"A Very Cold War Christmas" - A Late Show Animated Holiday Classic

[@jattikuukunen]

[@condorX2]

8 years of shelling by Ukrainian troops of territories that did not recognize the Nazi coup D'etat in 2014 with numerous casualties among civilians (14.000 people died). Shelling was carried out mainly non- military infrastructure facilities and villages in the hope of making life there unbearable and encouraging the local population to leave this territory. Their argument (words from a video from a Ukrainian soldier in a trench) is that there are no pro- Ukrainian residents there, pro-Ukrainian people have already left for Ukraine they are separatist, you can kill. All these steps, fatal for Ukraine were made under the influence of Western countries and led the war. Russia made all diplomatic overtures to prevent such a development of events. Minsk agreements ( these are concrete steps to resolve the conflict within Ukraine between the new UN resolution of February 17, 2015 No. S/ RES /2202(2015) adopted for mandatory execution) ignored by Ukraine. In December 2021, Russia send Requests to NATO and the US to ensure security for Russia- refusal from NATO and refusal from the US. The question is closed. Russia acted not just logically, but super logically- it began the process of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine in order to stop all threads. I think the US would not even bother to do so in such a situation and carried out such a thing even if there was a hint of threat. I draw this conclusion on the basis of all the pretexts for starting all military operations on the parts of the US over the past 60 years (and if you dig deeper you can unearth more than one case of far- fetched US military intervention in military conflicts around the world). Everyone remembers about 836(!!!!!!) US military bases around the world?836 Carl!!!. And already in mid-April 2022, in his interview with the BBC, Zelensky said that the country had begun preparing for a clash with Russia since December 2021. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed his(?) plans. According to him, Kyiv was preparing for clashes with Russia long before Moscow announced the start of a special operation. Judging by the state of the Ukrainian army and Zelensky's lack of independence, plans to start a war with Russia came from abroad. " We started this war even earlier", the head of the Ukrainian state said, referring to the beginning of the special operation of the Russian Federation. Thus, he indirectly admits his guilt in inciting the conflict with Russia. Zelensky called pumping Ukraine with Western weapons part of the preparation for the upcoming conflict. At the same time, in addition to public agreements with the US and NATO, Kyiv also conducted closed negotiation with them regarding military assistance. " We non-publicly agreed on certain supplies", ' the President of Ukraine admits in the same interview. This interview of the President of Ukraine, given by the BBC, interested Russian Investigators. Zelensky inadvertently blabbed about what he should have kept quiet about. The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to check the words of Zelensky. He believes that the statements of the Ukrainian leader may fall under the article on planning and preparing an aggressive war. Thus, we can conclude that Zelensky's curators are striving to create such conditions in Ukraine that are guaranteed to draw Russia into a military conflict. And the brother will begin to kill the brother ( historically, this is one people). This is ideal in the eyes of US. With his statement, he only confirm what Russian politicians and experts have always said: NATO was preparing Ukraine for war with Russia. That is, in fact, Zelensky framed his curators. Further more interesting. In April 2022 the US Congress approved the supply of weapons to Ukraine through Lend Lease, but this proposal was submitted for consideration( attention here!). January 19, 2022- almost a month before the start of Russia's special military operations. After all, than no one could predict the development of events. That is, the West was very interested in drawing Russia into the conflict, and he was preparing for this. Everything had already been calculated and the West was sure that Russia would intervene in response to military operations against the Donbass. Ukraine had to start. But Russia preempted it by only a few days,( judging from the documents that Russia got from the Ukrainian headquarters). Thus, many lives of civilians were saved." -R H 😎

@@condorX2 "The question is closed. Russia acted not just logically, but super logically- it began the process of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine in order to stop all threads." So the proxy war(s) were a "logical" reason for a full invasion of Ukraine? How is that 'super logical' move by Putin working for him? His military armament is completely depleted. His military personnel want nothing to do with his 'denazification' excuse BS. Putin's comrades will end him before they let him launch one nuke, because they are not crazy like your boy Putin. The question is closed: It was one of the biggest military blunders in history. -C M 😎

He and his men are training hard with allied forces just in case, but my niece tells me he is frustrated. In his combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan he never felt he was in a fight worth fighting, and now he is just over the border from a fight that he thinks is worth the risk and sacrifice of fighting, and he can't get in it.

"...is potato." I was waiting for it. Just this week, I met a refugee from Ukraine now living here in Japan with his family. They managed to get out just before the war kicked off in February, and now that he has been able to find a job doing translation, they have been sending back part of his salary each month to help their country.

"I'm made of children's dreams, be-otch!" I love Christmas specials where Santa is a badass.

Absolutely brilliant work, Merry Christmas and Slava Ukraine!

This is beautiful. Thank you Stephen and the entire crew for making us remember that anything is possible if you believe.

Mrs. Claus call sign "nutcracker standing by" OMG 🤣🤣🤣 Classic🤣🤣🤣

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

That was some production man. I think this could become its own little Christmas movie. I’d pay for this.

The incorporation of the running "Is potato" joke into this cartoon was nothing short of brilliant. (Oh, and I appreciate that 45 was absolutely nowhere to be found in it.)

Slava Ukraine! Oh my god that was amazing!

[@Dark_Brandon_2024]

This is truly a Christmas miracle, what a masterpiece!

[@bethanyk.5378]

This was so worth the wait, lol. The cracks about Biden's age citing much older conflicts/cultures/etc had me rolling.

[@tinag7381]

Love it! Spotted a little elf Tom Cruise in there! Brilliant writing and animation☆☆☆☆

[@danieleddie9847]

Hello Tina! Can I ask you a question?

[@shabumkinspleen1971]

That was brilliant, and strangely moving as well... I had a lump in my throat by the end... Weird! :D
