The fate of arms has decided. The moment of truth has spoken. The Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed miserably. NATO’s considerable armaments were useless. The battlefield is littered with corpses. All for nothing. The territories that joined the Russian Federation by referendum will remain Russian.
This “checkmate” not only marks the end of Ukraine as we have known it, but of Western domination that had staked its future on its lies.
The multipolar world may be born this summer at several international summits. A new way of thinking in which might no longer makes right.

This article was written on June 10. At that time, the only information available came from Russia and allied headquarters. Ukraine had imposed a total embargo on its counter-offensive. We should therefore have waited before publishing this text. However, we felt that if Ukraine had been able to break through Russia’s first line of defense, even if it hadn’t managed to get into the breach, it would have let us know. We are therefore publishing this analysis.
In six days, from June 4 to 10, 2023, the Ukrainian army launched its counter-offensive and suffered a terrible defeat.
During the summer, Russian forces built two defense lines in the part of Novorossia they liberated and in the Donbass. They prevent the passage of all armored vehicles.
Ukrainian forces have chosen a dozen points of attack to retake “enemy-occupied” territory. Their armored vehicles were unable to get through the first line of Russian defenses and piled up in front of it, where they were destroyed one by one by Russian artillery and suicide drones.
At the same time, the Russian army targeted missiles at command centers and arsenals inside Ukrainian territory and destroyed them.
The Ukrainian air defense system was destroyed by hypersonic missiles as soon as it was installed. In its absence, the Ukrainians were unable to carry out the maneuvers planned by Nato.
Russia did not use any of its new weapons, apart from its NATO weapons jamming system and some of its hypersonic missiles.
The border is now a long graveyard of tanks and men. Airports are full of smoking Mig-29 and F-16 wrecks.
The staffs of the United States, the Atlantic Alliance and Ukraine are passing the buck for this historic disaster. Hundreds of thousands of human lives and 500 billion dollars have been wasted for nothing. Western weapons, which shook the world in the 90s, are now worthless compared to the Russian arsenal of today. Strength has changed sides.
Two conclusions can already be drawn:
Do not confuse the Ukrainian army with the “integral nationalists”
While there is no longer a Ukrainian army capable of high-intensity warfare, there are still the forces of the “integral nationalists” (sometimes called “Banderists” or “Ukrainian-Nazis”). But they are only trained for low-intensity warfare. Its leaders went to fight in Chechnya in the late 90s on behalf of the CIA and NATO secret services, and sometimes in Syria in the 2020s. They are trained in targeted assassinations, sabotage and civilian massacres. Nothing more.
They succeeded
1. In sabotaging the Russian-German-French-Dutch Nord Stream gas pipeline, plunging Germany and then the European Union into recession on September 26, 2022.
2. In sabotaging the Kerch Strait bridge (known as the “Crimean Bridge”), on October 8, 2022.
3. In attacking the Kremlin with drones, May 3, 2023
4. In using drones to attack the Ivan Kurs, the intelligence vessel defending the Turkish Stream gas pipeline in the Black Sea, on May 26, 2023.
5. In sabotaging the Kakhovka dam to split Novorossia in two, on June 6, 2023.
6. In sabotaging the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline to destroy the Russian mineral fertilizer industry, on June 7, 2023.
Just as in the two World Wars and the Cold War, they proved their terrorist capabilities, but played no decisive role on the battlefield.
Now more than ever, we need to distinguish between Ukrainians who thought they were defending their people, and the “integral nationalists” [1], who don’t care about their compatriots and have been trying for a century to eradicate Russians and their culture.
The Ukraine we knew is dead
Until now, Ukraine has been above all a power of communication. Kiev succeeded in making people believe that the 2014 coup d’état that overthrew a democratically elected president in favor of integral nationalists was a revolution. Likewise, it has managed to make people forget the way it crushed its citizens in the Donbass, refusing to give them access to public services, to pay civil servants’ salaries and pensions to the elderly and, ultimately, bombing its cities. Finally, it succeeded in convincing Westerners that Ukraine was a homogenous country with a single population living a common history.
As in most wars, there is also a “civil war” aspect [2]. Today, everyone can see that, contrary to what was claimed, Vladimir Putin’s analysis was not a reconstruction of history, but a factual truth. The people of Donbass are profoundly Russian. The people of Novorossia (including Crimea) are of Russian culture, albeit with a different history (they have never known serfdom). Ukraine has never existed as an independent state in history, apart from one decade, during the periods 1917-22 and 1941-45, and three other decades, since 1991.
During these three experiences, Kiev never stopped purging its people and massacring its citizens when the full nationalists were in power (1917-22 with Simon Petliura, 1941-45 with Stepan Bandera, and 2014-22 with Petro Poroshenko and Volodymyr Zelensky). In total, over the course of a century, the “integral nationalists” – as they call themselves – have murdered more than 3 million of their compatriots.
During the First World War, the people of Novorossia had already risen up around the anarchist Nestor Makhno; during the Second World War, the people of Donbass and Novorossia rose up as Soviets; while this time, they are fighting against the “integral nationalists” in Kiev with Russian forces.
The only way to stop these massacres is to separate the “integral nationalists” from the population of Russian culture they want to kill [3]. Since Nato staged a coup in 2014 and put them in power, there’s no other way but to note the country’s current division and leave them in power in Kiev. It is the Ukrainians, and they alone, who will have to overthrow them.
Current military operations have already done so. The part of the country liberated by the Russians voted in a referendum to join the Federation. However, last year’s Russian advance was halted by President Vladimir Putin as part of negotiations with Ukraine, conducted first in Belarus, then in Turkey. Odessa is still Ukrainian in law, even though it is culturally Russian. Transnistria is still Moldavian, even though it is culturally Russian.
The war is technically over. No offensive can alter the current borders. Admittedly, the fighting may drag on and a peace treaty is a long way off, but the die is cast. There is still a problem in Ukraine and Moldavia: Odessa and Transnistria are still not Russian. Above all, there remains a fundamental problem: in violation of their oral and written commitments, the members of the Atlantic Alliance have stockpiled US weapons on Russia’s borders, jeopardizing its security.

EPSTEINS “PLEASURE ISLAND”
JP Morgan Chase have agreed to pay the child victims of
Jeffrey Epstein $290 million to settle the claims of dozens of victims lured there on the promise of
film or modelling work, The bank acknowledged they knew of Epstein’s crimes.
The amount if finally approved will be one of the largest ever granted in a sex trafficking case.
The bank America’s largest managed Epstein and Gislane Maxwells blackmail accounts for Mossad from
1998 until 2013.
Thierry Meyssan: he gets to paragraph 14, and he spills into utter bullshit.
You see, he can pass off a semblance of truth, but when faced with a Nazi red line, he crumbles.
So the UKrainian Nazis are soooo successful playing away from home, but can’t even get into the oppositions half playing at home.
Only two, or three well known YouTube pundits have been willing to mention MI6, and the SAS/SBS as responsible for international acts of terror attributed to the pathetic UKrainian Nazis.
NATO Nazis want Russia to advance towards Western UKraine.
We wait to hear what crud emerges from the NATO summit in Vilnius on 11/12th July. They’ve got plenty of time to work on their script.
To all on here, who said Trump is just ‘one of them’, you were so wrong. Recent video put out by Judging Freedom does explian, just as I’ve previously done, how Trump had no alternative but to appoint swamp critters into his administration.
Simply put, virtually everyone was working against their duely elected president and this time around, they won’t let Trump run.
It’s all down hill from now on. There’s going to be no bounce. There’s going to be no recovery for the West, and this is why a nuclear WW3 seems enevitable.
The Nazis won’t accept Russian terms of surrender, because NATO has lost. They had the biggest army in Europe. The war was run by NATO commanders. Mostly from the UK and US, and many have been killed in UKraine. Asia, the Middle East, and now in Europe, NATO has lost.
NEXT comes the “Collapse Of The West”…. count on it!
Fears of ANOTHER environmental disaster in Ukraine after world’s largest ammonia pipeline is shelled, ‘releasing huge poisonous gas cloud’, a day after dam is blown up, sparking huge floods
Russian and Ukrainian sources reported shelling in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region
World’s largest ammonia gas pipeline runs 1,534 miles from Togliatti to Odessa
Ammonia is a key fertiliser ingredient but is also highly toxic for lungs and eyes
By DAVID AVERRE and WILL STEWART

Fears of another environmental disaster in Ukraine were triggered yesterday after the world’s largest ammonia pipeline was shelled in a contested part of the country’s northeastern Kharkiv region.
Pro-Moscow sources released footage purporting to show a cloud of gas settling over a wooded area close to the town of Masyutivka, which sits in a ‘grey zone’ between Russian and Ukrainian lines just north of Kupyansk and houses a pumping station for the Togliatti-Odesa pipeline.
Ammonia is a key ingredient in nitrate fertiliser, of which Russia is one of the world’s leading producers. But it is also highly toxic and can cause severe irritation of the lungs, throat, nose and eyes.
I had no idea this pipeline has also been bombed.
Multipolar world here we come. If the Anglo-Americans can’t live with that, it will be a divided multipolar world, and the West will be much poorer for it, if we survive at all…
The US seems to be adopting the Israeli principle they used on the US for decades;
‘There is no greater gift that a Ukrainian can give than to die for the US.’
Dear Mr Thierry Meyssan,
USA = ZOG
UK = ZOG
Ukraine= ZOG
Russia= ZOG
Israhell=Puppet Masters
When you can metion those in your articles, I will read them.
Thank you
Yes, of course, let’s blame the renegade Nazis for everything, all acting without any direction from the Western globalist controlling the entire war.
Fascinating article , I might just add that Kruschev was a Donbass coal miner , his successor Breznev was from Kiev and they ruled the Soviet Union for over 20 years .
Definitely worth archiving to see how much of this turns out to be the Truth –
If so, the BBC Newscorps needs to be broken up, both for its Far Left agenda – Communism is NEVER acceptable- and for the cover up of neo-nazi atrocities that perversely, but typically, is the direct result of that same Far Left agenda.
That IS after all, the Alice in Wonderland/ Looking Glass World of Reversal and Conspiracy that the ultra-Socialist BBC personnel inhabit – as illustrated by their own graphic of their nonsensically monikered ‘Disinformation Correspondent’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mssl
Always the one to declaim ‘Far Right’ this and ‘Far Right’ that, is Marianna – that’s what a Far Left stereotype like her sees looking back at her from the reverse side of the mirror, of course-
A problem we have in the west is that for all their talk about Russia firing the first nuke is that our lot will more probably do it. Russia’s clearly winning, and perhaps the only way to guarantee being safely in a bunker when nuclear war starts is to get in the bunkers first then start it.
🥳 🤩 👍 👍 👍 🤩 🥳
Great article except the learned man does NOT mention Jews. The central role of Jews in the disaster is not in the connect the dots. These intellectuals with PhD’s are worthless.
Everything that happened was predictable, I said right here again and again that it would of been easier if Biden just took all those arms and dumped them into the Atlantic, as Russia took all of that expensive equipment and turned it into scrap iron. It’s going to be a scrapper’s paradise when this is over.
The death toll has to be 500,000. For what? Not a damn thing. $200+ billion down the shithole. Biden should be impeached for this mega crime – but Congress was in on it, McCarthy says unlimited funds for Ukraine.
Like all big crimes, no Jew will be prosecuted for mass murder and fraud.
The West is governed by lunatics – they will double down again and again. Eventually they will go nuclear.
Does “banderists” translate into yiddidsh as “mossad” or “idf”?

vermin gotta worm. To answer the question on the title page, I’d say a “new avenue” by the usual suspects. They ain’t gonna give up— they never do.
All Jews want to do is PLUNDER Russia, tear it into little pieces, steal every last damn thing, and torch the entire frickin’ place. Jews are sick demented psychotic greedy animals who are addicted to their own fears. It can probably be said with certainty that a multi-million dollar contract is out on Putin’s life. One must have faith. Putin is no slouch. He is teaching these hapless, hopeless, helpless rotten scumbagging bastards that Christianity will never be put down.
