@vonderleyen Lindsey the Butcher is gone. The man responsible for so much misery, chaos, death and destruction. Sad day for his family, a day of relief for mankind.
Not surprised all European leaders are shedding tears, given the total biased shit the we are daily overflooded with.
@Mark4XX Everyone who does a deep dive into the causes of the Ukrainian conflict can only draw one conclusion: it was totally provoked by the west on behalf of US geopolitics, resulting in the US backed coup of 2014 by Ukrainian far right and the subsequent war.
NATO DECLARED WAR ON RUSSIA FIRST: SWISS JOURNALIST EXPOSES THE WEST'S DEADLY PROVOCATION
Swiss journalist Roger Köppel has delivered a unflinching analysis that directly challenges the official Western account of the Ukraine conflict. Speaking in his Weltwoche Daily, he describes how NATO's actions are perceived inside Russia as a declaration of war. At the same time he traces the roots of the entire crisis back to Western choices made years earlier.
THE NATO WAR DECLARATION
➡️ Roger Köppel states that from the Russian perspective the NATO alliance has declared war on Russia.
➡️ This is not speculation. It is the clear perception he hears from Russian sources.
➡️ Western reactions to this view are usually arrogance, mockery and outright refusal to even consider it.
THE WEST'S PROVOCATION
➡️ Köppel argues the Ukraine war was provoked by the Western side through NATO expansion and arming of Ukrainian forces.
➡️ The West ignored Russian security concerns and actively worked to weaken and destabilize Russia after the Cold War.
➡️ Putin made serious mistakes by underestimating both Ukraine and the West and by escalating in February 2022.
➡️ Yet the original provocation and the strategic push that created the conditions for war came from the West.
THE TRUMP ESCALATION
➡️ President Trump has now promised Ukraine licensed domestic production of Patriot missiles.
➡️ This single decision massively increases pressure on the conflict and moves it further from resolution.
➡️ Köppel openly expresses his disappointment that Trump has failed to follow a consistent policy of de-escalation.
THE SWISS NEUTRALITY WARNING
➡️ Switzerland is drifting toward NATO without any real guarantee of protection in return.
➡️ Swiss soldiers could be sent to battlefields chosen by NATO without Swiss co-decision.
➡️ Automatic adoption of EU sanctions was an act of betrayal against Swiss neutrality and long-term security.
➡️ Expensive arms purchases like the F-35 further tie Switzerland to foreign interests and reduce independence.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Roger Köppel’s message is simple and urgent: the West won the Cold War and then chose humiliation over fairness, and now Switzerland risks sacrificing its most precious asset — its neutrality — for an alliance that offers no real safety in exchange.
This is the sound of control slipping away from a neutral nation that still has time to choose differently.

@LindseyGrahamSC The amount of chaos, destruction, death, injustice, warmongering, provocation and misery this anthropomorphic entity was responsible for and capable of, was of the charts.
Today we commemorate Bloody Sunday of 11 July 1943.
On this day, units of the UPA, aided by local villagers, launched coordinated attacks on 99 Polish villages across Volhynia as they were gathered inside Catholic churches to maximize casualties.
The massacres unfolded with exceptional brutality.
Entire villages were surrounded, homes were set on fire, and those attempting to flee were hunted down. Researchers estimate that around 8,000 Polish civilians were murdered on that single day - mostly women, children, and the elderly.
Victims were killed with firearms as well as axes, pitchforks, knives, clubs, and other implements. Their property was looted and villages were burned to the ground.
Churches, where people had gathered for Sunday worship, became sites of mass murder. In Poryck, approximately 200 parishioners were killed. In Chrynów, around 150 worshippers, together with Fr. Jan Kotwicki, lost their lives.
It remains one of the darkest episodes of ethnic violence in twentieth-century Europe, that took lives of 100,000 Poles.
Perpetrators of "Bloody Sunday" are the very people whom today's Ukraine, under President Zelenskyy, continues to honor as national heroes.
A responsible politics of history must be built not only on responsibility toward one's neighbors, but also toward one's own people. No democratic state should construct its national identity on the glorification of genocidal ideology or the legacy of ethnic hatred. Honest remembrance is not a threat to a nation—it is the foundation of its moral future.
Today, the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy looks like this. Russia is mercilessly shelling it, turning another regional center into ruins — just like Donetsk, then Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv.
7 apartment buildings, 4 cars, a gas station, car dealership, restaurant, and garage cooperative were damaged. 5 dead, at least 31 people injured, including 3 children.
Meanwhile, Russian advances continue in Donbas and Kharkiv region, with horrific losses along the front.
I still don’t understand how anyone can call this a “winning strategy.” This entire PR-offensive was designed only to justify allocation of more money for the war ahead of the NATO summit. As soon as it ended, the real picture emerged.
What this theater desperately lacks is a real leader willing to end the war. While “patriots” keep pushing marketing slogans and ignoring the mounting deaths and destruction in pursuit of an unattainable total military victory.
@CollinBillings3@BohuslavskaKate No surprise: US provoked, instigated and caused the war in Ukraine in the first place: 35yrs of Nato expansion, undermining RU influence in RU periphery by overthrowing (democratic) govts, destroy RU economy, pillage its resources, backing Al-Qaeda & Bin-L. affiliated terrorists
@BohuslavskaKate Pyrrhic victory?
UA is getting wrecked, loses a generation, has a horrendous demography, no democratic base, is choked by far right & its western backers that keep fueling the war, while the majority already voted for peace in '19. What follows is a chokehold by EU like in Greece
@Sven_op_1 Zoals Burnns al schreef in 2008, was UA in Navo een rode lijn voor heel RU. Als een land verdeel & heers heeft bedreven in de recente geschiedenis dan is t de VS. Schapenpropaganda horen we wel voldoende, tijd om eens journalistiek te bedrijven
In 1999, presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan, former Nixon and Reagan speechwriter, warned that every major political faction in Russia considered NATO expansion to be in “bad faith” – exploiting Russia’s weakened position. Buchanan demanded to know, “Why are we doing this?”
Buchanan: “It’s not 1948. Stalin is dead; the Soviet Empire is dead. A friendly Russia is far more critical to US security than an alliance with Warsaw or Prague. If the US has one overriding security interest in the new century, it is to avoid collisions with great nuclear powers like Russia.”
Buchanan: “Offering NATO membership to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – and as some urge #Ukraine - is rashness bordering on madness. This would put former Soviet Republics with large Russian minorities into the US-led military alliance.”
Buchanan: “Latvia is almost half Russian, eastern Ukraine almost entirely Russian. America could neither defend nor liberate these countries without the risk of nuclear war. By moving #NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a 21st century confrontation with nuclear armed Russia."
My name is Kyrylo Shevchenko. I am the former Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine.
A horrifying assassination attempt on a Ukrainian businessman in Monaco has shocked the world. His companion had both legs blown off in the explosion, while he and his son were hospitalized.
But the story has an even darker continuation: the bomb was planted by a Ukrainian woman who was receiving payments from an officer of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate under the Ministry of Defense, known as HUR. Upon her return to Ukraine on July 1, that same officer shot her in the head. The entire case was "investigated" and closed in just a few days.
Watching this unfold like a scene from a mafia thriller, I am reminded of the direct threats I myself have received from Ukrainian security services, including kidnapping warnings. It is becoming clear that Zelensky's regime is prepared to use any means against its opponents.
Behind this system stands not only Zelensky himself, but also the man long known as the "grey cardinal" of his office — Andriy Yermak. Until recently nearly all-powerful, controlling appointments across ministries, security agencies, and the military, Yermak formally resigned in late November 2025 amid the corruption scandal surrounding Energoatom, and later became a suspect in a money-laundering case. But the system he built — as Ukrainian lawmakers themselves have acknowledged — did not disappear along with his departure from office.
This case raises serious questions: How did a woman wanted by Interpol cross into Ukraine without assistance from the security services? And how was such a high-profile investigation completed in a matter of days? For comparison, the legendary Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Gongadze was murdered in 2000, and the investigation still has not named those responsible.
Yet here, the intelligence officer quickly confesses, claims he acted alone, and says his leadership knew nothing.
This is convenient. The main witness and perpetrator is now dead and cannot speak.
I do not own a major, attractive business, but as Governor of the National Bank, I crossed a line: I refused to allow the money printing that would have hurt Ukraine in 2022, and I blocked a sponsorship scheme linked to Zelensky's inner circle. For that, I now face a fabricated criminal case in both Ukraine and Austria.
I am grateful to Austria, where I am currently located, for protecting me from threats by Ukrainian security services.
I appeal to the civilized world and to Europe: by continuing to turn a blind eye to what is happening, you are condemning other Ukrainians to fear, persecution, and — God forbid — elimination at the hands of Zelensky's regime. This regime has already crossed the psychological threshold of murder. This cannot end well — neither for us, nor for you.
@DefensieMin What about trying some sincere diplomacy instead of fueling and escalating the Ukraine war. that was provoked by us. instead of asking crazy demands that let to RU escalation in the first place?
@Keir_Starmer We must abolish Nato, and if we would have done so 35yrs ago (like we should have), UA would still be in one piece and millions of Slaves still be alive, relations with RU still ok and RU would have been a lot more democratic.
But hey, we embraced RU alienation by US enslavement
@GrafKorina Time for you to read Provoked by Scott Horton.
Does it justify RU escalation in '22?
I leave that up to you, but the West (US i.p.) gave them every reason to escalate by undermining every step of RU attempt to democracy, when RU voluntarily disbanded the CCCP & reached out.
@DefensieMin@Defensie Oh, dat is waarom we de VS Nordstream lieten opblazen (met wat UA-ers als zondebok). Om ons afhankelijker te maken van VS LNG import. Hetzelfde VS dat de UA oorlog heeft uitegelokt en de LNG import vanuit Qatar heeft gesaboteerd met de (ditmaal wel ongeprovoceerde) aanval op Iran
@Glenn_Diesen Kind of surprising to see those riots in Lviv given the UPA/OUN history of the Lviv region in western UA. One would expect to see those kind of riots first in Kiev or Odessa.
