remains “continuity of government” and all entails
