Dmitry Medvedev, 26 November

American politicians and journalists are seriously discussing the consequences of the transfer of nuclear weapons to Kyiv. It seems that my sad joke about the insane senile Biden, who decided to die gracefully, taking a significant part of humanity with him, is turning into a frightening reality. Transfer nuclear weapons to a country that is at war with the largest nuclear power? The very idea is so absurd that it raises suspicions about the presence of paranoid psychosis in Joe The Walking Dead and all those who speculate about the expediency of such a step.

And yet we have to comment on nonsense:
1) the very threat of transferring nuclear weapons to the Kyiv regime can be considered as preparation for a nuclear conflict with Russia;
2) the actual transfer of such weapons can be equated to an accomplished act of attack on our country in the sense of paragraph 19 of the Fundamentals of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence.

The consequences are obvious.

🇷🇺📸Mystical blue flashes lit up the sky above Nizhny Novgorod

What actually flashed blue “flame” in the sky, remains unknown. Skeptics deny the version with a UFO and the arrival of a spaceship - the matter is actually a short circuit on power lines, which happens quite often.
Others believe, it is possible that Rick and Morty mixed up the measurements, and decided to resettle to Nizhny Novgorod.

• Joe Rogan expresses concern about escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia, particularly regarding Ukraine.
• He highlights the potential for World War III due to ongoing military support to Ukraine, including long-range missiles.
• Rogan feels uneasy about the current administration's actions and suggests significant military decisions should be paused.
• He mentions a recent missile launch by Russia, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

Joe Rogan expresses concern about the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia, particularly regarding Ukraine. He highlights the potential for World War III due to the ongoing military support to Ukraine, including long-range missiles. Rogan feels uneasy about the current administration's actions, suggesting that significant military decisions should be paused, especially with an outgoing president. He mentions a recent missile launch by Russia, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the implications of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Rogan's perspective contrasts with a video response from heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, who defends the U.S. support for Ukraine, arguing that it is crucial for democracy and freedom. Klitschko accuses Rogan of repeating Russian propaganda and emphasizes the heroism of Ukrainians in their fight against Russian aggression. The discussion reflects a division in opinions about U.S. involvement in the conflict, with Rogan leaning toward caution and skepticism about further escalation, while Klitschko advocates for continued support for Ukraine.

The complex situation surrounding the Ukraine conflict, highlighting various perspectives on the roles of the U.S., NATO, and Russia. One speaker expresses sympathy for the Ukrainian people suffering due to U.S. policies, noting that the U.S. is the largest financial supporter of Ukraine, which they suggest is driven more by business interests than genuine concern for the people. They criticize the military-industrial complex for profiting from the war and highlight the corruption within Ukraine's leadership. They acknowledge that while Ukrainian soldiers are bravely defending their homeland, Russia's actions are provocatively aggressive, stemming from long-standing tensions related to NATO expansion. The speakers also express concern over U.S. leadership, particularly criticizing President Biden for potentially escalating the conflict and playing into the hands of the military-industrial complex. They reflect on the nature of modern warfare, suggesting that negotiations often lead to unfavorable outcomes, and propose the idea of a demilitarized zone as a possible solution. The conversation shifts to the political landscape in the U.S., expressing confusion over the Biden administration's direction and questioning the handling of significant financial contributions related to the Ukraine situation. Overall, they convey a sense of urgency and uncertainty about the future, emphasizing the need for clarity in leadership and financial accountability.

Klitch Kov discusses the diverse perspectives individuals hold based on their backgrounds, such as being Jewish or Christian. He shares a story about a military veteran who left service due to disagreements over war motives, highlighting the complexity of opinions regarding global conflicts, like the situation in Ukraine and Russia. Klitch emphasizes the importance of preventing war, expressing concern over the potential consequences of nuclear conflict, which could escalate into World War III. He reflects on how quickly life can change, drawing parallels between sudden global events and personal experiences of loss or illness. Klitch advocates for diplomacy and dialogue, suggesting that a strong leader could mediate to prevent further escalation. He stresses the urgency of addressing these issues, drawing on his own experiences of living through war in Iran and emphasizing the need for peace.

Rogan expresses concern about the potential for escalating conflicts driven by the defense industry's need for profit. He highlights a scenario where a company faces declining sales due to global peace, prompting executives to seek ways to create fear and urgency to boost weapon sales. He draws a parallel to selling life insurance by emphasizing the emotional appeals used to persuade clients about the importance of financial security for their families in case of unforeseen events. The discussion underscores a troubling reality where the push for war is seen as a means to maintain revenue, reflecting on the broader implications of such motivations in the context of global stability.

Joe Rogan has indeed voiced concerns about the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, particularly focusing on the implications of military support, including the deployment of long-range missiles. His perspective includes a critique of the current U.S. administration's approach, particularly under President Biden, suggesting that there should be a pause on significant military decisions during a transition period of leadership. Rogan's apprehension stems from the belief that such actions could lead to unintended escalations, potentially sparking World War III, especially given the nuclear capabilities involved when Russia responds with missile launches.


Rogan's views have sparked a notable counter-argument from figures like Vitali Klitschko, who argues that supporting Ukraine is essential for upholding democracy and freedom against Russian aggression. Klitschko has accused Rogan of echoing Russian propaganda, emphasizing the bravery and sacrifice of Ukrainians, and framing the conflict as a defense against an unjust invasion rather than an escalation initiated by Ukraine or its supporters.


This discussion highlights a broader debate on international relations, military involvement, and the responsibilities of global powers:

• U.S. Military Support and Global Tensions: There's a significant divide in how military aid to Ukraine is perceived. While some, like Rogan, view it as potentially reckless, others see it as a necessary support for a nation defending itself against aggression.
• Critique of U.S. Policy: Critics within this conversation express concerns over the motivations behind U.S. military and financial aid, pointing towards the influence of the military-industrial complex and questioning if these interventions truly serve the interests of peace or rather perpetuate conflict for economic gain.
  
  
• The Role of Leadership: There's a call for leadership that prioritizes diplomacy over escalation, with some like Klitch Kov suggesting that a strong mediator could prevent further conflict. The conversation also reflects on the unpredictability of war and the dire consequences it might bring, including nuclear threats.
  
  
  
• Financial and Strategic Implications: The discussion also touches on the vast sums of money involved in supporting Ukraine, with some questioning the accountability and effectiveness of these expenditures in actually securing peace or just fueling ongoing warfare.

Putin is under immense pressure right now, both from increasingly angry, outspoken Russian public opinion and from officials within the Kremlin, to take far more aggressive action.

If he orders strikes outside Ukraine into Europe, that's extremely dangerous and he knows it. I'd suspect what he will do is authorize a clear escalation of dramatic strikes within Ukraine. And if that's his decision, that will happen soon.

How Western companies are silently taking control over Ukraine's land market.

From January 1, 2024, Ukrainian agribusiness firms were free to buy land in the country under the 2020 land reform which prohibits foreigners from acquiring land until a future nationwide referendum. But Western players have already sneaked into the market with the help of top five Ukrainian landowners.

Listing foreign shareholders of Ukrainian top agriculture firms, the Oakland Institute, a US-based think tank, refers to limited information and lack of transparency in the Ukrainian oligarch-driven companies, who are also highly indebted to North American and European financial institutions.

Who are Ukraine's top five landowners and who is behind them?

In Ukraine, 64% of citizens support the initiation of negotiations with Russia to freeze the conflict, as the country has already suffered significant losses, reports the publication "Strana" on Tuesday, citing data from a sociological study by the Ukrainian analytical center "Social Monitoring."

"The majority of surveyed Ukrainians (64%) expressed support for starting negotiations to halt hostilities, citing Ukraine's substantial losses; 31% of respondents do not support this," the report states.

The publication notes that 39% of Ukrainians believe that the objective of the conflict should be to restore internationally recognized borders from 1991. However, 56% of those surveyed disagreed with this statement.

Proposal to give Kiev nuclear arms highly extremist — Kremlin

Dmitry Peskov noted that this is an absolutely irresponsible line of reasoning from those with a poor grasp of reality

MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The idea to provide the Kiev regime with nuclear weapons is highly extremist, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news briefing.

"Even the most provocative policies aimed at escalating tensions have a highly extremist aspect. So, probably, this viewpoint belongs to this ultra-extremist flank," the Kremlin official said.

He noted that this is an absolutely irresponsible line of reasoning from those with a poor grasp of reality. Peskov also pointed out that such suggestions are being voiced anonymously.

On November 21, the New York Times reported that some officials in the US and Europe proposed returning nuclear arms to Kiev, which Ukraine gave up after the fall of the Soviet Union. However, the newspaper noted that this is difficult to carry out and fraught with grave consequences.

I see many News posts on Alex Jones's platform declaring that NATO is poised to launch a 'sneak attack' on Russia, a lot of such talk - now for a start this is hardly 'sneaky' if mass media organisations can talk about it, Russia must have an effective intelligence capability, this must have an awareness that vastly exceeds anything in the Western media, I think we are safe to assume this! If an entire country's existence is at stake, we have to assume that Putin and his government is across the nuances and intentions of their adversary, I recall Putin stating 2 years ago "If NATO and America want to challenge us on the battlefield- then bring it on, we will meet you" - Russia has been prepared for this for a long time.
The next few weeks I think will be about as critical as it can get.

My feeling is that further strikes within Ukr will have no further deterrent effect on the Western Leadership class (who, after all, have engineered, funded and enforced a massive and sustained destruction of Ukr people and land - and seem keen to finish the job - there is certainly a visceral hatred of Ukr at work behind all the spouting of lying compassion); but that there are a wide range of possible and "unexpected" responses that do not (or may not) fall into the tripwire/ trap that NATO are setting to "justify" yet further escalation.

There are almost-never just two choices, and Russia has had a long time to consider these matters. I expect to be surprised by what Russia do next - if that isn't an oxymoron.

[Tintin]

I expect the Russian intelligence network is already well aware of this of course, but, here we get to see where they're assembling:

Text: Spanish mercenary accidentally reveals coordinates of important Ukrainian foreign mercenary base.

The camp is located near the city of Yavoriv in the Lvov region, just 20 km from the border with Poland. The foreign militant published the exact coordinates of the military facility in correspondence with his family members. After Russian hackers gained access to his laptop, everyone learned the location of the secret base.

On online maps you can distinguish barracks, parade ground, shooting range, stadium and other objects typical of a military unit.

My fear, irrational though it may seem, is that Russia will be forced to strike because of the West's irrational behaviour. The obvious choice (to me) would be a US military base in the UK, or a building like the US Embassy, which would show their accuracy and our vulnerability.

The way our newly elected government are behaving feels as though they're running the place down - asset stripping anything the Tories left behind, and that they intend us to be sacrificed either to bring about the NWO or Armageddon.

For some unfathomable reason they're unable to grasp that their day is over and that while any strike (on the UK or elsewhere) may be condemned by other nations, international support would strengthen behind Russia, China, Iran, etc. on the basis of their great provocation in the face of insane behaviour from the West.

I'm also very suspicious of Netenyahoo's behaviour which may appear to be separate, but might tie in to the Big Picture.

PS: Another consideration is that the Biden camp might be trying to cover up the massive corruption - much more than we suspect - which has gone on in Ukraine for years which will be uncovered by Donald Trump in a couple of months and attract prison sentences if there's no war.

Alex Jones/Infowars is often very sensational! — as are many other platforms right now, both mainstream and 'alternative'. There's a lot of clickbait everywhere.

For the most grounded and sober analysis of current events, I'd recommend (1) Pepe Escobar, (2) Alexander Mercouris (on his own channel and also on The Duran, (3) Jeffrey Sachs, (4) Douglas Macgregor, (5) Ray McGovern, and (6) Alastair Crooke, who's usually only to be found with Judge Napolitano every Monday morning.

There are a few others, but those are my own go-to sources for reliable information. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with Pepe Escobar.

High-Precision, Long-Range NATO Missiles Against Russia: Why Now? extract

The problem is how any "settlement" would play out.

First (see map) Russia will not settle for anything less than the four regions it has already incorporated into its territory (including the "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine"). In addition, a demilitarized buffer zone (of some distance) would be necessary extending out from these regions and away from the Russian and Belarusian borders to the North.



NATO and EU nations would, undoubtedly, insist on militarily occupying ("peacekeepers") the rest of Ukraine beyond these zones, but such a presence would create an uneasy, and potentially dangerous, peace for some time to come. Hence the talk of sending their military forces to Ukraine and possible/eventual "war with Russia."

Of note in this respect is yesterday's announcement that the "Biden" admin will begin sending anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine to "blunt the advancement of Russian troops." Interestingly, the mines are said to be of "nonpersistent" design, meaning they become inactive within weeks of deployment. Why now? Russian troops have been advancing, in one form or another, for most of the war. Why would NATO/Ukraine want to deploy anti-personnel mines that last for only a few weeks?

Much like the use of precision long-range weapons, the use of "non-persistent" anti-personnel mines now is more likely to be part of a strategy for a negotiation settlement, than to effect any significant change on the current battlefield.

The point of authorizing (and using) both NATO long-range precision weapons against Russia and anti-personnel mines now is in preparation for expected negotiations after Jan 6th.



By using these weapons and calling Russia's "nuclear bluff" (while also being careful not to push too far), NATO expects that Russia will be forced to accept them as a de facto (rather than theoretical) part of Ukraine/NATO's arsenal against Russia, and thereby provide NATO with a more favorable basis for negotiations.
