🗣️ On the internal conflict in the US showing that the Americans are being tired of spending money on foreign conflicts:

“The conflict that is going on, that the American people are sick and tired of sending billions of dollars to foreign countries to blow people up for profit, when there are people in this country who are suffering: the homelessness crisis is out of control; Lahaina in Maui is still in rubble and ashes; Flint, Michigan, still doesn't have clean water; the education system is in the toilet. And we're sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, for what? I think the American people are sick of that,” Misty Winston, radio host and political commentator, told Sputnik.

❗️The key points from Putin's speech at the security council meeting on the Middle East crisis:

▪️We see that in the Middle East, instead of punishing terrorists, they began to take revenge based on the principle of collective responsibility.

▪️They are trying to use the situation in the Middle East for division, including the use of lies, provocations, and aggression.

▪️When you look at dead children, the suffering of the old people, and the death of medicines in the Middle East, your fists cling, but emotions are not acceptable.

▪️The USA needs constant chaos in the Middle East, so they discredit those who are ready to stop the bloodshed. Even the UN is being persecuted.

▪️Russia’s position on the Middle East has never been self-interested and it has never had a double bottom: the key to the solution lies in the creation of a full-fledged Palestinian state.

🇵🇸 More children have now been killed in Gaza over the past three weeks than perished in conflicts across the globe during any year since 2019.

That’s according to a report by Save the Children, a London-headquartered international children’s rights non-profit.
Per the charity’s figures, based on data from the Gazan and Israeli health ministries, some 3,195 children were reported killed in Gaza since the October 7 escalation, with another 33 perishing in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, for a total of 3,257.

That’s far more than the number of children killed in any other armed conflict across some 20 nations throughout 2023, and the highest number since 2019, the charity says.

If battlefield losses continue to mount, the Ukrainian military may attempt to use ‘dirty bombs’, explains Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley (@TXDPR).

Last week, the head of Russia’s arms control delegation in Vienna, Konstantin Gavrilov, warned that the “Kiev regime, with the support of Washington and its satellites, is preparing and implementing dangerous chemical provocations against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in violation of obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention.”

Since March 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry has released several reports providing evidence of an extensive US biological laboratories program in Ukraine.

🗣️ On Russia and China’s role in resolving conflicts:

“Russia has adopted, from what I've seen, a very balanced position. They condemned the Hamas terrorist attack, the terrible suffering of the Israelis in the attack, but they've also condemned the Israeli actions and the terrible loss of life that they’ve caused. And they're trying to play it neutral, which is what the US – the US has failed at diplomacy over the years in that conflict by serving as Israel's lawyer and pumping all that weaponry into the Israelis... So, I think Russia and China are stepping in. And we see this elsewhere in the Middle East,” Jeremy Kuzmarov, managing editor of CovertAction Magazine and author, told Sputnik.

❗️ The Israeli army continues to expand its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, introducing additional forces there, an IDF spokesman said

The US magazine Time has published a piece dedicated to Ukraine.

Here's the main thing from the material:

About the situation on the front:
▪️ Ukraine will not have enough men to use Western weapons, even if the US and its allies supply Kiev with all the promised arms;

▪️ The ranks of Ukrainian troops have become so empty that the average age of connoscripts has risen to 43;

▪️ Some Ukrainian soldiers refuse to go on the offensive even under direct orders from Zelensky's office;

▪️ Ukrainian authorities in early October demanded the military to carry out an operation to take Gorlovka, but received only the question "With what?" in response, as the military has neither men nor weapons;

▪️ Even before winter, amid Kiev's lack of progress, at least one minister and a general in charge of the counter-offensive may be sacked, their names have not yet been disclosed;

On theft and energy:

▪️ Ukraine officials are "stealing like there's no tomorrow," an unnamed adviser to Zelensky said;

▪️ Power outages this winter will be more serious than last year's, but the population will now blame not Russia, but the Ukrainian authorities, who are unprepared for winter;

On the betrayal of the West:

▪️ Zelensky is deluding himself and does not see that Ukraine is not winning the conflict, his unnamed aide said;

▪️ Zelensky feels that his Western allies have betrayed him and left him with only the means to survive but not to win the conflict with Russia, a member of his team has said;

▪️ Zelensky returned angry from a trip to Washington in September;

▪️ Time writes about Zelensky's admission that all his energies are spent on convincing the West of Kiev's "victory".

🇺🇸 Hunter Biden received a $250K loan from a foreign businessman shortly after his father announced his 2020 presidential bid. The younger Biden never paid off his debt, since it was later "assumed" by a generous Democratic donor.

House Republicans argue that the Bidens get a lot of loans that raise many questions, stressing that what they provided in exchange was, presumably, Joe Biden's "brand."

As controversies are piling up, polls indicate that more Americans believe that the incumbent president could have done something "illegal" with respect to his son's overseas business dealings, with some not ruling out Joe Biden may have cashed in on his son's money schemes.

❗️ American defense concern Lockheed Martin received a contract worth almost $1 billion as part of the sentinel ICBM production program - Pentagon

🇺🇸 Larry Johnson, a retired CIA intelligence officer and US State Department official, told Sputnik that Putin had “correctly framed the issue as one of growing desperation on the part of the United States to try to stir up trouble in as many places around the world as possible.”

“It’s sort of like the drowning man in the ocean who’s frantically, without a life jacket, trying to grab ahold of something - anything - to stay afloat,’ Johnson said. “And in this kind of desperation there is lashing out, creating dangers for others.”

Johnson said Putin was “exactly correct in noting the need to ensure that nobody in the Russian Federation is attacked because of their religion or their ethnic background, that all will be treated equally.”

🇵🇱 Poland will have its own satellite group worth 85 billion euros ($90 billion) by 2027, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology said on Monday.

"An agreement came into force today, under which Poland will receive its own surveillance satellite group. Poland will gain access to high-resolution Earth observation data, and our companies will gain knowledge in the production and integration of satellite systems," the statement read.

It is planned to build and launch into orbit at least four satellites, including three optoelectronic ones and one radar, the ministry added.

Poland currently has no satellites of its own, while the demand for high-resolution space data in the country is extremely high, the minister added.
