Is #ColourRevolution coming to Azerbaijan?

Head of the Press Service Department of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

We strongly condemn and reject the biased statement of 11 December 2024 by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, which distorts the current situation regarding the protection of human rights and freedoms in our country, and aims to interfere in the legal proceedings in Azerbaijan

When asked about Israel’s hundreds of airstrikes against Syria to destroy all of the military capabilities of Syria, HTS Spokesperson Obeida Arnaout couldn’t even muster the courage to condemn Israel’s attacks

Al Qaeda in Syria is clearly nothing more than a proxy of Washington and Israel

Russia, India Ink Record $13 Billion Oil Deal - the biggest bilateral energy agreement between the two nations.

Russia's Rosneft has signed a deal with India's Reliance Industries to supply nearly 500,000 barrels of crude oil daily, marking the biggest bilateral energy agreement between the two nations. Valued at roughly $13 billion annually, this contract showcases the strengthening bond between Russia and India in the energy sector, even as sanctions from the West continue.

This agreement comes at a time when India has emerged as the primary buyer of Russian oil, capitalizing on the price advantage created by EU sanctions. Russian crude now forms over a third of India's oil imports, offering a discount of $3 to $4 per barrel compared to other grades.

The deal will see Rosneft delivering 20-21 Aframax-sized cargoes of various crude types along with three fuel oil cargoes every month to Reliance's refining hub in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The supply will kick off in January and is set for a 10-year term, with a possibility of extending another decade. Pricing adjustments will occur annually based on market trends.

Reliance has maintained its stance on global sourcing, with a spokesperson noting, "We engage with international suppliers, including from Russia, based on market conditions."

This deal not only highlights the strategic partnership between Russia and India but also reflects the broader dynamics within BRICS, where countries are increasingly looking to each other for economic stability and growth in a volatile global landscape.

#Rutte tells European members of NATO to divert social spending to militaries:

"I know that spending more on defence means spending less on other priorities. But it's just a little bit less. On average, European countries easily spend up to a quarter of their international income on pensions, healthcare and social security systems. We need only a fraction of that money to strengthen our defence and preserve our way of life."

Has anyone asked taxpayers if they're ready to sacrifice their pensions, healthcare and social security income for #NATO war against #Russia?!

I've asked GabAI a question

The Russia obsessed European Union is crippling it's citizens with its anti Russian Sanctions, burdening them with huge energy bills while EU politicians are essentially immune with huge salaries. pensions and allowances.

It's going to get a lot harder for ordinary EU citizens and taxpayers as the EU plans to end Russian fuel ties for good. The European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jorgensen (huge salary and pension) has told US media

EU countries had to pay $204 billion extra on natural gas over the past 20 months after cutting themselves off from cheap Russian pipeline gas.

Household electricity prices increased in ten EU countries in the first half of 2024, compared with the first half of last year. The highest price tags were registered in Germany, Ireland, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.

Last year saw average household electricity prices in 22 EU members increase to $30.3 per 100kWh – up from $26.5 per 100kWh for the same period in 2022. “These prices were the highest recorded by Eurostat,” per the statistical agency.

Europe’s benchmark natural gas prices surged last month to the highest since November 2023, increasing to $47.83 per MWh.

In 2023, Latvia and Romania saw the highest jumps in gas prices, jumping 139% and 134%, respectively. In total, price tags increased in 20 EU members at the time.

The average British household spent $1,202 on wholesale gas over the past 12 months - $1011 - more than in a typical year.

The number of Europeans “unable to keep their homes adequately warm” has surged over the past several years, standing at 6.9%, 9.3% and 10.6% in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. All the while, hundreds of millions of Euros in hard-pressed EU taxpayers cash is flushed into the most corrupt dictatorship in modern European history.

All of this financial and energy data is EU data. Slava Insanity.

Western "democracy" and the so-called "US and European values" are dead, replaced by authoritarianism, dictatorship and censorship...

🎯💯 @ArmchairW (X):

Let's talk about democratic collapse in the West.

I've been highlighting for some time now that there are no elections in Ukraine and that Zelensky is a dictator, but it turned out that he was actually the canary in the coal mine of liberal democracy.⬇️

Of course the warning signs considerably predated Zelensky - the "fortified" US election of 2020, Justin Trudeau's seeming immunity from the consequences of his government's disastrous policies, the rise of the unaccountable bureaucracy of the European Union - but Zelensky's ugly and overt power grab in Ukraine has turned out to be only the first geopolitical domino to fall as one after another supposedly free and liberal Western democracies went mask-off as authoritarian Regime satrapies over the course of the last year.

First a primer on how the Western Regime actually works - the "Regime," such as it is, is not a unified body directly controlling the Western World from the shadows. It is a mechanism of consensus-forcing among the transatlantic political elite that dictates the boundaries of acceptable political discourse - the "Overton Window" - in official Western policymaking. Control the Overton Window, and impose severe consequences for operating outside of it, and you control actual government policy no matter what party holds formal power. Ergo the extreme, bipartisan reaction to Trump, whose policies are the exact kind of stuff boomers bored a generation of millennial children with over dinner tables but yet which seem to be absolute anathema to the Atlanticist political class.

Let's look at some recent events.

Georgia - Reasonably popular pro-European government passes a watered-down version of the US Foreign Agents Registration Act and wins reelection on a platform of, uh, (checks notes) not going to war with the Russian Federation. Sanctions descend, NATO sponsors a color revolution attempt, and the President - who, as a former French diplomat, is so compromised she's not even committing treason - openly attempted to incite a coup d'etat and is now trying to squat in her office after her term expires.

Moldova - Unpopular local President, who is a pro-Regime personality, openly rigs an election to stay in power by ensuring only favored groups of Moldovan expatriates would be able to cast absentee ballots.

Romania - Mildly anti-NATO Presidential candidate does well in the first round of balloting. The Supreme Court cancels the elections on laughable accusations of Russian interference, with the pro-NATO incumbent set to remain squatting in office until the elections can be sufficiently rigged to ensure a Regime toady is returned.

South Korea - Democratically embattled but, again, pro-Western President imposes martial law and orders troops onto the streets of Seoul in a failed self-coup attempt. He somehow remains squatting in office despite trying to set himself up as dictator.

UK - After the Tories earned the public's hatred with a long series of moronic Regime-approved policies, Labour ousted them in a landslide - and proceeded to continue all of those policies, in many cases against explicit electoral promises.

France - Macron is forming yet another unworkable minority government in Parliament out of his own party because he absolutely cannot abide by the political opposition whom the citizens of France actually filled the parliament with as a counterweight to him.

US - The lame duck Biden Administration is doing its absolute utmost to use the long American Presidential transition period, three and a half months, to poison the well for Trump. Some of these actions have come with a nonzero risk of starting a nuclear war.

So the real question I have here, and which I pose to you, dear readers, is this: What the hell exactly is an ostensible democracy where, very explicitly and very openly, you cannot change the policy of the government by voting - and God help you if you try?
