Ukrainian drones hit high-rise buildings in Russia today, presenting a chilling resemblance to the 9/11 attack in the US when planes rammed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York in 2001.
Speaking of “random acts of escalatory terrorism committed in Russia by the US/EU/NATO puppet government in Kiev” which “are not going to slow down the various Russian offensives”…
Open source investigators, looking at satellite pictures and online air traffic tracking, have noted significant moves by Russia at its long-held Syrian bases since the regime of its ally, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, was toppled nearly two weeks ago.
Russian officials have denied their troops are leaving Syria and reported they were negotiating with the rebel opposition group, which led the offensive that toppled the Assad regime and who are now setting up Syria’s transitional government.
The jury is still out on whether or not the fall of Syria constitutes a strategic defeat for Russia. For Iran and the Shiites, there is no question about it. But Russia has lost a security dependency (which is good for Russia), without losing a foothold in the Mediterranean. Now that foothold is located much closer to our Euro-peons.

China is expanding its nuclear force, has increased military pressure against Taiwan and has strengthened its ties with Russia over the past year, according to a Pentagon report Wednesday that details actions accelerating key areas of conflict with the United States.
One of the Biden Administration’s stated objectives in Ukraine was to put some distance between China and Russia. China would never ally with Russia, believed the idiots who control our foreign policy, once the Chinese see what we had prepared for the Russians in Ukraine.
As always, everything done by the idiots who control our foreign policy has blown up in their faces. The death of arms control portends to blow up in the faces of us all.

“Legally, we cannot give up our territories. This is prohibited by the constitution. But let’s not use such big words. Russia actually controls part of our territory today,” Zelenskyy said in response to a question as to how far Kyiv is prepared to compromise to end the war following Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion.
The US/EU/NATO Kiev regime sock puppet president states what everyone knew from the get-go. But hold onto your shorts, sportsracers. Forget those F-16s and ATACMS — Zelensky has brainstormed a brand new game-changing game-changer: the French.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had held a new discussion with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, on the latter’s proposal to deploy troops in Ukraine as a means to help achieve a stable peace. “We share a common vision: reliable guarantees are essential for a peace that can truly be achieved,” said Ukraine’s president, who was in Brussels on Wednesday for meetings with Nato’s chief and European leaders. “We continued working on President Macron’s initiative regarding the presence of forces in Ukraine that could contribute to stabilising the path to peace.”
French troops would serve only as additional targets. They would not change the fact that the Russians were always going to win the war that we chose to start against them in Ukraine.
A senior Russian general was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security service leveled criminal charges against him. A Ukrainian official said the service carried out the attack.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed as he left for his office. Kirillov’s assistant also died in the attack.
The random acts of escalatory terrorism committed in Russia by the US/EU/NATO puppet government in Kiev are not going to slow down the various Russian offensives.

Russia’s Defence Ministry said that Ukraine had attacked a military airfield in the southern Russian city of Taganrog on Wednesday morning with six U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles and promised retaliation.
The ministry said in a statement that all six missiles had been shot down or intercepted, but that falling missile debris had caused injuries among some personnel.
When the senile old sock puppet Joe Biden first rubber-stamped the US targeting of pre-2014 Russian territory with cruise missiles under the false flag of Ukraine, the idiotic reasoning was that such a new wonder-weapon was needed to safeguard the NATO proxy forces who had invaded Kursk from the alleged North Koreans who had allegedly joined the battle.
Taganrog is more than 500 miles from Kursk.
This latest dumb and useless attack only served the purpose of debunking US/NATO/EU propaganda.

Israeli ground forces have overtly crossed into Syrian territory for the first time since the 1973 October War, passing the demilitarized border zone, two Israeli officials said.
The victorious allies are now moving in to dissect the carcass of Syria. The Zionists are actively attacking what is left of the Syrian Arab Army, and seizing territory. Neither the US nor the Turks are likely to abandon their illegally-occupied Syrian territory. It is possible that an Alawite rump state will emerge as a Russian protectorate, but that may be a bridge too far.
If we do not abandon our positions, or stand down our Kurdish and our so-called “democratic” jihadi terrorist proxies, then we will be depriving Turkey’s now-ruling jihadi terrorist proxies of the same vital revenue generation from which we blocked Assad. Our jihadi terrorist proxies have battled Turkey’s jihadi terrorist proxies in the past. If no serious effort is made toward a political settlement, then the next phase of the Syrian civil war could be a real problem for NATO, which Russia and Iran will not hesitate to exploit.
Syria’s former President Bashar al-Assad is in Moscow with his family after Russia granted them asylum on humanitarian grounds, a Kremlin source told Russian news agencies on Sunday, and a deal has been done to ensure the safety of Russian military bases.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said earlier that Assad had left Syria and given orders for a peaceful transfer of power, after rebel fighters raced into Damascus unopposed on Sunday, ending nearly six decades of his family’s iron-fisted rule.
I do not expect the Russians to keep their bases in Syria very long. I can easily see them helping Iran go nuclear after all of this, though.
Syrian rebels declared President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, forcing him to flee and ending his family’s decades of rule after more than 13 years of civil war in a seismic moment for the Middle East.
The rebels said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments.
Hezbollah, which provided crucial support to Assad for years, withdrew all of its forces from Syria on Saturday as rebel factions approached the capital Damascus, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters on Sunday.
One of the sources said that the supervising forces that Hezbollah had deployed to Syria overnight between Thursday and Friday had been sent to oversee the pullback.
Syria’s army command notified officers on Sunday that Assad’s rule had ended, a Syrian officer who was informed of the move told Reuters.
But the military later said it was continuing operations against “terrorist groups” in the key cities of Hama and Homs and in the Deraa countryside.
Damascus has fallen; the Shiite Crescent has been broken. This is wonderful news for the Globalists, the Neoconservatives, the Zionists, the Islamists, and al-Qaeda. Not so much for the Syrian Christians, the Alawites, the Druze, and the other ethno-religious groups who backed the Assads because of the life-or-death predicament into which we placed them by unleashing the forces of Salafist jihadi terrorism throughout their country.
Apparently the Syrian Arab Army is still intact, it simply stopped fighting for Assad. The Shiite militias seem to have totally checked out. Our “democratic forces” and Kurdish forces are still intact.
The Syrian civil war may or may not be over. If it is, the world now has to deal with the fact that jihadi terrorists rule Syria.
An Iraqi official has told Newsweek that the country had no plans to send troops into neighboring Syria but was instead searching for a political resolution as a coalition of insurgents edged toward Damascus, threatening to oust longtime President Bashar al-Assad in a dramatic turn of a 13-year civil war.
Iraq and Hezbollah are not coming. Neither Russia nor Iran seem to be mobilizing. But that may have to do with the fact that the Syrian Arab Army does not even appear to be fighting. Entire brigades have been bought off, or outright defected to the jihadi cause. Syria is unraveling fast.
If Syria falls, then the Shiite Crescent will be broken. Meaning that Iran’s land bridge to support Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Palestinians will be gone. Hezbollah and the Palestinians are going to run out of bullets.
The Russians will lose their Mediterranean naval base. The ChiComs can kiss goodbye their Belt and Road Initiative.
Assad is down, but he is not out. It does not look like very much of a last stand is being prepared, though.

The regular British army could be wiped out in as little as six months if forced to fight a war on the scale of the Ukraine conflict, a defence minister has warned.
Alistair Carns said a rate of casualties similar to that prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would lead to the army being “expended” within six to 12 months.
He said it illustrated the importance of having reserves in order to be able to fight in a “war of scale”.
Official figures show the army had 109,245 personnel on 1 October, including 25,814 volunteer reservists.
The United States has no allies. All we have are security dependencies. Even our relationship with the UK is a liability to American security.
Hundreds of Iran-backed Iraqi fighters crossed into Syria on Monday to help the government fight rebels who seized Aleppo last week, but Lebanon’s Hezbollah has no plans for now to join them, according to sources.
Iran’s constellation of allied regional militia groups, aided by Russian air power, has been integral to the success of pro-government forces in subduing rebels in Syria who rose up against President Bashar al-Assad in 2011.
“Hundreds” of Shiite militia are coming in from Iraq to defend Syria, but hundreds may not be enough to make much of a difference. The Iraqi government vows not to be a spectator to the conflict, but NATO’s jihadi terrorists are not slowing down their advance.

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah does not currently intend to send fighters to northern Syria to support the Syrian army there, three sources familiar with the Iran-backed group’s thinking told Reuters on Monday.
Hezbollah is not coming. Russia and Iran will stand with Syria.

For this month’s helping of Psychedelic Pseconds, it’s Donovan, with “Hurdy Gurdy Man.”
Fighters from the Hay’et Tahrir al-Sham armed group have swept into the city of Aleppo after a lightning offensive, forcing the Syrian army to withdraw from the northern city after eight years.
The rebel assault is the most intense fighting seen in northwestern Syria since 2020, when Russia and Turkiye agreed to a deal to de-escalate the conflict after government forces seized areas previously controlled by opposition fighters.
The Syrian Arab Army needs to regroup; but that is easier said than done. For years, the US has occupied vital oil and grain fields to deprive the Syrian government of revenue generation. Because of this, and of course because of all the sanctions, Syria has languished following the Pyrrhic victory against our jihadi terrorists, in the first round of this conflict. Meanwhile, Turkey has protected the jihadi terrorists with their own military, while arming and training the terrorists to carry out this offensive. The Shiite militias are stretched thin, however the recent ceasefire between Hezbollah and the Zionists may free up defenders for Syria.
