Daniel Martindale underscored that the Russian side helped him understand the Ukraine conflict better from the perspective of both Russian and Ukrainian citizens, not just what he saw in the Western media.

The information allowed the Russian military "to carry out high-precision strikes on the enemy, minimizing damage to civilian infrastructure and civilians," the DPR Defense Headquarters stressed.

Very interesting interview

Like fucking clockwork. Despite all the NGO meddling, mass media propaganda campaigns etc Georgian people voted against the West, so the "woke leftist" Western media immediately begin massaging the public opinion, manufacturing consent for the coup that's clearly in the works.

Ackshually, Georgians and Moldovans are intimidated into voting by Russia, what they really want is the opposite of what they vote for!

I've never gave much thought to such measures before.
More infos here.

I'm all for peace and knowing each other culture, but not at the expense of each other diversity.

B.t.w., even if we're all biased here, it also reminded me of this other thread from them on Nigeria :

Quite a few talks these last days apparently, from indigenous policemen saying that they knew it was policemen who fired at Evo and the persons with him.
The government now isn't saying that Evo staged the attempt, and recognize that it was policemen that fired at him, but says that it was justified because Evo was escaping from a checkpoint for anti-narcotics operations and 'fled from'&'fired at' them unprovoked(, Del Castillo showed videos in which Evo can be seen saying that he himself had shot at the tires of the cars).

Here're two articles in these community notes :

Government Minister Eduardo del Castillo stated in a press conference today, Monday, that the former president fled from a routine police checkpoint for anti-narcotics operations, after which a pursuit ensued. Morales allegedly ran over a police officer and fired at the officers.
Del Castillo questioned Morales’ flight, his possession of weapons, and requested that his vehicle undergo a gunpowder residue test.
Additionally, he announced the initiation of criminal proceedings against the former president for attempted murder.
Although videos shared by Radio Kawsachun Coca, which supports Evo Morales Ayma, show an alleged attack on the vehicle carrying Morales and other companions, the footage does not show the moment when the former president allegedly attacked the police.
However, hours later, Morales confirmed he had used a firearm "to defend himself."
"We ducked down, since they were blocking us, we sped up, ran a fair bit, and the second car following us barely made it across, it kept following us, caught up, (I heard) more shots. I shot at the tire of the car that was there, it couldn’t keep going, and we quickly switched to the second car, and they kept shooting," Morales said in an interview with Kawsachun Coca on Sunday.

Del Castillo described that the car did not want to stop and that shots were fired from inside the group of agents.
According to the minister, this vehicle also ran over a police officer, and even backed up to try to finish him off.

Well, what's your opinion, (i barely took more than a dozen minutes to document myself on that, so )do you know more about this ?

Addition : Del Castillo also suddenly seized more than 21 tons(!) of cocaine, the highest in years, what a coincidence...

Keep in mind that this conspiracy could have also happened behind the back of Luis Arce, who knows...
I find hard to believe Arce would have tried to assassinate Evo, but he's still attacking him in lawfare and his speeches, so weird...

London, October 29 (RHC)-- Israel is encroaching into the British National Health Service, an institution which is lauded across the world for providing care at the point of need to millions of people daily, has been targeted by stealth.

For those a bit confused, this is the first time the US military has agreed with Ukrainian and occupied Korean claims that the DPRK has sent troops intended for Ukraine itself and marks an escalation in propaganda rhetoric.

I've archived the source to avoid giving the AP clicks for uncritically carried western propaganda.

US issued meaningless threat that they would be considered combatants and targeted by weapons the west gave them if they fought there alongside Russian troops (duh, very confusing and kinda telling statement).

“Today, I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia, and that North Korean military units have been deployed to the Kursk region,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters. Rutte said the move represents “a significant escalation” in North Korea’s involvement in the conflict and marks “a dangerous expansion of Russia’s war.”

Adding thousands of North Korean soldiers to Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II will pile more pressure on Ukraine’s weary and overstretched army. It will also stoke geopolitical tensions in the Korean Peninsula and the wider Indo-Pacific region, including Japan and Australia, Western officials say.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is keen to reshape global power dynamics. He sought to build a counterbalance to Western influence with a summit of BRICS countries, including the leaders of China and India, in Russia last week. He has sought direct help for the war from Iran, which has supplied drones, and North Korea, which has shipped large amounts of ammunition, according to Western governments.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov shrugged off Rutte’s comments and noted that Pyongyang and Moscow signed a joint security pact last June. He stopped short of confirming North Korean soldiers were in Russia.

The Ukraine regime is now claiming that these troops could be on the battlefield in days. A strange reversal from claims they were already on the battlefield and they'd captured some which happened a week ago. Time must be moving backwards there.

IMO this represents a pretext being invented to give Ukraine an excuse to use long-range weapons for deep strikes into Russia by saying it's fair game for the US to help as the DPRK is helping Russia (as if those two things are equal). In other words a desperate rush to nuclear war.

Leaders of several opposition parties in Georgia have said they will not recognize the results of the weekend's national parliamentary vote. According to the official results, the ruling Georgian Dream party received almost 54% of the vote, while various opposition forces attracted between 11% and 3%.

Georgian Dream party chairman Mamuka Mdinaradze has claimed the party is likely to win at least 90 of the national chamber’s 150 seats, up from the 74 it won in the last election. The party will then be able to form the next government since a simple 76-strong majority is needed in Georgia to pick the next prime minister and cabinet.

Tina Bokuchava, who heads the pro-Western Unity-National Movement (UNM) party, has accused the nation’s central election committee of doing Georgian Dream’s bidding and of “stealing the European future” of Georgia.

"The European future" really giving the game away with that anti-Russian chauvinism.

Bokuchava also said on Sunday that she’d already met with Georgia’s Western-leaning president Salome Zourabichvili, describing the meeting as “very important.” According to media in Georgia, the president has met with representatives of several opposition groups on Sunday, including the UNM and ‘Strong Georgia.’

Not good.

Salome Zourabichvili has claimed that the vote was won by what she called “European Georgia,” and despite alleged “attempts to rig elections.”

Georgian Dream’s Mdinaradze responded to the president’s statements by calling her an “agent” of the opposition radicals. “Georgia no longer has a president. Georgia has an agent, a leader of the radical opposition… the main coordinator,” the politician stated on Sunday.

Georgian Dream seem to be whatever else they are as not comprador lap-dogs of the west, maybe not entirely pro-Russian but realistic, they're the ones who pushed through the law forcing outing of foreign funding for NGOs which resulted in an attempted color revolution that failed.
