DJ;

-Some crazies from the UK came up with a suggestion of NATO forces moving into western Ukraine so Ukraine forces could all concentrate on frontlines

-Poland "slowly distancing itself"..."Crimea is Russian" that kind of talk

Absence of US Strategy, Middle East & Ukraine - John Mearsheimer, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen

DJ, More US/UK bombs on Yemen, US again bombing Syria/Iraq...(they have been doing that for years)....

Fears in the region is that IS may be reinforced...another "NATO proxy"...."western backed moderate terrorists"....

-------------

DJ-A "speculation/estimate" -my view- If "western power index" for 2019 would be 100 that power index now may be 70....

-west is destroying itself

-BRICS+ is on the rise....

So if the goal of all these wars is to "save the US$/western/US dominance" we are doing it in a very stupid way...

Within a few years -if we go on this way- western "power index" will be <50...(GDP-PPP may give some indication)

Eastern Europe may be back under Russian/BRICS+/EAEU influence...

Some comments;








The Biden administration and ‘Israel’ (a large U.S. military base masquerading as a country) have launched a war of aggression they are doomed to lose. The era of U.S. domination is over. The sooner Washington accepts this, the better off we all will be: https://moonofalabama.org/2024/02/ending-us-presence-in-middle-east.html#more

-








Thomas Friedman is a despicable ethno-supremacist Zionist who writes for the deeply racist . The barbaric West imposed the law of the jungle upon the civilized world centuries ago.

DJ; arrogance is NOT civilization....








By embracing Israel’s allegations against UNRWA, the White House and its allies not only helped deflect attention from the ICJ ruling, but make clear that Israel has their blessing to ignore it. https://aaronmate.net/p/cutting-aid-to-refugees-us-advances

DJ, the US is "trying to stay #1" and in history the #1 is always in (a) war...I do NOT get European leaders following blindly "US orders"-destroying themselves...

I do not see myself as "nationalistic" but I "love my country"....I would like to think "we made our own choices"....but NO ! In lots of aspects "NL becoming another US state"....

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta International has a brief message. "Killing, stealing, occupying others land or repressing an entire people is totally forbidden in Jewish Religion." Israel is a Zionist state. Being Zionist and anti-Israeli doesn't make you anti-Semitic. The Zionists use the Jewish religion for their own benefit. Judaism is not Zionism.

-

Biden isn't technically lying when he says the US does not seek conflict in the middle east. The US seeks DOMINATION in the middle east, and would prefer to receive that domination willingly from submissive subjects. Only when middle easterners refuse to submit is there conflict.

-








Funny thing that... ISIS gets 'reactivated' during US strikes on Iraq. Both ISIS and the US were fighting the same people last night. Can we just skip the formalities and call them USIS moving forward?

DJ...NATO as a new form of nazism promoting terror all over the world...US-CIA airlifting "IS fighters" from one oil-rich region to another with the "US/NATO lie" we are fighting IS...

Americans: healthcare please US government: Sorry did you say bomb Syria, Iraq and Yemen in facilitation of an active genocide? Americans: no, healthcare US government: Alright you drive a hard bargain but let's go bomb Syria, Iraq and Yemen in facilitation of an active genocide.

Again...we are STILL in a pandemic, climate collapse getting worse by the hour (US-west getting hit by extreme weather)....and politicians go for more war...

-"Saving the US$"...at least so the rich can switch to gold etc...

-putting trillions in war-industry political donors...

-destroying the basics of democracy...

[url]https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/ukraine-army-uses-american-supplied-himars-to-strike-bakery-killing-20-civilians[/url] or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/ukraine-army-uses-american-supplied-himars-to-strike-bakery-killing-20-civilians ...

just another NATO genocide....

Yesterday, we lost our colleague and friend Hedaya Hamad, Director of the Youth and Volunteers Department, at the PRCS - #Gaza Strip to the bullets of the Israeli occupation in the siege of PRCS headquarters and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis.

 ðŸ’”Hedaya was killed when, as usual, she rushed to rescue the injured displaced people who were sheltering at PRCS after being shot by Israeli soldiers. 

Until the last breath, Hedaya embodied the meanings of sacrifice, humanity and volunteerism that she has always believed in throughout her life and the course of her work and volunteering. #NotATargetâŒ#IHL

Immoral zionists are harassing a Christian clergyman. 

International intervention is needed against Israel and its occupying zionists or they will never stop. 

Judaism commands us to get along well with our neighbors and not to harm them, regardless of their religion or nationality. 

Zionists commit all kinds of immoral acts by ignoring the Torah and G-d. Zionists are not Jews. 

Zionists are perverted people. 

Jews lived in peace and harmony with Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land for centuries. 

When the State of Israel was established, this friendship and good neighborliness ended because of the Zionists.

Genocide is nothing new to humankind. But to commit genocide live, to brag about it, to look the population in the eye, to ask everyone not to "lecture us" and still enjoy Western support without accountability is unheard of.

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-calls-urgent-un-security-council-meeting-condemn-illegal-us-strikes[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-calls-urgent-un-security-council-meeting-condemn-illegal-us-strikes ;

Russia has condemned the Friday night large-scale US strikes on Syria and Iraq, saying it was an illegal 'aggression' and that an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting must be convened to address it.

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Saturday of the American operation which killed some 40 people, including civilians, that it "once again demonstrated to the world the aggressive nature of US policy in the Middle East and Washington’s complete disregard for international law."

DJ, the US may end up isolated in defending the genocide on Palestinians in Palestine by its "israel-proxy"...

Will Zaluzhny go quietly? Will Ukrainian soldiers? “If it weren't for Zaluzhnyi, we would all be speaking Russian already. If Zaluzhnyi is fired, there could be a riot,” said Yevhen, a 38-year-old soldier serving on the front lines in southern Ukraine from an article published today in Bloomberg. Bloomber (archived/no paywall): https://archive.is/RZQez#selection-4923.73-4923.154

tucker carlson is expected to have an interview with Putin...western "main-stream-media" propaganda have a big problem....most people may no longer believe them...








Will there be quiet on the Ukrainian front now that the US sent another 14 billion dollars to Israel?

DJ....the more the US does spent on wars the faster de-dollar-ization will go....

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

The US has never done anything good for the middle east. All it's brought to the region is a bunch of murderous military operations and the nonstop murderous military operation that is the state of Israel.

DJ, two remarks on this; 

-A "dominant global power" in the 20th/21st century needed to be in control over energy...The US replaced the UK...they replaced the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire after World War One...You can not be the "global #1" without major control on energy....

-In 1948 both the US and USSR supported "an idea of a Jewish State"....Jewish soldiers who did fight in the UK, Russian armies made the basics for the "IDF"....Europe further complicated matters by dealing with "israel" as if it was in Europe...

However Bad You Think Israel Is, It's Worse "So it turns out the IDF has been running a Telegram channel featuring homemade snuff films in which Gazans are brutally murdered by Israeli forces, captioned with celebrations of the gore and pain therein."

DJ see also [url]https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/however-bad-you-think-israel-is-its[/url] or https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/however-bad-you-think-israel-is-its 

Both in Ukraine and in Palestine there were "very brutal crimes" done by "organized groups" under responsibility of a western supported government...

DJ-There is NO excuse for these crimes...however we did see these kind of brutality in Rwanda, Cambodia/Kmehr, done by IS...

A war can turn a decent human being into a monster....

[url]https://books.google.nl/books/about/Are_We_All_Nazis.html?id=HxMhAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y[/url] or https://books.google.nl/books/about/Are_We_All_Nazis.html?id=HxMhAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y ;

This book is based on the famous experiments conducted by Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram, which concluded that given an adjusted, controlled environment, most of us will act in a manner at total odds with our normal behavior patterns. Dr. Hans Askenasy agrees with these findings, and presents, with compelling logic and scholarship, a most disquieting view: that the Nazis who carried out the murder of six million Jews were neither sadists, madmen or monsters.

 Most of us would like to think they were, for then the responsibility for the atrocities they committed could be placed upon a special class of criminals or lunatics essentially different from the rest of us. Auschwitz could not, we like to believe, have happened here--yet it is psychologically easy to ignore responsibility when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of evil. 

The author concludes that the main cause of large-scale destructiveness is not individual criminality, but social abnormality--a collective madness which we do not fully understand and with which we have not yet come to terms.--From publisher description.

DJ...it is "not normal" to grab a gun and shoot at other people-however in a "war" you become a "hero" when you do so...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule ;

The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one would want to be treated by them. It is sometimes called an ethics of reciprocity, meaning that you should reciprocate to others how you would like them to treat you (not necessarily how they actually treat you). Various expressions of this rule can be found in the tenets of most religions and creeds through the ages.[1]

-

Ancient Egypt[edit]

Possibly the earliest affirmation of the maxim of reciprocity, reflecting the ancient Egyptian goddess Ma'at, appears in the story of "The Eloquent Peasant", which dates to the Middle Kingdom (c. 2040–1650 BCE): "Now this is the command: Do to the doer to make him do."[4][5] This proverb embodies the do ut des principle.[6]Late Period (c. 664–323 BCE) papyrus contains an early negative affirmation of the Golden Rule: "That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another."[7]

DJ..."they shall NOT hate"....Why do we end up with "leaders"  spreading hate and fear ?

Russian Special Forces Entered Central Avdiivka. Military Summary And Analysis 2024.02.4

DJ, MS trying to get a "realistic view" on )mostly) the war in Ukraine.

-Right wing/nationalists only "accepted" zelensky because zalushny was head of the military...so replacing zalushny endangers the position of zelensky...

-Some Ukraine military are "on strike" -with familymembers also on strike to get their loved ones back alive...

-[url]https://tass.com/politics/1741507[/url] or https://tass.com/politics/1741507The number of fatalities following the Ukrainian strike on Lisichansk has climbed to 28 people, the press service of the Russian Emergencies Ministry told TASS.

DJ...even NL "news" mentioned this "attack"...NOS-NL-"news" is a propaganda outlet...Maybe EU countries are "moving" on Ukraine ? 

-Ukraine military find themselves in impossible positions...logistics/supplies are problematic...

[url]https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/health-authorities-around-the-world-are-deliberately-concealing-covid-19-data-and-even-changing-their-websites-despite-a-global-surge[/url] or https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/health-authorities-around-the-world-are-deliberately-concealing-covid-19-data-and-even-changing-their-websites-despite-a-global-surge 

DJ, Both Ukraine and Palestine must be in a major health crisis. 

There is a limit to what "western help" can mean...There is NO public support in the "west" for western military -in public- on the frontlines (defending the US$, the rich elite...Who is attacking who ? If Russia, Iran are "bad" why the fighting is in Eastern Europe/West Asia ?)...

Both "israel" and "ukraine" are running out of "soldiers"...Both see their economy gone...with that the future...

The End of Free Speech in America? 

We used to live in a country where we could speak our minds without fear of backlash. We could debate, disagree, and challenge each other without losing our rights or our dignity. 

But now, Americans are being muzzled, banned, and canceled for expressing views that do not conform to the dominant narrative. 

This is not only a threat to our democracy but to our humanity. 

We must stand up for our freedom of speech before it is too late.

DJ, I am NOT "anti-semitic" would like to see a sort of "two-state solution" or "multi-culture Palestine" (with room for all people)...I am NOT "pro-Putin"...However I do think spending trillions on wars while keeping most of the global population in poverty is criminal stupidity....

We need those trillions to solve problems like global health;

.... "She explains that, if we think of Covid simply in terms of the acute stage of infection, we are only looking at the tip of the iceberg…"

and climate collapse...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Unseen Power Struggles in the Middle East

and 

[url]https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/02/mbs-says-john-kirby-needs-some-mouth-wash.html[/url] or https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/02/mbs-says-john-kirby-needs-some-mouth-wash.html ;

The Kingdom has communicated its firm position to the U.S. administration that there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capitol, and that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces withdraw from the Gaza strip.

DJ, Somehow the US/NATO simply does not get it....Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Iran (and Ethiopia) joined BRICS...do NOT follow US orders any longer...

[url]https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/bulletin-european-country-issues-notam-for-unplanned-military-activity-necessary-to-protect-national-security[/url] or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/bulletin-european-country-issues-notam-for-unplanned-military-activity-necessary-to-protect-national-security DJ-I link this "NOtice To all AirMen (NOTAM) for eastern Poland till june 5 with NATO exercises...90,000 NATO soldiers not that far from the Ukraine border...

--------------

-We are in a NATO-BRICS war with "ukranie" and "israel" as NATO proxies-run by the US...

-US/NATO providing by now as good as ALL the tools for war, weapons, intel, fuel...but not a lot of (wo)men...

-NATO itself does NOT have enough soldiers/weapons for a very large war....

-NATO also has no money for such wars...

How US' Staggering $34 Trillion Debt Can Trigger a Global Rebellion | Vantage with Palki Sharma

DJ...the US had to loan money (from Japan to Luxemburg) to fight wars...[url]https://www.usdebtclock.org/[/url] or https://www.usdebtclock.org/ US debt now over 34,2 TRILLION !!!! 122,72% of the US GDP....

BRICS do want economic growth...they are NOT waiting for wars....

-A lot of energy producers (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia) want diversification of their economy...not over 50% energy-income

-South Africa, Brazil, Ethiopia, Egypt, China know what poverty and war is...they do NOT want that...

----------------------

Again...the "west" dominated the world for the last 500 years....The "rest" did see a lot of poverty and racism...They will NOT accept that any longer...

DJ-BRICS+ is doing ALL IT CAN to avoid a major war....however if the "west" keeps pushing for war there may be no other option left...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

BRICS+ on the offensive....

DJ-Hamas is fighting in Gaza -still- because it is getting supplies...In Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen there are militias with (religious) links with Iran-however a lot of local people make up those groups...

Russia and China did have talks with "Korea" on reunification maybe for decades...

North Korea, Iran may be providing weapons/tech for the war against NATO in Ukraine....

Cuba, Angola a.o. may even have "volunteers" fighting on the Russian side...Russia has limited military in Syria-was allowed to use Iran air bases for a short time to send Russian military goods from Russia to Syria...

India, China did invest in Iran oil industry...

Diplomacy is offering a BRICS-alternative for "working with the west"....

Eastern Europe may maybe get parts of western Ukraine if they join "the rest" break with NATO...The Baltics/Balkan both may have problems if they do not make deals with Russia...They end up in a remote corner of the EU...

So...without open war BRICS+ is already very active...

--------------

Military options....

There were "stories" on a Venezuela-Guyana (border) conflict...disagreements going back to when Guyana was a colony of Zeeland (Zeeland in SW-NL...also the Roosevelt family came from Zeeland-moved to Nieuw Nederland to start a farm on Manhattan-just north of the "Walstraat"....

Argentina was supposed to join BRICS+...milei did make -for now- another choice...Brazil pushed for Argentina to become a BRICS+ member...Argentina has a lot of problems-milei may turn out to be another bolsenaro...a US-clown...Latin America may "join hands" on a strategy moving away from the US...milei may bring chaos-Latin America could decide for a Latin American intervention...(with Brazil doing the main job)....There also was discussion on another US intervention on Haïti...why leave that to the US ????

In Africa now three countries are members of BRICS+; South Africa/Suid Afrika, Egypt and Ethiopia...In West Africa there have been a number of (anti-French) coups...Niger was the main supplier of uranium for France...Nigeria is a major oil producer in West Africa...

Like in Latin America "regional cooperation" (Organization for African Unity+) may be possible by now...Gadaffi in Libya was murdered by NATO when he made plans for a [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinar[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinar backed by gold and energy to be used for all of Africa...

The US/NATO may no longer be able to organize enough chaos and epidemics to stop such currency plans...

Southern/Eastern Africa is already doing deals with BRICS-from energy to food...India has been a major influence for a long time (partly because of UK-colonialsm). China is investing in infra-structure...Climate problems are very major in Africa...Not only finance but also know-how is needed to deal with these problems...(There was a conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia over water from the Nile-river). 

The EU has been a sort of "model" for some African countries...A very major problem is Central Africa...DRC/CAR...BRICS+ intervention may be needed to create a basis for development....BRICS+ is NOT closing the door for constructive cooperation with western countries...the problem is in the "west" still clinging to neo-colonialism...

If we make it to 2100 "USA" could stand for "United States of Africa"....

In Europe Serbia did see the end of Yugoslavia-by NATO- in the 90"s...because Serbs wanted cooperation with Russia/Belarus...The EU is moving high speed to bankruptcy...

"We" may wish to see renewable energy as the main new energy...with nuclear power as a second option...However infrastructure and industry are not ready for it...

Sticking to the US to defend the US$ is NOT an European interest...(in itself-EU countries did buy a lot of US debts...so in that way we are kept hostage by the US)...

Here in Western Europe we may see a time of chaos and protests...after that "new politics" may show more realism...Eastern Europe may see nationalism...taking parts of Ukraine in exchange giving up NATO/EU membership...(Poland was supposed to get the Euro...still not decided for that...). 

From Finland to Romania there may be a "need" for Russia(n energy) to create a new stability...We may face civil wars...

DJ, Germany, US, UK, France, Spain, Italy are "not that united"...Scotland, Catalunya, Bavaria may decide to go their own way...The Yugoslavia break-up can show up in the west...(with BRICS+ "help")...

There may NOT be a big global war if BRICS+ chooses to become more "assertive" ...it could bring a lot of smaller conflicts. Limiting/control of a conflict has been shown in Syria by Russia and Iran..."pick your battle"...strategy...finding archievable goals...with public support...

In Eastern Ukraine Russia now is an another offensive-and may get help from the local population fed up with zelensky (by now)...If "the west" is sinking into economic chaos "it is the economy" that matters-BRICS+ may see chances...

-Will nuclear powers be willing to use nuclear weapons against their own population ? Will "biden" use nukes against Texas ? ...I think-in a crisis-he might do so...

The west is its own worst enemy by now...

A very good -and short !- overview of Saudi-US relations; [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8rdxUQ4jos[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8rdxUQ4jos Lena Petrova/LP

SAUDI - U.S. WEAPONS DEAL: Will Saudi Arabia Skip BRICS For U.S. Security Protection?

DJ, the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia (KSA) wil buy [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_Defense[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_Defense (THAAD) from lockheed-martin-with 50% of the production in KSA !!!

LP is correct; Saudi Arabia will join BRICS+ if it is not already part of it yet...Like Türkiye KSA is "balancing" between east and west. BRICS+ would love to do bussinesses with "the west"...DJ-It is the "west" sanctioning the rest-outcome;

-Russia increasing refinery capacity for oil and gas; now exporting diesel, kerosine to a.o. China, India, Türkiye, KSA...that export part of it to the west...

-China starting its own chipmaking-industry...finding new ways for G5/G6 tech...

-North Korea no longer isolated-increasing deals with Russia, China

-Syria now full member of the Arab community

-the west sinking into economic/political chaos....

Ukrainians Are Running Away | Zircon HyperSonic Strike. Military Summary For 2024.02.07

DJ, Military Summary describing a slow collapse of Ukraine/NATO defense in Eastern Ukraine...Ukraine soldiers getting frozen, without artillery support...February 7 may have seen another 1,055 Ukraine soldiers getting killed...

budanov is on the Russian terrorist list...CIA/MI6 want him to replace zalushny...(budanov loves to kill Russian civilians inside Russia)....

-------------

US just deployed Special Forces on long term basis to Kinmen island, on the doorstep of Xiamen, a major Chinese seaport. These Green Berets won't be able to stop PLA landing at all. They serve as "tripwire" to be sacrificed on the frontline to bring the US into war with China

DJ-I did see a clip of "israeli" soldiers shooting at children and filming it...just for fun...(I can not find the twitter link-yet  [url]https://twitter.com/real1maria/status/1755256638238290127[/url] or https://twitter.com/real1maria/status/1755256638238290127 

IOF general explains how snipers identified and were given authorisation to shoot children during the peaceful March of Return in 2018

(so the above clip is from 2018...[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtUoIpoh0BA[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtUoIpoh0BA bbc...in 2018...)...it comes on top of lots of proof "israel" is committing very serious war crimes on a large scale...they film/post it...

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO8uJDIfll8[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO8uJDIfll8 ;

During the first Palestinian "intifada" (uprising), Israeli forces perpetrated a policy of breaking protesters' bones. More information about the this policy is at https://iakn.us/3wqfrGN and https://iakn.us/3k2ziqy. The video is an excerpt from the documentary "Occupation 101 - Voices of the Silenced Majority" - available at https://iakn.us/Occ101 and https://vimeo.com/18333779 (The narrator of the video is American author Alison Weir, founder of the nonprofit organization If Americans Knew.) Yitzhak Rabin, the initiator of this policy, later became Israeli Prime Minister, and is now known as a 'peacemaker'. Few people are aware of this history, and the fact that during Israel's founding war, Rabin personally ordered that Palestinian inhabitants of Lydda “be expelled quickly without attention to age.”  Thousands of refugees, entire families, elderly people, women and children marched about 15 miles eastwards in the height of summer. Dozens, including infants, did not survive the journey, as reported at https://iakn.us/3k3uUXY.

It reminds me of nazi-crimes...a nazi standing on the bodies of three jews he just killed-proud- wants a photo of it...Is there something in some "israeli' making them repeat the crimes their grandparents had to endure ? 

Are we all nazis-the book based on the [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment made clear people can do the most terrible things in a way they do not feel a responsibility-only follow orders...

There are legal aspects, I think it is more important to know the psychological aspect...we did see extreme crimes also in Ukraine...The US after 9-11 went on (outsourcing) torture around the globe...








Rampant COVID Poses New Challenges in the Fifth Year of the Pandemic « The virus is rampant. We’re still in a pandemic. There’s a lot of complacency at the individual level, and more concerning to me is that at the government level »

DJ, WHO work sabotaged by governments...Here in NL the ukraine flag will be raised over parliament on february 24....

Again...the main reason why people do not learn from history is they do not want to....

Tucker Carlson is on the kill-list of Ukraine, may see EU sanctions for the interview with Putin...T.C. also wanted to interview zelensky -on the same basis- but zelensky refused...

Have we gone completely mad ????

DJ, The US/NATO would be making plans to seize Iran tankers...however Iran and its (BRICS) allies may than take western tankers...BRICS-ships have no problems crossing the Red Sea...it is a further problem for western-war supporting- shipping...

[url]https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1755734526678925682[/url] or https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1755734526678925682 the Putin interview with Tucker Carlson...

[url]https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1755763948207423669[/url] or https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1755763948207423669 

Initial thoughts after the interview: 

-Putin knows way too much history 
-Putin is operating on an intellectual plane far above all US politicians 
-Putin appears to want cooperation but the West have isolated Russia 
-Putin does not want to invade Poland or take over the world 
-Putin is not the deranged warmonger the MSM describes him as 
-Putin is well-aware of the “Deep State” and recognizes the CIA as nefarious 

I really wanted to see Putin go into detail on the degeneration of Western society, gender insanity, etc., because I think it would have resonated with the American People. 

The history about Ukrainian Nazism will be effective and his talk of “denazification” will certainly draw some attention. 

Obviously I wanted Tucker to ask Putin about the biolabs in Ukraine, but as I stated yesterday, this topic might be too far of a jump down the rabbit hole for those new to this realm. 

This interview seemed to be an introductory first impression to appeal to Western citizens and disprove the MSM-created perception of Putin. Anyone who watched the interview objectively would have to agree that Putin is not the monster we were told he was, and negotiations can be made if there is competency from US leadership. 

Hopefully this will change the perception of the US being innocent darlings in the conflict, and can eventually lead to mass realization that the US/NATO are the ones who brought war and weapons to Russia’s doorstep via espionage and CIA color revolutions.

DJ...for those that did "watch events" from a more neutral or anti-war viewpoint the interview will not bring much news...The war-loving idiots will NOT watch the interview...Everything not fitting their story is "propaganda".....

[url]https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1755802926520713310[/url] or https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1755802926520713310 ;

A Dementia Patient Is President Because It Doesn’t Matter Who The President Is 

So it turns out the dementia symptoms Biden’s supporters have long dismissed as a “stutter” are actually exactly what they look like. 

The special counsel assigned to investigate Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents reports that investigators “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but concludes that “no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.” 

Which normally would be cause for a sigh of relief by this administration and its supporters, except that among the reasons given for this conclusion is that the president has gone senile. “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” 

Special Counsel Robert Hur writes to Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying that “Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023. And his cooperation with our investigation… will likely convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting willfully — that is, with intent to break the law — as the statute requires.”

-

In short, the president’s brain don’t work. It’s shot. The “leader of the free world” has rusted out gray matter. It’s like swiss cheese in there. 

DJ, So the US voters have the -absurd- choice between an old man with dementia or another old man with a crim/fraud history as next US president...

In the UK "labour" comes up with a candidate more or less agreeing on most of what sunak is doing...In fact most western countries have to deal with a form of "uni-party" with any alternative painted as "extremists" (and often for good reasons...). 

The "west" is collapsing....to many lies to cover to many (public) debts with to much money going to a rich elite "never wasting any crisis-even creating crises for profit"...

The neo-liberal blind capitalism is crashing...BRICS+ countries often do have some sort of balance between private and public interests...Companies are NOT allowed to take over the country....The west is run by a war industry promoting wars for profits...big pharma exploiting pandemics for profits...climate collapse=profits...so why try to slow down climate collapse ? It means less profits !!!

Blind capitalism is destroying this planet...

part 2, 

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tucker-carlson-putin-interview[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tucker-carlson-putin-interview ;

Last week, Tucker Carlson traveled to Rusia to interview President Vladimir Putin. This sent the left into hysterics - some of whom have called for the journalist to face sanctions, or worse.

DJ....biden is NOT "left wing".....NATO never was seen as a "peace group" by (real) left wingers....Somehow in the US everything biden is doing gets presented as "left wing"....

I would welcome it if left wing activist showed themselves even more...Against a neo-colonial atlantic terrorist organization ...nato...

NATO Expansion

Getting to the meat of the Ukraine war, Putin told Carlson that "The former Russian leadership assumed that the Soviet Union had ceased to exist and therefore there were no longer any ideological dividing lines. Russia even agreed voluntarily and proactively to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and believed that this would be understood by the so-called civilized West as an invitation for cooperation and association."

"We were promised no NATO to the east, not an inch to the east, as we were told. And then what? They said, well, it's not enshrined on paper, so we'll expand."

"That is what Russia was expecting, both from the United States and this so-called collective West as a whole. 

DJ...one may discuss what was promised...another point has to be is it wise....A bigger organisation is not always a better one...This goes for NATO, EU but also could be a major risk for BRICS+....

From Readovka: "The parents and relatives of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, still live in Russia, and his father is a retired colonel of the Russian Armed Forces. 

As discovered by Readovka, the native of Vladimir oblast and newly appointed commander-in-chief of the AFU is still connected to Russia not only by his place of birth—his relatives, including his mother, father, and brother, continue to live there. 

Syrsky's mother, Lyudmila, confirmed to Readovka that it is indeed they with father Alexander in the photo. 

Notably, the father of the AFU commander-in-chief, Stanislav, is a retired colonel of the Russian army, now a pensioner. 

In the photo, he is with relative Lyudmila—currently, they reside in Vladimir. Also living with them is Oleg, the brother of the AFU commander-in-chief, who, according to Readovka, works as a security guard. 

Before the start of the Special Military Operation, Syrsky's parents were active on social networks, where they posted patriotic posts—in the frames from 2019, they are seen at the "Immortal Regiment" march, where the family wears the St. George Ribbon (banned in Ukraine) and is proud of the family's past. 

Whether the new commander-in-chief of the AFU communicates with his family now or has altogether forgotten about them is unknown."

DJ...zalushny may have lost his job because he (Seymour Hersh) was talking with Russian generals on the end of this crazy war...








Back in September 2014, when it was still permissible to report on the suffering of people on the other side - But anything seen to "legitimise" the actions of Russia is now dismissed as propaganda - The problem is that we also delegitimised diplomacy and negotiations

DJ, NATO may be running out of means for more (non-nuclear) war....








BREAKING: Nicaragua is taking Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for their complicity in the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

DJ...my view; the "west" may find itself cornered...Public opinion may move anti-NATO, anti political corrupt elite...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ-The "west" is now also losing the propaganda war....








Biden issues a POWERFUL REBUKE OF ISRAEL, telling Netanyahu to ‘tone down the genocide a bit, Jack” then shipped the IDF 300 more F-35s equipped with the latest UN shelter-seeking tech

-








This is how western propaganda works. It's not the big lies that do the most damage, it's these subtle distortions of reality applied with studious consistency. That's what builds a pro-empire worldview in a westerner's skull without their noticing they're being propagandized.

-

I won't promote any content from the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin. Not that I have anything against Putin, I think he's been a pretty good president for his country: just look where Russia was when he took it over compared to the metrics today. 

For instance infant mortality in Russia is now 25% lower than in America, always a particularly good indicator of a society working reasonably well (or, in the case of America, not working well). When Putin took over in 2,000, infant mortality in Russia was 164% over America's... 

I also, like everyone who follows me knows, believe Russia was deliberately provoked into the Ukraine war by NATO, it's painfully obvious. I do however believe that Carlson has a hidden agenda, shared by a large segment of the right in the U.S., of rehabilitating Russia in the eyes of the American public in order to put the country on America's side of the ledger in order to contain China. 

They believe (probably correctly, from a realist standpoint) that it was a historic mistake of gigantic proportions to antagonize Russia and push the world's 2 other great powers in each others' arms against the 3rd one, America.

Maybe as a reminder; [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_war_in_the_Baltic_states[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_war_in_the_Baltic_states ;

The guerrilla war in the Baltic states was an insurgency waged by Baltic (LatvianLithuanian and Estonian) partisans against the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1956. Known alternatively as the "Forest Brothers", the "Brothers of the Wood" and the "Forest Friars" (EstonianmetsavennadLatvianmežabrÄļiLithuanianžaliukai), these partisans fought against invading Soviet forces during their occupation of the Baltic states during and after World War II.[4][5] Similar insurgent groups resisted Soviet occupations in BulgariaPolandRomania and Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_war_in_the_Baltic_states#Guerrilla_war

By the late 1940s and the early 1950s, the Forest Brothers were provided with supplies, liaison officers and logistical coordination by the British (MI6), American and Swedish secret intelligence services.[citation needed] That support played a key role in directing the Baltic resistance movement, but it diminished significantly after MI6's Operation Jungle was severely compromised by the activities of British spies (Kim Philby and others) who forwarded information to the Soviets and enabled the MGB to identify, infiltrate and eliminate many Baltic guerrilla units and cut others off from any further contact with Western intelligence operatives.[citation needed]

The conflict between the Soviet armed forces and the Forest Brothers lasted over a decade and cost at least 50,000 lives. Estimates of the number of fighters in each country vary. Misiunas and Taagepera[23] estimate that figures reached 30,000 in Lithuania, between 10,000 and 15,000 in Latvia and 10,000 in Estonia. On the other hand, professor Heinrihs Strods, based on NKVD reports, claims that in 1945, 8,916 partisans were killed in Lithuania, 715 in Latvia and 270 in Estonia, which makes Lithuanian losses around 90%.[24] Even though the real numbers were even larger, many believe this reveals the ratio of the size of resistance among the three countries.[25]

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf#[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf# 

Werwolf (pronounced [ˈveËÉ̯vÉ”lf]German for "werewolf") was a Nazi plan which began development in 1944,[1] to create a resistance force which would operate behind enemy lines as the Allies advanced through Germany, in parallel with the Wehrmacht fighting in front of the lines. It is widely misconstrued as having been intended to be a guerrilla force to harass Allied forces after the defeat of Germany, a misconception created by Joseph Goebbels through propaganda disseminated in the waning weeks of the war through his "Radio Werwolf,” which was not actually connected in any way with the military unit.

DJ, There are claims the OSS (pre-CIA) supported "resistance" in the Soviet Zone-later East Germany. 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf#Soviet_reprisals[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf#Soviet_reprisals ;

In October 1945, Beria reported to Joseph Stalin the "liquidation" of 359 alleged Werwolf groups.[58] Of those, 92 groups with 1,192 members were "liquidated" in Saxony alone.[58] On 5 August 1946, Soviet minister for internal affairs Sergei Nikiforovich Kruglov reported that in the Soviet occupation zone, 332 "terrorist diversion groups and underground organizations" had been disclosed and "liquidated".[58] A total of about 10,000 youths were interned in NKVD special camps, half of whom did not return.[59] Parents as well as the East German administration and political parties, installed by the Soviets, were denied any information on the whereabouts of the arrested youths.[58] The Red Army's torching of Demmin, which resulted in the suicide of hundreds of people, was blamed on alleged preceding Werwolf activities by the East German regime.[62]

DJ, The "west" used a lot of (former) nazi's in a "secret war" against the Soviet Union. Very likely untill the end of that Soviet Union...From spies to sabotage, propaganda campains...

[url]https://twitter.com/MikaelValterss1/status/1756140756094321014[/url] or https://twitter.com/MikaelValterss1/status/1756140756094321014 ;

COMMENT RECLAIMING HISTORICAL TERRITORIES, FEB 10 2024 Now I'm going to go full Putin and talk about history and contrafactual history. You know me mostly as a military analyst and not so much as historian or as a political analyst, but now I become the historian and will debunk Memis tweet. 

Could Sweden lay claims to Russia and Ukraine if they used Putin's reasoning? 

No of course not. 

Large parts of Ukraine, especially the eastern part, has for most of history belonged to the Russian state or community. 

Many living in Ukraine are Russians and speak russian. Swedish claims on Russia and Ukraine would be based on that Rurik came from Sweden and became the first ruler of what would later become Kievian Rus. But that has nothing to do with Sweden, which didn't either exist as a state in the mid 9th century.

-

In 2013 Russia offered Ukraine a very good economic package after that president Yanukovych decided to not sign the Ukrainian EU association agreement. It had very good economic terms for Ukraine, but the prowestern opposition revolted against this and started the Maidan unrest, which led to the toppling of president Yanukovych. 

Yanukovych has a bad reputation in the West but should have recognition for his leniency towards the opposition. He didn't use the military to strike down the protesters and subsequently met the same fate as many other lenient rulers as Louis XVI of France in 1789, the Shah of Iran in 1979, Nikolaj II in 1917 etc as examples. Being hard is not nice, but efficient, if you want to stay in power.

DJ, The 2014 [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity was western fabricated...like many other "revolutions"...A lot of the killings was done NOT by police but by paid killers brought in to create chaos-at least that is a claim...

History is written by those that want to make some claims on a truth...In the Middle Ages monks did write about vikings...Since the gold etc. was in churches/monasteries of course "vikings had to be terrible"....[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Wars[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Wars ; The Saxon Wars were the campaigns and insurrections of the thirty-three years from 772, when Charlemagne first entered Saxony with the intent to conquer, to 804, when the last rebellion of tribesmen was defeated. In all, 18 campaigns were fought, primarily in what is now northern Germany. They resulted in the incorporation of Saxony into the Frankish realm and their forcible conversion from Germanic paganism to Christianity.[1]

DJ A lot of Saxons did seek safety with the Danes...returned as "vikings" [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings#Etymology[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings#Etymology ...It may not even be clear when the name "Viking/Wiking" first was used...and for what group...

The "vikings" are on the basis of Rossia/Russia....[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Rus%27,_Russia_and_Ruthenia[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Rus%27,_Russia_and_Ruthenia ;

One of the earliest written sources mentioning the people called Rus' (as Rhos) dates to 839 in the Annales Bertiniani. This chronicle identifies them as a Germanic tribe called the Swedes. According to the Kievan Rus' Primary Chronicle, compiled in about 1113, the Rus' were a group of VarangiansNorsemen who had relocated somewhere "from beyond the sea" (by modern interpretations, from Scandinavia), first to the Novgorod Land, then to the south where they created the medieval Kievan state.[2]

So is -in history- Ukraine part of a "greater country-like state" Russia ? 

-"Israel" also has it roots in a claimed history...however that claim is linked with religion. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_(name)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_(name) ; Commentators differ on the original literal interpretation. The text of the Book of Genesis etymologizes the name with the root Å›arah (שָׂרָה‎, "to rule, contend, have power, prevail over"):[5] ×©Ö¸×‚רִיתָ ×¢Ö´×Ö¾×ֱלֹהִינ(KJV: "a prince hast thou power with God"), but modern suggestions read the el as the subject, for a translation of "El rules/judges/struggles"[citation needed] or "El fights/struggles"[citation needed] The Jewish Study Bible of Oxford University Press says on page 68 "The scientific etymology of Israel is uncertain, a good guess being '[The God] El rules.'"[6] implying God through the word for the supreme deity of the Canaanite religion.

DJ, Lots of "nations" -population-groups- united in a religious/language/cultural way may have historic roots but NOT their own country...On the other hand Kuwait, Panama a.o. are "created countries"....(for oil, the canal....)...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism could be seen as an ideology in reaction to anti-semitism in (European) history...

The term "Zionism" is derived from the word Zion (HebrewציוןTzi-yon), a hill in Jerusalem, widely symbolizing the Land of Israel 

-

The Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group and nation[72][73] originating from the Israelites[74][75][76] and Hebrews[77][78] of historical Israel and Judah, two Israelite kingdoms that emerged in the Southern Levant during the Iron Age. Jews are named after the Kingdom of Judah,[79][80][81] the southern of the two kingdoms, which was centered in Judea with its capital in Jerusalem.[82] The Kingdom of Judah was conquered by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE.[83] The Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the First Temple, which was at the center of ancient Judean worship. The Judeans were subsequently exiled to Babylon, in what is regarded as the first Jewish diaspora.[84][85][86]

DJ...there have been several ideas for creating a "Jewish Homeland" outside the Middle East....

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)#History_of_the_name_%22Palestine%22[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)#History_of_the_name_%22Palestine%22 ;

Modern archaeology has identified 12 ancient inscriptions from Egyptian and Assyrian records recording likely cognates of Hebrew Pelesheth. The term "Peleset" (transliterated from hieroglyphs as P-r-s-t) is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring people or land starting from c. 1150 BCE during the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt. The first known mention is at the temple at Medinet Habu which refers to the Peleset among those who fought with Egypt in Ramesses III's reign,[5][6] and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset's Statue. Seven known Assyrian inscriptions refer to the region of "Palashtu" or "Pilistu", beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BCE through to a treaty made by Esarhaddon more than a century later.[7][8] Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term.[ii]

DJ...It would be so welcome if "Palestine" could be a "multi cultural state"....Present "israel" agression should not be ignored...critics of/on it is NOT "anti-semitism"....

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines ;

The Philistines (Hebrewפְּלִשְ×תִּי×romanizedPÉ™lÄ«štÄ«mLXXKoinÄ“ GreekΦυλιστιείμromanized: PhulistieímLatinPhilistaei) were an ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age in a confederation of city-states generally referred to as Philistia.

The Philistines originated as an immigrant group from the Aegean that settled in Canaan circa 1175 BC during the Late Bronze Age collapse. Over time, they gradually assimilated elements of the indigenous

Putin Warns That Weaponizing US Dollar Is a Massive Mistake That Will Backfire

DJ, If you use the US$ as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" it may be wise to keep an eye on where and how one uses the $ in that way...For decades the US could use the $ to dominate the globe...The US$ was not only "backed by debt" it was also backed by NATO....

A comment;

@ProgressiveTruthSeekers
"In this sense, the BRICS countries are making serious trade agreements, "where they are saying: we'll buy from you, you'll buy from us, we don't care about U.S. sanctions and we'll sell to one another, buy and sell in our own currency, not the U.S. dollar."  


  ~Marjorie Taylor Greene, U.S. Congresswoman

DJ, Western dominance was based on keeping all other countries poor...Outsourcing industry-globalization-going for low income/cheap labor did change the picture;

-Western countries did see a lot of "making things-jobs" /industry move away

-"Third World" (in an apartheid-based world) did see ways to improve their economy and trade...

In that way one could claim both trump and biden want to undo globalization outcomes...(Reminding me of US interventions in the 19th century in Japan-in fact laying the foundation for Japan industrialization...resulting in Japanese colonialism...Pacific part of World War Two...).

Report: Egypt warns Israel Rafah offensive may lead to suspension of peace treatyTimes of Israel, Feb 10 2024

Egypt and Saudi Arabia have added their voices to a rising tide of criticism of a planned Israeli ground offensive in the Gaza Strip’s southern city of Rafah, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that such a campaign was forthcoming.

Netanyahu announced Friday that he had ordered the Israeli military to present the cabinet with a plan to both evacuate the city’s civilian population — augmented by over one million refugees from the strip’s north and center — and destroy Hamas’s remaining battalions in the area.
...
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Egyptian officials warned the decades-long peace treaty between Egypt and Israel could be suspended if Israel Defense Forces’ troops enter Rafah, or if any of Rafah’s refugees are forced southward into the Sinai Peninsula.

In addition, Saudi Arabia — which has already conditioned normalization with Israel on an end to hostilities and steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state — issued a statement Saturday warning of “the extremely dangerous repercussions of storming and targeting the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip,” given the city being “the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of people.”

Reuters reported that in an effort to forestall a massive influx of refugees, Egypt has over the past two weeks stationed some 40 tanks near its border with Gaza, after having reinforced the border wall since the beginning of hostilities, both structurally and with surveillance equipment.

On Friday, Israel’s Channel 12 also reported that IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi was opposed to Netanyahu’s plan for a swift Rafah campaign, saying that although the military is technically capable of such an operation, it would be unwise to undertake it without coordination with the Egyptians and plans for the city’s massive refugee population.

Plans are made to react to an onslaught on Rafah:

Sayyed Nasrallah Receives Iranian FM, Discuss Latest Regional DevelopmentsAl Manar, Feb 10 2024

The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, received the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian,

Amir-Abdollahian and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah discussed a variety of issues regarding the developments in the region and the situation in the Gaza Strip during the meeting.

DJ, The fascist netanyahu -protests against "israel" agression are anti-fascist protests !!! NOT anti-semitism !! - wants the "west" US/NATO to start a war with Iran...

A bizarre interpretation of the Bible did result in a "wild card" for western proxy "israel"....There would NOT be an "israel" without the west....

The ongoing genocide on Palestinians is a responsibility of that "west" providing weapons, intel, special forces....Western "media" spread -again- propaganda and lies to enable even more war....

[url]https://twitter.com/carterforva/status/1756175844957888674/photo/1[/url] or https://twitter.com/carterforva/status/1756175844957888674/photo/1 ...media even ignoring what they themselves did write not that long ago....








A Gaza-based journalist reports that amid the famine in northern Gaza, residents have resorted to fishing in the sea to ease their hunger. However, Israeli naval forces fired at them, killing six Palestinians. 

DJ...again "western leaders" support fascism....like most of the "west" did 90 years ago...(because "stalin was worse than hitler-a "good catholic"...) ....

Now that everyone is paying attention to the CIA, I’ll ask the question: 
Why are they considered “American” when they so clearly do not serve the American people? 
It seems to me to be a transnational intelligence agency that protects the financial interests of a few via neverending wars, and controls politicians and media throughout America and Europe. 

Everyone should research the declassified documents of “operation Northwoods”— when the CIA was going to stage a fake terrorist attack against the American people and blame it on Cuba so they could go to war. This is utterly psychopathic but a true, historical fact. 

Fortunately, then-President JFK stood up the to CIA and refused to sign off on the fake terrorist attack. JFK was then mysteriously assassinated by a veteran named Lee Harvey Oswald, who claimed he did not kill JFK, but before Lee could stand trial, he was shot and killed at Dallas police headquarters by a man named Jack Rubenstein. 

The CIA also established another operation at this time, known as, “Operation Mockingbird” to implant propagandist journalists throughout the American media. In the 70’s it was exposed that some journalists were paid up to $500,000 for their services. The more you know.

Do we want to face history ??? Do we want to know how "the west" worked with the nazi's to "liberate oil and gas" ?

DJ-Military Summary/MS on YouTube is a major source of good info for me...The man behind it speaks Russian/Ukrainian and is able to get a lot of info-often confirmed by other sources...It must be a very difficult and time consuminf-often frustrating- job to get some realism on wars...

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o5jSgG10pg[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o5jSgG10pg Weeb Union/WU (DenmarK)  also doing a great job in getting "a perspective"....Like getting some realistic views on wars one also need "info" to get a view on pandemics...That info is getting more and more problematic...

Lots of diseases/variants are now becoming a major issue. Dengue [url]https://www.avianflutalk.com/does-this-sound-like-hemorrhagic-fever-to-you_topic45443.html[/url] or https://www.avianflutalk.com/does-this-sound-like-hemorrhagic-fever-to-you_topic45443.html may be one of them....

Diseases and wars are a "bad combination"...The "Spanish Flu" H1N1 did become a global killer because of World War 1....the same "type" of H1N1 -linked to a 2009 Mexican-flu outbreak seems to be spreading this (northern) winter again...

Dengue may become a problem in Palestine...NATO proxy "israel" is fighting BRICS at that front...

H1N1 may become a problem in Ukraine...another NATO proxy also fighting BRICS...

Avdiivka ENDGAME | Operational Encirclement | Ukrainian Counter-Attack Encircled

DJ reminds me of Stalingrad; [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad 

DJ, hitler did not allow Axis-forces to pull back from Stalingrad...so the 6th army got encircled....In Avdiivka up to 10,000 Ukraine/NATO soldiers are fighting...a lot of them may also end up killed, POW or encircled...

Stalingrad did NOT break the nazi-western army...all of the war did that...Avdiivka may be part now of a NATO-Ukraine collapse...The "west" did invest over a trillion !!!! in the Ukraine war since 2014....Part of it as "loans" with natural resources in Ukraine as security....

Any war is a major economic "job"....losing that "investment in Ukraine" may "break" the US$, € etc....

At 9.30 Weeb Union mentions western/Ukraine propaganda claiming Russia is running out of soldiers/weapons....so Russia has to give up the war this spring...Weeb Union makes clear this is non-sense...DJ-I would go for harder words; IT IS INSANITY !!!!

Denying reality over and over-going for clear lies by both "ukraine" and "israeli" fascists the west did choose to "self destruct"....

The big question now is will NATO use nuclear weapons ? Against who ? Iran ? Russia ? Or western population fed up with a criminal elite ? 

[url]https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1756538898644357197[/url] or https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1756538898644357197 ;

“In The War Of Propaganda, It Is Very Difficult To Defeat The United States” One under-appreciated moment from Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Vladimir Putin came after Putin implied that NATO powers were behind the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline. 

Carlson responded by asking why Putin wouldn’t present evidence of this to the world, so as to “win a propaganda victory.” “In the war of propaganda it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media,” Putin replied, adding, “The ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media are American financial institutions.” 

I don’t know about the specific nature of his Nord Stream insinuations, but Putin is definitely correct about the strength of the American propaganda machine. 

Of all the fronts one could possibly choose to challenge the United States on, propaganda is surely the least favorable. 

The US empire has by far the most sophisticated and effective propaganda machine ever to have existed, operating with such complexity that most people don’t even know it exists.

DJ...here in NL the MH17 mass murder is a painfull memory...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 Both Malaysia and Russia were kept out of the investigation...The main "western proof" came from the Ukraine secret service SBU....

Critical questions on why Russian separatists were allowed to have such kind of air defense ? Why would they shoot at a plane at around 10 km high in the sky-Ukraine used fighter jets flying much lower...? How could Russian air control miss a civil flight from Amsterdam to Malaysia ? These questions remain ignored...for the "west" it had to be clear; blame Putin....(and yes the used BUK-missile was "Russian=Soviet" made...but a Swiss investigation may indicate it was an older type of BUK missile not used by Russia-still in use by Ukraine...Even this does not rule out a group of 30 experts was able to get a hand on Ukraine-BUK...but that was NOT what "western investigation" is claiming...). 

"israel" now claiming Hamas is using tunnels in Gaza with the knowledge of [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNRWA[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNRWA ...western media AGAIN !!! ignoring a lot of hospitals AND tunnels go back to the time "Israel" occupied Gaza...The west is part of the Gaza-genocide...and most western political parties seem to agree with that....

Disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pro Ukro channels paint a dire picture of Avdiivka - If all that turns out to be accurate AFU must try to reopen the flanks - because a retreat is now completely impossible without suffering heavy losses

🇺🇦 The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is bursting at the seams along the entire front line 
The panic sentiment is being dispersed by a Ukrainian journalist, a former adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yuriy Butusov. 
According to him, a critical situation has developed for the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front line due to the offensive of the Russian army. 
The Russian Army had a great advantage along the entire line of combat contact and went on the offensive “in almost all sectors,” and Kiev left the Armed Forces of Ukraine without reinforcements, Butusov summarized. (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/88346)

DJ, Sirsky -new commander of Ukraine army- sending lots of reinforcements to Avdiivka-trying to break the encirclement...MS reported daily Ukraine losses last week may be close to 1.000 soldiers killed...

Without artillery the Ukraine army has NO chance in stopping the Russian army moving west...they can slow down the offensive-at high costs...

So what is next ? In the past zelensky tried to blow up the Ukraine bridge, dams and other PR-stunts...trying to distract from losing a major battle...

-Will NATO move in from Poland ? (DJ-that would pull Poland into a war already lost...so..."no"...)

-Will Russia (and Belarus) move in from the northern borders to "finish" Ukraine ? (DJ-Not that likely-there are still defense lines-such an offensive would mean serious Russian/Belarus losses...)

-Will there be a coup/uprising inside Ukraine ? (DJ-Soldiers send to die in this war sacrifice their lives for a corrupt bunch of criminals...so-an uprising/coup may be likely...Zalushny is backed by Poroshenko and [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitali_Klitschko[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitali_Klitschko ..."extremists" (nationalists/fascists) "tolerated zelensky because they liked zalushny...

Netanyahu’s strategy appears to be based on a willingness to accept the potential loss of 136 Israeli prisoners rather than meet Hamas’ demands. He has articulated a clear position with three key points: rejecting a comprehensive ceasefire, refusing to release Palestinian prisoners involved in attacks that resulted in the killing of Israelis, and insisting on continuing military operations until Hamas is dismantled. Netanyahu also doesn’t see any connection between the war on Gaza and Hamas’s demand to end settler pressure on residents and worshippers in Jerusalem.

BREAKING: Biden told Netanyahu "a military operation in Rafah should not proceed without a credible and executable plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the more than one million people sheltering there"

-








TRANSLATION: Biden has endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Rafah


-

Netanyahu is a genocidal psychopath. Biden is a senile puppet; not sure who pulls his strings. The USA is imploding. Trump is a dangerous clown. Trudeau is weak and past his best before date. AMOC is about to shut down. Enjoy your Sunday:)

How can the U.S. condemn Russia’s  bombing of civilians in Ukraine as a war crime but fund Netanyahu’s war machine, which has killed thousands? How can we criticize the human rights of Iran & China, but ignore the human rights of the Palestinian people?

Conflicting news continues to come from the Avdiivka direction. On the one hand, the Russians have practically completed the design of the cauldron, and on the other hand, sources report that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not plan to retreat and will try to unblock the fortress.

Cracking The Avdiivka Nut | Madness In The Western Ukraine. Military Summary 2024.02.11

DJ, from minute 24;

-In Avdiivka also several Ukraine female soldiers died. (DJ-Women can fight in wars-my view-The Soviet Army, "israel" Kurdish fighters a.o. should be proof of that. )

-A man with epilepsy was "recruited" and died because of epilepsy in an Ukraine army camp...lots of unfit people now rounded up...

-In western Ukraine people end up fighting police/recruiters trying to "mobilize/recruit" people

MS view is a revolt inside Ukraine may end this war soon...

DJ-AGAIN !!! (will the west NEVER learn ???) the west is supporting a corrupt criminal puppet....Based on "experts" the west still believes "Ukraine can win"...Russia running out of reserves...

Even if NATO forces would move in into Ukraine "to stop Russian agression" (while it is NAto-like NAzi's, NApoleon moving east !)  Russia may get help from other BRICS members...

I would NOT rule out a surprise Russian offensive from the south...Ukraine may be sending most of it NATO military to the east....

------------

In 1999 the CIA manufactured a claim that Serbia was engaged in genocide against 1.6 million Albanians in Kosovo. The U.S. and NATO went to war to stop this. In 2024 Israel announces that it will begin a genocidal campaign targeting 1.6 million Palestinians in Rafah. NATO and the EU are silent. The U.S. says get it done by March 10. It’s time for the Arab world to step up and stop this madness. It’s time for the modern day practitioners of genocide in Israel to go the way of their fascist mentors in Nazi Germany.

DJ...the genocide on Palestinians by NATO-proxy "israel" has to be over before summer...so the US can elect biden for four more years....

trump/republicans still rather fight China...so they may seek an agreement with Russia....

US "politics" is run by warcriminals...

----------------

#Israel killed 63 Palestinian civilians in a revenge attack on civilians in the densely populated southern #Gaza city of #Rafah after Israeli occupation forces were ambushed by the Palestinian resistance in Khan Younis, killing and wounding many soldiers. 15 Palestinian civilians were also killed in a single bomb on Deeir al-Balah, in central #Gaza.

Palestinian Agency: Israeli bombing on Rafah kills more than 80 people

-

BREAKING: ðŸ’£ Israel is bombing Rafah while airing a propaganda commercial during the Super Bowl that cost them tens of millions of dollars. ðŸˆ With Americans distracted watching the #SuperBowl#Israel is terrorizing #Rafah, where it told more than a million Palestinian civilians to seek refuge as a ‘safe place’. ðŸš¨ Israel is now intensely bombing Rafah through air, land and sea, in the middle of the night. ðŸ‘¶ðŸ½ 1.4 millions Gazan’s are packed against the Egyptian border. ðŸ©¸ Dozens of bombs have been dropped so far, hitting neighborhoods, schools, and even the areas around hospitals. It is a massacre. ðŸ¤¡ Biden said he’d give the green light so long as Israel had “evacuation plan” for civilians … aka ethnically cleansing them to Egypt. ðŸš IOF is bombing north and east of the city of Rafah, while helicopters open fire in the north. Heavy IOF airstrikes are targeting several parts of the city. ðŸ‡°ðŸ‡¼ Thousands of Palestinians have fled to the Kuwaiti Hospital to seek refuge. ðŸ©¸ Reports of dozens of Palestinian civilians killed so far.

DJ, there are also claims of "israeli tanks" moving into Rafah....The coming hours may see how Saudi Arabia, Egypt (both in BRICS) react...also Jordan made clear such an NATO/"israel" attack would cross a red line...Syria made clear they are ready for war...

Hezbollah in Lebanon know "they are next"...so if a war is unavoidable maybe better choose your time to start one...

NATO forces so far stopped any Arab intervention to stop the ongoing genocide in Palestine. 

Russia may have tried to give diplomacy a chance...with help of China, India (Indonesia, Brazil, Qatar)...

An outcome of this war in West Asia may be BRICS+ countries coordinating a response..."israel" still getting some supplies via land...That may be used as a tool in talks....

A total blockade of "israel" by land-sea and air may be discussed by BRICS+ members...even if it would bring confrontation with US, UK, other NATO countries...Türkiye may join a BRICS+ blockade of "israel"... I would not be surprised if some other NATO members also want to end the ongoing genocide...

NATO is already very divided....

For US, UK the Ukraine war is "far away"....for Poland, Germany, Hungary, Romania it is much to close...(MS claimed Germany preparing to deal with another 10 million Ukraine refugees...I do not know his source...)

Both NATO-proxies "ukraine" and "israel" may see civil war...zelensky and netanyahu are hated by large groups...Both "leaders" destroyed their country for US interests...

EU/UK "leaders" may face the same kind of unrest...."The West" "invested" over a trillion in wars...part as loans that would return via oil/gas exploration...Western "leaders" pushed their countries further towards bankruptcy....

We may get a "very warm western spring"....

DJ, my non expert view on nuclear war risks....

During the 90's Boris Jeltsin talked with Bill Clinton on Russia joining NATO...after "consultations" Clinton said "no"....DJ-I think Clinton talked a.o. with US war-industry...

NATO has become a way of promoting 7 selling mostly US weapons...So if Russia would join NATO it would very likely outcompete the US war industry...Jeltsin may have underlined Russian war industry is NOT privatized or for sale but "strategic"...like "Big Pharma" still is in many countries-under control of the government if not owned by the state...

The US -very likely- only will go for nuclear war in self defense...An all out nuclear war is "bad for bussinesses"...it would ruin the elite...

In World War Two -august 1945- the US was the only nuclear power...so it could use nuclear bombs on Japan...

------

Risks for nuclear war -my view- (still) is the highest in Asia;

-India-Pakistan-China border conflicts ...however all three countries are aware of the risks and seek cooperation (BRICS, CPEC)

-North Korea wants to break its isolation...growing trade with both neighbours Russia and China are priority...

-Both China and Korea have reunification as a very high priority....however both Taiwan and in Korea reunification has to go by convincing "the other" reunification is "the best for both"....China and Korea know war...did see the destruction it brings...

-[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Israel#Delivery_systems[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Israel#Delivery_systems ;

Israeli military forces possess land, air, and sea-based methods for deploying their nuclear weapons, thus forming a nuclear triad that is mainly medium to long ranged, the backbone of which is submarine-launched cruise missiles and medium and intercontinental ballistic missiles, with Israeli Air Force long range strike aircraft on call to perform nuclear interdiction and strategic strikes.[145] During 2008 the Jericho III ICBM became operational, giving Israel extremely long range nuclear strike abilities.[146][147]

Missiles

Main article: Jericho (missile)

Israel is believed to have nuclear second strike abilities in the form of its submarine fleet and its nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that are understood to be buried deeply enough that they would survive a pre-emptive nuclear strike

DJ....

-NATO so far prevented "regional" intervention to stop the genocide in Palestine

-"Regional countries" with Russian support could "undo" the NATO "shield"

- A main reason for the West Asia crisis-my view- is BRICS now also including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran...

-"BRICS-partners" now forced to find a strategy

-Both "israel/NATO" and BRICS+-partners know an all out war will bring "the end" for the region-even without nuclear war...

A major risk is netanyahu his "belief" Iran is working on nuclear weapons...Iran claims their interpretation of Islam means it can not have nuclear weapons...

The "western goal" for supporting "israel" since 1948 has to do with keeping Middle East oil and gas under western "supervision"...

My view;

-further escalation, an "israel" attack on Lebanon, may result in "massive attacks" (Hezbollah may have 150,000 missiles aimed at "israel targets") destroying most of "israel"..

-The "region" will draw the conclusion "israel" did get NATO all out support for such an attack (at least NATO has to provide the weapons, intel...WITHOUT NATO there would NOT be such an attack !!!)

-For that matter it could be seen as an indirect (other) NATO attack on BRICS...(after Lebanon Iran would be next)

-The "greater israel" idea may span most of West Asia....

In such a scenario "israel" may go for "first use" of nuclear weapons...Even Iran still has not nuclear weapons...Russia, Pakistan are supposed to be "shocked/surprised" -so "israel" in a first strike could destroy a lot of Arab armies....

-Religion "israel as "gods gift" to "the Jews" further complicates matters...Jerusalem is a holy city also for Islam and Christians...

An netanyahu/"israel" first nuclear strike would be a very big mistake. BRICS+ has to see that as an attack on them by NATO....

The US ...biden....seems repeating the wrong steps/messages (today NL-PM mark rutte visiting again his friend netanyahu...no doubt rutte wants to succeed stoltenberg as NATO secretary general...)...There is a very urgent need to STOP netanyahu....but "the west" keeps providing aid...

In a NL court ruling NL has to stop sending F35-parts to "israel"...however the NL "government" claims it are US parts stored in NL...(so the US may store those parts in another country and still send them to "israel")....

The "west" keeps ignoring international laws, agreements etc....only their own made "rules" matter...that has to end badly...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Appeals court orders Netherlands to stop delivering F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel


The Netherlands must stop exporting F-35 parts to Isreal, the court of appeal in The Hague ruled on Monday. “There is a clear risk that Israel’s F-35 fighter jets might be used in the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law,” the court ruled.

Human rights organizations Oxfam Novib, PAX Nederland, and The Rights Forum had taken the Dutch State to court to stop the export. They argued that the Netherlands knows Israel is using the F-35 fighter jets to bomb the Gaza Strip, and the Dutch State is, therefore, violating the laws of war by enabling these attacks on civilian populations.

Previously, the court in The Hague ruled that the deliveries could continue. The court of appeals felt differently.

“Israel does not take sufficient account of the consequences of its attacks for the civilian population. Israel’s attacks on Gaza have resulted in a disproportionate number of civilian casualties, including thousands of children,” the judges wrote. “ The Netherlands is a party to several international regulations which stipulate that if a clear risk of serious violations of international humanitarian law exists, the Netherlands has the obligation to prevent the export of military equipment.” The deliveries must stop within seven days.

Rutte to travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories on Monday


Outgoing prime minister Mark Rutte will once again travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories on Monday to discuss a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The Government Information Service reported that Rutte will speak to his Israeli colleague Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Benny Gantz. Later that day, he will talk to Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh.

totally unacceptable NL political parties keep mostly silent....Is genocide a "new normal" we "have to live with"? 








The "Hamas tunnel under UNRWA" proclaimed by entire Western MSM is a cellar with solar power inverters, underground to be kept cool That is why it is linked to UNRWA with cables coming up through the floor. It is a power source. These green boxes clearly visible in IDF video.

WAR ECONOMY NEXT?: De-Industrialized Germany Is Getting Poorer, Says Finance Minister Lindner

and [url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/nato-chief-shocks-prediction-decades-long-confrontation-russia[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/nato-chief-shocks-prediction-decades-long-confrontation-russia ;

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued some shocking words over the weekend which the Kremlin will likely take as a threat. "NATO is not looking for war with Russia. But we have to prepare ourselves for a confrontation that could last decades," he told German daily Welt am Sonntag on Saturday. His words also reflect a new emphasis and drive among NATO planners for European countries to urgently invest more heavily in defense and domestic weapons production, as is happening for example in Germany and France. 

So far, defense leaders and officials from NATO countries have tended to speak about a time frame of the conflict lasting "years" - but to hear Stoltenberg tell the West it must brace for a war going on for "decades" is somewhat unprecedented. 

"If Putin wins in Ukraine, there is no guarantee that Russian aggression will not spread to other countries," Stoltenberg continued, echoing an assumption that's been a persistent talking point out of Zelensky and his Western backers.

DJ,if the NATO goal is global dominance in the interest of a rich elite the main enemy will be NATO citizens...

Russia has both basic materials and a war industry able to use those basics to make weapons...This is a problem for NATO...

The only way NATO will be able to fight wars for decades is to lower incomes, go for protectionism...maybe NATO should look at Germany 1933-45 for that kind of model....

Protesters "welcomed" scholz starting of a new weapon factory in Germany...

The alternative -of course- is accepting a multi-polar globe...For mostNATO citizens this would NOT bring poverty as long as the extreme rich -finally- have to pay...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel putting the present "israel"-Hamas war in perspective

-"israel" is a small country in West Asia....Its biggest problem is the problem it has with its neighbours....

[url]https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1757243974757359809[/url] or https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1757243974757359809 I do NOT agree with this view...

(DJ-Correction [url]https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1756860286219485575[/url] or https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1756860286219485575 was the link I meant...) 

From a history perspective;

-King Faisal and Roosevelt agreed to a US-Saudi oil alliance (I believe in 1944...)

-To secure oil/gas interests the British may have been willing to accept a "Jewish State" in the Middle East as a western proxy

-Europe did keep ties with "israel" since a lot of the first "settlers" came from Europe...

From that perspective "the west" is asking "israel" to do a job that has become impossible by now...BRICS did gain control over Middle East oil and gas...so what use does "israel" have for the west ?

If netanyahu keeps refusing a "two-state" solution the only realistic alternative will be "one state=Palestine"...Zionist extremists may get that point and want to kill as many Palestinians as possible....

The "west" should stop that...but it is sending weapons, intel....Only increasing the risk of a collapse of "israel"....

Like in Ukraine in "israel" the population will get tired from the wars...a war with Lebanon/hezbollah may bring further destruction...

"israel" may be better of with accepting a de-populized north -for now- than starting yet an even worse war...

SMART DEFENSE

The industry’s leading prime contractors look to Woodward for control and actuation solutions.  

DJ "your unique and world class, takt-time driven products kill thousends"....

It is not only politicians that should stand trial, not only military...also the producers of weapons-making money out of war are responsible for mass murder...

Moments ago,   on the Senate floor: “Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food. In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true, that is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime. And that makes those who orchestrate it war criminals.”

-

For me, this will be one of the defining images of the genocide. Israelis blocking trucks from being loaded with aid for Gaza. Look at their hands outstretched, smiles on their faces, imagining themselves at the forefront of a glorious movement to starve people to death.

-

Also a blatant violation of at least 2 ICJ provisional measures: 

A) The one that orders Israel to "take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to [Gaza]". 

B) The one that orders Israel to "take all measures measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of the [Genocide] Convention, in particular: causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group [or] deliberately inflicting on members of the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part". 

Choosing to let these genocidal extremists prevent aid trucks from getting into Gaza without dislodging them means 
A) that Israel does NOT take the measures it should take to enable the provision of aid and 
B) that it does NOT take all measures measures within its power to prevent acts made for the purpose of harming or killing Gazans (starving them VERY MUCH falls under this).

-

The Biden administration keeps feeding bogus stories to the press about the POTUS saying mean things about Netanyahu in order to placate the left while pouring bombs into Israel that are being used to rip children to shreds in Rafah. This is what Democrat presidencies look like.

-

🇪🇺⚡ Top EU diplomat Josep Borrell openly criticize Joe Biden for sending weapons to Israel while the massacre is still ongoing, he also slammed Netanyahu for the Israeli attacks in Rafah and the orders of evacuation for more than 1 million people.

DJ...[url]https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-heads-toward-final-passage-ukraine-aid-bill-2024-02-13[/url] or https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-heads-toward-final-passage-ukraine-aid-bill-2024-02-13

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The Democratic-led U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed a $95.34 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, although it faced an uncertain path ahead in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved the measure in a 70-29 vote that comfortably exceeded the chamber's 60-vote threshold for passage and sent the legislation on to the House. Twenty-two Republicans joined most Democrats to support the bill.

so the US keeps sending weapons to kill Palestinians...

If #Israel attacks #Rafah#Yemen and #Iraq (to start with) will escalate.

-

🇿🇦🇮🇱 JUST IN: The South African government has reported an urgent appeal to the International Court of Justice in connection with Israel's decision to expand its military operation in Rafah. Concerns over Israel's plans have been expressed in the West, while Russian FM Lavrov stated today that he currently sees no prospects for imminent stabilization, considering the expansion of the operation to Rafah. At the end of January, the ICJ issued an interim decision on South Africa's lawsuit, obliging Israel to take measures to prevent genocide in Gaza.

DJ...the ICJ ruling is ignored by "israel" and its sponsors...Bombing tents -killing dozens of Palestinians as "distraction" is beyond criminal...

Like the war in Ukraine the Gaza-genocide will stop if the west stops sending weapons, intel, special forces...

Creating "deterrence" via mass murder is an act of a psychopath....Will "israel" use its nuclear weapons as "deterrence"? 

The "west"is NOT stopping netanyahu....

Iskander Strike At Selydove | Chasiv Yar Is Collapsing | Military Summary For 2024.02.13

DJ, MS is claiming that Russia did strike the basis of the neo-nazi Azov brigade in Selydove. Zalushny-former head of Ukraine army-joined the party of former Ukraine president Poroshenko. The Azov-brigade was the "armed wing" of that party. It also protected Zalushny against zelenski...

MS-suggestion is zelinsky or sirski may have "leaked info" to the Russians to deal with forces inside Ukraine that wanted to get rid of them...Maybe even was planning a coup...

-----------

Sirski would try to gain popularity by refreshing forces on the frontlines. New forces replace the old ones-that are supposed to support him...

DJ my view;

-Power struggle in the Kiev power elite is ongoing. Zelenski protected now by sirski...Poroshenko/zalushni a duo trying "to offer an alternative"...bodanov on their side ?

-Russian strategy remains limiting Russian losses and trying to increase unrest in Ukraine so support for the war (in and outside Ukraine) collapses...








After accusing Israel of war crimes,  turned around and voted to give Israel another $14 billion to commit more war crimes. Why? Because the bill also includes $61 billion for the Ukraine proxy war. Neocon priorities supersede Palestinian lives:

DJ-in my -far from perfect-view the Ukraine and Palestine war are both NATO-wars against BRICS..."how-to=sell-a-war propaganda" is creating fog on purpose...Both Ukraine and "israel" are NATO proxies only able to fight with lots of NATO help...against BRICS (linked) countries, Russia, Iran...

Since january 1 Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Ethiopia joined BRICS...I do believe the wars in West Asia have everything to do with MENA (Middle East North Africa) moving to BRICS...

[url]https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/02/ukraine-sitrep-a-collapse-is-coming-and-then.html[/url] or https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/02/ukraine-sitrep-a-collapse-is-coming-and-then.html ;

Yves continues her outlook:

But the other reason for being maddeningly slow, aside from getting better data, is that with hyperinflation and a highly-likely baked-in economic collapse in non-Russian controlled Ukraine, is that things may get so bad that having Russia come in and take charge may start looking less bad to many of the locals. Again, the longer Russia hangs back and lets more of Ukraine drift into failed state territory, the more this dynamic has the potential to kick in.

I am not saying any of these are givens. But Russia still needs to move carefully and deliberately if it is to increase its odds of having what is left of Ukraine not merely be neutral as the result of an imposed settlement, but have a very sizeable majority of its citizens be so sick of war and war-related privations that they will be highly resistant to NATO and CIA efforts to turn them back to being its pawns.

Yves's ruminations point to a quite plausible longer term state of the Russian operation.

It will continue to be a very slow walk for Russia which will give the West time to come back to its senses.

This also fits well with the latest RAND paper on the war which urges for early U.S. negotiations with Russia and for finding a long term security agreement to prevent a future deterioration of East-West relations into a larger war.

DJ, A lot of people once had hoped Ukraine would join the EU and become a rich country...Joining NATO made that impossible...

-most of the east and south of Ukraine were added in 1922

-Crimea was added in 1954

-Western Ukraine "joined" Ukraine in 1945

Ukraine itself under the czars was part of Russia

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27 ;

Kievan Rus',[a][b] also known as Kyivan Rus'[c][7][8] was a state and later an amalgam of principalities[9] in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century.[10] The name was coined by Russian historians in the 19th century. Encompassing a variety of polities and peoples, including East SlavicNorse,[11][12] and Finnic, it was ruled by the Rurik dynasty, founded by the Varangian prince Rurik.[13] The modern nations of BelarusRussia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestor,[d] with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it, and the name Kievan Rus' derived from what is now the capital of Ukraine.[12][7] At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, Kievan Rus' stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,[15][16] uniting the East Slavic tribes.[10]

DJ...still, if most of the Ukraine people want their own country it should be respected. The problem is the west manipulated the Ukraine population maybe even more than Russia did...Both the west and Russia show NO respect for Ukrainians...

-----------------------------








From a  story about Israelis blocking aid trucks for Palestinians: Every explosion in Gaza raises a cheer. “Dead, dead, dead Arabs,” one camper shouts at a roaring volley of outgoing fire. Then she notes the presence of a reporter. “Hamas,” she corrects herself.

-








Haaretz has published (in Hebrew, not English) an incomprehensibly vile article in the style of a lifestyle cooking feature, about Israel's soldiers finding and cooking with ingredients in the kitchens of Gazans who had to flee their homes and are now starving.

still western leaders support both genocides, Ukraine was supposed to kill Russians, "Israel" to kill Palestinians...the west providing weapons, intel, special forces for that goal...

Senate $61B to Ukraine to stop Trump in 2024

Authored by Jeffrey D. Sachs via Common Dreams,

President Joe Biden is refusing to fold a losing hand as he bets with Ukrainian lives and US taxpayer money. Biden and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer propose to squander the lives of tens of thousands more Ukrainians and $61 billions of federal funds to keep Biden’s disastrous foreign policy failure hidden from view until after the November election.

The $61 billion will make no difference on the battlefield except to prolong the war, the tens of thousands of deaths, and the physical destruction of Ukraine. It will not "save" Ukraine. Ukraine’s security can only be achieved at the negotiating table, not by some fantasized military triumph over Russia.

DJ.biden and his gang think pushing billions more into the Ukraine war-swamp may result in utcher-biden winning the november election in the US....sick !

As also The Duran, MS mention...there is already infighting in Kiev...sirsky sending troops supporting zalushny/poroshenko from Kiev to the frontlines/death...Troops from the frontline now cane take a break as long as they support sirski/zelensky...

The EU may try to get more money-80% of the weapons have to come from the US...and by now most of that ends up in "israel"...;

There are several messages behind Hizbullah's qualitatively different strike on Safed this morning, which Israel is treating as the gravest attack since the start of the war, with Ben Gvir calling it a "declaration of war". 

At the forefront, is Hizbullah's message that it won't capitulate to Israeli and western demands that it cease hostilities across the border, as per Nasrallah's speech yesterday. It's also a response to several Israeli assassination strikes in South Lebanon, reaching as deep as Sidon. 

But the timing of this escalation also appears to be related to Netanyahu's scuppering of the Paris cease-fire proposal and his government's threats to invade Rafah, which in turn, would make a full-out attack on Lebanon more likely. 

Hizbullah is giving Israel a taster of the type of strikes and casualty tolls its military will have to bear, should Netanyahu continue to reject a cease-fire.

DJ, Hizbullah/Hezbollah is "ready" for an "israel" invasion....

Feb. 13 Summary of Red Sea activities On Feb. 13, at approximately 2:35 p.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces successfully conducted a self-defense strike against one mobile anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM), in Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen, that was prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea. Separately, at approximately 9:20 p.m.(Sanaa time), one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) was launched from Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen into the Gulf of Aden.  U.S. Navy ships tracked the missile but took no action because the missile was not projected to impact near any ships. There were no reports of injuries or damage from ships in the area. U.S. forces will continue to take actions that protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. navy and merchant vessels.

DJ...NATO bombing of Yemen was supposed to stop Houthi attacks on western shipping...

My view;

-Ukraine is very close to collapse, running out of weapons, soldiers, support...Population by now is getting fed up with more war to get biden reelected...

-Yemen/Houthis may get more regional support...not only from Iran [url]https://english.news.cn/20240212/ae486f92d4024230acb7873e918577d7/c.html[/url] or https://english.news.cn/20240212/ae486f92d4024230acb7873e918577d7/c.html ;

ADEN, Yemen, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Yemeni government announced Sunday that Saudi Arabia has deposited 250 million U.S. dollars into the Central Bank of Yemen to help support the country's state budget. This is the second installment of a 1.2-billion-dollar Saudi aid package announced in August 2023, the official Saudi Press Agency confirmed.

-Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt are NOT moving away from BRICS....the western phantasy of breaking up BRICS -again- is not realistic..

-netanyahu needs wars to stay in power/out of prison...however he may have reached the limits of what level of war he can fight without sinking into a major war...

-Both Ukraine ans "israel" are destroyed....with the "west" no longer able for enough reconstruction in the short term...

DJ-NATO "politicians" still show themselves to be out of contact with reality...They seem to think there are western armies strong enough to escalate wars...Reality seems to be western military is already overstretched and exhausted...

Again...the danger is the "west" falling back to "extra-proportional means" in conflicts...A western intervention in Africa could maybe even see a risk of nuclear weapons because non-nuclear options -in reality- may be much less than "politicians" want to know...

Europe...UK, even US may have "limits" for (importing) basic materials for their own weapon production...Building weapons is often energy consuming, high tech jobs...The west has only limited energy, very limited people with the knowledge to make modern weapons...

Sending old Leopard-1 tanks to Ukraine did mean old -retired- military had to be asked if they knew how to make the over 50 years old tanks to function...Ukraine did see a lot of western "help" in garbage-weapons that did NOT work on the frontlines...resulting in Ukraine soldiers getting killed...

Europe did send F16's to Romania to train Ukraine pilots...but a lot of those pilots first had to learn English...

I shared w/  my view that there will be no further escalation in #Lebanon, regardless of the current exchange of bombs, because while  wants a long war, he can't afford a million internally displaced Israelis if he expands the war north of Litani (vs. Haifa).

and

#Israel has moved 10s of 1000s of troops to the Lebanese border out of fear of a #Hezbollah breakthrough, not to launch n invasion f #Lebanon. For any invasion it needs ammunition, money, to cripple its economy, to count on the closure of the Mediterranean & over 1 million IDR.

DJ IDR=Internal Displaced Refugees....most of the "israel" workforce may now be in the military...so the economy is close to collapse...Tourism is as good as gone, lots of "israelis" try to get out/stay out of "israel"...

My view; netanyahu is responsible for the worst crisis in "israel"history...Refusal to talk abou a two-state solution may bring a "one-state-solution" closer...that one state will be Palestine...

Relations with Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia are very close to breaking point...If "israel" wants to survive it has to drastically change its policies...








A CHILD WAS BLOWN UP TRYING TO OPEN A CAN OF TUNA TODAY When Israeli soldiers withdrew from Gaza they left these explosives, disguised as food tins, and whenever somebody tries to open one they get blown up.

DJ...very likely a lot of "israeli citizens" will be shocked about the events done in their name...It will be a matter of time before "israelis" stand up against netanyahu and his criminal government destroying the country...

-----------------

DJ-western "leaders" may be avoided by the rest of the world...The "west" offers wars and genocide...

BRICS+ only is getting more attractive for "the rest"...resulting im more countries dumping dollars, pounds, euro's....

The western economy is moving more-and-more towards collapse-with companies seeking BRICS+ countries as a new basis...When will "Volkswagen" be 100% Chinese ? Will Boeing join hands with Russian/Brazilian aircraft builders ? HuaWei take over Google/Meta ? Elon Musk become a non US citizen ?

The Biden admin won’t punish Israel for a Rafah military operation that doesn't protect civilians. Three U.S. officials told us no reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could harm civilians in the city with no American consequences.

=

Israel is applying its Gaza doctrine to South Lebanon today, with  several children killed and casualties pulled out from under the rubble, several of whom were displaced from frontline villages. Today’s strikes coupled with preparations for ethnic cleansing in Rafah, which Egypt is complicit in, leaves no doubt that we are heading towards a tipping point in the conflict. Aside from the need to restore deterrence, there is now popular pressure on Hizbullah to retaliate and that’s not even factoring in how the Resistance Axis will respond to ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

🇷🇺  ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¦ The Role of the US Air Force RQ-4B Drone in Attacks on the Black Sea Fleet The destructive activities of American and NATO intelligence in the Black Sea have been extensively discussed. This was confirmed again on both Saturday and today.


🔻On the night from Friday to Saturday, from February 9 to 10, the Project 22160 patrol ship was attacked by BeK while escorting a Russian tanker from the Bosphorus Strait. 
▪︠Seven unmanned boats attempted to hit the ship's side, but the crew noticed the drones and fired at them. As a result, one USV was destroyed, and the rest retreated towards the Odessa region. 
▪︠The US Air Force RQ-4B UAV observed this entire incident. It had been patrolling south of the coast of Crimea since the morning of February 9 and was directly above the Russian ship at the time of the attack. 
🔻The same thing happened today. A US Air Force drone entered the Black Sea at 12 o'clock yesterday and began patrolling 70 km from the southern coast of Crimea. 


▪︠In the afternoon, the Russian BDK left Sevastopol and headed to the holding area south of Yalta, where it parked under close observation by the UAV. 


▪︠And at 6:16, seven Ukrainian Backs attacked (https://t.me/rybar/57123) the Caesar Kunikov. Two drones were destroyed by machine gun fire, and four unfortunately hit the ship. 
▪︠The crew of the rescue tug shot down the seventh drone in the area where the landing ship was located. Russian helicopters were already circling in the air, and the crew was being evacuated from the landing craft. â—ï¸Throughout this time, the RQ-4B was slightly to the south, observing and directing BeKs, as correctly noted by the Russian engineer (https://t.me/rusengineer/2822). After the rescue operation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet ended at 09:30, the drone flew away from the Black Sea, concluding its participation in the attack on the BDK. And this is just one of the episodes during the SMO. 

What should we conclude? 
We believe that everything is clear and does not require further explanation. 
Everyone understands perfectly well what NATO intelligence officers are doing off our coasts, but for some reason, they are not being resisted. Periodic exposure to electronic warfare does not produce the desired effect, nor do the measures (https://t.me/rybar/57097) taken to combat BeKs. At the same time, there are practical options for dealing with this - the RQ-4B stands out on any radar like a New Year's star. While no one may want to fall for an obvious provocation, the proven method of "dumping fuel" has not been ruled out. However, planes and drones continue to fly with remarkable regularity. We can only speculate as to why this is the case. Perhaps the Americans have forbidden shooting or taking action, and we have complied.

An Ultimatum Was Given To The Ukrainians | Mariupol 2.0. Military Summary For 2024.02.14

DJ from minute 22 MS makes 2 claims;

-[url]https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240214-france-and-ukraine-to-sign-security-agreement-soon-says-french-fm-sejourne[/url] or https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240214-france-and-ukraine-to-sign-security-agreement-soon-says-french-fm-sejourne ;

French President Emmanuel Macron was expected to finalise a security deal in Ukraine this month, but he postponed the trip for security reasons.

...budanov wanted to get Macron killed in Kiev-blame Russia for it. French intel found out so Macron did not go

-The US did sink a fouth Russian ship in the Black Sea. The "Cesar Kunikow" named after a soldier who died on february 14 1943 fighting nazi-germany...So 81 years later NATO sinks a ship named after a soldier fighting nazi's....

Of course the sea-drones were launched from the Odessa-region...so "it was an Ukraine attack" coordinated by a US drone over the Black Sea...

DJ;

-If western leaders run a risk of getting killed by Ukraine secret service-to blame Russia those western leaders are even less likely to further visit Kiev/Ukraine

-US drones may become a target for Russia-even above international waters of the Black Sea...

Nasrallah rejected western demands, passed through the Lebanese government, to pull back Hizbullah's forces and to cease fire:

It is Hezbollah duty and responsibility to deter the enemy and prevent the assault on Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed, adding that the Resistance responses will be proportionate, yet effective and productive.

Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that the hundreds of thousands of settlers already displaced from the North will not be able to return to their homes in case of escalation.

‘Israel’ must prepare shelters, basements, hotels and schools to house 2 million settlers who will be displaced from northern Palestine if it expands the war zone, Sayyed Nasrallah warned.

If the Israeli enemy expands its war zone against Lebanon, Hezbollah will do too, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized.
...
“It is easier to move Litani River forward to the borders than pushing back Hezbollah fighters from the borders to the Litani River,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

More will be announced later:

Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that ‘Israel’ has failed over 130 days to achieve any target in Gaza war, except the monstrous attacks on the civilians.

Concerning the Zionist war on Gaza, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that he will address more details about during a speech he is scheduled to deliver on Friday (February 16) the anniversary of Hezbollah Martyr Commanders.

Rarely mentioned in western news is the extend of Hizbullah's activities against the military of the Zionist entity:

Al-Manar correspondent:

The resistance in Southern Lebanon, has so far attacked:

  • HQ of the Northern Region Command in Safad.
  • Command HQ of the 91st Galilee Division in “Branit”
  • HQ of the 769th Eastern Brigade in Kiryat Shmona.
  • Meron Air command and control base
  • Beit Hillel IOF base
  • Training camp in Kela, in the occupied Golan Heights
  • Ma’ale Golan IOF base on Mount Hermon
  • Most artillery positions along the rear front and military concentrations
  • Every single border military IOF sites

All of these attacks carried out by the resistance confirm that all military and fire pressure and Israeli threats will not deter it from continuing its operations. The resistance is proceeding with full confidence, first relaying on God, and then its military capabilities, the spirit of its fighters, and the resilience of its people.

The Safad headquarter site was only hit this morning. This followed after more Israeli attacks had hit civilian structures in southern Lebanon.

DJ, BRICS+ did show restraint so far...hoping to avoid escalation/giving diplomacy a chance...however;

The wars are NOT  "only" a conflict over power between 10% of worldpopulation=NATO against "the rest" of the world...It may also be seen as an outcome of the US fight between biden and trump..."butcher biden" seems to be willing to start World War Three to avoid trump becoming president again...

-----------

🇿🇦🇵🇸 Israel says South Africa serving Hamas in latest bid to World Court South Africa's latest request to the World Court against a possible offensive by Israel in southern Gaza serves Hamas and is an attempt to stop Israel from defending itself, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. 

South Africa on Tuesday asked The ICJ to consider whether Israel's plan to extend its offensive in Gaza into the city of Rafah requires additional emergency measures to protect Palestinians. 

"South Africa continues to represent the interests of the Hamas terrorist organization and is trying to deny Israel the fundamental right to defend itself and its citizens," said Israel Foreign Ministry spokesperson. 

"Israel is committed to upholding international law, including facilitating the transfer of humanitarian aid and preventing harm to innocents, while the Hamas terrorists are hiding behind the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and are holding 134 people hostage," he added.

DJ, western countries now seeking ways to punish South Africa for going to the ICJ....

Again...both Ukraine and "israel" only are able to fight the wars they are in because of full NATO support. The "west" is fighting Russia and Iran...but trying to avoid a major open war...

Since it looks like "western leaders" are out of touch with reality maybe BRICS+ could decide to openly state they are now at war with NATO. The NATO goal is to save the US$ and western exploitation of the world...keeping the rest of the world poor...fighting for the interests of the 0,1% rich elite...

In that perspective it is NOT only a NATO-BRICS war it will become -more and more- a war of the 0,1% against the rest of the population...Democracy sinking more and more into democrazy where every US$ count...not every vote...

Putin Ally's Military Shoots Down Israeli Missiles, Drones | IDF's Syria Strike 'Fails'

The Syrian military thwarted Israel's aerial assault near the capital Damascus on February 9 amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. SANA reported, quoting a Syrian military official, that Israel fired missiles from the direction of illegally occupied Golan Heights, but Syrian air defence units shot down most of the missiles. The strike came a few hours after the Syrian Army's air defence units shot down two Israeli drones. Watch this video to know why Syria is on the Israeli military's target list.

Saudi Arabia public rebuke of Biden White House

DJ, Saudi Arabia close to saying the US/biden is lying about Saudi-Israel getting closer relations...Saudi relations with the US have never been this bad...

My-DJ-view; The US keeps trying to pull the Saudi's out of the BRICS-block...back in 1944/45 an US-Saudi deal laid the basis for global energy trade in US$...[url]https://www.history.com/news/fdr-saudi-arabia-king-oil[/url] or https://www.history.com/news/fdr-saudi-arabia-king-oil ;

A secret war-time meeting. Fear of an oil shortage. An exchange of gifts (including a wheelchair) and a budding friendship. When Franklin D. Roosevelt met with Abdul Aziz ibn Saud on February 14, 1945 aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Suez Canal, it was the first time a U.S. president had ever met with a Saudi Arabian king, and the encounter laid a foundation for U.S.-Saudi relations that would continue for generations—and ensure U.S. access to Saudi oil reserves.

So KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-named after the Saud royal family) no longer doing all trade in US$ is a major history turning point...In 2018 KSA invited Russian Railways [url]https://tass.com/economy/1027762[/url] or https://tass.com/economy/1027762 ;

"Russian Railways will apply for the construction of a railway from Saudi Arabia. We believe that Russian Railways has one of the best competencies in the world in construction of railways. For example, now in India, Russian Railways will be one of the country's main partners in the construction of railways. Therefore, the infrastructure project on the basis of Russian Railways, and I am a member of the Board of Directors of Russian Railways, and we discussed it with the company’s CEO Oleg Belozerov, is a great priority for us [in Saudi Arabia]," he said.

so the "break" should not come as a shock...The (slow) US reaction (with trump visiting KSA but also going for closer ties with "israel") in fact only worsened US-Saudi relations...

The US -(was it under trump or Obama)- became the #1 oil producer via fracking...however US energy consumption is that extreme the US still needs to import a lot of its energy needs (a.o. uranium from Russia !).

Worsening US-Saudi relations mean worsening US relations with countries like Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait...Somehow the "west" missed Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypr were going to join BRICS...The west keeps downplaying BRICS...(there are stupid EU-propaganda films on YouTube-simply missing the point BRICS dumping western currencies...)

Again...BRICS+ "loves to avoid" a major war with NATO but it has to come from both sides...NATO is still trying -aggressively-to stick to a uni-polar, western/US dominated world that in fact already is history...

DJ-A very major problem is "western leaders" still overestimate their own military power, keep underestimating military power of countries they make their enemies...Very likely some "western leaders" still think they can "sanction the rest of the world" into obedience to "western made rules" (even with those-ever changing-rules going against international law). 

The "west" underestimated Russia when they pushed Ukraine towards NATO...and western leaders simply do not get it....still...

There will be attempts to end the Gaza-genocide via the UN...again-the west will sabotage it....

Economic warfare -dedollarization, energy under 50%+  BRICS control may not do what is needed...

NATO will keep escalating until it is stopped...simply because NATO leaders think they can....

[url]https://www.usdebtclock.org/[/url] or https://www.usdebtclock.org/ US debt will reach 34,232 billion in march...what a waste-on-wars !

The US Government Hid This About The Vietnam War (Warning* Mature Audiences Only)

From 1965 to 1973, the United States waged a grueling war against the Communist forces of North Vietnam. The conflict was a brutal guerrilla war where young American soldiers were sent far from home to fight an enemy that fought unlike anything the US military had seen before. The Vietnam War remains controversial to this day. Some argue it was a justified defense of South Vietnam against Northern Communist aggression, while others argue it was an unjustified war of US imperialism driven by Cold War anti-communist hysteria. What all can agree upon is that the war resulted in the deaths of millions of people, a large portion of them civilians killed by the United States.

-

One target of this counter-offensive was Quang Ngai province, specifically the village of Son My. Son My was made up of several smaller hamlets including My Lai. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll stick to the more famous name for the whole village. My Lai, nicknamed Pinkville by the Americans because of its Communist sympathies, was believed to be a hotspot for Viet Cong (VC). US Intelligence claimed that the VC was active in the area and the village was essentially a Communist outpost.

Colin Powel-at that time in Vietnam- did cover up the mass murder...

This Genocide Was Too Evil To Comprehend (Warning* Mature Audiences Only)

From 1885-1961, Rwanda was a possession of two European countries, Germany, from 1885-1919, and Belgium, from 1919 to 1961. 

The same held true in neighboring Burundi, which was also populated by Hutu and Tutsi peoples. During this period, European ideas about ethnicity and racial superiority permeated much of Africa. 

To many Europeans, there was no doubt, white Europeans were superior to black Africans. BUT, people are people, no matter what their color, and it doesn't take much for one group of people to hate another, even if they look very similar to each other. 

There is a long complicated history of tribal relations and tribal warfare in Rwanda, and the area around it. To the north, Uganda has had issues between different ethnic groups, and to the south, in Burundi, ethnic tensions got so high in 1972 and 1993 that hundreds of thousands of people were killed. 

In Burundi and Rwanda, the two dominant ethnic groups are the Hutu and the Tutsi. Caught between them in Rwanda are the Twa, a pygmy tribe who likely are the areas indigenous people. 

DJ Sometimes a genocide needs generations of preparation, other mass murders occur almost "at the moment"...In Vietnam "more dead bodies" meant a bigger victory...more Viet Cong fighters killed-even if those killed were children, old men, women...(the beep in the video will mention rape..censored away..)

So weird how the US can’t get food into Gaza but can keep the bombs going

Really Shame for #Egypt to provide   what he wants:  said construction work currently underway in eastern #Sinai is to create a security zone with the border with the #Gaza Strip, to receive refugees when #Israel pushes for a mass exodus of Palestinians.

I do not know what is worse, Palestinians ending up in an Egypt border camp or "israel/"NATO-mass murder...

DJ, The global society is facing unseen major jobs;

-Climate collapse canNOT wait ! It needs serious steps NOW !!!

-Public health worldwide is in a crisis, from CoViD to measles...

-Both the above problems are interlinked...food/water is becoming a major problem soon..

-Inequality is even now still growing; a rich elite manages to get more rich-the poor end up in even deeper poverty...

-Refugees are an OUTCOME of not solving the other problems...

So....

Russia is allegedly fighting with shovels and stealing washing machines to harvest computer chips for its collapsing army, and at the same time they can invade all of Europe and are now accused of building an all-powerful space weapon - Simultaneously being hopelessly backward and an overwhelming threat to civilisation is a common feature of propaganda to demonise an adversary - Viktor Klemperer, a Jewish writer living in Nazi Germany, noted that Hitler’s propaganda against the Jews was defined by two distinct styles of language – either “scornful derision” of the inferior race or “panic-stricken fear” of their threat to civilisation

Politicians not fit for the job are promoting hysteria in a form we did see 90 years ago..."the Russians are coming"..."Muslims are terrorists", "Chinese spread virusses"...

"The poor are poor because they are lazy"....so it is okay to kill them all....







Square profile picture

More than half of Americans say health care is unaffordable.   4 in 10 adults currently have debt due to medical bills.   How do we fix this broken system?

-

What some people don't realize is both the Governments of Iraq and Syria are effectively kicking us out of their countries. If we don't get those troops out they will be under serious threat. Universal agreement from Arab nations to attack us is building.. Wake up!

DJ...of course the two problems are linked...For a growing number of people in the "wealthy west"  healthcare costs are a problem...because governments waste money on a war-promoting-war industry...

It is a "broken system" because only money seems to matter...A form of blindness...

Shocking footage shows unimaginable destruction inðŸ“#Gaza city, including our health centre. +70% of civilian infrastructure- including homes, hospitals & schools- have been destroyed or severely damaged. 84% of health facilities have been affected by attacks. Nowhere is safe.

Well, the "west" is taking actions...defund the UNRWA based on unproven smear by "israel"....

âš¡ï¸Americans have no intel in Yemen, they just bomb whatever their drones pick up. Also, Yemenis plant decoy missiles everywhere for the coalition to waste its ammunitions on and to confuse it.

In one of the so-called “self-defense” operations the US & UK targeted a Yemeni farmer’s car that was carrying plastic pipes. This is their “achievement”  from their failed military operation.

NATO very succesfull in blowing up rubber missiles...A US/NATO cruise missile may cost up to 4 million US$...the rubber Houthi decoy goes for a 100 US$ ? 

It sure is a crazy coincidence how every single step of Israel's "response to October 7" has looked exactly the same as it would look if Israel was just carrying out agendas it's wanted to carry out for decades.

Egypt Building Walled Camp in Sinai Desert to Absorb Palestinian Refugees from Gaza Israel will likely try to push Palestinians from Rafah into the camp

link [url]https://news.antiwar.com/2024/02/15/egypt-building-walled-camp-in-sinai-desert-to-take-palestinian-refugees-from-gaza/[/url] or https://news.antiwar.com/2024/02/15/egypt-building-walled-camp-in-sinai-desert-to-take-palestinian-refugees-from-gaza/ 

Egypt is building an 8-square-mile walled enclosure in the Sinai Desert near Gaza to prepare for an influx of Palestinian refugees as Israel is vowing to launch an assault on Rafah, which borders Egypt and is packed with about 1.5 million Palestinians.

The revelation of Egypt’s construction, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal and an Egyptian rights group, signals Cairo is caving to Israeli pressure to allow Palestinians to enter its territory.

Egyptian officials told the Journal that more than 100,000 people would be able to fit into the camps they are constructing. If a mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza does happen, the Egyptian officials said they want to limit the number of refugees they allow in to between 50,000 and 60,000.

DJ...one consideration for "non-intervention" may be intervention could make matters even worse...

The main problem however is NATO is supporting genocide in Ukraine and Palestine...protecting the criminal fascists....(again...).

Today the Kiev regime deliberately attacked Belgorod with a multiple rocket launcher system, firing at maximum range, with maximum dispersion of shells, indiscriminately and knowingly. 

They consciously and deliberately kill innocent people. 

They target them - there is no question of them targeting anything else but residential areas. 

They DELIBERATELY kill children.

Attempts To Escape From The Encirclement Turned Out To Be A Disaster. Military Summary For 2024.2.16

A comment; 

The Azov-battalion, which was transferred to Avdiivka, is whining that they ended up in hell. The Azov- battalion released a video with the description: “Avdiivka, Coke plant". 60 aerial bombs 24/7 day and night, Russian shelling from artillery and MLRS. Continuous assaults on armored vehicles and Russian infantry assaults. They use phosphorus shells, which cause fuel tanks to catch fire. Toxic smog spreads throughout the plant. Today this is the new “home” of the Third Assault Brigade. Doesn’t that remind you of anything?

DJ, My view-very likely thousends of Ukraine military stuck in Avdiivka...the "Azov"-neo nazi's pulled back from Avdiivka because the position was impossible...

MS mentioned Russian forces may push west-use the oppertunity...DJ-Russia also has lots of troops in the north and south-could use the moment to collapse the NATO-proxy Ukraine forces...

No doubt in Kiev "political chaos" will escalate...

----------

The funny thing in this graph is the "colony" column: who was governing them and why did they have famine? ðŸ¤”  For instance it's extremely well documented that one of the worst famines of the 20th century - India's Bengal famine of 1943 - occurred because Churchill prioritized the use of Indian resources for the war effort (most notably its rice production: https://theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/29/winston-churchill-policies-contributed-to-1943-bengal-famine-study). So whilst Brits were eating Indian rice, Indians themselves weren't... This should more correctly be entitled "imperialists don't have famines"...

DJ...Ukraine is sinking into chaos...this may increase risks of (some) western countries moving in to protect (their) citizens...Poland, Hungary, Romania also may use the oppertunity...Maybe even after making secret deals with Russia...

-----------------

Putting things further in a historical perspective; 

NL (and Belgium, Luxemburg) were part of France from 1810 till 1813...Napoleon visited the "new part of the empire"...Imperial roads-to Paris- were planned (and a few parts even build)...In 1940 the Germans occupied NL...the German "kaiser" in 1900 claimed "The Dutch are German only they do not know it..."...so nazi-Germany had plans to -after Austria- also make NL part of a "greater Germany"...The biggest problem may have been NL fascists wanted a NL-XL including Flanders/Belgium ...next to Germany...

Kyiv - The Tragic History of Ukraine's Capital

Kyiv has a long and turbulent history. From the Mongols to the Nazis, Kyiv has witnessed many occupiers, and been the scene of many massive battles.

DJ..."nationalism" is of all ages...The Poles joined Napoleon in his invasion of Russia in the hope of getting a "Poland"...only to see it divided between Germany/Prussia and Russia till after World War One...Ukraine has its own history of "nationalism" ....

An "urge" or "need" to organize one owns culture in a country is a.o. also in Kurdish groups, Palestinians...One can "understand" a "wish" for a "Jewish State"...the problem is at what costs...After 1945 Finland could stay independent but had to stay neutral-a peace agreement with the Soviet Union may still have some legal basis today....

A "neutral" Ukraine could play a role between Europe and Asia...NATO (and linked to it EU) expansionism did push Ukraine into disaster...

This is the United Nations describing "Israel's system of apartheid" as a simple matter of fact. A fact which the media has been systematically and knowingly hiding from the people in western states for decades. And which the western political classes have lied about relentlessly.

DJ...a "Jewish State" should NOT be based on apartheid-making "non-Jews" second class citizens...The claim "israel" as a Jewish State "has to be in this part of West Asia" (near Jerusalem-Zion-hill) should also be "open for discussion"...Jerusalem is a Holy City in three religions...

To connect the Ukraine and "israel" story; anti-semitism in part was based on Jews being used by kings as tax collectors...Jews were not allowed to have land in most European countries (till the rise of Napoleon...???) . So anti-semitism in the 19th century and before in part was "killing the tax collectors"...But also a "religious apartheid" ...Catholic, Protestants, Orthodox Christians all did their anti-Jew campains...("Jews killed Jesus" -[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_and_Abel[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_and_Abel the Dutch Reformed Church claimed Cain killed Abel and Cain was black...so apartheid in a.o. South Africa had a religious base...Non-christians "had no soul" therefor they "were animals" as a base for slavery...). 

There is NO excuse for (war)crimes...however "nationalism" is complex...

----------

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen%27s_arrest[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen%27s_arrest ;

citizen's arrest is an arrest made by a private citizen – that is, a person who is not acting as a sworn law-enforcement official.[1] In common law jurisdictions, the practice dates back to medieval England and the English common law, in which sheriffs encouraged ordinary citizens to help apprehend law breakers.[2]

DJ Can western leaders be arrested by citizens ? Legal advice may give hints on that...Of course it is very unwise to act "just like that" -on the other hand western "leaders" keep getting away with war crimes...

16 Feb 2024

Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has died in prison, state media reports, citing the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving  a 19-year sentence.

“Navalny felt bad after a walk, almost immediately losing consciousness,” the statement said. “Medical staff arrived immediately and an ambulance team was called. Resuscitation measures were carried out which did not yield positive results. Paramedics confirmed the death of the convict. The causes of death are being established.”

Navalny was in the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp, about 1,900km (1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow.

The “special regime” or “Polar Wolf” colony is among the harshest in Russia’s prison system, located in a place with severe winters. Most inmates have been convicted of grave crimes. Kharp is about 100km (60 miles) from Vorkuta, whose coalmines were part of the Soviet gulag camp system.

More to come…

Welcome to the Munich Security Conference

February 16-18, 2024

DJ...no doubt NATO will "push for democrazy" in Russia-liberating oil and gas...

Circumstances

- Navalny died in penal colony No. 3 in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region.

- According to the FSIN, after the walk he "felt unwell, almost immediately passing out." Medics arrived right away and attempted to resuscitate him, but failed.


- The causes of the blogger's death are still being established. Navalny had no health complaints and there were no medical requests made by his relatives before the incident, the Yamal Public Supervisory Commission said.

Authorities' reaction

- Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently in Chelyabinsk, was informed about the incident from Moscow by Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

- The FSIN is doing its due diligence, and no additional instructions are needed regarding the incident, the Kremlin spokesman clarified. "There is a certain set of rules, which everyone is now being guided by," he explained.

- The Russian Investigative Committee is conducting an investigation into Navalny's death.

What Navalny was serving a sentence for

- Navalny was twice sentenced to probation on charges of fraud for his work with the company Yves Rocher. After repeatedly violating the terms of his probation, in 2021, the blogger's suspended sentence was replaced with real jail time.

- In March 2022, Navalny was found guilty of contempt of court and fraud in raising election campaign funds and sentenced to imprisonment in a strict regime colony. In August 2023, the court found the blogger guilty of creating an extremist community.

-

🇷🇺 Alexey Navalny died in a correctional colony. The Federal Penitentiary Service of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region reported this. According to sources, the reason is a blood clot broke loose.

Funny how Blinken is more concerned about a Russian dying in a Russian prison, than an American dying in a Ukrainian prison.

-









Never forget Navalny wanted to strip Chechens, Dargins, and all other nations in the Caucasus of their Russian citizenship and compared them to cockroaches and flies. He was a literal fascist and the shitlibs are crying for him. Scratch a liberal....







Every western leader from Blinken to👇ðŸ¼is crying this morning about Alexis Navalny dying in a Russian Prison. BUT WHEN: ðŸ”¹GONZALO LIRA (an🇺🇸) died inPrison for reportingcorruption-NO COMMENT ðŸ”¹JULIAN ASSANGE is rotting in UK Prison for reporting Western corruption-NO COMMENT

DJ, My view-very likely at least part of his prison sentence may have been political-Navalny was the west favorite puppet...maybe he himself did not realize he was being used...

Avdeyevka is collapsing, Zelensky travels to Germany

DJ, in short;

-zelensky now in Berlin...may go to Munich (may not return to Ukraine...)

-West of Avdeyevka/Avdiivka there are hardly any Ukraine defense lines...

-biden and hus club of war criminals will blame republicans...if only another 61 billion...

-However Ukraine needs shells in the number NATO simply can not produce (Ukraine would use 1 month production in 5 days)

DJ...so western media will claim navalny was very popular in Russia-[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_2GuqJ4LM[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_2GuqJ4LM The Duran ; 

Alexey Navalny dies in prison

navalny may have had the support of 1 a 2% of the Russian population...He was a xenophobe nationalist-anti muslim....kicked out of the liberal party...

The main opposition in Russia are the "old communists" (CPSU) with a limited role of "liberals" most in Moscow...








What an amazing coincidence that Navalny's wife happened to be attending the Munich Security Conference this weekend, giving her a world stage just at the right moment... Wow!








And of course the "west" seems to be pushing for "war on terror-2" in the Middle East...

Sayyed Nasrallah: The Israeli goal was to displace Palestinians from occupied Palestine, relocating the people of the West Bank to Jordan, those of Gaza to Egypt, and those of the 1980s to Lebanon
Operation Al-Aqsa Flood exposed this long-standing Israeli objective of establishing a purely Jewish state extending from the sea to the river
The project of establishing a purely Jewish state not only targets Palestinians but also poses a threat to Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon
In memory of our martyred leaders, we reaffirm the efficacy of popular resistance as a viable option

The speech also emphasized the U.S. responsibility for whatever Israel does with the money and weapons the U.S. delivers to it.

It also included remarks designed to calm the political scene within Lebanon.

The take from the speech is that the conflict is far from over and that all elements point to a further escalation of the simmering war.

DJ..."israel" is preparing its population for major war...

Never forget that Navalny was a CIA tool and fascist who had a LOT of enemies in Russia. His polling support never went above 2 percent. Putin extrajudicially murdering someone already in prison just to hand his enemies red meat propaganda is ludacris on its face.


DJ, developments could go very fast...panic in the US elite, NATO, EU....

INTEL Roundtable w/ John & McGovern: Intel Wrap Up

DJ...UK-intel spying on US citizens on request of other US (political) citizens...Western "intel" making up "risks" -for political/financial goals....

The global chaos -my view- is the outcome of US "political chaos"....clinton, bush, trump, biden etc pulling the world into a "political fight"....

Both trump (77) and biden (81) -simply to old for the POTUS-job...I was looking/google to see when trump had legal problems here in NL-raising 20 million from investors here to go broke...Both biden (& sons) and trump (& sons) are criminals...fighting over the "most powerfull country" in the world-leader of the west....

It will influence "western politics" selecting more frauds, psychopaths (bojo, rutte, macron, schultz) and other "types" ...If you would not trust an adult with your small child...why would you trust that person to ruin your country ???

The coming days may give perspectives on how that -unexpected by the west- collapse will develop...Some claim "Ukraine soldiers may change sides-join the Russian army and move to Kiev for a coup"....

The "west" did believe pumping tens-of-billions into Ukraine was buying time (also increasing debts...undermining the west)....well that did not work out...

The defeat in Ukraine is a much larger disaster than the defeat in Afghanistan...The "west" still trying to claim "Iraq was a sort of success"...(beating IS they also created ???)

DJ-The Ukraine army did have a shortage of fighters, weapons...very likely thousends of Ukraine soldiers will become POW...Is it 2% or 5% of the Ukraine soldiers ? How much weapons were lost ? MS in a video showed a Leopard-2 tank "dumped" by its Ukraine driver because Russia would "kill" Leopard-2 tanks within an hour...

The west itself did send so much of its weapons into the Ukraine swamp it is hardly able to defend itself...

And now "israel" is planning to escalate....

DJ-The US did transfer 500,000 155mm shells from South Korea (resulting in worsening South Korea-Russia relations...) to Ukraine...The US production of 155 mm shells is under 40,000 per month...Ukraine needed at least 6,000 per day...

A lot of basic materials for weapons need to be imported...so "increasing defense spending" may not even cover the costs of prizes going up for basics...If a modern tank in 2020 would cost 5 million -building the same kind of tank in 2024 may cost more than twice that money...So increasing "defense spending" by 10-20% still results in less weapons...

And of course we are NOT in this global chaos because of shortage of weapons...but shortage of diplomats...

Still "the west" is pushing up prices for weapons by spending more on weapons in a sort of hysteria because "the Russians are coming"...ignoring it is NATO moving east that was and is the problem....The "west" over and over "make agreements to break agreements"...Minsk1, Minsk2, Iran-deal, NATO not 1 inch east, even the Soviet-Finland peace agreement has no value for this "west" making its own rules...

So...netanyahu and his gang may plan more murders...the west is running out of means to support that "self defense" -killing Palestinians, invading/bombing nearby countries....

I really could not have a lower opinion of people who would rather talk about Alexei Navalny being persecuted in a far away country that has nothing to do with them than Julian Assange being persecuted at the hands of their own government. 
It's the most pathetic, bootlicking behavior imaginable. Ooh yeah you're so brave self-righteously shaking your fist at some country on the other side of the planet which has zero power over your own country while refusing to oppose the power structure you actually live under for slowly killing a journalist for exposing its war crimes. 
Groveling, power-worshipping bootlicker. Absolutely sickening.


DJ..the west is the problem...Putin "loves biden" because biden and his "club" is destroying the west themselves...It is time the EU start talking with BRICS on making deals !

The world has many urgent problems, healthcare, climate, food&water, housing, education..."we" are wasting TRILLIONS on weapons and wars while ignoring basic issues...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

On Ukraine;

"Important - Multiple enemy resources report that the Russian army has concentrated large forces in the Zaporozhye direction.  ðŸ”´ It is reported that a shock fist has been created, which will soon be introduced into battle. It is expected that in the near future the Russian army will launch a large-scale offensive in the Zaporozhye direction 

-(Zaporozhye/Zaporiznia is in the south-center of Ukraine) 

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Avdeevka: AFU Withdrawal from Avdeevka Coke Plant, Khimik, and Lastochkino Current situation as of 16:00, February 17, 2024 ðŸ”»Increasing footage shows the hoisting of the Russian flag over buildings deserted by Ukrainian troops, leading to preliminary assessments of front configuration changes. â–ªï¸ Ukrainian forces have partially vacated their positions at the Avdeevka Coke Plant (relocating to Orlovka). Some pockets of resistance persist. There are reports (https://t.me/condottieros/2436) suggesting that the AFU may now retreat under the guise of proposing a prisoner and casualty exchange, according to Colonel Cassad @boris_rozhin. Control of the high-rise buildings, at least in the eastern part of the AKHZ, now rests with the Russian Armed Forces. Alexander Kharchenko observes (https://t.me/bayraktar1070/1879) that the AKHZ's elevated position is ideal for setting up UAV repeaters and overseeing nearby villages. â–ªï¸ It is probable that the enemy is consolidating its position along the Berdychi - Semyonovka - Orlovka line. Early indications suggest that Ukrainian forces have abandoned the village of Lastochkino, which is fully within the AKHZ's firing range, making defense unfeasible. â–ªï¸ Efforts to clear the Khimik microdistrict with its high-rise buildings are ongoing. There may still be scattered enemy groups present in the area. The stretch from “Khimik” to Opytnyy is likely deserted as well. The closest enemy strongholds are expected to be east of Severny. ðŸ“ŒReconnaissance operations towards Lastochkino are already in progress, indicating that Russian forces will likely attempt to occupy the village and its surroundings soon. Clearing the liberated areas will be a time-consuming process, but the key is for the assault units to keep advancing. High-resolution map (https://rybar.ru/piwigo/upload/2024/02/17/20240217160906-5272381e.jpg) English version (https://rybar.ru/piwigo/upload/2024/02/17/20240217161302-fa9232d2.jpg)

-In short Ukraine had to give up lots of territory...very likely lots of POW/KIA and loss of a very high number of (western) weapons (including Leopard-2, Abram tanks)...

Deputy commander of the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Azov" said that the operation to withdraw troops from Avdeevka is still ongoing  â–ªï¸/Apparently the militants were still stuck somewhere and could not evacuate/. â–ªï¸ “Leaving Avdeevka was the right and logical decision. But it was very difficult to implement. The situation in general in this direction is difficult, very difficult battles await us,” said Nazi Zhorin.

-

🔞Avdeevka is littered with corpses of militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Azov: “🅾ï¸valiant” are clearing the city Stormtroopers of the 35th brigade, during the cleanup, stumbled upon another group of Azov Nazis who did not have time to escape and destroyed it.

DJ, Russia may hunt (western backed "moderate") neo-nazi's...








"Mercenary accommodation centers destroyed in the Kharkov region In the north of the village Circuny Kharkov region was an elite cottage area. In which foreign mercenaries, in the amount of 400 bodies, loved to live, writes lpr1. It was, until tonight."

Update(1748ET)Journalist and geopolitical commentator Aaron Maté explains that despite news of Alexei Navalny's death in prison driving world headlines and eliciting remembrances and comments from Western government leaders on Friday, he was still largely an unknown within Russian politics and society [emphasis ZH]...

What [former United States Ambassador to Russia] Michael McFaul says here is a joke. Navalny was a marginal opposition figure who polled at around 2%Putin didn't fear him; it served Putin to have him seen in the West as his main opposition.

and

A Muslim former employee of Amnesty International was sacked for challenging its decision to designate the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny as a prisoner of conscience despite his history of anti-immigrant statements. Aisha Jung said she lost her job at the organisation’s London office after she objected to the award of the status, arguing that Navalny had also incited violence against Muslims.

Middle East; 

WATCH this if you are an Americanâ—︠After causing immense devastation to our beautiful country through the CIA's initiation of a regime-change war in 2011 and imposing harsh sanctions that plunged 90% of our population below the poverty line, the US House has recently passed the "Assad Regime Normalization Act". The Act threatens neighboring countries of Syria from helping in the reconstruction of the wartorn country. I often ponder if psychopathy is a prerequisite for becoming a politician in Washington DC.

and [url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/house-oks-bill-prohibiting-any-normalization-syria[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/house-oks-bill-prohibiting-any-normalization-syria ;

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,

On Wednesday, the House passed a bill that prohibits the US from opening diplomatic relations with the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad and expands harsh sanctions on Syria to prevent other countries from normalizing with Syria.

The Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act passed in a vote of 389-32, demonstrating broad bipartisan support for the economic war against Syria. Only 28 Democrats and four Republicans voted against the bill. The legislation now heads to the Senate.

The bill was introduced as a reaction to Arab countries repairing relations with the Assad government and Syria being brought back into the Arab league. Hawks in the US are opposed to Syria’s regional integration and are hoping they can prevent it using sanctions under the Caesar Act.

DJ...such "rules" (as a "basis" for "western rules based order") only is increasing anti-western sentiments...BRICS+ waitinglist may get very long...

🇮🇷 The New York Times has reported that Israeli sabotage is the cause for the explosion at Pipeline 65. The sabotage targeted several points along two of Iran’s main natural gas pipelines. Photo below is at the site of one attack, in Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari. According to Iranian authorities and sources, the pipeline was repaired within 24 hours.

-








🇺🇳🇮🇱The UN court ruled that the situation around Rafah does not require additional measures against Israel that South Africa is asking for. So this is normal then? This is humane?

DJ, my view; the ICJ ruling was very clear..."israel" (and NATO) is ignoring it...so now the UN has to act...the ICJ has no power to enforce its rulings...(and "israel" ignores a lot of UN motions-gets away with it via US/UK veto's...) 

It's becoming clear to me how generalised Western Islamophobia has prevented "us" (media, politicians, public...) from truly understanding the violent, extreme Zionism that rules Israel. For instance: 1�£ we recognise indoctrination of children by ISIS, but not by Zionist orgs. 1/

-

But Zionist organisations teach children false history and indoctrinate them into violence against Palestinians and Arabs more generally. 2�£ we recognise violent terrorism as 'belonging' to Islam, but we fail to recognise the long patterns of violent terrorism ...

-

and violence (Iran, Afghanistan ...), but for Israel, we assume that it is a liberal, progressive democracy, without recognising the very same aspects of anti-democratic extremist violence and coercion at play. 4/

-

into a cult of absolute fanaticism and violence. And my conclusion is that they *are* indoctrinated, that mainstream Zionism is such a violent fanatic ideology, but that somehow the Western world is incapable of recognising it as such because of our knee-jerk Islamophobia. 7/

DJ-all of it at [url]https://twitter.com/JKSteinberger/status/1758747371926655317[/url] or https://twitter.com/JKSteinberger/status/1758747371926655317 

Basic point, we need to rethink the way we see "zionism"....(Most "israeli" citizens may NOT agree with what crimes are done in the name of a "Jewish State"...netanyahu did destroy "israel"...)

In addition to producing widespread destruction, injury, starvation, and death, the IDF bombardment of Gaza has caused massive and persistent power and communications disruptions, preventing most Gazans, including my surviving relatives, from reaching the outside world. 

Today, for the first time in nearly three months, I was blessed to hear from a cousin in Gaza who continues to shelter at his family’s church. He tells me (translated): “No one can move to the south or north because of the closure of the crossings. The phone networks are almost cut off. Pray for us… 

“The city has become a semi-desert, where there is no food or drink, and the price of what can be found has become 10-12 times the normal price… “May God have mercy on us… “We’ve had four months of no electricity in the city… “I walked out of the church building [in October] less than a minute before it was hit, and whoever had been standing next to me was taken to God… 

“There’s a white flag above the church now because we’re afraid of being hit again… “It’s hard to leave here because the situation is so dangerous… “As I’m speaking to you, there are quadcopters in the sky and a strike in the distance…

” Please pray for the people of Gaza, for all Palestinians and Israelis, for an end to the killing, for the release of hostages, for peace in the region and justice for all the people.

DJ, somehow "peace", "ceasefire", "diplomacy" have become dirty words for "the civilized west"...The west "needs more weapons"....and of course in western media this is NOT western agression against BRICS+ members...but "self defense" in Ukraine, West Asia...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, On this forum I try to make up my mind about "complex matters"...Mainly -the idea was-on pandemic (risks)  but for that one needs (new) info...

History indicates pandemics and wars are a bad combination for lots of reasons, from refugees to finance wasted on destruction...At present NATO keeps promoting wars...the western goal is trying to "stay #1" -dominance of the globe...That goal already is unrealistic...

Just like getting a grip on the ongoing healthcrisis, keeping gloobal temperature rise under 1,5C has become unrealistic...outcome of bad politics only focused on "the economy" ...profits...

Russian Victory In Avdiivka | The Orikhiv Offensive Started. Military Summary 2024.02.17

DJ, MS is trying to get a view on the NATO war against BRICS in Ukraine...(my view) ...first 25 minutes about Avdiivka the last 5 minutes a.o. on what zelensky may be doing in "the west"...My non expert view;

-The Ukraine forces started pulling back from Avdiivka WITHOUT orders...sort of panic and despair; running out of supplies, exhausted, often hungry and ill...

-MS had lots of other videos of the very bad shape of Ukraine forces on other frontlines; suïcide a main problem...

So one of my questions is if the Ukraine army still is able to fight and for how long ? 

MS claiming "the west" is keeping zelensky "under their control"...zelensky (in western view) is president of Ukraine till the end of march...So lots of "security agreements" are signed...DJ-in return for what ? Germany would love to get control over lithium in eastern Ukraine...Poland may want land in western Ukraine...The UK may try to sell more weapons-further increase Ukraine debts...DJ-my non expert view; The "west" is trying to get a legal position to plunder Ukraine "under international law"....

MS asked himself some questions-the answers made up the video...Of course his answers are "the best he can think of"...

My view; both the west and Ukraine may be out of a strategy now...Russian forces may try to find out "how far they can go"....Defense lines deeper inside Ukraine were not made...the (western) money for it is gone....

A goal for Russia has been pushing back Ukraine artillery shelling Donetsk to kill Russians because they are Russians...security...

A buffer zone may be planned for the Belgorod region, NE Ukraine...The Russians did use 40,000 soldiers to "take" Avdiivka...have 60,000 soldiers in the south now moving north-east of the Dnjepr-river...

-----------------

So WHAT can the west do ? 

-Signing all kinds of contracts with zelensky-no doubt further ruining Ukraine...

-They may send in some extra supplies...however not that much supplies are left..."israel wants them"...

-A more cynical view is "dump Ukraine high speed"...so "biden can get reelected" people will also forget Ukraine...

-Escalate other wars...

As far as I know zelensky most of the time now is in Munich...blaming the west for not providing enough help...begging for more money...

Complete Air Supremacy Is The Key To Russian Success | Military Summary And Analysis For 2024.02.18

try  to get a view on events in Ukraine...My non expert view;

-Russian air supremacy may not last that long so Russia will use it to the max

-Groundforces keep pushing-using the chaos in Ukraine forces

-Ukraine did see yesterday over 1500 soldiers killed-in part by their own fire...not knowing if troops were Russian or Ukrainian...

-So far at least 500 Ukraine POW's...

British & American T-34 Tanks - A True Story

DJ, during world war two both the US and UK did look if Soviet T-34 tanks could be of use for the US and UK army...One of the reasons why the UK decided not to use the Soviet tanks-they were to wide for UK railway(tunnels)...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_track[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_track of Russian tanks -then and now- are made to deal with mud and snow...Western tanks have much smaller tracks good for urban fighting...but a lot of the Ukraine war is a "mud fight"....

DJ-My major question now; Is Russia planning to "finish" Ukraine ? With offensives from the east and -now- south...when will the north-east offensive start ? 

---------------

Gaza;

The IDF has been systematically targeting health care , HCWs, journalists, refugee camps, bakeries, ambulances - all while murdering children, starving &  displacing millions. 40% of the population is at imminent risk of famine. Funded by UK, US, most of Europe, Australia.

“All had single sniper shots to the head”

DJ, "israeli" terrorists snipers killing children....

"israel/netanyahu" may have phantasies over more wars to create more "living space/lebensraum" ...however the west may not be able to offer much help any longer...

....what can I say about "our leaders"......they should be behind bars...but got away with so many wars (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia...)

DJ, trying to get "a view" of "events" as a non-expert;

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-02-17/death-navalny[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-02-17/death-navalny 

DJ, what I make of the stories on nanvalny; he was an extreme right wing person )liberal party kicked him out). He had very little support inside Russia but "western leaders" loved him. He died at the age of 47 after a hungerstrike-he also gave up that hugerstrike...One of the reasons he got in prison was accepting western "sponsor money"...

An arctic prison camp is not a joke...in combination with not very good health it may kill you...

DJ-western "leaders" welcome the death of navalny so they can go on ignoring the "israel" mass murder on Palestinians...They can ignore Gonzalo Lira-who died in an Ukraine prison being denied medical care...They also ignore Julian Assange -for years hunted by the west because of Wikileaks...

Evacuation Of Orikhiv. Russia Begins Another Huge Operation. Military Summary 2024.02.18

DJ, the "big picture" my view...

-Both zelensky and netanyahu need the war to go on to stay in power

-Both zelensky and netanyahu can continue the war with -lots of- NATO support

-If there were elections both zelensky and netanyahu had no chance-would face prison for corruption...

-Very likely both in Ukraine and NATO proxy "israel" public anger may end the "junta"...

-Both Ukraine and "israel" are destroyed...

-The "west" may no longer have the means for reconstruction...BRICS+ may move in...

On the MS story;

-Now zelensky is blaming the neo-nazi Azov military for losing Avdiivka...Azov-group is pro-zalushny/poroshenko etc. so zelensky/sirsky wanted that "power" gone...The idea was they "would die as hero's" in another crazy battle...(zelensky in Munich security conference again blaming lack of western support-asking for even more billions...biden and his gang "party" use the collapse in Ukraine to blame trump-supporters blocking aid "to a good friend" with lithium, gas etc...)

-MS is wondering what the Russian goals/strategy is...Russia did gain ground in the east-but it may have been to catch Ukraine soldiers trying to escape from Avdiivka...If the ground itself has "no use" for Russia the Russian army may pull back to good defensive positions

-MS thinks the Russian offensive in the south of Ukraine may be meant to pull away (pro)Ukraine forces from other frontlines...

DJ-My view; Russia wants to protect Russian civilians from getting killed by NATO weapons fired from Ukraine soil...So Russia may now try to create buffer zones to protect Donetsk, Crimea...next step may be in the north to protect Belgorod-region...

 Leaders at an African Union summit in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Saturday condemned Israel’s offensive in Gaza and called for its immediate end.

Moussa Faki, the chair of the African Union Commission, said Israel’s offensive was the “most flagrant” violation of international humanitarian law and accused Israel of having “exterminated” Gaza’s inhabitants.

Faki spoke alongside Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, who also addressed the summit.

DJ, Now three African countries are in BRICS+; South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia...several more are in fact already working with BRICS; Algeria, Nigeria, Angola...all three energy exporters no longer using the US$ for all of their deals...

-----------

DJ-In "israel" anti-netanyahu protests restarted in Tel-Aviv...Jewish communities worldwide can not defend the crimes that are done by "israel"...

It wasn't just 'post-colonial legacy'. British colonisation  led to 100 million excess deaths in India. There's just collective amnesia about the impacts on some groups... Murder of millions was not the exception. It was the rule. https://aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/2/how-british-colonial-policy-killed-100-million-indians

and

Before the creation of Israel in 1948, there was the partition of India in 1947, passed by the British parliament. 
This created India and Pakistan, countries divided by religious demographics. 

There was a mass migration as the violence forced between 10-15 MILLION people to leave their generational homes and destroying communities that had existed for centuries. For context about 700,000 Palestinians were displaced in 1948. 

The Partition of India led to communal riots, massacres and a cycle of violence that continues today. The wildly different economic outcomes also contribute to the tension. Even today, Kashmir is one of the biggest flashpoints of conflict, which has a Muslim majority population, but had a ruler that sided with India. Pakistan wants it back, India feels the matter is long settled. 

And similar to Hamas, you have terrorists in Kashmir that want to create an Islamic state and are willing to commit mass violence on civilians to get what they feel is their land back. While not a perfect analogy, there are obviously similarities between India/Pakistan and Israel/Palestine, though at a fraction of the scale of displacement. It’s important to note the differences. For India, there is obviously a vast postcolonial legacy to consider. 

For Israel, there’s obviously the aftermath of the Holocaust that was a primary driver for their statehood. And obviously the international community has very different stakes in each of these conflicts. 

But at the root of both, there is a desire to address the perceived injustices that followed the end of World War II. So my question is, are we trying to rewind all of the injustices of 1947/1948? Or just the parts of history that affect the Jews? 

I think it makes sense to try to go forwards and not backwards, to address the injustices, as they exist today, rather than returning to the way the world was in 1947.

DJ; The "global south" knows the "divide&rule"neo-colonial games of the anti-democratic "west". They know the "west" wants exploitation-keeping the rest down and poor...

In that "west" the political "elite" finds itself more and more isolated...Most Americans hate both biden and trump...In the UK "new-labour"  is part of a uni-party...Even here in NL -with lots of parties- there is a tendency "politics agree on so many issues" we have ONE major party with several faces/"leaders"...

Democracy has become democrazy....The EU no longer in public but in political elite interest...

With lots of other problems only getting much worse high speed (health, climate crises) the present political elite "needs wars" to stay in power/control...divide&rule inside the west...Forces (a.o. trade unions, XR, peace groups) are slowly organizing for change...

We do NOT need more weapons...more wisdom would be VERY welcome !!!!

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, It may be good to -for a moment- take a look at some basics in the ongoing wars;

Ukraine

-Russia wants to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine, extreme Ukraine nationalists -some of them neo-nazi, want to kill Russians...

-Russia made clear for decades it did not want NATO to move east-so it is stopping NATO expansion in Ukraine

-Demilitarization of the pro-NATO puppet regime in Ukraine is a third basic...

It is western projection to claim Russia wants to occupy Ukraine-like NATO/US occupied Iraq...The Soviet Union came to help a pro-Sovjet regime in Afghanistan in 1979...they left that country in 1989...The "west" had succeded in "creating a Vietnam for the USSR...They did learn from it...

Russia did see what happened to NATO in Iraq...occupation may not (always) bring the change you want...

I think Russia wants the people of Ukraine seeking neutrality. The population voted for zelensky because he promised peace...but he did bring a very destructive war...

So how far is Russia from its goals in Ukraine ? 

-Ukraine is running out of both soldiers and weapons (as expected)

-NATO is running out of supplies as well...NATO "support" resulted in a much larger war bringing more destruction and killing over half a million Ukraine soldiers....

-NATO "leaders" think they may be able to offer more support...reality is different-creating billions of $ or € is increasing debts..

-Western sanctions backfired...most of the west is de-industrializing...high energy production (metals, chemicals, fertilizers) etc is moving to countries with low energy costs..

-BRICS is growing like crazy...faster even than western debts...trade in ones own currency -instead of western currencies- may be the norm soon...

-In Ukraine "recruiters" more and more get beaten up, Ukraine may be close to hunger/health crisis...

So...the ongoing political crisis in Kiev; zelensky supported by some (western) forces, zalushni by other forces could even result in a short civil war...

The west had control via "support", bribes, weapons...but the west is losing control...

In the US biden and his gang may decide to dump Ukraine so it will be "old news" in november this year-US elections...86% of US voters think biden is (much) to old for the POTUS-job...(President Of The United States)...still the gamble his gang is making "trump"(77) is worse...So people would vote against trump...resulting in demented biden winning...

The basic global problem is US "politics-for-sale" resulting in "the west" doing what a very small rich elite wants...That elite has shares in war-industry...so every war is profit...

That rich elite is also investing in Big Pharma...solving a healthcrisis is bad for profits...Climate collapse ? Never waste a "good" crisis = profits...

Greed of a few is destroying the "neo-liberal" west...

----------------

Part of the above also is a factor in West Asia...NATO-proxy "israel" is getting military aid for its mass murders and crimes...but not enough-due to western stocks/production limits- for fighting/winning major wars...

"israel" still getting supplies via the region but at very high costs...

DJ-the "israel army" is made up of reservists. Those "part time soldiers" are now not in their normal jobs...

"israel" is a small strip of land in West Asia-a western bridgehead in an energy rich area...but 20% of its population is now refugee inside "israel"...over a million of the under 10 million left the country...

Like Ukraine "israel" is not able to win the wars it is seeking...

-Hamas is still around...even in Gaza...

-Hezbollah in Lebanon is more ready than ever for war

-In the West Bank "israel" (army/settlers) killed hundreds of Palestinians

-The Gaza-genocide is damaging "israel" a lot...

Like zelensky netanyahu needs the war to go on to stay in power and out of prison...So far both "leaders" get western help with that...(Both biden and trump are frauds...if a "normal guy" would act the way these "leaders" do they would end up in jail...)

So...netanyahu wants war with Iran..."israel" has limited number of nuclear weapons...A fanatic club of extreme-zionist-fascists in power with the goal of a "greater israel"...

The ukraine war may end in a Kiev power struggle...the "israel" crisis may be more difficult...

In the present "israel" government netanyahu is seen as "moderate"...extremists see him as weak...

For biden and his gang the "israel situation" may hinder biden reelection...however trump is also very pro"israel"....

The "west" may be split...DJ-I had the idea European countries/EU made their own foreign policy...I had to give up that idea in 2020 with biden pushing for war with Russia and Europe following the US as a bunch of idiots...

biden wanted revenge for the trump presidency...h.clinton came up with "Putin made trump president" insanity...

US rich always were interested in "liberating" Russian oil, gas, uranium etc...

BRICS is ending US dominance

EU-UK-US all "defend" western dominance in neo-colonial proxy wars...keeping the rest of the world poor, down...

But "israel" is seen as "European"...a major war in the region -again- means millions more refugees, higher energy costs, bad for European economies...and "o yes" human rights...The west would love to claim moral superiority..."home of democracy and human rights" while exploiting the rest of the world...

---------

Netanyahu may know he can no longer depend on western help being enough for his goals...so seeking an all out war may bring the end of "israel" even faster...

-------------

BRICS is going for "make trade not war" in what can be seen as economic war...

A way the west did get global dominance was the US$...keeping lots of countries poor and under control...

BRICS -now larger than the G7-west- is doing trade in countries own currencies...the US/west goal is to end that...

BRICS now has 10 member states...expected to welcome more members this year...however non-BRICS members trade with BRICS-members also in local currencies..de-dollar-ization is going high speed...

Western sanctions resulting in cheap Russian energy for non-western countries (so a lot of western companies follow lower energy costs)...

BRICS+ already has "energy dominance" (via Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE) new expected members; Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, Kazachstan, Venezuela a.o. result in BRICS getting almost full control over global energy...the "west" is trying to stop that...

----------

Nuclear war risk may come most from "israel"...Western divide&rule games however could promote war in India-Pakistan-China (Kasjmir) area...Asia has over half of the global population...India, Pakistan and China all three have nuclear weapons..."the west" may welcome a "limited nuclear war" killing billions of Asians...opening the door to natural resources for "western (elite) investors"...Divide&rule is a very old strategy.....

A "first strike" is not very likely...radar would detect incoming missiles..the MAD-scenario Mutual Assured Destruction-may stop ideas of a first strike...

After the fall of the Soviet Union some Soviet nuclear weapons ended up in Ukraine...Those weapons were dismantled in the '90 's...However "suitcase nuclear bombs" small nuclear weapons for battlefield use may still be around (there are some nuclear weapons missing...not only Soviet/Russian ones...) ..

So if that kind of "small nuke" shows up who knows what will happen...Ukraine is and was one of the most corrupt countries in the world...Western weapons meant for Ukraine ended up a.o. with Mexican drug kartels...maybe also with Hamas...

Illegal weapon traders can make a lot of money with nuclear weapons...

Another "crazy story" is the Saudi King buying "a right of use" for Pakistan nuclear weapons...Some countries can "outsource" their nuclear weapons...

Very likely the US did pull back most nuclear weapons from US bases in Türkiye...to "avoid complications" if "Türkiye switched sides"....

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons ;

Eight sovereign states have publicly announced successful detonation of nuclear weapons.[1] Five are considered to be nuclear-weapon states (NWS) under the terms of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons, these are the United StatesRussia (the successor of the former Soviet Union), the United KingdomFrance, and China. Of these, the three NATO members, the UK, US, and France, are sometimes termed the P3.[2]

Other states that possess nuclear weapons are IndiaPakistan, and North Korea. Since the NPT entered into force in 1970, these three states were not parties to the Treaty and have conducted overt nuclear tests. North Korea had been a party to the NPT but withdrew in 2003.

Israel is also generally understood to have nuclear weapons,[3][4][5][6][7] but does not acknowledge it, maintaining a policy of deliberate ambiguity.[8] Israel is estimated to possess somewhere between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads.[9][10] One possible motivation for nuclear ambiguity is deterrence with minimum political friction.[11][12]

States that formerly possessed nuclear weapons are South Africa (developed nuclear weapons but then disassembled its arsenal before joining the NPT)[13] and the former Soviet republics of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine, whose weapons were transferred to Russia.

DJ Iran itself claims -for religious/ethical reasons- it does NOT want nuclear weapons-but it does want nuclear energy...

Nuclear power plants are widespread...using those plants in an attack to start a nuclear explosion may be very difficult...maybe not impossible...In the Ukraine-Russia war such a scenario was a risk...Ukraine trying to damage nuclear installations and blame Russia for it...

In 1962 the Soviet Union -in reaction to US nuclear missiles in Türkiye- put nuclear missiles in Cuba...Russia now has hypersonic missiles -20.000 km/h+- it no longer needs Cuba for putting a "nuclear gun" at the US...Also submarines can get very close to the US...with more nuclear potential than the Soviet Union ever had in Cuba-1962...

A nuclear war by accident, miscommunications, technical failure (computers signal incoming missiles-when it is a flock of birds-then start preparation for nuclear counterattack...it did happen in the past...so human factor is the main-but slow- stop in nuclear escalation..

We need to get rid of (nuclear/all) weapons !!! STOP WAR before wars stop us !!!

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Replying to @AJEnglish
Only three days' worth of drinking water is available at Khan Younis's al-Amal Hospital after Israeli forces targeted and damaged a water desalination station, reports PRCS. ðŸ”´ LIVE updates: http://aje.io/cio6aq

DJ, You do not win war by killing children, a mass murder on civilians...

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/war-expands-massive-israeli-airstrike-some-60km-deep-lebanon[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/war-expands-massive-israeli-airstrike-some-60km-deep-lebanon ; Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has confirmed in a statement that military was behind large airstrikes that rocked a town just south of Sidon earlier in the day. Hagari the strikes targeted Hezbollah weapons depots, and also served as a response to an explosive-laden that struck northern Israel previously on Monday.

DJ "israel" is getting overstretched...fighting a two-front war may be a bad idea...with increasing "incidents" with Syria...

The "israel" war crimes and extreme zionist fascists may be even to much for most of the west...Lots of "israel" citizens see what they believed to be their country/future destroyed...

For now Arab countries + allies do not go full war against "israel" in part due to NATO cover of "israel" ...but "israel" is self destructive...

The Huge Russian Rotation To Collapse The Entire Front Line. Military Summary 2024.02.19

DJ, Russia is preparing to include all of Ukraine east of the Dnjepr in Russia...very likely they also will take Odesa/Black Sea coast...

MS conclusion; zelensky preparing talks with Russia. DJ; After his return from Munich he must know two things:

-1 The west is dumping him

-2 Other leaders are willing to "replace" him...

------------

[url]https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/19/qhfu-f19.html[/url] or https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/19/qhfu-f19.html ;

As the world is increasingly afflicted by war—the result of the ever-expanding front lines of US imperialism’s drive to maintain its position of global dominance—there are clear indications of a gathering economic slump.

This development will intensify the geopolitical tensions, leading to increased militarism, as capitalist governments worldwide increase their arms spending, while intensifying the attacks on the working class in order to pay for it.

The worsening global economic outlook was highlighted last week by data which showed that both the UK and Japan experienced two consecutive quarters of negative growth in the second half of 2023.

This trend was underscored by the decision of the European Commission to downgrade its forecast for European Union economic growth this year after 11 of the 27 EU countries were hit by recession in 2023, the most significant being the contraction of 0.3 percent in the German economy for the year.

The contraction in the Japanese economy—a 0.3 percent fall in output in the last quarter after a shrinkage of 3.3 percent in the third—came as something of a shock, because the “consensus” forecast among economists was, instead, for an expansion of 1.1 percent.

DJ, US weapon export-for now-is booming...however US weapons are very expensive...Other countries may be able to produce better weapons at lower costs..

"Europe" is supposed to move towards a "war economy"...build tanks-not schools...invest in armies not in healthcare...

Insanity !!!!

Europe is dealing with its oldest population ever in history...it need to import workers to get basics done...It has NO ROOM to switch to a war economy..

Why should it ? It was not the European voter that wanted war...did think NATO had to move east..

A criminal elite pushing "Russian agression" propaganda has its limits..the Gaza-genocide only is an extra limit...

Why the west is supporting a genocide on Palestinians ? Could the Russian claim of Ukraine trying a genocide on ethnic Russians be true as well ? 

Why we even do have NATO ?????

---------------

Maybe also another step back in history...

May 10 1940 nazi-germany invaded the Netherlands..."We" NL were neutral...mainstream NL politics did see hitler as a "head of state of a friendly nation"...

Insulting hitler in NL could get you in NL prison...[url]https://www.nd.nl/nieuws/nederland/1160086/tegenstanders-van-hitler-werden-voor-de-oorlog-vastgezet-in-een#closemodal[/url] or https://www.nd.nl/nieuws/nederland/1160086/tegenstanders-van-hitler-werden-voor-de-oorlog-vastgezet-in-een#closemodal (in Dutch)..

The decission to invade "Holland"was made by hitler/generals to attack France from the north...However most Germans did see NL -the Dutch- as friendly...not in any way as a risk...The nazi-claim "the UK was preparing to invade NL" was not taken very serious...It did cost the nazi's support...

In World War One NL "was neutral"...it exported a lot to Germany; from patatoes to uniforms...Even "Fokker" -a Dutch aircraft builder [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker became the major aircraft builder for Germany...

From that perspective a "neutral NL" could have been of much more use for nazi-germany...(Belgium wanted repair costs from NL after World War One...even with NL providing a sfae place for 1 million Belgian refugees during the war-NL population only 5 million...) ...

Invading NL did cost Germany a very major part of air-transport...400 planes did suffer damage-250 of them beyond repair...German Flying boats in the Rotterdam waterways turned out to be a mistake...German elite para-troopers were defeated at The Hague/Den Haag...ended up being shipped as POW to the UK...

So...not attacking NL may have given another outcome of World War Two...

In 2021/2022 the west had a choice to accept Ukraine staying out of NATO...Ukraine maybe could-at some time-join a (non-military NATO linked) EU...Ukraine as a bridge between Asia and Europe could have seen economic growth...Ukrainians a good future...

My view; biden believed Russia to be weak...blaming Putin for trump...it was biden who-via his son- as Vice-President did take interests in both Afghan and Ukraine mining...So...Ukraine had to join NATO...US nuclear weapons 500 kilometers from Moscow...to get an even better grip on Russian energy...

The outcome is the present disaster...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Wikileaks Reveals Alexei Navalny's US Funding as Washington Exploits His Death

-I do not know that much of navalny-the pictire I am getting of him from several-more critical-sources picture hin as neo-nazi....

[url]https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/ukraine-bombs-bus-stops-using-drone-dropped-grenades[/url] or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/ukraine-bombs-bus-stops-using-drone-dropped-grenades ;

Having lost the city of Avdiivka to the Russian Army, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have now decided to drop grenades on Bus Stops in the city of Donetsk, to continue killing civilians.

Video below is drone video from the Ukraine Army showing two of their drones dropping Grenades onto TWO separate bus stops to injure/kill civilians.

This is an act of actual terrorism because it deliberately targets solely civilians.

This is what the US Government and its NATO allies are funding and allowing to take place, with YOUR tax dollars.  Terrorism.   Against civilians.

How does it feel to know that YOUR members of Congress are providing material support for terrorism?  How does it feel to know YOUR members of Congress are helping Ukraine to bomb civilians?

This is a war crime.  It violates the Geneva Convention which forbids targeting civilians.

In the USA, Congress providing money to Ukraine while they know Ukraine is doing these things, is the federal criminal felony of providing material support to terrorism.  

DJ, Ukraine has been using western provided weapons over and over since 2014 to kill Russians...It was one of the reasons Russia moved in...

In another shining example of the sub-human garbage the US Government has become, the US Ambassador to the United Nations VETOED another UN Security Council Resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The federal government of the United States is protecting an actual Genocide taking place in the Gaza Strip, being perpetrated by the so-called "state" of Israel.

Over 30,000 civilians, sixty percent of which are women and children, have now been killed by Israeli military action against Gaza.

The United States is protecting this ongoing killing and it has gotten beyond disgusting.

DJ, this time the US excuse for the veto is "ongoing talks" between "israel" and Hamas-only those talks have ended days ago...

--------------

-Both Ukraine and "israel" have become US/NATO proxies

-Both Ukraine and "israel" terrorize civilians out of hatred

-Both Hamas and the Russian forces see new volunteers replacing more places than NATO manages to kill...

-Outcome of both wars is NATO getting disgusting, Russia and Hamas getting stronger...

-Still "western leaders" seem unable to learn a thing from the many mistakes made over and over...

Alastair Crooke: Israel/US Fatal Mistakes

DJ...NATO again over and over attacking Yemen-Houthis...in a western created civil war (to "stop Iran") also for over a decade Saudi Arabia/UAE did attack rthose Houthi's...Both Saudi Arabia and UAE may have learned...made peace with Iran-became BRICS-members...

-Here in NL there is a list of "radicals/extremists" may end up on an anti-terrorlist [url]https://www.nationaleombudsman.nl/nieuws/nieuwsbericht/2024/nationale-ombudsman-start-onderzoek-naar-cter-registratie[/url] or https://www.nationaleombudsman.nl/nieuws/nieuwsbericht/2024/nationale-ombudsman-start-onderzoek-naar-cter-registratie 

DJ, if people may be planning terrorism it is good police/intel/army is keeping an eye on it...however in the past also peace activists, trade union members etc ended up on such a list...People may be investigated when they visit an other country-being held or refused for reasons they did not know...

In the past in NL being a member of the CPN-communist party meant you could forget any government job...from mailman to teacher...A member of the PSP-Pacifist party, lost his job at the police for his political views...

A bit further down in time in may 1940 nazi-germany used NL lists to find the Jewish population, the Dutch police handed the germans a list of all "left wing activists"...a lot of people died because they were on a list...

Dutch nazi's after 1945 could do part of the fighting in Indonesia till december 1949...then move to the Korean War...In NL Communists -from the start- did do a lot of resistance against the nazi-occupation...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_strike[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_strike even when the Soviet Union and Germany were not at war...The Dutch government in London may have betrayed a lot of communists resistance workers in NL to the Germans...(same happened a.o. in France).

There was a anti-Communist secret war fought by "the west" in occupied Europe WITH the nazi's...while the west also was at war with the nazi's...

Again-if you google "who financed hitler" big companies, German and others (NL-UK-US), royal families did...

The western war agains Russians (in history linked to vikings) has a long history...nazi's and "the western elite" go hand in hand...

Larry Johnson: Will Israel Invade Lebanon?

DJ, Larry Johnson was told by "israel" sources "israel" is planning to invade Lebanon...[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4od1eL4-tBY&t=13s[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4od1eL4-tBY&t=13s Alaster Crooke yesterday also made clear-"israel" is in a "tunnel vision psychosis" (DJ-my words) and does not see an alternative for wars...to create "deterrence"...however the region is not easy to deter any longer...so both 'israel" and some western countries keep escalating...

Larry Johnson also mentioned US "volunteer soldiers" pulling back/getting killed in Ukraine...MS mentioning Iranian volunteers fighting on the Russian side..

DJ-My view;

-On Ukraine the west may agree to talks with Russia...As long as they can -in their propaganda- deny Russia won they may seek peace..

-On "israel"...netanyahu may "plan" escalation...even "israeli military" may want escalation...The "west" may be willing to supply more weapons...however they may not be able to provide enough weapons/help to start a major war...

-BRICS-extra may wait...time is on their side...In their view-DJ very likely correct...-the west is destroying itself...no need for BRICS further help ...the "west" is doing a very good job in "self-destruction"....

[url]https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/21/wkdl-f21.html[/url] or https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/21/wkdl-f21.html ;

The deliberate mass murder of Palestinian civilians in Gaza continues in defiance of world public opinion as well as a ceasefire resolution that was passed by a more than three-quarters majority in the UN General Assembly itself in December.

Nor have Israel, the United States, or their NATO allies been deterred by findings in January by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest judicial body under the UN charter, that Israel’s operations in Gaza could “plausibly” fall under the 1948 Genocide Convention.

As a pretext for voting against the latest ceasefire resolution yesterday, the Biden administration put forward a proposed alternative version of the resolution that was so vaguely worded as to be unintelligible. It evidently called for a “temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practicable” and disapproved of Israel’s plans to storm Rafah, where a million people have sought refuge, “under current circumstances.”

At the same time as the US exercised its veto power on the Security Council, separate legal proceedings were underway in the ICJ that underscored the extent to which Israel has been flouting international law for decades in its drive to illegally occupy and annex Palestinian territory.

Unlike the pending case before the ICJ that attracted global attention last month, accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention, the proceedings this week were part of a separate earlier “advisory proceeding” originating from a UN General Assembly resolution passed at the end of December 2022.

This resolution asked the ICJ, seated in The Hague (Netherlands), to address what “legal consequences” should arise “from the ongoing violation by Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, from its prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and from its adoption of related discriminatory legislation and measures?”

As part of that case, the presentations on behalf of Palestine this week involved a precise exposition of the historical record. These presentations established that fully half the Palestinian people were “massacred or driven off their land in the 1948 Nakba,” after which their land was “was partitioned and half of it allocated to a new state that promptly extended it to 78 per cent by brute force. In 1967 … Israel commenced its still-continuing occupation of the entirety of the remaining Palestinian territory.”

DJ, NATO is replacing international law with its own made up "rules based order" to save the US$ and western exploitation of the world...

It is an impossible position...10% of the world still thinks they can "use/exploit" the other 90% in the interest of a 0,1% "rich corrupt elite"...

The "western order" is collapsing...DJ-and it may go out like a candle...very likely some EU members, Türkiye-still in NATO- start working with BRICS...

It may result in a "new elite"...but may end the present wars...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

After ceasefire negotiations have faltered, Israel has given Hamas a new ultimatum, with top Israeli war cabinet official Benny Gantz saying that Israel will launch a full assault on the southern city of Rafah if all remaining hostages aren't released by Ramadan. The Muslim holiday begins on March 10 this year, which is a few weeks away.

"The world must know, and Hamas leaders must know — if by Ramadan our hostages are not home, the fighting will continue to the Rafah area," Gantz told a conference of Jewish American organizations in Jerusalem on Sunday.

DJ...again..."israel" only can keep wars going with US/NATO help...lots of it by now because "israel" may be running out of material-in fact fighting already a three-front war.

UKRAINE WAR COSTS GERMANY MORE THAN $216 BILLION - Head of German Institute for Economic Research reveals to German egghead Chancellor Scholz by numbers HOW HARD bending to U.S. masters in Kiev's proxy war really hit Berlin. First of all, high energy costs caused growth in Germany to decline by 2.5 percentage points or €100 billion in 2022 and by a similar amount in 2023, however, these are only direct financial costs, further costs will arise from escalation of geopolitical and geo-economic conflicts, especially with China due to the war. This will hit export companies especially hard - Head of German Institute for Economic Research Fratzscher.

again...who does Germany want to do trade with ? Blocking Russia, China...there is NO plan/strategy...

🇸🇾 Syrian Ministry of Defence: At 9:40 this morning, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression with several missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting a residential building in the Kafr Sousa neighborhood in Damascus. The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of two civilians, the wounding of another, and material damage to the targeted building and some neighboring buildings.

🆕STATEMENT: WFP is pausing the delivery of lifesaving food assistance to Northern Gaza until safe conditions are in place for our staff and the people we are trying to reach. Our decision to pause deliveries to the north has not been taken lightly. The safety and security to deliver critical food aid - and for the people receiving it - must be ensured.

DJ, Norther Gaza is close to famine...

The  administration highlights the dysfunctional United Nations system and its Security Councils. The #US stands alone in voting to continue #Israel's ethnic cleansing, starvation and crimes. It is not clear what level of suffering of the Palestinian people would cause world leaders to act in their defence, hold Israel accountable and stop sending arms to the murderers of children and women. Standing alone in vetoing a ceasefire is another nail in the coffin of US credibility on human rights.

DJ, the most likely outcome will be a "one-state" solution; Palestine "from the river to the sea"...with room for lots of people with all kinds of background (including Jewish people).  The present crimes are ending a "zionist state"...

DJ, Maybe the "big (historic) picture";

-BRICS/rest want a more fair global trade system

-NATO/west sticking to uni-polar -in fact- US rule...

A mistake often made is thinking a "new big war" will be a repeat-someway-of the previous "big war"...

Very likely 9 countries may have nuclear weapons;

1. Russia, 2, US, 3.UK, 4, France, 5, China, 6. India, 7. Pakistan, 8. "israel" 9. North Korea...besides that the non-nuclear potential can also do "a very large amount of" damage...

One reason why there has NOT been a major attack on NATO-proxy "israel" is BRICS does not want war...Not out of weakness but it does not need war to reach its goals...

It is "the west" that is losing its dominance-in that way it now is the west that is pushed into defense...

-A major problem for "the west" is nuclear strategy was meant to deal with one-or a few-enemies...The west did manage to "organize" almost all of the rest against them...

-I (DJ) think that MAD Mutual Assured Destruction still has some protective function. 

"israel" may see Iran as the main target and think of using nuclear weapons against it...But it will bring such a reaction from Iran-allies "israel" (very small) would be in ashes..

Iran may survive a first strike (bigger country) and still react...

Another point has to be -again as example- what would "israel" gain by a nuclear attack ? A "greater israel" means conflict with all of the region...

The "west" may choose to support a "greater israel" to get a better grip on West Asian oil and gas...stop BRICS...However; US/NATO occupation and terror in Iraq, Libya, Syria did cost a lot -the west could steal the oil...But maybe buying it may be cheaper...

Another western goal is "saving the US$" ...but is global war the way to do that ? So far global war resulted in growing debts, inflation, de-dollar-ization...

Still with maniacs as leaders reason is gone...

-The "west" may end up soon without money, materials (M&M) for further war...So far countries/institutions buying US debts did finance US wars...US bases secured assess to basics; copper, metals, energy...both are almost over...

The "west" did send that much of its "M&M" to proxy wars it is almost out of means for basic self defense...Starting a big enough war-industry is not an easy job...with what ? 

Would the west welcome migrant workers to produce weapons so "the west" can invade the migrant-worker countries ? The west never had such an "old" population...

-So...yes western "leaders" may try to promote more war...ignore there are not enough tools for it...Invade Yemen to see ships sink, soldiers die ? Repeat mistakes ?

The west has put itself in a downward spiral...did get much weaker since the provoked Ukraine "SMO" /war started and went on...

When YOU start a fight you better know what you are doing...because you may lose that fight...

---------------

Again; outcome is "the world is winning" because "the west" is taking a step back...NOT a defeat, NOT a BRICS+ victory  just a "change of order"....

The "west" can play its role in a multi-polar world, both the $, the € and the UK£ can play a role in global finance...only not dominate it...

The "change of order" will be a painfull proces...slow...but within a few years the "new order" may be the "new normal"...

In most BRICS countries governments have a role/say in the economy...State above (private) companies...For Europe it will be going back to a pre-1990 world, for the US it may be a bigger change-welcomed by most citizens...

In a society housing, healthcare, education, social security are major issues...NOT maximum profits for companies to get the rich even more rich...that neo-liberalism is self-destructive poison...it did NOT work ! 

DJ...I think the military  that are "running" nuclear weapons may try to stay out of hysteria...Incidents in the past may indicate military -in doubt- did choose NOT to use nuclear weapons...(We have been very close to nuclear war quite often...we have to get rid of nuclear weapons !) 

So...altough we now live in a time with unseen high nuclear risks  -with some luck- we may survive it long enough to give alternatives a chance...

Bye, bye western dominance-welcome multi polar world !

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Munich in despair as EU sinks, Russia surges and Trump looms

DJ, The Duran in short; EU leaders do not have any idea what they are talking about...

-EU going for a "war industry" while it is also de-industrializing

-To produce weapons that are very expensive

-US will push their weapons

-New wonder-weapons will bring an Ukraine victory-phantasy...

WARNING: US Risks FISCAL CRISIS as its $1.6 TRILLION Deficit & $34.2T National Debt Are of Control

DJ, US political leaders live in phantasyland...expecting others to buy/pay US debts...To put it very cynical; If biden knows trump will win he may decide to spent more to give trump an even bigger problem....Politicians acting as stupid schoolboys wasting trillions to hurt eachother....

Western currencies will see growing inflation-imports (energy, food)  will become more expensive...so also "spending more on war" ; how western politicians think they can pay for it ? 

Both "israel" and Ukraine need a lot of western funding to fight their wars...both are losing those wars...

King Abdullah told Biden that over 100,000 people have been killed, wounded or gone missing during the Israeli conflict and most of them are women and children. As of now this is not stopping, it's continuing. The Muslim, Arab Turks are absolutely enraged. Pay attention!

DJ With lots of non-western countries joining forces the major weapon against the west is an economic weapon...The US did use the $ as a weapon...but that backfires when lots of countries then dump the $.....

The basis for western dominance-the last 500 years- was military power...The Ukraine war is showing NATO is not that strong...The Gaza-genocide showing "west has no morals"...still a colonial view...exploiting others-keeping them poor and down by supporting dictators...

So in a military, economic and now propaganda war the west is losing...

Western media still go for the propaganda; Russia isolated so Putin has to meet Kim of North Korea, Assad of Syria...is welcomed in Saudi Arabia as a rock star...BRICS is booming...The "Russia is isolated non sense" becoming such a clear lie...it is the west being kicked out...Out of Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Asia...

Sooner or later we’re going to have to face the reality that conservatism and capitalism is killing us. It’s not a debate. It’s a fact. It’s literally happening right now in front of our eyes. If you can’t see it you either don’t understand it, or you are intentionally lying to yourself. It seems that we would rather all die than face this terrible inconvenient truth.  https://theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/17/february-on-course-to-break-unprecedented-number-of-heat-records

It is "the system"....

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, "secret wars"

Göring the Peacemaker? The Secret 1939 Plot

In late 1939, a secret attempt was made by Hermann Göring to make peace between Germany and Britain. It involved the very highest echelons of the British government and a host of shadowy intelligence officers of several nations.

and [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn38TLpvRp0[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn38TLpvRp0 ;

The Himmler Solution - Secret Peace Talks With Roosevelt & Churchill

Most people know that Himmler tried to negotiate with the Western Allies in the last weeks of the war in Europe, but few realise that he actually negotiated extensively with the British and Americans going all the way back to 1940 - his aim? Topple Hitler, make himself leader and end the war in the West. It has also been suspected that Himmler had links with the German resistance movement, links nobody talks about today. Find the full story here... 

Dr. Mark Felton is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries. More information about Mark can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fe... 

DJ...double "games"...himmler planning to get hitler killed in july 1944-not knowing the plotters also wanted himmler killed...

In 1943 stalin -after Stalingrad- did also offer a peaceplan to Germany. A.o. Poland would be split up on basis of the 1939 Soviet-German agreement (reality since september 15-1939 till july 1941-German invasion of Soviet Union). 

Sweden was a main basis where germans and -most- UK "people" had talks...The idea of "killing hitler" later in the war became "less interesting" when hitler took over control from generals and started leading (and losing even more) the war...Part of the UK idea was to get info on nazi-leaders to "play games against the nazi-top"...

Another aspect may have been; In 1939 germany did not have much territories occupied...After the summer of 1940 a UK peace deal with Germany would mean agreeing on what position the Benelux, France, Denmark, Norway would be...much more complex...

December 7 1941 hitler also declared war to the US...a "welcome gift" to the UK...

The Mark Felton video's also underline (family)-links between the nazi-top and "western elite" ...görings first wife was Swedish...

-------------------

Sanctions war did "shock" Russia in 2021, early 2022...however Russia managed to deal with the "new" western sanctions like they did deal with 2014 sanctions...

The west-since 2014-would a.o. not sell agriculture to Russia...so it increased its own production...also buying more from Türkiye, Iran...

Energy sanctions could have hurt Russia-only on a global market with more demand then sellers/producers Russia managed to increase energy exports to China, Türkiye...The US blowing up Nordstream (because Germany might reopen energy trade with Russia..) did a lot of damage to the EU...wasted pipelines investments made by (mostly) Russia (damage several billions...German Siemens build generators for pumps-also did see a major market gone...). 

Russia also increased production of diesel, kerosine...part of Russian oil going a.o. to Saudi Arabia-so the Saudi's can sell more of Saudi oil to the west (themselves using cheap Russian oil). 

India may thank the west for an economic boom...Russian energy-via Iran-at low cost moving into India...

------

budanov-Ukraine secret service-with "others" (MI6, CIA) may have had plans to kill Putin...another strategy was to try to get Putin arrested for "war crimes"...so far not very effective...Russia could have killed zelensky....the fact Russia did not kill zelensky may represent a view on what zelensky means for Ukraine...(zelensky may be doing more damage to both Ukraine and NATO than Russia is able to do...). 

Kicking Russia out of SWIFT international banking may have speeded up BRICS banking plans...Lloyds no longer covering tankers with Russian oil...a.o. China, Türkiye now offer shipping insurance...

Of course there is a propaganda war...the "west" is very good in "creating realities"....Assad using chemical weapons when he is winning in Syria...of course bombing "hundreds of hospitals" in Aleppo...IS active in Syria and Iraq...NOT attacking "israel" no problem for western propaganda...

The recent interview with Putin by Tucker Carlson did break the western propaganda war...alternative media did paint another picture than "Ukraine is winning"....The Gaza-genocide ended western "nice lies"...showed NATO involvement in brutal crimes (again...). 

De-dollar-ization is an outcome of "ending poverty and exploitation"...Why would China use US$ to buy Russian energy ? Whe countries around the globe more or less had to accept payments in western currencies-making their own currencies close to worthless ? 

BRICS most of all may end western currency dominance...to end poverty and inequality...Niger now can find other clients for its uranium and gold...taking over the "French" mining companies exporting uranium/gold from Niger to France-keeping Niger (or Mali etc) poor...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
