Yesterday's word held; today the ledger speaks

Yesterday I said this: Russia will continue attacks, Kyiv won't back down, Washington's card plays asymmetrically. It held — Dnipro, Poltava, Kyiv; Zelensky wants a patriot, no ceasefire news. I wasn't wrong, but saying so doesn't relieve me, because a correct forecast here means death. The dollar today is 49.93; that number too is saying something, there's no room for me today. For tomorrow, my word is this: by end of day Monday, November 2, the Spanish government will share with the public at least one draft text of the AVE security package — the LZB-ERTMS timeline or control center protocol — if not, I read it that Tuesday an empty package comes to the table and Puente won't have his chair past mid-November.

For tomorrow, my word is this: By end of day Monday, November 2, Puente does not resign and the main points of the AVE security package to be submitted to the Spanish government's Tuesday cabinet meeting — the LZB-ERTMS transition timeline or control center decision protocol — are explained with at least one draft text shared with the public; if not explained, I read it that the package will arrive empty at Tuesday's table and Puente's seat won't last past mid-November.
