During today’s long phone call between Trump and Putin, they agreed upon a 30 day ceasefire on energy and infrastructure related targets only. Some in the White House and elsewhere had been hyping up the talks, suggesting that a real 30 day ceasefire and “conflict freeze” would be agreed upon (so that Washington could rescue the Kiev regime military from its ongoing destruction). Russia, of course, rejected that kind of laughably self-defeating proposal.

Here’s also a little other news from Russia’s special military operation.

The Kiev regime attempted invading Belgorod oblast, near Demidovka. Russian defenders repelled the attack, eliminating around 60 attackers, one tank, and seven other armored fighting vehicles: https://www.rt.com/russia/614450-ukrainian-cross-border-attacks/

Russian investigators uncovered evidence that Kiev regime troops massacred 17 civilians and buried them in three unmarked graves in Kharkov oblast, north of Kiev-occupied Kupyansk, before fleeing the area: https://tass.com/politics/1929761

Does anyone think that Iran will respond to the re-continued genocide or no?

Food is starting to run out in Gaza as Israel resumes bombing raids. “My son cries all night from hunger, and I have nothing to give him,” says one resident. The ceasefire has been broken and Israel has suspended the entry of food and medicine.

Ken on the escalation towards open war with Iran and differences between Biden and trump. I'm not sure I believe that the recent US strikes against ansarallah were as successful as stated here (hitting leadership)

Today, people in Caracas, Venezuela, marched to protest Trump and Bukele's criminalization of Venezuelan migrants, who have been labeled as terrorists and traded as slaves. Families of victims of Trump and Bukele's human rights violations marched with photos of their loved ones and demanded their immediate release and return to Venezuela.

One mother delivered a letter to Venezuelan authorities accusing the opposition Primero Justicia party of having lured her son and other young people to emigrate to the United States by offering them a better quality of life. They were given proof of party membership that would supposedly be used to grant them political asylum, then they were abandoned.

On the topic of what China should be doing about Israel, this one has gone under the radar for obvious reasons: PowerChina Completes Israel’s Largest Pumped Storage Power Station

The Kokhav Hayarden Pumped Storage Power Station, constructed by Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), has been officially commissioned for commercial operation. The project is the world’s lowest-altitude pumped storage power station and the largest of its kind in Israel.

As a key national infrastructure project in Israel, the power station is located in the Gilboa mountain range in northeastern Israel. It is also the first pumped storage project undertaken by a Chinese company overseas.

Designed with a total installed capacity of 344 megawatts, the station features upper and lower reservoirs, each with a storage capacity of 3.1 million cubic meters. Operating with a rated head of 410 meters, the facility is equipped with two reversible pump-turbine units, each with a capacity of 172 MW. Once operational, it will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and stability of Israel’s power grid.

The project was executed under an engineering, procurement and construction contract, which was awarded to a consortium comprising PowerChina and General Electric Company.

China is exporting its state-of-the-art technology to help build Israel’s infrastructure. Maybe they should invite Israel to join Belt and Road as well.

Approximately eight hours after Trump and Putin's talks resulted in a 30-day halt on strikes against energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck an oil reservoir near Kavkazskaya Prior to the attack, Russian forces intercepted several of their own drones aimed at Ukrainian energy facilities immediately after the agreement was reached.

just found out about the Burmese PLA and I would like to know more

Israel’s Defense Minister Katz:

Residents of Gaza, this is your final warning. The first Sinwar destroyed Gaza, and the second Sinwar will bring upon it total ruin. The Israeli Air Force's attack against Hamas terrorists was only the first step. What follows will be far harsher, and you will bear the full cost.

Evacuation of the population from combat zones will soon resume. If all Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not kicked out of Gaza, Israel will act with force you have not known before.

Take the advice of the U.S. President: return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open up for you—including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation.

"Ethnically cleanse yourselves or we'll genocide you."

The only way to more directly admit that you intend to commit genocide is to literally say "I intend to commit genocide".

Some of the darkest offhand shit I’ve read jfc “a flawless execution” Louisiana puts man to death in state’s first nitrogen gas execution

Jessie Hoffman Jr., 46, was pronounced dead at 6:50 p.m. at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, authorities said, adding the nitrogen gas had flowed for 19 minutes during what one official characterized as a “flawless” execution.

Witnesses to the execution said Hoffman appeared to involuntarily shake or had “some convulsive activity.” But the three witnesses who spoke — including two members of the media — agreed that, based on the protocol and what they learned about the execution method, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Witness Gina Swanson, a reporter with WDSU, described the execution from her viewpoint as “clinical” and “procedural.” She said there was nothing that occurred during the process that made her think, “Was that right? Was that how it was supposed to go?”

No redactions my ass. But what are there is reams and reams of US fuckery with Cuba and Castro. US plotting on manufacturing false flags of deliberate harm or death to US personnel, soilders, Cuban exiles. Sabatoging socialist meetings in their early development. Using VOA to to "Black propaganda" in foriegn nations.

Also the fustration with not being able to launch these types of attacks from the US Homeland as that would violate US policy. They really didn't care who was hurt or harmed as long as it would trigger the overthrow of Castro.

More than 1,000 US meatpackers have lost their export registrations to China, affecting big companies like Tyson and Cargill. The expiration could cause losses of up to US$ 5 billion and further damage US producers. The Chinese government has not renewed the registrations, despite repeated requests from the US. The US Department of Agriculture warns that this could violate the “Phase 1” agreement, which requires China to update its list of suppliers within 20 days of receiving information from the USDA.

The US exported US$ 2.5 billion in meat to China last year, making it the country's third largest supplier. The suspension of sales would affect producers of chicken feet and pork offal, products that are little consumed domestically.

Ya Allah take every western leftist on Twitter and give us one Arab AMLO then one Arab Sheinbaum.

US airstrikes continue on Yemen for the fifth night in a row. First airstrikes reported at 16:47 UTC. Seperate, multiple strikes have taken place in Sadaa city, the capital city Sana'a, Al Bayda' Governorate, Sana'a Governorate and Al Jawf Governorate.

Given that the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier is only 700-800km from Yemen today, I suspect an intense aerial bombardment is incoming, similar to the first night...

Renewed airstrikes reported in Hodeidah and Sadaa Governorates.

More strikes in Saada.

Reports that another MQ-9 Reaper drone was shot down over Yemen, and reports of a Yemeni ballistic missile being launched at Israel. The missile was likely intercepted, given there is no reports of an impact. No statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces on either incident yet.

Yemeni Armed Forces will provide a statement at 3:10 UTC.
