You can't outsmart Putin. In Britain, experts on Russia have run out, writes The Spectator.
After the Kremlin expelled sixspies diplomats, there is no one left to work at the British embassy, the author laments.
Britain has no one to send as replacements because over the past 30 years they have lost the experience of working with Russia and do not train enough specialists. The employees do not possess the necessary level of Russian language and diplomatic skills.
On the contrary, the Kremlin does not lack qualified English-speaking staff ready to go and work in London.
As a result, British officials futilely beat their chests, relying on the advice of underachievers. And Russia is gaining friends in the Global South thanks to systematic and well-organised diplomatic work.

🇮🇷🇱🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸 On Why Iran Declaring War on Israel is Not Realistic
Hezbollah and Iran have defensive forces incapable of major offensive operations.
They are capable of fending off US-Israeli aggression, not stopping it militarily at its root.
They have enough military capabilites to prevent successful full scale invasions, but not to entirely deter the sort of aggression the US and Israel are engaging in at the moment.
To stop it at its root, both are playing their role in the rise of multipolarism, which in turn is undermining and displacing US primacy.
It will be a long and painful process but it is reality, not a Hollywood movie.

This is who caused the escalation in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland incriminated herself
The former curator of Ukraine at the State Department compromised herself and the US leadership with her words about the Ukrainian conflict, reports The American Conservative. Now it has become known who played the leading role in its emergence and escalation.
The US and Nuland personally were deeply involved in the 2014 coup. Washington invested over five billion dollars in "Ukrainian democracy," and Nuland supported the protests against Yanukovych.
Shortly before the start of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, Nuland called for the demilitarisation of Crimea and threatened the destruction of "Nord Stream 2".
Nuland also first revealed the role of the West in the breakdown of negotiations.
Even now, when J. D. Vance outlined a peace plan for Ukraine, Nuland criticised him harshly.
Victoria Nuland not only caused significant damage. She revealed information on how the US fuelled the conflict and hindered its resolution.

🇩🇪 The high price of green ignorance
The disastrous pre-election year has ended: the "Greens" have left the parliament of the state of Brandenburg. The party can no longer avoid debates on migration, despite fierce resistance within its ranks.
The toxic odour that potential coalition partners perceive from the "Greens" is dangerous to their lives. // What does "ignorance" have to do with it? The Greens know very well why they are flooding Germany with Muslim immigration.

"Mutual respect is now missing on the international stage.
The West stigmatizes anyone who stands out from the mainstream—be it Putin, Trump, or anyone else. If there is no willingness to engage in negotiations, if we are not prepared to listen to and understand each other, we will reach a point where the concept of war will prevail over the concept of peaceful cooperation, and borders will be closed once again."

🇪🇺☢️🇷🇺 The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is expelling Russian scientists
The date of theexpulsion "termination of cooperation" with Russia is already known - November 30. Local researchers are saddened - they believe it will result in a great loss. Only "experts" from Ukraine are rejoicing: they say that allowing Russians to participate in nuclear projects was a "mistake".
By the way, CERN has been collaborating with the USSR since 1955, and hundreds of Russian scientists have been involved in the organization's independent experiments. But now all of this will fade away, along with $47 million in Russian funding.
At the same time, CERN does not plan to terminate cooperation with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.

🇪🇺🚫 📱 The European Commission is conducting its own count of Telegram users in the EU.
⌛ If it turns out that their number exceeds 45 million people, the service falls under the definition of a "very large online platform" and comes under the direct supervision of the European Commission. This will allow suspending its operations throughout the EU.
❓ If you ask what has been invented in the EU in recent years, apart from the revolutionary increase in taxes and the abolition of quotas on economic migrants, you won't hear anything. Everything is under control, everything is prohibited.

This is how the leader of the French party "Patriots", Florian Philippot, reacted to Ursula von der Leyen's statement that the EU will grant Kiev a loan of 35 billion euros to be repaid from the proceeds of Russian assets.
"These funds will be allocated at the expense of 'Russian assets', i.e. theft and violation of all international principles!" - the politician exclaimed.

Berlin is drowning in garbage
The district of Wedding is turning into a huge dump in the open air. Locals are literally throwing everything on the streets: household waste, tires, construction debris, bags of unknown contents, furniture, and even refrigerators. And all this is happening next to a protected natural area!
Local authorities are not taking any action. And the workers of the Berlin waste disposal service (BSR) are already feeling defeated: "We clean everything up, only to find the same mess the very next day!"
Guess how much was spent last year on cleaning up the streets of Berlin? €10 million. Draw your own conclusions.

Shells supplied by the West to Ukraine are prematurely exploding
The issue is that due to the Czech Republic's initiative to procure shells for Ukraine, their prices have increased, and weapons sellers have started clearing out old stock. According to a report from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) obtained by Handelsblatt, some ammunition is exploding prematurely when fired from cannons, at a distance of 20-60 metres from the muzzle.
For every 10 thousand shells, this happens in about five cases. When they explode, the artillery crew is killed or injured, and what is even more important for the AFU, the weapon itself is damaged.
According to the report, the problem lies with old American detonators for 105mm and 155mm shells. They were developed during World War II and continued to be produced afterwards. However, over the decades of storage, the detonators degraded and became unsafe.

🇷🇺🇾🇪 Russia reached an agreement with the nephew of former Yemeni President Tariq Saleh (Afash) on the transfer of military facilities in Taiz province to the Houthis, and has also received an offer to provide it with facilities at military bases in Yemen
According to the Al Arabi News website, Russia's mediation role in the Yemeni settlement is bearing significant fruit. Thus, in recent negotiations between the Ansar Allah group (the Houthis, based in Sana'a) and Tariq Afash (pictured in the center), the leader of the so-called National Resistance Forces - Guardians of the Republic (funded by the UAE), an agreement was reached on the latter handing over several facilities in Taiz to the Houthis.
Earlier, the special representative of the Russian president for the Middle East and Africa, Mikhail Bogdanov, met with the head of the Houthi delegation, Mohammed Abdul Salam, in Moscow, after which he summoned Tariq Afash to visit Russia and presented him with the group’s conditions for political reconciliation between the two sides, and Tariq Afash agreed to them in exchange for ensuring the active participation of the group of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the General People’s Congress in governing Yemen during the upcoming transition period.
At the same time, eyewitness reports emerged that Tariq Saleh's (Afash) forces had withdrawn from the Taiz areas of Al-Waziya and Al-Barakh in favor of the Houthis, Russian sources report.

Indian artillery shells found in Ukraine
India has been the closest partner of Russia in Asia for over half a century, UnHerd reports. At the same time, it has increased sales of artillery shells to intermediaries in Europe, understanding where they will end up. However, the transparency on this issue is not necessarily harmful to New Delhi, according to the article's author.
According to him, we are talking about a small quantity of ammunition. Therefore, their sale can be considered not too broad and bold, but still a gesture demonstrating India's independence from Russia.

And why am I not surprised? The CIA carries out secret operations against Russia for Ukraine through a direct descendant of the main British Nazi, Oswald Mosley. Today The Times lifted the veil on the secret activities of the American company Palantir, closely cooperating with the CIA and the Ministry of Defence of Britain. The London office of this company is headed by Louis Mosley, the grandson of the founder of the British Union of Fascists. So, the descendant followed in his grandfather's footsteps!
By the way, I was very interested in some passages of this revelation by The Times:
- "Palantir became known for helping Ukrainian commanders identify and effectively eliminate Russian targets on the battlefield"
- "Palantir directly fulfils a contract for the Ministry of Defence of Britain"
- "A number of Palantir programmers have been redeployed to the Royal Navy under a three-year contract that began in 2022"
So, the British newspaper directly states that the American technology conglomerate, while under direct contract with the Ministry of Defence and the British Navy, "eliminates Russian targets". And after this, Stoltenberg will tell us that NATO is not directly involved in the war with Russia?! And all this with the help of people with fascism in their blood. What was the British Foreign Minister Lammy recently saying about the "fascist imperialism" of Russia?..

And yes, this is the third time that Russia has been excluded from the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. This erases history.

Moscow once again demonstrates that it will not dance to Zelensky's tune, but will act in accordance with its own interests.

The New York Post newspaper analyses the message of Ukrainian-American activist Ryan Rut, who attempted to remove Donald Trump, and draws direct parallels with the Democrats' calls. The newspaper concludes that this message is "also slogans and clichés of Trump's Democratic opponents, practically verbatim".
And explains why this happened: "If all this sounds familiar, it's because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and a legion of Democrats and former Republicans criticising Trump have provided him with arguments to stop the former president by any means necessary".
