Interesting thought from Wyatt of DPA:

He says Ukraine can continue with strategic strikes indefinitely. Ukraine reduced manpower losses, by relying drones more and more to hold the front - this tactics works because how Russia fights this war. So manpower doesn't matter much anymore. So even if Russia occupies whole Donbas, they can't just end the conflict.
He doesn't say this, but since Ukraine's economic and production base isn't really in Ukraine but elsewhere in Europe, Russia can't destroy their factories much. And what they destroy, Ukraine can rebuild. So it's a constant knocking down again and again.
So yeah, let's say Russia conquers the rest of Donetsk this winter the latest. Then what? They could say: hey we reached our goal we want to end the war. But Kiev can say no. And they do easier since manpower losses are lower.
There are many other things in play, so this is a lopsided approach (for example there are equipment losses too).
Russia really has to innovate to intercept Ukrainian drones and rockets.

Matt's video with the Australian diplomat was pretty gud. The old man knew exactly what his position should be on the topics, and sounded level headed.

I assume the used the reports, videos, and geolocations to map out the events. I wonder how much is a deduction, hypothesis, and creative fantasy.

If these types of actions happen, that might be a bigger problem for the junta, than losing Kidal.

Aragchi had talks in Qatar today. He sure travel a lot.
Trump tweeted that he talked with everyone in the region (except Iran) and things go well and soon everything be all right. He also said often recently that Iran can't have nuclear weapon - seems to agree with the Iranian position which is the same since forever, and they always say the same.
I don't know if US troop buildup continues or not. UAE seemed to decide not to remain passive subject of Iranian attacks if the conflict heats up but directly aligned themselves with Israel and the US. Since the other side of the strait is their land, they could be an important springboard to whatever the Washington wants to do there if they want to do anything.
I don't think Trump is enthusiastic about doing anything more.
If the bombing campaign had been so successful then they would not have resorted to the blockade and if the blockade had been showing more success then they would have start with that instead of the bombings.
Generating popular revolt failed, no guerilla warfare by separatist, and they did not launched punctuated military attacks either. At this point they are running out of the foreign policy tools.
Trump tweeted the Persuasion policy of Obama was shit, and frankly the Containment did nothing, this is why he started the bombings.
Basically three path remains:
1. continue Containment, giving up, moving on
2. Engagement, free Iran from the shackles of Containment and treat them as any normal state
3. launch an Invasion.

They are not hard to explain, one was a nut job who sprinted at a security checkpoint with a gun and got shot, the other was a nut job who drew a gun at a security checkpoint and got shot. They didn't sneak through any checkpoints.

The first shooter was staying in the hotel that the event was being held in and the second was just a dude walking down a public street which he is fully entitled to do, there was no way to stop him other than at a checkpoint and a checkpoint did stop him.

Kirk shooter didn't shoot the president but just some public speaker.

There was the ear shooter who tried sniping Trump of course, it seems like the reason he was able to get there was because there was confusion between the secret service and Police over who was responsible for that building.

In theory all it should take is one line of sight and somebody can shoot trump. Probably a determined and calculating shooter could do it and it would not surprise me if it happens one day.

>>55402
They are allowed to get to that point.
It's impossible to stay "invisible" in your intention these days. You probably have like 2-3 surveillance device in your room right now.

With Orban gone, what you plan on doing Hungarybernd?

Also, at least you're not as bad as Romania right now fr fr

Buy bunch of dry pasta? Not sure.
As for day to day living I don't really expect much change. The lawmakers and their puppetmasters give us coloring books and we have to abide the rules of it.
I kinda fear for the Hungarian culture. Orbán govt not just let people do Hungarian stuff, but they had some faux-pro-Hungarian rhetoric and policy actions (like setting up some institution for research of Hungarian genetics and whatnot that fused with the old tradition). Among the backers of the current govt. there are people who hate Hungary, Hungarians, Hungarian culture, who openly deny it's existence.

Right now two things going on.
The current govt discovers items in the budget that has no cover to back it, in the thousands of billions of HUFs. That's liek a 100 Euro or so I dunno, but a lot. On the other hand they have promises to lower tax and give more gibsmedats to people. So they say they'll revise and examine everything and will audit govt spending and will keep the Orbán govt responsible, while slimming bureaucracy and whatnot. And try to get the money from the EU, but that has a deadline and I dunno, drama is high.
The other one is a scandal around a pardon the previous President of the Republic, Novák Katalin gave to some dude. The crime in itself is not really serious: he tried to cover up someone else's crime. Where it gets scandalous is that the crime the other dude committed is a sexual crime against underage people. So ofc everyone got riled up, crying pedophilia and ofc everyone wants to look very strict and demand justice because they fear they'll get accused with pedophilia... the accusation that can ruin lives. This was the reason Novák left her office, back then when this happened and got publicized.
However when this happened the Minister of Justice was Varga Judit, who was the wife of our current PM, Magyar Péter. Their marriage and divorce wasn't the nicest - there is another ongoing scandal around this but I won't go into that.
Anyway now they are publishing the files, and they behave like as if they were the Epstein files. Right now what I'm hearing everyone tries to pile the shit onto Novák. As far as it can be told someone put this case of in front of her to sign it and pardon the dude but noone seems to know who was it.

>>55413
Watching the video.
>hungary is getting richer
Heh. What news does he read and/or listen?
>romania stable government
I don't even know when they had a stable govt last time. Orbán was japing that during his time, in 16 years, there were 11 or so Romanian prime ministers...
>expecting current PSD coalition to fix the economy with the previous PSD coalition fucked up
>János, I...
Also in one of his previous video he just said how Orbán's Hungary's economy is worse than Romania.
>paying for medical care every time they visit the doctor
They just discovered the free market. Romania caught up to the US finally.
All right I stop commenting every line.

>Do thy have any really famous songs?
Pantera? Surely not. All obscure.

>>55246
Classic songs. Disposable Heroes don't usually get the attention it deserves.
>Metallica wayyy back...
For me they still are those guys. Trujillo got in too late for me and those albums ain't much good. Cliff Burton was too early for me. And Mustain is way too early.

>>55312
Can't listen today until they update yt-dlp.

>>55312
All right. yt-dlp works again.
Listened it without watching the gameplay. It could be the soundtrack for some epic Sherlock Holmes adventure.

>>54198
Another A3. I really like the live version they performed in Sidney.
This is from some vidya's soundtrack.

>>55392
This looks like it's from Apex Legends, but I'm not too sure

>>55313
>Metallica wayyy back...
They still sort of good. Early era was still the best for me IMHO

Yeah Superjail is really over-the-top over-the-top and kinda grungy, not your cup of tea. I like it. If you like ATHF and want something like it, Superjail's for you.

>>55373
"Did" is a bit of a stretch, but yes, the US cornered Japan so much it had no other choice but attack. And the US govt. knew this very well.

>>55374
I know about Serious Sam.
As for British. I follow Clarkson's Farm. Very calming reality show. With some humour.

>>55375
ATHF is tame compared to superjail. That show looks like a psycho killer made it.

Reelest not tabloid news at all.
Mr and Mrs Macron probably had a difference over something, and the Mrs pushed Mr's face.
Media says he got slapped but it's not really a slap. It's a push.
Also, nice save Mr President.

Newsflash: CPAC Hungary is a huge circlejerk.
Listened a bunch of speeches.

Nearing to Silvester - that is New Years Eve - which is about merriment and silly stuff, among other things. So here's something fun.
This news "news" totally avoided me. Bridgette Macron - the wife of Emmanuel Macron French President - is a man!
Now this was aired by Candace Owens who is an I dunno who, but her yt channel has over 5mil subscribers:
https://yewtu.be/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w
https://youtube.com/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w

I'm sure she has a longish video exfoliating her onions about the topic, I might dig it out tomorrow perhaps. Or not. It's not that interesting.
She got sued for defamation by Macron, instead of doing a genetic test. Not sure how things standing even this news is like half a year stale.

I have one undeniable proofs that Mrs Macron is in fact a woman.
'member this post just above >>54294 when she pushes/punches him with both hands? No man would do that, not even the most estrogenated mtf creatures.

Actually I think she spells her name as Brigitte. I might look up this detail too.

Ebola outbreak again.
In Dr. Congo and Uganda.

I know about Nördlingen. Cool little "medieval" town.
>round fields
I build them in Tropico 4. But sometimes it's better to keep the regular farms.

>>55377
Yeah, Bologna had those. And perhaps couple other towns. They were like castles for patricians.
Some still remains.
Wanted some google streetview from the hill south of town but too many goddamn hedges, can't see shit.
