The frequent Russian air strikes and significant advances on the battlefield are causing the Western media to finally admit that Ukraine can’t win
Last year the West was reporting that Putin was desperate to end the war and negotiate. It wasn’t true. The Biden regime doesn't know what to do.
Here’s your air strike update for Jan 10, 2024

Powerful attacks of the aerospace forces in response to militant strikes
Attacks on the temporary location of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kharkov
On January 10, the Aerospace Forces and artillery destroyed targets in the Kherson, Sumy, Kharkov oblasts and the DPR. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are responding with terrorist attacks on Russian oblasts. The Oryol, Kursk, Saratov oblasts and the DPR were attacked.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces use MLRS [multiple launch rocket systems] and UAVs against civilians. A girl was wounded in Yasinovataya. A woman died in the Kursk oblast [in Russia]. Ukrainian border guards were detained at the border with the Kursk oblast. Either they were sent to carry out terrorist attacks, or they decided to voluntarily surrender. After all, Russian captivity means long life and abundant food. [The life expectancy of a Ukrainian soldier on the front lines is estimated at only a few days and food is scarce. The men are told that they must fight for the “sovereignty” of their country, which was an illusion, as I showed here:
The main reason for this grim conflict was the US Neocons’ obsession with destroying Russia. Which fits in nicely with the Russophobia of a minority of nutjobs in Ukraine who were made to order for this scam.]

Our thanks to WB for this:
Ukraine has been a dumping ground in Germany, Polish, Russian, Brit, US, NATO, history... Glad to see Romania, Bulgaria, Poland Slamming their borders shut, not allowing the Muslim Hoards enter and Wreck their countries. Strong Nationalist leaders. Even Putin, we have been poisoned by the MSM. I used to watch a lot of Putin's speeches and would agree with him, see how they tried again and again to find trade in the EU and see him reach across the table again and again to partner up with the West only to have him spurned and lied about... The Globalists couldn't have Trump and Putin work together. So they lied again: Putin Helped Trump
beat Hillary!! Then said Trump and Putin were working together in a totally FAKED Dossier Made up by MI-6 and CIA assets thru the State Dept, Hillary Ran. WhAT A jOkE Then Putin Threw out Rothchild Banker as the BRICS is built with China... The Globalists are Crazy... Ukraine has been used as a Rag Doll.

The Washington Institute: Hezbollah's popularity has risen within Lebanese society
With increasing questions inside Lebanon about the possibility of a large-scale war occurring in light of the ongoing battle between Hezbollah and the Israeli occupation entity, the scope of which is limited to the border villages and settlements adjacent to the strip on the Israeli northern front. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (Washingtoninstitute) published the results of a survey, which included a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Lebanese citizens. The institute conducted this survey during the period from November 14 to December 6, in light of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle that began on October 7 last year.
Highlights of the results
- “Hezbollah’s popularity in Lebanon has increased since the last poll in 2020.”
Hezbollah is currently waging the battle within “precise calculations” and constitutes support and support for Gaza and relief from it, and also protects the deterrence balance in Lebanon. In this context, Hezbollah’s contribution to the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle in defense of the Palestinian people garnered support from Lebanese society for its choice to participate, in addition to consider the resistance weapons as the decisive factor in protecting Lebanon against Israeli ambitions and projects in the region.
Most Lebanese agree that “Israel is so weak and divided that it may be defeated one day.” The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood gained widespread support among the Lebanese of various sects, and a clear picture of the entity’s [Israel’s] laxity and political and military divisions crystallized, and this scene gave realistic and verifiable hope for Israel’s defeat. This also applies to support for Hamas. According to the poll, “79% of the Lebanese express a positive opinion of Hamas,” which indicates support for Hamas on a broader scale than before in Lebanese society.
- There is overwhelming consensus in Lebanon (99%) that the Arab countries must immediately cut off all contacts with the occupying entity in protest against its military action in Gaza. The Al-Aqsa Flood operation turned the path of normalization between the Israeli entity and Saudi Arabia into an uncalculated risk, especially with the increase in opposition to Israel in Arab public opinion, as a result of the daily crimes of the occupying entity in the Gaza Strip. This affected the view of many segments of Lebanese society regarding the normalization option it pursued in some Arab countries.
-"54% of Lebanese Christians agree that the current war is a victory for Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, despite the destruction and loss of life." The Christian presence is rooted in the region, and it has always expressed its Arabism, support, and participation in championing the Palestinian cause and creating the Arab renaissance [Actually, there was a time when many Lebanese Christians – I suspect influenced by the doctrine of “Christian” Zionism – supported Israel]. In contrast, voices calling for an isolated Christian state, cut off from its surroundings, have disappeared, as illustrated by the “terrified minorities” speech launched by Lebanese politician Fares Saeed in a video leaked on the “X” platform.
- There is a noticeable shift in Lebanese society away from the United States and towards other powers. After two years, the percentage of those who agree with the statement that “Our country cannot depend on the United States these days, so we must look more to Russia or China as partners” has increased. This proposal comes in line with what the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, adopted by pivoting east, which is considered a transformative strategic option as an alternative to the economic and political connection with the United States of America, which was once nothing but the head of hegemony that opposed Lebanon’s sovereignty.
The Al-Aqsa flood marked a remarkable rise in support for Hezbollah in Lebanese society, due to the rally of a large number of Lebanese citizens around the effectiveness of armed resistance to repel the aggression, for which Hezbollah sacrificed dozens of martyrs on the road to Jerusalem. Hamas also succeeded in reviving the Palestinian cause in the heart of the Arab nation, of which Christians constitute an essential part, and showed the Israelis in a position of weakness and division. The survey results also show the failure of Western and Arab propaganda to distance many Lebanese segments from Hezbollah or to distort the Hamas movement.
The Al-Aqsa flood came at a time when the path of normalization between Saudi Arabia and the Israeli entity had reached advanced stages, but based on the poll, it seems that when it is re-introduced after the war, it will face widespread opposition, and this will affect the image of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon, where support for the option of pivoting east has increased – towards Russia and China, with decreased support for the option of relying on the United States of America.

Is Israel Prepared for Hezbollah's Second Front?

"I know that sounds [like] a sort of contrarian view, but I think this is not unexpected what's happening," the ex-MI6 agent said. "It's been planned. I would think that Hezbollah have surprises up their sleeve and I can't even guess at what they are. They might actually invade Israel. It's quite possible they would do that. They have 100,000 troops, all experienced. They've been fighting in Syria against ISIS* (Daesh*) for a long time. They're experienced, they're very sophisticated technically. I don't know what they'll do.
