Bankrupt Russia so that they cannot afford to make war.

The Russian economic house of cards is heading towards a sudden cascade of failures.

Sink the shadow tankers.  Must are rust buckets, so making it look like an accident should be easy for plausible deniability.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

While Ukrainian drones were striking oil depots, the Russians hit a children’s hospital in Kherson. Among the injured are three medical workers who sustained blast injuries and wounds of varying severity. In total, nine people were injured in the attack — including four children.

“Despite Costly Programs and an Intensified Family Values Campaign, Russian Women Aren’t Having More Children”

“Earlier this month, President Vladimir Putin said that “support for families” and stimulating birth rates were “the most important” of all of Russia’s national projects and strategic plans.

“Fatherhood and motherhood are happiness, and happiness should not be postponed,” Putin said at a meeting of the presidential council on Russia’s demographics.

Russian officials, who have repeatedly described its demographics and “very low” birth rate as a serious concern, are intensifying their efforts to encourage citizens to have more children.

Yet despite officials’ best efforts, experts say the current demographic situation in Russia should be viewed as a deep crisis.”

Kyiv Post (31 Oct):

Pentagon Approves Transfer of US Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine, CNN Reports

“CNN reported on Friday (31 Oct) that a Pentagon assessment has concluded that the US has enough Tomahawk long-range missiles to provide them to Ukraine without impacting its ability to defend itself – leaving the final decision on the matter entirely in the hands of US President Donald Trump.

The American news outlet cites “three US and European officials familiar with the matter” as their source for this information.”

Kyiv Post (31 Oct):

Polls Show Russians Losing Confidence in Putin Following Failed Trump Talks

“Optimism in Russia has plunged after Putin’s failed Trump talks and deteriorating economic conditions, leaving confidence in the government at a record low... new data from independent pollster Levada Center show...

...While a (slight) majority of Russians still believe that conditions will improve, the share of such optimistic respondents has declined sharply over the past six months...

The survey found that just 56 % expect a political improvement in the coming months and 51 % anticipate economic betterment – both figures representing the lowest levels recorded since early 2023.

In March, those numbers were 71% and 58% respectively.

Furthermore, only 58 % of respondents believe the current government will be able to improve the country’s situation within the year, down from 68 % in March – also the weakest since 2023.

“Sustained optimism has been eroding in recent months,” Levada wrote, noting that the share of respondents expecting near-term economic improvement rose consistently since 1994, peaked in May 2024 at 64 %, and has been dropping since.

The downturn appears to have started in mid-2024, coinciding with signs of an economic slowdown...

...As a result, not only has the number of respondents expecting worsened economic conditions grown (28 % versus 21 % in March), but the share of those uncertain about the future has jumped to 22 % from 16 % in July.

A similar trend is observed in expectations about political developments.

Evaluations had improved since the early 1990s, reaching a peak six months ago – but now, just over half (56 %) expect political conditions to improve, a drop of 15 percentage points since March.

The dip in sentiment is confirmed by other pollsters such as the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), which began to see the most common response to questions about whether life in the country or the family would change within six to 12 months revert to “won’t change” rather than “will get better.”

By late September, only 27 % of respondents said they expected life in the country to improve – the lowest since 2021 – and 34 % said the same about their family’s life, which is the lowest since 2022.”

There is no downside in giving 30 to 40 year old missiles to Ukraine.  tipping hat!!

Ukraine Destroyed Almost Half of All Russian Pantsir-S1 Systems

Taras Safronov  |  October 31, 2025  |  18:27

The Ukrainian Defense Forces have already destroyed 48% of Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense systems.

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Malyuk said that this figure has been achieved since the beginning of 2025.

According to him, the Russians produce about 30 of these self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and gun systems annually, but “the number of destroyed systems far exceeds their production capacity.”

“Since the beginning of 2025, we have eliminated 48% of the enemy’s Pantsyrs. This is now our priority, determined by the President of Ukraine,” Malyuk emphasized.

The Dutch defense analytics website Oryx reports that at least 35 destroyed Russian Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile systems have been confirmed.

At the same time, some of the losses by the Russian side are classified, so the real numbers may be even higher.

“The enemy, let’s face it, has very strong air defense. The Pantsir is the most effective against our long-range drones,” the SSU head noted.

The last destruction of the Pantsir-S1 complex was recorded in late October, when drones from the SSU’s Special Operations Center ‘A’ hit Russian air defense systems in Crimea.

Also in October, a Ukrainian RAM-2X loitering munition flew more than 100 kilometers from the front line and hit a Russian anti-aircraft system at the Luhansk airport.

The Russian army has been using the Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile system in the war against Ukraine since 2014. The deployment of these systems was recorded in Donbas during the assault on the city of Debaltseve.  .  .  .
