sion with chris cook on gorilla radio of canada by editor wednesday july 15th 2026 no comments about murder and honour these days print this post by john helmer moscow bears_with conspiracy to commit murder is not a capital crime in the us state of south carolina unless the murder plan has twelve aggravating circumstances incitement to genocide is a crime in the state though it too is not punishable by death five years in prison is the standard sentence for both plus fines of between 5 000 and 500 000 lindsey graham the four term senator representing south carolina suffered the death penalty on the evening of july 11 he had not been convicted of a crime in his state the war crimes he conspired to direct and finance and the genocide against the palestinian iranian and russian nations he signed his name to live on without him as the policy of the trump administration there have been press reports in moscow that graham was executed by a russian missile attack on the skyfall drone factory which he and vladimir zelensky toured together in kiev on july 10 in south carolina the convicted have the option to die by firing squad electric chair and lethal injection bombing isn t an option according to a tsargrad report there wasn t time for graham to catch the train out of kiev to poland 11 hours then a plane to washington 11 hours land alive and then die a few hours later into the washington evening purportedly of aorta dissection the russian report claims graham was already dead on arrival in washington the rupted aorta reportedly is a fabrication to cover up the embarrassment to the trump administration of a successful assassination by president vladimir putin why graham died but zelensky survived the missile strike isn t explained there is one marker that can clarify a lot tsargrad editorialised you need to monitor the funeral if the terrorist senator is buried in a closed coffin the funeral ceremony is not public or he is quietly cremated in a private crematorium this will dramatically increase the weight of the kinetic hypothesis transferring it from the category of this is a puerile fantasy to the category of these things happen president putin and his spokesmen have said nothing about graham as for the targeting of military industry and drone factory targets in kiev putin has been precise on monday july 13 when graham was either dead of natural causes or russian ones putin told an election rally that our responses will always be mirrored wherever they try to strike at the territory of russia we will respond in a mirror only several times more powerful the enemy will feel it he already feels it i hope and he will feel it several times more powerfully assassination of individual targets is terrorism pure terrorism as foreign minister sergei lavrov declared the next day july 14 speaking in moscow lavrov was asked about us guided ukrainian drone attacks on russian shipping moscow and the president in particular is working to put an end to all of this what the ukrainian regime is doing goes beyond piracy at least pirates plunder for their own gain here however it benefits no one the sole purpose is simply to cause damage and spread fear it s pure terrorism which manifests itself not only in the sea of azov but also in the black sea and africa killing graham hypothetically collateral damage for a decapitation strike aimed at zelensky that has been ruled out by putin s mirror decapitation strikes by the us and ukrainians against russian general staff officers as they leave their homes in moscow that s pure terrorism by the enemy and putin is working to put an end to all of this exactly how that is the point of the new podcast with nima alkhorshid aired live on tuesday july 14 click to view or listen here for the moment putin is insisting that the war to defend russia from the us the nato allies and the ukraine must be conducted as a special military operation according to mirror matching escalation symmetry and deterrence by red lines announced in public and demonstration firings like the three oreshnik shots dniepropetrovsk november 2024 lvov january 2026 and belaya tserkov may 2026 moscow sources report the assessment of both intelligence agencies svr and gru is that putin s escalation limits cannot counter do not stop and fail to deter the escalation of the drone war on the ukrainian battlefield the russian hinterland the territorial waters and the high seas they add that the western allies are calling putin s bluff the sources claim it is now the recommendation of the general staff the defense ministry and the majority of the security council that putin should drop the mirror decide on asymmetrical measures and authorize endgame escalation that decision is days away one of the sources said over the weekend the source believes the russian military are now staking their honour on this decision because the alternative is too little too late and defeat by a thousand cuts such a defeat is dishonour in practice the kremlin has only one option now by editor tuesday july 14th 2026 no comments putin s mirror is no fairy tale print this post by john helmer moscow bears_with does president vladimir putin believe in the magic mirror that s the mirror which answers questions mirror mirror on the wall it has been famously asked for hundreds of years who in this land is fairest of all putin s personal advisor kirill dmitriev the fairest in the land in his own estimation was educated in the united states he believes the magic mirror is the creation of a walt disney cartoon however trained by the kgb to be fluent in german putin came across the mirror in the grimms fairy tale version that first appeared in 1812 and was translated from german into russian and published in 1826 the russian magic mirror followed in 1833 when alexander pushkin told the tale it reappeared in alexander afanasyev s collection of russian folk tales narodnye russkie skazki in that russian version the magic mirror had been acquired by a prosperous merchant one of its powers the folk tellers said was that you could look and find out what was happening and where the merchant s wife used the mirror to discover that a rival a woman more beautiful than she was was living with two oligarchs er bogatyrs in a forest nearby so she sent her servant to kill her rival with poison once twice three times she tried until she succeeded i won t spoil the story by retelling all that happened except that the beautiful girl survived to live happily ever after the evil wishing sorceress didn t she was tied to a stallion s tail and the stallion galloped across a field and scattered her smashed bones over the bushes and the gullies when president putin describes his operations in the war against the us and nato allies on the ukraine battlefield he often refers to the mirror as his rule for escalation in the warfighting he means that for every escalation operation on the enemy side he will order the general staff to strike back tit for tat symmetrically this way putin thinks he has preserved the russian initiative and escalation control he also thinks that the other side has the same magic mirror and will be limited to the same mirror rule tit for tat as putin insists what is magic about this mirror in putin s doctrine is that his mirror s magic is more powerful than the enemy s magic and that if putin s keeps repeating this often enough his magic will deter the enemy from escalating its war to destroy him putin thinks the us and the nato allies are afraid of being tied to the stallion s tail and smashed to pieces he doesn t acknowledge that they believe he s a donkey victory will undoubtedly be ours putin declared in a speech to a moscow rally everything to win yesterday our guys the fighters are moving forward he added our responses will always be mirrored wherever they try to strike at the territory of russia we will respond in a mirror only several times more powerful the enemy will feel it he already feels it i hope and he will feel it several times more powerfully this is putin s public response to the rising pressure from within the security council the intelligence agencies the general staff and in the media of the military bloggers for e day that s short for escalation day not tft tit for tat not tit trust in trump not the symmetrical responses from the genie in putin s magic mirror this is the plan for escalation of military operations to cut the ukraine battlefield off altogether from its ground and sea supply links to the nato alliance to cut off the us and nato drone targeting operations in the airspace of the black sea and the starlink and other satellite deployments in space and to do as much as possible for russia s allies starting on the iran front to inflict cost and pain on the us intelligence sources in moscow have been expressing confidence that putin having no alternative now will release the general staff from the operational restrictions he has imposed since the start of the special military operation in february 2022 most particularly our responses will always be mirrored in this latest statement however putin reveals that he believes he has an alternative the magic mirror more by editor tuesday july 14th 2026 no comments bleeding to death is not a russian option print this post by john helmer moscow bears_with the rupturing of the aorta which killed us senator lindsey graham on july 11 causes sudden excruciating pain across the chest the internal bleeding causes death so rapidly most victims cannot be saved graham s fate is now to be inflicted by rapid enactment by the us senate and house of the 500 tariff of the graham sanctions bill on countries buying russian oil gas uranium coal nickel food grains the pain is aimed principally at china india turkey the bleeding to death is planned to be the fate of president vladimir putin and russia the kremlin and its official media have issued no comment oleg tsarev the ukrainian opposition leader in crimean exile published a death notice identifying the very influential club to which graham belonged in which there are no women or children a very influential club putin s negotiator with the trump administration for sanctions relief kirill dmitriev has fallen uncharacteristically silent without publishing a tweet for 48 hours over the same period press reports have appeared in the middle east confirming that turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has decided to transfer his russian s 400 batteries to one of three us allies in the war against iran saudi arabia uae or qatar and to have ordered turkish forces to raise their flag at bases surrounding the russian naval base at tartous and the russian airbase at khmeimim near latakia on the syrian coast responding to criticism of putin for betraying the general staff on retaining the syrian bases and on supporting iran against its enemies a moscow source commented the official justification for putin s approval of the resale of the s 400 systems delivered to turkey between 2017 and 2019 but never fired will be as hypocritical as the americans it will be a defensive weapon to be used in specified circumstances only and that s it i expect no limits to what the kremlin will stoop in their money making now you can expect a year from now russian s 400s and 500s will be sold direct to the emiratis and saudis no doubt about it strictly speaking the turks do not have to do a resale they will say they are giving military defensive cover jointly with europe and the us to the arabs the russians will go along with that putin s problem is more urgent he has to win the war in ukraine to have any say in anything anywhere if he doesn t decide on this now he s gorbachev 1985 waiting to be dismembered and sold in pieces to the arabs turks europeans and chinese another moscow source has been reporting the anticipation among security council officials that putin must agree to the general staff s escalation options within days in this timing by coincidence or by calculation the russian oligarchs supporting putin have published an appeal to him with strings attached these have been spelled out by andrei melnichenko and published by the economist on july 9 melnichenko warns putin and also the graham sanctioneers in the white house and congress against four scenarios a humiliated russia lingering on the periphery of the west russia in china s orbit the fragmentation of russia which would rapidly become unmanageable and russia to become a fortress closed mobilised in permanent siege moscow sources believe there are more options than these they say the security council has proposed to putin to decide that if he is not to face slow bleeding defeat he must commit now to complete russian victory cutting ukraine off from europe nato and the us decapitation or exile for the zelensky regime and for kiev and the main cities to be run in the manner the us runs iraq that victory brings military to power in moscow this is anathema to the oligarch base on which putin has depended until now when moscow sources agree that is impossible melnichenko is speaking at the behest of the state oligarchs clan of which first deputy prime minister denis manturov is the face and coordinator according to one source they know

british they might have his balls in a nutcracker and they are putting him up to it now to test some of putin s allies and high ranking bureaucrats the usefulness of mikhail fridman pyotr aven roman abramovich has expired there must be several other plays in the works and melnichenko could be the chosen one to make the next move that s for later the source adds right now the problem for putin is
