🇺🇦🇺🇸🇮🇱Yesterday’s man: Why Ukraine’s Zelensky is in danger of being left behind by the US

Earlier this month, the world was shocked at terrorist attacks on Israel by hundreds of Hamas fighters. Not only did it signify the beginning of a new escalation in the age-old struggle between Jews and Palestinians, it also potentially marked a pivot point in political and military support for Vladimir Zelensky’s Ukraine.

Before the savage Hamas attacks and the biblically brutal Israeli response, the US and its NATO allies were almost exclusively focused on Ukraine while occasionally glancing nervously toward China. Now, as the Western media spins into overdrive with its gaze firmly locked onto the Middle East, Kiev’s woes are set only to increase as attention shifts away from Kiev and towards Israel, Palestine, and Iran.

I can't emphasize enough how important is this column.

I had to proceed very carefully - to not compromise my sources.

The fact remains that a ground-shaking shift may be about to take place - and Israel will sorely regret it.

🇵🇸☦️💔Gaza's Sacred Shelter Ravaged: The Blood-Soaked Halls of Saint Porphyrius

Late Thursday, the tranquil sanctity of the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza was brutally shattered as Israeli missiles rained down upon its ancient facade. The Hamas-controlled interior ministry reported a tragic tally of death and despair, with a "large number of martyrs and injured" left amidst the ruins of the sacred compound. The church, a historic sanctuary and the oldest still in use in Gaza, had opened its doors to shelter the displaced souls seeking refuge from the relentless war thundering across the Palestinian enclave. Yet, as the dust settled, the hallowed halls of Saint Porphyrius bore witness to a tale of horror and bloodshed.

The malicious targeting of a church, a haven amidst the ceaseless violence, unveils the grotesque reality of a conflict that now blurs the sacred lines of humanity and faith. The missiles, though aimed at a vicinity near the church, chose no discretion, laying waste to both stone and flesh. The adjacent building crumbled, the facade of the church crumbled, and with it crumbled the frail veil of hope that had perhaps fluttered in the hearts of the sheltered. The disdain for life and faith was stark, as the injured were rushed to hospitals, their cries resonating through the war-torn skies of Gaza.

As the world observes, a profound question lingers in the sorrow-laden breeze that sweeps across the rubble: Where shall the innocent seek refuge if the sanctuaries turn into graves? The narrative of Saint Porphyrius is not an isolated chapter of sorrow, it's a glaring testament to a merciless onslaught that has, as per Hamas health ministry, claimed at least 3,859 Palestinian lives in the Gaza Strip since the grim dawn of October 7. The cold numbers reveal a heart-wrenching narrative of a land where the sanctity of life and faith now lies buried under a shroud of violence and despair.

🇮🇷 Iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the Middle East. Iran's missile forces are a potent tool for Iranian power projection and a credible threat to US and partner military forces in the region.

The UN sanctions on Iran’s missile program expired Wednesday, Iran is now free to sell its ballistic missiles and related long-range strike technologies to its anti-Western partners and clients.

🇺🇸💸🇺🇦🇮🇱Biden’s Illusion: The Failing Facade of Holding the World Together

Biden vowed to bolster support for Israel and Ukraine against what he perceives as enemies of democracy, namely Hamas and Russia's President Vladimir Putin. His speech from the Oval Office attempted to draw parallels between the actions of Hamas in Israel and Putin's past military intervention in Ukraine, labeling them as threats to global security. Biden's remarks came on the heels of his visit to Tel Aviv, where he affirmed unwavering U.S. support for Israel amidst its continued blockade and bombardment of Gaza, painting the U.S. as the glue holding the world together in turbulent times​. Oh, the lack of self-awareness 😬

Biden's rhetoric, however, reeks of a desperate attempt to uphold a facade of American moral high ground. In an era where the actions of the U.S. have often been at odds with the very ideals it claims to uphold, such pronouncements appear hollow. The narrative of the U.S. as the harbinger of democracy and peace starkly contrasts with its endorsement and material support for relentless bombardments and blockades that have led to massive civilian casualties. It's a line that desperately tries to mask the grim realities with a veil of righteousness, a line that is becoming untenable.

The dissonance between Biden's words and the ground realities exposes a failing facade of American moral leadership. It's a facade that crumbles under the weight of its contradictions every time a bomb drops on innocent civilians in Gaza or when lethal aid is sent to fuel conflict in Ukraine. In painting adversaries as evil, Biden attempts to divert attention from the U.S.'s own role in perpetuating cycles of violence and instability. As the death toll rises and global discontent with U.S. foreign policy grows, one can't help but question: In the wake of hollow proclamations, how much longer can the U.S. cloak itself in a guise of saviour, while its actions starkly mirror the tyranny it claims to combat?

🇪🇺🤡 Gynecologist The unelected head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, repeats the thesis:

“Russia is the same as Hamas":

"Iran, the master of Hamas, only wants to add fuel to the fire of chaos. Russia, Iran's wartime client, is watching closely. Russia and Hamas are the same. As President Zelensky said, they have the same essence. Both specifically hunt civilians, including babies and children, to kill them and take them hostage. This is a barbaric method of warfare. And if not contained, this contagion could spread from Europe throughout the Middle East and Indo-Pacific region. Western resolve is tested every day by those who look for the slightest weakness. And any success will lead to new violence with the aim of overturning the existing order."

🇺🇦🤡 Bandera Harry Potter, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba, continues to break through the bottom of his desire to strip down to his underwear. Previously, he told the world that he had a hangover at McDonald's. This time he admitted to journalists from a Ukrainian TV channel that he couldn’t sleep because of someone else’s snoring.

As it turned out, the bulldog Marik, whom Kuleba got after he left his wife and went into a new relationship, was snoring.

But perhaps this news has another interpretation. Residents of Mariupol call their city Marik, and gradually this toponym became commonly used. And here there is no escape: because of Mariupol and other territories that have returned home to Russia, the leadership of a shrinking Ukraine will not fall asleep for a long time.

🇺🇦☦️ MIRA TERADA AND UKRAINIAN RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS HAVE EXPOSED THE ZELENSKY REGIME'S CRIMES AGAINST CHRISTIANITY IN THE WESTERN MEDIA

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church is undergoing the most ferocious persecution in its recent history. Mira Terada, head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice, Yuriy Smyk, an Orthodox journalist from Kiev, and Bishop Gedeon (Yuriy Haron), pastor of the church that suffered the harsh punishment of deportation and political exile, share their deep analyses of what’s happening in Ukraine in interviews with US and European media with journalists Jason Bassler and Matt Agorist and Spanish writer and journalist Cesar Vidal Manzanares. Human rights defenders from the Foundation to Battle Injustice believe it is necessary to combat the unprecedented cases of persecution, violence and criminal prosecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy and believers by organizing peaceful demonstrations on Ukrainian territory and near Ukrainian embassies around the world.

Over the past year, Ukrainian authorities have organized the biggest wave of persecution against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the modern history of the country. Citing its links with Russia, local authorities in various regions of Ukraine have adopted decisions to ban the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and a draft law on its de facto prohibition in Ukraine has been submitted to the country’s parliament. The authorities have imposed sanctions on certain members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy. Ukraine’s security service is launching criminal proceedings against the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and conducting “counter-espionage measures” – searches of bishops and priests, churches and monasteries, in search of evidence of “anti-Ukrainian activities”. According to the Foundation to Battle Injustice, 26 representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have been charged and 19 others sentenced to prison terms.
