    Putin is an agent of the WEF. Perhaps the truth is, Russia has already been infiltrated.

    Russian forces eliminate Ukrainian mechanized brigade positions, foreign mercenaries disappear in sinkhole

    The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Russian forces eliminated temporary positions of the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade, as well as foreign mercenaries.
    Towards the south of Donetsk, Russian forces repelled Ukrainian actions, occupying lines and positions.
    Still in the south of Donetsk, in 24 hours more than 40 Ukrainian soldiers were eliminated.

    Of course he would receive a standing ovation and have red carpet treatment. He’s a Jewish man and the people running America are Jewish too aren’t they? All this suffering of ordinary people could have been avoided if it weren’t for the war mongers at the top. Also, I’m sure the ordinary American people could do with the money you are spending on Ukraine. Ukraine didn’t need to enter this war in my opinion.
    Viva Palestine 🇵🇸

    First time military power invaded a sovereign nation in the MIDDLE of a PANDEMIC!!! First in modern warfare!!!! Linked between two strategic allied political leaders: Putin and XI! As if Covid 19 pandemic was not enough to cause worldwide chaos….. added a military conflict that added a global energy crisis on top of the ongoing war

    Merry Christmas Ukrainians,
    We are extremely proud of you for all you have achieved. You have touched the hearts of many, you have shown the world how precious freedom is and what it means to be brave and resilient. Among your veracity, there is a very real pain, the suffering you have had to deal with, the unrelenting aggression from a war that should never have happened. We love you and a lot of Americans think about you daily, we hope the Patriot missiles will be enough to expel the aggressors from your lands. The cliche of the Russians being a tough group, well, we have learned who the real tough guys (and women) are, it's the Ukrainians, the Russians are an embarrassment to humanity and their people remain extremely complacent and cowardly in comparison. With or without our weapons, the best of experts said you would be over-run quickly, you proved every one of them wrong. And just like when we invaded foreign lands, whether the US was right or wrong, history has continued to give us the same universal message; you can NOT defeat somebody who is fighting for their very existence, their very survival, we MUST respect sovereign nations and end this madness. Shame on Russia, stop this madness, no one truly is winning, it is terrible what you are even doing to your own people. They will never fall for your lies in the end.

    Are the Americans the stupidest people on the planet? Their government funds Zelenskys Nazis to kill its own people in the Dombass and he butcher's them for 8 long years until the Russians move in to help. Then with continued monthly $billion funding from US warmongers, he tries to fight to best equipped army in the world, while selling the weapons on the black market…. and declares he will fight to the death ….. but not his own obviously. He need to remain alive in exile to spend the $billions Biden sent him, minus the 70% for "the big guy". So the dumbshit yanks treat him like a celebrity….but then this is a country who have started 50 wars and lost all of them…..but happily some have made a lot of money…out of the US taxpayer..and that deserves a round of applause. Yes the yanks ARE officially the stupidest in the world…with the Brits sniffy their arses.

    Zelensky is a tinpot authoritarian dictator who has banned all news outlets that were critical of him, banned all opposition political parties, imprisoned without trial all opposition politicians and outlawed Orthodox Christianity (whose leaders immediately condemned Russia after the war started and a religion that has been present in Ukraine for over 1000 years). So Zelensky is as much of a dictator as Putin is, and as such I don't know why it's ok to support Ukraine and hate Russia but it's wrong the other way around; furthermore, Zelensky is a Soros-funded Leftie Liberal and a low-grade 'comedian' a shitty one at that). And BTW, how come Democrats are spending billions of dollars to protect Ukraine's borders while their country undergoes rampant inflation while at the same time declaring that American borders are 'racist'?

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
