this guy literally funded the whole fucking thing and cant even read
I will never serve us again after this shit

Demented Joe: "Putin is losing the war in Iraq". And this guy can freely mess around on this planet instead of being kept in a padded cell. He even wants to go for re-election.......Geez


Biden has confused Iraq for Ukraine twice in the last 24 hours


It gets even better:
Joe Biden confused Ukraine and Iran during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
When speaking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Biden said that, Russian president Vladimir Putin would never "gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people" when he was supposed to refer to the Ukrainian population.
"We stand with you", Biden told Ukraine and its people.
"Putin may circle Kyiv" the president said "but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people" he continued.




So, Joe, what is it....Iraq or Iran........

Nothing to see here, just guys in a vehicle with Nazi insignia kidnapping people off the street to send to the frontline of a war sponsored wholly by western governments. Go back to sleep.



As Ukraine’s manpower on its frontlines starts to dwindle, military leaders are becoming increasingly desperate to locate new recruits to propel its counteroffensive against Russia forward; however, the number of young people volunteering for such a challenge has plummeted.

Meanwhile, even the NYT recognises the Ukrainian counteroffensive is finished.







50 minute analysis on Ukraine conflict. Interesting because it matches the views of a statesman and a military man.


Hosted by Mike Krupa for VotumTV, guests Col. Douglas Macgregor and former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Chas Freeman, discuss the real problems faced by Washington and their junior partners in NATO, following their disastrous proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. This strategic failure by the US and NATO may lead to an increasingly unstable, politically polarized and re-militarized Europe, as Washington struggles to see the world through a realistic 21st century lens. What will be left of Ukraine if the US-UK-NATO Axis powers continue to insist on a ‘no peace negotiations’ policy?

UK now acknowledge, as have Germany, US and Ukraine already, all out of weapons stocks.


Short frontline sitrep reviewing Ukraine gains after 1 month of counteroffensive and 20,000 dead (at a conservative count), 5km at one small point of the frontline and a bit more at another point, still nowhere near Russia's first defensive line and still 95% distance from the coastal objective.

Another attack on the Crimea bridge this morning.

@RoyalIntel_
What we know about Crimea Bridge attack:
- the first explosion was heard at 3:02am and the lights went off on the bridge. Traffic was stopped after a few minutes.
- at 3:20am, a 2nd explosion was heard near the railway bridge.
- A 3rd drone or missile was downed near Taman, heading towards the bridge after that.
- 2 people died and their child was injured.
- Railway traffic opened back up at 9am.


Meanwhile, there will be no more weapons for Ukraine, NATO has run out of ways to keep this shitshow on the road.




And,
SEAN BELL: UKRAINE WILL NOT RETURN TO CRIMEA AND DONBAS THROUGH DIPLOMATIC OR MILITARY WAYS.

And,
Former Special Assistant to US President Ronald Reagan, Doug Bendow, called on the US authorities to end the already lost conflict with Russia before it is too late.


But Zelensky is more concerned with what to do with all the Crimean traitors once he regains the territory


Ukraine will take a flexible approach in dealing with potential Russian collaborators in its planned liberation of Crimea, Kyiv's representative for the occupied peninsula says, as officials plan for the potential reintegration of some 2 million people living in the areas occupied by Moscow since 2014.
(conveniently forgetting Moscow has controlled Crimea for hundreds of years with Russia's Black Sea fleet based there since 1784)

Frontline Update;

Tonight, July 17, there were explosions on the so-called "Crimean bridge". As a result, many kilometers of traffic jams were formed. The first photos of the consequences of the “emergency” appeared on the network.
This is reported by Russian Telegram channels.
Because of the explosions, a many-kilometer traffic jam was formed at the entrance to the so-called "Crimean Bridge" in the Krasnodar Territory. It has over 1000 cars.
The first damage to the so-called "Crimean Bridge" after the explosions was published on social networks.
It is reported that the explosions occurred at 3:04 and 3:20 and were heard in different areas in Kerch. They also write about two victims in a car on the bridge.
The governor of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation confirmed the death of a man and a woman as a result of an emergency on the bridge.
The occupation "chairman" of Crimea Aksyonov announced an "extraordinary event" in the area of 145 pillars on the Crimean bridge. Road traffic has been halted, while rail traffic will soon resume, he said.
The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation reported damage to the roadway on the spans of the bridge, the structure of the spans on their supports.

The interesting issue concerning radiation detection in Ukraine is that after stating that radiation was detected, the West claims there is none. Russia claims to have bombed an ammunition depot containing depleted Uranium shells, which will contaminate the landscape. Britain supplied these shells to Ukraine – that must we know. Russia claims that a radioactive cloud is now drifting toward Western Europe, and the EU denies it. The EU will certainly not admit such a thing, for that would confirm that they gave Ukraine illegal weapons. On the other hand, denying that means people, crops, and animals can get sick, and then what, we blamed another virus?

Rumor:
Ukrainian Office of the President received a draft from the Biden Administration on the future funding of Ukraine.

Military assistance will be reduced by 7 times, and financial assistance by 5 times, but the Americans assured Ukraine that the EU will continue to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the same volumes.

Emergency meetings are already being held in Kiev to discuss how to reduce budget spending and find means to continue the war in 2024.

Emerging reports reveal NATO-made underwater attack drone(s), accompanied and directed by NATO aircraft flying very near the Crimean coast, executed an operation that damaged the Kerch bridge yet again.

I expect Russia to finally act against NATO ISR assets in the region.

MSM can no longer hide the fact that the Ukraine counteroffensive has failed and that they have run out of weapons, ammo and men.

The new narrative is that the conflict is now a stalemate forgetting that Russia has 300,000 men waiting behind their defences and another 200,000 in reserve.

MSM also say the solution for Ukraine's lack of man power is drones, Ukraine just need to build lots of drone factories forgetting that the Russian air force will just destroy the factories before they produce anything.
