Why #Russia will never attack the #EU:

I know there is a lot of #military and patriotic #propaganda out there and the military industrial complex is on the rise because everyone wants to arm themselves because of the Russian #threat.

Let's pause for a moment and think about the reasons why #war is still being waged today:

1) The number one reason is still #religion. Religion serves to unite one's own #community, but is also always a demarcation against others. In Europe and Russia, religion only plays a subordinate role and the churches are struggling with insignificance.

2) The second important reason is natural #resources. Western Europe has long since used up its natural resources and is therefore plundering other countries, mainly in #Africa. Russia has enough natural resources of its own.

3) Population growth so that new living spaces are needed. In #Europe and #Russia, the #population is declining. As a result, many families only have one child and they don't want to lose it to the war.

4) Important geostrategic positions. Europe is losing importance. Russia's most important trading partners are in #Asia. Europe is strategically insignificant.

Europe is increasingly losing importance and therefore wants to feel important militarily. For Russia, an attack would bring no advantage and only high losses. Russia can infiltrate the weakened political system in Europe much more easily by manipulating elections and causing social unrest with propaganda. This hybrid warfare is much more successful than an open war.

In Farsi, we call the ostrich for Shotor-Morqh (شتر مرغ)which literally means Camel-Chicken, and there a saying about people who act like Israel:

  • They asked the ostrich to lay egg, and it said I am a camel (shotor شتر)
  • They asked it to carry a load, and it said I am a chicken (morgh مرغ)

This is the case with Israel, they are Europeans when it fits them and indigenous to Palestine since their god said they are.

PS. I know the poor Israel was kicked out of the Asian Cup and could not play in their and Europe gave them a chance to be part of the "civilized world" as they say.

#MountKailash, located in the remote western region of #Tibet, is one of the world's most revered and mysterious mountains.

Standing at an elevation of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), this striking peak is uniquely shaped with four steep faces that resemble a pyramid, making it visually distinct from other mountains in the #Himalayas. What makes Mount #Kailash so special, however, isn’t just its dramatic appearance but its profound spiritual and cultural significance across multiple religions.

#Sacred Significance
Mount Kailash is considered a sacred site in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the ancient Bon religion. In Hinduism, it is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva, where he resides with his consort, Parvati, in a state of perpetual meditation. Devotees believe that Mount Kailash is the center of the universe and a direct connection between heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, Mount Kailash is seen as the home of Demchok (or Chakrasamvara), a deity representing #supreme #bliss.

Pilgrims believe that completing a kora, or a circumambulation, of the mountain brings good karma and purifies the soul. Tibetan Buddhists undertake this kora in a clockwise direction, while Bon followers circle it counterclockwise.

For #Jains, Mount Kailash is known as Ashtapada, the place where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, achieved spiritual #liberation. In the #Bon religion, Mount Kailash is regarded as the seat of the #Sky #Goddess #Sipaimen and a place of immense power.

Pilgrimage and Kora
Every year, pilgrims from around the world travel to Mount Kailash for the challenging kora, a 52-kilometer (32-mile) circumambulation around the mountain. This journey, often done at an altitude of over 4,500 meters (14,764 feet), is believed to be a transformative spiritual experience. Completing just one kora is thought to cleanse negative karma, while completing 108 koras is believed to lead to enlightenment.

Geographical and Environmental Importance
Mount Kailash is the source of some of #Asia's most important #rivers, including the #Indus, #Sutlej, #Brahmaputra, and #Karnali (a major tributary of the #Ganges). These rivers are vital water sources for millions of people across South Asia. The region around Kailash is also rich in unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh Tibetan Plateau environment.

Forbidden Peak
Climbing Mount Kailash is strictly forbidden out of respect for its spiritual sanctity. Over the years, climbers and explorers have requested permission to ascend, but the mountain remains off-limits. This restriction has preserved its natural state and mystique, as no human has set foot on its summit.

A Place of Mystery
Mount Kailash is shrouded in mystery and local legends, including tales of rapid aging for those who attempt to climb it, and reports of an unusual energy field around it. The mountain has a pyramidal shape, which some believe may be an ancient man-made structure or a center of #cosmic #energy.

Conclusion
Mount Kailash stands as a powerful symbol of #peace, reverence, and spiritual aspiration. Its allure lies not only in its beauty but in its status as an untouched spiritual beacon, attracting pilgrims, #mystics, and adventurers from around the world. For those who witness its grandeur, Mount Kailash is more than a mountain—it’s a deeply sacred place that inspires humility, awe, and spiritual reflection.

The #BRICS leaders attended an informal dinner party.

Russia is holding a BRICS meeting with surprise visitors El Sisi of #Egypt and so called president of #Palestine Mohamed Abbas. Even #Turkey and #NorthKorea have sent delegates to the meeting and several African nations have also shown interest in joining the system. It is unclear if they announce any new members after this meeting, but it sure going to have a major impact on #dedolirization of the world economy.

The criminal reaction of Europe and US to freeze and confiscate assets of Russian citizens, not just state funds have woken up the world that they can't trust the west following their own rules and relying on them is nothing but a false feeling of safety.

One can cruise the origin of those frozen assets, but they are not much different than most of the wealth of criminal leaders of various countries who live a safe and protected life in #Europe and #US.

Does the world has a 100 years cycle for fascism and stupidity taking over the nations?

Most countries turning into full fascist states and our democratic values being destroyed, one by one in every corner of the planet.

The nuclear powered nation of India turning fascist should be an alarm for everyone in the world. But sadly we are driven by for profit corporations rather than political leaders and India is one of the key nations in their plans to dominate the world economics. No matter how extreme right it turns.

The Vampire Ball is Over

We may also speak of a “blood orgy.”

#RT:

The #era of #Western #elites being able to #exploit other #nations and other #peoples across the #world is coming to an #end, Russian President #VladimirPutin said in an exclusive interview published by Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

The president stated that over the past few centuries, the so-called “golden billion” has grown accustomed to being able to “fill their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money” as they have been “parasitizing” other peoples in #Africa, #Asia, and #LatinAmerica.

”But they must understand that the vampire ball is ending,” #Putin said.

He added that the citizens of the aforementioned regions, which have been continuously exploited by the West over the past 500 years, have started to associate #Russia’s #struggle for #sovereignty with “their own aspirations for sovereignty and independent development.”

That is definitely happening.

It might even be the single most important upshot of the #Ukraine war, when we look back on it in history.

Russia has become the standard bearer of #resistance against the #EvilEmpire...

#ISIS haa stepped up their disgusting criminal activities in the shadows of #Israel, #US, #UK and Europe war with axis of resistance.

The emboldened ISIS is gaining power and popularity in most places in west #Asia and north and central Africa.

It's really sad and upsetting to see that once again (just like Obama's time) these extremists are surging while the US is bombing and killing the people who defeated them last time in #Yemen, #Iraq and #Syria to safeguard the ongoing genocide in #Gaza and their illegal and immoral occupation in Syria and Iraq.

Explosive kills school children in north-east #Nigeria

At least six people, some of them school children, have been killed in north-east Nigeria by an explosive device which they had mistaken for scrap metal.

Police and local officials in Borno state said the blast occurred in a building at an Islamic school on Saturday.

Reports say pupils often collect and sell the metal to local communities.

Despite a ban on the practice, scavenging for scrap is still common in the area, which is plagued by Islamist violence.
