🇺🇸🇸🇾🇷🇺 Debra Tice Appeals Directly to Putin to Help Find Her Son in Syria

“You have profound connections with the Syrian government, which can be a great benefit for our unrelenting efforts to find our Austin and reunite our family,” wrote Debra Tice in a heartfelt letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by NBC.

Austin Tice, a US journalist, has been missing in Syria since 2012. His mother’s plea underscores the critical role Moscow plays in influencing Damascus, given Russia’s long-standing ties with the Syrian government. Despite repeated efforts over the years, there has been no confirmation of Tice’s whereabouts or condition.

Debra Tice’s approach highlights the unusual alliances and desperate measures families must turn to when Western diplomacy falters in conflict zones like Syria.

🔥When the empire’s tools fail, even its citizens must appeal to Moscow for solutions.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Lebanese PM: Israel Violates Ceasefire Deal Daily

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has accused Israel of daily violations of the 60-day ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, highlighting the ongoing suffering of the Lebanese people.

“We have suffered much and continue to suffer from Israel’s aggression,” Mikati stated. He emphasized that the consequences extend beyond civilian casualties, devastating the social and economic sectors as well as the environment. Overcoming these challenges, he noted, will require significant international assistance.

Ceasefire? Israel treats agreements like speed bumps... meant to be ignored as it bulldozes through sovereignty, dignity, and international law. For Lebanon, it’s not just about violations; it’s about enduring the endless collateral damage of a neighbor that sees aggression and illegal land grabs as policy.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️On the Situation in the Kursk Region on 18 December, the 134th Day of the Invasion⚡️

🔴 In the Border Area, heavy, protracted fighting continues:

🔴 North of #Novoivanovka, the AFU still hold territory. There is a lot of activity of Ukrainian FPV drones in this area.

🔴 Southwest of #Kremyanoye, after a breakthrough in the forests, our troops cleared a fairly large area of ​​the enemy and secured a foothold north of the #Kruglenkoye village.

🔴 The Section from #Sheptukhovka to #Pogrebki of approximately 4 km is also cleared. #Pogrebki is now approximately half-covered by our troops, the AFU are trying to fight back and counterattack.

🔴 #RusskoyePorechnoye and #CherkasskoyePorechnoye are still under AFU control, but our troops are not giving up their attempts to clear out the enemy's strongholds in the adjacent areas and get closer to the villages.

🔴 After the Liberation of #CherkasskayaKonopelka, the RFAF continue active offensive actions towards the village of #Melovoye. Also, according to some reports, our forces have already entered #Kurilovka.

🔴 In the Area of #Plekhovo, our MLRS are processing the AFU positions on the opposite side of the Psyol River. There is also an advance in the area of #Guyevo, heavy fighting is underway at the outskirts and in the surrounding forests.

🔴 Today, the head of Rosobrnadzor Anzor Muzaev arrived in #Kursk region to help solve the problem of full-time education for schoolchildren from evacuated families together with the new head of the region Alexander Khinshtein. Now the children are forced to study remotely due to a lack of places in Kursk schools. As a result, it was decided that immediately after the New Year holidays, these schoolchildren will be organised to study at Kursk universities and secondary specialised educational institutions.

🔴 In Addition, a special procedure will be adopted for graduates. Children from border areas will be able to choose for themselves this year - to take the Unified State Exam or use a special format of the state final exam. The special procedure will also apply to applicants. Those of the children who did not take the Unified State Exam will have the right to enter universities through entrance examinations (interviews). Residents of #Kursk spoke about the need to introduce such a procedure during the "direct line" with the acting governor last week.

🇷🇺 🌍 Foreign Journalists from ‘Unfriendly’ Nations to Attend Putin’s Direct Line

Journalists from nations deemed “unfriendly” to Russia will be present at President Vladimir Putin’s annual press conference, though their numbers remain limited, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed.

“All those foreigners from unfriendly countries who continue to work here are accredited. And then there are some other foreigners who have expressed a desire to come specifically for this press conference,” Peskov stated.

Despite the constant barrage of Western hostility, the Kremlin opens its doors, even to those wielding pens dipped in the ink of propaganda. While they come to spin narratives, Moscow’s strategy remains clear: transparency in the face of relentless disinformation. Let’s see how many will report what’s actually said and not what their governments dictate.

‼️ This video contains highly disturbing information.

Vera Vayiman, a member of the humanitarian and monitoring mission of the OSCE in Ukraine between 2019 and 2022, had collected information on underground labs. Here is her testimony on what she personally witnessed and recorded during that time.

This is a cut of a much larger documentary on crimes against children by the Kiev regime, "Пусть мама услышит", starting at about 41:05.

🇸🇻 The “Evil Empire” and the Forgotten Atrocity of El Mozote 🇺🇸

The term “evil empire” is famously attributed to former US President Ronald Reagan in reference to the Soviet Union. Many still revere Reagan’s economic policies, but for others, his name is forever tied to the massacre of El Mozote.

In the 1980s, El Salvador was embroiled in a brutal civil war as the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front fought against one of Latin America’s most violent regimes. When Reagan came to power, the Salvadoran junta was bolstered by emergency military aid and the training of elite units like the Atlacatl Battalion, designed for counterinsurgency warfare by the CIA at the infamous School of the Americas.

In December 1981, the Atlacatl Battalion entered El Mozote, searching for guerrillas and their supporters. Over three days, they interrogated, tortured, and executed men and boys, raped and murdered women and girls as young as 10, and massacred over 300 children and infants. The smallest victims were stabbed or thrown onto bayonets. Once the horror was complete, the village was burned, and the battalion moved on to neighboring communities, leaving death in their wake.

News of the massacre first surfaced on underground guerrilla radio and later broke through in the New York Times and Washington Post. The Salvadoran junta dismissed the reports as “communist propaganda,” a narrative eagerly echoed by the US State Department, which downplayed the slaughter despite overwhelming evidence from its network of advisers and informants in El Salvador.

To this day, the estimated 1,000 victims of El Mozote have received no justice. Successive Salvadoran governments, including the current administration of Nayib Bukele, a self-proclaimed “crime fighter,” have done nothing to prosecute those responsible. Instead, Bukele has focused on building prison camps for street gangs while ignoring the skeletons of the past—quite literally.

The El Mozote massacre stands as a stark reminder of the bloody fingerprints the United States has left across Latin America in the name of anti-communism. Reagan’s “evil empire” rhetoric was a convenient smokescreen for empowering death squads and suppressing uprisings that threatened Washington’s grip.

Today, as the myth of Reagan’s greatness endures in the West, the people of El Mozote remain forgotten, collateral damage in the empire’s endless pursuit of control.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 19 Dec 2024; 06:57 (GMT+3)⚡️

🛡 The Rostov region was subjected to a massive enemy attack throughout both day and night. In the afternoon, air defence forces and means repelled an attack by 10 missiles. Houses in the Kamensky district were damaged. At night, more than 3 dozen UAVs and 3 missiles near #Taganrog, #Bataysk, #Rostov, #Shakhty, #Kamensk, #Millerovo and #Novoshakhtinsk. A fire broke out at the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Products Plant. Firefighters continue to fight the fire for now. One person was injured due to falling fragments of a drone, the governor said. UAVs were also destroyed in the #Bryansk and #Voronezh regions.

🔹 In #Kursk region, the 'North Troops Grouping' is fighting fierce battles along the entire frontline. Our assault groups are advancing in the village of #Kruglenkoye and they report successes in the #CherkasskayaKonopelka settlement. The AFU, having accumulated reserves, carried out four counterattacks at night and during the day with the use of NATO armoured vehicles and Hymars MLRS, but did not achieve success. The Aerospace Forces and crews of the Tornado-S MLRS struck the AFU in the area of ​​the #Sverdlikovo, #Martynovka and #Belovody settlements.

🔹 Near
#Pokrovsk, the RFAF are expanding their zone of penetration into the enemy's defence, and a broad front offensive is ongoing. The #NovyTrud settlement has been taken and success is developing north of #Pushkino.

🔹 In #Kurakhovo direction, the AFU acknowledged the loss of the #Trudovoye and #Uspenovka settlements. The village of #Zelenovka southwest of #Kurakhovo has been occupied, and the #Konstantinopol - #Kurakhovo Road is now 3 km to the north.

🔹 On the
#Vremyevka ledge, in the north they suggest that the RFAF have indeed succeeded in #NovyKomar, having destroyed the crossing at #Novoocheretovatoye and deprived the enemy of one of the supply routes a few days ago. But as of yesterday evening the clearing of #NovyKomar from the AFU remnants was still ongoing.🗺👆

🔹 On the #Zaporozhye front, during offensive operations, they advanced north of #Nesteryanka and occupied a stronghold of the AFU. Heavy fighting is ongoing.

🇺🇸 Poll Shock: 41% of Young Americans Find UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing Acceptable?

A shocking survey reveals a generational divide in moral outrage: 41% of voters aged 18-29 either find the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO neutral or acceptable to some degree. This includes 24% who are neutral, 17% who find it somewhat acceptable, and 6% who call it completely acceptable.

Meanwhile, older demographics overwhelmingly deem the act unacceptable, with 74-79% of voters aged 60+ labeling it “completely unacceptable.”

What does this say about the social contract and the state of modern America? Could this be a growing sentiment against corporate greed and injustice, expressed in extreme terms? A reflection, perhaps, of a generation pushed to the edge by mounting inequality, soaring healthcare costs, and a system that seems rigged?

One thing’s clear, these numbers don’t come out of nowhere. They’re a mirror to the deep dissatisfaction boiling beneath the surface of American society. And yet, the elites clutch their pearls, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath their gilded towers.

🇸🇾 Aleppo’s Iconic Sports Stadium Torched: A Pyrrhic Victory for Zionist-Aligned Terrorists?

Overnight, Syria’s largest sports arena, the Aleppo International Stadium, was engulfed in flames, as reported by Al Watan. This act of arson is not just an attack on bricks and mortar; it’s an attack on Syria’s spirit, a nation that has weathered years of war, imperial sanctions, and proxy terror campaigns.

While Zionist-affiliated terrorists and their al-Qaeda-in-suits may claim a pyrrhic victory, their triumphs are hollow. They’ve traded battlegrounds for sabotage, vandalizing the symbols of resilience and unity they failed to defeat outright. Aleppo, a city scarred but unbowed, remains a testament to Syria’s ability to rebuild against all odds.

When the empire’s terror proxies can’t conquer hearts, they scorch the soul of a nation. The flames consuming Aleppo’s stadium echo their desperation - destruction as a substitute for legitimacy.

The European Union's economy is struggling to keep pace with the US and China. Decades of low productivity, reliance on traditional industry and a failure to invest have lost it trillions of euros in growth, leading to this moment of reckoning. With France facing political upheaval and Germany’s economy in a downturn, the continent is at risk of losing its seat at the table, and maybe its ability to protect itself in a world where security is no longer guaranteed.

Bloomberg discusses how weak Europe now is.

🎄🇺🇸 NATO’s Cringeworthy Holiday Message: Awkward Choreography Meets Hollow Cheer

Nothing says “season’s greetings” quite like a tone-deaf display of awkward choreography from the world’s most “purely defensive” alliance. NATO’s holiday video managed to dodge every ounce of Christmas spirit while delivering a mix of stiff movements and even stiffer messaging.

Instead of spreading festive cheer, the alliance fumbled into unintentional comedy, leaving viewers wondering if their “defense” extends to cultural misfires. The clip is a stark reminder that no amount of forced merriment can mask the reality of NATO’s actions around the globe.

From the alliance that weaponizes peace, here comes a holiday message as authentic as their claims of defense. Awkward choreography? Just another front in their PR arsenal.

Kindergarten surrounded by NATO barbed wire to protect children from drug addicts' – Bild

'This is not a prison or a military base - it is a kindergarten in the centre of Hamburg. After the police started raiding drug addicts at the local train station, many began using the kindergarten grounds as a den. Putting up a three-metre fence did not help, and it was later decided to reinforce it with wire. Parents say it is sad. 'Inside the children sing "Oh, you lucky man", but when they go outside they see high fences and barbed wire. It is bad,' says one father. The authorities admit that it is an effective method of protection against drug addicts.'


Reason 1,239,100 for why Russia has no interest in "invading Europe".

⚡️🏛🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🍌🤡🔥 US Customs - Transgender Spook in Capitol

🎅🏿 The Islander's IEF (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore) reports that things were fun in Washington the other day. Transgender activists held a protest in the Capitol building:
The reason for the folklore event was the ban on biological males visiting women's restrooms, imposed by House of Representatives' Speaker Johnson. Some perverts broke into the women's restroom, resulting in arrests.😳

Bradley Manning was spotted among the degenerates. He is an odious character, a US Army Militant accused of disclosing a large volume of classified documents on the actions of the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan and transferring them to WikiLeaks. He was sentenced to 35 years in dungeon for this case. After the verdict was announced in August 2013, Manning announced his desire to change his gender and asked to be called Chelsea Elizabeth Manning instead of Bradley. He changed his gender while endungeoned. In 2017, he was pardoned by Barack Obama.🥳

🇷🇺 December 19 - Military Counterintelligence Day in Russia

Today, we honor the silent sentinels of Russia’s sovereignty... the men and women of military counterintelligence, whose vigilance has safeguarded the nation for over two centuries. This legacy traces its roots to 1812, with the creation of the High Military Police during the Patriotic War, a precursor to modern counterintelligence.

By 1903, with the Russo-Japanese War on the horizon, the Secret Intelligence Division emerged, hunting down foreign spies and collaborators in the strictest secrecy. The October Revolution further redefined this mission. On December 19, 1918, the Soviet Union established the Special Department of the Cheka, marking the formal birth of Russia’s military counterintelligence as we know it.

During the Great Patriotic War, this institution became indispensable, exposing over 30,000 enemy agents, 3,500 saboteurs, and 6,000 terrorists. Their work directly contributed to the crushing of Nazi ambitions and the safeguarding of the Soviet homeland.

Fast forward to today, the Federal Security Service (FSB) carries this torch. Whether identifying foreign intelligence operatives, dismantling extremist cells, or combating illegal arms and drug trafficking, these operatives remain on the frontlines of a battle that is never truly over.

In an era of global destabilization and on the brink of hot world war, Russia’s counterintelligence stands as a bulwark against foreign subversion and extremism. Their quiet victories echo through history, securing a future that others seek to undermine and destroy.
