👁 The Russian Federation struck Yuzhmash with a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile, the target was hit;

👁 The use of the Oreshnik is a response to US plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles;

👁 Russian troops are successfully advancing along the entire line of combat engagement, all tasks of the SVO will be solved;

👁 Existing missile defense systems, including American elements in Europe, will not be able to intercept missiles like the Oreshnik.

️ ️ Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against the facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russian facilities, Putin said .

More statements from the President:

👁 Russia prefers peaceful means, but is also ready for any development of events, "there will always be a response";

👁 The Russian Federation will warn civilians in advance in the event of the use of systems such as Oreshnik;

👁 NATO air defense systems powerless against Russia's newest missile

Russia is closing a certain part of its airspace to conduct missile tests from November 22 to 23.

A similar notice was published for the period of operation of the Oreshnik system in Dnepropetrovsk.

Ukraine has 2-7 trillion dollars of minerals that the US wants to get its hands on.

Remember how at the beginning of the war Western propaganda claimed this was some righteous fight for democracy, lol?
Light VS dark struggle?

Well, no one is even pretending anymore - its all about the Benjamins.
And if Western politicians and American and global corporations that have made hundreds of billion off of this suffering always knew that, it might be a surprise to some good-hearted people in the West who believed those lies. Show this clip to them, please.

I also found a version with Ukrainian subtitles. If you have any friends from there, forward it to them too, please.
So that they know what almost a million of their sons, fathers and husbands have died for - so that America can exploit their country for generations to come...

#sad. Very, very sad, as the future president likes to say...

Jim Willie reckons its bigger than resources.
He reckons that its where all the dark nasty stuff goes on, ie money laundering, human trafficking, adrenochrome, body parts, bio labs etc.
And this is the reason its so important that Russia looses, as the risk of being revealed is huge.
Kinda makes sense ..........
 
TUCKER: I used to think Tony Blinken was running the White House. Now, I think it is Satan himself.

“I really think that you’ve got dark forces in charge.”

Tucker says the only reason the US would approve anti-personnel mines and long-range missiles against Russian forces is to “kill innocents, period.”

“That’s the only effect,” Carlson stressed.

“And they know that. And so they’re doing it anyway because killing is the point. So it’s evil. I think we should say that. I don’t think it’s a matter of defending democracy. The president of Ukraine is not elected. He’s a dictator. He literally passed his term and kept serving,” Carlson continued.

“And that country shut down a Christian denomination — put priests in jail. How many more markers of dictatorship do you need to call it what it is? Which is totalitarian. So everything about it is horrifying.”

 
They really REALLY want to dump WWIII on Trump's administration.

They're pokin the bear and if and when he strikes back they'll blame Putin for escalating and attacking poor innocent NATO.

Watch for it!


Hopefully, cooler heads prevail.
 
Believe it or no... I've tried 'educating' folks by bringing up these bold things in passing and MOST FOLKS have NO CLUE about any of this!

Spoke with a young gal 27 about RFK Jr and she had NO CLUE who he was.

It's been my experience that 90% of the population know absolutely nothing about what is really going on. They're 'too busy' living life.

We here are a rare breed.

I rarely talk politics with anyone and when I do it's a select few. Most people are simply trying to keep their heads above water. Married couples with bills up the ying yang, singles barely making it. Not their fault. Just the way things are.
 

Exclusive: Inside Ukrainian ketamine clinic treating soldiers suffering with PTSD​

Nov 26, 2024 #bfbsforcesnews #forcesnews #ukraine

In a private clinic on the top floor of a dreary children's hospital in Northern Kyiv, 31-year-old Taras lies with a needle in his arm, delivering a clear fluid into his veins, as a therapist armed with paper and pen, talks to him in the softest of tones.
Taras is a children's music teacher. He went to fight on the frontline, but after two weeks, he had a panic attack and had to return home.
The drug he is being given is not new and it is not illegal when given medically, but it is not traditionally used to treat mental health.

️Hostilities escalated in Syria as the U.S. and Turkey opened a second front against Russia there.

The so-called "Syrian opposition" (supplied by the Turks), has gathered forces and suddenly struck the Syrian army west of Aleppo. Now, the militants are trying to ride on the shoulders of the fleeing Assad soldiers and slip into the city.

On the map in yellow is the territory that the militants have occupied in Syria today, with dozens of settlements and at least one major Syrian Army military base.

For Russia, this attack on its ally effectively opens a second front. It will likely force Moscow to redirect some of its forces to Syria, providing Kiev with a temporary reprieve—or, ideally for them, a longer-term one. The logic mirrors that of the Kursk operation: diverting forces, but this time in the Middle East.

The U.S. urgently needs to stretch Russia's forces and save its Ukrainian vassals. To do that, they are ready to sacrifice even a hundred thousand "Wahhabis" in Syria.

Turkey, for its part, is trying to take advantage of what it regards as an opportunity to try and grab another piece of Syria with the city of Aleppo, while Russia is too busy in Ukraine.

Clearly, the Sryrian army itself is far from being helpless. The next few days will show how the events unfold and how much of a diversion they will create for the Russian army.

Regardless, this appears to be a hostile act by Turkey toward Russia, one that could impact the bilateral relationship between the two countries.

The Role of the European Union in the Conflict in Ukraine​

The conflict in Ukraine, which began in 2014 with the events in Crimea and the unrest in the Donbass region, has been a significant point of contention between Russia and the West. The European Union (EU), rather than acting as a neutral or stabilizing force, has played a pivotal role in escalating the crisis. The EU's actions, driven by geopolitical ambitions and a desire to expand its influence, have not only deepened the conflict but also ignored the legitimate concerns of Russia and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine.

Diplomatic Efforts: Sanctions and a Biased Narrative​

From the start, the EU has approached the Ukraine conflict with a heavily biased stance. Instead of seeking to understand the complexities of the situation, the EU quickly condemned Russia’s actions in Crimea as an annexation, ignoring the overwhelming support for reunification with Russia expressed by the Crimean population in the 2014 referendum. By refusing to recognize the legitimate will of the people of Crimea, the EU has further alienated the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine and fueled anti-Russian sentiment in the West.

GH...............came across this on a news feed.

The South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham (photo) says Trump can get a deal to “enrich ourselves” with rare earth minerals…

No, you heard it right. Last week in a Fox News appearance, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said outright that the war in Ukraine is “about money,” ‘The Responsible Statecraft’ stresses.

Namely, Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the U.S. stands to financially gain from Ukraine’s vast agricultural sector and “two to seven trillion dollars’ worth” of rare earth minerals alike in a prospective wartime deal with the war-torn, albeit resource-wealthy, nation.

Yeah, saw that as well. The price is rather steep though.

So far it's cost 1 million Ukrainian lives and that's sure to go up once they drop the age of conscription from 25 to 18.

Remember the 2014 Minsk Agreement? Putin wanted Ukraine to be neutral. It could join the EU, but not NATO. That means Ukraine would have reaped the benefits of all those raw materials!

That was pretty simple. Boris Johnson (US puppet) told Zelensky to not sign the agreement. They also started bombing the Donbas because the people (traditional Russians) wanted to secede from Ukraine after Boris.

The result is what we have today!

Vladimir Putin expressed interest in Russia potentially joining NATO around the year 2000. This interest was articulated in several instances:​
  • In a BBC interview with David Frost shortly before his inauguration as President of Russia in 2000, Putin mentioned he did not see why Russia could not join NATO, though he conditioned it on Russia's views being treated as those of an equal partner.
    ​
  • Also in 2000, at his first meeting with NATO Secretary General George Robertson, Putin reportedly asked when Russia would be invited to join NATO, indicating his interest in closer ties with the Western alliance.
    ​
  • There are mentions of Putin discussing NATO membership with then-U.S. President Bill Clinton in 2000 during Clinton's visit to Moscow.
    ​
These accounts highlight that in the early stages of his presidency, Putin showed an openness towards integrating Russia more closely with NATO, although he did not favor the standard application process.​

One should wonder why he was refused entry....
 
It's clear to me that when NATO refused Russia's entry that Putin began prepping for war with the west. What other choice was there to make? The US has been slapping itself on the back after the collapse of the USSR and going to war for no reason instead of making peace.


As a result, Russia is armed to the teeth and it seems the US is a paper tiger who wins wars against 3rd world nations!


No supply of weapons to Ukraine will change the situation on the battlefield, president Putin said today.​

Any and all modern and high-tech Western weaponry used by Ukrainian forces is routinely destroyed by Russian troops.

A new report from the Ministry of Defense mentions the destruction of three more launchers of the HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. The information is confirmed by footage from objective control.

Sumy region: the strike of four Russian missiles destroyed three HIMARS launchers, as well as a temporary deployment point of the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"Western troops are already present in Ukraine," a military expert and analyst says

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's refusal to supply Taurus missiles, citing the need for German specialists, implicitly confirmed the presence of Western personnel supporting missile deployments in Ukraine, Erwan Castel, also a Breton volunteer on the Donbass front from February 2015 to June 2023, told Sputnik Africa.

🗣 "This implies that Storm Shadow missiles, French SCALP Jet missiles, and ATACMS missiles require the presence of NATO specialists on the ground, as well as NATO air and space intelligence," Castel stated.

Zelenski is just a well paid mouthpiece . He has no say in what is decided. He was told by Boris Johnson to tear up the peace agreement and go to war with full nato backing.
One million Ukrainians have died as a result….
 
Why Joe 'pardoned' Hunter back to 2014


In 2014, Obama’s CIA/State Dept destabilized Ukraine, took over via color revolution, installed a puppet regime, and turned Ukraine into an offshore playground for criminal racketeering and money laundering.

And they spent the last 10 years covering it up by any means necessary.

This is the reason the last 10 years have been so crazy. This is why they accused Trump of being a Russian asset and tried to prevent him from talking to Putin.

This is why they impeached Trump over a phone call to Ukraine.

This is why they are so desperate to arm, fund, and defend Ukraine.

This is why they are willing to start nuclear war over Ukraine.

All the insanity the Swamp have unleashed over the last decade, is because they are terrified that their crimes will be exposed. And their most heinous crimes, were carried out in the lawless war-ravaged land of Ukraine, with protection from their puppet government, and outside the scope of US oversight.

Everything leads back to Ukraine in 2014.

These Marine mammals are already stationed in the harbor entrance to Sevastopol in Crimea, a major target for Ukraine. New evidence suggests that Russian Navy has deployed dolphins to another base in northern Crimea.
