Russia Pushes Society-Wide Artificial Intelligence Hard
Russia is pushing the same technocratic agenda as the US and the West, but in some ways even harder: biometric terminals, digital ruble, digital cities and AI cooperation with China. The agenda of enslavement by AI encompasses the entire world, and China-Russia is the next planned center of world power for the NWO conspirators. - M.F.

Putin's Conditions on a Cease Fire
President Donald Trump is actively working to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, pushing both Ukraine and Russia to agree to a 30-day total ceasefire. Ukraine, which had previously resisted, has now agreed, but Russia remains hesitant, setting conditions and raising concerns over enforcement and verification. Trump has engaged in direct discussions with Vladimir Putin and emphasized the humanitarian crisis, particularly focusing on Ukrainian troops trapped by Russian forces. He has publicly urged Putin to spare their lives, and in response, Russian officials stated they would guarantee the safety of surrendering Ukrainian troops but warned of severe consequences if they resisted. Russia's reluctance stems from past ceasefire violations, particularly from the 2015 Minsk Agreements, and their demand for clear enforcement mechanisms. Russia also firmly opposes any NATO-backed peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, insisting that any monitoring must come from a neutral party. While Trump remains hopeful that a ceasefire will be reached, challenges persist, including Russia's strategic leverage in the war and their unwillingness to accept certain conditions. Trump appears to be exploring ways to incentivize Russia into agreement while avoiding concessions that might make the U.S. or Ukraine appear weak. The broader implication is that Trump's diplomatic efforts are gaining some traction, but significant hurdles remain, with Russia maintaining a strong negotiating position and dictating terms that may not be acceptable to Ukraine or the West. - D.D.
Putin Issues US List Of Demands To Achieve 30-Day Ceasefire
Reasons why Russia to refuse a ceasefire (and especially anything deemed temporary):
A ceasefire would be exploited by the West and Ukraine to halt the advance of the Russian army, strip it of its initiative, supply the Ukrainian army with more weapons, continue extensive mobilization in Ukraine, and strengthen the repressive and anti-Russian nature of the Ukrainian political regime
The experience of the Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 agreements clearly demonstrates this pattern
The consistent dishonesty of Western politicians and media regarding the conflict, as well as their refusal to acknowledge their own and Ukraine’s culpability, strongly suggests that history will repeat itself
Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials have repeatedly stated that what Russia needs is lasting peace, not just a temporary ceasefire
The West cannot really be trusted
Russia is advancing. A ceasefire always benefits those who are retreating.
Russia's President Putin in new Thursday remarks declared that his forces are beating back the Ukrainians on all fronts, and especially now in Kursk. "Command and control of Ukrainian troops inside the incursion zone is no longer possible," Putin said. "During the first stages, the Ukrainian military attempted to leave this zone in small groups. This is no longer possible."
"They are leaving their military equipment behind, because there is no way to evacuate it. It will remain there, that’s for sure," he added. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is soon expected to meet with Putin again. While the Russian leader said he is 'for' achieving a 30-day ceasefire, he has raised serious questions about what stipulations must be added. In essence at this point Putin is conveying a list of objections as follows, via state media translation:
“We also want guarantees that during the 30-day ceasefire, Ukraine will not conduct mobilization, will not train soldiers, and will not receive weapons ,” Putin said during a press briefing with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow.
The president pointed out that Russian troops are advancing along nearly 2,000 kilometers of frontline, and halting military actions could disrupt ongoing operations. Ukrainian forces could use a ceasefire period to regroup, receive more weapons, and train fresh recruits, he warned.
“These 30 days — how will they be used? To continue forced mobilization in Ukraine? To receive more arms supplies? To train newly mobilized units? Or will none of this happen?” Putin asked.
Enforcing a ceasefire over such a vast battlefield would be difficult, he added, violations could be easily disputed, leading to a blame game between both sides. Systems of “control and verification” to monitor a ceasefire are not in place but should be agreed.
Some of these demands were no doubt communicated to the US side, with Reuters reporting that the Kremlin's formal list of requirements to achieve permanent ceasefire have been delivered:
Russia has laid out a list of demands to U.S. authorities that need to be met in order for the war in Ukraine to end, Reuters reported, citing two people "familiar with the matter."
The requests are also aimed at resetting the Kremlin's relations with Washington, D.C., the outlet noted.
The list of demands came just before Russia’s Defense Ministry announced it has taken over Sudzha, the biggest town in the Kursk region that has been overrun by Ukrainian forces since the surprise cross-border offensive in August 2024. The takeover came after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited military headquarters in the region and spoke to military commanders there.
The exact content of these demands are not yet known, but at least some of it was probably echoed in Putin's Thursday remarks.
Russia has rejected the US-proposed 30-day ceasefire which came out of the Jeddah meeting with Ukraine, describing that it would only allow Ukrainian forces to regroup.
"This is nothing other than a temporary time-out for Ukrainian soldiers, nothing more. Our goal is a long-term peaceful resolution," Yuri Ushakov, a senior aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, told Russian state television. "Our goal is a long-term peaceful settlement that takes into account the legitimate interests of our country and our well-known concerns. It seems to me that no one needs any steps that (merely) imitate peaceful actions in this situation," he said. He further expressed that it would "give nothing" to Russia.
This was the first official public response on the issue from the Kremlin, after it said Wednesday it was "studying" the proposal. President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is currently en route to Moscow to discuss the temporary truce proposal.
Ushakov says he has communicated Moscow's rejection of the 30-day ceasefire plan to Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz.
None of this comes as a great surprise, given not only that Russian forces have the clear battlefield momentum and upper-hand, but back in January President Putin explained why he would never settle for any ceasefire that's temporary.
He had said at the time, "The goal should not be a short truce, not some kind of respite for regrouping forces and rearmament with the aim of subsequently continuing the conflict, but a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all nations living in this region."
The Russian leader had on Wednesday visited Kursk region for the first time since Ukraine's incursion there and holding of territory which began in August.
"Our immediate goal is as soon as possible to conclusively destroy the enemy entrenched on the territory of Kursk region," Putin said.
And the optics and symbolism were not missed on Russia's enemies, as Putin was dressed in military fatigues as he addressed top generals, which is a rarity.
President Trump has been warning of what could happen if Moscow doesn't come the negotiating table. "I can do things financially that would be very bad for Russia," Trump said earlier. "I don't want to do that because I want to get peace. I want to see peace and we'll see. But in a financial sense, yeah, we could do things very bad for Russia. It would be devastating for Russia."
But as Moon of Alabama highlights in fresh analysis, the meager 30-day truce offering which came out of Jeddah demonstrates weakness on the US side. Asia Times had predicted:
According to the latest from Riyadh, Ukraine says it is ready for a 30 day cease fire. If this is what Washington “extracted” from the Ukrainians, it is operationally meaningless. With Russia on the brink of winning in Kursk and elsewhere, the Russians won’t accept any such deal. If it is a ruse to allow the US to resume arms shipments to Ukraine, knowing Russia will reject it, the so-called peace initiative is a dead letter.
Meanwhile RT has featured the explanation and more context to Russia's rejection by political analyst Sergey Markov as follows...

ODESSA on FIRE: Russia Sunk a 178-meter-long BRITISH Ship Full of STARSTREAK Surface-To-Air Missiles
The shameful retreat of the Ukrainian Army from the Kursk region and the entry of Russian troops into the Sumy Oblast has become the primary topic of discussion in all global media, including commentary from experts and analysts. Everything that is happening right now in the northern part of Ukraine indicates that the flight of the Ukrainian Army from the Kursk region is just the beginning of major problems for the whole of Ukraine. So on the morning of March 13, amid the chaotic retreat of the Ukrainian Army from the Kursk region, Russian troops entered the settlement of 'Basovka' in the northern part of the Sumy region. - Borzzikman.
Pepe Escobar : The Ceasefire Kabuki

A Russian Plane Zaps U.S. Warship’s Missile Defense System
An unarmed Russian bomber in April flew over a high-tech U.S. ship. A crew member pressed a button. Poof! No more missile defense system on the ship. No more radar. The ship became a defenseless floating coffin.
Then the plane flew over the blind ship a dozen times. Basically, it was “Nyah, nyah, nyah.”
This story got no play in American media.
On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest.
The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.
The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.
Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny.
As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up — or about to be — with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control.
The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft — unarmed — repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.
After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania.
Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.
According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.
Vladimir Balybine — director of the research center on electronic warfare and the evaluation of so-called “visibility reduction” techniques attached to the Russian Air Force Academy — made the following comment: “The more a radio-electronic system is complex, the easier it is to disable it through the use of electronic warfare.”
In short, “back to the drawing board!”
Problem: it takes about seven years for the Pentagon to design and deploy a new cybersecurity system. As for missile guidance systems, it takes even longer.
If you want to know how much bang for the taxpayer’s buck the Pentagon gets, begin here.
This is blind man’s bluff. The Pentagon is the blind man.
The Pentagon’s strategy is to play dumb. “Incident? What incident?”
Congressional hearings? Don’t hold your breath.
Now Russia’s defense minister says that Russian bombers will soon start patrolling the Gulf of Mexico.
George H. W. Bush and NATO promised in 1990 that NATO would not be expanded to Russia’s borders. Then NATO broke the promise. It was mission creep by a bloated bureaucracy, whose original mission was to defend Western Europe for a few hours against an invasion by the USSR until the USA launched nuclear missiles on the USSR. That mission officially ended in 1991, when the USSR committed suicide.
Russian bombers in the Gulf? We are now seeing tit-for-tat. It is mission creep from the other side.
All those Pentagon bucks! So little bang!
