Russian MOD: Ukie False-Flag Using Chemical Weapons Leak
In Sumy, a planned provocation of Ukrainian nationalists was carried out at night. The Russian Defence Ministry officially warned about this provocation a few days ago.
??According to the head of Sumy regional Administration, there was an ammonia leak at Sumyhimprom plant. There is no threat to the residents of Sumy, since the air masses were moving “not towards the city.”
??Let me remind you that back on March 19, we officially warned about the mining of this enterprise by Ukrainian nationalists to commit a provocation in order to accuse Russia of allegedly using “chemical weapons”.
??I want to emphasize once again that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have not planned and are not striking any Ukrainian facilities for the storage or production of toxic substances. The coordinates of all such objects and data on the toxic substances stored there on the territory of Ukraine were obtained by us during the seizure of the combat documentation of the 4th Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard.”
??The Kiev nationalist regime is directly responsible for any possible incidents with Ukrainian storage facilities of toxic substances.”
Col. Douglas McGregor: Donors, NeoCons Want To Prolong War To Topple Putin
CLARIFICATION: I doubt that a senior Pentagon official is going to be perfectly candid about US military capabilities in public at any time, let alone now. The same goes for a Russian official.
ORIGINAL POST
Colonel Douglas McGregor, former advisor to the Secretary of Defense and once one of NATO’s top strategists, talks with the Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate on the Ukraine war.
McGregor says the Russians have done what they intended to do, which is destroy the Ukrainian military [for the most part], without too many civilian casualties. The war is over as far as that goes. He says Putin has tried to minimize civilian casualties, the diametric opposite of what the Western media reports. He adds that both the Ukrainians and international volunteers are now simply cannon-fodder used by NATO to prolong the war in any way to destablize Russia, but that isn’t working, because polls show 70% popular support for Putin.
McGregor thinks about 2000 Russian soldiers dead is a plausible figure, although there is no confirmation, but the Ukie numbers for their own dead are propaganda. A large quantity of foreign military equipment has been captured. Whatever foreign equipment is shipped in is useless anyway as the Ukrainians cannot use it.
Russia’s demands are minimal: Ukraine must renounce their claim on Crimea [which is historically Russian anyway], recognize the Donbas as Russian, stay out of NATO and refrain developing nukes.
The Russians have tried to avoid the central portion of Ukraine, which is the agricultural region where the spring planting is about to begin. The Russians don’t want to destroy the wheat and barley. In Mariupol, however, the Ukrainians are not allowing 3000 civilians to leave through humanitarian corridors, so a disaster is in the making. McGregor argues that any Western interference in Ukraine, including the imposition of no fly zones, will lead to horizontal and vertical escalation of the war and the use of nuclear weapons, whose fall-out will spread by wind as far as Japan and Korea. He says the strike on a NATO base near the Polish border was a message by Putin to Poland to stay out of the conflict or become a target themselves.
McGregor says the Russians are behind the USA in detection capabilities so they tend to be paranoid and might make a mistake and believe a launch was imminent, when it was not, especially as it is not possible for them to know if US B52’s are carrying nuclear or non-nuclear devices. The unraveling of arms control treaties has also fueled distrust of the US.
Nonetheless, McGregor points out that the president has made good decisions in saying no to a no-fly zone or to boots-on-the-ground and most of the top brass also do not want war, as they know the US military is not up to the task. But the donors run the uniparty, and they, as well as the neocons and the “bombs-away club,” the American exceptionalists, do want war. McGregor doesn’t see why the winning side, Russia would want a false flag, but Ukraine or NATO might well engineer one as a last-ditch effort to widen the war.
Unlike the British empire which practiced “economy of enemies” and tried to see whom they could work with, American elitist Marxists believe in their supreme virtue and demonize and bully anyone who doesn’t fall in line, such as China. They are Wilsonians to the extreme.

A NY Times investigative reporter is caught on video admitting he knew the January 6 protest was not such a big deal, which means his reports about it were deliberately misleading.
Solzhenitsyn: Walk Away From the Gangrene
Live Not By Lies
Monday, February 18, 1974
Following is the full text of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s essay ``Live Not By Lies.” It is perhaps the last thing he wrote on his native soil [before the collapse of the Soviet Union] and circulated among Moscow’s intellectuals [at that time]. The essay is dated Feb. 12, the day that secret police broke into his apartment and arrested him. The next day he was exiled to West Germany.
“At one time we dared not even to whisper. Now we write and read samizdat, and sometimes when we gather in the smoking room at the Science Institute we complain frankly to one another: What kind of tricks are they playing on us, and where are they dragging us? gratuitous boasting of cosmic achievements while there is poverty and destruction at home. Propping up remote, uncivilized regimes. Fanning up civil war. And we recklessly fostered Mao Tse-tung at our expense– and it will be we who are sent to war against him, and will have to go. Is there any way out? And they put on trial anybody they want and they put sane people in asylums–always they, and we are powerless.
Things have almost reached rock bottom. …..We fear only to lag behind the herd and to take a step alone-and suddenly find ourselves without white bread, without heating gas and without a Moscow registration……
When violence intrudes into peaceful life, its face glows with self-confidence, as if it were carrying a banner and shouting: “I am violence. Run away, make way for me–I will crush you.” But violence quickly grows old. And it has lost confidence in itself, and in order to maintain a respectable face it summons falsehood as its ally–since violence lays its ponderous paw not every day and not on every shoulder. It demands from us only obedience to lies and daily participation in lies–all loyalty lies in that.
And the simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation lies right here: Personal non-participation in lies. Though lies conceal everything, though lies embrace everything, but not with any help from me.
This opens a breach in the imaginary encirclement caused by our inaction. It is the easiest thing to do for us, but the most devastating for the lies. Because when people renounce lies it simply cuts short their existence. Like an infection, they can exist only in a living organism.
We do not exhort ourselves. We have not sufficiently matured to march into the squares and shout the truth our loud or to express aloud what we think. It’s not necessary. It’s dangerous. But let us refuse to say that which we do not think…..
Our path is to walk away from the gangrenous boundary. If we did not paste together the dead bones and scales of ideology, if we did not sew together the rotting rags, we would be astonished how quickly the lies would be rendered helpless and subside. That which should be naked would then really appear naked before the whole world.
.. Either truth or falsehood: Toward spiritual independence or toward spiritual servitude….
And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul- don’t let him be proud of his`progressive” views, and don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a merited figure, or a general–let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and warm.
Even this path, which is the most modest of all paths of resistance, will not be easy for us. But it is much easier than self-immolation or a hunger strike: The flames will not envelope your body, your eyeballs, will not burst from the heat, and brown bread and clean water will always be available to your family…….
It will not be an easy choice for a body, but it is only one for a soul. Not, it is not an easy path. But there are already people, even dozens of them, who over the years have maintained all these points and live by the truth.
So you will not be the first to take this path, but will join those who have already taken it. This path will be easier and shorter for all of us if we take it by mutual efforts and in close rank. If there are thousands of us, they will not be able to do anything with us. If there are tens of thousands of us, then we would not even recognize our country…..
And if we get cold feet, even taking this step, then we are worthless and hopeless, and the scorn of Pushkin should be directed to us:“Why should cattle have the gifts of freedom? Their heritage from generation to generation is the belled yoke and the lash.”
