⭕ Militarily, I conclude that #Hezbollah has won the war against #Israel.

Domestically, the Lebanese need to repair their relationship with Hezbollah because they mistakenly believe it has been defeated.
⭕ Israel Ben Gurion airport hit with huge explosion hours after the announcement of Donald Trump ad the new elected president and forty days after the assassination of Sayyed Nasrallah. It is unlikely the hit came from #Hezbollah, #Lebanon.
⭕ Hezbollah announced the target was not Ben Gurion airport but a military base nearby. Hezbollah won’t give Israel the pretext to hit Rafic Hariri Beirut airport.
⭕ The level of #Hezbollah bombardment of #Israel today was very significant, coinciding with the inauguration of the new Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, and the election of a new US president, Donald Trump.
⭕ Israel killed 45 Lebanese civilians and wounded 59 in its vicious and disproportionate bombardment against the Bekaa.

⭕️ Total chaos within the entity: the US administrator wants to know why War Minister Yoav Gallant was sacked, Netanyahu flees his residence like an idiot, Israel’s biggest telegram channel reports huge losses due to Iranian strikes, demonstrations, calls for civil disobedience…
⭕ Here’s the commentary on this situation from Israel’s largest channel on Telegram:

“When Prime Minister [Netanyahu]tries to hide crimes in his office and give gifts to the Haredim, he should be expelled forever. This is a betrayal of fighters and soldiers, and essentially a betrayal of the people of Israel and the security of its citizens.

Netanyahu represents a risk to the security of the State of Israel. To hell with him, this man is not afraid of God!

Netanyahu accused Gallant of aiding the enemy, yet it is he who hides under the radar the number of casualties caused to Israel by Iran. Israel was badly damaged by the Iranian attack, and it’s forbidden to tweet about it. That’s why Netanyahu is trembling with fear in the face of Iran.

Netanyahu is a liar, Iran has nuclear bombs, and he has failed on every security issue. Even without Iran’s nukes, they’re afraid of Iran, which is why he doesn’t really attack Iran.

Netanyahu has wasted the lives of fallen army fighters on himself and his wife as a dictator.

Now they’re going to try to depose the Chief of Staff and the head of the Shin Bet.

You sold our fighters today to the Haredim and for your wife’s chair!

Isn’t Yisrael Katz the coward who restored water and electricity to Gaza?”

⭕ 🇺🇸 How Trump would end the war in the Middle East is still unpredictable, Egyptian politician told Sputnik

“As for the process of settlement in the Middle East, it is already known from leaks from the office of the Israeli Prime Minister that Trump asked Netanyahu to end the war in the Middle East before he officially takes office as president at the end of January next year, but all this remains speculation at the moment,” Rakha Ahmad Hassan, a member of the Egyptian Council of Foreign Affairs, said.

He added that Trump’s victory in the American elections was obvious due to the confusion in the Democratic Party, as well as the inability of Kamala Harris, a Democrat presidential candidate, to end the war in the Gaza Strip.

At the same time, political scientist Silin Al-Jarizi assumed that Trump would continue to support Israel. Al-Jarizi recalled his decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

“Everyone knows his position and how he acts, especially in matters of the Middle East and his unconditional support for Israel; no one will forget his decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem,” Al-Jarizi told Sputnik in an interview.

⭕ 🌍🇺🇸 “Whatever policy US shall have for Africa, it is not actually meaningful for now”: an African professor predicts shifting global landscape

We have developed less interest in the American elections. Recently, Africans never cared who actually wins the election, Professor Sheriff Ghali Ibrahim, a Nigerian political science expert, told Sputnik Africa.

He added that Africans don’t expect a change in the US policy towards Africa when Trump comes to power, because hundreds of years or centuries of relationship with the West has not actually provided meaningful progress or development for Africa.

He believes that Africa is no longer content with standards dictated by Western powers, and is instead actively pursuing a more equitable and balanced future within the international system. This shift is evidenced by Africa’s increasing alignment with the BRICS system, which promotes peace and cooperation.

While not endorsing any US candidate, Professor Ibrahim believes Trump is a better option due to his promise to end the Ukrainian conflict, which he sees as essential for achieving peace in Gaza.

However, he warned of the potential trade war with China under Trump, which could negatively impact the global economy.

With conformal fuel tanks and the ability to carry extra fuel pods, the F-15E can reach extended ranges suitable for regional deployments.

⭕ ‼️ How the Ukraine War Ends

Many Trump supporters now expect him to call up Putin and “tell” him the war in Ukraine is over.

Won’t happen.

The Russians will add Sumy, send this map to Washington, and then demand the US remove their missile systems from both Poland and Romania.
🔻 C1: Ukraine will be lucky to hold Odessa. Russia would absolutely love it.
I can’t see trump handing that over but certainly all of the Oblasts that border Russia and have a majority ethnically Russian population will likely be in play.

I hope this is a lesson to anyone else considering being a Proxy for the US.

This was entirely predictable. Geopolitics academics correctly warned what was happening in slow-motion but everyone behind this seemed to think it was a good idea.

The whole thing makes me want to vomit. Like the World isn’t difficult enough as it is. smh.
🔻 WS: “Trump handing that over”?

Trump has absolutely ZERO say in the matter.

Odessa is Russia. There is no way this war will conclude without all of Odessa and Transnistria restored to the motherland.
🔻 C1: Oh I don’t think he has nothing to say on the subject. If negotiations go badly this could get much, much worse for everyone.

I am supportive of a resolution to this repellent proxy war Will, pick you fights against those who don’t even accept that premiss in the first place.
🔻 WS: Not picking a fight. Simply emphasizing the reality that the US/NATO no longer have any leverage in this war. Russia will dictate the terms of its resolution, and the disposition of territories.
🔻 C1: *IF* the negotiation goes poorly there is scope for this to still go completely out of control. Trump is the definition of a loose cannon. There are plenty of rabid dogs that if given permission would like to carry on this war.

We have a chance now with a new administration for an end to this disgrace.
Don’t assume that lack of leverage doesn’t mean that stupid ignorant people will not do stupid reckless things.

Finally I want to see justice for Ukraine and frankly Russia. Victoria Nuland should be prosecuted. I can think of other names too.

Peace.
🔻 C2: Dream on. Putin knows better. The deal will be that Russia takes Eastern Ukraine where the Russian population lives and that Ukraine will never join NATO. I support Russia in this war and NATO caused it but do not be stupid in your demands.
🔻 WS: More likely Russia will annex at least everything not in blue on this map.

Russia will claim as much additional strategic depth as they deem necessary.

And, above all, they will reassimilate all of Odessa to the Danube. They will control the Black Sea.
🔻 C3: I think Putin doesn’t care about getting new territories. Actually the peace deal he offered Ukraine is ridiculous good for Ukraine, to the point that you have to think if he’s crazy considering how many war crimes Ukraine committed.

He’ll probably just demand the 4 oblasts he integrated into Russia and that Ukraine won’t become part of NATO or used as a proxy Army. That’s it. I think he won’t even get to prosecute Zelensky and the Nazi inner circle for their war crimes
🔻 WS: You don’t understand the Russians.

If Putin doesn’t demand and obtain at least what is indicated on the map I posted, then he will be removed, and the next guy will do it.
🔻 C4: Never seen a Trump supporter say that. But thanks for trying again.

Yes, I am sure they have confidence in their leader.
🔻 WS: Trump himself said it. Multiple times. And it has been repeated ad nauseum by his supporters ever since.
🔻 C5: We can probably keep the missiles in place if Trump guarantees recognition of the 2014 plebiscite putting Crimea in Russian hands. But, yes, everything else here is accurate.
🔻 WS: I am convinced Putin will not only demand the removal of the missile systems in Poland and Romania, but that he will demand NATO withdraw all its military presence to the pre-1997 borders, as he has plainly reiterated multiple times.
📜 In for a Pound
🔻 WS: This is silly talk. The US has nothing left to send to the black hole of the Ukrainian battlefield.

The Russians don’t care what the US will “agree” to do.

So few people actually pay attention to what the Russians say.
🔻 C6: US oligarchs own Ukraine so no, it won’t happen.
🔻 WS: Those deeds are null and void.

And there is nothing they can do about it.
🔻 C7: Seems to me a little far fetched considering the actual situation in the front
🔻 WS: Then you don’t understand the “actual situation”.
🔻 C7: Yes, it may be that I am not clear about what is currently happening on the battlefield and that the map of territories that you propose Russia would take would be ideal…but don’t you think that implies at least one or two more years of war?
🔻 WS: No.

The AFU is a spent force, with no possibility of obtaining more troops, equipment, and munitions. If those who remain want to fight to the death, the Russians will accommodate their wishes.
🔻 C8: Neither Tom Cotton nor Mike Pompeo (rumored candidates for Trump’s SecDef) would support removing Polish & Ronania missiles.
🔻 WS: Then the Russians will remove them.
🔻 C9: Attacking Nato and starting a full scale war with us and Europe?
🔻 WS: They would warn them: “Remove them by such and such date, or else.”

Neither the US nor its vassal poodles are capable of engaging in “full scale war” against Russia in eastern Europe. Anyone who believes otherwise has simply not been paying attention to what has happened.
🔻 C10: I don’t see how this would happen with Putin himself having expressed being satisfied with Donbass, Zap, Kherson and Crimea to Russia + neutral status for the remaining Ukraine.
🔻 WS: You have misunderstood what Putin has said. He was talking about the preconditions to BEGIN negotiations.

Besides, that proposal is long-since expired. The terms have now been altered.
🔻 WS: Odessa to the Danube is a strategic imperative.
🔻 C11: Why not all?
🔻 WS: Because they don’t want it.
🔻 C12: If I was Russia, I would add Poltava and Transnistria too.
🔻 WS: Transnistria is a given.

And if the Ukrainian crazies give them any reason to believe it is necessary, the Russians will push as far west as needed to eradicate them.

You don’t fight and win a major war like this one and not get EXACTLY what you want in the end.
🔻 C13: Sanctions and the reserves ?
🔻 WS: The US is already violating its own sanctions to trade with Russia. And they don’t dare confiscate Russian foreign assets because it will destroy the global dollar system.
🔻 C14: Yes, this will be their demands, but I think the are also willing to negotiate, since they refered to the Istanbul accords as a starting point, which were much more favourable for Ukraine
🔻 WS: Too late for that now. The offer expired.
🔻 C15: Hopefully Trump tells the drug addict to surrender or fight without U.S help, Zelensky would pack his bags and high tail it out in minutes!
🔻 WS: The Russians won’t consent to talk with Zelensky about ANYTHING. They do not recognize him as the leader of Ukraine. They will either kill him, or capture him and try him for war crimes.
🔻 C16: Larry Fink will be on the horn with Trump pretty quick.
🔻 C17: IMHO this map won’t happen w/out Putin and Trump haggling first about what constitutes a valid land registry record. If that’s resolved Trump won’t care what Ukraine looks like.

If not, Blackrock might end up incurring a total loss on the order of 2-300B $. They wont accept it.
🔻 C18: How many divisions does Blackrock have?

And before you answer, how many divisions is Trump willing to lose for Blackrock?
🔻 WS: I don’t think you appreciate the parameters of the game as they have evolved over the past several years.

My best argument in that respect is this long article I wrote in February 2023. 5000 words, if you’re up to it. Probably a 30-minute read.
📜 The Ontological Incoherence of American Imperial Exceptionalism
🔻 C19: What about all of Ukraine is Russian and we keep the Polish systems?
Thus Neither side really gives away anything
Just an idea, could be totally wrong and not make sense
🔻 WS: I suspect the Russians will be content to let the fools of western Ukraine simmer for a decade in a stew of bitter consequences, until they crawl to Moscow on their hands and knees and beg to be brought back into the fold.

Until then, they’re more trouble than they’re worth.
🔻 C20: [posts this map as rebuttal]
🔻 WS: I acknowledge this is possible, and perhaps even probable.

It’s just that I’ve been posting that map since February 27, 2022. At this point I think it represents the bare minimum.
🔻 WS: The Big Serge @witte_sergei also crafted an excellent map that pertains to these questions.

More likely Russia will annex at least everything not in blue on this map.

Russia will claim as much additional strategic depth as they deem necessary.

And, above all, they will reassimilate all of Odessa to the Danube. They will control the Black Sea.
🔻 C21: They’ve made demands before. Didn’t work well for them. (Or for Ukraine.)
🔻 WS: The Russians are now entered the final stage of achieving the most strategically significant military triumph since the end of WW2.

They will have defeated the single most powerful army in western Europe, supplied by a large proportion of the US/NATO equipment and munitions stockpiles.

Russia will emerge from this war as the single most potent and battle-hardened military on the planet.

They most certainly will make “demands”. And those demands will be met.

NATO will cease to be a credible military/political alliance; the EU will cease to be a credible monetary/political union. Anglo-American hegemony is being shattered before our eyes. The world will return to a balance-of-powers multipolar system.
🔻 C22: Multi-polar world. It was in the cards.
🔻 C23: Trump pretty much spilled the tea on Rogan. If the US pumps enough gas, Russia will struggle to pay for this war. Ten times smarter than pointless sanctions
🔻 WS: Total nonsense.

It’s nothing but a stale variation on the trope that “Russia is a gas-station masquerading as a country.”

The Russia, China, Iran et al. bloc cannot be economically isolated.

But the US et al. are at great risk of economic isolation, erosion, and collapse.
🔻 C23: This isn’t about isolation. There’s a reason opec meets and decides how much oil they will pump. The US is very capable of dramatically increasing the supply of oil on global markets. Gas station or not, if oil drops to 35$ a barrel, Iranian and Russian calculus must needs change
🔻 WS: You don’t know what you’re talking about. The US is NOT “very capable” of controlling the price of oil.

Have you not been paying ANY attention over the past few years? 🤦‍♂️
🔻 C24: Sounds like a good deal, no? No more death… and no need to prolong the suffering. Russians took 500 km in the last 3 weeks. How long before they reach this border’s anyway? And on what price? Aint you tired of dying?
🔻 WS: Very few people understand the object of war, and even fewer are familiar with the Russian art of war.
🔻 C24: And one more thing they didn’t want Odessa before, they probably will negotiate a deal without it now also. The Minsk accord had a deal better than they will get at the current moment.
🔻 WS: You are apparently unaware of the clearly enunciated and often repeated Russian objectives as they have been progressively articulated over the past three years.

All of the most authoritative Russian voices speak in unison: Odessa is Russia; Kharkov is Russia.
🔻 C25: If this is all Russians will receive they might have as well lost the war.
🔻 WS: You mean other than having effectively demilitarized all of European NATO, and severely attrited the US?
🔻 C25: That seems like giving a bit too much. I doubt European NATO will be demilitarized, even thought Trump threatened this.
🔻 WS: European NATO is already demilitarized.

The US/NATO is utterly incapable of launching and sustaining a high-intensity “big war” against Russia. NATO is an empty shell.
🔻 WS: 💥 This post has been met with quite a bit of resistance from certain quarters.

I do confess my map is likely conservative in its scope. It is entirely possible that Russia will eventually push all the way to Zhytomyr and Vinnytsya.
🔻 C26: It is very likely that the control of all Ukrainian nuclear power plants was included among Russia’s war objectives after the last Ukrainian “victory” plan and some of them are further to the west.
🔻 WS: I had not considered that possibility until now. I’ll have to think about it …
🔻 C27: Trump was the first president to arm Ukraine lmao
🔻 WS: That is false. Trump was NOT the first president to arm Ukraine. Obama did before him. And Ukraine was groomed by the Anglo-American empire since the end of WW2 to become #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies to effect the dissolution of Russia.
🔻 C28: I doubt any of that will happen NGL
🔻 WS: Yeah, I doubt Putin will even take Trump’s call.

(How funny would that be? 🤣)
🔻 C29: War in Ukraine will continue as long as the so called American miltary industrial complx makes money.
🔻 WS: No it won’t. It will continue as long as Ukraine can still field equipment, munitions, and men willing to fight.

The American military industrial complex is incapable of sustaining the requirements of a major high-intensity industrial-scale war.
⭕ 🤔 So … what next?

What happens when the Axis of Resistance in Iraq strikes more American bases?

What happens when the Iranians follow through on their promise to strike Israel again?

What happens when the Russians further accelerate their annihilation of the Ukrainian army?
🔻 C1: Leave the bases in Iraq perhaps as requested by the Iraq government for several years.
Tell Israel to stop committing genocide and murdering people in neighbouring countries? Fat chance of that but I can hope.
Tell Zelensky the game is up and to get the best deal he can and leave
🔻 WS: The Iraqis have already demanded that the US leave, as have the Syrians. If they stay, they will continue to be targeted, and the attacks will steadily escalate.
🔻 C2: offer to build a golf course on Khark Island?
[this is Iran’s main oil terminal in the Persian Gulf]
🔻 WS: You mean as a veiled threat? Because, if so, I don’t think that’s gonna work.
🔻 C3: They will think twice now. Trump will put out the fires.
🔻 WS: Nonsense. Trump will make no difference whatsoever to the trajectory of events in the Levant / Persian Gulf region.
🔻 C4: He has a good team. If he can learn to listen…
🔻 WS: What “team” are you talking about?
🔻 C5: I believe that the US is not capable to recognize the shift in global balance of power. In other words, they are still convinced that it is only a question of their will whether they win and who they destroy.
Ergo they will escalate to the brink of nuclear war denying the danger.
🔻 WS: I am convinced there are many in the Pentagon who recognize very clearly that the US is in no position to make big war against Russia, China, or Iran.

Of course, that doesn’t mean their counsel will prevail. Crumbling empires often enter into wars they cannot win.
⭕🔻 C1: People are saying that Trump will abandon Ukraine – this is false.

As @mtracey has shown, Trump has deliberately hidden his extreme pro-war agenda from his own voters, which is why there is barely any record of what his policy actually is towards Ukraine.
🔻 C1: In very rare instances, Trump has admitted that his policy is to flood Ukraine with so much finance and weapons, including placing US nuclear submarines in the Black Sea, that it will force Russia to back down and negotiate.

This is more extreme than Democrat policy.
🔻 WS: It doesn’t matter what Trump may think or say. The US has no weapons left to send, and there are no troops to use them even if they did.

As for US submarines in the Black Sea … that’s just silly talk. It couldn’t be done, and it wouldn’t be attempted.
🔻 C1: I agree it’s nonsensical policy, though I find it fascinating how it’s been hidden from the voter base so as to uphold the illusion that Trump is anti-war.
⭕🔻 C1: This gives me tons of confidence in the basic legal merit of the cases these people were putting together against Trump. |media|

⭕ 🇹🇷 On Turkish Exercises in the Black and Mediterranean Seas

Looking at other countries around the world, the Turks are joining in active training of their armed forces. In early November, Turkish troops launched three exercises in various military branches.

• From November 4 to 11, the Anatolian Eagle Air Force exercise is taking place over central and southern parts of Turkey, aimed at assessing the readiness of aviation to conduct high-intensity conflicts.

F-16 fighters, AWACS aircraft, helicopters and tankers are participating, with tasks including evading strikes, air combat, and precision strikes coordinated with AWACS.

• Simultaneously, the NATO exercise Mavi Balina has begun, aimed at practicing the use of Turkish and NATO naval aviation and ships against maritime threats.

The main focus is on anti-submarine defense, reconnaissance by deploying sonobuoys and sonars, and countering USVs. In addition to Turkey, Canadians, Spaniards, Greeks and Portuguese are participating.

• In the Black Sea, the mine countermeasures exercise Poseidon has started (https://t.me/rusich_army/18236), aimed at coordinating the actions of a new mine countermeasures task force consisting of minesweepers from the navies of Bulgaria, Turkey and Romania.

❗️Interestingly, the start of the exercise coincided with rumors of a planned AFU attack on the “Blue Stream” gas pipeline and related infrastructure. While there are no clear indications of this so far, exercises often serve as good cover for other activities, so we will be watching closely.

The Biden administration has warned the Iraqi government that Israel could attack Baghdad if it does not prevent a planned Iranian attack on its soil, Axios reports. Otherwise, Washington “will not be able to deter Israel from striking Iraq,” U.S. officials have warned Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani.

US and Israeli intelligence sources believe Iran is planning a major attack on Tel Aviv from Iraqi territory in the coming days in response to the recent Israeli strike, and the IRGC has already deployed drones and ballistic missiles to Iraq.

It is still unclear whether the attack is really being prepared from Iraqi territory. The day before, the Iraqi authorities announced that they “will not allow their territory to be used for attacks related to the conflict in the Middle East.”

⭕ President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

See where their loyalty lies.
⭕ 🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance [Hezbollah] regarding the field developments of the ‘Uli al-Bas’ (Battle of the Fierce) war:

The fighters of the Islamic Resistance continue to confront Israeli aggression in Lebanon, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy army in equipment and personnel along the front lines and deep inside occupied Palestine.

1. Land Confrontations:
On October 28, Israeli forces began advancing toward the town of Khiyam with significant numbers and heavy air cover. They positioned themselves in Tal Nahas, Al-Hamams, and Al-Majidiyah Plain.

• The Islamic Resistance fighters executed a defensive fire plan, conducting over 70 targeting operations over three days, with 50 targeting the southern and eastern outskirts of Khiyam. They destroyed 4 tanks using guided missiles, targeting a position in ‘Metula’ that resulted in casualties. A security group in Tal al-Nahhas was also hit.
• One noteworthy operation involved a precision missile salvo targeting enemy soldiers and vehicles in Wadi al-Asafir, using missiles with 250 kg warheads, causing widespread panic and confusion among enemy ranks.

Additional operations targeted:

• Gatherings of forces in ‘Metula’ and surrounding orchards with 11 concentrated rocket salvos.
• A training camp and command headquarters in ‘Ayelet HaShahar,’ missile warehouses in ‘Yesod HaMa’ala,’ and an armored vehicle gathering grounds in Sha’al with 23 missile launches.
• On October 31, 2024, enemy forces were forced to withdraw, utilizing helicopters to evacuate the dead and wounded.
• During an Israeli attempt to advance towards Houla, a battalion-sized column of 40 vehicles was targeted with Kornet anti-tank missiles, destroying bulldozers and inflicting casualties. After retreating, the area was hit with more than 60 missiles in a series of salvos.
• Due to repeated resistance strikes, Israeli forces withdrew from several towns back across the border, with ongoing artillery and air operations in areas like Aita al-Shaab, Ramia, and Khiyam. Attempts to besiege Naqoura were met with missile counterattacks.

2. Qualitative ‘Khaybar’ Operations: Despite Israeli Air Force activity, the resistance intensified operations under the ‘Khaybar’ series, targeting strategic centers 145 km deep inside Israel using missiles and drones.

• Since launching on October 1, there have been 56 operations in the ‘Khaybar’ series, including 18 in the past week.
• More than 2 million settlers in an area exceeding 5,000 km² were forced into shelters, disrupting daily life with each operation.

3. Confirmation from the Islamic Resistance Operations Room: The ‘Khaybar’ operations are escalating effectively, with high management ensuring all goals are met.

• Settlements warned for evacuation are now military targets, housing command centers and artillery positions.
• The only achievement of the Israeli army in their ground maneuver has been the destruction of civilian infrastructure.
• Recent weeks have shown that resistance formations have organized effectively, leading to increased missile and drone attacks, reaching targets as far as Tel Aviv.
• Fighters on the southern border have successfully halted Israeli advances, preventing them from moving beyond the borders of frontline villages or approaching the course of the Litani River.

‘Who wins the election in America is of no concern to us, we simply do not care at all. Our policies regarding the West remain the same, whether this guy (Biden) or that guy (Trump) is in power. Our careful stance is based on their active hostility towards us.

America is a corrupt war-mongering nation. They say one thing, and they do another. You see what they did in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and how the maffia bosses of their military-industrial complex forced the Ukrainians into a war against Russia which cannot be won. And now they support the Zionist regime, as always, with no limits to supporting their war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Dealing with any country, whether West or East, must be done based on the principles of mutual respect and respecting each other’s sovereignity. These principles do not exist in the United States. This fool (Trump) says he wants good relations with Iran, but he was the one who shamelessly murdered Martyr General Soleimani, contrary to international law, and pulled out of the Nuclear Deal.
⭕ The Knesset passed a law that gives the Minister of the Interior the authority to expel relatives of perpetrators of ‘ terrorist operations’ by Palestinians with Israeli citizenships for twenty years, if they knew about the operation before and did not prevent it.

⭕ China has been expecting the return of the Trump puppet, and is ready for the next scenario of 360° war escalations. From a trade war to a war in the Asia-Pacific after the destruction of oil and gas facilities in Iran, all the scenarios projected by Washington and now facilitated are on the table.
⭕ Washington’s current secondary objective is to achieve the final destruction of Russia as a nation-state, breaking it up into 30 or so Bantustans, which will have to be played off against each other in order to seize the country’s mineral and energy wealth. This is the imperative condition for launching the final struggle against China.

⭕ A full summary of resistance activities today [Nov 08], mapped. I have mapped all factions today, instead of just Hezbollah.

In the north, fighting has continued around the Kfarkela (Kila) axis, where Hezbollah ambushed and destroyed an IOF military bulldozer and APC as they approached Sari hill, which overlooks the town to the northwest. This is the second ambush in the past few days in this area, and the presence of IOF bulldozers means it is not yet clear of Hezbollah fortifications.

Although the Zionists claim to have captured the town, this means very little when facing guerrillas like Hezbollah, who trade land to save people in the classic sense. When powerful Zionist forces come, they are perfectly willing to retreat into their tunnels and let them “capture” the town, only to re-emerge to ambush the IOF at their leisure. This seems to be exactly what is happening here. I suspect we will see and hear more about this attack in the coming days.

Several Zionist air bases were also targeted today. Hezbollah fired ballistics at Ramat David and Tel Nof, while the Yemeni armed forces targeted Nevatim. Ramat David was hit directly, Nevatim was likely intercepted and the fate of Tel Nof is unclear.

Once again, attacks were launched at the Stella Maris Naval Base, which houses IOF ELINT and EW equipment. Smoke was seen in the area, although little else is known.

Adding to this, and not on the map, the Iraqi resistance announced that they targeted unnamed targets in both the north and south of occupied Palestine with suicide drones. One target was attacked three times. It is unknown what was targeted and if it was hit.

There is continued fighting in both Gaza and the West Bank. In Gaza, Zionist forces came under shelling on several occasions and a Merkava tank was destroyed via IED. In the West Bank, several IED attacks were carried out, along with an ambush of settler militias who had been firing into Palestinian settlements.

All in all, a busy and productive day for the resistance.

Trump/Vance just like their opponents told the American people the forever wars will continue without interruption – the American people simply only heard what they wanted to hear.

This “America First Policy Institute” vows to “hold China accountable for its aggression against its neighbors, lack of transparency, and other actions,” which means a continuation of the Obama “Pivot to Asia” and all the provocations and encroachment that took place during the Biden-Harris administration.

The only reason Trump/Vance are talking about withdrawing from Ukraine (sort of) is because the US is losing there and requires all available resources to start a much larger conflict with China.

🔻 C5: The MIC will content themselves with the business of trying to deal with Iran. Ukraine will be resolved soon and hopefully in the context of a comprehensive reset stretching from San Francisco to Vladivostok.

The issue is not solely Iran. The issue is; how does the US contain its long-term peer competitor, China. And China’s weakness is the same as Japan’s in WW2 – oil. Hence, isolating and economically crushing Iran is paramount from the broader strategic perspective. Allowing China to embed in the ME as it builds out its naval capacity is not something I would imagine any US planner would condone.

I put money the ME, Saudis etc, will over time rally around Trump, resuscitating the Abraham Accords, resolving the current conflict, and isolating Iran again. Their priority is also their own safety.

Also, not too late for the US to draw Russia into the Western sphere, but it will take something profoundly compelling and legally binding. Huge and disgraceful damage has been done.
[LOL! The aching Hope of nazis does indeed die last]
🔻 WS: I understand the basis of your thoughtful comments. Similar views are held by many other thoughtful people.

And I am convinced they are naïve and undiscerning.

It is long-since too late for any of your envisioned remedies to produce an effect.

Iran cannot be destroyed. The US can only destroy itself in such a war.

China cannot be “contained” — and the whole notion of doing so is fallaciously conceived.

And, of course, the Russians are strengthening in crescendo.

Collaborating together, a Russia / China / Iran axis cannot be defeated by the Anglo-American empire and its impotent vassals.

The US has only one logical course of action that doesn’t entail multiple disasters: relinquish empire, find ways to deal on an equal basis with the other powerful nations of the earth, and learn how to sing in a polyphonic world.
🔻 C5: I see your point and don’t entirely disagree. The crescendo of the strategic moment is imminent.

But for me the critical issue is whether Saudi Arabia truly wants to ‘align’ with Iran (which I doubt) or whether it is sufficiently confident of a sea-change in the long-term strategic disposition of the United States – what the precisely that sea-change would entail is critical, as is their belief that it is indeed long-term, i.e., embedded in the MIC/Intel establishment in Washington; independent of Trump. This same critical issue applies to Russia – can they be absolutely assured of a change of US disposition and what exactly would that entail? I don’t throw that out lightly – the last thing anyone could expect from Washington at this stage is ‘word of honour’. So something substantial and serious will have to be put on the table to rescue the situation.

As regards China, they are in the same position as Japan prior to WW2 – devoid of oil resources and entirely dependent on them. To that extent, it must surely be a priority for the US, almost regardless of cost, to prevent China from securing a ‘beachhead’ in the ME. They are still in a position to do so, but not for long. The Saudis provide the US with the bridge back to that energy chokehold over China, so IMO watch for overtures both with regard to boxing in China and securing peace re Israel.

(As an aside, my thinking, perhaps naively, was that the Chinese were aiming for a land route through Pakistan to Iran and the ME in lieu of a sufficently large navy to take on the US – carrier killer missiles notwithstanding?)

BRICS is an expression of a 100% justifiable loss of faith in the US led international ‘order’ as a consequence of betrayals, CIA-led coups, wholesale and utterly destructive arrogance after the collapse of the USSR and serial reckless military actions, with horrendous consequences for multiple countries. Enough!

The question is does the US under Trump understand this? If so, what can it offer to assure the growing ranks of potential adversaries that it has learned its lesson and can offer gold-standard stability?

I also think that it is perfectly possible to come to an arrangement with China – if Taiwan didn’t produce something like 90% of the world’s semi-conductors that arrangment would already have been made; the issue is semi-conductor technology and production. So let’s address the real issue. Oil for chips?!

On the positive side, if Trump is appropriately advised I do believe a rapproachment is possible with both Russia and China. Iran is a different matter, but in the face of a refreshed and united ME/US position they could be contained at worst, and at best, with assurances re Israel’s existence, perhaps there is actually a path for prosperity and peace for all.
[I wanna have this guy’s Koolaid. It is most miraculous in immediately shunting one down the Rabbit Hole into Alternative Dimensions and States of Being. No need for drugs or zionazi Hate at all.]
🔻 WS: I see several misconceptions and anachronistic assumptions in your arguments, but I will only mention one:

There is no valid comparison between China in 2024 and pre-WW2 Japan.

China produces more barrels of oil per day than Iran; a little less than Iraq. And China has many more friendly oil-rich trading partners than those in the Persian Gulf.
[Exactly. What of Russia, busy like beavers redirecting European gas and oil to the Celestial Empire?? Or China’s booming nuclear power plants? And solar, and and and]
🔻 C5: Leaving aside other issues and not doubting your expertise on this matter, allow me to quibble a bit;

Chinese domestic production is 3.8 million BPD.
Consumption is 16.5 million BPD.

In order to survive a potential war with the US/West (for whatever that is worth under the worst possible cirumstances) the Chinese would have to have geographically proximate supply lines – Indonesia produces far less than China (1 mpd) and beyond that there are no major oil producers until you arrive at the Persian Gulf. Outside of that they might access Russian supply from the far east/Siberia but even that is far from logistically feasible, at scale, being 2000+ km distant over land, without infrastructure to transport – even though it may now be under construction.

I honestly think the reason the Chinese are quietly disposed on the international front is because they are aware of two fundamental strategic weaknesses 1) no navy yet capable of countering US dominance and 2) no capacity to stop an energy stranglehold on their economy. These two issues are strategically debilitating.
[the Doomed are still fighting world war II paradigms! What did Yemen teach them about the US Navy and “US dominance and capacities for “energy stranglehold”?? I suppose if one’s head is studiously buried in the sand following one-track scripts, one’s ass is waving in the air…]
🔻 WS: And … finally the card gets played.

I don’t believe you appreciate the degree to which all of your secondary conclusions are dependent on the false assumption that the US military — and the US Navy in particular — are capable of effecting a credible and protracted energy blockade of Persian Gulf oil deliveries to China.

As I have long argued on this platform and on my blog, if the US ever attempts to do so, it would mean war against China, Russia, and Iran combined — with many friendly smaller nations assisting according to their capability.

In a big war against China, Russia, and Iran, the US Navy would be dealt an unprecedented tactical and strategic defeat. It would be almost immediately demonstrated that the supercarrier is an obsolete relic of a bygone era, and that virtually all legacy surface warships are fat targets for asymmetric means of firepower.

Any blockade, of necessity, would be fought in littoral waters, where the vulnerabilities of the US naval force would be most effectively exploited.

I repeat: I am convinced the US could NOT impose a meaningful energy blockade of China. The US Navy had to run away from the Yemeni’s modest firepower! What do you think would happen against the Iranians, Russians, and Chinese?
📜 All for One and One for All
🔻 C5: I believe one of the key presumptions here is that Russia, China and Iran would in combination present a naval threat … Russia cannot exert a naval presence in the Persian Gulf, neither can China and Iran is limited to gun boats.

The issue of ‘carrier-killer’ missiles is clearly real and relevant but the assertion that the US would have to operate in littoral waters is IMO not correct. They could operate 100s of miles offshore and still effect a blockade, using their own stand-off missile capabilities from a safe distance.

I agree they cannot operate within range of relevant missiles and I fully agree the power dynamic has seriously shifted, very seriously, but blockades have always been ‘out of range’ propositions. The British never parked their warships in range of shore batteries but they corralled many a navy and strangled many an economy.

It’s a long, long way from the Persian Gulf to China and there is still only one navy dominating those waters – at least for the moment.

But, better to reach an accord and I do think and hope that’s possible.
[The copium is thicker than the air in the British-built opium den! Do not the supranational nazis understand these predictable moves were long assessed and countered?? As Gaza is not permitted to be savaged in isolation, so the planned stranglehold on China. Why are four ASEAN members suddenly inside BRICS as partners? and the Pakistanis, even Saudis, Indians and most others en route to China have been holding group naval exercises with China and Russia and Iran? Dolts!]
🔻 C6: Mr Schryver, I fully agree with your assessment regarding USN surface elements. But it also has a world-class underwater element that can be utilized. THAT submarine force and not the imposing but vulnerable supercarriers mean the real USAn threat for Chinese maritime trade.
🔻 WS: Are you unaware of the submarine forces the US would face in the context of a war against Russia and China?

Are you unaware of the derelict state of a good portion of both the US surface warship fleet AND its submarines?

If not, you should be.
[indeed. And note most recent Russo-Chinese-Iranian drills focused on anti-submarine warfare, including with the other country flanking Hormuz, Oman]
🔻 C7: Lol even though China is “devoid of oil”, they are finding ways to get around it.
🔻 C5: In an actual conflict that would change overnight.
🔻 WS: There is no logical basis for this conclusion. It is demonstrably false.

The US does not have the material and logistical wherewithal to impose any sort of meaningful energy blockade of China. It could not be done.
🔻 C8: Without easy access to US markets China’s economy would collapse.
[LOL! Thanks to Obama declaring intent, and Trump’s first term, guess what China has done in response in last decade??]
🔻 WS: Ignorant nonsense.

Less than 5% of Chinese GDP is from exports to the US.
🔻 C9: 3%, these days.
🔻 Victor the Cleaner: The US could simply destroy the Iranian and Saudi ports.
[this WILL happen, but per traditional imperial ploy, they will work for attribution to Iran and/or Zion]
🔻 WS: Not without catastrophic consequences, they couldn’t — consequences both military and economic; consequences that would extend FAR beyond the Persian Gulf.
🔻 Victor the Cleaner: Which ones?
🔻 WS: If, for example, the US bombed Kharg, every US base in the Levant and Persian Gulf would be systematically destroyed.

It would mean war.

And Russia and China would support Iran militarily.
🔻Victor the Cleaner: That’s right. But Kharg would be gone, and China have a problem.

🔻 C12: $200 wti would collapse the world economy.
🔻 C13: US are net oil and gas exporter. They supply their own country at the old price, stop the exports. Everyone else is f*cked.
🔻 WS: The US must import massive quantities of foreign oil to produce diesel and gasoline, because US grades must be blended with heavier grades to refine the products they need.
🔻 C14: Global oil is largely fungible. IOW, if you blow up Iranian oil, Americans will end up paying more for energy one way or another, and likely suffer major precision attacks in the Middle East. Maybe even have a carrier sunk.

It’s lose-lose. Nothing to be gained.
🔻 Victor the Cleaner: America will not hesitate to enact trade and capital controls. What did they do in 1933? 1971?
🔻 WS: The global power equation of 100 years ago and 50 years ago bears no resemblance to that of today.

American trade and capital controls are self-defeating measures, and cannot meaningfully harm the countries the US regards as its enemies.
⭕🔻 Glenn Diesen: My participation at Valdai
🔻 WS: I was very pleased to see you seated prominently there.

I have read the portion of Putin’s remarks translated so far on the Kremlin website. My impression is that it is one of the most powerful and important speeches he has ever delivered.
⭕ 🔥 Putin in Peak Form

I have yet to read the full transcript of Putin’s epic remarks at the Valdai plenary session. But the Thang Man is providing us with an excellent selection of excerpts. This one is particularly noteworthy.

Putin is without peer on the world stage.
🔻 Sony Thang: 🇷🇺VLADIMIR PUTIN:

“We have consistently underscored the diversity of the world as a prerequisite for its sustainability.

It may appear paradoxical, as greater diversity complicates the construction of a unified narrative.

Naturally, universal norms are presumed to aid in this regard. Can they fulfil this role?

It stands to reason that this is a formidable and complicated task.

Firstly, we must avoid a scenario where the model of one country or a relatively minute segment of humanity is presumed universal and imposed upon others.

Secondly, it is untenable to adopt any conventional, albeit democratically developed code, and dictate it as an infallible truth to others in perpetuity.

The international community is a living entity, with its civilisational diversity making it unique and presenting an inherent value.

International law is a product of agreements not even between countries, but between nations, because legal consciousness is an integral part of every unique culture and every civilisation.

The crisis of international law, which is the subject of broad public discussion today, is, in a sense, a crisis of growth.

The rise of nations and cultures that have previously remained on the periphery of global politics for one reason or another means that their own distinct ideas of law and justice are playing an increasingly important role.

They are diverse. This may give the impression of discord and perhaps cacophony, but this is only the initial phase.

It is my deep conviction that the only new international system possible is one embracing polyphony, where many tones and many musical themes are sounded together to form harmony.

If you like, we are moving towards a world system that is going to be polyphonic rather than polycentric, one in which all voices are heard and, most importantly, absolutely must be heard.

Those who are used to soloing and want to keep it that way will have to get used to the new ‘scores’ now.

Have I mentioned post-WWII international law?

This international law is based on the UN Charter, which was written by the victorious countries.

But the world is changing – with new centres of power emerging, and powerful economies growing and coming to the forefront.

That predictably calls for a change in the legal regulation as well.

Of course, this must be done carefully, but it is inevitable.

Law reflects life, not vice versa.”
🔻 C2: Imagine an American President speaking like this…

I mean the deep thinking process, manifestation of complex interconnecting ideas and views and delivery via elegant articulation 😳
🔻 C3: Yes, he’s highly intelligent and speaks with a sophistication that makes most American leaders look mentally challenged. He’s also an authoritarian monster who stands rejects the founding principles of America, namely the primacy of individual rights in society.

It’s rational to recognize his intelligence, it’s completely irrational for any American to translate that into general admiration.
🔻 WS: I can’t imagine what it must be like to live life in the perpetual shadowed haze of evil monster stories.
🔻 C3: Putin does not respect or care about individual rights or capitalism. You’re free to support him, but he is an authoritarian leader. At least admit that’s what you like.

And yes, I know the US government does bad stuff too (like couping ukraine and provoking the war).
🔻 WS: You are misinformed. But believe what you will.

These facts remain:

– Russia is the immovable object.
– Putin is exceedingly popular in Russia and throughout the world. The man makes a well-reasoned and highly persuasive argument.

It was great folly to make Russia an enemy.
🔻 C4: Seems the Russia demonizers are projecting hard. The US (we) have so much to account for. Incredible that we still stand at the door and point the finger at the street, without sweeping our own doorstep.
⭕🔻 C1: After 38 days of full-scale war, Israeli forces currently occupy an estimated 83.02km² of Lebanese territory.

This gives us an average advance of 2.18km² per day.
🔻 Armchair Warlord: For context, this Israeli offensive has been less successful to date than the “Hundred Days” – Ukraine’s doomed 2023 offensive in Zaporozhie.

This despite near-total armor, fire, and air superiority.
🔻 WS: The IDF has been revealed as a pale shadow of what was believed to be one of the most capable and disciplined armies on the planet.

The Israeli army’s tools and doctrine are largely anachronistic and demonstrably inadequate to the realities of a 21st century urban battlefield.
⭕ 🤦‍♂️ #SillyTalk

The simple fact of the matter is that the US lacks the material and logistical wherewithal sufficient to even PRETEND to undertake such an endeavor.

And no amount of money can make it otherwise.

It simply cannot be done.

⭕ If they persuade themselves they really do have enough “war capacity” to take on Iran, they will soon discover themselves with much less “war capacity” than they had previously imagined.

Iran is not alone.
⭕🔻 C1: While we been fiddle f**king around in endless wars around the world – we have been ignoring the real war in our own backyard. Sitting idle while watching American bodies stacking up and our cities being destroyed. This is the only conflict I can get behind right now.

They have been killing our youth, trafficking humans, all while facilitating the invasion. The cartels must be destroyed. If we had put a fraction of the effort which we expended trying to destroy the Russian economy into stopping the cartels – so many American lives would have been saved. Neocons are the worst. AMERICA FIRST
🔻 WS: Yeah, the “inflict a strategic defeat on Russia” gambit didn’t pan out.

And yes, there is an increasingly predatory invasion of the United States taking place …

Price quotations for all commodities in the index, except meat, rose, with vegetable oils recording the largest increase at 7.3 percent. Compared to historical levels, the FFPI in October was 5.5 percent higher than its corresponding value a year ago but remained 20.5 percent below its peak of 160.2 points reached in March 2022,” FAO stated.

• Vegetable oils surged 7.3% due to supply concerns from major producers;
• Sugar rose 2.6% due to drought in Brazil and increased ethanol demand;
• Dairy prices climbed 1.9% on higher cheese and butter prices, but skim milk powder declined;
• Grains rose 0.8% on strong Brazilian demand, while rice dropped 5.6%:
• Meat prices fell slightly, with pork declining the most due to increased supply.

The Food Price Index is published monthly by FAO and consists of the average of five commodity group price indices – cereal, vegetable oil, dairy, meat and sugar.

⭕ A summary of all resistance operations in Occupied Palestine and Lebanon today, November 9th, 2024. Hezbollah reported 27 military operations today, the rest of the resistance contributed 5.

Heavy fighting continues around the Maroun-e-Ras area of Southern Lebanon, despite IOF claims of total control of the village. Their forces were targeted twice on the southeast outskirts of the town, near the “Iranian Gardens” where they had previously raised their flag.

The IOFs exact zone of control in and around the town is uncertain both due to reasons of military secrecy and the nature of guerrilla warfare; Hamas often retreats into their tunnels when faced with overwhelming enemy force, and returns when it’s gone.

Hezbollah’s air defense troops shot down a Zionist Hermes-450 drone near Deir Siryan, Lebanon.

These are armed drones, the same type which carried out the deadly attack on World Central Kitchen staff in Gaza. Each Hermes-450 costs around $2 million, and the Zionists operate only one squadron of them. The unit cost of a Russian Igla anti-air missile is only $60,000.

Hezbollah also targeted the Haifa Technical base (which trains air force technicians) and the Melaam military factory near Tel Aviv with ballistic missiles. Melaam is 132km from the border, indicating that Hezbollah can strike at the heart of the Zionist entity.

There was also a drone attack on the “Ein Hozlot” communications base near the Sea of Galilee. The base was directly hit. The Iraqi resistance also attacked two unnamed targets in the North and South of occupied Palestine.

It’s totally normal in healthy republics for the armed forces to start discussing political interventions after elections. Honest.

(this is sarcasm)

For better or worse, however, the United States military has actually been subject to a remarkable amount of “coup-proofing.”⬇️

So what is “coup-proofing,” exactly? Well, it’s the measures that civilian governments fearful of their own soldiers take to ensure those soldiers don’t decide to take Mao’s maxim about power to heart when they catch wind of budget cuts. If political power truly comes out of the barrel of a gun, well, the army has a lot of guns. Do the math.

A coup d’etat in its rawest form is a forceful military seizure of power from a “civilian” government. Generally some ambitious general or colonel will form a network of well-placed conspirators within the military who will then activate a select group of troops to march on and seize the national capital and arrest or kill the old regime before declaring a new one with him at its head.

There are three main means to ensure this doesn’t happen.

The first is by breaking up unity of command at the high levels of the military. If the generals are split into a dozen warring factions, none of whom has real authority to mobilize troops – or at least a large number of them – without the involvement of the civil government, all the better.

The second is through the creation of trusted regime guard troops, whose loyalty can be counted upon without question. If some divisional commander in the hinterlands does decide to march on the capital, he will be confronted and defeated by this elite corps. Of course there’s always the danger the praetorians will decide to play kingmaker themselves, but their loyalty can be assured in a number of ways – such as giving command to trusted family members, or recruiting them from the regime’s favored ethnic groups or even foreign mercenaries.

The third is to purge the officer corps. Simply getting rid of the political dissidents, free-thinkers, and overly ambitious among the ranks may lead to a loss of combat performance, but a general staff packed full of stupid yes-men can be counted upon to stay on the right side of politics. And as every tinpot dictator knows, that’s the important thing.

What if I told you the United States has done all three of these?

As much as the US military preaches unity of command, it does not follow it at the strategic scale. The top level of the US military’s organizational chart is a tangled swamp of competing services, combatant commands, and Pentagon departments. Command of the armed forces only unifies at the level of the – civilian – Secretary of Defense. Let’s just walk through this.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff are an advisory body. They have no command authority. Ditto for the service chiefs – the US Army hasn’t had a Commanding General since 1903, but rather a Chief of Staff with no command authority as its senior officer. US Army Forces Command – which most Army units ultimately answer to in garrison – is a force generation pump with no operational authority.

There are of course unified combatant commands that can task out US combat troops, once they have been assigned by the “force providers” in the homeland – all eleven of them, six geographic and five functional. They fight each other endlessly over resources. And far and away the weakest, by the way, is NORTHCOM – the one actually tasked with actually defending North America. NORTHCOM never has significant ground combat forces assigned to it.

Ergo, a would-be American putschist would not only face great difficulty subverting a sufficiently large or well-positioned bloc of the US military to actually execute a coup, but any rebel force that could be assembled would likely be “incomplete” and lacking the joint enablers necessary for success in modern war.

Coming to my second point, there is, however, an exception to this rule. That exception is the United States Marine Corps.

The USMC not only has a Commandant rather than a Chief of Staff, but has such an insular organizational culture that they could be expected to follow the Commandant’s orders regardless of his position or lack thereof in their formal chain of command. They are the only service that owns an entire joint warfighting apparatus – air, sea, and land. They have a garrison with combat troops in the heart of Washington, DC, and a major base – Camp Lejeune – a day’s march from the capital. They stand guard at the White House, they transport the President, they secure the embassies, and they have troops stationed on all major USN warships.

The Marines consider themselves to be elite troops with unique capabilities and competencies. This is largely nonsense (there weren’t a lot of them on Omaha Beach, lol), but they certainly are institutionally privileged. Bluntly, they have every quality of a regime protection force – and they have grown rapidly and in parallel with the growth of a large, standing US Army in the 20th century, persisting as a large, separate, all-arms service despite there being no publicly articulable need for such a thing.

Coming around to my last point, the US military does not select for brilliance and ambition at the high end. It by and large selects careerists who can say the right thing and look the right way and run really, really fast. It’s a well-known truism that being a free thinker in uniform, let alone a dissident, is a one-way street to civilian life. Our corps of general officers has accordingly distinguished themselves only in the quantity of stone-cold takes they’ve generated on contemporary conflicts. And while the brain trust at the Pentagon is clearly not up to the task of figuring out how to kick the Russians out of Ukraine, they have enthusiastically implemented every last order and directive emanating from the Biden Administration.

This last bit would seem to be somewhat contradictory, as there are certain to be plenty of paraliberal hacks in uniform dead-set on opposing President-elect Trump, but it’s really not. The point of purging and indoctrinating the officer corps is to ensure loyalty to the Regime, and Trump is not part of the entrenched political establishment that functionally serves as a regime in this country. He is an outsider. Ergo, he will face – and has faced – a level of institutional resistance from the armed forces that no President with Establishment credentials, Republican or Democrat, ever would. This is in and of itself part of the coup-proofing mechanism – the military behaving in an insubordinate manner to a President the political establishment (read: the Regime) found objectionable.

I submit that all of this is wasteful, paranoid, and – most troublingly – undemocratic, given the clear existence of a political elite that feels entitled to a perpetual lease on power in this country, and which has worked to both secure themselves from the US military and to bend that very same force against their own political foes. I’ll leave you with a quote. “Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

☝️ one of most dangerous men alive. Jordan is among the strategic depth of Zion, why the Beast has lasted so long, and thereby among causes of Armageddon. Can u feel his despair??? These criminals have gambled all and lost. Even now they pray they can outlast the collapse of Zionism. But their fates are linked. Once the West is killed by the civilizational-states, and the ammo and ISR and mercs dry up for Zion, they are equally for decorating lampposts and trees.

⭕ A summary of all resistance operations from today, November 10th. Hezbollah carried out 27 operations today, along with 12 from the other resistance factions, for a total of 39.

In the north, fighting continues along the same frontlines. Once again, there were clashes in Kfarkela (Kila), where Hezbollah anti-tank teams destroyed an IOF bulldozer which was breaching the border wall, then fired on an enemy fortification with ATGMs. After repelling the bulldozer, Hezbollah shelled the retreating infantry.

The Gaza resistance inflicted a heavy toll on the Zionists today. North of Beit Lahia, an al-Qassam commando unit ambushed and destroyed an IOF infantry platoon of 15 soldiers. The Zionists were ambushed with a salvo of RPG rockets, then attacked at close range with machine guns and hand grenades. According to al-Qassam, the entire IOF unit was wiped out.

Al-Qassam also destroyed two “Namer” APCs and a military bulldozer in the Jabalia camp.

All in all, a busy and productive day for the resistance!

⭕ ⚡️| 🇮🇷 IRGC General Asadi — Former commander of Iran’s advisory forces in Syria:

The general says that during True Promise-1 [Apr 13-14], the enemy deployed 3 thick defensive layers against us. In Iraq, in Jordan and inside the occupied territories. In other words, they had deployed all their might to defend Israel against Iran’s attack.

The enemy estimated that not a single Iranian missile would impact inside the occupied territories.

General Asadi then says that the number of Iranian missiles Iran expected to impact did not impact, as the enemy air defenses was really strong. He continues by saying that this changed during operation True Promise-2 [Oct 01].

He concluded by saying that without being able to explain, operation True Promise-3 will be certainly extraordinary.

⭕ 🤦‍♂️ Trump Talks Big

WaPo reports that Trump called Putin, commanded him not to escalate the war in Ukraine, and pointed to the Pentagon’s toys in Europe — an array of military power which, in the context of this war, is almost negligible.

US foreign policy is a clown show.
🔻 C1: Maybe just asking Putin to not make him look bad as he takes office as a courtesy?
🔻 WS: Putin’s Russia will continue to pursue the objectives of their “special military operation” at whatever speed, and in whatever ways they choose.

Trump has no play here. The US has no play here. The Russians are in a superior position and will ultimately dictate terms.
🔻 C2: Taking reports from WaPo too seriously is likely a bad idea., even if it does reinforce your opinions.
🔻 WS: So are contrary sources denying the WaPo’s reporting?
🔻 C3: Why would they? WaPo doing Fake News again. Citing “people”, referring to Thu, Nov 7.
Lo and behold—on that Thursday Putin held a 4-hr presser in Sochi at Valdai forum; Kremlin readout ✅; No news of Trump on the phone; and where is TASS’ report? Wouldn’t they inform their own?
🔻 C4: @imetatronink – a more accurate recount of the phone call.
[he quotes🔻Samuel Ramani: BREAKING: President-elect Donald Trump tells Vladimir Putin to avoid escalation in Ukraine]
🔻 WS: Sam Ramani is one of the few voices on this planet that can make the Washington Post appear credible by comparison.
🔻 C5: he needs to talk tough for his fans… another variation of ‘The Imaginary War’ as you termed it.
🔻 WS: Maybe so, but the Russians will pay it no mind, and do as they please.
🔻 C6: Is the proposal to have a demilitarized zone in Ukraine patrolled by European forces practical in any way?
🔻 WS: It’s utterly ridiculous. It will never happen. Not in our lifetime, nor in that of our children’s children’s children.
🔻 C7: Tucker interview with Elbridge Colby was great. He was spot on that because of US de industrialization we cannot conduct a war against a peer adversary as we do not have the industrial capacity. US Strategic retrenchment & re industrialization or were toast .
🔻 WS: I didn’t know Carlson had interviewed Colby.

I’ve read Colby for many years. I have interacted with him on occasion.

I have also been a relentless critic of him at least since the start of the Ukraine War.

Bridge Colby refuses to realize that, for the empire, the jig is up.
🔻 C8: timing of the interview is suspicious. Is Tucker or his handlers trying to install Colby in the new admin?
🔻 WS: I hope Elbridge Colby realizes his fondest aspirations, and lands a meaningful role in the formulation of US foreign policy.

I want all my criticisms of his #EmpireAtAllCosts dogma to be vindicated by subsequent events in which his face and name feature prominently.
🔻 C9: Can this lead to a unexpected new level of conflict? Putin ignores Trump’s bluf which lead Trumps to make a serious commitment towards the war effort he didn’t plan to since his “deal making” is now in question. I wish Russia can wrap this up quick but…
🔻 WS: The US/NATO literally has no material means to make war against Russia in eastern Europe. Anyone who believes otherwise is hopelessly delusional.
🔻 C10: I think he’s saying to Tucker (and I have watched only 41:23 of 1:09:07 interview) that the U.S. needs to reindustrialize, which seems to be the mantra right now on the Trump side.

Even Mearsheimer now is saying we can’t prevent China’s rise. But he does expect a hot war in the Pacific as the U.S. tries to thwart China.
🔻 WS: I’ve no doubt Colby is now spouting whatever talking points he is convinced will most effectively serve his objective to land a meaningful role in shaping US foreign policy.

Colby must be assessed on his entire body of work, of which ~75% is correct, and the rest fatally flawed.
⭕ 💥 This post has been met with quite a bit of resistance from certain quarters.

I do confess my map is likely conservative in its scope. It is entirely possible that Russia will eventually push all the way to Zhytomyr and Vinnytsya.
[continuation of earlier thread on “How the Ukraine War Ends”]
🔻 C1: I listened to Scott Ritter today.
He said Russia currently doesn’t want to take Odesa and it does not have currently the appropriate force numbers/readiness to move on to Odesa.
He said he doesn’t see Russian leadership thinking ‘Odesa must belong to us’

I wondered what you thought….
🔻 WS: I have consistently said I believe Odessa will be reassimilated into Russia more or less “without a fight”.

I adamantly disagree with Ritter’s view that the Russians are not firm on the question of Odessa being Russia.

Odessa to the Danube is a Russian strategic imperative.

⭕ 🔻 C1: 🤡🏁👉🇺🇸 “If Trump surrenders Ukraine to Putin, I will personally expel the United States from the alliance” — NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

🤣🤣🤣 read the small letters Markie, you can’t. NATO doesn’t have that provision, and you have no power what so ever besides reacting to the puppeteer with his arm up your butt😎

Almost everything in this statement is curious, including, of course, Rutte’s tone towards Trump. But most of all, it is curious how this story can develop.

First of all, it is worth remembering that the United States is the largest financial and military donor country to Ukraine.

Most likely, the EU will not be able to support Ukraine alone. Rutte’s statement can be interpreted in different ways, but in simple terms, now the EU and NATO countries are very worried that the United States will finish its project in Ukraine, and all debts, destruction and problems will be pinned on Europe, which, by the way, is not far from the truth.

Discontent has been growing within NATO for a long time that the most technologically advanced and most profitable arms contracts are going to the United States.

Rutte’s statement should be perceived more as a naive attempt to intimidate a senior partner, but here NATO actually finds itself in Zelensky’s situation. They can only demand, make noise, threaten and throw tantrums, but they are no longer able to decide something on their own.
🔻 WS: I repeat:

The proximate downstream consequence of the war in Ukraine will be the cessation of NATO as a credible military / political alliance, and also the cessation of the EU as a credible monetary / political “union”.
🔻 C2: Where is the video or press release Rutte said this?
🔻 WS: It’s obviously a caricature, and entirely irrelevant to my comment:

The proximate downstream consequence of the war in Ukraine will be the cessation of NATO as a credible military / political alliance, and also the cessation of the EU as a credible monetary / political “union”.
🔻 C2: You’re correct, my reply wasn’t addressing your prediction.
Regarding the Rutte rumor, it’s being bandied about as genuine. I commented from that POV.

As to your prediction, I’ve read it before and agree. However, while the seeds have been planted, its fruition may take decades
🔻 WS: I would argue it is already a fait accompli.

NATO has been revealed as a clownish empty shell entirely incapable of prosecuting high-intensity industrial-scale warfare against its multiple potent adversaries.
🔻 C2: I agree. W/o a drastic change it is fait accompli. Ukr war exposed NATO’s poor troop levels, military industry, modern weapon quality as well as how much NATO relies on the US (US debt & poor leadership is weakening all things US). It’s the timing of the demise I’m uncertain of
🔻 C3: Credible to who?
🔻 WS: Whom.

Everyone that matters, all around the world.
⭕ ‼️ Important Reality

The Russians have rapidly learned to counter every single US/NATO weapons system used against them in Ukraine.

The US/NATO have literally taught Russia how to defeat a large proportion of their “top shelf” weaponry.

⭕ Retweet:
This is a great example of how phony the anti-war schtick in the Trump faction is. Elbridge Colby’s whole career is about saying the US needs to end its warmongering against Russia in order to prepare for war with China. He’s not anti-war, he just wants a different war. |media|
🔻 C1: I agree with you to some extent. I also think that we make progress by making coalitions, and we have to be open. Sometimes, the only option to stop the war that is currently happening is to work with someone who wants a different war.
🔻 Caitlin: And when it comes time for that new war and you’ve spent your time nullifying public opposition to it by supporting those who’ve been pushing for it?
🔻 C2: No one is going to war with China.
🔻 Caitlin: They shouldn’t be. It’s completely irrational for them to be. And yet all the facts in evidence say that’s exactly where things are headed. |media|
