Dnipro, Tuesday morning, 19 Nov

After Sunday/Monday missile strikes power generation and distribution is now more damaged than ever before. Power in the whole country is effected, lucky areas are 4 hours off, 5 hours on, some, like parts of Odessa, Kharkiv and Zaporoshnye are still without power.

News of the lifting of strikes into Russia, even though the news is very conflicted, and frankly bizarrely contradicted often, has not been received well in Ukraine. People are furious, they understand the reality, and the ramifications for Ukrainians which will result from any strike into Russian territory. Many of us wonder what is the difference, Ukraine has been targeting Crimea, Kursk, Bryan's and Belgorod every day for 2 years, so what if a rocket can go an extra 100 km, the fact is, given Russian dominance at the front, these rockers will have to be fired 100 km further west than they were even 6 months ago.

This is just giving zelensky his desire to convert this conflict into ww3, which he believes is his inky way to survive. Unfortunately for him, just as hitler didn't survive ww2, his fate is going to be no difference.

Russia will deal with these strikes, and again, the losers will be the West, but the lives of Ukrainians will be further negatively impacted. This is the true goal of this proxy conflict. The West wants to create a hatred between Ukrainians and Russians which will serve to contain Russia, but they have it completely wrong. It is the West that are being blamed for this conflict in Ukraine now, there is a growing sense of betrayal and hatred that is growing against the West.

This will not end well for them.

My fellow Duranians
I apologize for taking so long to get this done, last week Thursday we had a live, as you know with Daniel McAdams and therefore I didn´t get around to completing my work.
But at long last here we are:

We are looking at the most chaotic negotiation I have ever seen as part of the Trump administration races to cobble together a 'peace plan' which Moscow will accept, staving off Ukraine's impending collapse, even as the neocons, the US Deep State, the Unholy Trinity of Macron-Starmer-Merz, the EU Commission, and the Zelensky regime, pull out all the stops to block them.

So we are back to the old game of leaks, insinuations, intrigues and threats, those of us who covered Russiagate remember very well.

It is no help that the key people who are trying to cobble together the 'peace plan' - Witkoff, Kushner and by the way Trump himself - are amateurs with no professional training or background in diplomacy. So the result is that we have multiple different versions of the 'peace plan' floating around, each of them apparently saying different things on important points.

Meanwhile the Russians watch and wait, with the circus apparently due to come to Moscow next week, even as their army ...

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.
