Russian Ambassador Warns Against Strikes on Crimea, Raises F-16 Issue
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States must understand that Ukrainian strikes on Crimea would be viewed as an attack on any other region of Russia, while the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Kiev raises the question of NATO’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said.
US President Joe Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the G7 summit in Japan that the US, along with its partners, was going to launch a training program for Ukraine’s military pilots on the fourth generation fighter aircraft including F-16s.
Biden said Zelensky gave him 'flat assurance' that F-16 fighter jets would not take Ukraine war to Russian soil
President Joe Biden said on Sunday he got personal assurance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the F-16s that America approved for use in the war would not be used in Russia itself.
Biden had been reluctant to approve the delivery of the military fighter planes to Ukraine via European countries. Because the F-16s have sensitive spy technology, America must approve any third-party sale.
Ukraine claims it will ‘win the war’ with F-16s
Air defense systems supplied by the West are not enough to counter Russian drones and cruise missiles, according to Kiev
F-16 fighter jets could be a game changer in the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Yury Ignat, claimed in remarks to Ukraine’s Espreso TV broadcaster on Saturday.
“When [we] have F-16, we will win this war,” Ignat said, adding that Kiev has repeatedly told its Western backers that the air defense systems it has already obtained from the West are insufficient to protect all of Ukraine’s territory against Russian air strikes.
US National Security Experts Urge No More Weapons For Ukraine In NY Times

While condemning Russia’s invasion, the statement provides a more objective account of the crisis in Ukraine than the U.S. government or The New York Times has previously presented to the public, including the disastrous U.S. role in NATO expansion, the warnings ignored by successive U.S. administrations and the escalating tensions that ultimately led to war.

Hezbollah propaganda ‘military’ drill showcases its terrorist impunity - analysis

Mistakes were not made; The Great Democide of the 2020s was not a mistake
(Natural News) “The following poem was inspired by a conversation with Mike Yeadon. We have both independently noticed the increasing use of terms like ‘bungled’ and ‘blunder’ to describe the crimes against humanity perpetrated under the cloak of covid.

Military’s expanded role in 5G could lead to ‘mass data collection, tacking and monitoring’ of US citizens
(Children’s Health Defense) — The U.S. military’s chief information officer (CIO) and former CIA deputy director John Sherman said his office will assume control of all 5G-related activities in the U.S. military and expand the military’s 5G pilot programs – a move critics said could lead to increased surveillance of U.S. citizens.
The move will shift the Pentagon’s 5G efforts from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Heidi Shyu, to Sherman’s office.
AI Company Says It'll Perform a Seance on Your Dead Loved Ones
"We're trying to make it sound as magical and as mystical as possible."
As the Greek myth goes, the nymph Eurydice was killed only a few hours after she married the musician Orpheus. Consumed by grief, Orpheus traveled to the Underworld to find his late wife, where he played a song so sad that its rulers Hades and Persephone told the musician that he and Eurydice could go back — albeit under one condition.
All Orpheus had to do was wait until they were back in the land of the living to turn around and see his bride. But he couldn't wait, and he looked too soon, and Eurydice was forced back into the Underworld. Orpheus lost her all over again.

It's STARTING! The NEXT Pandemic is here & children are the target says Bill Gates | Redacted News
The UK government has begun testing for asymptomatic bird flu. Two people who worked in poultry farms have tested positive. The government says that bird flu contamination can come from “the nose and throat from breathing in material on the affected farm or can be true infection. It can be difficult to distinguish these in people who have no symptoms.”
This is a tyrannical atrocity against the safety of the United States. This president that has been installed instead of voted in, has weakened every piece of fabric of our country’s protection. I will say - GOD is still on the throne my friend. I pray HE intercedes quickly!!
