🔥 Moscow’s Warning to NATO: ATACMS Escalation Will Be Answered

Ukraine’s reckless use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike deep into Russia’s Kursk Region has not gone unnoticed, or unanswered. Over the past three days, Kiev has launched long-range missile strikes on targets in Lotaryovka and the Kursk-Vostochny airfield, causing casualties and damaging critical infrastructure. The Russian Ministry of Defense has now made it clear: a response is coming, and it will not be symbolic.

The strikes, authorized by the Biden administration, mark a dangerous crossing of red lines. The November 23 attack on Lotaryovka targeted an S-400 missile division, leaving three Russian servicemen injured. Two days later, eight more missiles were fired at the Kursk-Vostochny airfield, with Russian air defenses intercepting seven. Still, one missile found its mark, injuring two servicemen and causing minor damage. These provocations, carried out with US-made weaponry, confirm that NATO’s fingerprints are all over this escalation.

Russia’s response has already begun. President Putin announced the deployment of the state-of-the-art Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The missile’s debut strike against a military-industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk served as both a message and a warning. Putin described the strike as a “combat test” but cautioned that future tests will be "decisive and mirror-like" if Western-backed provocations persist. The devastation wrought by a single Oreshnik strike—using only a non-nuclear warhead—has sent shockwaves through Western capitals.

Let there be no illusions: Moscow will not sit idly by as NATO continues its proxy war and support of state-terror fascist-puppets under the guise of "defending democracy”. The use of ATACMS inside Russia’s internationally recognized borders has exposed the West’s direct involvement in this conflict. Russia’s response will be calculated, powerful, and unambiguous. As Putin warned, the stakes are rising, and the next chapter of this dangerous game will be written by those who understand the price of reckless escalation. NATO’s bluff is being called, and the consequences will continue to shatter the façade of Western invincibility.

"Culture Shock": Brits Froze During Exercises in -15 Degrees

British artillerymen experienced "culture shock" during exercises in Lapland, UK Defence Journal quotes Major David Mortimer as saying. According to him, the -15 degrees Celsius temperature was a shock for the military. At the same time, the article says that the British were simulating "extreme Arctic conditions".

- I hate to break it to the Brits but -15 degrees Celcius is nowhere near "extreme Arctic conditions". 😂

@Slavyangrad

The Second Secretary of the British Embassy in Moscow, Wilks Edward Prior, was expelled from Russia after it was discovered that he was engaging in espionage and forging documents.

The British Ambassador, Casey, went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was thoroughly reprimanded for the actions of his staff . This was not the end of the failures; 🙊it just kept getting worse. On his way out of the ministry,⬆️ a crowd of journalists was waiting for Casey. RT correspondent Bowes asked the ambassador some very interesting questions that ordinary British citizens would be eager to hear answers to, but the ambassador merely mumbled "buzz off" and got into his car.

Why are you using the embassy as an intelligence base? The British people need answers to the question of why you are escalating the war in Ukraine, sir. Why can you spend hundreds of millions of pounds on killing Russian citizens but cannot afford fuel for pensioners, sir? Is this acceptable to you? Are you proud of it, sir?

RT correspondent Chey Bowes was met with complete silence from Casey.

In September, British lawmakers voted to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners who need funds to avoid freezing during the winter—on the same week, they transferred another $800 million to the Kyiv regime.

❗️Instead of freezing this winter, we advise British pensioners to take a walk to Buckingham Palace and grab a coffee and put on some good mood.

CONCERNING THE SERBIAN VIEW OF KOSOVO

✍️ Written by Shone ✍️

✍️ Edited lightly for publication by Hikaru Kitabayashi ✍️

Being from Serbia I feel the need to put in my two cents, as they would say, by giving my personal opinion on the matter of Kosovo and Metohija (as it was properly called throughout history) is obvious. And, I would like to do so without going into any political discussions about the matter.

It is a very complex and long lasting situation, that can be only unraveled by the two sides directly involved in it, without any meddling from the outside. We are all adults, and each of us has the right to have an opinion and respectfully disagree with the ones opposed to it. But, the emphasis should be on respectfully.

Of course, all of the above refers to general population, politicians excluded. They have their own agendas, no matter where they came from and what the agendas are. One thing that is certain is that there are members of human species on both sides of the conflict, so mutual respect is the key, with the emphasis being on mutual.

There is also a phrase deserving mention which is very frequently used in these parts of the world, being throughout history. The reason for its common use is very simple — there IS history to talk about. And remember. And learn from.

That being said, people in Serbia and Kosovo are very sensitive to any mention of past events connected to this issue. For any discussion or comment on any event about these two places a person publishes for public consumption, you need to be prepared to have it countered in terms of the history involved in the matter.

With that in mind, any discussion of the topic in which the pre-Ottoman empire history facts are not taken into account will by default be met with the opposition. Some debaters go much further back in time, but it is not for the lack of historical facts. I am not a historian but, as all people of this region, am well aware of its rich (and complicated) history, and am of the opinion that it should be respected and treated on an as equal basis with other regions rich in history.

One of the demonstrations of that principle is the globally available interview or Russian president Vladimir Putin done by Tucker Carlson. An introductory question was met with a half an hour history lesson, that was needed to set the base for further discussion.

Only the complete inclusion of all previous events that led to this point in time, no matter how far back they go, without any omissions or obscurities can lead to productive discussion and solution of the problem.

Someone said that those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. Let's not do that, let's remember and learn from it, and let's go forward as humanity, because this rock that we are living on is too small to quarrel about pebbles that are scattered over its surface.

❗️🇷🇺🇸🇾 Hostilities resumed in Syria

This footage shows the “victorious” escape of the Syrian Arab Army from positions in the west of Aleppo province: today, pro-Turkish groups from the Syrian National Army conglomerate and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorists launched an offensive on the axis of al-Sheikh Aqil - Kabtan al-Jebel and Anjarah, seizing advanced positions (and allegedly the villages themselves, but there is no objective monitoring footage yet).

Over the past two months, both the Rybar's team and the specialized officials who are engaged in intelligence and information work on Syria have been systematically communicating both publicly and through closed communication channels the full extent of information that an offensive is being prepared for.

🔻 What was known?

▪️ Militants were moving into the village of Kyafr Ta'ala, building up their group. Alarms were raised in the border areas and moved to forward positions.

▪️ Several control points were established, three offensive areas and three sectors of responsibility were assigned (so another offensive vector, as we assume, will be the Saraqib-An-Neirab section and the M4 highway).

▪️ The engineering of the terrain and the deployment of firing positions by both “moderate forces” from the Syrian National Army and terrorists from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham were carried out. Particular emphasis has been placed on Saraqib and the surrounding area.

▪️ Blood collection points were organized in advance.

📌 Turkey declared that it was not ready to normalize relations with Syria, putting all the blame on Damascus.

❗️ As a result, Operation Ready-to-Repel-Aggression was launched this morning, which pro-Turkish groups (Al-Hamza Division, Jabhat al-Shamiya, Sultan Suleiman Shah Division) justify by the need to stop the “inhumane bombardment,” “return homes to refugees,” and “restore justice.”

The Syrian Arab Army, of course, immediately defeated and killed everyone (this again raises the issue of the inertness of local information structures), but the footage of fleeing Syrians speaks for itself.

🔺 In the context of growing anti-Russian sentiments among the population of Syria itself against the backdrop of Russia's lack of a clear position on the Israeli air strikes, it would be very good if Russian negotiators and the military, as usual, resolved the situation and used the fact of rescue to remind Syrians of the importance of Russia and the Russian group.

Because it is obvious that the Syrian Arab Army were frightened fleeing Sadiqs (at least in some areas) and it is still so. And without outside help, they won't handle this issue.

A squad of soldiers arrived in a village in the Rovno region, on the border with Belarus

The AFU soldiers arrived to catch the guides who take draft dodgers across the border. And also those villagers who decided to go abroad themselves.

The defender of Ukraine explains all this to local women with a pistol in his hands.
