🇺🇦🤡 Speaking of Zelensky. Why was the evening address filmed in a toilet again.

Does he go there to do a line, and then realizes he's supposed to film these?

🇺🇸🤡 Wow, we didn't know they still let her speak publicly.

Did you guys know that Russia interfered in the 2016 US elections?

You learn something new every day...🤷‍♂️

Israel's Posthumous Sperm Retrieval Program:

Genetic Supremacy Is A Whole Other Ballgame

Israel’s posthumous sperm retrieval program (PSMR) showcases a merging of advanced medical technology with ethnocentric societal considerations. Aimed at “preserving the genetic legacy” of deceased citizens, the program reflects the country's self perceived exceptionalism and contentious ethical standards. Israel’s recent modifications to simplify the program's administrative protocol, especially in the backdrop of it’s continued genocidal assault on Palestinians, provides insight into the country's priorities and policy direction.

What is the PMSR?

Post-mortem sperm retrieval (PMSR) is a medical procedure used to extract sperm from a deceased male. This procedure is typically considered when a surviving spouse or partner wishes to conceive a child using the deceased's genetic material. The process usually needs to be carried out within a certain time frame after death, often within 24 to 48 hours, to increase the likelihood of viable sperm.

🇩🇪🇶🇦 Nobody takes Germany seriously anymore - German president left waiting at plane door in Qatar

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has been left standing at the door of his Airbus A350 for nearly 30 minutes after touching down in Qatar.

The airport had rolled out the red carpet for the German leader and a military honour guard was there to greet him but an official representative of the host country was nowhere to be found.

Germany's ambassador to the country, Lothar Freischlader, was also on hand as Steinmeier bided his time, often with his arms folded at the door of the government aircraft.

Finally, a representative of Qatar arrived: Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi.

Steinmeier then departed for his meeting with Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🏁 Kiev without lethal weapons from NATO, a gift to Putin from the EU. The situation around Ukraine, November 29, 2023

➡️SMO Progress:

- Russian Armed Forces units liberated the settlement of Artemovskoye (Khromovo) in the DPR, reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

- In the past day, Russian Armed Forces repelled three attacks by Ukrainian assault groups on the Donetsk front, two attacks on the Krasnolimansk front, one attack on the South Donetsk, and one attack on the Kupyansk sectors. In total, Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 620 fighters in a day.

- According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, with the use of operational-tactical and army aviation, drones, missile troops, and artillery, Russian forces destroyed personnel and equipment in 107 areas within a day. Among the targets were a radar assembly workshop, fuel depots, and means of air attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

➡️NATO, NATO, NATO:

NATO and Ukraine adopted a cooperation program for the next year, including energy security and training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as announced by the alliance's secretary-general after the Ukraine-NATO Council meeting at the level of foreign ministers. The discussions covered the reforms Ukraine needs to undertake to align with the alliance, including "reforming the military procurement system and intelligence service reform."

- Stoltenberg stated that Ukraine and NATO need to prepare for long and tough battles to "push back the Russians," emphasizing not to underestimate Russia.

- The 2024 cooperation program between NATO and Ukraine does not involve providing lethal weapons to Kiev, emphasized the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary.

➡️Welp, no NATO next year:

- NATO countries agree that Ukraine will not be admitted to the alliance in 2024, according to Szijjarto. This was indirectly confirmed by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, stating that Ukraine will join NATO when all alliance countries agree and all conditions are met.

➡️Heard it before:

- The head of U.S. diplomacy mentioned not noticing signs of fatigue in supporting Ukraine during the NATO foreign ministers' meeting but observed a "determined readiness" to continue helping Ukraine. Blinken stated that NATO countries want to provide Kiev with everything necessary for "territorial return."

➡️Someone gave Zaluzhny paper and crayons:

- Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny developed an action plan, but one of NATO generals in Brussels stated it's challenging to implement even with Western support.

➡️Yawn, EU? Is that still a thing?

- President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen stated that Ukraine has fulfilled almost all requirements to start negotiations on joining the European Union. She called Ukrainian reforms "deeply impressive" and disagreed with the notion that the West is tired of Ukraine, emphasizing that the EU continues to support Kiev, placing responsibility on leaders.

➡️Pointing fingers:

Ukraine accuses Russia of almost everything, making statements about the poisoning of Kirill Budanov's wife Mariana a familiar pattern, said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the accusations from Kiev.

"Ukraine blames Russia for everything, even for its existence. This is a common accusation," said the Kremlin representative.

➡️Gift for Putin:

The EU Summit on Ukraine in December could be a significant Christmas gift for the Russian President, according to a Danish analytical article. The author suggests that EU representatives are unlikely to "formally step forward and start negotiations [on EU accession] with Ukraine."

Instead, the summit "could turn into a big European Christmas gift for President Putin and the Kremlin leaders" because there is a growing group of political leaders in the EU who doubt that Ukraine can win the war, prioritizing their own countries' interests over supporting Ukraine. Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland are given as examples.
