Thousands of Ukrainian Troops on Incursion to ‘Destabilise’ Russia

"Thousands of Ukrainian troops are taking part in a major incursion into Russian territory, aiming to destabilize Russia by showing up its weaknesses, a top Ukrainian official has told AFP.
We are on the offensive. The aim is to stretch the positions of the enemy, to inflict maximum losses and to destabilize the situation in Russia as they are unable to protect their own border,” the security official said on condition of anonymity. The Russian army had said about 1,000 Ukrainian troops were deployed in the cross-border incursion, which began on Tuesday and appeared to catch the Kremlin off guard, allowing Ukrainian forces to penetrate Russian defensive lines.
Asked whether the 1,000 figure was right, the official said: “It is a lot more… Thousands”." Breitbart

How Are Ukraine Stakeholders, CIA, & The US Intel Community Going To Stop Donald Trump?

"To stop him in 2016, the FBI and DOJ ran a comprehensive surveillance operation against his campaign. The same people manufactured a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2017, the DOJ and Congress ran a comprehensive Special Counsel operation against his presidency. The justification of the SC operation was to prove a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. The real reason for the SC operation was to cover up the FBI and DOJ completely fabricating the case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2019, congress and the intelligence apparatus (Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson) manufactured an impeachment hoax using Ukraine, a fabricated DoD plant on the National Security Council (Vindman), the CIA (Ciaramella) and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (Attkinson). Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2020, the U.S. Intelligence Community, working through the U.S. CDC, seeded a global pandemic and quickly manufactured an election result using mail-in ballots to manufacture 81 million votes for a completely controlled candidate with dementia. Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2022, Joe Biden (through AG Garland) appointed a special prosecutor (smith) to investigate, indict and convict him. Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2023, the FBI and DOJ raided his home. Indicted him under claims of “national security,” then began to use Lawfare in the court system against him. Have you forgotten?
To stop him in 2024, the U.S. Secret Service permitted a 20-year-old with a backpack, range finder, drone and long rifle, to walk into a Trump rally, set up position on a rooftop next to the USSS operating team, and fire eight shots at less than 150 yards at President Trump’s head, wounding his ear. Have you forgotten?
So, my question remains:
What will the Ukraine stakeholders, in congress, within NATO, within the State Dept, within the CIA and Intelligence Community and within the multinational banking and investment companies (Blackrock), do over the next few months to stop President Trump from winning in November?" ZeroHedge

Elon Musk Dunks on ‘Two Tier Keir’ Starmer’s Response to Race Riots, Blasts British Gov’t for Censorship

"A full-on ‘Twitter beef’ has erupted between the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and the leftist British government over the anti-mass migration riots, potentially laying the groundwork for a censorship battle between the social media giant and the UK state.
Moving fast to apportion blame for national unrest over mass migration and the Muslim vigilante response throwing the country into chaos, the new Labor government has set its sights on social media, including right-wing activists like Tommy Robinson and X boss Elon Musk, for — they claim — stoking tensions in England.
Musk has effectively embodied the role of chief troll of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, branding the leftist leader as “Two Tier Keir,” over allegations that the British government has been policing violence and riots from mostly working class white British men differently than the Muslim community in the country, which has also taken to the streets en masse over the past week in large and sometimes violent gangs.
Responding to Starmer’s vow that his government will “not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities,” Musk replied on his social media platform: “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?”.
Musk has also highlighted the history of British authorities overlooking criminality among Muslim populations, including the Rotherham grooming gang scandal, in which at least 1,400 young girls were systemically sexually abused and trafficked by members of the city’s Pakistani community for years. The local authorities knew about the issue, but ignored them over fears of “racial tensions” that could stem from arresting minority-community paedophiles.
Musk questioned whether such crimes were still being committed and overlooked in Britain, which leading anti-grooming gang campaigners like former Detective Maggie Oliver suggest very much remains an ongoing issue." Breitbart
