❗️Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has arrived in the United States for a long-awaited meeting with US President Donald Trump, with the two leaders expected to discuss defence and trade ties amid the Washington-Beijing trade war.
⚡️In the wake of China tightening restrictions on its rare earths, the flow of Australian critical minerals into the US would be one of the major talking points during the summit on Monday.
⚡️The two leaders will also discuss the AUKUS pact – a trilateral security agreement between Australia, the US and the United Kingdom – that aims to counter China’s growing defence footprint in the Asia Pacific.

❗️The air alert in most regions has been lifted. Likely a training exercise, redeployment, or false alarm. Gerani were noted in the Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions a few minutes ago, and the air alert remains in place there. Reportedly, glide bombs are being used on Zaporizhzhia now as well. Russian air activity suggests a large scale missile attack may occur in the next 48 hours.

❗️Lets continue to look into continental politics, this time, in Australia itself. The selected individual: Senator Penelope Ying-Yen Wong, the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs.
In the post above, she too wishes everyone a happy Diwali. It seems, however, that she forgot to wish us all a merry Christmas on the account in 2024.. and 2023.. and 2022. For reference, Penelope was born in Malaysia. She has expressed support for the Israeli war in Gaza.

❗️Reporter: You said that Indian Prime Minister Modi told you on the phone that his country would supposedly stop buying Russian oil. But in India, they said they know nothing about this.
Trump - Well, then they will just have to keep paying high tariffs if they really said that. But I don't believe they said that. I talked to Modi, and he said he is not going to participate in the 'oil story' with Russia.

❗️Think about it this way. The year is 2025, not 2022. The Russian army is far from Kiev, far from Lvov, but everyday it inches closer. In what way does Poland benefit from encouraging the continuation of this war when they're not in any danger? Why won't NATO sit down with Zelensky and tell him that it's time to make peace, even if it means ceding land that is already held strongly by Russia? Instead, all of these countries continue to support and fund Ukraine's mission of self-destruction which has caused the loss of thousands of innocent Christian lives. It is apparent: NATO is not there to protect Ukraine, it is there to attack Russia.

❗Dmitry Peskov on whether the US has notified Moscow about refusing to supply "Tomahawks" to Kiev:
▪️ There can be no official notifications on this matter;
▪️ "We hear and listen to statements on this issue, and we are guided by them";
▪️ Moscow and Washington can also exchange positions on this matter during contacts at the working and expert levels.
The Russian Federation's negotiation line regarding the stopping of troops at existing positions remains unchanged, Peskov stated.

❗️Putin has just dismissed Igor Maslov, head of the president's department for interregional and cultural relations with foreign countries.
PS. Not sure if Igor Maslov's dismissal was because of misconduct or just a routine dismissal. One thing is for sure there are plenty of dodgy bureaucrats riding the gravy train embezzling funds from the Russian government under the guise of "cultural projects". This has been going on for years. These bureaucrats are to blame for sabotaging President Putin's strategy in relation to the informational war, Russia's soft power overseas and advancing pro-Russian interests through cultural collaboration.

❗️The Chinese Communist Party's Fourth Plenary Session also known as "The Fourth Plenum" is in full swing. Hundreds of members of the party's central committee meet behind closed doors until the 23rd of October to discuss a wide variety of issues, political and economic.
While there's typically one plenum per year, this weeks' may be one of the most important of the decade. Key topics of discussion will likely be American tariffs and the 15th Five-Year Plan which outlines goals for the Chinese economy between 2026 and 2030.

❗️Pro-Ukrainian mouthpiece Mick Ryan has just written a piece for the Lowy Institute furious that Trump's phone call with Putin is "disaster for Ukraine, and for America’s allies".
Mick Ryan who is a former ADF General complains that:
"the big decision about Tomahawks appears to have been shelved for now, if not all time, as a result of Putin’s lobbying of Trump. And Trump appears hellbent on some kind of ceasefire that freezes the conflict along current Ukrainian and Russian dispositions. A frozen conflict will only help Putin, hurt Europe and be disastrous for Ukraine."
😂PS. Great to see grubs like Mick Ryan wriggle and squirm in frustration..

❗️"Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace." - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The Polish like to say things like this in reference to themselves in WW2, when in reality, the situation here is very different. There have been plenty of conflicts resolved through territorial concessions.
After the Winter War, the Soviets got the buffer zone they wanted, and didn't attack again until the Germans and Finnish invaded the USSR themselves. A similar scenario seems to be brewing in Ukraine...
