Ukraine is not interested in occupying Russian territories. This is obvious. Because #Ukraine is waging an exclusively defensive war strictly within the framework of international law... But if we are talking about potential negotiations – I emphasize potential – we will have to put #Rf at the table opposite. On our own terms. We have absolutely no plans to beg: "Please, sit down to negotiate". Instead, we have proven, effective means of coercion.In addition to economic and diplomatic ones, this is also a military tool. We need to inflict significant tactical defeats on #Russia. In the Kursk region, we can...

SNIP….the Wall Street Journal ran a remarkable, long-form, magazine-style article under the headline: “As Ukraine Invades Russia, Kyiv’s Troops Are in Trouble on the Eastern Front.” Uh ohSNIPUsing around 14,000 of its last, best troops, and a vast array of critical, impossible-to-replace war equipment, Ukraine tried to flip the script by invading Russia in a quiet, remote, sparsely populated area on the northeast corner of the map.In other words, bantam-sized President Zelensky boldy let slip the dogs of war. But in this case, the dogs of war were more like the miniature poodles of war.SNIPIt looks a lot like the...

The first part of Alexander Mercouris' video deals with specific regions and fighting in the Donbas (primarily Pokrovsk) in detail. Mercouris says the fighting in that critical region appears to be reaching a 'decision point' as Russians continue to advance, apparently faster than anticipated. Ukrainians normally evacuate citizens ahead of Russian troops and this didn't happen in today's fighting in Donbas, supporting Mercouris' impression that the Ukrainians did not anticipate this rate of Russian advance.Mercouris mentions airforce and drone attacks on Ukrainians fighters and includes aUkrainian fuel supply convoy of 15 vehicles which was destroyed by Russian aircraft. He said...

Mercouris ntoes the most interesting point in the last 24 hrs: The Russians seem to be on the point of an attack on Pokrovsk in Donbas. Ukrainian resistance to defend this town is crumbling.Ukrainian offensive in Kursk:The Russian authorities are saying that the objective of the Ukrainians was the capture of the Kursk nuclear power plant. The western media is avoiding the topic and the Ukrainians have not said so, but have hinted.The only purpose of committing 6 Ukrainian brigades to Kursk would be to capture the nuclear plant.The Chechen commander Apti Aladeenov (Akmut Special Forces) has published a long...

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...

TRANSCRIPT BELOW THE IMAGE: First time I've seen this campaign video. It includes a powerful montage of his trajectory through history - including Mar A Lago raids, prosecution in the MSM, prosecution in the courts etc. With lightening and thunder at 55 seconds in the video, he says, "I never thought that anything like this could happen in America" as he's shown walking through a downpour wearing a red MAGA hat.https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1823016427680358790President Donald J.

ransomnote: The first 16 minutes of the 31 minute Rumble video cover Ukraine War updates. Alexander Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris each post some content separately, and then they combine their commentary in separate content under their business title, "The Duran." This is Christoforou posting alone, and for some reason he refers to Zelensky as 'Elensky' throughout his talk.In the Ukrainian drone attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP), one of the columns close to the reactor caught fire. The ZNPP had to be put in cold shutdown. Russia claims the plant is safe, and is in cold shutdown. (image from...

A former North Dakota State Senator pleaded guilty today to traveling to Prague, Czech Republic, to have commercial sex with minor boys. According to court documents and facts established in public proceedings, Ray Holmberg, 80, of Grand Forks, took approximately 14 trips to Prague between 2011 and 2021 to engage in commercial sex acts with minor boys. During some of these trips, Holmberg used the alias “Sean Evans” while staying at a brothel where young boys provided commercial sexual services. Holmberg also went to a public park in front of the main train station in Prague to procure sex from...

This week brings us another new batch of damning articles from the pro-Ukrainian Western media. The most telling of these comes from German Die Welt, which exposes how nearly all NATO ‘insiders’ secretly whisper among themselves that Ukraine stands no chance, but they dare not say so in public: https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/plus252746254/Russlands-Krieg-Die-duestere-Ukraine-Realitaet-ueber-die-Nato-Insider-nur-anonym-sprechen-wollen.htmlIn Brussels, no one expected that Ukraine will win their lost territories back. Only no one wants to talk about it – at least officially. Die Welt has spoken with a number of insiders that give reasons for their gloomy outlook with one of Europe's self-inflicted fact.Excuse the slightly wonky autotranslation,...

I haven't been following Britain well at all, and snooping around to try to catch up, I came across some arrest information from 2016 for content posted on Social media. If it was that bad in 2016, I can't imagine what social media policing is like there now. Many in Britain are posting massive protest videos on X.com. Are they going to be charged with 'inciting to riot'? Prayers up.Two clarifications:1. The "3,300" figure i(below) is likely a reference to a 2017 piece in The Times.More than 3,300 people were detained and questioned last year over so-called trolling on social...

Below, in order of presentation, are my comments, the link and X.com post of the 5 minute video, and TRANSCRIPT.I saw this 5 minute video of a longer interview, between a BBC reporter and Elon Musk, some time ago and it has stayed on my mind. I couldn't recall who the interviewer worked for and my mind supplied the nick name 'Rat Boi' for him based on the reporter's behavior. He's a BBC reporter asserting that hate speech is on the rise since Musk took over, yet was unprepared and unable to supply any proof, but instead supplied child-like evasions.I...

We started off with a bang the first month of Q3 and have hit a plateau. We're within reach, but we need to pedal faster to stay on track and avoid frantic last minute measures. Looking at Q3, I see FReepers have already donated $25,578! (THANK YOU DEAR FREEPERS!) The sooner FReepers pile on the remaining donations, the more likely we will avoid the nail biting 'excitement' of trying to get 'er done. :DThe Biden economy has made it harder on FReepers and yet FReepers persevere in working to Make America Great Again. Could you put in your donation today,...
