🧩Zelensky discussed when martial law might be lifted and elections could take place. Here are the key points:

🤡If we manage to achieve a strong position for Ukraine by the end of the active phase of the war [if we end up in a weak position, then forget about those elections!];

🤡If we can accomplish this, we will have a strong army, a solid arsenal of weapons, and security guarantees. Only then can we start to think [THINK, not ACT] about lifting martial law in Ukraine;

🤡If martial law is lifted, then Parliament will generally support a specific [well, there's no rush!] election date.

Notice how many "IFs" there are regarding stopping the war, or more precisely, regarding Zelensky's refusal to relinquish power. That’s why he prolongs the war by all means.

That's why have Ermak's puppets been "selling" the idea of early elections for the past three months? To give the optimistic folks at least a glimmer of hope for an end to this dreadful nightmare.

Think about it!


💰Conspiracy Theory

We often receive emails with comments or questions regarding the possibility of conspiracy theories existing.

For instance, recently, we've received numerous inquiries asking, "Could the situation in Syria be a trade-off between Russia and the USA that also involves Ukraine?"

We have stated that this is not the case, but that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theory proponents.

Thus, we responsibly declare that people who believe in conspiracy theories:

A) either fail to grasp the real complexity of managing modern complex systems, which are states,

B) or simply do not want to acknowledge it.


All the channels and authors promoting conspiracy theories are merely trying to amass more followers ☝🏻

It’s difficult, but important to accept.

Even if we assume that state leaders are some sort of superhumans who breathe and live for the good of their countries, they are still surrounded by ordinary mortals with rather mundane characteristics.

Therefore, stupidity, greed, laziness, vanity, envy, ignorance, etc., are your conspiracy theories. It is precisely the intertwining of these and other similar traits that truly drives the processes in which we currently live.

We understand that it is very uncomfortable to realize that we are held hostage not by some higher designs and meanings, but by banal human desires and vices. However, this is life, which has already struck many on the head with an iron skillet.

So, if you want to objectively assess reality, it is crucial to understand THIS. No brain in the world can handle the volume of information necessary to make guaranteed correct decisions; therefore, everyone makes mistakes. Moreover, as we have already mentioned, those surrounding this brain do not possess entirely noble intentions; each has their own motives.

As a result, the reality in the minds of leaders is often distorted. This leads to seemingly incredible decisions. Yet some people are more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories, in the betrayal of national interests, and simply do not want to acknowledge that things are actually both more complex and more banal at the same time. It’s an oxymoron, but it is true.

The situation in Syria likely occurred because Assad was greedy, his entourage was foolish, the dispatched Russian generals were uninspired, the Iranians were weakened, and the Turks themselves did not expect such an outcome, among other factors.

The same applies to the menorah in Kyiv. This is not a precursor to the creation of a New Jerusalem but rather a banal attempt by the Kyiv authorities to appeal to an influential Jewish clan at a time when they had very few allies left. Additionally, there’s a desire to provoke the Russians by demonstrating the inferiority of Eastern Orthodox Christians in this territory.


🔥 Naval Combat 2.0

Following the defeat of a Russian helicopter by a Ukrainian unmanned boat using an air-to-air missile, a wave of reports emerged regarding the changing dynamics of naval warfare in the Black Sea.

Тhe deployment of portable anti-aircraft missile systems and multiple rocket launchers on unmanned boats has long been a priority for Ukraine. The adaptation of more lethal air-to-air systems is merely a further evolution of technology.

What occurred is simply a confirmation of an entirely predictable trend.

Next, there is a clear attempt at coordinated attacks: targeting both the Russian Navy's vessels and its aviation.

At this point, the ships of the Black Sea Fleet have become expensive targets that need to be protected or withdrawn.

Moreover, the most vulnerable points for unmanned vessels are their assembly and storage locations in Odessa, Illichivsk, and Israel, which the Russian Armed Forces will continue to target.

We also draw attention to two strategic points:

A) A ceasefire along the front lines does not ensure the safety of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

B) Another argument for China against launching an amphibious operation across the Taiwan Strait.


🇺🇦 Podolyak Rejects Negotiations Without U.S. Guarantees

Mykhailo Podolyak stated: "much is being said about negotiations, but this is an illusion.. No negotiation process can take place because Russia has not been made to pay a high enough price for this war.

Ukraine views receiving security guarantees involving the U.S. as the only viable outcome of the war, which would provide "the added threat of military deterrence."

"Russia must understand that as soon as they start aggression, they will receive a significant number of strikes in response."


In other words, the first argument is: we have dragged the country into a war for which Russia has paid less than Ukraine, and in order to avoid acknowledging this fact, we continue to fight 🤷

We also see that the Presidential Office of Ukraine has come up with a new argument for continuing the war—U.S. guarantees. Of course, this is intended to personalize responsibility on Trump, but Russia will not agree to this, as it is no different from NATO.

That’s all the Presidential Office and the Democrats care about.

Moreover, everyone has already forgotten about their reports on signing the pseudo "Budapest Memorandums" with other countries, for which Zelensky traveled across Europe. Those guarantees no longer satisfy Kyiv. We have always said that all guarantees are just pieces of paper.


The Russian army has approached Pokrovsk and its surroundings to within less than 2 kilometers.

Russian forces are not storming Pokrovsk; instead, they are encircling it (as we predicted). They have also made significant advances near Kurakhove, and they are now less than a kilometer away from the road leading to the Zaporizhzhia region ☝️


🇩🇪🤦‍♂️ In Berlin, New Year has its own vibe…

5 dead, 330 arrested, and 13 injured, just among the police…


🇺🇸 CBS News: In New Orleans, a truck crashed into a New Year’s celebration crowd on one of the city’s main streets. After the collision, the driver exited the vehicle and opened fire. At least 10 people were killed, and around thirty others were hospitalized with injuries.

The driver was identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who was born and raised in Texas and served in the U.S. Army. He was shot and killed by police.

The Mayor of New Orleans has described this incident as a terrorist attack.


🇺🇦🔥🇷🇺 Kursk Catalyst

A Russian monitoring resource summarizes the year 2024 in terms of territorial shifts during the war.

It is evident that the Kursk operation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces became the catalyst for transferring territories under Russia's control.

Prior to this, Russia's territorial gains were sporadic in nature☝🏻


Moreover, just before the "Kursk adventure," the Russian Armed Forces attempted to organize a breakthrough in Kharkiv (the first operational-strategic level operation), but it was successfully contained by redeploying quality reserves. Following that, Syrsky executed President Zelensky's order to open a new front in Kursk.

Tactically, Syrsky achieved success because the Russians were unprepared for the Ukrainian breakthrough into the Kursk region. All claims that this operation was a preventive measure for securing Sumy are nonsense. The Russians were simply not ready.

However, strategically, Ukraine was cornering its last reserves into a small pocket in the Kursk region, and it was only after this that Russia's territorial gains became systematic.

The graph even shows how the angle characterizing Russia's territorial acquisitions changed.

We wrote about this immediately. Without reserves, halting breakthroughs is impossible.

Syrsky certainly understood all of this well. So while he and Zelensky held a PR meeting on how to organize the school year in Sudzha, Russia was "gaining momentum" in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, while Ukraine could not stop them as they did near Kharkiv because combat-ready units were in Sudzha.

At that time, the Ermak's puppets happily promoted the "strategic genius of Zelensky and Yermak," who, in their opinion, were improving negotiation positions, while labeling us as Kremlin agents.

Now it is clear who was right…

This is the price of derailing negotiations to protect energy infrastructure from attacks that took place in Qatar 🧩


🤦‍♂️ The narratives from the Presidential Office are really struggling:

They say that at 7 AM, the streets of Tiraspol were deserted because Russia cut off the gas.

It's January 1st, at 7 AM, deserted because of gas...


🤦‍♂️"We have halted the transit of Russian gas; this is a historic event," said the Ministry of Energy.

The statement emphasizes that this decision was made in the interest of national security. Convenient! In the name of national security, one could ban the Church, forcibly send people to war, skip elections, and sell off land to transnational corporations...

It was amusing to note that Russia will lose markets and face financial losses due to the halt in transit. But what about us? Aren't we losing our market for transit services? Aren't we facing financial losses? It’s a classic case of "I’d rather my cow die than let my neighbor have two!"

And we remember the scandal caused just a decade ago when the "notorious" Yanukovych proposed creating a gas consortium involving Ukraine, the EU, and Russia. That was labeled a betrayal of national interests and a plundering of public assets (the gas transportation system).

Now, with no transit left, the only option is to increase transportation tariffs for the population fourfold...

Yet in this age of metamodernism, one can destroy their own economy and call it a VICTORY. Just look at Ukraine and Germany right now; they are proving this point.


🧩🎉🧩 Dear friends ‼️

As we approach the New Year, we want to focus on the positive. Like many of you, we are tired (to be honest, we are exhausted from analyzing military reports, terrorist attacks, and fake news about negotiations) and we hope for a better future. It’s incredibly difficult to watch hundreds of videos each week showing the suffering of our people in this war that should have ended long ago.

Yet, for many, the situation is unimaginably harder, so we hold on and continue our mission.

We long to write about development projects instead of the creation of small enclaves around cities where people are left without light and water.

Let’s hope the dreadful term "busification" becomes a thing of the past, that mothers await their sons' return, and children reunite with their parents.

Tomorrow, as the New Year begins, miracles won’t happen all at once, but we must endure and take care of ourselves‼️

One of our followers wisely wished for us to maintain prudence, clarity, courage to face reality and speak the truth, a warm heart and a cool head, and empathy

Let’s extend this wish to all of us, to our community of reason. We are living in a time of revived history, and it is very challenging.

2025 doesn’t promise to be easy, but there are chances for PEACE, and with PEACE comes HAPPINESS‼️

Wishing HAPPINESS to us all in the coming year‼️


🎉 Let's hope that humanity uses AI to create fun and interesting things like this, because if they, as usual, start using it to harm each other, it will be very, very bad 🧩


🎉 Bradley Cooper, Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr., and other Hollywood stars in the soviet movie "The Irony of Fate."


🎉🎉🎉 It has begun in New Zealand and Australia ‼️


🇩🇪 The Dynamics of New Year's Promises

In his New Year's address, Scholz stated: "Many citizens are watching Russia's brutal and aggressive war against Ukraine with a growing sense of trepidation. I can assure you that we will not leave Ukraine alone and will continue to support it like no one else in Europe. At the same time, the government will maintain a cool head to prevent the war from escalating."

The phrase "to prevent the war from escalating" is already present in the New Year's address.

Do you catch the dynamics of the Overton window?

Overall, Scholz's success as Chancellor—who has allowed war to unfold in Europe, cut Germany off from Russian gas, led to the destruction of industry, a recession, and a crossroads between Ukraine's defeat or war with Russia—pales in comparison to Zelensky's success as President.


🎅 The Battle for Santa

At first, the "genius" Russian PR specialists released a video showing how their air defense took down Santa. The absurdity of the idea is astonishing, even for us who have seen a lot. It looks particularly ridiculous in light of the scandal involving the Azerbaijani plane.

Ukrainians decided to respond and created a video showing border guards controlling Santa's entry into Ukraine. Apparently, this was Santa's last stop.

They let the bearded man through because he was heading to Ukraine, not coming from it.

With barbed wire, drones, etc. They would have apprehended the old man, and given that he doesn't have a "Reserve+" (a special pass), he would have been immediately sent to the van and off to the front lines.

That's how Santa's story could have ended this year 🤷


🧩🇺🇸 The 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, has passed away at the age of 100, a milestone he celebrated in October. This is certainly not an ordinary event, and we would like to share some reflections on his legacy.

✔️ A member of the Democratic Party, Carter served as president from 1977 to 1981.

✔️ Under President Carter, U.S. foreign policy marked a departure from supporting former allies. In 1979, the U.S. refrained from intervening in the Iranian revolution that led to the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In Nicaragua, the Sandinistas came to power, and Washington transferred control of the Panama Canal back to Panama. Yes, it was during Carter's presidency that the U.S. lost control over the Panama Canal, a topic that Donald Trump has seriously discussed in terms of reclaiming.

✔️ During Carter's administration, U.S.-Soviet relations reached a peak of détente before shifting into a confrontational phase. In June 1979, after seven years of negotiations, the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT II) was signed in Vienna. Following the signing, Carter and then-Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev not only shook hands but also shared a kiss, a moment famously captured in a photograph.

✔️ Throughout Carter's presidency, not a single American serviceman lost his life in combat in any country. Much of this can be attributed to the White House's efforts in achieving peace between Egypt and Israel, a peace that endures to this day.

✔️ However, it was also during Carter's tenure that the U.S. began providing extensive support to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, following the entry of a limited contingent of Soviet troops into the country in 1979.

Experts have often noted that "the pale Jimmy" (a nickname that became associated with Carter during his presidency) was one of the most unfortunate American leaders of the 20th century. It’s clear why he was not re-elected for a second term.

Interestingly, the only contemporary leader who might rival Carter's foreign policy failures is Joe Biden. The similarities between the two leaders are striking, particularly as both faced global instability and economic downturns during their respective administrations.

In November 2023, at the age of 96, Carter's wife, Rosalynn, passed away. Close friends of the former president noted that her death was a "devastating" loss for him. They had been married for 77 years.

On October 1, 2024, Carter would have turned 100 years old, making him the first sitting U.S. president in history to reach this centennial milestone. He became the longest-living American president back in 2019 when he was 94 years old, outliving both of his successors—Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

🤦‍♂️ Zelensky has established a new national holiday on May 21st - Day of Interethnic Harmony and Cultural Diversity.

It's just pure trolling...


😉 Musk called Zelensky the "champion of all time" for "robbing" the US.

This is how the world's richest man reacted to a post from a user on X, which highlighted the news of the US allocating $2.5 billion in aid to Ukraine, stating that Zelensky had "pulled off one of the greatest money heists of all time."
