So much has happened since President Trump took office again that it can be hard to keep track of it all. New York Times reporters reflected on Trump’s most consequential actions in his first year back in the White House.

De grootste industriële bedrijven van Rusland (het agressieve buurland van Oekraïne) beleven qua verkoop de slechtste omstandigheden sinds 1998, toen Rusland failliet ging.

De groei van het Russische bbp is vrijwel tot nul gedaald, terwijl de industrie in een recessie is beland.
Big business in Russia reports most severe industrial crisis since the 1990s
Tougher sanctions, higher interest rates on loans and a sharp economic slowdown have pushed Russian industry to the brink of its deepest crisis.

Kerst in Tjsernihiv vandaag.
For the second day in a row, Russians have been attacking Chernihiv. A Russian drone hit a five-story residential building, causing a fire to break out.

COMMENTARY: Last week, EU leaders agreed to jointly borrow €90 billion to fund a loan to Kyiv instead of using frozen Russian assets.

The Belgian PM called it a “victory for Ukraine … and a victory for the EU.”

That’s not how Putin will see it.

J. D. Vance has “clearly made the calculation that anti-Semites are part of the Republican Party’s base, and he can’t afford to shunt them to the side as he plots his own presidential bid,” Franklin Foer argues.

American social media platforms are banned in Russia. Have you noticed Donald isn't sanctioning anyone over that?

Is Putin losing his grip as gap between propaganda and reality widens?! Repression still works, the police state functions, propaganda machine runs. The economic situation is worsening, but perpetuating his political circus is paid for in Ukrainian blood.

For some bizarre reason, some in Britain still don't think Putin is a threat

I have written about looking at the world through Putin's eyes to understand how much he hates us, and if we don't, we are sitting ducks

Merry Christmas

Dagelijkse analyse @thestudyofwar.bsky.social:

▪️ De Russische terreinwinst zal waarschijnlijk beperkt blijven tot een traag wandeltempo;

▪️ Een plotselinge Russische doorbraak op operationeel niveau blijft onwaarschijnlijk.
