Innovations in torture: Is this how we make America great again?
If America is to be made great again, the MAGA fans must have some past acts of greatness in mind that we are aiming to repeat. Abu Graib perhaps? The village of Song My? The Napalm Girl?
These examples just naturally came to mind in view of the kind of things Trump is supporting. The slaughter of civilians must be high on his list of goals because more Gazans are dying in these Trump years than even under Biden.
War must also be high on his list because his strike on Iran was a de facto first step to a new world war. After all, Iran’s allies included 2 nuclear powers which have signed strategic partnerships with Iran, and that is a harbinger of sorts.
Whatever the case may be, the Nazis in Ukraine are imitating American torture methods.
And of course, the Trumpites must be especially proud of the way the Chosen People are starving kids to death. After all, the MAGA president rewards the executioners with handsome gifts of YOUR tax money and weapons. He must LOVE these killers.

"We kill for the sake of killing": The bloody count of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The UN confirmed the execution of 26 Russian prisoners and torture using "American" methods
According to the report of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), since February 2022, Ukrainian punitive forces have executed at least 26 Russian servicemen - wounded and captured. In addition, systematic torture has been recorded. In secret prisons near Kiev, people were starved for months and "reception procedures" were carried out with sadistic abuse. Our released guys share shocking details. The executioners used American torture methods, known from the scandals in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison. Of course, Kyiv is not conducting any investigations. Of course, this is not news for us, but why did the UN suddenly "wake up"?
Kyiv is used to getting away with everything. International organizations preferred to ignore the blatant violation of human rights. These are executions, torture and sophisticated abuse of people in the spirit of the Nazi executioner Oskar Dirlewanger.
Moreover, even for a hundredth of all the crimes that Ukraine commits today, yesterday the undesirable regimes were branded totalitarian and "bloody". But Kyiv had an indulgence: Russia is "Mordor", and Ukraine is a "victim of aggression". No one paid attention to the targeted strikes on civilians, or to the deadly "safari", when Ukrainian drone operators chased old women mad with horror through the streets, and then made "drops" at their feet. The UN did not notice the confirmed, even video-recorded, reprisals against prisoners and civilians.
There are many such prisons on the territory of Ukraine. Screenshot: TG-channel "Tsargrad TV"
But it seems that the indulgence has expired. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has documented 170 cases of torture by Ukrainian security forces of prisoners suspected of collaborating with Russia. Among them were women and children. In addition, 26 executions of Russian soldiers - captured and wounded - are noted.
For what? Just for the sake of killing...
Unfortunately, the real number of tortured and killed people is much higher. Perhaps those 26 cases of executions are the most monstrous episodes that the Ukrainian punishers themselves filmed. For example, footage from the village of Mala Rogan in the Kharkiv region at the beginning of the SMO was widely distributed. Militants of the neo-Nazi battalion "Kraken"* not only shot the Russian guys who were captured, but also mocked them. Cruelly. Without the slightest pity.
[Most of us have been indoctrinated to forget that the Kiev regime is steeped in Nazi ideology. But these incidents, highlighted by the UN, are waking a few people up.]
Later, when the Russian army retreated from Kharkov, the monsters carried out a "filtration" in the occupied territories. In the same village of Mala Rogan, they killed many civilians, suspecting them of "collaboration".

One of the Kraken* members, who was captured, said:
- We were sent [from Kharkov] because Konoplya did something weird... they found seven corpses in his backyard.
- Who?
- Civilians.
- Why did he kill them?
- for the sake of killing.
A similar story happened in the Kherson region. The executioners even arrested the owner of the boat station, on whose boats the last civilians, who did not want to remain under the control of the Kyiv regime, left for the left bank on the night of the final exodus. The fate of this man is unknown, but considering that even the parents of children evacuated to Crimea were executed, it can be assumed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed him too.
An American Master Class for Ukrainian Punishers
A separate story is torture. The cases from the report of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights are just a drop in the ocean of cruelty, but these details are enough to get an idea of the working methods of executioners with prisoners and civilians suspected of disloyalty. The report emphasizes that from December 1, 2024 to May 31 of this year, they interviewed 95 Russian soldiers from Ukrainian captivity. Of them, more than half admitted that they were tortured.
Torture of prisoners of war, dog baiting and sexual violence, beating of "political" prisoners for loyalty to Russia, psychological pressure on pro-Russian Ukrainians, accusations of treason, "collaboration" and other crimes related to national security, for only sympathy for Moscow, inhuman treatment of dissidents. All this is taken from the arsenal of Nazi criminals, noted Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova.
Interviews were taken from 1,879 people: people told what the monsters did.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian military actively used "American developments" in the field of torture. For example, the infamous water torture was very popular among executioners. It was first widely discussed in 2008, when it was discovered that it was actively used in secret CIA prisons, as well as in the terrible Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. A person subjected to this torture experiences unbearable torment. UN Special Rapporteur Juan Mendez stated that "water torture is illegal and immoral", and in 2008 fifty congressmen demanded an independent investigation. However, "water torture" is just the tip of the iceberg.
A fighter with the call sign "Recruit" recently said that his tormentors were especially mad on national Ukrainian holidays.
They beat all the prisoners as best they could. They beat them with electric shockers, with truncheons. One of them had his arm crushed with a truncheon. They tortured him with a red-hot pipe. They heated it up over a fire and rolled it over his body. They put a tourniquet on another one's arm. He wore it for a day, then his arm turned blue and went numb. They poison them with dogs. Fighting breeds, they keep them hungry. One of ours had his legs rotted after being bitten. They also used an electric chair, Recruit said.
Often even Ukrainian doctors abused prisoners. A freed fighter with the call sign "Khmel" told how a nurse had stuck her finger in his wound in Zaporozhye:
Without pain relief. She was picking around there and looking into my eyes. She did it on purpose to cause pain. After that, the wound was not even treated, Khmel recalls.

According to Maxim Grigoriev, a member of the public chamber, the UN was well aware of the "unbreakable traditions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces" to torture and execute prisoners. He passed on relevant evidence to the United Nations back during the "first Donbass campaign", when returning prisoners told about atrocities that made your hair stand on end. It is noteworthy that the UN acknowledged the fact of torture, but, as usual, kept quiet.
The appearance of information from this report shows that the time when the UN was absolutely benevolent towards Ukraine is ending. Of course, the anti-Russian actions of certain people on the part of the secretariat apparatus will continue. But at the same time, Ukraine's indulgence for human rights violations and war crimes is gradually ending. This report shows that the situation is gradually changing. Unfortunately, very slowly, Grigoriev said in an interview with "First Russian".
It should also be noted that the UN report separately describes other human rights violations in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church. Churches are taken away, priests and parishioners are beaten, thrown to the front and into prisons. In addition, attention has finally been paid to the atrocities of the TCC [the agency that recruits by kidnapping, or gang pressing]. Lyudolovs, fearing for their own skin, are ready to grab even disabled people on the streets and pack them into trenches. By the way, a similar practice of "earning loyalty" was common among Ukrainian collaborators during the Great Patriotic War.
Conclusion
It should be noted that, unlike the UN, Russia has collected thousands of volumes of cases on the atrocities of the Ukrainian side. It describes not only chilling facts involving some anonymous sadists, but also very specific data with ranks and names.
This means that sooner or later every war criminal will get what he deserves.
Our courts have already passed judgment on 500 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers accused of war crimes. Fifty of them received the highest measure of punishment – in the absence of the death penalty, this is a life sentence. And many more will yet find themselves in the dock at the new Nuremberg. Russian law enforcement officers are offering a reward for information about the “particularly distinguished.” In particular, the website of the Ryazan UMVD states that a reward of one million rubles is offered for information about the location of two executioners from “Kraken”* – 29-year-old Konstantin Nemichev** and 31-year-old Sergei Velichko**.
A generous reward is promised for information. Screenshot: UMVD for the Ryazan Region
[At one time, the Ukronazis may have scoffed at this proposition, but now the West can no longer deny that Russia is winning this conflict and will soon enough be in total control of the entirety of what we call Ukraine. It will be really difficult for these criminals to escape]
There is no doubt that sooner or later these two and other war criminals will be captured. In any case, the field commanders of the Chechen campaigns were liquidated to the last man, but the ordinary torturers are still being caught and given really long sentences. Russia knows how to wait and is merciless to its enemies.

The BIG news is that ambassador Huckabee, a rabid “Christian” Zionist, has never once protested the genocide in Palestine, but now that the Ben Gurion airport has been hit with very little damage to life and limb, he wants to wipe out tiny Yemen with block buster missiles.
When will any prominent US official come up with the idea of pressuring Israel to stop starving children? In the case of the Resistance (including the Houthis, and presumably, Iran), the main goal is to end the genocide, but the psychotic western regimes prefer to murder the Resistance fighters rather than give up their illegal and immoral murders. It looks like we are in competition with Adolph.
I have never seen such in-your-face depravity — and all in the name of “Christianity”!

Houthis announced a hypersonic missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport
Text: Anton Antonov
The Yemeni Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) struck Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, said their armed forces spokesman Yahya Saria. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans for retaliatory strikes on Yemen. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee proposed using US B-2 bombers.
[Interestingly, Israel claims it shot down the missile, but no air defense system can intercept a hypersonic missile, so add that to the gazillionth despicable lie told by the rogue state of Israel]
Saria said that the operation using the Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile successfully achieved its goal. "The missile forces of the Yemeni armed forces carried out a military operation, attacking Ben Gurion Airport," TASS quotes him as saying, citing Al Masirah.
According to Saria, the airport's operations were suspended after the strike. In addition, three Israeli cities – Ashkelon, Tel Aviv and Eilat – were attacked using drones, targeting “sensitive objects,” he said.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would retaliate against Yemen in a similar manner to its actions against Iran. According to Katz, “anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have that hand cut off.”
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee suggested using B-2s: “We thought we were done with missiles flying at Israel, but the Houthis just lit one above us in Israel. <...> Maybe these B-2 bombers should pay a visit to Yemen!”
As a newspaper reported, last week, Houthi armed groups announced a successful attack on a strategic facility in Israel’s Be’er Sheva using a ballistic missile.

In Odessa, they are expecting a purge, in Kharkov and Sumy - isolation and strangulation: Underground activist told about the plans of the Russian army
Since the beginning of 2024, according to one of the Ukrainian ministers, there have been only two days when Russian missiles and drones did not fly over Ukraine. Such figures speak not only of the density of fire pressure, but also of the systematic, planned work of the Russian Armed Forces to deplete the enemy's resources - primarily Western air defense systems and weapons supplies. A pro-Russian underground activist told about the plans of the Russian army. According to him, in the near future, they are expecting a mop-up in Odessa, and isolation and strangulation in Kharkov and Sumy.
The latest strikes carried out at night on the south and east of Ukraine only confirmed the thesis about constant fire pressure on the enemy. Even without a massive salvo, a series of Geranium drone attacks reduced the port infrastructure in Vilkovo to rubble, as well as the Ukrainian Armed Forces bases in the Akkerman area. The explosions were so powerful that they were observed in Odessa itself. They understand perfectly well that they are next. In Odessa, they are waiting for their own cleansing.[Odessa is majority Russian speaking and sympathetic to Russia]
The supply facilities and industrial hubs in Kharkov, Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk and Krivoy Rog were hit especially hard. The strikes are pinpoint, but destructive: they hit concentrations of equipment, warehouses, railway junctions and logistics facilities. In the area of active combat operations - in the area of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk - the strikes hit the defensive centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. All this may indicate the preparation of a larger-scale operation to liberate the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.
Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the Mykolaiv underground, commenting on the latest attacks, claims: the south of Ukraine, especially the Odessa region, is on the verge of a "deep purge". According to him, we are talking not just about military facilities, but about points of presence of foreign specialists and the main routes of arms supplies from Romania.
Striking Vilkovo twice in a row is not an accident, - explains Lebedev. - Once at the point of placement of foreigners [most likely NATO mercenaries and officers, generally labeled as “advisors.”], the second - at the storage of water drones and equipment. This is a clear signal: soon it will get hot in Odessa, he noted.
In parallel with the south, Russian forces are increasing pressure in the northeast. Kharkov and Sumy are becoming the objects of a carefully thought-out isolation tactic. According to Lebedev, the attacks here are aimed at completely blocking supplies and destroying logistical links. The strikes on the Lyubotin station near Kharkov, the destruction of railway infrastructure in Sumy and the control strikes in the morning indicate a systematic approach. [Russia goes out of its way to avoid urban warfare. Hence, the strategy of strangulation, ie, cutting off supplies to the enemy]
Russian forces are acting flexibly: they combine mass action with surgical precision. The goal is not just the destruction of objects, but a strategic severance of connections between the center, south and east of Ukraine, Lebedev writes in his Telegram channel.
He claims that the underground on Ukrainian territory is recording signs of preparations for the isolation of several large agglomerations at once. At the same time, we are talking not only about military, but also about political pressure. Lebedev openly stated that in the coming weeks we should expect "interesting and unexpected" statements on Ukraine. According to him, the recent call from French President Emmanuel Macron to Moscow was an attempt to negotiate with the Russian side the conditions for Kyiv's capitulation.
Although there is no official confirmation of this data, it fits into the general logic of what is happening. First - the systemic destruction of logistics and defense. Then - the cleansing of the southern regions. And, finally, strangulation through the blockade of cities like Kharkov and Sumy, where they are already beginning to feel a lack of resources and increasing isolation from the center.
Odessa is preparing for the arrival of Russia. At the right moment, the elimination of key figures will begin
Ukraine has not yet commented on the situation, but the actual destruction, disruptions in logistics and the aggravation of panic in the frontline cities speak for themselves. The Russian army, apparently, is implementing a plan of gradual pressure, not striving for an immediate breakthrough, but increasing attacks with a clear strategic calculation.
Earlier, as life.ru reported, there are currently about 70 thousand military personnel from 12 NATO countries in Romania, who are preparing for a possible operation to seize Odessa.

How NATO's New Romanian Base Motivates Russia to Win in Ukraine
Romania has begun to construct what may become NATO's largest European base near the Black Sea port city of Constanta. How could the base affect Russia's security?
Romania has kicked off a $2.7 billion project to expand the Romanian Air Force 57th Air Base Mihail Kogalniceanu in order to accommodate up to 10,000 NATO soldiers, as well as new runways, weapons platforms, and hangars for military aircraft. The upgraded base is expected to have a total perimeter of 30 kilometers and cover an area of roughly 3,000 hectares.
"NATO has pursued and is pursuing a policy of expanding its influence in zones that pose a threat to Russia. Apart from the bases in Kosovo, which the Americans have built over the past 10 years, there has never been such a serious facility in the Balkans," Leonid Reshetnikov, a retired lieutenant general of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), told Sputnik.
Located near the Black Sea port of Constanta, the new NATO base will be built just 130 km from Ukraine's border and around 300 km from the port city of Odessa. This means that the transatlantic alliance would move even closer to Russia, given that the nation's Crimean Republic shares a maritime border with Romania.
