I am Italian and Russia is not my enemy !

As Kiev is pummelled relentlessly, its worth reminding mind numbingly deluded Pro Ukrainians that it was Ukraine who started striking civillian shipping.

It was Ukraine who starting striking logistic warehouses.

And now, its Ukraine thats reaping its NATO proxy reward

The Russian calm at the center of a NATO storm

Baltik is the home of the Russian Baltic Fleet, whose ships, aircraft and Marines would play a central role in defending Kaliningrad from any NATO attack.

I paid a visit to the port city of Baltik, the western-most populated center of Russia that serves as the heart of the Russian military contingent in the Kaliningrad Okrug. Contrary to European and NATO claims that Russia is preparing for war, what I witnessed was a military community going about business as usual on a peaceful September afternoon. I know what a military base preparing for conflict looks like; this was not it.

“Now” is the key word here.

“Now” is the result of Zelensky’s reckless escalation.

Despite lacking the means to protect Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure from Russian missiles and drones, he chose to target civilian infrastructure in Russia, Donbas, and Crimea.

The result was predictable: Putin took the gloves off and began systematically and massively striking virtually every category of civilian infrastructure across Ukraine — something we had not seen on this scale in the previous years of the war. Railways, locomotives, fuel and logistics hubs, data centers, bridges, warehouses — the list keeps growing.

Eager to impress his Western donors with fireworks over Moscow — and, in the process, squeeze yet more money out of them that he and his cronies could conveniently help themselves to — Zelensky ended up putting his own citizens in the firing line, while having no credible means of protecting them from the Kremlin’s fury.

And the Kremlin, for its part, increasingly appears determined to settle the “Ukrainian question” once and for all.

In Washington, they are concerned France is going to become the next Islamic nation with nukes.

In the Russia Ukraine peace deal the Trump administration asked me to write, I said the U.S. should get out of NATO. They actually said to me, ‘We agree.’

For now, I am confident the U.S. does not desire what Europe is planning. What concerns me is a Democratic victory in November. The Democratic Party is historically much more pro-war.

Prof. John Mearsheimer on the risk of Israel using nuclear weapons against Iran:

‘There is no state on the planet that is more ruthless, more murderous, than the Israelis. So the idea that they would use nuclear weapons is certainly plausible.’

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

I had a briefing recently. I was told Trump understands Zelensky and will try to strong-arm him into a settlement.

Putin wants to settle, It is Zelensky who is the main obstacle to peace.

@ArmstrongEcon Thanks to vd Leyen and Costa whom are stealing our money

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@POTUS: Mercedes-Benz is investing $4B to expand its plant in Tuscaloosa. U.S. Steel is investing $475M at its plant near Birmingham. Eli Lilly is investing $6B to create a new factory in Huntsville. ArcelorMittal is investing $1.2B for an advanced steel manufacturing facility in Mobile. We just opened a brand new facility to build Navy submarines in Cherokee — and we're building new Coast Guard Cutters right here in Mobile.

MANUFACTURING IS BACK!

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

Zelensky blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. They are charging one Iranian or Ukrainian they found. He does not care about anything. Blowing it up destroyed the European economy, wiped out the German car industry, and raised fuel costs.

Then he has the audacity to ask Europe for money to keep the war going.

Trump on getting impeached:

I'm getting good at it. It's a fake impeachment. We could have done that with Sleepy Joe. I could have done that with Hillary Clinton. I had the chance to do it if I wanted.

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has joined the supervisory board of Globus’s Russian business, with the retailer describing him as an “ideal addition” to the team.

“It is important that companies such as Hyperglobus continue to maintain economic ties and invest in Russia,” Schröder said.

Schröder previously chaired the board of Russian oil giant Rosneft and the shareholders’ committee of Nord Stream AG.

@cduhaime In Ukraine for example as exposed by Tulsi Gabbard

120 biological laboratories across 30-plus countries, including over 40 facilities in Ukraine

[Christine Duhaime @cduhaime]

Part of the US military's operation to cause global food insecurity. If these countries ill-advisedly take orders from the US to eliminate their reserves of diesel, agricultural output will be directly negatively impacted. So will whatever industrialization they have left.

[Christine Duhaime @cduhaime]

Wow, what a hypocrite! They are intolerant of Russian language in Ukraine, and Russian culture in Ukraine -or anywhere for that matter - and purport to welcome other languages and cultures.

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

Former Kremlin adviser Sergey Karaganov says that if NATO troops enter Ukraine, it would lead to nuclear war.

“If there's an escalation, then there will be war, that's absolutely unequivocal. it will be a nuclear war,” Karaganov said. “I don’t want that, because I understand what such a development would mean. A nuclear war in Europe can easily be won, but it would entail terrible moral costs for us ourselves. Millions would die.”

[k.l.a. @klamath70]

You are right about CIA, but, there are videos on YouTube dating back to the 10's years which shows that ukrainians taught to their children the hate against russians, in schools in summer camps ...

So ukrainians are not innocents and furthermore CIA is not a justification for slaughter their civilian countrymen just because they want to keep speaking Russian praying in Russian and keep their russian traditions

[k.l.a. @klamath70]

Russians are only asking the Donbass's regions

The russian speaking people of those regions have been tortured, bombed, killed, left without water, left without electricity, since 2014 by the Pro-Nazi paramilitary ukrainians army

Now they are independent from the pro Nazis whom slaughtered them since 2014 and that still bomb them and kill them deliberately

The dwarf white powder addict ukrainian worm cannot claim those regions after twelve years of persecutions

@rvcbrice @BrianMcDonaldIE The real point is that Merkel Holland and then Macron deceived him and it was not the only time that the West deceived the russians

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

Putin on Angela Merkel’s admission that the Minsk agreements were intended to buy Ukraine time.

“Even though Mrs Merkel said that ‘we had no intention’ [of implementing them], it still seems to me that she hoped they would somehow manage to steer things towards a peaceful process.”
