Foreign Ministry’s statement
On July 27, the US Congress passed a new bill on tougher anti-Russia sanctions. This measure is further proof of the Unites States’ extremely hostile foreign policy. Hiding behind its sense of superiority, the United States arrogantly ignores the stances and interests of other countries.
It is common knowledge that the Russian Federation has been doing everything in its power to improve bilateral relations, to encourage ties and cooperation with the US on the most pressing issues on the international agenda including fighting terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, illegal drug trafficking, illegal migration, cybercrime, etc. Our understanding has been that we can only solve these global problems if we work together. We believe the majority of people in the world share this approach.
Meanwhile, the United States is using Russia’s alleged interference in its domestic affairs as an absolutely contrived excuse for its persevering and crude campaigns against Russia. This activity contradicts the principles of international law, the UN Charter, WTO regulations and, simply, the standards of civilised international communication.
The United States continues to pass more unlawful sanctions against Russia, to seize Russia’s diplomatic property, which is formalised in binding bilateral documents, and to deport Russian diplomats. This is clearly a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and generally recognised diplomatic practices.
The adoption of the new sanctions bill is an obvious indication that relations with Russia are being dragged down by political infighting in the United States. Moreover, the new bill uses political means to create a dishonest competitive advantage for the US in the global economy. This blackmail aimed at restricting Russia’s cooperation with its foreign partners threatens many countries and international businesses.
Despite Washington’s constant outbursts, we have adhered to responsible and reserved behaviour and have not responded to express provocations until now. However, the latest events confirm that certain circles in the US are fixated on Russophobia and open confrontation with our country.
– Therefore, we request that our American counterparts bring the number of diplomatic and technical staff at the US Embassy in Moscow, the consulates general in St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok, into strict correspondence with the number of Russian diplomats and technical staff currently working in the United States, until September 1, 2017. This means that the total number of American diplomatic and consular office employees in the Russian Federation must be reduced to 455 people. In the event of further unilateral action on behalf of US officials to reduce the Russian diplomatic mission in the US, we will respond accordingly.
– Starting August 1, the use of all the storage facilities on Dorozhnaya Street in Moscow and the country house in Serebryany Bor will be suspended from use by the US Embassy.
Russia reserves the right to resort to other measures affecting US’ interests on a retaliatory basis.
So far, even the Western mainstream media have been quite unable to find a negative angle on Russia in this matter. I have read The Guardian, The Washington Post and The New York Times, and they restrict themselves to reporting the facts. Surprisingly, they all claim that they don’t know how many US embassy staff there are in Russia – a figure which I would expect any reputable journal, let alone a “paper of record” to have at its fingertips.
There is some uncertainty as to the cause of the Russian measure. One journalist appears to suggest that it is in retaliation against the congressional bill, but all three papers mention Obama’s provocation.
> they all claim that they don’t know how many US embassy staff there are in Russia
Oh, even US diplomats themselves do not know.
John Tefft says he GUESSES there was no that much a stuff in Russia.
I never cease to marvel at the thought and style Russia displays when interacting diplomatically with the hysterical and nonsensical actions of the US. This is a perfect example–rather than simply ordering the deportation of 35, or 70, or some such number of US “diplomats,” they simply order that the number shall be reduced to precisely the number of Russian personnel in the US. It makes any whining by the US look completely unfounded, while subtly pointing out that the US has been abusing its diplomatic courtesies for ages, having far more personnel than correspond with their “partner.” Another Russian gratuitous display of brilliance.
I am curious about the precise number of Americans being cut. One source implied “hundreds,” which wouldn’t surprise me, but be interesting to know.
This story from earlier today suggests the number of US diplomats in Russia will be reduced from 1,000 to 455.

” It makes any whining by the US look completely unfounded, while subtly pointing out that the US has been abusing its diplomatic courtesies for ages, having far more personnel than correspond with their “partner.”
Exactly, thanks for pointing that out. The Russians thought it through very carefully before acting and made a move that the zionazi quislings and zio-gay media will have a difficult time countering in their usual propagandistic manner.
Another positive aspect of the Russian move is this will actually do much of the work for them in identifying those americans working through the embassy who are most important to the zionazis destabilisation and sabotage ops in Russia.
By this I mean the americans will pull out their least important people, leaving the core operators. Thus reducing the amount of chaff Russian intelligence has to sift through to separate the wheat.
At the same time, the huge reductions will reduce the zionazi effectiveness inside Russia without Russia having to lean on the ngos and other orgs and people as much. Another gain for Russia, since the zionazis get hysterical every time Russia curtails one of their fraudulent orgs.
Given the scale of the embassy reductions, one can safely guess the workload of the remainding personnel will be greatly increased and their individual effectiveness reduced.
Plus, it gives Russia a method to control quantity of American diplomats without further fuss.
I mean at every moment Russian embassy in US may move 100 workers back to Russia and then request US EMB in Russia to do the same.
A lemming continues the motions of running after the ground has fallen away.
next:
worldwide expulsion of US diplomats that are spies & agitprops anyways
the quarantine of the US begins now!
Wondering why the BDS meme hasn’t been brought around and pointed at the indispensable nation above all nations. What’s the difference, really, between the indispensables and the zionists?
“What’s the difference, really, between the indispensables and the zionists?”
Easy. The indispensable nation is Zion’s pet name for its main host, the US corporation. Zion, as extra-territorial nation, relies on its host nations to advance its policies of ecocide and genocide on its behalf. In a race to prove their indispensability to their parasitic overlord, the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Korea, Japan, Taiwan outdo each other as far as corruption, surveillance, racketeering, war crimes, bullying its citizen, etc. are concerned. To no avail. Only Zion remains indispensable.
I wonder which it is.
Is president Trump a liar and a cheat, welshing on agreements he made?
Or has there been a coup d’état and the government of the United States been overthrown by the “deep state” and president Trump has no power to affect the behavior of the country?
The second.
Besides the ‘Deep State’ there is also a fully functional secret ‘shadow government’ involved: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-10/deep-state-unelected-shadow-government-here-stay
The Donald is quite powerless. But I enjoy daily that he starts to tweet, and immediately the internet goes into DEFCON 1.
The bill is insane, while based on zero evidence. Even further, experts from the NSA have established that the files on the DNC server have been copied locally, and transferred to an external data drive.
The best Trump could do, is not signing the bill and hand it over to the Supreme Court with abovementioned reasons. It has simply no legal ground.
Signing it might have serious consequences. Just imagine that Russia closes its airspace for all flights coming from ‘sanctioning’ countries, flying to southeast Asia? It will just kill those companies.
And do you think the German industries, already battered by the present sanctions, will accept this? Merkel will be dead.
Instead, the USA will archieve exactly what they have battled for many decades: the cooperation between Germany and Russia.
Speaking of closure of airspaces….
https://www.dailysabah.com/europe/2017/07/28/russian-deputy-pms-plane-barred-from-eu-airspace
NATO needs a whack – pronto.
Unless this denial of airspace was suspected/known before the aircraft took off then endangering lives should fall nicely under international aviation rules and be grounds for criminal prosecution:

I watched some of the Senate ‘proceedings’ including the return from the dead for one last evil act, of McCain. I could only conclude that the same demons who possessed the Gadarene Swine have inhabited the body politic of the USA. I am no longer certain that nuclear strikes on them will suffice. They need an army… of priests.
………or an army of exorcists, or of prayer warriors, engaged in constant prayer. Seriously.
Not going to happen but:
Imagine Russia refusing to sell rockets to USA and putin telling them to buy from Iran.
It’s difficult to ask the right questions about Trump.
To understand what’s going on, we need more than a list of what Trump has and has not done. One obvious fact should give pause to everyone: Trump is hated by the Deep State, and by all the Lying Media. Everyone knows there’s a long list of bad guys (and some bad girls) who want Trump gone. These people are doing everything possible to get rid of him, and they don’t care about the cost to America, to US relations with its “allies”, to American self-interest, or even the damage to America’s most valuable asset, its self-respect.
In a less-complicated world, the enemy of our enemy would be our friend, and we would simply support Trump. But the real world is more difficult, so we must raise our level of analysis and action in order to succeed. Being against or for Trump is beside the point. Trump has done bad things, such as ordering the killing of Syrians, and offering support to the UkroNazis. We can’t accept that anymore, like we did under Obama – to our deep regret and shame. We have to speak out against Trump’s crimes as much as against the crimes of the Deep State.
Most importantly, we have to build within America a fresh political party to get rid of the Democrat Party and Republican Party, who have both proven treasonous and poisonous. Everyone knows this, but we have – as yet – not even stated to do anything about it. We have to start by unfolding a big, big tent that most people can fit inside. We can form a long queue for volunteer speakers after we erect a stage, but really the first thing we need is a respectable big tent, so all the 99% can feel welcome.
at Jean-David, and all posters here,
Everyone here in the USA wants to know as well. Some who voted for him cling to hope Trump has not been totally emasculated by ‘opponents’, while others like myself have come to believe he was a Judas Goat and a liar from day one of his Presidential Campaign.
Surely the USA is no longer a democracy. The Deep State of oligarchs and corporate interests, the war-mongering neocons, the prostitute lawmakers (99% of them have sold their souls), and the Zionist controlled media now call all the shots.
Who, possessed of any morality and compassion, could not support international cooperation and peace?
I do not see how ‘Democracy’ could survive in the existing state of the USA which is Talmudo-Satanic. The tribe or various tribes could exist, on the level of demon-possessed herds of swine, but there would certainly be no place for the individual. Democracy pre-supposes the existence of some kind of persons/individuals who make rational choices. Without individuals there is no Democracy.
It is not for nothing that one of the great ancient epithets of Satan is ‘the formless one’ as opposed to God, who symbolizes and is the creator of form and order and in whose ‘likeness’ humans are made.
Coup.
He never got to be President.
He’s Leader, but not empowered fully in all the crucial policy areas of the Executive.
They have stopped him dead on domestic policies also.
No healthcare repeal and replace. No tax cuts, tax reforms, repatriation or infrastructure funding.
His Presidency is barebones. His nominations will take 11 years to get Senate approval at the rate they are being slow-walked.
So, Russia detente is off the table. And Russophobia and destabilization is the policy.
It began when he agreed to shove Flynn out.
He’s compromised without getting anything. The Art of the Deal has been blunted and shoved up his butt.
However, he does have the people behind him and he will charge back at his enemies, all of whom have surfaced.
It will be a rocky future. But it’s been war from the start.
Deep State and UniParty Elites won’t give up the government to the People.
Trump is battling them.
And they intend to destroy the nation as a sovereign republic in order to run the world as Hegemonic Feudal Lords.
Russia and China stand in their way for that goal.
He is a visionary and leader. He is not a good manager. His staff is inferior.
The psy-ops being used on him turns his ego and needs into real weaknesses.
But, he will get another shot at gathering momentum in the coming months.
All he needs is one big win in Congress or a military success somewhere. Neither are likely, but both are possible.
What kind of military win can you imagine?
I shudder to think.
Venezuela. This is old hat, Western Hemisphere, CIA-Southern Command, with plenty of right wing militaries to help. Also, it pits Trump vs Cuba. Cubans are big factor in Venezuela.
Big US manpower nearby in Colombia.
Easiest of all the potential situations around the globe.
It also punches China and Russia in the nose.
And the US can put 30,000 men into it if they need a huge force to assure success.
No downside. They will bribe the military there, and decapitate the government.
Bigger than Panama was, but very likely.
There’s something going on behind scenes between Russia and Venezuela right now. I hope for the best as a Venezuelan citizen myself.
And Chavez changed the Military with a new doctrine, the opposition has 18 years trying to do a coup against the goverment and failed so far. There are some traitors there but no with enough support inside the troops.
One of the main weakness of Trump is that he is not taking seriously his own words or better said, he forgets that a president cannot speak out just in the air. Those outspoken words have lead him to many controversies. Putin, on the contrary, what he spoken out years ago, he stands for them today, and when he speaks, he is taking seriously what he is talking (not in vain). How can you trust a person at such a high position when he contradicts himself in a matter of weeks or months ? And that is what Trump did, the consequences are on the table. He managed to put himself in the corner, going deeper and deeper till something has to happen. What would be the choices ? not easy at all.
Will he take this opportunity with this “famous” bill and stand up and fight as a hero, or letting the cards fallen down, together with himself from the tower.
I happen to think that the previous presidents (at least the previous 2-3 presidents) were nothing more than ceremonial puppets either, completely removed from decision-making that mattered. Obama’s case was especially glaring. So from this perspective the coup took place quite some time ago.
Perhaps the only difference with Trump is that he may have entertained the illusion that he would be able to make some decisions, and maybe he hasn’t completely accept yet that he won’t.
In any case, the forces pulling the strings of this monstrosity called the US are more and more repulsive. One wonders how the word “democracy” can even be invoked without inducing nausea on those who use it.
This annoncement requesting the US to reduce its dipolomatic mission in Moscow to the same number as Russia’s in Washington is a good one. I wonder if it will be really carried out. In any case, a lot more of tit for tat is needed to show Russia means business.
Most definitely a coup d’etat against the sitting President of The United States of America and this coup started before he even took office and indeed started before President Trump won the election.
I think even President Trump was stunned at the opposition and vitriol he faced from the moment the election results were known. I have no doubts that he has tried to make deals as he is wont to do and each and every deal he has made with the Deep State has resulted in another knife in his back and another betrayal. My only advice to him is stop that damned ‘tweeting’, grow a pair and fight the bastids as hard as possible, those who elected you are still behind you as is 90% of the Armed Forces. Damn it, get to work, fight them and win!
Here, approval for President Putin’s actions of today are very high. Perfect response to all the provocations starting with Obama’s little trick the day before he left office, one of many, to all the senseless ‘sanctions’ foisted on Russia since January. The numbers of personnel and staff at US diplomatic facilities in Russia is in excess of 1200 and this includes Russian and foreign employees, none of whom are with the ‘Putin program’. There is probably 3 times that number when you toss in the families and hangers on. The cuts in American cadre will include not only Americans but significant numbers of Russian and foreign workers. Going to be lots of tears in the next days. The confiscations of diplomatic physical facilities was a nice touch and well thought out. No one missed that little thorn in the nether regions here.
Teft, the US Ambassador, is the charming lad who laid the groundwork for maidan in Kiev. His able replacement, Jeffrey Y. Pyatt, did the follow through of the plan with alacrity. I have no doubts that Teft planned a ‘maidan’ for next year before or during the elections and his carefully laid plans have now come to naught. Teft actually had the nerve to complain about President Putin’s response to the sanctions and diplomatic affronts since last November, studiously ignoring the steadily increasing sanctions and diplomatic abnormalities tossed at Russia by his Department of State. I wonder if he, like McCain, is trying to wash the blood off his hands as another famous villain did. Hope he’s successful because I’m sure the Dark Lord is rubbing his cloven hooves with glee awaiting his two best minions who should arrive to his dark ‘kingdom’ soon.

Trump is a tool, literally and figuratively, and if they wanted him gone he would be thrown into oblivion or dead from some ‘lone gun’ nutcase, air travel ‘accident’ or maybe even a nice heart attack just for varieties sake. He is a rich self obsessed 1%er doing exactly what he is told to do, always has been and always will be. Just like the Bill and Monica show was a cover for the brutal partitioning of Yugoslavia the Donald the moron show is a cover for their current machinations. Trumps presidency is no more ‘hijacked’ than Obama’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s……. was. Just tools being used for their created purpose.
“All he needs is one big win in Congress or a military success somewhere”
Typical US mentality. To be popular/useful/presidential he needs to kill more people. Don’t worry the way things are progressing there will be enough dead bodies to make any lame ignoramus US billionaire “PRESIDENTIAL” and cement Donald’s place as the United States greatest, if last, President.
Those two things do not have to be mutually exclusive.
There has indeed been a coup by the deep state. It actually has been going on for some time before Trump, but now it is extensive, and almost out in the open. I suspect that no POTUS has really been completely in charge of the things they are supposed to be constitutionally in charge of since the anti-Communist hysteric, political-machine hack and armchair Cold Warrior Harry Truman signed off on the creation of all the secret agencies. It was somewhat the case even before that.

Most definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely the first.
The first. Or to use kinder language, he is a classic flim-flam man. I was hoping he would keep some of his campaign promises , but like Obama he is all talk.
During the campaign he says Yellen is keeping interest rates low to help Obama and that the stock market wad in a bubble. Now he likes low interest rates, Yellen, and the stock market is high because of his policies. He was going to drain the Swamp but fills his cabinet with Goldman Sachs swamp creatures. Going to end regime change but bombs Syria. Etc.,etc.
since the senate voted 98 to 2 for this bill, and EVERY senator/rep HAS to sign the pledge or suffer the consequences (see Cynthia McKinney/Kusinich (sp?)) it deninitely means this is an AIPAC bill. Hence the term ”occupied zioinst washington”.
deep state is another term for the hidden but the above is right out there in the open for anyone with an ounce of curiosity.
Congressmen should wear t-shirts with sponsors emblems, like NASCAR pilots do…
The RBC reports that there are currently over 1000 American diplomats working in Russia, which means that for 30 Russian diplomats expelled from the US, Russia sends back home just over 500 Americans. That is a nice pay back.
This means that one Russian is worth exactly 16.666666(!) Americans. In my experience, that is about right.
I think Putin is sending a message to Trump: Grow a pair dude, just like I did; before it’s too late for you and entire world in general. It’s Trump’s move to make a strategy to overpower deep state with backup from majority of people of Usa who voted for changes and who know very well what’s at stake.
I don’t mean to “excuse” Trump. I think he has by now turned himself into a “fellow traveler” for the neo-con agenda.And so is mostly a lost cause. Even if he survives as US President (which is very debatable in today’s World).
I think he started out with “some” good ideas. But has been stopped by the deep state with almost all of them. And his advisers,who themselves represent various deep state interests. Have warned him against trying to keep going with his ideas, that affect the core deep state agenda (war with Russia).
He was probably told,if he didn’t stop and join them,the deep state of “both parties” would destroy him.And he fearfully caved in to them to save himself. Ultimately,I doubt it will save him.The deep state doesn’t trust him,even when he sides with them.And they want a President they trust they can control 100% of the time.
A comparison with the early Putin isn’t valid. Trump ,though a “maverick” throughout his career. Came from the moneyed elite in the US.Unlike Putin who came from “the people” and worked his way up in life through the tangled webs of the security services.He didn’t need to “grow a pair”. They were grown through his upbringing and early life. In Trumps case,making mistakes in his career might have cost him money.And in Putin’s,making mistakes could have cost him his life.They had very different life experiences to learn from.
Unlike Trump,who can’t trust any of those around him to put “the nation” above their personal gain. Putin has surrounded himself (to a great extent) with people from the old security services. Whose devotion to the “Rodina” has always been their life.He (as far as we can see) can trust them not to betray him. While Trump probably has to check daily for a “knife in the back” from his “supporters” around him.
I don’t think Putin (and Russia) can any longer hope for change in the US political system. There was a “glimmer” of hope that “candidate Trump”,if elected,might improve relations.But “President” (I sold out to the deep state) Trump,is a lost cause. While “maybe” better than the total Russophobe Clinton. Trump will not be a “white Knight” saving the World from the US neo-cons. At best he will be a “gray Knight” not pushing the neo-con agenda as quickly as Clinton would have.
> the core deep state agenda (war with Russia).
And now US AF wish to purchase samples “Russian ( not Uktrainian ) Caucasian” tissue.
Why would US of A ever need them? It is not like US ever could have biochem labs in Georgia and Ukraine, right?
In political area when a form is created and followed over time and becomes custom and law this form, for example the traditions of diplomacy, create a reality.
Contra-wise, the destruction of forms in the political arena by any particular State may be seen as just the opposite of reality – delusion.
Ok, delusion with atomic and biological “weapons”….what could go wrong?
The Russian response is minimal for a good reason – do not unnecessarily antagonize a delusional class that has infernal gadgets…
Alas, what must happen – an accommodation by the delusional class of the reality of a unified Heartland and the necessity of relinquishing suzerain controls over the Rimlands – is economically not possible without “excessive” civil travail in “Die Heimat” (the renamed “Homeland”…)
This is precisely the definition of a Singularity.
Math educated people will recognize this term in the political arena….it fits.
Singularities create both sudden change (violence, usually) and revolutions in living and understanding. When Singularity exists the resolution becomes inevitable. The forms of resolution may vary…
Thus it matters who’s doing what, but that Big Change is proximate cannot be changed…. the train runs away with itself…. small maters, especially in war, make big changes, sometimes…
The expulsions may disrupt intelops…wanna bet they do not? That can matter…
PBS is releasing a massive propaganda series against Russia. All the lies we love, plus more!
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/27/pbs-anti-russia-propaganda-series/
The two video journalists by the name of Nick Schifrin and Zack Fannin, created the 5-part series that is currently shown on the PBS website. They are paid operatives for the militarists that control American foreign policy. They disguise themselves by covering human rights issues in depressed countries to present “balanced reporting”. They primarily write for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, one of many NGO operations funded by the Deep State.
Take a look at their body of work here:
http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting?keys=&date_filter%5Bmin%5D%5Bdate%5D=&date_filter%5Bmax%5D%5Bdate%5D=&author%5B%5D=231749&author%5B%5D=231750
You can see and hear 15 articles created by these tag-team Russian bashers that paint the Russian government as oppressors and aggressors. Just more negative cold war propaganda that President Putin has to to endure.
Nick Schifrin comes over as a glib, sneery uber slimebag. To get the measure of him watch this -if you can:

It is less toxic in smaller doses so the first 15 mnutes may for some hardy individuals be below the barf bag threshold. To my enduring shame I was only able to tolerate one minute at a time chunks of this septic tank muck.
He mentions the freak Masha Gesssen early on and Crimea is mentioned at around 12 minutes, I think.
http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting/nick-schifrin-discusses-russia-reporting-pbs-newshour-facebook-live
He talks a lot about Russian propaganda but what would he call his production if not propaganda?
Interesting that they “both” have names that sound to be of Jewish background. I can’t find full bio’s for them ,so can’t be sure. But since almost every second MSN reporter is of Jewish background (as is also true of neo-cons in general). The likelihood of two Russophobic reporters doing a trash report on Russia having zionist supporting Jewish roots is very strong.There used to be a very anti-Russian and untrue saying “scratch a Russian and you find a Tatar”. But on the other hand it could truly be said in today’s World. Scratch a Russophobe reporter,and you find a zionist Jew”.
Shifirin’s parents and early upbringing are curiously absent everywhere but your correlation is strong:

Half-truth and Falsehoods in PBS Series “Inside Putin’s Russia”
http://www.globalresearch.ca/half-truth-and-falsehoods-in-pbs-series-inside-putins-russia/5601434
“Conclusion
In 2002-3 American media failed to question or challenge the assertions of the CIA and politicians pushing for the invasion of Iraq. At that time, the false pretense was that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat to the US.
Much of the media and many of the same politicians are now claiming Russia is an adversary that has “attacked us”. This claim is being widely made without serious question or challenge. “Liberal” media seems to be in alliance with hawkish neoconservatives on this issue. Virtually any accusation against Russia and its leader can be made with impunity and without serious evidence.
The documentary “Inside Putin’s Russia” aims to expose Russian repression, aggression and disinformation. As shown in the many examples above, the five part documentary is highly biased and inaccurate. While it shows some features of Russia, it also demonstrates American propaganda in the current tumultuous times.”
The Deep State is all about keeping the pot boiling until the climate clock runs out.
Which happens sooner than most can imagine.
Climate clock runs out? NASA just announced that the sea level lowered in the past 2 years.
And they try to scare us with climate doom and and rising seas. Look at the historic temperature record and put the CO2 levels next to it. No correlation, none.We’re actually low on CO2, plants grow bigger and faster up to 1600 ppm CO2. We’re around 400 ppm, plants die off if it falls below 185 ppm to 225 ppm, depending on which plants. There have been levels of 8000 ppm in earth history, and it wasn’t extremely warm.
And several clean energy generators have been invented past century, if they worried even one bit they could decimate our fuel needs. In 1973 a Opel P1 car build in ’59 was modified to maximize fuel efficiency, it did 376mpg/160km L. And they improved a lot in the mean time. Main feature, besides the weight reduction, that had most impact on the fuel efficiency was that the car vaporized the fuel and turned it into gas before injection into the pistons. And the engine was entirely insulated to maintain it’s heat I suppose. The car is on display in a museum in the US.

Don’t fall for their lies.
A US stooge nation,in this case Romania is rapidly signing their own death warrant. I think its time for Russia to deal harshly with this stooge.And made it plain to all others than they “must never ever” follow their lead.The very first step,one of many I’d recommend.Would be to order the Romanian Ambassador to a meeting with the Russian FM. The second step would be to tell Romania if they ever try that again a fleet of fighters and bombers will accompany the next plane. Followed by missiles if need be.Its obvious the NATO stooges want to “push the envelop” until they get a military response. They have about reached that point.And its time to make that clear to them.
https://www.rt.com/news/397846-romania-russian-passenger-plane-rogozin/
Here are some details : the plane with Rogozin at board had taken of from Russia and went through the air space of Poland and Slovakia without any interdiction, then went through Hungarian air space when the Romanians denied the access. After that, the plane has turned and asked the Hungarian tower for permission to land and refuel which they denied. Then, on the same route, they landed at Minsk because of fuel shortage. Two days ago, a Russian group of artists (singers and musicians) had the same fate, having the same destination : Chisinau. The Moldavian president Igor Dodon kept a short (20 min) press-conference which is on tube in Romanian and Russian subt. In short : the president slammed harshly the Romanian refusal saying that “nothing will be forgotten” and “time will change”. He also said, ” at the board of that plane where many Moldovan people who actually are working in Russia” (the number of Moldovan citizens working in Russia is 540.000)
“… Romania is rapidly signing [its] own death warrant …”
“… The very first step …”
“… The second step …”
All of this is my own wishful thinking too. A noble dream, lets out some steam.
The reality is, unfortunately, that none of it matters an iota.
Like the RF FM’s “solemn statement” above: you can bet Trump & his gang are (once again!…) laughing like crazy just reading it… Words are not a serious response to serious actions … and the villains know it and count on it.
There is a positive side to this. These sanctions are illegal, they are against international law, they violate the WTO and common decency to be quite frank… if they have to resort to this, it means they are looking at desperate in the rear view mirror.
The US is crumbling, it’s crumbling fast and they are panicking that their hegemony is going to land on the trash pile of failed empires before long. These sanctions will piss off Europe to no end, some, like the idiots in Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia will all cave instantly and continue crawling up the backside of their starsy and stripey overlords in a never ending battle against their own inferiority complex, West from there however, I think we’ll see, at the very least, very polarising responses across the board. This could end up sinking the EU.
First Trump says they need to spend more on NATO, which means more than twice the current amount for some countries, which they can scrape together if need be. Then there are the idiotic sanctions they were pushed into 3 years ago, which are still in effect and continue to hurt them with no sign of lifting them in sight, which are also illegal by the way. Now the US expects them to pay 3-4 times compared to now for their energy needs. Europe is neck deep in debt as it is, complying with US demands on this would bankrupt them and in my opinion, is plain treason. Driving your country and it’s future into the wall to save the damned empire is beyond betrayal.
I’ve just read Pat Buchanan’s latest column. It looks like Trump might be out his current job pretty soon. (Unless he agrees to do everything he is told). He has no cards left.
http://buchanan.org/blog/trump-entering-kill-box-127396
Inasmuch I don’t particularly admire Buchanan, he appears to be quite correct here.
I wonder … would this hasten the dissolution of the US?
And would the current erratic Congress resolution(s) hasten such demise, as some here seem to think? Note, however, the “blogosphere” had been self-righteously “predicting” the “final days of America” for many, many years – in 2007-8 for instance – but absolutely nothing ever happened!…
Trump Setting Stage for War With Iran – US Advocacy Group
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707291055982340-trump-setting-iran-war/
“President Donald Trump is preparing for a military confrontation with Iran, National Iranian American Council President Trita Parsi said in an opinion article.
“Trump will refuse to accept that Iran is in compliance and thereby set the stage for a military confrontation,” Parsi wrote in an article for LobeLog. “Rarely has a sinister plan to destroy an arms control agreement and pave the way for war been so openly telegraphed.”
Parsi cited reports in the US media that Trump only reluctantly agreed to verify Iran’s compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement on the condition that his cabinet members find another way for him to blow up the deal by October.
Trump’s advisers reportedly suggested that the president use the spot-inspections mechanism of the nuclear agreement to insist on access to Iran’s military sites — a demand the Islamic Republic would almost certainly reject, Parsi wrote.
“Once Iran balks — which it will since the mechanism is only supposed to be used if tangible evidence exists that those sites are being used for illicit nuclear activities — Trump can claim that Iran is in violation, blowing up the nuclear deal while shifting the blame to Tehran,” Parsi said.”
If one looks at the direction the tuppence regime has taken in the ME, it’s been obvious Iran is the primary target of it. Trump is no maverick, he is a zionazi puppet, pure and simple. There is no deep state vs trump, that is the usual zionazi smoke and mirrors.
Any country that has huge oil deposits and doesn’t promise to only sell it for US Dollars is a target. Iran, Venezuela, Russia for instance.
One small piece of “good” news is that Derek harvey has been booted from the Nati Security Council, allegedly by challenging mattis. harvey is a crony of flynn and is a rabid hawk on Iran.

Trump Intends to Sign New Bill on Russia Sanctions
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707291055984405-trump-intends-sign-russia-sanctions-bill/
“The White House stated that Donald Trump has reviewed legislation on Russia sanctions that passed the Congress earlier this week and plans to sign it.”
Yeah, like was it ever in doubt that israel’s buttboi wouldn’t sign this aipac generated bill?
This news is very important, critically important and very much related to the war on Russia being pursued by the zionazis through their colonial quisling regimes, especially through their pindo tuppence regime.
‘Weaponizing viruses’? US Air Force places ad for bio samples from Russians
https://www.rt.com/usa/397883-us-airforce-russian-rna-sample-tender/
“The US Air Force is looking to acquire samples of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and synovial fluid from Russians, according to a government website used to place tenders. The reason behind the order hasn’t been specified.
The Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command has placed a listing on the Federal Business Opportunities website asking for at least 12 RNA samples from Russian people of a European ancestry, as well as 27 samples of synovial fluid.
Suppliers of the samples must meet a number of requirements.
“All Normal Human Fresh Frozen (FF) Synovial Tissue and Normal Human Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) samples must be Russian / Caucasian origin,” reads the contract’s technical specifications. “All FF Synovial tissue and RNA samples must come from normal donors, who have no musculoskeletal injuries. This shall be confirmed by pathology. All FF synovial tissue must have a weight greater than or at a minimum of 0.25 grams.
“All RNA samples must be frozen. Synovial Tissues and RNA samples can be unmatched, meaning from different donors. All Synovial Tissue and RNA samples must be HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis negative.”
In addition, information on donors must be provided with the samples, including their sex, age, ethnicity, smoking history, medical history, height, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). The samples must be delivered to the Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas, within 10 days after the contractor receives the money.
All samples must “be collected from Russia and must be Caucasian. The Government will not consider tissue samples from Ukraine,” the contract added.
But Igor Nikulin, a former member of the UN commission on biological weapons, noted that the RNA samples can be used to develop viruses.
“New types of biological weapons are being developed. There’s nothing else that could possibly interest the military department. Most likely, they are weaponized viruses,” Nikulin told RT. “The US is trying to develop various types of biological weapons specifically for specific carriers of this gene pool, and Caucasoids are needed since they constitute the majority of the population of our country.
“This is the same focus group for which they are trying to find the samples. It’s necessary for the viruses to act selectively on one or another ethnic group.”
That Russian friendly trump critter has ordered his air force to create a virus specifically targeting Russians.
‘if the fight is inevitable, one should strike first’
– maybe it’s time to follow your own advice, mr. putin?
some might agree, Comrade…https://journal-neo.org/2017/07/28/the-operation-barbarossa-ii-file-but-who-will-prosecute/
But infernal gadgets in possession of all relevant agents or States make the execution of a Policy another matter. These make attack suicidal. Worse, they deny victory…make peace worthless as death – which is the peace violence offers. Death.
Thus the problem is not “striking first”, but how to do it…
The Flag follows the money…and the money goes to the reality-based States…
Adapting without violence is the way,,,but of course this finds natural resistance…
Seen this way the “sanctions” are the device whereby the basis of the suzerain controls of occupied Europe are to be exploded…and whereby the Imperial army will be, in time, forced to depart Europe.
Is this the intent? Does it matter?
Meantime, of course, Imperial Forces may well attack Ivan….which would make the retreat more complicated…but still inevitable…
Yes, Russian ‘red lines’ have been declared before. Then crossed again. At some point no has to mean no. Unless they can’t or won’t enforce them. In which case the encroaching party is merely encouraged to advance again.
I wouldn’t place much stock in that. It is nothing but scare tactics. Bio weapons have the nasty propensity to backfire, and much of Europe and thus America shares a certain amount of Viking ancestry with caucasian Russians. That includes me, with my Viking name from Sweden via Britain and then America, now sitting here in Japan. Also, note that when the rogue cult Aum Shinrikyo released anthrax spores over Tokyo, nothing happened. Thus I would interpret this as just an unfriendly bit of psychological pressure, best dealt with with a quick roll of the eyes.
PO
“I wouldn’t place much stock in that. Thus I would interpret this as just an unfriendly bit of psychological pressure, best dealt with with a quick roll of the eyes.”
Don’t worry, move right along, folks, nothing to see here. Over there is a pile of sand you can stick your head into if you feel inclined.
“It is nothing but scare tactics.”
That is nonsense. When the zionazis set their sights on Crimea, there were similar ads, that time for contractors to build infrastructure for the “incoming” u.s. occupation forces. It is seamingly innocent or unrelated actions, like that, which provide indicators of where potential trouble will be directed at. Intelligence people know this very well, and spend much of their time combing non secret things such as contract placements, ads, people reassignments, etc. Often these point to a larger, secret op being initiated.
That Russia front paged this news at RT indicates the Russian government took this potential threat seriously. Exposing these kinds of covert ops early, as they are being set up, is the best way to nullify them. Waiting till later, when the covert ops are actually on the ground running is too late.
“Bio weapons have the nasty propensity to backfire, and much of Europe and thus America shares a certain amount of Viking ancestry with caucasian Russians.”
Every population group have genetic traits specific to them. Current genetic tech allows the targeting of specific genes. The reason the usaf wanted the genetic material from Caucasian Russians is to look for genes this population has that are specific only to them. They will then design their bioweapon around those genes so it will target only those with those genes.
Your comparison with anthrax is apples and oranges and worthless nonsense.
I agree. As in “all” cases,when a bully plans to attack you. The “only” way to prevent that attack (when that’s even possible)is to convince them they will suffer as badly or worse from attacking you. Russia must let the US know that any development and use of biological weapons will be “matched and surpassed” by Russian biological weapons.The US has no problem with plotting the deaths of Russians. But “do” have a big problem with their own deaths in exchange.If they understand they will die by Russian biological weapons,they will not dare to use that type of weaponry against Russia.
WWI showed the effectiveness of chemical weapons. And that convinced “both sides” in WWII to fear using them against each other. Just as the USSR obtaining nuclear weapons was the main reason the US never attacked the USSR. The “equality of fear” has always been a way to prevent enemies from fighting. And I suspect it will always have to be the way to prevent war. Counting on the “goodness” of human nature. And the use of “international law” to prevent war is a losing argument.And those counting on those things are at the very best,being naive. And at worse,signing their own death warrants.
Hmmm, America is possibly developing biowarfare weapons specific to a particular ethnicity? Add this to the ever increasing list of crimes against humanity that America needs to be punished for.
Truly, the United States will surpass Nazi Germany in its crimes and moral outrages–if it hasn’t done so already.
The only thing more disturbing is how some people still cling to the deception that America is a “force for good” in the world–when it is much more of a force for evil.
More Russian “soft bashing” from another intrepid western journalist, Nick Schifrin.
See: https://www.facebook.com/newshour/videos/10155578127648675/ ).
Schifrin includes a video clip where he interviews Alexander Dugin who explains how the U.S. has created covert, political dissent within Russia and this reporter then twists it around to hint the current Russian leadership wishes to return to imperial rule. He delivers his message very cleverly with a demure style of oral presentation that is heavily sprinkled with smiles, head nods and hand gesticulation to try and emphasize his sophistry. He visits Dagestan, gets arrested and laughs about it as if it was no big deal.
Schifrin suggests: President Putin is an autocrat and the godfather of the government mafia, the media is controlled by the Kremlin and Russia has a power projection agenda. He claims at the end of the video the U.S. does not engage in propaganda it only focuses on uncovering the “truth”. He says the U.S. is “not good at this stuff” (false propaganda). What a bold faced liar.
Schifrin and his sidekick Zack Fannin, created a 5-part series titled, “Inside Putin’s Russia” that is currently shown on the PBS website (see: http://www.pbs.org/video/3003012654/ ). They are paid operatives for the militarists that control American foreign policy and disguise themselves by covering human rights issues in depressed countries to present “balanced reporting”. Both of them primarily work for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, one of many NGO operations funded by the Deep State.
Take a look at their body of work here:
http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting?keys=&date_filter%5Bmin%5D%5Bdate%5D=&date_filter%5Bmax%5D%5Bdate%5D=&author%5B%5D=231749&author%5B%5D=231750
You can see the 15 video reports created by these tag-team Russian, verbal assassins that paint the Russian government as oppressors and aggressors but in a “nice way”. Just more negative cold war propaganda that President Putin has to to endure.
President Putin is an autocrat
and the godfather of the government mafia,
the media is controlled by the Kremlin
and Russia has a power projection agenda.
Forget #4. I would like to see any articles taking apart charges 1-3. Russia defenders say 1-3 are lies. Well can someone prove it for me?
The problem isn’t that Putin is an autocrat. The problem is he isn’t more of one. An autocrat wouldn’t have to worry about internal bickering.He would order things done and they would be done. I think you must not understand the meaning of an autocrat.What you see in Putin is something we haven’t seen for decades,even generations, in the West. A leader dedicated to his country. And not the toddy of the elite.Its easy to not understand the difference if you’ve never seen one.
Ironic that in every country the President is “supposed” to be the head of the government apparatus. But for countries the US doesn’t like, they call that apparatus “a mafia”. When as we see daily the true “mafia” apparatus seems to be the US deep state.
Some of the Russian media is government owned,as it is in most countries. But I’ve seen more diversity of opinion in the Russian media (both private “and” government owned) than we see in the “non-government owned” media in the US. Which is owned by wealthy corporate interests instead.
And yes,like all great powers Russia has their own interests to “project”. Are they supposed to feel bad over that,I doubt they should,or that they do.
Sanctions on Russia are simultaneously sanctions on Europe. The new round of sanctions throws into sharp relief what the US elites think about the EU and its leadership, a view already voiced by Victoria Nuland. Europe will not be allowed to buy cheap and nearby Russian gas, it must now buy US LGN. Hmmm, so much for free trade, free-trade treaties and the WTO. It should by now be understood that the US basically doesn’t do partnerships, excepting the ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane, variety. As for the Euro elites, they make the French Vichy pair, Laval and Petain, look like raving neo-Gaullists. But pride of place for Quisling scum must go to Poland, Sweden, and the Baltics. (BTW Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania have a combined (and falling) population smaller than London.). These states are not only under American occupation acting as finks, spies and paid provocateurs, they seem to regard it as some type of privilege.
It remains to be seen how Europe reacts to this blatant insult and infringement on its sovereignty.
Is obvious that the US cannot supply reliable gas at any price, and also has to charge a stiff price to begin with, as shalegas is a marginal source…Atlantic big ocean…and Washington is incoherent…
Therefore
There is no other source except Russia, not for Germany or France industrial policy…and the money calls the shot…
The gas will be Russian. The transatlantic occupation will therefore end.
Not, perhaps, without some small difficulties, fights, probably, but it must now end…because of the geography.
‘Russia’s response to sanctions – beginning of pushback against increased US aggression’
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/397852-sanctions-response-russia-us/
“RT: What do you make of Russia’s response to the new US bill? Did it surprise you in any way?
Dan Glazebrook: No it is a welcome development. I hope it marks the beginning of a concerted pushback against the increased US aggression toward Russia and all of Russia’s allies that we’ve seen under the Trump administration. Far from ushering in an era of US isolationism or anti-US militarism as some of Trump’s more naïve supporters were hoping, the Trump administration has seen a ramped up aggression and hostility to every one of Russia’s allies. It’s seen the open targeting of pro-government forces in Syria – something which even Obama never stood for. It’s seen the tearing up of rapprochement with Iran and in paving the way for a more belligerent US attitude toward Iran. It’ s seen increased naval encirclement of China. And in each case, the Russian response has been minimal.
So I hope this marks an end to this, as the Russians themselves said in their statement – endless tolerance of US hostility and aggression. I hope the vote in Congress last night demonstrates once and for all – that the Russians will get nothing from Trump other than increased isolation and encirclement themselves – especially if they do not massively increase that push back against US aggression, which they have been, as they noticed hither to, and have been inexplicably tolerant of. So I hope this marks a change in their approach.”
Former Greek Ambassador Leonidas Chrysanthopoulos says the countermeasures announced today by Moscow should have been expected in Washington.
“It is also to the credit of Russia that they waited so long to take these measures. They gave an opportunity to the new administration to ameliorate the relations between Washington and Moscow,” he told RT.
“In spite of the fact that there was a good meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin in Hamburg, we see that the administration and the Congress still insist on this hardline policy,” he said.”
Sputnik now is carrying the story about the usaf looking for genetic material from Russians and provides a better context of why this is a serious threat. Their article has a lot more detail of the american bio war infrastructure surrounding Russia, one can see why the Russians are exposing this covert bio war op now, before it goes live.
‘Combat Viruses’? US Military Looks for Biological Samples From Russians
https://sputniknews.com/us/201707291055994881-us-military-russian-rna-studies/
“According to Khrolenko, the US runs a network of biological weapons laboratories in post-Soviet countries, including in Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. He suggested that these facilities might potentially be used for the possible development of a new biological weapon.
For example, back in 2015, the Russian Defense Ministry said that one such facility is the US Richard G. Lugar Public Health Research Center in Tbilisi, which is actually a high level biological research laboratory overseen by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Another facility is the Central Reference Laboratory near Almaty, Kazakhstan, which is set to become operational this month under the Cooperative Biological Engagement Program led by the US Department of Defense.
There is another smaller US-controlled lab at a military base in the town of Otar in western Kazakhstan on the Caspian Sea.
Media reported that in 2013 in Ukraine, the US allegedly created laboratories in Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Uzhhorod, Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Simferopol, Kherson, Lviv and Lugansk.
Moreover, the author underscores that Washington regularly breaches the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention by preventing in a unilateral order international inspectors from visiting its overseas facilities.
Russian military expert Igor Nikulin also suggested that the US might be developing biological weapons.
“They’re trying to create new forms of biological weapons, for example, combat viruses,” Nikulin told RT.”
Lugansk ? this must be a mistake as far as I know.
It was 2013 before the coup took place
That was in 2013, before the israeloamerican coup in 2024, ioan.
If people said of a group, and said a true thing,: ““They’re trying to create new forms of biological weapons, for example, combat viruses,” Nikulin told RT.”’ Then went on to make it clear that they knew the addresses and coordinates of the loci where said group was doing these things, then one might expect that the fire insurance rates on those places might rise.
Now then, when the mafia says they’re making a surprise, since you know how much they like surprises, they only decent thing to do is to oblige them with a surprise of one’s own…
And bioweapon-ah-zation is a crime last time I checked…there is no legal expectation of any protection whatsoever…the Famous Illustrious and Courageous General Powell made that clear in the little matter of Saddam… If it wus me that wus th’ boffin I’d be thinking about finding a safer job…
A very good and strong interview by the Russian Deputy FM. I think he might need to be the one tasked with US affairs.

Replied:
Venezuela. This is old hat, Western Hemisphere, CIA-Southern Command, with plenty of right wing militaries to help. Also, it pits Trump vs Cuba. Cubans are big factor in Venezuela.
Big US manpower nearby in Colombia.
Easiest of all the potential situations around the globe.
It also punches China and Russia in the nose.
And the US can put 30,000 men into it if they need a huge force to assure success.
No downside. They will bribe the military there, and decapitate the government.
Bigger than Panama was, but very likely.
**end of quotes**

So this is how Trump intends to keep on “battling the Deep State”?
This is how he plans to force the Elites to “give up the government to the People”.
By destroying the people of Venezuela, invading the country, destroying its Constitutional Assembly, and returning its society to the pre-Chavez paradise of economic appartheid regime?
Yes.
Because Trump “is a visionary”.
There you have it.
