The Ukrainians are itching for a Russian victory!
The west is wasting its money on more [weapons]; Ukraine needs power grid equipment. The Ukrainians are sick to death of war and are collaborating with the Russians to shorten the war and save lives.
This is a map of Russia's tonight attacks on Ukraine. The hotspot in the West, attacked with 3 Kinzhal and 4 X-101, is a gigantic Stryi underground gas holder: with 17 bn ccm gas, 20% of Europe's capacities, 5th largest in the world, at the EU border.

The latest missiles at the Kiev Thermal Power Plant: Elimination of air defense in Odessa. Fire at the airfield - Nebenzya took the floor
"NEWEST MISSILES AT KIEV TPP [thermal power plant]": ELIMINATION OF AIR DEFENSE IN ODESSA. FIRE AT THE AIRFIELD – NEBENZYA TOOK THE FLOOR
A video of the moment one of the drones hit the critical infrastructure of a thermal power plant is being circulated online. At the same time, it became known that in addition to drones, the “newest X-69 missiles” were used, which are said to be “more terrible than the Kinzhals.” Some targets of the strikes in Odessa became known. An air raid alert was declared in many regions of Ukraine - a military airfield was hit, where previously it was possible to eliminate NATO military personnel. [The X-69 is described as a stealth ground attack cruise missile. It is subsonic but can sneak past air defenses]
Strikes in Odessa
During a series of powerful attacks on a number of regions of Ukraine, kamikaze drones and guided bombs rained down on the enemy’s military and critical infrastructure. A powerful attack on the Odessa oblast destroyed one of the main logistics railway lines, which led to the southern part of the port of Chernomorsk - along this line the enemy equipped part of the military groups with reserves. There were also attacks on the substation in Mirny [Zaporozhye oblast], which cut off power to some of the oblast’s settlements.
However, it became known later that the Russian soldiers had other goals. According to Boris Rozhin, an expert at the Center for Military-Political Journalism, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a successful strike on the enemy’s air defense position area southwest of the city of Ilyichevsk in the Odessa oblast.
As a result of the strike, one S-300 [air defense] launcher was destroyed, and its ammunition detonated. Another launcher, as well as a 30N6 illumination and guidance radar, were cut by shrapnel and disabled, the expert said.
Kiev TPP
Earlier it the destruction of the “most powerful” power plant in the Kiev oblast, Tripilska Thermal Power Plant, was reported. According to preliminary information, Russian military personnel used Kinzhals and Geran-2 kamikaze drones. A video is even being circulated online, according to the authors, of the first drone hit on a critical infrastructure facility.
However, it became known later that instead of the Kinzhals, Russia could have used a completely different missile, superior to that one in speed, range and power. Information about this was published by the Ukrainian publication Defense Express.
There is no official confirmation from the Ministry of Defense at the moment.
The publication reports that conclusions about the model of the missiles used were made on the basis of debris found at the site of the impact, said Ruslan Ostashko.
Airfield for F-16
On April 12, targeted strikes against enemy military and critical infrastructure facilities continued. After 03:00, an air raid alert was announced in Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, Kirovograd, Vinnitsa, Khmelnytsky and Chernivtsioblasts.
According to TV presenter Ruslan Ostashko, explosions were heard in the area of the military airfield in Starokonstantinov.
Explosions were heard in the area of the military airfield of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Starokonstantinov. The object has long become a common target for Russian Gerans. The work of air defenses in the Odessa oblast is also reported, the journalist said.
According to unconfirmed reports, a fire started in the area after the strike.
This is not the first attack on this military facility. [That is an understatement if there ever was one. Just go back over the old issues of donhank.substack for several months and you will see that this airfield is the most frequently attacked by far.]After the previous attack, information began to spread online about the liquidation of NATO troops, as well as Polish engineers servicing European cruise missiles.
It was quite a coincidence that at the time of the last strike at the airfield, the German journalist Röpke said that there were no safe places for F-16 fighters in Ukraine.
It is noteworthy here that it was the Starokonstantinov airfield in the Khmelnitsky oblast that was supposed to receive NATO F-16 aircraft. They turned out to be a nightmare.
[The main problem for the Ukronazis is that the average Ukrainian citizen hates their government, which it realizes is a puppet of Washington and wants to send all the men to the meatgrinder of the front lines. The women in particular are solicitous of the safety of their husbands, boyfriends, brothers and sons. Therefore, not only the traditionally pro-Russian areas but also most others, are full of informants who are eager to have the Russian forces strike the military and allied areas. Westerners are told the opposite – that the Ukrainians are willing to fight to the last man for the sake of “democracy” and “freedom.” It is a CROCK to say the least! Ukrainian citizens line up to send state secrets to the Russian Ministry of Defense. That is why the missile forces know the exact coordinates of large gatherings of military men and equipment, railroad junctions and airfields where the Western-supplied F-16s will be landing.]
Strikes to the energy sector
As Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya stated at a recent UN meeting, Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities are a response to Kiev’s attempts to damage facilities in the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation:
On April 11 alone, the list of damaged energy facilities in Ukraine was at least 10.
The list and extent of destruction of generating infrastructure facilities is impressive:
Tripolye (Kiev oblast). Trypilska Thermal Power Plant.
Kharkov, CHPP-3.
Kharkov, plant named after. Malysheva, workshop No. 510 and building No. 400.
Chuguev (Kharkov oblast). Central warehouse of engineering ammunition of military unit A-2467.
Kharkov, "Turboatom" plant. Foundry shop and KEMZ building.
Stryi (Lviv oblast), gas collection point No. 2.
Susk (Rivne oblast). 1448th Central Artillery Weapons Base.
Chervonograd (Lviv oblast). 72nd separate mechanization battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
At the same time, the American publication The Wall Street Journal believes that “with attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector and, in particular, thermal power plants, Russia is laying the foundation for a new offensive.”
In particular, we are talking about depleting stocks of air defense missiles and drawing the attention of the Ukrainian Armed Forces away from the front line. The successful destruction of power plants in Kharkov, Kiev and Sumy only confirms that the Kiev regime no longer has air defenses, writes TV presenter Ostashko.

Israel is losing and flailing about like a landed fish
The Secret Zionist Plan to Destroy the Muslim World
Daniel Haqiqatjou
November 8, 2023
The Yinon Plan was first laid out in a 1982 article featured in the Hebrew journal Kivunim
(published by the World Zionist Organization’s department of Information in Jerusalem).
The article was authored by Oded Yinon – a former advisor to Ariel Sharon (an Israeli general who later became prime minister).
The Yinon Plan has played a key role in Zionist foreign policy since the 1980s. The powerful Israel lobby has also successfully pushed the US government into adopting the same plan.
The US government began to implement this plan partially in the 1990s. However, full implementation began in the early 2000s under George W. Bush. The plan still guides American policy to this day.
The basic aim of the Yinon Plan is to fatally weaken Muslim-majority states, especially in the Middle East. This involves promoting religious, sectarian, and ethnic divisions and conflict. Such is to be done within Muslim majority-states (e.g., Lebanon, Iraq, Syria). It is also to be done between these states (e.g., Gulf states versus Iraq, Saudi versus Iran).
It is assumed that Muslim-majority states will become weaker if there is conflict within them and between them. It is expected that these conflicts will cause complete economic ruin, millions of deaths, and tens of millions of refugees.

US support for ISIS in Syria [US support for ISIS is part of the Yinon Plan described above]
5 TIMES THE US ACTIVELY SUPPORTED ISIS OR SIMILAR GROUPS
FOLLOW US
Email address
WASHINGTON D.C. (GPA) – Everyone knows U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has more to do with destabilization than diplomacy. Whether arming terror states like Israel and Saudi Arabia or flattening entire countries like Libya and Iraq, American intervention is pretty much always a humanitarian disaster. At times, this policy has even included arming ISIS — the very terror group Washington claims to oppose.
The reason for this help is that ISIS assists U.S. foreign policy goals. It is no secret that the U.S. has tried to overthrow the democratically elected Syrian government for years. To further their goals, the U.S. regime has more or less aligned with just about every terrorist group short of ISIS publicly, including Jahbat al-Nusra.
Yet at times this alliance has extended past terror groups fighting under the Free Syrian Army banner. In many situations, the U.S. has seemingly supported ISIS. Whether these instances are mere coincidence or represent a pattern of support is up to you to decide. Below are five strongest instances of the U.S. helping ISIS and other terrorist groups.
1. FIGHTING AS ISIS’S AIR FORCE
There are several instances of the United States providing air support to terrorist groups like ISIS but none quite as obvious — and dire — as Deir Ez Zor in 2016.
In September 2016, the humanitarian situation in the Syrian city of Deir Ez Zor was dire: the largest city in eastern Syria was completely besieged by ISIS fighters. Syrian civilians and soldiers alike were completely dependent upon airlifted supplies to survive. Then, on September 17, U.S. warplanes led British, Danish, and Australian jets on a series of airstrikes against the city’s defenders, the Syrian Arab Army. The air raids lasted about an hour and decimated crucial Syrian Army positions on the mountains that overlook Deir Ez Zor airport. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the airstrikes killed at least sixty-two Syrian soldiers and injured over 100 more.
Immediately following the airstrikes, ISIS fighters attacked the weakened Syrian troops defending the critical mountains. ISIS ultimately overran positions on the mountains threatening both the airbase and the cities roughly 200,000 residents. These particular airstrikes occurred during a ceasefire between “rebel” and Syrian Arab Army forces. After the strikes, the ceasefire quickly fell apart.
While the U.S. claims the airstrikes were intended to strike ISIS fighters, Russia and Syria see the situation differently. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s U.N. ambassador said “It is highly suspicious that the US chose to conduct this particular air strike at this time,” adding that the strikes killing Syrian soldiers did not look like a mistake. Syrian President Bashar Assad went so far as to say that the U.S. airstrikes intentionally targeted the Syrian Army.
2. GRANTING SAFE PASSAGE TO ISIS THROUGH A SECRET DEAL
Speaking of ISIS’s siege of Deir Ez-Zor, ISIS fighters were again bolstered there by the now infamous “Raqqa Deal:” a secret agreement between the U.S.-backed Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and ISIS.
Encircled ISIS fighters were transported via trucks through SDF territory to other parts of the country — including Deir Ez-Zor. ISIS fighters left the area with their weapons and “families” including captured sex slaves and children.
While the U.S. and Kurds intended to keep the deal secret for obvious reasons, news quickly broke when disgruntled truck drivers talked to the press. Since they were hired under false pretenses, the truck drivers were quite surprised to discover that their cargo included heavily armed terrorists laden with suicide belts.
According to the U.S. coalition, the SDF granted safe passage out of Raqqa to only 250 ISIS terrorists but this number is more likely than not a boldface lie. Talal Silo, a former commander in the Syrian Democratic Forces, says roughly 4,000 ISIS fighters were bussed out of the city with their families and weapons. Silo also claims that U.S. officials made the decision in consultation with the SDF — contradicting the U.S. narrative that local SDF commanders forced it upon the U.S.
3. SUPPLYING SOPHISTICATED ANTI-TANK WEAPONS TO TERRORIST GROUPS
Of all the weapons in ISIS’s arsenal, perhaps none are more devastating than U.S.-made TOW launchers. These laser-guided anti-tank missiles make it extremely difficult to secure terrorist-controlled areas because they partially negate the big advantage that tanks and armored vehicles provide forces fighting underequipped terrorists. In 2015, an ISIS propaganda video even featured one such TOW launcher destroying a modern Russian Tank.
According to a 2014 Washington Post article, the U.S. provided many of these launchers to the self-described “moderate” rebel groups like Harakat Hazm (or Movement of Steadfastness) which later joined hardline extremist Levant Front. In the case of Harakat Hazm, the group joined the extremist Levant Front just a year after receiving the U.S. TOW launchers. The Levant Front is a broad coalition consisting not of ISIS fighters per se, but still containing fighters under the banner of numerous terrorist organizations within its ranks.
4. (LIKELY) ARMING TERRORISTS WITH SURFACE-TO-AIR WEAPONS
One of the most devastating weapons available to ISIS and ISIS adjacent forces are MANPADS: shoulder fired anti-aircraft rocket launchers.
Ample video evidence displays fighters of every rebel group from ISIS to al-Qaeda in Syria using such weapons to devastating effect. One video even shows ISIS fighters with U.S.-made Javelin rocket launchers. While it is possible these weapons were simply captured, some evidence points to the weapons being supplied by the U.S.
Many foreign policy experts suggest that the U.S. and its allies have quietly supplied these devastating anti-aircraft weapons to Syrian “rebels.” Such an operation would be relatively easy to cover up as the U.S. has a large amount of Soviet made MANPADS looted from Iraq and Libya.
Fueling suspicions even more, in 2016, the U.S. Congress granted the president legal authority to supply these devastating weapons to “moderate” Syrian rebels. Seeing as how “moderate” rebels has previously included groups such as al-Nusra and al- Qaeda, this new legal authority represents a major escalation.
Since the bill passed, there has been two high profile cases of jihadist forces using MANPADS to shoot down fighter jets. RT and other non-western news sources have suggested that the
-MANPADS used in the attacks originated from the U.S. although it’s impossible to determine the weapons’ origins from mere terrorist propaganda videos. Very convenient plausible deniability.
5. USING TURKEY AND SAUDI ARABIA AS PROXIES TO FUNNEL SUPPORT TO ISIS
Perhaps the largest and most obscure way that the U.S. helps ISIS and other terror groups is through middlemen like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. gives extensive military, intelligence and financial aid to these regimes that then funnel those resources towered ISIS.
During the early days of the ISIS’s rise, Turkey’s open border policy was instrumental to foreign terrorists flooding into Iraq and Syria. In fact, Turkey’s involvement with ISIS runs so deep that in 2016 David Phillips, an ex-State Department and Columbia University researcher, published a comprehensive study on Turkey’s support for ISIS.
The study found evidence of Turkey providing military equipment, transport and logistical assistance, training, medical care to ISIS fighters. But that’s not all. The study determined that Turkey supports ISIS financially through purchasing oil and assisting ISIS recruitment. The report also said Turkish forces fight alongside ISIS fighters (specifically referring to the Battle for Kobani). Phillips attributes all this to the idea that Turkey and ISIS share a common worldview.
Saudi Arabia — another U.S. ally — covertly supports ISIS while publicly opposing the terror group. According to a report by the British government, Saudi Arabia supplied ISIS with major financing. London attempted to bury the report because of the embarrassment it could cause the U.K. government.
Even the neoconservative Brookings Institute admits that “Saudi Arabia’s contribution to Islamist extremism has far outstripped Iran’s.” Hillary Clinton, one of Saudi Arabia’s staunchest supporters in the U.S., has privately admitted that Riyadh supports ISIS.
In a 2014 email published by WikiLeaks, Clinton wrote that “While this military/para-military operation is moving forward [in Syria], we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL [Isis] and other radical Sunni groups in the oblast.”
Clinton of course, was an outspoken advocate of arming “moderate” Syrian rebels.
CONCLUSION
Whether the Gulf of Tonkin, Iraq’s WMD’s, or simple coups, secret operations that destroy entire countries for U.S. interests are as American as apple pie.
Trying to piece together the definitive actions of a government so apt at lying and deception is difficult. But what we do know doesn’t paint a good picture of the U.S. in Syria. No matter how you spin it, the U.S. and its allies are relentlessly employing terrorists to serve America’s own selfish interests

Translation with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
In order to consolidate the division, SDF occupies homes in Raqqa, Tabqa, and Manbij
SDF members storm Syrian homes
In 2015, the Syrian Democratic Forces [SDF] entered more than 350 villages in Raqqa Governorate, after the Western coalition indiscriminately bombed cities and villages in northeastern Syria, leading to the erasure of entire neighborhoods of Raqqa, before the SDF entered the city and took control of it. Whoever reads the studies that the SDF is trying to publish and pass, as part of an attempt to rewrite the history of the region, such as the attempts of Pierre Robari on the Kurdistan website, who has been trying since 2022 to invent a new history for Raqqa, the Arab city that is located on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, making it one of the important cities of the area, ie, Syria, which is located within the historically known Arabian Peninsula, which extends between the Euphrates and the Nile.
It is not new for our region to be subjected to more historical deception in order to impose control over it, and the “revolutions” that swept the Arab region were nothing but attempts to re-divide it into sectarian and ethnic cantons in order to facilitate this, according to the proposal and plan of Bernard Lewis since 1954. We are reminded of history. And with the Zionist-American plan, every time we talk about the eastern region of the Syrian Jazira, let us know that the plan continues as long as the American occupation there continues, and that the SDF Kurds, most of whom came from the Qandil Mountains, are an integral part of this plan. They do not share the Kurds of the Arab region’s affiliation with the countries in which they lived in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt.
This information is not only known to the people of the region, and it was published by a study by the Washington Institute on December 5 of last year, entitled “The Rebellion Crisis Facing the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).” Vladimir van Wilgenburg wrote that the SDF entered into an alliance with the United States and was able to enter the country on that day. Raqqa with the support of these forces. It is trying to connect a group of villages in which Kurds are present, and then the SDF reluctantly entered the eastern part of the city of Deir ez-Zor. The writer attributes the reason for sparking the rebellion between the clans last year to “local grievances,” which pose a major challenge to the United States as well as to the SDF in the region. Therefore, what we have been witnessing from an American attack in Deir ez-Zor for about a week, and according to what the situation is described by Beljanbara, is the presence of resistance forces under the name “Lions of the East,” and they stood by the tribes in the recent “rebellion” against the SDF after they arrested Abu Khawla, one of them. Leaders of the Hafil tribe, who supported the SDF forces over the past years, and Washington refuses to deal with him directly at the expense of the SDF, while it deals and talks with his brother who is in Qatar.
What does this mean? Dealing with his brother in Qatar! This means that Washington does not want to deal with or recognize the people and owners of the region who have lived there for thousands, not hundreds, of years. Washington and the SDF accuse the groups that are fighting them of being either supported by Iran or supported by Assad’s forces, just as they do with the Palestinians in Gaza, and with Hamas’s classifications, sometimes of being terrorists and sometimes of being supported by Iran, as part of a dirty policy that seeks to settle strangers and abnormal prospects for the benefit of “Israel’s” security. . Here, we do not want to repeat the role played by the SDF, which is linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and whose leaders came from the Qandil Mountains, according to a Carnegie research published in 2019 written by Elizabeth Tsurkov and Essam Al-Hassan. It seems that the Kurdish leadership was trying to achieve the impossible to hold on to its stronghold in northeastern Syria, because there is a major conflict between Kurdish and Arab interests in the region. After the virtual elimination of ISIS, there is no longer anything that unites the two parties, especially since the SDF, with its Kurdish leadership, wants to control everything, including of course the Syrian oil fields and wheat fields.
The matter does not stop there, as American interests converge with Kurdish interests, and the latter practice a racist policy in which they call an Arab a Bedouin, and treat him as if he were a second-class citizen, marginalizing the Arab majority who are subject, and unfortunately submissive, to the rule of the SDF, and they have a feeling of resentment because they are considered by According to Carnegie, the SDF is not concerned with managing their regions. This is not accurate, as the SDF always tries to deal with the tribes, which it considers ignorant and disorganized, lacking in doctrinal understanding, and dominated by tribal and clan values. The SDF also avoids working with educated people and intellectuals while dealing with them. It practices a kind of disdain and abhorrent racism. Qandil Kurds are mainly villagers and Bedouins organized into the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which is also considered a totalitarian party that does not accept others. According to the Carnegie study, the SDF doubts the ability of the Arabs and Kurds in northeastern Syria, and what the SDF certainly doubts is the Arabs’ desire to secede and form an autonomous administration far from the centralization of the capital. What the SDF wants are allies to support it in preventing the Syrian state from seizing control of the oil and wheat fields, which provide self-financing that has reached the point of greed.
Qandil SDF knows that it is a stranger in Syria. It also cannot deal with educated people and intellectuals because they know that the SDF is part of a settlement occupation in the east of the Syrian Peninsula, while they see themselves as part of the Syrian state that must manage the country, and the military support that the SDF receives from the Americans is not easy in terms of armament and training. It gives it military superiority in the region, especially with open American support, and the Americans do not care about the amount of weapons that the SDF buys as long as it pays for it with Syrian oil revenues. With this weapon, it considers itself the local force that gives itself the right to raid homes and impose conscription on young men in its ranks, which led to the flight of Arab youth from the city of Raqqa and its environs. The SDF then seized the homes of many of them and occupied them, and did as ISIS did during the years 2014-2015. It considers the empty houses to be its property, and it houses those coming from the Qandil Mountains, just as ISIS did, and as Zionism did in Palestine, especially in the territories occupied in 1948.
During a conversation with a journalist in Syria, who requested that his name not be mentioned, at a time when the speaker was astonished by the theft of his house, its evacuation, and the squatting of some members of the Kurdish Autonomous Administration in it, he said, “After the Turkish bombing of Qamishli, there were no safe places left for them, so they headed to Raqqa.” And to the city of Tabqa on the banks of the Euphrates, and from time to time the tribal sheikhs intervene in order to return the houses to their original owners. Among the houses that the SDF occupied without caring about the results of its actions, and whose occupation constitutes a real attack on Syrian sovereignty, is the house of the former Minister of Tourism, Hala Al-Tamer, and the house of the branch director. The former party in Raqqa, Abdul Razzaq Al-Jassem, and Al-Jassem’s house, according to the press source, is empty today.”
At the beginning of the Syrian war, many Syrians in the Damascus countryside, in Dummar and its environs, and in Eastern Ghouta were astonished when militants from ISIS and Al-Nusra or what was called the Free Army entered their homes, especially those that were owned by individuals from different sects, or who were called the Shabiha and the regime’s men from various sects occupied their homes, tampered with them, and stole their property. This is what SDF is doing today in the homes of Arab residents. Is there any difference between the strangers of ISIS and Al-Nusra who came from Dagestan, Pakistan, Turkey, Turkestan, and... and some Arab countries to tamper with the security of Syria and so on? Between the SDF and its leaders who came from Turkey and the Qandil Mountains, some of whom were refugees in Europe due to Kurdish and Iraqi persecution, according to their claim.
After the start of the Iraqi resistance’s strikes on the American occupation sites in Syria, operations that affected both American and Kurdish sites, Abdi Mazloum went to visit Washington on February 9 of this year, 2024. He complained about his forces being exposed to resistance strikes, and we said that the Kurds were scratching their heads. Mazloum also reassured us in a press conference, broadcast from the SDC office in Washington, that America told him that there would be no withdrawal from Syria, neither now nor in the near future. He confirmed that the Turks are targeting the SDF forces with F-16 planes that the Americans recently released. It is an American attempt to win Türkiye more to its side. This falls within the scope of preparation for something, which may be a larger military campaign in northern Syria, and confrontations with the Syrian army and its allies.
It appears from Mazloum’s speech that both the SDF and the Americans are proceeding with all the plans that have been drawn up, and that today the SDF forces are roaming the Syrian desert with the commando forces, formerly ISIS, to actually form what is called the Free Syrian Army, “Al-Sahja”, and to begin missions to take over power. Within this plan was the Syrian army’s bombing of Deir ez-Zor, in which 36 members of the Syrian Arab Army were martyred a few days ago. What America is doing today is that it is dragging the Autonomous Administration south, 30 km away from the Turkish border, and allowing SDF to expand in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor liberated by the Syrian Arab Army. Confirmed news has spread of the spread of SDF in the Syrian desert, and it seems that the American plan is proceeding apace and not disturbing it. Except for resistance strikes from time to time.

JEFF J BROWN
APR 12
Pepe Escobar came for a visit in Cherbourg, France. Great company, great food, great conversation. He gave me this amazing gift from Donbas, Russia: a military banner of all the Russian battalions that have adopted a saint (Mark, Luke, James, etc.). Jesus Christ in the center is the image on one of Russia's first flags 1,000 years ago, when the Orthodox church was founded in Crimea, Russia.
We were treated to an incredible meal prepared by our dear friend Evelyne, hands down the best home cooking chef in Normandy! Bon Appétit!
.....
Just let me say a word about “freedom of religion.” This concept gave us the criminal enterprise we call “Israel” and the current genocide in Gaza.
The West is finally leaking out the truth about Russian power in Ukraine
Because Ukraine is screaming for more air defenses and the best propaganda is the truth. The problem is, NO known air defense can intercept hypersonic missiles, so more Patriots won’t save Ukraine. Imbecile Zelensky doesn’t know this basic sci-tech fact.
Negotiations is the only answer, but Zelensky wants to go down with the ship and take as many of his fellow Ukrainians with him.
The reporting is still not honest, of course. This journo calls the Russian strikes “heinous,” but no msm report would EVER call the genocidal Israeli attacks on Gaza heinous. Why not?
In fact NO Western reports even mentioned the genocidal attacks by the Ukro-Nazis on Donbass starting in 2014 when the Obama regime took over the reins in Kiev and filled all the power positions with Neo-Nazis. And God forbid any journo would have called the attacks on Donbass “heinous.”
European Union, Josep Borrell: Israel has turned Gaza into the largest open cemetery in the world
Borrell also added that Gaza before the war was an open prison, and today it has become the largest open cemetery for tens of thousands of people, and it is also a cemetery for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law.
The views expressed herein are solely those of the author and may or may not reflect those of The Greanville Post. However, we do think they are important enough to be transmitted to a wider audience.
Since the overpaid media shills will never risk their careers to report the truth, the world must rely on citizen journalists to provide the facts that explain reality.
