      ⭕ 🇹🇭🇰🇭 The Thai Air Force carried out strikes on Cambodian military positions using F-16 fighter jets. This was reported by the press secretary’s office of the Thai Air Force.

      The operation was conducted in response to Cambodian attacks on Thai military facilities, one of which resulted in the death of a Thai soldier and injuries to four others.

      ⭕ 🔥 Hodeidah Port: New Escalation in Yemen

      • 📝 The oil product terminal of Hodeidah port in Yemen caught fire after attacks, presumably by Israeli forces.
      • 📊 This incident occurs against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where the Iran-backed Houthis control a significant part of the territory, including Hodeidah. The port is a key point for the import of fuel and humanitarian aid to Yemen. Attacks on the port’s infrastructure could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and affect regional stability, affecting the interests of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
      • 🌐 Developments around Hodeidah could lead to a further escalation of tensions in the Persian Gulf. This highlights the vulnerability of energy infrastructure in the region and potential risks to global oil supplies.

      Italia’s the third arms seller to Zion after Yanquis and Germans

      💠 @🌎🛡GEOPOL360🕊🌍:
      ⭕ 🇺🇸🇯🇵 According to the Financial Times, Japan is frustrated by the near-complete silence from the Trump administration following China’s strong reaction 🇨🇳 to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s warning that a Chinese attack on Taiwan 🇹🇼 could justify Japanese military intervention.

      Tokyo has asked the United States to show more public support, but apart from a few minor comments from the embassy, Washington has largely avoided openly backing it.

      Japanese officials say the lack of visible American support is deeply disappointing.

      ⭕❗️ NEW: Israel’s largest newspaper ‘Yedioth Ahronoth’ reports that Western intermediaries have conveyed multiple messages to Iran that Israel ‘does not seek another military confrontation’

      Iran reportedly dismissed these assurances as ‘deceptive’, and sees another war with Israel as inevitable.

        There is another wrinkle here. Iran has this Israeli Jewish community and they found out that many of the communications are following zionist channels. They said .. no way, don’t play those things here and they acted somewhat hard .. telling that they will cut it off! So, perhaps this is also an internal matter.

        movement capture has been around a long time…if i had to guess, i’d say it’s been around since babylon.   i first ran into it @ sir george williams, later named, concordia.  a group of students had taken over the computers.

        fairly early on, a tight circle of strangers inexplicably emerged.   where the students were disorganized, passionate, arrogant young know it alls, not stupid so much as unbruised, the strangers were impressive impresarios.  in no time, they’d selected a leader, something the students hadn’t been in a rush to do, a campus folk singer, a good looking guy totally recognizable, confident he knew everyone worth knowing…oddly though like all the rest he was wholly unacquainted with the clique of strangers.

        next thing, they’d nominated him to be president of the student council, a job he’d selected for himself but had not disclosed within the group.  student council like frats & football wasn’t cool back then.  most had not even noticed there was an election upcoming.   the folkie hoped to change the world through grassroots movements.  the strangers knew something about campaigns & the win was fairly big.  this too was never questioned.

        after his election disappointment set in—none of his slate ever made it to the council vote & slowly he began to realize he was required to back an agenda that he’d neither proposed nor supported.   all the while the momentum of the takeover of the university’s computers dissipated.

      On Ukraine … via https://t.me/VA_Nikonov/52812   –  scroll down

      Trump’s envoys have given Zelenskyy “several days” to respond to the proposed peace agreement, the Financial Times reported, citing sources.

      The article notes that the US president hopes to reach an agreement on a settlement in Ukraine “by Christmas.”

      -snip

      🇺🇦 Zelenskyy stated that he is ready to hold elections in Ukraine . The Bankova resident, responding to Italian journalists, said he is “always ready” for the elections. The statement came after Donald Trump said that Kyiv is using the war as a pretext to postpone the vote. === Fox News Russia –

      -snip

      Almost all of Kyiv is without power: Did we miss something?

      “About 70% of Kyiv is now without power,” Kyiv public groups are writing.

      And yet, apparently, there was no serious strike. I wonder what’s going on there…

      Meanwhile, Ukrainian energy experts say there are only enough spare parts to repair Ukraine’s energy facilities for two or three strikes.

      Two years ago, they were saying Russia only had enough missiles for those same two or three strikes. Yes, times have changed.

      • 🤝 During his stay in Addis Ababa, Narendra Modi will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
      • The two leaders last met on the sidelines of the 2023 BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, where they discussed enhancing cooperation in trade, investment, defense, and information technology.
      • India and Ethiopia, both BRICS members, previously engaged on key issues during the 2023 BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, where Modi and Abiy discussed deepening cooperation in trade, investment, defense, and information technology.
      • The last Indian premier to visit Ethiopia was Manmohan Singh in 2011.
      • BRICS countries are actively deepening their collaboration. Recently, Putin paid an official visit to India, where he held high-level talks with Modi to discuss key areas of bilateral and strategic cooperation.

In Eschatology, the main remaining bastion of Palestinians is reduced to Jordan, or the East Bank of the River Jordan to be specific.

      Only informational ..not meant for discussion – thing is India is being romanced and bought. It looks like the US now considers the trajectory a threat, or, they are handing out cookies. Today, Amazon announced an investment of $35 billion in India and will create one million jobs by 2030. (Note the agreement with Russia for 1 million jobs in Russia as well). Yesterday, Microsoft announced an equally large investment.

      Interesting I thought. Now, these may only be announcements for the media and the fine print may say something different. I’ve not checked any Indian commentary. But if investments like these (which I truly do not follow) come across my information stream, uhm .. something’s cookin’.

      The enemies have succeeded in subjugating most regimes and most peoples, subjecting them to their dictates, turning their wealth into a source of sustenance, their homelands into military bases, and their human resources into tools of subjugation and enslavement. They have emptied them of their human, moral, and Islamic content to a horrific level.

      One of the most prominent manifestations of this situation, and it remains so, is the stance of most of the two billion Muslims towards the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy, its American partner, and its Western Zionist supporters against the Palestinian people, and the commission of the most heinous and atrocious crimes against them.”

      Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever called the European Commission’s proposal to use Russian assets for Ukraine “theft.”

      “Of course, there are better solutions than stealing money from the Russian central bank. This is a radical step. I think it’s very unwise and ill-considered.”

      He didn’t rule out filing a lawsuit against the EC to block the possible decision to use Russian assets.

      A rare voice of reason in the EU. The confiscation of sovereign assets is a dangerous precedent that will ultimately undermine trust in the Western financial system and the dollar.

      Larry Johnson writes about theft …

      “If you are caught between a dog with a full bladder and a fireplug, you are going to get a golden shower. If the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen gets her way, Belgium faces an unpleasant hosing down. Some European members of NATO, eager to save a Ukraine that is beyond salvation, are desperately trying to figure out a way to steal Russian assets held by Euroclear without admitting that they are guilty of theft. The European Commission is the most vocal advocate for using the cash and windfall profits generated by frozen Russian sovereign assets held at Euroclear (and similar EU institutions) in a deceitful scheme to back large loans for Ukraine’s budget, defence, and reconstruction. It presents this as an unprecedented but legally “safer” reparations‑loan mechanism that leaves Russia’s ownership claim over the underlying assets formally intact while redirecting the income and cash balances they generate. But anyway you paint it, it is still theft and Belgium is squirming at the prospect.”  con’t at link

      the orange actor appears one of the Great Dividers and narrative builders in human history.. consummate at roiling and raisin Hate.. It was prophesied that Legion would be given over to 1/4 of humanity – without nary a chance for that 25%. Never did the Romans consider Bread & Circuses on this demented level


      Notes:

      • Nasrallah, Oct 2023: “a ceasefire with Hamas in charge in Gaza is a Victory.” In addition to defining the political contours, the Resistance anticipated the satanic unleashing of the West to come; Dugin also said the zionazis would seek to murder every Palestinian back then, to the last. Even so, most are shocked at the savagery unleashed to date. And we ain’t seen nuthin’, especially within the Garden…….
      • Zionazis, as the larger Garden in 404 and elsewhere, face bottleneck of manpower shortage, and debilitating fatigue, necessitating “ceasefire” needs. So A.I., dronification and other cruel tech is expected to come to save them….
      • in the racist exceptionalist need for subjugation and rule, inspite of humanity majority revulsion, and refusal to return to human values, their options in remaining years ahead: (a) transform the world into acquiring a taste (if not zest) for their depravity, thereby indirectly whitewashing their own crimes; this by the way appears operative as part of the stacked function of murdering Caribbean fishermen. I’ve witnessed increasing nazi sentiment among MAGA cult due to this imposed bloodlust alone.. (b) subjugate the world. So the world’s savage wars will ramp up. Goldfinger’s served notice to Columbia and Mexico, and redetonated Thailand and Cambodia, and now pushes Nigeria to invade and suicide herself against the AES… So if the Anglo-Zionist elite have their way, the world will be drowned in a blood-dimmed tide, again, thereby comparatively minimizing their own crimes (with pretense they’re not behind every theatre).
      • in the setting of failures against militias, and Iran, Ansarullah, and given intrinsic need to preoccupy their mindless and hate-filled hordes, by continuance of the Annihilation of Arabs, the next Anglo-Zionist phase involves Palestinian “prisoners” (90% of whom are really hostages without charge or due process). This was marked by the new cute gold noose pins, and their parliament passing a law permitting murder of said prisoners. The bloodlust must and will be sated, come what may, until the last Anglo-Zionist elite is dealt with
      • the Zionists, “Christian” and “Jewish”, have since the satanic Gaza ritual condemned and obliterated the post-1941 Atlantic Charter UN system, the attendant international law and courts systems and refugee organizations, all soft power and trust, western MSM, western commercial supply chains and technology (via Lebanese booby trapped pagers, radios and smartphones), and the West itself among all other non-satanic civilizations, and in perpetuity. [the latter points may help explain why they do not mind the hard decoupling with China, or attacking sea tankers, to expand, as damage already done by Zion. Goldfinger merely accelerates the done damage, with the board already overturned by Zion and Biden, and his own first year]
      • naked Colonialism is back, brought into vogue by Pax Barbaria. We see the ostentatious illegal recourse to force in the Caribbean. The ongoing Drang against AES and civilizational-states. And the western populace are this time among the subjugated, marked by break in “rule by consent” and open totalitarianism, by unpopular “leaders” in Europe, CONUS, Argentina, etc. It really is a supranational zionazi gang in charge of the Last Satanic Empire

      ⭕ Seversk Secured: Crucial Momentum Gained in Donbass Liberation, Expert Says

      The fall of Seversk levels the front lines and empowers Russian forces for a decisive advance towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, military analyst Alexey Leonkov told Sputnik.

      Seversk: Eastern Gateway of Slavyansk-Kramatorsk Group

      👊 The city is an integral part of the fortress city line, serving as a primary defensive bulwark for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Leonkov, an editor at Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine said.

      Encirclement & Pressure Mount on Ukrainian Forces

      With Seversk liberated, Ukrainian forces now face significant challenges on the eastern approaches to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. Russian troops are converging from the north (Krasny Liman) and south (Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka), intensifying pressure on the Ukrainian defenses.

      🤐 The silence from Ukrainian propaganda channels regarding this loss underscores its gravity, with the pundit suggesting it is “probably the worst news” for the Kiev regime.

      Demining and security operations are currently underway in the liberated city.

      ‘Cauldrons’ Undermining Ukrainian Military Strength

      Compounding Ukraine’s severe manpower shortages, several of its combat-ready units are reportedly trapped in “cauldrons” across the Donetsk, Kharkov, and Zaporozhye regions.

      One such encirclement is in Dimitrov (Mirnograd), where Ukrainian fighters are described as being doomed despite continued resistance.

      Another is near Kupyansk, from which the Ukrainian army has been unable to break free. A third cauldron is currently forming near Gulyaipole in the Zaporozhye region.
      [the Russian AF may already be on outskirts of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, at least they’ve been FAB-bombing them and dronification up the wazoo. This is the last home stretch of the Donbass, beyond which lie open steppes without serious cover or hope for the nazi internationale.. Hence the prophetic words of Serbia’s Vucic, who noted in summer 2023 (when it had already become clear to the historical that the West had lost this war, and everything since has been delaying tactics), that once the Russian AF reached Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, all hell would break loose. And that’s precisely what we’ve seen with increasing madness and agitation and deranged escalation of the satanic West in last weeks. The taking of Donbass will impose a new Reality on Earth: the collective West has been defeated and their 500-year Order is no more, if they cannot defeat a single country whilst pooling their own and the resources of 50 countries to wage unrestrained totalen krieg..]
      Russian Central Bank Filing Lawsuit Against Euroclear

      “In connection with the illegal actions of the Euroclear depository causing losses to the Bank of Russia, as well as in connection with the mechanisms officially considered by the European Commission for the direct or indirect use of assets […] without the consent of the Bank of Russia, […] a statement of claim is filed with the Arbitration Court of the city of Moscow against the Euroclear depository to recover the losses caused,” the press release said.

      • The regulator clarified that Euroclear’s actions harmed the Central Bank due to its inability to manage assets.
      • The Bank of Russia has called the European Commission’s plans to use the frozen funds illegal, reserves the right to defend the rights without notice and will challenge the EC’s actions in the competent authorities.
      • 👉 The EU, Canada, the US, and Japan froze approximately $300 billion in Russian assets after the start of the special military operation. Of this total, about $5-6 billion are held in the US, while the majority are located in Europe, including around $210 billion at the Euroclear settlement platform in Belgium.
      • Representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry have warned that Moscow will take immediate retaliatory steps if the West confiscates its assets.

      • 📝 Kuwait conducted the multinational air defense exercise “Heavenly Shield” with live-fire tests of Patriot missiles. The maneuvers, aimed at countering drones and strengthening regional partnerships, involved the armed forces of the USA, Bahrain, and the UK.
      • 📊 These exercises, conducted with the participation of Western powers, are positioned as measures to ensure regional security. However, their focus on countering drones, in the context of regional tensions, could be interpreted as preparation for a hypothetical confrontation. The participation of the USA and the UK, which traditionally play an active role in the region, underscores the geopolitical significance of these maneuvers.
      • 🌐 The conduct of such exercises in the Persian Gulf could be perceived as a show of force and increased pressure on independent powers in the region. This could lead to an escalation of tensions and an arms race, rather than the stated goal of strengthening stability.

      • 📊 Restrictions on movement, banking operations, and a ban on work for employees of the Iranian mission violate the UN Headquarters Agreement. Similar problems have arisen before.
      • 🌐 The US’s actions undermine the authority of the UN and call into question Washington’s suitability as the headquarters location. The situation could lead to a further deterioration of relations and a review of the US’s role in international organizations.

      💠 @imetatronink:
      ⭕ I took a lot of heat last week for arguing that the US is running out of economically extractable shale oil reserves — as in only ~5 years worth at current production levels.

      Tracy knows a lot more about these things than I do, and she explains an important aspect here:
      🔻 Tracy Shuchart (𝒞𝒽𝒾 ): Here is my opinion

      This is not the same oil industry that weathered previous boom and bust cycles.

      The shale sector that existed from 2010 through 2019 was fueled by bank financing and private equity capital that funded small independents drilling to generate production growth. That growth attracted more capital and positioned these companies for acquisition by larger operators. That funding model is over. The consolidation wave is complete.

      The buyers have become the operators, and these large integrated companies answer to investors who demand free cash flow, not production growth. When oil prices fall below the threshold needed to generate returns, they will simply stop drilling. There is no desperate small operator drilling to attract the next round of financing anymore. There is no private equity fund backing growth at any cost to capture acreage value.

      What we have now is a mature industry with rational capital discipline, which means the supply response to low prices will be swift and permanent. The wildcatters who kept drilling through $30 oil because they had access to capital are gone. In their place are CFOs who will protect balance sheets over market share. – Tracy Shuchart
      🔻 Randy Clark: She is 100% correct. 45 years in the oil business here. Their top priority now is protecting their dividends and the ability to do share buybacks.
      🔻 Oof: similar to how Tech got taken over by FinanceBros.
      🔻 Chris: The issue is that the US oil industry is about profit first. The national interests of the US doesn’t factor into their calculations.

      This would leave the US in a situation where the US is going to have to import oil from the rest of the world.
      🔻 Mark Thomas 🇿🇦🍉: I suspect they have been running at a loss for sometime and would fold if oil drops under $60, that’s why Trump has just pirated a Venezuelan ship.

      🔻 Lee Slusher: I’ve personally heard people in government and think tanks acknowledge these war game results, log/sealift deficiencies, overmatch in missiles (and everything else), etc. and still insist it’s doable largely because “the Chinese haven’t fought anyone in a long time.” Madness.
      🔻 WS: Well, it is true that China has no experience blowing up wedding parties, pine nut gatherers, and motor boats.
      [he’s left out the hospitals, funerals, farmers, food distribution traps, diplomats invited to “negotiate”, etc etc]
      🔻 JimNorCal: Well, I heard China had trouble with Vietnam and India…
      Seems reasonable to assume they’d be stiff at first … like RU in Ukraine … but yeah I’d worry about our boys
      [I heard the air’s cleaner in northern california.. brisk clean, crystal clear.. less resultant confusion and malaise]
      🔻 WS: China and India last fought a war in 1962. It lasted a month. It was a border skirmish. The Chinese won.

      The China / Vietnam war was in 1979. It also lasted a month, and was also little more than a border skirmish. It produced no decisive result.

      It’s now almost 2026.
      🔻 JimNorCal: I was thinking of a more recent episode
      “In June 2020, a violent clash occurred at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Galwan Valley, where Indian troops reportedly pushed Chinese soldiers over steep cliffs”
      🔻 WS: An unarmed brawl.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: I liked the part about the Biden “dude” going pale after reading it.
      🔻 WS: It’s not like this is breaking news. They have war-gamed against China in its local seas MANY times. And it ALWAYS ends the same: the US loses lots of aircraft and ships, and runs out of their boutique precision-guided munitions in about 72 hours.

      And I think 72 hours is a gross overestimation.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: You’re right. I was going to message you about the Telegraph story today, but then thought “Will wrote about this many times.” 😉
      🔻 iknowgoodthingseth ➕: When you count losses you need to consider how much faster and cheaper China can replenish theirs… then it becomes really sobering.
      🔻 nearspacemanOfficial: If they can’t bomb it with a stealth bomber or using a drone operated 1000’s of miles away, they are fucked. Once the body bags start arriving back it would be game over.
      [who says CONUS deplorables will know? Or will have attention to spare outside their own collapsing footprint?]
      🔻 Lysander, Y Sinwar I am Legend: Missiles making carriers (and all surface ships) obsolete has been in the open for 20 years. Time has only made it more obvious. And if there was still any doubt, Yemen dispelled it. The only surprising thing is that there are high government officials who were surprised.


      🔻 Tony TT: Carrier groups 1000s of miles away from any land protection/land supply and very close to the enemy land mass are sitting ducks waiting to be sunk.

      Imagine a couple of carrier groups with their limited supplies trying to outlast the entire production capacity of China in a war
      🔻 Jes_J_Bel: I also think if we drop even one bomb on China, the American homeland will taste it’s first real retaliatory strikes in modern history. (Hawaii was only a territory after all) Boeing plants would eat missiles for example. The American people aren’t prepared for that.

      Not only would our warships deplete all defensive missiles the moment the battle begins, but our manufacturing base to mass produce them would be utterly dwarfed by what China can produce. There is only one manufacturing super power on Earth and it isn’t America.
      🔻 Steve Carey: Seymour Hersh is still opining about his sources in the Pentagon reporting how damaging the last lot of strikes against Iran were! I thought they were shown to be largely ineffective. The assasinations killed targets but the Iranians appear undaunted!
      🔻 WS: Hersh is a CIA asset. Always has been.
      🔻 WS: As I have stated on many prior occasions, this is absurd silly talk. If the US wants to “kick China out of South America”, the Chinese (and Russians) will kick the US out of the western Pacific.

      Guess who gets the better deal in that trade.

      The US cannot blockade the world.
      🔻 Jack Lamper: Ben Norton broke it down. You really should watch it before you make a judgement.
      🔻 WS: Lots of people vastly overestimate the sustainable power-projection capability of the United States here at the end of 2025.

      They will be proven wrong in a stunning fashion if it is ever put to the test against the Chinese, or the Russians, or even the Iranians.

      Wait and see.
      🔻 Jack Lamper: I’m not talking military power. The US is going to use supply chains to weaken China.
      Every war game the US has done with China has the US losing. 100% losing.
      🔻 WS: Global supply chains cannot be controlled in the manner you apparently imagine without military power.

      🔻 Martin L. Zinn: “It has always been about our natural resources, our oil, our energy, the resources that belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people.”

      And there’s the rub: the real reason behind this “American aggression” is that the United States cannot stand the fact that Venezuela has enormous natural resources that they can’t control.

      And what is shocking is they don’t want to buy it legally (you know—like capitalism). Instead, they want to seize it all and hand it over to @ExxonMobil and @BlackRock (you know—like communism).
      🔻 AKLaserWerx: I read the post and cannot disagree in principle.

      However, the strong always dominate the weak throughout history, ala Rome.

      The question we should ask ourselves is our we closer to 27 BC or 400 AD before Alric shows up?
      🔻 WS: We have arrived at the #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight stage of the rapidly declining empire.

      🔻 Low Voltage 🇺🇲: With full Republican control, the base expects results they can’t deliver. I’m not convinced homeland chaos isn’t the end game.
      🔻 David Ngo: Reuters has sayd Trump plans essentially a oil blockade of Venezuela
      🔻 RuhRoh: Time will tell, they did just deploy specialized SEAD squadrons to the area, but if they don’t do anything by this weekend then I think it’s gonna be a drawdown in January
      🔻 WS: At this point, I think there is ZERO possibility they will risk flag-draped coffins arriving home for Christmas.
      🔻 S. Oliver🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸: Maduro should ask Trump how many pirated oil tankers it would take to get the US Navy to sail back to base.
      🔻 Armchair Warlord: There’s a huge amount of preparatory work that would need to be done to move on Venezuela in any serious way that simply hasn’t been done. Trump is very much aiming for public-relations impact on the domestic audience over any kind of real strategic effects in that theater.
      🔻 WS: Well, at least the sailors and Marines are being shown a good time as they rotate in and out of sunny Caribbean port cities. The crew of the USS Stumbling Gerry got over a week in St. Thomas.

      I figure they’ll eventually launch a few Tomahawks and proclaim victory of some sort.
      🔻 TonyBananas 🇺🇸: They have to kill Maduro to claim victory. They’ve been claiming thats their goal.
      [he must be plagued by foggy weather too, driving him bananas]
      🔻 WS: Tra il dire e il fare, c’è di mezzo il mare.
      🔻 Andrzej Roslanowski: Instead of all-out war, why not just seize an enemy tanker every few months? It’s modern tribute.
      They pay the “avoid war” tax in oil, we get free fuel + humiliation points, and everyone saves face by claiming they’re “winning.”

      🔻 WS: The US imports over 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil annually.
      🔻 Oz Veteran: Why would Iran import oil when it exports oil?
      🔻 WS: Why does the US import more oil than it exports?

      🔻 BenLayZenji: It’s “Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football” yet once again. Schiller was right: “Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain.” Open, flagrant looting, with hardly a fig-leaf to cover it up.
      🔻 Balando con Lobos: message creep…in a month or two we’ll probably be hearing about a nuclear or chemical weapons program.


      🔻 Amerikanets 📉: They risk being on the hook for a $200 billion liability, the destruction of the European banking system, and face decades of legal action for no upside whatsoever
      [but Hate and Messianism are even headier drugs than Pervitin..]
      🔻 Legalism With Yugoslav Characteristics: Euroclear which afaik holds most of those assets is based in Belgium, and somehow the Belgian government isn’t quite as suicidal as ze Tschörmans would like them to be
      🔻 Soren: Tbh that’s not really the reason, the reason they refuse to do it is because if Russia takes them to court and Russia wins Belgium is on the hook for the whole amount themselves and the other EU countries refuse to sign anything that will share the liability. So basically all the other countries demands that Belgium should take the whole liability for themselves and then they scorn them in public when they refuse.
      🔻 WS: The two things are not mutually exclusive. Both will happen. But the cessation of the Euro as a reserve currency will be much more significant and damaging to both Belgium and the entire Eurozone.
      🔻 New World Order: When Ukraine finally accepts that it has lost Belgium will have to pay it back, investors will never trust Belgium again and also they are would ruin a nice side hustle of stealing the profits from the interest.

      France also has €18bn Russian but won’t tell the EU where it is
      🔻 Josef Gether: Euroclear controls about 46 trillion EUR of 90 countries. If they steal Ru’s assets their reputation is cooked. This could bring down the whole european banking system. (No, not every country agrees with the EU’s interpretation of the conflict, not even close…)
      🔻 Hantu: Because, I’ll keep it simple. If banks can steal a foreign country’s reserves it means the collapse of the entire Western banking system. The west will improve overnight
      🔻 New Sage: Have you ever been trusted with someone else’s money or asset? Did you then spend it or use it for a third party’s convenience? If yes, what did you say or do when the owner came for it?
      🔻 Raspy Camper: Weird how people stop trusting thieves.


      🔻 MARVIS: Silver is over the roof Will! Is it WWIII?
      🔻 WS: The Last World War is already well underway. It just doesn’t look the way most people expected. At least not yet.

      🔻 Decelerationist1: Sal consistently argues in bad faith to support the outlaw empire
      🔻 Martin L. Zinn: This is simply American imperialism.

      Your so-called “sanctions,” correctly described by the United Nations as unilateral coercive measures, have had a devastating humanitarian impact on all categories of human rights in the targeted countries. They harm economic and social conditions, undermine access to health care and education, and even threaten the right to life itself.

      It is barbaric, immoral, and contrary to international law. |link|

      – Commandeer. We’re going to commandeer that tanker. Nautical term.


      🔻 WS: I figure they could muster at least one light-infantry brigade, and possibly two, depending on how many willing Transnistrian reserves they could gather.

      I don’t know how many artillery tubes they have, but they have plenty of ammo. 😏
      🔻 Armchair Warlord: They could probably get a division out of Transnistria for an operation if they mobilized reserves. They have five brigades on paper and there’s no reason to think that’s theoretical close to four years into this war.
      🔻 WS: Yeah, but they can’t leave the arsenal undefended. That’s why I limited my estimate to two brigades. Still, your point is well-taken. They could field a non-trivial force from that vector.

      I’ve long argued Odessa will fall more or less without a fight.
      🔻 Armchair Warlord: It’s the kind of maneuver the Russians would do once the front is already collapsing in the east and they have an operationally realistic chance of making a linkup – perhaps via amphibious assault.
      🔻 Doimo Manu: What is important is that the whole “oblast” south of Odessa can be cut in half with not too much force needed, but to hold it is another issue. For such an op to succeed, a massive heli landing would be required, synced with missiles and drones. Naval forces are coming latest.
      🔻 WS: Meh. I don’t believe anyone is going to risk a helicopter assault these days. If the Russians get across the Dnieper in force, it will be enough to encourage any remaining Ukrainian troops in Odessa to raise the white flag.
      🔻 Doimo Manu: So is the hope. I do not see D-Day-like action there, so maybe a heli or airdrops might work – big if.
      And you are probably right – Odessa is traditionally liberated from the northeast direction. However, Izmail is more important for Russia than Odessa from the strategic view.
      🔻 WS: From early 2022 I have been saying the Russians will not have established sufficient strategic depth until they soak their feet in the Danube.
