Shell production remains a big problem. Ukraine’s usage has been so high that it has been a challenge to not only produce more shells but find surplus stocks around the world.
x Frontline Ukrainian troops face shortages of artillery shells and have scaled back some military operations because of a shortfall of foreign assistance, Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavsky reports.

Can’t make them fast enough.
x Ukraine orders artillery ammunition from Rheinmetall to replenish stocks. The multi-million euro deal, includes various shell types for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and continues the framework agreement with the Bundeswehr.

I’d go with Option B — frag the commander.
x Summary of an intercepted phone call between a ChMobik and a friend back in Russia:

TG Channel "Radio Operator": «A ChMobik complains to a friend that his wife wants to leave him because "she couldn’t live like this anymore." He tells him that she said she was tired of having to decide all the issues herself, and that was not why she got married. She added that the money he sends her is still not enough for a wonderful life, especially since the payments are constantly delayed. And, she said she wants stability and confidence in the future, and not wait for a funeral from day to day while her friends and their husbands “live their best life.” The ChMobik then told his friend that he had asked the commander for leave to solve the family problems and convince his wife that she should not leave him. In response, the commander laughed in his face and said that he was generally surprised how long his wife put up with a jerk like him. The commander refused to let the orc go, saying that he wanted to give his wife a chance to finally get rid of him. The ChMobik does not know what to do and says he is thinking of shooting himself or shooting the commander.»
Russian drone operators don’t like being targeted and killed by Ukraine.
x The russians aren't happy with Ukraine targeting russian drone operators. Now many of the operators refuse to go to front out of fear of being smoked. pic.twitter.com/cbdHYltKoi — BroSINT 69™ (@osint_69) December 17, 2023
I confirm this text. According to information, our FPV drone operators are actually being knocked out,
for this reason many are refusing to go out. I especially liked the one about pissing and "now we'll burn the fuck out of everything.." and about FABS. Uhhhh, let's throw FABs and everyone will run away.. This is the second year of the war, and
the bullshit continues with a vengeance.

Andrew Perpetua’s take on the NYT article:
x Writing bullshit opinion pieces based on those interviews, as if they are some expert eyewitnesses, is idiotic. You have to actually do research. I know, guys, I know that means actually working for more than 2 hours to write your article. Man, imagine doing your fucking job. — Andrew Perpetua (@AndrewPerpetua) December 17, 2023
We have advisors to the fucking military who just go around interviewing people calling it research Its complete madness. This is the sorry ass state of affairs we found ourselves in. Where even the highest advisors aren't even doing the most basic research for their job. You end up with people in these echo chambers sniffing their own farts. Nothing gets done. Problems never get addressed. Nobody is ever challenged. Beliefs aren't shaken. Its just dooming and fart sniffing and calling yourself a fucking expert. Like, here is the spoiler, guys. If someone has to translate information to fit your worldview as a dooming fart sniffer in order to articulate a point to you, that means you fucked up. And there are so many accounts here on twitter that basically only exist to do just that. We're at a point where, instead of using normal reasoned logic to talk to each other, we have to sit in a circle brain storming which combinations of farts will get through some advisor's head. This is what the state of our shitty ass journalism has lead us to. Its infuriating.
Must be those high-quality North Korean shells.
No doubt the attitude is why bother providing medical treatment to cannon fodder? Just load them up with meth and send them to die for the glory of Mother Russia.
x Russian Shtorm-Z units mostly comprising convict recruits are being deployed with untreated injuries, exacerbating the strain on both military and home units, per UK intelligence.

The Finns? We love them. They are our best friends, duped by NATO. We have always been friendly. There was that little disagreement back in 1940, but it’s not like we invaded them, killed thousands of their soldiers and stole their land.
x Vladimir Putin says he's surprised that "Finland was dragged into NATO" as they had the most "heartfelt, warmest relationship". He genuinely doesn't see the reason. "Nonsense", he says. pic.twitter.com/SUhNTSV0Xf — WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated) December 17, 2023
This is what I look like when I go to the local Super Late Model dirt track and stand right behind the fence.

Putin draws an opponent.
She has a truly radical agenda — peace and understanding.
She says Russia spends too much on the military instead of on making life better for average Russians. She urges tolerance for other nationalities and religions.
She says people are afraid of speaking freely, of being denounced. She said that she is scared to run for president but could not keep silent any longer.
I predict a long prison sentence in her future.
x Ekaterina Duntsova, 40, from Tver region, editor-in-chief of the local TV studio, local politician and mom of three, has announced her candidacy for the Russian presidential "elections" next spring.

Happy Birthday to Uncle Joe, who turns 145 today. I’m sure he’s partying big time down in hell with Mao and Pol Pot. Putin is trying hard to top Stalin’s record of mass murder, but Stalin has a record that is unlikely to be broken short of a nuclear holocaust.
x On this day in 1878, the mentally ill and paranoid Joseph Stalin was born
Stalin, the leader of the Communist Party, was one of the most brutal dictators and a genocidal murderer in human history.

This Stone Age rhetoric sounds like something you’d hear at a CPAC convention. The tweet is quoted below.

The following quotations are from the article The Russian Family as the Basis of Domestic Statehood in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Among the authors: an MP of the State Duma, an expert of the center for "national security", a foundation for the promotion of science and education, a law institute, and the director of a clinical sanatorium. It is obvious that these people understand both science and politics. * "Take only virgins as wives. For it has already been proven by science that a woman gives birth to her first man all her subsequent life." * "First of all, the trace of every man who has been inside a woman's body remains with her forever on a biological (sperm) or wave level (if there is a contraceptive)." * "Every man who has injected his sperm into a woman's body stays in her body forever. Americans have investigated all the ways sperm can enter a woman's body. If it's in the mouth, it swims in and makes its way into the nasal passages, into the inner ear and behind the eyes. That's where it penetrates deeper. It gets into the blood and collects in the brain and spinal cord." * "In Russia, the Slavic genotype in young people has practically disappeared. Which is a consequence of the pre-marital sex life of Russian women with international men." * "Russian men and Russian women have begun to destroy human embryos in mass in the "God's dwelling place " — a woman's uterus." * "Russians brought civilization to many peoples on virtually every continent of the Earth. A native of the Russian tribe, known as the prophet Mohammed, wrote the Koran for the Arabs."
Another video appeal to Putin that I’m sure will result in immediate corrective action (insert eye rolling emoji here).
