🤡 Zelensky reportedly demands “withdrawal of all Russian troops including from Crimea and Donbass!” in delegation talks – Zelensky office (RBC)

Of course, this will never happen.

The comedy act continues.

CIA filmmaker forced to flee to Poland as ‘Zelensky hero’ narrative collapses and Vice News stops paying his exorbitant daily rider of “fruit & flowers”.

⚡️Kiev is of political significance, but the real geo-strategic theatre is about access to, and control of water ways. Pay attention to the coastline. What matters is the coast (audio)…. 👇👇👇

➡️ Ukraine UPDATE: Pay attention to coastline and waterways….

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

It's a clever redirection of the psychologically manipulated kamikaze, away from vaccine suicide and towards manufactured consent for war.

They've just encouraged the mass formation to focus on a new eugenics scheme.

ATTENTION: NATO is panicking re their Ukraine debacle, so the order was given to shutdown all RT videos on YouTube across the EU and UK under the piteous guise of "controlling misinformation." Some of you have messaged us asking to see CrossTalk's recent Ukraine episode show on which Patrick Henningsen had appeared. Here it is. We'll do our best to uphold free speech and preserve access to these important videos on various alt video platforms, as many of you are doing already - if you are, thank you!

Let's live up to those democratic values. 😉
