For Confused "Intelligent" People...

 ... and also for hysterical and, easily manipulated by trolls' demagoguery, people. The US desperately needed not just diesel but UNSANCTIONED Russian hydrocarbons globally. To lift sanctions the US needed a PR action which would disarm critics. This PR action worked brilliantly. Guess from three times who gets enriched mightily? Right, Russia. Me repeating this point ad nauseam for many years that Russia WILL talk to the US was, naturally, ignored by collection of kindergarten kids who want WW III, famine, deteriorating situation everywhere et al. They, as we all know, are real professionals in geopolitics and diplomacy/s. The fact that the US has been forced to ask Putin for relief is somehow ignored. Poor, poor petulant dears. 

What they also ignore is THIS: 

Ukraine should replace Vladimir Zelensky, US President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday, accusing the Ukrainian leader of refusing peace deals with Russia and worsening global diesel shortages. “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump said. “Zelensky could have settled this war many times. Many, many times. And he chooses not to,” he said. Trump also accused Zelensky of ignoring warnings against attacking Russian refining facilities. “We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia, don’t hit the refineries, because that’s a world problem that’s caused. And he wants to make problems for the world,” Trump said. “And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel.”

What happens next? This:

No, Poland and Europe, you said you don't need Russian gas--you are on your own and if you have money (they will steal Russia's funds--that's 100% guarantee now) to pay for it--you will pay market price. And even moron Burnham admitted when little green bitch rushed to call London that "these were difficult 24 hours for 404". 24 hours for 404? Seriously? Those are for Europe. It will get much worse, much-much worse for Europe. 

In Difficult Times ...

 ... to our brotherly American people, Russia provides diesel)) 

BTW, remember Aivazovsky and his famous 1892 American ships delivering wheat to famine-ridden Russia? "The Ships of Help". 

There you go. 

RCS' Report ...

 ... paints a dire picture. 

Because It Is ...

... so easy. Senator Cramer knows everything about war--he saw movies Patton and  Top Gun: Maverick. He heard not only word counter-offensive, he also knows such words as tank and a gun.

Ukraine's counteroffensive is an integral part of the country's defense. Only retaliatory strikes will force the Kremlin to the negotiating table, states Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer at a briefing with journalists. According to the US politician, counteroffensive actions must be an inseparable part of Ukraine's overall defense strategy. Cramer emphasized that he firmly believed a counteroffensive had to be part of the overall action plan, adding that taking the fight to the adversary’s territory was also part of defense.

I have very bad news for this Senator--404 is over and the only "operations" combined West is capable of is terrorism in its various forms. Meanwhile: 

MOSCOW, October 9 – RIA Novosti. Former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons who deserted from the Armed Forces of Ukraine united in gangs and seized power in the village of Veliky Burluk and adjacent villages in the Kharkiv region, Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti. "It is important to note that in Veliky Burluk and adjacent villages, the "power has changed" a long time ago. In fact, the owners here were former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons, who deserted from the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and united in gangs," the source said. He stressed that these gangs are supervised by former employees of the Kharkiv SBU, who were fired because of their connection with the arrested head of the regional department of the SBU Dudin, as well as with the neo-Nazi battalion "Tornado".

Sure, counter-offensive it is. 

On A Lighter Note.

 LOL)) 

This Is Surprise ...

 ... only for elves and sublime. In reality, the whole system is collapsing. 

MOSCOW, October 8 - RIA Novosti. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is inside Ukraine's corruption schemes, and the purpose of his recent visit to Kyiv was to discuss the further distribution of money, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Merz and Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Germany Katharina Reiche arrived in Kyiv on October 4 on an unannounced visit. As Reuters reported, during the trip, the chancellor promised to allocate a billion euros for military support for Ukraine.

It was money laundering operation from the get go. And if the US can still crawl away from this debacle, humiliated and exposed as a paper tiger, EU cannot--they bet the house on this whole thing. That is why what is happening may come across as a circus. But this circus has its own logic which is unsustainable and unsurvivable historical turning point for Europe and its "elites". 

Here is Paris. 

Now, to those naive who still populate this forum--only ignorant people can draw parallels with 1968 riots which have been inspired by the CIA to remove De Gaulle. This one is different--it is the collapse of France as such. Anybody who believes that this is about idikeishn (yeah, right) I have a bridge to sell you. These are convulsions of a failed country which cannot and will not exist as unified one. Now, indigenous French suddenly "support" Marine Le Pen. I have a very bad news for them--France will die either with a whimper of a political theater, but if bang comes in a form of mass violence, the weapons will appear really fast and these will not be indigenous white French who will have them. 

Yandex data-center was hit in Ryazan Oblast by 404 drones. It caught fire, Yandex started switching to their other data resources. PR stunt. Well, Russia turned lights off for the whole of Kiev. Two can play the game, guess who wins. 

So, now to laughing at Rubio's speech)) 

Garland Nixon and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 40 minutes.
