The Times of India has a similar story.

With reasonably complete quotes of what he actually said? Natural News does publish some real stories, which they gather from sources that did the actual information gathering and reporting. I learned long ago that that context matters, and that single-sentence or -clause quotes often omit context that clarifies the meaning or even contradict the claimed meaning.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Russia Announces Bounty For First Downed F-16

OLGA GORDIIENKO  |  Jul 16, 2024  |  16:47


Previously, Russian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Vladimir Tarabrin, said that Russia views the fighter jets and the airfields from which they take off as legitimate military targets.

The Russian oil industry company “FORES” has announced a reward for the first person to shoot down a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet.

According to a statement released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, “FORES” will pay 15 million rubles (approximately $210,000) to the first military personnel who will shoot down a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet. The announcement comes during a ceremony where FORES also presented cash awards to Russian soldiers for destroying Western-supplied tanks in Ukraine.

“FORES” Director Ilya Potanin reportedly stated that this is the seventh such ceremony, with previous payouts of 500,000 rubles being awarded for each destroyed Leopard and Abrams tank. Potanin further revealed plans to extend the bounty program to include F-15 fighter jets, although the reward amount for subsequent downed F-16s and F-15s remains unspecified.

By now, multiple countries have already confirmed the transfer of F-16s to Ukraine.  .  .  .

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Geneva conventions require military personnel to wear identifiable uniforms. This violates that requirement, though the orcs are concealing themselves from civilians, not Ukrainian military personnel.

Given the distance from Ukraine, this may likely be an industrial accident (the facility is not renowned for safety) or sabotage (internally or by paramilitary group). Whatever the cause, Russian ammunition blowing up in Russia is better than where Putin wants it to explode.

Officials at the Russian atomic energy station say an emergency shut-down gutting power production capacity was perfectly safe and no radiation was released.

Didn't they say that when they were running Chernobyl, too? (Actually, IIRC, they didn't say much until radiation monitors in Northern Europe picked up the cloud.)

Power Restored at Russian Nuclear Plant After Widespread Outages

July 17, 2024


Power was restored across southern Russia early Wednesday after a malfunction at a major nuclear plant the day before led to sweeping outages and emergency restrictions across the region.

A power unit at the Rostov nuclear plant automatically shut down on Tuesday afternoon due to a “false alarm” in the turbine generator’s safety system, according to the state operator Rosenergoatom.

Rosenergoatom said the plant’s crew “established and promptly resolved the cause” of the malfunction later that evening. By Wednesday morning, the 4,071-megawatt nuclear plant was supplying 2,800 megawatts of electricity from three of its operating units, with a fourth unit undergoing planned maintenance that began in June.

Russia’s Energy Ministry said in a short statement that it “continues to monitor the energy supply situation in regions experiencing abnormally high temperatures.” . . .

I spoke with Donald Trump to congratulate him on the Republican nomination and condemn the shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. I wished him strength and absolute safety in the future.

I noted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation's freedom and independence.
 
Ukraine will always be grateful to the United States for its help in strengthening our ability to resist Russian terror. Russian attacks on our cities and villages continue every day.

We agreed with President Trump to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting.

Ukrainian Forces Shoot Down Russian Su-25 Fighter Jet in Donetsk Region

OLGA GORDIIENKO  |  Jul 19, 2024  |  15:27


On July 19, in the Pokrovsky direction of the Donetsk region, Ukrainian military forces successfully shot down a Russian Su-25 fighter jet attempting to attack Defense Forces positions. This achievement was accomplished by anti-aircraft soldiers from a separate mechanized brigade named after Colonel-General Mark Bezruchko.

“The downed Su-25 aircraft now burns in the steppes of the Ukrainian Donbas, marking another victory for the Ukrainian military. The precision, skill, and professionalism of the anti-aircraft fighters were pivotal in this operation, effectively reducing the Russian aviation fleet by one combat aircraft,” a statement came out from the operational-strategic group of forces Khortytsia.  .  .

Major drone strike on Russia's Millerovo airbase.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI5rtnVBVZg

The city of Millerovo is just ~10 miles from the border with Ukraine, is pretty close to the front in that area. That Russia bases or even stages aircraft that close puzzles me. It's pretty risky, generally. That Ukraine attacked it with drones instead of ATACMS illustrates the way Russia takes advantage of the US forbidding Ukraine to use that or similar US-supplied munitions inside Russia. One or two ATACMS probably would have done more damage than the swarm of drones Ukraine probably used.

Probably the best things put out of commission by the attack were the fuel tank farm and SAM systems. The latter being lost will make the base even higher risk, while the destruction of the fuel and tanks may make the base almost unusable for staging and emergency landings.

The Hidden Cost of Russia’s Convicts-Turned-Soldiers Returning Home

DANIEL KOSOY  |  Jul 19, 2024  |  20:54




Russian prisoners who were given the chance to fight in Ukraine for their freedom are returning to their communities, more violent, and causing panic across the country.

A tragic shooting took place on July 12th, 2024, in Ugolsky, a village in Russia’s Volgograd Region—home to only a handful of people. The village drew national attention when a convict, who recently had his sentence commuted after signing a contract with the Russian Army to fight in Ukraine, opened fire at a crowd of children with an assault rifle. One child was injured and is now hospitalized.

On this day, a group of children from the village decided to pull a prank on a neighbor, a former convict and veteran, and his brother, an active-duty soldier. The two men were throwing a party. The children managed to shut off the music inside the home of the brothers. According to the report, they then heard the sound of a gun reloading and promptly fled. Shots were fired, hitting a 12-year-old boy in the leg. The veteran, alongside his brother, was detained.

The shooter confessed the police handed over the case to the military prosecutor's office, and a village was terrorized by someone who should have remained in jail. But this wasn’t the only instance of such violence from a convict-turned-soldier in Russia.  .  .

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Easily solved! Pull all Russian tanks, trucks, and "Scooby doo vans" out of Ukraine and put the most obsolescent back in reserve storage. Invaders out, Ukraine stops taking out Russian oil production and storage facilities.
