@okeysoninv

Don't take your eyes off of Avdeyevka.
Marinka and AdVeeka used to be the most fortified frontier towns in the Ukrainian sides. Now, Marinka has fallen, and AdVeeka is tilting over in every sector of the front. If that city falls, Ukraine would be in a real terrible situation in all other fronts.

⚡Putin congratulated the soldiers on the liberation of Mariinka and offered to reward all those who distinguished themselves.

Thus, in 2023, the Russian army liberated 3 cities - Artemovsk, Soledar and Marinka, not counting many villages. The next city in line is Avdeevka.
I really feel sorry for the ordinary Ukrainians who were drafted against their will to die for Elensky ego. 108 Ukrainians were killed on Christmas day while going home to see their relatives. Very sad. embarassed

It's the other way round. China is super reliant on Russia.

From oil to gas to food to nuclear & military technology. These are the most critical needs of every nation.

Russia only imports cars and gadgets from China.
Just because some of these boys don't use smartphones or fancy gadgets from Russia, they think Russia isn't much of a consumer goods producer.

⚡The 18-year-old hacker responsible for leaking game clips from 'GTA 6' has been sentenced to life in a hospital prison.

This means he must remain in the hospital, for whatever amount of time, until doctors no longer deem him a threat.

Arion Kurtaj has autism, and a mental health assessment deemed that he "continued to express the intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible.

He is highly motivated."

Kurtaj hacked into Rockstar Games using only a hotel TV, an Amazon Firestick, and his mobile phone.

This was due to his laptop having been previously confiscated by authorities due to him hacking into Nvidia and BT/EE.

⚡Orban disagrees with the statement that Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine is a "war" - Bloomberg

The Hungarian PM is convinced that it is a "military operation":

"There was no declaration of war between the two countries. When Russia declares war then there will be war."

Russia's so-called "invasion" of Ukraine is not even a "military operation", but a "rescue operation" to save the Russian people from Nazi regime.
It is this knack of speaking the truth that made the Christian minded Orban a hated figure across the Eurozone.

⚡Russian political commentator:

The recent conflict has shown just how vital Iran is to us. Neither we nor China control maritime chokepoints.

The United States wants to block the Straits of Malacca when China invades Taiwan to hurt Chinese economy.

Iran, without blocking the Strait of Hormuz, has essentially reduced the US naval presence in other parts of the world by making the Red Sea unsafe.

Iran can no longer be ignored.
Absolutely spot on. Those who underrate Iran are living in Follyland

⚡FT: Russia replaced oil exports to the EU with exports to India and China

Russia's monthly income from oil exports is now even greater than before the conflict in Ukraine, the Financial Times notes. Thus, net income for October this year amounted to $11.3 billion, which is 31% of the country’s total budget revenues for the month.

What’s especially interesting: India continues to buy Russian oil even after rising prices and has no plans to give it up, Business Standard reports. Since last year, Russia has become India's leading supplier, displacing Saudi Arabia and Iraq due to its low price. And even taking into account its takeoff, discounts on oil from the Russian Federation for India outweigh the high logistics costs of imports.

“For China, there is a buyer’s dilemma between Iranian and Russian oil. But for Indian
oil refineries, Russian oil is by far the cheapest option,” the material says.

⚡Russia FM Lavrov:

"In the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon assembled almost the entirety of Europe to attack Russia. We defeated him and we became stronger after that aggression.

In the middle of last century, Adolph Hitler put under his command most of the European countries to launch aggression against Russia. He was defeated as well and we became stronger after that war.

The result of the war launched by the United States using Ukraine against Russia is already seen. Russia has already become much stronger than it was before these events."

⚡The United States needs to accept the fact that Ukraine will have to cede territory to Russia - US Republican Senator James Vance

“It is in America’s interests to recognize that Ukraine will have to cede some territory to the Russians. And we need to put an end to these hostilities,” Vance said on CNN. He said it was “in both our interests and theirs” to end the fighting to put an end to the loss of life.

"When it comes to the Ukrainian issue, everyone with a head on their shoulders knows that it will end in negotiations. The idea that Ukraine would return Russia to the 1991 borders was absurd, no one really believed in it", the politician emphasized.

⚡Serbia refused to sever partnership relations with Russia.

Serbia should become a full member of the European Union (EU), but at the same time it is not ready to spoil relations with Russia. Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Milos Vucevic said this in an interview with Politika.

He emphasized that Serbia will not forget about its national DNA and will not break off partnership relations with the Russian Federation by introducing sanctions against it. The Deputy Prime Minister also added that Serbia will cooperate with China, India, Africa, the Arab world and the Americas, while remaining militarily neutral and not joining any military bloc.
If only Zelensky was this forth-thinking. Unfortunately, he is just a comedian that has led Ukraine to its comic theatre of destruction.

European Union countries have quietly funded Vladimir Putin’s war machine to the tune of €6.1 billion (£5.4 billion) this year through the purchase of liquefied natural gas (LNG), The Telegraph reports.

The bloc has bought up more than half of Moscow’s LNG exports, with Spain and France being the second and third largest buyers behind China.

Eurostat trade data acquired by The Telegraph shows Madrid sent €1.8 billion to Moscow in the first nine months of the year.


Europe’s second-largest purchaser was France with shipments worth €1.5 billion arriving in its ports, while Belgium followed closely behind buying €1.36 billion worth of Russian LNG.

Some of Kyiv’s most ardent backers in Europe, including Estonia and Lithuania, also continued to send money to Moscow for LNG.

Previous analysis of European imports of Russian LNG suggested purchases were up 40 per cent compared to 2021, before Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.

This is despite plans by the EU to end its use of Russian fossil fuels by 2027.

Just to be clear.
What happened on October 7 was a terorist attack.
Israel was right to retaliate and they are also within their own rights to defend themselves.

Even if they want to route Hamas out of Gaza, I've got no problem with that. Hamas should be routed out.

But no conscientious individual will support the mass slaughter and systemic extermination of a group of people.

More than 13,000 Palestinians have perished within 2 months, including children, women and innocent men.
Nobody with a conscience should justify the ongoing genocide.
The blockade of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity is evil, wicked and callous.

Israel is not the first country to have waged a war against an external entity.

America invaded Vietnam and fought for 10 good years. They never blockaded Vietnam. They didn't try to systematically kill off the non-combatant civilians - even though the VietCong employed guerilla warfare extensively.

America was in Afghanistan for many years an never blockaded the country. They didn't try to kill off civilians or bomb houses just for the fun of it.

In real time, we see Russia invading Ukraine. Russia has largely kept to international rules of war. They have avoided where possible, civilian casualties.

Israel or any other country for that matter does not have any justification whatsoever to systemically eradicate a group of people from the face of the earth.

What is happening in Gaza is horrible and nobody should support that.

I was supporting Israel before and I still support their right to self defence. I am also indifferent of they wish to remove Hamas.

But I will never support the indiscriminate bombing of houses, hospitals and schools in the name of fighting Hamas. Innocent civilians are dying. Many are injured. Many more are left without basic necessities of living.
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. cool

You have spoken well.

Do you compare special military operation with war?
Isreali military is facing Gaza militant yet depending on USA military for funding and military intelligence? Vey funny
You are comparing the second-largest country in Europe with GAZA land ?
You are comparing one of the most protested country in Europe to Gaza ?

You are comparing Ukraine that have been trained by NATO for over 8 years with Gaza militants?
You are comapring a nation that have be funded and supported by USA and allies with over 100B dollars to Gaza militant?
Not even USA military will be able to acheive what Russia miltary has done in Ukraine so far if the case was reversed.
Russia have proved to the world that she is the best military in the world with all the 1M sanctions imposed on Russia.

Russia have smack the USA best trained Ukrainian troops and destroyed USA best weapons sent to Ukraine.
Why do think is USA refused the UKriane F16, and advance drones?
Leo and challenge tanks are considered one of the best until Russia turned them to ashes.

Hate it or Not, Russia has been able to shock the world that even USA's biggest allies in Asia have refused to sanction Russia apart from Japan and South Korea and yet Japan has ran back to buying Russian oil and gas.

I don't support Russia or Ukraine but I hate double standard. If USA and her allies did not destroy Libya, we wouldn't be facing problem in Western and Northern Africa right now on terrorists
You even have the time to reply him. When I saw the post, I just shook my head and moved on because it down in me that the guy is a novice to things types of discussions...comparing a militant group of not less than 50,000 to a national army that's the largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world.
