Reporter: What is Xi like?

Lukashenko: He is Chinese.

Reporter: What does that mean?

Lukashenko has Trump's gift for unintentional comedy, but he's about 20 IQ points smarter

Someone launched a quadcopter with a Russian flag attached in downtown Kiev. Patriot.

The new batch of Epstein files contains several photos of passports, including Russian and Ukrainian ones. Both of these countries suffered severe human trafficking epidemics since the collapse of the USSR. It was very easy to "source" children and young women during that time, and, honestly, well into the 2000s (the crisis never stopped in Ukraine).

Russian-American relations did not sour after Putin's Munich speech, or after the 8-day-war, or after the liberation of Crimea, or during the Russiagate hoax. Russian-American relations turned bad right after Russia introduced the so-called "Dima Yakovlev Law", banning the adoption of Russian orphans by US citizens. This, combined with the Russian law against LGBT propaganda targeting minors, really ruined US-Russia relations.

If I were conspiracy-minded, I would be wondering if the "Dima Yakovlev Law" wasn't actually the "Jeffrey Epstein Law"...

In 2023, Ukraine returned to celebration of Christmas on Dec 25 - first time since 1917, when changed by Bolsheviks. We are so happy to be in sync with the Western world in our important dates.

However stupid you think these people are, they are even more stupid. "The atheist Bolsheviks invented the Julian calendar and forced everyone to celebrate Christmas according to it". Sometimes I just sit there with my mouth open.

Ukrainian hybrid warfare/terrorism activity is going through the roof before New Year's. A man acting on orders of Ukrainian intelligence tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up an oil pipeline control station in Tyumen. The FSB reports that he resisted arrest and was liquidated. He was born in Ukraine but had Russian citizenship. Quite possibly one of the first wave of Ukrainian war refugees, several million of whom were let into Russia without any vetting back in 2022. They introduced vetting later but certainly there are dozens of even hundreds of SBU agents...

On the other hand, considering there are seven or eight million current and former Ukrainians citizens in Russia overall one could say that both the political and the security side are working. There has been little Ukrainian sabotage activity considering this number and much of it using Central Asian disposable agents or under distress/via blackmail.

In any case, enjoy dead terrorist footage! Circulating this stuff far and wide to disincentivize others is good policy.

The Russian "Rubicon" Drone Center has killed a deputy department head of Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) and the head of the Operational Department of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) for Donetsk and Lugansk.

Their car was struck by an FPV drone near Konstantinovka.

Nice one. Работайте, братья!

Anyway, I wish everyone who celebrates on the Gregorian calendar a blessed Christmas, even the haters and losers!

Did not expect PETA to drop Zigger merch this Christmas

For the first time in recent years, Russian troops have captured the intact headquarters of a Ukrainian battalion

The site is in central Gulyaipole, Zapozhye region, according to what they're saying

Ukrainian forces fled so quickly that they were unable to remove or destroy maps, docs, comms, and other materials

The so-called "Russian Volunteer Corps" reports that its founder and commander, Russian-Jewish-German neo-Nazi Denis Kapustin, was killed tonight. ГОЙДА

Lavrov says Ukraine attacked Putin's Valdai residence with 91 drones and that targets for retaliatory strikes have been determined

Worth noting: this statement came ~16 hours after the fact and was aired in the middle of a Putin–Trump call

Looks serious, though. Wouldn't be surprising if Zelensky and his underlings lose their de-facto immunity from strikes in 2026

Remember when "most of Russian strategic bombers were destroyed" in the Operation Spiderslop, and now Tu-95s are conducting combined long-range strikes almost daily

Or when "99% of Russian oil refineries were destroyed", and now Russia has more gasoline in stock than a year ago

2025 definitely was a wild ride and was not without its challenges, frustrations and little triumphs. RWA's year-in-review podcast is dropping tonight!

Happy New Year & Happy New episode!

We look back at 2025 in Russia and around the world. We talk about the key events and general vibes of the passing year: war, censorship, family matters, kino, next year’s predictions, and whether a nuclear war is actually "winnable", and for whom

Go listen to our Summary of 2025

As always, it's also available on Gumroad and Boosty🇷🇺

Looks like Venezuela forgot to show up for the US–Venezuela war, much like Assad's forces failed to show up against al-Julani. Decades of paying soldiers unlivable wages have consequences.

But it’s not all about dinero. It’s about cojones, too. You can be dirt poor and still make any superpower’s hostile action against you so costly that they will leave you alone.

Take Yemen’s Houthis, for example, they successfully deterred the US because they were actually willing to fight. North Korea is essentially the roided‑out version of this. Afghanistan fits the pattern, too.

One thing is certain. Whatever justification Trump is using for the Venezuela war, Russia had a MILLION times more reasons to invade Ukraine.

All the moralizing, gaslighting garbage from the US in 2022 was just that, and some people actually fell for it.

The post-1945 world stayed mostly peaceful, with notable exceptions, thanks to just two hard truths: Hiroshima and Nagasaki scared everyone shitless, and the world split into two evenly matched military blocs.

It was FEAR and DETERRENCE that ensured peace, not the fucking UN or any Pig Stye Convention of 1899.

That said, every war's start is teeming with fake reports, even from reputable sources, so waiting a bit is wise. For example, the Venezuelan Minister of Defense seems alive, and I have no idea if this picture is real or not.

Whatever the outcome, Americans will be claiming for years that Ukraine, with a million-strong army of battle-hardened soldiers and full US/NATO support, is the same as Venezuela.

There was literally zero resistance

Venezuela, among other things, had Russian Igla-S MANPADs. About 5,000 missiles. They are designed to, for example, shoot down helicopters

Not a single Igla-S has been fired. It's an even more spectacular circus than Fordow

Makes you think, huh

In 2025, it made no sense to me why Zelensky let 18–22-year-olds leave Ukraine, while men over there are typically grabbed off the streets and shoved into vans like cattle

After hearing King Charles' Christmas speech about him being "deeply moved by the ages of the fallen: 18, 19, 20", it suddenly makes perfect sense

It was disguised as a WWII reference, but the speech itself was actually almost entirely about Ukraine: AFU troops, flags, and a massive Ukrainian choir at the end

Galkovsky, as always, is completely vindicated

Fantastic. Are you going to get the fuck out of ours, then?

"Seems those Russian air defenses didn't quite work so well, did they"

Air defenses don't work so well when they're unmanned and local Latino generals issue stand-down orders, especially after being bribed by you. Go figure!
