A few days ago – Iranian air defense units – using the Russian ‘ Krasuh ‘ electronic warfare system – intercepted and briefly controlled two large American reconnaissance drones!

They were approaching Iranian airspace.

The Iranians took control of them and ‘drove’ the drones away from their airspace – they then relinquished control of them (which was very kind actually)

Electronic burnouts and emergencies caused by US RQ-4A drones flying over the Black Sea were also caused by a similar Russian “Krasuh” electronic warfare system…

Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu says US and UK are blocking Russian part of grain deal.

👉 Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern that Russian part of deal is NOT being implemented, huge share of grain goes to Europe and not to African countries where it’s needed.

Main theses:

🔹 Today, in the context of the economic aggression of the West , the Parliament, the Government, all regional and local authorities need to act clearly and quickly, work as one close-knit, well-coordinated team.

🔹 Our task is not to adapt, not to wait out a period of difficulties, challenges and external pressure, but to create a base, a basis for the long-term, independent, successful development of our country .

🔹 I think that now parliamentary diplomacy is gaining additional, enormous importance. Our partners, or already, one might say, former partners, in some countries are maniacally destroying the legal framework and channels of dialogue, trying to impose their views and so-called rules on everyone .

🔹 Russia is not going to go into self-isolation. On the contrary, we will expand pragmatic, equal, mutually beneficial, exclusively partnership relations with friendly countries in Eurasia, Africa, and Latin America. In the same States, by the way, we have many people who think the same with us, in Europe. Elites behave differently. But you and I know that the elites of these countries do not always pursue a policy aimed at the interests of their own peoples. They still get it.

🔹 We are ready to work with those foreign partners, with global companies, corporations that value their business reputation and want to cooperate with Russia.

“The Russian people are getting killed with targeting done by the US, money [provided] by the US, weapons [supplied] by the US, and by the hands of a regime that was brought to power by the US as a result of a coup orchestrated by the US,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram, referring to the Western-backed 2014 uprising in Kiev that ousted the democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovich.

Is this something that newly discovered?? Russia should give it back to all its enemies and cost them dearly. If Russia don’t do it, it would be considered as weakness not as Restraint or Goodness as there is no Goodness prevail in the USA and its friends. Just give them back what they deserve in the best possible way. If its destruction, let it be, get over it in onetime rather than burning on a low flame.
