While Media ...

 ... concentrate on Aleshki. The rest of 404 is getting pulverized, from Kiev to Kremenchug. 

Here is Kremenchug refinery getting decommunized. Launches continue. As Mr. Peskov states clearly--preparation for negotiation does not imply any cease-fire. 

Nobody took any obligations to stop strikes. And strikes continue. Many videos today about Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kremenchug et al. 404 will not have industries, period. Nor will it exist in its present form. 

Palmerston And A Handsome ...

 ... boy from Netherlands. He is Prime Minister. That's Europe. 

Correct, Rick ...

 ... keeping civilians hostage is a well established pattern not just by Nazi criminals from Kiev but their curators from the West. Cowards and imponent pretenders do that, not real warriors.  

Garland and I ...

 ... live, later today at 18-00 PDT)

Couple Of Notes.

 Mr. Ushakov repeats again. 

1. There will be NO Europeans at the table, period. 

2. If they want to get near the table--they can buy tickets. Nobody invited them. 

3. The date hasn't been set up yet. Probably middle of November. 

Meanwhile. Al Jazeera reports. 

This is for all those "experts" from Pentagon and CIA who cannot grasp the nature of the conflict and how it is being prosecuted by Russia. As always, those losers mistook politeness, restraint and humane attitude for weakness. They don't know better. Those who do--they do not get promoted. Kakistocracy at its "best". And yes, they wanted it, Russia obliged. 404 will NOT have real industries. It is being reduced to agrarian and cottage industries rump of a country. In related news, Russia hasn't started anything yet. 

In other related news--message to France and other imbeciles who pretend that they matter. 

SLBM RSM-56 Bulava's data in English internet is a complete BS, naturally, be that range or CEP, but how would they know. Each RSM-56 can carry between 6 to 10 hypersonic maneuvering blocks--good luck to all those NATO anti-missile systems intercepting a single one. 

A Very Good Explanation ...

... no "General Frost", or rather this pathetic mythology by losers such as French and, later, Axis that it is always the frost which gets them, otherwise they would have gotten those Russkies. 

While some of the numbers could be questioned, albeit not by much, the whole video destroys this pseudo-historical narrative (are there ever honest narratives in the West?) of Russians winning because of the Russian winter. Of course, we all know that when it is -30 C outside Russians run out of their homes in swimming shorts and spend daytime swimming in frozen rivers. The fact that Russians suffer from the frostbite same way as Americans, French or Germans is omitted in Western historiography of the events. 

They Shouldn't Have Called.

 LOL)) 

Vladimir Putin lectures Nordic leaders on Russian history. 

FT reports. Obviously The Boss didn't take them seriously, Stubb and this Norwegian dude forgot that Putin is the troll of 80th level. Haven't we seen this before? Ah, yes. 

Putin Nearly Bores Tucker Carlson to Death With Two-Hour History Lesson. 

But at least for Tucker it was good natured.
