Russia responded to Ukraine on the Saturday attack of the ships of the Black Sea fleet by hitting high-precision weapons at the training center for special operations forces of the Ukrainian Navy in Ochakiv. According to the Ministry of Defense, the center has been destroyed.

According to available information, the Russian Armed Forces carried out an attack on the Naval Forces of Ukraine base in Ochakovo, where the Training Center for the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is located, it is reported that the communications center and other facilities on the base were destroyed. Previously, kamikaze drones "Geran-2" worked out at the Center. Earlier it was reported that Russian "Geran" went in the direction of Ochakiv and Odessa, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine traditionally reported on their destruction, but apparently not all of them were destroyed.

According to the military department, it was at the MTR Training Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that British instructors trained Ukrainian servicemen to control naval drones, which were used to attack Sevastopol. By the way, the drones were also supplied by Britain. In general, the center in Ochakiv was built by the Americans and the British precisely for conducting special operations against the Black Sea Fleet, the presence of Ukrainian Navy units there was only a cover.

The Polish Party "Law and Justice" (PiS) prepared for the return of the "Western outskirts" of Ukraine before anyone else, - writes "Dziennik Polityczny" from Warsaw.

Poland already has special rights in Ukraine: the Poles have received, under local law, the opportunity to perform functions in the government of this country, conduct business, and receive all social guarantees that apply to the indigenous population of Ukraine. In addition, Polish entrepreneurs can buy Ukrainian factories and factories, and entire enterprises in Ukraine can legally become Polish property.

Comment: It seems that Ukraine's survival as a political entity is becoming more precarious every day. Good backgrounders:

New details emerge in Paul Pelosi assault

San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed that the intruder was specifically targeting the House speaker. "Everyone should be disgusted," he said.

Police said Friday evening the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was "intentional."

The man accused of entering the Pelosi home and attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer specifically targeted the California Democrat, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed on Friday. That was consistent with the revelation that the assailant, a 42-year-old Berkeley resident, had asked "Where is Nancy?" before his assault.

Comment: Well, that's the spin. More has come out since then:
It's being reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, will fortunately make a full recovery after a man entered his home and attacked him with a hammer.
[...]




That's what it sounds like.

A Washington Post report is similar to Politico's story, but puts it this way:
Police were dispatched at 2:27 a.m. Friday to a break-in at the Pelosi home, Police Chief Scott said, adding that police knocked on arrival, and the front door was opened "by someone inside."
And who might that "someone" be?


So many questions.
More commentary on the sheer oddity of the whole story:




Stay tuned.

Arms from Western suppliers to Kiev have also been found in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, Finland's National Bureau of Investigation says

Criminals in Finland have got hold of some of the weapons that were sent to Ukraine by its Western backers amid the conflict with Russia, the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has said.

"We've seen signs of these weapons already finding their way to Finland," NBI detective superintendent Christer Ahlgren told the news outlet Yle on Sunday.

Assault rifles were among the weaponry, Ahlgren said, but declined to provide further details, as the investigation is still ongoing.

Comment: It's a long-standing problem that's been only made worse by the blank check Washington has given to Ukraine:

How did Ukraine turn into an arms dealer?

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly received his subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.

Lawyers for Trump agreed to accept the summons from the committee, Politico reported Wednesday, and Trump has hired the Dhillon Law Group to navigate his dealings with the House panel.

Late last week, the Jan. 6 committee revealed the subpoena of Trump for testimony and documents after members unanimously voted to approve one during its most recent and possibly last public hearing. Investigators are keen on getting documents by Nov. 4 and deposition by Nov. 14.

Financial analyst: 'Weeks away from whole s***house coming down'

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter said in June it was "game over, they're pulling the plug." The Fed went on an aggressive interest rate raising policy and is still raising rates. Now, the economy is staggering. Holter explains,
"For sure, we are already in a recession. We are now in the third quarter of negative growth. I think it is laughable that people put odds on whether or not we are going to go into a recession because it is obvious -we are already in a recession. Rates rising have absolutely frozen the real estate market. If you own a property, who is going to buy it? Rates have gone from 3.25% to more than 7%. I am on the record that once we saw a 3% yield on the 10-Year Treasury, you would start to see a tightness in credit. Now, we are over 4%. What few people are talking about is what has this already done to the derivatives market? . . . Think about how big the derivatives market is. Total credit worldwide is $350 trillion, but you have derivatives pushing $2 quadrillion. I have said this all along, derivatives will blow up. Warren Buffett has called them financial weapons of mass destruction. They are far bigger than central banks can fix."

Units of the British Navy were involved in a "terrorist attack", which destroyed the key Nord Stream gas pipelines, the Russian Defence Ministry alleged on Saturday.

Writing on its official Telegram channel, the ministry alleged that Royal Navy operatives "took part in planning, supporting and implementing" the plot to blow up the infrastructure in September. It did not provide any direct evidence to support its assertion.

The accusation follows a Russian Foreign Ministry claim that NATO conducted a military exercise during the summer, close to the location where the undersea explosions occurred.

NATO applicant outlines stance on hosting nuclear weapons Finnish PM Sanna Marin won't rule out the US-led bloc deploying weapons of mass destruction in the Nordic country.
NATO could establish permanent bases or deploy nuclear weapons in Finland once the country joins the bloc, Prime Minister Sanna Marin has warned, although she added that the latter scenario is unlikely.

"I've considered it very important that we don't set these kinds of pre-conditions, or limit our own room for maneuvering, when it comes to permanent bases or nuclear weapons," Marin said on Finland's Yle TV1 channel on Saturday.

She promptly qualified her statement by adding that such a development was not necessarily on the cards.
