I have found the founding document of all the evils foisted on the world by Tony Bliar and Bill Cliton! The author, Robert Cooper was Bliar's adviser and amongst numerous jaw-dropping statements is this:

"The challenge to the postmodern world is to get used to the idea of double standards. Among ourselves, we operate on the basis of laws and open cooperative security. But when dealing with more old-fashioned kinds of states outside the postmodern continent of Europe, we need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary to deal with those who still live in the nineteenth century world of every state for itself. Among ourselves, we keep the law but when we are operating in the jungle, we must also use the laws of the jungle."

Since Mr Cooper is a citizen of the UK where people are locked up for thought crime presumably he is liable to a lengthy spell behind bars!

09/01/26 - Dmitry Medvedev

The year got off to a turbulent start.

1. Above all, its opening will be remembered for the abduction of Maduro. This, of course, was an utterly vile act of thuggery—or, to put it more elegantly, a full-blown catastrophe for international relations.
As things stand, there are only two possible scenarios. Either the United States quietly releases the kidnapped Venezuelan president under some face-saving pretext—which is unlikely—or he turns into the Latin American version of Nelson Mandela. The latter seems more probable. In that case, his name will be etched into South American history right alongside Bolívar, Miranda, and Chávez. And even if Trump, out of sheer stubbornness, refuses to pardon Maduro later, public pressure will almost certainly force Vance or another successor to do so. 
Yes, oil is the key factor here. But even with oil, nothing is simple. What if the current Venezuelan authorities don’t feel like sharing it with the gringos over the ...

The main thing about the Oreshnik strike is not the consequences of hitting the storage facilities.
The rocket flew through an underground gas storage facility in the Lvov region, not only in a non-nuclear version, but also without any explosives; i.e. it only relied on the kinetic energy of the impact of an accelerated supersonic rocket.

Again, the main thing here is not the consequences of this particular impact.

The main thing is that The Western Missile Attack Warning System (SPRN) and its air defenses in Ukraine not only failed to shoot down the Oreshnik, they failed to detect it.

This was the second use of Oreshnik and the second time complete blindness and helplessness were demonstrated. And that' WAS the point.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
