Fact Sheet on the National Endowment for Democracy

🇺🇸⛔The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries' internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences. 

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), as one of the US government's main "foot soldiers", "white gloves" and "democracy crusaders", has subverted lawful governments and cultivated pro-US puppet forces around the world under the pretext of promoting democracy. Its disgraceful record has aroused strong discontent in the international community. 

In today's world, peace and development is the theme of the times, and the trend towards greater democracy in international relations is unstoppable. Any attempt to interfere in other countries' internal affairs in the name of democracy is unpopular and is doomed to failure.

Rep. Gallagher warns US running low on some weapons stockpiles after supplying Ukraine

"What's bad is the president himself seems at times to constantly want to remind everybody what we won’t do and putting arbitrary limits on our assistance, I think, undermines our effort. But, the real ugly is that we are running low in terms of our stockpiles. We just burned through seven years of Javelins and that’s not only important as we continue to try and help the Ukrainians win in Ukraine, that's important as we try to simultaneously defend Taiwan from aggression from the Chinese Communist Party. They are going to need access to some of these same weapons systems, and we simply don’t have the stockpiles at present in order to backfill what we’ve spent in Ukraine."

77th anniversary of the Great Victory of Russia!

This day is especially important for all Russians, and for those whom they freed from the Nazi terror in 1945.

On this day, we would like to remind all those liars, thieves and murderers who want Russia gone: beware. We are the descendants of those who broke down the Mongolian Horde, eliminated Napoleon's army, and annihilated Hitler's war machine.

We will crush any enemy. The Victory has always been, is and will always be ours!
