⚡️Two Majors #Overview #Summary as of the morning of November 16, 2025

▪️ The coercion of the Kiev regime to peace by Americans 🇺🇸 (in the name of trade and profits, of course) was voiced yesterday by Trump’s friend, Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán🇭🇺: “The parties to the Ukrainian conflict do not yet wish to cease hostilities, but Ukraine🇺🇦 will be easier to incline to this, since it is not independent and depends on Western countries, and time still plays in favor of Russia.” This may be the reason behind the demonstrative work of supranational anti-corruption bodies in Kiev, controlled only by Washington: huge thefts by Zelensky’s accomplices in the energy sector were uncovered this week, undermining the remaining trust in the hoarse leader of the junta. Of course, this is only the beginning of the final stage of closing the “Ukraine project,” since the direct involvement of Zelensky himself in the theft of Western and national funds has not yet been published, which can be considered the last warning. Washington is doing this not out of pacifism: in Germany 🇩🇪 there is discussion about the desire of US corporatists to buy out the “Nord Streams” and earn income from the transit of Russian energy carriers to the EU🇪🇺, although before the war supplies went without intermediaries. At the same time, Trump’s Hungarian friend effectively issued a threat to Russia in case it steps out of the US sphere of influence on the situation: “European politics is very complex intellectually, but what they say basically means they would not want peace right now. They would want the war to continue.” By hanging the “sword of war” between the EU and Russia, the conditional international Trumpists want to maintain control for a long time and profit from trading oil and gas from Russia to the EU, while simultaneously making impossible a full reconciliation of their own European lapdogs with Moscow, fueling military hysteria and actually expanding military production in the Old World in the interests of their weapons lobby. Considering the issues in the Russian economy, indicated by increased taxes and fees (utilization and planned technological), at least for some elites the proposed option to stop the war may seem extremely attractive.

▪️ These long-term plans for the swift cessation of hostilities in the interests of the US are conditioned by the successes (and only by them) of the Russian Army on the front and serious problems of the AFU with manpower. Another Western agent, Kiev mayor Klitschko, has already floated through Western media the question of lowering the mobilization age to 22 (currently 25). An additional incentive to enter negotiations on Russia’s terms is the already visible destruction of part of Ukrainian energy. On the other hand, many sources believe that the suffering of the civilian population without electricity does not indicate a complete shutdown of the remnants of Ukrainian industry, including military. The lion’s share of electricity generation in the former Ukrainian SSR comes from nuclear power plants⚛️, which must be disabled by strikes on output substations and power lines. There are plenty of grounds for this: besides constant strikes on the Zaporozhye NPP, this week several power units of the Novovoronezh NPP were disconnected from the grid as a result of drone attacks on the station on the night of November 12-13. Moreover, depriving Kiev of the ability to produce any military products must be done as soon as possible: sensitive strikes continue on our “oil sector” and power plants, including using Neptune missiles and Ukrainian UAVs.

◾ Turin: Crowds gather in Turin for a meeting with D'Orsi on Russophobia and Russophilia, but the protest fails.
There were about 500 people at La Poderosa to listen to D'Orsi, Moni Ovadia, Alessandro Di Battista and Vincenzo Lorusso , the meeting at La Poderosa in Turin with Angelo D'Orsi to talk about Russophobia and Russophilia was a success .

The club was packed to capacity, and hundreds of people remained outside, so much so that the organizers decided to set up loudspeakers to reach those who couldn't get in but wanted to be there despite the live stream on YouTube and Facebook.

The United States has announced the launch of Operation "Southern Spear" to combat drug cartels throughout the Western Hemisphere. The largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, along with a military contingent, will arrive off the coast of Venezuela within a few days.

The Trump administration has prepared three military action scenarios to overthrow Maduro.

The first scenario is linked by the publication to Panama. In December 1989, American troops surrounded the Vatican embassy in Panama, where General Manuel Noriega sought refuge. In the end, he surrendered and was taken to Florida for trial.

This plan would mean either a marine landing on beaches just minutes from the Venezuelan capital Caracas or the use of helicopters, the article says.

The second scenario involves the use of long-range weapons, as in the bombings of Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. The most comparable example is the 2011 strikes aimed at overthrowing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. However, unlike Libya, Venezuela "does not have opposition figures waiting to come to power," the article states.

The third option is called "Spy Infiltration." As a historical example, the Telegraph cites the US and UK operation against Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1956. The United States would already have placed spies in Venezuela.

USA is showing itself to be the rogue state which it has always been.

‘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.
