"Russia is on track to command the largest military on the continent and a defence industrial complex capable of generating substantial amounts of ammunition and materiel in support of large-scale combat operations.

Regardless of the outcome of the war in Ukraine, Russia will be larger, more lethal, and angrier with the West than when it invaded.”

US Army General Christopher G. Cavoli, Commander of US European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

BOOK REVIEW: INVISIBLE DOCTRINE: THE SECRET HISTORY OF NEOLIBERALISM

While neoliberalism is the economic and political ideology that dominates most of the Western world today, it is an ideology that is unknown to most American citizens. 

The purveyors of neoliberal ideology present themselves as objective and as being above ideology, which serves as a method of concealing the real underlying principles of neoliberalism, which are actually wildly unpopular with regular people...

Interesting article. Especially the criticism of the book, because it apparently offers no viable alternative and cheers such a baseless experiment as Rojava. But if only at least more people would understand the destructive and misanthropic ideology of neoliberalism.

Lavrov made Russia’s position very clear… A two state solution defined by the 1967 borders. If there is a peace summit in the Middle East, that will be Russia’s position even though Mearsheimer says a two state solution is not possible. we will see…

Bahrain's king visit to Moscow may seem insignificant to some, however, it was this same king who, back in 2016 held similar talks with Russia on Syria. During that time the King presented Putin with a symbolically named 'Sword of Victory' - marking a pivotal moment in Russo-Arab relations.

The rest is history. Expect more pivotal changes in the future. And, peace in the Middle East, inshaallah!

We are not planning to take Kharkov for now... but we will distribute the passports. And we will allocate a regional code for cars!
Residents of the liberated districts of the Kharkov region will receive Russian passports. This was announced to journalists by the head of the military-civil administration of the region, Vitaly Ganchev.
He recalled that residents of Donbass went through a two-stage procedure: first they received passports of the people's republics, and then they changed them to Russian ones. Kharkov residents will be relieved of such a hassle.
"Based on this experience, we decided that if people want to become Russian citizens, they should immediately get a Russian passport," Ganchev explained.
He also noted that school graduates will be able to receive certificates of our sample, and the regional motor transport code has already been assigned to the region: 188.
How can we not recall the recent statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin that we have no plans to take Kharkov? Some commentators then suggested that the head of state was talking about immediate plans, literally for a few days or weeks; others hypothesized that Putin was trolling the West, almost verbatim repeating numerous statements by local leaders that they had "no plans" to transfer tanks, fighter jets to Ukraine, or send their military there.
Well, we have no plans to take the city either! But we will definitely prepare car license plates and certificates for the kids. You never know how life will turn out. It's so unpredictable right now.
And in Nezalezhnaya, voices are already being heard claimingy that Kharkov is:
strategically unimportant;
economically unprofitable;
Ideologically incorrect;
is bad in terms of national composition.
Well, if "nezalezhnaya" no longer needs it, where to go: you'll have to take it. The great city and the Russian people should not be lost, indeed!

SMART MAN: the Georgian PM protects the country from a proxy war!

He is pro Georgia!

“Since the beginning of 2022, there has been serious interest in opening a second front in Georgia, which would weaken Russia’s position, but this would destroy our country. Such interest remains today.

The law On Transparency of Foreign Influence adopted by parliament, which has received so much attention throughout the Western world, is only a reason for demands for Georgia to open a second front with Russia.

In today's world there is a global war party that is not at all interested in the fate of Georgia and its only interest is in weakening Russia’s position.”

May 23, 1996, on his birthday, at the hands of the so-called Chechen terrorists. The "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" was killeduu by a Russian soldier, private of the Russian Border Troops, Evgeniy Rodionov.

On February 14, 1996, during combat duty, soldiers stopped an ambulance driven by Chechen brigadier general Ruslan Khairoev. During the inspection of the car, Evgeny Rodionov, along with three colleagues, Andrei Trusov, Alexander Zheleznov and Igor Yakovlev, were captured.

The terrorists beat the prisoners daily, tortured them and starved them to death. Chechen terrorists forced Evgeniy to renounce the Orthodox faith, take off his cross and convert to Islam, promising freedom for this.

Ruslan Khaikhoroev himself admitted to the murder:

"...He had a choice to stay alive. He could have changed his faith, but he did not want to take off the cross. He tried to escape."

Evgeniy did not betray his faith. On the hundredth day of captivity, Chechen Wahhabis brutally killed Evgeny and his comrades: they shot two, and cut off the head of Evgeny and another soldier

Evgeniy Rodionov’s mother later said that the Chechens asked for money to point to their son’s grave, after which she dug up his body with her own hands, and then looked for his head, since the Russian military leadership considered him a deserter. When they managed to convince him otherwise, they still did not take any action to search for him.

Evgeny Rodionov was awarded the "Order of Courage", posthumously.

MOSCOW, May 23 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that Moscow will retaliate with strikes on British targets if British weapons are used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory.
Zakharova told reporters that British targets "on Ukraine's territory and beyond its borders" could be hit in such a scenario.
She was repeating a warning that Moscow first issued earlier this month after British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said Ukraine had a right to use weapons provided by London to hit targets inside Russia.

Scott Ritter: US Threats to Greenlight Ukrainian Attacks on Russia Could Spill Out Into Nuclear War

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reportedly asked President Biden to formally greenlight Ukrainian strikes against targets deep inside Russia using US-provided long-range weaponry amid growing pressure from hawks in Washington. Sputnik asked seasoned international affairs observer Scott Ritter about the development's dangerous endgame.
