🇷🇺🇺🇸 En Moscú, se proyectó la frase en el edificio de la Embajada de Estados Unidos:

« Sabes quién va a ganar
No importa para quién se coloque su papeleta electoral

Sabes quién ganará, no importa por quién sea tu voto "

Un juego de palabras cuyo significado es que, en cualquier caso, sólo ganará Putin

🇪🇺🛤 Ukraine to be integrated into logistics railway corridor with Western Europe

🇪🇸The Spanish state-owned company ADIF is developing a project (worth 15 billion euros ) together with JSC Ukrzaliznytsia to create an automatic track gauge change system for 1520 mm (Soviet) / 1435 mm (European) / 1668 mm (Spanish). According to the plan, this will connect Ukraine to the Mediterranean corridor of the TEN-T transport network , which runs through six EU countries 🇪🇺 (🇪🇸Spain, 🇫🇷France, 🇮🇹Italy,🇸🇮 Slovenia,🇭🇷 Croatia and 🇭🇺Hungary).

The initiative is scheduled to begin implementation in 2025, but full development and certification will last until 2027.

At the same time , the preparation of the infrastructure for Ukraine's accession to this route is already in full swing. With the assistance of the EU, the construction of the European gauge on the " Chop - Uzhgorod " section should be completed by the end of 2024, which will connect with 🇭🇺Hungary through the border station of Záhony. In the future, the European gauge will extend from Uzhgorod to Lvov.

In addition, it is planned to develop a network of multimodal cargo terminals along the Mediterranean Corridor, as well as to increase the communication networks of the corridor’s sea ports with the internal routes of the countries.

Such “generous” investments indicate the continuing economic feasibility of Western investments in Ukraine, i.e., taking into account all the risks , the cost of the resource base exceeds the funds spent.

⭐️ By destroying all economic activity in Ukraine, Russia is bringing closer the defeat of the enraged NATO proxy state⚡️ .

Moreover, no one needs to be told that these logistics routes are being developed against the backdrop of military preparations by American satellites in Europe. And the Atlantic-Lvov corridor will allow for increased efficiency in the transfer of military contingents.

I was on Army duty a few days ago at Ft Sill (I’m the commander of a Drill Sergeant battalion) where I attended a Basic Combat Training graduation. Several hundred new soldiers stood tall, proudly saluting the flag, and were finally reunited with family and friends. These young men and women are the ones who will pay the price, potentially with their lives, if people like Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris are allowed to be in power. This is one of the many reasons I’m supporting President Trump’s return to the White House—to end wars, not start them.

Silicon Valley Shocked: Vietnam’s Sovereignty Isn’t for Sale

US tech giants are wringing their hands as Vietnam dares to assert digital sovereignty with new laws aimed at regulating data centers and social media. It’s almost adorable watching Silicon Valley scramble, horrified that a Global Majority nation might want to safeguard its citizens’ data from the prying eyes of Big Tech and its cozy ties with Western intelligence.

Remember, this is the same Silicon Valley that has cheerfully turned over user data to the NSA and other alphabet agencies for years, all while preaching “freedom of information” to the rest of the world. Now, Vietnam’s decision to set boundaries has them acting as if it’s the end of the open internet, as if Hanoi has a duty to keep the floodgates open for their surveillance machines.

Vietnam’s move is hardly an isolated act. This is a continuation of a Southeast Asian legacy of resistance to foreign control, from repelling French colonialists to standing up to bloody U.S. intervention. In this digital age, that same spirit of sovereignty takes form in firewalls and data localization. The message is clear: No, Silicon Valley’s desires don’t define what “freedom” means for the rest of the world.

Of course, the usual Western mockingbird-media chorus is here to spin this as a “threat to free expression.” But let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t about freedom. It’s about control, the kind Silicon Valley has wielded over nations’ data with a sense of entitlement for too long. Vietnam’s not isolating itself; it’s reminding Big Tech that the era of unfettered access to foreign data is over.

And as the boardrooms in Palo Alto mutter about “compliance issues” and bemoan this affront to their business models, one can’t help but savor the irony. The empire of data is used to dictating terms, not having them dictated. But maybe the real shock for Silicon Valley isn’t Vietnam’s audacity; it’s the dawning realization that the Global Majority is no longer playing by their rules.

Endgame? The age of Big Tech’s global playground may be ending. Vietnam is just a continued trend of defiance, taking heart from Russia, China, Iran et. Al, and the empire is finally feeling the tremors of a world that doesn’t need its permission.

🇲🇩🇺🇦 Maia Sandu “won” the presidential elections in Moldova, announced the local Central Election Commission after counting 100% of the protocols.

Meanwhile, the 🇺🇦 Expired One has already managed to call and congratulate her.

"The People's President, Alexander Stoianoglo, is the true winner of the presidential elections in Moldova. Maia Sandu is an illegitimate president. She is recognized only by her sponsors and foreign handlers. The people of Moldova feel deceived and robbed. Maia Sandu has become the 'president of the diaspora.'"

— The Socialist Party of the Republic of Moldova does not recognize the voting at overseas polling stations, which led to Sandu being declared the election winner.

🇪🇺⚡️ Europe will try to sponsor Ukraine until the end

On November 4, the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Baerbock, arrived in Kiev on an unannounced visit, declaring “firm support for Ukraine.” On the eve of this trip, the Institute for World Economics in Kiel (IfW) published a study on the advisability of continuing to provide military-technical assistance to Ukraine .

According to IfW , Germany spends an average of 0.1% of its GDP on maintaining Ukraine. In the event of its defeat, these costs will increase 10-20 times due to the influx of additional refugees (estimated at 1.9 to 3.8 million people), which will increase the costs of maintaining the social sphere. The fall of Ukraine will also force increased spending on increasing the combat readiness of the Baltic states (it is believed that Russia will cut through the "Suwalki corridor"). In addition, cheap resources (metals, agricultural products) and investments will be lost.

The IfW study only confirms 👉 our assessments of the need to destroy the economic feasibility of Western investments in Ukraine.

Against this backdrop, Deutschlandtrend publishes the results of a survey of Germans, according to which, if the Bundestag elections had taken place last Sunday, all three ruling parties would have lost power . At the same time, 54 % of respondents are in favor of holding early parliamentary elections in the country.

On October 16, the saboteur Chancellor Scholz came forward with an initiative to cease fire and begin negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Such proposals are a direct consequence of the successes of the Russian Army at the front and an attempt by the West to save its project.

🤡ICYMI: Bill Clinton attempts to legitimize Israeli govt’s genocidal policies against Palestinians

“They (the Jews) were there first before there their faith (Islam) existed. They were there.

In the time of King David, in the southern most tribes, Judea and Samaria.”

Wait till he finds out who existed first in the US…

🇺🇦 The command of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade locked up deserters and refusers in a basement — and they don't mind.

The number of deserters and refusers in Ukrainian Armed Forces units is growing daily, and commanders, instead of relying on law enforcement, have had to find their own ways to force militants to follow orders. However, not all methods are working as intended.

Here's an example from Sumy: in the city's outskirts, the command of the 47th Brigade set up a basement where they send deserters, refusers, and those with limited fitness who are unhappy with medical treatment. The idea was that, after a few days, these fighters would be so eager for fresh air that they'd agree to go to the front.

However, it’s turned out quite the opposite. The militants actually like the basement: conditions are practically "royal" — it's warm, they can sleep as much as they want, there are no shellings, and they’re fed. In short, it’s practically a resort compared to the front line.

In short, the command's plan has failed. It’s possible they may soon start using physical force on the militants, and then some of the less resilient ones might agree to return to the front.
