Ukraine Invasion: Specific Developments, November-December 2022

Since the existing thread has been very rowdy lately, it was suggested to try a split. This thread can be for specific developments, preferably with links as support. Not discussion, not theorizing, and definitely not comments on the politics or intelligence of posters (these last will be deleted liberally)

“Japan cannot survive without Russian oil, warns trading house chief”

The Japanese generally don’t make a stink unless they’ve exhausted every option.

Qatar has joined the Russians!!!

As per your article, that guy is “is among Japan’s most charismatic and aggressive business leaders”, and the only one making a stink. And his firm has interests in Russian oil and gas. And Russian oil and gas makes up less than 10% of Japan’s supply. That’s just some information directly from the article.

Seems not the case

The only place i can find this (the website for sirius seems not updated for some years) is what looks like Belarus media. So, the development that Qatar has jponed the Russians is again an interpretation at best

Court in Sevastopol, Russia changed status of 17 sailors from sunken ship Moskva as deceased, more are still declared as missing.

Initially, the Russian Defense Ministry had said it had evacuated the entire crew from the vessel after ammunition exploded on board.

There is talks of the first KIA of a Taiwanese volunteer has happened. If it is true, he was a 25 year-old Indigenous man. Respect for what he has done for his country, Ukraine, and justice. May him rest in peace.

You are such a warmonger, believing the MSM lies financed by the MIC. If only you could be smart enough to know the truth (interesting links) then peace would be achieved - by giving into Putin’s demands.
