      Thanks likewise.

      Since I am not as tech-savvy as you are I don´t yet know about that translation thing.
      I use a couple of browsers among them Yandex but without such plug-in. I have to find a solution for that now.

      p.s. Attention: the guy Maté talks to from TIME is insane. This is the reason why we are well marching into a certain direction. And Maté fails us there. The guy however gets worse on Halpers questions.
      See for yourself.

      Oh and I feel he just lies very often (but you can judge that much better!).

      I have noted a few points of the Eva Bartlett – Jacques Baud video on Donbas pre-2022 a situation which Maté and Shuster (TIME) talk about too:

      JACQUES BAUD: NATO THREATENED RUSSIA DECADES BEFORE 2022
      27/10/2024
      https://rumble.com/v5fjhrh-jacques-baud-nato-threatened-russia-decades-before-2022.html

      TC – 21:00 Crimea no green men
      TC – 33:00 no human rights for minorities
      TC – 42:00 UKR said officially 2015 no RU Army in Donbas
      TC – 49:00 Z´s decree 24/3/2021 to conquer South and the Donbas and that led to SMO
      TC – 51:00 never separatism only autonomy

      p.p.s. And since you are an engineer by heart and may be training too, I don´t know, this odd American may be interesting: The video is 1 year old (think Oreshnik)

      “Testing the US Military’s Worst Idea”

      He displays an odd incompetence in the preparation of his trials, I found. May be intentionally however to make the show more inteesting.

      “None of the fallout, all of the fun”

      Andrei Martyanov has some comments too:

      “(…)
      Kovalchuk, the Director of Kurchatov Institute:

      Translation: MOSCOW, November 27 — RIA Novosti. The materials that Russia has that can withstand ultra-high temperatures made it possible to create the Oreshnik system and will make it possible to create other types of hypersonic weapons, said Mikhail Kovalchuk, president of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center. The Oreshnik was demonstrated the other day. Why did we do this, why did we overtake everyone? Because we are one of the five world leaders. <…> We have created hypersonic weapons in a short period of time. And these are materials that used to work at 1,500 degrees, then at 1,800, and these at 2,000, and we did it, while others did not,” Kovalchuk told Izvestia on the sidelines of the IV Congress of Young Scientists, which is taking place in the federal territory of Sirius. According to him, the next step should be materials that can withstand 2,500-3,000 degrees. “Other materials that can withstand high temperatures will make it possible to create even more advanced weapons. The next step should be materials that can withstand 2500-3000 degrees,” Kovalchuk said.
      https://ria.ru/20241127/oreshnik-1986100595.html
      (…)”

      Martyanov himself goes on:

      “(…)
      I explained the difference between hypersonic and ICBMs so many times on this blog, that I am really tired repeating it, for the last time:
      1. ICBM MIRVs are in the atmosphere for a very short time–seconds really;
      2. Hypersonic weapons are weapons which are capable:
      a) of flying IN the atmosphere, maneuver in it and be controlled, all that is for many minutes.
      b) that is why Oreshnik, while being a ballistic missile (on the booster phase) delivers warheads (either inert, loaded with conventional explosives or 900 kT nuke) into their maneuver phase after which they maneuver at some atmospheric high elevation and then DIVE. Practically same routine as Kinzhal. Imagine 36 Kinzhals flying at you at once. The whole world saw it. Nobody in the world (except Russia) has a technology to intercept it. These weapons are called quasi ballistic weapons.
      c) Other hypersonic weapons, such as 3M22 Zircon conduct fully powered flight within atmosphere for minutes and arrive to the target under own propulsion.
      3. Russia already has MIRVs which are powered and also can maneuver for ICBMs such as RS-28 Sarmat. And then there are gliding maneuvering block such as Avangard which have unlimited range, fly with M=27+ and maneuver.
      (…)”

      How The New Russian Missiles Are Changing The Game

      To describe a weapon system as a game changer on the battlefield is always open to be ridiculed. Many of the weapon systems that have been delivered to Ukraine were called game changing but failed to make any difference in the outcome of that war.

      So why did I call the new Russian Oreshnik missile a ‘game changer’?

      There are several reasons.(…)”

        Absurd to watch EU reaction regarding Georgia, they obviously another “Maida”n and regime change, that is after Georgia had their election and where the EU critic clearly won
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Georgian_parliamentary_election

        But EU do not care about democracy, election if their candidate did not win so now EU threat Georgia with sanctions,

        EU threatens Georgia with sanctions
        Kaja Kallas has accused the Georgian authorities of using violence against protesters

        In other news:
        In Syria, you have, in part, an ukrainian hand behind the uprising:

        Ukraine trained Syrian terrorists – media
        Ukraine’s military intelligence provided “operational training” to some of the Islamist groups, the Kyiv Post claims

        https://swentr.site/news/608513-terrorists-syria-aleppo-trained-kiev/
        Note that even Kiev-post, the pro-ukrainian media outlet, claim this.

          Truly amazing things are happening to this country Georgia!

          Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili met with opposition leaders on Saturday and made a statement to the protesters. She said that despite the expiration of her term, she doesn’t intend to leave the presidency, as she considers the current composition of parliament illegitimate!
          This is how Russian media quotes her:
          “I remain your president. There is no legitimate parliament, so an illegitimate parliament cannot elect a new president. Therefore, there can be no inauguration, and my mandate is valid until there is a legally elected parliament that legally elects someone in my place.”
          Earlier, she accused the ruling party of a constitutional coup. And she said the following:
          “I met with the ambassadors of the EU countries and told them that the current leadership has finally moved away from Europe and headed towards Russia. I asked the ambassadors to do everything necessary to hold new elections in Georgia.” —
          I can’t even express how strange this all seems to me.
          Do I understand correctly that the President of Georgia asks representatives of other countries to ignore the Parliament and the protesters, yet directly asks them to interfere in the election process, while herself being an official whose term of office has expired?
          This reminds me of Ukraine 🙂

            It is absurd, she commit nothing but treason by doing this:

            “I met with the ambassadors of the EU countries and told them that the current leadership has finally moved away from Europe and headed towards Russia. I asked the ambassadors to do everything necessary to hold new elections in Georgia.”

            And it is not the first time either, repeatedly, this woman have went against her own nation.

            Remember also that Salome Zurabishvili was not even born in Georgia but in France and only recently she became a politician in Georgia, she do not even speak the Georgian language even though she claim to have been raised in Georgian-household/culture.

            Nothing but a female version of Zelensky on the rising…

              I am worried that Trump may fail to stop the proxy war against Russia.

              On October 21 earlier this year, when Israel was about to strike Iran, Russia flew a Tu-214PU Command-and-Control aircraft around Israel’s likely targets in Iran, with its transponder on so that all the world would know. According to various reports, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister and various Russian cabinet ministers were on board. Russia thereby sent a very clear message to Israel and the US; “Iran is under Russian protection”.

              But Trump hates Iran; he was itching to start an all out war against Iran in his last term of office. And of course he loves Israel, and especially Netanyahu. So I think that, in his negotiations with Russia, he may make removal of Russian protection of Iran the price of a Ukrainian ceasefire against Russia.

              How the Russian government may respond to that is another matter of course. A good outcome could be that when Trump visits Russia for negotiations, the Russian government introduces him to Russian experts who explain and show him evidence about US State Department / CIA collusion with the Gulf Monarchies, and how for decades Saudi-backed ‘Jihadists’ have been sent to attack and destabilise Russia and its allies. This could possibly cause Trump to change his mind, but he is very close to Netanyahu.

                Trump certainly looks like a jack-in-the-box, as if he appeared from the outside, and he seems to be opposing other political clans. But it seems to me that he is the same protégé of global financial capital as his predecessors.
                He recently wrote a threatening warning on Twitter about the possible creation of a BRICS currency and the abandonment of the dollar.
                I believe that the main puppeteers supporting the global status of the dollar are sitting in London. Perhaps Trump has come to Make America Great Britain Again?

                  Well, we have a new funny wave of ironic memes about the fact that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden.

                  Baden Sr. personally pardoned his son Hunter, releasing him from criminal punishment for the crimes he confessed to.

                  Crimes: failure to pay taxes in the amount of over $ 1.4 million and the purchase of a gun at a time when he was abusing illegal substances.

                  The maximum sentence is 42 years. The court was supposed to announce the verdict in a few days. But Biden Sr. thought about it and decided that it was not necessary 🙂 And he personally pardoned him, releasing him from any punishment for these cases. So the law is the law, but if the dad is the president…

                    Commentators point out that the criminal episodes imputed to Hunter were committed in 2016-2019 (tax evasion) and in 2018 (obtaining a weapons license while hiding drug addiction)

                    But the pardon document refers to the time period starting in 2014.
                    Here is the doc
                    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/12/01/statement-from-president-joe-biden-11/

                    A Full and Unconditional Pardon

                    For those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions)…

                    —-

                    The 2014 events concerning Hunter Biden may include the case of Burisma Holding, a Ukrainian-owned gas producer that hired Hunter for some corporate consulting work in April 2014, shortly after Vice President Biden’s visit to Kiev.

                    The “Burisma case” later became the basis for many investigations in the US and Ukraine, and even one of the reasons for the first impeachment of President Trump, when Trump asked the “newly elected” Ukrainian President Ze in a 2019 phone call to continue the investigation into Hunter Baden, which had been closed under the previous Ukrainian president.

                    I’m telling you, the Biden family has some personal financial interests in Ukraine.

                      The president i georgia doubling down, claim election fraud and call for people to protest in the streets.

                      Zourabichvili has refused to leave office after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze froze EU accession talks.
                      “After universities, it is the turn of schools to express their solidarity with the protests, all over Georgia,” Zourabichvili wrote on social media on Monday.

                      When Trump, stupidly, claimed that the earlier presidential election had been stolen, he was blasted by the whole west, when western allies/potential allies claim the same, they are instead hailed!

                          Just want to share something about the anti-russian idiocy going on here in Sweden

                          Past couple of days:

                        • Russia was accused of sending a drone and dropping paint on… their own embassy here in Sweden
                          Russia was accused of throwing paint on the, israeli arms-company, Eblit’s facitilies here in Sweden
                          Russia was accused of cutting cables in the Baltic Sea
                          Russia was accused of cutting cables on land between Sweden and Finland
                        • “Russia is being investigated for the night’s color attacks”

                          https://omni-se.translate.goog/uppgift-ryssland-misstanks-ligga-bakom-fargattack/a/Ppa6de?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=sv&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

                          All these absurd, conspiracy theories, evidence-free claims are reported with a straight face by every media here. It is like one live in a nuthouse! What is insane is that the same media claim that russian disinformation is everywhere but swedish/western politicians/media are obviously blind to their own disinformation, propaganda against Russia.

                          Jack, I think these are pretty stupid. Unsubstantiated, screaming headlines.
                          If I had my own media, you would get some really exciting and witty conspiracy theories!
                          Like, did you know that Ze is a political vampire?
                          His own term is over, now he travels the world and shakes hands with other politicians, that’s how he sucks out other people’s tenure in office 🙂
                          Look, almost every politician who shook hands with Zelensky loses his job!

                              I just checked back through the comments as of from November 16th, and it doesn’t look as if anyone posted this, or about this, which I just came across a bit earlier:

                              Leaks expose secret British military cell plotting to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’
                              Kit Klarenberg·November 16, 2024

                              Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train “Gladio”-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, and groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war against Russia.

                              Emails and internal documents reviewed by The Grayzone reveal details of a cabal of British military and intelligence veterans which plotted to escalate and prolong the Ukraine proxy war “at all costs.” Convened under the direction of the British Ministry of Defense in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the cell referred to itself as Project Alchemy. As British leadership sabotaged peace talks between Kiev and Moscow, the cell put forward an array of plans “to keep Ukraine fighting” by imposing “strategic dilemmas, costs and frictions upon Russia.”

                              The leaks obtained by The Grayzone expose a hidden hand behind Britain’s policy in Ukraine, showing in unusually granular detail how it aimed to engineer a long, grinding war through covert operations that stretched the bounds of legality.

                              Project Alchemy’s proposed schemes spanned every conceivable field of warfare, from cyber attacks to “discreet operations” to outright terrorism. The secret cell even put forward a plan to “aggressively pursue” and “dismantle” independent media outlets – including The Grayzone – through an aggressive campaign of legal harassment and online censorship, so they “would be forced to close.” The incendiary blueprints were fed to the highest levels of the British state and national security structure, where they were apparently well-received.

                              Founded by a senior British Ministry of Defence official, Project Alchemy is composed of veteran military and intelligence operatives united by a desire for all-out war between the West and Russia…

                              That would be a fascist cabal, of course!

                                And I didn’t spot anything about this in the comments either… Boris Johnson letting the cat out of the bag in a recent Telegraph interview:

                                Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Johnson said Britain was “morally responsible” for Ukraine, having been a co-signatory, along with nuclear powers Russia and the US, to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum…..

                                “We’re waging a proxy war, but we’re not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. For years now, we’ve been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs and it has been cruel.”

                                He didn’t go as far as acknowledging/conceding that the West/Nato provoked Russia/Putin into taking military action of course, and that THEY are in effect responsible for the hundreds of thousands (of mainly military personnel) who have been killed and maimed, and the millions who have been displaced etc, etc, etc. And the vast majority of the public in the UK and Western nations still don’t know about all the warnings by politicians and foreign policy experts during the past twenty-five years or more about the likely outcome of expanding Nato eastwards. It would be great if groups of people all over the country (and other countries) did something like this in respect of the warnings (and also about the fact that only one baby was killed on October 7th, and accidentally so):

                                  And a poster on Skwawkbox linked to this a couple of days ago, posted/published on November 26th:

                                  As emergency NATO-Ukraine Council meets, peace campaigners call on Prime Minister to withdraw use of Storm Shadows

                                  Today, MPs and peace campaigners handed in a letter to the Prime Minister at Downing Street, calling on Britain to end its reckless role in intensifying the war in Ukraine.

                                  The hand-in took place as the emergency Ukraine-NATO council meets in Brussels, and follows a week of terrifying escalation. The decisions by the US and Britain, to allow Ukraine to use long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory has seen Russia lower the threshold for nuclear use and its launching of a new hypersonic ballistic missile for the first time on the battlefield.

                                  The letter, signed by MPs Diane Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn, Ayoub Khan, Shockat Adam, and Iqbal Mohamed, also expresses shock at recent statements by Britain’s Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Magowan, who recently said that ‘If the British Army was asked to fight tonight, it would fight tonight.’ These comments only serve to further increase tensions with Russia…

                                  Diane Abbott MP said:

                                  “Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives in this conflict. Instead of risking an all-out confrontation between NATO and Russia, Starmer should act on the wishes of the Ukrainian people, a majority of whom want an urgent end to the conflict through peace talks.”

                                  Jeremy Corbyn MP said:

                                  “As we edge closer and closer to catastrophe, we should be doing everything in our power to bring about de-escalation and peace. Instead, our political leaders are adding fuel to the fire and gambling with people’s lives for political gain. Presidents and Prime Ministers must know that in the event of nuclear war, nobody wins.”

                                  Stop the War Coalition Convenor Lindsey German said:

                                  “The firing of US and UK missiles into Russia is a terrifying development which escalates the Ukraine war and demonstrates our own government’s direct involvement in the conflict…

                                    I don’t know if once you’ve been ticked off for posting off topic whether your post is still visible to everyone, or only visible to you, but I posted the following Telegraph article a few days ago (and got ticked off), and I just checked the comments section again to see if any more comments had been posted, and there were several more, and one that made a very pertinent point. Anyway, here’s the gist of the article:

                                    Zelensky: I’ll give up Ukrainian territory to Russia to achieve peace

                                    President says for first time that his country could cede land temporarily in exchange for protection of a ‘Nato umbrella’

                                    Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday night that he was willing to cede territory to Russia to end the war for the first time.

                                    The Ukrainian president said his country could give up land temporarily in exchange for a “Nato umbrella” over the territory Ukraine still holds.

                                    He added that after a ceasefire was agreed, Kyiv could “diplomatically” negotiate the return of the territory in the east that is currently under Russian control.

                                    Mr Zelensky hinted in his interview that the “Nato umbrella” would not be full membership of Nato, something Putin has rejected as part of any peace deal.

                                    Rather, it could mean Nato member states, including Britain, the US, France and Germany, providing individual security guarantees to Ukraine.

                                    And here’s what the poster said:

                                    What NATO umbrella? My gut feeling is telling me that he is just buying time in order to joint NATO because a country in war cannot join NATO. He plan: temporarily cease fire, join NATO, then, force NATO countries to enter war with him.

                                    I don’t suppose any ‘forcing’ would be necessary, and the war-mongering nutters are just itching to start World War 3.

                                      I don’t think Ukraine or the USA intend the offer (to give up land but join NATO) to end the war is serious. Russia has been quite clear for many years that NATO espansion East is unacceptable. Russia will never agree to this, and both the USA and Ukraine know it. It seems to be to be a ploy whereby USA and Ukraine can say “Look how unreasonable Russia is, we offered to compromise and give up land, but Russia refused!”.

                                        64% of Ukrainians want peace negotiations to start. Blinken knows that but is demanding that 18 year old kids now be sent to the frontlines. Washington and London are Ukraine’s worst enemies. It’s never been more obvious.

                                          His own term is over, now he travels the world and shakes hands with other politicians, that’s how he sucks out other people’s tenure in office 🙂
                                          Look, almost every politician who shook hands with Zelensky loses his job!

                                          Haha yes I came by that theory the other day.

                                          There have been some ruckus going on in South Korea lately. Lets see if the South Korean president have to step down, after all he shook hands with Zelensky:

                                                Hilarious and so typical for the western allies: After the anti-war candidate in Romania won the first round of the presidential election, the result was today suddenly annulled and claimed *surprise surprise* that bots and Russia somehow might be “behind” the outcome of the election!

                                                And in the US the deep state/media also try hard to block Tulsi Gabbard, anonymous sources stepping forward and say that she read…RT! What a crime!

                                                You cannot make up these articles. What if it was the other way around here. That a pro-ukrainian candidate was about to win the election in Romania and then the authorities just annulled the result?! Or if a Russian candidate was blasted for reading any western news source!?

                                                  Fortnite, you make a very important point. Because this war is not against Ukraine, it is against NATO.
                                                  It was so from the very beginning.
                                                  I remember quite perfectly my excitement and fear back in December 2021, when Russia turned to NATO with some draft treaties and demanded to give us a guarantee that NATO activity in Ukraine isn’t pointed at Russia’s security. This moment I remember because I tried to drive Mr Murray’s attention to the development.
                                                  Then, it became clear that Ukraine intentionally sabotage the Minsk agreement.
                                                  Our representative Kozak made an interview after the last round of the negotiations.
                                                  He said: “I don’t know how to proceed. This time they (*Ukrainians) pretended that they don’t understand the meaning of the word (*in the text of the agreement), so we had to bring Cambridge Dictionary to show them.”
                                                  I posted it then in 2022
                                                  https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2022/02/how-the-establishment-functions-the-real-dark-web/comment-page-2/#comment-1008975

                                                  After the war started, Russians were banned everywhere. For me, the most painful pain was Etsy. I’m a handmaker and I’ve been on Etsy since about 2010. Lots of friends among fellow artisans and customers. And most of them stopped their friendship, just turned silent on Etsy, and Facebook, and Instagram.
                                                  Well, most, but not all. One of those friends contacted me via e-mail, asking what is going on on our side. I said that here the conflict is seen as Russia-NATO, also it’s clear that ‘the West’ is going to present it as Russia-Ukraine war. She answered it’s a well-known technique in their media and even used a special word for it. Sorry I don’t remember it exactly, it was something like ‘spin-off’ or sort of.

                                                    I was told recently at universities in Europe professors force Russian PhDs to break off their studies and do NOT let them finish. The Russians have to leave the country eventually.
