Dnipro, Tuesday 21January

Well it seems the world has survived the first 24 hours of Trump. The world hasn't ended, sweeping arrests of liberals haven't been made (I guess after Pedo Joe pardoned just about everyone that's to be expected), and the conflict in Ukraine hasn't yet ended. As I have said many times, Trump has a very mixed report card on his involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, I sincerely hope he has learned his lesson and walks away, concentrating on rebuilding the usa relationship with Russia and China so the three global super powers can sit at the same table. The strength of the Russian / Chinese relationship and their global influence could bring about 100 years of unprecedented peace and prosperity to the rest of the world, despite the globalist neocons, so let's hope Trump is smart enough to sit at the table and become the greatest president the usa has ever had. It's in his control to do so, if only he is smart enough to listen to the right people.

Here in Dnipro though things grind on. A few big missile and drone strikes this morning seem to have removed some more of Ukraine's remaining industrial base, no one is sure what was hit, I heard the strikes were in Pavlograd and if that's true, they were big, as that's 50 km away.

Electrical supply, touch wood, has been manageable the past few weeks, again touching wood, as Russia has not struck Dnipro or the east power generation for a while. I am grateful to President Putin for the humanity, one not on display in Bankova Str or its western enablers.

Everyone I know here has been awaiting Trump, to see what he will do. Not because they want him to continue equipping the army, or funding zelensky, in fact the exact opposite. Everyone knows if usa military and financial aid stops, the war will end that much faster.

There is a lot of mocking of Zelenksy, and a lot of anger growing about missed soldiers, who have not been heard from in months. It is going to be difficult to hide the magnitude of Ukraine's losses much longer, and when the true scale is known, people are going to be very angry.

Had main stream media and the Pedo Joe admin told the truth, this war would have stopped 2 years ago. This war is their war, the destruction and crimes against the Ukrainian people may have been perpetrated by Zelensky, but they are fully owned by the msm and Pedo Joe's bunch of criminals.

Food, fuel and other goods are at normal supplies, the uah has fallen around 5 percent against the usd, that will no doubt change with Trumps 90 day halt to aid, in fact, that halt could bring Ukraine to an end. Let's hope so.

Ambulance traffic in and out of Dnipro is at record highs, they are a constant now, you can not drive 2 minutes on the main road into Dnipro from Kharkiv without one coming hurtling past.

The focus obviously will be the situation in the conflict between the US and Iran, which with Trump's announcement of an unilateral 'indefinite ceasefire' appears to have hit a pivot moment. However I hope we will find time to discuss the latest developments in the Ukraine conflict, where the Russian Spring Offensive is now well underway.

There is of course also the political crisis in Britain. As I said in a recent video of mine, the truly astonishing thing, at least for me, is that Starmer remains Prime Minister. I was expecting him to be out by Christmas 2025, and though things since then have - entirely predictably - only got worse, despite a scandal that would have destroyed any other Prime Minister in recent history, incredibly he continues to hold on to his job, with no move to remove him in sight. If you want proof of the corruption and decay of the UK's political class, and of the 'decline of Britain' it is causing, well you can have no better proof than this. As a ...

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.
