Dnipro, Ukraine, Wednesday evening 15 October.

We are officially back into scheduled power outages in Dnipro, and I believe now the whole country.

The big geopolitical reality is that the Russians continue to advance steadily in Ukraine even as - despite all the talk about sending Tomahawks - the West's military aid to Ukraine is actually shrinking.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
