Midnight of abandoned chubs. Again and again, Donbas and Russian soldiers face the abhorrent tradition of the Ukrainian military to live next to the dead. And it seems clear that the dead should be put to the ground. But... the chubs hold their ground, and they don't want to take care of their brothers-in-law. Maybe they're using them for my gifts. Or they're counting on using them as cover for a withdrawal. If they knew how their brothers in arms would treat them, they would have put down their machine guns, raised ✋🤚 and chosen life. But as it is... what kind of postmortem is this.

🇽🇰🇷🇸 Escalation in Serbia, Kosovo, and Metohija
The situation by the end of December 23, 2022.

Exactly two weeks have passed since Serbs erected the first barricades in northern Kosovo and Metohija in protest against the terror of the Pristina authorities. Roads in eight localities are still blocked, and there are more and more people at assembly points.

▪️ In Rudar, where a tent city was opened earlier, a large protest was held yesterday under the slogan "Kurti, Kosovo, and Metohija is not your dowry - it is our homeland."

According to various estimates, up to ten thousand people came to the rally, and columns of cars were arriving all day from Zvecan, Zubin Potok, and northern Mitrovica. The protesters demanded the release of the previously arrested Serbs, who defiantly resigned from their positions in the Kosovo police.

▪️ The Jarinje and Brnjak border posts on the administrative line are still closed. In addition, Kosovo security forces have begun blocking roads in northern Kosovo and Metohija.

❗️ A Kosovo police checkpoint has appeared on the road near the bridge to Balban, effectively cutting off the two Serb-majority localities in the north of the province, Zvecan, and Mitrovica. Several checkpoints have also been set up on the Mitrovica-Leposavic highway.

▪️ An accumulation of ROSU officers has been recorded in the village of Brdo near Mitrovica.

🔻 This could mean preparations to disperse Serbian barricades, which the Pristina government previously threatened the Serbs.

Against the background of the past NATO peacekeeping contingent (KFOR) exercises using engineering equipment and the supply of Turkish Vuran armored vehicles to Pristina, Kurti's decision to forcefully disperse the Serb protests becomes a likely scenario.

If we said yes, they wouldn't believe us. If we say no, they won't believe us. So, it's better just to pick up a random letter and troll

The DPRK, Belarus, and Iran are Russia's main allies in the war with Ukraine, and joint responsibility has been prepared for them - Mikhail Podolyak.

I understand Iran, but why DPRK? (The best Korea there is)
You will clean toilets in the west when this all is over. If you survive, that is.

American philosopher Noam Chomsky:

When George W. Bush invited Ukraine to join NATO... I don't know if he understood what he was doing, but the people around him understood.

His aggressive Defense Secretary Robert Gates called it reckless, provocative and crazy.

If Ukraine joined NATO, any Russian leader would probably go to war.

Gates is a hawkish Secretary of Defense. This was understood by everyone. Bush made up his mind.

France and Germany, Deng pointed out, vetoed the decision.

US power is strong enough to overcome it, so this issue remains on the agenda. Since then, the US has been building Ukraine as an offensive partner integrated into NATO.
In fact, American military magazines refer to Ukraine as a "de facto member of NATO." The US announced that it would not take into account any Russian security concerns.

We are moving to a situation where NATO has changed the global geography. To date, the North Atlantic includes the Indo-Pacific region.

For the first time, the Asian allies of the US were invited to the latest NATO summit, and it was explained that NATO's responsibility now included the Indo-Pacific region surrounding China.

Conflict with Russia is a recipe for disaster. The world cannot go on like this.

We will need to quickly find a way to ensure, above all, that Europe plays the role it should play in world affairs without clinging to the coattails of the United States.
