US-backed Nazis pay dearly for killing Russian civilians
The US not only aids and abets genocide in Palestine, it also supports Nazis in Ukraine in their murder of civilians. A massive air strike just wiped out their soldiers and commanders.
The US government not only aids and abets Israeli genocide in Palestine, it also supports Nazis in Ukraine in their immoral ethnic cleansing murder of civilians in Russian speaking regions. A massive air strike in Odessa today has wiped out hundreds of their foot soldiers and entire command posts. The missiles also killed numerous French mercenaries — the ones Macron thought would change the course of the war.
Here's your daily air strike update for March 16, 2024

RETALIATORY STRIKE ON ODESSA. THE TRAITOR BATTALION WAS HIT BY ISKANDER. HUGE LOSSES
Decision-making centers were attacked in Odessa. First, a group of police leaders were “visited” by Iskander OTRK missiles. Then they hit the temporary deployment points of militants of the national formations “Lyut” and “Tsunami”. During a missile attack on the Mriya sanatorium, a large group of mercenaries from France and other countries was hit. The total number of those killed could reach half a thousand. Simply huge losses for the Ukrainian Armed Forces almost all at once.
This is ruinous for the non-brothers
Enemy sources reported that several explosions occurred in Odessa. These were presumably due to missile strikes. Pro-government sources of Ukraine immediately began to disseminate information about alleged attacks on residential buildings and so on, but the situation is clarified by the largest telegram channel in Odessa.
There are persistent, and already ubiquitous, rumors about the strike that the highest police officials of Odessa could be there, writes the author of “Typical Odessa”.
It is specified that among the dead are Alexander Gostishchev, a former deputy of the GUNP [National Police] commander of the Tsunami national battalion, as well as Sergei Tetyukhin, a former deputy mayor.
Boris Rozhin's Telegram channel (Colonelcassad) reported that the deputy chief of the Odessa police, Dmitry Abramenko, was also among the dead.
Odessa. A powerful missile strike killed dozens of soldiers and officers of the Tsunami battalion, constituted of Odessa police officers. Including almost the entire leadership of the Tsunami battalion, including the commander, was destroyed. Employees of the Tsunami battalion, many of them neo-Nazis, participated in the massacres of civilians. And every single one of them are traitors to their Motherland, Russia, adds the telegram channel “Markov’s Logic”, which is run by the famous political scientist Sergei Markov.
Footnote:
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the plans of the SBU to conduct raids in Nikolaev
07/09/2022
July 9 - Ryazan.life. The leadership of the Kyiv junta brought the Tsunami punitive battalion to the Nikolaev area. It is planned to carry out acts of intimidation against the Russian-speaking population.
Ukrainian authorities ordered punitive raids in Nikolaev to identify pro-Russian citizens. It consists of a motley group: SBU officers, Nazis, mercenaries. Discontent with the Zelensky regime is brewing in the region. Punishers “work” according to the patterns of the Nazi occupiers and carry out acts of terror. This will be accompanied by robberies, looting, and violence, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. (Westerners have forgotten what Nazism is. It is marked by ethnic cleansing – of the Third Reich/Israeli style – and extreme cruelty toward other ethnicities. That’s what we’ve got in Ukraine. It is disappointing that Tucker Carlson said in an interview that he didn’t understand denazification and that it was “the dumbest think I’d ever heard of.” What I find really weird about this is that Tucker had 2 hours to ask Putin to explain but chose not to understand and to condemn Putin for this. Psst, Tucker, Putin is not responsible for your ignorance of history!)
A representative of the LPR – Lugansk People’s Republic – told reporters that with the liberation of Donbass, residents will return, and junta agents will arrive with them. Special departments will have to solve such problems.
Earlier, Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) Vitaly Kiselyov admitted that after the complete liberation of the republic, thousands of people will return to it.]
He later added that the missile strike destroyed... “apparently more than five thousand Ukrainian military personnel [possibly a typo. Text above mentions 500. I will keep you updated on further details as I receive them], including the entire leadership of the neo-Nazi Tsunami battalion. Huge losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Very accurate intelligence work.”
It should be noted that on the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" military expert, public figure Eduard Basurin, referring to the analytical data of the American intelligence community on the likely development of the theater of military operations in 2024, clarified: "They indicate several points that could be painful for Ukraine. And at most they called two cities painful - Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk. In Ukrainian – Dnepr [actually, Dnipro]. The capture of Slavyansk gives us nothing. The capture of the agglomeration Slavyansk - Konstantinovka - Kramatorsk - Druzhkovka. The capture of Kharkov also gives us nothing. But the capture of Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Nikolaev and Odessa is a collapse for them."
Wings "Tornado-S" and "Iskander-M"
[The Tornado-S is a modernized version of the Soviet-made BM-30 Smerch123. It is a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) that can fire up to 12 missiles simultaneously in a coordinated attack4. The Tornado-S offers the capabilities of a precision weapon thanks to the use of guided rockets, which can hit both stationary and mobile targets12. It is able to blast an area of 2.6 miles and has a range of 75 miles.

The Russian military also hit the command and staff center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the 36D6 combat mode radar detector in the Chernigov oblast. The objects were destroyed using the Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system and the Iskander-M operational-tactical complex. [My best guess is that the Tornado-S was located in Russian territory across the border from Chernigov because the Tornado has a maximum range of less than 100 miles and the Russians have not advanced anywhere near Chernigov in Ukraine]
A video shows how a Russian drone first calculates targets for attack - the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a radar station. The radar is the first to be disabled. Then the cluster munitions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters are struck.
The commentary to the video states that a quasi-ballistic missile equipped with a cluster warhead with 54 fragmentation warheads initiated at an altitude of ten meters was used to hit the enemy command post. This is clearly visible from the many explosions in the air above the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
A 300-mm 9M542/544 guided missile with a range of 120 km, as well as a 9M723K5 operational-tactical quasi-ballistic missile equipped with a cluster warhead based on 54 fragmentation warheads initiated at a height of 10 m above the surface, were used.
According to Russian Weapons, all modifications of the OTBR 9M723-1/K5 Iskander-M models of 2023-2024 received GLONASS correction modules placed in niches previously used as containers for jamming decoys to overcome enemy missile defense barriers. This step ensured a reduction in the circular probable deviation to 15-17 m.
Let us remember that similar tactics were used to eliminate Ukrainian helicopters near the border with Russia. First, cluster munitions exploded over the equipment so that the pilots did not have time to get to their vehicles, and then a rocket flew into each helicopter.
Locals leaked data to Russians
War correspondent Oleg Blokhin writes about the consequences of the attack on Odessa, which the Ukrainian authorities will try to obfuscate:
As a result of a missile strike on Odessa in the area of the Victoria children's sanatorium, militants of the Lyut and Tsunami assault special forces were killed. The Victoria sanatorium became a target as a result of data transmitted to our intelligence that the elite Ukrainian special forces “Lyut” (Ukrainian for “Rage”) and “Tsunami” were stationed on its territory. "Lyut" and "Tsunami": what are these units? "Lyut" ("Rage") is a united assault brigade of the National Police of Ukraine, a paramilitary unit for special operations. "Tsunami" is an assault regiment within "Lyuti", the special forces of the elite Special Purpose Police Department.
The military correspondent also provides a number of details about the losses. These figures, we note, are still quite modest.
What is currently known about the confirmed killed and wounded militants as a result of the attack on their location in the Victoria sanatorium. There were 9 dead, among them the commander of "Lyuti". There were 14 wounded. Seven of them were serious. The number of killed and wounded Ukrainian soldiers may increase as the rubble is cleared and information is received from all medical institutions in Odessa.

What was called Novorossiya [New Russian] back in tsarist days – Kharkov, Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Nikolayev and Odessa – were not part of Ukraine then. These territories were given to Ukraine in the 1920s by the Soviet Government [the Bolsheviks, after the Revolution of 1917—Caulds]. Why? Who knows? They were won by Potemkin and Catherine the Great in a series of well-known wars. Russia lost these territories for various reasons, but the people remained.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, March 18, 2014, in announcing the annexation of Crimea
Like the people in Crimea, the people of the Donbass are Russian. By language, culture and ethnicity, they are Russian. Once those provinces may have been part of Ukraine; today, they are part of the Russian Federation.
Russia is a multi-nation state. Ethnicity doesn't preclude a person from being Russian. The Russian nation embraces smaller ethnic communities, as long as these communities identify themselves as Russian; sharing the Russian language, its culture and its history. That is why young Chechen men have volunteered, in large numbers, to join Russian armed forces in Ukraine, in their view, defending the security of the Russian nation. Chechnya was virtually destroyed in two wars against Russia; why would Chechens, now, defend Russia? Because: 1) Russia upholds their ethnicity as a Chechen nation within the Russian Federation, and 2) Russia rebuilt Chechnya to be better than it was before. Chechens have prospered by being part of the Russian Federation.
Chechens, while loyal to the Russian Federation, are predominantly Muslim. Their religious faith does not exclude them from being part of the Russian nation.
In the 1990's and most of the 2000's, Russia was at war with Chechnya ... bloody, hate-filled wars. Wars even more intense than the current war between Russia and Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin met with Akhmad Kadyrov, the father of the current head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. They did something amazing in today's world: they sat down together, listened to one another and agreed that the war was stupid.
Kadyrov was firm about one thing: Chechens are not Russians, they wanted recognition as a sovereign nation, to live as Chechens. Putin agreed; if Chechnya entered the Russian Federation, it would be as an independent, self-governing republic, not part of Russia, but a member of the Federation.
And then they discussed religion. Putin told Kadyrov that Chechnya could even become a Muslim republic if it chose to, but on one condition: The Orthodox Christian minority in Chechnya must be allowed to worship as they choose. Kadyrov responded, basically, "we have no problem with that," and the two buried the hatchet.
Billions of Rubles have been spent to rebuild war-ravaged Chechnya, Grozny is now a very modern prosperous city. Chechens are, for the most part, very loyal to the Russian Federation, and many Chechen men have volunteered to serve in Ukraine.
Americans and Canadians are easily motivated by propaganda. Easily led into new wars, excited by promises of quick, easy, decisive, and oh-so-glorious victories. Russians, because of their history, are very slow to mobilize, to harness, but when they commit, they never give up; their attention is never diverted from the single goal of total victory. And that frightens the West. Ukraine is already defeated. Nothing will change that.
Russians are fighting for Russia. And there is nothing that will stop them. Not this time. They're in this for the long haul.
In my opinion, the US and NATO are forcing Ukraine to capitulate on terms far less favourable than they could've had two years ago [that neutrality agreement was negotiated in Turkey in March and April 2022]. The U.S. and NATO chose to prolong and escalate the war in a failed attempt to defeat and weaken Russia. Which means the lives lost in those two years were sacrificed. Unnecessarily.

There’s a lot for the Occupying Entity to worry about – to say nothing of the Houthis

The occupation threatens military operations in the West Bank, and the resistance is growing stronger
West Bank Mujahideen
Today dawn witnessed an arrest campaign in the occupied West Bank, as the occupation forces arrested 4 individuals from various regions, including the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Juma al-Tayeh, from the city of Ramallah, and handed over reports to a number of young men for intelligence review. This comes in the context of the occupation army’s announcement of “ongoing preparations to implement a series of plans to expand arrest operations and entry into West Bank cities, with a focus on Nablus and Jenin,” amid escalating confrontations and Palestinian clashes with soldiers.
In Bethlehem, clashes broke out, resulting in casualties among Palestinians who responded to the occupation forces storming the city. Today, the occupation army radio revealed that soldiers were exposed to a shooting attack near the security fence at the “Jalama” crossing (Jenin). This incident occurred last week, but the occupation forces remained silent about the matter under the pretext that there were no casualties. As for Nablus, a remarkable event occurred with the occupation’s introduction of drones in raids and arrest operations, as resistance fighters opened fire on an occupation reconnaissance drone flying in the Balata camp, east of the city.
In the face of this reality, and in light of the occupation’s recognition of the weakness of the Palestinian Authority and its “grip”, especially in the areas of the northern West Bank, the Hebrew Channel 12 reported that “Israel has put on the table for approval a decision during which a very large military operation will be carried out in Nablus and Jenin if the Authority does not work on Preventing operations, and precision air fire [Israeli air fire is never precision. Its aim is to kill civilians] will be used in military operations.” While Palestinian military analysts believe that “Israel will not be able to restrain Jenin and the resistance brigades. On the contrary, this situation will grow more intense and more widespread. If Israel expands its aggression against the West Bank, everyone will see an escalation in operations in the heart of Tel Aviv and the occupied interior in general.” 1948. Meaning that it will open within itself “Depayer’s Nest.” [Sorry, I could find no further information on this expression]
Likewise, the former officer in the occupation [Israeli] air force, Omer Danek, commenting on the use of marches and aerial fire, said that “the results may be adverse,” as “air power is disconnected from reality on the ground in one way or another, and the chance of mistakes occurring is great,” especially since the West Bank region is "Crowded" with settlers [illegal Jewish settlers who enjoy government protection even when they commit crimes]. He considered that "the army leaders demanded the introduction of attack aircraft in an attempt to convince the Israeli public that the occupation army is doing everything in its power to restore calm."
This escalating state of resistance, both organized and factional-driven at times, and popular among the Palestinian people in most cases, constitutes the main factor threatening “Israel’s stability,” and military analysts of the occupation draw parallels between this threat and that coming from the northern front with Hezbollah.
The repercussions of the threat of West Bank resistance are not limited to the military level, but rather extend to the level of politics in the occupation [meaning Israel here]. “The government is facing new elections on the first of next November, and it is afraid that the public will view it as weak in the Palestinian arena. On the other hand, there could be a long process that will not end with a clear advantage in Israel’s favor and will extend into long and useless skirmishes that could harm the government’s image and turn the unstable security situation into a major issue in the election campaign,” according to Amos Harel, a military analyst for the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.
In his last speech, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah greeted the youth in the West Bank, saying, “What youth? The youth who bet that they would forget, the youth who bet that these were the generation of the Internet and the Facebook generation and that they would be from another world. So this generation of Palestinian youth From the young men of 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22... they go to carry out operations with all courage and audacity,” stressing that “the honorable people in the world and all the oppressed in the world and your Palestinian people look to you and place their hopes in you.”

Poll in Europe shows Macron’s weird idea of sending European boots on the ground in Ukraine will fail bigly.
Further war with Russia in Ukraine and Macron’s proposal to put European boots on the ground there will be a hard sell to the populations of NAT0 countries.
While Russia was perceived as the number one threat in Germany in last year’s Munich Security Index, it has now slipped back to seventh place in the annual report
FEBRUARY 12, 2024
BY SUZANNE LYNCH
Excerpts:
The pattern is replicated across the G7 group of countries — the threat posed by Russia was cited as the top concern in surveys conducted in late 2022 for the 2023 Munich Security Index, but has dropped to fourth overall a year later.
The findings come at a crucial moment in the war, as Ukraine seeks to shore up European support as the United States’ commitment to the war effort falters due to continuing Republican opposition in the U.S. Congress.
The European Union agreed a €50 billion aid package for Kyiv earlier this month, but there's already evidence it’s insufficient as Ukraine’s financial needs grow by the day.
Concern about mass migration and radical Islamic terrorism now top the list of threats in Germany — a turnaround from the previous year.
The threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism [This attitude is a result of Israelo-American disinformation. Hamas is not a terrorist organization. It is part of the Resistance Axis and is no threat at all to Europe] jumped to second place, compared to 16th last year. Mass migration as a result of war or climate change, which came in second last year, now sits at number one. The authors of the report attribute the trends to the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, noting the survey was undertaken in October and November last year.
“As in many other countries, the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 appears to have prompted a spike in German concern about radical Islamic terrorism,” [disinformation] the report notes, adding that “Germany now has the highest level of concern about migration among the countries surveyed.”
The survey, which interviewed 12,000 people last fall, also provides a bleak insight into the thinking of many of the world’s wealthiest countries. Large parts of the populations in G7 nations believe their countries will be less secure and wealthy in 10 years’ time, the report states. But the prospects for the so-called BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — are judged more positively by their populations.
A whopping 72 percent of the world's population now lives in autocracies, compared to 46 percent a decade ago. [This is undoubtedly the result of Western disinformation, which deems Russia and China to be autocracies, which they simply are not. Russia has more freedom of speech than the US, and the voters are not obstructed by the foreign lobby AIPAC, which effectively eliminates all candidates that refuse to sign on to Israel’s many wars against actors that are NOT enemies of the US. That in itself makes the US an autocracy. Further, Trump interfered with Chinese elections by enlisting the CIA to launch an anti-government campaign in China with internet users pretending to be Chinese and spreading lies about the government,
LOL: French President Emmanuel Macron wants to send French poodles a k.a. the French Foreign Legion to Ukraine to fight the Russians after they were kicked out of Africa!
