Ukraine destroys a significant among of Russian weaponry in Luhansk

Heavy fighting along the Kherson front.  Stay tuned.

Ukraine asked for a media blackout on the Kherson front.  So things are happening, but we'll have to wait a while to hear about them.

Belgorod airfield likely hit with HARM missile

German court OKs putting wrecked Russian tank in front of Russian embassy in Berlin

"So I take the tank, fly it right up to the general's palace, drop it at his feet I'm like, BOOM! You looking for this?"

Today's big news is that Iran is planning on sending ballistic missiles to Russia, and not in the good way.

Very bad news.  First, it restocks Russia's dwindling ballistic missile stocks.  Second, it will almost certainly be used to kill civilians and might be used to slow down Ukrainian advances if they run out of playgrounds to bomb.  This will prolong the war and get much more people killed.  Unless.

Unless Ukrainians get much better anti-missile tech donated to them by Allied countries.  Putin's nuclear talk is just that, talk to intimidate and discourage, Putin's standard way of getting what he wants.  Axis countries do whatever they want, Allied countries worry that doing too much will anger Putin.  Well, let him be angry.  Help people in need and frustrate a dictator's mad ambitions.  It's the right moral call and it's the right practical call.

I can't recall a power-hungry dictator ever just stopping being an evil villain on their own accord. A beautiful change of heart...an enlightening. It may have happened...it could happen. Right? LOL.

If your commander wants you to die for him, then it is prudent to promote yourself.

We need three, maybe four christmas ghosts.

Just need the right people and some flying lead pellets to have their trajectories intersect at the same time.

Abbas sides with Putin

You'd think if anyone could sympathize with Ukraine, it'd be the Palestinians.  Unfortunately, they'd rather kiss a dictator's ass in the hopes of getting the tiniest slice of his largess than take a moral stand.  Sad.

Russia warns Israel not to step up Ukrainian aid

Russia says not to provide military aid to Ukraine or it'll destroy relations between Russia and Israel (threats from Russia, must be a day that ends in a y)

Russia bombed a holocaust memorial in Ukraine and falsely claimed that Hitler was jewish, so I'm pretty sure they don't care at all about Jewish sensibilities.

QuoteShai twitted that "Iran is supplying ballistic missile to Russia. The doubts about where Israel should stand in this bloody conflict are over. There is no room to be self-righteous anymore. The time has come that we provide Ukraine with military aid as the U.S. and NATO do."

Israel is currently providing basic info on the Iranian drones and satellite imagery of Russian positions.  That's good, but that's largely redundant, and Israel could certainly do more.  Russian fascists are doing to civilians in Ukraine everything that the nazis did to Jewish communities.  It's happening again.  Israel has an opportunity to strike a major blow against the current nazis and save innocent lives by donating its Iron Dome technology to Ukraine.

As a gesture of goodwill, a Russian pilot flew his plane into an apartment complex in Russia

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
