What's Happening

What's the big story? While there was widespread fighting, it was mostly limited to light infantry engaging in positional battles.

What's the second story? The fallout from the November 26-27 megastorm continues, including radioactive beaches in occupied Mariupol and destroyed Russian defenses in occupied Crimea and the Russian Black Sea coast.

Where's the damn podcast?

That is 100% on me. I am steadfast in no more work after 01:00 hours local time, and yesterday's SITREP wasn't complete until shortly after 01:00 hours. That means no one to sign off on the script. Working on a solution. The challenge is as more and more OSINT accounts give up, get deleted by social media, or are canceled for the right or wrong reasons, the intelligence gathering for us keeps getting longer and longer. Israel-Hamas has not been an issue for the last week due to the cease-fire.
