🇵🇸🇮🇱 NEW: Israeli forces have killed at least 46 people, including children, and injured over 100 since the ceasefire began through various lethal strikes, mostly by drones and artillery. The IDF escalated today with several air strikes.
IDF soldiers have been observed on multiple occasions operating beyond the 'yellow line' of withdrawal.
Israel has prevented the opening of the Rafah crossing, and the entry of aid trucks, heavy equipment, and fuel has been limited to below what was agreed in the terms of the agreement.
Following the incident earlier today, the IDF's Arabic spokesman has started threatening civilians again, and Israeli ministers have called for a return to war.

🇹🇹🇺🇸 Bodies Wash Ashore in Trinidad After U.S. Strikes
Two mutilated, burned corpses have washed up on the shores of Trinidad, believed to be victims of the U.S. military campaign against “narco-terrorists” from Venezuela.
The bodies appeared days after the first U.S. strike on Sept. 2, which killed 11 people at sea. Both showed signs of explosive trauma, missing limbs, charred skin, suggesting they were caught in mid-ocean blasts from U.S. aircraft.
Washington claims the campaign targets drug traffickers, but regional leaders and legal experts say it increasingly resembles a covert war on Venezuela under the banner of counter-narcotics.
Trinidad’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, a key Trump ally, openly supports the strikes, even as locals say the bodies washing ashore are evidence of “casualties of war.”
So far:
· 6 confirmed U.S. strikes on vessels since September
· At least 37 killed across the Caribbean
· Victims include possible Trinidadian and Colombian nationals
· UN experts warn of extrajudicial killings in international waters
Venezuela’s defense minister has vowed to respond if U.S. attacks are launched from Trinidad’s territory.

This is not a joke! Humiliated Germany is helping Ukraine to restore energy infrastructure. Yes, you heard it right! Helping and paying German taxpayers money to Ukraine, the very country which has blown up German critical infrastructure Nord stream gas pipeline which led to deindustrialisation of German economy!
German Minister of Economy Katarina Reiche has arrived in Kiev. Upon arrival, she stated her intention to determine how Germany can provide Ukraine with more effective support for the country's recovery and ensuring its energy needs.
According to Reiche, Ukraine is entering the fourth winter of full-scale war, and during this time, Russian strikes on energy system facilities are becoming increasingly intense, creating a serious threat to the stable supply of electricity and heat during the cold period.
In addition to restoring energy infrastructure, the agenda of the talks also includes the development of cooperation between Germany and Ukraine in the defense industry.

German economy minister arrives in Kyiv as Ukraine seeks energy support

Bloomberg:
German companies have started trading industrial secrets in exchange for Chinese rare materials.
To keep rare earth supplies flowing, German companies are giving China a front-row seat to their industrial blueprints: diagrams, supply chain layouts, customer lists, and even 3-year production forecasts.
All this, just to get a 6-month license for rare earth supplies.
The German government reportedly has no clue what’s being handed over and no real plan to stop it.
Officials literally had to ask German firms what China was collecting and most didn’t even respond.
Smaller manufacturers are already shutting down. Big firms are playing along to survive.
The data covers sectors such as defence contractors, car part suppliers, and precision toolmakers.

German Firms Hand Over Secrets That China Could Use for Leverage
As German firms wrestle with new Chinese controls on rare earths, they are handing Beijing sensitive supply chain information it could potentially use to squeeze manufacturers or shut down production lines in Europe’s biggest economy.
Kyrgyzstan has built the largest gold storage facility in the country and will now keep its reserves at home rather than in foreign banks, said the president of the republic, Sadyr Japarov.

US Trump's war in Ukraine via its proxy EU & NATO:
I don’t like seeing the death of 6, 7, 8 thousand young people, mostly youth, mostly soldiers. It costs us nothing. Actually, we make money, but I don’t even want to talk about making money. In this case, I don’t care about making money.
But, you know, we send NATO weapons. They buy it at full price. They buy weapons. They give it to anyone. But I think they most likely pass it on to Ukraine.

🇺🇸Busting the Myth of the Trump Administration's "Break" from Neo-Con Policy and the Pursuit of US Primacy Abroad
Here are clips from the hearing for Austin Dahmer's nomination as Assistant Sec. of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities.
During his testimony he confirms several facts including:
1. The US never "paused" aid to Ukraine;
2. The US is NOT withdrawing from Europe, simply forcing Europe to spend more on US objectives in the region through "burden sharing" or "division of labor;"
3. The US is not "retreating" to the Western hemisphere and abandoning its containment of China - containing China remains Washington/Wall Street's TOP priority;
This is reality, regardless of what "Politico" or lying politicians and naive/delusional/dishonest "analysts" say - continuity of agenda drives US policy, the US will never accept multipolarism unless multipolarism forces it to do so.

🇺🇦 Ukrainians are once again cutting videos to play the victim — this time from an interview with a Russian sapper who explained how they (Ukrainians) mined books and toys, among other things.
As always, lying is what they do best, and they twisted the footage to fit their scum narrative.
We, of course, found the original video — and you can watch it uncut.

EU stealing Russian assets.
European Commissioner Dombrovskis on the EU dilemma — to rob Russia or its own taxpayers:
It should be noted that given the sustainability problems and financial difficulties faced by Ukraine, support should have clear grant characteristics.
One alternative would be EU financing a reparations loan to Ukraine through borrowing rather than using cash balances related to frozen Russian assets. However, in this case, member states would have to cover the interest expenses on this loan until it is repaid to maintain the format of grant support to Ukraine.
There are several options for how such borrowing could be structured.
Another option is to provide Ukraine with a comparable amount of support in the form of grants, which would entail significant direct costs for member states in the short term.
