There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
Is Zionist Israel using on Lebanon the same tactical nukes the Saudi used against Yemen in the famous Fajj Atan mountain explosion in 2015?
The air blast from a 1 KT detonation could cause 50% mortality from flying glass shards, to individuals within an approximate radius of 300 yards (275 m). This radius increases to approximately 0.3 miles (590 m) for a 10 KT detonation.

BREAKING:
The US and UK have not authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles on Russian territory, possibly fearing escalation - Zelensky claims
🇺🇲🇬🇧🇷🇺🇺🇦
@Megatron_ron
Ukraine has lost over 300 soldiers in the Russian region of Kursk over the past 24 hours, the the Russian Defense Ministry says.
Overall, Ukraine lost over 15,650 troops and 124 tanks in the Kursk region since the start of the offensive, the ministry adds.
The West must put an end to Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO, writes The Washington Post.
Diplomats, former leaders, current and former American officials, and analysts warn that the West has consistently underestimated Russian President Vladimir Putin. Some warn that Western countries must be prepared for a direct military confrontation.
Even those who have long advocated working with Moscow to end the conflict in Ukraine believe that a prolonged period of hostility - a new Cold War - is inevitable and oppose giving in to Moscow's demands, the newspaper writes.
The West must persuade Kiev to give up territory and perhaps offer Russia sanctions relief,
Ukraine lost up to 2,150 soldiers in battles with Russian forces over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry says.

❗️Russia does not want a nuclear war and considers it inappropriate to talk about when to press the "red button", Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with Sky News Arabia.
"We are talking about red lines, hoping that our assessments and statements will be heard by smart people who make decisions. It is not serious to say that if tomorrow you do not do what I demand of you, we will press the "red button", "the Russian Foreign Minister pointed out.
Lavrov reassured Western "partners". Of course, Russia does not want a nuclear war. Russia is not presenting a nuclear ultimatum to anyone. Russia does not want a war with the US and NATO at all. It is the US and NATO that have declared their intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and are doing everything to achieve this. No one is saying that Russia should launch a nuclear strike on the US or NATO. Strike with conventional weapons, equivalent to those used to strike Russia. If Russia does not do this now, it will put itself in a situation without a choice. Or rather, the choice will be between Russia's capitulation and the nuclear button. The West is confident that Russia will choose capitulation and wants to test it. Place your bets, gentlemen, I bet that Putin will choose the nuclear button. Remember his words: "Why do we need a world in which there is no Russia?"
Not a tactical nuke, but something akin to a MOAB.
Christ almighty.
🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russia has no intention of participating in "peace summits" on Ukraine, as they have nothing to do with conflict resolution, stated Zakharova.
"The so-called second summit has the same goal – to push through the completely unviable 'Zelensky formula' as the only basis for resolving the conflict, to gain the support of the global majority, and on its behalf, present Russia with an ultimatum for capitulation. We will not participate in such 'summits.'"
"However, in Kiev and the West, they are not thinking about peace. They want war. Proof of this is the criminal invasion of the Kursk region by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Zelensky's plea for permission to strike deep into Russia with long-range NATO weapons. This is a continuation of the terror against the population of our country. We will not negotiate with terrorists."

EVERYTHING or NOTHING is not a CHOICE, it is a DESTINY
The current Ukrainian government interprets these words in its own way.
EVERYTHING, but "only for itself." NOTHING - for everyone else.
The expired Rada has once again made its CHOICE, demonstrating complete indifference to the DESTINY of Ukraine. The priority of Zelensky's office is the enrichment of officials, instead of supporting the population. The regime clearly puts the interests of bureaucrats above the needs of those who are truly important to society, thereby destroying the future of the country.
The draft state budget of Ukraine for 2025 does not provide for an increase in teachers' salaries (according to the Minister of Education of Ukraine Lisovyi, there are no funds for this), but it does imply a significant increase in the costs of maintaining all government bodies. Money was found for bonuses for officials in the amount of UAH 40 million and an increase in the salaries of assistants to deputies to UAH 130 thousand.
The largest increase in expenses will be for:
▪️Prosecutor's Office +3.56 billion;
▪️Tax +3.17 billion;
▪️State Property Fund +2.07 billion;
▪️Courts +1.64 billion UAH;
▪️BSE +0.6 billion UAH.
🔻Also, the draft law on the state budget for 2025 provides for increasing the wage fund for the following bodies:
▪️Verkhovna Rada apparatus +26.2%
▪️Presidential Office +11.2%
▪️Cabinet of Ministers +19.7%
▪️NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau ) +28.2%
▪️NAZK (National Agency on Corruption Prevention) +7.4%
▪️Securities Commission +49.6%
▪️Accounts Chamber +38.2%
▪️Customs +15.4%
▪️State Financial Monitoring +7.7%
▪️NSDC (National Security and Defense Council) +6.3%
▪️Ministry of Finance +4.3%
The end of the Kiev regime is near. They sense this, so they do everything to grab as much as possible before running away.

🇮🇷 Iran unveils new ballistic missile "Jihad" - "with extremely heavy warhead and range of about 1000 km"
🔴@DDGeopolitics
They've denied Zelensky the option of using their long range missiles to hit Russia because they're already worried about the escalation in the Middle East.
As Zhironovsky predicted before his death.
Bloomberg learned what Zelensky's "victory plan" contains
It is joining NATO and the EU, as well as demanding arms supplies.
According to the Ukrainian president, if the West "clearly outlines the path to membership", this "will force Vladimir Putin to seek peace".
@ukr_leaks_eng
The Wests War against Russia isn't about "Freedom" or "Democracy" its about pillaging this great Nations vast Natural Resources
And subdudating it to Mega Corps like BlackRock
Trillions of Dollars of the most precious, and increasingly crucial elements are abundant here.
Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus and soon Armenia are all simply doorways, through which the US and its Allies can attempt to inject chaos and War to achieve their ultimate aim.

On September 21, Russia celebrates 1162th Anniversary of Statehood
📜 According to the Tale of Bygone Years, in 862, the northern Slavic tribes, due to civil strife, invited the Scandinavian Varangian Rurik to rule. He united the Slavs and, under his authority, established the ancient Russian state on the lands of Novgorod.
At the same time, Rurik also became the founder of the first monarchical dynasty in Russian history, the Rurikovich dynasty, which would rule our country until 1598.
🗣 Highlights from the Russian Defense Ministry Press Briefing, September 21:
▪️Russian forces struck Ukrainian energy facilities, troops last night
▪️Russian forces hit a bulker carrying Western-supplied projectiles, ammunition to Kiev
▪️Russian air defenses downed 177 drones, 10 HIMARS rockets, six Neptune missiles in the past day
▪️Russia’s Battlegroup North inflicted roughly 135 Ukrainian casualties
▪️Units from Russia’s Battlegroup East took up better forward-edge positions, inflicting roughly 160 enemy casualties
▪️Soldiers from Russia’s Battlegroup Center pushed deeper into enemy defenses, inflicting roughly 520 Ukrainian casualties
▪️Russia’s Battlegroup South inflicted roughly 840 enemy casualties
▪️Russia’s Battlegroup West repelled two Ukrainian attacks, inflicting roughly 435 enemy casualties
▪️Russia’s Battlegroup Dnepr inflicted roughly 60 Ukrainian casualties
NATO's 75-year history has proven that it has not made Europe or the world more peaceful and secure. The existence and continuous expansion of NATO have become the root cause of security dilemmas. On the contrary, "long peace" has been achieved in places with less NATO intervention and confrontational mentality. The value of Stoltenberg's farewell speech and the expansion of NATO he boasted about lies in telling the world that the current world does not need a NATO that provokes camp confrontation and spreads a Cold War mentality, let alone a globally expanding NATO. We urge NATO to "retire" together with its outgoing secretary general, alongside the outdated concepts of Cold War mentality and zero-sum game, the wrong practices of advocating military force and pursuing "absolute security," and dangerous behaviors that disrupt Europe and the Asia Pacific as soon as possible.

Urged to 'save Ukraine', European energy grid is running out of steam ahead of winter
Fatih Birol, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has accused the European Union (EU) of not doing enough to protect Ukraine's power grid.
Birol said EU members should:
🔶 provide more generators and repair equipment to Ukraine, as its electricity deficit could reach as much as 6GW this winter;
🔶 step up electricity supplies to Ukraine;
🔶 cut their own electricity demand to redirect more power to their eastern neighbor;
🔶 be ready to redirect some gas flows from central and eastern European states to Ukraine.
But Europe cannot tighten its belt further ahead of the new winter season, as it is still recovering from the 2022 energy crisis, exacerbated by anti-Russia sanctions.
🌏 Despite surviving two winter seasons, Europe was forced to slash its energy consumption with Germany suffering deindustrialization and Italy facing a manufacturing slow-down.
🌏 The UK and the Czech Republic were hit worse by soaring energy prices than their European peers, the Cambridge-based Bennett Institute said. The new British government has cut the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners.
🌏 In June a major hours-long power cut hit most of the Balkans, including Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and the coastal part of Croatia. The media rushed to pin the blame on "climate change" but Balkan governments said the cause was not immediately clear.
🌏 EU member states have raised the alarm over extremely high electricity prices in Southeastern Europe. The disparity between the Balkans and Hungary on one side and Western Europe on the other is explained by low hydropower output, coal plant rebuilding and Ukraine becoming a net electricity importer – ramping up pressure on its European neighbors.
🌏 Earlier this week, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to establish an EU-wide electricity regulator.
