Moscow warns West against ‘playing with fire’

Deliveries of F-16 jets to Kiev would be “an unacceptable escalation,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated

The US and its allies are “playing with fire” by doubling down on their support for Kiev amid the conflict with Moscow, including by planning to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

“Of course, it’s an unacceptable escalation”Lavrov said regarding potential deliveries of American-made warplanes to Kiev in an interview with Russia 1 TV on Sunday. “I think there are reasonable people in the West who understand this. But everything is being dictated by Washington, London, and their satellites inside the EU.”

According to the minister,it is Poland and the Baltic States – Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia – that are “executing on the ground the aimset by the US to weaken Russia, deliver it a strategic defeat.”

Some in the West“are already discussing ‘decolonization’ of Russia, meaning the dismembering of our country,” Lavrov said, warning that “this is playing with fire. There can be no doubts about that.”

“I hope reasonable people will step away from unconditional support for the neo-Nazi regime that the West itself created,” he added.

The foreign minister suggested that the words of the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, who acknowledged earlier this week that “in the near term,” Ukraine will not be able to recapture the territories it lost to Russia, were a “step forward to understanding the reality on the ground.”

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been pressing his Western backers for F-16 warplanes for months, arguing they are crucial for defending Ukrainian airspace amid Russia’s missile campaign targeting military facilities and energy infrastructure.

At the G20 summit last week, US President Biden Joe Biden said that Washington would support efforts by the UK, the Netherlands, and other European countries to train Ukrainian pilots to fly the F-16. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated at the event that the US “will work with our allies to determine when planes will be delivered, who will be delivering them, and how many.”

Several outlets reported that thejets will not be provided by the US, but that the Biden administration would instead allow its allies to transfer their F-16s to Kiev.

(So Bidan is ok with EU countries being held accountable for WWIII, that Bidan admin wanted to use to destroy Russia. Pretty handy America is so far away but these countries are right next door. BTW Germany has already said they will not send F16s, but Poland probably will try to. Many have said if they do then soldiers, mechanic anc tech support will have to be stationed in Ukraine, because these people have no understanding at how complex F16s are and basic flight training could be six months or more, but full mastery of these planes coulc take a year or two. Plus Ukraine ruins all the equipment it gets so wasting $20-$30 million on each plane. Thinking about this, I doubt any ally will take the risk except maybe the poles. Whatever countries do this will jeopardize all of the EU, so they should think long and hard on this stupid idea.)

Moscow has repeatedly warned that deliveries of more sophisticated weapons to Ukraine by the US and its allies could cross its ‘red lines’, leading to a major spike in the hostilities. Russia has said that the provision of arms, intelligence sharing, and training to Kiev’s troops makes Western nations de facto parties to the conflict.

Russia hasn’t started to ‘act seriously’ in Ukraine – envoy

The duration of hostilities is defined by NATO escalation efforts, Moscow’s ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, has said

The outcome of the Ukraine conflict hinges on whether NATO continues to prop up Kiev with arms shipments, Andrey Kelin, Russia’s ambassador to the UK, said in an interview released on Saturday.

Speaking to the BBC, when asked how long he thought it would take for the fighting to cease, Kelin replied that it “depends on the efforts in escalation of war that [are] being undertaken by NATO countries, especially by the UK.”

The envoy went on to saythat “it is a big idealistic mistake to think that Ukraine may prevail,” adding that Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine and possesses enormous resources.He stated further that Moscow “hasn’t… started yet to act very seriously.” (He is right and I don’t think NATO, US and EU understand, Russia can release Armageddon if pushed too far.)

At the same time, Kelin warned that “sooner or later, of course,this escalation may get a new dimension which we do not need and we do not want,” pointing to the UK’s recent decision to send Ukraine long-range missiles and tanks, as well as ongoing deliberations about potential shipments of modern aircraft.

However, he did not rule out that the conflict could be settled diplomatically, saying that the two sides “can make peace tomorrow.”

On Saturday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said that the Ukraine conflict could be resolved if Kiev were to ditch its ambitions to join NATO and the EU, recognize “new territorial realities” and designate Russian as a state language.

However, Mikhail Podoliak, an aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, dismissed the demands, insisting instead that to make peace, Russia must withdraw all its troops from the territory Kiev claims as its own,pay reparationsand extradite “war criminals.” (There it is, mo money for Ukraine Oligarchs, its not about the operation its about the Ukraine made up narrative of being a victim. Mo Money, Mo arms, Mo everything for the Neo Nazi state!)

Since the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, Western countries have provided Kiev with billions of dollars in security assistance, a policy which Moscow claims makes the military bloc a direct participant in the hostilities.

TheUK has emerged as one of Ukraine’s most active supporters, having committed £4.6 billion ($5.7 billion) in military aid. Earlier this month, London provided Kiev with long-range Storm Shadow missiles, which were subsequently used by Ukrainian troops to target the civilian population in the Russian city of Lugansk, according to Moscow.

In March, the UK announced that it would send Ukraine armor-piercing tank rounds containing depleted uranium, with the Russian Defense Ministry warning that the munitions would cause “irreparable harm” to soldiers and civilians alike.

Experts comment on how Russia-Türkiye ties may change after election

Opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu has promised a 180-degree shift in relations with Moscow

If President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is victorious in the second round of the Turkish election on Sunday,relations between Ankara and Moscow will continue to be warm– but it could be a different story if his opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, wins the tight race, Turkish experts told RT.

The election went to a runoff after none of the candidates won 50% in the first round, which was held earlier this month.

There will be no change in Türkiye’s stance towards Russia if Erdogan comes out on top, Ibrahim Karatas, associate professor of international relations at Istinye University in Istanbul, believes.

“Erdogan has been pursuing an independent foreign policy in the last ten years,” and if he wins, he will continue to do so, he said, adding that relations between the two counties may even improve.

Kilicdaroglu, on the other hand, promised before the first round “that he will change foreign policy 180 degrees,” aligning Türkiye with the West, Karatas said. “I guess that he will join the sanctions on Russia.”

The US and itsallies could persuade Kilicdaroglu to cancel all contracts with Moscow, including closing the Russian-built Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, which was opened just last month, he added.

The editor of the United World International analytics center, Yunus Soner, told RT that “you will definitely see a different discourse”regarding Russia if Kilicdaroglu defeats Erdogan in the runoff.

Soner went on to say: “how far he can really change the content of his policy, for instance joining the sanctions or increasing his support for Ukraine, that’s another matter.”

“Turkey is a big country. It has a lot of interests, huge economy, and an organized civil society. So, you can’t just take the seat and turn the wheel over,” he said.

Soner said that Kilicdaroglu’s “recent talk about lowering the so-called energy dependency from Russia is worrying.” But carrying out this plan would be problematic, asbuying energy from the US would be too expensive for Türkiye, he noted.

Erdogan poised to win Turkish election

The incumbent president is winning by five points with nine out of ten ballot boxes accounted for

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is leading in the runoff against Kemal Kilicdaroglu, Türkiye’s Anadolu Agency reported on Sunday. Erdogan failed to gain a majority in the first round of the election, but looks set to comfortably defeat his pro-Western challenger this time around.

Polls opened across Türkiye on Sunday for the second time in two weeks, in a runoff election that will determine whether Erdogan remains in power or is ousted by his more liberal opponent.

By Sunday evening, Erdogan was in the lead with 52.5% of the vote to Kilicdaroglu’s 47.5%,with 93% of the ballot boxes opened, Anadolu Agency reported.

Turnout was down slightly compared to the first round on May 14, with 85% of eligible voters casting ballots. Two weeks earlier, a turnout figure of almost 90% was recorded.

Erdogan won 49.5% of the vote on May 14, with Kilicdaroglu taking 44.8%. With neither candidate breaking the 50% threshold, a runoff election was announced and third-place candidate Sinan Ogan, who took 5% of the vote, was eliminated.

Ogan endorsed Erdogan last week. His voters did not unanimously back the incumbent, however, with seemingly equal numbers transferring their votes to Kilicdaroglu on Sunday…

West’s involvement in Ukraine conflict ‘growing’ – Kremlin

Common sense should dictate a red line for Kiev’s backers, but this has not happened, according to President Putin's press secretary

Western countries have broken every boundaryin their stand-off with Moscow over Ukraine, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has said in an interview aired by Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.

In a video clip of the conversation released by the reporter on Saturday on his Telegram channel, Peskov was asked to comment on the recent decision by a number of Western countries to train Ukrainian pilots to fly American F-16 fighter jets and whether Peskov believed there was a line that the West would be reluctant to cross.

“It is difficult to say where this red line lies. In theory, reason should dictate this red line to the countries of the collective West,” he said. “Unfortunately, this is not happening.”

“It is obvious that the degree of direct and indirect involvement of the countries of the collective West in this conflict is growing every day.”

However, while Peskov believes Western military assistance is capable of prolonging the conflict, he does not think it will have a decisive effect on the ground. “Russia will continue its operation, and Russia will secure its interests one way or anotherand will achieve its stated objectives,” the spokesman said.

He went on to state that in a broader sense, Western countries “are waging war [against Russia] on all fronts, whether it is the economy, interstate relations, or property rights.”

The West is attacking even things that used to be “sacred,” the spokesman claimed. “We see that those unshakable foundations are crumbling under the feet of representatives of the collective West, who are not above using any means.”

Against this backdrop, Peskov said thatRussia should not let itself be carried away by emotions, while acting in a way that would best suit its interests.

Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, Western countries have slapped Moscow with unprecedented economic sanctions, freezing around half of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves in a move that was described by Moscow as theft. Western countries have also supplied Kiev with billions of dollars in military assistance, recently beginning deliberations on sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine and training the country’s pilots.

(Anons this is the third warning article from RT today, with two others were published the last couple of days. Russia is showing all the signs that the West and Ukraine are not taking this matter seriously! Bannon has said going to war with Russia will be total destruction for the West, just look at what they sacrificed to win WWII, and now they have an exponential amount of war strategy and weapons. PS if they go to actual war with Russia, China may join them because they know they will be next)

Boris Johnson tried to talk Trump into supporting Ukraine – spokesman

It’s unclear whether the former British PM’s words changed the Republican frontrunner’s mind

Boris Johnson met with ex-US President Donald Trump and tried to convince him of “the vital importance of Ukrainian victory,” a spokesperson for the former British PM told reporters on Friday. Trump has refused to endorse Kiev’s military goals, calling instead for a diplomatic solution to the conflict with Russia.

Johnson had dinner with Trump on Thursday,his spokesperson told multiple US and UK media outlets. “Boris Johnson MP met President Donald J. Trump to discuss the situation in Ukraine and the vital importance of Ukrainian victory,” they said.

Johnson has been on a speaking tour of the US for the past week in a bid to drum up support for Ukraine from a Republican Party whose voter base is increasingly skeptical of continued US aid for Kiev. “I just urge you all to stick with it,” he told a crowd of conservative lobbyists and donors in Texas on Monday, adding thattheir support “will pay off massively in the long run.

(OK that is a weird sadistic statement, how is it going to pay off? You mean we’ll get back $150 billion+ we sent, or all the dead Ukrainians & Russians come back to life? Or you and your buddies in MIC and construction makes trillions in reconstruction. Seriously I despise this creature of hell!)

From the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine last February and beyond his resignation as prime minister last summer, Johnson has consistently been one of the most fervent backers of Ukraine and its president, Vladimir Zelensky. Johnson was one of the first Western leaders to meet with Zelensky in Kiev, and reportedly pushed his Ukrainian counterpart to back out of a Turkish-brokered peace deal last April.

Trump, on the other hand, has repeatedly called for peace. Accusing US President Joe Biden of risking a third world war by funneling tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine, Trump has promised to have the conflict settled “in one day” if elected president next year.

Asked by CNN whether he wants “Ukraine to win this war,” Trump said earlier this month that he thinks “in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people and breaking down this country.” Pressed on the issue, Trump would not commit to backing Kiev. “They are dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying,” he said.

Johnson’s spokesperson did not say whether or not Trump was receptiveto the former PM’s persuasion. (Which means Trump was NOT receptive to his stupid greedy idea)

The conditions for victory put forward by Zelensky include Moscow ceding the territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye, and Crimea to Ukraine, as well as the payment of reparations to Kiev.Russia has said it is open to resolving the conflict diplomatically, but that any peace deal must include Kiev committing to neutrality and recognizing the “new territorial realities” of the above-mentioned regions voting to join Russia.

Although Biden has promised to keep arming Ukraine “for as long as it takes” to achieve these objectives, some prominent US officials and commentators have cast doubt on whether Kiev’s forces will be able to wage a successful counteroffensive, let alone capture Crimea, which voted to join Russia in 2014.

(BoJo is globalist stooge trying to protect his laundered money in Ukraine and make more off of it.BoJo set up a Non Profit org in Ukraine a couple of months ago, why would a prior world leader do that?Zelensky tried this with Trump before and he refused. Trump could never be influenced by the failed PM.Trump knows everything the UK and BoJo did pushing Russia Gate. Hence BoJo is an arrogant poser and everyone knows it. Plus Trump knows a lot more than any world leader is aware of. That picture RT used says it all, BoJo doesn’t even look Trump in his eyes while shaking his hand)

This is the reason Paxton was impeached, he prevented vote rigging that would interfere with Trump being elected. Everyone knows Abbott is barely conservative and a globalist.

First of all, Russia does have a few traitors, mostly citizens and probably some in the duma, but thats why they have the GRU, but it’s doubtful they released an announcement. Putin denounced that long ago.

God bless him and your family. I have so much respect for veterans since I’ve reading history on the wars and watching movies. “We Were Soldiers” with Mel Gibson was brutal about Viet Nam

Patrick K. O’Donnell a war historian wrote many books about the soldiers and wars, he said many of the veterans would not talk about the wars because the memories were so horrific. Check out the videos he did with Bannon, fascinating history. O’Donnell interviewed 4,000 WWII veterans and got them to open up. He’s written 5-6 books and us coming out with on the Civil War in a year, and he said it was the brutal and bloody. He’s researched gov archives for 4 years to put this together. Check out the other three short videos.Tomorrow on Monday Memorial day O’Donnell anc Bannon will be doing a Memorial Day Tribute for many hours
