Washington will resort to any possible means in its efforts to harm Moscow, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov has claimed.

Russia's ambassador to the US has slammed Washington for its tacit support of terrorism against Moscow. The US is prepared to condone "terrorist activities" by its "satellite states" in an effort to damage Russia, Anatoly Antonov, has claimed, in an interview with Russian media published on Thursday.

He also accused the US of meddling in the ongoing Russian presidential election.

Washington has been Ukraine's biggest military donor by far throughout the conflict with Moscow, and Kiev's forces have used US-supplied weapons in multiple attacks on Russian civilian targets.

New York Times reports Kiev's drones losing electronic war to Russia

Ukrainian UAV operators have reportedly been unable to effectively wage war since Russia improved its e-warfare capabilities

Russian forces have secured an advantage in the field of electronic warfare in Ukraine, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing military experts and Ukrainian soldiers. Kiev's troops have been unable to effectively use their drones on the battlefield due to constant jamming by the Russians, the outlet claims.

Drones have played a key role throughout the conflict and have been extensively used by both sides. For Kiev, as noted by the NYT, cheap commercial First Person View (FPV) racing drones have proven an effective alternative to artillery shells.

"FPVs play a critical role for us, as these toys are essentially mobile artillery that compensate for the lack of ammunition," one Ukrainian drone operator told the outlet.

Comment: NATO and the EU must be watching these developments with horror.

All the talk of sending ground forces is really about partitioning the country, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said

French President Emmanuel Macron has brought up the idea of sending NATO soldiers into Ukraine because members of the US-led bloc are plotting to divide up the country, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

Macron first suggested two weeks ago that when it came to NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine, no option should be off the table, but was publicly disavowed by most NATO members. He has since argued that France might send its own soldiers should Russia "break through to Kiev or Odessa."

Senior Israeli official suggests US trying to overthrow Netanyahu

The tensions that appear to be increasing between the Israeli and US leaders have not impacted Washington's support for Tel Aviv...

After a US intelligence assessment concluded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rule is vulnerable, a senior Israeli official suggested Washington was attempting to overthrow the war government in Tel Aviv. President Joe Biden has grown increasingly critical of his long-time friend Netanyahu. While the White House has sought to distinguish between support for Israel and its leader, the administration says it will not reduce support for Tel Aviv.

A senior Israeli official slammed the Biden administration in remarks to the Jerusalem Post, saying:
"We expect our friends to act to overthrow the terror regime of Hamas and not the elected government in Israel. Israeli citizens, and not anyone else, elect the prime minister. Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government."
The statement followed the annual "threat assessment" compiled by US intelligence agencies, which was released on Monday and questioned Netanyahu's hold on power.

Comment: Under increasing US criticism and dismal poll numbers, Biden's pivot is a two-faced ploy to dispel re-election concerns. Other than to self-serve, he doesn't care.

Ukraine needs massive mobilization to relieve frontline troops - FT

Some 330,000 soldiers must be withdrawn to rest, according to the British newspaper...

Ukraine wants to mobilize up to 500,000 additional troops mostly to replace frontline soldiers that have not had a proper rest for months, the Defense Ministry in Kiev has claimed to the Financial Times.

An estimated 330,000 "exhausted troops" require rotation, which a radical military reform being deliberated in the Ukrainian parliament is intended to provide, the report said. The remaining new recruits will "replace casualties and meet other military needs," according to the ministry.

The Russian military estimated Kiev's casualties at over 444,000, as of the end of February. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky claimed last month that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in two years of hostilities with Russia, a figure that even journalists sympathetic to the Ukrainian cause have called implausibly low.

Canadian government plans 'totalitarian show trial' of heroic doctor. Legal trickery would silence Dr. Charles Hoffe

Prominent Canadian physician Dr. Charles Hoffe has spoken out courageously to warn people of the very serious dangers of the Covid mRNA genetic "vaccines". He now faces trial from the Canadian health authorities aiming to silence him and effectively destroy his medical practice.

What is most disturbing about this unprecedented case is that, if the prosecution gets its way, all the evidence produced by the State claiming the Covid vaccines are "safe and effective" will be deemed indisputable, irrefutable — and Dr. Hoffe would not be able to defend himself or call expert witnesses!

In other words, a totalitarian show trial designed to intimidate all doctors and patients who value medical freedom of choice, the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech, and medical ethics.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, where Dr. Hoffe practices, had scheduled the disciplinary hearing for March 4th through March 15th. But at the last minute, the College pulled a fast one.

Comment: The new lockdown: One-sided justice, evidence be damned, legal rights eliminated, the masking of tyranny.

US has created 'Frankenstein' states - British MP

Israel and Ukraine now dictate to Washington. The American policy of giving billions in aid to Ukraine and Israel has created "monster" states, British MP George Galloway has claimed.

Appearing on Rick Sanchez's show Direct Impact broadcast on RT, Galloway discussed the debate surrounding Western aid to Ukraine, as well as the rift between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the situation in Gaza.

In the latest row between Biden and Netanyahu, the US president has insisted that an Israeli assault on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza - where around 1.5 million Palestinians have sought refuge - would be a "red line." Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead regardless, arguing that his own red line is ensuring that the October 7 Hamas attack "never happens again."

West could use 'sanctions baton' against any nation - Lavrov

The Russian foreign minister says the threat has prompted the creation of global financial mechanisms free from Western control...

The West could unleash illegal economic sanctions against any country at any time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned. The diplomat claimed that this risk is all the more real given the West's "agony" at the moment. On Wednesday, Lavrov cautioned that any country could find itself at the receiving end of the illegal "sanctions baton" at any moment.

According to the minister, this situation is "stimulating the creation of inter-bank interaction mechanisms outside of Western control." The official added that nations wishing to ensure their independence are also investing in new international transport corridors and production chains.

Will BRICS launch a new world in 2024?

BRICS doubled its membership at the start of 2024, and faces huge tasks ahead: integrating its newest members, developing future admission criteria, deepening the institution's groundings, and most importantly, launching the mechanisms for bypassing the US dollar in international finance.

MOSCOW - Across the Global South, countries are lining up to join the multipolar BRICS and the Hegemon-free future it promises. The onslaught of interest has become an unavoidable theme of discussion during this crucial year of the Russian presidency of what, for the moment, is BRICS-10.

Indonesia and Nigeria are among the top tiers of candidates likely to join. The same applies to Pakistan and Vietnam. Mexico is in a very complex bind: how to join without summoning the ire of the Hegemon.

And then there's the new candidacy on a roll: Yemen, which enjoys plenty of support from Russia, China, and Iran.

It's been up to Russia's top BRICS sherpa, the immensely capable Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, to clarify what's ahead. He tells TASS:
We must provide a platform for the countries interested in rapprochement with the BRICS, where they will be able to work practically without feeling left behind and joining this cooperation rhythm. And as to how the further expansion will be decided upon - this should be postponed at least until the leaders convene in Kazan to decide.
The key decision on BRICS+ expansion will only come out of the Kazan summit next October. Ryabkov stresses that the order of the day is first "to integrate those who have just joined." This means that "as a 'ten,' we work at least as efficiently, or, rather, more efficiently than we did within the initial 'five.'"

Only then will the BRICS-10 "develop the category of partner states," which, in fact, means creating a consensus-based list out of the dozens of nations that are literally itching to join the club.

Ryabkov always makes a point to note, in public and in private, that the twofold increase of BRICS members starting on 1 January 2024 is "an unprecedented event for any international structure."

It isn't an easy task, Ryabkov says:
Last year, it took an entire year to develop the admission, expansion criteria at the level of top officials. Many reasonable things were developed. And many of the things that were formulated back then got reflected in the list of countries that joined. But it would probably be improper to formalize the requirements. At the end of the day, an admission to the association is a subject of political decision.
