Russia Uses "Kinzhal" Hypersonic Missile in Ukraine: the How & Why
Thai Volunteers Poisoned by Western Media Sign up for Ukraine Fight
March 19, 2022 (Brian Berletic - NEO) - As Russia’s special operations continue in Ukraine so does the West’s propaganda war against it. The propaganda is particularly effective but also particularly predictable in terms of who will be drawn in by it and become hysterical because of it.
This includes right-wing extremists from across the Western world but also the many US-sponsored “pro-democracy” movements elsewhere. This includes within the Southeast Asian Kingdom of Thailand.
Reuters in an article titled, “Thai democracy activists sign up to fight ‘tyranny’ in Ukraine,” would claim:
Far-off Thailand might not seem an obvious place for recruits to Ukraine’s efforts to raise an international volunteer force to defend against Russia’s invasion.
But for former Thai Air Force conscript turned political activist Chanaphong “Ball” Phongpai, the cause is a natural fit for members of the pro-democracy movement that emerged in 2020 to protest a military-backed government in the Southeast Asian country.
Reuters would also claim that these Thai “activists” saw Russia as a “superpower and a tyrant,” lifting phrases verbatim from the halls of Western power and from across Western media headlines.
After years of covering up the violent nature of US-sponsored anti-government protest in Thailand, Reuters obliquely admitted in its more recent article that indeed the protests were violent, noting how those interested in fighting in Ukraine claimed they needed to “switch from holding bottle bombs to holding guns.”
Russian Operations in Ukraine: Week 3
March 16, 2022 (The New Atlas/LandDestroyer) - It is now 3 weeks since Russia launched special operations in neighboring Ukraine to confront NATO expansion, the building of a Western-sponsored army of literal Nazis on Russia’s borders, and to end the 8 year long war the US-sponsored regime in Kiev has waged on ethnic Russians on Russia’s doorstep in eastern Ukraine.

Information Sovereignty More Important Than Ever
March 16, 2022 (Brian Berletic - NEO) - The elimination of Russian media across the West and to a greater extent from across US-based social media platforms used worldwide, is a stark demonstration of the power the West still wields within global information space.
It is a wake-up call for nations around the globe regarding the threat of leaving a nation’s information space not only completely undefended, but entirely dominated by foreign interests.
Southeast Asia, for example, counts Russia as a close ally and an important counterweight to maintain a balance in global relations and even as a means of protection against Western influence and even interference.
Yet because Southeast Asian countries are overly dependent on US-based social media giants like Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google (including YouTube), and Twitter, their respective information spaces have been flooded with anti-Russian sentiment and even outright hostility. Moreover, voices within each respective Southeast Asian country critical of Western claims and sympathetic toward Russia are being suppressed if not outright censored and permanently silenced.
Welcome to the New Atlas Back-Up
March 16, 2022 (Brian Berletic - LD) - My website - NewAtlas.report - is currently down.
Land Destroyer was my original blog from back in 2009-2010. I had used it for over 10 years and thankfully kept it as a backup in case anything happened to the New Atlas.
I hosted the New Atlas in Russia knowing that it would be very difficult for the US to shut it down or seize it. However, recent sanctions have made it impossible for me to renew my hosting plan with the Russian company New Atlas was using - so I am working to transfer the site elsewhere.
In the meantime, please check Landdestroyer.blogspot.com for my latest articles, videos, and other updates.
