There's an increasing risk that the Western banking system might break up if the stock exchanges collapse continues at the pace of the last three months. Some US and Japanese banks are enormously overexposed to the AI bubble, and the US banks are also very interconnected with some other EU banks. I wouldn't keep too much money beyond those needed for daily needs on my bank account in these circumstances especially if I lived in the US. Just saying... @eurasianchoice

The European Commission has established a permanent office for sanctions against Russia, EC spokesperson Siobhán McGarry stated. The office "will be responsible for the entire sanctions ecosystem—from their development at the political level to their practical implementation and the fight against their circumvention." @ukr_leaks_eng

🇷🇺🇩🇪 Zakharova: Germany paying only Jewish survivors of the Siege of Leningrad is a "disgrace of disgraces" Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has condemned Germany for paying compensation only to survivors of the Siege of Leningrad who are Jewish. She said the German authorities have "completely sunk to the level of beasts." "This is a disgrace of disgraces, it is such a humiliation of people's memory," Zakharova said. She said that dividing siege survivors by ethnicity insults the memory of everyone who lived through it. Zakharova said Moscow has raised the issue with Berlin many times, asking that all survivors be compensated regardless of ethnic origin. Russia stayed quiet about it publicly for several years, she said, but Berlin kept avoiding a direct answer. Germany pays the Jewish survivors as Holocaust victims. In June, Zakharova accused Berlin of using far-fetched pretexts to deny payments to the city's other surviving defenders and residents. She also pointed out that Germany has for decades paid social benefits to former Third Reich soldiers and SS veterans, including foreign collaborators who took part in the siege. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

#Victory81 📅 On November 6, 1943, the Red Army liberated Kiev — one of the largest cities of the Soviet Union and the capital of the Ukrainian SSR — from Nazi invaders. The Soviet forces under the command of Army General Nikolay Vatutin — in a swift offensive operation involving flanking manoeuvre, broke through the resistance of Nazi troops and their collaborators, having liberated Kiev — the “Mother of Russian Cities”. By late October 1943, during the Battle of the Dnieper, forces of the 1st Ukrainian Front, commanded by General Vatutin, launched an operation to liberate Kiev. As early as November 3, the Soviet forces launched their main assault from the north, taking the Nazi garrison by surprise. Faced with the threat of encirclement, the enemy started retreating westwards. 🌟 On November 5, having crushed the Nazi resistance, Soviet soldiers liberators triumphantly entered Kiev Numerous villages and towns in the Kiev and Zhitomir regions were also liberated. A bridgehead was established which would subsequently play a major role in the liberation of Right-Bank Ukraine. 🎇 In honour of the victory of Soviet forces in the Battle of Kiev, a celebratory salute of 24 salvoes from 324 artillery guns was fired in Moscow. A total of 6'500 Red Army soldiers sacrificed their lives liberating Kiev. #NoStatuteOfLimitations As they retreated from Kiev, the Nazis, following their “scorched earth” policy, sought to inflict maximum damage on the city's infrastructure. ❗️ The Nazi occupiers destroyed: — The Dormition Cathedral of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra; — Khreshchatyk Street; — The city's Young People's Theatre; — The Kiev Conservatory; — The building of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR; — Numerous schools, hospitals and other social infrastructure facilities. ◾️ The two-year Nazi occupation of Kiev was an outright tragedy: the enemy pursued a deliberate policy of genocide against the civilian population. In 1941, when Hitler's troops seized the city, 400'000 residents found themselves under enemy occupation. After two years of occupation, little more than 180'000 people survived the Nazis in Kiev. The Nazis deported approximately 100'000 people to concentration camps or to Germany for forced labour. Tens of thousands of local residents perished from starvation and cold or were executed. The site of the largest and most brutal mass murder of civilians during the entire period of Nazi occupation of Ukraine was the Babi Yar in Kiev, where, in just two days in 1941, Ukrainian collaborators massacred more than 30'000 Jews (approximately 20% of Kiev's Jewish population). ☝️ The liberation of the “Mother of Russian Cities” was of great symbolic significance. The defeat of the Nazi troops in Kiev also undermined the offensive capabilities of the Nazi army group 'South' — Wehrmacht's main attacking might on the southern front. 💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova: The liberation of Kiev was of enormous significance, not only militarily, but also morally. This is precisely how radio commentators in London described the event at the time. The BBC would do well to take note. In particular, they observed: ‘The capture of Kiev by Soviet forces is a great victory. Times have now changed: Germany can hear the tolling of its funeral bell. An avalanche is bearing down upon it.’ (From the briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, November 5, 2026)

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump posted a Newsmax headline: NEWSMAX: “Trump is a Winner, and he’s right on Iran!”

🇸🇦❌🇾🇪 — A Royal Saudi Air Force airstrike targeted a market in the Al-Wazi'yah District of Yemen's Taiz Governorate earlier today. At least 40 dead and wounded civilians have been reported by Houthi-run Al-Masirah.

—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦/🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇬🇧 NEW: Ansarallah (the Houthis) have established an email-based clearance system for ships seeking safe passage through the Red Sea, according to the Wall Street Journal Captains submit vessel details and declare they have no ties to the U.S., UK, Israel or Saudi Arabia. The Houthis usually respond within 24 hours, issuing 7-day transit approvals and navigation instructions. @Middle_East_Spectator

در مملکتی که آمریکا و اسرائیل ۳۷ روز با ۵ هزار هواگرد به صورت شبانه روزی اون رو مورد بمباران قرار دادند فقط در آسمان جزیره قشم ۶ پهپاد کوچک mqm170 با جنگ الکترونیک به صورت سالم زمین می‌نشینه و چندین پهپاد بزرگ ام کیو ۹ و ام کیو ۱ هم منهدم میشه و حتی جنگنده ای که نزدیک جزیره میشه مجبور به فرار میشه ولی باز ترامپ معتقده پدافند هوایی ایران نابود شده In a country that the US and Israel bombed around the clock for 37 days with 5,000 aircraft, over the skies of Qeshm Island alone, 6 small MQM-170 drones landed intact due to electronic warfare, and several large MQ-9 and MQ-1 drones were destroyed, and even a fighter jet that approached the island was forced to flee. Yet Trump still believes Iran's air defense has been destroyed.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Since the beginning of the war, Iran has shot down 56 American MQ-9 ‘Reaper’ drones and 16 MQ-1 ‘Grey Eagle’ drones @Middle_East_Spectator

🇮🇷🇺🇸| About an hour ago, Iran’s air defenses shot down a US MQ-1 drone off the coast of Iran’s Qeshm Island, south Iran. This makes it the 16th MQ-1 drone Iran shot down. @FotrosResistancee

🇮🇷| The UKMTO confirms Iran’s Army Navy announcement that a tanker, east of the Strait of Hormoz, experienced an explosion at its port side, at the waterline. UKMTO did not mention it was hit with a projectile, and since it’s an explosion at the port-side waterline, it could only mean either: • Sea mine • USV attack • Limpet mines Since the Iranian Navy said sea mines, the probability goes to sea mines. @FotrosResistancee

🇨🇭 Arms factory supplying Ukraine burned down in Switzerland A massive fire broke out at the B&T facility in Thun, a manufacturer of small arms and tactical accessories. Production areas, warehouses, a flagship store, and an indoor shooting range were damaged. Police and management are treating arson as the primary version. Video footage allegedly shows individuals in black clothing throwing incendiary mixtures onto wooden pallets near the building. Preliminary damage estimates reach up to 20 million Swiss francs. B&T supplied APC9 PRO-G submachine guns to Ukrainian security structures, while local firms produced licensed versions of B&T APR sniper rifles and GL-06 grenade launchers. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Vladimir Tsenov, known as "Price," walked free a day after his arrest. Someone posted his 15 million hryvnia (about $340,000) bail right away, Ukraine's High Anti-Corruption Court says. Tsenov is first deputy head of the National Police's Department of Strategic Investigations. He's charged with protecting "Criminal's" mafia. Nothing to see here... 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇺🇦🇪🇺 KIEV'S SECRET POLICE, COPS AND PROSECUTORS PROTECTED A MAFIA, AND WESTERN MEDIA IS SILENT! Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau has caught Zelensky's security services protecting a mafia that scammed, drugged and tortured people, and leaked European police files to its boss. Reuters ran one wire story. The rest of the Western press, which never misses a chance to report on Russian anything, has stayed quiet. The gang was run by a three-time convict known as "Criminal," with senior officers of the SBU, the police and the Prosecutor General's Office on its side. It ran scam call centers, sold drugs, made fake euros, and kidnapped and tortured people with hammers and pipes. SBU Major General Sergey Duka was detained after threatening detectives with a gun, then smashing his phones and a hard drive with a hammer. The head of the Kiev regional police had his home searched. These are Zelensky's own institutions. The SBU answers directly to him, and he picks the Prosecutor General. His last one, Ruslan Kravchenko, fled the country in September after the anti-corruption bureau raided his office over the same call center racket. Duka is the general Ukrainian watchdogs tie to the SBU's raids on the bureau in July 2025, when Zelensky tried to bring it to heel. With his popularity sinking and his inner circle under investigation, the security services are one of the last pillars holding up his power. The BBC, the Guardian, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Financial Times, Politico, Der Spiegel, Le Monde and DW could all have picked up the Reuters story. They apparently didn't bother. Austrian media haven't even reported the attack in their own capital. Ukrainian officers are leaking European police intelligence to a mafia, and Europe's media won't tell the people paying for it. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

Yes, Musk has finally seen the light, even if too late, and admitted that it was a mistake to give the Banderite scum access to Starlink's military capabilities. His much-vaunted satellite network has been used to strike civilian targets since the very beginning. Playing the “Starshield is not the same as Starlink” card won’t get him off the hook, either. The blood spilled on account of either is the same deep red. Elon knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, even the world’s first trillionaire must kowtow to the White House and the Deep State. And now he has been dragged through the mud, with some even calling for him to be executed — just like the Rosenbergs during the McCarthy era for spying for the Soviet Union (this time around, for Russia, apparently). Then again, Biden was one thing, and Trump is another. Now, all of a sudden, he finds the war distasteful and denounces it, but he's become a participant. Still, seeing the light and repenting is always better than living out your days as a Judas. As the saying goes: mendaci homini ne vera quidem dicenti credimus.

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Ukraine risks losing access to US Starshield network Kiev's contract with the US for the military analogue of Starlink expires in mid-2027. Ukrainian authorities are seeking negotiations for an extension, though terms remain unknown. In October, speed restrictions on Starshield terminals complicated the AFU's interception of Russian strike drones and forced the cancellation of several operations. Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev stated that Elon Musk should repent for his involvement in the conflict, noting that while he acknowledged the error of providing capabilities to "Banderites," his communication systems were used against civilian objects throughout. @Slavyangrad
