U.S. Official Admits Biden-Harris Govt Has Driven Russia & China Closer Together.

The U.S. State Department is claiming the People’s Republic of China is now directly supplying lethal military aid to Russia for use in Ukraine. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell leveled the accusation yesterday while visiting NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium—an unwitting acknowledgment that Western assistance to Ukraine is strengthening Russia’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

For much of the war, U.S. officials have contended that Beijing has supplied Russia with dual-use items and technologies beneficial to its defense sector. These items include semiconductor chips, machine tools, microelectronics, navigation equipment, and jet parts.

However, this week, accusations escalated. For the first time, the Biden–Harris government is accusing China of providing direct support to Russia’s military. According to Campbell, the materials Beijing is now supplying are not dual-use capabilities but essential components to bolster various elements of Russia’s military operations.

Campbell has underscored that this collaboration includes exchanging technologies pertinent to submarine, aeronautic, and missile development, which could negatively impact U.S. and allied security. He added that this cooperation signifies a fundamental alignment rather than a tactical alliance.

Additionally, the Deputy Secretary of State indicated that Russia appears to be assisting China in advancing its submarine and ship capabilities, which could significantly affect Chinese military deployments in the western Pacific. Despite the allegations, the State Department has yet to issue detailed evidence of such military aid and cooperation.

In August, the Biden-Harris government issued new sanctions—apparently with little effect—to curb these Sino-Russian exchanges. The sanctions affected over 400 entities and individuals, including Chinese companies. China has condemned these measures as “typical unilateral sanctions” that disrupt global trade and destabilize supply chains.

In a statement, the Chinese foreign ministry urged the U.S. to cease such actions, threatening to take measures to protect the rights of Chinese companies.

Biden-Harris WH Spox Disparages Veterans in Accidental ‘Reply All’ E-mail on 9/11.

White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby denigrated a group of veterans in what he intended to be an internal White House email on the 23-year anniversary of 9/11. The Biden-Harris official hit reply-all when sending his comments, including a Fox News reporter who had asked the White House to respond to the veteran group’s criticism of the Biden-Harris government’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” Kirby wrote late Wednesday on a White House communications team email chain. The flippant comment was in response to accusations leveled by Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) and several other veterans that Kirby provided “cover” for the deadly withdrawal during a Monday press conference. Kirby had blasted a new report the House of Representatives issued regarding the Biden-Harris government’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, claiming it “says little or nothing new.”

Viewed by many in the White House and media as the more steady hand in the press briefing room—compared to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre—Kirby followed up his errant reply-all email, telling the reporter: “Clearly, I didn’t realize you were on the chain.”

Following Kirby’s condescending reply-all gaffe, the Biden-Harris White House communications team attempted to clean up the situation—issuing an on-the-record response from the official. “While I acknowledge not every veteran agrees with them, I stand by my comments in the briefing room. What was cherry-picked and selective was the report itself. And what’s most important is that America’s longest war is over and those still serving in uniform are better positioned to meet the threats we face today,” Kirby’s statement claims.

Biden-Harris Official Admits They Blocked a Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal.

Anti-Russia warmonger and recent Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland has admitted that Ukraine and Russia were approaching a peace deal in 2022 but that the United States blocked the deal, claiming it was unfair to Ukraine.

Nuland was questioned about claims first reported by Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, suggesting that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reject a potential peace deal with Moscow in 2022.

This was later confirmed by Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year.

Nuland explained that foreign leaders involved in the negotiations believed the parties were close to reaching an agreement. However, the terms of the proposed deal, especially those regarding military constraints on Ukraine but not on Russia, were an issue for Western powers.

“Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex,” she said, referring to restrictions on Ukraine’s future military capabilities while similar limits were not imposed on the Russian military.

She admitted, “People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal, and it was at that point that it fell apart.”

“Russia wasn’t required to pull back… wasn’t required to have the same constraints on its military facing Ukraine,” she stated.

The peace deal aimed to establish Ukraine as a permanently neutral and non-nuclear state that would not join military alliances like NATO or host foreign military bases.

Nuland’s admissions highlight that Western powers were concerned with ensuring Russia remained weakened, even at the expense of immediate peace.

Since 2022 attempted peace negotiations, estimates claim as many as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian troops have been killed in the conflict.

This NATO ‘Ally’ Just Called China’s Dictator a ‘Defender of Peace.’

During an official state visit to China, a NATO member state leader praised Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping, calling him a “defender of peace” in a statement on social media.

Spanish socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed his admiration for the Chinese communist dictator on Monday, August 9, saying, “China and Spain are two friendly nations, defenders of peace and committed to the multilateral order.”

He added that his country and China were committed to tackling climate change, despite China’s extensive use of coal-fired power plants and the fact it is building more coal plants than the rest of the world.

Sanchez’s comments regarding China being a “defender of peace” come amid accusations that the Chinese are abetting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Beijing refusing to attend a peace conference in Switerzland in June as Russia was not invited.

The CCP has also been saber-rattling regarding Taiwan. Xi Jinping has explicitly told U.S. President Joe Biden that China and Taiwan would be unified, whether through diplomacy or force.

Earlier this year, Admiral John Aquilino, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, predicted that China could invade Taiwan as early as 2027, claiming the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is actively preparing for an invasion of the island.

“The PLA’s actions indicate their ability to meet Xi’s preferred timeline to unify Taiwan with mainland China by force if directed,” he told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee in March.

China has also demanded that the United States cease ties with the Taiwanese government following elections in January that saw anti-CCP and pro-independence candidates elected to office.

CIA, MI6 Chiefs Praise Ukrainian Invasion of Russia for Inflicting War on ‘Ordinary Russians.’

CIA Director William Burns and MI6 Chief Richard Moore made an unprecedented joint appearance in London on Saturday, discussing the Ukraine war. The event, hosted by the globalist Financial Times, saw both intelligence leaders praise Ukrainian forces’ incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

Moore commended Ukraine’s controversial counter-invasion of Russia as “typically audacious and bold on the part of the Ukrainians,” praising it for having “brought the war home to ordinary Russians.” The surprise offensive on August 6 has bogged down in recent days but saw success early on, with around 500 square miles of Russian territory seized.

However, while portrayed as a great embarrassment for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, the Kursk operation may prove to be a significant strategic mistake. Ukraine has used limited reserves, armed with valuable Western equipment such as American HIMARS artillery systems and British Challenger 2 tanks, for the offensive—meaning they cannot be used to reinvigorate Ukrainian forces buckling under a grinding Russian offensive in the Donbas region.

The Kursk offensive does not appear to have diverted enough Russian resources from the Donbas to halt Russian offensive operations in that theater, with the Ukrainians losing several towns and villages as the Russians close in on the vital logistics hub of Pokrovsk.

CIA NOT ‘INTIMIDATED’ BY RISK OF NUCLEAR WAR.

As well as discussing Kursk, Director Burns revealed there “was a moment in the fall of 2022 when there was a genuine risk of the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons.”

However, he said is the “the view of my agency” that Americans should not be “unnecessarily intimidated by that.”

This cavalier attitude towards the threat of nuclear war contrasts with that of former President Donald J. Trump. The America First leader says the threat of “nuclear warming” should be a far greater concern than global warming or climate change and that he will work to de-escalate conflicts in Ukraine and elsewhere immediately if he is reelected.

Trump’s anti-war stance has earned him the support of pro-peace former Democrats, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, while neoconservative warmongers such as Dick Cheney are endorsing Kamala Harris.

Biased BBC Breached Guidelines 1,500 Times Over Israel-Hamas War.

The BBC breached its editorial guidelines on more than 1,500 occasions at the peak of the Israel-Hamas conflict, more frequently associating genocide and war crimes with Israel compared to Hamas. British lawyer Trevor Asserson headed a report that identified a significant bias against Israel in the BBC coverage over four months.

The report documents 1,553 breaches of editorial guidelines, including impartiality, accuracy, and adherence to editorial values and public interest. Specifically, it highlights that Israel was more frequently associated with genocide and war crimes compared to Hamas, with a marked disparity in terminology. Notably, Israel was linked to genocide 14 times more often than Hamas.

Former BBC executive Danny Cohen has characterized the situation as an “institutional crisis” and called for an independent inquiry into the state broadcaster’s coverage of the conflict along with Jewish groups. The report alleges that some BBC journalists have shown sympathy for Hamas and engaged in biased reporting. Specific individuals such as Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s international editor, and Lyse Doucet, its chief international correspondent, are cited for excusing Hamas’s actions and downplaying the October 7 attacks on Israel.

In response to these findings, the BBC criticized the report’s use of AI for impartiality analysis and its interpretation of the BBC’s editorial guidelines.

The BBC has been criticized for months over its bias against Israel during the conflict with Hamas, with six BBC staff in the Middle East being removed from the air after their pro-Hamas social media posts emerged last October.

The broadcaster was also forced to apologize in November of last year for mistakenly claiming that Israel was deliberately targeting medical staff in Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital.

Poland, Ukraine Clash Over Genocide of Poles by Ukrainian Nationalists.

Polish-Ukrainian relations are fraying over the legacy of the Second World War era Volhynia (Wołyń) genocide, in which Ukrainians massacred up to 120,000 ethnic Poles, mostly women and children. The slaughter was instigated by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in then-German-occupied eastern Poland, in territory that belongs to modern-day Ukraine as a result of Soviet-orchestrated land transfers. However, many of the killers were ordinary Ukrainians armed with agricultural implements, using the German occupation as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse the area in preparation for its incorporation into an independent Ukrainian nation-state.

The Ukrainian Insurgent Army and its leader, Stepan Bandera, are regarded as heroes in Ukraine for their partisan activity against the Soviets and, after initially collaborating with them, the Germans. The Ukrainian government also refuses to recognize the Polish massacres as a genocide. This is an ongoing source of tension with the Polish government, despite Poland’s strong support for the Ukrainians in their war with Russia.

Ukraine’s outgoing Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, was evasive when questioned on whether Ukraine would comply with Polish requests for the exhumation of Polish massacre victims recently. He implied Kiev and Warsaw should agree to disagree on the subject of the genocide, saying it should be left for historians to discuss.

Polish government ministers have warned Poland will not agree to Ukraine joining the European Union (EU) if the crimes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army are not addressed. The Poles also have the power to veto Ukrainian accession to NATO.

“Poland will decide to close the next chapters of Ukraine’s negotiations with the European Union, so it is better for Ukraine to settle this matter as soon as possible,” said Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski.

Six Officials In Zelensky’s Ukrainian Govt Resign, Signaling Major Reshuffle.

At least six prominent officials in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s government submitted letters of resignation on Tuesday, signaling a significant reshuffling of the country’s political leadership. Strategic Industries Minister Oleksandr Kamyshin—who oversees weapons production—stepped down in anticipation of a new appointment.

Kamyshin’s announcement precedes the resignations of Deputy Prime Ministers Olha Stefanishyna and Iryna Vereshchuk, Justice Minister Denys Maliuska, and Ecology Minister Ruslan Strilets. Vitalii Koval, who oversees the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), also resigned. The resignations were submitted to Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk, who leads the country’s unicameral parliament.

The departures will leave nearly a third of President Zelensky‘s cabinet position vacant after the leader fired several ministers earlier this year. David Arakhamia, who heads Zelensky’s Servant of the People’s Party, stated that a significant government reshuffle was underway.

“Tomorrow is the day of dismissals, and the day after that is the day of appointments,” said Arakhamia in response to the resignation announcements.

It is speculated that Zelensky will attempt to fill his cabinet vacancies quickly ahead of a planned U.S. visit later this month. The Ukrainian leader intends to appeal to American lawmakers, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, to supply the country with more aid in its ongoing war with Russia.

In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russian territory—threatening the city of Kursk. While the move appears to have been intended to draw Russian troops away from front-line positions in Ukraine, it has thus far had little impact. Currently, the Russian military continues to push toward the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a strategic rail hub for supplying Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region. If the city is captured, it could imperil Ukrainian troops to the south with possible encirclement.

Polish Globalist Minister Advocates Shooting Down Russian Missiles Over Ukraine.

Poland’s globalist foreign minister said his country should intercept and neutralize Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory before they breach its airspace on Monday. Radoslaw Sikorski’s remarks, made during an interview with the Financial Times, come despite NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg opposing the action.

Sikorski emphasized the necessity of protecting national airspace independently of NATO’s stance, suggesting that objects heading toward Poland warrant action before reaching Polish skies. He underscored that safeguarding airspace is a constitutional duty for each NATO member.

“Membership in NATO does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace,” Sikorski said. He also described such actions as legitimate self-defense, highlighting the potential risks from missile debris should they enter national territory.

Sikorski is noted for his anti-Russian stance. Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, he posted on social media a ‘thank you’ to the United States for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline. However, last month, it was revealed the Ukrainians may have conducted the operation as Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national they believe responsible for the pipeline’s destruction.

In July, Poland signed an agreement with Kiev, permitting the interception of missiles over Ukraine. Nonetheless, the Polish government indicated it would not intervene in Ukrainian airspace without prior consultation with other NATO members. Meanwhile, NATO has consistently declined requests to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, citing the risk of direct military confrontation with Russia.

Just last week, an unidentified object, likely a military drone, crossed into Polish airspace from Ukraine. The Polish armed forces could not engage the object due to its unidentified nature.

Britain Suspends Arms Sales to Israel.

Britain’s far-left government is suspending a portion of its arms sales to Israel, alleging a “clear risk” that they could potentially be utilized in ways that violate international humanitarian law. In a statement to Parliament on Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the suspension will affect 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel.

The suspension targets supplies that might be used in the ongoing conflict in Gaza against Hamas, but some exports, such as parts for F-35 fighter jets, will continue.

“It is with regret that I inform the House [of Commons] today that the assessment I have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain UK arms exports to Israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law,” Lammy said.

“We recognize, of course, Israel’s need to defend itself against security threats, but we are deeply worried by the methods that Israel’s employed, and by reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure particularly,” the Labour Party politician added.

According to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict over the past ten months.

IMPLICATIONS.

British arms exports make up less than one percent of Israel’s total arms purchases, so the move is unlikely to have a significant impact on the course of the war. It is likely intended mainly for domestic consumption, with Muslims in Britain, generally loyal to Labour, turning away from the party over Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s insufficient support for Gaza.

Several Labour politicians, including a member of the then-Shadow Cabinet, lost their seats to pro-Gaza independents in the July 4 snap election. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has been filmed telling a council of Muslim elders she owes her parliamentary seat to their support and promising to recognize Palestinian statehood.

British cities, in particular the hyper-diverse capital of London, where only 36.8 percent of residents were classed as White British in the latest census, have been regularly disrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.
