ISW Update Dec 7
quote:
Key Takeaways:
Russian forces have not yet evacuated the Russian naval base in Tartus, Syria as of December 6, but it remains unclear whether Russia will keep its vessels at the port as Syrian rebels continue to advance swiftly across regime-held territory.
Russia appears to be redeploying at least some of its air defense assets that were defending Russia's Khmeimim Air Base in Syria, but the reason for this redeployment remains unclear at this time.
The Kremlin continues to advance its strategic effort to de facto annex Belarus and further expand the Russian military’s presence in Belarus through the Union State framework.
Lukashenko is likely trying to preserve Belarusian sovereignty against Moscow by advocating that Belarus control Russian weapons deployed in Belarus - an endeavor Lukashenko has historically failed at.
The deployment of the Oreshnik missiles to Belarus does not significantly increase the immediate risks of intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) strikes against Ukraine or NATO states despite the Kremlin’s intensified nuclear saber-rattling.
The Kremlin is scapegoating former Kursk Oblast Governor Alexei Smirnov for Russia's failure to adequately respond to Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov used his interview with an American media personality to reiterate Kremlin talking points that are intended to shape American foreign policy and achieve a US-Russia reset detrimental to US interests and on the Kremlin's terms.
Western sanctions are reportedly degrading the overall quality of Russian drones, indicating that targeted sanctions are having some negative effects on the Russian defense industrial base (DIB).
Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Vuhledar.
The Russian military continues to lose parts of its officer corps, a resource that is difficult to replenish, as part of Russia's ever-increasing casualties.

The newest drone innovation: the Ukrainian navy is now using naval drones to deploy FPV drones. They attacked Russian positions on oil platforms last night.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE
7 December 2024
Most Russian advances in recent weeks have been centred on three areas - the Pokrovsk axis, the Kurakhove axis, and the Velyka Novosilka axis, all in Donetsk oblast, in south-eastern Ukraine and closely connected. On the first, Russia has made gradual gains towards Pokrovsk - taking control of the town of Selydove and expanding the salient. Russian forces remain approximately 6-7 km from Pokrovsk itself.
Russian forces are likely fighting within the centre of Kurakhove. Kurakhove forms an important section of the front line and its seizure would allow Russian forces to consolidate positions in the area and set conditions for further advances westwards.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have reportedly mounted a limited counter-attack to the north of Velyka Novosilka, retaking the village of Novyy Komar from Russian forces. Despite this, Russian efforts to cut off the supply routes on the northern approach to Velyka Novosilka and encircle the town continue. Russian forces are also pushing towards Velyka Novosilka from the south, recently capturing the village of Blahodatne.

You post the ISW link like a sheep every day. Kagan and Kristol have been running this grift for over 40 years.

Such a heartwarming pic. Trump wearing Ukraine's colors to his meeting with Zelensky in Paris.

Trump is quite right: the last thirteen years of horror in Syria, including ISIS terrorizing much of the Middle East, the Captagon drug epidemic in the ME, the ongoing disaster of Hezbollah in Lebanan -- it all goes back to Obama drawing a "red line" at chemical weapons and then doing nothing when Assad used chemical weapons to murder his own people.
Trump is also correct that this is a tremendous humiliation for Putin.

Some recent ISIS attacks in eastern Syria might not really have been ISIS:

The really important thing about the next few days, aside from Russia abandoning its Syrian bases, will be the discoveries of all the Syrian records that demonstrate Russia's role in the countless war crimes Assad has committed.
It will be useful for the world to again be forced to confront the full extent of Putin's evil.

It's great that our intelligence agencies are so on top of the ball. This was published 30 minutes ago, at the same time rebels are posting pics of themselves approaching the presidential palace.
