War news
- Andrew Korybko: What Could The Eurasian Order Look Like If Trump Cuts A Series Of Deals To Save MAGA?
- After taking Congress, the Democrat's first action is to ramp up the Ukraine proxy war .Instead of ending the Iran war, Democrats are focusing on ramping up another forever neo-con war.
- Oops. What are we gonna do with the 5 years of liberal claptrap User:Conservative has spammed into Conservapedia that justifies nuking the evil Rooskies?
- I warned him more than 4 years ago that this would happen, but he didn't care. His only objective was to get even with somebody who exposed him as an idiot who didn't understand current events or international relations.
- So, in 2027, Does Conservapedia take the editorial stance of the neocon UniParty in a lame effort to save its credibility? Kiss the 2028 Presidential election goodbye, as well.

Europe
- The Real Negotiation Is Over Europe. Russia's formidable delegation to Abu Dhabi signals a larger ambition: to transform the Ukraine peace process into a negotiation over NATO, European security and the balance of power on the continent.
- As talks start in Abu Dhabi, Kushner calls for new security framework for Ukraine, Russia and Europe.
- Kit Klarenberg: Psywar No More? 77th Brigade’s Sudden Death.
- Thomas Fazi: “European integration is one of the main causes of the erosion of democracy in Europe”: my interview with Die Weltwoche.
Ukraine
- Like Iran, Trump's bluster about "Ukraine and Russia are tired of war" is more BS for domestic consumption. He is making himself a pitchman for the Rand Corporation/CIA 2019 warplan, Extending Russia. Russia ain't giving up with NATO sitting on its border and launching missile's into the homeland. It wants its $300 billion looted by the EU back. It needs international recognition of the changed borders (which Trump likewise has admitted to). And most of all, a new European security structure, with this time Russia being a party to negotiations. See: The Real Negotiation Is Over Europe. Russia's formidable delegation to Abu Dhabi signals a larger ambition: to transform the Ukraine peace process into a negotiation over NATO, European security and the balance of power on the continent.
- Some commercial deals and partnerships are in the works. The big question is, Is User:Conservative fully onboard with the Democrats & Zelensky continuing the war for two more years? Cause trash-talking Russia is not the path to peace. Foghorn LeghornDo normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens? 02:05, November 10, 2026 (EST)
- Ian Proud: BRITAIN HAS DISINCENTIVISED ZELENSKY FROM SUING FOR PEACE. UK STATE VISIT INVITATION TO ZELENSKY A CONSIDERED ATTEMPT TO SCUPPER US-BROKERED DJPLOMACY.
- Disclaimer: Before some character assassin tries to smear me as a "liberal" again:
- CIA rag The Kyiv Independent which is not so "independent" given that it's funded by a foreign intelligence agency: EU purchases of Russian Yamal LNG rise to over $9 billion in 2026.
- 20% increase over 2025.
- OMG. How are they ever going to flush their toilets?
Germany
Poland
- Korybko: The Leftist Terrorist Attack In Kraków Shouldn’t Be Exploited To Cancel The Independence March.
- The Independence March is very important to Euroskeptics.
- The Poles are becoming Americanized as it still retains strict gun control laws from the communist era. The weapon used was an American manufactured weapon pilfered from transports of Ukraine aid through Poland. The reaction of the population in Poland to the mass shooting that killed 9 people and wounded 16 others is similar to the shock in the US after 9/11. Of course, it's the same police who took over the Constitutional Court in a failed coup last week investigating. The shooter was a left-wing nut known for his pro-LGBT & pro-abortion views on social media, but liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk & police investigators are claiming his views are similar to the "right wing", pro-Russia views of the AfD in Germany or MAGA in the United States. This may throw a monkey wrench into NATO's plan to provoke a false flag event and war with Russia. Then again (with User:Conservative's help), maybe not.
- Update: THE ASSASIN IS DEAD, CONVENIENT? (using the CIA's "Oswald acted alone" precedent. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We've seen it over and over again. Benigno Aquino's assassin, Trump shooter Thomas Crooks). Poland is freaked out.

| The European Union has discovered the source of their social unrest problem, RUSSIA and the American MAGA movement!

They'll just shift the $2 billion a month we've been spending on the Iran war to Ukraine aid, impeach Trump again if he delays or won't spend it, with negligible effects on diesel & food Affordability as Zelensky has more money & missiles to hit Russian refineries.
- Trump's continued anti-Iran bluster is just BS for domestic consumption (as the US gradually turns tail, declares "victory", and runs). People familiar with the matter say the US has agreed to funnel $8 billion to Iran through Qatar as the cutout. What remains to be negotiated is the toll fee through Hormuz. The US bases can't be rebuilt and won't be rebuilt. This means the 5th Fleet has to find a new home, if anybody in the Indian Ocean region will have us since the world now knows US security guarantees aren't worth the toilet paper they are written on).
- Similarly, the "Iran can't have a nuclear weapon" is more BS. After whacking the Ayatollah, Iran has no choice. It just won't be right away.

| Consider the implications of the very public outing of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Huang, who has zealously pushed for lax export controls on the U.S.-designed chips his company wishes to sell to the Chinese market, is widely despised among China hawks. Up to this point, he has been fairly successful in winning President Trump over to his line of thinking; his downfall, therefore, presents a major opportunity for those who would like to take a harder line on tech exports to Beijing. (It should be noted, too, that there is an irony here, as the Chinese government itself is actively blocking Nvidia chips from entering the country, seeking instead to promote indigenous chipmakers.)
And if the scandal deals lasting damage to Nvidia—the second largest company in the world by market capitalization—that could be bad news for the U.S. economy, and, consequently, for President Trump. Finally, there is China’s reading of this episode to consider. Are the hawks now ascendant in Washington, the CCP will wonder, and are we heading back to the trade war? |

Max Blumenthal: How Iran defeated Trump’s Israel First GOP
| Trump wrote his own epitaph when he declared, "If people ever got tired of me in the US, I'll move to Israel and become prime minister."
Trump launched a failed war on Iran for Israel last February, as his NSC director and Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted. Now, the war has come home. Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz became a vice grip around the neck of Trump and the GOP, especially in the heartland, where diesel prices are 70% higher than a year ago, and farmers have been forced to leave crops in the ground. 74% of Americans told pollsters the failed Iran war was a crucial or major factor in their vote tonight, and over 60% said they were voting against the Republicans because of it. Democrats won senate races in Kansas and Nebraska, agro producer states where Republicans always roll to victory like a big wheel through a corn field. They also flipped a seat in Iowa, which Trump won by 12 points in 2024, giving them control of the senate. A Democrat has taken the seat of Lindsey Graham, the late neocon who advised Netanyahu on how to manipulate Trump into the war, resoundingly defeating his sister in South Carolina |

Vance takes GOP hits as DeSantis, Cruz emerge as early GOP winners for 2028. Amie Parnes and The Hill. Nov 5, 2026. (The Hill) — The fight for the 2028 Republican primary is beginning to take shape on the heels of the GOP’s devastating midterm losses, with Vice President JD Vance facing criticism for blaming the losses on the Iran war and other big-name Republicans appearing to stake out their own positions.

But the election results complicate Vance’s argument. Just 34% of House voters called the war crucial to their vote, versus 49% citing the cost of living and 55% government corruption, according to the CNBC Voter Poll – suggesting a broader backlash against the Trump administration that Vance has spent nearly two years defending. |

- How does the scab labor of illegal aliens promote "economic fairness"? Oh, I know: some scab Latino labor join picket lines against affiliates of the biggest companies and deliberately overshoot the mark with unreasonable demands that no small business with semi-skilled labor can possibly accommodate. It dazzle-camouflages their scab depression of wages in the industries in which they participate, even though labor costs are the lowest on record, and their protests can be safely ignored on common sense grounds.

- When their money is depreciating, consumers spend it as fast as they can like a hot potato before it loses anymore value. It's a disincentive to save and invest. This is stagflation. Keynesians and neoliberals however point to how it adds to consumer spending figures and the GNP, which is just bloated.
- What User:Conservative does not understand (or refuses to understand) is that $6 a gal diesel and $4.50 a gal gas adds to GNP figures. it is not however "economic growth". In fact, it slows down and retards economic growth. The dog chasing his tail.
