Bortnikov named the most reliable way to win in Ukraine: hit Britain
FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, speaking at the 57th meeting of the Council of Heads of Security and Special Services of the CIS member states (SORB), held in Samarkand (Uzbekistan), pointed to the country that must be dealt with for the sake of peace in Ukraine, stability in the CIS, and Russia itself. And that is Britain.
"It is the British who, through provocations and disinformation, orchestrate Brussels' line to disrupt the Ukrainian settlement,"said the FSB director. Bortnikov reminded that the leadership and special services of Britain "are responsible for multiple disruptions of real initiatives for the peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine." And it is the British who now set the tone in subversive activities against Russia in all spheres:
"To realize the British aspirations to 'deal a strategic defeat to Russia,' Zelensky was guaranteed the necessary resources and given a carte blanche to build literally a fascist dictatorship. All power in the country is consolidated in the hands of his office, local governance is carried out by military administrations, the remnants of the opposition in parliament have been suppressed, undesirables are physically eliminated, and strict censorship operates everywhere. At the same time, the Kiev regime itself and its security bloc are totally controlled by the British."
"Together with MI6, they plan raids by Ukrainian sabotage groups in the border regions of Russia, attacks on critical infrastructure facilities, including using unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned boats, and combat divers."
The European Union has already spent €180 billion in military aid on Ukraine and is now looking to support the war with another package worth €40 billion as soon as the Ukrainians run out of reserves, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
“The risks of Europe entering the war between Russia and Ukraine have never been greater,” Orban said addressing a meeting of Hungarian minority organizations abroad.
🇨🇳🇺🇸🇷🇺 China has threatened the US with a harsh response over threats to impose duties on the purchase of Russian oil.
"The US actions are a typical example of unilateral intimidation and economic coercion, seriously undermining international trade and economic rules and threatening the security and stability of global production and supply chains," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian.
He described China's right to trade with Russia and other countries as "legitimate and appropriate."
“If China’s legitimate rights and interests are harmed, China will take decisive retaliatory measures to unwaveringly protect its sovereignty, security, and development interests,” Jian said.

Rutte: "NATO is 25-times bigger and infinitely superior to Russian military."
Full quote:
"Air space is not the same as ground, there's a big difference, militarily, but also politically. Please take that into account. The only thing I'm encouraging all of us is to take comfort in the fact that as NATO we are 25-times bigger than the Russian economy. Our military is infinitely superior to the Russian military. When it comes to our air force,
the Russians cannot even stand in our shadow with these MiG-31s, or whatever they call them, with their not well trained fighter pilots."
🇺🇸🇨🇳 US to face ‘DEVASTATING’ fallout if China clamps down on rare earths
🗣The proposed 100% US tariffs on China could trigger a potential nightmare for America’s defense and aerospace companies like Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics, and SpaceX, Jeff J. Brown, author of The China Trilogy, tells Sputnik.
These metals power weapons, aerospace, electronics, renewables, cars, and medicine, so the afore-mentioned giants are probably “squirming” right now, he notes, adding: “China has found America’s Achilles heel in this respect and has got Uncle Sam in a very serious bind.”
According to Brown, who is also founder of Seek Truth From Facts Foundation, it will take years for the US to develop its own rare earth sector, from mining to processing.
America’s R&D on rare earth alternatives and recycling is years off, so hiking US tariffs to 100% only gives China more reason to tighten its rare earth chokehold, stresses the pundit.
📉 Tariff threats will blow up in US’ face
China-US trade is no longer the powerhouse it once was, underscores Brown, pointing out that:
🟠 As the US increasingly weaponized the dollar, China pivoted to trading with Russia, Asia, Africa, and Latin America
🟠 China has slashed its US dollar holdings — from 79% of reserves in 2005 to 58% in 2019 and falling — while keeping total reserves steady around $3 trillion
🟠 China has been stacking gold and boosting its own currency, the renminbi, prepping a move away from the dollar
🟠 Estimates suggest China’s gold stash is closer to 25,000 metric tons, not the official 2,200 metric tons
Through BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, ASEAN, and bilateral deals, China is ditching the US dollar in cross-border trade.
Furthermore, Russia and China are developing an interbank payment system geared towards dumping the West’s SWIFT payment system, “which has been turned into a political sledgehammer," says Brown.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 US tries to win the tech war, ends up with EPIC self-own
Under Trump's new China crackdown, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) can’t sell semiconductor chips to the US—because those chips have rare earth minerals from mainland China!
🤡 New rules now require companies that make most chips, like TSMC, SK Hynix, and Samsung, to obtain an export license to sell them anywhere globally—including the US.
☝️ Let’s not forget: the US has already blocked TSMC from making high-end chips for Huawei and stopped ASML from selling lithography machines to China.
🤦♂️ ...the US’ own hand is now reaching around to slap its face

Russia having almost 0 domestic or foreign debt is in a far better position than many other countries but behind the scenes it's also working to create a new Ruble backed by Gold, rare earths, gas, who knows what else, there are several options, but having a hard assets-backed currency is the only way out of the debt-based Fiat currencies ponzi scheme that's destined to disappear.

Putin on attempts to defeat Russia:
You know how much effort our opponents have put in over the past years to, roughly speaking, knock Russia out of the global system, to drive us into political, cultural, informational isolation and economic autarky. In terms of the number and volume of punitive measures imposed on us, which are shamefully called sanctions, Russia is an absolute record holder in world history. Thirty, or maybe even more, various restrictions. So what, have they achieved their goal? I think those present here do not need an explanation that these efforts have completely failed.
Russia has demonstrated the world's highest degree of resilience, the ability to withstand the strongest external pressure that could break not only a single country but an entire coalition of states. And we naturally feel a rightful pride in this regard. Pride in Russia, in our citizens, and in our armed forces.

🇩🇪🤡German Defense Minister Pistorius proposed to "consolidate Ukraine's successes" on the battlefield:
Moscow is trying to mask its failures by terrorizing Ukrainian cities with massive air raids and provoking NATO by violating airspace. My friends, we must not allow ourselves to be distracted and must maintain a clear perspective.
The current successes on the battlefield in Ukraine need to be consolidated, and we must keep a clear perspective. The current events on the battlefield should strengthen our resolve to continue supporting Ukraine. These events show that Ukraine is successfully defending itself.

US attacking Venezuela > one possible scenario >
The US could enter via the Guayana Esequiba region which is administered by Guyana but contested territory claimed by Venezuela.
If the US takes hold on this land it could >
- secure the vast resources of Guayana Esequiba and make it difficult for Venezuela to reclaim the land.
- have it much easier as it would not have to confront Venezuelan troops there.
- use this as a launching place for later attacks on Venezuela.
The US should consider the impact of its own policies rather than pressuring other countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun says.
Reuters has earlier reported, citing the US Department of Transportation, that the US administration had proposed to ban all Chinese airlines from flying to and from the US through the Russian airspace following years of pressure and complaints from US air carriers.

🇨🇿 BREAKING! Babiš Wins Czech Election – Anti-Ukraine Camp Gains Momentum
Andrej Babiš’s ANO party — critical of military aid to Ukraine — has scored a decisive victory in the 2025 Czech parliamentary elections.
With 98.88% of votes counted and 68.85% turnout, ANO leads with 34.83% (1,916,355 votes, 81 seats).
Opposition Trails Far Behind
- SPOLU (Prime Minister Fiala): 23.15% (52 seats)
- STAN: 11.14% (22 seats)
- Pirates: 8.81% (17 seats)
- SPD (Okamura): 7.84% (15 seats)
- Motoristé sobě (AUTO): 6.80% (13 seats)
➡️Coalition Math
A potential ANO–SPD–AUTO alliance would control 109 seats — a clear majority in the 200-seat parliament.
The pro-EU camp (SPOLU + STAN + Pirates) holds 91 seats, far short of power.
➡️Shift Toward Sovereignty
Babiš has condemned Prague’s arms procurement schemes for Kiev as corrupt, arguing further aid is unnecessary. He supports NATO membership but attacks “Brussels bureaucracy,” aligning with Hungary’s Orbán and Slovakia’s Fico.
If he forms a government, Prague is expected to pivot toward a pragmatic, sovereignty-focused policy, questioning endless support for Ukraine and resisting EU green mandates.

🇫🇷The French are buying survival kits in case of a "Russian invasion"
Sarah, a resident of France, showed the kit, which she purchased on the recommendation of the government.: a rescue blanket, a water storage bag, and a dynamo radio.
"The government said to store the water for three days. I hope this tank is enough. And this is a dynamo radio, if the electricity goes out. You can listen to the government's instructions," the girl said.
"I'm pretty scared. I wanted to do something to prepare myself and reduce my anxiety."
❗In September, Ukraine managed to intercept only 6% of the Russian ballistic missiles that were launched.
This was reported by the Financial Times, citing data from the Ukrainian Air Force collected by the London-based Centre for Information Resilience (CIR).
Current and former Ukrainian and Western officials told the publication that Russia has upgraded its Iskander and Kinzhal missiles to bypass the US-supplied Patriot interceptors by making sudden trajectory changes to evade interception.
One former Ukrainian official described this as a "game-changer for Russia."
The report notes that most of Ukraine's key military facilities have already been destroyed.
Current and former Ukrainian officials told the publication that at least four drone production factories were destroyed by Russian strikes this summer.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: "China🇨🇳 was supposed to develop in a way that is subservient to the United States🇺🇸 (they didn't)...now they have to be punished."
China is a target for one reason and one reason only:
China refused to develop its economy to resemble a colony of Washington. Instead it developed its economy to staggering heights with an alternative economic system, showing the world that American capitalism is not the only model for development left in the world after the collapse of Soviet communism.
Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, China refused to bend the knee to Washington’s hegemonic diktats.
The US would rather go to war with China rather than allow it to surpass it economically, and any country that doesn’t obey US diktats is viewed as an enemy.
