Moscow seeks trade alliances with countries in Asia and the Global South at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. It was a brave new world when Aeroflots Delhi-Moscow flight touched down at Sheremetyevo International Airport on a balmy Monday morning. June 12 also happened to be a public holiday because of Russia Day, which has been Continue reading Russias SPIEF in, Hegemonic West Out

On June 19th, the Guardian published three separate pieces on an IDF military operation earlier in the day in the West Bank town of Jenin, where PA security forces have effectively lost control, to arrest terror suspects.  (One was an article by Ben Lynfield, and two were video reports.)

During the operation in the city, which included hours of heavy gunfire between soldiers and Palestinian fighters, eight Israeli soldiers were injured when their military vehicle was targeted by a bomb.

The article by Lynfield was oddly titled Israeli forces launch helicopter raid on Jenin in occupied West Bank, despite the text making clear that the IDF attack helicopter was narrowly used in a rescue operation during the raid to evacuate the injured Israelis soldiers.

Regarding the casualties, Lynfield writes:

The dead Palestinians were identified as Ahmed Saqr, 15, Qassam Abu Saraya, 29 who was claimed as a fighter by Islamic Jihad, Khaled Asasa, 21 and Qais Jabareen, 21.

Seven Israeli soldiers and militarised border police sustained light to moderate injuries, according to an army spokesperson.

However, at least three of the Palestinians killed during the fighting (including the 15 year old) were claimed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad not one, as Lynfield maintains.

Later in the piece, Lynfield writes that one hundred and twenty-three Palestinians and at least 21 Israelis have died, according to the Associated Press, ignoring research showing that the overwhelming majority of slain Palestinians were terrorists or males involved in violent clashes when they were killed.  Further, the Guardian omits the fact that all but...

Large Israeli raid in Jenin kills five Palestinians and wounds dozens

BY ANDREW KORYBKO | JUNE 18, 2023

Newsweek published an extended interview with Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Saturday in which this official repeatedly returned to the state of democracy in his country. This de facto theme pervades the entire text since he continually referenced this falls elections as supposedly being the key to resolving Pakistans economic crisis. Asif insists that theyll be free and fair without any meddling from his countrys military-intelligence structures, The Establishment, but this isnt true at all.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan (IK) was deposed in April 2022s post-modern coup precisely because The Establishments leading representative at the time, former Chief Of Army Staff Qamar Javed Bajwa, colluded with his domestic opponents to oust him after first securing tacit American approval. Pakistan then entered into a series of cascading crises that continue to this day, with its economic one being the focus of considerable international attention due to the countrys potentially impending bankruptcy.

Political stability is the prerequisite for resolving the economic crisis from which the others have largely stemmed, but The Establishment refused to allow truly free and fair early elections like IK and his supporters requested because then their post-modern coup would have been for naught. Those who carried out that regime change have financial, ideological, personal, and professional stakes in preventing his return to office, which explains why theyve so passionately opposed him since then.

The approximately 18 months between IKs removal in April 2022 and the next scheduled national elections in fall of this year were supposed to give The Establishment enough time to meddle in Pakistans democratic process to ensure that he doesnt win. This was first done through indirect means by having their media proxies falsely allege that there was supposedly no basis to the oil deal talks that he claimed to have held with President Putin during his trip to Moscow in late February 2022.

The associated innuendo was that his claim of being overthrown by an American-approved but superficially democratic plot as punishment for his independent foreign policy...

Putin reveals details of draft treaty on Ukraines neutrality

azerbaycan24.com June 18, 2023

Moscow and Kiev agreed on the general terms of Ukraines neutrality and security guarantees during the peace negotiations in March 2022, but Kiev then abruptly discarded the documents its delegation had already signed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday.

During a meeting with a group of African leaders in St. Petersburg, Putin showed for the first time the draft documents that were being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian emissaries in Trkiye more than a year ago.

According to Putin, the document titled the Treaty on the Permanent Neutrality and Security Guarantees for Ukraine had been signed by the Ukrainian delegation.

The draft stipulates that Ukraine must enshrine permanent neutrality in its Constitution. Russia, the US, Britain, China, and France are listed as guarantors.

The addendum to the draft, also shown by Putin, outlines both Russian and Ukrainian proposals regarding the size of Ukraines standing army during peacetime, as well as its equipment. Moscow proposed to cap the number of military personnel at 85,000 and the number of the National Guard members at 15,000. Kiev, meanwhile, proposed that its Armed Forces have up to 250,000 troops.

Moscow suggested that Ukraine should be allowed to have 342 tanks, 1,029 armored vehicles, 96 multiple rocket launchers, 50 combat aircraft, and 52 auxiliary aircraft. Kiev, meanwhile, was in favor of having 800 tanks, 2,400 armored vehicles, 600 multiple rocket launchers, 74 combat aircraft, and 86 auxiliary aircraft.

The sides also exchanged proposals on capping Ukraines mortars, anti-tank weapons, and anti-air missile systems, among other equipment.

The negotiations effectively broke down in the spring of 2022 shortly after Ukrainian officials accused Russian troops of killing civilians in several small cities around Kiev. The allegations were made immediately after Russian soldiers had withdrawn from the areas outside the Ukrainian capital in what the Kremlin described at the time as a goodwill gesture. Moscow has since repeatedly denied committing atrocities in Ukraine.

Speaking on Saturday, Putin said that Ukraine was responsible for sabotaging the negotiations. After we pulled our troops away from Kiev as we had promised to do the Kiev authorities had tossed [the draft treaty] into the dustbin of history, he said. They abandoned everything....

[I Am Pizza in Siem Reap, Cambodia on 2/14/23]

Linh Dinh Substack June 17, 2023

In Siem Reap four months ago, I had an awful pizza with fake cheese, so wrote about it. Within hours, some anonymous, of course, left a comment at my blog, What the fuck is that white stuff, asshole? There has to be a better way to voice his disagreement or doubt, but such is the world we live in. Unhappy psychos jam the Jewjewed West.

Speaking of which, Anyjewname Anyjewsurname opines at my SubStack, Hard to read about Jews as you write! Are you in the cause of a new round of crematory stoves? Are you in the counterinformation business? Doing a mixed salad about who are the n-a-z-y-es in Ua, may i call you Adolf?

Another mistake (?!), combating vaccines put you in the select squad of Apocalipse cavaliers, working hard for the death. (Only in my country, more than half a million, and no argument can change this.) Staggering into gibberish, he goes on.

Biden to American Marines in Japan on 5/18/23, My son was a major in the US Army. We lost him in Iraq. Beau Biden died of brain cancer in Maryland.

Biden in DC on 6/14/23:

China has their Belt and Road Initiative. It turned out to be their debt and destruction initiative. No, Im serious.  Not a joke.  Well, were going to win, and were going to help.

We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.

Biden supporters will claim his railroad line was a joke. Theyre partly correct, because Biden is a running gag to the rest of the world and a howler on Americans. Moving from Trump to Biden, their contempt became even more naked, but they have nothing to fear. Americans are so easily herded or cowed.

With German boys in white shirts and indigo ties behind him, Quinton Caesar (she/her) thundered in Nuremberg on 6/11/23, Now is the time to say, We are the last generation! Now is the time to say, Black lives always matter! Now is the time to say, God is queer!

Like some near-death drag queen, the West has become very tiresome and obnoxious, when it makes any sense at all. Thats why countries are fleeing from its economic, military and cultural web.

In November of 2022, Russias Duma unanimously approved a complete ban on LGBTQ, pedophilia and sex-change propaganda in all advertising, books, movies and media. Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin argued this measure would protect our children, the future of the country, from the darkness spread by the US and European states.
