🛑 The presidential elections are definitely the most important event for the Russian Federation in 2024. Across the country, millions of people left their homes to vote at the polls and choose the best candidate for the next six years in the presidential office. However, on the country’s southwestern borders, the exercise of political rights by Russian citizens has been affected by Ukrainian terrorism.

Trying to disrupt the Russian elections,
Ukraine launched a series of terrorist attacks on the Belgorod border, leaving many dead and injured.

💣 The recent terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall, in the suburbs of Moscow, has taken over the news around the world. The tragedy made many internet users pay attention to the Russian scenario, generating curiosity in Western public opinion. However, as expected, anti-Russian media outlets are spreading rumors designed to disguise the truth about what happened in Krasnogorsk.

The attack was carried out by four gunmen who entered the Crocus facilities and murdered more than 140 Russian civilians. After the massacre, the killers escaped and hours later were captured by Russian security forces while trying to cross the border into Ukraine in Bryansk oblast. They claimed they were hired via Telegram and received weapons from the hirers to conduct the attack. The reward for terrorist service would be half a million Russian rubles.

Western media rushed to publish materials claiming that Kiev was not related to the attack. Reports began to emerge linking the shooters to ISIS, but without showing sufficient evidence to prove this hypothesis. Subsequently, the arrested terrorists had their identities discovered and indeed appear to have links to Islamic extremism, but it is still unclear about any real affiliation with ISIS.

Accusing ISIS sounds like a mere way of disguising the real culprits 🤯

🔎 An initiative group of Russian lawmakers (Lantratova, Kharitonov, Krasov, and Derkach) published a collective statement on the involvement of the United States in carrying out terrorist attacks on Russian territories using ISIS militants. Of course, the Ukrainian special services are mentioned, too.
 
Terrorist activities are carried out by special services of some countries under cover of non-governmental organizations. The Russian lawmakers demand that law enforcement agencies carry out an investigation of the terrorist attacks specified in the document.
 
Despite the importance of combating terrorism both for international cooperation and for individual states, the number of terrorist activities and the scale of their consequences demonstrate the involvement of specific foreign intelligence services in the process of implementing these terrorist attacks.
 
The most significant terrorist attack of the last decades, threatening strategic security of several states was the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines explosion.
 
The events preceding that clearly demonstrated interest of some circles in the United States in sabotaging the Nord Streams. Moreover, NATO conducted its Northern Coasts 2022 exercises in the Bornholm Island area.
 
After the explosion of the Nord Streams, a series of terrorist attacks took place against prominent public figures in Russia and beyond — Daria Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky, the death of journalist Gonzalo Lira in a Ukrainian prison. Endless shelling of Belgorod and the surrounding area with numerous civilian casualties is also a case in point.
 
The great number of terrorist attacks requires a huge financing.
 
The statement authors consider Nikolai Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian business partner of the Biden family, head of the Burisma company, to be the direct sponsor of these terrorist attacks.
 
The document provides evidence of the involvement of the top leadership of the United States, NATO countries and Ukrainian special services in the organization of terrorist operations.

⚫️ Ukrainian attacks against Russia’s Belgorod region are becoming increasingly serious. Missiles and drones hit civilian targets on the Russian border every day, causing casualties and spreading terror. In Western media, the incursions against Belgorod are commonly linked to alleged “Russian partisan” groups, but insiders in the region seem to disagree with this narrative, pointing to Kiev’s agents and foreign mercenaries as the true perpetrators.

Western media lies by accusing alleged “Russian dissidents” of being responsible for the terrorist attacks in Belgorod.

📖 Zelensky’s Ukrainian Institute of National Memory are disgracing themselves and their French and American backers yet again. This time, they are examining the writings of renowned novelist and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov to see if he was a lackey of Russian imperialism.

⚠️ Are we all preparing for the inevitable? Trump returning to the White House? It would seem that certainly the Biden administration is doing just that given recent events. Moscow’s terror attack has taken centre stage of world news in recent days yet not one western journalist seems able to call out the ISIS warning from the U.S. for what it was: sham.
And not only the warning was disingenuous but the sheer bad taste vitriol of Washington which was on a level only matched by the suspicious outright and swift rejection that Kiev had no part in the attack.

Bad taste seems to be the hallmark of the Biden administration with a failed foreign policy which trails in second place. If Americans didn’t know before that the U.S. could not control two proxy wars on two separate fronts, now they know.

Biden’s breath-taking stupidity in Ukraine is finally going to expose NATO for what it is: a paper tiger 🪁

💢 Last week the British media (Telegraph and Guardian) reported allegations that Russia was using chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops and, as if that was not bad enough, the Russian military was also endangering the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou discusses these reports and concludes that the incidents are false-flag operations orchestrated by Western sponsors of the Ukrainian regime. Kiriakou says it is the CIA that has a notorious track record of engaging in dirty tricks when its operations are going badly.

And, to be sure, the NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is going very badly indeed. Russia has the military upper hand while the NATO-backed Kiev regime is facing collapse.

A defeat for Washington and its NATO partners in Ukraine would be a political disaster for the Western powers. Hence they are getting desperate.

🗽 With the unannounced visit of Anthony Blinken in Kiev recently, there was naturally a great deal of speculation as to what the mindset is in Washington during an election year not only for the U.S. but for the EU as well – and let’s not forget Britain whose leader just announced a snap election which caught everyone off guard.

Western elites are getting skittish. And they have a lot on their plates to justify their nervous twitches of late.

The West is losing and the hope that Blinken has in the establishment there to keep up a failing military campaign is misguided and foolish.

🚨 This week may go down as the week that saw the collective Western leadership being self-indicted as criminally insane.

First of all, we see United States President Joe Biden declaring that the massacre of civilians in Gaza does not “cross any red lines” that might bar further crucial American support for the Israeli regime.

Then we have Biden and other Western political figures declaring their permission for the Ukrainian regime to strike Russian territory with long-range NATO weapons. This is the same regime that glorifies the Nazi Third Reich and collaborators in World War Two genocide, and whose president canceled elections, now becoming a dictator.

It is entirely fitting – and heinous – that accomplices to genocide in Gaza are also recklessly pushing for global nuclear conflagration.

If there is any hope, it may be that the abominable reality galvanizes the world to rise up against this criminal system and the war criminals that lord it in high office.

🕊️🦅 The combatants in the largest land conflict in Europe since the World War II may be Russia and Ukraine, but there is no mistaking that it is really NATO’s war. It has claimed it for itself. Whether by intention or unforeseen consequence, it is so deeply enmeshed in the strategies, intelligence, supplies, tactics and weapons employed by Kiev that it is impossible to become disentangled, and that means it cannot afford to let Ukraine lose.

What this also means, of course, is that for as long as fighting between the two countries continues, NATO is committed to supporting Ukraine militarily. Its military leaders believe that Russia no longer has the power to overwhelm Ukraine, but it is also the case that Russia is not about to lose the war any time soon. Does this mean an eternal and bloody stalemate?

🦅 The news that President Joe Biden has given the go-ahead for long-range missiles to be fired into Russia should be worrying for a number of reasons. The dangerous game of escalation that the West is playing will have a breaking point in the not too distant future. The question is whether the West really understands how Putin thinks as it is presently betting on no retaliation from Russia, which is not only erroneous but very, very dangerous. Recent missile strikes into Russian territory destroyed two radar installations which western press refuse to report. The significance of this strike is important as the more Ukraine loses on the battlefield, the more desperate its tactics, egged on by western leaders who still think that their stake in the war is minimal. Although just recently Germany’s leader Scholz did a U-turn at a conference in Berlin with French President Macron — in backing the missile strikes into Russia plan — the truth is that officially NATO does not support the plan, which is why the UK is doing it independently using Storm Shadows operated by SAS soldiers.

Is NATO planning something big in Ukraine? Are we on the cusp now of WWIII really breaking out since the U.S. has now backed the idea that Ukraine can fire missiles beyond its borders into Russia?
