Snow thickness reaches seven meters in Hakkari

Efforts are being made by snow removal teams to open the roads providing access to villages and hamlets; however, progress is challenging due to the thickness of the snow.

The heavy snow in the Yüksekova district of Hakkâri has adversely affected daily life.

Snow removal teams are making efforts to open the roads providing access to villages and hamlets in the Dağlıca region, where the snow thickness reaches up to 7 meters in some places.

Despite the ongoing efforts by the District Special Provincial Administration Directorate's construction site teams to clear the blocked roads, the thickness of the snow is making their work challenging.

According to a report in Anadolu Agency, the teams are using construction equipment to create a "snow tunnel" and aim to quickly open the road for access to villages and hamlets.

Danny Haiphong: Russia is going to march right through Poland and Romania, right to retake Germany. It's going to conquer Europe, and maybe it won't even stop in England.

American economist and professor Michael Hudson: Well, that's just nonsense. The reality is that Russia and China don't need Europe anymore. They don't need the United States.

Danny Haiphong: Just in the last few days, you've had numerous American military magazines and especially European spokesmen saying, if we lose in Ukraine, Russia is going to march right through Poland and Romania, right to retake Germany. It's going to conquer Europe, and maybe it won't even stop in England.

Michael Hudson: Well, that's just nonsense. The reality is that Russia and China don't need Europe anymore. They don't need the United States. Whereas under the Clinton administration, Madeleine Albright says, America is the unique country, it's the necessary country.

The fact is that the rest of the world not only finds America unnecessary, but America and its NATO allies to be the major threat to their own prosperity. So they're essentially splitting into their own world. And the BRICS group is expanding its trade relations, its investment relations, and especially its financial clearing and monetary operations to be independent of the dollar, de dollarizing and certainly independent of the euro, which seems to have no visible means of support right now and going their own way.

Now, that is exactly what has led the United States to push Israel to take, essentially to follow Netanyahu's belligerence. Because the United States says, we realize we're losing power. We know that it's really not a stalemate. We know that we've lost the chance for world dominance. We may be reelected by telling people it doesn't really matter, but we know that it does matter. The last chance we have to assert american power is military, and the main military prize is the Near east.

Now, just as it was after 911 when Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld pressed for an invasion of the Iraq to begin grabing its oil and to essentially create America's foreign legion in the form of the ISIS and al Qaeda Iraq. So now America has two armies that it's using to fight in the Near east. The ISIS, al Qaeda, foreign legion. Arabic speaking foreign legion, and the Israelis. The plan is, and America is willing to fight to the last Israeli, just as it's trying to fight to the last Ukrainian in order to make this final grab of the near east in fighting Iran. This is a crazy idea, but it seems that that's exactly what is being planned.

General Petraeus, who lost the war in Afghanistan, has said, we've got to conquer Iran. That's going to, we can regain all the power that we've lost by attacking Iran. And so now it looks like President Biden is hoping to make a political comeback by saying, well, we may not have blocked Russia and Ukraine, but at least we've conquered the Near East.

'He did not rule out the presence of French intelligence services on Ukrainian territory. Earlier it became known that after the strike by the Russian Armed Forces, many foreigners who spoke French were admitted to Kharkov hospitals.'
