“Boris Johnson Calls for NATO Troops on the Ground in Ukraine Yet Again
By which he means: Not British Troops. Because they don’t have any. And not himself, personally, of course. He means YOU. He means “America will fight this war while we hide in our castles and trebuchet diseased cow carcasses at the peasants.” …Purely in jest, you mind.
“NY Senator’s Shocking Proposal Secede to Canada to Avoid Trump’s America”
….Aaaaaand with that super-move, Democrats were never elected again. 2 Senators, 26 Congressmen, and 28 electoral votes leaving moved Congress into a Republican veto-proof supermajority from which they did not emerge for 100 years.
Not only that, Upper New York refused to join Canada, as the entire state from Westchester north is blazing red, so they had to turn NY City into an embargoed nation-state, a colony of Halifax, Nova Scotia, accessible only by sea. Of course all Wall Street had long since removed to Miami, with ½ the electricity rates and also no income tax.
And a happy ending was had by all. Do it!!!! …You know it’s truly breathtaking watching the Slave Plantation Owners tell the slaves, “You’d be nothing without me!”
“UK lawmakers vote in support of assisted dying” — CNN
4% of all Canadian deaths are by the State now. Already. Any of you seen “Logan’s Run”? We thank you for your service.
“Zelenskyy Offers To End ‘Hot Phase’ Of War In Exchange For NATO Membership
To end the war, Zelenskyy wants the thing that started the war.” Yup. Did anyone ask Russia?
You know like “Elections have consequences”? (I know no one here believes that) Well “Losing has consequences” too. I think I said this like 3 months ago when they first started the “Oh no, we lost, but we’ll still just get everything as if we won” talk. Right. I swear to God you could kill 70% of the planet and the remaining people wouldn’t notice. Look at cell phones: you could literally have a nuclear winter and they’d still walk into light poles because they never look up to see where they’re going.There’s a fog of Un-Reality from coast to coast, mostly getting thicker, about everything. Post something free on Craigslist: “Can you deliver that?” No! “Can you deliver it 150 miles?” F– No! “Why not? I don’t understand! Why R U so meeeeeaaaannnn???”
And so from the simple things to the complicated things. With every person from the bottom to the top. ….Aaaand such are lies. Stop helping.
No. Winning is NOT the same as losing. Thanks.
“Democrat Mayors Say They Will Use Police To Obstruct Trump’s Deportation Of Illegals
“…look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail.”Okay, depends on what the PEOPLE will support. Last time – and I’m sure we’re all stunned, about un-reality – most of America was NOT about to deport, or even have any borders at all. Such are lies. But now they are, so the Denver mayor will lose.
“There will be consequences for all those who pushed interference hoaxes.”Promises, promises. They’re Republicans, that means I won’t believe it until a year AFTER it happens: Jussie Smallet got sprung.
“We are living in the digital gold rush.”
Yes, but the problem is, now’s not the time to buy it. As usual. Articles like this mean we’re getting near time to sell it. I’m not saying you can’t do well, it may go to $200k, Certainly over $100k, but this is way, way more risky FOMO than buying below $70k, or like at $50K. At $50 you always had a great bet it would at least $100.
This is similar to Tesla: yes, they may be a great company (or not) and a going concern, but at $400? It’s not the price, Price/Earnings + every other metric is 10x overvalued.
“• West Plotting To ‘Occupy’ Ukraine – Russian Intel (RT)
All over the internets, “They” are sending 100,000 “Peacekeeping” NATO troops. Uhhhh, dips—ts, NATO invading and occupying Ukraine is THE REASON THE WAR EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE. And killed a MILLION men. The second anyone crosses the border, Russia will vaporize them. As they did yesterday, and many times before that.
So who are you talking to? BoJo the Clown says “We” are … F—k off! “WE” aren’t doing anything, because YOU have fewer soldiers than football players in the Premier League. ALL EUROPE couldn’t find 100,000 men. They mean US. The United States. We ain’t going.
Okay, suppose we left and Europe DID some up with 10k/pc which would be a superhuman, herculean effort for them. They’d also have to walk on foot from Marseilles to Lviv as they have no jeeps. Then what? Again, Russia would not declare war but the minute they crossed the border, all 10,000 would die. Then Europe would have NO soldiers at all. Even at home.
So this plan is so stupid it’s not even a plan, they’re just fishing, feeling out tentacles of what to do, to get some occupation, to lock Trump in, and to escalate by any means to mobilize the entire West as a North Korean, tyrannical lockdown state, where all wealth is with government and military. NY Times already said NoKo was their Dream!
What else? Remember they were going to remove Russia from the Security Council so they couldn’t veto military actions against them? Yeah, the Global South stopped that nonsense. How is the UN going to authorize said occupation? They have no moves, they’re just chewing over past moves, trying to find an unused ticket they haven’t tried at the Casino window yet.
….Aaand, of course, that’s why London is going to nuke themselves. The cameras may be out to remove all the gold (for security reasons, not secrecy reasons, wouldn’t want a Brinks Truck robbed) before they firebomb the place. Same as 9-10 by the way, as “Plumbers” climbed up and down the towers for weeks all night. …Anyone check if they sold London to the Port Authority and took out terrorism insurance yet?
“• Lights Out In The Ukraine, In General Kellogg’s Brain Too (Helmer)
It doesn’t matter who you send because we already lost there. So you SHOULD send all the Neocons and warmongers. That makes their power-groups happy you installed them, AND they get the reputational damage of failing yet again. I wouldn’t send Vance, to what? To fail all in public there? Send Bolton. I can’t believe this isn’t more obvious.
“• Zelensky Offers To End ‘Hot Phase’ Of War In Exchange For NATO Membership (ZH)
I can’t even grasp what is happening here. Because Ukraine is an actual real country and not a puppet already? Okay, what’s NATO’s win here? (pretending a single official narrative is true) First, it’s against the law, second, none of the countries will permit it, third, THE MINUTE THEY SIGNED THEY WOULD BE IN FULL WORLD WAR WITH RUSSIA. Who would nuke them all to powder.
Entry > Article 5 > Deployment > Nukes. Heck, NATO wouldn’t even muster men and get them on city buses in the Eastern direction before Berlin was nuked within 100 miles from the city center.
And therefore NATO will sign ya’ right up for why? No, dips—t, they want YOU to die. For nothing. That’s why NATO exists: to kill YOU. Slavs. “If a single White life is saved…” The Garden People are special, and need to be preserved, not die in a frozen ditch: that’s YOUR job. The Jungle coolies. Again, we’ve covered this every month since 2014, and they’re still just digging this ticket out of their pockets and presenting it at the window again. No. This is still not a winning ticket. You infantile retards. This is a zero.
So they bring this up for why, and in public, and I can’t keep up with what a sack of weasels and pathological liars, sociopaths are up to. It’s unimaginable. Which is why we just sit up here like sensible people and hold the line to logic and justice. That’s hard enough.
“In early November, Johnson argued that if Donald Trump pulled US support for Ukraine in order to force a peace deal, Britain might send troops into the fray.”
Yes!!! Oh my God, dreams do come true. Do it!
“• “This Week, The Second Trump Trade War Started” (Philip Marey)
A lot here, all normal. That’s good, fine. However, Trump still needs a small plane crash and they are going to launch a WWIII flag somewhere. I’d be astonished if they didn’t. So we’re setting a baseline, a trajectory, that is about to get diverted. That doesn’t mean that understanding isn’t valuable though.
“• China Could Devalue Yuan To Spite Trump – JP Morgan (RT)
Yeah, but this has internal effects and there are a lot of moving parts. That would raise food prices, for one. Second, wouldn’t optimism for BRIICS work against it? Third, wouldn’t they be better off RAISING Yuan and leaning into BRIICS instead? So they CAN, but there’s no clear case, it’s like saying the market COULD go up. Or down. Or sideways. Thanks, genius. They said it, so it’s probably the #Opposite as they wrong-foot their poker table partners. Again, my bet US$ spins up, up (so they are right, not discredited) but then takes a 30% haircut suddenly. (So they are wrong, and sell out to you.)
““..a 30% reduction in energy demand.”
They’re reaching a point where that’s a 30% reduction in population. How does this work? It’s a ration card, they are WWII denial-of-everything. Including heat, to murder 5,000 elderly, any time starting now, it’s December. Okay, in WWII, they had a REASON. They had an END. That’s the only reason people put up with it while a fat, drunk Churchill got all he wanted. You’re just saying we need to eat nothing and die for no reason, forever. Uh-huh.
“Epps Loses Defamation Case Against Fox News (Turley)Super-annoyed with Epps. What we NEEDED was to get him either on the payroll, with his handlers, which can’t be all that hard to find, check their cell records, OR to clear him, which I find impossible. But: Republicans, so nothing was done, and of course nothing either practical or ethical.
Why leave this to linger when we can absolutely settle it one way or the other? Ohhh, just to tear the country apart of course.
““Israel says ‘suspects’ in vehicles violate ceasefire by trying to return home..”
• Ceasefire Falters as Israel Launches Airstrikes on Southern Lebanon (Antiwar)What ceasefire? Israel never stopped shooting.
“• Merkel Blows A Hole In Washington’s Nord Stream Narrative (Marsden)I mean, duh, but there’s something going on here. Putin was ALSO after Merkel this week, which he almost never does, even when she so deeply deserves it. What, I can’t guess, but start collecting receipts.
Antlers: I imagine it’s itchy, like losing a tooth. It must have a purpose, or it wouldn’t exist at such great expense to their vitality, even mobility in the woods. For one thing, they concentrate potassium, etc for the mice that gnaw them later. Hard to fathom, though. It’s like when that story of bees and cats in China.
Hoover Dam: that is the craziest use of language as an English-speaker. Maybe it seems more normal to non-English people as it is grammatically and practically correct. So it’s an AI essay, with an AI animation. However, a bunch of using the language incorrectly, causes rather incorrect implications: they “Bombed” Nevada to put up a Dam? What makes it “Crazy” and “Dangerous”? (Clickbait, for-profit words) Nothing. It’s absolutely, perfectly ordinary, just very large.
Okay, they doubled doubled and repeated repeated sentences in it, and “Engineers” don’t do/build things. Workmen do. They PLAN things, etc. So if you want your brain to melt, just learn using this for a while.
As I keep saying: this is a very short window. In two seconds, about a year, AI will learn AI using AI, where it will use this AI video as a core source for the next AI video and decay the language even further. Until it’s unintelligible gibberish, which it’s real close to already.
Then we’ll turn to known humans, and although it burns me, “Experts” and “Authorities”, gatekeepers like the NY Times again. Only probably TimCast and Crowder by then. Infowars being far more accurate.
This is likewise true of the Wild West, media, chat boards. They are all already AI generated bot comments mostly to fill space and cause trouble. The cheaper the clutter is, the more of it, so they will restrict space, and restricting requires a host, and a host has to get paid, so you’ll have to BUY the NYT again, in paper, or buy TAE subscriptions on Patreon or some form. Very soon, 5-10 years. It’s gathering. So it’ll be the same, and yet, as everyone collapsed, completely different.
On the IRS, probably the first audit they’ve ever had. But I wanted to point out beyond that, yes, that is the behavior of violent, narcissistic sociopaths, which is impractical at a minimum, well…something else.
This is mob behavior, and as I don’t live in the mob bear with my poor example here. If you’re a mob Boss, you can get pretty much anything you want, even outside the Family, push around, force anything you want on the outside. Nevertheless, you sleep with your Capo’s wife. And worse than that, you want, or don’t care that he knows you WANT him to know. Why? Because that’s the only way you feel SAFE, subconsciously. Because you know, if there’s any trouble, that’s the MAN who will attack you, and that’s where and WHY they will attack you first, because it’s such an insult, it’s clearly the point they can’t stand.
Now obviously they are insane, clearly that makes you LESS safe, but when under pressure the subconscious does this, and if you had “made the unconscious, fully conscious”, as Jung said, you wouldn’t be a violent narcissistic sociopath anymore, you’d be an enlightened master. So get a grip.
Since they’re all the same personalities, expressing the same behavior in fractals, from the counter lady at the dollar store to Gavin Newsom of the Getty fortune, they do all the same things. It’s not logical or practical, it’s EMOTIONAL. They need POWER. Not to have the power, but to FEEEEEEL the power. So with the IRS, or the Fed, they know if anything’s wrong, if they’re losing power, we will go after the IRS first. We will audit and end the Fed first. Leaving the Rockefellers and Warburgs year’s worth of time to plan and escape, throwing – I dunno – some well known ethnic group on the ground as bait for you bears and lions to eat as they run away.
So you see at that level, the trick DOES sort of work. …Of course if they ran the country well and efficiently, we wouldn’t be mad at them and topple them all anyway. They could just be rich and safe. But that would be WORK, and they are mentally deranged.
BTW, I’m sorry I lose my temper about racism sometimes. It’s just difficult as an American, where literally EVERY person is mixed-race, mixed-religion. I don’t even know where I could find a person or a family who wasn’t, coast to coast. Even in Appalachia, even in the South, even in Maine. So the arguments about “Dem people” just make no sense at all, while the bad behavior supposedly caused by “Them”, Christians, Blacks, whoever, just goes on anyway, when no one is “just Black” in the first place. Like Obama as “black”. Or like “W” as a Christian.
How about “People who have left hands” are the designated bad ones? They R “Them”.

Starmer and Net Zero are preparing to starve, freeze, and further de-industrialize the UK for what? The UK emitted 305 million tons of CO2 last year and falling. China emitted 10 billion tons of CO2 last year (and rising).* Net Zero will only drive up prices by limiting supplies. Who exactly is behind these plans. Who will be getting rich, or richer by these plans. It will do nothing to stop China, India, and SE Asia from increasing emissions that dwarf whatever Net Zero could accomplish.
Where does regulatory capture begin? The truth is regulatory capture begins in every voting precint within the United States and US Territories. The citizens of the United States place 535 persons into Federal Office. The Territories send six non-voting persons. The division is 100 to The Senate and 441 to The House of Regulation. “Abe said, where you want this killin done?” over at First Street and East Capitol Street. These persons can be easily identified because they have one hand out and the other in your pocket. Just to prove the weakness of this perspective let us quote Mark Twain, “Our lives, our liberty, and our property are never in greater danger than when Congress is in session”. My lexicon is weak so let me once again quote The River Pilot, “Congress: America’s only true criminal class”.

a groomer who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of persons
the groomer has a pimp on the street well versed in the art of deception and procurement
the pimp says to a person, “Hey Babe, Take a walk on the Wild Side”. I can get you paid for getting your kicks on Route 66.
all you got to do is give the Speaker or Majority Leader an air start and have this little piece of legislation brought to The Floor
the person say’s, “I like a lubed peccadillo, it’s not a pecado, but I’d like to keep it hid”
when “this killin is done” the person and John meet at a glory hole out on Highway 61. probably a revisit

You all know cracker is thick as a brick, but the light is starting to dawn. The plan is to replace a group of unelected persons whose only interest is keeping their midlle class job with a group of unelected persons who have a personal interest in writing rules to execute the laws they contracted to have passed. John writes the legislation and the regulations at the same time and takes a position to oversee the enforcement of the regulations. In step two John fires a group of middle class ass kissers in a cost saving maneuver. The final step is to hire Whitey Bulger’s nephew to manage the FTC.

Are You An Alcoholic? Look For These Warning SignsSpecial Alert for All Duh’mericans
Wake-the-Fuck-Up
Alcoholism is a dangerous condition affecting millions across the United States each and every year, from the poorest among us to even very powerful government officials. It’s important to know when you have a problem so you can seek the help you need. Here are nine signs to look for when determining if you are an alcoholic:
Your sentences often don’t make sense. – If you find yourself saying things like “the significance of the passage of time” or “space connects us all,” you might want to seek help.
You sometimes wake up in the morning to find you posted embarrassing videos on the internet. – Drunk-posting is a sign your life is out of control.
You wake up from alcohol-induced blackouts with fragmented memories of having run for president. – If you’re having vague flashes of Beyonce, Lizzo, and Mark Hamill all endorsing you for president and calling you “brat,” you need help.
You make poor decisions like picking Tim Walz as your VP. – Alcoholism can inhibit our decision-making, and this can affect our lives and careers in negative ways.
You find yourself drinking during stressful times such as difficult work days, cabinet meetings, and presidential debates. – Being drunk during big career moments is a sign you are a slave to alcohol.
Your head hurts a lot in the mornings, as though you just fell out of a coconut tree. – If you find yourself saying, “Doug, get the ibuprofen” every morning, take a good, long look in the mirror.
You drink in unsafe situations such as while you’re in control of a motor vehicle or while you’re in control of an entire country. – Driving a car, or a country, under the influence is illegal and dangerous

Russian Jets Support Syrian Counteroffensive After Jihadist Insurgents Capture Aleppo
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russian-jets-support-syrian-counteroffensive-after-jihadist-insurgents-capture-aleppoDamn. Aleppo being taken is serious. Naturally “Russia is bombing civilian celebrators” now in the news. Yes, sure, people are always both being attacked by islamist extremist terrorists AND being liberated by them if they take over. Both at once, of course!
Syria is now coincidentally being attacked from the east by “terrorists” (US controlled fighters) while “terrorists” (Turkish – NATO?) from the northwest continue to attack.
Wonder if there’ll be some completely and totally unrelated air attacks by Israel at this time. Nothing pleases Israel so much as to bomb multi-religious multi-ethnic secular governments in favor of islamist regimes. After all, Israel is fighting for its very safety!
Surely escalation in this region by NATO was long ago contemplated by Russian (not to mention Iranian) planners. What next?

Suck It Up
How extremely, unarguably, and totally coincidental that these attacks by multiple groups in Syria commenced immediately after the Israeli cease-fire.
Aleppo being the most Christian city in the Middle East, naturally those Christians would be crowding the streets to celebrate being overrun by Islamic terrorists. They must be jubilant to now be controlled by a group that will outlaw Christmas decorations just in time for this year’s festivities.
Ehhh anyway. I guess Iran is invited in to deal with the “terrorists,” then Israel has a freakout and does more bombing/pagers/whatever, gets to see if anything improved with Iron Dome?
A US carrier moved to the Pacific recently, leaving just one Carrier anywhere near in the Med. Maybe Russia can set up the newest multi-warhead medium range kinetic weapon, point to the red button and tell Syria to fire it – after selling it to them – after gifting them the money to buy it as “support” amirite – at the various US bases in the middle east and Turkish assets inside Syria and watch all that mysterious support for “terrorists” dry up?
WHO exactly is plausibly supporting these “terrorists” at this point – I don’t mean actually, I just mean in the news. Do they now magically build cargo-cult airports which cause armaments and logistics to magically fall on them from the sky? Do we not bother with narratives anymore at all?

History Goes Cliff Diving https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/history-goes-cliff-diving
In “Days of Thunder, the First Inflexion Presidency” Dr. Tim Morgan presents the implications of the widespread realization of inevitable global economic contraction in post-peak industrial economy. He predicts that this paradigm-shift will become clear during the second Trump presidency, and will induce a massive pullback in discretionary economic spending of all kinds, as focus upon the essentials becomes the clear path to survival.
There are, as I’m sure you know, two starkly opposed views of our economic future. One is that, once we get over the sheer bad luck of experiencing a global pandemic and a European war in quick succession, we’ll be back on the road to infinite economic growth.
The other, favoured here, is that the fading away of the fossil fuel impetus is causing the economy to inflect from growth into contraction. Renewables can’t replicate the economic value hitherto provided by oil, natural gas and coal. Whilst some eventual successor to carbon fuels cannot wholly be ruled out, it can’t possibly arrive in time to prevent severe economic contraction.
Huge practical issues hang on the outcome of this contest. If the latter view is correct, most “growth” is now being faked, intentionally or not, primarily by the use of runaway credit expansion and the under-reporting of systemic inflation. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2024/11/26/293-days-of-thunder/comment-page-1/#respondRachel Marsden spills the beans that the US strangled German industry to make it move to the US.

The President Trump transition team has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to start the process of transferring control of the federal government. The landing teams from each of the cabinets will now begin to engage with their exiting counterparts.
There were many articles written about the delays in signing the agreements. However, President Trump waited until he has his cabinet fully assembled before signing the first part that permits the landing teams to engage. The second part with government provided offices and technology is NOT being accepted.
President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, announced the Trump transition team has refused to sign an MOU with the Government Services Administration (GSA), and will not be using cell phones, computers, offices or “any technology” provided by the GSA. This is a smart move to avoid the Deep State surveillance situation that was faced in the first term. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/26/trump-transition-team-signs-modified-white-house-agreement-without-govt-technology-to-conduct-surveillance/French Govt Collapse Imminent As Le Pen Piles On Pressure Over Budget Vote
While French bond spreads have compressed modestly overnight (as French Finance Minister Antoine Armand announced that he is ready to amend the 2025 budget proposal to avoid a government collapse), they remain extremely elevated (at their highest since the European financial crisis in 2012) as rising tensions threaten the country’s economic stability.
Armand made headlines in September for asserting that the National Rally party was not a party he would deal with, as it was not part of what he called “the republican arc,” instigating French Prime Minister Michel Barnier to even phone Le Pen to apologize for the comment.

..After WWI, it was Britain that pushed Germany to create an independent Poland very much along the lines the country of Ukraine was created fifty years later. “The Germans decided to resurrect an independent Poland as a German client state more than a century after it had disappeared from the map, a geographical change that would greatly weaken Russia”, writes Ron Unz. Immediately afterwards, British agents began to encourage Polish intransigence against Germany. British efforts deliberately undermined all attempts to form a compromise between Germany and Poland over Danzig. Not that America was any more innocent: “Roosevelt ordered his diplomats to exert enormous pressure upon both the British and Polish governments to avoid any negotiated settlement with Germany, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II in 1939,” writes Unz.
As soon as WW2 ended (after England was saved thanks to the immense sacrifice of Russian soldiers) London immediately called for the destruction of Russia by the means of Operation Unthinkable. It was only the loss of the election by the Tories that saved Russia in 1945 from a sneak attack by the combined forces of the German Wehrmacht and “as many as 47 British and American divisions in the area of Dresden, in the middle of Soviet lines.”…
..And so Britain has done it yet again: the old Empire refuses to relent even in the face of certain defeat. They fantasize about squeezing Russia, pushing it ever Eastward. First, they tear off Poland, then they tear off Ukraine, until Russia is shattered into small pieces that may be individually digested by the Anglo-American Empire and then mercilessly looted. This is the usual modus operandi for them. Let’s not forget that Britain is guilty of instigating the US Civil War between the states. London was preparing to send the British Navy to aid the Confederate Army until the Russians stepped in and saved the Union’s bacon. The Russian fleet spent the winter of 1868 in New York and San Francisco, and told the Brits to bugger off. https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-surprise-of-hazel/I think they did, but they can’t talk about it.

The Creator of Oreshnik gives some technical details.
We have created hypersonic weapons in a short period of time. And these are materials that used to work at 1,500 degrees, then at 1,800, and these at 2,000, and we did it, while others did not,” Kovalchuk told Izvestia… According to him, the next step should be materials that can withstand 2,500-3,000 degrees. “Other materials that can withstand high temperatures will make it possible to create even more advanced weapons. The next step should be materials that can withstand 2500-3000 degrees,” Kovalchuk said. https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-creator-of-oreshnik.htmlGilbert Doctorow wrote this article Mach 2, 2018.

Pepe Escobar, Trump may be Oreshniked on Ukraine even before he gets to China
With Oreshnik now entering the picture, everywhere the Hegemon will try to harass China they will also have to face Russia.
The best he might be able to do is to divert attention from Project Ukraine by accommodating the Old Testament psychopathological genocidals in Tel Aviv, plus the Zio-con armada in D.C., in their obsession of forcing Washington to fight their war on Iran. Talk about a slight change of focus of the Forever Wars.
Tehran not only exports most of its energy to China but is an absolutely essential node of the International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) as well as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI); that is, north-south and east-west crisscrossing Eurasia.
That would be the real war of choice – simultaneously against three BRICS (Russia, China, Iran). After all the American ruling class is already invested on a do-or-die Hybrid War against BRICS.
Still, the Trump 2.0/China face-off will be the fulcrum of the Hegemon’s foreign policy starting January 20. Virtually all of Trump’s appointments – as misguided as they may be – believe it is possible to break apart the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership and prevent China from buying energy from Iran.
There will be attempts to disrupt shipping lanes and supply lines – from the Maritime Silk Roads in the Indian Ocean rimland to the Northern Sea Route by the Arctic, including possible false flags along the INSTC.
But with Oreshnik now entering the picture, everywhere the Hegemon will try to harass China they will also have to face Russia. So the temptation to end Project Ukraine and NATO’s encroachment on Russia’s western borders will always be there in the back of Trump’s mind, part of a “seduce Russia to undermine China” syndrome. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/11/27/trump-may-be-oreshniked-on-ukraine-even-before-he-gets-china/They know Russia best and are completely sure… Nuclear attack unlikely despite Putin’s warnings, U.S. intelligence says
A series of intelligence assessments over the past seven months have concluded nuclear escalation was unlikely to result from a decision to loosen restrictions on Ukraine’s use of U.S. weapons. That view has not changed following U.S. President Joe Biden’s changed U.S. stance this month on weapons, said the sources, who were granted anonymity to speak freely about sensitive intelligence.
“The assessments were consistent: The ATACMs weren’t going to change Russia’s nuclear calculus,” said one congressional aide briefed on the intelligence, referring to American missiles with a range of up to 306 kilometers.
Russia’s launch of a new ballistic missile last week, which analysts say was meant as a warning to Washington and its European allies, has not changed that conclusion. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/28/world/politics/nuclear-attack-putin-us-intelligence/ It’s not just a lot of helicopter crashes in other places?

Simplicius, Zelensky Finally Breaks: Willing to Accept NATO Membership for Territory Swap
Russia is in the driver’s seat and will not indulge such petty attempts to cozen and wheedle out a minor victory for Ukraine. As such, the only danger we can now expect is for the West to escalate in some brazen way should they finally realize Russia is not taking the bait. But we know neutered Europe has no political authority or consensus to act unilaterally, and at this point can only function like a pack of hyenas, if other major European states back each other’s ‘daring’ initiative.
Trump will have to walk a tight rope, as leading the push to rashly crash the gates with US troops will leave him looking like a warmonger, while doing nothing at all sullies his legacy with a mark of weakness akin to Biden’s Afghan withdrawal debacle. The best thing Trump can do, of course, is to dump Ukraine and blame the mess on Europe to salvage his ‘legacy’. There are rumors he can initiate a Ukrainian audit which will find grave corruption, giving him the justification to clear his name of it.
I would be very surprised if Trump was so foolish as to indulge the country which was central to the core movement to destroy him. Recall, virtually everything about the post-RussiaGate “Ukraine Scandal” conspiracy to destroy Trump originated from Ukraine. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/zelensky-finally-breaks-willing-to Non-starter… West plotting to ‘occupy’ Ukraine – Russian intel

Advanced surface-to-air missiles may be the first major Russian arms headed to North Korea in return for its support in the war in Ukraine.
While the specific type of air defense systems wasn’t disclosed, Lee Illwoo, an expert with the Korea Defense Network in South Korea, said that the S-400 surface-to-air missile system was most likely. This system, which combines long-range surface-to-air missiles, launchers, ground-based radar systems, and other components, is among the most advanced available anywhere. As well as being widely used by Russia, including in the war with Ukraine, they have been exported to Algeria, Belarus, China, India, and Turkey. https://www.twz.com/land/north-korea-getting-new-air-defenses-in-return-for-supporting-russia-in-ukraine-official Simplicius, The Empire Strikes Back – Launching Multi-Pronged Hybrid War Against Resistance Axis

BEIRUT: A monitor of Syria’s war said Saturday militants now controlled a majority of Aleppo city, reporting Russian air strikes on parts of Syria’s second city for the first time since 2016.
“Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions… took control of most of the city and government centers and prisons,” said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, adding that overnight, Russian “warplanes launched raids on areas of Aleppo city for the first time since 2016.”
Syrian authorities closed Aleppo airport as well as all roads leading into the city on Saturday, three military sources said, as militants opposed to President Bashar Assad said they had reached the heart of Aleppo.
The opposition fighters, led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, carried out a surprise sweep through government-held towns this week and reached Aleppo nearly a decade after having been forced out by Assad and his allies. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2581247/middle-east 11/29/24 Hundreds Dead, Fighting Rages as Syrian Islamist Rebels Reach Aleppo
Beginning late Wednesday, the Syrian Islamist rebel faction Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) launched a major offensive out of the Idlib Province into the Aleppo Province. The result is heavy fighting and airstrikes, and it is now being reported HTS has reached the city of Aleppo itself.
HTS captured over 50 towns and villages on the way from Idlib Province to Aleppo, which is the second largest city in Syria. The most recent figure available is that as many as 400 people, mostly combatants, have been killed in the fighting. A number of others have also been killed in airstrikes by Syria and Russia’s air forces, at least 19 on Thursday alone.
The Russia-backed counter-offensive was aimed at keeping HTS out of the important city, which before the Syrian Civil War was the nation’s industrial hub. It seems HTS has reached at least five neighborhoods of Aleppo, in western districts of the town.
Syria’s Army was a lot more upbeat on their prospects, saying they had “repelled” a major offensive into Aleppo, despite evidence that HTS forces are still in the city and some claims their fighter had reached the city’s center. The army also reported that they had reclaimed some towns and villages lost yesterday in the offensive, though that can’t yet be confirmed.
It is fair to say the counter-offensive isn’t going as well as planned, and there are some reports indicating that Russia’s heavy air commitment to the ongoing Ukraine War meant a smaller force left behind in Syria, and that force was slow to react to the surprise offensive.
Syria’s military has reportedly added special forces into the area of western Aleppo. This is likely a response to how poorly the fight has been going on the ground, and the fact that this fight is including more than just HTS fighters.
Indeed, the Turkish-backed Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has joined the HTS offensive, and is fighting against Syrian forces in the same area.
HTS has dubbed their offensive operation “Deter the Aggression,” and says the effort is meant to prevent Syria, Russia and Iran from pushing into Idlib Province, which they hold. The fighting has also shut down the M5 highway, which connects Damascus and Aleppo. They have also reportedly neared the M4 highway, which leads eastward out of Aleppo. That’s likely to make deployments of further reinforcements by Syria’s government more difficult in the days to come. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/11/29/hundreds-dead-fighting-rages-as-syrian-islamist-rebels-reach-aleppo/ 11/28/24 Andrew Korybko, The Terrorist Offensive In Aleppo Is Meant To Deliver A Coup De Grace To Syria
The terrorist-designated Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), which is the rebranded form of the Al Qaeda-backed Al-Nusra, launched a surprise offensive in Aleppo this week. It’s already made a lot of progress due to the terrorists’ use of drones and other modern warfare tactics. These were reportedly taught to them by Ukraine according to reports in the run-up to the latest hostilities. Other reports included Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) warning about a false-flag chemical weapons attack. Syrian, Iranian, and Russian forces (including its aerospace ones) are currently trying to push back HTS’ advance. This intense fighting comes immediately after the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal, which that Iranian-backed Resistance group agreed to in spite of the late Nasrallah’s pledge not to do so without a ceasefire in Gaza first. It can therefore be interpreted as an Israeli victory despite Iran hailing this agreement and its ideologically aligned influencers spinning it as a Resistance victory. With the Resistance objectively on the backfoot in the region, it makes sense why their HTS foes decided to go on the offensive at this specific moment, something that they’d clearly planned to do for a while. If the hostilities continue, then another large-scale humanitarian crisis might follow. https://korybko.substack.com/p/the-terrorist-offensive-in-aleppoIsraeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for the ‘total annihilation’ of the Palestinian population of Gaza within the next couple of years. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/israeli-finance-minister-calls-for-total-annihilation-of-palestinian-population/

He described the situation in northern Gaza as a “catastrophe and genocide, with no one there to provide relief to the civilians.”
The spokesman said the Israeli army targets any movement by any person in northern Gaza, and even a person filling water or looking for food or wood is attacked.
Since 5 October, Israel has launched a large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza to allegedly prevent the Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas, from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.
Since then, almost no humanitarian aid, including food, medicine and fuel, has been allowed into the area, leaving most of the population there – currently estimated at 80,000 – on the verge of famine. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241129-israel-army-killed-100-palestinians-in-northern-gaza-in-past-24-hours-civil-defence/ SS IDF Is ‘Liquidating’ the North Gaza Ghetto The IDF’s ‘Aktion’ in north Gaza resembles nothing short of the ‘liquidation’ of the ghettos of East Europe
The northern part of the Gaza Ghetto is being “liquidated” (as remarked on October 31). Israel’s methodology there is that of the Nazi death squads, who were said to have “liquidated” the ghettos of Eastern Europe before transporting their involuntarily confined Jewish occupants to the extermination camps, in cattle cars.
Going up against ghettoized civilians were the soldiers of the Nazi Party, the SS, the toughest in the Wehrmacht. Like the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the SS presided over a Kafkaesque apparatus of propaganda, intelligence, police and military bureaucracies.
Plainly put, the purpose of liquidation was deportation to the death camps for extermination. Israel, of course, has further streamlined and industrialized mass eviction and murder by collapsing liquidation and extermination into one. https://www.unz.com/imercer/ss-idf-is-liquidating-the-north-gaza-ghetto/At least 33 Palestinians, including three World Central Kitchen employees, were killed and several others injured on Saturday as Israeli forces intensified their strikes across various areas of the Gaza Strip https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241129-the-war-on-gaza-after-the-ceasefire-in-lebanon/
