“THE LOSS of the last elite reserve units, which the military leadership of Ukraine has inserted into the fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front, will lead to its collapse, said former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter.
“Now we are witnessing – emphasized Ritter – the last phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which has not achieved any goal. It alone led to the death of more than 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers. There are only 15 thousand of them left.
‘I’m talking about elite reserve units armed with British Challenger tanks, Marder and Stryker combat vehicles.”
Ritter pointed out that Kiev’s fresh forces “also got stuck in minefields in front of Russian defense lines.” According to him, as soon as the last elite units of Kiev are destroyed, the Ukrainian front will begin to collapse, like an old dam unable to hold back a powerful river flow.”

You can already see the NWO/ZOG-ruled powers reconsidering— various EU states are modifying the military and other aid going to the Kiev regime, and the US Government has been increasingly making public, in a guarded way, its concern that the Ukraine war might become a general European conflict and even an intercontinental nuclear one.
Can you imagine? Lammy might become a Cabinet minister if/when Labour forms a government…
Lammy, a thick “diversity hire”, who (like Diane Abbott) basically hates white (eg British) people, history, and culture (but has a wife who is not black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green).
The bigger scandal is that any bank executive gets that kind of pay. The same applies to lawyers, business executives, entertainers, TV talking heads etc.

This matter has taken three years to get to trial.
“Labour plans for tougher hate crime laws if they enter power could lead to criminal charges for misgendering trans people, a think tank warns today.
‘Maintaining free speech… is essential if we are to defend a liberal society based on rationality rather than coercion.’
[the] study was backed by Labour backbencher Graham Stringer, who likened gender ideology to the claim made by Humpty Dumpty in Alice In Wonderland that words mean whatever he chooses them to mean.
He said: ‘There are many in the transgender debate who follow in the Humpty Dumpty tradition.
‘Men become women and women become men via a simple declaration. If words can have any meaning debate becomes meaningless.
‘You end up with authoritarianism, which is what transgender ideologues desire, with them in authority.’“

If true, not entirely unexpected. Aircraft (and tall buildings) can be hazardous for those eyeing Putin’s purple, or that of any ruler of “all the Russias”. General Lebed would have made an excellent ruler of Russia, had his helicopter not crashed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebed. Others have gone the same way under Putin, Yeltsin and, of course, Stalin, among others carrying the status of Vozhd.

The text in the Spanish tweet posted by “captain Bitcoin” translates as: “Pedro Sanchez (the current Spanish President) distributing tax money among the Spaniards to be elected President”. Mind you, could be anywhere…

Regarding the above tweet, it could also be a video from David Lammy’s last birthday (LOL)

Prigozhin was a fool that talked too much; for me it was a matter of time for him to have an “accident”. I am sure he made a lot of enemies. This case reminds me Agatha Christie’s novels where almost all the characters involved had a reason to murder the victim. (LOL)

Have you heard or read something about the supposed coming “crash” of the Chinese economy? I saw today an article about it in an international edition of a Spanish newspaper talking about how lots of companies are leaving China to relocate in Japan.
I will try to get more information about it. You never know, perhaps Chinea, like the USSR is also a “giant with feet of clay”

I have seen commentary about it on Twitter/”X” and in the msm. I cannot really comment in detail on the blog because I do not know enough about the specifics.
Having said that, obviously since the 1980s, China has developed from being a massive and poor exporter of cheap basic items (I saw hammers and the like on sale in London street markets in the early 1980s) to a sophisticated economy and nation. China has spread prosperity among quite a few of its people (beyond the ultra-wealthy), and can now launch space rockets, as well as creating a huge navy, among other things. Its engineering accomplishments have been on a vast scale.
That economy is largely dependent on exports and huge amounts of corporate debt. The Chinese government has, for years, been trying to swivel the economy more to domestic consumption, but that has only been partially successful. Chinese people are mostly savers, not spenders.
Meanwhile, the markets overseas on which China is dependent, mainly North America and Europe, have been crippled by both the “Covid” nonsense (and the consequent inflation) and by the economic fallout from sanctions on Russia. China is therefore hedging its bets by building up trade relations with Russia and other countries.
Russia is large enough, and has a population small enough (143,000,000) to be an autarky, if necessary. China, huge but with an equally huge population (1,400,000,000, ten times that of Russia) does not have that luxury. The poverty and powerlessness of China in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, especially during and after the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, makes that point.
In other words, China is (inter)dependent on the West at present; Russia is not.

Good analysis of yours. I found an interesting video that gives us a glimpse of the Chinese crisis. In my opinion this is just a consequence of purely speculative capitalism out of control. Typical of these degenerate societies driven by (((greed))) where there is no organic, sensible growth based on honest work. Besides there is no logic whatsoever behind the construction of these horrible cities in the middle of nowhere. This is judeo-bolshevism as the Führer used to say.
