The Biden administration is pushing a $5 billion "surge" in military aid to Ukraine before the January transition. The hosts characterize this as a "Christmas bonus" for defense contractors like Raytheon. They also note that "Mockingbird Media" outlets have returned to the front lines in Ukraine to satisfy the demands of their military-industrial sponsors.

Ukraine reportedly launched British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russia's Kursk region, targeting the town of Maryino. While the UK and Ukrainian governments have not officially confirmed the strikes, Russian military bloggers and circulating videos suggest multiple missiles hit their targets. The U.S. also authorized the use of anti-personnel landmines to slow Russian advances as tensions escalate.
