❗️🗣😈🇪🇺🇩🇪💫PSYOP WARFARE NEWS

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Ukrainian conflict is the way in which various German governments, characterized by their incompetence, have managed to completely destroy their relationships with Putin – who, however, is the greatest Russophile in the Russian government – by unconditionally aligning themselves with American interests and sacrificing their economy to such an extent that Germany is once again embarking on a path of war against Russia in an attempt to salvage what remains of its once-powerful industrial complex.

EU leaders have begun appearing in military uniforms, following the example of Zelensky. They are preparing the population for war.

In Germany, healthcare facilities are preparing to receive a massive influx of patients, and garages are being prepared to be transformed into shelters...

The country is literally in a state of mobilization.

Ukraine's steel industry is effectively dead after Russian ballistic missile strikes knocked out all three remaining large steelworks (Zaporizhstal, Kametstal, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih) since August.

Metinvest:

As of today, Ukraine no longer has a steel industry.

The plants produced ~90% of remaining output, employed 15,000+, and had already shrunk from 21Mt pre-war to 7.4Mt in 2025.

August output crashed 57% year-on-year; September will be worse.

The sector once contributed 7% of GDP and 15% of exports — now approaching zero.

EU quota cuts, port closures, and loss of coking coal had already crippled the industry before the strikes.

Ukraine has now lost more than 500 locomotives since the current conflict began

Crucially, 60% of these losses occurred in the last eight months. Currently, Kiev is losing an average of 37-40 locomotives per month, strikes are increasing.

Winter is coming.

🇵🇸Gaza’s disabled left behind: “All our dreams are gone” | The Real News Network

In #Gaza, everyone is struggling to survive. But for people with #disabilities, that struggle is multiplied to unimaginable degrees. In this TRNN documentary report, we take you inside the refugee tent cities of Khan Yunis and into the lives of Rabab Nawfal and Suha Maqat, both wheelchair users who were champion athletes before Israel’s US-backed genocidal war on Gaza.

Editor’s Note: This #documentary report was filmed in Gaza City three weeks before the ceasefire in Gaza was shakily implemented beginning on October 10, 2025. Since the “ceasefire” began, Israeli forces have killed over 1,300 Palestinians, including 301 children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

🇵🇸Settler terror is Israeli state policy, with Zena Al Tahhan | Electronic Intifada

Israel is moving ahead with plans to build more than 1,200 settler housing units in the E1 area, east of occupied Jerusalem, threatening around 5,000 Palestinians in Bedouin and herding communities with #EthnicCleansing.

The new colony would isolate the northern and southern parts of the occupied West Bank from each other.

We speak with Zena Al Tahhan, a freelance journalist based in the occupied West Bank, about Israel’s plans, the #demolitions and #displacement facing Palestinian communities and escalating state-backed settler violence and terror. We also discuss Western governments’ narrowly targeted measures against settlements while they maintain support for Israel, and the stories missing from mainstream coverage of the West Bank.

Ukraine launches massive drone attack on Moscow as Russia votes in parliamentary elections

Russia, in turn, targeted Ukraine with missiles and drones of its own overnight, as the war between Moscow and Kiev contributes to the global energy crisis created by the US-Israel war on Iran

Cross User/App Network Attacks — Hijacking TCP Connections and DNS Cache Poisoning via a Malicious User/App (Extended Version)

Off-path network attacks against TCP and DNS (over UDP) client–server connections are generally considered impractical nowadays,due to built-in security features in these protocols, e.g. randomized TCP (initial) sequence numbers and randomized UDP source ports, respectively. In this work, we refute this presumption by demonstrating that an unprivileged malicious application running on the client (but practically off-path), when combined with a remote off-path adversary, can enable powerful network attacks against such connections.

We show how such a local remote collaboration between the malicious application and a remote adversary allows inference of sensitive connection state, including TCP sequenc numbers and DNS stub-resolver UDP source ports.
Our attacks exploit standard socket API calls such as bind, protocol mechanisms such as IP options, and operating system features
such as cBPF and procfs to infer the TCP initial sequence number (ISN) and the UDP source port in use by the connection of interest. Specifically, we take advantage of certain properties of the ISN generation algorithm as implemented in major operating systems.

We demonstrate TCP connection hijacking in Linux, Android, Windows, macOS and iOS, and DNS cache poisoning against Windows, Android and the popular systemd-resolved DNS stub resolver in Linux.

We evaluate our techniques across multiple operating systems and realistic deployment settings, including environments behind
port-preserving NAT-integrated routers. We disclosed our techniques to Microsoft, Apple, Linux and Google, which led to the release of several patches.

Record Drone Attack on Moscow. Why Now?

The enemy launched the most massive drone attack on Moscow since the start of the special military operation. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the city's air defense system intercepted over 1,600 attack drones, 450 of which were downed directly approaching Moscow. The defenders of Moscow's airspace demonstrated a near-100% effectiveness rate, with only a handful of drones reaching their targets. The result of the attack, which the Ukrainian General Staff had been planning for weeks, was a fire at one of the oil refinery facilities in Kapotnya, which had been targeted recently, and several burning apartment buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region. A grand gesture, a minor impact.

Why did they strike now? Russia is holding elections. And Kyiv is deliberately trying to disrupt them. By doing so, they are killing two birds with one stone: they are demonstrating to us and the entire world that they are not afraid to inflict damage on the enemy in its capital during a crucial state event. And, in a way, they are hinting to the West: "What kind of elections can we have in Ukraine? The Russians will be hitting us just as hard." A golden rule: when a Ukrainian says something nasty about a Russian, they are always talking about themselves.

The second reason for today's attack on Moscow is another theatrical performance by Zelensky. At a summit in Transcarpathia, he stated that he needs "another 40 days to defeat Russia." And he backed up this statement with a drone attack on Kapotnya. "Look," he seems to be saying, "see what I can do! Just a little more time, and the evil empire will be defeated! Just give me more hryvnias and patriots!"

Immediately, a well-worn anecdote about a promiscuous girl comes to mind: "I was raped there today. I'm going back tomorrow." Let's recall: the previous "40 days" from Zelensky ended with Ukraine losing access to shipping, metallurgy, gas stations in the frontline zone, warehouses, and marketplaces. And all they gained was a 24/7 air raid siren in Kyiv, empty shelves in stores, and bleak prospects for the upcoming heating season. Let's see what will be left of the "independent" state after another victorious operation by the former comedian.

🔴There is a third possibility, and we need to prepare for it above all else. The enemy is probing Moscow's airspace with drones, searching for weak points. In order to then launch a massive attack with cruise and ballistic missiles, which they are accumulating. Fragments of an unknown missile have already been found in the Moscow region. In theory, only the FP-9, with a claimed range of over 800 kilometers, could have reached the Moscow region from Ukrainian territory. But it supposedly only began testing in September.

In summary, the enemy is working to earn the money provided by Western sponsors to weaken Russia through armed conflict. Without demonstrating any significant successes, Kyiv is exaggerating even isolated successful drone strikes on Moscow to portray them as a universal victory. However, overall, the Ukrainians have failed to breach Moscow's air defense shield with their drones. Nevertheless, we need to prepare for future threats starting today.
