🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia attacked and put out of action all thermal power plants in Ukraine last night.

According to the company, the same thermal power plants that had been restored after attacks in 2024 were struck again, with multiple Russian drones targeting them ‘each minute’ overnight on Nov. 8.”

Russia has proven it is capable and will demolish Ukraine’s energy generation capacity, the infrastructure supplying it to civilian and industrial consumers and then its weapons manufacturing facilities.

Despite the risk of having their facilities destroyed or at the very least, impossible to operate due to a lack of power, Ukraine’s western partners are undeterred and are prepared to fund the construction of military factories.

🇳🇴💶1️⃣🔠🤝🇺🇦 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Norway Urged To Tap €1.8 Trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund To Help Ukraine | November 8, 2025:

"Calls are mounting for Norway to use its €1.8 trillion sovereign wealth fund to help move forward the EU’s stalled €140 billion loan for Ukraine, after a Danish newspaper revived a once far-fetched idea during last month’s EU leaders’ meeting.

Five Norwegian political parties, including three backing Labour Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre’s next government, have now urged Oslo to step in to overcome Belgium’s concerns about using immobilised Russian sovereign assets to fund a €140 billion reparation loan to Kyiv.

EU leaders discussed the issue on 23 October at a summit in Brussels, without reaching an agreement, as Belgium insists that other EU countries must share the legal and financial risks associated with the plan before it agrees to proceed. The assets are held by Euroclear, a Brussels-based clearing house.

Last week, Støre ordered a “full review” of Norway’s possible involvement.

Oil-rich Norway is sitting on the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, worth €1.8 trillion, including an estimated €109 billion earned from soaring gas prices in 2022 and 2023 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."

🥇📊🌎 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Visualizing How Much Gold Is Left To Mine On Earth | November 7, 2025:

"Gold’s scarcity is one reason it remains a sought-after safe haven. In 2025, the metal has seen its strongest rally in years, climbing over 50% as global investors react to uncertainty in the world economy.

If all the gold ever mined were melted together—about 216,000 tonnes—it would form a cube only 22 meters tall, roughly the height of a four-story building.

Meanwhile, the world’s proven, economically recoverable gold reserves total around 64,000 tonnes, forming a smaller 15-meter cube.

In this infographic, Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti uses data from the World Gold Council and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with additional historical context from Encyclopaedia Britannica, to put the total quantity of gold into perspective."

❄️🇺🇸 Cold records dating back to the 1800s may be broken by a coming Arctic freeze

The season’s first outbreak of freezing, Arctic air is headed for the United States this weekend into next week. It will register as the most unusually cold blob of air on the planet for a time.

Chilly air will reach the Plains and the Midwest this weekend before spreading to the East Coast on Monday. In total, 155 million people across the contiguous states are expected to experience freezing conditions through Wednesday.

The most notable aspect of this early-season blast of cold air is how far south it will push, reaching the Deep South, the Gulf Coast and Florida, where temperatures will tumble 20 to 30 degrees below average for the time of year early next week. In the Sunshine State, the frigid air may break low-temperature records and cause iguanas to fall from trees. The air will also be remarkably dry, making it feel even colder when combined with gusty winds.

New temperature records — record cold days or nights — might be set across 13 states, from Pennsylvania to Florida, into next week.

🇺🇸🌎🇸🇻 The Trump Administration’s ongoing military buildup in Latin America, part of their current fight against drug trafficking cartels in the region, has now expanded to El Salvador, with recent satellite imagery obtained by the New York Times showing at least three military aircraft, including a specialized attack aircraft, on the ground at Cooperative Security Location Comalapa, located at El Salvador International Airport.

The three aircraft seen at the site in Comalapa — which is one of two such joint military sites operated by U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) to support counter-drug operations in Central America and the Caribbean — include a U.S. Navy P-8A “Poseidon” Maritime Patrol and Surveillance Aircraft, an C-40 “Clipper” Transport Aircraft, as well as a AC-130J “Ghostrider” Ground-Attack Gunship operated by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
