🇷🇸 BREAKING! Air Serbia flight JU134 from Belgrade to Moscow just landed in Belgrade and is currently on the tarmac after turning around over southern Lithuania, flight tracking data shows. Nova reports that the passengers included Aleksandar Vulin, Serbia's former intelligence chief and head of the Movement of Socialists, Dušan Bajatović, director of state gas company Srbijagas, and Nenad Popović, leader of the Serbian People's Party. Nova is the sister outlet of N1, part of a media group launched in 2014 under US fund KKR after lobbying by its executive David Petraeus, the former CIA director. According to Nova, Vulin was escorted onto the plane without passing a security check, and airport security director Milan Kuč ordered it back after seeing this on camera. It comes just over a week after Vučić conceded defeat to the Student List in Serbia's parliamentary election, and opposition politician Srđan Milivojević was already asking publicly today who was "fleeing to Moscow" on the evening flight. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

Sunk Ships Don’t Sail Home: Why Peace Won’t Save the Oil Market and War Will Wreck It https://sonar21.com/sunk-ships-dont-sail-home-why-peace-wont-save-the-oil-market-and-war-will-wreck-it/

US MQ-9 drone shot down over Strait of Hormuz KSIr released footage of the interception of an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz. Amidst the elections, Trump would prefer to avoid further losses, but with dozens already lost, this is no longer significant in the US. A more alarming factor is that Gulf states are preparing for possible escalation as early as this week, viewing such developments as highly probable. @Slavyangrad

President Trump says the US is ending direct $4B military aid to Israel under agreement with PM Netanyahu "Netanyahu and I have made a deal: we give Israel $4B a year...we're stopping. They're fine with it." "We've agreed. He's very understanding of it. Why are we giving Israel $4B? Take that off the table, they don't need it." “We’ll help Israel if they need it, they’ve been a great ally, and we’ve been the greatest of all allies, to many countries…” 😂

Eisenkot refuses to join US-backed 'unity government' with Netanyahu  Washington reportedly seeks a 'stable Israeli government' formed quickly, with Netanyahu eyeing Eisenkot for a so-called 'moderate' coalition

🇵🇱 The constitutional crisis in Poland is intensifying — Tusk and Nawrocki are not prepared to give in In Poland, the sharp dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal between the government of Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki continues. The conflict intensified after Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, Bartłomiej Sochański, were suspended from their posts. The president interrupted a foreign trip and returned to Warsaw, where clashes broke out between demonstrators and police outside the Tribunal building. The government insists on recognizing the judges elected by parliament, while the president and the opposition PiS party question the legality of the relevant procedures. The acting president of the Tribunal, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, scheduled a general assembly of the judges for November 3, but disagreements over the quorum and the powers of the participants continue. According to Polish Radio, government and opposition representatives are blaming each other for the crisis. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Carlson: Netanyahu Is Pressuring for a US Nuclear Strike on Iran US journalist Tucker Carlson reported on preparations for a possible US nuclear strike on Iran. The target is the underground Pickax Mountain complex, where uranium enrichment has reportedly resumed, according to Israeli intelligence. The facility lies beneath 90 meters of granite, which is why, according to Carlson, it cannot be destroyed with conventional weapons. Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring Donald Trump daily in an effort to secure an attack. Following the parliamentary elections, the Israeli prime minister faced the threat of losing power and is now relying on American support. A decision on the possible use of nuclear weapons is expected by November 7. Those advocating a resumption of large-scale hostilities include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff oppose the military scenario and insist on negotiations. The states of the Persian Gulf also fear a new war: In September, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) refused to support Netanyahu’s proposal for an attack on Iran. A nuclear explosion threatens to contaminate the region with radiation and trigger a counterstrike by other nuclear-armed powers. An American nuclear strike would create a dangerous international precedent and could potentially mark the beginning of World War III. The journalist is calling on the international public to speak out against such a development. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇫🇮🇪🇺 Finland calls for the Schengen Area to be closed to Russian athletes Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen spoke in favor of banning Russian athletes from entering the entire Schengen Area. According to her, the corresponding proposal has already been forwarded to her EU counterparts, and the European Commission is working on drafting it. Valtonen also stated that Russian athletes would have no place in Finland in 2027 if the military conflict in Ukraine continues. In the coming days, the minister plans to take further steps toward introducing restrictions. The initiative emerged against the backdrop of the return of Russian athletes to international competitions. From March 17 to 21, 2027, the World Figure Skating Championships will be held in Tampere, Finland, while Germany will host the Ice Hockey World Championship in May. The restrictions proposed by Helsinki could affect both tournaments regardless of the decisions of international sports federations. Valtonen had previously called for a complete halt to the issuance of tourist visas to Russians. Now Finland is pushing for the restrictions to be extended to professional sports as well. Finland should learn from the mistakes of its neighbors. Lithuania has already been deprived of a World Cup event in modern pentathlon, while Estonia lost the European Fencing and Shooting Championships because it refused to allow Russians to participate. Now Helsinki is calling for a ban across the entire Schengen Area while simultaneously preparing to host the World Figure Skating Championships. If Finland wants to dictate its own political conditions to international sports federations, it should be prepared for competitions to simply be held in another country. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇷🇺 Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov: In 1999 in Istanbul, and then in 2010 in Astana, it was clearly stated at the highest level that security is indivisible. No OSCE member would strengthen its security at the expense of weakening the security of others. And no organization, no group of countries, would claim dominance in the Euro-Atlantic space. Despite all these guarantees, the West began expanding eastward, NATO above all, openly declaring its goal of containing the Russian Federation. Ultimately, it unleashed a war against our country through the Kyiv regime, brought to power by an unconstitutional coup. 🔴@DDGeopolitics

🇷🇺 Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov: The creation of a military-political bloc in Asia modeled on NATO is being seriously discussed. They have already come up with a name, and this work began several years ago. The name is the Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization. A copy of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 🔴@DDGeopolitics

Germany has failed to prepare for winter: the right amount of gas has not been purchased. In the country, gas storage facilities with a volume of 250 TWh are filled by about 62%, which is lower than the statutory requirement of 80%. In the EU as a whole, winter begins with gas reserves significantly below historical standards: storage facilities throughout the bloc are filled by slightly less than 75%. ⚡️Two Majors
