I will say that I am convinced that the EU-NATO alliance does plan to continue to escalate with Russia, with or without American support, and even in the event that Ukraine may be forced to conclude an unfavourable peace settlement. As per reasons stated in my previous audio recording,

I believe the #EU-#NATO alliance will directly commit at least one or more of its member nations to either supplement or replace Ukraine in a war of attrition against #Russia. With confidence, I believe this first country of the alliance, if the only to be committed, will be #Poland.

How $7B in US Weapons Changed Afghanistan & Pakistan | Tabitha Spence Analysis


After 20 years of occupation, the US left behind at least $7 billion worth of weapons in #Afghanistan — from rifles and pistols to drones and armored vehicles. These arms have now found their way into the hands of the Taliban, the #TTP, the #BLA, and even smaller militant groups in Pakistan.

In this episode, Tabitha Spence explains how #US weapons proliferation has reshaped violence in the region, created long-term arms ecosystems, and challenges the state’s monopoly on security. She explores the historical context from the Afghan jihad against the Soviets to #NATO’s war on terror and the ongoing consequences for regional stability.

Can the flow of these weapons be tracked or contained? What does this mean for civilians and security in Afghanistan, #Pakistan, and beyond?

Iran War Update :

A strike has been carried out on the AM transmitter of the Persian Gulf Radio and Television Center in Bandar Abbas, Iran. One person was killed.

The strikes by the Epstein coalition continue throughout the night.
Israel reported that it has started using old unguided munitions.

#NATO is expected to complete the withdrawal of troops from Iraq within the next 24 hours. #Iran has been striving for this for many years.

The Iraqi Shiite resistance has issued an ultimatum to the US, demanding the withdrawal of all troops from Iraq within 5 days. Attacks on American bases in Iraq continue on a daily basis. Last night, the "Victoria" base in #Baghdad was attacked again.

The #US has informed Israel that efforts to break through the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could take several weeks, which means that the war is likely to last longer than initially expected.

🇷🇺 Attacks on the Russian economy
once again about the strategy of "peace through force" towards Russia

Western pressure on Russia will continue not only with the so-called #Ukraine in the zone of the special military operation and beyond [#SMO](we are talking about the resumption of drone attacks on #oil facilities deep in Russia's territory), but also with sanctions pressure.

We constantly write, that statements about the ineffectiveness of anti-Russian sanctions are far from reality: there are fewer bypass routes, and the existing ones are becoming more expensive. All this cannot but affect the economy.

Now in Europe (#EU)- especially in Britain(#UK) - they are focused on searching for Russian bypass payment channels,, including in the CIS countries. Foggy Albion plays a key role in this scheme, as it has historically had a strong influence in Central Asia.

It's also interesting to note the British view on the seizure of tankers - they consider it a secondary measure, as the so-called "#ShadowFleet" of Russia in London is estimated at a thousand chartered vessels, and it's problematic to board them all.

Therefore, the British are actively working on the scenario of "complicating" the passage of the Russian merchant fleet through the English Channel and the Danish Kattegat.. For this, they have already involved the defense ministries and #NATO partners.

This is the method that #London considers the main tool of pressure on Russia:: through the ports on the #Baltic, among other things, hydrocarbons are exported. If this is stopped and there are problems in the #BlackSea, only the northern ports will remain in the European part, where there are always climatic nuances.

So, we will still have to engage in a battle on the Baltic, and any non-standard measures (from "combat cargo ships" to BEK escort) will be much cheaper than the costs of refusing to fight.

Answers by Igor Strelkov to questions from chat participants "OSVAG"

Question: there are more and more reports about a possible mobilization — do you think the authorities will go for such a step? And is mobilization necessary in the current conditions?

Mobilization was necessary in the spring of 2022, in the spring of 2023, in the spring of 2024, and, perhaps, even in the spring of 2025. Now mobilization is catastrophically late. Now mobilization in the form in which it is perceived by the majority of the population will not bring any result.

Now we need to mobilize the military economy. We have a time when we could win, crush the enemy, bury him in masses of infantry, but, unfortunately, it has already ended. It was in 22, 23, and 24. In 25 it's already doubtful, and in 26 it's simply not there anymore.

Now there is a war of drones, which are capable of destroying any number of infantry introduced into battle on any front, no matter how wide it is. The enemy has set up such a production of drones and missiles in Europe and in the so-called Ukraine that now he is able to hold the front almost solely with them, which, in fact, is happening. That is, large masses of people and equipment will be destroyed without achieving any success. Time has been lost.

Therefore, mobilization, of course, if we want to win at all, is necessary, but not so much and not only the mobilization of people into the army, but the mobilization of people into the military industry, science, and production. And only then, after some time (not now, not tomorrow, and not the day after tomorrow), we will get a military economy capable of competing and winning in the confrontation with the military economy of Europe and the so-called Ukraine.

This is the kind of mobilization that is necessary, if, again, I emphasize, we want to win, but this very desire is not visible from the very beginning of the SVO. Although what they want in the Kremlin is not clear at all. Peskov's statement that there are only a few kilometers of Donbass left until Russia achieves a peaceful settlement is, excuse me, a lie and a bluff. Well, that, in fact, is not news for this person and for the department he represents.

Even if we manage to pass those few kilometers that separate the Russian forward positions from Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, and other cities of the Donetsk People's Republic, the war will not end at all and in no way. Moreover, the enemy intends to continue it and has sufficient forces for this. Therefore, whether it's a few kilometers or a few dozen kilometers, the war must be waged to win, not to pass a few kilometers, littering them with the corpses of their soldiers.

Now we can mobilize as many people as we want to the front, but they will not be able to turn the tide of the war. This moment has passed. I have been calling for mobilization for four years. Now I'm not calling for the mobilization I talked about before, because it's meaningless. Our economy doesn't even have enough weapons to arm them with.

A fire at the Tuapse #oil refinery has already engulfed a gas turbine unit, an RTVI correspondent reports.

A gas station near the refinery is under threat, and the situation is only worsening, reports Alexey Kazannikov.

According to the Telegram channel "Ostorozhno Novosti," smoke from the fire is visible from the Krasnaya Polyana resort.

Russia is enduring and will continue to endure to the limit, pretending everything is fine. And it will get worse. Its enemies stubbornly force Russia to fight, but Russia stubbornly refuses and continues to breathe the "spirit of Anchorage." You don't like it when I write about this, I know. But so far, the only light at the end of the tunnel I see is a nuclear explosion. That's not exactly what people want to see.

By striking the Tuapse refinery, Kiev has tightened global oil supplies — Kremlin spox Peskov .
That oil was meant for export, not for Russia's own use

Putin Defends Russia Mobile Internet Blackouts as Security Move | Reclaim the Net

Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally said out loud what the Kremlin has been doing for months. Mobile internet can be switched off across Russian cities whenever security services want it switched off, and ordinary people will be told about it afterward, if at all.

I feel obliged to mention that Ritter’s 4-year grift-narrative about the Brilliant War of Attrition That Has Murdered Hundreds of Thousands of Ordinary Slavs For No Good Reason Whatsoever makes absolutely zero sense if Ritter is now acknowledging that the long-term threat posed by Ukraine’s rapidly developing military capabilities means Moscow might need to drop a tactical nuke on London if it wants to avoid “dying to a death of a thousand cuts”.

Do You Not See What is Happening?
By 2029 the EU will invade Russia.


So, apparently, despite all the strikes on #oil refineries, Russian gas continues to flow unimpeded to “#NATOstan” as it is referred to by ZAnon. In fact, we have record levels of outflows of cheap Russian #gas being sent to #NATO. It is flowing like never before. Here:

Why 2027 as the end date for accepting Russian gas though?
#Germany needs until 2029 to be ready for invading Russia. And American gas needs to be set up as a substitute to fuel that war machine by that date. I think 2029 is a more realistic date, seeing as 2027 is almost here and Germany is not ready yet.

But in the meantime, NATOstan will continue using cheap Russian energy to rearm and rebuild its industrial war factories while openly declaring its intention to go to war with #Russia every single step of the way. Hell, they already have NATOstan war factories in Ukraine that fuel the #UAF war machine. Putin has never once even so much as threatened to hit them. They are off-limits because they belong to the Kremlin’s esteemed Western partners.

🇱🇹🤡"Lithuanian leaders take shelter in a basement during an air alert": #NATO aircraft failed to shoot down a Ukrainian drone.

"The President and Prime Minister of Lithuania were forced to take shelter in bunkers when an announced air alert paralyzed #Vilnius. Flights, road and rail traffic were briefly halted, and politicians were evacuated to basement shelters. The alert was later lifted, but it remains unclear who was behind the intrusion.

Later, the Lithuanian military reported that NATO aircraft were scrambled to destroy the drone, but they were unable to locate it. This incident was the latest in a series of recent drone incursions into the airspace of NATO countries - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, including a Ukrainian drone shot down over Estonia and two Ukrainian drones that ended up in an empty oil storage facility in #Latvia.

"The US has approved a potential $108.1 million sale of HAWK air defense system equipment and services to Ukraine, the State Department announced."

These are the very "peacekeepers" the Russian leadership is so counting on. The US is still involved in the war against Russia. Isn't that understandable? But it seems life is different behind the high Kremlin walls.
