______________________________________________________________________________________________
The largest air force deployment exercise in NATO history, Air Defender 23, kicks off today. Many people fear this “exercise” is actually a “cover” for NATO to directly involve itself in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and thereby commence World War 3, which would go nuclear.
From 12 to 23 June, 10,000 participants from 25 countries will train on 250 aircraft, including 190 combat aircraft, in European airspace.
Wunstorf Air Base in Germany is the centerpiece of the exercise, home to a purpose-built field tank farm.
The warehouse is the largest in Germany and holds about 2.4 million liters of kerosene. We are not hinting at anything.
On Saturday, about 300 people protested in front of the air base against NATO exercises. The protesters demanded diplomatic solutions instead of the use of weapons and called for an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
Hal Turner Editorial Opinion
Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop with the Russia-Ukraine Conflict which NATO uses as an excuse to involve itself directly. God knows NATO has done everything it knows how, to get Russia to attack them: NATO has provided Ukraine with guns, ammunition, artillery, shells, missiles, HIMARS MLRS, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconaissance and even targeting info on how and where to hit Russian troops. Countless BILLIONS in cash money has poured into Ukraine from NATO countries, to kill Russians.
That Russia has not taken this bait is amazing. The patience and self-discipline of the Russians and their leaders is mind-boggling. Yet, God bless them, the Russians have stayed the course.
In World War 2, Russia fought Nazi Germany. At the time, Russia was part of the then-Soviet Union, but it was Russia that lost the most in that war: 27 MILLION Russians were killed fighting NAZIS.
Fast-Forward to 2014, what pops-up in Ukraine? A NAZI infested government, installed by the West, after the West fomented, incited, and financed riots that toppled the government of President Viktor Yanukovich.
After overthrowing the Ukraine government, the West goaded Ukraine to start attacking the Russian-speaking populations of Luhansk and Donetsk. Those two provinces wanted to join Crimea and secede from Ukraine after it’s government was overthrown by the West. The new puppet government of Ukraine refused to allow those two provinces to secede, and instead, sent troops to begin attacking the Russian-speaking civilians there.
Russia covertly intervened with troops to help defend Luhansk and Donetsk. The two provinces, with Russian help, fought Ukraine to a standstill.
So the West got sneaky. A peace conference was called to meet in Minsk, Belarus. Ukraine, Luhansk, Donetsk, France, Germany, and Russia, attended. A peace agreement was signed . . . and Ukraine did not abide ANY of it for years after.
Turned out, the West overtly LIED during the Minsk Peace Talks. It came out later, that then-German-Chancellor Angela Merkel, and then-President of France, Francois Hollande, signed the Minsk Agreements knowing it was a ruse; they told the press in 2022, they just wanted to buy time to arm Ukraine!
So all the way back in the year 2014, it was the West’s intent to start a war between Ukraine and Russia!
For eight years, from 2014-2022, the West armed and trained Ukraine to NATO Standards. Ukraine had a standing army of 800,000; the largest in Europe.
In December, 2021, Ukraine massed more troops, tanks, artillery, fighter jets and the like, on the borders of Luhansk and Donetsk. The earlier years from 2014-2022 where Ukraine killed upwards of 13,000 civilians in Luhansk and Donetsk apparently wasn’t good enough; Ukraine was going to slaughter the people there.
Russia said “no” and stepped-in on February 24, 2022.
The West went nuts, claiming this was “an unprovoked aggression by Russia.” It wasn’t. It was provoked over, and over, and over again, by the West.
In the almost 16 months since the conflict began, NATO has done anything and everything it can to help Ukraine kill Russians. NATO failed. Ukraine is getting smashed on the battle field despite all of NATO’s help. Ukraine is losing the conflict – badly.
It is so bad for Ukraine that they have to draft 16 year old boys off the streets, at gunpoint – to force them to the front to fight. The bloodbath is horrifying, but NATO will not stop pushing Ukraine to fight further.
Yet for all its pushing of Ukraine to fight-on, and for all the equipment NATO has supplied to Ukraine . . . Russia is still winning. Russia just smashes all the gear being sent by NATO. Within the past 48 hours, look at what Russia did to NATO’s “advanced” weaponry:
Three out of the six Leopard 2R mine-clearing vehicles Finland donated to Ukraine have been lost in the same field.
With other engineering vehicles in the field as well, this is a massive loss for the brigade, no matter what.
Russia just moves right along, smashing and destroying everything NATO sends.
As you read this story on June 12, 2023, Ukraine’s only hope is for NATO to enter the war and fight Russia directly. But Russia has not attacked NATO. So at this point, an “incident” has to take place so as to justify NATO’s entry into the conflict. And THAT is what this “Air Defender, 2023” exercise is likely all about.
Someone is likely to create an “incident” which NATO will then use to justify its entry into the war.
From today through June 24, is the single most dangerous time in this world since the Cuban Missile crisis of 1962. If an “incident” is made to happen, and NATO enters the fight, it will go almost immediately to nuclear war. There will be no warning for any of us.
If you’re the praying type, now is the time. The world is going to look a lot different, and sooner than people might suspect. All it takes is one Keystone removed from the arch to threaten the entirety of the system upon which our society is based.
UPDATE 7:56 AM EDT —
NATO has already begun probing! NATO military aircraft are penetrating air space of the Black Sea:
Above is a “Rivet Joint” aircraft. The RC-135V/W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft supports theater and national level consumers with near real time on-scene intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination capabilities.
Features
The aircraft is an extensively modified C-135. The Rivet Joint’s modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Rivet Joint’s extensive communications suite.
Below, a NATO Fighter Jet:
This jet is a single-seat, Block 5 or later aircraft (built or upgraded from F2) and is known as Typhoon FGR4s. The new mark number represents the increased capabilities of the Block 5 aircraft (fighter/ground attack/reconnaissance). The FGR4 has from June 2008 achieved the required standard for multi-role operations.
The purpose of these flights is to test Russian reaction times and gather up-to-the-minute Intelligence. NATO is fixin’ for a fight.

UPDATE 8:45 AM EDT —
In Crimea, there has been an explosion on the railway tracks. This is reported by Russian media and telegram channels.
The driver of the freight train allegedly spotted the explosive device and applied emergency brakes.
As a result of the explosion, according to preliminary data, the tracks and a freight locomotive were damaged. According to some reports, two railway workers were injured.
The explosion occurred in the Kirov region of Crimea – in the east of the peninsula.
The movement of trains on the site has been stopped, repairs may take several hours, the head of the Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, wrote on his telegram channel.
(HT REMARK: This is clearly part of an effort to block Russian supply lines.)

UPDATE 9:22 AM EDT —
RUSSIAN CONVOY HIT BY TURK DRONE STRIKE – SYRIA!
A Russian soldier has been killed and 3 Russian soldiers were wounded after being in a Turkish drone strike in northern Syria this morning.
The Russian military column was traveling between the villages of Herbel and Maarat Umm Hawsh outside Aleppo.
TURKEY IS A MEMBER OF . . . NATO . . . .
UPDATE 10:48 AM EDT —
This is my current assessment of the Ukraine situation:
Today is Day 8 of Ukraine’s “Great Counter-offensive” and all they have to show for it is a few fields, and more troops stuck in meat grinders.
The “Counter-Offensive” is bogged down — badly — and the Vilnius, Lithuania, meeting of NATO is coming up fast. That is the meeting at which Ukraine must show NATO that it is has made real progress with the Counter-Offensive, or future assistance from NATO goes into great jeopardy.
For what it’s worth, by Day 8, Ukraine was __supposed to__ be mopping up Melitopol, should have cut off Mariupol by standing on the AZOV Coast, and should have been starting the assault on Crimea.
Nothing is going as planned. Ukraine is taking huge losses, and have not even managed to reach the First defense line of the Russians – anywhere!!!!
Think about THAT for just a moment; they have not yet encountered Russian actual defensive lines yet . . . anywhere . . . along the front. All they’ve encountered are Russian Recon and Pickets; which are smashing and destroying much of what Ukraine has already put forth.
NATO equipment? Not nearly as good as everyone thought it was.
NATO Tactics? Utter failure at almost every turn.
NATO is a failure. Ukraine is the proof.
Thank God we didn’t have to find out via an actual invasion during the Cold War by the then-Soviet-Union; we’d have had our clocks cleaned.
Once again, the incompetents running Washington, DC and our military, made another a huge mistake….
UPDATE 5:29 PM EDT —
As of today, Ukraine has lost (or abandoned to caputre) fifteen percent (15%) of the M2A2 Bradley Infantry Fighting vehicles donated to them for their “Counter-Offensive.” They achieved this 15% loss in eight (8) days.

+1 #Scott Ritter & Ukraine Failure — Dolph2023-06-12 20:54
Earlier today, this report concludes, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Melnik demanded of the socialist Western colonial powers: “The Ukrainian Army most urgently needs many more Western battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and other armor”—a demand joined by former US Marine intelligence officer and United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter assessing:
“Over the course of the past few days, Ukraine has thrown two of its best-trained, best-equipped mechanized brigades into offensive operations against entrenched Russian defenders in the Zaporozhye sector of the front lines.
These two brigades had been hand-picked for this job, having been equipped with modern Western tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, supported by Western-supplied artillery, and using NATO-specific tactics shaped by NATO-provided intelligence and NATO operational planning. In short, these two brigades represented a top-level NATO-level capability, the epitome of the nexus between Ukraine and the Collective West in their ongoing war to destroy Russia.
They failed.”

In stark contrast to the Russian peoples remaining faithful to their heritage and traditions, this report notes, the godless socialist Western colonial powers are destroying themselves, as best exampled by President Donald Trump proclaiming to the American peoples: “Biden is trying to jail his leading political opponent, just like they did in Stalinist Russia or in Communist China”—and further exampled by France now branded as a “rubber bullet democracy” after its socialist leader President Emanuel Macron began ruling by decree while using police forces to silence the millions protesting against him—and today it sees Security Council Member Valentina Matvienko most factually observing: “A deep crisis in liberal ideology has hit both Western nations and the world as a whole…Russia must end all illusions about the West…The West has always treated Russia as something alien to its civilization…Such a sentiment is deeply rooted in European society, and it cannot be just cast away…Western nations have embarked on a path of fierce confrontation with Moscow, following Washington in its attempts to preserve its global hegemony…Most modern Western politicians and government officials do not even try to understand that the world is going through a major transformation and is nothing like it was some 20-25 years ago…Modern Western leaders are obsessed with the idea of their civilization being chosen for some higher purpose and are adamant that they can make no mistake…It’s high time that Russia understood it can only communicate with the West from a position of power…The United States and its allies will only listen to the language of force”.

+2 #Russian Spiritual Revival! — Dolph2023-06-12 20:42
What terrifies the godless socialist Western colonial powers the most about Russia, this report continues, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia just observed: “What’s happening now in Russia is a unique phenomenon…The fact that an increasing number of new churches are being built in Russia shows that the nation is going through a spiritual revival…God-denying nations are still looking down on Russia and seek to teach us…They are almost ready to take up arms to remake Russia in their image…Western authorities claim there is no God but only an individual’s freedom…This denial of God has led to the deepest spiritual and moral crisis”.

I wonder how many armored vehicles and Ukrainian troops NATO is going to let turn to scrap metal and vulture food before Air “Defender” makes its move? Things on the ground aren’t going to be any different today, tomorrow, or on the 24th.
The West placed an order with Russia for assisted suicide in 2014. It doesn’t have to send more Uke kids and grandpas to get turned into steaming mush. Not every Ukrainian is a card carrying Nazi. Some are just kind of unlucky, sort of like us. The West is evil. And now its outdoing its own evil level by causing more unnecessary pitiful death before the “big one” is finally served to the West, as requested. Is there no bounds to the U.S. evil empire? So far Russia has refused to assist in our suicide. Has that been a good or a bad thing? I simply don’t know anymore.

Unaware he was being recorded, he had this to say:
I know what America is. America is something that can easily be moved, moved to the direction. 80% of Americans support us. It’s absurd. We have that kind of support.

The Church rightly rejoiced when Israel was reborn in 1948 fulfilling prophecy but is ignorant of Israel’s horrid behavior in the past of repeated rebellion including killing Christ and all the prophets, 1Thes.2:15. Two thirds of the Jews die in the coming tribulation, “Jacob’s Trouble”, Zech.13:8,9.

…Israel is the center of the action. The 144,000 are Jews, the “Women” of C.12 is Israel, the 21 judgments are similar to their escape from Egypt; the remnant is Jews who choose to stay in Israel when most go into the wilderness, Armageddon is in Israel and Christ returns to Israel where He will rule and reign from for 1,000 years. The A/C makes a treaty with Israel and Israel is God’s time clock. The A/C will rule from Israel.

Sharon’s Infamous Comment –
“We Control America”
From George Paxinos
geopax@bluewin.ch
12-1-3
During an argument between the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Peres said that Isralis’ policies of continued violence might “turn the US against us”.
To this Sharon retorted:
“EVERY TIME WE DO SOMETHING, YOU TELL ME AMERICANS WILL DO THIS AND WILL DO THAT. I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY CLEAR: DON’T WORRY ABOUT AMERICAN PRESSURE ON ISRAEL;
WE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, CONTROL AMERICA. AND THE AMERICANS KNOW IT.”
— Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
October 3, 2001
(IAP News)
It therefore follows that America is fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq under Zionist control. Mahathir is right. Jews rule America (and most of the world) by proxy. They trick us into fighting and dying for THEM.
Politicians of the ‘free world’ are too cowardly oppose Zionism.

Russia has far different objectives than the West’s. They have achieved theirs, and are are now in the process of denying Ukraine at every turn. Russian needs to keep their discipline and restraint, and not make sloppy errors. My opinion is that the West is trying to force a mistake from Russia to blow it up into the Gulf of Tonkin massacre, part 2.
