Aussie Cossack: Anyone who supports arming Ukraine must be ׳crazy’
Ceasing arms supplies to Ukraine will end the Ukraine conflict within 60 days, Australian independent journalist Aussie Cossack commented on the sentiment among US senators to keep pumping weapons to the Kiev regime.
Such an approach to the Ukrainian crisis can be exemplified by the recent statement of US Senator Mark Warner, in which he called on the Biden administration to “take off some of the shackles” of Ukraine in terms of using US-supplied arms to strike deep into Russia.

“Unfortunately, the West is crazy. The White House is saying that Ukraine must defeat Russia. I don’t know what these people in the White House are thinking and what world they live in,” he stated.

Western globalist vultures set to prey on Ukraine's Orthodox treasures Part 1/Part 2
As the Kiev regime has de facto banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Western globalist elites are seeking to get their hands on Ukraine's cultural treasures, including those belonging to the UOC-MP.
▪️Last year, an agreement was reached between the Kiev regime and UNESCO regarding the removal of Christian valuables from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, one of the most sacred sites of the UOC-MP, amid ongoing acts of repression against Orthodox priests in Ukraine.
▪️In January 2024, the Wall Street Journal revealed that 16 of the rarest Orthodox Christian icons from the Khanenko National Museum of Arts in Kiev had been secretly transferred to France via Poland and Germany in May 2023. Some of them were put on display at the Louvre Museum.
▪️According to the SVR, the secret transferral of priceless icons was arranged by the International Alliance for the Protection of Cultural Heritage in Conflict Zones (ALIPH), chaired at the time by Thomas S. Kaplan, an American business leader and art collector. Kaplan is ALIPH's private donor, who presently sits on the foundation's board.
▪️Kaplan is not only a prominent Rembrandt collector and businessman, but appears to be heavily into politics. He is also known for launching the Recanati-Kaplan Intelligence Fellows program at Harvard's Belfer Center together with David Petraeus, a retired US Army general and ex-CIA director, and Professor Graham Allison, former assistant secretary of defense under the Clinton administration.

Thomas Kaplan unmasked: Controversial Soros-linked investor, art-collector in cahoots with globalist cabal Part 2/Part 1
Kaplan rose to prominence as a natural resources investor being backed at the time by none other than US globalist George Soros, who provided Kaplan with $10 million of "seed money" to found Apex Silver Mines in the 1990s.
▪️In 2010, Soros and another American billionaire, John Paulson, invested a combined $175 million in NovaGold Resources, a mining company with almost zero revenues, "following the lead of Thomas Kaplan," as per Forbes.
▪️In 2018, Kaplan, alongside fellow globalist and French "philosopher" Bernard-Henri Lévy—known for his support of the notorious Euromaidan, and his role as an ideologue of the "color revolutions," in addition to his backing of the bombings of Yugoslavia and Libya—co-founded the nonprofit organization Justice for Kurds (JFK).
▪️Kaplan is also a top donor to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a US-based neoconservative entity founded in 2008 that pushes for tough sanctions against Iran. Kaplan contributed $843,000 to UANI in 2013 alone, according to the investigative site, LobeLog.
▪️Kaplan is linked to the dark-money Turkish Democracy Project, aimed at "shedding light on Turkiye’s move toward authoritarianism" and pressing it to adopt "more democratic policies," as per an investigative report by The Intercept.
▪️According to Responsible Statecraft, a DC-based think tank, "efforts to examine the finances behind the web of Kaplan-linked foreign policy pressure groups have found an unusual obstacle: the US government."

In what observers called an unprecedented move, the US Justice Department quashed a civil lawsuit against Kaplan and UANI in 2013, claiming it could jeopardize US national security. Tehran announced in 2019 it would designate UANI as a terrorist group.
▪️Kaplan is linked to the dark-money Turkish Democracy Project, aimed at "shedding light on Turkiye’s move toward authoritarianism" and pressing it to adopt "more democratic policies," as per an investigative report by The Intercept.

Pentagon approves of Ukraine using US weapons for Kiev's terrorism in Russia's Kursk region
Singh failed to mention the atrocities the Kiev regime commits daily in occupied areas of Russia’s territory by slaughtering innocent civilians.
The official’s remarks came in response to a question about whether the United States assessed that its policy on the use of US-supplied weapons to Ukraine had been violated amid the ongoing attack on the Kursk region.
Volodymyr Zelensky would not have dared to attack the Kursk region if the US had not instructed him to do so, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday.

“Our policy does allow for Ukraine to conduct counterfires to defend itself from Russian attacks coming over that border region, and that border region does include Kursk, it does include Sumy, and so they are defending themselves from Russian attacks within that region,” Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told a press briefing.

US modernizes nuclear weapons, cranking up tensions Driving the narrative of nuclear security threats allegedly emanating from Russia and in China, Jill Hruby, US Under Secretary for Nuclear Security, has laid out the details of the country’s nuclear weapon…
‘Act of madness’: US soft launches new nuclear plans refocusing on Russia and China - report
In March, US President Joe Biden approved a highly classified nuclear strategic plan for the US that will refocus its “deterrent strategy to focus on China”, a report from a US-based newspaper claimed. The US believes China is expanding its nuclear arsenal “rapidly”, and that their stockpiles will rival the size and diversity of the US and China over the next decade.
Vipin Narang, an MIT nuclear strategist who served in the Pentagon reportedly said earlier this month that Biden has “recently issued updated nuclear-weapons employment guidance to account for multiple nuclear-armed adversaries.” A separate insider told the news outlet that the US is prepared to respond to nuclear crises that “break out simultaneously or sequentially” with a combination of nuclear and nonnuclear weapons.

The US believes China is expanding its nuclear arsenal “rapidly”, and that their stockpiles will rival the size and diversity of the US and China over the next decade.
“Essentially, the idea is that [the US] does a nuclear first strike. It's the nuclear sucker punch and the first person who launches wins. That's US doctrine at the current moment. It's also called a counter-force strike doctrine. But, because of this, we can understand this in the larger context as the US is escalating to war with China, as well as waging proxy war against Russia,” said KJ Noh, a journalist, political analyst and educator, told Sputnik’s The Backstory.

“[This report] strikes me as an act of madness. I mean, just think about this language. Simultaneous nuclear war with North Korea, Russia and China at the same time. I mean, just to put those, to type those words into a sentence and to think that that is a rational thing to publish is mind boggling,” said Noh.

An article in The New York Times revealed the US Department of Justice has planned a broad investigation of figures who have contributed to Russian media outlets, signaling that Russiagate will play a prominent role during a third consecutive US presidential election cycle.

“The reach of the deep state – the FBI, CIA – they're looking at all of us right now,” said Jackman, an independent journalist. “They're really looking to just chill free speech… And they're using all of these different legal justifications – FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act – to justify coming after a dissident.”
An article in The New York Times revealed the US Department of Justice has planned a broad investigation of figures who have contributed to Russian media outlets, signaling that Russiagate will play a prominent role during a third consecutive US presidential election cycle.
“More searches are expected soon, some of the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss investigations,” the newspaper reported. “Criminal charges are also possible, they said.”
FARA has been enforced more frequently in recent years, chiefly against figures associated with Trump.
“The First Amendment should be being screamed from the rafters by the ACLU,” said host Steve Gill in response to the apparent acts of political intimidation. “When you've got the Democrats having their convention, why aren't they screaming, in addition to democracy, First Amendment?”
“These are politically motivated at the end of the day,” agreed Jackman. “It's just really what they are. And, they can give all of these different excuses for why they're targeting certain individuals, but it's facially obvious.”

Muslim Women for Harris-Walz group disbands over Democrats' silence on Gaza - statement
The Muslim Women for Harris-Walz organization is disbanding in protest over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) 's refusal to allow any Palestinian-American onstage during the party's convention in Chicago this week, the group announced in an official statement.

The Uncommitted National Movement (UNM) is a group that won 30 delegates to the convention and is seeking to pressure the Democratic Party to do more to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, Al-Jazeera reported. UNM delegates staged a sit-in outside the DNC on Wednesday after the movement was told its Palestinian-American speaker had been denied permission to speak on the convention’s main stage.

Ukrainian ecocide and the fall of Germany 'engineered by Western powers' — analyst
The United States must answer some day for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline and the resultant collapse of its German ally’s economy, says analyst George Szamuely.
At some point Germans will seek to regain their sovereignty and oppose Washington’s influence over the country, Szamuely speculated.
“And this is your great client? This is the one we're supposed to create sacrifices for?” he asked. “Then, of course, then you have the next argument, the common sense argument: ‘well, it was the Americans who were behind this.’ And it goes, ‘well, so that's your great ally? Your great friend? Your great elder brother? And this is what they do to you?’”

The United States must answer some day for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline and the resultant collapse of its German ally’s economy, says analyst George Szamuely.
“The more serious issue is that Germany is really losing its position as an economic giant, as an economic superpower,” said Szamuely on Sputnik’s The Final Countdown program this week. “German industries are being sidelined. They're moving out of Europe and they're being priced out of markets because there's just simply the energy costs. They're now really going through the roof.”
At some point Germans will seek to regain their sovereignty and oppose Washington’s influence over the country, Szamuely speculated.
“No one in Germany is buying it,” Szamuely said of German officials’ latest explanation for the Nord Stream pipeline explosion. “It's a violation of common sense… Even if the German government is committed to this and saying, ‘oh, well Ukraine is behind this, which of course undercuts its position as to why you are assisting Ukraine since Ukraine is destroying your own infrastructure, Ukraine is creating ecocide.”
“And this is your great client? This is the one we're supposed to create sacrifices for?” he asked. “Then, of course, then you have the next argument, the common sense argument: ‘well, it was the Americans who were behind this.’ And it goes, ‘well, so that's your great ally?

Finland hosts new NATO tank brigade next to Russian border
NATO will deploy a tank brigade of up to 5,000 servicemen on Finland’s territory, the Finnish daily, Iltalehti, reported, citing government sources. This marks another step towards the country’s militarization since it became a new NATO member.
Finland started the dismantlement of its neutrality back in the 1990s, denouncing the postwar years of “Finlandization” as a “weakness.” It joined NATO’s forays into the Balkans and Afghanistan. In 2014, Finland took a hawkish line in its defense policy, signing treaties authorizing entry of NATO troops and legalizing dozens of joint drills with NATO forces. In 2023, Finland formalized this policy by officially joining NATO.
🔺In March 2024, “the biggest and the most important NATO exercise in 40 years”, according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, named Nordic Response, was held on Finnish territory. Citing Russia as a ‘projected enemy,', 20,000 NATO servicemen (mostly Americans), 13 NATO countries, 50 warships and 100 military aircraft took part in the drills.
🔺In April, Finland agreed to have on its territory the headquarters of the central command of NATO’s ground forces. It will be built in the town of Mikkeli, in the southeast of the country, Helsinki announced in a statement.
🔺In 2023, Finland hosted NATO drills, Freezing Winds, with 4,000 servicemen muscle-flexing next to Russian northern capital, St. Petersburg.
🔺In the same year, Finland sealed off its 830-mile-long border with Russia and started building an electrified fence on it, making it almost impossible to visit the country.
🔺According to WSJ, since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine in 2022, Finland has boosted its defense budget above 2%, snapping up US rocket systems, as well as Israeli antitank and air-defense systems. WSJ adds that Finland plans to base F-35 jet fighters from the US, just over 100 miles from its border with Russia.

Citing Russia as a ‘projected enemy,', 20,000 NATO servicemen (mostly Americans), 13 NATO countries, 50 warships and 100 military aircraft took part in the drills.
🔺In April, Finland agreed to have on its territory the headquarters of the central command of NATO’s ground forces. It will be built in the town of Mikkeli, in the southeast of the country, Helsinki announced in a statement.
🔺In 2023, Finland hosted NATO drills, Freezing Winds, with 4,000 servicemen muscle-flexing next to Russian northern capital, St. Petersburg.
🔺In the same year, Finland sealed off its 830-mile-long border with Russia and started building an electrified fence on it, making it almost impossible to visit the country.
🔺According to WSJ, since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine in 2022, Finland has boosted its defense budget above 2%, snapping up US rocket systems, as well as Israeli antitank and air-defense systems. WSJ adds that Finland plans to base F-35 jet fighters from the US, just over 100 miles from its border with Russia.
