The aftermath of the Russian attack on Odesa last night. A post office, private homes, civilian, energy and port objects were damaged. This is Russia's "readiness for peace."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

This British commentator thinks the money is manageable, the strategic resources (intelligence, Starlink, armoured vehicles) are tougher.

Europe can defend Ukraine without the US - and it must
Only Europe can defend itself against Russian imperialism. We have the capacity. We simply need the will.

The result of the US election unleashed a ferocious feminist backlash, he says, and makes his 40-year struggle to end violence against women more urgent than ever

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I'm concerned with low numbers of likes/reposts of posts in the BSky "Ukraine Feed" . It's exponentially lower than X - even though X/Muskva is completely repressing Ukrainian commentary. Average on posts is <10?! Though I must say, my overall engagement is way higher/more productive.

In his latest speech the poisonous gargoyle (the russian dictator) said that he started the war in Ukraine because russia was stagnating…he was bored and wanted ‘dvizhukha’ - gangster slang for ‘some action’. I kid you not. #dovboyob #standwithukraine

putin referred to the war in Ukraine as "a bit of action," adding, "When we get bored, we want some action." Wow, so invading other countries is just a way to "have some fun"? The only president with dementia who desperately needs, at the very least, an electric scooter to stay entertained.

⚡️Famine and St Petersburg Economic Forum. "All our hope is in the famine [in Africa]. It means that the famine will start now. And they [G7, EU & USA] will lift the sanctions." Lesson of Breaking Bad is: All criminals always think they're one deal away from Nirvana. Perpetually.

In images I never thought I would see in my lifetime, the revolutionary Syrian flag is being raised at the Syrian embassy in MOSCOW. Few things explain the scale of Russia’s military and strategic defeat in Syria more than this.

Putin's bragging about the supposedly new Oreshnik missile was an organized propaganda show, writes Moscow Times. Outsiders weren't sufficiently scared by nuclear threats so the Russians had to invent something new www.moscowtimes.ru/2024/12/03/s...
