Russia's Iron Doll suggests nuking Queen's funeral: 'God forgive me'
Sept 21 '22

''Russian President Vladimir Putin’s so-called Iron Doll has spoken — just hours after the Queen was laid to rest — and it’s not pretty.''

''Olga Skabeyeva, one of the Kremlin’s most high-profile propagandists, allegedly said Putin should have launched nuclear weapons at the Queen’s funeral while all the world leaders were in one place, according to the Daily Mail online.''

At the time, she was responding to Andrey Gurulev, a retired general and current MP, who said it didn’t make sense for Russia to strike Ukraine.

“We still have to live over there in Ukraine,” he said. “We have plenty of targets. Ramstein [airbase in Germany] is a good fat one, but it could wait. Why would we bomb Ukraine or Germany when there is Britain — the root of evil?”

Gurulev said the U.K. could be “bled white” and turned into a “Martian wasteland” with very few Russian nuclear strikes.

“When Britain is turned into a Martian wasteland, what will NATO’s Article 5 [defending collective security] be about?”’ he said. “Defending the Martian wasteland? There will be nothing left there. An unshakable island — it will be shakable.”

Radio Svoboda: “After years of denial, Putin’s ally Prigozhin admitted to forming the Vagner group.” (The Infamous Vagner group is now contracting convicts to fight war in Ukraine, it is mentioned in the article, too).

After Years Of Denial, Putin Ally Admits He Founded Russian Paramilitary Group Vagner

Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close associate of President Vladimir Putin, has admitted he founded the private paramilitary Vagner group after years of denying any links to the mercenaries who have been involved in the ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as conflicts in Syria and Africa.

"In February 2015 Russian politician Boris Nemtsov—a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin—was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin. Five men were convicted for his murder, but urgent questions remained: Who ordered the killing…and why? Now, a new film from Bellingcat, The Insider, and BBC Eye Investigations reveals evidence that, in the year running up to the shooting, Boris Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad.''
Click to expand...
Among many theories why Nemtsov was killed, one is simple. Nemtsov publicly called Putin “F@@@ed up”. Many believe this is what sealed Nemtsov’s fate.

Here is this short video. Nemtsov says, “for you to understand, he, Vladimir Putin, is f@@@ed up”.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A U.S. Coast Guard ship on routine patrol in the Bering Sea came across a guided missile cruiser from China, officials said Monday. But it turned out the cruiser wasn’t alone as it sailed about 86 miles (138 kilometers) north of Alaska’s Kiska Island, on Sept.

“While the formation has operated in accordance with international rules and norms, we will meet presence with presence to ensure there are no disruptions to U.S. interests in the maritime environment around Alaska,” Rear Adm. Nathan Moore, Seventeenth Coast Guard District commander said.

Blasts precede Baltic pipeline leaks, sabotage seen likely

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Denmark believes “deliberate actions” caused big leaks in two natural gas pipelines running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, and seismologists said powerful explosions preceded the leaks.
apnews.com apnews.com
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called the events “an act of sabotage,” while Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she could not rule it out after three leaks were detected over the past day on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which are filled with gas but not delivering the fuel to Europe. An energy standoff over Russia’s war in Ukraine halted flows on Nord Stream 1 and prevented them from ever starting in the parallel Nord Stream 2.

Lights out, ovens off: Europe preps for winter energy crisis

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — As Europe heads into winter in the throes of an energy crisis , offices are getting chillier.
apnews.com apnews.com
With costs high and energy supplies tight, Europe is rolling out relief programs and plans to shake up electricity and natural gas markets as it prepares for rising energy use this winter. The question is whether it will be enough to avoid government-imposed rationing and rolling blackouts after Russia cut back natural gas needed to heat homes, run factories and generate electricity to a tenth of what it was before invading Ukraine.

A young man shot a Russian military officer at close range at an enlistment office Monday, an unusually bold attack reflecting resistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to mobilize hundreds of thousands of more men to wage war on Ukraine.

The shooting comes after scattered arson attacks on enlistment offices and protests in Russian cities against the military call-up that have resulted in at least 2,000 arrests. Russia is seeking to bolster its military as its Ukraine offensive has bogged down.

Putin's call-up fuels Russians' anger, protests and violence

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Long lines of cars on roads snaking to Russia’s border crossings with Georgia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and similar queues at airports. Angry demonstrations — not just in Moscow and St.
apnews.com apnews.com
Five days after President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization to call up hundreds of thousands of reservists to fight in Ukraine, the move has triggered outraged protests, a fearful exodus and acts of violence across the vast country.

“Panic. All the people I know are in panic,” said David, a Russian who gave only his first name out of fear of reprisals, in an interview with The Associated Press at a border crossing with Georgia. “We are running from the regime that kills people.”

Gas leaks in Russian pipelines to Europe trigger sabotage probe​

''Seismologists in Denmark and Sweden registered powerful blasts in the vicinity of the leaks on Monday, Sweden’s National Seismology Centre told public broadcaster SVT. German geological research centre GFZ also said a seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm had twice recorded spikes on Monday.''

‘RISK OF EXPLOSIONS​

The leaks were very large and it could take perhaps a week for gas to stop draining out of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the head of Denmark’s Energy Agency Kristoffer Bottzauw said.
Ships could lose buoyancy if they entered the area.

“The sea surface is full of methane, which means there is an increased risk of explosions in the area,” Bottzauw said.''

A reading from a seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm shows two spikes, at 0003 and 1700 GMT, followed by a lower-level “hissing” on the day when the Nord Stream 1 and 2 Baltic gas pipelines sprang leaks one after the other.

The Nord Stream pipelines have been flashpoints in an escalating energy war between capitals in Europe and Moscow that has damaged major Western economies, sent gas prices soaring and sparked a hunt for alternative supplies.''
