Indeed. That is the point on so many sides of today's themes in the news.
As an example, "Officials said...."
Kyiv hit by biggest drone attack since war began Posted on 11/25/2023, 7:57:25 AM by marcusmaximus
One could look back to many other FR posted news with similar "sources say."
Sometimes a clear statement is made of a stance, such as:
"I would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin."

Would the above highlighted sentiment be yours as well?
You just gave yourself a Self-Inflicted wound....LOLOL
“but a wounded soldier left in the cold is as good as dead”
That tragedy is almost certainly occurring many times every night, because of Putin.
He deserves death many times over, for what he has inflicted on so many.
“Kyiv hit by biggest drone attack since war began Posted on 11/25/2023, 7:57:25 AM by marcusmaximus”
I went to the article for that post (from the BBC). Instead of “unnamed Government sources”, they quoted Kyiv’s mayor Vitaliy Klitschko and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Would the above highlighted sentiment be yours as well?” (World end or yield to Putin)
I don’t think the world will end, if we don’t yield to Putin. He must be defeated.
But being prepared to use nuclear weapons, is what deterrence rests upon.
Post Peak China:
China’s Global Economic Dominance Begins to Wane
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Chinas-Global-Economic-Dominance-Begins-to-Wane.html
“China’s share of the global economy dropped from 18.4% in 2021 to 17% in 2023, a 1.4% decrease in just two years.
This decline is attributed to a combination of fewer workers entering the labor force, high government debts, and slowing productivity growth.
Despite efforts by President Xi Jinping, China’s economic dominance is expected to continue declining due to various internal and external factors, including a shrinking workforce and a shift in foreign investments.”...
...”China’s decline could reorder the world. Since the 1990s, the country’s share of global GDP grew mainly at the expense of Europe and Japan, which have seen their shares hold more or less steady over the past two years. The gap left by China has been filled mainly by the US and by other emerging nations.
To put this in perspective, the world economy is expected to grow by $8tn in 2022 and 2023 to $105tn. China will account for none of that gain, the US will account for 45 per cent, and other emerging nations for 50 per cent. Half the gain for emerging nations will come from just five of these countries: India, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil and Poland. That is a striking sign of possible power shifts to come.”...
...”The ongoing baby bust in China has already lowered its share of the world working age population from a peak of 24 per cent to 19 per cent, and it is expected to fall to 10 per cent over the next 35 years. With a shrinking share of the world’s workers, a smaller share of growth is almost certain.”...
...”In nominal dollar terms, China’s GDP is on track to decline in 2023, for the first time since a large devaluation of the renminbi in 1994.”...
...”Investors are pulling money out of China at a record pace, adding to pressure on the renminbi. Foreigners cut investment in Chinese factories and other projects by $12bn in the third quarter — the first such drop since records began.”...
...”It’s a post-China world now.”
It is an amazing thing to here people like Elon speak of how Ukrainians are dying needlessly without ever bringing up Putin, like this is some kind of a Star Trek episode and the govt is sending them to some device to zap them
I am sure many are trolls, today’s back and forths show that. One liners, disparaging comment, but little content if any
Even if all of putins “fears” were true, big bad mail is coming for Ukraine it still doesn’t matter
The apologist really do make me feel ill. When I watch videos of men being blown up and writhing in pain, even though they are Russian is still feel sick, because it is not their fault they are there it is one man’s ultimate fault and they act as if he had no choice and beyond that it is perfectly justified
Many more people will die and most in horrible ways, and all they can come up with is nato, globullhomo, corruption, nazi, z is a dictator, elections…. Pot absolutely call the kettle black
Shouldn’t be shocked but I still am
Urals oil price (Russia’s main grade of oil) is back down near the price cap (around $62.50 on Friday, and diving for the last couple of weeks).
Costs remain elevated, and sanctions are being enforced on third parties more strongly the last couple of weeks as well (likely no coincidence - they seem to ease up when we want more Russian oil to lower prices, and tighten the noose on them when we don’t need it)
With many Russian refineries shuttered (about half) parts of their infrastructure may be vulnerable to damage from freezing.
When the real hard freezes are underway, there have been reports that a sabotage campaign is planned against Russian oil infrastructure, while freezing temperatures will magnify the damage.
Kyiv Post reports:
“Speaking at the Grain from Ukraine conference in Kyiv on Saturday, Nov. 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that partner countries have committed to transferring warships to Ukraine to enhance the safety of vessels navigating the critical “grain corridor” in the Black Sea...
...He emphasized that specific agreements for receiving the warships have already been made, making it a near-future reality.”
The Drone Wars have begun.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“The Domodedovo and Vnukovo international airports in Moscow oblast suspended operations after drones approached the Russian capital early on Nov. 26.
Flightradar data suggests departure flights are grounded.
Russian media claims 11 Ukrainian drones were shot down by air defense while one building in the city of Tula was hit.
Injuries were reported by local Russian media.”
” Tula (Russia) — a high-rise building was hit, the result of the enemy’s electronic warfare against the UAV. There are victims.”

Do you ever post anything intelligent?
Drone war intensifies.
ISW reports (25 Nov):
“Ukrainian Air Force Spokesperson Colonel Yuriy Ihnat reported that Russian forces attacked Kyiv with a new modification of Shahed drones and noted that these drones were black in color and contained a material that absorbs radar signals, making them more difficult to detect.
Russian milbloggers similarly claimed that Russian forces used “black Geran” or “Feran” (the Russian name for Shaheds) drones for the first time and claimed that these drones are more challenging to detect in the night sky.
Iranian media published footage on November 19 showing the Iranian Ashura Aerospace University of Science and Technology presenting the new Shahed-238 jet-powered modification of the Shahed-136 drone. The presented Shahed-238 appeared to be black in color, but it is unknown if Russian forces used the Shahed-238 modification during the November 25 strike.”
UKRAINE'S FAILED SUMMER OFFENSIVE:
Recently there have been many Keyboard Kommanders that have stated that Ukraine's summer offensive (06/14 - 11/25) was a failure. I decided to summarize this "failure" for them.
PS - Keep "failing" Ukraine! @StarskyUA @RealJakeBroe @ArturRehi pic.twitter.com/tQM5rOHSlX— Spartan News (@Spartan_News1) November 25, 2023
“There’s no f------ ‘dying the death of the brave’ here,” one soldier told his brother from the front in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. “You just die like a f------ earthworm.”
Maybe if you keep talking we’ll get something of value out of you eventually.
Maybe if you keep talking we’ll get something of value out of you eventually.You are the genius:
I suspect Zelensky will have his way as there will be no men left in Ukraine to vote in his next election....Dictator for life ?Tell us more - LOL!
I’ve found puddles deeper than you....If you’re waiting for me to care, you better pack a lunch. It’s going to be a while.
Of course I talk like an idiot. How else could you understand me?
