               “We regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the life of the president of the Russian Federation, carried out on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 parade,” the Kremlin said, adding that Putin was not in the building at the time of the alleged attack.

               “Russia reserves the right to respond to an attempted strike on the Kremlin where and when it sees fit,” the statement said.”

               Ukrainian officials did not immediately comment on the claim.

               Russia has been imposing additional safety measures in preparation for the annual May 9 World War II victory commemorations, when states of the former Soviet Union celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany. Officials had cited security concerns related to the war for limiting public events.

               Events to mourn fallen soldiers have been canceled in several regions of the country, mostly in Western Russia along the border of Ukraine.

What is the Side of the Story that is Not Yet Decisive? Edited by Abraham A. van Kempen.

Happy Independence Day! (If One Could be Happy with a War Going on RIGHT NOW, Slaughtering Thousands - See below)

In the Netherlands, we rejoiced, commemorating our freedom every year on May 5. We celebrated both the release from the German occupation and the liberation of what was then called the Dutch East Indies. In the 1950s through the 1960’s we went to our friends whose home strategically overlooked our local market square to enjoy the annual NATO festivities with NATO (primarily American) troops marching to their music. At noon, the country stopped for one minute to remember all – including the 27 million Russians – who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Today and then, most other countries celebrate Independence Day in their inimitable ways. Many don’t understand why we are at war with the Russian Federation that sacrificed many lives for us. Why do we insist that Russians, inherently noble in their pursuits, are our enemies?

Shouldn’t we look into the mirror of our realities and, as Socrates suggests, ‘examine ourselves?’

WHY 9 MAY VICTORY DAY IS SO IMPORTANT FOR RUSSIA

It has become an annual event - the military parade in Red Square in Moscow and cities across Russia on 9 May, marking victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.

               “Under Vladimir Putin, Victory Day has become a show of strength of troops and military hardware, as well as a chance to remember the sacrifices of World War Two. Twenty-seven million Soviet citizens died, by far the highest loss of any country, in what Russians call the Great Patriotic War.

               Regiments that played a vital role in the war will parade in front of the top brass and the President, whose address will echo across Red Square and be scrutinized for what to expect next. Russia's leader often uses this moment to send messages of intent.

               Russian identity has been created mainly with Victory Day in the background, with schoolbooks and history books focusing on Russia as Europe's wartime liberators.”

Breaking News | Col. Douglas Macgregor - Putin's Bloody Missile Attack Is Horrifying

Colonel Douglas Macgregor goes over Russia’s latest missile attack with Stephen Gardner. It killed thousands of Ukrainian troops, wiped out tons of Ukraine ammunition stockpiled for their spring offensive, and destroyed nearly 40 armored military vehicles.

We discuss Scott Ritter's info on the spring offensive and Ukraine losing 7 to 1 casualties.

Timestamp

0:44 Colonel Douglas Macgregor discusses the kamikaze drone attack in Crimea
2:00 Russia is switching gears on their attacks
3:00 1000 dead, trucks blown up, 200 tons of ammunition.
5:30 There is a massive cover-up on a NATO hit a target with a hypersonic missile
13:00 Russia sees their general deaths differently than the US military
16:30 Members of Congress want to send cluster bombs to Ukraine
19:00 The military-industrial complex is controlling Ukraine
22:00 Zelenskyy could be taken out. He was a nobody, just like President Macron of France

25:00 Is NATO falling apart?

1. Over the weekend, black smoke filled the air of Russia’s Crimea region after a Kamikaze drone from Ukraine hit an oil refinery. Was this attack 1) part of Victoria Nuland bragging about US military intel in Crimea, or 2) Ukraine hitting Crimea while it waits for mud to dry out?

2. Ukraine has said this was retaliation for hitting Kyiv with rockets earlier in the week and killing 26 Ukrainians. Ukraine’s generals say they are ramping up to attack Moscow. Do you think when they say Moscow, they actually mean Moscow, or do they say Moscow instead of the Russian Federation Army?

3. Russia also hit an ammunition depot for the Ukrainian army. Is this just part of taking out infrastructure and future weapons that could be used against Russia?

4. I have a two-part question. You have posited that NATO will be broken up because of the Russia-Ukraine war or will at least look different at the least. Do you see France telling China they will side with China over the USA regarding Taiwan as the first crack in Nato? Also, did you see that Poland said France might have a point, and Europe kowtowing to the United States for this long might be the wrong move forward?

Editor's Note |

Ukraine can win the war if and only if
Ukraine drags us into World War III, but then we all lose.

No one wants a nuclear crater in their backyard.

Sooner than later, the West will drop Zelensky
and his Military Junta like hot potatoes.

Peace is like a ‘tug-of-war,’
with constant give and take,
not reckless armed conflict
with plausible nuclear confrontation.

“Peace is the fruit of love. It is give and take, a dance with life for life.”

Donetsk People’s Republic, 14 April 2023 | For a philosopher, the military path of war is quite natural. In reality, such a scholar is constantly engaged in this process – the conflict of ideas. He understands that war is the forefather of all things. Since he is looking for the origin of everything, turning to war as a subject and an element of existentialism is natural. Of course, it is also a great honor for me to be part of the armed forces of Novorossiya and the Donetsk People’s Republic.
