A Ukrainian soldier with the 1st Airmobile Battalion, 79th Air Assault Brigade calls out to a fellow soldier, letting the other soldier know he is set and ready to cover his movement during pairs movement training at the Yavoriv Combat Training Center on the International Peacekeeping and Security Center, near Yavoriv, Ukraine, May 15, 2017. “170515-A-RH707-394†by U.S. Department of Defense Current Photos is marked with Public Domain Mark 1.0.
It is some years now since a lot of people began imagining the specter of World War III in the near or middle distance. This kind of thinking has been especially common since the U.S., with determination and purpose, provoked Russia to intervene in Ukraine three years ago this coming February. A few weeks later...

From Renaissance Florence, one of the – few – peaks of humanity, now living in memory, tread carefully across this flame-filled 2025. FLORENCE – It’s a dazzling Tuscan winter morning, and I am inside the legendary Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella, founded in the early 13th century and finally consecrated in 1420, in a...

When the end of another year rolls around it is not a bad idea to think about how we might improve ourselves and perhaps even improve the lives of others given the clean slate of a New Year. Many people resolve to exercise more, eat better, spend more time with their families. These are all... Read More

Is Biden poised to ban 2025 by executive order?
Something good happened in Washington last week, suggesting that the year might actually end on a high note without Joe Biden starting World War 3 and opening up all the country’s prisons for the on-the-street rehabilitation of the inmates where they will undoubtedly learn new skills. The good thing was the signing by Biden of... Read More
Is Putin’s Government Trying to Be a 19th century liberal government in the brutal evil world of the 21st century? I raise this question not only because Putin has been fighting in his gentlemanly way a war on Russian territory in Ukraine for six months longer without yet winning than it took Stalin’s Red Army...

Last week a top Russian general named Igor Kirillov was assassinated outside his Moscow home. Lt. Gen. Kirillov had served since 2017 as head of Russia's Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Defense Troops, obviously a position of great importance, and together with an aide, he was killed by an explosive device, with the Ukrainian government immediately...

No one is afraid of Russia, not even tiny Moldova. Transnistia is a disputed territory that seceded from Moldova. Washington, having engineered an end to the Russia-Ukraine natural gas transit agreement means energy supply problems for Moldova, the president of which has “demanded that preparations be made for a violent seizure of the power stationâ€...

I tweet about migrating to Russia at @cbausman and Telegram. DMs are open Blog housekeeping: It has happened every of the 4 Falls that we have been here. Energy levels in Russia seem to fluctuate more than in the West. Russians, like the French, take their vacations very seriously, and seem to do absolutely nothing... Read More
Vladimir Putin did his annual end-of-the-year marathon press conference this week. Every year, he goes for many hours and allows anyone, including American pigs and callers from wherever, to ask him any question. You’ve never seen a US president do this. There were a lot of interesting bits, but I liked his think about porn.... Read More
As Laura Logan says, American journalism is a bloodsport that massacres truth-tellers. I have been labeled almost every name in the book–conspiracy theorist, Putin agent/dupe, Reagan fascist, anti-semite, holocaust denier, left-wing nutcase, right-wing nutcase, domestic terrorist, racist. Unable to refute my analysis, they call me names. Nevertheless, I find it satisfying when people of statute... Read More
“Ukrainian†is a creole language. Specifically, it is Russia mixed with Polish. Its use was very limited before the US went into the Ukraine in 2014. Notably, Vladimir Zelensky could not speak it before he ran for president. Forcing people to speak this goofy bastard poor people gibberish would be like if in the Civil... Read More
Russian General Igor Kirillov The US government is really very much against assassinating Obamacare CEOs. They think that is so very bad. Ben and Josh Shapiro think it is very bad. But these people are willing to assassinate Russian generals, violating all basic norms, and just assuming that Russia won’t strike back. Is it just... Read More
Alex Jones is really looking like some kind of apocalypse general. I’m thinking of like, someone who leads a faction in one of the Fallout games, you know? RT: [image][F]https://dailystormer.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/medvedev-3
Previously: Chuck Schumer Calls on Homeland Security to Use Better Tech to Identify Drones John Kirby Now Says New Jersey Drones are Stars It’s still not clear what the purpose of the drone hoax is, actually. Chuck Schumer has to go out and say he’s against it, but as we’ve said repeatedly, there is simply... Read More
My doubts about Putin’s ability to think strategically go back to 2008. I have always been a defender of Putin in that the aggression is from Washington to Russia, not vice versa, and that Washington, not Putin, is responsible for the conflict in Ukraine. Nevertheless, I had early doubts about Putin’s strategic vision. He spoke... Read More

Tehran and Moscow harbor no illusions – and are preparing accordingly. The war on BRICS is just getting started. Syria as we knew it is being eviscerated in real time – in geographic, cultural, economic and military terms – by an appalling confluence of mercenary Rent-a-Jihadi mobs and psychopathological genocidals praying at the altar of...

Quoting Mark Twain, President Vladimir Putin has made his first public statement on Syria during his Direct Line broadcast on Thursday. “Whoever wants to imagine Russia weakened…I want to recall the famous man and writer [Mark Twain], who once said: ‘The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.’†During four and a half hours of...

World War I was won by the powers that worked to bring it about, while refusing an early peace with Germany and Austria-Hungary. World War II was also won by the instigators, namely the US, England and the USSR. Now that World War III is gathering steam as we speak, we can state with confidence... Read More
There is a lot Putin can still do to the Ukraine without needing to go into threats against Europe. Hopefully, he starts doing these things against the Ukraine soon, so he can start threatening Europe. RT: The West’s support for Ukraine is pushing Russia to the point where it cannot help but retaliate, President Vladimir... Read More
In the English-language media markets it is impossible for any journalist, editor, publisher or owner to be more corrupt, more of a liar, more of a fraud, and more of a success at selling all three than Rupert Murdoch. That was until the mass media at which Murdoch excelled were superseded and outread by the... Read More
In his meeting the other day with the Russian Defense Ministry Board, Putin discussed the accomplishments of the past year and measures needed to ensure Russia’s security from Washington’s aspirations for world dominance. “We see the US administration and the collective West relentlessly trying to preserve their dominance, pushing their rules on the global community...

It is fitting to replace the sickening female president with someone ultra-masculine. He is in opposition to the gay agenda of the United States. Basically, everything in geopolitics can be divided into “pro-gay†and “anti-gay.†The Guardian: Mikheil Kavelashvili Wow, pretty good numbers. nb4 “the only one nominated†– anyone could have protested by not...

Israelis generally are celebrating their ‘victories’. Will this euphoria weigh with U.S. business élites? Syria has entered the abyss – the demons of al-Qa’eda, ISIS, and the most intransigent elements of the Muslim Brotherhood are circling the skies. There is chaos, looting, fear, and a terrible passion for revenge scalds the blood. Street executions are... Read More
Many wonder why Putin abandoned Syria after fighting 9 years in Syria’s defense. Putin’s abandonment of Syria might have been influenced by China’s conditional support for Russia in Ukraine. China’s conditions include “no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting.†These conditions might also explain why Europe and the US have been spared strikes... Read More
The media brothel has presented the HTS terrorist/democratic opposition as Syria’s rescuer promising peace and friendship. But videos emerging reveal a campaign of violence, hangings and machine-gunning of people. It is Muslims killing Muslims, Arabs killing Arabs. The reason Arabs are powerless is that they had rather kill each other than fight against their common... Read More
President Vladimir Putin gave a party rally speech in Moscow on Saturday in which he omitted to mention seven of the eight domestic issues most troubling Russian voters – inflation; high interest-rate caused stagnation in the economy; corruption; low quality education; poor public health care; terrorism; and illegal immigrants. He made an exception for the... Read More
Rumble link Bitchute link . Note: Kevin has been canceled by Stripe—workarounds are Spotfund and Paypal. Market analyst and investor Alex Krainer wonders whether by suddenly giving up Syria without a fight, Iran and Russia may have set a trap for the Zio-American Empire: “This surprised nobody. The (claim) that they came by surprise is... Read More
Related: Zelensky Proposes Deploying NATO Troops to His Shithole There is probably going to have to be some kind of peacekeepers in the Ukraine following the end of the conflict, because Ukrainians themselves are going to be trying to kill Zelensky and everyone else in the government and the whole situation is going to descend...

Technically, anything could happen at any time. Aliens could invade. The Iranians could deploy the mothership. It’s all possible, so saying something is possible is not really an argument for or against any particular action. Furthermore: why are heterosexuals never in charge of any of these military or intelligence groups? Are we to believe you... Read More
This is a leftist cartoon, but it’s accurate. I think Russia was right to give Assad asylum. But I also agree he should be sent to work in construction in the Donbass. RT: Exiled former Syrian leader, Bashar Assad, should contribute to the rebuilding of Russian cities damaged during the conflict with Ukraine, Russian politician... Read More
Ahmad Al Khaled sends this information about himself: After a four-year freeze in the conflict established as a result of negotiations between Turkey and Russia, the situation in Syria has changed dramatically. Within ten days of a rapid offensive, the fighters of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group established control over most of the country, forcing... Read More
Where there is no vision the people are lost
The latest report is that Israel has carried out 480 air strikes on territory of the former Syria and Israeli troops are moving deeper into the country. Netanyahu claims credit for Syria’s overthrow which he said is “a historic day in the history of the Middle East.†It certainly opens up the Middle East to... Read More

In the famous lines of Tacitus, Roman historian, “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.†In our age, it is Israel and the U.S. that make a desert and call it peace. The story is simple. In stark violation of... Read More
The illustration of power coming out of the barrel of a gun is from a comic book. Contemplating the reality of Russia’s position in Syria, no one in a position to know believes in cartoon captions, the credibility of the gun, or the direction in which the horse is now running. Military sources in Moscow... Read More
Things have gotten really extreme now. This never happened during the USSR times, that I’m aware of. The US is just kidnapping Russian citizens randomly in countries all over the world as part of its interesting war stratagem. RT: Russian nationals should avoid making non-essential trips to the US and allied countries, the Russian Foreign... Read More
Is this Pakistani individual a “trans� Whatever it is, it hardly even looks human. How embarrassing for the Americans, having this as one of their overlords.

Donald Trump is back, and so is the “maximum pressure†campaign against Iran to “drastically throttle†Tehran’s oil sales. But 2025 is not 2018. Although Iran was on the ropes then, things are different now. America’s support for Israel’s campaigns against the Palestinian and Lebanese people has eroded local support for U.S. moves, as many...

Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are complaining about Israel’s occupation of parts of what was formerly Syria. Turkey is hypocritical as Turkey has occupied parts of northern Syria for eight years. The US occupies the oil area of what was Syria. The US and UK describe Israel’s occupation as self-defense and temporary. The media,... Read More

The defeat of the Russian army in war discredits, not the soldiers who fought and died, but the commander-in-chief and the generals who were in command. Defeat on the battlefield also destroys Russian military honour as a political force in the country, just as its opposite, victory on the battlefield, threatens the civilian commander-in-chief with...

Will the collective West rise to defend the remaining Syrian Christians when the Black Flags come to purge them? The standard modus operandi of the Hegemon is always Divide and Rule. Cornered by the inexorable rise of the multi-nodal (italics mine) reality, they saw an opening for an imperial reboot, betting everything on establishing the... Read More

When westerners see ‘enemy’ governments fall, or civil wars erupt, they are led to think they are the geopolitical equivalent of a natural event. Nothing could be further from the truth The long-harboured aspirations of the US, Turkey and Israel to topple the Syrian government, mainly through their rebranded al-Qaeda allies, succeeded at lightning speed....

Previously: Russia and Iran Couldn’t Have Saved Syria After the fall of Syria, popular game show host Donald Trump claimed on the internet that this had happened because Vladimir Putin stopped supporting Syria. It’s one of the worst internet posts I’ve ever seen. If one wanted to respond to all of that, it would be... Read More
From energy resources to economic growth, the region holds key assets for US foreign policy, trade, and security interests When President-elect Donald Trump starts his second term January 20, he will face a full foreign policy agenda, with wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, Taiwan tensions, and looming trade disputes with China, Mexico, and...

Vucic deos not look like the kind of person you would trust. But it seems that his own interests line up with keeping cool.

RT: Western-funded protesters are attempting... Read More
Angela Merkel might have been a horrible terrorist, but she was surely a very handsome woman. They say even while she was flooding the country with “refugees,†people couldn’t stop supporting her because they were so mesmerized by her good looks. The US demanded Germany end their trade relationship with Russia, and then to make... Read More
The Zelensky government is basically an extermination machine. They round up innocent people and send them to die. Every Ukrainian dies on the frontlines of the Ukraine war. Being conscripted is a death sentence. Maybe instead of fleeing the country, these people should take a stand against the Jewish occupation government and its wars? RT:... Read More
Syria no longer exists. The Russian news service RT reports that Israel has launched the largest attack on Syria in history with Israeli warplanes hitting more than 250 military targets. Other reports put the number at 300. The Israeli Defense Force reports it has destroyed 80% of Syrian military capability. This is after Syria’s fall.... Read More

The NATO-Israeli cabal cheering on Damascus's fall will get more than they bargained for. Power struggles and infighting among extremist militias and civil society, each backed by different regional and foreign actors who want a piece of the pie. The short headline defining the abrupt, swift end of Syria as we knew it would be:... Read More
John Helmer’s December 8 report from Moscow substantiates my conclusion that the Russian government’s inability to acknowledge reality, instead relying on agreements with Russia’s enemies, results in failure . In Ukraine by trying to minimize conflict, the Kremlin maximized conflict. In Syria relying on diplomatic rather than military means resulted in a massive strategic defeat... Read More
As with any big event, there is a lot of nonsense swirling in the narrative around the fall of Syria. Some people are going around claiming that this is a failure of Russia and Iran, that these allies should have swooped in and saved Assad. People are so gay and retarded. Russia was already bombing... Read More
