Hybrid War is being fought predominantly in the economic/financial battleground - and the pain dial for the collective West will only go up.© REUTERS/Pavel KlimovBanned by Ukraine in 2017, a 300-meter-long St. George's ribbon was carried through Mariupol by volunteers on May 9. Many of the participants are believed to have traveled from the separatist-held region to show their support. The St. George's ribbon has become associated with the Kremlin-backed separatists and has also been banned in Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, and Estonia.
The ironclad fictional "narrative" imposed all across NATOstan is that Ukraine is "winning".
So why would weapons peddler retrofitted as Pentagon head Lloyd "Raytheon" Austin literally beg since late February to have his phone calls answered by Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, only to have his wish finally granted?
It's now confirmed by one of my top intel sources.
The call was a direct consequence of panic. The United States Government (USG) by all means wants to scotch the detailed Russian investigation - and accumulation of evidence - on the US bioweapon labs in Ukraine, as I outlined in a
previous column.
This phone call happened exactly after an official Russian statement to the UN Security Council on May 13: we will use articles 5 and 6 of the Convention on the Prohibition of Bioweapons to investigate the Pentagon's biological "experiments" in Ukraine.
That was reiterated by Under Secretary-General of the UN in charge of disarmament, Thomas Markram, even as all ambassadors of NATO member countries predictably denied the collected evidence as "Russian disinformation".
Shoigu cold see the call coming eons away. Reuters, merely quoting the proverbial "Pentagon official", spun that the allegedly one-hour-long call led to nothing. Nonsense. Austin, according to the Americans, demanded a "ceasefire" - which must have originated a Siberian cat smirk on Shoigu's face.
Shoigu knows exactly which way the wind is blowing on the ground - for Ukrainian Armed Forces and UkroNazis alike. It's not only the Azovstal debacle - and Kiev's all-around
army breakdown.
After the fall of Popasnaya - the crucial, most fortified Ukrainian stronghold in Donbass - the Russians and Donetsk/Luhansk forces have breached defenses along four different vectors to north, northwest, west and south.
What's left of the Ukrainian front is crumbling - fast, with a massive cauldron subdivided in a maze of mini-cauldrons: a military disaster the USG cannot possibly spin.Now, in parallel, we can also expect full exposure - on overdrive - of the Pentagon bioweapons racket. The only "offer you can't refuse" left to the USG would be to present something tangible to the Russians to avoid a full investigation.
Comment: It's rather unlikely that Pelosi, (or Biden or any other democrat Catholic for that matter), is actually practicing the religion, despite her claims on her "devout Catholic" status. The Catholic moniker is like a cloak they can wear when it's convenient and take off and ignore when it's not (ie., most of the time). We doubt Pelosi is the least bit upset about being barred from communion, except for the bad PR that may ensue (although not much happened to Biden when he was denied the same). And lets face it, Pelosi's stance on abortion is probably one of her least egregious anti-Catholic traits!
