Iranian Coup Of '53
Iran happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, if you were not a part of the West or the East bloc during the cold war, chances are you may have had CIA officers or British agents roaming around your country trying to start shit, Iran was not a stranger to this, mostly.
The difference is that Iran by 1953 has already been torn up and divided by European powers, the Russian Empire - and then later the USSR, generally occupied or influenced the northen part of the country, with the British taking the lower half, a feast for them, as one would say.
The kings and leaders at this time were weak, and when you are trapped by 2 empires, it's not going to be easy for you to break out of it.
One of those kings, who's name disgusts me that I refuse to refer to him by name, granted the British empire extremely exclusive rights to oil found on Iranian soil, and as you can tell, this did not age well.
British oil production in Iran was nationalized by London, they openly intervened in revolutions against the king, and were overall showing ill treatment of the locals.
After a Constitution was introduced in 1906, there the office of the prime minister in it's modern form popped up, and a delicate power balance existed between the King, who still had executive powers, and the Prime Minister.
The Persians had enough of foreign intervention and the lack of a functioning state, and so the King was deposed in a coup in 1921, in favor of a general who himself became king in 1925, his name may sound familiar, that is Reza Shah.
Reza Shah was a pragmatic statesman, he introduced many policies, but also cracked down on several oppositional figures in the country for the sake of peace and prosperity, one of then would be the future prime minister, Mohammed Mosaddegh.
Reza tried to play the British, Soviets, and Germans against each other, it didn't work out well and he was invaded in 1941.
His son, the infamous Mohammed Reza, the very same king who would be deposed in 1979, took after his father.
People had enough of the British and at this point were standing at the ready with pitchforks, and that happened with Mohammed, the prime minister, nationalized the oil.
The British, to put it bluntly, seethed and coped like an angry woman tearing her hair out, they immediately rejected attempts at negotiations and started to plan the overthrow of Mohammed.
The British did everything they could, they refused to share technical knowledge, documents, and their navy blockaded some oil fields in Iran, they also froze sand sanctioned Iranian funds in British banks.
The British bribed politicians, army governors and key businessman to cease their support of Mohammed, they also convinced the Americans that Iran is in reality a Soviet puppet, you know what that means.
Mosaddegh was deposed, sent to prison, and was put under house arrest until his death, the army took control, and the king was supreme.
Massive purges took place, and Iran ceased to be an independent country and became nothing more than a lackey for Washington, until the 1979 revolution.

⚡️ DTEK chief: Ukrainians should consider leaving country during winter to save energy.
Maksym Tymchenko, the CEO of Ukraine’s largest private energy company DTEK, said Ukrainians should consider finding an alternative place to stay for the winter if possible amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, reported BBC.
Tymchenko said reducing household energy consumption will help secure supply to critical facilities, such as hospitals housing injured soldiers.

Stage 1 – Political ‘Cleansing’
In Poland, NATO has already designated a group of Russians for power, who have largely exiled themselves from Russia, and consist of disgruntled oligarchs, fraudsters, conspiracy theorists, propaganda whores, foreign agents and sociopathic mercenaries. Let’s call this the ‘Tinkoff Government’. As NATO tanks ‘liberate’ the capital, firing indiscriminately at civilians as they come, and looting their way to the Kremlin, they will bring with them the new government of the free, democratic Russian Federation. They will seize all of the media buildings first, and arrest journalists they consider connected to the former regime. If they can’t find the journalists they want, they will arrest proxies. Those that remain in their jobs, mainly technical staff, will be given new bosses with a pre-arranged series of broadcasts announcing the new ‘Tinkoff Government – Liberators of the People’.
'Tinkoff' will become the ‘temporary’ dictator of the RF, and use the emergency powers of the previous government to maintain order, and to keep a sense of continuity with the old regime. He will portray his seizure of power as a legal and constitutional act. To safeguard the people he will declare all political parties in Russia illegal, and he will ban any displays of media, flags, or signs from the previous era. This will include religious and Soviet symbols as he will rule them fascist organisations. The new, and final, President of the Russian Federation will then issue arrest warrants for all the previous politically significant chiefs, including all Duma Deputies, Governors and members of the previous government. He will seek to find as many members of the old regime as possible, including bloggers, celebrities, local mayors, sportsmen, comedians, and anyone at all, to suggest that the 'Tinkoff government' is progressive and friendly. Citizens who turn against their former leaders will be rewarded, and gradually they will use the new regime to settle scores against their neighbours. Businessmen will have their property seized because of their loyalty to the old regime, and some businessmen will actively work for the 'Tinkoff government' for personal gain. Foreign ‘advisors’ will be visible everywhere. Within a short time, a new judiciary will be appointed, which will oversee the political trials. In the end, most of the former low-level apparatchiks will be released back to their jobs on the promise that they will obey the 'Tinkoff Government' in all things.
During this early phase of the take-over, 'Tinkoff' will seek to stabilise society with a mixture of bribery, political and extra-judicial assassinations, military force, and ‘progressive’ policies designed to appeal to women. All political promises beneficial to the people will never happen because of Stage 2.
Stage 2 – Economic ‘Appropriation’
The first business to be taken over, will be Gazprom. This will quickly be followed by all the mining industries, power stations, and heavy industrial enterprises. This will be done by declaring all existing shareholder agreements void, and issuing new shares to 'Tinkoff' and his Western backers. For the new regime this is the whole point of the destruction of Russia, so this will be a priority, and will start immediately, even before the whole country is under control of the 'Tinkoff Government'. If there is any resistance from the former owners, the military will be sent in to ‘secure’ the assets. The old money will inflate into dust, to be replaced by a new currency, linked to the US Dollar. This will be issued by the banks now under control of 'Tinkoff' and his friends. It should go without saying that any surpluses derived from the new economic reality will leave Russia for the West.

(Continued) Stage 3 – Federal ‘Restructuring’
Within six months of the take-over, 'Tinkoff' will announce a new Federation of autonomous regions and free ethno-nationalist states. Autonomous regions on western borders will vote to join neighbouring European countries. Kaliningrad will be split between Poland and Lithuania. After Belarus is invaded and occupied, it will be divided between Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland, and whatever is left will be absorbed into a new state called the ‘White-Russian Republic’, or some such pseudo-historical nonsense. Belgorod, Kursk and Voronezh will be given to Ukraine, and Karelia to Finland. Sakhalin and the Kurils will be given to the US colony of Japan, and Kamchatka to the US itself. All the ethnic groups will have their ‘independence’, whether they want it or not, under the ‘supervision’ of the United Nations. These new nations will then ask the United States to help them with their security problems, especially the new republics bordering China.
Stage 4 – Personal ‘Freedom’
In the new reality, the former Russian citizens will be allowed to be poor, but have the freedom marry a tree, service a U.N. peacekeeper (ask the Africans), create wealth for Western kleptocrats, but never be able to afford the things they produce (ask the ordinary U.S. citizens), and be free call yourselves whatever you like, but never a patriotic Russian (ask the English). Consumerism will be mandatory, and traditional ideas will be mocked and derided. Traditional ways of life will be put into a museum, and globalist ‘culture’ will take over. Serious intellectuals will be challenged and marginalised in favour of bloggers and actors, who are famous for nothing, and debase the language with slang, and express themselves by showing the world pictures of their private lives and sharing their sex videos. ‘Me’ will take over from ‘we’, because ‘me’ is weak, and ‘we’ are strong.
Author’s Note
The article above is not fantasy. There is indeed a self-declared government in exile in Poland, staffed by precisely the people I describe. Biden has wished for regime change in Russia, as Bush did for Saddam Hussein, Clinton did for Milosevic, and Obama did for Assad. Zelensky has explicitly stated it many times. The rest is inferred from the actions of NATO countries in Iraq and Afghanistan. This dismantling of both those countries, and the attempt on Syria were identical.
Stage 2 fits the model for Iraq, but also, in slow motion, for Europe. Inflation and de-industrialisation takes wealth, and power from local elites and the native population. This is the colonial model of control the US operates in Latin America.
Stage 3 is outlined in the CIA-backed, and European sponsored, organisation known as the ‘Forum for the Free Peoples of Post-Russia’. It is an attempt to pre-shadow the new political structure by setting up ‘popular front’ of existing opinion, to which the new regime can ‘respond’. This is similar to operations carried out in South-East Asia and China. For analogues see the ‘Uyghur Freedom Forum’, the ‘Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong’, and the ‘Free Burma Rangers’. All of these are front organisations for the CIA-backed ‘National Endowment for Democracy’, as are nearly all organisations with “human rights”, “freedom”, or “democracy” in their name.
Stage 4 is obvious to anyone paying attention. I’ll leave it to the reader to work out why.

I am not even Russian, and I find this shit.
We refuse to recognize the Ukrainian language as a separate one, your institutions that are still functioning were the ones the Communists left when the state collapsed, you were the center of Soviet Production, you had the largest shipyards on the Black Sea, you inherited the second largest country in Europe, with the second largest army, and, resource wises, the second most richest land, let's also not forget that the Russian federation paid Ukraine's debt as its own.
Instead you became a shithole, you're the poorest country in Europe, and Ukraine has not contributed anything useful to the global community in the last 30 years.

⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on November 22
⚠️ZNPP saga
The IAEA has revealed damage to the cooling system of the ZNPP. According to the latest update released by the agency on Monday, despite the “status of the six reactor units is stable”, IAEA experts still observed widespread damage across the site. “This is a major cause of concern as it clearly demonstrates the sheer intensity of the attacks on one of the world’s largest nuclear power plants,” Director General Grossi said.
The team’s observations included damage to condensate storage tanks that caused non-radioactive leaking, several impacts on the main road along the plant’s reactors as well as on a site railway that is out of service, a pressurised air pipeline hit by shrapnel, two impacts on the roof of a special auxiliary building, minor visible damage to a sprinkler charging pipeline, as well as two impacts in a guardhouse area.
🆘Facing the people
Russian President Vladimir Putin may hold a meeting with the mothers of the Russian servicemen this week, three sources close to the presidential administration told Vedomosti. The event will be timed to coincide with the Mother's Day holiday, which is celebrated on November 27, Sunday, said one of the sources. The Kremlin is yet to announced the date or to confirm such meeting.
Notably, Russian media reported previously that the large annual press conference which is traditionally held in December as well as Putin’s “direct line” with citizens (where he answers all sorts of questions from people) could be postponed to next year, or till the “operation” is over.
⚔️Superhero mayor
Alexander Sapozhnikov, the mayor of Chita, a major city in Russia's Far East, has announced his decision to go and fight in Ukraine. ”As a paratrooper with combat experience, as a citizen, I cannot stay away from the fateful battle of our Motherland for the right to a future that we received from our ancestors. It is my duty and my vocation to stand up for our country again," Sapozhnikov wrote. He was hailed as the first top ranked official to voluntary get mobilized.
⭕️Finding scapegoats
As Kommersant have learned, the 235th garrison Military Court of Moscow sent Colonel Ivan Deadishchev, who was working at the main Mobilization Department of the General Staff of the armed forces, and was responsible for conscription for military service, for two months under house arrest.
He is accused of receiving a bribe in a form if a washing machine worth over 70,000 rubles from the military commissar of the Joint Military Commissariat (UWC) Ramenka. The colonel fully admitted his guilt.
♨️Russia at COP27
Countries closed this year's COp27 on Sunday with a hard-fought deal to create a fund to help poor countries being battered by climate disasters, even as many lamented its lack of ambition in tackling the emissions causing them.
Meanwhile, as The Moscow Times notes, The Russian delegation at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh spent two weeks lobbying for nuclear power as a fossil fuel alternative in an attempt to retain its stranglehold on global energy systems. It also lobbied for the lifting of Western sanctions on Russia to allow it to join the fight against climate change, as if nothing else were going on in the world right now.
“And if there was some hope this time last year that the urgent necessity of tackling the climate emergency would bring us together, the war has only served to expose further divides that make any form of coordinated action virtually impossible for the foreseeable future,” the report says.

We are being asked by readers to respond.
Once again: this video is going around all Ukrainian resources as something amusing: a man in uniform tied up with duct tape was forced to lie in a coffin for this recording.
It is not known exactly who is in the video. This is how a civilian, who was accused of being pro-Russian, could also have been handled by the Nazis.

The EU wants to close access to Russian media completely
In March of this year, the EU banned the broadcasting of the RT channel and the Sputnik agency in its territory. At the same time, the French satellite operator Eutelsat and Luxembourg's SES continued to provide them with broadcasting services in the EU, Russia, Africa, and Ukraine.
The current EU legislation does not allow banning the broadcasting of all Russian channels in the EU.
▪️ A group of 39 MPs believes that satellite broadcasting should be included in the next package of sanctions against Russia.
They suggested that the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrel, prescribe in the sanctions "a complete ban on the broadcasting of Russian TV channels and radio stations" under the pretext of fighting "disinformation" about the conflict in Ukraine.

🇺🇦Security Service of Ukraine conducting searches in Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
The stated purpose of the searches: "to prevent the use of Lavra as a cell of the 'Russian world', check data on the use of UOC premises for hiding members of armed groups, foreign nationals, storage of weapons, protection of population from provocations and terrorist acts".
The Lavra is one of the most important Orthodox spiritual centers on the entire territory of the former Russian empire. Founded in 1051, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are over a hundred burials in the Lavra, including Orthodox saints, early princes of Kiev Rus and Pope Clement I. The significance of the Lavra to Orthodox Christians in Ukraine, Russia and beyond is immense.

⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on November 23
🩸Oil price cap
The Treasury Department released new guidance on the legal seaborne transport of Russian oil for U.S. service providers ahead of December 5 deadline for the policy to be put in place The guidance, which complements the U.K.’s newly-released policies, outlines how U.S. service providers can continue carrying Russian seaborne oil that was loaded before Dec. 5, while complying with a strategic price cap on that oil devised by the G7 countries, the E.U. and Australia.
The guidance explained that Russian oil that had been sold under the cap but was then “substantially transformed” or refined outside of Russia would no longer be subject to the sanctions. It also provides a “safe harbor” provision that protects insurers and other financial service providers from liability if they violate sanctions based on falsified information about the price of oil in shipping transactions.
The Price Cap Coalition has not yet decided on how much to cap the price of oil, but the cap will be set after a “technical exercise” conducted by the coalition, according to the guidance. The decision will be made “in the coming days,” a senior Treasury official said.
💧EU’s Gas price cap
The European Union executive on Tuesday proposed a gas price cap for the bloc at 275 euros ($282) per megawatt hour for month-ahead derivatives on the Dutch exchange that serve as Europe's benchmark. The idea to cap prices has divided EU countries for many months and diplomats said the level proposed on Tuesday was unlikely to be popular when energy ministers from the bloc's 27 member countries debate it on Thursday.
However, according to La Republic newspaper, EU could postpone the decision on the gas price cap till until December, as not all countries agree to the marginal price proposed. A month earlier, the same newspaper reported that the adoption of this decision would be postponed until November.
🇷🇺🇨🇺Russia courts Cuba
Vladimir Putin and President of Cuba Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez held talks in Moscow, where they noted they relations between Cuba and Russia have been making steady headway.
“You know that the Soviet Union and Russia have always supported and support the Cuban people in their struggle for independence and sovereignty. We have always opposed any restrictions, embargoes, blockades and so on. We have always backed Cuba on international platforms. We are seeing that Cuba occupies the same position with respect to our country, to Russia, Putin told his Cuban counterpart.
Before the talks, leaders unveiled the monument to Fidel Castro. The tender for a 3-m tall monument was released by the Russian Defense Ministry. A closed competition for the architecture vision was held by the Russian Military Historical Society (RVIO). Sculptor Alexey Chebanenko and architect Andrey Bely won the competition and delivered the project in just few months.
🧊🛥Route to Arctic
Before launching the monument to Fidel Castro, Putin attended another big launch — via videoconference — of the Yakutia nuclear-powered icebreaker and to raise the flag of the Russian Federation on the Ural nuclear-powered icebreaker. They are part of Project 22220, under which the largest and most powerful icebreakers in the world are being built. Their main task is to ensure year-round navigation in the Arctic.
✈️MH17 investigation
The Dutch Prosecutor's Office will announce new findings of the investigation into the MH17 case in 2023. Data on the crew of the Buk anti-aircraft missile system, that is believed to have been operating it at the time when flight MH17 was shot down near Donetsk, will be made public. In addition, the Dutch Prosecutor's office will inform how and by whom it was decided to use the Buk that shot down a civilian aircraft, press secretary of the Dutch Prosecutor's office, Brechtje van de Mosdijk, told RIA Novosti.

🇩🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺The Financial Times writes about a wave of protests against the continuation of the war with Russia unfolding in East Germany.
It is reported that people there hardly ever walk around with Russian flags and do not speak out in support of the Russian army. But they are outraged that "Germans are paying for the US war with Russia".
They call Germany a "US and NATO puppet" and say they want normalised energy prices.
"Most of these rallies are attended by a few hundred people, others only a few dozen. But, as with similar gatherings elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe, they point to a worrying trend in the political mainstream in the region," the British newspaper reported.
The two extreme poles of Germany's political spectrum - left and right - show support for this view. In Leipzig, the largest city in eastern Germany after Berlin, they even came out in a single rally.
The publication also recalls the support of such views by a significant part of the population in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. However, so far there is no upward trend in the number of followers of this position.
