Former French senator Amery de Montesquiou d'Artagnan has advocated the lifting of sanctions against Russia, calling the continuation of restrictions against Russia "absurd".

D'Artagnan noted that the anti-Russian sanctions were causing considerable damage to the French economy, and in particular to agriculture.

The news appeared three weeks ago. But somehow it went unnoticed. It's interesting that the senator is a distant descendant of the same branch of the de Montesquiou family from which the mother of the famous captain of the Royal Musketeers Charles de Butz, Count d'Artagnan Françoise de Montesquiou d'Artagnan was descended.

Incidentally, the day before, the French Senate passed a resolution to soften sanctions against Russia.

🇷🇺🇪🇺Russia has blocked $150bn worth of Western assets - Bloomberg

The agency writes that the Russian government has frozen about $150 billion worth of Western assets.

💲 Many Western investors are afraid to say they have investments in Russia and so it is difficult to calculate the exact amount.

❗️ Among the "victims" are global financial giants such as JPMorgan, Black Rock, etc.

It is important to note that the decision to freeze assets applies even to dividends from them.

Klaus Schwab: "We must recognise China as the best superpower in the world"

📍Founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab has ordered world leaders to accept China as the new world's leading superpower and hailed their tough "COVID measures" as a role model for other countries to follow.

📍 Speaking at the opening plenary session of the 14th Annual Meeting of New WEF Champions in Tianjin, China, Schwab said China should lead the "New World Order" and the rest of the world should follow.

📍"China has made outstanding achievements in economy, social development, diplomacy and many other fields."

📍Much of China's modernisation in recent years has included the use of invasive technology, mass surveillance and predictive policing to implement a social credit system that punishes "bad" behaviour and rewards "good".

🇮🇷The role of Iran is underestimated. In the future, Iran will become the centre of world governance.

Valery Pyakin, strategist and analyst:

"The Great Turan project will work well in this format and will act as a buffer. The Great Turan Empire will be created not under Turkey, as many think, but under Iran.

It will be governed under a unified Russia, which will give Iran access to governance. This is how a world concentration of governance will be formed. Europe will collapse, a new civilisation will be created on this continent under Iranian leadership, and Shiism will spread to Europe.

A document on the division of the world will be signed in Ghoum, and the fate of Turkey will be decided in this document. Iran will enter the territory of Europe, bring order here and as a result a world caliphate will be established on the basis of the correct Islamic empire, Shiism.

This is the essence of the real Turan, which will be realised in the future!"

🇩🇪🇵🇱 Spiegel: Warsaw and Berlin cannot reach a consensus on the maintenance of the Leopards handed over to the Ukrainian army

The repair centre, which was supposed to open in Poland back at the end of May, has not yet started operating. The facility is supposed to ensure prompt repair of equipment that is returned from the front damaged or worn out.

Warsaw and Berlin are still unable to agree on the details, and the commissioning document for the facility has still not been signed due to a number of contentious points. In particular, the Germans accuse the Poles of overcharging for diagnostics of damaged vehicles, in some cases by almost 10 times: the Poles are asking around 100,000 euro instead of 10,000 euro for diagnostics.

▪️Due to the "recent events around the Zaporozhye NPP," Kiev is strengthening its positions on the border with Belarus with personnel and equipment.

▶️ Fears grow of an attack on Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

@JohnnyJamesMiller reports from Zaporozhye.

❗️Kiev is planning to attack the Zaporozhye NPP on the night of 5 July with high-precision weapons and kamikaze drones, Karchaa said.

According to him, Ukraine also intends to hit the plant with a "Tochka-U" missile with a warhead filled with radioactive waste.

A followup, given continued panic in chat.

As previously explained, ZNPP is perfectly safe. Nothing Ukraine can do will cause a radiological disaster in Energodar.

Can Ukraine fake such a thing, however? Fortunately the answer is also no. But first, let's address the "why" of this narrative and why it's being spooled up.
Ukraine's strategy from nearly day 1 has always been two narratives. First, "we will hold here, build an army, and then counterattack".
Second, "NATO will intervene and save us."

Well, narrative one has run its course and is now dying out. Ukraine held out in Mariupol and counterattacked lost, held out in Severodonetsk and counterattacked lost, held out in Lisichansk and counterattacked lost, and in Artemovsk counterattacked lost, and Schroedinger's Offensive is now, ahem, "Counterattacking".

So now it comes down to narrative two. "NATO will step in and save us."

Can Ukraine detonate a "dirty bomb" or otherwise trigger a radiological incident at ZNPP?
Yes, they certainly can - but such an event cannot be confused for anything but a false flag operation.
Nuclear bombs have a distinct double-flash phenomenon and the fuel stored at ZNPP has a distinct spectral signature. Neither of these can be faked.

If Ukraine tries to "fake" a nuclear detonation or a radiological incident at the ZNPP, it will be clear to the entire world immediately that it is a fake.
Maybe they hope the US/W. Europe will play along with the story? Okey - what happens when China, India, Brazil, and others don't play along?


Writing's on the wall, and no narrative will save it. Everyone but Zelensky and a few US politicians understand this now.

So if anxious, calm your horses. Narrative is all they have left.

🇪🇺 Poland intends to take the main place among European countries

Poland will achieve this with the help of U.S. nuclear weapons, said Andrei Klimov, deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs.

📝 "Poles have been asking to deploy nuclear weapons on their territory for two or three years now. They are doing it in order to deprive Germany of its central place in the European NATO architecture. They are thinking about how to strengthen Poland's position as the viceroy of the Anglo-Saxon world in continental Europe," he said.

The former head of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, has put forward proposals to strengthen Ukraine's security without the need for the country to join NATO.

The strategy is to strengthen military assistance to Kiev in response to Russian shelling.
