The former head of Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz, Andrij Koboljew, says that the explosives that blew up the pipelines in the Baltic got already mounted on the pipelines when it was build.

German sentimentality is merciless, and enforces its way with cruel determination to enforce its wellmeaningness on others. Its a deep-rooting receptivity for totalitarianism, disguised as collective solidarity - but this solidarity does not tolerate rejection and dissenters. The beginning of this self-deformation probably were the Prussian social order. I do not think Germans/y will ever be cured from this without eradicating "Germaness" from the history books. I also think the only thing the world can and should do is to indeed contain Germany, like political philosphers recommended already after WW1 and again after WW2. The looks of the crisdis in Europe today last but niot least have been fundamentally helped to shape up by Germany and its atottude to always knwo evertyhign better. "Am deutschen Wesen soll die Welt genesen" - thats a valid slogan, still. It has started to backfire against us. We have no right to complain over that.

The Kremlin says it is "stupid and absurd" to conclude that Russia was behind gas leaks on the Nord Stream pipelines to Europe.

The European Union has said the leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines from Russia to Europe were caused by sabotage - but did not directly accuse Russia.

Ukraine has gone further, accusing Russia of a "terrorist attack".

"It's quite predictable and also predictably stupid to give voice to these kinds of narratives - predictably stupid and absurd," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"This is a big problem for us because, firstly, both lines of Nord Stream 2 are filled with gas - the entire system is ready to pump gas and the gas is very expensive... Now the gas is flying off into the air," he said.

People should wait for findings from an investigation before drawing conclusions, Peskov added.
Oh no Jim,Was it Russia?They couldn't just shut valves off on their end.The Russian people are stupid and uneducated right. It took the rest of the world to run that pipe right? So the question is who was responsible for that section of pipe? Yes what country is responsible for the security of that pipe.Does a country have to have a billion dollar submarine hovering? Can't we all eat goats an fish.? And shiver in the coming winter. I bet Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his elite. If their not in the UK or US they certainly will not suffer a winter at all. Where are the reporters showing the rest of the world where they really are.Oh that's right he's only on the back lines with the rusted blown out tanks . Always asking for more money and equipment.And haven't the world seen this before.Just before the puppets get their asses kicked and they fly away. To live a good life .

Russia better not use nukes on Ukraine. The Russian people better wake up and pull their head out of their ass. There won't be any business as usual with Russians if this happens.

Thats why the Finnish have closed the border for Russians, they want the Russians to stay home and start attacking the regime instead of leaving and by that letting pressure out of the kettle. I saw a TV docu where several officials - border police, local administrators, but also ordinary people - explicitly said so.

However, if we establish a welcome culture for young men trying to flee from the war "service" they need to do in Russia, and this info makes the round in the Russian military, this again weakens Putin's effort to maintain the war and the neosovjet military. It could encourage more defections.

So there are arguments pro and contra, and good ones. I find this hard to call.

‘Don't expect good news' Putin humiliated as Russian media turn on mobilisation

Vladimir Putin has ordered 300,000 additional reserve troops to report for military training in order to boost invading forces on the frontline in Ukraine. The decision has already sparked huge public backlash within Russia, as families, in fear of being torn apart by mandatory military call-ups, have headed for escape via accessible land borders. While Kremlin-controlled media has remained fiercely supportive of the special military operation, acting to provide a shield of misinformation on the Russian military performance, the mobilisation has marked a notable shift in the presenters' attitude. Formerly unwilling to acknowledge any sign of Russian weakness in the conflict, the state media pundits have now warned citizens not to expect positive developments in the war over the coming weeks, despite the flood of mobilised reserve soldiers.

Speaking on state-controlled network Russia One, television host Vladimir Solovyov said: "In real life, I'd really like us to attack and take Kyiv tomorrow but I am aware that, for those 300,000 who are undergoing partial mobilisation, time is required for that.

"Time is required for their training, for their combat coordination, and for them to have everything they need for entering battle.

"This means that for a certain period of time, things won't be easy for us.

"Right now, we shouldn't be expecting good news. We need to possess 'long will' and strategic patience."

His declaration comes just days after Solovyov bashed the "idiot" Kremlin generals in charge of the partial mobilisation logistics.

Again, speaking on Russia One, Solovyov said: "Every idiot in those positions, who decided to call up a musician, or a person who has a million illnesses, or to approach a student despite the special decree explaining exemptions - such a person should not simply be punished, he should be the first to be sent to the frontlines."

His fiery speech came after reports emerged of individuals unfit or otherwise exempt from the military call-up received papers demanding they report for service.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has asserted the 300,000 men will be drawn from a select pool of well-trained men with prior military experience.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has asserted the 300,000 men will be drawn from a select pool of well-trained men with prior military experience.

In an unusual shift in Vladimir Putin's leadership style, the Russian President has himself acknowledged a shortfall in the organisation of the partial mobilisation scheme.

During a video conference with members of the Security Council, President Putin said: "A lot of questions are being raised during this mobilisation campaign, and we must promptly correct our mistakes and not repeat them in the future."

He added that there had been errors regarding some groups being pressured to report for mobilisation, including individuals with "chronic illnesses" or men already over the call-up age.

Vladimir Putin continued: "We need to deal with each case separately, and if a mistake has been made, I repeat, it must be corrected, and those who have been drafted without proper grounds must be sent home."

The Ministry of Defence declared: "Putin's unusually rapid acknowledgment of problems highlights the dysfunction of the mobilisation over its first week.

"Local officials are likely unclear on the exact scope and legal rationale of the campaign. They have almost certainly drafted some personnel who are outside the definitions claimed by Putin and the Ministry of Defence."

Solovyov's doubt surrounding the partial mobilisation effort comes as the Russian military was forced to withdraw from the strategically important town of Lyman in Donetsk.

Some of the troops operating in Lyman were suggested to have been voluntarily mobilised units that suffered heavy casualties during the withdrawal, according to an intelligence report from the UK Government.

The retreat has sparked further criticism of the Russian military performance given that the Kremlin had announced plans to formally annex both the Donetsk and Luhansk areas of the Donbas region.

The decision to abandon Lyman undermines the Kremlin's efforts to legitimise their claim to the region through a series of recently concluded pseudo-referendums.

Peskov on Ukraine’s refusal to negotiate with Putin: "We will wait for change in position of Zelensky or future president of Ukraine"

Putin’s spokesman Dmytro Peskov commented on the NSDC’s decision on the impossibility of negotiations with Putin.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the propaganda publication RIA Novosti.

"We will wait for a change in the position of Zelensky or the future president of Ukraine," he said.

It will be recalled that earlier Zelensky approved the NSDC's decision on the "impossibility of negotiations" with Putin. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3371402

"They were beaten. They were not fed. They were tied to the ceiling. Girls’ nails were torn off and they were raped. Boys were wound with wires on their genitals", - war crimes of the Russian occupiers in Kozacha Lopan. VIDEO

The occupiers from Russia turned the center of Kozacha Lopan into a place of torture and horror. Hundreds of Ukrainian citizens went through these basements and inhumane tests.

As reported by Censor.NET with reference to the Eastern Operational-Territorial Association of NSU, Guardsman Andrii, who is on duty in de-occupied Kozacha Lopan, spoke about the war crimes of the occupiers almost every day. He has to communicate a lot with the local population. He heard many testimonies about the terrorist regime established by the invaders in the village.

"Here is this basement. The Russians kept and tortured people in it. There is another building. Interrogations were also held there. There we found a TA-57 phone, the so-called "tapik" used for torture - it turns on, terminals are attached to the body, and it is electrocuting. There were civilians, prisoners of war, and soldiers from the army," Andrii said.

The enemy in the same basement did not hesitate to use drugs and alcohol, eat, have fun, etc. This information is also confirmed by representatives of local self-government bodies. Moreover, there were several such places only in Kozacha Lopan.

"Many young girls were raped by the invaders. They made a basement for torture. Our volunteers were thrown there. They were killed. They were not fed. They were tied to the ceiling. Girls' nails were torn off. The boys' genitals were wound with wires. Our city council deputy passed through this basement. His teeth were knocked out, his ribs were broken. He was taken to Russia. According to the latest information, he was tried, but he is in a Russian prison," says the head of the Derhachy territorial community, Viacheslav Zadorenko.

He added that the Russians intimidated the parents and forced them to write orders to take the children to health camps.

The Russian invaders also constantly satisfied their mercantile needs at the expense of the local population. Collaborators often helped him in this.

"Russian looters - five men with machine guns came: "Grandfather, open the shed!" I said: "What did you forget there?" And they said: "Open it, we told you! Bring out the Yamaha scooter. And I tell him that it's not mine, I'm eighty years old and I don't have the strength to carry it all. So they rolled it out themselves. I barely restrained myself from hitting him, because he has a machine gun, and before that he wanted to shoot the dog," said local resident Anatoliy Poltorachenko.

Here's an idea.
Next time, don't invade another country based only on a whim.

Russia will be looking up to North Korea for quite some time, possibly for generations. Doing invasions at the drop of a hat and using threats of dropping nukes isn't good for business.

Default Future of Russia; There is no future

The world needs to stop with this Woke sentiment that somehow this is the work of one crazy maniac (Putin) and all those poor Russians suffer under his regime. The vast majority of Russians support their leader and the war on Ukraine.

The only solution to this conflict is the complete breakup of Russia. Divide the land between semi-reliable Chinese interests, Saudi partners and create a Greater European Union. I think countries like Germany, Poland and Ukraine should be given large tracts of Russian land and access to a free Russian labor force to compensate for the burdens placed on these nations.

This all sounds very harsh, and I certainly don't mean to offend. Putin is threatening nuclear war.


When a man shows his true self, believe him.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, there is a LOT of political and economic hay to be made.

There are countries more than ready to sell energy (Oil, gas, petroleum, nuke power, etc.) to Europe.

That old imitative for Russia to develop the Artic for global trade sounds (now) like its wasted money.
