Putin cannot win on the battlefields of Ukraine, so he has engineered a terrifying new theory of victory rooted in winter terror and Western cowardice.
Ukraine’s allies are pathetic cowards and Putin knows it.
With his army stalling on the front, Putin is betting everything on raining ballistic missiles onto Ukrainian cities while the West stands by and watches.
Ukraine may be holding its ground and outmatching Russia on the front, but Putin has engineered a horrifying alternative theory of victory. Knowing he cannot defeat Ukrainian forces in fair combat, he is banking on a campaign of pure terror. As winter approaches, his plan is to exploit the West's primary weakness: endless hesitation. By targeting Ukrainian cities with heavy ballistic missile strikes, Putin aims to break civilian endurance and force devastating concessions that Russian troops could never win on the battlefield.
The fact that Western allies have failed to place large, long-term orders for ballistic missile defense after four and a half years of full-scale war is disgraceful. We have spent nearly five years acting as though the conflict will end in twelve to eighteen months, signaling to the Kremlin that Russia can simply outlast us. While Donald Trump’s traitorous pro-Russian stances and mishandling of interceptor stockpiles are predictable, Europe’s ongoing complacency is unforgivable.
To prevent an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, Europe must immediately shift to a war footing. We must place massive, long-term orders for SAMP/T NG batteries and Aster interceptors, purchase every available PAC interceptor through PURL, and buy up global interceptor stocks regardless of price. More importantly, European nations must transfer more of their own air defense batteries and interceptors to Ukraine right now. We also need to pressure South Korea to sell air defense to Ukraine.
Air defense alone will not stop the onslaught. Allies must supply Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles to destroy Russian defense factories and fund Ukraine’s own rapidly growing defense industry. Furthermore, the United States must permit Ukraine to use Starlink inside Russian territory to track and target ballistic missile launchers before they strike.
Continuing to do almost nothing leaves blood on European hands, but taking these decisive steps would at least partially dismantle Putin’s terror strategy
Intelligence reports suggest Russia is going to try to establish a northern frontline with Ukraine again using troops from mobilisation it is also going to ramp up sabotage attempts seen in Europe with its intelligence services increasing activity.
KASPAROV: Main force of tyranny in the world is China, which truly manipulates all processes. And spearhead, the thing aimed at heart of the a free world is Putin's Russia. Putin is like a spider in center of a web, influencing practically all destructive processes in the world.
This is absolutely devastating. Look at a map of Kyiv to understand the scale of these fires. Russia is trying to erase Kyiv - A CAPITAL CITY IN EUROPE - off the face of the earth. And we aren't doing a damn thing to stop this genocide.
Kasparov: Putin does not take Europe seriously because Europe still treats Russia’s war like a sanctions-and-trade dispute.
Moscow is already at war with the West, while Europe still operates on a peacetime algorithm, The Telegraph. 1/
Beijing has now written transnational repression into law. Article 63 of China’s Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress claims authority over critics abroad and gives legal cover to coercion against Uyghur, Tibetan and other diaspora communities. 1/3
La Russia non ha ancora capito che cosa ha creato. 💔
Questa è Yaroslava Zhuravel. Nel 2020 era una bambina e stringeva tra le mani il ritratto di suo padre, ucciso nel Donbas. Oggi è una donna e non ha dimenticato.
La Russia ha cresciuto un’intera generazione di ucraini che ha visto morire i propri genitori, che ha perso la propria casa, la propria città, la propria infanzia.
Non dimenticheremo mai chi ha portato la guerra in casa nostra. Il Cremlino risponderà dei suoi crimini davanti all'umanità.

What...
Citing intelligence that North Korea is moving ballistic missile units near the European border for strike campaigns on Ukraine, Ukraine's Foreign Minister calls for international action.
Talking to several different pollsters and they all tell me the same thing -- the fear of socialists is a chief motivating factor for people to vote Republican this year.
Ceuta has proved @GiorgiaMeloni right.
For years, she has warned that uncontrolled illegal migration is not merely a humanitarian issue, but a threat to national and European security. The organised assault on a European border has exposed what Brussels refused to see: migrant flows can be used to destabilise states and exert political pressure.
A Europe that cannot defend its borders cannot defend its citizens, its security or its future.

Зеленський призначає Умєрова - фігуранта плівок Міндіча начальником Служби зовнішньої розвідки.
Але натомість Зеленському варто було б взяти приклад з Драпатого та попросити на вихід
▪️Татарова з Офісу Зеленського - фігуранта усіх можливих антикорупційних розслідувань журналістів.
▪️Кириленка - голову Антимонопольного, у якого підозра на руках про найбільше в історії незаконне збагачення.
▪️Сухачова - директора ДБР, який покриває корупцію Міндіча та збагачує рідного брата на 143 обʼєкти нерухомості.
Список можу продовжити але це ті, з кого можна було б розпочати уже зранку
❗️Russia is planning an invasion through Chernihiv region: there is intelligence data, - spokesman for the State Border Service of Ukraine Vyacheslav Demchenko.
Let me get this straight..
the S&P 500 just hit $69.7 trillion in market cap..
the entire US economy.. every job.. every factory.. every paycheck in America.. is worth $32.4 trillion..
so the stock market is worth more than TWICE the country that supposedly produces it..
let me say that again..
top 10 stocks alone are worth $29 trillion.. that's almost the entire GDP of the United States sitting in ten companies..
and the richest 10% of Americans own 87% of all that stock wealth..
your paycheck didn't grow 215% this year.. your rent didn't drop.. your job isn't worth more..
but the number on the screen just broke every record that's ever existed..
they call this "the best economy in history"..
best for who.
