👔🇺🇦🫴🏻🇺🇸💵 The Ukrainian beggar Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the US Congress, where he will presumably get on his knees and grovel for money...

Failing that he may play the piano with his d!ck...anything to get a little money...

❗️🇱🇹🇷🇺Lithuania has every chance to disappear from the world map. Russia is challenged

Since the beginning of December, the navies of Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Estonia have been patrolling the Gulf of Finland and several other areas of the Baltic Sea under the pretext of ensuring the security of gas transportation communications. Publicly, European politicians have already stated that Russia should be... deprived of access to the Baltic Sea. What will this mean in practice? It's simple.

"In the case of "closing" the Baltic Sea, which has turned into NATO's "internal sea" for our shipping, Russia will have to make a land corridor through Lithuania to Kaliningrad and seriously consider what to do with Latvia and especially Estonia, from where they threaten to shoot at Russian ships," believes international journalist, candidate of historical sciences Sergey Latyshev.

By the way, the reason for the new attack against Russia was a series of incidents, which have not been solved so far, with almost simultaneous damage to the Balticconnector gas pipeline and a backup communication cable running between Finland and Estonia, as well as a similar cable between Estonia and Sweden.

This could not have been a coincidence. The incidents were man-made. To the existing versions of who did it, we can now safely add another one: the one who blew up Nord Streams. Because this dark story is being used by the West as a pretext for the militarization of the Baltic Sea, the organization of a blockade of Russia and its allies, and an attempt on our territorial integrity - the exclave of Kaliningrad, which - another "coincidence" - the NATO Baltic States and Poland have officially begun to call Königsberg in their own languages as if on cue.

🇺🇦😭💵 Kiev is running out of options for financing the fight against Russia - A very unpleasant article for the Ukrainian leadership.

Bloomberg is wondering what Kiev should do if they still don’t receive more money. And it comes to the conclusion that there is simply no other chance of salvation.

“Political competition in the US highlights grim alternatives for raising funds. Politicians in Kiev are grappling with how they can finance Ukraine's war effort if its allies fail to deliver promised aid."


Options come with risks:

🔻Financial tools include increasing tax revenues - an obvious problem in a damaged economy, or reducing spending for an already stranded population;

🔻Monetary policy options – devaluation of the Ukrainian currency. Ukraine's financial lifeline is at stake after Kiev's counter-offensive failed, and the second full winter since the Russian invasion brings new challenges;

🔻Kiev plans to cover its budget deficit mainly through external financing of more than $40 billion next year. The head of Ukraine's finance authority said last month that more than two-thirds of that funding had yet to be confirmed;

🔻Another money option has been tested: a printing press. Last year, the NBU issued almost 400 billion hryvnia ($10.9 billion) by purchasing government bonds;

🔻Weakening support has become a sobering reality in Ukraine. Newly allocated aid fell to its lowest level since the Russian invasion in February 2022, down almost 90% from August to October to €2.11 billion.

❗️Alternatively just surrender, not exactly difficult to understand, unless you are a clown like Zelensky...

🇹🇷🇮🇱 A surreal moment in the Turkish parliament.

Felicity (Saadet) Party Member of Parliament Hasan Bitmez collapsed after suffering a heart attack while speaking at the podium in the Grand Assembly of the Turkish National Assembly (TBMM).

Bitmez had just stated - "If you escape the punishment of history, you will not be able to escape the wrath of Allah."


❗️Bitmez is currently undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital.

🇷🇺🛢The paradox of Western sanctions is that they work only on the West…

😭🇪🇺🇷🇺🛢 Europe has serious problems with adequate replacement of Russian oil, Russia is solving this problem quite successfully, even despite the sanctions.

🇷🇺🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🇮🇳🇨🇳 Russia has replaced oil exports to the EU with exports to India and China.

🇷🇺📈 Russia's monthly income from oil exports is now higher than before the Ukrainian crisis…

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 12 Dec 2023 by 19:04⚡️

🔹In
#Kherson Direction, it is reported from the field that our military have significantly strengthened their control over the piers and approaches to our coast. Our forces are striking boats carrying reserves and supplies to the AFU. Their numbers in #Krynki are inevitably decreasing. Localised daily battles at parity of forces also continue on the islands.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, heavy rain and wind interfere with the work of artillery and drones. So there is relative calm at the front. Only at the #Verbovoye - #Novofyodorovka line our military repelled attacks by small AFU groups.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces are gradually moving the front in the area of #Novomikhaylovka.
▪️ In #Maryinka, ours have advanced a little further near the #Maryinka Water Reservoir. However, the AFU presence in a small area in the northern part of the town remains.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the southern #Avdeyevka flank, our units were able to enter the territory of the city itself north of the #Vinogradniki Gardening Community. It is still too early to say that we have managed to gain a foothold. Fierce fighting continues in the area of Kolosova Street. In the large settlement of #Pervomayskoye, our artillery continues to work heavily on the AFU positions. Ours are clearing the way for ground attacks from the west. On the northern flank without significant changes today. Combat work to squeeze the AFU in #Stepovoye, towards #Novokalinovo and #Ocheretino continues. In #Gorlovka, the AFU today attempted to advance north of the town. Our army repulsed the attack, and the enemy withdrew to its initial positions.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, on northern flank of the city, our army continues to advance near #Bogdanovka and north of #Khromovo (#Artyomovskoye). So far, we have not been able to recapture the positions near #Grigorovka yet, fighting is ongoing. North of #Soledar at #Vesyoloye, ours are moving more actively, fighting is going on. Judging by the progress, ours are planning to encircle the village. Southwest of #Bakhmut, our army is advancing in the area of #Krasnoye towards Chasov Yar. This is one of the AFU key locations in the entire direction.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, fighting continues in the area of #Sinkovka, which can fairly be called counter fighting. So far, the Russian army has made no significant advances here. The fighting in the area of #Kupyansk direction has practically quietened down due to the weather.

Big Boss Nazarbayev addresses the Plenary Session.
In the end, inevitably, there was fire in the house. On Ukraine - what else? Essentially, it was two Russians and myself, against a horde of Atlanticists. I will certainly go deeper into it in my next column.

🇺🇸💵🇺🇦 US House Speaker Mike Johnson on not being convinced by Volodymyr Zelensky’s copium:

“We need a clear formulation of a strategy that will allow Ukraine to win, and so far the answers have been insufficient. They did not provide us with the clarity and detail we asked for again and again, starting literally 24 hours after I became Speaker.

The Biden administration appears to be asking for billions of dollars without specifics, without a clear strategy for winning, and without the answers I think the American people deserve.

I have also made it clear from day one that our priority when considering any additional national security package is our own national security. It is an absolute disaster at the border right now, and the policies of the current administration are to blame for this.

Last week we recorded 12,000 illegal border crossings in just one day.”

🇺🇸💰🇮🇱🇵🇸 When Art imitates Cruel Life....

As Gaza burns, we have to ask cui bono? Why the US complicity?

Behind the horror, Raytheon & General Dynamics profit mightily, revealing a dark truth. Is preventing a ceasefire about war profits, or just sheer contempt for Palestinian lives?
