Marko was not only spot on in his assessment, but showed an absolute gem of integrity for sharing it widely with the world. calling out the Putin sycophants in the alt media. Some of them have never listened either to Marko or to the reality which has unfolded over the last 1418 days. They persist in sowing illusions. Yes, you, Pepe Escobar, Danny Haiphong, Scott Ritter, Doug McGRegor,.. Thanks so much, Riley, for keeping Marko's work alive.
Here another great example of how Putin's psycopaths in the alt media manipulate the audience into convincing them that the West is the devil, supporting Saudi Arabi and Israel; meanwhile, Russia does exactly the same behind the scenes to demonize and conquer the West.
Vigilante Intelligence - Soviet Propaganda: The Relationship between Russia and Saudi Arabia
I would have liked to join Marko for a drinking session. We both would have laughed at the vaunted "NATO bunkers superior to the Maginot Line". The French aimed those big pre-WWII guns to the east, as the Germans simply got to their west, and then thumbed their noses at the fixed artillery that could not fire in that direction. The only thing I love more than history is reading about those who failed to heed it.
The line worked in that the Germans moved through the north which was the intention, the failure was the Belgian declaration of neutrality throwing off plans to engage in a co-ordinated manner in Belgium when the attack came. It was this mess of last minute implementation of plans that led to an information overload that led to the thrust to Sedan was missed.
I agree with your general point but the historical analogy is, a little ironically, off the mark. I'd recommend the book Case Red for a decent pushback at received historic knowledge about the Fall of France if you're intrigued :)
First of all, again, I'm really sorry for what happened to your friend and colleague. But the same murderers are responsible for the deaths and maiming of young Russian and Ukrainian soldiers in this on-going endless «senseless bloodbath». So much money is made while slowly destroying the Youth of both Slavic Nations, a perfect plan I suppose, if you are of the opinion that: «Some must die for the world to continue», referring to Gaza and probably meaning «for business to continue».
Is Putin not just a puppet of oligarchy (banksters) like Trump, EU, Zelenskyy, et al, performing their bidding to clear out the humans and take over choice pieces of real estate? It appears likely that deals have been made all around by a horde of ghouls. They are aligned in constructing the technological control state- Putin is full steam ahead. He’s helping to genocide Slavs whilst locking down and poisoning Russians.
I initially agreed with the slow movement and now don’t for the reasons you specify. As usual, the entire operation--including Washington’s involvement--is a charade for an excuse to mass slaughter.
People decry Trump. However, he shows reality. You can extract a sovereign president and his wife with minimal casualties. None on the American side and a 100 or so Cubans-Venezuelans on the other. You must be brutal and use advanced microwave and/or direct energy weapons and completely disable your enemy.
The world is weak and no great leaders exist today. Israel has shown that a hegemonic bully can kill at will with no repercussions. International opinion can cry salty tears for Gaza, but the real lesson was and is that anyone in this world can commit flagrant militaristic actions--including annihilation-- with only, to use T. S. Eliot’s poetic phrase, a world which whimpers.
The main agenda through our health care, most Western countries’ social policies, militaristic “operations,” and foreign strategies is the decimation of the world’s population in any manner possible. So simple humans continue to embrace SMOs and holocausts in the Middle East. People continue “unexpectedly” and “suddenly” dying in their 40s, 50s, and 60s with no previous health problems...but...by all means...continue producing and amplifying failed mRNA technology within “regular” inoculations and dental anesthetics.
I have recently come to my own private opinion that the seemingly endless extension of time many people say they experience is akin to a “spell” of some sort. The only remedy is outright ruthless overt action on any and every sphere. Complete annihilation in one felt swoop--not over years and years as in Gaza and Ukraine. Extract a leader--do it now. Take Greenland--do it now. Overt action to break the spell.
The seemingly “endless time” is to wear down the psyche to resist in people. Wars never seem to end. Health problems are never truly resolved. People continue homeless and hungry. Inflation blasts like a rocket taking off, and hard-working people run out of food before the next paycheck. The suffering is deliberately endless so that the human spirit capitulates. “Ok, hook me up to the Borg. Give me UBI. Track my every movement. Contain my thoughts. Demand certain medical levels monitored in my body are achieved. Just let me live.”
I overheard a conversation between Ukrainian soldiers on leave a couple of months ago and they were forever talking about their "American commander". How many Western soldiers/mercenaries (especially Poles) have already been killed? How many have died in a war whose sole purpose seems to be to depopulate Khasaria (to make room for a "new Israel"?) while making immense profits for the kleptocracy.
Probably fewer than we'd like to believe. A few casualties can be hidden. A "training accident " here, a "helicopter crash" there.
However, if were a material number of NATO casualties, where are the amputees, the prisoners of war, the hospitals clogged with wounded, the distraught wives, girlfriends and mothers who can't get any information about Johnny and haven't heard from him in months.
Even the Soviet Union could not keep the scope of casualties in Afghanistan hidden, and the Soviet Union didn't have the internet and did have a KGB.
Interesting. I read/heard of claims that there have been a lot of Polish losses, which means that either a) the losses have been covered up or b) the claims are wrong. More investigation is needed…
Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
this was never about the 3 days. And this was never about being stupid or not. Even at this very moment russia still has around 500000 different means that would allow russia to achieve the stated smo "goals". And you wouldn't need to be smart, you could even be extremely stupid (which he clearly isn't), and still have options.
Therefore, the reason as to why nothing has been achieved is likely because the real goals are different from the stated ones. Or maybe the goals are not significantly different, but the severity is overstated (muh existential holy war!!!!11)
First of all, thanks for keeping Marko's work alive. Although there are parts I'm not sure I agree with (so what), his work seems very valuable. I like this:
> Never having to explain itself to anyone, or even sharing just the most rudimentary information is exactly how Russia’s [...] system likes to roll.
That is the impression, at least to an outsider: Russia's government does not explain very well what is doing and, more importantly, why they now need to take this or that step. On the other hand, the US government (through its many NGOs) keeps producing as many texts as possible, in all languages of the world, giving the impression that they are constantly informing the viewer (all of us) what's going on, as if we were all part of the game or rather, we are all sitting in the best seats with the best view possible plus popcorn.
Symptoms include unexplained actions by the Russians which may or may not lead to a certain goal (which may also be revealed only in parts) in the East and, in the West, countless explanatory reports about Putin's apparent new strategy all confidently explaining what's really going on the Kremlin. Random example from the top 3 search results: A secret report revealed Putin's new strategy (by UK's intel apparatus, distributed via MSN; "according to the British war ministry" it says in the article). I think either way is bad.
This being said:
* I like Marko's point about the apparent lack of explanations. If a powerful entity is not explaining what it does and why, you need to have full confidence. Sure, the Russian govt needs to explain its actions to the Russians, not necessarily to the rest of the world, but...
* Even if you do trust them, comparing how different operations work, I'm almost sure they'd be much more successful if they gave out more info, including the [Russian] public in the process. Even if they don't want to reveal too much.
* My other conclusion I reach after reading most texts about the war, or any war really, and this is not specifically about Marko's text: All governments lie and have a sufficient amount of incompetent imbeciles at the top. It's just that some of them make a better impression. Russia, US, UK, doesn't matter. In simple terms, they all make poop but some of them involve the public in the process which has significant psychological benefits while others allow themselves to appear like they've just pooped in the wrong place.
* I think we all know to treat what government says like what a commercial says, i.e., not always take it seriously (remember 95,96,97% effectiveness against C). Doesn't mean ignore it though, usually there's some useful nuggets. The only real problem is when the origin of publications is not clear, like some made-up text by Britains cyber department no 77 reported as if an independent journalist from MSN just analyzed something.
* Most texts about the war (again, or any war for that matter) keep talking about how to win the war, why x will lose the war tomorrow, right after y pays z another huge amount of money through the worldwide "clearing" (read money laundering) system (cough swift). But what does it even mean? Don't answer, I doubt there is a simple answer. War means killing. Killing means someone else either decided to end your life, either directly or indirectly (like many of the attacks in the first 8 years of the war prior to 22, bombs falling on public places killing civilians, so someone allowed that to happen). I don't care who is killed, it's not a "win". A family in Eastern Ukraine killed by their own bombing prior 22 or killed by Russian bombs after that magic date, what's the difference? Who are we to decide who should live and who can be killed? Even if one player gains territory in the end, I don't count that as a win (those decisions are often made by third parties). What counts to me as a success would be a situation where all killing stops - no, not just one of the players while the other party keeps dropping bombs, all players must stop killing. And what's been broken must be rebuilt. No, not given to Blackrock for its shareholders to exploit, I mean the people. Apartment damaged by drones? Government must come and fix it. Just like the fire dept helps in case of a fire, the war dept should come and help those affected by war.
But Riley, come on. "If you are tired of “alt media’s” ceaseless attempts to gaslight you" - aren't you part of the alt media? ;) But you're right, those exist. I vaguely remember someone praising Russia's vaccine and found that helpful (your reporting, not their praising).

Yes, I tend toward generalism in comments, to avoid lengthier pedantic points which will always be challenged/corrected.

Sounds like you dont like Putin.
All wars are bankers wars
Alternatively, Day 4,300 of the West’s feeding Ukraine to Russia in hopes that Russia would choke.
The war is a scam. Setup to kill as many Slavic Christians as possible. To meet Russia and Ukraine' depopulation goals, pledged to the WEF.
Once again, it all comes down to Zelenskyy.
He was elected on a promise and a mandate to maintain neutrality, and enact Minsk.
He chose to break those promises, and doomed Ukraine to failed-nation status.
It was predicted in 2008, nobody should be surprised.
I do agree with your contentions, Riley.

Apparently the Poles have lost a lot of soldiers, which has caused some disquiet in Poland.
I speak with Polish people every day and I have heard no mention of any such thing, nor are Polish hospitals clogged with wounded, etc..
Interesting. I read/heard of claims that there have been a lot of Polish losses, which means that either a) the losses have been covered up or b) the claims are wrong. More investigation is needed…
A new Israel in Ukraine ? Maybe but looks like the f..... have settled on Patagonia !
There is already a colony of fellow Nazis there. They’ll get along fine…

Putin had planned to take Kiev in three days in February 2022.
The fact that his plans went awry shows that Putin was stupid.
If he were smart, he would have thought of a fresh start with some excuse.
Moreover, he even got Northern Europe to cooperate with NATO. This is clearly proof that Putin had no strategic thinking.
His stupidity will continue until the day he dies.
What's pitiful are the ordinary Russians who only know Putin.
this was never about the 3 days. And this was never about being stupid or not. Even at this very moment russia still has around 500000 different means that would allow russia to achieve the stated smo "goals". And you wouldn't need to be smart, you could even be extremely stupid (which he clearly isn't), and still have options.
