Medvedev:
“Yesterday, the President of Russia for the first time allowed the possibility of sending our weapons to regions that are at war with the states supplying weapons to Ukraine (or more precisely, using these weapons against our country). In other words, to forces in conflict with America and NATO countries.
This is a significant change in our foreign policy. The way the Americans and their European lapdogs think is: we have the right to transfer any weapons to Ukraine (which is the enemy of our country), but other countries cannot help Russia. In other words, we will destroy you by all possible means, but no one is allowed to supply Russians with weapons/equipment/other assets to defend the country.
Now, let the USA and their allies feel the direct use of Russian weapons by third parties. These parties or regions are intentionally not named, but they can be anyone who considers the USA and its allies their enemies, regardless of their political beliefs and international recognition. Their enemy is the USA, which makes them our friends.
Let the use of Russian weapons by these unnamed “regions” be as destructive as possible for their and our opponents. And let the “sensitive objects of the states supplying weapons to Kyiv” burn in hellfire, along with those who manage them.
And we will rejoice in their successful strikes with our weapons against our common enemies!”

France made a very correct decision not to invite any representatives of Putin’s Russia to the D-Day anniversary ceremony today.
The blood-soaked shores of Normandy have no place for those who serve the regime that wages the largest war of aggression in Europe since the time of Adolf Hitler, who unleashed an unprecedented propaganda spree nurturing the cult of war, revanchism, imperial superiority, of territorial grabs and hatred — as well as for those who shamelessly parasite on the memory of World War II and pervert it for the sake of their endless lust for absolute power over enslaved nations.
If you know life in Russia and many post-Soviet countries, you know how many decades the Kremlin propagandists have been openly spitting on the Allied war effort in WWII and particularly the Allied landing on D-Day, pretending it never happened.
Any fascist Russian official setting his or her feet on those beaches today would be an insult to all those who were drowning in those blood-red waters 80 years ago to combat the things that Putin’s Russia represents today.
oooooo
This post, from an unapologetic supporter of the Nazi Azov Regiment, is the greatest insult to the memory of those brave American, British, French, and Canadian troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago today. They killed the Nazi allies of your Banderist forefathers. And those men were allied with the brave Soviet Army that was slaughtering the Nazi horde in the East, and still slaughters them today. You and your ilk should never be allowed anywhere close to the blood-soaked soil of the battlefields where the soldiers of the Great Alliance fought and killed Nazis like you.

D-Day you say? Are you sure?
oooooo
80 years ago today, Allied forces from the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Canada stormed the beaches at Normandy. This attack initiated Operation Overlord, the invasion of France. On D-Day, Allied forces suffered more than 15,000 casualties, including some 4,500 killed. By the time Overlord was finished, on August 30, this number would grow, with some 226,000 wounded and 55,000 killed. But the Allies had liberated France, and in the process captured 200,000 German troops, and killed or wounded another 200,000.
One of the untold stories about Operation Overlord is the role played by the Soviet Army in securing the Allied victory. Two major Soviet offensives were launched in support of Operation Overlord, designed to pin down German forces on the Eastern Front, where more than 60% of German troops were fighting), preventing the Germans from diverting forces to reinforce their troops in France. These two offensives—Bagration and Lvov-Sandomeirz—together killed 520,000 German troops, wounding another 300,000, while capturing more than 192,000, for a total of more than 1 million German casualties.
But the loss to the Soviets was grievous: nearly 250,000 dead, and another 800,000 wounded.
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the battle that began the campaign that liberated France and, ultimately, helped bring about the defeat of Nazi Germany.
But we must never forget the role the Soviet Army played in making this victory, and indeed the victory over Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, possible. Without the sacrifice of the Soviet Army, the Allie’s invasion of France would have proven to be a much more costly campaign.
Which is why, on this anniversary, the failure of the successors to the great alliance that defeated Nazi Germany to invite representatives of the Russian Federation to mark this solemn occasion is particularly egregious.
The cemeteries that contain the remains of those American soldiers who gave their lives in the cause of freedom 80 years ago would be much larger than they already are without the similar massive sacrifice of life by the Russian people we once called friend and ally.

No one took responsibility for the Ukrainian Maidan and its consequences, said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. According to him, taking into account the experience of Kyiv, Tbilisi will not allow “Maidan and Ukrainization.”
The prime minister also noted that Ukraine “is almost destroyed, and its economy is in a catastrophic situation.”
“We are constantly reminded of the Maidan, and I also want to remind everyone of what the Maidan brought to Ukraine. Then Ukrainian authorities were appointed from the outside without any responsibility for subsequent actions,” Kobakhidze added.

well you know I was looking at the death
0:03
of Ibraham RI the president and in the
0:07
in the light of the killing or
0:09
assassination of kasum
0:11
solmani who was the head of the irgc
0:14
second most powerful figure in
0:17
Iran and you know the circumstances are
0:20
the same although I can’t be sure that
0:22
an assassination took place here the
0:24
circumstance was that you know Donald
0:27
Trump refused to
0:30
uh was was was as much of a kind of
0:35
stooge of Netanyahu as he was he wasn’t
0:38
going to give Netanyahu what he wanted
0:41
which is for the US to engage directly
0:42
in a regional war with Iran on behalf of
0:44
Israel that’s netanyahu’s Ultimate Dream
0:47
it’s his his life’s work is to get the
0:51
US to attack Iran on behalf of Israel
0:54
because he recognizes that there is no
0:56
resistance without Iran to Zionism right
1:00
and Israel’s
1:03
entire uh you know expansionist ambition
1:07
can be realized without
1:09
Iran so solmani was
1:14
killed through uh after a long campaign
1:17
of Netanyahu lobbying and
1:20
manipulating uh mainly through Mike
1:23
Pompeo former CIA director who became
1:25
Secretary of State until they could
1:27
finally convince Trump to do it they
1:29
killed him on his way to a peace
1:31
conference with
1:33
uh a peace conference in Iraq with Saudi
1:37
Arabia which was also very threatening I
1:40
think the whole idea of Ira of Iran and
1:43
the sa and the Saudis coming together
1:45
maybe working together through bricks uh
1:47
would be
1:49
deeply deeply damaging to the whole
1:52
Western divide and conquer
1:54
strategy they killed him
1:56
RI was killed following
2:00
this exchange between Iran and Israel in
2:02
which Israel attacked Iran’s Consulate
2:05
in Syria in Damascus an attack on
2:07
Sovereign Iranian territory uh Brazen
2:11
something we’ve never seen before more
2:13
Brazen than the US attack on the Chinese
2:15
Embassy in
2:16
belgrad and they were trying to draw the
2:19
US in and what did the Biden
2:21
Administration do they directly told
2:23
Israel we’re going to send the Patriot
2:25
batteries we’re going to get the
2:26
jordanians to help take them take down
2:28
the Iranian uh inevitable Counterattack
2:31
and they did then they told Israel take
2:33
the W take the win but we’re not going
2:36
to respond and attack Iran and then
2:39
suddenly on a helicopter containing not
2:42
just RI but also the foreign minister
2:46
and top religious figures it goes down
2:49
the other two helicopters
2:51
land uh the political conditions are the
2:55
same
2:57
so the question is
3:00
we do have the question is how does the
3:02
ruling faction in the US which controls
3:05
the White House respond to the constant
3:07
Israeli push to provoke the us into
3:11
attacking Iran an attack which I think
3:14
violates contravenes US national
3:17
interests and the US does have national
3:20
interests which diverge strongly from
3:23
Israel’s I
3:25
think on
3:27
the generally US national interest
3:29
diverge from Israel’s at this point in
3:32
history um and the Biden Administration
3:35
and the Trump Administration are
3:36
slightly different there I think while
3:39
both would enable a genocide and be
3:42
happy to uh cast the Palestinians into
3:44
the Dustbin of history or the gas
3:47
chamber of History whatever it is with
3:49
this uh full this live streamed
3:52
Holocaust we’re
3:53
witnessing uh and they would maybe
3:56
differ in their rhetoric about the
3:58
Palestinians the the Democratic faction
4:01
wants to make a deal with a kind of
4:04
reformist authority in
4:06
Iran that would be similar in their
4:08
minds to the camp David deal with Egypt
4:12
and they would slowly domesticate Iran
4:14
and bring them in but also allow Iran to
4:17
have an economy and to be sort of a
4:20
mid-level power maybe sometime at some
4:22
point in the future it could be kind of
4:24
like turkey um but the Republicans
4:27
particularly Trump are under under the
4:30
influence of a much more vitriolic rabid
4:34
Zionist force uh led by the Adon family
4:38
Sheldon Adon who said that he wished
4:42
that the US would drop a nuclear weapon
4:44
on Iran uh who’s dead but his wife runs
4:46
his fortune it’s a cutout for Israeli
4:49
intelligence Adelson and Netanyahu are
4:52
the same thing and they have full
4:54
control over Trump
4:56
Incorporated so I think uh until
5:00
no until next
5:02
January we’re going to see some
5:04
resistance by
5:06
Washington towards getting directly
5:09
involved with Iran I mean another thing
5:12
we can look at is the sort of flotilla
5:14
that the Biden Administration sent USS
5:17
Eisenhower an aircraft carrier as well
5:20
as uh destroyers and Cruiser class ships
5:23
to the Mediterranean after October 7th
5:26
as a message to Hezbollah that was their
5:29
attempt to kind of reassure Israel and
5:31
tell them hey we’re not gonna let Iran
5:33
or attack you and we’re gonna make sure
5:36
Hezbollah doesn’t overrun you but it was
5:39
also a way of saying that’s as far as
5:40
we’re going to go take it or leave it
5:44
um so that’s my that’s my view on and I
5:48
could I could be proven
5:50
wrong but I would expect as long as
5:53
Biden’s in
5:54
there many more provocations to come
5:56
between now and November particularly
5:59
possibly an October surprise on behalf
6:02
of trump uh Netanyahu certainly wants
6:05
Trump in
6:06
there and I think we’ll see provocations
6:10
in the United States something I’m
6:12
incredibly afraid of is a kind of
6:15
anti-Semitic false flag attack or just
6:18
an ant an actual anti-semitic lone wolf
6:21
attack uh which is inspired by all of
6:24
the violence that Israel is committing
6:25
and the images of it that are spreading
6:27
like wildfire across the internet
6:31
well the Israelis have long prodded or
6:35
attempted to prod the United States
6:37
going all the way back to the Bush
6:38
Administration into a war with Iran um
6:41
and remember that the Israel Lobby was
6:43
fundamental to pushing the United States
6:45
into a war with Iraq uh all of these
6:48
neocons wolfa witz Pearl Lewis scooter
6:50
Libby they were also extremely close to
6:53
the Zionist Lobby so uh it’s it’s a very
6:57
foolish dangerous provocation uh I think
7:00
the restraint has been shown not by
7:03
Israel of course uh but or even the
7:05
United States which is deployed uh
7:08
warships to the Persian Gulf but by Iran
7:11
and by Hezbollah hezb does not want a
7:14
repeat of 1982 in Lebanon where West beu
7:18
was flattened by the Israeli Air Force
7:20
uh Iran is very wary about getting into
7:24
uh a direct conflict they will do it
7:26
through proxies like through hezb um so
7:29
I think that’s where the restraint has
7:31
come from however uh Israel keeps
7:34
pushing uh and baiting Iran provoking
7:37
Iran to respond they are going to have
7:40
to respond somehow uh you know how
7:42
calibrated that response will be will
7:45
determine uh whether we escalate the
7:47
conflict or not but I would say that
7:49
certainly since October 7th hasbalah and
7:52
Iran have thrown shown incredible
7:55
restraint the the act the real acts of
7:57
resistance have come as I said before
7:59
from Yemen uh almost solely from Yemen
8:02
yes it’s true that hbal has shelled the
8:06
northern part of Israel and I think
8:08
880,000 Israelis have had to move and
8:10
you know a few people have been killed
8:12
but given the capacity that hbal
8:14
militarily has uh they have shown
8:16
tremendous
8:18
restraint there are some including uh
8:22
not as much military experts like I’m
8:24
thinking of people like Norman felstein
8:26
who says that the combined power of
8:30
Hezbollah Iran uh and and other allies
8:34
it has in the region would would would
8:36
be something that Israel Israeli Army
8:39
cannot match uh do you buy that
8:44
argument well I I don’t I think that any
8:47
conflict uh between Israel and Iran
8:50
would be in the air I don’t see Iranian
8:52
troops storming through Syria to attack
8:55
Israel um so as long as it is
8:58
essentially an aerial conflict no I
9:00
would
9:00
disagree um and I don’t see hasbalah
9:03
storming over the northern border of
9:05
Israel into Israel either so I think
9:07
what we’re talking about is perhaps a
9:09
ground incursion by Israel into Southern
9:12
Lebanon um but I I don’t see this as a a
9:17
war actually between armies I don’t I’m
9:19
not I don’t logistically I’m not sure
9:21
how that would work um and number one
9:24
number two I don’t think they want it so
9:26
I’m not sure I agree with that analysis
9:28
because if Israel supplied by I mean
9:31
yeah Israel supplied by the United
9:32
States as we’ve seen in Gaza can sustain
9:35
over over the long period a a pretty
9:38
formidable air
9:43
campaign I want to move to other areas
9:46
but uh just a uh final question on on on
9:50
the Middle East we had Ambassador chess
9:52
Freeman and and he argued that as you
9:55
just said uh that the American
9:58
involvement in in Iraq was uh
10:00
significantly instigated by by uh Israel
10:05
thinking about you have been covering
10:07
the Middle East for a long time thinking
10:08
about American involvement in the region
10:11
and the instability it has created all
10:14
over uh is it fair to blame just Israel
10:19
uh uh when it comes to the to the
10:21
American involvement in the
10:23
region no I I don’t think I I think
10:26
Israel and the United States were full
10:27
Partners in these debacles
10:30
but they were full Partners uh and we
10:33
had uh Israel I mean there’s all sorts
10:35
of Fingerprints of Israel in Iraq
10:37
including Abu gra uh so uh yeah I’m I’m
10:43
not saying that Israel was the sole
10:45
engine for uh what happened in Iraq but
10:49
it was a an important and a primary
10:51
player in terms of pushing the United
10:54
States into the war remember in we’re
10:56
talking about the first uh Iraq war the
10:58
invasion of Iraq there was Heavy
11:01
opposition within the state department
11:04
the CIA even within the military the
11:06
arabist were not behind this war and so
11:09
what you had is Dick Cheney Secretary of
11:12
Defense creating his own kind of Rogue
11:16
in unit cook intelligence to pass it on
11:19
to the White House and Israel was deeply
11:21
involved in that that that’s a little
11:24
caveat that I think a lot of people miss
11:26
that the establishment was not
11:28
supportive of the war and I know that
11:30
because I was brought to these
11:32
institutions to speak against the war
11:35
including the state department at West
11:37
Point uh you know uh and they knew what
11:40
I was going to say they couldn’t say it
11:42
but they knew what I was going to say uh
11:44
and uh and Israel was uh deeply involved
11:48
in in all of that that subterfuge those
11:50
lies about weapons of mass
11:53
destruction you know the whole fantasy
11:55
of first Baghdad and then tan uh is
11:59
Israel was deeply involved in all of
12:00
that and and and and The Architects of
12:03
the war had very very close links to
12:06
Israel and the Zion
12:08
slavi it is said that somewhere in the
12:10
middle of the 1990s uh uh during the
12:14
Clinton Administration there was a shift
12:15
in American foreign policy in the Middle
12:17
East from balancing Iran and Iraq to
12:21
double containment uh of of Iran and
12:24
Iraq and and and it is said that Israel
12:26
was uh very significant ific in in in
12:30
pushing forward this shift in American
12:32
policy in the region yeah that’s correct
12:35
and and of course it ended
12:38
up it ended up being completely
12:40
counterproductive because what it did is
12:42
solidify a Shiite alliance between
12:45
Baghdad and tan and so the balance is
12:48
gone uh in many ways Iran won the war uh
12:52
quite literally because we forget that
12:54
with Isis which is Sunni when they rose
12:57
up uh they uh were militarily
13:02
increasingly dominant and you had all
13:04
sorts of Iranian militias and probably
13:07
Iranian uh revolutionary uh guard forces
13:12
crossing the border there was a tacid
13:14
Alliance at a certain point between the
13:16
United States and Iran to defeat Isis
13:19
and the caliphate and and Iran played a
13:21
significant part of that and the and and
13:23
the Americans would would I mean
13:25
visually even see Iranian units and not
13:28
fire on them because because they were
13:30
they were in tacid Alliance so H and and
13:33
and what we saw is because of course
13:35
before under Saddam Hussein the Sunni
13:38
minority dominated Iraq and was very
13:41
pro-western and that has changed that
13:44
policy shift towards double containment
13:47
uh was primarily because of Israel’s
13:51
instigation yes I think that’s the case
13:53
I was at the defense department at the
13:56
time this policy was suddenly imposed on
14:00
us uh by a political appointee Martin
14:03
indic actually uh who had been an
14:05
Israeli Citizen and was naturalized one
14:08
day before taking up his
14:10
responsibilities in the National
14:12
Security Council staff uh it was very
14:15
hard for me or others in the region to
14:17
see what benefit we would get from a
14:20
policy that is fatiguing
14:24
expensive um and and and consumes a lot
14:27
of resources
14:29
um we had a policy of offshore
14:32
balancing which relied on balancing Iran
14:35
and with other Arab countries including
14:38
Iraq um and which worked very well the
14:41
the Gulf War uh coincided pretty much
14:44
with the end of the Iran Iraq faceof and
14:48
there was really no reason to choose to
14:52
to um uh uh be in opposition to both
14:56
rather than to continue to use their
14:59
enem to uh maintain balance but both
15:03
were enemies of Israel and therefore one
15:08
has to
15:09
assume uh that this was contrived for
15:12
the benefit of Israel um I don’t see
15:14
what benefit it brought to us hi my name
15:18
