As a result of successful actions by the Tsentr Group of Forces, Novoalekseyevka (Donetsk People's Republic) has been liberated.

Russian Defence Ministry shows footage of servicemen supported by an armoured group rapidly entering forest belts and destroying enemy fortifications. In addition, attack drone crews defeat enemy hardware and manpower, helping assault detachments to advance.

As a result of active and decisive actions, the servicemen took especially important positions and installed the Russian flag in the village.

Pedro Bordaberry, son of former civic dictator of Uruguay and US puppet, Juan María Bordaberry (This guy was removed by the Army because even them thought he was too far-right for them), just congratulated the President-elect of Uruguay, the Leftist, Yamandu Orsi.

Venezuela rejected the approval by the United States House of Representatives of a bill that complements existing sanctions by prohibiting the U.S. from contracting with any person who has business with the Venezuelan government.

51 years after the Afro-Brazilian rights movement began fighting to designate November 20 as National Black Consciousness Day, it was finally sanctioned as a federal holiday (previously it was only a local holiday for some cities) by Pres. Lula this year, to the joy of Brazil's capoeira groups.

Javier Milei decides to join the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, proposed by Brazil at the G20. Argentina was the only G20 nation not to have signed. It is not known whether the change came about due to diplomatic pressure, shame at isolation, or advice from Milei's dead dog

It seems Chinese LLM models have caught up to western ones, even though they have inferior hardware. Also they say they're going to open source it.

Britain calling for ~~sanctions~~(misread) on Sudan at the UN Security Council

https://www.africanews.com/2024/11/18/britain-calls-for-un-action-on-sudan-boosts-humanitarian-aid/

The UK will seek UN Security Council support on Monday, November 18 to demand an end to Sudan’s conflict and ensure humanitarian aid delivery, the foreign ministry has announced.

As council president, Foreign Secretary David Lammy will lead a vote on a UK-Sierra Leone resolution urging civilian protection in Sudan. “The UK will never let Sudan be forgotten,” Lammy is set to say, while pledging to double UK aid for Sudan to £226 million ($285 million).

The power struggle between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces, ongoing since April 2023, has caused thousands of deaths and the world’s largest displacement crisis.

Lammy will also condemn Israel’s restrictions on Gaza aid, call for a ceasefire, and demand the release of hostages. On Ukraine, he will reaffirm Britain’s unwavering support against Russia’s invasion.

The exact scope of the American Biden regime's decision to attack Russia with ATACMS missiles is not known in detail. In an interview with state media DR foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has expressed disappointment in what he believes to be a limited scope of the planned attacks:

If it were true that the U.S. had lifted geographic restrictions, that would be good. But I have a sense that this is relatively limited and likely focused on Kursk. And that’s, of course, better than nothing,

(DR found it fitting to embellish Rasmussen's statement by inserting a note about "Pentagon" claiming that there are 10,000 democratic Korean troops in the Kursk oblast. I have omitted it from the quote)

Even the Danish regime, who has been among the most bellicose, is now beginning to slowly realise that the west will not be able to impose it's maximalist demands on Russia. Rasmussen is now talking about how the purpose of the American ATACMS attacks is not to achieve victory but to make sure that Ukraine has the "strongest possible position for when and if the dynamics of this war change." He goes on to say that "It’s a sober prediction that this could happen sometime in the new year,"

Rasmussen continues:

President Zelensky has also stated that the war will likely shift to a diplomatic phase at some point. And it’s crucial that Ukraine has the strongest possible advantage in that scenario

...

One way to make a difference is to lift geographic restrictions (on the use of Western weapons). Unfortunately, I don’t currently see this happening one-to-one. But something is better than nothing,"

However, the Danish regime has yet to move to a more realistic position on the war. Rasmussen is mostly dismissive of German leader Olaf Scholz' attempts to resume dialogue with Russia by making a phone call to Putin. Rasmussen says:

If the purpose was to persuade Putin to end the war, it clearly didn’t succeed. Because immediately afterward, we saw one of the most massive Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in a very long time

This, of course, is a deeply unserious statement that should be seen as a symptom of the butthurt many western maximalists must be experiencing these days.

Despite his bruised ego, Rasmussen is enough of an opportunist to realise that the reality of the war is shifting both on the ground and in the imperial court of Washington where the incoming Trump regime might be less keen to continue the war. He says that European countries needs to understand "what's what" and says that "We must avoid a situation where we simply have no role to play. If the call aimed to ensure that, I’m more understanding".

He adds:

There’s nothing from that conversation suggesting President Putin is remotely ready to negotiate."

Russia vetoes Sudan ceasefire resolution put forward by the UK

Russia was the only member of the 15-member council to vote against the measure on Monday morning, in a move that British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said was “mean, nasty and cynical”.

In an address to the Security Council after the vote, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN said that Moscow agreed “that the conflict in Sudan requires a swift resolution” and that “the only way to achieve this is for the warring parties to agree to a ceasefire”.

But Dmitry Polyanskiy said that while the Security Council’s role is to help the warring parties achieve that, it “should not be done by imposing upon the Sudanese, through a council decision, the opinion of its individual members”.

He accused the UK and Sierra Leone of “double standards”, pointing to Britain’s support of Israel’s ongoing humanitarian violations in its war in Gaza, and said Lammy’s criticism was an “excellent demonstration of British neo-colonialism”.

“It is shocking that Russia has vetoed an effort to save lives – though perhaps, it shouldn’t be,” Thomas-Greenfield said on Monday after the Security Council vote. “They claim it is because of Sudanese sovereignty. But Sudan supports the resolution.”

Isn't this a terrible look? Though I doubt a UN resolution alone would change much.

Everyone in pissrahell could convert to Islam and I will still hate pissrahell. What makes them think I don't want to knock the teeth off from Muslim zionazis too.

Two of the crimes attributed to Bolsonaro are set out in a law that he himself signed when he was president of the Republic. In 2021, the then president sanctioned, with vetoes, the law that punishes attacks against democracy, approved by the National Congress. Crimes under this law served as the basis for the Federal Police report.

He probably wanted to use this against leftists?

After being indicted for attempted coup, Bolsonaro attacks Moraes and says he will wait for his lawyer to make further comments. Bolsonaro spoke to the reporter from the “Metrópoles” portal and then posted the interview on his profile on the X social network.

“Minister Alexandre de Moraes conducts the entire investigation, adjusts testimonies, arrests without charges, fishes for evidence and has a very creative advisory. He does everything the law doesn't say,” said the former president.

Trump's treasury secretary (i know its copy pasting wiki but it's good info on his background)

Bessent founded Key Square Group in 2015 with Michael Germino, who had been the global head of capital markets at SFM.[20] Key Square uses geopolitics and economics to make macro investments.[15] Key Square received a $2 billion anchor investment from George Soros.[21] At the end of 2017, Key Square's assets were $5.1 billion.[21][22] Bloomberg in May 2018 reported that Key Square had mostly outperformed rival macro managers and continued to generate significant investor interest.[21] As part of a pre-arranged deal, the firm returned the Soros capital as it took in other assets.[21] Its investors include Australia's sovereign wealth fund, Future Fund.[22]

In 2000, Bessent hosted a fundraiser for Al Gore at his East Hampton, New York, home.[23] He has also donated to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.[24] In 2016, Bessent donated $1 million to Donald Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee.[25]

In February 2024, Bessent hosted a fundraiser in Greenville, South Carolina, that raised nearly $7 million for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.[26] In April 2024, Bessent was a host for a Palm Beach, Florida, fundraiser that raised $50 million for the Trump campaign.[27] In July 2024, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Bessent was a key economic advisor to Trump.[28] He proposed a three-point economic plan for Trump modeled on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's "Three Arrows" economic policy.[29] Bessent praised Trump's proposal to implement broad tariffs.[30]

He wants a strong Dollar so he can bet against other currencies? There is really no reason for anyone in the US to be pro broad tariffs other than rhetoric or if it benefits them personally.

If you are a tiny developing country, sure. Wide tariffs and controls on trade would allow for more room for imports that promote development for everyone, but U.S. and the West are not that. Also keep in mind despite Trump's rhetoric about tariffs and controls on trade, he has always been pro-free capital flows.
