These track 2 talks might be meant to test the ground for a negotiated solution in Ukraine, which won't come easily and quickly, but they are above all a signal to Zelensky, from the Bidens, to deliver or bow down. 1/

The Kiev regime's suppression of internal political opinions that call for compromise, pragmatism and peace, is deep, to the point that they have created the conditions that render any future compromise to end the war nearly impossible.

US trained soldiers in African countries have been responsible for a recent spate in military coups in their countries, sometimes repeatedly, three times in Mali and three times in Burkina Faso.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit… All military coup leaders in Africa have been trained by the US. They harbour ambitions because very often they are not well paid and well equipped, so they strive to topple the leadership and make gains for themselves.

Not the first time Trudeau wades into US politics and social divisions.
Usually, after a tragedy, a foreign head of state sends condolences to their counterparts, or via their counterparts, to the country in general.

What Trudeau is doing here is adopting social divisions and fractures from the US and projecting them onto the Canadian landscape.

Gen. Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff: "The probability of a Ukrainian military victory, defined as kicking the Russians out of all of Ukraine, to include ... Crimea, the probability of that happening anytime soon is not high, militarily"
news.yahoo.com/us-pressures-u… Winter is coming to a Ukraine without electricity and Russia is preparing a winter offensive along the whole frontline. But I do not trust the Americans, they might want, with this latest call for political solution, a halt to the war, a temporary truce.

The missile that fell in Poland: the view from Moscow. The incident serves as a reminder that NATO serves the vital interests of the US, and the US only.

Yesterday, Nov 15, a prologue to WWIII happened on Twiter.
An anti-missile launched by Ukrainian forces lands in Poland killing two and destroying a tractor.
Immediately, Zelensky, his regime and their parrots in the media started accusing Russia. 1/ Imagine there was no dissent in the West.
Imagine we all believed Zelensky and his parrots that Russia was the culprit.
Today we would be marching toward a real WWIII.
Remember this the next time you read something in the media taken from the Kiev regime talking points. 2/

Outside his fan base among the globalist Liberal elite, no one likes or respects Trudeau.

On the topic of alleged missiles in Poland—Missiles or Grain Elevators? Both Explode, FYI
Two people died as a result of an explosion in Przewodów in the Hrubieszów district, on the border with Ukraine... representatives of the military, went to the site.

There was an explosion at a grain dryer. Among other things, destroyed elements of local infrastructure and a farm tractor, the policeman told the local media."

Final details of the price cap to be imposed by wealthy G7 democracies and Australia are still coming together...
Yellen: The existence of the cap would give India, China, and other major buyers, leverage to push down the price they pay to Moscow.
thedailystar.net/business/news/… "The cap is a concept promoted by the United States since the EU first laid out plans in May for an embargo on Russian oil to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine."

Israeli violations of Lebanon's airspace were a daily occurrence when I was a child. There is even less now, because of Hezbollah.
Before, they used to do it to bomb Palestinian refugee camps and terrorize Lebanese. Now, they do it to bomb Syria while confusing Syrian radars. 1/ Lebanon definitely needs the S-300 missile system. But the state is so much groveling before the feet of the US, all the time, that I do not see this happening anytime soon. 2/
