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.

It seems to me that we are now in a long term standoff in the Persian Gulf with the Iranians keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed they say until the US makes concessions which I cannot imagine it will ever make. Whilst this is debilitating for the global economy, from an Iranian point of view this strategy carries risks and as I have discussed in various programmes Alex and I have done together, I am far from sure that long term it is the right approach. for Iran to take. Strengthening relations with the key BRICS states, ie. China and Russia, makes better sense to me.

The key point however is that it is unlikely that the Strait of Hormuz is going to reopen any time soon, and this is intensifying the steadily growing energy crisis, especially in Europe. With gas reserves at very low levels and uncertain supplies of oil and gas, Europe on top of all its many other problems must now look forward to a very hard winter.

Meanwhile with every day that passes Ukraine is getting more and ...

Essential watching. Please spread widely.

What has Trump unleashed upon the US and world economies? What monsters have his short sighted planless actions created? What can be done if anything to turn things aground.

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.
