Summarizing this war:

A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA.

“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

Kremlin snuff box, 12/02/23

The enemy struck a Marine base near Krasnodar.

The soldiers who were preparing to be sent to the area of the North Military District were killed.

According to our sources in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, on Saturday, December 2, the outskirts of Krasnodar were attacked by 7 attack drones.

Four drones were shot down, three, unfortunately, could not be neutralized.

Also, two S-200 missiles flew to the Krasnodar Territory; they were shot down over the Sea of Azov.

The enemy struck one of the military units, which in the last few weeks was the base of our Marines.

Here, in the strictest secrecy, they were trained to carry out “complex, very specific and responsible tasks in the area of the North Military District.”

Next week the soldiers were supposed to be sent to the front.

The strike killed six Marines and wounded 19. Valuable equipment was also lost, in particular, military training simulators.

An investigation is now underway into how it turned out that such an important and secret facility was not sufficiently covered by air defense.

And where did the enemy get information about the presence of Marines in the “most ordinary-looking” military unit, who were being trained to carry out special missions.

Our source in the Administration of the Krasnodar Territory noted that during the attack, “we still got off lightly.”

The attacked military unit is located at a certain distance from residential buildings. Therefore, local residents did not see the “arrival” of drones.

And that is why, fortunately, none of the civilians were killed or injured.

I see our local contingent of the Soviet Ministry of Hate is here.

All they to offer are insults because the facts just don’t support them.

Ruzzians are dying in a war they thought would be won by now.

Ruzzian troops are retreating.

Ukraine is attacking targets deep inside Ruzzia.

Crimea has no water. Crimea is a battleground.

Hellfire is coming for Putin.

And the trolls are bitter and angry because St. Putin has failed them.

Keep at it Speedy!

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.

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”
