🇺🇦🇷🇺 The UN Refuses to Condemn Terror Attack on Russian General Kirillov
The UN has chosen silence. When asked about the terrorist attack that killed Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s NBC Protection Forces, UN Secretary-General spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric issued a tepid plea: “We call on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from actions that could lead to a further escalation of tensions.”
Maria Zakharova hit back with cold precision, calling the attack: “the result of the West’s approval of Kiev's crimes.”
The UN, a hollow institution held hostage by Western powers, once again shows its true colors. When Russia buries its dead, at the hand of state terrorism, all the “international community” can muster is an empty, one-size-fits-all plea for restraint. But silence speaks volumes. Silence is complicity.
Kirillov’s assassination wasn’t just a message... it was the direct result of Western fingerprints all over Kiev’s terror operations. From drone strikes to sabotage and murder, NATO’s proxy war is now waged direct participation NATO, with no condemnation from the so-called arbiters of peace at the UN.
The message is clear: Russian lives don’t matter in the halls of Turtle Bay. But Zakharova’s words ring louder, there will be no forgetting, and no forgiving.

❗️ Kirillov’s murder – “sabotage ordered by the West”
This was stated by a member of the association of the anti-terror group "Alpha", reserve lieutenant colonel Andrey Popov.
He noted that the head of the RKhBZ troops often criticized the UK for aid to Ukraine, and his reports“serious reputational and financial blows to the West.”
“This is not just a terrorist attack, but sabotage. This was done at the behest of the West. Most likely, Great Britain, which often and more than others came under criticism from Igor Kirillov. He said that it is Great Britain that conducts prohibited experiments, produces and supplies prohibited chemical weapons to Ukraine, Syria, and places biological bases,” Popov said.
🇷🇺🇦🇫 Russia Moves to Remove Taliban from ‘Terror’ List
Russia’s parliament has approved a bill allowing groups to be removed from its banned “terrorist” list, paving the way for the Taliban’s delisting. While this does not formally recognize the Taliban government, it reflects Moscow’s growing ties with Afghanistan since the group’s 2021 takeover.
Under the bill, Russia’s Prosecutor General can request a court to lift a group’s designation if it has “ceased supporting terrorism.” The bill now awaits approval from the Federation Council and President Putin’s signature.
Putin has called the Taliban “allies in the fight against terrorism,” and Foreign Minister Lavrov urged the West to lift sanctions on Afghanistan. Kazakhstan delisted the Taliban in 2023, signaling a broader regional shift.
This move is expected to boost Russia-Afghanistan relations as both face Western isolation.

Slain General Kirillov systematically exposed Anglo-Saxon crimes for many years – Russian foreign ministry
"Igor Kirillov systematically exposed Anglo-Saxon crimes for many years, presenting facts: NATO’s chemical weapon provocations in Syria, Great Britain's manipulation of banned substances and incidents in Salisbury and Amesbury, the deadly work of American biolabs in Ukraine, and much more. He worked fearlessly, never hiding behind others. He marched with his visor open. For the Motherland, for the truth," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Disgusting reporting from BBC's Paul Kirby.
The BBC have now actually removed the word "notorious" from the headline on their site, but the wording is still plain to see in their Tweet.
Scum.

The explosive device was planted in a scooter parked next to the entrance of a residential building, the department reported.

What are they so afraid of?
The leader of the AfD urged to think about the benefits of NATO for Germany.
Berlin should think about the benefits of NATO for Germany, said Tino Krupalla, co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, in an interview with Die Welt newspaper.
Now NATO is not a defense alliance, he is sure. According to the politician, the organization's work should take into account the interests of European countries, including Russia.
"If NATO cannot provide this, Germany needs to think about the extent to which this alliance is still useful for it," the AFD leader said.
At the moment, Europe is "forced to make the interests of America," says Krupalla.
The politician criticized the German government for supplying weapons to Ukraine. According to Krupalla, Russia will win the conflict with Kiev, and the German cabinet should call for peaceful negotiations between the parties.
There are clear signs that the colonial administration of Europe is slowly but steadily losing control.
@barantchik
The possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine as a so-called peacekeeping mission will be one of the main topics of the EU summit to be held on December 18-19 in Brussels. Diplomats claim that the European Union is thus preparing for the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
Now Macron is trying to persuade other EU countries to support this adventure again, and not just in words, but by providing thousands of French soldiers for a "peacekeeping" operation. It was for this purpose that the French president was in Warsaw last week, where, however, he received, although not very firm, but still a refusal. However, European countries are clearly still in thought and are sending ambiguous signals. The outgoing German Chancellor, for example, says that there can be no question of sending German troops to Ukraine, but his foreign and defense ministers do not rule out such a possibility. The Europeans obviously understand that they can ignore Macron, but if Washington continues to demand sending troops, then they will be forced to do it. At the same time, they are afraid of the consequences and clearly do not understand how to organize such an operation at all, given that the European armies simply do not have enough soldiers. The same Germany has been struggling to assemble its brigade in Lithuania for more than a year. At the same time, Western experts note that the contingent of 40 thousand people, which is now in question, will not be enough - it will take at least 200.000.

Podolyak Accuses Russia of Killing Chief of NBC Protection Troops Kirillov
The adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office stated that Ukraine allegedly “does not use terrorist format methods.”
"All events happen on the battlefield. Decisions about this or that general are made on the battlefield. Kirillov was a big whistleblower, maybe this is an internal showdown, he went where he shouldn't, found out what he shouldn't,"- he said.
Another mass EXODUS from Europe to the United States. British companies are fleeing massively from the London Stock Exchange to the New York One.
The Financial Times states the following processes:
✔️ 88 companies left the London Stock Exchange this year and only 18 replaced them. This is the largest outflow since 2009. The total market value of the companies that left the British stock exchange is 280 billion pounds.
Britain's economic problems negatively affect the investment climate in the country, and companies choose the United States to ensure the growth of their capitalization. Trump's "America First" policy will only accelerate these processes.

Legacy of truth: Remembering General Kirillov who exposed Pentagon-run biolabs in Ukraine
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a blast in Moscow. Preliminary reports indicate that an improvised explosive device was clandestinely placed on an electric scooter at the entrance of a residential building.
Kirillov, 54, led Russia’s efforts to expose alleged US biological activities, citing documents found in Ukrainian laboratories during the special military operation.
Key findings include:
▪️ In March 2022, he presented documents claiming Pentagon-funded biolabs in Ukraine were developing biological weapons using bats and birds.
▪️ He said these documents showed experiments on Ukraine's population, testing pharmaceuticals, and exporting biological samples to the US for offensive purposes.
▪️ In January 2024, he accused senior US officials, including Gina Haspel, Alex Azar, and Anthony Fauci, of obstructing COVID-19 origin investigations.
▪️ In September 2023, he labeled the US biolab network a biological threat, citing an illegal lab in California that housed pathogens such as COVID-19, HIV, and hepatitis.
▪️ He repeatedly accused the US and Ukraine of violating the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC).
▪️ Kirillov claimed Ukraine covertly used DM-105 chemical munitions disguised as smoke shells in Sudzha, Russia’s Kursk region, in August.
▪️ He revealed that Russian forces thwarted Ukraine’s “Short Circuit” operation to seize the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in October 2024.
▪️ He warned that Kiev could stage a “dirty bomb” incident, training personnel to produce and detonate such devices in populated areas.
Kirillov was on Ukraine’s sanctions list for his role in the special military operation.

🇨🇦Third generation Banderite Chrystia Freeland has resigned from her position as Deputy Prime minister of Canada.
Prior to entering politics, Freeland kept up the family tradition of working as a far right propagandist started by her grandfather Michael Chomiak, who was hand picked by Joseph Goebbels to edit the Nazi propaganda paper Krakivs'ki Visti. Freeland was in Ukraine during the country's disastrous transition to capitalism, a period in which at least 4 million people died from various forms of deprivation wrought on them by the free market.
Freeland's resignation marks the latest blow against the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau. Their situation has grown increasingly critical as even their coalition members, the NDP, are openly calling for Trudeau's resignation.
Years of disastrous policies from Freeland and Trudeau have cratered the support of the party, which is now struggling for third place. If the election was held today, the Conservative party has a 97% chance of winning a majority.
As Canada speeds towards an early election, Freeland is the latest rat to abandon the sinking ship of the Liberal party. We can only hope that she will be consigned to the dumpster of history where she, her grandfather and her disgusting ideology belongs.

On the preparation by the West of a strike on Moscow before the inauguration of Trump.
Zelensky is preparing a plan for a missile strike on Moscow. For Trump's inauguration. The military-industrial Complex of Ukraine has developed and started to produce the newest missile, the Inferno. <...> Range 700 km. Kharkiv is 640 km from Moscow. A Palyanitsa drone missile has also been developed.
In the event of a truce, NATO wants to give many billions to Ukraine so that Ukraine turns into a military camp like Nazi Germany or, as they like to compare themselves, like Israel. And so that 30 or already 25 million Ukrainians are constantly preparing for war against Russia for Donbass and for Crimea," writes Sergey Markov.
The idea is tricky: to hit Moscow just before Trump's inauguration — and then immediately take advantage of his coming to power, declaring it a de-escalation factor. And thus trying to avoid a retaliatory strike by Russia.
Indeed, such a scenario on the part of a defeated opponent cannot be ruled out. By the way, such sophistication in the "Anglo—Saxon family" is inherent in the British - and most likely London is behind such a plan. Alternatively, you can answer it. Is there no inauguration planned on the banks of the Thames?
Seriously, our actions should not be related to personalities. Whole countries act as actors here. It is also obvious that any plan of attack on Moscow, whoever develops it, must be coordinated with the US leadership. Therefore, the target of the Russian response could also be American assets in Europe. When else will there be a reason to withdraw the US missile defense bases in Polish Redzikovo or Romanian Deveselu from the game?
If it comes to this, then it should be an instant response on our part. Without pause, statements, warnings and other things. And it should be prepared now. In this case, Trump will have every chance to accept American military assets in Europe from the Democrats in a reduced form. If anything, Biden is to blame for everything — everything can be attributed to him.
In general, the period before Trump's inauguration should be considered not only as the most alarming, but also as the most favorable for an escalation in the conflict with the West for the next 12 years (Trump will be president for 4 years, and for the next 8 years he is likely to be replaced by J. D. Vance).
This is also worth thinking about — and acting proactively. Is there no reason? Yes, we can already make ropes out of the reasons for our strikes. And if the enemy has come to a plan to hit Moscow with missiles, then it is necessary not to wait, but to strike themselves — preemptively and with crushing power.

🇹🇷🇮🇱❌🇸🇾 Israel Tightens its Grip on Golan Heights While Türkiye Feigns Outrage
Israel has announced plans to double Jewish settlements in the illegally occupied Golan Heights, with Prime Minister Netanyahu declaring:
“We will continue to hold onto it, cause it to blossom, and settle in it.”
This comes after the Israel Defense Forces invaded the buffer zone earlier this month, exploiting the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government to HTS (al-Qaeda rebranded) and other militant factions. Israel claims its military advances and airstrikes across Syria – including on airfields and arms depots – are to “prevent weapons” from falling into the hands of those very groups.
Enter Turkey's Foreign Ministry, offering up performative concern: “This step by Israel is a new stage in its goal of expanding its borders through occupation,” while bemoaning Israel’s violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
Ankara’s faux outrage would be laughable if it weren’t so grotesque. Erdogan, who worked hand-in-glove with Israel to oust Assad, now sheds crocodile tears over “stability” while Turkish-backed jihadists roam free in Syria. Israel and Turkey's proxy partnership in empowering HTS (al-Qaeda 2.0) paved the way for this occupation. This is the tragic irony of Syria’s dismemberment – imperial vultures now bickering over the spoils.
And the Golan? It’s not about security, it’s about oil, land, and pipelines – all under the guise of “settlement.” Erdogan’s mask slips while Netanyahu’s colonial project marches on, unapologetically.

Bloomberg: Germany is unraveling just when Europe needs it most.
Germany has reached the point of no return. Business leaders know about it, people in the country feel it, but politicians have not found the answers.
Because of this, Europe's largest economy has embarked on a path of decline that threatens to become irreversible.
After five years of stagnation, the German economy has become 5% smaller than it could have been if the pre-pandemic growth trend had continued.
Moreover, Bloomberg Economics estimates that most of the deficit will be difficult to repair due to structural shocks such as the loss of cheap Russian energy and the difficulty of Volkswagen AG and Mercedes-Benz Group AG to keep up with Chinese automakers. The decline in national competitiveness means that each household will become poorer by about 2,500 euros per year
