That particular piece of Russian propaganda, that I keep seeing over and over again, has been ingested by a lot of Conservative populists and the nuts over at FR who like to somehow blame the Ukrainians for everything bad that happened to Trump from 2017-2021.

I'll repost the truth here, one last time:

Has anyone noticed the collapse of the Rouble.  At this exact moment it takes 106.75 Roubles to equal 1 $USD.

That means each Rouble is worth about 7/8 of one cent.  This makes Putin that much more dangerous.  I hope calmer heads prevail

50 more days until Biden is displaced.  And these 50 days could be the most dangerous for nuclear exchange in the history of man to date.  The USA has a man dead from the neck up as POTUS, and Russia has a leader that is not making sound decisions either, who perhaps is actually unstable.

And our worthless Congress is abdicating their responsibility by removing Biden under the 25th Amendment.  Why?   Because Harris might just be worse than Biden.  From my view, both should be removed, and the Speaker made interim POTUS.  Our government is no longer functional at any level.  That includes all three branches.

Nuclear war could happen at any moment.  It would not take many dominoes to fall for that outcome.

Four for Four. Ukraine Hits Every Russian Military Target with ATACMS and Storm Shadow

Western long-range missiles are proving unstoppable—every strike has hit its mark, destroying Russian military targets despite Kremlin denials.

Illia Kabachynskyi  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  11:57

Ukraine gained approval in mid-November to unleash Western long-range missiles on Russian military targets deep in its territory. Initially, the United States permitted the use of ATACMS missiles for strikes within Russia in cases of extreme necessity. The initiative was soon backed by the United Kingdom and France, which authorized the use of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles not only on Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories but also within Russian territory to strike military targets.

This decision significantly expanded Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, allowing it to target dozens of airfields, military bases, depots, and troop deployments. Following the green light, strikes began immediately. Within a single week, Ukraine launched four precise missile strikes using ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles against Russian military targets.

Partisan Sabotage Disrupts Russian Military Supply Lines on Key Railroad in South of Ukraine

Maryna Kulakova  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  11:02

Agents of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar partisan movement Atesh carried out a sabotage operation in areas temporarily under Russian occupation in South of Ukraine, as reported by the Telegram channel group on November 26.

As a result of the partisan actions, Russia’s logistics on the railroad segment between Novooleksiivka and Melitopol were disrupted.

It was noted that electrical equipment in a relay cabinet was destroyed in the settlement of Oleksiivka in the Kherson region, near the administrative border with occupied Crimea.

The resistance group pointed out that the railroad line between Novooleksiivka and Melitopol is crucial for supplying Russian forces in the Zaporizhzhia region, who are currently intensifying their assault on Ukrainian positions.  .  .  .

Putin Expands $3,800 Sign-Up Bonus to National Guard Enlisting to Fight in Ukraine

Amira Barkhush  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  16:40

Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced that the 400,000-ruble ($3,800) sign-on bonus, initially offered to new military recruits, will now also apply to National Guard personnel signing up for service in Ukraine.

According to Putin’s decree, the bonuses are expected to be available to individuals who sign a one-year or longer contract with the Russian National Guard between August 1 and December 31, 2024. However, cadets currently enrolled in National Guard or Defense Ministry training programs are excluded from eligibility.

Putin’s directive revises a July order that initially introduced the payments to address troop shortages. Alongside federal incentives, numerous Russian regions provide additional financial bonuses, which have grown over time in response to declining enlistment rates.

At the beginning of October, authorities in Russia's Belgorod region were offering a record one-time payment of 3 million rubles  .  .  .

Russians used 19 glide bombs against civilians of Kharkiv Oblast in past day

Yana Sliemzina  -  26 November 2024  |  18:26

UKRAINE, KHARKIV REGION, Nov 26 — During the past day, the Russian army attacked Kharkiv Oblast with 19 glide bombs and 11 drones, seven of which were downed by Ukraine’s air defense forces, said Oleh Syniehubov, Kharkiv Oblast governor, on Ukrainian state telethon.

Syniehubov said the targets for the Russian attacks over this day were civilian and critical infrastructure.

Russian troops attack Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast often because of the proximity to the state border and the frontline, targeting civilian and critical infrastructure. Kharkiv is located 19 miles away from the border with Russia. 

On the morning of November 25, Russia hit Kharkiv’s center with an S-400 missile  .  .  .

Russia's rockets are marginal but its nukes don't work anymore.  That's why Putin hasn't lit any off, even though he's tried.
