Is there an emoji for talking through one’s hat? You certainly deserve one for the beyond-pathetic BS.

Ukrainian update (translated):
By directions, for now:
Bakhmutsky - heavy battles on both flanks. It is especially difficult in the Khromovo area. The battle for the village continues. It is no less difficult in the districts of Klishchiivka, Andriivka, Bohdanivka, in the direction of Yakovlivka.
Avdiivskyi is the most difficult situation between Stepov and AKHZ.
Kup’yanskyi, Lymanskyi - the enemy is pressing in the direction of Terniv, Torskyi, Serebryansky forestry, Bilogorivka, Sinkivka, Makiivka, and Kislivka.
Stupidly throughout the operating area. It was difficult, but the enemy had almost no success.
Mar’insky - the enemy managed to capture the ruins of several more houses. They are still a long way from having full control over the city.
There are no changes in other directions.
It is difficult in the Avdos area.
Very difficult.
The enemy does not stop massive attacks using both meat assaults and the entire range of weapons.
Unfortunately, they are successful. Small, but very gradually they advance.
I don’t know if we will hold Avdiivka.
I have my thoughts on this matter, but I believe that everything has its time. He has not come yet.
Our boys and girls are doing their best. In those conditions, they have already performed a miracle and stopped the blitzkrieg, due to which the enemy is forced to sharpen his strength in frontal attacks.
Jon Boy!
The only thing that has been debunked is your intelligence level.
“The top Republican negotiator for a deal on US-Mexico border policy and aid to Ukraine said he’s confident that lawmakers can reach a bipartisan agreement by the end of the year.”
“Internal conflicts and betrayal among Putin’s closest allies are finally exposing his weaknesses.

“The change in Russia is inevitable: here’s what the future might look like“”
That looks like an interesting thread.
What is the gist, for those of us without X accounts?
The Houthis appear to running amok in the southern Red Sea, striking 3 civilian ships with missiles today. This area is critical to global commerce through the Suez Canal. The Houthis are a problem that needs to be dealt with. It’s clear they are acting on Iran’s behalf, desperately trying to drag the USA into the Hamas/Israel war, which they consider themselves a combatant in.

The change in Russia is inevitable: here’s what the future might look like 1/11
Putin’s war against Ukraine is a catalyst for his regime’s eventual fall. It’s a question of when, not if. This war has triggered forces that will lead to the regime’s collapse. The key challenge now is ensuring a democratic transition post-Putin. 2/11
Peaceful protests alone can’t topple Putin’s regime. We face the hard truth: his removal won’t happen through elections or peaceful means. This necessitates a different approach for change. 3/11
Prigozhin’s coup attempt was a turning point. Despite no sympathy for him, this event highlighted the regime’s vulnerabilities. It’s a crack in Putin’s armor that we must acknowledge and exploit. 4/11
The assassination of Prigozhin and his circle signals deep military dissatisfaction and the regime’s fragility. These internal rifts within the power structure are our opportunities for change. 5/11
Future regime splits are also inevitable. ‘National patriots’ like Prigozhin won’t bring democratization. We, as a democratic opposition, must be ready to dismantle autocracy and uphold democratic values. 6/11
Overthrowing Putin is crucial, but the aftermath is vital. I am convinced, dissolution of Russia would lead to unstable, nuclear-armed states. We need a balanced, democratic future, not fragmentation. 7/11
Replacing Putin with another ‘good tsar’ isn’t the answer either. Another strongman would continue corruption and repression. Our aim is a federal, democratic Russia, not centralized autocracy. 8/11
I envision a Russia where power comes from its people and regions, not just Moscow. A federal parliamentary republic could offer inclusive governance, ensuring diverse voices are represented and heard. 9/11
The exodus of Russia’s brightest is a loss but also a reservoir of potential leaders for a democratic future. We must harness this intellectual capital to build a free, progressive Russia. 10/11

Cracking down on the Russian “Shadow Fleet”
ISW reports (2 Dec):
“The US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three third party entities involved in the transport of Russian crude oil above the G7 price cap. OFAC announced on December 1 that it imposed sanctions on two United Arab Emirates-based and one Liberian-based shipping companies that own vessels that carried Russian crude oil above $70 barrel after the G7’s $60 price cap took effect in December 2022”
