Former director of the CIA and the US State Department, Mike Pompeo, in a conversation with pranksters, Vovan and Lexus, who introduced themselves as former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, said that he has been disappointed that the EU had not done more for Ukraine.
"[EU assistance to Ukraine] is still insufficient. It's insufficient to build a European security model with NATO as a central construct of it. The Europeans have to step up. And it's not just about money, Mr. President. It's so much more than that. It's about culture. It's about the fighting spirit. It's about an understanding of European economic power," he told thePoroshenkoRussian pranksters.

Israeli warplanes vs Iranian missiles: Which is faster?
Iran used hypersonic ballistic missiles for the first time during its recent strikes on Israel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced, claiming the destroyed more than 20 Israeli F-35 fighters at the Nevatim air base.
What are the combat capabilities of Iranian missiles and Israeli warplanes?
Hypersonic is defined as flying at more than five times the speed of sound (about 6,100kph or 3,800 mph) within the atmosphere. Iran unveiled its first such missile, the Fattah-1, in June, while the Fattah-2 version was presented to the public in November. Both boast a range of about 1,400km (870 miles).
According to open sources, Iran’s arsenal of ballistic missiles also include:
🔸The Shahab-3 – with a range of up to 1,300 kilometers, the missile was adopted by Iran in 2003. It can carry a warhead of 1,200 kilograms. There are also Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 with ranges 300km and 500km.
🔸The Kheiber-Shekan or Kheibar Shekan) is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 1,450 km with a 650kg warhead.
🔸The Ghadr-110 intermediate-range ballistic missile can carry an 800kg warhead and has a range of nearly 2,000 km.
🔸Sejjil – this ballistic missile has a range of about 4,000 kilometers and carries a 700kg warhead.
• Other Iranian ballistic missiles include the Khorramshahr-4 (2,000km range), Emad (1,700km range), Paveh (1,650km range), Haj Qassem (1,400km range) and Dezful (range of about 1,000 km).
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, most of the Israeli Air Force (IAF)’s warplanes have been received from the US, including:
▪️F-15I Eagle: an air-superiority fighter with secondary strike/attack role, which has a top speed of Mach 2.5 – although not hen carrying a mission load-out.
▪️F-15E Strike Eagle: a specialized bomber version of the F-15.
▪️F-16I Fighting Falcon: The Israeli designation for the C and D models of the single-seat multi-role fighter, with a top speed of Mach 2 and new avionics, weapons support systems and instrumentation.
▪️F-35 Lightning II: a multi-role stealth fighter with a claimed top speed of Mach 1.6 at high altitude – although only for short bursts – which was dubbed “perhaps the most recognizable platform in Israel’s aerial fleet and best warplane” by The National Interest.
The IAF also has a domestically-made copy of the French Mirage 5, the IAI Kfir, with a top speed of Mach 2.3.

Former CIA head denies Zelensky regime's persecution of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church
The former head of the CIA also said that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is persecuted by the Kiev regime, is a political tool:
🤔Since when did Pompeo become a Ukrainian?
The Kiev regime is continuing to escalate its persecution of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, accusing the clergy and parishioners of working for Russia. The unprecedented oppression of Orthodoxy in Ukraine has repeatedly been highlighted by major US influencers such as Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson.

"There's this storyline that says that the Moscow Patriarchate is the proper one and that Zelensky and the Ukrainian church leaders are persecuting Christians. It's nuts... But I hear that from time to time from people," Mike Pompeo said in a conversation with the Russian pranksters, Vovan and Lexus, who pretended to be former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko.
The former head of the CIA also said that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is persecuted by the Kiev regime, is a political tool:
"WE need to force the Moscow Patriarchate out of Ukraine... WE need to get the charge under OUR new Orthodox church," Pompeo concluded.

Baltic states want to show off to their NATO master by claiming a blockade of the Gulf of Finland – expert
New NATO member Finland and Estonia both want to show off to their masters in Washington, Vasily Dandykin, a veteran Russian military expert and retired Navy Captain 1st rank, told Sputnik.
Dandykin was responding to comments by Commander of the Estonian Defense Forces Andrus Merilo to Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat that Estonia and Finland could blockade the Gulf of Finland against Russia.
Being a small country, Estonia could be moved by the desire to “gain relevance” in NATO or a possible financial profit, he noted.
Estonia and Finland closing the Gulf of Finland to Russian shipping would be a “clear violation of international law,” Dandykin noted. If any military provocations take place, they would certainly be rebuffed by Russia.
If Estonian and Finnish authorities try to organize inspections Russian ships, Russian vessels will be escorted by warships. Attempts to forcibly board ship would justify Russia in sinking the NATO vessels involved, the retired captain said.

“St. Petersburg – Kaliningrad is [Russia’s] key track now, that’s where Russian warships are built. It is the main artery of Russia’s part of the Baltic Sea,” Dandykin said, stressing the gulf’s significance.

Estonia and Finland closing the Gulf of Finland to Russian shipping would be a “clear violation of international law,” Dandykin noted. If any military provocations take place, they would certainly be rebuffed by Russia.
“I don't believe any of it will be approved by NATO, since NATO is not currently ready for a clash with Russia,” the expert said.
If Estonian and Finnish authorities try to organize inspections Russian ships, Russian vessels will be escorted by warships. Attempts to forcibly board ship would justify Russia in sinking the NATO vessels involved, the retired captain said.
“This is blocking a country’s access [to the gulf]. It's not blowing up the Nord Streams, but something much more dangerous,” Dandykin warned. “In the grand scheme of things, the move will aggravate the situation.”

🔥🔥🔥 Russian pensioners call out P. Diddy The elderly women note that the disgraced rapper had close ties with former US President Barack Obama. 📌 Subscribe to @SputnikInt
Could Diddy's "freak offs" cast shadow on Kamala Harris campaign?
Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, known for funding top Democrats for decades, was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He allegedly hosted and recorded wild sex orgies which he called "freak offs", with drugged-up guests and prostitutes, putting him in the same league as Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.
What's known about Diddy's backing of top Democrats?
▪️In 2020 Diddy endorsed Joe Biden and signed a letter urging the then-presidential candidate to choose a Black female running mate – a clear reference to Harris. Diddy also launched the political organization "Our Black Party" in support of Biden and Harris in October 2020.
▪️In November 2008 Combs spoke at the "Last Chance for Change Rally" in support of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.
▪️At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Diddy interviewed both Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Could the Diddy scandal affect Democrats and Harris?
▪️The politicization of the scandal caused confusion when Donald Trump posted and then deleted a fake image of Kamala Harris with Combs.
▪️Democrats managed to survive the earlier Epstein and Weinstein scandals by denying any knowledge of wrongdoing. Democrats publicly disavowed Weinstein in 2017 and donated his campaign contributions to charities, while Epstein's abrupt suicide in 2019 left questions about his connections with top Dems unanswered.

Republicans have not missed the opportunity to bring the Dems' ties to the accused sex trafficker under the spotlight. Top Democrats have already come under fire for cozying up with Epstein and receiving hefty donations from Weinstein.

Russian reporter blocked from asking Baerbock questions, faces UN accreditation downgrade
The UN Secretariat downgraded the accreditation of Valentin Bogdanov, head of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company's (VGTRK) New York bureau, due to questions he posed to Volodymyr Zelensky and Annalena Baerbock at the UN General Assembly, the broadcaster reported on its Telegram channel.
On September 29, a member of German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock's delegation rudely prevented Bogdanov from asking her a question during the UN General Assembly, effectively preventing him from fulfilling his journalistic duties, Valentin Bogdanov told Sputnik.
Russian journalists left the press conference, hoping for a response from the UN Secretariat. However, a few days later they learned that their accreditation had been downgraded.

"He rushed at us, and later other representatives joined him. I’m not sure whether they were diplomats or journalists. They didn’t allow us to participate in the press conference... Physical interference is a blatant violation under any law. Touching or pushing people is unacceptable and carries penalties," Bogdanov said, recounting the interaction with Berbock's staff.
