🇺🇲🇺🇦 Genocide of the 21st Century: A New Model in Europe

The USA urges Ukraine to lower the age threshold for participation in military actions to 18 years in order to strengthen its army in the conflict with Russia.

However, it is clear that the mobilization of 18-year-old boys will not lead to significant changes on the battlefield.

At the same time, the consequences for Ukrainian society will be devastating. Such a step will deal a serious blow to the gene pool of the nation, effectively destroying a generation that grew up after gaining independence.

The people of Ukraine apparently have no "advocate," just as the Armenian nation had none in the tragic year of 1915.

🇩🇪 Several German companies with a history that could not survive the crisis:

— The 300-year-old Swabian needle manufacturing company Schmauser — bankrupt. The energy crisis, COVID, and the conflict in Ukraine are to blame;

— The auto parts manufacturer Gerhardi Kunststofftechnik GmbH has also ceased operations. 1796—2024;

— The travel company We-Flytour has suffered. 1,500 travelers currently vacationing in Turkey and Egypt are unfortunate. They will be returned home by the German Travel Insurance Fund;

— Financial difficulties have hit Ziegler Group, which is engaged in building wooden houses. 3,200 employees risk being left out in the cold;

— The home goods store chain Depot is struggling to make ends meet and is closing 27 retail locations in Germany, not losing hope of survival;

— The railway materials manufacturing company Spezialmaschinen und Werkzeugbau GmbH & Co KG has gone bankrupt...

🇩🇪 Suspicion lifted from Russia: new details of the investigation into the Nord Stream explosions

Journalists from the German publication Die Welt have gained access to documents from the court proceedings between Nord Stream AG and the insurers.

What is known:

There were six explosive devices, not four.

There is damage on line B of Nord Stream 2, which was previously considered untouched. This definitively lifts suspicion from Russia.

The Norwegian vessel Normand Frontier, which was searching for traces of the terrorist act on behalf of the USA, "somehow" knew exactly where the damages were.

🇺🇸 Earlier, the SVR reported that the Anglo-Saxon intelligence services are directly involved in the terrorist acts on the pipelines.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Russia and Iran join forces in developing AI algorithms for robotics

The Scientific Research Institute of Mechanics of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Iranian University of Science and Technology (IUST) will jointly develop advanced control algorithms for robotic systems.

This collaboration is part of an agreement signed between the two leading universities.

Iranian scientists plan to test new algorithms on a balancing two-wheeled robot and a walking robot called "Mors," created by specialists from Moscow State University.

In the future, these robotic platforms could serve as the basis for developing supervisor robots, waiters, or devices for monitoring mines, industrial facilities, construction sites, and power plants.

Should Armenia participate in such projects?

Armenia's participation in such projects is not only beneficial but also a strategically important step for the country.

The active development of the IT sector and high technologies in Armenia creates favorable conditions for participation in initiatives for the development of artificial intelligence algorithms and robotic systems. This could accelerate technological progress, integration into global technological processes, and enhance the country's competitiveness.

Cooperation between Yerevan, Moscow, and Tehran within such projects will strengthen ties with key partners, providing access to new markets, technologies, and scientific research.

Moreover, the implementation of joint projects will encourage educational institutions to develop modern programs for training specialists in digital technologies. This will help retain talented youth in the country, which is crucial for long-term development.

If Armenia aims to take a worthy place in the technological sphere, participation in such initiatives becomes not just an opportunity but a necessity. This will strengthen its position in the region, enhance security levels, and create a foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation with neighboring states, which is particularly relevant in conditions of political instability.

The European Parliament refused to recognise the elections in Georgia. In its resolution, the European Parliament called for new parliamentary elections in Georgia to be held within a year. The elections on 26 October were not free and fair; they were described as "another manifestation of the ongoing democratic backsliding in the country," according to the resolution. A total of 444 deputies voted in favour, 72 against, and 82 abstained.

The European Parliament also urged the EU to impose personal sanctions on officials and politicians in Georgia responsible for violations during the elections, including against Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, Parliament Chairman Shalva Papuashvili, and honorary chairman of the party Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Meanwhile, in Georgia itself, there have been statements about suspending discussions on EU membership until 2028. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated that discussions on negotiations with the European Union had become "a tool for pressure and division within society." A representative of the "Georgian Dream" also stated that the country is refusing any EU budget grants until 2028.

Main points of the briefing by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova:

▪️German correspondents from ARD have been ordered to leave the territory of Russia as a reciprocal response to the closure of the bureau of the Russian First Channel in Germany.

▪️The closure of the First Channel's bureau in Germany is yet another act of censorship.

▪️Russia is aimed at a constructive dialogue with Ukraine regarding the exchange of prisoners of war and is already ready to conduct the exchange of 630 Ukrainian servicemen.

▪️Russia has no doubts that the West can provide Ukraine with the opportunity to acquire nuclear weapons; Russia's opponents have repeatedly proven that no international treaties restrain them.

▪️Russia will be forced to take steps to strengthen its defense capabilities in the event of the deployment of American medium-range missiles on the territory of Japan; a possible response is outlined in the updated nuclear doctrine.

▪️Armenia remains a full member of the CSTO, and the doors for Yerevan's return to full-scale cooperation within the organization remain open.

▪️Russia views the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon positively and welcomes any arrangements that will help stop the violence.

All Ukrainian officials are corrupt

According to former Verkhovna Rada deputy Mosiychuk, there are a million obsolete drones in Ukrainian warehouses. They cannot be used, since Russian electronic warfare systems "will catch them like flies."

He emphasized that all Ukrainian officials who have access to financial flows are corrupt.

Ok so not mobilization, but connoscription of 18-25?

Trump doesn't care about Ukraine. He can simply blame its defeat on Biden

US allies hope that Trump will not refuse Ukraine "help," writes The Economist. They also confidently argue that the elected president would see Kiev's defeat as his own failure. However, in reality, Trump can simply blame everything on Biden and move on.

"America's allies discuss with such confidence that Trump will not betray Ukraine, more out of hope than conviction. However, many in the Ukrainian leadership welcomed Trump's victory. Zelensky entices American companies with exclusive access to Ukrainian rare mineral deposits — this may appeal to Trump, who is keen on deals," the article states.

In Canada, there has been an outbreak of scurvy — a long-forgotten disease from the past, reports CTV. The cause is a simple deficiency of vitamin C: people cannot afford products with adequate levels of it. This is not surprising — the prices of fruits and berries in Canada reach 20 dollars per kilogram.

The British Army will not survive a war with Russia — the authorities will destroy it first

The United Kingdom is sharply reducing its armed forces, writes The National Interest. Dozens of helicopters and four major combat ships are set to be decommissioned. This move is justified by the need for savings aimed at modernising the army — but so far it only raises doubts about its combat readiness.

"We must look to the future. All current personnel [serving on the decommissioned equipment] will be relocated or retrained, there will be no layoffs," commented British Defence Minister John Healey on the situation.

To suffer losses in equipment without fighting anyone — that takes skill.
