Official Russian response to the American written response to Russian claims on security guarantees in Europe

Note: The website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs might be under DDoS as I cannot reach it.  The following is therefore a UNOFFICIAL machine translation of the Russian reply: The Russian Foreign Ministry has published a written response to the American written response to Russian claims on security guarantees in Europe. On February 17, 2022, US Ambassador John Sullivan, invited to the Russian Foreign Ministry, was given the

Su-35 vs P-8A Poseidon: One and a half meters from the Third World War

by Sergei Ishchenko for Svobodnaia pressa Machine translation source:https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/325462/ Another incident between American and Russian pilots over the Mediterranean should make diplomats hurry up Last week, military pilots of the United States and Russia during mutual maneuvering over the Mediterranean Sea three times found themselves literally a step away from disaster. Dangerous incidents occurred on February 11 and 12, 2022. In all three cases, Russian Su-35 heavy fighters forced the

The insanity resumes full blast (next date of invasion: Feb 20th!) UPDATED!

You think I am kidding? Nope!  See for yourself: In other news, Pavel Klimkin, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared that “the Ukraine won a battle, but not the war yet“. The US spokescreature Ned Price declared that the US now sees more, not fewer, Russian forces along the border than before.  He added the invasion could happen “anytime”. Both of Germany and the USA have declared that there

So, as predicted, absolutely *nothing* has happened (OPEN THREAD)

As always, the Western “free and democratic” media has proven two things: It will parrot whatever “message” the US PSYOPs want it to parrot It lies with a quasi perfect record I suppose, now we are going to hear about how the “western resolve” stopped Putin in his tracks. We need to remember that the window for a false flag attack has not closed yet. So while we can all

If I did not know this is for real…

… I would think that this is some anti-US spoof, based on listening to the most discredited cliches about the USA and the kind of people who run it.  It had everything, frantic flagwaving, hilarious hyperbole, Biden trying to look like Dubya who, himself, was always squinting  his yes à la John Wayne hoping to look like some Sheriff at OK Corral.  It also had all the mantric repetition of

Tu-22M3 and MiG-31 K with Dagger missiles were transferred to Syria

Machine translation from this source: Tu-22M3 and MiG-31 K with Dagger missiles were transferred to Syria to participate in exercises of the Russian Navy The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the crews of the VKS performed a flight from the points of deployment, having overcome more than 1.5 thousand km. MOSCOW, February 15. /tass/. Tu-22M3 and MiG-31K long-range aircraft with Dagger missiles have been transferred to the Khmeimim airbase in

Tomorrow will be a big day (even if nothing happens!)

For starters, a quick reminder here is what the Anglo propaganda machine claims: Okay, then one of two things will happen tomorrow: Option 1: nothing happens Option 2: something happens Option 1: If nothing happens, then, as Lavrov has spelled out recently, the Biden Administration will have to declare that “led by the glorious and invincible USA, and fully united against the Russian aggression, the West has deterred Putin from

The great exodus of the defenders of the Independent Ukraine

All the glorious wannabe defenders of the Independent Ukraine are all on the run.  Literally.  Rumors include that airlines are not insured to fly in Ukie airspace, over 30 oligarchs have already evacuated in their private jets, western embassies are running from Kiev to Lvov, the media publishes invasion maps almost every day, western officials seems to think that the invasion is for tomorrow or Wednesday, folks from the OSCE

Sources in English to use during my short absence

Dear friends, The entire western media is in a full hysterical pitch about an imminent Russian attack.  Embassies and non-critical personnel are being evacuated by most embassies of US colonies in the EU (and beyond, the Japanese are, apparently, also evacuating).  Even though that self same media has promised us a Russian invasion for months and even years, this time around they seem to be even more hysterical than usual.

A few assorted news about what is taking place

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is visiting Moscow.  She met with Lavrov.  The meeting failed to produce anything.  Considering that Truss is this genius who rides around in tanks but does not know that the Baltic States are not on the Black Sea, that is hardly a surprise.  The fact that she refused to consider Voronezh and Rostov as part of Russia was about the only surprise of that meeting (her

Revisiting Russia’s 5th and, especially, 6th columns (UPDATED)

First, the easy one.  Russia has a typical 5th column: pro-western “liberals”, assorted agents of influence, nostalgic of the 90s (when they could plunder Russia as much as they wanted), Washington Consensus types, folks who hate Russia (for whatever reason) and dream of the day Russia will break apart, etc. etc. etc.  They are, objectively, agents of influence for the western PSYOPs.  I coined the term “Atlantic Integrationists” because, at

Unpacking the Russian-Chinese joint statement

Introduction: First things first, this is a very long statement (5300 words).  It is also an extremely important one since it deals primarily with grand strategy issues (it discusses the “whats” not the “hows”).  To put it succinctly, this is a common vision of the future shared between Russia and China.  It is therefore also a common goal setting document.  Considering its scope and objective, this is most definitely a

Putin Xi summit – please post any incoming information

There is so much info (good and bad) about the Putin Xi summit that I decided to create this informational thread. Please try to prioritize sharing factual information and please refrain from 1) offering opinions (it is too early to analyze anything) and 2) making predictions (it is too early to predict anything). Thank you Andrei CLARIFICATION: the point of this post is ONLY to collect facts.  Not options, not

Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development

At the invitation of President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir V. Putin visited China on 4 February 2022. The Heads of State held talks in Beijing and took part in the opening ceremony of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games. The Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, hereinafter referred to as the sides, state as follows. Today, the world is

A small comment about two very stupid notions (+ music video)

I was watching Russian TV yesterday, and here is (roughly) the exchange which took place between the host and one guest.  Here is what they both seemed to agree on: ——-begin nonsense——- Russia has a major problem.  She cannot really deter the USA.  Why?  For two reasons: Russia has truly retreated as far as she can, while the USA have an almost limitless room for maneuver.  The USA is under
