The Israel Defense Force (IDF) plans to soon enter southern Lebanon, ABC News reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed senior US official. The US outlet described the supposed operation as “very limited” but provided few details about its nature or when it may begin.

On Wednesday, the IDF chief of staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, announced a potential ground operation in the neighboring state as he talked to troops stationed at Israel’s northern border. The airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon over the past week were in particular aimed at preparing the area “for the possibility of your entry,” the general told the troops.

Say what you will about the EU’s “elites,” they are persistent. They are on the verge of losing the Ukraine proxy war they have been waging under US command against Russia, but they never miss a chance to antagonize. This time it’s Georgia’s turn – the one in the Caucasus, of course: Brussels would never dare raise its voice about anything in the US, no matter how rotten the sorry remnants of “democracy” are over there. 

Richard Marles and his mate, the US Defense Secretary, are beginning to wilt under the weight of sustained comment in Australia critical of the AUKUS arrangement.

Marles, unable to sustain a cogent argument himself, has his US friend propping him up in London to throw a 10,000-mile punch at me – and as usual, failing to materially respond to legitimate and particular criticisms made of the AUKUS arrangement.

The Full Federal Court has rejected Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus’ argument that government ministers should be allowed to shred documents when they leave office. What’s the scam?

The scam is that Dreyfus shredded $300k+ of taxpayers’ finest on lawyers fighting for the right to shred documents paid for by the public which votes politicians into office.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says China's continued economic growth is in Australia's interest, as the world's second-largest economy struggles with an ongoing real estate crisis and low confidence among everyday Chinese consumers.

Mr Chalmers is in Beijing to co-chair the first Australia-China Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) in seven years, alongside Zheng Shanjie from China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

During his two-day visit, the treasurer is seeking to better understand the challenges facing the Chinese economy, and with Beijing being Australia's largest trading partner, how those challenges might in turn affect Australia's economy.

President Vladimir Putin’s warning that Russia plans to update its national nuclear doctrine is “irresponsible,”according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

On Wednesday, Putin suggested that under a revised version of Russia’s nuclear doctrine, any aggression against the country by a non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state could be considered a “joint attack” and cross the nuclear threshold. The proposed change implies that the new rules could apply to a Ukrainian strike deep inside Russia with advanced weapons supplied by the US, Britain or France.

After Thuringia and Saxony voted, Germany has just had another important regional election, this time in the land of Brandenburg. As in the two preceding cases, the Brandenburg election is far more than a local event. Its results reflect and affect German politics as a whole. But Brandenburg is also special, because it was the last of the three. We can now assess their results as a whole.

 

Germany’s ruling coalition has stopped at the edge of the abyss – for now

Yet another regional election, this time in Brandenburg, has not been able to break the country’s political deadlock

Former US President Donald Trump has hammered Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky for refusing to negotiate with Russia, arguing that the country is now “obliterated” while Kiev is reduced to sending “young children and old men” to the front lines amid its conflict with Moscow.

Zelensky is currently visiting the US to attend the UN General Assembly in New York and pitch his so-called ‘victory plan’ to key figures in President Joe Biden’s administration. Republican lawmakers, however, have condemned Zelensky for publicly criticizing Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance.

He incited further ire among Republicans when he appeared at an event at a munitions plant organized by Pennsylvania Governor Joshua Shapiro, a key ally of Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

YOURDEMOCRACY.NET RECORDS HISTORY AS IT SHOULD BE — NOT AS THE WESTERN MEDIA WRONGLY REPORTS IT.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used his debut appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colberton Monday to make his case for another term despite facing existential challenges to his leadership and mounting "frustration" from Canadians struggling with the cost of living.

Sitting for the late night talk show interview the day before a non-confidence motion against his government, Trudeau was asked why his political opponents might be trying to get him out of office after nearly a decade in power. In response, Trudeau said he believed the cost of living is to blame.

 

In a dramatic turn of events, NATO's once-solid support for Ukraine is showing cracks as key member states like Hungary, Poland, and Germany reconsider their military aid.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto's meeting with Russia’s Sergey Lavrov at the UNGA highlights the growing divide within NATO, while Poland and Germany signal a reduction in assistance to Ukraine.

As winter approaches and battlefield conditions worsen, President Zelensky faces a mounting challenge, with Putin's strategy appearing to drive a wedge through the Western alliance. Is this the beginning of the end for NATO’s support of Ukraine?
