West pushing Russia beyond ‘red line’ – Putin
from RT:
The continued support for Ukraine is aimed at inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Moscow, the president has said
The West’s support for Ukraine is pushing Russia to the point where it cannot help but retaliate, President Vladimir Putin has said, while warning the US against deploying medium-range missiles.
Speaking at a meeting of top Russian Defense Ministry officials on Monday, Putin accused the US of seeking “to weaken our country and inflict a strategic defeat” on Moscow by continuing “to pump a de facto illegitimate ruling regime in Kiev with weapons and money, sending mercenaries and military advisers, thereby encouraging further escalation of the conflict.”
World Bank Slush Funds for Ukraine – Another $20 Billion Wired from US
by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
The United States Treasury Department expedited a $20 billion aid package to Ukraine as part of the 50 billion G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans initiative. The establishment wants to offload these funds as quickly as possible to deter Donald Trump from reversing course and withholding aid. The funds were sent to the questionable World Bank and derived from frozen Russian assets.
Will the funds be used for humanitarian aid? No one knows. Joe Biden would have had to call upon Congress to agree to send military aid, although he initially wanted to split the $20 BILLION down the line and devote half to economic aid and the other half to the military. Since there are absolutely no checks or balances on these funds, his administration simply marked it all as economic aid and wired it to the World Bank.

Uranium Wars
by Jim Rickards, Daily Reckoning:
Uranium production is best understood as an industry played out on a geopolitical chessboard.
Enriched uranium is used to fuel nuclear reactors. The degree of enrichment is not high. Natural uranium (sometimes called yellowcake) has about 0.7% U-235 isotope. This is enriched to 3% to 5% for use in most reactors (called low-enriched uranium or LEU). Some specialized reactors require uranium enriched to 20% U-235 isotope, but those are rare.
This is why the Neocon Zionists hate Assad so much!
from State Of The Nation:
SOTN Editor’s Note: No one has ever seen a global smear campaign like the one currently being conducted against President Bashar al-Assad.
Exactly why are the Zio-Anglo-American perps so determined to wreck and ruin Assad’s reputation forever?
Because it’s those real bad guys who are doing all the mass murdering in Syria right now, especially committing a highly organized genocide against the Christian communities throughout the entire Levant, that’s why! As follows:
Damascus Has Fallen: Assad Has Reportedly Left The Capital
from ZeroHedge:
Update(2200ET): Damascus has fallen. Unverified reports say President Assad and top officials have fled to Dubai or elsewhere but the situation overnight is fluid and anything but clear in terms of the location of top leadership. They may be in Latakia on the coast, or headed there. What is clear, however, is that the jihadists have entered the heart of the capital.
This brings to an end the last secular and Baathist state in the Middle East, and 50+ years of Assad family rule. Journalist Danny Makki, who is currently in Damascus, observes:
Will Damascus Fall?
by Mike Whitney, The Unz Review:
#Israel is waiting… for #Homs to fall in order to annex the south of #Syria and call it a “buffer zone to protect against jihadists”, the same thing it has been supporting for many years. @Netanyahu is not hiding his ambition that helps his image domestically by adding more stolen territories to the “greater Israel”. Elijah J. Magnier @ejmalrai
In a matter of days, a small army of battle-hardened jihadists have swarmed across Syria shattering a fragile truce and threatening the regional balance of power. The surprise Blitz has sent the stunned Syrian Army into full retreat while mostly foreign militants have seized the country’s industrial hub, Aleppo, and its fourth largest city, Hama.

Russian Ship Fires Warning Shots At German Military Helicopter In Baltic Sea
from ZeroHedge:
In a rare dangerous incident and close-call, European media reports have described that the crew of a Russian ship ‘fired’ upon a Germany army helicopter which was monitoring the vessel’s movements in the Baltic Sea.
“German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced increased surveillance in the Baltic Sea after a Russian ship fired at a Bundeswehr helicopter during a mission,” EuroNews writes.
The Bundeswehr helicopter was confirmed to have been on a reconnaissance mission at an unclear date and time, but the Russian ship – described in The Daily Mail as a warship – fired signaling ammunition in an apparent effort to warn the aircraft off.
