Pictured above: the city of Le Havre was flattened by totally gratuitous, genocidal Allied bombing across Normandy, during and following D-Day in France on June 6, 1944. Come to think of it, Le Havre looked just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, after they were wiped off the face of the map with atomic bombs. What a coincidence.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]oday marks the 77th anniversary of the Allied D-Day Landing in France.
I’m sure not going to make any friends among the French side of my family, by writing this post. They have roots in Normandy and have been coming to Arromanches-les-Bains for summer vacations for four generations.
I live in this small village where Allied troops arrived on D-Day, June 6th, 1944, with their celebrated floating port, that was shipped over from England and built on site, to bring in all the materiel needed for the invasion. The family house we live in was billeted as the Allied post office and we can see the landing beach from it. On the paternal side, the other house here was taken over as a military command, since it looks right out over the water, where the port was built. Needless to say, my attachment to D-Day is above average.
The landing was a daring, brilliant operation, getting high marks as a feat of engineering, while thousands of US, British and Canadian soldiers died during and after the invasion.
Today there will be lots of celebrations. Normally, thousands of people, including global leaders and dignitaries come, but with the great reset covid plandemic, it is just a bunch of European tourists.
So far, so good. Be that as it may, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been snubbed for years, as has Chinese President Xi Jinping. Russia always invites Western leaders to attend Victory Day in Moscow, every May 9th. Since 2015, V-Day in China is honored on September 3rd and all Western leaders are invited (http://chinarising.puntopress.com/2015/09/04/from-may-9th-in-moscow-to-september-3rd-in-beijing-the-anti-west-order-comes-full-circle-moscow-beijing-express-on-the-saker-44-days-radio-sinoland/). Nevertheless, Eurangloland leaders continue to refuse to participate in these events, which is a sad statement indeed, about the arrogance and racism of empire. To do so would be to admit the truth: Allied forces did not liberate Europe and Asia from global fascism. The Soviet Union (Russia) and China did.
Yes, thousands of Allied soldiers died during World War II and with them, a total of 966,000 military and civilian people in the two theaters, east and west, were lost among the Five Eyes allied countries: the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-worldwide-deaths-world-war). At the same time, Russia and China each lost no fewer than 27,000,000 citizens each, a total of more than 50 million, with credible research showing they each nation lost closer to 35 million compatriots, or 70 million total. Even at the lower figure, Russia and China lost 50 times more people than the allied countries together. Put another way, the Allies lost 2% as many people as Russia and China combined.
The USA’s senseless, genocidal bombing slaughter in China was and is completely censored by the BLPM and expunged from the history books...
More statistics reveal hard truths that totally demystify relentless, Western Big Lie Propaganda Machine (BLPM) brainwash. In June 1944, when the Allies landed outside my window, Germany had 287 divisions of troops, with seven in Germany, 150 on the Eastern Front and 66 on the Western (French) Front. You can do the math. This means that the D-Day landing was doing battle against only 23 percent of the Wehrmacht’s forces (https://www.axishistory.com/axis-nations/134-campaigns-a-operations/campaigns-a-operations/2085-number-of-german-divisions-by-front-in-world-war-ii). This, while the Soviet Red Army was grinding Nazis into dog food, on its relentless drive towards Berlin, losing millions of its own in the process.
It’s the same story in the Pacific, about which I wrote in The China Trilogy. Mao Zedong and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were fighting three enemies simultaneously: fascist Japan, fascist Chiang Kai-Shek’s Guomindang (GMD, oftentimes noted as KMT) and imperialist United States. Western propaganda likes to censor the fact that the US gave GMD billions of dollars in weapons, materiel and training, with 100,000 red-white-and-blue military personnel fighting side-by-side with them, along with many remaining Japanese troops, trying to exterminate the unstoppable Chinese Communist revolution.
Before Japan’s surrender on September 3rd, 1945 to China, the United States in the Pacific theater was fighting only 18% of the Japanese Imperial Army. The other 82% were bogged down in China and Japan, thanks to Mao Zedong, the PLA (People’s Liberation Army), millions of revolutionary citizen martyrs, whose heroic efforts freed their nation from foreign terrorism and the West’s illegal drug cartel (opium, morphine and heroin) that was destroying the Chinese people.
The Allies had a hell of a time fighting against only 23% of Germany’s might in France and the US had its hands full fighting 18% of Japan’s forces. Let’s be honest, if it weren’t for the Russians and Chinese killing the vast majority of fascist Axis troops, and dying themselves by the tens of millions to reach victory, it’s highly unlikely the Allies would have gotten very far against a bigger force in the two theaters. In both cases, the Allies got into World War II when Russian and Chinese victories were already a foreseen conclusion.
What we can say is that the Allies helped prevent the Soviets from invading Japan, which they were preparing to do, and they stopped the Red Army in Germany, instead of them being able to finish off the Nazi Wehrmacht in France. The Allies can take credit for reducing Stalin’s negotiating chips by five countries, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Lichtenstein, but that’s about it. Germany and Japan would have still lost against the Russians and Chinese, without any Allied participation. These sobering truths are vehemently refuted and censored behind the Great Western Firewall, with two generations of BLPM psychological warfare, ongoing, but are undeniable.
Truman’s atomic bombs that incinerated two cities’ worth of civilians, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were not the reason the Japanese emperor surrendered to the United States on August 14th, 1945.
Sociopath LeMay.
First, as background, General Curtis LeMay was transferred from Europe to China in the fall of 1944. He was not satisfied with the destructiveness of classic (saturation) bombing missions with traditional aerial bombs being used in China and Japan. Harvard University had just developed their M69 incendiary bomb, with a war crime concoction of phosphorous and napalm. LeMay’s psychopathy and Yankee racism, that is, being able to quickly kill lots of “Yellow niggers” on a grand scale (https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2018/01/06/slavs-and-the-yellow-peril-are-niggers-brutes-and-beasts-in-the-eyes-of-western-empire-china-rising-radio-sinoland/), aligned for American genocide in China and Japan. Wuhan, a mighty industrial center on the Yangtze River, and in Mao Zedong’s home province, was a hotbed of communist activity, as well as being used by the Japanese as a logistics base. Red Chinks and Yellow Nips was a two-fer trophy for LeMay and the US Air Force. Double the fun.
On December 18th, 1944, 94 US B-29 Fortress Super Bombers were loaded full, with 500 tons of Harvard’s genocidal M69 bombs. In a matter of a few hours, 40,000 innocent Wuhan citizens were incinerated, along with their neighborhoods (www.chinaww2.com/2015/09/12/the-us-firebombing-of-wuhan-part-1/).
Not stopping there, the USA continued to mass bomb Taiwan, China, which was isolated and a threat to no one.
On March 1st, 1945, on Tainan, Taiwan, one of the island’s largest and oldest cities, 44 B-24 Liberators dropped 387 incineration 500-pound bombs across residential areas. On March 12-13, 1945, another 84 1,000-pounders were unleashed on the citizens below. On March 20th, 1945, 34 B-24s finished off the civilian city of Tainan with 260-pound fragmentation bombs, 100-pound napalm bombs and 100-pound incineration bombs, burning untold thousands of innocents.
The USA genocide in China continued in Taipei, Taiwan, where only civilian targets were left. On May 31st, 1945, 117 B-24s dropped 3,800 bombs in the heart of the city, in only three hours. Officially, 3,000 were killed, which was likely a gross underestimate, and the wounded weren’t even counted, since the US-supported GMD fled to the island after losing to the communist PLA.
The USA’s senseless, genocidal bombing slaughter in China was and is completely censored by the BLPM and expunged from the history books.
Having shown its effectiveness in exterminating tens of thousands of civilians, as well as incinerating their homes in a matter of hours, it was time for the USA to begin its campaign of genocide in Japan. Kobe was the first city to be scorched off the face of Japan’s map, in February, 1945 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M69_incendiary). American genocidists had the blood lust, racist-filled time of their lives, continuing to incinerate 67 Japanese cities by fire bombing. Millions of women, children and elderly were torched to death, while causing many more millions to be homeless and dying of starvation. With Japan becoming a weak US, postwar vassal, these numbers are heavily officially underestimated.
Still, the emperor did not call it quits. This, while the United States repeatedly refused Japan’s requests to negotiate a surrender. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were simply cities number 68 and 69 to be pulverized into non-existence, along with 200,000 innocents turned to dust. Déjà vu. Tokyo lost 100,000 on March 9th, as many as each of these two A-bombed cities, and millions more were slaughtered in between. The fact that the Japanese knew the two A-bombs were different than the 2,000,000 high-explosive and 5,000,000 incendiary bombs that had already destroyed the country was of no consequence to them (https://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_bombs_were_dropped_in_Japan_during_World_War_2).
Losing two more cities on top of the 67 already disappeared was not why he surrendered. What caused the emperor to capitulate was that the Soviet Red Army had just wiped out Japan’s best army, the one in Manchuria, in Northern China. The Russians annihilated 80,000 of Japan’s finest in just ten days, and were heading for the Yellow Sea coast to launch an invasion of Japan. The thought of 100,000 Red Army troops (he was anti-communist and racist against the “Slavic hoard”) swarming over what was left of Japan was why the emperor surrendered, not because the US torched two more cities to the ground, on top of the previous 67. This is another statement of fact that is continually denied by the West’s BLPM.
Nor are these some pro-commie ravings. Even uber-establishment Foreign Policy magazine admitted the same thing (https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/30/the-bomb-didnt-beat-japan-stalin-did/).
[dropcap]B[/dropcap]ack here in France, there is another dirty, dark secret about D-Day, and that is the Allies gratuitously massacred tens of thousands of French citizens in Normandy, leading up to and after June 6th, 1944. The United States and Britain committed war crimes, by needlessly bombing many cities in Normandy and beyond in France, when they knew that they were not killing German troops, nor destroying their materiel.
These genocidal D-Day bombings caused the unnecessary death of 50,000 French citizens, war crimes all. American soldiers also found the time to rape 3,620 French girls and women before and after the invasion. Yank troops also raped 2,420 English lassies behind the lines, and 11,040 German ladies on the front. Given that only one out of ten rapes is ever reported, this shocking truth was undoubted grossly underreported (https://wais.stanford.edu/ztopics/week020105/france_050201_civilianskilledinwwII.htm), as it was in Japan, Korea, Vietnam and everywhere US soldiers are stationed.
All in all, the Allies bombed over 1,500 cities and towns in France, most of them at least 75% leveled. Along with the 50,000 aforementioned massacred, 100,000 French were injured, and millions were left homeless and starving, having lost 420,000 homes, with another 890,000 partially destroyed. Let those numbers sink into your grey matter for a while. The occupying Germans killed around 30,000 Frenchmen, making them look like honorable saints, compared to the bloodthirsty Allies.
Italy was also gratuitously wiped out by Allied bombs. In fact, over one-third of all Allied bombs in Europe were dropped on France and Italy, with 60,000 Italians also exterminated (https://impact.ref.ac.uk/casestudies/CaseStudy.aspx?Id=36238). Why, except to weaken two large non-Anglo-Saxon “allies” and make them totally dependent on the USA and Britain, postwar? Spain and Portugal were already loyal fascist dictatorships in service to Western global capitalism, so along with Germany destroyed, the economic, industrial and agricultural heartland of Europe was devastated by all this genocide and infrastructure destruction.
Having come to Arromanches many times since 1988 (and living here for five years in the late 90s), I can attest that the French are in complete denial about the Allied genocide. It is telling that the English version of Wikipedia lists 50,000 killed, whereas the same page in French records only 20,000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Normandy and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardement_de_la_Normandie). A humiliating and shameful reality that the French cannot face, it was finally publicly acknowledged by a leading official, President François Hollande, in 2014, for the 70th D-Day landing anniversary, right here in little Arromanches-les-Bains (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27703724). That year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was allowed to come and participate (the last time since and Xi Jinping never invited). Knowing the true facts about World War II and who really won the war and with Putin standing nearby, maybe Hollande made it official out of a guilty conscience.
The West developed its bloodlust for massacring millions from the air during World War II. Germany killed 20,000 Brits by aerial bombing. Allies bombed more than 1,000 German cities, just like they did all across France, Italy and Japan, targeting above all else many millions of innocent civilian women, children and elderly and destroying thousands of cultural and religious heritage sites (http://www.revisionist.net/bombing-germany.html and https://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=55). It was even official policy, as told to the bomber pilots,
It has been decided that the primary objective of your operations should now be focused on the morale of the enemy civil population and in particular, of industrial workers. The aim is the destruction of German cities, the killing of German workers and the disruption of civilized community life throughout Germany. It should be emphasized that the destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives; the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale; and the breakdown of morale both at home and at the battle fronts by fear of extended and intensified bombing are accepted and intended aims of our bombing policy, they are not by-products of attempts to hit factories. – U.K. Bomber Commander Arthur Harris, 1942, showing pilots a list of 60 German cities to be wiped off the map.
Having whet their appetite for aerial genocide in World War II, the West went on to even greater crimes against humanity, obliterating millions more in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Serbia, with many more and now, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere (https://williamblum.org/chapters/rogue-state/united-states-bombings-of-other-countriesand https://wikispooks.com/wiki/US/Bombing_campaigns_since_1945). The list is long. This does not even include hundreds of lethal civilian drone strikes, happening day after day.
No, it was not German and Japanese fascists who invented it, in spite of all the BLPM brainwash. Western total war (burn all, steal all, kill all – and we can add rape all) has been perfected since biblical times, where it is sanctioned and glorified in the Old Testament/Torah, and with advances in technology over the ages, is blood splattered across Eurangloland’s history books and daily headlines. Nobody does it better.
CODA
Russians will not tolerate air attacks
Now do you understand why the war-wise and immensely war-averse Russians are also the world leaders in air-attack denial technology? Why they also lead in formidable hypersonic missiles, electronic warfare, ABM technology, and near-space fighter planes, all veritable game-changers in global strategy? The development and leadership of air defence systems such as the S-400 and soon S-500, unmatched by the West, is no accident. The Russians will never allow any enemy to destroy them from the air—the Anglo-American's favorite way of killing. (Photo: S-400 air defence battery).

Mr. B
A few observations:
The NATO states are victims of their own success in weaponizing Finance and USD. In their economic war of choice against the Islamic Republic of Iran they demonstrated two things:
They will renege on their promises should they so wish
Weaker states cannot retaliate against their economic wars of choice
They would conclude (temporary) ceasefire with an adversary, to come back at a later time, abrogate that deal, and attempt to crush that adversary.
The last Shah Abbas I of Sadavi practiced all 3 against the Ottomans and the Uzbeks 450 year ago - nothing new here.
In the absence of credible positive inducements by the NATO states to Russia, a temporary cease-fire, until the next US President assume office, is the best that US could hope to get. What would Americans offer? Or the Europeans? Not sure. But it cannot be much.
Furthermore, Mr. Putin and the Russian government officials are aware of what happened to Iraq, Libya, and Iran - there are now limits as to what they would be willing to exchange to achieve this limited-duration, low-cost ceasefire.
Russia can no longer afford to ignore the danger Ukraine represents. I speculate that Sevastopol would be where Russian will strike next, removing the ability of Ukraine to be supplied from the Black Sea.

This is the first I have heard that Volker said “Success is confrontation” with Russia. But I shouldn't be surprised. As Martyanov said the US has been Ukrainized from top to bottom - which is the objective of the CIA that runs agitprop operations through Ukraine and back into the US. Volker almost got the start of his war in Ukraine earlier this year. He and his vermin keep trying to lite the fuse and one day it will explode.

@b The U.S. wants to take on China. The U.S. recognized that it can not take on China and Russia simultaneously. Russia must thus be split from its China alliance and brought back into Europe.
I disagree. Russia has always been a designated US enemy in order to retain US leadership and military presence in Europe. This "I'm your daddy" relationship is of the utmost importance. It greatly augments US power to govern the world politically, especially with the United Kingdom, and militarily it gives the US power to use NATO nations against other designated US enemies such as Syria, Libya and Afghanistan, and now China if Washington can do it. So Russia must retain its position as a US enemy.
The Russia threat now more than ever is needed to justify a half-million person US Army ground force now spending billions on modernization to face -- guess who -- Russia. The US Army offers zero application to any dust-up with China. It's Navy (with Marines) and Air Force only. Army need not apply. (Hey, this is a good thing, because it shortchanges Navy even further in a time of a shrinking Pentagon budget. Navy can't grab Army money at a time when the naval force is actually shrinking, and ships can't be maintained properly.)
Bottom line: The furtherance of the US security state needs Russia as a continuing enemy.

Sebastopol is Russia, not only that, together with Moscow they are the only cities with Federal Status, something like Washington DC. so striking Sebastopol makes no sense.
Maybe the poster meant Odessa so as to recover all territories with historical Russian roots.
There might be some kind of deal behind the scene but the US is not in a position of strength, Russia will not give up its relation with China, it can not afford to do so for US promises that never materialize, like not moving NATO one inch to the east, the snake oil sale has been going on for so long that there are no takers anymore.
Some details concerning Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine might be negotiated, but that's about it.
The tone of officialdom in Russia has been harsh lately, especially Zakharova and Lavrov, Putin tends to be milder but he too gave an interview plainly stating that NATO missiles in Kharkov or Dnepropetrovsk are a red line, which means Ukraine will not be a NATO member anytime soon. The "partner" reference to the west is becoming a thing of the past.

"President Vladimir Zielenski the green light to move his military to the contact line, and led an orchestrated denunciation of Russia and all its work loudly..."
I'm pretty sure that was Zielenski's own little psyop, for the purpose of getting noticed by the Big White Father in Washington. And, by the way, he's got it: the Big White Father in Washington dialed his number. Mission accomplished.
"It followed that the United States should not be conducting all-out ‘Cold War’ with China and Russia simultaneously."
But the United States is currently conducting Cold War with China and Russia simultaneously. It certainly couldn't conduct Hot War with both, or probably with either, but I don't see why conducting Cold War with both would be a problem.
The more mortal enemies abroad, the easier to manage internal affairs.

Those who read deeply into the articles and documents I provided on the previous thread about the state of Russia's nuclear industry versus that of the Outlaw US Empire will have noted the latter has no capacity to do the sort of upgrade contemplated to its nuclear weapons systems. The plea to Trump that he refused from the domestic uranium mining corps was a very signal event very hushed up. When Putin announced Russia's new systems, I declared any future arms race already concluded, and that's certainly the case. The Outlaw US Empire has produced so many lies about itself--particularly its economic condition--that when reality finally hit, it coldcocked many, yet a large faction--Volker, et al--refuse to accept that reality and continue to formulate policy based on extreme falsehoods. And of course, Putin and company know the real score.

Not quite right.
1. as has been explained previously over and over, USA doesn't aim to "win". USA wants to sow CHAOS. CHAOS is good enough for USA. CHAOS in Syria, CHAOS in Ukraine, CHAOS at the Indian/China border, CHAOS in Myanmar, CHAOS in South China Sea. That's the best USA CAN do and it IS doing it. CHAOS is stalemate. All the "wars" USA has fought since WWII had to create/cause CHAOS: Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Middle East, Yemen. As long as there is CHAOS in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, USA wins by NOT losing.
2. USA/West KNOW Russia/Putin have now had enough experience to know not to trust ANYTHING USA/West/NATO says, but to what they do. They STILL think Putin/Russia want to be "pals" with the West, but that ship sailed a few years ago. They don't want to make pals with Russia to sever Russia/CHina's partnership. No way, no how.
3. Besides, they KNOW Russia and China aren't really that great of friends. Russia and CHina don't really trust each other, their so-called "friendship" is only economic and hardly political. Russia made a big mistake once again NOT forming a formal military and political alliance with China, because Russia is afraid that China is too powerful and Russia will be the junior partner. That is why USA/West/NATO aren't really THAT worried about the shaky Russia/China "partnership".
4. USA/West/NATO aren't dumb, in fact, their think tanks ARE filled with pretty smart people who do give them the right information and assessment of the situation. To say the USA/West/NATO are morons who bungle things is totally false and presents a false sense of superiority. Their plans are going pretty well. Look point 1, CHAOS is what they hope for.
5.Navalny is another red herring that USA/West use to put sanctions on Russia. They obviously don't care about Navalny as long as they have an excuse to put more sanctions. That's what they are after more sanctions. They will really begin to pile on the sanctions in the summer after the meeting, in July/August. They saw how the Soviet Union buckled under the sanctions and they think the same will happen again, or at least the sanctions will stop Russia's development (which is quite correct, it WILL slow it down considerably) and so on. and soi on.

Russia is not terribly interested in negotiations with declining entities that don't have much to offer. It can wait. Why negotiate now if you will have a better hand later?
What can the US offer to Russia? Weapons reductions? Russia has the upper hand there. Let the highly indebted US bankrupt itself in arms race attempts to catch up. Lifting of sanctions? Sanctions will matter less and less since the western share in the global economy is declining. Ukraine? Russia does not want to pay for Ukraine, and gas flows are no longer dependent on it.

Well, the US had negotiations with USSR back in the 1980s, when the former was winning and the latter was slowly collapsing. This is the same, in reverse - heck, in both cases, the falling superpower had a succession of old farts at its head. You don't want the Big Bad with nukes to go down in flames, taking half the world with it.
"It would send a signal globally that authoritarians can get away with aggressive acts at home"
Someone should really explain to shitheads and other human-rights worshippers that a regime can do absolutely whatever it wants at home, no country or external power should have any say about what happens inside another country's borders - whatever nastiness and suffering a dictator, junta, regime, king or whatever might cause to his people. This has been the absolute core of international relations since the end of the Thirty Years War. Things heat up and go very badly when a major power decides not to follow this basic principle - think Napoleon, WW II, US meddling of the last decades.
