Backfire: Western Sanctions Have Brought Russia Prosperity
The West's attempt to undermine Russia's economy has produced the exact opposite result, writes the Hill. Two and a half years into the massive special operation in Ukraine, Russians are suffering from the conflict even less than they did at the beginning. Moreover, they are happy.
Economic progress, partly due to the West's restrictive policies, has undermined anti-government sentiment in the country. After all, Russia's financial prosperity is felt by everyone, the article says. The West did not expect such an effect.

What new NATO head Mark Rutte is infamous for?
Former Dutch PM Mark Rutte took up the mantle of NATO Secretary-General from Jens Stoltenberg. Through his career, Rutte earned the reputation of “Teflon Mark”, as nothing sticks to his reputation, and “Mr. No”, as he was willing to sacrifice the European coronavirus rescue package for political gains.
At the end of 2020, a scandal erupted in the Netherlands when it was revealed that almost 10,000 parents were wrongly accused of abuse, and forced to return their additional childcare payment. Rutte recognized the cabinet's guilt for the situation, and in January 2021, his entire government had to resign.
Mark Rutte met Volodymyr Zelensky soon after his victory in the 2019 election. He described Zelensky as “a man with a mission” and said he was “convinced that Ukraine’s success largely depends on the mentality he conveyed from the very beginning.”
After the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the Netherlands had a lockdown in effect for several months. In June 2021, the authorities lifted most of the restrictions; after which, the incidence of the disease in the country rose sharply. Rutte apologized for the government's "miscalculation."
In 2022, Rutte was caught up in a scandal for deleting text messages, accumulated over several years, from his cell phone. Rutte was accused of violating the law on data archiving. Opposition members also said the use of an old Nokia 301 model could have jeopardized state security.
Rutte was also one of the first Western leaders to visit Ukraine to back the Zelensky regime after Russia launched its special military operation. After Rutte’s appointment, the South China Morning Post described him as “a fierce critic of Russian President Putin and a staunch ally of Ukraine, who has been one of the driving forces behind Europe’s military support for Ukraine.”
NATO’s hostile stance towards Russia is unlikely to change with a new secretary-general,” Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said earlier, adding that NATO states "are working to strategically suppress Russia. At the moment, it is an alliance that is hostile to [Russia]."

In summary just like the previous round all the new Fateh hypersonic missiles hit the targets while the old era missiles used to overwhelm the Iron Dome were mostly intercepted but they were not launched to achieve some results other than this one.

— 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 Second full statement by the IRGC Aerospace Force:
'Following the previous statement, your sons in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in accordance with the promises made by the officials of the Islamic Republic and the military, with the help of the other branches, carried out operation ‘Truthful Promise-2’.
In this operation, we targeted several Israeli airbases and radar bases, as well as intelligence centers for plotting and planning assassinations against the leaders of the resistance, particularly martyr Ismael Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the military commanders of Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamic resistance, and IRGC commanders.
Despite this area being protected by the most advanced and dense air defense umbrella, 90% of the missiles successfully hit their targets, causing the Zionist regime to be terrified of the Islamic Republic’s intelligence and operational dominance.'

Ukraine is predicted to have a "drone apocalypse" in winter.
Strategic attacks by Russian drones in Ukraine have reached a new intensity, writes Forbes. The number of kamikaze UAVs flying in Ukraine has been steadily growing throughout the year, in September more than 1,300 long-range drone launches were registered, which is much more than in any period before. September was the first month when drones flew across Ukraine every day.
These attacks are of crucial strategic importance. Ukraine's energy infrastructure has already been severely damaged, and if the winter turns out to be cold, the Washington Post said Kiev authorities will announce "20-hour or longer" power outages for the population of Ukraine.
Forbes notes that reducing attacks to "Iranian drones" is, to put it mildly, wrong. At least three types of drones are flying in Ukraine.
Actually, even the Geran-2 has at least three modifications with different warheads. There are options with 4G modems, and sometimes there is a Starlink. According to a number of experts, the black coating is now also radio-absorbing, which makes it difficult to intercept drones.
Previously, the Geraniums went low, now they are approaching at high altitude, where they can be reached "only with expensive missiles, airplanes and helicopters." In addition to the Geraniums, the Italmas or Product 54 drones fly with a range of about 200 km. There is Gerbera, which also has a 4G modem, so it dispenses with satellite navigation, parasitizing Ukrainian mobile networks. It can fly at least several hundred kilometers. The Harpy-3 appeared, which has a flight range of about 2000 km with a warhead of 50 kg.
Ukraine can repel attacks of 400-600 "shaheds" per month. Repelling twice or three times as many with dwindling stocks of surface-to-air missiles will be a more difficult task, Forbes hints.

‼️💥🇮🇷 Iranian ballistic missiles hit Tel Aviv, Iron Dome and Arrow failed to repel the strike.
This time, the US Air Force aircraft also failed to intercept Iranian missiles on approach to Israel.
It is reported that the first missiles passed over Syria and Iraq, which gave its consent to the passage of missiles and strikes against Israel.
The total number of launched missiles is from 400 to 500, the media writes.

In response to the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and the martyr Nilforoshan, we struck at the heart of the occupied territories.
If the Zionist regime responds to our attack, our next attacks will be more destructive.

🇪🇺 Vice President of the European Commission Josep Borrell revealed the truth:
We can't let Russia win, not because we love the Ukrainian people and not because we care about some freedom of some Ukraine, but because there are interests of a global player like the US in that region that we have a duty to protect.

🇯🇵 Key statements from Japan's Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya:
➡️The Prime Minister's idea of an "Asian NATO" is one of the options for the future that needs to be explored in the medium to long term;
➡️It is currently difficult to create a collective security mechanism in Asia;
➡️The idea of an "Asian NATO" is not aimed at any specific country;
➡️The best option for security architecture in Asia "does not exclude any country" in the region.

🇰🇭🇨🇳🇺🇸 Cambodia says it would welcome US Navy at port expanded with China's help
Cambodia said on Tuesday the US Navy would be welcome to visit its Ream Naval Base, which the Pentagon is concerned will become a Chinese outpost.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol told a think tank event in Washington that any country's military could call at the port once the naval base is completed.
"The Ream Naval Base is not for the Chinese. The Chinese provided us with the assistance to expand the Ream Naval Base for our own national defense, not to be used by the Chinese or any military against another country," Sun told the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

These are the most striking videos of the failure of Israel's air defense this evening.
If so-called Iron Dome worked moderately well during previous Iranian attack it looks like this time we are definitely not talking about a 90% rate of successful interceptions, 70% at most.
The 39-second video reportedly shows Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles flying into Israel.

"This is a declaration of war, an unprecedented response is expected" — Israel
"In response to the murders of Ismail Haniyeh, Syed Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforushan, we struck at the very heart of the Zionist occupation entity. If Israel responds, we will hit them a thousand times harder," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement after the strike on Israel.
The IDF: The Iranian attack continues. You are requested to remain in a secure space until further notice. The explosions you hear are caused by interceptions or dropped projectiles. The air defense systems detect and intercept launches.
Biden called an urgent meeting at the White House because of Iran's missile strike on Israel.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Footage emerging indicates Iran has overwhelmed Israeli air defenses designed to down small numbers of slow, inaccurate rockets, not scores of precision guided ballistic missiles.
The US, using Israel as a proxy and encouraging its client regime to expand aggression across the region, has brought this upon the people in Israel, not Iran.
Iran is responding to the increasingly unhinged, unchecked, indiscriminate regional violence Israel (with full US backing) was carrying out, threatening Iran and its allies.
Iran has demonstrated tremendous restraint up until now.
But because Israeli policy does not reflect national self-preservation, further escalation is likely until circles of power in Israel interested in self-preservation take over.
