The Biden administration seems eager to confirm its intent to wage a proxy war against Russia “to the last Ukrainian,” actively urging Kiev to throw more young Ukrainians into the meatgrinder that is the front line.
According to recent media reports, the US is pressuring Ukraine into reducing the military connoscription age from the current 25 years to 18 to help Kiev’s war machine cope with its losses.
Who in the US wants to send young Ukrainians to their deaths?
US politicians have been demanding an explanation why Ukrainians between the ages of 18 and 25 are not being mobilized, arguing that Americans as young as 19 were drafted in the US during Vietnam War.
“You’re in a fight for your life, so you should be serving — not at 25 or 27,” US Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said in March.
In 2022, Graham also declared that, as long as the US provides Kiev with financial and military support, Ukraine “will fight to the last person.”
His sentiment was echoed by such US politicians and military officials as Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Senator Mitch McConnell, Senator and the next Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and current Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
All of them essentially argued that Ukraine should mobilize more troops, even if it would mean forcibly drafting younger demographics.
One Ukrainian government official even claimed in October that US politicians “from both parties” are seek to pressure Kiev into drafting young Ukrainians.
Meanwhile, tech mogul and President-elect Donald Trump’s close ally Elon Musk did not seem fond of this drive to press-gang younger and younger Ukrainians.
“How many more need to die?” he pointedly inquired on X in a response to the story about the Biden administration's efforts to have Ukraine lower the draft age.
Kiev has already lowered the connoscription age once from 27 to 25 in April.

Elena Yusupovskaya, junior researcher at the Institute of Bionic Technologies and Engineering, Sechenov University, shared details about the innovative device with Sputnik.
"This cardiac patch is a more compact alternative to traditional Holter monitors," she explained. "It can be worn for up to 14 days, continuously recording ECG data and transmitting it via Bluetooth to both the user’s phone and their doctor. The data is then processed using artificial intelligence to detect irregularities, such as arrhythmias or early signs of cardiovascular disease, alerting healthcare providers to potential issues."

'Ursulagate': New book bashes von der Leyen's corrupt deal with Big Pharma
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's actions during the COVID crisis have been put under microscope by Belgian democracy activist Frédéric Baldan, who accuses her of corruption, pursuing vested interests and colluding with US Big Pharma. Baldan's book "UrsulaGates: Compromise by lobbies" was officially released on November 20.
In April 2023, the Belgian lobbyist filed a criminal complaint against von der Leyen, alleging abuse of office, destruction of documents, and corruption while negotiating a vaccine deal with Bourla. The 1.8 billion vaccine doses turned out to be excessive and money was wasted, according to the accuser.
In July, the General Court of the European Union ruled von der Leyen was not transparent enough about COVID-19 vaccine contracts. However, the European Commission threw its weight behind the politician, while the European People’s Party downplayed the court's ruling. The plaintiff's request for the party and EC to ban von der Leyen's candidacy for the high office was rejected.
The "Pfizer-gate" has not prevented von der Leyen from being re-elected, but questions raised by Baldan still require answers.

Baldan's book "UrsulaGates: Compromise by lobbies" was officially released on November 20.
"At issue is a secret text negotiation between the president and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. At stake were the right to transparency and the 35.1 billion euros offered to Pfizer on a platter," writes the author.
In April 2023, the Belgian lobbyist filed a criminal complaint against von der Leyen, alleging abuse of office, destruction of documents, and corruption while negotiating a vaccine deal with Bourla. The 1.8 billion vaccine doses turned out to be excessive and money was wasted, according to the accuser.
“What we see now is that we had an institution out of control. What von der Leyen did was really damage the image of the European institutions in Brussels,” Baldan told the press at the time. Hungary and Poland have joined the lawsuit.

US Minuteman III nuclear silos cannot hide from Russia's Oreshnik
Following giving a lesson about the destructive power of its new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile on November 21 in Dnepropetrovsk, Russia has revealed just how far the reach of these weapons extends.
Among the targets Oreshnik could potentially strike in a matter of minutes, if such order is given by Moscow, are the Minuteman III (LGM-30G) intercontinental ballistic missile silos in the United States, an important component of the US nuclear arsenal.
The United States currently possesses 400 Minuteman III ICBMs, according to the data available on the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center website.
First deployed in 1970, these ageing missiles are located at:
▪️Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming
▪️Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana
▪️Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota
Though earlier this month the US boasted a successful test launch of a Minuteman III missile – the only type of land-based ICBM the US currently has at its disposal – not all of the recent tests ended well. Only last year, one unarmed Minuteman III missile ended up being terminated during a test launch due to some kind of anomaly.
In 2021, another test was aborted prior to launch.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned today that Oreshnik is capable of obliterating protected underground targets. It was not immediately clear whether this definition extends to nuclear missile silos.

What are the ‘decision-making centers’ that may soon get a call from Mr. Oreshnik?
Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned today that the new Oreshnik intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile could be used against enemy "decision-making centers," including those located in Kiev.
What potential targets was Putin likely referring to?
The phrase “decision-making centers,” depending on the context, is often used to describe headquarters, as well as a country’s political and/or military leadership – simply put, those who make decisions, as opposed to those who act on those decisions.
In case of Ukraine, for example, that might mean high-ranking military and civilian officials who, at least nominally, lead the Kiev regime: the government, the presidential administration, or the Defense Ministry.
The phrase in question can also serve as a reference to places where the aforementioned people make decisions: military headquarters, government buildings, command centers, underground command and control bunkers.

🇬🇪🇪🇺 Georgia has suspended negotiations to join the EU until 2028
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that the country's government will not put the issue of opening negotiations on joining the EU on the agenda until 2028. Georgia is also refusing budget grants from the union until that date.
The EU has damaged Georgia's reputation by using the topic of admission negotiations as a tool for manipulation, and the decision made will help avoid it, Kobakhidze emphasized.
According to Kobakhidze, Georgia is capable of enriching the EU with its culture and potential, just as the European Union is enriching it also. To do this, the country must show European bureaucrats that they should talk to it "not with blackmail and insults, but with dignity."

Pursuit of medium-range ballistic missile technology by world players
After Russia's Oreshnik missile launch, France is considering developing a middle-range ballistic missile with a range over 1,000 km and terminal phase maneuverability to evade interception.
This development follows the US withdrawal from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019. The treaty had limited the development of ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km.
What are ballistic missiles?
Those are rocket-powered missiles that follow an arching flight path to their target.
They are categorized based on range:
▪️Short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs): 300-1,000 km
▪️Medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs): 1,000-3,000 km
▪️Intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs): 3,000-5,500 km
▪️Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs): beyond 5,500 km
What are major players’ current MRBM and IRBM capabilities?
🇷🇺 Russia

Trump-Zuckerberg's Mar-a-Lago chatter suggests imminent changes in Meta* - Facebook whistleblower
President-elect Donald Trump met with Meta* CEO Mark Zuckerberg face-to-face in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on November 27, the New York Times reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Trump has long been critical of Zuckerberg over reportedly restraining him and other conservatives on social media, withholding the Hunter Biden "laptop from hell" story, and orchestrating a “plot” against him in the 2020 election. Nonetheless, the two exchanged pleasantries during the recent encounter, according to the NYT.
Hartwig expects Trump to proceed with social media regulations under section 230 during his second term in order to "remove Meta’s ability to remove or censor political content."
He also suggests possible changes in Meta's executive leadership and even relocation of the company's headquarters to Texas or another state "that isn’t an echo chamber for certain viewpoints."
And "more importantly, taking a stricter stance against minors on the platform and enforcing strict age verification," Hartwig adds in an apparent reference to X owner Elon Musk lambasting Meta for "a massive child exploitation problem."

"Zuckerberg is attempting to curry favor with the incoming Trump administration in order to avoid criminal prosecution," Ryan Hartwig, a Facebook* whistleblower and co-author of “Behind the Mask of Facebook: A Whistleblower’s Shocking Story of Big Tech Bias and Censorship”, tells Sputnik.

Nonetheless, the two exchanged pleasantries during the recent encounter, according to the NYT.
"I think there may be some closed-door negotiations, however, given that Meta is a valuable tool for national security and surveillance of foreign countries, we may see a slight decrease in Trump’s rhetoric," the pundit continues. "Hopefully there are penalties for Meta and Zuckerberg beyond just monetary fines. Influencing other countries’ elections is one thing, but domestic election interference is a very serious matter."

He also suggests possible changes in Meta's executive leadership and even relocation of the company's headquarters to Texas or another state "that isn’t an echo chamber for certain viewpoints."
"These policy changes would include not removing any political speech and gutting most of its community standards," the pundit highlights.

In an interview with Channel 14, the Israeli Prime Minister said he ordered the IDF to be prepared for an "intense war" in case of a ceasefire violation with Hezbollah.
"What will we do in a ceasefire? First of all, we will arm ourselves. We will gather strength and arm ourselves with a strong self-production. At the same time, we will also receive weapons from the US, some of which have been stopped," Netanyahu said.
