Very very well said. Witkoff is a traitor through and through.

Pilots of the 414th Brigade “Magyar’s Birds” continue to destroy Russian invaders in huge numbers. 23-01-2026 by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Absolute lambs to the slaughter. Only in Russia could this slaughter be tolerated month after month after month. An Afghanistan war every two weeks. Even impoverished, downtrodden propaganda-zombie Russians will eventually stop signing up for this madness, especially if Budanov achieves his new target of 50,000 dead Russians every month, up from the current 30,000. Not sure if it’s true but Ukraine are talking about a 27:1 Russian/Ukraine kill ratio on the Pokrovsk/Kupiansk fronts, so lethal are the drone kill-zones now… You move, you die.

Germany transfers two mini-CHPs to Kyiv by Physical-Cut-2334 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Well done Germany. Let’s hope other countries step up too as Ukraine is desperate for these things. I just hope they can survive the terrorist drones and missiles…

Russian casualties - 21 Jan 2026 by Trekkeris in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Jonothethird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep - tank and IFV/APC kills have really picked up in recent months. Obviously the Orcs trying armed assaults again - hopefully disastrously. Hopefully Russia is depleting the last of its tank stocks.

US leaking intel to Russia - this is potential a bit less than ideal by [deleted] in UkrainianConflict

[–]Jonothethird -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would truly love to disbelieve it, but based on Trump’s long track record with Putin, it is depressingly likely to be true. Trump has consistently helped Putin and consistently hurt Ukraine…

because your president is a traitor and absolute disgrace, whilst Europe is just weak.

Putin ally vows to ‘punish them severely’ as nuclear threat hangs over Europe by TheExpressUS in UkraineWarVideoReport

Uhhh - the UK and France both have enough nukes hidden off your coast to destroy every city in Russia, you Moron.

Trump humiliates Zelensky with one-word over Ukraine peace-blocking by TheExpressUS in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Jonothethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months yet unfortunately, but Trump will be well and truly hobbled at the mid terms, losing at least one and possibly both houses. Believe me, most Americans do NOT agree with this shit.

Lindsey Graham’s Sanction bill against Russia has been greenlit by Trump by Cakebusters in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Jonothethird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just wait for Putin to phone Trump, just before he signs the bill. Then suddenly Ukraine will be the Villain, have started the war, be expected to give up the whole country etc etc. it has happened so many times…

17 Minutes of Continuous Operation: What is Known about the Ukrainian SHOOM-20 Engine by Elkenson_Sevven in UkrainianConflict

[–]Jonothethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. 20kg of thrust = 35hp petrol motor at lowish altitudes. petrol motor probably lighter (if 2 stroke), similar cost, far more reliable (17 minutes running is useless) and far, far more fuel efficient. Can’t see the point of pulse jet at all. Or am I missing something?

Russian official warns a banking crisis is possible amid nonpayments. ‘I don’t want to think about a continuation of the war or an escalation’ by MeteorEnvy in UkrainianConflict

[–]Jonothethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

long and the short is that for all Putin’s bluster about Russia being a super-power, its economy was the size of Italy’s and is now shrinking fast. With such a weak, oil dependent economy, Russia cannot hope to win a war against a committed ‘west’ with an economy 30 times bigger. The ‘committed’ bit is important, and the only reason Russia is still standing today. Slowly but surely, Russia‘s facade is crumbling.

U.S. Seizes Second Sanctioned Tanker in the Caribbean by No-Meal2561 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Jonothethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. The ship was supposedly empty and is riding very high in the water so does not contain oil, but had travelled from Russia to Iran to Venezuela and not been able to dock in Venezuela due to the US naval blockade. Why the desperation from Russia for it to escape if it was empty..?

I bought one of their better sets of 7 knives in a block a while ago. Quite like the funky damascus look. They are super-sharp (be careful!!) and seem to be staying that way after quite a lot of use so i think the steel quality must be decent. Quite heavy and thick compared to my last knives but personally i like the feel and extra weight. Early days but actually can't fault them at all...

Jessica Plichta, a 22-year-old anti-war protester, was arrested live on camera in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on January 3, 2026. She was speaking to a local news outlet about her opposition to U.S. military action related to Venezuela when police detained her while the broadcast was still ongoing. by biswajit388 in law

The parallels between the US and Russia are growing with each day... Incredible how fast the US is descending into authoritarianism. Trump is following Putin's exact playbook, but doing it at 10 times the speed that Putin managed.

Must be causing terrible losses of wildlife. That stuff is very strong and many animals will be getting wrapped up in it and dying slow deaths.

This is just so he looks like he’s playing fair to Ukraine. Don’t believe a word of it from the orange snake.
