Let’s begin with the tragic event that has eclipsed everything else: a large terrorist attack on a packed Friday night shopping center at the outskirts of Moscow. But while there are many dead, and the event is clearly momentous, there is actually not much of

⚠️All four perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Crocus have been found and arrested. Great works by Russian security services and the Army, credit to quick response from Chechen troops.
⚠️The attackers on the Crocus hall were brought to the building of the central office of the Investigative Committee.

⚠️A Dubbed Version of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Full-Speech from earlier this morning, in which he discusses the Terrorist Attack last night against the Crocus Concert Hall in Moscow while also claiming that the Attack is somehow Linked to Ukraine and that the Terrorists were attempting to Flee over the Ukrainian Border.
Major terrorist attack, another oil refinery hit, and belgrod attacked all at the same time. Yet Russia still won't remove the gloves and fight a real war. What is Russia afraid of? How many terrorist attacks on civilians are they going to allow?

If Russia is only now creating a Dniper River Brigade, that means months for retrofitting it and training it. Not enough time to beat France to Odessa.
From my point of view, it was stated that the terrorists wore camouflage. I never seen ISIS wearing camouflage when doing such an operation in the open. I now agree it had something to do with the Ukrainians. Just my opinion. I agree with Simplicius.
Macron has really shot himself in the foot with all his bellicose warnings of putting in French troops- in large number and officially.
AS IF......!!
When the Ukrainians realise they have been 'had' by an effort to keep them fighting on their ownsomes, France will experience a kickback all of its own.
The tide of this war is about to turn, and it will turn from an attack on Russia to an attack on those whom the Ukrainians are just coming to realise exploited them, were the ones really responsible for the destruction of their country, and sent a generation to a pointless death. If they really think NATO is going to come in now with ground troops and air support to wade around in this blood and guts disaster, I have as Alex says, 'a bridge to sell them'.
The war is entering a dangerous new phase and that danger is not to Russia despite the terrible Moscow slaughter of civilians to no higher military end, but to the western backers, and further to this, the attack on Moscow has opened up a dangerous new front AGAINST the west directly.
The theatre incident in Moscow will only serve to strengthen Russian resolve. Putin is thinking several levels ahead of the Western woke and incompetent leadership. Russia, under Putin, is playing the long game because he knows the West is crumbling with a poignant statement "The Western vampire ball is crumbing". And he knows that we know it as well, "I have a feeling that the ordinary citizens of the West who feel it in their bones know what is happening in reality and our struggle for independence and true sovereignty nurtures their hopes for their nation's independent development and sovereignty. It's all being accelerated by the Western government's desire to keep the existing status quo and unjust state of international affairs". What a quote. If the man knows what we're thinking I'm sure he knows quite well what they're thinking. Putin is a strategic genius with a long game while Macaroni, Zelensky, Biden and Trudeau are too busy destroying their own countries to really think about anything beyond woke, impulse, and self-defeating strategies. Best wishes from Canada, Mr. Putin.
I'm so excited about it I have given up reading halfway through and come here to protest. I can't believe that Russia (the Allies I prefer to call them simply for the sake of reminding casual onlookers that 10 million Donbas Ukrainians exist and this is NOT just a matter of 'russia attacking ukraine' ) would even attempt to take Odessa.
Madness at any time, surely? Equivalent to a perpetuate D-day in WWII.
But in spades this time because of modern IFR warfare with drones.
In short seaborne supply is out of the question. Pending technological developments of some kind warships are obsolete. But to create a land bridge that long in something less than a year or two?
With every dirty bastard in 30 nations trying to think up dirty tricks to bring them undone?
That's just making things hard for yourself isn't it?
Get him by the balls and he'll give you what you want.
Threaten to take Kiev etc. and make the peace negotiations begin.
And an Odessa referendum to be honoured is part of the settlement.
Odessa will vote for Russia.
No doubt.
I can't see that Odessa needs to be taken. It IS Russian. So I guess the point is I can't see that it needs to be militarily liberated. It can better be politically liberated.
Surely?
jesus. I just came back with an edit to add some more after checking the facts on google earth. cross the dnipro and you've still got four more significant waterways to cross and a bottleneck to get into Odessa. Absolutely out of the question.
You think that this is the worst what could happened…and then…… something worse just come about…… Anyway, I think the last sentence really sums up all: “It’s times like these which separate the ‘liberals’ from the patriots and will further solidify Russia’s patriotic core.” Thank you, Simplicius.

Escobar now reports that regular French, German and Polish troops are entering the Ukraine...https://westernrifleshooters.us/2024/03/22/well-that-sure-raises-the-temperature/
Russia has promised to priority target such groups....
Ukraine has been running out of ammo and troops for a year now. Starting to think its BS
If Russia is only now creating a Dniper River Brigade, that means months for retrofitting it and training it. Not enough time to beat France to Odessa.
From my point of view, it was stated that the terrorists wore camouflage. I never seen ISIS wearing camouflage when doing such an operation in the open. I now agree it had something to do with the Ukrainians. Just my opinion. I agree with Simplicius.
It's amazing how quickly Washington was able to say it wasn't done by Ukraine.
Thanks for your great work Simplicius! I share your link on our blog.
