Ray Is A National Treasure ...

 ... not only for the US but for Russia too. Seated right next to Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin but also the Senate's (Federation Council) Spokeswoman (Chairwoman) Valentina Matvienko, and, of course, Dmitry Medvedev. OK, forgot that--Larry is getting there too)) Love both of them dearly. 

Some Explanations ...

 ... great stuff!

Witkoff was "explained" (for three hours of waiting) that he is nobody in Moscow. 

Of Course, They Don't...

 ... understand dimensions. Most of them are products of the US degree mills from Ivy League humanities and "government" programs which are primarily academic fraud. Ray says it well:

Neocons do not know war, including American generals who serve them. Plus, Karaganov is NOT a specialist in anything--he is merely a good ol' Moscow elite boy with "credentials" in... nothing and has about zero (in fact, negative) grasp of warfare. 

Now, per Western media being giddy about Toropets explosions. 

Couple of the buildings of the ABOVE ground storage detonated after one of the 404 UAVs fell (it was shot down) on one of the buildings. Most of the weapons and explosives are stored deep under ground and they haven't been affected.

Man! What A Day.

First, Nima and Jacques Baud.  

And then with incomparable Ray!

Man! Now he has me planned for Thursday. On Friday, tentatively Vera will have Larry Wilkerson, with me as participant and, finally, somebody else translating. I hope to get together with Ania soon too. Tomorrow I have RTVi. Quickening, boys and girls, buckle up.

Larry and Ray On The Issue...

 ... looks like I will be doing video tomorrow too...

Also, Ray doing what Ray does--keeping the faith in American patriots... 

Whatever Israel does now, including the use of nukes--1.5 billion of Muslims look up to Iran. Erdogan lost... In geopolitics timing is everything.

Ray Being Ray...

... as always--calm and moral disposition and clear mind. 

It is very remarkable how many former CIA people apply themselves wholly to great analysis and moral stands, while others... I'll talk about it in my video today.

Ray Being Ray...

 ... on Nima's platform. 

 

Judge And Ray...

 ... discuss the possibility (probability of it is approaching 100%) of the US stealing Russia's frozen assets. It is going to happen and that is why the CIA is organizing some "Russian Republic" which will be used as a legal beneficiary for the transfer of frozen funds to the US (in Russian). Russians are keenly aware of this. 

I guess this "operation" will increase the legitimacy of the American "rules-based order" and raise the prestige of the United States to new heights, wink-wink.

I Had To Post It Here.

Because my friends Larry and Ray and real professionals are talking to Judge and this must be on the front page of this blog. A crucial discussion. Sadly, YouTube doesn't allow, for some reason, to post it here. Here is the link to it. Must watch and listen. 

Update: A-ha, looks like Blogspot cannot find and insert ANY video. So, once the service is restored, hopefully, I will post the video.

OK, the function is back. Here is the video--a MUST see.

Coming Shortly.

 Mike, Ray, Larry and me. 

Enjoy.
 

But Was Putin Really Duped?

I am talking about Ray McGovern on Judge today when they discuss the issue of Minsk Agreements, or rather lies of Western leeaders behind those agreements. 

I think, the whole premise is wrong. There is no doubt that Putin "milked" the issue of treachery by the West to the full extent, as any shrewd statesman would do, but I doubt, even against the background of Putin's admission, that he was duped. The reason being of Russia getting ready for clash with NATO as there is no tomorrow since 2014. Nation which is "duped" and still "trusts" Western "partners" doesn't undergo a de facto revolutionary re-industrialization within 8 years and doesn't launch real revolution in military affair. 

We should not mistake tactical foreign policy adjustments for fundamentally correct strategy which from the inception saw the clash with NATO as inevitability. The best proof of it is the December 2021 Ultimatum to the combined West. It is one thing to make a speech in Munich in 2007 talking about general vision, totally another--to issue specific demands in 2021, including the ones which are deliberately formulated as to be unacceptable for NATO. That's a huge difference. Including in the levels of power of Russia in 2007, 2014 and 2023--they are dramatically different with Russia of 2023 fully returning to herself the status of global power. 

Is Ray correct that when Russia takes all of the left bank of Dnieper she will be ready to talk? Certainly possible, but a lot will also depend on how Russia reshuffles her exports and how the Eurasian economic integration proceeds. In this case Mikhail Mishustin's official visit to China and his meeting tomorrow with Comrade Xi are very important in this respect. Now per those "hypersonic missiles" that NATO still doesn't have. Russians, as facts have it, put themselves again in a deliberately "worst" position and developed everything from the assumption that at some point of time NATO will have those hypersonic gliding vehicles. So, what do you do then? Well, you develop the Air Defense capable of intercepting those. And this is what Russia was doing since mid-2000s. Judging by what is coming (rumored) in this AD, or rather air and space defense field, we are looking at a complete remake of world order which even our wildest imagination cannot perceive.
