It should be clear to everyone the Western Regime is bent on global war.
The blatant goading of Russia to over-react to attacks in deep Russian territory just keep coming. It should be a "burning cross" indication of how badly the western oligarchs need to plunder and pillage Russian resources to save the west from financial collapse.

Crazy is as Crazy does

I've not kept up well with the news cycle over the last couple of weeks, however the items that caught my interest this week, was first, Trump calling Putin crazy...that seems like the pot calling the kettle black to me. And secondly, the possible Hamas Israeli deal for hostages for a 60 day cease fire. Let's look at both of these stories below the fold.

Officially Japan’s govt warns citizens against all travel to Russia. As well as meeting Putin & Ushakov, Akie went to the Bolshoi in Putin’s limo. https://t.co/ZEsvmsfey0
