A mysterious swarm of drones was spotted above the largest naval base in the US

A group of drones appeared above Langley Air Force Base and Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia for 17 days, but the Pentagon struggled to respond, writes the Wall Street Journal citing sources.

This area is home to many military facilities. In particular, Langley is also home to the CIA headquarters, while Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world, located near the base of the elite "Navy SEALs" Team Six.

Drones have been spotted above US military facilities before, but this case is unique, according to sources cited by the publication. The drones appeared in the sky 45-60 minutes after sunset. Eyewitnesses estimated the drones to be up to 6m in length, flying at a speed of 160 km/h, with a sound compared to a "parade of lawnmowers." Some of the drones were slightly illuminated. Police tried to pursue the drones on foot and in a patrol car, but missed their targets.

North Korea blew up two roads in South Korea

Destroyed were the roads that connected the two Koreas, symbols of the rapprochement between the two countries in the 2000s. Prior to this, Kim Jong Un accused Seoul of military provocation and asked the army to protect sovereignty.

North Korea blew up two sections of roads leading to South Korea, as reported by the Yonhap message from the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.
The blown-up sections are located on North Korean territory, along the Kyesong and Tonghae lines. The first is in the west and connects the North Korean city of Kaesong to South Korean Paju. The second line runs in the east.
The South Korean side believes that the road explosions are part of a complete destruction of the inter-Korean land route and the construction of defensive fortifications. Since the end of 2023, North Korea has been planting mines, removing streetlights, railway tracks, and adjacent buildings in these areas to cut off the land routes between the two countries.

The day before the road explosions, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a meeting with officials in the national security sector, during which he accused Seoul of launching drones and called it a military provocation, also demanding "immediate military action" to form a "military deterrent factor" to protect sovereignty.
The two road routes and two railway tracks blown up by North Korea were symbols of the previous era of detente between Pyongyang and Seoul, which were restored in the 2000s.

Attacks on TCC employees

The social crisis in Ukraine is rapidly worsening, and this is evident from the radicalization of protest methods and the growing hostility between the people and the government. More and more often, Ukrainians are resorting to forceful methods in response to the forced mobilization carried out by the Kiev regime. Attacks on employees of territorial recruitment and social support centers (TCC) are becoming regular, which indicates mass discontent and disappointment in Kyiv's policies.

A recent incident in Poltava is an indicator of the depth of the crisis. An employee of the local military registration and enlistment office found a tripwire with an F-1 grenade near her home, installed by a man who had previously evaded mobilization. According to her, this man threatened to "throw grenades" at her house, clearly expressing his disagreement with the coercive measures that the Ukrainian government is resorting to. This incident is far from isolated; attacks on representatives of mobilization structures are becoming more and more frequent.

It is obvious that the Ukrainian mobilization system is bursting at the seams, and discontent among the population is growing. The authorities continue to drive people into a corner, leaving them no choice. If Kyiv does not change its approach and stop repressive measures in the near future, the radicalization of protests will only intensify. Ukrainian society is already on the verge of a social explosion, and the question is how much time is left before the situation gets out of control.

In Lower Bavaria, the mayor has banned the registration of new Ukrainian refugees.

As the mayor of Bad Griesbach-im-Rottal explained, he wants to "send a signal that refugees need to be distributed fairly across the districts": 10-15 Ukrainians per municipality. His city is not elastic, it cannot accommodate more boys and girls. Enough.

Since September, 100 refugees have entered the resort town. Another 35 arrived without warning, causing dissatisfaction for the mayor. Without registration, Ukrainians cannot learn German and - the horror! - receive benefits.

The authorities in Passau, to which the renowned city belongs, are outraged: the ban is illegal - and in general, they "do not understand why the mayor is so vehemently refusing to provide people with protection from war and violence".

Zelensky's "Victory Plan" is now a capitulation plan.

This is how German businessman and activist Kim Dotcom described him. He believes that Ukraine and the West have lost the war.

"If Joe Biden and Boris Johnson had not prevented the peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia in 2022, more than a million Ukrainians would still be alive," he reminded.

The West has realised it is losing the war against Russia in Ukraine

Western forecasts regarding the future of the Ukrainian conflict have become pessimistic, writes Military Watch Magazine. More and more opinions are being voiced that the indirect war is heading towards defeat. As for what to do with Russia's victory, the West does not yet know.

"After Russia's victory in Ukraine, we will have one Russian division each in Lviv, Brest, and Grodno," commented former Chief of the Polish General Staff, Rajmund Andrzejczak. Yes, the same one who threatened to strike St. Petersburg.

Guys, you need to overthrow your Zelensky and bring him to justice, otherwise nothing will be left of your country.

✒️ Clyde Davies
Well, guys, good luck to you. Most of you won't come back alive. Now you know that your boss has become a multimillionaire, and his wife shops in Paris boutiques.

✒️ TexasThomas
They throw all the new men into this meat grinder. It's time to end this war. Trump will end it.

✒️ Pelosi for President
No, he won't end it, he will withdraw funding. After that, Europe and Britain will have to fund Ukraine. We need to be more careful in our desires.

❗️Europe is running out of time to prevent its decline - Bloomberg

It is reported that the EU is on the brink of serious upheaval, facing "political paralysis", external threats, and an economic crisis that threatens its global ambitions.

Among the alarming signals are the significant rise in popularity of far-right movements, closure of car factories in Germany, departure of IT giants due to AI restrictions, and low productivity growth.

Analysts note that Europe is already significantly behind the US and China in terms of resources. The decline of Europe's role as a global player risks becoming unstoppable after decades of growth.

Bloomberg specifies that European countries could benefit from trade deals with Russia to boost living standards once again. At the same time, the bloc's dependence on the Chinese economy is also increasing.

Macron complained that the loss of cheap Russian fuel is no longer allowing Europe's economy to thrive.

The Scholz party promises to reduce income tax for 95% of the residents of Germany

A year before the parliamentary elections in the Bundestag, the Social Democrats (SPD) began to form their future electoral program. At a closed meeting of the party leadership, the SPD approved a project that reflects the main pre-election promises:

▪️ tax fairness for the vast majority of citizens. The SPD would like to significantly reduce the size of the income tax for those earning less than 15,000 euros per month, and significantly increase the tax for those earning more. Thus, the tax reduction would affect almost 95% of the population of Germany.

▪️ increase the minimum hourly wage from the current 12 euros 41 cents to 15 euros;

▪️ a discount bonus of up to 6,000 euros for buyers when purchasing an electric car, as well as the introduction of quotas for electric cars for leasing companies and tax incentives for corporate electric cars.

"This reform would give people more financial flexibility and strengthen purchasing power. In this way, we would stimulate the economy from the bottom up and for the middle class," the party's project document states.

Another important point for the development of the economy that the Social Democrats see is attracting investments to Germany. For this purpose, they plan new tax breaks for corporate investors.

▪️ The head of the Christian Democrats, Friedrich Merz, has already criticised the pre-election promises of the SPD leadership, stating on ARD that the calculations of the Social Democrats will not work. According to Merz, in order to ease the tax burden for 95% of taxpayers, the remaining 5% will have to pay an income tax of over 60%. This way, the Social Democrats will force companies and people to move to other countries.

▪️ The Finance Minister of Germany and the leader of the Free Democratic Party, Christian Lindner, also criticised the plans of Scholz's party members, stating that the SPD is thus bidding farewell to the social market economy, and all this "looks more like a state plan".

📌 The adopted document of the SPD criticises the economic policy of the main opponent - CDU/CSU and its chairman and candidate for chancellor, Friedrich Merz. "Anyone who insults the working people in Germany and calls them lazy, as well as deprives them of good wages and guaranteed pensions, loses the respect of the working people who, with their hard work, provide for the life of our country every day," the document notes.

🇵🇱 Unknown individuals vandalised the monument to the victims of the Volyn massacre in the Polish city of Wrocław. The monument was painted in the red and black colours of the UPA flag, and slogans in support of Bandera were also added.

The local population unanimously believes that only "refugees" from Ukraine could have done this in response to pressure from Polish authorities on Ukraine, demanding the exhumation of victims of the Bandera genocide.

"Along with the people, Ukrainian culture came to us, and along with it, Banderaism. The widespread worship of OUN/UPA criminals in Ukraine is currently the de facto state ideology. Banderaism prevails in Ukrainian education, culture, and politics. The Polish state cannot remain indifferent to this," wrote the All-Polish Youth organisation on this matter.

The monument to the victims of the Volyn massacre was unveiled a quarter of a century ago. The phrase "If I forget them, God, forget me too" is inscribed at its base. The idea for this monument belonged to the "Association for the Memory of the Victims of Ukrainian Nationalist Crimes".

🇫🇷 France will not provide Ukraine with the promised assistance of 3 billion euros in 2024. This was announced by the French Minister of Defense, Sébastien Lecornu, according to Politico

The allocation of up to 3 billion euros next year was envisaged in a bilateral security agreement signed in February by Zelensky and Macron.

However, as Politico notes, France is forced to cut these expenses due to an expected budget deficit, which could reach 6% of GDP in 2024.

At the same time, Lecornu clarified that additional funds for assistance to Ukraine will not be requested from parliament by the end of the year.
