Alexander Soros is not an elected or appointed government official. Are leaders that compromised or out of touch that they still meet with him and let him post their pictures on social media? Anytime he and Blinken show up, death and destruction are soon to follow.
Correct. Not an elected or appointed government official.
Thus no taboos in terms of international relationships, i.e. "we are not like that" so we won't take out Zelensky because he is an official head of state, should apply. If the other side is assassinating journalists and not-quite-high-ranking officials, and is doing huge terrorist acts such as Crocus Hall, what is the Kremlin waiting for and why hasn't it started going after the likes of this scumbag?
Deterrence will not be reestablished until the Western elites are seriously afraid for their own physical survival, and at this point I am not even sure if nuking their cities is enough to instill such fear (they will have presumably evacuated to their safe doomsday bases in the Southern hemisphere before the warheads detonate).
More importantly, why haven't WE started disposing of these monsters ourselves? It's not Russia's job to kill our tyrants, except insomuch as doing so benefits Russia.
Deterrence applies here as well. Why do Western "leaders" continue to act disgustingly contrary to their populations' wishes? Because they can, and barely a finger has been lifted in true opposition. If they faced real consequences for their actions maybe they would temper their base urges, but they don't, so they don't.
Much like the paradoxically titled NGO’s taking up[ the mantle of Alphabet Meddling, private citizens with the means can do much the same. Oh you are “retired”? Well then hop right aboard this gravy train. We will request only a few things ….
That young Soros will be a menace to society for decades to come. Hopefully the coming EU-voting will give some more Anti-Soros delegates and legalisation against ”foreign agents” in every European country. A meeting with Mr. Isk Ander remains a futile dream.
I dont know about Soros involvement in a jewish plan. All I know is that he has undermined many of the virtues and morale in the West. The old Soros was evil in many aspects. The new one will certainly try to do his best. The Kabbala thing with red strings on handwrist…. I havent seen Putin with one, but Tucker Carlson - astonishing indeed. Or some provocations? I deem Putin from actions - and what I have seen, he wants the best out of Russia.
You cannot believe "voting" will do a damm thing! Maybe you see something I do not, it seems to me that whatever choice is offered is the same? In fact, it appears we have more and more politicians who are willing to say anything before an election and once it is done, do the opposite. Look at what happened in Italy, that woman has done exactly what she said she was against and the people do nothing. My country (US) the source of most evil is an even bigger joke. The elections are total BS they control and count the votes so they laugh and say out loud we will do whatever we want and still win and they do.
I do recognize your frustration with the so called democratic process in the West. But it is all we have. I think some countries will tilt to a anti-US stance. You have it Hungary and Slovakia. You can have it in France and Germany to. Sure, the hidden hand will always put some controllable creature as PM, but you should not underestimate the citizens true will.
So after reading your comments, you prescribe to the "hope" strategy. In spite of your eyes and ears telling you facts and figures you "hope" things will magically get better. "The West" is burning, Germany and France will attack their own citizens (it is happening now) economically before they cross their master. The US is bankrupt and are flooding the world with worthless paper which is beginning to crash the biggest ponzi scheme ever. The only countries that will escape a real catastrophe are BRICS. IF they can get off the dollar. The only question is how fast does this happen?
I prescribe that people get themselves informed of what is actually happening outside their MSM-yolk and that they, albeit slow, make resistance. No need to cherry-pic or resort to attacking me - you also know the real enemy.
If Soros were pulling his crap in Russia, somebody would have shot him in the head by now. Soros and his son Alexander. And confiscated all his money from these organizations of his.
This actually is a copy/paste of something I have written elsewhere:
Democracy, as a practical matter, is basically an exercise in passing the buck, in avoiding responsibility. The technical term for this is a "beard".
Everyone in power claims to answer to and derive their authority from someone else, going ultimately back to "the people" who themselves do not directly exercise power, and who would find it difficult to exercise as a collective action problem, even if they had the formal authority to do so.
What this means is that real power is often in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, who typically don't even want to stand for election because they don't want the voters to know what their programs are, much less to exercise any oversight. Robert Moses is the classic example here.
Even that minimal level of scrutiny is too much for some, and real power is often exercised by people not formally part of any government structure. Corporate lobbyists or Robert Kagan come to mind. For that matter, Donald Trump's grip on Team R can also be cited as an example.
We are seeing what will amount to the final phase of the Russian SMO. In some ways this does resemble the situation that Germany experienced around 1944 to 1945.
However it will have bigger implications than Ukraine. I would not be surprised if in the coming years, we see the simultaneous breakup of the EU and NATO. They may continue their pretenses in name but the idea that they are unified or are anything but a declining global power is going to be impossible to hide. It's just that the rich political class have too many high paying jobs to do anything else but to continue the grift.
For China, it may set the stage for its reunification and for the mainland Chinese, liberation of Taiwan with a much humbled US. Economically, the future of China is looking bright and the Chinese are beginning to overtake the Western world in technology as well.
The US is looking at continued declines and a loss of reserve currency status. Keep in mind that the US itself is not on stable economic ground and the trends of de-dollarization and US decline will continue. Neither main party can solve the problems of the US and the mood of the American people are getting angrier with Washington. That could lead to major political change at some point in the future, maybe even a USSR-like breakup.
As for Russia, I think that it's clear from Putin and his appointments that he is setting the stage for a future Russia beyond the SMO. He wants to make sure that Russia wins not just the SMO, but the peace after.
Ultimately, this is where this neocon plot ends. The West sought to break up Russia and steal its natural resources. From lying about NATO expansion, to the interfering in Russia to get Yeltsin again, to broken nuclear disarmament treaties to Maidan, this is where it ends. With the plotter getting defeated.
Actually, while losing reserve currency status will be extremely painful at first, it really is the only way the U.S. can begin to heal economically. It will, IMHO, force a currency reset; and not only for us. As a planet, we need to get back on some sort of gold standard. anything less just leaves a foundation of sand. And no, I'm not "talking my book".
The gold market seems to be thinking the same way, and central banks are aggressively buying this "relic" along with the public....Silver, the metal used in everyday transactions, is also getting bought aggressively.....
>In some ways this does resemble the situation that Germany experienced around 1944 to 1945
Here is one other very important similarity - a nuclear armed USA had Nazi Germany's back in 1945, and met the Soviets long before they could reach the Atlantic.
It was a huge strategic defeat for the USSR back then, it is much much worse now if the same is allowed to happen 1,500 km further east.
Very much resembles the Confederate States in 1865. Putin just needs to find a Grant or Sherman who will stop playing coy and kick the rotting hut down before little Napoleon or some other Western idiot does something stupid that lights the fuse for global war.
The Soviets spent a year recovering Ukraine from the Nazis, and that with several million men and total war mobilization like never seen before or since.
People are excited about the "rapid" advance of the last five days, but the reality is that it is "rapid" in the sense that 10 kilometers in five days is much much faster than 10 kilometers in five months. In absolute terms it is still snail's pace.
And nobody seems to have any intention to really reduce the other side's fighting capacity.
It would be great to see Kiev pressured again, but what is really needed is a 100K force to move down south from Brest in Belarus and seal the Polish border.
Do we need to list the endless strikes that should have been carried out on transport infrastructure, Ukrainian MIC objects, NATO bases inside Ukraine, Ukrainian military and governmental officials, and, most importantly, the border crossings with NATO, that were never carried out?
Ben Hodges, clown as he is, regularly mocks the Russians for never interdicting a single convoy with materiel coming from Poland. Maybe they did hit some, but given the sheer amount of NATO weaponry that is killing Russians on the eastern fronts, it is clearly pathetically insufficient.
Then there is the matter of the NATO drones directing real time strikes. Like the one that just happened on Belbek that has destroyed who knows how many Su-27s. The Houthis have shot down half a dozen of these, Iran has no qualms about shooting them down, yet Putin, sitting on the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, is turning the other cheek (and spreading the other cheeks) and asking for more punishment...
And it's not even the armor and missiles that is the biggest problem. Right now nobody has a technological solution against the drones. The only real solution is to stop their import into Ukraine. Has any attempt been made to do that kinetically? No.
It is amazing how theoretical Generals/Military Strategists conjure mirages in the sand.
"Do we need to list the endless strikes that should have been carried out on transport infrastructure, Ukrainian MIC objects, NATO bases inside Ukraine, Ukrainian military and governmental officials, and, most importantly, the border crossings with NATO, that were never carried out?"
It is apparent Russia wants to test and gain knowledge of all Western/Nato toys, of every kind, from this Ukraine swamp. Presuming Russians are dolts armed with shovels and vodka is another great strength gifted to Russia by Cowards in Suits inside the comfy chairs in DC, London and Brussels.
Dunno. The Russians have been attriting the Ukrainian army for a year and half. There isn't much left. Anyone can see plainly that there just isn't much fight left in Ukraine,
I see the shills are still shilling. Russia is not in a race to capture territory, that comes later. This is a war of attrition, in which time is on Russia's side as they grind down the AFU & NATO while holding key territories and slowly advancing.
NATO in control. You spout a lot of stupid nonsense, but that statement takes the cake.
A close second, absolutely a race to capture territory. Only America/NATO/Ukraine is fixated on this- so they have something to post online so they can "prove" how they are "winning".
The best thing to come out of this zionist american proxy war is the economic & societal collapses in Europe & America.
"It was a huge strategic defeat for the USSR back then"
Silly me, I thought the objective of the Allies, which included the Soviets, was to defeat Germany.
Without the Soviets keeping Hitler's best divisions tied up on the Eastern Front, D-Day would have had about the same impact as the British designed slaughter of Canadians at Dieppe.
>Silly me, I thought the objective of the Allies, which included the Soviets, was to defeat Germany.
Then you don't understand anything about the war.
D-Day had very little to do with defeating Germany, at that point the Soviets had that taken care of. But without D-Day, all of Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, perhaps northern Italy too, would have been communist. Scandinavia as well.
The purpose of D-Day was to prevent that. And the alliance with the Nazis was reestablished (in the 1930s US capital was deeply intertwined with them) long before the war officially ended.
Same thing in Italy. Ever wondered how the Americans got past the Alps so easily when that should have been an impenetrable barrier even with the greatly diminished German forces? They made a deal so that the Germans could send their forces to stop the Soviets in Austria. That was explicitly agreed on. Late 1944/early 1945...
In the end the Soviets ended up with the destroyed and already very poor to begin with Eastern Europe, while the US got Western Europe largely intact (aside from the destruction in Germany). The Soviets then had to rebuild themselves, and industrialize Eastern Europe, all of that while having to deal with a whole generation being wiped out. While the capitalists had suffered barely any casualties.
Stalin considered the war a loss and was in a deeply foul mood for the rest of his life. Always remember that.
Presumably he knew better than both of us, don't you agree?
i`m sorry actually you don`t, Germany finished paying back reconstruction loans in the nineties or even later and both Germany and Japan are almost de facto colonies of the us; in France things got a bit stalled by de Gaulle but it seems that is in the past now.
GoBearsZ(!) It's our liberation, too .... here in the USA. Russia is a working model of the changes we need to make here ... Putin and his inner circle, an example of the kind of leadership we should demand for the USA.
An interesting comment. Honestly, a version of Putin's shake-up in bringing in younger, more energetic and perhaps less corrupt people (a rapid generational change) might serve the US well -- bring in people with better ideas, better motivation, less corruption. Trump talked change but failed miserably at it. Somebody younger, or somebody more radical (like Kennedy) might shake the cobwebs out of the DC political class.
"Somebody younger, or somebody more radical (like Kennedy) might shake the cobwebs out of the DC political class."
That was tried already. The results came in on November 22, 1963.
Most of the US government, including its Congress, SCOTUS, Executive and the Intelligence community is driven now by Jewish influence (since Kennedy, BTW) either directly by occupying a physical space in government or indirectly by payment of cash to get something done. It is that mess that needs cleaning before the US has any chance at all of re-establishing a viable republic.
This can be accomplished by elimination the Zionist nation of Israel and replacing it with a democratic republic with a new name "Palestine" that represents the indigenous population.
I would respectfully suggest a minor adjustment to one thing: "the Chinese are beginning to overtake the Western world in technology as well."
I don't think the Chinese are beginning to overtake, they've at a minimum already reached parity and in many areas have exceeded the Western world in technology. Good examples are China's profoundly more advanced capability in 5G and greater communications technology and Chinese mastery of microprocessor design and manufacture.
The world's most advanced microprocessors are made in factories financed by, built, owned, and operated by Chinese people. That the current flagship of such factories happens to be in Taiwan, doesn't change the fundamental role of either China or the Chinese, as the owners of that factory have most of their industrial assets on the mainland. The flow of intellectual capability and investment within Chinese people is completely and totally fungible: Chinese who are thought of as "Taiwanese" by Westerners are the biggest investors in the world in mainland China. It's *their* China and not some foreign land.
You can see some of that in action in the Chinese response to US attempts artificially to divide a single Chinese people into two sorts of Chinese: one sort carefully kept on the plantation in Taiwan and the other sort condemned to some sort of jungle outside the US's beneficent fief. When the US sought to damage China by restricting China's access to Chinese microprocessor technology, China simply began construction on ten or twenty new facilities at the scale and sophistication of TSMC's flagship facility in Taiwan. China's new efforts have already yielded spectacular new microprocessors, like those the US felt would be "impossible to produce" for Huawei's new flagship smartphones.
Just saying, it's a myth that the Chinese are playing catch up, or that they have to steal or knock off technology the West develops. The West has become rotten. It's not like the old days when people in the West could say, "oh, that's OK, the Chinese can build stuff but we create the designs." That's long gone. The Chinese now are creating the designs as well.
One last thing: an often overlooked aspect of the very deep partnership between Russia and China is that Russia is by far the world leader in theory, algorithms and the thinking aspect of innovation. Where Russia has been weak (and still is behind) is the industrial base. But China has a huge industrial base. While China's applied engineering is getting better and better, it is still relatively weak compared to Russia in theory, algorithms and such. Combining Russia's very strong theory with China's very strong implementation is a very natural partnership.
That's already happening in communications, where China's leading telecom companies like Huawei have huge research facilities in Russia. Russian math gods and physics gods are doing the radio electronic theory and the Chinese are building the communications devices, a really successful partnership.
I have heard that China has also been vacuuming key TSMC talent for the last few hears by paying them crazy salaries to relocate to Shanghai, as they both speak Mandarin
Consistent with the Illusion that is the USA, Biden just put 100% tariffs on Made-in-China, EV's, aluminum and steel. Conveniently for China, all these products now have a Made-in-Mexico label, so come into the USA at Zero Tariff.
Sir, I would respectfully ask that at some point you write regarding your personal opinion of Mr. Putin and his motivations and beliefs….we read many different accounts about him…for example, he is mega based and is a defender of the European culture, while other accounts portray him as just another GloboHomo shill who is wholeheartedly behind the unchecked third world invasions of Europe and North America…
Since you've said that, let's add the notion that these wars are themselves proxy wars among various exoplanetary i.e. off-world factions. As the container for everything you're saying.
Not a hard bar to clear given that there have only been three of them in its whole history, one of them being the drunkard traitor Yeltsin and the other Medvedev, with Putin as the shadow president.
MOD spokesman Konashenkov has NOT resigned. Fake news which spread like a wildfire by ignoramuses and haters.
Personally, as someone who listened to MOD reports presented by him as early as RU Syria campaign, I very much like his professional style and straightforward presentation. I believe he doesn't write the reports but he does a great job as a speaker.
Thanks, I updated. Some of the other 'resignations' are likewise not confirmed and is now looking like potentially an information attack. However, the arrest of Kuznetsov and his underlings are confirmed and still represent an unprecedented purge coupled with the recent Ivanov takedown. Not to mention that others connected to Kuznetsov are alleged to be in the crosshairs for potential takedown as well, like Goremykin.
Indeed, it's quite the nest. My point though is that someone like Konashenkov is not in position to play these corrupt games unlike Kuznetsov and Ivanov who were clearly sitting on huge cashflows and became greedy over years. And it was known for years to everyone—remember that every RU citizen on service have to fill the declaration of revenue and property holding as well as owned vehicles (for the whole family). So this corruption was quite clear. My guess is that the only problem was to figure out who to replace these guys with as over years they did their best to push away any opponents who may jump in their profitable places. And a strong moment to do so was also necessary. BTW I don't think that Shoigu was corrupt, otherwise he would not receive a higher post (in security council in place of very respected Mr. Patrushev). Shoigu inherited already a corrupt machine and, considering how SMO turned up in regards of weapons/ammunition/vehicles production, he did a great job (same as he did in his previous positions in his long career).
The story of Putin's government reshuffle holds center stage. Even the pro-Russia people tell a lot of lies and people buy it as usual. In particular "corruption" which always goes great with the populace to justify removals, transfers, or trials. To date, more than 200 officials have been removed from the MoD. It is the showdown that Putin wanted and needed to have, and he waited until he had consolidated his power and consensus. There have always been 2 systems of power in Russia. One refers to the MoD and the other to the KGB (now FSB) GRU system. Until Stalin and even beyond, the GRU system was the one with the real command. The MoD then always grew and from Brezhnev onwards the conflict became acute and the powers became equal. The turning point was Afghanistan where the GRU was strongly against military intervention, but the MoD prevailed. It must be said that in the planned economy those 2 systems managed entire regions not only for the military part but also for a good part of the civil one, from railways, to schools, to public buildings etc... Similarly, the GRU FSB where it retained pre-eminence . The pattern at the regional level then remained, albeit diminished. With the fall of the USSR, the MoD largely prevailed. Yeltsin was their puppet. The GRU FSB then made a coup, which saved Russia, and put its representative, i.e. Putin. Who had to coexist with the MoD while also having many other priorities in a destroyed Russia, but he already had a showdown in mind then, also because possible dangers to his power certainly do not come from Navalny or similar clowns, nor from West, but from the Mod.
This was politics. The Biden administration is in reelection mode. Blinken's performance wasn't a bad photo op. On the other hand Neil Young must've been puking his guts out.
Blinken is in no danger himself, and cares nothing about the dumb scrotes that he condemns to death, any more than he lies awake worrying about the poor animals that go into "Chicken McNuggets".
Blinken does want to project an image that all is under control, the situation is being managed. Such people are always performing.
Has there ever, in history, been a more despicable and embarrassing American Secretary of State (Declaring as he arrives in the territory of one war-crime-committing recipient of our tax dollars, "I'm here not as an American, but as a Jew...." and visiting the other corrupt cess-pool of American dollars to play guitar in a bar) than Blinken?
Ok, Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, and a couple others. How about: is there any other international diplomat today as deplorable as Blinken?
Thought I remembered his quote--but it was a paraphrase. Pretty much the same message, though. That's what the Israelis hear--a fellow chosen one dissing America and pledging fealty to their country.
Exactly what Abarbanel's article warns is happening. (Thanks for the link.)
That is a historic gaffe Mr Blinken made in singing in a Kyiv bar. Even the pro Ukr accounts are decrying it. I can't believe he did that. Do they not have any adults available to control these buffoons? Will he do the same thing in Tel Aviv? Or is Georgia his next gig.
I don't know how anyone in Georgia can look at what the west has done to Ukraine and then say "Oh yeah! That's what we need here!" Except if you're a corrupt politician or some one like that.
"there are now rumors that Surovikin has finally arrived in Moscow, for real this time—or so Rybar claims; a meeting in the Kremlin was allegedly being carried out"
Oh no, Rybar again. It's a fake news again as even the Soloviev Live (the hoster of Rybar TV episodes) replied that it's a fake and Surovikin is actually in Algeria right now (and it's clear that he's leading RU Africa corps which is mostly ex-Wagner which he has very good relations with, there is no point to take him to other roles).
Previously I have already mentioned that Rybar's owner, Mr. Zvinchuk, is a BS writer who doesn't shy to spread CIPSO propaganda and which reports are almost always biased in a pro-UKR way (though lately. considering how well the situation turned in RU favor on the battlefield, they are unable exaggerate UKR successes and downplay RU successes). He straight up mixes actual OSINT data (which made him popular in the first months of the SMO) with lies and fantasies (such as "there were 30 ATACMS missiles hitting Crimea", yes, always in a confident manner). makes stupid suggestions (presenting himself as someone important who has power to influence someone; his "suggestions" are always ignored), and he practically never corrects himself. Please note that he has no military security clearance to know these things (and he served only as a military translator in Syria), and if he did he would not have said a word. That applies to practically every military blogger in RU, I'm sick that many people don't realize that they're just grifters.
Sadly Dima also simply parrots whatever he reads from Rybar and other bloggers who, again, have no military clearance and just play the hype game while earning money from ads (if not being directly funded via cryptocurrency by foreign agencies).
Consider the fact that Mr. Belousov's nomination to become the minister of defense was a shocking surprise to EVERY military blogger and analyst. It's clear that RU are well-capable of keeping government secrets and security. There are no leaks or rumors (unless intentional in some cases, it's an infowarfare aspect of the art of war). Compare that to UKR where rumors of high level personnel shuffling are circulated a whole month ahead and end up being 99% accurate—as happened with their MOD and military top (general staff and command of brigades) and even SBU/GUR.
How do people imagine this actually works in practice?
Surovikin is in some kind of exile for a year, then he just comes back, meets with Putin and is handed the command over a do-or-die operation that is just about to start? Which he has presumably had no part of the planning and preparation of given that he had been in exile? These things take many months to work out and set in motion, command is to be assumed before that preparation even starts, not when it is over...
Hey GM how come you never happy ? You only see a negative in everything .
Actually this writing of Simplicius is uplifting and positive , finally some progress , the bums are out the good guys in . They may be performing very well , even you may be impressed . You must be a grumpy old man .
In real life only the later counts, there are no points given for effort and partial success.
The reality is that the war is no longer in the Kremlin's hands due to the last two years of indecisiveness, cowardice, and delusional thinking. Quite possibly some treachery too.
One hopes you will disappear and never be heard from again when your arrogant bullshit is exposed by the reality of Russia crushing your precious NATO and erasing Ukraine from the map and the zionists dreams.
That's true. In the beginning I followed his reports closely but over time saw so many inaccuracies that now I don't even bother subscribing to his channel anymore. However, I wasn't certain if this time the Surovikin rumor actually originated from him or he was just reporting it. Either way, with African Corps troops allegedly taking part in the Kharkov assault, according to the AFU on the ground themselves, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Surovikin could be involved but for now there remains no proof of anything.

The US is looking at continued declines and a loss of reserve currency status. Keep in mind that the US itself is not on stable economic ground and the trends of de-dollarization and US decline will continue. Neither main party can solve the problems of the US and the mood of the American people are getting angrier with Washington. That could lead to major political change at some point in the future, maybe even a USSR-like breakup.
As for Russia, I think that it's clear from Putin and his appointments that he is setting the stage for a future Russia beyond the SMO. He wants to make sure that Russia wins not just the SMO, but the peace after.
Ultimately, this is where this neocon plot ends. The West sought to break up Russia and steal its natural resources. From lying about NATO expansion, to the interfering in Russia to get Yeltsin again, to broken nuclear disarmament treaties to Maidan, this is where it ends. With the plotter getting defeated.
Actually, while losing reserve currency status will be extremely painful at first, it really is the only way the U.S. can begin to heal economically. It will, IMHO, force a currency reset; and not only for us. As a planet, we need to get back on some sort of gold standard. anything less just leaves a foundation of sand. And no, I'm not "talking my book".
You should probably write one though. 😊
HAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks for the compliment, but I think I'll pass. :-)) Hope you don't mind.
The gold market seems to be thinking the same way, and central banks are aggressively buying this "relic" along with the public....Silver, the metal used in everyday transactions, is also getting bought aggressively.....

>In some ways this does resemble the situation that Germany experienced around 1944 to 1945
Here is one other very important similarity - a nuclear armed USA had Nazi Germany's back in 1945, and met the Soviets long before they could reach the Atlantic.
It was a huge strategic defeat for the USSR back then, it is much much worse now if the same is allowed to happen 1,500 km further east.
There is very little time left...
Very much resembles the Confederate States in 1865. Putin just needs to find a Grant or Sherman who will stop playing coy and kick the rotting hut down before little Napoleon or some other Western idiot does something stupid that lights the fuse for global war.
It isn't about finding a general.
The Soviets spent a year recovering Ukraine from the Nazis, and that with several million men and total war mobilization like never seen before or since.
People are excited about the "rapid" advance of the last five days, but the reality is that it is "rapid" in the sense that 10 kilometers in five days is much much faster than 10 kilometers in five months. In absolute terms it is still snail's pace.
And nobody seems to have any intention to really reduce the other side's fighting capacity.
It would be great to see Kiev pressured again, but what is really needed is a 100K force to move down south from Brest in Belarus and seal the Polish border.
The ignoramus that is GM keeps pushing this line of bullshit;
"And nobody seems to have any intention to really reduce the other side's fighting capacity."
How can any person with a brain believe such an utter falsehood?
GM either has no brain or is a disinfo troll.
It's a troll, nobody is that stupid
I dunno, I think he is truly thick and believes his own bullshit.
Do we need to list the endless strikes that should have been carried out on transport infrastructure, Ukrainian MIC objects, NATO bases inside Ukraine, Ukrainian military and governmental officials, and, most importantly, the border crossings with NATO, that were never carried out?
Ben Hodges, clown as he is, regularly mocks the Russians for never interdicting a single convoy with materiel coming from Poland. Maybe they did hit some, but given the sheer amount of NATO weaponry that is killing Russians on the eastern fronts, it is clearly pathetically insufficient.
Then there is the matter of the NATO drones directing real time strikes. Like the one that just happened on Belbek that has destroyed who knows how many Su-27s. The Houthis have shot down half a dozen of these, Iran has no qualms about shooting them down, yet Putin, sitting on the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, is turning the other cheek (and spreading the other cheeks) and asking for more punishment...
And it's not even the armor and missiles that is the biggest problem. Right now nobody has a technological solution against the drones. The only real solution is to stop their import into Ukraine. Has any attempt been made to do that kinetically? No.
It is amazing how theoretical Generals/Military Strategists conjure mirages in the sand.
"Do we need to list the endless strikes that should have been carried out on transport infrastructure, Ukrainian MIC objects, NATO bases inside Ukraine, Ukrainian military and governmental officials, and, most importantly, the border crossings with NATO, that were never carried out?"
It is apparent Russia wants to test and gain knowledge of all Western/Nato toys, of every kind, from this Ukraine swamp. Presuming Russians are dolts armed with shovels and vodka is another great strength gifted to Russia by Cowards in Suits inside the comfy chairs in DC, London and Brussels.
Dunno. The Russians have been attriting the Ukrainian army for a year and half. There isn't much left. Anyone can see plainly that there just isn't much fight left in Ukraine,
Hey GM ! go to the front line with a pitch fork and show them how is done .
I see the shills are still shilling. Russia is not in a race to capture territory, that comes later. This is a war of attrition, in which time is on Russia's side as they grind down the AFU & NATO while holding key territories and slowly advancing.
It absolutely is in a race to capture territory, and in fact it already lost it. Read my comment on the subject carefully.
NATO is in control of what happens from here on, thanks to the Kremlin's delusions about once again making a deal and kicking the can down the road.
Chill out
Lol. lmao even
@GM
You funny guy!
They kill you last.
NATO in control. You spout a lot of stupid nonsense, but that statement takes the cake.
A close second, absolutely a race to capture territory. Only America/NATO/Ukraine is fixated on this- so they have something to post online so they can "prove" how they are "winning".
The best thing to come out of this zionist american proxy war is the economic & societal collapses in Europe & America.
Keep on crushing them Russia!
I think NATO was already at Russia's border in 2022, so they can't meet Russia, they already did.
IMO the best move for them is to pull out, but they can't, Putin is holding their balls in his right hand.
Maybe give it a thought.
"It was a huge strategic defeat for the USSR back then"
Silly me, I thought the objective of the Allies, which included the Soviets, was to defeat Germany.
Without the Soviets keeping Hitler's best divisions tied up on the Eastern Front, D-Day would have had about the same impact as the British designed slaughter of Canadians at Dieppe.
>Silly me, I thought the objective of the Allies, which included the Soviets, was to defeat Germany.
Then you don't understand anything about the war.
D-Day had very little to do with defeating Germany, at that point the Soviets had that taken care of. But without D-Day, all of Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, perhaps northern Italy too, would have been communist. Scandinavia as well.
The purpose of D-Day was to prevent that. And the alliance with the Nazis was reestablished (in the 1930s US capital was deeply intertwined with them) long before the war officially ended.
Same thing in Italy. Ever wondered how the Americans got past the Alps so easily when that should have been an impenetrable barrier even with the greatly diminished German forces? They made a deal so that the Germans could send their forces to stop the Soviets in Austria. That was explicitly agreed on. Late 1944/early 1945...
In the end the Soviets ended up with the destroyed and already very poor to begin with Eastern Europe, while the US got Western Europe largely intact (aside from the destruction in Germany). The Soviets then had to rebuild themselves, and industrialize Eastern Europe, all of that while having to deal with a whole generation being wiped out. While the capitalists had suffered barely any casualties.
Stalin considered the war a loss and was in a deeply foul mood for the rest of his life. Always remember that.
Presumably he knew better than both of us, don't you agree?
A certain point of view.
Stalin always was in a foul mood, before, during and after WWII.
Rebuilding Germany, Japan, and parts of France were staggering costs to the American Treasury, notwithstanding the destruction of Eastern Europe.
You have your defensible opinion, I have mine.
Thank you.
i`m sorry actually you don`t, Germany finished paying back reconstruction loans in the nineties or even later and both Germany and Japan are almost de facto colonies of the us; in France things got a bit stalled by de Gaulle but it seems that is in the past now.
"Direct grants accounted for the vast majority of the aid, with the remainder in the form of loans".
It is absurd to think "paying back" 1948 dollars with 1990 dollars is called paying back.
Uh....thanks for playing.
"Direct grants accounted for the vast majority of the aid, with the remainder in the form of loans." Look it up yourself.
Paying 1948 dollars back with 1990 dollars. Hmmm....I guess for some that's called paying back.
Thanks for playing.
GoBearsZ(!) It's our liberation, too .... here in the USA. Russia is a working model of the changes we need to make here ... Putin and his inner circle, an example of the kind of leadership we should demand for the USA.
An interesting comment. Honestly, a version of Putin's shake-up in bringing in younger, more energetic and perhaps less corrupt people (a rapid generational change) might serve the US well -- bring in people with better ideas, better motivation, less corruption. Trump talked change but failed miserably at it. Somebody younger, or somebody more radical (like Kennedy) might shake the cobwebs out of the DC political class.
"Somebody younger, or somebody more radical (like Kennedy) might shake the cobwebs out of the DC political class."
That was tried already. The results came in on November 22, 1963.
Most of the US government, including its Congress, SCOTUS, Executive and the Intelligence community is driven now by Jewish influence (since Kennedy, BTW) either directly by occupying a physical space in government or indirectly by payment of cash to get something done. It is that mess that needs cleaning before the US has any chance at all of re-establishing a viable republic.
This can be accomplished by elimination the Zionist nation of Israel and replacing it with a democratic republic with a new name "Palestine" that represents the indigenous population.
This can be accomplished by the elimination of zionists everywhere and the destruction of Israel.
FIFY
A very good post. Thank you!
I would respectfully suggest a minor adjustment to one thing: "the Chinese are beginning to overtake the Western world in technology as well."
I don't think the Chinese are beginning to overtake, they've at a minimum already reached parity and in many areas have exceeded the Western world in technology. Good examples are China's profoundly more advanced capability in 5G and greater communications technology and Chinese mastery of microprocessor design and manufacture.
The world's most advanced microprocessors are made in factories financed by, built, owned, and operated by Chinese people. That the current flagship of such factories happens to be in Taiwan, doesn't change the fundamental role of either China or the Chinese, as the owners of that factory have most of their industrial assets on the mainland. The flow of intellectual capability and investment within Chinese people is completely and totally fungible: Chinese who are thought of as "Taiwanese" by Westerners are the biggest investors in the world in mainland China. It's *their* China and not some foreign land.
You can see some of that in action in the Chinese response to US attempts artificially to divide a single Chinese people into two sorts of Chinese: one sort carefully kept on the plantation in Taiwan and the other sort condemned to some sort of jungle outside the US's beneficent fief. When the US sought to damage China by restricting China's access to Chinese microprocessor technology, China simply began construction on ten or twenty new facilities at the scale and sophistication of TSMC's flagship facility in Taiwan. China's new efforts have already yielded spectacular new microprocessors, like those the US felt would be "impossible to produce" for Huawei's new flagship smartphones.
Just saying, it's a myth that the Chinese are playing catch up, or that they have to steal or knock off technology the West develops. The West has become rotten. It's not like the old days when people in the West could say, "oh, that's OK, the Chinese can build stuff but we create the designs." That's long gone. The Chinese now are creating the designs as well.
One last thing: an often overlooked aspect of the very deep partnership between Russia and China is that Russia is by far the world leader in theory, algorithms and the thinking aspect of innovation. Where Russia has been weak (and still is behind) is the industrial base. But China has a huge industrial base. While China's applied engineering is getting better and better, it is still relatively weak compared to Russia in theory, algorithms and such. Combining Russia's very strong theory with China's very strong implementation is a very natural partnership.
That's already happening in communications, where China's leading telecom companies like Huawei have huge research facilities in Russia. Russian math gods and physics gods are doing the radio electronic theory and the Chinese are building the communications devices, a really successful partnership.
I have heard that China has also been vacuuming key TSMC talent for the last few hears by paying them crazy salaries to relocate to Shanghai, as they both speak Mandarin
Consistent with the Illusion that is the USA, Biden just put 100% tariffs on Made-in-China, EV's, aluminum and steel. Conveniently for China, all these products now have a Made-in-Mexico label, so come into the USA at Zero Tariff.
Sir, I would respectfully ask that at some point you write regarding your personal opinion of Mr. Putin and his motivations and beliefs….we read many different accounts about him…for example, he is mega based and is a defender of the European culture, while other accounts portray him as just another GloboHomo shill who is wholeheartedly behind the unchecked third world invasions of Europe and North America…
Since you've said that, let's add the notion that these wars are themselves proxy wars among various exoplanetary i.e. off-world factions. As the container for everything you're saying.
@Duckman
I saw this pretty much word for word recently, on one of the Reddit "All AI" sub Reddits trained in on conspiracy theories.
Some of the other subreddits where lizard people are a theme were more amusing.
I've been feeling so empty since Jim Henson died.
Simplicius has already explained his views on Putin (and his alleged links to WEF) in this article https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/russias-cbdc-exploring-the-truth
Thank you for the link…I had not read that before
Putin is the greatest president that Russia ever had.
Not a hard bar to clear given that there have only been three of them in its whole history, one of them being the drunkard traitor Yeltsin and the other Medvedev, with Putin as the shadow president.
Yes. And Yeltsin is third greatest Russian president in history.
Simp thinks he is mega based too
I believe Putin has chosen his successor.
I think you are right.
Who? The MOD guy? Hardly. He is too old to be likely to outlive Putin.
MOD spokesman Konashenkov has NOT resigned. Fake news which spread like a wildfire by ignoramuses and haters.
Personally, as someone who listened to MOD reports presented by him as early as RU Syria campaign, I very much like his professional style and straightforward presentation. I believe he doesn't write the reports but he does a great job as a speaker.
Thanks, I updated. Some of the other 'resignations' are likewise not confirmed and is now looking like potentially an information attack. However, the arrest of Kuznetsov and his underlings are confirmed and still represent an unprecedented purge coupled with the recent Ivanov takedown. Not to mention that others connected to Kuznetsov are alleged to be in the crosshairs for potential takedown as well, like Goremykin.
Indeed, it's quite the nest. My point though is that someone like Konashenkov is not in position to play these corrupt games unlike Kuznetsov and Ivanov who were clearly sitting on huge cashflows and became greedy over years. And it was known for years to everyone—remember that every RU citizen on service have to fill the declaration of revenue and property holding as well as owned vehicles (for the whole family). So this corruption was quite clear. My guess is that the only problem was to figure out who to replace these guys with as over years they did their best to push away any opponents who may jump in their profitable places. And a strong moment to do so was also necessary. BTW I don't think that Shoigu was corrupt, otherwise he would not receive a higher post (in security council in place of very respected Mr. Patrushev). Shoigu inherited already a corrupt machine and, considering how SMO turned up in regards of weapons/ammunition/vehicles production, he did a great job (same as he did in his previous positions in his long career).
The story of Putin's government reshuffle holds center stage. Even the pro-Russia people tell a lot of lies and people buy it as usual. In particular "corruption" which always goes great with the populace to justify removals, transfers, or trials. To date, more than 200 officials have been removed from the MoD. It is the showdown that Putin wanted and needed to have, and he waited until he had consolidated his power and consensus. There have always been 2 systems of power in Russia. One refers to the MoD and the other to the KGB (now FSB) GRU system. Until Stalin and even beyond, the GRU system was the one with the real command. The MoD then always grew and from Brezhnev onwards the conflict became acute and the powers became equal. The turning point was Afghanistan where the GRU was strongly against military intervention, but the MoD prevailed. It must be said that in the planned economy those 2 systems managed entire regions not only for the military part but also for a good part of the civil one, from railways, to schools, to public buildings etc... Similarly, the GRU FSB where it retained pre-eminence . The pattern at the regional level then remained, albeit diminished. With the fall of the USSR, the MoD largely prevailed. Yeltsin was their puppet. The GRU FSB then made a coup, which saved Russia, and put its representative, i.e. Putin. Who had to coexist with the MoD while also having many other priorities in a destroyed Russia, but he already had a showdown in mind then, also because possible dangers to his power certainly do not come from Navalny or similar clowns, nor from West, but from the Mod.
When in doubt, just keep threatening.
Blinken picks & sings while Ukraine burns. What a sick SOB.
This was politics. The Biden administration is in reelection mode. Blinken's performance wasn't a bad photo op. On the other hand Neil Young must've been puking his guts out.
Young sold out years ago. He is a vaxtard and a clotshot pushing moron.
Yes, I have a whole slew of Neil's CDs, I don't play them anymore.
There was the cookie lady. Now the music man.
Ukrainians need to wise up and stay away from these people. They bring only death.
Blinken is in no danger himself, and cares nothing about the dumb scrotes that he condemns to death, any more than he lies awake worrying about the poor animals that go into "Chicken McNuggets".
Blinken does want to project an image that all is under control, the situation is being managed. Such people are always performing.
Has there ever, in history, been a more despicable and embarrassing American Secretary of State (Declaring as he arrives in the territory of one war-crime-committing recipient of our tax dollars, "I'm here not as an American, but as a Jew...." and visiting the other corrupt cess-pool of American dollars to play guitar in a bar) than Blinken?
Ok, Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, and a couple others. How about: is there any other international diplomat today as deplorable as Blinken?
Thanks.
Thought I remembered his quote--but it was a paraphrase. Pretty much the same message, though. That's what the Israelis hear--a fellow chosen one dissing America and pledging fealty to their country.
Exactly what Abarbanel's article warns is happening. (Thanks for the link.)
Wasn't Hillary Secretary of State?
Oops! I think I blacked out those years!
Yes--she was, and she was worse!
Wait--and Trump had Pompeo!
He was bad...not as bad as Hillary or Blinken, though. But a neocon war-mongering twit.
The scientific name of that specimen is Hillarius Radamanus Clintomanus .
" We come we saw he died "
Followed by cackle, cackle.
Great Post!
That is a historic gaffe Mr Blinken made in singing in a Kyiv bar. Even the pro Ukr accounts are decrying it. I can't believe he did that. Do they not have any adults available to control these buffoons? Will he do the same thing in Tel Aviv? Or is Georgia his next gig.
I don't know how anyone in Georgia can look at what the west has done to Ukraine and then say "Oh yeah! That's what we need here!" Except if you're a corrupt politician or some one like that.
10% for the Big Rocker!
Song choice is pretty cringe, too. I suppose the irony of the "kinder gentler machine gun hand" is totally lost on him
@Pxx
Right up there with Reagan's people playing Springsteen's "Born in the USA" at campaign events in 1984.
Bruce ripped on them pretty hard for that, specifically said they had NO idea what his lyrics meant.
"Ten years burning down the road / Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go."
The kind of shills & huxters who are employed by our rulers can be pretty damn tone deaf.
And to add insult to this grave injury, the performance is cringe too. He sucks and looks to have no sense of rhythm. All around a huge embarrassment.
Did that dork actually sing these lyrics?
"There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can"
Does he have a damn clue? What is it with these people? Trump actually played Fortunate Son at his rallies! Doesn't he know that song was about him?
JFC
Well, there might be a lot of red, white, and blue in Kiev before long 😂
indeed
"there are now rumors that Surovikin has finally arrived in Moscow, for real this time—or so Rybar claims; a meeting in the Kremlin was allegedly being carried out"
Oh no, Rybar again. It's a fake news again as even the Soloviev Live (the hoster of Rybar TV episodes) replied that it's a fake and Surovikin is actually in Algeria right now (and it's clear that he's leading RU Africa corps which is mostly ex-Wagner which he has very good relations with, there is no point to take him to other roles).
Previously I have already mentioned that Rybar's owner, Mr. Zvinchuk, is a BS writer who doesn't shy to spread CIPSO propaganda and which reports are almost always biased in a pro-UKR way (though lately. considering how well the situation turned in RU favor on the battlefield, they are unable exaggerate UKR successes and downplay RU successes). He straight up mixes actual OSINT data (which made him popular in the first months of the SMO) with lies and fantasies (such as "there were 30 ATACMS missiles hitting Crimea", yes, always in a confident manner). makes stupid suggestions (presenting himself as someone important who has power to influence someone; his "suggestions" are always ignored), and he practically never corrects himself. Please note that he has no military security clearance to know these things (and he served only as a military translator in Syria), and if he did he would not have said a word. That applies to practically every military blogger in RU, I'm sick that many people don't realize that they're just grifters.
Sadly Dima also simply parrots whatever he reads from Rybar and other bloggers who, again, have no military clearance and just play the hype game while earning money from ads (if not being directly funded via cryptocurrency by foreign agencies).
Consider the fact that Mr. Belousov's nomination to become the minister of defense was a shocking surprise to EVERY military blogger and analyst. It's clear that RU are well-capable of keeping government secrets and security. There are no leaks or rumors (unless intentional in some cases, it's an infowarfare aspect of the art of war). Compare that to UKR where rumors of high level personnel shuffling are circulated a whole month ahead and end up being 99% accurate—as happened with their MOD and military top (general staff and command of brigades) and even SBU/GUR.
Dima appears to me as very immature
How do people imagine this actually works in practice?
Surovikin is in some kind of exile for a year, then he just comes back, meets with Putin and is handed the command over a do-or-die operation that is just about to start? Which he has presumably had no part of the planning and preparation of given that he had been in exile? These things take many months to work out and set in motion, command is to be assumed before that preparation even starts, not when it is over...
Perhaps he'll get a position in MoD as Belousov will create his own team in MoD I believe.
Hey GM how come you never happy ? You only see a negative in everything .
Actually this writing of Simplicius is uplifting and positive , finally some progress , the bums are out the good guys in . They may be performing very well , even you may be impressed . You must be a grumpy old man .
Partial vs. absolute success in achieving goals.
In real life only the later counts, there are no points given for effort and partial success.
The reality is that the war is no longer in the Kremlin's hands due to the last two years of indecisiveness, cowardice, and delusional thinking. Quite possibly some treachery too.
" real life , reality , is an illusion with infinite variants .
Define for me your version on it ! No narratives please !
One hopes you will disappear and never be heard from again when your arrogant bullshit is exposed by the reality of Russia crushing your precious NATO and erasing Ukraine from the map and the zionists dreams.
That's true. In the beginning I followed his reports closely but over time saw so many inaccuracies that now I don't even bother subscribing to his channel anymore. However, I wasn't certain if this time the Surovikin rumor actually originated from him or he was just reporting it. Either way, with African Corps troops allegedly taking part in the Kharkov assault, according to the AFU on the ground themselves, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Surovikin could be involved but for now there remains no proof of anything.
