МОСКВА, 20 мая. /ТАСС/. Президент Украины Владимир Зеленский после капитуляции Киева должен быть арестован и предан суду либо же ликвидирован, как террорист. Об этом заявил ТАСС зампредседателя Совбеза РФ Дмитрий Медведев. "Дальнейшая (после капитуляции Украины - прим. ТАСС) судьба Зеленского нам не безразлична. Он должен быть пойман и предан суду за преступления против граждан России и украинцев. При невозможности доставки такого преступника должны применяться правила, практикуемые для террористов", - подчеркнул Медведев. "Именно такая судьба постигла духовного учителя Зеленского - Степана Бандеру", - напомнил он. 

MOSCOW, May 20. /TASS/. After the capitulation of Kyiv, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky should be arrested and put on trial or liquidated as a terrorist. This was stated to TASS by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. “The further (after the capitulation of Ukraine - TASS) fate of Zelensky is not indifferent to us. He must be caught and put on trial for crimes against citizens of Russia and Ukrainians. If it is impossible to deliver such a criminal, the rules practiced for terrorists must be applied,” Medvedev emphasized. “This is exactly the fate that befell Zelensky’s spiritual teacher, Stepan Bandera,” he recalled.

For those who still don't get it--Medvedev IS NOT a "bad cop" in tandem with a "good cop" Putin. Medvedev is the SECOND in power in Russia's Security Council after Putin. Russia's Security Council is the MAIN strategic organ of Russia, a STAVKA of Supreme Command and State Defense Committee wrapped into one. What Medvedev states usually happens and he uses his massive media capabilities to convey what Russia REALLY thinks is going to happen. So, run Ze, run!Well, on the other hand--not gonna help, he is a dead man walking. Poroshenko, Avakov et al--get ready.

I Spoke To Kevork...

 ... today. 

Kevork brought up the article from The Guardian by insane Russophobe Simon Tisdall. 

Ukraine is Europe’s fight. It’s freedom’s global fight, Joe Biden says – a fight for democracy. “Our support cannot and will not falter. Britain is with you for as long as it takes,” Rishi Sunak vows. Yet, on the ground, Ukraine is mostly left to fight alone.

Here is an example of British "education", where in elite British degree mills they prepare illiterate propagandists and war criminals, responsible for atrocities across the globe. So, this human excrement, who would shit his pants from the even remote possibility of sustaining any harm to himself in the war zone, but he still cannot grasp the issue of the UK being culpable, together with the US, in unleashing the largest, since WW II, war in Europe.

It’s increasingly up to Europe, which has most to lose. Aside from the dire consequences of Ukraine’s permanent partition or total subjugation, success for Putin’s neo-imperial project prospectively imperils a clutch of former Soviet republics – Georgia is one vulnerable example – the EU and European security. If such scenarios materialised, Nato would be sucked in regardless. Or would it? Trump is a wild card. If he beats Biden in November, former advisers are convinced he will pull the rug from under Ukraine and cosy up to Putin. They also believe he will move to quit Nato, initially by sabotaging or blocking operations. July’s birthday party may be Nato’s last. At which point, Europe really would be on its own.

I am on record, people with biographies like Tisdall:

From 1971 to 1974, he studied history, politics and philosophy at Downing College, Cambridge  

Shouldn't be allowed anywhere near media when commenting on issues of war and strategy. We do not allow janitors to perform open heart surgeries for a reason; British politicos in general, bar some few exceptions here and there, shouldn't be taken seriously on any issue of international relations until they swear they understand REAL position of UK as the second (if not third) world country, declining even at being that. Per Tisdall, he is a classic Goebbelsonian sociopath with personal grievances and British delusions of grandeur and should be, his propaganda activity considered, charged as the war criminal culpable in promoting genocidal policies by Washington and London in 404. As per NATO "involvement"--they do not teach in UK how military-economic and combat potentials are counted and how state's grand strategy relates to military one--too complex, many numbers and knowledge of real history.

Iran's President Confirmed Dead...

It has been confirmed and the video from the crash site tells about catastrophe, not the hard landing, The helicopter is completely destroyed bar its boom.  

Iranian state media have confirmed that President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in the northwestern province of East Azerbaijan. His entire entourage, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Governor of East Azerbaijan Malek Rahmati, also perished, Press TV said. The head of state had traveled to the border region after joining Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev on Saturday to inaugurate a dam. Raisi had pledged to visit each of Iran’s 30 provinces at least once a year, and regularly traveled around the country. Reports of a “crash landing” began circulating on Sunday afternoon, with Iranian state media citing Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi. According to IRNA news agency, the weather was foggy in the area where the presidential helicopter is believed to have gone down. Raisi was traveling in a US-made Bell 212. Low visibility and the impassibility of the area made search operations difficult, IRNA wrote.

Before we go all Mossad or CIA on it, keep in mind--there was a strong fog. Same happened to General Lebed, at that time Krasnoyarsk Krai governor, who thought that if he was a big boss that this negates the safety procedures. He made pilots fly, heli caught electric lines in fog, crashed and everybody died. So, keep in mind a possibility of TPTB overruling pilots. If the heli itself (granted old Bell 212 could have suffered malfunction prior to crash) could have been the culprit, Iranian Bell was most likely much older than the last Bell 212s delivered in 1998. We may be looking at Bell 212 from 1980 at best. 44 years for heli it is pushing it, especially the one which is not supported by the US but had to be maintained. Other than that, my condolences to the people of Iran. It is a great loss. 

Christopher Cavoli Lost It...

 ... not surprisingly he went for the trash-talk. 

Their desperation is so thick, you can cut it with the knife. Generally speaking, listening to any US Army officer pontificating on "breakthroughs" is down right risible. There is nothing, zero, zilch in the US military history which is in the same universe as Battle for Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and "Ten Stalin's Blows" with Operation Bagration. US Georgian proxy had been literally "disintegrated" in under 96 hours by "backward" Russian 58th Army in 2008. There is nothing that Pentagon has behind its belt which even remotely compares to SMO. Not even close by admission of none other than Cavoli himself. So, we have a combination of intolerable professional envy and recognition of own weakness plus the necessity to placate a restless and utterly incompetent Washington swamp and as the result the loss of remnants of professional integrity and honor accelerates dramatically. Needless to say, there is not a single NATO general in existence who could fight anything even remotely comparable to SMO and survive it professionally and, possibly, physically. So, what's left? Right, trash talk.
