Reports from Ukraine highlight a new Russian tactic which may yet prompt citizens to rebel against the corrupt Zelensky regime which is still doing everything possible to prolong the war even at their country is being destroyed and a generation of young men conscripted into military service are being slaughtered. That doing so amounts to national suicide is irrelevant to the corrupt regime of course, so long as the neo - Nazi cabal can keep enriching themselves by skimming off the cash flowing from the USA and Europe.

Several bridges in Kyiv have been closed as the result of new Russian drone attacks which killed one person in the city, the Ukrainian capital's authorities said Friday.

According to reports Russia has now hit four of eight bridges that connect Kyiv's western and eastern banks along the Dnipro River, with three being closed to to extensive damage..

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city's Southern Bridge, also known as the Pivdennyi Bridge, was "completely closed" to traffic after the most recent attack on Friday (October 2) and the North Bridge was closed after a series of strikes on its supporting cables last week..

The concrete and steel bridge carries road vehicles and a metro rail line. The Southern Bridge has been hit twice over the two days by Russian drone attacks.

The Paton Bridge was also closed to traffic towards the left bank of the Dnipro River, and the North Bridge Klitschko said.

Russia's Ministry of Defence said its drones targeted a bridge over the Dnipro which is used for military purposes. Russia also said it attacked a power station in the surrounding Kyiv region alongside the Port of Izmail near the Black Sea and a cargo vessel.

A Russian attack on Kyiv also left one person in dead and at least two others injured after a strike hit a 25-story building in the Darnytskyi district.

There are indications that the public mood is swinging against Zelensky however, as protests against widespread fraud by government officials make clear even to the most blinkered citizen that their country in being used as the fall guy in NATO's proxy war against Putin's Russia.

Russia warned foreign nationals to leave Kiev back in May. Another, more forceful warning was issued earlier today: stay and you are exposing yourself to mortal danger. Add these attacks on Kiev’s bridges to the concurrent attacks on power substations, rail links, data centres, etc., and it’s becoming pretty obvious that Moscow intends to cut Kiev off from the West.

In my opinion, it is becoming increasingly clear that Russia has decided it needs to actually take Kiev in order to secure its western border.

If You're Afraid Of Nuclear War You're Not Supporting Ukraine Enough Is Zelensky's Latest Message
The follow up to Elon Musk's refusal to open his Starlink satellite network for the benefit of Ukrainian military leaders as they fantasise about attacking Crimea and driving out the Russian occupying force this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous the Ukrainian government's desire to escalate the war has become.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...
