Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Andrei wrote an interesting post about dedollarization.

Elaboration On Macron And BRICS.

Again, why Macron and BRICS. It is an undisputed fact that Emmanuel Macron is a Rothschild's family messenger boy. Even WiKi gives the description of this family's activities on its London-Paris axis.

Both the British and the French branches emerged from the Second World War with new generations of the family at the helm. Historic partnership ties between the two branches were revitalized, leading to a complete merger in 2003 into Rothschild & Co. The Rothschilds created their first hedge funds in 1969, and strengthened its position as a world leader in investment banking. Additionally, the firm is a global private bank with over 4,000 private clients in 90 countries. Rothschild & Co provides a comprehensive range of services to individuals, governments, and corporations worldwide.

This is a classic financial business about moving capitals, much of it being cash. As any hedge funds, Rothschild's funds have analysts--we will omit now their quality issues--who are tasked with assessment of threats and probabilistic analysis designed to preserve and grow the capital. Macron's asking for invitation to BRICS IS NOT an act of espionage or being a Trojan Horse, not at all, it is about trying to negotiate at the fringes of BRICS summit the fate of Rothschild's capitals. The trajectory of the combined West is now well pronounced and the growth of volatility and radical decline are already in progress. This is a bad-bad situation for capital. Money loves stability and calm.

Evidently the truth of SMO started to trickle to those analysts and THE family and even unsophisticated observer can easily surmise now the scale of geopolitical change--it is unprecedented in modern history. It is also metaphysical--cash, even enormous amounts of it, means absolutely nothing if it does not rest on firm foundation of massive military and real economic power. We observe not just the end of the West's hegemony, a much more profound change is in progress--the death of financial capitalism and exposure of money as merely a tool, not the substance. Dedollarization proceeds at an incredible pace. Just today's example:

Finding the alternatives to the US dollar will take time but the global dominance of the greenback has "stifled" many countries and Africa needs to have its own currency, George Sebulela, president of the African United Business Confederation (AUBC), told RT on Wednesday. Sebulela said that African countries having their own currency would make trade easier with each other and even with other countries. "What the US has done with dollarization has really stifled many countries in one way or another," he said. "If you don't toe the line, you are under pressure because you have to utilize this currency," Sebulela said of the US dollar. He said the question for the African Union will be “how do we begin as a continent that is vast, that has so many big opportunities, to then have our own currency that can make our trade much more easy, even with other countries?” This is a discussion that is also taking place within the BRICS group, Sebulela said.

Just one of many, how about this:

Russia has reportedly paid dividends from the Sakhalin 1 and 2 oil projects in Chinese yuan, a shift from its usual practice of paying in dollars, thanks to western sanctions on Russia. The decision to pay in Chinese currency instead of the traditional U.S. dollar comes after Russia was cut off from the US dollar-dominated global payments systems following sweeping sanctions off the Ukraine war.

And how can you do this, people may ask? Simple--because you have the best military in the world and economy which can easily afford and supply it, while allowing the country to grow. Qaddafi didn't have that--he was a leader of a small Arab nation with a lot of cash and minimal military and economic power. He wanted alternative to US Dollar--he got killed. You cannot do this to Russia, because those who try--they get killed in the most violent way. And that is the difference. Libya couldn't produce modern tanks, Russia produces 1,200+ of them a year, all state-of-the-art. Evidently this fact finally "arrived" to Rothschild's family and they desperately try to find the place to park their huge fortunes, before they evaporate due to the collapse of modern West's civilization. Macron is merely a caretaker, nothing more. Hence, "please invite me to BRICS summit". It is also a desperate attempt to grab Putin and Xi's sleeves and try to be heard for a minute. Rothschild's family fortunes want to be guarded by S-400 and T-90Ms with SU-57 instead of Patriot PAC3 and Leopard-2s. That's it, there is nothing more to it.

 
The half-witted drug clown is up to something!
Zelensky said that Russia plans to blow up the Zaporozhye NPP (VIDEO)

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said on NBC News that Russia plans to blow up the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in order to impose its conditions on Kiev.

"Because, just like with the Kakhovka dam, they are not interested in security in Ukraine. They want the world to put pressure on Ukraine for the option they need to end this conflict," Zelensky said.

Naturally, the puppet president does not think about the consequences of such actions, and the fact that the NPP is now on the territory of Russia does not interfere with his reasoning. According to his, to put it mildly, inadequate opinion, the Russians are ready not only to destroy their own nuclear power plant, but also to infect vast territories, as well as to put the health and lives of their fellow citizens at terrible risk.

Only those who do not think about the future, or those who simply do not have it, can think this way. So from Zelensky, such words sound quite logical.

This is something new.
General mobilization was announced in Ivano-Frankivsk region (PHOTO)

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, a general mobilization of those liable for military service has been announced with the mobilization of all vehicles.

This is reported by local media.

The local military enlistment office issued a decree on the mandatory appearance of all military personnel in the city recruitment center within 10 days.

The document also says about the mobilization of vehicles and the prohibition to change their place of residence without the permission of the military commissar.

"Enterprises, institutions, organizations, of all forms of ownership, regardless of their subordination, citizens who are suppliers of vehicles to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, other military formations, to ensure the delivery and transfer of vehicles and equipment on time, in volumes and to the addresses specified in the consolidated (partial) orders for the supply of equipment in the time of mobilization," the decree says.

Полоумный наркоклоун вон чего задумал!
Это что то новенькое.
 
Could someone explain how those Ukrainian tanks and other military vehicles start burning so intensively when they are hit by those realatively small Russian drones? I mean, aren't tanks mostly made of metal and 'really hard stuff'? My wild guess would be that those drones have some kind of super-flammable liquid that spreads at the same time as the explosive detonates. Or is there another mechanism involved?

And as we often see, after a couple of seconds the whole tank sometimes explodes...that's the tank's own shells/projectiles exploding, right?

I've been amazed how effective those drones have been, and just got curious about the details. :cool2:

It’s because some drones use cumulative projectiles or just hit weaker parts of the armour.

Drones have cumulative war heads, same as anti armor cannon shells. It penetrates the armor (tank's hull) and explodes inside the tank, initiating explosions of the tank's own ammunition. Drones strikes from any different angle, for example from the top, where the hull is thiner. The ussual cannon shells cant do that. Plus the fact that Leopard tanks dont have active armor protection like russian tanks (and soviet made). Thats pack of explosives which explode on the impact of shell, anti tank rocket (Javelin, Nlaw, Kornet) or drones. And in that way saving the tank's armor. In last years russians have developed new types of active armor, that have sensors on it and sorts of explpde before the shells hits it, and in that way preserving the armor hull even more.

Just to add, it is believed that british Chalenger and Israel's Merkava tanks have better armor that german or us tanks. French tanks have since always been sort of a common joke. Since the times of Renault tanks. Italians worse even.
 
Earlier in the week at SPIEF ‘23 Zakharova addresses the issue of black market organ harvesting in Ukraine siting a film title “Tanks for the Kidney”:


💬 We have repeatedly spoken and cited facts during briefings, which testify that Ukraine is rapidly turning into one of the world's hubs of "black" transplantation. Many facts were covered in the film "Tanks for the Kidney". It provides further evidence that the Kiev regime dismantles its wounded militants for organs.

❗️ Business is thriving due to the high losses of the APU on the front line. After appropriate surgical procedures, the bodies are burned, relatives are informed that the serviceman is missing. These terrible manipulations are impossible without the permission of the Kyiv regime.

A lot has been done in the country to simplify the "activities" of transplantologists as much as possible. <...> Significantly simplified the procedure for organ removal from the dead, who did not give lifetime consent to donate their organs after death. <…>

Not only public, but also private clinics received the right to conduct transplantation. Can you imagine what a private clinic is on the territory of Ukraine today? <…>

The main beneficiaries of black transplantation schemes in Ukraine are Western countries. And after all, the scenario was worked out in Yugoslavia. All the organs that were confiscated from those who died went to meet the needs and requirements of the Westerners.

For the received military assistance, the Kiev regime is ready to pay with anything, now with the human organs of its own citizens. One day Ukraine will understand why its American and European "friends" really needed it.

☝️ The country was literally put under the “knife”. The patient signed the consent to the procedure. And specialized international structures with persistence worthy of a better application ignore these obvious criminal phenomena.

I will recall the history of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Then, too, much was not noticed and not seen, but then, when the ICTY prosecutor Carla del Ponte retired, she wrote memoirs in which she described this most terrible part and said that no one was punished for these terrible, nightmarish crimes.”

Hung up on this:
One day Ukraine will understand why its American and European "friends" really needed it.

I’m sure Russia has all the dirt, but would be curious to know Maria’s understanding of why they really needed it. 🤔 My mind couldn’t help wander to the Cs reference of Frankensteins…

Adding to what they said there was - there is general ridicule towards Soviet tanks because they are highly explosive (and therefore prone to blowing their turret off) this is due to their compact shape which means that the ammunition is stored together with the crew and other components of the tank (this form brings other advantages such as greater armor without interfering too much with weight and speed)...
now there is some fuss because the same thing happens to Leopards tanks and a video has been seen in which the turret of one of these tanks is ejected upwards about 100 meters... this is not supposed to happen or at least not be so common due to the larger size of western tanks and with this having the ability to save part of their ammunition in a separate sector and limited by hydraulic doors... still these fail or are not so efficient against drones with armor-piercing ammunition, but even that is not entirely true, several Turkish leopard tanks lost their turrets during their raid on Syria vs. RPG ammo.

I may not be very good at English, and I didn't understand at all what kind of dirt you mean. Could you explain?

I think that in general this is a propaganda myth. All tanks are capable of burning, the question lies in the specifics: what kind of weapons to shoot and at what target.
In Syria, there is a known case when a Russian T-90 with open hatches (!) remained intact after being hit by a TOW ATGM. The tank remained intact, and the shell-shocked Syrian crew ran away on their feet. There are also many videos from Yemen, where Saudi Abramses fought against the Houthis. After hitting a Soviet Bassoon or a Russian Cornet, they flared up like matches.
At Putin's last meeting with military correspondents, the president said that the Russian T-90 tank of the latest modification is the best in the world. I think that this person's opinion is worth listening to, he has never been an empty babbler.

Putin called the T-90 "Breakthrough" the best tank in the world 13-06-2023

Я, может не очень силен в английском, и совсем не понял какую грязь вы имеете ввиду. Не могли бы вы пояснить?

Я думаю, что в целом это пропагандистский миф. Танки горят все, вопрос заключается в конкретике: чем стрелять и по какой мишени. В Сирии известен случай, когда российский Т-90 с открытыми люками (!) остался цел после попадания ПТРК TOW. Танк остался цел, а контуженный сирийский экипаж убежал на своих ногах. Также много видео из Йемена, где саудовские Abramses воевали против хуситов. После попадания советского Фагота или российского Корнета они вспыхивали как спички.
На последней встрече Путина с военкорами, президент сказал, что российский танк Т-90 последней модификации- лучший в мире. Я думаю, что к мнению этого человека стоит прислушаться, он никогда не был пустым балаболом.
 
Israel will donate its hundreds of old Merkava 2 & 3 tanks to Ukraine, while keeping and upgrading their brand new Merkava 4 and 5 tanks at home..

Merkava 2 & 3 can carry 6 soldiers, when ammo is unloaded. Cannot kill incoming Anti Tank Guided Missile, although it got improved armor in upgraded versions, which gives some more chance to these oldie Merkavas to survive. But only in theory..
Russian anti-tank guided ammunition - Kornet - is very lethal = unstoppable.
Merkavas have their engines in the front, designed this way by Israeli engineers, so Russians can shoot it more easily. :)

UPGRADES:
- Merkava "Mk 3 Baz" can auto-track tanks and low flying helicopters.
- Five-shell quick loader (not automatic)
- Merkava Mk 3D has stronger, sturdier tracks and The Commander's Independent Sight: Thermal Viewer CITV is a key element of the US Army's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank. It allows tank's commander to search for another targets while tank's gunner is still engaged with previously identified targets

Merkava Mk.2D version has better armor and sensors.

Upgraded Merkava 3 with added stuff is now a bit heavy on bridges with its 65 tons, but has some chance fighting.

So now we know these Merkava 2 and 3 upgraded tanks will burn in Ukraine just as nicely as poor "best" Leopard 2's. :D

Russian salvage companies will be raking in lots of profit by collecting destroyed heavy tanks and light armored vehicle brands hauled into Ukraine from all over the world! Ukraine will be a Destroyed NATO Heavy Armor Museum. :D

Putin made a clear statement about Russia's roadmap forwards - total liberation of Ukraine, by force of arms, and if European armies are deployed, then the fire of war will spread.

I'm not sure, but it seems to clear up several hanging questions, such as a demilitarized zone like in Korea, the possibility of a negotiated peace with the Kiev regime, whether or not Russia will recapture Odessa, link with Transnistria, abandon Galicia to Poland, etc. Looks like the original goals of the SMO still stand. The war may go on for a long time yet, given how large the territory in question.


“We were forced to try to end the war that the West started in 2014 by force of arms. And Russia will end this war by force of arms, freeing the entire territory of the former Ukraine from the United States and Ukrainian Nazis. There are no other options. The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West. The more weapons there are, the fewer Ukrainians and what used to be Ukraine will remain. Direct intervention by NATO’s European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too.”
