So here's my favorite Christmas song, which I love to share every Christmas, and as they say, "Christmas comes but once a year", unless you're Russian Orthodox, like me, in which case, it comes twice. This Christmas song is "different", (also like me) being an anti-war, anti-conscription song, that just happens to tell the tale of a couple of Irish lads who meet the recruiters on Christmas morning, back a couple of hundred years ago. But somehow still relevant today, especially if you live in Ukraine. So, Merry Christmas, enjoy‼️

Latest updates from Donetsk/Donbass by Oleg Tsarev in English -
"Today, 6 civilians were again injured in Donetsk, all of them suffered from ammunition dropped from drones. Drone pilots are sitting somewhere and purposefully targeting civilians. Also, Ukrainian drones are being shot down over different regions of Russia all day long. Today, details were released about yesterday's missile shot down over the Sea of Azov. It turned out that Ukraine again tried to attack the Crimean bridge with an ATACMS missile.
The Russian Aerospace Forces, in turn, carried out strikes on military targets in Ukraine that night. In the village of Rovnoye near Mirnograd, part of the DPR, still controlled by Kyiv, Iskander struck the Europe Hotel. According to preliminary information, the target was a meeting of Ukrainian Armed Forces and NATO officers. Although I do not rule out that NATO was credited with adding brightness to this news. Ukrainian state security officers worked at the scene of the incident and did not allow filming, so the news became known with a delay.
I won’t summarize today’s results. I feel immensely sorry for our guys, and I sincerely express my condolences to the families of the fallen military pilots. The military will figure out what the mistake was. But this event is an important reminder to all of us that the enemy is quite technically equipped and will not miss his chance. This is about the question of “almost victory” and “almost surrender” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."

🇺🇲🇾🇪 The US is concerned that Houthi-led Yemen will attack or even sink American ships, according to US officials who spoke to The New York Times. They fear that the war that could break out again between the Gulf states and the Houthis if the US reacts to it will have more serious consequences. For this reason, they abandoned attempts to directly attack the Houthis.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahian also said the US has requested assistance in combating the Houthi attacks. Iran said it could not help because the United States was a party to the war. After the collapse of the anti-Houthi coalition, it turned out that the United States feared that the Houthis would sink their ships, and then they had to ask Iran for help.
The Houthis managed to inflict one of the biggest strategic and tactical defeats on the US this century without even hitting them directly with a handful of missiles and drones.

"We have just received this statement from the head of the national negotiating delegation, Mohammed Abdul Salam: While a reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the Yemeni Navy was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the Red Sea, an American warship opened fire in a hysterical manner with multiple weapons, indicating a state of confusion and concern. One of the rockets exploded near a ship bound for the Republic of Gabon, coming from Russian ports.
We affirm that the threat to international maritime navigation is due to the militarization of the Red Sea by America and its partners who come to the region without any legitimate reason other than providing security services to the ships of the Israeli enemy.
The Red Sea will become a burning battlefield if America and its allies continue with their thuggery. The countries along the Red Sea should realize the reality of the risks that threaten their national security."

⭕️ "We have just received this statement from the member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: American warships target commercial ships under the pretext of shooting down a reconnaissance plane at sea. They are fighting ghosts and threatening international navigation foolishly, to prove their responsiveness by protecting Israeli ships, allowing the occupying Israeli entity to continue committing crimes and massacres against the people of Gaza without hindrance.
The optimal solution is for these warships to return to American regional waters to defend America's interests in controlling other disputed areas with some perennially influential countries in the Security Council, instead of plummeting into failed adventures to fight ghosts and windmills in the Red Sea."

— Imam Ali about the messenger, Jesus Christ, in sermon 160 of Nahjul Balagha:
'If you desire, I will tell you about Jesus, Son of Mary.
He used a stone for his pillow, put on coarse clothes and ate rough food.
His condiment was hunger. His lamp at night was the moon.
His shade during the winter was nothing but the expanse of the earth eastward and westward.
His fruits and flowers were only what grows from the earth for the cattle.
He had no wife to allure him, nor any son to give grief, nor wealth to deviate his attention, nor greed to disgrace him.
His two feet were his conveyance and his two hands his servant.'

"To see Deir Mimas in Lebanon and religious sites being bombed on Christmas
Eve is undeniably inhuman, and profoundly disheartening…
Christmas in southern regions isn’t the same as before. To our people, enduring every day and trying to hold it all together or grieving a loss during the holidays, know we are with you. Your pain is our pain."
"Israelis bomb a 600-year-old monastery in Lebanon on Christmas eve.
Their barbarism knows no limits."
