Amir Tsarfati: Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy, Admiral Enrico Credendino: "Russian ships in the Mediterranean Sea are increasing in number and adopting an increasingly aggressive posture that was not usual in the Mediterranean and has not been seen since the Cold War.” Russia may supply Iran with fighter jets, Kirby says: U.S. officials believe that Russia may provide Iran with fighter jets, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday, in the latest sign of the growing defense cooperation between Moscow and Tehran. Iran has been supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine for months, Kirby emphasized to reporters. In November, Iran shipped artillery and tank rounds to Russia for use in Ukraine. Now, Russia is planning to cooperate with Iran to obtain more military equipment in return. Iran is also seeking to purchase attack helicopters, radars and combat trainer aircraft, he said. In total, Iran is hoping to obtain “billions of dollars” worth of military equipment from Russia. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/24/russia-iran-jets-kirby-00084362 Indeed wars and rumors of wars. The Ezekiel 38 war, Isiah 17 war, WWIII, and all the players that we are familiar with! We can't and shouldn't prevent the seven years of tribulation. The wars that the bible predicts shall surely come to pass! That said, I don't see us here for WWIII as well as long going conflicts between men! At this point in time it's not a matter of saving any nation or peoples but rather the saving of our salvation! Focus, focus, focus. TR MAJOR ESCALATION: Drone Attacks Strike Deep Inside Russia, Targeting Nation’s Oil Industry: Today’s reports mark stunning escalation of the proxy war between Russia & NATO, which now seems firmly on the path of World War III and potential thermonuclear war. We cannot over emphasize: PREPARE Zero Hedge reports that Russia came under attack by multiple drones on Tuesday, with one of those drones reportedly causing a fire at an oil depot in the southern part of the country, and another hitting outside Moscow. The attack on the oil facility happened in Tuapse, which lies about 150 miles southeast of the Crimean peninsula, with Reuters citing local media to report, “Emergency services put out a fire at an oil depot in southern Russia overnight after a drone was spotted flying overhead, the RIA news agency said on Tuesday.” Another drone crashed in the Moscow region on the same day. . . The Russian defense ministry in a statement made mention of a third drone attack in southern Russia, close in time to the attack on the oil facility which it says was intercepted. Amir Tsarfati: Major escalation in the war: Is the above report going to be the instigator for a major and unusual Russian move? An emergency meeting in Moscow is underway now. This is not going to be a quiet day! A video of the armed Ukrainians in the Russian villages. This is to say: “We Ukrainians have invaded Russia." The Kremlin described it as a terror attack. What will Putin do? And last Friday … ANOTHER 400 billion military aid package going to Ukraine because …the U.S. politicians said “we are in it to win it”. One watcher said … “Well, I’m putting Zelensky down as a dependent on my taxes!” :mdrmdr: - Fair Use - :mdrmdr: Report: Russia and Iran reach secret nuclear deal on uranium transfers: Foreign intelligence sources tell Fox News Digital that Iran has secured secret deals with Russia to guarantee deliveries of uranium. The Intelligence officials said, "President Putin, who made a special trip to Iran to pursue weapons deals between the two countries, agreed to approve the request, apparently due to his interest in compensating the Iranians for their assistance." Talks about the secret deals also unfolded between Moscow and Tehran during August 2022, when Iran’s regime was providing a shot into the arm of Putin’s war machinery in Ukraine. Five Doves, KS Rajan: Lots of Russian soldiers want to surrender. Ukraine makes it easier with a high-tech hotline: Bound for the battlefield, sounding harried and anxious, the Russian soldier placed a hasty phone call — to a Ukrainian military hotline. "They say you can help me surrender voluntarily, is that right?" asked the serviceman. . . . the “I Want to Live” outreach was born, aimed at providing invading forces with step-by-step information on how to abandon the ranks. The chatbot, together with the hotline, has drawn nearly 10,000 contacts, according to organizers. When it comes to surrenders in the field, both sides are aware that the moment carries enormous risk for all involved, he said. “In general, it’s a very dangerous process,” said Matvienko. But strict protocols, clearly laid out in advance, improve the odds of everyone staying alive. Russians who want to turn themselves in are told to wave a white cloth, remove the magazines from their guns, point the barrels to the ground and eschew body armor and helmets. They are assured that in the event they want to be sent home in a prisoner swap, their paperwork will reflect that they were captured, not that they gave up voluntarily. Western analysts say it has become more widely known within Russia that Moscow’s commanders have scant regard for the lives and welfare of their own troops. “With their own eyes, they see they are nothing more than cannon fodder." https://news.yahoo.com/lots-russian-soldiers-want-surrender-100029309.html” That seems hard to trust!? After this all began, there were pictures and reports of Russian soldiers being slaughtered in the worst grotesque ways when they were captured...?

If the below report from Zero Hedge says anything, it’s that we have now entered a new and very concerning phase of this nasty war playing out in a very nasty part of the world. In my opinion, the purpose of this war, from the West’s and NATO’s perspective, is to facilitate a regime change in Russia and get a more “green” friendly puppet leader installed in the Kremlin.
Russia’s Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz reported today that a Ukrainian military drone carried out a strike on the village of Sushany in the region’s Klimovsky District, causing a residential building to catch fire.
Earlier today, Bogomaz reported that Ukrainian saboteurs had entered the Klimovsky District and shelled a vehicle in the village of Liubechane.
The Russian tabloid Telegram channels Baza and Mash reported that “Ukrainian saboteurs” took several people hostage in the village of Sushany. According to the Russian state news outlet TASS, up to six people are being held hostage.
Various media sources have reported that the group of “saboteurs” consists of 40–50 people. According to Baza, an electrical substation and a gas station in Sushany exploded, and Russian soldiers are engaged in combat with the “saboteurs.” TASS also reported armed clashes between Russian soldiers and Ukrainian “saboteurs,” while state news outlet RIA Novosti reported that hostages have been taken in Liubechane.
The Ukrainian authorities have not commented on these reports.
