➡ There are signs of potential conflict escalation in Eastern Europe, as the Russian financial system shows similar patterns to those seen before the war started in 2022. The Russian ruble’s value has dropped significantly, and other currencies are also down against the US dollar, indicating that people are selling off rubles. This could be due to various factors, such as actions by wealthy individuals or foreign investors pulling out. Additionally, the Moscow Stock Exchange has seen a 25% decrease in the last six months. These events suggest that a major event may be imminent, potentially increasing the likelihood of a nuclear option.
➡ Tensions are rising between Russia, NATO, and Ukraine, with talks of preemptive strikes and potential nuclear warfare. Russia has stated it’s ready to use its weapons against Western military facilities, while Ukraine is preparing its citizens for a possible nuclear attack. There are also discussions about Ukraine possibly reconsidering its nuclear status. Meanwhile, Ukraine is considering lowering the age of conscription, and there are rumors of large-scale drone attacks in the region.
➡ The US is encouraging Ukraine to lower its military enlistment age to 18 to boost its armed forces, but Ukraine is hesitant due to lack of weapons for the increased troops. Meanwhile, there are rumors of a Ukrainian counteroffensive and potential missile transfers from the US. Amidst these tensions, the Russian stock market and currency are declining, indicating possible economic instability. Lastly, the speaker promotes a Black Friday sale on a Canadian preparedness website, expressing concerns about the future and urging people to prepare.

War 3 alert. I am currently seeing red flags with respect to the Russian financial system not seen since the beginning of the war. Just before the war began in 2022, we are seeing the exact same thing replay itself. And all of this is a harbinger for imminent escalation in the Eastern European war theater. What we’ve seen in the last 24 hours was a precipitous decline in the purchasing power of the Russian ruble, down nearly 10% in a day. Next to US dollars, rupees, yuan, it’s not just the Russian currency that is down compared to the US dollar.

It is all currencies. This means that somebody is selling rubles, somebody is dumping rubles. It could be the oligarchs, it could be foreign divestment, but something is happening. And, and this is all signaling imminent escalation because this is exactly what we’ve seen before the war began. I distinctly remember where I was when I found out that the Russian MOEX had crashed. Speaking of the MOEX, it’s down 25% in the last six months. That’s the Moscow Stock Exchange, okay? So all of this I think is rooted in a far more tangible understanding of the situation. Back at the beginning of the war, it was hysteria.

You know, people thought that it was the end for Russia and everything was going to come apart, that Russia was going to collapse. And Russia proved everybody wrong. Russia’s sanctioned economy has proven to be very self reliant and resilient in the face of global ostracization. However, this time, because we have a better grasp, this means that if there’s this much divestment, especially over the course of 24 hours, that means that they know that something big is about to go down. Okay? And when you limit Russia’s range of options, be they financial or military, that makes the nuclear option far more likely.

So we have divestment from the Russian stock market by foreign investors and possibly Russian oligarchs themselves, as well as a dumping of rubles in exchange for what? Gold, Bitcoin, Some other cleaner shirt in the dirty laundry basket. People right now are getting excited because they’re seeing the US dollar go up against other currencies. Again, this is bad because this means that we’re entering a period of global crisis. Every time people flock to dollars, that’s when you know that a crisis is imminent. Clean a shirt, dirty laundry basket. Just because a country’s currency is sought after, especially a country like the United States with so much debt, doesn’t mean that that’s going to last forever.

In fact, usually a reserve currency peaks right before it crashes precipitously. Such was the case in World War II, where the British pound at the height of World War II was the global reserve currency. Something like 85% of all transactions were done in pounds. Everybody wanted pounds. Well, by 1955, I can’t remember what it went down to, but it was much, much less. And the US Completely steamrolled the British pound. So this is bad news that the dollar is getting so strong against all other currencies? Because that means that people with money are scared and they’re looking for a safe place to put it.

It keeps the dollar propped up a little bit longer, but it also signifies imminent intensification of hostilities on the Eastern European front. Now, why is this all happening today? Does it have something to do with the supposed ceasefire that was brokered in the Middle East? Does this mean that attention is now going to be placed back on the Ukrainian Russian theater where we’re hearing US Officials in the Pentagon and the White House talking about everything from Tomahawks to nuclear weapons to provide with Ukraine? We’re talking about more aid packages, $24 billion aid packages. TRUMP is coming out with the usual overgeneral, superlative laden rants about how he’s the only guy who can stop World War Three, yet he’s done absolutely nothing to address what should be an easy win, what should be low hanging fruit, which is to criticize the Biden administration for providing Zelensky with all these weapons and ratcheting up the conflict when he hasn’t even entered into office yet, clearly trying to in some way sabotage the relationship between Trump and Vladimir Putin.

So Trump would be in a very good position right now to call Biden out and say, why are you doing this? Unless, of course, this is a bipartisan decision, which I, well, think it is. I think you guys know where I stand with that. Foreign policy ain’t going to change. Trump will do everything he said when it comes to domestic policy. I believe him on that much. But I don’t think that foreign policy is going to change. In fact, I think it could potentially get much, much worse. Here’s what’s going down today. Russia has called for the mobilization of their Sarmat ICBM missile system.

There was a failure in a Sarmat missile test a couple months ago. Vladimir Putin is now calling to expedite the production and rolling out of the Sarmat missile system. This is known as the Satan 2 ICBM. Now, this system is comprised of multiple warheads, very Similar to the IRBM that was demonstrated recently. It has multiple independent reentry vehicles, all of which are hypersonic, going over Mach 20. And each of these can carry a 750 kiloton warhead. And it could be more than that, but that’s several dozen of those 750 kiloton warheads. So we’re talking about one of these missiles being able to completely wipe England off the map.

Now, it’s not like they need the Sarmat. So people who are celebrating that the Sarmat test failed a couple months ago forget that Russia has other ICBMs that will wipe Europe and the United States off the map all the same. It’s just they might not have the range and the payload capacity, but they’ll be able to nuke the shit out of us nonetheless. And the last thing you want to do is be poking a bear and limiting the options of the Russian Federation when all we have is a stick. The more we restrict the Russian range of options, the greater the likelihood that they’re going to execute the nuclear option.

So this is the problem. The fewer options Russia has, conventionally speaking, whether it’s financial or military, the greater the likelihood that they’re going to have to resort to unconventional means. We already seen that they already used a half nuke, okay? They got as close to using a nuke as you can without using a nuke with a demonstration of the Orezhnik weapon. And they’re about to do that again, in fact, because right now the Russian MOD has ordered the airspace over the nuclear ICBM launch site in Kapustin Yar to be closed until November 30th. Now the Ukrainians claim that they successfully took out an S400 system that was positioned inside the Kursk region using ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles.

Understand what I just said? NATO just took out one of Russia’s most advanced missile defense systems. Now this is according to NATO. Of course, the Russians have not confirmed this. Even if they did, I mean, even if they don’t, I should say that’s not necessarily enough to falsify the claim. But if that is true, then that of course is a strategic asset for the Russians. The more we chip away at their ability to defend themselves from a nuclear full on NATO attack, the greater the likelihood that they’re going to have to go up the escalation ladder.

Now, in addition to that, we have massive reconnaissance activity over the Kalininglad exclave, that is the westernmost part of the Russian mainland. I guess you could say it’s an Exclave, so it’s not directly attached. There’s a Suwalki corridor that goes through Belarus and Poland. And it’s long since been suspected that if the Russians were going to launch an attack on Europe, that would be launched from Kaliningrad with presumably intermediate range ballistic missiles, possibly the missile that we just seen demonstrated. And so if NATO was going to do an attack, and in fact, I hypothesized about a year and a half ago that NATO might in fact attack Kaliningrad and that Russia might be willing to let it go if they didn’t want to go to nuclear Armageddon, I’m not so sure of that.

But the fact that Kaliningrad is now being surveilled by five reconnaissance planes, well above average of what is typical. Usually there’s one of these reconnaissance flights every day. But this signifies that they’re either really worried that the Russians are going to launch an offensive from that region, because why else would they invest all these assets in that? You know what I mean? There has to be a reason, or they’re getting ready to attack that region. Or it could be something to do with GPS interference. There’s a lot of stuff that’s going on there. There’s a potential for sabotage in the Baltic Sea as well.

So it could have something to do with that. Now, Germany, a German intelligence boss, Bruno Kahl, has warned that Russia’s hybrid attacks, cyber attacks, propaganda and sabotage are pushing NATO towards invoking Article 5. This is the first time I’ve heard a European official so openly speak about Article 5. Now, understand this is at the same time that every country in Europe, it’s become commonplace to advise their citizens to prepare for a major war. We have the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chief of NATO, Rob Bauer, talking about doing preemptive strikes on Russia. Now they are talking about sending Tomahawk missiles and nuclear gravity bombs to Ukraine.

And here we have Germany talking about Article 5. And perhaps that is why the Russian envoy to the United nations, the deputy UN Envoy, said the following. Today, he said Russia considers itself free to use its weapons against Western military facilities. Let me repeat that. Russia considers itself free to use its weapons against Western military facilities. You’ve made your choice, he said to the UN Security Council, signifying that we’ve now crossed a line and that Russia is getting ready to respond. We also seen a very terse remark from the typically quite composed and diplomatic what’s his name again, the Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov.

He had something very interesting to say. He said a few Quotes to the Kremlin’s chief reporter, the guy who always interviews Vladimir Putin. And to hear Lavrov say this, and to see him walk off so abruptly after saying it was quite something, he said the following. As Russians, we measure seven times, and we cut once. We’re slow to harness, we’re fast to ride, our patience runs out. And then he just dramatically exited the interview, speaking, of course, to the strategic forbearance of the Russians and the patience that they’ve demonstrated. And does this mean that it’s over now and they’re actually going to go for it? Are they going to up the ante and attack a NATO base in response in the same way that the envoy to the UN Security Council outlined? Is that what this means? Or does it mean that they’re about to drop a hell of a lot more reshniks on Ukraine? Or does it mean they’re going to go nuclear? Or does it mean they’re going to engage in some other kind of hybrid warfare? Because, remember, this is something that the German intelligence boss has said, so presumably he has intelligence that would inform him to say something like that.

So does he know that the Russians are getting ready to do some kind of hybrid attack, meaning not a direct military attack, but some attack on NATO critical infrastructure? It could be an undersea cable, it could be an attack on a power plant. In fact, today, and this has been ongoing for some time now, there were drones spotted at a UK base, unknown drones flying over US bases in the uk. A senior US official told Fox News that the drones do not appear to be those of hobbyists, an indication of a likely aggressive state actor being behind it.

So there’s all of this James Bond World War 3 stuff happening in the background, shit we don’t even hear about, but they’re getting ready for it. Because this is why I always introduce these videos as the Day X World War 3 update, because there is a theory within my circles that all of this is. All of these moves that are being made are getting the foundation prepared for when they finally push the button. That could be in the form of a preemptive strike by NATO, but essentially that once things start to decline, they’re going to decline precipitously.

And after that day, the world is never going to be the same. It could be the solitary detonation of a nuclear weapon. It could be a conventional strike against Europe, or in the other direction, against Russia, directly from NATO forces, not Ukraine forces. Whatever it is, after Day X, the world will never be the same again. That’s why we preppers call it the end of the world as we know it, AKA Teotwaki. Now, people in Odessa are are being prepared for a nuclear attack. There is a picture here that explains that. Instructions in Ukrainian how to act in the case of a nuclear explosion and things that you should have in the case of a nuclear explosion.

This is what they are currently seeing throughout different places in Ukraine. And of course in the last tranche of supplies the United States provided Ukraine with CBRN equipment. They’ve long since been preparing the Ukrainians to get ready for a nuclear event. They’ve put sensors all throughout Ukraine. They’ve been slowly amassing CBRN equipment for this potentiality. So it’s very possible, and especially considering that this information is pretty commonplace inside Russia. In fact, it’s on the back of all of their utility bills. Not sure if you were here for that episode, but I showed you a copy of that sent by a subscriber.

So CBRN preparedness is very common inside Russia. The UK Ambassador to Russia was summoned over Storm Shadows and by the looks of things, the meeting did not go that well. I would not be surprised if we didn’t start to see the expulsion of some of the heavy hitter diplomats inside Russia. Russia has expelled some German journalists and of course Germany has responded all the same. There’s even rumors right now that despite what Olaf Scholz is saying, they are going to send Taurus missiles as well. Because remember what Trump is saying. Europe, you got to do your part.

NATO, you got to do your part. So there is a distinct possibility that in order to appease Trump, that this could be the way that Europe makes its contribution if they want the United States to continue to support them. The Russian Ministry of Foreign affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova told made a statement with respect to the nuclear threat of Ukraine. So Zelensky recently publicly announced that Ukraine may reconsider its nuclear status. So speaking to this matter, which is rare that she and that the major state sponsored news publication would just even dignify this discourse at all. This is something you might see on some of the more fringe Pravda like Russian websites, but very seldom would TASS dignify something like this.

That’s the Russian state sponsored media. Very seldom would they even pay any sort of lip service to this. But they did. It is in the very interest of truly responsible nations to prevent this from happening. So all of this combined with the New York Times article that discussed the same, signifies that there indeed are certain lines of communication discussing the prospect of giving Ukraine Nuclear weapons. They already have the delivery platforms. Now, if Ukraine gets Tomahawk missiles, that means they now have two deployment mechanisms to use Western nuclear weapons. All the more closer we get to nuclear Armageddon as the Russian stock market and the currency crashes on the eastern side.

This is according to the Ministry of Foreign affairs in Russia. We’ve repeatedly warned Tokyo that the deployment of US Intermediate range missiles in Japan would be considered a security threat. This in response to the deployment of what I presume were Tomahawk missiles. They could be atacms in on the island of Japan. Russia would have to take all necessary steps to enhance its defense capabilities. So you see this encroachment now from the east to potentially try and draw Russian resources over to that region. Although they have North Korea and they have China. Nonetheless, this does pose a threat and it’s something that they have to factor in when making any sort of commitments of their forces into the Ukrainian theater.

We also seen in the last 24 hours the largest drone attack on Ukraine since the start of the war. The largest drone attack. Did you hear about it? Nope. 180 drones were sent to Ukraine. Ukraine says they shot down 73 and the rest were, I guess, taken off course by electronic warfare. Now, of course we know that this is likely not true. There’s no way to confirm because information is very tightly controlled in Ukraine. But rumor is, is that they’re sending some of these drones into Belarusian airspace, that they’re somehow controlling the drones or hacking the drones and that they actually sent five of these drones into Belarusian airspace and they’re just, I presume, falling somewhere in Belarusia.

NATO has called for providing Ukraine with medium range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers. The Jason’s missiles are pretty much a done deal at this point. Those, I believe some of the higher level variants can go close to a thousand kilometers or 900 kilometers. Either way, anything 500 kilometers is Moscow. So that’s what they’re going to be looking at when, you know, basically determining the scope and scale of their retaliation. Ukraine is wanting to lower the age of conscription. Now, tell me this isn’t sinister. And this is where, you know, you know, this is just.

This is sickening, to be brutally honest. When you see the videos of the guys being hauled. And now the commissars are using guns. They’re hauling these Ukrainians off the streets against the will of the people who are starting to fight back. And this is why they’re giving commissars guns, because they were too they’re sick and tired of getting their ass kicked by the common person. They’re wanting to trade the flower of Ukraine’s youth, as Gonzalo Lira used to say, in exchange for better weapons. Get a load of this. The US is urging Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 currently.

Believe it or not, I think it Was, is it 27 or 25? It’s higher than a lot of people expect. And I think it’s probably demographics. They realize that Ukraine is an aging population as is, and were they to gut, you know, all of their younger people, it would be demographic, you know, collapse, certain collapse. The US is urging Ukraine to lower its mobilization age to 18 to rapidly increase the size of its armed forces, Reuters report, citing American officials. This could mean that no matter what the money they’re throwing at mercenaries, mercenaries don’t even want to go to this war.

That’s how bad it is. And I’m sure that those are pretty exclusive circles and word gets around. So I’m sure that the word has gotten around. If you want to die or if you want to be left in a trench without ammo, go to Ukraine. That’s not a mercenaries idea of fun. Their idea is to make money and to live to spend it. The alliance has adopted a resolution which envisages the possibility of transferring medium range missiles to Ukraine. We’ll give you medium range missiles, but you gotta give us some of that young blood. These old guys dying in the trenches.

Yeah, you know, we need guys who can run really fast because according to Syrsky, they’re getting ready to do another big arrow counteroffensive, which is likely what they’re saving all of these storm shadows that they recently got for. Anyways, lowering the mobilization age which the USA is calling for does not make sense when previously announced equipment does not arrive on time, according to a Zelinsky advisor. So they’re saying why should we mobilize more guys when we don’t even have the guns right? So essentially saying, hey, we’ll mobilize more guys, but you gotta give us more guns.

Because of these delays, Ukraine does not have enough weapons to supply already mobilized soldiers. In particular, this could include Tomahawk missiles which Zelensky requested in his victory plan. These missiles fit the criteria of the resolution. Now it looks like my battery is going to die. I did not time this out. So unfortunately I think I touched on all the main points, but there is Ukraine counter offensive rumors. I was going to talk about what’s going on with Israel and the ceasefire and the war that’s starting in Syria and the insiders fleeing the market and Iran getting ready to retaliate in the ceasefire violations.

And net who say now we’re going to focus on Iran. Gonna have to save that for tomorrow, my friends. Black Friday sale is on canadianpreparedness.com 17off. Just clean it all out.

But sometimes it lets me ramble on for a bit. I just got to say man, like I can’t believe this Russian stock market decline. And the collapsing ruble is a bad, bad sign. It’s a sign that big money inside Russia is fleeing. And if they’re losing confidence, then they know something. If anybody’s going to know that the shit’s going to go down, it’s going to be the Russian oligarchs. So just factor that into your holiday plans. Talk to you tomorrow.
