Absolute proof that the Russian military operation was PROVOKED by the US and Kiev.
I had compiled a batch of videos documenting the shelling of Donbass that deliberately provoked Putin into launching the incursion into Ukraine. But there is so much more to that story.
I had previously compiled a collection of video clips documenting the provocation of Russia, ie, the shelling of Donbass that killed thousands of innocent ethnic Russians after 2014 when the Obama-Biden regime took over the Maidan protests and turned a peaceful protest into a violent coup – and then installed a Nazi government.
There is a lot more evidence than that. I have added more links below.

And if there is anyone who still doubts that the US and its partners in Kiev deliberately goaded Russia into launching its special military operation, consider the US complicity in the Gaza genocide, where the US and its partner in crime Israel used the Hamas attack as an excuse to ethnically cleanse Palestine by killing tens of thousands of people.
The US has no legitimate claim to morality. On the contrary, the world has a legitimate demand for the Satanic Washington regime to be dismantled,
Genocide is what the US does.
End self quote
As long as the entire West is mesmerized by the intentionally false account of why Putin launched his special military operation (as reflected by Borrell’s brainless speech), we will be headed to a war designed by the US globalists and specifically by the Obama-Biden regime in 2014. If the world is sent hurtling toward nuclear war, blame the Neocon-led West for deliberately provoking Russia.
So what is the off-ramp from this pernicious narrative that pins the blame for the coming war on Russia?
I have so far not seen any evidence that the gullible Western grassroots have the cognitive machinery necessary to avert the war, because at least the older generation has been totally mesmerized by a false religious doctrine that portrays the US-led West as the “good guy” – even now that we have seen with our own eyes the brutal genocide perpetrated by our “Holy Ally” in the Middle East. If after the world has seen the utter horrors unfold in Gaza, the West remains in thrall to its old assessment of the world as divided into the warmongering west as the “Good Guy” and the East plus Global South – represented chiefly by Russia a China – as the “bad guys,” then there is most likely no saving the Western world from within. The impetus toward the good will have to come from without. And since the West is bristling with weapons, money and propaganda, all aimed at preserving the deadly fable of the West as the “good guy,” the only possible salvation will probably be an overwhelming response, mostly military, from the East.
This explains in part my motivation for chronicling the daily missile strike in Ukraine because the West is stuck on stupid and is incapable – lacks the brain power – to see what it is doing to itself and the world. It can see facts but it can’t discern patterns. And that is a fatal flaw inherent in Western habitual thinking and behavior.
Fortunately, the younger generation is, for the most part, immune to this insanity.
The thing that makes this situation among the older generation virtually immutable is that their thinking is largely religious at bottom, based on what can be identified as “Christian” Zionism.
The problem is, if doing evil is Gods’s will, then evil can be sold as good and good can be feared as evil.
We’ve been sold corporate capitalism as the ultimate good and warned of communism/socialism as the ultimate evil, and we’ve been told that affordable health care as implemented by government is communism and therefore, even poor people with serious medical conditions, mesmerized by this myth, will gladly go to their graves believing they are good patriots, having sacrificed their lives for their country. This is no exaggeration, and it is just as insane as that.
The unprecedented publicly known atrocities perpetrated by Israel following the Oct 10 Hamas attack have stirred the consciences of even the most fanatical “Christian” Zionists and have led many of the rest to see that ideology as dangerous and wholly negative. But the older Evangelicals, though possibly moved on the emotional level, are immutable doctrinally.
And herein lies a great tragedy. The tragedy of a country with unlimited opportunities for change but that will not change because people don’t have the mental capacity to do on the outward level what they know inwardly to be right.
Netanyahu slyly appealed to American Evangelicals by pointing to Old Testament scripture showing how apparently God had sanctioned a horrible atrocity committed against the Amalekites, with the supposedly divinely inspired Israelites instructed to kill all the Amalekites, including men, women and children and even their domestic animals.
If you’re a fanatical “Christian” Zionist, you accept this as “God’s will.” And you accept Netanyahu as God’s servant.
But this fanaticism as it applies to US military actions goes much further than that.
The US elites spread the word that Korea and Vietnam were hotbeds of “godless” communism, thus tying the war propaganda of the early 50s and then the late 50s and the 60s to religious zeal, and making grassroots Americans think God wanted their military to kill the North Koreans and Vietnamese.
Two million mostly civilians were bombed to death or otherwise killed by the US military as a result of this anticommunist fervor.
Let me just show you a snapshot of the way Evangelicals injected their religious views into issues in ways that supported dictators and warlike views:
From the Council on Foreign Relations paper:
Evangelicals and U.S. Foreign Policy Symposium Historical Trajectories - Session I of November 30, 2007
But he [Reagan] did provide State Department briefings for evangelical leaders, and they abetted or bought into his hard line [anti]communism. For example, Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network donated millions of dollars to support the contras in Honduras and Nicaragua. On his programs and other ways, Robertson lionized the Guatemalan dictator Rios Montt, General Rios Montt, who was also a Pentecostal, and brutally killed thousands of indigenous people. Jerry Falwell defended apartheid, characterized Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress as Soviet puppets.
I need to add to this my own personal experience with rabid anticommunist fundamentalist leader Carl McIntyre. My parents tuned in to Carl’s radio program on Saturday mornings with his booming voice jarringly me awake.
Dad was so inflamed by McIntyre’s rhetoric that he bought into the Vietnam war fervor and decided to found a church based on McIntyre’s organization, which ordained him.
But because I was nearing draft age and gave my dad a serious talking to about young men like me having to risk their lives for something that had nothing to do with Jesus’ teachings, I actually persuaded dad not to support this war, and as a result, he never mentioned it to his congregation. Consequently, he was eventually thrown out of the church he had founded.
Dad was a good man influenced by bad people.
There are millions of good people like him and they have sentenced thousands of Palestinians to death by torture and starvation.

Here’s your air strike update for May 6, 2024
Translation with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
May 6, 2024
Last night, the Russian army launched a series of attacks on enemy military rear areas
Explosions were reported in Sumy, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk oblasts. According to some reports, in Sumy, a warehouse of missiles was hit in the area of the Scientific Research Institute associated with the chemical industry. After the hit, a powerful detonation occurred. In addition, strikes were recorded at power facilities. Such strikes are a response to Kiev’s attempts to attack our critical infrastructure.

“This has never happened before”: the Russian Aerospace Forces dropped a super-powerful bomb on the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Since the morning of May 6, there has been panic in the telegram channels of Ukraine: Russia dropped a super-powerful bomb on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The enemy is in shock; militants and Ukrainian officials write on social networks that they have never experienced anything like this before.
According to Ukrainian TV channels, the Russian Armed Forces used the most powerful ammunition in the village of Monachinovka near Kupyansk. An aerial bomb weighing one and a half tons fell on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. [FAB bombs come in 3 standard sizes, ie, 500 kg, 1000 kg and 1500 kg. There is now a new size, ie, 3000 kg, Now THAT will be a game changer]
“Everything around shook, as if an earthquake had started. An entire street was destroyed in one blow. This is the first time that weapons of such power have been used against us,” Politoka Strany quotes the head of the local Investigation Department, Sergei Bolvinov.
As you know, the Russian Armed Forces are now equipping FABs with special glide modules, which allow aircraft to send the munition to the enemy’s heads without entering the enemy’s air defense coverage area. Similar bombs are now being used on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Chasovoy Yar.
The main battles here take place on the flanks: the Russian Armed Forces are trying to advance to cover the city.
A few days ago it became known that Russian aviation carried out a precision strike on the location of the nationalist detachment “Kraken” (recognized as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation, banned) in Kharkov.
Naturally, the Ukrainian media and telegram channels remained silent about this - otherwise they would have had to admit that the detachment suffered such significant losses that it became virtually incapable of further action.
However, the “Kraken” propagandists made a mistake when they published a post about the urgent recruitment of volunteers for the unit. Considering that recruitment to the national battalion is carried out exclusively through special selection in the Main Intelligence Directorate, such a “sudden” announcement once again confirms that Russian aviation attacked the target with the highest accuracy.

The underground reported attacks on the energy system and warehouse in the area of the research institute in Sumy
Underground worker Lebedev: Russian Armed Forces hit the Sumy power grid and ammunition depot
DONETSK, May 6 – RIA Novosti. Last night, Russian troops in Sumy attacked the city’s power system and an ammunition warehouse in the area of a research institute associated with chemical production, Nikolaev underground coordinator Sergei Lebedev told RIA Novosti, citing his comrades.
"
“At night in the city of Sumy, a blow was struck at the power structure and ammunition depots. <...> At 01:40 in Sumy there was a strike with a strong detonation in the north-eastern part of the city. Local resistance believes that the explosions came from the research institute associated with chemical production," he said.

According to him, at these production facilities, missiles for MLRS [multiple launch missile systems] were equipped in underground bunkers. According to the underground worker, the missiles being prepared for loading were hit by a drone.
Also at night, problems with the power supply in Kharkov were reported.

“Residents attribute this to a blow to the energy structure of Sumy. <...> At the moment, there is no electricity in Sumy and most of Kharkov,” Lebedev clarified.
Ukrainian media reported at night about several series of explosions in Sumy, after which power outages occurred in the regional center and a number of other cities. Local authorities confirmed that energy infrastructure facilities were targeted.
In response to attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on civilian targets, Russian troops regularly carry out targeted strikes on military targets and infrastructure of Ukraine: energy, defense industry, military command and communications facilities.
At the same time, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, has repeatedly emphasized that the army does not attack residential buildings and social institutions.

THE FRENCH AT CHASOV YAR: NEXT - THE AMERICANS? WHERE THE HOTEST RUSSIAN FIGHTS WITH MERCENARIES ARE EXPECTED
Mercenaries from France are already at Chasov Yar. Experts do not rule out that the Americans will also “have to intervene in the conflict,” and this will not only be sponsorship. We tell you where the hottest battles between Russians and Western military forces are expected.
"It's not TikTok anymore"
As it became known, on the southern approaches to the city of Chasov Yar, Russian paratroopers encountered groups of French and German mercenaries and entered into battle. And these are already trained, motivated fighters - “professional military personnel of NATO countries.”
“Now these are no longer those “TikTok” military men of foreign countries who came to Ukraine to earn money and, at the first threat to their lives, fled from their positions, packed their bags and went back. Now trained, highly motivated and ideological fighters are entering the battle - in other words, professional military personnel of NATO countries,” noted military expert Vladislav Shurygin.
According to him, “the paratroopers met with representatives of the French Foreign Legion, who, according to Military Chronicle, had previously been transferred to Slavyansk.”
“Apparently, the unit, which was originally planned to be used in the defense of Slavyansk (in the event of a breakthrough of the front), is now involved in the defense of Chasov Yar, where the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is worsening every day,” he suggested.
If this is the case, then on May 5 the French legion suffered its first losses - up to 7 people.
Earlier, on April 12, the Military Chronicle Tg channel reported that representatives of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion arrived at the location of the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Slavyansk along with the Caesar self-propelled gun under the guise of service personnel.
According to preliminary information, the first group of 100 people are specialists in artillery reconnaissance, as well as an engineering group whose specialization is fortification and construction of field fortifications.
“Apparently, the French, who move around the city only accompanied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, will help the Ukrainian army defend Slavyansk when the front line shifts towards this city,” the channel’s authors think.
There are first losses
According to Boris Rozhin, an expert at the Center for Military-Political Journalism, “French and German mercenaries entered the battle near Chasov Yar.”
“They report from the field that in the forestry area, on the southern approaches to Chasov Yar, in a shooting battle, the paratroopers encountered groups of mercenaries,” he noted.
According to him, the first reports (based on radio interceptions) about the arrival of foreign mercenaries in Chasov Yar arrived about a month ago, but then it was completely unclear what kind of units they were. Now there is clarification.
“If this is really the case, then yesterday the French Foreign Legion suffered its first losses (up to 7 people),” the expert noted.
Recently, Chinese media also confirmed that France has officially sent its troops to Ukraine. This happened in connection with the attack on the thermal power plant in Slavyansk on May 5 by the Russian army.
As military correspondent Yuri Kotenok pointed out in his telegram channel, “Slavyanskaya TPP after a missile strike. Enemy resources confirm five arrivals on the territory of the station. It is premature to talk about the destruction of the facility,” he added.
“Two Majors” also reported that the distance from the front line that an aerial bomb or missile flew is indicative - 30 km.
"For even more significant purposes, our UAVs carry out raids much deeper - up to 100 km (these are only those cases that were published on the Internet). Well, 30 km from the LBS, apparently, is the distance that guarantees the arrival of a Russian FAB at head of the enemy in everyday mode,” concluded the author of the material.
Where to wait for the enemy?
Those French soldiers who arrive in Ukraine are not light infantry, said Tsargrad military observer Vlad Shlepchenko.
“They are not tasked with engaging in battle on the front line. Basically, these are specialists who know how to handle Western weapons well. That is, firstly, a group of specialists is assembled who know how to work with Scalp and Storm Shadow cruise missiles. And, accordingly, , they will prepare these missiles for use against our operational-tactical rear, for an attack, perhaps on the Crimean Bridge, somewhere else. Secondly, the arrival of communications specialists, engineers, artillerymen and, perhaps, is recorded. maybe tankers,” the expert explained.
Macron's idea is to saturate the Ukrainian army with highly qualified specialists and increase its combat effectiveness - precisely at its key points. Macron apparently has no plans to transfer large numbers of troops.
“Yes, in principle, France does not have such capabilities. Because it has Ground Forces there - something a little more than 100 thousand people. But saturating the army, or at least several sectors of the front, with French specialists - this can happen This is what they are striving for,” the expert believes.
It is known that of the approximately 1,500 legionnaires who are now arriving, about 300 are instructors, they will either train or lead combat operations on the ground.
Where can we wait for the French? Well, in directions. Firstly, this is the southern direction - Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson. The French are hesitant about Odessa - this is how it happened historically. In addition, there is a convenient route for them - through Romania and Moldova. The military arrives in small groups, trying not to expose themselves to missile attacks, 7-10 people each.
“And the second location where they have now been discovered is the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration. But, again, I repeat, our sources say that there are no French on the front line, they are all in the rear, in rear positions. And they are doing that that they organize such things as communication, for example. They help Ukrainians in this regard,” explained Vlad Shlepchenko.
As for Kiev, we don’t really need it in the current conditions, the expert noted.
“More precisely, we don’t need him at all. We need to destroy the enemy group in the Donbass and create a security belt in the Chernigov, Sumy and Kharkov regions. These are our tasks for this year, by and large. Well, as for the French military, I really hope that they will be killed quickly, efficiently and in commercial quantities. Of course, I would like to see some videos of prisoners being hanged, with prisoners being shot, so that all this would be published,” the observer said.
According to him, the faster and more effectively the military of Western countries are eliminated, the less interest they will have in sending their military - this must be understood.
By the way, following France, the United States began to promote itself in sending military personnel to Ukraine: the leader of the House Democrats said that the United States could directly get involved in the conflict, since there is a threat to NATO. The Readovka channel writes about this.
Tales about the export of military operations to the territory of NATO countries were told by the leader of the Democrats in the US House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, reports CBS News. The politician is convinced that the United States cannot “allow Ukraine to fall,” which means that America will have to send its military personnel, and not just money, to the Northern Military District zone. Apparently, because the latter are becoming fewer and fewer. In addition, weapons do not help slow down the advance of the Russian army, because their deliveries are delayed for several months, as the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry previously said.
"We cannot allow Ukraine to fall. If that happens, then there is a significant likelihood that America will have to intervene in the conflict not only with our money, but also with our military," Hakeem Jeffries said in an interview given to CBS News.

Egypt participates with Israel in the second Nakba?!
Satellite images reveal preparations in Rafah, Egypt
The interim entity is completing its preparations for the military operation in Rafah, in conjunction with the aerial photos revealed showing preparations in Egyptian territory to receive the displaced from this area. This is what the Egyptian authorities will not be able to justify, no matter how much they try to justify it, that they facilitated and helped the Israelis commit their crime, when their president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, did not adhere to his promise, covenant, and threat from the first days of the battle, that he would not allow any forced displacement of Palestinian civilians towards his country.
A few days ago, satellite images taken of the Rafah area from the Egyptian and Palestinian sides showed what appeared to be large-scale construction work underway along the Egyptian border with the district, which indicates that it is an Egyptian preparation - under American pressure and in coordination to implement the step with the Israeli side - to shelter refugees. Palestinians. Therefore, the denial of the head of the Egyptian State Information Service, Diaa Rashwan, will be of no use, who stressed that his country’s decisive position stipulates “the complete and irreversible rejection of any forced or voluntary displacement of Palestinian brothers from the Gaza Strip to outside it, especially to Egyptian lands, because this constitutes certain liquidation.” to the Palestinian cause, and a direct threat to Egyptian sovereignty and national security.” So why was an Egyptian threat not issued by its highest authorities in return, against the clear and declared Israeli desires and plans to displace the displaced people to Egypt, if there was not actually: “Behind the mound is what lies beyond it.”
Accordingly, Palestinian sources familiar with the field conditions of the trenches confirmed that the Egyptian steps are preliminary to implementing the displacement step, which will be carried out under the pretext of compelling humanitarian circumstances, and that Israel may open loopholes in the separation wall and barbed wire on the border through some air strikes.
Details of Egyptian preparations
The Wall Street Journal, citing Egyptian officials and security analysts, revealed that the area that the Egyptian authorities are building in order to accommodate Palestinian refugees when the operation is implemented is 8 square miles (equivalent to 20.7 square kilometers) and can accommodate more than 100,000 people. .
According to some experts, the occupation entity knows that it cannot appear to expel Palestinians from their lands, but this does not mean that it will prevent people from leaving if they want to. Nor will it stand in Egypt's way if it is willing to receive about 100,000 refugees. UN officials commented to a foreign media outlet that they were deeply concerned and feared that a mass evacuation was looming, saying that “things seem to be moving in this direction.”
In the same context, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, warned in a statement to Reuters news agency during the Munich Security Conference that the influx of refugees from Rafah to Egypt would be a disaster for the Palestinians and for the future of what he described as peace.
Therefore, the Egyptian people must cut off these doubts from their foundations, by taking serious action by protesting, demonstrating, and even disobeying their rulers, to prevent this project - the Second Nakba - from occurring. The Arab peoples and countries must also put pressure on the Egyptian authorities in any way, to prevent them from facilitating this step.
