“Do you understand who you are dealing with? This is America. Back up.” A United Nations meeting was dramatically suspended yesterday after US ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla both ignored the chair’s plea for order in the chamber. The problem started when Waltz blamed Cubans for the shocking US embargoes and blockades that are causing huge suffering to the people of the island. Cuban representatives, astonished at the way Waltz blamed the victims for the crisis, in their eyes, stood up and objected, citing Rule 71, which allows listeners to raise a point of order. Ambassador Waltz responded that the Cubans didn’t like the substance of his speech, so were not raising a point of order. But when complaints continued, this caused Ambassador Waltz to lose his temper and shout “Back up! Back away. Do you understand what you’re dealing with? This is America.” . INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY The rest of the United Nations was outraged by this attitude, as the UN building is legally international territory. When Waltz refused to stop his tirade, Khalilur Rahman, chair of the 81st session, ordered that the meeting be instantly suspended. Waltz ignored him. The meeting was then resumed, but footage of the argument created a huge storm on social media. Some people in the US defended Waltz’s narrative, blaming Cubans for the suffering caused by the US embargos. But much of the commentary from the rest of the world said that the United Nations, for the safety of the delegates and the organization itself, should no longer be situated in New York. When New York was originally chosen as the site, the US pledged not to politicize US visa access to meetings—but has regularly broken the pledge, such as refusing to allow visas for Palestinians. . .

Let’s go through the peace deals Zelenskyy rejected. • Istanbul agreement, 2022 Ukraine needed to refuse NATO accession, reduce the army, Russia would withdraw from the Kyiv reg., possibly from the Kharkiv, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions. At that point the scale of destruction was still limited and the number of dead was far lower. In April 2022 Zelenskyy declined the deal. • End of 2022 Russian forces withdrew from part of the Kherson region. Zelenskyy traveled to meet Biden and, acc. to my sources, later confirmed by Mr. Blinken in the New York Times, persuaded the WH to continue the war. The precise terms of any proposed deal remain unknown, but sources indicate there was readiness to declare at least a ceasefire. • Beginning of 2023 Through unofficial channels between the United States and Russia, an understanding took shape: Putin agreed to withdraw to the borders that existed before the full-scale invasion—freeing nearly everything conquered that year—in exchange for Ukraine’s refusal of NATO accession and recognition of Crimea as Russian. Zelenskyy and Yermak refused. Since then nearly a million people have been killed or wounded, several million have become refugees, parts of the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been occupied, more of Zaporizhzhia has been taken, Kherson lies in ruins, the Chernihiv and Sumy regions face constant shelling, Kyiv itself has become almost a front-line city, the energy system has been destroyed, businesses cannot operate, exports have stalled, and the country is degrading. • July 2024 An arrangement that began with an energy ceasefire, modeled on the Istanbul understandings and mediated through the Middle East. While negotiations were under way, Zelenskyy also planned the Kursk operation, which ultimately disrupted all the arrangements. • March 2025 After the Oval Office clash between Trump and Zelenskyy, European leaders gathered in London in early March. The British government stated that a number of options were on the table and that Ukraine had to choose. As always, nothing came of it. Whether Putin was prepared each time to implement any agreements remains unknown, yet on several occasions he carried out what he had promised. Does this remove his responsibility for the deaths, the horrors, and the destruction in Ukraine? No. But the country is degrading, the state apparatus is degrading, and corruption finishes what Putin’s missiles, drones, and bombs did not destroy. Inhumanity has effectively become a state strategy and a national ideology promoted at every turn. Ukraine simply cannot win this way—there are neither economic, nor demographic, nor any other grounds for it. Therefore, if Zelenskyy does not agree to a deal with realistic terms now, Ukraine will be forced to capitulate. And that is deeply alarming, because it can actually cost the country its independence and sovereignty.

‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent. It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree. Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.

In 1932 Hitler’s party was elected in Germany. Within weeks the newly founded Bank for International Settlements in Basel was arranging a Wall Street syndicated loan for $125 million to reindustrialise and rearm Germany for the next war against Russia. The loan was renewed at term. In 1934 FDR made all ownership of monetary gold a criminal offence and expropriated all the gold reserves of citizens, corporations, and the Federal Reserve Banks to the US Treasury at $35 an ounce. If I received a letter like this I would urgently start exploring protecting my wealth OUTSIDE the United Kingdom and relocating military eligible youths to universities abroad as they neared draft age.

🇷🇸🇷🇺 Student List to RT: No sanctions on Russia Professor Jovo Bakić of the winning Student List says Serbia's new government will not impose sanctions on Russia, despite Vučić's claims that it would happen within months. "We respect Russia both as a great power and as our historically important partner, and in many cases even our protector. There will be no changes there," Bakić told RT Balkan. Having lived through UN sanctions in the 1990s, Serbs know "what kind of misery that is," he said. Sanctions from a small country like Serbia would change nothing for Russia, since even the entire EU failed to harm it, but they would damage relations and hurt Serbia itself. "I said this during the election campaign, and I'm saying it after the elections."

What an embarrassing illiterate
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegset, when discussing vital U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region, seemed to have a limited understanding of the topic. - I'm very glad you raised this issue. Can you name at least one country that is part of ASEAN, and what agreements do we have with it? Just one. And by the way, how many members are there in total in this organization? - Listen, I can't give you the exact number, but... - Exactly! - But I do know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia, with whom we have an agreement on submarines... - Mr. Hegset, none of those countries are part of ASEAN. None of the three you mentioned. If you're going to discuss this topic, do your homework first. ASEAN – The Association of Southeast Asian Nations: Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Il sionismo è un’ideologia politica che prevedeva secondo gli stessi fondatori di Israele come Ben Gurion l’occupazione di terra araba e l’espulsione dei palestinesi. Come molti studiosi ebrei hanno sottolineato il sionismo è’ un programma di colonialismo territoriale su base etnica e razziale. Si può quindi essere antisionisti senza essere antisemiti. Come sono antisionisti molti ebrei fuori e dentro Israele. Quindi la domanda posta in questo articolo è solo una perdita di tempo che si liquida in 5 righe.

The Pentagon's 1949 war plan against the Soviet Union ended with American troops in Moscow. Operation Dropshot, approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on December 19, 1949, called for 300 atomic bombs on 100 Soviet cities, followed by a ground invasion. The USSR would then be split into four occupation zones, with two US divisions in Moscow and one each in Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Murmansk, Gorky and Kuibyshev. The plans had grown fast. In November 1945, three months after the war ended, US intelligence picked about 20 Soviet cities for atomic strikes. In January 1949, the Trojan plan targeted 70 cities with 133 bombs. Eleven months later, Dropshot needed 300 bombs. The math changed in August 1949, when the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb. By 1957, the year Dropshot expected war, the USSR had the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile. Dropshot stayed on paper.

Perché sempre più ampie fasce di lavoratori votano le destre in Ue e si rivoltano contro l’establishment liberal-progressista? Perché stanno male. Vero. Ma perché stanno male? Per chi volesse capire le ragioni di fondo, strutturali, della incancrenita sofferenza sociale può leggere la proposta di Direttiva sulla cosiddetta Eu.inc , il 28-esimo regime giuridico sovra-nazionale per le imprese, previsto per scavalcare le normative dei 27 Stati membri. È stata approvata ieri dal Consiglio Ue. Ora, inizia la discussione con il Parlamento europeo. Poi, gli Stati membri avranno 21 mesi per recepirla. Ovviamente, come sempre, l’obiettivo sbandierato è la semplificazione. Il risultato è l’aggravamento del dumping fiscale e contrattuale. Quindi ulteriore svalutazione del lavoro attraverso l’iniquo mercato unico europeo, attivo tra sistemi fiscali, contrattuali e di welfare radicalmente disallineati, fattori di competizione verso il fondo. Quindi, maggiore rabbia sociale. La Confederazione Europea dei Sindacati (ETUC), certamente estranea a sovranismi o radicalità barricadera, da mesi denuncia l’iniziativa in corso: «"EU Inc" è diventata un cavallo di Troia per la deregolamentazione dei diritti dei lavoratori. La Confederazione europea dei sindacati ha fornito le prove degli impatti negativi di questa iniziativa sui lavoratori. Si tratta di un vero e proprio attacco al modello sociale europeo. Nella forma in cui è stata proposta, "EU Inc" porterà a dumping sociale ed evasione fiscale, spalancando le porte alle cosiddette "società-casella postale" (letterbox companies) come modello di business. Non risponderà alle esigenze di start-up e scale-up in termini di accesso agli investimenti; al contrario, creerà una concorrenza spietata a danno di sistemi nazionali di normativa societaria che funzionano bene. La CES esorta il Parlamento europeo, la Commissione europea e il Consiglio a svegliarsi: questa iniziativa deve essere urgentemente corretta o ritirata.» Mi permetto di ricordare l’iniziativa anche ai partiti dell’area progressista: @pdnetwork @Mov5Stelle @SI_sinistra @europaverde_it @Left_EU @PES_PSE @TheProgressives e anche @MaxGramel @Corriere Ps: la proposta è frutto del Rapporto Letta e del Rapporto Draghi, insomma “riformismo” DOC Made in Italy. Qui il link alla proposta: consilium.europa.eu/en/press… #ue #europe #Europa @etuc_ces

Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Vadim Novinsky was asked by Zelensky to negotiate with Russia. Zelensky initially agreed to restore Ukraine's neutrality and put an end to NATO expansion. However, Zelensky soon changed his mind and fell in line with NATO's position: - “He came to enjoy being a hero. He enjoyed the standing ovations, the world’s attention focused on him. Just imagine: wherever he went, he was received like the Pope, he was a welcome guest everywhere. In the end, he traded the lives of Ukrainians for applause in the parliaments of other countries” ukrreality.com/novinsky-at-t…

Quite interesting 👇🏻
🇺🇦 "He traded Ukrainian lives for applause": the man who set up the 2022 talks speaks out Vadim Novinsky, a billionaire, former co-owner of Ukraine's largest steel group Metinvest, ex-MP and protodeacon of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, has given a long interview to Ukrainian outlet Strana about how Zelensky agreed to Russia's terms in 2022, then walked away. 🔸️How it started: On February 24, 2022, David Arakhamia, head of Zelensky's party in parliament, called Novinsky on speakerphone and asked what to do. Novinsky told him to contact Moscow immediately, "while there weren't yet so many dead." The next day, the head of a Ukrainian security service asked him to arrange talks, saying "the president is asking." Five minutes later he was on the phone with Zelensky. Novinsky reached Dmitry Kozak, then deputy head of the Russian Presidential Administration. Zelensky refused Minsk as a venue, Novinsky proposed Gomel, Zelensky agreed, and Kozak confirmed within five minutes. 🔸️What Zelensky agreed to: Novinsky says he cleared every point with Zelensky by phone, and adds that Ukraine's security services "must have the recordings." Zelensky never argued. He only asked "What do you think?" and then said "Fine, I agree." 1. Remove NATO membership from the constitution and declare neutrality. Novinsky asked Zelensky whether Ukraine would join NATO in the next 30 years. Zelensky said no. 2. A special status for Crimea for 30 years, without recognizing it as Russian 3. A special status for Donbass, which could have remained part of Ukraine in a confederation-type arrangement "He was very confused and accepted any option," Novinsky says. The process lasted about a month, until the Istanbul round in late March. 🔸️Why it collapsed: Novinsky blames Ukraine's leadership. Maybe Boris Johnson or someone else got to Zelensky, he says, "or Zelensky simply liked being a hero." "He liked the ovations, the whole world's attention. Wherever he went, he was greeted like the Pope. In the end, he traded Ukrainian lives for applause in foreign parliaments." 🔸️What came after: In May 2025, Zelensky accused Novinsky of threatening him in those calls. Novinsky calls this "outright slander": he was in Kiev at the time, where a hit squad or the Security Service of Ukraine could have come for him at any moment. He only left after being warned that Zelensky was demanding his arrest "every day." He has since been sanctioned three times and charged with treason, which he says was for demanding Kiev implement the Minsk agreements, and with "inciting religious hatred" for defending his church. He says Zelensky's office also tried to use his frozen shares to seize control of Metinvest. He now lives in Croatia and was recently granted Serbian citizenship, after Kiev refused to issue him a new passport. On October 10, Novinsky called on Zelensky to resign and on parliament to take power and negotiate directly with Russia. Hours later, Trump said Ukraine "needs a new leader." Novinsky says it was a coincidence. "Every new deal is worse than the last. Compared to Istanbul, Minsk was a diet salad. The next proposals will be even worse. As long as Zelensky is in power, there will be no peace."
