Commander of the Ukrainian Forces, General Zaluzhny, after more and more information from the frontlines that Ukrainian soldiers are abandoning positions and refusing to obey orders (suicidal assaults) urges Zelensky to sign into law tougher measures for “unauthorized departures” i.e. deserters.

And segments of Central America have armed gangs forcing people from their country saying you’ll be better off walking to the U.S. then staying here, when and how did we silently cross that bridge w/o being prepared?

Considering Uncle Davy’s post…deserters or mutineers may find themselves on the way to the laboratory for vivisection.
For some time claims and suggestions respecting the fates of wounded men of nazitoarmy404, which speak of a sort of institutional cannibalism have been made. Considering the moral level of the organization these claims and suggestions seem founded in reality. Accordingly, see>

Quote> “The Ukrainian media published information about who and how is profiting from the death of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They make money on the dead soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Odessa by mass collection of their biomaterial. The remains of the bodies are burned, the dead are assigned the status of “missing”.
Inhuman black transplantology is conducted at 2/4 Tserkovnaya Street in the Central Reference Laboratory for the collection of biomaterial (at the Ukrainian Mechnikov Anti-Plague Research Institute). Biomaterials from there are exported to Lvov at least 2 times a week on a regular basis.
Registration of materials is carried out at Bolshaya Arnautskaya 72/74 (under the cover of the OSCE mission). All work, including the control of accounting documentation, is under the personal control of SERGEY POZDNYAKOV, who is listed in the OSCE monthly salary sheets and receives a salary from 6 to 11 thousand dollars. As a legal entity, he is directly connected not only with the Mechnikov Research Institute, but also with Vitatest company.”
Some may recall that the previous nazitoarmy also used people in similar ways, albeit with less technical sophistication.

Mr P, regarding the northern California earthquake in Eureka. The 2019 article below gives a good analysis of what happened in 19 and imo probably something like it repeated today. I take it you are a Californian, excuse this post if you are not. I am on the Pacific plate.
Eureka lies at a ‘tectonic triple junction,’ which could easily mean our bad boy Andreas had a hand in this, if not now looks like soon.
https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/northern-california-earthquake-humboldt-county/index.html
What’s happening this week in Humboldt County, California: The squeeze
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2019 BY TEMBLOR
Ross S. Stein, Ph.D., Temblor, Inc.
excerpt;
link has good picture
https://temblor.net/earthquake-insights/whats-happening-this-week-in-humboldt-county-california-the-squeeze-8348/
On February 3, a Magnitude 4.5 quake struck 30 mi (50 km) south of Eureka, followed in rapid succession by four more Magnitude 3+ shocks. Today, a Magnitude 4.4 shock struck just 15 mi (25 km) east of Eureka.
Are these shocks related?
Probably not.
The February 3 shocks appear to have struck along a fault that connects, or straddles, the San Andreas Fault to the south, and the Cascadia megathrust fault to the north. These are the two fastest slipping and longest faults in the western U.S., and so capable of producing the largest earthquakes. The southern Cascadia ruptured in the year 1700 in a Magnitude 9 shock, the northern San Andreas ruptured in 1906 in a Magnitude 7.8 shock.
The February 6 shock struck on a different fault system, probably the Trinidad Fault, which has not produced a large historic quake, but geologists infer that it has been active in the past 11,000 years. Relative to the sizes of the quakes, the two sets of shocks are far enough apart, that their ability to interact is probably nil. Each is independent, and their 3-day separation a coincidence.
But in another sense, they most definitely are.
Step back a bit, and one sees that this is an area undergoing a massive crustal squeeze, with both shocks the direct products of this slow-motion crash zone. Eureka lies at a ‘tectonic triple junction,’ where three tectonic plates meet. At many other triple junctions, the three fault systems are perpendicular to each other, and so all of the action can be taken up along the major faults. But here, Eli Silver discovered in 1971 that there is a space problem (Silver, 1971). The oceanic plate being extruded at the Gorda Ridge is not spreading parallel to the Mendocino Fracture Zone, the boundary between the Gorda and the Pacific plates, but instead is being pushed toward the Fracture Zone, creating the space problem. This deforms and crushes the Gorda plate as it moves toward the California coast, and it also has deformed the Cascadia megathrust into a sinuous mess. The Cascadia marks where the Gorda plate is shoved under, or ‘subducts’ beneath, the North American plate. Because the three major faults (the San Andreas, Mendocino, and Cascadia) cannot accommodate the deformation, numerous secondary faults form that distribute the deformation onshore and off.
The combination of the great faults and the bit players, all firing off earthquakes at different rates, is why this the most seismically active portion of California.
Thanks, Old Man!
Yes, as you have said…
The temblor failed to awaken me…but I am at a considerable distance…a pal tells me his wife awaken’d him when the wind-chimes (!) above their bed, ah, chimed, about 02:30 local. He’s much younger…(wind chimes!!!, Indeed! Good idea!)
Along the Pacific Coast, running Northerly from Eureka, more or less, and running far, a vast subduction zone exists – such that if this massive zone takes a vertical move, great tsunami waves will arise.
The geologists say such waves in history have washed even over the coast mountain ranges…these run to 1,000 meters plus.
We read of times in scriptures…frogs, locusts, eclipses, eruptions…earthquakes, and plagues, vast battles, fields of the dead…and we also experience these things…
Recalling VVP, if a man’s fate is hanging, he need not fear anything else…to which I’d remark, there’s no reason to fear one’s fate.
The light frame houses we generally find on the pacific slope are flimsy enough that they, generally, simply sway a bit in earthquakes…though masonry chimneys do make for a hazard.
There are several active volcanoes…I hope we’re not going to see any serious eruptions…as the lands hereabout are littered with pyroclastic bombs and lapilli…no man could survive such rain. So we pray that Pele stays quiet.
Thanks again.

Russia will take Odessa, Nikolaev and Kharkov by the end of 2023. This is pretty much what the Russian draft budget is signaling. A checkbook carries a lot of weight and screams louder than confusing speeches so we have a confirmation of sorts.
excerpt.
Head of the Crimean Parliament: By the end of next year we will take Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov
Today, 17: 14
This was stated in an interview with reporters by the head of the Crimean Parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov.
– says Konstantinov.
Further, the speaker of the Crimean parliament argues, the Ukrainian authorities will begin to fuss, offering peace negotiations to Moscow. According to him, they will take such steps to keep at least the capital under their control, but they cannot be allowed to do this. And by 2024, the politician suggests, the Ukrainian state will cease to exist, and Kyiv will be under Russian control.
As for the rest of the regions, Konstantinov notes, they are of no interest to Moscow.
According to the politician, the special military operation is the final stage of the process that began in 2014 with the Crimean Spring.
Earlier, Konstantinov named the same cities of Ukraine, stating that the CBO should also apply to them. To them he added then the fourth city – Dnepropetrovsk. The politician from Crimea calls these four cities Russian.
https://en.topwar.ru/207160-glava-parlamenta-kryma-v-2023-godu-zhitelej-treh-gorodov-ukrainy-ozhidajut-bolshie-peremeny.html
The Russian draft budget shows a decrease in defense spending for 2024. Watch for an even more favorable outlook in Ukraine by the end of 2023.
— The Russian draft budget assumes a sharp increase in military spending for 2022 and 2023 and a decrease in defense spending in 2024. Therefore, the baseline forecast from which the Russian leadership proceeds is the continuation of hostilities throughout all or most of 2023. It’s quite real. But it is possible that the conflict will end a little earlier or much later.

Why did you switch on the light
Face the darkness that is within you
The truth is within you to know
Don’t bury it let it come out
You have spent the nights alone
But who really cares about you
The painful event of rupture has passed
But the scars from it still remain visible
You wish to get rid of these bad times
But only through adversity will you learn
You abhor the truth of your situation
Yet do not have the strength to face it
Your story of hopeless times is not new
But only a few people have guts to face it
Whatever anger that is inside you
Let it come out through your perception
Whatever you are feeling
Let it all be brought out
Stop pretending that everything is fine
Look inside your pretentious self
Which has blurred all clarity for you
With times sorrow may surround you
Unable to bear it despair may tear you apart
But diamonds of truth are found in tribulation
Remember them and bring out sunshine in life
Why did you switch on the light
Face the darkness that is within you
The truth is within you to know
Don’t bury it let it come out
For you, Sudhi;
Soul Will Not Feel Torn (The Hidden Teachings of Rumi)
Take this piece of bread from me and Soul will not
feel torn.
That one who wanders in search of your love will find a
home.
That one who wears me as a cloak will never be naked.
And that one who takes me as a cure will not be
abandoned.
That one who sees me as his mission will not be without
a quest.
A rock that becomes a gem will never be just a rock.
The direction true seekers turn will never be a wasteland.
And the book of the Silent Ones will not be found in an
outer book.
From these tears, my eyes are givers of wine, but,
Unless a seeker’s eyes become intoxicated, he will not be a
wine-seller.
Lovers become sick, but they will not die.
The moon becomes thin, but never a (distant) star.
Be silent now and not too upset because
The self that becomes a lover is never misled by the lower
self.
Thank you Dimitar.
whenever I see you,
everything is said without
a word being said

Anything that benefits the Anglo-Saxon ‘Five Eyes’ (primarily the USA) at Europe’s expense is not something to support in my book.
Some of the commentary cheers this explosion on, because it means Russian gas to Europe becomes more expensive and less accessible, as if the latter wasn’t what the USA wanted to have happen for years. It’s times like these when I wonder whose side they’re on, notwithstanding the previous times I’ve discussed it here.
People can make their own bad luck, and they often do, no matter which side is to blame, the end result is always the same, bad.
Silly to say, perhaps…listening to Brother Garland N, and at one point he recalls the stories from nazito404 as to shooting down some missile or thingy…claim some nazifink did it with a rifle or MG…
This dredges up from the muds a memory…I knew once long ago a good man who’d been a commissioned officer in the US cavalry…mounted horse stuff. Later he was stationed in UK, and was in the bigbig invasion June ’44. By that time they had tanks of inferior quality, and didn’t know it.
This man told me that when in UK the V-1 buzzbombs flew overhead en route to citytarget, and everybody was permitted to fire at these machines. The neighboring unit hit one. Small arms, .30 cal.
Riflefire is said to be ineffective above 3000 feet vertical…V-1 flew low, pulsejetmotor likes dense air.
None of this matters….nazitos (everywhere) are the ultimate marks…as they believe their own con…they’re a buncha losers. Naturally though, they do make a mess…

Dedollarization continues to accelerate:

Let’s consider this quotation from article at RT>
“Among the main reasons for the collapse, according to the Chinese studies, were those associated with the weakening of the party. Namely, the pervasive corruption, the detachment of the its elite from the common people, the emerging consumerism, and the formalism and bureaucratic tendencies of party ideologues and agitators, which led to a total disbelief in the policies imposed from above.”
Taking a general view according to history, this quotation and the entire article from which it’s borrowed, might also apply to other States, might it not?

You had me at you headline.
“Today, Beijing is a superpower, but it only has to look over its northern border for a cautionary tale” China needs to look again, retaining history but embracing reality.
Fast forward to the near future. Mongolia is showing ominous signs of a colour revolution. This would put the Russian Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline in jeopardy. another pipeline in US crosshairs.
Not to mention that except for the Arctic Russia will be completely surrounded, the Transcaucasian region being marginal at best. This to me is one big reason the US wants the Ukraine war to drag on while they are busy attempting a stranglehold on Russia and yes, China. China needs to be less wary before they turn into an over weaponized joke. The Russians do not need to risk their young men without their ally also putting boots on the ground if it comes to that. It is just time, again, only if it comes to that
” Beijing remains extremely wary of confronting the US or the EU” Not just wary-extremely wary!
excerpt: Good link!
However, the latest wave of unrest in Mongolia carries ominous signs of a colour revolution. As in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the social media is active in stirring up protests. The protests began a week ago against the “coal mafia,” which has been allegedly profiteering from doing business with Chinese companies. But various conspiracy theories are spreading on Twitter, including that there would be an internal power struggle within the ruling party elites.
The paradox is, despite the convergence of interests and strong political and economic interests, and although their core interests are involved, it is becoming increasingly uncertain whether Russia or China can deliver on regional security guarantees. Moscow is under western sanctions and Beijing remains extremely wary of confronting the US or the EU — although Mongolia is one country in Central Asia where the core interests of Russia and China overlap.
The geopolitical stakes are high. Mongolia is the transit country for the proposed Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline channeling up to 50 billion cubic meters of gas from the Yamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic to eastern China, and the construction work is due to start in 2024. Similarly, China, Mongolia and Russia have extended the Outline of the Development Plan on Establishing the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor by five years, which will unleash great economic potential and upgrade Mongolia’s role as a transit hub.
China-Mongolia cooperation on the construction of transportation routes and corridors has been greatly boosted in recent years, which has strengthened the logistics between China and Mongolia and greatly increased their transport capacity for bulk commodities, especially mineral products. The two countries are looking to dock multiple new railway lines with Chinese ports.
The US and the EU will do their utmost to wean Mongolia away from the Sino-Russian orbit, no matter what it takes. Interestingly, a NATO military delegation from Brussels travelled to Ulaanbaatar last week and held two days of talks with the Mongolian military leaders. Mongolia presents a combustible mix where all the key elements of the US’ confrontation with Russia and China are present, ranging from NATO’s mission creep to the Asia-Pacific to the BRI and Russia’s energy exports and of course the vast deposits of rare earths in the steppe.
