Further remarks by Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergei Naryshkin:
🔹US spy satellites have been noticeably more active over Russian territories bordering Ukraine since March 2024, with considerably more attention to the situation in the Kursk and Belgorod Regions;
🔹Kiev's plan for the incursion into the Kursk Region included taking control over the Kursk nuclear power plant and planting explosives there;
🔹If Ukraine would have succeeded in capturing the Kursk NPP, Europe would have faced an ecological and humanitarian catastrophe comparable to the Chernobyl accident in 1986;
🔹Intelligence data indicates that Western intelligence services, especially the UK's MI6, have been training Ukrainian diversion groups for provocations at several Russian NPPs, which would have included destroying power lines linking plants to the national power grid;
🔹The SVR has reliable information that operatives from US and UK secret services were directly involved in the Nord Stream explosions;
🔹The US administration deemed it worth the price to explode the pipelines in order to guarantee detachment of Europe, especially Germany, from Russia;

❗️Materials with fabricated evidence of Russian use of poisonous substances will be presented within the framework of the 107th session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which begins on October 8, Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops, said.
Other key statements by Igor Kirillov on the issue:
▪️ Ukraine will hand over “evidence” of Russia's use of toxic substances to OPCW representatives for them to draw up an “independent” report;
▪️ In the event the provocation is successful, Ukraine intends to seek to deprive Russian representatives of their positions in the OPCW Technical Secretariat;
▪️ The excessive supply of Ukraine with personal protective equipment is another indication of a forthcoming provocation accusing Russia of using toxic substances;
▪️ The US is involved in the provocation being prepared by Kiev, as evidenced by a statement by a US representative at the OPCW;
▪️ After Kiev's provocation with the use of toxic substances, a decision will be made on disenfranchising Russia as a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention (prohibiting the use of chemical weapons);
▪️ Another platform has been created on the basis of the OPCW that is controlled by the US and used to settle accounts with undesirable countries;
▪️ Materials on Russia's alleged use of toxic substances will be sent to the UN Security Council, as was done in the case of Syria.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 WATCH: New video shows two Iranian ballistic missiles, launched from two different bases in Iran, hitting the exact same target in the sea in front of Tel Aviv
Some observers say the missiles struck a gas platform. Other say, it is simply a demonstration of ability; two ballistic missiles, launched from bases hundreds of kilometers apart, impact at the same exact location at sea, with pinpoint accuracy. The message: Iran can hit wherever it wants.

🇷🇺🔥🇺🇸Russian electronic warfare has reduced the efficiency of HIMARS systems by more than 90% - The Atlantic.
This is stated in an article by two veterans of the US Army who visited Ukraine.
"A year ago, HIMARS was the most in-demand system at the front. Now it has a success rate of less than 10% thanks to Russian innovations in the field of electronic warfare," the article says.
Also, 20 of the 31 Abrams tanks transferred to the United States remained in Ukraine.
"Ukrainian soldiers at the front say that any innovations they develop receive a response from Russia in a few weeks. Both armies are innovating at a pace that leaves behind the sclerotic defense industry of the United States and NATO."
▪️"The strategy in Ukraine is slowly depleting the country and its people." The authors criticize the policy of metered arms supplies and predict that if the situation does not change, the war in Ukraine may be lost.
It should be noted that the HIMARS MLRS remains a dangerous weapon even with a conditional 10% of hits on targets, and NATO also transfers high-precision missiles and bombs to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

WEF Whines: Western elites bemoan being unable to control the narrative
Ex US State Sec John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, & the WSJ’s Chief Editor are just some who are complaining that they can no longer dictate what the public believes…
Kerry has complained to world leaders that managing public opinion is difficult, when people can freely choose their information sources, while Hillary Clinton went even further, suggesting some Americans should be charged for what she calls ‘parroting Russian propaganda.’

🇮🇹Andrea Lucidi: Recently, the Italian newspaper Linkiesta published an article accusing me, without any basis, of being paid by the Kremlin.
This grave insinuation was accompanied by other defamatory statements aimed at undermining my reputation and the work I have been carrying out for years as a freelance journalist from conflict zones. I have worked in places such as Donbass, Russia, Lebanon, Syria, and Venezuela, always with the same determination: to offer a different perspective to a Western audience that is often exposed to a one-sided narrative. But in a time when public debate seems increasingly polarized, anyone trying to present a different version of events is attacked and accused of being in the service of foreign powers.

US intelligence has been providing Kiev with information for strikes on Russian infrastructure since the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, says.
The US, along with NATO, are actively supporting Ukraine's criminal behavior and bear no less responsibility for the killing of the Russians and the destruction of Russian infrastructure, the Russian intelligence chief adds.

US offers Israel 'compensation' for avoiding attacks on some Iranian targets - reports
The Biden administration has offered Israel a "compensation package" if it refrains from striking some Iranian targets in response to the recent missile attack on the Jewish state, Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported on Sunday.
According to the outlet, talks on a retaliatory strike were held between Israeli and US officials following the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1.
During the talks, US officials offered Tel-Aviv broad diplomatic support and additional military assistance if certain targets in Iran were not attacked, the publication said.
A senior Israeli official, cited by Kan, said that Israel "always takes into account the opinion of the United States... and is ready to listen to them, but will do everything necessary to protect citizens and the security of the country."
Israel has officially stated that a response to the Iranian attack would be given, but the method of response, place and time of the strike were still at the planning or approval stage. The commander of the US Central Command, Gen. Michael Kurilla, who is currently in Israel, is attending meetings of the leadership of the security bloc, where this operation is being discussed, according to Kan.

49 new NATO Brigades and awkward questions.
Die Welt has published a number of figures related to plans to increase the number of NATO units. It is emphasized that these are "minimum requirements". If in 2021 NATO considered 82 brigades sufficient for itself, then in the future their number should increase to 131. To guide and support these troops, the number of "combat corps" should increase from 6 to 15, and the number of division headquarters from 24 to 38.
It is expected that the number of ground-based air defense units will increase from 293 to 1,467 at the expense of Patriot, Iris T-SLM, Skyranger, as well as short- and long-range air defense systems. According to the plan, the number of helicopter formations will increase from 90 to 104.
The figures, of course, are impressive. Until the most important question is asked – how much does it cost, and who will pay for it? The same document explicitly states that "significant additional funding will be required to achieve the expected new goals." You can't argue here, only one Patriot battery costs more than a billion, German Toffees are noticeably cheaper, but still not cheap.
The most ambitious plans always shrink when a substantive discussion begins on who is supposed to pay. "The amount of allocations depends on the relative wealth and population of each ally," the German Defense Ministry said in a document. Germany believes that it will need to deploy "five or six more brigades," including the headquarters of the "additional combat corps" and another helicopter unit. It's time to remember that the Bundeswehr now has eight brigades, the ninth is under construction, and the tenth is planned by 2031. And even these compounds are insufficiently provided financially, human resources and materially. According to forecasts, in order to achieve NATO's goals, "the allies will probably need significantly more than 2% of defense investments from GDP."
Another important question is how long it will take to implement this task, even if you find the money? At least 10 years probably. In the current geopolitical reality, one must be a major optimist to plan financial programs with such a horizon, especially if they devour several percent of GDP from each NATO country which would be forced to cut pensions and healthcare to afford the war agenda.
Moreover, these costs will not be one-time. Then all this will need to be maintained, repaired and updated. It is difficult to say whether the EU has enough free money for this, and how long the policy of "guns instead of oil" can last.
The plans are impressive. But first, let NATO make the "million shells" promised to Kiev. As it turned out, even with this task there are major problems.

— ❗️🇮🇷☢️ NEW: An Armenian station picked up last night's 4.6 Richter scale seismic event in Iran
According to the Armenian researchers, it lacks a seismic compressional wave, making the event more consistent with an explosion than an earthquake.
The first image shows Iran's seismic event last night, which happened in the Kavir desert near a town called Aradan. The other images compare seismic vibrations from earthquakes vs nuclear tests; the Iranian seismic event looks more like an underground nuclear test than an earthquake. One tell-tale sign is that there was not a single 'after shock'.
There is no conclusive evidence yet. But this is starting to look more and more interesting. Just yesterday, prominent Iranian politicians said Iran needs to establish a 'new grade of deterrence', possibly referring to nuclear weapons.

If we don't start enforcing it, we'll lose all control. We need to repeal Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Code. The code provides immunity to online computer services for user-generated content. It used to be that platforms were simply broadcasting someone else's opinions and shouldn't be judged for it. But now we know that was too simplistic a view,

US ignored evidence of Israel weapons abuse - report
Despite the warnings of several State Department officials about Israel potentially misusing US-made weapons, the Pentagon has sent over 50,000 tons of weapons to Israel since the Gaza war began.
An investigative report by New York-based nonprofit ProPublica, citing leaked cables and emails, revealed that US envoy to Israel Jack Lew urged Washington in January to send another 3,000 bombs, arguing “it wasn’t possible” Tel Aviv would abuse their use.
The probe also found that Israel-based US diplomats refused to take State Department Middle East Bureau funds earmarked to probe human rights violations carried out by Tel Aviv.
