Dnipro Tuesday evening, 22 August

Countdown minus 2 days to independence day here, everyone is on tenderhooks nervously awaiting whatever the court jester has in store. People are starting to get angry now, no one can see anyway our forces can break through, and increasingly people are talking about the need to stop this insanity. More and more stories about sons of political and economic leaders being overseas are circulating, along with the constant exposure of corrupt practices. All over Ukraine conscription centres were raided by police, hundreds of them. This is only for Western consumption though, Ukrainians know how corruption works here, and it will never be stopped.

The past few days have seen very large numbers of ambulance traffic in and out of Dnipro on Kharkiv/Donbass fronts, same fuel trucks, same munitions and resupply columns. Saw a serious looking azov regiment on a run last Friday, first in a while, heading towards the front. I detest them, passionately, they are the reason this country is being destroyed, their hatred of all things russian overrides any love for Ukraine, Poland can have them all, and good luck. But, they want to fight, so good luck to them, but leave those who don't want to alone, people have a right to live, everyone, including those in Donbas who havent known peace for over 9 years.

Looking around the world right now is depressing, and frightening to anyone with an ounce of intelligence.

Ps, I should have mentioned, summer is over, trees changing colour now, evenings noticibly cooler, to me it looks like it is going to be a long, cold winter

"Russia didn’t just invite President Ibrahim Traoré to Moscow — they sent a state aircraft to personally pick him up from Burkina Faso. That’s not diplomacy. That’s respect.
That’s symbolism. In a world where African leaders are often summoned like subordinates, this moment flips the script. It tells a new story: of African sovereignty being recognized, of alliances built on mutual interest — not colonial residue.
While the West imposes sanctions and sends lectures, Russia sends a plane. You don’t have to agree with everything, but you can’t ignore the shift. This is not the Africa of the 1960s.

This is a continent choosing its friends, asserting its dignity, and rewriting the terms of engagement.

Whatever your stance, history will remember that on Victory Day 2025, the Sahel sent a leader — and Russia welcomed him with full honors. The balance is tilting, and the world is watching ".

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.
