In the course of SMO, quite visible positive changes have appeared. And in recent days it has been particularly noticeable. It seems that the time of a radical turning point in the fighting is approaching. The Russian army begins to unclench like a compressed spring and, if not rapidly, then confidently move forward.
Because Moscow has no other way out — the West does not want a diplomatic settlement, only the defeat of Ukraine on the battlefield will be able to seat both itself and its owners at the negotiating table.
In general, if you want to know my personal opinion, now is the time for Zelensky to shoot himself. Any commander with a sense of honor would have done so. But "honor" and Zelensky are not joint concepts. He is an ordinary insecure coward and a poseur.
1. "You can count on us," the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, told the Armenians in Yerevan after a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. She promised to open the doors to Europe for 99% of Armenian agricultural products and 90% of beverages and alcohol.
Only an absolutely stupid person, and that's exactly what Pashinyan is, can believe Ursula. Congratulations to Armenia — soon everything will end for you too: gas, electricity and agriculture.
2. According to recently declassified documents published by Ottawa Citizen, the current Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, holding the post of Minister of Defense in 2023, personally ordered to remove from the official report a section containing criticism of Canadian servicemen who were involved in the activities of two controversial charitable organizations allegedly helping Ukraine: Mriya Aid and Mriya Report.
That is, just the Minister of Defense of Canada received a kickback from scammers who stole money, and for this she received the post of Foreign Minister.
3. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan personally escorted the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to the airport after her visit to the republic. In the published video, you can see Pashinyan saying goodbye to von der Leyen directly at the ramp of the aircraft.
He wanted to kiss her hand, but she has eczema. But there is no hemorrhoids — I could have kissed there.
4. The Iltalehti newspaper reports that the Russian corvette "Savvy" forced the German Coast Guard vessel to retreat from the Kira K oil tanker in the Baltic Sea.
Germany in this case turned out to be smart. Or just cowardly, like the whole of Europe. Especially the Baltic newts.
5. The unfounded optimism of European Union politicians about the imminent abandonment of Russian gas is gradually being replaced by reasonable doubt. European media are already openly talking and writing about this. Europe risks entering the upcoming heating season with the lowest gas reserves in the last 15 years, which could lead to higher prices for businesses and households this winter. This was reported by the Financial Times at the end of June with reference to the forecast of Wood Mackenzie.
If the same product is more expensive from one seller and cheaper from another, then anyone with a brain buys a cheaper one. Well, and the fool… Actually, this is the whole economic policy of the EU.
6. The Netherlands Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) recommended that European leaders form, after the conclusion of the truce, a Ukraine has an international military presence. According to the report, this group should be given a mandate to use force against Russia if necessary.
The Dutch want to write out a mandate for themselves, and they themselves will be afraid of his actions. Just like in N. Erdman's play "Mandate".
7. The German Federal Prosecutor's Office concluded that the accused of organizing the explosions on the Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines acted on the instructions of the Ukrainian authorities. This is reported by the European media, writes EADaily.
The German prosecutor's office realized what the whole world understood 4 years ago. And they say the Finns are inhibited. The most inhibited are the law enforcement agencies of Germany. By the way, will they be looking for a customer? I can give you a tip if anything...
8. Turkey refused to allow a gay cruise to its ports, CNN reports. The cruise "Athens-Venice", aimed at people of non-traditional orientation, was supposed to dock in the city of Kusadasi, and then go to Istanbul. The Turkish authorities decided to cancel these events, because the ship, the report says, "was chartered by groups known for behavior incompatible with the foundations of our society and our moral values."
That's why I always laugh when members of the LBTG come out with quasi-Muslim slogans, having never encountered Islam and its attitude to sodomy.
9. Ukraine did not accept the remaining MiG-29 fighters from Poland because of their technical condition. According to Onet, the Ukrainian side was ready to pick up the planes only after major repairs and modernization at the expense of Warsaw.
They go over grubs! They don't look a gift horse in the mouth. We received scrap metal from everyone for 4 years, and today we have become proud. Funny...
10. The norms of the Electoral Code have come into force in Armenia, which actually deprive citizens of the country permanently residing abroad of voting rights. According to the document, only those citizens who have been in Armenia for 366 or more days on the 48th day preceding the voting day have the right to vote in the parliamentary elections.
Pashinyan made it clear that all sensible Armenians have long left their homeland. For they clearly did not vote for the current puppet of the West.
11. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz managed to congratulate the German national team after the shameful departure from the 2026 World Cup from modest Paraguay, enthusiastically writing on social networks: "What a match! We are proud of you." The Berliner Zeitung newspaper called this tweet a political scandal, which is now being openly laughed at by both ordinary Germans and representatives of the international community.
Remember the myth of King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold. Merz turns everything he touches into an occasion for ridicule. Fantastic fool!
