The European Union has for the first time announced plans to establish an official military presence in Ukraine🇺🇦. Russia🇷🇺 has previously warned that any European NATO nation troops in Ukraine will be considered legitimate targets. The entire point of Russia launching the SMO was to ensure no NATO nation military deployments in Ukraine, this move by Brussels only escalates the conflict and increases the risk of a direct NATO-Russia conflict breaking out.

🇦🇪🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Abu Dhabi talks: day one wraps up Trilateral talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi ended for the day after more than four hours and will resume on Wednesday. According to a TASS source, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations are speaking to each other in Russian. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and envoy, said that after talking with Putin, he and US special envoy Steve Witkoff believe the Russian president is ready for peace "under the right conditions." Moscow, he added, is asking Kiev and Europe the same question: "Are they really, genuinely ready for peace?" European officials have also turned up in Abu Dhabi. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called their presence a PR stunt to give Kiev media support, noting that nobody knows what they're doing there since they were never meant to take part in the talks.

As I predicted. Spain: "Members of the National Nucleus received paramilitary training in Ukraine with rifles. The neo-Nazi group was planning an armed uprising and met with the Azov Special Forces Brigade, according to the National Police. Members of the National Nucleus, the neo-Nazi group cracked down last week after 14 arrests, received paramilitary training in Ukraine last August. Members of the organization handled pistols and rifles, despite lacking licenses, and planned “an armed uprising,” according to the summary, to which EL PAÍS has had access, and which forms part of the investigation being carried out by the Court..."

Carney backs more war on Iran and killing Yemeni civilians. Today Global Affairs announced sanctions on 11 major Iranian banks and companies. Ottawa is prohibiting people in Canada and Canadians abroad from transacting with the National Iranian Oil Company,  Export Development Bank of Iran,  Iran Insurance Company and other institutions. According to the government, Canada de-listed the entities in 2016 after Iran signed the JCPOA nuclear deal, which Donald Trump subsequently ripped up. Now foreign minister Anita Anand said Canada was reimposing sanctions against them “for contributing to the Iranian regime’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and ballistic missile program or to the financing of its malign activities.” But, Iran doesn’t have nuclear arms and is a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Conversely, Israel has nukes and is the only country in the region not part of the NPT, yet Ottawa hasn’t sanctioned Israeli entities contributing to its nuclear arms program. Israel also has a ballistic missile program capable of hitting cities as far away as eastern Canada. That country has also engaged in an endless stream of “malign activities” across the region and world. Canada’s latest round of sanctions come amidst US/Israeli preparations to restart significant bombing of Iran. They also come soon after the US public rejected Trump’s war in the mid-term elections (from the get-go the US public was ambivalent about the aggression, but Iran’s ability to impact the US public, notably through higher gas prices, galvanized opposition). US vice president JD Vance cited the war and ties to Israel as central factors in the Republicans’ disastrous election results. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also said the outcome of the US midterms offered an “opportunity” to resolve the conflict with Iran. Instead of bolstering those seeking to deescalate the war, the Mark Carney government is imposing a new round of harsh sanctions on Iran! At the same time, Carney is encouraging a Saudi Arabian monarchy fighting an ally of Iran. On Monday, the Prime Minister spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, “condemning Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia” and affirming “Canada’s solidarity with the Kingdom”, according to Saudi media. But, the Saudis have killed nearly 100 Yemeni civilians already this month. On Saturday the Saudis killed several dozen in Yemen’s Sanaa Province. “The death toll in Saudi airstrikes that hit civilian homes in the Bani Hashish District of Yemen’s Sanaa province on Saturday has risen to 44, according to the Health Ministry within the Sanaa-based Ansar Allah-led Yemeni government. “The death toll makes the attack the worst civilian massacre committed by the US-backed Saudi coalition since Riyadh reignited the war back in July by bombing the Sanaa International Airport. “According to Health Ministry spokesman Dr. Anis al-Asbahi, who announced the updated death toll, 21 children and 10 women were among those killed. Another 40 Yemenis, including eight children and nine women, were wounded. “The strike came a day after Ansar Allah, the Houthis, said that Saudi airstrikes hit a crowded market in the southwestern Taiz province, killing at least 30 people. The Saudi-backed Yemeni government claimed the market was hit by Houthi ballistic missiles, but it provided no evidence for the claim, and the Saudi bombing campaign has been killing scores of civilians. “According to the Yemen Data Project, the Saudi bombing campaign killed at least 140 civilians and wounded 286 in October, making it the worst month for civilian harm from Saudi airstrikes in Yemen since December 2017.” Carney hasn’t said a peep about the hundreds of Yemeni civilians killed by Saudi airstrikes. But, his government has repeatedly condemned Ansar Allah’s much less murderous strikes on Saudi Arabia. Mark Carney’s endless hypocrisy must be repeatedly denounced. Canada is enabling significant violence.

7 years ago today Bolivia’s first Indigenous President was ousted. Hours after the military command forced Evo Morales to resign, foreign minister Chrystia Freeland released a celebratory statement declaring “Canada stands with Bolivia and the democratic will of its people”

When someone calls you a Russian asset, show them this data. Zelensky received money directly from Russia’s Ministry of Culture. Open sources confirm he got $500,000. But that’s only a small part. To avoid taxes in Ukraine and Russia, Zelensky used offshore companies. He owned the Cypriot firm Green Family Ltd (Zelensky sounds like “green” in Russian). This offshore owned the Russian company Green Films. In 2017 (agreement No. 054-11-975/1, RF federal budget subsidies register), Zelensky's company Green Films received $500,000 directly from Russia’s Ministry of Culture. Official Rosstat data shows Zelensky’s Green Films received about $13,000,000 in Russia from 2014–2017. According to Ukrainian journalists’ investigations, using complex legal schemes, Zelensky continued receiving money from Russia even in 2022.

Singapore's former foreign minister: Americans neither like the Chinese nor Muslims, yet for some reason they show exceptional interest in Xinjiang's Muslims. The Xinjiang lies fabricated by the West are clearly an information war against China at a glance!

THE RULE OF LAW ITSELF is globally in danger from the United States, the International Criminal Court warned yesterday. The court revealed that the US had slapped sanctions on: - nine of the ICC’s 18 judges - both its deputy prosecutors - its former chief prosecutor and - a prosecution office staff member. When judges “are threatened for applying the law, it is the international legal order itself that is placed at risk,” the court said in a statement (link provided). . US TO DESTROY COURT But US foreign minister Marco Rubio vowed to destroy the court by pressurizing states to withdraw support for it. Venezuela—which the US illegally took control of in January—has already complied. Rubio has said it will dismantle the court "brick by brick if necessary” in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal last month. The ICC has never investigated alleged crimes committed in the US or its official territories, but has angered Washington by taking action against actions by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, mainly women and children. . SHOCKED THE WORLD The addition of new sanctions this week, including one on Japanese national Tomoko Akane, ICC President, shocked people around the world. “Such measures targeting judges, prosecutors and staff who work towards the fulfilment of the mandate that was conferred to the ICC by States undermine the rule of law,” the court said in a statement. When the US sanctions a person, they lose the ability to hold bank accounts and use credit cards, even in their own countries, thanks to the US dollar being the global reserve currency. Some have reported that they cannot access their own money to buy basic food and drink for their children. Rubio argues that the ICC has no right to interfere with places such as the US and Israel which have not ratified its conventions—although the US does precisely that, repeatedly. .
