WOW! Biden just APPROVED largest oil and gas lease sale in US history by passing recent Inflation Reduction Act: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-approves-largest-oil-gas-lease-sale-us-history-steamrolls-eco-review-inflation-bill

▲ MY COMMENT: This is very much needed to bring inflation costs down *IF* this gas and oil is intended for the American consumer. NOTE: IF intended for American consumers. If this goes to Europe or any other country then Americans be damned and it would all be for the plundering of our natural resources. THAT is what I am afraid may happen (despite your hopes and dreams corruption still exists goyim!) WHAT I SUSPECT: US Govt has vassal states under the EU who NEED oil and gas BEFORE WINTER, after all they need their motherWEF'ing puppets to stay in political power and the one thing that would disrupt that is mass civil unrest that leads to political purges during the next elections.

Tensions are at a boiling point between Russia and Britain after the UK Defense Ministry declared it plans to send a reconnaissance plane on a route that partly passes into Russian airspace and over its territory. It seems Russia's air force may have been given shoot-down orders, or is at least ready to confront any possible foreign aircraft, if the UK attempts such a military breach of Russian airspace: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-moscow-air-force-government-and-politics-6ff00a6344dc68e25487576f98c6a029

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki launched a scathing attack on the European Union, accusing the bloc of being democratic in name only, and slamming the dominance of France and Germany who often ignore the dissenting voices of other member states: https://rmx.news/poland/the-eu-isnt-a-democracy-its-an-oligarchy-dominated-by-france-and-germany-writes-polands-pm-in-top-german-newspaper/

▲ MY COMMENT: You must remember the EU is full of unelected bureaucrats who placed themselves into power over European countries, it was never about democracy or sovereignty or representing European nations or the citizenry. It would be similar to the US government allowing Canada and Mexico to make economic and political decisions for the US which would be disastrous and outright treasonous. But that is literally how most of Europe operates now days, they are NOT sovereign democratic nations under the EU.

Power electricity is being sold on the exchange for prices that are 10 times higher than before the Covid-19 crisis. If this continues, the amount of 25 korunas (€1) per kilowatt-hour may appear on household bills, meaning five times what the Czechs used to pay. But you cannot attribute the rise in electricity prices solely to Putin or the sheiks. The reasons stem from system failure and some important actors, namely Germany and France, as well as the general rules in the European Union. Czechia itself is a victim here and has not yet begun to defend itself: https://rmx.news/czech-republic/10-times-more-expensive-electricity-in-czechia-how-could-this-happen/

On August 17, Russian-led forces took control of the village of Vershina. The gains were confirmed by the Headquarters of Territorial Defence of the Donetsk People’s Republic: https://southfront.org/russian-troops-took-control-of-vershina-near-bakhmut/

Last night, Russian missiles hit a temporary base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the town of Zatoka in the Odessa region. According to unconfirmed reports, the facility hosted Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries, hundreds of whom were reportedly killed: https://southfront.org/russian-missiles-hit-ukrainian-military-base-in-zatoka-odessa-region/

Ukrainian government officials are teasing the likelihood of more strikes and ‘sabotage operations’ inside Russian controlled Crimea, after having cheered on at least two recent large explosions at military sites. Kiev officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, are reportedly warning that all civilians should “stay away from potential targets” in Crimea: https://southfront.org/zelensky-warns-civilians-must-stay-away-from-targets-in-crimea-signaling-more-attacks/

According to Channel 24 and independent sources, Crimean Prime Minister Aksyonov and Parliament Speaker Konstantinov left the Crimean peninsula. According to Ukrainian intelligence, they received data not only on the organization of the escape, but also on the place of stay of the Gauleiters. "Aksyonov's subordinates carried out the disposal of documents at night. The families of "Crimean politicians" are already on the territory of mainland Russia in Rostovoye. There is no talk of returning to Crimea yet," the source said: https://news.dialog.ua/257283_1660766334

The Ukrainian military in southern Ukraine destroyed Russia’s Legenda-2 satellite system and an ammunition depot in Blahodatne: https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3553182-ukrainian-forces-destroy-russias-legenda2-and-antitank-complex.html

Russia's Defence Ministry said on Thursday that three MiG-31E warplanes equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have been relocated to its Kaliningrad region: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-3-mig-warplanes-with-hypersonic-missiles-moved-kaliningrad-region-2022-08-18/

Russian military leadership is likely increasingly losing confidence in the security of Crimea following recent Ukrainian strikes on Russian military objects in Crimea. Russian sources reported on August 17 that Vice Admiral Viktor Sokolov had replaced Admiral Igor Osipov as the commander of the Crimean-based Black Sea Fleet (BSF). The Russian information space, however, was evidently eager to maintain a high level of secrecy regarding Sokolov’s appointment due to the claimed threat of “terrorist danger” in Sevastopol. Recent Ukrainian strikes (associated with Ukrainian partisans and Ukrainian Armed Forces) on Russian military assets in Crimea, including the headquarters of the BSF in Sevastopol, have likely placed Russian forces on high alert and led to the restructuring of force composition, logistics, and leadership of the Russian grouping in Crimea in order to mitigate the impact of further strikes: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-17

The West’s key achievements in confronting Russia—swiftly rallying in solidarity with Ukraine, hitting Moscow with crushing sanctions and supplying Kyiv with billions in armaments—may be at risk. Even as politicians reaffirm Western unity and pundits hail the impact of weapons sent to Ukraine, economic woes are poised to fracture that solidarity where it matters most—in the European Union. Paradoxically, the rising costs of war appear less sustainable for wealthy, democratic EU countries than they do for poor, isolated Russia. The bill is coming due, and Europeans are shocked at the privations they face to pay it: soaring energy costs, rationing, reduced aid for the poor, and looming recession. Disagreement over Ukraine aid triggered the recent collapse of Italy’s ruling coalition, a bad omen for other centrist European governments: https://nationalinterest.org/feature/western-unity-ukraine-fragile-and-russia-knows-it-204308

▲ MY COMMENT: Good article BUT I would like to note there are multiple reasons Russia did not collapse after being blocked from the Western SWIFT payment system that this article never bothered mentioning. This is worth mentioning because Western governments do not seem to fully comprehend this. #1 Both Russia and China have been preparing to break away from the US dollar global reserve currency since their "Holy Grail" oil-for-gold trade deal back in 2014, so they had nearly a decade to prepare in advance. #2 Russia never outsourced their manufacturing base or productive industry unlike many Western countries, so Russia has resources and industry to fall back on when things get tough for them. Russia, unlike the West today, also protects their strong agricultural base: they even give food producers lucrative tax cuts and incentives to produce as much food for their population as possible so Russians won't go hungry during an economic crisis! #3 Russia exploited globalism and globalist corruption for sure - but Putin never allowed serious threats to their national sovereignty to manifest (the reason people like (((George Soros))) and his NGOs have been banned from Russia, and the very reason they won't allow certain people into political power knowing full well too much corruption can kill nations as they witnessed during the Soviet Union and it's collapse). Economic preparation with other nations like China, the protection of domestic industry and agriculture, and the ability to determine what kind of corruption needs to be stomped out for national security reasons is why Russia is surviving this crisis.

Russia is a responsible nuclear power and will only use its nuclear arms if attacked with weapons of mass destruction or if its existence is under threat, a spokesman for the country’s foreign ministry has said. According to Russia’s official nuclear posture, “the use of the nuclear arsenal is possible only in response to an attack as a self-defense measure and in extreme circumstances,” the deputy press secretary of the ministry said during a daily briefing on Thursday: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/08/19/russia-will-use-nukes/

Russian Air defense systems have been activated in the city of Kerch, in the vicinity of the Crimean Bridge, an adviser to Crimea’s governor said on Thursday evening: https://www.rt.com/russia/561117-crimea-air-defense/

The battles are ongoing in several directions on Donetsk axis. There are no changes in Volyn, Polissya, and Siversky directions. The village of Pavlivka, Sumy region, shelled with artillery. Russian invaders launched strikes from aircraft and helicopters near Yavirske, Staryi Saltiv, Lebyazhe, and Zalyman: https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3553572-battles-ongoing-in-avdiivka-bakhmut-directions.html

The warring sides continue fighting in Ukraine. There is a slow advance of the Russian army on the eastern outskirts of the city of Soledar. Units of the 6th Cossack Regiment of the Luhansk People’s Militia are fighting in the areas near the Knauf plant, weakening the enemy’s defenses.

Western governments are intentionally trying to reduce economic activity. There is no precedent for this. Never before in the history of industrialized nations has any government intentionally tried to lower its economic activity. It has never been done with intent before because within the contraction nations get more poor and people suffer: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/something-looming-geopolitically-and-we-better-start-taking-it-seriously

▲ MY COMMENT: There actually is historical precedent and one example is when Russia in the 1920s fell into communist rule. The Soviet goal was to centralize power and control over the whole economy and do away with any resistance and opposition. They hated decentralization. They hated political opposition. They hated free markets. It was much like being ruled by monopolists where free markets were deliberately and systematically crushed and later outlawed. Self-sufficiency was despised and later deemed criminal. Wealth force re-distributed and consolidated under a tiny "elite" oligarchy and central bankers who propped them up. Very much the same with the British Empire and one of many reasons our American Founding Fathers risked their lives fighting them. Western nations have been hijacked by the same kind of criminal oligarchy. Much like the later days of the USSR, we are starting to see the balkanization and fracturing of vassal states as naturally happens when these extremists push the citizenry too far into demise. The end result being civil unrest, defection and collapse.

ON Friday, August 19, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence published updated figures of combat losses inflicted on Russia’s armed forces since the beginning of the war, including the significant loss of Russian soldiers. Another five Russian air defence systems were destroyed by Ukrainian forces on Thursday, August 18, according to Ukraine’s military update on Russia’s combat losses since February 24.

Tonight, hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans will be sleeping in tents, under bridges, in overcrowded shelters or in their vehicles. Of course there are many that are so addicted to drugs or alcohol that they just sleep wherever they end up passing out. This is a tragedy that is growing with each passing day, and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead as the US economy slows down even more: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/tent-cities-are-taking-over-vast-stretches-of-our-major-cities-and-it-is-only-going-to-get-worse/

A number of politicians and their lobbying partners in the media have recently sought to disparage Smith & Wesson. Some have had the audacity to suggest that after they have vilified, undermined and defunded law enforcement for years, supported prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable for their actions, overseen the decay of our country’s mental health infrastructure, and generally promoted a culture of lawlessness, Smith & Wesson and other firearm manufacturers are somehow responsible for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies, but they are the ones to blame for the surge in violence and lawlessness, and they seek to avoid any responsibility for the crisis of violence they have created by attempting to shift the blame to Smith & Wesson, other firearm manufacturers and law-abiding gun owners. It is no surprise that the cities suffering most from violent crime are the very same cities that have promoted irresponsible, soft-on-crime policies that often treat criminals as victims and victims as criminals. Many of these same cities also maintain the strictest gun laws in the nation: https://citizens.news/647472.html
