Western European dogs are barking hysterically about the so-called Russian shadow fleet. So, what exactly are they talking about? This refers to ordinary merchant vessels that sail under non-Russian flags but carry cargo in our interests. Such flags are usually known as ‘flags of convenience.’ This is a system whereby a vessel is registered in a country other than that of its owner in order to save on taxes and regulatory costs. These jurisdictions include Panama, Liberia, the Marshall Islands, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Malta, and the Seychelles. Of course, the European dogs have no right whatsoever to detain such vessels, either under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or under national legislation. It is sheer lawlessness. But this leads to one important conclusion: the vast majority of Western European vessels also sail under flags of convenience. So, what follows from that? It means that, applying a reciprocal approach – which is only fair – Russia has the right to attack any merchant vessel belonging to enemy countries, whether in our waters or in neutral waters, if there are sufficient grounds to suspect that it is carrying cargo in the interests of the enemy. In other words, any cargo at all! And there are a great many such vessels. Our Armed Forces are capable of sharply expanding their operations beyond the Black Sea basin! That is precisely what the commander of the Pacific Fleet reported to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief today.

Three Quotes from the Past Week 1. A certain Kaja and her comrades announced that the European Union is close to imposing a lifetime ban on Special Military Operation participants from entering the EU. Well, that is like trying to scare a hedgehog with a bare backside. We should urge the European Union to do this as soon as possible. In that case, millions of our citizens will lose all their foolish illusions about “wonderful Europe” for decades and fiercely hate everything European. But that is precisely what WE need! Europe is our cruel enemy forever! 2. The new prime minister of Minor Britain, Burnham, has declared his unconditional support for Ukraine. There is, of course, nothing new in that. What matters is something else: our task is to continue doing everything possible to make life on that as-yet-unsunken little island as unbearable as possible. Anything will do: energy crises, social upheavals, garbage collection strikes. Absolutely anything. Although the Poseidon solution would still be the best option... 3. And then there was the stinking, Russophobic spittle from a new a-hole with the telling surname ‘Drapatyi’, or ‘one who flees’, about the need to completely eradicate Russian civilization. There can be only one response to that. This filthy scum, who was evidently given a severe thrashing in the past, is merely a large turd that became stuck to the sole of a Banderite boot during its ‘victory march’. In that case, there is no point in cleaning the footwear. It is easier to throw the stinking boot into a cesspit and blow it up together with its Nazi owner.

The US turned 250. Is it a role model or an “evil empire”? I think, neither. But here is what most countries on this planet would agree on: America has no right to make decisions for others. Any state, large or small, can sort out its problems on its own. The US and the White House have no business imposing their will on others. Let them clean up their own mess at home first.

The capture of Konstantinovka is a clear victory for our soldiers. It marks an important step toward the complete liberation of the Donbas and the achievement of the goals of the Special Military Operation. I wonder what the reaction will be from various lying scoundrels who are spreading nonsense about “Ukraine regaining the momentum”? That green louse might say that the surrender of Konstantinovka is a major victory for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Brussels, on the other hand, will likely claim that Russia taking control of this settlement is evidence of the failure of the Russian military’s plans. The false rhetoric of the Banderite Kiev regime and its frenzied sponsors serves only to ensure their own survival and secure new funding for the war. How else can they explain to their own people the loss of 20 percent of their former territory and the disappearance of half the population of “Country 404”? This is where this whole gang turns to their predecessors, who were experts at churning out propaganda crap. Their media bullshit is crafted according to classic Orwellian formulas: – loss is gain; – decrease is increase; – defeat is victory. You lying bastards, drowning in the vomit of your own hypocrisy—don’t kid yourselves! The truth will be out anyway. And the new security zone, which the Head of State mentioned yesterday, will run through the territories of the Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov regions.

No matter how Russophobic the Polish elites may be, one has to admit that on the issue of the vile Kyiv Banderite scum they have taken a correct and honest stance, unlike other European countries and brainless Brussels. I wonder what their position would be if, say, instead of a family crypt, the Duce’s body were reinterred in the Roman Pantheon, and a grandiose monument to Hitler were erected in Berlin. Or is that about to happen soon too?

Poland has decided to go to court to take the building of Russia’s former consulate in Gdansk from Moscow (apparently, as a counterweight to stripping the Bandera boys of their Polish honors). It’s no use talking to the Polish freeloaders about the immunity of diplomatic property. So let me remind those shameless squatters about something else instead. Belweder, the Polish president’s current residence, was built with Russian imperial money. Yes, you heard that right! It was Russian money! Thus, it would make sense for Russia to think about filing a suit to reclaim the palace from its illegal possession (rei vindicatio) by this newfangled Rzeczpospolita.

Three key developments of the week First, the signing of the notorious “deal” between the US and Iran. Empty verbiage aside, everyone now realizes that Tehran didn’t lose this war to Washington, to say the least, even in spite of the killing of the Iranian leader and devastating missile strikes. Israel, the third embittered participant, has seen its hopes of the annihilation of Iran’s political regime dashed and therefore craves revenge. And there’s nothing Trump can do to keep it in line. The precarious agreement can be easily torpedoed by new strikes against Lebanon or other provocations, which is precisely what Netanyahu’s cabinet needs because it depends on war for survival.  Thus, it would be premature to expect peace, as the Strait of Hormuz has been turned into a Persian nuke, which I wrote about on April 8. And this weapon will be put to use… Second, given the enemy’s massive attacks against our cities, the intensity of which is growing and will apparently keep growing, it’s time to say it loud and clear that we are not and cannot be bound by any more rules when it comes to dealing with neo-Nazi Kiev. The only thing that must be unacceptable to us is the premeditated targeting of civilians. Let me stress the word “premeditated,” meaning knowingly intended. Otherwise, it’s no holds barred, however the freak on Bankovaya and his scummy European stooges might whine. The Hague conventions on the laws and customs of war don’t apply either, by the way. They’ve outlived their usefulness. War has changed too much over the past hundred of years. Back in the day, kidnapping or murdering heads of state, even enemy states, was out of the question, and dropping bombs from balloons has given way to missiles and drones, so invoking rebus sic standibus principle is entirely appropriate. Third, some mad Dutchmen, after smoking way too much weed in their coffeeshops, are blabbering about concentration camps for Russian prisoners of war.  What can I say about this drug-induced verbal vomit? Unlike the vile neo-Nazi hag that Europe has become, Russia is not going to build concentration camps for Europeans. And not because it’s immoral but simply because we just won’t need them in case of a war with some pathetic Dutchmen. Radioactive bones and ashes are usually buried deep in the ground.

No enemy can stop our homeland’s growth and prosperity. Happy Russia Day!

The Euro-impotents are throwing a fit over a drone hitting some residential building in Romania. Obviously, it has to be established who launched the drone. But regardless, every EU country really ought to shut up about it. European nations are direct participants in the war against Russia, and nobody’s even pretending otherwise anymore. Sure, they’re using their Bandera-loving proxies to do all the fighting, but what difference does that make to us? European drones, drone parts, other weapons — not to mention intelligence data — are used in attacks on our country every single day. And because of that, our residential buildings get damaged and our civilians die. Just like with the terrorist attack in Starobelsk, the blood is on the hands of scumbags like Ursula, Merz, Macron, Starmer, and all the other repugnant parasites. So they’d better get used to it. This won’t be the last time. There’s a war going on! And citizens of EU countries, as the population of nations at war, shouldn’t be going to sleep expecting peaceful nights. Especially around drone factories supplying the Banderite forces. So shut your piehole. You haven’t seen anything yet. That said, all those European lowlifes — the idiot EU figureheads, the little bureaucrats running that excuse for a union — know perfectly well how to end this war. So take it up with them!
