КУРСК, 10 апреля. /ТАСС/. Российские военнослужащие занимаются в том числе эвакуацией тел солдат Вооруженных сил Украины из приграничных районов Курской области, счет идет на десятки тысяч. Об этом ТАСС рассказали в российских силовых структурах. "Киевский режим даже не пытался эвакуировать тела уничтоженных вэсэушников. Более того, многие украинские военнослужащие скончались от полученных ранений, брошенные "побратимами". В настоящее время российские военнослужащие занимаются в том числе эвакуацией тел украинских солдат. Счет идет на десятки тысяч", - сказал собеседник агентства. Он добавил, что российским бойцам после освобождения Гуева осталось выбить ВСУ из населенных пунктов Олешня и Горналь Курской области.
Translation: KURSK, April 10. /TASS/. Russian servicemen are also evacuating the bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers from the border areas of Kursk Oblast; the number is in the tens of thousands. This was reported to TASS by Russian security agencies. "The Kiev regime did not even try to evacuate the bodies of the killed Ukrainian servicemen. Moreover, many Ukrainian servicemen died from their wounds, abandoned by their "brothers." At present, Russian servicemen are also evacuating the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. The number is in the tens of thousands," the agency's source said. He added that after the liberation of Guyev, Russian fighters still have to drive the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the settlements of Oleshnya and Gornal in Kursk Oblast.
This is to merely remind everyone the statistics on Kursk "operation" by NATO, which today is counted in 72 990 of personnel (most are KIAs, not just "casualties"), 405 tanks, 331 BMPs, 300 APCs, 2260 armored vehicles, 597 artillery pieces et al. That makes this image, if anyone wonders, a rather timid affair, especially when it MUST be considered it was done to surrendering and defenseless Iraqi troops.
This guy--he is safe now and should count his blessings being Russia's POW--talks about what kind of "training" British military provided him.
Russia shelters thousands of civilians at her Kheimim Air Base.
In fact, it encouraged it. Including by means of now grossly reduced USAID.
The Ukrainian military is trying to destroy evidence of its war crimes in the settlements they have occupied in Russia’s Kursk Region, senior Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik has claimed. Last month, Russian investigators alleged that Kiev’s troops had raped, tortured, and murdered Russian civilians in the recently-liberated village of Russkoye Porechnoye. They published gruesome videos of bodies piled in cellars in some of the homes inside the settlement. Several captured Ukrainian servicemen acknowledged committing the crimes under interrogation, saying they had been acting on the orders of their commanders. Similar atrocities could have been committed by enemy forces in other villages in Kursk Region according to Miroshnik, who is tasked by the Russian Foreign Ministry with collecting evidence of alleged Ukrainian war crimes. He made the comments to RIA-Novosti on Saturday. “Ukraine is battering the nearby settlements, apparently trying to destroy the consequences of its other crimes,” he said.
The latest one, they tortured and then killed the veteran of the Great Patriotic War. They are Neo-Nazis. Trump calls them "beautiful young people". Looks like he called Moscow, if it did happen it didn't go well for him. Notable absence of "brotherly people" rhetoric from Russian political top, as of lately. On the other hand, many 404 transplants to Russia want this mythology to continue. Too late for them and whatever will be left of 404.
... allows for this, after describing a complete degeneration of his Admin. The Walking Dead, The End of the Season.
Lately, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, it must be admitted that such a war is beneficial to the US economically. But the political costs and the real threat of a fatal conflict are much more serious. But the old man was not ready for this. This is the case when the head of the world's largest power completely failed to cope with the situation. As a result, the Democrats lost the election miserably. If Biden's problem is his inadequacy, then his Administration's fault is that on the Russian track it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy for its successors. The harmful bookmarks of Biden's decisions will take a long time to manifest itself. And therefore, it will be extremely difficult to communicate. Full normalization of Russian-American relations will take decades. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality it is basically impossible. And quite frankly, it is unclear whether it is needed at all...
Here, the highest political level of Russia talking. And if to prove these points:
Translation: MOSCOW, January 19 — RIA Novosti. The SWIFT system should be abandoned to avoid information leaks, VTB CEO Andrey Kostin said in an interview that journalist Pavel Zarubin published on his Telegram channel. "SWIFT should be simply killed, in a good sense of the word, abandoned and no longer used. This is a direct leak of information to our enemies <…> and the main thing is that it is so easy to solve — it is a purely administrative decision, an agreement between the two parties and a few technological solutions, that's all," Kostin said. Several years ago, SWIFT was the main system for processing payments — almost all banking transactions in the world went through it. But in 2014, when Western countries first threatened to disconnect Russia from the system, large countries began to create alternatives. The Financial Message Transfer System (SPFS) appeared in Russia.
As Medvedev pointed out (collective) Biden had no clue what he was getting the combined West into. Many still don't, including in this blog, continuing to discuss things which are not there, such as totally made-up (in their vivid imaginations) intentions of Russia and her military-political top. But never mind, now this creep from Biden's NSA (likely an illiterate "intel" asset), Eric Green, does what all of them do best--lies.
“We were deliberately not talking about the territorial parameters,” says Eric Green, who served on Biden’s National Security Council at the time, overseeing Russia policy. The U.S., in other words, made no promise to help Ukraine recover all of the land Russia had occupied, and certainly not the vast territories in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula taken in its initial invasion in 2014. The reason was simple, Green says: in the White House’s view, doing so was beyond Ukraine’s ability, even with robust help from the West. “That was not going to be a success story ultimately. The more important objective was for Ukraine to survive as a sovereign, democratic country free to pursue integration with the West.”
The CYA (Cover Your Ass) has started in earnest. Washington is seeded with credentialed cretins who do not understand the scale of crime against humanity and war crimes they committed. And this is a rare point where I and Scott diverge--Russians have no reverence for war criminals be them from CIA or political top and here is someone who stands by her words, since this is the official Moscow's position.
Официальный представитель МИД России Мария Захарова заявила, что виновные в зверствах против жителей Курской области будут наказаны, но на международные структуры в этом вопросе надеяться не стоит. Международные организации, по ее словам, продолжают игнорировать массовые убийства мирных граждан, совершаемые украинскими неонацистами, и отказываются от расследования преступлений киевского режима, передает РИА «Новости». Захарова отметила, что Запад, поощряя киевский режим, делает вид, что не замечает грубого нарушения международного гуманитарного права и Женевских конвенций. «Это именно то, что государства коллективного Запада ждут от бандеровцев. Цинично отводят взгляд от их преступных деяний», – заявила она. Российские следственные органы проведут все необходимые действия для выявления виновных, и они понесут заслуженное наказание. Захарова добавила, что это будет происходить аналогично многим другим выявленным преступлениям киевского режима. «Мы сделаем это сами», – уверенно заявила она.
Translation: The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that those guilty of atrocities against residents of the Kursk region will be punished, but there is no point in relying on international structures in this matter. According to her, international organizations continue to ignore the mass murder of civilians committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis and refuse to investigate the crimes of the Kyiv regime, RIA Novosti reports. Zakharova noted that the West, encouraging the Kiev regime, pretends not to notice the gross violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. "This is exactly what the states of the collective West expect from the Banderites. They cynically look away from their criminal acts," she said. Russian investigative bodies will take all necessary actions to identify the perpetrators, and they will receive the punishment they deserve. Zakharova added that this will happen similarly to many other crimes of the Kyiv regime that have been identified. "We will do it ourselves," she confidently stated.
Identities of people, from the top military-political echelon down to ground level "advisers" from MI6, CIA, Polish orgs etc. are largely known--they aided Nazis and atrocities, and I don't buy for a second those stories about super cool CIA or Special Forces dudes who can face down the "toughest" enemies. They can't. This issue will be (with a very high probability) discussed between Russia and the US, or rather for starters with this Kellogg dude who knows about real war as much as I know about Chinese choreography. I am sure he will watch Rambo movies prior to talking to Russians to update himself on current events.
Considering the fact that Politico is a controlled rag, a euphemism for "free press", as most Western media are, such a piece is a dual-track "message" whose point is not to only naturally try to portray the US "in control", but also serves as an attempt to remove a responsibility for war crimes committed by the combined West in Donbass. While the title of the piece speaks for itself, U.S. approves of Ukraine striking Russian-occupied Crimea, passages like this are more important and indicative.
1. Pay attention to this good ol' trick of a "senior administration official". Never any names or titles. Just that--senior "official". It is not accidental, since, see next:
2. "Supporting" striking Crimea is a bridge too far for the United States, because there are plenty of the US assets in Europe and elsewhere which could be introduced to real strikes.
3. The United States already has committed or supervised a copious number of the war crimes and crimes against humanity in and around Donbass and remaining incognito for some "officials", granted they are not made-up virtual reality figures, which you cannot put past any US media, is important since war crimes and crimes against humanity do not have statute of limitations.
This is the issue a bunch of good ol' boys and girls from State Department, CIA (MI6) and Pentagon cannot wrap their brains around, because they still think that beating the crap with impunity from some third world backwater is everything it is about the war. It is not. The score is being kept and Russia has a very good memory--meaning names, positions, activity of those people in D.C. is well documented and attempts to distance themselves from atrocities committed by their Ukie SOBs will fail. Russia doesn't fight 404, Russia fights combined West headed by the United States and there are many charges which will be leveled against many people in D.C. E.g. as reported:
This is just one such occasion among many others, including location of mass graves of raped and murdered by Kiev regime's thugs women in Donbass (in Russian), which are being scored not only to Nazis of Kiev regime, but their curators from D.C. and London. For the US "elite" which has zero experience with Nuremberg Trials and crimes against humanity committed by German Nazism, it seems inconceivable that at some point of time they can get charged as war criminals, which many of them are, and get revenge served to them cold. Some, however, do get it either on intellectual or emotional level, hence absolutely fanatical and desperate attempts in trying to keep Kiev regime afloat by pumping it with weapons and "volunteers" and, surprise-surprise, being, in fact, in direct command and control of VSU or, rather, whatever is left of it. One of the major drivers behind all this irrational and, incompetent, behavior is recognition by some of the immediate future the United States faces economically, which also translates into the further decomposition of America's governmental institutions (I am on record since 2015 that the US is ungovernable) and further military weakening, not that the US can fight a real war in Europe. It cannot.
This is the environment which is conducive for all kinds of internal and foreign policy turns which will, not may, weaken the United States to such a degree that we are talking about actual "regime change" in D.C. and the chaos which ensues. Many people in D.C. worry. Hence, we see more desperation such as attacks on nuclear power station in Zaporozhie and increased number of atrocities against civilians and the US is FULLY engaged in these decisions. As I stated, Russia has a very good memory and, unlike the US, knows what price must be paid in demolishing the criminal globalist order and bringing people on whose hands is the blood of millions of innocent people around the world to justice. They miscalculated grossly, which is not surprising, once one considers in what economic and military alternative universe they all existed since recently, when cognitive dissonance became too severe.
To illustrate a complete brainwash of the Western public and people who "govern" them, French decided to ask themselves a question on when those dirty, smelly and poor Russian bastards will crawl back to Europe begging to lift sanctions. As France Info reported:
Translation: Almost six months after the start of the war in Ukraine, economic sanctions have repeatedly been taken against Russia. Many large companies have left the country. But that had no consequences for Moscow, which continues to hold firm. Walking into a supermarket in Moscow (Russia) is like walking into any other Western supermarket. The shelves are well stocked. Customers can easily find French products or bottles of wine from Europe. The shortages that some Russians feared a few months ago have not happened. "There are items that have disappeared but they have been replaced," says a Russian. "I'm not going to lie to you, there is everything," confirms another.
The French "journo" still ended up "reporting" beaten to death tropes about China's "parts" and cannibalizing commercial aircraft, but what else do you expect from their kind. Hello, Paris? Russia is a global food EXPORTER, and you can go into ANY supermarket in Russia from Moscow, to Krasnoyarsk, to Vladivostok with Khabarovsk and they will look, especially in large chains such as Lenta, Magnit or Auchan (French chain, btw), like the horns of plenty. Here are Russia's favorite Aussies shopping in Novosibirsk's (one of many) toy stores.
