Wow. These days it seems like Russians are allowed to publicly criticize the efficacy of their government's policies online without being branded white supremacist science deniers and purged.

It would be cool if we tried that.

Not a good sign when “hardliners” from military sites write these things. The hipsters vs goons war is about to heat up again in Russia and guess who got all the guns!

That was not particularly helpful.

Other than Poland, western nations have sent equipment that will fail in the field, either because it is too old, no spares are available, no training was given, or in the case of RPGs, the batteries were flat. However, they can be used like a caber and tossed at the Russians.

The only useful tool is the T75s.

Second, the NATO nations are going to tire of this war very quickly. There is nothing like the odd power cut, or empty supermarket shelves, to kill jingoism stone cold dead. When the first German politician has been punched out by an irate but frail looking age pensioner, cold feet will ensue.

Yes, this conflict will drag on. It is, after all WWIII. WWs tend to drag on. Rememberthe call "It will be all over by Xmas. That was WWI.

Now some unpleasant fact of life. It takes 118 fired rounds to kill each soldier. Missiles overcome this distressing statistic, and the Russian missiles out-perform those of NATO, and especially those of the US.

Many of the volunteers will be unable to withstand front-line conditions. Any still alive come winter, will die quickly.

Americans are gung-ho now, but I recall the die-off of enthusiasm three years into Vietnam, which will be three months on this timescale. as starvation breaks out in the US. Advanced preppers are Americas favourite kids on the block.

The US dollar is diving and will continue to do so.

The entire southern hemisphere is on Putin's side, excepting Australia which is, after all, the 51st state. The one unrepresented in Congress.

As the 2015 Rand report "War on China" matures, Australians are realising that all the US bases in their north are now nuke targets. In the tiny Northern Territory alone, there are eight, which is enough to wipe out the entire population. Even with the media blackout, run by the US, people are realising their longevity is now firmly compromised.

It's only a matter of time before the US/Australia military alliance is abandoned, as a former PM recommended.

This is a lot of picture change and knowing how thorough is the Russian intelligence system, Putin is aware of this. Time is on his side.

NATO is running out of time.

Maybe I am nuts but I am starting to think at least one of the reasons for Russias invasion (and they had others), and Chinas damaging lockdowns over a disease which kills few, is to give the West Leaders a cover for the take down of the Wests living standards due to supply disruptions, shortages and inflation. All of this facilitates the Great Reset Agenda which Russia, China and Western Elites/Leaders are all in on

Russias reward will be keeping some parts of the Ukraine. China reward might be Taiwan (I would hate to see that but the US would sell out its mother if it has one). Everyone wins but the regular people in the West and Taiwan/Ukraine

Thanks for this. The very last entry, from yesterday, is incredibly delusional, the very idea that you could basically occupy all of Ukraine and not set off SEVERE consequences shows minds gone berserk. Honestly, all that Putin really wanted was a persistent war to enable a state of war to be imposed upon society, enabling the imposition of all sorts of other measures, adding up to The Great Reset.

I don't believe Putin was so naive or brain damaged as to think "oh, we go in, take Kiev, Zelensky folds & it's all over." Nice if it happens? Sure. Bet the bank on it? Only if you're Dementia Joe.

Kiev was planned as a feint. Phase 1 was largely to assume positions. Movement has been slow to enable negotiations, avoid civilian injuries & start grinding Ukr military.

Phase 2 has not yet begun, but that is likely where it becomes "all in.".

History will look back & see that Putin did what he could to prevent all out war while protecting Russia's sovereignty.

When "all-in" includes nuclear annihilation, no sane person is likely to be in a rush.

Putin will destroy once Russia with his Ukraine war adventure and next he will build back better to destroy Russia again with the 4th IR.

Difficult to separate truth from lies and disinformation from misinformation on either side!

Not to worry, Putin is bringing Georgy Zhukov out of retirement and the Russians will cross the Oder soon.

As an American I do not understand my own psychopathic government all I know is the actions of the US are that of an unhinged lunatic. I know Mr. Lavrov understands this and I am sure Mr. Putin does as well. What I do not understand is why would Russia play at war when they know their adversary is not really Ukraine but the US? If you are going to play then you need to go all in. Russia should have mobilized and put the entire country on a war footing. Doing so would have sent a clear message to the west that Russia is not playing around as well as ensuring adequate forces to take Ukraine.

This Putin guy is a mystery. Who does he really represent, Russia or Klaus Schwab? One would think Russia would know the American way of war, i.e. start something with no idea of how to end it, is not the best way. Either go all in or go home.

Yes, you are right. Although I am heterosexual, I once worked in the entertainment industry, which was dominated by gays. My flat mate was one of the early transitions to female, so it should be clear I am not overly transfixed by gays. But this George Soros divide and rule scenario needs to be called for what it is. Very few of the claimed trannys and gays are actually that. Neurotic young men and women need to make these claims to render them distinctive in the eyes of their peers.

It's pathetic and destructive, especially if they chemically swap genders.

Soros doesn't care about the suicides or the destroyed lives.

Off topic but tangentially related.

I just read a WHO report saying 9/11 sparked the proliferation of (HCBLs) High Containment biolabs for 'biosecurity'. The number in the world has been steadily increasing since 2001 . The are all for 'security'

This TASS piece is a bit multifaceted of propaganda. Everybody in power new about the US/Russia/Former Soviet program of biolab rehab which started in 98. Russia was formally involved until 2013. WHO was involved and watching the whole thing. Undoubtedly, China was watching.

Hell, CHINA built the BIGGEST HCLB in the world that finished in 2017. Right at the sight of were "The worst pandemic in 100s" was 'discovered' by the Chinese branch of Gate's CDC franchise

Russia also just announced last week they are going to build 25 more labs for ya know, security .

The one HCLB in the Ukraine was finished in 2010 with the bio security interested nations and organizations watching. And now they are pearl clutching about WMDs

According to the WHO there are 3700 HCLBs in the world as of 2018. And demand is picking up

I call bullshit on the next pandemic already

Still support Russia just like I support Bolsonaro here. At this point the least bad choice is the one who can implement the globalist/great reset agenda as slow as possible and as messy as imaginable.

So pray for Bolsonaro president and for Russian tanks in Brussels.

I now understand a glitch in this war, or rather the media-reported coverage of it.

The most influential politician in Poland wants to invade Ukraine to reclaim a city lost in 1919. He wants to force NATO to support him. A totally oblique agenda. Yes, of course he is nuts. He's a Pole. They always have dual agendas. It goes with the history of that part of Europe. But the US is secretly promoting the ulterior motive. When the Polish Minister of Defense speaks, he does so surrounded by US troops.

Okaaaay.

So then I looked again at US equipment on standby. F35s? Yes. Blackhawkes? Yes, but not really useful in this kind of war. The shocker is the missile line-up; which includes the super-dud Patriot.

The Patriot had a non-functioning guidance system and so, a dozen years ago, this was re-invented by Raytheon. Bugger me, if it has not been reinvented yet again. Now it misfires.

All of a sudden the whole picture becomes clear, just like if sombody has switched the lights on. The Pentagon has no capacity to win this war. There is no other interpretation possible. This is no cunning and strategically designed proxy war. This is a proxy war because the US cannot win. It is technologically obsolete. Well, I am not the first to note that.

And the world's best intelligence service, Putin's, is aware of this.

Now I understand why Russia invited the Pentagon generals to witness the test firing of the Tzircon scramjet hypersonic Mach 25 missile. The general's jawdrop was comical, especially as some had declared such a missile was technologically impossible. But this was no cheap humiliation of the Jones by the Brownskis.

This was to force the US to call the Ukraine bluff by putting its allies on the firing line. I am guessing that somebody in the White House was primed for this... unwittingly... together with the imposition of sanctions that have relieved Putin of his biggest headache... the west-orientated oligarchs. Not only has the US got rid of these for Putin, but the sanctions have alientaed the 20% of the Russian electorate who want globalisation and westernisation.

This sector now blames Biden for their sudden loss of standard of living, and Putin's popularity has soared, along with the Ruble.

I can tell you now, I am never playing chess against this bastard.

So I am left thinking, who in the White House could have been primed. It had to be somebody very familiar with Ukraine and who is compromised by drugs or paedophilia or...

Well, fancy that. The answer was staring me in the face for the past year and I did not see it. I cannot resist making a game out of this. Have a guess, boys and girls. See if you can guess who primed Joe? You won;t have to hunt for clues.

This is the point of the conflict and note that this was written in 1997: "Next comes the Ukrainian question. The sovereignty of Ukraine is such a negative phenomenon for Russian geopolitics that, in principle, it can easily provoke an armed conflict. Without the Black Sea coast from Izmail to Kerch, Russia gets such an extended coastal strip, really controlled by someone unknown, that its very existence as a normal and independent state is called into question. The Black Sea does not replace access to the "warm seas" and its geopolitical significance drops sharply due to the stable Atlanticist control over the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, but at least it makes it possible to secure the central regions from the potential expansion of Turkish influence, being extremely convenient, reliable and an inexpensive border. Ukraine, as an independent state with some kind of territorial ambitions, poses a huge danger to the whole of Eurasia, and without a solution to the Ukrainian problem, it is pointless to talk about continental geopolitics at all. This does not mean that the cultural, linguistic or economic autonomy of Ukraine should be limited, and that it should become a purely administrative sector of the Russian centralized state (as, to some extent, was the case in the tsarist empire or under the USSR). But strategically, Ukraine should be strictly a projection of Moscow in the south and west (although more details about possible models of restructuring will be discussed in the chapter on the West). The absolute imperative of Russian geopolitics on the Black Sea coast is the total and unlimited control of Moscow along its entire length from Ukrainian to Abkhazian territories. It is possible to divide this entire zone on an ethno-cultural basis as much as you like, granting ethnic and confessional autonomy to the Crimean Little Russians, Tatars, Cossacks, Abkhazians, Georgians, etc., but all this only with absolute control of Moscow over the military and political situation. These sectors must be radically divorced from the thalassocratic influence coming from the west and from Turkey (or even Greece). The northern coast of the Black Sea should be exclusively Eurasian and centrally subordinate to Moscow..." https://n01r.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Foundations-of-Geopolitics-Geopolitical-Future-of-Russia-Alexander-Dugin-English-auto-translation-with-appended-original.pdf It's quite instructive to read this translation, it might kick some people out of bed, so to speak...

And that last bit, written 25 years ago, is being carried out today. Crimea was the first chunk to be bitten off, now it’s Donetsk, Zaporhizia, and Kherson Oblasts, after that Odessa. Moldova appears to have been placed within the Moscow-dominated Eurasian sphere of influence. If this analysis is correct, then Romania is next, followed by Bulgaria - but Ukraine is the keystone. It should now be obvious - from this book written 25 years ago (whose full English translation I just found - French and German are easy, but Russian is hard work...) - that the outrage over the US-funded biological warfare labs and everything else was just a convenient pretext for something that was planned out decades ago.

Here’s some background on Aleksandr Dugin:

”Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin, the man behind “Duginism,” is a Russian political strategist with ties to some of the most powerful people in Russia; various oligarchs, billionaires, Kremlinites, military men, and even Putin himself. This includes people such as Sergey Naryshkin (Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service), Igor Rodionov (Defence Minister), and Gennadiy Seleznyov (Chairman of the State Duma). Dugin’s father was a colonel-general of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), which is essentially the Russian militaries’ own KGB; a foreign-intelligence agency. GRU was originally established in the USSR by Leon Trotsky’s deputy. Because Dugin’s father was an extremely high ranking glowie, Dugin was born into spookdom; the number of influential KGB agents that Dugin has collaborated with is too long to list: http://archive.vn/iOvCT.

Would say. Friedrich List is more important than Johann Gottlieb Fichte for Russias economical future.

Poland and Baltic States are part of the war.

Western borders of Ukraine should be closed OR

You punish Poland and the Baltic States.
