Despite the diminutive Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy jumping around and shouting about Russians firing an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) today, they didn’t.  Instead, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided his response to the U.S-led NATO group firing missiles into the Russian Federation would be to send a message with a multi-warhead intermediate range hypersonic missile. {Background Message Context}

President Vladimir Putin said, “one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested in combat conditions, in this case with a ballistic missile in non-nuclear hypersonic edition.”  The missile has a range of approximately 3,500 kilometers, below the threshold for the “Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT), that’s a reach throughout western Europe and the hypersonic message is likely, ‘you have no iron dome system that can prevent this.”

KYIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) – Russia fired a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile at the city of Dnipro on Thursday in response to the U.S. and UK allowing Kyiv to strike Russian territory with advanced Western weapons, in a further escalation of the 33-month-old war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a televised address, said Moscow struck a Ukrainian military facility with a new ballistic missile known as “Oreshnik” (the hazel) and warned that more could follow.

“A regional conflict in Ukraine previously provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global character,” Putin said in an address to the nation carried by state television after 8 pm Moscow time (1700 GMT).

Suspicious Cat smells some possible streamlining and downsizing afoot.

Not only has President Trump announced the nomination of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary, but he has also announced that Lutnick will carry the role and “responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative” (USTR).

Perhaps in the second term President Trump and Howard Lutnick are going to fold the USTR into the Dept of Commerce?  Interesting.

Hopefully, Howard Lutnick, like Wilbur Ross, will keep the U.S. Chamber of Commerce blocked from influence over the upcoming trade discussions and potential trade agreements.  We note that former USTR Lighthizer was part of the transition discussion, and it seems odd his name has not surfaced…. yet.

Regardless, Howard Lutnick is an excellent choice for all the reasons previously outlined.

This USA collaborative pearl-clutching between the Defense Department and their media stenographers is laughable, at best.

Before getting to the crux of their story also remember the U.S conducts joint military training operations with dozens of nations, including NATO.  Additionally, Ukraine military have been training in the United States for almost two years {Citation Link}.  Also, the U.S and U.K have official and unofficial “advisors” and intelligence operatives on the ground in Ukraine; they have been there for three years.

Secondly, Russia and North Korea share a border (Rajin). Third, this is NOT about Ukraine, although Secretary Lloyd Austin has to pretend not to know this (emphasis mine).

Associated Press – Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed Wednesday the U.S. has evidence that North Korean troops are in Russia. “What exactly they’re doing” remains to be seen, Austin told journalists while in Rome, Italy. “These are things that we need to sort out.”

Ukraine and South Korea have warned that North Korean soldiers have traveled to Russia for training ahead of planned deployment to fight on battlefields in eastern Ukraine and western Russia.

Austin said Wednesday that the U.S. would “continue to pull this thread” to establish whether Pyongyang can be considered a co-belligerent in the conflict. “That is a very, very serious issue and it will have impacts not only in Europe, it will also impact things in the Indo-Pacific as well,” Austin warned.

Apparently, some forms of foreign election influence are okay. According to recent reports the British Labour Party are sending their staff to the United States to run support operations in battleground states.

GREAT BRITAIN – The British Labour Party is sending approximately 100 current and former staff members to the United States to work for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in key swing states.

[SOURCE – LINKEDIN]

The left-leaning Labour Party won a majority in the Parliament in July, toppling the Conservative government and making Labour leader Keir Starmer the new prime minister.

In a post originally published on LinkedIn calling for more volunteers, Sofia Patel, head of operations for the Labour Party, wrote, “I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.”

Go ahead and make some money.  Elevator Speech: “MAGAnomics is essentially ‘inverse BRICS.'”

Everyone who is a pragmatic critical thinker knows that China will: subsidize their targeted sectors and devalue their currency to lower the tariff impact of exports to the USA. Beijing controls the banks, and they did this before.

As a result, the dollar value increases and imports cost less.

The Chinese imports then enter the USA at a lower price consistent with Beijing’s cost estimate as a tariff offset.  Chinese actuaries are really good at this. China takes in a lower price but retains access to the USA market. That’s just how it works.  The importers pay the tariff with a lowered price with a higher valued dollar. Essentially stasis is achieved in a stand-off.

Then…..

EU industrial products to Chinese manufacturing plants start to contract due to China’s aggressive cost cutting initiatives. The EU gets angry about the impact to their economy and looks for alternatives.  The EU then follows the same path as China and devalues their central bank currency; further pressuring the dollar to an upward price.

Exports to the EU are now more expensive, but imports from the EU to the USA are now cheaper. Again, the EU goal is stasis.

Both scenarios create cheaper USA imports despite the Trump tariffs. However, on the EU side President Trump then ends the Marshal plan and executes a program of “tariff reciprocity” against the EU.  More frustration and gritted teeth by Brussels.

This is an interesting and curiously unmentioned diplomatic contrast.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with President Donald Trump after the U.K leader delivered a speech to the United Nations in New York.  However, intentionally unnoticed by U.S. media, the Prime Minister immediately left the U.S. following the lengthy meeting with President Trump, and never met with Kamala Harris.

The extensive discussion and dinner took place in New York, apparently at Trump Tower.  There is an aspect of typical British worry woven throughout British media reporting on the meeting because U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, also attended the meeting.  Lammy once called President Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”

Undoubtably, when the priority of the dinner is overlaid with the U.K position on Ukraine; keep in mind a meeting with Zelenskyy followed the next morning; PM Starmer appears a little worried.  There is a massive amount of geopolitical embarrassment possible right around the corner when, not if, President Trump wins – and the position of the British govt toward Ukraine leaves them dancing alone when the music stops.

CONTEXT: Chairman Xi is big geopolitically, driven mostly by his economic position.  President Putin has become bigger geopolitically as a result of his smart post-sanction moves, in combination with his increasing economic position.  Heck, even Mohammed Bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia) and Narendra Modi (India) are now big in a world of stupidly applied Bidenomics. However, when you consider the dynamic of actually using economic leverage as THE truest aspect of geopolitical power, President Trump is GODZILLA.

Starmer and the rest, eh, lol. 😂  Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with President Trump is what might be called, ‘risk mitigation‘.  And people were wondering why Ric Grenell was present beside Donald Trump for the past few days.  lolol…  {{¹Hint}}

I’m going to drop a series of short video segments highlighting how the Biden administration is coaxing NATO allies into a position of war against Russia using an escalation within the proxy state of Ukraine. This is not getting nearly enough attention.

Ukraine (Zelensky), Canada (Trudeau), the U.K. (Starmer) and the United States (Biden) are currently discussing the shipment of Storm Shadow missiles from the U.K that have the ability to reach deep into Russia. Zelensky has been asking for them; however, the current conversation amid the NATO partnership essentially boils down to whether the missiles should be deployed to Ukraine or not.

When Vladimir Putin was asked about the long-range missile deployment and potential for strikes deep into Russia, the Russian Federation President spoke clearly about what was at stake.

Putin noted that Ukraine does not currently have long range missiles, nor do they have anything remotely close to the targeting system needed to use them. Therefore, as the Russian president noted, if such missiles are launched and strike Russia they are coming directly from NATO. President Putin said Russia will respond accordingly. WATCH (the translation is accurate):

I rarely, if ever, tweet about what Putin says but this is something that folks in NATO countries might want to be aware of: Putin says decision to allow long-range strikes into Russia changes everything, and means direct war between Russia and NATO pic.twitter.com/ptV60NTRAg

As of this moment in late Saturday (9/14/24), British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is heading home from a meeting with Joe Biden without any agreement on the deployment of the missiles. The threat seemingly remains, as a threat to deploy them.

NATO would be foolish to escalate this level of provocation toward Russia. I can tell you from experience, my boots on the ground looking very carefully at the preparation within Russia, that Vladimir Putin is not bluffing. The Russian government has well prepared the Russian people on the possibility of war against segments of the “west” and perhaps all of NATO if needed.

Mass formation psychosis.

Remember when the Australians were putting people into forced quarantine camps for failing to take vaccinations?  Remember when the New Zealanders were arrested for going on a subversive trip to McDonalds and violating their containment zones?  Remember when Americans were arrested for going to playgrounds or parks?  Remember when EU citizens were arrested for not carrying their vaccine passports?

Well… If you remember those examples that factually happened, then you can likely see how this is just another part of the continuum.  WATCH:

There is no such thing as “misinformation” or “disinformation“, there is only information.

You were not born with a brain requiring you to believe everything you are told. You were born with a brain that allows you to process information and formulate opinions using discernment.

There is only INFORMATION. The variables within the information you receive are accuracy or inaccuracy; truth or lies.

If you want to get a great background on what was happening inside the U.K in the lead up to the latest riots, this video from Rebel News interviewing Tommy Robinson is the background to watch. {Direct Rumble Link}

Mr Robinson is the head of the English Defense League, what the British government call a nativist, subversive, right-wing network of racist patriots who are refusing to allow the identity of their country to be removed. {SEE HERE}  Robinson and his millions of followers refuse to allow Islamic Jihadists to kill, rape and butcher English people.

This is a great soup to nuts explanation of how they got to where they are today. WATCH:

The British police, completely and totally infected with cultural Marxism, seemingly approve of the Islamist conquest.  Meanwhile there is a war over the information available on social media.   Mass censorship is everywhere, and it is getting worse.

The British Government are furious that X-Platform and Elon Musk are allowing pro-British sentiment to be communicated in the open, and the British Gov are threatening to file criminal charges against Elon Musk {SEE HERE}.
