" Just recently, France sent over another 30,000 drones by the way. "

The drones will keep getting more sophisticated as the West has been using Ukraine as a test-bed. The will likely be autonomous and controlled by AI, a very deadly combination. Needless to say, this is prep work for Iran also, which wont stand a chance. Screaming Allu Akbar only gets you so far.

The Duran consistently assumes that Russia is ramping up its weapons production but the West is static. I have no doubt the Western woke governments would put protecting their individual nations or ramping up their national industrial base as a negative priority. However, they are motivated to destroy any nations with a remnant of national identity left. So, the West will study the tactics of Ukraine and will increase their weapons output until all vestiges of national identity have been destroyed.

Presenting: Russia's and Iran's long awaited military agreement. Drum roll please ....

" The agreement with Iran is different. Its article 3 provides for an obligation, if one of the parties is attacked, not to support the aggressor and to help resolve the conflict. "

The clown show continues.

Hint: Iran is being set up.

I couldn’t agree more. Past is prologue when it comes to Putin’s pledges. Pezeshkian should ponder Putin’s inaction in 2020 & 2023 in Armenia/Artsakh, and the recent debacle in Syria. Teheran is most definitely being teed up for collapse.

" The Kremlin’s position is that while individual NATO members may continue to send arms to Ukraine under bilateral security agreements, any such weapons should not be used against Russia or to recapture territory, said one of the people, who is familiar with Moscow’s preparations for possible negotiations. "

At this point, I dont know if I should SMH, LOL, cry, scream in indignation or just sigh calmly.

It was exactly this sentence that ruined my weekend. I wish I'd waited just two more days to read it. How obvious does Putin want to make his betrayal? On the other hand, it's probably still covert enough to make so many people believe he's on the side of the good guys.

Konstantin Malofeev was mentionned in this March of 2022 article of Thuletide's blog :

https://thuletide.wordpress.com/2022/03/31/are-western-dissidents-e-g-the-national-justice-party-of-therightstuff-biz-being-paid-to-shill-kremlin-propaganda/

"It would not surprise me one iota if some dissidents in the West are being paid to shill Russian propaganda. A good example is Charles Bausman, who owns the pro-Kremlin propaganda website ‘Russia Insider,’ which he founded in 2014 to defend the Russian invasion of the Crimean peninsula. In other words, he was shilling Kremlin war propaganda to gullible idiots in the West. Bausman is reportedly financed by Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who is sometimes called “Putin’s Soros”. Malofeev also funds Russian separatists in Ukraine and founded/funded Aleksandr Dugin’s thinktank ‘Katehon,’ which is dedicated to subverting gullible idiots in the West, and the television channel ‘Tsargrad,’ which hosts Dugin’s TV show . Alexander Borodai, the former prime minister of the Russian separatist Donetsk People’s Republic, worked as Malofeev’s public relations consultant ."

He also clearly dislikes Dugin to say the least :

https://thuletide.wordpress.com/2022/02/24/alt-right-and-identitarian-links-to-aleksandr-dugin-tldr-version/

"I’ve been talking about the weird Alt-Right and Identitarian links to Aleksandr Dugin for years and it seems that Charles Bausman may provide the missing link between the Alt-Right and the Kremlin. But, before we get into that, here’s some necessary context on Aleksandr Dugin, for those who aren’t familiar (taken from this article):

Dugin’s ideology can be summarized as Neo-Eurasianism combined with Third Worldism and thinly veiled anti-White hatred. Basically, he wants Russia to establish a Neo-USSR, which will span the entire Eurasian continent and be, in his words, the “empire of the end times.”

"1.1. Who is Aleksandr Dugin?

Dugin LARPs as an “academic” but he is almost certainly a spook working for GRU, the Russian equivalent of the CIA, which was originally founded by Trotsky’s deputy.

2. Introduction

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that:

Aleksandr Dugin is a satanic freak and almost certainly a spook (GRU/KGB agent).

The main nationalist coalition in the West, consisting of the Alt-Right, New Right,

and Identitarian Movement, has direct links to Aleksandr Dugin, and thus “Russian”

foreign intelligence (which works on behalf of the same rootless globalist oligarchs

as Western intelligence agencies)."

Make of that what you will, only place I know where you can find some of Dugin's articles in English are on The Occidental Observer :

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/author/alexander-dugin/

He was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in April 2024 ;

i dont think RI was getting any malofeev money. not enough to stay afloat anyway.

Its pretty obvious now that FSB actually did run some sort of psyop trying to market dugin and whatever to the alright but what these altright anti Russia watchdogs constantly miss is that dugin is a nobody in Russia. His importance was strictly limited to his role as orthodox trad ambassador to the west. When the proukrianian right winger veers off into warning about the dangers of duginist neo soviet eurasianism his analysis loses all relevance. As if the people running russia want to rebuild the USSR and destroy the west while their kids all live in the west, their money is in the west and their property is in the west.

Maybe theres truth in Malofeev giving the rebels in Donestk money but did you read the Mozgovoi series on the blog here? What was Russian money and support to the rebels conditioned on? It was conditioned on strictly observing the Minsk agreements ie not advancing any further into Ukraine and thus upsetting the Kremlins respected Western partners. So yeah the pro Ukrainian rightwingers ended up being right that FSB did indeed promote orthodox antifa values to the alright but the take that these proukrianians advance about the Kremlin actually being revanchist and anti Western is soooo wrong and flys in the face of all objective reality.

No I haven't yet read the two articles about Mozgovoi , I did read several of Rurik's articles where he mentions all the treasonous behavior of the Kremlin in Donbass/Donetsk, the only reason Malofeev's name clicked in my head is because I read Thuletide's article just yesterday (I had more than 1700 tabs in Firefox, I'm slowly closing them by reading or watching the videos, I'm down to 1200, it's gonna take a while, some are several years old, which is why I only read that 2022 article yesterday).

I don't know if Thuletide's pro-Ukraine, his articles don't seem to mention Ukraine at all if you search for "Ukraine", but i don't know the guy at all I just read a few of his articles and don't even remember how I found his blog to start with.

I'm not familiar enough with his work to make that call definitively to be honest, it's just when I hear a framing along the lines of "justifying Russias invasion of Crimea" I just assume a pro Ukrainian stance. Speaking very technically I suppose an invasion happened as Moscow sent reinforcements to the troops already located there against Kievs will. However there was nothing normally associated with a hostile invasion during the annexure of Crimea, no columns of desperate refugees, no explosions or baffles, not even any columns of smoke were caught on camera to my knowledge. In short being located in Crimea during Russias invasion was safer than say being located in downtown Chicago or Detroit where no invasion was going on technically. If anything Russias annexation of Crimea was more like the auschluss with NS Germany and Austria. But the invasion word is selected precisely because of its association with violence which was totally absent in reality.

FWI Shoigu personally tried to cock block the annexation.

I'm not really familiar with his writing either, I remember reading maybe a couple articles written by him some years back and a few others yesterday since I'm slowly closing those tabs one by one because it's become hilariously unmanageable to say the least, I've skimmed the comments he certainly doesn't seem hostile to the Russian people (or Slavs in general), but he does hate the Kremlin for sure, his reasons being different clearly.

His article about Dugin is quite damning, Dugin certainly seems to not be /ourguy/ to say the least, whether you're Russian, Eastern or Western European or White in general, it might be a good thing that he is a nobody in Russia. The "alt-right" has just been a spook/Jewish psy-op unfortunately, at least the big guys.

Wow, so there are even more people than me who live with 1000 open tabs.

Lol yeah, I think we are some kind of rare breed, you read an article who has tons of sources/links, you open them in other tabs, you know, "to read them later", you watch an interesting video and open 1,2 or 3 others related to it, "to watch them later", very quickly you find yourself in a terrible mess and you never will conceivably have the time to read or watch all of that, but if you're like me you keep those tabs open because you really want to, you know, eventually...

That's exactly how it works. For me, it has now taken on serious proportions. The 1000 tabs are spread over several windows. I also use a different browser to create some empty space again. Everything was fine at first. Until I wanted to research a topic again. And then I came across this substack. Now another 150 tabs have been added. There's so much information, but not enough time. But it gets worse: there's no one out there you can talk to about what you've read. The more you learn, the lonelier you become.

I've got maybe two or three people who I can talk about those subjects, but even them think it all goes too far and is schizobabble at some point and they have other things to do (they're not wrong to be honest), or at least they want to think it is. I'd want to be a normie and just don't care but that's far too late, always was to be honest.

Thuletide seems to be western ethnic nationalists who believe Dugin is a fraud. In that they warn westerners not to listen to him . I would not call them pro ukriane but they definitely are not typical Zanon pro russian .

Dugin does seem like he promotes critical race theory anti whiteness narratives

" Ukraine and Russia are holding limited talks in Qatar about rules to shield nuclear facilities from being targeted, the person familiar with the Kremlin’s preparations said. "

Which begs the question, Since Russia doesnt attack Ukie nuke sites what is it offering Ukraine in the deal ? Basic logic.

None of this really matters . Ukraine is going to rearm big time and try take back it's territory in the future. Pieces of paper mean nothing , we have already seen that. They already have their ballistic missiles under manufacture and tested. They are now leading the world in drone repurposing and are turning out 100,000 a month . Five years of that and getting their ballistics fitted with nuclear weapons and it will be back on again. The idea that Trump can just wave a magic wand and the Ukranians are going to buckle down to whatever deal is done is dumb. Ukraine is now fully blooded nation and it will do whatever is required to take back it's stolen territory . Eastern Europe and the Baltics and Nordic countries will continue to support them and are arming up as well. Although Russia will also be trying to rearm it is now quite clear that they are vulnerable and the stolen territories would easily be taken back by a coalition of EU counties who would not be fighting with one hand behind their backs next time. We know Putin's red lines mean nothing and also Putin might not be around next time either.

Trump is an idiot to think he can split Russia away from the new axis , the change is permanent now and that is the reality that Trump can't digest. If he lets it look like Russia has beaten NATO he will lose access to all the US trade routes and will have to assist Taiwan in a war with the CCP. Any signs of weakness now and the US will regret it for a very long time.

Just taking your comments, let me suggest a bright side. An independent Ukraine, conscious of its own identity and independently producing weapons is what the EU fears most: a strong, self-conscious nation. Is it the same for the Baltic and Nordic countries? Once a war has stopped and the country is reaping the benefits of a peaceful economy, it's not that easy to get a war started again.

Perhaps the best future strategy of Russia would be to encourage the independence and military strength of the neighboring countries. And also build up its own military and industrial production. This would turn a negotiated peace into a win-win and an aggressive war into a lose-lose.

" The marble-patterned, hardcover book embossed with gold Hebrew letters looks like any other religious commentary you’d find in an Orthodox Judaica bookstore – but reads like a rabbinic instruction manual outlining acceptable scenarios for killing non-Jewish babies, children and adults.

The prohibition ‘Thou Shalt Not Murder’ applies only ‘to a Jew who kills a Jew,’ write Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur of the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar. Non-Jews are ‘uncompassionate by nature’ and attacks on them ‘curb their evil inclination,’ while babies and children of Israel’s enemies may be killed since ‘it is clear that they will grow to harm us.’ "

He chose July 4, 1776, because on that day, FIVE planets came together in the sky to form a FIVE PLANET PLANETARY ECLIPSE. "

Yet " Whitey" is blamed. Typical Happy Merchant projection.

" This is a story of a rather unknown history of Zionism from before the theft & colonization of Palestine there was the colonization of 13 sugar colonies in the the Americas & Caribbean which brought about the sugar & slave trade and the birth of globalized capitalism. Join educational discussions by legit scholars and historians, both Black & Jewish professors who have discussed the 13 Sugar Colonies and the impact they played on the Black Holocaust. No matter how much they want to hide the history, there is no longer any debate. The evidence is overwhelming. "

Right from the start, before and after (((Columbus))), yids were very influential and very illegal in the Americas.

'Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean' is a quite interesting and informative book, showing that although a few were actual pirates, most were merchants who happily controlled this and other trades, even siphoning off about a third of the silver before it was sent to Spain, dominated early sugar production, created international commerce and banking based in Amsterdam, infiltrated Niew Amsterdam before it became New York and manipulated Cromwell and the buccaneers of Bermuda. Much more than a few 'pirates' could have accomplished. Early capital accumulation to finance their subsequent domination.

Excellent post. However they stole the concept of "modern banking" from the Templars and the early sugar trade could be considered the first international drug trade as sugar is addictive. Of course the merchants would be involved, Slimy bastards.

It has been said that the The Templars strong-armed their way into Jewish banking networks, which might explain how monks and soldiers came to front 'modern banking'.

The Brest-Litovsk Treaty--imposed on a militarily & economically prostrate Russia in early 1918--was the nascent RSFSR's only option other than allow the Kaiser an unimpeded march eastwards, reinforcing the already rapidly forming counterrevolutionary armies along the way. Lenin knew too that Wilhemine Germany was tottering, beset increasingly by labor strikes, abject hunger, and simmering discontent with these hardships, and with the plutocratic class within both the monarchy and economy profiteering off the people's penury. Besides; they had come to power promising an end to Russia's involvement in World War One, which they fulfilled.

By now, Donbass is 10x more important in the Russian public's minds than Kursk, therefore it's likely than the Kremlin won't go for a swap. They'll keep some of Donbass, declare victory, tell the public that the strategic objectives of the SMO have been achieved, and that the Polish nazi mercenary terrorists in Kursk are already shitting their pants and will inevitably be dealt with in time. That time may not come for years, but by then the public will be desensitized to the Kursk issue - they already are, to a large degree.

Listening to Trump as he signs Executive Orders in oval office. Question about Putin/Ukraine and Trump's answer: Putin should do a deal. Ukraine is bad for Russia, bad for its economy. 1,000,000 Russians killed. 700,000 Ukrainians. It should have taken a week--it's taken 3 years.

Seems like Trump's been reading Rurik..... :)
