The report claims the six Y-20s delivered Chinese made HQ-22/FK-3 antiaircraft missile systems. Communist China’s Y-20s landed at the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade. Associated Press says Serbian officials refused to comment.

The Serbian government purchased the HQ-22/FK-3 missile system in 2019, the United States government protested the purchase in 2020.

China claims the shipment of the HQ-22/FK-3 system, using six fuel guzzling air-transports, was just about delivering “regular military supplies”.
In this video report, dated 07MAR2022, a Y-20 pilot states that civilian airports in China must be ‘upgraded’ to support military aircraft, in the name of disaster response:
The Y-20 made its first flight in 2013 and reported for duty with the PLA-Air Force on 06JUL2016. Video report dated 26JAN2022, about the 9th Anniversary of the Y-20’s first flight:
The Y-20 has also made global deliveries of China’s anti-Pandemic vaccine, as well as other Pandemic “prevention and control materials”.

During World War Two, the United States government commissioned the creation of an anti-German/Japanese documentary called Why We Fight, supervised by Hollywood legend Frank Capra. The first episode focused on explaining the military history of Russia leading up to the Second World War. This included the Battle of Poltava, Poltava is a major city in Ukraine. It also mentions the Russian state of Ukraine and the Crimea during the First World War, saying “And only the ultimate collapse of Imperial Germany saved Russia from losing the Ukraine and Crimea.”
Here is an excerpt from the first episode of Why We Fight, up to the Battle of Poltava:
Here is an excerpt from the first episode of Why We Fight, including the part where it is stated that Ukraine and Crimea are Russian, and ends by saying “Yes, for seven hundred years Russian people have had to fight, to defend their land against would be conquerors. Why? Why have all these attempts been made to conquer Russia?”:
In this excerpt, Why We Fight explains the true reason why Russia is the target of global control freaks; natural resources:
Why We Fight also focuses on the people of Russia, referencing Ukraine and its residents as “Little Russians”:

On 24MAR2022, NATO issued this propaganda video in which it claims that Russia threatens international law, and claims that Europe and North America are united more than ever. Is this an admission that ‘International Law’ is actually Europe/North American law?

30MAR2022, U.S. Air Force General Tod D. Wolters, commander of the U.S. European Command, reveals that they knew last year that the Ukraine Crisis was coming, testifies to the U.S. House Armed Services Committee about efforts to increase NATO’s ability to defend itself (not Ukraine), including space and cyberspace operations, saying “This effort is America’s effort”. Admits the U.S. has been “prepositioning” stockpiles of weapons in NATO Europe for several years, also admits that all those NATO wargames/expansion in the past few decades has been about confronting Russia:
Despite a few ‘Western countries’ following the lead of the U.S. and halting purchase of Russian Natural Gas, NATO Germany is among many European Union/NATO countries that continue to buy Russian Gas, and they are using Euros.
On 29MAR2022, Russia resumed shipments of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) to NATO Bulgaria.
It was also reported in Russian news media that the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office and Presidential Press Secretary (aka Kremlin spokesperson) Dmitry Sergeyevich Peskov said Russia was about to require that all foreign purchases of Russian natural resources, and refined resources, (basically anything that comes out of Russia) had to be made in Rubles. This requirement reportedly will begin on 31MAR2022.
It’s beginning to look like the Ukraine Crisis is actually about destroying U.S. dominance of the global economy.

Also on 16MAR2022, NATO U.S. President Joe Biden’s promise of ‘unprecedented’ deliveries of antiaircraft systems to Ukraine actually involves U.S. taxpayers buying NATO Slovakia’s Russian made (ironic) S-300 system (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble), and giving it to Ukraine!

On 17MAR2022, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a live video speech to the German Bundestag, in which he essentially says he now realizes Ukraine was just a pawn, that the reason why the West/NATO dragged their feet on helping Ukraine was that there is a conspiracy between Russia and NATO to bring back the Cold War era Iron Curtain. He specifically used the word “wall” and said the true goal is to create a new “divided Europe”:
Back in February I warned that there was evidence that Biden/NATO/Ukraine was going to start a full-on war with Russia in March. On 09MAR2022, Russia announced that its soldiers captured Ukrainian National Guard documents that revealed that there is a massive offensive planned against Russia, to start in March! The plans are dated 22JAN2022!
In July 2021 I revealed U.S. President Biden’s SECRET NEW AFGHAN-AFRICAN REFUGEE OPERATION. I understood the Afghan part, after almost two decades of not really getting anywhere, spending a hell-of-a-lot of tax dollars and shedding a lot of blood, Biden had approved a sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from the Central Asian country, but what did the continent of Africa have to do with it?
For almost a decade, NATO Europe has been dealing with a tsunami of migrants coming from Africa. Ironically, it is precisely the European, Canadian and United States NATO ‘peacekeeping’ operations that have ramped-up volatility in central and Northern Africa, to the point that people would rather risk dying during an escape to Europe, than to stay in their home countries. African migrants are even traveling to Colombia, in South America, before starting their long caravans North to the United States.
Since January of this year, it appears that NATO is losing control of the Central African region of the second-largest and second-most populous continent on this planet, with new found resources and potentially the largest economy in the world.
In the past couple of days, NATO France announced it was unassing the African country of Mail, literally telling the government of Mali it was on its own. This involves other NATO European members and NATO Canada.
The area of Africa that NATO is unassing is known as The Sahel. It has long been part of the so called War on Terror against ‘extremists’, but since the beginning of the Gregorian year several countries in that area have experienced military coups.
It also turns out that Russia has increased its operations in The Sahel.
Does this mean Biden is thinking of a sudden pull-out of U.S. personnel? Recent news releases by the U.S. Department of Defense makes it look like the U.S. is making its Africa operations a permanent deployment.
