Russia’s UN ambassador slaps down smart-ass Trump for presuming to know Putin
Russia’s UN ambassador raps Trump on the knuckles, refuting wild unsupported claim that Putin would pull out of Ukraine because he respects Trump.
Whenever anyone, including Trump, makes an assertion about what Putin would do under certain circumstances, be sure that that someone does not know Putin.
I’ll share a secret about Putin. He respects all world leaders because he believes fervently in the multipolar world order where all nations’ sovereignty is respected.
However, he would never change course in a military or political decision simply because he supposedly has special respect for someone.
And here’s another secret. A few months ago, when someone in Putin’s presence mentioned the possibility of a Trump presidency, he bristled and reminded that Trump was the first to sanction Russia, even before the war – and that Trump tried to stop the Nord Stream pipeline by sanctioning the companies working on it. When they were thus forced to suspend operations, Russia had to pull a ship and a barge out of mothballs and finish the job itself.
In fact, he later said he would prefer Biden to Trump.
I explained here and here why the elite Establishment scum that tries to control America and the rest of the planet has clearly taken Trump’s side – namely, because Biden dared to defy Bibi and sent fewer genocide bombs to Israel for a very short time.
Our government is wholly controlled by the Israeli lobby. YOU the voter are nobody. Perhaps Putin knows this, and for that reason, spoke out in favor of Biden. Of course, he is not really in favor of either of these miscreants, but if he senses as I do that Biden is on the outs with the bosses for the reason I stated, then of course, he realizes that Trump is the stinkier of the 2 skunks.
Putin has a very good memory and remembers traitors and their moves against him and Russia. And he has said that he could never forgive a traitor.
The Russian ambassador to the UN swatted down Trump by saying, in diplomatic terms, that Russia's UN ambassador refutes Donald Trump's statement claiming he can end Russo-Ukraine war
Further, the ambassador said whether or not Putin would agree to negotiate with Ukraine would depend on circumstances on the ground and that he could not promise anything.
I might also add that Putin has said he would not negotiate with Zelensky under any circumstances because Mr Z is no longer legally the president of Ukraine. His term expired May 21, although the Ukraine authorities and the West are pretending Z is still president.
Even if Mr Zelensky agrees to negotiate by proxy, as he hinted might happen, knowing Putin’s strict adherence to law, I think we can be sure Putin would not agree even to meet with a proxy if that proxy were representing Zelensky.
The only reason we are fighting a war in Ukraine is because people think they know Putin.
The witless wonders in the Biden team thought they could count on Putin never to invade Ukraine because he would see that as too risky.
Now they are still pretending to know that Putin would never dare to attack a NATO country in retaliation for an attack on Russia from there. However, if, for example, an F-16 were to take off from, say, Poland and attack Russia, even if the plane were piloted by a Ukrainian pilot, then I would be surprised if Putin did NOT retaliate by striking the Polish airfield from which the offending plane took off!
He knows that under international law, that is a legitimate reason for such retaliation.

Special operation, July 2: Russian Armed Forces hit nine Ukrainian aircraft
The Russian Armed Forces hit 9 Ukrainian aircraft in one day
Combat work of rocket artillery of the RF Armed Forces - RIA Novosti, 1920, 07/02/2024
MOSCOW, July 2 - RIA Novosti. Russian troops hit nine aircraft of the Ukrainian air force in one day, the Dutch authorities are preparing to send the first batch of F-16 fighters to Kiev, and air defense shot down 11 drones over the Crimea, Belgorod and Bryansk oblasts.
Russian Armed Forces hit nine Ukrainian aircraft
The total losses of Ukrainian troops per day amounted to 1,800 soldiers, as follows from the report of the Russian Ministry of Defense. During the day, nine aircraft of Ukrainian Air Force were hit. As a result of a group strike with precision weapons on the Mirgorod airfield in the Poltava oblast, five Su-27 aircraft of the enemy air force were destroyed and two were damaged. Two more Ukrainian aircraft: a MiG-29 and a Su-27 were shot down by Russian air defense systems. [I think this is a good indication of how long the F-16s will last] Also during the day, six Storm Shadow cruise missiles made in Great Britain, a Hammer guided aerial bomb made in France, a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system made in the USA, as well as 81 unmanned aerial vehicles, including Bayraktar TB2 made in Turkey, were shot down.

Russian military personnel hit a Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) facility near the city of Volchansk in the Kharkov oblast with a heavy FAB-3000 aerial bomb. A video recording of the attack was obtained by Izvestia.

The footage shows a large hemisphere of flame growing on the ground. Then a thick column of black smoke rises into the sky. After just ten seconds, the smoke turns gray and reaches a huge height, which is why it should be visible from several kilometers away. At the same time, everything on the ground within a large radius from the epicenter is covered in rising dust.
Previously, a video was published depicting the use of Fa AB-3000 with a universal glide and correction module on a building used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Liptsy, Kharkov oblast.
The most powerful: why the use of FAB-3000 can change the course of the air defense system
2 July 2024, 04:42
Let us recall that the first use of the FAB-3000 in the special operation zone became known on June 20 - an attack on a Ukrainian militants’ target in the Kharkov oblast was filmed by a reconnaissance drone.

"RV": a massive air strike was carried out on Kiev
"RV": a massive air strike with cruise missiles was carried out on targets in Kiev
Matvey Ignatiev
On the night of June 2, the Russian army launched a massive combined air strike on Kiev using cruise missiles and drones. This was reported by the Telegram channel “RV” channel.
“Targets in the Ukrainian capital were simultaneously attacked by kamikaze drones and cruise missiles,” the report said.
Note that the attack was allegedly carried out by Kh-101/555 missiles and Geran-2 drones.
On the night of June 2, the mayor of Kiev Vitaliy Klitschko reported explosions in the capital of Ukraine. As Klitschko wrote in his Telegram channel, the city has an air defense system.
Earlier it was reported that an air raid warning was declared in Kiev and four other oblasts of Ukraine. Sirens sounded in the Kiev, Zhitomir, Chernihiv and Vinnytsia oblasts. In addition, the alarm was declared in the Odessa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkov and Cherkassy oblasts, as well as in the areas of the Donetsk People's Republic and Zaporozhye oblast controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.

Congress declares a LIE to be true. Says anti-Zionism is tantamount to anti-Semitism. Well, folks, if they really mean this, then there is a large and growing number of anti-Semitic Jews in the US.
Our thanks to JS for this:
Text of the resolution:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/888/text
Note that this resolution specifically endorses the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish State.
EXCERPT:
Whereas Israel is the only Jewish State
Here then is what this endorsement really means, in the words of those who hold office in that state:
Israel is not a state of all its citizens. According to the nation-state law we passed, Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and them alone.”
-- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 10 March 2019 (Quoted in Haaretz, 11 March 2019)
And here is the Zionist who was Minister of Justice of the State of Israel when this law was enacted spelling out what it was intended to do:
“Israel is a Jewish state. It isn’t a state of all its nations. That is, equal rights to all citizens but not equal national rights. […] There are places where the character of the State of Israel as a Jewish state must be maintained and this sometimes comes at the expense of equality.”
-- Ayelet Shaked, Israeli Justice Minister, 12 February 2018 (quoted in Haaretz, 12 Feb 2018)
And here is the Knesset and the Supreme Court confirming in no uncertain terms that equality of all citizens has absolutely NO place in the Zionist vision for the “Jewish and democratic state”:
Israel's parliament rejects equal rights bill
The Israeli parliament has rejected a draft bill affirming citizens' right to equality. According to a report by Israeli activist Yossi Gurvitz for Mondoweiss, the Knesset voted down the bill by 71-38. 'Basic Law': Equality', drafted by Meretz MK Mossi Raz, stated: "The State of Israel shall maintain equal political rights amongst all its citizens, without any difference between religions, race and sex." In the vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition – which has only 61 seats in the Knesset – "enjoyed the support" of opposition party Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid. In addition, Gurvitz reported, "many members" of the Labor Party-dominated Zionist Camp faction "fled the hall before the vote".
Middle East Monitor, December 13, 2018
Israeli Supreme Court refuses to allow discussion of full equal rights & 'state of all its citizens’ bill in Knesset
The Israeli Supreme Court early this afternoon, Sunday, 30 December 2018, dismissed the petition filed by Adalah on behalf of 3 Knesset Members against the Knesset Presidium's decision to reject their proposed bill Basic Law: State of all its Citizens. In doing so, the Supreme Court refused to even allow a discussion of equal rights and a state for all of its citizens in the Knesset.
by Adalah (The Legal Center for Arab-Minority Rights in Israel, 30/12/2018
Is democracy possible in a state that unequivocally refuses to guarantee equal rights for all of its citizens?
In my view: There is absolutely no place for religion in the political identity of any state that calls itself a democracy.
But that does not bother even one of the members of our House of Representatives! We are a lot further down the road to a fascist two-party tyranny than I heretofore imagined.
The resolution, while acknowledging historical facts about the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews, notably omitted any mention of the Palestinians and their historical claims in the region. Prior to the influx of European Zionists, 95 per cent of the population of Palestine comprised of Muslim and Christian Palestinians. Despite the fact that only 5 per cent of Jews were native and indigenous to Palestine, Tuesday’s resolution declared that Jewish people are “native to the land of Israel.” [actually, the Palestinians are native to the land. The Jews were there 2000 years ago but left]
Votes were cast, despite expressing frustration over the resolution. Rep Jamaal Bowman of New York questioned the frequent recurrence of such resolutions. “It seems like we vote on some form of this resolution every single week,” said Bowman. “Do Palestinians have a right to exist? Is someone going to write that resolution? And when it’s written, are we going to vote on it, or are we going to continue to have one conversation without the other?”
I attach PDF copies of that part of the Congressional Record that covers debate on this resolution. Where was Jamaal Bowman’s voice and the voices of others of the so-called Squad during that debate? They are all frauds, cowards and hypocrites

College Kids Are Putting Clergymen To Shame
By Chuck Baldwin
May 2, 2024
(To subscribe to my columns at no cost, click here. https://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Subscribe.aspx)
Last Sunday, I delivered a sermon epilogue of seven minutes that shares the same title as this column. In this seven-minute video clip, I praise the kids on our college and university campuses who are willing to risk their academic and financial futures to peacefully protest Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza. And I rebuke America’s evangelical pastors for sitting back and letting college kids do what they should be doing as spiritual leaders.
What we are watching before our very eyes is a glaring indictment against the religious/governmental/media/educational establishments, whose machinations are enforced via 1984-esque police-state campaigns, and the inevitable mushrooming political/societal/cultural and even religious resistance that is obligatory for any nation that wishes to be free.
What we are witnessing is HUGE! It is so much larger than most people in my generation realize. I call my generation the “Wilderness Generation,” because it has allowed itself to be controlled by the forces of subjugation and is wandering aimlessly in a wilderness of blindness, indifference, self-absorption and pride. The result is an American nation that is but a shell of itself. It is a nation controlled by criminals, gangsters, thieves, murderers and god-makers.
Natural Law requires that such a condition MUST be challenged and resisted. Jefferson put it this way:
The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It wasn’t until the wanderers who came out of Egypt—after wandering aimlessly in rebellion and blindness—eventually died out that a fresh generation that was not absorbed with the sins of their fathers could then march forward into a new and better land.
My generation has rebelliously and stubbornly given itself (body, mind and soul) to the evils of Marxist-Zionism, created by the likes of Herzl, Ben-Gurion and the Rothschilds.
And though Americans—especially evangelical Christians—should have seen the murderous, genocidal nature of the Ashkenazi Zionists, whose violent fruit began growing in earnest in December of 1947 and continues to this very day, it took the genocidal war against Gaza to awaken, not America’s conservative politicians or America’s evangelical pulpits or the mainstream news media, of course, but kids on America’s college and university campuses.
Side note: To understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you MUST read Ilan Pappe’s blockbuster book The Ethnic Cleansing Of Palestine. Pappe is a renowned Israeli historian, and his book is the VERY BEST book written on the subject. I’ll say it straight out: If you have not read this book, you don’t have a clue as to what is really going on (and has been going on for a long time) in Palestine. Buy this book!

Ukraine war
Fast and furious: ..
The Russian forces are now using motorcycles with machine guns mounted on them to wreak havoc on the battlefield. They are faster than armored vehicles and can outmaneuver the enemy. According to western sources there are parts of the battlefield where these biker troops are the main Russian forces.

Of course, Washington is 100% responsible for the Gaza genocide!
The West engineered the Dresden genocide, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki genocide, the Korean and Vienamese gnocides, etc. Every US war after WWII was a genocide. None of the states we attacked were in any way enemies of the US people.
Our thanks to JS for this:
On Friday, Reuters reported that the United States has sent Israel 14,000 2,000-pound bombs since October for use in the Gaza genocide. These massive bombs, among the largest in the US arsenal, are capable of destroying entire city blocks and can kill people up to 1,200 feet away.
There is only one explanation for why the US has sent so many of these vastly destructive weapons for use in a densely packed urban area: The Biden administration is consciously and deliberately seeking the complete destruction of Gaza and the massacre of as many Palestinians as possible.
Israel’s “war” in Gaza was, in fact, conceived by its architects in Washington as a war of annihilation. The systematic destruction of civilian homes, schools and hospitals is not an accidental byproduct, but the deliberate aim of US policy. The goal is not to minimize, but to maximize the civilian body count.
It is a genocide by design, planned and organized in Washington.
Me
And it is supported wholeheartedly by the Evangelical church!

Hi Don,
Can you explain to the people just "what" the National Debt" is ?
We all know how much it is but, who, or what, do we owe this money to?
Me
Thanks for asking. The debt is owed to the suckers who bought US sovereign bonds. As long as they can sell their bonds back to the govt and redeem them for cash, everything will be fine.
But it is a Ponzi scheme and some day, Lord knows when, the bonds will no longer be redeemable. THAT is default.
And it will be a world of pain for the US dollar and for everyone who spends and saves USD.
The warning sign was when the Fed was obliged to print up unbacked currency to pay for the increasingly gargantuan share of the debt that was not covered by bond sales.
The strong dollar was birthed at Bretton Woods, as explained here
The Bretton Woods system based on gold lasted until the 70s when Richard Nixon abolished this leaving the USD unbacked. But his advisors came up with the idea of making a deal with the Saudis to back the buck with oil. A deal was signed with King Faisal that birthed the so-called petrodollar. We offered Saudi military protection for their oil and their government and all went swimmingly for decades.
But the BRICS system was initiated several decades ago and eventually began to be more attractive than the petrodollar, and just very recently, Saudi let the petrodollar agreement expire. The Saudis also has been selling off the unbacked dollar-denominated bonds.
There is now nothing standing in the way of a new BRICS currency.
We’re in a brave new world. We lost nothing, but the elites lost the world.

ERIC ZUESSE—Perhaps the neoconservatives will say that this is Russian propaganda, or Chinese propaganda, or Iranian propaganda, or by some other country that neoconservatives hope to conquer, but they won’t be able to contest any of this by the numbers, because all of these numbers come from the U.S. Government itself. The actual propagandists are the neocons themselves, and they are funded by U.S. billionaires, who have been profiting from all of this.

Translation from Turkish with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
It is good to get the Turkish viewpoint because the Turks are unabashedly furious with Israel and are interested in showing how the Resistance can win against the genocidal maniacs in Tel Aviv.
The entire axis of resistance will shift to Lebanon
It is said that if a war is declared against Hezbollah, resistance forces in the Middle East may flow to Lebanon. Tehran has stated this clearly. According to US intelligence reports, Russia plans to provide military support to 'Iran and its proxies'. Moscow also gives signs in this direction.
01 July 2024
The entire Axis of Resistance will shift to Lebanon! Has the Lebanon-Israel War started? Lebanon and Israel attacks are latest situation
Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations made statements that marked the weekend regarding the tension on the southern Lebanon border. He noted that if Israel launched a "large-scale military offensive" against Hezbollah, "a devastating war would begin." He declared that "all options are on the table, including the full participation of all resistance fronts." [these include Hamas, Hezbollah (in Lebanon), the Iraqi resistance, including al-Hashd al-Shaabi), the Yemeni Houthis, the pro-Assad groups in Syria and a Bahrain resistance group]
Israeli Foreign Minister Katz responded to Tehran as follows: “A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed. "If Hezbollah does not cease fire and withdraw from southern Lebanon, we will take full force action against it until security is restored and the people return to their homes." [kind of optimistic. They also said they were going to take down Hamas]
“Tehran is fighting us on seven fronts: HAMAS and Hezbollah, as well as the Houthis, militias in Iraq and Syria, the West Bank and Iran itself,” Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday. "Their aim is to organize a combined land attack and a combined missile bombardment from various fronts," he said. He claimed that the "Iran axis" was "taking action to conquer the Middle East", including Saudi Arabia. [Isn’t it funny how a genocidal tyrant wants to pretend he is saving the world from tyranny?]
'ALL US INTERESTS ARE THE TARGET'
According to Kassem Kassir, an analyst close to Hezbollah, "The Axis of Resistance will take part in countering any Israeli military action against Lebanon." Asaib Ehlil Hak, one of the leaders of the Iraqi Resistance, wrote in X a few days ago: "If Israel attacks Hezbollah, America should know that it has made all its interests in the region and in Iraq a target and a danger."
"Hezbollah leaders in different countries will seek help and support from many groups with transnational tendencies, especially in the Resistance Axis," said Renad Mansour, Iraq Initiative Project Director at the UK-based think tank Chatham House. he wrote. Apart from those in Iraq, these groups may also include foreign and local fighters supporting Bashar Assad in Syria.
THE MOST WILLING YEMEN
Another group that would be very willing to participate in such an initiative is, of course, Yemeni fighters. [Yes, and they now have ballistic missiles] Yemen expert Nick Brumfield from the Washington-based Foreign Policy Research Institute made the following assessment: "Perhaps more than any other group in the Resistance Axis, Ansarullah attaches importance to its relations with Hezbollah. Hezbollah has been an Axis to Ansarullah for years, becoming the main contractor providing assistance in it.”
The Yemeni army and the Iraqi Resistance have recently carried out four joint operations targeting ships in Israeli ports. Two of these were made last week. These military activities brought a new dynamic to the resistance front. According to Iraq expert Mansour, the two groups have been working in coordination for years. Ansarullah has had a representative office in Baghdad for a long time. The analyst adds that some [Iraqi] Hashd al-Shaabi groups have longer-standing, historical relations with Ansarullah forces.
Iraqi Middle East expert Tamer Badawi says these organizations will probably want to take action if war breaks out. Badawi raises the possibility of “intensifying joint operations and perhaps expanding the partnership to include more armed actors.” But if Hezbollah deems it necessary, the Iraqi expert says, a land invasion would “lead to an influx of foreign fighters into Lebanon.”
RUSSIA AND AMERICA FACE TO FACE
US intelligence officials are also concerned that Israel's invasion of Lebanon could further ignite resistance forces in the region. However, Americans' real nightmare is that Russia will increase its support for the Resistance Axis. Officials speaking to Middle East Eye (MEE) say that the source of concerns is US intelligence information. According to this claim, Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering providing anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles to Ansarullah forces.
Sadly and tragically, Donald Trump had close ties to Roy Cohn who, as chief legal counsel to the Senator Joe McCarthy hearings in the 1950s, was part of the "anti-communist, red scare hysteria/witchhunt" in America. This began with the House UnAmerican Activities Committee hearings in 1948 of which Richard Nixon played a part in the Alger Hiss spy "story".
These two events caused a profound paradigm shift in America from the optimism of victory over Nazi Germany with our close ally Russia to cause fear and suspicion of Russians lasting to the modern era Russophobia. Donald Trump came out of that swamp via Roy Cohn and it's why the Russiagate narrative was launched against him; to make sure he stays in that swamp.https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/huac
