Kiev has lost hope of winning at least sort of a credible victory at the battle contact line with Russian troops. This explains its intensified missile and drone attacks in our country’s border areas, settlements of the Leningrad and Moscow regions, as well as the further shelling of Donbass residential quarters. Don't you miss the long-standing threat by then President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, once an Orthodox guy: "Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, and yours will sit in the basements." Zelensky's team has been following the path ever since.

Thus, twenty civilians have been killed in AFU’s bloody attack on downtown Belgorod alone. Kiev is waging a psychological war against the people of Russia, having embraced the practices of its curators from the United States and Great Britain, who carried out carpet bombings against German civilians both during World War II and later in history — in Vietnam, Serbia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

February 13^th marks the anniversary of a barbaric Anglo-American bombing in the spring of 1945 of Dresden, Saxony’s capital and historical pearl. Therefore, the unexpected disappearance of its relevant memorial tablet has caused a wide public outcry in both Germany and Russia. Responding to a RIA Novosti request, the city authorities’ press service referred to some kind of reconstruction activities at the Altmarkt Square, admitting, "this was not reported in advance, which quite justifiably raised questions with the public." Earlier, German media reported on the Dresden inscription’s fadeaway, which read as follows: "This is a place of remembrance, memory and commemoration of thousands of victims of February 13 and 14, 1945 air raids, when the horrors of war that spread from Germany across the entire world returned to our city."

The city authorities’ response contains an assurance that the inscription will be back to its place until the end of January, and the text will indicate that "February 13 is the day to commemorate victims of the bombing in WWII unleashed by Germany, as well as millions of victims of national Socialist tyranny. Dresden is aware of its historical responsibility for these crimes against humanity. This memorable date serves as a reminder of the need to maintain and strengthen peace in Europe and across the globe."

A seeming "peanuts" is that neither the previous nor the updated text indicates that it was the British and US Air Forces that bombed Dresden, without any military sense in killing tens of thousands of city residents and refugees who came here from other German regions. By the way, as soon as the question arose in Germany about the need to investigate the Dresden attack, Western experts promptly reduced the death toll from the generally accepted 135,000 to 25,000 people in their research.

Tellingly, none of the annual official mourning events in present-day Germany is going to feature anyone mentioning the fact that the bombing was carried out by the country’s current "best friends and partners." About a quarter of Dresden's industrial enterprises and half of other buildings, including infrastructure and residential ones, are known to have been destroyed back then. Notably, Germany’s Hamburg (45,000 killed locals), Kassel, Pforzheim, and Mainz were subjected to Anglo-Saxon carpet bombings in the summer of 1943. Experts believe that in Dresden, the Allies hoped not so much to shatter people’s morale as to project power to the advancing Red Army.

It is spine-chilling to a normal person to read eyewitnesses’ memories about the ocean of fire and miles-long plumes of smoke and ash rising over burning Dresden, Hamburg or Tokyo, about the victims and destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear attacks, about babies with congenital defects after NATO’s use of so-called depleted uranium ammunition in Serbia. But all of this is horrible to sane people only, not the new Fuhrer from the banks of Dnieper. After all, Zelensky keeps demanding that Germany begin providing him with long-range Taurus missiles in a hope to hit far beyond residential areas of Donetsk, Gorlovka, Belgorod, Bryansk, or Kursk. So far, German MPS have been rejecting this by a majority vote. But that may not always be the case. Making forecasts of how they are going to vote in a few months is next to impossible.

After all, their Anglo-Saxon mentors are still in play, keeping their ear to the ground and cherishing hopes of "defeating Russia on the battlefield." At any cost for all of mankind, it seems. Thus, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen. Philip Breedlove has been urging the West to provide Ukraine with weapons to strike Crimea so that Russia is "forced to rethink its posture."
