"US weapons supply to Ukraine prepped in January". The Pentagon and the Democrats have an amazing crystal ball!
"Russians Steadily Advance in Donbass" (South Front). With the Russians fairly tight lipped, and the Empire lying constantly to make the Ukrainian position look better than it is to keep the arms flowing to benefit the MIC, I suspect we will wake up one morning to find the Russians have instantly wiped out most of the Ukrainian Army.
The cannon fodder speak: "In Video: Ukrainian Servicemen Who Survived in Izyum Area, Appealed to Their Commanders" (South Front). It must be a living hell to be a Ukrainian soldier. You can't leave, as some Nazi will shoot you. If you stay, under constant Russian artillery fire, you just wait to die, unaware of when it will happen. The only hope is to identify and kill all the Nazis, frag all the officers, and surrender.

"Is It Really In Poland’s Best Interests To Reportedly Plot Western Ukraine’s Annexation?" (Korybko):
". . . the scenario of annexing Western Ukraine would actually result in the largest transfer of Polish wealth since the loss of the “Kresy” after World War II. Poland’s socio-economic stability will certainly suffer and perhaps be irreparably affected by such a radical redistribution of wealth to the millions of refugees within its territory and those folks living in Western Ukraine who’ll be the recipients of these astronomically large investments. That predictably being the case and considering everything else that was shared in this analysis, it’s contrary to Poland’s objective national interests to annex that chunk of Lenin’s unnatural mini-empire though it might still happen regardless."
Ukraine is such a seriously fucked up place that owning even a part of it is poison. But the Poles are so consumed by hate, and, frankly, dumb, they will probably do it anyway. A weakened Poland is a huge bonus.
"UKRAINE: The Realist Father of Poland’s Hawkish PM" (Krupka). Modern science has identified a Pole with an IQ over 75, but he's dead. I'm kidding about the Poles (sort of).

"Can NATO Re-Arm Ukraine?" (Tweedie). The only beneficiary of this is the MIC, and European and American taxpayers will foot the bill.

I like Massie. He is like Rand Paul if Rand Paul wasn't completely full of shit.
A thread:
Paul's job is to make it appear that the Empire isn't an intellectual monolith. After he does his thing, he then dutifully votes for the stupid anyway.
Ha!: "Putin’s ‘middle finger’ to the UN sends clear message to the West". And talk about luck, they managed to off a Radio Liberty staffer, surely a legitimate military target.
"Ukraine’s Zelenskyy invited to G20 summit to be attended by Putin". Indonesia has done an excellent job with the diplomacy here.
Small-brained PMCs go with the flow:
In the Empire, fraternal solidarity is incomprehensible, but it is normal, sane practice in the Resistance:
