The Biden admin has spent its time in office playing footsie with the terrorists in Tehran, pondering which concessions to make, while the inevitable happens.

Iran has accumulated enough enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb, according to new findings from the United Nations atomic agency.

That’s according to the IAEA, which couldn’t be trusted in the first place, so assume that the threshold had been previously met.

The International Atomic Energy Agency also said in a separate report that Iran has failed to provide credible explanations about nuclear material found at several sites in recent years, raising questions about the nature of its nuclear work.

Are there really any questions about why an oil-rich terrorist state had a nuclear program to begin with?

The U.N. nuclear watchdog said that Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent had grown to 43.3 kilograms (95 pounds), which represented an increase of nearly 10 kilograms (22 pounds) compared to three months ago.

Experts said that the stockpile would provide roughly enough material for an atomic bomb if Iran took the additional step of enriching the uranium to 90 percent purity. Moving from 60 to 90 percent would not pose a technical challenge for Iran, according to arms control experts.

“Iran has now accumulated enough enriched uranium to be able to quickly produce more than a significant quantity of HEU (highly enriched uranium) for one bomb,” said Daryl Kimball of the Arms Control Association think tank. “The time it would take them to do that can now be measured in days, not months or weeks.”

Assume that they’ve done it already. There’s no reason not to. The next step will be a formal test, but Iran may want to hold off on going public to see if it can extract any concessions in exchange for another fake deal.

Everyone in the region already knew this which was why the Abraham Accords type activity has only intensified.

Iran also had not informed the U.N. agency of the current location of the nuclear material that was found or of equipment that had been contaminated with uranium particles, the IAEA said.

Iran was given “numerous opportunities” to account for the undeclared nuclear material, the agency said.

And so the clock ticks forward. International measures have proven to be useless. A Republican administration coming in 2024 might impose tougher sanctions, but anything stronger would come up against the anti-war caucus which is firmly entrenched in the GOP’s activist wing now.  A fundamental difference might be that it would not obstruct Israeli or other local action the way that the Biden administration would. But we are closer than ever to Islamic terrorists having nuclear capability.

The era that comes next may make us feel nostalgic for when Muslim terrorists merely hijacked planes to ram into buildings.

Latest intel: Biden using Ukraine theater of war to DISPOSE of America’s munitions arsenal~FEAR the “thermobaric” bomb

(Natural News) During the recent military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden regime left behind $10+ billion in US military hardware, including aircraft, helicopters, armored vehicles, missiles, munitions, firearms, and more. This was, of course, a deliberate effort to arm America’s enemies while depleting America’s own military hardware stockpiles.

The Ukraine conflict is yet another scheme where Biden, under the control of communist China, is disposing of America’s munitions by feeding them into the “Russia grinder” where these weapons are destroyed on their way to the front lines in Ukraine.

The goal of this is not merely to help Ukraine win the war (which looks hopeless at this point) but rather to deplete America’s weapons stockpiles in an effort to weaken America before China’s long-planned invasion gets underway.

China is watching carefully and calculating the rapid draw-down of America’s anti-tank weapons, drones, armored vehicles, artillery units, artillery ammunition, and other key elements that would be necessary for America to defend itself against a Chinese invasion. The more of these weapons are sent to Ukraine, the weaker America’s homeland defenses become.

The Biden regime is run by Obama, who has been working to weaken and dismantle the USA

Understand that Biden is run by Obama, and Obama has been working with globalists to destroy the United States from the very start of his administration in January, 2009. Some of the attacks on America that have been waged with the help of Obama include culture wars, racial division, extreme censorship, economic warfare, dumbing down of public education, mass depopulation efforts with deadly vaccines, the purging of conservatives from the US military and the carrying out of mass domestic terrorism by the FBI, which ran the Gov. Whitmer “kidnapping” false flag operation.

Despite all the attacks, America has a very strong military, so every effort is being made to wipe out USA military hardware and personnel. The shipping of hardware to Ukraine is only one small part of that effort, however.

The larger effort appears to be a deliberate attempt to provoke Putin into retaliation against America’s military troops who are gathering in Poland in anticipation of a summertime counterattack against Russia. The most likely weapon that will be used in this escalation, according to our sources, is a Fuel Air Explosive weapon, also known as a “thermobaric” bomb.

A thermobaric bomb is devastating against personnel but unable to breach concrete bunkers or armored vehicles. However, it disintegrates the human body with horrifying efficiency, and it can cover a very wide area when deployed. Russia has possessed such weapons since the 1960s and has mastered their deployment.

Some people claim the following video records the deployment of a Russian thermobaric bomb in Ukraine, in early March. Although it appears to depict a mushroom cloud, there was no radiation from this blast, indicating it was not a nuclear weapon.

Biden is pushing Russia into escalating retaliation

Observing the fact that the Pentagon is now bragging to the NYT about taking part in the sinking of the Moskva (Russian flagship), it is apparent that Biden wants to goad Russia into an escalating retaliation against NATO and the USA.

Russia’s primary choices of weapons for that escalation are:

  • Hypersonic cruise missiles – impossible for NATO to stop, typically carry kinetic explosives
  • Thermobaric bombs (Fuel Air Explosives) – highly effective anti-personnel bombs which can destroy large numbers of people, but do not release radiation
  • EMP weapons – Plunges the target area into a 19th-century existence without power, but may risk causing nuclear power plants to lose control, leading to meltdowns
  • Nuclear weapons – Unleashes radioactivity and invites international condemnation and possible breaking of ties with India and Turkey

Thus, the most obvious retaliatory weapon of choice for Putin to attack US and NATO troops stationed in Poland is the use of a thermobaric bomb.

Obama / Biden no doubt invite this because it would destroy the ranks of the US military and leave America even more defenseless against an invasion from China.

Remember: Everything Biden does is calculated by Obama to erode the defensive power of the US military, either through attrition of active-duty soldiers or the disposal of US munitions. Biden’s handlers are treasonous actors who hope to bring down America and see it conquered by communists.

A single nuclear sub strike would “drown” Great Britain in a “radioactive tsunami,” warns Russia

Image: A single nuclear sub strike would “drown” Great Britain in a “radioactive tsunami,” warns Russia

BY ETHAN HUFF

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-03-nuclear-sub-strike-drown-britain-radioactive-tsunami.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) “Channel One,” a Russian state-run media outlet, ran a feature piece the other day outlining how easy it would supposedly be for Russia to “drown” the United Kingdom in a “radioactive tsunami.”

Aleksey Zhuravlyov, the chairman of Russia’s nationalist Rodina political party, explained during the segment that the Russian navy’s nuclear submarines could take out all of Great Britain with one single nuclear bomb.

“One Sarmat missile and the British Isles will be no more,” Zhuravlyov declared. (Related: Russia also says that the threat of nuclear war is very “serious, real.”)

Zhuravlyov’s statements were delivered following the UK military’s announced decision to support Ukraine in the ongoing conflict as opposed to Russia. Great Britain was among the first to proudly announce that it will deliver planeloads of weapons to Ukraine, including anti-tank systems and munitions.

After Zhuravlyov spoke, the “Channel One” segment transitioned to news anchor Dmitry Kiselyov, who described in further detail what a Russian submarine nuke launch would look like:

“It approaches its target at a depth of 1km at a speed of 200km / h. There’s no way of stopping this underwater drone. The warhead on it has a yield of up to 100 megatons. The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo by Britain’s coastline will cause a gigantic tsunami wave up to 500m high.”

A clip of the segment is viewable below:

Russian TV host says UK can easily be turned into “a radioactive desert”

During what is now being described as the most provocative moment of the segment, the host went on to reveal the extent to which Great Britain will be left in ruin following a nuclear missile attack.

“Such a barrage alone also carries extreme doses of radiation. Having passed over the British Isles, it will turn what might be left of them into a radioactive desert.”

The panel began with a reaction to recent comments made by the UK’s Armed Forces Minister, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who appeared to give his approval for Ukraine to strike Russian soil using UK-provided weapons if need be.

“Part of defending itself in this type of invasion is obviously where Ukraine will go after the supply lines of the Russian army because, without fuel and food and ammunition, the Russian army grinds to a halt and can no longer continue its invasion,” he told BBC TV.

“They currently don’t have British weapons that could do that, so it’s unlikely that it is our weapons. We’re very unlikely to supply that to anyone simply because of the technology and also the scarcity we have of those capabilities. So it is very unlikely.”

The Western media is still promoting an anti-Russia narrative as well, claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin has crossed a line by threatening to go nuclear if necessary.

“Without most people being aware of it, the world is entering its most dangerous period since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis,” writes Edward Luce for the Financial Times (FT).

“The majority under the age of 50 has grown up thinking the nuclear specter is a relic of the last century. In the past few weeks, the prospect of a nuclear exchange has become the most live threat to this century’s peace.”

Several commenters over at Zero Hedge speculated that Ukraine could launch the first strike against Moscow, plunging the world into a third world war – this time nuclear.

U.S. hypersonic missile tests continue to fail, making America increasingly vulnerable to sneak attack by Russia, China

BY J.D. HEYES

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-03-us-hypersonic-missile-tests-continue-to-fail-america-increasingly-vulnerable.html;

(Natural News) Most Americans would have assumed that their best and brightest military commanders and national security experts were aware, some years ago, when Russia and China began serious efforts to develop next-generation hypersonic ballistic missiles, and then react by implementing a development program of our own.

But apparently, our military geniuses were more concerned about wasting trillions of dollars to convert tribal civilizations in Afghanistan and Iraq into miniaturized versions of the United States because they completely blew off what Russia and China were doing.

Now, some years later, both of those countries have not simply successfully tested these wonder weapons, they have deployed them — and the U.S. is still struggling to catch up. In fact, testing of hypersonic weapons by the Pentagon is not going well at all, putting Washington further behind and keeping America more vulnerable than ever to a lightning-quick sneak attack.

“The first US hypersonic weapon will be delayed for as long as a year under a new schedule, even as lawmakers protest that the Pentagon is lagging behind in a new technology that Russia has already used in Ukraine and China has demonstrated in a space launch,” Bloomberg News reports.

“The goal to declare an ‘early operational capability’ for the Lockheed Martin missile by Sept. 30 has been moved back to sometime in the next fiscal year, according to an Air Force statement,” the report continued.

This, despite the fact that the U.S. spends nearly $800 billion a year on defense.

The Defense Department has also said that the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, will likely be the “nation’s first operational hypersonic weapon,” though again, at this point, there is no way of knowing when that will be — despite the fact that Russia has fielded an operational hypersonic weapon and has already used it in combat. And these weapons, by the way, are nuclear-capable.

Bloomberg continues:

Hypersonic weapons are hard to track and destroy because they fly five times the speed of sound and can be maneuvered. Last month, Russia debuted a hypersonic air-to-ground missile in its attack on Ukraine, and in July, China hit a demonstration target on Earth with a weapon in orbit.

Adversaries don’t have to meet the rigorous standards set under the US defense acquisition system or face public scrutiny over delays and failure.

But then again, they also aren’t wasting money fighting endless brush fire wars in faraway lands for decades at a time, though Russia has certainly bit off a massive financial sinkhole in attacking its western neighbor.

According to Bloomberg, propulsion appears to be the setback for the U.S. weapon, as the Lockheed missile experienced booster motor failures for three tests in a row, which put the project behind in terms of passing two additional motor tests and at least one missile that is fully assembled.

And now, “due to the recent flight test anomalies,” the Air Force says, the very first test of a complete missile has been moved to between Oct. 1 and Dec. 30 this year, with additional testing already planned for next year as well.

Continuing, the Air Force statement said that the service branch will declare an early operational capability “after successful demonstration of operational utility” via tests of the fully assembled missile following successful booster motor demonstrations — meaning, the U.S. will remain vulnerable until the Air Force and Lockheed can figure out how to make a missile that Russia and China have already deployed work.

When the weapon has demonstrated at least some capability, remaining test missiles could theoretically be used in an emergency because, for the time being, the Air Force has delayed a former production order.

The Army and the Navy are also working on a hypersonic missile design, but the Air Force was thought to be the furthest along. The latter two services are utilizing a shared two-stage booster rocket to launch the warhead into hypersonic flight, but it has yet to undergo testing.

With the delays, however, America remains vulnerable and that’s unacceptable.

USA / NATO gearing up for counterattack against Russian forces in July or August, with high risk of escalated retaliatory strikes by Russia using EMP or nuclear weapons

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-02-usa-nato-gearing-up-for-counterattack-against-russian-forces-in-july-or-august.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) Based on facts that have now been made public, it is clear that the USA and NATO are gearing up for a massive military counterattack against Russian forces in Ukraine. Based on the idea that it takes a few months to build up logistics, hardware and personnel, the likely timeline for this counterattack appears to be around the July / August time frame.

Keep in mind that the overarching context of all this is the plan to cancel the 2022 mid-terms by placing America into a world war before November, accompanied by a domestic police state / martial law response that now includes an actual Ministry of Truth run by Homeland Security (DHS).

Some of the information supporting the coming counterattack includes the recent revelation that military pilot cadets from Ukraine were secretly moved to the United States in March in order to undergo intensive F-16 fighter pilot training in preparation for deployment against Russia. We understand that Ukrainian military teams are undergoing similar training in artillery and tank command as well. Seasoned military observers would correctly point out that you can’t train an effective F-16 fighter pilot in just a few months (nor a tank commander, etc.), yet this only speaks to the desperation of USA / NATO / Ukrainian efforts to try to throw almost anything at the Russians in an effort to stop the seemingly unstoppable, grinding advancement of Russian forces across southern Ukraine.

May 2, 2022 map of Russian control in Ukraine via LiveUAmap.com:

In addition to the above, it’s also clear that USA / NATO forces are planning to cobble together a false flag operation in Ukraine — likely involving chemical weapons — in order to trigger the internal justification to deploy US troops directly against Russian forces in Ukraine. Congressman Adam Kinzinger has introduced a “Ukraine War Resolution” that specifies this exact escalation plan, in fact.

The timing of the chemical false flag will likely be sometime in June, allowing the US media to whip up outrage and anti-Russia hatred — as the media’s primary job these days is to teach hatred and intolerance to the gullible sheeple — to the point where the American people are screaming for World War III. Falling in line with the engineered outrage, US Senators and House members will call for a declaration of war against Russia, and that will be echoed by the criminal cabal running the fake White House Oval Office sound stage from which fake president Biden declares whatever current state of confusion he is expressing on that particular day.

By July or August, it seems, we will be in a full-blown World War III against Russia, with US troops and weapons deployed in Ukraine, facing off against the far better-equipped Russian forces which have very short supply lines back to Russia, compared to the extremely long supply lines from the USA to Western Ukraine (which involves crossing the Atlantic and all of Western Europe, then somehow navigating Ukraine’s blown up railroads and destroyed bridges while under heavy fire from Russian air power and missiles).

America will very likely attempt to strike infrastructure targets inside Russia

As the counterattack against Russia gets underway, it is very likely that US and NATO forces will unleash attempted missile strikes, drone strikes, or bombing runs targeting infrastructure installations in Russia. The primary objective will be to cut off Russia’s domestic supply of fuel, steel, ammunition, etc.

But this move would clearly cross the line in Russia’s mind, forcing Russia to realize that this western war is an existential threat against the very survival of Russia as a nation. This realization is only exacerbated by admissions from US high-level Pentagon officials that they are deliberately trying to weaken Russia and destroy Russia’s ability to ever wage war again.

Thus, Russia will quickly reach the conclusion that it will need to escalate its retaliatory strikes to something more than mere cruise missiles and artillery. Although we can’t read Putin’s mind, it seems likely that he has already realized that sooner or later, he needs to take out the USA’s supply chain in order to stop the flow of weapons (and military training) to Ukraine from the United States.

Interestingly, the USA is now threatening China with economic sanctions if China supplies weapons to Russia. So according to the USA, only Ukraine can be augmented with weapons, but never Russia.

Why Russia will likely prefer an EMP retaliatory strike against the USA and NATO nations

Russia has vastly superior ICBM systems such as the new SARMAT-2 missile with up to 15 MIRVs and hypersonic glide vehicle capability (HGV). This means Russia has the ability to launch a single ICBM that can achieve nuclear strikes on 15 U.S. cities all at once, with little to no risk of interdiction by US defensive forces.

However, an open-air nuclear strike in the northern hemisphere would contaminate the entire hemisphere with radioactive fallout. From Russia’s point of view, a “safer” option is to detonate a high-altitude EMP weapon that destroys the US power grid and plunges the United States into chaos and collapse. This sort of EMP strike would utterly disable America’s military supply chain while achieving something on the order of 90% civilian casualties within 1-2 years, according to previous government analysis reports.

Surely Russia knows that America’s power grid is not yet hardened against EMP and that America’s financial system, food stamps, communications, fuel deliveries, and nearly everything else depends on the power grid functioning. Thus, an EMP strike is the most efficient way for Russia to disable America and possibly collapse the nation during a time of war.

Once you realize this, you also realize that EMP weapons might also be used against NATO nations such as the United Kingdom. An EMP strike against London — or Paris, or Berlin — would plunge the entire nation into darkness and collapse.

Thus, we believe that EMP weapons will be the first strike weapon preferred by Russia in retaliation against NATO and US forces striking infrastructure targets inside Russia (should that occur).

We pray this never takes place, but it looks like Biden and his insane handlers are deliberately pushing the United States into this scenario.

Russia’s “secret weapon” to hold in reserve: Underwater nuclear drones that could unleash a radioactive tidal wave against the USA or UK

You might think that Russia would never use EMP weapons because they might fear nuclear retaliation from the US or UK. Yet Russia has another secret weapon being held in reserve that could be played as a key leverage point to prevent nuclear retaliation from western nations: The underwater submarine drones with 100+ megaton warheads.

These underwater drones, according to multiple reports, have already been positioned off the coasts of the USA (East Coast) and the UK, awaiting detonation commands via low-frequency satellite comms. These are publicly known to carry 100 Megaton warheads, but I’m told that Russia actually has 200 and even 300 Megaton warheads in these units.

Once detonated, these weapons unleash a tidal wave of radioactive ocean water, drenching coastal cities and making the region uninhabitable for at least three centuries. With one detonation, Russia could destroy Washington D.C., New York City (Wall Street), military ports in Virginia, and other major cities along the East Coast. In fact, a Russian TV station is now openly bragging about this capability. As ZH reports:

A recent Russian state TV program has stirred outrage and made headlines across the United Kingdom after a television presenter featured a simulated demonstration of how the Russian navy’s nuclear submarines would take out the UK with ease.

“It approaches its target at a depth of 1km at a speed of 200km/h. There’s no way of stopping this underwater drone. The warhead on it has a yield of up to 100 megatons.”

“The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo by Britain’s coastline will cause a gigantic tsunami wave up to 500m high.”

He then said the UK could be turned into “a radioactive desert” in the most provocative moment of the program:

“Such a barrage alone also carries extreme doses of radiation. Having passed over the British Isles, it will turn what might be left of them into a radioactive desert.”

The thing is, such boastful claims on Russian television are not mere hyperbole. Russia has the weapons to back up such claims, and those weapons are very likely already positioned off the coasts of the US and UK in preparation for precisely such a scenario.

Tit for tat – One possible timeline of how the escalation happens

(Early Feb, 2022) Ukraine prepares a massive military assault against the Donbas region to destroy the self-governance uprising of the pro-Russia regions of southeastern Ukraine.

(Feb 22, 2022) Russia recognizes the independence of those breakaway states and prepares to invade Ukraine to defend those regions against Ukrainian aggression.

(March, 2022) US and NATO begins training Ukrainian military personnel to operate NATO hardware such as F-16 fighter jets. Severe economic weapons of mass destruction unleashed against Russia.

(April, 2022) Russia realizes it’s all-in and begins push for gaining territory in southern Ukraine, pushing toward Odessa while grinding away the remaining personnel in the Ukrainian military.

(May, 2022) Massive military buildup of troops, tanks, artillery and logistics accelerates in eastern Poland, a staging area for the coming counter assault.

The following are estimates of future events, subject to corrections as reality unfolds…

(June, 2022) NATO and the USA pull off a chemical weapons false flag in Ukraine to blame Russia and justify escalation to World War III.

(July or August, 2022) NATO and the USA launch a counteroffensive against Russian forces in Ukraine, but they also unleash bombs and missile strikes against infrastructure targets in Russia (such as oil refineries).

(August or September, 2022) Russia retaliates against NATO strikes by launching EMP weapons against the USA and NATO nations, notably targeting the UK.

(September / October, 2022) Possibility that the USA and Western Europe is plunged into darkness. Total chaos. Military martial law. Elections cancelled. USA responds by threatening nuclear strikes against Russia. Russia counter-threatens with underwater nuclear bomb drones that could unleash a nuclear tidal wave.

(October / November, 2022) Anyone’s guess what happens here… if cooler heads don’t prevail, we could be in a global thermonuclear exchange with Russia before the end of 2022. Everybody loses. Because the USA and NATO nations are run by incompetent morons who seem to be part of a global death cult that actually desires a nuclear war.

The US military is no match against Russia

Relevant to all this is the sorry fact that the United States vastly overestimates its military capabilities, morale, and readiness. Under the control of libtard Pentagon generals and sissypants soyboy leadership, the very culture of the US military has shifted away from a manly, can-do attitude of rugged fighters to a transgenderfied landscape of gay helicopter crews and cross-dressing snowflakes who are but a shadow of what the US military was just a decade ago.

Now, we have fewer and fewer “soldiers” and more and more techno-toys (like suicide drones) run by gamers and overweight operators who could barely pass a physical. Once this technology is taken away from US forces — which can be easily accomplished with EMP weapons — the remaining military men and women have vastly reduced effectiveness because they are largely incapable of actually fighting (you know, with rifles and boots on the ground). Although we support our active-duty soldiers and veterans, the sad truth is that they can’t match the grit and physical capabilities of World War II-era soldiers (and US Marines) who could accomplish almost anything with a rifle and a spotting scope.

Russia’s soldiers are the real deal: Rugged, determined, and now well-experienced in battlefield maneuvers. They don’t need advanced technology to be an effective fighting force, which means Russia’s soldiers can still project power even without tech-heavy weapons. This means Russia has a devastating advantage of resiliency and ruggedness that’s simply no longer reflected in the libtard culture of the US Pentagon and its increasingly feminized fighting forces. Meanwhile, the most capable pro-America men in the military are being purged at breakneck speed, eliminating them from military ranks and thereby leaning the remaining forces in the direction of snowflakism and whiny little bitches who are “triggered” by the very sight of the American flag!

Remember: The Pentagon is run by generals who hate the American flag and everything America stands for. Do you think the forces they control are going to be ready to fight for America and win World War III? Not by a long shot. The libtards all hate America and want to see it fail.

Say what you want about Putin, but Putin doesn’t hate Russia. He’s not trying to dismantle the Russian culture. And he’s not a sissypants soyboy, either. Unlike Biden, Putin is a cognitive genius, and he is right now out-maneuvering the incompetent, almost mentally retarded US “President” and his entire regime of America-hating lunatics and sociopaths.

Russia Threatens to Nuke Britain, France, and Germany

Russia threatened a dramatic escalation of its war in Ukraine Thursday when Russia’s Channel One featured a video depicting Russian missiles reaching Berlin, Paris, and London.

According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.” This was not, however, Zhuravlyov’s eccentric view: “Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania, and the Baltic Sea.”

Zhuravlyov declared: “One Sarmat [missile] and that’s it – the British Isles are no more.” The show’s cohost, Evgeny Popov, responded: “No one will survive in this war when you propose the strike with a Sarmat. Do you understand that no one will survive? No one on the planet.” Zhuravlyov, however, was undeterred, saying optimistically that “we’ll start with a blank slate,” and boasting that Russian missiles “can’t be intercepted. Their abilities are limited. They say they can shoot it down, we’ll see about that.”

The show’s other host, Popov’s wife Olga Skabeyeva, then added: “Sarmats are not in Kaliningrad yet. From Kaliningrad to Berlin is 106 seconds, from Kaliningrad to Paris is 200 seconds. You’re interested in London, 202 seconds to London.” Zhuravlyov responded happily: “They need to be shown this picture. ‘Guys, look at this picture — count the seconds, can you make it? Hello, it’s already here.’ That’s the way. Let them think about it. Get a stopwatch, count [to] 220 seconds. That’s how you talk to them, they don’t understand anything else.”

This latest round of nuclear threats came after James Stephen Heappey, Britain’s Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Armed Forces, said that Ukraine should strike inside Russia: “It is completely legitimate for Ukraine to be targeting in Russia’s depth in order to disrupt the logistics that if they weren’t disrupted would directly contribute to death and carnage on Ukrainian soil.” He also voiced support for other countries supplying Ukraine with weaponry: “There are lots of countries around the world that operate kit that they have imported from other countries; when those bits of kit are used we tend not to blame the country that manufactured it, you blame the country that fired it.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wondered if NATO would consider the same actions on Russia’s part to be justified: “Do we understand correctly that for the sake of disrupting the logistics of military supplies, Russia can strike military targets on the territory of those NATO countries that supply arms to the Kyiv regime? After all, this directly leads to deaths and bloodshed on Ukrainian territory. As far as I understand, Britain is one of those countries.”

Russia’s Defense Ministry added a threat: “We would like to underline that London’s direct provocation of the Kyiv regime into such actions if such actions are carried out, will immediately lead to our proportional response. As we have warned, the Russian armed forces are in round-the-clock readiness to launch retaliatory strikes with high-precision long-range weapons at decision-making centers in Kyiv.” On Wednesday, Putin himself directly threatened retaliation against countries that are aiding Ukraine: “We have all the tools for this, that no one else can boast of having. We won’t boast about it: we’ll use them if needed.”

This echoed what he said when he launched the invasion on February 24: “Now a few important, very important words for those who may be tempted to intervene in the ongoing events. Whoever tries to hinder us, or threaten our country or our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to consequences that you have never faced in your history. We are ready for any turn of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard.”

He was not heard. France 24 reported on Sunday that “rather than hiding it,” the Pentagon “began openly talking this week about how it is training Ukrainian troops, including inside Germany, to use the weapons they are receiving. And instead of saying, as it did in February, that it wants only to help Ukraine survive, Washington now says its goal in the war is to debilitate Russia for the long term.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declared: “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”

Will this, then, become a nuclear war? We’re closer to that than we have been for nearly sixty years.

RUSSIA & UKRAINE: A War Between Two Villains?

Many good Americans have been led to believe that the two sides in the war in Ukraine are being led by a Russian tyrant on one hand and a Ukrainian freedom fighter on the other. Yet as Senior Editor Alex Newman demonstrates in his article “A War Between Two Villains?” in the May 16, 2022 issue of The New American, the reality is very different. In this episode of “Beyond the Cover,” Newman discusses the corruption of both Putin and Zelensky, while also pointing out that in both cases there is a huge chasm between the ruler and the people. He also explains why the United States should not send soldiers to Ukraine but should instead follow a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Biden’s Iran Nuke Deal is So Outrageously Bad

Even Democrats oppose it.

Republicans who go against their party are a common sight in Washington. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.), and the rest vote with Democrats so often, that it’s hard to see them as anything but controlled opposition. Democrats, however, generally march in lockstep; one of the reasons for the unhinged outrage against Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for opposing Biden’s socialist agenda was that Democrats simply don’t do that. They vote with the party at all times, like good comrades.

But now, a group of no fewer than eighteen Democrats in the House have come out publicly against Biden’s Iran nuclear deal. For that many Democrats to break ranks with the putative boss, the deal must be extraordinarily bad.

One of the group, Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), explained Wednesday, “We understand that while the recent negotiations have not concluded, we feel that we can’t stay quiet about the unacceptable and deeply troubling turn that these talks have reportedly taken.”

Unacceptable and deeply troubling is an understatement. Old Joe Biden’s handlers, in yet another of their endless series of decisions that could easily have catastrophic consequences for ordinary Americans, have actually turned over the leadership of the Iran nuke deal negotiations in Vienna to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov. And Ulyanov explained early in March that the deal will be of immense benefit to two countries: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China.

Ulyanov didn’t say anything about the United States of America benefiting from the deal, and apparently, Biden’s handlers are fine with that. Another member of the group of eighteen sane Democrats, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) asked, “Are we seriously going to let a war criminal, Vladimir Putin, be the guarantor of this deal?” Apparently, we are.

The deal gets worse from there. Right now, Biden’s handlers are considering dropping the terrorist designation from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC; the establishment media fastidiously and inaccurately calls the group the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, trying to obscure the Islamic wellspring of its activities). Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid issued a joint statement on March 18, declaring that the IRGC is “a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of people, including Americans. We refuse to believe that the United States would remove its designation as a terrorist organization.” Believe it.

Lapid and Bennett also noted that the IRGC “directs and instructs Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen and militias in Iraq, and that the body is responsible for attacks against American civilians and American forces throughout the Middle East, including in the past year.” They added, “They kill Jews because they are Jews, Christians because they are Christians, and Muslims because they refuse to surrender to them.” Biden’s handlers, on the other hand, seem ready enough to surrender to them.

Rep. Juan Vargas (D-Calif.) pointed out that Biden’s handlers have kept Congress in the “dark” about the details of the deal, and noted some disquieting parallels between the situation today and Obama’s disastrous 2015 Iran nuke deal. “It’s a little bit like last time. They keep us in the dark. Then … it turns out there are some fatal flaws,” Vargas said. “It was a bad deal then, and it’s a bad deal now.” Indeed. “We cannot afford another failed agreement,” Rep. Luria added.

It’s great to see that there are still some members of the Democrat Party who actually care about the United States of America and don’t want to see us enter into a ridiculously one-sided and possibly suicidal deal with a rogue state whose leaders regularly chant “Death to America.” Biden’s handlers, on the other hand, are so avid to vindicate Barack Obama against that upstart Trump who flushed the first Iran deal that it seems as if any deal will do, no matter how catastrophic its consequences could be.

Biden’s handlers should heed the warnings of these eighteen Democrats. But it’s much more likely that they’ll be ignored by the White House and excoriated by the media while the deal is signed, sealed, and delivered. It’s very clear that the Leftist oligarchs in charge do not like dissent. It will accordingly be quite interesting to watch the careers of Elaine Luria, Josh Gottheimer, and the rest.

In preparation for nuclear war, Romania issues potassium iodide pills to citizens

(Natural News) Eastern Europe appears to be gearing up for nuclear war as the Romanian government reportedly hands out potassium iodide pills to its citizens.

The Romanian Ministry of Health, in conjunction with other government leaders, announced a campaign to “inform the population on how to administer and store potassium iodide tablets” in anticipation of a nuclear conflict.

“The Ministry of Health and the National Health Insurance House will establish the legal procedure for the distribution of potassium iodide pills for the population aged 0 to 40 years,” reads an announcement from the Romanian government. (Related: Remember when the Japanese government admitted that it should have handed out potassium iodide pills to citizens following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster?)

The way potassium iodide works is it helps block radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland. In the event of a nuclear incident, potassium iodide could be a lifesaver, protecting the thyroid against radiation injury.

“The thyroid gland cannot tell the difference between non-radioactive and radioactive iodine,” reads an infographic from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “It will absorb both kinds.”

“When a person takes KI (another name for potassium iodide), the thyroid absorbs the non-radioactive iodine in the medicine. Because KI contains so much non-radioactive iodine, the thyroid becomes ‘full’ and cannot absorb any more iodine – either stable or radioactive – for the next 24 hours.”

European Commission urges all EU members to start stockpiling iodide tablets

According to reports, Romania will start distributing the tablets in the second half of April. The government has not indicated why it is doing this, nor is it explaining the urgency behind the campaign.

“At this time, there is no danger of making these pills necessary,” the Romanian health ministry announced.

It turns out that Romania shares a 381-mile border with Ukraine, so perhaps the country is preparing for an escalated conflict. Russian forces have reportedly captured multiple nuclear power stations in Ukraine as the country enters its 40th day of the conflict.

Last month, the European Commission announced that European Union (EU) member nations should also start stockpiling iodide tablets as a preparedness measure.

“The commission is working to ensure it enhances preparedness in the area of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear threats (CRBN) generally, and this predates the war in Ukraine,” a commission spokesman told FT.

Interestingly, Google searches for “potassium iodide” have spiked to levels not seen since the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

Is NATO preparing for an all-out nuclear war with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine? Many signs are pointing to yes.

“The one country that has been evil enough to actually use nuclear weapons (these bombs don’t discriminate) is the country that runs NATO,” wrote someone at Zero Hedge, referring of course to the United States.

“Is that the same national leadership that justifies Black Lives Matter, 20% inflation, an open southern border, and Hunter Biden?” responded another.

Someone else pointed out that iodide only protects the body against radioactive isotopes of iodine, and none of the other radioactive chemicals. So what good is this initiative in practical terms?

“The critical task is to keep any radioactive dust from falling on you in the first place and putting as much mass between you and radioactive particles before and after the fallout,” suggested another in response.

“They are preparing the lot for seeding another false flag,” said another, offering a more conspiratorial perspective. “This time it will be radioactive.”

Still, another warned that potassium iodide will not provide protection against Sr-90 or Cs-137, both of which have a longer half-life than I-131.

“And the former gets in your bones as a calcium analog while the latter is a potassium/sodium analog.”

Tucker: With Nuclear Threat Nigh, Unstable Biden Should Be Removed via the 25th Amendment

Tucker: With Nuclear Threat Nigh, Unstable Biden Should Be Removed via the 25th Amendment

BY SELWYN DUKE

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” This comment, reportedly made by Barack Obama, could now come to mind. Less than a year and a half into Joe Biden’s presidency, after all, conflict and civilization-ending nuclear war with Russia have become a chilling possibility. Despite this, Biden has done nothing but exacerbate tensions with his words. Over just the course of three days recently, in fact, the president went off-script and indicated that 1) the U.S. might use chemical weapons (i.e., against Russia) if Moscow employs them; 2) American troops were heading for Ukraine, and 3) the administration seeks to oust Vladimir Putin from power.

All three comments were later repudiated by the administration — while Biden essentially claimed they were never made — but some damage had been done. Add to this that Biden also has called Putin a “pure thug,” a “murderous dictator,” and a “war criminal,” and a question arises:

Is this the best way to deal with a volatile situation and a man with 6,000 nuclear weapons at his fingertips?

Tucker Carlson has his answer. Warning that Biden can no longer regulate his emotions and thus poses an existential danger to our country, the Fox News host said Monday that if there was “ever a time to invoke the 25th Amendment, it is now.” This amendment, of course, allows for the removal of a president unfit to discharge his duties.

Carlson introduced the topic by pointing out that Biden had always been known as a charming, engaging, personable character. (It should be mentioned, however, that even when younger he would often react aggressively when challenged by the less powerful.) Yet in recent times, “the most authentic feature of Joe Biden’s public performances has been his anger,” stated the commentator. “It seems to come over him in waves.”

After showing video-clip examples of such, Carlson said it’s clear why this is happening: Displays of anger and a decreasing ability to regulate emotion often accompany senility — and Biden has long exhibited signs of dementia.

This oft-seen phenomenon of aging is ever and always sad and tragic, noted Carlson, yet in this case, it takes on yet another dimension. As he explained:

Biden is the president of the United States, and this is the single most volatile moment in the recent history of our country. Biden is leading the U.S. toward war and so it’s fair to assess the effect on the rest of us of his mental and emotional conditions, not simply about age; Biden is 79. Biden is clearly unable to speak with precision and when you’re president of the United States and the world hangs on your every word, when your words constitute American policy, when you can change American policy, particularly America’s foreign policy, simply by saying so, it is essential that you speak the words you intend to speak, that you not get carried away because you’re mad and say something you don’t mean that might threaten the long-term interests of this country, threaten the families and the children of the rest of us and our future, but he is.

Carlson later played clips of Biden’s off-script, off-kilter remarks. First, when asked last Thursday if Russia’s using chemical weapons in Ukraine would trigger a NATO military response, Biden stated, “It would trigger a response in kind; whether or not you’re asking whether NATO would cross, we’d make that decision at the time.”

Of course, “in-kind” means in the same or a similar way; Biden may not now know this (if he ever did), given his diminished state. But the statement was later walked back by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, whose remarks reflected the U.S. policy of never deploying chemical weapons.

Biden’s next bumble occurred when, after flying to Poland Friday, he addressed American troops and indicated they’d be entering Ukraine. “[Y]ou’re going to see when you’re there,” he said, “and some of you have been there, you’re going to see, you’re going to see women, young people stand in the middle in front of a damned tank saying, ‘I’m not leaving. I’m holding my ground.’”

This, too, was walked back, with the White House later saying, “The president has been clear we are not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine, and there is no change in that position.” Of course, the point is that Biden’s above remarks make this anything but clear.

But then Biden muddied the waters yet again on Saturday. While inveighing against Putin, the president stated, “Brutality will never grind down the road to be free. For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”

This prompted, you guessed it, another walk-back. “The President’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region,” a White House official told Fox News shortly after Biden’s remarks. “He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change.”

The kicker is that Biden later called the relation of his words’ literal meaning a misinterpretation (video below).

Regime Change in Russia? How About Regime Change in America?

Yet Biden’s later claims about his words’ intended meaning are so greatly divorced from their literal meaning that senility is the only charitable explanation (unless one believes he’s purposely trying to spark WWIII). It’s a perfect example of that Biden ability Obama warned about: to royally foul things up.

And thus did Carlson say that “too much is at stake.” “If there was ever a time … in U.S. history … to invoke the 25th Amendment, it is now,” he continued. “As Joe Biden himself put it, ‘For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power’ — for all of our sakes” (video below).

But the problem, many will point out, is that dispatching Biden leaves us with Kamala Harris who, though not senile, may as well be. Were she eliminated, we’d be stuck with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who’s older than Biden and has also exhibited signs of neurological dysfunction.

It’s another example of how elections — stolen ones perhaps especially — have consequences. It’s ironic, too, that Trump Derangement Syndrome and warnings of the last president’s alleged mental unfitness have helped visit upon us a truly mentally unfit president.

Yet onus also belongs on those controlling Biden, as the latter is no doubt very much a puppet. Sending this senile man overseas to manage the Ukraine crisis is like throwing gasoline on a fire and indicts his handlers’ judgment. As French president Emmanuel Macron warned Sunday, now is the time for diplomacy and de-escalation — not playing Dr. Strangelove with a 6,000-nuke-strong nation.

Why People Are Rushing for Iodine Amid Nuclear Concerns

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Fear of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine causing a nuclear incident has resulted in Europeans stockpiling iodine. In the case of a serious nuclear accident, radioactive iodine can be released into the air, increasing your risk of thyroid cancer and acute radiation sickness when inhaled
  • Non-radioactive iodine supplements help to prevent the radioactive iodine from concentrating in your thyroid gland, thereby reducing the risk of thyroid cancer
  • The conventional recommendation to ward off some of the health dangers of radiation exposure is to take supplemental potassium iodide. In addition to potassium iodide tablets, you could use Lugol’s solution, which includes both potassium iodide and iodine in water
  • The recommended daily dosage of potassium iodide for an adult in the case of acute nuclear radiation exposure from a nuclear reactor accident or a nuclear weapon detonation is 130 milligrams (mg), which is relatively high and far in excess of the normal daily requirement of 1 mg or less per day
  • For optimal protection, the iodine would ideally be taken one hour before the radiation exposure, and no later than 12 hours post-exposure
  • Other supplements that can help reduce damage associated with radiation exposure are vitamin D3, spirulina, and molecular hydrogen

Fear about potential nuclear fallout has resulted in Europeans stocking up on iodine. As reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP), March 8, 2022:1

“European countries have seen stocks of iodine fly off the shelves due to fears it may be needed to counter the risks of thyroid cancer if Russia's invasion of Ukraine causes a nuclear incident. France said it would send 2.5 million doses of the chemical compound to Ukraine after Russian forces there seized the defunct Chernobyl nuclear site and damaged Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest atomic plant.”

Your thyroid gland needs iodine to make hormones that influence your metabolism and other vital functions. Since your body does not produce iodine, you must get it through your diet on a daily basis. When your body lacks sufficient iodine, it cannot make enough thyroid hormone.

If your deficiency is severe, your thyroid may become enlarged, a condition also known as a goiter. Iodine deficiency can also cause hypothyroidism (low thyroid function). On the other hand, excessive levels can result in hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid function), elevated blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythm.

In some cases, lack of sufficient iodine can trigger intellectual disabilities and developmental problems in infants and children whose mothers were iodine-deficient during pregnancy.

Iodine deficiency has also been linked to poor information processing, diminished fine motor skills, visual problems,2 fatigue, depression, weight gain, low basal body temperatures, and more.3 It’s also been known for some time that iodine can kill viruses, including influenza viruses.4

General Health Recommendations

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for iodine ranges from 110 micrograms (mcg) for babies from birth to 6 months of age and up to 150 mcg for men and women over 19 years. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding have an RDA of 220 mcg and 290 mcg, respectively.5

I always recommend that you get as many nutrients as possible from your food, and iodine is no exception. Foods that are naturally iodine-rich include spirulina,6 sea vegetables, prunes, raw dairy products, eggs, and Himalayan pink sea salt.7,8 Eating these foods on a regular basis will help ensure adequate levels year-round.

In the case of nuclear fallout prophylaxis, however, you may need higher doses than these foods can immediately provide — especially if you have not been getting sufficient amounts on a daily basis.

Recommendations in Cases of Acute Radiation Exposure

The conventional recommendation to ward off some of the health dangers of radiation exposure is to take supplemental potassium iodide. In addition to potassium iodide tablets, you could use Lugol’s solution, which includes both potassium iodide and iodine in water.

The recommended daily dosage of potassium iodide for an adult in the case of acute nuclear radiation exposure from a nuclear reactor accident or a nuclear weapon detonation is 130 milligrams (mg).9 For optimal protection, the iodine would ideally be taken one hour before the radiation exposure, and no later than 12 hours post-exposure.

Why Use Iodine in Case of a Nuclear Accident?

In the case of a serious nuclear accident, radioactive iodine can be released into the air, increasing your risk of thyroid cancer and acute radiation sickness when inhaled.10

Non-radioactive iodine helps prevent the radioactive iodine from concentrating in your thyroid gland, thereby reducing the risk of thyroid cancer. As your thyroid gets saturated with non-radioactive iodine, the radioactive iodine gets flushed out of your body through your urine. As explained by thyroid.org:

“The thyroid gland cannot distinguish between stable (regular) iodine and radioactive iodine and will absorb whatever it can ... Babies and young children are at highest risk. The risk is much lower for people over 40. Thyroid cancer seems to be the only cancer whose incidence rises after a radioactive iodine release. Potassium iodide protects only the thyroid, but it is the organ at greatest risk from radioactive iodine.”

Nuclear radiation can be measured in millisieverts, millirem, and rem. Rem is an older unit measure still frequently used in the U.S. For reference, 100 millisieverts are the equivalent of 10,000 millirem, or 10 rem. Acute radiation sickness begins at exposures at or above 100 rem (1,000 millisieverts or 100,000 millirem).11 Spikes recorded at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011 measured up to 40,000 millirem, or 40 rem.

The American Thyroid Association recommends that anyone living within 50 miles of a nuclear plant have potassium iodide in their household at all times in the event of a radiation emergency.12

However, you should only take potassium iodide if you are near active radiation fallout. This is NOT a strategy that should be used as a long-term preventive because it only protects your thyroid for one to three days, no longer, and taking it when not absolutely necessary could result in thyrotoxicosis.

Iodine Does Not Protect Against Other Radioactive Elements

It’s also important to realize that iodine does not offer all-around protection in the case of nuclear fallout. As mentioned, it only protects against radioactive iodine, and it primarily protects your thyroid. It does not protect against any other radioactive elements.

Authorities typically recommend sheltering inside a hard building in the case of nuclear fallout. But there may also be some other things you can take to help your body protect itself against radiation. Three supplements that come to mind are vitamin D3, magnesium, and molecular hydrogen.

Vitamin D Can Help Reduce Radioactive Damage

Vitamin D's protective action is carried by a wide variety of mechanisms, including cell cycle regulation and proliferation, cellular differentiation and communication, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Scientists have identified a total of nearly 3,000 genes that are upregulated by vitamin D, so it makes sense that it would have multifaceted protective actions against cellular damage.

A paper on the subject argued that vitamin D should be considered among the prime nonpharmacological agents that offer protection against low radiation damage and radiation-induced cancer — and perhaps even the primary agent. According to the paper, published in the International Journal of Low Radiation:13

“In view of the evidence that has been presented here, it would appear that vitamin D by its preventive/ameliorating actions should be given serious consideration as a protective agent against sublethal radiation injury, and in particular that induced by low radiation.”

Ideally, the BEST way to get vitamin D is from sun exposure on your bare skin. This typically requires going out every day in the sun around noon to get enough UVB to generate vitamin D. We are entering the time of year when most people in the U.S. can do this for the next six months.

Sun exposure will also increase melatonin in your mitochondria, which is yet another fantastic method to reduce excess oxidative stress that can be exacerbated by exposure to ionizing radiation.

Rather than focusing on a specific dosage, your best bet is to measure your vitamin D level (which is done through a simple blood test) and then take whatever dosage required to raise or maintain an optimal level, which is thought to be between 40 ng/mL and 60 ng/mL. In one investigation, compared to having a blood level below 20 ng/mL, having a level of 60 ng/mL or higher resulted in an 82% reduction in breast cancer.14

Getting tested, ideally twice a year, is really the only way to determine if you have a protective level and are taking the correct dosage. If you are not getting sun exposure, most adults need about 8,000 IUs of vitamin D per day. Please remember though that this is a vastly inferior way to get vitamin D and in no way shape or form will increase your mitochondrial melatonin levels.

How Magnesium Can Help Protect Against Radiation

One of the interesting facts I learned when I wrote my 2020 book, “EMF’D” was that nonionizing radiation from cell phones causes cellular harm nearly identical to that of ionizing radiation, as you can see by the image below.

ionization

Research15,16,17,18 shows low-frequency microwave radiation activates voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) — channels in the outer membrane of your cells. Once activated, the VGCCs open, allowing an abnormal influx of calcium ions into the cell, which activates nitric oxide (NO).

NO is the only molecule in your body produced at high enough concentrations to outcompete other molecules for superoxide, which combines to form a very dangerous free radical called peroxynitrite. Many believe peroxynitrite is as bad or even worse than hydroxy free radicals as they last so much longer. Peroxynitrate increases systemic inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction,19 and damages your DNA.20

One of the strategies that we recommend to limit this damage is to make sure you have enough magnesium. Why? Well, first of all, more than 80% of people are deficient and magnesium is part of over 3,100 proteins and enzymes in your body. But in the case of radiation, it will likely serve as a calcium channel inhibitor and limit the amount of calcium coming inside the cell, which will limit free radicals.

There is virtually no downside to supplementing with magnesium as even if it doesn’t help mitigate oxidative stress from ionizing radiation exposure, which I believe is unlikely, it will benefit you in thousands of other ways. It is one of the few supplements that virtually everyone needs to be on.

Molecular Hydrogen and Radiation Protection

Last but not least, molecular hydrogen may also be helpful in cases of low-level radiation exposure. As explained in the 2012 paper, “Molecular Hydrogen and Radiation Protection”:21

“Molecular hydrogen (dihydrogen, H(2)) acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing hydroxyl radicals (OH) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-). It has been well-known that ionizing radiation (IR) causes oxidative damage and consequent apoptosis mainly due to the production of OH that follows radiolysis of H(2)O.

Our department reported the protective effect of H(2) in irradiated cells and mice for the first time, and this effect is well repeated by us and another laboratory in different experimental animal models.

A randomized, placebo-controlled investigation also showed consumption of H(2) can improve the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumors. These encouraging results suggested that H(2) has a potential as a radioprotective agent with efficacy and non-toxicity.”

A simple way to protect against this damage is to upregulate your Nrf2 pathway, which can be accomplished by drinking molecular hydrogen water and making sure you’re getting enough magnesium.

Incidentally, molecular hydrogen tablets are actually an excellent source of ionic elemental magnesium. Each tablet provides about 80 milligrams of ionic elemental magnesium, so molecular hydrogen serves double duty.

In a study22 from 2010, the researchers suggested hydrogen therapy “may be an effective and specific novel treatment for acute radiation syndrome.” The key mechanism by which molecular hydrogen protects against radiation is by reducing hydroxyl radicals, which are responsible for more than half of the cellular damage associated with ionizing radiation.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to take molecular hydrogen is to use molecular hydrogen tablets, which you simply dissolve in water for about 60 to 90 seconds, and then drink while the bubbles are still visible. Molecular hydrogen is one of my go-to, must-have daily supplements.

How to Optimize Your Iodine Absorption

While women have a greater incidence of iodine deficiency related to their hormone production, the bodies of both men and women are subject to the poor absorption of iodine and suboptimal use due to environmental contamination that end up in the food supply.

Common contaminants that compete with iodine include the following. By avoiding or eliminating these from your diet, you can help optimize iodine uptake from the iodine-rich foods you eat, some of which were listed earlier.

  • Bromide — Bromides are known endocrine disruptors found in baked goods, pesticides, and plastics, among other sources. Because bromide is a halide, it competes for the same receptors used in your thyroid gland and other body areas to capture iodine, thereby inhibiting thyroid hormone production and resulting in a deficiency.
  • Fluoride — Fluoride has long been known to displace iodine. As cited by the Fluoride Action Network,23 Chinese researchers “have repeatedly found that an iodine deficiency coupled with fluoride exposure produces a significantly more damaging effect on neurological development than iodine deficiency alone.”
  • Nitrates — While there are healthy nitrates, the ones found in processed meats such as bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat, and sausage may interfere with your uptake of iodine, so be sure to avoid them. Nitrates from agricultural fertilizer, present in contaminated drinking water, have also been implicated as a potential cause of thyroid cancer.24
  • Perchlorate — A contaminant found in groundwater across the U.S. and in measurable amounts in milk, fruit, and vegetables. In high doses, perchlorate may inhibit the function of your thyroid gland. Even in low doses, it inhibits the uptake of iodine by your thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism.25,26

Bennett is right. Biden’s handlers’ monomania about getting a deal with Iran is striking. Do they want to see Iran nuke Israel? Given the makeup of Biden’s administration, which is loaded with haters of Israel, the question is not entirely far-fetched.

“PM Bennett’s Remarks at the Start of the Weekly Cabinet Meeting,” Prime Minister’s Office, March 20, 2022:

Following are Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s remarks at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting today:

…On another issue, we are very concerned about the United States’ intention to give in to Iran’s outrageous demand and remove the IRGC from the list of terrorist organizations, the FTO.

The IRGC are the largest and most murderous terrorist organization in the world. Unlike ISIS, or other organizations, it is backed by a state.

This is not just an Israeli problem. Other countries – allies of the United States in the region – face this organization day in and day out.

In recent years, they have fired missiles at peaceful countries and launched UAVs at Israel and other countries.

Even now, the IRGC terrorist organization is trying to murder certain Israelis and Americans around the world.

Unfortunately, there is still determination to sign the nuclear deal with Iran at almost any cost – including saying that the world’s largest terrorist organization is not a terrorist organization.

This is too high a price.

Even if this unfortunate decision is made, the State of Israel will continue to treat the IRGC as a terrorist organization, and will continue to act against it as we do against terrorist organizations. As usual, our future will be determined by our actions, not words.”

Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. How is this not treason? But Biden’s handlers have nothing to worry about. The only people in positions to prosecute them are on their side.

“New Iran Agreement Would Let Russia Cash in on $10 Billion Contract To Build Nuclear Sites,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, March 16, 2022:

Russia’s top state-controlled energy company is set to cash in on a $10 billion contract to build out one of Iran’s most contested nuclear sites as part of concessions granted in the soon-to-be-announced nuclear agreement that will guarantee sanctions on both countries are lifted.

Russian and Iranian documents translated for the Washington Free Beacon show that Rosatom, Russia’s leading energy company, has a $10 billion contract with Iran’s atomic energy organization to expand Tehran’s Bushehr nuclear plant. Russia and the Biden administration confirmed on Tuesday that the new nuclear agreement includes carveouts that will waive sanctions on both countries so that Russia can make good on this contract.

“We, of course, would not sanction Russian participation in nuclear projects that are part of resuming full implementation of the JCPOA,” State Department spokesman Ned Price confirmed on Tuesday, referring to the original 2015 nuclear accord. Russia’s foreign ministry made a similar statement on Tuesday, saying that “additions were made to the text of the future agreement on JCPOA restoration to ensure that all the JCPOA-related projects, [especially] with Russian participation, as well as Bushehr [nuclear power plant], are protected from negative impact of anti-Russian restrictions” by the United States and European Union….

Russia looking to ban all exports of wheat, barley, rye, other crops until second half of 2022, worsening global food scarcity

(Natural News) However bad the food shortage was expected to be due to Russia’s invasion of its Ukrainian neighbor, they are going to get worse following a decision made by the Kremlin earlier this week.

According to reports, the government of President Vladimir Putin has decided to halt all exports of most agricultural commodities including wheat, rye, barley and corn at least until June 30 in what appears to be Moscow’s pushback on the sanctions imposed on his country by the West.

Interfax, Russia’s newswire agency, reported that the country’s Agriculture Ministry announced the ban, which began March 15 – just as some observers, including One River CIO Eric Peters – are likening the coming global food shortages to the original Holodomor (which, by the way, occurred in Ukraine under Stalin). The Holodomor was a man-made famine instituted by that authoritarian butcher “from 1932 to 1933, peaking in the late spring of 1933,” Britannica.com noted.

The site added: It was part of a broader Soviet famine (1931–34) that also caused mass starvation in the grain-growing regions of Soviet Russia and Kazakhstan. The Ukrainian famine, however, was made deadlier by a series of political decrees and decisions that were aimed mostly or only at Ukraine. In acknowledgment of its scale, the famine of 1932–33 is often called the Holodomor, a term derived from the Ukrainian words for hunger (holod) and extermination (mor).

“The Agriculture Ministry, together with the Industry and Trade Ministry, has drafted a government resolution that provides for a temporary ban on the export of basic grain crops from Russia from March 15 to June 30 of the current year inclusive,” the ministry’s press office told Interfax.

There is still some hope that a worst-case scenario can be avoided, but that is becoming more doubtful literally by the day.

According to Douglas Karr, founder of the business blog Martech Zone, a global food shortage means just that – it will be global – so it will be felt in the “land of plenty” as well: America.

Karr reportedly spoke with several U.S. food industry officials who said farmers in the Midwest and South are already having difficulty obtaining enough fertilizer to grow crops ahead of this year’s planting season, which is just around the corner for some parts of the country. He also said that farmers in the “Midwest are switching,” likely a reference to crops that need fewer nutrients because they “can’t get nitrogen nor fertilizer.”

There is also this: Even before Russian troops stormed across Ukraine’s border, there were already global food shortages, thanks in large part to the supply chain crisis created (and perpetuated) by months-long lockdowns and factory closures following China’s creation and release of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition to Russia curbing exports, Ukraine’s government has also halted food exports to ensure that its people have enough as Russian forces continue pounding their cities and taking over land used for food production.

All said, the United Nations has warned that prices for food – which were already at record highs – will spike even more, from eight to 20 percent from this point on. Add on skyrocketing oil, gasoline and natural gas prices and you have all the makings of a worldwide catastrophe (and the massive unrest it will spark).

If Russia winds up banning food experts, and especially wheat, for months or longer, the global food shortages will likely lead to a far worse crisis than the one that caused the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, tore Syria apart and spread to North Africa.

U.S. Intelligence Warns of Iran Domestic Threat

U.S. Intelligence Warns of Domestic Threat as Biden Prepares to Sign Iran Nuke Agreement

BY RICK MORAN

With everyone’s attention on Ukraine, this seems the opportune time to come to an agreement with the mad mullahs in Iran so we can pretend they won’t build nuclear weapons for a while.

Biden and the U.S. negotiators surely have no illusions about Iran at this point. The 2022 Annual Threat Assessment, published on Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), made that absolutely crystal clear.

The threats aren’t directed at Biden’s people. The Iranians have the hots for Trump and his people.

CBSNews:

CBS News has obtained two persistent threat assessments submitted to Congress by the State Department in January 2022 which cited a “serious and credible threat” on the lives of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Trump administration Iran envoy Brian Hook. These non-public assessments show that throughout 2021, and again in 2022, the State Department assessed the need to provide round-the-clock, U.S.-taxpayer funded diplomatic security details to both men.

The Washington Free Beacon had reported on these blood-chilling threats in January. But the Biden administration doesn’t appear to be too worried — at not least, not worried enough to threaten to walk out of the nuclear talks unless Iran stops targeting American diplomats.

Trying to kill other nations’ diplomats directly contravenes international law, several treaties to which Iran is a signatory, and common decency. But Biden and his crew desperately need a foreign policy win to get his numbers up with Democrats, and making nice with terrorists is very popular in some leftist circles.

On Face the Nation this past Sunday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken sidestepped a question about whether a renewed diplomatic agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear program would also address threats on U.S. soil,  including any targeting his predecessor, Mike Pompeo, who was secretary of state when the assassination strike against Soleimani took place. Blinken instead addressed the broad threat posed to U.S. personnel from Iranian malign actors, saying, “We will stand and act against those every single day.”

The secretary has previously said that Iran is weeks away from obtaining enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb, hence the U.S. attempts to revive the 2015 international agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which would lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for a temporary cap on its nuclear development. President Trump exited the JCPOA in 2018 by sanctioning Iran, and in July 2019, Iran began nuclear-related activities that exceeded the limits of that agreement. The intelligence community assesses that if Iran does not win sanctions relief, then it will proceed with enriching nuclear fuel to weapons-grade material.

Iran was “weeks away” from being able to construct a weapon back in 2015 when the deal was first signed. That agreement did not slow Iran in its drive to build a bomb. The highly enriched uranium that Iran sent to Russia for “safekeeping” was returned to Tehran a few months later. And while Barack Obama bragged that the deal stopped Iran from improving its centrifuge technology, the Iranians read the deal differently and were installing centrifuge machines that were three times more efficient in enriching uranium.

Now Iran has even better centrifuges—and many more of them.

The crime is that this is no surprise to the Biden administration. They know that Iran isn’t going to stop until they have a working bomb. Now, with the Ukraine War taking everyone’s attention, Biden plans to quickly wrap up the negotiations and announce that he’s brought peace in our time … or something.

“We were very clear when we were in the deal originally that nothing about the deal prevents us from taking action against Iran when it’s engaged in actions that threaten us, threaten our allies and partners. That will very much continue,” Blinken said.

House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff agrees that the threats do not have to be addressed in any renewed nuclear-related deal with Iran.

“These other malign activities of Iran’s, their plots against the U.S. personnel or Americans around the world we can deal with and have to deal with separately, and we should deal with them aggressively,” Schiff told Face the Nation, Sunday. “We need to go after all of this, not necessarily in one agreement.”

Let’s get this straight: Iran could assassinate Pompeo or any other Trump-era U.S. official and it wouldn’t stop the nuclear deal? That’s a “separate” issue and shouldn’t get in the way of our surrender on the nuclear deal?

Our nation’s security is in the very best of hands.

 

Negotiator Says Two Countries Will Benefit From Biden’s New Nuke Deal with Iran~Neither of Them Are the U.S.

As I pointed out on Friday, Old Joe Biden’s handlers, in yet another of their endless series of decisions that could easily have catastrophic consequences for ordinary Americans, has turned over the leadership of the Iran nuke deal negotiations in Vienna to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov. What assurance do the blinkered Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his hopelessly America-Last subordinates have that Ulyanov (who, incidentally, shares a name with none other than Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, whose original surname was Ulyanov) will fight for the best interests of the United States? None, of course. And now Mikhail Ulyanov has explained, in a video that surfaced on Twitter Sunday, that the deal is shaping up to be terrific — for the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China.

Shocking video: This is the lead Russian negotiator for the Iran nuclear talks, Mikhail Ulyanov.

Ulyanov said admiringly that “Iranian clerics are fighting for Iranian nuclear – uh, national interests like lions. Indeed, I’m very serious. They fight for every comma, every word, and as a rule quite successfully. I must recognize that.” So the Iranians have for the most part been successful in shaping the deal the way they want it.

How bad is it that the Iranians have gotten what they wanted? It could be unimaginably bad. They’re not haggling over the price of a used car in Vienna. The stakes in this are extremely high here. The Washington Free Beacon reported in mid-December that “an Iranian government-controlled Twitter account posted an image of Israel constructed of matches and included the warning, ‘Just try and you will see.’ The message, also written in Hebrew, is a warning to Israel that if it attempts any attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the hardline regime will start a war. The pack of matches included in the image states, ‘ballistic matchbook,’ an indication that Iran will use its enormous stockpile of advanced long-range missiles to target sites across Israel.”

Even if Israel doesn’t strike Iran, the Islamic Republic has the Jewish state in its crosshairs. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted in 2015: “After negotiations, in the Zionist regime, they said they had no more concern about Iran for next 25 years; I’d say: Firstly, you will not see next 25 years; God willing, there will be nothing as Zionist regime by next 25 years. Secondly, until then, struggling, heroic and jihadi morale will leave no moment of serenity for Zionists.” During Quds Day rallies, as Iranians nationwide chanted “Death to Israel,” officials declared that destroying Israel was “the Muslim world’s top priority.” In Nov. 2021, Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for Iran’s armed forces, boasted: “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter. We want to destroy Zionism in the world.”

And now Ulyanov says that everything is going Iran’s way in Vienna. Asked if he thought the deal could be good for Iran, “because there have been different arguments inside the chambers,” Ulyanov responded: “I am absolutely sincere in this regard when I say Iran got much more than it could expect. Much more. Realistically speaking, Iran got more than, frankly, I expected, others expected. This is a matter of fact.”

The bad news doesn’t end there. Ulyanov added that the Communist Chinese had been beneficiaries of America’s suicidal negotiating posture as well: “Our Chinese friends were also very efficient and useful as co-negotiators. We could rely on each other on many, many points. And on many, many points, through the joint efforts, we succeeded. I can recollect dozens of such cases, when on rather serious, significant questions, we managed together to get positive results, close to what we wanted to achieve.”

Ulyanov didn’t elaborate on what exactly he wanted to achieve, but given the fact that tensions between Russia and the United States haven’t been this high since the Cuban Missile Crisis, it is unlikely in the extreme that he is working toward a deal that will actually do anything effective to rein in Iran’s nuclear program or put a damper on that rogue state’s genocidal ambitions. Ulyanov’s Freudian slip is noteworthy: the Iranians, he said, are fighting like lions for “Iranian nuclear – uh, national interests.” The original Obama nuclear deal effectively gave Iran permission to construct nukes after ten years, and even before that point included ridiculous provisions such as Iran’s right under certain circumstances to inspect its own nuclear plants; since the Biden deal is shaping up to be so very much worse, it seems likely that Ulyanov was speaking more precisely the first time: the Iranians are fighting like lions for their nuclear program. And Old Joe Biden’s handlers are handing it to them on a platter of the uranium that Hillary gave to Russia.

 

 

 

Russian Troops Just SHELLED The Largest Nuclear Plant In Europe, Trading Fire With Ukrainians

TerroRussia

Russian "Pantsir-S" with Ukrainian flag being used against Russians

Russian "Pantsir-S" spotted in Ukraine with the Ukrainian flag. Armed with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Pantsir-S air defense missile system with the Ukrainian flag was spotted. This Pantsir-S air defense missile system might be the one that Ukrainians captured two days ago and now it's being used against Russian Forces. The Ukrainian military published a video showing the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun system in their arsenal, judging by the video footage, it is activated since the equipment is working inside it, although the complex’s radar is in a passive state. On the presented video frames, you can see that the complex does not have any visual damage and therefore quite a lot of questions arise regarding how the ZRPK ended up in service with the Ukrainian army. At the same time, at the moment there is no way to establish the origin of this ZRPK, since these weapons were previously

supplied to many countries of the world. In turn, experts doubted that these weapons could even be used by the Ukrainian military. “Even if the Armed Forces of Ukraine received this complex from abroad, the Ukrainian military is unlikely to be able to effectively manage it, since the training of the Ukrainian military was not carried out. Nevertheless, it is possible that mercenaries who are actively deployed to Ukraine have experience in managing the Pantsir-S air defense missile system., - notes the analyst Avia.pro.

FLASHBACK: Democrats Opposed Sanctions on Russian Gas Two Months Ago

BY MATT MARGOLIS

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

While Democrats are currently exploiting anti-Russian sentiment in the wake of Putin invading Ukraine, when given the opportunity to flex some muscle against Russia earlier this year, they flat out rejected it.

Back in January, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a bill that would have imposed sanctions on businesses connected to Russia’s natural gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2. Senate Democrats denounced the bill as a mere political gesture that they say would have harmed relations with European allies.

“The vote on Cruz’s measure sanctioning operators of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was 55-44, short of the 60 it needed to pass,” the Associated Press reported on January 13. “While opposition from the Democratic-controlled House and President Joe Biden meant it had little chance of success, Republicans used the opportunity to portray Democrats as timid in standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose troops are massed along Ukraine’s borders as he demands concessions from the West.”

Fast-forward to today, some Democrats in Congress are now calling on Biden to ban imports of Russian oil in the hopes of convincing Putin to end his invasion of Ukraine.

“It is so obviously apparent that we need to cut it off,” Sen. Jon Tester, (D-Mont.), told NBC News on Wednesday. “I wonder if there’s a reason we haven’t [and] what the hell the reason is.”

Oh, I have a few ideas.

“We should stop buying over 600,000 barrels [of Russian oil] a day in America,” agreed Sen. Joe Manchin, (D-W.Va.). “Can you believe that? No one knew that. No one paid attention to it. And that has to stop.”

Despite calls from some Democrats to punish Russia, there is actually some division in the party about the move. Republicans, however, are fairly united and are not only calling for sanctions, but also for Biden to reverse course on domestic drilling and the Keystone XL pipeline.

“We’ve got to cut off the oil. It’s going to supply Vladimir Putin’s war machine,” Robert O’Brien, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser says. “We’ve got to restart the Keystone pipeline. Call it the Biden Build Back Better pipeline — I don’t care. But we need the pipeline.”

Democrats had the chance to hit Putin where it hurts months ago… It wasn’t until after Russia invaded Ukraine that some of them decided it was actually okay to do so.

Cowards.

“Residents of the Donbass began to be targeted by their own government in 2014,” says French reporter.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Anne-Laure Bonnel (Insagram, Facebook, Twitter), a French journalist and reporter, is being criticized for claiming that locals in the contested Donbass region bordering Russia are being “targeted” by the Ukrainian government, RT News reports.
  • Bonnell says she’s been filming in the war-torn eastern Ukraine area since 2015.
  • She spoke out about her experience in Donbass in an interview with French newsroom CNews during which she claimed that innocent Donbass citizens are being tortured by their own government.
  • “They are dead and wounded I film them every day,” Bonnel said. “I take photos every day to save as proof I do not have any political message to express.”

  • “Just so you know this conflict has been widely discussed for a week, but it has lasted already eight years and caused the deaths of thirteen thousand people,” she added.
  • “People are devastated. All of them are Ukrainians and they’re extremely surprised that Europe is now aware of the situation.”
  • “This has been going on since 2014.”
  • The French anchorman interrupts Bonnel to clarify that it is Ukrainians being attacked by the Ukrainian government, saying, “Sorry to interrupt—not all of us know about the situation as much as you do, since you’ve been following it for so many years.”
  • “Something you said surprised me,” the anchorman went on. “You said that all of those people are Ukrainians and the shelling is also conducted by Ukrainians?” he asked.
  • “Definitely,” Bonnel responded. “This is something really important and somehow it’s being ignored. Residents of the Donbass began to be targeted by their own government in 2014.”
  • “And you think these bombings are being conducted by the central Ukrainian authorities?” the anchorman asked.
  • “Yes.”
WATCH BONNEL’S INTERVIEW:

WHAT ELSE BONNEL SAID:
  • “Russian-speaking citizens fell victim to shelling by Kiev government. It’s true. I have proof. I can show it as soon as I go back to France,” Bonnel told the French news agency.
  • “I have a whole documentary. It’s undeniable.”

BACKGROUND:
  • Bonnel’s comments corroborate Russia’s allegations that the “special operation” it launched against Ukraine on Feb 24 was aimed at protecting the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) in the Donbass region.
  • Russia claims Ukraine has been committing “genocide” on Russians in disputed Ukrainian regions.
  • The Lugansk People’s Republic “Memorial” organization helps LPR residents who claim they’ve suffered from such Ukrainian aggression to send more than 500 statements of claim to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), LPR Deputy Foreign Minister Anna Soroka—chairwoman of Memorial and the Special Commission under the LPR Head for recording alleged war crimes committed by the Kiev regime—said at a press briefing at the Lugansk Media Centre in 2020.

Syrian, Iraqi, and Afghan Muslim migrants pass themselves off as international students in Ukraine to enter EU

“The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269)

“Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan migrants mingle with Ukrainian refugee flows trying to enter the EU,” ReMix News, March 2, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The flow of refugees from Ukraine is not decreasing, only changing its character. Thousands of Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan, or Kurdish migrants who previously entered Belarus to enter Europe last year are now mingling with the Ukrainian refugee flows headed into Poland, Hungary and Czechia.

Thousands of Iraqi refugees, Syrians, Kurds, or Africans, almost exclusively men, are described trying to enter Poland, according to French newspaper Progress. In addition, many of them are attempting to pass themselves off as international students in Ukraine in an attempt to enter Poland and other nations, reports the French paper.

Many of them have been pushed back since they have no documentation proving their connection with Ukraine, but many thousands have already made it into the EU….

Poland alone says it is expecting 1 million refugees to cross the border, and many millions more may cross at different points into other nations. Migrants from Middle Eastern and African countries will undoubtedly see the moment as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use Ukraine as a gateway into Europe. Many countries with strict immigration policies, such as Hungary, have indicated that they will open the border to all refugees from Ukraine, including those from third countries.
