I don’t imagine it will matter to the people under discussion, but —

When Obama was president, Putin invaded Crimea and expanded Russia.
When Biden was president, Putin invaded Ukraine and expanded Russia.

When Trump was president, Putin had the good sense not to try anything.

If Ukrainian-Americans, and Polish-Americans in PA want to keep a lid on Putin, they should NOT vote for the Democrat.

I lived in Chicago in the 1970s and early 80s.

Lots of Polish people there. Heavily Democratic vote.

I was given a Solidarnosc tee shirt by a classmate. He was Polish. We couldn’t pronoun his name, so he told everyone to call him ‘Slavic’.

I regret to this day, I didn’t keep that tee shirt. But gained weight over time and it didn’t fit...

Biden woke up from his nap.

“President Biden issued a statement Saturday calling the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed a day before in an Israeli strike on Lebanon’s capital city, a “measure of justice.””

NY Times reports:

“video, published Saturday on the Israeli military’s official Telegram channel with the caption “Israeli Air Force Fighter Jets Involved in the Elimination of Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s Central Headquarters in Lebanon,” shows at least eight planes in a row armed with 2,000-pound bombs. Some are too far away to clearly identify the exact model, but the closer planes are seen armed with BLU-109 bombs.”...

“A New York Times analysis of verified videos, photos and satellite imagery showed that the attack destroyed at least four apartment buildings that were each at least seven stories tall.

Two senior Israeli defense officials told The Times that more than 80 bombs were dropped over a period of several minutes to kill Mr. Nasrallah, but did not confirm the type of munitions used.”

“As Hezbollah Threat Loomed, Israel Built Up Its Spy Agencies”

“After the 2006 war with Hezbollah, Israel invested heavily to intercept the group’s communications and track its commanders in a shadowy war that ultimately led to the killing of the group’s leader.”

“In the immediate days after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Israeli intelligence officials feared a pre-emptive strike was imminent from another longtime enemy, Hezbollah. They frantically prepared to stop it with plans to strike and kill Hassan Nasrallah, the powerful Hezbollah leader who the Israelis knew would be in a bunker in Beirut.

But when Israel informed the White House of its plans, alarmed administration officials discounted the imminent Hezbollah strike. President Biden called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told him that killing Mr. Nasrallah would set off a regional war and asked him to hold his fire, current and former senior American and Israeli officials said.

On Saturday, Israel announced that it had killed Mr. Nasrallah after warplanes dropped more than 80 bombs on four apartment buildings in Lebanon, where the Hezbollah leader of more than three decades had gone to meet his top lieutenants. Mr. Biden was not informed ahead of time, aggravating the White House.

But the more salient outcome for both Israel and the United States was how successfully Israeli intelligence had pinpointed Mr. Nasrallah’s location and penetrated Hezbollah’s inner circle. In a matter of weeks, Israel has decimated the senior and midlevel ranks of Hezbollah and left the group reeling.”

JD couldn’t find time to attend?

“This is hilarious!

Someone posted this video of today’s anti-Ukraine, pro-Putin Rage Against the War Machine rally in Washington DC.

They raised only $14,447 and no one showed up. There was no crowd at all, just a bunch of Kremlin propagandists on stage talking to empty space.”

I bet a few pro Putler freepers were there, but only because they were paid.

BRICS, RICKS, DICKS

“As China’s job market shrinks, graduates forced to scale back career ambitions”

“Viral story of postgraduate student’s pivot from physics to school janitor highlights anxieties about youth unemployment”

“As job markets shrink in China, fresh graduates struggling to find meaningful employment have been forced to scale back career ambitions and salary expectations as the economy fights to regain its footing

The reality hit home when an unusual hiring decision was made public recently, in which a 24-year-old pursuing a master’s degree in physics awaited a new job as a high school janitor in the eastern city of Suzhou.

The Suzhou High School Affiliated to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics announced last week that it was planning to hire the postgraduate student as a janitor on a temporary contract.”

Joe Blogs today (RUSSIAN Bonds Collapse, https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=XyBPLjTwL1Y ), reports on a big drop in the demand for Russian bonds in the second quarter of this year (as reported by the Russian Ministry of Finance).

2/3rds of the total that Russia tried to sell n Q2 were not purchased.

This is likely a factor in the big rise in Russian interest rates in Q3 (now at 19%) - they are getting more desperate to borrow money.

In addition to the drop in overall demand, the percentage of foreign purchasers (including the BRICS) dropped to 7% of sales, down from a high around 35% before Putin’s 2022 invasion.

Iran attended that leadership meeting.

“Israel’s killing of a senior commander from Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “will not go unanswered,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday.

Abbas Nilforoushan was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut, Lebanon on Friday, alongside Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and a number of other Hezbollah commanders.”

“Denmark and Ukraine have agreed on a defense investment of approximately $600 million USD. The funding will be used to procure weapons and equipment produced by the Ukrainian defense industry, financed by Denmark and frozen Russian assets allocated by Denmark on behalf of the EU.

Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen signed the agreement in Kyiv with Ukrainian officials. This initiative is part of ongoing Danish support for Ukraine’s defense, including a previous delivery of 18 Ukrainian-produced Bohdana artillery systems earlier this year. Danish defense companies will also participate in the upcoming “Defence Industries Forum” in Kyiv.”
