👀 Rutte: »When you are sure it is the Russians or *almost* sure it is the Russians, attribute it to the Russians, exactly like Estonia did today.«
Rutte spilling the beans: i.e., we are not sure if it is the Russians, but we blame them anyway.
STATEMENT
Farm victims should not be political props
Afrikaners for South Africa (AfSA) strongly condemns Lex Libertas’s planned display of 3 000 white crosses in Washington, DC. We believe the campaign exploits the suffering of farm victims to advance a narrow political agenda, presents Americans with a misleading picture of South Africa and risks deepening racial divisions at home.
We are Afrikaners. We unequivocally condemn farm killings and all violence against farming communities. Victims deserve justice, survivors need support, and rural safety requires urgent action.
Our concern is that their suffering is being used to tell a misleading story and advance a private political agenda.
The evidence does not support a campaign of racial persecution:
South Africa’s violent-crime crisis affects every community, including black farmers and farmworkers. Research indicates that farm attacks are driven mainly by robbery and other criminal motives rather than by a coordinated campaign of racial persecution. This does not rule out racial hatred in a handful of individual attacks, but it challenges the picture the cross campaign presents.
Grief is not a mandate for self-governance:
Lex Libertas openly links the crosses to its personal pursuit of American support for white “self-governance” (https://t.co/lPgPtuLtm9). That political ambition deserves scrutiny on its own merits. The deaths of farm victims cannot serve as a mandate for it.
The organisers should explain what this spectacle will achieve for those still living with the threat of violence. Will it improve policing, speed up emergency responses, or provide lasting support for grieving families? Its success should be measured in those terms, not in headlines or political theatre.
South Africans could pay the price:
The distorted narrative could discourage tourism and investment in South Africa. Within South Africa, it can inflame racial suspicion and undermine cooperation between communities whose safety depends on one another.
The Trump administration’s aid cuts, visa restrictions and threats of further action suggest that South Africa is already being used to score political points in the US. With American midterm elections approaching, we fear this display will give that campaign fresh ammunition. South Africans should not pay the price for a small faction’s political point-scoring and fundraising in America.
Lex Libertas and its associates speak for a minority:
Lex Libertas does not speak for all Afrikaners or all South Africans. We ask Americans to listen to a wider range of South African voices and, should they wish, support practical and honest efforts to reduce violence across all communities.
Honour all victims. Demand the full picture. Help us build a safer, more united South Africa.
L’ancien conseiller du Département d’État américain 🇺🇸 James Carden remet les pendules à l'heure :
“Les Tomahawks ne changeront rien.
Pas plus que les HIMARS, Patriot ou F16.
La guerre est perdue.
Et c’est l’Ukraine, et non pas la Russie qui se trouve au bord du gouffre.”
Et de rajouter :
“L’Ukraine attaque ces territoires du Donbass depuis 2014. Les Ukrainiens ne sont pas entièrement sincères. Ils disent vouloir les terres de l'est et le Donbass, mais sans les Russes ethniques qui y vivent. Au cours des 30 dernières années, ils ont tout fait pour priver ces personnes de leurs droits.”
L’aveu qui détruit trois ans de propagande occidentale.
L'aveu du nettoyage ethnique des ukrainiens russophones par les Nazis hitlériens ukrainiens.

🚨UKRAINE WAR "Not About Nato" | "Never About NATO" | "Nothing to Do With NATO"
🚨NATO training, NATO weapons, NATO mercenaries, NATO specialists, NATO intelligence, NATO money. ... but nothing to do with NATO.
🚨The BIGGEST THREAT in the WORLD is NATO.
‼️Never Forget that Vladimir Putin Was Only Asking About:
🔴Don’t expand NATO eastward
🔴Respecting Minsk agreements
🔴Keep Ukraine neutral.
🚨Fact: NATO Cannot Exist Without an Enemy.
🚨It needs wars—for its budget, for weapons, for control.
🚨The alliance's hatred of Russia is not political, but historical—it's ingrained in its very structure.
🚨Putin says the current crisis in Ukraine is a direct result of years of aggressive NATO policies.
🚨NATO Didn't Want Russia Because NATO
Wanted a WAR With Russia
🚨From 2001 all the way to 2022, 21 years, NATO moved inexorably East, surrounding Russia.
🚨The Ukraine - Russian War Was Provoked!
🚨Tucker Carlson: Putin did not start this war.
🚨This was not, "An unprovoked invasion." "Putin just randomly went over the line into Eastern Ukraine and stole these oblasts. He stole this land that belonged to another people."
🚨That's a lie, and it's not a defense of Putin to call it everybody knows it now. The truth is that in 2001, Putin, same guy, same leader, asked the Bush Administration, in person, directly to George W. Bush,
🚨"I would like to join NATO. I would like to join the defensive alliance that exists to keep me from moving West into Western Europe."
🚨PUTIN: Two Times That We Were Ready to Join NATO. Both times we were turned down.
🚨Ukraine is the only NON-NATO nation supporting every NATO mission. In Afghanistan and Iraq Ukrainian troops are helping to support democracies.
▶NATO has been encircling Russia since the nineties.
▶NATO exists to solve the problems created by NATO’s existence.
▶ NATO has never defended anyone, but only attacked.
▶NATO is a military Alliance that feeds on war.
▶To justify its existence, NATO constantly needs an external enemies and conflicts.
▶The purpose of the NATO alliance is "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.
▶Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: The Casus Belli of the Ukraine War is NATO Enlargement, US Coup, CIA Operations All Over Ukraine.
▶Jeffrey Sachs on Trump: Until President Trump Says Publicly, "NATO Will NOT Enlarge," This War Will Continue. That's his JOB. The way to end this war is to say publicly, "NATO enlargement was a mistake, it was a provocation, it was a threat to Russia's security."
▶Jeffrey Sachs: Russia is not going to stop fighting as long as NATO enlargement is on the table.
This is the basic reason why we are at war.
▶Prof. John Mearsheimer: NATO Expansion Was Really the Key.
Ukraine was becoming a de facto member of NATO.
▶Larry C. Johnson A Former CIA Officer:
30 Years of Provocation by the West, 30 Years of Western Efforts to Bring Ukraine INTO NATO, 30 Years of Using, Making, Ukraine a de FACTO Member of NATO by Virtue of the FACT That, They've Conducted More NATO Military Exercises in Ukraine, Than 24 Other NATO Countries Over the Last 30 years, so That's Remarkable for a Country That's NOT
🚨Not dissolving NATO in 1990 was a big mistake, and it’s time to fix that mistake.
The film tells the story of the emergence of the Western military alliance. NATO's true goal was "to keep the Russians out of Europe," as stated by the alliance's first Secretary General, Hastings Ismay. Officially, however, the bloc was declared to ensure global security in the post-war world.
In 1955, in opposition to NATO, the USSR and its allies created the Warsaw Pact. It was the only restraining force standing in the way of the alliance. For nearly half a century, a fragile peace prevailed in Europe. After the collapse of the USSR, the North Atlantic bloc carried out dozens of destructive military operations in various parts of the world, systematically advancing toward Russia's borders by admitting new members.
Yugoslavia became the first major "testing ground." Under the guise of a "humanitarian operation," the US dropped thousands of bombs on civilian homes, bridges, and factories. NATO members poisoned people with depleted uranium and sold their organs. The invasion of the Middle East by the United States, NATO's main ally, in Syria, Libya, and Iraq has reduced cities to rubble, leaving survivors homeless, without a homeland, and without a future.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Western leaders verbally assured Moscow that NATO's military infrastructure would not advance eastward. In practice, the alliance's borders gradually moved closer to Russia. NATO deployed more and more missiles in Eastern European countries.
Today, the alliance is discussing the right to "preventive action"—the ability to attack Russia without pretext or a declaration of war. The proposal was made by Germany, the country responsible for starting the First and Second World Wars. The nuclear threat no longer seems abstract.
Brilliant montage video by Matt Orfalea @0rf
Boryspil near Kyiv was attacked with Iskander missiles, with a truck parking lot coming under fire.
Initially, it was claimed that the missiles had struck civilian facilities.
The trucks were said to have been used to deliver food.
People were killed.
The Kyiv regional State Emergency Service (SES) foolishly published photographs showing that launch systems for long-range UAVs had been concealed inside the trucks.
The photos were later removed from all Ukrainian publications.
Civilians were killed in the strike on the vehicle parking lot. They did not know what was inside the trucks…
Double standard ou qui est le chouchou de l'Europe ?
🇺🇦 Ukraine :
— Pourquoi si peu d'attention est-elle accordée au fait que la Corée du Nord fournit des missiles balistiques à la Russie ?
