I’ve heard it said that he who laughs last, laughs best. You won’t be laughing much longer.

You know, for an old cow, you’ve got the maturity of a 10 year old.

You lie through your teeth, belittle and deceive people and are full of pride...and you call yourself a “umcrev”?

---- "Wasn’t he a nazi collaborator?"

"After officials and institutions in Ukraine – including the national parliament – marked the birth anniversary of nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, Polish government figures have criticised the commemoration of a man they see as responsible for the genocide of ethnic Poles and Jews.

Despite Poland and Ukraine having forged an extremely close alliance against Russian aggression this year, remembrance of World War Two history – and in particular the massacre of up to 100,000 Polish civilians by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) – continues to be a bone of contention.

Bandera – who led the OUN-B political organisation that formed the UPA – is seen as a hero by many in Ukraine for his role in fighting for national independence. Critics, however, see him as a fascist and Nazi collaborator."

Poland condemns Ukraine’s commemoration of wartime nationalist leader Bandera Notes from Poland, JAN 2, 2023

"Among those to mark the 114th anniversary of Bandera’s birth yesterday was Ukraine’s parliament. It tweeted an image of Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the current commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, under a portrait of Bandera."

"Verkhovna Rada tweet references Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian ultra-nationalist and antisemite whose followers engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Jews and Poles during World War II"

Gov. of NY Monday.

“Speaking Monday, Hochul announced that the state is “very focused on the data we’re collecting from surveillance efforts [and] what’s being said on social media platforms,” admitting to government surveillance. What is more, Hochul said they have “launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people” when they see what they deem to be “hate speech being spoken about on online platforms.”

Question is..what says that they wont work with web sites to collect data and allow that web site to keep going?

A massive explosion near Volgograd has completely wiped out a major Russian military base and led to the loss of hundreds of Russian soldiers in the largest Ukrainian attack on Russian soil in the war. Russian forces are faring no better on the front with Ukrainian forces still making headway near the Dnipro river, and stopping the Russians cold at Avdiivka.

Meanwhile Israeli forces have entered 3 hospitals and confirmed that Hamas was using them as military sites. Israeli forces now have complete control over western Gaza and are focusing on the city’s eastern side now.

--- "According to who?"

And therein lie the question for all, of all perspectives on this media confrontation as a proxy for war.

Some like their monetized videos from Azerbaijan and Canada and Switzerland, and some like their monetized videos from Belarus and Thailand. I am most amused by those YouTube "front line" analysts who post their "creator content" from these United States. So close to the front lines, and so many ready to sell you -- Widget Jr -- their "merch." Mugs. Baseball caps. Hoodies.... Because, you know, war....

Isn't it interesting that there are tele-journalists reporting daily from the Israeli action in Gaza, interviews and all, as there were "embeds" in Iraq and Afghanistan, while there are none from the Ukraine-Russia battles? Personally, I think CNN and FOX could send some crews to do tele-journalism from Ukraine.

Inflation in Russia has set a new record. In November 2023, prices for many products rose sharply. As a result, weekly inflation has reached its highest level since December 2022, when the Russian economy was hit by a wave of tariff indexation. Already now annual inflation has reached almost seven percent. And this is not the limit, economists say. The scale of the Russian economic blow

After the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin’s army started kidnapping Ukrainian children from temporarily occupied territories. Many of these kids have families waiting to bring them back home.

Initially the world didn’t understand the real plan behind such inhuman actions, but now it became clear that all this is just a part of forced Russification, which the Kremlin has been caring about in its neighboring states for centuries. What Russia does to kidnapped Ukrainian children and how the world plans to help Ukraine bring them back

--- "...admitting to government surveillance...."

That's it, in a nutshell. Opinions will be enforced, and those deemed incorrect will be penalized, silenced, canceled. This is corporatism of the fascist style.

The first amendment should be sacrosanct, and thus government today is working against the US Constitution.

Money and control.

Ukraine has its own little bits of stolen territory: Ruthenia from Hungary; Lwów district from Poland; and Northern Bukovina from Romania.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six-hundred-thirty-first day of the war.

Day 631: Nov 16

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.

Here, Russian forces recently conducted a new massive wave of attacks in the northern part of the region, mostly consisting of infantry. The main goal of this operation was to breach the Ukrainian defense in front of Terrikon and establish a foothold on the territory of the chemical plant.

Recently released footage by Russian sources shows the aftermath of the morning airstrikes on the chemical plant. Some Russian military analysts claimed that Russian forces started using even bigger air-dropped bombs, namely FAB-3000, which is a 3000-kilogram bomb containing 1400 kilograms of explosive charge. The bomb is designed primarily for the destruction of industrial and urban facilities.

A Ukrainian fighter that is defending the chemical plant posted a video showing the result of the airstrikes. As you can see, despite continuous strikes with massive bombs, due to the sheer scale of the chemical plant and the rigidity of the structures, it is very hard to reduce it to ruins or even undermine the defense.

Nonetheless, after conducting the strike, Russian forces launched a powerful infantry assault from the tree lines in front of the settlement. Unfortunately for Russians, most of them did not manage to cross even 100 meters. A Ukrainian drone operator from the forty-seventh mechanized brigade released a video showing how he targeted one of the Russian units in the area. The objective of the assault unit was to advance from the dense tree belts and take control of the building 180 meters from their positions. However, the Russian soldiers from the video managed to cross just 90 meters before being destroyed by drones.

Another attack on the chemical plant came from the north. The main objective of the Russian soldiers in this area was to move along this tree line and establish control over at least the first 100 meters. A Russian fighter who was sent to storm Ukrainian positions filmed the aftermath of the attack. He showed the Ukrainian chemical plant toward which they were moving, and here I have to pause the video because when he lowered the camera, the ground around him was full of fallen Russian soldiers. He was standing in the middle, surrounded by corpses, and said that they incurred disproportionately high losses compared to Ukrainians.

Both Russian and Ukrainian sources recently circulated footage showing how Russian commanders are punishing Russian soldiers for the prevalent use of drugs.

As said in the video, the soldiers were afraid to go on what they themselves considered a suicide mission and used drugs, which is why the whole detachment was simply annihilated. So, if previously the biggest problem Russian low-level commanders faced was an abuse of alcohol by the personnel, then now the problem has been exacerbated, and the use of drugs becomes the main issue, especially around Donetsk and Avdiivka, because this is a densely populated area, simplifying the access to such things.

The Russian frontal attacks become even more self-destructive every day as Ukrainians are conducting counter-battery fire. A Russian soldier posted a video showing the destruction of a Uragan artillery system. In this case, there was no direct hit, the Ukrainian shell fell several meters away from the vehicle but caused the detonation of the rockets. Another Russian soldier released a video showing what happens when a HIMARS rocket hits a Russian artillery system MSTA-S. The vehicle was simply disintegrated. Even the engine and chassis were scattered across the field, while the top part was never even seen.

Overall, the motivation of the Russian soldiers to continue the offensive operation is extremely low. The soldiers understand that their chances of survival are close to zero, which is why the use of forbidden substances is at all times high.

Moreover, the destruction of the Russian artillery means that the Russian infantry has to advance without sufficient artillery support, incurring even more losses. And this has already been reflected in the total losses that Russians incurred today, more precisely, 1330 killed and wounded. As the quality of Russian attacks decreases, the probability that Ukrainian fighters will manage to withstand the Russian offensive becomes higher and higher.
