    ⭕ Donald Trump in his victory address at Palm Beach, Florida: “I want to be the first one to congratulate — now I can say Vice President- elect JD Vance. And his remarkable and beautiful wife, Usha Vance.”
    [What a reality show package! Better than Dallas & Dynasty combined. Does India have a chance, given the Anglo full court press, and their own expat diaspora – being tossed simultaneous carrots like this, and sticks via Canada, coups and wars in neighbors Bangladesh & Myanmar, and sanctions?]
    ⭕ 🔻 Modi: Had a great conversation with my friend, President @realDonaldTrump, congratulating him on his spectacular victory. Looking forward to working closely together once again to further strengthen India-US relations across technology, defence, energy, space and several other sectors.
    🔻 MKB: Sun is shining through, scattering the dark clouds that began gathering through past year – Trump is in the White House, God is in the heavens, and all’s well with US-Indian ties. BTW,Trump always thought poorly about Trudeau. Remember the G7 summit in Quebec in June 2018?
    ⭕ retweet:
    China isn’t going to invade Taiwan anytime soon if that is what you meant. Unless Taiwan declares independence or the US gets into a WW3 with Russia or Iran, China will probably take it slow

    ⭕ Israel drone killed 3 people (2 women and a man of the same family) on a Lebanese army checkpoint in Sidon, south of #Lebanon and fired its missiles next to a @UNIFIL_ #Malaysia patrol driving nearby on purpose. 4 @UN personnel were wounded along with 3 Lebanese army members. [recall Malaysia boycotts Israhell and just called for the nazis’ eviction from the UN (using article 6?)]
    ⭕ Hezbollah, defeated and destroyed by #Israel, launches over 150 rockets, missiles and drones every day and can maintain this rhythm for at least two years. I can’t imagine what Hezbollah would have done if it hadn’t been defeated and destroyed.

    ⭕ And here we are in a new global TV series with its ups and downs. A sort of “Dallas” with more steroids and more power… [Well said. The proles, worldwide, shall be entertained unto their Rapture! Precisely why the Don was needed and emplaced. A rolling, running, tireless soap act]
    ⭕ The world is in such a state of perdition that we’ve reached an ubiquitous situation: everyone is counting on Trump to consolidate their position. This applies to the entire political spectrum, from extreme to extreme, and to all camps. Trump has thus become the ultimate multi-purpose marketing product that everyone can adapt to their own interests and views…
    It’s a stock market product!
    [Trump is the last hit of a favored drug by hopeless narcissists! Or the last fling with a high priced callgirl.]
    Romanian President Klaus Lohannis (who looks almost nothing like a Romanian) came to Hungary and refused to greet his Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orban, Head of State of the host country, ostentatiously turning his back on him as he got out of the car. Orban chuckled to himself.
    Diplomacy in 2024 has been reduced to this. It’s a regression to kindergarten.  |media|
    [This sums up European values, self-reflection and position in the world atm; a sordid emulation of their master, “the Ugly American.” He doesn’t look Romanian as he’s a German from their diaspora. And this diaspora is projected to increase, dramatically]

    💠West must face reality on Ukraine – Shoigu.

    💠@Middle East Spectator:
    ⭕ 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.

    ⭕ — 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei:

    ‘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.
    [keep in mind the nebulous, ever-shifting definition of “terrorism” by zionazis. Even not kowtowing like Trump and Europoodles can be seen as infringement on the prerogatives of the Chosen]

    ⭕ 🇹🇷 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.

    💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
    ⭕ The Islamic Resistance of Iraq announced today 7 drone attacks against targets in Israel, including 3 in the Haifa area.
    [this was yesterday, Nov 06. Iraqi Resistance roams where it wills throughout Zion now, from northern Haifa to southern Eilat; from western gas platforms in the East Med Sea to the eastern Dead Sea outposts… And they wield the best of Iranian cruise missiles and drones, not to mention ISR, and attrit, attrit, attrit, a little each day with painful blows]
    ⭕ A senior Hamas official said Donald Trump will be tested for his claims that he can stop the war within hours as US president.

    “We urge Trump to learn from Biden’s mistakes,” he added.
    [LOL. cheeky. the littlest Resistance member points a finger and wags it! We love this “new normal.”]
    Hezbollah said it attacked the Tzrifin military base, located south of Ben-Gurion Airport.

    Israeli sources say the base houses several army units, including training schools and a logistics center.
    [this was yesterday, another qualitative move by Hezbollah per Laith; they had targeted the air cadets’ school… critical to maintenance of their last lifeline of air superiority…]
    ⭕ Israeli airstrikes were reported in southern Beirut.
    Israeli attacks in Baalbek left 30 dead and 35 wounded, according to the governor of the eastern Lebanon region.
    [yes, that strike on the air cadets really hurt. They lash out in rage against civilians, as usual. There are plenty more such painful blows to come from Resistance..]

    💠@kuluary_zaliva (В кулуарах Залива):
    US demands Iraq to prevent Iranian attack

    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.”

    ⭕ When the late Cuban President Fidel Castro was asked about the American elections in 1960 and whether he preferred Nixon or Kennedy, he gave a brilliant response, saying: “You cannot compare two shoes worn by the same person!

    The truth is that America is governed by only one party, which is the Zionist Party, with two wings: the Republican wing representing the hardline Zionist power, and the Democratic wing representing the softer Zionist influence.

    Therefore, there is no difference.
    ⭕ The leader of Ansar Allah, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, in a previous speech, described the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, when it gifted Trump $400 billion, as the “milking cow, which has been milked so much that its udder aches!”
    ⭕ 🇾🇪🔻 If they open fronts in Yemen serving the West, we do not want anyone to say that it is a conflict between Muslims. By God, we will not show mercy to them, especially to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
    ⭕ 🇾🇪🔻 The electronic disinformation agents and media affiliated with the Saudi enemy and its mercenaries are ramping up their misleading media campaigns by disseminating false claims about the cessation of Yemeni operations in the Red Sea. This is happening against a backdrop of a complete lack of movement from American, British, and Israeli commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
    [LOL. An Empire of Lies to the bitter end. They force a stop of their flagged ships and then pretend Yemenis began a unilateral ceasefire, and out of fear of Trump! (!!!) Who will entertain us when the Last Satanic Empire bites the Dust??]
    ⭕ National Delegation member Abdel Malik Al-Ajri comments on the race of countries to congratulate Trump – “In the race of congratulations and greetings, we congratulate Hezbollah on the remarkable escalation of its operations in the heart of the entity.”
    ⭕ Washington Post – For the first time since the early weeks of the war in Gaza, the United States will not have an aircraft carrier nearby in the region, and this change coincides with a shortage of weapons that has left the military poorly deployed.
    [so they didn’t even wait for mid-November as previously announced, but flew for their lives given what comes now!]

    this entire dumpster team reminds me of a limited hangout, a bunch of flowered and dapper clowns playing their part in the terminal Breads & Circuses.

    If they were in the slightest serious, they would not announce their plans against the most powerful imperial forces that had established in 2020 a ritual to top 911 or Pearl Harbor! These are first rate criminal cabals that will never permit any to “smash them into 1,000 pieces.” And to the same result as last time.

    Indeed, it can be argued the ease and magnitude of their “selection” win indicates the fix is in – they should receive the Saddam or Diem treatment as a brutal Iron Man rises.

    The cheeky and naive exuberance of their publicly voiced intentions is plagiarized off the World Wrestling Federation, or whatever they call themselves nowadays. A sad follow-on to “Q” from last time, and which will similarly be gobbled by the same wistful and unimaginative turkeys..

    Let them spin narratives and amuse themselves as they circle the drain. Thank God we no longer depend on the largesse of imperial self-correction to effect meaningful change worldwide. And the Rest of Humanity no longer has any need for fiction or movies – they shall be entertained by this 24/7 wild freak show!

    💠@imetatronink:
    ‼️ 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|
    /sarcasm
    🔻 WS: It does occur to me that, when major league lawfare and rookie league hit jobs fail … well, things are more likely than not to go from bad to worse.
    ⭕🔻 HistoryLegends: Question: why does the Ukrainian Army continue to create new brigades when existing units face a severe shortage in manpower?
    🔻 Armchair Warlord: For the same reason the Wehrmacht had panzer “divisions” in 1945 with a dozen tanks.
    🔻 WS: History is hard.

    ⭕ Democrats acting as if Harris losing is the end of the civilized world as we know it, all while as VP she is arming “Israel” committing a genocide in Gaza, launching war on Lebanon, attacking Syria, Yemen and Iran.

    “Israel” literally set precedent to new crimes under Biden-Harris admin in just one year.

    💠 @Sputnik Africa:
    ⭕ 📌 Major world events by the morning of November 7

    • The Russian military destroyed 5 Ukrainian drones overnight, 14 of them over the Russian Voronezh region and one over the country’s Belgorod region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported;
    • The Israeli Air Force struck the Ouzai district near the Beirut International Airport in Lebanon;

    ⭕ 🇺🇸 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.
    [And this is how the unwise Egyptian Ox is kept pinned, even as the sharpened knives finish off the Palestinians and position his still living carcass over the Abattoir chute. They’re as transfixed by the elephants as the Europeans were by the donkeys. Sad]
    ⭕ 🌍🇺🇸 “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.
    ⭕ ❗️Russian troops liberated the settlement of Kremennaya Balka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the country’s MoD reports

    More key statements from the ministry’s daily briefing:

    • The Russian Armed Forces hit a military airfield, storage and preparation sites for launching drones, and warehouses of missile and artillery weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
    • Russian air defenses shot down 55 Ukrainian aircraft-type drones;
    • The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 2 ammunition depots.

    💠@ejmalrai:
    ⭕ With this precision missile, #Hezbollah is deploying advanced weaponry that #Israel cannot intercept, underscoring its readiness for a long war. It reveals Hezbollah’s calculated approach, suggesting a significant reserve of other missiles yet unveiled. |media|

    ⭕ Hezbollah leader Qassem said no where in Israel would be “off limits” to attacks. Israel is “betting on prolonging the war so it becomes a war of attrition… We are ready,” he said.
    ⭕ Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), prepare your wallets; Trump is coming.
    ⭕ Your ‘relief’ over a leader with questionable stability says more about the shortsightedness of certain Gulf capitals and their ‘analysts’ than it does about any meaningful gains for the region. Praising Trump’s recklessness as a ‘strength’ and backing (a war criminal per the ICJ) Netanyahu’s (and yours) fixation on Iran shows a preference for volatility over diplomacy. If your solution to complex geopolitical challenges is cheering on hawkish grandstanding and destabilising aggression, then you and the region have learned nothing from decades of conflict. Real progress doesn’t come from fanning flames with dangerous alliances, and the ‘victories’ you celebrate only pave the way for more needless suffering, sanctions and wars.
    [proper response to some arab liberal or arab zionazi. As with Europe, they shall go down with the USUK Titanic…]
    ⭕ The #US deployed to the Middle East a squadron F-15E Strike Eagle (a squadron consists of 12 to 24 aircraft, depending on the mission and aircraft type) in response to potential Iranian retaliation to the Israeli aggression. This means the US would be participating and supporting an Israeli strike on #Iran after the Iranian retaliation.

    With conformal fuel tanks and the ability to carry extra fuel pods, the F-15E can reach extended ranges suitable for regional deployments. It has a high payload capacity, supporting precision-guided munitions like the GBU-31 JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) and the GBU-39 SDB (Small Diameter Bomb).

    [this would complete the ethnic cleansing of occupied Palestine from those not cleared in 1948 — whether into Gaza, WB, or abroad back then during “the Nakba”] 
    ⭕The Israeli Knesset approved a law allowing the court to try and imprison any Palestinian under the age of 14, after approving a law to expel all Palestinian resistance family members.

    Exactly. It ain’t quite what most expected – orangeman made it to Election in one piece and an actual one was held.

    But the fat lady hasn’t sung. He’s got to make it in at least one big piece by Jan 20 and even then zionazis and Pompeo and Rapturists infest his posse.

    Perhaps they held off on the civil war front as the foreign policy is so FUBAR’ed and they do not quite have the resources or handle to manage both. Or he could be like Lula on Steroids — a “get out of jail” menu of catastrophes duly signed and ready to be unfurled on January 21

    ⭕ 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.

    ⭕ 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.

    “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?”

    The title of this piece quotes Trump i think. All hope for peace, even Russkies are sending out hopeful feelers.

    Trump: “I’m not gonna start a war, I’m gonna stop wars”

    1 Thessalonians 5:3: “When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”

    Remember this is the creature directly responsible for fusing Armageddon through ramming through the “Abraham Accords.” Everything happening in the Holy Land today was emboldened by this surrender of the desert bedouins, along with Egypt & Jordan.

    And he kept priming the conflagration by periodically asking the zionazis “to finish” the extermination, and Zion is so tiny (and with expanding hand gesture indicating need for Greater Israel).

    I pity the deluded who think he’ll bring peace! He is accorded “the honor” of the Last American President — like Bibi the Last Zionist Prez by the Rebbe — by the occult satanists for the same reason…….

    ⭕️ ☠️ Pick Your Poison

    Those who believe Trump is an “antiwar” candidate have conveniently forgotten what happened during his first administration:

    • the arming and training of #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies in Ukraine was expanded and accelerated;
    • several covert US bases and bioweapons labs were built in Ukraine;
    • massive US missile strikes were launched against Syria;
    • Iranian general Qasem Soleimani was assassinated by a drone strike in Baghdad.

    A second Trump presidency is certain to be AT LEAST as geopolitically and militarily reckless as the first. I am convinced the US will blunder into a military disaster and suffer a shocking defeat.
    Of course, a Kamala Harris presidency will lead to the same outcome.
    So … pick your poison. ☠️
    🔻 C1: Everything you state is true my friend; however, I disagree. Trump is the best antiwar candidate in the race. Most countries understand one thing – strength. Weakness will always be exploited. Strength equals peace
    🔻 WS: How exactly is Trump — or anyone else, for that matter — going to conjure “strength” from a rapidly deteriorating and irreversible state of US soft and hard power decline?

    Sorry, but I submit the trajectory of events is set in stone.

    alea iacta est
    🔻 C1: Damn it Will – you make a strong argument as usual. I can only speak from experience, which is not as solid as I wish it was. Foreign leaders recognize strength. Trump projects power. Yes, the soft and hard power of the U.S. had declined. But how did Putin reverse the decline?
    🔻 WS: Putin has reversed the decline in Russia over the course of a quarter century since he commenced in earnest to do so.

    When I discern an earnest commencement to do so in the US, I suspect it will take at least that long to achieve
    🔻 C2: What was the date of the Soleimani hit? Right before he left office. The entire Russia collusion ploy to knee cap his term had a chilling effect, wouldn’t it? He made horrible choices (Pompeo/Bolton) and I agree his Syria policy is all wrong. Tulsi might be a factor this time.
    🔻 WS: Soleimani strike: January 3, 2020 — over a year before Trump left office.

    Pompeo will probably be made Secretary of Defense.

    Lindsey Graham has Trump’s ear.

    Gabbard is gung ho for war against Iran.

    🔻 WS: Believe what you will. She has strongly backed Israel over the past year+, and supported the idea of the US/Israel acting in concert to defeat Iran’s regional dominance in the Levant/Persian Gulf region.

    She doesn’t understand how the world has changed.

    ⭕ Israel’s Systematic Targeting of Children and Healthcare: A Policy Replicated in Lebanon

    Since October 4, the Israeli military has killed at least one child and injured 10 daily in Lebanon, according to UNICEF, but the real numbers are likely higher by the dozens. The World Health Organization reports at least 55 verified attacks on healthcare workers and facilities in Lebanon by Israel.

    A recent CNN investigation analyzed over 240 airstrikes in Lebanon, revealing that at least 24 hospitals are within a 500-meter ‘danger zone’ designated by the Israeli military. Israel dropped munitions within a lethal range of 340 meters from at least 19 hospitals.

    In Beirut and its southern suburbs, CNN confirmed that 10 hospitals fell within the ‘kill zone,’ where bomb fragments can cause fatalities. Nine hospitals have been damaged, three of which closed due to Israeli strikes since September 23. Lebanon’s health ministry indicates that about 20% of hospitals in the country have been affected.

    Israeli strikes have also killed at least 12 Lebanese Civil Defense first responders and 16 Lebanese Red Cross paramedics. Overall, since September 23, Israel has killed at least 111 emergency medical technicians, struck 107 ambulances, and damaged 34 hospitals.

    ⭕ 🔸 This is how “Um al-Dunya” has become in the era of Ibn al-Raqasa.

    Yemen prevents any ship that supports the Zionist entity, while Egypt allows ships carrying explosive materials to pass through to the entity and also permits Zionist warships to transit through the Suez Canal. To what level has Egypt, “Um al-Dunya,” reached in terms of decline and betrayal?
    [“Um al-Dunya,” is the self-styled nickname of Egypt, meaning “the mother of the world”, as they’re one of the oldest civilizations extant since the Flood. The betrayal of Egypt is sad. Not surprising in the others, but the Fall of Egypt is historic]
    ⭕️ 🌐 The escalation of America, Britain, and Israel against Yemen is not an inevitable matter, but rather a very likely possibility based on ten certainties:

    1. The continuation of the Zionist entity’s war and aggression against Gaza and Lebanon!
    2. Yemen’s ongoing military support for Gaza and Lebanon, both in the air and at sea!
    3. Yemen’s complete military and logistical readiness to face any upcoming escalation!
    4. The participation of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and their mercenaries!
    5. The collapse of the truce between Yemen on one side, and Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the mercenaries on the other!
    6. The igniting of fires in all oil wells in Saudi Arabia and the UAE!
    7. The collective awareness among the Arab street, recognizing that the war on Yemen is due to its support for Gaza and Lebanon!
    8. The clarity of vision within society and the fall of the neutrality option, imposing a single equation with no alternatives: either with Yemen and the Muslims in Gaza and Lebanon, or with America, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the UAE, and their mercenaries!
    9. The ineffectiveness of any innovative propaganda titles that Saudi Arabia and its mercenaries will try to create and operate under, not to mention their attempts to recycle worn-out narratives such as ending the coup, confronting the Persian tide, and defending the companions, etc.!
    10. With God’s help, the methodology of the Quran, the wisdom and faith of the Yemeni people, and their steadfastness under the leadership of the righteous scholar Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, Yemen will prevail!

    ⭕ 🌐 If the Saudi and Emirati knew what Yemen has prepared for them in terms of preparations if they were to engage in aggression against the country, they would quickly announce their disavowal from America and Israel.
    [Don’t be sad about Brazil and South Africa, folks! There are far worse inside BRICS. Real Trojan horses, and enemies of humanity.]

    💠 @ejmalrai:
    ⭕ The commander of the Israeli army’s Northern Command, Ori Gordin, shouted the word ‘Hezbollah’ as he drove into Lebanon while reading a report on the heavy casualties suffered by his forces. His driver thought his commanders were warning him of Hezbollah’s proximity, so he veered off the road and panicked. Gordin came out with some injuries that were less serious than if he had been confronted by Ridwan’s forces (sarcasm).

    ☝️ wow. Do the Limeys read this thread? They’re going “incognito” in a hurry, catching up with the Yanks! Under how many comely dyed skirts can they hide? Panic sets in. It is pointless to try to “whitewash” a Sea of High Crimes at this point! And the Götterdämmerung is upon them

    “It is clear that the United States will not transfer nuclear weapons to Kiev. If the Zelensky / Budanov plan is adopted, all the work on the strike will be done by American specialists, who will control the warheads.

    By the way, the appearance of a large number of American special forces on the territory of Ukraine, some of which are at the front, and most of them are in the deep rear, may be caused by the need to first study the possibilities of covert delivery, deployment and subsequent use of nuclear weapons.”


    ☝️ the title of this piece says it all. “CHINESE BUYERS DITCHING GERMAN CARS FOR LOCAL BRANDS”. For every Drang, there’s a reaction. German auto is dying not only due to uncompetitiveness from lack of cheaper Russian fuels, but Chinese boomerangs:  as West raised protectionist tariffs against dominant Chinese EVs, Chinese consumers start to retaliate, lol. And they also see German hypocrisy and crimes in 404 and the Holy Land..

    ⭕ 🛑| 🇱🇧🇮🇶🇺🇸 The US has blocked Iraqi Airways from establishing a medical air bridge to Beirut, requiring aid to first pass through Jordan, where the CIA can inspect the plane & passengers.

    It also threatened sanctions on other airlines if they transport injured patients from Israel’s attacks. They also reportedly receive passenger lists from Beirut airport via IATA.

    ➡️ Just imagine if the roles were reversed, the amount of media propaganda would’ve blown off the roof.
    ⭕ 🇮🇷🇮🇷| IRGC Spokesman:

    “Sometimes during war, ambiguity and silence are a strategy. All the comments that were made about General Qa’ani [couple weeks ago where they said he was either dead & became a spy] were aimed at changing the balance of power in the field.

    They seek our commenting on commanders, which helps the enemy to gain information.

    For example, Martyr Soleimani never had a chance to give a TV interview or speech during the 33-day war.”

    ⭕ 🔻 Between 50 killed and wounded among the ranks of the Zionist occupation soldiers today in battles in the Gaza Strip, and there is a severe media blackout imposed by the Israeli government.
