The Russian who predicted a debacle in Ukraine

The clip at the end of this post was filmed in April 2021, if you can believe it, but it’s making the rounds on political Twitter today thanks to some new English subtitles that reveal the prescience of the speaker, Alexander Nevzorov. A little googling proves him to be an interesting character, a journalist turned parliamentarian turned filmmaker turned horse-riding enthusiast turned fierce critic of religion and Putin’s government. Some of his specific forecasts about a war between Russia and Ukraine turned out to be on the money, as you’ll see, from the high morale of Ukrainian troops that no one in the Kremlin expected to the shocking haplessness of the Russian air force.

North Korea test-launches its ‘largest intercontinental ballistic missile yet’

North Korea has launched what is thought to be its largest intercontinental ballistic missile to date, in a dramatic return to long-range testing that marks the regime’s most serious provocation for years.

South Korea’s military fired a missile barrage into the Sea of Japan in response to the ICBM launch, which was the first full-range test of Kim Jong-un’s most powerful missiles since 2017 and suggested that the North has made significant progress in developing weapons capable of sending nuclear warheads anywhere in the US.

Biden is inspiring all the crazies.

How the Liberal-NDP deal could impact Conservative leadership race strategy

The possibility of having the next Conservative leader serve up to three years on the opposition benches before the next general election presents opportunities as well as challenges for leadership hopefuls, according to strategists.

With a Liberal-NDP deal in place until 2025, Conservative leadership contenders Pierre Poilievre and Jean Charest, in particular, might want to think twice before claiming they are “running for prime minister” or that they are “built to win” a majority government.

Ukraine demands unlimited NATO aid against Russia’s month-old war

A month since Russia launched its shock invasion, Ukraine’s leader pleaded Thursday for NATO to “save” his shattered country with unrestricted military aid, so its armed forces could transform their dogged defence into attack.

While Kyiv and Western intelligence report battlefield gains against the Russians, the vast scale of civilian suffering was made stark as the UN said more than half of all Ukraine’s children have been driven from their homes.

After urging global street protests to denounce the war, President Volodymyr Zelensky told NATO leaders that Russia had unleashed phosphorus bombs on Ukraine along with indiscriminate shelling of civilians.

‘Shame on you’: How President Zelensky uses speeches to get what he needs

While his army has fought tenaciously on the battlefields of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has waged an information war on the capitals of the Western world.

He’s addressed 10 parliaments in two weeks, receiving standing ovations everywhere.

Live by video link from a besieged capital, wearing a green t-shirt and sporting several days of stubble, he often signs off with a clenched fist salute. As applause rings out, he disappears. He’s a man in a hurry, after all, with truly existential matters to attend to.

How did we let lockdown happen?

Two years on from the UK’s first ‘stay at home’ order, we must vow to never shut down society again.

‘You must stay at home.’ Two years ago today, on 23 March 2020, prime minister Boris Johnson delivered that instruction to the British people, ushering in the first ever UK lockdown.

Lockdown may be fading from view right now, thanks in part to other, more pressing crises abroad. But as we learn to ‘move on’ from Covid, we cannot ever allow ourselves to think that such an extreme, extraordinary and cruel policy was ever normal or necessary.

Hunter Biden’s Controlled Explosion

The New York Times delayed the detonation of truth-bombs about the Bidens.

Oh, Hunter. You have to be pretty clueless to leave a computer full of compromising information in a computer repair store and never go back to pick it up. That only happened to me once, with an ex-girlfriend; she now has a family with the computer engineer. I imagine their kids’ names are Bytes, Backup, Java, and the like.

Can America and NATO Avoid a Broader War Over Ukraine?

Make no mistake. By supplying Ukraine with weapons, ammunition, and intelligence the United States and NATO are waging a proxy war against Russia. And in his speech to Congress, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky pulled on America’s heartstrings in a plea for Washington to “do more.” That is, to deepen U.S. involvement. But the United States and NATO already are pushing their support for Ukraine into a danger zone where the risk of a direct U.S./NATO confrontation with Russia is rising. At the same time, negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow suggest a diplomatic resolution of the war is within reach. It is to this effort to end the war that Washington’s energies should be focused.

Biden’s Israel Ambassador Tells BDS Group He Wants Jews Out of Jerusalem

“Your agenda is where my heart is.”

Biden’s ambassador to Israel appeared at a pro-BDS group’s webinar co-hosted by its CEO, who had described Israel as an “oppressive regime”, and told its audience that the real problem with the Palestinian Authority funding terrorism is that “it gives the ‘haters’ an excuse not to support the PA based on the argument that it is ‘paying for people who killed Jews.’”

He also told the anti-Israel group which had cheered the Ben & Jerry’s boycott that, “your agenda is where my heart is.”

The Covid-cautious are hungriest for war

There’s a strong correlation between a fear of Covid and a desire for open conflict

Risk calculus is a funny thing. According to a new poll, the Canadians most cautious about the risk of catching Covid-19 are also the most likely to support open war between Russia and the United States.

It wasn’t a big sample, but the results were stark.

Danger: Slippery slope…

American sisters died at Swiss assisted suicide clinic on February 11 – just 17 days after one put her $1m home in a family trust and a month before their brother learned of their deaths

An Arizona doctor and her nurse sister died at a Swiss suicide clinic on February 11 – with the physician transferring her $1 million home into a trust weeks before they took their lives.

Lila Ammouri and Susan Frazier’s date of death was shared with DailyMail.com Wednesday by a Swiss government source. The mole explained: ‘The two American ladies died on February 11.

‘It has been reported that they died later than this but this is not correct. It was the Friday in the Canton Basel-Landschaft by a legal assisted suicide.
