Russia's president has vowed retaliation for the ongoing Ukrainian attacks on border regions...

The continuing Ukrainian incursions into and strikes on Russia's border regions are primarily aimed at disrupting the ongoing election in the country, President Vladimir Putin has said.

The president made the remarks on Friday during a meeting with permanent members of the Russian National Security Council. Putin condemned the efforts made by Kiev to disrupt the ongoing election, vowing retaliation for the attacks.

In order to disrupt the voting process and intimidate people, at least in the regions bordering Ukraine, the Kiev neo-Nazi regime has conceived and is trying to carry out a series of "demonstrative criminal armed actions," Putin stated.

The effort includes continuous indiscriminate drone and artillery strikes, as well as a concentrated effort to breach the country's border, launched by Ukrainian forces earlier this week, the president explained, describing Kiev's actions as "senseless from the military, and criminal from a humanitarian standpoint."

This is why EU diplomacy is practically dysfunctional

European Council • Brussels • Monday, Nov. 13, 2023
The Western European bloc's representatives no longer try to understand those who disagree with them, instead they deliver lectures dripping with arrogance...

A recent incident in which a group of ambassadors from EU states refused to attend a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov perfectly encapsulates the state of European diplomatic culture today. The reason is simple - over the past 30 years, the need to be diplomatic in the traditional sense of the word has almost disappeared.

Despite the fact that the envoys of EU countries in Moscow are relatively well-educated and not stupid, these individual peculiarities no longer count for much. Everything is determined by their dogmatic world view, which has become the opposite of what is necessary for civilized relations between states.

Those observers who question why in today's world each EU state needs its own separate ambassador in Moscow have merit in their arguments. After all, the envoys really do not decide anything and cannot fulfill their duties in the traditional accepted way. It would be much easier for everyone if these people - both great and not so great - would return to their countries for a while.

Comment: This interesting intellectual analysis frameworks the increasing divide between the West and Russia.

Tehran is getting better infrastructure than New York - thanks to China

As Beijing helps revamp the Iranian capital's metro system, a bigger picture of counter-hegemony takes shape...

Last week, Masoud Dorosti, the managing director of Tehran's bustling metro system, dropped a bombshell: After seven years of intense negotiations, the Iranian capital is gearing up to welcome a whopping 791 sleek metro trains from China. It's a move set to transform the city's transit scene, injecting new life into a system that hasn't seen a serious upgrade in half a decade.

But that's not all. Tehran's mayor, Alireza Zakani, threw in another ace from his sleeve last month, unveiling a flurry of contracts inked with Chinese giants aimed at giving the city's infrastructure a serious facelift. From major transportation projects to ambitious construction ventures, China's fingerprints may soon be all over Tehran's urban landscape. Heck, they're even rolling up their sleeves to erect housing units in this sprawling metropolis of nearly 9 million souls.

For anyone who's ever wandered the bustling streets of China's megacities, the thought of Tehran sporting a metro system rivaling any of China's tier-one cities isn't just a pipe dream; it's a tantalizing glimpse into the future. With its sleek trains zipping through immaculate stations, China's urban rail network sets the gold standard for public transportation worldwide. Could Tehran, a city boxed in by international sanctions, really outshine the likes of New York City's aging subway system?

Well, that wouldn't actually be that hard - but it's worth rewinding a bit.

Comment: While the West is (literally) derailing track, China's train has left the station.

Netanyahu green-lights Rafah ground invasion, despite Biden opposition

Israeli Defense Force is reportedly planning a civilian evacuation before the invasion

Israel will commence an invasion into the Gaza city of Rafah, despite protests from the United States and other international powers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced approval of the operation via his office on Friday. The Israeli Defense Force will invade the city in southern Gaza as part of its larger military operations in the region.

The operation will reportedly include an evacuation of civilians, according to The Jerusalem Post.

The Prime Minister's office also announced that an Israeli delegation would leave for Doha to continue negotiations for the release of hostages.

The security cabinet must first arrive at a comprehensive position on the pressing issue.

Comment: Well it's pretty clear who's actually in charge here. But Israel may not get everything its own way. They may be planning a "civilian evacuation", but to where? Egypt and Jordan have both categorically said they would not receive any Palestinians forced out by the IDF.

Best of the Web: Houthis go hypersonic? How Ansar Allah's advance in missile tech could scupper US warmongering in the Middle East

A military source close to Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement has informed Sputnik that the militia has carried out a successful test flight of a hypersonic missile and is preparing to add it into its arsenal. Sputnik asked a leading Russian military observer about the development's strategic implications.

Sputnik's source has indicated that the new Houthi missile can accelerate to speeds up to Mach 8 (nearly 10,000 km per hour), and that it is powered by a solid fuel engine - which typically reduces launch preparation time dramatically and eases transport.

Comment: It's unlikely to thwart the evil empire's presence there entirely, however it is probably going to make them reconsider their airstrikes on Yemen:

Macron leads the way to Western civilization's suicide

France has just made abortion, already legal, a constitutional right - a sign of the country's morbid drive to self-destruction

The Olympics will not be the only big event and source of euphoria in Paris in 2024. While Russian President Vladimir Putin is encouraging his population to have more children, Macron's France is celebrating the 'enshrinement' of abortion in the constitution. What does this say about France and the West in general?

In 2022, there were 234,300 abortions in France. The procedure is legal upon request until 14 weeks after conception. These figures are interesting when one considers that French politicians (and elderly voters, who are the majority of the electorate) insist on maintaining the extremely costly pension system and say that it has a price. Someone needs to pay. That is, the active population needs to pay. You would think that to sustain the requisite size of the active population, it would be more logical to encourage having more new births than to 'enshrine' having fewer. But that's not an issue if you import the population.

Comment: There is more to survival of a nation than a paragraph in a constitution, much depends on what the people of France will do.

2) Looking up western civilization suicide gave a rather interesting range of titles:

Western civilization on the brink of collapse

US the greatest threat to Western civilization - Trump

3) The following headlines show Macron has had a turbulent time in the last few months: Governing France, even if only nominally is not an easy task, especially not at this time. What helps Macron is intelligence, which however does not prevent him from displaying a fair measure of arrogance, if that is the right word? This may be responsible for him not always seeing what is obvious to others.

Alt-Media is in a Dilemma after Biden Endorsed Schumer's Call for Regime Change in Israel

US Israeli flag rift
Biden wanted Bibi gone for ideological reasons long before the latest war, but the US' full support of Israel at the start of this conflict risked irreversibly harming American soft power in the Islamic World and poses a diplomatic threat to its interests if neutral Russia mediates a resolution. It was therefore decided to apply a combination of "grassroots"-media-political pressure onto Bibi to get him to ruin ties with Russia then ramp up the regime change operation against him afterwards.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for regime change against Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu in a speech that was praised by Biden as "good" because it "expressed serious concerns shared not only by him but by many Americans" but was predictably condemned by the powerful AIPAC lobby. The Alt-Media Community (AMC), whose dogma and general composition can be learned about here and here respectively, is now in a dilemma since they usually oppose regime change but they also hate Bibi.

If some of its members oppose this due to their foreign policy principles, then they'll be accused of not wanting to stop his genocide of the Palestinians, but supporting a US-backed regime change in Israel with the expectation that it'll end the genocide could lead to accusations that they're imperialists. The AMC as a whole is also confused since they took for granted that the US would never turn against Israel, but these background briefings make sense of this policy shift and show that it's been long in coming:

Comment: The increasing criticism of Israel by the CNN, WaPo and other MSM could well signal a change in the approach to Israel as a lot of focus is on how to ensure that camp Biden wins in November. Continued support for the genocide taking place there is not helping that campaign.
It is also likely to signal rifts and desperation within the ruling elite on how to proceed as many globalist geopolitical projects are not going according to plan.

US supporting 'terrorism' against Russia - envoy

Washington will resort to any possible means in its efforts to harm Moscow, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov has claimed.

Russia's ambassador to the US has slammed Washington for its tacit support of terrorism against Moscow. The US is prepared to condone "terrorist activities" by its "satellite states" in an effort to damage Russia, Anatoly Antonov, has claimed, in an interview with Russian media published on Thursday.

He also accused the US of meddling in the ongoing Russian presidential election.

Washington has been Ukraine's biggest military donor by far throughout the conflict with Moscow, and Kiev's forces have used US-supplied weapons in multiple attacks on Russian civilian targets.

New York Times reports Kiev's drones losing electronic war to Russia

fpv drones rpg home made
Ukraine has been reduced to equipping FPV drones with makeshift rocket-propelled grenades (RPG)
Ukrainian UAV operators have reportedly been unable to effectively wage war since Russia improved its e-warfare capabilities

Russian forces have secured an advantage in the field of electronic warfare in Ukraine, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing military experts and Ukrainian soldiers. Kiev's troops have been unable to effectively use their drones on the battlefield due to constant jamming by the Russians, the outlet claims.

Drones have played a key role throughout the conflict and have been extensively used by both sides. For Kiev, as noted by the NYT, cheap commercial First Person View (FPV) racing drones have proven an effective alternative to artillery shells.

"FPVs play a critical role for us, as these toys are essentially mobile artillery that compensate for the lack of ammunition," one Ukrainian drone operator told the outlet.

Comment: NATO and the EU must be watching these developments with horror.
