>>2377597>>2377601What I mean is that it's another mystery trivially solved.
I know the last OP originally replaced the Isg reference with a call to slam dunk a NATO baby.
The reason I can be sure of that is that I made it. Since then my change has been reverted.
Meaning the call is coming from inside the house, mods are the only ones who can edit post.
Stupid fucking people.
>>2377614Well, that's also not quite it. In that case we (whatever that means, people not completely riddled with westoid complexes) would not have a place here.
Yet, threads concerning world events ("development") are still generally anti-NATO leaning in the main.
>>2377582Why does he pause weapon flows only to resume them days later? lmao
That's like three (four?) times this year so far. It is…
1 Because he wants to pause them but ends up buckling under the media/diplomatic pressure?
2 It makes the Kremlin call off certain actions, and there's like months-long sluggishness in ordering those actions again.
3 (You) -> reason

the ability of the us or urop to supply weapons is diminishing, whether bronald wants to or not, manpower is also diminishing. they can't sustain indefinitely let alone "forever" and their ability to fight russia is in terminal decline. the time is approaching where the imperialists will have to decide whether they want to send their own meat to keep it going because "sending aid" will no longer work.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/ukraine-arrests-two-chinese-nationals-alleged-espionage-2025-07-09/KYIV, July 9 (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Wednesday it had detained two Chinese nationals suspected of collecting data on its prized Neptune anti-ship missile, a key part of Kyiv's growing domestic arms industry critical to its defence against Russia's invasion.
In a statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said it had arrested a 24-year-old former student in Kyiv after the service passed him technical documents related to Neptune production.
It later detained his father, who the SBU alleged had aimed to pass the documents to Chinese special services. The agency added that he lived in China but visited Ukraine to "personally coordinate" his son's work.
The Chinese Embassy in Kyiv did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Ukrainian official told Reuters the two men were the first Chinese spies arrested since Moscow's 2022 full-scale invasion.
Ukraine's Neptune missile was used to destroy the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in the first months of the war, and has since been fired at other targets including Russian oil terminals.
Kyiv has sanctioned Chinese companies for allegedly supplying Russia's military effort in Ukraine. It also said it has captured Chinese nationals on the battlefield.
Beijing, a close ally of Moscow, says it has not armed any party in the war.
Oh noes, now even KPRF is officially admitting that Khruschev Lied! What ever will the libs and ultras say now, that "admissions" of 90s turned into admissions that "admissions" were self-incriminatory reports? In 80-90s they spokefrom the heart, and the very same people in 2025 are now forced under the threat of execution to say otherwise, eh?
https://kprf.ru/party-live/cknews/235885.htmlThe resolution "On restoring the fullness of historical justice in relation to Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin", adopted by the Congress on the initiative of G.A. Zyuganov, caused a great public outcry. It condemns the decisions of the XX and XXII congresses of the CPSU concerning J.V. Stalin, Khrushchev's report on the personality cult of Stalin is recognized as erroneous, biased, distorting the truth about Stalin's state and party activities, Khrushchev's report contains falsified facts and false accusations against Generalissimo of Victory.
The resolution was approved by the famous historian Evgeny Spitsyn, who is glad that he participated in its preparation.
>>2379611Communists are such a joke.
You people care more about 'owning the ultras', doing sectarian around generations dead people and being vindicated for history that literally nobody else remembers or cares about than you ever have about building a movement, It's so pathetic.
This is why people turn to anarchism and so on, because, effective or no they still actually do shit.
>>2379623Yes, shit they do indeed, those anarchists of yours.
>>2379626KPRF is just a fake party for the old folks - who don't even read party's newspapers anymore. Membership is mostly people who never show up anywhere and don't retract their membership because they don't care. KPRF exists as a platform for people who can't advance through United Russia, for some reason, or as an exploit of political agreements between parliamentary parties, so, basically, KPRF is giving membership to any politicians who want that. National-social-orthodox thingie is basically the combination of political leanings of old folks and nominally-communist politicians

I agree with FSB in having those two imbeciles stand on the burger flag. Have them desacrate their idol. Reminds me of pitesti prison. Thats how libtards should be treated.

>Despite documented instances of horrific war crimes committed by U.S. troops in Vietnam, such as the My Lai massacre, the public came to accept the dolchstoss idea as a means of shielding the military and blaming weak and treacherous politicians and peace activists. So great was the fear of dolchstoss accusations in Washington, that Nixon and Kissinger prolonged the Vietnam war for several years to secure “peace with honor,” and supplied the doomed South Vietnamese government with vast stocks of weapons before withdrawing U.S. forces.
>It is this same fear that motivates Trump to keep pouring money and weapons into Ukraine. Despite some cutbacks in military aid caused by depleted U.S. arms stocks, Ukraine remains on financial and military life support from the U.S. and NATO. Trump does not want to be the President who “lost Ukraine.” Thus, he is trying to achieve a “win” by persuading Ukraine and Russia to make peace, despite their unwillingness to settle for less than their maximal demands. Unfortunately for Ukraine and Trump, Russia increasingly has the upper hand on the battlefield, and it is likely just a matter of time before Ukraine is forced to sue for peace. Then will come the dolchstoss claim, which Trump will try to dodge.[…]
>When the war in Ukraine ends, the advocates of this debacle will escape negative consequences by claiming that Ukraine was stabbed in the back by weak U.S. politicians intimidated by Russia. They will maintain that if the U.S. had unleashed sufficient force against Russia victory would have been achieved and that the risk of a global nuclear war was negligible. Protected by this argument, they will move on briskly to advocating war against China over Taiwan, confident that, if necessary, another stab in the back campaign will cover up another military disaster. Perhaps U.S. citizens will eventually realize that it is they who are being stabbed in the back by incorrigible war mongers. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/07/will-russia-greatly-accelerate-its-ukraine-tempo-to-facilitate-responding-to-turkiye-azerbaijan-threat-to-iran.htmlWill Russia Greatly Accelerate Its Ukraine Tempo to Facilitate Responding to Turkiye-Azerbaijan Threat to Iran?
>We’re soon going to discuss the headline thesis, advanced by Douglas Macgregor in a new discussion on Daniel Davis’ Deep Dive channel, that threats in Central Asia will press Russia to move much faster than it might have otherwise to wrap up the Ukraine conflict. While this view is certainly plausible, and bears monitoring, consider some context:
>Russia has been picking up the pace all spring/early summer and already ratcheted it tempo up another gear or two with its close-to-daily massive drone and missile strikes across Ukraine, with Kiev regularly getting pounded much harder than before. Note the increased air barrage took place almost immediately after Trump’s recent chat with Putin, after which Trump complained vociferously about Putin’s refusal to budge an iota on his existing demands. That call took place shortly after press reports of pauses of shipments of key weapons categories to Ukraine, such as Patriot and Hellfire missiles. Note that Trump reversed that in the last 24 hours after a talk with Zelensky. But given dwindling and badly-taxed stocks due to the 12 day war with Iran, and the perceived need to restore Israel’s defenses, it is hard to think any additional deliveries will be much higher than a token level.
>The sharp increase in Russian missile/drone barrages right after the Trump-Putin discussion was not a result of that talk since targeting does not happen quite that quickly. But if Trump felt embarrassed, so much the better.
>To get more of a sense of where things stand, please see another video from Daniel Davis below. Even though it is from a couple of days ago, it highlights some telling changes in how Russia is prosecuting the war.
>While Russia is still hewing to its attritional approach, now described as “lava flow,” of pressing along the entire line of contact, note that Russia is now often bypassing cities to seek to substantially encircle them and/or cut their supply lines further west. I am not a military person, but this says to me that Russia feels it has enough control of the battle space that it can leave what amounts to local flanks open, confident that Ukraine can’t mount much of an attack on them. To put it another way, earlier in the war, you’d here commentators like Dima of Military Summary point to a Russian operation as sometimes intended to shorten the front line. Now Russia appears indifferent to extended front lines (due to lots of local incursions into Ukraine territory) as putting even more stress on depleted Ukraine forces.
>Indeed, in a bit of cheek, Lavrov has added to the list, saying that a peace deal with Ukraine must include the return of the Russian frozen assets (something beyond Kiev’s ability to deliver), no Ukraine in the EU, and Ukraine re-committing to its 1991 deal with Russia, which included a commitment to neutrality and no nukes.
>However, despite Davis’ excitement that per his headline, the eastern front could collapse, Mark Sleboda, who has been by far the most accurate English language YouTube commentator on the trajectory of the war, says it could be another year or even two before the conflict is wound up. In his latest post, Simplicius quoted Le Figaro in estimating the Ukraine forces at under 400,000 versus about 650,000 in theater for Russia. Something presumably in the 350,000 to 400,000 range is a bigger number than I expected given Pentagon reports as of year-end that Ukraine would be out of troops in six months.
>Also bear in mind that Russia has taken only one of the four oblasts it deems to be part of Russia. Yes, Russia is happy to have Ukraine keep bringing men and material to contact lines that are not far from Russia. But at a minimum, Russia has to occupy and clear these oblasts at some point. “Clearing” becomes important to reduce later terrorism.
>John Helmer argues in a post over the weekend that the US admission it was having trouble continuing to supply Ukraine (even if it has tried to walk that back) is confirmation that the US support is close to a tipping point, which will then lead the General Staff to recommend greatly increases the intensity of the attack.1 Keep in mind that Helmer has good contacts at the General Staff; among other things, they enabled him to do a great deal of exclusive reporting on the Russian electricity war against Ukraine. Helmer has also described General Staff frustration, that they believe that Russia could have ended the conflict long ago by acting to greatly reduce Ukraine’s electricity generation and distribution, but they’ve been checked by the political leadership. Perhaps Putin is loath to create the resulting Gaza North (albeit of the ethnic cleansing rather than genocide type) that would result. Perhaps he hopes to limit physical destruction so as to reduce rebuilding costs. Or maybe he hopes that a slower campaign will wear out more of the public, leading more of those who can to depart and more of those who remain to accept Russia rule of some form as less bad than continuing the war.
>NATO has so clearly lost its mind that it can’t possibly get any crazier than it is now. So whether Russia merely crosses the Dnieper or goes to the Polish border seems unlikely to make a practical difference in what they do:
<VLADIMIR PUTIN🇷🇺:
<‘They invented that Russia wants to attack NATO. Have you completely lost your minds? Dumb as this table? It’s nonsense. Utter rubbish.’
<‘It would be rubbish if it wasn’t a plan just to trick their own population by saying ‘Help! Russia is going to attack soon, we must arm ourselves urgently, send weapons to an Ukraine.’ In reality it is done to preserve their own imperial standing and might.’
<‘Look at NATO’s potential and Russia’s potential, did you decide we’re crazy or something?’
>Details from Helmer’s account:
< A Moscow source in a position to know explains: “The Russian calculus recognizes the tipping point [for US arms supplies to the Ukraine]. Until then the General Staff will grind away methodically, slowly. Then when the Western supplies run low, we will hit fast and hard. If you total the June attacks, the picture emerges clearly that Putin has chosen the Oreshnik option – without firing it yet — over compromising on Trump’s terms. The outskirts of Kiev are burning like never before.”
>An aside: one way Ukraine might crack is if Zelensky and his circle abandon Kiev. Recall he is a physical coward; he was apparently afraid for his personal safety when Russian forced got close to Kiev in 2022 and calmed down only when he got assurances that the Russians weren’t out to kill him. We featured this tweet in Links today; it may be disinfo, but the fact that Kiev has been taking serious and sustained strikes for the first time in the conflict can’t be good for Zelensky’s peace of mind.
>Back to Helmer:
< The first announcement came from the Pentagon on July 1. “The Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low.” The sources were authorized to identify Elbridge Colby, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, “after a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles”. “The Pentagon had been dividing munitions into categories of criticality since February, over concerns that the DOD was using too many air defense munitions in Yemen…Plans were in place to redirect key munitions, including artillery shells, tank shells, and air defense systems, back to the U.S. homeland or to Israel.”..
< The Colby-[Deputy Defense Secretary Stephe] Feinberg idea was….to persuade Trump the Israel war should take priority over the Ukraine war; and that if that choice was made public, the Jewish lobby would prevail over the Ukraine lobby in supporting the president. Trump was also persuaded to acknowledge publicly there is a domestic shortfall of weapons, and in private get Putin to accept the ceasefire Trump had been promoting since their first telephone call on February 12.
< Trump dutifully announced at the NATO summit on June 25: “we’re going to see if we can make some [arms] available, they’re very hard to get”…
< Putin has acknowledged publicly there has been no movement from Washington or Kiev towards the Russian end-of-war terms. “These [Russian, US-Ukrainian] are two absolutely opposing memorandums,” he told the press, “but that is precisely why talks are set up and held – to find ways to bring positions closer. The fact that they were diametrically opposed does not seem surprising to me, either. I would not like to go into details, as I believe it would be counterproductive – even harmful – to get ahead of the talks.”
< From Ushakov’s read-out of the July 3 call, it is clear Trump and Putin were unable to agree on a date for a new round of Istanbul negotiations. “The two presidents will naturally continue communicating and will have another conversation soon,” Ushakov reported. This is Russian for don’t call me, I’ll call you.
< The General Staff then launched its largest air attack on Kiev since the war began, continuing the operation from the night of July 4 through the night of July 5. The majority of the weapons used were Russian and Iranian drones. According to Boris Rozhin, the leading military blogger in Moscow, “it is not entirely clear how the supply of missiles for the Patriot air defence system — if the United States will allow them — will save Ukraine from the growing flow of Gerans [and Gerberas ]. Shooting down the Geran heroes with Patriot missiles is absolutely pointless from an economic point of view.” July 4 Min 22:54…
< The Moscow consensus now is to escalate westwards from the front on the ground, and by air attack on Kiev, and wait for Trump. “Either Trump agrees on fresh direct shipments, or he will pretend that indirect shipments are a compromise, or he will abandon Zelensky to his fate. So we talk peace and keep moving on all fronts, keep hitting everything military. It is fast reaching the point where even if there was no Israel sector, Iran sector, Yemen sector, the US cannot save Ukraine. The US and Europe certainly can’t defeat Russia. That’s the calculus.”
>In other words, while Helmer anticipates a difference in degree in how Russia prosecutes the war, he does not yet see a difference in kind.
>Contrast this with the latest view from Douglas Macgregor. One big caveat is in order; Macgregor, like many US military men, cannot wrap his mind around the Russian attritional approach and keeps positing that at some point they will revert to a great big arrow attack. Nevertheless, he focuses on the issue that Conor, in a must-read post, and others have taken up in the last couple of week: Turkiye-Azerbaijan big time troublemaking. Macgregor sees this as a prelude to an invasion of Iran to bite off a piece:2
>Starting a bit after 6:00, by Macgregor:
< President Putin and his his leadership were understandably very focused on Ukraine. And being so focused on Ukraine, I think they took their eye off the ball in the Caucasus. They weren’t watching carefully what Mr. Aliyev, the president of Azerban, was up to. I don’t think they really worried about it because Aliyev’s father who was a KGB major general, a member of the pilot bureau and was viewed as absolutely loyal uh to both the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia suggested there was nothing to worry about in Azerbaijan.
< Well, that’s turned out to be wrong. The Azeris have formed a very close relationship with Israel and that relationship also includes greater Turkey. In other words, Mr. Erdogan, but primarily Israel and Erdogan and the United States all share a similar interest right now in Azerban. That is to destabilize and harm Iran in any way possible.
< Well, what’s the worst thing that could happen to Iran? Well, the worst thing that could happen to Iran is for the Iranian country, the nation itself, to break up. And we know for a very long time that Iran has had various pockets of nationalities, though well integrated and part of the Iranian national state and society, they nevertheless still exist. And and that includes the Azeri Turk population in northwestern Iran. There is now a a definite deliberate conscious what use whatever terms you want planned to invade northern Iran by Azerban in the hopes of raising a rebellion in northwestern Iran centered around Tamre which is the center of the Turk population in northwestern Iran. There are lots of Azeris in Iran who are currently interested in this. So the threat to Iran is very real.
< That’s one part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that Azerbaijn was already offering or providing a platform for use by the Mossad, MI6 and CIA against Iran. We’re not sure how much was used. In other words, did they launch drones? Probably, but they certainly moved agents from Azerbaijn into Iran, which were then able to set up and and cause havoc inside Iran during the 12-day war. So th this is part of the problem.
< And then you have to look further to the west at Syria. Understand that Syria is basically part of greater Turkey. Everything that happens in in Syria happens because Mr. Erdogan wants it to or doesn’t want it to. Golani is not an independent agent. He is a figurehead. And Erdogan for the moment wants to get along with the Jewish state. However, there are limitations to his cooperation… Golani is just a figurehead in Syria that we, the Israelis, MI6, in other words, US CIA and Erdogan installed.
< So Erdogan was always interested in dislodging Assad, but for reasons that were different from the Israelis. The Israelis are now in southern Iran and they intend to stay there. So they say this is a permanent point of friction with Turkey. Uh the Turks would like to see the Russians leave, but they don’t want a confrontation with the Russians, but they would like to control what today we call northern Lebanon as well as this enclave of Syria that touches the Mediterranean.
< So the Turks have certain goals uh in the region. The Israelis have their own greater Israel goals. Azerbaijan wants to create greater Azerbajan as part of a greater Turk enclave or confederation if you will with the hope of eventually exercising some degree of hegemony over the region. Then you have Iran to the south of Azerbaijan that is preparing for another round in the war. They I think they expect the war to restart probably in in September. it will take that long for radars, missiles, munitions, and other things to find their way to Israel. So, they’re preparing for the next round of war. And at the same time, they’re looking at this probable invasion from Azerbaijn, which they probably expect to coincide with an Israeli resumption of the war against them.
< Now, if you’re sitting in Moscow and you realize all of these things have happened, it’s unraveling to some extent Moscow’s southern security area. In other words, Azerban was seen as a component of Russian security strategy, as a as a friend, as someone that would be a force for stability. Azerban has turned out to be the opposite. So, the Russians are going, I think, to accelerate the end of the war in Ukraine.
>Helmer foresees Russia increasing the tempo in Ukraine strictly due to considerations in that theater. Macgregor argues that the unexpected threat in the Caucasus will pressure Russia to greatly accelerate its timetable. It may not be easy to see who has made the better call, but again keep in mind that Helmer was early to describe that Russia could drop the electricity war hammer on Ukraine. Use of that tool, which Russia has held off deploying in full, might indicate that Macgregor is correct.
>In the meantime, the pacing of the war has implications for whether Russia can win the peace (or at least keep disruption to a very low level). We’ll turn to that in a later post.
Chaos in the Caucasus: The Great Armenian Sell Out and Turkish/NATO Dreams of a Turan Corridor Stretching to China
On Monday we looked at Azerbaijan’s deteriorating relationship with Russia on manufactured grounds—with a heavy assist from the US and Israel—and how it fits into a long-planned Turkic corridor project slicing through the South Caucasus. Key to that plan is Armenia where the US and company have been laying the groundwork for this operation for years. We’re now seeing it come more fully into the light. Let’s examine what’s taking place in Armenia before turning to Türkiye and wider implications for the Eurasian heartland.
Armenia’s Least Worst Option: Beg Russia for Help (But That’s Not Going to Happen)
The US with heavy French involvement, has successfully turned to Armenia into a tool of the West in recent years. The US has one of its largest embassies in the world in Armenia and even a representative of the US armed forces embedded in the Armenian Defense Ministry. The biggest problem for the West was that the plan to get a stooge government in Georgia failed — an effort that isn’t completely dead, but it’s on life support, and with it the logistics to Armenia.
Nonetheless, the Armenian government, by most objective accounts acting against the interests of its people, has successfully eroded ties with Russia over the past few years,[1] despite Moscow being the historic counterweight to the designs of Türkiye and Azerbaijan. Why did the Armenian government of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan do this? Hard to say for certain. The charitable view is that was a clumsy rebalancing act. Either way, Armenia is now in an untenable position, and it looks like the final sell-out has begun.
There is now talk that the US, having abandoned the plan to weasel itself more comfortably militarily into Armenia, is instead content to turn the job over to Türkiye and Azerbaijan. It’s also possible this was the plan all along and that resistance from the Armenian government and tensions between Azerbaijan and the West were just a feint that are so in vogue in the West nowadays. It would make sense that the plan to open the Turan Corridor not get the green light until Armenia had successfully pushed Russia out of any involvement. That now appears to be the case unless Armenia does an about face and pleads for Moscow’s help, and/or Russia were to forcefully intervene.
As of now, the government in Yerevan is doubling down on its anti-Russia stance as it arrests clergymen and businesspeople who were allegedly plotting a coup. Armenia is speeding towards nationalizing a power grid owned by jailed Russian businessman as Pashinyan stated there is a “high probability that certain circles in Russia are behind these hybrid operations and this hybrid war.” One thing Armenia has not done yet is make any request that Russia vacate its military base in the country — one Russia is reportedly reinforcing:
<Russia is increasing its military presence in Armenia, according to Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (GUR), which reports that the Kremlin has accelerated the reinforcement of its military base in Gyumri as part of a broader effort to exert pressure on countries in the South Caucasus. Recruitment efforts are reportedly underway in Russia’s Rostov and Volgograd regions, in Crimea, and among volunteers from the North Caucasus, including North Ossetia and Adygea.
>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently commented on the upheaval, saying the following:
< “This is, of course, an internal matter for Armenia,” he stated. “We are, of course, interested in the preservation of law and order in Armenia, so that Armenia is a prosperous, stable country, friendly to Russia.”
>The archbishops who have been detained are key members of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which has been the main driver of protests against Pashinyan over his policies towards Azerbaijan, which some see as a betrayal of Armenian interests.
>Included in the arrests is Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of the Sacred Struggle opposition movement. Galstanyan was educated in the U.K. and Canada and in recent years has risen to prominence due to his opposition to any land deals with Azerbaijan. He has the support of much of the political opposition, as well as the Sasna Tsrer organization, an extra-parliamentary force that is anti-Russian, pro-West, and has perpetrated political violence in the past.
>Public outcry and protests have followed the crackdown with some leading to clashes with police. The arrests began as Pashinyan made a historic visit to Istanbul to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
>And just prior to that trip to Türkiye the situation had seemingly reached a point of no return with the head of the Armenian Church accusing Pashinyan of being circumcised in comparing him to Judas. Pashinyan responded that he was ready to ‘“prove the opposite.”
>Setting aside the status of Pashinyan’s foreskin, where does this all leave us?
>Should Pashinyan be looking to make some sort of deal with Türkiye and Azerbaijan, it would help explain the crackdown on the opposition. There is a fear among the Armenian opposition that Pashinyan will agree to—if he hasn’t already—cede territory to allow Türkiye and Azerbaijan to open their coveted Zangezur Corridor. Note from the Monday post that Zangezur would not touch Iranian territory, nor does it mean that Turkiye and Azerbaijan would invade Iran, which seems far-fetched. It does, however, hurt both Russia and Iran economically, weakens their influence in the South Caucasus, and could potentially stir up trouble in Iran’s northwestern states. In other words, it’s a major headache that has significant long term consequences.
>And it’s fairly clear that the point from the 2020 Moscow-brokered peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan that Russia oversee any such Zangezur route will not be honored. While Russian officials remain tight-lipped, others aren’t being quite so diplomatic:
<Since returning from Turkey, Mr Pashinyan - or is it Effendi Pashinyan now - has unleashed a campaign of smears, searches and threats against the Armenian Apostolic Church and its head Catholicos Karekin II.
<To Armenians living in their homeland: what are you waiting for? For your sons to be beheaded, and your daughters to be enslaved into harems - again?
>Let’s contrast with the stance from EU:
<The EU and Armenia have never been closer. Today, we announced a political agreement on an ambitious Partnership Agenda. We also signed an agreement to enhance cooperation in crisis management. My press conference with
<@AraratMirzoyan↓
>Of course, Brussels and the US are very interested in a direct route to get their hands on all that Caspian and Central Asian fossil fuels and strategic minerals. They had hoped to do so through Georgia, but a Turkic corridor that simultaneously hurts Iran makes for a fine Plan B—even if it means turning to old friend/foe Erdogan.
>As the Atlantic Council so-eloquently put it a few years back: “Türkiye can become an energy hub—but not by going all-in on Russian gas.” Washington wants that gas to come from Azerbaijan and elsewhere in Central Asia.
<Türkiye Does Türkiye Things
>The relationship between Türkiye and the West is often described as transactional and with good reason. That’s usually how things get done with the second most important member of NATO (recall the deal for Türkiye to approve Sweden’s NATO accession in exchange for 40 F-16s).
>For months, the EU has been increasing Türkiye’s role in the bloc’s defense industries and it was recently capped off by news last week that the two sides will hold defense talks after a three-year pause. Ankara is looking for access to the EU’s new $170 billion defense fund.
>Perhaps the biggest news of all on this front is that, according to Erdogan, the US is easing up on 2017 the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). Washington imposed sanctions on Ankara in 2020 over its purchase of the Russian-made S-400 missile defense system. Erdogan said a month ago that the sanctions, which have hammered Türkiye’s defense sector, are softening and that steps toward lifting them are progressing rapidly, which Türkiye has insisted on for years.
>US Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack said recently that he expects a deal on lifting the sanctions by the end of the year, which would involve welcoming Türkiye back into the F-35 program.
>There was also the recent launch of a joint venture between Turkish drone maker Baykar and Italian defense contractor Leonardo (Leonardo has very close defense ties with Israel).
>Türkiye had for some time been trying to purchase 40 Eurofighter-Typhoon new-generation aircraft, but Germany was holding up the sale.
>That sensitive issue is now apparently resolved. According to the German Handelsblatt daily, Berlin is giving the green light.
>Recall that prior to the Syria offensive, Germany and others eased off a years-long unofficial embargo on defense exports to Türkiye. Two months ahead of that operation, Der Spiegel reported that Germany’s Federal Security Council, which meets in secret, was approving the sale of $368 million worth of heavy weaponry to Türkiye, as well as reconsidering Türkiye’s request to purchase Eurofighter warplanes.
>The big question is what is the West getting in return for all this recent goodwill? One could argue it’s an attempt to shore up NATO’s industrial base, which is severely lacking. That’s certainly possible.
>It could also be a cooperation with the US plan to further weasel its way into the Caucasus. While Türkiye’s moves eastwards via a link up with Azerbaijan through Armenia are part of its own grand visions for a Turkic corridor stretching into China and it has long insisted Armenia will cooperate one way or another, it likely took some deals to get Ankara to agree to the potential Washington role in that plan. This US policy is not a product of the Trump administration, but it certainly has its own motivations:
< The U.S. model envisions American business interests as a stabilizing force, similar to a recent deal involving rare earth minerals in Ukraine. One U.S. official reportedly told [Olesya Vardanyan of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace] that the plan could even lead to a Nobel Peace Prize for former President Donald Trump, suggesting that the initiative may become part of his broader foreign policy platform.
>Meanwhile, Türkiye’s eastwards march will ratchet up the pressure on Iran and Russia. Tehran is worried that Ankara’s visions of Pan-Turkism will incite ethnic unrest and divisions in the Azeri and Kurdish areas in the northwest of Iran. As Ali Nassar writes at The Cradle:
< It reveals a layered geopolitical project anchored in Pan-Turanist nationalism, Muslim Brotherhood-aligned political Islam, and strategic deployment of military and development tools – crafted to serve Ankara’s national interests while converging with NATO’s broader regional goals.
< …Pan-Turanism, an early 20th-century ideology premised on the unification of Turkic-speaking peoples from Anatolia to western China, has been resurrected in Ankara as a vehicle for geopolitical consolidation. Today, Turkiye deploys this vision to deepen its grip on Central Asia – particularly in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Azerbaijan.
< This ideological push is operationalized through the Organization of Turkic states, which functions as a joint political, economic, and security bloc linking Ankara with these post-Soviet republics.
>Türkiye and the West also have visions of using the Zangezur as an energy corridor to send fossil fuels and other resources from Central Asia and the Caspian westwards while cutting out Russia and Iran, all the while increasing their footprint in these countries, effectively carving out a chunk of the Eurasian “heartland.”
>I can’t find the comment right now, but someone here at NC said the Western Zionists see Iran as a game of Jenga. Is it fair to say Iran won the 12-Day War and that Russia is winning/has won in Ukraine? Yes.
>But the empire always has tricks up its sleeve, works on long timelines, and as Israel demonstrates daily, it has no red lines.
>Should Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Armenia make a move for Zangezur, the bet in think tank landia is that Iran and Russia are too preoccupied with their other conflicts against Western proxies to do all that much about it. We’ll see. Iran has called such a scheme a red line, and Tehran and Moscow will no doubt respond in some fashion.
>Economic measures are easy to envision. As Fitch Ratings notes, Armenia’s economy relies significantly on Russia for both trade and energy. For example, Armenia also currently pays Russia $165 per thousand cubic meters of gas, well below the market price in Europe, and Russia is Armenia’s number one trading partner. Due to Russian companies’ large investments in the Azerbaijani oil and gas sector, it is one of the bigger beneficiaries of Brussels’ efforts to increase energy imports from Azerbaijan in order to replace Russian supplies. Azerbaijan is also importing more Russian gas itself in order to meet its obligations to Europe. Türkiye gets nearly half of its natural gas and a quarter of its oil from Russia on good deals and profits from sending Turkstream gas on to Southeastern Europe.
>Will economic measures be enough, though? Moscow often seems convinced that at some point national self interest will kick in for these countries, as will an awareness that conflict would be devastating, but common sense is in short supply these days, and the US is proficient at getting rulers to go against their country’s national interest. As Yves detailed yesterday, Russia might in typical late fashion be coming to that conclusion. It’s important to note that the issue of Zangezur was a cause of friction between Moscow and Tehran with Iranian leadership alarmed while Russia thought it was going to be involved and benefit.
>They’re on the same page now. Is it too late to avoid violence? With drones being launched against Russia from Kazakhstan and against Iran from Azerbaijan, we could be well on our way towards a wider conflict.
>From the American neocon-Zionists perspective, if they set Russia and Iran’s backyard on fire, great. They’re happy to help provide the gasoline. And no doubt they’re already well on their way starting their next inferno while Moscow and Tehran try to put this one out.

>>2381193Yeah he took them off in 2022 when he invaded despite NATO’s warnings not to, but really, whenever something gets posted ITT that doesn’t show Ukraine in the best light, either as a society or a military, you or someone is reacting to that almost immediately to express an obsession with cuckoldry.
Is this like punching a pillow for you?
>>2381001>you are not a ukrainian citizen if you are not willing to get into a trench.Jesus… I was really expecting him openly say that anybody who isn't willing to fight should be shot on the spot. I mean he kinda did still, just not directly.
Ukraine isn't even fighting an enemy that is hell bent on exterminating every single Ukrainian. That is about the only scenario where a sane person would think that line of thinking is justified. They are however still facing only some political changes and reasonable territorial changes, but that is impossibility for fanatics like him. Those same fanatics will make this war into a war of obliteration of Ukrainian statehood by insisiting on continuing the war in every scenario, by any cost and by any means necessary. The point is not to prevent a defeat or achieve a victory. It's to prevent a humiliating defeat for these nazi retards who have put up too much of their own self respect into their idealistic version of Ukrainian state.
It really should be a Russian post-war goal for to make sure that these people they are not just killed domestically and abroad, but their memory and everything they stood for is not just destroyed, but totally humiliated and ruined. No by just destroying and smearing, but by materially and psychologically repairing and building and showing that the "occupier" was not the monster or unreasonable one, but the banderites and natoids were.
>>2381204Not even about humiliation, it’s that if they lose control of the situation then there’s no guarantee that people like Budanov will get out of the country safely before he gets arrested and
put on trial executed, painfully presumably, for kidnapping people. Thus these “non-citizens” are just as much of a threat to him as the Russian military is, if they’re not fighting then he is losing and if he loses they might be the ones putting the noose around his neck one day, so actually literally murdering them wholesale is bizarrely defensive for him. Especially considering that time he disappeared for months was likely over someone or some group already having a crack at him.
Such is fascist governance when the going gets tough.
>>2381204These people deface themselves well enough. Ukrainians cheer for Russian strikes on TCC already.
What we'll "surprisingly" find out as the regime is ground into pulp is that the people were overwhelmingly against maidan and its terrorist operations, but their disorganisation made them unable to fight back. That's how most bourgeois societies operate at the end of the day, only the tippy top of the whole empire was given some treats and those are being taken away very quickly. That's why the Russian Spring is so important: it shows that non-color revolution is still very much possible in Eastern Europe, even if the revolt's reach was cut short by its reactive nature and lack of the vanguard party.
>>2381304NGL, it is shocking how quickly the approval ratings of USA in Russia changed for the better. I guess Russia isn't a real threat to America after all.
Do normal Russians even dislike USA?

>>2381541https://www.cadtm.org/Russia-Origin-and-consequences-of-the-debt-repudiation-of-February-10-1918It's a pretty long read from ages ago.
Good historian who goes into why the Soviets pissed everyone off with debt repudiation and why it was essential in order for the USSR to survive.
Also anyone who reads this article in full will understand why Putin and anyone else who supports Tsarism is absolutely retarded.
>>2381562"debt repudiation" was just a casus belli for Westoids to keep the intervention going. They were trying to prove to their population that they HAVE TO keep troops on the ground, HAVE TO support white guards against Soviets, HAVE TO make somebody pay back the debts - and Soviets WERE WILLING to pay the debts, to some degree (with the exception of debts taken by white guards for the purpose of killing Soviets, and like Ukraine did recently in regards to Trump's offer).
As a rule of thumb, Westoid sources are imperialist cope and justification for war, while Soviet sources are the actual good shit that drives Westoids mad because it exposes them as warmongering, hypocratical retards - as what they truly are, as we can see right this fucking moment in Ukraine.
Their behaviour is so painly obvious today, and justifications of today are so painfully obvious as well, that it makes historical examples of same behaviour also painfully obvious by proxy. And Soviet historiography gets proven as the only one one worth mentioning, and Westoid one as being merely an impierliast interventionist hypocritical propaganda
>>2381562>>2381616Oh, and also, one of the defining features of Westoid intervention in USSR was 1) foreign troops unwilling to fight against Russians to the point of troops rebelling against orders, and so Westoid proapganda devolving into false promises, separating armies into reliable "elite shocktrooper" and unreliable communism-supporters, and occupation forces only ever willing to carry out police functions - while white guards were getting slaughtered by reds just outside the occupied cities - and Westoid generals being utterly unable to help white guards in any way. Troops were refusing to serve even as barrier troops, they were despising white guards this much. Westoid propaganda was presenting this intervention as keeping peace and order - and not as an intervention - and so troops could not be deployed, despite there being close to a million of intevention troops in RSFSR.
And then Soviets have also managed to negotiate separate debt settlements, so to say, and made Americans throw out Japanese out of Far East.
By the way, China today is also exploiting this division of imperialists and makes USA openly fight it's closest allies - Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, you know them.
>>2381648Furthermore I'll make another post with follow up on how it relates to Putin's retarded historical analysis of the First World War
https://jamestown.org/program/putin-re-interprets-russias-participation-in-the-first-world-war/
>Russia’s post-Soviet historiography found it difficult to integrate Tsarist Russia’s participation in the First World War into a national-heroic narrative. Although Russia fought that war (1914–1917) in pursuit of far-reaching territorial conquests, and backed by one group of European powers, the war resulted in Russia’s collapse. The Soviet victory in the Second World War with its attendant mythology left little room for the disastrous First War in Russia’s national remembrance. Cultivating the history of this war (along with that of White forces in the Russian Civil War of 1918–1920) became fashionable in Russian nationalist circles recently. Colonel Igor Girkin/Strelkov became known for organizing re-enactments of battles from that time (Ukrainska Pravda, April 30).<Putin’s rehabilitation of the Russian Empire and, recently, Greater-Russia nationalism, necessitated (as he said in his speech) “restoring the historical truth about the First World War” in that spirit. Putin’s August 1 speech outlines a new, state-approved, glorifying interpretation of Russia’s involvement in the First World War. Along with this, Putin resorts to a stab-in-the-back explanation of Tsarist Russia’s defeat and collapse.Putin’s speech attempts to explain this chain of events.
>1. “Russia was compelled to enter the First World War.” This is the opening sentence of the speech, but it lacks a follow-up. Putin does not explain who compelled Russia to enter the war, why or how.>2. In the Austrian-Serbian conflict, “Russia had to take up the challenge by defending the fraternal Slavic people.”>3. Russia fulfilled her allied obligations. Russia’s offensives into [eastern] Prussia and into [Austria’s eastern] Galicia disrupted the enemy’s plans, allowed the allies to hold the front and defend Paris.” >5. Characterizing the first Brusilov offensive as “legendary,” Putin builds the stab-in-the back theory on that legend: “That victory was stolen from the country. It was stolen by those who called for the defeat of their own fatherland and its army, sowed discord within Russia, and lunged to grab power, betraying the national interests.” Putin is alluding, of course, to the Bolsheviks. <He rejects Soviet historiography’s thesis that Russia participated in an “imperialist war.” Instead, “we restore the historical truth” about that war.So Putin:
>Says WW1 was not imperialist>Says that if Russia had won they would have received rich rewards>Forces through the "stab in the back" narrative blaming the Bolsheviks for the collapseThis runs directly counter to everything the historian here:
https://www.cadtm.org/Russia-Origin-and-consequences-of-the-debt-repudiation-of-February-10-1918pointed out with facts. Namely that Russia fought for the Allies because they were financially enslaved to Western banks, that Russia would not have received any rewards for their continued participation in the senseless wars, and that actually it was the Bolsheviks who saved Russia from foreign domination by freeing them from debt claims. These are all the facts CUCKTIN yes I said the word leaves out because anyone with a brain knows glorifying the Tsars or WW1 is retarded.
>>2381648I'm not disagreeing, but placing the whole Russian involvement in WW1 around debt is an idiocy. And, besides, indebtedness of Russia was mostly a propaganda tool used by Westoids to justifiy intervention. It was also used by Russian bourgeoisie as a way to garner support abroad, ala "who's going to pay back your money if we don't be in power?"
Like, see picrelated, this is a typical Westoid "we are the victims here!" kind of propaganda. Also:
>In 1986, the Soviet government settled a foreign compensation debt with the United Kingdom from the slavic sovereign default looming in 1917.[6]
>After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the newly formed Russian Federation had to not only come up with a new financial strategy for its future, but also had to consider repaying the billions of dollars the Soviet Union borrowed from abroad.[citation needed] In 1996, Paris and Moscow signed an accord for Russia to repay a nominal value of between $80 and $100 for each of the 4 million czarist bonds believed to remain in circulation in France, for a total payout of around $400 million.[7] Russia paid but not nearly as generously as the descendants of French bond buyers hoped.[8]
>By August 21, 2006, all the Soviet era debts to the west are considered to have been paid off by Russian Federation.[9] Following August 21, 2017, the last remaining Soviet Union foreign debt has been repaid, concluding all the Soviet Union legacy debts being repaid in full by Russian Federation.[10] It wasn't much, isn't it? And Soviets had diplomatic and trade and banking relationships with both UK and France even after "defaulting"/repudiating debts. In the end, it was merely a propaganda tool by the Westoids to justify invasion of RSFSR
>>2381666https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B3_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8Oh, and Russian wiki even mentions how RSFSR was demanding from Westoids to admit to causing insurmountable damage by their occupation, and thus it were Westoids who had to pay reparations isntead. But since Soviets are so graceful, let's just cancel both out
Soviets were also in agreement with France to pay certain amount of debt, but murder of French president by a white emigre, and a drastic shift of France towards anti-Soviet position, had put a stop to that
>>2382024Must suck to be a liberal losing to your supposed inferiors.
Nobody will stop and check, of course, for if they're losing because they became the inferior and started representing oppression in the modern world.

>>2381256>Ivan IvanovichOh c'mon that's not a real name
>>2381347>Wait For Trump has officially fallenOrange Man is getting tired of Putin's B.S.
>>2380376>It is this same fear that motivates Trump to keep pouring money and weapons into Ukraine. Despite some cutbacks in military aid caused by depleted U.S. arms stocks, Ukraine remains on financial and military life support from the U.S. and NATO. Trump does not want to be the President who “lost Ukraine.” Thus, he is trying to achieve a “win” by persuading Ukraine and Russia to make peace, despite their unwillingness to settle for less than their maximal demands. Unfortunately for Ukraine and Trump, Russia increasingly has the upper hand on the battlefield, and it is likely just a matter of time before Ukraine is forced to sue for peace. Then will come the dolchstoss claim, which Trump will try to dodge.they can always easily blame ukranians for that matter. After all "they are not involved", it's nato's mantra.
>by claiming that Ukraine was stabbed in the back by weak U.S. politicians intimidated by Russiaaaaand the ridiculous nationalists-banderites will believe this so.
>Perhaps U.S. citizens will eventually realize that it is they who are being stabbed in the back by incorrigible war mongers.amen. but unlikely.
>Also bear in mind that Russia has taken only one of the four oblasts it deems to be part of Russia. Yes, Russia is happy to have Ukraine keep bringing men and material to contact lines that are not far from Russia. But at a minimum, Russia has to occupy and clear these oblasts at some point. “Clearing” becomes important to reduce later terrorism.And not only clearing it, but also create a buffer zone.
>An aside: one way Ukraine might crack is if Zelensky and his circle abandon Kievthis seems to be the case, with all the Yermak shit going on.

Russia's 'anti-woke visa' woos Western expatriates
Russell has accomplished a milestone. The Australian was granted the "Shared Values Visa" from Russia. He posted his final visit to the authorities on his YouTube channel, "Traveling with Russell," which has 185,000 subscribers.
"I now have three years to live here, find a job and reside in Russia," Russell says to the camera. Seven weeks after it was published, the video has 43,000 views.
Russell is not the only person who wants to live in Russia. Many other accounts of Western emigrants who live or plan to live in Russia can be found on social media.
They mostly disagree with developments in their countries of origin, such as family, religion, LGBTQ+ people and migration. The prospect of a more conservative society also appeals to them.
Their social media activity might even be supported or guided by Russian officials, according to a report in March by the online magazine Important Stories. The report found that the Russian foreign broadcaster, RT, which is sanctioned or banned by many governments in Europe and elsewhere, has financed social media videos in which the immigrants praise their adopted land and criticize the countries they left behind. Within Russia, state media regularly report glowingly on the people who have made the country their home.
Russia's residence permit, informally referred to as an "anti-woke visa," is aimed at precisely this group of people. It seeks applicants who are the opposite of "woke," or committed to combating racist, sexist and social discrimination.
Citizens or permanent residents of European countries, the United States, Australia, Japan and some other countries have the right to apply for the "Shared Values Visa." They do not have to prove that they speak Russian or know anything about the country's culture or its laws. However, applicants must declare that they disagree with the policies of their country of origin. The visa is usually issued for three years and can be extended afterwards.
Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced the visa in August 2024 by decree. It states that it is designed to "provide humanitarian support to people who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values."
According to a spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of the Interior, 1,156 people had applied for the "Shared Values Visa" by May, nine months after its introduction. The largest group, comprising 224 came from Germany

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky claimed he had no idea about the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian Nazi collaborators during the World War II until confronted on the issue by Poland’s president, Andrzej Duda, the latter has told the Polish RMF24 broadcaster.
According to the president, Zelensky’s claim shows that Ukrainians are kept in the dark about their nation’s dark past. “He said to me: ‘Andrzej, I've never heard of the murders, the killing of Poles in western Ukraine, in Volhynia. They didn't teach us about it in school’,” Duda said, recounting one of his meetings with the Ukrainian leader.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry released a statement on Thursday, saying that historical events should be studied and discussed “without politicization.”
“On the eve of the day when the Republic of Poland commemorates the victims of the Volyn tragedy, Ukraine shares the pain and grief of the Polish people. At the same time, we do not forget about the numerous Ukrainians who became innocent victims of interethnic violence, political repression and deportation on the territory of Poland,” the statement continued.
Thoughts?
>>2382860>thoughtsLook, I brought a gaslight. it represents the absolute state of duda's statements, because someone pushes their poo-poo back to their insides, while they moan in placid extasis.
It's fair representation, and no one should be buying that bullcrap.
specially when agent Z confessed at some point that banderites did horrible things in ukraine, but he just deflected to some other gaslighting bullcrap.
>>2382491Bernays has been a disaster for the west. The only reason the west is winning is because most civilians are pacified lemmings and as such investments into propaganda and mass media have paid off a lot for the west. It's an old tactic really (turn their warriors into poets etc.) but the west really went full bananas trying to create their own virtual reality while the rest of the world stuck to materialism and tried to work within material reality. At some point I guess the idealists in the west realized that because materialism is truly dominant, they have to use their current materialist advantage to create an isolated virtual world where their idealism can have total supremacy. Fighting against the west is really difficult I guess.
Advanced material development -> Improvement of Idealism -> Creation of virtual reality
Notice how not even China can match westoid propaganda. It seems spheres of influence can only be measured by how effectively your propaganda can reach target audiences.
>>2383407because the US has pledged total support, and we now know for a fact Trump called Xi and threatened to bomb Beijing if he did.
Will China invade Taiwan this decade? It's likely. But the situation isn't opportune and Chinas amphibious landing fleet isn't ready yet. Chinas newest aircraft carrier isn't finished until the end of this year.
>>2383460GIVAS MORE MISSILES MISTUR TRUMP.
GIVAS MONEY. GIVAS MISSILES IN THE NAME OF PISS.
>>2383798Just a guess, but the meme I've got from talking with liberals is that nato has been "holding back for some reason." What exactly this means seems to change from person to person, like
>the US has 10,000 abrams why are they only sending XX?<why didn't nato enforce a no fly zone just like the Ukrainians wanted>why are they giving them f15s instead of f35s<the US military budget alone is a trillion dollars why isn't nato giving more>Russia would never dare attack nato just put boots on the ground and this would all be over in a few months/weeks/daysEtc etc
Basically they don't get that nato is doing all it can and this is it. Instead they entertain fantasies where nato is just not doing everything it could because uh they're afraid of crazy putin going nuclear or whatever.
>>23839011. war is profitable, and the longer it goes on the more profitable it is.
2. ukraine getting nukes (let alone using them) would likely cause russia to see the situation as a MAD scenario, which no one wants.
>>2385314>If Russia wins the war, what would be the implications? What would follow?We seem to be seeing the response right now, which is variously
>doubling down with calls to "rearm">open up new fonts by attacking Iran, stirring up trouble in the caucuses, and trying to incite the Central Asian republics against Russia and China>attempts to make up for the economic setback by squeezing other parts of the empireThe most significant changes seem to be happening in the US though, where it seems like the bourgeoisie are abandoning pretenses towards humanitarianism and instead are embracing open totalitarianism. Imo they deeply envy the accomplishments of Russia and China, but are so ideologically opposed to "central planning" and the resultant "communism" that their only hope to emulate it is with a return to 19th century labor relations, and eliminating democratic "interference" in any meaningful capacity.

>>2384908 case. The guy is a German citizen and got "sanctioned" by the EU, that is his personal and his wife's bank account are frozen, he has no access to his money, can't pay bills, can't get payed by employers and can't travel/move around, because he is forbidden to do so. He can't even buy food for himself and his pregnant wife. Reason given by the EU: he supposedly "divided German society" because he posted on Xitter that "the DDR was the better German state" and "the conflict in Ukraine is a fight between two imperialist blocs".
This is probably made into a legal precedent allowing the EU to crack down on any EU citizen critical of or not in line with mainstream EU politics (which are basically fascist at this point) under the so called Digital Services Act. The specific anti-communist and anti-DDR nature of this case are most likely courtesy of politcians from the fascist Visegrad bloc because it reeks so much after butthurt belt butthurt. People fly the DDR flag on 1st of May over here and nobody gives a fuck or complains, not even local AfD and CDU reactoids. I'm glad i never got into using Xitter but now i have to use Tor to lurk on /leftypol/ and German chans. I really really really hate the EU and the fucking butthurt belt even more now. Wouldn't mind if Poland, the Czeshits and Baltoids would accidently get nuked into oblivion (in Minecraft) tbh.
>>2385990His name is Hüseyin Doğru. He was also active with Pro Palestine protests.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually adressed the case on it's own in a recent press conference. They basically don't give a fuck what happened to him, despite him being a Germn citizen living in German.
https://www.jungewelt.de/artikel/502871.russland-sanktionen-der-feind-im-inneren.htmlhttps://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=135835 >>2385986>>2385991Tor is just a protocol. It can't be controlled by those who created it. Even if the German state for example runs some of the nodes, they still won't know who is who among the millions tor users and where that particular stream of traffic is coming from that they are seeing. Tor is good for one thing mainly and not just good, but perfect: plausible deniability. If the state really wants to hunt us down for our political beliefs, they will do it anyway based the profile they have already built on us from all our previous online and/or IRL political activities. Politics is a social affair and it is counterintuitive for political organizations to stay hidden.
There is little to no downside to using tor. Your ISP will see that you are using the network, but nothing beyond that, and using tor is not a crime in and of itself.

What's more, Germany is legally disadvantaged in terms of voting power in the EU relative to size. Meanwhile Poland benefits from so called "degressive proportionality".
>not the baltics and czechsSee above, the "Visegrad" butthurt belt forms an ultra reactionary anglocuck bloc in Brussels and they occupy the most important positions in the EU commission, which is the EU's most important decision making body. They are transforming the EU short term into a giant butthurt belt in their repsective ressorts and long term to a giant shithole entirely, because they are of course all rabid anti-communist, neoliberal tools of the bourgeoisie. Not to mention that these idiots wouldn't mind Europe going up in flames AGAIN just to troll Russia.
>literally merz is doubling down the drums against RussiaHe is, because he's always been a hardcore transatlanticist. However so far Germany was on the brakes in terms of escalation against Russia under all chancellors before Scholz and even Scholz caused lots and lots of concerned screeching in the butthurt belt due supposedly being too soft against Russia, i'm sure you remember. Maybe under Merz we are going to catch up to the most rabid warmongers, however inside NATO the UK are the most hawkish imperialists, inside the EU Poland-Lithuania are the worst. I actually don't know what's wrong with the Czechs in particular, but it seems to me that they are the most rabid and repressive anti-communists along the Baltoids inside the EU right now for some reason.
>>2386435They have carriers now?
They have carriers now.
>>2386430>If anything, Germany is the EU's budgetwell, man, that's basically what drives the EU. like literally, those who pushed Greece to the political crisis when Tsipras was in charge was the central bank of Germany.
you can name all the staff of the EU. that's like to name all the staffers of the UN, that doesn't mean the US is who pull the strings across the agency.
no one pushed merz to say "we are going to sanction the Nord Stream" it was him, and only him. scholz didn't even flinch when biden said the US would destroy the Nord Stream were Russia to attack Ukraine. No country on earth, except the US threatens Germany in the same way, including all other members of the EU. that tells you the chain of command.
The Russia-Ukraine War is an Inter-Imperialist Kabuki Theatre Retarded Slavic border dispute between two Fascist (Ukrainian Banderites versus Russian Vlasovites) Comprador Bourgeois U$ Puppet States (Ukraine is an open Comprador Periphery U$ puppet State while Russia is a Semi-Periphery Sub-Imperialist Crypto-Comprador U$ Crypto-Puppet State) that are both run by the same Criminal Cabal of Duel Citizen Zionist Haute Bourgeois Oligarchs that raped the vestiges of the USSR which was dismantled by the Khrushchevite Social Fascist/Social Imperialist Revisionist Clique which culminated in the Gorbachev Perestroika/Glasnost Capitalist Reforms and the Fake 1991 Coup attempt (the infamous “Project Hammer”) that placed the Degenerate Drunkard Yeltsin in power who officially dissolved the USSR, thus completing the Khrushchevite project which started with the poisoning of Joseph Stalin in 1953, and due to these facts, the U$ will never go to War with Putin’s Russia (Putin was handpicked by the Degenerate Drunkard Yeltsin, and was installed by the CIA/GRU/FSB False Flag Moscow Apartment Bombings which was the Casus Belli for the Genocidal Russian Imperialist Invasion of Chechnya, just like the 9/11 Mossad/CIA False Flag was both the Casus Belli for the Genocidal U$ Imperialist Invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the conclusion of “Project Hammer’, and the Mossad False Flag October 7th attack was the Casus Belli for the Zionist Genocide of Gaza), because they are a convenient Bogeyman to keep the EuroCucks under permanent U$ Occupation and eventual full annexation/absorption into the U$ Empire (every EuroCuck U$ Puppet State will eventually become a full blown U$ State) through NATO and the fake “European Union” designed to destroy all the Nations of Europe with a fake “European” National Identity (the absurdity of the concept of a single “European” National Identity is elucidated in the Video of the changing Ethnic Map of Europe over the past 2000 years that I posted, which shows that Europe is populated by dozens of Nations/Ethnic groups, divided into several large Ethno-Linguistic groups, most notably the Germanic peoples, Slavic Peoples, Romance Peoples, etc. all of which have been Migrating/Invading, Mixing, Assimilating, and Genociding each other for thousands of years), which will pave the way to them all being fully Americanized into “White” Racist Redneck Evangelical Protestant Euromutts with a massive impoverished underclass of Non-European migrants (mostly Arab Muslims fleeing Genocidal U$ Imperialist /Zionist Wars and Black Africans fleeing Neocolonial Imperialist Poverty/Exploitation/Starvation) who will be brutally exploited by U$/“European” Capitalists and used as a Scapegoat to transform Europe into a Islamophobic Zionist Christian Nationalist Fascist Shithole, which will eventually include Russia as well once their Bogeyman role is no longer needed, and whether the absorption of Russia into this fully Americanized “Europe” which are all officially U$ States, is a peaceful integration or the result of a violent Civil War/Collapse in Russia after Putin’s death is hard to predict, but it is worth noting that all Russian “Nukes” were dismantled during the Nunn-Luger program, so their is absolutely nothing stopping an eventual violent absorption of Russia, though I believe the “Russian” Oligarchs will make sure that the absorption is mostly Peaceful, in order to preserve their ill-gotten fiefdom, 😂🤣🤢🤮!
>>2386777yeah, still a maybe for me. problem is "admits". It could be just be another ukrainian lie or cover story, rather than an "admission".
they like to blame russia for everything under the sun anyway, and they might prefer to have people think it's russian mischief rather than unkrainian infighting which could raise questions about the stability of the regime.

>la la la I’m not listening la la la Russia too cucked to do anything la la laI guess because to accept that such people do eventually get assassinated by Russia kind of shatters the hope that Russia will lose based on its inability to hit such targets, is a new level for the thread tbh. That Ukraine will succeed because they’ll have systematically killed every Russian general and politician while Russia will never retaliate to anything in kind. If Russia does retaliate in kind, then naturally anyone and everyone in the Kievian government is a target after all.

We are preparing our new long-range strikes,” Zelensky wrote on X.>We will continue our active drone operations on Russian territory in response to their attacks. And as always, we will act asymmetrically, and effectively.>The Russians continue to use a specific tactic of terror against Ukraine – saturated strikes on cities and regions, trying to have around 300 shahed drones per attack.This is just terrorism then, right? Like that’s seemingly the only military goal, just to “bring the war on to Russian territory” with missiles and drones without elaborating on what the point or value of that would be, other than implying it would be revenge.
So therein lies with one of the issues with
>just strike Kiev until they surrender broThey haven’t surrendered to having their industrial capacity being showered with drones for weeks, the concerned don’t even seem to care because they wanted shit built outside of Ukraine anyway, but they’ve now got the optics to justify “asymmetrical attacks” with the sole purpose of bringing “war to Russian territory” and sure enough, people aren’t missing what he is getting at, they’re nodding their heads and accepting that perhaps attacking civilians is the way to end this conflict after all.

>deserves to get fucked over because their ruling class seeks support for their occupation from the far more powerful western ruling classDumb, it’s the fate expected for any nation that makes itself a vassal of western imperialism, this take implies that the opposite should be deserved and that there should be exceptions for the butthurt belters in a way the people who live under western-backed comprador and proxy governments outside of Europe don’t.
The difference is those non-European nations have populations who want their freedom but live under brutal repression as taught by the CIA, butthurt belters seem to be fucked off that they’ve taken on the role of fellow combative democracy-deliverers but aren’t getting the slice they feel they deserve, merely receiving the “crumbs” of imperialism.
Fuck off.
>>2387278Russia should have had their agents forge Polish passports, set up a fake Polish charity org, and then used that funding to procure drones to assassinate people in Kiev. And all of this should have been set up years before the war started and the drone assassinations should have started 24 hours before the invasion.
But unfortunately Cucktin and his military staff are not interested in the long term planning required to minimize Russian casualties and to guarantee success.

>bro bro no it can't be ethnic and nationality Azerbaijanis bro it must have been Russia bro they are feuding with Russia broLiterally a conspiracy theory. The facts are: two dead Azerbaijanis, who have (alleged by SBU) killed an SBU colonel. These are facts. Russian participation in the issue IS NOT PROVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST, because SBU has killed the only people who could have admitted to it.
You can cry, you can piss yourself, you aren't proving anything
>>2387309Also your link says
>Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said the murder was ordered by Russian intelligence services.So what’s the fact there? The Russians ordered it but they didn’t ackshually do it, it was two Azeris and that’s how they slipped past the all seeing SBU eye thus it shouldn’t count as a successful Russian assassination against a pretty high value target?
This all screams of damage control and cope tbh
>>2387326SBU claiming that Russians did it is not a fact, it's a claim. Two people dying is also unverifiable claim, but it is a category of events you don't really question.

>>2387968Looks like you refuse to understand and accept this, so I will try to repeat again, glue sniffer.
Ukrainian Aifroce is bombing pidors on their own territory every day because pidors failed to achieve air superiority in Ukraine for more than 3 years, so now their own airspace is contested.
>>2387974Firstly, source?
Secondly, air superiority doesn’t mean the Ukrainians can’t fly or that it’s impossible for them to drop two bombs from one fighter flying at tree level, just that the air space is controlled by Russia well enough that one plane with two bombs flying at tree level is all that is possible for the Ukrainian air force without almost certainly being shot down.
>Lovestruck US Air Force worker admits leaking secrets on dating appA lovestruck US Air Force employee has pleaded guilty to conspiring to transmit confidential national defense information after sharing military secrets information about the Russia-Ukraine war with a woman he met on a dating app
David Franklin Slater, a 64-year-old Nebraska resident and retired US Army lieutenant colonel, worked as a civilian employee of the US Air Force assigned to Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base and held a Top Secret security clearance from August 2021 to April 2022.
In this role, he attended briefings about Russia's war against Ukraine that were classified up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) — and signed a non-disclosure agreement stating that he understood that "negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or to be used to advantage by a foreign nation," according to court documents [PDF].
That didn’t stop Slater from sharing classified information with a woman who identified as a foreigner on an online dating platform.
Slater's supposed love interest is only referred to as "co-conspirator 1" in the indictment, and according to the Justice Department the two "regularly communicated over email and through an online messaging platform" from February 2022 until April 2022.
The start of their alleged online dalliance coincided with both Russia’s illegal invasion of its neighbor and Valentine's Day. The woman allegedly described Slater as her "secret informant love."
"During this time, Co-Conspirator 1 regularly asked David Franklin Slater to provide her with sensitive, non-public, closely held, and classified NDI, to which David Franklin Slater had access as a result of his employment with the United States Air Force," the indictment states.
And then it gets into the good stuff, with examples of co-conspirator 1's war-time pillow talk, which ultimately convinced Slater to transmit classified national defense information to his online paramour. This secret info included military targets, and Russian military capabilities relating to the war in Ukraine.
Here are some of the messages:
"Dear, what is shown on the screens in the special room?? It is very interesting."
"By the way, you were the first to tell me that NATO members are traveling by train and only now (already evening) this was announced on our news. You are my secret informant love! How were your meetings? Successfully?"
"Beloved Dave, do NATO and Biden have a secret plan to help us?"
"Dave, it's great that you get information about [Specified Country 1] first. I hope you will tell me right away? You are my secret agent. With love."
"Sweet Dave, the supply of weapons is completely classified, which is great!"
"Access to classified information comes with great responsibility," said US Attorney Lesley A. Woods for the District of Nebraska. "David Slater failed in his duty to protect this information by willingly sharing National Defense Information with an unknown online personality despite having years of military experience that should have caused him to be suspicious of that person's motives."
The charge of conspiracy to transmit national defense information carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.
The court has scheduled Slater's sentencing hearing for October 8. ®
