Hungary is the only EU member that refused to participate in the training of the Ukrainian military in Europe
17.10.2022 - 18:00
Hungary will not participate in the training of the Ukrainian military as part of the EU initiative, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said.
“Today it was decided that the EU will start a training mission, that is, representatives of the EU countries will train the military of the Ukrainian army. I would like to state that Hungary did not vote for this initiative. <…> We will not take part in this mission,” the Foreign Minister said.
He explained that Hungary is the only EU country that has taken such a position, since it does not support steps leading to an escalation of the conflict, but, on the contrary, favours the early start of peace negotiations.
On October 17, the Council of the EU, in response to a request from Ukraine, approved the deployment of a training mission for the Ukrainian military. It is noted that it "will provide individual, collective and specialized training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including the territorial defence forces."
The mission can start operating as early as mid-November, it is designed to train up to 15,000 military personnel. More than 106 million euros are allocated for two years of work.
It is assumed that training camps will be deployed in Poland and Germany, the operational headquarters will be located in Brussels.
Russia will remember this 🙏👍💤

Венгрия отказалась поддержать инициативу по подготовке украинских военных в Европе.
Ex-President of the Russian Federation and currently Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitriy Medvedev commented on the statement of the Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs Nachman Shai that Israel should begin to provide military assistance to Ukraine:
"Israel seemed to be going to supply weapons to the Kyiv regime. A very reckless move. It will destroy all interstate relations between our countries.
I'm not talking about the fact that the Bandera geeks were Nazis, and remained so. Just look at the symbolism of their modern henchmen. If they are supplied with weapons, then it is time for Israel to declare Bandera and Shukhevych their heroes..."

China Halts LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) Sales to Foreign Buyers to Ensure Own Supply
➖State-owned importers had been reselling LNG to Europe
➖Sales had offered some relief to energy-starved buyers
China told its state-owned gas importers to stop reselling LNG to energy-starved buyers in Europe and Asia in order to ensure its own supply for the winter heating season.
The National Development and Reform Commission, the nation’s top economic planner, asked PetroChina Co., Sinopec and Cnooc Ltd. to keep winter cargoes for domestic use, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be named as the information isn’t public. While the sales had offered some relief to European buyers, rapidly filling inventories and record-high shipping costs also reduced the appeal of reshipping fuel, they said.

Xi’s coronation portends a hard era for China and the world
On Sunday, 2,296 of the Chinese Communist Party’s 96.7 million members will assemble for a week-long party congress in Beijing, the outcome of which is all but certain: a third consecutive five-year term for Xi Jinping as ruler of 1.4 billion Chinese. In ratifying an extension of Mr. Xi’s time as the political figure who controls more people, with fewer constraints, than any other in the world, the Chinese party would confirm that national aggrandizement and dictatorship, not global cooperation and human rights, are its lodestars.
The first thing to note about this seeming inevitability is that, in a real sense, it should never have been possible.*‼️💤 We’re not referring to the party congress itself: That’s a scheduled, every-five-years occurrence. Rather, the potential extension of Mr. Xi’s power for five years — and, in theory, more — undoes a key measure that the party leaders who succeeded Mao Zedong after his 1976 death took to prevent repetition of his disastrous personality cult. They wrote a two-term limit into the constitution in 1982; Mr. Xi, having been given a first term in 2012, engineered its removal early in his second, in 2018. By then, Mr. Xi had already defied optimistic expectations, Chinese and American, by acting on his deep-seated belief that political and economic openness had undone the Soviet Union and would also destroy Chinese Communism unless the party doubled down on what Lenin called “democratic centralism.”
* Who are you to decide what should be possible in People's Republic of China?

Leaders of democracies increasingly echo Putin in authoritarian tilt
From Italy to Brazil to the United States, political leaders increasingly are echoing Russian President Vladimir Putin and one another by embracing far-right authoritarianism
In a flurry of elections, some of the world’s major democracies have been leaning toward or outright embracing far-right authoritarian leaders, who have echoed one another by promising to crack down on loose morals, open borders and power-hungry elites.
Voters in Italy last month elected a nationalist leader whose party proposes a U-turn from the effects of globalization. In Brazil, right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro injected doubt into the results of his re-election bid by speculating that the vote would be rigged against him in a conspiracy driven by the country’s elites. In the Philippines this year, voters chose the son of their former dictator Ferdinand Marcos as president, electing to stick with strongman politics.
Though hardly a champion of democracy, Russian President Vladimir Putin late last month delivered an address that would sound familiar — and, to many people, attractive — in democracies from the United States to much of Europe. Putin railed against expansive definitions of gender, calling the idea a “perversion,” part of a “complete denial of man [and an] overthrow of faith and traditional values” by “Western elites.”
“The world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations,” which Russia aims to resist, Putin said in a speech that echoed the rhetoric of Russia-friendly right-wing politicians in many democracies.
In the United States, former president Donald Trump has presumptively rejected future election results, and a majority of Republican candidates on the ballot this fall for major state and federal elective offices have joined him in repudiating the outcome of the 2020 presidential election — an epidemic of election denialism in the United States that historians and political scientists define as a core element in any country’s drift toward authoritarian rule.
Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet communism heralded a new era of democratic governance and a huge expansion of global trade, that democratic wave has been replaced in many countries by a tide of authoritarianism.
The street demonstrations and passion for the freedom to travel, trade and speak out that brought down the Soviet empire seemed to promise a vast expansion of people power — and for a time, democracy broke out in most of the former satellite nations of the Eastern Bloc. Similarly, the Arab Spring revolutions that began in 2010 raised the promise — but no enduring reality — of democratization across the Middle East.
Recent years have brought a sharp reaction in many parts of the world, as globalization, political polarization, the rise of social media and a collapse of trust in major institutions have left many people feeling betrayed by their governments, torn apart from their careers and alone in their communities, according to historians, political scientists and sociologists who have studied these shifts in the world’s economies and governments.
...
“The trend we are seeing reflects a disillusionment around the world that the democratic process fails to produce effective, charismatic leaders,” said Nikolas Gvosdev, a professor of national security studies at the U.S. Naval War College. “In country after country, the idea spreads that we need strong leaders who get things done. And it’s not just in politics: We see the valorisation of tech CEOs like Elon Musk as problem solvers who get the job done.”

.. their territorial integrity and went into Chechnya.
It was a fucking massacre, Grozny became one of the most destroyed cities on earth, the countryside was burning, and the wilderness full of corpses, streams of blood - Chechen, Russian Slav, anyone involved in this shit - were streaming at full speed, there were massacres of prisoners, combatants, civilians.
I don't even need to talk about Basayev, his cowardly and unreligious-sanctioned actions of civilian massacres and hostage taking is disgraceful, we were told to leave the old men, the women and the children alone, then what kind of a fucking 'brave Jihadist' goes to a hospital or a school and threatens the very same categories we were told to leave undisturbed by orders of the Prophet PHUB Mohammed? Disgraceful.
Anyway, the first war was a fuck up and there was a peace-accord, so now there was a second round.
Long story short and without going to conspiracy theories, Chechens invaded Dagestan - a region in Russia, Russians repulsed and then went in to restore order, the second Chechen war was more professional and less bloody than the first, and Russian federal authority was re-established, followed by the Kadyrov's taking power, and Chechnya being a country where I would like to think God is pleased with how it's going.
Was it worth it? Personally, I think no, this was not Tsarist Russia where Jihad was a viable option, and like I stated earlier - Chechnya is now run under Shariah, with laws that are pleasing to God, so it is not like the Moscow government was allergic to it since Yeltsin, this was a case of demented, national fervor turned rabid and destructive, and now the Chechens are an important part in the military and political structure of the Russian Federation, and I hope they can keep coexisting like that, there is no reason to fight if Shariah in Chechnya is respected and Muslims have their rights, and they, in turn, while having the ultimate loyalty to God, are still faithful citizens of the Federation.

US poised for slowdown in high-end munitions deliveries to Ukraine
From Fox News
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signaled this week that the U.S. and its Western allies are having trouble keeping pace with Ukraine’s demand for the advanced weaponry it needs to fend off Russia’s invasion. That signal reflects dwindling supplies for Ukraine and fear in the White House of escalation that could lead to war between the U.S. and Russia.
The risk of reduced U.S. stockpiles of high-end munitions has been reported almost since the U.S. began contributing to Ukraine’s defense. Now, nearly eight months since the start of the war, experts interviewed by Fox News Digital say the U.S. is at or very near the end of its capacity to give.
They agreed that Austin’s remarks indicate that the initial rush of high-end munitions like HIMAR rocket launchers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft Stingers and M-777 Howitzers is over.
[T]he Biden administration has more flexibility to give Ukraine more but is choosing not to.

The German authorities have decided not to exchange the hryvnia for the euro anymore. Why? This decision was made due to the fall in demand for the Ukrainian currency. Thus, the hryvnia ceases to be a convertible currency. October 30 has been declared the last day in Germany when Ukrainians will be able to exchange their savings in hryvnias for euros. Soon other EU countries will stop exchanging the hryvnia. If they believed in the future of the Ukrainian economy, they would not take such a step, but now everything is becoming clear.
