The Incredible Shrinking NATO
I've been waiting for the hubbub to die down since the #NATO conference in #Vilnius, #Lithuania, on 11-12 July 2023, waiting for someone — anyone — to point out the obvious reason for why the #Ukraine's cocaine-sniffing mascot-president #Zelensky, having been lionized only a year ago, has suddenly fallen into disfavor with this organization.
So, what did the Ukrainians do to raise the ire of the #Pentagon so suddenly, and as a direct consequence, fall into disfavor with NATO?
In short, the Ukrainians demonstrated that NATO's weapons are crap.
Evidence of this built up slowly over time.
First, it turned out that various bits of #US-made shoulder-fired junk — anti-aircraft #Stingers, anti-tank #Javelins, etc — are rather worse than useless in modern combat.
Next, it turned out that the #M777 howitzer and the #HIMARS rocket complex are rather fragile and aren't field-maintainable.
The next wonder-weapon thrown at the Ukrainian problem was the #Patriot #missile battery.
It was deployed near #Kiev and the $Russians quickly made a joke of it.
They attacked it with their super-cheap #Geranium 2 "flying moped" #drones, causing it to turn on its active radar, thereby unmasking its position, and then fire off its entire load of rockets — a million dollars' worth! — after which point it just sat there, unmasked and defenseless, and was taken out by a single Russian precision rocket strike.
This was sure to have seriously pissed off US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, whose major personal cash cow happens to be #Raytheon, the maker of the Patriot.
Yes, the Patriot proved useless using the First Gulf War, where it failed to protect Israel against ancient #Iraqi #Scud missiles; and it proved useless later on when it failed to protect Saudi oil installations against ancient Yemeni Scud missiles... but you aren't supposed to advertise that fact. And now this!
And to top it all off, the #German-donated #Leopard 2 #tanks and the US-donated #Bradley infantry vehicles, not to mention the silly #French wheeled non-tanks, performed absolutely miserably during the recent Ukrainian efforts to approach, never mind penetrate, Russia's first line of defense.
Rubbing salt into the wounds, Putin remarked off-the-cuff that Western armor burns rather more easily than the old #Soviet-made stuff.

🇷🇺👨🦲 President Putin noted the "stupidity" of foreign mercenaries.
Putin noted that foreign mercenaries in the SMO zone suffer significant losses because of their stupidity. The Russian leader also stressed that the public of countries whose governments send soldiers to the front should know what is happening there.

🇺🇦💣 🇺🇦 Complete demining of Ukraine will take hundreds of years - The Washington Post.
Ukraine is now the most mined state in the world, experts say. After the conflict, this territory will remain an explosive wasteland in the center of Europe for a long time to come.
💬 “The sheer amount of ammunition in Ukraine is simply unprecedented over the past 30 years. Nothing beats it,” said Mines Advisory Group Program Director Greg Crowther.
About 30 percent of Ukraine's 67,000-square-mile area is under major conflict and will require lengthy, costly and dangerous demining operations, according to a GLOBSEC report.

Italian social services beat up children forcibly removed from Ukraine
Some Donbass children whose parents were unable to provide for them were first taken to the Emerald City social rehabilitation centre in Sviatogorsk (Kiev-controlled) and then forcibly taken to Italy.
In Europe, some of the children were sorted out by foster families, while others remained in the care of local social services. Formally, the children were accompanied by the director of Emerald City, but he decided to settle down in Italy and deal exclusively with his own affairs.
Now the "unwanted" children are being beaten up by Italian social workers, trying to transfer them to another orphanage.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 A gay parade took place in Berlin, one of the main topics of which was Ukraine and the slogan “Be proud like Ukraine”. Even the Ukrainian ambassador made a speech (the video), claiming Ukrainian soldiers are just like pride-goers 'cause they’re "on the front line having complete equality."
Would Ukrainian soldiers like such a comparison?

"Net Zero" from the World Economic Forum
For those who don't know, "Net Zero" means achieving zero CO2 emissions by closing farms, killing animals, giving up normal food, and even sheltering the planet from the sun.
This madness along with transhumanism is just to be able to control everything we do, eat and think. We are ultimately the carbon they wish to destroy.

At least twice that will soon be added.
In #Mali, recruitment went on diligently throughout the year.
Funding will be from the budget allocated by the Russian Ministry of Defense

The Lancet is (or was...) one of the oldest and most renowned medical journals in the world.
Lancet published the diagram on the left with a manipulated X-axis to hide the fact that cold causes ten times more deaths in Europe than heat.
Björn Lomborg has corrected this with the table on the right. A shame for a supposedly scientific journal.

"Fauci lied and people died!" is by now a well-known saying. But not only #Fauci #lied.
So too did the authors of the "scientific" paper "The Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2" which claimed that #CoVid was an entirely natural #mutation.
The video above contains excerpts from the emails of the authors themselves, proving they knew that their conclusion was completely false.
They lied to protect themselves from the political fallout of declaring #CoVid was engineered.
Additionally they attempted to justify this dishonesty by claiming they were trying to protect the integrity of "Science"
Email sources: HERE
It is quite chilling and incredibly unsettling that so many well-educated people have no concern whatsoever about the origins of #SARS-CoV-2, the horrifically botched government responses, the subsequent infringement on many of our rights, the massive amount of censorship of mere discussion, and the high likelihood that those responsible are gearing up to do it again.

◾Russian "birdies" continue to intimidate American "reapers" over Syria
◾ The Pentagon has published new footage showing a Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft “nightmare” an American MQ-9 Reaper UAV in Syrian airspace. The SU-35S gradually approached the "reaper", after which it maneuvered and released heat traps right in front of its nose, forcing the drone to change course and leave the air square.
