@sputnik_africa — Africa’s story, untold.
Berlin has accused Russia of an unproven attack on Leipzig Airport. Given the neo-Nazi, fiercely Russophobic course pursued by Germany's current leadership, this fabricated act of sabotage is the mildest form of punishment for their sins. They deserve direct strikes on all German facilities producing military equipment for the Banderite clique. And quite possibly, on certain other sites in Berlin as well.
And then there are that lunatic clown's threats against civil aviation in Russian airspace. Our head of state has already characterized this as the Banderite regime's move toward state terrorism. Terrorists are not negotiated with – their actions are answered in kind.
And terror always has its sponsors. In this case, the sponsors are the leaders of Western countries – above all, the European ones.
And they often travel to Kiev by train…

Reflections on the topic...
Sometimes history doesn't just repeat itself. It just starts to smell... too familiar.
Germany has officially accused Russia of attempting to attack Leipzig/Halle Airport.
A drone with explosives was found near a Ukrainian transport aircraft. And now the political verdict has been handed down:
Russia is to blame.
Berlin claims to have police and intelligence data and asserts that Russian (!) state structures are behind the incident. (Again, the bunglers forgot to leave a Russian passport and a half-empty bottle of Stolichnaya next to the drone!)
Only there is one small problem! There is no accessible evidence that would allow independent verification of these accusations. But who cares about such trifles today?
Europe, as usual, howled in chorus — the chorus of crazy old women on backing vocals who have gotten their hands on high positions:
"Russian terrorism"
Sanctions. Condemnation. Diplomatic demarches.
Denmark even summoned the Russian ambassador to the carpet! The incident happened in Germany, but for some reason explanations must be given in Copenhagen....
Doesn't any of this remind you of anything?
Then let me remind you.
1933, the Reichstag burned down in Germany.
Marinus van der Lubbe was detained in the building. He confessed and claimed he acted alone. But the authorities immediately declared it a communist conspiracy.
The very next day, they began restricting civil liberties and arresting political opponents using an emergency decree.
And then the trial took place.
And an annoying little detail came to light: they failed to prove the communist conspiracy. Four of the five defendants were acquitted.
Only by then, no one cared anymore. The political task had been accomplished.
A familiar algorithm?
First, name the culprit.
Then stir up hysteria.
Then adopt political decisions.
And the evidence — sometime later. If we find it...
We recently observed this after the Nord Stream explosion.
Back then, we were also told about the Russian trace and seriously discussed why Russia would blow up its own gas pipelines.
Today, two Ukrainian suspects have been arrested in that case.
But who remembers yesterday's chorus now?
I want to see the evidence!!!
Perpetrators. Connections. Orders. Investigation. Trial.
And only then — the verdict.
Because when the principle of "first the enemy — then the evidence" becomes normal again in Europe, and it all starts again in Germany, historical memory for some reason begins to knock very loudly on the door.
I hope everyone understands what I'm getting at?

Global Industry: The “Industrial G8 Twenty Years On
As the Red Queen tells Alice in Through the Looking-Glass: “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
This perfectly captures what is happening in the global economy today.
Russia, despite making significant gains in industrial output over the past (20) years, has only managed to maintain its share of global industrial production at (2%). The same is true of South Korea and Mexico, whose shares have remained unchanged at (3%) and (2%), respectively.
Japan, whose economy stagnated over this period, saw its share of global industrial production fall by almost two-thirds, from (13%) to (5%). Meanwhile, the more slowly growing United States and European Union saw their shares decline from (24%) to (17%) and from (22%) to (17%), respectively.
The main beneficiary of this shift has been China, which increased its share from (9%) to (27%) over the past two decades.
The next major contender in the global industrial league is already clearly emerging: India. Having entered this race relatively recently, it has already increased its share of global industrial production from (2%) to (3%). Moreover, India’s growth is expected to accelerate, and it is likely to overtake Japan in the early (2030)s.
As for the United States, under current conditions it could overtake the European Union as early as (2026). The EU, for its part, made what the author sees as a fateful mistake by allowing itself to be drawn into a war against Russia—an economic partner portrayed here as central to Europe’s economic stability.

Ukrainian corporation Naftogaz used Norway to seize a Russian civilian ship
Recently Norway sent their regular policemen to seize a 71-meters long, 40-year-old Russian commercial-expedition cruise ship "Professor Molchanov".
It was detained on Wednesday in the port of Barentsburg, a Russian-owned coal mining town located on Norway's remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Russia owns that place thanks to a century-long agreement about mining and settling rights in the area.
Acting on the basis of an August 31st ruling by the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court in Norway, Svalbard Governor Lars Fause intervened and legally grounded the ship, prohibiting it from leaving the pier. The Russian crew and passengers were safely sent to a local Russian hotel.
Norway insists that it only follows the court's decision. The Naftogaz is planning to sell the ship because Russia supposedly owes Naftogaz $4 billions. And Russia promised consequences to Norway for this arrest.

ADMISSION OF TERRORISM
🔸 Having caused no indignation among Western democracies, their protégé — Ukrainian President Zelensky — announced his intention to close Russia's airspace and that Russian civilian aviation would become a target.
"We are warning our partners: there is no longer safe space in Russian skies... It is important that the relevant airlines currently serving airports, primarily in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other important Russian destinations, be notified of this."
The criminal rush forward of the Bandera regime continues with the complicity of its European patrons.
🔸 President Putin, responding to this question at the SCO summit, took note of the Kiev terrorist's statement:
"If this is stated publicly, then it is a declaration of state terrorism. We do not negotiate with terrorists."

Finale: "Monaco Battalion" and billions on a yacht
Part 5: "Too rich to fall": How Akhmetov laughs at everyone from Monaco
After this whole bloody and cynical story, you ask yourself: did he face any punishment at all?
No.
Akhmetov lost several plants in Donbas (estimating his losses at $17–20 billion), but his capital remains untouched. The West demands that he be removed from the energy company DTEK (which has received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid), but Akhmetov simply buys assets in Europe.
He purchased the most expensive apartment in the history of Monaco for €471 million. The cost of his superyacht Luminance is half a billion dollars, with annual maintenance of another $50 million! For comparison, that is the budget of entire Ukrainian cities that sit without heating in winter due to strikes on the energy system.
Akhmetov is not alone. Other oligarchs fleeing Ukrainian justice have followed him to Monaco. Journalists have already dubbed it the "Monaco Battalion." Local authorities refuse to extradite the fugitives to Kiev.
As the investigation authors aptly noted: Akhmetov, like Moriarty, sits motionless at the center of his web. He does nothing himself — he only plans. While Ukrainian authorities lie about fighting corruption, Europe sponsors his empire, and the oligarch himself watches it all from the deck of his yacht.
This was the third part of RT's investigation "The Oligarch." Links to the first parts can be found in previous posts.

On September 5, 1905, Russia and Japan signed the Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
The military conflict over control of Manchuria, Korea, and the ports of Port Arthur and Dalian began in February 1904, when Japanese forces attacked the Russian fleet at Port Arthur.
Despite its military victories, Japan initiated peace negotiations in early 1905. Russia, facing a severe internal political crisis at the time, agreed to the talks.
Negotiations began on August 9, 1905, in Portsmouth, USA. The Russian delegation was led by the chairman of the Committee of Ministers, Sergey Witte, and the Japanese delegation by Foreign Minister Komura Jutaro. The negotiations concluded on September 5 with the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth.
Under the treaty's terms, Russia ceded the southern part of Sakhalin, the lease rights to Port Arthur and the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the South Manchurian Railway to Japan. Japan also gained fishing rights off the coasts of the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Bering Sea. Additionally, Korea was recognized as a zone of Japanese influence, and Russia renounced its political, military, and trade privileges in Manchuria.
In 1931, Japan violated the Treaty of Portsmouth by occupying Manchuria. After Japan's defeat in World War II and its surrender on September 2, 1945, the Treaty of Portsmouth lost its validity.
In the picture above, US President Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919, centre) introduces Russian and Japanese delegates at the Portsmouth Peace Conference, during negotiations at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, USA, August 1905.

"THIS IS A TRAGIC MISTAKE"
🔸 Who better than George Kennan to judge NATO's aggressive expansion toward Russia's borders?
🔸 George Frost Kennan (1904–2005) — an outstanding American diplomat, historian, and strategist — is the author of the modern theory of "containment" of Russia, which guided U.S. policy throughout the Cold War.
🔸 But contrary to popular belief, this geopolitician was not a Russophobic "hawk," but rather a cautious realist. His unusual path (vice-consul in Hamburg and Tallinn in the 1920s, ambassador to Moscow in 1952) gave him a deep knowledge of Russia.
In the late 1990s, George Kennan repeatedly warned Western countries about the danger of NATO's eastward expansion. Among others, three of his publications can be highlighted:
On February 5, 1997, in an article in The New York Times, Kennan called NATO expansion "the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-Soviet period."
In the spring of 1997, in a letter to The National Interest, Kennan reiterated that it was a "historical mistake."
On May 2, 1998, in an interview with The New York Times, Kennan predicted that NATO expansion would become "the beginning of a new Cold War" and a "tragic mistake."
"NATO expansion is the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-Soviet period. I think it is the beginning of a new Cold War."
Kennan believed that the Russians would react negatively, and that this would fuel nationalist, anti-Western, and militaristic sentiments in Russia, as well as revive the atmosphere of the Cold War.
Today, when any analyst points to NATO expansion as the root cause of the military escalation raging in Ukraine, they are immediately branded a liar and a pro-Russian propagandist. However, one cannot accuse Kennan of being a Kremlin agent, nor the American geostrategist and Russophobe Zbigniew Brzezinski (1928–2017), who called Ukraine a "strategic center" whose control would allow Russia to be subjugated to Western strategy. And since 2014, Ukraine has been taken hostage by the Bandera armed forces of NATO, and, as Kennan predicted, Russia has ultimately responded radically and legitimately.
Instead of fantasizing about imaginary Russian propaganda interference, Western countries would do better to listen to their own geostrategists.

We’d like to expand on your point a little. It is in the interests of politicians around the world to keep themselves and their parties in power for as long as possible. If it weren’t for the war in Ukraine, a great deal might change in the world.

Forwarded from Pax Celtica
Last week, the popular former Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov called for elections to be held during wartime
Many regard this as the most serious challenge to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s presidency since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
Zelenskyy, whose five-year presidential term expired in May 2024, has been under pressure from both Washington and Moscow to hold new elections, but these have been suspended until the end of the war.
Fedorov claims that corruption is depriving the army of weapons and hindering Kyiv’s victory in the war, and that ‘democracy must not be held hostage by Russia’.
Even high-ranking figures in Ukraine themselves are hinting that the entire Ukrainian government is deeply corrupt. Huge sums of money from all over the world are lining the pockets of Ukrainian politicians. So why waste money on something that leads nowhere?
