  "Impasse, Deadlock" says The Washington Post describing the outcome of the high-level US-Russia talks Monday, with a tone of self-congratulation (we told you so), tinged with wishful thinking.
  Yes, wishful thinking. Given the very high stakes, the media is a huge part of the problem, since they keep millions in the dark about the real world and hinder progress toward reducing US-Russian tensions. This should come as no surprise, since the corporate media are part - indeed the linchpin of - the MICIMATT (Military-Industrial-Congressional- Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex that profiteers on war). The Post and other Establishment media are doing their level best - against growing odds - to be consistent.
  
• BREAKING NEWS - URGENT: RUSSIA DECLARES NATO TALKS "FAILURE" SAYS WILL USE MILITARY MEANS - Jan 12, 2022
  US-led NATO military bloc has reverted to full Cold War strategy of "containment" towards Russia and seeks "full spectrum dominance" - talks are a fail" according to Russian Foreign Ministry speakers.
  Russia made clear before the scheduled meetings that in such an event, it has no choice but to create counter-threats & use "military and military- technical means."
  NATO claims they pressed Russia to "prove" they weren't going to invade Ukraine, but got no answer. Yet the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grushko said that Ukraine was discussed with NATO, the Russian Federation has a clear position: "If Minsk-2 is fulfilled, there will be no threats to the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
• NATO SEEKS TO 'CONTAIN' RUSSIA, THERE'S 'NO ROOM FOR COMMON POSITIVE AGENDA,' TOP DIPLOMAT SAYS - Jan 12, 2022
  Russian and NATO officials met in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss security proposels put forth by the Russian Foreign Ministry in December aimed at cooling tensions between Moscow and the Western bloc. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has said the alliance won't give up its open door policy, or its right to beef up troop numbers near Russia.
  Wednesday's meeting of the Russia-NATO Council was open and direct, but there were many disagreements, and the Western alliance has demonstrated through the recent diplomatic spat over accreditation rights that there is no room for a common positive agenda, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko has said.
  "Today's meeting was devoted precisely to the analysis of the factors affecting the degradation of European security which we have observed in recent years," Grushko said, speaking to reporters Wednesday after the conclusion of the meeting.
  One of these factors, the diplomat noted, is NATO's constant expansion toward Russia over the past two-and-a-half decades. "Let me remind you that in 1997 there was only one country sharing a border with Russia knocking on NATO's door: Poland. Today, many countries have joined the alliance, and their territory is being openly used to project power against Russia from various geographic locations and into its strategic interior," he said.
  "This seriously worsens our security and creates unacceptable risks for our security which we will confront," Grushko added. Moscow, he said, will have "no choice" but to implement a policy of 'counter-containment' and 'counter-intimidation' "if we fail to reverse the current, very dangerous course of events."
  Grushko stressed that the Russian side informed its NATO counterparts at Wednesday's meeting "very honestly, directly, without trying to get around sharp corners or using politically correct formulas...that a further worsening of the situation could lead to the most unpredictable and dire consequences for European security." Russia, he said, is not in favour of such a scenario.

  Amid stalled talks between Russia and NATO over what is effectively a novel split of Europe into geopolitical sphere of influence, Russia has decided to take the show on the road and demonstrate to the US what it feels like to be surrounded by military bases along your borders, and on Thursday, after saying talks with the U.S. over the security situation in Ukraine had stalled, Russia’s deputy foreign minister suggested that Moscow could dispatch a military deployment to Venezuela and Cuba, as the Kremlin seeks to pressure Washington to respond to its demands to halt Western military activity that it says threatens Russia.

  NEW YORK, January 14. /TASS/. The behavior of the US and NATO during talks on security guarantees with Russia in Geneva and Brussels brought the world closer to the brink of the nuclear war and further consultations can be useful only in case the West changes its approaches, representative of the Schiller Institute in New York Richard Black told TASS.
• US THREATENS RUSSIA AGAIN WITH "DECISIVENESS" IF THEY MOVE TROOPS TO CUBA - Jan 14, 2022
  The American authorities would act "decisively" if Russia deployed its military to Latin America, the White House said on Thursday, following suggestions that Moscow could station some of its troops in Venezuela or Cuba.
  United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan called the idea "bluster in the public commentary" and noted that the deployment of Russian military infrastructure to Latin America was not a point of discussion at the recent Russia-US Strategic Stability Dialogue in Geneva.
• INSANITY RULES IN WASHINGTON - Jan 14, 2022
  Russia did not invade Ukraine in 2014. Washington did when the US overthrew the democratically elected government and put in its place a US puppet state hostile to Russia. One of the main goals of Washington’s coup in Ukraine was to deprive Russia of her Black Sea naval base. Russia forestalled this by accepting the 97% vote in Crimea to return to Russia of which Crimea had been a constituent part for three centuries.
  When an Undersecretary of State feels secure standing in front not only of the US media, but also the world media, and spewing obvious blatant lies, we have all the proof needed that Washington lives in its own make- believe world.
  Consequently, Washington is going to be bitten very hard by the real world.

  Peskov's suggestion appeared to be that if Washington refused to take seriously Russia's demands of committing to no further NATO eastward expansion, and that if the US continues to get more deeply involved in Ukraine, drastic options would still be available from Russia's perspective.
  In the CNN interview to be broadcast Sunday, Peskov described: "We have too much tension on the border [with Ukraine]. We have too much tension in this part of Europe. It drags [in] more problems automatically. It is extremely dangerous for our continent," he told the host of the 'Fareed Zakaria GPS' show.
  Peskov decried the current atmosphere where the West is blowing off Russia's legitimate security concerns, and seems unwilling to compromise: "This is the reason we are insisting on receiving a direct response." He said that his side in good faith offered "extremely specific proposals" - presented to Washington and Brussels in the form of the draft 'security guarantees' earlier this month.
• QUANTIFYING THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MILITARIES - Jan 16, 2022
  With Russian military build up around Ukraine and increasingly aggressive posturing from the Kremlin, the chances of at least one of the world's most powerful militaries applying its strength in a major new conflict appear to be at their highest for some time. Diplomatic efforts have so far failed, and it now remains to be seen how Russia will act. Elsewhere, the risk of China and the United States clashing in some form over Taiwan remains ever-present.
• CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS 2.0? PUTIN MAY PUT HYPERSONIC MISSILES, TROOPS IN CUBA, VENEZUELA, AS NATO DEPLOYS FORCES CLOSER TO RUSSIA - Jan 17, 2022
  The world has always been a dangerous place, but geopolitically speaking, it has become much more unstable under the 'leadership' of Joe Biden, a president who proves daily he is incapable of being commander-in-chief because he can barely speak and function.
  When Donald Trump was president, sure, he sent out 'mean tweets,' but he also quite obviously commanded respect from our enemies and near-peer competitors. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping did not threaten their neighbors like they are now threatening Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively; North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with Trump and did not advance his nuclear weapons program, but has since resumed it. Ditto Iran; Biden's "strategy," in fact, is to blame Trump.
  In fact, the Biden regime is so bad at geopolitics and foreign policy that America is now facing a Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0.

  During negotiations between Russia and the United States on security issues, it became known that the Russian side announced that it intended to deploy nuclear weapons near the American borders. This is probably about Cuba and Venezuela, as previously stated.
  However, if Russia deploys nuclear weapons in Cuba and Venezuela, there is a very significant risk that US nuclear weapons could appear in Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere, triggering a very serious crisis.

  Washington will not be 'intimidated' by 'aggressive' Russian brainstorming about putting military hardware or even nuclear-tipped missiles near the United States, US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has said.

  Against the background of the statements from Russian officials about the possible deployment of a Russian military contingent near US borders, the United States and NATO paid special attention to the manoeuvres of the three Russian warships. The capabilities of the above-mentioned vessels are sufficient to transport both nuclear and non-nuclear missile weapons.

  Second, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has unveiled in a speech before UK parliament delivered Monday that Britain will send Ukraine weapons as part of a new defense assistance package in order to help "defend its borders" against Russian aggression.
• UKRAINE. CALM BEFORE STORM - Jan 18, 2022
  On January 17, the ex-president of Ukraine, a well-known oligarch Petro Poroshenko, returned to the country. Poroshenko faced a criminal case opened under the articles 'high treason' and 'assistance to the activities of terrorist organizations.' In particular, it concerns the purchase of coal from the Donbas. According to the investigation, the ex- president created a criminal group and disrupted coal supplies from South Africa in the fall of 2014. A month ago, the State Bureau of Investigation tried to serve a subpoena on the ex-president and summon him for questioning, but Poroshenko evaded receiving the document and immediately fled abroad.
  He did not waste time. His team managed to mobilize ultranationalist forces and the masses dissatisfied with the policy of the current Ukrainian president, the former comedian Zelensky.
  Apparently, Poroshenko received certain guarantees by Euro-Atlantic elites.

• U.S. INSANE IF IT IMAGINES IT CAN AND SHOULD CONFRONT RUSSIA OVER UKRAINE - Jan 19, 2022
  Crimea merely returned to its historic relationship with Russia by the overwhelming vote of its people, some 97% out of some 85% eligible voter turnouts.
  Q: How do you see the Western media's hype over the Russia-Ukraine dispute?
  A: In my entire life, I have never seen the American and Western media selling a more diabolical package of lies than in this situation, with the literal survivability of the planet potentially at stake if a Third World War should ignite. The entire face-off over Ukraine is entirely due to the illegitimate and illegal overthrow of the duly elected government of that country by the United States and the European Union in February of 2014.
  This coup d'etat with key players Obama, Biden, Hilary Clinton, and Victoria Nuland, was motivated by the desire of Western central banks to preempt a legitimate deal offered to Ukraine by Russia in both banking and trade. The other unmistakable motivation is the ongoing encirclement of Russia by NATO and the continued deployment of its naval forces, conventional troops, and missiles ever closer to the Russian homeland.
• IS AN ALL-OUT RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR ABOUT TO BREAK OUT - Jan 19, 2022
  But some military experts doubt that the Russian military assets in the western part of the country are nearly enough for an actual war with Ukraine, considering the size of Kiev’s own armed forces.
  Ukraine has a significant standing army, has pushed some structural reforms as part of its aspiration to join NATO, and has been conducting regular exercises and training with Western troops and military advisors. Kiev has also invested heavily in land warfare capabilities over the past several years. It has produced, purchased, or received as aid a significant number of anti-tank weapons and has significantly boosted its drone capability, including by buying Turkish strike drones.
  There is little doubt that Russia could overwhelm Ukraine in an all-out conflict, thanks to its virtually unchallenged air and naval superiority, but the question remains how a war would benefit Russian national security.
• THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED "CALL OF DUTY" IN REAL LIFE ARE GETTING WORRIED - Jan 19, 2022
  On which note, Russia's amphibious landing fleet just left the Baltic and is heading for the Black Sea, as its missiles continue to roll West. Yesterday also saw an unusually large number of US navy vessels and aircraft leave harbour/home base. The US now flags a joint threat to Ukraine from Belarus-Russia, who can easily pincer it, as Kyiv calls up 130,000 reservists to supplement its 246,000-strong army. Moscow rejected a NATO offer of further talks, no doubt as playing for time in the hope spring’s mud drives fears of war into it too: yet there have been Russian rumblings that if the US continues to ignore its demands, it may deploy tactical nuclear weapons close to the US mainland, which would take us straight to Cuban Missile Crisis territory. Against this backdrop, US Secretary of State Blinken travels to Kyiv then Berlin before meeting his Russian counterpart in Geneva. We shall see how much diplomacy is in all this shuttling, but it worries lots (though not all) of the people who usually don’t worry: the ones who played 'Call of Duty' in real life.

  Massive US/Allies warships deployment Jan 15 - Jan 19 2022
• US HAS STEPPED UP AIRCRAFT CARRIER DEPLOYMENTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA - Jan 19, 2022
  The US military have drastically reinforced their military deployment in the South China Sea since last year, in terms of training scales, sorties and scenarios," SCSPI director Hu Bo said Friday, according to The South China Morning Post.
  Hu said that the carrier training patterns have become "more complicated and unpredictable." In the past, US warships typically entered the South China Sea through the Bashi Channel, a waterway between the Philippines and Taiwan. But Hu said over the past year, the US has diversified its routes, and the time span of the deployments varies.
  The US shows no sign of slowing down its carrier deployments to the South China Sea. The US Navy's Seventh Fleet said Monday that the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson just wrapped up joint operations in the disputed waters with an amphibious group led by the USS Essex, a landing helicopter dock ship.
• AMERICA IS VERY UNSTABLE – Dr. Paul Craig Roberts - Jan 19, 2022
• ONLY COLD WAR FOOLS HIT REPLAY ON DOOMSDAY - Jan 20, 2022
  I can tell you one thing with certainty: our generals know one word and it's not "win," it's more. More nuclear missiles. More nuclear bombers. They'll never get enough. The same is true of certain members of Congress and the president. So, the American people need to learn two words, no more, and say them repeatedly to those same generals and their enablers, when they come asking for almost $2 trillion for that nuclear modernization program of theirs.
  In that spirit, I ask you to join a young Air Force lieutenant as he walks past Cheyenne Mountain's massive blast door and down the long tunnel. Join him in taking a deep breath as you exit that darkness into clear crystalline skies and survey the city lights beneath you and the pulse of humanity before you. Another night's duty done; another night that nuclear war didn't come; another day to enjoy the blessings of this wonder-filled planet of ours.
  America's new cold war puts those very blessings, that wonder, in deep peril. It's why we must walk ever so boldly out of tunnels built by fear and greed and never return to them. We need to say "no more" to new nuclear weapons and recommit to the elimination of all such weaponry everywhere. We had a chance to embark on such a journey 30 years ago in the aftermath of the first Cold War. We had another chance when Barack Obama was elected. Both times we failed.
  It's finally time for this country to succeed in something again— something noble, something other than the perpetuation of murderous war and the horrific production of genocidal weaponry. After all, only fools replay scenarios that end in doomsday.

  "My guess is he will move in," Biden said of Putin's calculation on launching an attack.
• ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEH - Jan 20, 2022
  The far more significant points raised by President Biden, however, were arguably over Russia-Ukraine. This did not even get an initial headline from Bloomberg – but, trust me, many headlines are likely to follow if one follows what was and wasn’t said, including that:
  • "My guess is he will move in. He has to do something," for those thinking this was all a bluff. Russia has "overwhelming military superiority," for those thinking the Ukrainian army might put up a fight with the aid being delivered by the UK (not Germany; and as bureaucracy slows up the Baltic states' request to ship some of their stock of US arms to Kyiv).
  • NATO is not yet aligned in terms of its responseto a Russian invasion.
  • There won't be a military response. US Secretary of State Blinken yesterday warned Ukraine of difficult days ahead, but that it "stands with them". He didn't add "Just much further away."
  • If Russia invades, its banks will not be allowed to use US dollars – so SWIFT sanctions. However, such enormous "short-term market destabilization" is reportedly not agreed to by the EU. Could Russian energy, food, and metals be exempt, or EU-Russia trade switch to EUR, and China-Russia trade to CNY? Again, hardly the stick it seems without full global agreement.
  • "It's one thing if it’s a minor incursion and we end up fighting about what to do and not do. If they actually do what they’re capable of doing...it’s going to be a disaster for Russia." President Biden has infamously misspoken before: he immediately clarified he was talking about the difference between a cyberattack or grey-zone attack and a military move.
  Such poor communication from central banks rightly roils markets: from presidents talking about war and SWIFT, this should be even more the case – if only the financial press could understand the gravity of what is implied. Or just pay attention to it. Indeed, in a much sharper comment Biden added if Russia invades Ukraine, it will be "the most consequential thing that has happened in the world, in terms of war and peace, since WW2."

  Russia and Iran have unveiled plans to hold maritime joint naval exercises with China on Friday. The somewhat rare naval drills will take place in the northern Indian Ocean, and is part of a pattern of clearly deepening cooperation between the unlikely allies at a moment each is facing intense pressure from Washington, including US sanctions.
  It's the third time such drills have taken place between the three powers, with the last taking place Feb.2021. Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency cited a military commander who said the drills are to "strengthen security and its foundations in the region." Further Iran as called it part of ongoing "anti--piracy operations" and toward ensuring "safe navigation".

  During the segment Gabbard identified that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan are central parts of the problem. She argued that they are well-known supporters of "regime change wars":
  "Unfortunately, in this White House, we have warmongers and people like Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken, who had a very strong hand in being the architects of regime change wars in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria and they're the ones who are influencing the decisions being made by this White House," she said.
  Interestingly, Biden himself has appeared less hawkish than his own top staff. For example, both Jen Psaki and Blinken this week have claimed Russia is poised to invade Ukraine "at any point".
  And yet during his solo press conference Q&A on Wednesday, Biden made it abundantly clear that he thinks Putin hasn't made up his mind yet. Biden also came under severe criticism from within his own party when he suggesteddisunity within NATO over how to respond:

  The poll, which was conducted in partnership with the Convention of States Action, found that less than 1-in-5 support putting U.S. troops on the ground if Russia invades Ukraine, while less than 1-in-3 think that the U.S. should provide military advisers, weapons, or supplies.

In a move the West would without doubt see as a huge political provocation, there's a push among pro-Kremlin lawmakers to formally recognize the independence of the war-torn, Russian speaking region from Ukraine.
  Further, such an action would likely trigger the biggest flare-up in fighting since 2014 and 2015. Reuters reports additionally that "Russian- backed separatists in east Ukraine would expect Russia's army to fight with them against Ukrainian government forces if Moscow follows through on a parliamentary proposal to recognize their independence, a pro- Kremlin lawmaker said on Thursday."

"State Department orders families of U.S. embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday: U.S. officials," Fox's Lucas Tomlinson reports.
  It first emerged Friday that the Biden administration was mulling a plan to evacuate diplomats' family members from Ukraine as a "precautionary measure" amid the continued crisis wherein Washington has predicted some level of a Russian offensive on the Ukraine border. It's unclear whether this means US intelligence has picked up on a particular new "threat" from Russia near Ukraine's borders.
  As Tomlinson reports further, Russian fighter jets on Friday into Saturday began arriving in nearby Belarus, with US officials expressing alarm that Ukraine's capital is "now in the crosshairs".

We are talking only about the first wave of attack, which should either make Kiev think about stopping the escalation, or lead to a subsequent wave of attack.

Though without offering anything in the way of specific proof for the bombshell claims, we are even told who specifically Moscow has in mind to install as a pro-Russia puppet, according to the unprecedented accusations.
• GERMANY ROILED BY "POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE": NAVY CHIEF RESIGNS AFTER SAYING "PUTIN DESERVES RESPECT", WARNING CHINA IS "NOT A NICE COUNTRY - Jan 22, 2022
  Just as the covid narrative is slowly disintegrating even as its MSM propaganda powers "cancel" anyone who dares to speak out against the lies - so the "Russia is about to invade Ukraine" plotline just suffered a major blow after the chief of Germany's navy, vice-admiral Kay-Achim Schonbach, said on Friday that Crimea "will never come back", and that what Putin "really wants is respect...and it is easy to give him the respect he really demands - and probably deserves."
  And sure enough, just one day later, on Saturday evening, he resigned from his post for having the temerity to speak out against conventional wisdom.

  And sure enough, just one day later, on Saturday evening, he resigned from his post for having the temerity to speak out against conventional wisdom.
  Moscow, which views any NATO expansion into Ukraine as an existential threat to its national security, has consistently rebutted claims made by Western media and senior officials, according to which Russia is allegedly planning to invade its neighbor any day now. The Kremlin has called the idea “fake news,” while raising issue with the fact that some Western nations are sending weapons to Ukraine. Last month, Russia sent proposals to the US and NATO for treaties with security guarantees, but so far negotiations were unsuccessful in finding terms for an agreement.
  Meanwhile, so-called "progressive, liberal" powers in the west are actively pushing for "kinetic" intervention, one which could quickly spiral out of control and escalate into a global war.
• THE UNITED STATES BEGAN AN URGENT TRANSFER OF TANKS TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE AND ROMANIA - Jan 23, 2022
  The US has begun moving its heavy tanks and light armored vehicles to the border with Ukraine, apparently preparing to use these vehicles to attack Russia. How exactly the tanks and other armored vehicles of the US Armed Forces got into the territory of Romania is unknown, however, it is alleged that the equipment is being transferred towards the Ukrainian border very intensively.
  At the moment, it is known that several dozen units of American armored vehicles can be deployed on the border between Romania and Ukraine. We are talking about heavy tanks M1A2 Abrams and BMP Bradley. At the same time, it is alleged that we are talking about a mass transfer of tanks. Given the lack of statements of intent to conduct military exercises, this indicates that the United States is preparing to send its troops to the territory of Ukraine for a possible attack on Russian citizens in the Donbass.

• RUSSIA PLANNING "LIGHTNING WAR" TO TAKE OUT UKRAINE'S CAPITAL: UK'S JOHNSON IN DRAMATIC CLAIM - JAN 24, 2022 ]
  As we detailed earlier, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell during Monday statements to the press appeared to openly mock the UK and US for their dramatic announcements of embassy personnel evacuations due to threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. He said there's no need to "dramatize" the situation given there's high hopes that ongoing diplomacy will prevail. Moscow too has continued to condemn what it called "disinformation hysteria" prevailing in the West, which is fueling the crisis further.
  But it seems London is content to hype things further, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday citing "gloomy" intelligence from UK intel officials warning that Russia is planning a "lightning war" to take out Ukraine's capital of Kiev. Johnson said in a message directed at Russia that an offensive would be a "disastrous step" and "bloody business". According to the report, Ukrainian officials - both current and former - say that a large-scale Russian military operation couldn't take place for "at least the next two or three weeks."

  Deescalation appears to be accelerating over the Ukraine crisis given a number of rapid developments which have seen lead NATO countries break from the more bellicose and threatening tone of the United States and UK. After Germany's neutrality toward the Russia- Ukraine crisis became apparent, Sweden is the latest to follow its lead of forbidding arms transfers to Kiev, while Croatia is out with a firm statement saying it will recall all of its troops from NATO in the event of war.
  It appears the earlier hyped messages of an 'imminent Russian invasion' have backfired, as Ukraine officials have now turned to castigating the media for spreading a sense of overblown panic and doom among the population. Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov went so far as to say the threat of a Russian invasion "doesn't exist" despite there still being "risky scenarios". Other Ukraine defense officials have echoed this as well...

  The rip in the national political illusion was so severe, Republicans and Democrats were forced to come out agreeing, leaping into each other’s arms in panic. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who increasingly looks like a man about to miss a historically important free throw, said of a potential Russian invasion, "We can make crystal clear the stark consequences of that choice.” Republican Senator Ted Cruz said Biden "shocked the world by giving Putin a green light to invade Ukraine."

  It struggled to keep submarines afloat in the Arctic and an outgunned insurgency at bay in Chechnya. Senior officers sometimes lived in moldy, rat-infested tenements. And instead of socks, poorly trained soldiers often wrapped their feet in swaths of cloth, the way their Soviet and Tsarist predecessors had.
  Two decades later, it is a far different fighting force that has massed near the border with Ukraine. Under Mr. Putin’s leadership, it has been overhauled into a modern sophisticated army, able to deploy quickly and with lethal effect in conventional conflicts, military analysts said. It features precision-guided weaponry, a newly streamlined command structure and well-fed and professional soldiers. And they still have the nuclear weapons.
• RUSSIA WARNS OF NATO NUCLEAR THREAT - Jan 27, 2022
  The military bloc is training its members to unleash atomic hellfire, the Foreign Ministry claimed
  NATO is developing the capacity for devastating nuclear strikes against Russia – which includes involving members of the alliance who don't have such weapons in training operations – Moscow’s top arms control official has claimed.
  In an interview with TASS on Thursday, Vladimir Yermakov, Director of the Department of Arms Control and Nonproliferation in the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the US was in the process of modernizing its atomic capabilities in Europe and had deployed missiles in the territories of several other member states.
• PUTIN HAS ALREADY REVEALED THAT RUSSIA CAN NOT AFFORD NOT TO ACT - 27 Jan 22LBR> The only question left is can anything that's not war suffice?
  In early 1979 the Soviet politburo sat down and listed all the reasons why going into Afghanistan was an extremely bad, terrible idea. Then in late 1979, that very same politburo ordered the Soviet military into Afghanistan.
  The 2003 neocons went into Iraq with enthusiasm expecting a cakewalk, convinced that soon they would be overseeing pro-Israeli regimes in Baghdad, Damascus and Tehran. The Soviet leadership by contrast went into Afghanistan believing there was a decent likelihood they were making a terrible mistake. It isn’t that they loved the idea of going into Afghanistan, it is merely that they came to hate the idea of living with the consequences of doing nothing even more.
  The Russian government of Vladimir Putin absolutely detests the idea of adding East Ukraine or any significant part of it to Russia.
• CHINA THREATENS US: THERE WILL BE 'MILITARY CONFLICT' IF BIDEN SUPPORTS TAIWANESE INDEPENDENCE - Jan 28, 2022
  In what could be read as either a warning or a threat, China's ambassador to the United States said Thursday there will be "military conflict" between the U.S. and China should the island nation of Taiwan attempt to become fully independent from Xi Jinping's communist regime.
  In an interview with NPR, ambassador Qin Gang asserted that Taiwan is "walking down the road toward independence" and said, "If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in a military conflict."
• NATO KNOWS TRUTH ABOUT RUSSIA ‘INVASION’ PLANS, SOURCE TELLS MEDIA - Jan 28, 2022
  The number of troops currently deployed is not enough to attack Ukraine, an official told Euractiv Despite weeks of escalating tensions and claims that Russian troops and tanks could begin streaming over the border into Ukraine at a moment's notice, Moscow doesn't actually appear to be masterminding an invasion of its neighbor, a top NATO official has reportedly admitted.
  The senior figure, who represents an EU member state in the bloc’s Brussels HQ has told pan-European news outlet Euractiv that they believe Russia is not on the verge of starting a military incursion into Ukraine.
  "To invade such a large country with such military forces [like Ukraine], you need military capabilities other than those that have been currently deployed," the source said.

  At this point Moscow has received two written responses to its security proposals submitted early this month. US Ambassador to Moscow John Sullivan on Wednesday hand delivered the answers to Russia's foreign ministry - one coming from Washington, and the other from NATO headquarters in Brussels.
  While both appeared to either reject or avoid addressing Russia's key demand of legal guarantees of no further Russia expansion eastward, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blasted NATO's response in particular as 'embarrassing'.
• BIDEN TEAM BRIEFS WALL STREET BANKS ON LOOMING RUSSIA SANCTIONS, INCLUDING 'NUCLEAR OPTION' - Jan 28, 2022
  Bloomberg reports that the Biden administration has briefed Wall Street on possible new far-reaching sanctions on Russia, and ongoing efforts to ensure that they wouldn't disrupt the global financial system. On the table are sanctions against Russian banks, companies, and imports in the scenario that Ukraine is attacked.
  This included National Security Council officials this week holding discussions with executives from major banks including Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. - according to the Bloomberg report.
  This similarly comes as the administration is said to be reaching out to energy firms in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa - in hopes of helping Western Europe tapping alternate supply sources should things escalate to the point of Russia drastically cutting off gas to Europe, which could be a likely retaliatory move by Russia. But while Washington has been talking sanctions and even cutting Russia off from SWIFT, Ukraine's President Zelensky himself has been busy attempting to reign in the loose canon and "dangerous" rhetoric coming out of Washington officials...

• VISUALIZING THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE MILITARY IMBALANCE - Jan 28, 2022
  The fact that Russia has a larger military than Ukraine will hardly come as a surprise to most, but the extent to which the smaller nation is outnumbered in virtually every area may not be immediately clear.
  Whether Russian President Putin makes the decision to invade the country, and on a far larger scale, remains to be seen.
  What we are being told by western media and warmongers is that there is a new and significant military build up on the Russian side of the border (while Ukraine President Zelensky said his intelligence officials, looking at satellite images, do not see such an unusual build up); diplomatic efforts have failed; and the West seems currently focused on warmongering, projecting solidarity, and threatening dire (economic, at least) consequences should an invasion occur.
• US ASKS HUNGARY TO HOST TROOPS AIMED AT RUSSIA, DESPITE LONG SNUBBING ORBAN - Jan 28, 2022
  It's been revealed that the United States approached Hungary this week to ask the country to host a temporary troop deployment related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto "received an American request about temporary deployment of troops"
  CNN further reports that Romania and Bulgaria are also mulling the acceptance of additional US deployments. Both eastern European NATO countries are typically much more amenable to US security requests, and Romania already provocatively hosts coastal defense missiles on the Black Sea.
  Among the security guarantees Russia is currently seeking from Washington and Brussels is precisely that NATO forces leave Bulgaria and Romania.
  Thus when it comes to Hungary, from the point of view of officials in Budapest they are unlikely to want to see their country thrust into the middle of the tense escalating Russia vs. West standoff.

  A few hours ago, high activity of the Russian military was noticed on the territory of military field camps near the Ukrainian border, however, as it turned out, this was due to the fact that Russian troops began to leave their places of temporary deployment. The data on this subject was confirmed by the press service of the Western Military District.

• MOST AMERICANS WANT DIPLOMACY, NOT WAR WITH RUSSIA OVER UKRAINE; NEW POLL FINDS - Jan 29, 2022
  Authored by Brett Wilkins via Common Dreams,
  A majority of Americans want the Biden administration to work with Russia toward a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis in order to avert a potentially catastrophic war, according to the results of a new poll published Friday.
  According to the Data for Progress survey of 1,214 likely U.S. voters, 58% of overall respondents "somewhat" or "strongly" support the Biden administration "striking a deal with Russia to avoid war over Ukraine."
  Among Democrats, support for such a move was 71%, while 51% of Independents and 46% of Republicans agreed with the prospective policy. The poll's findings echo pleas from U.S. progressives, who urge President Joe Biden to pursue a diplomatic solution to the crisis, in which the world's two foremost nuclear powers are involved.
  "There is no military solution," Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) asserted Wednesday.

• OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: UKRAINE SEEKS US MONEY, LOANS, WEAPONS WHILE DOWNPLAYING 'RUSSIAN INVASION' - Jan 29, 2022
  At a moment Ukraine's top defense leadership, as well as President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, is urging the Biden administration to calm its dangerous and hyped rhetoric regarding a possibly "imminent" Russian invasion of Ukraine (Kiev has said all week that all indicators suggest this just isn't so), it seems the Zelensky government will at least use the occasion to get what it wants from Washington. Or, put another way, perhaps the quid pro quo now emergesafter the Ukrainians long kept mum on the Biden family and Burisma scandal.
  We could add that Kiev is now so openly pushing back against White House assessments as to the actual level of the 'Russia threat' on Ukraine's borders, that it's proving quite awkward and embarrassing for team Biden. As Northeastern University political science professor Max Abrahms put it this week (while generally addressing mainstream media and pundits), "You guys aren’t making a big enough deal of this weird dynamic that American leaders are more worried than Ukrainian leaders of Russia invading Ukraine. This needs to be explained."
  Now Axios is reporting in an exclusive: "The chairman of Ukraine's parliament has sent a letter to eight U.S. senators outlining four specific requests for security assistance and sanctions that Kyiv believes will help deter a Russian invasion."

  • Joe Biden on Friday evening said that he would be moving some troops to Eastern Europe - but 'not too many' - as tensions mount in Ukraine
  • Landing back in Washington DC after a trip to Pittsburgh, the president said that the troops would be moved 'in the near term', but did not say when

  The question is only which one
  Biden and Zelensky are irritated and annoyed with each other these days. Zelensky is accusing Biden of needlessly panicking and of spreading panic (possibly to bluff him into Minsk compliance). Biden’s handlers meanwhile feel that Zelensky is sticking his head into the sand and refusing to see reality staring him in the face.
  So whether you think the Russian redeployment westward is a feint or disguised preparation for the real thing it has worked incredibly well. If it's a feint it's one that Biden has bought hook, line and sinker and that has left him deluded. If it's a masked buildup for a live offensive then the masking has worked splendidly on Zelensky, leaving him paralyzed and in denial.

  The vaunted S-400 air-defense missile system has made its appearance on the streets of Moscow, Russia, indicating Russian belief they will need air defenses very soon. Meanwhile in Belarus, President Lukashenko addressed troops and mentioned "war" 36 times, saying Lithuania must be no more.
  We begin with a final communique sent by Russia to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in which Russia asks simply "Do you intend to fulfill key security obligations?" Clearly, the mere posing of the question presumes the OSCE has NOT fulfilled them, and behind the question, one ought to be able to clearly see, Russia is deploying its military in ways not seen since World War 2.
  In line with the deployment reality, a new battalion of S-400 ‘Triumf’ surface-to-air missile systems went on combat duty in the air defense regiment stationed in the town of Dmitrov near Moscow, sources in Russia’s Defense Ministry report.
  The new S-400 'Triumf' surface-to-air missile systems arrived at their permanent deployment site in the Moscow Region in late December after they successfully accomplished initial missile firings at the Kapustin Yar proving range in the Astrakhan Region.
  Currently, five surface-to-air missile regiments armed with S-400 'Triumf' systems are providing air defense for Moscow and Russia's Central Industrial Region as part of the Aerospace Force’s air defense formations.

  Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com,
  It's time to concede European integration failed. What are the consequences?
  When the Eurozone was formed, Germany insisted on rules that could not be changed without unanimous consent of all countries and without consent of the German constitution.
  Over the years Germany bent in minor ways, but did not break on some constitutional debt rules.
  But point two still remains. It take unanimous consent to do nearly anything in the EU or Eurozone that was not explicitly spelled out in the Maastricht Treaty that created the EU. This is why it took a nearly a decade for the EU to work out a simple trade agreement with Canada.
  Germany will never give up on debt brakes and France will never give up on Agricultural policy. The latter has stymied every global global trade agreement for at least two decades.
  Russia is Germany's Natural Ally
  Russia is and has been Germany's natural ally. Note that Germany even blocked sending military aid to Lithuania and Ukraine.
  Former Chancellor Angela Merkel, bowed to the Greens and dismantled German nuclear reactors.
  Now Germany is in desperate need of Russian natural gas.
  What About China?
  Germany will not stand up to China, once again over trade issues.
  Is Germany a US ally?
  The US has still not figured out Germany is a weak ally at best. The EU has not figured out that Germany has no intention of ever changing its trade stance.

  Via Greg Hunter's USAWatchdog.com ,
  International award-winning journalist and former Assistant Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul Craig Roberts (PCR) says data shows between CV19 policies and the policies surrounding Russia that "America is very unstable."
  Let's start with the NATO talks with Russia over Ukraine that broke down in a diplomatic disaster last week. There is the real possibility of nuclear war with Russia. Dr. PCR explains, "The West is continually antagonizing Russia (PCR is referring primarily to Ukraine, Georgia and Kazakhstan)...
  "This will eventually lead to some kind of conflict. If it is a conventional war, the West does not have a chance—no chance whatsoever. So, what would Washington do when it's faced with a massive defeat? It would save face by resorting to nukes. That's the way Washington is. So, it’s very dangerous. It's extremely dangerous to make the Russians feel threatened, and when they tell you (Washington D.C) that, you ignore it. You don’t hear, and you make them feel more threatened. . . . This is just madness, and it opens up the prospects of military confrontation. I guarantee you that the Russians are not going to allow NATO to take in Ukraine and Georgia. They simply will not, and it cannot be done. . . . We are not prepared for military confrontation with Russia and much less with Russia and China." Last week, the Russian government publicly said it though

  Washington's surrender followed the request of the Ukrainian president that Washington stop the "Russian invasion" propaganda as there were no signs of an invasion being prepared and Washington's rhetoric was too provocative. Germany refused flyover permission to the UK for arms deliveries to Ukraine. Two NATO members announced that they would not send troops if NATO got involved in Ukraine.

  "They themselves are whipping up tensions and rhetoric and are provoking escalation," Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said of US and NATO motives.

The country's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto confirmed days ago it had "received an American request about temporary deployment of troops."
  It appears the White House has received its answer from the 'wayward' NATO-member ally, as Viktor Orban was in Moscow on Tuesday where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They greeted each other as old friends and settled in for a marathon meeting, which the Kremlin said lasted nearly five hours.
  Breaking with the Western alliance's security concerns at this crucial time of a Russian troop build up near Ukraine, Orbán unapologetically said, "I would like to establish during these talks that in this difficult period with energy price hikes, we can enlarge the natural gas quantity that has been agreed in Russian-Hungarian relations."

• WHITE HOUSE AWKWARDLY WALKS BACK WARNING OF "IMMINENT" UKRAINE INVASION - Feb 02, 2022
  On Wednesday the White House walked back its prior consistent assertions that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was "imminent". Spokeswoman Jen Psaki and other admin had in the last week or more doubled down on the word (which included Blinken in media statements) even as Ukraine's President Zelensky openly disputed the alarmist assessment, essentially telling Biden directly to 'calm down' the hyped rhetoric.
  Moscow too, blasted Washington's "hysteria" - with Putin on Tuesday saying the US is trying to goad Russia and Ukraine into war in order to justify far-reaching sanctions and isolating the Russian economy. Here's Psaki, straight-faced, awkwardly trying to explain her own sudden narrative shift after weeks of "the Russians are coming!"...
• UKRAINE INVASION NO LONGER 'IMMINENT' – WHITE HOUSE - Feb 02, 2022
  The US is no longer using the word because it created an unintended message, says Jen Psaki
  The US government is no longer using the word ‘imminent’ in its narrative around the alleged Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters, on Wednesday, explaining that it was sending an unintended message. "No, I would not say that we are arguing that it's imminent," Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the broadcaster.
  The official transcript of Psaki’s January 25 briefing says otherwise, however. Asked whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine – which the US media and intelligence agencies have claimed since late October would happen any day now – was still "imminent," here’s what Psaki had to say.
  "When we said it was imminent, it remains imminent," she told one reporter.
  "Well, 'imminent' has a pretty intense meaning. Doesn't it?" she said in answer to the very next question.
  "And it's still the belief that it's imminent?" was the followup, to which Psaki replied, "Correct."
• PUTIN SAYS IF NATO ABSORBS UKRAINE, THERE MAY BE WAR - February 2, 2022
  The possibility of Ukraine joining NATO poses a threat to European security, as it creates the grounds for a major conflict between Moscow and the military bloc, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Tuesday.
  Ukraine’s official state doctrine includes an intention to restore Kiev’s sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula, which has been part of Russia since 2014, and, notably, by “military means,” he pointed out, during a joint press conference with the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban.

• ERDOGAN TRIUMPHS AS PUTIN STABS HIS BEST ALLY IN THE BACK - February 3, 2022
  President Putin has been making some astonishing demands, including:
  NATO mustn’t admit additional countries near Russia, such as Ukraine and Georgia.
  NATO must cease military activity in non-NATO territories: Georgia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and parts of eastern Europe.
  Yet, incredibly, Putin has himself been enabling a NATO member's aggression bordering Russia. In 2020, the Kremlin embraced Turkey’s sending American-designed/equipped F-16s and Bayraktar drones containing NATO components into Azerbaijan.
  Turkey and Azerbaijan ("one nation, two states") subsequently defeated the Armenian populated Artsakh Republic/Nagorno-Karabagh and Russia’s longtime ally, Armenia. Israel and Pakistan backed Azerbaijan militarily.
• WHY BELARUS IS BECOMING A HEADACHE FOR BIDEN - February 4, 2022
  Rocketing fertilizer prices are causing severe unrest in the American agriculture sector, with the Biden administration facing a sharp rebuke from industry leaders. The Agricultural Retailers Association, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, and National Corn Growers Association, the gang of five, have signed a letter condemning US sanctions on Belarussian potassium chloride (potash) for creating an almighty price spike. The letter goes on to explain that potash is a critical input for crop production, with 63% of US corn acres, 48% of its cotton acres, and 19% of its wheat acres requiring potash-based fertilizers.
  As a result, it is feared that shortages will lead to less successful harvests, cutting away at farmers' margins and pushing up food prices for American consumers. The gang of five, as representatives of US agriculture, have called on the government to ease price pressures by removing sanctions on Belarussian potash immediately. In a nod to the gravity of the situation, recent media coverage has confirmed fears that the current crisis may cause sustained price instability.

  DONETSK (Sputnik) - The people's militia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said on Thursday that Kiev had restricted the exit of citizens liable for military service from Ukraine due to preparations for an offensive in Donbass.
  In order to achieve goals in Donbass, Kiev is ready to put the whole country "under arms," the militia's spokesman said.

• WHAT INVASION LOOKS LIKE: VIDEO SHOWS RUSSIA-BELARUS WAR GAMES "TWO HOURS NORTH OF KIEV" - FEB 03, 2022
  On Monday the United States condemned Russia's major troop deployment to its closest ally Belarus. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the UN Security Council that Russia is planning a major force build-up in the country of 30,000 troops within weeks, aimed at Ukraine.
  She said "we've seen evidence that Russia intends to expand that presence to more than 30,000 troops near the Belarus border" with Ukraine as early as the start of February. Amb. Thomas-Greenfield emphasized this would put a large Russian force build-up "less than two hours north of Kyiv." However, Russia has said its troops are participating in pre-announced routine military exercises, dubbed 'Union Resolve 2022'. Amid continuing tensions with NATO and the US, Russia's defense ministry previewed the drills by putting out a video montage of some the early joint exercises in Belarus on Wednesday...

  "You just come out and say this and expect us just to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true," said Associated Press reporter Matt Lee.
  Veteran Associated Press reporter Matt Lee grilled a State Department spokesperson Thursday over the U.S. government's refusal to provide direct evidence for its claim that Russia is planning to fabricate a mass casualty event as a pretext to invade Ukraine, an allegation that the Pentagon said is backed up by intelligence.
  During a press briefing, Lee asked the State Department's Ned Price—a former CIA official—to furnish concrete proof of the government's accusation, which suggests Russia is plotting an elaborate false flag attack involving a graphic "propaganda video... depicting corpses, crisis actors pretending to be mourners, and images of destroyed locations or military equipment."
  Lee said he has every reason to be skeptical of U.S. government assertions, given the lies that the Bush administration used to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

  "Russia's state-directed antisemitism has historically taken more targeted, strategic forms - less frenzied nationalism than old-style imperialism. It has easily coexisted with Russian Jews holding positions of political or cultural prominence. And it has gone through phases: Soviets condemned Tsarist pogroms before turning antisemitism into a tool of their own."

And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.” George Friedman, STRATFOR CEO at The Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs
  The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

• "WE'RE AT END DAYS HERE" - US FACES RAMPANT SHORTAGES OF 116 DIFFERENT PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS - Feb 12, 2022
  Global supplies of pharmaceutical drugs are getting tighter and tighter, and this has very serious implications for 2022 and beyond. If you depend upon a certain pharmaceutical drug in order to stay alive, I would recommend doing whatever you can to make sure that you have as much of that drug stockpiled as possible, because a day may come when you are unable to get any more for an extended period of time. Much of our drug production has been outsourced to China, and our relations with China are not going so well right now. In fact, the moment that China invades Taiwan we are going to have a major league national crisis on our hands.
  ubtracting 49 from 165 gives us a total of 116 pharmaceutical drug shortages in the United States at this moment.

• SINCE WASHINGTON WANTS WAR SO BADLY WHY DOESN’T WASHINGTON SIMPLY ATTACK RUSSIA? - February 12, 2022
  Washington keeps on adding fuel to what it says is a Ukrainian crisis. Washington puppet Jens Stoltenberg, the nominal secretary-general of NATO, says NATO is considering a larger and permanent Black Sea presence. The Black Sea is to Russia what the Mediterranean Sea was to the Romans– mare nostrum, “our sea.” Stoltenberg’s announcement is akin to Russia announcing that Russia is considering establishing a “Chesapeake Bay Battle Group.” Stoltenberg added that NATO is planning to establish battle groups in Romania and in other countries around the Black Sea. Why such dangerous provocative actions at a time of such high tension? Why is Washington pouring gasoline on a fire?
  Even I did not suspect this level of Washington irresponsibility. As if this isn’t enough, Stoltenberg declared the Black Sea to be of strategic importance for NATO, and the White House national security advisor said the buildup of forces on Russia’s borders are necessary for future contingencies whether or not Russia invades Ukraine.

  Ukraine's ambassador in London, Vadym Prystaiko, caused a stir over the weekend by saying in an interview with BBC that Ukraine was willing to be flexible on the future possibility of joining NATO. After the comments sparked confusion and controversy - as they were seen as a major concession to Russia - which is currently formally demanding that NATO rescind all prior verbal promises of a 'path' to joining the Western military alliance - the ambassador walked backed the comments on Monday.
  He had been asked in the initial interview if Ukraine might "contemplate not joining NATO" to avoid a war, to which Prystaiko responded: "We might, you know, especially [having] been threatened like that, blackmailed by that, and pushed to it."
  But in his backtracking during a follow-up Monday interview, he said the following: For now, while that membership is not available, Ukraine is seeking bilateral agreements to have more support in case of further Russian aggression. "W're flexible enough to look for other arrangements like bilateral [ones]," he said.

Further, Bloomberg wrote, "The ruble led developing currencies higher as reports Russia is returning some troops to their bases stoked appetite for riskier assets and dimmed the appeal of haven trades."
  However, Ukrainian officials remain skeptical that a significant troop reduction is in progress: "Russia constantly makes various statements," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said. "That’s why we have the rule: We won’t believe when we hear, we’ll believe when we see. When we see troops pulling out, we’ll believe in de-escalation." Perhaps anticipating such skepticism, Russia's defense ministry has published a series of clips it says shows tanks and troop units returning to their permanent military bases.

"We are aware of reports of Russian claims that they are withdrawing some forces away from the border with Ukraine. Our analysts are reviewing, but we have nothing further at this time," a US defense official toldPBS' correspondent. This after Russia's defense ministry said hours prior that many tanks and heavy armaments have "already begun loading onto rail and road transport and will begin moving to their military garrisons today.”

  There is no doubt that the bright, white, flash lasts about eight full seconds. Whatever exploded, and wherever the explosion took place, it was clearly a massive blast.
• BELARUS THREATENS TO DEPLOY NUKES AGAINST ANY WESTERN AGGRESSION - Feb 17, 2022
  For the first time throughout the current two-month long standoff between NATO and Russia over Ukraine, the specter of nuclear war has been directly raised, with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday warning that his country stands ready to deploy nuclear weapons if under threat.
  Citing external threats coming from the West, and at a moment Belarus is hosting many thousands of Russian troops, as well as S-400 missiles and long-range bombers for ongoing joint military drills expected to go to Feb. 20, Lukashenko warned, "If necessary, if such stupid and mindless steps are taken by our rivals and opponents, we will deploy not only nuclear weapons, but super-nuclear and up-and-coming ones to protect our territory," according to AFP.

Typically the drills take place in the fall, but will now be part of the current climate of 'muscle flexing' as the region remains on the brink.
  The massive drills of Russia's strategic nuclear forces will take place Saturday, and President Putin will directly oversee it, according to the defense ministry. There were signs earlier in February that the drills would be moved up in time, as the FT wrote: "Russia generally holds its annual nuclear exercises — which involve testing intercontinental ballistic missiles from land, sea and air — in the fall. But the US believes Putin has decided to hold them earlier this year as a show of strength."

• WAR BEGINS - February 19, 2022
  Despite apparent de-escalation attempts by Russia, it seems that ‘Ukrainian leaders’ and its foreign sponsors are determined to instigate the war.
  Over the past 24 hours, forces of the Kiev regime have been consistently taking efforts to deploy even more forces to the contact line with Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in the East. The Ukrainian Army and affiliated militant organizations are blatantly violating the ceasefire regime in the area.
  These developments are accompanied by reports that representatives of the post-Maidan Ukrainian elites are fleeing the country. Furthermore, reports claim that Mr. Zelensky himself ordered to evacuate his parents from the country.
  Aggressive actions of the Kiev regime forces in the East are more than obvious for any neutral observer. Nevertheless, MSM continues to claim that 'gentle and peaceful' Kiev troops are shelling civilian targets in the DPR and LPR just for 'self-defense purposes'.
  Reports appear that Kiev troops started to advance near the city of Gorlovka. This provoked heavy firefight in the area. Eyewitnesses report that the Ukrainian Army is delivering coffins not so far from the frontline.

But Russia's FSB Director Bortnikov Russian responding by saying the Russian military "destroyed Ukrainian forces that tried to infiltrate the border and took one Ukrainian POW" - thus doubling down on the claims.

  "Anne Neuberger, the Biden administration's deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, said the U.S. had rapidly linked Tuesday’s attacks to Russian military intelligence officers."

• NEO – THE NASTY TRUTH BEHIND 2020'S 'WORLD WAR' - February 23, 2022
  What I am writing here I have been warned against. As we move toward the last full week of February 2022, we are told that the world is on the brink of war. But who believes this?
  What those who do know, the few real “insiders,” is that war as we know it, or knew it, simply can’t exist.
  Much of America’s strength is in its navy, carrier battle groups. Today they are totally vulnerable to land-based missiles that exist “on the cheap” covering not only the Persian Gulf but the Indian Ocean as well, so far from shore that attacks on Iran are incomprehensible, well out of range for carrier-based planes.
  Similarly, the Mediterranean is being patrolled by nation upon nation, but the naval balance belongs to Russia with its newly arrive Kinzhal hypersonic missiles ranging easily past Gibraltar and beyond.
  These are the last days for armored attacks, for aircraft carriers, or for blitzkrieg, for anyone. Modern drones, loiter munitions, and area denial weapons make what we knew of war to be pipe dreams. Today’s battlefield, with “theatre level players” is unsurvivable, except for submarines, space weapons, and stealth aircraft that land on airfields that can be destroyed in moments.
  No American government could survive losing an aircraft carrier, particularly to Iran.

"I don't remember a single day when our country lived without any restrictions from the Western world. We have learned to work in such conditions. And not only to survive, but also to develop our state."
• RUSSIA TO THE US: YOUR AGGRESSION STOPS HERE - February 23, 2022
  A lot of ink has been spilled lately on whether or not the USA and its NATO alliance promised the USSR that NATO would not expand into the space evacuated by the withdrawal of the Red Army from Europe. It is clear those promises were repeatedly made and clear they were repeatedly broken. There is no historical dispute. Claims to the contrary are propaganda to excuse NATO’s aggressive strategy against Russia.

  Ukraine is Not a separate country – It was not registered as such, it is a part of Russia, meaning Russia can enter at any time.
  The Secretary-General of the United Nations has stated that Ukraine has not applied for border registration since 1991, so the state of Ukraine does not exist….
  And we don’t know about it!!!
  04/07/2014 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made a stunning statement, the distribution of which in Ukrainian media and the Internet is banned. The conflict between the two countries was discussed at the session of the UN Security Council. From this, the following conclusion was drawn:
  Ukraine has not registered its borders since 12/25/1991. The UN has not registered the borders of Ukraine as a sovereign state.

He explained that the operation was needed to stop atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces in Donbass.
  Air strikes by the Russian military destroyed 74 military infrastructure targets of the Ukrainian armed forces, the Russian Defence Ministry has stated. Among them are 11 airfields, three command centres, a Ukrainian Navy post, 18 S-300 radars (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble), and Buk (NATO reporting name Gadfly) air defence systems of the Ukrainian military, the Russian Defence Ministry elaborated.

  Crucially direct sanctions on Putin himself are not currently on the table, and it's now clear that disconnecting Russia from SWIFT is not part of the fresh measures as well. “Putin will be a pariah on the international stage,” Biden said, and warned that Russia's allies will be “stained by association”.

  "The facility is located about 80 miles (129km) north of Kyiv, several miles south of the Belarus border. Holding Chernobyl would provide Russian troops a staging point that couldn’t be shelled," the report adds, in reference to the potential for dangerous radioactive fallout given the permanent presence of nuclear waste there. Speculation remains that should the site come under direct shelling, there could be nuclear contamination released into the air, potentially impacting other areas in Europe.

• PROMISES, PROMISES - WHERE IN UKRAINE IS THE AMERICAN HERO HUNTER BIDEN? - 2-24-22
  The current military setbacks for Ukraine are not as much acts of Russian aggression as they are self-inflicted wounds for NATO and the USA, whose phony “human rights” campaigns and criminal attempts at financial takeover of the former Soviet sphere have incurred the wrath of the traditionalist leader Vladimir Putin, his diplomatic team and Russian military commanders. The White House crew of Joe Biden, State Secretary Antony Blinken and Defense head Lloyd Austin, have stirred up a one-sided war for cheap political propaganda purposes without assuming any personal responsibility for casualties inflicted on our American troops and civilians on the ground.
  Empty words without action from those myopic cowards from a corrupt Democrat Party are a disgrace to the land of George Washington, Andrew Jackson and Dwight Eisenhower. The Ukraine situation was at most a distant foreign policy issue that should have been handled with diplomatic deftness rather than vile provocations daring Moscow to take military action. Putin called Biden’s bluff, and now Ukraine must face the music.

  The Russian military was able to break out from the Crimean isthmus and then march to the Dnieper river at Nova Kakhovka in only half a day.

  (Update 11:50am ET): While it seemed like a long shot from the beginning, the prospect of talks between Russia and Ukraine was cast into doubt as the Kremlin said Ukraine had stopped responding after rejecting Moscow’s initial offer of a meeting in Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
  Instead, Ukraine sought a meeting in the Polish capital, Warsaw, the Kremlin said, adding it had heard nothing further. There was no immediate word from Ukraine on the Russian comments. The diplomatic to and fro comes as fighting continues on the ground with Russian forces having entered the capital Kiyv.
  Of course, as Bloomberg adds, any talks would likely struggle to find common ground on the question of “neutrality” for Ukraine, which has sought to join NATO and draw closer to Europe

• LOS ANGELES TIMES: OP-ED: RUSSIA’S GOT A POINT: THE U.S. BROKE A NATO PROMISE - February 25, 2022
  Moscow solidified its hold on Crimea in April, outlawing the Tatar legislature that had opposed Russia’s annexation of the region since 2014. Together with Russian military provocations against NATO forces in and around the Baltic, this move seems to validate the observations of Western analysts who argue that under Vladimir Putin, an increasingly aggressive Russia is determined to dominate its neighbors and menace Europe.
  Leaders in Moscow, however, tell a different story. For them, Russia is the aggrieved party. They claim the United States has failed to uphold a promise that NATO would not expand into Eastern Europe, a deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification. In this view, Russia is being forced to forestall NATO’s eastward march as a matter of self-defense.

  Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight.
  They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.
  There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon.
  Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion. They are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.

On Wednesday, hours before the start of the Russian invasion of Ukrainian, the rada (parliament) advanced legislation that would allow more Ukrainian civilians to own firearms as they stared down the bear that was eager to wage war on and conquer them. It's another obvious example of why civilian firearm ownership is important and vital for a free people, yet it wasn’t worth any airtime on the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) that night or Thursday.

  It is important that you understand that according to news reports the US government and its British puppet are sanctioning the persons of Putin and Lavrov as I write. Putin has already said that any such insult will result in the break of diplomatic relations. Either the governments of the US and UK are intentionally driving the situation to a wider conflict or they are too stupid to be in office. Historically, a break in diplomatic relations is a step towards war.
  The sanction is a gratuitous insult as Putin has no assets abroad to be frozen, and I very much doubt Lavrov does either.
  Clearly, Washington is doing everything possible to inflame the situation, not reduce the tensions. All the trouble can end now by the West supporting the demilitarization of Ukraine.

  Defcon levels are not national in the U.S., if ONE base abroad goes to defcon 2 it does not mean Norad will. The U.S. still is officially at Defcon 3-4 despite some bases going to defcon 2. I don't know where Norad sits right now. I think the whole country should be at Defcon 2 but you know who's "running the country". OR NOT.
  Russia does not use the DEFCON system, but if they did, that's approximately where they would be. However, IF it trips from 1 to zero that will happen instantly, there are no shades of gray.

• SUPPRESSED HISTORY: MILITARY INTELLIGENCE EXPOSE OF KHAZARIAN CONTROL OF AMERICA - Feb 27, 2022
  "The Marxian program of drastic controls, so repugnant to the free Western mind, was no obstacle to the acceptance of Marxism by many Khazar Jews, for the Babylonian Talmud under which they lived had taught them to accept authoritarian dictation on everything from their immorality to the trade practices. Since the Talmud contained more that 12,000 controls, the regimentation of Marxism was acceptable, provided the Khazar politician, like the Talmudic rabbi, exercised the power of the dictatorship."
  This is what the world’s intellectuals, academics, and leaders all knew 70 years ago. How many know it today?
  "The Khazar Jew's frequent equating of anti-Communism with so-called anti-semitism is unfortunate in many ways. In the first place, it is most unfair to loyal American Jews. Charges of anti-Semitism are absurd; moreover, because the Khazar Jew is himself not a Semite (Chapter II, above).

"European Union member states on Sunday agreed to unblock 450 millions euros ($500 million) for members states to buy arms for Ukraine, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said," the AFP reports.
  "The measure is part of a wide-ranging package of support and sanctions agreed by the 27 EU states.

  Authored by Glenn Greenwald via greenwald.substack.com
  In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line insisted that nobody in Washington is even considering let alone advocating that the U.S. become militarily involved in a conflict with Russia. That the concern was based not on the belief that the U.S. would actively seek such a war, but rather on the oft-unintended consequences of being swamped with war propaganda and the high levels of tribalism, jingoism and emotionalism that accompany it, was ignored. It did not matter how many wars one could point to in history that began unintentionally, with unchecked, dangerous tensions spiraling out of control. Anyone warning of this obviously dangerous possibility was met with the "straw man" cliche: you are arguing against a position that literally nobody in D.C. is defending.

• JIMSTONE.IS - WORLD CLASS INVESTIGATIVE TRUTH - Feb 28, 2022
  I hate to say it, but it really looks like Putin is the irrefutable good guy in all of this. And he's frustrated by "the empire of lies". "Empires of lies" happen when universities get infiltrated and kids are taught by the tribe that the truth is not what matters, what people believe is the truth is what matters. Imagine a news agency or politician with THAT as the moral foundation . . . . . what do you get? "An empire of lies". The KGB may not have been nice to deal with, but they did not operate on falsehood. They were blind to a lot. Putin is not going to accept "the empire of lies" very well. INSIGHT:
  Some of the top KGB people paid a visit to Brigham Young university in the 1970's. They stood on top of the arts building and looked down at all the cars in the parking lot. They said "Wow, the staff has really nice cars". They were corrected: "Those are the student's cars". They did not believe it, and instead believed the United States took cars from all over the country and parked them there for a fake show. They, even being what they were, did not believe the United States could possibly be like that. They were honestly in error. They were not liars. There's a big difference between being honestly wrong and a pathological liar. And, to top it all off, Putin's not even wrong this time around.
  Putin has morals, and he's cornered by "an empire of lies". What will he do? Time will tell but I'd start with cutting off oil and gas to Europe if the West gets any friskier.
  PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF THE WEF. That's a REAL GOOD sign. If he was the enemy of all of us the way Biden is, he was not "good enough" at it.
• RUSSIA IN NEW 'RED LINE': WESTERN COUNTRIES SUPPLYING WEAPONS TO UKRAINE WILL "BEAR RESPONSIBILITY" - Feb 28, 2022 Update(1449ET): Already Putin has previously been on record as saying Western actions such as sanctioning a sitting head of state or targeting the central bank would be viewed as an "act of war". But now another red line has been drawn, following more and more European governments - most notably Germany - ditching their policies of neutrality when it comes to shipping their weapons into foreign conflicts:

• EXCLUSIVE/STUNNING! SAUDI ARABIA AND THE UPCOMING SECRET NUCLEAR WAR - Mar 01, 2022
  Proven, years of bought and built nukes with launchers capable of hitting all of Europe and beyond
  With Israel issuing direct threats against both Syria and Iran of thermonuclear devastation if either nation retaliates against Israeli bombing attacks, the world moves closer to the brink. Many factors, including and especially Israel’s internal political collapse, are pushing the world toward a wider conflict. American political instability makes things even worse.
  To begin with, let’s talk about Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has a larger military budget than Russia, but Russia spends much of their budget on a huge standing army, a significant navy, dozens of nuclear submarines and a massive thermonuclear missile capability supported by an equally huge stockpile of nuclear weapons.
  Saudi Arabia spends more than Russia but has a small navy, a very small standing army, mostly foreign mercenaries or troops "hired" from "allies." Their budget makes no sense unless you examine it carefully. Saudi Arabia spends up to 40% of its military budget on nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

• "THE MARKET IS STARTING TO FAIL": BUYERS BALK AT RUSSIAN OIL PURCHASES DESPITE RECORD DISCOUNTS, SANCTION CARVE OUTS - Mar 01, 2022
  While in their unprecedented broadside of sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and Western allies went out of their way to spare Russian energy shipments and keep economies humming and voters warm, the oil market has gone on strike anyway. Acting as if energy were already in the crosshairs of Western sanctions officials, refiners have balked at buying Russian oil and banks are refusing to finance shipments of Russian commodities, the WSJ reports citing traders, oil executives and bankers.
  This self-imposed embargo which has effectively halted a majority of Russian oil shipments, threatens to drive up energy prices globally by removing a gusher of oil from a market that was tight even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia, waging war and in need of revenue with its financial system in turmoil, is taking extreme steps to convince companies to buy its most precious commodity.

But the real reason for the shock is that this was the first time the global reserve currency was weaponized against a G20 economy, setting a clear precedent for how the west would and could respond to any other nation that followed in Russia's footsteps (something which China is clearly contemplating vis-a-vis Taiwan, and is carefully studying just how the west responds to Moscow),

  In all the world the US as a nation is utterly unique in its tradition of citizen rights to self defense. There is no other protection written into any constitution anywhere that is as solid and unapologetic as the 2nd Amendment. Whenever I end up in a debate with a gun control advocate from another country that wants to "educate me" on the level of firearms ownership overseas I have to laugh because these people just don't get it.
  There are many countries where some guns are allowed to be owned by the public, but in every case this is treated as a PRIVILEGE which the government can give and take away anytime it pleases. Only in America is gun ownership an individual right regardless of what the government and the so called "majority" likes or dislikes. The government's opinions on personal firearms are meaningless. The majority's opinions on gun rights are meaningless. I own guns because natural law and the constitution says I have an inborn right to self defense. And, if someone wants to take those weapons from me they better be prepared to die in the process.

• CHINA'S MILITARY STRATEGISTS WATCHING RUSSIAN INVASION CLOSELY WITH EYE ON TAIWAN - MAR 03, 2022
  Amid speculation in some Western policy circles that China could move on Taiwan 'at any moment' given currently the world has its total focus on the Ukraine war, the prospects for some kind of surprise rapid invasion of the democratic island wasn't helped by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit this week.
  Pompeo was there in the capacity of a "private citizen" - the White House had previously stressed - also while separately an official US defense delegation visited. But Pompeo's words likely spoke louder in terms of evoking the ire of Beijing, given he provocatively stated that Taiwan is a "great nation" on his visit. Beijing promptly responded by calling him "despicable".

The second round of talks between Russian and Ukraine delegations are set to begin around 9am ET. Russian officials yesterday acknowledged that the question of a ceasefire is on the table - however unlikely given the continued fierceness of the fighting, particularly in the south where overnight Russia captured its first major, strategic city, Kherson. Thursday marks the start of the second week of war, and the talks are being held at a neutral location on the Poland-Belarus border.
  "Our delegation was in place last night. It was expecting Ukrainian negotiators last night, all night, then in the morning. They are still waiting," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. "But as you know, the talks have not started. Ukrainian negotiators are clearly in no hurry. Let's hope they arrive today," he quipped.

  Says World Thermonuclear War Can Easily Happen
  Hello Bro,
  Yes, this thing can very easily go off the rails. The propaganda and demonization is clearly in preparation for a bigger war. All people MUST remember - Russia didn't start this war, and Russia isn't "invading" Ukraine.
  This war was started in early 2014 with snipers hired, armed and directed by US agents working under the orders of Biden. And this war has been conducted by the US ever since. Russia is liberating Ukraine from foreign occupation and NAZI oppression. Anyone who talks about a Russian "invasion" can do so only in the context of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6th, 1944. Russia is not going to "take" Ukraine, it is spending its own blood and treasure to give Ukraine back to the Ukrainian people.
  This is literally a war between GOOD and EVIL and Russia is NOT the evil one. But those who are trying to destroy Russia truly are. And either the rulers of the US and EU suffer from terminal stupidity, or they are going to destroy their own countries and populations on purpose. If NATO gets in a conventional shooting war with Russia, Russia will crush them like ants. The ONLY other option for these criminally insane bastards is the nuke option. Putin has already said, if the nukes start flying, "We will go to heaven as martyrs, and you will not even have time to repent. You will just be dead."
  You will just be dead... If the people of the US and EU allow their masters to start a war with Russia, it will not end well for them. Understand, Russia did not start this war, and we have taken the most extreme measures to minimize the death and destruction associated with this liberation. If the rulers of the US and EU escalate this operation into a regional or global war, it may very well mean the end of life on Earth. Russia will not lose. You have been warned.
  Good luck to all good people. May God protect the innocent and may the rest of us get everything we deserve.

  1) Purging the corrupt Jewish Ukrainian oligarchs who will be forced to flee just as they did when Putin purged them in Russia in 2003.
  2) Purging the Ukrainian Parliament infested with Jews like Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, and Culture and Information Policy Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko, all Jews.
  Zelensky, the Jew President of Ukraine, by asking Nato for a no-fly zone to shoot down Russian planes—which the Khazarian Mafia in America rejected—shot himself in the foot for any bid for bargaining chips in talks with Putin.
  Concerning the Rothschild/US Jewish FED cutting off Russia from financial markets and interbank payments, this is nothing less than assisted- suicide.

• A WEEK OF WAR IN UKRAINE - Russell Bentley - 3-4-22
  Update From Russian Operation Z Front Lines
  The liberation and de-nazification of Ukraine continues apace. The resistance is strong, and the Russian and Republican Liberators face a desperate and ruthless enemy. The ukrop NAZIS' most effective tactic is the use of civilians as human shields in built up urban areas. Russia's extreme precautions and deliberate pace to avoid the kind of bloody "collateral damage" that is the trademark of every US and NATO invasion, has cost the Russians quite a lot in time, treasure and blood. But the advance continues, and will continue until all Russian strategic objectives are achieved.
  As of 3 March official military reports for the entire Russia/Ukraine operation are as follows - Ukrainian soldiers killed and missing - 8395 Russian & Republican soldiers - 498 dead, 1,600 wounded Civilian casualties throughout the area of military operations exceed 300
  • 1,612 targets were hit by Russian artillery and precision missiles including 62 command and control centers and communication centers,

  While the Hungarians were heroic and inspirational, Hungary was neither a member of NATO nor a vital U.S. interest. Moreover, it was on the Soviet side of the Yalta line dividing Europe, and agreed to by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill at Yalta in 1945.
• RUSSIA'S ATTACK ON UKRAINE REPRESENTS A DEMAND FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER - Mar 05, 2022
  [1] It appears that Russia now fears that it is near collapse, not too different from the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union in 1991. Such a collapse would lead to a huge drop in Russia’s living standards, even from today’s relatively low level.
  [2] The thing that seems to have been behind the 1991 collapse is the same thing that seems to be behind Russia’s current fear of collapse: continued low oil prices.
  [3] While oil prices depend on "supply and demand," as a practical matter, demand is very dependent on interest rates and debt levels. The higher the debt level and the lower the interest rate, the higher the price of oil can rise.
  [4] The fundamental problem behind recent low oil prices is the fact that the current mix of consumers cannot afford goods and services produced using the high oil prices that producers, such as Russia, need to operate, pay high enough wages, and do adequate reinvestment.
  [5] No one knows precisely how much oil, coal and natural gas can be extracted because the quantity that can be extracted depends on the extent of the price rise that can be tolerated without plunging the economy into recession.
  [6] Europe, in particular, cannot afford high oil prices. If interest rates are increased soon, this will make the problem even worse. China seems to have definite advantages as an economic partner.
  [7] Russia realized that the rest of the world is utterly dependent upon its fossil fuel exports. Because of this dependency, as well as the physics-based connection between the burning of fossil fuels and the making of finished goods and services, Russia holds huge power over the world economy.
  [8] Russia’s attack on Ukraine seems to have been made for many reasons.
  [9] If higher energy prices cannot be achieved, there is a significant chance that the change in the world order will be in the direction of pushing the world economy toward collapse.
• US TELLS ALL AMERICANS TO LEAVE RUSSIA "IMMEDIATELY" AFTER PUTIN DIALS UP THREATS - Mar 05, 2022
  Update(4:30pmET): The State Department on Saturday updated its advisory for American citizens in Russia, urging them to leave "immediately". It comes after a prior notification from the embassy on Wednesday which advised that they should "consider" exiting the country.
  Below are the opening paragraphs the State Department's new travel warning, coming the same day it was revealed that American WNBA and former Olympic star Brittney Griner was detained at Sherematyevo International outside Moscow [emphasis in original travel warning]:

  Do not travel to Russia due to the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces in Ukraine, the potential for harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19 and related entry restrictions, terrorism, limited flights into and out of Russia, and the arbitrary enforcement of local law. U.S. citizens should depart Russia immediately.
  U.S. citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart immediately. Limited commercial flight options are still available. Overland routes by car and bus are also still open. If you wish to depart Russia, you should make arrangements on your own as soon as possible. If you plan to stay in Russia, understand the U.S. Embassy has severe limitations on its ability to assist U.S. citizens, and conditions, including transportation options, may change suddenly. U.S. citizens who are able to depart Russia for another country and are in need of emergency assistance upon arrival may contact a U.S. embassy or consulate in that country.

  A furious and beleaguered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky skewered NATO for not doing more to intervene against Russia's military invasion of the country, on Friday saying the Western military alliance is "weak" and "confused" while continuing to urge a no-fly zone.
  "Unfortunately, today there is a complete impression that it is time to give a funeral repast for something else: security guarantees and promises, determination of alliances, values that seem to be dead for someone," Zelensky said after a NATO summit was held in Brussels, which saw Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reiterate his position that "we are not part of this conflict."

  The reports reveal that "a flurry of planning" at the State Department has been happening since the Russian invasion kicked off a week-and-a- half ago. "We’re doing contingency planning now for every possibility," a Biden admin official was quoted in Washington Post as saying, which also named Poland as the likely location for a Ukrainian government in exile.
  Meanwhile, the same deep state source that uses both the WaPo and the NYT, advised the latter that western allies are discussing how to secure Ukraine's line of succession "if President Volodymyr Zelensky is captured or killed."

  War Updates Are Posted Below This Top Posted Rant, Which Will Be On Top Until Most People Have Seen It.
  I am going to post an opinion about what I really think is going on -
  First of all, there are spurious reports about gasoline not even being available at some stations in some parts of the United states. REALITY: supply lines don't dry up that quick, someone is playing games. So russia cut the gas, ONLY NO. FACT: If Russia was supplying ALL of America's gasoline, there is no pipeline from here to there, only ships, which means there is no way in hell there could possibly be a shortage because the last ships would only be 30 percent done with their voyage to America since Russia went into Ukraine. The timeline is too short. It's all a BIG FAT LIE.
  And I'll throw out another whopper: Before Trump was overthrown America was supplying OTHER COUNTRIES with gasoline. America was producing above and beyond it's needs and when the usurpers seized power they shut the pipelines and oil fields down. You want to know what I really think? I Think The Bastards Who Siezed Power In The United States Are Cooperating With Enemy Powers To Destroy This Country. I Think That For The Most Part, Those Running America Are The Enemy Powers.
  WANT PROOF??? WHERE T.H. IS THE GASOLINE? How did America go from being a provider to a dependent? ANSWER: STOLEN ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND AMERICA'S GAS PUMPS ARE PROVING IT.

• RUSSIA SAYS GLOBAL OIL EMBARGO COULD PUSH PRICES OVER $300 - Mar 07, 2022
  With the US reportedly said to vote as soon as Tuesday on a proposal to ditch trade relations with Russia and Belarus, including suspending oil imports despite repeated objections from Germany which has stated that a collapse in supply threatens "social cohesion", Russian Deputy PM Novak said that a ban on Russian oil would result in catastrophic consequences for global market according to Interfax, warning that Europe is pushing Russia towards an embargo on gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1, which is currently filled to maximum capacity, although Moscow has not taken this decision yet.
  Warning that "no one would benefit from an embargo on gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1", Novak said that replacing Russian oil deliveries to Europe would take longer than a year.
  he also warned that a global embargo on Russian oil could push prices over USD 300/bbl, although he said that Russia knows where it would re- direct oil to if Europe and US refuse it.

  Russian forces are moving closer to the 900 km strategically important stretch from Odessa to Luhansk. By the end of Day 11, Russian troops had already taken over two important cities Mariupol and Kherson, ensuring control of the southern part of Ukraine’s Black Sea Coast.
• A SURPRISING EXPLANATION OF RUSSIA'S INVASION FROM A FORMER TOP-LEVEL CIA OFFICIAL - Mar 07, 2022
  A surprising op-ed in MSNBC arguing that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was likely "preventable" if the US and NATO had merely tried to take a path of muscular diplomacy and potential compromise appears to have slipped passed the mainstream media censors and gate-keepers.
  Since the start of the Thursday Feb.24 invasion, the prevailing narrative concerning Russia's motives has been largely limited to an ultra- simplistic hollywoodwesque story that goes something like this: one day a big bully and monster named Putin decided he wanted to invade and kill people in a neighboring country, and that he further wants to "resurrect the old Soviet Union".
  But in a refreshingly realist op-ed piece, MSNBC political columnist Zeeshan Aleem exposed the self-serving Washington narrative which was intended more for the consumption of masses as false. Aleem points to a much more complex and nuanced reality, reminding the public of what should be obvious to any student of history - that the top diplomats and US officials who oversaw post-Soviet negotiations with Russia over Europe's security order in the 1990's knew full well that if NATO ever got expanded up to Russia's borders, it would be suicide. It was predicted decades ago that war would be triggered in such a scenario.

  In another apparent nod aimed at placating Moscow, Zelensky said he is open to "compromise" on the status of two breakaway pro-Russian territories that President Vladimir Putin recognized as independent just before unleashing the invasion on February 24.
  "I have cooled down regarding this question a long time ago after we understood that ...NATO is not prepared to accept Ukraine," Zelensky said in an interview aired Monday night on ABC News.
  "The alliance is afraid of controversial things, and confrontation with Russia," the president added.

• POLAND'S OFFER OF JETS FOR UKRAINE "Raises Serious CONCERNS FOR ENTIRE NATO ALLIANCE": Pentagon - Mar 08, 2022
  Update(20:44): Some sharp words and a swift rejection from the Pentagon Tuesday evening: "The prospect of fighter jets 'at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America' departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said of the Polish announcement which caught the Biden administration by surprise.
  Kirby described the Pentagon perspective on Poland's earlier in the day declaration that it would send all its Russian-produced MiG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany for the United States to be able to transfer them to Ukraine further as follows:
  • "It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it," he added, stressing that the proposal "shows just some of the complexities this issue presents."
  • "We will continue to consult with Poland and our other NATO allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland's proposal is a tenable one."

  President Joe Biden said gas prices in America that are already at historical highs are going to continue to go up and that there’s not much that can be done about it at this time.
  On Tuesday the president announced a ban on Russian energy imports as the latest move from the United States to isolate Russia’s economy in response to its invasion of Ukraine. Later in the day, as Biden landed in Texas, a reporter asked for his message to the American people on gas prices, which reached a record $4.173 on Tuesday, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).
  "“They’re going to go up,” said Biden of the prices. "They’re going to go up," said Biden of the prices.

  The Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova, told the United States on Wednesday, “We have found your biological weapons!”
  "There was statement made by the Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, leave no doubt, will not give Washington to be silent this time. Their attempts, while spilling blood, to find biological and chemical weapons throughout the world. We have found your own products. We have found your biological material. As it turns out it was all happening in Ukraine," RT, Russia state-affiliated media reported.
  Russia now demands the US to explain bio labs in Ukraine.

• IAN GREENHALGH: PUPPET ZELENSKYY AND THE FAKE UKRAINIAN STATE - March 9, 2022
  Q: How is it possible that the pro-West Ukrainian president who lost over 2/3 of his approval rate inside his own country within only three years, was welcomed by the West (the EU, the UK, the US and NATO?) Why didn't the West consider Zelensky's approval rate in Ukraine before promising him backing and support?
  Zelensky, like Poroshenko, Yushchenko, Yatsenyuk, Timoshenko and all the other Ukrainian leaders since 2005 with the exception of the pro-Moscow Yanukovych and Azarov, are mere puppets of unseen hands in the West that have constantly manipulated the politics of Ukraine in order to bring about the destruction of the Russian nation and people.
• UKRAINE CRUSADE: POPE ISSUES CALL TO ARMS TO PIOUS CHRISTENDOM - March 9, 2022
  On Sunday, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, a responsible government official heading foreign affairs and representing the United States on the global stage, “casually suggested” that Poland could hand over its entire fleet of 28 Soviet-era MiG-29s to Ukraine, desperate for imposing a no-fly zone, and, in return, the United States government would "backfill" the Polish Air Force with American F-16s.
  "We are looking actively now at the question of airplanes that Poland may provide to Ukraine, and looking at how we might be able to backfill it should Poland decide to supply those planes," Speaking alongside Moldovan President Maia Sandu, Blinken told a briefing in Chisinau on Sunday, March 6.
  Upon getting wind of the "facetious remark" by the charismatic secretary of state idolized by the diplomatic community for wavy salt-and-pepper hair and suave Parisian etiquette, Russian defense spokesman Igor Konashenkov issued a stark warning that any attempt by an outside power to facilitate a no-fly zone over Ukraine, including providing airstrips and aircraft to Kyiv, would be considered a belligerent in the war and treated accordingly.
• BLOCKBUSTER: VATICAN FINDS US, UKRAINE AT FAULT IN SEARING DECLARATION (vital) - March 9, 2022
  Nothing is lost with peace. All can be lost with war. Let men return to understanding. Let them resume negotiating. Negotiating with good will and with respect for each other’s rights, let them realize that an honorable success is never precluded when there are sincere and active negotiations. And they will feel great – with true greatness – if imposing silence on the voices of passion, whether collective or private, and leaving reason to its proper domain, they will spare their brothers bloodshed and their homeland ruin.
  Thus it was that on August 24, 1939, Pius XII addressed both rulers and peoples as war was imminent. These were not words of empty pacifism, nor of complicit silence about the multiple violations of justice that were being carried out in many quarters. In that radio message, which some people still remember hearing, the appeal of the Roman Pontiff invoked "respect for each other's rights" as a prerequisite for fruitful peace negotiations.

The Polish proposal was aimed at enabling the now-grounded Ukrainian air force to fly those vintage Soviet jets from a USAF airbase across NATO lines into beleaguered Ukraine for a surprise attack of bombing missions against Russian-occupied airfields and to wage dogfights with Russia's fifth- generation (5G) Sukhoi and MiG fighter jets.

• TUCKER CARLSON GOES ALL IN, CALLS OUT US BIOWARFARE LABS IN THE UKRAINE - March 10, 2022
  There was some question as to where Tucker Carlson would go in the face of this Russia situation, with the entire media pushing the war hoax, and him no doubt being pressured to go along with the narrative by Fox, which has been completely unhinged in calling for a World War with Russia.
  Even I wondered what direction he would go, but this week he proved he's got 2Pac on in the background when he and his team are putting together these scripts, like "I ain't a killer but dont push me."
  On Wednesday, he basically had my exact take on the biowarfare labs thing. The idea that the US was funding these labs in the Ukraine, and then failed to destroy them before the Russian invasion – or, you know, after it started and they knew the Russians were going to be rolling in in a matter of days – sounds like a schizo fake news conspiracy theory.

• US STATE DEPARTMENT DENIES RUSSIAN ALLEGATIONS OF BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS IN UKRAINE - Mar 10, 2022
  Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times
  The U.S. State Department denied allegations pushed by Russian officials this week that the U.S. military is involved in creating chemical weapons or biological weapons in Ukraine.
  On Wednesday evening, the U.S. State Department said that Kremlin allegations that the United States and Ukraine have conducted "chemical and biological weapons activities" are false, noting that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials have echoed Moscow’s claims.
  "This Russian disinformation is total nonsense and not the first time Russia has invented such false claims against another country," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
  The United States, he added, "does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine, it is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological Weapons Convention, and it does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere," saying that Russia instead operates "active chemical and biological weapons programs" that violate conventions on biological and chemical weapons.
  The statement came about a day after Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told a Senate hearing there were biological laboratories located within Ukraine.
  When questioned by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Nuland confirmed Tuesday the United States is protecting "biological research facilities" in the country from Russia's army.
  "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned that Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces, should they approach," Nuland said.

• NO CEASEFIRE PROGRESS: ALL THE LATEST NEWS AND DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE UKRAINE WAR - March 10 - Mar 10, 2022
  With newsflow out of Ukraine having become a firehose, with market moving headlines firing every minute, traders can be forgiven if they have just given up following the narrative. To help out, here is a snapshot of all the latest market-moving news out of Ukraine from the last few hours:
• NY TIMES: JEWISH NEW YORKERS UNITE TO RAISE MILLIONS FOR UKRAINE - March 10, 2022
  From the suites to the streets, from London to Paris to Jew York to Chicago to Los Angeles to Tel Aviv to Kiev, the usual suspects have got their blood-stained fingerprints all over the "crisis" in Ukraine. As it was during the 1930s propaganda build-up toward World War II -- a war which was 100% imposed upon innocent and peaceful Germany (here) -- these kosher characters aren't even trying to hide where their sympathies lie (with corrupt Ukraine) and can barely conceal what their ultimate wishes are (World War III, the fall of Russia).
  "Rabbi Labish Becker, the executive director of Agudath Israel of America, has raised more than $2 million for Ukraine since the Russian invasion. He said the emergence of President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, as 'a Ukrainian national hero,' has been 'a source of pride for people' amid the grim news of war.
  'Everyone is sort of pinching themselves,' he said. 'We just sit there and look at each other like: ‘Wow this is amazing. It is like what J.F.K. said when he was in Berlin.’We are all Ukrainians.’”
  Becker's organization is an umbrella group of theologically conservative Orthodox Jews. We also learn from the article that over on the liberal / atheist end of the Jewish spectrum, the Union for Reform Judaism and the World Union for Progressive Judaism are also on board the "I stand with Ukraine" train. No doubt about this one, boys and girls -- the Rothschild Mafia has issued the order for Jewish ranks to close and all hands, mouths and checkbooks on deck for (((their))) Unholy War against Christian Russia.
• VITAL: UNITED STATES MILITARY VETERANS JOINING THE UKRAINIAN ARMY MAY RUN AFOUL OF FEDERAL LAW AND/OR LOSE BENEFITS OR US CITIZENSHIP - March 10, 2022
  Do American veterans risk losing their earned benefits by joining a foreign army? The answer, sadly, is yes. One very concerning example is the fact that a key limitation on the participation of retired United States military personnel is found in the constitution of the United States itself. A key restriction on retired military personnel from joining a foreign military service is Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution. This constitutional provision, known in American legal doctrine as the “Emoluments Clause”, specifically and directly prohibits any person "holding any office of profit or trust" in the Federal Government from accepting any gift, emolument, office, or title of any kind from any king, prince, or foreign state without the consent of Congress.
  This limitation would equally apply to United States military veterans agreeing to fight for Ukraine, Russia, or any other country engaged in any other armed conflict around the world.

  What is essential for this success by the DLNR forces is the fact, that the Russians use the method they formerly practiced in Syria:
  – establish human corridors
  – bring the UN and the Red Cross into play through diplomatic means
  – offer the Ukrainian soldiers (not publicly but effectively) a way out
  – the nearly 100% tattooing of the Azof forces makes it relatively easy to effectively sort them out
  The UN and Red Cross involvement is the crucial part, because the Ukrainian generals know why this is done, but they can’t argue against it.

  During his relatively brief Friday speech on the Russia-Ukraine war, President Biden called for an end to normal trade relations with Russia, clearing the way for increased import tariffs, and announced a ban on Russian-made vodka and caviar, as we detailed earlier.
  But perhaps the most important part of the speech came when Biden once again pledged that the United States would not directly engage in conflict with Russia, as this scenario would lead to "World War III" between NATO and Russia - in the president's words.

  In a likely 'message' and warning to NATO, Russia's air force is attacking locations in the far west of Ukraine - some of them for the first time since the invasion began on Feb.24.
  Ukraine's government on Friday is saying that explosions rocked Lutsk, near the Polish border, as well as a military airfield at Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine, which was struck by multiple missiles. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson described it a "possible message to NATO" as calls from Western officials to impose a no-fly zone, including among hawks in Congress, grow louder.

  Second, think about Hunter Biden’s laptop. It offered proof that Joe Biden is perhaps the most corrupt traitor in U.S. political history. Biden is the “Big Guy” who gets a piece of every dirty deal outside the USA. And Ukraine (along with China) is the center of his corruption.
  Third, think about all the liars, frauds and sell-outs in the DC Swamp. How do they get filthy rich? It’s not on their $175,000 salaries. That’s chump change.
• ISRAELI PM BENNETT PUSHED ZELENSKY TO "SURRENDER" TO RUSSIA: UKRAINE OFFICIAL - MAR 12, 2022
  Submitted by Blue Apples
  Almost without fail, diplomatic efforts diffusing conflicts that the Prime Minister of Israel becomes involved in center around the resurgence of hostilities in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. However, the Ukraine- Russia conflict has become center stage for the highest profile diplomatic engagement of the post-Netanyahu era thus far.
  Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett surprised the international community last week when it was revealed that he had taken an clandestine trip to Moscow in order to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an apparent peacemaking effort. According to sources, Bennett had apprised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesky and French President Emmanuel Macron of his trip to Moscow before it had become public knowledge. After 3 hours of deliberations in the Kremlin, Bennett then traveled to Germany to meet with Chancellor Olaf Scholz to discuss the outbreak of the Russia-Ukrainewar among other issues.

Russia's Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov said on state TV that Washington had been informed in the last days that Moscow will see weapons supply convoys entering Ukraine as "legitimate targets".
  "We warned the United States that the orchestrated pumping of weapons from a number of countries is not just a dangerous move, it is a move that turns these convoys into legitimate targets," Ryabkov said in the remarks, which served as a severe warning to the West.

  More than 16,000 foreign fighters, many of them from the Middle East and experienced in fighting against jihadists, want to go to Ukraine and join the forces of the Russia-backed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Russia’s defense minister claimed on Friday. During a meeting of the National Security Council, he suggested giving them the green light.
  "We believe it would be right to positively respond to those requests, especially since they are doing it not for money, but because that is their wish. We know many of those people – they helped us fight against ISIL [the terrorist group Islamic State] at the most difficult time in the past 10 years," Sergey Shoigu recalled.

  "Bennett is basically telling us to surrender and we have no intention of doing that," the unnamed senior Ukrainian official told Axios. In the wake of the report, the Israeli Prime Minister's office issued a vehement denial of the claim.
  According to Axios, Zelensky and his advisors were angry over the alleged recommendation from Bennett, which may have led to leaking the exchange to the press. Kiev says that Bennett had initiated the Tuesday call wherein the advice was given.

• US THREATENS "CONSEQUENCES" FOR CHINA IF MILITARY AID GIVEN TO RUSSIA FOR UKRAINE WAR - Mar 14, 2022
  Update(1340ET): The Sunday "revelation" - or at least Biden admin 'official leaks' - claiming that Russia has formally requested military assistance from China amid the Ukraine invasion has been given more detail in a fresh FT report Monday. It was previously said based on unnamed US sources that Moscow had requested military equipment and arms, including drones - alongside economic assistance. The Chinese embassy in the US had quickly denied knowing anything about such a request.
  The new FT report cites classified ''cables, which were sent by the US state department to allies in Europe and Asia, did not say whether China had signalled that it would help Russia in the future or if it had already started providing military support. Nor did they say at which point in the conflict Beijing appeared open to offering the help.''
  Despite what seems vague assertions and scant evidence, a US defense official in the new FT piece warned China of serious "consequences" if it provides support to Russia:

  Update (2315ET): The U.S. and China held their first high-level talks since the start of the Ukraine war, and the White House warned allies that Moscow sought armed drones from Beijing in late February as it started its assault, Bloomberg reported citing people familiar with the matter.
  The Biden administration and China described their in-person talks as “substantial” and “constructive,” respectively, although neither announced any specific outcomes. Rabobank's Michael Every had a slightly different take: the "key meeting between the US and China in Rome obviously did not go well. Pre-meeting, I was informed the article doing the rounds from a Chinese academic saying Beijing should dump Russia for the West was banned from circulation in China. The official US read-out was bare bones, which is the diplomatic practice when there is nothing positive to say."
  Meanwhile, the U.S. has warned European allies that Russia asked China for surface-to-air missiles, drones, armored vehicles, logistics vehicles, and intelligence-related equipment – and that China responded positively. Bloomberg notes that the request has alarmed Biden administration officials who are seeking to prevent China from coming to Vladimir Putin’s aid in the war, which could potentially escalate it into a truly World War.

  Days after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres addressed an emergency session of the UN General Assembly. He said at the time that the thought of a nuclear war is "simply inconceivable" - but warned world powers they must do everything possible in terms of diplomacy from reaching a nuclear showdown scenario.
  But now more than two weeks into the war, and with ratcheted warnings flying between NATO/Western capitals and Moscow, the UN chief raised his threat assessment in a new statement Monday, warning the world that it now stands at a new dangerous precipice.
  "United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday sounded the alarm over Russia raising the alert level for its nuclear forces, describing it a 'bone-chilling development' and added that the prospect of nuclear conflict was back within realm of possibility," according to Reuters.

  - Something like this we have never had before, not only a detailed combat action map, but locations of all the specific military units.
  - The second is a hotel of recently arrived mercenaries that were staying in this hotel for a meet and greet prior to Ukraine deciding what use to put them to.
  - This shows that Russian military Intel wants to send a message to all the incoming mercenaries that they have put a team on teaching them that staying home and minding their own business might have been better.
  - I think now they may not be staying in hotels.

• NEW RESERVE CURRENCY? SAY HELLO TO RUSSIAN GOLD AND THE CHINESE PETROYUAN - March 15, 2022
  Translation: as China is as much a Eurasian power as Russia, they need to coordinate their strategies to bypass the US unipolar system.
  The Eurasian system will be based on "a new international currency," most probably with the yuan as a reference, calculated as an index of the national currencies of the participating countries, as well as commodity prices. The first draft will be already discussed by the end of the month.
  The Eurasian system is bound to become a serious alternative to the US dollar, as the EAEU may attract not only nations that have joined BRI (Kazakhstan, for instance, is a member of both) but also the leading players in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as well as ASEAN. West Asian actors – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon – will be inevitably interested.
  In the medium to long term, the spread of the new system will translate into the weakening of the Bretton Woods system, which even serious US market players/strategists admit is rotten from the inside. The US dollar and imperial hegemony are facing stormy seas.

So what if escalation could lead increasing destruction and a truly catastrophic denouement? After all, we are the good guys, which means we never have to say we are sorry.
  Despite Moscow’s botched invasion, mostly the result of unrealistic political assumptions, the Russian military is competent and well- equipped. And absent a lengthy and substantial military buildup, that force would retain local superiority. American intervention would turn the conflict into one of national survival for Moscow. Which is prepared to employ battlefield nuclear weapons if necessary to counteract America’s conventional superiority.

  China and Saudi Arabia want to switch their oil trade to payment in Chinese renminbi, or yuan. This will break the power of the petrodollar and if more follow, the collapse of the US empire is imminent.
  When the U.S. dollar, the reserve currency, was decoupled from reference to gold in 1971, it had actually lost its position as reserve currency. It no longer had any real-backed value. To make the U.S. dollar still indispensable, Washington ordered the world to trade oil only in dollars. The petrodollar was invented. Anyone who wanted to opt out was mercilessly destroyed by force of arms. Iran, Libya, Iraq. Thus, the U.S. dollar continued to be maintained as a kind of reserve currency, because anyone who wanted to buy oil had to get dollars first.

  Erdogan's leading adviser and spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said Russia is also calling for Ukraine to undergo a disarmament process to mitigate threats to Russia in the future as well as legal protections for the Russian language in Ukraine. Additionally, Putin reportedly desires promises related to the "Denazification" of Ukraine.

When this decision is triggered, the dollar and all dollar-denominated assets will plunge to near-ZERO literally overnight.
  This means all dollar-denominated bank accounts, bonds, pension funds, treasuries and other investment vehicles will essentially be worth zero for the simple reason that all banks and markets will freeze operations. (This is the James Rickards “Ice-9” scenario.)

  For starters, Ukraine was recently accused of launching a Tochka-U missile into Belarus on March 13. The missile was shot down and nobody was injured or killed, but this marks a very important new development. As can be imagined, it only takes a single incident to drag a new country into an already existing war. Belarus could very likely use this attack as justification for entering the war on Russia's side.
• PUTIN: DESTINED TO HANG OR DROWN? - Mar 19, 2022
  Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, 'n Guns blog,
  As we end this third week of World War III it's becoming clear that the West’s end-game strategy is now regime change in Russia. As the money and weapons pour into Ukraine the Ukrainian Flag further morphs into the 21st century’s version of 'Old Shoe,' all around the Twittersphere.
  Even Paul Craig Roberts is trying to figure out why Putin isn't treating his enemies more ruthlessly. We awake Americans have a real sense of the depravity that our leaders carry and at times I think we get carried away with our own insights here.

  As I said would happen, Russia's go-slow war has played 100% into their enemies' hands. Russia needed a quick victory to forestall a devastating psyops campaign against her and to intimidate further NATO expansion. What the Kremlin achieved by believing that the West would respect humanitarian intentions is infamy. Instead of discouraging provocations of Russia that will eventually lead to nuclear war, the Kremlin’s liberal goody-goodly war policy, which the West sees as irresolution, has encouraged more provocations

No more war, economic hardships, conflicting political entities, private ownership, etc. Everyone will be under the umbrella of a planetary government. Everyone will be safe. There won’t be any more conflicts because there won’t be any more independent countries.
  It won't necessarily mean that geographical borders and unique cultures will altogether disappear, it will mean that a global communist dictatorship resembling China will be implemented. Social credit scores, universal income and rights, constant surveillance of your whereabouts on and off the "meta verse". These will slowly become part of the "norm" as the globalists control and surveil your every movement and thought. All in the name of global safety.

  Update(12:15ET): Greater escalation is in the air as two nuclear-armed superpowers continue stumbling toward a hugely alarming WWIII scenario as the Russian invasion of Ukraine reaches almost a full month. The Wall Street Journal on Monday has cited US defense officials who say Washington is covertly sending Soviet-made air defense equipment to Ukraine to help repel Russian air power. It seems this is the Biden administration's 'alternative' to directly imposing a no-fly zone, yet it's still a step in that direction.
  "The U.S. is sending some of the Soviet-made air defense equipment it secretly acquired decades ago to bolster the Ukrainian military as it seeks to fend off Russian air and missile attacks, U.S. officials said," WSJ writes. "The systems, which one U.S. official said include the SA-8, are decades old and were obtained by the U.S. so it could examine the technology used by the Russian military and which Moscow has exported around the world."

  Despite significant progress in reducing nuclear weapon arsenals since the Cold War, the world’s combinedinventory of warheads remains at an uncomfortably high level.
  As Visual Capitalist's Anshool Deshmukh details below, towards the late 1980s, the world reached its peak of stockpiled warheads, numbering over 64,000. In modern times, nine countries - the U.S., Russia, France, China, the UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea—are estimated to possess roughly 12,700 nuclear warheads.
  The animated chart above by Visual Capitalist creator James Eagle shows the military stockpile of nuclear warheads that each country has possessed since 1945.

  It looks as though progressives have finally been smacked over the head with reality long enough to realize that tax cuts are actually beneficial to American families and the economy. And just think - all it took was $7/gallon gas!
  Republican led states like Maryland and Georgia are working out ways to try and provide relief at the pump for consumers by suspending their respective states' gas taxes. The move comes at the same time that Capitol Hill is trying to pass similar federal legislation, according to a new report by Insider.
  The temporary gas tax holiday for both states was announced late last week, as gas prices in the U.S. continue to surge as a result of both the Biden administration's energy policies and geopolitical tensions and sanctions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  The current average price of gas was $4.26 as of Sunday, but had hit as high as $4.33 per gallon on March 11, the report notes. Crude prices nearly doubled from their Winter 2021 lows over the last few weeks, with WTI touching higher than $120/barrel at one point.

  By Frank Fang of the Epoch Times
  China has fully militarized at least three of the islands that the regime built in the disputed South China Sea, Adm. John Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said on March 20.
  "I think over the past 20 years, we’ve witnessed the largest military buildup since World War II by the PRC [People’s Republic of China]," Aquilino told The Associated Press."They have advanced all their capabilities and that buildup of weaponization is destabilizing to the region."
  China has equipped Mischief Reef, Subi Reef, and Fiery Cross Reef with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, laser and jamming equipment, and aircraft hangers, Aquilino said. The missile systems could easily target any civilian and military planes flying over the disputed waters, he added.
  "So that's the threat that exists, that's why it’s so concerning for the militarization of these islands," Aquilino said. "They threaten all nations who operate in the vicinity and all the international sea and airspace."

  2. In your decades-long campaign of biological warfare against little Cuba, including the distribution of hemorrhagic fever, and the swine flu that caused Cuba to kill all 500,000 pigs in the country, the evidence of US responsibility is overwhelming. You have not only lied about this for 70 years but tried to turn the tables by accusing Cuba of being "a pariah state" with a germ warfare program. Would you care to retract your false accusations and finally admit to the world what you did?
  3. Please explain why the US has some 400 military bio-weapons labs scattered in (mostly poor and backward) countries around the world, including new ones in Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Why not build them in your own backyard? Several nations are demanding that you dismantle these labs and take them home where they belong. Do you intend to comply?

As Wikipedia summarises it for my tired eyes this morning thus: “posited that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect. The domino theory was used by successive US administrations during the Cold War to justify the need for American intervention around the world.” Remember the Vietnam War and the US destabilization of Chile?

  On Wednesday, J.P. Morgan Strategic Research (these are the guys who actually have some good ideas, and are not propaganda broken records who only purpose is to get retail investors to buy whatever their prop traders have to sell) hosted a webinar featuring leading experts from the "think tank" community, who previously served in US and European policymaking positions, to discuss the possible scenarios that could play out from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (replay link here).
  Speakers concurred that the war could be protracted with the possibility of further sanctions, led by the US, although a ban on oil and gas exports from Russia is unlikely to materialize given Europe’s dependency. While not an imminent scenario, speakers did not rule out the possibility of the threat and potential use of tactical nuclear weapons. The speakers also discussed the efficacy of sanctions, the longer-term unintended consequences and the implications for US-China relations.
• RUSSIA SIGNALS IT WILL LIMIT SCOPE TO "COMPLETE LIBERATION OF DONBAS" - SAYS "NO PROGRESS" IN TALKS - Mar 25, 2022
  Update(11:43ET): In what's looking like a hugely significant first sign that Russia could be pulling back on the scope of its Ukraine operations, Bloomberg reports Friday that the Kremlin may be limiting its key military objectives to taking full control over the Donbas region. This despite multiple parts of the county, including outside the capital of Kiev, still witnessing intense fighting and shelling.
  The hugely important Friday Bloomberg report says that "After a month of fighting that’s yielded limited territorial gains, the Russian military said it's focusing efforts on taking full control of Ukraine’s Donbas region, potentially a sign it's backing away from hopes of taking larger swathes of the country."
  The Russian military's first deputy chief of the General Staff Sergei Rudskoi said the following as quoted in Interfax: "Our forces will focus on the main thing - the complete liberation of Donbas."

  G7 leaders by week's end following Thursday's trio of Ukraine-related summits, for which Biden was present in Brussels, agreed to launch new measures seeking to crack down on Russia's ability to evade US and EU led financial sanctions. As a Thursday White House statement announced, "G7 and EU announce sanctions evasion initiative to prevent circumvention and backfilling of our unprecedented sanctions; continue to blunt Central Bank of the Russian Federation’s ability to deploy international reserves including gold."
  The statement additionally detailed that the US and its allies will "continue to work jointly to blunt Russia's ability to deploy its international reserves to prop up Russia's economy and fund Putin’s war, including by making clear that any transaction involving gold related to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation is covered by existing sanctions."
  It's part of what Prime Minister Boris Johnson at Thursday's G7 meeting dubbed tightening "the economic vice" around Putin, ensuring that he can't sell the country's gold elsewhere - and to thwart this perhaps vital final lifeline (the possible crypto lifeline notwithstanding) for the Russian economy and to prop up the rouble.

• EU STEPS BACK FROM IMPRACTICAL RUSSIA OIL EMBARGO: KEMP - Mar 26, 2022
  By John Kemp, Senior Market Analyst at Reuters
  EU leaders have stepped back from imposing an immediate embargo on Russian crude and petroleum product imports as the impracticality of the policy has become clear. Imposing an immediate embargo on Russia’s fossil fuels “from one day to the next would mean plunging our country and the whole of Europe into a recession,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz told German lawmakers this week.
  Russia’s exports of crude and petroleum products to Europe are the second largest bilateral flow of oil between any two trading partners in the world, behind the United States and Canada, according to data from BP.
  Russia supplied 29% of Europe's crude imports and 51% of the continent's petroleum product imports in 2019, the last year before the pandemic ("Statistical review of world energy", BP, 2020).

His comments were the most detailed official accounting of Russian military performance since the Feb. 24 invasion."

• HOW THE WEST'S BAN ON RUSSIAN GOLD COULD BACKFIRE - Mar 27, 2022
  Authored by Alex Kimani via OilPrice.com,
  • The latest round of sanctions imposed on Moscow by the West is drawing some mixed reactions from experts.
  • The U.S. announcement to block gold transactions was done alongside Group of Seven and European Union allies that will also impose the gold reserve ban.
  • “Any sanctions on Russia’s gold reserves would do little more than reveal the degree to which government bureaucrats don’t understand gold.”
  Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine about a month ago, the U.S. and its western allies swiftly imposed a raft of economic and trade sanctions on Russia, notably on buying oil, a partial SWIFT ban and against billionaire oligarchs seen as close to President Vladimir Putin. Russia hit back by imposing export bans including telecoms, medical, vehicle, agricultural, and electrical equipment, as well as some forestry products such as timbe

• KREMLIN THREATENS TO HALT SUPPLIES AS G7 MINISTERS REJECT "UNACCEPTABLE" DEMAND TO PAY FOR GAS IN RUBLES - Mar 28, 2022
  Update(9:01ET): Russia on Monday has issued a firm and unyielding response to G-7 ministers who had dismissed as "unacceptable" its plan to only accept ruble payments for Russian gas going to "unfriendly" nations.
  Earlier Monday German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said from Berlin that the Kremlin demand for natural gas contracts to be paid in rubles is a "one-sided and clear breach of contracts" - saying the contracts must be honored under prior conditions, according to Bloomberg. "That means that a payment in rubles is not acceptable and we urge the relevant companies not to comply with Putin’s demand," Habeck said. "Putin’s effort to drive a wedge between us is obvious but you can see that we won’t allow ourselves to be divided and the answer from the G-7 is clear: the contracts will be honored."
  The Kremlin's quick shooting down of the German economy minister's comments and the G-7's stance on the ruble came Monday via a Russian lawmaker to state-run RIA Novosti: "Russian lawmaker Abramov says G7's refusal to pay in Russian roubles for gas will definitely lead to a halt in supplies."

• PUTIN SIGNS DECREE ORDERING GAS EXPORTS TO BE HALTED IF BUYERS DON'T PAY IN RUBLES - Mar 31, 2022
  Contrary to expectations that Vladimir Putin was bluffing about collecting rubles in exchange for Russian energy exports, moments ago a decree signed by the Russian president confirmed that that was not the case.
  According to Bloomberg, Putin said he had signed a decree demanding payment in rubles for Russian gas supplies, which is set to begin April 1 as previously reported. According to the decree, while Russia will continue to supply gas at set volumes and prices, it will demand that buyers of gas open accounts in Russian banks, and warned that Moscow can halt gas contracts if buyers don't pay in rubles; additionally, new proceedings in EUR or USD could be blocked. Pushing what many viewed as a bluff to the edge, Putin said that active contracts will be halted if demands are not met, and explained that the move is meant to increase settlements in national currencies.
  Putin's decree follows an earlier report in the Russian press that Gazprom was studying options of halting gas supplies to Europe amid RUB payment issues. It also follows comments from the Kremlin which suggested that it would look into the idea from lawmakers to ask other nations to pay for a wider range of Russia exports in rubles.

He suggested this is "dangerous" even for broader European security, in what appears a veiled threat.
  "Polish propaganda is accustomed to pinning all problems on Russia, in this sense it is similar to that of the Baltics and Ukraine," he told the Solovyov Live show, in statements later translated by state media. "On Polish television, without a twinge of conscience, they have displayed a map of the partition of Ukraine… Its clear that this cannot be done legally. But Warsaw has a long-tried method of justifying its unseemly actions by skillfully using anti-Russian rhetoric," Medvedev said.

  CEO of Germany's multinational BASF SE, the world's largest chemical producer, has warned that curbing or cutting off energy imports from Russia would bring into doubt the continued existence of small and medium-sized energy companies, and further would likely spiral Germany into its most "catastrophic" economic crisis going back to the end of World War 2.
  Company CEO Martin Brudermuller issued the words in an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper just ahead of German officials by midweek giving an "early warning" to industries and the population of possible natural gas shortages, as Russia appears ready to firmly hold to Putin's recent declaration that "unfriendly countries" must settle energy payments in rubles, related to the Ukraine crisis and resultant Western sanctions.
  According to Bloomberg he mused that while "Germany could be independent from Russia gas in four to five years" it remains that "LNG imports cannot be increased quickly enough to replace all Russian gas flows in the short term."

  His statements were generally in a positive direction, saying that in light of Ukraine of late showing "more understanding" as to the Crimea and Donbas issues, Moscow stands ready to engage on Kiev's proposals on neutral and non-nuclear status for the country, according to Bloomberg. However, France and the UK in particular, are urging the Ukrainians against compromise until Russian troops withdraw from the country.

  "Germany has approved the delivery of 56 combat tanks to Ukraine, a German defense ministry spokesperson told CNN Friday," according to a breaking report. But more specifically these are in actuality 'infantry fighting vehicles' - and lighter than what CNN is referencing as conventional "combat tanks".
• NEW BENJAMIN FULFORD - FAKE BIDEN, FAKE UKRANIAN WAR, FAKE PANDEMIC - IS IT ALL ABOUT TO END? - Apr 01, 2022
  There are growing signs we in the West are all watching a giant fake show and that the show is about to end. This came up in a conversation last week between a senior Russian FSB agent and a member of the White Dragon Society. “My guess is that we don’t actually have any presidents and all of this is a kind of staged reality show created before our eyes,” noted the FSB member. There is plenty of evidence to back this up.
  Did you know, for example, that according to the official Russian Tass News Agency that Ukraine has not declared war on Russia? Also that the Russian gas still being sent through that country is still the main source of revenue for the government of Ukraine?

  After European nations imported the most gas from Russian sources yesterday in months, scrambling to stock up on supplies as Russian President Vladimir Putin's deadline to either pay for gas in rubles (or be cut off) came and went, Russian gas giant Gazprom has officially halted all deliveries to Europe via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, a critical artery for European energy supplies.">
  Instead of flowing toward Germany and the EU, gas supplies on Friday and Saturday started flowing in the opposite direction, according to Gascade, the network operator.
  Another problem for pipeline-dependent Europe: the continent presently doesn't have the infrastructure to allow it to rapidly ramp up imports of LNG, which must be carefully processed and "regassified" before it can be distributed to utilities and other distributors of energy.
• EDGING TOWARDS A GOLD STANDARD - Apr 02, 2022
  Authored by Alasdair Macleod via GoldMoney.com,
  Commentators are trying to make sense of Russian moves... However, there is a back story which differs from much of the speculation, which this article addresses.
  The Russians have not put the rouble on some sort of gold standard. Instead, they have repeated the Nixon/Kissinger strategy which created the petrodollar in 1973 by getting the Saudis to agree to accept only dollars for oil. This time, nations deemed by Russia to be unfriendly will be forced to buy roubles – roughly 2 trillion by the EU alone based on last year’s natural gas and oil imports from Russia — driving up the exchange rate. The rouble has now doubled against the dollar from its low point of RUB 150 to RUB 75 yesterday in just over three weeks. The Russian Central Bank will soon be able to normalise the domestic economy by reducing interest rates and removing exchange controls.
  The Russians and Chinese will be acutely aware that Western currencies, particularly the yen and euro, are likely to be undermined by recent developments. The financial war, which has always been in the background, is emerging into plain sight and becoming a battlefield between fiat currencies, and it is full on.
  The winner by default is almost certainly gold, now the only reliable reserve asset for those not aligned with Russia’s “unfriendlies”. But it is still a long way from backing any currency.

  It just so happens that the Ukrainian parliament (also known as Rada) passed a new measure rewarding anyone, even Russian soldiers, to turn over equipment to Ukraine for a reward.
  "For a helicopter - 500 thousand dollars, a tank - 100 thousand, respectively. If, for example, someone is ready to come to us by plane - it's a million dollars," the first vice-speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Oleksandr Kornienko said in a statement Saturday.

  Specifically he said Poland stands open and ready to deploy US nuclear weapons on its soil. This is the same ruling party politician who previously called for a NATO 'peacekeeping' mission in Ukraine, which other Western leaders have rejected given it would mean a direct shooting war with Russia.
  "The eastern flank must be much better protected in the future than before," Kaczynski told Germany's Welt Am Sonntag newspaper. He also explained the need for America to increase its troops presence in the region by at least half.

Yet he said that the delegations that are still negotiating must agree to a firm ceasefire document, which hasn't been achieved yet.
  "No, Putin has never rejected (a possible meeting with Zelensky). Putin has never ruled out such a meeting and this meeting, yes, hypothetically it is possible," the Kremlin official told Russia-1 TV channel. "Yet on order for it (the meeting) to happen, it is necessary for a certain document to be generated by the two delegations. Not a set of ideas but a specific written document. Then the time will come for such a meeting," he added. But he blamed the Ukrainians for not fulfilling obligations thus far. This as fresh US intelligence statements have emerged saying Russia wants to declare victory over the Donbas region by May 9th.

  Following a weekend where Ukraine released a barrage of videos it says depicts massacres of civilians in the town of Bucha on the outskirts of Kiev, Western powers are mulling and readying a next wave of anti-Russia sanctions due to what the US and others say are war crimes.
  The European Council said in a Monday statement: "The European Union condemns in the strongest possible terms the reported atrocities committed by the Russian armed forces in a number of occupied Ukrainian towns, that have now been liberated."
  Ukrainian and Western media sources are widely citing that at least 300 residents of Bucha were killed, a town now back in control of Ukrainian forces, after the area endured "unspeakable horrors". Western media and officials are now increasingly using the word genocide to describe it. Ukrainian authorities say they've counted 410 among the bodies, most of them with gunshots, strewn about the town.

Zelensky is expected to urge more help from the West before an international audience after previously charging Moscow with conducting "genocide".
  Biden had on Monday talked about "war crimes" and the need to bring Vladimir Putin to international justice at The Hague. As The Wall Street Journal describes, "The scale of the killings prompted Western leaders to vow a wide-ranging investigation into alleged war crimes and impose further penalties on Moscow as international outrage grows." Biden had told reporters of Putin, "This guy is brutal, and what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous and everyone has seen it." Watch Live:

• SPECIAL OPERATION "Z": HOW MANY TANKS DO UKRAINE AND RUSSIA HAVE LEFT AT THE FRONT? - April 6, 2022
  And in early March, Russian missiles actually destroyed the Zhytomyr tank repair plant. Without them, on an industrial scale, there was simply no one to bring back to life the arsenal of Ukrainian AFVs that had been rotting on conservation for decades.
  Meanwhile, if we focus on the above data, at the disposal of Kyiv today there is no more than a third of the initial strike potential, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine had at the end of February. The rest in continuous battles has already been turned into decay and ashes.
  After all, in Russia, according to the estimates of the American portal Globalfirepower.com, there are up to 12 thousand tanks alone. Taking into account those that are scattered from Kaliningrad to the Pacific Ocean, weapons storage bases. Most of them are T-72 “Ural” vehicles of various modifications (T-72A and T-72B, T-72BA and T-72B3) and T-80.
  A certain problem is that the bulk of these fairly old AFVs, like in Ukraine, are also, no doubt, not in the best technical condition. But no one bombed our tank repair enterprises! And even now, at the command of Moscow, they are ready to begin a large-scale restoration of the necessary level of strike potential of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

  NOW CONFIRMED: U.S Major General Roger L. Cloutier was captured by Russia while trying to flee Mariupol after giving military direction to Ukrainian and mercenary forces.
  I had previously posted this as rumor. It is not rumor anymore. It is bad. An overt act of war the United States expected to get away with. Here is how he got caught, based on a summary of previous reports posted here
  Russian forces cut off all ground escape routes which "trapped the high command of Ukrainian forces", which ended up not being Ukrainian at all. The West was commanding the Ukraine war for most likely most of it. To avoid being caught, Western forces then attempted to clear their people via helicopter. Russia did a good job of shooting down helicopters. As the Russians advanced, military leaders from several countries, fed by American intelligence, sought refuge in a steel mill that American intelligence knew Russia wanted to avoid destroying at all cost. The steel mill was an excellent place to fight from which was a bonus, it was very easy to defend.
  The American and Western forces kept sending helicopters only to have them shot down before reaching the steel mill. Then the Russians changed tactics. The tactical change was to allow the helicopters to reach the steel mill and land in open areas on the steel mill grounds, and then shoot them down when they tried to leave. They allowed, over time, 8 to land and pick up people from inside the steel mill. 2 of them got away, but in one of the six they shot down they found General Cloutier.
  THAT IS BAD NEWS, because it proved beyond a doubt that the U.S. really was fighting the Ukraine war, on Ukrainian soil. Russia can rightfully do whatever it wants to retaliate now.
• US APPROVES $95 MILLION PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS BOOST FOR TAIWAN - Apr 06, 2022
  At a moment the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told Congressional leaders Tuesday that "significant international conflict between great powers" is now "increasing, not decreasing" - the US has announced approval of the sale of up to $95 million in new training and equipment for Taiwan.
  Crucially and quite provocatively from Beijing's perspective, this new sale is focused on supporting Taiwan's Patriot missile defense system, seen as key to defending the island in the event of an invasion.
• IF POLAND HOSTS US NUKES, RUSSIA WILL STATION NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALONG WESTERN BORDER: KREMLIN - Apr 06, 2022
  As fully expected, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday blasted Poland's offer to the United States of its 'readiness' to host nuclear weapons for NATO. The recent words of Deputy Prime Minister of Poland Jaroslaw Kaczynski were widely reported this weekend. He told Germany's Welt Am Sonntag newspaper: "If the Americans asked us to store American nuclear weapons in Poland, we would be open to it."
  "If the US were to ask us to host nuclear weapons in Poland, we would be open to this option. Such a step would enhance deterrence against Moscow," he had said.
  In fresh reaction, Peskov described that this would constitute a "serious threat" to Russia's security. He described in the comments to French TV channel LCI on Wednesday that it would force the Kremlin to ensure its nuclear readiness is sufficient to repel the potential deployment of US nukes so close to Russia's border.

  He described what the Pentagon sees as what's to be a "very protracted conflict" to come that's "at least measured in years." As we reported earlier, Gen. Milley further called Russia's military operation the "greatest threat to peace and security of Europe, perhaps the world in my 40 years of service and in uniform."

  The old economic order, in which the dollar's centrality to global trade remains king, is beginning to fade. The latest example of the dollar's demise comes as China purchases coal and oil from Russia in yuan due to Western sanctions isolating Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system.
  Chinese commodity firms purchased Russian coal in local currency in March, and the first shipments are expected to arrive in China this month, according to Bloomberg, citing Chinese consultancy Fenwei Energy Information Service Co. Traders said this coal shipment paid in yuan would be the first since the U.S. and Europe unleashed harsh sanctions severing some top Russian banks from SWIFT.
  Traders are also reporting Russian crude bought in yuan. The first Eastern Siberia Pacific Ocean grade crude shipment will arrive at Chinese refiners in May.

  NBC News has a new report out citing multiple anonymous US officials, humorously titled "In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn’t rock solid".
  The officials say the Biden administration has been rapidly pushing out "intelligence” about Russia's plans in Ukraine that is "low-confidence" or "based more on analysis than hard evidence", or even just plain false, in order to fight an information war against Putin.
  The report says that toward this end the US government has deliberately circulated false or poorly evidenced claims about impending chemical weapons attacks, about Russian plans to orchestrate a false flag attack in the Donbass to justify an invasion, about Putin's advisors misinforming him, and about Russia seeking arms supplies from China.

• BATTLE FOR MARIUPOL COULD BRING DOWN LIBERAL HOUSE OF CARDS IN FRANCE - April 7, 2022
  As Russian forces are tightening the noose around Mariupol, controlled by the Azov Battalion neo-Nazi group, a plethora of almost surreal events has been taking place in the passing days. At least half a dozen Ukrainian helicopters have been shot down by Russian forces. These suicidal attempts to reach the encircled Nazi elements in Mariupol can only lead to a conclusion that there are some extremely important individuals there.
  The question is, who are they and to whom are they so important that the Ukrainian side is ready to send few helicopters to virtually certain death, only to prevent their capture?
  Recent developments may offer some insight, and most unexpectedly, they involve French President Emmanuel Macron. There have been numerous reports that paraphernalia belonging to the French Foreign Legion have been found during operations in Mariupol.
• NATO NAZIS CAUGHT AS THE TRAP CLOSES IN MARIUPOL - April 7, 2022
  According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, on the morning of 5 April, another attempt by the Kiev regime to evacuate the leaders of the Azov nationalist battalion was foiled near Mariupol. Two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters attempting to break through to the city from the sea were reportedly shot down by man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
  According to unconfirmed reports by Russian military commanders on the ground and several sources, NATO officers and even a general of the US and European Armies may be blocked in Mariupol. Some sources report that the Russian Army had already taken one NATO commander, Lieutenant General Roger L. Clothier, near Mariupol. Other sources allegedly report his death. Reports about NATO commanders taking shelter with Azov militants in Mariupol may explain why NATO member states especially France and Turkey are asking to implement a humanitarian mission in Mariupol, but only with the participation of their military.

  Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the UK's Sky News, "We have significant losses of troops," and admitted "and it's a huge tragedy for us."

  Just the other day, the European Union publicly announced they are allocating hundreds of millions of EUROS for war preps, specifically, NUCLEAR war preps. (Story HERE)
  The situation right now is very, VERY, bad. If a wider war breaks out in Europe, and it appears quite clearly that it will as we already see Chinese troops being deployed Saturday morning into Serbia (Story HERE), then people in the USA should EXPECT that our nation will be attacked. We will very likely face missile strikes upon OUR military bases, upon OUR ports and port cities, and upon OUR infrastructure.
  Water, electric, communications, are all vulnerable to attack, and losing them would cripple society for weeks or months.

  During a meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels among the alliance's foreign ministers on Thursday, the US and UK led the way in forging a fresh agreement to give Ukraine "new and heavier" weapons, at a moment a limited number of Czech-provided Soviet-designed T-72M tanks have already been transferred to Kiev - reportedly with the quiet assistance of Washington.
  "There was support for countries to supply new and heavier equipment to Ukraine, so that they can respond to these new threats from Russia," British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said at a press briefing.
  Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that the US is "looking across the board right now, not only at what we have provided ... and whether there are additional systems that would make a difference." The latest cutting edge weaponry the Pentagon has transferred to Ukraine has included Switchblade drones, which are low-cost Kamikaze drones capable of destroying armored vehicles and tanks in the more advanced version of the system.

  Authored by Alasdair Macleod via GoldMoney.com,
  We will look back at current events and realize that they marked the change from a dollar-based global economy underwritten by financial assets to commodity-backed currencies. We face a change from collateral being purely financial in nature to becoming commodity based. It is collateral that underwrites the whole financial system.
  The ending of the financially based system is being hastened by geopolitical developments. The West is desperately trying to sanction Russia into economic submission, but is only succeeding in driving up energy, commodity, and food prices against itself. Central banks will have no option but to inflate their currencies to pay for it all. Russia is linking the rouble to commodity prices through a moving gold peg instead, and China has already demonstrated an understanding of the West’s inflationary game by having stockpiled commodities and essential grains for the last two years and allowed her currency to rise against the dollar.

  The Chinese government has greatly "accelerated" its nuclear weapons program due to a revised threat assessment of risk posed by the United States, according to a new in-depth Wall Street Journal report that cites both Chinese and US officials. It follows a Pentagon assessment from last year which laid out Beijing's drive to "modernize, diversify and expand" its nuclear arsenal.
  The fresh WSJ investigative report appears to confirm the prior US military assessment that China seeks to expanding "land, sea and air- based nuclear delivery platforms" while establishing more necessary infrastructure to support it.
  While its nuclear goals predate Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the war which kicked off on Feb.24 is believed to have given greater impetus to the belief China needs a stronger deterrent arsenal. Specifically, the report underscores that "Chinese leaders see a stronger nuclear arsenal as a way to deter the U.S. from getting directly involved in a potential conflict over Taiwan."

  The barrage of sea-launched Kalibr missiles destroyed four S-300 launchers and as many as 25 Ukrainian troops in the Sunday strike, ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov claimed. He used the old name of the city, which Ukrainian authorities renamed Dnepro in 2016 to distance it from the Soviet period of the country's history.

• BREAKING. RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET’S FLAGSHIP MOSKVA EXPERIENCED EXPLOSION OF AMMUNITION. DAMAGES SUSTAINED. CREW EVACUATED - 14.04.2022
  The Russian official media outlet RIA Novosti quoted the Russian Defence Ministry as saying that the missile cruiser Moskva of the Russian Black Sea Fleet had detonated ammunition as a result of a fire.
  There were conflicting reports from the Ukrainian side. The head of the Odessa regional military administration, Maxim Marchenko, said that the cruiser was hit by two Neptune anti-ship missiles.
  There is a strong possibility that the burning of the cruiser Moscow is the result of a strike against it by missiles deployed in Ukraine, sabotage or negligence. This is a suitable diversion from the events taking place in Mariupol.
  According to preliminary information, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva, was indeed attacked by the Neptune missile launcher from the coastline between Odessa and Nikolayev. The missiles struck the port side, causing the ship to roll heavily. The crew of about 500 were evacuated after the threat of detonation of the ammunition. The buoyancy of the cruiser was made difficult by the sea weather conditions. As a result of all the cumulative factors, according to preliminary information, the cruiser sank.
  In any case, this is a major blow to Russia’s military image.

  Update(1607ET): In an afternoon briefing the Pentagon had said Russia's Moskva warship was still battling a fire, and likely being towed to port after an emergency evacuation of the over 500 crewmembers.
  Now the Russian Defense Ministry is for the first time confirming that its Moskva missile cruise ship has sunk, according to RIA. Crucially, the Russians are still denying that Ukraine struck the ship with one more more Neptune anti-ship missiles, as Ukraine's southern military command is saying. Here's the statement from RIA
  The missile cruiser "Moskva", which was damaged due to the detonation of ammunition, sank during towing, the Defense Ministry said.
  "During the towing of the Moskva cruiser to the port of destination, the ship lost its stability due to damage to the hull received during the fire from the detonation of ammunition. In the conditions of stormy seas, the ship sank," the message says.

• UPDATE. RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENCE: THE CRUISER MOSKVA SUNK - Apr 15, 2022

  The Russian Defence Ministry reports that when the Moskva cruiser was being towed to its destination port, the ship lost its stability due to hull damage sustained during a fire caused by the detonation of ammunition.
  The ship sank in stormy sea conditions.

  SF: The Russian MoD’s reference to weather conditions raises many questions. The weather in that part of the Black Sea was not stormy, neither at the time of the incident, nor at the time the cruiser was allegedly in tow.
  The Russian Defence Ministry has explained the current situation with the cruiser Moskva.
  The ship was damaged as a result of fire and detonation of ammunition, but did not sink.
  The fire on the Moskva cruiser has been contained.
  As of the morning of April 14, there was no open burning. Ammunition explosions have been stopped.
  The cruiser Moskva remains buoyant. The main missile armament is not damaged.
  The crew has been evacuated to the Black Sea Fleet ships in the area.
  Measures are being taken to tow the cruiser to the port.
  Causes of the fire are being established.
  The Kremlin announced that Putin had been informed of the situation with the Moskva cruiser.
• SITREP: OPERATION Z APRIL 14 - Apr 14, 2022 Let's start with the biggest news today, the Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva cruiser suffered some sort of major 'incident'. I had an entire writeup planned to explain how Ukraine could (or could not) possibly have shot it, but now I won’t waste valuable analysis time because more and more it appears Ukraine either was not overtly involved, or if it was it was through some sort of asymmetric/sabotage methods, etc. Even the Pentagon now reports there’s no data to confirm that Ukraine hit it with any missiles and all such claims come only from Ukrainian OSINT propagandists on twitter.
  In fact they seemed to have cleverly combined several real life data points to try to weave their tale, i.e. using the fact that a Russian frigate shot down a TB2 drone a couple days ago as a means to “prove” that Ukrainian TB2’s are operating over the Black Sea and that their alleged strike on the Moskva consisted of a TB2 running a decoy/screen op to "distract" the ship's crew, while Ukrainian Neptune missiles simultaneously were fired on it. This is not very believable as these ships are capable of tracking dozens of objects, nor is the damage now being reported consistent with massive ship-killing missiles (based on the Soviet Kh-55) successfully hitting the ship.
  Anti-ship missiles like Neptune are sea-skimming and would have hit low on the hull and not on top where the 'artillery/AA' are stationed.
  The latest reports state that the ship has reached Sevastopol on its own power and that the ammunition fires were contained. We have no info how accurate any of this is, so we have no choice but to standby for further updates. All photos/videos released by the Ukr side so far have been fake, various manipulations of photos of burning Iranian ships, fake Norwegian missile strike test videos, etc.

• PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY: WAS RUSSIAN WARSHIP SUNK BY AMERICAN HARPOONS (AND AEGIS)? - April 15, 2022
  Several batches of Ukrainian naval cadets trained at the Naval Training School in Biloxi, Mississippi, have already returned home to Ukraine and were deployed in Odessa and the rest are now headed back to Ukraine.
  Besides receiving advanced tactical training on operating the Switchblade kamikaze drones and unmanned coastal defense boats, included in the additional $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine announced by the Biden administration on Wednesday, the Ukrainian naval cadets also received training on operating long-range anti-ship missiles in the United States.
  Reportedly, the US-trained Ukrainian naval forces deployed in Odesa in the southeast scored two hits of Harpoon anti-ship missiles on the Russian guided-missile cruiser Moskva operating 60 miles south off the coast of Odessa that punched a hole in the warship’s hull and ignited a blaze that, in turn, caused the massive amount of ammunition loaded on the cruiser to explode, and the battleship subsequently sank to the bottom of the Black Sea.

  Russia sent a formal diplomatic note to the US this week calling on Washington and NATO to stop arming Ukraine. The note, which was obtained by The Washington Post, said the Western campaign to pour weapons into Ukraine was “adding fuel” to the conflict and could lead to “unpredictable consequences.”
  The diplomatic note was sent Tuesday, when news broke of a new massive US military aid package for Ukraine. President Biden announced the new aid on Wednesday, which is worth $800 million and includes howitzers for the first time. The package also includes helicopters, armed Switchblade drones, coastal defense drones, armored vehicles, radar systems, and thousands of Stinger and Javelin missiles.

• RUSSIA SAYS IT SHOT DOWN UKRAINIAN TRANSPORT PLANE CARRYING WESTERN ARMS - Apr 16, 2022
  Update(1632ET): In what appears Moscow's "answer" to the US and NATO countries continuing to supply major weapons systems to Ukrainian forces, state agency TASS is claiming that Russian forces have brought down a Ukrainian military transport plane that was transporting Western arms. It would mark a massive battlefield development if confirmed, potentially escalating conflict more directly with the West, now that Russia is actively targeting Western arms shipments.
  The alleged shoot down occurred outside Odessa via anti-air systems, says TASS, while citing Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov. Though remaining unconfirmed, China state media has also picked up the report, citing the defense ministry statement, which reads:
  "Near Odesa Russian anti-aircraft defense forces have shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane, which was delivering a large shipment of arms supplied to Ukraine by Western counties," Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said Saturday.

  Russia has of late made its intentions clear that its focus of combat operations will remain on liberating the Donbas region in the east. This as the crucial southeast port city of Mariupol reportedly still has a final holdout group of Ukrainian troops fighting as Russia overwhelms the city.
  The Wall Street Journal reports, "Russia called on the last Ukrainian troops fighting in Mariupol to lay down arms on Sunday and observe an hourslong cease-fire that it said would allow them to leave the battlefield unscathed, as it closed in on capturing the strategic port city after weeks of heavy bombardment."
  In a new weekend interview published Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN that his military will not give up an inch of territory in the east, saying the fight for the Donbas could determine the course of the war. He told Jake Tapper that a strong defense of Donbas would likely mean the Russians would be thwarted in attempting to take Kiev again.

• * FRANK ANSWERS TO OUR READERS' QUESTIONS ON MOSKVA CRUISER CASE - 17.04.2022
  – Was the cruiser hit by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles or did it sink as a result of a fire caused on board due to negligence or systems malfunction?
  This question does not have an obvious answer. It is likely that a missile strike took place. But 1-2 Ukrainian anti-ship missiles are definitely not the direct cause of the sinking of the ship. Firstly, a ship of this class can be sunk if an ISCM hits the key components of the ship at the waterline level or hits the main missile warhead, which is obviously not stored “on the deck”. In this case, a significant part of the ship’s crew would be killed.
  – Were NATO forces involved in the attack on the Russian cruiser?
  If we take as a matter of fact the attack on the cruiser by Ukrainian ISCMs, then definitely yes. The reconnaissance and targeting of the missiles could not have been carried out by the available means of the AFU. Clearly, the entire operation was coordinated and controlled by the US headquarters.
  – For what reason were the cruiser's air defences unable to repel a 1- 2 missile strikes or was the crew unable to cope with the fire on board?
  The cruiser Moscow was a missile attack ship. Its own air defence capability was limited by its combat purpose and the specifics of its construction. The cruiser was launched 43 years ago. The air defence coverage of the cruiser was to be provided by escort ships, just as is done with US aircraft carriers or large attack ships of other countries. As for the fire on board, problems with the fire-fighting system have been reported previously on large Russian ships.

  In the city of Mariupol, the mop up operation continues in the large Azovstal industrial plant. Amid the intense bombing of the facilities, DPR and Russian assault groups entered the territory of Azovstal. According to some reports from the area, the northern part of the plant are already under the DPR control.
• "BATTLE OF DONBAS" IN FULL SWING AS RUSSIA LAUNCHES 'HELLISH' ALL-OUT ASSAULT - Apr 19, 2022
  In the overnight hours the "Battle of the Donbass" - as Ukraine's Zelensky is calling it - was launched with a full renewed Russian onslaught, marking the beginning of a second phase of the war which kicked off with the Feb.24 invasion. The opening hours of Tuesday were marked by constant shelling and missile strikes in the region.
  "Another stage of this operation (in eastern Ukraine) is beginning and I am sure this will be a very important moment of this entire special operation," Lavrov announced during a live interview with India Today on Tuesday.
  Importantly, when asked about whether the 'special operation' launch by Vladimir Putin would eventually extend to the capital of Kiev, Lavrov responded: "We are not up for regime change in Ukraine." This coming weeks after Russia's military commanders announced a new focus on liberating the east.

  While the major southeast Ukraine port city of Mariupol has already for weeks been effectively under total siege by Russian forces, a European official cited in The Hill on Tuesday has said "Mariupol will be controlled in the coming days" by the Russian military. It's believed that Vladimir Putin also wants to see a major victory over the Donbas region by the time of Russia's Victory Day holiday on May 9.
  And Western officials are already alleging that Bucha-style mass killings will take place after President Zelensky said Monday that Russia is seeking to "wipe out" Mariupol. It's being commonly estimated that there could still be as many as 100,000 civilians trapped in the city. "The Russians will continue to use artillery and bombings, and at the same time they will push civilians out of the city. So at the end of the day, we do expect a complete destruction of the city and many civilian casualties in Mariupol," the European official added. "My fear is that it’s going to be worse than Bucha."

• CHINA & RUSSIA PLEDGE DEEPENED STRATEGIC TIES 'NO MATTER WHAT' - Apr 20, 2022
  China has remained undeterred by Washington threats over its deepening ties and closer cooperation with Russia even as the Kremlin commits to military takeover of the Donbas region of Ukraine. On Wednesday Beijing affirmed it will "continue strengthening strategic ties with Russia," according to a top diplomat.
  This even as Washington has ramped up the rhetoric seeking to highlight horrific war crimes alleged in places like Bucha, or now Mariupol. While recently the Biden administration admitted it "has not seen" China providing Russia with military equipment, as some prior admin officials alleged was likely happening, the accusation and suspicion has lingered over Beijing, still under Western pressure to come out definitively against the Russian invasion (though it remains that Beijing officials have resisted even using the word "invasion" to describe the conflict).
  "No matter how the international landscape may change, China will continue to strengthen strategic coordination with Russia for win-win cooperation, jointly safeguard the common interests of the two countries and promote the building of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind," Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said in a late Tuesday statement.

  Update(1540ET): The death toll in the massive fire that broke out earlier in the day at a sensitive Russian Defense Ministry research facility in the city of Tver has risen to seven after emergency crews battled the Thursday blaze throughout the afternoon, state-run TASS reports.
  The cause of the fire is still either unknown or not being disclosed by Russian state agencies at this point, but now more questions are being raised as another mysterious large blaze has erupted, this time at Russia's largest chemical plant, a mere hours after the fire in Tver - the latter which had engulfed a facility belonging to the secretive Central Research and Development Institute of Aerospace Defense Troops. UK media is reporting on the latest mystery fire, which marks the 2nd in the day, as follows:
  Huge plumes of smoke were seen enveloping the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant late this afternoon. The cause of the fire remains unknown. Almost 150 plant workers were reportedly evacuated.
  The facility in Kineshma, east of Moscow produces more industrial solvents than any other in Russia. It is less than 1,000km from the border with Ukraine.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told Putin Moscow controlled all of the Ukrainian port city except the Azovstal steel plant. Shoigu said 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers remain holed up inside Azovstal which Kyiv calls the last pocket of resistance in Mariupol. However, Putin ordered Shoigu to call off the "impractical" planned storming of Azovstal.

  Although the names of the victims were not included in a public statement from the Russian government, Tass said an unnamed source later confirmed their identities.
  Investigators said in their statement that they believe Avayev shot his wife and daughter, and then himself.

• SITREP: OPERATION Z, APRIL 22, 2022 - Apr 22, 2022
  The biggest development is the announcement by Russia/Putin of Mariupol's "official liberation." I've written before about how Russia often 'jumps the gun' on announcements, but it’s true that the city proper is liberated with the exception of the industrial complex of Azovstal. With that said, there are still upwards of 2000 or more highly trained, fanatical Azov militants and marine remnants of the 36th Brigade holed up in the factory, and they have extreme amounts of incentive not to surrender any time soon.
  On the topic of sieging the Azovstal, some additional information: Firstly, according to well-connected Aleksandr Sladkov, the sieged Azovstal remnants have around two weeks' worth of food/supplies still left and that they had much more but it was destroyed in Russian strikes. So my original guess was roughly accurate that they could theoretically hold out another week or two, maybe more.
  But with that said, the remaining allied forces will not simply stand idly by and 'wait them out'. The tactic will be to continue air and artillery strikes on the factory complex in order to keep the psychological pressure on the Azovites high to accelerate their eventual surrender.

• RUSSO-UKRAINE WAR (5) - SHRIMPTON - Apr 23, 2022
  The lengthy siege of Mariupol seems finally to be coming to its end. The Ukies and the Biden Administration are likely to be severely embarrassed when the reason emerges why the Azovstal steelworks have been so fiercely defended. It's not what's above ground which matters - it's what's below ground! The clue is bugs, and I'm not talking the sort of bug about which Walt Disney Productions might make a movie starring Dean Jones.
  It's been the longest siege in Europe since the special military operation launched by that nice man Marshal Zhukov against Berlin in 1945. Lots of civilians, sadly, have died, but that is the nature of sieges. If you want to save civilian life, surrender. Thinking back to the German bombardment of the city in World War II, in which Jerry deployed the 31.5" Krupp Schwerer Gustav railroad gun, which fired shells weighing 10,600 lb, I doubt that anyone in Sebastopol is feeling much sympathy.

As of this writing a huge amount of missiles are recorded flying over Ukraine, and Tu-95MS bombers are said to be in the air to contribute their KH-101's.
  Many objects in Dnieperpetrovsk, Kremenchug, Druzhkovka, Poltava, Kharkov, Odessa and elsewhere were all hit with very powerful strikes, multiple missiles at each location. Not only Kalibers from both submarines and ships in the Black Sea, but KH-101 Missiles from Tu-95MS's as well.
  "According to Russian military spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, in the afternoon, "high-precision long-range air-launched missiles" hit a logistics terminal located on a military airfield near Odessa, where "a large batch of foreign weapons received from the United States and European countries was stored."

  Martyanov also stresses, "it is impossible to hide the external impact of the anti-shipping missile – one will immediately know what hit the ship. Moreover, to hit and sink such a target as the Moskva one has to launch a salvo and not only two missiles, likely 3-4 at least. In this case, Russia would know who attacked Moskva.
  Does NATO know? I am positive this event has NATO written all over it, if it is not an internal sabotage which absolutely cannot be excluded at this stage. I am sure if Nebo was operational it would have seen the salvo."
  Which brings us to the inevitable clincher: “If NATO was involved, I am sure we will see some retaliation, after all, as I am on record all the time, US bases in Middle East and elsewhere are nothing more than fat prestigious targets.”
  So get ready: something lethally "asymmetrical" may be about to pop up.

  Russia's Defense Ministry (MoD) announced Wednesday that its forces have taken out a large batch of weapons and ammunition that had been shipped to Kiev by outside Western countries.
  Specifically, Russian warships launched Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea, targeting and destroying a military warehouse said to contain "a large batch of foreign weapons and ammunition, supplied by the US and European countries to the Ukrainian army," according to the MoD statement. While not acknowledged by the Ukrainians or US, it comes after the Kremlin vowed to target Western arms transfers into the country.
• PUTIN WARNS OF "QUICK RESPONSE" IF WEST INTERVENES IN UKRAINE - Apr 27, 2022
  It's been obvious to any outside observer that the US and NATO have committed to a path of deepening involvement in thwarting Russian military action in Ukraine. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spelled it out in his comments just after meeting with President Zelensky on Tuesday, saying the US wants to see a "weakened" Russia and that the Pentagon will "move heaven and earth" to keep arming Ukraine.
  After repeatedly condemning foreign weapons shipments while seeking to destroy them, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his own fresh warning on Wednesday, telling countries which are now attempting to intervene in various ways that Moscow will "quickly" respond in kind with devastating strikes.

• GERMANY SUPPORTS 'GRADUAL' EU BAN ON RUSSIAN OIL AS MOSCOW REJECTS GAS PAYMENT FROM SEIZED TRADING UNIT - Apr 28, 2022
  Update(1130ET): As the EU attempts to impose unity amid the still fast escalating gas for rubles standoff and potential full-blown energy crisis, Germany has said for the first time it is ready to back a 'gradual ban' on Russian oil.
  As detailed in a breaking Bloomberg report, "Berlin would support a phased approach to targeting oil rather than some of the other options that have been discussed, such as a price cap or payment mechanisms to withhold parts of Moscow’s revenue, according to people familiar with talks among EU ambassadors."
  "The ban would also need to come with a transition period, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the negotiations are private," the report adds, which is akin to the EU strategy when in banned coal earlier in April.

• RUSSIAN FOSSIL FUEL REVENUES DOUBLE DESPITE WESTERN SANCTIONS - Apr 28, 2022
  The longer Western sanctions isolate Russia and reduce energy supplies to European refiners. The higher energy prices will go. Even though Russian energy exports are declining, higher prices have enabled the country's state-owned oil and gas companies to double revenue, thus stabilizing the ruble and allowing financing for President Putin's military machine.
  According to The Guardian, citing a new report of shipping movements by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), Russia has reaped a whopping €62 billion from oil, gas, and coal exports since the invasion of Ukraine began.
  Russian exports to energy-stricken Europe totaled 44 billion euro in the last two months, compared with 140 billion euro for FY'21. The revenue surge comes as "Russia has continued to benefit from its stranglehold over Europe's energy supply, even while governments have frantically sought to prevent Vladimir Putin from using oil and gas as an economic weapon," CREA said.

While the Trump administration refused to accept such statements, they were adopted following the first meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden in Geneva.

  Nationalists are now demanding evacuation
  ...from SouthFront
  Update: 3:57 EST – From the New York Times: About 20 women and children have been evacuated from Mariupol's embattled Azovstal steel plant, according to a Ukrainian commander in the factory and Russian state media.
  The news came amid United Nations-backed efforts to broker a ceasefire to allow hundreds of trapped civilians and Ukrainian fighters escape the factory, the last bastion of resistance in the besieged city of Mariupol.
  On April 30, another attempt was made to evacuate civilians from the facilities of the Azovstal plant in the city of Mariupol. According to various estimations, about a hundred civilians are taken hostage in the basements.
  They mainly include families of the Ukrainian Azov nationalist regiment, workers of the Azovstal plant and civilians from the neighboring districts who were lured and blocked in the facilities. There are a lot of children and women.
  The Russian military regularly declared a ceasefire so that Ukrainian nationalists could surrender and allow civilians to leave. The Azov commanders have not used their chances yet.

  Now multiple weeks into a standoff where Azov fighters and Ukrainian civilians have been holed up in a large Mariupol steel plant while surrounded by Russian forces who have total control of the city, another round of successful civilian evacuations as been accomplished. The United Nations has dubbed it a 'safe passage operation'.
  "Evacuation of civilians from Azovstal began," Zelensky said on Twitter over the weekend. The group of at least 46 civilians which initially exited the massive Azovstal Iron and Steel Works mill are expected to arrive in the Ukrainian controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday. Follow-up reports put the total number of civilians leaving the plant at 100, after the latest pause in fighting was secured with the help of the United Nations and Red Cross.

• WHY SHOULDN'T RUSSIA THREATEN US CARRIERS? - May 02, 2022
  If the U.S. continues to help Ukraine inflicting damage on Russia (sinking of "Moskva", explosions in Russia), publicly threatening the U.S. carriers and sinking one of them must therefore be an option. With its hypersonic missiles, Russia can do that and the U.S. does not have the means to prevent that. The consequences would be the following:
  • The risk of nuclear escalation is not higher, on the contrary. Europeans will whine and cry about Article 5 implementation, but beyond rhetoric, they can do nothing. The president cannot go nuclear for the loss of one carrier, because he risks the annihilation of his country. Escalating conventionally would put their entire fleet at risk.
  • The US fleet is the symbol of their global dominance, such an act would demonstrate once and for all that this dominance has ended, something that has not sunk in into the U.S. public yet. A political rethinking may start once everyone realizes the vulnerability of their continent.
  • The threatening of U.S. ships would sharpen the already existing conflict between the Pentagon and the warmongers in the State Department. Ideally, U.S. Navy commanders could revolt against getting sacrificed for the war hysteria in their homeland.
  European leaders are stupid, coward and incompetent, but at the end, they are vassals. The villains are in Washington. There will be no peace until the empire gets at least a bloody nose. Waiting for the economic collapse, the Chinese strategy, may come too late.

  After repeatedly demanding the Azov militants lay down their arms and come out, it's believed to be only a matter of time before a final battle, given those trapped inside and underground are said to be running low on food and water, and also crucial ammo.

  Hundreds of civilians are also believed still trapped there, and running low on food, water and supplies. As we detailed Tuesday, for the first time in the weeks-long standoff for the sprawling complex, Russian forces attacked the plant as Azov fighters briefly emerged and reportedly set up firing positions.

Some few hundred civilians have also been safely led out over the past number of days under UN and Red Cross brokered ceasefires.

  The efforts have been overseen, even as sporadic fighting has raged - also with an estimated hundreds of Ukrainian Azov fighters still holed up at the large sprawling complex - by United Nations and Red Cross teams. "All women, children and elderly people have been evacuated from Azovstal. This part of the Mariupol humanitarian operation has been completed," Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced Saturday.

• PUTIN CELEBRATES THE VICTORY. "WAR IN UKRAINE AGAINST NAZIS AND NATO PLANS". NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE FOR NWO - May 09, 2022
  Russian President Vladimir Putin is the only statesman worthy of the name in the third millennium and has the right to celebrate Victory Day today in an event that connects the 77th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany to the conquest of Mariupol, a Ukrainian stronghold on the Sea Black of the neo-Nazis of the Azov Battalion, enlisted by the Kiev regime, trained by the American counterintelligence of the CIA (the special Ground Branch of the Central Intelligence Agency). and supported in the field by former officers of the Atlantic Alliance.
  From the American West to the Chinese East, the rulers are in fact bastard sons of a headless political system based on the algorithms of approval ratings and on the lobbying of multinationals (now increasingly also in Communist Beijing) in order to be able to impose gradually and sweetly almost maternal social dictatorship, which in the last two years has been easily built on the psychological totalitarianism of a pandemic carefully planned by China and the USA, originally supported in designing the laboratory SARS-Cov-2.

  At a moment that top US intelligence officials are holding intense discussions over what "victory" might look like for Russian President Vladimir Putin - or whether or not he's contemplating an exit from the conflict in Ukraine and under what conditions - senior Pentagon officials assess there's been little significant progress by Russian forces in the Donbas.
  During a Monday briefing one senior official told reporters this is due partly to low morale and "refusing to obey orders" - which is even impacting the officer corps. The officials described, "We still see anecdotal reports of poor morale of troops, indeed officers, refusing to obey orders and move and not really sound command and control from a leadership perspective."

  The potential for blackouts is huge as many power companies begin to switch to “green energy” sources instead of electricity. "I am concerned about it," MISO Chief Executive John Bear told the Wall Street Journal in a report Sunday. "As we move forward, we need to know that when you put a solar panel or a wind turbine up, it's not the same as a thermal resource."

  Shortly thereafter the first shots in the present war were fired on the Russian-sympathetic Donbass region by the newly installed Ukrainian government. The shelling of the Donbass which claimed 14,000 lives has continued for 8 years, despite attempts at a cease-fire under the Minsk accords which Russia, France and Germany agreed upon but Ukraine backed by the US refused to implement. On February 24, 2022, Russia finally responded to the slaughter in Donbass and the threat of NATO on its doorstep.

"Altogether the discussion was very good," Niinisto in a Sunday media interview. "I say calm and cool, and he did not repeat those threats he had earlier, and his people had been telling that is that if Finland joins – that means some kind of contra steps, military contra steps, whatever that meant – but he didn't repeat it now."
  Continuing his 'calm' response, Putin explained his thinking on Sweden and Finland's moves toward NATO before a summit of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) heads in Moscow on Monday. Putin told the group of former Soviet allied nations that the Scandinavian countries' membership bid "doesn't pose a threat" but it may still "trigger a response".

  According to new projections from the European Commission, the euro area’s pandemic recovery would grind to a halt, while prices would surge even more quickly if there are serious disruptions to natural-gas supplies from Russia.
  Under the severe (i.e., realistic) scenario, the currency bloc’s economy would expand about 0.2% this year, with inflation topping 9%, as governments struggled to replace the imports, the European Union’s executive arm said.

• $40 BILLION MORE THE UKRAINE WAR: A WAKEUP CALL FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN LESSER-EVILISM - May 16, 2022
  The US House of Representatives just approved another massive military "aid" package for the Ukraine War. The Biden administration had initially requested $33 billion in new money for the war, but leaders of both parties in Congress, eager to support the war, quickly said this was not enough, and raised the total for this package to $40 billion, a truly staggering total. The administration had already spent $14 billion before this latest weapons package. The latest spending spree (at a time when many Americans are struggling with crushing debt loads, lack of baby formula and other key supplies, and skyrocketing inflation) brings the total spent in Ukraine in 3 months to $54 billion on the books (not counting all the dark money for the spy agencies). The official annual budget for the War in Afghanistan averaged $46 billion…The sum the US has already spent on this war in a few months is quickly approaching the annual military budget of the entire Russian military.
• NATO STARTS DRILLS NEAR RUSSIAN BORDER - May 16, 2022 Thousands of troops from 14 nations, including the US, Sweden, Finland and Ukraine, are taking part in huge exercises in Estonia
  Large-scale NATO military drills started in Estonia on Monday. The exercise dubbed ‘Hedgehog 2022’ is one of the largest in the Baltic nation’s history, according to the military bloc. The drills will involve some 15,000 troops from 14 nations, including both military bloc members and their partners.

• SCOTT RITTER'S SWITCHEROO: "WHY I RADICALLY CHANGED MY OVERALL ASSESSMENT" - May 16, 2022 It’s fair to say, however, that Ritter has probably been the most outspoken proponent of the "Russia is winning" theory, a hypothesis that runs counter to everything we read in the legacy media or see on the cable news channels. Unfortunately, Ritter's views on the matter have changed dramatically, and that’s due almost entirely to developments on the ground. As Ritter candidly admits, "The military aid the west is providing to Ukraine is changing the dynamic and if Russia doesn't find a way to address this meaningfully… the conflict will never end."
  IMHO, Scott Ritter is gradually adjusting to the idea that the conflict in Ukraine is not a just regional skirmish between two quarrelsome neighbors, nor is it a proxy-war between NATO and Russia. No. Ukraine is the first phase of a broader plan for crushing Russia, collapsing its economy, removing its leaders, seizing its natural resources, splintering its territory, and projecting US power across Central Asia to the Pacific Rim. Ukraine is about hegemony, empire, and pure, unalloyed power. Most important, Ukraine is the first battle in a Third World War, a war that was concocted and launched by Washington to ensure another unchallenged century of American primacy.

• CHARLES NENNER WARNS "ONE THIRD OF GLOBAL POPULATION WON'T SURVIVE NEXT WAR CYCLE"
  - May 18, 2022
  Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner says his analysis shows the world will start a huge war cycle by 2023.
  This type of war is similar to WWII but much bigger. Nenner explains, 'The cycle work I do on wars starts at the Mandarin Empire 3,000 years before Jesus came into this world..."

  "... The long cycle only picks up the big wars. Wars in Korea and Iraq do not show up. So, I say the big War Cycle is up, and this is going to be a big war because the small ones don't even show up. So, I am very worried. . . . There was a Jewish prophet that once said, 'The last war is going to take 8 minutes.' Nobody took this serious because how can a war last 8 minutes? Now we have an idea why a war can only take 8 minutes. Things could calm down in the short term this summer. Then, next year, it can start full force again, and the whole thing is very dangerous."

  In a Monday virtual address before the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky urged Western countries to impose "maximum economic sanctions" against Russia.
  "The world is united because of threats, the war, Russian aggression. I don’t want you to lose this unity," Zelensky stated in the keynote address which was met with enthusiastic applause in approval. He called for measures which he said have still yet to be imposed, including a ban on Western companies operating in Russia. His words came simultaneous to a UN official at the WEF stressing that Russia's continued blockade on Ukraine ports amounts to a "declaration of war" by Putin on Ukraine and broader humanity:
  

  Russia's blockade of Ukraine's ports is a "declaration of war" that threatens to trigger mass migration and a global food crisis, a United Nations official said, adding to the dire warnings on the opening day of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Saturday marked the 95th day of the conflict.
  He described conditions there as "indescribably difficult" in what marks a notably pessimistic shift and negative tone for the Ukrainian leader, strongly suggesting the fall of Donbas - or at least whole regions such as Luhansk - could be imminent. He identified several intense ongoing battles in places with a large Russian force presence, including Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bakhmut and Popasna. Sievierodonets in particular is scene of fierce up-close street battles.
  "But our defense holds on," Zelensky sought to assure the public. "It’s indescribably difficult there. And I am grateful to all those who withstand this onslaught of the occupiers."

The weakest link is unsurprisingly Italy. A bigger crisis in terms of famine will shortly become apparent in North Africa. There is a famous song that suggests "things can only better". What if they don't?
  Europe failed to agree new sanctions on Russia over the weekend. Talks will continue this week, but Hungary is stalling about quitting Russian oil. Sanctions are one of the aspects of its' non-statehood the EU needs unanimity upon.
• HISTORICALLY HAWKISH HERITAGE HITS THE BRAKES ON UKRAINE AID - May 30, 2022
  In a striking indication of the American right's increasingly skeptical view of costly foreign interventionism, the Heritage Foundation took an aggressive stance against the $40 billion aid package approved by Congress earlier this month.
  In a May 10 statement ahead of the House vote, Heritage executive director Jessica Anderson said,
  

  "This proposed Ukraine aid package takes money away from the priorities of the American people and recklessly sends our taxpayer dollars to a foreign nation without any accountability. America is struggling with record-setting inflation, debt, a porous border, crime and energy depletion yet progressives in Washington are prioritizing a $40 billion aid package to Ukraine."

  On May 11 The New York Times ran an article documenting that all was not going well for the U.S. in Ukraine, and a companion opinion piece hinting that a shift in direction might be in order.
  Then on May 19, the editorial board, the full Magisterium of the Times, moved from hints to a clarion call for a change in direction, declaring that "total victory" over Russia is not possible and that Ukraine will have to negotiate a peace in a way that reflects a "realistic assessment" and the "limits" of U.S. commitment. The Times serves as one the main shapers of public opinion for the elite and so its pronouncements are not to be taken lightly.

  In some of the Kremlin's strongest words yet denouncing Western arms shipments, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned Ukraine that newly ramped up arms transfers including US missile systems being sent to Kiev risks drawing a third country into the war.
  In the Wednesday statements, he accused Ukraine of seeking to involve outside countries, and slammed the missile transfer as marking a 'direct provocation'. His words come on the heels of Biden on Tuesday night announcing longer range missile systems for Ukraine, which however likely can't reach Russian territory, given they are short to "medium range" systems. Moscow previously called the White House's expressed desire to avoid direct confrontation with Russia a "rational" policy.

Crucially, he argued the US is not seeking regime change targeting Putin, nor is Washington seeking to escalate toward war with Russia.
  "We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia. As much as I disagree with Mr. Putin, and find his actions an outrage, the United States will not try to bring about his ouster in Moscow," Biden wrote. "So long as the United States or our allies are not attacked, we will not be directly engaged in this conflict, either by sending American troops to fight in Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces," he added.

  The United States is flooding Ukraine with so many weapons that Russia has announced that it must take a more global approach to its "special operation" in Ukraine. Instead of just dealing with the globalist problem in that country, Russia quickly realizes that all of NATO is its enemy. The axis of evil is much greater than just Ukraine's puppet government is a simple way of putting it. "I have some unpleasant news," said Olga Skabeeva on the Russian state TV program 60 Minutes. "Even though we are methodically destroying the weapons that are being delivered [to Ukraine], the quantities in which the United States are sending them force us to come up with some global conclusions." "Perhaps it's time to acknowledge that maybe Russia's special operation in Ukraine has come to an end, in a sense that a real war had started: WWIII," she added. "We're forced to conduct the demilitarization not only of Ukraine but of the entire NATO alliance." These are big words, but ones that have been written on the wall for quite some time now. Many could see that this was moving towards World War III once NATO decided to gang up on Russia for dealing with the Ukraine problem.

  While Macron has sought to maintain a dialogue with Vladimir Putin since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February, his stance has been repeatedly criticized by some staunch anti-Russia eastern European and Baltic states as they see it as undermining efforts to pressure Putin to the negotiating table.

  Key points
  • As for today, 97% of the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic has been liberated.
  • Residential areas of Severodonetsk have been fully liberated. The takeover of its industrial zone and neighbouring settlements continues. The offensive in the Popasnaya direction is developing.
  • 51 units of foreign military equipment have been destroyed during the last 10 days of the special military operation.
  • In five days, 126 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered, their total number is 6,489 people.
  • In Mariupol, water and electricity supply to residential areas is being restored in stages, streets are being cleared and the first social facilities have started to function.

  French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that the West must not humiliate Russia if it wants to avoid an unnecessarily prolonged conflict that could spread beyond Ukraine. Since making the remarks days ago, he's stirred anger among different allies - both in Europe and the US and UK.
  And he's again come under fresh criticism and condemnation for the statement. He said last Friday, "We must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means." As part of the comments he offered France's role as a "mediating power" in the conflict. This after having reportedly held calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin on pretty much a weekly basis since the invasion began in late February.
• UKRAINE IS LOSING BIG TIME, SO BIDEN UPS THE ANTE, RISKING WORLD WAR III - Jun 08, 2022
  During the last week of May, the White House leaked an alarming story: Biden was preparing to send medium-range advanced rocket systems to Ukraine. Those rockets could be used by Ukrainian forces to hit targets in Russia. If that happened, Russia would undoubtedly retaliate and escalate—possibly by striking a NATO country bordering Ukraine. That could trigger Article 5, which would theoretically bring all of NATO, including the US, into the war. Within days or even hours, nuclear bombs could be raining down on American cities.
  Then on May 30 Biden walked back the leak, saying that the US was "not going to send to Ukraine any rocket systems that can strike into Russia." The world breathed a sigh of relief.
  But the relief was short-lived. The very next day, Biden flip-flopped once again, announcing that, contrary to his previous announcement, the US would indeed be sending M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems to Ukraine. With a range of up to 190 miles (with the longest-range munitions) the M142 HIMARS could, if fired from Ukraine, hit much of western Russia. Moscow, the Russian capital, is less than 280 miles from the border…
• UK OUTRAGED AFTER 2 BRITISH 'MERCENARIES' HANDED DEATH SENTENCES BY PRO- RUSSIAN DONETSK COURT - Jun 09, 2022
  Initially reports suggested that a pair of captured British foreign fighters in Russian military custody faced 20 years in jail, but the final ruling in what Western observers have condemned as a "show trial" has ended up shockingly worse. On Thursday 28-year old Aiden Aslin and 48-year old Shaun Pinner have been sentenced to death by a court in the pro-Russian breakaway republic of Donetsk.
  The British nationals had been serving in the Ukrainian military, but were captured in April while fighting in now Russian-conquered Mariupol. They appeared in a Donetsk court this week on charges of "terrorism" and "being a mercenary".On Wednesday Russian state RIA Novosti aired footage of the men pleading "guilty" to the crimes, which critics say was coerced.

  On Friday, the Central Bank of Russia cut its repo rate by 150bp to 9.50%, more than consensus expectations (10%). Today's cut now fully reverts the emergency rate hike of 1050bp on 28 February in response to financial market turmoil and capital flight following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In other words, Russian monetary policy is now back to pre-Ukraine war levels.

Among those who arrived in Russia, 540,000 people have Russian citizenship, more than 954,000 people are citizens of the republics of Donbass, the rest are citizens of Ukraine and other states.

  "If the nuclear-armed states take no immediate and concrete action on disarmament, then the global inventory of nuclear warheads could soon begin to increase for the first time since the Cold War," Matt Korda, an associate researcher with the Weapons of Mass Destruction Program at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, said in a statement released alongside SIPRI's annual report.

  You Si Kun, President of Taiwan’s Legislative Assembly, recently said in a media interview that Taiwan's military wouldn't shy away from using its Yun Feng supersonic cruise missiles if under direct invasion threat. "Yung Fend missiles can already hit Beijing, and Taiwan has the ability to attack Beijing," You said, as cited in Liberty Times Net, and further described in Fox News. Supersonic missiles are capable of traveling faster than Mach 1
  The top official invoked the example of Russia's rapid, 'surprise' invasion of Ukraine - suggesting that military preparedness as well as basic geography would stall a Chinese PLA advance deep into the island.

• BIDEN SIGNALS TO OWN OFFICIALS & ZELENSKY: DIAL BACK THE "WINNING" RHETORIC AS RUSSIAN GAINS NOW EVIDENT - Jun 17, 2022
  A bombshell investigative report in NBC has revealed President Biden sought to clamp down on the ratcheted Ukraine war rhetoric of his own top officials on fears their words would make escalation with Russia inevitable, and would set false expectations among allies.
  In particular questions and concerns were raised within the administration following the late April trip by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Kiev, where they met with President Zelensky. Their statements at the time asserted official US positions of wanting to see Ukraine forces "winning" against the Russians. It was especially Austin's words during a press conference which seemed to mark a strategic shift in US planning, portending Washington escalation in support of Ukrainian forces. "We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine," the Pentagon chief said at the time.
  But in a phone call Biden questioned the statements, calling his own officials to account, after he was reportedly angered upon learning about rhetoric centered on 'winning' against the Russians.

  Addressing the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the unipolar world has come to an end despite all of its beneficiaries' attempts to preserve it at any cost. The president added that following the end of the Cold War, the US declared its national interests to be "sacred" and not to be undermined.
  He went on to stress that the so-called "golden billion" countries still believe that they are superior and consider the rest of the world to be their colonies. He added that the West's ruling elites live in a dream world and refuse to see global changes taking place.

• DARK GODDESS RETURNS BY MIKE KAY - June 20, 2022
  The Depth of the Mystery of Life
  The fabric of life in the west unravels. The truth concerning agendas of destruction works its way into slowly dawning awareness, leaving in its wake a corroded paralysis. Normal avenues for work and routine disappear. Smoke from the fire that destroys the last recognizable icons of western society obscures the view. The west now mocks itself.
  Extinction protocols are in place across what once was a civilization able, however briefly, to break its own fixation on self defeat. Those who still find some point to western society search for solutions, finding nothing to build upon.
  Perversion, corruption, and dissolution are the three states championed by the corporate complex, its government servant and its banking controllers.
  It is far too late for such a society, now millennia in the making, to make any turn towards redemption, and thus self-preservation. For those who are born in the western world, the onus is now on the individual to become aware of the forces at work within and without. This time too will pass, and after the devastation, and the smoking ruin, the mirror of the void will call to those whose belief in the power of creation is strong. Yet for now, the time offers unprecedented opportunity to expand awareness. This is the true message of the Dark Goddess.
• RUSSIA DEMANDS LITHUANIA LIFT "OPENLY HOSTILE" BLOCKADE; PANIC BUYING ENSUES - Jun 20, 2022
  The Russian Foreign Ministry has responded to Lithuania's partial blockade of Kaliningrad, writing in a statement that they consider the "provocative measures" to be "openly hostile" and warning that the Kremlin may take action to "protect its national interests."
  Kaliningrad is sandwiched between the EU and NATO members Poland and Lithuania. Supplies from Russia are delivered via rail and gas pipelines through Lithuania - which announced last week that it was banning the rail transit of goods subject to EU sanctions, which include coal, advanced technology, metals and construction materials.
  "If in the near future cargo transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the territory of the Russian Federation through Lithuania is not restored in full, then Russia reserves the right to take actions to protect its national interests," the statement reads.
• CHINA, US ESCALATE OVER LEGAL STATUS OF TAIWAN STRAIT AFTER BEIJING REJECTS IT AS "INTERNATIONAL WATERS" - Jun 20, 2022
  The White House earlier this month reaffirmed its stance that the Taiwan Strait constitutes "international waters" following the latest US warship sail-through, which had put China's PLA Eastern Theatre Command on high alert. As Reuters reported last Tuesday, "The United States on Tuesday backed Taiwan's assertion that the strait separating the island from China is an international waterway, a further rebuff to Beijing's claim to exercise sovereignty over the strategic passage."
  This prompted Beijing to issue its own statement and definition, hitting back that the strait is not "international waters" - thus placing limits on the movements of foreign military vessels in the waters - and further reasserting that it constitutes the mainland's exclusive economic zone.

  Last Friday the European Commission recommended Ukraine for EU candidate status, which will be the focus of discussion among the 27-nation bloc's leaders at their scheduled summit in Brussels on Thursday and Friday. "Obviously, this week we should expect from Russia an intensification of its hostile activities," Zelenskiy said Monday in a video address. "We are preparing. We are ready."
• IT'S OFFICIAL: NOMURA IS FIRST BANK TO CALL FOR 2022 RECESSION - Jun 20, 2022
  A little over two months ago - in early April - Deutsche Bank shocked Wall Street when it became the first bank to break with the mold of "cautious optimists" when it made a US recession its base case (agreeing with our dire assessment from late 2021 that a recession was inevitable, if disagreeing with our timeline which put the recession smack in the middle of the second half of 2022, followed by more QE). Well, since then things have only gone from bad to worse for the US economy, with the Citi US Eco surprise index plunging to pre-covid levels and multi- year lows...
  Sure enough, we were right once again because late on Sunday, Nomura became only the second bank to join DB in calling for a recession as its base case, and also became the first bank expecting this outcome to hit some time in the second half (unlike DB's generously delayed forecast of a "late 2023" recession).

  At a moment US media and much of the West is consumed with the historic Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Russian President Vladimir Putin just issued what's possibly the most alarming and escalatory statement thus far in the four-month long Ukraine war.
  On Saturday Putin for the first time informed his close ally Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that he has approved supplying Belarus with nuclear capable long-range missiles. Minsk has long offered to host Russian nukes as a 'deterrent' against the West - a prospect which Lukashenko had very provocatively offered even in the months leading up to the Feb.24 invasion of Ukraine. This move will likely be viewed from Washington as a first step in moving toward a heightened nuclear posture in Eastern Europe.

• THE COLLAPSE OF CIVILIZATION IN OUR GENERATION- ALL WARNINGS HAVE COME TRUE! - June 26, 2022
  Even some of our brightest scientific minds are projecting that there is absolutely no positive future for our civilization if we stay on our current course. Perhaps one of the reasons why our society has become so obsessed with short-term results is because most of us can’t bear to think about the long-term consequences of our actions. I have a website that focuses on “economic collapse”, but it isn’t just the economy that is headed for catastrophe. Virtually every aspect of our society is coming apart at the seams all around us, and the era that we are moving into will be more nightmarish than most people would dare to imagine. But our political leaders continue to insist that everything is going to work out just fine somehow, and most people choose to believe them.

  "Compare how great America was just two years ago with the way it is today. Today it’s not doing too good. There was no inflation, the war with Russia going into Ukraine would never have happened, ever. And it didn't happen, did it. We had $1.87 per gallon gasoline. We had energy independence and very soon we were going to be dominant with energy," Trump said, speaking in Mendon, Illinois Saturday in a rally endorsing his picks for Congress and the governor's race.

  "I remember getting a call from the, er, State Police commander telling me they were not sure they could contain the damage. And I said, ‘well, you know, killing seven billion people would be such a terrible loss of life, that maybe the best thing to do is, is pull them. And so they made that decision to pull, and we watched the Guidestones collapse."
  Silverstein reportedly bought the condemned-for-asbestos Georgia Guidestones two months ago on a non-low-bid contract, paying around $15 million with another $100 million from backers. After raising the terror insurance on the monument to 3.5 billion dollars per stone, Silverstein appears to have hit the jackpot when parties unknown proceeded to bomb and then demolish the monument.
  Silverstein is currently suing his insurers, who wanted to limit the cash payout to a total of $14 billion ($3.5 billion for each of the four stones). But Silverstein is demanding $28 billion. The overinsured stonelord of two months is arguing—in a lawsuit filed in the court of Judge Alvin Hellerstein—that he should be paid double indemnity due to the two separate and unrelated terror attacks on the monument—the first with explosives, the second with bulldozers.

  Germany, which is arguably the country that has suffered most from energy security failures, may soon have to bail out its largest utilities.
