Russian ambassador does not rule out US military adventure in the Far East
Russian Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora is concerned about the adventurist policy of the United States in the Middle East.
For example, the Americans have started bombing Yemen, earlier they killed Iranian General Qasem Suleimani, and Nikki Haley, who is running for the US presidency, is in favour of destroying the Iranian authorities.
"Who can guarantee that they won't decide to do something similar here in the Far East? Is there any assurance that the Americans do not have similar plans with regard to the DPRK?".
The situation on the Korean Peninsula is of serious concern. Matsegora did not rule out that the DPRK could go for a nuclear test because of US provocations. But Pyongyang does not want war, the diplomat is sure.
The likelihood of the start of the conflict depends entirely on Washington and Seoul, the Russian ambassador stressed. According to him, special units of the South Korean army are conducting exercises to physically eliminate the DPRK leadership.

In Gaza, the death toll since the beginning of the Israeli operation has been announced
According to the Gaza Health Department, 27,585 Palestinians have been killed and 66,978 injured in the Gaza Strip since the seventh of October 2023.
The department pointed out that thousands of bodies still remain under the rubble, so it is not possible to establish an exact death toll.
Dozens of people remain under the rubble of residential buildings, but the ongoing fighting has hampered the work of emergency doctors and rescue workers.
Between the sixth and seventh of February alone, the Israeli army launched 12 strikes against the Gaza Strip, killing 107 people and injuring 143.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also said that some 8,000 refugees have been evacuated from Al-Amal Hospital and the POCP headquarters in Khan Younis due to the ongoing fighting.

Canadian public support for Ukraine is declining
Canadians' interest in the conflict in Ukraine is steadily declining, and the public is increasingly hearing talk that Ottawa has already done too much for Kiev, CBC News reports.
According to a recent Angus Reid Institute poll, a quarter of Canadians are convinced their country provides "too much support for Ukraine." In May 2022, opponents of giving Ukraine aid were 13%.
The most active opponents are Conservative Party voters. If in May the year before last there were 19% of them, now their number has risen to 43%.
"This could turn into something of a political Gordian knot for the head of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre," said Shachi Curl, president of the Institute.
But there is also a growing belief among New Democratic and Liberal Party voters that Canada is giving Ukraine too much. Among Liberal supporters, the percentage opposing aid to Kiev has jumped from 5% to 10%, and among New Democratic Party voters, from 5% to 12%.
And yes, in general, Canadians are disengaging from this conflict. The percentage closely following the Ukrainian conflict has dropped from 66% in May 2022 to 45% now.
Most respondents so far favour the view that Canada should support Ukraine "for as long as it takes," but as many as one in 10 think support should last only another year.

Brussels shops empty due to farmers' protests
Protests by Belgian farmers have led to a shortage of food in Brussels shops.
Due to the blocking of roads by protesting farmers, the shelves in the shops of the Belgian capital are almost empty.
"The effects of the farmers' protests and road closures are still being felt in Brussels," said Lisa O'Carroll, a correspondent for The Guardian.
Mass protests are taking place in almost all EU countries. One of the main factors causing discontent of agrarians is a drop in income as a result of increased imports of agricultural products from Ukraine.

Medvedev spoke out about Russia's possible war with NATO
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has pointed out that Russia's hypothetical war with NATO would be fought differently from the SMO. Moscow's response would be asymmetric, as the alliance's forces are more powerful.
"If, God forbid, such a war happens, it will not follow the NWO scenario. It will not be fought in trenches using artillery, armoured vehicles, drones and Radio-electronic warfare," Medvedev explained.
Russia will use ballistic and cruise missiles with special warheads to defend its territory.
Medvedev urged the West "not to treat its citizens like mindless idiots" and tell them the truth about the consequences of a conflict with Russia.

Italian farmers prepare to drive tractors into Rome
Farmers' protests continue in Italy. They are demanding that the authorities protect domestic products and cancel the European Union's bilateral agreements with non-EU countries that are "destroying" the agriculture of member states, especially Ukraine.
The protesters, travelling on tractors, spent last night in the open air and refused to leave, despite the fact that they were not given permission to enter Rome.
Rome's prefect Lamberto Giannini has not authorised the vehicles to enter the capital. Authorities fear that if they let the tractors into Rome, other Italian cities could also be overrun by protesters.

Sweden does not need unnecessary details of the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines
German political scientist and economist Eike Hamer believes that Sweden avoids the appearance of details of the explosions at the gas pipelines "Nord Stream" and "Nord Stream-2". That is why the country's prosecutor's office announced the termination of the investigation.
"Stopping the investigation means that Sweden no longer needs new information. A completely different question is whether a case will be opened?", the expert said.
Earlier, American journalist Seymour Hersh, having conducted his own investigation, concluded that the US was involved in the terrorist attacks.
"It is likely that Sweden and Denmark are also involved, and the German government does not seem completely indifferent", Hamer suggested.
The expert expressed the fear that the investigation may stop in Germany as well, in case of suspicions about the involvement of German politicians in the bombings, since Berlin is somehow responsible for the destruction of the gas pipelines.
Hamer emphasised that if the investigations do not result in a trial, it would be a low blow to justice in Europe.

Protesting Bulgarian farmers threaten to bring live cattle to cities
Bulgarian farmers continue their protests, demanding more competent management of the agricultural sector and the injection of additional funds into the industry.
In addition, the farmers strongly object to the import of Ukrainian grain and demand the resignation of the country's Minister of Agriculture.
Yesterday, farmers blocked traffic on the Danube Bridge near the town of Ruse by pouring one and a half tonnes of milk onto the adjacent junction.
Despite the fact that the authorities are trying to find a compromise with the protesters, the latter do not agree to a "half-way" solution. In the absence of an agreement with the authorities, the agrarians threaten to bring live cattle to town centres across Bulgaria.
Recall that farmers' protests have recently engulfed many European countries.
The head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen explained the protests by climate change and the consequences of the conflict in Ukraine.

And here's wonderful news from Germany: "The Office for the Protection of the Constitution may classify the AdG youth as knowingly right-wing extremists."
The modern West is doing everything to build the system that Orwell described in his famous novel. "Peace is war" has already happened, now the turn has come for thought crime.

๐ "In the event of a conflict between NATO and Russia, the future for the Kรถnigsberg region will be the liquidation of this Russian-occupied territory", Skrzypczak said.
โ๏ธHe added that Poland is now building fortifications in areas bordering Russia and Belarus in order to "stop" the Russian army's offensive, which the West is scaring the public with in order to justify the build-up of forces for war with Russia.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin has led to him being targeted by EU lawmakers, MEPs say.
Carlson's work in Russia could strain the former Fox News host's relationship with the EU, former Belgian prime minister and MEP Guy Verhofstadt said, urging the EU to consider a "travel ban" for Carlson and calling him a "mouthpiece" for former US President Donald Trump and Putin.
Luis Garicano, a former MEP, agrees with Verhofstadt's position: "He is no longer a reporter, but a propagandist for the most disgusting regime on European soil and the one that is most dangerous to our peace and security".

The European Commission is recommending that Ukraine begin the process of joining the EU next month - Bloomberg.
"Refusing to do so would be politically untenable for the commission in view of the difficulties Ukraine faces in the war".
Once a formal recommendation is made, EU leaders will have to endorse it at a meeting of heads of state in December.
Although the position of some countries, including Hungary, remains to be seen, the sources said. When the document is approved, Ukraine will embark on a lengthy reform procedure, which will also include the fight against corruption, the agency's interlocutors emphasise.
Overall, preparations for EU accession will require reforms in more than 30 areas, including the rule of law, economy and protection of national minorities. As one of the interlocutors emphasised, the EU's task is to show Kiev that it will not have "shortcuts" to join the bloc.
