Streets of Mariupol, including areas 1 km from the Azovstal plant where Ukrainian forces are bunkered down. Yes, there is destruction, that's what happens when Ukrainian forces, and Nazis, embed in residential areas & occupy apartment buildings. It isn't Raqqa, and if you aren't aware of the US illegal coalition in Syria's full destruction of Raqqa, look that up. [Also, see this clip, where journalist Roman Kosarev elaborates on why there is destruction: https://t.me/Reality_Theories/5907 ] Now that the fighting is over, rebuilding can begin, stability can return & improve, without the corrupt & dangerous rule of Ukraine & the Nazis in power.

Two oil storage facilities around 150km into Russia from Ukraine's border went up in flames early Monday morning, just hours after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev to tout some $713 million in new US weapons shipments and military aid.

Wall Street Journal : 💬 NATO’s self-imposed geographic limits absent the alliance from the Indo-Pacific and weaken it in the Atlantic. NATO can no longer take such risks. [That is, not supporting Britian in the Falklands War of 1982] [I]t must protect all members’ lands. Expanding Article 5 would let allies shift troops from places like the Falklands in the South Atlantic to the Russian naval threat in the north.

Russia knows the names of the Western intelligence personnel curating the Ukrainian security services, who are being encouraged to engage in criminal acts inside Russia, including through attacks on well-known journalists, President Vladimir Putin has announced.

💬 "Since they are failing to achieve their goals in the [Russian] information space - bamboozling their own citizens, of course, by using their monopolistic position in the information space in their own countries and some other nations, but failing here, in Russia, they has switched to a policy of terror - to preparations to kill our journalists. And here it should be noted that we know the names of the curators from Western services, primarily of course, from the US Central Intelligence Agency, who work with Ukrainian security agencies, and who, apparently, give such advice," Putin said.

Fort Detrick’s collusion with fascist Japan and Nazi Germany in the development of biological weapons of mass destruction is not some macabre relic of the distant past.

Russia and China have lobbied the UN Security Council for an independent investigation into dozens of laboratories that were being run by the Pentagon in Ukraine up until Moscow launched its military intervention in February.

Russia has published classified documents showing that the Pentagon was engaged in developing biological weapons of mass destruction. Washington has disputed the Russian and Chinese concerns as “disinformation”, claiming that the laboratories were conducting biomedical defense studies into diseases. Why then was U.S. State Department official Victoria Nuland worried that Russian forces could acquire samples from the labs if they were for innocent biomedical research?
