NATO Demands X Censorship:

Defensive Alliance Bemoans Return of RT on X Platform

Jens Stoltenberg & Co. have been analyzing how RT is doing (very kind of them). According to NATO’s Strategic Communications Center of Excellence, Russian and Chinese media have seen a dramatic rise in visibility online.

Until Elon Musk took over, the likes of RT were branded ‘state-affiliated’ and cast into the shadows. Now, the playing field has been leveled again – with outlets like the BBC labeled.

NATO’s data says there’s been a 60% average increase in views – with 150% for the Russian Embassy in 🇺🇸 – and even singles out RT’s sister channels in Arabic and Spanish, up 48% and 87% respectively.

NATO is angry that X is allowing RT and others to go viral again.

Over the last few days, the Russian MoD reported simply the continuation of the special military operation. The Ukies and the Poles and other mercanaries keep throwing themselves against the Russian defenses, and Russia keeps crawling forward. The western news forces are trying to put lipstick on this pig and find something good for them in the situation, but there is nothing good for them. On a daily basis, they are losing more spectacularly, or even spectacularly stupidly, while Russian forces continue to shape the battlefield for themselves.

The supposed attempt at some kind of multi-national peace initiative is also losing energy.  Russia holds the peace and will hold the peace.

Easing the way and reducing any pressure in run-up to the BRICS summit

India-China border talks to resume soon

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Monday that talks to ease tensions along the border have not been “halted” and that both the countries “have made progress on key tension points in the last three years”.

“India-China border talks not halted, meeting will be held soon,” Jaishankar said. Both India and China have been holding several rounds of military-level talks to solve issues in the disputed border regions.

In June this year, the Ministry of External Affairs had said both sides agreed to hold the 19th round of high-level military talks at an early date for restoration of peace and tranquility in the border areas.

We have a new peace plan from the meetings in Jeddah, reportedly (and without Russia).  All I can say, is that the West and NATO are now more than desperate and they are beginning to negotiate.  It is negotiation into the void, as Russia is not present.  The quoted piece from TASS has a surprise at the last sentence and BRICS is beginning to show its teeth.

Medvedev writes (https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/369):  (The so-called peace meeting that is ongoing now)

About Jeddah

Condemning the desire to end the war is difficult.
Arguing with references to the UN Charter becomes impossible as it acknowledges not only sovereignty but also the right of nations to self-determination.
However, any peace proposal’s success hinges on meeting three key conditions:

• Both sides of the conflict must participate, which is currently not happening.
• Taking the historical context into account, Ukraine did not exist before 1991; it was a fragment of the Russian Empire.
• Considering current realities, Ukraine is in a stage of semi-decay, and some of its territories have returned to Russia.

A mediator who recognizes these obvious facts stands a chance of success, while others may not.

Nevertheless, negotiations themselves may not be necessary yet. The enemy must kneel, begging for mercy.

AHH and I are still updating on the Niger coup here. It is beginning to ring out across the world. The World Bank has entered the theater with some bribery. The World Bank is aiming to help fund construction of 1,000 mini solar power grids in Nigeria in partnership with the government and private sector, the lender’s president Ajay Banga said on Saturday.

Nigeria’s President Tinubu was money laundering for heroin dealers in Chicago.

Tinubu will destroy ECOWAS kpata Kpata.

We Africans will use his criminal records to show how the USA 🇺🇸 and France 🇫🇷 continue to pillage and destroy democracy in Africa while pretending to be upholding democracy.

Future generations of Africa will now know their true history https://t.co/dk6S8iRW55

We are seeing more talk from the African leaders opposing military force. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said that a possible intervention in Niger would be a direct threat to his country. Algeria opposes possible military intervention in the Republic of Niger, where the head of State Mohamed Bazoum was removed from power as a result of the July 26 mutiny. This was stated on Saturday evening by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in an interview with national television.

“Waving military intervention in Niger is a direct threat to Algeria, and we completely and categorically reject it,” the head of state stressed. “Problems should be solved peacefully,” he continued, speaking about the events taking place in Niger.

“There has been a coup [in Niger]. And we have confirmed that we stand for constitutional legality. And it is necessary to return to this legality. We are ready to help them,” Tebboune added.
