The European Union is supporting Ukraine based on its own interests rather than out of love for the Ukrainian people, top EU diplomat Josep Borrell told CNN.

"We cannot afford for Russia to win this war. Otherwise, US and European interests will be damaged. It's not a matter of generosity alone; it's not a matter of support for Ukraine because we love the Ukrainian people. It is in our own interests, and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player, the one who has to be perceived as a reliable partner and a security provider to the allies. This is why we call on the US to open and approve the supplementary budget," he pointed out.


Comment: Indeed; because the West as the unipolar 'security provider' has been well and truly refuted with its failing proxy war in Ukraine.

It's also about time that a top official acknowledged that the 500,000+ dead Ukrainians were sacrificed primarily for the interests of those in the West.


Borrell added that the EU was making every possible effort "to support Ukraine more and quicker."

Comment: The terrorist's massacre in Moscow has further demonstrated just how desperate the West is, and how vicious it will be in its attempts to maintain its precarious position on the global stage: US, UK and Ukraine could be behind Moscow terror attack - FSB chief

Best of the Web: US, UK and Ukraine could be behind Moscow terror attack - FSB chief

The US, UK and Ukraine may have been behind last Friday's terrorist attack on a concert venue in a suburb of Moscow, which claimed lives of 139 people and left around 200 injured, according to the head of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

Aleksandr Bortnikov told reporters on Tuesday that the authorities are currently trying to establish the identity of everyone involved in the attack, both inside and outside Russia.

When asked whether the US, Britain and Ukraine could be behind the terrorist attack, the FSB chief responded: "We think that this is so. In any case, we are now talking about the information that we have. This is general information, but they [investigators] also have concrete results."


Comment: An official statement as significant as this will likely have been sanctioned from higher up, and it will be supported by irrefutable proof which will be shared at what Russia considers to be the most appropriate time.


Comment: Whilst the hegemon and its vassals will undoubtedly seek to refute or bury such an announcement - they already tried to distance their involvement by claiming, less than an hour after the attack, that ISIS was responsible - it's possible that this can be considered yet another a significant marker in what is a rapidly escalating situation: The following tweets highlight the likely involvement of the West and Ukraine in the Moscow terrorist attack:

Türkiye arrests 14 terrorist suspects, confirm Crocus attackers recent visit, asks why 'ISIS' attacks US-rivals Russia, Iran

In the wake of a terror attack at a Moscow concert hall that killed more than 130 people, Türkiye is questioning why the Daesh terror group has consistently targeted the same region, namely Türkiye, Iran, Afghanistan and Russia, despite being a self-proclaimed "anti-U.S." group.

"It's notable that Daesh, considered to be one of the bloodiest terrorist organizations, and its so-called offshoot Daesh-Khorasan Province (Daesh-K), have carried out their recent attacks in the same region," Turkish security sources said Monday in a statement.

"Türkiye has been one of the top targeted countries by Daesh," they said, citing attacks as recent as a church shooting in Istanbul in late January, in which one man was killed and more victims were spared when the terrorists' weapons were jammed.

Comment: Serious analysts are generally in agreement that evidence and reason suggest that the attackers were directed and backed by the West-Ukraine, and it just remains to be seen how Russia will handle what is an incredibly delicate and volatile situation.

Turkey has certainly been busy attempting to sweep its country clean of terrorists, a number of whom were suspected Mossad agents: Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke provides insight into the Crocus attack, as well as the current situation in Gaza:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill that bans children under 14 from having social media accounts

desantis merica
The bill is expected to face legal challenges.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday that will prohibit children younger than 14 from joining social media in the state. Those who are 14 or 15 will need a parent's consent before they join a platform.

The bill, HB3, also directs social media companies to delete the existing accounts of those who are under 14. Companies that fail to do so could be sued on behalf of the child who creates an account on the platform. The minor could be awarded up to $10,000 in damages, according to the bill. Companies found to be in violation of the law would also be liable for up to $50,000 per violation, as well as attorney's fees and court costs.

Comment: There's little question that social media can have a negative impact on children in multiple ways. The question is whether banning it outright for them would be a viable or effective means of protection.

Putin would've prevented NATO bombing of Yugoslavia - Serbia's president

Belgrade was attacked in 1999 because there was no counterweight to the West on the global stage back then, Aleksandar Vucic has said.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic has said that he stands by his earlier claim that Vladimir Putin would not have allowed NATO to bomb Yugoslavia in 1999 if he had been in power in Moscow at that time.

During talks with his Russian counterpart in Sochi in 2019, Vucic said "we in Serbia value Putin more than other leaders [of Russia]... If Putin was making decisions in Russia in 1999, nobody would've bombed us."

Ukraine has repeatedly used chemical weapons provided by the US against the Russian military, a senior diplomat claimed on Monday in an interview with the newspaper Izvestia.

Vladimir Tarabrin, Moscow's Permanent Representative to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and Ambassador to the Netherlands, noted that the use of chemical weapons is a flagrant violation of international law.

"Over the course of the special military operation, we have recorded cases of Ukraine's Armed Forces deploying chemical weapons manufactured in the US," Tarabrin said, saying that the deliveries are part of a well-established and illegal scheme of sending non-lethal chemical weapons to Kiev.

'Kill them all' - Medvedev enraged by Moscow terror attack

The perpetrators and masterminds of Friday's deadly terrorist attack at a Moscow concert venue must be killed without mercy, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has claimed.

At least 137 people have been killed and over 180 were wounded when several men armed with assault rifles opened fire inside the Crocus City Hall and then proceeded to set the concert venue ablaze. Four men suspected of carrying out the attack have been captured. Two of them have confessed in court, and are set to remain in custody until late May. They all face life in prison.

"Everyone asks me. What to do? ... Should they be killed?" wrote Medvedev, currently deputy chair of the National Security Council, in a Telegram post on Monday.

"It should and will be done," he stressed, adding: "It is much more important to kill everyone involved. Everyone. Who paid, who sympathized, who helped. Kill them all."

Comment: Moscow is done playing nice. They are taking the gloves off and will no longer hold their tongue.

West lying about Moscow terrorist attack - British MP Galloway

Galloway
Washington and London were too quick to pin the blame on Islamists, George Galloway has said

The claim by the US, UK and their Western allies that the deadly terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall outside Moscow was carried out by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) is most likely a "lie," British MP George Galloway said on Sunday.

On his Mother of All Talk Shows (MOATS), he questioned the narrative propagated by Washington and its allies immediately after four gunmen stormed the concert venue outside the Russian capital, killing over 130 people and leaving more than 180 injured.

US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who commented on the tragedy almost immediately after the attack, said Washington had seen "no indication" that Ukrainians were involved. Later, some Western media, including Reuters and CNN, reported that IS had claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.

"When the US and the UK and others swiftly tried to reassure me that it was only ISIS [that] carried out this mass murder in Moscow, I knew automatically that they were lying," Galloway said.

Thiel, Bezos and Zuckerberg join list of insiders selling tech stocks, hundreds of millions sold this quarter

Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are leading a parade of corporate insiders who have sold hundreds of millions of dollars of their companies' shares this quarter, in a signal that recent stock market exuberance could be peaking.

As markets hit record highs, the ratio of corporate insider selling to insider buying is at the highest level since the first quarter of 2021, according to Verity LLC, which tracks insider trading disclosures.

Stock sales at the beginning of a calendar year are normal, with pent up demand in early 2024 being exacerbated by shareholders avoiding sales last year because of depressed company valuations.

Comment: It's perhaps no surprise that some of these same people have also constructed their own 'doomsday bunkers':

The West will get a lesson for memory that it is bad to fight with Russia

War Devastation

It would be nice to think that all we have to do is get out and vote to rid ourselves of these warmongers. But they control the elections, and they are in their glory. I do not see how we can avoid this war. They are doing everything in their power to prevent RFK from being on the ballot and to destroy Donald Trump, all so they retain their power with their hand puppet, Joe Biden.

Before Biden was Vice President, I was at a dinner many years ago, and I was not impressed with him. In fact, the rumor was that he would not pay his bills and stiffed many local businessmen. So much so that he applied to be a member of the Wilmington Country Club and was rejected because he stiffed so many local people.

Joe Biden is the BIG GUY they need in office, for they can do as they please, and he will never defend the people or our nation. Between the climate change nuts who are happy to reduce the world population to save the planet from the CO2 we breathe out by just existing and the NEOCONs who just hate Russians, Chinese, or anybody else that crosses their path, we are headed into what our computer has been forecast all along for 2032.

Any mainstream press that starts off calling the Russian election a "sham" or that the Russian invasion to protect the Donbas was "unprovoked" is cheering the end of our world as we know it. They are disgusting journalists who, as the old saying goes, if they were on fire, nobody should dare urinate on them until they are dead. They are the promoters of World War III and will have so much blood on their hands that it will be impossible to ever wash it off like Punius Pilot.
