I would like to mention that the United States (USA) remains the only country whom still possesses chemical weapons, which, despite the offering by other countries to help in the disposal, having adequate financial capabilities, and that the rest of the world has even complied themselves with the mandates of removal…

The USA has and is delaying the completion of the destruction of its declared stocks of illegal chemical weapons in every way possible…

This is a serious threat to humanity and a serious violation of international law…

Typical nasty USA attutude toward the world at large…

It is cold, it is hard ice packed everywhere, and it is a rough walk to where the chickadees gather by the hundreds…

Very very nasty slick roads…

Our main feeder in the woods…

Empty sunflower seeds, everywhere…

We created a spot in the deep woods, about a 5 kilometer walk from home. It has many chickadees whom love it now…

I call them the, “Pigadees”…

Went back next day and fed next day early…

and…

We have happy Pigadees…

Yes, Chickadees…

This is regarding the comparison of the policy of the United States and its allies towards Moscow with the actions of A. Hitler

💬 The statement of the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy J. Borrell regarding the comparison of the policy of the United States and its allies towards Moscow with the actions of A. Hitler, cited by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation S.V. Lavrov during a press conference on January 18, sounds hypocritical, especially against the backdrop of racist statements by the head of EU diplomacy, who divided the world into a “flowering garden” inhabited by “a billion citizens of the EU and the United States”, and the “jungle” advancing on it, as well as the EU’s open support for the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime. Since 2014, the armed forces of Ukraine and nationalist battalions have been shelling with impunity the peaceful cities of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Russia, killing civilians, including. children. At the same time, the EU is training Ukrainian Armed Forces militants, preparing to supply even more weapons and military equipment, which will continue to be used to destroy civilians. The EU members declare that there are no parallels, but they themselves turn a blind eye to the swastikas on the chevrons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Nazi flags and the very symbols with which the Europeans barbarously invaded our lands more than 80 years ago.

<…>

Once again, we see how individual organizations are trying to push different nations and peoples together. We have to remind you that it was our people that more than 80 years ago stood up to protect humanity from the plague of fascism, misanthropy, Nazism and aggressive imperialist militarism, without dividing it into nationalities. While the Nazis were persecuting Slavs, Jews, Gypsies and other nations in the same gas chamber, our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought the Wehrmacht and freed the prisoners of concentration camps. It is their memory that we sacredly honor and will honor for centuries. We must not forget that January 27 is annually celebrated in the world as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day precisely as a token of gratitude to the soldiers of the Red Army who liberated the prisoners of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz (Auschwitz-Birkenau) on that day in 1944. At the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, we were faced with the desire to discredit the role of our country in the fight against Nazism and neo-Nazism, with outright Russophobia and calls for the “abolition of Russia”. Any attempt to rehabilitate Nazism, racist practices must be resolutely opposed. This is what should unite peoples, not divide them.

☝️ In the ranks of the Red Army, as well as other armies of the anti-Hitler coalition, hundreds of thousands of Jews fought against the Nazis. During the Great Patriotic War, about 501,000 Jewish soldiers served in the army. <…>

Ignoring the so-called “democratic coalition” of the West of the glorification by the modern Ukrainian regime of the Nazis who committed crimes in Lvov, Babi Yar, Khatyn, ignoring the facts of the use of Nazi slogans, Nazi symbols and names in honor of SS divisions at the state level and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a distortion of the memory of the Holocaust and Nazi victims. Just like the numerous unpunished crimes against the Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine and the statements of Ukrainian politicians that the murder of the maximum number of Russians is the goal of their struggle and existence.

❓ I would like to ask where were such structures as the EJC when they demolished the monuments to the soldiers-liberators in Europe; when the Nazis marched through the capitals of precisely European cities under anti-Semitic symbols and with Judeophobic slogans; when exactly did the Europeans try to torpedo our resolution at the UN on combating the glorification of Nazism?

❗️ It is never too late to admit your mistakes and make the right moral choice, therefore we call on Europe to raise its voice to fight anti-Semitism, Russophobia and other manifestations of discriminatory policies against certain nationalities and ethnic groups.

What Russia does not want is its set borders close to NATO – which is precisely why they asked politely for guarantees and then were forced to attacked “NATO” in Ukraine – it was becoming full fledged NATO on Russia’s borders. Years of NATO build up and billions and billions of dollars being pumped into Ukraine  to build a huge army…

What Russia wants though (since the West acted the fool) is the Russian military stationed next to NATO. i.e., Poland, Romania, and EU etc. In a position to counter NATO’s military both in terms of ground threat and in terms of those Aegis Ashore installations. You counter missile threats by putting your air defenses as close to them as possible in order to intercept them in boost phase rather than terminal phase to minimize the issue of “stragglers”. And 250-400,000 Russian troops in western Ukraine will make it highly unlikely NATO will ever be able to threaten a ground invasion, a la Ukraine. And if they do, they have to,

1) Beat the Russian Military District there (Ukraine) first, and then,

2) Cross all of Ukraine to get to Russia.

and

3) Not gonna happen…

Tomorrow, at NATO’s Ramstein base, the great military leaders will discuss new tactics and strategies, as well as the supply of new heavy weapons and strike systems to Ukraine. And this was right after the forum in Davos, where underdeveloped political party-goers repeated like a mantra: “To achieve peace, Russia must lose.”

And it never occurs to any of the poor to draw the following elementary conclusion from this: the loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the outbreak of a nuclear war. The nuclear powers did not lose major conflicts on which their fate depends.

But this should be obvious to anyone. Even to a Western politician who has retained at least some trace of intelligence.

It doesn’t feel like a war. Because simply, it is nothing near a real war…

Yet, if Russia does declare war, a real war? A war will be declared upon NATO, when Russia does declare war…

Nobody, noone and nothing on earth wants to experience that moment…

Yet, it would be a sight to see and experience…

Gotta love it…
