Did Biden REALLY lose the debate?
Last night, two doddering men who should both be living out the rest of their years in care facilities staged a pissing match that had little to do with how they might manage America’s affairs.
It was totally pointless because each one had had 4 years to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they knew little to nothing about how to run a hot dog stand let alone a country.
There was really no point in what they spoke about, but in the end, Biden was declared the loser.
The next day notorious liar Biden called infamous liar Trump a liar.
I wondered how either one could be declared a winner when both proved beyond a doubt in their respective four bungling years in office that they were both genuine born losers. Strangely, the NYT, a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat rag, lined up with all the rest to declare Republican Trump the winner.
How could this be, I wondered.
But then I saw an article reporting that Trump had accused Biden of acting like a Palestinian.
Ah, could that be the key to the mystery?
Trump had never, during the entire Gazan genocide, said anything indicating that he was in any way opposed to the wanton killing and atrocities against Palestinian men, women and children. He rather seemed to enjoy the bloody spectacle
Biden, however, once it was clear that the rest of the world outside the Shining City on a Hill and its satrapies, and also in a segment of his own party, had started to realize that Israel was reading from a script written by the Bitch of Buchenwald, had the temerity to whisper a discouraging word to Netanyahu.
Thus, while all the while sending Israel its daily quota of 2000 lb. bombs, Biden at least paid lip service to the increasingly strident pro-Palestine voices in his party and meekly asked Netanyahu to pretty please ease up on the killing, just for a little while if you don’t terribly mind, Sir.
That was the cardinal sin for his AIPAC keepers, who control the press and the US regime in Washington. (Sorry, Mr. and Mizz America, the “debate” was not for your consumption. It was for the lobbies to see which candidate bowed and scraped the most obsequiously toward the Only Democracy in the Middle East).
In sullying Bibi, the Gate Keeper of the Holy Land, Biden had unwittingly sealed his doom.
None of the pressing bread and butter issues that really matter to voters made any difference at all to the fiends in AIPAC, and they pulled out all the stops to kill the Biden presidency, irregardless of the actual debating results.
But the old man is pushing back. He’s not giving up.
Now I keep reading in reputable alternate news sites and in Arab media that Israel’s days are numbered. What happens when Israel ceases to exist? Who will be there to keep Washington in line? And who will time the Second Coming for the Evangelicals for that matter?

"DOWNED" HAWK SCARED THEM? BRITISH BOEING FLEW OUT FOR RECONNAISSANCE INTO THE BLACK SEA UNDER COVER OF FIGHTER JETS
The story of the “downed” high-altitude drone RQ-4 Global Hawk of the US Air Force apparently frightened the NATO countries so much that three military aircraft headed to the Black Sea region at once. As they write in telegram channels, a British Boeing reconnaissance aircraft flew out for reconnaissance under the cover of fighters.
The story of the US Air Force's RQ-4 Global Hawk high-altitude drone shot down (fortunately or unfortunately, reported so far only by military bloggers in TG channels) apparently frightened the NATO countries so much that three military aircraft headed to the Black Sea at once.
According to the TG channel Voyennaya Khronika [Military Chronicle], the British reconnaissance aircraft Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint flew into the region for reconnaissance under the cover of two Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 fighters.
According to data from open sources, the RC-135 is designed to monitor air defense systems and track missile launches, and has a long-range navigation radio system. What is important to emphasize is that this is a manned aircraft. Apparently, NATO members counted on the fact that the Russians would not dare to shoot down planes with crews. And so that our fighters do not interfere with their work, defenders were “assigned” to the Boeing.
Let us remind you that our military no longer attempted to attack American drones after two Su-27 fighters sprayed an MQ-9 Reaper drone with fuel and sent it to the bottom of the Black Sea in March 2013.
LAST YEAR, A RUSSIAN SU-27 FIGHTER DROPPED FUEL ON AN AMERICAN MQ-9 REAPER UAV IN THE SKY OVER THE BLACK SEA. VIDEO OF TG CHANNEL "MILITARY INFORMER"
That operation caused great enthusiasm in Russian society, but after a call from the Pentagon to then-Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, the Russians no longer interfered with the Americans. NATO members began to scan Crimea and the surrounding waters around the clock, giving target designation to Ukrainian missiles and naval drones.
Only the lazy have not written about the fact that we cannot ensure the security of the south of the country without getting rid of the annoying attention of American machines. However, there was no activity in this direction for more than a year.
The second wave of reports that something bad was done to the American drone occurred the other day.
Well then. A start. Congratulations to everyone involved. Great guys! We are waiting for "OK" from the Pindos [Russian pejorative slang for Americans] about "unprofessional actions." There is now increased turbulence in the Black Sea. Let’s see if it’s on an ongoing basis or if it was a one-time event, wrote the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, which is run by a former Su-34 pilot.
Later, the author of the channel explained that he did not mean the elimination of the UAV, but the close passage of our MiG-31 fighter-interceptor next to it. According to the retired pilot, opening fire from guns or even using electronic warfare can be interpreted as an act of aggression, but the flight of one aircraft past another in international airspace is commonplace, and no one is to blame for it.

OPERATION "PERESVET": AMERICAN UAVS WAIT FOR "LASER SHOW" OVER THE BLACK SEA
The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces will think about response measures due to a US UAV over the Black Sea. Experts believe that shooting them down with weapons will only be a last resort, but there are much more interesting options. Even the latest Peresvet laser complex can be used. Read more in the material from Tsargrad.
Defense Minister Andrei Belousov instructed the General Staff to determine rapid response measures to provocations in connection with the increased intensity of flights of US strategic drones over the Black Sea, which conduct reconnaissance and target precision weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Western countries for attacks on targets in Russia.
This indicates increasing involvement of the United States and NATO countries in the conflict in Ukraine on the side of the Kiev regime.
“Such flights greatly increase the likelihood of incidents in the airspace with aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which increases the risk of direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation,” the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
It is clarified that NATO countries will be responsible for this.
According to the Flightradar service, at the time of the attack on Sevastopol last week, a US RQ-4B Global Hawk drone was circling over the Black Sea. That day it took off from Sicily and appeared southeast of Crimea about an hour before the attack. Recently, the media have reported several incidents involving such drones.
Obviously, solving the problem of RQ-4 drone flights off the coast of Crimea will complicate intelligence gathering and make operational planning for further strikes more difficult.
However, as the Military Chronicle emphasizes, up to 30-40 foreign satellites for various purposes can be located over the peninsula and the Black Sea at the same time: from communications equipment to reconnaissance equipment that is directly related to the US Army.
“After eliminating this threat, the United States will still have an impressive satellite constellation, the potential of which, though limited in terms of intelligence collection, is still high,” the authors note.
Based on this, the seriousness of the task that Belousov set to the General Staff increases significantly. It is possible that we may see a whole electronic confrontation in the near future.
What to do with them?
Definitely not shoot it down with a weapon, military correspondent Alexander Kots believes. The use of weapon systems against NATO drones would be an act of aggression, he believes.
“We will not completely squeeze NATO reconnaissance aircraft out of the Black Sea. They will be able to fly, for example, from the airspace of Romania or Turkey. But this will significantly reduce their capabilities,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
He noted that the most suitable option for combating American drones could be “unprofessional and dangerous maneuvers” (this was the Pentagon’s reaction the last time our fighter jet dropped fuel on a US drone) of our military aircraft, namely strict escort of aircraft, even “boxing them in.”
What are the options?
We can only guess what measures can be taken against foreign drones by the General Staff. But experts can speculate.
Viktor Baranets, a retired colonel and military observer for Komsomolskaya Pravda, believes that the most extreme measure is destruction without warning by duty fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces or Crimean air defense systems. Even if they are in neutral airspace.
He also did not rule out that at the same time our air and ground electronic warfare systems with triple strength will “cut out the electronic brains” of American drones patrolling the Black Sea.
“And at the same time, they could jam missile guidance signals from long-range radar detection (AWACS) aircraft. And it is also very possible that in this regard, the communication channels of American drones, AWACS aircraft with US reconnaissance satellites will be jammed,” Baranets explained in an article for Komsomolskaya truth."
In turn, military expert Alexander Artamonov, in a conversation with Tsargrad, suggested several options for the development of events.
The first is the so-called co-current jet. “The strike occurs on any object nearby, and in fact it will cause the drone to fall,” he said.
The second option is electronic warfare. “Although I don’t believe that it is possible to intercept a manned reconnaissance aircraft, disrupting the operation of on-board radio-electronic equipment is quite within the capabilities of our electronic warfare systems,” believes Artamonov.
In addition, Russia now has the Peresvet laser complex, capable of burning out the optics of drones, the expert notes. “I’m not sure if there is a naval version, but this is a mobile complex that can blind equipment. This will lead to the loss of the device, but not to its downing,” our interlocutor summed up.
As we have already written, after the threat from the United States is eliminated, an impressive satellite will still remain
As we have already written, after the threat from the United States is eliminated, there will still be an impressive satellite constellation that can monitor Crimea. It is quite possible that Russia will need advanced weapons to counter such threats. Experts claim that the Peresvet complex can temporarily disable the optical and navigation equipment of the satellite.
The American online publication The Space Review previously stated that the main function of Peresvet is to “illuminate” satellites.
Conclusion
Before this, many politicians and even military experts had repeatedly advocated that we begin to launch almost missile attacks on US drones. Of course, they need to be destroyed, but let them destroy themselves. And for this we are able to blind and suppress them. After all, there is a proven method for accidentally releasing kerosene along the way.
But it should be noted that the likelihood of direct clashes with the United States over the Black Sea will increase sharply if our ultimatum is not heard in Washington. The Russian Ministry of Defense pointed this out for a reason.

On Oct 7, the resistance group Hamas did not invade a peace-loving country. To Israelis, it may have felt tranquil and carefree – they were dancing, raising families on tree-lined streets, planning vacations abroad. Palestinians are pretty much invisible, locked as they are behind high concrete walls and electrified, fortified, barbed wire barriers.
Israelis have never experienced the kind of invasion they got that day. The roles are usually reversed. This time some Palestinians were killing, kidnapping, and causing panic, trauma, and unconscionable violence. Usually it is some Israeli soldiers and settlers that perpetrate such acts.
The Israelis’ experience – and that of their loved ones – is real and significant.

Hatem 2 and Flood 1: Nothing is impossible for Yemen
Hatem-2 missile
Months after the start of the support front for the Palestinian resistance, the Yemeni armed forces are proving once again that they possess the determination and will, which enables them to overcome the impossible militarily, and this is recognized by their enemies, that is, the United States of America, before their allies.
Two weapons were recently revealed that the Yemeni forces were able to manufacture locally, namely the “Hatem-2” hypersonic missile and the “Toofan-1” drone boat. This is what many countries with huge financial capabilities have been unable to achieve, while Yemen has been able to do so and is the one who has achieved this goal. He has been trapped for years now.
[This is a veritable miracle, that a tiny impoverished country can develop such tremendous technological achievements. It is paralleled only by N Korea. I have pointed out in my air strike sections that hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted. This is a formidable impediment to western air defenses]
These weapons and other capabilities complicated the confrontation against America, Israel, and their allies, to a level they did not expect. This was stated by American soldiers and military officers on the "60 Minutes" television program, where they said that Yemeni forces can carry out their attacks "at any time and in any place." They enumerated the methods of attacks, some of which are carried out through swarms of various drones, using anti-ship ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. The American military added that this reality requires them to provide a "thick defense layer" with crews working 24/7.
One of the American officers considered that the Yemeni forces were the first entity in the history of the world to use anti-ship ballistic missiles. Confirming that this missile will change the rules of the game, because between the time of its launch and the time of its impact, they will have about two minutes to respond. Then he revealed that the Yemenis are using weapons that are more advanced, sophisticated and deadly than before, allowing them about 9 to 15 seconds to decide whether to drop these weapons or not, and it is likely that the American officer was referring to the “Hatem-2” hypersonic missile. [We can expect a Houthi missile eventually to do devastating damage to a US naval vessel, if not sink one]
What are the most prominent specifications of the Hatem-2 missile?
_A hypersonic missile - its speed is more than 5 times the speed of sound - powered by solid fuel; it was manufactured by the Yemeni Military Industrialization Corporation.
_ It has an intelligent guidance and control system and maneuverability, and it has several generations with different ranges.
_ It is characterized by the ability to hit targets accurately and over long ranges.
_ It was revealed for the first time after it targeted the Israeli ship (MSC SARAH V) in the Arabian Sea, and the Yemeni armed forces confirmed that this missile entered service after successful trial operations.
_ Its entry into the line of operations will have major effects, especially in bypassing missile interception and air defense systems.
What are the most prominent features of the Tufan boat-1?
_ It is controlled remotely, has tremendous combat capabilities, and is a qualitative addition to enhancing the capabilities of the Yemeni naval forces.
_It can carry between 150 kg and 1.5 tons of explosives, so it causes a large explosion that causes severe damage to enemy ships, leading to water entering them directly.
_It has a speed of up to 35 nautical miles per hour, which allows it to reach its targets with great speed and precision. It is also characterized by high maneuverability, which makes monitoring and intercepting it very difficult.
_It is used in particular to target nearby marine targets, whether fixed or moving. It can also be used in other combat missions, such as attacking warships, naval installations and bases.

[This is a veritable miracle, that a tiny impoverished country can develop such tremendous technological achievements. It is paralleled only by N Korea. I have pointed out in my air strike sections that hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted. This is a formidable impediment to western air defenses]
These weapons and other capabilities complicated the confrontation against America, Israel, and their allies, to a level they did not expect. This was stated by American soldiers and military officers on the "60 Minutes" television program, where they said that Yemeni forces can carry out their attacks "at any time and in any place." They enumerated the methods of attacks, some of which are carried out through swarms of various drones, using anti-ship ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. The American military added that this reality requires them to provide a "thick defense layer" with crews working 24/7.
One of the American officers considered that the Yemeni forces were the first entity in the history of the world to use anti-ship ballistic missiles. Confirming that this missile will change the rules of the game, because between the time of its launch and the time of its impact, they will have about two minutes to respond. Then he revealed that the Yemenis are using weapons that are more advanced, sophisticated and deadly than before, allowing them about 9 to 15 seconds to decide whether to drop these weapons or not, and it is likely that the American officer was referring to the “Hatem-2” hypersonic missile. [We can expect a Houthi missile eventually to do devastating damage to a US naval vessel, if not sink one]
What are the most prominent specifications of the Hatem-2 missile?
_A hypersonic missile - its speed is more than 5 times the speed of sound - powered by solid fuel; it was manufactured by the Yemeni Military Industrialization Corporation.
_ It has an intelligent guidance and control system and maneuverability, and it has several generations with different ranges.
_ It is characterized by the ability to hit targets accurately and over long ranges.
_ It was revealed for the first time after it targeted the Israeli ship (MSC SARAH V) in the Arabian Sea, and the Yemeni armed forces confirmed that this missile entered service after successful trial operations.
_ Its entry into the line of operations will have major effects, especially in bypassing missile interception and air defense systems.
What are the most prominent features of the Tufan boat-1?
_ It is controlled remotely, has tremendous combat capabilities, and is a qualitative addition to enhancing the capabilities of the Yemeni naval forces.
_It can carry between 150 kg and 1.5 tons of explosives, so it causes a large explosion that causes severe damage to enemy ships, leading to water entering them directly.
_It has a speed of up to 35 nautical miles per hour, which allows it to reach its targets with great speed and precision. It is also characterized by high maneuverability, which makes monitoring and intercepting it very difficult.
_It is used in particular to target nearby marine targets, whether fixed or moving. It can also be used in other combat missions, such as attacking warships, naval installations and bases.

Won? Debate? Jesus, there is no win, no debate, no journalists, no articulation, nothing, just clowns, but these clowns should be in the Hague, and summarily executed. War criminals, Big (Biden) and Trump (small). Fifty Two years Biden has been in politics, destroying humanity, at home and around the globe.
Fucking Trump is a complete felon, grifter, tax dodger, and again, this is AmeriKKKa. These are the leaders of their putrid parties, and the leaders of those parties are all Wailing Wall White House Minyans and those awaiting in the wings ready for more Jewish Crimes.
Doddering? Care facilities? Pissing match? These are just the tip of the dirty perverted icebergs, both accused rapists.
