Given NATOs propensity to engage in projection so far – the leader is not in charge of his full faculties, the Russians are committing war crimes, they are runing out of this that or the other, they need an off-ramp, etc. – do you folk think I should be worried by the recent ” Russia might use tactical nukes” talk? Posted by: Dook of Albemarle | Jun 26 2022 14:05 utc | 1 Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine Posted by: eyeswideopen | Jun 26 2022 14:13 utc | 2 @Dook of Albemarle Posted by: Idiocrates | Jun 26 2022 14:16 utc | 3 All this noise about abprtion yes or no is to cover the sound defeat in Ukraine and the growing opposition to NATo in Europe. Posted by: Ghost of Mozgovoy | Jun 26 2022 14:19 utc | 4 So I see a headline this morning, Sunday June 26, announcing that Russian command centers now vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks, and another story about how the Ukrainians are advancing somewhere. Both implying that the Tide is About to Turn. Yet over the weekend there have been reports after reports about Russian advances, Ukrainian captures, fast advances…now Biden going to Europe again….perfect time for a false flag… Posted by: Boomheist | Jun 26 2022 14:24 utc | 5 What BoJo, the demented Joe and the puppies should understand, but can’t, is that there are areas of DPR and LNR as separate republics, whether they recognise them or not, and other areas (oblasts) such as Khersonskaya, Zaporozhzhskaya, Nikolajewskaya, Odesskaya that will be annexed to Russian Federation, one way or another. They try to deny that, though. The US/NATO doesn’t have enough power to fight Russia head on.

Posted by: Jpc | Jun 26 2022 15:02 utc | 9 “The U.S. issues ‘leaks’ about Lithuanian troops in Ukraine. All this for the purposes of baiting Russia into attacking a NATO country.” Posted by: Dale | Jun 26 2022 15:08 utc | 10 I see someone stuck a blue/yellow flag in Sir Paul McCartney’s hand just before he did his encore at Glastonbury.

Posted by: Jpc | Jun 26 2022 15:26 utc | 14 On a side note, it’s probably worth considering that what Axis mouthpieces describe as Harpoon missile systems could, in reality, be literally any operationally compatible anti-ship missile system that’s available to the Axis powers.

As it turns out ‘Keev’ is not correct for the new politically correct Kyiv. To discover the correct pronunciation, and another source of info on the conflict, see … https://stormer-daily.rw/i-believe-that-she-will-win-i-believe-that-she-will-win-i-believe-that-she-will-win/ I highly recommend the Stormer. @ ptb | Jun 26 2022 16:05 utc | 23 Posted by: james | Jun 26 2022 16:09 utc | 24 In response to ThusspakeZarathustra@7, Posted by: Skiffer | Jun 26 2022 16:09 utc | 25 I am deeply disappointed to hear that Roger Waters has joined the NATO bandwagon, I had thought better of him.

That’s why his calling Putin a gangster is so surprising. He must know better than that. He must know about the Maidan coup and Azov and the murders in Donbass. Putin a gangster? Come on Roger.

So what? that tiny island can be wiped with 2-3 missiles. They can’t keep it for a day. Stop looking for logic. Think like a 12yo. Think like Bojo.

I haven’t done the research, but what I see in Western media sure looks like cope and delusion (“oil will be cheaper”; “innovation will find a way, like mineral oil replaced whale oil in lamps”).

Just as Belarus can be used by Russia to project power to the west (Lithuania) and south (Ukraine), Finland can be used by Nato to project ppwer to the east (St Petersburg) and south (the Baltic States). Finland already has a defense pact of sorts with the UK and Nato. Anyway, it seems the Baltics are toast as Lithuania painted itself and the other states into a sort of maritime cauldron: Russia has to ferry stuff like oil from The Gulf of Finland, thus needing military reinforcements to secure even the civilian maritime transport to Kaliningrad. The result? An encirclement of the Baltic states. Posted by: Jonathan W | Jun 26 2022 18:48 utc | 59 Home heating firewood sold out in Germany.

Yes indeed! China/Russia are leading the world in building the energy systems of the future. The 250Gigawatt of pump-storage capacity (some said 230Gigawatts) is of equivalence to the total capacity of Japan, the third single-entity nation in terms of installed electric capacity. Imagine the amount of energy to power 8-hours of Japan on a daily basis! And it was said the budget for the project is only $12 billion USD. China has also a reputation of bringing in projects before schedule and below budget. Posted by: Oriental Voice | Jun 26 2022 19:11 utc | 64 From the Saker. Posted by: Republicofscotland | Jun 26 2022 19:12 utc | 65 The Western European politicians, UK (5 eyes – uk, usa, nz,au,ca) plus much of e europe and baltics are all controlled by Roth-schild-soros-WEF-Nuland-NWO-DNC gangs. All the elections are rigged except maybe Hungary. I am not sure if Europe uses Dominion voting but I am sure they have some form of vote theft as France’s most recent election was rigged with Macron “winning” like the rigged 2020 USA election.

It may be like $120Billion. If so, I apologize for not researching details before posting comments 🙂 Posted by: Oriental Voice | Jun 26 2022 19:28 utc | 68 The narrative that US bad empire, EU stupid vassal, Russia defending its legitimate interests. What if the story is (elites orchestrating) US and Russia to put up a show, in order to separate common European from its cash, put Europe down, and to turn it into a captive state?

No evidence has been presented so far by Rudenko for his claim that it was the Azovites who have killed the foreigners. It’s possible that they have died in battle.
