About the refuges and warmongers

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.
This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.
Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.
It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

In Biden’s case today, these are the actions of a desperado, a war-loving bumbling puppet who is over or under or out of his head as he feigns outrage at the killing of three soldiers who were placed in a spot where their lives were at risk because they were cogs in an imperial war machine.

Pawns in the game. A very dangerous game in which the Zionists leaders of Israel are as desperate as Biden and whose secret operatives are no doubt plotting a desperate scheme to try to expand the war. Who is jerking whose chain may be questionable, but the dogs of war are barking.

Rheinmetall plans massive expansion of ammunition production in Germany
The arms manufacturer Rheinmetall is planning to significantly increase its production of 155-millimeter artillery ammunition. A new ammunition factory is being built in Unterlüß, Lower Saxony, and the German government is examining legal relaxations to allow production in stock.


The Germans are getting ready to go to war with the Russians again, the European vassals want to be beaten again, masochists.

For Europe and NATO, a Russian Invasion Is No Longer Unthinkable
Amid crumbling U.S. support for Ukraine and Donald Trump’s rising candidacy, European nations and NATO are making plans to take on Russia by themselves.

Lies about Pearl Harbor


Under Friedman’s direction, the SIS cryptanalysts, and primarily the people from the Rowlett team, by 1940 achieved, with the help of their mathematical “magic,” truly great success in deciphering Japan’s secret correspondence. The main success was the massive breaking of a system codenamed Purple, a new Japanese cipher machine for diplomatic correspondence. And although the corre- spondence of the Japanese armed forces was decoded much worse and slower, the volume and efficiency of decrypting the Japanese Foreign Ministry materials gave intelligence analysts every reason to believe that the U.S. authorities were fully aware of plans and intentions of a potential enemy.

In particular, shortly before the disaster at Pearl Harbor, such an episode took place. Here it is reconstructed according to the per- sonal testimony of its participant, military linguist John Hurt (John Hurt. “The Japanese Problem in the Signal Intelligence Service”. NSA William F. Friedman Collection, Document A58132. ), who translated those encrypted telegrams from the Japanese For- eign Ministry that were decoded by Friedman’s analysts.

In November 1941, 10 days before the attack, while Hurt and Friedman were visiting a mutual friend in a sanatorium, the cryp- tographer asked the interpreter how he assessed the current state of relations between the United States and Japan from decrypted dis- patches. Hurt replied that the negotiations between Tokyo and Washington seemed to be over. In turn, he asked Friedman what, in his opinion, such an escalation of relations meant. Friedman an- swered very briefly it meant war. Shocked by these words, Hurt emotionally asked the cryptographer, who was much closer to the high authorities, whether the United States was ready for such an escalation of hostility. “I hope so,” Friedman replied…

About what happened to Friedman on the day of the disaster, on Sunday, December 7 1941, his wife Elizebeth told this (Ronald Clark. The Man Who Broke Purple: The Life of Colonel William F. Friedman,
Who Deciphered the Japanese Code in World War II. Boston, MA: Little Brown, 1977):

Friedman himself, hearing the news of the Pearl Harbor attack on the radio, at first found it difficult to believe. For some while, his wife recalls, he could do no more than pace back and forth across the room, muttering to himself over and over again: “But they knew, they knew, they knew.”

But the most striking thing about this dramatic story is that a decade and a half later, William Friedman managed to change his views on what happened literally exactly the opposite. He wrote an analytical work where he very competently, authoritatively and ar- gued began to prove that in fact “they did NOT know.” Because this matter, you see, is far from straightforward..

Blood-flavored bananas

Blood-flavored bananas

Once upon a time, there was a company called United Fruit Company. It became famous for the fact that it began to import bananas to the U.S. en masse. Back in the mid-19th century, bananas were in America like black caviar - expensive, prestigious, and eaten only by millionaires. But "United Fruit" built a hundred ships with refrigerators, and flooded the entire American market with bananas that cost 2 cents. Behind the scenes of this action there were some pretty cool squabbles, and American buyers didn't know about them. For example, in 1911, the president of Honduras gave United Fruit all the best banana plantations. But competitors from the company "Cuyamel" (also Americans) did not slumber: they overthrew the president, replacing him with their puppet, who gave the banana plantations to them.

In 1928, Colombian banana pickers demanded that United Fruit give them at least one day off a week. The Colombian police, paid for with company money, were brought in to quell the strike, and they killed up to 2,000 people. The rest of them shut up and went quickly to pick bananas. In 1929, United Fruit bought its main competitor, Cuyamel, and began controlling 60% of banana exports to the US. They murdered union leaders in South America, bribed politicians and police, and paid almost no taxes anywhere. In some countries (like Costa Rica or Colombia) it was United Fruit that was the main power, not the local government.

In 1953, Guatemalan President Arbenz turned over United Fruit's unused banana plantations to local impoverished peasants, and offered compensation. The company demanded 25 times as much money; it was sent packing. Then United Fruit simply ordered a coup at a similar price: negotiated a deal with the CIA, and financed a military invasion of Guatemala. The main motivation was that bananas on the shelves for Americans should not rise in price, they have become a favorite treat of millions. CIA mercenaries overthrew Arbenz, and put dictator Armas on the throne. This led to a 36-year civil war and the subsequent deaths of 200,000 people to Guatemala. But bananas didn't go up in price for Americans. It was a successful democratization, one to behold.

Since then, all the presidents of Central and South America were afraid to make a sound, and gave bananas for nothing. "United Fruit paid the banana pickers a pittance and did not give a penny to the budgets of the banana republics. For the slightest dissatisfaction the pickers were killed and the corpses were dumped into the sea. The American public happily bought bananas at a discount. But times have changed. "United Fruit was told it had lost its fucking mind and was bribing officials in Honduras to lower taxes on banana exports. In 1975, the military overthrew the company's protégé in Guatemala, dictator Lopez Arellano. In the same year, the head of the company, Eli Black (the company was by then called United Brands), threw himself out of a skyscraper in New York.

The company was quietly renamed Chiquita. And I still see bananas from this company in our supermarkets. Somehow everything has already been forgotten: how this corporation overthrew presidents, introduced slave labor, and people died by the hundreds of thousands because of it: we owe it the valuable term "banana republic".

They're lucky here: bananas pumped full of blood don't taste like blood.
They are so nice and sweet.

Genocide of Russians


Ex-NATO representative in Moscow called for genocide of Russians
Ukraine should not shy away from "aggression" against Russia, even if it involves the destruction of the population, this statement was made by the former chief of staff of the NATO military mission in Moscow, retired U.S. Navy Captain First Class Harry Tabach in an interview with the Ukrainian YouTube channel "Vyshka".
"Aggression can only be sundered by even greater aggression," he stated.

Tabach cited as "examples" the "extermination of half the population" of Germany to defeat it during World War II and the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the Americans.


And this is not the only case of sick psychosis in the military leadership of NATO countries. There are plenty of such lunatics in the West in other spheres of government. This is a very dangerous indicator. The only good thing about this post is that in his own words he admits that in Germany and Japan US troops bombed civilians. I should add: not military factories, as it is done under the rules of war.
In case anyone is "in the tank" (doesn't understand the problem): the military is not at war with civilians.
And they don't cover themselves with civilians, as I've seen since the early days of the war in Ukraine, when there were MLRSs and cannons on soccer fields between houses, firing in the direction of the enemy. And they are not shelling their own population to intimidate. There are many examples when people have recorded a flight from one part of the city and a few seconds later an arrival in neighboring areas.

Shit-faced commanders who shit themselves to death


We continue to talk about the great European values. From the era of Peter the Great, let us move on to the times of Nicholas I. Namely, to the Crimean or Eastern War. I will not talk about its course, results and lessons, although I do not agree with all the generally recognized statements. I will write about something else, about Balaklava assholes.

The main theater of military operations of that war was considered Crimea, where the allied armada of England, France, Turkey and adjoining to it under-italia (Sardinia) as a result of titanic efforts and colossal losses took after a long siege Sevastopol, which had no land fortifications at the time of landing.

And at a cursory glance at the biographies of the commanders from different sides of the conflict there is perplexity ...

Many of them did not survive that war ... But there is one nuance ... Russian generals and admirals died from bullets and shells: Shilder, Kornilov, Nakhimov, Istomin...

Allied...

Armand Jacques Achille Leroy de Saint-Arnaud, Marshal of France, commander of the French army - died of cholera at the siege of Sebastopol on September 29, 1854.

Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, Field Marshal, commander of the British troops - died of cholera at the siege of Sevastopol on June 28, 1855.

Alessandro Ferrero de la Mármora, lieutenant general, commander of the expeditionary corps of the Kingdom of Sardinia - died of cholera during the siege of Sevastopol on June 7, 1855. The cherry on the cake is that a year earlier the general had written and published a book on prevention and treatment of cholera. It is terrible to imagine its content...

Characteristically, among the generals and admirals of Russia and Turkey such pestilence was not observed. Well, they did not shit themselves to death.


Why? Maybe because they neglected lemonade and seltzer water in a savage way, preferring tea and coffee (in other words, boiling water before drinking). Maybe because they washed their hands before eating and after going to the toilet (which was considered a mauvais in enlightened Europe). Maybe they used their asses for their intended purpose... But the fact remains

#USA #us #american #britain #british #war-crimes #WWII #WW2 #war #bombings #germany #Dresden #history #german #vassalage #memorial

In Dresden, a memorial inscription about the bombing of the city by the American and British Air Forces in February 1945 was removed.



Then between 100 and 300 thousand city residents died.

The documented number of completely destroyed residential buildings, including apartment buildings, exceeded 78 thousand buildings, and the population of the city before the bombing, including refugees, was at least 900 thousand people (according to other sources, 1.2 million).

The Americans themselves explained the ruthlessness of the bombing by the fact that after the war the city passed into the area of ​​responsibility of Moscow, which would have to spend significant funds on its restoration.

So this is exactly what the people of Dresden should forget.

Ukrainian Soldiers Lament Russian Fighters’ Bunker Busting Glide Bomb Strikes Open ‘Gates of Hell’ on Their Fortifications


Interviewing frontline personnel from artillery brigades, including those from better equipped units using newly delivered Western howitzers, the Washington Post previously highlighted that units had been forced to reduce ammunition expenditure by 80-90 percent, and sometimes more, previously firing 50 and at times as many as 90 but now cutting this to just 10-20 rounds. This has only been worsened by Russia’s growing ability to provide air support and to launch tactical missile strikes as its inventories have grown and Ukrainian air defences have dwindled. Ukrainian casualties were already reported by sources on both sides to be extreme even before the depletion of its defences left its frontline personnel more vulnerable, with life expectancies at some frontline positions in 2023 being as low as four hours while conscript units, sent into high intensity combat with little training, were known to have casualty rates as high as 80-90 percent.

The usual level of Ukrainian and NATO planning


"Nowhere to retreat": the officer of the AFU came to rage because of the order of Zelensky

The Ukrainian leadership has belatedly ordered a large-scale construction of fortifications, Colonel Viktor Kivilyuk, an analyst of the Center for Defense Strategies, said in an interview with the Ukrainian publication Kyiv Independent.
"
"We have been sitting there (at the current positions of the AFU. - Editor's note) for six months, and suddenly the supreme commander-in-chief (Vladimir Zelensky. - Editor's note) wakes up and proposes to build fortifications. Where was he all this time?" - complained the expert.
According to Kiviliuk, the pre-prepared defense lines are now of "critical" importance for Ukraine. At the same time, according to the newspaper, the AFU soldiers often complain that the command is unable to prepare even ordinary trenches for retreating from forward positions, let alone more developed defenses.

An artillery officer on the front line complained to journalists about the lack of men and resources to prepare fortified positions. According to him, the Ukrainian command did not build any fortifications for soldiers on the second line of defense and did not bother to prepare villages for defensive battles.

"When the Russians storm the trenches, our guys have nowhere to retreat and nowhere to take up positions; they are forced to dig trenches under machine gun and sniper fire, to say nothing of artillery shelling," the AFU officer said.
Earlier, the Washington Post reported that uncertainty prevails in the AFU on all fronts, and morale is weakening. Vladimir Zelensky said in late November that he discussed the creation of fortifications on the main defensive lines: Avdiivka, Maryinka, Kupyansko-Limanska directions, as well as in the regions bordering Russia and Belarus. According to him, the development of defense will henceforth become a priority issue for Kiev.

For the last 60 years the United States has wasted money and the blood of its youth in fighting guerrillas, insurgents, goat herder and camel jockeys.

At no time has the West squared up against a peer military with comparable, if not superior, air power, electronic warfare and combined arms experience, until now. The United States and its NATO partners created a de facto NATO army in Ukraine and naively assumed they could go toe-to-toe with Russia. I fear that the U.S. politicians and military leaders still fail to grasp that the “war” in Ukraine really was a special military operation. Russia did not unleash its full capabilities. The Russian General Staff, following the guidance received from President Putin, took great pains to avoid massive civilian casualties. Russia left a majority of Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure in place. Russia declined to destroy Ukraine and the West’s ISR platforms and satellite systems. Those actions are what you would see if Russia went on a total war footing.

About european vassalage


But Russia has been artificially gimped by the U.S. for over 100 years, through a variety of economic terrorism in the form of endless sanctions, embargoes, and everything in between. They continually try to keep it “down and out” and marginalized like they did to the Chinese in the 1800s, primarily because without such artificial restrictions, Russia’s vector is always to emerge at the top of the economic heap.

The point is that, only such an oppressive regimen of subversion and sabotage can keep Russia “down and out,” as Lord Ismay once said. If this were to cease, it would mean the end of the West, because the entire financial ‘house of cards’ the West relies on is in some ways a fragile mirage which relies on this constant “unfair play.” Were the other superpowers allowed to spread their wings, the laws of the zero-sum-game would necessitate the loss of every advantage of the West, leading to its unraveling.

To understand how exactly that would happen, one must understand the infamous ‘exorbitant privilege’ of the U.S. dollar, and how it relies on the artificial suppression of other competing currencies. And most importantly, how it’s responsible for the entirety of American exceptionalism, military and economic profligacy, etc. It grants the overpowering ability to print infinite money without incurring inflation, which makes the U.S. nearly invulnerable.

This is why Russia can never be allowed to have its say or ‘freedom’ to act as it wants, be it economic or otherwise. For instance, the freedom to have economic sovereignty in regard to Europe—i.e. Nord Stream, etc.

That’s why no “understanding” can ever really be reached. It would not be allowed by the global financial elite which controls the West

Europe has now become the battleground for this clash of differing world systems. Everything the U.S. has hangs by a deceptively thin thread. The moment they let their foot off the necks of European citizens, removing their blindfolds in the process, a cascade effect would unleash across Europe. No one in their right mind would allow the continued stationing of American troops in occupied Europe, which would have rolling consequences on virtually everythin.

About NATO provocations


Q: "I have been following the situation in Ukraine since 2014, but not too closely. I have been following very closely since the end of February 2022. Because of the latter, I think I know the general trends related to the development of SMO since it started. However, what I missed was the year before SMO, i.e., since let' say early 2021 .. "
...
A: " ... Russia likely took all these build ups and provocations very seriously, and saw the writing on the wall that if it didn’t ‘cure’ the Ukrainian sickness once and for all, it would only escalate until Russia was totally surrounded by NATO aggression.

But guess what? The West only continued to escalate. In November (2021) the U.S. brought warships into the Black Sea.
It was a clear show of force and attempt to intimidate Russia. Given all the endless escalations from the Ukrainian side in Donbass, and the increasing rhetoric and ‘shows of force’ of NATO in the Black Sea and elsewhere, Russia began to see the writing on the wall and, as I said before, likely decided that the conflict had to be ended once and for all.

Of course Russia still refused to be the one to pull the trigger first, so after a force build up, they waited. It is then well known that Ukraine began massively shelling Donbass in January and February 2022, as recorded by the OSCE:

And as they say, the rest is history."

- Why do you have the call sign Fritz?
- Oh... My friend Halychanyn first called me Fritz in 2016. And it stuck. I have never hidden the fact that I am half German. You know, I have a family of "anti-Soviet" people: some were in the Hitler Youth, others in the UPA. And they all met in Siberia, and my mother was born from this love. That's how it happened. In principle, I am quite boring and methodical when it comes to doing something. I think I live up to my pseudonym somewhere.

And you wonder why the Russkies call them ‘Wehrmacht’ on the radios.

Chalk this up as one more massive war crime by the United States and NATO. They are accessories to murder. I have summarized the timeline presented in the Funke/Kujat article if you do not have time to read it in its entirety. I also am republishing their piece for your convenience. All of the death and destruction experienced in Ukraine and Russia could have been avoided.
...
March 15-19, 2022 — Only a month after the outbreak of the war, Ukraine and Russia agreed on the broad outlines of a peace settlement. Ukraine promised not to join NATO and not to allow military bases of foreign powers on its territory, while Russia promised in return to recognize Ukraine’s territorial integrity and to withdraw all Russian occupation troops. Special arrangements were made for the Donbas and Crimea.”
...
April 5, 2022 — NATO was firm in its position that continuing the war is preferred to a cease-fire and negotiated settlement: “For some in NATO, it’s better for Ukrainians to keep fighting and dying than to achieve a peace that comes too soon or at too high a price for Kiev and the rest of Europe.”

Sensing the West’s hesitancy and weakness, Israel may attempt to desperately spark a wider conflagration by increasing the amplitude of their falseflags—perhaps another USS Liberty-like incident or unilateral strikes on Iran meant to goad them into a response that would necessarily trigger a U.S. intervention. It’s my belief that this will be the chief danger to watch as, gripped by the terminal phase of its eschatological madness, Israel will be at its most unpredictable and dangerous to humanity at large.

An anatomy of war

29 Oct 2023 - 7:17

By Costas Lambos

claslessdemocracy@gmail.com,

War is the father of everything and the king of all things, which makes some of them gods and some men, that is, some of them makes some free and others slaves.

Heraclitus

War is the state of armed conflict between two or more rival national/state power entities and coalitions for the purpose of subduing the opponent(s). In other words, the armed imposition of the power of the victor over the vanquished. In essence, war is nothing but the violent conflict between powers for the redistribution of power over geographical, wealth, economic, strategic and social dimensions through conquest. War is an act of power conquest, expansion and enslavement that was completed as a practical policy with the emergence of the capitalist mode of production in the form of colonialism, imperialism and globalisation. Since then, imperialist wars became the norm and peace between belligerents, i.e. imperialist peace, the exception, the interlude in preparation for the next wars.

Heraclitus defined war as 'the father and king of everything'[1]. By replacing the word father and/or king with the word power, the two basic concepts that symbolize authority, we understand how consciously and deliberately those who deify war and try to present it both as the generator and creator of everything are misleading, when in fact it has been, throughout the course of human history, the destroyer of everything, making the few rulers 'free' and the many subjugated slaves. On the contrary, defensive wars of national liberation, as well as social revolutions, differ from the classical war of conquest and enslavement, because they seek the exact opposite result, namely, liberation from violent occupation and slavery, and contribute creatively to the progress of societies and humanity. Paleoanthropology, archaeology, history and other related sciences teach us that, during the millions of years of egalitarian societies that ensured the survival of the human species, any conflicts resulted in the merging and peaceful coexistence of races and human groups. They also teach us that organized conquering and destructive wars appeared simultaneously with the emergence of de jure individual patriarchal ownership of land and people, of monogamous, but only on the part of the mother, family, organized authoritarian state and organized religions. Since then, patriarchal private property is expressed as patriarchal power and transformed into class state power which is identified with conquering war, as a way of survival of power and enrichment, instead of organizing the production of necessary goods. Thus human history becomes the history of wars with the interludes of 'peace' for reconstruction and the organisation of new wars, until we reach the 20th century with the two great inhuman and destructive world wars.

The Third, modern, World War III between the would-be rulers of humanity is being waged, in installments and by proxies, as we all experience it daily as a show through the brainwashers, resulting in great confusion as to who is on the right side of history and who is not. However, history has already conclusively established that peoples, working societies, the forces of labour, science and civilisation, whether as 'warriors' or as citizens, are always on the 'wrong side of history', while the economically powerful, the obscurantists and the rulers are on the 'right' side.

Loony parrots, loquacious 'experts', war-mongers or so-called 'peace-lovers' and crisis analysts further obfuscate the issue because they intervene in the debate either as spokesmen for ideologies, or as direct or indirect employees of the global conglomerate producing and trading weapons, defence and armament systems, acting in their own way as dealers in war. The verbose and allegedly scientific analyses are limited to a superficial approach to the facts and situations of war, with the result that the causes and consequences of war are concealed, which, as a rule, result in the vulgar notion that it is human nature that is to blame for wars, and not the excesses of the capitalist mode of production and the unequal distribution of wealth. War is a policy of interests.

The reality is that war, as Clausewitz taught us, is nothing more than the 'continuation of (peaceful) politics by other means', which ends in 'war by other means', in the form of a timeless vicious circle, which, in repeated historical cycles, reproduces itself by devouring humanity and its civilisation. Ultimately, however, both war and peace between belligerents are nothing but a violent economic operation subject to the laws of cost-benefit analysis in which the winner(s) take all and the loser(s) lose everything, including their identity and freedoms, to end up as inmates of 'humanitarian' handouts and vassals of the 'development aid' of the victors.

In order to understand the essence of the power that suffers from war-madness, precisely because it is in incurable insecurity and considers that its survival depends on the subjugation or even the disappearance of all other powers, we must identify its cause. Warlike power does not stem from human nature, as some capitalist ideologues claim, who see war as a universal inherited natural aspect of human nature. On the contrary, human nature is a social systemic, not a transcendent physical, quantity that is an imprint of the particular social system in which each person is born and lives. No human being who is born unable to survive on his own and survives thanks to the care of his parents and his society has no reason to be conflictual, because he understands that only in conditions of peaceful coexistence and cooperation can he survive, develop and be happy. In conclusion, warlike power derives exclusively from the right of a minority to exercise the right of private property over the means of production and consequently over the way in which the socially produced wealth is distributed, which results in power over the social whole and over the wealth-producing resources of the society in question and of humanity as a whole. The conclusion that ultimately emerges is that war is nothing but the violent conflict mainly between large private property in the form of class state powers aimed at reproducing and perpetuating economic and social inequalities.

Now, why all those who talk and analyse war as a cause are bypassing and obscuring the basic cause of war, which is private property, does not require one to be a philosopher to understand it, as long as one has the simple logic of things and of course the courage to express it. And this despite and against the authoritarian fear that in many ways permeates our daily life, even in the form of pressure to take a stand for one war or another, rather than condemning war as a systemic phenomenon and consequently the system that generates and nourishes inhuman and destructive imperialist wars and reconstitutes itself for new ones, with imperialist peace as a respite.

In this vicious circle of capital, what is at stake is not a certain imperialist peace, but the abolition of the main and fundamental cause of all wars. This was the aim of the establishment of the EEC which evolved into the European Union, the most important thing that has happened in history so far, which is waiting to be completed. Neo-Germanism slowed down the evolution of the EU , through the divergence, instead of the economic and social convergence of its member states into United States of Europe. The result of this not at all accidental development was to give neo-Americanism the opportunity to reconstitute itself, after the voluntary collapse of the Soviet Bloc, into an aspiring world hegemon with China and Russia as its main rivals, which instead of taking a step forward towards direct/classical democracy 'returned peacefully' from state monopoly capitalism to the market capitalism of oligarchies and authoritarianism. Thus we have arrived at capitalist barbarism which is increasingly taking the form of a devastating nuclear conflict, even a biological war between East and West, which will decimate the world population and return humanity to primitive conditions.

The first and main victim of this conflict is the European Union and the other peoples of the world, who are waiting for the European Union to become aware of its historic mission, to formulate its European identity and to take the next step towards a post-capitalist European society. THE EU, despite the weaknesses and reactionary anchors of its leading group, which is the greatest economic, social and cultural power on the planet, could, by freeing itself from the chariot of Americanism, become the moral force that would open wide the way to an anti-capitalist transcendence in the form of a global peaceful revolution that would lead all humanity to a better world, which today, in the 21st century more than ever before is necessary, possible and inevitable.

But since the leaderships of the countries/members of the European Union are nothing but the donor powers of the economic oligarchies, this development is not their choice, because their narrow economic interests are intertwined with those of American hegemonism. That is why history will sleep until the forces of labour, science and civilisation understand that the further progress of Europe and of humanity as a whole, is identified with their own awakening and their movement from the position of the object of the power of capital that consumes the ideological garbage of neoliberalism, to the position of the subject of history that will produce and implement Politics for Man, his society and his civilization and not for profit and war.

The abolition of war, therefore, cannot be achieved through our fanaticism, nor through papal prayers and the excommunications of obscurantist priesthoods, but through the abolition of private property over the means of production, which will change the philosophy and architecture of the constitution of societies towards direct democratic/class societies from the local to the universal level. Science and modern technology have formed all those necessary conditions for the passage to the civilization of social equality and peaceful coexistence of all the peoples of the planet, as long as we liberate science and technology from capital, before it finally destroys the earth's biosphere.

If wars are not accidental, nor 'God-given' events, but planned, by capital, the powers that be and their political servants, destructive actions designed to perpetuate the social inequalities that make a few their masters and the many their slaves. Then the abolition of wars cannot be accidental, but a conscious and planned affair of the forces of labour, science and civilisation, starting from their final and irrevocable decision to abolish private property over the means of production and to organise their lives on the principle of proportional social equality, without masters and slaves. All the rest is intellectual aggrandizement...

The head of Lockheed-Martin is on the line:

"It makes no sense to keep Israel from a military operation. What is the point? In further developing our industrial complex, which should account for more than 2% of GDP. There are conflicts that need to be resolved with weapons - and we are ready to provide those weapons"

With regard to the war in Ukraine, a similar logic applies. And with regard to a future war in Taiwan, too.

Members of 13 private military companies (PMCs) from Europe and members of nine foreign paramilitary proxy formations are fighting against Russia in Ukraine, nearly 800 mercenaries from 35 countries have been installed (c) FSB Director Bortnikov

Actually, this is not news, Western PMCs have been active in Ukraine since March 2014.

...
Nevertheless, the main event of the week lies not in this movement of our troops.
The main event of the week is not this movement of our troops, but a magnificent strategic decision, thanks to which our planners have once again circled the Ukrainian armed forces around their finger.

In order to stop the advance of our troops on this section of the front, which, let me remind you, is more than 100 kilometers long, the Ukrainians consistently drove here about 80,000 reinforcements - in fact, everything they had.
This migration began, if you remember, more than a month ago, when ours suddenly began to move forward at the same time under Sinkovka on the northern flank and, having forced the Zherebets River, created the Karamzinovsky bridgehead. Then successively occupied the important station Kislovka, village Novoselovskoe, Krahmalnoe, came to the outskirts of Yampolovka and consolidated on the outskirts of Torskoye.
During the whole of August and September, the Ukrs tried desperately to stop this "Russian onslaught". And now, finally, Syrskyy (the Ukropsy "brakes" were commanded by this very figure) reported that he had managed to stop another attack. Or rather, in reality "almost stopped", while virtually he announced this a month ago.

But as we can see, his statement reached the front only after more than a month. And that's good, usually they don't reach the front at all - Syrsky has long since become a champion in virtual victories and at the same time the main loser of the AFU, nicknamed "Bloody" by the "Ukrops" themselves because of the monstrous losses that accompany all his military adventures.
There is such a parable in tongues and at the same time an ironclad rule - if you want a guaranteed death, go to fight under Syrsky, he always knows how to most effectively endanger his soldiers.

You will laugh, but exactly that (another complete asshole) happens this time. No sooner had Syrsky enjoyed his rare victory, than the sly-ass Russians made a mess of it again, bombing the main crossings of the Oskol River. And, thus, the 200 thousandth group of the Ugroes, accumulated on the section from Kremenna to Kupyansk, found itself trapped on the right bank of the Oskol.

And now look carefully at the map - in the widest place, next to the Torskiy protrusion, whose task, I remind you, is to control the most important crossing of the river Zherebets, which opens the road to Liman, Izyum, etc., the Ukrop bridgehead is about 30 kilometers. But for the most part, the width of this Ukropean bridgehead is between 10 and 20 km.

To savor the moment, we will pause for a moment (for those who have not yet guessed) and plunge for a moment into the past. It is believed that the highest concentration of means of defeat was achieved by the Red Army during the Battle of Kursk - there at Prokhorovka ours concentrated more than 90 artillery barrels per kilometer.
So on this site the concentration of means of defeat is even higher. Artillery (and, please note, no problem 30+), mortar, MLRS and on the sweet full domination of our aviation with FAB-500 so beloved to Ukrainians. And rockets with geraniums - they can't go anywhere either.

You know, what kind of a moron one has to be to consistently drive brigade after brigade, week after week, into this trap and beat oneself joyfully not even in the chest, but in the forehead. To win one informational victory after another, while all the obvious signs that you were being openly lured into the rat trap were there?
It is really necessary to be, I beg your pardon, a complete ukr, to get into the noose and have fun, have fun until you fall down.

For example, our troops mowed down all the nearby warehouses on the left bank of the Oskol (the Ukropean bank of the Oskol), but at the same time they defiantly did not touch any railroad junctions or bridges (another salute to our stupid couch, especially to those who taught our General Staff how to live correctly).
That is, for any Russian infantry lieutenant it was clear that on the right bank of the Oskol lies a big "rat trap". To go there, at least, is foolish - you will be covered with a copper basin. But what is clear to Russian lieutenants, Ukrainian generals do not care.

I would like to emphasize that, to all appearances, this is not even a political necessity, but exactly the worst kind of cretinism in its extreme stage.
Judge for yourself - political necessity in the interests of the West dictates that the Ukrainians die slowly and in a dosed manner in order to hold out until the election of bloodsucking grandfather Biden, and then they can even hang themselves demonstratively with the entire AFU - the Americans won't give a damn. And the most reasonable thing to do under these conditions would be to withdraw behind the Oskol and defend ourselves severely. They had no need to hold the right bank. But the Ukrps are not such people as to give up any of their galushka without a fight - after all, this is what they sell to the West. The Ukrainians never retreat and never give up any settlement without a fight. Their whole strategy is based on this - they turn every settlement into a fortress. This is their favorite trick, which they sell to the West - look how stupid and stubborn we are, not a step back. We have no retreat as a maneuver. We don't care how many soldiers and civilians die, the main thing is that we will inflict at least some losses on the Russians and at the same time turn the cities into ruins so that they don't get them - let them, ha-ha, rebuild.

And we as bahmutil, so we will bahmutil (yes, my dears, after the epic bummer in Artemovsk there appeared such a term - means, who did not understand, to drown in shit seventy thousand of their best fighters and then on their graves incendiary dance gopak, magically turning this horror into an informational victory).
But dumb and stupid people simply physically cannot calculate at least one or two moves ahead.
And it is quite an impossible task for them not only to foresee other options for the development of events, but also to come up with a plan B for each of the options (this is quantum math, only quants and Russians can do it).

Ukrainians do not realize that time after time, demonstrating their trademark stubbornness, they become very predictable. We don't know how to attack, so we just bump our foreheads against the wall, and the result is that the Russians bent, retreated a kilometer. How great it is, we defeated the Russians by a kilometer, what a wonderful informational victory it is.
But they don't care about that, because they are stupid, so the Uks dance the gopak and keep on going. And until today, the main symbol of the stupidity of the Uriks have been the fire sacks under Rabotino, Staromayorskoye, and Kleshcheevka, which they chewed out for themselves and, most importantly, sat there month after month under the astonished gaze of the whole world.

But at the Oskol bridgehead, the Ukrps have outdone themselves - as it turns out, Ukropean stupidity is as limitless as the universe. At least for now we do not see any limits.

About NATO


NATO is a club of forced-voluntary buyers of American-made weapons. This is what NATO's lauded standards are, which Ukraine must meet before it is deemed worthy of an invitation to NATO: to meet these standards, its weapons must be mostly American-made. This is also the reason for all these small and seemingly futile wars, from Serbia to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria: they were demonstrations of the power of American weapons, with the additional goal of using up arms and ammunition so that the Pentagon and the rest of NATO would be forced to re-purchase them. The geopolitical reasons for these military conflicts are merely explanations of intentions in hindsight. For example, between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. dropped more than 2.5 million tons of bombs on Laos during 580,000 sorties, the equivalent of a B-52 bomber's full complement of ammunition every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. What was the geopolitical background? No one even remembers if there ever was one. But these bombs were coming to the end of their shelf life, and they had to be used up to justify a new defense order to keep the money flowing in the right direction.

Swedish authorities report that the gas leak from the Nord Stream 2 hole in the Swedish Economic Zone is increasing in strength.

It seems as if the Russians are pumping gas into the pipeline.

As long as there is gas, it won’t be possible to get close to investigate.
