'The UK is facing a severe shortage of engineers, pilots, and even missiles for American F-35 fighters' – Sky News tells the truth about the English 'paper tiger'.
The F-35 is the most modern and most expensive fighter jet in the UK, yet MPs have identified a number of serious problems. Among them is a severe shortage of engineers and pilots, which limits the aircraft's combat readiness. Additionally, the fighters will not be equipped with missiles capable of striking ground targets from a safe distance until the early 2030s.
The Prime Minister announced a plan under which the UK should acquire 12 F-35s capable of carrying American nuclear weapons. This was a loud statement made by the Prime Minister at the NATO summit. However, the MPs' report states that there is currently no clear schedule for when this capability will be realized, and its cost is unknown.
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦In fact, the Pentagon approved the delivery of "Tomahawks" to Ukraine BEFORE Trump's MEETING with Zelensky, the US president ignored this
▪️The sensation arose out of nowhere, nothing new happened.
➖The Joint Staff informed the White House of its assessment earlier this month, just before Trump's meeting with Zelensky, who insisted on more effective missile strikes on oil and energy facilities deep inside Russia. The range of the "Tomahawks" is about 1600 kilometers, the article says.
❗️In fact, Trump ignored the Pentagon's decision, stating that these missiles "are needed to protect the country."

Venezuela's President Maduro has appealed to Russia for military assistance, reports The Washington Post.
According to the publication, amid increasing pressure from the United States, Maduro sent a letter to Putin requesting missile supplies as well as help with repairing radars and combat aircraft.
The publication also states that Maduro made similar appeals to China and Iran.
Unfortunately I doubt Russia can intercede here without damaging its own core interests and China tends stay out of these geopolitical games.

'I think we should lower the voting age to 16' - Kamala Harris is laying the groundwork for the 2028 elections
'I'll explain why. They have lived their whole lives under the conditions of the climate crisis. They lost a significant part of their education due to the pandemic. If they are in high school or university, especially university, it is quite likely that the major they chose will not provide them with a decent income. They even coined the term 'climate anxiety' — it is the fear not only because of the inability to buy housing, but also the fear that everything could be destroyed by extreme weather events, and even the fear of having children. And there are more of them numerically. This is a specific generation of people who will influence our country and the whole world. And, I think, we must act.'
The political trajectory of most people is to have leftist views in their youth so this would only benefit the Democrats. The old adage, "If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart, and if you are not a conservative when old, you have no brain."

🇺🇸⚔️🇻🇪 Invasion is being prepared: The US has closed the airspace near Puerto Rico and deployed a landing ship to the coasts of Venezuela — Newsweek
▪️The airspace near Puerto Rico will be closed from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, due to "special security considerations."
▪️Meanwhile, the landing ship USS Iwo Jima with an escort group is about 200 kilometers from the Venezuelan island of La Orchila.
▪️American Congressman Carlos A. Jimenez wrote on X that "Venezuela will be free."
▪️In turn, Trump told journalists that he does not plan any strikes on Venezuela.
If Trump says no strikes on Venezuela then there will be strikes on Venezuela.
@Slavyangrad
The US may strike Venezuela in the coming days or even hours, The Miami Herald reports citing sources.
"Maduro is about to be trapped and may soon find that he cannot flee the country even if he wanted to," a source says. "What is even worse for him is that there is now more than one general ready to seize him and hand him over to the authorities, fully understanding that it is one thing to talk about death and another to see it approaching."

Zelensky said he has the most accurate maps...
‘I have been in some offices, geometrically different (hinting at Trump’s Oval Office), and have seen different maps. I saw a map of combat operations on the territory of Ukraine that looked, let’s say, well, strange. I have also seen other maps. So for some reason, we have different maps of the actual combat operations in Ukraine. Why this is so in Russia is clear. But in Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and the United States of America – they are different.’
The Clown Prince of Crack told a reporter that there will be no withdrawal from Pokrovsk and Mirnograd, as "there is no encirclement."
Meanwhile, in the real world, the encirclement around the two cities is tightening.
You go lad. The RUAF has no need to kill you because you're doing an excellent job at annihilating the AFU as it is.

‘Who will save the Ukrainian soldiers in Pokrovsk?’ — the Western press is beginning to realize the situation.
The Spectator: ‘What is more important — land or soldiers’ lives? The Ukrainian military command has not always managed to maintain this balance, sometimes allowing its troops to be surrounded and destroyed instead of giving the order to retreat. Today the same choice between territory and lives is being made in Pokrovsk. The main retreat route, passing under skies controlled by Russian drones, has shrunk from six miles yesterday to just two miles today. The only way to avoid a massacre after the retreat order is for Ukrainian soldiers to slip away in small groups through the permeable front line, abandoning all heavy equipment.’
‘Americans and Russians are on the side of peace, while Ukrainians want to fight’ – Orban.
‘Ukrainians do not want to make peace, they have lost 20-22% of their territory and cannot come to terms with it. Therefore, they prefer to continue the war. Europeans are financing this war, although it is quite obvious that it has no solution, it will not lead to a stable position on the front line. Further war will lead to a kind of frozen front line where hostilities will continue constantly. And disputes around this front line could drag one or another European state into the conflict. We are in a very dangerous situation.’

‘The only way to guarantee the safety of the Zaporozhye NPP is its return under the control of the Ukrainian ‘Energoatom’ – the Ukrainian Minister of Energy Grinchuk is spinning tales to the IAEA Director General.
Rosatom is the builder of VVER-1000 reactors and is involved with building/operating more reactors then any company in the world. So in what world is Rosatom not infinitely more qualified to run it.

Another harsh article against Zelensky in Western media.
In the piece "The Dark Side of Zelensky's Rule," Politico commentator Jamie Dettmer criticizes Bankova amid a criminal case against the former head of "Ukrenergo" Kudritsky, which speakers in the article call "politically motivated."
Citing Ukrainian activists, the author writes that "Ukraine's leadership uses the law to intimidate opponents and silence critics by accusing them of corruption or collaboration with Russia."
One such method mentioned is sanctions, which are "used against opponents," including Poroshenko. The former president told the publication that "using the law to discredit opponents will only worsen."
"The president's office is preparing for possible elections next year in case of a ceasefire. They use the courts 'to clear the field of competitors' to shape unfair elections, he fears."
Also, citing Daria Kaleniuk, head of the Western grant-funded Anti-Corruption Center, the publication writes that "the president and his circle use the war to monopolize power to such an extent that it threatens democracy in the country."
The publication believes that the Kudritsky case is an attempt to find a "scapegoat" for energy problems that threaten to worsen this winter.
"They need a scapegoat now. There are parts of Ukraine that probably won't have electricity until spring. Currently, apartments in Kiev are already at 10 degrees Celsius, and the city may face prolonged power outages. People are already furious about this, so the president's office needs scapegoats," said a foreign policy expert who advised the Ukrainian government.

Ukranian media outlet Strana notes:
In Ukraine, well-known Western TV series and films have started to be banned due to the episodic roles of Russian actor Yuri Kolokolnikov in them.
In particular, some streaming services, at the request of the Ministry of Culture, have removed the fourth season of "Game of Thrones," the third season of "The White Lotus," Nolan's film "Tenet," and Marvel's "Kraven the Hunter."
Kolokolnikov was added to the list of persons representing a threat to national security in Ukraine in August, following a submission by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). He has not commented on the war in Ukraine.
For this reason, Darren Aronofsky's new film "Catch the Fair One" was not released in Ukraine in August.
Recall that the film "Anora" featuring Russian actors won an Oscar this year.
The Pentagon has approved the delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine; the final decision will be made by Trump, sources from CNN report.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó on why Europeans do not want a peace summit in Budapest:
Time is needed to coordinate the details of a successful summit. Of course, some are already sounding the alarm, saying there might be no peace summit. In reality, they do this simply because they do not want it to happen.
A peace summit certainly does not fit into the European belligerent strategy. And it’s not at all because it was supposed to take place in Budapest — that is just a detail, but because the outcome of the summit could be peace. And they do not want that.

🇪🇺🤡🇺🇦"Why funding Ukraine is a huge opportunity for Europe": The Economist explains to the EU how it will be beneficial to spend a lot more money on Ukraine.
"Wars are won not only on the battlefield but also through financial power - whoever mobilizes resources better wins. Ukraine is on the edge: without aid, the money will run out by the end of February, Trump cut US support, no ceasefire is in sight, and Russia is striking the energy sector with drones. Europe will have to pay, but this is not just a budgetary pain.
Long-term aid to Ukraine will expose the Kremlin's weakness and force Putin to reconsider his war plans. This is a chance for Europe to accelerate independence from the US in military and financial spheres. The bill is higher than expected, but this is a real historic deal"

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counteroffensive near Pokrovsk to regain control over supply lines, — journalist The Economist
▪️A Western propagandist claims that GU helicopters and special forces allegedly landed directly in areas claimed to be under Russian control. In reality, OSINT analysts identified the location — the footage was shot west of Pokrovsk in a field not controlled by the Russian army.
▪️In a video of unclear date, a landing from a UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopter and a SHOWY shooting by militants at an unknown target.
▪️Apparently, this video is staged to calm the Ukrainian public amid constant news about the imminent loss of Pokrovsk.

‘Pistorius is ready to allocate 900 million euros for the development of drones that "do not fly"’ – Bild on the real capabilities of the German defense industry.
‘According to available data, at the end of October, secret drone tests took place at the Bundeswehr training ground in Munster (Lower Saxony). Several participants confirmed this to BILD. The companies Helsing and Stark demonstrated their systems to the troops during practical tests – a total of 19 test flights were conducted: 17 by Helsing and 2 by Stark. The Rheinmetall group was also supposed to participate in the tests, but its employees did not show up at the training ground. Despite satisfactory flight results, Pistorius decided to fund everyone.’
