US and UK remove all range restrictions on weapons in Ukraine after Trump brands Putin ‘absolutely crazy’

The UK, US and the rest of Ukraine’s western allies have agreed to remove all remaining range restrictions on the country’s use of weapons following Trump’s blistering criticism of Putin.

It comes after Russia launched its largest wave of drone strikes at Ukraine since its full-scale invasion began in 2022, leading President Trump to brand Putin “absolutely crazy.”

On Sunday, Friedrich Merz, Germany’s conservative leader, confirmed Ukraine has been granted permission to use “long-range fire”, as France’s President Macron called for “massive retaliation.”

Announcing the new measures, Merz said: “There are no longer any range limits on the weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine: not from the Britons, nor from the French, nor from us, and not from the Americans either.

“This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia … with very few exceptions, it didn’t do that until recently. It can now do that.”

Germany’s Merz announces start of WW3

Merz says there are no more range restrictions on the weapons supplied to Ukraine

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s new chancellor said Monday that his country and other major allies are no longer imposing any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion.

Friedrich Merz has plunged into diplomatic efforts to try to secure a ceasefire and keep Western support for Ukraine intact since becoming Germany’s leader nearly three weeks ago.

On Monday, he said that “there are no longer any range restrictions for weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine — neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us, and not by the Americans either.”

“That means Ukraine can also defend itself by, for example, attacking military positions in Russia,” Merz said at a forum organized by WDR public television. “Until a while ago, it couldn’t. … It can now.”

“We call this ‘long-range fire’ in jargon, also supplying Ukraine with weapons that attack military targets in the hinterland,” he added.

This is what they have wanted all along. Who is behind this is surely the same as who was behind WW1 and WW2. I doubt there is any way to turn this around. ABN

Germany’s New Leftist Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, Gives Ukraine Permission to Launch Long-range Taurus Cruise Missiles Deep into Russia

The escalation continues and unfortunately there are few indications the people around President Donald Trump are advising caution.

The U.K, German, French, EU, NATO and ‘western’ intelligence control agents are pushing for expanded conflict with Russia.  The latest development comes as the new leftist German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gives the greenlight for Ukraine to launch long-range Taurus cruise missiles directly into Russia.

(Bloomberg) — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Ukraine has been given permission to use weapons supplied by its allies to launch strikes deep inside Russia.

“There are absolutely no range limits anymore for weapons delivered to Ukraine, not from Britain, the French or from us — also not from the Americans,” Merz said at a conference in Berlin on Monday. “That means Ukraine can defend itself by attacking military positions also in Russia.”

[…] Ukraine’s Western allies are trying to intensify pressure on the Kremlin after Moscow launched its biggest drone barrage against Ukraine since the full-scale invasion over three years ago. European leaders have condemned what they call Russia’s foot-dragging as efforts to lock in a ceasefire have gone nowhere.

[…] Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that, if confirmed, a decision to allow long-range strikes could undermine efforts toward reaching a political settlement, according to Interfax. He called such a decision “dangerous.” (read more)

The proxy war between the U.S/NATO and Russia is now entering its fourth year.

In some ways these efforts by the ‘coalition of the nervously willing’ only solidify the previous position of Russian President Vladimir Putin that any western move toward a diplomatic handshake was generally duplicitous and not to be trusted.  Hence, Putin has instructed the armed forces of the Russian Federation to continue building out an expanded ‘buffer zone’ between Russian held territory and NATO within Ukraine.

Factually, as previously admitted and outlined by reporting from the New York Times, it is U.S. military and intelligence assets in the region who are leading the attacks from bases in Germany and the front lines within Ukraine.

The New York Times published two articles {HERE and HERE} revealing: 1) that U.S. military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. (2) The U.S. military is actively involved in the ongoing targeting of strikes into Russia. (3) The CIA is operating in Ukraine and conducting targeted strikes into the Russian Federation mainland.

The sourcing for the New York Times outline of American leadership against Russian Federation troops was transparently generated by U.S. military and intelligence leaks intended to stop any negotiations between President Trump and President Putin.  Since the release of those articles two months ago, they have succeeded in exactly that.

President Trump may not want to engage in the conflict with Russia, but the NATO alliance is not willing to allow him any independent retreat.  The recent Romanian election outcome solidified their stranglehold on the geopolitical interests at stake.

Romania is currently building the largest NATO base in Europe, and Vladimir Putin can see the intention therein with very clear eyes.  Unfortunately, American students are no longer taught geography or history in school, because one simple look at a map tells us the motives and intents.

Did a Ukrainian Drone Strike Almost Kill Putin in Kursk? Unpacking Reports of a Danger to President

Alarge scale Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian Kursk region on May 20 was reported by Russian sources five days later to have coincided with a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Air defence division commander Yuri Dashkin reported regarding the incident that president while onboard his helicopter was “at the epicentre of repelling a large-scale attack by the enemy’s drones… The intensity of the attack during the flight of the aircraft with the Commander-in-Chief over the territory of the Kursk Region increased significantly. Therefore, we simultaneously conducted an air defence battle and ensured the safety of the presidential helicopter’s flight in the air.” Dashkin’s statement indicates that the president’s helicopter may have been at risk. Drones have on multiple occasions been used to bring down combat aircraft during flight, including heavily armoured Russian military helicopters, which can be vulnerable due to their large sizes and relatively slow speeds compared to fixed wing aircraft. 

A further danger during an attack by multiple drones remains the possibility of friendly fire by local air defences, with incidents of Russian and Ukrainian shootdowns of their own high value aircraft while seeking to repel enemy air attacks having been reported frequently since the outbreak of full scale hostilities between the two countries in February 2022. There remains a significant possibility that the presence of President Putin’s helicopter during the Ukrainian drone attack significantly complicated air defence efforts, potentially forcing defenders to rely on infrared guided missiles, anti-aircraft guns, and electronic warfare, to reduce the possibility of friendly fire harming the commander in chief. Incidents where heads of state have been placed in the line of fire having been few and far between in the past half century, in particular for the leaders of major military powers such as Russia. There remains a significant possibility that the Ukrainian drone strike may have been launched in the knowledge of Putin’s general location.

Russia introduces first class of nuclear-tipped, air-to-air missiles

The Russian Aerospace Forces have begun to introduce the service’s first class of nuclear-tipped air-to-air missile into service, according to a report by the U.S. Armed Forces Defence Intelligence Agency. While little remains known regarding the missile class, it is widely expected to be a new variant of the R-37M – a missile class that was first introduced in the mid-2010s.

The R-37M carries a very large 60 kilogram warhead, around three times the size of those usually integrated onto air-to-air missiles, which provides a greater capacity to integrate a miniaturised nuclear warhead. If fired from high altitudes and at high speeds by MiG-31BM interceptors, the missile can engage targets up to 400 kilometres away. The R-37M is the world’s fastest known air-to-air missile class with a Mach 6 speed, and has the second longest range int he world surpassed only by that of the Chinese PL-XX. It is manoeuvrable enough to be able to neutralise small fighter sized aircraft. The integration of nuclear warheads onto the R-37M would allow a single Russian fighter or interceptor to neutralise full squadrons of enemy targets, entire salvoes of cruise missiles, or large swarms of drones, with each MiG-31BM interceptor or Su-35 fighter able to carry four missiles. 

The fielding of nuclear-tipped air-to-air missiles follows a broader trend in the Russian Armed Forces towards using nuclear assets to asymmetrically counter the much larger forces of the country’s NATO adversaries. A nuclear armed variant of the R-37M could be particularly useful against stealth aircraft such as the F-35, which has been deployed in very significant and growing numbers across the country’s European, Arctic and Far Eastern borders by Western Bloc and allied states.

16 missiles with a range of 10,000 km on one submarine: the Russian nuclear colossus shocked Poland and its allies

At a time when the global security climate is becoming increasingly tense, the Polish public is alarmed by the announcement that the Russian submarine “Knyaz Pozharsky” (Prince Pozharsky) is approaching its first major operational phase. 

It is a submarine of the Borey-A class, the pinnacle of modern Russian naval engineering, which carries in its arsenal what is already called “doomsday missiles” in the West – as many as 16 Bulava intercontinental missiles.

According to information published by the Polish newspaper Dziennik, the Russian Navy is ready to further strengthen its North Sea fleet with this underwater giant.

And it’s not just another submarine – it’s a symbol of a new phase of Russian naval strategy. “Knyaz Pozharsky” uses the OK-650 nuclear reactor for propulsion, and its crew numbers about one hundred people.

The vessel is able to remain on mission for a long period of time, and what worries Western observers the most is the range and payload of its missiles.

Major breakthrough on nuclear deal with Iran imminent

Trump says US close to a nuclear deal with Iran

DUBAI (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States was getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran, and Tehran had “sort of” agreed to the terms.

“We’re in very serious negotiations with Iran for long-term peace,” Trump said on a tour of the Gulf, according to a shared pool report by AFP.

“We’re getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this… there (are) two steps to doing this, there is a very, very nice step and there is the violent step, but I don’t want to do it the second way,” he said.

Top Iranian official says Tehran would forgo highly enriched uranium in nuclear deal with Trump

Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions with President Donald Trump in exchange for lifting economic sanctions, a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader told NBC News on Wednesday. 

Ali Shamkhani, a top political, military and nuclear adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is one of the most senior Iranian officials to speak publicly about the ongoing discussions. 

He said Iran would commit to never making nuclear weapons, getting rid of its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium which can be weaponized, agree to enrich uranium only to the lower levels needed for civilian use, and allow international inspectors to supervise the process, in exchange for the immediate lifting of all economic sanctions on Iran.

Asked if Iran would agree to sign an agreement today if those conditions were met, Shamkhani said, “Yes.”

This indicates Iran is stepping down from any pretention of being hegemon in the Middle East. This is a fundamental aspect of control of the Middle East shifting to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), away from either Iran or Israel. Trump has almost succeeded in helping raise the entire region above the fray, moving it toward at least better conditions if not a lasting peace. ABN

Rogue communication devices found in Chinese solar power inverters

LONDON, May 14 (Reuters) – U.S. energy officials are reassessing the risk posed by Chinese-made devices that play a critical role in renewable energy infrastructure after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of them, two people familiar with the matter said.

Power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids. They are also found in batteries, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers.

While inverters are built to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility companies that use them typically install firewalls to prevent direct communication back to China.

However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.

Over the past nine months, undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers, one of them said.

It is reasonable to suspect Israel fudged its covid vax stats, thus misleading the world

Not sure if the graphic below is slanted or not but it does remind me that Israel very well could have volunteered to be the ‘lab rat’ for the covid vax because that enabled them to fudge the stats.

The telling detail is Israel is the only ‘fully vaxxed’ country in the world to see its birthrate go up and not down after vaxxing. Scare quotes around ‘fully vaxxed’ because they would have been in a position to administer saline injections instead of the real vax, which has harmed so many, especially pregnant women and their fetuses.

Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, including victims of Jewish Supremacy. ABN

__________

I generally do not post super-loud images like this one but given the savagery of the Gaza massacre and my own personal knowledge of the intense and vicious savagery of covert Jewish Supremists wherever they are, including in USA, I believe it is appropriate. Moreover, both Israel and USA knew all about 10/07 long before it happened and both allowed it to happen, or even made it happen on purpose (MIHOP). The great majority of Israelis killed that day were killed by the IDF. ABN

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg Supply

New study finds rats injected intramuscularly with human-equivalent mRNA doses suffered irreversible loss of primordial follicles — the foundation of fertility.

…Here’s what the study found in simple terms:

Severe Destruction of Ovarian Reserve

  • Rats injected intramuscularly with a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine — at a human-equivalent dose — experienced a >60% reduction in primordial follicles, the foundational egg supply for future fertility (p < 0.001).
  • The inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) also caused loss, but to a lesser extent.

Damage Targets Non-Renewable Egg Supply

  • The primordial follicle pool is finite and non-regenerating — females are born with all the eggs they will ever have.
  • Destruction of this pool is irreversible, leading to permanent fertility loss if translated to humans.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Levels Crashed

  • AMH, a hormone reflecting ovarian reserve, dropped significantly in the mRNA group — both in serum and in ovarian tissue (p < 0.001).
  • Lower AMH is associated with poor fertility outcomes and earlier menopause.

Elevated Cell Death and Inflammatory Signals

  • Increased expression of caspase-3 (a cell-death enzyme) and inflammatory markers like TGF-β1 and VEGF were found in vaccinated rats.
  • These biomarkers are linked to ovarian atresia, fibrosis, and long-term tissue damage.

More Severe Effects with mRNA Vaccines

  • Compared to the inactivated vaccine, the mRNA group had:
    • Fewer growing follicles (primary, secondary, antral, preovulatory)
    • More dying follicles (atretic)
    • Greater reductions in hormone markers of fertility

If these findings indeed apply to humans, the implications for global fertility rates are profound. This kind of damage — to a woman’s lifelong egg supply — is biologically irreversible.

Unfortunately, a recent study by Manniche et al indicates that these ovarian reserve destruction findings likely DO translate to humans. Among ~1.3 million Czech women aged 18–39, those vaccinated against COVID-19 had ~33% fewer successful pregnancies compared to unvaccinated women:
