Thoughts on Rus-Ukr war updates.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Ukraine could have surrendered in 2014. But we didn’t.
Ukraine could have surrendered in 2022. But we didn’t.
And we could surrender now. But we will not.

We. Are. Ukrainians. We will not surrender.
The Russian economic collapse is quickly picking up speed.

🔹Both India and China are cutting 2/3 of their Russian oil imports
🔹Russian oil exports are dropping every week due to weaker demand

Their economy is already crumbling, this may catalyze a full collapse quickly.📉💥

What's up is down. What's black is white. And apparently US humanitarian aid after Russia's 1990s economic collapse was sent to destroy the Russian economy.

Will they say the same thing after their coming economic collapse I wonder?🤔

Let's find out.📉🫟

Serbia painfully learned you cannot trust the Russians as NIS refinery closes.

"For nine months, we simply copied everything our Russian friends asked us to do and signed all their requests, which resulted in our country finding itself in a very difficult situation." -- Vučić

The CEO of Rosneft has admitted openly that Russia is China's economic vassal.

Referring to China as "the only industrial superpower", he doubled down on Russia's role as China's gas station, but left out that China's leverage and Russia's desperation will mean huge discounts.📉

💥Confirmation that last night's strike on the Beriev Aviation Plant in Taganrog destroyed at least 2 aircraft and damaged the factory and an S-400.

That factory was reportedly responsible for upgrading Tu-95s, and at least one aircraft being modernized may have been damaged.

Another datapoint showing a crumbling Russian economy.

Despite official claims that wages have increased, sales of electronics are notably down. People are deferring purchases and choosing cheaper models or fixing devices.

And this demand drop was NOT seen in previous crises.📉

Russia becoming more of an economic vassal of China.

They can't afford to build railways due to the war costs, so they are offering rare-earth deposits to China in exchange for a railway being built.

Apparently now they're China's mine since the gas station ran out of gas.🪨⛏️

🚨Fuel price caps are forcing Russian stations to sell at a loss.

Before expenses, AI-92 is -2.1 rubles and AI-95 is -1 ruble per litre. And after expenses across all fuel types, it's -6.3 rubles PER LITRE. Unsurprisingly, stations are closing.

Expect 2026 to be disastrous.📉💥

The Beriev Aviation Plant in Taganrog, where aircraft such as the A-50 AWACS are manufactured, has reportedly been struck by Neptune missiles this hour.

This video appears to show an A-50 on fire at the plant:

Novorossiysk now - what airdefence doing?!?

More signs the Russian economy is crumbling amid manipulated official data.

Almost 70% of Russians reported having ZERO savings in the first 2 weeks of November. This despite claims income is up.

Something's definitely up, but it's not income. And it's sure not the economy.📉💥

"We are under attack" - Italy Defence Minister on Russian hybrid war on the EU.

As an eventful week of negotiations begins in Geneva, Italy's warning of the need for more active EU security measures against Russia looms large.

The EU's fate and Ukraine's are deeply intertwined.

Hi @secrubio.govpeeps.us - I just heard you haven't seen any counterplan from the Europeans.

Here you go! Please see below:

The full text of the EU counterproposal has been released.

Interesting reading. I wonder how the negotiations this week will go.

💔A father gently rocking his child's coffin.

In Ternopil, Ukraine says goodbye to Maria and her 2 little children, killed by a Russian missile that struck their building Nov. 19.

The father was the only survivor from the apartment.

This is what Russia does to Ukrainian families. Every single day.

Ungrateful Ukrainians, didn’t even thank for such a brilliant plan of their own capitulation and rewarding the Russian aggressor.
November 23, 2025 at 4:13 PM
I have a question.

Why is the US suddenly so urgently trying to push a capitulation agreement onto Ukraine? Why such a short deadline, and why is there no pressure on the Russians to follow up on the major success of recent US sanctions?

What do you guys think is going on here?
November 23, 2025 at 8:22 AM
Someone please explain WTF is going on in the US.

We're pretty sure the 28 point plan came from @kadmitriev, because @SteveWitkoff admitted it.

@marcorubio confirmed this to US senators, calling it a Russian proposal.

Later he said it was US-authored.

What a clown show.🤡

A reminder why Putin is desperate to end the war ASAP.

Revenue is falling due to US and drone sanctions, and 5 months ago banks warned a debt crisis was coming within 12 months. Now bad debt is over 10 trillion rubles, and that crisis is arriving.

They are almost out of time.💣

If Zelensky doesn’t like this deal, then, you know, they should just keep fighting, – Trump
November 21, 2025 at 11:27 PM
What a surprise, exactly as expected. Of course Putin agreed to the plan {of Ukraine’s capitulation}

“We have this draft; we received it through existing channels of communication with the U.S. administration. I believe it can also serve as a basis for a final peace settlement.”

🇺🇦Today we mark the Day of Dignity and Freedom.

In November, two revolutions began: the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013 Revolution of Dignity.

Now we face another serious test. We must not allow the dignity and freedoms our people have defended and fought for over decades to be taken from us.
