"The Chinese army is ready, together with the Russian army, to defend justice in the world"

This is what the Chinese Defense Ministry said.

In my opinion this is huge, especially if you take into account what’s going on in Palestine, as well as recent developments in the Russo-Ukrainian war, which I have not covered much in the past week or so, but I am pretty sure you have heard/read about recent escalations and strikes against Russia’s strategic early warning radar stations in Armavir and Orsk. In case you have not, I strongly recommend the following articles, which put such events in perspective without causing too much worry, unlike MSM:

• Larry C. Johnson’s article “Zelensky’s ‘piss’ summit and Ukraine’s nuclear provocation” (28/05/2024),

• Gilbert Doctorow’s article “Ukrainian strikes on Russian early warning radar installations: a strategic blow or an irrelevancy?” (29/05/2024)

• Gilbert Doctorow’s article “First strike capable: why Russia is indifferent to damage to one or another ground based radar installation” (01/06/2024)

I will end this post with my English translation of a great article by Francesco Pisanu, published on ComeDonChisciotte.org on 2nd June 2024. (All formatting original).

IN THE HANDS OF LUDOPATHIC JUNKIES

The more they lose the more they raise: they want world war.

The characteristic of the gambling addict, the so-called ludopath, is that when he loses, instead of accepting bad luck, he does not resign himself. No, he proceeds towards self-destruction, obsessed by the idea that luck will smile on him sooner or later. Thus, increasingly out of control, he squanders his wealth, then goes into debt... until his existential catastrophe.

It is evident that we, Europeans/Westerners, are led by ludopaths, addicted to power but rendered insane by their powerlessness against the adverse fate that is beating them. Filthy scoundrels who are not betting their wealth but ours, including our lives.

Their latest poker-playing spree consists of putting on the table the direct intervention of troops from some NATO countries and above all giving the Ukrainians carte blanche to strike military and production facilities on Russian territory with NATO weapons.

The most serious risk of this unscrupulous practice has already been felt in the recent Ukrainian attacks on early warning radar bases. These bases serve Russia to monitor the surrounding territories with extremely powerful radars in order to immediately detect a possible nuclear missile attack and thus be able to react in time. The Russians have ten early-warning units and the Ukrainians have already bombed two of them, but have not managed to impair their functionality.

Let us ask ourselves what might have happened if the attacks had been successful, with weapons from NATO countries. It would simply have been nuclear warfare, as it would have blinded the Russian system to possible nuclear attacks by the enemy. In such a circumstance, Russian strategic doctrine prescribes immediate reaction. An automatism dictated by the need not to be overwhelmed in a confrontation whose fate is decided in a matter of minutes.

The compulsive gamblers who have brought us to the brink of this infernal abyss have a name: Stoltenberg, Macron, Scholz, Tusk, Trudeau, Borrell... Practically all Western leaders are aligned on the criminal-ludopathic approach. A review of despicable poker players that is complemented by the intellectual class: journalists, writers, assorted entertainment people... a human residue that cheers on the phenomena in power. Despicable servants who glorify the toxicomania of their masters.
