#NordStream

💬 The answer to the question as to who benefits from these developments is obvious. The prime beneficiaries are the US and its suppliers of expensive LNG.

An indicative fact is also Sweden and Denmark’s refusal to allow Russia and the pipeline operator company to take part in the investigation, while there were no objections on their part to the Americans expressing readiness to “join the process.”

#NuclearDeterrence

💬 It is the Americans and their allies who are trying to introduce nuclear rhetoric into public circulation.

Westerners turn everything upside down, alleging that Russia is vocalising nuclear threats and that it can use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, by using various manipulations and outright lies in the process.

President Vladimir Putin and Russian officials have repeatedly made it clear that our nuclear deterrence policy is purely defensive in nature.

⚡️ Comment by the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the State of Israel

💬 We heard words of “strong condemnation” from the Israeli officials of “Russian attacks on the civilian population” of the cities of Ukraine.

According to the Ministry of Defence of Russia, today the Russian Armed Forces launched a high-precision strike on the facilities of military control, communications and energy systems of Ukraine.

It’s worth noticing, that, unfortunately, Israel chose to stand silent during eight years of ongoing Ukrainian terrorist attacks on civilians of Donbass, to turn a blind eye to the recent murderous Ukrainian attack on a refugee convoy in the Kharkov region, monstrous murders of civilians by Neo-nazi Azovs in Kupyansk and other Ukrainian cities, vicious murder of a Russian journalist Darya Dugina, recent Ukrainian terror attack on the Crimean Bridge as well as other numerous horrific and unpunished crimes of the Kiev regime.

MOSCOW, October 11 - RIA Novosti. The Russian assets of Nissan will become the property of the state, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
"The Executive Committee of Nissan approved the sale of its Russian assets to Nissan Manufacturing Rus to the Russian Federation represented by FSUE NAMI, subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. The deal involves the transfer of 100% of Nissan's assets in Russia (under the control of the legal entity Nissan Manufacturing Rus) to NAMI," — noted in the department.

We are talking about the production and research facilities of Nissan in St. Petersburg, as well as the sales and marketing center in Moscow.
One of the important terms of the deal is an option to buy back your stake. The concern can use it within six years.
According to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, it is assumed that the enterprise will continue to work, we are talking about maintaining about two thousand jobs.
NAMI will be able to attract other companies as production partners and create joint ventures.
AvtoVAZ will serve Nissan cars and supply spare parts in the future.
The Nissan plant in St. Petersburg was shut down in March after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine.

German ZDF show Ukraine map without Donbas

The BASF keystone: as goes the gas, so goes BASF, so goes Germany, so goes Europe . . .

"Everything is connected at the German chemical firm BASF’s Ludwigshafen site, a 10 sq km industrial complex so large that byproducts from making ammonia, for example, are funnelled through a 1,771-mile pipe network to produce fertiliser, disinfectant, diesel exhaust fluid, or CO2 for fizzy drinks.

The plant is a giant integrated process — and it cannot run without a supply of natural gas.

“Once we can receive < 50% of our maximum requirements, we would need to wind down the entire site,” says a spokesperson.

The consequences of a BASF shutdown would be far-reaching, not just in Germany but the entire continent.

BASF-produced chemicals are used to make anything from toothpaste to vitamins, [and animal feed]. It's a top manufacturer of painkillers, and its largest customer industry is the automobile industry [— and AdBlue, which is required to run diesel engines, and keep trucking running ... ].

PARIS ALERT

LA VIE EN ROUGE


Well, it's my main home. And when I'm away, I do worry. A lot.

From one of my moles:

"It's pandemonium here, only one out of seven gas stations is open, people are abandoning vehicles and trucks along the highways. This is the revenge of the middle class on a neoliberal government who wants to collapse the economy.

"You pretend to be our government, then we will pretend to work."

It's very effective, the government is getting desperate because the whole country is on standstill and the interior minister has 'threatened' the workers and the syndicates (collectives) with all types of fines and police action.

The strikers want higher wages precisely because there is massive inflation caused by government deliberate mismanagement of the economy. This is the law of unintended consequences and Klaus Schwab must be seething in anger. For the French lower middle class has simply started a firewall. You want to burn us down, we will burn down things first. This is how countries end. Lower middle class versus the bourgeoisie and the gentry.

A sixth Republic should be near if the strikes continue and we will be hard pressed to see who is going to replace the oil and gas station workers. So after the Canadian truckers, the farmers in Holland, it is now the French gas station and oil workers. The blueprint of massive non-compliance with government directives works and should be copied everywhere in the world."

Putin at Russian Energy Week:

Russia will NOT sell oil under the risible G7-concocted price cap.

But THIS is way more crucial:

"Part of Nord Stream reportedly remains in working condition, Russia is READY TO START DELIVERIES through it."

And..

"Russia is ready to supply additional gas to Europe in the autumn-winter period."

Don't expect the Euro-oligarchy to grow an instant IQ above - very low - room temperature.

RUSSIA GAINS BACK THE UPPER HAND IN UKRAINE

On October 12, air alert sounded in different regions of #Ukraine for the third day in a row.

The eastern and central regions of the country were mostly affected, including the capital city of #Kiev.

While #Russian forces do not stop damaging the strategic military and energy infrastructure throughout Ukraine, Kiev is assessing the damage.

According to the Ukrainian Minister of #Energy, the two days of #missile strikes resulted in damage to about 30% of the country’s energy infrastructure.

Among the targets hit by Russian missiles, there are also strategically important military facilities.

For example, the #railway junctions were damaged in #Pavlograd, which is the main line of supplies for the Ukrainian grouping in the #Donbass.

Amid the ongoing missile and #UAV attacks, the Russian military gained the upper hand on some front lines.

WHO PROFITS FROM PIPELINE TERROR?

Secret Talks Between #Russia And #Germany To Resolve Their #NordStream 1 And 2 Issues Had To Be Averted At Any Cost
By Pepe Escobar
September 29 2022

Every crime implies motive.

The Russian government wanted – at least up to the sabotage – to sell #oil and natural #gas to the #EU.

The notion that Russian intel would destroy #Gazprom #pipelines is beyond ludicrous.

All they had to do was to turn off the valves.

NS2 was not even operational, based on a political decision from #Berlin. The gas flow in NS was hampered by western #sanctions.

Moreover, such an act would imply #Moscow losing key strategic leverage over the EU.

Diplomatic sources confirm that #Berlin and #Moscow were involved in a secret #negotiation to solve both the NS and NS2 issues.

So they had to be stopped – no holds barred.

Geopolitically, the entity that had the motive to halt a deal holds anathema a possible alliance in the horizon between Germany, Russia, and China.

THERE IS NO SINGLE WAR IN UKRAINE AND NATO IS IN TROUBLE

Not to beat a dead horse, but most of the world has a delusional image in their head of the war in Ukraine.

As I have written previously, much of the fault lies with Hollywood, which through a plethora of movies has conditioned the masses to think of war as the conquest of critical territory. But that is a misleading image when it comes to Ukraine.

Yes, there are strategically important pieces of territory that must be captured or defended, but there also are vast swaths of plains (we call them prairies here in the United States) that are tactically difficult to control and, if you succeed in capturing an area of land, you create a problem of how to defend it.

Please take a look at the video above, with this in mind.

Although the video shows how Russia’s #Wagner Group is building defensive lines, please focus on the general #landscape rather than the work of the engineers..... MORE
