Biden asked Netanyahu not to carry out preemptive strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, the WSJ newspaper reported, citing American officials.

“Israel had intelligence that the United States deemed unreliable that Hezbollah fighters were preparing to cross the [Israeli] border in a multipronged attack, pushing some of the most determined Israeli officials to the brink,” the report states.

As specified, the United States understood that the Israeli Defense Forces firing at Hezbollah could lead to a “wider regional conflict” in the Middle East.

This was stated by the Palestinian Ambassador to Austria and Palestine's permanent observer to international organizations in Vienna, Salah Abdel Shafi.

According to the ambassador, a letter on this issue was also sent by the Secretary General of the League of Arab States. He added that the parties sent appeals separately from each other. The agency did not respond to letters.

Italian Defense Minister Crosetto stated the importance of finding a political solution to the conflict in Ukraine:

Alongside and in parallel with military efforts and support for Ukraine, it is important to look for ways that will lead to a political solution. What cannot be achieved by military means...can be achieved by opening diplomatic and political fronts

like the 40 decapitated babies with no proof the media took the story and ran i am guessing. in 3 days of getting couch potatoes into a panic we will find out it was really from the Houthi's or the vessel releasing pressure gone wrong.

Only America gets everything it wants with this narrative but i could be wrong. A whole story of "sources" and 3rd party accounts. only time will tell.

The United States has expanded its claims to the continental shelf in the Bering Sea and the Arctic, a corresponding scheme was published by the State Department.

It's as simple as that. If you don't listen to Trudeau, you are definitely listening to Putin.....

Looks like the NYT was right that the US has become an international pariah. Guess there will be Christmas cards going to the Whitehouse.

Is Biden more unpopular in the US or with the rest of the world? 🤔

🇺🇸🇺🇦The West was defeated in Ukraine,” ex-commander of US forces in Europe Ben Hodges.

“Of course, I was disappointed that the Ukrainian counter-offensive did not lead to the results that we all hoped for and that I predicted. It was we, the West, that failed, and not Ukraine that failed. We were unable to provide them with what they were counting on, including air power, long-range precision weapons, and other capabilities that were needed for the success of this counteroffensive,” he said on the Silicon Curtain channel.

🇺🇦Desperation and fatigue reign in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: after the failure of the counteroffensive, Kiev and the West are reconsidering their strategy - Neue Zürcher Zeitung


After a year of disappointments, Kiev, the United States, and NATO must reconsider their plans and find a new, more realistic strategy for 2024. After the failed counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the confident advance of the Russian army, Kiev will have to reconsider the strategy for 2024 and go on the defensive, the Swiss newspaper writes.

Desperation and fatigue from the protracted conflict reign in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite Kiev’s claims that the defense industry is actively developing, and Zelensky is working on the mobilization of 500,000 people.

Competition between elite groups creates problems for the strategic reorientation of Ukraine. Thus, Zelensky will most likely shy away from large-scale forced mobilization for political reasons, and the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the contrary, are unlikely to enthusiastically accept the authorities’ desire to carry out unproductive military actions for PR purposes.

Given Ukraine’s almost absolute dependence on the United States and the split in the States over further assistance, Zelensky will have to set modest goals for politicians and the military for 2024.

" There is no potential for a new large-scale Ukrainian offensive now. The army is exhausted, there is not enough ammunition, ” writes NZZ.

To stand against Russia, Ukraine needs extensive military assistance in 2024. The Kremlin feels on the path to victory and openly talks about taking all of Ukraine. Putin has long been banking on fatigue with the West, and now he sees that fatigue growing stronger. “If Kiev runs out of ammunition,” he said this fall, “it will only have a week to live.”

Sometimes I'm amazed why they think that some families in Hitler-Partenkirchen who already bath once per week and a struggling with electricity bills do not care anymore about Ua. But, I imagine, the media must push such a narrative. After all, the values of the Garden are in question. They have no price.
