The Kremlin is calling the Washington Post report that Trump and Putin talked on the phone last week "pure fiction," and saying it "absolutely does not correspond to reality."

This, after the WaPo's anonymous sources said Trump warned Putin "not to escalate the war in Ukraine."

One of Trump’s most outspoken campaign promises is that he will end the war in Ukraine. Anonymous insiders claim he would try to “freeze” the conflict, but the reported demands treat Russia as if it is the losing side.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda is here with a cold dose of reality...

We also talked about Russia's latest battlefield advances in the Donbass, and anonymous U.S. officials backing the "North Korean troops fighting in Kursk" story.

It’s official… Trump has been elected the 47th president of the U.S.

The DNC needs to learn that when you force a selected candidate, and campaign on good vibes and empty promises of “reproductive freedom,” it doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re ignoring a genocide.

That being said, we’re now transitioning from endless support for Israel and U.S. backed genocide at the hands of Biden, Harris and Blinken…

…to endless support for Israel and U.S. backed genocide at the hands of Trump, Vance and Pompeo.

It is Election Day here in the United States, and all eyes are on Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris, as polls close around the country and the counting begins. But while they want you to think that they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, they both have a record of acting in the interest of the U.S. Establishment.

Journalist Misty Winston noted that no matter the results of the 2024 election, one thing is clear: “Israel wins, the military industrial complex wins, Wall Street wins, and the American people lose.”

Y'all... Business Insider actually published an article praising Kiev's incursion into Russia's Kursk region by saying it followed the "time-honored tactics" of NAZI GERMANY in the Battle of the Bulge.

They claim that just like the Nazis in 1944, Kiev kept the plan for their incursion from spreading and "resorted to disinformation" to keep it a secret.

While the article does raise the question of whether Kiev's Kursk incursion "will fare better than the Bulge" did for the Nazis, it conveniently ignores the fact that the Battle of the Bulge was Nazi Germany's last major offensive, and ultimately led to their defeat a few months later...

(and yet, Western Media still don't understand the irony of the comparison)

Zelensky is lamenting that there is “no confidentiality” between Kiev and Washington, after the NY Times reported that his latest NATO wish list included the demand for Tomahawk cruise missiles.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that if the U.S. did comply, it would essentially be WW3 against Russia, because the missiles are readily nuclear-capable and have a range that far exceeds the other U.S.-made weapons supplied to Kiev...

After previously saying he couldn’t confirm Zelensky’s claims that North Korean troops were fighting alongside Russia forces, NATO’s new chief Mark Rutte suddenly changed his tune and is claiming that around 10,000 North Korean troops are training in Russia and will likely fight against Kiev’s forces within “the next several weeks.”

While the Pentagon echoed the same sentiment, both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the claim that North Korean troops are fighting alongside Russian forces against Kiev’s incursion in Russia’s Kursk region, or plan to do so in the near future.

When asked about whether North Korean troops were being trained in Russia, under a new security treaty between the two countries, Russian President Putin said, “This is our sovereign decision. Whether we use it or not, where, how, or whether we engage in exercises, training, or transfer some experience. It’s our business.”

Do we realize how close we are to WW3, if not in it already?

Anonymous U.S. officials quoted by Axos say they "believe Iran will respond militarily, but hope it will be limited and allow the two adversaries to break the tit-for-tat cycle."

Yet they refused to listen when Iran retaliated against Israel on Oct. 1 with a barrage of hypersonic ballistic missiles, and warned Israel against responding—noting that Iran would just continue to escalate with each retaliation it carries out.

Now, Israel claims it was "retaliating" by launching a series of strikes that they say targeted "missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the state of Israel over the last year."

But Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded, noting that "Iran does not set any boundaries for itself in protecting and defending its interests and territorial integrity and its people."

The U.S. and Israel are still acting like this is just some "tit-for-tat cycle," when they were the ones who started this by committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza—a genocide that Iran, Hezbollah and the entire Axis of Resistance are responding to.

While the State Dept. claims Blinken gave Netanyahu a lecture about how it's time for a truce in Gaza and Lebanon... Israel's plan appears to be more along the lines of what Netanyahu's office said the two officials talked about: "uniting against Iran."

Journalist and Lawyer Dimitri Lascaris noted that Israel's rampant destruction, from the Gaza Strip to Lebanon, is part of the "Greater Israel" Project—a reminder that for Netanyahu and his friends, the plan is to expand Israel's borders far beyond Palestine...

Israel is unleashing its wrath on the remaining Palestinians in northern Gaza with a siege that is putting the lives of around 400,000 at risk, because they have not complied with Israel's plan to ethnically cleanse the region and make it unlivable.

Here's a clip from this week's episode of 'SANCTIONED w/ Rachel Blevins' where we look at Israel's treatment of northern Gaza over the last year, and its broader plan to remove the Palestinians from their land on the road to "Greater Israel"

U.S. Vetoes Gaza Ceasefire Resolution + the Genocide Case Against Israel w/ Prof. Francis Boyle

The U.S. has vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza for a third time at the UN Security Council. But while the Biden Admin claims it would interfere with a possible hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, Netanyahu has already made a mockery of those talks with further plans to invade Rafah.

Prof. Francis Boyle, a human rights lawyer who represented Bosnia in a genocide case at the ICJ and won two orders in their favor, noted the parallels between his landmark case, and the genocide being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people today.

Wow... Trump's new National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, sounds like he's straight out of the Biden Admin on Ukraine.

He said last week that the U.S. should remove restrictions on Kiev's use of long-range missiles, and "enforce the actual energy sanctions on Russia" in order to try to pressure Russia to negotiate.

Waltz said: "So I think that will get Putin to the table. We have leverage, like taking the handcuffs off of the long-range weapons we provided Ukraine as well. And then, of course, I think we have plenty of leverage with Zelensky to get them to the table."

Waltz also believes the U.S. should return to Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran, should let Israel "finish the job" (AKA THE GENOCIDE) in Gaza, and should arm Taiwan even more with more of a focus on tensions with China.

Here's a clip from this week’s episode of “SANCTIONED w/ Rachel Blevins,” where we look at the other names being mentioned, and how they all seem to have one thing in common: they complete the Republican Trifecta of being pro-Israel, anti-Iran, and anti-China.

It is Election Day here in the U.S. and Trump's campaign appears to be making a last-ditch effort for the Arab American vote, as he visited Dearborn, Michigan, over the weekend and vowed that if elected, "You're going to have peace in the Middle East."

Lebanese Activist and Entrepreneur Hassan Chami noted that while both Trump and Harris are saying what they think Americans want to hear, many voters are either voting for a third-party candidate like Dr. Jill Stein, or not voting at all, because they believe that especially when it comes to U.S. support for Israel in its genocide of the Palestinians, nothing will fundamentally change under the two-party duopoly.

Iranian officials are signaling that Tehran is preparing its retaliation for Israel's attack on Iranian military sites last week, with the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry noting that they will "use all available tools" to respond, and the head of the IRGC vowing, "We will give an unimaginable response to the enemy."

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, of the University of Tehran, noted that while Israel's attack on Iran inflicted limited damage, he believes "it’s been decided that Iran will strike the Israeli regime," because for the Iranians, "what is more important was that this was an act of aggression, and therefore the country has to respond, because if it does not respond, then that will only encourage the Israeli regime to carry out further threats."

While the Pentagon claimed Israel's attack "should be the end of this tit-for-tat" with Iran, Prof. Marandi argued that this is an indicator that Washington does not see Israel's attack as "successful," and that if Israel had been able to seriously harm Iran then, "I don’t think the Americans would want this exchange to end."

Netanyahu is claiming Israel achieved “all its objectives” with its strikes in Iran (without providing any evidence), while also insisting the attack was “retaliation,” as if Iran's ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1 was a standalone event. It wasn't.

Iran noted then that it was retaliating for multiple targeted assassinations carried out by Israel, and other massacres of civilians from Gaza to Lebanon. Now, Iran's President is vowing “an appropriate response,” and saying, “We are not seeking war, but we will defend the rights of our nation and our country.”

He noted that while he was not arrested and has not yet been charged with an offense, he was given a letter that said police were "aware" of his profession, and were investigating whether he was guilty of "encouragement of terrorism" under the UK's Terrorism Act (2006).

As for what he allegedly did to "encourage" terrorism, Winstanley said that during the raid, one of the officers told him that it was in relation to his "social media posts."

One of the best parts of the BRICS Summit is watching the Western media scramble to find excuses for why dozens of world leaders are in Russia this week, seeking to join the economic alliance that is presenting the biggest challenge yet to the West and its sanctions.

They act like Putin dragged his allies to Kazan against their will, and they can’t seem to understand why countries beyond the West still want to work with Russia and its wealth of natural resources.

But don’t forget… for every country represented at BRICS, no matter their current ties to the U.S., they still have at least some fear that at some point, they will become the West’s next target.

All eyes are on the 16th annual BRICS Summit, as it kicks off in Russia this week, with representatives from more than 30 countries, including more than 20 heads of state, set to attend. With dozens of countries interested in joining the group, the stakes are high amid plans that include an alternative to the SWIFT banking system.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that while BRICS has big dreams, and its plans to reduce reliance on the West will be championed by members who have been targeted by Western sanctions in recent years… those plans could also present a problem for the newer members who still rely heavily on the U.S., such as Egypt with billions of Dollars in military aid, and the UAE, which hosts thousands of American troops.
