‼️Breaking update with new satellite photos of Russia's Olenya base which claims to show destroyed Tu-95s: refresh the report above to see the new images.
Thanks for the update. The photo shows four destroyed aircraft that look like Tu-95s and one An-12. You're right about this:
"However, some have claimed at least 2 of these do not appear to have had engines which could make them inoperable/backup or junk planes; there’s no way of knowing for definite at the moment."
Very well said.
If you travel around Russia and visit airbases (in past years you could just drive or walk up to the perimeters of some of the bigger ones and look at aircraft through the chain link fences) one of the things that strikes you is the vast number of Soviet-era aircraft parked in the bases. With well over 500 Tu-95 aircraft that's a huge number that are spread around being used as boneyard or parts aircraft. The problem for drone operators in an attack like the one that just happens is telling the boneyard aircraft from flyers.
Given the usual ratios of inoperable aircraft parked at airfields to active status ones, you have to divide any evidence of "killed" aircraft by 2 or 3 at least to get a real number of active aircraft killed. If you see evidence of four Tu-95's destroyed, count that as one or two flyers destroyed.
But all that is somewhat irrelevant as those aircraft had no role in the Ukraine conflict and didn't matter at all to Russia's strategic deterrent, which is based on missiles.
The attack is an irrelevancy. It reminded me of the V-weapons program. Waving your hand off in another direction to convince others that you aren't collapsing.
The Russian media has been minimizing the damage, but the PR problem is huge. Ukraine gets continuing support and Z looks like a hero. Reminder: Russia is fighting NATO, not Ukraine. Russia can kill every f'ing Ukrainian soldier and still lose the war. NATO gained more citizens thinking it is easy to take Russia down.
How do you figure? This is usual great power stuff. The longer the US stays invested, the worse the damage to prestige when we lose. The Ukraine cannot win. This is just like Vietnam and Afghanistan. For some reason we seem to be addicted to getting into fights we can't win.
I'm sure the Ukrainians are loving every minute of these meaningless propaganda blurbs as half the country has fled or been killed. The moment for crying uncle is very close as the retreats continue.
In what alternative planet is Zelensky a "hero". The world knows he is a coked up figurehead. He has dragged his country into a pointless war, lost a third of his population to emigration, killed an entire generation of adult men and is now dragging teenagers off the streats to die in a meat grinder.
Who exactly his heroising him? Even his handlers in Langley and London dont respect him. They are using him, and they have his replacements in reserve.
I think some have to be dragged and some go on their own. We do not know the proportion. Truth is however that until the majority grasps the depth of the problem there will not be a change. Even if their gov. signed a peace deal the hot heads would still want more war. And that is because the knockout effect is missing.
The Penis Piano Player looks like a hero only to late-stage syphilitics and people with IQ well below body temperature. What they believe or do not believe matters not at all, as they will believe the diametrical opposite tomorrow regardless of the actual facts. President Putin, like China, practices politics in the scale of thousand year bites, not 24 hour news cycles.
It doesn't matter if all they actually hit were a couple of inoperable helicopters. The attack was successful, as to the extent it put Russian incompetence (such an attack was entirely predictable and not stopped) and indecision (pretend that anyone had tried such a stunt on the United States and imagine the reaction) on full display.
Do what, exactly? Control a massive porous border? Saying that modern day Russia is weak because the USSR wasnt attacked with a technology that wouldn't come to exist for another 30 to 40 years seems extremely disengenious, even for you Feral.
The USSR never really DID "seal their border". With much smaller borders, the USA never really has either. Having crossed one of those countries borders more than once without interacting with their customs (not smuggling, just not wanting to waste time), I can say it ain't even hard if you know the terrain.
Yes, the majority of terrorist attacks ever carried out within the USA had to get past none of our borders as they originated from within the USA (many with either the tactical acquiescence of state security cadres or at their overt instigation).
None of our adversaries are under the illusion that terrorism by ACTUAL outside entities would benefit said outsiders, they would lack the required ability to spin the narrative and sculpt the public reaction toward any desired outcomes due to not owning the US "alternative" or MSM-
As far as meaningful degradation of any US military physical capabilities by "terrorists"? No.
Terrorism isn't about putting an armored division or a strategic bomber wing out of commission, it's about perceptions.
Where in your row of "fuckups" do you put the 20% of formerly Ukrainian territory which is now Russia (with another 20% coming soon)? And where to do you put the current kill ratio in favor of Russia of 1:20?
Thank you for showing your Ukrainian finesse, quality of upbringing, level of thought and diplomatic ability. You are on perpetual ignore as a perfect waste of skin.
We will never know what the actual kill ratio is because the media lie to us all over the place. Even if the did not for knowing the truth all books would have to be opened and that is only possible if one side is conquered completely by the other. I do not see Russia trying and I do not see NATO succeeding w/o the world burning to the point this question becomes irrelevant.
G'day Simplicious, then why come out with what seems like Zanon stuff? Also did I miss your comments on the outright terror attacks on civilian transport and infrastructure with the loss of life again.
It is utterly irrelevant in practical terms. A small embarrassment in PR terms.
Russia practices war and realpolitik, and winning, while the Ukraine and the West play Goebbelsian/Bernaysian propaganda games starring a homosexual buffoon and cokehead, penis piano player.
Russia's one error lately has been to not flood the airwaves with a damage assessment of the Oreshnik strike. I suspect they will demonstrate it again, in several places, and correct that error.
Nothing Ukraine does now will save it.
In the end, just as people took down the color-atrocious Ukrainian rags (derived from an Austrian cavalry pennant), they will deny ever having supported the JudaeoNazi Quislings of Khuyev.
Whatever Russia does, the Western public gets only a curated view. The Americans do not even know where the war is and the EU citizens know only what the MSM tells them. There are minorities who have enough interest to find out what is a lie and to some extent what the truth my be. The way this went especially in EU - our "representatives" went so far and burnt so many bridges that the come back would require a military defeat or collapse of the existing power structure the way the French revolution destroyed the old France.
Andrei M. says Putin has been too considerate of Ukrainians entering Russia. He says Putin regards Ukrainians as Slavic brother. So they put up with quite a bit of terrorism which the West likes to punch them up with so Putin can looks peaceable. He also puts up with a lot of Russian radicals, although the Left paints him totalitarian. Putin leaves the bridges of the Dnieper flow with arms. And he has left a lot of places exist that others would have obliterated. I think they need to entirely re-do their PR and act less legalistic and patient, and a bit unhinged and dangerous. Everyone is sleeping tonight comfortably watching Rachael Meadow laugh at Putin rather than wondering if the lights will go on and if their cars will start in the morning, and why there is not electricity or water and not TV to watch Rachael on because NATO attacked Russia's nuclear triad.
Hope you didnt miss the 4-minute film about the attack. It is on X and in one of my comments.
Uki always narrate and mix their films but you can clearly see enough planes getting destroyed or severly hit. It was striking that they didnt explode on contact. They landed on the planes and then detonated.
john helmer discussed this in a video earlier today with dimitri lascaris.. i recommend the video on the discussion of the importance of escalation dominance...
A recent media outlet report mentioned that the EU still imports 15% of gas demand from Russia via Southstream as well as LNG. Another media report yesterday from Zman concerned that Ukraine is running out of gas - dependent on flows from the EU
A clear message to back off can be made by suspending exports via pipeline and tanker for a period of time, citing 'security concerns'. A loss of 15% of vital imports during winter storage refill season (April - October) will make EU decision makers sit up and pay attention
If that message goes unheeded, start picking off the huge underground gas storage facilities one by one - bear in mind the Ukrainian UGS system, the third largest globally, account for over 25% of total EU bloc strategic reserve capacity.
Yet isn't that the RFed plan to take the moral high ground in a street fight and complain to the umpire when their rules are impinged by the otherside. Business is of paramount importance not winning it seems.
Of late you see the contrary side -- they play polite and fight to win. And they are winning and they will win. NATO should think twice about sending any troops. Russia has friends too, all of whom would like a chance at applying all the military training they have received at home and gaining field experience. Thus preparing for any challenges to their sovereignty down the road.
I hope you are right Norma but we will see what response comes from the attack on the numerous airfields and complete breach of security and second attack on Russia's nuclear capabilities.
Sites around Lvov and Ivano-Frankivst have been hit several times already, the last reported strike some time ago triggered a spike in gas prices on the Dutch TTF futures trading floor.
A high-impact non-kinetic option that would directly affect NATO nations, and turn the populations against the governments in protest at spiralling costs of living
That is what Oreshniks are for. That and destroying the vast underground cities that the Ruling Classes of Anglo-Zionists plan to sit out nuclear winter in. Destroy one or two, since Oreshnikking the steel plant, with city-sized fallout-shelter beneath it, in The Ukraine has not properly 'sunk in' yet.
Russia's mistake was allowing that strike to be silenced. They hoped politely, as always, that the Political and Presstitute SSholes of the West would sober up and mention something about it in the media! But "Hope springs eternal, Baldrick" as Blackadder used to say!
Russia should have done its own damage assessment and broadcast it.
Russia is not the only nuclear armed state, but even a strategic nuke would pit NATO immediately against Russia and with what I am seeing, they are not ready for a fight on 3 different fronts. Iran would cow out, NK would not be able to do much if anything, China would play it all off "we are not involved". What escalation would you expect?
china is happily selling drones to ua. they have 0 interest in any military conflict w/ the usa. they would sign a deal w/ washington the same second moscow gets nuked. if the chinese are famous for anything, it is that they r absolutely opportunistic.
You do know the Chinese have officially stated that if European troops are deployed to Ukraine they will become directly involved? Russia is a part of a military block the CSTO (collective security treaty organization). This is a security organization of former Soviet states in the East Russia has not gotten to the point where they had to activate the security members for help. North Korea is already involved, Iran is already involved supplying drone technology since 2022. The only major Eastern states that would be in doubt would be India and Vietnam having very good relationship since the days of the USSR.
G'day seeker, how many European troops has the RF killed in Ukraine but I haven't seen any Chinese response. Evidence suggests even Western senior officers have died alongside their hohol allies. Simp has written of the deaths repeatedly.
The alleged European combatants that are casualties in the conflict are unofficial not direct participants from NATO countries. If European countries send troops under their flags officially then that is legally a different situation. What the Chinese have done for the Russians is much more than direct military involvement as China is the reason Russia is not having very serious inflation. So China is having an economic offensive against the US while Russia keep them occupied with military realities.
They can take it to the chin and slowly perform the SMO until objectives achieved.
What is mezmerising is that they seem to have no plan to achieve de-nazifying, de-militarization, sanctions lifted and the 5 oblasts recognized by the ”international order”.
What we see is the crawling to secure the four oblasts and a cordon sanitaire in front of Orel, Kursk, Brijansk and Belgorod.
How do they think they can lift the sanctions without deploying some force to the demand?
It is obvious Putin is hoping for a pragmatic solution were US/EU force Ukraine to comply instead of escalating and risk a doomsday War. It could very well succeed with enough patience.
Patience and perception is what Ukis, little brits and other evil master are battling.
Make Russians patience were off. Build up a perception of defeat with controlled media and stunts/real damage to the Russian federation. They cant military wise defeat Russia and I think US already knows it.
The escalation option is still there and I dont see how Russia could achieve all objectives with the ”SMO” without a clear slap in the face on the UK/EU.
You are more interested in me than the conflict….weird.
I did not write anything about the Russian military commands plans.
I wrote ” they seem to have no plan to achieve de-nazifying, de-militarization, sanctions lifted and the 5 oblasts recognized by the ”international order” meaning the political leadership of Russia of course.
Russia will be forced to stabilize by the appropriate response with a multiplier effect added to get the attention of any remaining sane people in the West.
They are exagerating the success of the attack. NATO claims between 30 and 40 planes whereas Russia concedes only 5. The point is to make Putin look weak before the Russian citizens, make his feet tumble and get regime change in Russia by 5th or 6th columnists, like some GM posting here, what has always been NATOs goal. Two ways or warefare are clashing in Ukranian: the Russian industrial warfare, and the western psychological warfare. Both excede at their own realm. The Russians are methodical. The anglosaxons are spectacular. The new attach on Kerch tries to make the Russians look desperate. Its all about perception. Whereas Russia seems to prevail at a ground materialistic level, they seem cornered at an ideological informational level. Putin's reputation certainly took a blow. The country seems defenceless and unresponsive. But Trump lost the last sparks of his winner halo too. He looks like a puppet or a liar or both. All to provoke a world war which will withdraw the western unpayable debt and secular theft on the world. They will keep on banging the bear's head, since it doesnt retaliate to the serpent's head.
Silent weapons for a silent war, invisible weapons for an invisible war, but still the war will go on forever. All will be dead and spent, useless, no traces leaving and all will be called heroes.
No GM (General Melschit) sighted thus far, possibly honing his state of the art military tactical skills by watching the 1968 film of “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. He may or may not realise this version is a satire.
Yes, $34T (or is it more?) will vanish. Like the blackout in Spain. An engineer said that the Spanish electrical grid lost 15 gigawatts in 1.5 seconds!
“Spectacular” attacks just for show accomplish nothing inside Russia. Neither the leadership nor the citizenry are deterred in the least from continuing to prosecute the war. They are no less motivated or capable than before. In contrast, Russia’s material destruction of Ukraine’s military and its infrastructure hamper its ability to continue fighting. That is the very reason why Ukraine is resorting to show off tactics.
I will give the Ukies some credit for being willing to sacrifice everything in a losing cause—and I do mean everything by the time this war is finished. Or perhaps they deserve an award for pigheaded stupidity. Oh, it’s the stupid award for sure.
One never reacts when emotions are high but waits and keeps the opposition guessing and then one strikes devastatingly , kiev wont have electricity or water if i were in charge .
The Greek way is to follow the middle never going to extremes . The anglojewish way is to always go to extremes
Hey Kon we are still waiting for a response in regards the hohols attack on Russia's early warning radar of a nuclear strike that was over a year I believe.
The most striking thing is Russia’s display of self-discipline. They absorbed the provocations without overreacting, which I suspect caught NATO off guard. The Russian strategy remains intact; either a peace agreement on Moscow’s terms, or the full capitulation of Kiev.
True. But perhaps what exacerbated their situation is that they’re not a conventional army with a wide geography. On top of that, most Lebanese factions either oppose them outright or reject their broader vision, which likely limits their operational flexibility. Either way, Hezboallah and Russian military capabilities are not comparable.
Of course, I’m no expert, just a humble personal observation.
Hezbollah was supposed to have amassed a vast underground missile arsenal capable of disarminig Israel.
But all they did was taking some potshots at limited range across the border.
They made zero attempt to kill the Israeli airforce, which was they key part of preventing themselves being destroyed, and did no damage on Israeli general infrastructure either. Hit the desalination plants, and what happens in Israel?
This even after the heavy bombs started raining all over Lebanon.
Which, BTW, has not stopped to this day, despite Hezbollah's capitulation.
Sure, Russia is vast, has enormous resources, etc. It will be much harder to bring down. But the resources are not infinite (as the planes acutely demonstrate -- all that Russia can muster right now as new production is 1-2 Tu-160M a year) and the exact same principle applies, it is only a matter of time.
And if Russia would have fully supported Syria about 10 years ago, by giving them advanced air defense to stop Israel from bombing at will, then both Syria and Lebanon might still be in the axis of resistance today.
Scott Ritter, Laith Marouf and others (perhaps Colonel Wilkerson) spent months assuring us of the vast and profound capabilities of Hezbollah and it was all fantasy to my dejection.
I am not so sure. Someone must have given the Houthis all their fancy equipment - I see no way that this arsenal was built on spot, as I see no way that Hezbollah could produce anything without external deliveries. As both parties have the same supplier, and this supplier is under pressure too, Hezbollah, contrary to the picture painted by Isreal, might have been an empty shell.
Indeed. They know every Hezbollah village, neighbourhood / area, where the parents, grandparents, children, disabled, livestock etc live. So the fighters are safe in the tunnels, while their civilians are slaughtered. The price of resistance is too high.
Of course they work. Hezbollah went to war, with no air defence, against an air power that had intelligence on the whereabouts of their families and communities.
I beg to differenciate between Jews and Israelis/Zionists. The crazy thing is that most of them are atheists but take some weird pieces of the bible to justify their cruelty.
Jews have had 100 years to realise the full extent and import of Zionism and here all we are in 2025 watching The Jewish State happily smear children across the rubble of their refugee dwellings.
NYU defines Zionist is an identity meriting protection under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. IHRA definition will be across the JewSA because that is what the jew wants..
G'day Johannes, check out the survey done in Ireal in regards the genocide in Gaza it is supported by more than just the Kahanists or settlers etc at over 60%. So secular European Ashkenazims support as well.
You seem to overlook the fact that not all Jews are living in Israel. Lies from Netanjahus Government and neglect of security have caused their hate towards all Palestininans. That was not always the case.
Real Jewishness according to god commandments and the prohets does not support the cruelty the zionists are doing. Rabbi Weiss prays every day for the peaceful dimantling of the Jewish State.
There was never any economy or solid reliable financial source behind Hezbollah. Russia however is a real country, with real ressources and the ability to keep on going forever.
The europeans are desperate to provoke Russia into an escalation that they hope will bring in the US to support their own escalations.
Russia would be advised to take these hits, hit back where it can without spiralling this, and continue with its advance. I know it is hard to swallow this but the Europeans are reaching a break point with their own escalation efforts without putting in troops on the ground. Once they do this Russia can really finish them off as has happened to NATO and the US in bygone times. It is a european disaster waiting in the wings, not a Russian one.
Since London lost their Russian collateral assets, the City lost the capacity to both flush new credits and pay back the existing ones. The debt is unpayable without new debt emissions. The only issue is default... Or hardship clauses like WAR to withdraw the debt. The will eventually nuke Russia to get to their goal the question belng only how soon.
No, the war will not go nuclear. Russia has the capacity to strike european capitals and that closes this option down. Nor will they put in troops on the ground. Support for Ukraine will be withdrawn first so that Ukraine is forced into a surrender deal. This is how this will end.
Not so certain about that. The Western faction running this show is not any government but financiers and banking interests. Such are not concerned with loyalty to any state. They have run out of collateral to support their debt, so their only realistic Get-Out-of-Jail option is war to cancel that debt. Russia and China understand this and act accordingly with great patience.
Yeah, but nuclear war does not serve the financier interests either. Rather they will turn the thumb screws on european governments and the UK to make good their holes- at the expense of citizens as is already being planned.
The corrupt political puppets placed into power in Britain and most of Europe, have no concern for the well being of the citizens of these nations. This can be seen with the ethnic cleansing both from the ongoing Covid19 biological terror attacks, and mass importation of militants primarily from Muslim States that have suffered for multiple decades from the Zionists that control Western Governments through Banking and 5th column business and political leaders.
The problem is that although they might not want nuclear war, their stupid and evil actions might well provoke that. They have no understanding of what they are doing. It would be very easy to blunder into nukes.
This perhaps is why Russia, China and others are stacking up physical Gold and Silver like there's no tomorrow. Western FIAT economies are bankrupt and it looks like nobody is buying US Treasuries, they're selling.
This is the only scenario with explanatory power. Otherwise we are asked to believe England, France and Germany are willing to gamble on their own destruction because something something democracy and something something Putin bad.
You're thinking rationally, Jullianne, which is something that isn't happening in London, DC, Berlin and Paris. These people would be happy destroying the world if they thought it could stop Russia and China. Nothing will change until the current Western leadership is expelled and replaced.
Current western “leadership” decides nothing. BlackRock and financial Vampire Squid, made of degenerate super-wealthy banking families, decide everything.
The US is an oligarchy.
The UK is a kingdom owned by zio-banking cartel; ‘ Friends of Israel in the UK’ dominate everywhere.
Western civilization was devoured by bankers and by war profiteers like Blair, Arbuthnot, Cheney, et al.
The shameless kol-nidreied global jewry has been playing its usual subversive role.
Your view is correct and would have been the most important issue some years ago. But the (Western) world is facing an economic crisis, not a financial one. Of course, when looking at Starmer, Merz, or Macron, these leaders do not even know what they are facing, but they will learn it the hard way. Remember, the last economic crisis was the oil shock; that was in the '70s. Only people well above the age of 70 have personal experience with such a crisis—and you will find hardly any of them not being retired.
I am sorry to break the news to you. "This" everything you see right now IS the US. It is not "The Europeans" or NATO or Ukraine. I cannot believe so many "trusted sources" in alternative media are now parroting this nonsense. Once again people want to believe so they will but these "analysts" really just people who make a bunch of money pushing intel agency talking points. Go back and listen to Pete the Zionist in his very 1st speech to those Europeans. He told them exactly what they would do which is they would lead the publicity charge in the fight against Russia. The CIA is and has been embedded in Ukraine since the 40's and 50's. Your premise that Russia does NOT want to bring in the US is not it. The Kremlin knows the US is in and has been in, President Putin does not brief me, but he is not relying on the NYT and Washington Post to decide if the US knows about the terrorist attacks that itself is planning and executing. I don't know why I bother , people "believe" what they want even when the evidence is overwhelming.
Indeed, Nuland said something similar then shortly afterwards a terrorist attack occurred.
Ukraine’s attack had little military value, just embarrassment and minor financial loss for Russia. The real goal was poisoning US-Russia relations.
Three possibilities:
Ukraine went rogue, attacking without telling the US, proving it sabotages US interests.
US intel knew but didn’t tell Trump, those responsible should be jailed.
The White House knew and lied, destroying trust.
Russia can’t be sure the US was unaware. Attacking bombers violates the trust behind treaties like START. If a Russian ally hit US bombers, America would blame Moscow and likely go to war.
Consequences:
If Trump knew, any US-Russia reconciliation is dead. China will note the betrayal.
If the Deep State hid this, their sabotage is terrifying.
If Ukraine thought falsely implicating the US would work, they miscalculated.
If Trump truly didn’t know, he must act decisively to restore credibility.
"The europeans are desperate to provoke Russia into an escalation that they hope will bring in the US to support their own escalations."
Taking that as given, if Russia doesn't respond the way the europeans want, the solution is simply to keep behaving more and more recklessly until they get the desired response.
It's a no-lose game. Keep taking cheap shots until Russia finally responds, then run screaming to the Americans.
Of course, if the United States were serious about not intervening, they need only publicly and plainly state that if europe persists in such behavior, the United States will not come to their rescue, including if Russia hits back. Watch european tails tuck between european legs.
That the United States does not make such statement tells us all we need to know.
Meanwhile Russia is advancing in Ukraine. It is not sitting there inert taking the punishment. It is simply that the punishment is bouncing off a very tough hide. But when the time comes it will turn its attention to these irritants and deal with them. It is getting stronger all the time. There is a level of escalation to which these euronutters cannot go. and Russia has good defences against everything else. Of course they can bring the end of the world down on their own heads and every one else's. They are not however that daft or suicidal.
The next practical level is troops on the ground. They have tried threatening that and Russia just beckoned them into the abyss. They backed off. This is where we really are. Russia will turn Ukraine and then it can consider what to do with the likes of Starmer and Macron. This is the denouement that is on the horizon, not some prospect of an ever greater escalation of western might!
This mythical "Russian way of winning" is another cope, ignoring examples when Russia was decisive such as the Brusilov Offensive, Bagration, August Storm, or, for that matter, the invasion of Czechoslovakia or the 2008 war with Georgia.
Those are just the first examples off the top of my head.
Shouldn't we be focusing on improving the lives of Americans? Wouldn't peace and free trade with China and Russia help that goal? Why do we care about how other countries get run?
On the other hand...
If what the history books and the media shows us is true, then the corruption and abuse of those countries needs to stop. But can America really try to lecture others, when our country has so much corruption and issues of its own?
As an average "American" (Mexican? Peruvian?) your ignorance and bias is showing and expected. China and Russia corrupt and abusive according to your media and your equally laughable "history" books LOL
We have enough corruption in our own country to keep us busy for decades. China and Russia are choir boys compared to what's going on in Europe. The US and its "allies" have no business preaching to anyone.
This is about power and money, not spreading "democracy".
Having worked overseas for 22 years I had to listen to the bullshit Americans continually lecture us on corruption and the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). The people/companies that broke that act consistently were Americans or American companies. Then there was the UK Bribery Act which was as much of a joke as the FCPA. Holier than thou Americans need to fuck off.
How about Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal spending US$800,000 taxpayer dollars on their recent hotel stay in Kiev? Couple of day stay and nearly a million spent. How many Ukraine male models did that queer Graham pay to polish his knob? Or is most of it being funneled back into his offshore bank accounts?
Way too deep. The only remaining options are socio-economic implosion or revolution, either leading to a new America - the question being, "What kind of America?".
Why is it necessary for America to be in the business of 'monitoring' or intervening in other countries? I know that the American public don't want this, and never have wanted it. So they have to be spun a children's story to whip up their emotions. Your enemy is your own system, not Russia or anyone else. If there is endemic corruption in another country it is the responsibility of that countries populace to fight against it.
>Shouldn't we be focusing on improving the lives of Americans?
The only reason the lives of Americans are as good as they are right now is that the US is looting much of the rest of the world.
The primary reason America did not collapse already in the 1990s was that the USSR convenitantly did so first and the West got a chance to loot it as well as all other territories that used to associate with the Soviet bloc.
But the effects from that shot in the arm wore off by the mid-00s. Thus going to war now.
You need to specify who is the "we" in your questions.
You *especially* need to separate "history books" and media as sources. Hint: treat media sources the way science does; as irrelevant untrustworthy gossip.
And you *absolutely* need to stop colouring other countries as "corrupt" and "abusive" unless you live in a totally corruption and abuse free country (insert saying about glass houses and throwing stones)
Zelensky, and friends with benefits, operation Web mirrors Hitler's desperate final stand using V2 rockets on England. All it does is create sensationalism for the press to latch onto, but the war is already lost.
Operation Web took out several obsolete Russian planes, which had no use in this war. Those old bombers are just for show and modelling, anyway. Russia can easily cover the cost of the planes and surcharge by taking more land in Ukraine, like Odessa.
Operation Web was a failure; it expended its resources on a superficial target that did not pose a threat and offered false hope in the media. Zelensky, like Hitler, both manic druggies, lose their focus and go mad with no real effective strategic planning.
Simplicius got it right when he said "I suppose it’s easy for the manic ‘high’ phase to over-compensate after such a painfully long period of dismal disappointment, but I regret to inform them that today’s strikes will change nothing, apart from deepening the nails into the soggy wood of Ukraine’s coffin."
Sure, gloves off, maybe Russians will now start launching missiles on residential areas, malls and children's hospitals... oh wait, it's already happening for 3 years and Zelensky doesn't seem to laugh about it.
They haven't, they just opressed the whole nation, murdered and jailed people for speaking against them, for broadcasting western media, for trying to cross the border, denied their childern access to education etc. No wonder other CEE nations do what they can to avoid that happening again and no wonder we do not believe occupiers' stories about how Ukrainians bomb their own hospitals themselves in order to cover secret biolabs :D
"Czechs took vengeance on Czechoslovakia's three million ethnic Germans in two waves. In the four months after liberation in early May 1945, Czech paramilitaries, army units, and local vigilantes drove hundreds of thousands of Germans from their homes and across the borders of occupied Germany and Austria, brutalizing and killing many in the process. Euphemistically dubbed the "wild transfer" in subsequent Czech historiography, this stage ended soon after the allied powers approved of an "organized transfer" at the Potsdam conference in August 1945. Part two of the expulsion process began in January 1946, with most of Czechoslovakia's remaining two million Germans making a forced, but relatively orderly, exit on special trains to occupied Germany."
Well Danny, it seems that you DO have some first-hand knowledge of 'Soviet-style' respect for life and human rights, huh?
If you want to delve into history to cast stones, make sure you don't live in a glass castle.
I'm not proud of this chapter in our history. Yet I don't really see why should I answer for this nor how is this relevant to whether or not Russians target civil infrastructure in current war. Oh sorry, in SMO, 'cause that's not really a war, right? Blink blink;)
Russian targets are apartment blocks, hospitals and clinics, schools, churches, theaters, malls, community centers - and energy infrastructure.We have over 3 years worth of video, pictures and UN reports.
Ahhh, the mighty UN located in good ol' New York... That bastion of truth, honour and dignity - like the WHO... Watch the film 'Wag the Dog' with De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. It's a 1997 film detailing how this works.
That’s not factually correct. Russia has never directly targeted civilian targets in themselves. There are cases where Ukrainian forces and NATO trainers were identified at meetings in hotels and were successfully destroyed with some collateral civilian deaths.
Know that this SMO has the lowest collateral death rate of any conflict for decades.
We won’t even mention Israel and their US backed genocide of Palestinians or the various “shock and awe” air attacks of the USA in Middle East that have literally killed millions of civilians.
This channel published witnesses' evidence of crimes by Ukrainian neo-nazis and their accomplices that occur in Donbass collected by Maxim Grigoryev, chairman of the International Public Tribunal for Ukraine, as well as other news.
Wait, so Russians establish an institution and it confirms the claims they repeat over and over for years?? Oh my, that's absolutely shocking!! How could we not see that!! and on a similarly relevant and serious topic... https://divinecosmos.com/
Hey Daniel, Can we stick to the topic please. If you disagree with my comments regarding there being no intentional Russian targeting of non military in Ukraine please state them here. Otherwise, I logically assume you actually accept what I have stated as being factual and truthful. Thank you.
But to explain the irony before: Yes, I disagree with your comments, I find them absolutely false and absurd, given the amounts of evidence of strikes on civil infrastructure, given the first-hand experiance I have with UA refugees and given the agelong level of respect for people's lives in Russia / USSR. What you write is a 1:1 copy of Russian propaganda that is spread over and over for years. And as a cherry on top, sticking to the term 'SMO' is just another brick to the wall of lies and manipulations Russia spreads like heap in order to justify this hideous imperial war.
Wow, this is a masterpiece mic drop argument. Me reading Talmud is so freakin relevant to whether or not Russians target civil infrastructure. I think you should write at least a dozen more of these random rants. Not that anyone cares, but I guess it makes you feel better, so I am happy to serve. I like people genuinely. Meanwhile, I give you something of a simliar relevance in return. Here you go: https://stayandroam.blog/how-to-grow-a-mango-seed/. Cool, huh?
Interesting as always. This is all very sad and strange. Feels like the Ukrainians are not interested in negotiations: the Istanbul choreography looked like one of these compulsory exercises no one really wants to participate in but must do it anyway - like taking part in a group photograph at a family gathering because Uncle Donald is insisting or when your parents tell you you need to speak to grandma over the phone. This begs the question: what kind of black swan are the Ukrainians waiting for?
They AREN'T interested in negotiations, they want to prolong their time at the money trough (more importantly: their sponsors time) as long as they can.
The black swan they want is for the US to go all in and back NATO in a full war against Russia.
Why should Ukrainians be interested in negotiations? They will be interested when they have no other choice. Nobody in Washington, nobody in Brussels, nobody in Kiev cares in least, as it's not their children going into the meat grinder.
How is this "very clear that Trump wants to pass the baton to Europe"? Trump has done nothing to steer anything that way. He is nothing more than a hot aired filled orange bag of douche. If he really wanted to pass the baton to Europe he would publicly come out and say this is Europe's problem, remove all aid, stop ISR and pull all US personnel out of Ukraine and any NATO country supporting this conflict. He either won't or can't do it. The Jews and Neocons have him by the short and curly's and they ain't letting go.
This is most likely that case…for some reason USAns for the most part cannot entertain the idea that the executive branch, congress et al are simply not the shot callers for pretty much anything. It simply does not compute…even when you spell out the PolyCorps & Banksters equation in simplified crayon. But yes, the negotiations are reluctant theater and the time approaches when the participants in this hybrid war are going to get twitchy…..
Socrates Computer Of Martin W Armstrong has never been wrong it predicted 2014 in OOK and predicted to the day escalation in May and June this year , increasing throughout the year . It also more importantly predicted the end of Ukraine, regardless of what the west will do. OOK will devolve into civil infighting with dissolution of the fake soviet entity. In fact OOK was the soviets only glory and when Mr Putin spoke in 2022 ,he mentioned DeLeninsation meaning OOK. Mr Putin was asked by Yeltsin “To Save Russia” because the anglojews were preparing to put their man in the Kremlin with their usual shenanigans see jewish Safra bankster who became worm food. See MWA and the film about him. So escalation and more terrorist attacks by the master terrorists first the anglo then the jew will occur in 2025 ultimately leading to defeat of OOK. The wests economies are imploding under their Hubris and they are trying to offload the losses onto the populous . ‘You will own nothing” because we are taking it off you, to pay of our debts.
has to do w/predictions based on powerful financial computer modeling by Martin Armstrong, known for coding and building the Socrates seminal predictive computer system - https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/
couldn't find OOK. in my language the word 'ook' (rhymes with 'oak') means: also. which didn't really help my internet search much. also I have this spontaneous aversion to anything to do w/computermodels and modelling, because I think it's all a load of hyped pessimism that won't lead to anywhere interesting, so there's that.
Just a guess. In 1914, Jacob Safra settled in Beirut, and he opened his first Bank, Banque Jacob E. Safra, in 1920. It quickly prospered, benefiting from a massive influx of Syrian businessmen and merchants who became Jacob's customer base.
…..In fact, NATO had invited Russia to join their club as a member following the 1991 collapse of the USSR. That was one of the reasons behind the coup against Gorbachev, for the old communists saw this as the surrender of Russia, and he was forced to decline. About 8.6 years later, there was a real live plot to interfere in the Russian Presidential Election of 2000 to seize control of Russia and even bring it inside NATO. This time it would involve the oligarchs trying to sell Russia to the
USA and blackmail Yeltsin with the help of a key New York banker—Edmond Safra. The Clinton Administration was well aware that in 1996 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the oligarchs created their Davos Pact to rig the re-election of Yeltsin. The scheme for 2000 was to make Boris Berezovsky Yeltsin’s successor, as he wanted Russia to join the West and NATO based on the fact that they had absorbed their prior enemies, Germany and Japan.
Oh, this is not my opinion or some conspiracy theory I stitched together, nor Russia’s propaganda. The truth has at last surfaced with even a partial declassification of the secret documents from the Clinton Administration. Like the Kennedy Assassination, they no doubt have refused to release the most revealing evidence. The Moscow Times has even regarded Berezovsky’s effort to reelect Yeltsin as critical in 1996. They wrote on January 22, 2014: “The Communists, lead by Gennady Zyuganov, stood to retake power in the coming presidential elections, just as they had retaken the State Duma in December 1995. For Russia’s new business elite, the oligarchs, a communist victory would surely result in the seizure of the assets they had accumulated over the previous few years. And that was the best-case scenario…..
One last big push to encourage Russians to bring down Putin. This is how this started and it signals the end, not via success but failure. Then we will get a deal to end this war meaning a Ukrainian surrender once western support is conclusively withdrawn- for now.
The west does not want to lose Odessa and so knows it has to force this Russian offer on Ukraine while it is still on the table UNLESS the Russians can finally be persuaded to knock out Putin, which is not looking promising especially since these attacks have been no where near as successful as Ukraine promised.
Why would the West want to bring down Putin? The next guy is going to be far more aggressive.
What the West would like is to stir up a civil war or something that will make it easier for Russia to be broken up into more easily manipulated regions.
The desired endgame from Day 1 is regime change to a Yeltsin style kleptocracy followed by the balkanization of Russia and the rape of it's people and assets.
>One last big push to encourage Russians to bring down Putin.
Let's see, what would make Russian people more mad at Putin:
1) Putin responding immediately and mercilessly already to the first Kerch bridge bombing and all the daily acts of terrorism by exterminating the Ukronazi cockroaches one by one, whenever and wherever he can get them, while also blocking Western meddling by brute force, and winning the war quickly and decisively
2) The absolute shit show we have now.
I wonder, which situation is more of a threat to Putin's internal standing? Hmmm, what a hard question...
You might want to check on the opinion of people inside Russia.
Makes sense only as the hollywood pentagon 2-D cartoon villain narrative and not in real life. This is the script and it is deeply engrained. There is no fuggin way even a tiny percentage of Russians are going to foment any kind of rebellion and I say this based only on the fact that they HAVE to know that NATO is surrounding them and that the past 30 years of tortuous disturbance has been sponsored almost entirely by THEM. Not only that, VVP is moderate, level headed not impulsive and takes the middle path, always doing things by the books.
Guarantee any replacement is going to way more of a brawler. So yeah, the whole ‘regime change script’ may have had its day during the Color Revolution Bonanza…..but it aint quite the same these days.
"Imagine the plan’s sweep as Zelensky envisioned it..." No imagine it as MI-6 and the CIA envisioned it--and planned it, both the truck drone attack and the bridge attack. And of course Trump was fully informed. There is no peace process. There is a charade that pretends to be peace negotiations so Trump can say he tried before blaming Zelensky and off-loading the war on the Europeans, all the while providing arms to Ukraine, which haven't stopped for a second--and neither has intel. It is The Empire's intension to blame Zelensky and the Europeans while keeping the war going indefinitely. Keep in mind lies, terror, fear, deception and subversion are The Empire's preferred methods. And they will continue, as they have under all presidents. The prime directive is to destroy all nations which fail to submit to economic domination. Sorry Trumpers. How's his war on the Deep State going? You've been had, on both foreign policy and the economy. Meet the new boss...same as the old boss...
Just as Brian Berletic as stated, to outsource the war to Europe, division of labor. Yep I see it. Russia must win it so decisively on the battlefield that the victory must not be seen as a stalemate but as a comeplete unconditional surrender of ukraine and capitulation in front of everyone. It must be done on tiktok, X, every major social media. Live
Well your not going to get that, I don't ever see the current Ukrainian leaders surrendering, even if they lose another 5m people. Even if the last km of Ukraine is not in Russian control someone will be there to fire drones and missiles into Russia.
Capitulation, under the current method is going to take years or decades. Russia cannot sustain 20% inflation and a contract army for that long so what else does Russia plan to do when Ukraine never gives in?
imho, Russia should directly blow up the next white powder western caravan that makes its way to Kiev. Killing an unelected bunch of EU leaders visiting a war zone is not a declaration of war. It would send a powerful message and does not require any strike on NATO. I can think of a few possible EU leaders that would not incite their populations to revenge but might elicit a general thanks to Russia.
I would take that imbecile Keith Kellogg’s damascene moment with a huge dose of salt, these Trump Assholes including Kellogg are playing Russia… they are and always have been co-belligerents, remaining so, every utterance regarding peace a sham, faux overtures whilst surreptitiously and nefariously green lighting, aiding and abetting every action including as we know from recent disclosures, Trumps administration despite advice denying knowledge of the recent attacks especially upon the Nuclear Triad Delivery Assets, have admitted to Green,ighting and being aware of approving the assassination campaign that has beset Russia targeting as it has military officers, journalists and citizens including one sweet Daughter of Russia as noted below… thus the U.S for all their bull shitzen denials are neck deep and fully inculcated this asymmetric Victoria Nuland announced terror warfare campaign being waged by the Azov Nazi scum led that drug addled pervert Elinskyy, he who made illegal the use of the letter “Z” go figure, says it all..
Following is a recent post in reply to Kremlin and Putin adviser, father of the late great Darya Dugina, [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darya_Dugina … Darya Aleksandrovna Dugina, also known under the pen name Daria Platonova, was a Russian journalist, political scientist, and activist. She was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a far-right political philosopher, whose political views and support for Vladimir Putin she shared ] sadly assassinated by the same Ukrainian terrorists led the aforementioned drug addled khaki clad pervert in Kiev, thus my response to the esteemed and beloved Prof Alexander Dugin.. answering and warning of the duplicit U.S behaviour, of their double speak, put simply the U.S, anything represented, undertaking given, promise made, agreement or contract signed cannot and must never be taken seriously, they are a nation who by their deeds and actions have proven and shown unequivocally they are not to be nor can be trusted.. period!!!
“Putin Wants All of Ukraine”: Dugin Breaks Down Trump’s Statement.
Hi Alexander, Prof Dugin, Your point made at the outset of your article “Trump sincerely wants to stop the war, and in my view, there is no deceit or falsehood in this. But he does not understand what kind of war this is“ …. to a degree I concede is correct. However I disagree with your argument and especially, that once again it seems that there exists a completely misguided faith that Russia is hanging onto by endeavouring to meet Trump and or his poisonous rhetoric and or demands, either Russia is involved in a unique and complex chess game with the most dangerous moves being this passive acceptance of every insult levelled at either the State or its Leadership, or once again Putin and leadership have because of wishful thinking misread the room, I admit, obviously I am not privy to every nuance determining or contributing to such a reaction, however my rationale for this thinking is as follows.. First and foremost Russia must keep uppermost in all of its thinking and deliberations just who are the actual prognosticators and belligerents, we know unequivocally the U.S has been primarily so and continues to be, undertaking such a position we know has been their want and agenda eversince the fall of the USSR, actually when one thinks about it, it is truly similar to the position adopted immediately post WW2, when we know the U.S together the U.K worked through their OSS, forerunner the CIA to destabilise via asymmetric means the USSR including especially upon the territory of Ukraine, many lives were lost and taken as a consequence, fast forward the present and the U.S are doing the exact same again, except this time more surreptitiously contrasted the overt basis they did so post WW2. The U.S leading and calling the shots have had a presence in that Nazi infested shithole Ukraine, culminating the CIA Paramilitaries, the numerous CIA Bases 14 at last count established on the Border, since the breakup of the USSR, as we know via USAID, the State Department, Victoria Nuland, Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt they orchestrated the overthrow of a legitimately elected government, provided hardware, intelligence, co ordinated and trained a proxy armed force Russia now fights, installed the new government, making top appointments to key roles, oversaw the shelling and illicit tactics deployed against Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas, Odessa, Zaparozhiya, and other Oblasts, had senators, political figures visiting both during and post the coup, publicly campaigning and calling for the overthrow of an elected leader and government, political interference writ large crikey, I say on steroids, they have supplied Weapons, and to top it off, from the beginning through the recent Raw Minerals agreement plundered and pillaged ex favourable terms Ukraines resources, bought the most productive lands, undertaken privatisation of Key Government Assets, stripping Ukraine just as occasioned the former USSR the 1990’s, they now call for peace all whilst arming and funding Ukraine, providing ongoing intelligence together their Western co Belligerents comprising the group of 50. In short they, the U.S and West just cannot be trusted, they speak with a forked tongue, their intentions far from gracious, noble nor friendly, this whilst present CIC Trump, throws poisonous barbs by way of his Soc Media Posts and verbals.. he is aided and abetted his administration using as he is the imbecilic Kellogg as is his want to whom it seems he pays great heed, whilst the true anti war members of his administration are sidelined, well, certainly upon the face of it one could so construe. In short I just would not trust the Americans, Russia does so as its peril, Russia is superior by way of Military Industrial Complex, militarily and mil technologically, in short it has become and rightfully reclaimed its position as a true Super power, its diplomats far better, its armed forces and defence industries light years ahead of the entire combined West, Russia is winning decisively against NATO, whilst the need to balance and be seen by Russia’s allies especially heavyweights China, India, Brazil, Indonesia etc.. together the Middle Eastern monarchic states is of great import, I feel the time for Russia to dictate has come, thus there can be no more placating, acquiescence nor subtle acceptance of Western belligerence, of its bellicose rhetoric of the rubbish espoused, nope, no longer. It’s time or seems damn close to the time that Russia needs to just say and respond with what needs to be said in response to the many barbs thrown, backing such responses up by being firm and prepared to back up its words as required, just as recently has been done the Baltics against those big mouthed pirates, thieves and wannabes. Russia has come through this baptism and crucible of fire with flying colours, time to stand tall, no longer pushed or to be pushed around, time the world treated you with the respect the nation has earned and as a result of recent successes on the battlefield in the diplomatic arena, so richly deserves, no longer to be timid, shy, instead, time for confidence, strength, and why not, what is there to stop Russia… five eights of f..k all I say.

Thank you and your comment underlines the truly repugnant and banal group think that dominates so called “society” in the U.S, it truly is an indictment on the nation that there is a seemingly rabid lust for death, destruction, injury, War… the number of nations that the the former European Kingdoms Holland, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Germany, the Pole Dancers have decimated especially in Africa and South America is legendary, however compared to the efforts of the U.K which as we know are off of the charts they having genocided many indigenous populations but then their efforts pale against the nation at the clear top of this hit parade… the U.S.. the following are telling statistics..
The Korean War (1950-53), up to 30% percent of the North Korean population were killed in the course of the Korean war.
“We Killed Off – What – Twenty Percent of the Population. We Burned Down every Town in North Korea…”
The above quotation is from General Curtis Lemay, who coordinated the bombing campaign (1950-53).
During the Korean War, the DPRK lost more than 25% of its population.
The Vietnam War (1965-1975).
According to a Vietnamese government statement in 1995 the number of deaths of civilians and military personnel during the Vietnam War was 5.1 million. (2)
Since deaths in Cambodia and Laos were about 2.7 million (See Cambodia and Laos) the estimated total for the Vietnam War is 7.8 million.
The Virtual Truth Commission provides a total for the war of 5 million, (3) and Robert McNamara, former Secretary Defense, according to the New York Times Magazine says that the number of Vietnamese dead is 3.4 million. (4,5) (Lucas, op cit)
The Indonesian massacre sponsored by US Intelligence (1965)
Indonesian Army death squads in 1965 and checked them off as they were killed or captured. Martens admitted that “I probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that’s not all bad. There’s a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment.” (1,2,3) Estimates of the number of deaths range from 500,000 to 3 million. (4,5,6)
The so-called Soviet Afghan War (1979-1989).
The U.S. is responsible for between 1 and 1.8 million deaths during the war between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, by luring the Soviet Union into invading that nation. (1,2,3,4) (Lucas op cit)

The Casualties of “The Post-War Era”
60 million lives lost during World War II and another 20 million lost during the “post-war era” according to estimates, total: more than 80 million lives.
What Would Happen if a Third World War Were to Break Out?
While one can conceptualize the loss of life and destruction resulting from WWI, WWII as well as Iraq, Syria and Yemen, it is impossible to fully assess the devastation which would result from a Third World War, using the most advanced weapons systems until it actually occurs and becomes a reality, and then it is too late.
Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Kashmir, Syria, all being theatres the U.S is presently engaged not forgetting its misadventures fomenting conflicts in Chechnya, Georgia earlier this century… all instigated to satisfy a lust for conflict that dominates..
Recall .. the only reason for staying in Afghanistan so long, with no prospect of was to secure control of Afghanistan's resources for the US. Or, more correctly, for the oligarchs who control US policy and who will reap the benefits--while the people of the US (and Afghanistan, much more so) pay the costs.
FACT: The land under poppy cultivation (and opium production) has tripled since the US entered Afghanistan in 2001, helped by US spending for wells, roads and "reconstruction." Opium sales netted the U.S $200Billion per annum on average each year the U.S was on the ground… nice to know your service if you served had such huge upside.. though the real cause was despicable .. little wonder leaving all that hardware there hardly caused angst, by the date of withdrawn, do the math, 20x $200b =….. what’s a few lazy billion in hardware compared to that windfall…
FACT: Ground was broken for Afghanistan's first gas pipeline, TAPI, in December 2015, though it still needs investors. It is in part a joint venture between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, thus the name TAPI. Presumably the militaries of all these countries can be enlisted to protect the pipeline. And presumably, private pipeline projects will remain on hold until their security can be guaranteed by US taxpayers.
Connect the dots. As pipeline projects expand, as the number of mines increases, as Afghanistan retains its role as the world's #1 heroin-producing nation, so will our military presence remain, and grow… Syria and Assad, his ouster was because he said no to the Mid East Monarchies, Israel, Turkey led the U.S pipeline deal to pipe gas and oil to Europe via Turkey… for exercising a sovereign rate he was regime changed, his nation sanctioned into oblivion and the U.S occupied (still do) the Syrian oil fields and wheat/grains producing provinces… just another day at the office , whilst a similar day occasioned Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi who was ousted for daring to establish a Libyan gold backed currency that he promoted to be used Africa wide.. his reward sodomised to death with a knife for which Sec State HRC cackled…
Importantly, the U.S is a nation that between the years 1776 through 2014 had enjoyed only 16 years without its armed forces being in conflict, whether genociding its indigenous Indian populace or as has become its want, been waging war around the globe… truly symptomatic of a serious psychosis afflicting the so called elites in that nation… just saying
Throughout their colonial history Europeans (esp. Brits and French) used the same "Divide and Conquer" strategy to have other nations fight each other for the benefit of the Imperialist Oligarchy.
And the best way to analyze how the U.S. operates is to remember how it was created in the first place.
As the European powers were realizing that direct conflict with each other was becoming counterproductive, they conspired to create a pirate colony of which they would all benefit. There were some bitter fights over the arrangement, but it is still part of the European style of Empire.
That's why the U.S. is more like a Corporation than a Country.. That's why the orange clown presents himself as a CEO, bragging about "good deals".
Exactly, Washington D.C is still a Corporation… just like its counterpart, the “City” in London… check the records, and thank you for mentioning France, I knew I’d missed an obvious…. best to you..
US Sadists will get all it gave in the coming civil war. They have 500 million guns and hate each other too... with no food. Will be one hell of a sight. Halloween for real everyday for years
No one is buying US bonds so the printing press will turn USA into Weimar/Zimbabwe within 5 years.
‼️Breaking update with new satellite photos of Russia's Olenya base which claims to show destroyed Tu-95s: refresh the report above to see the new images.
Thanks for the update. The photo shows four destroyed aircraft that look like Tu-95s and one An-12. You're right about this:
"However, some have claimed at least 2 of these do not appear to have had engines which could make them inoperable/backup or junk planes; there’s no way of knowing for definite at the moment."
Very well said.
If you travel around Russia and visit airbases (in past years you could just drive or walk up to the perimeters of some of the bigger ones and look at aircraft through the chain link fences) one of the things that strikes you is the vast number of Soviet-era aircraft parked in the bases. With well over 500 Tu-95 aircraft that's a huge number that are spread around being used as boneyard or parts aircraft. The problem for drone operators in an attack like the one that just happens is telling the boneyard aircraft from flyers.
Given the usual ratios of inoperable aircraft parked at airfields to active status ones, you have to divide any evidence of "killed" aircraft by 2 or 3 at least to get a real number of active aircraft killed. If you see evidence of four Tu-95's destroyed, count that as one or two flyers destroyed.
But all that is somewhat irrelevant as those aircraft had no role in the Ukraine conflict and didn't matter at all to Russia's strategic deterrent, which is based on missiles.
The attack is an irrelevancy. It reminded me of the V-weapons program. Waving your hand off in another direction to convince others that you aren't collapsing.
https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/goeb69.htm - I was reminded of this when reading the propaganda spewing from the Ukraine.
The Russian media has been minimizing the damage, but the PR problem is huge. Ukraine gets continuing support and Z looks like a hero. Reminder: Russia is fighting NATO, not Ukraine. Russia can kill every f'ing Ukrainian soldier and still lose the war. NATO gained more citizens thinking it is easy to take Russia down.
How do you figure? This is usual great power stuff. The longer the US stays invested, the worse the damage to prestige when we lose. The Ukraine cannot win. This is just like Vietnam and Afghanistan. For some reason we seem to be addicted to getting into fights we can't win.
I'm sure the Ukrainians are loving every minute of these meaningless propaganda blurbs as half the country has fled or been killed. The moment for crying uncle is very close as the retreats continue.
In what alternative planet is Zelensky a "hero". The world knows he is a coked up figurehead. He has dragged his country into a pointless war, lost a third of his population to emigration, killed an entire generation of adult men and is now dragging teenagers off the streats to die in a meat grinder.
Who exactly his heroising him? Even his handlers in Langley and London dont respect him. They are using him, and they have his replacements in reserve.
That is being a tool, not a hero.
The American, British, and Western Mass Media (of course).
That is an alternative planet which few actually believe. Their trust has dropped like a rock.
I think some have to be dragged and some go on their own. We do not know the proportion. Truth is however that until the majority grasps the depth of the problem there will not be a change. Even if their gov. signed a peace deal the hot heads would still want more war. And that is because the knockout effect is missing.
The Penis Piano Player looks like a hero only to late-stage syphilitics and people with IQ well below body temperature. What they believe or do not believe matters not at all, as they will believe the diametrical opposite tomorrow regardless of the actual facts. President Putin, like China, practices politics in the scale of thousand year bites, not 24 hour news cycles.
It doesn't matter if all they actually hit were a couple of inoperable helicopters. The attack was successful, as to the extent it put Russian incompetence (such an attack was entirely predictable and not stopped) and indecision (pretend that anyone had tried such a stunt on the United States and imagine the reaction) on full display.
Exactly. It's not a fuck-up. It's impossible to stop this type of thing
What a stupid comment.
Terrorism is unavoidable. It is the resort of large Empires (the AngloZioshphere) when they cannot win any other way.
How did the USSR do this?
By being almost as nasty as the West.
Even taking that as given, it worked.
Do what, exactly? Control a massive porous border? Saying that modern day Russia is weak because the USSR wasnt attacked with a technology that wouldn't come to exist for another 30 to 40 years seems extremely disengenious, even for you Feral.
So why does nobody do this to the United States right now?
As you've said to several other posters in this thread;
So you don't have an answer. Gotcha.
Easy. Because there are no Russia, China, NK, Iran or whatever financed and intelligence supported groups at war with or in terror against the US.
I just read an article with the contents "damn, our B2 and B52 bases in the US are at least as vulnerable as the Russian ones". Maybe.
Lenin believed that quantity eventually becomes quality. Your row of questions proves him wrong. They are increasingly flaccid and silly.
@Feral Finster
"How did the USSR do this?"
----------
The USSR never really DID "seal their border". With much smaller borders, the USA never really has either. Having crossed one of those countries borders more than once without interacting with their customs (not smuggling, just not wanting to waste time), I can say it ain't even hard if you know the terrain.
Fair enough. We know such an attack is feasible. The question is why nobody does it, and the answer is because the consequences would be biblical.
@Feral Finster
Yes, the majority of terrorist attacks ever carried out within the USA had to get past none of our borders as they originated from within the USA (many with either the tactical acquiescence of state security cadres or at their overt instigation).
None of our adversaries are under the illusion that terrorism by ACTUAL outside entities would benefit said outsiders, they would lack the required ability to spin the narrative and sculpt the public reaction toward any desired outcomes due to not owning the US "alternative" or MSM-
As far as meaningful degradation of any US military physical capabilities by "terrorists"? No.
Terrorism isn't about putting an armored division or a strategic bomber wing out of commission, it's about perceptions.
Well, one can't argue that even a single Tu-95 destroyed is pretty bad news from a variety of perspectives.
Basically, another fuckup after fuckup.
Where in your row of "fuckups" do you put the 20% of formerly Ukrainian territory which is now Russia (with another 20% coming soon)? And where to do you put the current kill ratio in favor of Russia of 1:20?
Thank you for showing your Ukrainian finesse, quality of upbringing, level of thought and diplomatic ability. You are on perpetual ignore as a perfect waste of skin.
We will never know what the actual kill ratio is because the media lie to us all over the place. Even if the did not for knowing the truth all books would have to be opened and that is only possible if one side is conquered completely by the other. I do not see Russia trying and I do not see NATO succeeding w/o the world burning to the point this question becomes irrelevant.
You are trying to change the subject.
No. I am restoring perspective.
G'day Simplicious, then why come out with what seems like Zanon stuff? Also did I miss your comments on the outright terror attacks on civilian transport and infrastructure with the loss of life again.
It is utterly irrelevant in practical terms. A small embarrassment in PR terms.
Russia practices war and realpolitik, and winning, while the Ukraine and the West play Goebbelsian/Bernaysian propaganda games starring a homosexual buffoon and cokehead, penis piano player.
Russia's one error lately has been to not flood the airwaves with a damage assessment of the Oreshnik strike. I suspect they will demonstrate it again, in several places, and correct that error.
Nothing Ukraine does now will save it.
In the end, just as people took down the color-atrocious Ukrainian rags (derived from an Austrian cavalry pennant), they will deny ever having supported the JudaeoNazi Quislings of Khuyev.
Whatever Russia does, the Western public gets only a curated view. The Americans do not even know where the war is and the EU citizens know only what the MSM tells them. There are minorities who have enough interest to find out what is a lie and to some extent what the truth my be. The way this went especially in EU - our "representatives" went so far and burnt so many bridges that the come back would require a military defeat or collapse of the existing power structure the way the French revolution destroyed the old France.
Andrei M. says Putin has been too considerate of Ukrainians entering Russia. He says Putin regards Ukrainians as Slavic brother. So they put up with quite a bit of terrorism which the West likes to punch them up with so Putin can looks peaceable. He also puts up with a lot of Russian radicals, although the Left paints him totalitarian. Putin leaves the bridges of the Dnieper flow with arms. And he has left a lot of places exist that others would have obliterated. I think they need to entirely re-do their PR and act less legalistic and patient, and a bit unhinged and dangerous. Everyone is sleeping tonight comfortably watching Rachael Meadow laugh at Putin rather than wondering if the lights will go on and if their cars will start in the morning, and why there is not electricity or water and not TV to watch Rachael on because NATO attacked Russia's nuclear triad.
Hope you didnt miss the 4-minute film about the attack. It is on X and in one of my comments.
Uki always narrate and mix their films but you can clearly see enough planes getting destroyed or severly hit. It was striking that they didnt explode on contact. They landed on the planes and then detonated.
Russia will be forced to escalate.
john helmer discussed this in a video earlier today with dimitri lascaris.. i recommend the video on the discussion of the importance of escalation dominance...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jQmghifv0
True, but HOW they escalate is the question. The neocons wants Putin to go overboard and over-react.
I answered that in my most recent post above.
A recent media outlet report mentioned that the EU still imports 15% of gas demand from Russia via Southstream as well as LNG. Another media report yesterday from Zman concerned that Ukraine is running out of gas - dependent on flows from the EU
A clear message to back off can be made by suspending exports via pipeline and tanker for a period of time, citing 'security concerns'. A loss of 15% of vital imports during winter storage refill season (April - October) will make EU decision makers sit up and pay attention
If that message goes unheeded, start picking off the huge underground gas storage facilities one by one - bear in mind the Ukrainian UGS system, the third largest globally, account for over 25% of total EU bloc strategic reserve capacity.
Or blow up the new Baltics pipeline going from Norway to Poland. Tit for tat.
Or embargoing prescious metals and materials that Russia uniquely possesses.
I understand taking the high road but at some point it becomes foolish to fight a guy with your fists when he has a knife.
Yet isn't that the RFed plan to take the moral high ground in a street fight and complain to the umpire when their rules are impinged by the otherside. Business is of paramount importance not winning it seems.
Of late you see the contrary side -- they play polite and fight to win. And they are winning and they will win. NATO should think twice about sending any troops. Russia has friends too, all of whom would like a chance at applying all the military training they have received at home and gaining field experience. Thus preparing for any challenges to their sovereignty down the road.
I hope you are right Norma but we will see what response comes from the attack on the numerous airfields and complete breach of security and second attack on Russia's nuclear capabilities.
NATO (negro and Tranny Org) has no troops to send.
No one in their right mind wants a world war. The risk of it going nuclear is frighteningly high. Then, who wins?
Of course, we have been promised this victory for over three years now, but it never comes.
Stop kidding yourself.
Crying "terrorist! No fair!"
Of course NATO and its Ukrainian buttboi are terrorists. What does Russia propose to do about it?
Interesting to note the new Baltics pipeline crosses over Nordstream, and was officially declared open days after the NS pipeline attack.
The whole premise of this war waged by NATO is control over the flow of energy
and the port of Odessa. That is the Golden Fleece for NATO.
Sevastopol! Funny how the goals now differ from Minsk 1.0
Oh if they had it to do over? Yup same decisions, some still profit, no matter what cost the little folk pay.
The pipeline thing -- it has resonance. Good thing I only do the dog-paddle in a pool and not skin-diving in the Baltic.
And Germany had to lower the warning level for gas reserves.
I heard they were rationing warm water, too. My reaction was, "next comes oxygen."
No, no, let’s commodify oxygen and sell it to those who can afford it!
OR ban it to our enemies. and nobody better share theirs with them, either!
That might have the unintended consequence of shortening the not a war in Russia's favour. I ask you is that likely?
Sites around Lvov and Ivano-Frankivst have been hit several times already, the last reported strike some time ago triggered a spike in gas prices on the Dutch TTF futures trading floor.
A high-impact non-kinetic option that would directly affect NATO nations, and turn the populations against the governments in protest at spiralling costs of living
But Hungary and Slovakia and Serbia need that gas and are the EU troublemakers. We must support them!
That is what Oreshniks are for. That and destroying the vast underground cities that the Ruling Classes of Anglo-Zionists plan to sit out nuclear winter in. Destroy one or two, since Oreshnikking the steel plant, with city-sized fallout-shelter beneath it, in The Ukraine has not properly 'sunk in' yet.
Russia's mistake was allowing that strike to be silenced. They hoped politely, as always, that the Political and Presstitute SSholes of the West would sober up and mention something about it in the media! But "Hope springs eternal, Baldrick" as Blackadder used to say!
Russia should have done its own damage assessment and broadcast it.
Now, on coming strikes, it will be sure to do so.
have the Houthis hit the illegal jew state hard....
Rather, NATO knows that Russia is loathe to escalate, so they strike with total impunity.
So? What can they do to Russia that hasn't been already tried and failed in the past three years?
They do have a few options. Nuclear war would be an obvious one.
But also, they could, in theory, formally declare war on Russia in hopes that Russia yields.
Incredibly stupid move, but it's exactly the kind of thing that fits them politically.
Both these options are about as likely as a week with two Tuesdays.
By Who?
And why does Russia care what they do?
Russia is not the only nuclear armed state, but even a strategic nuke would pit NATO immediately against Russia and with what I am seeing, they are not ready for a fight on 3 different fronts. Iran would cow out, NK would not be able to do much if anything, China would play it all off "we are not involved". What escalation would you expect?
"Iran would cow out" Bullshit.
"NK would not be able to do much if anything" More bullshit.
"China would play it all off "we are not involved"." Absolute bullshit.
A trifecta. Congratulations.
What evidence is there that convinces you that China would step up to the plate and support Russia militarily? Thanks.
Everything that the Chinese and Russians have said about that reinforces that fact.
Because if Russia goes, China is next. Same reason both Russia and China support Iran.
Absolutely correct! For China to allow Russia to be taken down would be a suicidal act.
Yet China limits its support to Russia out of fear of secondary sanctions.
China just wishes that this whole thing would go away. This is naive in the extreme.
china is happily selling drones to ua. they have 0 interest in any military conflict w/ the usa. they would sign a deal w/ washington the same second moscow gets nuked. if the chinese are famous for anything, it is that they r absolutely opportunistic.
You do know the Chinese have officially stated that if European troops are deployed to Ukraine they will become directly involved? Russia is a part of a military block the CSTO (collective security treaty organization). This is a security organization of former Soviet states in the East Russia has not gotten to the point where they had to activate the security members for help. North Korea is already involved, Iran is already involved supplying drone technology since 2022. The only major Eastern states that would be in doubt would be India and Vietnam having very good relationship since the days of the USSR.
G'day seeker, how many European troops has the RF killed in Ukraine but I haven't seen any Chinese response. Evidence suggests even Western senior officers have died alongside their hohol allies. Simp has written of the deaths repeatedly.
The alleged European combatants that are casualties in the conflict are unofficial not direct participants from NATO countries. If European countries send troops under their flags officially then that is legally a different situation. What the Chinese have done for the Russians is much more than direct military involvement as China is the reason Russia is not having very serious inflation. So China is having an economic offensive against the US while Russia keep them occupied with military realities.
All of this reminds me of the Spanish Civil War before the breakout of WW 2
"You do know the Chinese have officially stated that if European troops are deployed to Ukraine they will become directly involved?"
Link? The only statement I have seen is a warning from NATO to China to keep out.
What could NATO possibly use to threaten China, strong language or colorful adjectives? NATO bluff as that's all the paper tiger is capable of.
Ok, you don't have a link, I see.
You need to hit the reply button under the comment you're actually replying to.
None of that is relevant to the questions I asked.
Read the replies
None of which answer my questions.
All of which pertain to the original post, not mine, which means UpgradeToFounding chose the wrong reply button, easy enough to do.
If Russia had escalated earlier, perhaps NATO would have stepped back. Perhaps not...
Maybe…
They can take it to the chin and slowly perform the SMO until objectives achieved.
What is mezmerising is that they seem to have no plan to achieve de-nazifying, de-militarization, sanctions lifted and the 5 oblasts recognized by the ”international order”.
What we see is the crawling to secure the four oblasts and a cordon sanitaire in front of Orel, Kursk, Brijansk and Belgorod.
How do they think they can lift the sanctions without deploying some force to the demand?
It is obvious Putin is hoping for a pragmatic solution were US/EU force Ukraine to comply instead of escalating and risk a doomsday War. It could very well succeed with enough patience.
Patience and perception is what Ukis, little brits and other evil master are battling.
Make Russians patience were off. Build up a perception of defeat with controlled media and stunts/real damage to the Russian federation. They cant military wise defeat Russia and I think US already knows it.
The escalation option is still there and I dont see how Russia could achieve all objectives with the ”SMO” without a clear slap in the face on the UK/EU.
This is why you are not a high ranking military person.
No high rank military or politician can answer those questions.
No one knows how this ends.
And you dont even bother to discuss it.
Just disparage me.
Do you have anything of substance to write?
Reread your post. You made an assumption that Russian military command has “no plan.”
What is your military rank?
You are more interested in me than the conflict….weird.
I did not write anything about the Russian military commands plans.
I wrote ” they seem to have no plan to achieve de-nazifying, de-militarization, sanctions lifted and the 5 oblasts recognized by the ”international order” meaning the political leadership of Russia of course.
Russia will be forced to stabilize by the appropriate response with a multiplier effect added to get the attention of any remaining sane people in the West.
They are exagerating the success of the attack. NATO claims between 30 and 40 planes whereas Russia concedes only 5. The point is to make Putin look weak before the Russian citizens, make his feet tumble and get regime change in Russia by 5th or 6th columnists, like some GM posting here, what has always been NATOs goal. Two ways or warefare are clashing in Ukranian: the Russian industrial warfare, and the western psychological warfare. Both excede at their own realm. The Russians are methodical. The anglosaxons are spectacular. The new attach on Kerch tries to make the Russians look desperate. Its all about perception. Whereas Russia seems to prevail at a ground materialistic level, they seem cornered at an ideological informational level. Putin's reputation certainly took a blow. The country seems defenceless and unresponsive. But Trump lost the last sparks of his winner halo too. He looks like a puppet or a liar or both. All to provoke a world war which will withdraw the western unpayable debt and secular theft on the world. They will keep on banging the bear's head, since it doesnt retaliate to the serpent's head.
Silent weapons for a silent war, invisible weapons for an invisible war, but still the war will go on forever. All will be dead and spent, useless, no traces leaving and all will be called heroes.
It’s a given that here going to over exaggerate!
Very good summary. Material war vs psychological war, with Trump and Putin both dented.
No GM (General Melschit) sighted thus far, possibly honing his state of the art military tactical skills by watching the 1968 film of “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. He may or may not realise this version is a satire.
lol
Yes, $34T (or is it more?) will vanish. Like the blackout in Spain. An engineer said that the Spanish electrical grid lost 15 gigawatts in 1.5 seconds!
“Spectacular” attacks just for show accomplish nothing inside Russia. Neither the leadership nor the citizenry are deterred in the least from continuing to prosecute the war. They are no less motivated or capable than before. In contrast, Russia’s material destruction of Ukraine’s military and its infrastructure hamper its ability to continue fighting. That is the very reason why Ukraine is resorting to show off tactics.
I will give the Ukies some credit for being willing to sacrifice everything in a losing cause—and I do mean everything by the time this war is finished. Or perhaps they deserve an award for pigheaded stupidity. Oh, it’s the stupid award for sure.
Why hasn’t Russia responded to the brazen attack on one of its nuclear mechanism? It’s been 3 days!
One never reacts when emotions are high but waits and keeps the opposition guessing and then one strikes devastatingly , kiev wont have electricity or water if i were in charge .
The Greek way is to follow the middle never going to extremes . The anglojewish way is to always go to extremes
Well put. I wish to cultivate the same composure Putin has
>One never reacts when emotions
That is correct, one reacts the way one is supposed to react.
In this case the use-it-or-lose-it principle applies.
And Russia is losing it.
Hey Kon we are still waiting for a response in regards the hohols attack on Russia's early warning radar of a nuclear strike that was over a year I believe.
For the same reason that these planes are no longer in production and were unguarded--nukes are a psychological operation!
Dr Khinzal has already entered the chat. We haven't seen one of those used for months. Something very important went boom in Ukraine.
More of the usual concern troll shit
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Because the Russian leadership is dithering and indecisive.
And you don't have a clue.
That you are unable to provide a substantive rebuttal merely shows that I am right.
Unsurprisingly, Bezugly is a WEF School For Young Leaders graduate.
good find.
The most striking thing is Russia’s display of self-discipline. They absorbed the provocations without overreacting, which I suspect caught NATO off guard. The Russian strategy remains intact; either a peace agreement on Moscow’s terms, or the full capitulation of Kiev.
Hezbollah was self-disciplined too.
What happened to them?
True. But perhaps what exacerbated their situation is that they’re not a conventional army with a wide geography. On top of that, most Lebanese factions either oppose them outright or reject their broader vision, which likely limits their operational flexibility. Either way, Hezboallah and Russian military capabilities are not comparable.
Of course, I’m no expert, just a humble personal observation.
Hezbollah was supposed to have amassed a vast underground missile arsenal capable of disarminig Israel.
But all they did was taking some potshots at limited range across the border.
They made zero attempt to kill the Israeli airforce, which was they key part of preventing themselves being destroyed, and did no damage on Israeli general infrastructure either. Hit the desalination plants, and what happens in Israel?
This even after the heavy bombs started raining all over Lebanon.
Which, BTW, has not stopped to this day, despite Hezbollah's capitulation.
Sure, Russia is vast, has enormous resources, etc. It will be much harder to bring down. But the resources are not infinite (as the planes acutely demonstrate -- all that Russia can muster right now as new production is 1-2 Tu-160M a year) and the exact same principle applies, it is only a matter of time.
And if Russia would have fully supported Syria about 10 years ago, by giving them advanced air defense to stop Israel from bombing at will, then both Syria and Lebanon might still be in the axis of resistance today.
Clearly Putin made a deal with Israel.
Correct.
Were it otherwise, Putin would have been JFK'd long ago.
We've no idea how many attempts have been made.
Scott Ritter, Laith Marouf and others (perhaps Colonel Wilkerson) spent months assuring us of the vast and profound capabilities of Hezbollah and it was all fantasy to my dejection.
I am not so sure. Someone must have given the Houthis all their fancy equipment - I see no way that this arsenal was built on spot, as I see no way that Hezbollah could produce anything without external deliveries. As both parties have the same supplier, and this supplier is under pressure too, Hezbollah, contrary to the picture painted by Isreal, might have been an empty shell.
By that logic, Ukraine's time will run out first.
The toll of civilian life, health and structure was too high. And lebanon ist not united, there are several fractions.
Indeed. They know every Hezbollah village, neighbourhood / area, where the parents, grandparents, children, disabled, livestock etc live. So the fighters are safe in the tunnels, while their civilians are slaughtered. The price of resistance is too high.
But without resistance they are slaughtered perennially anyway. Arabs are Amaleks to the Mizrahi not just the Palestinians.
So, you are saying that Israeli tactics work.
Of course they work. Hezbollah went to war, with no air defence, against an air power that had intelligence on the whereabouts of their families and communities.
The go and do likewise, or get used to losing.
Yes. The way of Jew war is to murder civilians. It’s in their stupid book. We are all Amalek to the Jew
I beg to differenciate between Jews and Israelis/Zionists. The crazy thing is that most of them are atheists but take some weird pieces of the bible to justify their cruelty.
Don't. Feed. The. Troll.
why is naming the jew a troll? seems you are just a jew defending its tribe...
Oh for Pete's sake.
Jews have had 100 years to realise the full extent and import of Zionism and here all we are in 2025 watching The Jewish State happily smear children across the rubble of their refugee dwellings.
why do you defend the jew?
zionist = jews.
NYU defines Zionist is an identity meriting protection under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. IHRA definition will be across the JewSA because that is what the jew wants..
G'day Johannes, check out the survey done in Ireal in regards the genocide in Gaza it is supported by more than just the Kahanists or settlers etc at over 60%. So secular European Ashkenazims support as well.
You seem to overlook the fact that not all Jews are living in Israel. Lies from Netanjahus Government and neglect of security have caused their hate towards all Palestininans. That was not always the case.
Real Jewishness according to god commandments and the prohets does not support the cruelty the zionists are doing. Rabbi Weiss prays every day for the peaceful dimantling of the Jewish State.
They did not have 1% of Russia’s resources and strategic depth. Russia could eat Israel like a biscotti any time it wanted.
Exactly. Comparing a military ‘group’ to a great power military ‘institutions’ is not relevant at all.
Agreed...it's comparing apples to oranges, Russia is engaged in a civilizational confrontation. The West Asia business...not so much.
It needs to do that if Russia wants to survive. Death to isreal.
There was never any economy or solid reliable financial source behind Hezbollah. Russia however is a real country, with real ressources and the ability to keep on going forever.
Well, that's one thing NATO nations, USA in particular, have no direct experience with..self-discipline.
They continue to fight the diaper wearing IOF and have been barely touched with all of the jew and dons full court press.
The europeans are desperate to provoke Russia into an escalation that they hope will bring in the US to support their own escalations.
Russia would be advised to take these hits, hit back where it can without spiralling this, and continue with its advance. I know it is hard to swallow this but the Europeans are reaching a break point with their own escalation efforts without putting in troops on the ground. Once they do this Russia can really finish them off as has happened to NATO and the US in bygone times. It is a european disaster waiting in the wings, not a Russian one.
Since London lost their Russian collateral assets, the City lost the capacity to both flush new credits and pay back the existing ones. The debt is unpayable without new debt emissions. The only issue is default... Or hardship clauses like WAR to withdraw the debt. The will eventually nuke Russia to get to their goal the question belng only how soon.
No, the war will not go nuclear. Russia has the capacity to strike european capitals and that closes this option down. Nor will they put in troops on the ground. Support for Ukraine will be withdrawn first so that Ukraine is forced into a surrender deal. This is how this will end.
Not so certain about that. The Western faction running this show is not any government but financiers and banking interests. Such are not concerned with loyalty to any state. They have run out of collateral to support their debt, so their only realistic Get-Out-of-Jail option is war to cancel that debt. Russia and China understand this and act accordingly with great patience.
Yeah, but nuclear war does not serve the financier interests either. Rather they will turn the thumb screws on european governments and the UK to make good their holes- at the expense of citizens as is already being planned.
Certainly nukes will be the last choice, if they survive financially that long.
The corrupt political puppets placed into power in Britain and most of Europe, have no concern for the well being of the citizens of these nations. This can be seen with the ethnic cleansing both from the ongoing Covid19 biological terror attacks, and mass importation of militants primarily from Muslim States that have suffered for multiple decades from the Zionists that control Western Governments through Banking and 5th column business and political leaders.
The problem is that although they might not want nuclear war, their stupid and evil actions might well provoke that. They have no understanding of what they are doing. It would be very easy to blunder into nukes.
This perhaps is why Russia, China and others are stacking up physical Gold and Silver like there's no tomorrow. Western FIAT economies are bankrupt and it looks like nobody is buying US Treasuries, they're selling.
This is the only scenario with explanatory power. Otherwise we are asked to believe England, France and Germany are willing to gamble on their own destruction because something something democracy and something something Putin bad.
That is true but how else can nato (Jews) escalate ? It will not go nuclear
I wouldn't count on that - if they are desperate they might just go off the rail.
hope you're right, but that looks too optimistic.
You're thinking rationally, Jullianne, which is something that isn't happening in London, DC, Berlin and Paris. These people would be happy destroying the world if they thought it could stop Russia and China. Nothing will change until the current Western leadership is expelled and replaced.
Current western “leadership” decides nothing. BlackRock and financial Vampire Squid, made of degenerate super-wealthy banking families, decide everything.
The US is an oligarchy.
The UK is a kingdom owned by zio-banking cartel; ‘ Friends of Israel in the UK’ dominate everywhere.
Western civilization was devoured by bankers and by war profiteers like Blair, Arbuthnot, Cheney, et al.
The shameless kol-nidreied global jewry has been playing its usual subversive role.
Your view is correct and would have been the most important issue some years ago. But the (Western) world is facing an economic crisis, not a financial one. Of course, when looking at Starmer, Merz, or Macron, these leaders do not even know what they are facing, but they will learn it the hard way. Remember, the last economic crisis was the oil shock; that was in the '70s. Only people well above the age of 70 have personal experience with such a crisis—and you will find hardly any of them not being retired.
I am sorry to break the news to you. "This" everything you see right now IS the US. It is not "The Europeans" or NATO or Ukraine. I cannot believe so many "trusted sources" in alternative media are now parroting this nonsense. Once again people want to believe so they will but these "analysts" really just people who make a bunch of money pushing intel agency talking points. Go back and listen to Pete the Zionist in his very 1st speech to those Europeans. He told them exactly what they would do which is they would lead the publicity charge in the fight against Russia. The CIA is and has been embedded in Ukraine since the 40's and 50's. Your premise that Russia does NOT want to bring in the US is not it. The Kremlin knows the US is in and has been in, President Putin does not brief me, but he is not relying on the NYT and Washington Post to decide if the US knows about the terrorist attacks that itself is planning and executing. I don't know why I bother , people "believe" what they want even when the evidence is overwhelming.
I agree. The USA Deep State and the neocons in government have been running American foreign policy for many decades.
Trump blabbered before the recent attacks on Russian air assets that “bad things can happen..”
Of course he knew and approved them.
Indeed, Nuland said something similar then shortly afterwards a terrorist attack occurred.
Ukraine’s attack had little military value, just embarrassment and minor financial loss for Russia. The real goal was poisoning US-Russia relations.
Three possibilities:
Ukraine went rogue, attacking without telling the US, proving it sabotages US interests.
US intel knew but didn’t tell Trump, those responsible should be jailed.
The White House knew and lied, destroying trust.
Russia can’t be sure the US was unaware. Attacking bombers violates the trust behind treaties like START. If a Russian ally hit US bombers, America would blame Moscow and likely go to war.
Consequences:
If Trump knew, any US-Russia reconciliation is dead. China will note the betrayal.
If the Deep State hid this, their sabotage is terrifying.
If Ukraine thought falsely implicating the US would work, they miscalculated.
If Trump truly didn’t know, he must act decisively to restore credibility.
Either way, trust is shattered.
US is owned by bankers and dual loyalty oligarchs. They are possessed by greed, and they are consistently dishonorable.
Also, any society that values self preservation must ban Judaism, including its cancerous offshoot the Zionism.
G'day Anna, why not Catholicism as well the Pentecostals next. AIPAC is a definite problem though.
It seems all these idiot politicians cannot shut up. They are so proud of themselves they must "talk" in public.
"The europeans are desperate to provoke Russia into an escalation that they hope will bring in the US to support their own escalations."
Taking that as given, if Russia doesn't respond the way the europeans want, the solution is simply to keep behaving more and more recklessly until they get the desired response.
It's a no-lose game. Keep taking cheap shots until Russia finally responds, then run screaming to the Americans.
Of course, if the United States were serious about not intervening, they need only publicly and plainly state that if europe persists in such behavior, the United States will not come to their rescue, including if Russia hits back. Watch european tails tuck between european legs.
That the United States does not make such statement tells us all we need to know.
Meanwhile Russia is advancing in Ukraine. It is not sitting there inert taking the punishment. It is simply that the punishment is bouncing off a very tough hide. But when the time comes it will turn its attention to these irritants and deal with them. It is getting stronger all the time. There is a level of escalation to which these euronutters cannot go. and Russia has good defences against everything else. Of course they can bring the end of the world down on their own heads and every one else's. They are not however that daft or suicidal.
The next practical level is troops on the ground. They have tried threatening that and Russia just beckoned them into the abyss. They backed off. This is where we really are. Russia will turn Ukraine and then it can consider what to do with the likes of Starmer and Macron. This is the denouement that is on the horizon, not some prospect of an ever greater escalation of western might!
We've been hearing that cope for years as well.
It has indeed been a long slow grind to victory. That is not a cope. It is just the Russian way of winning, FF.
This mythical "Russian way of winning" is another cope, ignoring examples when Russia was decisive such as the Brusilov Offensive, Bagration, August Storm, or, for that matter, the invasion of Czechoslovakia or the 2008 war with Georgia.
Those are just the first examples off the top of my head.
As an average American, I'm torn:
Shouldn't we be focusing on improving the lives of Americans? Wouldn't peace and free trade with China and Russia help that goal? Why do we care about how other countries get run?
On the other hand...
If what the history books and the media shows us is true, then the corruption and abuse of those countries needs to stop. But can America really try to lecture others, when our country has so much corruption and issues of its own?
As an average "American" (Mexican? Peruvian?) your ignorance and bias is showing and expected. China and Russia corrupt and abusive according to your media and your equally laughable "history" books LOL
We have enough corruption in our own country to keep us busy for decades. China and Russia are choir boys compared to what's going on in Europe. The US and its "allies" have no business preaching to anyone.
This is about power and money, not spreading "democracy".
Having worked overseas for 22 years I had to listen to the bullshit Americans continually lecture us on corruption and the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). The people/companies that broke that act consistently were Americans or American companies. Then there was the UK Bribery Act which was as much of a joke as the FCPA. Holier than thou Americans need to fuck off.
How about Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal spending US$800,000 taxpayer dollars on their recent hotel stay in Kiev? Couple of day stay and nearly a million spent. How many Ukraine male models did that queer Graham pay to polish his knob? Or is most of it being funneled back into his offshore bank accounts?
We keep trying to get our country back, but the rot in our government is deep. Our allies aren't any better.
Way too deep. The only remaining options are socio-economic implosion or revolution, either leading to a new America - the question being, "What kind of America?".
Why is it necessary for America to be in the business of 'monitoring' or intervening in other countries? I know that the American public don't want this, and never have wanted it. So they have to be spun a children's story to whip up their emotions. Your enemy is your own system, not Russia or anyone else. If there is endemic corruption in another country it is the responsibility of that countries populace to fight against it.
I don't understand how you can be "torn".
>Shouldn't we be focusing on improving the lives of Americans?
The only reason the lives of Americans are as good as they are right now is that the US is looting much of the rest of the world.
The primary reason America did not collapse already in the 1990s was that the USSR convenitantly did so first and the West got a chance to loot it as well as all other territories that used to associate with the Soviet bloc.
But the effects from that shot in the arm wore off by the mid-00s. Thus going to war now.
You need to specify who is the "we" in your questions.
You *especially* need to separate "history books" and media as sources. Hint: treat media sources the way science does; as irrelevant untrustworthy gossip.
And you *absolutely* need to stop colouring other countries as "corrupt" and "abusive" unless you live in a totally corruption and abuse free country (insert saying about glass houses and throwing stones)
That's what a majority of Americans voted Trump back in for: make AMERICA great again, not Israel or Ukraine. They have been cheated.
Nobody cares about improving the lives of Americans, nobody on Team R, nobody on Team D.
Zelensky, and friends with benefits, operation Web mirrors Hitler's desperate final stand using V2 rockets on England. All it does is create sensationalism for the press to latch onto, but the war is already lost.
Operation Web took out several obsolete Russian planes, which had no use in this war. Those old bombers are just for show and modelling, anyway. Russia can easily cover the cost of the planes and surcharge by taking more land in Ukraine, like Odessa.
Operation Web was a failure; it expended its resources on a superficial target that did not pose a threat and offered false hope in the media. Zelensky, like Hitler, both manic druggies, lose their focus and go mad with no real effective strategic planning.
Simplicius got it right when he said "I suppose it’s easy for the manic ‘high’ phase to over-compensate after such a painfully long period of dismal disappointment, but I regret to inform them that today’s strikes will change nothing, apart from deepening the nails into the soggy wood of Ukraine’s coffin."
Zelensky won't be laughing when Russia takes the gloves off, and it looks like that is on the very near horizon.
Sure, gloves off, maybe Russians will now start launching missiles on residential areas, malls and children's hospitals... oh wait, it's already happening for 3 years and Zelensky doesn't seem to laugh about it.
I see you watch the main stream media.
Like this one, apparently...😄
Finally, a true American speaks up. 😉
Actually I'm European (CZ), we have first hand experience with Russian 'heritage' here.
Come on, man, tell us how the Russians bombed Prague!
They haven't, they just opressed the whole nation, murdered and jailed people for speaking against them, for broadcasting western media, for trying to cross the border, denied their childern access to education etc. No wonder other CEE nations do what they can to avoid that happening again and no wonder we do not believe occupiers' stories about how Ukrainians bomb their own hospitals themselves in order to cover secret biolabs :D
Perhaps you are referring the former Soviet Union ?
Still peddling the holobiz memes a la Blinken?
"Czechs took vengeance on Czechoslovakia's three million ethnic Germans in two waves. In the four months after liberation in early May 1945, Czech paramilitaries, army units, and local vigilantes drove hundreds of thousands of Germans from their homes and across the borders of occupied Germany and Austria, brutalizing and killing many in the process. Euphemistically dubbed the "wild transfer" in subsequent Czech historiography, this stage ended soon after the allied powers approved of an "organized transfer" at the Potsdam conference in August 1945. Part two of the expulsion process began in January 1946, with most of Czechoslovakia's remaining two million Germans making a forced, but relatively orderly, exit on special trains to occupied Germany."
Well Danny, it seems that you DO have some first-hand knowledge of 'Soviet-style' respect for life and human rights, huh?
If you want to delve into history to cast stones, make sure you don't live in a glass castle.
I'm not proud of this chapter in our history. Yet I don't really see why should I answer for this nor how is this relevant to whether or not Russians target civil infrastructure in current war. Oh sorry, in SMO, 'cause that's not really a war, right? Blink blink;)
That was a favorite Nazi trope as well.
We really need a down vote button for creeps like you that get Russian and Israeli military tactics mixed up.
Russian targets are apartment blocks, hospitals and clinics, schools, churches, theaters, malls, community centers - and energy infrastructure.We have over 3 years worth of video, pictures and UN reports.
All wonderful cinematic masterpieces brought to you by a Zelensky/Disney production.
Ahhh, the mighty UN located in good ol' New York... That bastion of truth, honour and dignity - like the WHO... Watch the film 'Wag the Dog' with De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. It's a 1997 film detailing how this works.
You forgot the "juggling babies on bayonets" one.
Ah, Anne Applebaum and Weiss sisters in action.
Guess, you have been chanting Kol Nidre (an oath to be dishonest and break all promises to “others”) from infancy.
Still reject the real Holocaust in Palestine?
The Ten Principles of Wartime Propaganda - you recapitulate every one of them.
1. We don't want war, we are only defending ourselves
2. The other guy is the sole responsible for this war
3. Our adversary's leader is evil and looks evil
4. We are defending a noble purpose, not special interest
5. The enemy is purposefully causing atrocities; we only commit mistakes
6. The enemy is using unlawful weapons
7. We have very little losses, the enemy is losing big
8. Intellectuals and artists support our cause
9. Our cause is sacred
10. Those who doubt our propaganda are traitors.
If it makes you feel better, you can print it and hang it on your Wall of Creeps, yet it still wont's make you right or classy.
That’s not factually correct. Russia has never directly targeted civilian targets in themselves. There are cases where Ukrainian forces and NATO trainers were identified at meetings in hotels and were successfully destroyed with some collateral civilian deaths.
Know that this SMO has the lowest collateral death rate of any conflict for decades.
We won’t even mention Israel and their US backed genocide of Palestinians or the various “shock and awe” air attacks of the USA in Middle East that have literally killed millions of civilians.
'SMO' :DD
Sure Russians were always known for the high value they put on people's lives.
This channel published witnesses' evidence of crimes by Ukrainian neo-nazis and their accomplices that occur in Donbass collected by Maxim Grigoryev, chairman of the International Public Tribunal for Ukraine, as well as other news.
https://t.me/grigoriev_maxim
Wait, so Russians establish an institution and it confirms the claims they repeat over and over for years?? Oh my, that's absolutely shocking!! How could we not see that!! and on a similarly relevant and serious topic... https://divinecosmos.com/
Hey Daniel, Can we stick to the topic please. If you disagree with my comments regarding there being no intentional Russian targeting of non military in Ukraine please state them here. Otherwise, I logically assume you actually accept what I have stated as being factual and truthful. Thank you.
I'm not the one leaving the topic, others are...
But to explain the irony before: Yes, I disagree with your comments, I find them absolutely false and absurd, given the amounts of evidence of strikes on civil infrastructure, given the first-hand experiance I have with UA refugees and given the agelong level of respect for people's lives in Russia / USSR. What you write is a 1:1 copy of Russian propaganda that is spread over and over for years. And as a cherry on top, sticking to the term 'SMO' is just another brick to the wall of lies and manipulations Russia spreads like heap in order to justify this hideous imperial war.
Russians have souls and mercy.
Reread your Talmud, Daniel, filled with supremacist lunacy and disdain for all “others”
Listen to your bibi and gvir before badmouthing the Russians.
Wow, this is a masterpiece mic drop argument. Me reading Talmud is so freakin relevant to whether or not Russians target civil infrastructure. I think you should write at least a dozen more of these random rants. Not that anyone cares, but I guess it makes you feel better, so I am happy to serve. I like people genuinely. Meanwhile, I give you something of a simliar relevance in return. Here you go: https://stayandroam.blog/how-to-grow-a-mango-seed/. Cool, huh?
How is CNN these days? Nice blondes?
dunno, not watching CNN
Russians are not like your dishonorable tribe.
Cope harder.
Interesting as always. This is all very sad and strange. Feels like the Ukrainians are not interested in negotiations: the Istanbul choreography looked like one of these compulsory exercises no one really wants to participate in but must do it anyway - like taking part in a group photograph at a family gathering because Uncle Donald is insisting or when your parents tell you you need to speak to grandma over the phone. This begs the question: what kind of black swan are the Ukrainians waiting for?
Of course they aren't, it's just a show to placate Trump.
They AREN'T interested in negotiations, they want to prolong their time at the money trough (more importantly: their sponsors time) as long as they can.
The black swan they want is for the US to go all in and back NATO in a full war against Russia.
Why should Ukrainians be interested in negotiations? They will be interested when they have no other choice. Nobody in Washington, nobody in Brussels, nobody in Kiev cares in least, as it's not their children going into the meat grinder.
Very clear Trumps just want to pass the baton to Europe to continue the war against Russia whilst US pivots to Asia to start their war against China.
It's pointless for both Russia and China to continue to"negotiate" with US as US will settle for nothing less than the collapse of both countries.
Trump was elected to keep us out of wars. If many of the people who voted for him are feeling betrayed, imagine how Russia and China feel.
Sadly most Trump supporters truly are "trumptards" and don't have a clue what's going on.
Trump has some "He can do no wrong" extreme supporters, but even worse are the "Everything he says or does is terrible!" idiots.
To me, they are about the same.
Trump's support is first and foremost, a cult of personality.
The actual policies don't matter.
How is this "very clear that Trump wants to pass the baton to Europe"? Trump has done nothing to steer anything that way. He is nothing more than a hot aired filled orange bag of douche. If he really wanted to pass the baton to Europe he would publicly come out and say this is Europe's problem, remove all aid, stop ISR and pull all US personnel out of Ukraine and any NATO country supporting this conflict. He either won't or can't do it. The Jews and Neocons have him by the short and curly's and they ain't letting go.
This is most likely that case…for some reason USAns for the most part cannot entertain the idea that the executive branch, congress et al are simply not the shot callers for pretty much anything. It simply does not compute…even when you spell out the PolyCorps & Banksters equation in simplified crayon. But yes, the negotiations are reluctant theater and the time approaches when the participants in this hybrid war are going to get twitchy…..
Donny does what oligarchs and bankers tell him to do.

Socrates Computer Of Martin W Armstrong has never been wrong it predicted 2014 in OOK and predicted to the day escalation in May and June this year , increasing throughout the year . It also more importantly predicted the end of Ukraine, regardless of what the west will do. OOK will devolve into civil infighting with dissolution of the fake soviet entity. In fact OOK was the soviets only glory and when Mr Putin spoke in 2022 ,he mentioned DeLeninsation meaning OOK. Mr Putin was asked by Yeltsin “To Save Russia” because the anglojews were preparing to put their man in the Kremlin with their usual shenanigans see jewish Safra bankster who became worm food. See MWA and the film about him. So escalation and more terrorist attacks by the master terrorists first the anglo then the jew will occur in 2025 ultimately leading to defeat of OOK. The wests economies are imploding under their Hubris and they are trying to offload the losses onto the populous . ‘You will own nothing” because we are taking it off you, to pay of our debts.
What is OOK?
Ookraine, I guess?
I have no idea.
UK?
has to do w/predictions based on powerful financial computer modeling by Martin Armstrong, known for coding and building the Socrates seminal predictive computer system - https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/
very interesting, if one likes these things ;-))
Yes it's interesting but I still don't know what OOK means.
couldn't find OOK. in my language the word 'ook' (rhymes with 'oak') means: also. which didn't really help my internet search much. also I have this spontaneous aversion to anything to do w/computermodels and modelling, because I think it's all a load of hyped pessimism that won't lead to anywhere interesting, so there's that.

What is "Safra bankster"?
Just a guess. In 1914, Jacob Safra settled in Beirut, and he opened his first Bank, Banque Jacob E. Safra, in 1920. It quickly prospered, benefiting from a massive influx of Syrian businessmen and merchants who became Jacob's customer base.
Ahhh, marvellous, thank you.
…..In fact, NATO had invited Russia to join their club as a member following the 1991 collapse of the USSR. That was one of the reasons behind the coup against Gorbachev, for the old communists saw this as the surrender of Russia, and he was forced to decline. About 8.6 years later, there was a real live plot to interfere in the Russian Presidential Election of 2000 to seize control of Russia and even bring it inside NATO. This time it would involve the oligarchs trying to sell Russia to the
USA and blackmail Yeltsin with the help of a key New York banker—Edmond Safra. The Clinton Administration was well aware that in 1996 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the oligarchs created their Davos Pact to rig the re-election of Yeltsin. The scheme for 2000 was to make Boris Berezovsky Yeltsin’s successor, as he wanted Russia to join the West and NATO based on the fact that they had absorbed their prior enemies, Germany and Japan.
Oh, this is not my opinion or some conspiracy theory I stitched together, nor Russia’s propaganda. The truth has at last surfaced with even a partial declassification of the secret documents from the Clinton Administration. Like the Kennedy Assassination, they no doubt have refused to release the most revealing evidence. The Moscow Times has even regarded Berezovsky’s effort to reelect Yeltsin as critical in 1996. They wrote on January 22, 2014: “The Communists, lead by Gennady Zyuganov, stood to retake power in the coming presidential elections, just as they had retaken the State Duma in December 1995. For Russia’s new business elite, the oligarchs, a communist victory would surely result in the seizure of the assets they had accumulated over the previous few years. And that was the best-case scenario…..
Martin W Armstrong The plot To Seize Russia
Thank you. I'm not conversant with all this but did read that Berezovsky basically ran the Russia desk at the FO.
Have you read Christopher Story on the collapse of the Soviet Union?
One last big push to encourage Russians to bring down Putin. This is how this started and it signals the end, not via success but failure. Then we will get a deal to end this war meaning a Ukrainian surrender once western support is conclusively withdrawn- for now.
The west does not want to lose Odessa and so knows it has to force this Russian offer on Ukraine while it is still on the table UNLESS the Russians can finally be persuaded to knock out Putin, which is not looking promising especially since these attacks have been no where near as successful as Ukraine promised.
Why would the West want to bring down Putin? The next guy is going to be far more aggressive.
What the West would like is to stir up a civil war or something that will make it easier for Russia to be broken up into more easily manipulated regions.
Because they think bringing Putin down will stir up a civil war and distract Russia from its advance. Last gasp hope.
Well that, and also because the West is delusional and stupid.
The desired endgame from Day 1 is regime change to a Yeltsin style kleptocracy followed by the balkanization of Russia and the rape of it's people and assets.
It's a tactic that has worked exceptionally well in the past.
Why would they indeed?
Putin is doing controlled demolition of the Russian state right now, what Gorbachev did to the USSR, but the specifics are different.
>One last big push to encourage Russians to bring down Putin.
Let's see, what would make Russian people more mad at Putin:
1) Putin responding immediately and mercilessly already to the first Kerch bridge bombing and all the daily acts of terrorism by exterminating the Ukronazi cockroaches one by one, whenever and wherever he can get them, while also blocking Western meddling by brute force, and winning the war quickly and decisively
2) The absolute shit show we have now.
I wonder, which situation is more of a threat to Putin's internal standing? Hmmm, what a hard question...
You might want to check on the opinion of people inside Russia.
The Russian people voted for Putin and not just once.
America voted twice for Trump!!
Three times
They may have voted for Putin, but this is not the policies they expected to get.
Makes sense only as the hollywood pentagon 2-D cartoon villain narrative and not in real life. This is the script and it is deeply engrained. There is no fuggin way even a tiny percentage of Russians are going to foment any kind of rebellion and I say this based only on the fact that they HAVE to know that NATO is surrounding them and that the past 30 years of tortuous disturbance has been sponsored almost entirely by THEM. Not only that, VVP is moderate, level headed not impulsive and takes the middle path, always doing things by the books.
Guarantee any replacement is going to way more of a brawler. So yeah, the whole ‘regime change script’ may have had its day during the Color Revolution Bonanza…..but it aint quite the same these days.
"Imagine the plan’s sweep as Zelensky envisioned it..." No imagine it as MI-6 and the CIA envisioned it--and planned it, both the truck drone attack and the bridge attack. And of course Trump was fully informed. There is no peace process. There is a charade that pretends to be peace negotiations so Trump can say he tried before blaming Zelensky and off-loading the war on the Europeans, all the while providing arms to Ukraine, which haven't stopped for a second--and neither has intel. It is The Empire's intension to blame Zelensky and the Europeans while keeping the war going indefinitely. Keep in mind lies, terror, fear, deception and subversion are The Empire's preferred methods. And they will continue, as they have under all presidents. The prime directive is to destroy all nations which fail to submit to economic domination. Sorry Trumpers. How's his war on the Deep State going? You've been had, on both foreign policy and the economy. Meet the new boss...same as the old boss...
Just as Brian Berletic as stated, to outsource the war to Europe, division of labor. Yep I see it. Russia must win it so decisively on the battlefield that the victory must not be seen as a stalemate but as a comeplete unconditional surrender of ukraine and capitulation in front of everyone. It must be done on tiktok, X, every major social media. Live
Well your not going to get that, I don't ever see the current Ukrainian leaders surrendering, even if they lose another 5m people. Even if the last km of Ukraine is not in Russian control someone will be there to fire drones and missiles into Russia.
Capitulation, under the current method is going to take years or decades. Russia cannot sustain 20% inflation and a contract army for that long so what else does Russia plan to do when Ukraine never gives in?
imho, Russia should directly blow up the next white powder western caravan that makes its way to Kiev. Killing an unelected bunch of EU leaders visiting a war zone is not a declaration of war. It would send a powerful message and does not require any strike on NATO. I can think of a few possible EU leaders that would not incite their populations to revenge but might elicit a general thanks to Russia.
I would take that imbecile Keith Kellogg’s damascene moment with a huge dose of salt, these Trump Assholes including Kellogg are playing Russia… they are and always have been co-belligerents, remaining so, every utterance regarding peace a sham, faux overtures whilst surreptitiously and nefariously green lighting, aiding and abetting every action including as we know from recent disclosures, Trumps administration despite advice denying knowledge of the recent attacks especially upon the Nuclear Triad Delivery Assets, have admitted to Green,ighting and being aware of approving the assassination campaign that has beset Russia targeting as it has military officers, journalists and citizens including one sweet Daughter of Russia as noted below… thus the U.S for all their bull shitzen denials are neck deep and fully inculcated this asymmetric Victoria Nuland announced terror warfare campaign being waged by the Azov Nazi scum led that drug addled pervert Elinskyy, he who made illegal the use of the letter “Z” go figure, says it all..
Following is a recent post in reply to Kremlin and Putin adviser, father of the late great Darya Dugina, [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darya_Dugina … Darya Aleksandrovna Dugina, also known under the pen name Daria Platonova, was a Russian journalist, political scientist, and activist. She was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a far-right political philosopher, whose political views and support for Vladimir Putin she shared ] sadly assassinated by the same Ukrainian terrorists led the aforementioned drug addled khaki clad pervert in Kiev, thus my response to the esteemed and beloved Prof Alexander Dugin.. answering and warning of the duplicit U.S behaviour, of their double speak, put simply the U.S, anything represented, undertaking given, promise made, agreement or contract signed cannot and must never be taken seriously, they are a nation who by their deeds and actions have proven and shown unequivocally they are not to be nor can be trusted.. period!!!
“Putin Wants All of Ukraine”: Dugin Breaks Down Trump’s Statement.
Hi Alexander, Prof Dugin, Your point made at the outset of your article “Trump sincerely wants to stop the war, and in my view, there is no deceit or falsehood in this. But he does not understand what kind of war this is“ …. to a degree I concede is correct. However I disagree with your argument and especially, that once again it seems that there exists a completely misguided faith that Russia is hanging onto by endeavouring to meet Trump and or his poisonous rhetoric and or demands, either Russia is involved in a unique and complex chess game with the most dangerous moves being this passive acceptance of every insult levelled at either the State or its Leadership, or once again Putin and leadership have because of wishful thinking misread the room, I admit, obviously I am not privy to every nuance determining or contributing to such a reaction, however my rationale for this thinking is as follows.. First and foremost Russia must keep uppermost in all of its thinking and deliberations just who are the actual prognosticators and belligerents, we know unequivocally the U.S has been primarily so and continues to be, undertaking such a position we know has been their want and agenda eversince the fall of the USSR, actually when one thinks about it, it is truly similar to the position adopted immediately post WW2, when we know the U.S together the U.K worked through their OSS, forerunner the CIA to destabilise via asymmetric means the USSR including especially upon the territory of Ukraine, many lives were lost and taken as a consequence, fast forward the present and the U.S are doing the exact same again, except this time more surreptitiously contrasted the overt basis they did so post WW2. The U.S leading and calling the shots have had a presence in that Nazi infested shithole Ukraine, culminating the CIA Paramilitaries, the numerous CIA Bases 14 at last count established on the Border, since the breakup of the USSR, as we know via USAID, the State Department, Victoria Nuland, Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt they orchestrated the overthrow of a legitimately elected government, provided hardware, intelligence, co ordinated and trained a proxy armed force Russia now fights, installed the new government, making top appointments to key roles, oversaw the shelling and illicit tactics deployed against Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas, Odessa, Zaparozhiya, and other Oblasts, had senators, political figures visiting both during and post the coup, publicly campaigning and calling for the overthrow of an elected leader and government, political interference writ large crikey, I say on steroids, they have supplied Weapons, and to top it off, from the beginning through the recent Raw Minerals agreement plundered and pillaged ex favourable terms Ukraines resources, bought the most productive lands, undertaken privatisation of Key Government Assets, stripping Ukraine just as occasioned the former USSR the 1990’s, they now call for peace all whilst arming and funding Ukraine, providing ongoing intelligence together their Western co Belligerents comprising the group of 50. In short they, the U.S and West just cannot be trusted, they speak with a forked tongue, their intentions far from gracious, noble nor friendly, this whilst present CIC Trump, throws poisonous barbs by way of his Soc Media Posts and verbals.. he is aided and abetted his administration using as he is the imbecilic Kellogg as is his want to whom it seems he pays great heed, whilst the true anti war members of his administration are sidelined, well, certainly upon the face of it one could so construe. In short I just would not trust the Americans, Russia does so as its peril, Russia is superior by way of Military Industrial Complex, militarily and mil technologically, in short it has become and rightfully reclaimed its position as a true Super power, its diplomats far better, its armed forces and defence industries light years ahead of the entire combined West, Russia is winning decisively against NATO, whilst the need to balance and be seen by Russia’s allies especially heavyweights China, India, Brazil, Indonesia etc.. together the Middle Eastern monarchic states is of great import, I feel the time for Russia to dictate has come, thus there can be no more placating, acquiescence nor subtle acceptance of Western belligerence, of its bellicose rhetoric of the rubbish espoused, nope, no longer. It’s time or seems damn close to the time that Russia needs to just say and respond with what needs to be said in response to the many barbs thrown, backing such responses up by being firm and prepared to back up its words as required, just as recently has been done the Baltics against those big mouthed pirates, thieves and wannabes. Russia has come through this baptism and crucible of fire with flying colours, time to stand tall, no longer pushed or to be pushed around, time the world treated you with the respect the nation has earned and as a result of recent successes on the battlefield in the diplomatic arena, so richly deserves, no longer to be timid, shy, instead, time for confidence, strength, and why not, what is there to stop Russia… five eights of f..k all I say.

Thank you and your comment underlines the truly repugnant and banal group think that dominates so called “society” in the U.S, it truly is an indictment on the nation that there is a seemingly rabid lust for death, destruction, injury, War… the number of nations that the the former European Kingdoms Holland, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Germany, the Pole Dancers have decimated especially in Africa and South America is legendary, however compared to the efforts of the U.K which as we know are off of the charts they having genocided many indigenous populations but then their efforts pale against the nation at the clear top of this hit parade… the U.S.. the following are telling statistics..
The Korean War (1950-53), up to 30% percent of the North Korean population were killed in the course of the Korean war.
“We Killed Off – What – Twenty Percent of the Population. We Burned Down every Town in North Korea…”
The above quotation is from General Curtis Lemay, who coordinated the bombing campaign (1950-53).
During the Korean War, the DPRK lost more than 25% of its population.
The Vietnam War (1965-1975).
According to a Vietnamese government statement in 1995 the number of deaths of civilians and military personnel during the Vietnam War was 5.1 million. (2)
Since deaths in Cambodia and Laos were about 2.7 million (See Cambodia and Laos) the estimated total for the Vietnam War is 7.8 million.
The Virtual Truth Commission provides a total for the war of 5 million, (3) and Robert McNamara, former Secretary Defense, according to the New York Times Magazine says that the number of Vietnamese dead is 3.4 million. (4,5) (Lucas, op cit)
The Indonesian massacre sponsored by US Intelligence (1965)
Indonesian Army death squads in 1965 and checked them off as they were killed or captured. Martens admitted that “I probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that’s not all bad. There’s a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment.” (1,2,3) Estimates of the number of deaths range from 500,000 to 3 million. (4,5,6)
The so-called Soviet Afghan War (1979-1989).
The U.S. is responsible for between 1 and 1.8 million deaths during the war between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, by luring the Soviet Union into invading that nation. (1,2,3,4) (Lucas op cit)
* The Afghan War (2001- ) led by the US and NATO,
* Ongoing War on Palestine
* The Iraq War (2003- ),
* The War on Lebanon (2006),
* The US proxy War on Syria (2011-),
* NATO’s War on Libya (2011-),
* The Saudi-UAE War on Yemen (sponsored by the US)
* US Military interventions in Angola (1970s),
* The Congo “Civil War”
* Sudan’s “Civil War” (1955-), Casualties in excess of 2 million
* The Rwanda “Civil War” (1990-1994)
* NATO’s wars on Yugoslavia (1991-1999)
* Military coups in numerous countries including Brazil, Bolivia, Panama, Chile, Grenada, Haiti, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan, East Timor, Philippines, and many more.
The Casualties of “The Post-War Era”
60 million lives lost during World War II and another 20 million lost during the “post-war era” according to estimates, total: more than 80 million lives.
What Would Happen if a Third World War Were to Break Out?
While one can conceptualize the loss of life and destruction resulting from WWI, WWII as well as Iraq, Syria and Yemen, it is impossible to fully assess the devastation which would result from a Third World War, using the most advanced weapons systems until it actually occurs and becomes a reality, and then it is too late.
Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Kashmir, Syria, all being theatres the U.S is presently engaged not forgetting its misadventures fomenting conflicts in Chechnya, Georgia earlier this century… all instigated to satisfy a lust for conflict that dominates..
Recall .. the only reason for staying in Afghanistan so long, with no prospect of was to secure control of Afghanistan's resources for the US. Or, more correctly, for the oligarchs who control US policy and who will reap the benefits--while the people of the US (and Afghanistan, much more so) pay the costs.
FACT: The land under poppy cultivation (and opium production) has tripled since the US entered Afghanistan in 2001, helped by US spending for wells, roads and "reconstruction." Opium sales netted the U.S $200Billion per annum on average each year the U.S was on the ground… nice to know your service if you served had such huge upside.. though the real cause was despicable .. little wonder leaving all that hardware there hardly caused angst, by the date of withdrawn, do the math, 20x $200b =….. what’s a few lazy billion in hardware compared to that windfall…
FACT: Ground was broken for Afghanistan's first gas pipeline, TAPI, in December 2015, though it still needs investors. It is in part a joint venture between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, thus the name TAPI. Presumably the militaries of all these countries can be enlisted to protect the pipeline. And presumably, private pipeline projects will remain on hold until their security can be guaranteed by US taxpayers.
Connect the dots. As pipeline projects expand, as the number of mines increases, as Afghanistan retains its role as the world's #1 heroin-producing nation, so will our military presence remain, and grow… Syria and Assad, his ouster was because he said no to the Mid East Monarchies, Israel, Turkey led the U.S pipeline deal to pipe gas and oil to Europe via Turkey… for exercising a sovereign rate he was regime changed, his nation sanctioned into oblivion and the U.S occupied (still do) the Syrian oil fields and wheat/grains producing provinces… just another day at the office , whilst a similar day occasioned Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi who was ousted for daring to establish a Libyan gold backed currency that he promoted to be used Africa wide.. his reward sodomised to death with a knife for which Sec State HRC cackled…
Importantly, the U.S is a nation that between the years 1776 through 2014 had enjoyed only 16 years without its armed forces being in conflict, whether genociding its indigenous Indian populace or as has become its want, been waging war around the globe… truly symptomatic of a serious psychosis afflicting the so called elites in that nation… just saying
Kia Kaha (stay strong) from New Zealand
Exactly.
Throughout their colonial history Europeans (esp. Brits and French) used the same "Divide and Conquer" strategy to have other nations fight each other for the benefit of the Imperialist Oligarchy.
And the best way to analyze how the U.S. operates is to remember how it was created in the first place.
As the European powers were realizing that direct conflict with each other was becoming counterproductive, they conspired to create a pirate colony of which they would all benefit. There were some bitter fights over the arrangement, but it is still part of the European style of Empire.
That's why the U.S. is more like a Corporation than a Country.. That's why the orange clown presents himself as a CEO, bragging about "good deals".
USRAEL Inc.
Exactly, Washington D.C is still a Corporation… just like its counterpart, the “City” in London… check the records, and thank you for mentioning France, I knew I’d missed an obvious…. best to you..
Yes, ppl often miss France..
