Bears Eat Star Athlete, Rich Tourist Couple After Helicopter Crash In Rugged Wilderness

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A wealthy couple and their pilot were tragically mauled and eaten by wild bears after their helicopter crashed in the Russian wilderness last week.

Zoya Kaygorodova and Sergey Kolesnyak, a couple in their 30s, were on a pricey tour of the Russian Far East, flying high above the Kamchatka peninsula on the Sea of Okhotsk when the helicopter flown by famous Russian biathlete Igor Malinovsky went down. Authorities said the chopper ran into bad weather.

“The missing aircraft was found by a passing helicopter on the afternoon of July 17 near the Semyachik pass, 13 kilometers from the Uzon volcano,” the Russian Emergencies Ministry said in a statement. “Unfortunately, no one survived the crash.”

European news reports say the wreckage and three mangled bodies were recovered near Kamchatka, Newsweek reported Tuesday.

Malinovsky, just 25 years old and a five-time world junior biathlon champion, reportedly lost communication due to the bad weather conditions shortly before the chopper crashed. Russian media said Malinovsky was from the Kamchatka region. (Read more from “Bears Eat Star Athlete, Rich Tourist Couple After Helicopter Crash in Rugged Wilderness” HERE)

Russian Lawmakers Blame Losses on Experimental Ukrainian Super-Soldiers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia on Monday outrageously claimed that its massive army has failed to deliver Ukraine to President Vladimir Putin because it is fighting against experimental super-soldiers, turned into “cruel killing machines” by US studies.

Two Russian lawmakers told reporters this week that the Kremlin is investigating the blood of Ukrainian prisoners of war, and has found “evidence” of experimentation, Russian outlet Kommersant reported.

Russian Senator Konstantin Kosachev told the outlet that the blood of Ukrainian prisoners contained traces of pathogens he claimed were “atypical” for Ukraine.

Kosachev claimed this was evidence of “experiments” being conducted on Ukrainian servicemen.

IrIrina Yarovaya, deputy chair of the State Duma, took the claims further, and said the supposed experiments were focused on the creation of more vicious soldiers. (Read more from “Russian Lawmakers Blame Losses on Experimental Ukrainian Super-Soldiers” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Chechen forces fighting for Russia, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, calling it a “holy war” against the “Satanic” values of Europe and the United States as well as the LGBTQ community.

Alaudinov made the remarks during a recent segment of Russia’s state-run Russia-1 television channel. A clip of his remarks were shared to Twitter on Sunday by Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast and creator of the Russian Media Monitor. Chechnya, where Alaudinov hails from, is a Republic of Russia under the jurisdiction of Moscow.

In his comments, the Chechen commander praised Putin for standing up against the West and NATO, describing them as evil. He praised the Russian president for preventing LGBTQ rights from advancing in their country, contending that the fight in Ukraine was a war against the marginalized community.

European Leader Confirms World War III Has Already Begun; Putin Stages Terrifying Nuclear Drills With Ballistic Missiles ‘Capable of Striking Britain’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By International Business Times. Russian President Vladimir Putin is in a “world war” with the West as he continues his invasion of Ukraine, an ally said Wednesday.

In an interview with independent Serbian TV Channel Pink, Serbia President Aleksandar Vucic, who has yet to condemn Putin for invading Ukraine, accused the West of sparking a “war” against Russia through the Ukrainian people.

“We should understand that amid the world war, all the talks that it’s a regional or a local war must be dropped. The entire Western world is fighting against Russia via Ukrainians. It is [a] global conflict,” Vucic said, according to Russia’s state-run news agency TASS. . .

While he has not mentioned the possibility of World War III, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently also warned against Russia possibly invading Asian and European countries, including Moldova and Poland, following the war in Ukraine.

In June, Zelensky warned the leaders of NATO that Russia could start invading other countries as well. (Read more from “European Leader Confirms World War III Has Already Begun” HERE)

Putin Stages Terrifying Nuclear Drills With Ballistic Missiles ‘Capable of Striking Britain’ at 15,000MPH

By The Sun UK. Vladimir Putin has staged terrifying nuclear drills with ballistic missiles “capable of striking Britain” at 15,000mph.

Mad Vlad’s men fired the road-launched intercontinental nuclear Yars missiles in a forest in western Siberia in another chilling warning to the West.

With a range of 7,500 miles, the missiles could strike Britain or anywhere in Europe with little notice.

The tests come amid heightened tension with the West over its involvement in the Ukraine war, and the near-daily threats by Putin’s propagandists to deploy atomic weapons.

“Over 100 pieces of hardware are taking part in the exercise,” a statement from the Russian defence ministry read. (Read more from “Putin Stages Terrifying Nuclear Drills With Ballistic Missiles ‘Capable of Striking Britain’ at 15,000MPH” HERE)

Jordan Peterson’s Russia-Ukraine Podcast Comments Go Viral

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jordan Peterson went viral on Monday . . . as he suggested on the latest episode of his podcast that Russia invaded Ukraine because the West is “degenerate.”

“And are we degenerate in a profoundly threatening manner? I think the answer to that may well be yes,” Peterson begins in the clip.

“The idea that we are ensconced in a culture war has become a rhetorical commonplace. How serious is that war?” he then asks.

“Is it serious enough to increase the probability that Russia, say, will be motivated to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine merely to keep the pathological west out of that country, which is a key part of the historically Russian sphere of influence?” Peterson then asks, setting up the topic for his Daily Wire podcast.

Peterson then adds, “To answer that question I’ll turn to the analysis of a recent sequence of significant events in the U.S. with broader ramifications for the development of political thought in the West.”

Ukraine: Russian General Killed With U.S.-Supplied Missiles

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukraine has said it has killed another Russian general, following an attack in which Kyiv’s forces used American-supplied weapons.

Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odessa regional military, wrote on Telegram about the “liquidation” of Major General Artem Nasbulin, the chief of staff of the 22nd Army Corps “after HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) missiles hit the headquarters in the Kherson region” of southern Ukraine.

It came as Ukraine released footage it said showed a HIMARS attack on a mobile command post in Tavriis’k, in the Kherson region.

If confirmed, Nasbulin could be the ninth Russian general to have died since the start of the invasion on February 24, according to one estimate. Ukraine’s claims that it has killed Russian commanders give its forces a considerable PR boost although most of them have not been confirmed by Moscow and Russia’s Defense Ministry, which Newsweek has contacted, rarely comments on such losses.

UN Concludes Ukraine Bears Blame for Nursing Home Attack Originally Blamed on Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Russian forces assaulted a nursing home in the eastern region of Luhansk. Dozens of elderly and disabled patients, many of them bedridden, were trapped inside without water or electricity. . .

In a war awash in atrocities, the attack on the nursing home near the village of Stara Krasnyanka stood out for its cruelty. And Ukrainian authorities placed the fault squarely on Russian forces, accusing them of killing more than 50 vulnerable civilians in a brutal and unprovoked attack.

But a new U.N. report has found that Ukraine’s armed forces bear a large, and perhaps equal, share of the blame for what happened in Stara Krasnyanka, which is about 580 kilometers (360 miles) southeast of Kyiv. A few days before the attack, Ukrainian soldiers took up positions inside the nursing home, effectively making the building a target.

U.S. Bolsters Long-Term Troop Presence in Europe as Russia-Ukraine War Drags On

/0 Comments/in , /by

The future of America’s long-term troop presence in Europe came into focus Wednesday as President Biden announced new plans to permanently place fresh U.S. personnel in Poland, air defense batteries in Italy and Germany, and a host of other steps as NATO reinforces its front line as relations deteriorate badly with Russia in the wake of Moscow‘s invasion of Ukraine.

The new deployments, unveiled during this week’s high-stakes NATO summit in Madrid, provide some answers to lingering questions about the Pentagon’s plans for its posture in Europe amid a Russia-Ukraine war that appears destined to drag on for months, or perhaps even years. The number of American forces in Europe has ballooned from about 65,000 to over 100,000 in the four months since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his attack on Ukraine, but military officials have been dogged by questions about how long those forces would remain on the continent and what metrics the Pentagon might use to determine when some could redeploy to other theaters or return home.

Wednesday’s announcement makes clear the U.S. is prepared to enhance its presence in Europe for the foreseeable future — a move that is sure to anger the Kremlin and ratchet up already sky-high tensions between Russia and the West.

“The United States and our allies, we are going to step up — we are stepping up. We’re proving that NATO is more needed now than it ever has been and is as important as it ever has been,” Mr. Biden said Wednesday.

Ukraine LGBTQ Community Upset Over Russian Invasion

/0 Comments/in , /by

The official Pride parade in Kyiv was canceled this year after a decade of hard-fought efforts for more acceptance of LGBTQ people.

Before Russia invaded, Ukraine – a largely religious nation with a long history of oppression against sexual and gender expression – had increasingly become a rare bright spot for LGBTQ rights and a sanctuary of sorts for Eastern Europe. Ex-Soviet LGBTQ individuals would travel to experience a gay nightclub scene, especially in larger cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, where they could feel safer to be open.

Now, what would have been the 10th anniversary of the Equality March in Kyiv this month was relocated to Poland because of the ongoing war. (Read more from “Ukraine LGBTQ Community Upset Over Russian Invasion” HERE)

State Department Warns Russia: Attack on Lithuania Is Attack on U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new Russian threat to target “the residents of Lithuania” has drawn a sharp reminder of the American pledge to fight alongside any NATO allies that might come under attack.

“Lithuania is a member of the NATO alliance,” State Department spokesman Ned Price emphasized. ”We stand by the commitments that we have made to the NATO alliance. That includes, of course, a commitment to Article 5: That is the bedrock of the NATO alliance.”

Price prefaced that warning with a dismissive remark about “Russian saber-rattling or Russian bluster.” The pairing would seem to reflect how unease about heightened military tensions around the war in Ukraine has been conditioned by the recognition that Russia is far likelier to use such threats for propaganda purposes than to risk a direct clash with the trans-Atlantic alliance.

“It seems like it’s partially a Russian influence operation or psyops a little bit,” a senior European official told the Washington Examiner. (Read more from “State Department Warns Russia: Attack on Lithuania Is Attack on U.S.” HERE)
