      ⭕ 🇺🇳 US-led Gaza plan raises serious concerns – Russia’s UN envoy

      • Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia outlined Moscow’s position following the adoption of the US-sponsored resolution on Gaza.
      • 🔹 Implementation “falls entirely on its authors”
      • “The implementation of President Donald Trump’s plan falls entirely on its authors and supporters.”
        Nebenzia said the US must demonstrate its peacekeeping potential and ensure a settlement consistent with international law, including 1967 borders and Jerusalem as capital of both states.
      • 🔹 Russia did not submit its alternative draft
      • “We decided not to submit our own draft.”
        He said Moscow took note of the positions of Ramallah and several Arab states, and that Russia’s text aimed to align the concept with agreed UN resolutions.
      • 🔹 Stabilization forces risk becoming a party to the conflict
      • “The resolution gives the mission peace-binding tasks which may turn it into a party to the conflict.”
      • 🔹 “A sad day for the Council”
      • “That integrity and the Council’s prerogative were violated.”
        Nebenzia warned the document must not become “a cover for US-Israeli experiments” or a “death sentence for the two-state solution.”
      • 🔹 No clarity on transfer of control to Palestinians
      • “The US draft lacks any clarity regarding the timing of the transfer of control over Gaza to the Palestinian Authority.”
      • 🔹 Resolution fails to reaffirm basic principles
      • “We believed that the resolution had to… confirm the fundamental decisions and principles, primarily the cornerstone two-state solution formula.”
        [Sad day for world history. The agony is extended a little while longer through lawfare. The holocaust of Arabs will accelerate. The Resistance will continue. The end of the affair is not altered an iota. As Iranians noted wryly just yesterday, one cannot obtain “victories” through “negotiations” that were unobtainable on the battlefield. This is rather rope to hang the local traitors in West Asia, now exposed beyond hope.]

      💠 @Palestinian Commie:
      ⭕ 🇺🇳 The United NATOns has approved the American plan for an international “peacekeeping force” in Gaza, proving that the whole”ceasefire” is just a sham, intended to buy time for strengthening control and future schemes

      Hamas has issued a statement of rejection:

      • 🚫🟢 Hamas Movement in a press statement: In response to the adoption by the UN Security Council of the American draft resolution regarding Gaza, the Hamas Movement affirms the following:
      • This resolution does not meet the demands and political and humanitarian rights of our Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip, which has faced for two full years a brutal extermination war and unprecedented crimes committed by the terrorist occupation before the eyes and ears of the world, and its effects and repercussions continue despite the announcement of the end of the war according to President Trump’s plan.
      • The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism over the Gaza Strip, which our people, forces, and factions reject, and it also imposes a mechanism to achieve the occupation’s goals that it failed to achieve through the brutal extermination war. This resolution also detaches the Gaza Strip from the rest of the Palestinian geography and tries to impose new facts away from the constants of our people and their legitimate national rights, depriving our people of their right to self-determination and the establishment of their Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
      • Resistance to the occupation by all means is a legitimate right guaranteed by international laws and charters, and the resistance’s weapon is linked to the existence of the occupation. Any discussion on the issue of weapons must remain a national internal matter related to a political process that ensures the end of the occupation, the establishment of the state, and self-determination.
      • Assigning the international force tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of neutrality and turns it into a party in the conflict in favor of the occupation. Any international force, if established, must be present only at the borders to separate the forces, monitor the ceasefire, be fully supervised by the United Nations, work exclusively in coordination with official Palestinian institutions, without any role for the occupation, and work to ensure the flow of aid without becoming a security authority pursuing our people and resistance.
      • Humanitarian aid, relief for the afflicted, and opening crossings are fundamental rights for our people in the Gaza Strip, and aid and relief operations cannot be kept in the circle of politicization, blackmail, and subjection to complicated mechanisms amid the unprecedented humanitarian disaster created by the occupation, which requires accelerating the opening of crossings and pumping all capabilities to confront it through the United Nations and its institutions, foremost among them UNRWA.
      • We call on the international community and the Security Council to restore respect for international law and human values, and to take decisions that achieve justice for Gaza and the Palestinian cause, through the effective cessation of the brutal extermination war on the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, ending the occupation, and enabling our people to determine their destiny and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

      ⭕ 🇷🇺🇨🇳 Thank you Russia and China for not VETOing, we don’t know what we’d do without you 🫶
      [that is not fair. Bubba-sucking Goldfinger has more honor than the arab compradore elite. The Russkies spilled the beans why the civilizational-states stayed their hand, “He said Moscow took note of the positions of Ramallah and several Arab states”. They wait for the coming certain change of these abject elites, content concubines whose only concern is their daily meal of semen. One cannot herd cats, nor house slaves hellbent on remaining slaves. These pitiful optical maneuvers at the discredited UNSC will be used to take down both the West and their slaves.]
      ⭕ 🇬🇷 In 1889, a revolt erupted in Crete

      It was the largest Greek island and last part of Greece that remained under Ottoman control since the rest of the country gained independence from Ottoman settler-colonization after hundreds of years of occupation

      Former revolts had won concessions from the colonists, reaching the point of self-government, freedom in Greek neighborhoods of the island, respect and political dialogue in fear of revolution, and the removal of the death penalty for resistance

      Yet the Cretans, who had lived through previous revolts and seen the sacrifices of their people and martyrs against the barbaric feudal-imperialist reign masked with the Muslim “religion” in the most blasphemous order, felt guilty to live in stability, peace, and coexistence with the occupying enemies as neighbors, happily dwelling at the price of past martyrs’ blood

      The Turks, afraid of a bloodbath because it was bad for the economy, avoided poking the natives because the feudal élites were making too much profit off Crete. They also knew that no matter what they’d do, “Crete stood as the thorn in the throat of Turkey, who could have engulfed the whole world if it wasn’t for this little godforsaken island”

      The Cretans, though uncomprehending why God would allow such injustice for hundreds of years, remained ever faithful in God’s eventual triumph for them, and remained devout Christians despite the persecution, at the hands of the largest empire on earth at the time. They would tell themselves, “the world will change, the powers will switch, our mother Greece will uprise, and the Muscovites will come!”, hoping their brothers in Greek blood and history will mobilize, and promising the Turks that their brothers in denomination would come to aid at last

      ONE DAY, a spark was suddenly ignited, and the fires of revolution and bloodshed flamed across the entire island. Some people opposed, “what is the use? Damn these rebels, we want to live in peace, get married and have a life”, others said “with what power will we defeat the Turks?” While others viewed normal life under humiliating occupation as treason and cowardice. The fighting continued. Women and children were killed, churches were burnt, men were beheaded, and the dark days seemed endless

      The time was not right. The revolution was crushed, because the current global order was not ready. The Russians never came, the Greeks never moved anything but a few arms shipments, and the Cretans were told: it’s not your time yet

      The people, crushed, devastated and shocked, returned to their homes, and lived the next weeks, months, and years under Ottoman degradation, losing even the rights they’d achieved in previous revolutions…

      Then?

      A few years later, the global system was shaken. The power dynamics inevitably switched, as the Turkish world power became weak, and risked complete economic collapse. The old Capetans of resistance brigades picked up their rifles again, an Intifada rose from the ashes, and Ottoman forces were gradually crushed over the next years of battle. The Cretans rejected concessions or foreign custody. “If you await liberation from someone else, you will be their slave forever!”. They chanted one slogan: “Freedom or Death!”

      Crete was liberated.

      (Sound familiar?)

      ⭕ Citing Trump’s fake ceasefire in Gaza, Chancellor BlackRock has announced that Germany is lifting its fake arms embargo on the genocidal Israeli entity.

      The fact that Israel continues to murder, maim and terrorize Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank means nothing to this monster.

Not a single member of the Council had the courage, principle, or respect for international law to vote against this US-Israel colonial outrage. This proposal has been rejected by Palestinian civil society and factions, and defenders of human rights and international law everywhere. 17 November 2025 is a day of shame for the United Nations, and for governments around the world on their knees before the US empire and its violent Israeli client. But the struggle for Palestinian freedom will continue undeterred, with or without them.

      ⭕ The UN Security Council adopted (13-0 support with abstentions from China and Russia) Resolution 2803, Donald Trump’s 20-Point (obscured and unclear) Peace Plan for Gaza. The resolution authorizes an International Stabilization Force to deploy in Gaza for civilian protection and aid delivery, with Palestinian statehood conditional on reforms by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas disarmament. Hamas and Palestinian advocates considered it an infringement on self-determination.

        Yes you’re right and he taps into the traditional “Machiavellian/Sun Tzu realpolitik”. Why interrupt a vicious enemy when in the throes of elaborate suicide?

        However, I still think it is a historic mistake. Some times those raised and trained in one era fail to comprehend the altered stakes of a new incomprehensible era..

        They coulda taken the Yemeni skinny & straight road.. put their mouths and reputations and money where it counts.

        These are not Venezuelans or other well-armed peoples living in their own well-defended borders who have a strong fighting chance. This was never a war on Palestinians, but a century-long extermination project that morphed into ritual child sacrifice. The entire world’s had to endure the satanic spectacle for over two years.

        The satanic systemic wounding of the Palestinians is precisely so horrible to any with morals around the world — even those mindwashed to hate Islam and muslims and brown people — precisely because these are trapped poor people surrounded on every side, by land, sea and air, with the entire world scheming to annihilate them in an odious ritual to birth the new Pax Barbaria. They’re helpless fish in a kettle, with already by some estimates 1/4 murdered by cowards. And this is to continue??????

        They nonchalantly permit this to continue, when they have the strength to at least remove the fig leaf and speed up its resolution?

        This is a major mistake that will cost all the civilizational-states.

        Now I understand why the terrible prophesy of Armageddon says “99% on BOTH sides” fighting over the next financial system will perish. They’ve repeatedly failed the test in the last three years. By lowering themselves to seeing the Palestinian civilians as expendable, chips for destroying the Last Satanic Empire, the karma they’ve uncorked on themselves will similarly affect their own civilians………

          I see your point. It’s irrefutable. I wonder, then, if it is anticipated that the war between the colonial outpost and Iran may resume hot…and the nazi colonial outpost lose the ability to pursue their crime spree. Maybe Ruskie and Chinese intel is a factor. Soon enough we’ll see… Similarly, the character of the nazi regime in  Die Heimat may be by Russia and China anticipated to suddenly change… Both possibilities, I grant, seem  a bit unrealistic. And there is always a possibility of the ol’ accidental lucky shot…recalling that Yemen gets a vote too.

      💠 @Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
      The Yemeni Foreign Ministry in Sana’a rejects the Security Council’s decision to renew sanctions on Yemen, regarding it as a reflection of American agendas.

      • The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdul Wahid Abu Ras, stated to Al-Masirah: “Resolution 2801 was based on claims from parties that have launched aggression against Yemen, while the Yemeni voice continues to be absent.”
      • “The U.S. and the U.K. are attempting, through this resolution, to legitimize the militarization of the Red Sea and threaten navigation in both the Arabian and Red Seas.”
      • “The Security Council’s decisions will not change our stance on the Palestinian issue.”
      • “We appreciate the position of the countries that refrained from voting on the resolution and hope their future stances will be even stronger.”
      • “The latest report issued by the panel of experts is filled with inaccuracies and untrue or unrealistic facts.”
      • “We do not engage with or recognize the panel of experts, given its politicized nature and its reports filled with lies.”
      • “We advise and warn all international and regional parties against using this decision as a pretext to harm the interests of the Republic of Yemen; history holds significant lessons on this matter.”
        [this passed under the radar of most. Did you get it? Just the day before reimposing a colonial mandate on Gaza, the UNSC approved to renew the medieval siege sanctions on Ansarullah, with Russia and China again not vetoing. Multipolarity as espoused by the BRICS is DOA. It is now on par with the League of Nations. No matter of consequence will be permitted to be resolved, at least before Armageddon, since satan-possessed West is hellbent on getting there first, to murder over 7B of their irreconcilable enemies at large]

      Political Bureau of Ansaraallah:

      • We strongly condemn the renewal of sanctions against Yemen, which involves extending collective punishments and tightening mechanisms of economic blockade.
      • At a time when the United Nations claims to seek peace in Yemen, this decision serves the American agenda and the aggression coalition.
      • The decision comes as a desperate attempt to retaliate against Yemen’s active role in supporting Gaza and confronting the Zionist enemy.
      • We reject the continued work of the Panel of Experts, whose recent factual evidence shows their reports on Yemen are filled with lies and distortions.
      • We warn of the danger of continuing sanctions and their use as cover for military escalation and aggression against Yemen under the pretext of protecting international navigation.
      • Experience has proven that America militarizes the Red Sea to bring more foreign military bases to the region.
      • We reaffirm that Yemen’s stance alongside the Palestinian people and their just cause is a matter of principle not open to compromise.
      • We reject the UN Security Council resolution regarding the “peacekeeping force” in Gaza, which represents a return to methods of trusteeship and mandate under American supervision.
      • The decision achieves the Israeli enemy’s objectives that it failed to attain through excessive force and genocide.
      • We regret Arab and Islamic nations’ participation in adopting the U.S. position biased toward the Zionist entity, and emphasize the Palestinian people’s right to resist the enemy.
      • We call on the UN Security Council and international community to ensure humanitarian aid flows into Gaza and reopen crossings.

      ⭕ 🇸🇾🇸🇦 The first batch of oil under the Saudi-Syrian energy agreement has reached Banias 🛢️

      • 📝 The first batch of Saudi oil has arrived at the Syrian port of Banias: the tanker delivered 90,000 tons of crude oil. The delivery is part of a Saudi Arabian grant aimed at meeting local needs and strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries.
      • 📊 This is the first delivery under the energy agreement. Previously, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding providing for a total of 1.65 million barrels of crude oil. The current batch is 90,000 tons.
      • 🌐 The delivery fulfills the terms of the grant and memorandum, opening a cycle of further shipments in the declared volumes. From the perspective of regional dynamics, this strengthens the energy link between Damascus and Riyadh: Syria receives a stable source of raw materials to cover domestic demand, while Saudi Arabia strengthens its presence in the eastern Mediterranean through controlled supply channels.

      ⭕ The US administration has urged its Lebanese allies to rally behind a Shia candidate for the next parliamentary elections with a single objective: removing Speaker Nabih Berri, newly cast in Washington as a political foe. What this strategy overlooks, or simply disregards, are its structural consequences. Imposing a manufactured Shia alternative to replace the figure backed by the overwhelming majority of Shia voters would destabilise a sectarian system calibrated on delicate balances, and could begin to unravel the confessional order that has held the country together. Washington seems largely indifferent to the risks such a rupture would unleash, so long as the immediate goal of sidelining Berri is achieved.
      [the criminal Anglo-Zionists are openly trying to pull what remains of Lebanese institutions and create total anarchy, for the glory of the coming of their AI demonlord the Moshiach. Nabih Berri is one of the Shia kingmakers (almost 90 years old), Speaker of their Parliament, in another party separate from Hezbollah but friendly. The Shia are now the majority in Lebanon…]
      ⭕ Following the Lebanese army’s statement accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire and destabilising Lebanon, the US admin abruptly cancelled several meetings that had been scheduled for the Leb army chief of staff during his planned visit to Washington. He subsequently cancelled the trip altogether.

      ‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️A corruption scandal is approaching Zelensky, and he could lose power, according to the WSJ.

      ▪️Corruption allegations have outraged Ukrainians struggling through wartime hardship and now pose a clear threat to Zelenskyy’s leadership.
      ▪️The investigation has reached higher levels of government and gotten closer to Zelensky himself.
      ▪️Activists doubt he is still committed to fighting corruption.
      ▪️Ukrainians no longer want to donate their money to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, because they know that their leaders were enriching themselves while ordinary people “made sacrifices.”
      ➖”The threat to Zelenskyy abroad is just as serious. President Trump has repeatedly expressed reluctance to continue arms and other aid supplies to Ukraine, while other American officials have questioned Kyiv’s use of American funds. Even accusations of corruption in the Zelenskyy administration carry the risk that the US will cut off the aid flow,” the publication adds.

      ⭕Eswatini Becomes First African Nation to Get Twice-Yearly HIV Prevention Injection

      The country, which has the highest incidence of HIV in the world, will receive lenacapavir (LEN) — a US-developed drug that has shown near-total protection against HIV in clinical trials.

      The initial rollout will reach roughly 6,000 people at highest risk, with a particular focus on preventing mother-to-child transmission. The first doses are expected to be administered after the official launch on World AIDS Day, 1 December.

      In a population of just 1.2 million, more than 200,000 people in Eswatini are living with HIV.

      🇿🇦 Neighboring South Africa is preparing to follow suit, though concerns remain about whether supply will keep pace with demand once national distribution begins in April 2026.

      😡 Developed by Gilead Sciences, LEN has also stirred debate over access and manufacturing rights. Civil society groups reportedly in South Africa have criticized Gilead for excluding local manufacturers from voluntary licensing agreements, despite the country’s major contribution to clinical trials.

      Gilead is now seeking regulatory approval in Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

        Still a method...in fact it’s more or less ordinary to burn off the gases in a battery of small stand alone gas turbine-generators… This also takes place in land-fills, sometimes with piston engines.

        see> This study shows an efficient configuration method of a multiple units of cogeneration system (CGS) fueled by biogas in a sewage treatment facility. The efficient configuration was clarified by classifying a relation between exhaust heat recovery efficiency (η ehr) of the CGS, and the ratio of yearly average heat demand to yearly average biogas production of the facility (Q h.d/Q b.p). The CGS was assumed to be used under Q h.d/Q b.p < η ehr, Q h.d/Q b.p ≈ η ehr, Q h.d/Q b.p > η ehr conditions. Results shown that, although the CGS was sufficiently capable to cover the total heat demand of the facility by only using biogas produced, on the point of view of energy utilization efficiency, reduction of unutilized biogas efficiency and reduction of electrical demand efficiencies, the most efficient CGS was obtained under Q h.d/Q b.p ≈ η ehr condition. It was found that under Q h.d/Q b.p ≈ η ehr condition, energy utilization, reduction of unutilized biogas and reduction of electrical demand efficiencies were 0.64, 0.99, and 0.32, respectively. Whereas, under Q h.d/Q b.p < η ehr and Q h.d/Q b.p > η ehr conditions, energy utilization, reduction of unutilized biogas and reduction of electrical demand efficiencies were in a ranges of 0.56∼0.64, 0.43∼0.99, and 0.16∼0.20, respectively. If a CGS with a lower η ehr such as fuel cell is used under Q h.d/Q b.p < η ehr condition, or a CGS with a higher η ehr such as steam turbine is used under Q h.d/Q b.p > η ehr condition, more efficient system can be obtained.

      This zombie horror crap came out mere months after 911, anticipating the next “Pearl Harbor-type event” to take place 19 years later

      Regarding the “28-point plan” crap bloviated by the satanists, this is babylonian numerology. Brother Dallas from Calgary covered it years ago. There were even post-apocalyptic horror movies with themes of pandemics entitled “28 Days Later.” Apparently this number 28 is considered “a perfect number” in the kabbala. Many “events” are timed to occur (crimes unveiled or committed) 28 days later after a detonation ritual. So this is likely internal signaling within the satanic camp, and to ramp up pressure on civilizational-states who are attuned and watching this crap.
      PS — the reverse of 28 is 82. The trumpet of the Moshiach will be 82 years old in the 2028 election, were it to take place ..

      CAF: “misery is a business model”.

      💠 @ejmalrai:
      ⭕ Stop gaslighting.

      Israel will not dare to send ground forces into Lebanon. Israeli media keep speaking about when, not if, an invasion will happen, as if repetition could make it real. It will not happen, because Benjamin Netanyahu – an ICC fugitive – knows exactly what awaits his army.

      Even at a moment when Hezbollah was caught off guard, when pagers, walkie talkies, solar panels, digital cameras and other systems were sabotaged, when half of its missile units were wounded, when the secretary general and his two successors were assassinated, when thirty percent of its warehouses were destroyed, Hezbollah communication and location data were breached and when many members of the Jihadi Council and unit commanders were eliminated, Israel still failed to advance more than a few metres into south Lebanon.

      At that time, it was largely the geographic forces of the resistance, the inhabitants of the border villages themselves, who stood in front of five Israeli divisions and stopped them.

      So imagine what an invasion would look like today, after a full reorganisation, renewed discipline, and a level of preparedness that did not exist then.
      ⭕ The US officials have decided to boycott the Lebanese army, pushing the country to the only remaining solution to defend itself in case of an Israeli invasion: to rely on the popular resistance.

      Israel reports the highest rape rate per capita in the Middle East, around 15.5 per 100,000, per available statistics from sources like World Population Review. Bahrain follows at about 4.6, while others like Saudi Arabia report under 1 due to severe underreporting from cultural stigma and victim punishment under sharia. Actual rates likely exceed reported figures in low-reporting nations, making true comparisons difficult.
      ⭕ Israel is extending its unlawful evacuation warning to additional villages south of Lebanon before bombing. Again, these buildings, indicated as targets, aim to exacerbate the inhabitants, using the same style Israel has successfully used in Syria for 14 years.

      • Today: Israeli drone strike kills 2 civilians, injures over 10 university students in Al-Tayri.
      • Yesterday: 13 Palestinians killed, 40+ injured in a strike on Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp, near Sidon. Israel claimed it targeted a Hamas meeting, when in reality it hit a sports field full of young boys.
      • 2 others were killed in separate attacks.

      Ceasefire? That’s what they like to call it, when in fact this is sustained, U.S.-backed warfare.

      And still Washington is punishing Lebanon for being attacked.
      Yesterday the U.S. cancelled meetings with Lebanon’s army chief, because he condemned Israel’s violations of Lebanese sovereignty & didn’t echo calls to disarm Hezbollah.
      Israel has now violated the “ceasefire” over 5,200 times. So if Lebanon defends its land, it gets punished?

      The message is loud & clear:
      🇺🇸 U.S. foreign policy isn’t about peace or sovereignty.
      It’s about obedience.
      Step out of line, even to protect your own people, & you’re out.

      This debacle for arabs, whilst at same time detonating what remains of the criminal post-1941 UN Anglo-American system, and permits continuance of their holocaust, really exposes the two greatest enemies of arabs and humanity at large: elites and hypocrites, who only serve themselves.

At the same time, ICBC and UnionPay launched the first multi-currency debit and dual-currency credit UnionPay cards in Turkey, expanding cross-border payments and retail services. Trade reached $42.9 billion in 2024, and China’s direct investment was about $3.2 billion.
      • 🌐 Considering China’s growing role in trade with the Gulf countries, this mechanism strengthens Turkey’s ability to work with regional partners in alternative currencies.

      The announcement came in the form of announcing the first operation by the new Al-Khalil Brigade, repelling an invading Zionist force

      An internal uprising remains the biggest historical existential threat against the Zionist state, a confrontation in which each time they have had to make the biggest concessions and throw billions annually for internal stability. Following the Gaza war, and 6 years of failing to defeat West Bank resistance (namely of the PIJ), Zionist authorities are silently dying inside. Al-Quds Brigades now have briagdes in all northern provinces, Ramallah, and now in the south

      • The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that an explosion is imminent in the occupied West Bank, and that the outbreak of a comprehensive third intifada is closer than ever before. It emphasizes that the crime of executing the boy Amro Al-Marbouh and the child Sami Mashayekh in Kafr Aqab early Friday morning, along with the accompanying bloodshed of Palestinians and the unleashing of settler gangs to kill and destroy throughout the West Bank, is the spark that will burn what remains of the illusions of calm, and that the accumulated Palestinian anger will erupt like lava against the occupation.
      • The Front clarifies that our people face a distorted entity led by a criminal system that mixes megalomania with sadistic bloodlust; the practices of burning, destruction, and targeting civilians reveal a deeply rooted racist and fascist doctrine, and a sick psychological makeup of a group of killers and mentally disturbed individuals who treat crime as a distorted human nature.
      • The Front stresses that our people will not stand idly by in the face of this criminal sadism, nor will they bow to organized state terrorism; the occupation is deluded if it thinks that escalating crimes will bring calm, rather it will be the fuel that ignites a tremendous revolutionary energy that enforces comprehensive confrontation and turns the West Bank into a battlefield that drains the enemy and its settler gangs.
      • The Front sends a warning message to the world that the continuation of this fascist entity has become a central hub of genocide and a looming danger to all humanity, calling on free forces to besiege this criminal system with comprehensive boycott and delegitimization, and not to treat its leaders as a normal state but as a rogue gang of killers and enemies of human values, affirming that regional stability can only be achieved by uprooting this occupation.

        I think what we see in progress is the reverse of planned escape routes. It was planned to escape to Novorossiya and Patagonia, but with CONUS and Europe rendered insolvent and indefensible, they’re now doubling-down in the Holy Land. This is the only land they can be assured will not be nuked by any side, so holy and precious to all, and heavily populated with Resistance civilian human shields..

        However Persia and the Resistance have surprises for them. At the Second Coming, ALL current occupiers will have been attrited outta existence.

      ⭕ 🔥 🇷🇺’We are winning and will not surrender our victory to anyone’ – Russian military analyst

      • 🗣 The city of Kupyansk recently liberated by the Russian forces is a strategic location that was critically important to the Ukrainian war effort, veteran Russian military expert Alexey Leonkov tells Sputnik.
      • Kupyansk, Leonkov explains, was part of a chain of ‘fortress cities’, urban centers that were meant to be held by Ukrainian forces at all costs.
      • Once these fortresses fall, nothing will stop the Russian army’s advance and the Ukrainian militants will find themselves unable to use civilians as human shields.
      • “We are winning and we will not surrender our victory to anyone,” says Leonkov.
      • The latest ‘peace’ initiatives highlight this fact, he suggests, as Western powers fear that the Ukrainian battle lines may collapse at any moment.
      • Thus, the West desperately seeks to avoid this scenario and preserve the Ukrainian Army, employing diplomatic maneuvers in a bid to halt or at least slow down Russia’s advance.
      • 👉 Their concern is understandable, Leonkov points out, as the upcoming winter campaign is going to be a total disaster for Ukraine.
      • With no foliage to hide in from recon drones, Ukrainian forces will be sitting ducks for the Russian aerospace forces who will keep hammering Ukrainian frontline positions and rear echelons without mercy.
      • “Now comes the time where any heat signature indicates the presence of either troops or military hardware. Thus, Ukrainian military casualties will increase at an exponential rate.”
      • 🔊 Facing both a lack of explosives needed to lay new minefields and skilled drone operators, the Ukrainian military can no longer stall Russian forces, he adds.

      Taking on Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea is now simply out of the question for the US military. If the US attempts to fight any of those four, it will turn into an absolute disaster.

      [click for thread … no surprises]


      🔻 WS: The Ukrainians are, by and large, a subset of the Russian world. I suspect that reality will reassert itself.
      🔻 Chris: I wonder after this if the Ukrainian survivors will end up hating the Western world.
      [you think?! The Karma under way, every which way, from every quadrant on Earth]
      🔻 WS: They have been betrayed and sacrificed by the US/NATO. Sooner or later, they will figure that out.
      🔻 Chris: They will join the ranks of Southern Vietnam army, and a lot of other proxies.

      One interesting question is if this is going to have any consequences for the US as a whole.
      🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The reality is this war was lost and the original AFU gone by the end of 2022. To send a military that has lost on a series of utterly disastrous offensives they are not capable of carrying out results in horrific losses and casualties, and we will find that out.
      🔻 kosta tomic: What a tragedy, and a travesty absolutely criminal those that provoked this war need to be sought out and prosecuted


      [Solid thread. well, except for ritual German suicide none could foresee, rest was spot on.

      🔻 WS: I’ve seen these.

      What I’m talking about is sparrow-sized short-range AI-guided units that can be packed into little VLS-type cell-groups on tanks, or shot from grenade-launcher-type weapons by infantry — carried in substantial quantities.

      Anyway, it’s just a thought …
      🔻 Irony Man: First drones to stop the drones that stop the drones.
      At this rate war becomes two swarms arguing over who gets airspace
      🔻 tjandthebear: Ever watch small race drones? They could chase down anything and kill via simple high-speed impact.

      And those Chinese display swarms? Imagine thousands of drones just hanging in the air & attacking intruder drones like angry bees
      🔻 Stable M: How much smaller?
      🔻 WS: Like a few grams of explosive warhead in a drone the size of a sparrow, with a range of maybe 200 – 300 meters.


      🔻 Rich Goldman: We can only hope that people are finally waking up to the truth about what this profoundly mediocre and cruel president has done in office. His lies are unending, as are the deficiencies in his character. It’s all going to unravel soon
      🔻 ShortSale: The West is being engineered to fail. There’s no runway of debt expansion left after this
      🔻 Truth Matters: Lucifer has a new rival. Trump is a malignant narcissist and the worst president in the history of this great nation. I can’t believe a man who’s complicit in the genocide of innocent children would utter the word “peace.”
      🔻 Michael Rauls: It seems like he is literally going mad.
      I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but this isn’t looking good.
      🔻 Alex Santic: His downfall may very well come as you suggest. However, I think it will not be in Palestine. In the forty years that I have followed this conflict from the anti-Zionist side, it was only relatively recently that I lost most of my hope for the Palestinians. They will be “exiled” much like the Jews of 2000 years ago.

      It has been amply proven over the decades that the Jewish State and Revisionist Zionism are deeply conjoined twins. Perhaps there was hope of a separation, but it has faded with age. Unfortunately, the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Israel last century — a geopolitical disaster — assures their survival.
      🔻 WS: Nor did I intend to suggest his downfall will come in “Palestine”.

      That is not where sufficient firepower is found to severely damage both US military hardware and prestige.

      Iran, Russia, and China are a different story.

      🔻 Para: do you think “start a war to raise approval ratings” is even still a thing in 2025?

      isn’t that essentially what biden tried with ukraine?
      🔻 WS: It doesn’t matter what I think. All that matters is what the desperate people in the halls of power think, and what folly they are willing to commit in a futile bid to remain in the halls of power.
      🔻 Para: painfully true judging by the way they’ve handled russia diplomacy this year
      🔻 Gary L: There has been no visible Western diplomacy with Russia, if that’s what you mean.
      🔻 Para: yup. just petty theatrics for the neocon crowd.
      🔻 Дневник страданий и скорбей (☀️: ♋️; ⤴️: ♍️): I am once again completely and utterly baffled that people voted for this moron.
      🔻 Andrzej Roslanowski: What about this theory:
      Venezuela and the new Epstein dump are pre-loaded distractions.
      When Ukraine finally collapses (and it will be orders of magnitude worse than the Afghanistan withdrawal), the administration will truly detonate both scandals at once to drown out the fallout. The developments in both directions may hint that intelligence agencies expect total collapse of UA really soon. 🧐🤔
      🔻 Cris: A brick of words…

      Oh my eyes!
      🔻 galileo: Did anyone bother to count the number of lies in that statement?


      🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: This I believe this is the biggest threat to Putin’s presidency. Russia must solve the security problem of that territory forever. All other considerations need to be secondary.
      🔻 eletale: Russia has decisively won every battle in 3 years against the weight of NATO and the US. This is an outstanding victory, and now Russia is the most effective land army in the world.
      🔻 Proteus Steinmetz: Can you not see the absolute slog this is for the Russians?

      “The Ukrainians are collapsing” has been going on for literally years at this point, enough.

      The Ukies will only collapse once the U.S. withdraws all support & not before then. A negotiated settlement is best for both.
      🔻 WS: This is an expression of the fallacies and delusions of #TheImaginaryWar.

      “Man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” ― Euripides


      🔻 WS: I do not dispute that Witkoff and Dmitriev are having amiable chats on these questions.

      What I DO dispute is that Witkoff and Dmitriev are meaningful actors in this drama.

      In my view, BOTH are marginal players — often bordering on the clownish. They are rhetorical tools.
      🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: That may be the case, not questioning what you’re saying. My point is really about what this all means about Europe’s position, or rather lack of it.

      🔻 Big if True: I think China doesn’t want trouble with Japan but at thr same time really welcomes trouble with Japan.
      🔻 cardano: are they going to do something, or just talk for few decades like they do with taiwan.
      🔻 WS: The Chinese aim to bloodlessly reassimilate Taiwan — to essentially have Taiwan willingly realign with Mainland China.

      As for Japan, China would crush them if war broke out, and I don’t believe for a moment the Americans would go to war with China to defend Japan.
      🔻 SK: They have aspirations to be the new sheriff.. but they won’t be….
      🔻 WS: They already are.


      [it famously did in Afghan – on a hospital around which it loitered for an hour… come to think of it, this was a rehearsal for Gaza, and by the same team]
      🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The modern battlefield is chock full of cheap drones and missile defence systems of all kinds that will fatally damage any aircraft loitering around, no matter how heavily armoured. They actually want to replace this with the F-35.
      🔻 Just John: Dunno about that take.
      Russians seem to be having no issues running fab strokes with jets.

      I just think it’s the modern mindset unable to cope with conventional warfare losses.
      10% was cost of doing business and 40% was sometimes justifiable
      🔻 WS: Not all “jets” are created equal. And there is no comparison between the Russian Su-34 and the American A-10. And the US currently has nothing in its inventory to compare with the Russian FABs. JDAMs were an embarrassing failure in Ukraine, and were withdrawn from service there.
      🔻 John: Interested in why FABs are a genuine game changer on the battle field, while JDAMs failed.
      🔻 WS: Two main reasons:

      1) They were easily defeated by Russian electronic countermeasures, or otherwise shot down.

      2) Ukraine has no air force left to launch them even if they could penetrate Russian defenses.
      🔻 Bob Jan: 26 years ago a couple of them were shot down in Kosovo by more or less inept Serbian air defense. I imagine today it would be like shooting fish in a barrel if contested by competent air defense.
      🔻 MAKE LOVE AND NOT WAR: The A-10 (flying pig) was born with the mission of hunting and destroying tanks due to the numerical superiority of the former Soviet Union (back then, it could have run over Europe). The world has changed, but the aircraft has not.


      🔻 WS: The A-10 is a relic of a bygone era — one where the opponent had negligible firepower.

      #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
      🔻 Chuck P. Ritter: These takes are always by people who have never been to combat and used the A-10 platform while doing so. Always entertaining to read.
      🔻 WS: No Americans at any level of the US military, nor any American warplanes in the current inventory have EVER experienced high-intensity combat such as has been seen in Ukraine since 2022.
      🔻 Cager: No country has ever received the full 100% might of the U.S military though. Not Iraq, not Afghanista, not Syria, not ISIS. So there’s no way to accurately compare this at all. Ukraine doesn’t even really run regular SEAD missions, which would be a thing by the USAF
      🔻 WS: This is the most common cope I hear. It is, of course, meaningless, since the “full power” of the US military could not be concentrated without emptying every single US base on the planet.

      The US could not win and will not fight a war against Russia, China, or even Iran.
      🔻 WS: As I have frequently said, if given a choice between two A-10s and one Su-25, I’d take the Su-25 every time, and twice on Sunday.

      Yeah, the Russians probably lost a couple dozen of them over Ukraine, most to old Soviet SAMs and MANPADs. But they’re superior to the A-10.
      🔻 Tom: The only thing the Su-25 has going for it over the A-10 is that it’s a bit faster and smaller. It’s marginally better in contested airspace as a result of that.

      Neither one of them is going to survive if they climb above a certain altitude on that battlefield though.
      🔻 WS: The Su-25 is 50% faster than the A-10, with 2x the combat range.
      🔻 Allen Graetz: The Russians basically aren’t operating tanks, Why would you be operating a tank-killer when there are no tanks to kill?
      🔻 WS: War has changed dramatically in the past few years, and few Americans — both in and out of the Pentagon — have figured that out yet.
      🔻 Allen Graetz: Is that shift in fighting going to cause them to forget that a plane created 50 years to tear up Soviet armor isn’t of much use if there’s no armor?
      🔻 WS: The only reason there are still operational A-10s is to keep $$$ rolling into the local economies around the US bases where they pretend to stand ready to “kick ass and take names”. It’s a social welfare program.
      [and to shoot up underarmed brownies “over there” if called up for (murder) duty]

      🔻 Allen Graetz: You do realize that at this point most A-10s have been retired?
      🔻 WS: As of the end of 2024, there were still over 200 of them listed as operational for USAF, Reserves, and ANG.

      They are scheduled to be fully retired by about 2030.
      🔻 TopoTito’s: But it would be very effective against the cartels hiding in the mountains. Keep it for that role.
      🔻 WS: You mean the ones who now possess hundreds of MANPADs?

      It is reliably claimed that the entire electrical system…. right down to kitchen tools and chain saw ignitions… of North America can be destroyed in an instant (at night it works better) by EMP detonations at about 250 miles. This can be achieved by submarine launches or by satellite – North Korea could do it. The detonations do not need to be over the US. Following that all the nuclear power stations would melt down and spew. There is no golden dome. It’s an idiotic idea. In the year following such an event nearly the entire population would be dead. I posted recently on this matter at Salon.

        dear Mr P, my departed claimed it was simple: take out the insulators.  a few here another couple there to disable the grid & it would take days/weeks before the situation would be restored; particularly effective if deployed in the exurbia of heavily populated cities.  is this still true?

          I suppose it’s “easy”. If it became popular to shoot at them it would seem that things would be pretty “difficult”.  An EMP would, incidentally, destroy all of them in an instant. Also the transformers and the generators and the control systems and the refineries and the rest.

              When the siege of Iraq changed to “Desert Storm”, iirc, the nazis used “cruise missiles” that trailed carbon fiber across the high voltage lines, thus causing arcs and trips.  Lights Out Bagdad. One might expect that a “grass-rooted campaign” of hydrogen filled (or simply “Brown’s Gas) filled trash bags trailing kite string, especially if the string had been soaked in salt-water and then dried… Such doin’s would be very dangerous and probably if caught the suspects would be  liable to gittin’ shot. Nevertheless I expect it. There have been sabotage attacks on transformers at substations…30 caliber holes lettin’ the insulating oil leak from transformers… Even a .22 can ruin an insulator….and that’s pretty quiet. We recall how the European nazis treated saboteurs on the rail lines, etc. It’s part of the chaos, and deadly. Crazy. I urge prayer and tranquility, but am not naive about the flow of time. History rhymes. Alas.

      🔻 Irony Man: If this document is real, then it’s not a peace plan, it is a fantasy novel.
      No side that’s winning on the ground signs away gains for promises written in fog. The war ends when reality sets the terms, not when wish lists circulate in Telegram chats
      🔻 WS: 📜 Dictating Terms
      🔻 Irony Man: Your read on the decoy layer of diplomacy tracks with reality, the real moves are always off ledger, not in the press releases
      🔻 Simone Klaczynski: Lmao 🤣. Russians are going for Odessa, cutting off bandera state and Anglo Saxons from the black sea. If it’s not done, that’s a huge mistake with lasting generational consequences
      🔻 Chris Close: Actually, given the rise in value in Russia’s gold holdings, they are effectively:

      1.) Buying the territory they conquered
      2.) Getting the NATO expansion curtailment they want.
      3.) All sanctions removed.
      4.) Resolution with Europe.
      5.) Effectively integrated (as commodities seller) back into the EU which needs their energy.

      This might work.

      If not what specifically do you believe Russia might want Will?
      🔻 WS: They want exactly what they have said they want — repeatedly and unvaryingly: the Donbass, Novorossiya, and the rollback of NATO military presence to its pre-1997 borders.

      The current US proposal is tantamount to a NATO/Russia partition of Ukraine.
      📜 In for A Pound
      🔻 Chris Close: Let’s watch

      Wars of attrition go on forever. Until one side collapses.

      Time is on Russia’s side.
      🔻 WS: Once the last of the AFU forces are driven out of their massive complex of fortifications in the Donbass, they will be rolled up rapidly.

      There is effectively nothing left in the US/NATO arsenals, nor the Ukraine pool of manpower, with which to reconstitute a new army.
      🔻 Chris Close: Curious to see the press/populace reaction in the EU given the non-stop, “Russia is losing and on the verge of collapse” propaganda.
      🔻 WS: Deep delusions die hard. But this much is certain: there is absolutely no conceivable “coalition of the willing” in Europe that could undertake a military confrontation with Russia — and for as stupid as they are in most respects, the Pentagon MUST understand they can’t, either.
      🔻 DJSmith: The US will never remove sanctions from anyone – let alone Russia.

      The US Treasury has an sanctions bureau employing thousands, whose only job is to impose sanctions every day.
      🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: Yet again, they are trying to inch the Russians towards a ceasefire and ‘freeze’ which they desperately need to avoid everyone seeing them as defeated while dressing it up as ‘concessions’, none of which mean anything and will be reneged on almost immediately.
      🔻 四维: Pay billions in reparations just to become the caddy of the G7. Odessa is worth a lot more.
      🔻 TheCakeisaLie: I agree. The US is in no position to dictate terms to the Russians.
      🔻 🐝🌼𝕋𝘳ű𝑡Һ𝐒𝑒𝑒ⲕ𝑒𝘳🌼🐝: Definitely sucked out of finger hoax. NO ONE KNOWS the real proposal yet.
      🔻 WS: The US has no proposal that matters. The Russians are dictating terms. That is what happens in the real world when you win a big war.

      ⭕ 🧵 The Dmitriev Decoy

      I have previously expressed my thoughts on Kirill Dmitriev’s role in these ongoing “negotiations” between Russia and the US. I will repost two of them here:

      “I believe Dmitriev is playing a purposefully calculated role. The things he says are intended to beguile the fools in Washington and London with dreams of reprising the 1990s era of plunder and pillage.

      Meanwhile, Russian military and strategic objectives continue unabated.”

      and

      “I do not dispute that Witkoff and Dmitriev are having amiable chats on these questions.

      What I DO dispute is that Witkoff and Dmitriev are meaningful actors in this drama.

      In my view, BOTH are marginal players — often bordering on the clownish. They are rhetorical tools.”
      🔻 Jeff Wells: But to what end? The fools seem beguiled enough on their own without needing Dmitriev to lead them on. I’d like to think he’s playing a clever game but he strikes me as someone who is exactly what he appears to be.
      🔻 WS: Keep stringing the Americans along with hopes of some great deal Trump can spin into a triumphant victory. Meanwhile, continue to pursue every objective of the Special Military Operation.

      At least this is my working theory as to why and how Putin is using Dmitriev in this game.

      Remember NEOM? This is the legacy project of the Moshiach. At the feet of Mount Sinai, soon to pass under formal control of Pax Barbaria, he will reenact the Golden Calf, but on steroids. Much of the western server farms, A.I., and brain-human interface will relocate there.. woe to mankind

      ⭕ 🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Ministry: IAEA resolution on Iran is a Western provocation

      • 📝 The Russian Foreign Ministry called the draft resolution on Iran, proposed by Germany, the United Kingdom, the USA, and France, provocative and undermining trust in the IAEA safeguards system. The document was voted for by 19 of the 35 members of the Board of Governors, with Russia, China, and Niger voting against it.
      • 📊 According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, there were no grounds for extraordinary measures against Iran, and the IAEA’s verification activities have been complicated by strikes from the USA and Israel on Iranian facilities. Meanwhile, Tehran remains committed to its obligations under the NPT and continues cooperation with the agency.
      • 🌐 Zakharova called the Western position cynical, reminding that it was the Western countries that violated the 2015 nuclear deal. She emphasized that the JCPOA is no longer in effect, restrictions have lost their force, and attempts to “restart” old sanctions are a political manipulation undermining the non-proliferation system.

      even Skinny Daddy can’t keep up with the news. It’s like what a class president told us in med school: learning here is like holding your mouth to the fire hydrant. That is the level of “news” gushing from the drowning Yanquistan today. And 99% is manufactured and curated crap

      ⭕ ⚡️The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reports that all major thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants in the country are damaged.


      no it ain’t Da Klan in dose seats. That was my first impression too, before zooming in. The A.I. plopped Iranian Shahed drones on the economy seats

      ⭕ 🚨 ‘Orphaned’ Europe faces a choice: Militarization or national interests

      As the Ukrainian project fails, Europe faces a choice: self-destruction through militarization or rebirth on national foundations, explains Alexander Yakovenko, deputy director of Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik’s parent company.

      Other points he puts forward:

      • The Ukrainian conflict has exposed European elites, leaving them politically and morally tied to a failing strategy as they prepare for a potential direct war with Russia
      • Europe is betting on prolonging the conflict for three more years to buy time for preparation, with Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius suggesting 2028/2029 as a possible timeline
      • European elites suppress free speech and dissent to maintain power, as existing systems cannot provide answers to migration and economic crises
      • Leading European economies, including Germany and the UK, remain in recession, with 40% of French pension payments now coming from borrowed funds
      • What’s driving the current crisis in Europe?
      • The Ukrainian conflict was a US plot against Europe aimed at preventing a “Russia-Europe union” and containing both Russia and Germany as the EU powerhouse
      • Europe faces an identity conflict between globalist elites (10%) and the majority rooted in traditional values, with supranational Brussels bureaucracy causing a democratic accountability crisis
      • Germany’s future is uncertain with rising AfD and Reichsburger movements, while militarization is shattering the post-war welfare state model
      • Continental Europe becomes “geopolitically orphaned” as Anglo-Saxon nations (the US, the UK, Canada, and Ireland) consolidate into a separate bloc
      • Thus, the European Union, which was created as an anti-Russian project, has outlived its usefulness and is unable to fit into the new geopolitical context, the author concludes.
