Both the Axis of Resistance and Christian Orthodox Russia need to step up the game. Radically. The Forever Wars go full War OF Terror

Here’s a simple demonstration. Please allow me to present only two Exhibits, A and B.

Exhibit A

The stunning confirmation came directly from Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov, during a quite revealing interview on Rossiya TV. Ryabkov, extremely competent, is also the leading Russian sherpa for BRICS+, preparing the summit next October in Kazan.

Essentially, Russian intel discovered that Kiev intel was setting up the joint assassination of President Putin and Defense Minister Belousov during the Navy Day parade late last month in St. Petersburg.

Ryabkov was very cautious – as this is a matter of national security, involving several top agencies. When asked directly whether “an action was being prepared at the Main Naval Parade” against Putin, Ryabkov was not explicit: he only acknowledged the presence of “a certain connection with this kind of event” – according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Ryabkov called this provocation being prepared by Kiev a “very alarming” episode, which was planned in connection “with our internal events in order to inflict maximum damage and obtain the maximum media effect they need.”

What’s intriguing is how the plot line developed.

Normally we would have Bortnikov (FSB) or Patrushev (special adviser to Putin) picking up the phone and calling the CIA’s Burns to ask for a serious explanation.

In this case it was much more hardcore. Belousov himself called the head of the Pentagon, weapons peddler Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin, and told him in no uncertain terms to tighten the leash on the Kiev goons – or else.

Now imagine how the transcript of the blunt Russian message would read.

As Andrei Martyanov remarked, Belousov must have detailed how Kiev would simply cease to exist – and in due time, “so would D.C.” if the Americans decided to authorize the hit.

Ryabkov also referred to “some other countries” who would have been part of the package. Translation: Brits and Poles.

What this little story tells us is that Moscow finally seems to be getting the picture: there’s no way to deal rationally with terror entities, except to politely tell them in their faces that if certain conditions are fulfilled, they will be incinerated with no mercy.

Exhibit B

This concerns the cosmic dementia permeating the Zionist Project.

Apart from the inestimable Alastair Crooke, who called everyone’s attention to what’s really at stake, only a few people across the collective West have any idea of the “long black cloud” that may be coming down, to quote Dylan.

This goes way beyond the government in Tel Aviv “losing control of the Extreme Right”.

Cue to the key passages of an interview with Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon, former Chief of Staff of the IDF and also former Defense Minister.

Israeli savagery: Far-right ministers…

“When you talk about Smotrich and Ben Gvir: They have a Rabbi. His name is Dov Lior. He is the Rabbi of the Jewish Underground, who intended to blow up the Dome of the Rock – and before that the buses in Jerusalem. Why? In order to hurry up the ‘Last War’.”

Translation: the two most extreme members of the Netanyahu cabinet follow the same rabbi who wants to blow up Al-Aqsa mosque to rebuild the Jewish Temple, expel or kill all Palestinians, and prevail in a coming Armageddon.

Ya’alon then delivers the clincher: “This concept rests on Jewish supremacy: Mein Kampf in reverse”. In this case, “a war of Gog and Magog”. Ya’alon adds: “This is what goes into the decision-making process in the Israeli government”.

The lowdown: an escathological, ultra-rabid cult is dictating policy in Tel Aviv, the HQ of a genocidal, settler-colonial construct – complete with a massive vigilante militia, or interlocking militias, of hundreds of thousands of settlers, armed to their teeth, uncontrollable, and ready to do anything, even attacking the military and the Israeli state itself.

There’s absolutely no way to talk or to reason with this fanatic mob. They could only be dealt with in one precise way. And the fact is the Axis of Resistance is not there – yet.

Mein Kampf in reverse meets the Axis of Resistance

Exhibits A and B, taken together, make the case that the Empire’s Forever Wars are metastasizing into a seamless war of terror, from mini-genocides within the larger genocide in Gaza to serial targeted assassinations – from Beirut to Tehran to attacks on civilians from Belgorod to Kursk.

For all the expectations across the Global Majority of having the Axis of Resistance severely humiliate the Talmudic psychos, as it stands we are just witnessing the spectacle of Persians displaying their mastery of Sun Tzu.

Psy ops, strategic ambiguity, waiting game: Iran’s application of Sun Tzu is faultless – and is driving the Talmudic psychos and their Exceptionalist enablers absolutely nuts.

Meanwhile in the Ukrainian front, a new sense of urgency may finally become inevitable. Dmitry Medvedev, more unplugged than ever, has set the tone: from now on, it should be no holds barred:

“From now on, the SMO must assume an openly extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. We can and must go to the lands of the still existing Ukraine. To Odessa, to Kharkov, to Dnepropetrovsk, to Nikolaev. To Kiev and further. There should be no restrictions in the sense of some borders of the Ukrainian Reich recognized by someone.

And now we can and must talk about this openly, without embarrassment and diplomatic curtseys. The terrorist operation of the Banderites must remove any taboos from this topic. Let everyone, including the English bastards, realize this: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and beneficial for ourselves.”

So now we’re fast approaching the “show me the money” cliffhanger. Both the Axis of Resistance and Christian Orthodox Russia need to step up the game. Radically. Otherwise the intertwined wars of terror may become ominously unmanageable.

The Forever Wars go full War OF Terror

How NATO And Neo-Nazi Junta Lunatics Nearly Blew Up The World three Weeks Ago

Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst

On July 28, Russia was celebrating the Navy Day with a parade in St. Petersburg. Most of the top officials were present, including President Vladimir Putin and the new Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. 

Vladimir Putin Has Survived 6 Assassination Attempts: Here Are The Detailsndtv.com

The former has been presiding over Russia’s resurgence to superpower status, achieving unrivaled milestones in the last nearly 25 years. The latter is the architect of Moscow’s unprecedented economic resilience that resulted in the country zooming past both Germany and Japan, making it the fourth largest economy in the world now.

Impressed by Belousov’s results, Putin entrusted him with the Ministry of Defense (MoD), a reshuffling that has been followed by a massive increase in military spending, incomparable to anything seen since the (First) Cold War ended. Thus, it can be argued that Putin and Belousov are now the Eurasian giant’s two most important policymakers.

Expectedly, all this makes both of them prime targets for Russia’s enemies. It’s virtually a given they think that removing such people would be a deadly blow to the Kremlin and it seems that’s precisely what they tried to do.

Namely, according to Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, the Neo-Nazi junta and the United States were preparing an assassination attempt on Putin and Belousov precisely during the Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg. Russian intelligence services uncovered the plot and prevented it from going forward. Obviously, the Kremlin was furious, but unlike Washington DC, it’s run by sane people who don’t want to see the world blown up. Thus, Defense Minister Belousov himself talked to his US counterpart Lloyd Austin and politely explained it would dawn at 3:00 AM if anything like this were to happen again.

For obvious security reasons, Ryabkov couldn’t reveal the details, leaving many to speculate on how the assassination attempt could’ve played out. Some argue that sea or even underwater drones could’ve been used, most likely launched from a neutral merchant ship, while others think it was likely a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).

To make matters worse, the possible participation of NATO members Poland and Finland was also discussed, meaning that the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel was directly involved. As soon as Ryabkov revealed that the unprecedented assassination attempt was thwarted, the mainstream propaganda machine resorted to immediate damage control, spewing nonsense about the US allegedly “blocking” the plot, while others claim that Russia supposedly “pleaded” with America to “prevent” the assassination attempt.

However, Pepe Escobar, a colossus of geopolitical analytics, argues that’s not the case and that the Kremlin warned the Pentagon that if US services succeeded in their terrorist tactics, it would be the very last thing anyone from America would ever do, as the world’s most aggressive thalassocracy would simply cease to exist immediately after that.

In other words, the warmongering lunatics and war criminals in Washington DC would be willing to not only jeopardize the lives of 330 million Americans, but also over 8 billion other people on the entire planet. I’ve had the honor of participating in a meeting with Pepe Escobar and other experts and analysts from all over the world, where he confirmed that the assassination attempt took place and that Russia indeed warned the US that the consequence of such barbarism would be the total annihilation of every single culprit.

It’s virtually a given that the mainstream propaganda machine will try to denigrate and discredit such reputable sources, calling them “conspiracy theorists”.

It will also certainly engage in a cover-up, either by denying that the assassination attempt ever took place or at least trying to prevent the US from looking bad by disseminating blatant lies such as the one that it supposedly “tried to prevent the plot”. Either way, as per usual, the truth will have no part whatsoever in their activities.

Sources within the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense confirmed to NV that Belousov’s call to Austin did take place but did not elaborate on the content of their conversation.

However, empirical and historical evidence shows that the US-led political West not only has the propensity to assassinate rival leaders, but it also regularly (and openly) brags about it. Not to mention the simple fact that several high-ranking American officials unashamedly talked about decapitation strikes on Russia, despite the perfectly clear consequences of such actions.

Others, such as the infamous war criminal Lindsey Graham didn’t even bother using any sort of euphemisms, but called for the US services to, I quote, “take Putin out”. His warmonger “buddy” John Bolton said virtually the same thing and also called for a coup in Russia. Former US Army general and CIA director David Petraeus called for strikes on Moscow, while the Pentagon itself talked about a decapitation strike on the Kremlin. Immediately after such statements, Russia changed its long-range strike doctrine, including the preemptive one.

Moscow is also regularly upgrading its already impressive strategic arsenal, including with hypersonic weapons, while Washington DC can’t even make a basic ICBM anymore due to the very real issues with its Military Industrial Complex. And yet, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to America’s massive issues.

Namely, its already atrocious political situation is becoming even worse now, with the border crisis escalating and assassinations of political opponents becoming the “new normal” in the US. In the meantime, stealing Russian forex reserves has become the political West’s favorite pastime and a way to partially finance its favorite Neo-Nazi puppets, whose total defeat is the only way to end the suffering of the millions of regular Ukrainians.

In the meantime, the US and NATO are effectively planning yet another pandemic, a fact that the Russian military openly warned about. Worse yet, their policy of “controlled” escalation is getting out of hand, resulting in multiple actions that can only be described as a declaration of war on Russia. This includes everything from sabotage operations to both direct and indirect terrorist attacks (through Islamic radicals).

The US and NATO directly participate in the planning and execution of these black ops, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds (or even thousands) of Russian civilians. The political West is also trying to drag numerous other countries into this mess, including through coercion or even direct threats.

Putin warns NATO of Russia’s unstoppable hypersonic missiles

The only logical explanation is that NATO wants to trigger Moscow to react in the most violent way possible. The constant usage of legal gray areas to target Russian troops and civilians is extremely frustrating, although the Kremlin has managed to keep its cool for the most part.

 For now, at least, as Russian patience, although unrivaled, has its limits. This is precisely why Moscow keeps warning against further escalation, but to no avail. The political West is determined to cause the complete destruction of the entire world with its certifiably insane actions and policies.
