On Tuesday Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky addressed the UN Security Council:

We started a special military operation in order to put an end to bombardments of Donbas by Ukraine, and also to make sure that country (that Western states helped to turn anti-Russia) and its nationalist leadership stop posing a threat to both Russia and people living in Ukraine’s southern and south-eastern areas. The special operation will continue until these goals are achieved. By supplying your weapons, you only prolong the agony of the criminal Kiev regime that is ready to sacrifice its own population. The sooner you realize this, the sooner Ukrainian leadership comes to a negotiations table with a realistic position rather than pompous slogans and phantom pains.

A final hotspot in Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) remains the city of Lisichansk, where over 1,000 Ukraine soldiers are now reported dead. The LPR also announced that the first of the US made and sent long range multiple launch rocket systems M142 HIMARS has been used to shell targets in Lugansk province. The Pentagon just announced that four more of these HIMARS rocket systems will be shipped to Ukraine.

With NATO member Lithuania’s blockade aggressively attempting to cut off supplies to the Russian enclave Kaliningrad, on June 25th, Putin promised his major Eastern European regional ally Belarus nuclear capable long-range missiles “within months.” In a televised meeting with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin promised:

In the coming months, we will transfer to Belarus Iskander-M tactical missile systems, which can use ballistic or cruise missiles, in their conventional and nuclear versions.

Iskander-M missiles carry the option of either conventional or nuclear warheads with a range of 300 miles (500km). With the West intentionally ratcheting up tensions with nonstop provocation in recent weeks, (months and years), the normally constrained Putin appears to finally had enough, and is now matching the West’s escalating threats in spades, showing the world he is not afraid of going toe to toe with the US and NATO, even if it means nuclear world war. Whereas the West’s historical pattern of nuclear brinkmanship consists of a steady stream of blusterous bluffing, Putin doesn’t play games or mince words and the Western elite knows this.

But this is what happens when idiots like General Patrick Sanders as newly appointed commander of the British army goes too far with the warmongering rhetoric, publicly telling his troops and world to get ready to fight World War III in Europe against the most powerful nuclear country on earth. He is currently mobilizing the British army for war against Russia, even mentioning to work towards Klaus Schwab’s “4th industrial revolution” against Russia. He’s not working for the people but the ruling elite. And then there’s old US generals like Wesley Clark reminiscing his glory days as NATO commander balkanizing Yugoslavia with his relentless 1999 bombing campaign recently goes public to claim the only way to end the Ukraine conflict is deploying NATO forces against Russia. We’ve never been closer to mushroom cloud madness, all by demonic bloodline design.
