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.

Putin is in China, shortly after Trump was in China. The two visits are an extraordinary study in contrasts. Whereas the Trump visit was striking because of the absence of substantive agreements, the Putin visit is packed with them.

That does not mean that the Trump visit was unimportant or a non event. If nothing else it gave the Chinese an opportunity to give Trump and the Americans the strongest warning they have ever given on the topic of Taiwan.

Claims that the warning is the same as warnings the Chinese have previously given are wrong. I have read every readout the Chinese Foreign Ministry has published following a meeting between the US President and the Chinese leadership extending back to the days of Barack Obama and Hu Jintao. No previous warning a Chinese leader has given on the topic of Taiwan has come close to the peremptory and threatening language Xi Jinping used in the warning he gave to Trump. The fact Xi did it in a semi public venue - in a plenary meeting where the ...

IGNORING ISRAELI SEXUAL ABUSE OF PALESTINIANS
-A new report documenting gendered and sexualized violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has intensified pressure on Britain and its allies to confront the brutal realities of Israel’s occupation and military campaign against Palestinians.
-The West Bank Protection Consortium investigated a catalogue of incidents, each representing a “grave violation of bodily integrity and personal dignity,” including forced nudity, invasive body searches, indecent exposure — including to children.
-Researchers also documented cases of groping, stalking, threats of rape and the use of drones to film inside women’s bedrooms and record strip searches.
-In many of the cases documented, Israeli forces were present and either failed to intervene or actively participated.

This is a very interesting conversation (originally, in Russian), with some history about the Baltics right after the war, and and explanation of why Rus tolerates certain provocations.
It is exactly as I thought - the west wants war, and Rus does not want to cooperate (in this case, the west - aka UK - always at some skullduggery), full 58 mins:

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.
