This fear has long existed between nations.With each advancement the fear only increases. Quantum computing as an example where a coupling AI and quantum computing dramatically increases problem solving. So they predict by 2045 this technology surpasses human kind. So at this time China has a system 100 times faster than conventional computing. So a major effort between nations to keep up in this theater of interest. Fear it or accept it but it is here already.

Xi would own Russia in just a few years, just like he does with other previous 'Belt and Road' countries.
Just like he owns us.
The smart thing would be to ally ourselves with Russia against China but Chinese money talks and Biden listens.

[Regnum] Britain today is a deeply misanthropic, arrogant island nation that has never condemned its own colonialism. This was reported by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in her Telegram channel. That’s ok — many diplomatic and non-diplomatic types around the world continue to report that Russia is also a deeply misanthropic, arrogant nation, though not at all an island. Oddly enough, Russia has never felt the need to apologize or condemn its own colonialism, whether during the empire period, Soviet period, or the current post-Soviet one, though someone is reviewing their history textbooks. So clearly these categories do not correspond to ability or inability.
“A deeply misanthropic, arrogant island nation that has never condemned its own colonialism, ruled by a family known for its long-standing sympathy for various chauvinist movements, including Nazism. This is what Britain is today,” the diplomat wrote.
Russia, naturally loathes Nazism, but has no problem with white supremacy or Jingoism...
Zakharova also cited the conclusions of the relevant UN mechanisms.
“Britain is a deeply racist state. In England, the rights of people of African descent are not respected; they are regularly subjected to systematic discrimination in all spheres of society,” she quoted the UN findings.
The diplomat cited excerpts from a report on the situation of people of African descent, which was published on the website of the UN Human Rights Council.
The report, in particular, indicates that the UN working group is deeply concerned about the human rights situation of people of African descent in the UK. The stark and unsustainable inequalities are rooted in systemic racism, bias, racially discriminatory and discriminatory policing, and the surveillance and control of people of African descent (para. 17).
“The criminal justice system in the UK is a site of racial inequality, institutional racism and individual bias, including in the police and courts (paragraph 21),” the diplomat quoted the text of the UN report.
The diplomat noted that it would take a long time to quote everything, but in addition to education, justice and health care, institutional racism is also rooted in Britain in jurisprudence, labor practice, economics and show business.
As Regnum reported , Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a plenary meeting of the Valdai international discussion club on October 5 that the West has come up with “rules” that are beneficial to it and is trying to replace international law with them. He added that Western colleagues are constantly lecturing the whole world, telling who should live how, who should follow these rules and how.
On August 24, Putin, following the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, said that the West is trying to impose the policy of colonialism on the world, only now “in a new package.”
To maintain a unipolar world, the West is trying to replace the system of international law with its own order based on “rules.” The President emphasized that no one has seen these rules, in addition, they are constantly changing to suit the situation. This, in essence, is the policy of colonialism, Putin noted.
The Russian leader noted that the United States and the West are behaving boorishly, in the spirit of colonial thinking, but this era is over. Putin emphasized that the era of colonial rule of the West over other states has already ended, and it cannot be returned. He called on Western countries to see this.
The Russian leader noted that Western policies led to wars, and now this has become especially dangerous, since humanity has acquired means capable of destroying the entire planet.

[LavkazUzel] The Ingush police officers arrested in the case of violence against the detainee were charged with abuse of power and extortion. The investigation suggested that after the detainee refused to incriminate himself, they demanded his apartment in Karabulak.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 20, investigators announced the detention of four police officers suspected in a criminal case of abuse of power with the use of violence; on October 22, they were arrested.
According to investigators, on October 5, four employees of the Malgobeksky Ministry of Internal Affairs department groundlessly detained and took a 31-year-old local resident to the police department. Then, according to the case file, they used violence against him, demanding that he confess to involvement in drug trafficking. Investigators also believe that the police extorted money from the detainee.
A criminal case against four police officers is being investigated under articles of abuse of official powers with the use of violence by a group of persons by prior conspiracy out of mercenary or other personal interest (Part 3 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and extortion in order to obtain property on an especially large scale (Part 3 of Article 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), the Russian Investigative Committee for Ingushetia reported today in its Telegram channel.
The investigation reported that employees of the Malgobeksky department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, using violence, demanded that the “wrongfully detained” local resident confess to drug trafficking. “After the man refused to admit his guilt, the accused, continuing to threaten, demanded that the ownership of an apartment belonging to the victim, located in the city of Karabulak, be transferred to them free of charge, under the guise of selling it to a person controlled by them,” the department said in a statement on its Telegram channel.
In Ingushetia, there are frequent cases of security forces using prohibited interrogation methods, but very few are brought to justice. At the same time, in the country as a whole, not a single sentence has been passed under the article on abuse of power with the use of torture since its introduction into the Criminal Code, noted human rights activists interviewed by the Caucasian Knot.

[KavkazUzel] The accused have been familiarized with the materials of the case regarding the death of Inal Dzhabiev, it has been submitted to court, the Prosecutor General of South Ossetia announced today.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the Prosecutor General's Office of South Ossetia reported in March on the completion of the preliminary investigation into the death of Inal Dzhabiev. South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev announced on March 25 that the case would go to court within a month. The Prosecutor General's Office announced new defendants in the case. Among the new accused are former Prosecutor General Uruzmag Dzhagaev, he was arrested in absentia and put on the wanted list, and former head of the Tskhinvali Internal Affairs Directorate Uruzmag Margiev, who is under recognizance not to leave. The former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia, Igor Naniev, is wanted. All of them are accused of abuse of power.
In October 2022, the Tskhinvali City Court returned the criminal case of death after interrogation of Inal Dzhabiev for additional investigation to the Prosecutor General's Office of South Ossetia. At that time, seven security officials were charged in the case, two of them, Alan Bagaev and Atsamaz Naniev, were under arrest. On October 26, 2022, the department reported the detention of five security officials in the case of Dzhabiev’s death, who remained at large. On December 1, 2022, two of the accused, Bagaev and Naniev, were released on their own recognizance. In January, Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dzhumber Bibilov (also referred to as Dzhemal), who headed the criminal investigation department of South Ossetia at the time of the death of Inal Dzhabiev, was detained; in February it became known that Bibilov’s arrest had been extended by two months . At the same time, MIA officer Zaur Gogichaev was released on his own recognizance.
The Prosecutor General's Office of South Ossetia announced today that the case of the death of Inal Dzhabiev and the infliction of bodily harm to Gersan Kulumbegov and Nikolai Tskhovrebov has been sent to court.
“The accused, depending on the degree of guilt, are charged with intentionally causing grievous bodily harm, which through negligence led to death) (Part 4 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), abuse of office causing grave consequences (Part 3 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and illegal detention (Part 1 of Article 301 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), says a message on the department’s website.
Since March, the accused have been familiarizing themselves with the case materials, Prosecutor General of South Ossetia Gennady Sobaev said in parliament today. “In March, notifications were sent to the accused in this criminal case about the completion of investigative actions, since then they have no longer been conducted. Before we sent notifications, the volume of the criminal case was 28 volumes. Now three volumes have been added to it, and it includes themselves 31 volumes. In September, when the period of stay of the accused in custody was already ending, they got acquainted with four volumes at once and turned to the prosecutor’s office with a request to send the case to the court and not to extend the period of their detention,” Sobaev said.
He noted that the prosecutor’s office, when filing a petition to extend the accused’s term of detention, did not know that they had time to familiarize themselves with the case, since filing a petition with the court is carried out in advance, and now the petition to extend the period of detention sent to the court, should be considered. Sobaev emphasized that the criminal case was received by the prosecutor’s office a week ago and today sent to court, the Res news agency reported today.
On August 17, 2020, in Tskhinvali, an official car in which the Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Naniev was was fired upon; no one was injured. Inal Dzhabiev died on August 28, 2020 after interrogation in the case of an attempt on the life of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia. On July 15, 2022, the Supreme Court of South Ossetia dismissed the criminal case against Inal Dzhabiev and Nikolai Tskhovrebov, the second accused of attempting to assassinate the minister. The court decided that no evidence was received of their involvement in the assassination attempt. The Tskhinvali City Court decided to pay two million rubles in compensation for moral damage to the relatives of Inal Dzhabiev, who died after interrogation by the police in the case of an attempt on the life of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia.
Inal Dzhabiev died on August 28, 2020 after interrogation in the case of the attempt on Naniev’s life. His death caused mass protests and a political crisis in South Ossetia: 16 members of parliament from the fall of 2020 to February 2021 boycotted parliamentary meetings, preventing a quorum from being reached. As a result, the work of parliament was completely paralyzed.
Dzhabiev’s relatives organized a 24-hour protest that took place on a square in Tskhinvali from December 4, 2020 to February 26, 2021. The opposition and protesters sought the dismissal of Prosecutor General Uruzmag Dzhagaev, but stopped the protests without achieving their goals.

Yesterday evening, two assault groups of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy, moving along the Kudasovo tract near Peschanovka, tried to approach Peschanovka. The attack was disrupted by artillery strikes of the Russian Armed Forces, and evacuation groups, under the cover of a smoke screen, took the wounded in boats to the right bank.
But at night, groups of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade were again withdrawn to the northern part of Aleshkinsky Island. Together with the Marines of the 503rd Separate Battalion of the 38th Naval Infantry Brigade, they dispersed in forest plantations along the Podstepnoe - Cossack Camps road.
There are currently no attempted attacks. However, seven assault groups consisting of the 35th, 36th, 38th Naval Infanry Brigades and the 140th Reconnaissance Battalion were concentrated along the line. Judging by their location, their main task is to consolidate in Podstepnoye and Peschanivka from the Dach side.
In Krynki the situation remains the same. A small contingent of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade still occupies several houses in the village. It is difficult to push them out of there due to the massive artillery and mortar fire of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the approaches to this area.

Vladimir Nepretvorenny surrendered voluntarily when the assault on positions by Russian military personnel began.
I got into the army on the way to the store. “On the way to work, I went to the store for groceries, at the exit of the store, employees of the military registration and enlistment office of the city of Izmail grabbed me and loaded me into a car. They were not allowed to contact relatives. They brought me to the military registration and enlistment office and literally in five minutes they gave me documents with all the stamps that I had passed the medical examination and was fit for service. After the medical examination, we were loaded onto a bus and sent to the combat zone,” said Vladimir.
The captured serviceman spoke about the situation in the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: there are military personnel who abuse alcohol, and there are drug addicts. Volunteers supply drugs to the units. Both sergeants and officers know this, he says. There are many conscientious objectors in the Ukrainian Armed Forces unit; they run away and are not looked for; others are sent in their place, the prisoner says.

After firing a series of shots, the tank leaves the position and moves to the next area. The use of the T-80 as a nomadic fire weapon is due to the characteristics of the gas turbine engine of the combat vehicle, which allows it to arrive at positions at high speed almost silently.

09:40 About the combat work of tankers and the importance of camouflage in the Northern Military District zone -video
The tank gunner-operator does not consider his combat work difficult. According to him, the main thing is to set the coordinates correctly and work closely with spotters.
“We fire mainly at enemy strongholds and manpower,” says the gunner-operator. Tankers pay special attention to camouflaging their combat vehicles. “When we arrive at new positions, we cover the tank with branches and sticks so that it can be seen as little as possible. Plus, we have cumulative gratings welded onto the tank and camouflage nets are stretched,” says the serviceman.
“To combat drones, we have special anti-drone guns and special suitcases. You open it, turn it on, point it at the drone, and its operator loses control over it - it just lands or flies away. If they fly very close, then we simply shoot them,” a fighter shared his experience of fighting drones.

[REGNUM] On October 24, the lower house of the Romanian Parliament approved a bill providing for an annual budget subsidy for the needs of the Bessarabian Metropolis of the Romanian Orthodox Church operating in Moldova. Meanwhile, the Moldavian Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church (whose canonical territory is the Republic of Moldova) is clearly experiencing bad days.

[Regnum] John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the US Security Council, called the American army's airstrikes on targets in Syria an exercise of the right to self-defense.
He expressed his opinion in an interview with ABC television, emphasizing that American targets were also attacked by “proxy groups.” And the US strikes were only self-defense.
“These strikes were largely in self-defense,” Kirby said.
As Regnum reported , Israel will try to drag Iran into the growing conflict in the Middle East, says political scientist, leading researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Blokhin .
Blokhin suggested that such attacks will be repeated, and the “first fiddle” here is played not by the United States, but by Israel, which has repeatedly said that a hybrid war is being waged against it, where Iran is using its proxy forces, for example, Hezbollah. Therefore, as Blokhin believes, the conflict zone will expand.
According to the Pentagon, the strikes were carried out in response to attacks on US troops in Syria, which were carried out by pro-Iranian groups. And the Pentagon assures that what happened has nothing to do with the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip. According to the Pentagon, the United States has not changed its approach to the Palestinian-Israeli situation.
US strikes on Iranian targets in Syria are provoking increased tension in the Middle East, and this is bad. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov announced thisto reporters on October 27.
He responded negatively to a question about fears of Russia being drawn into hostilities amid US strikes on Syrian territory. There are no such fears, Peskov assured.
“As for the strikes, critical tensions and the Palestinian-Israeli war, it, of course, provokes tensions in a broader context in the region, this is very bad,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
As Regnum reported , the Pentagon announced airstrikes on warehouses with weapons and ammunition in Syria, allegedly belonging to the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). On the night of October 27, the attack, on the orders of US President Joe Biden , was carried out by two F-16 fighter jets of the US Air Force, “all strikes accurately hit their targets.” Pentagon officials assured that there were no civilians in the area of the strikes, but did not answer questions about whether there were military personnel in the warehouses.
Israel will try to drag Iran into the growing conflict in the Middle East, says political scientist, leading researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Blokhin . He stated this on October 27 to a Regnum correspondent.
Earlier, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that the United States struck two facilities in Syria, which, according to the Pentagon, were used by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Blokhin suggested that such attacks will be repeated, and the “first fiddle” here is played not by the United States, but by Israel, which has repeatedly said that a hybrid war is being waged against it, where Iran is using its proxy forces, for example, Hezbollah. Therefore, as Blokhin believes, the conflict zone will expand.
“Some groups in the American establishment (mainly right-wing Republicans, neoconservatives) and part of the Israeli leadership view current events as a historic chance to reformat the map of the Middle East,” the political scientist said. “ They are maniacally obsessed with regime change in Iran. In Israel, someone has already said that the Hamas attack is comparable to ten 9/11 attacks.”
Therefore, Israel will try to drag Iran into a new war, which Tehran does not need at all. And if this idea succeeds, then the Americans will also join the conflict, who now have no room for maneuver at all.
As for Washington’s plans regarding Syria, according to Blokhin, the United States has already passed the point of no return here. And even if the conflict zone expands, it is unlikely that any ground campaigns will be carried out against Syria.
“However, I think that the United States does not need a big war in the Middle East now, ” Blokhin stated. “ They are facing a battle for global dominance in Asia.” And a war on two fronts is always a loss. Therefore, the United States is now trying to intimidate Iran so that it does not even try to be drawn into this conflict.”
In turn, Nikolai Plotnikov , head of the Center for Scientific and Analytical Information at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that now the United States is trying to demonstrate strength in the Middle East, because they understand that they have ceased to be the masters of a situation that is not in their favor.
“There are very strong anti-Western and anti-American sentiments in the Middle East, and some of the Arab countries support the Russian position in the Security Council,” Plotnikov said. “ And the United States needs to mind its own business.” The country is going crazy. Therefore, I doubt that the Americans now need a big war somewhere.”
Regnum news agency previously reported that, according to Austin, the strikes were carried out in response to attacks on US troops in Syria, which were carried out by pro-Iranian groups. And the Pentagon assures that what happened has nothing to do with the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip. According to the Pentagon, the United States has not changed its approach to the Palestinian-Israeli situation.
The Pentagon also clarified that the targets that were struck were warehouses where the IRGC “stores weapons and ammunition that were used” in the attack on American troops in Syria.
In addition, the Pentagon is transferring about 900 American troops to the Middle East . These are mainly operators of air defense systems, THAAD missile defense systems and Patriot complexes. These military personnel will not go to Israel, but the Pentagon does not specify where they will be stationed.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States plans to deploy almost 12 air defense systems in the Middle East.

[REGNUM] A mass grave of victims of the Volyn massacre was discovered in the Ternopil region of Ukraine. Member of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Poland Michal Dworczyk reported this on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
Dvorchik said that the remains were found in the former village of Puzhniky, Chortkiv district, Ternopil region.
“ This is the first time in more than nine years that the remains of Poles, victims of Ukrainian nationalists, have been found in Ukraine. The search was carried out by specialists (archaeologists, anthropologists) of the Polish genetic database of victims of totalitarianism ,” said a member of the Council of Ministers.
Dworczyk also noted that, in accordance with current legislation, the Ukrainian authorities were asked to agree to the exhumation, research and dignified burial of human remains.
The Volyn massacre was a mass extermination of the Polish population in northwestern Ukraine by Ukrainian nationalists during World War II in 1943–1944, which led to the death of up to 130 thousand people. The Polish authorities classify these events as genocide of the Poles.
As IA Regnum previously reported , Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukasz Yasin was fired because of statements about Volyn. Prior to this, a representative of the Polish Foreign Ministry said that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, should apologize to the Poles for the Volyn massacre. According to the diplomat, the issue of those events needs to be voiced at the highest level, since it is Kyiv that blocks its discussion during contacts between the two sides. The representative of the Foreign Ministry emphasized that the Ukrainian leader must take on more responsibility, since the Ukrainian state has not done this before.

[Regnum] The Russian FSB opened a criminal case into the assassination attempt on former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsarev. The department's Public Relations Center (PRC) reported this on October 27.
“On the night of October 26-27, 2023, an attempt was made on the life of the Russian social and political figure Oleg Anatolyevich Tsarev in Yalta. Based on this fact, the FSB of Russia has opened a criminal case under Article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Encroachment on the life of a state or public figure”),” the statement says.
It is noted that urgent operational and investigative measures and investigative actions are currently being carried out.
As reported by IA Regnum, the head of the “We are together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, reported on October 27 that Tsarev was in intensive care in a very serious condition; he had been shot. The attempt on the life of the ex-deputy was confirmed by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin , who noted that detailed information will appear based on the results of the work of law enforcement officers.
Tsarev’s relatives also confirmed the fact of the attempt on his life. As it became known, the ex-deputy was shot twice. When the ambulance arrived, he was unconscious and had lost a lot of blood. There is no information about the criminal, and there is also no information about the condition of the wounded politician.
In May, in Ukraine, Tsarev and two other ex-deputies were accused in absentia of treason. The SBU stated that there was evidence of this and accused the deputy of allegedly collaborating with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Tsarev was a deputy of the Rada of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh convocations and deputy head of the Party of Regions faction. He is known for his pro-Russian views and publicly defended the interests of the Russian-speaking population of Donbass and Crimea. He was one of the first to support the creation of the DPR and LPR and condemned the actions of the Kyiv regime.
Idle hands are the Devil’s plaything... but 70 seems a tad ambitious.
[Regnum] Traffic police inspector Denis Shch. was detained as part of a criminal case about staging 70 road accidents in the Tambov region and stealing more than 13 million rubles from insurance companies. A source in law enforcement agencies reported this to IA Regnum on October 27 .
According to investigators, in 2016–2021, a group of citizens stole funds from various insurance companies by staging road accidents. 70 such facts were recorded, the total damage exceeded 13.5 million rubles.
In the re-enactments, the group members involved 30 people - their relatives and friends who drive the car. Later, these people testified that in fact there were no accidents and they did not visit the State Traffic Inspectorate unit.
During the investigation, it was established that ten people from among the current and former employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate were involved in the commission of these crimes. One of them, 35-year-old police lieutenant Denis Shch., was detained on October 26 in Tambov. He was placed in a temporary detention center.
A criminal case was initiated in July 2021 under an article on fraud in the insurance industry (Part 4 of Article 159.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
In March, the Kirsanov interdistrict prosecutor's office sent a criminal case to court against two residents of the Kirsanovsky and Umetsky districts of the Tambov region, who agreed in advance and staged an accident. They placed their cars so that the damage already present on them would indicate an alleged accident. After that, they submitted documents to receive insurance payment, but the insurance company suspected something was wrong and contacted the police.

[Regnum] The Central Bank of the Russian Federation increased the key rate from 13 to 15% per annum. This was stated in a statement by the regulator on October 27.
“On October 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia decided to increase the key rate by 200 bps. p., up to 15.00% per annum,” the message says.
It is noted that inflation pressure has increased significantly and is exceeding the expectations of the Central Bank; the steady increase in domestic demand increasingly exceeds the possibilities for expanding the production of goods and services.
The regulator added that inflation expectations remain at elevated levels, and lending growth rates remain high.
“Under these conditions, it is necessary to ensure additional tightening of monetary policy to limit the scale of inflation’s deviation upward from the target and its return to 4% in 2024,” the Central Bank emphasized, noting that such goals imply a long period of maintaining tight monetary conditions in economics.
As Regnum reported, in 2023 the Bank of Russia raised the key rate three times already - at scheduled meetings in July and September and unscheduled in August. At the end of September 2023, the Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina , said that if the regulator had not raised the rate, the ruble exchange rate would currently be much weaker.
Director of the Federal Methodological Center for Financial Literacy, Associate Professor of the Department of Global Financial Markets and Fintech of the Russian Economic University. G. V. Plekhanov Denis Perepelitsa on October 26, in a conversation with Regnum news agency, expressed the opinion that the Russian economy needs the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to be at the level of 10–11%, provided that the stability of the ruble exchange rate is ensured. At the same time, he suggested that the Central Bank would increase it to 14%.
According to economist Pyotr Shcherbachenko , raising the key rate of the Bank of Russia may slow down the rate of inflation growth. Loans (mortgages and car loans) will naturally become more expensive, but deposits will become more profitable.
