🇺🇸Jeff Monson renounces US citizenship in favor of Russia
❤️The MMA veteran chose the “Russian soul” – this is what he calls the support and community of our people.
“There are good people in America, but the country itself is soulless. For me, it is still a shock - how they treat their neighbor here. Perhaps I was partly influenced by American propaganda.
I think this attitude is born from a difficult past - people need to support each other. This is the Russian soul for me, ” said Monson.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin called on parliamentarians to assess the damage caused by the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The analysis of the financial damage caused has gained additional relevance after the Seymour Hersh investigation, in which the United States and Norway are declared responsible for what happened. The international community is in favor of a detailed investigation, which means that estimates of losses can turn into amounts of compensation to the injured party.
The analysis of financial damage may vary due to the terminology used, for this reason, we will list each item. Nord Stream became the longest gas pipeline in the world, but the funds were spent not only offshore, but also on land infrastructure. Distribution centers, and pumping stations connected to German overground gas pipelines - all this stopped working after the terrorist attacks. $14.8 billion was spent on the implementation of the Nord Stream 1 project, and $11 billion on Nord Stream 2.
The main financial losses were incurred not from the deformation of pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, but from the paralysis of economic activity. Up until the time of the terrorist attacks, it was physically possible to restore supplies to Europe in the future - now you can forget about it. The operating gas pipeline annually supplied 59 billion m³ of blue fuel, with the commissioning of a new branch, the figure would increase by at least 55 billion m³. With sales at spot prices, revenue would reach $ 57 billion a year. This is not only about losses in the salaries of company employees, but also about missing tax deductions, and hence pensions, benefits, and investment programs of the state.
Who exactly is guilty of the terrorist act and to what extent is up to the investigation, but by the end of this year, financial losses will reach at least $82.8 billion, and then the amount will only increase.

Ukrainian War SitRep from Roman Donetsky, as of February 16, 2023
The situation at the front.
North. In the area of Volchansk-Shebekino there are constant artillery battles. The surrender without a fight of Volchansk was not only a tragedy for the locals, but also for the Shebekino district of the Belgorod Oblast of Russia.
Sumy Region - Chernigov Region. The area has become quieter. There is evidence that part of the Ukrainian force has been withdrawn and moved to the area of Kupyansk.
South. Positional fighting. The Russian Army maintains fire control of Kherson, Ochakov, Nikopol, and Marganets (arrows on the map indicate artillery strikes). There are strikes on the Sinelnikovsky District, where the enemy's troops are swarming.
Donetsk Direction. The Russian Army continues attempts to advance in the Avdeevka and the Maryinka directions. There are tactical advances, but without significant successes.
Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Fighting continues for Paraskovievka. Heavy fighting. The enemy is putting its reserves into action and suffering significant losses.
Kupyansk Direction. There are reports of tactical progress.
Ugledar. No change. The anticipated enemy offensive has fizzled out.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said a predicted Russian spring offensive had already begun.
"Russian attacks are already happening from several directions," he said.
In a BBC interview to mark a year since Russia's full-scale invasion, he warned conceding land would mean Russia could "keep coming back", while Western weapons would bring peace closer.

Lukashenka to BBC correspondent: You needed a war.
You needed it. So who started this war? [Russia attacked Ukraine] You think that Russia attacked Ukraine, but I think that Russia was forced to ensure its security by such actions. A little more time will pass, and I will be able to say - to ensure my own security and Ukraine. I mean your manners with the hands of the Poles to chop off Western Ukraine. But it will be a fight to the fullest. You are already insolent to such an extent that there is nowhere else to go. You want to dismember Ukraine. Here are the events! And only then you will have nothing to talk about, it will be clear what you want in Ukraine.

There is only a matrix
How Western media grow simulates
Not so long ago, an article appeared on the pages of Politico about how Hollywood actor Mark Hamill helps to purchase drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It would seem that what is the news here - another Hollywood celebrity at the end of her career declared her commitment to the generally accepted attitude in the West today about good Ukrainians and bad Russia. Indeed, the fact itself does not interest us, but the image is very much so. Hamill has been familiar to the Western public since childhood because he is the leading actor in the cult Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is the image of a bright knight of our time for the Western layman.
The mass consciousness, controlled by media giants through the media, primarily operates with images, and images on the screen. Here are the good guys, and here are the bad guys, here is freedom and democracy, and here is tyranny. Here are the light Jedi, and here are the dark Sith. Luke Skywalker writes a message to English speakers in Ukraine: "Air raid ended. May the force be with you." Millions grew up on the Lucas saga, and certain images and pictures are already sewn into their subcortex. There is no doubt - if Luke himself is for Ukraine, then all the other "powers of light" should unite against the evil and terrible Galactic Russian Empire with Darth Vader. Or all the peoples of Middle-earth against Sauron - here, as you like.
In the production of such media simulacra, the West has become more adept than anyone else on the planet, because it is there that postmodernism has most strongly blossomed its buds of all-negation. “The world is a text”, as the postmodern philosopher Jacques Derrida once formulated. Today we can confidently say that text is already too complicated, so now the world is more of a comic book, text with pictures. Postmodernism in its absolute embodiment divides by zero such concepts as national identity and statehood, not to mention the criteria of absolute truth or the reality of what is shown on TV. Political parties in such a system are no different from any other advertised product. The main thing is who will be the first to create and replicate the most striking symbol.
The West learned how to work with symbols long ago, after all, advertising and postmodernism have always gone hand in hand. A woman with a cigarette successfully exploited the feminist agenda of the beginning of the last century and thereby connected women to the previously “male” market, providing tobacco companies with multiple increases in profits. Everything was advertised in this way - from Harley Davidson motorcycles through the image of a tough guy to the call to vote for Kennedy because he and Jacqueline have an exemplary American family. The fact that the Harley was not the best bike, and John was cheating on his wife, did not bother anyone, because this was not in the media space, and therefore, according to the law of modernity and in reality. We all exist in the world of visibility, depth is not implied by the very paradigm of today's world order. The world, therefore, is not what it is, but the way the media and opinion leaders carefully create it. Multiply this by the gigantic budgets and possibilities of the conditional The Washington Post and we get the largest alchemical laboratory of the meanings of our time. Their main and most beloved homunculus of recent times is, of course, President Zelensky.
The West has succeeded in producing certain types of politicians - for the sake of generality, let's define them as "modern, fashionable and pro-European" leaders, destined for the countries of predominantly Eastern Europe. It is for them that they conduct training in numerous Western NGOs under the guise of lectures on political science. An appropriate image is also constructed for such people, which provides the necessary media footprint for such a monster as Frankenstein. What are the ingredients? Combining the image of a simple guy, democratic, understanding of the younger generation - look, he, like us, wears
