Satellite images and analysis by Radio Svoboda reveal that this fall Ukrainian Armed Forces struck over 50 strategic Russian energy and defense facilities, from refineries and oil depots to arms‑production plants. Analysts say this wave of hits hasn’t been seen at such scale before.

What matters more to Belgium and Europe: Protecting Ukraine’s civilians and our own survival, OR Continuing to attract money from Russia, China, and other imperialist dictatorships for decades to come? We need to decide! @deweverbart.bsky.social

He will pardon her and all of those who served under him before he leaves. And he has immunity. Get ready for all of these criminals who run this grift to walk away.

A senior employee of General Dynamics UK has posted comments on social media suggesting that crews bear responsibility for several problems associated with the British Army’s Ajax armoured vehicle. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/ajax-trial-m...

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

The UK will join Norway’s programme to develop offshore support vessels designed to deploy uncrewed minehunting and undersea-warfare systems. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=64638

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Romanian military destroyed a Ukrainian maritime drone that was "threatening navigation in the Black Sea". Imagine if they at least tried once to take down russian drones. But no, these drones fly into Romania every week like they are on a calm vacation trip and nobody cares. Absolute degenerates…

💗 Winter sunsets are phenomenal

Being a Ukrainian online is challenging. This is about the most horrific, soul-destroying experiences one can imagine. ​When a Ukrainian chooses to go online to say they are terrified, hurting, or grieving, they not only open up to strangers, but also to enemies. Social media offers no shield

Trump also prefers the $100Bn Putin is promising him if he delivers him Ukraine. Trump is just a simple crook. It’s all about what he gets from a deal.

Yes, when Trump leaned briefly in Zelenskyy's direction, it was when he thought that Ukraine could win the war. Then Putin spoke with him, and he realigned with Putin. Trump prefers winners. It is important that European leaders and pro-Ukraine Republicans to keep up this alternative narrative.

NASA nominee refuses to say if Musk was in room when Trump offered job “So I wanted to give you one more chance to set the record straight,” Markey said on Wednesday. “Was Elon Musk in the meeting at Mar-a-Lago when President Trump offered you the job?” thehill.com/homenews/spa...

It’s one of his big moneymakers.

Don’t care how Admiral Bradley has been perceived during his military career, if he called for the second strike himself, he’s to be charged, if he’s following the order of drunken Petey, they both need charged, why anybody would know the laws of war yet risk their reputation is beyond me!

If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes— Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy— I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

Euromaiden Press Dec 3 Putin claims Russian troops have seized Pokrovsk in Donesk region, calling it a “good base” for future offensives. But the ISW has no proof of full Russian control. Ukrainian defenses around Pokrovsk remain strong, terrain and weather pose,obstacles, Russians degraded.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

The Honduran President, Whom Chump Pardoned, Was Convicted By A Jury Of Americans.......

❗️NATO said that Putin will not be able to seize Donbas until the end of 2026, a high-ranking NATO official told the BBC. NATO believes that, despite the growing financial burden, Russia is capable of continuing hostilities in the current regime until 2027.

In Russia, the "Druzhba" oil pipeline has been blown up again. The pipeline was attacked near the settlement of Kazinskiye Visilki, on the Taganrog–Lipetsk section of the pipeline.

🇪🇺⬆️ Europe’s defense industry grew by nearly 14% in 2024, reaching €183.4 billion in revenue, — Bloomberg. Employment in the sector rose by 8.6%, reaching 633,000 jobs. A significant share of European defense procurement still goes to USA, creating potential supply chain vulnerabilities.

Russia is acting surgically in Ukraine; it's not a war in the literal sense of the word—Putin🤡

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

25th Amendment now.

It's the scandal that everyone in Brussels is talking about. The EU's former foreign policy chief Federica #Mogherini (also a former Italian foreign minister) has been arrested following dawn raids on the EU's foreign ministry, the College of Europe and private homes yesterday.

❗️Turkish shipping company Beşiktaş Shipping has announced the complete cessation of operations with Russia following explosions on its tanker Mersin off the coast of Senegal.

This is not an effort to end the war in Ukraine. If they are genuine about their intentions to end the war, Russia can just declare an end to their invasion of Ukraine and withdraw their troops immediately. No, this is just more subterfuge and devious ploys to rob the Ukrainians blind of more land.

Shipping company cuts Russia operations after tanker attack Turkish maritime shipping company Besiktas Shipping will stop all dealings with Russia after one of its oil tankers, the Mersin, was badly damaged by explosions near the coast of Senegal english.nv.ua/russian-war/...

Reality Time: If Trump truly intends to go full dictator, it'll happen in the next 11 months. The way he's destroying the country, there is a full on GOP bloodbath coming next Nov, and when that happens and Dems take ALL of Congress, he knows he's going to be impeached, removed, and jailed.

Leavitt claims that Trump had a "preventative" MRI

❗️The most sensitive issues in the peace plan are territories, frozen assets, and security guarantees. The teams continue to work on this, – Zelenskyy.

How about this for a new amendment? "No person shall be eligible for any office under the United States if previously convicted of a felony by the United States or any State."
