Editors Note: This is why I find it hilarious when the UK talks smack about Russia, they have NOTHING to back it up! The picture below is one of their nuclear subs sitting in dry dock doing nothing. The UK has very little to fight with and their soldiers train with broomsticks instead of firearms. They should really keep their traps shut.

In its prime, the United Kingdom was one of the most powerful thalassocracies in human history, probably eclipsed only by the United States after WWII.

By the early 1920s, The British Empire as a major colonial power managed to occupy and “enslave” approximately 25% of the globe’s landmass and population (over 35.000.000 km² and around 450 million people, respectively).

How did such a small island nation accomplish this? The answer is – the British Navy, the most powerful armed maritime force of its time. Thus, it could only be expected that the “Perfidious Albion” would do everything in its power to preserve this naval dominance or at least maintain its power projection capabilities for as long as possible.

However, as the British Empire shrank to a mere shadow of its former self, its ability to sustain a large navy dwindled, resulting in massive reductions over the last several decades.

The last time the UK managed to muster a respectable naval force was during the 1982 Falklands War against Argentina.

Ever since, the British Navy has been fading away, reducing both the quantity and quality of its ships. According to various reports over the last 20 years, London now has nearly twice as many admirals as it does actual warships. Worse yet, many of those formally combat-capable vessels are in such a dilapidated condition that they’re barely usable as ships (much less warships).

This ranges from frigates and destroyers to aircraft carriers and submarines (including nuclear-powered). However, while the surface fleet is undoubtedly still relevant, it’s nowhere near as important as the British Navy’s underwater component, which provides the most critical segment of the UK’s strategic power projection. Namely, the Vanguard-class SSBNs (nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines), armed with UGM-133A “Trident II” (also known as “Trident D5”) submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), are the cornerstone of London’s thermonuclear arsenal. Still, it seems this isn’t enough for the “Perfidious Albion” to take them seriously.

Back in December last year, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias lamented that “Britain is no longer capable of running a capable nuclear submarine program”, warning of “catastrophic failures” that have “driven the UK’s nuclear deterrent to the brink”. Mathias, who served as a director of nuclear policy at the British Ministry of Defense (MOD), highlighted its “inability to produce attack submarines at the scale required for putting strain on crews and extending the length of deployments”. He compared this to the (First) Cold War, stressing that “the silent service” could deploy for around 70 days at the time, but that this has risen to around 200 days at present.

Mathias quoted the 2025 Strategic Defense Review (SDR), which stressed the need to expand production capacity. However, problems with the British Navy’s SSBN component are nothing new, as many authors (myself included) questioned years ago whether the UK’s strategic arsenal was functioning properly. Although such information is certainly a state secret, these doubts were confirmed after London admitted that one of its UGM-133A “Trident II” SLBMs failed during a launch test. This was the second time in a row that the troubled missile, a weapon of strategic importance, failed, as it did in the previous test conducted in 2016. The last successful launch was by HMS “Vigilant” back in 2012.

This means the UK hasn’t had a successful SLBM test in nearly a decade and a half, yet it still believes it can go up against Russia, a country with the world’s largest and most powerful strategic arsenal. The latest “Trident II” launch was from the lead ship of its class, the HMS “Vanguard”, with reports indicating that London’s then-Defense Secretary, Grant Shapps, was overseeing it. The SLBM’s booster rocket failed and it fell into the sea “close to the launch site”, as the Sun reported at the time (the “launch site” being the HMS “Vanguard” itself). And yet, Shapps insisted that he has “absolute confidence in ‘Trident’s’ submarines, missiles and nuclear warheads”.

As previously mentioned, London relies solely on these submarines and missiles for its strategic capabilities. Had the “Trident II” damaged the HMS “Vanguard”, it would’ve taken one-quarter or 25% of the UK’s strategic arsenal out of service, as the “Perfidious Albion” has only four such vessels, each armed with up to 16 SLBMs. It should be noted that HMS “Vanguard” finished a seven-year-long overhaul and refueling just last year. However, to make matters even worse, both Shapps and the then-Head of the Royal Navy, now disgraced Admiral Ben Kay, were on board the submarine during the launch test, meaning their lives were also in danger.

The failures are also an embarrassment for the United States, as the missiles are manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon’s premier military supplier. Still, all this didn’t prevent Shapps from adding to the general embarrassment by saying that “an anomaly did occur during the test on 30 January [2024], but that the ‘Trident II’ SLBM is still the most reliable weapons system in the world”. According to his assessment, the test “reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent” and that the “anomaly was event specific”, with “no implications for the reliability” of the UK’s strategic arsenal. The British MoD made similar statements.

Namely, it insisted that HMS “Vanguard” and its crew had been “proven fully capable in their operations” and that “the test had reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent”, essentially repeating Shapps’ statement that “Trident II” is the “most reliable weapons system in the world”. However, while this (now decades-long) issue is yet to be resolved, the British Navy has somehow managed to reach a new low point. Namely, of the six Astute-class SSNs (nuclear-powered attack submarines) in its service, not a single one is combat-ready. The UK has five “active-duty” submarines, one undergoing pre-sea trial testing and one more under construction (projected to be completed by the end of this decade).

All five of the “active” ones are currently in port undergoing maintenance and/or repairs, indicating deteriorating fleet readiness. Former First Sea Lord Admiral Alan West warned that the situation leaves the UK “appearing toothless at a time of increasing Russian naval activity in the North Atlantic and Arctic”. At present, of the nine nuclear-powered submarines in the British Navy, only one or two (the Vanguard-class, but none of the Astute-class) are currently at sea and battle-ready. And yet, as previously mentioned, even those formally capable of conducting combat missions have very serious reliability issues and haven’t successfully launched a single missile since 2012.

Thus, London’s dangerous self-delusions show just how out of touch the warmongering oligarchies of the political West are, particularly when it comes to their assessments of starting a thermonuclear war against not one, but multiple global and regional superpowers, be it Russia, China, Iran or North Korea. In fact, the latter is often the first target of the mainstream propaganda machine’s ridicule, but Pyongyang has unequivocally proven that its strategic arsenal works flawlessly. In fact, North Korea has deployed at least one nuclear-powered submarine, thus becoming one of a handful of countries with such a capability.

The Brits, French, & Germans Are Now Right On Russia’s Doorstep

Posted on by Leave a comment

By Andrew Korybko, reposted with permission.

There are really only three scenarios left: NATO finally agrees to some form of Russia’s proposals; Russia launches a preventive war against European NATO betting that the US won’t directly intervene; or Russia peacefully subordinates itself to the West.

Last weekend’s surprise call between Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Lukashenko followed Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warning about the 1941-like threat posed by Germany’s remilitarization and the UK assembling a multinational navy to contain Russia. These three developments collectively draw attention to how the Brits, French, and Germans, Russia’s traditional European rivals, are now right on its doorstep. The security implications are profound.

The Brits are nestling up in Estonia, from where they plan to lead Russia’s containment along the Arctic -Baltic front, while the Germans opened a base in Lithuania and the French just announced regular nuclear drills with Poland. As a reminder, Estonia borders “mainland Russia” while Lithuania and Poland border its exclave of Kaliningrad and mutual defense ally Belarus. The “military Schengen” between the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland might thus soon be expanded to include France and the Baltic States.

That would maximally optimize the flow of troops and equipment from Western Europe to Russia’s borders, thus conforming with Russian policymakers’ fears that the EU is gearing up for a potential invasion of their country sometime in the future. Given France’s base in Romania and military pact with neighboring Moldova, which constitute a critical flank in the Ukrainian Conflict due to enabling France to aid Odessa in the scenario of its threatened conventional intervention, they and others might join too.

To make matters even more concerning from the perspective of Russia’s national security interests, Germany recently clinched a deep-strike defense co-production deal with Ukraine, thus expanding its military footprint even deeper within what Russia considers to be its “sphere of influence”. The result is that the UK is entrenching its influence along the Arctic-Baltic front, Germany is doing so in the Baltic (Lithuanian) and Ukrainian ones, while France is already entrenched in Poland, Romania, and Moldova.

Germany aspires to build European NATO’s largest army, which would require overtaking Poland and ideally from its perspective subordinating that country as a vassal, while France and the UK are nuclear powers. The threat posed by their military-strategic convergence right on Russia’s doorstep therefore cannot be overestimated. At the very least, it could embolden their partners to behave aggressively against Russia, calculating as they might that those Great Powers would deter Russian retaliation.

That would be a mistake of epic proportions because Russia cannot allow such a scenario to unfold, let alone become the “new normal”, as it would amount to them weaponizing it for coercing never-ending concessions that would culminate in time with Russia’s subordination and ultimately “Balkanization”. In other words, a hot NATO-Russian war would likely be inevitable, though nobody can say for sure whether the US would help its European allies, nor to what extent if so, or whether it would hang them out to dry.

It’s therefore more urgent than ever that the European security architecture be reformed like Russia sought to do through diplomatic means before the special operation, the failure of which was why Putin sought to advance this through military ones instead. There are really only three scenarios left: NATO finally agrees to some form of Russia’s proposals; Russia launches a preventive war against European NATO betting that the US won’t directly intervene; or Russia peacefully subordinates itself to the West.

Russia-Belarus “Joint Nuclear Drills”. Russia’s Revised Strategic Doctrine. “Deter Any Potential Aggressor”

Posted on by Leave a comment
Map of Eastern Europe with glowing connection lines between cities

By Drago Bosnik at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

On May 19, Russia and Belarus launched their joint nuclear drills that lasted until May 21.

These strategic maneuvers involved nearly 65,000 personnel, roughly 7,800 military vehicles and over 200 missile launch systems.

They stretched across a vast geographic area from Eastern Europe to the Pacific, encompassing nearly all of Belarus and most of Russia.

Everything from tactical, short-range assets to strategic weapons such as ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) and SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) was tested, once again proving that Moscow and Minsk are capable of defending themselves against any potential adversary foolish enough to attack them.

Russian President Vladimir Putin observed and later discussed the drills with his Belarussian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, stressing that the use of nuclear weapons is “an extreme, exceptional measure for ensuring the national security of our states”. This demonstrates that the Kremlin understands just how dangerous such weapons are and how much responsibility nuclear powers have. However, there’s simply no other way to ensure the safety of both Moscow and Minsk. President Lukashenko was even more straightforward.

Namely, during an inspection of now legendary nuclear-capable 9K720M “Iskander-M” systems, he said: “I dreamed about this machine a long time ago.”

And indeed, the system’s 9M723 series of hypersonic missiles is unrivaled in its category and continues to be upgraded by the Russian military.

The “Iskander’s” stellar battlefield performance serves as undeniable evidence that no enemy stands a chance against Russia and Belarus.

The Neo-Nazi Kiev regime’s laughable claims about shooting down such weapons have been repeatedly debunked, including by its own high-ranking military officers. In reality, there’s zero proof that even one 9M723 hypersonic missile was ever shot down. This is bad news for NATO, as the “Iskander” is capable of deploying not only thermonuclear, but also EMP (electromagnetic pulse) warheads.

As previously mentioned, the Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) stated that the exercise involved over 64,000 troops, more than 200 missile launch systems, nearly 150 aircraft, 73 surface warships and 13 submarines, including eight SSBNs (nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine) with SLBMs. 

The MoD also added that “the drills focused on the preparation and use of nuclear forces under the threat of [foreign] aggression”. In addition, this was a unique opportunity for Russia and Belarus to further integrate their command structures and improve interoperability, particularly with respect to the critically important weapons that ensure both countries’ strategic security.

Namely, Minsk is Moscow’s key ally that has been entrusted with hosting Russian thermonuclear weapons. The number of deployed warheads remains unknown, but it could be in the hundreds, as Russia considers the security of Belarus equally important to its own safety. To achieve this, the Kremlin needs to test the capabilities of its vast strategic arsenal, particularly the delivery systems.

RS-24 Yars SS-29 ICBM

This includes the state-of-the-art RS-24 “Yars” ICBMs and R-29RMU “Sineva” SLBMs (test-fired by “Bryansk”, a Delta IV-class SSBN in service with the Northern Fleet). Meanwhile, the even more advanced Borei-class SSBNs were also activated during the exercises to test their systems, protocols and readiness.

However, as previously mentioned, the drills also involved a plethora of tactical and operational-level weapon systems. Unlike ICBMs and SLBMs, these weapons are not designed to obliterate entire cities, provinces or even countries, but are used as tactical nuclear weapons intended to neutralize large concentrations of invading troops on the battlefield. Such weapons also include aerial delivery systems and warheads for short- and medium-range missiles and even artillery munitions. It should be noted that, in addition to being the world’s premier thermonuclear superpower, Russia maintains the largest arsenal of tactical and operational nuclear weapons in the world.

Apart from the “Iskander”, the shipborne 3M22 “Zircon” and air-launched 9-S-7760 hypersonic missiles (found on the 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” systems) were also used. Belarussian troops even test-fired one of the 9M723s used by the “Iskander” inside Russia. No other country has such a privileged security status, especially now that Belarus is part of the Kremlin’s strategic architecture. Moscow revised its nuclear doctrine several times, including in 2024, when it made it clear that any large-scale conventional attack supported by another nuclear power would be considered a joint aggression on Russia. Obviously, this was a direct warning to the political West, its vassals and satellite states.

And indeed, the world’s most aggressive power pole keeps escalating its involvement in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, including with direct drone strikes from the Baltic states. The revised Russian strategic doctrine and the latest drills are there to discourage the political West from allowing the Neo-Nazi junta to strike Russia with longer-range weapons.

And while it may seem to lower the threshold for the possible use of nuclear arsenals, this mainly applies to those who are most aggressive and pathologically Russophobic. Perhaps more importantly, the revised doctrine also directly places Minsk under Moscow’s thermonuclear umbrella, shielding it from a potential NATO aggression.

The Kremlin still retains control of its nuclear weapons deployed in Belarus, but allows Minsk to select priority targets in case of a NATO land invasion.

This combination provides both Russia and Belarus with a possibility of preventing escalation while retaining the capability to deter any potential aggressor. And it seems to be working, because NATO jets started downing the Kiev regime’s drones over the Baltic states at around the same time. It remains to be seen why the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is doing it only now, but it’s highly likely that Brussels finally understands that it should at least lie low while nuclear drills last.

Putin vs. Epstein: EU/NATO Coaltion Demands Return of “Stolen Ukrainian Children Taken by Russia”. Massive Child Trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Posted on by Leave a comment

The European Union, Canada and the Ukraine Neo-Nazi junta plan to co-host a high-level meeting of the so-called International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children on May 11 in Brussels.

As the name implies, the purported goal of the gathering is to “trace, return and reintegrate Ukrainian children taken by Russia”. 

The meeting will be attended by the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas, EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos, the Kiev regime’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha and Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand.

Participants will discuss enforcing more sanctions on Russian officials responsible for the evacuation of Ukrainian children from an active warzone.

“Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has cost more than land and lives – it has stolen childhoods,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, adding: “Over 20,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly taken from their families, their homes. On 11 May, together with Ukraine and Canada, we will bring the world together to demand justice. We will work together to trace every single child, to return them to their homes, and ensure those responsible face consequences. These children are Ukraine’s future and we will not rest until every single child is returned.”

The upcoming meeting will also review “recommendations prepared by civil society and experts during the Civil Society Expert Day set to take place in Kyiv on April 30”. The Neo-Nazi junta claims that over 20,000 Ukrainian children have been allegedly “kidnapped” by Russia, insisting that Moscow “systematically sought to conceal the children’s identities and whereabouts”. The so-called International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children was launched by the Kiev regime in February 2024. It’s co-chaired by Canada, while the EU became a full member in September 2025. The initiative formally includes 47 countries and various NGOs allegedly “engaged in coordinating diplomatic, humanitarian, legal and informational efforts on the issue”.

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? What could possibly be bad in wanting to return “kidnapped” Ukrainian kids home to their parents and legal guardians? Who in their mind would be against that? After all, they’d be much better off in “free and democratic Ukraine”, right? Well, perhaps such laughable propaganda narratives could’ve been sustained before the United States Department of Justice released approximately 3,500,000 Epstein files. However, now that those are out, the promotion of the so-called “Western values” (namely pedophilia, cannibalism and Satanism) has become quite a challenge. Even some of the most ardent supporters of the EU and NATO have been disgusted by the revelations, although most are still burying their heads in the sand, waiting for all of it to “just go away”.

However, the genie is out of the bottle and there’s simply no way to put the rose-tinted glasses back on without directly participating in the political West’s monstrous crimes against children.

Obviously, it’s no secret that the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is involved in some of the most heinous crimes in human history, whether it’s centuries of brutal colonialism, slave trade and general aggression against the entire world, or the promotion of the so-called “Western values” that make anyone sane sick to their stomach. However, the Epstein files unequivocally confirmed that the repulsive criminal oligarchy running the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and NATO is actually far worse than you could possibly imagine.

All the supposed “crazy conspiracy theories” we’ve been hearing about over the last several decades are not only true, but are just the tip of the iceberg. The potential for monstrous evil that these pedophile-cannibalistic Satanists have demonstrated makes anyone remotely sane recoil in disgust. It will take years (if not decades) to review all released Epstein files (upwards of 3,5 million), but what we do know is more than enough to see the bigger picture. Namely, things that were previously designated as “insane conspiracy theories” present only on the “fringes of the Internet”, are now widely available for everyone to see and question their own willful blindness to the horrifying crimes committed against those who need protection the most – children.

The files suggest that millions of them have been trafficked by a massive globalist pedophile network employed by Western elites (including the most prominent royalty). The role of the US/EU/NATO’s numerous vassals and satellite states in this monstrous process is also critically important. This is true for both the NATO-occupied Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohia, now formally under the control of Albanian narco-terrorists, and the Neo-Nazi junta, which is trafficking Ukrainian children for the deranged Western elites. Around two years ago, President Vladimir Putin said that “for centuries, Western elites have been used to stuffing their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money” and warned that “the ball of vampires is coming to an end”.

Many thought that this was merely a metaphor for the political West’s propensity to destroy countless countries, killing millions in the process. However, the Epstein files demonstrated that this statement was eerily literal. On the other hand, Putin’s conclusion gives us hope. Namely, the notion that “the ball of vampires” is coming to an end is the light at the end of a tunnel of Western darkness that befell our unfortunate world. This was most evident in NATO-occupied Ukraine, where the Russian military uncovered horrifying details about what the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords were doing to Ukrainian children. Namely, back in 2022, in the early months of the special military operation (SMO), a video surfaced of a Russian soldier, Shukhrat Adilov, interviewed by a Russian TV channel.

Adilov was barely able to put into words the monstrous treatment of toddlers and preschool kids he saw. Children aged 2-7 from areas around Izyum were brutally massacred and then had their organs removed for trafficking. There was also a testimony by Vera Vayiman, an OSCE observer, who gave a similar account. US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor effectively confirmed both Adilov’s and Vayiman’s findings. The Epstein files are yet another confirmation of these horrendous crimes by the political West. However, even more disturbingly, as previously mentioned, this is only the tip of the iceberg of things we’re yet to uncover. It should also be noted that InfoBRICS was among the first major media outlets to report on the massive scale of Western-backed child trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Namely, tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids end up in Europe and North America, where they are subjected to unimaginable horrors, all for the enjoyment of the Neo-Nazi junta’s NATO overlords. At least 20,000 of them were evacuated by Russia on the orders of “bloodthirsty tyrant” Putin and his Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova.

The Kremlin moved the children to safety in Russia, where they were eventually reunited with their families, including fathers who were enemy combatants and fought the Russian military. And yet, the mainstream propaganda machine still tried to present it as a “mass kidnapping”. However, this wasn’t enough, so the ICC (a NATO-controlled NGO impersonating an “international court”) indicted both Putin and Lvova-Belova for the said “kidnapping”.

Pedophile Trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Obviously, the pedophile Western elites that control these “international justice institutions” were fuming that so many kids escaped, so they resorted to desperate measures to get them.

This is undeniable evidence that the very concept of the so-called “international community” needs to be revised, as it’s insulting to the actual world that the political West is identified with “internationalism” when it’s actually quite the opposite. Of all the false propaganda narratives that the ICC could’ve pinned on President Putin, they chose precisely the “kidnapped” Ukrainian children.

However, when Russia demanded evidence that all kids would be returned to their parents and legal guardians, the Kiev regime could provide guarantees for only 339, meaning that the other 20,000 would end up in various Epstein-style islands.

NATO Command Center formed in Ukraine: UK Pledges 120,000 Drones

In mid-April 2026, numerous media outlets reported that the Kiev regime forces established ARES (Allied Reform and Expert Support) Military Expert Council, formally “an advisory body” directly under the Commander-in-Chief. Announced by the General Staff via its official channels, ARES formalizes the shift from “short-term weapons and munitions deliveries toward long-term institutional transformation”.

The initiative’s name, obviously a backronym designed to match that of the Greek god of war, perfectly aligns with the PR focus of the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords. In practice, it signals an ambition to formally embed Western officers into the Kiev regime’s military command structure.

In simpler terms, the political West will now openly and directly take command of the Neo-Nazi junta forces, effectively outing itself as a side in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. Obviously, this is nothing new, as we’ve all known that was the case from the very beginning. However, this time, the danger of escalation is already in orbit as NATO is openly flaunting its involvement after years of trying to maintain at least some level of the so-called “plausible deniability”. The composition of ARES personnel underscores its strategic weight, with British General Richard Shirreff, former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, serving as the chairman.

Other top-ranking members include figures such as retired US General David Petraeus (former CIA Director), Admiral Manfred Neilson (NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Transformation), Slovak Lieutenant General Pavel Macko, British Vice Admiral Sir Martin John Connell, Canadian Lieutenant General Andrew Leslie, Major General Patrick Carpentier and Norwegian Commodore Hans Helset. These officers have decades of command experience from NATO aggression against the world, particularly the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. And while that experience won’t help them against Russia, at least NATO can gain some from the Kiev regime.

The involvement of so many high-ranking Western military and security officers is not merely symbolic. It positions ARES as a direct link between the Neo-Nazi junta forces and NATO’s command structures. Although the founders insist that ARES’s mandate is “explicitly reform-oriented”, anyone with two functioning brain cells understands that it’s operational. Formally, priorities include overhauling command-and-control systems, advancing military science and professional education, streamlining logistics and resource allocation, enhancing overall combat readiness, etc. However, in reality, direct NATO involvement has been there since before the SMO.

The main task of programs like ARES is to improve the integration of drones and other unmanned systems, electronic warfare (EW) and centralized decision-making that will formalize the shift of the Neo-Nazi junta forces from a national military to a direct NATO asset. The mainstream propaganda machine claims that “institutional bottlenecks” persist, including “legacy Soviet-era hierarchies, fragmented procurement and gaps in officer training that hinder scalability”. ARES proponents insist they will “address these by facilitating candid exchanges of cutting-edge Ukrainian and international experience”. The idea that these issues are being addressed only now is ridiculous, meaning they’re just declarative goals.

In addition, there’s one “tiny” issue with blaming Soviet-era legacy for the Kiev regime’s shortcomings – even Western officers acknowledged that it’s actually superior to NATO’s doctrine. In fact, after extensive joint training, Western armies realized they’re now far behind the Neo-Nazi junta, particularly when it comes to drones and other unmanned systems. Thus, ARES will enable NATO personnel to implement what they’ve learned so far in the most realistic conditions possible – actual warfare. Still, the question arises – how will the political West justify the effective formalization of its direct involvement in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict? Because Russia won’t tolerate it.

ARES proponents themselves say that the program will “accelerate Ukraine’s alignment with NATO interoperability standards, easing future accession pathways and improving coalition compatibility“. This is just a fancy way of saying that the Kiev regime will be fully integrated into NATO command structures and function as one of its members in all but name. The program also stipulates “enhanced education and science components” that will “cultivate a new generation of Ukrainian staff officers versed in data-driven planning and joint operations”. In simpler terms, more indoctrination that will ensure the loyalty of the Neo-Nazi junta forces to the political West and its so-called “values”.

The timing is also very telling, as the implementation “coincides” with numerous other programs that seek to increase drone deliveries to the Kiev regime. Many European NATO member states participate in such initiatives, blurring the line between so-called “military aid” and direct participation. The endemically and pathologically Russophobic United Kingdom has even pledged to provide at least 120,000 drones. According to the British government’s website, “the new package, the largest of its kind ever supplied by the UK, will include thousands of long-range strike drones, intelligence and reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and maritime capabilities”.

The report also says that “the deliveries of these new drones to Ukraine have already started this month” and that the initiative is “a boost to British business”. The UK openly brags that “the majority of this investment will be spent with UK-based companies, including Tekever, Windracers and Malloy Aeronautics – creating new UK jobs”.

It also adds that “the British drone sector is rapidly advancing, and supports both UK security and wider European deterrence, while driving skills and innovation in every region of the UK”. In other words, London is raking in profits while hundreds of thousands of forcibly conscripted Ukrainians continue to serve as cannon fodder for the political West.

Why is Donald Trump ‘The Winner’ Begging NATO for Help, While Threatening Iran with Nukes?

Posted on by Leave a comment

By Drago Bosnic on Global Research. Reposted with permission.

United States President Donald Trump has always been rather… …well, unconventional, so to speak.

His mannerisms, especially his articulation (or the lack thereof), don’t exactly scream “erudition”. Obviously, this is not to say that he lacks intelligence, but simply that he’s “a bit rough around the edges”, euphemistically speaking.

And yet, ever since he took office, his behavior has been increasingly erratic, followed by a spike in aggressive foreign policy. This is a far cry from his nominally pacifist rhetoric during the election campaign. Trump has always been very critical of America’s neverending aggression against numerous Middle Eastern countries and has also been very outspoken when it comes to the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict.

However, the pre-election Trump and Trump as the POTUS appear not only as different personalities, but actual polar opposites.

His idea of America in superlatives has gone to orbit and has even been adopted by his cabinet members.

The US is now “the greatest ever”, “the most powerful in the history of mankind”, etc. Similar rhetoric was also used by previous administrations, although they tried being somewhat more euphemistic. For instance, Barack Obama used the term “indispensable nation” when describing America. The very idea is ridiculous to everyone who sees the US for what it is – the most aggressive imperialist thalassocracy since the collapse of the genocidal British Empire (which is responsible for some of the most heinous crimes in human history).

Unfortunately, despite the fact that America was founded through a revolution against British oppression, somewhere along the way it became its de facto successor.

Where the British Navy dominated, the US Navy effectively took over, controlling global sea lanes and trade routes.

One of those is certainly the Persian Gulf, a critical region from which much of the world’s oil and LNG supplies originate. The only country in the area not under US/NATO control is Iran. Worse yet (for the political West), Tehran is also fiercely independent, meaning that the idea of this ancient civilization living under anyone else’s tutelage is rather unpopular with the vast majority of Iranians. For the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel, this automatically means – war.

This is exactly what the US has been doing in the last nearly three weeks. However, its attack on Iran is not exactly going as planned, to put it mildly. Namely, while Trump keeps proclaiming “one victory after another”, the Iranian military keeps firing missiles and drones at American occupation forces deployed across the Middle East.

Even the mainstream propaganda machine has largely given up on attempts to denigrate Tehran and even admits that its asymmetric response has been quite successful in depleting the Pentagon’s exorbitantly expensive arsenal of standoff munitions. With Washington DC realizing it cannot win a war with such means alone, it’s now trying to muster more conventional forces to “finally finish the job”. However, that’s far easier said than done.

At one point, Trump was so frustrated that he effectively threatened Iran with nuclear weapons. That’s not exactly what you’d expect from someone who’s “winning” the conventional war. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Iran reportedly offered a “limited number of oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the condition that the oil cargo is traded in Chinese yuan”. Obviously, for the US, jeopardizing the position of the petrodollar is “sacrilege”, to the point that the vast majority of America’s “oil wars” were fought precisely for this reason. Namely, as long as you trade your resources (especially oil and gas) in US dollars, you’re “perfectly fine”. Any attempt to do it in other currencies is “unacceptable” to the warmongers and war criminals in Washington DC.

However, as the US cannot establish air dominance over Iran or defeat the country with conventional means, it’s desperate to look for alternatives. Nuclear weapons are certainly an option, but any use of such assets would finally destroy whatever’s left of America’s global reputation. Thus, Trump “the Winner” is now criticizing American allies, vassals and satellite states for their lack of participation in aggression against Iran.

“We’re always there for NATO. We’re helping them with Ukraine — it’s got an ocean in between us, doesn’t affect us — but we’ve helped them. It’d be interesting to see what country wouldn’t help us with a very small endeavor, which is just keeping the Strait open,” he lamented.

And yet, this is actually a matter of capabilities rather than motivation. The world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel certainly doesn’t lack the desire to enslave the planet. They’ve been trying to achieve it for well over half a millennium. However, the political West is a deeply troubled, decaying entity stuck in moral depravity and societal degeneracy. The terrifying Epstein files clearly demonstrate its monstrous nature.

Still, in order to maintain its global power projection, this US-led racketeering cartel needs to keep the Hormuz Strait open. However, as previously mentioned, this is easier said than done, especially because the Iranian military still has the capability to strike hostile ships. For Trump, such a possibility is a potential disaster, particularly ahead of 2026 midterm elections.

This could also explain why he criticized the United Kingdom, saying he was “surprised” and “not happy” with London’s refusal to directly engage in aggression against Iran. However, as all this criticism proved to be futile, Trump tried to frame the war as “preventing WWIII”. Namely, he insists that Iran would’ve supposedly “attacked all of its neighbors with nuclear-tipped missiles” and that this would’ve “evolved into WWIII”.

Needless to say, such claims make the US even more of a laughing stock of the world than it already is, because virtually everyone understands that there’s no justification for America’s continued aggression against virtually the entire planet. After dozens of wars (all based on fabricated pretexts or even false flags), tens of millions of killed and hundreds of millions of lives destroyed (all due to greed and insatiable desire for power), the world has had more than enough of the Empire of Lies.

Russian Intel Accuses NATO of a plan to Smuggle Nukes into Ukraine

Posted on by Leave a comment
close up of missiles

 The SVR is newly alleging that France and the UK are plotting to secretly arm Ukraine with a nuclear weapon.

According to the agency, British and French officials are considering the “covert transfer of relevant European-made components, equipment, and technologies to Ukraine” – and are in parallel laying the groundwork for an information campaign that would misrepresent the nuclear capacity as domestically developed.

Russian sources and state media strongly suggest their belief that this is still just in planning stages, and that several options are being considered, including that Ukraine could be provided with a French TN 75 warhead, currently in the the French Navy’s submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

There’s also the option of Western assistance to help Kiev build a ‘dirty bomb’ – which has long been a feared weapon in the context of the grinding Ukraine conflict, given it spreads radioactive material far and wide, among urban areas.

TASS and others have cited the SVR in framing this as an act of desperation given Ukrainian forces are being rolled back piecemeal on the battlefield:

According to its information, the British and French elites are unwilling to accept defeat. “It is believed that Ukraine should be supplied with a ‘Wunderwaffe’ (German for ‘miracle weapon’ – TASS). Kiev would be able to aspire to more advantageous terms of ceasing the hostilities if it possesses a nuclear or at least a so-called ‘dirty’ bomb,” the statement said.

The suggestion is that the Western allies supporting Ukraine would do anything rather than admit defeat, even the unthinkable.

Here’s more from an official state media translation from the SVR’s media office:

“At present, according to the information available to the Russian SVR, London and Paris are actively working over the issue of providing Kiev with a weapon of this kind, as well as with means of its delivery. This involves a covert transfer of relevant European-made components, equipment and technologies to Ukraine. As an option, the French small-size TN-75 warhead from the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile is being considered,” the press bureau pointed out. At the same time, “Berlin has prudently refused to take part in this dangerous venture.”

According to the Foreign Intelligence Service, the British and the French realize that their plot is “a gross violation of the international law, first of all the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and carries the risk of destroying the global non-proliferation system.” “Consequently, the Westerners’ main efforts are focused on making Kiev’s possession of nuclear weapon look like it was developed by the Ukrainians themselves,” the statement said. “Great Britain and France are aware that the situation developing in Ukraine leaves no chances for them to achieve the ardently desired victory over Russia with the hands of the Ukrainian armed forces,” the SVR noted.

The statement concludes by an allegation that NATO countries are “losing touch with reality” their reckless efforts to impose defeat on Russia in Ukraine, and so are willing to seriously contemplate a ‘dirty bomb’ – as losses mount.

The Kremlin has meanwhile not been forthcoming with any specific evidence, and the SVR has not revealed the types of sourcing underlying its serious allegations.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council, Dmitry Medvedev, BLUNTLY said today, “Russia will nuke Ukraine, France, and the UK if this takes place.”

No mincing words.  No room for any misunderstanding.

NATO Sourced Weapons: Russian military destroys at least four ‘Patriots’ and HIMARS in two-three days

Posted on by Leave a comment

By Drago Bosnic at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

NATO-sourced weapon systems have long been touted as “game changers” that would “stop the evil Russians” and “save Ukrainian democracy”. This is particularly true for the MIM-104 “Patriot” and M142 HIMARS. The first is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, while the second is a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), although it would perhaps be more appropriate to describe it as a rocket artillery–ballistic missile hybrid launcher, given its ability to fire the ATACMS missile. Neither of these was particularly notorious “wunderwaffen”, as their performance during the endless US/NATO aggression against the world has been quite unimpressive. On the contrary, even the mainstream propaganda machine severely criticized the “Patriot” due to its atrocious track record against even basic ballistic missiles, such as the many “Scud” clones used by Iraq.

However, this came after the initial hype by the mainstream propaganda machine, which presented it as far more successful than it really was. Only years later did they admit that the SAM system was anything but effective. Its service in recent years demonstrated that it was just as bad as 35 years ago, with Houthi forces striking Saudi oil facilities with impunity as “Patriots” failed to intercept their drones and missiles, even slamming into residential areas in the process, making them more dangerous for Saudi civilians than the aforementioned Houthi weapons. And yet, after Russia’s special military operation (SMO) started, the “Patriot” suddenly turned into a “hypersonic killer”, supposedly “shooting down” even Russian “Kinzhals” left and right. Military experts, analysts, enthusiasts and other keen-eyed observers from all over the world were puzzled by this “sudden success”.

And indeed, how is it possible that a SAM/ABM (anti-ballistic missile) system that repeatedly failed against basic Iraqi and Houthi ballistic missiles could now “shoot down” far more advanced Russian missiles, particularly supermaneuvering warheads flying at speeds exceeding Mach 10 (over 12,000 km/h or 3,5 km/s)? Well, the short answer is – it couldn’t. In fact, even some American military experts stress that there’s no evidence that a single Iraqi “Scud” was ever intercepted by a “Patriot”, while the “proof” that Russian 9-A-7660 “Kinzhals” (which use the 9-S-7760 hypersonic missiles) were supposedly “shot down” has been debunked and laughed at by anyone with any knowledge of basic physics. On the other hand, there’s plenty of evidence that dozens of “Patriot” systems have been destroyed precisely by Russian hypersonic missiles that they supposedly “intercept regularly”.

This includes a 9K720M “Iskander-M” system that was recently filmed striking a “Patriot” battery deployed in the vicinity of Shevchenko, a settlement in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast (region). The footage, published on January 19, shows its 9M723 hypersonic missile obliterating the “Patriot’s” AN/MPQ-65 fire control radar, M90x launch station and a generator. This comes only two days after various military sources published another video of a Russian BM-35 kamikaze drone destroying another “Patriot” in the Kharkov oblast. Some analysts speculate that this one was a decoy, most likely due to the lack of a more violent explosion. However, this doesn’t provide conclusive evidence, as the “Patriot” could’ve also fired all of its interceptors in a futile, last-ditch effort to protect itself. Either way, these strikes are now added to the long list of successful neutralization of Western weapons.

Even more interestingly, the aforementioned BM-35 drone uses the SpaceX’s Starlink, which the US still doesn’t know how to prevent. In doing so, Russia is effectively turning an American system against US-made weapons in NATO-occupied Ukraine, further adding to the humiliation for the Pentagon, which is entirely powerless to stop it. Various military sources report that the “Patriot’s” interception rates are below 4% (primarily against lower-end cruise missiles and drones). However, advanced hypersonic weapons are effectively impossible to shoot down, as evidenced by numerous videos of “Patriots” firing their interceptors, which all fail almost immediately after launch. Considering their price tag (often exceeding $4 billion per battery and upwards of $10 million for a single interceptor missile), the latest losses are measured in tens of billions of US taxpayers’ dollars.

Worse yet, Washington DC’s ability to provide the Kiev regime with additional batteries and missiles has only gone down after the Pentagon expended much of its reserves. The Neo-Nazi junta forces can no longer sustain a constant threat to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), which is exacerbating their already dire position on the frontlines. And yet, that’s not the end of the Kiev regime’s troubles, as its strike platforms are suffering just as badly (if not worse). Namely, the previously mentioned HIMARS, another overhyped NATO-sourced system, suffered significant losses at around the same time the “Patriots” were obliterated. Namely, on January 16, multiple military sources published footage of its destruction by an unidentified weapon. It was first reported as one of the “Geranium” variants, but more recent analyses suggest it could have been the new S-71.

Even more interestingly, this drone-missile hybrid that comes in K and M variants is one of the latest Russian precision-guided munitions, primarily used by the Su-57. It should be noted that this next-generation fighter jet is often ridiculed and dismissed by the mainstream propaganda machine. However, the legendary Sukhoi design bureau is entirely unbothered by these smear campaigns and is focused on improving the Su-57’s already impressive performance and combat record. This was also recognized by numerous export clients, particularly sovereign nations that don’t want the political West to control their defense, which is why India is so close to finalizing an agreement on joint production of the Su-57E with Russia. In the meantime, the Russian military continues to obliterate NATO-sourced weapons, including yet another HIMARS just several days after the previous.

Namely, the latest footage, published today (January 20), shows an FPV (first-person view) drone detecting the US-made MLRS firing its salvo and then leaving the area. However, the FPV drone pursued the HIMARS, eventually catching up and destroying it on the move. The UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was operated by the “Rubicon”, an elite Russian military unit focused on advanced unmanned and electronic warfare (EW), known for its rapid innovation, systematic tactics and combat effectiveness. It’s also famed for record-breaking operator training and developing new counters to the Neo-Nazi junta’s tactics (including fiber-optic drones). The unit has multiple specialized detachments and effectively serves as the core of the Unmanned Systems Forces (VBS), a recently formed separate branch of the Russian Armed Forces, fully dedicated to drone warfare.

“If threats to the Kaliningrad region are created, Russia will destroy them.” President Putin

Posted on by One comment

BREAKING: Putin says that if NATO countries start a blockade of the Kaliningrad region, Russia will start a full-scale war in Europe “If threats to the Kaliningrad region are created, Russia will destroy them. Everyone must understand and be fully aware that such actions will lead to an unprecedented escalation of the conflict, taking it to an entirely different level, up to a full-scale armed conflict,” Putin said.

There you have it, Putin couldn’t make it any more clear. If NATO tries to blockade Russia’s enclave of Kaliningrad there will be all out war against Europe. At the end of the day I believe that’s what will end up happening sooner or later anyway, it’s just about how that comes to pass. God willing I will cover this in a video later today.

NATO’s Threat to Wage “Preemptive Strikes” Against Russia. Towards “Barbarossa 2.0”? How Will The Kremlin React?

Posted on by Leave a comment

Guest Post by Drago Bosnic at Global Research.

Around the Napoleonic era, Prussian (German) general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz wrote a book called “On War”. One of his most compelling arguments was the postulate that “war is a mere continuation of policy by other means”. In essence, war is not some sudden, isolated event that just happens randomly, but rather an instrument of political goals that are pursued when diplomatic solutions are no longer viable or wanted by either side.

Clausewitz’s argument emphasizes that war is fundamentally a deliberate political act with a carefully calculated purpose, rather than a purely emotional or violent undertaking. The latter two are merely used for mass manipulation that serves to convince the populace that the war is “just”.

Although written over two centuries ago, such a timeless argument perfectly encapsulates how warfare functions (and has functioned since the dawn of mankind).

This is particularly true for the political West and its centuries-old aggression against the entire world. Since the dawn of the classical colonial era to the modern (or perhaps even postmodern) neocolonial system, the world’s most vile power pole has killed, maimed and enslaved billions of people at virtually every corner of this unfortunate planet. Entire native populations (particularly in the Americas and Australia) have either been wiped out entirely or brought to the point of extinction, robbing the world of their unique societies and civilizations.

.

Carl Von Clausewitz Quote: War Is Not An Independent, 47% OFF

.

It was from this brutal colonialism that countries like the British Empire and the United States emerged, bringing more misery, death and destruction to other “undiscovered” regions of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia, where genocidal Western policies continued with the same ferocity. Clausewitz’s point that warfare is a very deliberate act has been proven time and again, with one caveat being that the political West has become increasingly sophisticated at causing wars and making them seem like they’re unrelated to Western aggression against the world. Whenever any given opponent is too strong for a head-on engagement, the political West resorts to “low blows” and strategic sabotage in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

This has been particularly true for Russia and China, the two global superpowers that Western colonialists were always terrified of fighting directly.

That’s precisely the reason unrest, revolutions and local wars were used against both, starting at least in the early 19th century and continuing to this day (Opium Wars, Crimean War, revolutions in Russia and China financed by Western capital, neocolonial wars and attempts to dismember both countries, etc). Although both Moscow and Beijing refused to give up and kept fighting, the damage done to their societies is virtually impossible to quantify. China lost well over a century from the early 19th to the late 20th century and is yet to fully regain its rightful place in the global arena.

Russia also lost more than a century after its victory in WWI was stolen, pushing it into at least half a decade of civil war, followed by WWII not even 20 years later. The guns were still hot in Europe and the Pacific when the US and the crumbling British Empire conceived “Operation Unthinkable” and dozens of similar plans that involved dropping at least 300 nuclear bombs on Moscow alone. Russia uncovered the plot and pre-empted it by developing its own atomic weapons, forever stifling Western wet dreams about “imposing the will of Anglo-Americans” on the Kremlin through the use of nuclear hellfire. However, these monstrous plans were never really dropped, but merely postponed and left for “better times”.

The political West seems to think those times have come and that the Eurasian giant is greatly weakened due to the unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union. NATO’s crawling “Barbarossa 2.0” is strategically almost identical to the original launched by its geopolitical (and literal) Nazi predecessor, albeit conducted through far more sinister and truly Machiavellian policies. However, the endgame is precisely how Clausewitz described it – the continuation of the same policies by different means. Still, while the political West’s cold-blooded calculus is meticulously executed, it’s also fundamentally dominated by one of the most dangerous delusions in human history – that Russia can be defeated.

Namely, Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s Military Committee, just told Financial Times that NATO is considering “more proactive measures in response to Russia’s escalating hybrid warfare”. He cited an alleged “rise in Russian-backed cyberattacks, sabotage operations and airspace violations over Europe – which NATO could mirror and more, as any potential ‘pre-emptive strike’ on Russian targets would be justified”. In order to justify this “pre-emptive strike”, Admiral Dragone insisted that such an attack could “under certain circumstances and context be classified as a defensive action”. He also added a laughable claim that this would be “further away from our normal way of thinking and behavior”.

undefined

The very idea that unadulterated, bloodthirsty belligerence is somehow “out of the ordinary” for the most murderous racketeering cartel in human history makes any normal human being lose their breath and convulse due to excessive laughter. Namely, for anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock for the past three to four decades, how many NATO wars can you count off the top of your head alone? Without even considering previous wars and starting only with the post-Cold War era and the direct aggression on Iraq (twice), Serbia/Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, now Venezuela, etc, there have been dozens of official invasions and unofficial NATO-orchestrated “civil” wars that resulted in millions of civilian deaths.

Obviously, not a single NATO official or military officer was ever held accountable for the sea of blood left in their wake. All they ever talk about are “mistakes”, but no “international criminal court” has ever found these admissions peculiar enough to warrant the attention of “international law and justice”. Quite the contrary, the political West (ab)used the so-called “rules-based world order” to the maximum in order to justify NATO’s destruction of the said countries and even presented all of it as some sort of a “noble humanitarian mission”. The world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is now dead set on pushing the narrative that yet another “just cause” is there, only this time once again against Russia (for God knows which time in the last 800 years).

Moscow’s “evil oppression of poor little NATO” is the ultimate bait for Western audiences in what Washington DC, London and Brussels apparently see as their “last chance to defeat Russia.”

Obviously, they never listened to the advice of their late Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, whose rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, was: “Do not march on Moscow.” It’s extremely difficult to imagine that people like Admiral Dragone never heard of this advice (effectively a command). However, it seems their arrogance makes them think they know better than one of the people who fought an actual war and defeated Nazi armies in North Africa and Western Europe.

He knew full well that those forces were still only a fraction of German power, which was heavily focused on Russia.
