The U.S. and Israel both recently have news sites that require you to accept that they may be allowed to search your device if you want access to their news. I unfortunately clicked on that x-square at least twice, without really knowing what I was doing. In connection with that, I had a problem with my Swedish VPN-service OVPN, so the second time I clicked on the icon I didn’t have my VPN-service up and running. The VPN-service didn’t react quickly after the first time I clicked on the news site’s x-icon, if I may put it like that. If it worked at all. The second time, the VPN service wasn’t up and running as mentioned. The problem with my VPN was that I didn’t have an Internet-connection even though I could connect my VPN-service through the Internet, albeit this has happened before and may not necessarily be alarming. It has got to do with the Killswitch on my VPN-service.
Information is the number one power tool today. The U.S. in the years from George W. Bush and forward has slided down that rabbit hole of tapping information from other countries, foreign businesses, and private persons all over the world to an ever-increasing extent. U.S. citizens in the U.S. are excluded. Excluded from corporate and military espionage are the other Five-eyes countries Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The American institutions are dependent on espionage on their others, by the Americans so-called allies, now. They cannot go back to how it was. When it comes to Germany it has always been surveillance and espionage that was the name of the game. But that is not my concern. What concerns me is Swedish companies losing their ability to gain a patent, before some American company who was given an edge can wedge into the market, by an American hostile take-over through the Damocles-sword hanging over the Swedish company that now is lacking time. The Swedish company will probably become more resource fatigued in case it contests the American company the NSA chose to aid. This is becoming an ever more brazen behavior by the U.S., and I fear that private U.S. companies are buying into the concept lately. World Israel News (WIN) and MainStreamNews (MSN) certainly have taken advantage of the situation. But WIN is an Israeli on-line news site. This is why I believe that the U.S. has an IT-savvy partner in Israel when it comes to tapping of information. Especially since both MSN and WIN requested my consent, for them to be able to search through my device, which happened simultaneously to me.
So, it looks like I must buy a new computer soon, if I can afford it. And I will not follow the news on American and Israeli on-line news sites anymore. We’ll see if they like that better. It is not going to be popular if many people avoid their news sites in the future, because after all, information is the name of the game and giving people the preferred information is the primary goal. Europe is lagging way after in this game. Hey, I’ve got an idea! Why don’t we remedy this sorrowful fact? The French could be an important partner in this since Emanuel Macron was an invitee on a state visit to Sweden last week, discussing technical propositions like IT-related issues with the Swedes.
I need to buy myself a new computer since I wouldn’t want them to plant incriminating files on my current device, like child pornography or something. To make others look bad is the other primary goal besides making yourself look good when pedaling your preferred information.
And the sources for this were myself, MSN, and WIN

In World Israel News july 17, 2023, there is a headline: Quote; ”Israel recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.” End quote
The headline is noticable but hardly remarkable. Let me start by stating some facts.
Phosphates
Morocco and the by Morocco occupied Western Sahara is a major supplier of phosphates, which is used in the agricultural sector. Phosphates are used for crops and it is spread in pellets form across farmlands around the world to achieve significantly larger harvests. Estimates of phosphate production are sometimes difficult to understand because the phosphates are mined in different forms. The dominant form is ”Phosphate Rock”, a mineral that is usually mined in open pits. Two thirds of the world production are mined in China, the United States and Morocco/Western Sahara. Morocco and the by Morocco occupied Western Sahara account for 30 percent of the export market.
My guess is that Israel is a minor consumer of phosphates. But the US isn’t. Neither is Europe.
US phosphate reserves will last for 30 years for US use only. The United States does not export phosphate ore. Neither does China. The world’s phosphate reserves are estimated to be around 15 billion tons, which is sufficient for the world’s consumption for 90 years with current technology, according to the US Geological Survey. Phosphate production in the world will not come to a critical low level before the world’s oil reserves peter out. Thus, phosphate production in Morocco/Western Sahara is strategically secondary. This did not prevent the United States from making a bilateral trade deal with Morocco in 2006. The European Union didn’t jump on the train until two years later.
Don’t rock the boat!
I think that Israel is recognizing a potential strategic asset in the Morocco/Western Sahara phosphates. However, they are not doing God’s will. Western Sahara doesn’t deserve being occupied by the Moroccans. Except, in practice Israel’s move doesn’t make any difference from before. Both the EU, the US and Israel have for a very long time lived on the broken backs of the Western Saharans, and in the process we have carefully avoided to mention this little immoral and unrighteous Moroccan territorial claims, just to be able to buy the phosphates from Morocco and the by Morocco occupied territory of Western Sahara.
Before I go on, I want to emphasize the importance for Europe to have this policy of buying phosphates from Morocco and keeping quiet about the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara.
Fact: If we hadn’t done that, we would also not have been able to harbor any refugees in our countries. Food would have been to scarce. And if we wouldn’t have been able to harbor refugees, we would not have been able to sustain an economic growth simultaneous with a declining domestic birth rate. Our politicians have decided that we must have a steady economic growth, and the price for that is inevitably immigration. You can think of it what you want, but it is a fact. We get richer as a nation from immigration. There is a reason why the richest countries in history also have had the most diversified population, and the poorest countries in history have had the most homogenous population. Though, some are more equal than others, because the rich and powerful gets much richer and powerful than the rest of us. This in the end leads to the downfall of civilizations.
So, do you recognize how this is an opportunity for Israel? They get their hand into the bread basket for the price of nothing. But nothing has really changed, business as usual and all that. And to top it off, they can claim success for the Abraham Accords. It is a smart move.
A headline on SR; Ekot on Sunday July 16 reads (translated):
Quote; ”EU and Tunisia sign new migration treaty.” End quote
It may have to do with Algerian gas exports to Europe via Tunisia and Italy. Italy taps a lot of the gas. Algeria/Tunisia and Morocco aren’t very sweet friends, albeit some of the Algerian gas pipelines traverse Moroccan territory into Spain. It’s complicated! Algerian gas exports to Europe had fallen by 22% by 2019. Guess it is going up again. It should be the ones tapping gas from this pipeline who have to proportionally absorb the migration flood emanating from this treaty!
How to smooth things over
Morocco/Western Sahara has got almost no Shia – <0.1 percent. Terror groups are ISIS, and Islamic State of Iraq previously referred to as al-Qaeda in Iraq. All FACTS according to the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 2023-2024.
Israel Kasnett, TPS, excuse the state of Israel contrary to facts, on the online news site WIN, quote – and the following is one long quoute:
“Morocco shares a long border with Algeria, an ally of Iran, which directly threatens it militarily and through its support for Polisario separatism.”
In a significant step for Israel-Morocco relations, King Mohammed VI on Wednesday invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the kingdom.
The invitation came after Israel officially recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region earlier in the week.
The invitation came in the form of a warm, personal letter in which His Majesty thanked the State of Israel for its recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara. The visit will open up new possibilities for strengthening relations between the two countries, the king wrote.
Israel’s decision also holds immense significance due to its direct impact on the activities of Iran and its proxy Hezbollah in North Africa, disrupting their efforts to establish roots and expand their presence in the region.
Former Israeli National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat told the Tazpit Press Service that while he is aware that the steps towards recognizing Western Sahara took place over an extended period of time, “there is importance in Israel strengthening its position and presence on the African continent, especially at a time when Iran and its partners are trying to establish a foothold in Africa.”
Addressing why Israel waited until now to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty, he said he assumes that part of the time was required to examine the step’s possible consequences.
According to Ben-Shabbat, the recognition “is a proper and desirable step for several reasons. It reflects the deep trust between Israel and Morocco and Israel’s commitment to developing warm relations between the two countries and peoples.”
It “promotes a realistic and existing solution to this territory, which the United States has also recognized,” and “serves as a clear statement against the forces that oppose Morocco, supported by Iran and Algeria,” he said.
Ben-Shabbat said Israel can expect that ties between the two countries will improve even further now, adding that “despite the impressive progress in relations between Israel and Morocco since normalization, there is still great untapped potential in the economic, technological and political spheres.
“Additionally,” he said, “Morocco can play an important role in bringing other North African countries into the peace circle.”
Western Sahara shares a border with Mauritania, which Israel hopes will also normalize ties with it as part of the Abraham Accords.
The Algerian Angle
In an effort to maintain parity with its formidable regional counterpart, Algeria, Morocco is actively bolstering its defense investments. For numerous years, Rabat has perceived Algeria as a significant threat, particularly following the termination of diplomatic ties by Algiers in August 2011.
As part of this effort, Morocco has been preparing to acquire an undisclosed number of decommissioned Merkava tanks from Israel. The completion of this deal, anticipated within the coming months, will mark Morocco as the first foreign buyer of Merkava tanks.
According to a Foreign Policy article in June, “After [President Donald] Trump recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for Morocco normalizing its relationship with Israel, Tel Aviv and Rabat cemented the deal with a bevy of military and economic agreements. Algeria sees this new romance between Morocco, the United States, and Israel—three of its longtime enemies—as a threat to its security.”
In 2020, when Morocco reestablished diplomatic relations with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords, the Algerian government initiated a smear campaign against the kingdom, despite its reputation for tolerance and coexistence. However, at the same time, discreetly, Algeria engaged in undisclosed business dealings with Israel.
While Israel has no diplomatic relations with Algeria, Israel’s imports from the country stood at $21.38 million in 2022, according to the United Nations Comtrade database.
So while it refrains from officially recognizing Israel and publicly expresses animosity towards it, Algeria sells goods to Israel, facilitated by the ruling junta.
The Western Sahara is the primary source of contention between Morocco and Algeria. After Spain withdrew from the area in 1975, both Morocco and Mauritania claimed sovereignty over the territory. The Polisario Front, a movement representing the indigenous Sahrawi people, also declared the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) and sought independence.
Algeria supported the Polisario Front, providing it with military aid and training and diplomatic recognition. Morocco eventually gained control over most of the Western Sahara, while the Polisario Front maintained control over some parts, leading to a prolonged conflict.
The conflict between Morocco and Algeria has been fueled by ideological differences as well. Historically, Algeria aligned itself with socialist and anti-colonial movements, supporting self-determination struggles across Africa. Morocco, on the other hand, has maintained closer ties with Western powers and pursued a more pro-Western foreign policy.
The Iranian Threat
Dr. Yechiel Leiter, the director-general of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, also views Israel’s gesture to Morocco as positive.
“Morocco shares a long border with Algeria, an ally of Iran, which directly threatens it militarily and through its support for Polisario separatism. Were the Polisario to achieve its goal, Western Sahara would be an Algerian puppet state, contributing to strengthening an Iranian proxy,” Leiter told TPS.
He noted that the Iranian regime “supplies the Polisario with antiaircraft missiles and drones through the services of Algeria and Hezbollah. Together with the IRGC [Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], Hezbollah is also training Polisario fighters. The Polisario itself has provided cover for al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), a terrorist group that is active in the Sahel region.”
Morocco also plays a key role in global food production, a major component of which is fertilizer, which requires phosphates. As Leiter points out, “A full 72% of the known phosphate deposits are found in Morocco, and 7% are in Western Sahara. Allowing moderate Morocco to be surrounded by hostile and destabilizing Iranian proxies could potentially have great impact on food security worldwide.”
“The implications of such a concentration of a critical component of the world’s food supply are sobering,” he said. “Were 7% of the world’s known phosphate deposits (in Western Sahara) to fall into the hands of a sovereign entity under the direct influence of Iran, the ramifications could be ominous. But what is far more threatening would be the influence brought to bear on a moderate Morocco with its overwhelming control of the world’s food supply, surrounded by hostile and destabilizing Iranian proxies.”
According to Leiter, “Hezbollah is already deeply involved in West Africa, and the last thing the region needs is another dysfunctional state under the influence of the world’s most significant terror and illicit drug trade organization.”
“Morocco stands against the fanatical Islam exported by the ayatollahs and their proxies,” he said. Its battle against the Polisario and terrorism “is also Israel’s battle.”

Thank you and see you later alligator, at a while crocodile!
It has been a long time since I last described what is going on in the world. The reason for that isn’t that I am left in the dark, on the contrary, I am more illuminated than ever. But the reason for my inactivity is that I have nurtured a hope that my country, Sweden, won’t be rendered ”Black Pete”, of the western world. Unfortunately I don’t think Joe Biden gets it, gets anything really. Today I am going to describe what will happen, with the big politics that the great powers may pursue, if Biden and Blinken succeeds.
The Turkish president Erdogan is doing the US and Russian bid of not letting in Sweden into Nato. I personally don’t care if he does or not.
The US administration still is working for our destruction as a country, and in the somewhat longer perspective the destruction of the whole of the EU. I have professed this information already. But here is a simplified short version:
The US administration is about to try and enforce the EU to admit many more refugees than what the EU has taken in, in the last years following on the Covid-19 pandemic. Their motive is a little bit unclear, but one motive may be that Biden and the US don’t want to be left in the wake as the only refugee taking country. They may not want to get ruined as a nation on their own, while the old world continue on with their civilization. But it may be, and I think it is an important factor, that the US long since and with different partisan politicians in the white house since at least Barrack Obama, wants to start this pending war with Iran but ultimately against China, together with the UK and the other five eyes countries and Israel. This is all about oil and phosphate and other raw materials. The US is running out of oil on their own soil fast. Since oil in the world is going to peter out in a few decades, the US wants to use their whole tool box in order to dump the EU and China in its backwater, fending for themselves without oil the best they can. This is a simplified description. Want proof?
I cannot definitely prove my case, but I can give you strong circumstantial evidence for it. Follow my reasoning:
Phosphates are used for crops and it is spread in pellets form across farmlands around the world to achieve significantly larger harvests. Estimates of phosphate production are sometimes difficult to understand because the phosphates are mined in different forms. The dominant form is ”Phosphate Rock”, a mineral that is usually mined in open pits. Two thirds of the world production are mined in China, the United States and Morocco/Western Sahara. Morocco and the by Morocco occupied Western Sahara account for 30 percent of the export market.
Oil will for the whole world last for maybe 14 years with the current consumption, from the year 2023. US phosphate reserves will last for 30 years for US use only. The United States do not export phosphate ore. Neither does China. The world’s phosphate reserves are estimated to be around 15 billion tons, which is sufficient for the world’s consumption for 90 years with current technology, according to the US Geological Survey. Phosphate production in the world will not come to a critical low level before the world’s oil reserves peter out. Thus, phosphate production in Morocco/Western Sahara is strategically secondary. This did not prevent the United States from making a bilateral trade deal with Morocco in 2006. The European Union didn’t jump on the train until two years later.
Can you think of an alternative reason why George W. Bush and the United States made a bilateral trade deal with Morocco in 2006?
The world’s proven oil reserves of 1 trillion 726 billion barrels of oil in 2017 are thus sufficient for the whole world for maybe 14 years from 2023. However, there are uncertainties in these estimates. New oil fields are discovered on a regular basis, and since 1991, we have declared peak oil every year. But we have declared Peak Oil every year! Also the Ugandan oil deposits probably wreck my estimation a bit. But the southeast Asian countries’ economies are growing fast.
There are actually 161 different internationally traded crude oils on the stock market. It can seem insanely many since you as a consumer only have a few different options to choose from when you refuel your gasoline car. The crude oils all differ in terms of quality and price. Many grades of crude oil are suitable for production of diesel and fuel oil only. The Norwegian and British oil in the North Sea has been dubbed “Brent oil”. Brent oil is characterized by its high quality, and it is suitable for making gasoline from. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), also known as Texas Light Sweet, is also a type of high-quality crude oil suitable for making gasoline from, and it is used as a benchmark in oil pricing alongside Brent. Both crude oils are light (low density) and sweet (low in sulfur). Other important oil markers include Dubai Crude and OPEC Reference Basket.
What is Biden and Blinken’s short term plan for the Nordic countries then? If Biden gets his wish he will create further animosity by our neighbors towards us Swedes. Russia knows what Biden wants to accomplish. Biden’s first wish is to see Russia attacking and invading Sweden, while he is left to do whatever he wants in the Middle East. The Kremlin just don’t see a Russian war solely against Sweden as being prioritized right now. Biden and Blinken in turn know this. So Biden and Blinken are covertly trying to whip up natural animosities into a tsunami wave from our closest neighbors, Denmark, Norway and Finland, to such extreme levels that our closest neighbors declare war against us Swedes. I feel a little bit like Israel!
What will such a war bring about in the world?
Granted, Sweden is and always has been an anomaly among the Nordic countries. There are plenty of well-preserved moss corpses in Denmark, Germany and even Norway, but there are only two well-preserved moss corpses from Sweden, including Scania, and one of the moss corpses was’nt from the Viking era. This clearly implies a different mindset by us Swedes at the time. We Swedes, including us Scanians, still have a different mindset. The very same different mindset as the one we had a 1000 years ago. In a future podcast I might go more into depth why I think there isn’t much of a cultural difference between modern Swedes and near prehistoric Swedes during and following the former migration period.
A Nordic cannibalistic war brings about chaos in Europe. If this by Biden and Blinken sought after war ever takes place, then we Swedes will win. It might even be that Denmark and Norway calculate with our victory, but that they want to proceed with their invasion plans against the UK, and this is pretty much what they must do then. Follow my reasoning here:
Such a war will make it much, much easier for Biden and the US together with the UK to dump the EU and leave them in the wake of the US and UK civilizations. Whatever did you think that Brexit was all about?
But of course, there are other strong heads, also in Europe. A Nordic war against the Nordic country of Sweden, with the EU risking to collapse because of the previous and current US administrations’ sinister scheme to in the near future cut off Europe’s supply chain of oil, would forge an alliance between Germany and Denmark/Norway against the US collaborator the UK. This in turn would possibly mean that the UK will be kinetically attacked by those countries. And then we will have a new Viking era if the Nordic countries, with the exception of Sweden who will not participate in it, wins such a war of attrition against the UK. I have warned about this scenario for several years now. Why won’t they listen?!
But Biden must act fast fast, in order for him to get his limited war, due to that the US just about now has hit their debt ceiling and is at the very bottom of their domestic oil reserves.
EU regulations are to blame. We probably didn’t know that the EU would regulate the electricity markets in Europe in that way when we built our electricity grid. Nor did we know that Germany would phase out its nuclear and lignite coal power with such haste. When Germany has a surplus of electricity and we simultaneously have a deficit of electricity, German electricity companies have to export electricity to us, because it is those who can afford to use the electricity who gets to buy the electricity. Richest country wins.
It’s just that Germany almost never has a surplus of electricity when we have a deficit of electricity. However, the reverse often happens. And it’s just that Germany is a richer country with a higher GDP per capita. So we have to produce electricity for Germany and Denmark and be without electricity ourselves. It is completely unacceptable! And that is why we are now faced with a partially downed electric grid in Scania this winter. This is also why governments in Sweden and Germany are ready to outbid each other with compensation for their own citizens. You see, Germany wants our electricity at any cost even if it means that we become their electricity slaves. Germany is looking out for number 1, which is Germany and Germany alone. Yes, their backwards cousines the Austrians come as number 2. After that, no one comes down to the last turtle that the earth stands on all the way down to eternity. I wonder why they are prone to horrific acts of violence historically? We know nothing about the future even though Germany has a horrifying track record of extreme right wing violence and even in two cases what seems like paramilitary coup attempts, in recent modern time. The German people ARE more prone to extreme violence, you could see it in the Weimar republic from both the extreme right wing groups and extreme left wing groups. They weren’t any marginal groups either. The same things are happening in Germany today but without a Hitler. Large chunks of the German people seem to be pro-Nazi. The German people are pro-active and extremely counter productive, just like the US populus is too, to a high degree but without being quite so extreme as the German populus, and the United Statians are less organized. Enough about the Germans!
Although a piecemeal shutdown of the electricity grid in Skåne will not come about because we want to snub the Germans. Piecemeal shutdown will occur because if the production versus the consumption becomes lower or higher than the capacity of the electricity system, then the frequency in the electricity grid risks dropping below 50 Hertz to 49.9 Hertz or even less, alternatively rising to over 50.1 Hertz. The frequency in the electrical grid must always stay above 49.9 Hertz and below 50.1 Hertz, otherwise electrical equipment risks getting damaged. When you can no longer plan for this, parts of the electricity grid are shut down. 50 Hertz is 50 oscillations per second and constitutes alternating current or AC.
So, Ukraine, a state by Kreml and Putin called a pseudo state, is a part of Russia? If you had your family riding in a bus in the vicinity, would you violently, with certainty of collateral damage on your own family members, attack that family because they were riding in a bus together with a corrupt bus driver? Or because there was a known right wing Nazi connection of one of the forty other passengers riding in the bus, way in the back of the bus? Is that what you do with family members in Russia?
Putin is the new Hitler!
That’s it. There is nothing more to say.
Why did he do it?
Because he could? Yes, partly. But also, maybe, because his military, his transport aircraft fleet, his helicopters among other, needs spare parts from the Ukrainian military industry, former USSR military industry. And he needs the money, i.e. the women, that lives in Ukraine for the amusement of Russian men, since he cannot get to the women in the West. Whaaat? ”Did you just say what I thought you said?” Yes I did.
What can Ukraine do?
They can perhaps move their governmental institutions away from Kiev and to the south and let the Russian tanks roll deep into Ukraine, but not let the Russian support vehicles far into their country, by attacking the support vehicles in big scale ambushes with grenade rifles. But I don’t know what the environements look like in Northern Ukraine.
They can also, under controlled forms, demolish totally the industry that can be used for Russia’s nuclear capabilities.
Why did Putin not strike Ukrainian electricity first?
The infrastructure enables rapid operation in Ukraine. The road and railway network is well developed in the country. Russia and Ukraine have the same track gauge on the railway. As far as the road network is concerned, there are 103,150 miles of paved roads and 2,200 miles of unpaved roads. The railway network covers 13,400 miles, 6,400 miles is electrified railway. The railway network is mainly well developed in central and eastern Ukraine and somewhat less developed in western Ukraine. Roads and railways goes in all directions. Economic priorities within Ukraine are basicly its industry, which is mainly located in its eastern area.
What can Ukraine expect?
We need to first look at the near time history. In 2014, Russia launched a ”humanitarian” aid convoy to eastern Ukraine. Ukraine opposed this but eventually agreed to let the aid in if it was reloaded into other vehicles before the border crossing and escorted by the Red Cross. The inspection of the Russian trucks showed that many were almost empty except for a few sacks of flour. Russia chose to drive the convoy into Ukraine without the assistance of the Red Cross and in a completely different place than the one reluctantly approved by Ukraine. This is where the interesting really begins.
After the aid convoy crossed the border, it set course for the industrial city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, which Russia identified as in dire need. In for example Luhansk, the trucks were unloaded again without international supervision, but did not return immediately and definitely not empty. Instead, extraction of parts for Russia’s war-critical industry began. During the time the Russian convoy spent in eastern Ukraine, machinery, parts and products were loaded from e.g. a factory in Donetsk that manufactures radar and telecommunications warfare systems, a factory that manufactures parts for some of the Russian nuclear missile systems, and the factory that is the only one in the former Soviet Union, which manufactures turbine blades for aircraft engines and engines for helicopters, and other critical components for some combat aircraft engines.
Don’t know if there is something else the Russians still needs from Ukraine. They would most likely want to control the Ukrainian energy sector and their agricultural sector in order to sell energy and crops to the West and other countries in the world.
Is Russia backed by God?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all! They’re backed by Satan. It’s Satan’s country now. We wash our hands.
Russia is like a mad dog that has grabbed your child and chews on your child’s arm at a distance of ten yards from you. As soon as you make an attempt to move towards the mad dog to grab and pull your child to safety or attack the dog, the crazy dog stops chewing and stares you in your eyes, still with its jaws around your child’s arm, clearly threatening to instantly tear your child in pieces with his jaws if you continue to move forward. So you stop, and the mad dog starts chewing on your baby’s arm again, slowly chewing your baby to death observing all your movements. Your baby will either be eaten slowly or torn to death quickly, it’s up to you, even if the procedure is resumed.
Will Russia quit after Ukraine
No! As a matter of fact, the big Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea is probably next. And then the Baltic states. And then Finland. And then Northern Sweden through Finland. And then Scania, the South end of Sweden. And then parts of Norway and Denmark. And then Romania and Bulgaria perhaps. Something like that.
Where is Putin now?
Probably his palace in Gelendzjik near the Kertj strait between Ukrainian Crimea and Russia is thought to be like an ”Eagles Nest” by Putin and FSB and GRU in a situation like this.
The strategist cowboy
