๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyanskiy on X/Twitter:

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Just to make things clear. The UN Security Council had a choice today between US draft giving a license to Israel to kill more Palestinian civilians and conduct ground operation in Gaza, and a Russian one, calling for immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Both drafts condemned what Hamas did on October 7, but US one ignored Israelโ€™s violations of International Humanitarian Law against civilians in Gaza. So donโ€™t be misled when US and its allies will shed crocodile tears about children getting killed in Gaza - they have just shown that THEY SIMPLY DONโ€™T GIVE A DAMN!"

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๐ŸŒMusk, Sacks, and the Voice of Sanity: A Blunt Expose of a Dying Hegemony

In a recent Spaces discussion on X, Elon Musk and David Sacks delved into the perilous folly of US policy with Musk lambasting the West's strategy in Ukraine, likening it to sending soldiers into a "meat grinder." Their dialogue covered the Israel-Hamas conflict, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and further unmasked the repercussions of Western sanctions pushing Russia closer to China, forging a burgeoning alliance starkly underlined by Musk.

Boomerang Western sanctions, aimed at stifling Russia, have instead nurtured a budding military camaraderie with China, an unanticipated consequence, yet a potent reality. Musk's elucidation of this trajectory warns of a world "sleepwalking into World War III," as the West, blindfolded by arrogance, continues its perilous march towards igniting a global conflagration. Musk's call for a nuanced and pragmatic approach is a refreshing contrast to the West's endless war posturing, a stance reminiscent of a doomed gladiator embroiled in a futile fight against the inevitable tide of multipolarity..

Amidst the heavy Western propaganda, the duplicitous machinations stand exposed, as the facade of 'weakening Russia' crumbles under the weight of its own fallacy. The West's ploys, marinated in hypocrisy, have only succeeded in igniting the flames of resistance, fanning the embers of a Russo-Chinese alliance poised to end US hegemony. Musk's critique, a rare voice of sanity amidst a chorus of bellicose drumbeats, echoes the sentiments of a world yearning for a respite from endless wars fuelled by Western belligerence.

The stark contrast between Musk and Sacksโ€™ sensible discourse and the West's bellicose antics unveils the moral chasm that defines Western geopolitics. As the call for a pragmatic approach reverberates, one is left to ponder - how long will the spectre of Western hubris continue to haunt the global stage, veiling the path to peace and cooperation?

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโ€œKievโ€™s counteroffensive is failing,โ€ writes the French Le Monde.

โ€œThe Ukrainian army is no longer making progress. Despite heavy losses, Moscowโ€™s forces, able to mobilize more people and equipment, regained the initiative, launching a large-scale offensive on Avdeevka on October 10,โ€ the publication writes.

Military and Western analysts made the same โ€œbitter observationโ€: the Ukrainian Armed Forces have made very little progress and, most importantly, are no longer advancing.

โ€œFive months of offensive operations have not made it possible to break through the Russian defense line. Ukraine retains some ability to put the Russian system in an uncomfortable position, but it is very unlikely that a breakthrough will occur this year,โ€ says RUSI analyst Jack Watling.

He predicts that the war will continue beyond 2024.

The publication writes that Ukraine has prepared about 35 000 soldiers to break through the Russian defense, and has been saving equipment and funds all spring.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆEmpty Shells, Empty Promises: EU Fails to Deliver on Pledge of Millions of Shells to Ukraine

In a glaring exposition of the West's faltering resolve, the pledge by the European Union to supply a million shells to Ukraine is teetering on the verge of collapse. Brussels, with its $22 billion fund earmarked for military aid, has only helped in exacerbating the conflict, one that Moscow continually warns against. This pledge, now at risk of being unfulfilled, stands as a testament to the empty rhetoric often spewed to maintain an illusion of supportโ€‹.

As we delve deeper into the hollow promises, the facade begins to crumble, revealing a cynical narrative propelled by the West. Using Ukraine as the tip of the spear in a futile attempt to weaken Russia, the West has shown nothing but contempt for the half-million dead Ukrainian soldiers. This, while knowing full well that Russia, with its military industrial output at an all-time high, has been steadily gaining ground. The delusion persists, fuelled by a false notion that a beleaguered Ukraine, even with the promised arms, could dent Russia's resolve.

The saga unveils the depth of cynicism inherent in the West's approach. Continually pressing Ukraine to the front lines, despite the obvious inefficacy and the human cost, reflects nothing but a nefarious agenda under a veneer of support. Russiaโ€™s industrial military complex, operating at peak efficiency, stands in stark contrast to the West's dwindling supply promises, painting a vivid picture of a desperate attempt to cling onto the illusion hegemony.

As the facade of Western support continues to crumble, one is compelled to question: How many more lives will be gambled on the chessboard of Western geopolitics before the hollow rhetoric is finally silenced?
