Russia is stationing new nuclear capable Oreshnik hypersonic missiles at a former airbase near Krichev in eastern Belarus. Satellite imagery suggests launch infrastructure is already in place. The move would extend Russia’s strike reach across Europe and signals deeper reliance on nuclear threats.

The world is being held hostage by a perverse liar.

So Russia and North Corea having nuques is... Fine for those f**... Trump's world is definitely a big step backwards every day...

In which JD Vance, again very heavy on the eyeliner, insists that the UK and France having nukes is a very, very bad thing because they may well use them on us. (But Russia having nukes is a great thing... because Putin is our friend) unherd.com/2025/12/full...

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

Trump said Ukraine “has nothing unless I approve it”, it is pure arrogance. Ukraine is not a bargaining chip and Zelensky is not a subordinate waiting for permission. People need to understand this invasion is not about Trump’s ego or dealmaking fantasies with Putin. Fuck Trump.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelenskyy will propose putting the entire peace plan to a referendum at his meeting with Trump, but only if Putin agrees to a ceasefire for at least 60 days, — Axios. A senior US official told Axios that the Russian side understands the need for a ceasefire, but insists on a shorter ceasefire.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 US offered Ukraine security guarantees for 15 years with possibility of extension. I think we need more than 15 years," — Zelensky 🇪🇺 Zelensky, Trump and European leaders to hold talks on Saturday, - Axios

Zelenskyy said he'll meet Trump in Florida this weekend to discuss most politically sensitive parts of US peace proposal that would ultimately be presented to Russia. He told reporters on WhatsApp, “meeting is specifically meant to finalise as much as we can”. More TK here www.ft.com/content/4591...

Worrysome

😡 Budanov: Russia's mobilization plan for 2025 was to recruit 403,000 people. According to the head of the GUR, the enemy will exceed this plan...

Europe needs to retaliate

Un peu en retard, cet article qui explique que le problème de l'utilisation des avoirs russes gelés en Europe (surtout en Belgique), venait moins des réticences de la Belgique que de l'énorme pression américaine pour l'empêcher. (🇬🇧) www.politico.eu/article/eu-b...

‼️ Russia: “Industrial production in Russia fell in November for the first time since February.” This is according to official Rosstat reporting. Whenever you see this stuff, I urge you to remember how reporting worked in the USSR. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2025/12/24/u...

AI as an informational asbestos. Interesting.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

This is absolutly not enough. We have to retaliate.

Visa bans may be moderate, but the message isn’t: the US is signaling it feels entitled to challenge EU rules governing digital speech. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Good. We have to retaliate.

That's really worrysome.

He's so right.

Finland to expand its reservist force to 1 million. The government will raise the upper age limit for reservists from 60 to 65 years, effective January 1, 2026, adding around 125,000 reservists over the next five years to strengthen national defense.

Worth reading

1/ More and more is starting to leak out. If this is true, and I haven't found anything to contradict the information, Ukraine has found the cure for cruise missiles. Also, take into account that Russia can't produce many ballistic missiles a month.

Former Netanyahu spokesperson Eli Feldstein, reports that Netanyahu tasked him with a secret plan to help him evade responsibility for the October 7th attack.

Every day, a new low.

Il ne faut plus dénoncer, il faut des mesures de réciprocité. @jnbarrot.bsky.social

Well, that would be a gift for the whole world, for Ukraine especially but also for Russian mens.

You represented liberty. That's true. Not anymore.

Not often I find myself agreeing with John Bolton. He notes that the Witkoff-Kushner Ukraine peace negotiations are untethered to any serious analysis of U.S. national security interests. (Or to Ukraine's, I might add.) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It's becoming ever so hard to distinguish Trump's envoys from Putin's envoys.
