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.

Venezuela Launches Caribbean Military Drills

[video at source]
Thursday, 18 September 2025 08:58 [ Last Update: Thursday, 18 September 2025 09:59 ]

Venezuela kicked off large-scale military exercises on Wednesday, showcasing air, naval, and amphibious capabilities on La Orchila Island as the U.S. threats against the country continue to rise.

Why it matters:

The drills underline Caracas’ efforts to project sovereignty over its territories while signaling defiance against the U.S. pressures and threats.

The big picture:

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has frequently ordered military maneuvers in response to U.S. threats of aggression. La Orchila, a strategic island about 200 kilometers northeast of Caracas, has been central to these demonstrations of strength.

What he’s saying:

Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López: “Today our commander-in-chief has ordered us to an exercise, a campaign maneuver. It is called ‘Caribe Soberano 200 ' (Caribbean Sovereign 200) ...

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 !!!
