It’d be nice if they could compel testimony from some of the well known biolab bosses from over here. . One just announced that he will retire soon, I believe.
Fauci – the boss of them all is trying to escape ship by retiring – he’s over 80 years old I believe but his job is so secure he can’t be fired. I assume that’s who you’re talking about

First of all, you’re marginally on topic, since the topic here is Ukraine, not Fauci.
Second, Fauci has nothing to do with biolabs in Ukraine, that’s a figment of your imagination. If there is any proof to that, show it. Your connection to the topic, Ukraine, is fake news, therefore, you’re off topic.
Third, Megan Kelly is a full time idiot, all looks no brain, a presstitute. She cannot be a point of reference for anything serious, she’s just another Fox Mooooos blondy pushing banal trite to the brainwashed masses, she has nothing to do with reality.
You may all be Fauci haters, which lead you to point your guns in the wrong direction.
Fauci is ready to go home and take a break from all the crap he had to endure for decades, a living example that science and politics are a witches’ brew that shouldn’t mix.
You tell them they are off-topic, and then proceed to talk about everything they mentioned.
Fauci is a scumbag, and he most definitely has links to the Ukrainian labs. He inextricably linked to the lab in China where the disease allegedly (ALLEGEDLY) emerged from.
The man is every bit a globalist and a servant of the evil one. He’s Anthony Blinken in a lab coat.
“…Fauci is a scumbag, and he most definitely has links to the Ukrainian labs…”
Where is your evidence? That’s what I asked for, not your fake news, which is distracting us from the Open Threat subject, Ukraine, as stated by the Saker.
Show some evidence, don’t post more fake news. We don’t need them.
Then please spend a bit of your angry energy to study the work of the Corona Ausschuss led by Dr Reiner Fullmich, lawyer in the US and Germany. He and his organization have collected more than enough proof to be able to have every single responsible of government, Big Pharma, the medical world and the bio labs trialed and send to prison for a very long time.
The only and worst problem that remains is to find judges who are not corrupted by the system and who have at least half a decent brain.
You want proof against Fauci, they have truckloads full. https://corona-ausschuss.de/
Enjoy!
I am not of any of your political tribes since I´m Eurotrash but you going overly emotional over stuff will not help things for anyone. Time to smell the flowers and remember, words are Not violence.
totally – thanks Korrin and he’s wrong too.- the labs are in the Ukraine. Just because Fauci has connections in Ukraine doesn’t make it off topic – and he does have connections in Ukraine. He’s the guy that gets the money for the funding. And distributes it.
Fauci is a grifter. He won’t face real justice. If push came to shove he could fake his death, and retire on the southern French coast. He has the coin from years of doling out AIDS money.
@Lone Wolf. Thank you for talking sense. This blog is enjoyable to read because reasoned high level discourse is the standard. As an American I’m glad fellow Westerners are exposed to these types of blogs. Still they are mired in senseless partisan narratives removed from reality and context. I have enjoyed reading your comments. To return to topic I’ve been personally waiting for these trials. I have high hopes that damming indisputable evidence will be presented that facilitates the fall of western narratives.
Sad to see so much disability to connect the dots.
Ukraine: We are talking about Russia is about to set up tribunals where war criminals will be prosecuted.
Here among US/UK bio-weapon laboratories used to spread virus/deceases, not only inside Ukraine but also among the Russian speaking separatist areas.
Kremlin has now confirmed that our known not to be named laboratory virus has been elaborated in these Pentagon bio-weapon laboratories in Ukraine.
We know Fauci funded the research in Wuhan and has been involved in the not to be named virus and its comprehensive global business model which set back the economic conditions for billions of people.
Thus the international unlawful chemical/biological research in Ukraine could very well be part of the tribunals set up by Russia or Donbass itself.
Personally I dont hate Fauci, Gates or anyone until their case has been duly processes with a factual legal conclusion. I dont label people like Megan Kelly personally, but take each of her statements for their value and in this case she is on the right side of history. Off course Fauci must face tribunal/congress is he is ordered to do so.
Conclusion: 30 bio-weapon laboratories and Fauci and Russian organised hearings/tribunals have a lot to do with Ukraine and its related geo-political avalanches we are exposed to at the moment.
No way can the msm ignore the upcoming tribunals of all the war criminals, the truth about the atrocities which they committed, and the people who commanded them ,will all come out.
I’m surprised to see Sky news in Australia beginning to question the official Goebbels inspired narrative about Zelensky/Ukraine and they will take great interest in what emerges at the trials, others will follow suit, hopefully.
The evidence presented about the 46 bio labs in Ukraine is truly shocking, but not unexpected.
No, the msm can and will ignore the tribunals. But the information will be produced, it will implicate others, some of it will find its way into the UN and from there into the general consciousness of the global south elites. It will likewise lay the groundwork for what the Russians have planned for the Ukrainian leadership should they ever get their hands on them.
Unfriendly countries and the UN which is now controlled by them will bury their collective heads and ignore the Trials. Russia knows this for a fact. All the details are and will be carefully shared with the friendly countries, essentials and future actions based on this enormous information will be discussed in detail in multiple forums such as BRICS+, SCO, EAEU, CSTO, BRI, Secure phone calls etc. and decisions will be made to ditch the UN if it doesn’t gets its act together to follow the “UN charter”. If the UN continues its subverted “Rules based order”, a decision will be made to form a “New UN” of the friendly countries. This may take several years to decades but the world has irreversibly changed on Feb 24, 2022. During the ensuing years, Population and GDP of friendly countries will overshadow the neocolonial countries. The only danger meanwhile will be the risk of all out Nuclear War. There is going back to the old ways.
I can’t wait for all the evidnce to come out,and there will be a lot of it including all the crimes in Donbass,i believe the Court will have the names of all the high command who gave the orders and other officials.
@Glover-Whether the msm put a total block on coverage of the tribunals remains to be seen, but there are millions of virtue signalling Ukraine profile picture idiots out there who will find alternative sources to view the proceedings, I look forward to seeing their reaction !.
Those Ukraine/Rainbow flag waving idiots will have to sit and squirm while Nazi after Nazi is wheeled out in front of the courtroom to answer for their crimes, it’s going to be very difficult to ignore the abundance of Nazi tattoo’s on the defendants, or the crimes they have committed.
The propaganda wing of the west have already labelled the tribunals as ‘sham trials’ and ‘Kangaroo courts’ etc with forced confessions used as statements of guilt, we all know this is not true, and I’m sure that the evidence has been thoroughly researched and examined by the DPR authorities to leave the audience in no doubt as to the defendants guilt.
“….there are millions of virtue signalling Ukraine profile picture idiots out there who will find alternative sources to view the proceedings, I look forward to seeing their reaction”
So do I. Let’s hope it’s a wake up call for the pro-ukronazi’s
@Pavlos Xp: “No way can the msm ignore the upcoming tribunals”.
Is that the same MSM that ignored Hunter Biden’s laptop ? That ignores unexplained deaths related to a certain vaccine ? That ignores Julian Assange’s predicament ?
No, the MSM are the establishment’s PR tool and they will ignore anything and everything that isn’t part of the official agenda.
The indiscriminate bombing of Donetsk, Luhansk and it’s citizens since 2014, outside of a war declaration, is a crime against humanity. As are the atrocities committed in Odessa at that time, concerning the burning of 39 Pro Russian civilian protesters in the Union building, May 5, 2014.
The UN spokesperson needs to find a new job, in a different line of work.
Not sure why you use the Nazi “pro-Russian” label on the Odessa victims.
The people murdered were, at most, anti-governement, more precisely anti-coup. Nothing “Pro-Russian” about those people. Nothing.
The whole “pro-Russian” narrative is a pure insult to those who cannot defend themselves. VERY FEW people in Ukraine were “pro-Russian” as imn supporting the Russian postion of the time.
Most (think 99%) protesters against Maidan Gov were – at most – Ukrainians with a Russian nationality. These people were, foremost pro-Ukraine.
There was very little “Pro-Russian” thinking until after Ukraine declared their own citizes terrorists. And even then, most were just thankfull for the Russian help, nothing more.
I saw tears of joy from plenty Ukrainians in many cities/towns/villages upon liberation, not to mention the 3-4 million who packed everything and fled to Russia.
user is right. You are describing Ukrainians whose government was couped by American Jews, and who endured eight years of Ukrainian anti-Ukrainian terrorism. Little wonder they changed their minds about living in what remains of their country.
No, user isn’t. Your paraphrase is not correct, and your point is entirely different.
No one’s insulting the innocent victims of that massacre in Odessa by calling them pro-Russian. That’s an absurd point. As is suggesting what position they were or weren’t protesting. Which doesn’t diminish the atrocity of what happened to them either.
That the “nazis” were responsible for this atrocity and will still face prosecution for it, is not an insult to the memory of innocent victims,’ but a guarantee made by the Russians. Whether it will be realized in Odessa, or in Donbas.
There is no more noble a cause being “pro-Russian,” then or now.
True that, and some proof of that does exist. Here’s one link amongst many detailing corruption within it’s ranks. Another source claims only a small portion of funding for global recovery projects (<10%) ever reached it's intended target since it's inception in 1945.
Stories of greed and mismanagement are commonplace at the globalist United Nations. One example:
"…. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) cleared itself of suspicions the organization had misused U.S.$ 1.2 billion in donor funds across the Middle East in the space of one year. …"
Seems like the Russians have plans to try to return the UN to a proper function as a body of independent nations pursuing national interests under the rule of law and being bound by the principles stated in the UN charter
Don’t see the Depraved West going down that road willingly, not as long as the current crop of psychopaths dominate the West’s political economy. But maybe they will not have a choice.
Russel “Texas” Bentley volunteered to fight in Ukraine……. for the “wrong” side. He cannot return to the US since he woulf face prosecution for breaking ZUS law. Most countries have laws barring citizens from participating in foreign conflicts which are selectively enforced. Those who fought for the Kiev regime will be ignored. Mr. Bentley be prosecuted. Hypocrisy writ large.
Honestly, how about africom? That’s a well known American financed supervised and run mercenary and criminally corrupt africom pogroms? That’s seems quite acceptable to the American political class.. Or what about academy, Academy, another American sponsored butchery department.
The pedophile junkie and organiser ….Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian i.e. 46 plants of chemical and biological weapons establishments, though against international law…… isn’t a crime in America, or its political and voiced, excuse…. plausible deniability.
But the denial when the proof is obvious and available to any UN committee …… deserves punishment by humanity of those responsible. They fool no one!
@BlackCloud The OHCHR can pontificate all it likes. The legal precedent has been set.
From the POV of international jurisprudence the Nuremberg Trials are seen as A Victors’ Justice
The RF will proceed with trials (& convictions) not just to bring justice but also for no better reason than to serve as an example to the pipsqueaks of Europe (I’m looking at you Estonia) if they start getting any ideas.
And now that terrorist attacks have been committed on Russian soil (the assassination of Darya Dugina) the RF needs to make it state policy that it will conduct a policy of Hot Pursuit (as Israel does) if any terrorist attack is committed and the assailant/s flee to other European countries.
And this needs to be communicated to each of governments of the US/Nato vassals
Thanks for that link. Proof that the UN is another vassal of USUKEU+NATO That idiot General Secretary the Champagne socialist Guitterez is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle
The hunt continues. Been waiting on this one for a long time. These are the scum who released videos of themselves defiling their prisoners, since redacted.
Yes i hope some of the evidence is such recorded on phones,there was another terrible crime where a Russian POW had his face and eyes stabbed with a bayonet,i believe they have that animals name think he was from the Kraken/Dirlwanger gang of psychos,i believe it was in Kharkiv.they deserve to dance on a rope.
It saddens me that people will believe that shit. Logically Russia has no requirement to increase the size of its armed forces to replace casualties. It just increases recruitment.
*condemning the Western “sheeple” that trust Western media
*dismissing Western narratives about mass Russian casualties as false
*recognising Russian casualty numbers as minimal and (relatively) easy to replace via normal recruitment
Maybe we should not be too hard on Simon C just yet.
Thanks Dick, spot on. Although 20 years service, including 2 years with a Brigade staff, several operational tours and 2 years with ACDS (OR) Land gives me some perspective :-)
Andrei, fret not. I am thoroughly on your side. I am confused as to how you could read my comment otherwise.
please provide a link to the source for these numbers.
Wait, they come from two US officers, including one full of shit (Ritter)?
Ah, okay.
Must be true then :-)
They do not.
Artillery war has well known numbers.
The UAF are dangerous, battle hardened (8 years fortifications), and RF deals with that, the best way – sheer firepower, as Ritter clearly shows.
Saker, why do you have such disdain for Scott Ritter? I don’t always agree with him, especially when a couple months ago when he seemed to go “Chicken Little” because the NATO countries were supplying the Ukraine with artillery. But usually Ritter seems to be fairly knowledgeable and not at all a supporter of Zelensky. You know a lot more than I do. What am I missing here?
Well, my question for a link on Saker’s issue with Ritter never not posted. If he’s marginalized for the reason I suspect, I think Saker can do better than that.
Yes, he passed on bad info about Lira’s alleged death. We all should be given grace for mistakes. But Lira really escalated it by calling Ritter a paid shill. That was uncalled for. And that ruined the relationship and God knows Zone B has enough enemies without being pricks to our own.
If Lira or Saker can show me something else that ruins Ritter’s credibility, I’m all ears. Otherwise, the silence here only lessens the credibility in the other direction.
General Milley, who is privy to all such information, said that the casualties were high on both sides, that there was “a lot of violence” and gave and gave a measurement of how much firepower was being unleashed in – Donetsk. I know him as sounding foolish, but sounding foolish and being a liar are two entirely different things. If anything, he was too candid and bold against pres. Trump himself (never saw anything like it, he made McCarthur’s ‘rebellions’ after WWII look like not much after him). There is no reason to disbelieve him. The silence of the other side, Russia, counts (grants the fact). Indeed, Peskov once admitted that Russian casualties were, but that was before so many weapons arrived for Ukraine. The many missiles launched by Ukraine are not aimed at anything but soldiers. Russia stopped mentioning only civilian targets as being hit by them, as it was doing initially (poorly, implausibly, obviously affected by the turn of events). It once reported on casualties, and then stopped doing that. At a great cost. Russia has already expanded its borders by the 20% gained at Ukraine’s expense. I guess they might end up with 30%. Russia gives signs, with its all-over-the-place messaging (which goes from saving itself to saving humanity, with all that’s in-between too), that it is willing not to try to take it all. It wants to end the war. They don’t speak about “denazification” anymore, right? Arguably, Ukraine right now is more militarized than before. Both reasons struck one as misguided from the beginning, and they are turning out to be that. It’s going to be what it is now – a war for land and a weak Ukraine by virtue of losing so much land. If you want to say that’s “demilitarization” and “denazification”, okay – but I don’t even know when was the last time Russian leaders (or Putin) used those exact words.
Of course, demilitarization and denazification are the reasons for an “SMO” (“special military operation”) and this designation assumes, implies a war that is not a long one, with both the designation and its reasons suffering as to their tenability – sense – the longer the war drags on. If it had been called “war” as it is, denazification and demilitarization would not be the war reasons given for it; instead, the reasons for the war would likely be “genocide” and/or “enemy of Russia.” This is why Russia, in reaction to the bad news that came from a level of difficulty beyond what was expected, wants to end the war now in a negotiation with them, admitting (tacitly) that this is “war” indeed, and says much less about ‘demilitarization’, which it can continue to talk about comfortably since it has some connection to a war reason anyway, and practically nothing now about “denazification” (this term illustrates the wrong expectations and calculations held before the war, the vain words used when you are confident that you will win in a short war).
Do you realize that if this were true war cities like Charkov, Kiev, Odessa, etc. would be heavily bombed already in the first day? If this were true war no one on the Russian side would care about victims. Victims would be counted in millions.
That’s true war, and this is true war also…England did not need or didn’t have to bomb the German cities (civilians) like it did in WWII. A German veteran of that war said that this “terror” did not work, that people just get tougher when faced with terrorism (which is what aiming at civilians is – it’s not even legal), and that it was the bombing of industrial-arms installations, the factories, which was effective. “If this were true war…” Russia happens to be winning albeit at a heavier cost than expected. If it were losing, or about to lose…I don’t know what they might not do then, but they bombed Mariupol city and it is in ruins today, right? I think most civilians had left already. Odessa is rumored to be an objective. It will probably end up like Mariupol too, if there’s a fight for it.
I think political reasons and objectives made them call it “SMO.” They deny that it’s war, that it’s invasion, and banned those words to begin with. People of the world have obvious opinions about what such denials and definition changes represent. Come to think of it, they also say that “it doesn’t exist” (or that “Ukraine” does not exist) but only through the “SMO”, not in plain words.
It’s not true war, as strange as it sounds.
For Russia there is no problem to “kalibrate” any aim at the Ukrainian territory. But they still save many of them. Why Zaporozhye NPP is still delivering electricity to Uktrainians and – at all – why power grid and telecommunication are still working? Why pipelines are still unharmed? Why Kiev with Zelensky’s headquarter is still intact? Why the Russians didn’t wreck main roads, especially in the western parts of Ukraine? Why they do not fire plants? Why they don’t heavily bomb in advance any resistance point?
Because Russians treat Ukrainians as common nationality and won’t harm civilians.
We understand why, for many reasons that are similar. Again, they are winning and it makes sense. If they were losing, you don’t know if it would be this way. The Western Ukrainians do not seem to appreciate your point, right? I am sure there are some who do. It’s similar to how it was until about three centuries ago. Typically, civilians were not aimed at. The armies met somewhere and fought. It is ready to kill the last Ukrainian soldier, and that’s war, not an SMO!
Like I said, the longer it lasts, and the stronger the determination of Ukrainians not to give in, the SMO designation loses its ‘shine’ (having been based on wrong expectations too) and eventually they could end up regretting the name because at that point they will look like maulers and gangsters (made to look like that by the SMO!), and not like soldiers or warriors or combatants, as is the privilege that separates the soldierly from other types but which comes only from “war”, and certainly not from something which you yourself deny is “a war.” So, it must follow, be deduced then that Russia, especially the Russian “services” that evaluate and report, didn’t know Ukraine enough. Now, if Russia anticipated that the SMO would be like this six months after its start, then my opinion(s) is wrong. I think an easier war was expected and things like the SMO designation were contingent on it; for this reason, neither “demilitarization” nor “denazification” can compensate Russia now for the costs incurred. Only the land gained can do that (but that’s ‘war’ too),
Russia does have robust experience in long lasting military operation. Everyone, who remembers Syria 2016 should not be surprised about “slow” moves of Russian & DPR & LPR soldiers. Here is the same problem and goal: separate civilians from enemy minimising losses. Because of that I’m deeply convinced Russia from the beginning taken into account such “lazy” scenario. One thing Russians could underestimate is degree and influence of SBU terror, literally paralysing Ukrainian inhabitants.
tranquilocomp: “They don’t speak about “denazification” anymore, right?” WRONG! The link below gives a rather credible reason as to why Russia’s SMO will go on to realize its two-prong goal…
Are you kidding, April? I went to the link expecting to see something from the Russians on that and it’s only a website article. You’re sort of proving my point. Let me see a recent quote from Medvedev or Putin or Lavrov…there should be at least something on it, but, if my point was correct, there should be very, very little if anything at all.
They’ll also start saying “SMO” much less, if they have not started already, for the same reason that it’s offside or off-base the longer it lasts. Let’s remember that it’s an SMO as opposed to a “war”, that it forbid the “war” description for it.
Tranquilocomp: It is premature and jumping to the wrong conclusion about the end of the SMO. The fact that it is not declared and outright war allows Russia to go beyond the confines of the Ukraine. It is not locked into a hit, smash, done deal as was the case w/USA’s many illegal wars. Any devts that evolved during the SMO in the Ukraine must fit into its goals of denazification and demilitarization. SMO would end if Elensky and team agree to the terms of cessation. But we know from past dealings w/him and gang, as admitted by Poroshenko, they are reaching for the foolish and impossible delusion of emptying out all Russian speaking Ukrainians there. Don’t forget the US’s pipe dream of taking down Russia – at all costs even to the last Ukrainian. What do Elensky and team’s continued efforts in shelling more aggressively at civilian areas and the ZPP tell us – they do not consider themselves Ukrainians any more! So the SMO is far from its goals there.
Another reason the analysis of the Stalker Zone article is spot on, if the above take is taken into consideration and accurate, the SMO necesarily have to unfold in other ways as well – to get to those who arm, enable, and direct the attacks in eastern Ukraine and Belgorod, and the car bomb deaths of several significant Russians and pro-Russians to prolong the fight w/an eye to weaken, bankrupt, and ‘conquer’ the RF. Now it seems that the US is intends to get directly involved by sending a military commander to lead the Ukrainians. US is notorious for its intransigence and lawlessness (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.) – there is no fear of God! Has the effectiveness of the SMO driven the US to desperation that it is ready to wage an open war w/the RF despite the knowledge that it cannot win against Russia? I think so! So the issue is not that the SMO will scale down/back. The real question is what does the US has up its sleeves? I don’t believe there is any aces left in their tool kit, but they have the ducks lined up in E. Europe, and traitorous opportunistsw in and w/o the RF, who may be roped in to do damage that can be substantial and devastating for the RF and those who rely on Putin’s team to bring about peace, and life can flourish. If the tactic is to prolong the fight and entrench Russia in Ukraine the danger is that the longer the SMO stretches the surprises and unintended devts may arise. The Chinese has a saying “夜长梦多” which literally means that the longer the night the more dreams (or nightmares) there are.
Btw, Lavrov has spoken to the effect about the SMO doing more than the two-prong goals in the Ukraine to encompass doing away w/the unipolarity under the abusive & monolithic hegemon. That’s as clearly spelt out as is wise by the inestimable diplomat of our day! It is the counter force (Judo and taichi) of Putin and team to redierect whatever the US, NATO & EU countries throw its way – politically and economically unintended by them but foreseen by the multi-dimensional thinkers, strategists, and tacticians of agonizingly longsuffering RF.
I don’t think Stalker Zone is right. It’s not impossible, but I don’t think it tries to understand the Russian leadership itself, Putin in particular. Their point also is not fully logical – named it SMO because it could be more extensive than a war, or to extend itself beyond Ukraine? No, to the contrary, it is more logical to say that it was because it was supposed to be smaller than this…so I think he’s sort of a conservative and a minimalist in war. I cannot prove a personal sense, but it’s wrong if one has “a dog in the fight” or a personal preference (I don’t). I’m also following his own speeches. SZ is not doing that and is being imaginative.
Tranquilocomp: SZ is not implying that “SMO…could be more extensive then a war…” It is about reaching the two aims of the SMO. While you are saying that the SMO is not much mentioned now to imply that it is over. That contradicts the aims of the SMO. Has Russia realized the denazifization and demilitarization of Ukraine? Obviously that is not the case yet. So the SMO is far from over. The unintended but foreseeable (by the RF) re the SMO and Ukrainian/ Us/ NATO/ EU intransigence is that the repercussion for them is the effective defanging of the hegemon and its deathlike grip over much of the world since the disintegration of the USSR that is so horrendous for the world.
Another point that argues strongly that the SMOcan be extensive is that it has, ought to have, contingency plan(s) for the long haul if necessary precisely bc it took RF eight long years of planning before it was ready or forced to act and intervene. Intel of an imminent onslaught on eastern Ukraine and RF in Mar 2022, as well as the ‘evidence’ of biological weapons research facilities in Ukr, outrageous & illegal sanctions, & threats to cut RF out of SWIFT, etc, all mean only one thing – intentio/ preparations to take down RF is clearly unfolding. The SMO is a carefully orchestrated attack against the ukronazis, Banderites, Azov Battalion et al, is bc Ukr was a part of the USSR. The war may well come at the end or even sooner if the insanity, idiocy, & inhumanity toward the eastern Ukrainians & Russians continues or escalates. Then it is the RF vs the west, and collateral damage would not hold back the former. Right now it is still not too late to negotiate a truce, and common sense or circumstantial reality mandate it. But the two conditions remain non-negotiable. The call is really not in the RF’s court.
The ‘West’ is the ‘Empire of Lies’. Its MSM cannot but lie. It came from its father, the devil who ”When he lies, he speaks from what he is, for he is a liar and the father of it”. Moreover, it applies the technique of the ‘Big Lie’ (which is not the invention of Goebbels, but of the British/American ‘Lügenpresse’).
The Synagogue of Satan is ensconced comfortably throughout elite positions in the West, which now makes lying for the entire society as easy as breathing.
Guess the SMO woke up the Russian leadership from their slumber, made them realize the enemy is bigger than they thought, time to get up and ready for a confrontation that will make WWII look like a walk in the park.
Not that they were asleep.
The last two decades have prepared Russia for the ongoing conflict, however, the underbelly is still a weak point for Russia, and the Collective West is poking at the bear from the stans constantly. The multi-vectorial policies of some of them, are aimed at eroding their links to Russia/China. Corrupt leaderships looking to make billions while in power, are always ready to jump ship and play the game.
SCO/CSTO et al are part of the Russian defense in the periphery, the backbone, the Russian army, needs to be strengthened and be able to sustain a conflict in many fronts.
“time to get up and ready for a confrontation that will make WWII look like a walk in the park.” “…prepared Russia for the ongoing conflict…”
They are strengthening their military forces – period! Surely, their goal must be to avoid the conflict you state. Some ‘spectators’ may want the ongoing to grow into that. Russia, being the largest and richest nation in natural resources, is still too underdeveloped, so it needs peace to develop that economic potential. That’s where the ball is (for Russia).
It’s a means to incorporate the militias and national guard troops already fighting. It’s means to give those soldiers Russian army benefits. It isn’t to increase the standing army by that many new recruits.
I’m to the point of it doesnt matter how many bad spins are spun, but who are the worst offenders, what type of person is the worst of the reporting offenders?
And I found a top brass type, it looks like a rockum-sockum robot, but its really a person. The personality that built the robot look, also has a cunning evil present that knows not only what it is doing, but why it is doing it.
Now I’ve had experience w/these types, and they are short lived, but good recruiters, only time can whittle their #’s.
This has nothing to do with regular army recruits into the Russian Army. This is all about paying the 140,000 volunteers who are fighting with the Russian Army, paying for medical attention, recuperation from wounds, etc. It is an administrative move to balance the military budget looking at projected expenses.
It is not about “new recruits”, but volunteers already fighting in Ukraine for months and being paid out of other accounts.
As others stated, it seems plausible this decree signed by President Putin provides a legal framework to integrate the Donbass militias into the Russian military. Then again, with President Putin enjoying 80%+ support it is very possible there has been a surge in Russian patriotism, and thus a surge in volunteers.
Finally, for those who know Russia very well, is there a Russian equivalent of the French foreign legion, where foreigners (i.e. those that survive) can gain citizenship through military service?
In another forum someone recently published a picture of smoke rising from somewhere, and talked about the NPP at Energodar being damaged. Another forum talked of electricity grid outages in Zaporozhye Oblast.
Can that place be protected from the individuals trying to damage it??
I saw one like that, but it was fake. The picture was of smoke rising from Crimea, while the text and headline were about the nuke power plant.
I wanted to post a photo of Ukraine’s destruction of the Donbass, but I couldn’t find one. Russia is being blamed for all the damage.
The problem with that is the Russians are trying to build the Ukraine into a friendly neighbor, like Belarus, or at least a neutral one. They are not trying to exterminate Ukrainians. They are not trying to bomb it into the stone age like Obama did Libya. Destroying infrastructure is something NATO does — it was only after months of delay that Russians took out traction stations for Ukrainian electric railroads.
I was just wondering if there isn’t a somewhat selective way to take out the attackers.
Yes, and Zelensky/NATO have used Russia’s humanitarianism against them to the max, unlike Bush & Obama who sleep soundly despite killing tens, nae, hundreds of thousands.
We just cannot tolerate anything happening to a nuclear power plant, there is no winners so whoever is shelling the place must be delt with severely and those giving the orders must be warned off.
This will also have consequences in the …EU, yes as they sell electricity surplus to some EU countries.
In France half of civil nuke facilities are out of service.I know Russia sells uranium to Macron, could it be that Russia stopped delevering? No word from Macron or ‘maintenance’…a bit like the ‘NS1 fake maintenance’…
Maintenance is real – business as usual. Politics clogs up the pipes!
France has corrosion problems, and cannot cool some because of the drought, so buys German energy.
Germany could open NS2, brand new, different turbines, NS1 will be closed for maintenance Aug 30 for 3 days.
Now Canada says 5 turbines are not there, after saying they will be sent back.
Meanwhile Germany failed to get Canadian LNG, maybe that’s also noise.
How can an engineer do his job in this circus? He will be blamed if the machines buckle of course!
When I see Mali I hear uranium. In parallel there was a jihad problem caused by Obama’s bombing of Libya, which France joined, even after Libya had promised to buy French nuclear reactors! France lost that and the AUKUS sub deal – AU gets US nuclear powered subs, even after France had modified their offer to diesel!
France is loosing every which way! Now a major Sahel campaign is in the offing.
With NATO (nazi Atlantic terrorist organisation) becoming more overtly belligerent and toxic, it is only prudent to recruit and train more brave souls to oppose its evil.
Whatever can be done to resist the Empire of Lies, should and must be done.
Taking from a USA news article:
During my tenure with the Department of State’s Office of Counterterrorism (now known as the Bureau of Counter Terrorism), these warnings would only be sent out if we thought we had solid intelligence. And the Department of State, by virtue of being a sclerotic bureaucracy, would lag two or three days behind the date the intelligence info became available. In other words, if Embassy Kiev is putting out this warning on Tuesday morning then the the intelligence behind the alert emerged the previous Thursday or Friday.
The Kiev Embassy alert appears to be quite specific and certainly is urgent in its tone. Get out now. Reminds me of the scene from the movie GET OUT (Go to the 1:30 mark to see the relevant dialogue):
The Embassy made it clear that this was not a suggestion or even a recommendation. Russia was going to do something bad in Kiev and Lviv and other Ukrainian towns and Americans would be at risk. Run for your lives.
When I saw that alert I reached out to some friends still in the intel community. They are always careful to not violated their non-disclosure agreement, but I can get an idea of how serious the intel is concerning the threat motivating this reaction by State Department. My friends were scratching their heads. They had no idea what motivated this. There was no new intelligence signalling an impending monster air attack by Russia.
But it was not just State raising the red flag. The Ukrainian government, with Zelensky in the lead, were out in force of warning about impending doom. They cancelled all 24 August Ukrainian independence day celebrations and parades. They appeared spooked.
So what was up? Did western intelligence intercept valid Russian communications about a planned attack? Did the public warnings about Russian attacks persuade Moscow to call off the aerial assault? Was Russia deliberately leaking information in order to gauge western and Ukraine reactions? Or is the attack still to come and Russia is just biding its time watching gleefully as the west and Ukraine run about frantically waiting for the bombs to drop?
To reiterate a point I raised in my previous article–if Russia launches massive strikes on Kiev, Lviv, Kharkov, Odesa and Sumy this week, this will mark a watershed moment. It is a departure from Russia’s current rules of engagement to limit civilian casualties. There is little doubt among Russian experts that Ukraine’s bombing of civilian areas in the Donbas, the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and the murder of Darina Dugina have enraged Moscow. Think of Churchill’s reaction to the first Nazi bombing (a mistake by the way) of civilian areas in London in September 1940–he ordered retaliatory strikes on Berlin. Perhaps Moscow may take off the gloves and start hitting Ukraine and the west in their command and government centers.
My own guess is that the west is reacting to a Russian deception campaign. Why would the Russians do that? Watching the ensuring activity at various locations would give Russia a better idea of what to target in the future, for example. Or, it could divert the attention of Ukrainian military authorities from other areas in southern Ukraine where Russia appears to be stepping up operations.
One other peripherally related topic–the western propaganda campaign is roaring a full blast and Moon of Alabama offers up a terrific article detailing the craziness. Make sure you read it. Also, Andrei Martyanov offers a very credible explanation for the pace of the Russian offensive. Another must read.
“Think of Churchill’s reaction to the first Nazi bombing (a mistake by the way) of civilian areas in London in September 1940–he ordered retaliatory strikes on Berlin.”
That is not factual. Churchill bombed German cities for many weeks, months before Germany decided to reciprocate. Churchill’s secretary in his memoirs recalls the syphllitic Rothschild puppet ranting to the sky one evening, while drunk during British bombing of German civilians, “Why won’t they come?”.
Or Russian counterintelligence gave a juicy bit to someone high up who was under serious suspicion for leaking secrets. The reaction proves he or she was the mole and then, wait until the excitement dies down a bit, and make the military move intended. I’m guessing September 1 as a launch date for the fall offensive, just because Orthodox Christianity values synchronicity.
The Russian Ambassador made a very good statement at the UN yesterday after the drug addled elensky made a speech where he lied as usual. The Ambassador had a subtle dig at him at the start. It is a long and detailed statement – I will put the beginning here:
The reason that the Council members at one point decided to avoid connecting foreign leaders via video link is also the desire to avoid the technical glitches that we just saw during the speech of Mr. Vladimir Zelensky. At times it was very difficult to understand him. We hope that our position in favor of the need for participating in meetings of such guests in person — if only out of respect for them — has become clearer to those following today’s meeting.
Mr. President,
We gathered here yesterday in connection with a specific threat to international peace and security – Kiev’s ongoing shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is bringing Europe to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. We took note of the Secretary General’s explanation as for why he did not participate in the yesterday’s meeting. However, today’s meeting has no formal connection whatsoever to the developments on the ground and it is intended to demonstrate the unwavering support of Western delegations for any actions of the Kiev regime. As it was to be expected, we have heard enough mantras about the Russian aggression. As we have already said, over the past 200 years the West has not been able to come up with any other explanation for the challenges to the European security, except for references to Russia’s actions.
Today we have heard a lot of allegations about the catastrophic consequences of the six months of hostilities for the civilian population of Ukraine. Nobody argues that Ukrainians are having a hard time today. However, the responsibility for this lies with the Kiev regime which came to power in 2014 as a result of an anti-constitutional coup carried out with the help of a number of Western States. From the very beginning, the new Maidan authorities have consistently led the country to disaster, encouraging Russophobia and the glorification of Nazi criminals. Thus, according to the most conservative estimates, more than 60 percent of the population of Ukraine was deprived of the opportunity to demonstrate their Russian-speaking identity, contrary to all relevant international conventions and obligations of Ukraine. Western curators, blinded by the geopolitical task of weakening Russia, initially made it clear that they would cover up any crimes of the Kiev authorities and turn a blind eye to all the things they would never allow in their own countries.
The Kiev regime fully demonstrated its criminal nature when it burnt those who disagreed with it alive in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa and dropped bombs and shelled the civilian population of Donbas. In this senseless “crusade” against itself, Ukraine lost Crimea and provoked an armed resistance from the Donetsk and Lugansk residents, who took up arms in the name of freedom and the future of their children.
This war, which claimed the lives of civilians for eight years, could have ended if Kiev had implemented the Minsk agreements. However, neither the Ukrainian authorities nor their foreign patrons needed this. They spoke openly about it once again at the beginning of this year, threatening to abandon their nuclear-free status. Against this background, in order to establish peace in the Donbas, as well as to prevent the obvious threats emanating from Ukraine to Russia, we had no choice but to launch a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, and we’ve been successfully reaching the goals of this operation on a consistent basis. I repeat once again: if the Minsk agreements had been implemented, no special operation there be necessary. But the Kiev regime decided otherwise.
Criminal shelling of the republics of Donbas does not stop. According to available assessments, since the beginning of the escalation in the Donetsk People’s Republic in February more than 840 people have died along the line of contact, about 2,800 were injured. In the Luhansk People’s Republic, 80 people were killed and more than 250 were injured. About a hundred civilians have been killed in just four weeks since the previous meeting on July 29.
The Ukrainian armed forces purposefully destroy civilian infrastructure, including kindergartens, schools and medical facilities, power lines and gas pipelines. They do not spare even those cities of Donbas that until recently were under their control, such as Lisichansk. And instead of condemning their Ukrainian wards our former Western partners are supplying them with more and more new types of weapons, reaching where Kiev could not reach before. Thus, they become accomplices in crimes against the civilian population, and given that the use of some artillery systems, as the Ukrainians themselves admit, is impossible without coordinating targets with suppliers, they also become co-perpetrators. This primarily concerns the American MLRS “HIMARS”, that was used, in particular, to strike the correctional colony in Yelenovka on July 29, costing the lives of more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war. We know that the President of Ukraine is well aware that the Ukrainian armed forces are behind this crime, although today he fed us a false version of Russia’s involvement in this……….”
This is a very powerful speech and gives a good indication where Russia is going with this. It appears they are going to just plow through the West’s narrative, create a counternarrative, capture as many Nazis as they can, have the Donetsk Russians put them on trial and then to death. In short, a repeat of what the Soviets and West did with the Germans. And my guess is it is their facts will become the historical truth.
Unfortunately the UN is a dead horse, beating it will not work.
Russia, China, Iran, India, and other minor powers, need to start a new international framework outside the UN, a corrupt to the core organization, completely hijacked by the criminal Collective West.
Regardless, it is important to learn what transpires in that whorehouse.
I think UN should be dismantled entirely. Not only it failed its intended purpose even in its second iteration, but since establishment of League of Nations the world has gone through bloodiest conflicts in history and the host nation hijacked the institution and became an international bully. Perhaps the new world Russia is building should be based on bilateral relations rathen than be supervised by UN-like entity.
I take that back, maybe not abolished, there are many good international agreements that ought to be universal rather than bilateral, like UNCLOS. Just make sure UN cannot be hijacked by one strong member.
1 The UN is already hijacked. See my response to Black Cloud
2 The UN can negotiate as many treaties as it likes – but if national parliaments dont ratify those treaties then those countries arent signatories eg the US is not a signatory to UNCLOS and forbids its citizens from being subpoenaed to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for example.
A parallel organization perhaps called something like “Humanity United” needs to emerge from the interaction between participants in various multipolar platforms. It should go beyond Nation States defined by imperialistic historical legacy and affirm the principles of uinversal indivisible security and right of people to define their historical national identity via the referendum mechanism. This will complement the tectonic shifts in the geoeconomics domain with a counterpart in geocultural domain
The mainstream news media in the USA flatly reports as fact the lie that Russian troops are shelling themselves in order to trigger a nuclear meltdown.
“reverse” Vietnam
Let me explain: the collective West thought they could drag RU into the quagmire (Russia’s Vietnam) by forcing “Ze” to fight to the last Ukrainian.
But now it’s the collective West that is bogged down to that quagmire, forced to pump $$$ and deplete their own weapon stockpile, and go into economic depression by all their own sanctions! And RU is not at all in a hurry to finish up this conflict; she needs time to consolidate the partners for the new world order.
So, it looks like …. reverse Vietnam!
After losing a large percentage of their *best & brightest* NATO trained soldiers and moving the 2nd & 3rd rate ones to the frontlines, there appears an uptick in casualties (from maybe losing 300-500 KIA + Wounded per day, to now losing 1000-1500 per day). Russia seem to be going after the better trained soldiers behind the lines, the ones who are ready to speed towards, shore up any cracks in defences due to losses and to shoot deserters, thereby discouraging such repetition from other units . In doing so Russia must believe that desertion/surrender would be en masse if they could deplete heavily the hardcore NATO Nazis.
Poor regular/conscripts caught up in no man’s land. If I was in this situation I’d spend all the time between bombs drawing up a plan (in my head) on how to run/escape East to freedom, well probably jail, which is still a much better option than getting shot in the face or back.
I can remember a golf trip (links course) to Aberdeen, Scotland a few years back with half a dozen mates when there was a hell of a wind blowing off the North Sea, causing me to spend a lot of time ball plugged escaping from a bunker. So I can really empathize with those Ukies, it’s nae picnic lad!
That is an insult to the martyrs of Christianity, whether East or West.
Z’s fate to be decided at NATO HQ, and it looks like they prepare a Junta of Ukr. Mil. Chief who might sue for a deal.
Forget any Gnostic crystal ball gazing – this is real sh*it, sorry, shrapnel.
Putin and his staff know it’s best to let Ze live than to make him a martyr. If he lives it will give the people of Ukraine a point at which to focus their rage, or at least their questions regarding what happened to their nation. All probably in vain though as MI6 or the CIA will probably dispose of him themselves.
Good point. In a RT today link I’ve posted above, Russia announces a bounty on two nazi commanders of the kiev regime. Another article RT today shows Ze posting images of nazi members, noted on his social media page. Today, he made a sketchy, digital appearance at his UN SC instead of in person, a breach of protocol.
Aqui no Centro-Oeste do Brasil, conversando com um Advogado de Imobiliária, ele está vendendo duas casas para famílias suíças, eles virão em dois meses, crêem que a Europa acabou. Esses dias, estava no Hospital, cinco pacientes conversando em inglês, meu médico contou que aumentou muito o número de pacientes estrangeiros.
Creio que haverá uma debandada europeia para o Brasil, muitos amigos com parentes que trabalham na Europa estão procurando casas para alugar devido a volta de trabalhadores que hoje estão em Portugal e na Irlanda.
A desnazificação da Ucrânia é só a ponta do Iceberg, as conseqüencias serão mundiais.
Um pouco de humor negro: creio que o melhor investimento na próxima primavera na Europa será em funerárias. :-/
Tradução Google:
Here in the Midwest of Brazil, talking to a Real Estate Lawyer, he is selling two houses to Swiss families, they will come in two months, they believe Europe is over. These days, I was in the Hospital, five patients talking in English, my doctor said that the number of foreign patients has increased a lot.
I believe there will be a European stampede to Brazil, many friends with relatives who work in Europe are looking for houses to rent due to the return of workers who are now in Portugal and Ireland.
The denazification of Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg, the consequences will be worldwide.
A bit of dark humor: I think the best investment next spring in Europe will be in funeral homes. :-/
Not just war in Ukraine, Europe is getting hammered by the nature as well. Worst drought worst in 500 years, forest fires, energy crisis and general everyday Brusel bureaucracy BS – it adds up. I am looking at Russia as potential migration destination, Republic of Dagestan looks lovely, mild warm weather, one of lowest homicide rates in Russia. IMO if Putin plays this game right, Russia can become new talent sink and talent will flow opposite direction – from West and from Asia to Russia.
The train that got all busted up Wednesday may have been carrying grain to starving Africans. That tanks and stuff were also mangled shouldn’t be viewed as suspicious as they were only a deterrent against Somalian pirates operating between Kiev & Lviv.
Of course it’s sarcasm!
Somalian pirates wouldn’t last a day in Lviv. Probably be thrown into the Donbass frontline, whereas they’d rather take their chance worrying American and European frigates in the Gulf of Aden. Much longer odds of survival.
The rational course for Ukraine would have been to allow Donetsk and Lugansk to break away. There is zero chance that they will ever be part of Ukraine. So why did Ukraine choose to engage in warfare with Russia when it is futile?
They did it because the USA told them to do it. So the real question is: Why does USA want war in Ukraine? Are they dumb enough to think that Ukraine will be Russia’s “Viet Nam”?
I suspect the real motive has something to do with the Great Reset. War in Ukraine is somehow part of a plot by The Global Bankster Cult to achieve total tyranny and famine throughout the world. Get ready to eat insects.
The ‘West’ wants the war in Ukraine because they believe that an unsuccessful war for Russia would provoke a revolution on the model 1905, 1917 which would lead to ‘regime change’ and to the dismantling of Russia. Their narcissistic hubris (compounded with an appalling ignorance of things Russian) prevents them to learn anything from history.
Check the history of Khazaria…connecting the dots to neocons like Nuland, Blinken and co…you will find the REAL reason. Check also Syria(same neocons, greater Israel project), Ukraine was supposed to be Israel 2.0, exactly the zone liberated by Russia (the richest one), most important being the two biggest strategic spots in Europe or even the World: Crimea and Odessa.
Anglos + neocons will try ANYTHING to deny Odessa to Russia and if possible retaking Crimea one day as a big bonus, it was the main goal of the Maidan.
UK was supposed to open two bases near Odessa.
Russia without access to hot seas via Crimea, Odessa, Tartous( + Yemenin air base to protect)…would be almost finished or very diminished in terms of military dominance.Acces to baltic sea may become next neocons + russophobes countries in the area.Arctic and Pacific passages/ access would become only escape.
Baikonour is also very important eventhough less in in the mid term.
With disputed borders, Ukraine couldn’t be admitted into NATO, right? Ukraine had to re-aquire the Dombas (and Crimea) or have zero chance of joining. So they’re hell bent on it.
That’s also why the US, UK, and Canada etc. egged them into attacking their seperatist provinces. Of course Russia was a spanner in the works and preempted the Ukrainian attack.
Was it not an attempt to achieve a possible first strike nuclear capability? My read is that beyond all other motives, American war planners were looking for strategic dominance, with nukes on the eastern border of Ukraine. Russian war planners had no other choice. Missiles only minutes from Moscow leaves Russia the options of immediate launch, or surrender.
Possibly. But their calculus might have weighted 50k troops attacking the Dombas (and Crimea later?) with more weight. Remember they had all that NATO training? Plus this is the industrial heartland of Ukraine too.
Scott Ritter says “Once Avdeevka falls everything will fall into place”. If he is correct (and I think he is), it will be the beginning of the end of the war!!!
Before the “evasion” of Azovztal in Marioupol some people mentioned there where some big bosses hidding inside. Was this true? If this was the case who where they and what happened to them?
Unfortunate that the passports weren’t made of the same kryptonite coated material used by the 9/11 hijackers, it would have made the investigations by the Russian authorities so much easier.
The upcoming very public trials in cages will bring all that out. Kiev is desperate to top the trials – they even attacked Azov POW’s. I presume Donbass is aware of the danger.
It should be quite a cacophony of singing canaries!
In regards to the Darya Dugina murder, its hard to see Zelensky committing this atrocity of his own accord. At the very least he would require “permission” from his Anglo handlers.
Probably a sign of desperation on their part.
Take me home, Moscow road: US marine’s bumpy path back to US embassy in Russian capital caught on CCTV (not directly related, but will lighten the mood):
I wonder if the money the US is constantly giving to Ukraine and the latest commitment to continue funding it, is about blackmail and extortion from the Ukrainians (who have a lot of dirt on American politicians) and not about all this BS about “democracy” and “freedom”? These American politicians are stealing from their own country to cover their own crimes. Some day all will be revealed.
I personally wonder if Ukrainian casualty reports are not just underreported for moral purposes but also due to the oldest military scam in history, reporting dead soldiers as still alive, and on the roster, to collect their salaries and whatever else the commanders get to keep them fed, equipped, and in the field.
It is not as if corruption at this level is not known in the Ukraine.
Collecting dead mens paychecks I am sure is probably the least of Ukrainian sins.
If our government was a serious government of sane, common sense driven, truly concerned American politicians, we would be demanding an accurate counting of casualties.
It is the American taxpayer that pays ALL Ukrainian Service Personnel salaries after all.
Even the salaries of AZOV assassins that murder philosophers young daughters.
YUP!
We paid for that too.
“No body, No Dollars” , there fixed it for ya.
Ukraine needs $5 billion a month to get by.
Now there is a bankers paradox – unpayable loans mean a pound of flesh – how is a poor banker to collect?
Maybe the famous Ukrainian black earth sold on the black market?
The “Tsargrad” article touches upon the “Asian threat” without furthering a definition of the threat, which locates in Central Asia.
Just found an article, same news outlet, re: Russia’s relationship with the stans, which expands on the points I make in my comment, and help to understand the “Central Asia threat,” the corrupt stans elites, their multi-vectorial policies, their backstabbing of Russia, their servitude to the Russophobic policies of the Collective West, their selfish foreign policies.
Russia is correct to consider them a threat.
Just read how Kazakhstan’s Tokayev dismisses Russia’s help during the recent “color revolution” that threatened to unseat the regime’s elites. His derogatory statements frame the relationship with Russia in the context of “we don’t owe you anything.”
ORGANIZATION OF FRIENDS BOWING TO BIDEN: RUSSIA PUTS CSTO BEFORE A CHOICE
What to do with the” allies ” in the CIS and CSTO, who constantly betray Moscow, bending before the West, which is waging a war of annihilation with Russia? There is a way out. This is a solvable problem.
“…What” surprised ” Tokayev?
In the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin and in an interview with Russian media, the president of Kazakhstan, which never existed as a state before 1991, where the Bolsheviks included several purely Russian regions for their own purposes, said that Nur-Sultan, Moscow’s partner in the CIS and CSTO, would not recognize the LPR and DPR, which he called ” quasi-states”. The Kazakh president mocked the right of nations to self-determination, which, in particular, gave birth to his own country, calling it an invitation to “chaos” and thereby laying a mine for the future for Kazakhstan itself. Tokayev confirmed that Kazakhstan will continue to submit to the West’s illegal anti-Russian sanctions (“Sanctions are sanctions. We must not break them”). And finally, as it turned out, he is not at all grateful to Russia for the recent suppression of the bloody oligarchic putsch in his country, organized with the support of the West by the Nazarbayev clan, which is mired in monstrous corruption and nepotism, attributing the merit of saving Kazakhstan and himself personally… The CSTO. Although everyone is well aware that Tokayev and Kazakhstan were saved from chaos and carnage, first of all, by Russia.
“Austria will still surprise the world with its ingratitude,” Felix Schwarzenberg, the country’s foreign minister, declared in the mid-19th century, when Russia, guided by its obligations under the Holy Alliance and without pursuing any selfish goals, saved the “friendly” empire from the Hungarian revolution. And the world saw that because of Austria’s betrayal, Russia lost the Crimean War. And here’s what Tokayev said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel::
For the first time in 30 years of the CSTO (do you catch any contemptuous notes here? – editor’s note) proved itself by sending a limited contingent to Kazakhstan. I emphasize that it is not Russia, but the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). In Russia, some people misrepresent this situation, claiming that Russia saved Kazakhstan, and Kazakhstan should now serve forever and bow at the feet of Russia. I believe that this is completely unjustified reasoning, far from reality. It is impossible to politicize this situation, to express all sorts of idle fictions about it.
After that, you don’t need to give any other quotes.
He’s not alone…
What is this, an annoying exception? Of course not. At the recent anniversary summit of the CSTO, with the exception of Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, other leaders of the organization’s member countries never mentioned the special operation in Ukraine, the conflict with NATO and Western sanctions, but they spoke in unison about the threat from Afghanistan, which-thanks to Russian diplomacy – does not yet exist. Only Kyrgyzstan, which is more dependent on Moscow than others, has expressed very cautious understanding of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, but, like all other countries in the region, is doing everything possible to ensure that support for Putin’s policy in the Ukrainian direction in Kyrgyz society is minimal. In short, this is a typical political buffet. We take what we like from it, and ignore the rest. If we are in trouble, we run to Moscow for help and get it. If Russia has problems, we say that it is a “big and strong country”, so it will somehow get out of it. The Russians will not punish us for this, just as they do not punish us for many other things. But the West, if we disobey, will take three skins. Do we need it? Such is the “positivist philosophy”.
The reasons why Russia’s “allies” in the CIS and CSTO are holding on to it are obvious. First of all, Moscow, we repeat, does not beat hands for this. Secondly, all the above-mentioned countries are afraid of secondary and personal sanctions of the West. This is admitted quite openly. Tokayev, for example, spoke honestly about this in St. Petersburg. Kazakh Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi also stated that his country
It always opposes sanctions as a method of international pressure, only if these sanctions are not adopted by the UN, but in order not to earn secondary sanctions ourselves, we will not help to circumvent them.
He was referring, of course, to Russia and the sanctions imposed on us by the West.
Other politicians in Kazakhstan, almost all of Moscow’s “partners” in the CIS and CSTO, speak in the same spirit. Sabotage of the integration process within the EAEU-from the same series. The Central Asian countries receive financial aid, which is partly deposited in the pockets of the elite, not only from Russia, but also from Washington, London, Brussels, and individual EU countries. In addition, Nur-Sultan and others want to make money on the supply of goods from the list of parallel imports to Russia. If it falls under Western sanctions, this will not be possible…”
[Last sentence bold blackletter is mine.]
——————————————————-
Tokayev has legal points in International law. Kazakhstan has $15 billion of their own frozen in US and is under various pressure.
Like Serbia they can support Russia only to a certain point, then the blackmail on the government becomes unbearable and they have to give in.
We dont know what is happening behind the media campaigns, a professional Martyanov maybe could clear this up, I dont know. Just saying we should hesitate in blacking governments. Government policy is the art of the feasible, not the desirable.
A good example of US foreign policy toward Russia, drunk as a skunk in hate, greed, and Russophobia, stumbling on their own ambitions, falling on every other policy, unable to walk in balance.
Reminder 55,000,000 – 70,000,000 people were killed in the Second War to defeat Fascism.
The so-called “Day of the Defenders of Ukraine” rally in Kiev brings out Azov, Right Sektor & other ultra-nationalist gangs, incl. the regime-backed Bandera fans in tribute to the OUN-UPA, which exterminated more than 100,000 Poles, Jews, Russians, communists & Roma gypsies.
Patriotic spirit is runnig high in Russia, and the success in Syria has burnished the image of the military. In this atmosphere it will attract higher quality recruits. Sensible move.
Military summary yesterday came forward with an analysis as to why the RF are amassing lots of paratrooper helicopters (enough for moving 16.000 of them) near the frontline. He concluded that this helicopter gathering might be useful for the liberation of Nikolaev (and possibly Odessa). But he failed to mention that the RF may want to set up a raid against the Ukies who are shelling the nuclear power station from the opposite side of the Dniepr river. My guess is, that there a unexpected massive helicopter attack may be most effective.
The UAF shelling started fires which wrecked the main powerline from ZNPP to Ukraine itself – no more power.Other powerlines are ok.
Looks like they want to stop at all costs an IAEA inspectors visit. IAEA chef Grossi said at the Davos May25 meet. This is literally explosive :
If you are into the history and are familiar with the detailed campaigns of the Great Patriotic War, there is a whole book dedicated to Russian deception practices:
They literally had entire units devoted to this and conducted almost all of their operations with “Maskirovka” in mind. As a result the Germans were surprised time and time again.
I think this is why all commentators in the West fail to understand what Russia is doing and why the Ukes seem to always be caught flatfooted. There is nothing comparable in the US Army or in the West.
It seems there are Polish regulars openly fighting in Ukraine.
Meyssan points out that in such a case NATO Article 5 does not apply as Poland initiated it.
This opens pandora’s box – what if the US, UK openly initiate action in Ukraine, knowing this?
Looks like Ukraine is used to get around all existing treaties, including NATO.
@ intel slava it is said that NPS-Z (the atomic power station under attack by nazis) remains disconnected from grid (09:00 UTC August 26) – and therefore essential internal plant loads are being carried by EDG (emergency diesel generators). As Arnie explains at Fairewinds, EDG’s are typically sized to handle only essential systems, pumps, mostly. Diesels too require cooling… Considering that USSR built the plant, I suspect that the diesels are proportionally larger and more redundant that the designs used in US NPS. Diesels are rugged and reliable, provided they have sound cooling systems and clean fuel, competent technical supervision, spares, etc. People tend to imagine that diesel cooling requirements are fairly small…whereas in reality the waste heat exceeds the power output in nearly all applications, but a rough estimate would be that a notationally 6 MW diesel sends to the cooling system perhaps 7 or 8 MW, and maybe more. Bombarding the plant can, it’s a matter of luck, mostly, rupture one or more EDG cooling systems. Generally the EDG’s use very large fluid to air cooling – “radiators” vaguely similar to the one used in cars, but more robust. Nevertheless they can be ruptured by shelling or concussion. Further, it’s said that NPS-Z is fueled with unsuitable fuel from Westinghouse, and that the reactor fuel bundles are warped and the reactor internals are out of design spec because of this improper fuel. IMHO all NPS-Z operating reactors ought to be shut-down, (well, they are, as without grid there’s no load) and I note than in shut-down they’ll all require either grid or EDG’s for perhaps a year. At present the “barrier” the only barrier preventing a catastrophic event is the continued EDG’s running. At this time the plant has one line of defense – the diesels. I hope the Soviet engineers built in the ability to cross connect the EDG’s and plenty of bunker fuel, and rugged engines, and rugged cooling systems… (and I would very much like to have some block diagrams of NPS-Z systems!) (Personally, I have found Russian (Soviet) machinery to be elegant in fundamental ways.) Generally NPS cannot “black start”, which is to say that without grid they cannot be started. In a technical view, the situation at NPS-Z is very grave and teetering on the edge. Since the reactors are shut-down, (a process, not really an event), they’ll probably stay shut down, now, for a long time…they need Russian fuel, major overhauls and inspections, re-fits, etc, and of course a peaceful and stable environment. My view is that NPS-Z is out of business for several years, pending from re-fit and the completion of SMO 404, and points west, especially points west.
…………other matter> “Russian allegations of rampant Nazism in Europe” (25 August, Gilbert Doctorow) touches the matter of 404. (I am astonished that Gilbert limited his paper to European (including the ones in 404) nazis! Most dangerous nazis are not in Europe. Most wear nice suits and have servants, and make no secret of their ambitions to rule the Earth and “cull” the nutzlossenvolk)

Grossi is banking on Macron saying he has security guarantees from Ukraine and Russia.
Grossi better pack flak-jackets, and ride an armored detail. I hope he is not naive.
The US or Nato will refuse to extradite those who are guilty of any violations of intl. law, we’ve seen it many times, they doent care about intl. law.
It’s a common matter these days for “wanted” people to simply be kidnapped, I believe Mercouris spoke to this recently. Two can play at such a game. The jurisdiction for war crimes can be disputed, but I understand Nuremberg as establishing universal jurisdiction. And shall we recall that certain zionists kidnapped Eichmann? The show trial and hanging was ever so splendid. They say, for example, that Great Man of Peace Kissinger will not visit certain countries, aheemmm.
International Law is based in Contracts between equals in Law. What one party does is thus available under the law to another. That’s at the most basic foundational level.
But we note that, as you say, they don’t care…and, well, they simply use force and cunning as a brigand would. Force and lies are their rule, and we may say, their last resort.
Some might imagine that Russian agents might someday grab a few nazi criminals almost anywhere. They say that they check the older people visiting Rus – to check them against wanted lists from WW2…Mr Bear has long memory.
The Ukraine conflict is being used for the Green Cult – Ukrainian’s and Russian’s are being offered on the alter of Gaia. This is an old European (Bel, Apollo, Mithra, Ishtar) and American (Aztec) ‘tradition’ – Sun gods expect it.
Attention Christians, of all color’s, – deja-vu?
Since many here look at the conflict from a religious point of view – heed the harrowing warning from Germany’s perhaps greatest Poet, Heinrich Heine!
“Religion And Philosophy In Germany A Fragment” https://archive.org/stream/religionandphilo011616mbp/religionandphilo011616mbp_djvu.txt
…On Emmanuel Kant, taught today all across the transatlantic :
“What a strange contrast did this man’s outward life
present to his destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!
In sooth, had the citizens of Koenigsberg had the least
presentiment of the full significance of his ideas, they
would have felt a far more awful dread at the presence of
this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but
kill the body. But the worthy folk saw in him nothing
more than a Professor of Philosophy, and as he passed
at his customary hour, they greeted him in a friendly
manner and set their watches by him. ”
This “harmless” little man, Kant, opened the door to what many call nazi-ism .
It takes such a Poet , Heine, to sound alarm.
Reading this, mostly unknown text, from 1834, knowing what we do now, and note how calm it seems!
Andrei,
There is an article in the August issue of Marine Corps Gazette by somebody writing under the nom de guerre Marinus’ – presumably a retired senior Marine officer – brazenly laying out the realities of the SMO and applying the blowtorch of truth to the Kiev / Langley / western media psy-op.
Although he felt obliged to use a pseudonym, it’s very encouraging that it got published at all. Needless to say, the usual media suspects have studiously ignored it.
I had to set up a Marine Corps Association account and make a small ‘donation’ before I could download the PDF. It starts near the end of the issue on page 90. I don’t have the software to cull just those pages, but happy to share the whole PDF with anyone who wants it.
‘Marinus’ claims that Russian doctrine borrowed the English term ‘raid’ in the late 1800s (he transcribes the Russian as ‘reyd’ so I assume it’s рейд) but that the Russian concept is broader than the USMC usage. He never uses the word ‘feint’ but he might as well have.
Key passage:
‘In the early days of the maneuver warfare debate, maneuverists often presented their preferred philosophy as the logical opposite of “firepower / attrition warfare.” … In the Russian campaigns in Ukraine, however, a set of operations made mostly of movement complemented one composed chiefly of cannonades.
‘One way to resolve this apparent paradox is to characterize the raids of the first five weeks of the war as a grand deception that, while working little in the way of direct destruction, made possible the subsequent attrition of the Ukrainian armed forces.
‘In particular, the threat posed by the raids delayed the movement of Ukrainian forces into the main theater of the war until the Russians had deployed the artillery units, secured the transporting network, and accumulated the stocks of ammunition needed to conduct a long series of big bombardments. This delay also ensured that, when the Ukrainians did deploy additional formations to the Donbass region, the movement of such forces, and the supplies needed to sustain them, had been rendered much more difficult by the ruin wrought upon the Ukrainian rail network by long-range guided missiles. In other words, the Russians conducted a brief campaign of maneuver in the north in order to set the stage for a longer, and, ultimately, more important, campaign of attrition in the east.
‘From the start, Russian propaganda insisted that the “special military operation” in Ukraine served three purposes: the protection of the two pro-Russian protostates, “demilitarization,” and “denazification.” All three of these goals required the infliction of heavy losses upon Ukrainian formations fighting in the Donbass. None, however, depended upon the occupation of parts of Ukraine where the vast majority of people spoke the Ukrainian language, embraced a Ukrainian ethnic identity, and supported the Ukrainian state. Indeed, the sustained occupation of such places by Russian forces would have supported the proposition that Russia was trying to conquer all of Ukraine.’
I don’t have the software to cull just those pages, but happy to share the whole PDF with anyone who wants it.
There is a simple workaround:
1) Choose “Print”
2) Select the page range
3) Most important, choose “PDF file” as your printer destination
4) Save the file to your preferred destination.
The vast Russian Federation spans 11 time zones and sits atop 1/4 to 1/3 of the world’s resources. They got it and the globohomoschlomo grifters want it. The globohomoschlomos had these vast resources within their grasp in the early 1990s, but blew it, and they are pissed. The vile globohomoschlomos are still determined to bust up Russia and grab the goodies. It’s that simple.
There is a difference to the 1990’s – the globohomoschlomo is now utterly bankrupt.
The first to fall was the Wall, now the next foot falls.
Time to put globohomoschlomo through Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, and only 4 major powers acting together, Russia, USA (yes, that’s right), China, India can call the shots.
India and China are right now getting their act together – expect major meetings in Sep.
If trying to induce a nuclear catastrophe doesn’t constitute a war crime on the part of Kiev and their backers in Washington and London then I don’t know what does. The Zelensky regime is a criminal/terrorist regime and it’s backers are the same.
The UK is the celebrated asylum, haven of Russian haters and repository of their ill gotten gains. The hospitality of M16 extends to protection 24/7 and lavish funding by the ignorant British tax payer.
The female suspect in the murder of Daren Dugin has disappeared in Western Europe following her timely exit from Russia. Her VSU and M16 handlers will insure her escape via a clandestine pipeline and her likely safe haven will be the UK under the protection of M16. Not the main protagonist behind the murder she becomes the hunted fanatic with a short shelf life unless she is judged useful as a propaganda asset in the information war against Russia.
similarly to the mysterious lady who was involved in the Navalny poisoning..
Maria Pevchikh
.note UK Estonia long history of intel connections.
British Army Review publication from summer 2021 states: “Ukraine and Estonia have evolved more from support to (UK) Operations ORBITAL and CABRIT”, the UK deployment to Estonia as part of NATO’s Forward Presence. “These are also win-wins for NATO, which is coming neatly into alignment.”
If they can hide the Skiprols why can’t they hide her and her daughter? As for England being a safe haven for Russian dissidents, Marx rests their if I remember, Boris on his grannies side is Russian, no doubt Bolshevik dissident. Still the same cast of characters, hundreds of years later, a story, like a song with no end……..it goes on and on.
The Russian Federation is playing for time, hoping that the counter-sanctions will have significant political effects. If the effects are not significant enough, where could the breakup come from? Mid Term in USA? Taiwan and the problems of supply chain disruptions? Banking disruption? The Vatican has required all religious institutions and officials to deposit their money in the Vatican bank. Announcement of a new reserve currency by VVP at the Vladivostok seminar in the fall? I am impressed by the calmness of the Russians in such a high-stakes situation.
I am optimistic but tense. The more complete the defeat of the West, the more hope we can have in the long run. A hard winter, like the one in 44-45 in Europe would be a blessing.
The people who settled America were a hardy rugged individuals, they could handle the cold, break the land, and fight the animals w/the equivalent of todays pea shooters.
As time went on they multiplied, but the ruggedness slowly went away as the amount of heavy lifting required was reduced by each generation.
Then came the industrial revolution, each generation needing to do less work as the machine replaced labor.
Todays humans system cant take the change in seasons w/o getting sick as a dog in the process, 3 days after they realize there are not enough blankets to keep everyone warm and toasty, there will be riots in the streets.
Voenkor Kitten Z
Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation at 00-30 Moscow time on August 27, 2022 during the operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine especially for the Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok channel – part I:
1.
Avdiivka.
Positional battles in the industrial zone and north of the village along the Avdeevka-Konstantinovka highway. There has been no significant progress in recent days. The artillery of the Avdiivka group continues shelling Donetsk and other settlements.
The fighting at the Donetsk airport is in a positional vein. Experienced – completely under the enemy. Fights with the aim of advancing to Experienced have not yet yielded decisive results.
2.
Sands.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the army of the DPR are entrenched in the occupied fortified area and are methodically pushing the enemy away from the outskirts of Peski from the nearest forest plantations, although the enemy continues to claim that he is still fighting for Peski. He has already lost the main fortifications here. Our troops are applying pressure in the direction of Pervomaisky and Nevelskoye (there is a slight advance) and in the direction of Vodyany, with the aim of advancing towards the Orlovka-Avdeevka highway and trying to take them under fire control from the south. The enemy understands this, so he fortifies himself in Vodyany, transfers reserves to Orlovka in case of an unfavorable development of events. The main advance of our troops in this direction becomes possible mainly due to the overwhelming artillery destruction of enemy positions, which in a significant part of cases ensures the success of the assault groups.
3.
Marinka.
There is little progress in the village. The enemy is holding the western part of the settlement behind a waste heap and has not yet demonstrated readiness to withdraw. The current activity of the assault groups and the factor of artillery destruction of enemy positions is still not enough to knock the enemy out of positions.
Attempts to advance south of Maryinka between Maryinka and Novomikhailovka have so far not yielded decisive results.
4.
Carbon.
On the outskirts of Novomikhailovka – positional battles, as in the Shevchenkovo area. Pavlovka is still under the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Ugledar-Marinka road has not yet been cut. The enemy periodically makes counterattacks with forces up to 1-2 companies, but to no avail. Positional tendencies continue to dominate.
5.
Artemovsk.
The main battles were for the Zaitsevo-Kodema line. Zaitsevo (not to be confused with the captured Gorlovsky Zaitsevo) is still under the enemy, the fighting is on the near approaches, but ours have not yet entered the village itself. Kodema is partially covered by our troops, the fighting has moved to the village itself, although it is too early to talk about control, the enemy is stubbornly resisting. Attempts to counterattack the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not lead to success and ended in losses without any results.
On the outskirts of Artemovsk – no change. It has not yet been possible to advance to the Artyomovsk-Soledar road.
Regular attacks on concentrations and locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk, in the area of Chasov Yar and other settlements. The artillery group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition to supporting the troops, continues to launch missile strikes on the territory of the DPR and LPR.
6.
Soledar.
Fighting in the industrial zone to the west of the Knauf plant and in the area of the quarry, from where the APU was ousted. The enemy is stubbornly defending himself and is clearly counting on a long-term defense of the western part of Soledar. The assault on Bakhmutsky continues, but the village has not yet been taken.
To the north of Soledar – battles near Belogorovka and Yakovlevka (not yet completely taken).
In the area of Seversk, as a whole, there are no changes – fighting at Serebryanka, Grigorovka, Verkhnekamensky, Ivano-Daryevka. The Seversk-Soledar highway is still under enemy control.
7.
Slavyansk.
Here tendencies to positionality triumph. In addition to a slight advance in the Bogorodichny area, the last days were marked by fighting near the ruins of Mazanovka. Attempts to counterattack the Armed Forces of Ukraine ended in heavy losses for them. Here the front has stabilized.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to strike at concentrations of troops in the Slavyansko-Kramatorsk agglomeration and at the communications of the Donbass group, the most striking evidence of which was the destruction of a train with reservists in the Chaplino area (more than 200 – “200”), whom the enemy tried to pass off as “civilians”.

Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation at 00-30 Moscow time on August 27, 2022 during the operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine especially for the Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok channel – part II (first part – link ):
8.
Raisins.
In the area of Kurulka and Bolshaya Kamyshevakhi – in general, no changes. The mutual activity of the DRG parties in the forests and the lack of forces on both sides keep the positional front unchanged, which was formed back in April-May. Attempts by the RF Armed Forces to achieve tactical success in the Gusarovka area and advance in the direction of Barvenkovo and the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway did not produce decisive results.
9.
Kharkov.
Fighting near the village of Udy in the direction of Zolochiv. The enemy reinforced this direction with reserves after the withdrawal last week. Fighting at Dementyevka, south of Borshcheva in the direction of Cherkassy Tishok. The enemy continues shelling the border settlements of the Russian Federation.
The RF Armed Forces carry out regular strikes on Kharkov, Chuguev, in the Zolochev area. Despite the recent tactical shifts in favor of the RF Armed Forces, positional tendencies dominate here.
10.
Zaporozhye.
On the line Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole-Velikaya Novoselovka – without significant changes. The activity of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the area of Gulyaipol and Velikaya Novoselovka, as well as the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Ravnopol, did not bring success to the parties.
The enemy is shelling Energodar and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant – Ukraine has actually disconnected itself from one of the main sources of generation. In response to the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the RF Armed Forces delivered strikes against targets in the area of Nikopol and Marganets. It is expected that the head of the IAEA will soon arrive at ZNPP, but much is not expected from this visit.
Preparations for a referendum on the annexation of the liberated territories to Russia have officially started in Zaporozhye, which forces the Zelensky gang to speed up terrorist attacks in order to disrupt the referendum. Nuclear blackmail around the ZNPP is also aimed at disrupting the referendum, which should ensure the irreversibility of Ukraine’s loss of new territories.
11.
Nikolaev.
After the defeat of the enemy in the battles for Blagodatnoye and the occupation of the settlement by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the enemy sat on the defensive. Our troops continue to probe the enemy defenses near the Kherson-Nikolaev highway, expand the control zone on the coast near Aleksandrovka in the direction of Golitsyno. Our troops have good tactical progress, but they should not be confused with a full-fledged attack on Nikolaev. There is also no attack on Kherson, it was actually thwarted by the RF Armed Forces in mid-August and now remains only in outdated propaganda clichés.
12.
Krivoy Rog.
The enemy continues unsuccessful attempts to gain a foothold on the bridgehead in the area of Belogorka and Andreevka, where he has already suffered heavy losses in people and equipment. The terrain here is not conducive to the offensive activity of the parties, and the RF Armed Forces, taking advantage of the advantage in artillery, regularly inflict serious losses on the enemy in manpower during attempts to attack by forces of reservists and Volkssturm. The front on the Ingulets River was never able to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the necessary foothold for an attack on Berislav. Similarly, repeated attempts at attacks in the Vysokopolye and Potemkino regions ended in failure. The front here is quite stable.
The enemy continues shelling bridges across the Dnieper. Arrivals on the Antonovsky bridge and the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station are regular. Despite numerous blows, the enemy has not yet been able to bring down the supports and spans, but he has done a lot of holes in the bridges. Missile strikes continue on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Kherson and Nova Kakhovka. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation regularly strike at Nikolaev and the rear of the Krivoy Rog grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
13.
Dzerzhinsk, Odessa, Sumy – no significant changes.
Almost everyday (actually really everyday) we hear about anti-Russian actions taken by Western states against Russia or Russians. I think they need to remember the Christmas song about Santa Claus and change it slightly.
“You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Russia is coming to town
They are making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Russia is coming to town”.
I wouldn’t doubt that the U.S. and all MSM could spin these tribunals as some kind of kangaroo court while spinning a dirty yarn of a story comparing it to Stalin’s trials during his purge. I guess we shall see.
So much chaotic comments although the big picture is pretty clear: there is huge energy crisis panic in collective west, and especially in Europe. Russia has very good cards on hand and slow Ze-Ukraine grinding going on. At this decisive moment Russia is winning the real war which was never war on Ukraine.
During last two weeks mental and spiritual atmosphere in Europe has changed pretty fast. The growing fear in now the number one news all over the “old” continent. Politicians have to to all their best (worst) to downplay the public panic and fear, even horror.
The problem I see in this conflict is that the right-wing capitalist imperialist traditional news media still has too much mind-controlling power in the brains of the masses, but people are waking up to the fact of how evil capitalist-imperialist anti-Russian governments are
Today I read a FB message from an Ukranian woman married with a Dutchman, who was begging for help. Many wounded soldiers from the UAF are being sent to EU hospitials & nursing-homes, where they are in dire need of translators and even more of buddies. The woman mentioned two young men who both had lost their legs. They have gone through of a true hell in the Donbass, but now they are facing another kind of hell: hellish boredom in the surroundings of Dutch hospitals and nursing-homes. The woman asks if someone (with knowledge of Ukranian language) wants to become a buddy for them.
After WWI the streets of Europe got flooded with a generation of young people who were mutilated by the war, having lost limbs, eyesight, or being shell-shocked. This tragedy is presently being repeated. The fact that Ukraine is sending its wounded abroad tells a lot about how sizeable the number of wounded on the Ukranian side is.
For understanding, here are approximate prices on the black market of transplantology:
♦️ Kidney up to $150,000;
♦️ Bone marrow $33,000 per gram;
♦️ Liver $250k or more;
♦️ Pancreas $70,000;
♦️ Lungs (pair) up to $200,000;
♦️ Cornea $350,000.
Now you understand that Ukrainian soldiers are great value for the West? Literally. And if to compare this with how many soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are listed as “missing” !!??
Kazakhstan double crossing Russia exporting arms to Ukraine, and lying about it. Contemptible & despicable ingrate
Anti-NATO Coalition [ZOV]
⚡️🇰🇿🇷🇺🇺🇦The Rybar team congratulates the Beregini hacker group with a powerful joint victory: Kazakhstan officially announced the suspension of military arms exports abroad until the end of 2023 after the scandal we created.
Thanks to our joint work, it was possible to prove that the Kazakhs were actively supplying weapons to Ukraine, supporting open aggression against their own CSTO ally.
The government of Kazakhstan had to announce a complete suspension of arms exports abroad to offset the consequences of the scandal.
Let us recall the chronology of our publications:
▪️The Beregini hacker group published information about shipments of APCs, ATGMs and ammunition from Kazakhstan through Jordanian intermediaries to Ukraine under an order from the UK. Technoexport was the contractor.
The Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan tried to deny this information, stating that the company “Technoexport” did not apply for any licenses. And no deliveries are out of the question.
▪️The Rybar team published a document directly confirming the lies of the Kazakh side. Technoexport has all the licenses for supplying unused or stored military equipment. And the licenses are fresh.
▪️The Rybar team found confirmation of how Kazakhstan’s Technoexport is supplying weapons to Ukraine through a Jordanian firm, Blue Water Supplies.
▪️The Beregini hacker group found out that Technoexport is not the only company involved. Through an allegedly Bulgarian firm owned by Ukrainians, an agreement was reached with Kazspetsexport on the purchase of Kazakh Su-27 aircraft, aircraft engines, and Mi-24 helicopters. According to the documents it was to be delivered to the USA, but in fact it was to end up in Ukraine.
As a result, the Kazakh side received a powerful kickback.
niestety, moje wpisy się nie pojawiają na tym Portalu, spróbuję ponownie. Nie piszę po angielsku, bo słabo znam ten język i nie mam ochoty poznać go lepiej. Uważam, że problem z Ukrainą nie jest problemem Ukraińców, a zwyczajną agresją kościoła katolickiego, chcącego przejąć na początek ziemie wschodnie zajęte przez hitlera w II.wojnie światowej. Cała akcja z drugą wojną światową to był watykański projekt. I choć on się im nie powiódł, to obecnie jest kontynuowany. Widać, że cerkiew prawosławna mająca wpływy na Ukrainie dogadała się z watykanem, stąd powszechna “pomoc” dla “uchodźców ukraińskich” wszędzie na świecie, szczególnie w krajach opanowanych przez kościół katolicki – jak np. Polska. Cerkiew prawosławna to nie jest monolit, składa się ona z różnych odłamów, z własnymi zarządami; coś jak “chrześcijaństwo” rozbite na “baptystów”, “protestantów” i tym podobnych. I tym sposobem każdy może sobie coś “znaleźć” dla siebie, jeżeli jakaś “religia” mu nie pasuje. Jednak zarządca jest jeden – choć być może składa się “on” z kilku osób trzymających ludzi w garści jednakowo bezwzględnie. Trzymaj się, Saker, bo to ważne móc mieć możliwość przeczytania czegoś innego niż w głównym ścieku informacyjnym.
Russia Today cites a report in the English Daily Express that British fighter planes are to be moved out of military airports and dispersed to a number of Civilian airports as a precautionary measure.
Is the UK going to declare war on Russia, or participate in an extreme provocation?
In any event it shows that the Nazis are in charge, hiding the military inside civilian infrastructure.
Any war between Russia and the UK will be extremely short.
This is going to get International attention. The Military Tribunals are to start in Mariupol.

It’d be nice if they could compel testimony from some of the well known biolab bosses from over here. . One just announced that he will retire soon, I believe.
Fauci – the boss of them all is trying to escape ship by retiring – he’s over 80 years old I believe but his job is so secure he can’t be fired. I assume that’s who you’re talking about
Megan Kelly has her claws on Fauci. She swear he will be brought to the tribunal if someone ask. https://twitter.com/i/status/1562610008231219200
Me thinks, Fauci, will end up as Jeffrey Epstein. At the end, someone has to pay the bill.

First of all, you’re marginally on topic, since the topic here is Ukraine, not Fauci.
Second, Fauci has nothing to do with biolabs in Ukraine, that’s a figment of your imagination. If there is any proof to that, show it. Your connection to the topic, Ukraine, is fake news, therefore, you’re off topic.
Third, Megan Kelly is a full time idiot, all looks no brain, a presstitute. She cannot be a point of reference for anything serious, she’s just another Fox Mooooos blondy pushing banal trite to the brainwashed masses, she has nothing to do with reality.
You may all be Fauci haters, which lead you to point your guns in the wrong direction.
Fauci is ready to go home and take a break from all the crap he had to endure for decades, a living example that science and politics are a witches’ brew that shouldn’t mix.
Lone Wolf
Daszak has said he has roots in the Ukraine, but I do not know if he has ever been there.
I would guess that the Ukraine biowarriors’ names have not been public knowledge.
And yeah, Fauci is off-topic. Apologies.
You tell them they are off-topic, and then proceed to talk about everything they mentioned.
Fauci is a scumbag, and he most definitely has links to the Ukrainian labs. He inextricably linked to the lab in China where the disease allegedly (ALLEGEDLY) emerged from.
The man is every bit a globalist and a servant of the evil one. He’s Anthony Blinken in a lab coat.
@ Korrin on August 26, 2022 · at 2:46 am EST/EDT
“…Fauci is a scumbag, and he most definitely has links to the Ukrainian labs…”
Where is your evidence? That’s what I asked for, not your fake news, which is distracting us from the Open Threat subject, Ukraine, as stated by the Saker.
Show some evidence, don’t post more fake news. We don’t need them.
Lone Wolf
Then please spend a bit of your angry energy to study the work of the Corona Ausschuss led by Dr Reiner Fullmich, lawyer in the US and Germany. He and his organization have collected more than enough proof to be able to have every single responsible of government, Big Pharma, the medical world and the bio labs trialed and send to prison for a very long time.
The only and worst problem that remains is to find judges who are not corrupted by the system and who have at least half a decent brain.
You want proof against Fauci, they have truckloads full. https://corona-ausschuss.de/
Enjoy!
Hi Wolf!
I am not of any of your political tribes since I´m Eurotrash but you going overly emotional over stuff will not help things for anyone. Time to smell the flowers and remember, words are Not violence.
Okay, lets get back to the topic, mod.
totally – thanks Korrin and he’s wrong too.- the labs are in the Ukraine. Just because Fauci has connections in Ukraine doesn’t make it off topic – and he does have connections in Ukraine. He’s the guy that gets the money for the funding. And distributes it.
Fauci is a grifter. He won’t face real justice. If push came to shove he could fake his death, and retire on the southern French coast. He has the coin from years of doling out AIDS money.
@Lone Wolf. Thank you for talking sense. This blog is enjoyable to read because reasoned high level discourse is the standard. As an American I’m glad fellow Westerners are exposed to these types of blogs. Still they are mired in senseless partisan narratives removed from reality and context. I have enjoyed reading your comments. To return to topic I’ve been personally waiting for these trials. I have high hopes that damming indisputable evidence will be presented that facilitates the fall of western narratives.
Sad to see so much disability to connect the dots.
Ukraine: We are talking about Russia is about to set up tribunals where war criminals will be prosecuted.
Here among US/UK bio-weapon laboratories used to spread virus/deceases, not only inside Ukraine but also among the Russian speaking separatist areas.
Kremlin has now confirmed that our known not to be named laboratory virus has been elaborated in these Pentagon bio-weapon laboratories in Ukraine.
We know Fauci funded the research in Wuhan and has been involved in the not to be named virus and its comprehensive global business model which set back the economic conditions for billions of people.
Thus the international unlawful chemical/biological research in Ukraine could very well be part of the tribunals set up by Russia or Donbass itself.
Personally I dont hate Fauci, Gates or anyone until their case has been duly processes with a factual legal conclusion. I dont label people like Megan Kelly personally, but take each of her statements for their value and in this case she is on the right side of history. Off course Fauci must face tribunal/congress is he is ordered to do so.
Conclusion: 30 bio-weapon laboratories and Fauci and Russian organised hearings/tribunals have a lot to do with Ukraine and its related geo-political avalanches we are exposed to at the moment.
Thanks for the link.
No way can the msm ignore the upcoming tribunals of all the war criminals, the truth about the atrocities which they committed, and the people who commanded them ,will all come out.
I’m surprised to see Sky news in Australia beginning to question the official Goebbels inspired narrative about Zelensky/Ukraine and they will take great interest in what emerges at the trials, others will follow suit, hopefully.
The evidence presented about the 46 bio labs in Ukraine is truly shocking, but not unexpected.
No, the msm can and will ignore the tribunals. But the information will be produced, it will implicate others, some of it will find its way into the UN and from there into the general consciousness of the global south elites. It will likewise lay the groundwork for what the Russians have planned for the Ukrainian leadership should they ever get their hands on them.
I wonder if the US/NATO/Ukraine are getting some long-range missiles ready for Mariupol? They already hit a prison with Azov members awaiting trial.
Guessing that will depend on the nationalities sitting at court. I’m guessing it will include, Chinese and Indian reps.
Unfriendly countries and the UN which is now controlled by them will bury their collective heads and ignore the Trials. Russia knows this for a fact. All the details are and will be carefully shared with the friendly countries, essentials and future actions based on this enormous information will be discussed in detail in multiple forums such as BRICS+, SCO, EAEU, CSTO, BRI, Secure phone calls etc. and decisions will be made to ditch the UN if it doesn’t gets its act together to follow the “UN charter”. If the UN continues its subverted “Rules based order”, a decision will be made to form a “New UN” of the friendly countries. This may take several years to decades but the world has irreversibly changed on Feb 24, 2022. During the ensuing years, Population and GDP of friendly countries will overshadow the neocolonial countries. The only danger meanwhile will be the risk of all out Nuclear War. There is going back to the old ways.
Correction: There is NO going back……
I can’t wait for all the evidnce to come out,and there will be a lot of it including all the crimes in Donbass,i believe the Court will have the names of all the high command who gave the orders and other officials.
@Glover-Whether the msm put a total block on coverage of the tribunals remains to be seen, but there are millions of virtue signalling Ukraine profile picture idiots out there who will find alternative sources to view the proceedings, I look forward to seeing their reaction !.
Those Ukraine/Rainbow flag waving idiots will have to sit and squirm while Nazi after Nazi is wheeled out in front of the courtroom to answer for their crimes, it’s going to be very difficult to ignore the abundance of Nazi tattoo’s on the defendants, or the crimes they have committed.
The propaganda wing of the west have already labelled the tribunals as ‘sham trials’ and ‘Kangaroo courts’ etc with forced confessions used as statements of guilt, we all know this is not true, and I’m sure that the evidence has been thoroughly researched and examined by the DPR authorities to leave the audience in no doubt as to the defendants guilt.
This is way too big a deal to be ignored.
“….there are millions of virtue signalling Ukraine profile picture idiots out there who will find alternative sources to view the proceedings, I look forward to seeing their reaction”
So do I. Let’s hope it’s a wake up call for the pro-ukronazi’s
@Pavlos Xp: “No way can the msm ignore the upcoming tribunals”.
Is that the same MSM that ignored Hunter Biden’s laptop ? That ignores unexplained deaths related to a certain vaccine ? That ignores Julian Assange’s predicament ?
No, the MSM are the establishment’s PR tool and they will ignore anything and everything that isn’t part of the official agenda.
If you ever wondered about the UN, this should set you straight:
Ukraine prisoner of war trials in Mariupol could be a war crime: OHCHR
https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125222
UN is concerned it happen “without access to fully independent monitors” from “the free and civilised world”.
The same old song again again.
The indiscriminate bombing of Donetsk, Luhansk and it’s citizens since 2014, outside of a war declaration, is a crime against humanity. As are the atrocities committed in Odessa at that time, concerning the burning of 39 Pro Russian civilian protesters in the Union building, May 5, 2014.
The UN spokesperson needs to find a new job, in a different line of work.
Not sure why you use the Nazi “pro-Russian” label on the Odessa victims.
The people murdered were, at most, anti-governement, more precisely anti-coup. Nothing “Pro-Russian” about those people. Nothing.
The whole “pro-Russian” narrative is a pure insult to those who cannot defend themselves. VERY FEW people in Ukraine were “pro-Russian” as imn supporting the Russian postion of the time.
Most (think 99%) protesters against Maidan Gov were – at most – Ukrainians with a Russian nationality. These people were, foremost pro-Ukraine.
There was very little “Pro-Russian” thinking until after Ukraine declared their own citizes terrorists. And even then, most were just thankfull for the Russian help, nothing more.
Prove any of that?
I saw tears of joy from plenty Ukrainians in many cities/towns/villages upon liberation, not to mention the 3-4 million who packed everything and fled to Russia.
user is right. You are describing Ukrainians whose government was couped by American Jews, and who endured eight years of Ukrainian anti-Ukrainian terrorism. Little wonder they changed their minds about living in what remains of their country.
No, user isn’t. Your paraphrase is not correct, and your point is entirely different.
No one’s insulting the innocent victims of that massacre in Odessa by calling them pro-Russian. That’s an absurd point. As is suggesting what position they were or weren’t protesting. Which doesn’t diminish the atrocity of what happened to them either.
That the “nazis” were responsible for this atrocity and will still face prosecution for it, is not an insult to the memory of innocent victims,’ but a guarantee made by the Russians. Whether it will be realized in Odessa, or in Donbas.
There is no more noble a cause being “pro-Russian,” then or now.
I hope the scum who organised that in Odessa are on the indictment list.
@The Punisher
WE need to remember that the Sec-General’s Office has been appropriated by the US State Department
Even his spokesperson Stephan Dujarric is from State
The UN had stopped being an unbiased umpire of international affairs a long while ago
Uncle Davy, I greatly admire your comments; but one has to wonder if the UN were ever a genuinely unbiased umpire.
True that, and some proof of that does exist. Here’s one link amongst many detailing corruption within it’s ranks. Another source claims only a small portion of funding for global recovery projects (<10%) ever reached it's intended target since it's inception in 1945.
Stories of greed and mismanagement are commonplace at the globalist United Nations. One example:
"…. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) cleared itself of suspicions the organization had misused U.S.$ 1.2 billion in donor funds across the Middle East in the space of one year. …"
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/02/report-u-n-climate-projects-swamped-with-fraud-corruption-allegations/
Seems like the Russians have plans to try to return the UN to a proper function as a body of independent nations pursuing national interests under the rule of law and being bound by the principles stated in the UN charter
Don’t see the Depraved West going down that road willingly, not as long as the current crop of psychopaths dominate the West’s political economy. But maybe they will not have a choice.
Russel “Texas” Bentley volunteered to fight in Ukraine……. for the “wrong” side. He cannot return to the US since he woulf face prosecution for breaking ZUS law. Most countries have laws barring citizens from participating in foreign conflicts which are selectively enforced. Those who fought for the Kiev regime will be ignored. Mr. Bentley be prosecuted. Hypocrisy writ large.
Honestly, how about africom? That’s a well known American financed supervised and run mercenary and criminally corrupt africom pogroms? That’s seems quite acceptable to the American political class.. Or what about academy, Academy, another American sponsored butchery department.
The pedophile junkie and organiser ….Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian i.e. 46 plants of chemical and biological weapons establishments, though against international law…… isn’t a crime in America, or its political and voiced, excuse…. plausible deniability.
But the denial when the proof is obvious and available to any UN committee …… deserves punishment by humanity of those responsible. They fool no one!
I doubt Texas would ever want to go back.
@BlackCloud The OHCHR can pontificate all it likes. The legal precedent has been set.
From the POV of international jurisprudence the Nuremberg Trials are seen as A Victors’ Justice
The RF will proceed with trials (& convictions) not just to bring justice but also for no better reason than to serve as an example to the pipsqueaks of Europe (I’m looking at you Estonia) if they start getting any ideas.
And now that terrorist attacks have been committed on Russian soil (the assassination of Darya Dugina) the RF needs to make it state policy that it will conduct a policy of Hot Pursuit (as Israel does) if any terrorist attack is committed and the assailant/s flee to other European countries.
And this needs to be communicated to each of governments of the US/Nato vassals
Thanks for that link. Proof that the UN is another vassal of USUKEU+NATO That idiot General Secretary the Champagne socialist Guitterez is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle
The hunt continues. Been waiting on this one for a long time. These are the scum who released videos of themselves defiling their prisoners, since redacted.
I knew Russian Intel would find them. Godspeed!

They were really so brazen – thanks for the evidence guys.
Amazing how cognitive dissonance leads to the gallows!
Yes i hope some of the evidence is such recorded on phones,there was another terrible crime where a Russian POW had his face and eyes stabbed with a bayonet,i believe they have that animals name think he was from the Kraken/Dirlwanger gang of psychos,i believe it was in Kharkiv.they deserve to dance on a rope.
In open thread I can confirm Ukraine is really open threat :)
A threat in time saves 9?
To paraphrase grandma.
Right on cue the USA mainstream media is spinning Vladimir Putin’s approval to increase the size of the Russian army as “Putin’s Ukraine disaster” :
https://www.usnews.com/news/world-report/articles/2022-08-25/putin-orders-russian-army-to-increase-size-amid-mounting-death-toll-in-ukraine
What I’m curious to know: will these recruits go through Chechen training?
It saddens me that people will believe that shit. Logically Russia has no requirement to increase the size of its armed forces to replace casualties. It just increases recruitment.
And your expertise in force planning was from where again?
please remind us why you think you know better than the Russian General Staff :-)
I think Simon C was:
*condemning the Western “sheeple” that trust Western media
*dismissing Western narratives about mass Russian casualties as false
*recognising Russian casualty numbers as minimal and (relatively) easy to replace via normal recruitment
Maybe we should not be too hard on Simon C just yet.
Thanks Dick, spot on. Although 20 years service, including 2 years with a Brigade staff, several operational tours and 2 years with ACDS (OR) Land gives me some perspective :-)
Andrei, fret not. I am thoroughly on your side. I am confused as to how you could read my comment otherwise.
NY Times had a similar headline about Russian “troop deficits.”
About as likely as a Russian “oil shortage.” The US Pres is evil and worthless.
I was more impressed by a telegram notice about volunteers families getting the same survivor’s benefits as regular Russian Army personnel.
Russia + allies + wagner + various have: +- 75-80k casualties, mainly wounded 2/3, vast
majority are DPR/LPR (they don’t even hide it), wagner 2/3.000 KIA WIA.
Most probably +- 6/7500 KIA MIA (including pow) for RU only. It was already 3.850 last
time Peskov talked about it(end march).
Ukies(without nazis, mercenaries, nato people): +- 500-520k according to a BND source,
supposely secret but massively Rted on SM.Far bigger proportion of KIA MIA versus WIA
for ukie than for RU + allies (at least 10/12 times more due to RU artillery). And 13/16.000
POW.
: source McGregor who is absolutely not pro ukies, S Ritter gives a lesser nr, but still enormous).
please provide a link to the source for these numbers.
Wait, they come from two US officers, including one full of shit (Ritter)?
Ah, okay.
Must be true then :-)
They do not.
Artillery war has well known numbers.
The UAF are dangerous, battle hardened (8 years fortifications), and RF deals with that, the best way – sheer firepower, as Ritter clearly shows.
Saker, why do you have such disdain for Scott Ritter? I don’t always agree with him, especially when a couple months ago when he seemed to go “Chicken Little” because the NATO countries were supplying the Ukraine with artillery. But usually Ritter seems to be fairly knowledgeable and not at all a supporter of Zelensky. You know a lot more than I do. What am I missing here?
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/08/ukraine-game-changing-policy-moves-that-aint.html#more
Well, my question for a link on Saker’s issue with Ritter never not posted. If he’s marginalized for the reason I suspect, I think Saker can do better than that.
Yes, he passed on bad info about Lira’s alleged death. We all should be given grace for mistakes. But Lira really escalated it by calling Ritter a paid shill. That was uncalled for. And that ruined the relationship and God knows Zone B has enough enemies without being pricks to our own.
If Lira or Saker can show me something else that ruins Ritter’s credibility, I’m all ears. Otherwise, the silence here only lessens the credibility in the other direction.
General Milley, who is privy to all such information, said that the casualties were high on both sides, that there was “a lot of violence” and gave and gave a measurement of how much firepower was being unleashed in – Donetsk. I know him as sounding foolish, but sounding foolish and being a liar are two entirely different things. If anything, he was too candid and bold against pres. Trump himself (never saw anything like it, he made McCarthur’s ‘rebellions’ after WWII look like not much after him). There is no reason to disbelieve him. The silence of the other side, Russia, counts (grants the fact). Indeed, Peskov once admitted that Russian casualties were, but that was before so many weapons arrived for Ukraine. The many missiles launched by Ukraine are not aimed at anything but soldiers. Russia stopped mentioning only civilian targets as being hit by them, as it was doing initially (poorly, implausibly, obviously affected by the turn of events). It once reported on casualties, and then stopped doing that. At a great cost. Russia has already expanded its borders by the 20% gained at Ukraine’s expense. I guess they might end up with 30%. Russia gives signs, with its all-over-the-place messaging (which goes from saving itself to saving humanity, with all that’s in-between too), that it is willing not to try to take it all. It wants to end the war. They don’t speak about “denazification” anymore, right? Arguably, Ukraine right now is more militarized than before. Both reasons struck one as misguided from the beginning, and they are turning out to be that. It’s going to be what it is now – a war for land and a weak Ukraine by virtue of losing so much land. If you want to say that’s “demilitarization” and “denazification”, okay – but I don’t even know when was the last time Russian leaders (or Putin) used those exact words.
Of course, demilitarization and denazification are the reasons for an “SMO” (“special military operation”) and this designation assumes, implies a war that is not a long one, with both the designation and its reasons suffering as to their tenability – sense – the longer the war drags on. If it had been called “war” as it is, denazification and demilitarization would not be the war reasons given for it; instead, the reasons for the war would likely be “genocide” and/or “enemy of Russia.” This is why Russia, in reaction to the bad news that came from a level of difficulty beyond what was expected, wants to end the war now in a negotiation with them, admitting (tacitly) that this is “war” indeed, and says much less about ‘demilitarization’, which it can continue to talk about comfortably since it has some connection to a war reason anyway, and practically nothing now about “denazification” (this term illustrates the wrong expectations and calculations held before the war, the vain words used when you are confident that you will win in a short war).
Do you realize that if this were true war cities like Charkov, Kiev, Odessa, etc. would be heavily bombed already in the first day? If this were true war no one on the Russian side would care about victims. Victims would be counted in millions.
That’s true war, and this is true war also…England did not need or didn’t have to bomb the German cities (civilians) like it did in WWII. A German veteran of that war said that this “terror” did not work, that people just get tougher when faced with terrorism (which is what aiming at civilians is – it’s not even legal), and that it was the bombing of industrial-arms installations, the factories, which was effective. “If this were true war…” Russia happens to be winning albeit at a heavier cost than expected. If it were losing, or about to lose…I don’t know what they might not do then, but they bombed Mariupol city and it is in ruins today, right? I think most civilians had left already. Odessa is rumored to be an objective. It will probably end up like Mariupol too, if there’s a fight for it.
I think political reasons and objectives made them call it “SMO.” They deny that it’s war, that it’s invasion, and banned those words to begin with. People of the world have obvious opinions about what such denials and definition changes represent. Come to think of it, they also say that “it doesn’t exist” (or that “Ukraine” does not exist) but only through the “SMO”, not in plain words.
It’s not true war, as strange as it sounds.
For Russia there is no problem to “kalibrate” any aim at the Ukrainian territory. But they still save many of them. Why Zaporozhye NPP is still delivering electricity to Uktrainians and – at all – why power grid and telecommunication are still working? Why pipelines are still unharmed? Why Kiev with Zelensky’s headquarter is still intact? Why the Russians didn’t wreck main roads, especially in the western parts of Ukraine? Why they do not fire plants? Why they don’t heavily bomb in advance any resistance point?
Because Russians treat Ukrainians as common nationality and won’t harm civilians.
We understand why, for many reasons that are similar. Again, they are winning and it makes sense. If they were losing, you don’t know if it would be this way. The Western Ukrainians do not seem to appreciate your point, right? I am sure there are some who do. It’s similar to how it was until about three centuries ago. Typically, civilians were not aimed at. The armies met somewhere and fought. It is ready to kill the last Ukrainian soldier, and that’s war, not an SMO!
Like I said, the longer it lasts, and the stronger the determination of Ukrainians not to give in, the SMO designation loses its ‘shine’ (having been based on wrong expectations too) and eventually they could end up regretting the name because at that point they will look like maulers and gangsters (made to look like that by the SMO!), and not like soldiers or warriors or combatants, as is the privilege that separates the soldierly from other types but which comes only from “war”, and certainly not from something which you yourself deny is “a war.” So, it must follow, be deduced then that Russia, especially the Russian “services” that evaluate and report, didn’t know Ukraine enough. Now, if Russia anticipated that the SMO would be like this six months after its start, then my opinion(s) is wrong. I think an easier war was expected and things like the SMO designation were contingent on it; for this reason, neither “demilitarization” nor “denazification” can compensate Russia now for the costs incurred. Only the land gained can do that (but that’s ‘war’ too),
Russia does have robust experience in long lasting military operation. Everyone, who remembers Syria 2016 should not be surprised about “slow” moves of Russian & DPR & LPR soldiers. Here is the same problem and goal: separate civilians from enemy minimising losses. Because of that I’m deeply convinced Russia from the beginning taken into account such “lazy” scenario. One thing Russians could underestimate is degree and influence of SBU terror, literally paralysing Ukrainian inhabitants.
tranquilocomp: “They don’t speak about “denazification” anymore, right?” WRONG! The link below gives a rather credible reason as to why Russia’s SMO will go on to realize its two-prong goal…
https://www.stalkerzone.org/russias-military-operation-in-ukraine-goals-tactics-and-strategy-including-potential-ones/
Are you kidding, April? I went to the link expecting to see something from the Russians on that and it’s only a website article. You’re sort of proving my point. Let me see a recent quote from Medvedev or Putin or Lavrov…there should be at least something on it, but, if my point was correct, there should be very, very little if anything at all.
They’ll also start saying “SMO” much less, if they have not started already, for the same reason that it’s offside or off-base the longer it lasts. Let’s remember that it’s an SMO as opposed to a “war”, that it forbid the “war” description for it.
Tranquilocomp: It is premature and jumping to the wrong conclusion about the end of the SMO. The fact that it is not declared and outright war allows Russia to go beyond the confines of the Ukraine. It is not locked into a hit, smash, done deal as was the case w/USA’s many illegal wars. Any devts that evolved during the SMO in the Ukraine must fit into its goals of denazification and demilitarization. SMO would end if Elensky and team agree to the terms of cessation. But we know from past dealings w/him and gang, as admitted by Poroshenko, they are reaching for the foolish and impossible delusion of emptying out all Russian speaking Ukrainians there. Don’t forget the US’s pipe dream of taking down Russia – at all costs even to the last Ukrainian. What do Elensky and team’s continued efforts in shelling more aggressively at civilian areas and the ZPP tell us – they do not consider themselves Ukrainians any more! So the SMO is far from its goals there.
Another reason the analysis of the Stalker Zone article is spot on, if the above take is taken into consideration and accurate, the SMO necesarily have to unfold in other ways as well – to get to those who arm, enable, and direct the attacks in eastern Ukraine and Belgorod, and the car bomb deaths of several significant Russians and pro-Russians to prolong the fight w/an eye to weaken, bankrupt, and ‘conquer’ the RF. Now it seems that the US is intends to get directly involved by sending a military commander to lead the Ukrainians. US is notorious for its intransigence and lawlessness (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.) – there is no fear of God! Has the effectiveness of the SMO driven the US to desperation that it is ready to wage an open war w/the RF despite the knowledge that it cannot win against Russia? I think so! So the issue is not that the SMO will scale down/back. The real question is what does the US has up its sleeves? I don’t believe there is any aces left in their tool kit, but they have the ducks lined up in E. Europe, and traitorous opportunistsw in and w/o the RF, who may be roped in to do damage that can be substantial and devastating for the RF and those who rely on Putin’s team to bring about peace, and life can flourish. If the tactic is to prolong the fight and entrench Russia in Ukraine the danger is that the longer the SMO stretches the surprises and unintended devts may arise. The Chinese has a saying “夜长梦多” which literally means that the longer the night the more dreams (or nightmares) there are.
Btw, Lavrov has spoken to the effect about the SMO doing more than the two-prong goals in the Ukraine to encompass doing away w/the unipolarity under the abusive & monolithic hegemon. That’s as clearly spelt out as is wise by the inestimable diplomat of our day! It is the counter force (Judo and taichi) of Putin and team to redierect whatever the US, NATO & EU countries throw its way – politically and economically unintended by them but foreseen by the multi-dimensional thinkers, strategists, and tacticians of agonizingly longsuffering RF.
I don’t think Stalker Zone is right. It’s not impossible, but I don’t think it tries to understand the Russian leadership itself, Putin in particular. Their point also is not fully logical – named it SMO because it could be more extensive than a war, or to extend itself beyond Ukraine? No, to the contrary, it is more logical to say that it was because it was supposed to be smaller than this…so I think he’s sort of a conservative and a minimalist in war. I cannot prove a personal sense, but it’s wrong if one has “a dog in the fight” or a personal preference (I don’t). I’m also following his own speeches. SZ is not doing that and is being imaginative.
Tranquilocomp: SZ is not implying that “SMO…could be more extensive then a war…” It is about reaching the two aims of the SMO. While you are saying that the SMO is not much mentioned now to imply that it is over. That contradicts the aims of the SMO. Has Russia realized the denazifization and demilitarization of Ukraine? Obviously that is not the case yet. So the SMO is far from over. The unintended but foreseeable (by the RF) re the SMO and Ukrainian/ Us/ NATO/ EU intransigence is that the repercussion for them is the effective defanging of the hegemon and its deathlike grip over much of the world since the disintegration of the USSR that is so horrendous for the world.
Another point that argues strongly that the SMOcan be extensive is that it has, ought to have, contingency plan(s) for the long haul if necessary precisely bc it took RF eight long years of planning before it was ready or forced to act and intervene. Intel of an imminent onslaught on eastern Ukraine and RF in Mar 2022, as well as the ‘evidence’ of biological weapons research facilities in Ukr, outrageous & illegal sanctions, & threats to cut RF out of SWIFT, etc, all mean only one thing – intentio/ preparations to take down RF is clearly unfolding. The SMO is a carefully orchestrated attack against the ukronazis, Banderites, Azov Battalion et al, is bc Ukr was a part of the USSR. The war may well come at the end or even sooner if the insanity, idiocy, & inhumanity toward the eastern Ukrainians & Russians continues or escalates. Then it is the RF vs the west, and collateral damage would not hold back the former. Right now it is still not too late to negotiate a truce, and common sense or circumstantial reality mandate it. But the two conditions remain non-negotiable. The call is really not in the RF’s court.
The ‘West’ is the ‘Empire of Lies’. Its MSM cannot but lie. It came from its father, the devil who ”When he lies, he speaks from what he is, for he is a liar and the father of it”. Moreover, it applies the technique of the ‘Big Lie’ (which is not the invention of Goebbels, but of the British/American ‘Lügenpresse’).
The Synagogue of Satan is ensconced comfortably throughout elite positions in the West, which now makes lying for the entire society as easy as breathing.

@ bonbon on August 25, 2022 · at 7:20 pm EST/EDT
Thanks for the news, and the link, bonbon.
It was about time.
Guess the SMO woke up the Russian leadership from their slumber, made them realize the enemy is bigger than they thought, time to get up and ready for a confrontation that will make WWII look like a walk in the park.
Not that they were asleep.
The last two decades have prepared Russia for the ongoing conflict, however, the underbelly is still a weak point for Russia, and the Collective West is poking at the bear from the stans constantly. The multi-vectorial policies of some of them, are aimed at eroding their links to Russia/China. Corrupt leaderships looking to make billions while in power, are always ready to jump ship and play the game.
SCO/CSTO et al are part of the Russian defense in the periphery, the backbone, the Russian army, needs to be strengthened and be able to sustain a conflict in many fronts.
Great catch.
Lone Wolf
“time to get up and ready for a confrontation that will make WWII look like a walk in the park.” “…prepared Russia for the ongoing conflict…”
They are strengthening their military forces – period! Surely, their goal must be to avoid the conflict you state. Some ‘spectators’ may want the ongoing to grow into that. Russia, being the largest and richest nation in natural resources, is still too underdeveloped, so it needs peace to develop that economic potential. That’s where the ball is (for Russia).
It’s a means to incorporate the militias and national guard troops already fighting. It’s means to give those soldiers Russian army benefits. It isn’t to increase the standing army by that many new recruits.
I’m to the point of it doesnt matter how many bad spins are spun, but who are the worst offenders, what type of person is the worst of the reporting offenders?
And I found a top brass type, it looks like a rockum-sockum robot, but its really a person. The personality that built the robot look, also has a cunning evil present that knows not only what it is doing, but why it is doing it.
Now I’ve had experience w/these types, and they are short lived, but good recruiters, only time can whittle their #’s.
This has nothing to do with regular army recruits into the Russian Army. This is all about paying the 140,000 volunteers who are fighting with the Russian Army, paying for medical attention, recuperation from wounds, etc. It is an administrative move to balance the military budget looking at projected expenses.
It is not about “new recruits”, but volunteers already fighting in Ukraine for months and being paid out of other accounts.
@Dick Lenning
~8% more troops will be backed by ~8% more population – some 5 former Ukrainian oblasts joining Russia
As others stated, it seems plausible this decree signed by President Putin provides a legal framework to integrate the Donbass militias into the Russian military. Then again, with President Putin enjoying 80%+ support it is very possible there has been a surge in Russian patriotism, and thus a surge in volunteers.
Finally, for those who know Russia very well, is there a Russian equivalent of the French foreign legion, where foreigners (i.e. those that survive) can gain citizenship through military service?
In another forum someone recently published a picture of smoke rising from somewhere, and talked about the NPP at Energodar being damaged. Another forum talked of electricity grid outages in Zaporozhye Oblast.
Can that place be protected from the individuals trying to damage it??
I saw one like that, but it was fake. The picture was of smoke rising from Crimea, while the text and headline were about the nuke power plant.
I wanted to post a photo of Ukraine’s destruction of the Donbass, but I couldn’t find one. Russia is being blamed for all the damage.
There is a coal fired thermal power station next to NPS-Z. Bigbigsmoke stack. Pic is real, implication false.
This nuclear power station game that is been played can easily be delt with by the Russians if they are the innocent party.
Take out a coal power station every time the Ukrainians shell.
The Ukrainians will soon give up because energy is now the number one weapon in Ukraine…if winter is to be survived.
The problem with that is the Russians are trying to build the Ukraine into a friendly neighbor, like Belarus, or at least a neutral one. They are not trying to exterminate Ukrainians. They are not trying to bomb it into the stone age like Obama did Libya. Destroying infrastructure is something NATO does — it was only after months of delay that Russians took out traction stations for Ukrainian electric railroads.
I was just wondering if there isn’t a somewhat selective way to take out the attackers.
Yes, and Zelensky/NATO have used Russia’s humanitarianism against them to the max, unlike Bush & Obama who sleep soundly despite killing tens, nae, hundreds of thousands.
Taking out the attacker might be a job for some kind of policing operation, as opposed to military operation.
By this I mean investigation and identification of individuals, rather than trying to bomb cells of such attackers.
Once an occupation/military administration is in place.
One would think (and hope) that RF does have covert hunter killer teams working in Ukrainian enemy territory taking out influential personnel.
We just cannot tolerate anything happening to a nuclear power plant, there is no winners so whoever is shelling the place must be delt with severely and those giving the orders must be warned off.
This will also have consequences in the …EU, yes as they sell electricity surplus to some EU countries.
In France half of civil nuke facilities are out of service.I know Russia sells uranium to Macron, could it be that Russia stopped delevering? No word from Macron or ‘maintenance’…a bit like the ‘NS1 fake maintenance’…
What do you think France is doing in Mali, Africa?
Withdrawing, as are the Germans.
France imports most of its uranium fron Niger, not Mali.They are now out of Mali, where they were expelled by Wagner.
Maintenance is real – business as usual. Politics clogs up the pipes!
France has corrosion problems, and cannot cool some because of the drought, so buys German energy.
Germany could open NS2, brand new, different turbines, NS1 will be closed for maintenance Aug 30 for 3 days.
Now Canada says 5 turbines are not there, after saying they will be sent back.
Meanwhile Germany failed to get Canadian LNG, maybe that’s also noise.
How can an engineer do his job in this circus? He will be blamed if the machines buckle of course!
When I see Mali I hear uranium. In parallel there was a jihad problem caused by Obama’s bombing of Libya, which France joined, even after Libya had promised to buy French nuclear reactors! France lost that and the AUKUS sub deal – AU gets US nuclear powered subs, even after France had modified their offer to diesel!
France is loosing every which way! Now a major Sahel campaign is in the offing.
Can’t wait for the liberation of Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk!
With NATO (nazi Atlantic terrorist organisation) becoming more overtly belligerent and toxic, it is only prudent to recruit and train more brave souls to oppose its evil.
Whatever can be done to resist the Empire of Lies, should and must be done.
you mean Nazi American Terrorist Organization
Taking from a USA news article:
During my tenure with the Department of State’s Office of Counterterrorism (now known as the Bureau of Counter Terrorism), these warnings would only be sent out if we thought we had solid intelligence. And the Department of State, by virtue of being a sclerotic bureaucracy, would lag two or three days behind the date the intelligence info became available. In other words, if Embassy Kiev is putting out this warning on Tuesday morning then the the intelligence behind the alert emerged the previous Thursday or Friday.
The Kiev Embassy alert appears to be quite specific and certainly is urgent in its tone. Get out now. Reminds me of the scene from the movie GET OUT (Go to the 1:30 mark to see the relevant dialogue):
The Embassy made it clear that this was not a suggestion or even a recommendation. Russia was going to do something bad in Kiev and Lviv and other Ukrainian towns and Americans would be at risk. Run for your lives.
When I saw that alert I reached out to some friends still in the intel community. They are always careful to not violated their non-disclosure agreement, but I can get an idea of how serious the intel is concerning the threat motivating this reaction by State Department. My friends were scratching their heads. They had no idea what motivated this. There was no new intelligence signalling an impending monster air attack by Russia.
But it was not just State raising the red flag. The Ukrainian government, with Zelensky in the lead, were out in force of warning about impending doom. They cancelled all 24 August Ukrainian independence day celebrations and parades. They appeared spooked.
So what was up? Did western intelligence intercept valid Russian communications about a planned attack? Did the public warnings about Russian attacks persuade Moscow to call off the aerial assault? Was Russia deliberately leaking information in order to gauge western and Ukraine reactions? Or is the attack still to come and Russia is just biding its time watching gleefully as the west and Ukraine run about frantically waiting for the bombs to drop?
To reiterate a point I raised in my previous article–if Russia launches massive strikes on Kiev, Lviv, Kharkov, Odesa and Sumy this week, this will mark a watershed moment. It is a departure from Russia’s current rules of engagement to limit civilian casualties. There is little doubt among Russian experts that Ukraine’s bombing of civilian areas in the Donbas, the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and the murder of Darina Dugina have enraged Moscow. Think of Churchill’s reaction to the first Nazi bombing (a mistake by the way) of civilian areas in London in September 1940–he ordered retaliatory strikes on Berlin. Perhaps Moscow may take off the gloves and start hitting Ukraine and the west in their command and government centers.
My own guess is that the west is reacting to a Russian deception campaign. Why would the Russians do that? Watching the ensuring activity at various locations would give Russia a better idea of what to target in the future, for example. Or, it could divert the attention of Ukrainian military authorities from other areas in southern Ukraine where Russia appears to be stepping up operations.
One other peripherally related topic–the western propaganda campaign is roaring a full blast and Moon of Alabama offers up a terrific article detailing the craziness. Make sure you read it. Also, Andrei Martyanov offers a very credible explanation for the pace of the Russian offensive. Another must read.
“Think of Churchill’s reaction to the first Nazi bombing (a mistake by the way) of civilian areas in London in September 1940–he ordered retaliatory strikes on Berlin.”
That is not factual. Churchill bombed German cities for many weeks, months before Germany decided to reciprocate. Churchill’s secretary in his memoirs recalls the syphllitic Rothschild puppet ranting to the sky one evening, while drunk during British bombing of German civilians, “Why won’t they come?”.
True
Here is book few have seen of Germany’s experience.
FDR, Churchill moves for war and Stalin’s massive military buildup.
Germany’s War – John Wear
And let us recall that it was Churchill’s government that declared war on Germany and actually started the war.
G2mil has anew video on the FDR plan to do a surprise attack on Japan, prior to & Dec 1941. There’s an XO and all.

Packing up and running away. That’s when we know we won.
Looks like Larry Johnson’s piece verbatim
“Make sure you read it.”
Funny you should say that. Do you happen to have a title or a link?
Or Russian counterintelligence gave a juicy bit to someone high up who was under serious suspicion for leaking secrets. The reaction proves he or she was the mole and then, wait until the excitement dies down a bit, and make the military move intended. I’m guessing September 1 as a launch date for the fall offensive, just because Orthodox Christianity values synchronicity.
The Russian Ambassador made a very good statement at the UN yesterday after the drug addled elensky made a speech where he lied as usual. The Ambassador had a subtle dig at him at the start. It is a long and detailed statement – I will put the beginning here:
https://russiaun.ru/en/news/240822n
“Mr. President,
The reason that the Council members at one point decided to avoid connecting foreign leaders via video link is also the desire to avoid the technical glitches that we just saw during the speech of Mr. Vladimir Zelensky. At times it was very difficult to understand him. We hope that our position in favor of the need for participating in meetings of such guests in person — if only out of respect for them — has become clearer to those following today’s meeting.
Mr. President,
We gathered here yesterday in connection with a specific threat to international peace and security – Kiev’s ongoing shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is bringing Europe to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. We took note of the Secretary General’s explanation as for why he did not participate in the yesterday’s meeting. However, today’s meeting has no formal connection whatsoever to the developments on the ground and it is intended to demonstrate the unwavering support of Western delegations for any actions of the Kiev regime. As it was to be expected, we have heard enough mantras about the Russian aggression. As we have already said, over the past 200 years the West has not been able to come up with any other explanation for the challenges to the European security, except for references to Russia’s actions.
Today we have heard a lot of allegations about the catastrophic consequences of the six months of hostilities for the civilian population of Ukraine. Nobody argues that Ukrainians are having a hard time today. However, the responsibility for this lies with the Kiev regime which came to power in 2014 as a result of an anti-constitutional coup carried out with the help of a number of Western States. From the very beginning, the new Maidan authorities have consistently led the country to disaster, encouraging Russophobia and the glorification of Nazi criminals. Thus, according to the most conservative estimates, more than 60 percent of the population of Ukraine was deprived of the opportunity to demonstrate their Russian-speaking identity, contrary to all relevant international conventions and obligations of Ukraine. Western curators, blinded by the geopolitical task of weakening Russia, initially made it clear that they would cover up any crimes of the Kiev authorities and turn a blind eye to all the things they would never allow in their own countries.
The Kiev regime fully demonstrated its criminal nature when it burnt those who disagreed with it alive in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa and dropped bombs and shelled the civilian population of Donbas. In this senseless “crusade” against itself, Ukraine lost Crimea and provoked an armed resistance from the Donetsk and Lugansk residents, who took up arms in the name of freedom and the future of their children.
This war, which claimed the lives of civilians for eight years, could have ended if Kiev had implemented the Minsk agreements. However, neither the Ukrainian authorities nor their foreign patrons needed this. They spoke openly about it once again at the beginning of this year, threatening to abandon their nuclear-free status. Against this background, in order to establish peace in the Donbas, as well as to prevent the obvious threats emanating from Ukraine to Russia, we had no choice but to launch a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, and we’ve been successfully reaching the goals of this operation on a consistent basis. I repeat once again: if the Minsk agreements had been implemented, no special operation there be necessary. But the Kiev regime decided otherwise.
Criminal shelling of the republics of Donbas does not stop. According to available assessments, since the beginning of the escalation in the Donetsk People’s Republic in February more than 840 people have died along the line of contact, about 2,800 were injured. In the Luhansk People’s Republic, 80 people were killed and more than 250 were injured. About a hundred civilians have been killed in just four weeks since the previous meeting on July 29.
The Ukrainian armed forces purposefully destroy civilian infrastructure, including kindergartens, schools and medical facilities, power lines and gas pipelines. They do not spare even those cities of Donbas that until recently were under their control, such as Lisichansk. And instead of condemning their Ukrainian wards our former Western partners are supplying them with more and more new types of weapons, reaching where Kiev could not reach before. Thus, they become accomplices in crimes against the civilian population, and given that the use of some artillery systems, as the Ukrainians themselves admit, is impossible without coordinating targets with suppliers, they also become co-perpetrators. This primarily concerns the American MLRS “HIMARS”, that was used, in particular, to strike the correctional colony in Yelenovka on July 29, costing the lives of more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war. We know that the President of Ukraine is well aware that the Ukrainian armed forces are behind this crime, although today he fed us a false version of Russia’s involvement in this……….”
This is a very powerful speech and gives a good indication where Russia is going with this. It appears they are going to just plow through the West’s narrative, create a counternarrative, capture as many Nazis as they can, have the Donetsk Russians put them on trial and then to death. In short, a repeat of what the Soviets and West did with the Germans. And my guess is it is their facts will become the historical truth.
A very powerful presentation.

Thanks, V.
Unfortunately the UN is a dead horse, beating it will not work.
Russia, China, Iran, India, and other minor powers, need to start a new international framework outside the UN, a corrupt to the core organization, completely hijacked by the criminal Collective West.
Regardless, it is important to learn what transpires in that whorehouse.
Lone Wolf
I think UN should be dismantled entirely. Not only it failed its intended purpose even in its second iteration, but since establishment of League of Nations the world has gone through bloodiest conflicts in history and the host nation hijacked the institution and became an international bully. Perhaps the new world Russia is building should be based on bilateral relations rathen than be supervised by UN-like entity.
It wouldn’t take more than a handful of countries to take the United out of Nations.
I take that back, maybe not abolished, there are many good international agreements that ought to be universal rather than bilateral, like UNCLOS. Just make sure UN cannot be hijacked by one strong member.
Leyca, 2 points:
1 The UN is already hijacked. See my response to Black Cloud
2 The UN can negotiate as many treaties as it likes – but if national parliaments dont ratify those treaties then those countries arent signatories eg the US is not a signatory to UNCLOS and forbids its citizens from being subpoenaed to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for example.
A parallel organization perhaps called something like “Humanity United” needs to emerge from the interaction between participants in various multipolar platforms. It should go beyond Nation States defined by imperialistic historical legacy and affirm the principles of uinversal indivisible security and right of people to define their historical national identity via the referendum mechanism. This will complement the tectonic shifts in the geoeconomics domain with a counterpart in geocultural domain
The mainstream news media in the USA flatly reports as fact the lie that Russian troops are shelling themselves in order to trigger a nuclear meltdown.
“reverse” Vietnam
Let me explain: the collective West thought they could drag RU into the quagmire (Russia’s Vietnam) by forcing “Ze” to fight to the last Ukrainian.
But now it’s the collective West that is bogged down to that quagmire, forced to pump $$$ and deplete their own weapon stockpile, and go into economic depression by all their own sanctions! And RU is not at all in a hurry to finish up this conflict; she needs time to consolidate the partners for the new world order.
So, it looks like …. reverse Vietnam!
Some in the west think everything is going according to plan, in particular the military complex, the energy complex, and the financial complex.
After losing a large percentage of their *best & brightest* NATO trained soldiers and moving the 2nd & 3rd rate ones to the frontlines, there appears an uptick in casualties (from maybe losing 300-500 KIA + Wounded per day, to now losing 1000-1500 per day). Russia seem to be going after the better trained soldiers behind the lines, the ones who are ready to speed towards, shore up any cracks in defences due to losses and to shoot deserters, thereby discouraging such repetition from other units . In doing so Russia must believe that desertion/surrender would be en masse if they could deplete heavily the hardcore NATO Nazis.
Poor regular/conscripts caught up in no man’s land. If I was in this situation I’d spend all the time between bombs drawing up a plan (in my head) on how to run/escape East to freedom, well probably jail, which is still a much better option than getting shot in the face or back.
I can remember a golf trip (links course) to Aberdeen, Scotland a few years back with half a dozen mates when there was a hell of a wind blowing off the North Sea, causing me to spend a lot of time ball plugged escaping from a bunker. So I can really empathize with those Ukies, it’s nae picnic lad!
All the signs point to Zelensky’s imminent martyrdom.
That is an insult to the martyrs of Christianity, whether East or West.
Z’s fate to be decided at NATO HQ, and it looks like they prepare a Junta of Ukr. Mil. Chief who might sue for a deal.
Forget any Gnostic crystal ball gazing – this is real sh*it, sorry, shrapnel.
Among the gays he will be sorely (pun intended) missed.
True that. He’s getting a little too “cocky.”
Putin and his staff know it’s best to let Ze live than to make him a martyr. If he lives it will give the people of Ukraine a point at which to focus their rage, or at least their questions regarding what happened to their nation. All probably in vain though as MI6 or the CIA will probably dispose of him themselves.
Good point. In a RT today link I’ve posted above, Russia announces a bounty on two nazi commanders of the kiev regime. Another article RT today shows Ze posting images of nazi members, noted on his social media page. Today, he made a sketchy, digital appearance at his UN SC instead of in person, a breach of protocol.
A connection seems obvious….

Aqui no Centro-Oeste do Brasil, conversando com um Advogado de Imobiliária, ele está vendendo duas casas para famílias suíças, eles virão em dois meses, crêem que a Europa acabou. Esses dias, estava no Hospital, cinco pacientes conversando em inglês, meu médico contou que aumentou muito o número de pacientes estrangeiros.
Creio que haverá uma debandada europeia para o Brasil, muitos amigos com parentes que trabalham na Europa estão procurando casas para alugar devido a volta de trabalhadores que hoje estão em Portugal e na Irlanda.
A desnazificação da Ucrânia é só a ponta do Iceberg, as conseqüencias serão mundiais.

These days, I was in the Hospital, five patients talking in English, my doctor said that the number of foreign patients has increased a lot.
I believe there will be a European stampede to Brazil, many friends with relatives who work in Europe are looking for houses to rent due to the return of workers who are now in Portugal and Ireland.
The denazification of Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg, the consequences will be worldwide.
A bit of dark humor: I think the best investment next spring in Europe will be in funeral homes. :-/
Not just war in Ukraine, Europe is getting hammered by the nature as well. Worst drought worst in 500 years, forest fires, energy crisis and general everyday Brusel bureaucracy BS – it adds up. I am looking at Russia as potential migration destination, Republic of Dagestan looks lovely, mild warm weather, one of lowest homicide rates in Russia. IMO if Putin plays this game right, Russia can become new talent sink and talent will flow opposite direction – from West and from Asia to Russia.

The train that got all busted up Wednesday may have been carrying grain to starving Africans. That tanks and stuff were also mangled shouldn’t be viewed as suspicious as they were only a deterrent against Somalian pirates operating between Kiev & Lviv.
You think the RF MoD would waste an Islander on grain?
Just imagine being called to the Kremlin to explain that! Could ruin you’re whole day!
I do hope that your post was ironic! I saw a clip of the train; it certainly was not one carrying grain.
Of course it’s sarcasm!
Somalian pirates wouldn’t last a day in Lviv. Probably be thrown into the Donbass frontline, whereas they’d rather take their chance worrying American and European frigates in the Gulf of Aden. Much longer odds of survival.
Fooled me. Read like a headline from the Kyiv Po. lol But seriously, a bit chute video shows the carnage quite clearly. No one escaped.
Russia claimed it a Military target, a strike obliterating 200 nazi reservists.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-claims-train-station-strike-killed-over-200-ukrainian-troops/
The rational course for Ukraine would have been to allow Donetsk and Lugansk to break away. There is zero chance that they will ever be part of Ukraine. So why did Ukraine choose to engage in warfare with Russia when it is futile?
They did it because the USA told them to do it. So the real question is: Why does USA want war in Ukraine? Are they dumb enough to think that Ukraine will be Russia’s “Viet Nam”?
I suspect the real motive has something to do with the Great Reset. War in Ukraine is somehow part of a plot by The Global Bankster Cult to achieve total tyranny and famine throughout the world. Get ready to eat insects.
The ‘West’ wants the war in Ukraine because they believe that an unsuccessful war for Russia would provoke a revolution on the model 1905, 1917 which would lead to ‘regime change’ and to the dismantling of Russia. Their narcissistic hubris (compounded with an appalling ignorance of things Russian) prevents them to learn anything from history.
Check the history of Khazaria…connecting the dots to neocons like Nuland, Blinken and co…you will find the REAL reason. Check also Syria(same neocons, greater Israel project), Ukraine was supposed to be Israel 2.0, exactly the zone liberated by Russia (the richest one), most important being the two biggest strategic spots in Europe or even the World: Crimea and Odessa.
Anglos + neocons will try ANYTHING to deny Odessa to Russia and if possible retaking Crimea one day as a big bonus, it was the main goal of the Maidan.
UK was supposed to open two bases near Odessa.
Russia without access to hot seas via Crimea, Odessa, Tartous( + Yemenin air base to protect)…would be almost finished or very diminished in terms of military dominance.Acces to baltic sea may become next neocons + russophobes countries in the area.Arctic and Pacific passages/ access would become only escape.
Baikonour is also very important eventhough less in in the mid term.
Let’s not forget also that Monsanto and their Ilk had already bought about half of all arable land in Ukraine.
I’m only hypothesizing:
With disputed borders, Ukraine couldn’t be admitted into NATO, right? Ukraine had to re-aquire the Dombas (and Crimea) or have zero chance of joining. So they’re hell bent on it.
That’s also why the US, UK, and Canada etc. egged them into attacking their seperatist provinces. Of course Russia was a spanner in the works and preempted the Ukrainian attack.
Surely they could have made a deal that didn’t end up with “disputed borders” but rather with clear borders.
Was it not an attempt to achieve a possible first strike nuclear capability? My read is that beyond all other motives, American war planners were looking for strategic dominance, with nukes on the eastern border of Ukraine. Russian war planners had no other choice. Missiles only minutes from Moscow leaves Russia the options of immediate launch, or surrender.
Possibly. But their calculus might have weighted 50k troops attacking the Dombas (and Crimea later?) with more weight. Remember they had all that NATO training? Plus this is the industrial heartland of Ukraine too.
Scott Ritter says “Once Avdeevka falls everything will fall into place”. If he is correct (and I think he is), it will be the beginning of the end of the war!!!
Before the “evasion” of Azovztal in Marioupol some people mentioned there where some big bosses hidding inside. Was this true? If this was the case who where they and what happened to them?
Their incinerated bodies were found in the lower chambers of the Azovstal plant,
fragments of foreign pasports were found!
Unfortunate that the passports weren’t made of the same kryptonite coated material used by the 9/11 hijackers, it would have made the investigations by the Russian authorities so much easier.
The upcoming very public trials in cages will bring all that out. Kiev is desperate to top the trials – they even attacked Azov POW’s. I presume Donbass is aware of the danger.
It should be quite a cacophony of singing canaries!
In regards to the Darya Dugina murder, its hard to see Zelensky committing this atrocity of his own accord. At the very least he would require “permission” from his Anglo handlers.
Probably a sign of desperation on their part.
MI6 is in charge, not even CIA.

I wonder if the money the US is constantly giving to Ukraine and the latest commitment to continue funding it, is about blackmail and extortion from the Ukrainians (who have a lot of dirt on American politicians) and not about all this BS about “democracy” and “freedom”? These American politicians are stealing from their own country to cover their own crimes. Some day all will be revealed.
Ukraine are fracking boy scouts compared to America in the extortion racket.
I personally wonder if Ukrainian casualty reports are not just underreported for moral purposes but also due to the oldest military scam in history, reporting dead soldiers as still alive, and on the roster, to collect their salaries and whatever else the commanders get to keep them fed, equipped, and in the field.
It is not as if corruption at this level is not known in the Ukraine.
Collecting dead mens paychecks I am sure is probably the least of Ukrainian sins.
If our government was a serious government of sane, common sense driven, truly concerned American politicians, we would be demanding an accurate counting of casualties.
It is the American taxpayer that pays ALL Ukrainian Service Personnel salaries after all.
Even the salaries of AZOV assassins that murder philosophers young daughters.
YUP!
We paid for that too.
I read somewhere the Ukraine government does not pay survivors of war dead unless a body can be produced.
Another reason to underreport deaths. No body, no hryvnia.
“No body, No Dollars” , there fixed it for ya.
Ukraine needs $5 billion a month to get by.
Now there is a bankers paradox – unpayable loans mean a pound of flesh – how is a poor banker to collect?
Maybe the famous Ukrainian black earth sold on the black market?

The “Tsargrad” article touches upon the “Asian threat” without furthering a definition of the threat, which locates in Central Asia.
Just found an article, same news outlet, re: Russia’s relationship with the stans, which expands on the points I make in my comment, and help to understand the “Central Asia threat,” the corrupt stans elites, their multi-vectorial policies, their backstabbing of Russia, their servitude to the Russophobic policies of the Collective West, their selfish foreign policies.
Russia is correct to consider them a threat.
Just read how Kazakhstan’s Tokayev dismisses Russia’s help during the recent “color revolution” that threatened to unseat the regime’s elites. His derogatory statements frame the relationship with Russia in the context of “we don’t owe you anything.”
The article is quite long, worth the time.
Here it is.

ORGANIZATION OF FRIENDS BOWING TO BIDEN: RUSSIA PUTS CSTO BEFORE A CHOICE
What to do with the” allies ” in the CIS and CSTO, who constantly betray Moscow, bending before the West, which is waging a war of annihilation with Russia? There is a way out. This is a solvable problem.
“…What” surprised ” Tokayev?
In the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin and in an interview with Russian media, the president of Kazakhstan, which never existed as a state before 1991, where the Bolsheviks included several purely Russian regions for their own purposes, said that Nur-Sultan, Moscow’s partner in the CIS and CSTO, would not recognize the LPR and DPR, which he called ” quasi-states”. The Kazakh president mocked the right of nations to self-determination, which, in particular, gave birth to his own country, calling it an invitation to “chaos” and thereby laying a mine for the future for Kazakhstan itself. Tokayev confirmed that Kazakhstan will continue to submit to the West’s illegal anti-Russian sanctions (“Sanctions are sanctions. We must not break them”). And finally, as it turned out, he is not at all grateful to Russia for the recent suppression of the bloody oligarchic putsch in his country, organized with the support of the West by the Nazarbayev clan, which is mired in monstrous corruption and nepotism, attributing the merit of saving Kazakhstan and himself personally… The CSTO. Although everyone is well aware that Tokayev and Kazakhstan were saved from chaos and carnage, first of all, by Russia.
“Austria will still surprise the world with its ingratitude,” Felix Schwarzenberg, the country’s foreign minister, declared in the mid-19th century, when Russia, guided by its obligations under the Holy Alliance and without pursuing any selfish goals, saved the “friendly” empire from the Hungarian revolution. And the world saw that because of Austria’s betrayal, Russia lost the Crimean War. And here’s what Tokayev said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel::
For the first time in 30 years of the CSTO (do you catch any contemptuous notes here? – editor’s note) proved itself by sending a limited contingent to Kazakhstan. I emphasize that it is not Russia, but the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). In Russia, some people misrepresent this situation, claiming that Russia saved Kazakhstan, and Kazakhstan should now serve forever and bow at the feet of Russia. I believe that this is completely unjustified reasoning, far from reality. It is impossible to politicize this situation, to express all sorts of idle fictions about it.
After that, you don’t need to give any other quotes.
He’s not alone…
What is this, an annoying exception? Of course not. At the recent anniversary summit of the CSTO, with the exception of Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, other leaders of the organization’s member countries never mentioned the special operation in Ukraine, the conflict with NATO and Western sanctions, but they spoke in unison about the threat from Afghanistan, which-thanks to Russian diplomacy – does not yet exist. Only Kyrgyzstan, which is more dependent on Moscow than others, has expressed very cautious understanding of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, but, like all other countries in the region, is doing everything possible to ensure that support for Putin’s policy in the Ukrainian direction in Kyrgyz society is minimal. In short, this is a typical political buffet. We take what we like from it, and ignore the rest. If we are in trouble, we run to Moscow for help and get it. If Russia has problems, we say that it is a “big and strong country”, so it will somehow get out of it. The Russians will not punish us for this, just as they do not punish us for many other things. But the West, if we disobey, will take three skins. Do we need it? Such is the “positivist philosophy”.
The reasons why Russia’s “allies” in the CIS and CSTO are holding on to it are obvious. First of all, Moscow, we repeat, does not beat hands for this. Secondly, all the above-mentioned countries are afraid of secondary and personal sanctions of the West. This is admitted quite openly. Tokayev, for example, spoke honestly about this in St. Petersburg. Kazakh Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi also stated that his country
It always opposes sanctions as a method of international pressure, only if these sanctions are not adopted by the UN, but in order not to earn secondary sanctions ourselves, we will not help to circumvent them.
He was referring, of course, to Russia and the sanctions imposed on us by the West.
Other politicians in Kazakhstan, almost all of Moscow’s “partners” in the CIS and CSTO, speak in the same spirit. Sabotage of the integration process within the EAEU-from the same series. The Central Asian countries receive financial aid, which is partly deposited in the pockets of the elite, not only from Russia, but also from Washington, London, Brussels, and individual EU countries. In addition, Nur-Sultan and others want to make money on the supply of goods from the list of parallel imports to Russia. If it falls under Western sanctions, this will not be possible…”

Tokayev has legal points in International law. Kazakhstan has $15 billion of their own frozen in US and is under various pressure.
Like Serbia they can support Russia only to a certain point, then the blackmail on the government becomes unbearable and they have to give in.
We dont know what is happening behind the media campaigns, a professional Martyanov maybe could clear this up, I dont know. Just saying we should hesitate in blacking governments. Government policy is the art of the feasible, not the desirable.
They don’t have to give in,sometimes in life people have to do whats right not what is expedient no matter how difficult.

Reminder 55,000,000 – 70,000,000 people were killed in the Second War to defeat Fascism.
The so-called “Day of the Defenders of Ukraine” rally in Kiev brings out Azov, Right Sektor & other ultra-nationalist gangs, incl. the regime-backed Bandera fans in tribute to the OUN-UPA, which exterminated more than 100,000 Poles, Jews, Russians, communists & Roma gypsies.

Patriotic spirit is runnig high in Russia, and the success in Syria has burnished the image of the military. In this atmosphere it will attract higher quality recruits. Sensible move.
Military summary yesterday came forward with an analysis as to why the RF are amassing lots of paratrooper helicopters (enough for moving 16.000 of them) near the frontline. He concluded that this helicopter gathering might be useful for the liberation of Nikolaev (and possibly Odessa). But he failed to mention that the RF may want to set up a raid against the Ukies who are shelling the nuclear power station from the opposite side of the Dniepr river. My guess is, that there a unexpected massive helicopter attack may be most effective.
The UAF shelling started fires which wrecked the main powerline from ZNPP to Ukraine itself – no more power.Other powerlines are ok.
Looks like they want to stop at all costs an IAEA inspectors visit. IAEA chef Grossi said at the Davos May25 meet. This is literally explosive :
https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/iaea-grossi-at-davos-nuclear-power-climate-change-and-ukraine
“Mr Grossi added that the IAEA is seeking to visit Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, under occupation by Russian forces, to verify that the 30,000 kg of plutonium and 40,000 kg of enriched uranium stored there have not been deviated for other uses.”
The RF got to ZNPP day 2 of the SMO. Hmmm – I wonder where that 70 tons ($300 billion worth) now is?
Not sure its a good idea to expose combat plans,unless its a diversion.
Any massed movement is today immediately on satellite – even private ones.
Might be time to put those Peresvet’s to work?

Englishman:
If you are into the history and are familiar with the detailed campaigns of the Great Patriotic War, there is a whole book dedicated to Russian deception practices:
Soviet Military Deception in the Second World War
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2377863.Soviet_Military_Deception_in_the_Second_World_War
They literally had entire units devoted to this and conducted almost all of their operations with “Maskirovka” in mind. As a result the Germans were surprised time and time again.
I think this is why all commentators in the West fail to understand what Russia is doing and why the Ukes seem to always be caught flatfooted. There is nothing comparable in the US Army or in the West.
It seems there are Polish regulars openly fighting in Ukraine.
Meyssan points out that in such a case NATO Article 5 does not apply as Poland initiated it.
This opens pandora’s box – what if the US, UK openly initiate action in Ukraine, knowing this?
Looks like Ukraine is used to get around all existing treaties, including NATO.
@ intel slava it is said that NPS-Z (the atomic power station under attack by nazis) remains disconnected from grid (09:00 UTC August 26) – and therefore essential internal plant loads are being carried by EDG (emergency diesel generators). As Arnie explains at Fairewinds, EDG’s are typically sized to handle only essential systems, pumps, mostly. Diesels too require cooling… Considering that USSR built the plant, I suspect that the diesels are proportionally larger and more redundant that the designs used in US NPS. Diesels are rugged and reliable, provided they have sound cooling systems and clean fuel, competent technical supervision, spares, etc. People tend to imagine that diesel cooling requirements are fairly small…whereas in reality the waste heat exceeds the power output in nearly all applications, but a rough estimate would be that a notationally 6 MW diesel sends to the cooling system perhaps 7 or 8 MW, and maybe more. Bombarding the plant can, it’s a matter of luck, mostly, rupture one or more EDG cooling systems. Generally the EDG’s use very large fluid to air cooling – “radiators” vaguely similar to the one used in cars, but more robust. Nevertheless they can be ruptured by shelling or concussion. Further, it’s said that NPS-Z is fueled with unsuitable fuel from Westinghouse, and that the reactor fuel bundles are warped and the reactor internals are out of design spec because of this improper fuel. IMHO all NPS-Z operating reactors ought to be shut-down, (well, they are, as without grid there’s no load) and I note than in shut-down they’ll all require either grid or EDG’s for perhaps a year. At present the “barrier” the only barrier preventing a catastrophic event is the continued EDG’s running. At this time the plant has one line of defense – the diesels. I hope the Soviet engineers built in the ability to cross connect the EDG’s and plenty of bunker fuel, and rugged engines, and rugged cooling systems… (and I would very much like to have some block diagrams of NPS-Z systems!) (Personally, I have found Russian (Soviet) machinery to be elegant in fundamental ways.) Generally NPS cannot “black start”, which is to say that without grid they cannot be started. In a technical view, the situation at NPS-Z is very grave and teetering on the edge. Since the reactors are shut-down, (a process, not really an event), they’ll probably stay shut down, now, for a long time…they need Russian fuel, major overhauls and inspections, re-fits, etc, and of course a peaceful and stable environment. My view is that NPS-Z is out of business for several years, pending from re-fit and the completion of SMO 404, and points west, especially points west.
…………other matter> “Russian allegations of rampant Nazism in Europe” (25 August, Gilbert Doctorow) touches the matter of 404. (I am astonished that Gilbert limited his paper to European (including the ones in 404) nazis! Most dangerous nazis are not in Europe. Most wear nice suits and have servants, and make no secret of their ambitions to rule the Earth and “cull” the nutzlossenvolk)

Update on ZNPP :
https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-94-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine
” I’m determined to personally lead an IAEA mission to the plant in the next few days to help stabilise the nuclear safety and security situation there,” Director General Grossi said.”
Grossi is banking on Macron saying he has security guarantees from Ukraine and Russia.
Grossi better pack flak-jackets, and ride an armored detail. I hope he is not naive.
Indeed whats the hold up as if we didn’t know,better be prepared for another Uki false flag.
The US or Nato will refuse to extradite those who are guilty of any violations of intl. law, we’ve seen it many times, they doent care about intl. law.
Yes, I agree. They will refuse…and then?
It’s a common matter these days for “wanted” people to simply be kidnapped, I believe Mercouris spoke to this recently. Two can play at such a game. The jurisdiction for war crimes can be disputed, but I understand Nuremberg as establishing universal jurisdiction. And shall we recall that certain zionists kidnapped Eichmann? The show trial and hanging was ever so splendid. They say, for example, that Great Man of Peace Kissinger will not visit certain countries, aheemmm.
International Law is based in Contracts between equals in Law. What one party does is thus available under the law to another. That’s at the most basic foundational level.
But we note that, as you say, they don’t care…and, well, they simply use force and cunning as a brigand would. Force and lies are their rule, and we may say, their last resort.
Some might imagine that Russian agents might someday grab a few nazi criminals almost anywhere. They say that they check the older people visiting Rus – to check them against wanted lists from WW2…Mr Bear has long memory.
Best to you. P
A bombshell from Prague :
The Crucial Cause Behind Energy Crisis is ‘Green Fanaticism,’ Says Czech President
https://www.praguemorning.cz/the-crucial-cause-behind-energy-crisis-is-green-fanaticism-says-czech-president/
“Despite the war with Ukraine and central banks printing trillions of euros in dollars in recent years, Czech President Miloš Zeman believes the primary cause of the energy crisis is “green fanaticism.””
The Ukraine conflict is being used for the Green Cult – Ukrainian’s and Russian’s are being offered on the alter of Gaia. This is an old European (Bel, Apollo, Mithra, Ishtar) and American (Aztec) ‘tradition’ – Sun gods expect it.
Attention Christians, of all color’s, – deja-vu?
Since many here look at the conflict from a religious point of view – heed the harrowing warning from Germany’s perhaps greatest Poet, Heinrich Heine!
“Religion And Philosophy In Germany A Fragment”
https://archive.org/stream/religionandphilo011616mbp/religionandphilo011616mbp_djvu.txt
…On Emmanuel Kant, taught today all across the transatlantic :
“What a strange contrast did this man’s outward life
present to his destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!
In sooth, had the citizens of Koenigsberg had the least
presentiment of the full significance of his ideas, they
would have felt a far more awful dread at the presence of
this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but
kill the body. But the worthy folk saw in him nothing
more than a Professor of Philosophy, and as he passed
at his customary hour, they greeted him in a friendly
manner and set their watches by him. ”
This “harmless” little man, Kant, opened the door to what many call nazi-ism .
It takes such a Poet , Heine, to sound alarm.
Reading this, mostly unknown text, from 1834, knowing what we do now, and note how calm it seems!
Andrei,
There is an article in the August issue of Marine Corps Gazette by somebody writing under the nom de guerre Marinus’ – presumably a retired senior Marine officer – brazenly laying out the realities of the SMO and applying the blowtorch of truth to the Kiev / Langley / western media psy-op.
Although he felt obliged to use a pseudonym, it’s very encouraging that it got published at all. Needless to say, the usual media suspects have studiously ignored it.
I had to set up a Marine Corps Association account and make a small ‘donation’ before I could download the PDF. It starts near the end of the issue on page 90. I don’t have the software to cull just those pages, but happy to share the whole PDF with anyone who wants it.
‘Marinus’ claims that Russian doctrine borrowed the English term ‘raid’ in the late 1800s (he transcribes the Russian as ‘reyd’ so I assume it’s рейд) but that the Russian concept is broader than the USMC usage. He never uses the word ‘feint’ but he might as well have.
Key passage:
‘In the early days of the maneuver warfare debate, maneuverists often presented their preferred philosophy as the logical opposite of “firepower / attrition warfare.” … In the Russian campaigns in Ukraine, however, a set of operations made mostly of movement complemented one composed chiefly of cannonades.
‘One way to resolve this apparent paradox is to characterize the raids of the first five weeks of the war as a grand deception that, while working little in the way of direct destruction, made possible the subsequent attrition of the Ukrainian armed forces.
‘In particular, the threat posed by the raids delayed the movement of Ukrainian forces into the main theater of the war until the Russians had deployed the artillery units, secured the transporting network, and accumulated the stocks of ammunition needed to conduct a long series of big bombardments. This delay also ensured that, when the Ukrainians did deploy additional formations to the Donbass region, the movement of such forces, and the supplies needed to sustain them, had been rendered much more difficult by the ruin wrought upon the Ukrainian rail network by long-range guided missiles. In other words, the Russians conducted a brief campaign of maneuver in the north in order to set the stage for a longer, and, ultimately, more important, campaign of attrition in the east.
‘From the start, Russian propaganda insisted that the “special military operation” in Ukraine served three purposes: the protection of the two pro-Russian protostates, “demilitarization,” and “denazification.” All three of these goals required the infliction of heavy losses upon Ukrainian formations fighting in the Donbass. None, however, depended upon the occupation of parts of Ukraine where the vast majority of people spoke the Ukrainian language, embraced a Ukrainian ethnic identity, and supported the Ukrainian state. Indeed, the sustained occupation of such places by Russian forces would have supported the proposition that Russia was trying to conquer all of Ukraine.’
I don’t have the software to cull just those pages, but happy to share the whole PDF with anyone who wants it.
There is a simple workaround:
1) Choose “Print”
2) Select the page range
3) Most important, choose “PDF file” as your printer destination
4) Save the file to your preferred destination.

The vast Russian Federation spans 11 time zones and sits atop 1/4 to 1/3 of the world’s resources. They got it and the globohomoschlomo grifters want it. The globohomoschlomos had these vast resources within their grasp in the early 1990s, but blew it, and they are pissed. The vile globohomoschlomos are still determined to bust up Russia and grab the goodies. It’s that simple.
There is a difference to the 1990’s – the globohomoschlomo is now utterly bankrupt.
The first to fall was the Wall, now the next foot falls.
Time to put globohomoschlomo through Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, and only 4 major powers acting together, Russia, USA (yes, that’s right), China, India can call the shots.
India and China are right now getting their act together – expect major meetings in Sep.
Spot on,that drunken court jester was responsible for that.
Everybody wants to win, but nobody wants to die, walk your tightrope w/caution.

If trying to induce a nuclear catastrophe doesn’t constitute a war crime on the part of Kiev and their backers in Washington and London then I don’t know what does. The Zelensky regime is a criminal/terrorist regime and it’s backers are the same.
The UK is the celebrated asylum, haven of Russian haters and repository of their ill gotten gains. The hospitality of M16 extends to protection 24/7 and lavish funding by the ignorant British tax payer.
The female suspect in the murder of Daren Dugin has disappeared in Western Europe following her timely exit from Russia. Her VSU and M16 handlers will insure her escape via a clandestine pipeline and her likely safe haven will be the UK under the protection of M16. Not the main protagonist behind the murder she becomes the hunted fanatic with a short shelf life unless she is judged useful as a propaganda asset in the information war against Russia.
similarly to the mysterious lady who was involved in the Navalny poisoning..

.note UK Estonia long history of intel connections.
British Army Review publication from summer 2021 states: “Ukraine and Estonia have evolved more from support to (UK) Operations ORBITAL and CABRIT”, the UK deployment to Estonia as part of NATO’s Forward Presence. “These are also win-wins for NATO, which is coming neatly into alignment.”

If they can hide the Skiprols why can’t they hide her and her daughter? As for England being a safe haven for Russian dissidents, Marx rests their if I remember, Boris on his grannies side is Russian, no doubt Bolshevik dissident. Still the same cast of characters, hundreds of years later, a story, like a song with no end……..it goes on and on.

thanks for your good work Andrei.
The Russian Federation is playing for time, hoping that the counter-sanctions will have significant political effects. If the effects are not significant enough, where could the breakup come from? Mid Term in USA? Taiwan and the problems of supply chain disruptions? Banking disruption? The Vatican has required all religious institutions and officials to deposit their money in the Vatican bank. Announcement of a new reserve currency by VVP at the Vladivostok seminar in the fall? I am impressed by the calmness of the Russians in such a high-stakes situation.
I am optimistic but tense. The more complete the defeat of the West, the more hope we can have in the long run. A hard winter, like the one in 44-45 in Europe would be a blessing.
The people who settled America were a hardy rugged individuals, they could handle the cold, break the land, and fight the animals w/the equivalent of todays pea shooters.
As time went on they multiplied, but the ruggedness slowly went away as the amount of heavy lifting required was reduced by each generation.
Then came the industrial revolution, each generation needing to do less work as the machine replaced labor.
Todays humans system cant take the change in seasons w/o getting sick as a dog in the process, 3 days after they realize there are not enough blankets to keep everyone warm and toasty, there will be riots in the streets.
Voenkor Kitten Z
Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation at 00-30 Moscow time on August 27, 2022 during the operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine especially for the Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok channel – part I:
1.
Avdiivka.
Positional battles in the industrial zone and north of the village along the Avdeevka-Konstantinovka highway. There has been no significant progress in recent days. The artillery of the Avdiivka group continues shelling Donetsk and other settlements.
The fighting at the Donetsk airport is in a positional vein. Experienced – completely under the enemy. Fights with the aim of advancing to Experienced have not yet yielded decisive results.
2.
Sands.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the army of the DPR are entrenched in the occupied fortified area and are methodically pushing the enemy away from the outskirts of Peski from the nearest forest plantations, although the enemy continues to claim that he is still fighting for Peski. He has already lost the main fortifications here. Our troops are applying pressure in the direction of Pervomaisky and Nevelskoye (there is a slight advance) and in the direction of Vodyany, with the aim of advancing towards the Orlovka-Avdeevka highway and trying to take them under fire control from the south. The enemy understands this, so he fortifies himself in Vodyany, transfers reserves to Orlovka in case of an unfavorable development of events. The main advance of our troops in this direction becomes possible mainly due to the overwhelming artillery destruction of enemy positions, which in a significant part of cases ensures the success of the assault groups.
3.
Marinka.
There is little progress in the village. The enemy is holding the western part of the settlement behind a waste heap and has not yet demonstrated readiness to withdraw. The current activity of the assault groups and the factor of artillery destruction of enemy positions is still not enough to knock the enemy out of positions.
Attempts to advance south of Maryinka between Maryinka and Novomikhailovka have so far not yielded decisive results.
4.
Carbon.
On the outskirts of Novomikhailovka – positional battles, as in the Shevchenkovo area. Pavlovka is still under the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Ugledar-Marinka road has not yet been cut. The enemy periodically makes counterattacks with forces up to 1-2 companies, but to no avail. Positional tendencies continue to dominate.
5.
Artemovsk.
The main battles were for the Zaitsevo-Kodema line. Zaitsevo (not to be confused with the captured Gorlovsky Zaitsevo) is still under the enemy, the fighting is on the near approaches, but ours have not yet entered the village itself. Kodema is partially covered by our troops, the fighting has moved to the village itself, although it is too early to talk about control, the enemy is stubbornly resisting. Attempts to counterattack the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not lead to success and ended in losses without any results.
On the outskirts of Artemovsk – no change. It has not yet been possible to advance to the Artyomovsk-Soledar road.
Regular attacks on concentrations and locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk, in the area of Chasov Yar and other settlements. The artillery group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition to supporting the troops, continues to launch missile strikes on the territory of the DPR and LPR.
6.
Soledar.
Fighting in the industrial zone to the west of the Knauf plant and in the area of the quarry, from where the APU was ousted. The enemy is stubbornly defending himself and is clearly counting on a long-term defense of the western part of Soledar. The assault on Bakhmutsky continues, but the village has not yet been taken.
To the north of Soledar – battles near Belogorovka and Yakovlevka (not yet completely taken).
In the area of Seversk, as a whole, there are no changes – fighting at Serebryanka, Grigorovka, Verkhnekamensky, Ivano-Daryevka. The Seversk-Soledar highway is still under enemy control.
7.
Slavyansk.
Here tendencies to positionality triumph. In addition to a slight advance in the Bogorodichny area, the last days were marked by fighting near the ruins of Mazanovka. Attempts to counterattack the Armed Forces of Ukraine ended in heavy losses for them. Here the front has stabilized.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to strike at concentrations of troops in the Slavyansko-Kramatorsk agglomeration and at the communications of the Donbass group, the most striking evidence of which was the destruction of a train with reservists in the Chaplino area (more than 200 – “200”), whom the enemy tried to pass off as “civilians”.

Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation at 00-30 Moscow time on August 27, 2022 during the operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine especially for the Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok channel – part II (first part – link ):
8.
Raisins.
In the area of Kurulka and Bolshaya Kamyshevakhi – in general, no changes. The mutual activity of the DRG parties in the forests and the lack of forces on both sides keep the positional front unchanged, which was formed back in April-May. Attempts by the RF Armed Forces to achieve tactical success in the Gusarovka area and advance in the direction of Barvenkovo and the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway did not produce decisive results.
9.
Kharkov.
Fighting near the village of Udy in the direction of Zolochiv. The enemy reinforced this direction with reserves after the withdrawal last week. Fighting at Dementyevka, south of Borshcheva in the direction of Cherkassy Tishok. The enemy continues shelling the border settlements of the Russian Federation.
The RF Armed Forces carry out regular strikes on Kharkov, Chuguev, in the Zolochev area. Despite the recent tactical shifts in favor of the RF Armed Forces, positional tendencies dominate here.
10.
Zaporozhye.
On the line Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole-Velikaya Novoselovka – without significant changes. The activity of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the area of Gulyaipol and Velikaya Novoselovka, as well as the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Ravnopol, did not bring success to the parties.
The enemy is shelling Energodar and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant – Ukraine has actually disconnected itself from one of the main sources of generation. In response to the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the RF Armed Forces delivered strikes against targets in the area of Nikopol and Marganets. It is expected that the head of the IAEA will soon arrive at ZNPP, but much is not expected from this visit.
Preparations for a referendum on the annexation of the liberated territories to Russia have officially started in Zaporozhye, which forces the Zelensky gang to speed up terrorist attacks in order to disrupt the referendum. Nuclear blackmail around the ZNPP is also aimed at disrupting the referendum, which should ensure the irreversibility of Ukraine’s loss of new territories.
11.
Nikolaev.
After the defeat of the enemy in the battles for Blagodatnoye and the occupation of the settlement by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the enemy sat on the defensive. Our troops continue to probe the enemy defenses near the Kherson-Nikolaev highway, expand the control zone on the coast near Aleksandrovka in the direction of Golitsyno. Our troops have good tactical progress, but they should not be confused with a full-fledged attack on Nikolaev. There is also no attack on Kherson, it was actually thwarted by the RF Armed Forces in mid-August and now remains only in outdated propaganda clichés.
12.
Krivoy Rog.
The enemy continues unsuccessful attempts to gain a foothold on the bridgehead in the area of Belogorka and Andreevka, where he has already suffered heavy losses in people and equipment. The terrain here is not conducive to the offensive activity of the parties, and the RF Armed Forces, taking advantage of the advantage in artillery, regularly inflict serious losses on the enemy in manpower during attempts to attack by forces of reservists and Volkssturm. The front on the Ingulets River was never able to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the necessary foothold for an attack on Berislav. Similarly, repeated attempts at attacks in the Vysokopolye and Potemkino regions ended in failure. The front here is quite stable.
The enemy continues shelling bridges across the Dnieper. Arrivals on the Antonovsky bridge and the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station are regular. Despite numerous blows, the enemy has not yet been able to bring down the supports and spans, but he has done a lot of holes in the bridges. Missile strikes continue on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Kherson and Nova Kakhovka. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation regularly strike at Nikolaev and the rear of the Krivoy Rog grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
13.
Dzerzhinsk, Odessa, Sumy – no significant changes.
Russian Bear, nice to see you, good info.
German POWs marched through Moscow, ’44. In remembrance and in lieu of the upcoming trials in Mariopol.

Almost everyday (actually really everyday) we hear about anti-Russian actions taken by Western states against Russia or Russians. I think they need to remember the Christmas song about Santa Claus and change it slightly.
“You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Russia is coming to town
They are making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Russia is coming to town”.
Good one Bob!

Welcome, love Rawhide BTW !
I wouldn’t doubt that the U.S. and all MSM could spin these tribunals as some kind of kangaroo court while spinning a dirty yarn of a story comparing it to Stalin’s trials during his purge. I guess we shall see.
So much chaotic comments although the big picture is pretty clear: there is huge energy crisis panic in collective west, and especially in Europe. Russia has very good cards on hand and slow Ze-Ukraine grinding going on. At this decisive moment Russia is winning the real war which was never war on Ukraine.
During last two weeks mental and spiritual atmosphere in Europe has changed pretty fast. The growing fear in now the number one news all over the “old” continent. Politicians have to to all their best (worst) to downplay the public panic and fear, even horror.
It all seems to pinnacle on sat night though, work in the front, party in the back.
The problem I see in this conflict is that the right-wing capitalist imperialist traditional news media still has too much mind-controlling power in the brains of the masses, but people are waking up to the fact of how evil capitalist-imperialist anti-Russian governments are
P.S. you don’t have to post my Fauci comment. If you want to just read it and keep it under your hat, that’s fine.

Today I read a FB message from an Ukranian woman married with a Dutchman, who was begging for help. Many wounded soldiers from the UAF are being sent to EU hospitials & nursing-homes, where they are in dire need of translators and even more of buddies. The woman mentioned two young men who both had lost their legs. They have gone through of a true hell in the Donbass, but now they are facing another kind of hell: hellish boredom in the surroundings of Dutch hospitals and nursing-homes. The woman asks if someone (with knowledge of Ukranian language) wants to become a buddy for them.
After WWI the streets of Europe got flooded with a generation of young people who were mutilated by the war, having lost limbs, eyesight, or being shell-shocked. This tragedy is presently being repeated. The fact that Ukraine is sending its wounded abroad tells a lot about how sizeable the number of wounded on the Ukranian side is.
https://www.stalkerzone.org/ukraine-europes-main-supplier-of-human-organs/
For understanding, here are approximate prices on the black market of transplantology:
♦️ Kidney up to $150,000;
♦️ Bone marrow $33,000 per gram;
♦️ Liver $250k or more;
♦️ Pancreas $70,000;
♦️ Lungs (pair) up to $200,000;
♦️ Cornea $350,000.
Now you understand that Ukrainian soldiers are great value for the West? Literally. And if to compare this with how many soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are listed as “missing” !!??

He is guarded 24/7 because he is a drug addict and is controlled by the supply or withholding of those substances to which he is addicted.
Like all addicts, his addiction drives him to break any law, any moral boundary and every vestige of human decency in order to obtain his supply.
Those who control him fully illustrate the depravity of the West.
Kazakhstan double crossing Russia exporting arms to Ukraine, and lying about it. Contemptible & despicable ingrate
Anti-NATO Coalition [ZOV]
⚡️🇰🇿🇷🇺🇺🇦The Rybar team congratulates the Beregini hacker group with a powerful joint victory: Kazakhstan officially announced the suspension of military arms exports abroad until the end of 2023 after the scandal we created.
Thanks to our joint work, it was possible to prove that the Kazakhs were actively supplying weapons to Ukraine, supporting open aggression against their own CSTO ally.
The government of Kazakhstan had to announce a complete suspension of arms exports abroad to offset the consequences of the scandal.
Let us recall the chronology of our publications:
▪️The Beregini hacker group published information about shipments of APCs, ATGMs and ammunition from Kazakhstan through Jordanian intermediaries to Ukraine under an order from the UK. Technoexport was the contractor.
The Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan tried to deny this information, stating that the company “Technoexport” did not apply for any licenses. And no deliveries are out of the question.
▪️The Rybar team published a document directly confirming the lies of the Kazakh side. Technoexport has all the licenses for supplying unused or stored military equipment. And the licenses are fresh.
▪️The Rybar team found confirmation of how Kazakhstan’s Technoexport is supplying weapons to Ukraine through a Jordanian firm, Blue Water Supplies.
▪️The Beregini hacker group found out that Technoexport is not the only company involved. Through an allegedly Bulgarian firm owned by Ukrainians, an agreement was reached with Kazspetsexport on the purchase of Kazakh Su-27 aircraft, aircraft engines, and Mi-24 helicopters. According to the documents it was to be delivered to the USA, but in fact it was to end up in Ukraine.
As a result, the Kazakh side received a powerful kickback.

niestety, moje wpisy się nie pojawiają na tym Portalu, spróbuję ponownie. Nie piszę po angielsku, bo słabo znam ten język i nie mam ochoty poznać go lepiej. Uważam, że problem z Ukrainą nie jest problemem Ukraińców, a zwyczajną agresją kościoła katolickiego, chcącego przejąć na początek ziemie wschodnie zajęte przez hitlera w II.wojnie światowej. Cała akcja z drugą wojną światową to był watykański projekt. I choć on się im nie powiódł, to obecnie jest kontynuowany. Widać, że cerkiew prawosławna mająca wpływy na Ukrainie dogadała się z watykanem, stąd powszechna “pomoc” dla “uchodźców ukraińskich” wszędzie na świecie, szczególnie w krajach opanowanych przez kościół katolicki – jak np. Polska. Cerkiew prawosławna to nie jest monolit, składa się ona z różnych odłamów, z własnymi zarządami; coś jak “chrześcijaństwo” rozbite na “baptystów”, “protestantów” i tym podobnych. I tym sposobem każdy może sobie coś “znaleźć” dla siebie, jeżeli jakaś “religia” mu nie pasuje. Jednak zarządca jest jeden – choć być może składa się “on” z kilku osób trzymających ludzi w garści jednakowo bezwzględnie. Trzymaj się, Saker, bo to ważne móc mieć możliwość przeczytania czegoś innego niż w głównym ścieku informacyjnym.
Russia Today cites a report in the English Daily Express that British fighter planes are to be moved out of military airports and dispersed to a number of Civilian airports as a precautionary measure.
Is the UK going to declare war on Russia, or participate in an extreme provocation?
In any event it shows that the Nazis are in charge, hiding the military inside civilian infrastructure.
Any war between Russia and the UK will be extremely short.
