Earlier, British intelligence chiefs in London said Putin has been hit with the “most costly month” of his Ukraine war with more than 45,000 Russian casualties.
Citing figures from the Ukrainian General Staff, the Ministry of Defence in London said Russia lost daily 1,523 soldiers, killed or wounded, in November.
In its latest intelligence briefing, the MoD said: “This is the third straight month that Russian Forces have sustained new war high average daily losses.
“28 November also saw a new war high of 2,030 losses in a single day, the first time more than 2,000 have been reported.

Russia on Thin Ice: Assad’s Troubles and Putin’s Global Struggles
Despite the outward appearance of strength, cracks in Russia’s global strategy, like within Russia itself, are beginning to appear.

Assad became already the 2nd runaway president whom citizens deposed for brutality and abuse — in 2014, Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovich escaped to Russia seeking refuge from angry citizen mobs.
Of course, the Russian mafia boss with the penchant for propping world’s worst dictators, Vladimir Putin, claims that the reason why citizens wanted to depose their corrupt leaders was “because the CIA paid them” — and not because people just had enough.
It’s quite ironic that Assad, who forced 6 million of Syrians to leave the country, is now officially “a Syrian refugee” — Russia granted him asylum “for humanitarian reasons.”
Would Putin suffer the same fate as Assad?
The speed with which Assad’s military collapsed in just 10 days was reminiscent of what was happening in Russia on June 24, 2023, when “Wagner” troops under command of Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin were rushing towards Moscow.
No one stood in their way — if Prigozhin didn’t chicken out and halt his march mere 2-hour drive from Moscow, Putin’s regime would have crumbled just as spectacular as Assad’s.
No one tried to defend Putin — even his top propagandists suddenly shut up and didn’t support him.
These were some unforgettable 14 hours.
Putin’s regime was miraculously saved by Prigozhin’s cowardice and foolishness — the ‘Wagner’ boss chose to believe trapped Putin.
Which was nonsensically moronic.
Prigozhin could have become a new Russia’s national hero — instead, he ended up blown up in a private jet in the sky over Russia exactly 2 months later.
That’s what Putin does to people who got him cornered — but decided, for whatever reason, not to finish him in a moment of his ultimate weakness. Putin is a revengeful psychopath incapable of forgiveness or compassion.
That’s a lesson to learn for those who might think it could be a good idea to “allow Putin to save his face” — or think that Putin’s promises could be trusted.
If Prigozhin didn’t stop, Putin would have nowhere to run. There is no place in the world where Putin could feel safe.
This means, when cornered, Putin will promise absolutely anything, will agree to any conditions. Which he never intends to abide by — and will break in the most cruel fashion at the earliest opportunity.
That’s the training he got — first, from his mafia boss judo trainer as a kid, and then, from the KGB school — you can say anything that lets you get what you want. And you never have to deliver on your promises.
Putin only can be stopped by force.
There is no other way.

Vladimir Putin faces a growing crisis beyond the war in Ukraine—a demographic time bomb threatening Russia's future. With plummeting birth rates, mass emigration of skilled workers, and rising military casualties, Russia could lose up to 15 million people by 2046. This video dives into how the war impacts Russia's workforce, economic stability, and population decline. Can Putin reverse the trend, or is Russia on a path to losing its global influence?

Russia has done nothing but gain global influence. The reaction to Syria is an indicator based on how ecstatic the state department was that after 10 years they over came the Russian problem. It actually shows that we are in a multi polar world and that Russia is in the game.
If we actually invested domestically to compete economically on the world stage, Russia could not compete with us, but instead we have to subverting regimes and fight limited wars which is what the Russians were all trained to do. So we spend billions of dollars over 10 years to overthrow Assad where there may be no real ROI on any of the money or political capital so isreal could expand and plant thier flag on Mount hermon.
Who's draining who?

A key pillar of Russia's wartime economy could soon be taking another hit
Oil demand is down while supplies are ample — which allows the US to tighten energy sanctions against Russia without a surge in prices.

Russia ‘getting what it deserves,’ Ukraine says, after launching counterattack in border region
Ukraine has launched a counterattack in the southern Russian border region of Kursk, warning that Russia is “getting what it deserves.”
Unofficial Russian military blogs, which often provide reliable reporting on the Ukraine conflict, acknowledged the fighting on Sunday. One said that the Ukrainians were pushing north towards Berdin.
“The enemy has thrown reserves into the offensive in Kursk region,” said one blog Sunday.
“For the breakthrough, the AFU covered the area with powerful radio electronic warfare systems, hampering the work of our UAVs [drones],” the blog said.
Oh No!!!! Ukraine is fighting back! Call the UN!

Top Russian general betrays Putin’s worst fears as Ukraine attacks Kursk again
Russia’s defence ministry may believe its forces are “defeating” Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the Kursk region, but Vladimir Putin clearly doesn’t.
By sending Gen Yevkurov to Kursk, Putin has shown his hand.
Although it is still unclear how successful the Ukrainian counter-offensive will be, he is clearly worried.
Repelling Ukraine’s August 2024 advance into Russia’s southern Kursk region has become a priority project for Putin before Donald Trump is inaugurated as US president on Jan 20 2025 and imposes a peace deal. Turning up to negotiations with Ukraine still holding on to Russian territory, even small parcels, will weaken Putin.
