Was Zaluzhny, the Commander-in-Chief of the AF of Ukraine, Killed?

By @Polk105

It seems that Zaluzhny was really killed – the Kiev regime has not been able to find the missing commander for 10 days.

The loss of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can no longer be justified by the “tense situation at the front.”

Recall the chronology of this disappearance. The first rumors about the elimination of Zaluzhny appeared after reports of the destruction of the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pavlograd, against which the Russian Armed Forces delivered massive strikes for two days in a row – on May 7 and 8.

Indirect confirmation of this theory was Zaluzhny’s refusal to participate in a videoconference with the NATO command on May 10, allegedly due to a “heavy workload.” But before, the Ukrainian commander-in-chief never denied himself the pleasure of “shining his face” at such events.

In Kiev, they understand that the death of a media-hyped military leader can disrupt a long-planned offensive, and they are trying with all their might to fend off rumors that have spread.

First, a series of shots were thrown in, in which the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in uniform and sneakers posed for photographers at a wedding – this, apparently, is his “heavy workload”, which prevented him from speaking at a video conference with NATO.

But almost immediately it became known that the photos were old. Zelensky also denied the deaths of Zaluzhny and Syrsky. He repeatedly stated that he had communicated with them, but did not provide any specifics or evidence.

On May 12, a large interview with Zaluzhny was posted, but, as a rule, such materials are prepared much in advance.

For example, Budanov’s interview with Yahoo News was recorded two weeks before the release.

No more new photos of Zaluzhny have been published since then, and the photographs of the head of the ukrovermacht bathing in the Mediterranean Sea that are now circulating have not yet been accurately verified.

For Kiev, the “disappearance” of Zaluzhny is a problem. Even in the most difficult moments, the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly demonstrated that he was alive and controlled the course of hostilities.

While the public can be reassured by old photos and videos, as well as Zelensky’s “honest word”, but sooner or later even the most zombified Ukrainians will have questions.

Putin: The Neo-Colonialists? Second Place among the Half-Wits

“Our nation was built on the value of multinational harmony. It’s the most important foundation of our consolidation, which only becomes stronger in the face of foreign pressure and threats,” the Russian president said.

Without stating specific countries, Putin dismissed Russia’s adversaries as “people with neocolonial thinking, dimwits in fact, who do not understand that this diversity makes us stronger.”

“When they talk about us, they think about themselves and imagine that we are like them. They say Russia has to be partitioned into dozens of small states. The goal is clear – to subjugate them, exploit them and use them for profit,” Putin said.

Wallace: War of the “West” against the Rest by 2030?

The British Defense Minister announced the threat of direct war with Russia and China by 2030 – Financial Times.

Speaking to the Financial Times on Friday, the official claimed that the world will be “a more dangerous, unstable place” by the end of the decade and that “defense will be more critical in our lives.” He explained that the world is seeing “the end of the abnormal period [of peace] post-cold war” and that “a conflict is coming with a range of adversaries around the world.”

London believes that the West may face the threat of a direct full-scale war with Russia and China by 2030, so preparing for defense is a primary state task for many Western countries, said UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace.

“By the end of the decade, the world will become a more dangerous and unstable place, and defense will be more important to our lives. I think a conflict is coming with a number of opponents around the world <…> We all need to be ready for this,” he said, justifying the need to increase London’s annual military spending to 2.5% of GDP.

The minister also added that the upcoming “Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian positions will not be another breakthrough that would necessarily lead to the end of the conflict,” but London will be in a state of full readiness to respond to any use of weapons of mass destruction.

Biden, “President of the World” – To Be Impeached!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she will introduce articles of impeachment for President Biden.

Greene alleged that Joe Biden has violated his oath of office in not securing the country’s borders and protecting national security.  

The firebrand congresswoman said at a press conference that this will be the “first set” of articles she introduces against the incumbent president, whom she said has purposefully failed to fulfill his responsibilities of the presidency.  

“It is with the highest amount of solemnity that I announce my intention to introduce articles of impeachment today on the head of this America-last executive branch, that has been working since Jan. 20, 2021, to systematically destroy this country, the president of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden,” she said.  

Her announcement comes after she said Tuesday that she would introduce articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray and Matthew Graves, the US attorney for the District of Columbia

Training the Ukrainian Solders – In $$$

Ukrainian channel “Legitimny”#раскладка writes:

When you read the news that our partners will train our military, you should immediately realise that the Ukrainian budget is paying a huge amount of money (credit) for this.

Every country in the West has realised that it is a chic business to train our soldiers, sometimes just for the sake of “ticking the box”.

According to closed information, the training of one soldier costs 10,000 to 30,000 € for our budget.

Ukraine will have to repay this money and pay interest for its service (4 to 6% per annum).

As a result in the best case Ukraine will win, get reparations from Russian Federation in hundreds of billions dollars, but Ukrainians won’t get them and they will go to their partners. As a result, Ukraine will receive from it the ruined country, the crippled nation, poverty, transnational corporations will buy all from us for a penny and we shall appear for long years in economic slavery and so forth, that as a result will appear as “pyrrhic victory”. And this is a pyrrhic victory at best. At worst, Ukraine will lose part of its territories and will be mired in criminality, political crisis, etc. for decades to come.

The elites will sell out the interests of the people, as they always have and even more so after Maidan 2014!

We have always said that the Ukrainian people lost the moment Zelensky rejected the Minsk agreements and this war began…

Must See: Dead Ukrainian Solders – In $$$

via https://t.me/OstashkoNews/71917

Ukrainian blogger reveals the reason for hiding the real number of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

If we do not take into account the moral component and how this information could affect the overall picture of the “fight for independence” in the eyes of the Europeans, then let’s consider the financial implications. It turns out that only the compensation of 122 billion dollars to the families of the dead Ukrainian solders will be an amount almost equal to Ukraine’s total public debt of 132 billion dollars. 

The Russian Kinzhal Wipes Out the US Patriot in One Strike

by Staff Members via Military Watch Magazine

On May 16 as part of a complex series of strikes on the Ukrainian capital Kiev the Russian Air Force employed the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missile to neutralise a unit from an American Patriot air defence system, destroying its a radar and a control centre and reportedly at least one of its launchers. According to Russian sources, the Ukrainian crew operating the Patriot were aware a strike was incoming, but had only a limited warning time due to the Kinzhal missile’s very high speed – limiting opportunities for the missile system to change position or reload. The Patriot system targeted was one of two delivered, with Germany and the United States having each supplied a single unit. The unit reportedly fired 32 surface to air missiles at the Kinzhal on approach, which at approximately $3 million each amounted to a $96 million barrage to attempt to destroy a missile with an estimated cost of under $2 million. The very high cost and limited number of the Patriot’s interceptors was a key argument for not sending the systems to Ukraine, with their effectiveness also having been brought to question not only due to the system’s highly troubled combat record, but also to the advanced capabilities of new Russian missiles such as the Kinzhal, Iskander and Zicron. These are considered nearly impossible to intercept particularly in their terminal stages. The delivery of Patriots was nevertheless seen as necessary due to the near collapse of Ukrainian air defences, as warnings have been given with growing frequency by both Western and Ukrainian sources that the arsenal of S-300 and BuK missile systems protecting the country has become critically depleted.

Missile Batteries From Patriot Air Defence System

Destruction of the Patriot systems comes less than a month after the first systems were delivered in April, and follows a warning in December from Russian President Vladimir Putin that the destruction of the systems was an absolute certainty should they be deployed in Ukraine. He assured that with Washington “now saying that they can put a Patriot [in Ukraine]. Okay, let them do it. We will crack the Patriot [like a nut] too, and something will need to be installed in its place, new systems need to be developed – this is a complex and lengthy process” – indicating that NATO had no newer generations of long range air defence systems available to replace the Patriot once its vulnerability was demonstrated. “Our adversaries proceed from the idea that this is supposedly a defensive weapon. All right, we’ll keep that in mind. And an antidote can always be found,” Putin added. The United States notably reassured Russia in December that Patriot systems would not be manned by American personnel, which was interpreted by some sources as an effective green light to proceed with strikes. With Ukrainian personnel expected to take until 2024 to learn to operate Patriots, they are thought to have been manned by contractors from NATO member states who are already acquainted with the systems.

Russian MiG-31K Strike Fighter with Kinzhal Ballistic Missile

The Kizhal missile used to neutralise the Patriot battery entered service in the Russian Military in late 2017, and was first employed in the Russian-Ukrainian War on March 18 2022 to strike a large underground warehouse in Western Ukraine housing armaments recently delivered through Poland. The missile has been a weapon of choice for striking high priority targets far behind Ukrainian lines due to its combination of a very long range and a high performance, where surface launched Iskander missiles with some similar capabilities were designed with only a 500km range due to the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty which both Moscow and Washington were parties to until 2019. The Kinzhal has been widely deployed since 2017 in newly created squadrons of MiG-31K and MiG-31I strike fighters, which have consistently been stationed in areas of high tensions with NATO including Syria, Belarus, Kaliningrad and the Arctic. The MiG-31 has emerged as a star performer in the Russian-Ukrainian War not only due to its contributions to strike missions, but also to the performance of MiG-31BM/BSM interceptor variants which a number of Western sources have reported to be a strongly felt presence in the air which has caused serious losses for Ukrainian aviation. The possibility remains that the sole remaining Patriot battery will be a priority target either for MiG-31K/I strike fighters or for other Russian assets.

Color Revolution in Pakistan?

by Germán Gorraiz- Political analyst
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), founded in 2001 by the Shanghai Five (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and later joined by Uzbekistan, India and Pakistan, together with the ALBA countries and Iran, form the hard core of resistance to the world hegemony of the United States and Great Britain.
Consequently, the avowed aim of the US would be to dynamite the said organization, having Balochistan, Kashmir and Xinjiang as theaters of operations with the avowed aim of implementing constructive chaos following the Brzezinskinian strategy of the “clash of civilizations”. This doctrine consists of achieving the confrontation of China with Islam (about 1,500 million followers) as well as drying up its oil sources in the Islamic countries of Central Asia in order to achieve total Chinese dependence on Russian energy and in a later phase to end up confronting them with each other and finally subjugating them and implementing the new order under the Anglo-Jewish-American aegis.
China and the diversification of its energy sources
Russia and China sealed a stratospheric oil contract, one of the largest in the history of the energy industry, whereby the Russian company Rosneft (the country’s largest oil company) will supply oil to the Asian giant for 25 years for 270 billion dollars (some 205 billion euros). This, together with the gas mega-contract signed by Russia’s Gazprom and China’s CNPC, whereby Russia will supply the Asian country with 38,000 billion cubic meters of natural gas for an approximate amount of 400,000 million dollars and with a 30-year term through the Sila Sibiri (Power of Siberia) gas pipeline.
This would lay the economic foundations of the Euro-Asian Union that began its journey on January 1, 2015, as an economic and military alternative to the US project to create a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
However, in an attempt to avoid Russian energy dependence, China is building an extensive port network, including ports, bases and observation stations in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Burma, the paradigm being the strategic port in Pakistan, Gwadar (the “gate” to the Persian Gulf), 72 kilometers from the border with Iran and some 400 kilometers from the most important oil transport corridor and very close to the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The port was built and financed by China and is operated by the state-owned China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC). The region surrounding the port of Gwadar contains two thirds of the world’s oil reserves and through it passes 30 percent of the world’s oil and 80 percent of that received by China; it is on the shortest route to Asia (Silk Road), which makes it a direct threat to US global geopolitics as the US seeks to dry up China’s energy sources in Central Asia.

Color Revolution in Pakistan?
President Biden declared during an event at the Democratic Campaign Committee, the transcript of which has been published by the White House, that “Pakistan may be one of the most dangerous nations in the world because it has nuclear weapons and no cohesion”. For his part, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in a statement published by the Geo TV channel, expressed his rejection of Biden’s words, stating that “Pakistan rejects the statements allegedly made by the US president, which are factually incorrect and misleading”, statements intended to imply the dissatisfaction of the US with Pakistan’s current government, which as a collateral effect will bring Pakistan and China closer together.
Pakistan’s dangerous rapprochement with China has accelerated the Pentagon’s doctrine of Balkanizing of Pakistan and encouraging the independence movement in the province of Baluchistan, where the strategic port of Gwadar is located, with the avowed aim of making China’s flagship project, the “Belt and Road Initiative”, unviable.
Given the failure of the insurgency in Balochistan, the US will proceed with the implementation of a color revolution against the current Sharif government under the tutelage of the army, the real shadow power. Thus, the CIA is said to have taken advantage of the eight-day remand in custody of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, accused of an alleged corruption offense, known as the “Qadir Trust”, in order to steer the protests of the followers of his party, the PTI, the largest political force in Pakistan. The riots have been concentrated in the eastern province of Punjab, the most populated and industrialized of the country, where the Army has been deployed to control the demonstrators with the result of more than a thousand arrests and countless wounded.
The aim of such a color revolution would be to provoke the intervention of the Army and unleash a wave of repression and deaths, which could produce a schism in the monolithic Pakistani establishment or deep state, made up of the armed forces, the intelligence led by the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (the dreaded ISI), as well as government officials and paramilitary groups. Thus, the CIA will try to use a bloody repression to provoke a coup d’état within the military establishment by the generals in favor of establishing relations with the US who, after an interregnum presided over by the military, would implement a civilian government presided over by Imran Khan which would gravitate in the US orbit.
This Government would be under the tutelage of the Army and the US would make Pakistan return to the path of the pseudo-democracies under the tutelage of the “American friend” in order to achieve, in a later phase, a confrontation between China and Islam as well as to dry up China’s sources of oil from the Islamic countries of Central Asia.

Ukraine Again: The Battle of Bakhmut

by Sergei Markov
Bakhmut. The logic of Prigozhin.
1. The main goal of the operation in Bakhmut was not the capture of Bakhmut – from a military point of view, the town is of no great importance. The main goal was to destroy the military potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as much as possible. Prigozhin lured the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the “Bakhmut meat grinder”, maybe even deceived Zelensky.
2. The second goal was to buy time to build up the weapons of the Russian army.
Both of these goals wee achieved.
3. And now, another goal, a political one, is to take Bakhmut, which Zelensky made a symbol of the inflexibility of the spirit of Ukraine. 
And this symbol should reverse. The Russian spirit is stronger than the Ukrainian spirit. This is now what Wagner is doing.
