    Putin on Point

    Tuesday, 15 November 2022 — The van says…

    After affairs at Kherson, many have recently called for his resignation, yet none have to date found anyone with either his skill or statesmanship.

    Preamble

    Way back when, one of the author’s first articles covered the career of Vladimir Putin in considerable depth. Two years later, both Russia and the rest of the world are a very different place and with current affairs being what they are, above all with the situation regarding Kherson, the Russian premier is in the spotlight as never before. With present-day happenings being as they are, this has led a number of people to turn on Vladimir Putin calling him out as a scapegoat. This article will look anew at the Russian leader, examining not only his manner of leadership, but also looking at some of those who call him out.

    ‘On The Highway To Climate Hell’ – The Climate Crisis, Activism And Broken Politics

    Monday, 14 November 2022 — Media Lens

    Last month, the United Nations environment agency issued arguably its starkest warning yet about the climate crisis. The failure by governments around the world to cut carbon emissions means there is ‘no credible pathway to 1.5C in place’. Limiting the rise of global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels was the international agreement at COP21, the UN Climate Summit in Paris in 2015.

    UN expert: ‘Outrageous’ Western sanctions are ‘suffocating’ Syria, may be crimes against humanity

    Monday, 14 November 2022 — Multipolarista

    The UN special rapporteur said “outrageous” Western sanctions on Syria are “suffocating” millions of civilians and “may amount to crimes against humanity.” The Syrian economy has shrunk by 90%.

    The United Nations’ top expert on sanctions said the unilateral coercive measures that the United States and Europe have illegally imposed on Syria are “outrageous,” and she warned that they are “suffocating” millions of innocent civilians.

    Ali Shamkhani (L), representative of Supreme Leader and  secretary of Supreme National Security Council, met Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of  Russia’s Security Council, Tehran, Nov. 9, 2022

    Ignoring the hype in the US media about White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s Kissingerian diplomacy over Ukraine, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, former KGB counterintelligence officer and longstanding associate of President Putin, travelled to Tehran last Wednesday in the equivalent of a knockout punch in geopolitics.

    Joseph Massad

    Three men stand on a stageBillionaires Sheldon Adelson (left) and Haim Saban (right), pictured in 2014, are among the wealthy pro-Zionist Jews who have financed Israeli colonization. Their role is comparable to the European Christian businesses and states that funded colonization in Algeria, South Africa, Kenya, New Zealand or even Israel. Shahar Azran Polaris/Newscom

    Since the beginning of Zionist Jewish colonization of their country in the 1880s, Palestinians have faced demands that they carry a double burden: to fight off the Jewish racist colonists while having to defend their colonizers against anti-Jewish European Christian racism.

    General Armageddon

    In January, 1944, the newly reconstituted German Sixth Army found itself in an operationally cataclysmic situation in the southern bend of the Dnieper River, in the area of Krivoi Rog and Nikopol. The Germans occupied a dangerous salient, jutting out precariously into the Red Army’s lines. Vulnerable on two awkward flanks, and facing an enemy with superiority in manpower and firepower, any general worth his salt would have sought to withdraw as soon as possible. In this case, however, Hitler insisted that the Wehrmacht hold the salient, because the region was Germany’s last remaining source of manganese – a mineral crucial for making high quality steel.

    Leaked documents: British spies constructing secret terror army in Ukraine

    Thursday, 3 November 2022 — The Grayzone

    Kit Klarenberg

    Documents obtained by The Grayzone reveal plans by a cell of British military-intelligence figures to organize and train a covert Ukrainian “partisan” army with explicit instructions to attack Russian targets in Crimea.

    On October 28th, a Ukrainian drone attack damaged the Russian Black Sea fleet’s flagship vessel in the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Moscow immediately blamed Britain for assisting and orchestrating the strike, as well as blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines – the worst acts of industrial sabotage in recent memory.

    The midterm elections in the US witnessed razor-thin races as Senate and House control hangs in the balance. But that didn’t discourage President Biden from holding a press conference on Wednesday to stake claim that the “giant red wave” didn’t happen.

    Since 2009 the world economy has been kept alive on the drip of cheap money. It was always going to be the case that once that drip was removed the world economy was going to deteriorate. September was the month stagnation gave way to slump.

Adley had been booked to host and moderate an event discussing anti-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) laws in the United States, and how Palestinians are under increasing pressure to silence themselves, when she was herself, ironically, removed from the panel at the behest of a shady advisor.

    It was a big step to take back from Kherson, yet where does that leave Russia?

    Preamble

    After the Russian withdrawal from Kherson, many are asking what Russia’s next step may be. This post needs not look at the withdrawal, the focus being on certain factors which were either underestimated or simply not considered by military leaders in Moscow in the earlier phases in the war. Today we will look at the overall situation as is and tomorrow’s article shall examine some of the options and possibilities as we look to the future.
