Margarita Simonyan, one of the main Russian propagandists, complains that Tucker Carlson did not start a conversation with Putin about conservative values (after all, this is the main idea of Carlson’s viewers). Thus, even loyal Putin propagandists criticize this interview. Be that as it may, even Carlson himself said that he was not yet ready to comment on this interview. Which indicates his negative impression.

Isn’t the completely failed strategy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2023 grounds for the dismissal of the commander-in-chief? Let's look at 2023 from the perspective of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The loss of Bakhmut, the failure of the offensive in the Zaporozhye region. Underestimation of Russia's mobilization and industrial capabilities and, as a result, the encirclement and probable loss of the large fortified hub of Avdeevka. To be honest, I don’t quite understand why Ukrainians idolize Zaluzhny so much? Although perhaps this is understandable. This is exactly the image of the victorious general in 2022 that was painted by Ukrainian and foreign media. Well, how can you not fall in love? Let's look at Zelensky's culpability in the loss of foreign (American) support. Do you really think that Zelensky’s personality was the reason for blocking Ukrainian aid in the House of Representatives? I believe this is just part of the Republicans' plan to take power. And it doesn’t matter who would be the current president of Ukraine: Poroshenko, Zaluzhny or Stepan Bandera, aid to Ukraine would still be blocked. Perhaps you think that this influenced the blocking of borders by Polish or Slovak farmers? But I think that this also has nothing to do with Zelensky’s personality or politics

The Russians are also a nuclear power. However, in comparison with the French, they have a significant advantage - they do not care about their losses, they do not care about their destroyed towns and their civilians. Russians are ready for nuclear war and want it, but Europe is not. In addition, Russia has the space to withstand nuclear strikes; its area is huge. And look at the density of cities in Europe - every nuclear strike will cause huge losses.

It is thanks to this attitude of the Europeans that Russian troops will be able to break through to the channel. Don't count on Ukraine being able to survive 2024. Today everything seems reliable, but in a short time the front may collapse and Russian troops will advance hundreds of kilometers, as on February 24, 2022. By the way, there was a similar situation near Balakleya. For many months the front line seemed motionless, but a few days later the Russian front collapsed.

Yes, but thanks to European petrodollars, this price is quite acceptable for Russia, isn’t it? The concept of “extortionate prices” is pure populism. There are acceptable prices and there are unacceptable prices. Ukraine now has an almost completely destroyed infrastructure and industry. About a third of its small businesses have emigrated abroad. A significant part of its working population will be drafted into the army and will not be able to participate in industrial construction. The only source of income for Ukraine remains the export of grain, but one should not delude themselves about this source, since Ukraine’s neighbors, such as Poland or Slovakia, are actively working on it. to deprive Ukraine of this source of income. Considering all of the above, answer, can Ukraine, without real and active help, plan its defense against the largest state in the world, more than 3 times larger than Ukraine in population? Do you have any recommendations for Ukraine? There is no need to pretend, and Zelensky and Zaluzhny last year clearly said what Ukraine needs to win, but these requests were not even a third fulfilled. Yes, yes, I know about the very frivolous attitude of Europeans towards the current situation in Europe, that’s why I’m trying to get through to you. We need to start preparing for war now so as not to be captured by the aggressor, as in 1940. Britain may also well find itself cut off from Europe, as it was in 1940, judging by the state of the Royal Armed Forces.

I wonder what they call the desire to get along with someone who dreams of destroying you and has repeatedly directly stated this

Well, I don’t know, in my opinion this is now a new trend in Europe - to elect pro-Russian dudes into your government. Perhaps the reason is that Europeans are beginning to doubt the strength of the United States and are betting on Russia?

Do you hope that a pro-Russian government will come to power in your country and Russia will “forgive” you for your unreasonable opposition to its power?

Let me remind our European friends that the United States is not their personal manager either. Therefore, immediately demand that your governments prepare for a major war. I'm sure a big war in Europe will happen soon

Hahah. How has your rhetoric changed? From "How dare you doubt the steadfastness of American support" to "I don't know, go underground" Hahaha

Yes, and the destroyed M-Tac equipment factory in the center of Kyiv (the most protected place in Ukraine) is evidence of this. Yes, but what about 2024, because if I’m not mistaken, it’s already 2024 outside the window? or are we still living in 2022?

I never thought that I would admire the coherence and coordination of the actions of North Korea and Russia, but it seems that time has come. While opponents are paralyzed by internal problems and conflicts, it’s time to try to change the situation in their favor, and for some reason it seems to me that they will succeed.

This is a common excuse. We all know very well that industry located outside of Ukraine is currently simply invulnerable to Russian attacks. While any industrial enterprise on the territory of Ukraine will not last even a few months after its location is known to the Russians. The assertion that the United States will build industrial infrastructure on Ukrainian territory is nonsense. What kind of finances will they use to do this?

Meanwhile, Russia's allies are supplying it with ballistic missiles

Yes, and also camouflage suits for partisans

You need to read articles like this correctly. They seem to be saying: “We will no longer support Ukraine”

A new blockade of Ukraine, despite the fact that the Polish government agreed to the demands of the protesters. This is very similar to the blockade of Ukrainian aid in the US House of Representatives. As soon as the government agrees to previous demands, new demands will be put forward and the blockade will continue

This is true. The new technology is much less demanding on the user's skills. Listen to the stories of Ukrainian mechanics and drivers of Leopard tanks or Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. They all unanimously claim that this equipment is much easier to control than their Soviet counterparts (I’m sure that F-16 pilots will say the same when comparing them with the MiG-29). However, modern technology is much more difficult to maintain and requires qualified personnel.

In fact, our journalists have already reviewed similar comics on the operation of HMMWV, M113, M2 Bradley. Similar manuals are already freely available online in Ukrainian. However, the problem is most likely in the qualified repair of Western equipment, and not in its maintenance.

The S-300 missile has a warhead of 142 kg of explosives. The missile has an acceleration speed of up to 2000 m/s, which makes it a hypersonic weapon + its ballistic flight path makes it a very difficult target to intercept

Meanwhile, a gigantic fire in Kyiv continues. A cloud of smoke in the sky for tens of kilometers. It feels like a huge oil refinery is on fire.

In the meantime, debate continues about whether sanctions against Russian missile production are effective, Kyiv is under another major missile attack by the Russians. According to preliminary data, 11 Kinzhal-type missiles were launched. From my window I watch over Kiev a gigantic column of smoke from a huge fire

Happy New Year everyone. Looks like there were festive fireworks in Donetsk on New Year's Eve
