What If The Global Oil Crisis Is About To Get Really Serious

 

We're in an oil crisis, with oil and gas supplies from Russia not available because of sanctions related to the war in Ukraine, The Strait of Hormuz, through which oil and gas from the Persian Gulf region must pass, effectively closed (no matter what the propaganda says,) and the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Houthis threatening to deny oil shipped from the Saudi's Red Sea oil ports to western markets. The Houthis control the Bab al Mandab strait at the entrance to The Red Sea. 

We have reported on Ukraine's sabotage of Russia's Nordstream pipeline, Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis before but what if the global it is about to get much, much worse?

We are not talking about another $10 per barrel rise in the cost of crude oil but a genuine global energy emergency, where oil reaches $150 or even $200 a barrel, physical shortages begin shutting down meaningful portions of the global economy, and central banks find themselves confronting an inflationary recession.

Global crude oil consumption is roughly 100 million barrels per day. That oil powers cars, trucks, trains, agricultural equipment, factories, and enormous portions of the world’s air, and marine transport and industrial infrastructure. It also provides the raw materials for plastics, chemicals, packaging, and countless manufactured products. And Natural Gas is the main fuel for electricity generating plant in many of the largest economies.

Under normal circumstances, this gigantic system operates almost invisibly. Oil is pumped out of the ground, loaded onto tankers or moved through pipelines, delivered to refineries, and transformed into the fuels and materials that keep the global economy functioning.

If oil cannot be transported from Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States via The Red Sea or Hormuz to a refinery in Europe or Asia, or if a refinery cannot obtain the particular crude it needs, that supply effectively disappears from the market until the problem is resolved.

The Saudi authorities said they intercepted two missiles targeting Riyadh, a day after they said Houthi strikes on airports in the kingdom killed three people. 
 
Oil prices rose sharply on Thursday (October 8), with Brent crude, the global benchmark, up more than 5 percent as explosions were reported in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Thursday as the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen claimed to have attacked the city’s international airport for the second time this week. 

The targeting of Riyadh has raised pressure on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto leader, to resolve the escalating conflict as the fighting threatens his plans to turn the country into a business and tourism hub. Riyadh is set to host several international events in the coming weeks, including an annual investment summit hosted by Prince Mohammed that is typically attended by world leaders, billionaires and top global executives.

 

The situation in all major markets os volatile, only yestrday (Wednesday,) oil pricesfell President Trump just issued a new Truth Social Post Thursday just after noon time (eastern), wherein he declared "we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections" in November. This is quite bizarre as oil trades are not based on stocks of extracted oil, but contracts to buy oil that will not be extracted for months.

Now should Trump restart his campaign against Iran and the Irainians show the kind of resilience they have to date not only will oil prices soar, supplies will be hit hard. And others may take advantage of the chaos to pursue their own agendas.  Turkey waiting ready and willing to fight Houthis. That brings in NATO. Trump say he will not attack Iran before midterms but that was before the Houthis attack on the Saudi capital. 

 And so the local wars become a regional war and may even escalate beyond that.

There certainly are plenty of signs of significant US escalations in Ukraine, in West Asia, and in Iran, possibly all three concurrently.  There cannot be many additional sanctions or economic warfare tactics left for Trump and NATO to use and those already applied have mostly backfired, with China and Inia having been the main beneficiaries as the sanctions have hit hardest on the nations that applied them.  But mostly the US / NATO plans have not done well.  The Ruble was supposed to be rubble by now and Russia was supposed to be out of men and missiles.  Iran was supposed to be a colony of Israel by now.  Even Palestine is still around. 

It look like being a blesk midwinter for many of us.

Intercepted Messages Hint That Putin's Patience With Ukraine Has Run Out And He Will Weaponise Winter Against Zelensky's Regime

 

One of the great mysteries of the war in Ukraine is why the Russians have put up with the crazy Ukie's escalations, provocations and murderous stupidity for so long. Ukraine could have had peace on very reasonable terms in April 2022 but chose to allow the USA and Europe to bribe or bully them into continuing the conflict.

In the intervening four years Russia has suffered significant losses of personnel and equipment but Ukraine has been crushed to the extent it will ever again be able to function as a nation. 

As we move into the winter of 2026/27 statements from The Kremlin suggest Putin is at last preparing to destroy Ukraine's resistance. Maybe it is the possibility of earning huge revenues from resumption of the trade in its natural resources with the US after the conflict ends, an opportunity created by conflicts in the middle east which are not likely to reach an early conclusion as Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Houthis, respectively allies of the original combatants, USA and Iran have now re-ignited their long standing animosity and that conflict has disrupted the flow of  oil based exports from the Red Sea via the Bab al Mandab strait as well as through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. 

Now is the winter of Ukraine's discontent - Picture: Zero Hedge

 The New York Times claims to have intercepted Russian communications which discuss plans to obliterate Ukraine's power, heating, and water systems through the coming winter. Though this is not confirmed, it aligns with Putin "escalating to de-escalate" over the summer in response to Zelensky's strike campaign, which has taken the form of ramping up attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. If the report is true such action would bring Ukraine to its knees.

Putin has previously held back from this option, perhaps due to his belief that Russians and Ukrainians are kindred people. However some mainstream media commentators have suggested that Russia  is running out of weapons, soldiers, oil, money and food, although their opinions seem to be based on Ukrainian propaganda. In the end it does not matter whether the development is due to low weapons production, trade opportunities or to hedge against the possibility of a hot war with NATO. If Putin and his politbureau have now realised Zelensky's corrupt regime will not surrender as long as the flow of cash and saleable goods from the west continues, the humanitarian consequences of ending the war on Russia's terms sooner rather than later, may well be less severe for the long suffering citizens of Ukraine than letting it run on until Zelensky & Co are ousted by rebellion or simply decide they have enough cash and golden toilets..

From a western point of view a number of American and European countries have some very large investments in Ukraine--mainly because Zelensky sold off chunks of Ukrainian land, resources and, we must presume, industries, to foreign interests--such as Blackrock and Monsanto. A Russian take-over of Ukraine--I think even of the parts of eastern Ukraine that are now essentially part of Russia--means that those who bought parts of Ukraine from Zelensky are now suffering from an "damaged assets" problem. That is they are either worthless or soon will be if Ukraine becomes part of Russia or is divided between Russia, Poland and Romania.

And having some very large worthless assets on the balance sheet is not good for corporate businesses or national economies. If the losses are big enough, this situation can cause a serious financial crisis.

So if the Trump administration and European leaders have been up to: trying to persuade Russia to make some kind of deal that would allow some of these investors to retain ownership, at least in part, of their holdings in areas that Russia has already taken over that makes sense. they will be looking for a way out, or some kind of relief at least. 

I fear there are a lot of similar situations in the Middle East. A lot of banks and many of the world' biggest corporations lot of money that's not going to be paid back. We could be heading into the biggest financial crisis ever.

'New Threats' Prompted US Bombers To Leave RAF Fairford - Trump

The news yesterday that the USA had withdrawn all of its bombers from RAF Fairford, the scene of a rather bizarre (according to mainstream media reports,) security incident being investigated by counter-terror police.

An official statement from The Pentagon confirmed on Sunday that the bombers - thought to be about a dozen B-1s - had left the base, having been recalled back to their home stations in America.

US media reported a new threat led to the bombers being removed, which follows the incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three "suspicious vehicles" near the airbase. So far reports on the story in mainstream media have oscillated between a very poor parody of a Bond film and a Keystone Cops silent farce.

A short time ago President Trump said the US moved its bombers out of RAF Fairford because of new threats to the base.

Asked if there was a "specific threat" that led to the removal of the US bombers, Mr Trump replied: "Yeah I think we can say that.

"They didn't fly out by accident.

"There were some threats. And rather than tempting the enemy, we'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy. But why should we leave them there? So we moved them around a little bit. Not very far."

It comes after US secretary of state Marco Rubio said the removal of the US bombers was not directly connected to the arrests of five men near the base.

The incident has drawn particular attention because RAF Fairford has been used for US military operations involving Iran since Britain authorised Washington to conduct specific defensive operations from the base in March

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a foreign actor may have been involved, while Iran has denied any connection.

Russia Bombs Kiev Bridges In Bid To Split The City

 

 

Support cables of a Kiev bridge are hit by Russian drone - Picture: Valentyn Ogirenko/Reuters via Daily Telegraph 

 

 Reports from Ukraine highlight a new Russian tactic which may yet prompt citizens to rebel against the corrupt Zelensky regime which is still doing everything possible to prolong the war even at their country is being destroyed and a generation of young men conscripted into military service are being slaughtered. That doing so amounts to national suicide is irrelevant to the corrupt regime of course, so long as the neo - Nazi cabal can keep enriching themselves by skimming off the cash flowing from the USA and Europe.

Several bridges in Kyiv have been closed as the result of new Russian drone attacks which killed one person in the city, the Ukrainian capital's authorities said Friday. 

According to reports Russia has now hit four of eight bridges that connect Kyiv's western and eastern banks along the Dnipro River, with three being closed to to extensive damage..  

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city's Southern Bridge, also known as the Pivdennyi Bridge, was "completely closed" to traffic after the most recent attack on Friday (October 2) and the North Bridge was closed after a series of strikes on its supporting cables last week..

The concrete and steel bridge carries road vehicles and a metro rail line. The Southern Bridge has been hit twice over the two days by Russian drone attacks.  

The Paton Bridge was also closed to traffic towards the left bank of the Dnipro River, and the North Bridge Klitschko said.   

Russia's Ministry of Defence said its drones targeted a bridge over the Dnipro which is used for military purposes. Russia also said it attacked a power station in the surrounding Kyiv region alongside the Port of Izmail near the Black Sea and a cargo vessel.  

A Russian attack on Kyiv also left one person in dead and at least two others injured after a strike hit a 25-story building in the Darnytskyi district.

There are indications that the public mood is swinging against Zelensky however, as protests against widespread fraud by government officials make clear even to the most blinkered citizen that their country in being used as the fall guy in NATO's proxy war against Putin's Russia. 

Russia warned foreign nationals to leave Kiev back in May. Another, more forceful warning was issued earlier today: stay and you are exposing yourself to mortal danger. Add these attacks on Kiev’s bridges to the concurrent attacks on power substations, rail links, data centres, etc., and it’s becoming pretty obvious that Moscow intends to cut Kiev off from the West.

In my opinion, it is becoming increasingly clear that Russia has decided it needs to actually take Kiev in order to secure its western border.

He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

When Trump's War With Iran Reignites Will The Next Move Be Made By Washington, The Houthis In Yemen Or Putin?

 

America's war with Iran is not over and just about every commentator in mainstream r alternative news expect another large scale American attack just as soon as US President Trump thinks it politically expedient. Most of the speculation is currently that any such attack would only happen in mid to late November – i.e. after the US midterm election.

But why would Trump want to wait when he could use an attack as a tool in the election – to demonstrate decisiveness or whatever other political advantage he might gain from it.

Axios, a favourite news outlet for the White House public relations machine, today released this announcement:

Trump’s top national security aides meet secretly at Camp David on Iran, Yemen

President Trump’s top cabinet members huddled for hours at Camp David on Friday to discuss next steps in the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen, three U.S. officials told Axios.

The highly unusual meeting was not announced by the Trump administration. The last time a similar meeting took place was in June 2025, just days before Israel went to war against Iran.
…
Among the other participants were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA director John Ratcliffe and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

“Things were decided or at least deeply discussed,” one of the officials said, referring to the crisis in the Middle East.

The meeting appears to have been a genuine strategy discussion rather than a performative exercise. It could signal the beginning of planning a new attack that, before the election, would have to be decisive. There have however been none of military moves we would expect before a large operation. 

The meeting was discussed this morning by Nima Alkhorshid and Professor Marandi, an Iranian political analyst. Although the focus was more on the latest escalation in the conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the various possibilities as Trump plans his next moves against Iran were analysed. What Iraqi forces will now do was also mentioned. 

The main issue however seems to be Yemen and the real threat Ansarallah poses to the Takfiri Saudi regime. This has a direct bearing on the Iran conflict as the Houthi rebels in Yemen, funded and supplied by Iran, are currently in a position to control marine traffic in and out of The Red Sea via the Bab al Mandab strait. Further disruption of movement through that chokepoint on top of Iran's blockade of The Strait of Hormuz could have a catastrophic effect on the global economy. 

In the latter portion of Suliaman Ahmed’s chat with Davis, Yemen was deeply discussed. Saudi air force attacks are doing nothing to deter/halt Ansarallah advances on the ground that are moving quite rapidly in Yemen’s terrain, which as many are finally noting is very similar to Iran’s near Hormuz. Additional attacks by Yemen/Iran on Emirati oil facilities and Saudi Arabian facilities show there’s much more to this war than control of Hormuz–there must be product to move. Iran’s tactic of denying oil to the West if it is kept from exporting its oil, diesel and petrol (gasoline) is working very well, and Trump and his Gang’s continual spin cannot alter reality. The diesel price crisis within the west is a clear-cut case of Capitalist/BigOil gouging that is only now facing political opposition.

 It appears battlelines are being drawn as the conflict threatens to expand globally. Chinese and likely DPRK (North Korea) and CSTO (former Soviet states,) involvement in the recent changes to the BRICS system for cross border financial transfers as a rival to Swift  is an example. Some reliable insight into the thinking of Russia and China about the effects of this and the Ukraine conflict on the Eastern Mediterranean, West Asia and reconfiguration of governments would be useful too. 

It is difficult to see which way the conflict is going especially as Putin has this week warned NATO that any move against Russia's Baltic enclave, Kaliningrad, would incur serious, possibly nuclear consequences.  One last question being asked: What does Iran plan to do with the millions now volunteering for military duty; will their deployment be defensive, offensive or both?

RAF Fulford False False Flag Narrative Unravels

posted by Arthur Foxake

Last Sunday (27-09-26) in the early hours of the morning, police were called to the countryside outside RAF Fairford, a US-run air base Gloucestershire Police received first report of three suspicious white vans travelling towards RAF Fairford.

At 1 a.m. a farmer from the neighbouring village of Whelford, is passing near RAF Fairford, is driving home from a party when she comes across three vans blocking the path to her farm. Turning around, she later reports seeing “a large group of hooded and masked men” at a nearby junction before they quickly disperse. 

After a failed attempt to contact the Ministry of Defence police, the anonymous farmer phones 999 to alert Gloucestershire Police. Upon arriving at the scene, the plods discovered three white vans and five so far unnamed young men were arrested. Bomb disposal units were called in.

That sounds like the set-up for a fairly cut-and-dry false flag, doesn’t it?

But it gets weirder. 

A few hours later, as Britain is sitting down to breakfast Gloucestershire Police declare a major incident. A 400m security cordon is established around the vans and Army bomb disposal units are deployed. More than 80 households in Whelford are evacuated. Reports claimed the men were small time crooks who were on a mission to steal fuel rather that fifth columnists planning to carry out a terrorist atrocity.

By mid afternoon Counter-terrorism policing announce they are now leading the investigation. The five men are also arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act. US President Donald Trump says suspects had been “under view for a long time”, claiming they had been looking to cause “big damage” to the US-operated facility.

At around 4 p.m. on Monday September 28 police announce that the five men arrested over the RAF Fairford incident a 24-year-old from Camden, north London, three men aged 23, 24 and 25 from Westminster, central London, and one aged 24 from Willesden, north-west London all mysteriously described as 'British nationals' rather than simply British. Police say they are keeping an open mind about foreign interference, saying one possibility could be proxies “either knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state”. 

Trump praises British Police but says suspects had been “under view for a long time”, claiming they had been looking to cause “big damage” to the US-operated facility at RAF Fairford and that he is “surprised” five suspects were released on bail. In comments in the Oval Office, he adds: “I will tell you, I would have said ‘Don’t let them have bail’.” 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the “hand of a foreign actor” appeared to have been at play on Sunday but claims he is limited in what more he can say. 

 The whole thing starts off OK but ends up making no sense at all.

If you’re resident in Central London, why drive all the way to Gloucestershire to steal diesel fuel? Isn’t there anywhere closer? How about former RAF Northolt, now a private airstrip mostly utilised by executive jets? Are we saying that security for billionaires is tighter than for military jets on bombing raids to Iran??

Are we also saying that security at US air bases is so lax that a bunch of incompetent wannabe dicheads could just drive onto a military base and steal fuel, before driving off again? No need to register your arrival at the front gate (even big Pharma sites 20 years ago in Alderley Edge and Dartford made you pass two security desks before meeting real humans)?? Were they just going to use wire cutters to make a hole in the fence big enough to drive white vans through?

Where did the knowledge of location of whatever targets they were targeting come from? The plae is so remote even my brother who lives in Gloucestershire does not knoe exactly where it is. Does the USA post detailed plans of RAF Fairford on the internet to help terrorists treat it like a pinic destination?

 If these guys were on a ‘watch list’as Trump and Rubio suggested, wouldn’t watching them involve following them out of London and tailing them down the M4 if they hired three white vans to go joyriding in? I mean: you just give suspected terrorists free rein to travel all over the country, no questions asked, no surveillance initiated? At the very least, track them with CCTV and have local polds getting curious when they pitched up outside Fairford. 

In spite of all this the suspects were released on bail, which poses another question: how did they get back to London, as their white vans have not yet been released back to them? Do the police arrange taxis for five suspected terrorists?? 

And was the evidence against these was so lacking that the police couldn’t even get search warrants for their HMOs in Central London?? How about internet search records and mobile phone history? Why is it not reported that any of these things have been or are being done.

The whole narrative has an aura of gaslight.

La France en flammes! Ethnic Minority Students Wreak Havoc Across The Nation

Posted by Boggart Bloggers 
Wednesday 1 October 2026

 
Picture: Remix News

 

In France students of immigrant family background have been on the rampage across the country this week, with teachers being doused in petrol  (gasoline,) and injured, schools and buses set on fire, and hundreds of arrests reported. News buletins in France this morning show buses and schools on fire after days of rioting. French Prime Minister Lecornu was forced to convene an interministerial emergency meeting at 1 p.m. to seek ways of containing the crisis.

Rioting and civil unrest have been a regular feature of French life during President Macron's second term in office and several times it seemed as if Macron's government was on the brink of collapse as protesters clashed with riot police in major cities. 

Images of violence and vicious assaults, along with a report of attempted murder, hit France this morning, Oct. 1, as the high school riots began their second week across France. What began as protests demanding better conditions for students and teachers has devolved into violence at dozens of locations, concentrated at schools with large immigrant populations

Further clashes, burning buses, and arson attacks have been reported. French news outlet BFMTV is even speaking of murder attempts being carried out by certain students in one incident where the leadership team of one school in Marseille narrowly escaped death when students tried to set him on fire. 

Protests over crowded classrooms, teacher shortages and lengthy school days have spread across France, with police detaining more than 400 people, many of them minors, on Tuesday.

The movement began at high schools in the Paris area last week before spreading across the entire country. Some school blockades turned violent as protesters burned rubbish bins and hurled bottles at officers, who responded with batons and tear gas. It is noteworthy that the confrontational attitude of the French police only serves to escalate tensions during times of civil unrest. Authorities said 48 law enforcement officers were injured.

The unrest coincided with a public sector strike over the government’s budget plans, adding to political tensions and a headache for Emmanuel Macron ahead of next year’s presidential election when Macron or his chosen successor will face a major challenge from Marine Le Pen and her anti - immigration party Rassemblement National. Mass immigration and the ensuing social problems have become the major political issue all over Europe.

In the working-class suburbs of Aubervilliers and Montreuil, protesting students criticized a lack of resources and expressed the feeling of being left out, while rejecting claims that they are manipulated by radical-left politicians.  

The high school protest movement, now in its second week, keeps gaining momentum. Actions were reported at nearly 410 schools across France on Tuesday, September 29, more than 11% of the country's public and private high schools. The Union syndicale lycéenne, a high school student's union, had called for the movement to spread nationwide to coincide with the civil servant strike, after a week of protests and sporadic blockades in the Paris region. The Education Ministry reported "45 total blockades" and "46 attempted blockades."

 

Picture:AOL 

Some actions led to violent incidents. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced Tuesday evening that 440 arrests were made, mostly of minors. However, most of the protests took place peacefully, bringing together hundreds or even thousands of students with a wide range of grievances.

The Paris region, where the movement started, still accounted for 75 disrupted schools today. Outside the Le Corbusier high school in Aubervilliers, a working-class suburb north-east of Paris in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, it took only half an hour for the handful of students initially stationed at the gates to be joined by dozens more.  "Groups were set up on Snapchat to tell us about the blockade. Word of mouth did the rest," said Kanou and Wiam, both seniors.

Reports say over 350 high schools and about 30 university campuses were affected by the movement on Thursday alone. RFI reported 83 police and gendarmes were wounded today, with 119 students and school staffers injured since the start of unrest last week.

Reuters reported the principal of Marseille’s Victor Hugo high school was doused in gasoline and injured, while two other principals were injured in attacks in Rouen and Petit-Quevilly. Police used tear gas in several cities, with Reuters reporting students accusing authorities of heavy‑handed tactics. Meanwhile, authorities are warning of "urban violence" and attempted arson at multiple schools.

The protests coincide with the government announcing a series of unpopular spending cuts in its 2027 budget two weeks ago and have become a political flashpoint at a ​sensitive moment for the French government.

Moscow Slams Door On Renewed Peace Negotiations As Zelensky Sabotages Another Peace Initiative For Ukraine

The consequence of Ukraine's war (Picture: today.usc.edu/ )

 

Two weeks ago the Kremlin was hinting that negotiations to end Russia's war with Ukraine could resume. Putin had said the trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine would be unlikely before the State Duma elections, but that Russia would be ready to resume contacts after them. The elections ended on September 20. Within a week, both Putin and Lavrov had shifted from conditional openness to a set of positions that make a negotiated end to the war harder to reach than at any point this year. 

The tipping point was Ukraine's drone swarm attack on Russia's election day, which due to its timin could only have been intended to provoke the Russians into changing their position.. Russian state media reported that more than 1,600 drones targeted the Moscow area that night, with strikes on polling stations, including one on a school which was effectively destroyed. 

Also the head of a territorial election commission was killed when her home was hit. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the raid unprecedented. According to RT, two civilians were killed in the suburbs and an oil refinery was damaged. Whatever one makes of Russian accounts of the damage, because throughout this war it has been clear that reports issued by either side cannot be believed, the political effect in Moscow was plain. 

In a press conference on September 25, Putin recast the whole negotiating track. He listed a series of Ukrainian escalations: the strike on St. Petersburg's port during the June economic forum, a campaign against Russian refineries, an attempted blockade of Russia's Black Sea coast that he said damaged more than 100 vessels, and strikes on commercial warehouses. 

Putin's  message to Kyiv was that no provocation or escalation will get it what it wants, and that it is only making its own situation worse.

 He said Russia had answered each one, so effectively that Kyiv is now seeking partial ceasefires in the energy sector and the air.

This, we know from independent sources in the USA, United Nations and NATO is true. As has ben the pattern since 2022, every time a peace initiative has been launched or some leader or other ( principally Donald Trump or Turkey's President Erdogan,) has offered to host negotiations or tried to broker a deal, the crazy, war loving, neo - Nazi Ukies and their putative leaders The Poisonous Pixie With The Piano Playing Penis Zelensky, have sabotaged it by escalating conflict or provoking Russia. 

 We will never know how many of the Ukrainians demonstrating in Maidan in 2013 would have actually turned out if they knew what the unconstitutional overthrow of the corrupt, Kremlin friendly Yanukovich government, engineered by the CIA, NATO and the EU was going to bring about. 

They could have waited a year to throw the democratically elected government out in elections  but were led down the primrose path with false promises that a new future with NATO and European Union was at hand if they wold turn away from Moscow. It was, but with the loss of territory, millions of people , their infrastructure, and an impotent Europe unable to do anything about.it. That is the tragedy and it can’t be undone . Ukraine, as corrupt if not more so now than it was then, could have been much better now without the coup. 

Russia didn't demand much to avoid this war. Ukrainian neutrality. No more CIA bases and American bio weapons labs on their border. Stop killing Russian speaking Ukrainians in Donbas by the thousands with shelling. Put a lid on the Nazism.

But no. Ukraine just had to fight to the death. For what? So they could keep shelling their own people in the Russian speaking eastern provinces? So they could militarise with NATO to attack Russia later? Was it worth it?

A few weeks into the war Russia gave them one more chance to keep all of their territory and end the war. Ukraine would have signed the deal but Bozo Johnson, dispatched as Joe Biden's errand boy ordered them to fight on and warned that there was to be no peace deal that was not pre-approved by the USA and NATO. This intervention forced Ukraine to commit national suicide and also allowed the Banderite (neo - Nazi) Azov Brigade to grab total power. 

The Ukrainian people should stop fighting Russians and attack their real enemies: their leadership, their Galician Nazi and Chosen minders, and the Euro goons and CIA operatives that destroyed them. 

This current stalemate was easy to forecast because NATO and Ukraine want the war to keep going, but Russia has been steadfast in its resolve to keep the annexed land in Ukraine it has already conquered. Actually, the only way to end to the war is to agree with Russia’s demands.  Otherwise, it will be a future effort by NATO and Ukraine that will continue until either Ukraine gives in to Russia’s demands.   

Well, it's just about over now. Millions dead and their economy destroyed. Whatever is left of Ukraine will be buried in debt up to their eyeballs, and the lenders will be demanding payment. Generations of Ukrainians will toil their whole lives to pay back the banksters who ruined them. There will be an exodus of any survivors to avoid that fate. Any left over will probably eventually revolt and default on all obligations. Either way Ukraine will be an impoverished and very poor state for a very long time.

A very stupid prize for a very stupid game. Maybe it's a small consolation that the western European nations that pushed this so hard are also collapsing economically, socially and politically while the American empire is accelerating into terminal decline.

‘We’re Not At War With Russia,’ Germany's Chancellor Scholz tells Warmongering French Ouanqeur Macron
Though Macron's recent posturing as a reincarnated Napoleon by calling on his fellow European leaders to send troops to fight alongside the Ukrainian military may have been nothing more than an ill - advised attempt to deflect attention from online conspiracy theories that his wife Brigitte is, or was at some time in the past, a man, the ploy, if that is what it was, has backfired.

Game Over For Zelensky - NATO andEU Officials Urge Ukraine To Seek Peace
As this blog predicted early last month, following the catastrophic failure of Ukraine's 'counter offensive' to push Russian troops out of their country, American and European leaders who have previously been solidly behind the doomed Ukrainian war with its powerful neighbour, are rapidly going cool on their pledges of unlimited support for puppet - president Zelensky and his far - right masters.

Ukraine's Military Commander Admits Counter - offensive Has Failed And The Battlefield Position Is Stalemate
Since Russian troops crossed the border into Ukraine, back in February 2022, those of us who questioed the Russia bad, Ukraine goood narrative have been targeted by torrents of abuse hurled by pseudo - patriots and armchair soldiers, and called a 'Kremlin stooges', Russian agents', 'Putin supporters', and enemies of freedom.

Ukraine Too Corrupt To Join The EU Says Former EU Leader Juncker
Former EU Commission President and world class oenophile Jean-Claude Juncker, stated this week in unusually blunt terms that are perhaps a sign of the times, that Ukraine is not ready to join the EU due to its being "corrupt at all levels of society," the former European Commission president, said in unusually blunt language during an interview with Germany’s Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper this week.

There Is Only One Way Ukraine Can End The War
As Ukraine's much hyped counterattack has failed to achieved the and momentum that hoped for by American and NATO leaders including President Volodymyr Zelensky who admitted it was "slower than desired", and a range of soldiers interviewed by BBC and Sky News television reporters t on different parts of the long (probably too long given the depletion of Ukrainian military manpower,) frontline have blamed minefields laid by Russian troops for that delay. Well as is often said, in any wartruth is the first casualty.

Who Blew Up The Nordstream Pipeline
So whodunnit? Sabotage of undersea gas pipe will escalate tension and move the world closer to nuclear war, but who is behind it, Russia in a bid to put more presure on Europe, Ukraine in an attempt to drag NATO into direct action, or the USA using a CIA false flag event to advance its own agenda.

Has Putin Has Pushed Europe Into Economic Depression, Hyperrinflation and Currency Collapse?
Though it was entirely predictable and indeed had been expected for some time, the news over the weekend that the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which feeds gas from Russia to northern Europe via The Baltic route had been shut down completely by The Kremlin in retaliation for the continued financial and military support given by NATO and EU member states to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia. The European Commission, governing body of the EU, immediately put the community on something close to a war footing, ...

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
With typical arrogance and condescension towards the people who elected them Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and their respectiive presstitutes are trying to spin the energy crisis Europe and North America are currently facing as somehow being linked to the conflict in Ukraine and therfore blame is being attactched to Russia and Vladimir Putin. Do they really think we are stupid enough to believe such unmitigated bollocks? ...
