All we want for Christmas is…👇🏼 Thank you for your attention on this matter.

🙏🏼 Remember the two Ukrainian soldiers that held their frontline position for 130(!!)days straight? Now they are home🥹 When rotation became impossible, the two fighters of the 93rd Brigade; Denis "Bars" & Dmitry "K2" didn’t give in, they fought & held the line in konstantinivka for months on end!

Because famously, all other nuclear weapon states are totally not threatening to the United States.

Tonight, I spent a wonderful Christmas Eve with my family. But I couldn’t stop thinking about the Ukrainian soldiers who are paying the ultimate price so that we can have a peaceful Christmas Eve. #StandWithUkraine

www.dn.no/magasinet/pe... Bare jeg som synes det er rart at DN kan skrive dette, helt uten å nevne risiko for at den vestlige verdensorden kollapser innen man skal bruke pengene? Min strategi blir samme i 2026 som 2025, selv om det ikke går overskrift i DN: Betale ned boliglånet traust og sakte.

American social media platforms are banned in Russia. Have you noticed Donald isn't sanctioning anyone over that?

The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

My dear people, since ancient times, Ukrainians believed that on Christmas night, the heavens open. And if you tell them your dream, it will surely come true. Today, we all have one dream. And we have one wish for everyone:

I must’ve been a good fella. Look at all these great books I got for Christmas! @marcishore.bsky.social @phillipspobrien.bsky.social @efinkel.bsky.social Mikael Niemi Eyvind Hellstrøm Svetlana Alexievich @maddow.bsky.social

I must’ve been good this year, because I got Intent to destroy by @efinkel.bsky.social for Christmas 🎄

All I want for Christmas is no more stupid peace plans

I got Prequel by @maddow.bsky.social from Santa🤩 I assume @jonasbals.bsky.social will approve

Look what Mrs Santa got me for Christmas. I’m one lucky fella. cc @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

I got what I wanted from Santa. Yay! @marcishore.bsky.social

Anyone with half a brain cell knows that offering russia negotiations will make them believe we are weak. So, those who talk of negotiations are prolonging the war!

Anyone seen 2000 meters to Andriivka? Do you recommend it?

We got company this Christmas. Kira is rated 14/10

Btw, why the western analytical community and the Pentagon, etc, are all trying to say Ukraine’s big problem is that they have not drafted all their people and sent them to the front, is because they are trying to shift responsibility away from their own terrible failures.

Starry Night 🌌

Starry Night

Når man ikke finner Til- og Fra-lappene. #GodtNokForDeSvina

Husk å tine multene, folkens! Det var null multer i år, men heldigvis hadde jeg litt igjen fra i fjor.

Just sent out (mostly free). It builds on the discussion I had with General Havrylov about the transformed battlefield facing Ukrainian and Russian soldiers. It discusses why reducing the number of Ukrainian soldiers at the front is the best thing possible. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Godt fra NRK om krigen. Fordi de her velger å bruke en ekspert som har vist over tid at han er dyktig. Mer av sånt, takk. 🤩 radio.nrk.no/podkast/verd...

Finally cold enough to produce snow. Maybe we get some slalom skiing after all? Fingers crossed 🤞

www.nrk.no/urix/xl/flei... Det er IKKE greit å reise til russland uansett. De som reiser støtter folkemordet i Ukraina. Jeg har ikke tid til sympati med sånne

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Donald is setting the standard that all future FIFA Peace prize recipients will follow.

You can tell which Democrats have moral courage, a conscience, values, and principles based on whether or not they're standing with trans people when it's unpopular.

The irony: He’s so clueless he doesn’t even know Ukraine has made battleships worthless. If the Trump warships ever face battle, they will quickly be relegated to submarines

Fun fact: Pinnekjøttet er 12% salt før det vannes ut!! Dvs helt uspiselig. Start utvanningen tidsnok folkens. Jeg satt mitt pinnekjøtt i vann nå.

Glass half full: 99% of Norway is laughing at the putin loving vice chairman of the Nobel Peace prize. Glass half empty: He’s the fucking vice chairman!!🤮

Av det enorme antallet på Bluesky som har sagt hva de mener om mølet til Toje, fant jeg bare en tosk som lot seg lure av Toje. Tosken sier «det er viktig å ta vare på kulturen vår». Som om Tojes brunskjorte-kultur er vår kultur🤮

That is modern war. Also, Ukraine is keeping casualties down this year by reducing the number of soldiers near the front. It is not suffering from a manpower crisis and doesnt need to draft all its young people as western analysts are always screaming.

Just did a Substack Live with Ukrainian General Volodomyr Havrylov. He gave a fascinating overview of the changes in the war. For instance, now Ukraine is close to inflicting 50% of the casualties on the Russians using only 10% of the Ukr military. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

A longer holiday read on the currently quite messy Arctic security dynamics, courtesy of the US. I hope everyone can get some rest over the holidays, despite everything !
