🧵: My take Kursk is a British operation US unhappy about has gotten lot of pushback, so let's dive into this. Key point is previously, Washington distanced iself from Kiev's escalatory actions by claiming a lack of foreknowledge. It has never actively condemned them. Until now.

On Aug 15th, Empire house journal Foreign Policy published scathing article on widespread US displeasure about the "counterinvasion" - from its "military logic", risk of escalation, and the "extremely awkward position" it has thrust Biden admin into.

A day later, The Times reported US had blocked Ukraine from firing British-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia, which London greenlit with much fanfare months earlier. I took this as a sign the Empire had had enough of London's escalations and was seeking to rein in its client

🧵: I speculated earlier was probably Britain behind Kursk suicide op. Lo and behold, a Times article confirms this. More broadly, contents amply underline Kursk latest effort by London to keep the US in the proxy war - and it appears Washington has finally had enough of this.

Times reveals up top heavily promoted footage of British Challenger 2 tanks in Kursk was a conscious, deliberate decision made by new PM Keir Starmer and his defence secretary John Healey. British equipment is said to have "played a central role" in the "counterinvasion".

First I'm hearing London greenlit Ukraine using British equipment to strike Russia in Feb 2022. As Active Measures exposed, British officials - including Boris Johnson - led a campaign to pressure countries providing Kiev with weapons to do the same.

It's NATO's 75th anniversary, so I visited beautiful Tasmajdan park to pay my respects to Milica, a bronze statue of a three year old girl killed in April 1999 by an alliance bombing raid. She was one of 89 children killed during NATO's criminal destruction of Yugoslavia.

Old enough to remember the jingoistic tubthumping in the British media, the claims NATO was crushing Milosevic with "precision" strikes, the calls for greater aggression. Meanwhile innocent people were dying and lives being destroying for *nothing*.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Publicly, NATO chiefs and media lackeys praised the bombing's effectiveness. Privately, British officials lamented that the campaign was achieving nothing, and the targets being struck were purely symbolic, for propaganda reasons. Civilian casualties were judged "worth the cost".

🧵: No list of 'journalists' complicit in Julian Assange's torture and persecution by the Empire could be complete without Carole Cadwalladr. Her rap sheet is extensive as it is shameful, so we'll focus on the worst example, published in April 2017...

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…

In March 2017, Nigel Farage visited Ecuadorian Embassy, trying to interview Julian Assange for @LBC. His request was denied. Cadwalladr, with some help from a "highly placed contact with links to US intelligence", spun this into a sinister effort to pass info from JA to Trump.

@LBC Cadwalladr admits this totally bogus story was fed to her by a "confidential source in the US". Presumably the same source quoted in the article. That source being the CIA. As has now been amply confirmed, the CIA was spying on Assange's every word/move in the Embassy all along.

🧵: With Julian free, time to name and shame 'journalists' who threw him under the bus. Exhibit A, @AyoCaesar. In brief, she effectively justified his incarceration on the bogus grounds women were "waiting to have their day in court" against him:

novaramedia.com/2019/04/15/jul…

'Assange is a rapist' psyop most devastatingly effective character assassination in history. People cheered his incarceration in Belmarsh, smearing his supporters as rape apologists. Fuck you all, from the bottom of my heart. @CaitOz has the receipts:

caityjohnstone.medium.com/assange-smear-…

@caitoz Anyway, back to @AyoCaesar's shameful AIDS-tier drivel. She claimed Julian's supporters believed "men who are heroes cannot possibly be creeps" when in reality he "has a case to answer." He didn't. According to Swedish prosecutors and his own accusers (!!!) he didn't.

🧵: Pretty wild. Georgia now restoring diplomatic relations with Russia, completely cut off by Tbilisi following August 2008 war. Empire spent vast sums and many years trying to turn country into a colony. They've completely fucked that all by sanctioning the Georgian government.

Often said NED-orchestrated 2003 Rose Revolution was "anti-Russian" in nature. Yet, displaced Eduard Shevardnadze was a close US ally. Georgia was second-largest recipient of aid behind Israel. They got bored of him though, so installed a new puppet.

mintpressnews.com/coup-cia-forei…

The EU and US bullying, threats and harassment of fairly elected Georgian politicians for passing legislation has not gone down well with large swaths of the public. This is a country with streets named after modern day Western leaders. A grand imperial project is now in ashes!
