The Economist’s Prophetic Cover is Decoded:
https://m.tsargrad.tv/news/putin-s-trampom-si-i-bajden-porozn-prorocheskaja-oblozhka-the-economist-rasshifrovana_909492
On the cover there is Zelensky, over which” hung ” shells and the silhouette of a stranger. He looks at Putin through an hourglass. Images of Putin and Zelensky are flanked by space rockets and satellites, and below that is a ballot box. According to the magazine, in 2024, more than 70 elections will be held in countries with about 4.2 billion people.

The ballot box means that Zelensky, Putin, and Biden are up for election. As for Xi Jinping, he just finished the election, and successfully. The hourglass just shows that everyone’s time is running out. And for Xi Jinping, that time is already going backwards.

On the right side of the cover is a fall chart with four currency symbols-pound sterling, euro, dollar and yuan.

The question of currency is what will be the main one in the future. We have come to the conclusion that in 2024 there should be a clear definition of which currency will begin to pull the blanket over itself if the dollar does not stand up. And he, apparently, will not resist. Anyway, I can see that this is a cover for the whole year, so it’s natural that we will see this chart, the rise or fall of currencies.

Brain Drain:
To the left of the urn are brains with wires-probably a hint of a new breakthrough in the development of AI, but at the same time we see how information is being “pumped” out of the human brain.

This is artificial intelligence. At the same time, there is a brain drain, I would say. Brains are running out, and the essence of artificial intelligence will probably be based on the fact that the human brain should be the main one here for now, and artificial intelligence should be trained.

Russia will bring peace:
At the same time, Zelensky is on a red background, and Putin is on a blue one. The bird carries a branch for the red background, i.e. for Ukraine. This is not just world peace, but purposefully Putin is working to bring peace to Ukraine. There are ballistic missiles near Zelensky. But he would like long-range, the most dangerous for Russia.

Mysterious circles:
According to Koshkin, the characteristic feature of this picture is an eclipse, and getting out of it may mean enlightenment in relations between Russia and Ukraine.

The eclipse occurs in the center, and then again the relationship is enlightened. Prospects for the development of relations between Ukraine and Russia.

It is worth noting that the section between the equatorial visualization and the lower belt is shown below, but here the circles already have red and blue colors, he added.

Blue is the US, red is China. But they also interact very actively here. But in the center of the question, how will the confrontation between the United States and China end? At the same time, there is just a dark circle on top. That is, we must go through the dark days, and then the dove of peace will still change the situation.

Containing China:
I think that China wants to integrate Latin America, that is, China wants to go to the backyard of the United States, and the United States wants to go to the backyard of China – in order to contain. And we see the battery. On the one hand, it is a fuel supply of the car, on the other hand-the transition to climate-friendly conditions. Probably, these rare-earth fossils from below-this is uranium and all that stuff-again characterize China’s desire to find itself in economic power for the whole world. In Biden’s squares, we see the same thing, a green economy, but these are wind farms-therefore, wind turbines that generate electricity, and it is delivered all over the world.

Palestine
by Mahmoud Darwish

This land gives us
all that makes life worth living:
April’s blushing advances,
the aroma of bread at dawn,
a woman’s haranguing of men,
the poetry of Aeschylus,
love’s trembling beginning,
moss on a stone
mothers dancing on a flute’s thread
and the invaders’ fear of memories.

This land give us
all that makes life worth living:
September’s rustling end,
a woman leaving forty behind with her apricots,
an hour of sunlight in prison,
clouds reflecting swarms of insects,
a people’s applause for those who laugh at their erasure,
and the tyrant’s fear of songs.

This land give us
all that makes life worth living:
Lady Earth, mother of all beginnings and endings,
She was called Palestine
and she is still called Palestine.
My Lady, because you are my Lady, I deserve life.

It is interesting that a possible ceasefire in Gaza could be fraught with greater troubles for Israel than the continuation of hostilities. The question is the conditions. For now we are talking about a truce for the exchange of prisoners, but given the pressure from some forces in the States and quite significant – in Europe this truce may drag on and turn into a stable one – it will be more difficult to resume attacks every day.

This, in turn, will mean the need to wind down the mobilized army (the burden on the economy is already great) and declare the operation terminated – and then Hamas will retain power.

And the problem here is not that, as the State Department previously warned, “Hamas will be able to get a break, rest and rearm,” but that maintaining the movement in power in the sector will be perceived as Israel’s inability to cope with its weakest enemy today. The strongest will have a significant temptation and soon the region may become even hotter.

▪️Turkish journalist Metin Cihan published a list of 260 commercial cargo ships that sailed to Israel from Turkey after the bombing of the Gaza Strip began.
The journalist also reported that the volume of supplies from Turkey to Israel began to increase, for example yesterday it was already 13 ships, and on average since October 7 Seven commercial ships loaded with goods sailed from Turkey to Israel.

▪️All internet and telecommunications are cut off in the Gaza Strip while IDF tanks surround Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital. Israel continues to accuse Hamas of using medical facilities as bases – Red Cross.

▪️ Media have called into question the Zionist Israeli regime’s military claim on the existence of tunnels under the Gaza main hospital, with CNN saying that no evidence yet of a vast tunnel network it claimed was used by Hamas.
▪️Doctors and health officials in the Hamas-controlled enclave have consistently rejected accusations that the hospital was the site of a command center.
▪️ There is certainly no indication yet that troops have uncovered a multi-level tunnel structure with underground chambers — of the kind illustrated in an animation presented by the Zionist regime army spokesman at a briefing almost three weeks ago.
▪️ Hamas responded to earlier comments from the Israeli army – that troops had found weapons inside the hospital – as a blatant lie and propaganda.

“Product 30” gave the Su-57 a number of important advantages:
https://m.vz.ru/society/2023/11/15/1239775.html
Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 began to equip the engine of the second stage (“Product 30”). One of its main features is that it develops supersonic speed without turning on the afterburner. This not only reduces fuel consumption, but also increases the combat radius of the aircraft.

In the first ground launch of the “Product 30” demonstrator engine, compared to the AL-41F1, the Product 30 increased the thrust from nine tons (in afterburner mode) to 17.5-19.5 tons. The engine itself is characterized with increased fuel efficiency and reduced life cycle cost. According to Evgeny Marchukov, General Designer and Director of the Lyulka Design Bureau, the Product 30 will surpass all foreign analogues in terms of specific thrust.

From the technical features, it is also known that the oxygen-free ignition system on the upgraded injectors ignites the fuel immediately after it enters the combustion chamber, and the new nozzles control the thrust vector. The expert community agrees that

With the second-stage engine, the Su-57 gets a number of undeniable advantages. In addition, this achievement allows Russia to remain among the great powers leading in the engine industry.
“This engine improves specific readings both in terms of thrust and fuel consumption. There were reports that the plane’s visibility indicators might change. But one of the fundamental issues is to provide cruising supersonics without turning on the afterburner, which will allow you to quickly and secretly reach the borders of the use of weapons. This is especially important when performing missions over vast areas, ” says Oleg Panteleev, Executive Director of the Aviaport Agency.

Erdogan again called Israel a terrorist state and assured that Israel’s plans would end in disappointment.
Meanwhile, in the Islamic segment of social networks, rumors are spreading about a new attempt to organize the ” Freedom Flotilla ” with the support of Turkey, in order to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip, is reaching the finish line.

Erdogan could simply block the oil pipeline connecting Israel and Azerbaijan. All the while the Turkish president is shouting that the Israelis are killing innocent children in Gaza, fuel is flowing through his country into the Jewish state for the IDF, which is bombing these very children. At the same time, Baku provides ~40% of oil for Israel.

Turkey’s steel industry plays a significant role in the global market, especially in trade relations with Israel. Whenever there is fighting involving Israel (such as the current war with the Gaza Strip), most of the steel used in Israeli munitions comes from Turkey.

📈The dynamics of trade between the two countries have changed significantly since 2002, when the Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power. Over the past 20 years, Turkish steel has meant a lot to Israel. Turkey’s steel sector is experiencing rapid growth in exports to Israel, highlighting its strategic importance.
In 2022, Turkish steel exports reached $21 billion, with Israel accounting for 10%.
Over the past 20 years, Turkey has accounted for 65% of the steel imported into Israel.
Trade between Turkey and Israel has only been growing since the AKP came to power (2002).

Another failure of Israeli propaganda. It turned out that the “Hamas bunker” under Shifa Hospital is actually an Israeli bunker built under the Al-Shifa compound back in 1983, when Israel occupied the Gaza Strip.
This is why the Israelis were so sure that there was something under the hospital.

Back in 1983, when Israel still controlled the Gaza Strip, it built a secure underground operating room and network of tunnels under the Shifa Hospital and a cement basement under the second building of the hospital, which journalists are expressly prohibited from entering.

Forwarded from Zergulio:
“The IDF publishes footage of the bombing of the parliament building in Gaza, where fighters had previously been photographed after its capture.
A very significant and symbolic gesture. Israel clearly shows that there will no longer be state and order in this territory. Just a wasteland.”

The White House says that the United States did not “give the go-ahead” for Israel to storm Al-Shifa Hospital, LOL 😄

“Mein Kampf in Gaza and ISIS Flags in Israel? Israeli Hasbara is Falling Apart”
By Ramzy Baroud & Romana Rubeo
https://www.palestinechronicle.com/mein-kampf-in-gaza-and-isis-flags-in-israel-israeli-hasbara-is-falling-apart/#
▪️A common joke among Palestinians these days is that Israeli leaders are emulating Arab leaders in previous Arab-Israeli wars, in terms of language, phony victories and unsubstantiated gains on the military front.
▪️Abu Obeida and Abu Hamza, military spokesmen for the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades respectively, provide very careful accounts of the nature of the battle and the losses of advancing Israeli military forces in their regular, much-anticipated statements.
▪️The Israeli military, on the other hand, speaks of impending victories, killing of unnamed ‘terrorists’ and destruction of countless tunnels, while rarely providing any evidence. The only ‘evidence’ provided is the intentional targeting of hospitals, schools and civilian homes.
▪️And, while Abu Obeida’s statements are almost always followed by well-produced videos, documenting the systematic destruction of Israeli tanks, no such documentation substantiates Israeli military claims.

There are reasons why Israeli propaganda is no longer able to effectively influence public opinion even though mainstream media continues to side with Israel, even when the latter is committing a genocide.
▪️Firstly, is that Palestinians and their supporters have managed to ‘cancel’ Israel using social media which, for the first time, overwhelmed the organized propaganda campaigns often engineered on behalf of Israel in corporate media.
▪️Secondly, independent media, Palestinian and others, offered alternatives to those seeking a different version of events to what is taking place in Gaza.
▪️Thirdly, the ‘surprise attack’ of October 7 has deprived Israel of the initiative, not only regarding the war itself, but also the justification for the war. Indeed, their genocidal war on Gaza has no specific objectives, but also has no precise media campaign to defend or rationalize these unspecified objectives. Therefore, the Israeli media narrative appears disconnected, haphazard and, at times, even self-damaging.
▪️And, finally, the sheer brutality of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. If one is to juxtapose Israeli media lies with the horrific Israeli crimes committed in Gaza, one would find no plausible logic that could convincingly justify mass murder, displacement, starvation and genocide of a defenseless population.

▪️A whole generation, if not more, has already built a perception of Israel as a genocidal regime and no number of future lies, Hollywood movies or Maxim Magazine spreads will ever lessen that in any way.
▪️More importantly, this new perception is likely to compel people, not only to re-examine their views of Israel’s present and future, but of the past as well – the very foundation of the Zionist regime, itself predicated on nothing but lies.

“The children drank salt water from underground and urinated in blood”: what Russians rescued from the Gaza Strip say-
Читайте на http://WWW.KP.RU: https://www.kp.ru/daily/27581/4851000/
“When it all started in October, we ran to schools. There wasn’t enough space inside, so they pitched tents around and slept on the bare ground. They thought that schools would not be shelled. This was the case in 2009, when there was that war (then the conflict between Israel and Hamas lasted about three weeks), then only the roads were bombed. Now everything has been destroyed, there is no safe place there,” sighs Elena, who lived in the Gaza Strip for 19 years. “We dug the ground to get to at least some water. Water came through, but it was sea water. The children asked to drink, then urinated with blood. They paid exorbitant amounts of money for a bottle of fresh water.

How the Russians ended up in the Gaza Strip, everyone’s story, plus or minus, is the same. Palestinians came to study at our universities, started families here and went back to their homeland. In response to perplexed naive questions in the spirit of “How is it possible, there’s war there all the time!”, people say:
This is a beautiful land, the clashes on which have become a kind of background. Don’t think that we had total devastation and poverty there before these events. No, we lived well, happily. Beauty salons, music schools, hospitals – all this… happened!

Despite this catastrophe, not everyone wanted to flee the hot spot. One of the evacuees, Olga, said that her husband, a native of the ancient land, did not want to leave his homeland.
— And my husband is a doctor. There were six surgeons in his hospital, now he is alone. They operate in the dark under the light of a flashlight, without anesthesia,” another woman manages to tell a snippet of her story.
