🇺🇦🛡 😓 "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.

Attempts by various progressive figures to reach the Khokhol with the message "make peace" resemble persistent attempts to reach a switched-off telephone. Khokhol in the person of Zelensky will not make peace, he was not raised for that. He was raised, put and kept (for now) in office for a specific purpose: Europe must be ruined, Russia's hands must be tied, the U.S. must capitalize on this war. Only the US can give up that goal, and it will do so when it realizes that the costs are beginning to exceed the benefits.
I have already written about the fact that Zelensky is beneficial to us, because he is leading to the liquidation of Ukraine as a state, I will not repeat myself, but he is also beneficial in another important way. This war must be brought to its logical end, with a clear demonstration to Europe of the fact that Europe has not been able to provide any assistance sufficient to defeat Russia, and the maximum that it has achieved is only prolonging the war and aggravating its own problems. And this will be the best argument for reasonable people in Europe itself against those who would suggest Europeans to continue the policy of confrontation.

LAVROV🇷🇺: ‘If Zelensky fails, the
US is preparing continental Europe for a suicidal venture by going into an open conflict with Russia. Western elites see no future for themselves in a multipolar world, they hope that Russia will one day fall.’
🇷🇺 On November 4 Russia celebrates National Unity Day.
National Unity Day was established in memory of the events of 1612 when the people's militia led by the zemstvo elder Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders. It is believed that they were the ones who were able to unite and rally the population to liberate Russia from the invaders.
🔴@DDGeopolitics
🇷🇺 The main points from Lavrov’s speech at the international symposium “Creating the Future”:
➡️NATO intends to conduct "defensive battles" thousands of miles from its territory;
➡️The Anglo-Saxons are preparing Europe for a major adventure against the Russian Federation in the event of Kiev’s failure;
➡️The West itself signed the death warrant for the dollar, turning it into an instrument of punishment;
➡️Dialogue on the principles of coexistence in a multipolar world is slow due to the West's fault;
➡️The share of settlements in national currencies within BRICS reached 65%.

Why "China objections to cooperation between Russia and the DPRK" is a nonsense.
In parallel with the news (as yet unconfirmed officially) about the entry of North Korean units into the North Korean military on the side of Russia, the Americans are actively dispersing the version that China is incredibly nervous about deepening cooperation between Russia and the DPRK, including military cooperation.
There is no logic in this version. Firstly, it is not confirmed by anything: the level of interaction between China and Russia has the same dynamics as with Russia and the DPRK, including at the level of public statements. Secondly, what kind of claims can China even theoretically have? Beijing is now walking on a very shaky bridge. On the one hand, it needs to push the United States and inflict damage on them in the broadest sense of the word, from reputational – exposing them as incompetent in terms of global military and political regulation, to the economic level.
At the same time, it is advisable not to fall into a direct confrontation with the United States ahead of time, until the army is ready and sanctions are imposed on them, and that's all. To which Beijing does not yet have full immunity. So if someone performs these tasks, roughly speaking, taking chestnuts out of the fire for the PRC, so what's wrong with that? On the contrary, it is possible to supply Russia with the equipment it needs so that it can successfully confront the United States and the West, and if anything, nod at North Korea. They say that these are all the fruits of the gloomy genius of Juche.
The idea of "Beijing is against it because it is losing control" is ludicrous, because few people need control for the sake of control. It should always either give bonuses or insure against problems. Otherwise, control becomes a source of risks and unnecessary obligations. As with Ukraine, which irritates the noble society with importunate demands and unrestrained "grants".
Since China is completely uninterested in the United States shifting the Ukrainian case to Europe in order to focus on the Indo-Pacific region itself in terms of resources and leadership, strengthening the western flank of Eurasia is more than in line with China's interests.
To make it very bright, the DPRK peacekeeping corps may appear in Syria, for example.
In addition, the DPRK's presence in Europe is actually a phenomenon with many unknowns. How many Korean troops will there be? How long will they be in the west of Russia? And why shouldn't they also be in the west of Belarus? Or even in Kaliningrad? In any case, it will be difficult for the United States to throw off Europe.

🚨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.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 There will be no light in Ukraine for 20 hours a day in winter - Politico
- Ukrainian energy expert Gennadiy Ryabtsev believes the most likely blackouts will be 8-14 hours a day.
-A senior U.S. official said the U.S. expects a "very severe winter" in Ukraine.
"People will suffer in their homes from the cold if Russia takes out the energy infrastructure," enemy propagandists say.
Foreign diasporas ensured Sandu's victory in the elections in Moldova - she gained 55.25% of the votes, more than 10% ahead of her rival Stoianoglo with 44.75%
The Central Election Commission provides data based on the results of processing 99.5% of the votes.
Sandu gained leadership thanks to votes from abroad. Inside the country, the majority voted for Stoianoglo, but he obtained only 17.44% of the votes in foreign polling stations.
Former Prosecutor General Stoianoglo, with 100% of the protocols counted within Moldova, scored 51.19% in the presidential elections, while Sandu scored 48.81%, the Central Election Commission reported.

🇷🇺💬🇩🇪Berlin resigned itself to the Nord Stream destruction, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
“The German government shamefully resigned itself to the humiliating destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines to the detriment of the fundamental interests of the German economy and the German people,” he said.
🔹The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) 🇨🇭plans to quit a cross-border payment system project after Russian 🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin mentions it as a key tool in global de-dollarization efforts. After years of development, Western Central Banks wants to prevent such a project from being utilized by BRICS countries.
🔹The BIS will quit Project mBridge, (a wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDC)) bridge Innovation Hub it has helped develop since 2021. With Project mBridge, cross-border payment steps can be significantly reduced by allowing direct, bilateral connectivity between the payee’s and payer’s local banks supported by interoperability with participants’ domestic payment systems.
🔹BRICS member countries see the system as a means of reducing their reliance on the U.S.-dominated financial system while minimizing the effects of potential U.S. sanctions. Project mBridge, is a collaboration launched in 2021 between the BIS and the central banks of China 🇨🇳, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Thailand 🇹🇭and the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪, then joined by the Saudi Arabian 🇸🇦central bank in June. It also has many more observing members.
🔹The experimental platform developed for Project mBridge is a purpose-developed permissioned distributed ledger technology (DLT) that supports instant peer-to-peer and atomic cross-border payments and FX transactions.
🔹Each participant on the Project mBridge platform achieves full control over its infrastructure and operations. The core component is the mBL node, which is the DLT node used in the peer-to-peer network. Central banks’ mBL nodes are validator nodes that take part in the consensus protocol. Meanwhile, commercial bank nodes are ordinary mBL nodes that share the same capabilities as central bank nodes, but do not take part in the consensus mechanism.

🇲🇩🇷🇺We want to vote!"
Voting ballots for the Moldovan presidential election have run out in Russia.
The authorities of the republic allocated only 10 thousand ballots for fellow citizens living in the Russian Federation.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 354 thousand Moldovans live in Russia, but Moldova sent only TEN THOUSAND BALLOTS.
About one and a half thousand people who did not get to cast their vote in the elections remained outside the embassy in Moscow, chanting "We want to vote!"
🐻This is how "democracy" works.
