Nobody has bandwidth for this I know, but there is an emergency situation in the Old City of Jerusalem this morning. Extremist Israeli settlers, backed by armed police, are seizing property of the Armenian church, as part of an ongoing campaign of dispossession and Judaization

US-China

DJ, my view; US goal is creating a gap between Russia and China...China next in line for "regime change" with Taiwan being used the way "the west" used Ukraine to provoke war with Russia, now may be using Gaza to get war with Iran.

--------------

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war 

A declaration of war is a formal act by which one state announces existing or impending war activity against another. The declaration is a performative speech act (or the signing of a document) by an authorized party of a national government, in order to create a state of war between two or more states.

Who can declare war [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war#Requirements_by_country[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war#Requirements_by_country 

DJ-"The West" most of NATO is seeking change of government in Moscow, Tehran, Bejing among many others (from North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela etc. etc. etc.) 

The "west" provoked wars and is keeping wars going in Ukraine, Syria, Gaza (among others) 

The "west" is unwilling/unable to accept any kind of compromise or peacedeal other than surrender/regime change in many countries

DJ-The time for talks has passed, trust is NOT restored, the "west" keeps wars going on to reach regime change to stop BRICS+, New Silk Road etc. 

Therefore;

Russia, China, Iran "and allies" have no other option left than to consider themselves to be AT WAR !!! with "the west". 

Goal of a decleration of war may be to "limit" the conflict, a wake up call for "the west" do you realize what you are doing ? How we only have this option "war" now left open ? 

Most of the western citizens do NOT agree with how the "leaders" act and acted. Mass protests may result in better leaders...

Inside NATO Türkiye, Hungary, Slovakia and maybe even Poland may want peace. 

------------

A decleration of war does not mean an escalation...in itself. On september 3 1939 [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarations_of_war_during_World_War_II#List_of_war_declarations[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarations_of_war_during_World_War_II#List_of_war_declarations the UK but also "Transjordan" declared to be at war with Germany...There was fighting on the French-German border but other "actions" remained limited in Western Europe (war was in Poland, Finland-USSR had their war...the Spanish civil war had ended april 1 1939. 

In fact we are now in undeclared war. A decleration of war may clear the crisis up...

[url]https://braveneweurope.com/michael-von-der-schulenburg-hajo-funke-harald-kujat-peace-for-ukraine[/url] or https://braveneweurope.com/michael-von-der-schulenburg-hajo-funke-harald-kujat-peace-for-ukraine ;

3) Contrary to Western interpretations, Ukraine and Russia agreed at the time that the planned NATO expansion was the reason for the war. They therefore focused their peace negotiations on Ukraine’s neutrality and its renunciation of NATO membership. In return, Ukraine would have retained its territorial integrity except for Crimea.

4) There is little doubt that these peace negotiations failed due to resistance from NATO and in particular from the USA and the UK. The reasons is that such a peace agreement would have been tantamount to a defeat for NATO, an end to NATO’s eastward expansion and thus an end to the dream of a unipolar world dominated by the USA.

DJ, An African delegation visited Moscow to talk about peace. They were shown a peace agreement signed both by Russia and Ukraine...Türkiye,  Bennet-then Israel P.M. and many others did work very hard to get peace...

Again -now in the Middle East- another NATO proxy is pushing for major wars...

The US keeps pushing for conflicts with the (Peoples Republic of) China...via Taiwan, Philippines etc. 

IF the "west" will not rest before it gets wars...than it may be time BRICS+ and allies may make clear ;

They rather have peace based on mutual respect and trust, however-if no other option is left open "the west" can get its war....

DJ-I hope that if such a decleration of wars shows up most of the west -finally- comes to its senses...

And Then Biden Blew It ... Again

In June U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was on a long desired trip to China. Just 24 hours after a somewhat positive statement of the meeting came out Biden blew it by calling Xi Jinping a 'dictator'.

The Chinese government was not amused:

China's foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning called Mr Biden's remarks "extremely absurd and irresponsible". Speaking at a regularly scheduled press conference on Wednesday, she said that the comments were "an open political provocation" that violated diplomatic etiquette.

Yesterday President Xi Jinping of China met U.S. President Joe Biden near San Francisco.

The Chinese spokesperson had set out the agenda:

Hua Chunying 华春莹 @SpokespersonCHN - 11:25 UTC · Nov 16, 2023

President Xi Jinping noted that there are two options for China and the U.S. in the era of global transformations unseen in a century: One is to enhance solidarity and cooperation and join hands to meet global challenges and promote global security and prosperity; ...
... and the other is to cling to the zero-sum mentality, provoke rivalry and confrontation, and drive the world toward turmoil and division. The two choices point to two different directions that will decide the future of humanity and Planet Earth.

Xi wanted to chose the first path. But shortly after their meeting Biden walked on the second.

He again blew it:

Remarks by President Biden in a Press Conference | Woodside, CA - Nov 16, 2023 - White House

Q And, Mr. President, after today, would you still refer to President Xi as a “dictator”? This is a term that you used earlier this year.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, look, he is. I mean, he’s a dictator in the sense that he — he is a guy who runs a country that — it’s a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different than ours.

Anyway, we made progress.

The Chinese view certainly differs.

The Democracy Perception Index (pdf) is the world’s largest annual study on how people perceive democracy. In the U.S. 76% believe that 'democracy is important' but only 54% answer yes when asked if their country is democratic. In China the agreeing percentages for the same questions are 88% and 73%.

DJ, Global relations now are at a crossroad...war or peace...

One Religion's War Against All Others

Alastair Crooke in Al Mayadeen:

Israeli popular sentiment -- even amongst former liberals -- is moving toward a Greater Nakba. Gaza is under Nakba pressures. So is the West Bank, as settler violence against Palestinians surges. Even a ‘liberal’ such as former opposition leader Lapid now agrees that ‘settlers’ in the occupied West Bank are not ‘settlers’ at all, since the land is but the ‘Biblical land of Israel’.

Nakba ‘ambitions’ are widening to South Lebanon (up to the Litani River) too. The radical members of Netanyahu’s government say Israelis will never return to the kibbutz adjacent to Lebanon, without Hezbollah’s removal from the border area.

So, the call is heard for "Israel" to ‘take’ Lebanon up to the Litani (a key water source) -- and ‘serendipitously’ the Israeli air force has begun operating up to 40 kms inside Lebanon. Cabinet members now openly speak of the IOF needing to turn its attention to Hezbollah once Hamas has been ‘obliterated’.
...
Plainly, the White House is struggling to avoid the slide towards full regional war, as both the Lebanese front and the Iraqi front heats up: On Sunday, Iraqi movements again fired missiles at the American base in Shaddadi.

"Israel" is sensing the present crisis to be both an existential risk, but an ‘opportunity’ too – an opportunity to establish "Israel" across ‘its Biblical lands’ over the long term. There is no mistaking it -- this is the direction of travel of Israeli popular sentiment, from both Left and Right wings, to bloody eschatology.

As I had pointed out three weeks ago President Joe Biden had supported that Israeli Nakba strategy before he was forced to pull back:

US 'actively working' to establish safe corridor for Gaza civilians: White House - Yeni Safak - Oct 12, 2023 The US is in active talks with Israel and Egypt to establish "safe passage" corridors for civilians in Gaza to flee ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the White House said Wednesday amid an expected ground offensive in the besieged enclave.

"We're actively discussing this with our Israeli and our Egyptian counterparts, we support safe passions for civilians. Civilians are not to blame for what Hamas has done. They didn't do anything wrong," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at the White House.

"We are actively working on this with Egyptian and our Israeli counterparts. Civilians are protected under the laws of armed conflict, and they should be given every opportunity to avoid the fighting," he added.

-

The intentionally created misery will be used to put pressure on Egypt and others to open their borders for refugees. Then the same method will be applied in the West Bank. South Lebanon up the Litani river is a more difficult matter as Hizbullah, once unleashed, is a real existential thread to Israel. The rick there is to get the U.S. to do the bloody work.

And all this would not stop there as some extremist settlers want even more foreign land:

What are the borders of that Jewish nation?

The borders of the homeland of the Jews are the Euphrates in the east and the Nile in the southwest. [This would include the territory of multiple Middle Eastern countries as well as the territory that Israel controls today.]

DJ. It may be hard to get a realistic view on how many Israeli's realy want to push for "new borders" and if they realize the costs...It most likely will bring the end of Israel.

Why the US needs this war in Gaza

Washington needs to win its Gazan war against Iran because it failed to win its Ukrainian war against Russia.

Pepe Escobar

DJ, My view; Since this conflict is a US on Israel side war I think it is NOT realistic to expect "countries in the region" to be able to start an open war with also the US.

Time is against Israel...Going for an all out war against Israel would result in US/NATO help for Israel and push away any story over a Palestinian State...

By NOT going for war now the Arab/Islamic world is winning...eventough Gaza is paying a very high price...

Israel can NOT afford a major war-nor can the US or NATO...

US-China;

DJ, Or did Xi see what alternatives there are for biden ? 

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/opec-considering-additional-1-million-barrel-oil-production-cut-amid-outrage-over-gaza-war[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/opec-considering-additional-1-million-barrel-oil-production-cut-amid-outrage-over-gaza-war ;

“You should not underestimate the level of anger there is and the pressure leaders in the Gulf feel from their populations to be seen to respond in some manner,” said another person close to senior Opec figures in the Gulf, effectively confirming that an Opec+ production cut would directly target Biden's policies meant to keep the price of oil (and gas) as low as possible into the 2024 election.

The person said there would be no repeat of the oil shock of the 1970s, when Arab states halted exports to the west. But they added: “People have become complacent about the potential to tighten oil supplies to send a subtle message, which will be well understood both in the streets and Washington DC.”

Joe Biden, having crushed the US middle class in the past three years with his catastrophic economic policies, is facing an impossible re-election battle next year where he is already losing against his predecessor Donald Trump according to multiple polls, and the White House is struggling to convince voters that the country’s economy is healthy. The only thing it has to show: oil gas prices (which are largely the result of markets pricing in the coming recession). If Opec+ can send oil prices soaring again, then Biden is completely finished.

DJ, Energy and currency are the real weapons in the war between NATO-west and -more and more- the rest of the world...

PENTAGON FAILS Audit of $3.8 TRILLION In Military Assets, Once Again

DJ, May underestimate the speed with wich "the west" may see financial, socio-economic collapse...

We are on out way to [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state ;

A failed state is a state that has lost its effective ability to govern its populace. A failed state maintains legal sovereignty but experiences a breakdown in political power, law enforcement, and civil society, leading to a state of near-anarchy.

Common characteristics of a failing state include a government unable to tax and police its populace, control and maintain its territory, fill political or civil offices, or maintain its infrastructure. When this happens, widespread corruption and criminality, the intervention of state and non-state actors, the appearance of refugees and the involuntary movement of populations, sharp economic decline, and military intervention from both within and without the state are much more likely to occur.^[1]

Metrics have been developed to describe the level of governance of states. The precise level of government control required to avoid being considered a failed state varies considerably amongst authorities.^[2] Furthermore, the declaration that a state has "failed" is generally controversial and, when made authoritatively, may carry significant geopolitical consequences.^[2]

Western governments may wake up to find they have lost most of their income

Western (war) industry could find out they are owned by non-western investors

You may find out to be out of a job, a house, an income...maybe even a future...

Why should BRICS+ countries invest in wars when they do not want those wars ? If the "west" wants to waste trillions on endless wars defund the west...

US/NATO is protecting the Israeli genocide on Palestinians...BRICS+military intervention could bring even more war...So they go for "economic all out war"...

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/youre-paying-israel-war-youll-also-pay-refugees[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/youre-paying-israel-war-youll-also-pay-refugees ;

The United States regime has picked sides in the Israel-Hamas war and has committed to funding Israel's ongoing bombing of non-combatant men, women, and children in the Gaza strip. Northern Gaza's infrastructure is now all but destroyed, with millions of Gazans displaced and homeless. Nearly ten times more Gazans than Israelis have now died in the conflict. Many Gazans have fled to the southern portion of Gaza, but homelessness and abject poverty awaits them there. 

By employing what is essentially the carpet-bombing approach, Tel Aviv has made the choice of adopting a policy that is sure to produce hundreds of thousands of refugees—or perhaps even more than a million. Indeed, many in the Israeli regime are motivated to maximize refugees, and push Gazans out of the country altogether using the Orwellian phrase "voluntary migration." 

On a military, tactical level, the Israeli state will have no problem accomplishing this. Tel Aviv has an air force, a deep reservoir of American-funded weapons, and a nuclear arsenal. The Israeli military can easily reduce all of Gaza to rubble. But what is sure to result from this is a humanitarian disaster accompanied by a global debate over which foreign country will host the refugees. 

Israeli mouthpieces are already at work pushing the cost onto foreign taxpayers, including American ones. This week, two Israeli politicians—one from the militarist Likud party, and one from the center-left Yesh Atid party—took to the pages of The Wall Street Journal to demand that "countries around the world should offer a haven for Gaza residents who seek relocation." According to these politicians, "[t]he international community"—i.e., not Israel—"has a moral imperative" to resettle Gazans somewhere outside Israel at not-Israel's expense. 

It is significant these claims appeared in an American publication. Tel Aviv is the latest welfare-queen regime—in the tradition of Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky—repeatedly haranguing the American public with demands for free money. It's no coincidence that Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu is now seemingly ubiquitous on American prime-time news programs. His primary job right now is to demand money and favors from Washington and from other Western regimes. 

It will probably work. Americans should get ready for plane-loads of Gaza refugees arriving in their cities, funded by the American taxpayers who can now barely afford to keep up with the price of groceries. This will be sold as a "humanitarian" effort, but anyone who sees through the propaganda will see that it's really all a cynical effort to please pro-Israel interest groups and Israeli politicians.

WILD CARD: Milei's Agenda To Adopt US Dollar vs. BRICS Bloc

DJ, Very welcome info ! LP;

-Milei "anarcho capitalist" claims to end Argentina central bank, privatize everything the state still owns (media, energy) and -since Argentina debt is in US$ go for US$ as Argentina currency...

-First visits pf Milei would be to US and Israel

-Inflation 143% -may be moving to 185%...over 40% of Argentina lives in poverty

-Venezuela may take Argentina its place in BRICS+ if Milei does not want to join BRICS (but he has no majority in parliament !)

DJ-So "dollarization" instead of de-dollarization with LP noting "only colonies" use foreign currencies...What to think of Milei ? He may be very clever-however could also make "very clever mistakes"....It reminds me of Gadaffi/Libya visiting former colonizer Italy to invest Libyan oil money a.o.  in FIAT-car industry...

Will Milei tell "the US" Argentina has become -via debt- a US colony so the US has the means to solve Argentina its problems ? He may seek confrontation...He may even surprise by joining BRICS...(to get BRICS support in that confrontation !) DJ...the [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War also comes to my mind...Argentina "has problems" with the UK still making claims in/near Antarctica/South Atlantic.

Demonstration Brandenburg Gate – Berlin

November 25th, 2023, kick-off rally: 1:00 pm

No to wars – stop the arms madness – shape a peaceful and just future

21 wars and 216 armed military conflicts are currently threatening the world (Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research HIIK). The danger of the war in Ukraine escalating into a nuclear war is growing by the day. Innocent people are dying every day. We are worried about our future, the future of our children and grandchildren. We need a culture of peace and common security.

Instead of focusing on de-escalation and diplomacy, the German government is supplying more and more weapons and arming itself massively. Large sections of politics and the media are militarizing society. For the first time, Germany will reach the two per cent target (according to NATO criteria). At 85.5 billion euros, military spending in 2024 will be the largest since the Federal Republic of Germany was founded. By contrast, the healthcare system, infrastructure, support for children and affordable pensions, education, science and training are threatened by dramatic funding cuts. A social and economic catastrophe is looming for more and more people.

The sanctions against Russia, which are affecting people in the Global South, Europe and Germany, are also contributing significantly to this: Inflation, increased energy and food prices as well as the loss of real wages are affecting the populations, especially the poorer sections, and jeopardizing industrial development in our country too. In the global South, hunger crises are looming because grain, maize, vegetable oil and fertilizers are no longer arriving and prices have risen massively.

It is high time for a peace policy in Ukraine, in Europe and worldwide. In the run-up to the war in Ukraine, warnings were ignored and lessons learned on how to avoid war were disregarded. We must stop the slide towards a third world war and a social, economic and ecological disaster. “Peace is not everything, but everything is nothing without peace” (Willy Brandt). Social development, protection of the climate and nature and a future worth living for all are only possible in peace and only through joint global efforts.

We condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. We also condemn the previous breaches of treaties and unfulfilled commitments by NATO states.

The Ukrainian people need our solidarity. A ceasefire and negotiations to end the war instead of further escalation are in their interest. The killing and bloodshed and the destruction of the country and the environment must be stopped immediately. Negotiated solutions and plans are on the table. Negotiating does not mean capitulating, but finding solutions to complicated challenges!

We call on the German government to put an end to unchecked armament and to immediately mediate a ceasefire and peace negotiations. It must develop its own diplomatic initiatives and support existing peace proposals – especially those of the Global South.

DJ...I also had a link to this in NL in crisis..."pvv/wilders" would be "pro-Russian" (my view wilders most of all is pro-wilders...an "ego-tripper" in love with himself...[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/where-europes-far-right-has-gained-ground[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/political/where-europes-far-right-has-gained-ground so far right wing parties fail to solve basic problems...In Italy meloni just another bla-bla politician. In NL the "neo-liberal vvd" already was seen as "(extreme) right wing populists"...they handed the "job" to other extremists...)...

Basic problem for most of the west is political "elite" did lose contact with reality and with voters...Most western "elite" controlled by the CIA ? To spend trillions on a criminal war industry ? 

JN mentioned "a 1000 Turkish cargo ships" on their way to Gaza...Maybe seeking Russian protection...The "pause" in the Gaza genocide is seeing Palestinians also moving back to northern Gaza...The IDF  Israeli terrorists so far not stopping them...Hamas and Israel exchange hostages...(western media calling Israeli hostages "prisoners"...ignoring lack of trial, often Palestinian children...just picked up by "Israel" for being Palestinian...). 

NL still keeps sending F35 spare parts (US stocked them in NL) to Israel...The Israeli crimes-Gaza genocide, ethnic cleansing of West Bank, is breaking up NATO...There is a growing risk of a Turkish-Israel war...

Yemen Houthis shooting at US navy ships in the Red Sea...with the US bringing down Yemen/Houthi drones/missiles meant to hit southern Israel...

It is very welcome Israeli agression -for now- has stopped in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon...

DJ-BRICS+ (China very active...but Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and even Iran ! do not want a major war) may be "very involved" in trying to end (NATO made) wars...

Winter may literal "freeze" the Ukraine war...Lots of Ukraine (17-70 y/o -also women) fighters freezing...surrendering with frost bite...

Still US neo-cons deny provoking the Ukraine war was a (criminal) mistake...

The "west" may run out of means for more war....public support for "crazy leaders" is gone...The Ukraine war may have resulted in over 10 million Ukrainians seeking safety outside Ukraine...On top of people trying to find safety from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq...Climate refugees...

The "political correct answer" is STOP WAR !!!!! Solve climate collapse !!! 

So far a western crazy political elite is only kicking the can down the road, financing it by "creating money"...that "elite" is bankrupt...but may have destroyed "the west"...

Problem is first biden/blinken gave a green light for the Israeli genocide in Gaza (and West Bank)...So the US/biden and his cult-has now a problem with pro-Israel groups and pro-Palestine groups...

The idea of a "NATO peace keeping/occupation force" is only believed by a crazy western elite...BRICS+ very likely is working on its own plans...

DJ-my view;

-The genocide has to be stopped-further israel mass murders may see military action from BRICS+

-BRICS will exploit oil/gas on the Gaza coast for the benefit of Palestine

-I speculate; Negev may become a Palestinian link between the West Bank and Gaza so there will be ONE Palestine...not split up in two sections...

-Israel has to stop other agression in Lebanon, Syria

DJ, The Gaza-genocide pushed the UN towards BRICS+, away from NATO...NATO itself now is very divided...In Europe lots of people are shocked a "political "left wing" elite keep silent...

In NL in crisis I described it as "new left" without a vision and the old left, anti war (so) anti NATO etc..."Right"wing parties did use to get a lot of left wing ideas to get popular support...Sahra Wagenknecht in Germany is one of the "new" leaders...

We already know that Ukraine, in early April 2022, rejected to make peace with Russia. We know this from talks by the former prime minister of Israel Naftali Bennet, from the former Turkish foreign minister, from former chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroeder as well as from reporting from Ukraine.

But only now do we hear the same story from a Ukrainian official:

Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo - 21:45 UTC · Nov 24, 2023

🇺🇦🇷🇺🚨‼️ BOMBSHELL: Ukraine admits that Russia only wanted neutrality from them!

Russia wanted Ukraine to be neutral like Finnland was! But Ukraine was not sure if they can trust it and then Boris Johnson came and said:
-> “We will not sign anything, let’s do war!”

I knew it!

The video in the tweet above has English subtitles. It is part of a Ukrainian TV interview with the the leader of the Servant of the People parliament faction David Arakhamia by the journalist Natalia Moseychuk. In March and April 2022 Arkhamia had led the Ukrainian delegation at peace talks with the Russians in Belarus and Turkey.

DJ, of course timing is the point...NATO did also lose this war....So now part of a way out may be a blame game...zelushny/zelenski did not follow US orders...

Even with no check out, you will have to leave

The current order of business in the New Great Game is to organize the expulsion of the Hegemon from West Asia – as much a technical challenge as a civilizational challenge.

As it stands, the Washington-Tel Aviv continuum are already prisoners of their own device. This ain’t no Hotel California; you may not check out any time you like, but you will be forced to leave.

That may happen in a relatively gentle manner – think Kabul as a Saigon remix – or if push comes to shove may involve a naval Apocalypse Now, complete with expensive iron bathtubs turned into sub-ocean coral reefs and the demise of CENTCOM and its AFRICOM projection.

The crucial vector all along is how Iran – and Russia – have played, year after year, with infinite patience, the master strategy devised by Gen. Soleimani, whose assassination actually started the Raging Twenties.

A de-weaponized Hegemon cannot defeat the “new axis of evil”, Russia-Iran-China, not only in West Asia but also anywhere in Eurasia, Asia-Pacific, and pan-Africa. Direct participation/normalization of the genocide only worked to accelerate the progressive, inevitable exclusion of the Hegemon from most of the Global South.

All that while Russia meticulously crafts the integration of the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Baltic Sea (Finnish hysteria notwithstanding), the Arctic and the Northwestern Pacific Sea and China turbo-charges the integration of the South China Sea.

Poland is next in line to introduce the €/Euro...with the trade East blocked Poland has to look at the EU...Nationalism in Germany rearming itself could give rise to "nostalgia" ...Germany may "like to see" "more German influence" on "historic grounds"...The border moved west after 1945...Germany would like to see a form of "old borders"...

DJ-In around 1990 with German reunification there may have been talks between Helmut Kohl and Gorbachov on Kaliningrad/Koningsbergen...Russia would be allowed to write of its debts with Germany if East Prusia/Koningsbergen became German...

DJ...of course there will be a "push back" inside NATO...The "political elite" totally ruined it....Since fighting outside NATO has been a disaster...lets start conflicts inside NATO....

There are lots of other disasters ongoing;

-CoViD is NOT over...bad policies may result in "pandemic part 2" possiblty even worse than the Spanish Flu...

-Western economies are collapsing...hyperinflation a matter of time...

Avdeyevka collapse & possible Trump presidency fuels EU panic

DJ, Alex & Alexander agreeing with eachother....I do NOT agree with them...

Their "suggestion" is prior to the SMO-Russian invasion of Ukraine at the Munich security conference both the US, UK/EU agreed/expected "regime change in Moscow" would not be such a hard job..."Sanctions would do it"...zelensky returned from Munich to Kiëv even talking of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons...

DJ-My view is the Russian "Special Military Operation"-invasion of Ukraine came as a shock...

DJ-One of the main motives for pushing for NATO expansion to include Ukraine, Georgia was biden/h.clinton etc. "cult" claim/lie  "Putin made trump US president"...So "bad Putin had to pay for that" ...it was personal...some in the US elite believe(d) Putin could decide who becomes US president (1) and the best answer would be "kick out Putin" (2)...

If US elections are that problematic (3x this century Bush-Gore, Clinton-Trump, Trump-Biden) than the US should organize those elections in a better way...Not export that problem to "foreign relations"...Blame games do NOT help (blaming Putin for Trump, China for CoViD in my eyes is a sign of weakness...not strength). 

Putin-like Assad in Syria, Erdogan in Türkiye, turned out to be hard to "kick out"...

So the US motive for this provocation of Russia by Zelensky was a different one than the European...Europe very likely wanted to get more control over (the flow of) oil and gas...The Syria war was/is over the Qatar/Arab energy links to Europe...For Europe this war was not personal...

-----------

Of course another point is the position of Europe-part of EurAsia and the position of the US -always "an Ocean away" from that EurAsia...Breaking the Iran-deal was a bad-trump-idea...Europe was not happy...

BRICS was on the rise for over a decade and a lot of European trade was and is with Asia...Russia may be an important source of energy-it is not the only one. The Russian "market" is limited; China, India are the main goals for EU trade...Europe most of the time did get a lot of energy from the Middle East, most of the time Russian energy only was a limited factor for Europe...Besides that "fossil energy" was believed to be over....

DJ-One could argue that higher energy costs stimulates innovation...doing more with less energy and energy from other sources (solar/wind, hydrogen etc.). 

Some EU "leaders" seem to believe "the bigger the better" at the same time excluding Türkiye...A bankrupt burden like Ukraine would be welcome....

Very likely a "more critical view" on the EU is becoming dominant. EU countries ask the question what does the EU offer us at what costs...EU membership is not for free...

The EU now is getting more disorganized...that may explain part of the panic...After elections Poland, Hongary, Slovakia also "look east"...not happy with the outcome of the Ukraine war that the EU did push for...SE Europe still buying Russian energy via Türkiye/Turkstream...

Sweden, Finland -in a hurry to join NATO- now having second thoughts...Russia via StPetersburg (more people in that region than in all of Finland !) was the main electricity supplier...Both Sweden and Finland did have their own position in international relations...but joining NATO meant giving up that position...Austria, Switzerland, Ireland have good reasons for staying out of NATO !

-The Duran believes"trump is the answer"...he will sign an agreement on security (in Europe etc) with Putin to end the conflict...EU loser, US-Russia winning...

DJ; NONSENSE !!!! BRICS+ is the bigger picture ! 

One of the EU "strengths" is its division...If you can not make a deal with France or Germany you may make an agreement with Greece or Italy...The US is "one block"...

It may be easier to make some agreements with the US -still a major power, and "an ocean away"  but EurAsian trade is the main idea...BRICS10 is not only pushing for an internal BRICS market...China and India do like to see lots of energy producers joining BRICS...but -certainly the European market with over 500 million still relatively rich consumers- is "next door"...

Maybe Russia may turn "east" other Asian countries want/need European trade...It was the US that tried to stop chipmaker tech export from NL to China...

My view; The US is that much in debt and out of production capacity it is the US that may have a major problem..."Europe" may be closer to solving its energy/trade problem...

-Military Summary [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itM66YRDUec[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itM66YRDUec describing how budanov, zelensky and zalushny are fighting for power in Ukraine...DJ-Winter in history did show to be a major Russian ally..."mud" is also on the side of Russia...so are the crazy distances...

One of many western problems is getting supplies to the Ukraine frontline-1000 kilometer from a NATO border...because Russia keeps the fighting not far from its borders...Since Russian warindustry is state owned and now top priority, Russia also has the natural resources and energy Russia is producing weapons in such numbers the west has "no chance"...

Western weapons-because of high demand/high (energy) costs did get 3x to 5x the costs of 2021...So twice the military budget-following 2% of GDP as a NATO norm is getting you LESS weapons...

It is becoming clearer that the Ukraine war with all the well prepared economic sanctions, the NS sabotage and MSM demonizing of President Putin was a concerted effort to conquer and overtake Russia. A full-spectrum surprise attack on another country by the collective West. Pure piracy. 

Now that the assault has failed it has awaken a lot of people to recognise the sinister and cynical schemes and also brought light to the overwhelmingly many completely manipulated clueless and calous people among us. How many of the responsible were actually knowing of the plan and how many were just running along with the crowd? In any way we should not let either forget their complicity but hold them disqualified for future leadership. We must realise that the real crisis is just starting now and the first consequence may be a sharp split in our societies - maybe resulting in a "European Spring".
Sorry for repeating the obvious, but it may be time to sober up with strong coffee in the bar :-\

Biden White House diplomacy backfire. Tracking the USS Eisenhower

DJ, In october the choice was made to send the carrier USS Eisenhower to the Persian Gulf-not far from Iran. On board a.o. 150 Tomahawk cruisemissiles. The US and Israel may have enough missiles (a.o. on submarines) for a large scale attack on Iran.

-----

Why are we not yet in a full scale war NATO-BRICS+ with an Israel/US attack on Iran ? 

-The "region" limited so far its military action against Israel/US...So they did NOT provide any excuse...A "false flag" however could provide such an excuse...

-Another western miscalculation may have been TÚrkiye, Saudi Arabia, Iran etc would be much more divided...The US/NATO still has bases in the region...(Former) Western allies; Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar would play a role in a war with Iran...It may turn out they are much more on the side of Iran...

-In the US the Israeli genocide is "bad news" for the biden presidential campain...PR is turning against "the west"

-[url]https://www.cop28.com/en/schedule[/url] or https://www.cop28.com/en/schedule the COP-28 UN climate conference -ending december 12- in the UAE would be in the middle of a war zone...

They still believe to be able to save the US$/dominance...when in fact that "uni polar moment" is over...BRICS+ may get stronger by the day...could see a BRICS-extra scenario. Countries expected to become a BRICS member in october 24 Kazan may already go for cooperation with BRICS to have some protectionfrom further western insanity...

DJ, Also some speculations;

-The Gaza war is going worse than Israel expected...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war

Monitoring group Action on Armed Violence said that each Israeli airstrike caused an average of 10.1 civilian deaths and that the figure suggested a notable change in Israel's targeting approach. 2012 and 2021 campaigns produced averages of 1.3 and 1.7 respectively. Experts say the classified rules of engagement have a higher threshold for civilian casualties than previously.^[451][452] Israel uses an AI system known as Gospel for its targeting process and experts are sceptical that such a system reduces civilian harm.^[453]

The rate of killing exceeds that of US-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were widely criticized by rights groups while, according to Professor Neta C. Crawford, the number of women and children killed is comparable to the number of civilians killed in Afghanistan over 20 years.^[454] Israel's war on Gaza has been the deadliest conflict for children this century.^[60]

DJ, Israel military losses will be in the hundreds...Over 500,000 Israeli  are displaced. The economic cost of this war for Israel may be over 1 billion US$ per day. (Military costs 250 million-per day, loss of production, tourism, etc. may be long term-DJ are destroying Israel now !)

The short options were only for a very limited period. At least some would have expired on October 13.

So it definitely looks as if on Monday, October 2, someone was sure enough on that soon something 'bad' would happen to Israel. That someone had enough market knowledge and money to take the risk of a false alarm in exchange for a huge potential profit.

Who that person or group was is for anyone to guess.

DJ, Some "investors" made october 7 a moment of financial mega-profit...

-Ukraine now is moving towards collapse...NATO is unable to supply two limited wars on the east of "its region"....After pumping trillions in (and out...) of Ukraine now "trillions" pumped in (and out) of Israel....US war-industry can triple their prices/profits....

To cover up the Ukraine disaster you may need "a larger victory"....

DJ-One could speculate Türkiye, Arab states, Pakistan making a "secret deal" with NATO to turn against Iran....I do not see such a secret deal of being of any interest for the region...However some western "politicians" -out of contact with any reality- still may go for such a phantasy...

----------

Non-western diplomacy may be working 24/7 to keep this conflict limited. 

DJ-What the "west" can do BRICS can "do it better"...BRICS+ may seek a conflict with NATO on a territory in BRICS+ favor...If war is unavoidable then "plan the war" to fit your "agenda"...

BRICS+ does want to break up US-UK-EU...a Pacific war is bad news for the US but out of reach for the UK and EU...A "military blockade" of Taiwan to get it under Bejing control ? (There is no need for a Chinese/Russian invasion...They are able to "take over" (air)ports via Electronic Warfare...).

Who is really behind the Israeli mass slaughter of the people of Gaza?

Here is the answer to that question:

Israel’s dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF Maj. General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week.

“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”

Period.

Chemi Shalev wrote that individuals have described Power as being pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli, on the basis of statements which she made in a 2002 interview with Harry Kreisler.^[64] When asked what advice she would give to the president if either the Israelis or the Palestinians looked "like they might be moving towards genocide", Power said that the United States might consider the deployment of a "mammoth protection force" to monitor developments between the Israelis and Palestinians, characterizing it as a regrettable but necessary "imposition of a solution on unwilling parties" and "the lesser of evils."^{[citation needed]} She clarified that remark on several occasions, including in an interview with Haaretz correspondent Shmuel Rosner in August 2008.^[65]

In July 2014, Power expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself during the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.^[66]

US Seeking Plausible Deniability as US-Armed Israel Erases Gaza

Update on the conflict in Gaza for December 6, 2023… 

- Recent comments by the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin are attempting to create plausible deniability regarding its central role in enabling Israeli military operations in Gaza, and more specifically, the targeting and displacement of the civilian population while using Hamas as a pretext; -

 The US follows a pattern of creating false pretexts and maintaining plausible deniability in regards to provocations and proxy wars; 

- There is little likelihood that upcoming US elections are driving US foreign policy, as US foreign policy is determined by and for unelected corporate interests regardless of who is in the White House or in Congress;

The leaders of the six nations of the GCC —Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait — and President Erdogan stated at the end of the 44th session of the Council in the Qatari capital Doha, on Tuesday.

They condemned Israel’s relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip and called for the implementation of a permanent ceasefire in the Palestinian territory, where Israeli forces have killed more than 15,899 people, 70 percent of whom were women and children, since October 7.

The leaders also warned that Israel's war on Gaza would lead to “dire consequences for the peoples of the region and international peace and security.”

In the statement, the leaders also called on the international community to intervene to establish a permanent ceasefire.

They also agreed to help rebuild “what the Israeli war machine destroyed in its attacks on the Strip during the past years.”

Qatar's ruling emir and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also condemned Israel's war crimes and called for a ceasefire, in separate remarks at the summit.

No doubt Russia is involved in finding "a way out". Putin and netanyahu -not that long ago- had a lot of contact. BRICS-extra is the dominant factor in (West)Asia...

DJ, Very likely over 80% of Israeli's killed on october 7 were killed by Israeli tanks/helicopters. The damage these weapons produce do NOT correspond with the weapons Hamas had. (Hamas had NO tanks, destroyed Israeli tanks, they also did NOT have helicopters/aircraft (other than ultri light-delta wings).  The orders Israeli miltart followed on october 7 was to kill Hamas fighters...even if killing one Hamas fighter also would kill dozens of Israeli's trying to find safety...

DJ-Most of the world going for a "two state solution" still....Alister Crooke did say 90% of Israeli's (for now) support a "hard line" against Hamas. The price Israel now may be paying may mean "the end" of/for  Israel...Even if the conflict stays "limited"...

The public health disaster in Gaza-with winter on its way-may see massive outbreaks of infectious diseases, famines, shortage of drinkable water...The Israeli goal seems to "push" Palestinians towards -and over-the Egypt border...

Two Israeli right-wing ultranationalist organizations, together with numerous so-called Temple Mount activist groups, are set to hold a march through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem Thursday night to call for the re-establishment of “Jewish control” over the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound.

The event, coinciding with start of the Hanukkah festival and titled “March of the Maccabees,” will proceed through the Damascus Gate and into the Muslim Quarter. It will then pass by the offices of the Jordanian Waqf which runs the Al-Aqsa Compound, and will finish by the ramp to the Mughrabi Gate which is the entrance to what Jews call the Temple Mount, located just outside the plaza of the Western Wall, the holiest site at which Jews are currently allowed to pray.

The goals of the march, as stated on a social media flier for the event, are to honor the memories of the Israeli soldiers who have been killed in combat against the Hamas group in the current war, “eject the Waqf from the Temple Mount,” and “restore full Jewish control in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.”

If there is any provocation more dangerous, more incendiary and more likely to trigger an eruption of violence in East Jerusalem and/or the West Bank and/or the Lebanese border, I can't think of one. This is no doubt a cause of concern in Amman, Cairo and beyond.

You will be told: the Police will never let it happen.

Ben Gvir's Police? Wanna bet? The Police are issuing "calming" statements. It will "only" be 200 marchers, and go through Al Wad St., the Muslim Quarter "only" as far as the Austian Hospice. Satisfaction guaranteed.

This is precisely the route that thousands of ultra-nationalist religious marauders took last May. They marched through the Muslim Quarter pounding in the locked doors of Palestinian storefronts and homes, screaming "death to the Arabs" and "May their villages burn."

Then as well, the Police did their Gunnar Jarring impersonation, devoted to maintain the rights of the marauders. They even announced in advance that they were cool with chants of "death to the Arabs". There were indeed a few arrests - all Palestinian.

The worst part: not ONE public figure in Israel condemned the chants of death to the Arabs. Not one. Not the Prime Minister, who has 5 houses (no less) a couple of kilometers away. Not the Mayor, who lords over the occupation of 400,000 Palestinians.

In a very non-routine move, the United States publicly called upon the leaders of Israel to condemn the chants. No one did. And I mean no one. Herzog? Shtum. Ganz? Shtum. Lapid? הצחקתם אותי. Shtum.

This is not "elective surgery." This has nothing to do with piety, and everything to do with pyromania. Anyone inside Israel and in the international community with any sense of responsibility have to communicate unequivocally to the Netanyahu Regime: don't dare. Don't dare.

The situation in the Middle East continues to be made worse, after an Israeli air strike in Syria killed two Iranian Quds Force Officers.

The 2 Iranians killed in latest Israeli strike in Syria were senior technology officers in Quds Force Unit 340, involved in supporting Iran's regional proxies.

Iran made clear, months ago, that it would not enter the Israel-Hamas conflict "unless our people, our territory, or our interests are attacked."  Israel just did that.

BEIJING, December 7. /TASS/. China and the EU must together contribute to global governance and maintenance of stability in the world, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said.

"China and the EU bear responsibility for reinforcement of stability in the world. We must provide a greater impetus to the development, to lead the global governance, to provide it with support," Xi Jinping said during the meeting with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Beijing.

Xi Jinping noted that the world is experiencing "great changes," according to CCTV. The Chinese leader underscored that China and the EU contribute to multipolarity and act as key markets, facilitating globalization.

"The Chinese-European relations affect peace, stability and prosperity of the entire world," the head of state noted.

-----

The US puppet netanyahu may have welcomed a major Hizbollah reaction to the war crimes of the NATO-occupied/puppet "israel"..The fact so far most direct neighbours did NOT start major military action may drive the US crazy...It would have given the US an excuse for more military action to get energy in the Middle East back under US control (via puppet states like "israel"...)

Now the "masks" are off-the "west" only goes for profits-even if it would kill millions...

The "humanitarian" crisis in Gaza grows worse every hour. Most medical care has stopped, diseases and famine are major problems...It can get cold in Gaza in the winter (however freezing is not very likely). 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip#Geography[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip#Geography ;

Climate

The Gaza Strip has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh), with warm winters during which practically all the annual rainfall occurs, and dry, hot summers. Despite the dryness, humidity is high throughout the year. Annual rainfall is higher than in any part of Egypt at between 225 mm (9 in) in the south and 400 mm (16 in) in the north, but almost all of this falls between November and February. Environmental problems include desertification; salination of fresh water; sewage treatment; water-borne diseases; soil degradation; and depletion and contamination of underground water resources.

However the nights may get cold. Extreme weather risks (with a warm Mediterranean Sea nearby) are major...

The Fall | Zelensky Was Evacuated While Ukraine Is Paralyzed. Military Summary For 2023.12.12

DJ, MS "speculating" zelensky did change travel plans after visiting Argentina new president Milei taking power. The US-biden-"invited" his puppet to DC may have been linked to US intel Kiev may no longer be safe for zelensky...

MS did report earlier on how "recruiters" in Ukraine were beaten up, razzia's rounding up men and women to die on the frontline. Ukraine puppet regime not only runs out of weapons and money-but also out of people willing to "die for a corrupt elite". MS did have another video from the frontlines on how soldiers demand to be changed for "golden boys"-elite family...

Ukraine soldiers pay a very high price in this -avoidable- war...

DJ-western/ukraine propaganda claiming Russian losses to be 85% of its initial army. My view;

Ukraine losses may be 500,000+ killed

Russian losses could be 100,000+ killed.

A lot of Russian lives were lost in the initial phase of the Special Military Operation. February-april 2022 Russia may have hoped;

-Ukraine uprising against zelensky

-Talks could end the war...

After the agreements signed in Türkiye by both Russia and Ukraine Russia pulled back its forces a.o. around Kiev. The "west" claiming breaking that agreement as another "military victory". Minsk-talks may also be seen as a "western victory". NATO did send lots of weapons/trainers to Ukraine to start a war against Russian-speakers in eastern Ukraine-while telling Russia NATO wanted peace...

DJ-I have very serious doubts on the western/Ukraine "story" on the downing of the MH-17 flight -killing 298 civilians-most of them Dutch. Based on Ukraine "intel" (very likely lies)  the NATO story is "Russia did it"...

MS keeps repeating Russia may be creating an other major army north of Ukraine. Charkov, Sumy are major cities-DJ; To occupy those cities a million+ army is needed. Russia may be preparing such an army...

Putin meets Saudi Crown Prince and UAE President: An anti-US alliance in the making? | This World

This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Putin has rarely left Russia since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against him. So, what explains his sudden visit to the Gulf? Is there a secret alliance being formed? Should the United States be worried? Listen in to Vikram Chandra.

Russian President Vladimir Putin got a royal welcome in Abu Dhabi, the first leg of his blitz gulf tour. UAE staged a lavish welcome ceremony with jets flying over the city leaving contrails in the colours of the Russian flag. Camel and horse cavalry guards lined the route of Putin's motorcade from the airport to the presidential palace.

DJ Global power has shifted to Asia with over 4 billion people living there;

-BRICS+ growth most in Asia (three new members; Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran are in West Asia. Two African countries; Egypt, Ethiopia may be seen as Asia-Africa-link.

-The Gaza-genocide is making clear -again- the "west" only offers war and lies...

-Linking COP-28 climate talks with BRICS+/OPEC+ ; decreasing fossil fuel exploration is a "match" for supposed to be decreasing demand...Russia, Saudi Arabia etc. want long term certainties for energy/economy. China, India need also certainty/stability on that "front"...

Red Sea may be in the interest of the west...so-if the US/NATO want more war BRICS+ may "offer new places for western wars"...only to beat the "crazy west" further...

DJ-Very likely the sad reality is most of the world no longer have any trust in "western leaders". So there is NO point in talks with the "west"....

I am wondering what this does mean for Palestinians murdered by NATO via its proxy "israel" ? The main goal of "israel" was control over Middle East oil..."israel" has lost its use for that goal...It may explain even crazy biden trying to distance himself from the genocide...

Like "ukraine" "israel" as a western/US "tool" for "global power" did fail. Both "countries" may be dumped by the "west"....

-That intervention has to come from strong major group of countries

-Such intervention also has to have a diplomacy role

-Türkiye still in NATO, Russia did (once) have "contacts" with Israel. Egypt would very likely be willing to work with both.

-Goal would be to stop the genocide on Palestinians-start talks

However-for now-I do not see ANY evidence for such a Turkish-Russian (DJ-my view-welcome) intervention...

War did spread to the West Bank, with "slow escalation" in Lebanon. 

Bad weather and starvation, infectious diseases by now may be killing dozens of (most) children/vulnerables per day in Gaza...

Amid escalating tensions, Israel has warned of severe retaliation against Hezbollah for its bombing to the Israeli military barracks, demanding its withdrawal to the Litani River, 40 km from the borders, and threatening significant destruction in southern Lebanon and Beirut. This development raises questions about the potential scope of Israeli military action and the potential retaliation to the Israeli menace.

Israel, equipped with advanced military capabilities and NATO significant support, is capable of launching a full-scale bombing campaign against Hezbollah, as evidenced by the recent use of warplanes and phosphorus shells. Hezbollah, in turn, has stepped up its response with the use of half-ton explosive Burkan rockets, with the conflict currently confined to the border area but with little appetite for it to spread.

Further complicating matters is the involvement of Yemen’s Ansar Allah Houthi forces, which have closed the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Israeli shipping, challenging US efforts to maintain regional maritime security. The United States is actively pursuing diplomatic measures to de-escalate and prevent further escalation of the conflict.

DJ, NATO may end up in another "overstretched" war...from Yemen/Red Sea tp Lebanon/Iraq/Syria...Without US run NATO the US proxy "israel" would stop to exist..The western goal in creating "israel" in 1948 is to get control over Middle East oil and gas...BRICS-extra in fact ended that control-with that the "use" for "israel"...

MS in his video also reported bread-distribution in some cities, soldiers surrendering to the Russians asking foor food...DJ-Further indication Ukraine may face another famine...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor ;

The Holodomor,^[a] also known as the Great Ukrainian Famine,^[b] was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. The Holodomor was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1930–1933 which affected the major grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union.

While scholars are in consensus that the cause of the famine was man-made, whether the Holodomor constitutes a genocide remains in dispute. Some historians conclude that the famine was deliberately engineered by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement.^[c] Others suggest that the famine was primarily the consequence of rapid Soviet industrialisation and collectivization of agriculture. A middle position, held for example by historian Andrea Graziosi, is that the initial causes of the famine were an unintentional byproduct of the process of collectivization but once it set in, starvation was selectively weaponized and the famine was "instrumentalized" and amplified against Ukrainians to punish them for their rejection of the "new serfdom" and to break their nationalism.^[9]

DJ, 1932-33 may have seen 3 to 5 million Ukrainians dying of hunger...The present NATO provoked war could bring a repeat of this mass murder...

Russian attacks on electricity and infrastructure main goal is to unable military transport. Ukraine railways need electricity. Russia again repeated its terms to end the war;

-Ukraine NOT in NATO

-Safety for Russian speakers (de-nazification)

A third goal has to be Crimea being Russian since the 18th century...Base of the Russian Black Sea fleet since 1789 (or so...)

DJ-Russian strategy in Ukraine;

-keep most fighting not far away from Russian supply, NATO has to send its supply over a 1000 kilometer

-limit own losses, exhaust Ukraine army

-Use Russian air superiority over Ukraine for "deep strikes" (near Poland, Romania) on strategic goals...

Russian Forces report and confirm the destruction of a NATO operation center in Starokonstantinov, Ukraine, by a Kinzhal hypersonic missile strike!!

Initial reports say Ukrainian suffered 28 casualties and NATO lost at least 12 officers!!

DJ, NATO (a.o. Polish ?) military did have talks in a bunker near an airbase with Ukraine military. Russia did find out and blew up that bunker. Russia has been attacking NATO/western forces in Ukraine quite often...Polish losses may be over 1,000 (or maybe even 10,000) "volunteers". However Poland did change its position on Ukraine. 

Ukraine agriculture products and truck drivers on the EU market bring the Polish competition in problems. Also Poland may have up to 4 million Ukraine refugees-under EU rules allowed to work in EU countries. 

DJ-My view on Ukraine;

-The "west" did see most of its financial help end up in Swiss other banks...Ukraine did NOT spent that money on preparing defense lines to stop Russian advances...Ukraine only recently started to work on a defenseline in the north-close to the Russian border...(to little to late)

-Also a lot of western weapons did not reach the frontlines; to much of that ended up on the "black market"...but also a lot was destroyed during transport..

-The idea was Ukraine would "show" western weapons to be superior...Leopard-2 tanks being destroyed is "bad" for investors in German-Dusseldorf "Rheinmetal"...the UK did not want its challanger tanks being blown up on frontlines...patriot-air defense was often destroyed on the ground...(not good for air defense !)...US other weapons also were NOT a "major succes" in Ukraine...so "bad for bussiness"...(one of the major goals is profits for the war industry-major donors for US politicians...)

-Ukraine did already have a serious health problem. Multi resistant TB is widespread. A famine, lack of heating, over crowded housing is pushing the population towards a very serious crisis...

-Ukrainians voted for zelensky to END the conflict-NOT for war ! Recent polls indicate the Ukraine population -in general- want peace...NATO is pushing this war...

-"nationalists/fascists" may be the main factor bringing change. So far their forces (30,000 ?) are "anti-retreat forces" to stop other Ukraine military pulling back from frontlines (or even pushing them into suicide operations to silence them...). Mutiny and public uprisings are a matter of time...Goal of the "elite" may be to avoid Poland, others, take a large part of western Ukraine (part of Poland till 1939 a.o.) 

DJ-Lots of commetators predicted "Ukraine war will end in august, or january 2024"...the most likely way the Ukraine war will end is by power change in Kiev. I expect this winter will be "very hard" for Ukraine...a "mild winter" however may change perspectives...

I do NOT think Russia is very likely to start a second front from the north. Russian goal is to "limit the cost" for Russia. Putin made it clear Russia-Belarus-Ukraine are all part of the "Russian mir" -the Russian "sphere/peace"...The present Russian elite is also "nationalist/orthodox-conservative"-may not be that far from a part of the Ukraine elite...(western Ukraine-once Polish is catholic). 

Lots of countries want the Ukraine war to be over...Even the US-biden-(DJ-I blame biden for this war ! His/DP claim "Putin made trump US president as a main reason...also the phantasy of Russia being weak may have pushed the bidenlan" to start this war-goal is regime change in Moscow/stop BRICS) may need peace in Ukraine in the hope of reelection...(poor US voters !)

The present EU/UK "elite" can not pay for this war...see a very major crisis...However they also need to "spin/twist" it as a "victory for democrazy"....So elections/coup replacing zelensky and "NATO respecting the will of the Ukraine people" could "make democrazy win" provide a way out...

Talks on Ukraine joining the EU -looking at Türkiye- may take decades...BRICS-extra may be able to offer some hope for Ukraine...

DJ-I think by march 2024 (supposed to see elections in Ukraine) this war may be over...

NATO again responsible for hundreds of thousends people killed, another country destroyed...

Pandemics and wars are a very bad combination...

DJ, The US did "import" soldiers from Latin America to fight a.o. in Yemen. In exchange-if they survived-they would become US (veteran) citizens...

The Ukraine war is "outsourced" to East Europeans, the Palestine war is fought -so far- most by "israeli's" thinking the "west" is NOT using/wasting them for "western (energy) goals"...

Next step is robot wars-drones did a lot of killing in Afghanistan, Pakistan...Ukraine more and more turning into a drone war..but "a country still needs people to die for it"...Economic collapse may offer the poor (kept poor and uninformed) no better alternative than "dying for your country while killing Muslims, Russians...Chinese are next"?
