🇰🇭🇨🇳🇺🇸 Cambodia says it would welcome US Navy at port expanded with China's help

Cambodia said on Tuesday the US Navy would be welcome to visit its Ream Naval Base, which the Pentagon is concerned will become a Chinese outpost.

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol told a think tank event in Washington that any country's military could call at the port once the naval base is completed.

"The Ream Naval Base is not for the Chinese. The Chinese provided us with the assistance to expand the Ream Naval Base for our own national defense, not to be used by the Chinese or any military against another country," Sun told the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 According to journalists from The Wall Street Journal, the Israeli government is refusing to share details of its plans for retaliation against Iran with the Biden administration.

American officials are frustrated that they have been repeatedly "caught off guard" by Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and they are trying to prevent further escalation.

However, the US does not have information on the timing and targets of the alleged strike, and Washington had expected to receive this data during the visit of Defense Minister Gallant, which was postponed at Netanyahu's request.

🔻It sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

Especially after the media trumpeted that the Israelis had notified the US about planned assassinations of Hassan Nasrallah and the start of an operation in Lebanon. And before that, about the progress of other events in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli leadership provides the Americans more than enough information. And the Pentagon was directly involved in planning the response to Iranian attacks. Do you think that's why the head of Central Command, Michael Kurilla, came to Israel.

But the picture of US ignorance in the controlled media is needed to justify why the White House does not prevent the Israelis from committing genocide against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. Namely, that the US is completely unaware.

🇰🇵🇺🇸 North Korea's Kim Jong Un visits missile bases, cites US nuclear threat

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has visited missile bases to examine their readiness to undertake actions of "strategic deterrence", while calling US nuclear capabilities a growing threat to the country.

The US strategic nuclear arsenal poses an "ever-increasing threat" to North Korea's security environment, which demands that Pyongyang maintain a strict counteraction posture of its nuclear forces.

Kim also called for the modernization of the armed forces by giving priority to strategic missiles in the future, calling it "an important principle of the strategy for building national defense."

🇦🇺🇺🇸 The purges on Twitter/X continue: the other day, the account of the Australian blogger Semyon Boikov, known as @AussieCossack, was blocked.

In Australia, this was eagerly awaited by many opponents of Russia, and it's curious that this event was even celebrated by Prime Minister Albanese, who really doesn't like jokes on social media about his person.

📌 Before the US presidential elections, not only the accounts of official media, but also independent bloggers and think tanks began to be blocked on social media. An illustration of this is the blocking of our account this month.

In 2016, large-scale blockades were also carried out in a similar way under the guise of "identifying a database of accounts that are allegedly associated with interference in the elections".

🔻 And as we can see, nothing has changed in eight years. Although after Elon Musk bought "Twitter", there were many conversations that now freedom of speech would begin.

But as we have said before, it is clearly not worth considering Musk a hero who is not afraid to go against the established system: under him, the rules of "Twitter" continue to work in the interests of globalists.

🇰🇵🇰🇷🇺🇸🇯🇵 North Korea says US, Japan, South Korea drills justify its nuclear reinforcement

North Korea's Kim Yo Jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said military drills by the United States, Japan and South Korea justify North Korea's nuclear reinforcement, state media KCNA said.

Kim criticized the air drill they conducted after North Korea tested a huge new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile dubbed Hwasong-19 last week, as well as "more than 20" military drills the allies have conducted this year.

Given such threats, North Korea will not be swayed from the path of strengthening its nuclear deterrent, KCNA said.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 On the authorization to use long-range missiles

Since the Americans, in the person of the outgoing administration, have decided that there is no need to sit quietly on a Sunday evening and, apparently, have given the green light to the use of ATACMS against old Russian territories, it's time to recall our September post when the rumors on this topic just began.

🔻From the point of view of possible threats, the most powerful modification of ATACMS can reach a distance of 300 km, which creates a threat to command posts, airfields, places of deployment of personnel and hospitals where our wounded are located.

This will at least force tactical-level units to react, as additional protection, especially air defense assets, and not only, will be needed. We are talking about elementary human ingenuity, that is, some will need to understand that building and moving in columns will become even more dangerous.

❗️And another nuance is that if Washington really allowed the use of ballistic missiles, other countries will follow the US and, in addition to ATACMS, Storm Shadow and SCALP will fly to the Kursk region. And Taurus may also appear (Scholz is also on the verge of leaving the German Olympus).

Therefore, it's time to look at the map, on which we also marked the range of JASSM cruise missiles, which can hit even further. This is another step towards increasing the degree of conflict to the extreme point, which will not change the outcome, but will create big problems.

The example of Crimea and the new territories is a confirmation of this. Difficulties arose, strikes were sometimes missed, but subsequently the number of missed missiles became less and less, and the enemy did not achieve practical benefit.

🔻For now, we should wait for an official confirmation from the White House, which is keeping silent. And all this at the moment looks like a test of the response of our leadership, especially after the words of Vladimir Putin that this will be regarded as NATO's entry into the conflict.

🇩🇪🇱🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪 On incidents with underwater cables in the Baltic Sea

Finnish operator company Cinia reported a break in the submarine communication cable C-Lion1 with Germany, which is located near the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The reason for the problem has not yet been named.

This is the only Finnish telecommunications cable running underwater and connecting Finland to Europe. It is about 1,200 km long and runs from the Finnish Hanko to the German Rostock.

A few hours later, Lithuanians and Swedes reported a similar incident on the NordBalt cable, which was later called sabotage. And this happened exactly where the Finnish-German cable was cut.

🔻The situation is very interesting.

The day before yesterday, we wrote that on November 18, that is, today, the NATO exercise Freezing Winds-2024 is starting in the Gulf of Finland and at the Dragsvík training ground in southern Finland, with the participation of various countries, including the USA and the UK.

The coastal area of Finland closed for training - that's where Hanko is located, the city where the telecommunications cable starts. The incidents themselves occurred near the active phase of the exercises, in which US Marines are participating.

🔻The event involves Marines from the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, US Navy from North Carolina.

In addition, from November 11 to 14, another NATO naval exercise "Merlin-2024" was held for the first time near the Swedish naval base Karlskrona, which also included underwater operations.

Of course, we won't be surprised by new outbursts about the "destructive activities" of the Russian Federation, but the situation is obvious. We're not hinting at anything, but before the explosion on the "Nord Stream", the Alliance also intensively conducted exercises in the area where it happened. Then the Baltops exercise was taking place.
