If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

A warehouse fire in the Russian city of Novosibirsk on Thursday was linked to military infrastructure, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, reported on Telegram.

"It belonged to a company that supported the activities of strategically important facilities and enterprises in Russia, in particular, energy infrastructure and enterprises that produce explosion-proof equipment," Kovalenko said.

Germany ponies up another IRIS-T and additional Patriot launchers to Ukraine.  Meanwhile, Biden gives another $500 million to the DoD.

Russia's Rapid Advances Near Pokrovsk Come Amid Big Losses, ISW Reports

Amira Barkhush  |  Dec 12, 2024  |  14:18


Russian forces continue to gain tactical advantages on the southern approaches to Pokrovsk but face significant losses, severely undermining their capacity for future offensive operations, ISW  reported on December 11.

According to ISW, Russian forces are likely to attempt to encircle Ukrainian positions between Novyi Trud and Dachenske in the coming days. This maneuver would provide more favorable positions for launching attacks on the village of Shevchenko, located northwest of Novyi Trud and southwest of Pokrovsk.

"Russian forces continue to make tactical gains south of Pokrovsk as they attack into Ukrainian weak points and attempt to conduct a turning maneuver to directly assault Pokrovsk from the south," the ISW wrote.

The advance around Pokrovsk is coming at a great cost for Russia. A Ukrainian brigade officer reported that Russian forces have suffered nearly 3,000 casualties in the Pokrovsk area over the past two weeks.

“Continued Russian losses at this scale will impose a mounting cost on Russia's already-strained force generation apparatus. Russian forces may well continue making gains towards Pokrovsk, but the losses they are taking to do so will temper their ability to translate these gains into more far-reaching offensive operations,“ ISW added.  .  .

Novosibirsk is almost 2000 crow-flight miles from Ukraine. The fire there is probably due to anti-Putin forces or incompetence (the latter possibly vodka-fueled).
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

North Korean special forces 'kill 8 Russian troops in Ukraine friendly fire incident'

North Korean soldiers are plugging the gap in Russian ranks after tens of thousands were killed during the ongoing war in Ukraine leaving Vladimir Putin with few soldiers to draw from

Will Stewart & Anders Anglesey  |  13:19, 15 Dec 2024


Blundering North Korean special forces fighters killed eight Russian troops in a ‘friendly fire’ strike, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence agency.

The incident in Russia’s Kursk region - partially occupied by Kyiv’s forces - came when they mistook them for Ukrainians. They opened fire on a unit of Akhmat fighters, who are controlled by Putin warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Russian region Chechnya, according to the HUR agency.

A key problem is the language barrier between Russian forces and the up to 12,000 North Korean soldiers brought in to assist Kremlin troops. This is a “serious obstacle”, claimed HUR.

“Due to [this] problem, North Korean soldiers opened ‘friendly fire’ on the vehicles of the so-called Akhmat battalion. The result was eight Kadyrov [fighters] killed.”  .  .  .

Not new. The Korean replacement troops have been shooting Russians since they arrived. They are extremely untrained in handling weapons and in warfighting behaviors. When they see a White guy with a gun, they do not distinguish between Ukrainian or Russian. Out of sheer fear, they would rather shoot to be safe than to risk being shot by the enemy.

BTW: Russian troops shoot plenty of Russian troops as well. This is not limited to just Koreans.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
