WORLD WAR 3

Kiev will not receive any "security guarantees", because its draft is essentially a "prologue" to World War III, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council believes.

EU countries’ stocks of weapons are severely “depleted” in the wake of sending arms to Ukraine, said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

“We have repeatedly warned the U.S. about the consequences that may follow if the U.S. continues to flood Ukraine with weapons," said Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

It broke down shortly after setting off to the U.S. and now sits just off Britain's southern coast. It was considered a NATO flagship, with a £3b pricetag.

The US is STILL falling behind. Its military is in serious trouble, unable to compete with Russia, and unlikely to change going forward. The military Industrial Complex is failing on a massive scale.

“The world has changed and we must be prepared for new realities," wrote UK Warrant Officer Paul Carney.

Moscow has repeatedly warned that “decision-making centers” will be targeted if its territory is attacked. That warning implies Western capitals are vulnerable.

US ‘on brink’ of war with Russia and China – Kissinger. A lack of visionary leadership is to blame, the veteran statesman says.

Kiev’s “reckless” actions are pushing the world ever closer to a major nuclear disaster, Russia’s ambassador to the UN told the UN Security Council at a meeting focused on the Zaporozhye power plant in southern Ukraine.

Amid the military standoff in the Taiwan Strait triggered by the visit of US House Speaker Pelosi to Taiwan last week, the US is planning to send warships through the Taiwan Strait.

The targeted military operations would be aimed at defending China’s territorial integrity and countering foreign interference in Taiwan’s affairs, Wu Qian said.

The role of American intelligence in the war in Ukraine has been put under scrutiny after Russia accused the White House of supplying targeting information used by Kyiv.

Putin signed a new naval doctrine which cast the USA as Russia’s main rival; and set out its global maritime ambitions for crucial areas like the Arctic and Black Seas.

“We have repeatedly made clear our firm opposition to Speaker Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan. If the US... challenges China’s red line, it will be met with resolute countermeasures.”

More bad news for the F-35. The crown jewel of the Air Force fighter fleet has been sidelined for an indeterminate amount of time.

Captured Ukrainian troops have described the Javelin missile launchers – shoulder-fired units sent by both the UK and the US – as “completely useless” in urban combat.

It appears as though Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is about to become a much longer, multi-year operation.

Russian Foreign Minister arrived in Addis Ababa for a working visit to Ethiopia as part of his African tour aimed at strengthening Moscow’s ties with the continent.

Rhetoric has been “unconstructive and unobjective”, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova says. Moscow considers Israel’s anti-Russian stance on the Ukrainian conflict regrettable.

Five months after Russia began its special military operation, Ukraine has lost about 20% of its territory, half its GNP, third of coal production, and more.

The West scrambles to come up with a defence against Russian and Chinese hypersonic missiles.
