🇺🇸🇪🇺Even as US/Europe acknowledge desperate need to expand military industrial output including by expanding the West's skilled workforce, the arms industry is dumping 1000s of workers, remains mired in corruption, and continues to prioritize profit over purpose...
For the collective West's population it is a blessing in disguise since this is not about actual "defense," and instead about propping up this corrupt, unsustainable "international order," one that poses as much a threat to the Western public as it does the nations it seeks to provoke war with.

Ukraine Will Be Ready to Call Women to the Front to Save Europe from War [if no other means] — Zaluzhny
The former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian ambassador to London stated:
"If it is necessary to call up women to save Europe from war, then perhaps we will do it. But, in my personal opinion, it is necessary to prevent a war in Europe, as it was in 1939, by other means, not by calling up Ukrainian women."

The Cato Institute (USA): Zelensky's rescue plan is another fantasy.
"We should start evaluating this plan with a cruel but inevitable fact: Ukraine is currently losing the war," Justin Logan, director of Defense and Foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute analytical center (USA), takes the bull by the horns.
His assessment of the "rescue plan", announced yesterday by Zelensky in the walls of the Rada, is quite consistent with the title of the article: "Zelensky's new peace plan is another fantasy."
▪️ The author is sure that everything Zelensky asks the West for will almost certainly not be received. In his opinion, there are several reasons for this:
— the general situation at the front, which is developing in favor of Russia;
— the failure of the Kursk adventure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which failed to divert enough Russian troops from other sectors of the front;
— incomparable military, economic and demographic potentials of Ukraine and Russia;
— the lack of visible readiness of Moscow to end the war;
— dissatisfaction of the leaders of the US Republican Party with Zelensky's actual interference in the presidential election (for example, during his recent visit to a Pennsylvania arms factory accompanied by Democratic Party agitators);
— the disappointment of part of the American political community in the "Ukrainian map" against the background of other foreign policy problems, as well as its unpreparedness for a direct military clash with Russia.
"If Ukraine does not receive security guarantees from Washington, then it is impossible to promote its war with Russia as something really worth fighting for," Logan sums up. Adding that the Biden administration has already opposed Ukraine's admission to NATO (and rightly so) and that Trump has also made it clear: he will not fight with Russia for Ukraine.
Of course, the author has not discovered America here. The arguments are well-known and, in their own way, logical. However, they themselves do not explain well why the "war to the last Ukrainian" continues, the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not yet crumbled, the West still sponsors Kiev with weapons and money, and continues to prepare for a Big War, gradually expanding the capabilities of its military-industrial complex and training new NATO brigades on the Eastern flank.
In reality, the war in Ukraine in the format in which it is taking place today is quite comfortable for the United States. They do not incur any serious costs from it. They don't particularly get into trouble with Russia. European NATO allies are being kept on their toes. They do not refuse to bet on the internal destabilization of our country. In short, Washington is doing well, and it does not need to complete the Ukrainian project yet.
Moreover, as already mentioned, Zelensky's owners may well raise the stakes in this conflict through the second, after Kursk, game changer. For example, in the form of an attack on the practically defenseless Transnistria, which is home to 220 thousand Russian citizens and which looks like an excellent lever of pressure on Moscow.
If Gamechanger 2.0 is successful, the Ukrainian project, which had faded in the eyes of Washington, will shine with bright colors again. And analysts from American thought factories will begin to scribble articles of the opposite kind — about Zelensky's "brilliant plan on the Dniester" and "the imminent victory over Russia."

— In the early hours of 17 October, the US Air Force carried out at least 15 violent strikes on Yemen's Sanaa and Saada using long-range B2 stealth bombers for the first time.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the US targeted five underground weapons storage facilities.
A Yemeni military source told Al Mayadeen that the attacks did not target weapons depots, saying the strikes "came after a painful blow received by the American enemy in the Red Sea after its commercial ships were targeted with missiles and drones that hit their targets accurately."

🇮🇱 Likud Party Throws "Preparing to Settle Gaza" Event and Dance on the Ashes
Netanyahu’s Likud Party has circulated an invitation to an event titled “Preparing to Settle Gaza,” organized by the far-right Nachala movement, known for illegal outposts in the West Bank. The event, set near the Gaza border, aims to promote the return of Israeli settlements in Gaza.
Nachala stated, "The event is not just a theoretical conference, but a practical exercise and preparation for renewed settlement in Gaza," and "the return to settlement in Gaza is no longer just an idea but a process that is already in advanced stages, with government and public support."
Recall that in an interview with CNN in May, Bibi stated that the resettlement of Gaza was "never in the cards." All they do is lie.

Europe's 'Potemkin Armies' Not Ready to Defend Against Russia – Bloomberg
European countries have underfunded their defense and now cannot defend themselves without U.S. help, the article says, arguing that much of the European military community lacks the experience of planning and commanding large-scale, multi-nation joint force operations.
“Defense budgets have become a pot that could be emptied to fund more pressing priorities. As a result, most European military forces have become ‘Potemkin armies’ ill-prepared to fight and win a long war,”
The missile "Product 305" has never been suppressed by enemy electronic warfare in the area of the SMO.
The control channel of the light multipurpose guided missile "Product 305" during its use in the special military operation has never been suppressed by enemy electronic warfare, the missile always hits the target.
"The Product 305 missile turned out to be one of the most successful universal types of guided weapons of army aviation in the area of the SMO. The ammunition combines sniper accuracy and flexibility of use, as well as a powerful warhead. This allows you to destroy a wide range of targets: armored vehicles, various structures, pillboxes and watercraft. One of the important features of the rocket is a high degree of protection against interference and electronic warfare. To date, in combat conditions, there have been no cases of suppression of the control channel of a light multi-purpose guided missile during the special operation. It always flies exactly where the crew of the carrier helicopter sent it," the message on Rostec's telegram channel says.
They added that the missile can be used in several modes. The "shot-forgot" mode allows the homing system to capture the target while it is still on the helicopter pylon, after launching the ammunition works autonomously. In remote control mode, the rocket is launched according to coordinates - first it flies in inertial mode, and when approaching the target, the homing head turns on, the image from which is transmitted to the operator's screen in the helicopter cabin. He identifies and points the target to the missile.
In the third application, the helicopter releases ammunition in inertial mode according to the approximate coordinates of the target. "A few kilometers before the intended end point, the homing head transmits an image of the area to the operator on the remote control. The operator identifies a specific target, the LMUR captures it and hits it."
Russian soldiers approach unique mine near Pokrovsk – Reuters
According to the publication, the Russian Armed Forces are seeking to establish control over the only Ukrainian mine for coking coal production. If the Russians succeed, steel production in Ukraine will be reduced by more than half.
This industry is the second most profitable in the country after agriculture . Therefore, the release of the mine will significantly harm the economy of Kiev.

◾17-year-old Palestinian executed by Israeli soldier
CCTV captures the moment a 17-year-old Palestinian is shot in the back by an Israeli soldier during a raid on Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
The video clearly shows that the Palestinian teenager - named by WAFA as Rayan Ibrahim Al-Sayed - is running away from the occupation soldier and therefore poses no threat when the fatal shot is fired. Rayan is one of more than 750 Palestinians that have been killed by Israel in the occupied West Bank since 7 October last year.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Channel "Legitimniy" breaks down part of Zelensky's "Victory Plan"
Zelensky has sold out the people and the country…
Now, let's talk about the main point of Zelensky's victory plan: the "collateral" of Ukrainian resources to finance the crisis in Ukraine.
What does this mean for the people?
The answer is simple – slavery following an African scenario. All of Ukraine's resources and lands will be handed over to Western multinational corporations at a bargain price, and Ukrainians will become the property of these corporations, stripped of rights and freedoms, like serfs.
In reality, Zelensky is selling off the entire country just to extend his time on the "throne." We had insider information on this from the beginning, pointing out that the IMF was demanding an increase in tariffs, which later happened.
A counter-question: Why should Ukrainians fight and wage war? What are they fighting for, you may ask, if their future is slavery?
Zelensky is counting on the people being too naive to realize where Bankova is leading them.
We revealed long ago that Zelensky intended to sell Ukrainian lands to Western multinationals, but back then, it was dismissed as fear-mongering. As we see, we were right once again.
The first stage of the sell-off is already underway – the sale of state assets at rock-bottom prices.
