"Innocence Lost?"

France had one to lose it? First time I hear about it. This is Liberation yesterday ejaculating after Macron's "grandiose" speech about "countering Russian threat". 

What a collection of cuckolds. Here is Dmitry responding:

But if France insists, it too can disappear, really fast, instead of protracted suicide which should dispose of France as a unified country and nation somewhere by 2050 (give and take). I speak about it in my today's video. 

On A Lighter Note...

 ... meme. Good one))

Zakharova refuted information that her boss called Western journalists imbeciles. Nobody called these dumbfucks imbeciles, clarified Zakharova. 

Very true, I would say))

Meanwhile Roskosmos continues to publish the work of its satellites. Now it is latest Resurs-P. Dallas, TX. 

Just for shits and giggles. Make your own conclusions. Especially against the background of this really heavy blow. 

Пособниками и международными спонсорами террористов Медведев назвал «высших должностных лиц стран НАТО». Он счел, что риторика и действия президента Франции Эммануэля Макрона, а главное – его санкции на тайные операции с бандеровским режимом вполне могут быть расценены как пособничество в теракту в «Крокусе». «Очевидно, что Макрон и ряд других западных руководителей – спонсоры этого ужасного теракта. Этому нет прощения. Здесь не прикрыться иммунитетами. И отныне они не просто враги России», считает зампред Совбеза.

Translation: Medvedev called “senior officials of NATO countries” accomplices and international sponsors of terrorists. He considered that the rhetoric and actions of French President Emmanuel Macron, and most importantly, his sanctions for secret operations with the Bandera regime could well be regarded as complicity in the terrorist attack in Crocus. “It is obvious that Macron and a number of other Western leaders are the sponsors of this terrible terrorist attack. There is no forgiveness for this. There is no hiding behind immunities here. And from now on they are not just enemies of Russia,” says the deputy chairman of the Security Council.

Just think for a minute about what has been said. And that is not on a "lighter note". This is not good cop-bad cop play. There is a good chance that this is the future (again) President of Russia speaking. Think about why Lecornu called Shoigu. Also the hysterical reaction of Macron.

More Specific...

 ... Good interview;)) 

 

A-Ha-Ha, LOL)))

 And what did happen that precipitated this comedy?  

The CIA warned Ukraine not to destroy Nord Stream months before an attack on the gas pipelines, after receiving a tip from Dutch military intelligence, according to media reports. The Netherlands’ military intelligence agency, MIVD, received information about an “imminent attack” on Nord Stream from an unnamed source in Ukraine in June, three months before a series of underwater explosions hit the pipes last September, a joint investigation by Dutch and German news outlets published Tuesday shows. According to the plan received by MIVD, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, was in charge of the operation against Nord Stream, which involved a small team of divers traveling on a sailing boat and was supposed to take place mid-June 2022.

Who buys this load of BS? Zaluzhny? Really? The guy who by all means now is either dead or completely incapacitated and who can serve as a scapegoat because of it. In the same time it is a peculiar development because--and I stress it--blowing up NS2 is a war crime and somebody did authorize and carried out this terrorist act. Guess from three times who. 

In related news, Vladimir Putin met in Kremlin the so called "voenkors" and totally humiliated them. His exchange with Sladkov was epic and, in fact, Sladkov was effectively accused of spreading Ukie propaganda. I am not going to explain all subtleties of Russian language here, but for anyone who is interested the transcript is available and the summary is here (in Russian). But now, one has to ask the question (wink, wink, wink, wink))) why Macron wants to do this:

French President Emmanuel Macron has asked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for an invitation to the upcoming BRICS summit in Pretoria, French newspaper L’Opinion reported on Monday. Macron’s recent attempts to win over his African counterparts have fallen flat. He raised the possibility of attending the summit during a phone call with Ramaphosa earlier this month, L’Opinion stated, citing sources in the Elysee palace. According to one “well-informed” source, Ramaphosa was non-committal. “Presence at this summit was mentioned during the conversation between the two leaders, but Pretoria gave no indication of whether or not to extend this meeting to other international leaders,” the source said.

If Macron were to attend the summit, he would be the first leader of a G7 nation to do so. BRICS leaders and Macron apparently share a desire to overhaul the global financial and geopolitical order, with Macron hosting a conference in Paris next week aimed at overhauling the financial system to better benefit the developing world. Ramaphosa is due to attend the conference, and a cordial meeting between him and Macron could set the stage for the French president to make history in Pretoria.

Nice try, of course, but France is the US lapdog and economically insignificant with some exception for aerospace and a few other things and is dwarfed economically by Russia, India, let alone China. France's attempts to maintain presence in Africa are also bound to fail, because France is incapable to provide economic and military assistance Russia and China can. Not even close. Hey, French made their choice and France now will be confined to the Western Europe while it descends into economic depression and chaos. Russia and China can "overhaul the global financial and geopolitical order", France cannot no matter how it tries. Just not enough... scale. Plus Macron still supports criminal regime in Kiev and for all intents and purposes is a party to terrorist activities by Nazis from 404. Russia doesn't talk to Nazis, she annihilates them. Let France guess from three times who is the military pivot in BRICS? I have a hint: it ain't India or China, let alone Brazil and SAR.
