We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Assessment for 3 Nov 2023 by 23:02⚡️
🔹I. On Avdeyevka:
1. "Donetsk" units, at the cost of mass heroism, gnaw out the borders, taking #Avdeyevka in their pincers. From the right flank to the only road leading from #Avdeyevka fortification to the west, 4.5 km are left, from the left, 4.2 km. The AFU has no large fortifications beyond the city. In theory, there is an option to slam the lid sharply shut, but I would not do that, but slowly tighten it, as we are doing so far. Well done. God willing, we will finish before the snow.
2. The AFU counterattack, actively use artillery, rockets, fpv-drones, but so far things are going well for us.
3. Ideally, complete the encirclement of #Avdeyevka. Then there are 2 options: either “unbreakable Azov” awaits us again (the conventional “Metrostroy” dug underground passages outside the city in 10 years, Koksokhim is all dug up), with daily extraction, as in Mariupol; or withdrawal and surrender of the #Avdeevka fortress. In any case, it is a serious blow for the Svidovites.
🔹II. On the #Dnieper:
1. The AFU try to get hold of the bridgehead, to develop. They are not succeeding. The situation is being corrected, including the results of the past command. It has been said many times, including by me, that the AFU is preparing in specific directions (areas). The forces and means were named, we knew how the defence was or was not organised ... God willing, Mikhail Teplinsky will rectify the situation.
🔹III. Manoeuvring of the enemy + #Zaporozhye:
1. The enemy is constantly manoeuvring reserves. They transferred reserves in the direction of #Kremennaya-#Kupyansk, so now it is difficult there. The AFU railway is still working, promptly, transferring reserves from one section to another. It is normal to manoeuvre reserves, you can do it even every week, if the infrastructure allows it. They do.
2. In #Zaporozhye they actively use artillery of various calibers. #Rabotino, #Verbovoye, they are trying to climb in small groups. Will it be possible to stop their onslaught and move forward on their shoulders? Not sure what's going now. Yes, the enemy’s resources are poor, but ours is not endless either.
3. There will be no mobilization now, at least until the presidential elections. There is a small flow of volunteers, not the same as 4-5 months ago (winter). Nevertheless, it is there.
🔹IV. In #Belgorod Region:
1. Ping-pong continues. The line is held by conscripts, local defence forces, border guards, and local Rosgvardiya (riot police, special forces). It runs every day.
🔹V. On #Crimea and the Threat in the Rear:
1. The enemy is trying to knock out the air defence.
2. We must be prepared for new actions of the GUR within the framework of sabotage-terrorist warfare, taking into account changes in delivery means (water is cold).
3. New (old) directions of threats in the rear. An attempt to shake up the situation in the North Caucasus (Dagestan). The calls of the influence group "Arrested" speaker, under the control of MI6, for “parity negotiations” should not lull and disorient. There are new attack attempts on the frontline, attempts of info war and sabotage in the rear.
🔹VI. On the Potential of #Russia and the Enemy:
1. Radiating cautious optimism, we can say that the Russian Army is beginning an imperceptible rise. We are far from the peak, but we are slowly learning to fight. New weapon systems are arriving. We are at the beginning of qualitative growth.
2. The enemy is at the beginning of a qualitative decline, which is associated with war fatigue, depletion of mobile resources, primarily motivated service life.
📌 The enemy has one chance to reverse the situation, to agree on a pause, due to which they will be able to assemble the corps again, increase motivation and attract motivated fighters.

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
