The Russian military has conducted strikes on Ukrainian facilities used to prepare terrorist attacks, the Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday. The attacks were carried out in retaliation to Mondays attack on the Crimean Bridge, which claimed two civilian lives and left one child injured.

In a statement, the ministry said that Russian forces overnight launched a group retaliatory strike using high-precision sea-based weapons. The attack was aimed at facilities that were used to prepare terrorist acts against Russia involving unmanned drones, as well as the shipyard in the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa that produced them, it added.

Apart from this, the barrage targeted depots in Odessa and Nikolaev that contained around 70,000 tons of fuel meant for the Ukrainian military. All designated targets have been hit. Fires and detonations have been registered at the destroyed facilities, according to the statement.

On Tuesday, Sergey Bratchuk, the head of the Odessa administration, reported a rocket attack on the city which involved six Kalibr missiles, but claimed that all of them had been downed. However, he noted that port infrastructure facilities and several other buildings were damaged in the strike.

Vitaly Kim, the head of the Nikolaev administration, said the attack hit an industrial facility, causing a fire that was promptly extinguished.

Unverified footage circulating on social media shows Ukrainian air defenses firing at an unknown target in Odessa Region, with a powerful explosion occurring several seconds later. Local media suggested that the strike could have destroyed a German-supplied Gepard air defense system.

Another unverified clip from Nikolaev Region appears to show a loud explosion and a fire.

On Monday, Russia accused Ukraine of staging a terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge involving two maritime drones which damaged one section of the roadway and killed a married couple, injuring their minor daughter.

In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised retaliation, noting at the time that the Defense Ministry was already preparing necessary proposals.

In the intelligence business, every agent is assigned tasks by his or her handlers. In the case of Agent Zelensky, Ive identified ten obligations that define his relationship with his foreign intelligence masters. Once youve examined each of these, it becomes clear why Zelensky the comedian said one thing, and Zelensky the President did another. What are the true reasons behind the current situation in Ukraine today? What kind of operation has the CIA been running in Ukraine over the course of many years? You will find the answers to these and other questions in Part 2 of my investigative documentary film, Agent Zelensky. Click here to watch Part 1.

In late November 2022, Washington DC admitted that it was unable to account for approximately $20 billion in weapons sent to the Kiev regime. At the time, the newly elected Republican-dominated Congress vowed to conduct impending audits as soon as they took over in January. Officially, the GOP wanted audits to determine and then release information on the massive weapons shipments from the United States to the Kiev regime and how much of that aid was ending up where its supposed to be. Republicans promised to hold the government accountable for spending US taxpayers dollars for the sake of the deeply corrupt Kiev regime.

At the time, major news media, such as Fox News, claimed that the Biden administration inspected only 10% of approximately 22,000 weapons sent to the Kiev regime from late February to November. However, oversight issues also extended to other theaters of operation, such as Taiwan, where approximately $19 billion in weapons sales for Chinas breakaway island province were missing. In late August, a Defense News report claimed there was a $14 billion backlog in weapons sales to Taiwan. However, the November data indicated that the actual number was nearly $19 billion in delayed deliveries, according to The Wall Street Journal.

US government and congressional officials fear the conflict in Ukraine is exacerbating a nearly $19 billion backlog of weapons bound for Taiwan, further delaying efforts to arm the island as tensions with China escalate, the WSJ report claimed. The US has pumped billions of dollars of weapons into Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February, taxing the capacity of the government and defense industry to keep up with a sudden demand to arm Kiev in a conflict that isnt expected to end soon, the authors added in an admission rarely seen in mainstream media.

And yet, close to eight months since promising to conduct the aforementioned impending audits, the Republican-dominated Congress never did anything of sorts, while the so-called aid has swelled to over $170 billion, according to the data released by the...

The Black Sea Grain Initiative, a crucial agreement for maintaining global food price stability, recently suffered a setback with Russias abrupt withdrawal just before the deals expiry. Moscows decision cited unresolved issues with access to the SWIFT network and imports for its agricultural sector. This decision is economically significant and holds considerable geopolitical implications beyond the warring parties.

Understanding the Black Sea Grain Initiative

The Black Sea Grain Initiative was designed as a mitigating response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which threatened to trigger a worldwide food crisis due to the blockade of grain exports. In July 2022, with support and facilitation by the United Nations and Turkey, the deal opened the door to safe grain export from Ukraines Black Sea ports, namely Odesa, Yuzhny, and Chornomorsk, and through the Bosporus Strait. The deal was pivotal in ensuring the stable flow of grain exports, mainly wheat and corn, from two of the worlds leading agricultural producers, Russia and Ukraine.

Importantly, this deal was not merely about food; it also reflected the intricate relations of geopolitical strategy and economic necessity. The safe corridor created by the agreement was not just a pathway for grain but a symbol of delicate cooperation amid a climate of conflict. The agreement also included provisions to accommodate Russian food and fertilizer shipments, acknowledging Russias grievances regarding its export capabilities.

Russia will no longer provide security guarantees for civilian vessels traversing the formerly exempted corridor in the Black Sea, the countrys foreign ministry has announced. Earlier on Monday, the Kremlin stated that it would not extend the Black Sea grain agreement since its own food and fertilizer exports are still being blocked.

In a statement released on Monday, the Foreign Ministry said that this latest decision means the recall of maritime navigation security guarantees, the discontinuation of the maritime humanitarian corridor [and] the reinstatement of the temporarily dangerous area regime in the north-western Black Sea. Russian diplomats went on to accuse Ukraine of using the humanitarian corridor to carry out attacks on Russian targets.

As for the Ukrainian grain shipments that were facilitated by the deal, the ministry claimed that the vast majority of those ended up in Europe, with several countries there allegedly lining their pockets.

The statement pointed out that the whole mechanism, which was launched last summer, had ostensibly been designed to help avert famine in poorer nations.

According to Moscow, key points in the Russia-UN memorandum, which was signed in lockstep with the Black Sea Initiative, have remained unfulfilled to date.

As a result, the ministry explained, Russian bank transactions, insurance and logistics were effectively paralyzed, meaning that Moscow could not sell its own produce and fertilizers on the international market. In one case cited in the statement, a shipment of Russian fertilizers donated free of charge to several African countries was blocked in the EU.

The foreign ministry concluded that in light of all these issues, the agreement no longer makes sense.

Moscow has suggested European nations should allow Ukraine to transfer its grain via their territory and potentially face the wrath of local farmers, or take action and address Russias grievances.

Should this happen, Moscow would be ready to return to the implementation of the agreement, the statement noted.

Earlier on Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced the termination of the deal. He also reiterated Russias readiness to return to the mechanism; however, he added that this would only happen if its interests were respected.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow would suspend participation in this deal, describing the arrangement as a one-sided game all along.

Kievs NATObacked counteroffensive has failed despite the tens of billions of dollars invested in this endeavor as confirmed by US Defense Intelligence Agency Chief of Staff John Kirchhofers candid admission late last week that we are at a bit of a stalemate. Ukraine cant count on much more American aid either after Biden earlier revealed that the US is low on ammo after depleting its stockpiles, which National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan later told CNN will take years to replenish.

It was against this backdrop that the US decided to give Ukraine cluster munitions despite previously describing their alleged use by Russia as a war crime since it simply doesnt have much else left to send. President Putin had earlier assessed that the export of provocative weapons like depleted uranium shells was precisely due to the aforesaid predicament, which he reaffirmed in light of the latest news. Quite clearly, the NATO chiefs race of logistics/war of attrition with Russia isnt going as planned.

The counteroffensive has failed so spectacularly that Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar was forced to inform her audience that reports about Russia going on the offensive near Kupyansk in Kharkov Region are true but sugarcoated it by claiming that Kiev is putting up strong resistance. With Russia regaining the military initiative, it was only a matter of time before Ukraine resorted to terrorism out of desperation to distract from these dynamics, ergo why it...

More and more evidence show the absolute failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. According to a major Western media outlet, around 20% of Kievs [NATO-supplied] weapons were destroyed by the Russian armed forces during the first two weeks of the Ukrainian counterattack. Sources believe that this military disaster led the Ukrainian authorities to pause the operation, given the high casualty rate.

The information was published on July 15 by the New York Times. The article considers the beginning of the counteroffensive to be the first half of June, when the Ukrainian armed forces launched frontline raids from Kherson to Donetsk. Unnamed American and European officials told the NYT that in the first two weeks the moves resulted in the destruction of 20% of Ukrainian armored vehicles including those sent by the West. Earlier, Moscow had already reported 26,000 casualties among Ukrainian soldiers and 3,000 vehicles destroyed in the so-called counteroffensive.

Some Ukrainian special units were hit even more seriously by Russian high-precision strikes. This was the case, for example, of Ukraines 47th Mechanized Brigade, a NATO-trained division, which lost, according to the NYT, more than 30% of its Bradley infantry vehicles in the first half of June. Something similar happened with the 3rd Mechanized Brigade, which lost 32 German Leopard tanks in just one week.

They [Ukrainian Western-supplied weapons, armored vehicles] all burned () Everybody is hoping for a big breakthrough, a Ukrainian soldier identified as Sgt. Igor told journalists.

The Ukrainian weakness is mainly due to the absence of air support and the high presence of Russian minefields on the frontlines. Western tanks became easy targets for Russian artillery and air force, which led to many Ukrainian casualties, thwarting Kievs plans to launch a major counteroffensive in the spring-summer season. In this sense, the military disaster led the Ukrainians to stop the moves and rethink the tactics of war to be used against the Russian forces, according to the American newspaper.

The startling rate of losses dropped to about 10 percent in the ensuing weeks (), preserving more of the troops and machines needed for the major offensive push that the Ukrainians say is still to come. Some of the improvement came because Ukraine changed tactics, focusing more on wearing down the Russian forces with artillery and long-range missiles than charging into enemy minefields and f...

Ukraine war: Russia pulls out of Black Sea grain deal

Standing army?, the diplomat asked with mock surprise, and remarked perhaps half-jokingly, We dont even have a sitting army.

With a population of about 250,000, around that time, the Maldives was perhaps one of the few countries with no fighter planes, combat helicopters, warships, missiles or battle tanksan open invitation for mercenaries and free-lance military adventurers.

As a result, the islands fragile defenses attracted a rash of mercenaries and bounty hunters who tried to take over the country twice once in 1979, and a second time in 1988.

Although both attempts failed, the Indian Ocean-island refused to drop its defenses. It not only initiated a proposal seeking a UN security umbrella to protect the worlds militarily-vulnerable mini states but also backed an international convention to outlaw mercenaries, namely the 1989 International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries

In the US, a mercenary is called a soldier of fortune, which is also the title of a widely circulated magazine, and sub-titled the Journal of Professional Adventurers.

The adventures and mis-adventures of mercenaries were also portrayed in several Hollywood movies, including the Dogs of War, Tears of the Sun, the Wild Geese, the Expendables, and Blood Diamond, among others.

When the Russian Wagner Group hit the front pages of newspapers worldwide, it was described as a private mercenary group fighting in Ukraine.

The New York Times said on June 30 the Wagner Group provided security to African presidents, propped up dictators, violently suppressed rebel uprisings and was accused of torture, murder of civilians and other abuses.

But the failed coup attempt by Wagner threatened, for a moment, the very existence of the Group.

Bradley armoured vehicles. Click to enlarge

The vaunted Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), which was touted as a potential game-changer when Washington agreed to give dozens of the machines to Ukraine earlier this year, has reportedly had trouble staying in action amid fierce resistance from Russian forces during Kievs counteroffensive.

At least 34 Bradleys have now been visually confirmed as having been abandoned, damaged or destroyed, Business Insider reported on Saturday, citing open-source data from military research firm Oryx. The US has supplied as many as 109 BFVs to Ukraine, the outlet added, and they were first deployed on the battlefield in April.

Most of the losses occurred during the early days of the counteroffensive, which began last month, as Ukrainian forces tried to cross territory that was heavily mined by Russian troops, Business Insider said. The latest loss estimate was similar to that in a report on Saturday by the New York Times, which said Ukraines NATO-trained 47th Mechanized Brigade had lost 30% of its Bradleys in just two weeks.

The BFV is a tracked and lightly armored vehicle with the capability to transport about ten soldiers and mount weaponry such as a 25mm cannon and a TOW anti-tank missile launcher.

When the administration of President Joe Biden agreed in January to send BFVs to Kiev, the Pentagon touted the vehicles as tank-killers and claimed they would provide a level of firepower and armor that will bring advantages on the battlefield. US media outlets such as Newsweek cited military experts as saying the Bradleys could become a game-changer, potentially even enabling Ukraine to retake Crimea. Russian officials warned that the BFVs and other Western-supplied weaponry would only prolong the suffering of the Ukrainian people.

With dozens of Bradleys and other hardware being knocked out of action by Russian forces, Ukrainian units have been forced to abandon their armored vehicles and advance slowly on f...

The New York Times (NYT) Jonathan Weisman lost the plot in the article that he wrote in response to Tucker Carlson asking Republican presidential candidates about Ukraine. Titled Tucker Carlson Turns a Christian Presidential Forum Into a Putin Showcase, this self-described veteran journalist wanted to manipulate his audiences perceptions about his much more popular peer by getting them to think that hes shilling for the Russian leader. Instead, Weisman came off as cringey, desperate, and hateful.

Right at the start, the NYTs correspondent declared that Jesus is out. Vladimir V. Putin is in, which was meant to make it seem like the Christians at Fridays Family Leadership conference in Des Moise abandoned their god for a false idol. Nobody who sincerely respects Christians would ever imply what Weisman just did, which suggests that he was so triggered by Tuckers questions about Ukraine that he lost his cool by attacking all of his targets fellow believers as a form of collective punishment.

This wouldnt be the first time that he couldnt control his emotions either since he was demoted in August 2019 after an ethno-misogynist bigotry scandal that he sparked on social media. Weisman therefore has a track record of lashing out against certain identity groups in response to being offended by something that one of their representatives said or did, which extends credence to the abovementioned interpretation of what he intended to convey in that particular passage of his article.

Moving along, Weisman described Tucker as confrontational for reacting to former Vice President Mike Pences criticism of the Biden Administrations supposedly slow dispatch of military aid to Ukraine after he wondered aloud why that Republican presidential candidate is so distressed about this. Theres nothing confrontational in asking why a person running for the countrys top office cares more about a foreign country than their own, however, which is another example of Weismans false framing.

The next one came right after when he wrote that For good measure, Mr. Carlson called Ukraine an American client state, accused Ukraines Jewish leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, of persecuting Christians and strongly indicated Mr. Pence had been conned, despite evidence to the contrary. Weisman wanted his audience to think that Tucker was just peddling conspiracy theories, but the reality is that its this NYT correspondent who was yet again attempting to manipulate his audience...

Julian Assange is a journalist whos been imprisoned for doing journalism on war crimes, by an empire that claims to defend journalists and oppose war crimes.

Assange and his persecution expose the giant plot holes in every story the western power structure tells about itself. About its love of free speech and the free press. About its opposition to tyranny. About its wars and why it wages them. Assange exposes the empires true face.

And in that sense its interesting that the empire made the decision to jail and silence Assange, since in doing so it exposed its own tyranny and criminality far more than WikiLeaks could have ever hoped to.

Assange said, It is the role of good journalism to take on powerful abusers. If you accept this as true, you must also accept that there are precisely zero good journalists anywhere in the western mass media, and that Assange is the greatest journalist who has ever lived.

The Western alliance has sunk tens of billions of dollars worth of weaponry into Ukraine over the past year, including everything from outdated 1960s junk to the latest high-tech systems. Russian forces have managed to capture some of this equipment in fierce battles with Ukrainian forces and mercs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin doesnt rule out the reverse engineering of NATO equipment captured in Ukraine in cases where doing so could improve Russias own weapons.

Theres the expression reverse engineering. Well see what happens, because modern equipment we have it, and its very effective, lets take the T-90 Proryv tank for example, which is the best tank in the world without any exaggeration. But the enemy also produces modern equipment. And if theres an opportunity to look inside and see if theres something there that we can use, well, why not? Putin said in an interview with Russian television on Sunday.

The United States and its European and Asian allies have committed over $94.5 billion in military aid to Ukraine over the past 18 months, far outstripping the size of Russias entire defense budget of $56.6 billion. These expenditures, which included the delivery of some of NATOs most cutting-edge, battle-tested equipment, have nevertheless failed to enable Ukrainian forces to puncture Russian defensive lines in the Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson.

NATO powers have committed everything from Leopard 2 tanks (including some of their latest modifications) to Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, Stryker armored fighting vehicles, ATACMS rocket launchers, Caesar howitzers, Storm Shadow cruise missiles, NASAMS and Patriot air defense systems, with some countries sending virtually their entire stockpiles of some of these weapons. NATO has also sent a range of modern man-portable weapons, including Panzerfaust and Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and a range of drones, jamming equipment, radar, engineering and other equipment.

Some of these weapons, including everything from Javelins and Stingers to Bradleys and Leopards, have been captured by Russian forces, with some equipment now serving with Russian forces.

By now, the Marxist Biden Regime (which is 95 percent Zionist or Bolshevik-Zionist) has wholly succeeded in depleting the USAs stock of arms and ammunitions, by using the ploy of the Ukraine War and by collapsing the supply chains (notably from China) so that the USA will soon have great difficulty in replenishing its stocks of arms and ammunition.

In the plan of the satanic CHABAD, the age of the Antichrist is intended to coincide with the genocide of most Christians.

by Patrick OCarroll (henrymakow.com) 

In 1968, Gen. Jan Sejna tipped off Czech leader Alexander Dubcek that Russia was about to invade Czechoslovakia; then Sejna promptly defected to the USA (via the US Consulate in Trieste-Italy) to become one of the most prominent Eastern Bloc functionaries to ever defect during the entirety of the staged cold war. Sejna later became a counterintelligence analyst for the Central Lack-Of-Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley VA.

In his 1982 book We Will Bury You, Jan Sejna warned that communism was soon about to fake its own death by collapsing the Warsaw Pact but also by ultimately disarming the USA and NATO. In a way, Sejna was proven right, but with some reservations.

He was RIGHT about communism faking its own death but not going away: He was also RIGHT about communism disarming the USA:

Recently, analyst Steve Quayle highlighted this alarming fact.

But he was WRONG about true communism: Britains Marxist Fabian Society in London has been a key organization directing the spread of communism throughout the world since 1884.
