A lot of very public lobbying ahead of the July 11 NATO summit. Ursula van DER Crazy is pumping for "step on the gas! Full steam ahead! As long as it takes!"
Meanwhile Zelenskiy & Co. are blaming failure of the counteroffensive on lack of F-16s and a cornucopia of other western weapons. At the same time, desperate to drag the USA fully into war, Kiev may attempt a nuclear false flag.
NATO nations are tapped out for relevant weapons and are scrounging for older model tanks like Leopard 1s. NATO seems to be deciding against including Ukraine, which won't be allowed at the formal meeting and can only participate in side meetings.
And NATO itself can't decide on a new head, leaving Stoltenberg in for ANOTHER year beyond the normal term.
The next week is going to be very critical for Ukraine, and they may try something desperate.

Democrats destroyed the American electoral process and put the world through two and a half years of lockdown hell and the resulting economic downturn to remove the only man who would have kept any of this from happening.
Well done, idiots.

Yanno, solutions to a lot of our problems are blindingly obvious, but they would clip TPTB's wings, and that -of course- would NEVER be allowed.

If anyone has the will to do it, it's Trump.
The real problem is that they've propagandized half of the population against him over outright lies and/or things that are trivial.
I'm honestly surprised that they haven't made Trump just disappear yet. I wouldn't think that they'd think that solution to be too gauche, or care in the slightest if they make a martyr out of him. Look what they did to Epstein and how it was covered. Ted and Second would be jerking off for months about it if it were to happen, and sadly there are a lot of mindless meatpuppets in the country who would join them in the celebrations.
I will never vote for DeSantis. The more time that passes the more time he proves himself just to be another wolf in sheep's clothing.

Russian authorities are absolving Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin of financial responsibility for damages caused by the Wagner Group rebellion and reportedly returned significant liquid assets to Prigozhin, possibly as part of the deal negotiated between Putin, Prigozhin, and Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. The Rostov-on-Don administration claimed that the total damages from Prigozhin’s rebellion amounted to 92.5 million rubles (roughly $1 million), and that the administration will not recover damages from Prigozhin or the Wagner Group.[21] St. Petersburg news outlet Fontanka claimed, citing internal sources, that Russian authorities returned over 10 billion rubles (roughly $111 million) in cash, five gold bars, and hundreds of thousands of US dollars in cash to Prigozhin on July 2 that authorities had seized from Prigozhin-affiliated facilities in St. Petersburg on June 24.[22] Fontanka claimed that authorities only reversed their decision to hold onto Prigozhin‘s liquid assets on July 2 but did not specify a reason for the reversal. The legal basis that Russian authorities would have had for seizing Prigozhin’s assets remains unclear in any case, as Russian authorities dropped criminal charges against Prigozhin for the rebellion.[23] A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that part of Prigozhin’s liquid assets were supposed to be compensation to the families of Russian pilots whom Wagner forces killed during the rebellion, but it is now uncertain whether Wagner will make those payments.[24] The milblogger assessed that Wagner will likely use at least part of the returned assets to support transferring Wagner Group personnel to Belarus.

This is the latest Russian propaganda. Part of a ramp up in nuclear threats from Russia this week, Medvedev also came out with some.
For everyone wondering, this is a good sign the war is not going Russia's way.

You cannot engage in truth telling by addressing facts with lies, whataboutisms, or fallacy of relative privations. Or by referring to your same topic, too address all other topics. Some here continue to do so because they are, well, stupid.
wink wink nod nod
SIX: You still refuse to denounce
THUGR: No, what I refuse to do is allow you to accuse me of being something I am not, then spend my time trying to convince you I am not. Or, trying to convince you that I do not believe something is good that I don’t, and never said I did.
Shit you’ve completely made up, lies. You’ve been trying to do this same thing again and again. All in an attempt to control my conversations by lying about me. It never works Jackass. All it ever accomplishes is to expose your ignorance and complete lack of class.
So, why am I responding to more of your posts? Because, everything I’ve been saying these past few years was going to happen with Trump and his cronies that you’ve been saying won’t, is happening. I’m reminding you what an ass you are, and who is always right by posting current events that prove it. I do this while you continue to crawl in the gutter.
the fallacy of the "fallacy of whataboutism": you PRETEND to care about morals, ethics, 'freedom', justice, righteousness, humaneness etc etc but anyone points out america's or the DNC's or the deep state's (horrific) misdeeds, you use 'whataboutism' to avoid/deny having to discuss 'your side's' moral, ethical, and inhumane failings. seeing as you posit 'your side' as moral, ethical, righteous, just, and humane, discussing YOUR side's failings is completely on-topic. so either you address 'your side's' failings or paint yourself as a mssive hypocrite. when YOU can discuss moral failings in an objective manner, i will too.
the fallacy of the fallacy of relative privation: dood, in the REAL WORLD it's ALL about 'relative privation' bc not all privations are equal. having no food or water or shelter is, in reality, more important than not having the latest style footware. not being killed wantonly (LIFE) is more important than freedom (LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness). don't bring up this 'fallacy' again bc it's fallacious
ad hominem: 'what I refuse to do is allow you to accuse me of being something I am not' is generally called LIBEL. and it is a CRIME, and yet, you do it ALL THE TIME. 'COMRADE'you don't like being treated the same? OH, TOO BAD!
maybe i should start doing the same. eh, pervert?
calling someone a liar: if you look up LIBEL, you'll see it's a specific form of lie. now, you may in your heart deeply 'believe' something to be true, but if there is no proof, you will, in a court of law, be found GUILTY. so, like everything else you post, and think, you might wanna be sure of your evidence b4 you start slinging accusations around bc in the REAL WORLD of real consequences, your 'beliefs'.no matter how strongly felt, don't count
so, show this to your older brother, or whoever is posting for you, and they can 'splain to you how false accusations can get you in trouble.
And we witness another of comrade signym posting tactics. Rambling subjective bullshit, and in her post here we see it in abundance.

Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine would end within days if the West stopped shipping weapons to the battered nation, a top Kremlin official said Wednesday.
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev also defended the Russian military, which has struggled to gain ground since early land grabs in the 16-month war. The Russian army is "modern and heroic (despite) experiencing certain problems, like any army,'' he said.
Medvedev, Russia's former president, also made an allusion to nuclear weapons as another way to end the war. It's the second time in a week he has raised the specter of nuclear war, recently saying the invasion of Ukraine could last for decades and "quite probably" could end in nuclear war.
"Actually, any war, even a world war, can stop very fast," he said Wednesday. "Either if a peace treaty is signed or if one does what the U.S. did in 1945, when it used its nuclear weapons (at) Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They have, indeed, ended the war campaign back then, at a cost of lives of almost 300,000 civilians."

The rebellion in Russia by Wagner mercenaries confronted Western officials with one of their gravest fears: the possibility of political chaos and instability in the country with the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.
Anxiety over who might gain control of Russia’s weapons of mass destruction has long tempered Western hopes that President Vladimir Putin might be ousted from power. But months of nuclear posturing by Putin and other senior Russian officials, and a new debate among Moscow analysts on using a nuclear weapon on a NATO country, have raised doubts about whether Putin really provides the stability necessary to avoid an atomic Armageddon — or if he is the risk they should fear most.
Russian officials have played on the West’s nuclear fears throughout the war in an effort to undermine Western support for Ukraine and to slow weapons deliveries, a tactic that seems to have worked.
And in recent weeks the drumbeat has intensified, with some well-connected Russian strategic analysts and think tank experts openly proclaiming the “necessity” for Moscow to carry out a preemptive tactical nuclear strike on a NATO country, like Poland — to avoid defeat in the war on Ukraine and to revive Western terror of Russia’s nuclear might.
Since the Wagner rebellion, Sergei Karaganov, a former Kremlin adviser and influential Russian political scientist, has doubled down on calls for Moscow to do so. In an earlier article last month headlined, “A Difficult but Necessary Decision,” Karaganov argued the risk of a retaliatory nuclear strike on Russia, and nuclear Armageddon, “can be reduced to an absolute minimum.”
No sane American president would put the United States at risk by “sacrificing conditional Boston for conditional Poznan,” he wrote, referring to a city in Poland.
A hawkish Moscow-based military analyst, Dmitry Trenin, supported Karaganov, arguing that “an unambiguous — and no longer verbal — signal should be sent” to Washington.
“The possibility of using nuclear weapons in the current conflict should not be hidden,” he wrote in an essay, calling for the revision of Russia’s nuclear doctrine, which limits the use of nuclear weapons to cases where Russia’s existence is threatened. Both essays were published by influential Russian foreign policy think tank, the Foreign Policy Research Foundation.
Trenin lamented that Russia’s deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus — which Putin says will be completed by year end — had caused no visible alarm in Western capitals.
Karaganov’s essays have a messianic tone that reflect Putin’s zealous view of his place in history, solving what Moscow likes to call “the Ukraine problem,” a reference to an independent, democratic nation choosing a pro-Europe path on Russian borders.
He argues nuclear weapons were invented by God to revive mankind’s fear of Armageddon, insisting, “That fear needs to be revived.” He sees Russia as “chosen by history” to destroy the “Western yoke,” and “finally free the world.”
Many Russian nuclear arms experts gasped in horror at the calls from Karaganov and Trenin. One, Ivan Timofeev, called it “extremely dangerous.”
Three experts from the Center for International Security writing in Kommersant newspaper, Alexei Arbatov, Konstantin Bogdanov and Dmitry Stefanovich, called the idea that Washington would not strike back “highly doubtful and likely erroneous.”
Then came the specter of civil war, with Wagner mercenaries rolling in a convoy toward Moscow in the most serious political chaos since 1993 when President Boris Yeltsin ordered tanks to fire on the country’s parliament to squash a rebellion by lawmakers.
As the Wagner rebellion unfolded last month, United States officials contacted Moscow to assure Putin that Prigozhin’s rebellion was an internal Russian matter, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. That reassurance highlighted the worry among Western leaders that Putin, sensing a Western plot or fearing defeat, could take radical action.
The rebellion is over, but any drastic

The Kremlin has denied a report that the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, had personally warned his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
“No, I can’t confirm it,” Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Wednesday when asked about a Financial Times report that said Xi delivered the message when he visited Moscow in March.
