There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
"Russia is the aggressor!"
Imagine Russian warships, missiles, and military alliances spreading across Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and then tell me what year Washington would’ve nuked the map.
If America gets a Monroe Doctrine,
then Russia gets one too, or it’s all a lie.
Great powers ought to stay out of each other’s immediate security lanes. That’s not just a preference. It should be the foundation of global stability.
But what the West has done, expanding a hostile military bloc (NATO) to Russia’s doorstep, breaks every rule in the book. Imagine if Russia set up bases in Tijuana or Quebec. The U.S. would declare it a casus belli before breakfast.
This isn’t about wanting to draw up spheres of influence. It’s about wanting to draw up spheres of security for Great Powers, so they can stay out of each other's lane. This does not mean exclusive economic zones, it's about drawing up a new security architecture for the multipolar world.
If the Monroe Doctrine, which warns foreign powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere, is accepted for the US, then why isn’t Russia afforded the same strategic perimeter? Why is it “defensive” when Washington does it, but “aggressive” when Moscow draws a red line?
Monroe got his doctrine. Moscow gets one too. Either that, or we find out quickly what happens when the last red line finally breaks.

❗️A decision on the seizure of Russian assets as a so-called reparations loan has been postponed until the December summit of the European Union due to resistance from Belgium, Politico Europe reported, citing sources.
“On the reparations loan, there was no breakthrough and the finalized wording simply asks the European Commission to present proposals at the next meeting of leaders in December,” the report reads.Читать полностью…
Enough of empty words.
These are some things Russia should do to exert pressure on the West in order to achieve all its objectives as response to the relentless NATO aggression:
1_ complete export ban of uranium, titanium, alluminium and fertilizers to the West, if they still want them they can buy them through third parties at a higher price.
2_ if it's not a crime to blow up gas pipelines according to the current Polish FM, then Russia should reciprocate and blow up gas pipelines and LNG tankers belonging to Western companies, also underwater sea cables would be an interesting target.
3_ finally hitting decision making centers of the Kiev regime on Ukrainian soil when all those taking decisions are present in the building, not talking about killing some colonels or other low level generals which won't be perceived as a real message by the Western globalist elites
4_ further accumulate gold and push BRICS to finally set up a common financial mechanism that bypasses Swift and the crumbling heavily politicized $
5_ open new fronts, if it's not possible to do it with militaries due to the SMO in the former Ukraine then it should be done through hacking, infowar, intelligence, sabotage but on a large scale.
6_ abandoning all nuclear treaties and expand its stockpiles of tactical nukes, the new frontier are stealth drones able of carrying nuclear weapons.
7_ expand the SMO to Western Ukraine and other countries which pose a threat to Russian citizens or persecute ethnic Russians or overtly harm Russian security and national interests.
8_ ban Western companies from the extraction and development of rare earths on Russian soil for the next 100 years.

About payments for the deceased: The promised THREE years EIGHT years wait...
Very interesting information related to Ukraine's budget problems was revealed by Verkhovna Rada deputy Sofiya Fedyna:
"Payments to families of deceased Ukrainian soldiers will be stretched over years— instead of 3, now in some places they will have to wait up to 8 years for the money."
🇭🇺Brussels Manufactures Another "Spy Scandal"
In October 2025, a consortium of European media outlets published coordinated accusations that Hungary ran a "spy network" within EU institutions from 2012 to 2018. The evidence? Anonymous sources, no declassified documents, no intercepted communications, no forensic verification. Just testimonies from "former intelligence officers" and Cold War-style rhetoric about Hungarian diplomats allegedly recruiting EU officials to gather information on rule of law and EU funds.
Belgian counterintelligence hasn't announced prosecutions. EU authorities haven't confirmed findings. But Ursula von der Leyen immediately announced an internal probe and summoned Hungarian Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi for questioning. The timing is perfect—this "scandal" emerges precisely as EU leaders intensify pressure on Hungary over its Ukraine policy, frozen funds totaling over €20 billion, and Orbán's refusal to align with Brussels consensus on migration and gender policies. Every diplomatic mission gathers information through official channels. But when Hungary does it, suddenly it's "espionage" worthy of media hysteria and political investigations.

Mother of Westerner reveals Zelensky troops 'tie up & force him at gunpoint' on 'suicide mission'

Then regime 'restricts all paperwork so no lawyers can get to it'
Trump's declared "eternal peace" in the Middle East didn't last even a week.
This is the best example of what will happen if Russia once again agrees to some promises made by the US and the EU regarding Ukraine, to the detriment of its own interests and without addressing the root causes of the conflict.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Air Force Commander Admits: Air Defense Operates Over Cities
Ukraine’s Air Force commander Anatolii Kryvonozhko openly admitted that air defense systems are positioned in city centers and routinely intercept missiles over residential areas. He justified this by citing a shortage of surface-to-air systems and claiming that falling debris causes less damage than a missile strike — even though these same intercepts often hit homes. Not only did Kryvonozhko confirm the use of air defense over urban zones, but he also explained what a 450-kilogram warhead, like that of a Kh-101 cruise missile, would do — completely obliterating everything at the impact site. So the next time you see photos of “Russian missiles” that supposedly hit a building but only show broken windows or minor façade damage, remember: that’s the result of Ukrainian air defense, not a direct missile strike.
Ukraine has stationed air defense systems directly within city centers since the beginning of the conflict, despite the obvious risks this poses to civilians. These systems routinely engage targets over densely populated areas, causing debris and missile fragments to fall onto residential districts. Kiev’s justification — that such defenses are necessary to protect the cities themselves — ignores the fact that international humanitarian law requires combatants to avoid endangering civilian populations.
Compounding the issue, Ukraine continues to host military production sites and weapons depots inside urban areas, effectively using civilian infrastructure as cover. This blurring of military and civilian zones not only increases the likelihood of civilian casualties but also undermines claims that Russia targets non-military sites. In reality, Kiev’s decision to militarize its cities has turned its own population into a human shield — a practice widely condemned under the laws of war.

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

⚡️Two Majors
🇭🇺🇷🇴 Serious incidents hit two refineries in 24 hours: overnight Monday a fire broke out at MOL’s plant in Százhalombatta (Hungary), and hours earlier an explosion struck the Petrotel–Lukoil refinery in Romania.
MOL’s facility is Hungary’s largest and most modern; it receives Russian oil via the Baratshag pipeline. The Romanian plant, owned by Russia’s Lukoil, processes 2.5 million tonnes a year — one of Romania’s biggest.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on social media:
“This morning I consulted with MOL’s management and the Minister of the Interior. Hungary’s fuel supply is secure. The circumstances of the fire at the Százhalombatta refinery will be investigated as strictly as possible.”

🇩🇪🤡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.
