It’s all going as planned.
The National Welfare Fund decreased by 1.22 trillion rubles in December, to 11.88 trillion rubles
Moscow. January 16. INTERFAX.RU - The volume of the National Welfare Fund (NWF) as of January 1, 2025 amounted to 11 trillion 879 billion 972.7 million rubles (equivalent to $116.837 billion), or 6.2% of the GDP projected for 2024, the Russian Ministry of Finance reported.
As of December 1, it amounted to 13 trillion 096 billion 719.1 million rubles (equivalent to $121.558 billion), or 6.8% of GDP. Thus, in December it decreased by 1.217 trillion rubles.
In December, part of the NWF funds in the accounts at the Bank of Russia in the amounts of 55 billion 488.4 million Chinese yuan and 58.957 tons of gold in impersonal form were sold for 1.3 trillion rubles. The proceeds were credited to a single account of the federal budget for the purpose of financing its deficit. The use of the fund’s resources is fully consistent with the planned indicators for this year.

Just watched a decent movie - It had this line in it that sums up war:
> Wars are planned by the elite, the dumb will die in it, and the opportunists benefit from it.

Israel is making off with Syrian kit, including tanks. Which would be of no use to them. Should be sent to Ukraine.

Some Blitzer will know what sort of tank that is. It is a good possibility that it is a RU model. How delicious the irony would be if it was donated to UA and then used in action against the RUAF.

Looks like it’s a T-72 or derivative of. Definitely Russian / Ukrainian made.

"I was brought up in the Soviet Union in the belief that when peaceful people are attacked by an evil and cruel aggressor, one should take up arms and go to fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon, help those who are fighting and encourage others to do so.
All my publicistic activity is a call to go to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to help it with weapons and ammunition. I see myself as a participant in the armed confrontation with the aggressor. There’s my small part in the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders. And I take responsibility for each destroyed occupier.
No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it.
Putin’s Nazi regime attacked Ukraine. Exclusively because of the megalomania of its leaders, because of the inhuman thirst for power over everything around them.
They assert themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are bastards, scumbags, Nazi scum.
The guilt of Putin’s Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing and waging a war of aggression is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance to the aggressor on the battlefield and in the rear of the aggressor does not need proof. Yes, and it would be ridiculous to expect such a confession from a regime that throws people in prison just for words of moral condemnation of aggression. All possibilities of legal protest against Putin’s Russian aggression have been destroyed.
My calls for armed resistance to the aggressor authorities qualify under the article on terrorism. I will not argue with the authorities of the aggressor, even if they will qualify my actions under article about pedophilia. The court in Russia has long ago proved that it is an appendage of Nazi tyranny and it is pointless to seek justice from it. I will never stand before these people – servants of murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to argue with them about. Let the guns speak to them for me.
I see no point in arguing with the puppets of a dictatorship about how faithfully they apply their laws. They are in any case the laws of a totalitarian state designed to suppress dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not obey them.
Nor will I appeal against any decisions and actions of the Nazi authorities. I do not need the favor of my armed adversary.
Putin’s dictatorship can kill me, but it cannot make me give up fighting it. And wherever I am, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I will continue to call for strikes on military facilities deep inside Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will prove the necessity of military defeat of the new Hitler’s regime.
Putin is new Hitler, a ghoul mad with impunity, drunk on blood. And I will never tire of repeating, “Destroy the bastard!”
Death to Putin, murderer, tyrant and bastard!
Death to the Russian fascist invaders!
Glory to Ukraine!"
