Since he’s likely to get spanked by Putin in Ukraine, perhaps he’ll slow his quest to start wars throughout the world.

Events have forced a re-evaluation of which side is actually feeding our media with disinformation. Given all the real information available Putin is starting to sound more credible than Zelinskyy. As one sage observer noted, Russia fights a real war. The West uses Ukraine to fight a public relations war.

Neocons don’t care whether they win or lose a war, as long as they are involved in the thing.

Neocons don’t care whether they win or lose a war, as long as they profit from the thing.

The fact that Grahamnesty is partnering with Blumenthal should remove all doubt about Graham’s instincts and his core. This guy is a RINO to his core.
Apparently, the supposed “conservative” SC voters are either NOT or they are completely out of touch, clueless voters.

Given the daily degradation of the Ukrainian ground forces and the sheer and utter wrecking that the Russian artillery is daily sowing, notice how many are going to Ukraine to meet with corrupt Nazi-accepting ZelenskyyIdiot....no doubt to pay their last respects?

Here are a few recent Telegram posts from one of my favorite Ukrainian sites that offer some insight (which to date has turned out to be quite accurate) as to what is really going on behind the scenes currently.


⚡️⚡️#InsideOur
source in the OP said that the Office of the President instructed the SBU to actively dig under the military command, the conflict with Zaluzhny did not go anywhere, and the confrontation between politicians and the military reached a new level, after being publicly marked by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The secret services must establish a chain for the sale of weapons in the army in order to provoke a scandal in society, which will cause Zalugny to be fired. Bankovaya is confident that this particular track should completely discredit the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who has recently been pursuing an active independent policy with the Pentagon.

MediaKiller
The media destruction of Zaluzhny was organized by the media technologists of the Office of the President in three stages! First, they leaked information about the agendas through the IJU, the information was personally denied by Fedorov, then the people’s deputy from the SN leaks the document about the actual enslavement of men behind the districts, while they immediately give harsh wording in order to cause maximum negative against the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine! The finale of the whole action is the hero savior The President reminds everyone that he is the commander-in-chief in general and without his department, DO NOT MAKE such decisions ANY MORE! Zalugny was publicly humiliated and put in his place, and the political center of influence again showed who was in charge!
The whole campaign was staged because we received a strategic defeat near Lysychansk, which caused even more division among the Ukrainian elite, the military command accuses the political leadership of taking too long to make a decision. In response, politicians are working on the option of “cleansing” the military command, and there have already been stuffing about physical elimination, and yesterday we saw how media technologists destroyed Zaluzhny in the information!

⚡️⚡️#Inside
Our source in the OP confirmed the information of colleagues that the leak of the document was approved by the political center of influence and was aimed against Zaluzhny, who demanded the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Severodonetsk and Lysichansk in order to save soldiers and equipment. The office of the President is already preparing a decision that should cancel Zaluzhny’s order, and now the option of Zelensky’s personal appeal is being discussed.

Our source in the OP said that the arms trade on the dark web is becoming toxic for the Office of the President, but the most interesting schemes are still hidden from investigations, but when they become public, they will have the effect of an exploding bomb. The functionaries of the Office of the President, who work with Odessa smugglers, are involved in the arms sales schemes. The main targets of the delivery are the countries of the Middle East, North Africa and China, the weapons leave through Constanta and pay a double price for them. Especially Beijing, which needs advanced technology from the West.

Another scandal with the sale of weapons surfaced in the Western media , and this is a specialized publication that studies military conflicts. The Office of the President is trying by any means to hush up the situation, but this is the second case, and the EU has become more careful in its approach to the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Over the weekend, the German media published data on the capture of the PzH 2000 installation by the separatists, which caused discontent in the political circles of Germany.

Bulgarian Military: A group of Ukrainian military personnel sold French CAESAR self-propelled artillery mounts for $120,000 per unit, with the real cost of one howitzer being about $7 million. Sources of the publication in the command of the French Armed Forces and Interpol claim that two CAESAR self-propelled howitzers were sold by Ukrainians through an intermediary - a military dealer .

“Corrupt Ukrainian military personnel are involved in the illegal arms trade in order to maximize profits, and this does not only apply to this case with howitzers ,” writes Bulgarian Military.
According to the publication, Interpol is aware of the illegal sale of weapons by Ukrainians. Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock has previously spoken of his fears that Western weapons supplied to Ukraine would fall into the hands of criminal organizations.
“In fact, even the US intelligence agencies do not know where the weapons supplied to Ukraine are going. The arms trade takes place with the tacit complicity of Western governments, which thoughtlessly supply military assistance to Ukraine and do not check exactly how their weapons are ultimately used ,” the material emphasizes. .
The authors of the material note that at the moment the French self-propelled guns are at Uralvagonzavod, which, according to Bulgarian military analysts, indicates the intention of the Russian Federation “to disassemble them and study the technologies in detail”, up to using CAESAR analogues against Ukrainian forces.

The economic situation in the country is deteriorating, which is evident from our reserves, but so far no one is talking about it. Everyone is waiting for the promised 5 billion a month from the West, while the IMF refuses to write off our debts, as they did to poor countries during covid.

Resident
The military sabotage of Ukraine continues and will increase in the future, which will become a problem for the Office of the President. Germany cannot “rob” its own army, so it will not supply more military equipment to Ukraine

This was stated by the country’s Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht.

“ We support Ukraine with everything we can, and we do it responsibly. But we must also guarantee the defense capability of Germany itself ,” DW quotes the words. “It is irresponsible to rob the Bundeswehr, especially today .” Thus, Lambrecht reacted to the demand of the German parliamentary opposition to supply Ukraine with 200 Fuchs armored personnel carriers from the arsenals of the Bundeswehr.

All assistance from the West to Ukraine is provided in the form of loans, which is not at all news for experts, but in the media they are trying to bypass this fact. Only now they don’t even want to give us loans! According to Bloomberg, the European Commission is blocking a loan of 1.5 billion euros for Ukraine.

The publication, citing sources, writes that Ukraine was faced with the fact that the proposed loan was blocked by the budgetary division of the European Commission due to concerns about its financial reliability.

The European Investment Bank, the EU’s lending institution, has offered a loan to Kyiv. The Commission guarantees EIB credits for operations outside the EU, with a provision typically equal to 9% of total funding.

But in this case, the commission wants reserves equal to 70% of the total, as it did with the previous €1 billion offer for Ukraine, the officials said.

According to them, the commission puts forward a requirement in case the country is unable to return the funds to the markets.

A spokesman for the commission said the EU needs to make sure it can cover the losses if Ukraine defaults.
