Military source:

At approximately 1.45am., the Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of Athriya, southeast of Aleppo, targeting a number of points in the Aleppo countryside, in conjunction with a drone attack carried out by terrorist organizations from Idlib and the western Aleppo countryside in an attempt to target civilians in the city of Aleppo and its environs. The aggression resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of civilians and soldiers, and material losses to public and private property.

Reports of up to 33 martyrs.

The aggression against Aleppo tonight was coordinated with the Syrian "revolution" in Idlib, Israel's military arm on Syrian territory. The enemy attacked positions from the east of Aleppo, and at the same time terrorist organizations in the Idlib countryside attempted to attack marches from the west of Aleppo.

Enrico Borghi di Italia Viva e' membro della lobby anti-cinese IPAC e del Copasir, dove invece che vigilare sull'operato dei servizi segreti italiani pensa che il suo compito sia quello di aizzarli come fossero cani da combattimento. Borghi da tempo e' stato ingaggiato per la caccia alle streghe di maccartiana memoria. Recentemente ha proposto un terzo servizio sotto il Dis, oltre ad Aise e Aisi, che si occupi di "disinformazione, sicurezza cognitiva e identificazione degli agenti dell’inquinamento comunicativo". A questo proposito ha appena presentato un disegno di legge che spero faccia la fine dei suoi capelli. @LauraRuHK

William Burns, now CIA Director, was US Ambassador to Russia. Back then, in 2008, he sent a memo entitled “Nyet means Nyet” to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in which he explained that NATO expansion to Ukraine would cross Moscow’s security red lines and “could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene.” The memo was eventually published by Wikileaks.

Western liberalism generated its own 'value system' but it’s abundantly clear that it is a bad fit not only for other cultures but for the West as well — culture wars are ripping society apart in the US and European countries.
Western elites have long embarked on a mission to erase and rewrite history in order to whitewash their crimes, paint themselves as morally superior and their opponents as barbaric, destroy personal and national identities to replace them with fictional ones that better serve their interests.

Sovereign countries, on the other hand, are fighting back and rightly placing history and culture at the centre of their national rejuvenation programme.

China and Russia are civilization-states, poly-ethnic, multi-confessional civilizations unified by a common language, cultural code and national memory. They are building their future by preserving the past through a dialectical interplay of past and present. Dynamic and living civilizations don’t sever their roots, they instill a respect for the past and the achievements of previous generations.

China is the only country in the world where literature has been written in one language for more than 3,000 years, while the Cyrillic alphabet created a common cultural space first in Slavic Orthodox countries, then in the Russian empire and finally in the USSR. I would even suggest that the use of a distinctive script gave China and Russia the necessary impetus to develop their own, full-fledged, digital ecosystems, and they are among the few countries in the world to have done so. Actually Cyrillic has now a larger footprint online than it has offline.

In Liu Cixin’s sci-fi novel “The Three-Body Problem,” the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) plays a central role. I am sure you can think of less fictional organizations that share ETO's anti-humanism.😉

The most surprising aspect of the Earth-Trisolaris Movement was that so many people had abandoned all hope in human civilization, hated and were willing to betray their own species, and even cherished as their highest ideal the elimination of the entire human race, including themselves and their children.

The ETO was called an organization of spiritual nobles. Most members came from the highly educated classes, and many were elites of the political and financial spheres. The ETO had once tried to develop membership among the common people, but these efforts all failed. The ETO concluded that the common people did not seem to have the comprehensive and deep understanding of the highly educated about the dark side of humanity. More importantly, because their thoughts were not as deeply influenced by modern science and philosophy, they still felt an overwhelming, instinctual identification with their own species. To betray the human race as a whole was unimaginable for them. But intellectual elites were different: Most of them had already begun to consider issues from a perspective outside the human race. Human civilization had finally given birth to a strong force of alienation.

As astounding as the speed of the ETO’s growth had been, the number of members did not tell the whole story of the ETO’s strength. Because most of its members had high social status, they held a lot of power and influence.

As commander in chief of the ETO rebels, Ye was only their spiritual leader. She did not participate in the details of the organization’s operation, didn’t know how the ETO grew so large, and wasn’t even aware of the exact number of members.

In order to grow fast, the organization operated semi-openly, but the governments of the world never paid much attention to the ETO. The ETO knew that they would be protected by the governments’ conservatism and lack of imagination. In those organs wielding the powers of the state, no one took the ETO’s proclamations seriously, thinking that they were like other extremists who spewed nonsense. And because of its members’ social status, governments always treated it carefully. By the time it was recognized as a threat, the rebels were already everywhere. It was only when the ETO began to develop an armed force that some national security organs began to notice it and realized how unusual it was. Consequently, it was only within the last two years that they had begun to attack the ETO effectively.

For the first time, Zelensky declared his readiness for negotiations even without Ukraine returning to the borders of 1991: now he is talking about the 2022 borders. 😂 Well, he is still looking at an outdated map. With some Russian help he may catch up with reality.
▪️In an interview with CBS News, Zelensky said that Russia would be "ready for dialogue" if Ukraine reached the 2022 borders. "We will not need to de-occupy all our territories exclusively by military means. I am sure that when he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) loses what he has captured, starting in 2022, he will... He will be ready for dialogue," Zelensky said. @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20240330/ukraina-1936764989.html

The Biden administration has quietly approved the transfer of bombs and fighter jets worth billions of $ to Israel in recent days, despite Washington's alleged "concerns" about an anticipated military attack in #Rafah that would threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinian civilians.

The new weapons packages include over 1800 MK84 2000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to officials familiar with the matter from the Pentagon and the State Department.

The 2000-pound bombs have been linked to previous incidents that resulted in significant casualties during the Zionist Israeli genocide in #Gaza.

These officials spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity because the recent transfers have not been publicly disclosed.

This development implies that despite the emergence of staged "disagreements" between the United States and Israel over the conduct of war, the Biden administration considers arms transfers to the genocidal entity as a separate matter from that of the alleged "disapproval" of the actions of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

Manila escalates South China Sea row -

Leaders of the US, Philippines and Japan will meet for their first trilateral summit at the White House in April, according to a US official statement. Analysts believe that Washington is getting involved in the Asia-Pacific with increasing strength and resources.
"Manila fantasizes about using the 'international support' they have received to emotionally blackmail China and force concessions from it.

Whether it is for their own purposes or external instigation, the mixture of nationalistic sentiments and manipulated emotions has put the Philippines in a very dangerous position.

As is well known, the South China Sea issue is a highly inflammable matter of nationalist sentiment within the Philippines. Continuously hyping up the South China Sea issue may yield short-term gains in domestic support or serve the interests of those favoring a pro-American and anti-China stance, but it easily leads to self-inflicted harm. Allowing negative sentiments toward China to ferment domestically in the Philippines severely limits the options and actions of Philippine decision-makers regarding the South China Sea issue, resulting in a situation in which they can only resort to constant displays of strength and provocation, making it difficult to make rational adjustments. This obviously does not serve the national interests of the Philippines.
China is the largest trading partner of the Philippines, and long-term stability in the South China Sea region is most in line with the common interests of both countries. China-Philippines relations are at a critical juncture that urgently requires rationality and sobriety. The Philippines must act with caution on which path to take." https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1309802.shtml

Money transfers prove that Crocus 'terrorists for hire' followed orders from Ukraine

It is of huge importance that data in technical devices seized from the suspects in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack confirms their connection with Ukraine, Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, told Sputnik.

The report by the Russian Investigative Committee points to the Ukrainian special services, and “we must understand that they are directly connected with the CIA, MI6, and MI5,” Kabanov said.

“That is why the West is trying to cover this up, blaming an outlawed international terrorist organization for everything. In order to save face, and to hide the fact that Ukraine itself is a huge terrorist organization,” Kabanov, also a member of the Human Rights Council, said.

Kabanov noted that the financial transactions linked with Kiev are evidence that “these monsters didn’t just receive support, but were paid for executing the orders coming from Ukraine.”

For people in Western countries whose leaders remain committed to supporting the regime holed up in Kiev, this should be long-overdue reality check as to what is really happening in Ukraine, the analyst believes.

As for tracking where the funds came from and where they were sent, Russia has “efficient mechanisms,” which, in principle, “can track any payments, even in cryptocurrency,” Kabanov added.

Buona Pasqua! Happy Easter to all those who are celebrating today!

The atmosphere at the Crocus City Hall, where the orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev performed excerpts from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet in memory of those killed in the terrorist attack. Some of those injured or directly affected by the terrorist attack came on stage, thanked the rescuers and doctors for their help. At the end of the event, another minute of silence was announced and a bright ray of light was beamed into the sky. https://t.me/rian_ru/238905

Bilateral trade between the two nations continues to soar, reaching a 26.3 percent increase in 2023 and totaling $240.1 billion, with the surge primarily fueled by energy trade.
A staggering 92% of Russia-China trade settlements are in Russian rubles and Chinese yuan, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk revealed on Wednesday at the 2024 Boao Forum for Asia in China’s southern province of Hainan. Overchuk highlighted the enduring and harmonious relationship between Russia and China, built on mutual respect, equality, and extensive historical exchanges. He reaffirmed Russia's commitment to fostering trade growth and launching new projects between Moscow and Beijing.
Addressing a session on 'The Rise of the Global South,' Russia's deputy PM highlighted the emergence of southern nations as key players. He emphasized the need for developing nations to unite amidst growing global uncertainties, and advocated for strengthened cooperation in tackling common challenges. (Source: Sputnik) @LauraRuHK

Turkiye's local elections. Early results. The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) is ahead of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in municipal elections for the first time in 20 years after 50% of the ballots have been processed.
The CHP currently has 37.8% of the votes and is slightly ahead of the AKP, which has 36.8%. Pro-Kurdish Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM) brings up the rear of the top three with just under 6% of the vote, while the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), which is allied with the AKP, has less than 4%.▪️It seems that Erdogan's ambiguity has cost him dearly. Unfortunately the liberal, pro-Western opposition is an even worse prospect for the country. @LauraRuHK

L'ignoranza al potere. Il Ministro degli Esteri italiano Tajani, pensa che la Russia confini con l’Afghanistan. Il 23 marzo, a margine di una conferenza stampa a Milano, il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani commentando il gravissimo attentato avvenuto in Russia la sera prima aveva affermato «Non credo che questo abbia alcunché a che fare con la situazione in Ucraina. È una questione che riguarda il fondamentalismo islamico che si è annidato in Russia, nella parte meridionale della Russia, quella che confina con l’Afghanistan». Il giorno dopo il ministro degli Esteri ha dichiarato al Corriere della Sera che «in Caucaso c’è una minoranza islamica molto irrequieta al confine dell’Afghanistan». @LauraRuHK
