For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

Putin’s Frontline Is COLLAPSING…​

Russia’s grand summer offensive was meant to be the turning point in the war — but instead, it’s become a catastrophic failure. Despite throwing everything at Ukraine, Moscow’s forces have made almost no meaningful gains while suffering staggering losses, with nearly five Russian troops killed for every Ukrainian. As Putin’s front line collapses and his economy falters, even his closest allies are beginning to doubt him. But could the worst still be yet to come?

A bit outdated…

The narrator was talking about DonOld possibly sending Tomahawks to Ukraine (like that was EVER going to happen…)





We. Told. Them. So.

Trump - Zelensky Situation is worse than Expected | Trump Pushes Ukraine for Capitulation​

Pathetic to see a US President siding with Putin. Even more pathetic to see Witkoff representing the USA.
All the previous statements about Ukraine are just smoke hiding the fact that Trump wants to force Ukraine to capitulate
Russia has been trying to destroy Ukraine for 4 years and has failed

Trump 'angrily shouting and cursing' in an all over the place meeting with Zelensky​

"What we're seeing perhaps is frustration that this is not going his way."

Tump echoes Russian talking points in an allegedly heated meeting with Zelensky. A "fantastic change of tone" from the last couple of months, says The Times's David Charter.

Zelenskyy PUNCHES BACK after Trump SCREAMS AT HIM in OVAL OFFICE​

President Zelenskyy responding with force to Donald Trump’s ultimate betrayal after Trump tried to yell and scream and curse at him at a closed door meeting at the White House.

Apparently Trump echoed Putin's talking points again and agan, threw Ukraine's maps f the frontlines around and showed Putin's maps, screamed and yelled - " a shouting match with Reump curing the whole time"

Zelensky told Trump he didn't understand the dynamics of the war and told Trump he was the problem...

M1117 armored personnel carriers in the 110th brigade

Air conditioning in the summer, heating in the winter, and most importantly, powerful armor.

The fighters of the 110th mechanized brigade named after Brigadier General Mark Bezruchko showed their armored personnel carrier manufactured by the American company Cadillac, or rather, its military unit.

The M1117 was developed for the American military police; it was also used to protect convoys and bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the fighters, the vehicle has quite powerful armor, so it is often used to cover infantry. The M1117 is fast and maneuverable, so to check it out, Senior Lieutenant Solomiya Reznik got behind the wheel of a combat Cadillac.

Europe threatens Putin after Zelensky's disastrous meeting with Trump​

Europe's statement offers a "more tangible threat" to seize Russian assets but it's "all come a bit slowly", says fromer Conservative leader William Hague.
Hague is the former leader of the UK's Conservative Party. Quite a sensible guy.

Ben Hodges: Ukraine is Completely Ruining Russia’s War Economy​

Ukraine’s attacks on Russia’s oil exports aren’t just precision strikes — they’re dismantling the arteries of Moscow’s war economy. What looks like isolated drone hits is, in truth, a calculated campaign aimed at choking off the Kremlin’s ability to fund its aggression.

Behind the headlines, Russia’s export machine is faltering. Tankers in the Baltic face rising risks, refineries burn, and the so-called shadow fleet sails under mounting pressure. China and India keep buying — but on their own terms — while Europe debates and delays. The result is a Russia bleeding cash, time, and options.

And yet, Western hesitation threatens to blunt Ukraine’s momentum. As retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges argues, NATO must stop thinking defensively and start shaping the fight: strike logistics, close the loopholes, and impose real costs on Moscow’s operations across Europe’s skies and seas.

Putin’s Regime Shakes​

Putin’s regime is entering its most unstable phase in decades. New Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled key parts of Russia’s energy network and exposed the weakness of its war economy. Fires tore through Gazprom’s Orenburg gas plant, one of Russia’s largest, after a precision strike that halted gas intake from Kazakhstan. In Samara, explosions at the Novokuybyshevsk refinery disrupted production that fuels the Russian army. Satellite images confirm that 73 percent of Crimea’s Feodosia oil terminal is destroyed, severing a major supply route to occupied territories.

The damage extends far beyond the battlefield. Power substations feeding Moscow and central industrial regions have been repeatedly hit, threatening cascading blackouts. The Kremlin is quietly raising taxes, slashing enlistment payments, and admitting shortfalls in regional budgets. Inflation is rising, housing starts are collapsing, and consumer spending is plunging.

Abroad, pressure mounts. The IMF cut Russia’s 2025 growth forecast to 0.6 percent. The coal industry has reported losses exceeding 225 billion rubles this year. EU and US sanctions are expanding, targeting energy and finance, while unrest spreads through the regions.

Ukraine’s precision strikes are dismantling the pillars of Putin’s system. The energy grid, the economy, and the illusion of control are all breaking at once.

Zelensky to Trump: Russia Gets ZERO for Its Crimes. ZERO.

President TACO told Zelensky to give Russia the eastern Donbas and capitulate. Putin managed to fill Trump's head with nonsense. Trumps just buying what Putin's telling him. Or following Putin's instructions.
In Friday's meeting, the meeting apparently repeatedly escalated into shouting as Trump curzsed and tossed aside maps of the frontline. Trump reportedly told Zelensky he never had any plans to approve the Tomahawks. In other words, TACO has been bullshitting and stringing Zelensky along. The Economist's assessment is that Putin will be unable to win the war on the battlefield, and I'd take the veracity of anything The Economist says on this topic over TACO's. It seems Trump was making nice about Ukraine to entice Putin to a meeting, which was agreed on, but bet your bucks Putin will stall.
Putin seems to think time is on Russia's side, while Ukraine now thinks that time ison theor side (likely correctly as it would seem Putin is being fed what he wants to hear but his own military and inteligence - the same mistake that led him to invade Ukraine in the first place).

In one of his strongest public statements yet, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a direct message to Donald Trump: Russia must get nothing for its crimes in Ukraine. Speaking about the war’s future and Western unity, Zelensky made it clear that rewarding Vladimir Putin for launching an illegal invasion, committing war crimes, and attempting to destroy a sovereign nation would be a catastrophic mistake.

Zelensky’s warning comes as some voices in U.S. politics hint at possible concessions or peace deals if Trump returns to the White House. But Ukraine’s president is drawing a firm line: no rewards for aggression, no payoffs for war crimes, and no concessions for occupation. Russia has bombed cities, targeted civilians, kidnapped children, and devastated infrastructure — and for that, Zelensky says, they must face accountability, not negotiation.

This video breaks down the significance of Zelensky’s message — why it matters now, how it shapes future U.S.-Ukraine relations, and what it signals about the next phase of the Russia-Ukraine war. We’ll explore how accountability, justice, and strategic deterrence are central to Ukraine’s position, and why any compromise risks emboldening the Kremlin for future aggression.

The Massive Impact of Nordic Weapons in Ukraine​

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland aren’t just peaceful neighbors, they’re arming, training, and co-producing with Ukraine at scale. In this update, we breaks down the Nordic kit hurting Russia now: Stridsvagn 122 tanks, CV90 IFVs, Patria APCs, NASAMS, Tridon Mk2 and RBS-70 air defense, Heidrun and Black Hornet drones, and the Saab Argus AEW&C pairing with F-16s.

We also cover the industrial shift from donations to co-production—from CV90s and shells to maritime drones and Danish solid-propellant lines—and why helping Ukraine win is the Nordics’ best defense.

Which Nordic systems are performing best (Strv 122, CV90, Archer, NASAMS, RBS-70)

Ukraine retakes ground after Putin's failure at Dobropillia​

Donetsk - Russia intensifying their armored assaults, leveraging poor weather conditions - drones are not agnostic to weather
Advances tend to be tactical - there is no hard frontline - it's porous with small - a complex tactical situation with positions mixed up and drones used for logistics
In other areas Ukrainian forces are advancing

Soviet Collapse 2.0... Putin Is LOSING CONTROL of Russia​

When Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, he expected to expand Russia’s power. Three years later, he’s failed to conquer Ukraine and faces unrest at home. Widespread war fatigue, economic collapse, and attacks on Russian infrastructure are fueling separatist movements in regions like Sakha, Altai, and Ingushetia. Indigenous and ethnic minorities are rising against the Kremlin, inspired by Ukrainian intelligence. Could this lead to Russia fracturing from within? Watch to see how Putin’s control is unraveling.

Trump-Putin Budapest meeting ruled out after Rubio-Lavrov call |​

The White House has ruled out a second meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Valdimir Putin, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov over the phone. The announcement came days after the US leader suggested a possible summit in the Hungarian capital, Budapest.

The Kremlin says it's seeking a long-term settlement for the war in Ukraine. (Russia has not changed it's position - no cewasefire, Ukranian capitulation. TACO gets fucked over by Putin again but not before he fails to provode assistance to Ukraine)

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists deep-strike capabilities are crucial in pressuring Moscow to agree to a peace process after he left the White House without securing a package for US Tomahawk missiles.

Budapest Summit cancelled? What a Surprise! A Blonnde could have seen this one coming.

Of course, Trump will "see what happens."

Russia In Chaos As Ukraine Targets The Russian Economy​

Wow, this is wild....

Russian air defenses took out a whole neigborhood near Rostov, raining dwn missiles on Rostov
Explosions at oil refineries in Hungary and Romania - guess who (seems Russia is starting sabotage attacks on European targets)
Europe can try and wish it away but Russia is now attacking them dirctly
Russia continues descending into crisis as cascading catastrophes hit on every front.
Russia’s bond markets are in turmoil, the ruble weakens again, and Western sanctions continue to bite. While Moscow blames the West, the truth is clear — the collapse is coming from within.
Six Russian regions have spent almost all of their reserves and are on the brink of budget collapse
Significant drop in tax revenues, they are going to the Federal Givt for funds, but Russian Federal Govt tax revenue is also collapsing as oil exports collapse

The Trump Administration's Foreign Policy on Ukraine is Ridiculous

It's hard to understand the Trump administration's Ukraine policy unless we assume there is none, then it all starts to make sense. We've seen the waffling in both directions, frustrations mounting that it won't just stop and zero progress has so far been made. In fact we may have hit a new low as Steve Witkoff used the 2022 referendums as evidence of why eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia.

Whooaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Sweden, Ukraine sign letter of intent for up to 150 Gripen E fighters

This is REAL - Sweden has actually done it!

Sweden and Ukraine have signed a letter of intent covering a potential sale of more than 100 Saab JAS 39 Gripen E fighters, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced during a joint appearance with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Linköping on October 22, 2025. According to Swedish broadcaster TV4, the document outlines a framework for the possible transfer of between 100 and 150 Gripen E aircraft, a figure that would make it one of the largest fighter exports in Saab’s history. Kristersson described the agreement as a step that “brings us closer to a major export deal.” Fe two leaders met for talks at Saab’s Linköping facility, where both the Gripen fighter and GlobalEye airborne surveillance aircraft are produced. Zelensky arrived at Linköping Airport, where he was received by Kristersson for the meeting.

Kristersson stated that, based on current production capacity, the first Gripen deliveries could take place within three years of a finalized contract. He emphasized, however, that the letter of intent marks only the beginning of discussions and does not yet constitute a binding sale. In September 2025, Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson emphasized that any sale of new-build Gripen E/F fighters could only occur after the end of the war with Russia, citing the political and operational risks of supplying advanced combat aircraft into an active conflict zone. Sweden had previously paused discussions about transferring Gripen jets to Ukraine to allow its partners to focus on introducing the F-16 Fighting Falcon, but continued to explore long-term cooperation with Kyiv.

Possibility of older Gripens

While the letter of intent focuses on the latest Gripen E model, Swedish media suggest that a limited number of Gripen C/D fighters, possibly around 10, could be made available earlier, depending on Sweden’s own transition schedule as it inducts the E variant into service. A mixed approach, combining immediate access to existing airframes with future deliveries of new-build aircraft, is reportedly under consideration.

Industrial and political impact

A deal exceeding 100 jets would represent a significant expansion of Saab’s production backlog. For Ukraine, the prospect of operating a large Gripen fleet would mark a significant leap in air combat capability, bringing advanced sensors, data links, and dispersed-operations performance designed for contested environments. However, the timing, financing, and scope of the deal remain open, and both governments have emphasized that further negotiations are necessary before any formal procurement can proceed.
