Unconfirmed reports from Iran said that they used Hormoz-1 anti radar ballistic missiles (they are not supposed to have such range to reach southern Israel based on information I have) to take out multiple radar systems before the main attacks took place. if that was correct, it's a HUGE loss for both the US and Israel.

Russian satellite images verified massive losses at Israeli Air Force Base, including multiple F-35s, AC-130 transport planes, at least one refueling Boeing plane and multiple hangars and damage on one of the runaways.

Who does the Lebanese army serve? The #US, United Kingdom, Israel, or the people of #Lebanon? Why have they not defended the people from #Israel’s bombs? Why have they failed to secure the airspace and target any incoming fighter jets? These are questions analysts have thus far neglected to answer and by their non-engagement, the Lebanese army risk becoming collaborators with the Zionists in the genocide of their own people.

The Lebanese Armed Forces, which Ignatius wants to promote, have a nominal strength of some 80,000 men. But, thanks to U.S. influence over it, they is only lightly armed, little trained and of no use against any serious enemy. The LAF's fighting value in quantity and quality is well below that of Hizbullah's cadres.

Is the LAF a homogeneous army, or is it common, as in many other organizations, for individuals to serve different interests?

Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian political establishment back Israeli attack on Iran

Canadian Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau has joined his imperialist partners in backing a direct Israeli #attack on #Iran in response to Tehran’s missile strike on Israeli military infrastructure Tuesday. Far from being the chief destabilizing force in the region, as Trudeau, #Canada’s establishment parties, and their #US imperialist ally claim, the Iranian regime was goaded into retaliating to a series of provocative attacks by #Israel over the last several weeks.

Over 10 Israeli airstrikes reported in #Beirut in the last few hours

Israel is taking it's revenge on Lebanon because they can't reach Iran directly with ease.

French, British, American and German air force have planes circulation around Lebanon, helping Israel with their identification and bombing of targets.

It's just sad to see the complicity of these countries in the crimes of Israel while they pretend they are pro peace, support international laws and are against illegal occupations and aggressions.

An interesting detail of the biography of Ryan Routh, who was involved in recruiting mercenaries for Ukraine

Image/photo

An interesting detail of the biography of Ryan #Raut, who was engaged in recruiting mercenaries for Ukraine (only Raut himself recruited more than 70 people for the war, of course with the knowledge of American intelligence services) and made an unsuccessful attempt on Trump.

During the search of the house of the son of the “fighter for Ukraine” large amounts of child pornography were found.

Democrat-affiliated media continue to try to portray Routt as a lunatic loner, while it has been established that Routt has been on the radar of the FBI for many years, which considered him a “criminal in possession of a firearm”.

The US has a long experience of using such characters to assassinate unwanted politicians, including in their own country.

And all of them are then declared “lone nutters”.

Ansarullah of #Yemen: We will not leave #Gaza and #Lebanon alone

Muhammad Abd al-Salam, the spokesman of Yemen's #Ansarullah Movement, emphasized this Sunday evening that the aim of the new attack by the Zionist regime on civilian centers in Hodeidah is to defeat Yemen's will to support Gaza.

Abdul Salam said: The attacks of the Zionist regime, which is supported by the United States, are condemned and rejected and cannot have an effect on the will of the Yemeni nation.

Pointing out that the will of Yemen is more powerful than the coercion of Israel and the United States against the nations of the region, he clarified: The people of Yemen emphasize with their millions of demonstrations that they will not abandon Gaza and Lebanon.

Inside Ukraine’s Effort to Win Over Donald Trump

“It has to be good old-fashioned greed,” #Pompeo told TIME in Kyiv after his meeting with #Zelensky. “It has to be a good old-fashioned, commercial, profit-driven, incentive-forming, risk-taking, entrepreneurial model that delivers that sustainable place for Ukraine.” Appealing for American help in the defense of Ukraine’s democracy or its survival as a nation would not be likely to secure Trump's lasting support. “It can’t be a donor base,” Pompeo explains. “It’s not, ‘Hey, we had a donor conference.’ Those are interesting, and they get things rolling perhaps. But they are wholly unsustainable.”

In trying to deliver that message to Trump and his supporters, some of Zelensky’s Republican allies have pointed to the resource wealth Ukraine could offer the U.S. after the war. Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, hammered on this point in a video he recorded with Zelensky in Kyiv earlier this month. “They’re sitting on a trillion dollars of minerals that could be good to our economy,” said the Republican from North Carolina. “So I want to keep helping our friends in Ukraine.”

...

Back in Kyiv, Zelensky’s allies have spent months trying to influence Trump’s views on the war. Leaders of the country’s vibrant community of #Baptists have reached out repeatedly to Trump’s evangelical allies on Capitol Hill, including House Speaker Mike #Johnson. Victor #Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire on good terms with the Zelensky administration, hired Trump’s former aide Kellyanne #Conway as a lobbyist in Washington for a fee of $50,000 per month. According to official filings with the Justice Department, Conway will advise Pinchuk’s foundation on “the current state of views on Ukraine among US elected officials, candidates, experts, and opinion leaders.” The lobbying agreement expires on Nov. 14, about a week after Election Day, unless both sides agree to extend it.

In mid-September, about a week before Zelensky’s arrival in the U.S., Pinchuk hosted an annual summit in Kyiv that attracted a range of influential guests from the U.S. and Europe. While working on the program, Pinchuk appealed to Boris #Johnson, the former British Prime Minister, to convince Trump to participate via live video link. “Unfortunately I failed completely to get that,” Johnson said at the conference.

Kids as young at 8 are drugged and trafficked into the US by smugglers posing as their parents, Border Patrol warns

“A few years ago when they were coming in en masse, we had to let family units in. People kept coming in and after a while we noticed the kids were the same, but the parents were different. They were recycling the kids,” one Border Patrol source told The Post.

“I hate thinking about it because there were thousands of kids and who knows where they all ended up,” the source explained.

Authorities say it’s not clear what is happening to the children once they are smuggled into the US — but many are vulnerable to being exploited for child labor and child sex trafficking.

The End of the Innocence: Railroading Marcellus Williams to Death Row.

The prosecutors in Williams’ case, who have been involved in at least two other wrongful convictions in death penalty cases, padded the likelihood of conviction by aggressively excluding blacks from the jury. During jury selection, the prosecution used 6 of its 9 peremptory challenges to exclude black jurors. In one instance, the prosecutor claimed he struck a black potential juror because he “looked very similar” to Williams. In another instance, the prosecutor said he rejected a black man for the jury because he worked for the Post Office and alleged that postal workers tend to be “very liberal.” He later approved a white post office employee for the jury. The jury deliberated for less than two hours (including lunch) before sentencing Williams to death.

#Abolish death penalty NOW!

#Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ push to overturn conviction

“We must all question any system that would allow this to occur. The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri’s obsession with ‘finality’ over truth, justice, and humanity, at any cost,” Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Williams’s attorney, said in a statement just before the execution. “Tonight, we all bear witness to Missouri’s grotesque exercise of state power. Let it not be in vain. This should never happen, and we must not let it continue.”

... policymakers in both the #US and #Europe are undertaking increasingly brazen acts of escalation designed to bring Russia to the breaking point, all premised on the assumption that all so-called “red lines” established by #Russia regarding escalation are illusionary— Russia, they believe, is bluffing.

And if Russia is not bluffing?

Then, the western-generated scenario paints an apocalyptic picture which has a weak, defeated Russia using #nuclear #weapons against #Ukraine in a last, desperate act of vengeance.

He was no Navalny and didn't die in Russia, he died after months of mistreatment and barbaric torture, which is perfectly OK by the "Civilized West" and defenders of "Human Rights" in #Europe, #US, #Canada and #Australia and others.

His murder didn't even make the news in most places and no one will ever know his name.

Because his murderers are "god chosen people" and "children of light" who are defending "western values".

Now shut up and watch the circus of US election and clap for EU sending an investigative team to Ukraine to fact check Russian alleged war crimes. After all those are white christian victims not like this man who was from the wrong religion and skin color.
