Project EU has now begun to consume itself over its leadership’s fanatical devotion to Project Ukraine. Part of their support for Ukraine involves a relentless and escalating economic warfare against Russia.

On Friday, 17 October a Polish court blocked the extradition to Germany of a suspected Nord Stream bomber and ordered his release. Judge Dariusz Lubowski explained the reasoning behind his decision:

Will Washington Destroy the World?

Paul Craig Roberts

How is it possible not to be alarmed when the fate of humanity is in the hands of such utterly stupid people?

 

Americans who think themselves  informed because they watch CNN, read the NY Times, and listen to NPR, regard my warnings about nuclear war as disinformation, even hysteria.  They say that US government officials, such as Secretary of State Blinken and National Security advisor Jake Sullivan, are not stupid or insane.

Dear readers, you tell me how you can give permission for the US and NATO to fire missiles into Russia, especially when the Russian President has clearly stated it means the US and NATO are at war with Russia, and not be stupid and insane.  That Blinken and Sullivan gave this permission in the face of Russia revising her war doctrine and permitting nuclear weapons to be used at a lower threshold indicates that the United States has a Secretary of State and National Security Advisor who are disconnected from reality. 

All Americans, and perhaps the human population as a whole, might die as a result of these two utterly stupid men.  Both of the fools represent the military/security complex and Israel.  Neither is capable of thinking beyond the interest of the power and profit of the US military/security complex and Israel’s interest.  The military/security complex and Israel are their only constituencies.  The rest of the world is sacrificed to these two interests.

The utter stupidity of Blinken and Sullivan is matched by the American whore media, a brothel that sells itself for money. Yesterday one of the principle whores, the Washington Post, published what is without doubt  the most ignorant and stupid editorial in recorded history.  The utter fools who wrote it said that it is not worth stopping the march to Armageddon if Trump makes a bad deal: “If Trump leaves Ukraine dismembered, America will look weak and dictators will be emboldened.”

Examine this loaded language from the editors of the Washington Post and wonder how America can possibly survive. For the dumbshit Washington Post editors, it is more important to keep the war going on the road to Armageddon than to “look weak.”

What dictators will be emboldened?  Putin, elected overwhelmingly for a quarter of century by margins that not even Trump can achieve?  For the dumbshit Washington Post editors, “dictators” are those who will not subject their sovereignty to Washington’s hegemony. Who are these “dictators? They are the leaders of Russia, China, and Iran, the favorite manufactured enemies of the Israel Lobby and the American military/security complex.

Dear readers, yesterday I informed you that the new intermediate range Russian missile –created only because President Trump in his first term voided the INF Treaty that President Reagan and President Gorbachev signed, a treaty  that greatly reduced the chances of nuclear war– can be used to destroy in a very few minutes all US and NATO military assets in Europe and the Middle East without the use of nuclear warheads.

Why did President Trump make this incomprehensible mistake that shows a dangerous lack of judgment?  Because he was advised either by totally evil people or totally stupid people.  How do we know it will be any different this time?  This is what the Russian government wonders.

  

It is not enough that the Washington Post, whose stupidity is a danger to life on earth, regards understanding the Russian point of view as weakness, but also the Wall Street Journal  joins in the push toward Armageddon.  

Holman Jenkins, once a semi-intelligent person, has fed the war impulse with his acceptance on November 23 of the Biden regime’s propaganda that North Korean troops are fighting Ukrainians side-by-side with Russians.

There is no evidence that I can find that North Koreans are participating in the conflict.  They are in Russia for demonstrative reasons to show that the Russian/North Korean defense pact is real.  The purpose of the pact is to show the dumbshits in Washington that American pressure on China with regard to Taiwan can be countered with pressure on South Korea.  The low grade morons who comprise the US government are far too stupid to understand that the threat produced by their provocation of China is South Korea being overrun.

Look at America’s leaders and tremble.  Senator Lindsey Graham, a man without a brain, is ready to go to war with Russia, China, and Iran.  What does the fool think the consequences will be?  American victory? Yes. That is how stupid he is.

The United States is incapable of going to war. All of the services are demoralized by the Biden regimes DEI policies that promoted not on ability and merit,  but on the basis of dark skin, female gender, and sexual perversion.  

American weapon systems are so inferior to Russian ones that America vs. Russia is like stoneage people fighting a modern army. The majority of America’s extraordinary expensive F-35s are so defective that they are not operational. All America has is nuclear armed ICBMs. The question is whether Russia’s hypersonic missiles wipe them out before they can lift off.

What America and the world need is peace.  Washington must repudiate the Zionist neoconservatives, give up its goal of world hegemony, accept the sovereignty of other countries, and stop sanctioning them for not submitting to Washington’s hegemony. If Washington doesn’t stop doing this, America will cease to exist.  It is that simple.

Take a minute and think.  Where are there any intelligent, moral people anywhere in the American Establishment?  There are none.  That is why a leader–Donald Trump–had to be brought in from the outside. 

But what can he do?  His movement is immature. Most of his supporters think the battle is over with his election. The American Establishment remains in place.  It is institutionalized everywhere, state, local, and federal government, in the media, the corporations, Wall Street, the banking system, the universities and law schools, the public school systems, the judiciary, and in the generations of Americans taught in universities that America as presently constituted is an evil, exploitative, racist, sexist country, and that Trump is in the way of moral progress.

Where are the resources with which Trump can renew America?  The journalism schools turn out Woke journalists. The education departments turn out Woke teachers. The law schools turn out Woke lawyers. We have an educational system that produces anti-Americans who are opposed to MAGA America.

Trump has already lost his nominee for attorney general.  He might lose Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard as well.  His picks for Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, UN Ambassador, ambassador to Israel, and Middle East envoy are all Zionist allied with Israel, everyone of which is willing to go to war with Iran, whose government they define as evil.

Can Trump and his warmonger appointees accept Russia’s reincorporation of former territories of Russia back into Russia and zero possibility of any US/NATO missile sites on Russia’s borders, including the ones in Poland and Romania? If not, Trump has no prospect of ending the West’s participation in a conflict that the West initiated.

Will Putin accept more missiles fired ino Russia while he awaits Trump’s presidency to see if Washington comes to its senses?  That is  Putin’s inclination given his humanitarian character,  but the idiot West is working to shut down this restraint.  The West is doubling down on its missile attacks on Russia. France has joined Washington and the UK in green-lighting the use of its long-range missiles against Russia. The French foreign minister said no constraints should be placed on the use of the missiles. The foolish French minister added that France is open to extending an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO. What is it, if not stupidity, to ignore Russia’s warning that enough is enough and to poison the situation in order to prevent the possibility that Trump can work to defuse the dangerous situation?

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova  said that the French minister’s comments are “not support for Ukraine, but rather a death knell for Ukraine.” Indeed, the death knell is being sounded for the world if nuclear war breaks out.

Such a war is possible, because Western leaders are completely lost in their own propaganda. The French foreign minister thinks that Europe’s security is at stake in Ukraine. “Each time the Russian army progresses by one square kilometer, the threat gets one square kilometer closer to Europe.”  How can the French foreign minister not know that Russia has no plans for an army sufficiently large to occupy Europe?  How can he not know that Russia intended its intervention in Ukraine to be confined to the Russian area of Donbas and that it is the West that is widening the war?  How can the French minister not know that Russia is focused on Russia, the BRICS, the silk road and wants no distractions in Europe.  A person has to be completely stupid to see in the Donbas intervention the unfolding of a plan to conquer Europe.

The situation that confronts us is that Western leaders have been made stupidly ignorant by their own propaganda and are incapable of realizing the real threat they have created–nuclear war.  The New York Times reports that some US and European officials have discussed providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons.  Could anything more stupidly irresponsible be done?  How is it possible that people this dangerously stupid can be Western leaders?

How is it possible not to be alarmed when the fate of humanity is in the hands of such utterly stupid people?

 

Russia Showed Its Doom’s Day Weapon In Action

On November 21, the modern warfare entered its new stage. The war between Russia and the West has changed forever. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched their advanced medium-range ballistic missile.

The missile struck the State Factory “Production Union Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant named after O.M. Makarov”, officially abbreviated as Pivdenmash or Yuzhmash in the city of Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk). According to local reports, the large industrial facility suffered strategic destruction. All communications and traffic were blocked in the area, a lot of ambulances arrived on the spot. Officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) came to the area. The scale of destruction is likely to be shown by the satellite imagery soon.

The Ukrainian military claimed that Kinzhal missiles were also used in the attack. Another Patriot system was reportedly destroyed on the outskirts of the city before the main blow.

Moscow showed its Doom’s Day weapon in action. The RS-26 Rubezh ballistic missile was reportedly launched from the Kapustin Yar test site in Astrakhan Oblast. The flight time to the target located about 800 kilometers away is estimated to be less than 5 minutes. The speed of the combat units at the final stage of the flight was about 5-7 kilometers per second.

The RS-26 Rubezh is a ballistic missile of medium range, which is normally designed to carry nuclear warhead. It was developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering as part of the Avangard program. It was created on the basis of the RS-24 Yars. Information about this mobile missile system, like its rocket, is completely classified.

The RS-26 reportedly has a starting weight of about 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units at a distance of 2,000 to 6,000 kilometers. Its warhead is three times larger than the Iskander’s warhead. Accordingly, it is much more powerful.

It has an advanced protection against the missile defense system and reportedly four individual thermonuclear warheads with a capacity of 150-300 kilotons each. No foreign air defense system is reportedly able to intercept it.

The Rubezh missile is aimed at carrying out nuclear strikes but in apparently in today’s attack the combat units were equipped with metal blanks. The published footage drom Dnipro shows the kinetic effect of the use of such ammunition. It is possible that the rocket was equipped with a Avangard-R hypersonic glider.

 

The footage also shows that the launched rocket had 6 combat units with 6 warheads in each. It is possible that the Russian military used its secret RS-27 or Yars missiles of the same type.

Moscow does not officially comment on the strikes but Russian diplomacy played well the media game that Kiev and its Western patrons imposed. LINK After the strikes, the spokeswomen of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mariya Zakharova held a media briefing, during which she had a ‘surprise’ call. Everyone clearly heard that the strikes reported by the media should not be commented. Thus, this was unofficial confirmation of the attack.

Apparently, Moscow warned the NATO countries about the impending strike in advance. That is why there was hysteria in Kiev the day before. Russian revenge was not long to wait but Kyiv and its patrons were surprised by its scale, target and timing.

After today’s strikes, the world will not be the same. Showing its advanced missile systems in action, Russia has demonstrated that it possesses unique missile technologies and is ready to use them effectively. In the event of the transformation of the conflict in Ukraine into a full-scale war with NATO, such complexes can already be used with standard nuclear ammunition.

Moscow responded to the strikes with NATO missiles on Russian territory in a sophisticated manner, giving a clear sign to Western warmongers.  There is no point no point on the European map protected from attacks by such Russian missiles. Today, NATO countries have no ability to intercept them, at least over the territory of Europe.

The exact number of missiles of this type in service with the Russian military is secret. According to open sources, the Russian Federation possesses at least 200 RS-26 Rubezh and PC-24 Yars missiles, which is more than enough to deal series of devastating blows on its enemies.

Russia responded to escalation. Now the ball is in Western court. The further steps are yet to come but it is clear that the provocations, including strikes with Western cruise missiles on Russian critical military, transport and energy infrastructure will be paid at too high price.

Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson: Mr. President, thank you.

On February 24, 2022, you addressed your country in your nationwide address when the conflict in Ukraine started and you said that you were acting because you had come to the conclusion that the United States through NATO might initiate a quote, “surprise attack on our country”. And to American ears that sounds paranoid. Tell us why you believe the United States might strike Russia out of the blue. How did you conclude that?

Ukraine can use Western weapons against ‘territories seized by Russia’ – US

Ukraine can use Western weapons against ‘territories seized by Russia’ – US

US Secretary of State Blinken says Washington won’t recognize “annexed” regions as Russian

Washington has no objections to Kiev using Western-supplied weapons to target territories that may decide to join Russia, as the US considers the vote to do so illegitimate, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday. 

The US and its allies have supplied Ukraine with a variety of weapons, including tube and rocket artillery. At a joint press conference with his Indian counterpart Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Washington, Blinken was asked if the US had any objections to Ukraine using those weapons to attack targets in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, which just wrapped up a vote on joining Russia.

“We will never recognize the annexation of Ukrainian territory by Russia,” Blinken told reporters. “Ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself throughout its territory, including to take back the territory that has been illegally seized, one way or another, by Russia. And the equipment, the weapons that we and many other countries are providing, have been used very effectively to do just that.”

Russia’s “annexation” of the Donbass republics and the two regions will make zero difference to either Ukraine or the US, Blinken insisted. “The Ukrainians will continue to do what they need to do to get back the land that has been taken from them. We will continue to support them in that effort.”

In June, when the US first sent long-range HIMARS rocket artillery to Ukraine, Blinken said he had received “assurances” from Kiev that they will not be used on Russian territory, and that he believed them due to a “strong trust bond.”

Kiev’s forces have since used the US-supplied weapons to target civilians in Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye, which are under Russian control. Ukraine has also bombed Crimea and border towns in the Russian regions of Kursk and Belgorod. Crimea rejoined Russia in March 2014, after the US-backed coup in Kiev, while Donetsk and Lugansk declared independence. 

Blinken also accused Russia of a “diabolical scheme” to deport or “disappear” the local Ukrainian population and “bus in” Russians who would then vote in a manipulated referendum to get annexed by Moscow. 

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.”

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Paul Craig Roberts -- A Fateful Moment of History Is Upon Us

 

A Fateful Moment of History Is Upon Us

A Fateful Moment of History Is Upon Us

Paul Craig Roberts

Dear Readers, 

I have explained to you that there has been no Russian defeat in Ukraine and will not be a Russian defeat.  I informed you that Putin and the Kremlin are committed to  one important thing that differentiates Russia from the US and that is that Russia follows international law and the US does not.  This is why there has been no “Russian invasion of Ukraine” as proclaimed by Western propagandists.  Kiev, the functioning of the Ukraine government, and the cities and infrastructure of western Ukraine have not been attacked.  The Kremlin has limited its military operations to the areas in Ukraine where the majority Russian population was being shelled, occupied, and murdered by Ukrainian forces and which faced last February an invasion of a large Western-trained Ukrainian army and neo-Nazi militias intended to overthrow the two independent Donbass republics recognized  by the Russian government.  The republics requested Russia’s intervention, which made the “limited military operation” legal under international law.

As my readers know, I regard the limited operation a mistake as it has drawn out the conflict and allowed the West to get deeply involved, thus promising a wider war that would likely turn nuclear.  I thought and still do that Russia was emphasizing legality at the risk of nuclear war.

The Kremlin has now acted to remove the constraint of international law with the referendums in the four areas whether the inhabitants wish reunification with Russia.  It is clear that the vote will be yes, and that the Duma and the Kremlin will proceed rapidly to reincorporate the former Russian territory back into Russia.

EN -- Manlio Dinucci -- Draghi's aberrant attack on Russia and the recycling of Azov neo-Nazis

Draghi's aberrant attack on Russia

and the recycling of Azov neo-Nazis

In his interview with Rete 4 Mediaset, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov raised a series of issues of the utmost importance for Italy and Europe. However, nobody in the Italian and European political world took them into consideration. Prime Minister Draghi dismissed the interview with these words: "We are talking about a country, Italy, where there is freedom of expression. Minister Lavrov belongs to a country where there is no freedom of expression. This country, Italy, allows people to express their opinions freely, even when they are obviously false, aberrant. What Minister Lavrov said is aberrant." The Italian government thus confirms not only that it has turned Italy into a belligerent country, ranking fourth among suppliers of arms to Kiev's forces, but that it seeks all-out confrontation with Russia.

This is in line with what is happening in Europe and the United States, where the attack on everything Russian is underway: while Russian women's soccer teams are banned from European championships, the Metropolitan Opera in New York expels Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, because she refuses to condemn her government.

At the same time, Rai invites to Porta a Porta "the wives of the fighters of the Azov battalion", which is presented as a handful of heroic resistance to the Russian invaders. To the recycling campaign of the neo-Nazis of Azov also participate the 7 and the major Italian newspapers. To demonstrate the true nature of the Azov battalion, now upgraded to the level of special forces regiment, is a report of Time magazine of just a year ago, before the same magazine turned the page by joining the international campaign of support to the Kiev regime. A report by Vittorio Rangeloni from Mariupol demolishes, through the testimonies of the inhabitants of Mariupol themselves, the image of Azov presented by the Italian and Western mainstream.

WAR / Our life is at stake  

https://store.byoblu.com/prodotto/la-guerra-e-in-gioco-la-nostra-vita/

The war advances, but it is not the one that the political-media mainstream makes it appear to our eyes. To understand this, one cannot remain at the still image of what is happening in Ukraine. One must watch the docufilm of the events that, from the end of the Second World War to today, have led to the current situation.

Crucial is the moment in which, after the end of the Cold War with the disintegration of the USSR, the United States and the other Western powers impose their unipolar order, their economic hegemony with globalization, their unique thought with the sprawling multimedia apparatus, while the US and NATO demolish with war the States that are an obstacle to their plans of domination.

On this background the Russian military operation in Ukraine takes place. It is not only a response to the US-NATO escalation, including nuclear escalation, which endangers Russia's security. It is a response to the West's claim to maintain a unipolar world under its own domination. This opens the challenge of the new historical period, that of building a multipolar world. 

It is not a coincidence that, after the daily terrorist hammering on the deadly threat of the virus, the mainstream now carries out the daily terrorist hammering on the deadly threat of Russia, demonizing President Putin. While the European Union is suicidally severing economic ties and demolishing centuries-old cultural bridges with Russia, it is up to the peoples of Europe to make the no-longer-postponed choices on which our future and our very lives depend.
