WHO: Monkeypox Is ‘Side Effect’ of Covid ‘Vaccine’ - if one would have read the side effects posted by the FDA several years back you would have seen that one of the side effects of the COVID bio weapon was an autoimmune blistering disease. I personally do not believe we are seeing monkey pox at all. I believe we are seeing the side affect from the COVID bio weapon and have since they first started talking about monkey pox. I believe they are calling it monkey pox to get yet another jab into your arm. At this point any person for any reason that takes any injection truly needs prayer - ARTICLE

Look at pdf Page 31 of this study on the side effects of the COVID bio weapon. While you are at look at the list. It starts on pdf Page 20 and goes to the end of the report. n

During the debate with Trump, Harris made all the rules and they did not include Trump on the plan. She was caught using pearl earring ear phones. She also got the debate questions, told them what questions they could not ask her and that they were to fact-check Trump but not her. NOW in a supposed spontaneous town hall she is using the teleprompter. This means the audience was picked and given the questions to ask and she had the answers on a teleprompter. This woman is not capable of telling the truth. Everything out of her mouth is a lie. 13 sec. VIDEO

This was written and sent to me by a very reliable source and trusted friend

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed on December 8, 1987 by US President Reagan and Soviet Union General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. Earlier that year, in March, Gorbachev had infuriated the Soviet military by proposing a "Global Zero" policy for INF weapons — a universal ban on all such weapons. The Soviet economy at that time was almost entirely dependent on military spending. Gorbachev, with his reform program of perestroika (restructuring), wanted to change that.

Ronald Reagan was agreeable to a ban on new intermediate-range nuclear weapons, and he and Gorbachev worked out the deal, which allowed for compliance inspections in places that were formerly off-limits and top-secret.

32 years later, on August 2, 2019, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty. Who was President of the United States when that was done?

Within two weeks of that withdrawal, the US announced it was planning to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Asia, which would have been a violation of the INF. The timing makes it almost a certainty that this was the goal of the US all along.

Despite this, Russia announced at the time that it would continue to honor the terms of the treaty, even after the US withdrew from the treaty, as long as the US did not deploy such weapons in Europe, a pledge made by Russia's President and a pledge that Russia kept. 

In October 2019, 5 years ago, after the US moved intermediate range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads into Eastern Europe, Russia announced that it would no longer (voluntarily) adhere to the terms of the INF treaty.

Three months (July 2024), the United States announced plans to deploy intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Germany in 2026. Russia responded by saying it has no plans to deploy any intermediate-range nuclear weapons, but that the aggressive actions of the US has made it necessary for Russia to begin planning a defense.

We're back to the 1980's. We're back to forty years ago. Russia did not initiate this new "arms race".

Germans concerned over deployment of new US missiles

For the first time since the 1980s, Berlin agreed to host three types of US missiles on its territory starting in 2026, but the move thrilled Germans, according to Responsible Statecraft.

An agreement between Washington and Berlin at the NATO anniversary summit in July calls for the deployment of The Tomahawk Block 4 cruise missile, with a range of just over 1,000 miles; the Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) for defence, with a range of 230 miles; and the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHP) under development, with a projected range of over 1,800 miles.

Two of these missiles will be able to strike deep into Russia and reach Moscow. They are conventionally armed, but capable of carrying nuclear weapons. However, the agreement did not mention whether Germany would have any control over the missiles on its territory.

The deployment of Tomahawks and LRHPs also violates the Intermediate-Range Nuclear (INF) Treaty of 1987. The agreement prohibits the deployment of land-based missiles with a range of 500 to 5,000 kilometres (310 to 3,400 miles). However, in 2019, the Trump administration withdrew from INF and Russia suspended its compliance.

The German government’s latest agreement to deploy the new missiles was made without prior discussion in the Bundestag (German parliament) or any prior national debate. Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party, the largest party in the ruling coalition, is split on the issue.

Most foreign policy representatives are in favour, whereas the national-oriented Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) strongly oppose the move. According to the latest poll, 49 per cent oppose the missiles and 45 per cent are in favour. In eastern Germany, however, the percentage of those opposed to the treaty rises to 74 per cent.

What bothers Germans

Today, the Russian government has neither the intention nor the capability to launch a deliberate conventional attack on NATO. However, there is still an acute risk that an unplanned mutual escalation could lead to war.

The only reasonable purpose for authorising the deployment of Tomahawks and hypersonic missiles in Germany is to offer to abandon them again as part of a new nuclear arms reduction agreement with Russia. An agreement in which the US cancels the planned new missile deployment in Germany in exchange for Russia withdrawing its missiles based in Kaliningrad and Belarus would be of enormous benefit to Germany, Europe and the rest of the world.

The US withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 2001 was followed by the deployment of US systems in Poland and the Czech Republic with the blatantly false claim that this was not directed against Russia, but rather against a hypothetical threat from Iran, Responsible Statecraft noted. Moscow threatened to respond by deploying new intermediate missiles, and did so while claiming to stay only within the INF framework.

As a result, Europe now has no missile limitation agreements at all, whereas not only is war raging in Ukraine, but Washington is considering bowing to pressure from Ukraine and the UK to allow the launch of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles deep into Russia.

Thus, the deployment of US missiles in Germany suggests that Washington is actively considering helping to launch US-made Ukrainian missiles at Russia. Russian intermediate missiles could hit Germany but not the US, whereas Berlin would have no control over US missiles on its territory. This raises concerns in the minds of many Germans.

The US suspended its compliance with the INF Treaty on 2 February 2019 following an announcement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo the day prior. In a statement, Trump said there was a six-month timeline for full withdrawal and INF Treaty termination if the Russian Federation did not come back into compliance within that period.

The same day, Putin announced that Russia had also suspended the INF Treaty in a 'mirror response' to Trump's decision, effective that day.

INF Treaty = Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

The US declared its intention to withdraw from the treaty on 20 October 2018, citing the previous violations of the treaty by Russia.

This prompted Putin to state that Russia would not launch first in a nuclear conflict but would "annihilate" any adversary, essentially re-stating the policy of "Mutually Assured Destruction". 

Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would result in the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.

The result is nuclear peace, in which the presence of nuclear weapons decreases the risk of crisis escalation, since parties will seek to avoid situations that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. Proponents of nuclear peace theory therefore believe that controlled nuclear proliferation may be beneficial for global stability. 

The doctrine further assumes that neither side will dare to launch a first strike because the other side would launch on warning (also called fail-deadly) or with surviving forces (a second strike), resulting in unacceptable losses for both parties. The payoff of the MAD doctrine was and still is expected to be a tense but stable global peace.

👉🏻 So, check this… the declaration was made in October 2018… which was 3 months after Vladimir Putin handed President Trump the soccer ball in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16, 2018.

Now read it again and apply what President Trump says ALL-the-time:

“I will prevent World War III.”

“I will prevent Nuclear War.”

MAD = nuclear peace.

All planned. All in Laws and Orders.

Trust the Man with the Plan and you can trust the Plan. 🎯😎🐂🇺🇸

Ukraine war live updates: Biden says ‘Kyiv stands strong;’ Putin suspends nuclear arms treaty with U.S.

In a new escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday that he was suspending the country's participation in a key nuclear arms treaty with the United States. This decision comes amid renewed violence in Ukraine, where fighting between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists has intensified in recent weeks. The announcement by Putin came just hours after U.S. President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reaffirming the United States' support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. In a statement released after the call, Biden said that "Kyiv stands strong" and that the United States would continue to support Ukraine in its efforts to defend itself. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which was signed in 1987, banned the development, production, and deployment of ground-launched nuclear missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. The treaty was considered a major milestone in the effort to reduce the risk of nuclear war, and its suspension by Russia raises concerns about a new arms race between the two countries. The move by Putin to suspend the treaty comes just days after Russian troops were seen massing near the border with Ukraine, fueling fears of a new military offensive. In response, the United States and its European allies have expressed their support for Ukraine, with Biden vowing to take "strong action" in the event of any further Russian aggression. The situation in Ukraine remains tense, with reports of continued fighting and casualties on both sides. The United Nations has called for an immediate end to the violence and for all parties to return to the negotiating table to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. The conflict in Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and a pro-Russian separatist rebellion broke out in eastern Ukraine. The conflict has since claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions of people. Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in 2015, sporadic fighting has continued, with both sides accusing the other of violating the agreement. The latest developments in the conflict highlight the fragile state of relations between Russia and the West, and the ongoing challenges in finding a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ukraine.

Withdrawal Symptoms

Some Republicans are taking advantage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to score political points by trying to blame President Biden for it. Donald Trump is among the loudest of President Biden's detractors. So let's look at who allowed Putin free rein, shall we?

When Trump took office in January 2017, exactly three arms-related treaties existed between the United States and Russia:

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which bans all nuclear and non-nuclear missiles with short and medium ranges except sea-launched weapons, and also allows the U.S. and Russia the right to inspect each other's installations. The United States signed INF in 1987, under then-President Ronald Reagan.

The Open Skies Treaty, which allows nations to fly over each other's territory with elaborate sensor equipment, to collect military data and other intelligence on neighboring foreign enemies and to assure that they are not preparing for military action. The United States signed Open Skies in 2002, under then-President George W. Bush.

The New START Treaty, which caps deployment of nuclear warheads. The United States signed New START in 2010, under then-President Barrack Obama.

Trump showed right away that he was not interested in preserving these or any other curbs on Russian aggression:

In February of 2017, during Trump's very first telephone call with Putin, Putin brought up extending New START beyond its February 2021 expiration date. Trump had to pause to ask some advisors what New START was. Upon learning that it was from the Obama administration, Trump immediately denounced it as a terrible treaty and said he doubted he would extend it.

The very next day, Russia launched Russia’s largest offensive in Ukraine in months. Trump did nothing.

In January of 2018, Trump announced that he would not impose the sanctions on Russia that Congress had ordered (and Trump himself had signed into law) for Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.

In April of 2018, Trump announced that he would not impose sanctions on Russia for enabling Bashar al-Assad of Syria to use chemical weapons against his own people.

In June of 2018, Trump pushed the G-7 to readmit Russia, which it had expelled for invading and annexing Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula back in 2014. Trump also declared that Crimea belonged to Russia (echoing declarations that he made as a candidate in August of 2016).

In April of 2019, Trump withdrew from the U.N.'s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which sets global standards for regulating transfers of conventional arms, from rifles to tanks and airplanes. (Note that Russia was not a party to this treaty.)

In August of 2019, Trump accused Russia of violating the INF and unilaterally withdrew from it.

In May of 2020, Trump announced that the United States would unilaterally withdraw from Open Skies in six months. Trump's withdrawal took effect in November of 2020.

Presumably Trump would have allowed New START to expire on February 5, 2021, as he indicated he would. Fortunately, President Biden took office on January 20, a mere 16 days before the treaty expired. The parties agreed to extend New START on February 3.

Given Trump's consistently fawning attitude towards Putin throughout his term of office, it is unsurprising that he did his best to remove as many restrictions on Russia as he could. It is equally unsurprising that, having enabled Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump is now blaming Biden for his own actions.

Recounting 'Seven Sins' of the US' Alliance System

— Bu Wuwen | June 4, 2021 | Global Times

Illustration: Liu Rui/GT

Alliance is the evil weapon of hegemony. This is a common consensus reached among most countries, and one of the founding missions of the United States of America.

George Washington, the founding father of the United States of America, had repeatedly warned the American people to prevent the country from copying its European allies' pursuit of hegemony. In his farewell address in September 1796, Washington reinforced the idea that it was their 'true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."

The US, driven by its irresistible greed for power, is now ironically what its founding father forewarned of and the world abominates. American geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski declared that the supremacy of the US in the world is supported by a fine system of alliances that covers the whole world.

The US is now desperate to find its few remaining nickles, being the over-spender it is, after being struck by financial crises and the COVID-19 pandemic. As an incurable addict of hegemony, the US cast its eyes on its allies. The US has created a gang out of the alliance system, whose trail is full of partisanship and fratricide.

We shall now recount the seven sins of this gang. '7 sins' of the US' Alliance System Infographic: Wu Tiantong — Global Times

1. Concealment

Those who chase profits are often entangled together — Old Chinese saying

Japan has recently declared that it would directly discharge the radioactive wastewater from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean, which has raised worldwide concern. Surprisingly, the US, a self-proclaimed shining beacon of environmental protection, human rights, and justice, betrayed Asian-Pacific countries and the Earth, and expressed "appreciation" in response to Japan's decision, exposing its hypocrisy.

None of this comes as a surprise. The US was always known for its double standards, where fairness and justice are nothing more than arbitrary fig leaves.

In Sharpeville of South Africa, during the apartheid era, the government opened fire on black demonstrators, killing 69 of them in the Sharpeville Massacre. In order to contain the former Soviet Union's influence in the Third World, the US could not accept losing an anti-communist ally. In the end, the "leader of the free world" cravenly defended the all-white government in South Africa without hesitation.

In fact, the standard criteria for the US' decision-making process are ideological confrontation and geopolitical interests. To serve its purpose, it stages nasty Faustian deals at any cost; it sells its soul to the devil in exchange for its gains.

2. Lying

We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment. - Michael Pompeo

In the past two decades alone, the US-led Multinational Coalition and Coalition of the Willing caused countless tragedies by fabricating lies.

Using a tube of detergent as evidence of weapons of mass destruction, the US launched the Iraq War that killed 250,000 civilians in the Gulf country. Jessica Lynch, a female private in the US Army was injured in the war and saved by Iraqi medics. CNN, however, falsified the story and said that Lynch was tortured as a prisoner in Iraq, and was a witness for human rights abuses. In 2007, Lynch testified in a congressional hearing that the US Army made false claims about her capture.

A decade later, the US replicated the Iraq lie. It fabricated footages of Syria using chemical weapons on civilians, which was a convenient excuse for the US to launch air raids on another country. From 2016 to 2019, the recorded number of civilian deaths in Syria was 33,584. Half of the 3,833 victims killed by bombs dropped by the US-led coalition were women and children.

Fortunately, the truth is beginning to reveal itself. Recently Vice President Kamala Harris blurted out: "You know for years and generations wars have been fought over oil." This matches the American magazine Foreign Policy's comment that "safeguarding human rights" isn't the driving force for US' external warfare, but a means to seek interests.

Hegemony monopolizes absolute power and dehumanizes the US into moral bankruptcy. The historically flaunted promised land of progression and idealism has now fallen. All is lost.

— Wu Tiantong | June 4, 2021

3. Violence

The Americans of the United States have achieved this double result with a marvelous ease, calmly, legally, philanthropically, without shedding blood, without violating a single one of the great principles of morality in the eyes of the world. You cannot destroy men while better respecting the laws of humanity. - Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville

Hegemony is by nature coldblooded. Throughout its 245 years of history, the Americans enjoyed as few as 16 years without war. From the end of WWII to 2001, the world had seen 248 armed conflicts in 153 regions, and 201 of them were started by the US.

In 1989, the US invaded Panama to depose the de facto Panamanian leader. In 1999, the US-led NATO forces, without authorization from the United Nations Security Council, bombarded the former Yugoslavia and "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy, killing three Chinese journalists. Since 2001, the US has started wars or military actions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, leaving more than 800,000 dead and tens of millions of refugees.

The US military dragged its allies to wars that caused unprecedented refugee crises. Statistically, the number of refugees reached 11 million in Afghanistan, 380,000 in Pakistan, 3.25 million in Iraq and 12.59 million in Syria. About 1.3 million Afghans went to Pakistan and 900,000 to Iran. Of the Iraqi and Syrian refugees, about 3.5 million fled to Turkey and 1 million to Iran.

The US military always hit the headlines for its ruthless prisoner abuses. In addition, Australia proved to be a reliable lackey, allowing its soldiers to slaughter civilians in Afghanistan.

4. Plunder

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do. - Samuel P. Huntington

In the US' alliance system, war is the most immediate way to plunder. The US, the world's top war machine, writes the word "plunder" on every page of its history of more than 200 years.

Dwight D. Eisenhower concluded his presidential term by warning the US about the increasing power of the military-industry complex. Michael Brenes, professor of history at Yale University, in his To Defeat the Radical Right, End American Empire pointed out that the American military has long been fertile ground for the far right and they together built the warfare state.

After unpegging the US dollar from gold in 1971, the US shaped a USA-US military-US dollar trinity to support its hegemony. In collaboration with its allies, the US grabbed control over the oil resources in the Middle East to prevent its dollar hegemony from falling apart, and also opened the door to plunder the region's wealth.

The US profits from every global crisis, such as from the crises in Russia and Eastern Europe when the former Soviet Union collapsed; from the Balkan Peninsula when the former Yugoslavia broke up; from the Four Asian Tigers and Southeast Asia during the Asian Financial Crisis. During the 2008 financial crisis, the whole world had to pay the American debt. Now, the US has brought out a $1.9 trillion stimulus package which, in fact, means massive amounts of banknotes will be issued to tamp down the exchange rates of foreign currencies, and consequently take advantage of the rest of the world.

Relying on its financial hegemony, the US has robbed tens of trillions of dollars from other countries. The victims, though filled with anger, are so afraid of the American military alliance which is armed to the teeth, that most of them choose to keep silent.

5. Infringement

The judicial system leaves you no room to have faith in it. It's like peeling layers and layers of onion skin. Every layer that you peel, your eyes get more teary to the point where you can't peel anymore because your eyes are so watery. You're literally weeping, and the Bible talks about this, until you have no more strength to weep. - Emmett G. Price III, host of WGBH, a public radio station located in Boston

The American alliance system expertly manipulates international rules. Power trumps justice in the pursuit of self-interest. The US chooses which international laws to enforce based solely on its convenience. In recent years, the US pulled out of the Paris Agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Treaty on Open Skies, and the INF Treaty, revoked the signing of the Arms Trade Treaty, and handled the renewal of the New START Treaty passively. It is addicted to breaching treaties.

Moreover, it feels glorified instead of being ashamed, and starts to advocate the "rules-based international order" in which the "rules" refer to its alliance's own rules and unequal terms.

The US and its allies challenged the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea with the Freedom of Navigation. They attempted to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from investigating its crimes committed in the Afghan War at all costs, which included threatening the ICC investigation staff that they would be subject to retribution.

In the information sphere, the US is a hackers' empire. Early in the Cold War, it organized the notorious Five Eyes alliance to monitor electronic communications worldwide. The US blames others for information theft and cyber-attacks while it covertly obstructs cyber security.

In 2013, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee Edward Snowden brought to light the PRISM program operated by the US, which was a surveillance program targeting both citizens and political figures on a global scale. Also in 2013, Der Spiegel disclosed that the National Security Agency (NSA) had installed spyware or modified hardware in the computers before they were delivered for foreign diplomats' use.

In 2017, WikiLeaks released thousands of confidential documents that exposed how the CIA was hacking the world. In 2020, it was revealed that since the end of WWII, the CIA has been controlling a Swiss encryption company to intercept top secrets of many countries, including its allies.

6. Destruction

Moral depravity defines US politics. The United States is regarded as the greatest threat to world peace. - Noam Chomsky, US philosopher

The US and its allies have long been the fallen angel that wreck foreign regimes and regional peace.

According to Covert Regime Change: America's Secret Cold War by Assistant Professor Lindsey O'Rourke at Boston College, in the 42 years between 1947 and 1989, the US had 64 covert subversions and six open operations. The US seems to show more excitement and enthusiasm for overthrowing foreign regimes than it does for celebrating Christmas.

After the Cold War, the US has turned into an even more unscrupulous interventionist. Its frequent attempts to export the Color Revolution brought the Arab Spring. Unfortunately, it only brought an Arab Winter and an Arab Disaster.

In his On Western Terrorism: From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare, Noam Chomsky sorrowfully wrote, "This relatively short period has arguably seen the greatest number of massacres in human history. Most of them were performed in the name of lofty slogans such as freedom and democracy."

The US boasts its grandiose offshore balance strategy with its soft power and smart power when in reality, it is merely thick black theory full of schemes. In contrast to the Eastern tradition of valuing harmony and peace, the Anglo-Saxon world (the US and the UK) believes that disagreements and conflicts equals opportunity.

The US manipulated NATO to squeeze Russia's geo-space, and undermined the EU-Russia reconciliation and oil pipeline program. It supported Brexit to cripple the EU and reinforce US' control over Europe. It sowed discord in the Middle East in order to control the oil resources and made Iran an enemy of the region.

When it comes to China, the US spares no effort. The US rocked the boat in the South China Sea and made provocations, which led to turbulence in regional stability. It casts controllable tension on the Korean Peninsula and the Taiwan Straits to hinder peace progresses. At the China-India border, it fanned the flames of conflicts and mediated in favor of India. It also used the Quad to lure India into confronting China, intending to cause a lose-lose fight between the two developing giants.

Recently, the US obstructed the passing of a joint statement on ceasefire and cessation of violence and the protection of civilians at the Security Council despite the ongoing escalation of the Palestine-Israel situation and the overwhelming majority of UNSC members' call for an immediate ceasefire. Rather than taking proactive measures to promote peace, the US stands ready to fuel tension.

Time and time again, history has proven that the US and its allies always bring with them trouble and turmoil.

7. Disunion

In a war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times. - Winston Churchill

Forty years ago, the US forced Japan to sign the Plaza Accord to secure its economic supremacy. The Japanese hi-tech industry was dismantled and the Japanese economy crippled for decades. Today, it turns to South Korea and Chinese Taiwan, threatening to relocate their semiconductor industries back to the US.

From 2009 to 2017, the US imposed its long-arm jurisdiction on Europe, whereby it collected US$190 billion in penalties, monopolized massive quantities of personal information, and forcefully took over European enterprises that were sanctioned. In an attempt to reap profits, the Wall Street recently tried to overturn the century-old European football world by forming an independent European Super League, which was widely resisted and disgracefully aborted.

The COVID-19 outbreak put the US in the spotlight. The egomaniac that it is, the US selfishly fed itself even at the cost of its allies. The mask war between the US and its allies is indeed an abomination.

Ever since they have developed the COVID-19 vaccines, the US has ranked its allies. It is generous to Anglo-Saxon purebreds like the UK and Australia, lukewarm to Europe and other common allies, but haggles over ounces with Japan and South Korea.

Japan, challenged by the upcoming Olympics and the worsening pandemic, received no vaccines from the US. The Japanese Prime Minister had to beg American vaccine companies. The vaccination rate is 1 percent in Japan, which is only one fiftieth of the US. The South Korean foreign minister also begged the US for help but heard a resolute no.

At the early stage of the pandemic, India offered the Trump administration large quantities of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Now that India is in the midst of a severe pandemic, it has received neither the vaccine raw materials that the US promised, nor any American oxygen or inhalators.

The US is an octopus and its allies are its tentacles. It uses them to try and rule the world but stay alert to prevent them from growing too strong. Once its interests are threatened, the octopus won't hesitate to cut off one or more of the tentacles or even feed on them.

So how could such an egoist and a corrupted alliance system take on global governance? How could they shamelessly claim to represent the international community?

After the Vietnam War, former Senator J. William Fulbright expressed his deep concern about the aggrandizement of the Arrogance of Power that would incur immeasurable destruction, and excessive expansion that would result in the nation's decline.

Recently, renowned American scholar Joseph Nye rang the alarm again: more and more countries are beyond the control of the US. It is extremely dangerous to believe the US is invincible.

What goes around comes around, and where vice is, vengeance follows. There will be severe penalties for the seven sins committed by the US. Justice may be served later, but it will never be absent.

[awesome-casuallyfamouscollector]

(,,) In an unmistakable throwback to the years of the Cold War, the U.K. Royal Air Force is preparing to undertake snap exercises that will see its fighter jets operate from civilian airfields and perhaps even strips of highway. The initiative is part of plans for dispersed operations in times of tension, recognizing the fact that potential Russian aggression would very likely target the U.K.’s handful of fighter bases as a matter of priority.

The missile threat Wigston was referring to is very likely the controversial 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile, also known as the SSC-8 Screwdriver. According to NATO, this weapon violated the terms of the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or INF, and it directly led to that agreement’s final collapse last year. With a range of around 1,500 miles, the 9M729 would be able to hit any target in Western Europe when launched from Kaliningrad.

The U.K. Secretary of State for Defense Ben Wallace also recently brought attention to the apparent threat posed by Russia — in this case, its expanding maritime capabilities — when he labeled the country as the U.K.’s “number one adversary threat,” last May. This was evidenced, among others, by a pronounced uptick in Russian Navy vessels visiting waters around the United Kingdom.

P.S. At least somebody in the West is starting to understand what is going on inside Mordor...! Ups! Sorry, inside Kremlin....! 

[corvid-420]

it’s barely been a couple weeks since Americans withdrew from the INF treaty but already they’re able to test missiles whose development was previously banned? it’s obvious who was definitely violating the treaty behind closed doors.

If US Administration cared anything about actual #INF violations, they would invoke sanctions against Russia, not pull out of the treaty. Trump obviously have other motives.

INF nuclear treaty: US pulls out of Cold War-era pact with Russia

INF nuclear treaty: US pulls out of Cold War-era pact with Russia

INF nuclear treaty: The US is set to officially pull back from an atomic arrangement with Russia, raising feelings of dread of another weapons contest.

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was marked by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet pioneer Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987.

It restricted rockets with reaches between 500-5,500 km (310-3,400 miles).

Be that as it may, prior this year…

US Test Fired Missile Formerly Banned in Treaty

US Test Fired Missile Formerly Banned in Treaty

Ground Launched Cruise Missiles (GLCM – intermediate range) were banned under the INF treaty signed by the US and Russia in 1987. The US test fired one on Sunday.

But NATO and the US both knew that Russia had been violating the agreement for decades, so he President yanked us out of it. No sense wasting our energy when the other guys were upping their game.

Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA on May 27 as regards the fact that U.S. National Security Adviser has taken issue over our regular military drill:

John Bolton, U.S. National Security Adviser, has taken issue over the regular military drill of our army, claiming that it is a violation of the "resolutions" of the United Nations Security Council. His claim is indeed much more than ignorant.

As for the UNSC "resolutions" which Bolton recklessly referred to, we have neither recognized nor are we bound by them, because those "resolutions" are illegal and outrageous ones that completely deny the rights to existence and development of a sovereign state, as we have already stated several times.

If any object is launched, it is bound to fly in trajectory. What the U.S. is taking issue with is not about the range but the prohibition of the launch itself using ballistic technology. This is, after all, tantamount to a demand that the DPRK should give up its self-defensive right.

Our military drill neither targeted anyone nor endangered the surrounding countries, but Bolton makes dogged claims that it constitutes a violation of the "resolutions", impudently poking his nose into other's internal matters. It takes little insight to determine that Bolton clearly has a different mental structure from ordinary people.

Bolton, as he confessed himself, played a "hammer" to "shatter" the 1994 DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework, and he is well-known as an anti-DPRK "war maniac" who fabricated various provocative policies such as designation of our country as "axis of evil," preemptive strike and regime change.

Worse still, Bolton stood in the forefront of leading the Iraq war and abrogating the INF Treaty that has served to ensure peace in Europe for decades, and he is now gaining notoriety as a warmonger for his obsession with other wars in the Middle East and South America.

It is not a mere coincidence that criticisms are now being heard in the U.S. that Bolton is a war monger whispering war to the president when he himself evaded military service, saying he had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy.

It's fitting to call Bolton not a security adviser striving for security, but a security-destroying adviser who is wrecking peace and security.

It is not at all strange that perverse words always come out of the mouth of a structurally defective guy, and such a human defect deserves to disappear soon.

While y'all focusing on them nasty'ass chickens. These ppl out here are on some other shit. Read carefully!! The key pillar of arms control (and earlier ones) are gone because the US unilaterally abandoned its obligations based on Big Lies — the INF pullout announced in February, formal withdrawal occurring on August 2. Russia and China correctly warned that the White House move threatens international peace and security — what’s true about Washington’s geopolitical agenda overall under both extremist wings of its war party. Ahead of Thursday’s SC session, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the following: “The (meeting) was based on the plans announced by the US, which concern the deployment of intermediate-range missiles to the Asia-Pacific region” close to China and North Korea, adding: “Clearly, it is only the first step, and in the future, the US may deploy such weapons to other regions of the world, including Europe” near Russia’s border — heightening world tensions more than already. On August 18, the US war department said the Pentagon “conducted a flight test of a conventionally-configured ground-launched cruise missile at San Nicolas Island, California” — banned by the INF Treaty it failed to explain, adding: “The test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately impacted its target after more than 500 kilometers of flight.” “Data collected and lessons learned from this test will inform the (war department’s) development of future intermediate-range capabilities.” During Thursday’s SC session, acting Trump regime envoy Jonathan Cohenrepeated long ago debunked Big Lies about Russian INF violations that didn’t occur. Moscow invited international inspections of missiles objected to by the US. They never took place because Trump regime hardliners pressured their NATO counterparts not to accept the offer.

Why is everyone so worked up about the launcher? This is where things get really interesting. The Mk-41 VLS launcher that was used to launch the Tomahawk is the same type of launcher that would be used to launch SM-3 interceptors from Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense stations in Romania and Poland, once the latter station is completed. For years, Russia has said that the US deployment of these ground-based Mk-41 VLS launchers to Europe constitutes an INF violation, because they could theoretically be used to launch Tomahawks over 500 kilometers. Legally speaking, this doesn’t hold water––Article VII, paragraph 7 of the INF Treaty states that in order for a launcher to be considered in violation of the treaty, it must actually conduct a ground launch of a prohibited missile. Since this never happened while the INF Treaty was in force, the Mk-41 VLS launchers weren’t in violation. What’s more, the United States has consistently stated that although Mk-41s can launch Tomahawks, the ones deployed in Romania and Poland cannot. In December 2017, the State Department announced that “The Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System does not have an offensive ground-launched ballistic or cruise missile capability. Specifically, the system lacks the software, fire control hardware, support equipment, and other infrastructure needed to launch offensive ballistic or cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk.” Perhaps this is true, perhaps it isn’t. But absent some kind of US transparency measure that offers visibility into the Aegis Ashore systems, Russia is forced to rely solely on an American promise. And for Putin, that’s simply not going to cut it. That being said, it’s also possible that no amount of transparency would ever have satisfied Putin, as his primary concern over Aegis Ashore appears to be directed at the general deployment of missile defenses in Europe, rather than their offensive potential. So why did the United States do this test? Both the timing and the nature of the test indicate that it’s driven primarily by political––rather than strategic––considerations. In all likelihood, the Trump administration asked the Pentagon to conduct an INF-violating test under a very tight timeline, and the quickest option also happened to be the most controversial. Also, any chance to give the INF Treaty’s corpse the middle finger is one that this administration will surely take.
