RIA Novesti:

"'They took everything: refrigerators, nightstands, cabinets'

Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in pickup trucks were removing electronics and furniture from the empty houses of Yampol residents, a refugee, Sergei Boldarev, told RIA Novosti."

Terrorists in Syria did the same, only more extreme: they stole piping and anything they could detach from the homes they invaded.

One example: the old city of Homs, which I visited in June 2014, one month after it was liberated of the terrorist "rebels" who slaughtered, destroyed and pillaged:

"...The arched interior of the St. Mary’s Church (Um al-Zinnar) bears the char marks of its burning by retreating insurgents. Like many others, the church was looted of objects and vandalised, with the insurgents leaving sectarian graffiti on the walls. “Symbols related to Christianity were removed. Even from inside houses. If you had a picture of the Virgin Mary, they removed it,” said Abu Nabeel.

..."Thirty-eight times they came to steal our food. The first couple of times, they knocked on the door, after that they just entered with guns. The last things they took were our dried peas, our cracked wheat, our olives, finally our za’atar (wild thyme). We started to eat grass and whatever greens we could find in February, 2014, and that’s all we had till Homs was liberated,” Zeinat said.

“The last time they came all we had were some spices. I was putting the spices on the grass and weeds that we were eating at that point, to give them some flavour. They even took the spices. They didn’t leave us anything.”

The insurgents also stole valuables. “Money, gold, and they took my passport,” Zeinat laughed. “What do they want with it?”

..."They took our personal belongings, our money, they stole everything, even the pumps used to pump water up to the higher floors. They stole the electrical wiring, the electricity meters, the taps in the kitchen and bathroom, the engine of the washing machine… they couldn’t take the whole machine so they took the engine. They took the ceiling fan, the wall tiles…"

"Scenes of huge demonstrations in support of President Maduro came out yesterday in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas"

"Israeli occupation forces targeted Palestinian fishermen at sea off the coast of Gaza, endangering their lives as they attempted to earn a living and provide food for their families."

Freeland's got a new Nazi gig.


"Media: "Zelensky appointed ex-Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland as his freelance advisor"

Chrystia Freeland is the granddaughter of the Nazi collaborator Mykhailo Khomiak, who during the German occupation of Poland published the newspaper "Krakivski Visti" in Krakow and later in Vienna. This was a real propaganda mouthpiece of the Reich, supervised by Nazi special services.

It was Freeland who was behind the honoring in the Canadian parliament of the Nazi collaborator Gunka, who served as a volunteer in the SS division "Galizyna".

Bankova Street is a haven for neo-Nazis, who with necrophilic ecstasy exhum the collaborative past of their criminal ancestors, who swore allegiance to the Third Reich."

There is a peculiar recurring daydream that surfaces in certain Western corners of the internet, comment sections, and late-night geopolitical threads: the vision of Chinese and Russian warships steaming into the Caribbean to save Venezuela, or squadrons of Su-57s and J-20s flying to Iran.
This compensatory fantasy draws on the quintessential trope of salvation in Westerns: the trumpet blasts and the cavalry appears. These sofa strategists expect Moscow and Beijing to militarily engage a nuclear power on a matter of principle, that is to put the bully in his place. The rescue fantasy persists because it satisfies several deep psychological and ideological needs at once. That is, it offers the satisfying narrative arc of hubris followed by a dramatic comeuppance and provides a ready-made deus ex machina that allows one to mentally outsource resistance to Western regimes to the Other.
The reality is more prosaic. Neither Caracas nor Tehran labors under any illusion that Russian or Chinese troops will intervene to preserve their governments. They do receive help: weapons, intelligence, oil contracts, UN vetoes, and the continued existence of alternative payment systems. What they do not expect, and have never been promised, is the cavalry charge.

"You will not see these images on TV, they are millions of Venezuelans walking the streets of Venezuela asking for the release of the hostage Nicolas Maduro, kidnapped by the US imperialist terrorists.

The mercenary press only puts images of squalid salesmen abroad who celebrate invading "their country", but never shows you the Venezuelans who live in Venezuela and who ask for Maduro's return.

The media should be judged as accomplices of war crimes, their lies are weapons used to justify genocides and invasions against other innocent peoples."

"🇻🇪❤️‍🔥 Venezuela speaks:

"There were people who were sleeping and died. There were people who were driving and died. There were children who heard bombs falling.

There are Venezuelans celebrating these things. I say this: if you are celebrating these things, you are not really a Venezuelan at heart.""

Vasily Nebenzya called the US actions to seize Nicolas Maduro a robbery.

Other statements by the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN:

🟥The crime committed by the US in Caracas has no and cannot have any justification. It heralds the return to an era of lawlessness and arbitrariness;

🟥Russia calls on the US to immediately release Nicolas Maduro, the legitimately elected president of Venezuela;

🟥We cannot allow the US to establish itself as an international judge;

🟥Washington is giving a new impetus to neocolonialism and imperialism

Don’t we all wish we had supernatural powers, the kind of powers that exist in the world of fiction? Military strategy is not based on wishful thinking, although some European leaders seem to operate under this dangerous illusion with regards to the conflict in Ukraine. China and Russia operate within the realm of what is realistically possible. That is why they have military cooperation and strategic partnership with several friendly countries, but cooperation hasn't been elevated to a military alliance or a defense pact. Neither China nor Russia has military bases in Venezuela, how on earth could they “intervene more forcefully” as some Netizens demand? Suggestions should fall within the scope of the possible rather than the desirable. Non-military, or asymmetric, responses offer an avenue and will likely be pursued with determination. @LauraRuHK
