Biden greenlights ATACMS to hit Russia, spiting Trump. Russia missile strike targets Ukraine energy
Читать полностью…
The tactics of escalation on the part of the West are constant and, therefore, in their opinion, successful. They split the Russian red lines into thin red threads and gradually cut them. That's the same for long-range missile strikes against Russia.
1. First there were long-range missiles at the DPR and LPR, Crimea.
2. Now there are leaks in the Western media about the permission of the United States, France, and Britain to hit the Kursk region with long-range missiles.
3. Then explanations in the Western media that Russia does not need to worry that these missiles are low-range and they will not change the situation at the front in any way.
4. Then there will be strikes on the Kursk region with these low-range missiles.
5. Then there will be strikes with medium-range missiles.
6. Then there will be strikes on the city of Kursk itself.
7. Then they will say that it is necessary to protect Kharkov from Russia and therefore long-range missile strikes will now be carried out on the Belgorod region.
8. Then they will say that Russian planes are taking off from the Rostov region and it is necessary to hit them as well.
9, 10, 11, 12... - and there will be dozens of such small steps.
And already in three years there have been hundreds of such small steps along the path of escalation.
In the final, after several hundred small steps, there will be massive strikes on Moscow.
Zelensky persuades Washington, London, Brussels that strikes on Moscow will bring Russia to its knees.
And with small, small steps they are moving towards this goal.
What is Russia going to do to prevent such a scenario?

▪️Pokrovsk direction. On the southern flank, Russian troops have advanced in Novaya Ilyinka, a detached area of Kurakhovo, and are rolling along the Skotovata beam in the direction of the settlement of Berestki, on the eastern outskirts of which Russian troops are trying to gain a foothold.

🇮🇱❌🇮🇱 Israel’s Self-Inflicted Nightmare: Netanyahu’s Ego and the Looming Collapse
As the Resistance thrives in the West Bank, it's not just Palestinian resilience on display, it's Israel’s unraveling, a slow-burn implosion brought about by Netanyahu’s ruthless vanity and disgusting disregard not only for Gazans but for Israelis themselves. For Bibi, this isn’t about Israel’s "security" or "defense"; it’s a desperate gambit by a leader who will torch his own house to escape the flames of his corruption scandals. Every bomb dropped, every Gazan erased from existence, is another stone laid on the path to Israel’s self-destruction.
Netanyahu’s genocidal rampage in Gaza doesn’t just threaten Palestinians; it’s a ticking time bomb for every Israeli. He’s sacrificed Israel’s long-term viability on the altar of his personal survival, painting Israel as the pariah of the global stage. And as the Resistance grows stronger in the West Bank, fueled by the very brutality that Netanyahu has unleashed, it’s clear that Israel’s existential threat is no longer external but internal, born of its own policies, driven by its own mad man leader.
Bibi’s obsession with erasure and domination has not secured Israel; it has fractured it, pitting its military apparatus against not just Gaza, but against the rising tide of global opinion. Israel’s actions have marked it as a rogue state in the eyes of the Global Majority, a rogue state led by a man who cares more about his survival than the survival of his nation.
The irony is brutal: the very quest for “security” has summoned insecurity from within. Netanyahu may have gambled for personal absolution, but he’s invited existential damnation for Israel.

Medvedev explained why Americans invested money in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
And it's not just about the military-industrial complex, explained the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council. He recalled that from July last year to June this year alone, the volume of American goods supplied to the European Union increased by $93 billion (+34% compared to the 2021 level) and reached $367 billion.
American oil supplies doubled, by 37.3 million tons or more. Fertilizer supplies increased, from almost zero to 666 thousand tons per year, and liquefied natural gas by 181%, or 18.5 million tons.
Europe has nowhere to go in the conditions of a raw material deficit provoked by sanctions. So the profit is convincing. And the Yankees also received an exclusive offer from an expired clown. The Americans have interests in the returned Russian territories, especially Donbass, because there are many times more mineral reserves there than there are left in the former Ukraine. The drug addict is now trying to maintain US interest in the war and is trading access to natural resources,
🇬🇧🇫🇷🇺🇦 "France and Britain have allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory with their SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles," reports Le Figaro, without providing further details.

China's trade surplus to approach $1 trillion this year, and this is despite restrictions on Chinese exports from the United States and European protectionism. That is, the growth over the five-year period is almost 3 times! Basically, this effect was achieved due to China's aggressive entry into the niches of high conversion – energy equipment, shipbuilding, automotive, etc. Well, access to cheap raw materials from Russia, Mongolia, Indonesia, Australia and further down the list.
However, if in absolute terms $ 969 billion looks incredible, then in specific terms it is not very much: only $ 680 per Chinese person per year. Last year, the trade surplus for one resident of Russia amounted to $780. And from this point of view, every Russian gives more to the outside world than the calloused hands of a Chinese. By the way, it gives away irreplaceable resources in return for "wrappers", which can be used to buy less and less every month.

‼️🇷🇺 The military operation in the Chernigov region continues: Russian special forces control Muravy and neighboring villages.
Recently, our special forces from the Bryansk region entered the Chernigov village of Muravy, planted the Russian flag on the school in the center, then the fighters went even deeper into the enemy's rear — in Novoselovka, Kolos and approached the bridge over the Sudost River near the village of Gremyach, where they also raised the Russian flag.
The actions of the special forces are supported by rocket artillery, which strikes at clusters of AFU forces.

Germany advises to keep warm now — next winter might not be that simple.
Europe is emptying its gas storage facilities faster than expected, and with fuel rising in price in the summer, Germany, the largest consumer, has warned of the risks associated with filling storage facilities for the next heating season.
This week, the European Union accelerated the withdrawal of stocks from storage, reaching a level last seen in January — usually this month there is a peak in heating demand in the region, data from Gas Infrastructure Europe show.

China will strike back.
Beijing will fight back hard if Trump imposes a 60% tariff on Chinese imports, according to Zhu Min, a former deputy governor of the People's Bank of China.
It would be nice if the two sides could sit down and make a deal because economically, the US and China really complement each other. But if Trump does impose tariffs, China will respond and go to the World Trade Organization,— Zhu Min said.

"Putin will not stop in Ukraine, but will continue attacks - in the Baltics or elsewhere"
Die Welt is scaring Western readers. The newspaper quotes the head of British intelligence, McCallum, who talks about Russian sabotage and arson.
According to him, Russia wants to cause chaos in countries that support Ukraine, and uses a whole range of tools: from influencing political discussions and cyberattacks on critical infrastructure to large-scale sabotage and murder.
Russia is crawling towards "red lines". It is testing them, knowing that it is strong and the West is weak, the newspaper assures.

❗Rumours that the Russian reconnaissance operation in Northern Chernigov region of the latest days from Bryansk was made to test the AFU defense lines in order to find gaps for a second offensive towards Kiev itself, Russian intelligence knew in advance that NATO countries were about to greenlight long range missile strikes on Russian territory so as a response the "Kiev" group of troops is being formed since two months, Russia might take advantage of winter for a round two towards the capital of the former Ukraine.
Differently from Round 1 the second Round on Kiev won't be a breakthrough attempt with the use of few thousands paratroopers and special forces but a full-scale offensive with the use of all means just like the ones currently underway in Donbass, the Kiev grouping will be made of 30.000 soldiers at least.

▪️Kurakhovo direction. In the settlement of Dalneye, the clashes shifted to the area of the farm in the western part of the village.
▪️In the southern part of the city, the enemy set up a flag and continued rolling in maneuverable groups towards the center. The vector of the Russian troops' attacks remains both on Konstantnopolske and in the direction of Uspenovka along the road.
▪️A Ukrainian militant with the call sign "Muchnoy" also confirms the offensive of our troops: "The Russians broke through on armor in the locality of Trudovoye and were able to land troops, set up a flag in the southern part of the village! Now they control the entire southern part and are gradually strengthening. The movement will continue on Uspenovka! The supply of ammunition in Ilyinka and Elizavetovka can be dangerous, as the road will be under tight fire control!"

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺US Gives Green Light for Launching US Missiles into Russia
▪️Strikes would require US intelligence and targeting data as well as the possible use of US "contractors" to prepare missiles for fire, essentially US strikes on Russia;
▪️Reuters claims the decision was made based on still yet-to-be verified claims of North Korean troops inside Russia, not Ukraine;
▪️The US proxy war on Russia aims at causing maximum damage for Russia, not aiding Ukraine in victory - this decision was made knowing Ukraine will likely suffer the full brunt of Russian retaliation;
▪️Russia reserves multiple means of escalating including eliminating all Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea, the complete destruction of Ukraine's power grid, as well as a greater mobilization of Russian manpower and industry - all politically easier in the wake of what are essentially US missile attacks on Russia;

Biden sets Trump up for failure - Michael Maloof
By allowing Ukraine to use ATACMS in strikes on Russian territory, Biden is setting up Trump for Ukrainian failure if the new administration doesn't stand by that decision.
"If that's the case, Biden is basically setting up Trump for failure. And that is insidious and it's wrong, when an outgoing administration does that to an incoming administration. And they should be condemned for it," the former senior security policy analyst told Sputnik.
Putin warned that if NATO countries gave the green light to Kiev to use long-range missiles to strike inside Russia, not only would it mean direct conflict with NATO…
But it would also mean that Russia would reserve the right to arm NATO countries’ adversaries with long-range weapons as well

"Propagandist of bloodshed at someone else's expense": the Federation Council has spoken out about Borrell, who is resigning.
The head of the Upper House Committee on International Affairs, Grigory Karasin, gave a characterization of the head of European diplomacy in his Telegram channel.
I honestly can't believe that Borrell is finally resigning! He seemed to be forever escalating tensions in Russia, calling for the destruction of everything that is ours with the help of Zelensky's team enthusiasts. I think that he will not be forgotten and he has already gone down in history, but in a very peculiar capacity as a propagandist of force and bloodshed at someone else's expense,
❗The NYT writes that Biden gave Kiev permission to use ATACMS with a range of up to 100 km across Russia. So far, everything is developing in such a way that even if Trump wanted to stop the conflict, he will no longer be able to.

The increase in demand for gas in Europe was caused by colder weather combined with a decrease in electricity generation from wind and solar panels. Well, that's how it is now in the once industrial giant: if there is enough wind, we will be alive.
But no one is in a hurry to complete the selection yet. The price difference between the contracts for next summer and winter 2025-2026 is increasing, which makes it unprofitable to purchase fuel for replenishment. Since, according to the latest EU directives, at least 90% of storage facilities must be filled before winter, Bloomberg does not exclude that states will have to intervene and subsidize gas purchases in spring and summer.
German gas storage group INES has already warned that the cost-effectiveness of mandatory replenishment levels "must be reviewed and ensured." Last time, the German government, where reserves for November should be 95%, allocated credit lines worth more than 15 billion euros to cover the operator's losses.
According to INES, due to frosts, stocks in Germany may be depleted by mid-February. In this case, according to estimates by BloombergNEF, the average level of stocks in the EU may fall by up to 20%. All hope is that this winter will not be very cold, and not the longest.
Scholz can probably be happy. He will most likely not be chancellor after February, so next winter is not his problem.

Bloomberg: Russia has targeted the US nuclear power industry by limiting uranium supplies.
Russia temporarily restricts the export of enriched uranium to the United States, creating potential supply risks for utilities operating American reactors that generate almost a fifth of U.S. electricity.
The Russian government did not provide details about the restrictions or their duration in a statement Friday on Telegram. Utility companies tend to make purchases in advance, so any consequences are unlikely to be immediate.
This measure will hit a particularly vulnerable link in the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle. Russia controls almost half of the world's uranium isotope separation capacity needed for reactors, and last year supplied more than a quarter of the enriched fuel to the United States.
