Putin is correct and I hope that this is not a day late sort of thinking. I think it is a finally expressing what has been known all along though. Israel has brought this issue to a head. While Israel is not a religious founded illegal country, the west makes it illegally a religious founded country for propaganda. Thus, Israel is now a stage of that Holy War that the West is trying to start…

Projection of power is a sight to behold, “until it is not”…
Then these bases are nothing but a duck shoot and a liability for the USA. Projection is visual and nothing to do with reality…

Ship movement has happened…
and…
First, I redirected the movement of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the Central Command area of responsibility. This carrier strike group is in addition to the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. It will further increase our force posture and strengthen our capabilities and ability to respond to a range of contingencies.
Someone woke up and prioritized the real facts…

Just a thought of mine…
The dribble and ineloquent mutterings display lately by the western media, politicians, plebs and retired military are at the Depression stage of denial…
Do Psychopaths get depressed?
I know they get unhinged and violent, but do they get dispirited?

Mr. President, with your permission, I will make a small introduction and then ask my colleagues to brief the Security Council on the situation on the ground.
Excellencies,
The situation in the Middle East is growing more dire by the hour.
The war in Gaza is raging and risks spiralling throughout the region.
Divisions are splintering societies. Tensions threaten to boil over.
At a crucial moment like this, it is vital to be clear on principles — starting with the fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians.
I have condemned unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel.
Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians – or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.
All hostages must be treated humanely and released immediately and without conditions. I respectfully note the presence among us of members of their families.
Excellencies,
It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.
The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.
They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.
But the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. And those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
Excellencies,
Even war has rules.
We must demand that all parties uphold and respect their obligations under international humanitarian law; take constant care in the conduct of military operations to spare civilians; and respect and protect hospitals and respect the inviolability of UN facilities which today are sheltering more than 600,000 Palestinians.
The relentless bombardment of Gaza by Israeli forces, the level of civilian casualties, and the wholesale destruction of neighborhoods continue to mount and are deeply alarming.
I mourn and honour the dozens of UN colleagues working for UNRWA – sadly, at least 35 and counting – killed in the bombardment of Gaza over the last two weeks.
I owe to their families my condemnation of these and many other similar killings.
The protection of civilians is paramount in any armed conflict.
Protecting civilians can never mean using them as human shields.
Protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than one million people to evacuate to the south, where there is no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine and no fuel, and then continuing to bomb the south itself.
I am deeply concerned about the clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza.
Let me be clear: No party to an armed conflict is above international humanitarian law.
Excellencies,
Thankfully, some humanitarian relief is finally getting into Gaza.
But it is a drop of aid in an ocean of need.
In addition, our UN fuel supplies in Gaza will run out in a matter of days. That would be another disaster.
Without fuel, aid cannot be delivered, hospitals will not have power, and drinking water cannot be purified or even pumped.
The people of Gaza need continuous aid delivery at a level that corresponds to the enormous needs. That aid must be delivered without restrictions.
I salute our UN colleagues and humanitarian partners in Gaza working under hazardous conditions and risking their lives to provide aid to those in need. They are an inspiration.
To ease epic suffering, make the delivery of aid easier and safer, and facilitate the release of hostages, I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
Excellencies,
Even in this moment of grave and immediate danger, we cannot lose sight of the only realistic foundation for a true peace and stability: a two-State solution.
Israelis must see their legitimate needs for security materialized, and Palestinians must see their legitimate aspirations for an independent State realized, in line with United Nations resolutions, international law and previous agreements.
Finally, we must be clear on the principle of upholding human dignity.
Polarization and dehumanization are being fueled by a tsunami of disinformation.
We must stand up to the forces of antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and all forms of hate.
Mr. President,
Excellencies,Today is United Nations Day, marking 78 years since the UN Charter entered into force.
That Charter reflects our shared commitment to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights.
On this UN Day, at this critical hour, I appeal to all to pull back from the brink before the violence claims even more lives and spreads even farther.
Thank you very much.

What do you do?
I plugged my Huawei Mate 50 in to charge and 30 seconds later, the charger decided to short out and send 220 volts straight to the phone…
What a horrible death…
Did not know that a charger would do that?
It is as if I just plugged the USB straight to the wall socket… 🙁
Not a nice thing to have happen at TRV in the middle of nowhere and farther than that from somewhere…
But, I have been reading about, with joy I might add, that Huawei is roaring back and I suspect that this time, the USA has no more bullets to try to cheat the system against Huawei, trying to protect iPhone from real competition…
https://www.reuters.com/technology/chinas-huawei-sells-16-mln-mate-60-pro-handsets-six-weeks-research-firm-2023-10-19/ Rock and Roll Huawei, Rock and Roll…
And I hope Huawei puts Apple iPhone out of business…
Also, Sveta and I will do our best to help Huawei. Either a Mate 60 and or P60 Huawei will replace the fried Mate 50…
Yes, it is out of warranty and yes, I will take it apart and try to rebuild it. Except, it looks like it will cost more for parts that I paid in the first place…
Interesting, I only brought my old Samsung Galaxy Edge to play with and here I am writing this post on it. Gives me a very good detailed idea about how far apart an old flagship phone is compared to a new flagship phone…
But the Edge brings back memories and it is rooted. Oh my, I have been playing around and even installing different ROM’s…

Has become very clear that Georgia is under huge pressure by the West to attack Russia and open a new front against Russia. Russia knows this and is ready. Georgia has no intention, but paid USA lackeys in the government of Georgia are pushing hard…
Let us watch and see what comes of this…

A few days of silence on the website and a few days of contemplation for me and my Sweetpea…
This morning my weight and BMI for my weight. I am sitting just right and this has been many many years since I have been this light on the feet…
My Body Mass Index reading (BMI)
The thing is that when I was a teenager, I was heavily muscled and never ever met these guidelines. I am just glad to see these numbers as an oldster. This is when it counts the most for my aging body needs these much lighter weights that I have obtained now…
Going to walk in the TRV and take pictures of everything as Fall leaves us to Old Man Winter. Should snow good while we are there and we get to see how Sammy the Volga does with her new rear end work that was done…
Have a nice day and see you in a bit…
