Britain has confirmed the deployment of troops to Ukraine, The Telegraph reports. Defence Secretary John Healey said the British contingent would be deployed to the west of the country and would focus on restoring the combat capability of Ukrainian forces. It is also planned to provide air and sea support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces using the Royal Air Force and Navy.

Igor Strelkov on UK confirmation of sending troops to Ukraine

The military intervention of NATO countries on the territory of the former Russian Empire, the former USSR, that is, on the territory of Russia, specifically on Ukraine - Malorossiya, Novorossiya, has begun. And now NATO countries will be drawn deeper and deeper into military actions, step by step, until they move on to full-scale military actions, albeit limited, but quite serious military contingent.

Accordingly, now to cover this military contingent it will be necessary to transfer air defense, missile defense and aviation to Ukraine. Which will significantly, firstly, relieve the Ukrainian air defense and aviation from countering Russian strikes. And secondly, it will significantly complicate these very strikes from our side.

In fact, Great #Britain has entered the fighting on the side of Ukraine in this war. Which, in fact, was something that had long been warned about: that sooner or later this would happen.

Naturally, there is nothing to rejoice about here. If we were unable to defeat #Ukraine alone, then it is simply stupid and ridiculous to expect that we will be able to defeat Ukraine alone plus the military contingents that #NATO countries will bring into its territory. At least, fighting with the same methods, the same forces, the same means and from the same perspective, that is, with the same "scope" of forces, means and, most importantly, brains.

IGOR STRELKOV: THE PROLONGATION OF THE MILITARY CONFLICT IS TO THE ENEMY'S BENEFIT

Thank you for the detailed news summary from 19.05.25! I don't see much point in commenting on it yet, since almost all events are "within the boundaries" of the previously given strategic forecast. - The war will continue at least until late autumn (and most likely even further) and will end (possibly) only when one of the parties admits (publicly or secretly - it doesn't matter) its military defeat. So far this has not happened and is not expected. - I have already written about this more than once.

Apparently, both sides are preparing for offensive operations, but a truly major "turning point" is not expected in the near future, objectively (although both sides can "miss the blow", of course - that's what war is for, to be full of unexpected events). In any case, the prolongation of the military conflict is to the advantage (as before) of the enemy - he is "putting together" a strong coalition, "creepingly" preparing to introduce foreign military contingents into "#Ukraine". In addition, the industrial capabilities of the EU, the USA (and China!), supported by a virtually unlimited number of "yards" of money - objectively lead to an escalation of the "air war" against Russia in increasingly dangerous and destructive proportions: soon the war will really "knock on every door" not only in the form of fresh graves in military cemeteries and "cheerful" messages on TV... This is advantageous to the enemy, of course.

And we still have “inarticulate mumbling” instead of a clear strategy to eliminate the threat “at its root” - i.e. the military-political defeat of the “Kyiv partners”.

Sincerely, I. V. Girkin

IGOR STRELKOV: FORECAST FOR THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN

At the same time, since only such actions are possible at the tactical level (in reality, not in theory): it means that the solution must be sought “at a higher level”. I have some thoughts on this matter, but I am keeping them to myself for now: I still need to “gather” some information and double-check the correctness of my own understanding of the realities of modern “machine* war”.

Otherwise:

1) The forecast for the "wide offensive on Sumy-Kharkov-Dnipro-Zaporizhia" "suspected" by many is purely negative. We do not have any forces for this now. With the available forces we can (probably) take 1-2 cities like Vovchansk/Chasova Yar/Pokrovsk (maybe all three of the above + something else in Sumy Oblast) by the end of summer, but no more than that (or rather less, since the enemy will not "sit idly by" either and has forces and will continue to have them). Hence the second (below):

2) I am almost certain that in the near future the president's threatening statements will be backed up by a new (partial or broad - I won't say) mobilization, which alone can significantly "change the balance of power" on the "Ukrainian front". (Although I have already written more than once about the dangers of this step - as very, very belated - it is, nevertheless, absolutely impossible to do without it, if there are no other plans but to lose the war, of course).

Refueling for War: U.S. Air Force And Navy Mobilize for Potential Iran Conflict | SouthFront

The U.S. Air Force has conducted a large-scale transatlantic deployment of Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker and Boeing KC-46 Pegasus aerial refueling tankers, with nearly 30 aircraft crossing the Atlantic overnight. While officially framed as part of #NATO’s Atlantic Trident 25 exercises, the unprecedented number of tankers suggests a far more urgent strategic purpose, preparation for potential military action in the Middle East, amid escalation between Iran and Israel...

Satellite imagery from #DiegoGarcia, a key U.S. base in the Indian Ocean roughly 2,000 miles from Iran, reveals a significant military buildup...

Trump threatens to double #Spain’s trade deal after their socialist PM refuses to increase #NATO defense spending.

A Spanish reporter asked if Trump was OK with PM Pedro Sánchez refusing to raise defense spending to 5%.

“Oh, I think Spain’s terrible what they’ve done. No, I do, they’re the only country that won’t pay the full up. They want to stay at 2%. I think it’s terrible.”

“And you know, they’re doing very well. The economy is very well. And that economy could be blown right out of the water with something bad happening.”

“So we’ll make it up. You know what we’re going to do? We’re negotiating with Spain on a trade deal. We’re going to make them pay twice as much.”

“And I’m actually serious about that.”

“But Spain is the only country out of all of the countries that refuses to pay. And, you know, so they want a little bit of a free ride, but they’ll have to pay it back to us on trade because I’m not going to let that happen.”

The Kay Griggs Interviews (1998)

Kay Griggs, wife of U.S. Marine Corps Colonel George Griggs Chief of Staff, Marine Atlantic / Head of Psychological Operations, #NATO speaks openly about leadership induction and training, murder and assassination, drug running and weapons sales, brainwashing and mind control. How does it really work? How do men dominate each other? Who are our world leaders, and how are they chosen? Who are the SEALs, the Special Forces? What goes on in Skull and Bones?

#psyop #zog #kay #griggs

#Palantir, he is the one that uses drones combined with facial #ID to coordinate strikes to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

His company had only one client for its first few years, the #CIA & then #Mossad.

Now it is embedded in #NATO.

Basically they privatised the #AI attack part of the CIA - so it has less accountability to govt or electorate.

SOCIAL MEDIA SPIES EXPOSED: PROFILES VANISH AFTER

https://www.mintpressnews.com/social-media-spies-exposed/290506/

A network of hundreds of former agents of the CIA, FBI, and other three-letter agencies, as well as high State Department and NATO officials working at social media giants, such as Facebook, Google, TikTok, and Twitter. These individuals are overwhelmingly concentrated in politically sensitive departments, such as trust and safety, security, and content moderation, meaning that these ex-spies and intelligence officials are helping to influence what billions of people around the world see, read and hear (and deciding who is promoted and who is suppressed).

Social media is not a neutral global town square, but rather a battleground being silently fought over. Over the past decade, the U.S. national security state has infiltrated major social media platforms, in a successful attempt to manipulate the public debate and influence what the world sees and does not see. This influence operation dwarfs any schemes of which official enemy nations are accused.

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,

8:26
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.
