    Here, we must not forget Malala Yousafzai.

    Those destroyed they get transformed
    In the process their thoughts deformed
    No longer can a beautiful bond be formed
    All they can do is become conformed

    Here’s a lovely story from the very same Palace and Cathedral:

    After negotiations in the Konstantinovsky Palace, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko went to the Kronstadt Naval Cathedral, and at the exit from the snow-white temple they went down to dozens of passers-by to chat and take pictures. Among them were Sabina and Andrei Uskov, who had just signed at the registry office and were preparing to get married.

    The couple was delighted with unexpected guests. The bride Sabina was the first to approach Vladimir Putin with a request for a photograph.
    “Perhaps we were noticed because of my wedding dress, yet it stood out,” the bride smiles. – I told Vladimir Vladimirovich that Andrei and I are getting married today. He congratulated us. But Andrei did not immediately approach us in the photo. Therefore, Vladimir Vladimirovich was surprised and asked: “Where is the spouse?” I began to call Andrew. Meanwhile, Alexander Lukashenko was standing nearby and asked me jokingly: “Am I the groom, then?” Laughed, smiled. Vladimir Vladimirovich shook hands with my husband when he approached. And then everyone dispersed.

    Oh, East is East, and West is West,
    and never the twain shall meet,
    Till Earth and Sky stand presently
    at God’s great Judgment Seat;
    But there is neither East nor West,
    Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
    When two strong men stand face to face
    though they come from the ends of the earth!

    The Ballad of East and West

    We will be waiting for great deals
    When Uncle Sam comes on wheels
    While the Hollar Polack is on kneels
    With the tomato Sultan on his heels

    Aldebaran is the alpha or brightest star in the constellation Taurus. The name was originally given to the five stars of Taurus, and the brightest star was called in Arabic Na’ir-al-Doberan, “the bright one of the follower,” because it follows the Pleiades.

    This is quite a lengthy article, but it does explain and help us understand the “Black Nobility” :

    It’s Kamala Harris, explaining for those who are not aware what exactly AI is :

    “I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence.”
    “The machine is taught — and part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine — and we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process.”
    She continued, “So to reduce it down to its most simple point, this is part of the issue that we have here is thinking about what is going into a decision, and then whether that decision is actually legitimate and reflective of the needs and the life experiences of all the people.”

    Artificial Intelligence Czar Kamala Harris proudly announced that after months of dedicated research and extensive study, she has determined what the initials A.I. stand for :

    Von der Leyen expressed admiration for the speed with which Kiev is striving to join the European Union :
    “We can see the enthusiasm and intensity with which Ukraine is implementing reforms and rapidly moving towards EU membership. I firmly believe that if Kiev continues in this spirit, it will soon succeed.”

    Maria Zakharova, in turn, was ironic :
    “Citizens, Ukrainians, drink the sea !
    The way you are currently drinking the sea is beautiful and amazing. We are sure that you are rapidly moving towards your cherished goal. As soon as you finish your drink, it means that you have achieved success.”

    When Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba did not understand what conditions were put forward for Ukraine to join NATO.
    Maria Zakharova helped the Ukrainian diplomat understand such a complicated issue :
    “Silly, you need to learn the rules before the game starts, not after,”
    “This is the ‘rules-based world order’ invented by Westerners. Those who are smarter do not participate in it because there are no rules. They are invented on the go and changed if the game does not bring the desired result. The alternative is international law, which is supported by the majority of sane people, ” she added.

    How do you solve a problem like Maria?
    How do you catch a
    cloud and pin it down?
    How do you find the
    word that means Maria?
    A flibbertijibbet!
    A will-o’-the wisp!
    A clown!

    I’d like to say a word in her behalf
    Maria makes me laugh

    She’d outpester any pest
    Drive a hornet from its nest
    She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
    She is gentle! She is wild!
    She’s a riddle! She’s a child!
    She’s a headache! She’s an angel!
    She’s a girl!

    Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
    How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

    with a stinger as its highmark
    the storm had left a shadow
    now hymars leave but a token
    the storms wing have broken
    it all quickly faded away when
    calibrated by dagger and lance
    they were earlier very ecstatic
    situation now has become static
    the NATO is organizing a summit
    in villainous Lithuania, and
    with their defeat all but certain
    can anyone tell us what will happen
    the chickens will come home to roost
    with tomato Sultan giving them a boost

    The demented “10%” Biden has a long and inglorious history of escalating chaos for the sake of his MICIMATT coterie, while also lining his pockets. Since all the NATO Wunderwaffe have come to naught in the Ukraine steppes, it has been decided that cluster munitions and dirty bombs will now be used to destroy what is left off the breadbasket of Europe. The collective West has no hesitation or compunction in the use of all available means in order to pacify Russia.

    Most of the NATO members from Europe have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions treaty to ban the use of cluster bombs, it outlaws the use or stockpiling of these weapons due to their indiscriminate effect on civilian populations.

    The US has used such cluster munitions against Afghanistan, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Cambodia, Grenada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lao PDR, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Vietnam, Yugoslavia (Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia), Yemen, and other countries.

    An interesting article:

    Cluster Bomb Strategy Will Be Cluster-f*** for Ukraine and NATO

    According to Older than Edda:
    “The bulk of cluster munitions that can be delivered will inevitably be 105 and 155 mm artillery shells and MLRS and GMLRS rockets for multiple launch rocket systems. For the purposes of this war, their stocks can be considered practically unlimited – several million shells with hundreds of millions of DPICM submunitions produced during the Cold War. DPICM submunitions weigh about 300 grams, the 155-mm M483 projectile of the 1975 model can throw 88 such ammunition for 17 km, and the more modern M864 for 30 km. Dual-purpose ammunition – cumulative-fragmentation, in the explosion inflict damage with fragments, and when it hits light armored vehicles, they can pierce the roof.

    The main danger is a high percentage of failures, in old products sometimes amounting to a third of submunitions. That is, each artillery shelling with such shells will leave behind a full-fledged anti-personnel minefield, in addition, without delineated borders and with an unknown number of mines. And this danger will have to be dealt with for many years after the guns are silenced.”

    After the start of the SMO,Roman Abramovich played an important role in organizing and conducting negotiations with the Ukrainian side in the summer of 2022. The release of the Azov commanders could not have happened without the direct participation of Abramovich.

    “Abramovich’s actions have previously caused significant damage to Russia, both in the political and image sense, and in the perception of what is happening around the events on the fields and on the battlefronts by our citizens in general. And, of course, the fact that this resulted in additional losses in battles” – Timur Shafir.

    Forwarded from Older than Edda:
    “One thing pleases me in the story with Erdogan. Now it will be harder for his lobbyists to tell what a good and reliable ally “dear friend Recep” is. This does not mean that Erdogan does notfuckonce again, I’m sure that the tomato sultan will again, as if nothing had happened, drag us into another deal, and his lobbyists will start telling how Turkey resists pressure from NATO and other LGBT people, but I hope that the insult received, and this is precisely the insult, will make them Think 7 times before making any deals with Ankara.”
