‼️ SYRIA’S COLLAPSE IS NOW BECOMING A PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE A very accurate assessment of what is happening in Syria from my colleague. People from the Middle Ages are beginning a battle for bread. But I would put it somewhat differently. The Syria that had been falling apart since 2012 suited everyone. Literally everyone. Turkey, because there was a chance to reclaim former territories of the Ottoman Empire — and because it could siphon off oil for next to nothing. Israel, because it was an excellent opportunity to finish off an old enemy. And, oy vey, that is why Israeli instructors trained anti-Assad Islamists. Saudi Arabia was playing its own geopolitical game. Qatar was planning to build a pipeline to the Mediterranean. Britain was trying to return to a region it had lost in 1947. The Americans were pumping oil and planning to redraw the Middle East — or, more precisely, finish the process that had begun in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. And yes, they all financed Islamists. Does anyone remember that ISIS was created with the help of the CIA in Iraq to fight al-Qaeda and Sunni insurgents in Anbar Province? There, I've reminded you. Al-Baghdadi was a creation of American intelligence. The collapsing Syria suited everyone except Russia. Around 2014–15, Syria had gathered Islamists from across the former USSR and from Russia itself. And they all unequivocally identified Russia as the number-one enemy. Not Israel. Not Turkey. Russia helped Syria, but the Syrians themselves were unable to help themselves. The country was torn apart by external enemies and Islamists, but what ultimately finished it off was corruption, clan politics, and a complete unwillingness to carry out political and economic reforms. And now, the collapsed Syria is becoming a problem for everyone who helped tear it apart. The jihadist-Bolsheviks are in a pretty dire situation. There is no economy. No money. No assistance. Everyone who knew how to work has already been robbed or killed. Alawites and Christians have also been killed, or have fled the country. Bingo! Radicals have traditionally built a great big nothing. A complete and absolute fucking nothing. But the Islamists have an excellent option: enemies of Islam who can be blamed for everything. The Saudis. Typical kafirs and munafiqun. They allowed all sorts of haram things. Qatar. Well, obviously — kafirs too. Turkey? Who would have thought otherwise! Israel? A sacred duty: jihad against the Jews until Jerusalem becomes Muslim. An external enemy — and there are plenty of them — plus total jihad and world revolution. That is the only workable scheme for Julani that could allow him to retain power, or even use blackmail to secure financial assistance.

A huge tanker carrying etodrugin has just sunk off the coast of Canada. Canada’s Minister of Sport proposed banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in the Olympic Games for the next cycle as well. After being asked about applying the same principle symmetrically to the wars waged by the US, Canada, Europe, and Israel in Iraq, Iran, Libya, and Afghanistan, she immediately switched into maximum “cold shoulder” mode, smacked her tail against the doghouse, and ran away. So, what happened? Russian Imperative

In this video, it doesn’t matter at all what Trump is saying or what the journalists are asking him. Just pay all your attention to Zelensky. The guy is clearly messed up, completely falling apart. Either he’s coming down from a dose, or his body is already demanding another one. In Russian cities, when police officers see people with facial expressions and body movements like that, it is definitely grounds for a check. And in the West, people like that are made into presidents of an anti-Russian state-function. A terrorist cartel. Zelensky would look very much at home among the fentanyl addicts on the streets of Washington. Someone, please overlay the opening theme from the series Narcos onto this video.

🇺🇦 Traffic Jams in Kyiv as Southern Bridge Is Closed There are traffic jams in Kyiv because traffic on the Southern Bridge has been closed. I don't think the damage there is critical; they are probably assessing how bad things are. But there will definitely be critical damage still to come. The video, by the way, is quite telling. You can hear a Russian-speaking — or rather, simply Russian — female journalist diligently trying to speak in a hastily concocted “Ukrainian language.” This language is not native to her. Her accent gives away a Russian speaker. Just another fact to add to the evidence of the ethnocide and linguocide of Russians in Ukraine. All according to the Lenin–Kaganovich method. As for the successive strikes, which will of course continue, one thing should be noted. When Zelensky and his associates decided that they would “powerfully” defeat Russia in forty days, they were absolutely convinced that there would be no response from Russia. Certainly not a harsh one, and certainly not one involving the destruction of ports and infrastructure. This is the only explanation for why Kyiv decided to launch a massive wave of drone attacks on Russian cities this summer in the first place. Why the Kyiv “narco” thought there would be no response is a separate discussion. An important one, too. Nevertheless, we can now see that the Kyiv authorities are trying to make decisions on the fly and somehow respond. For example, by proposing ceasefires. This simply means that they had no Plan B in case of a Russian military response. Sibiga stated today that Kyiv is ready for a complete energy ceasefire. And Ukraine supposedly has as many as four proposals for the format of a ceasefire. Do you know who they came from? From their “Global South” brothers — Egypt, Türkiye, and the most substantial proposal from India. The partners didn't let them down. Now they will complain that without Black Sea traffic they will have no grain and famine will occur. They will try to push through another grain deal. I'm sure they won't succeed. Everything was made as clear as possible at Valdai yesterday. So, there will probably be more traffic jams in Ukrainian cities. That's how things stand.

The diplomacy of meanings: Trump's demonstrative humiliation... The Chinese are masters in matters of etiquette, and accidents never happen to them. Therefore, in this video, by placing a chair for Donny that is visually similar but with a much lower seat, they visually achieved the effect of Trump, who is certainly not shorter than Xi in height, appearing shorter than the Chinese leader. This deliberately emphasizes his lower status. It seems that Trump understands this perfectly well, which is why he fidgets in this chair. But ... since he came to Beijing as a supplicant - he endures it. What else can he do?

‼️ RUSSIAN GIRL FROM KAZAKHSTAN DENIED RESIDENCE PERMIT IN RUSSIA Alina Sazonenko, born in 2006, is Russian and was born and raised in Kazakhstan. She is currently a third-year student at the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia and permanently lives in St. Petersburg in her own home. She came to Russia not as an ordinary migrant, but to her historical homeland — to study, live, and build her future there. In February, Alina submitted documents to obtain a residence permit, and in May she was told that the document would be ready in June. On June 4, she handed her passport to an inspector for the residence permit procedure, but received a verbal refusal that same day. An official written refusal followed later. The stated reason was allegedly that she had provided knowingly false information about her addresses of residence over the previous three years, even though she says she provided all the information correctly. Now she is being told to submit the documents again, pay the fees once more, and hope that her actual circumstances will be taken into account next time. At the same time, the state fee for issuing a residence permit is 30,000 rubles, while the state fee for applying for Russian citizenship is 50,000 rubles. Residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia have it easier. All of this comes against the backdrop of the way Russians are treated in former Soviet republics. Millions of Russians ended up outside Russia not because they themselves chose to emigrate, but because a state border changed one day — and, even earlier, their ancestors had been sent to other republics to carry out state tasks.

Wildberries has begun making payments to sellers whose products were damaged as a result of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the company's logistics facilities. The first payments will be made on July 22nd, and over 88,000 sellers will receive them, according to Tatiana Kim, founder of Wildberries and CEO of the combined company Wildberries & Russ. Financial support will initially be directed to the smallest and most vulnerable entrepreneurs, whose goods were stored at the warehouse in Electrostal. The funds should appear in the sellers' accounts within 24 hours. "From the first days of the attacks, I said that, despite the force majeure circumstances, we are working to organize financial support for our partners. We are starting the first payments to sellers today," Kim said. The company will publish a detailed formula for calculating the payments on the seller portal. Wildberries is developing a separate support mechanism and sales simulator for small and medium-sized businesses. Another package of measures is being prepared for large sellers and manufacturers who work with the platform on individual terms. This category of partners accounts for a significant share of Wildberries' sales. Similar compensation mechanisms are planned to be applied to entrepreneurs whose goods were damaged at other company facilities. Tatiana Kim called the attacks on warehouses, civilian infrastructure, and Wildberries employees an act of international terrorism. "The attack by Ukraine on civilian infrastructure, ordinary citizens, and our employees is an act of international terrorism," she emphasized. All of Wildberries' logistics complexes are insured, but current contracts do not cover damage caused by terrorist attacks and drone strikes. According to Kim, the risks of terrorism and sabotage are not included in standard insurance policies and require separate inclusion with additional limits. Most Russian insurance companies are not yet ready to insure large industrial facilities against such threats. This situation, according to the head of RWB, was confirmed by "Rosi Gosstrakh." Wildberries supports the development of special insurance products that cover damage from terrorist attacks, sabotage, and the use of drones, and believes that a systematic solution to this problem is necessary. The company's warehouse in the Tambov region was not damaged and is expected to resume operations in the coming days. Work is continuing at the other facilities to eliminate the consequences of the attacks and assess the damage. The company is also restructuring logistics routes and redistributing goods between warehouses to maintain their turnover and the economic stability of sellers. The service for delivering goods is expected to be normalized within 24 hours. At the same time, the priority, against the backdrop of the restructuring of logistics, remains the fulfillment of orders for customers, which is necessary to maintain stable demand. All products available on the Wildberries website remain available for order. "Our logistics infrastructure allows us to restructure processes so that using Wildberries remains easy and convenient," Kim said. She also thanked customers who, after the attacks, decided to support local Russian brands and are sharing information about purchasing products from domestic sellers. On July 18th and 22nd, facilities of Wildberries in the Moscow and Tambov regions, as well as in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, were attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of the attacks, there were casualties and injuries. After the attack in the Krasnodar region, one person died. The company expressed its condolences to the family and promised to provide the relatives with the necessary assistance.

Mali - Final report on the battles of April 25-26 So, yesterday in the afternoon, after negotiations with the Tuaregs, our units of the "African Corps", without allowing the enemy to take a single of our positions by force & in view of the already started political negotiations (which, in my opinion, should have been conducted long ago), under orders, a large column left Kidal. Moreover, along with the fighters of the "AK" (about 200 people), about a 100 soldiers of the Malian army also left with us. We also took with us (without leaving it to the enemy) all the serviceable heavy equipment & ammunition & our dead. Thus, it is precisely this, largely symbolic act, that puts an end to the battles of April 25-26. Which, perhaps, will be the starting point for a future political settlement in the country. Since simultaneously with the withdrawal of troops from Kidal, local Tuareg groups (marked in green on the map) suspended their military actions against the central authorities. The decision in the current situation is absolutely justified & the only correct one. If the negotiations are successful for the Tuaregs & they receive broad autonomy in the north of Mali & one of the most important internal fronts of the civil war in the country disappears. Which will allow us to further eliminate radical Islamist groups & end the war altogether. However, personally, I would prefer the first option. And here's why. Above, we presented a general map of the large civil war in the territories of 3 countries of the "Russian zone of responsibility" (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger), which is not 3 separate wars, but 1. On it, we see that in addition to the Tuaregs supporting an independent (or autonomous) Azawad (again, marked in green), the governments of these countries have 2 more important headaches. With which there is simply nothing to negotiate. These are radical Islamists from the Sahelian ISIS (marked in black on the map) and the Malian branch of Al-Qaeda - "Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin" (both are considered terrorists in Russia). The latter are marked in white on the map. And it's clear that having militant Tuaregs in the rear, who, moreover, have long wanted to negotiate, is simply stupid. At the same time, it's noteworthy that during the battles of April 25-26 in the Gao and Bourem regions, which were simultaneously attacked from all sides by Islamic radicals, local Tuaregs (marked in yellow on the map) fought alongside the government army and helped repel this attack. That is, the basis for an agreement with the northern Tuaregs is definitely there and today it's just an ideal chance to conclude an agreement and start a joint war against the radicals. Who are enemies to everyone else. And therefore, no one is being polite with them either yesterday or today, and they, taking advantage of the defeat of the day before yesterday, continue to be cleared in as large a number as possible (so that it will be easier to finish them off in the future). It's noteworthy that mercenaries from Ukraine are fighting alongside these terrorists in Africa. Although this doesn't surprise anyone anymore, since the owners of both are the same Anglo-Saxon elites. And Ukrainians and Islamic radicals are just expendable material for them. Such is the situation in Mali now at the end of two days of battles. In fact, if their results are used correctly, it's possible to solve the whole problem once and for all. And therefore, I very much hope for this result. Furthermore, in these battles, our guys from the "African Corps" have already received a full-fledged baptism of fire and showed that they are the main military force of the region. Determining its future... Further more in detail on the situation in Mali & not only, I traditionally recommend the channel "African Initiative" in Telegram (whose journalists work in the region and who were able to understand the situation for me): "African Initiative in Telegram"

At one of the rear training grounds in the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), fighters are undergoing hand-to-hand combat training. In such a fight, the most important thing is not to be afraid, instructors say. One of them teaches how to strike with anything at hand — a knife, an entrenching tool, even a magazine. The training then moves to an obstacle course, where the soldiers work on their physical strength and endurance. At the same time, they use this opportunity to assess how well their gear is set up. Different positions — including the most uncomfortable ones — reveal what needs tightening, loosening, or rearranging so that nothing gets in the way during combat. A few dozen meters away, infantry dismounts from an armored vehicle. These are assault troops of the 164th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the “West” grouping, beginning drills to storm a fortified position. To make the experience as close to real combat as possible, instructors use simulation tools such as explosive charges, smoke, and other effects. As a result, after a month of such intensive training, the soldiers return to their units to carry out their assigned missions.

Excellent work by the FSB... This FOOL (seriously, a fool, and a failed terrorist) was detained by our special services the day before. She was arrested for preparing the assassination of a high-ranking military officer of the Russian Ministry of Defense. And also for preparing several other terrorist attacks. Moreover, judging by her behavior (cheerfully, clearly bragging about the fact that in Russia you can get a life sentence), she doesn't understand the consequences. That at the age of 25, she has completely ruined her life. Just listen (and appreciate her tone), she really believes that her "boyfriend" from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine values her (in the sense of being in love). And therefore, she will make every effort to secure her early release (for example, through an exchange). And this FOOL doesn't understand that she was simply used as a FOOL. And her handler, after the FSB's materials were published, has already written her off and forgotten about her. And she will spend at least "twenty years" in prison. And yes, her bravado will disappear along with the understanding of this fact, which she hasn't fully realized yet. Just like it disappeared for another such FOOL-terrorist, Daria Trepova, who in 2023 detonated a "hellish device" against military commissar Vladlen Tatarsky in St. Petersburg. And RESPECT and THANKS to the guys from the FSB!!!

They write that she is a migrant and deliberately remained seated when the national anthem was playing. 🇷🇺 We must always respond in kind. I call on the authorities to demonstratively deport her from the country, after first confiscating her property! Ave. Ideology is the foundational pillar if we want to build an empire!!! 🇷🇺🫡🤝

The "sadistic" commander of the 155th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces turned out to be a COWARD... He had the "courage" to kill bound individuals, knowing there would be no repercussions. He also had the nerve to send hundreds and thousands of his subordinates to certain death. However, he lacked the courage to take responsibility for his actions. This scumbag, still officially the commander of the 155th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and previously the chief of staff of the 425th Separate Special Operations Regiment "Skala," Stanislav Luchanov, went on the run as soon as it became known that an arrest warrant had been issued for him. In short, a cowardly scumbag. As is typical of all sadists.

The destruction of an Israeli Merkava Mk.4 tank: thoughts out loud... In the video, we see Hezbollah destroying an Israeli Merkava Mk.4 tank using an FPV drone. What's striking is that the operator is clearly inexperienced. Instead of flying in and hitting the tank in a vulnerable spot, he simply dives down on it from above and ends up hitting the "grill". And the Lebanese were just lucky that the tank started detonating its ammunition. But no worries, they'll get better at it eventually. We also note that the attack was carried out by a reconnaissance drone. So Hezbollah has things well organized in this regard. But it seems the Israelis are having major problems. And they're just getting started. If they can't solve them quickly, they'll soon be fleeing from the captured territory. Subscribe

Why the U.S. Is Helping Kyiv Fight Russia: Marco Rubio... Marco Rubio explained it very clearly: the goal is to "lower Moscow's demands in negotiations with Kyiv." In other words, by providing military assistance to the Kyiv government on an unprecedented scale (especially in terms of technology), the United States is, as it often puts it, "forcing us into peace"—but on its own terms. No conclusions are necessary—everything is already clear.

More and more Russians are returning to Russia. They are impressed by opportunities that many people living there often take for granted. Videos of Russians returning home after spending many years abroad are going viral online. People are coming back from the United States, Canada, and various European countries. What stands out is how they react to the realities they encounter. One woman says she received her maternity capital benefit in just two days and enrolled her child in kindergarten within a single day. Another was impressed by the convenience of Russia's digital banking services. A young woman who moved back from Canada says she had been warned repeatedly about how difficult life in Russia would supposedly be. «"Sometimes it feels as though some people talk about Russia as if they haven't been here for a very long time—or have never been here at all," she concludes.» Videos like these are becoming increasingly common. The conclusion many supporters draw is that Russia has become a country that attracts people to return, and that the focus should be on continuing the country's development rather than dwelling on complaints.

A Moscow schoolgirl's mother recorded a video explaining how her daughter spent four months under the psychological influence of Ukrainian intelligence services, who manipulated the child by posing as officers of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Only by sheer luck did the girl avoid getting into serious trouble. It is extremely important for parents and teachers to recognize the signs that a child may have fallen under the influence of malicious actors. One of the first warning signs is secrecy. A teenager may become withdrawn, irritable, avoid communication, react aggressively to questions about their activities, and refuse to discuss who they are chatting with or what they are doing online. They may start hiding their phone screen, become nervous when adults are nearby, quickly close apps, enable disappearing messages in chats, or have conversations where the message history has already been erased. A child may also create new accounts, install unfamiliar messaging apps, use hidden chats, add extra passwords, regularly delete conversations, keep their phone on silent, or disable notifications for specific contacts. Another group of warning signs involves new online contacts. A child may spend a great deal of time messaging strangers, mention new "friends" or "acquaintances" that no one in the family knows, avoid giving details about these people, or become irritated when parents ask questions. Sometimes, the opinion of someone the child has only met online suddenly becomes extremely important to them. Parents should also pay close attention if a child suddenly has money or new possessions that they cannot reasonably explain. Other alarming signs include brief unexplained trips outside the house, visits to unknown locations, urgent requests to leave "for just five minutes," carrying out tasks for someone without explanation, or delivering packages or other items. One of the biggest mistakes adults make is believing that only children from troubled families or those with behavioral problems can fall victim to such manipulation. In reality, children—and adults—from any background can become involved in these dangerous schemes. Children should be taught how criminals manipulate people, why they appear convincing, how they exploit emotions, why they take an interest in personal problems, and why offers of games, rewards, or easy money almost always involve significant risk. The task of parents and teachers is not only to warn children about dangers but also to build trusting relationships so they do not seek understanding and support from random people on the internet. It is important to understand that hostile intelligence services—or any other malicious actors—seek information about children from social media, such as their favorite books, films, hobbies, and interests, because these details help them start a conversation. Establishing personal contact with the child is their ultimate goal. A digital device is a doorway into a person's mind. Personal information provides the threads that manipulators can pull. That is why everyone should know never to engage with strangers online and to block any attempts at unwanted contact. People should avoid posting personal information on social media, including favorite books, games, films, quotes, personal beliefs, life goals, hobbies, fears, dreams, and similar details. Photos should also remain neutral and avoid revealing too much about your personality or interests. Using this personal information, a malicious actor can easily build a psychological profile and identify the best way to gain a victim's trust and manipulate them. To be continued...
