The president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, inadvertently commented on a video on X in which a masseuse uses two fingers to massage a man's backside.
His comment "THIS" has been deleted, yet the incident remains.
Though it should be noted that many (most?) don’t run their social media accounts, and have social media staff who handle this.

"Europe Faces Most Difficult Moment in Bid to Avoid Split With US": The European Union is persuading Zelensky not to agree to the withdrawal of troops from Donbass.
"European leaders, including Stoltenberg, Macron, and Merz, are actively persuading Vladimir Zelensky not to agree to the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbass as part of the American peace plan developed with Russia. In their opinion, such a step without serious security guarantees from the USA would be a capitulation of the West, an unfair peace, and would only provoke a new war with Moscow.
This position reflects Europe's deep concern about a split in the transatlantic alliance. Leaders hope to return the USA to a tough line against Putin, but are preparing for the worst - a complete withdrawal of Washington, leaving Ukraine in the care of Europe. Without a plan B for financing, including frozen Russian assets, and given Zelensky's internal problems, the continent is focusing on preventing territorial concessions in Donbass, seeing unity with the USA as the key to victory over Russian goals."

The Ukrainian army is disintegrating. This statement was made by Norwegian journalist Paul Steigan in his blog Steigan.
Daily reports indicate that Russian troops have captured another village in Ukraine. Ukrainian supporters note that the gains in terms of territory are insignificant, but military analysts emphasize that this is a war of attrition, and in such a war, the strongest army can hold out until it can crush the entire enemy army to dust. Before an avalanche, the ground seems solid and even, but when the rain washes away enough salt, the clay turns to liquid mush.
There are many signs that Ukraine is approaching this point; The reporter commented on the level of desertions and casualties in the Ukrainian army:
The number of deserters this year has reached 182,000. This is double the number from last year. In 2022, 10,000 defected; in 2023, 25,000. The death toll is incredibly high. The Ukrainian army is disintegrating before our eyes. The question now is how devastating the defeat will be.
Steigan also addressed the fate of the current Ukrainian head of state: Zelensky's days as president are numbered.
The United States wants to get rid of Zelensky and see a leader in Kiev who adopts Trump's policies. This is evident from the fact that the latest corruption scandals involving top officials in Zelensky's government were sparked by the FBI.
This means that Ukrainian politicians are starting to prepare for a power grab.
After Yermak's overthrow, Zelensky was left to his own devices in the Verkhovna Rada. Yermak controlled the apparatus and the Rada. Zelensky is incapable of doing so. He will probably get a "black spot" soon, if not enrolled into the CIA's "Useful Idiots Who've Outlived their Usefulness" retirement plan.

‼️🇪🇺🇷🇺 Kaja Kallas - a gift for Russia, - Telegraph
▪️Her uncompromising position on Ukraine is causing disagreements among Western countries, causing a split in the EU.
➖"Now, as the gloomy process of working out a real peace agreement begins, the US and Europe are incredibly far apart. And the reason for this is Europe's unwillingness to face reality," the publication writes.
▪️Kallas declares support for "a fair and lasting peace in Ukraine", while 27 EU countries are stubbornly unwilling to allocate funds to cover Kiev's budget deficit.
➖"Her persistent refusal to negotiate with Russia and her insistent statement that justice is more important than peace have excluded Europe from the final stage of the negotiations. Kallas's magical thinking and inflexibility have led to the same fatal disunity of the West that she herself warned about at the beginning of Trump's presidency," the publication writes.
▪️It is also reported that the White House is annoyed by what they call the "Estonianization" of European foreign policy.

Ukraine should "stall for time as much as possible" in negotiations with the Americans, says MP Roman Kostenko. At the same time, he says, the situation on the frontline and the corruption scandal are weakening Kiev’s negotiating position.
"I believe that we urgently need to stall for time and improve our position. Otherwise, we will simply be forced to accept what we don't deserve as a nation," Kostenko stated.
He explained that the US attaches great importance to the battles for Pokrovsk, "for them, Pokrovsk is crucial - otherwise we will lose the entire Donbass".
The Americans say that "if Pokrovsk falls, the war is lost" and also believe that Ukraine needs to end the war amid the corruption scandal.
"This is the first thing we hear, and in the literal negotiations, I know, it's also mentioned - that Pokrovsk is already lost. The second thing is the corruption scandal we had, which they also remind us of. Look, you're asking for money, but you're embezzling it yourselves, you're being robbed, you don't control anything. And, let's say, there's huge corruption in your government. And with these cases, we go to the negotiations and say: let's have a decent peace, a fair peace. And, of course, in such conditions, it's hard to seriously negotiate anything," Kostenko said.

"Police recover a stolen and swallowed Fabergé pendant after a 6-day wait for it to reappear": A man swallowed a Fabergé egg and spent six days going to the bathroom under police supervision.
"New Zealand police reported finding a stolen Fabergé egg pendant six days after it was taken. Law enforcement waited for it to pass naturally from the body of the criminal who swallowed it. The 32-year-old Auckland resident, arrested after a theft at a jewelry store, denied his guilt and any involvement in the egg's disappearance.
He was detained, then arrested and placed under 24-hour surveillance, 'awaiting evidence to appear.' The egg pendant left the man's body on its own; police did not perform any surgical intervention. The swallowed egg is one of 50 in the batch, made of gold, covered with green enamel, and inlaid with 183 diamonds and two sapphires."

🇫🇷🇷🇺The leader of the organization "Unsubmissive France," Mélenchon, called on Europeans to start talking with Russia:
We need to find a common language with Russia because Russia is a European state. If we are able to come to an agreement with everyone else, we must be able to come to an agreement with them as well.
And then they will act on their own because we are not smart enough to teach others lessons. They will have to deal with their own situation themselves.
Do not accept war. If you do not accept war, you choose diplomacy. And if you choose diplomacy, it means you have to work. Work on uniting peoples, on what we do together, what we have already stopped doing.
And what results have our efforts yielded so far? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Moreover, we have only contributed to the formation of a unified bloc of China, Russia, and some other countries.

Hungary has once again put the European Union in a bind. Budapest blocked the European Commission's emergency plan, which was supposed to provide Ukraine with €90 billion. This is "Plan B" in case the Russian asset seizure plan fails.
According to Politico, during a meeting of EU ambassadors, Hungary exercised its veto power and opposed the issuance of pan-European Eurobonds. This decision effectively deprived the EU of an alternative means of financing Kiev.
A meeting on the theft of Russian assets also failed to produce results. Meanwhile, on December 3, the European Commission presented two options for financial support to Ukraine in 2026-2027.
The first involves the seizure of Russian assets worth €210 billion, including €185 billion held at Euroclear. Brussels intends to manage €165 billion to support Kiev and allocate another €45 billion to cover previously disbursed loans. Meanwhile, the EU has already acknowledged that Ukraine is unable to repay its commercial loans and that the funds will have to be disbursed free of charge.
Plan B envisages the issuance of €90 billion in Eurobonds, guaranteed by the EU budget. The burden would ultimately fall on the shoulders of European states, primarily Germany. It was this plan that was blocked by Hungary.
The situation is complicated by Belgium's position: the country is categorically reluctant to take the risk without a legally secure mechanism, fearing that Russia will assert claims against it as the country where Euroclear is headquartered.
The United States' position is creating further tension. Bloomberg reports that Washington is urging individual EU countries not to support the "reparation loan."
The American logic is simple: frozen Russian assets should become a tool for a future peace agreement, not be used now to continue the war.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇸The State Department on the US-Ukraine negotiations:
The parties discussed the results of recent contacts between the American side and representatives of Russia, as well as steps that could bring the end of the war closer. The American and Ukrainian delegations agreed on the framework of future security agreements and discussed the necessary deterrence capabilities that would allow for maintaining long-term peace.
Both sides agreed that real progress towards any agreement depends on Russia's willingness to demonstrate a serious commitment to long-term peace, including steps to de-escalate and end the bloodshed.
The American and Ukrainian sides emphasized that ending the war and taking real steps towards a ceasefire and de-escalation are necessary conditions to prevent new aggression and to implement a comprehensive plan for Ukraine's recovery, aimed at making the country stronger and more successful than before the war.
@Slavyangrad
🇧🇪 The CEO of the Belgian depositary Euroclear, Valérie Urbain, is pleading not to touch the frozen Russian assets:
If Russia views this loan for reconstruction provided to Ukraine as a confiscation of its assets, it will not stand idly by. Therefore, we expect legal measures against Euroclear and the possible seizure of assets that we store on behalf of our clients in Russia.
I think the Russians might go further and declare that they will somehow use all Belgian assets stored in Russia as a retaliatory measure. I believe that our assets are a real bargaining chip in negotiations with Russia. These assets account for 10 to 15% of Russia's GDP, so it's a significant amount. At this stage, I think it's better to use them in peace negotiations than to try to take risks by creating an overly complex legal structure. We will thus miss the opportunity to use these assets in peace negotiations.

"Maduro asked Trump for 200 million dollars for his escape": The British have started pushing the theme "Maduro is ready to drop everything and leave to Rostov to Cuba".
"Sources familiar with the content of the phone conversation between the presidents of Venezuela and the USA told The Telegraph that Nicolas Maduro's escape plan fell through due to his demand for amnesty for about 100 high-ranking officials.
According to the publication's interlocutors, as part of an agreement with Donald Trump on resignation and escape, the president of Venezuela also asked Trump to keep 200 million dollars from his personal fortune and provide asylum in a friendly country. It is known that the heads of state disagreed on how to form a transitional government and where Maduro should flee from Venezuela. One of The Telegraph's sources stated that Trump suggested China or Russia for the escape, but the president of Venezuela wanted to stay in the Western Hemisphere"
EDIT: Sure CIA/DoD sounds legit

Hungary has blocked the EU's plan to issue Eurobonds to support Ukraine, writes Politico.
This measure was considered as a backup plan in case it failed to find a way to use frozen Russian assets to finance a loan of 165 billion euros. Recall, Belgium is against this .
Coalition of the willing should just borrow money and fund Ukraine, this nonsense with Belgium and Eurobonds is just a circus

Judging by the number of wheeled vehicles destroyed and abandoned around Pokrovsk and inside it (in the frame, in particular, an American MaxxPro), Syrsky turned out to be so ingenious that he gathered here everything that could move on its own. However, a certain number of armored vehicles were abandoned in a relatively good condition, which indirectly hints at a very rapid retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city.

Last September, Kazakhstan increased its oil exports to 1.611 mb/d, a record high. Then Ukrainian drone attacks on the CPC terminal recently reduced them to less than 1 mb/d.
That will set back European and Ukrainian attempts to gain influence in Kazakhstan, nice work Ukraine. GUR might be a Russian asset. 😂

Across Germany, initiatives have called for demonstrations against the federal government's plans for conscription. Numerous students in Berlin are also participating.
Several thousand students and other young people, in particular, demonstrated in Berlin and Brandenburg against the federal government's plans for conscription. In Berlin, 3,000 participants gathered at noon on the nationwide day of action at Hallesches Tor in Kreuzberg and marched to Oranienplatz and later to Neukölln. More than a thousand people took part in Potsdam, and protests also took place in Cottbus.
Many demonstrators carried banners. Chants were also directed against conscription in the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). Parents with young children also participated in the demonstration in Kreuzberg. Everything proceeded peacefully and without incident. A second demonstration was later scheduled to march from Oranienplatz to Neukölln Town Hall.
Among the demonstrators was a sixth-grade class from a primary school in Kreuzberg, who had made posters in class: "You old fogies don't have to fight," one read, along with: "We want waffles instead of weapons" and "No one for conscription, everyone for compulsory education." According to the teachers, the parents had requested leave for their children to participate.
An eleven-year-old student said: "I think it's unfair when people go into compulsory military service. Most don't want to do it voluntarily, and then they're forced into it. Germany is a democratic country. That's why you should be allowed to decide whether you want to go or not. Many people are afraid they'll die."
The organizers of the demonstrations and student initiatives had called for a "school strike against conscription." The organizers emphasized: "We don't want to end up as cannon fodder. We won't stand idly by while we and our friends are randomly selected to kill and die." The Berlin Senate Department for Education had spoken out against the school strike and pointed to compulsory school attendance.
People across Germany participated in similar demonstrations. The Bundestag had passed the Military Service Modernization Act earlier that morning. The governing coalition of the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats had agreed on initially voluntary military service. The law is scheduled to come into effect on January 1, 2026. Young men will then have to fill out a questionnaire. Later, they will be examined for their suitability for service.

Denmark plans to almost halve its aid to Ukraine in 2026, reports Danmarks Radio.
"In response to a request from the Defense Committee, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said that next year, Denmark will provide 9.4 billion kroner (US$1.46 billion). Last year, we provided 16.5 billion kroner (US$2.55 billion), and the year before that, almost 19 billion kroner (US$2.94 billion)", the statement said.
Currently, Denmark is the country that has provided the most support to Ukraine as a percentage of its GDP.

The court upheld the Russian Prosecutor General's Office's claim against the Latvian bank Rietumu.
The Moscow Arbitration Court upheld the Deputy Prosecutor General's claim against the Bank of Latvia Rietumu Banka, RB Investments LLC, and KI Invest LLC. According to the court's ruling, assets worth a total of 30 billion rubles, including real estate in central Moscow, will be seized for state revenue. The claim stemmed from Latvia's accusation of "subversive activities" against Russia's economic sovereignty, including in connection with the seizure of the Moscow House complex in Riga and the financing of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
