MQ, <<Russia has to continue to conquer criminal stupidity, because the criminally stupid continue their onslaught. It's a fascinating process of brain malfunction.>> ... and what followed in your interpretation be some radical takes. I remain agnostic but am watchful, alertly so. BTW, re agnostic and watchful, I was very much surprised, a in floored, by one narration tabled during recent and just-completed journey to Turkey, that Message 34367978 by shared meal conversation I was told by locals that they pervasively believe they the Turkish somehow originated from China and I argued against them that I believed it be the other way around, that the Chinese Turks originated from Turkey, but of course and naturally, as in intuitively obvious even if quite wrong You can imagine the surprised state I was put in when did cursory fact-check, as in, oh golly, dah and duh, how the fck did I mess up so very badly ? Are the modern turks the back-wash of migration eastward whilst on way trying for Siberia ? IOW, I messed up big time, as in 'ugely, unbelievably, irresponsibly, and must correct earlier imparted view to my invited diners and my kids before it is too late, as in now-now-now I might have made same sort of mistaken take before and fault is with MSM, when I once believed <<Russia*>> STEM was the result of Russia Jews per MSM, but in 2019 was told otherwise by Russians that I was wrong to extremely wrong. Am remaining agnostic but been watching, as the where how when who and how much China engagement with Israel and Russia might matter quite a bit stretching back and going forward for when facts change we best change along with the facts, UFOs and all, whatever the controversy turkish origin china

Forget <<Crimea>> for the moment, for Niger going potentially hot, as tee-ed up by, arguably by Wagner-ians of same in Ukraine this Niger Message 34374744 in case you missed bloomberg.com Niger Closes Its Airspace as It Warns of a Foreign Attack - An Ecowas deadline threatening to use force expired on Sunday - Niger junta so far refuses to hand power back to civilians Junta leader General Abdourahmane Tchiani speaks at the demonstration of coup supporters in Niamey on Aug. 6. Photographer: Mohamed Bazum/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images Niger’s junta partially closed the country’s airspace, warning of an attack by a “foreign power” as a deadline passed on Sunday to reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum. The deadline, imposed by West African neighbors, threatened intervention, though there was no sign of any military action as yet. Coup leaders said, however, action against them was unfolding. “The planning for this war was carried out,” junta spokesman Amadou Abdramane said on state broadcaster Tele Sahel. “A pre-deployment of forces to participate in this war has begun in two countries in central Africa.” He provided no further details. Niger on Sunday said it had closed its airspace for international flights except for a few countries including Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mali, Libya and Chad that have spoken out against a military intervention. “Any state from which military action is directed against Niger will be considered pro-belligerent,“ Abdramane said. West Africa’s defense chiefs agreed to a plan for a potential military intervention in Abuja on Friday after a three-day meeting of regional defense officials. It was unclear on Sunday at what time Ecowas, as the 15-member bloc is known, would consider the deadline to reinstate Bazoum to have passed. Any intervention was complicated over the weekend by the Senate in neighboring Nigeria, which urged diplomacy over military action, at least for now. The junta that took power in a July 26 coup has rejected all calls to restore democracy and warned against any foreign interference. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the capital, Niamey on Sunday, in support of the coup leaders. General Abdourahamane Tiani declared himself Niger’s new leader on July 28, two days after the presidential guard he leads detained Bazoum. Ecowas on July 30 closed the borders with Niger and later set Aug. 6 as a deadline to restore democracy. Niger is a key international ally in the fight against jihadists who have killed thousands and displaced millions across the region over the past decade. The coup creates a belt of military-run countries that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, many of them less friendly with the West than they are with Russia, which has made inroads in the region in recent years partly through the Wagner Group. The US government is pausing certain foreign assistance programs benefiting the government of Niger, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week.

Re <<Russia ... Crimea ... Ukraine ...>> etc "The DD Geopolitics team sits down with Ukrainian documentarian and filmmaker Igor Lopatonok to discuss his newest film "Agent Zelensky" narrated and presented by Scott Ritter about the 10 promises and policies Zelensky is implementing and why. Igor explains the deep origins of the strategy to divide and weaken the Russian nation by turning part of it against itself, the cultural roots of similarity and difference between Ukraine and Russia, Viktor Yushchenko as the original and failed messiah, which US government department influences which Ukrainian official, Ukraine's quest to acquire nuclear weapons, the persecution of the Orthodox Church and why Plast' is so totally not sus'.

Re <<annexed ... isolated>> etc etc Given that Minsk II was a ruse self-admitted by 'collective-west' and Kiev regime, so unclear to me what be the basis of negotiations this time around, but am remaining agnostic and wait to see t.me Saudi Arabia, which organized a meeting in Jeddah to facilitate a settlement in Ukraine, along with several other countries, has put forth its own peace plan, as reported by DPA. According to the agency, the plan includes a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, preservation of Ukraine's territorial integrity, and the initiation of peaceful negotiations under the supervision of the United Nations. Talks about Ukraine are not necessary until "Kiev pleads for mercy", stated Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. Commenting on the Jeddah meeting, he emphasized that the negotiation process will only succeed with the participation of both conflict parties and the consideration of existing realities. Moscow will discuss the outcomes of the consultations in Jeddah with BRICS partners, stated Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia. He is confident that Western attempts to mobilize the Global South in support of Kiev's "peace plan" are destined to fail. There is currently no basis for an agreement with Kiev, and Moscow will continue its special military operation in the foreseeable future, stated Peskov to The New York Times. When asked if Russia plans to annex new territories of Ukraine, he said, "No. We only want to control all territories that are currently specified in our constitution as ours."
