dead-shit-brains and stiff upper-lip.....

When the NATO-backed Nazi regime in Kiev is finally defeated, people like Ben Wallace will be answerable to war crimes prosecutions.

Britain’s top military minister Ben Wallace was in Kiev this week on a surprise visit– only days after the stunning news of Russian forces finally taking the city of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the same city being liberated by the Soviet Red Army from the Nazi Wehrmacht and their Ukrainian fascist collaborators.

The shockwaves from the defeat of the NATO-backed Kiev regime are shaking Western capitals, and none more so than in Washington and London, the two most prominent protagonists of the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

Ben Wallace, like his American counterpart, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, is up to his neck in pushing this dangerous proxy war.

The fall of Artyomovsk comes after nearly nine months of intense and grueling fighting, which is reckoned, conservatively, to have cost up to 30,000 Ukrainian military deaths. The defeat of NATO’s well-armed proxy army demolishes the relentless propaganda narrative in the Western media claiming Ukraine’s eventual success against Russia.

Wallace has been one of the most gung-ho Western politicians, predicting at the end of last year Ukraine’s victory against Russia.

Now, it’s a debacle akin to NATO’s defeat fiasco in Afghanistan. Questions will be asked: what of all the tens of billions worth of weapons that the West has plowed into Ukraine?

The blowback is going to be torrid for Western posturing about “defending Ukraine for as long as it takes”.

Hence, as a diversionary media necessity, we had U.S. President Joe Biden making the U-turn announcement at the weekend that Washington was giving the go-ahead for supplying the American-made F-16 fighter jet to Ukraine. We also then had the daring cross-border raid by NeoNazi militants from Ukraine on Russia’s Belgorod region, which appears to have been orchestrated with U.S. support.

And then there is Britain’s Minister of Defense [sic] Ben Wallace turning up in Kiev in an “unannounced visit” this week. The haste and impromptu nature of Wallace’s “drop-in” speaks of rattled nerves about the doom facing the NATO war plan. In Kiev, the British minister met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Oleksei Reznikov. Reznikov is part of the corrupt cabal around the puppet president Vladimir Zelensky who has been skimming off millions from the NATO weapons pipeline. It can be fairly surmised that the Kiev cabal is this week nervously looking for ratlines to other ships before their present racket finally sinks.

Wallace is a graduate of the Sandhurst war college and a former captain in the British army. He exudes that stereotypical stiff upper limit that the British establishment types are famed for.

The British minister is a hawkish figure who eats doves for breakfast with an unapologetic burp, and he has vociferously endorsed arming Ukraine to the teeth. The purpose of Wallace parachuting into Kiev, so to speak, was to inject some resolve into the NATO-backed regime following the Artyomovsk rout.

Wallace reportedly talked about the Storm Shadow cruise missiles that Britain delivered to Ukraine last week and which have been used to fire on civilian centers in Russia. Russian forces claim to have shot down several of the British munitions. No doubt, the British soldier-politician attempted to bolster the Kiev regime with promises of more “goodies”, as Reznikov previously called these missiles.

Also discussed was fast-tracking Ukraine’s membership of the NATO alliance. A summit in Vilnius in July is expected to be dominated by that issue. It is unlikely that the Kiev regime will gain admission any time soon given the raging war and corruption in the country. Nevertheless, Wallace’s NATO waffling in Kiev this week was intended as a sop to steady the regime. The British minister is tipped to take over the NATO role of Jens Stoltenberg who is due to step down as the alliance’s secretary-general in October. The British candidate for the NATO post has certainly displayed impressive belligerence and commitment to Western warmongering against Russia and China. Wallace’s words about NATO membership in Kiev this week seem to have been meant as a reassurance at a shaky moment for the regime.

Still, all the same, there is a strong sense that Washington and London’s strategic efforts are floundering in Ukraine. Russia is not collapsing from the West’s economic warfare and indeed it seems to be faring robustly from soaring trade with China and the rest of the world. On the military front, the breakthrough at Artyomovsk by Russian forces could be a pivotal turn in the 15-month war. The financial and military drain for the United States and its Western allies is unsustainable.

This war should never have happened. It could have been avoided if the U.S., Britain, NATO and the European Union had instead engaged with Russia in the first instance to resolve security concerns through politics and diplomacy. But the West arrogantly refused to engage, and the result was the conflict in Ukraine.

The regime that Washington and London armed to the teeth is showing its true colors of rampant corruption and Nazi terrorism. The bombed-out shell of a city that Artyomovsk currently is was caused by the NATO proxies using civilian centers as military cover in the same fiendish way that they did in the now-liberated Black Sea port city of Mariupol. Zelensky at the G7 summit in Japan last weekend even had the mindlessness to make a comparison with Hiroshima and he blamed Russia for the destruction. It was NATO proxies, Zelensky’s foot soldiers, who pulled the city down by turning apartments into garrisons, using civilians as human shields. As Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova quipped in response to Zelensky’s disgusting distortion: if Artyomovsk and Hiroshima are comparable, it is because both destructions were authored by Washington.

A year after being taken by Russian forces, Mariupol has returned to peace and prosperity with the construction of whole new blocks of apartments and other civic buildings. Artyomovsk will likewise recover.

When the NATO-backed Nazi regime in Kiev is finally defeated, people like Ben Wallace will be answerable to war crimes prosecutions. When the judge’s gavel slams down, there might just be a quiver in that stiff upper lip.

depravity.....

The oil and gas scam, like the whole war and weapons scam, and the charade of the West “defending Ukrainian democracy”, will be the undoing of the Kiev regime.

A report in the Washington Post this week (inadvertently) highlights the incorrigible corruption and unscrupulous nature of the Kiev regime. The Nazi-loving regime is not only doomed by its own depravity. Its toxic sting may well take its Western backers down with it.

The Post article by David L Stern was headlined: “Despite war, Ukraine allows Russian oil and gas to cross its territory”.

Yes, that’s right, the regime that has been hectoring the rest of the world to stop buying Russian energy is continuing to milk its transit business.

Not only that, but the Ukrainian cabal headed by a so-called president, Vladimir Zelensky, has the audacity to demand that all other transit routes for Russian oil and gas to Europe be shut down. The Nord Stream pipeline under the Baltic Sea to Germany was covertly blown by the United States last September – much to the delight of Kiev. While a southern European route known as Turk Stream via Turkey to the Balkans is being targeted for crippling sanctions by the Kiev regime and its American backers.

The blatant objective here is to give Ukraine a privileged role as the sole transit route for Russian energy. And that means the Kiev regime corners a market in services from which it can earn billions of dollars a year. If that sounds a bit like the sordid business of pimping that’s because it pretty much is.

Historically, the Ukrainian territory was the dominant gas hub for Russian oil and gas reaching Europe, covering as much as 80 percent of total supplies. Pipelines crisscross the Ukrainian steppes. For various legitimate reasons, Moscow has long wanted to diversify its supply routes to the European market. Hence the construction of the Nord Stream and South Stream routes. One of Russia’s reasons was the instability and corruption of the Kiev regime that seized power in 2014 through a CIA-backed coup. That new anti-Russian junta not only glorified the past Nazi genocide against Russians, Poles, Jews, and others, but it also felt entitled to tap Russia’s vast oil and gas supplies en route to Europe.

Yet, the Western corporate media/propaganda services peddle the NATO distortion that Russia is guilty of using “energy as a weapon”. The reality is the Russians simply and rightly wanted to protect their trade and resources from the Banderite Bandits by diversifying away from this territory.

The geoeconomics of energy trade is a crucial factor in the current war in Ukraine, which is being fueled and escalated by NATO. The Kiev regime wanted to have a monopoly on transit routes and the United States wanted to knock out Russia as a competitor for energy exports to the lucrative European Union market of 500 million consumers.

The bitter and tragic irony is that Europe has been brought to its knees by this giant imperial scam. Partly because of elitist misleaders whose allegiance is to transatlantic imperialism and who are often imbued with visceral Russophobia. Fascism and Nazism lurk in the dark corridors of European power. See our recent interview.

This week, Germany’s economy – the driver of the European Union – officially went into recession largely because of soaring energy prices. The American overlords are laughing all the way to the bank. Washington has succeeded neatly in sacrificing Europe for its own selfish interests by selling expensive fuel and unprecedented volumes of weapons. (Ordinary Americans are as much a victim of the imperial vice as their European counterparts.)

All the while, the American rulers and their puppet regime in Kiev demand that Europe imposes ever-more self-defeating sanctions against Russia – sanctions that are not actually weakening Russia but rather are only rebounding like a wrecking ball on European economies.

Washington’s transatlantic flunkies like Ursula von der Leyen, Charles Michel, Josep Borrell and Jens Stoltenberg sermonize about “cutting off finances for the Russian war machine”. Yet, here we have the supposed Ukrainian victim of Russian oppression doing business as usual. If Kiev had any principles (admittedly a ridiculous postulate), it would close down the oil and gas pipelines. But, no, the money is too irresistible for the corrupt regime.

For its part, Moscow would argue that it continues to supply oil and gas across Ukraine because it has contractual obligations to European states, such as Hungary, that pre-date the beginning of the conflict in February 2022.

The aforementioned Washington Post article anticipates the anomaly of the Western and Kiev narrative claiming “unprovoked aggression” by Russia while continuing to do business as usual. The newspaper admits the “bizarre optics”. But it displays contorted mental gymnastics to obscure the glaring and damning contradiction.

“But as surreal as it might seem,” the Post apologizes, “Ukraine insists that it has virtually no choice but to maintain its own commercial deals and has lobbied to preserve them, arguing that they provide some leverage over the Kremlin and help constrain where the Russian military carries out airstrikes.”

The more straightforward explanation is that the Kiev regime is an über grifter.

Zelensky and his cronies are even fingered by U.S. intelligence for having skimmed off at least $400 million from the $65 billion in military aid that has been plied over the past year courtesy of Western taxpayers. Zelensky is the embodiment of a Western psy-ops cut-out. The former comedian and actor is the face of a huge global racket in arms-dealing that profits the Western capitalist military-industrial complex while at the same time recklessly pushing the world towards an all-out war between nuclear powers.

Zelensky, the comedian-conman (billed as “president”), has managed to hoodwink Hollywood celebs, parliaments, prime ministers, presidents, royals and even the Vicar of Rome, as our columnist Declan Hayes critiqued in recent articles this week and last week. His video commercials incessantly pleading for more money and arms and his “GI Joe” act in military fatigues from central casting are becoming as tedious as they are threadbare.

As our columnist Declan Hayes points out too, Zelensky is only one of a whole host of Western politician-parasites who are exploiting and feeding off the public for their corporate masters. Almost every Western political leader in office today is a con artist who betrays democratic principles.

The Kiev regime has shown its true dirty colors in manifold ways. The persecution of the Orthodox Church, the renaming of streets to honor Nazi collaborators, the shuttering of opposition media and political parties in Ukraine, the unabashed calls by senior representatives for the killing of Russian leaders and extermination of ordinary Russian citizens… the list of profanity goes on.

Millions of Ukrainians have fled their country and are being put up rent-free across Europe not because of alleged “Russian aggression” but rather to escape the corruption of the Kiev regime – a regime that the American and European media declare to be “democratic” and worthy of hundreds of billions of dollars and euros in subsidies to prop up.

The United States and its imperial “Ukrainian project” have done immense damage to Europe as well as putting world security at grave risk.

The oil and gas scam, like the whole war and weapons scam, and the charade of the West “defending Ukrainian democracy”, will be the undoing of the Kiev regime. It might even be the eventual undoing of the Western regimes that have imposed this Kiev crime syndicate on the whole world.

Aesop’s fable of the frog and scorpion seems an apt metaphor for the bloated West and its incorrigibly nasty Kiev grifter.

"INTERVIEW: In the run-up to the Ukraine war the US refused to negotiate with Vladimir Putin over legitimate security issues, Bryce Greene points out

 

MEANWHILE:

The Russian airstrikes were the first to target Greater Idlib since December 3, when several positions of HTS in the town of Kabani in the northern Lattakia countryside were hit.

In the last few months, HTS and its allies violated the ceasefire in Greater Idlib, which was brokered by Russia and Turkey more than three years ago, hundreds of times, launching direct and indirect fire attacks as well as raids from the region on a regular basis.

A field commander of HTS was killed a just day earlier, on May 25, near Kabani as a result of retaliatory artillery fire by the SAA.

The recent escalation by HTS in Greater Idlib is an attempt to sabotage the ongoing Turkish-Syrian normalization process, which is sponsored by both Russia and Iran. To this day, Ankara maintains a large military presence in the region. The terrorist group fears that a deal with Damascus could lead to a Turkish withdrawal.

The Russian airstrikes on Greater Idlib are likely meant to deter HTS in order to stabilize Greater Idlib and reinforce the ceasefire.

western bad deed.....

By Tyler Durden

The Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which is centered out of Ramstein Air Base, is an alliance of 54 countries supporting Ukraine militarily against Russia.

In a new press briefing marking the 12th meeting of the group, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed the total tally of funds and military aid pumped into Kiev. “In total, the Contact Group has committed nearly $65 billion in security assistance,” while stressing the Western allies are “as united as ever.” This total figure is separate from the Washington overall commitment as far as Ukraine aid goes, which is even larger.

This already huge figure is about to leap significantly higher, given that as Austin said, “And, last week, President Biden announced that the United States will support a joint effort with our allies and partners to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation aircraft, including F-16s. We hope this training will begin in the coming weeks.”

 

The Pentagon chief then thanked Denmark and the Netherlands for this week stepping up to lead European coalition in providing F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots. The program is expected to take multiple months to up to a year or more.

“In the coming weeks, my Dutch and Danish counterparts will work with the United States and other allies to develop a training framework,” Austin said. “Norway, Belgium, Portugal and Poland have already offered to contribute to training, and we expect more countries to join this important initiative soon.”

Austin further emphasized that the United States is “committed to standing with Ukraine for the long haul.” He also announced a new commitment to provide Kiev with “additional air-defense systems and munitions” which will be “crucial” for “protecting Ukraine’s skies and civilian infrastructure from Russia’s assault.”

Additionally, US Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley explained that F-16’s won’t act as a “magic weapon” against the superior armed Russian air force:

“The Russians have 1,000 fourth-generation fighters… If you’re gonna contest Russia in the air, you’re gonna need a substantial amount of fourth and fifth generation fighters, so if you look at the cost curve and do the analysis, the smartest thing to have done is exactly what we did do, which is provide a significant amount of integrated air defenses to cover the battlespace and deny the Russians the airspace.”

He previewed that a sustained program will run into the billions more….

“So, you’re talking about $2 billion for 10 aircraft,” he said. “The Russians have thousands of fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. So, if you’re going to contest Russia in the air, you’re going to need a substantial amount of fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. If you look at the cost curve and do the analysis, the smartest thing to have done is exactly what we did do, which is provide a significant amount of integrated air defense to cover the battlespace and deny the Russians the airspace. And that is exactly what happened.” 

For the future, F-16s have a role, the general said. But it is “going to take a considerable length of time to build up an air force that’s the size and scope and scale that’ll be necessary.” 

Already, some of these same Pentagon officials predicted the war will drag on for “years.” On Friday, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev was quoted in Russian media as saying the war will last “decades, probably.”
