Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday threatened to stage a military coup against Russia’s Ministry of Defense using his personal 25,000-strong mercenary army.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly been moved to a secure location and the FSB has opened a criminal case against Prigozhin for “incitement to an armed rebellion.”
Prigozhin claimed earlier today that a Wagner camp was hit by the Russian military.
The nuclear power plant it is. Russia did not blow up NordStream. Russia did not blow up the Crimea bridge. Russia did not blow up the dam. Russia did not fire missiles into Poland and Russia did not drone the Kremlin. Russia won’t blow up the power plant. https://t.co/joc0tyHU6p https://t.co/MKnd8RTzbE

Russian President Vladimir Putin has in fresh statements revealed the status of Russia’s hypersonic and nuclear-capable arsenal within the context of the Ukraine war.
In early May, Ukraine’s military claimed to have intercepted Russian ballistic missiles for the first time in the conflict, using a US-made anti-air defense system. The Kremlin rejected the claims, but did confirm it had been using hypersonic missiles within specific or limited operations and long-range launches.
Putin said Wednesday, as translated in TASS: “About half of the units of Russia’s Strategic Missile Force have been equipped with the latest Yars missile systems and are being rearmed with modern Avangard warheads.”

It was obvious from the beginning that the Kremlin’s “limited military operation” would result in an ever-widening war leading to a nuclear confrontation, and there is no doubt that the conflict has continued to widen.
The latest development brings us closer to the use of nuclear weapons. The F-16s, which Biden said would never be given to Ukraine, have now been given, as I said would happen. Moreover, they are being given in a recklessly gratuitous form. The first shipment of F-16s are aircraft that have modifications that allow them to be armed with nuclear weapons.

Earlier in the week news broke out the missing OceanGate submarine used a game controller to operate the entire submarine.
The new details were revealed after a resurfaced video from 2022 showed the CEO of OceanGate Stockton Rush showing a CBS News correspondent a Logitech gaming controller and saying “We run the whole thing with this game controller.”

The war in Ukraine did not have to happen. It wasn’t Putin who was responsible, but the war councils of the Military-Industrial Complex in the U.S., the U.K. and NATO, which continue to reject negotiations which could provide security guarantees for Ukraine and Russia. They prefer instead to wage a Permanent War. Trump, RFK, Jr. and Ron Paul in recent days have all spoken against the War Hawks and their financial backers. Now is the time for citizens to join with the LaRouche movement to create peace based on principles of cooperation, which produce mutual benefit for all. How can this be accomplished? Read the proposals linked below, and join with us to realize the common goals for a peaceful, prosperous world.

China and Cuba are holding advanced negotiations to establish a joint military training facility on Cuban soil, according to a report based on anonymous sources published by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
The report cites current and former U.S officials, who expressed concerns that the prospective military training facility, which would allegedly be built on Cuba’s northern coast, could lead to the stationing of Chinese troops and other security and intelligence operations just 100 miles off Florida’s coast and on the same island as a critical U.S. military facility.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken traveled to China this past weekend to give the green light to the communist regime to invade Taiwan.
The Biden regime is destroying America from within and surrendering our principles and leadership on the international stage at the same time.
As Steve Bannon says, “Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.”
Tony Blinken made this announcement from mainland China, “We do not support Taiwan independence.”
from ZeroHedge:
Russia has issued a fresh warning amid new accusations that Kiev is planning major missile attacks on Russian-controlled Crimea.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday that Ukrainian forces are plotting attacks with HIMARS long-range artillery systems and Storm Shadow missiles against the Crimean peninsula. Crucially Shoigu said that this would mean full-scale involvement of the United States and Britain in the war, given their military systems would be utilized.

This is not the outcome the war propagandists expected:
[General Petreus] spoke about the situation in Ukraine to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.On the counteroffensive, he said:
I think that this counteroffensive is going to be very impressive.
My sense is that they will achieve combined arms effects in other words, they will successfully carry out combined arms operations where you have engineers that are breaching the obstacles and diffusing the minefields and so forth; armour following right on through protected by infantry against anti-tank missiles; air defence keeping the Russians aircraft off them; electronic warfare jamming their radio networks; logistics right up behind them; artillery and mortars right out in front of them.
by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
What is it going to take to wake people up? Russia is deploying tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, and there is lots of talk in the Russian media about using such weapons to bring a quick end to the war in Ukraine. The theory is that once the Russians show that they are willing to use tactical nukes, the U.S. and the other western powers will back off. But that won’t be what happens. Instead of backing off, the Biden administration will respond by using U.S. tactical nuclear weapons against Russian targets in Ukraine. And once both sides have used tactical nukes, it is just a matter of time before the big nukes get used.
