THE EMPIRE SO FOND OF "DEMOCRACY"
ABSOLUTELY HATES A REAL DEMOCRATIC VOTE
Yesterday, on the first day of the Baby Bear referendums - real, direct democracy in action - the territory of the LPR was hit at least 4 times.
Targets: the administration of the Izotov mine village near Horlivka; the town of Stakhanov (not on the front line); a hotel and residential buildings in Rubizhne; and a market in Novaya Kakhovka.
They were all hit by HIMARS.
Translation: they were hit by the Pentagon.
EVERYTHING any agency of the USG says about the US "not wanting a war with Russia" is BULLSHIT.

🇷🇺 Referendum in Mariupol
I'm particularly touched watching these scenes of direct democracy in Mariupol.
Many of you may know that I was canceled from Twitter because of my posts on the extermination of neo-Nazis at Azovstal.
The citizens of Mariupol WILL prevail.

Very important to watch again - this itvw with Ishchenko reposted at The Saker back in March. I had the pleasure to meet him in Moscow in late 2018 - he's the essence of Old School Finest.
Answering to why Russia did not launch the SMO earlier - even in 2014 - he goes straight to the point:
"Financially, technologically and militarily, Russia was underprepared to undertake a campaign of this scale. Diplomatically, the alliance with China is key."

EUROSTUPIDISTAN STAKES GETTIN' HIGHER AND HIGHER
Oh dear. Just when we thought that Le Petit Roi was winning against the Krauts in the stiff competition to be crowned Supreme EUROStupid Eurocrat, another contender comes running from left field.
Pustula von der Lugen, of course, is out of competition because she is in a class by herself.
So here's Charles Michel, the unelected sub-specimen heading the European Council:
He wants the US to exclude Russia from the UN Security Council on the grounds of starting an "unprovoked and unjustified war."
Hang on a minute: so now unelected Trojan Horse bureaucrats from a Kafkaesque maze basically invented by the Americans ask the Americans to expel a third nation - which happens to be a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
And then one wonders why anyone with a functioning brain would love to see these specimens havin' a face to face interview with Madame Guillotine.

LAVROV AT THE UN
"What is at stake today is the future of the world order."
Key takeaways:
The West undermines trust in international justice.
The unipolar world serves the "golden billion" at expense of Asia, Africa and Latin America - this is now a thing of the past.
Washington creates geopolitical processes to retain its dominance - thinks it's "Lord God on Earth".
We all remember Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Libya - far from US shores where hundreds of thousands died.
Name one country US entered by force and life became better.
Illegal sanctions are political blackmail - and deny civilians essential goods.
UN Security Council should be more democratic and include African nations.

Europe has been played. Under the guise of Russophobic incantations, TNCs are transferring their production to the USA.
Arcelor Mittal, RHI Magnesita, Tesla, Volkswagen and OCI NV are already actively investing in the US economy, fleeing the EU, reducing their capacities.
The longer the situation in Ukraine remains in limbo, the more profitable the United States. Hence Washington's inescapable love for the Kyiv separatists.
In the USA it's a different game. The host of the program "America First" Sebastian Lukacs Gorka accused New York State Senator Chuck Schumer, who advocates another $12 billion for Kyiv, of lobbying the interests of the military-industrial complex, the Democratic Party and his personal pocket.
Gorka said: “This is all a scam. Uniform scam, and the money will end up in the pockets of Schumer's friends and others. That's all. That's all you need to know about helping Ukraine."
The main beneficiaries from the prolongation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia are people who do not care about Europe and Europeans. The fate of the Old World does not concern them. Europe and Ukraine have already been scrapped.

Optics of the Russian (Iranian) Mohajer 6 attack/recon drone using its Iranian made optoelectronics — x60 zoom in action. Very, very clear picture. Quite impressive actually. Iranians themselves have called this system an expandable asset, meaning they’re very cheap to make. Russia likely has a very high number of these attack drones.
Due to the fact that the optoelectronics are entirely Iranian made, it’s basically impossible for the west to sanction the production. After all, every Iranian drone in use today was developed by Iran while the country was under heavy economic sanctions.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Ukrainian missile hit the hotel where RT military envoy Murad @msgazdiev Gazdiyev's film crew was staying:
"As you can see, there is not much left of the room. I was sleeping in this place."
All our targets. The cameraman Mikhail was crushed by the concrete slabs, but miraculously he survived and was almost unharmed.
After the blast the guys helped to get people out from under the rubble: "This is the room next to mine, now we can see the guy downstairs.
In addition, the explosion damaged vehicles standing near the hotel, including the SUV of our war correspondents. Though battered, the vehicle is still running.

They were hit by HIMARS. The Empire of Chaos/Lies/Plunder NEVER had any problems aiming at/trying to kill journalists.
BLACK HOLE AHEAD
The whole imperial policy involves a double down attack on Russia AND Germany.
Diversion of all Russian natural resources - oil, gas and beyond - to China and other Asian actors is already leading to the destruction of Germany and the EU. Even if there was replacements for their sources of energy - and there are none - that would be too costly for Europe to remain competitive.
The energy leverage of natural gas alone in Germany is 100-1 in relation to the industrial production-natural gas ratio.
Credit Suisse's Zoltan Posnar nailed the Big Financial Picture:
"Minsky moments are triggered by excessive financial leverage, and in the context of supply chains, leverage means excessive operating leverage: in Germany, $2 trillion of value added depends on $20 billion of gas from Russia …that’s 100-times leverage – more than Lehman’s.
And the concept of operating leverage applies in the military domain too: if Taiwan makes the chips for the missiles the U.S. sends it for self-defense but has to wait for missiles because they are needed in Ukraine instead or it can’t ship them to the U.S. owing to a sea and air blockade imposed by China, the U.S. is operationally ill-equipped to support a two -front war. In English… …that’s infinite leverage for Pax Americana, globalization, and lowflation."
A "Minsky Moment" refers to a market collapse - brought on by the reckless speculation that defines those proverbially unsustainable bullish periods.
"Minsky Moment" is named after economist Hyman Minsky: that's the point in time where the sudden decline in "market sentiment" inevitably provokes a market crash.
So the number one question for the whole Economist Gang today is whether a Minsky moment is near for Germany - based on the soaring natural gas price triggering an implosion of the 2.5 quadrillion derivatives that would bring down THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE SYSTEM.
There's no question Germany may be soon collapsing into the black hole of financial oblivion.
It gets way more ominous when we see that could drag the Empire - and the rest of the world - into the limitless German black hole.

All bets are off on what a hysterical NATOstan does next.

"A Mosca circolano voci – non confermate – che la decisione sia stata accelerata perché il GRU ha informazioni sul fatto che gli americani trasferiranno presto a Kiev missili a lungo raggio in grado di colpire le città russe. Questa è una linea rossa per il Cremlino – da qui l'esplicito riferimento di Putin al fatto che ogni arma disponibile nel potente arsenale russo sarà usata per proteggere la Madrepatria."
