This was seriously educating, I've read and studied the Ukraine Revolution and Russia's response, but he goes back to Clinton's time and all the presidents through Obama, explaining the defensive actions of Russia, and how it linked in to this day. The history is profoundly disturbing on what the West has done to Russia going back into the 1990's. It's surprising that Russia does't hate the West and America thoroughly.

Both Putin and Lavrov states they don't hate the people of these countries, and don't blame us for the leaders, that tortured and killed Russia and Russian people for a very long time, both in Ukraine and Russia's territories.. As a matter of fact Putin tried very hard to have good relations with America and all the Presidents since 1991-2.

THE NATIONAL PULSE

Happy Christmas – The Light Shines in the Darkness, and the Darkness Has Not Overcome It.

Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, is one of the most significant religious occasions in the Christian calendar. It reminds the faithful of the divine mystery of God incarnate. Beyond the glitter of commercialized festivities,Christmas marks the profound story of salvation—when the eternal Word became flesh to dwell among humanity.

At its core, Christmas is a celebration of light piercing the darkness. The Gospel of John proclaims, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” This eternal truth reverberates in churches across the world as candles are lit during midnight services, symbolizing hope and redemption brought by Christ’s arrival.

The nativity scene, displayed in homes and public squares, serves as a visual representation of humility and faith. Mary and Joseph, kneeling in adoration before the Christ child, exemplify obedience to God’s will.

The shepherds, summoned by angels, remind believers that the message of salvation is for all—rich and poor alike. The Magi, with their precious gifts, highlight Christ’s kingship and his universal mission to the nations.

Christmas hymns and carols, many rooted in centuries-old traditions, echo the story of the Savior’s birth. “O Holy Night” exalts the arrival of the Redeemer, declaring, “Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices.” Meanwhile, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” underscores the theological depth of the occasion: “Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.”

The Advent season preceding Christmas invites the faithful to prepare their hearts through prayer, reflection, and acts of charity. Many Christian communities observe traditions like lighting Advent wreaths, reading Scripture, and giving generously to those in need, embodying Christ’s teachings to care for the least among us.

In an age where the sacred meaning of Christmas is often overshadowed by secular trappings, the holiday remains a powerful reminder of God’s love. The birth of Jesus Christ transcends time and culture, offering hope to a world yearning for peace. It challenges believers to embody the virtues of faith, hope, and charity in their daily lives, living as witnesses to the message proclaimed by the angels: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

This Christmas, as bells ring and choirs sing, may the faithful recommit to the spiritual essence of the season: celebrating the miracle of the Word made flesh and the promise of eternal life.

(Raheem is English this is based on how England for centuries, celebrated a day or two early from the Christmas season, with a special affection and work to the Advent Season and following it religiously, to help the needy and poor.)

‘No winners in nuclear war’ – Lavrov

Moscow’s patience is not limitless when it comes to its national interests, the foreign minister has said

Moscow is convinced that a nuclear conflict cannot be won and should not be launched under any circumstances,Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the ‘60 Minutes’TV show on Wednesday.That does not mean that anyone can test Russia’s patience, the minister warned, adding that his country would not hesitate to defend its interests with all available means.

Russia has “never started a discussion on… whether nuclear arms can be used,” the minister said.Moscow wants nuclear powers to once again officially acknowledge “there can be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be triggered” – something that US President Ronald Reagan and the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev did in the 1980s, according to Lavrov.

Russia first put forward a corresponding initiative during talks between President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden and then presented it to the five permanent UN Security Council members in 2021.

All statementsthat “consideredvarious scenarios of a nuclear war possible” came solely from Western capitals, the minister said. He particularly referred to the recent statements of US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) spokesman Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan. Last month, theadmiral said Washington was ready to launch nuclear strikes but would only do so “on terms that are most acceptable to the US.” (WTF is wrong with them)

According to Lavrov,Russia requested that the US clarify those statements but did not receive any “reasonable” answers. Moscow has no intention of “turning up the heat” on the issue of the use of nuclear weapons or its consequences and would gladly do anything to save people in the West the trouble of building nuclear bunkers, he said.

Russia’s use of its state-of-the-art nuclear-capable Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile system against a target in Ukraine led to a fourfold increase in the number of Americans looking for nuclear bunkers, the CEO of a Texas-based survival shelter company claimed in mid-December. The missile used in the strike was equipped with conventional warheads.

“We are firmly sticking to a position that there can be no winners in a nuclear war,” he said. The minister still cautioned Russia’s adversaries against provoking Moscow into taking drastic steps to protect its interests.

“I would advise anyone against testing our patience, our determination to defend our legitimate national interests with all means available,” Lavrov said.“They that have ears to hear, let them hear; they that have brains to understand, let them understand.”

Speaking at a meeting of top Russian Defense Ministry officials last week, Putin stated that the West’s active militarysupport to Ukraine was pushing Russia to the point where it could not help but retaliate. The president accused Washington of trying “to weaken our country and inflict a strategic defeat” on Moscow by pumping Ukraine full of money and weapons.

Lavrov outlines Moscow’s demands for resolving Ukraine conflict

Russia is seeking the fulfilment of past obligations from Kiev and the West, the foreign minister has said

Kiev and its Western backers have a backlog of unfulfilled promises to Moscow, which they must deliver on in order to end the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview on Wednesday.

Russia's top diplomat reiterated thatMoscow is willing to resolve the crisis through negotiations, but that it “needs to see serious specific proposals”for any meaningful progress, he told the ‘60 minutes’ program on Russian television.

He rejected the claim that the Russian government has preconditions for talks, saying that what President Vladimir Putin stated on multiple occasions was in essence a demand to deliver on past promises.

Lavrov mentionedassurances that NATO would not expand in Europethat were made to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev,the 2014 power-sharing agreementbetween then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and the people behind the armed coup in Kiev,and the Minsk agreements on peaceful reintegration of Donbassas examples of broken promises.

The minister also accused Kiev of violating its international obligations to respect the rights of its citizens, who consider the Russian language and culture to be part of their identity.Not adopting discriminatory domestic politics is part of “a bare minimum of what any normal member of the international community must do,”he said.

Kiev “has declared the eradication of everything Russian pretty much its main goal” and cannot purport to represent people living in Russian regions, which Ukraine claims under its sovereignty, Lavrov stressed.

The Ukrainian government has turned the country into a Western tool used to “remove a strong competitor in the Russian Federation from the international stage,” the diplomat stated, asserting that the West’s general policy is to remove any competition.

Moscow will not accept a ceasefire that would allow Kiev to regroup its army and renew attempts “to inflict a strategic defeaton Russia on the order of its masters,” Lavrov said.

Moscow is seeking “reliable, judicially binding agreements, which would remove the core causes of this conflict,” including the threat from NATO, he stressed.

Russia has “no illusion” that the election of Donald Trumpas the next US president would lead to a radical change of policy in Washington, Lavrov added. Trump has said he believes ending the hostilities in Ukraine as soon as possible would be in the interests of all parties involved.

Ukraine could attack Russia unless it joins NATO – former Ukrainian FM

Membership in the bloc would be what restrained Kiev from later taking “revenge,” according to (Big Fat Crybaby) Dmitry Kuleba

NATO membership for Ukraine is the only way to stop the country from waging war against Russia in the future, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has said. In a lengthy interview with the Kiev Independent published on Tuesday, Kuleba warned not to “underestimate” Kiev’s potential for “revanchist policies.”

Kulebastepped down as Kiev’s chief diplomat earlier this year during a large-scale purge of senior officials by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, andtook up a position at a Harvard-based international relations research center.

Before his resignation, he repeatedly warned that NATO’s unwillingness to accept Ukraineinto its ranks significantly hinders the possibility of quickly finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Russia.

Moscow opposes Ukraine’s membership in the US-led bloc, considering it a fundamental threat to Russia’s national security. Kiev’s official refusal to seek NATO membership and its neutrality are among Moscow’s key conditions for starting peace negotiations.

In his latest interview, Kuleba noted that whilein the short-term the sides could reach a ceasefire without NATO membership for Ukraine, it “will not mean the end of the war and will not prevent the next war.” By the “next war” he meant two possibilities, the first of which is Russia attacking the US-led bloc, the prospect of whichMoscow has repeatedly refuted as nonsense.

“If whatever we know of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is true, he will attack NATO only if he defeats Ukraine. If Ukraine comes out of this fight as a winning power and joins NATO,the combined military force of the alliance against Russia will be invincible,” he stated.

The second possibility he outlined is Ukraine attacking Russia out of “revenge” for the current conflictand to seize back the former Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye and Crimea that joined Russia.

“Ukraine’s potential for revanchist policiestowards Russia in the medium termshould not be underestimated and written off," Kuleba warned.

“The next generation of Ukrainian politicians will be focused entirely on the recovery of Ukraine after the war, but the generation after them will come to power on the slogans of revenge, on revanchist slogans towards Russia [such as] ‘retake territories!,’ ‘make Russia finally pay!,’”he added.Kuleba noted that such policies would come into focus “the moment” Ukraine “gets on its feet economically.”(They are broke for decades, they hardly own the land, they sold it to the west)

“Ukrainian membership in NATO is the only way to prevent the next war… to hold [Ukraine] back from waging a war on Russia… to make it bound by legal obligations to not expose its allies to the risk of war with Russia,” he claimed.

Moscow maintains that any peace settlement with Kiev must begin with Ukraine ceasing military operations and acknowledging the “territorial reality” that it will never regain control of its former regions.

(https://www.rt.com/russia/609921-ukraine-attack-russia-nato/

First of all this is stupidest thing I've from this jackass ever, do they think they can blackmail NATO or assuage the Kremlin. Certainly not brilliant thinkers over there:

#1. The Kremlin requires Ukraine from never joining NATO for 30 years.

#2. NATO basically has declared war on Russia and are willing to do it anytime. Adding Ukraine would be asking the retard of the family to join.

#3. Ukraine will never be invited, they've had mandates for two decades to clean up the corruption of the country, etc. They've never tried.

#4. If Ukraine is a NATO country they think this will end the war on their terms, this is not a negotiation to only be in NATO but to make Russia vulnerable to all of NATO

#5. It seems like they are trying hard to get this done before Trump is President.

#6. Ukraine has already lost the war and millions of people. Are they admitting they have always been terrorists and willing to sacrifice more citizens?

#7. So he is threatening the West, NATO, America and President Trump. Based on that they will try to hurt all his allies countries if they don't get their way.

Kiev can’t build nuclear weapons without West – Moscow

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has put Ukraine’s sponsors on notice

Ukraine lacks the capability to develop nuclear weapons on its own and could only obtain them with help from the West, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, Zakharova addressedstatements by Western officials and media outlets about Kiev having a nuclear deterrent.

“The Kiev regime can’t create nuclear weapons in a few weeks on its own. This is a fact,”Zakharova said, adding thatthe only way for Ukraine to achieve thiswould be “to receive important components from the outside, from other states.”

Ukraine should “sort out the heating season rather than seek nuclear weapons,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added.

The current government in Kiev has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine “gave up” nuclear weapons in 1994 in exchange for security assurances from both Russia and the US. VladimirZelensky has accused Moscow of violating the ‘Budapest Memorandum’ and claimed that Kiev therefore has the right to acquire nuclear weapons.

Russia has pointed out that Ukraine never had any nuclear weapons to begin with. The memorandum involved Soviet assets that legally belonged to Moscow, while it was the US that trampled on the 1994 deal by sponsoring the Maidan coup in Kiev in 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

In early October, German outlet Bild reportedthat Ukraine was ready to go nuclear, citing an unnamed weapons procurement official.

“We have the material, we have the knowledge. If the order is given, we will only need a few weeks to have the first bomb,” the official was quoted as saying earlier this year, adding that the West should “think less about Russia’s red lines and more about ours.”

Kiev quickly denied Bild’s claims, however, calling it “nonsense”and suggesting that the consistently pro-Ukrainian outlet was in fact publishing “Russian propaganda.”

Last month, however, the Washington Post cited anonymous US officials as speculating that the White House“could allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons again.” President Joe Biden’s national security adviser,Jake Sullivan, officially denied the reports.

This was very interesting, Glen talked about how stupidBidan was to allow Kiev to launch missilesand bombs deep inside of Russia.

Scott had found out by his research, it wasn't Bidan, or even military that allowed it,he said Jake Sullivan said NO, and Antony Blinken overrode Jake's decision and gave Kiev the go ahead.

So these two are running the country, at least when it comes to war. So they are acting CiC's

Trump aims dig at Obama in bizarre hour-long Christmas Day Truth Social posting spree

(What you call bizarre we call wise and hilarious)

Rhian Lubin Dec 25, 2024 at 3:50 PM

Donald Trump made a dig at former president Barack Obama as he went on a Christmas Day Truth Socialposting spree.

The president-elect initially seemed to adopt a toned-down festive message, simply posting, “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!” on Truth Social on Wednesday morning.

In the afternoon, however, he shared a lengthy post where he wished “Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics,” but refused the same sentiment to the “37 most violent criminals” pardoned by Joe Biden, instead telling them to “GO TO HELL.”

On Christmas morningTrump reeled off 34 posts on his social media platform within a one-hour period, including a meme mocking Obama.

The meme featured a photo of the president-elect smirking atObama during his 2017 inauguration, along with the caption: “When you see the guy who said ‘you’ll never be president’ at your inauguration.”

Trump also shared a new holiday photo with the incoming first lady Melania wearing a white glittering dress, captioned “Merry Christmas 2024.”

Other shared posts by the Trump on Christmas Day consisted mostly of favorable headlines about him and his cabinet, including a Wall Street Journal op-ed titled“Kash Patel is right for the FBI.”

He also shared a number of articles in favor of Pete Hegseth, his choice for defense secretary.

“All we are saying is: Give Pete a chance,” one headline by conservative news outlet the Daily Signal was titled.

Last year Trump delivered a scathing Christmas message to President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Jack Smith where he wrote: “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

Other members of the Trump family and MAGAworld used the festive occasion to show their support for the president-elect and his agenda.

Donald Trump Jr shared an AI-generated meme of Trump dressed as Father Christmas at the border titled:“He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, we’re gonna find out who’s getting deported by ICE…”

Meanwhile, GOP senator Tommy Tuberville was mocked for claiming that Trump has brought Christmas “back in America.” (Mocked by leftists)

The Trump loyalist posted the festive message on social media platform X on Christmas Eve.“Thanks to President Trump, Christmas is back in America,”Tuberville said.

Marjorie Taylor Greene shared an array of messages over the holiday period varying from the more traditional photo in front of a Christmas tree, to a plea to join her in prayer this Sunday “to end abortion in America.”

Her holiday photo in front of the Christmas tree came hot on the heels of a meme she shared titled “amount of people eligible to be mass deported.”

NEW: Former Kamala fundraiser loses it, rips Harris for wasting her money on "oligarch" and billionaire Oprah Winfrey.

Lindy Li has left the Democratic Party after they lit her money "on fire."

Li said she was treated better by the Trump team than the Harris team who "bribed" people like Al Sharpton with her money.

"They essentially set $2.5 billion on fire… We still haven't gotten any answers as to why Oprah, a billionaire, got $2.5 million through her production company."

"Then they spent $500,000 essentially bribing Al Sharpton moments before he interviewed her. And this is our hard-earned money. This is the money that I worked so hard to raise."
