I’m going a little overdrive the last few days, the reason being that events are accelerating, and at least up until the May 9th period, there is a high chance for big things to happen. So I’m going to be covering developments a little more intensely than usual.
WHY doesn't Russia use more thermobarics? The barbarians would. The US fire bombed and nuclear bombed defenseless civilians killing millions in Japan and Germany so they could have their "unconditional surrender". Even Stalin was appalled. Killed a quarter of the people in N Korea and dropped bombs in the sea as there was nothing left to bomb. This from a country that has never been invaded and it's women and children massecured.
Thank you for your frequent meticulous updates. There is so much crap flying around everywhere now it’s difficult to follow. The Wagner situation continues to puzzle. I guess we’ll soon see.
Unnerved, a wee bit. Breathe, inhale, exhale. The optics, nope, as this would feed the narrative, which narrative, I ask. Stay supremely grounded, God will guide, actions will commence. Glory to Mother Russia❤️🇷🇺💙
Pre-battle nerves. No matter what the battle start date, there will always be last minute preparations, nervousness, and triple checking. Outside of this the rest lays in God's hands and fate.
Bring it on! The Prigozhin drama, crying about ammo shortages was apparently a pysop. Russian fighting intensity is rising rapidly into real war mode now. Massive blows being delivered around the clock. Grind and pulverize, destroy the enemy. When the enemy is exhausted, go on the offensive and eliminate them as a fighting force.
I guess we'll know if Prigozhin's outbursts were a premeditated psyop or a genuine tirade against the RMoD by whether or not he faces any charges for it.
Russia must escalate on weaker nato territory(eastern europe for a start POL+3B+ROM), untill they have (nato EU), no infra, military, energy, even civilian deads + losses and the biggest fear of their life they will double down..nato will very quickly capitulate as public opinion will pressure EU political leaders as their assets + life, confort will be at risk for the first time since 1939-45.These nato EU people talk a lot but if real danger comes at home, they have 'no corones'. The already very fragile western financial system will collapse in hours, trillions will be wiped out, believe me their money is the only thing they care about. If Russia does not escalate, sorry I agree with Mark Sleboda (since 2014)it will never end.
I'm a little tired of Prigozhin always whining. If its not all an act then there had better be an accidental release of a fab 500 on his head once this is all over.
Right now it's not even good to think about Prigozhin, totally out of control. Which also certainly justified the transfer of General Mizintsev to Wagner by the MOD. What the dumb West insists on always seeing as a dismissal or demotion?! And apparently some Russians now too!
IMO, Ukraine is totally exhausted, even on the verge of collapse and has no chance of success during the counter-offensive. Just think how they will move the armored vehicles with the Russian air force waiting? And without armored vehicles even worse for the infantry! And I also believe that after crushing the counter-offensive, Russia goes on the offensive to end the SMO! And what is asked of a people and all supporters is unity! Unity! Anyway, I still don't believe any counter-offensive is possible with so much mud!
Most likely Ukraine is just trying to sabotage the victory day celebrations in Moscow with all sorts of asymmetric actions, PR, psyops and terrorist acts against civilians! It takes a lot of attention! Admittedly, Intel and the Russian MOD are fully aware of the ongoing operations in Ukraine. And it may even happen that the famous counteroffensive no longer manages to go beyond asymmetric operations. It is very difficult for Ukraine not to collapse emotionally after the fall of Bakhmut. Where they buried more than half of the forces in the last few months.
Of course Russia has been quietly amassing troops and equipment. Why wouldn't they? Only fools wouldn't think so. I reckon RF has the mother of all surprises in store and the Jookranian scum and NATO will literally shit their pants.
This is going to be the biggest military operation of this century.
I have no idea what's going on with Wagner. If that isn't over in the next 2 weeks he's probably being honest.
I think it's pretty clear that Russia is "winning" but once they deal with the Ukraine offensive the counter-punch needs to be devastating. I'm reminded of when Ender killed Stilson in Ender's game. When asked why he beat up the kid so badly he stated. "To stop all future fights from happening." If the Russians want NATO to stop future provocations the Russian military needs to end this conflict with a clear and decisive win to say it's in everyone's best interest to not provoke them anymore. A "muddle through" until an agreement is signed just means we do this again in 10 years.

One important fact stands out in this extremely informative and timely article: Russians give a shit about their citizens and Ukrainians not so much.

Doesnt make sense at all since if you can see you can hit. Unless Russia is truly out of missiles and bombs.
Wagner boss is right. Russia is waging a police action when the other side is in full war mode.
"According to Balitsky, all green spaces and plantings in these areas are now "clogged with Ukrainian equipment and personnel"

Larry Johnson had a very interesting take on Prigozhin "melt down" and what may really happening.
