I see on Christmas Eve today that Russia is shelling Kherson. Let’s hope they make Christmas Day the last day of their invasion of Ukraine and go home in peace to their families in Russia.
I wish President Putin would stop hinting broadly and start directly and openly calling out the US/UK and their acolytes in the blowing up of the Nordstream pipeline. They do not hesitate to openly criticize Russia. There is no more pretence, no more diplomacy with these people. The gloves need to come off.
Thanks for this informative update, Alexander! Have a great Christmas!
regarding that "we will click the patriots" comment from Putin, it's a bit to hard to translate idiom. what he said in Russian is «Мы пощёлкаем и Patriot». пощелкаем in this context is as in "щелкать как семечки" or "щелкать как орехи" (cracking sunflower seeds or cracking nuts), meaning to overcome easily. basically he said we will find a way to counter these systems as well.
Thank you. 👍
A Kinzhal missile was also used to destroy a bunker near the Romanian border and another one in Ivano Frankivsk
Belarus should be just as active, if not moreso due to its geographic location, as Chechnya
in this drive to get the imperialistic hegemony of the west out of the east.
Keeping Europe divided as divided it even further is clearly UK/USA intentions.
MAYBE some western Europeans are starting to realize this but when is too little too late?
Is it?
Remind you, Alexander, 18-th of March Kinzhal strikes on the Ivano-Frankovsk facility.
Good day!
All those weapons who The West sent towards but never reached Ukraine will haunt us for years to come.
I am over 60 years-old and have been watching US and western foreign policy for all this time. It has always been obviously corrupt and selfserving, They have been the most warmongering powers in the world over this time. Anybody who thinks that Natos current war in Ukraine is justified is ignorant and subject to the incessant Western propaganda machine.
👍 Thanks 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎄
The crap this bloke comes out with is unbelievable. RT puppet.
The West is very good at the "Divide and rule" tactic that Pres. Putin observes was applied to Russians and Ukrainians. The rest of the world had better be aware.
This tactic was used well in the colonization of Africa and it still rankles…. Xhosa-Zulu, Ndembele-Shona, Hutu-Tutsi Oromo-Tigrinya, Ibo-Hausa and so on…all Africans
Why do Africans relate to the west at all?
Beware if Alex want to WhatsAPP you with You Tube reply. I reply, Alex not there, many Russian virus on phone, much money and time to fix.
A Merry Christmas to you and your family! You sound a little under the weather. Take care and get well soon

Put a windmill on the roof of your car 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As always Alexander your assessment is spot on.
The US is incapable of maintaining its socio political system and global dominance under the market conditions it has promoted and even forced upon the rest of the world. Now unable to retain its economic, and thus military, leadership it is forcing a decoupling of Russia (energy, resources and arms) and China (manufacturing, finance) with as much of the globe as possible. Better to rule part of the world than to lose everything. Europe has completely surrendered its own socio economic interests, blindly following Washington at its own expense – deindustrialization and US economic exploitation, reducing itself to the level of Latin America. The European elites and political class have betrayed their fellow citizens. The new cold war is nothing but vulgar economic protectionism by the US, including the reboot of its energy sector and military security complex. Those following events since the mid nineties with any honesty must conclude that the new cold war was unnecessary and the west is largely responsible for the conflict. From the new world order to the new American century to America First and whatever build back better means… the US empire and its vassals never cease to expand their control of the world and its resources.
Ukraine can’t win on the battlefield, it has been on the losing end since the beginning even if the tactical situation sometimes seems to indicate the opposite, the strategic situation is hopeless, but Russia could lose if the Russian people do not support the government and its military operation.
The real danger remains western adventurism, perceiving Russian inaction – read lack of decisive large scale operations – as weakness. This might lead to forms of intervention once the Ukrainians show clear signs of breaking (similar to blowing up NS1/2). The west has heavily invested in a positive outcome of this conflict, losing Ukraine will lead to socio political backlash, as all those billions of aid and loans will have to be written off. This will be unacceptable for the hawks, neocons and their financial puppet masters. War might be the preferable outcome, gambling all instead of having to account for their (proxie) defeat.

If you tell your people that there can only be victory you can’t expect them to accept defeat AND the bill.
The more decisive and sooner a Russian victory the more chance we have that they’ll reach a peaceful solution, the weaker Russian position the more likely this will grow into a larger conflict.
Hey Alexander, I looove good analysis. Kudos. Mark Martens, Accidental Scientist
