"THIS IS NOT A BLUFF"

Putin:

Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons and any other means of mass destruction in case of a threat to territorial integrity.

At the referendum in the Kherson region and in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, 750 thousand people will vote - the ballot will contain only one question in Ukrainian and Russian

Kherson region is completely ready to hold a referendum, said Marina Zakharova, chairman of the Kherson region election commission. The composition of eight election commissions has already been approved, the polling stations where voting will take place, as well as the form of the question, have been determined.

In order to vote, you will need either a passport of Ukraine with a residence permit, or another identity document, including a Russian passport, which was obtained in the region. Observers will be involved in the voting, and the ballots will be in two languages ​​- in Russian and Ukrainian, they will have only one question.

Its wording is determined in accordance with all norms of international law, the head of the TEC stressed. There are 750 thousand people on the lists of voters in the Kherson region - according to sociological research, at least 80% of all voters will come to express their will. The results, in turn, will be announced five days after the end of the referendum.

Residents of Aleksandrovka and Snigirevka of the Nikolaev region will also be given the opportunity to vote. In addition, the issue is being resolved regarding those citizens who are not in the Kherson region. There will definitely not be online voting due to the technical backwardness of Ukraine as a whole, but there will be foreign TECs - Kherson residents will be able to vote in the LPR, DPR and Zaporozhye region

🇷🇺 What will Russia get after the referendum?

▫️Russia will add 5 to 6 million new citizens.

▫️In the future, when refugees begin to return, the total population of the new regions may grow to 8-9 million people.

The area of ​​the liberated territories where the referendums will be held is about 113,000 square kilometers.

▫️In terms of area, this is larger than Bulgaria, Cuba or South Korea.

▫️The population is larger than Belgium, Belarus, Israel or Austria.

❗️UK’s MI-6 reportedly relayed intelligence to Volodymyr Zelenskyy that that the Russian army is preparing strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure if Ukraine tries to disrupt referendums in Russian-controlled territories.

British intelligence also recommends that the security of nuclear power plants/CHPPs/CHPs be strengthened to preserve Ukraine's ability to survive the winter.

MI-6 also claims that the Kremlin has agreed to tactical nuclear strikes against the Ukrainian military. UK claims that the Russian army is ready to raise the stakes and has prepared several targets for these strikes, one of which is the Yavoriv test site.

Nobody gives a ff what a bunch of unelected Stupid EUrocrats "think".

Well, MI6 "intel" only excels in producing crappy fac similes of Monty Python sketches.

I spent a good deal of the day going though the usual Think Tankland slush in my inbox. Delusion, wishful thinking, disinformation, misinformation, crappy propaganda and outright stupidity once again reaching mind-boggling levels.

Oh, Russia is so weak. Putin is on the ropes. The internal front is cracking. Only lemmings with an IQ way below room temperature may fall for it. But that's how cheap Think Tankland P.R. works (and the EU branches have carved a Special Niche of Stupid).

SMO 1.0 was a velvet glove slap. SMO 2.0 is pain dial up BIG time - and still not that much.

The partial mobilization may be enough to go all the way to Odessa - but not to take Kiev and securely hold an over 1,000 km-long frontline. So there may be another one next year.

But airstrike power now will be a bitch, and the MoD will go all out on total destruction of strategic infrastructure. A stunned NATO won't take it lyin' down. This is gonna be messy, bloody and yes: now it's real war.

This has been specialy timed to the UN General Assembly.

Readers from Africa have been asking for a column for a long time now. I'm the Eurasian guy, wish I had much more time to travel and follow Africa's trials and tribulations - but that's impossible. This column only scratches the surface. But you'll get the drift.

🇬🇧 The real US agenda in Africa is hegemony
In a rational environment, the 77th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) would discuss alleviating the trials and tribulations of the Global South, especially Africa. That won’t be the case. Like a deer caught in the geopolitical headlights, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued platitudes about a gloomy “winter of global discontent,” even as the proverbial imperial doomsayers criticized the UN’s “crisis of faith” and blasted the “unprovoked war” started by Russia. (By Pepe Escobar)

"Why will the war start? Huge capitals, trillions of dollars have nowhere to invest. The only way out for the US is to start a war in some part of Europe, and then a new Marshall plan. First, to supply weapons, and then to rebuild the destroyed Europe. Money demands war, money knocks. That's why Donbass is being bombed every day so that everything is destroyed, the whole of Ukraine and the whole of southern Europe are next. Everything will be in ruins. Prepare for mobilization. Partial!": It is more and more necessary to create some kind of state structure for the study, systematization and use of the prophecies of Zhirinovsky

Prophet Zhirinovsky. Spot on.

Absolutely STUNNING speech by Colombia's Gustavo Petro - weaving a Garcia Marquez-inspired literary elegy to his "bloody beauty" land.

He calls for the end of the imperial "war of drugs"; incriminates "irrational global power" that blames "the jungle" and not "the market" for profiting from the drug trade; and takes Galeanos's "Open Veins of Latin America" to new horizons. A tour de force that should make every Latin American - and every citizen of the Global South - immensely proud.
