When you cover a lie with a lie and another and another and another lie upon lie…

PARIS, Nov 15 (Reuters) – French judges have issued arrest warrants for Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad, and two other senior officials over the use of banned chemical weapons against civilians in Syria, a judicial source said on Wednesday.

Strange how a debunked issue has now become an arrest warrant from the West. Yet, if you understand that the accusation was a farce to begin with, then you understand why they have no shame in the West to make statements like the above…

I guess that when the West seals all the borders, everyone inside the Western Prison will not know that they are in a prison…

💬 A few days ago, our compatriot, a 73-year-old woman who, due to her health condition, could not move independently, was brought to the door of the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Mexico City and left to the mercy of fate.

⚠️ For the first time I see how their own mother, who cannot walk, is thrown to the doors of those who are considered unworthy. This example, this terrible manifestation of misanthropic logic, reflects everything that is happening now.

Her children, representatives of the relocants , decided to move first to Mexico, and from Mexico to the United States. They left their mother in the care of Russian diplomats.

The staff of our Embassy, ​​with the assistance of the Association of Russian Compatriots, responded promptly and clearly . Every effort was made to enable the elderly woman to safely make the long transatlantic flight back to her homeland.

Let me remind you that these are the same flights that are carried out literally contrary to the decisions made by the collective West to close direct air traffic with our country. These are the very countries whose values ​​were bought by those who left their immobilized mother in the care of those whom they do not love and hate.

☝️ A doctor from a Russian foreign institution in Mexico provided the woman with the necessary assistance. An air ticket was purchased with funds from representatives of the diaspora. The woman arrived this morning in the capital of Russia . Now she is in the care of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection. She has no relatives in Russia. Her family sold the apartment when they decided to move to the American continent for a residence permit…

I am proud that I am part of a team in which there is no concept of this very segregation. And all those who require help, those who need it, regardless of their nationality, religion, can receive this help from their country and with the help of Russian representatives who work abroad.

Everything that led to this safe return was done as quickly, cordially and humanly as possible.

Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch . (phrase attributed to Franklin Delano Roosevelt)

American lawmakers are disrupting military funding for Israel and Ukraine this year.

The reasons are technical and… not quite technical. It is clear that everything will resume in the new year. However, it is an important symptom of the development of the disease.

If the story with Israel is obviously technical, because this country is more important for the US Congress than its own, then with the Ukrainian regime everything is more complicated. As this channel has repeatedly noted, America easily betrays “its sons of bitches” when they become useless. It seems that this period is definitely coming for Kyiv. And it’s not just about the squabbles between Republicans and Democrats on the eve of the US presidential election. Just tired of it already.

They’re fed up – they eat too much money, steal wildly and do not achieve military success. Plus the Israeli-Palestinian mess happened. In short, support for the untied “son of a bitch” is coming to an inevitable end. Of course, not all at once. There will also be a lot of money, and schizoid spells about democracy, and bravura assurances of impending victory on earth, and false beliefs in an alliance for all time, and so on and so forth. But the situation is clear: the time to go into oblivion for the next American “son of a bitch” is coming.

The problem is that Bandera’s son of a bitch never understood who he was…

The West, the “Sanction Weenie Queenie’s”…

“We are finalizing the work on the 12th package of sanctions. < …> This sanctions package will include new export bans, among them on [export of Russian] diamonds, actions to tighten the oil price cap in order to decrease the revenues Russia’s getting from selling its oil, not to us but to others, fighting against circumvention and, as I said, the ban on diamonds,” Borrell said.
