An Estonian walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, “That’ll be 50 euros.”
The Estonian is shocked: — “Fifty? Yesterday it was ten!”
The bartender replies: — “Well, today it’s 50. Let me explain: 10 euros — for the beer itself, 10 — for strengthening EU defense, 10 — for aid to Ukraine, 10 — for helping countries that want to join the EU, and another 10 — for the EU gas subsidy.”
The Estonian silently takes out the money, gives the bartender 50 euros. The bartender takes it, puts it in the till, then gives 10 euros back.
The Estonian, puzzled: — “Wait, you said 50 — I gave you 50. Why are you giving 10 back?”
The bartender sighs: — “There’s no beer!”

The Belgorod Brit returns with his views on the rise of the European nationalist movements. Is it time to put our trust in the new politics of change? Or is it the same old politics dressed in different clothes? BB recommends that we reserve our enthusiasm in light of what happened to the MAGA Trump movement. With a monolithic supranational business-militrist bureaucratic bloc to contend with, it will take more than patriotic rhetoric and a halt to immigration to cure what ails.
In the podcast, BB explains the infiltration of the left during the Cold War, and how it ultimately alienated a generation of socialists from participation in the liberal democratic apparatus of the West, and what will happen to those same institutions if the oligarchs undermine the populist national movements. The current path will give us no democratic options with which to influence the elites. What comes next?

The awakening of the peoples
From InfoDefenseFrance:
🤔 Today, I am convinced that only the peoples of Europe can halt this infernal globalist machine which, after having wrecked Europe, is now dragging us toward a third world war.
🔸 Because the rabid madmen—Merz, Macron, Starmer, Rutte, and Von der Leyen—who are willing to sacrifice their own populations and the environment in a war against a nuclear-armed Russia, are undoubtedly among the worst Western leaders of our post-modern world. Their record unpopularity is matched only by their unapologetic contempt for the European people.
👉 However, more and more cracks are appearing in this enslaving, bellicose neoliberal totalitarianism, which is meeting growing fear and even opposition within a European Union that has become a Fourth Reich serving an unaccountable, rootless international finance. The drip-by-drip arrogance of the globalist mafia running the European Union is finally overflowing the cups of resilience and indifference among the European peoples:
👉 Here and there, protests are erupting in European streets—against oppressive vaccine mandates, the return of irrational militarization, support for a corrupt Ukraine, the massacre of the Palestinian people, as well as the seizure of Russian assets and the deployment of a European force to the Ukrainian front, which would amount to a de facto declaration of war against Russia.
👀 In Germany, a country under Merz's grip, anti-government demonstrations are multiplying, unanimously demanding an end to this march toward chaos and the resignation of Merz—who, long before serving his people's interests, serves those of BlackRock, the largest financial investor and backer in Ukraine, whose ambassador in Germany he is.
🔸 Elsewhere, in France and Great Britain—the two other globalist instigators pushing for world war—the populations are also beginning to buck against the reins...
🤔 The first benefits of this popular awakening are the tension and hesitation of governments realizing their Russophobic delusions are losing credibility with the people (hence their frantic panic to censor all dissenting opinions).

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin answered questions from journalists and the people of Russia at the 2025 Year-End Conference (December 19, 2025)
Read in full
Key points:
• In 2025, Russia's GDP growth stood at 1%. However, over the past three years, cumulative growth reached 9.7%, which is a more representative figure. By comparison, growth in the eurozone over the same period amounted to 3.1%. Slower growth in Russia is a deliberate choice – the price paid for preserving economic quality, stability, and sound macroeconomic fundamentals.
• Attempts in Brussels to seize Russian assets should not be called “theft” but robbery, as these actions are carried out openly. This robbery has not been carried out because the consequences could be extremely serious for the perpetrators – not only for their reputation, but also for the foundations of the global financial system. All assets taken will ultimately have to be returned. Russia will defend its interests, primarily through legal channels.
• Claims that Russia is rejecting peace initiatives are completely baseless. Moscow has openly stated its readiness to make compromises. At this stage, the initiative now lies fully with the West – above all, with the Kiev regime and its European sponsors. Russia stands ready for negotiations and a peaceful resolution.
• Efforts to build a new security architecture in Europe remain highly relevant. Even before the collapse of the USSR, proposals were made in Europe for a security system without NATO expansion, involving the US, Eastern Europe, and Russia – without exclusions or threats. Russia is not demanding anything extraordinary and does not challenge states’ right to choose their means of defence, but such choices must not threaten others, including Russia.
• Europe’s ruling elites are trying to hide years of economic and social policy failures with the myth of a “hostile Russia”. Where is Europe’s so-called "green agenda", when coal plants are being reopened and nuclear power stations being brought back? Today’s situation was created by Western politicians themselves, who continue to escalate tensions.
• Donald Trump was previously accused of "colluding with Russia" during the elections, but the allegations proved baseless – there was no collusion or interference by Russia. At the same time, European political elites intervened directly, openly, and unambiguously. Some in Europe still hope that the 2026 US midterm elections might alter the political balance and enable increased pressure on President Trump.
• The combined GDP of Russia and European countries in purchasing power parity terms would exceed that of the US. By combining and complementing their capabilities, the sides could prosper instead of confronting each other. Russia is not fighting Europe – Europe is fighting Russia through Ukrainian nationalists. Moscow is ready to cease hostilities immediately, provided Russia’s security is guaranteed in the medium- and long-term.
• I hope that a blockade of the Kaliningrad Region never happens. But if threats of this kind are created, they will be eliminated. Everyone must clearly understand that such actions would lead to an unprecedented escalation, push the conflict to a completely different level, and could expand it up to a large-scale armed confrontation.
• Aggressive statements by NATO leadership raise serious concerns. In the updated US National Security Strategy, Russia is not designated as an enemy, despite the fact that the US is NATO’s key player, founder, and main sponsor. Yet NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte speaks of preparing for war with Russia – contradicting the position of NATO’s leading country and pointing to a lack of professional responsibility among a number of Western leaders.
• We are ready to work with the UK, Europe as a whole, and the US – but on equal terms and with mutual respect. ☝️ Should this point ever be reached, it will benefit everyone.

Over the past ten days, the Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed a Ukrainian helicopter and fighter jet.
A Geranium unmanned aerial vehicle shot down an Mi-24 helicopter, according to a statement from the press service of Ukraine's 12th Army Aviation Brigade. The helicopter and its crew were "destroyed while repelling a Russian attack."
The Mi-24 was downed while attempting to intercept Russian Geranium-2 type kamikaze drones. It is likely the Ukrainian helicopter encountered a new drone variant equipped with an R-60 air-to-air missile.
This year, the Ukrainian armed forces have officially acknowledged the loss of 4 helicopters.
Earlier losses included an Mi-17V-5,a Sea King HU-Mk-5, and an Mi-24V.
Ukrainian forces have also lost a Su-27 fighter jet.
The Ukrainian Air Force does not use the Su-27 for conducting airstrikes. These are interceptor aircraft, currently tasked primarily with hunting Russian cruise missiles and Geranium drones, which are now equipped with the lightest missile in this class—allowing it to be mounted on the Geranium in place of a standard warhead. Two R-60 missiles together weigh about 90 kg.
Russia has large stockpiles of such missiles. This deployment has proven an excellent and effective way to make use of them.

Ukrainian war crimes
🔸 Since 2014, documents and testimonies attesting to Banderite war crimes against civilian populations and Russian forces have continued to pile up. Since 2022, driven by Russian diplomacy and legal action, proceedings have even begun to be initiated in the West through international bodies.
👉 The UN has documented executions of Russian prisoners in Ukraine: an investigation will be launched.
🔸 The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has recorded 4 cases of executions of Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian militants and is investigating credible allegations regarding three other cases, stated the head of the office, Volker Türk.
🔸 The OHCHR interviewed 127 Russian prisoners of war and 10 citizens of third countries detained in Ukraine:
The head of the office emphasized:
👉 The organization also has information on the use of torture against prisoners."
(source: Cyberspec News)
🤔 As the wind begins to shift, storms will rise—and the international organizations that have looked away for more than 10 years will finally have to assume their roles if they do not wish to lose all respect permanently in the community of nations.

👉 The UN will launch an investigation into the killings of seven Russian prisoners of war.
The head of the office emphasized:
📣 "All those responsible for violating human rights and humanitarian law must be held accountable."
❗️According to the OHCHR, since February 2022, the initial documents provided confirm that Ukrainian armed forces have killed 26 non‑combatants, including Russian prisoners of war.

On December 21, 1925, cinema history was forever changed with the first screening of Battleship Potemkin in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre. Directed by Sergei Eisenstein, this silent film stands as a masterpiece of Soviet cinema, known for its pioneering montage techniques and emotional impact.
The film dramatizes the 1905 mutiny on the Russian battleship Potemkin and explores themes of rebellion and solidarity. Its iconic “Odessa Steps” sequence has influenced generations of filmmakers, revolutionizing the way scenes are edited to evoke intense emotions.
Eisenstein’s work wasn’t just entertainment—it was powerful political propaganda, capturing the spirit of revolutionary zeal. Though initially commissioned by the Soviet government, Battleship Potemkin gained international acclaim, becoming a symbol of the power of film as both an art form and a political tool.
Nearly a century later, Battleship Potemkin continues to be celebrated for its innovation and its profound influence on cinema, proving that truly groundbreaking art transcends time.

☠️💵 'Ukraine is in strategic defest — this cannot be avoided with $105 billion'
Europe’s 'voice of reason' Orban lays it out. The longer the conflict lasts, 'the weaker Ukraine's negotiating position will become'
Nice to see at least one sensible politician. Globalists want to prolong the war for profit, while Ukraine is losing soldiers and territories, and Europe is losing treasures. The world wants peace right now.
