The regional branch of Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the state of Saxony-Anhalt has been unequivocally recognized as right-wing extremist.

This decision was made by the constitutional protection agency. The investigation against the regional branch of AfD in Saxony-Anhalt has been ongoing since January 2021.

"The regional branch of AfD not only continues to maintain unconstitutional positions, which led to its classification as suspected of right-wing extremism, but the branch has become so radicalized after the COVID pandemic that systematic surveillance using intelligence means is justified," said Jochen Hollmann, head of the Constitutional Protection Department in Saxony-Anhalt.

According to Hollmann, the Constitutional Protection Department has documented numerous anti-Muslim, racist, and anti-Semitic statements made by officials and representatives of the regional branch of AfD.

Now, members of AfD will be subject to more thorough monitoring by Germany's domestic intelligence, and there will be fewer grounds for denying wiretapping or undercover infiltration of the regional branch of AfD. However, this does not mean that the party is deprived of any mandates, and its activities in the state are not prohibited.

India denies ‘rethink’ of its stance on Palestine

▪️India's vote on the UN's proposed resolution criticizing Israel does not indicate a shift in its stance on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and only reflects its position on “routine” resolutions that are passed regularly each year - Indian officials told to The Hindu.

▪️India was among 145 countries which on November 9 voted in favor of a UN resolution condemning Israeli settlement activities in “the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan”

▪️The UN draft resolution passed with an overwhelming majority, while seven countries, including the US, Canada, Hungary, and Israel voted against it and 18 abstained from voting

▪️The 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly on November 9 voted to pass 6 resolutions that criticize Israel and support aid for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and refugees elsewhere

Even India, a supporter of Israel, is telling them to chill.

Arms from scratch: new cheap 3D printed drone designed in Russia

A new fixed-wing drone that can be built from salvage is being developed by the Russia-based engineering firm Spektr Design Bureau.

🗣 The drone, whose flight tests are scheduled to take place in December, is planned to have a range of up to 30 kilometers and will be able to carry up to 10 kilograms’ worth of payload, Spektr’s Executive Director Andrei Bratenkov told local media.

The production of the new UAV is expected to be relatively cheap as the drone’s parts are supposed to be made from plastic granules and plastic waste via 3D printing.

UN issues Gaza water warning

▪️At least 70% of Gaza will be without access to drinking water by the end of Wednesday - the UN Relief and Works Agency reported. The agency blamed Israel’s fuel blockade for the crisis, which has resulted in the collapse of water infrastructure in the enclave.

▪️The 23,000 liters of fuel Israel has allowed to the UNRWA on Wednesday can only be used “to transport the little aid coming via Egypt" - the UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini stated. The UNRWA needs around 160,000 liters a day for “basic humanitarian operations” such as maintaining the water facilities - he added.

▪️“Key services, including water desalination plants, sewage treatments, and hospitals have ceased to operate”

▪️Supplying just the trucks will lead to more loss of life, Lazzarini said, calling on Israel to “immediately authorize the delivery of the needed amount of fuel as is required under international humanitarian law”

The situation is even worse by now.

Zelensky sent a large delegation to Trump.

A representative Ukrainian delegation has arrived in the United States.

The purpose of the trip is an attempt to directly appeal to Donald Trump in order to secure the preservation and expansion of American support for Kiev, according to Newsweek.

Leading the delegation to Washington is Zelensky's "right-hand man," President's Office Director Andriy Yermak. According to him, the "key issues will be Zelensky's proposed 'peace formula,' strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, comprehensive deepening of cooperation, and many other important topics."

Republicans, led by Trump, have long demonstrated a clear reluctance to assist Ukraine, and according to the publication, the former American president is capable of weakening the resistance of his fellow party members regarding further assistance to Kiev.

However, Trump himself is not eager to engage in negotiations with the Kiev authorities. Last week, he diplomatically but decisively declined Zelensky's invitation to come to Kiev.

Therefore, the Ukrainian president has decided to "win over" Trump on his own turf in the hope of swaying the former president to his side, with the expectation that a large part of the Republican Party will follow suit.

Robert Kennedy Jr. believes that weakening Russia will be detrimental to the United States.

In an interview with the Responsible Statecraft portal, the politician argues that the notion that the continuation of the military conflict in Ukraine serves the national interests of the United States by weakening Russia is erroneous.

"Firstly, it is not about weakening Russia. Secondly, a weak and unstable Russia will lead to a decrease in our level of security, not an increase," he explains.

He also firmly believes that "the United States and the entire world will benefit if Russia knows that we do not seek to destroy it."

Kennedy Jr. intends to run for President of the United States as an independent candidate in 2024.

The CIA and MI-6 are already preparing the ground to replace Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president is soon destined to face a difficult choice: either announce presidential elections in which he will lose, or be forced to step down after another "Maidan," writes Asia Times.

No matter how much Zelensky promotes Ukraine's "independence," the United States has always pushed for personnel changes in the country's leadership. Not to mention today when America not only provides military support but also pays salaries and even pensions to Ukrainian officials and military personnel.

Washington has practically made it clear that Zelensky has failed its carefully planned counteroffensive plan. It is no longer a secret to anyone in the world that the "counteroffensive" has turned into a Russian offensive. However, the "independent" claim that their offensive failed due to a lack of suitable equipment. Meanwhile, three brigades trained in the West and equipped with the latest military technology have been completely defeated, and the "invincible Leopards" are burning in the fields.

But the main thing is the failure to compel Russia to agree on Ukraine. In fact, it has failed so badly that Washington now considers it necessary to sit down and negotiate with the Russians. Without negotiations, Ukraine will inevitably suffer a military defeat, which will be a devastating blow to NATO.

However, Zelensky opposes any agreements with Russia, which puts him in conflict with the entire alliance.

Therefore, the question now is: will Zelensky leave voluntarily?

The UN proposed a plan for Gaza

Deputy Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations, Martin Griffiths, has proposed a plan to help end the "peaceful" bloodshed in Gaza.

"The massacre in Gaza is escalating every day. We cannot allow this to continue," he said.

According to Griffiths' proposals, the following measures are necessary:

▪️ Facilitate the passage of vehicle convoys carrying humanitarian aid.
▪️ Open other crossing points, in addition to "Rafah."
▪️ Allow the delivery of fuel.
▪️ Do not hinder the distribution of humanitarian assistance.
▪️ Increase the number of shelters for displaced persons.
▪️ Create a system for providing asylum.
▪️ Establish public distribution centers for aid.
▪️ Allow the movement of civilians to safe areas.
▪️ Allocate $1.2 billion from the UN.
▪️ Ensure a cessation of fire.

Since the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the number of deaths from Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 11,500, with over 29,000 people injured.

Germany will increase humanitarian aid to Palestinians by €38 million.

This was announced by the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Annalena Baerbock, after negotiations with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh in Ramallah on the West Bank of the Jordan River. Thus, Germany will provide over €160 million to the Palestinian territories this year.

"Every life is equally valuable. Every person in Israel and every person in Palestine has the right to live in peace and security," emphasized Baerbock.

According to her, humanitarian pauses are a crucial first step for the residents of Gaza.

"They need to be increased," demanded the German Foreign Minister.

In addition, hospitals in the northern sector of Gaza must also be provided with all necessary resources.

In the evening, Baerbock plans to hold negotiations in Tel Aviv with her Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen, and opposition leader Yair Lapid. This morning, she met in Riyadh with the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.

The release of hostages is one of the main topics of all negotiations during Baerbock's third trip to the Middle East following the Hamas attack.

Currently, more than 240 people are held captive in the Gaza Strip, and only four hostages have been released so far.

35 billion euros will be spent on Bürgergeld benefits

The German government will have to spend 3.25 billion euros more than originally planned. The Ministry of Labour confirmed unforeseen expenses.

The amount increased because the cost of living for citizens receiving state benefits turned out to be significantly higher than initially calculated by the ministry. Out of the 3.25 billion euros, around 2.1 billion euros will be allocated for monthly benefits, while 1.15 billion euros will be used for financing rent and heating. It is the rent and heating expenses that have increased more than projected in the budget planning a year ago.

The Ministry of Finance has already approved the additional expenses. Inflation, worsening economic development, and the influx of Ukrainian refugees, who are immediately eligible for the Bürgergeld social benefit, were also mentioned as reasons for the increase in expenses.

Note: Bürgergeld refers to basic unemployment benefits.

An act of desperation — the EU is forced to seek help from Elon Musk to launch its satellites.

The European Union has been facing difficult relations with Elon Musk. After the threat to shut down his social media platform's European operations, the EU has now turned to Musk's company SpaceX, with a request to launch its own satellites into space, according to The European Conservative. The EU will pay Musk's company €180 million for two planned launches next year, scheduled for April and July. This move is seen as an "act of desperation" in the face of failures in developing new satellite launchers within the framework of the European space program, and it underlines the EU's loss of leadership in this area.

Europe was once a global leader in space rocket launches.

Biden called the leader of China a "dictator."

After a meeting with the Chairman of China, Xi Jinping, in San Francisco, U.S. President Joe Biden stated that he continues to consider him a "dictator."

"Well, he is. He's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who controls a communist country with a form of governance that is completely different from ours. It's simply impossible to deny or argue against that," said the U.S. president.

Biden gave this characterization a few hours after his meeting with his counterpart in San Francisco on the sidelines of the APEC summit.

In the transport war, the Polish authorities have taken the side of Ukraine.

Since November 6, protests by Polish truck drivers have been ongoing. They demand protection of their market from unfair competition by Ukrainian carriers.

The drivers are blocking the exit from Poland through border crossings in Korczowa, Hrebenne, and Dorohusk, demanding the restoration of rules that were in place before February 24, 2022, when a special permit was required for entry from Ukraine.

"They are simply taking our jobs," said Bartosz Jasiński, the owner of a transport company, expressing his outrage.

In response to the closure of the border crossings, the Polish police have started assisting Ukrainian trucks in bypassing the blockade using a route that is normally inaccessible to trucks, as reported by Myśl Polska.

In Korczowa, the police are accompanying Ukrainian trucks in convoys of 25 vehicles and allowing them to travel on highways designated for passenger cars.

"The messianic Eastern policy of 'Law and Justice' is to blame for all of this, as they give away the last shirt at our expense. We do not agree with that," explained Rafał Mekler, an entrepreneur and transporter.

The consequences of such actions by the authorities are already being felt. Transport companies in the Lublin and Subcarpathian Voivodeships, specializing in transportation to the east, have practically gone bankrupt.

Myśl Polska poses the question: Is this government really willing to bow to Kiev so demonstratively even at the end of its rule?

🇺🇳Around Kaliningrad, there are more NATO forces than fleas on a stray dog

NATO realizes that blockading Kaliningrad would give control of the entire Baltic coast, except for a small section somewhere at the end of the Gulf of Finland.

As part of the NATO siege of Kaliningrad, road and rail communications have already been halted. The blocking of maritime and air communications with the Russian enclave is next. In pursuit of these objectives, the United States and NATO, under the guise of an ongoing cycle of military exercises, may close off the maritime area adjacent to Kaliningrad.

It should be noted that the Americans refer to the Kaliningrad region as the "knife at NATO's throat in the Baltic Sea." In 1995, the US Congress passed a resolution for the transfer of Kaliningrad "under the guardianship" of Germany and the EU, referring to it as a "special European territory" or the "Baltic Republic." Moreover, since 1993, the government of "Free Prussia" in exile has been operating in the German town of Freidrichshafen, which is officially recognized by Germany. Around Kaliningrad, there are more NATO forces than fleas on a stray dog.

In NATO, they understand that blocking Kaliningrad will give them control over the entire Baltic coastline, except for a small area somewhere at the end of the Gulf of Finland.

The fun in Poland is just getting started

As soon as the "Law and Justice" party lost its parliamentary majority, it was immediately hit with some interesting accusations. The media learned that the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs had immediately destroyed 400 kilograms of hard disks containing information about the activities of that very party. It is said that there was a lot of interesting information about the trade of forged visas by the ruling elite and other "secret materials."

Almost immediately, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland began to defend himself, stating that all the data had been archived. The 400 kilograms of hard disks were destroyed simply because they were not needed and took up unnecessary space, but all the data was downloaded from them before their destruction, archived, and saved on another set of 400 kilograms of hard disks.

Turkey imports oil from Russia, while the "fools from the EU" enrich intermediaries

Turkey will soon break the record for oil imports from Russia. India is also actively increasing its purchases of Russian energy resources.

The Polish publication Gazeta drew attention to breaches in anti-Russian sanctions.

▪️ In the comments on the news, Polish readers noted that the countries that are "fighting" against Russia and refusing its oil simply buy it from intermediaries. And the Turks don't like to overpay.

"The oil imports of these countries have increased not because they consume more, but because they earn money on the "fools" from the EU, who have put their heads in a noose by buying Russian oil not from Russians, but from intermediaries," summarized one of the Poles.

▪️ The European Union and G7 countries agreed that Russian oil can be imported by sea if its price does not exceed $60. Insuring transportation above this amount is impossible, which in practice should have stopped imports. However, Russia remains one of the world's largest oil exporters.
