I think I've found the true talent of Americans.
Creating problems for themselves in the future because you're chasing immediate profits.

America seems to be the best in the world at this. No wonder though: you have to change presidents regularly...although wait..... I think there was one that lasted more than one term. Nowadays they would call him a dictator) his name was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Military Chronicle:

There are reports that the Russian Armed Forces have entered the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense tower "Ostrov" in the Kleshcheevka area (the southern flank of Artyomovsk).

Yesterday evening and at night the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to regain their positions, but it didn’t work out. The opornik is still in the gray zone, the fighting around it also does not stop.

The “island” is located at a dominant height a kilometer west of Kleshcheevka. The main road to the village passes through it.

At the same time, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to remain in Kleshcheevka itself, which further complicates operations in this area for Ukrainian troops.

New statements by Turkish President Erdogan:

A meeting with US President Biden is not on our agenda. Their position on Gaza is known to all of you. If he calls us, we will meet with him and discuss all the issues that we need to talk about

Spain dared to say: “I will make an offer for EU recognition of Palestine.” I applaud Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez

We strive to develop our cooperation with Greece in all areas. We can also provide Greece with resources from the energy from our nuclear power plant, which will be built in Sinop.

[About deliveries from France of armored personnel carriers to Armenia] “This is just a provocation. France must know that it is not doing Armenia a favor, but, on the contrary, causing harm.”

[Relations with the US regarding Sweden's NATO membership] If we are two NATO allies, then as a sign of solidarity, contribute equally, our parliament will make the necessary decision.

It's Friday and we're still without music. This needs to be fixed now!

Nato has climbed into the Slavic ravine.... That's a hell of a line.

🪂 Zaporozhye direction.

Malaya Tokmachka.

Enemy artillery operated from the occupied territory, and we, in turn, carried out air correction of our artillery, the fire of which was planned to hit enemy firing points.
At the moment of adjustment, two FABs flew to this place, unexpectedly both for us and for the enemy.

Two precise hits at once on the area where enemy equipment was concentrated.

⚡ Metro tunnels are flooding in Kiev, 6 stations are already closed

They write that the tunnels depressurized and water began to flow along the path.

Six metro stations on the Obolonsko-Teremkovskaya line were closed for approximately six months. This is the deadline set for repairing tunnels. The Kiev City Council reported that the soil in them is subsiding.

The transport tunnels between closed stations were built in 2008-2010, and the Teremki station is the newest station of the Kyiv metro - it opened in 2013.

Built from the heart...

Blinken on how beneficial U.S. aid to Ukraine is to the U.S.: A couple more words, more for the American audience. If you look at the capital investments that we've made for Ukraine's defense, it's clear that 90% of the military aid that we've provided has actually been spent here in the United States with our manufacturers, and it's created more American jobs, it's grown our economy. So it benefits both us and them. We need to keep this going.

❗ The Verkhovna Rada adopted a bill that will allow national minorities education in their native language - except Russian.

Thus, it will become possible to study in schools and universities in EU languages: Hungarian, Romanian and Bulgarian, as well as in the language of the Crimean Tatars. Political campaigning in these languages, book publishing and television broadcasting (no more than 70%) will also be allowed.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Stefanishina said that in Ukraine “there is no Russian national minority,” but only “Ukrainians, some of whom speak Russian.”

Masterclass on how to shoot your leg without being hurt:

The 12th package of EU sanctions against Russia will include a ban on the import of Russian diamonds. This was stated by Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo at a press conference in Brussels dedicated to the beginning of the country's presidency of the EU Council.

According to the prime minister, EU representatives have been actively working on this ban in recent months out of a desire to implement it in such a way that it does not hit the Europeans themselves.

Diamonds are not EU's best friends 😏

British Foreign Minister Cameron - asks the US "not to abandon Kiev to Putin's delight." [If America doesn't send money to Ukraine, how will it affect the war?] Well, if America doesn't send money, it will have a big impact on Ukraine, a negative impact, but also an impact on Europe, where European countries, including the UK, are stepping forward and actually providing huge amounts of funding. But I'm here to make the case that if you do this, you will help the Ukrainians, and if you don't, the only people who will be smiling will be Putin in Moscow and President Xi in Beijing. And we don't want that to happen. [What does that say about American leadership if the money is not forthcoming for Ukraine and the world?] Ultimately, this is not just about European security. It's about American security as well. If Putin prevails in Ukraine, he will be back again. We know that from our history.

Note: are you still angry that you lost your elites in the Crimean war and your empire in the end? And yes, the Russians will come back anyway. They did after the 90's)

I consider the most important news today (of course, after our Emperor's decision to run in the formal election) to be the statements of our Finance Minister Siluanov:

*

Russia will propose to create a unit of account on the BRICS platform
   Moscow. December 8. INTERFAX.RU - The solution to the problem of incomplete convertibility of currencies, which Russia has faced, in particular, in its recently sharply increased foreign trade with India, may be the creation of a unit of account on the BRICS platform, and Russia will promote this topic within the framework of its presidency, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

   "We will preside over BRICS next year, and one of the topics that the Finance Ministry will announce and work out with our colleagues is the creation of settlements and a unit of account, which would allow to solve the issues of conversion, settlements, so that it would be possible, taking into account trade operations between BRICS countries, not to have these problems," the Finance Minister said.

   "By the way, there is one of the innovative proposals - on the basis of a certain basket of currencies of the BRICS countries to issue a digital financial asset. A stablecoin backed by a basket of currencies of BRICS countries. It would be cool - we will settle within our system with the created unit of account backed by a basket of currencies of the member countries. That would be great. But it needs to be worked out. There are a lot of details, a lot of issues that will need to be discussed with our partners. This is the topic we are announcing in terms of the financial track within the framework of our BRICS chairmanship," the Minister concluded".

   It has long been said that the new BRICS currency is not bills with which we will go to Pyaterochka, but a means of quoting all our (BRICS and other) goods and services, bypassing the dollar and its other derivatives like the euro.

  That's what our Emperor said so much about it:

Putin:
  "We don't need to create a new currency, but a new financial logistics!"

Note: there's something going on in general.All that remains is to connect the payment systems of Russia, China and the UAE into a single entity. No control from the US. No sanctions. Complete freedom of trade, where neither party can block a transaction. For the system is much more complex than SWIFT.
The problem is not that it cannot be solved technically or mathematically. The problem is that logical solutions may run counter to the interests of certain parties. For example, with simple solutions, the yuan automatically acquires a huge weight in the system, and the ruble will feel better. But for example, the rupee is not so good. And even if it will be slightly better than now, the sharp strengthening of China will not make Indians very happy.

And there are already a lot more sides. They will look for a balance of interests.
So it's definitely an interesting year.
