BREAKING: Ukraine is still fighting for its survival. Last year I haven´t written long threads on Ukraine because the main points didn´t change: 1) On the frontline: Russia still grinds on. Ukraine still puts up fierce resistance. Ukraine faces still the same problems 1/

Project proposal ex. Christmas here I come.

The new US National Security Strategy is very telling on their plans for Europe and the EU. Let´s take a look: They want Europe to "restore civilizational self-confidence and Western identiy." Didn´t realize until now that we lost it, but well. What do they mean by that? ⬇️

That's all for now. I apologize, but I don't know when I'll be back, because what's been happening lately surrounding the Russian-Ukrainian war disgusts me. It's not about the US's attitude, but that of European countries, and not just Hungary, but others joining them... 😓

Usually, I don't post personel stuff but today my step-father died and my brother told me that he had always kept cigarettes for me. I quit smoking 6 years ago but one last is left in this package. It's likely years old. This one is on him.

Finally, a few words from me. Please approach the news from the Pokrovsk direction with great caution and don't panic. And especially ignore the "experts" who write that defending the metropolitan area is a political decision that will end in the garrison's capitulation.

Do you know the real drama of Russias war in Ukraine? To understand what the Nazis were up to you had to read 700+ pages of Hitlers "Mein Kampf". To understand what Putin was up to you had to read ~ 15 pages of Putins “On the Historical Unity”. Still many fail to understand.

Ich bin froh, dass wir alle gerade das Ende des Gazakriegs erleben dürften. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass wir das Ende des Nahostkonflikts erleben werden. Da ist (genuiner) Frieden weiter weg denn je. Meine Einschätzungen auf @puls24.at www.puls24.at/video/puls-2...

Russia as the Katechon – A Love Story for Left and Right In his Feb 29, 2024 address, Putin cast Russia as the Katechon - the restrainer and bulwark against Western depravity and civilizational collapse. This makes Russia attractive to both New Right and Far-Left. Why? 1/x ⬇️

Muchnoy on the current situation on the front: "Judging by the situation on the front, in some places we have begun to push the enemy back, while in others the enemy continues to push us back. There is, so to speak, a 'fluctuation' of the line and a constant fight for every meter.

Security guarantees only count if someone is actually willing to go to war with Russia. As the war has shown that that is exactly what Europe and the US don't want, it's noise.Just ramp up support as Russia won't negotiate for real if it thinks it can win militarily. Now lets talk about support...
