Christoforou notes that the EU is trying to intervene in US elections by threatening Elon Musk to censor Trump or else face their 'full toolbox' of responses.
He said the only tools in this whole story are in the EU. Regarding the conversation between Musk and Trump, Trump said he didn't like the EU and he thinks they are a bunch of freeloaders, they take our money, our stuff, won't let us trade with EU, and give us nothing. The EU is terrified of Trump - he's going to stop the money flowing to them.
Russia is bombing the Ukrainian forces in Kursk, they can't retreat. The Russians are using FAB bombs and artillary.
Putin has given Colonel-General Alexei Dyumin the responsibility for Russia's response to the Ukrainian raiders in Kursk.
In 2014, Dyumin coordinated the the successful operation in Crimea to defend it from Nuland's (CIA) advancing horde. Putin is giving Dyumin this responsibility as a test or experience as Dyumin is presently considered Putin's likely successor.Putin held a low tech press conference - one guy with a camera panning the room. Putin said it's impossible to negotiate with Ukraine while they are attacking civilians, civilian infrastructure, or trying to create threats for nuclear industry facilities. "What is there even to talk about with them?"
Christoforou said he doesn't believe Putin is completely done with the idea of negotiations, but this is the closest Putin has come to that point.
Zelensky's meeting had much better production values - good lighting 3 -4 cameras etc. Zelensky said the operation in Kursk is a huge success, and that Ukrainians are controlling 1000sq Km.Christoforou makes the point that the Ukrainian fighters in Kursk include small platoons running around Russia terrorizing citizens, they are out of control, not in control. Those are the ones who said were heard to speak Polish, French and English.
Richard Blumenthal, Lindsay Graham asked Putin for permission to visit the Ukraine. Putin agreed.
Christoforou said Lindsay was "talking all kinds of smack."
When asked to describe the operation in Kursk, Linday Graham responded: "Bold, brilliant, beautiful. Keep it up. Putin started this; kick his ass. Let these people fight. Give 'em weapons to win a war they can't afford to lose."
Christoforou notes it's always bad for the Ukrainians when Linsay Graham visits Ukraine - he's always there to push them to endure more punishment from the Russians.
Lindsay Graham also tried to help recruit F-16 pilots for the Ukraine. "If you're a retired F-16 pilot, and you're looking to fight for freedom, they will hire you here. They're gonna look throughout NATO nations for F-16 fighter pilots who are retired, to come help them, until they get their fighter pilots trained."
Christoforou described Lindsay's comments as pathetic, and an admission the Ukraine doesn't have pilots. Gragham promised Zelensky more money and weapons and that he will talk to Biden.
Christoforou said the "soldiers, let's call them mercenaries", have been firing on Russian citizens were heard to speak Polish, French and English. So Lindsay Graham showing up acting giddy and happy about the fighting in Kursk were dumb ideas. That's why Putin allowed Graham and Blumenthal to visit Ukraine - it helps Putin make the point the US was behind this operation.
Christoforou said the only person who said that Russia would overtake Kyiv in 3 days was Mark Milley - none of the Russians ever said it. So Milley said it and the MSM falsely attributed the statement to Putin or other Russian officials. It worked. In the Ukraine, Lindsay said the line at the meeting with Zelensky, praising Zelensky's leadership.
ransomnote: I did not watch the last 6 minutes or so of the video as the topic turned to Israel.
Ping
Well lets strap Lindsey in an F-16 and send him to fight “the Rooskies”.
For whom does Lindsey speak?
I don’t belong to any social media sites. I tried them, and found nothing redeeming about them. That being said, if the EU wants to censor people on a social media site, let them form their own EU social media site, and run it the way they want.
For his butt-buddy Zelensky.
Why? What the hell is so bad about Trump?
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled EU X panic, demands Musk censor Trump. Dyumin in charge of Kursk. Graham in Kiev, wants F16 pilots (first 36 minutes of video), nwrep wrote: For whom does Lindsey speak?

He doesn't like the EU. Says they are freeloaders and we give them money and protection and they do nothing for us. They're afraid he will cut the tap to their trough.
Trump will probably get the biggest and best stocked “tool box” of all.
If he's successful, he'll have the inside track to be Putin's successor in a few years.
EU is already deep into Ingsoc status.
THE EU IS BITING OFF MORE THAN IT CAN CHEW GOING AFTER MUSK
Musk is to the EU what Martin Luther was to the corrupt Catholic hierarchy in 1517. And X is the new printing press, it’s just a tool.
So the only two persons, outside of our resident Zeepers, that ever said that Russia would overtake Kyiv in 3 days was Mark Milley & Lindsey Graham; none of the Russians ever said it. That “slogan” is as empty as Joe Biden’s brain, and Joe Approves this message - about his own brain stuck on 10%.
Chris is a funny guy making light of the superior PR campaign one country has vs. actual success on the battlefield.
This is the Only Moment since the opening days of the Special Operation that Russia has ever ruled out negotiations, or stated that they are conducting Anti-Terrorist Operations corresponding to the failed attacks on nuke plants this week at two different locations.
Russia went further though, they said this Ukraine Government was a threat to not only the world, but to their own people, as well as a threat to their chief sponsors.
Should Ukraine use a dirty bomb, the repercussions will be directed at Washington, or if there is a nuclear terrorism by Ukrainian hands as the US has enabled them with U235/6 workarounds.
Graham showing up means these are desperate times in the RINO/DNC offices in Washington and that Zelinski is being told to step down or be removed.
F the EU.
Good post. Here are some notes I took from the Alexander Mercouris video (haven’t finished watching it) wherein Russian say they know the name of the man the US has selected to replace Zelensky. I’ll put that part to the front of my notes:
Alexander Mercouris
Video Title: Putin No Talks, Kiev Regime Change Needed; Ukr Heavy Losses, Kursk Stalled, Pokrovsk Battle Starts
Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)- Americans have decided to replace Zelensky with Arsen Avakov Interior MInister for many years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsen_Avakov
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan
In Putin’s meeting yesterday. Ongoing Ukraine war is ‘special operation’ and the incursion is terrorism.
anti-terrorism.
Mercouris thinks the video of Putin’s public remarks is over-analyzed- they were public and agreed upon in advance.
Putin: “What kind of negotiations could we have with those who attack citizens and pose a threat to nuclear power plants?(plural) What is there to discuss with such parties?” Russia tried to find a peaceful resolution, but Zelensky is pursuing terrorist acts. West is using Ukrainians as proxies.
Seems like Putin will not negotiate with Zelensky - will negotiate with replacements. The west controls them.
Will not transfer troops from other areas. Putin says Zelensky is a threat to Russians and to Ukrainians, whose lives he is expending for no reason.
China - told them want peace then attack. Now China and other mediators feel deceived.
This from Eurasia Daily:
Arsen Avakov* — a cruel, vile, corrupt Ukrainian neo-Nazi. Replacing Zelensky with the ex-Interior Minister for Russia would mean “changing the awl for soap.” Moreover, the scoundrel who flooded Kharkov with blood in 2014 is unlikely to fit the role of a negotiator with Moscow, political analyst Vladimir Skachko believes.
Earlier, EADaily reported that in The SVR declared dissatisfaction with President Zelensky in the elites of the United States. According to intelligence data, Arsen Avakov may be a suitable candidate to replace him*.
I’ve never heard the term “changing the awl for soap”, so I looked it up. According to the Dictionary of Russian Phraseological Units it means “to make a useless short-sighted exchange,” or it could also mean “choosing the worst from the bad” or “making an exchange of unnecessary things for a more suitable one.”
It’s all true. The Eu is a dumpster fire of its own making.
