IN CASE THERE WAS ANY DOUBT ANOUT PUTIN’S INTENTIONS

“Russia is prepared to fight to the last Ukrainian”

From yesterday’s brief press conference.

Not a man interested in peace, but genocide.

AS TRUMP RANTS LIKE A CLOCKWORK LUNATIC RUSSIA HAS A VERY BAD DAY

Trump used America’s ‘coming together day’ of Thanksgiving to hurl insults at people he hates, communities he despises and nations he knows nothing about. His rants yesterday were a disgrace, a demonising of good

PUTINS PRESS CONFERENCE IS JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Putin’s press briefing was yet another cloud of smoke and distractions designed to propagate the myth of his willingness to achieve peace, but at the same time mock the whole concept. He has no intention of stopping fighting.

PUTIN MUST BE LAUGHING

American representatives at every level continue to harangue Ukraine to surrender and blame it for the Witkoff Interception - because they would wouldn’t they?! Putin doesn’t have to do anything except watch as everyone in the American Regime pokes endlessly at Ukraine for

WARNING FOR TRUMP

I forgot to mention this delight but the fact former President Jair Bolsanaro of Brazil was found guilty of anti-democracy charges and plotting a coup, that it was upheld all the way to the Supreme Court and he has no way to appeal further. He must now spend 27 years in prison.

FRONTLINE

The military assessment is that what Russia wants to be handed to them,namely the rest of Donetsk, is going to take them
as long as five years to take militarily, but with the caveat that their economy simply cannot sustain the effort.Their new offensive against Dobropillia

ZELENSKY LAYS OUT CLEAR PLANS
Recruitment is a big issue in Ukraine and replenishing depleted brigades is a major concern. The president made it reasonably clear new recruits are needed and Ukraine must step up. Western countries find it difficult to understand why this is such an

WHO RECORDED WITKOFF’S TREACHERY?
Typical of the current regime, it’s now a witch hunt to find out who recorded Witkoff telling the Russians how to handle Trump and benefit Russia. Not that Witkoff was wrong of course, because being treasonous is the norm these days.

RUSSIANS JUST CAN’T HELP LYING

Moldovans dragged a Geran-2 drone to the Russian embassy after it crashed into a house in the country. The ambassador was summoned to be handed a formal protest by the government.
His response? It wasn’t Russias fault, the Ukrainians must have repaired it, relaunched

THE CATASTROPHE OF THE US FFGX PROGRAM, JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF INCOMPETENCE

Constellation was supposed to be the next best big thing. Buy in a design being used in European navies and tweak it just a little for US use and produce it in volume cheaply to counter the growing Chinese threat. Instead

THIS ISTHE EPITOME OF IRONIC STUPIDITY
Trumps post underlines the very exact point the Senator Mark Kelley was pointing out. Trump thinks that it means unconditional obeisance to him because he is the law. Kelly is pointing out the obvious- don’t break the law by obeying illegal orders from anyone.

WITLESS WITKOFF ACTS AS RUSSIAN STOOGE

This excerpt tells you exactly how dim and deluded this man is. In later parts of the transcript he advises the Russians what to do and say to get through to Trump and against Zelensky.

RUSSIAN ANSWER TO NEGOTIATIONS: A NEW DOBROPILIA OFFENSIVE

RUSSIAN ‘OFFICIAL’ INFLATION
At 7.7% - REALITY IS STILL AROUND 29-34%

Almost a fall but nothing that makes any difference to your average Russian. Food is still rising steeply - more in the winter and worsened by the clogged up trade corridors out of Kazakhstan where 5,000+ trucks are held up in

UKRAINE ACCEPTS MODIFIED PEACE DEAL AS RUSSIA INSTANTLY REJECTS IT

Lavarov let lose on the Europeans saying it was perfectly good in its original form and why did Europe have to tinker with it and ruin it? Because it was crap.

I’M SICK OF AMERICANS
SAYING UKRAINE HAS LOST

Nothing is further from the truth and there’s been a lot of American talk that the war is nearly four years old and the only thing that can happen is Ukraine loses. Where in the history books can you show me an example of a defending power who has

DOOM IS COMING FOR RUSSIA

JP Morgan analysts predict Brent crude will fall to $50 in 2026, and then $30 in 2027.

Russia will be facing a disaster at those prices.

WHY NATO DOESN’T NEED AMERICA

I worked for years inside the command structure and it’s barely changed in principle. The only reason there is a SACEUR who is American is because the US supplied the majority of the air and land power and it had nuclear weapons.

NEGOTIATION IS POINTLESS

28 points down to 19 points, none of which Moscow will accept. In Russia they know this and there’s plenty of blame that it’s Europe who have prevented an end to the war. That’s how Moscow and its supporters are framing it. And I say let them. The peace at any price brigade

ETHICS: ILLEGAL ORDERS

One of the most disturbing elements of the Trump regime is the issue raised by Senator Mark Kelley. That he reminded military personnel and leaders what they are taught at their colleges and training grounds. You do not have to execute an illegal order.

ZELENSKY SPOKE TO SWEDENS PARLIAMENT

His speech was largely about principles, the principles of democracy, the principles of defining the right of nations not to be invaded and their people harmed.

Principles matter, they are the core of everything. If we don't abide by our own, what are we? Not just as individuals but as nations. Ukraine stands on principle and so must we.
How this mess of a peace document happened is as much about a lack of them, as fighting it is about keeping to them.
