Global Research Wants to Hear From You!
***
Things appear no better this week on WWIII’s European front. That unelected worm, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at a Monday May 13th meeting of the Policy Exchange think tank, actually stated:
[If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, UK] might be next, [adding that Moscow’s] recklessness has taken us closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
All these Western puppets read from the same central banking cartel mono-script.
This City of London weasel actually accused Russia of cutting off the West’s gas/oil supply when it was Western puppets following orders of their moneychanging masters to destroy Russia with unending economic sanctions that is chiefly the cause of the West’s mess today.
Now facing the worst economic collapse ever, unable to heat their homes and factories during the winter, the West is undergoing the elites’ controlled demolition, gutting out all Western economies assured to bring the intended outcome, the plotted diabolical death of Western civilization itself.
Yet another of Rishi’s false projections blames Russia for weaponizing the immigration crises to achieve its goals.
These little mindless maggots in the West are always ordered to falsely blame globalist invented enemies Russia, China and Iran for all their own malevolent crimes against humanity. It’s a never-ending broken record of nonstop lies that never stop flowing from these mealy-mouthed demons.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to this litany of bogus allegations:
Sunak’s lies are so desperate that one could even feel sorry for him. Russia did not stop gas supplies even for a second.
Maria reminded Sunak that it is the wars led by the US-UK in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria that led directly to the thousands of displaced war refugees pouring into Europe and has nothing to do with Russia. Of course, we know that today’s unprecedented worst migration crisis on earth is the sole doing of the globalist masters creating every conflict and warzone that are responsible for this deliberately engineered global crisis. Be it the wide-open borders in both Europe and America, neither are Russia’s doing.
Regarding Rishi Sunak blaming Russia for “nuclear escalation,” again Maria reminded simpleton it was the West greenlighting Zelensky’s repeated shelling of Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant at Zaporozhye NPP that endangered the entire European continent, not Russia.
And that it again was the US/NATO members that banned Russian energy imports, not Moscow.
Maria confronted that Russia stopped its energy deliveries to Europe, correcting him that it was not Russia but US-UK criminal collaborative betrayal that destroyed supposed ally Germany’s energy lifeline with Russia, the sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines.
Always these robotic, order-following globalist tools in Europe/US constantly try passing themselves off as “good guys,” the false saviors of Western democracy and freedom, vainly attempting to cover up their suicidally following their masters’ deadly policies clearly intent on destroying the entire West. These puppets cannot hide this dark truth no matter how much they lie.
FACT: they are all betraying their own people, their own cultures and their own countries. And more and more of the world is realizing this blatant black and white fact. Their what’s good is bad and bad is good deception is no longer working.

The United States, UK, France, Poland and Baltic states are clearly the most aggressive NATO members “playing” with the suicidal notion that rather than permit Ukraine to fall, sending NATO troops to Ukraine is a viable, if not necessary option. Recently US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Minority House Leader Hakeem Jeffries have both verbalized probability of US boots on the ground. France’s Macron is most persistently floating the idea. These NATO puppets publicly encourage Kiev to fire off the US-UK-French longer-range missiles at key targets inside Russia. But the most fanatical of the three NATO “big boys” is by far the United Kingdom, after all, the City of London power yoke can most easily squeezed puppets inside the nearby British government, like its Minister of Defense Grant Shapps, who on Tuesday May 14th emphatically stated:
I do not think it is plausible at all for Putin to win this war. It is very, very important that the US follows the UK lead. Remember: we’ve just increased our money to Ukraine this year to £3 billion ($3.78 billion), our biggest-ever package. [Referring to Russia as today’s Nazi Germany,] we have been in this position before in Europe and we will simply not allow that to happen again. If you give a bully like Putin an inch, he will take a mile. In this case, he will probably take quite a lot, not just Ukraine. I’m not sure he will stop there either.
Their globalist script demands all warring maniacs in the West must say Putin will not stop in Ukraine. But fortunately, the vast majority of EU/NATO countries have strongly stated they will not deploy troops in Ukraine. With no consensus among NATO nations, on Tuesday May 14th, Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson told the press:
There’s no concrete proposal for it here and now. If it comes up, a concrete proposal, we can take it into review.
As the newest NATO member after breaking its longtime policy of neutrality in 2022, Sweden has agreed to allocate€28 million ($30 million) to increase Kiev’s military capabilities. Last week Jonson said Sweden aims to:
Strengthen Ukraine’s defense in terms of drones, mine clearance, and by strengthening the capabilities of the Ukrainian navy.
Earlier this week Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said:
Just to make it very clear, the conditions, in my opinion, are not yet appropriate to deploy Canadian troops in any capacity into Ukraine, as it pertains to their combat zone.
With a minority of NATO members explicitly open to boots on the ground in Ukraine, from the stronger members, and other stated positions leaving the door open if NATO so chooses at a later date, and NATO exercises still actively scheduled till the end of this month, the prospect of NATO facing off against Russia over Ukraine is very much still on the table.
Meanwhile, a partisan coalition amongst German MPs has been foolishly talking up a hairbrained idea of Poland and Romania voluntarily using their air defense systems to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine airspace. But this direct escalation appears to be gaining some traction. Former NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen is now on board using Polish and Romanian missile defenses to intercept Russian missiles flying over Ukraine.
At least wiser heads may prevail in the Bundestag as Social Democratic Party (SPD) chair Rolf Mutzenich has come out in vehement opposition to such an aggressive move, warning it would be “playing with fire” as a direct warring party against Moscow. However, as Russia dominates on the battlefield as Ukraine approaches defeat, the US/NATO/West are growing more desperate and taking this war to the European theater level of World War III.
As part of this same trend toward Western provocation, on Sunday May 12th, Ukraine fired Soviet era Tochka ballistic missiles and Adler and RM-70 Vampire (MLRS) multiple launch rocket systems partially destroying an apartment building inside Russia in the border city of Belgorod, killing 15 Russian civilians and injuring 20. Since Ukraine is so overmatched fighting Russian soldiers, with the greenlight from US/NATO, the Kiev government has resorted to increasingly launching longer-range missile attacks, sent from the US, UK and France, directly into Russia. Ukraine is now using the West’s longer-range missiles like the US ATCAMs to launch increasing number of terrorist strikes targeting Russian civilians deeper inside Russia and Crimea, and fully supported by US/NATO. This essentially makes US/NATO violators of both international law of war as well as violating another Putin red line as direct party to the conflict. This constitutes nothing less than clear intent to accelerate the war to a far larger direct conflict between US/NATO and Russia.
To create a necessary buffer zone to clear out Ukraine’s Kharkov region so that Kiev’s missiles and drones can no longer reach the vulnerable Russian border region Belgorod, Russia has launched a border invasion into Ukraine during the early morning hours of Friday May 10th. The one Kiev offensive that successfully took back a sizeable chunk of the Russian controlled territory around Kharkov over a year and a half ago, is now abruptly in jeopardy. Despite plenty of time to reinforce that northeastern region, based on the recent Moscow army’s invasion taking advantage of both the spring dried terrain and the element of surprise, Russian forces seized up to a dozen towns not far from Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkov. Ukraine claims that Russia has deployed 30,000 of its 50,000 troops amassed along that border.
During the early morning hours of Friday May 10th, Russia launched as major offensive towards Kharkov in northeastern Ukraine near the Russian border. The Russian army has broken through Ukraine’s first line of defense. For all intents and purposes, even CNN is finally admitting Ukraine’s imminent defeat with its Monday May 13th headline:
Russia is surging across the frontlines, and Ukraine seems unable to stop it. [Its leadoff sentence] the changing language used by the Ukrainian military in 72 hours of daily updates tells the story: ‘Ongoing defensive fighting.’ ‘Significantly worsened.’ Russian ‘tactical success.’
So, this pessimistic turn in war coverage has finally come home to roost for both Ukraine and lame mainstreamCNN, recoiling from lost revenue and forced downsizing due to losing so much of its viewership as Americans reject its flagrant propaganda lies. Yet even with this gloomy headline, CNN opted for its own “changing language” apparently, thinking twice about running such a downtrodden, defeatist headline, changing its headline:
The rest of the world wants the Ukraine war to go away. Putin has other ideas
All those rosy, grand delusional Western media lies about Ukraine’s victory are now ancient history. Those of us that saw the longer history dating back to Victoria Nuland’s illegal 2014 Kiev coup, knew full well that Ukraine’s defeat would be inevitable, though admittedly, I expected this war to be over some time ago.
After City of London lapdog Boris Johnson was dispatched to Kiev to sabotage the nearly negotiated ceasefire only a month into the conflict in late March 2022, Putin has chosen a more gradual course of war fighting, delivering Russia’s meatgrinder war of attrition, accurately banking on US and West war fatigue setting in, still open to talks with the West, but now on its terms. Ukraine must never join NATO as a neutral buffer zone nation and neighbor to Russia.
Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov in a New York Times interview this week described:
The situation is on the edge. Every hour this situation is critical.
Budanov stated the Russian military offensive is pressuring Kiev to move reserves in to slow down its move to Kharkov, warning that within days Russia plans to launch a second campaign pushing towards the Sumy region 150 km (93 miles) northwest of Kharkov. Criticism that Kiev failed to adequately fortify this border region was alluded to by Ukrainian commander Denis Yaroslavsky writing on social media:
The first line of fortifications and mines just didn’t exist. We came to the conclusion that this was either deliberate theft or deliberate sabotage.
The timing of this Russian spring offensive is obviously taking advantage of that $61 billion US aid package not yet showing up on the battlefield, including the F-16s Denmark has set for delivery to for Ukraine within several weeks.
Antony Blinken’s pure fantasy expressed during his unannounced Tuesday May 14th Kiev visit assured Zelensky that the US weapons “on the way” will “make a real difference.”
Later that night, Blinken brought along the CSPAN crew to a local Kiev bar. A video of this pretentious fool shows Blinken playing guitar, singing “Rocking in the Free World,” drawing instant comparisons of Nero playing violin while Rome burns. This pompous grandstander is a disgrace, knowing that taxpayers’ $61 billion will be wasted down the drain as yet another shameful boondoggle that Blinken knows will never change the war’s outcome. Anyone with half a brain knows that at this point.

But per globalist dictates, all these DC losers must double down right to their bitter end.
The West’s unwillingness to face this cold hard reality just shows how much these war demons could care less about Ukraine’s fate as a nation or its people, and that thousands more Ukrainians will needlessly die for no good reason.
Ukraine’s fate was sealed from the very get-go of the 2014 US illegal coup with its pre-agenda to arm and train neo-Nazis as Europe’s biggest army on the false promise of joining NATO. And Kiev’s fate was doubly sealed once the February 2022 Russian Special Military Operation to de-Nazify and demilitarize Ukraine was launched.
In other symbolically important frontline action this week, Russian Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday May 15th that the only territory Kiev forces gained during its long-hyped, failed spring counteroffensive last year was just lost. The village of Rabotino in the Zaporozhye Region was retaken on Wednesday by the Russian army. The region’s capital, Melitopol, is 75 km (46 miles) northeast of Rabotino. Along with Kherson, Lugansk and Donetsk, Zaporozhye is one of four regions that voted in a referendum to be annexed by Russia in the fall of 2022. Moscow’s forces are making solid gains to completely remove the last of the once heavily entrenched Ukrainian forces out of what is Russia now.
In other major news, with Putin beginning his fifth term as Russian Federation president, Putin promoted his now outgoing Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu after 12 years in his post to Secretary of National Security. Of course, the West classified this change as either a demotion or a sideways move rather than Shoigu’s reward for an excellent performance modernizing and strengthening Russia’s armed forces as perhaps the best in the world.
Shoigu’s replacement is a longtime Putin close advisor and major Russian economist who orchestrated Moscow’s ascendancy overcoming the West’s economic sanctions that turned out to be a boom for Russian independence and prosperity, while the beginning of the suicidal end for US and Western civilization, resulting in the death of the US unipolar hegemon and the spawning of an emboldened multipolar world. It would have happened anyway but the elites forcibly expedited it in order to deliberately destroy Western prominence, and specifically its large white Christian middle class as the elites’ perceived biggest obstacle to one world totalitarian government tyranny and CBDC smart cities neo-feudal enslavement. How much Russia and China as the multipolar leaders are elites’ controlled opposition players still remain to be seen.
On the eve of his trip to his strategic ally China on Thursday and Friday, Putin had this to say:
Earth is the cradle of humanity, our common home, and we are all equal as its inhabitants. I am convinced that this view is shared by most people on the planet. US‑led Western elites refuse to respect civilizational and cultural diversity and reject centuries-old traditional values, [and] have usurped the right to tell other nations whom they may – or must not – make friends and cooperate with. They seek to ensure their well‑being at the expense of other states, just like in the old days, and resort to neo-colonial methods to that end.
The West can hardly tolerate the close military, political and economic alliance between Russia and China, with Beijing offering last year to broker a negotiated peace between Russia and Ukraine, but was soundly rejected by the US. Putin says neither Ukraine nor its Western backers [and their puppet masters] are ready for:
An equal, honest and open dialogue based on mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests. Given global turbulence and economic issues in the West, such results prove yet again the strategic wisdom of our sovereign course and pursuit of national interests.
Either Vladimir Putin is the smoothest, shrewdest operator on the chessboard planet, or he really does offer a more prudent, better way for the world community of nations to amicably proceed, rather than how the plundering, destructive US/West as globalist pawns have mucked everything up so badly.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday May 15th, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico apparently survived an attempted assassination, forcing him to undergo emergency surgery. He is only one of two EU leaders not against Putin. As a populist leader, he is an anti-globalist, is against funding Ukraine, against the WHO’s Pandemic Agreement and against EU’s new migration policy. In other words, one of the important leaders for sanity was nearly murdered. Hopefully, Robert Fico will fully recover from his injury and help sanity overcome the prevailing insanity taking over this troubled world.
