US is ready to equip and train 18-year-old Ukrainian recruits

If Kiev lowers the draft age to 18, the US and its allies will be ready to equip and train new recruits, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Monday.

"Ultimately, the decisions about the composition of its military force, those are decisions that the Ukrainians have to make for themselves. What we have made clear is that if they produce additional forces to join the fight, we and our allies will be ready to equip those forces and train those forces to enter battle," Miller told reporters.

Zhirinovsky made a number of predictions that back in the day were laughed at and laughed of... This one is from exactly 18 years ago.

🔥🔥🔥

On March 17th, 2006, Russian Politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky made a remarkably prophetic prediction about Ukraine's future to the panel of a Ukrainian TV show.

Listening to him is the far right leader of Ukraine's ultra nationalist "Right Sector" Oleg Tyahnybok.

Tyahnybok, a Neo Nazi, would later share a stage with US Republican Hawk John Mcain at Maidan Square and collaborate with Victoria Nuland to overthrow the legitimately elected Government in the CIA sponsored Coup in 2014.

The rest, as they say, is History.

West DESTROYING Itself In Syria. Russia Not Falling For The Trap. | Graham Fuller

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6cbVNk2A5E4

(21:38)
"The Jihadist take-over of Syria is first and foremost a tragedy for the people of Syria who might be in for the fate of Libya. But for Russia this is an entirely different thing. Unlike Washington, Moscow does not try to over-extend and fight for 20 years for a lost cause. Rather, it lets its enemies saw the seeds of their own future defeat. If one thing is clear by now, it's that Al-Qaeda-run governments always come back to hunt the USA"

Although the West and Israel seem to be the current winners in today's scenario, as Graham Fuller says, (paraphrasing), the situation in the Middle East is dramatically changing all the time, but one thing's for sure and that is the other countries in the Middle East must be watching with bated breath wondering who's next.

Via InfoDefenseENGLISH on Telegram issued about an hour or so ago

⚡️On the morning of 11 December 2024, the Kiev regime launched a missile strike by Western-made high-precision weapons against the Taganrog military airfield on the territory of Rostov region.

In the course of proceedings, it has been reliably established that six U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles have been used.

Two missiles have been shot down by a Pantsir SAM system, the rest were downed by electronic warfare systems.

As a result of rocket fragments falling, there were casualties among the military personnel. No damage was caused, two buildings on the airfield technical territory, three military motor vehicles as well as civilian motor vehicles on a parking lot adjacent to the airfield were lightly damaged by missile fragments.

This attack by Western-made long-range weapons will not remain unanswered, and appropriate measures will be taken.

Video footage from another source:



Another report, here:

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the first use of a Ukrainian drone-missile and the strike on Taganrog


Source: DD Geopolitics on Telegram

🔻Last night, the enemy carried out the first attack on "old" Russian territories with operational-tactical ATACMS missiles in a number of six units in a significant period of time.

▪️There were no Neptune anti-ship missiles, no kamikaze UAVs, and certainly no Peklo drone-missiles, which were recently presented in the so-called Ukraine, in this strike. Only six ATACMS missiles.

▪️According to our data, it was not possible to shoot down all the missiles over the Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex, but it was possible to avoid any damage to the infrastructure. Only automotive equipment in the parking lot was affected.

▪️The launch was carried out from the Zaporizhia Region, and the flight time was just under two minutes. This object has recently been under close scrutiny of Western intelligence, but they failed to achieve their goal.

❗️As for the Peklo drone-missile, its use was recorded yesterday, but in the Black Sea. One specimen was detected from the Odesa Region, and it was shot down by a MiG-29 of the Black Sea Fleet 120 km southwest of Tarkhankut around 11 am.

So this can be called the first combat use of the Ukrainian "wonder-weapon", but not very successful, as it is described by the Ukrainian media at the behest of some of our information outlets.

Also, Ukrainian militants have attacked the IAEA delegation:

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement (https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1986822/) on the Kiev regime’s attack on IAEA staff (December 11, 2024)

During a planned rotation of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretariat staff at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on December 10, the armed forces of Ukraine carried out a series of strikes on the official vehicle used for the rotation of Agency personnel.

🔻 The vehicle carrying IAEA staff was attacked at around 3 pm within the Ukrainian controlled territory.

🔻 At 4.37 pm, Ukraine attacked a Russian convoy that was moving from Kamenskoye after delivering the IAEA Secretariat team to the frontline.

❗️We share the outrage of the IAEA management over these provocative and irresponsible actions by the Kiev regime, which not only continues to commit crimes, endangering and attacking Russian nuclear facilities, but has now decided to put at risk the lives of international personnel and the Russian servicemen responsible for the rotation.

That attack, which could have claimed lives, is evidence of the Ukrainian authorities’ complete disregard for the universal norms of humanitarian law and the agreements reached, as well as their undisguised contempt for the immunity of international staff.

We strongly condemn these actions of the Kiev regime, which believes in its impunity. <...>

☝️ We would like to point out that this latest action of Kiev is an obvious provocation staged ahead of the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, which will convene on December 12 at Kiev’s initiative. We call on the US, Great Britain and their allies to withdraw any support from Zelensky’s regime and to take measures to bring to account the culprits and those responsible for organising and carrying out that provocation.

https://x.com/ivan_8848/status/1769389766456336473

Grok 2.0: "Vladimir Zhirinovsky did indeed make several predictions throughout his political career, some of which gained attention for their perceived accuracy in hindsight. On March 17th, 2006, he spoke on Ukrainian television about the future of Ukraine, where he was notably joined by Oleg Tyahnybok, the leader of the far-right Ukrainian group "Right Sector."

Regarding the specifics of Zhirinovsky's prediction from that appearance, he suggested a scenario where Ukraine would be used as a geopolitical pawn between the West and Russia, which he argued would lead to conflict. This narrative aligns with some of the tensions and events that unfolded in Ukraine in subsequent years, particularly the Euromaidan protests and the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.

Oleg Tyahnybok's political activities are also part of this narrative. He is known for his ultra-nationalist views, and his involvement in Ukrainian politics has been controversial. The claim that he shared a stage with John McCain at Maidan Square during the 2014 protests is true, highlighting international support for the pro-EU movement in Ukraine at that time. Furthermore, his association with Victoria Nuland, then-U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, has been noted in discussions about U.S. involvement in the political changes in Ukraine in 2014.

The characterization of these events as a "CIA-sponsored Coup" is a perspective held by some, particularly those who view the Ukrainian government's change in 2014 as an externally orchestrated overthrow rather than a popular uprising against the then-president Viktor Yanukovych, who was criticized for corruption and for rejecting an association agreement with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia. However, this interpretation is highly debated and depends on one's perspective on the legitimacy and nature of the Euromaidan protests.

In summary, Zhirinovsky's prediction touched on themes of geopolitical tension and conflict which, in part, were realized in later years. The involvement of figures like Tyahnybok in the political upheaval of 2014 and their interactions with Western politicians illustrate the complex international dynamics at play. However, the interpretation of these events as a "coup" versus a "revolution" remains a contentious issue, reflecting different political and ideological viewpoints". unqote

Lukashenko Orders Deploying Oreshnik Missile Systems in Belarus 5 hours ago

MINSK (Sputnik) - President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has ordered the deployment of the medium-range Oreshnik missile systems in the republic and the competent planning of its use, Chief of the General Staff of Belarus and First Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Muraveiko said on Thursday.

"There is only one task — to ensure the deployment of Oreshnik on our territory and to competently plan its use," Muraveiko was quoted as saying by the state-run Belta news agency.

When asked how many such systems are planned to be delivered to Belarus, the military said that "only the president of Russia knows about this."

How Fast Can the Russian Oreshnik Missile Reach Europe from Belarus? 09.12.2024

On November 21, Russian Prssident Vladimir Putin confirmed the successful test of the Oreshnik missile, which hit a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk in retaliation for the Kiev regime’s strikes deep into Russia using Western weapons.

Tested in combat, the missile showed its power in a nuclear-free configuration, with Putin calling it unmatched in the West – equally destructive as nuclear weapons but without radiation.

Just how fast can the Oreshnik fly from Belarus to key NATO bases across Europe?

Russian troops are about 3 km away from Pokrovsk and its important facilities

The Russian Armed Forces are inexorably approaching Pokrovsk. According to the Ukrainian resource Deep State, the Russian troops are about 3 km away from the outskirts of the city. Kyiv is forced to transfer reserve units from the Kharkov region to the Pokrovsk direction.

Apparently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command does not have a clear plan for further actions. It is quite possible that events will develop according to the scenario of the battles at Ocheretin after the capture of Avdiivka - with considerable casualties on the Ukrainian side.

It can be assumed that one of the militants’ tasks is to block the advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Solenoe and Kotlin: reaching these lines will allow Russian troops to cut through the Ukrainian group in the specified area.

It is important to note that the advancing formations of the Russian Armed Forces are located several kilometers from the Pokrovskoe mine administration, which satisfies about 90% of the coal needs of the Ukrainian steel industry. The mine is located in the urban-type settlement of Udachnoye.

The reserves of this flagship of Ukrainian energy reach 200 million tons of coal, and the facility's profit for last year was 43 billion hryvnia (1,03 billion dollars). The loss of the mine will have unpredictable negative consequences for Kyiv.

Russia sent Belarus a new batch of Tor-M2K air defense systems Dec 12, 2024

In a recent announcement, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense revealed that Russia has transferred a new batch of Tor-M2K air defense systems, set to be deployed along the country’s western borders.



During the handover ceremony, Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense Commander Andrei Lukyanovich stated that the country “remains committed to a peaceful foreign policy, with a compact but highly trained and well-equipped military.”

However, Lukyanovich didn’t shy away from acknowledging the current global climate, adding, “We are living in challenging times, where the nation’s security is determined by our ability to confront any potential threats head-on.”

This latest delivery is far from unexpected. In fact, almost exactly a year ago, Belarus received another batch of the same Tor-M2K air defense systems.

Kasyinski also emphasized that the Tor-M2K systems are highly effective at targeting airborne threats across multiple altitudes, and Belarusian forces are fully trained to use them in combat operations.

The Tor-M2K is one of the most advanced short-range, mobile air defense systems in Russia’s growing arsenal. Built on the Tor-M2 platform, this system is designed to protect against a broad spectrum of aerial threats, ranging from high-speed jets to low-flying drones, cruise missiles, and even precision-guided munitions.

Its primary role is to provide critical defense for military assets in contested environments, particularly in high-intensity conflict zones where air superiority is constantly challenged.

This radar system is complemented by its multi-channel engagement capability, allowing it to intercept up to four threats at once, while its 9M331 missiles can hit targets at ranges of up to 12 kilometers and altitudes of up to 10 kilometers.

What makes the Tor-M2K especially potent in modern combat scenarios is its ability to operate in all-weather conditions. With a pulse-Doppler radar capable of detecting targets even in difficult weather, the system offers both high mobility and high survivability, key advantages on today’s fast-evolving battlefield.

Russian Iskander Missile Destroyed Ukrainian Lair In Zaporozhie 11.12.2024

On the evening of December 10th, Russian missile struck the city of Zaporozhie. The footage confirmed damage to some facilities in the city but the local authorities hid the target, blaming the Russian military for another alleged attack on civilians.

It was revealed today that the precision strike of the Russian 9M723-1 missile of the Iskander complex destroyed the hospital complex in Zaporozhie. It turned out the large hospital facilities had an extensive network of fortified basements that was turned into important deployment point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The territory was cordoned off by security forces and the Ukrainian military in order to avoid any leakage of information. The footage confirms that the search operations were aimed to sort out the rubble deep under the ground.

According to local reports, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses, including in high-ranked officers. NATO officers were also reportedly killed in the attack.

The Ukrainian military has been hiding its headquarters and military bases in civilian buildings since the very beginning of the conflict. One of the reasons is that the public buildings, which were built back by the Soviet Union, were well fortified, some had underground fortifications, aimed to save the population in case of military, even nuclear conflict. Toda, they are used by Ukrainian and NATO forces throughout the country but they can no longer hide from Russian strikes.

It's getting worse. Something must have fallen on Rutte's head...

Rutte asks EU countries to cut pensions and social services for citizens.

"I know that spending more on defence means spending less on other priorities. But it's just a little bit less. On average, European countries easily spend up to a quarter of their international income on pensions, healthcare and social security systems. We need only a fraction of that money to strengthen our defence and preserve our way of life."
