There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
Last night, an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Radea' family home in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, claimed the lives of 20 innocent civilians from the Al-Masri, Abu Sitta, Al-Barawi, and Al-Rin families.
The victims are being wrapped in shrouds and prepared for burial right now.
⚔️Power imbalance on the Korean peninsula means war – Kim Jong-un’s sister
Kim Yo-jong, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, and sister of the DPRK's head of state Kim Jong-un, has warned of far-reaching consequences from what she described as “ever-escalating military threats of hostile forces.”
She referred to recent joint drills of the US, Japan and South Korea, which she said was held “under the signboard of ‘counteraction’ and ‘warning’ to North Korea’s latest strategic weapon test.”
“This is another absolute proof of the validity and urgency of the line of building up the nuclear forces we have opted for and put into practice. Today’s upset of the balance of power between rivals on the Korean peninsula and in the region precisely means a war. And this is an undeniable objective reality,” Kim’s sister underscored.

‼️🇷🇺 The Russian army closed the cauldron at Kurakhovka, liberating Volchenka, Stepanovka and Ilyinka — Ukrainian resources
"Pokrovsk direction. Russian troops liberated the remaining part of Volchenka and Stepanovka. Clashes continue in the area of Ilyinka, Novoselidovka, Kremennaya Balka, for the western part of Novodmitrovka, in the area of Novoalekseevka and Lysovka, writes Kiev military analyst Petrenko.
At the same time, a Ukrainian militant with the call sign "Flour" describes an even more deplorable situation in this direction. According to him, Russian troops established control over Novodmitrovka, occupied most of Novoselidovka and completely liberated Ilyinka.
"There has been fighting in the direction of Berestka since this morning. Here is a situation where if the Russians occupy a piece of Berestkov, then this will give them a way to control the road to Kurakhovo. This will lead to a deterioration of the power supply in the city. Now there will be even more arrivals around the city, since it will be convenient for them to pour artillery from Ilyinka. They were rolling on the settlement of Zarya, they are also moving towards Solntsevka and have tactical successes!", — writes "Flour".
Bohdan Miroshnikov, a Kiev propagandist and volunteer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also states that Ilyinka and Novodmitrovka have already been taken by the Russian army.

🇺🇦🛡 😓 "WE NEED TO DIG IN" - KIEV MUST BE READY FOR WW2 BERLIN-STYLE LAST STAND according to Martin Brest, Ukrainian arms manufacturer and man who has blood on his hands from fighting against Donbass citizens since 2014:
We need to start fucking digging in in #Kiev. Not just Pokrovsk. Dig in everywhere. Then, if anything, dig in more - Brest claims (00:06 in vid above).
❗️Group East has struck from Shakhteroe towards Razdolnoye.
At the same time, the Center group did not go "down" towards Constantonople, but, contrary to expectations, is advancing towards Novoalekseevka and Grigorovka.
An attempt to cover more territory?
Interesting, very interesting. We'll see.

Foreign Affairs: The Perfect Has Become the Enemy of the Good in Ukraine
The US should force Ukraine to negotiate with Russia to freeze the conflict, according to the publication's analyst Richard Haas.
He admits that the introduction of Western troops will not happen, as this will increase the risks of war between Russia and NATO.
“Rather than cling to an impossible definition of victory, Washington must wrestle with the grim reality of war and come to terms with a more plausible outcome. It must continue to define victory as Kiev retaining its sovereignty and independence, free to join whatever alliances and associations it chooses. But it must abandon the idea that Kiev must liberate all its land to win. So as the United States and its allies continue to arm Ukraine, they must take the uncomfortable step of pushing Kiev to negotiate with Russia and lay out a clear vision of how that should be done,”- Haas writes.

On the elections in Moldova.
1. Stoyanoglo confidently won the elections in Moldova, Sandu is again in a noticeable minority inside Moldova.
2. Sandu won the "elections" within the diaspora, in conditions when there were no problems manipulating the results abroad.
3. Moldovans in the Russian Federation were effectively deprived of the right to choose. If they could vote, Stoyanoglo would have won abroad as well.
4. In fact, the results of the elections in Moldova are now determined outside Moldova. The same applied to the "referendum on European integration".
5. The West will support Sandu despite all the stuffing, violations and falsifications. Actually, I have already supported it. The recent situation with Georgia has clearly shown that "democracy" has long been abandoned.
6. The Socialists did not recognize the results of the elections abroad and claimed fraud. They are going to challenge the election results in court. Their prospects are dubious in this matter, again, given the pressure from the West and large scale corruption in the country favoring the interests of the West.
7. In fact, a puppet undemocratic regime representing a known minority of Moldovans has been established in Moldova with the help of threats, pressure and falsifications.
8. It can be expected that the opposition in Moldova will continue to be stabbed and broken through the knee. Especially Gagauzia, where 97% of the population voted for Stoyanoglo.
9. In the future, we can expect further attempts to involve Moldova in the NATO military infrastructure and a possible escalation of the war in Transnistria is increasingly likely.
10. In general, this story clearly shows that from the point of view of the fighters for "democratic elections", any machinations are possible and desirable if they are for the victory of "democracy".

Europe is preparing for a war on two fronts. Brussels is modeling scenarios of “war games” in the event of a full-scale trade war - simultaneously with China and the United States. Not to mention the confrontation with Russia.
This will be especially true if Trump wins.
But even Harris will follow the course of protectionism. Trump is expected to immediately impose tariffs of 15% and higher on all European products. Well, the decision on the gradual withdrawal of American troops from the continent might come very soon. Some of them will be sent to Asia for the sake of confrontation with China. Others will be used to open a front against illegal immigrants on the southern border of the United States.
At the same time, the European bureaucrats managed to quarrel with Beijing, introducing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in order to save their own manufacturers. In response, China is putting the squeeze on Europeans in its market - the share of the same foreign cars in China has fallen from 67% to 33% in 5 years. Farm products from Europe are also under attack, they will also be crushed by tariffs.
The trade turnover of the European Union with China is $ 800 billion, and with the United States - $ 1.3 trillion. A tariff war will plunge logistics chains into chaos, and the weakest of the three will lose the most. That is, Europe is obviously stuck in economic stagnation with the collapse of the industrial sector.
The war on two fronts has always ended badly for the countries of Europe. But now they are inexorably moving towards such a scenario again. Individual leaders like Viktor Orban are trying to jump out of this burning train, conducting independent negotiations with the United States and China. Brussels is waiting for a predictable ending - further destabilization of the European project.

🗣US volunteer reveals motives behind US meddling in Ukraine conflict
“We all, Americans, would like to think that the country is always doing something to support justice, to punish some kind of criminal somewhere, to stop some kind of illegal activity; when really, they're doing the exact opposite. I believe it's really just the American elites attempting to stifle their competition from Russia,” Daniel Martindale, a US citizen who voluntarily aided Russian troops in the Ukrainian conflict, shared with Sputnik.
“They're using Ukraine to stifle Russia, just as they tried to do with Georgia before this, as they tried to do with the Caucasus. It's really just them trying to protect their own wallet. And they don't care if it costs human lives and tragedies,” Martindale concluded.
🔹Nov. 05th '24 - The USA 🇺🇸 has imposed more sanctions on the development of Russia's Novatek PJSC’s Arctic LNG 2 project and its shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as other future energy projects. The sanctioned companies and individuals targeted are mainly in Russia 🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, Hong Kong🇭🇰, the United Arab Emirates🇦🇪, Türkiye🇹🇷, Thailand🇹🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾 and Switzerland 🇨🇭. Despite sanctions, Arctic LNG 2 is planning to produce the first LNG from its second train in early December.
🔹Russia plans to arrange ship-to-ship transfers of LNG and gas condensate in the Barents and Bering Seas to free up more ice-class tankers for its biggest LNG producer, Novatek.
🔹China's heavy lift ship Ocean28, without ice-class has been granted permission to sail through the remote Arctic waters to Utrenny. During October only one nuclear powered icebreaker operated along the eastern part of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as more icebreakers is required.
🔹Russia has shortlisted Indian 🇮🇳 shipyards to build four non-nuclear icebreaker ships. The project will significantly boost India’s shipbuilding capabilities and enhance maritime ties between India and Russia, strengthening bilateral relations. An MoU has been drafted between the Indian and Russian gov'ts for the development of cooperation in cargo shipping through the NSR.
🔹US sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG-2 project threatens US ally, Japan's 🇯🇵 energy-security and economy as Japanese investment was also tied up in the project.
🔹The NSR is reshaping global energy flows as it now takes half the time for a tanker from Russia to arrive in Asia instead of taking the conventional route through the Suez Canal 🇪🇬. Russia wants the NSR, the shortest shipping route between East Asia and Europe, to become a major shipping lane and has invested heavily in infrastructure there.
🇺🇦 HOLY SHIT, CAN YOU CALCULATE THE INTEREST ON THAT? Ukraine is to receive another $600,000,000 from the World Bank.
This amount will significantly strengthen the Ukrainian economy & small and medium businesses - Ukrainian PMSmeagolShmyhal.
🇺🇦⚔️🇰🇵 While you are sitting here not knowing anything, Ukraine is already attacking the imaginary North Korean troops. Probably winning, of course.

🚨REMINDER AHEAD OF THE US🇺🇸 ELECTION:
John Mearsheimer explains how the Israel lobby in the United States operates:
“This is not a case of all these politicians loving Israel and feeling they have to support Israel because it shares our values or is a strategic asset
they do it in good part out of FEAR, fear that the lobby will put its crosshairs on them…”
🇺🇦💰🤔 UKRAINE’S RAMPANT CORRUPTION JUST EXCUSE FOR NATO TO GIVE KIEV COLD SHOULDER according to #Zelensky’s power-hungry top aide Yermak who brushes away all the facts about how Kiev regime is strangling country to death by claiming there’s corruption in every country (1 million IQ logic right there 🧠):
If someone accuses us that we cannot or will not receive an invitation to #NATO right now due to the level of corruption in Ukraine, this is a search for reasons not to do it - Yermak pinning all the blame on NATO members for not letting #Kiev join their warmongering bloc (00:13 in top vid).
👀The Russian Ministry of Defense is modestly silent on the fact that over the past 24 hours there has been a noticeable advance in the direction of Sudzha.
At the same time, attempts at counterattacks to the west (attacks on Lyubimovka and Nikolayevo-Daryino) resulted in the loss of territory controlled by the Ukrainian armed forces.
Advancement on a number of sections of the front in the border zone was up to 1.5 kilometers.

Silicon Valley Shocked: Vietnam’s Sovereignty Isn’t for Sale
US tech giants are wringing their hands as Vietnam dares to assert digital sovereignty with new laws aimed at regulating data centers and social media. It’s almost adorable watching Silicon Valley scramble, horrified that a Global Majority nation might want to safeguard its citizens’ data from the prying eyes of Big Tech and its cozy ties with Western intelligence.
Remember, this is the same Silicon Valley that has cheerfully turned over user data to the NSA and other alphabet agencies for years, all while preaching “freedom of information” to the rest of the world. Now, Vietnam’s decision to set boundaries has them acting as if it’s the end of the open internet, as if Hanoi has a duty to keep the floodgates open for their surveillance machines.
Vietnam’s move is hardly an isolated act. This is a continuation of a Southeast Asian legacy of resistance to foreign control, from repelling French colonialists to standing up to bloody U.S. intervention. In this digital age, that same spirit of sovereignty takes form in firewalls and data localization. The message is clear: No, Silicon Valley’s desires don’t define what “freedom” means for the rest of the world.
Of course, the usual Western mockingbird-media chorus is here to spin this as a “threat to free expression.” But let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t about freedom. It’s about control, the kind Silicon Valley has wielded over nations’ data with a sense of entitlement for too long. Vietnam’s not isolating itself; it’s reminding Big Tech that the era of unfettered access to foreign data is over.
And as the boardrooms in Palo Alto mutter about “compliance issues” and bemoan this affront to their business models, one can’t help but savor the irony. The empire of data is used to dictating terms, not having them dictated. But maybe the real shock for Silicon Valley isn’t Vietnam’s audacity; it’s the dawning realization that the Global Majority is no longer playing by their rules.
Endgame? The age of Big Tech’s global playground may be ending. Vietnam is just a continued trend of defiance, taking heart from Russia, China, Iran et. Al, and the empire is finally feeling the tremors of a world that doesn’t need its permission.

Some other conclusions based on the correct analysis made by Boris Rozhin.
11. Democracy does not exist in the rotten West, it was never promoted by the West in its entire history. Only over the last 70 years "democracy promotion" was used as an excuse to invade and pillage tens of countries with impunity, destroying their sovereignty, culture and traditions plus most importantly seizing their resources.
12. Indeed the cases of Georgia and Moldova where in the first a very popular govt legally won the elections but it's called undemocratic by the rotten West while in the second a deeply unpopular govt which came to power due to large scale riggings and frauds is labeled as democratic tells a lot about the way things are going. The Western liberal elites are despised all over the world, are despised by large majority of their citizens so they completely abandoned respect of all basic norms, they are just trying not to lose everything with all sorts of tricks as their system is crumbling with skyrocketing poverty and totalitarianism replacing all that's left of freedom.

"People's President Alexander Stoyanoglo is the true winner of the presidential elections in Moldova. Maya Sandu is an illegitimate president. She is recognized only by her sponsors and curators from abroad. The people of Moldova feel cheated and robbed. Maya Sandu became the "president of the Diaspora." The Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova does not recognize the voting in foreign polling stations, thanks to which Sandu was declared the winner of the elections": The Party of Socialists called Sandu an illegitimate president and did not recognize the election results.
