The United States signaled the imminent collapse of the FAU thanks to Russian satellites​


Former US Armed Forces intelligence officer Scott Ritter said Russia's high-precision satellites would soon give the FAU a nightmare. According to him, the Russian armed forces will monitor more closely what is happening in the airbases and ammunition depots of the Ukrainian army.

The ultra-precise satellites that Russia uses in space monitor the movements and actions of the FAU, Scott Ritter, a former US armed forces intelligence officer, said on the show.US Tour of Duty».

«These radar surveillance satellites are equipped with cameras whose precision is of the order of a meter. They don't mind cloud cover or rain. They have very high resolution radar that can see everything. It's impossible to hide anything from these satellites", did he declare.

Ritter is convinced that Russia's advanced equipment will change the course of the conflict in Ukraine. The Russian military will monitor more closely what is happening at the airbases and ammunition depots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, after which they will intensify missile strikes in order to defeat the Kiev regime definitively, Ritter summed up.

Impoverished, humiliated, but resilient: How Syrians are surviving the US economic siege​


Syrian-American journalist Hekmat Aboukhater traveled to Homs, Latakia, Tartous and Aleppo last April, reporting for The Grayzone on the devastating impact of Western economic sanctions on ordinary Syrians.

***​

by Hekmat Aboukhater

Throughout 2023, a series of anti-Syrian refugee bills, a failing economy and anti-Syrian rhetoric have worsened the situation for the two million Syrian refugees living in Lebanon. Hate crimes against Syrians suspected of living illegally in the country have skyrocketed, while at least 130 refugees have been deported.

Weekly Israeli strikes have kept airports in Aleppo and Damascus perpetually out of service, preventing much-needed aid from entering the country. Syrians living abroad and hoping to return home must therefore go through Lebanese customs as soon as they arrive in the Middle East.

Any Syrian wishing to travel to Syria for something as simple as a wedding or a funeral, as I did last April, is likely to face hostile interaction from Lebanese customs officials. . Officers generally demand to know why a Syrian enters Lebanon, and how and when he will leave. Once out of the airport, the Syrian national is forced to take a $150 taxi to return to Syria.

The dignity and privilege accorded to Italians landing at Fiumicino airport for the Easter holiday and Americans landing at Logan airport for Thanksgiving are not accorded to Syrians returning home for Eid al- Fitr. And once they get home, they have to make do in an economy that has been intentionally stifled by Western sanctions.

US Sanctions Wipe Out Average Syrians' Savings​

The value of the Syrian pound has deteriorated so much that one dollar is trading today for 8700 SYP. While the exchange rate was 1:40 before the war, the country's currency began its downward spiral after the United States Congress authorized the sanctions bill known as the "Caesar Act", which came into force in 2019. With the stroke of a presidential pen, the savings of millions of Syrians were decimated in the space of a few months.

Today, the average Syrian who pays for his daily goods and services has to carry absurdly inconvenient amounts of cash in the form of wads stuffed into satchels and satchels. If this Syrian wants to pay something more valuable – say, monthly rent – he needs black plastic bags full of Syrian liras and hundreds of rubber bands…

Nicaragua has authorized the deployment of Russian warships, army and air force in the country​


by Avia.pro

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has authorized the entry of Russian troops into the country for humanitarian purposes from July 1. This is reported by the Spanish agency EFE. The permit also applies to military personnel from the United States, Cuba, Venezuela and other countries and will be valid in the second half of 2023. A similar decision was made by the President of Nicaragua last year.

According to President Ortega's decree, Russian military personnel, warships and aircraft have the right to remain in Nicaragua to participate in humanitarian, search and rescue operations. In addition, Russian troops can provide assistance to Nicaraguan army units in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

In addition, the presidential decree provides for the deployment of military personnel, ships and aircraft of the armed forces of Mexico, Venezuela, the United States, Cuba and Central American countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic.

The Russian Ambassador to Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, Alexander Khokholikov, explained that the Nicaraguan government passes a law every year that authorizes the presence of foreign military personnel in the country.

Khokholikov stressed that the Russian military operates in Nicaragua openly and legally, and that ships and planes, if necessary, will continue to visit Nicaraguan ports and airfields.

The Russians found out about the Finns a long time ago.
Here is from the peace treaty that Finland signed, in which they agreed ”to make no alliance and to participate in no coalition” as well as to ”not possess, construct or experiment with any atomic weapon, any self-propelled or guided missiles or apparatus connected with their discharge”.

Because Finland decided to cancel this agreement they will have a new russian military district and new army with active attack principle right on their border.

Hey @delta9nxs @greyfader new profil soon or what?

what are you, the fucking hall monitor? is this the 6th grade, your senior year?

i have never, and will not ever, use two handles in order to deceive.

yes, i changed my handle for the first and probably only time because of security reasons.

the handle delta9nxs has been active from 1998 to Jan 2023. i found that most of my passwords were in the hands of advertisers and marketers and had been connected to both Delta9nxs and my real name.

had you done a little more research you would have found that from the day i registered (jan 2, 2023) as greyfader the handle delta9nxs has not been used.

you seem to be a little weak in the "research" department.

This is why I asked because Prigozhin does not own Wagner and neither does he direct them. As for the russian economy being in a depression it is yet another example of your delusion. April 2023 saw industrial production increase 5.1 percent to the previous year and the output of manufactured goods was the highest recorded.

Meanwhile we are still waiting for the great ukranian offensive.

lol

Wagner captures Russian commander as Prigozhin feud with army escalates​

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...p-release-video-of-captured-russian-commander

“Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose subordinates posted a video in which they mock a senior officer and an entire brigade commander … is allowed to do whatever he wants. He is considered as the highest caste!” Igor Strelkov, a retired Russian special operations officer and popular military blogger, wrote on his Telegram channel.

Latest reports heavily favor the Ukrainians. Looks like they have pushed across the border and hammered supply depots / routes. Much more is forecast for the near future.

is the liar telling the truth for once?
that's the thing about lying, becomes a real habit
also see the Russians are going with an old stand by
a deadly line of force at the rear to dissuade any retreat
in ww2 it was other Russians with guns, today they're going with mine fields
