BREAKING: Israeli army arrests the entire Al Jazeera crew and destroys the broadcasting vehicles in the yard of the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, according to local sources.

Secondo un rapporto del Ministero della Difesa russo le forze armate russe hanno eliminato 5 .962 mercenari stranieri sui 13.287 arrivati in Ucraina.

Tra i mercenari si contano 90 italiani e 33 di essi avrebbero trovato la morte in Ucraina. Ma questa notizia non viene commentata né da parte del ministero degli Esteri, né degli Interni, né della Difesa. https://contropiano.org/news/politica-news/2024/03/18/in-ucraina-uccisi-33-mercenari-italiani-silenzio-da-parte-del-governo-0170484

Avete presente i "Disturbatori" visti davanti al consolato russo di Milano che provocavano le signore in fila per votare? Quel tizio che "VOLEVA" entrare per vedere gli scrutinatori e sapere i risultati perché non si fidava dei comunicati ufficiali?- video: https://youtu.be/Hxani0_-9hw?si=bL9yERYsVzKhbu2n Il caso ha voluto che quel provocatore con il cappotto color cammello sia stato eletto nel 2017 Presidente dell'Associazione Milanese Amici Di Israele.

Maria Zakharova, Russian MFA's spokeperson:

The German Foreign Ministry stated that it would not indicate Putin’s position in official documents and would limit it to his last name. A representative of the German Foreign Ministry said that he “does not remember” that the ministry had recently put any designations before the name.

Remember, as Rudyard Kipling said: “Bagheera called fire the Red Flower because not a single animal in the jungle would call fire by its true name. All animals are mortally afraid of fire and come up with hundreds of names just to avoid calling it directly.”

All the leaders of sovereign, independent countries congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election as president. The leaders of vassal, captured states didn't.
Isn't it an easy way to separate the wheat from the chaff? 😏 @LauraRuHK

Russia and Iran followed at 26 per cent and 9 per cent, respectively. While the figure for Russia dwindled from 32 per cent in 2023, that of Iran jumped from 2 per cent a year earlier. ▪️While most Americans have not visited China, they have been heavily propagandized, that is exposed to negative coverage of China on a daily basis and psyops aimed, among other things, at changing their perception of China.

Evidence of such an influence is reflected in opinion polls that tracked changes in Americans’ perception of China during the past five decades. Polls show that Americans’ views of China were relatively stable and positive for almost three decades, but then dropped precipitously from 53% of Americans who held favorable views of China in 2018 to only 20% who held such views in 2022. This significant drop was likely due to fake news about Hong Kong riots (2019-20) and the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. @LauraRuHK

Ukraine’s losses in its confrontation with the Russian Armed Forces should be counted in the millions, rather than in hundreds of thousands, a high-ranking Polish general said.

Former Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Rajmund Andrzejczak said in an interview with the Polsat TV channel: "I believe that [Ukraine’s actual] losses should be counted in the millions, not the hundreds of thousands." "There are no resources in this country, no one left to fight," the general added.

"The Ukrainians are losing this war," he said, describing the situation as "very, very dramatic."

Commenting on the strategic situation on the battlefield under new Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky, who recently replaced the former commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, Andrzejczak said that the top brass reshuffle had not changed anything. "General Syrsky is facing the same dilemmas as General Zaluzhny. It turns out that he had to withdraw the troops and tidy up the frontline. All the problems that Zaluzhny had still remain," he maintained.

When asked to comment on reports saying that Ukrainian forces may run out of air defense missiles by the end of March, the general opined that this means "further effective strikes [on Ukraine], more victims, and more elements of the [Ukrainian] state’s infrastructure destroyed."

US-funded NGOs and lobbyists are going ballistic and calling for....sanctions, of course! ▪️The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has just passed the safeguarding national security bill, a milestone by the HKSAR in fulfilling its constitutional duty as stipulated under Article 23 of the HKSAR Basic Law. ▪️Hong Kong has finally plugged all the legal loopholes that allowed foreign forces and fifth columnists to sow chaos and eventually turn the city into a battleground in 2019-20. They exploited legitimate grievances to deepen rifts in society, spread hatred and lies in order to achieve the sort of hysterical polarization they hoped would make Hong Kong ungovernable. @LauraRuHK

"It’s no longer so much about recruiting new soldiers as it is about persuading existing troops not to quit.

This week, French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu presented a talent retention plan to incentivize military personnel to remain in uniform.

That comes a few days after an annual report submitted to the German parliament showed that in 2023, some 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr, reducing it to 181,514 personnel. The Bundestag’s special commissioner for the armed forces, Eva Högl, has said that reinstating some form of conscription is one way to turn things around, but targeting women is a more obvious move to arrest the decline since potential there is far from exhausted, the lawmaker wrote." ▪️I guess the prospect of dying for Uncle Sam and his European lapdogs isn't very appealing. Regardless of your gender. @LauraRuHK

Mauricio Metri: " The energy that feeds the United States machine of violence in different parts of the world (such as the militarization in the South China Sea, the hot war in Ukraine, or even the genocide in Gaza) comes from a leading source of supply: the disproportionate financing and spending capacity of the United States, derived from the position of its currency in the global monetary hierarchy and the way the international economic system has been in operation since the end of the Cold War. In this way, the world, by continuing to absorb, without apparent limit, American public debt bonds, finances the violence perpetrated by Washington, however contradictory that may seem.

Therefore, the de-dollarization of the international system has become a “silver bullet” to dismantle an essential part of this war machine without military confrontation. For this reason, de-dollarization is urgent not only as a first-order geopolitical objective for the so-called Global South but also as an ethical and humanitarian imperative against the barbaric invasions of the West." https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/03/20/silver-bullet-against-barbarian-invasions-of-west-de-dollarization-of-international-system/

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin requested that Bakytzhan Sagintayev, the Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Board, explore options for collaborative efforts between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries and the BRICS association.

"Russia is chairing BRICS this year," noted President Putin during his meeting with Sagintayev. "Our other countries (EAEU) are not members of the association, but there are significant opportunities, especially considering the plans of our Chinese friends – 'One Belt, One Road.' We have always said that these projects are compatible – our Eurasian development and Chinese ideas. The BRICS leaders are coming to Kazan. I earnestly request that you work with your Russian colleagues on how we could involve the economies of our association's other countries in joint efforts with the BRICS countries. There could be many joint projects and areas for development in general."

The Zionist lobby goes after anyone who dares to break ranks. Like the Mafia. ▪️Yesterday Irish PM Leo Varadkar resigned. He announced his resignation after visiting Washington on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) and meeting Biden. ▪️Interestingly, there is no mention of the war in Gaza in the statement released by the White House despite the fact that it was certainly a point of contention in their meeting. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/17/readout-of-president-joe-bidens-meeting-with-taoiseach-leo-varadkar-of-ireland/ This glaring omission would suggest that Varadkar was blackmailed in Washington and stepped down to avoid consequences. ▪️As a globalist tool, he will probably land on his feet, maybe in some international organization where he won't be in a position to step on the wrong toes. @LauraRuHK

Here is how this corrupt scheme works. Wealth transfer from European citizens to weapon manufacturers because we all know that Ukraine will never be able to pay for the weapons it receives. ▪️France lists the ways in which the EU needs to step up funding, including through the issuing of joint debt ― an echo of the controversial tool it used to finance its post-Covid recovery programs and which several of the bloc's leading figures said would be a one-off. Last year i wrote about joint vaccine procurement as a model for arms procurement. @LauraRuHK https://medium.com/p/808fa925820e
