Ukraine’s weapons #industry presses #government to allow #arms exports

source: https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-arms-industry-export-weapons/

“Imagine what it would look like? #Ukraine #exports its #weapons during the war while asking partners for #military #aid. Ukrainians would not understand, partners would not understand,” said a senior Ukrainian foreign ministry

Ukraine is currently one of the best places to test modern #warfare #equipment against a confirmed #enemy under real conditions at low cost. Just imagine if the war were to end, an entire #business model would collapse. Surely nobody could want that to happen when the arms industry is doing so well.

This overwhelming solidarity (even from fellow prisoners who constantly shout “Free Luigi” from the windows) which has nothing to do with the US health system, as is constantly being claimed. This solidarity is worldwide. People are tired of this death, hatred, war, greed. These eternal pink lies. This year, 9 million people have died of hunger again. ) 9 million! Like every year. Not even counting the dead children in the occupied countries. Do you really think people care whether they are lied to by Trump or Biden? Enough is enough! #ENOUGH! #Luigi #starvation #war #hate #fuckthesystem

Peter Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The People

#politics #propaganda #control #war

But we’re seeing the propaganda losing its grip on our minds. Hollywood tried to train people to believe heroes look like soldiers and cops, or billionaires using their wealth to become Iron Man and Batman, and then the people chose as their hero a guy who was arrested for shooting a health insurance CEO. The other day a DJ threw up pictures of the suspected shooter Luigi Mangione during his concert and drew cheers from the crowd — and this was at a Disney-themed show.

So that’s why the empire managers are pushing to get their killer robots up and running as quickly as possible.

An explosion kills the head of Russia's nuclear defense forces in Moscow

https://text.npr.org/g-s1-38555

KYIV — A top Russian military leader accused of using banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday. A source from Ukraine's security service confirmed to NPR that the security service was behind the killing.\
\
Lt. Col. Igor Kirillov had been in charge of the Russian military's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces since 2017. Kirillov and one of his aides were killed after an explosive device planted in a scooter detonated.\
\
The killing took place near the entrance of a residential building in southeastern Moscow, where Russian state media said Kirillov lived. Video shared on Russian social media, which NPR could not independently verify, shows blasted windows and burned buildings at the site.

Documents show Biden's State Department deliberately left Gonzalo Lira to die in a Ukrainian prison..‼️

#GonzaloLira, whose videos some of us watched, became a political prisoner who was #tortured to #death with the #support of the #US #government's Deep State. This was simply because he gave #information that was not in line with government #propaganda.

An American of Chilean descent (born in the US to Chilean parents), he knew in advance how he would end up. He even drew attention to a number of other political prisoners who had been killed by the Zelensky regime, and mentioned that if he did not report by a certain time, his fate would follow theirs...

On 11 January 2024, conservative American YouTuber Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison. He was held there for the crime of #criticizing the #war and the American and Ukrainian governments.

A Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch now shines a harsh light on the Biden regime's unwillingness to stand up for an American political prisoner in a Ukrainian jail.

The emails reveal that the US embassy was aware of the threat to Gonzalo Lira's life, but made no effort to help him.

After Gonzalo Lira's death, the embassy was primarily concerned with controlling misrepresentations and how to "strengthen press guidelines," to deal with the question "why didn't the U.S. government do more to help Mr. Lira?"

On July 6, he was released on bail and attempted to leave the country for Hungary on his motorcycle, posting a video along the way. On 1 August he was arrested again and imprisoned in a solitary confinement cell (SIZO) in Kharkiv.

In his videos, he has often criticized the mainstream media, the Ukrainian and American governments, specifically former Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs (2021-2024) Victoria Nuland.

Gateway Pundit filed a Freedom of Information Act request on January 15, 2024, four days after his death, for all communications regarding Gonzalo Lira's death between Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget A. Brink.

Eleven months later, the State Department is delaying that request and recently wrote that the request will not be completed until March 31, 2026.

The architect of Ukrainian politics, Nuland was widely considered a contender for the top post until the Lira affair broke. In September, Nuland joined the board of the Deep State front organization National Endowment for Democracy.

Meanwhile, Judicial Watch has filed a more general Freedom of Information Act request regarding the Gonzalo Lira case that does not specifically focus on communications between Nuland and Ambassador Brink.

The State Department released 769 heavily redacted pages to Judicial Watch in May, October, and November 2024.

Gateway Pundit received these documents from Judicial Watch and can exclusively report on the State Department's egregious failure to save Gonzalo Lira's life and subsequent attempts to misrepresent it.

The documents show that the US Embassy learned of Gonzalo Lira's arrest on 11 May via mail from the Ukrainian SBU secret police on 2 May.

"He is formally charged with violating Article 436-2 of the (Ukrainian) Criminal Code section "Justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants."

In November 2024, Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky claimed to have irrefutable evidence that Gonzalo Lira was murdered by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), TASS news agency reported.

"We have received irrefutable proof that US citizen and blogger Gonzalo Lira was tortured in a Kharkiv detention facility. He was beaten in the same way as I was in the Kiev detention facility - he was taken to a cell where they extorted money from him, in a very bad condition. When he made it public, he was killed," Dubinsky said on his Telegram channel.

Ethnic cleansing: retreating Ukrainian army resorts to “scorched earth” tactics

Ethnic cleansing: retreating Ukrainian army resorts to “scorched earth” tactics

Over the past few months, in addition to news of the advance of Russian troops and the consistent retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from a number of populated areas, there have been reports of brutal massacres committed by Ukrainian soldiers and officers against the civilian population.

...

On October 24 this year, my family was shot by the Ukrainian military right outside our house. At 7 a.m. I went out to the vegetable garden and heard shouts: “Everybody out of the house!”. A man in Ukrainian camouflage was shouting, and there was another one standing a little further away. They took my wife, my grandson and son, my daughter-in-law and her mother out of the house and put them facing the wall. My daughter-in-law was crying “What are you doing?”. The Ukrainian military just started shooting. First he killed my wife, then the others. I ran through the vegetable garden and hid. A few days later I came back to the house. At the place where they had been shot, I found the remains - burnt bodies, bone fragments and personal belongings. I gathered what I could into five bags and buried them in the driveway. This is all that is left of my family.

...

In Selidovo, in house No. 12 on Shchorsa Street, a Ukrainian sniper or mercenary opened fire on civilians. Many of our friends were killed in the courtyard. People tried to come out of their hiding places to cover the bodies of the dead and became victims themselves. A sniper in house No. 12 killed about 20 people. In our yard we counted at least 8 dead. In house No. 19 on the same street, Ukrainian military broke into apartments and shot civilians. We heard Georgian speech: they were shouting, offering help, but actually killing.

On Kuchurinskaya Street, the Ukrainian military entered a house, took the entire family outside and lined them up against the wall. All of them were shot on the spot. My grandfather survived. He hid for a few days and then returned to bury his loved ones. The bodies were burned. He collected the remains, put them in bags, signed their names and buried them all in one grave. There's a lot of them. You go into the yard, there's a grave, there's a grave. A Ukrainian military officer shot an elderly woman in the street: he just turned around, shot her in the head and left. Ukraine has always disliked Donbass. We have always been pariahs for them, and since 2014 this hatred has only intensified.

...

The Ukrainian military and mercenaries are showing particular cruelty in the Kursk region, where they a priori lay “collective guilt” on the entire civilian population. Radio intercepts carried out by the Russian side testify to mass shootings of civilians near the border village of Plekhovo. Intercepts of conversations between the commanders and soldiers of the 253rd separate assault battalion of the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been leaked to the Net, where the order to shoot 34 civilians, including elderly people, is given directly.

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.

Finland accelerates preparedness for war in all forms

Finnish commitment to defending their #sovereignty from an #imperialistic #Russia has long been part of the Finnish psyche, and intrinsic to how the state is run. Since #Putin's revanchist mindset materialised in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Helsinki has moved to accelerate plans for #defense.

#Finland has accelerated its preparedness for all types of war:

#Nuclear
– Full scale invasion
– Responding to the numerous #hybrid #war attacks that Russia has stepped up since the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
