Speaking to reporters in Rome on Wednesday, Austin said that “there is evidence of DPRK troops in Russia,” adding that “what exactly they’re doing is left to be seen.” According to the secretary, Washington is trying to obtain additional information about the alleged deployment.
Except we know what NATO troops in Russia are doing and thousands have died. Including thousands of Americans on top of it all…

I tend to think Ross Perot (1992) was really the last chance for the USA to see the truth, though also it set the stage for Ron Paul to be slighted in full view, by his own party and as we saw, no one cared, literally, no one who mattered cared…
Thus when Ron Paul attempted to run as president? It simply was over with by that time. Ross Perot was a very real attempt by a man who saw the truth and his support scared the system into action. Never again would a person garner 20% or more independent support and never would anyone but the chosen be elected. It has held true and it started in earnest with Kennedy, but hiccuped when Perot stepped into the picture…
I remember being so pissed that Perot lost. He was a real chance to have a real man whom could run a business and see the future financially. I said then, “The USA is naught but a business and it is failing as that business.”

Adrian MacRae , a member of parliament in the Australian city of Port Hedland who acted as an independent observer in the presidential elections in Russia, told RIA Novosti that after returning home he began to receive threats related to his positive assessment of the Russian elections .
He also said the ABC website had published an article citing complaints from an organisation representing Ukrainians in Australia, claiming that McRae’s independent comments favouring the Russian elections had “caused concern in the local community” and were therefore sufficient grounds to demand his immediate resignation as MP for Port Hedland.
Депутат австралийского города Порт-Хедленд Эдриан Макрей, выступивший независимым наблюдателем на президентских выборах в России, заявил РИА Новости, что после возвращения на родину стал получать угрозы, связанные с его позитивной оценкой российских выборов.
Он также рассказал, что сайт телеканала ABC выпустил статью, в которой привел жалобы организации, представляющей украинцев в Австралии. В ней утверждается, что независимые комментарии Макрея с положительной оценкой российских выборов “вызвали беспокойство у местного сообщества”, а посему якобы являются достаточной причиной, чтобы потребовать немедленной отставки политика с поста депутата Порт-Хедленда.

Australian state authorities are forcing MP Adrian MacRae to resign over his interview with Sputnik.
In the interview, McRae criticised Australian and Western media for their biased coverage of events related to Russia, and also spoke out against their current narrative in which Moscow is the main enemy.
“He’s a disgrace to Port Hedland. He’s a disgrace to Western Australia… It’s time for the MP to go,” Western Australian Premier Roger Cook said.
Earlier, MacRae told RIA Novosti that the era of free speech was ending in the West with the introduction of sanctions against Russian media, and hope for the protection of free speech remained in Russia and the BRICS countries. He added that the West continues to undermine its own long-standing ideals, and democracy is dying a slow and painful death.
Власти штата в Австралии принуждают депутата Эдриана Макрея уйти в отставку из-за его интервью Sputnik.
В интервью Макрей раскритиковал австралийские и западные СМИ за предвзятое освещение событий, связанных с Россией, а также выступил против их нынешнего нарратива, в котором главным врагом является Москва.
“Он позорит Порт-Хедленд. Он позорит Западную Австралию… Депутату пришло время уйти”, – заявил премьер штата Западная Австралия Роджер Кук.
Ранее Макрей заявлял РИА Новости, что эра свободы слова завершается на Западе с введением санкций против российских СМИ, и надежда на защиту свободы слова остается в России и странах БРИКС. Он добавил, что Запад продолжает подрывать собственные давние идеалы, а демократия умирает медленной и мучительной смертью.

🇷🇺 🇧🇾 Opening address by Russian Defence Minister at meeting of Joint Collegium of defence ministries of Belarus and Russia
***
To begin with, I would like to thank the Belarusian party for its traditional welcome and hospitality.
Today we continue to actively strengthen the military cooperation of our countries. This is especially important amid overt pressure from the collective West and NATO hostile activity near the borders of the Union State.
This year, the NATO member states conducted a series of the largest exercises since the Cold War, to practise scenarios of a full-scale conflict with Russia and its allies. The coalition forces of the Alliance are being built up. Combat training and reconnaissance activities are also intensified.
The growing involvement of the West in the conflict in Ukraine creates global risks. The desire to inflict maximum damage on Russia can lead to direct military clash between the nuclear powers. We cannot but respond to these threats.
The changes in the military and political situation made it necessary to specify the basics of the State policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence and to adjust them to the new reality. Among other things, it is possible to use nuclear weapons in response to the aggression against Belarus as a member of the Union State.
The Treaty between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation on Military Security Guarantees and new Security Concept for Russia and Belarus are currently being completed.
We continue to form of a common defence space with Belarus. We are improving cooperation on the joint use of armed forces to ensure the military security of our union.
