"BEIJING, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday condemned threats to use atomic weapons in Ukraine, with Scholz warning that Russia risked "crossing a line" in the international community by resorting to nuclear force."
"In the first visit by a G7 leader to China since the pandemic, Scholz pressed Xi to prevail on Russia to end the war in Ukraine, saying Beijing had a responsibility as a major power to do so."
"Xi agreed that both leaders "jointly oppose the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons", according to a readout by the state-run Xinhua news agency, though he refrained from criticising Russia or calling on Moscow to withdraw its troops."
"Scholz arrived in Beijing on a one-day visit that is testing the waters between China and the West after years of mounting tensions, with talks touching on reciprocal market access, climate change and COVID-19 vaccines."

Xi, Scholz warn against 'irresponsible' nuclear threats over Ukraine
Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday condemned threats to use atomic weapons in Ukraine, with Scholz warning that Russia risked "crossing a line" in the international community by resorting to nuclear force.
However, Ukrainians have absolutely no time left if we assume that for the American "Democrats" to the elections they have to organize a "peremoga". Everyone is talking about Kherson, but it is impossible to take this city in the remaining days, provided that it will be defended, and not "regrouped" with the departure to the Krasnodar Territory. What's going on there is unclear. A full evacuation was carried out, a round-the-clock curfew was announced today. All this is under the guise of caring for peaceful lives, but I think that not only. We tried to clean up the territory as much as possible so that as little information as possible goes to the other side and I think that the Russians are waiting for a Ukrainian attack. It's more convenient this way anyway. It is more convenient and simple to defend fortified positions and crumple the advancing forces, go into a counterattack.
Однако времени у украинцев совсем не остается, если допустить что для американских "демократов" к выборам они должны организовать "перемогу". Все говорят про Херсон, но за оставшиеся дни взять этот город невозможно, при условии, что его будут защищать, а не "перегруппировываться" с отходом в Краснодарский край. Что там происходит непонятно. Провели полную эвакуацию, сегодня объявили круглосуточный комендантский час. Все это под видом заботы о жизнях мирных, но я думаю, что не только. Постарались максимально зачистить территорию, чтобы как можно меньше информации уходило на ту сторону и я думаю, что русские ждут украинского нападения. Так в любом случае удобнее. Удобнее и просто оборонять укрепленные позиции и смяв наступающие силы, переходить в контратаку.
I "love" Reuters (Bloomberg, BBC and others), those little liars.
But what actually was Scholz's trip to His Majesty Xi Jinping:
'23 hour flight for 2 hours with Chinese dictator': Bild furious at Scholz's humiliation in China - the German chancellor flew almost a day, and President Xi gave him only a couple of hours. Although Scholz brought half of the country with him to the delegation, including all the largest businesses.
“Inaugural visit to newly crowned life leader Xi Jinping! About 70 people are on board the Scholz government plane: the chancellor and his team, the secretary of state, as well as the heads of the largest German companies (Bayer, BASF, Volkswagen, Siemens, Merck, Adidas, BMW, BioNTech) And among them 23 journalists.
Chancellor's trip program: deadly insane! 23 hours flight and just two hours with President Xi Jinping (including lunch at the Golden Hall) and one hour with Prime Minister Li Keqiang - including military guard honors."

PS I can't open the original Bild article in German, probably because the Bild site is blocked in Russia. You can find it on google.
PPS There is also a video of Scholz's arrival in Beijing (no one met him, in fact):
Humiliation? Hold my (German) beer, Olaf Scholz tells us, I'll show you what it is.
Another video from the series "for The Hague". Not as funny as the last one, but also funny. They speak Russian, I'll explain. The author stands at the wall of the institution, says that this is Kashin prison. Captured Ukrainians were brought there and taught to love the Motherland - this is according to the author. In the Hague version, they are treated with inhuman tortures. Attention here, The Hague (drum roll) Prisoners behind the wall sing "Katyusha" in chorus. The author states that they had just sing the anthem of Russia before. What a feeling!

Очередной ролик из серии "для Гааги". Не такой смешной как прошлый, но тоже забавный. Говорят на русском языке, я поясню. Автор стоит у стены учреждения, говорит, что это Кашинская тюрьма. Туда привезли пленных украинцев и учат Родину любить- это по версии автора. В версии для Гааги их третируют нечеловеческими пытками. Тут внимание, Гаага (барабанная дробь) Заключенные за стеной хором поют "Катюшу". Автор заявляет, что только что до этого они пели гимн России. Каково!

БИТВА ЗА ДОНБАССPutin is shown some volunteers in red jackets who "help evacuate the residents of Kherson. I haven't seen any volunteers [who called 'People's Front'] in red jackets helping anyone with anything since June in Kherson.
But I know [individual] people who help, and they are definitely not guys in red jackets.
We still have the brutal and harsh life of the people flowing in one universe, while the life of the Kremlin, with its boys in red jackets, flows in another universe, where some masses of vacationers in striped bathing suits desperately simulate for the president. Unlearned.
"Volunteers" spin, money is siphoned off [meaning embezzlement of funding and donations by dubious groups of people and just crooks].
ЖИВОВ Z
БИТВА ЗА ДОНБАССJust for your understanding:
During my personal volunteer activities, not a single official from any government agency contacted me, nor did I offer any assistance, including moral assistance. And when I myself came forward with various initiatives to government agencies, I was invariably told to 'get lost'.
The state neither directly nor indirectly allocated a single ruble for any of my or my acquaintances' volunteer initiatives. From time to time, I've heard that the governor of Crimea helps some volunteers. But it doesn't concern me.
All those who help me are my friends and acquaintances and thousands of nonrich and well-off Russian people. And no one else.
But somewhere there are "volunteers who saved Kherson". Well, good for them.
In terms of evacuation, all assistance to Kherson residents and all evacuation processes were organized by local administration officials who came from Russia. Organized professionally. But they weren't boys in red jackets either. People with low mobility were helped in manual mode.

Our state "threw down / overturned" [cheated] people on the right bank of the Dnieper with their salaries and pensions. People did not receive anything for 2-3 months. Now Moscow's position is: you want money - evacuate. From the Russian region!
Optimization of payments to state employees is very cool. Let's optimize Belgorod. Or Krasnodar. Let's save money. After all, money is good. It's good when there is money.
Without jokes, in Kherson the most defenseless people are not evacuated, [they stayed there]. The retired people who are lying down, the disabled. They have nowhere to go. For them, moving [evacuation] is like flying to another planet. And this approach is extremely cynical.
Here are two appeals to my mail:
"Hello, can you please tell me where I should turn about child benefits, I have not received them since August. Now I am in Kherson with my daughter who is 3.5 years old.
Thank you for any answer."
"Good afternoon Roman. Could you explain what the situation will be with pensions in the city of Kherson? My mother is bedridden after a stroke. Nobody knows anything about the city itself. On phone calls no one answers.
I wonder, old people lying down, how they will be?"
I answered them that there would be no payments on the right bank, I could not help.

We took out girl with cats today: Роман Сапоньков
This is our little victory.
Kostyukevich, from 'United Russia' political party, "threw down" [cheated] her with promises, evacuating, wishing to her: "You hang in there, ok?"
The first car, which was coming from Bryansk, [had a serious breakdown]. The second evacuation car was stolen at night in Kherson.
A friend of mine helped out. Some of the readers may remember him - it was he, in the spring, not being acquainted, who read my post about helping to transport food for the shelter from Simferopol to Kherson and came from Moscow on his white Sprinter.
Yesterday the Supreme [Putin] met with some clowns in red jackets. They, living on the left bank of the Dnieper, demanded guards and escorts at the very beginning of the evacuation and at 15:00 they fled to the left bank - because it's very scary to spend the night in Kherson. At that time, simple volunteers and employees were organizing the evacuation.
Colleagues write, resentfully, that the Kremlin isn't welcoming real volunteers, that Putin was once again being slipped a fake. It's a sideshow.
So be it. The president is not a little boy who believes in Santa Claus. He has built a simulation of life around himself and is already feeling the consequences. Not the last consequences. And clowns in red jackets is not the biggest problem.
Volunteering in general is a thankless thing. It's obviously not about the red jackets and the president. By the way, I have a red jacket, and I have seen Putin a couple of times, but from a distance.
Today [we] pushed cages with cats into the car, calmed weeping women, shook hands and hugged my friend, who rushed from the other end of the region for this.
Yesterday [we] took the copter to our [military] guys. They asked us to bring the equipment by November 4. We drove along the front line [...].
Our people, Russia, these are the kind of people who come to help strangers, carry the burden on the front lines, share their last money for copters. And everything else is completely unimportant.
An step forward.

That last part from Belarus, was not that clear to me.
I think what happened was the original anti-Nazi resolution was put forward, and then debated, and then amended to include some good old fashioned Russophobia:
I think that this garbage is what Belarus was objecting to.
Ah!... Understandable. Thank you for the clarification.

US wants official of Ukrainian descent to run NATO – NYT
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s preferred replacement is reportedly Canada’s incumbent Deputy premier Chrystia Freeland
US wants official of Ukrainian descent at helm of NATO – NYT
A granddaughter of WWII Ukrainian Nazi collaborator, Chrystia Freeland, is reportedly Washington’s “prime” pick for the job

The “prime candidate” favored by Washington to replace outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is Chrystia Freeland, currently Canada’s Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, the New York Times reported on Friday.
The bloc reportedly aims to install a woman at its helm for the first time, with other likely contenders being Estonian premier Kaja Kallas, Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, former president of Croatia, who was also that country’s ambassador to Washington. The “strong contenders” list provided by the NYT corresponds with earlier media reports this year.
The selection of a new NATO Secretary General, however, is still months away and “the names that surface first” may not survive the bargaining among the bloc’s members, unnamed NATO officials told the NYT. Incumbent head of the bloc Stoltenberg was set to leave his post on September 30, but his term was prolonged to late 2023 amid the conflict in Ukraine. The NATO boss might ultimately end up having his tenure extended for another year, one of the officials reportedly suggested.
Still, Freeland is believed to be the “prime candidate” for the post of NATO chief, favored by the US itself.
“Where any of the candidates come down on support for Ukraine in the war against Russia will be a critical factor,” the paper writes.
Freeland, whose mother was Ukrainian, is known to have a strong pro-Ukrainian stance. She is the granddaughter of Michael Chomiak, described by the NYT as a “grateful immigrant to Canada” who was during World War Two a “younger man involved with a Ukrainian nationalist movement that saw the Nazis as useful foils to counter the Soviets.”
The paper didn’t mention, however, that Chomiak was a prominent Ukrainian Nazi collaborator and the editor-in-chief of a Ukrainian-language propaganda daily Krakivs'ki Visti. The outlet, published between 1940 and 1945, was funded directly by Nazi Germany and described by Canadian historian – and Chomiak’s son-in-law – John-Paul Himka as a “vehemently anti-Semitic” publication.
Freeland has been extremely ambiguous on her ancestry, not only refusing to condemn her maternal grandparents but somewhat endorsing them instead. In 2015 she wrote an essay called “My Ukraine,” stating that her Nazi collaborator grandparents “saw themselves as political exiles with a responsibility to keep alive the idea of an independent Ukraine.”
“That dream persisted into the next generation, and in some cases the generation after that,” Freeland wrote in the essay.

Throwing down the gauntlet on Bucha
"Scott Ritter challenges Andriy Shapovalov to debate war crimes allegations"
Nov 4"The Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) has labeled me an “information terrorist” for my stance on Bucha (I claim Ukraine is responsible for the atrocities that took place on April 1-2 of this year.) Elon Musk and Twitter have banned me for posts where I make this claim. It’s time to bring this issue to a head: I am challenging the acting director of the CCD to debate this issue of Bucha in a public forum sponsored by Twitter and moderated by Twitter’s content moderation team."
