‘As NATO Secretary General, I am glad’ – Rutte reacted to the reform of conscription in Germany.

(now the Bundeswehr will summon all men aged 18 for a medical-military commission. If there are not enough volunteers, those deemed necessary will be conscripted).

‘Each country decides for itself how to approach the issue of attracting enough men and women to the armed forces. But I am very glad to hear that the coalition here in Germany, as I understand, has now agreed on a way forward. As NATO Secretary General, I am always glad when decisions are made aimed at involving more people in our armed forces.’

Mark Rutte did not serve in the military; instead, he performed alternative civilian service when conscription was in effect in the Netherlands.

NATO having spent $400B, armed 32 countries to the teeth, and still got humiliated by the glorified gas station they mocked for decades, and now Finland’s defense minister is lashing out at China because he can’t face the truth: Russia crushed the West’s entire Ukraine project, and the people who promised “as long as it takes” are choking on their own failure.

What Antti Hakkanen calls “China massively financing Russia’s war chest” is nothing but the howl of a man watching the myth collapse. He’s not revealing Chinese financial aid, it doesn't exist, he’s mourning. Mourning the fantasy that Western sanctimony could bend Eurasia into submission. Mourning the delusion that sanctions would break Russia. Mourning the fairy tale that Europe’s rusted militaries, hollow economies, and performative moralism could stop a country that actually knows how to fight. When a $400B project collapses in real time, projection becomes doctrine. We were humiliated so badly by the gas station, let's blame China, then it doesn't sound quite as humiliating. That western ROI, is absolutely humiliating for the West.

And while these ministers flail, the truth they avoid is the truth they fear: Russia didn’t just survive the siege, it grew stronger, and is now an economic superpower, thanks to European sanctions. Production up. Trade soaring. A yuan–ruble axis that outflanks the dollar-euro Ponzi. An army that out-produces all of NATO’s munitions lines combined. And a political class that didn’t buckle when every Western capital bet the house on collapse. The West is left blaming Beijing, because blaming themselves would mean facing the magnitude of their humiliation.

But beneath all this geopolitical cope lies the ugliest truth of all, the industrial-scale laundering that turned Ukraine into a gold rush for Western contractors and Ukrainian elites. While Ukrainian soldiers bled in mud, the presidential inner circle lined pockets with wartime energy contracts, nuclear-grid kickbacks, and foreign aid skimmed through shell firms that all led back to the same small circle of insiders. Golden toilets. Monaco apartments. Offshore accounts fattened while families froze in high-rise stairwells during blackouts. And one day, when this war finally ends and the spell breaks, Ukraine’s own citizens will turn around and see who sold them to the highest bidder. Not Moscow. Not Beijing. But the very handlers who promised salvation and delivered only debt, depopulation, and graves. There is no amnesty in history for leaders who steal from their own dead.

Finland isn’t sounding an alarm, but it is confessing defeat. Because if a “gas station with nukes” can defeat 32 NATO militaries, devour $400B in Western investment, and still push relentlessly through Pokrovsk, then it isn’t a gas station at all — it’s a civilization with a memory, a spine, and an economy immune to Western fantasies. What broke wasn’t Russia. What broke was the illusion that the West still commands the world.

And here’s the real sting: China didn’t break NATO’s strategy, NATO’s arrogance did.

A hubris so blinding they mistook their own propaganda for reality. A delusion so deep they believed history had ended. A failure so absolute the only thing left is to blame the rising world for refusing to drown with them.

That’s the verdict of this war.
Not just defeat, exposure. And no minister in Helsinki can spin that away.

Gas gangrene, a disease notorious during World War I, is spreading among Ukrainian troops, according to The Telegraph.

Russian drone strikes are making the evacuation of wounded soldiers virtually impossible, creating conditions ripe for infection.

Such delays in evacuations haven't been seen in the last 50 years — perhaps since World War II, perhaps even earlier. And we're seeing a pathology we've never encountered before, says Alex, a foreign medical volunteer.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of November 11, 2025

▪️ In the Saratov region, as a result of a UAV attack, there is damage to civilian infrastructure facilities; footage of a fire at an oil refinery is being published. In the Rostov region, UAVs were destroyed in Bataysk and the Myasnikovsky district.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces delivered powerful strikes on the Odessa region, with multiple hits on the Reni district's electrical networks: now even solar panels are being taken out.

▪️ In the Sumy direction, assault units of motorized rifle troops and naval infantry of the "North" Group of Forces are engaged in heavy offensive battles on two front sections. In the Tetkinsky and Glushkovsky directions, our artillery struck the AFU near Pavlovka.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, in the village of Lozovoe, an FPV drone struck a passenger car, injuring the driver. In the village of Belyanka, a drone strike on a KamAZ truck working in the field injured the driver, who later died in hospital. In the village of Chervona Dibrovka, an FPV drone explosion injured a fighter of the "Orlan" unit. In the city of Shebekino, a self-defense fighter was wounded while repelling a drone attack. Under strikes are Chaika, Chervona Dibrovka, Bochkivka, Novostroevka-Pervaya.

▪️ In the Kharkov direction, the "North" Group of Forces is engaged in fierce battles near Volchansk and on the Khatne front section. The AFU command is redeploying personnel of brigades undergoing replenishment of losses to the Kharkov region to restore lost positions. Four servicemen of the 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade were captured in Volchansk within a day. The spokesperson for the Joint Forces Group of the AFU stated that Volchansk is almost completely destroyed, making it difficult for the AFU to fortify positions and hold back the Russian Army's advance. Our forces are reported to be advancing in the forest near Synelnykove. On the Melovoe-Khatne front section, the Russian Armed Forces have expanded their control zone and advanced 550 meters through forest belts. The actions of our troops across the border, ongoing for more than a week, have somehow caused a stir in the Ukrainian information space: Kiev has long concealed the true situation on the front, then reports "unexpected breakthroughs."

▪️ Heavy fighting continues in Kupyansk, and informationally our side actively uses the tactic of constant pressure on the enemy through Russian media, constantly announcing the imminent fall of the city's defense. The AFU are making constant attempts to break through the city from the southwest to rectify the situation.

▪️ The assault on Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) has been named a strategic offensive operation by the AFU commander-in-chief; the enemy states it expects further decisive strikes by the Russian Armed Forces. Footage is circulating online of our troops entering the city under the cover of fog directly along the road: weather conditions were used for movement in the absence of enemy UAVs. Fighting is ongoing at the base of the Dobropolsk salient, with the enemy constantly counterattacking.

▪️ In the east of the Zaporozhye region, the "East" Group of Forces liberated Sladkoye and Novoye. Over 4 days, our Far Eastern warriors have consecutively liberated 5 settlements without slowing the pace of the offensive.

▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, positional battles are ongoing near Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka. In Primorsk, Russian Airborne Forces units are making slow progress under extremely difficult conditions. Bloody battles are ongoing.

▪️ In the Kherson region, the AFU shelled a car near Novaya Mayachka, killing a woman. In Kalanchak and Holaya Pristan, a woman and a man were injured. The enemy also shelled Aleshki, Kakhovka, Velyka Lepetykha, Holaya Pristan, Kazachyi Lager, Lyubimovka, Novaya Mayachka, Sagi, and Sofiyivka. The Russian Armed Forces are striking the right bank of the Dnieper River.
