Fear Porn, Threats, and Nuclear Brinkmanship Follow Decision of ICC to charge Benjamin Netanyahu with War Crimes
As reports began to surface that the International Criminal Court intended to charge Benjamin Netanyahu with War Crimes, Republican Senators went on high alert and showed who they really worked for.
As Benjamin Netanyahu said long ago, they control our Congress.
From Times of Israel, May 6, 2024: Republican senators warn ICC: Target Israel, and we will target you
“If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States,” the letter states. “You have been warned.”
The Times of Israel was referring to a letter written by Tom Cotton and signed by Mitch McConnell, Marsha Blackburn, Katy Boyd Britt, Ted Budd, Kevin Cramer, Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Pete Ricketts, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Tim Scott.
The ICC did not bow to the pressure from the Senators and filed a request to seek arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders on May 20, 2024.
International Criminal Court seeks Arrest Warrants for Hamas Leaders & Benjamin Netanyahu for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
The International Criminal Court must remain impartial and fair to both Palestine and Israel if it wishes to have the support of the International Community. The ICC expressed that themselves. Let us today be clear on one core issue: if we do not demonstrate our willingness to apply the law equally, if it is seen as being applied selectively, we will b…
After the ICC filed their intent to seek arrest warrants, International leaders began ratcheting up a Nuclear World War fear campaign, as reported by the anonymously published and financed “Lioness of Judah Ministry” in their “End Times Headline News.”

Ukraine is losing, and direct intervention by the West risks a nuclear conflict – so what now?
As it seeks to minimize its own risks, the US-led bloc is about to hit a dead end
In our last article, we analyzed Kiev’s military prospects in light of its new mobilization law. Here we consider the West's options in the proxy war it's using the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to fight. Western officials have been talking about sending troops to Ukraine since the beginning of the year. French President Emmanuel Macron said that he is ready to consider “any scenario,” including a ground operation. Government officials in Estonia and Lithuania (including Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte) were quick to support him. And the Leader of the House Democratic Caucus Hakeem Jeffries became the first US politician who didn’t exclude the possibility of sending troops.
Bipartisan Calls Grow For Ukraine To Hit Russian Territory With US Arms
Officials in the US are growing more vocal in making the case for allowing Ukraine to use Washington-supplied weaponry to attack Russian territory.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson came out with a full-throated statement expressing support for such a move which would certainly risk bringing NATO and Russian into more direct conflict. Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also said to be on board with a policy change.
Let Ukraine freely strike Russia with Western arms – NATO chief
Moscow has dismissed claims that Kiev’s war sponsors somehow restrict it from using donated weapons as “tricks”
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has argued that members of the Western military bloc should let Ukraine freely use their weapons to launch strikes deeper into Russian territory. “The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said on Friday in an interview with The Economist. “Especially now when a lot of the fighting is going on in Kharkov, close to the border, to deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves.”
US strike on Russian targets would be ‘start of world war’ – Medvedev
The former president’s warning comes after Poland said Washington would hit Russian targets if Moscow were to use nukes in Ukraine
Any US attack on Russian targets in Ukraine would automatically trigger a world war, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned. The official, who currently serves as Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council, made the remarks after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski claimed Washington had threatened to conduct such a strike should Russia use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
The Western Media Being Strangely Quiet About An Incident In Russia That Could Have Sparked A Nuclear Exchange
One of Russia’s most important early warning radar installations that was designed to track incoming nuclear missiles was destroyed on May 23rd, but the big corporate news outlets in the western world are hardly saying anything about it.
Without that installation, there is a giant hole in Russia’s ability to track incoming missiles from the direction of the Middle East. So this is a really big deal. During an all-out nuclear war, early warning radar installations would be among the very first targets, and the Russians are telling us that according to their nuclear protocols the destruction of the Armavir Radar Station could have allowed them to conduct a nuclear strike in return. Thankfully, that did not happen. But this should have been front page news all over the world.
Putin warns West about consequences of long-range strikes on Russia
Ukraine won’t be able to make such attacks without direct external assistance, the president has warned
Kiev’s Western backers need to understand that long-range strikes on Russian territory using weaponry they have supplied would represent a conflict escalation and lead to “serious consequences,” Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters at the end of a two-day visit to Uzbekistan, Putin addressed recent Ukrainian demands for NATO to permit the use of its weapons to attack deep inside Russia as well as comments by the US-led bloc’s head, Jens Stoltenberg, appearing to endorse the tactic.

EU state permits Kiev to strike inside Russia using its weapons
Poland’s deputy defense minister Cezary Tomczyk claims Ukraine has right to use Western arms to hit longer-range targets in Russia
Poland has no objections to Ukraine using Western weapons, including those provided by Warsaw, to strike targets deep within Russian territory, Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk has said. His comments come as Kiev’s Western backers have been debating whether or not their donated long-range weapons could be used to strike Russia.

Russia could scrap restrictions on missile deployment – Lavrov
Moscow’s top diplomat has accused Washington of “irresponsible” brinkmanship
Russia will strengthen its nuclear arsenal and drop its self-imposed restrictions on missiles if the US deploys launchers to Europe or Asia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Lavrov: Russia Sees NATO's Plans to Supply F-16s to Ukraine as Signal in Nuclear Sphere
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia considers the idea of a hypothetical convening of a peaceful international conference on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict with the participation of both Moscow and Kiev as a possible continuation of China's efforts to create conditions for resolving this crisis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Sputnik.

We share the position that, first of all, it is necessary to eliminate its root causes, ensure the legitimate interests of all parties," Lavrov said.
The West Depends on Putin’s Rationality to Avoid WWIII
Ukraine’s NATO benefactors are depending on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rationality so they can act irrationally. Throughout the special military operation, Western leaders have ignored Putin’s warnings against escalation and they continue to push Russia as the situation becomes more desperate for Ukraine on the battlefield.
While Ukrainian military officials insisted they needed permission to strike inside Russia to counter coming Russian attacks in the Kharkov region, it has since used Western weapons to attack targets irrelevant to the special military operation.
Biden Allows Ukraine to Use US-Supplied Weapons Near Kharkov
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Joe Biden has greenlighted Ukrainian strikes using US-supplied weapons inside the Russian territory for counter-fire purposes in the Kharkov region, but has not authorized the use of long-range missiles, including ATACMS, inside Russia, a State Department spokesperson told Sputnik in a statement.

Our policy with respect to prohibiting the use of ATACMS or long-range strikes inside of Russia has not changed,” the statement said on Thursday.
