How to be of Help
Like many of your class and kind, the Germans are seeking relief from the results of their sanctions by spending the winter in Turkey, whether supporters of the régime or not, friendly to RF or the others
Why should not the MoA moaning minnies here do the same – the neutral atmosphere will prove friendly for less frantic thoughts, location not far from the action will be stimulating, the many opportunities not only to learn of the reality and practice of fractal neutrality, but also to fraternise with or at least learn from the many Russians wintering in the country
Just like Casablanca ! Bring out the Ricks and Ilsas in you ! Your Country needs you!

When the traitor to humanity, Stalin, joined with the Nazis through the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, and split up Poland, commencing WW2, none would have imagined anyone thinking to rehabilitate his image. Yet Putin did. Putin labors to make Stalin less abhorrent, less a failure to Russia and the planet. Now the delusion, that Ukraine is ruled by Nazis, the “West” being Satanist Nazis, that Russian imperialism is better than Western imperialism, comes across as madness in real time. Poor funny old world. Delusion reigns supreme in each empire, while real politic proceeds apace. Such a sad waste, and so terrible that Russia and China have fallen into the maw. Poor world, ridden by stupid masters.

Turkish Shipyard Launches Ukraine’s 1st MILGEM Corvette
The corvettes will be equipped with Harpoon anti-ship missiles as their primary strike system. Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister stated that the country was considering the indigenous Neptune anti-ship missile, as well as the Harpoon, Atmaca, and Naval Strike Missile. Still, the Harpoon was an unexpected choice. It should be noted that the mockup presented by the company to the first lady is fitted with Aselsan-made Gokdeniz CIWS, while previous statements were suggesting Rheinmetall Oerlikon’s Millennium 35 mm CIWS for the corvette.

Its crystal clear to me that if Putin had destroyed Ukraine with 500K troops in Feb as we all agree he could have, it would be forever condemned by much of the Slavic community. The meme of Slavic unity is very strong. The Ukrainian brothers would have risen if given the chance. IMO Putin had to give them that chance in order to ensure his countries support for what actually has to happen. Genius.

Iran is opposed to nuclear weapons on religious grounds. I do not believe they will build a nuke so long as they follow Shia authorities on the matter.
Iranian deterrence derives from its extremely capable conventional missile systems. Any attack on Iran from the US/Israel nexus would immediately result in the bombardment of US bases across the Mideast as well as Tel Aviv. The damage to US troops and machinery and Israeli government centers would be enormous.
The only way the US/Israel could attack Iran would be via the use of a nuclear first strike. I do not believe the US would approve of this action for several reasons.
Hence I envision the US/Israel strategy to be continued use of economic and proxy warfare against Iranian interests in Syria and Iraq.
I agree with your other point. I do not know why Russia has not “encouraged” certain entities to attack US bases in Syria and Iraq more regularly. The US is especially exposed in Syria. It has no legal basis for being there. It is opposed by other major parties in war, and US populace is not going to accept American casualities for the sake of controlling Syrian oil. Russia via proxies could very well force the US evacuation from Syria in just a couple months. Russia has not done so, I believe, because it does not want to escalate with the US at the current time.

The fog of war in Donbass is particularly dense at present time.
Lots of reports of Ukrainian advances.
Some reports that such advances are in fact defeats.
Lots of debate on pro-Russian telegram channels about current state of Ukrainian advance in Kharkiv and Kherson.
Lots of debate on whether this is all part of some Russian strategy or is rather a function of the incompetence and backbiting of Russian command.
One thing remains true, though: the more towns and cities Ukrainian takes in Donbass, the more innocent Russian civilians are going to suffer the wrath of the ultra-nationalists.

Commander of the Western Military District, Alexander Zhuravlev, 56, has also been ousted in revenge for Ukraine’s successful counter-offensive.
He has been replaced by hardliner Lieutenant-General Roman Berdnikov in Putin’s latest musical chairs among his leading commanders, according to international intelligence community InformNapalm.

The longer this goes on, the more parallels with the US Civil War seem to appear:
1) This is a brother v. brother, continental-sized fight that neither side can back away from
2) Ukraine (the South) feels it is superior in fighting ability and will win on the battlefield.
3) Russia (the North) is taking much longer to win than a mere economic/population comparison would seem to justify and withdraws armies seemingly on the verge of victory after taking light casualties.
4) Foreign intervention is limited to some weapons, volunteers and money
5) Ukraine is winning tactical victories while its economy continues to be slowly strangled
6) Ukraine and Russia will eventually have to reconcile and create an economic if not political union.
7) What might emerge would be a major world power.

4) Foreign intervention is limited to some weapons, volunteers and money.
This is not a realistic summary of the aid supplied by US/NATO to Ukraine.
—tens of billions of dollars in support of Ukrainian government and military
—live, real-time intelligence of all Russian troop movements
—US led command centers that “advise” on targeting and strategy
—in-theatre advising “teams” that travel with US/NATO supplied HIMARS
—NATO-trained mercenary “volunteers” serving as shock troops in all major Ukrainian offensives
Without the US/NATO involving themselves this war would be already over in March, when Russia and Ukraine had agreed upon the basic provisions of a peace agreement.

At the risk of being labeled a “concern troll”, MoA’s deprecation of the moment, as a long-time Russophile and observer of Russia, it should be clear to any realistic observer that from the events of the last few days, Russia is currently loosing the war in the Ukraine. Only the imminent “rasputitsa” mud season is likely to save Russia from major setbacks on the Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk fronts. By its end in early/mid-November when the ground freezes, Russia might have enough of the newly-mobalized prior-service troops refresher-trained and integrated into existing subunits, or organized and equipped in new units, to hold back the huge numbers of NATO-equipped/organized/lead units the Ukraine is capable of throwing against it. Let’s hope it’s not too late. Otherwise, the incorporation of the Donbas and Kherson and Zaporozhia oblasts into Russia might be at most an interesting historical curiosity someday.

In local MSM I read that Kadyrov says nuclear stuff should be deployed. (Probably because
of the perceived huge loss of Liman I guess).
Is there a reference or source that that is really the case?

what makes more sense to me if Kadyrov never said so)

I wonder how those American weapons will work in the cold. I do know that they do exercises in Norway and the like but their focus for many years now has been on hot, sandy places and tropical jungle. I’d expect the weapons to be designed for that. And it’s pretty chilly here today.

Russia will always have an adversary to deal with in Ukraine or elsewhere as long as the USA is funneling support against the Russian Bear. The USA will never back down because its money is at stake. Russia is seriously challenging the world reserve currency status of the United States Dollar (USD). If the USA does not take down Russia, then the value of the USD will quickly erode.
The head of the NATO snake will have to be cut off for Russia to find a solution.
Russia has the means of doing just that with its advanced nuclear arsenal.
The question is when? That is a spiritual question unless one is part of the actual decision making. Very few are in that category. And those few would not dare to violate their silence to the world.
From a spiritual perspective, the only insight outside of a direct answer from God, there is Daniel 7:5.
This verse indicates that the bear will have 3 ribs in its mouth between its teeth before it arises and devours much flesh. I think the 3 ribs could be Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk.
If correct about who the 3 ribs are, then watch for a soon destruction of the USA soon after Donetsk is taken.

In case you missed it…. (bis)
“The front was under “pressure” since the collapse of the VSU “offensive” on Kherson and all that was in a view of ongoing preparation and then commencement of referenda–this is so obvious that only Ukie IPSO trolls deny it. Same as the case with Liman which was under the orders to be captured BEFORE referenda–these are all well-known, confirmed facts.
But for people who move “arrows” on the maps (not operational ones–most of them never saw what real operational map is) continue to ignore the fact that the VSU throws everything it got precisely because the country just lost a huge chunk of its territory and [b]85-90% of its GDP [/b]. Well, that’s strategy–meaning achieving political aims of war–but operationally, Russian forces are on the defensive precisely because of a desperate attempts of Kiev regime to gain any kind of “success”, even tactical one, to extend the credit line with NATO.
Period, nothing more, nothing else. They continue to throw personnel into the grinder. This WILL continue for a while, because the only thing VSU can do is to throw wave after wave, because they do have numerical superiority.”

Looks like the gas equation has changed yet again as the B-String of NS2 remains serviceable. Yes, it will be emptied of gas then examined; yet, because it’s possible to perform that, it’s likely able to resume operations, which will again put pressure on EU politicos to bow to their constituents demands it be opened. The flipside is citizens will again be able to mount pressure since gas can again be delivered.
However, “Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Saturday that the gas routes can be repaired, but the process will be costly and time-consuming. According to him, Moscow’s first step will be to find the culprit behind the attack.”
It should also be noted the constitutional procedures for the addition of the new territories are almost complete, and beginning Tuesday an attack on them will be an attack on Russia. Plus, only nine NATOstans want to add Ukraine, a defeat for the Empire.

US general Petraeus is turning hyper berserk with these threats about nuclear weapons.

“If I were them I’d be nervous about what may happen next.”
Ukraine knows what’s next. They don’t care, because it’s their best hope of involving the entire world in what they’ve called a likely, “limited” nuclear war. Well, they are likely to get their nuclear war. How limited it is, for them or anyone else, we’ll probably find out.
I’ll happily eat crow if I’m wrong, but Putin has unmistakably warned that he is preparing to use nuclear weaponry to defend the new territories of Russia. He has put no conditions on their use, other than continued offensives by Ukraine, which expects to be struck and doesn’t seem to care.
Certainly the most dangerous time since the Cuban missile crisis, whether or not people notice or empty supermarkets. You would expect them not to notice, since they’ve been so comfortable or oblivious about everything so far.

Posted by: line islands | Oct 3 2022 15:31 utc | 59

Something people should be thinking about is that the Ukrainians might be using their sequence of attacks to knock down the Russians’ WILL to resist too, and not merely their ability to fight. After seven months of war, AFU knows how the Russian Army thinks. So, if there is any military that knows how to collapse the current Russian Army’s will to fight by multiple defeats inflicted quickly.
That military belongs to Ukraine.

https://twitter.com/trenttelenko/status/1576920243854667777?s=21
The Russian military is in a world of hurt on multiple fronts of the battlefield. There is an increasing possibility that they could lose their will to resist.

Few nations have as deep a sense of their own history as the Russians. Indeed, it was on the basis of a tendentious tract about the historic ‘unity’ of Russians and Ukrainians that President Putin justified his invasion of an independent neighbouring state.
But another word, also with great resonance in Russian history, now hangs over the Kremlin’s flailing military campaign. And that word is: Mutiny.
Remarkably, it was raised on Moscow’s main TV channel last week by the woman described as Putin’s propagandist-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, during the nightly discussion programme on the state of the ‘special military operation’.
The striking-looking Simonyan is the head of RT, the Kremlin’s English-language broadcasting network (now banned in the UK); but here she was speaking to a Russian audience. She was raging about the incompetence with which Putin’s ‘partial mobilisation’, announced on September 21, was being carried out, and the gross inadequacy of the provisions being supplied to the hundreds of thousands being called up to fight: ‘Students, people with serious illnesses, single mothers, people as old as 62 . . . and being handed rotten things, no helmets or body armour.’ Like the invasion of Ukraine, the 1905 Russo-Japanese war saw the much larger country suffer from a series of blunders based on an exaggerated sense of its own military capability — and, to some astonishment, the Japanese won.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11273587/DOMINIC-LAWSON-Russias-forces-approaching-mutiny.html
The morale and will to fight is paramount in a military. This is being steadily eroded by the Ukrainian military with their superior operational design.

People, i find it odd that when 3 from 4 pipelines are bombed, both a Nato member opposed to NS2 or Russia would deliberately opt to make the only one left standing the NS2 line B:
https://www.rt.com/business/563967-russia-gazprom-nord-stream-revival/
Perhaps one of the explosive devices failed to fire, in which case one may expect evidence of its retrieval at some point.
Perhaps someone at the Pentagon finally read their copy of Sun Tsu and now believes in Golden Bridges after all.
Perhaps whoever did it was so confident that NS2 will never open, that leaving it there gave them further opportunity to impose their will on Germany and prevent them to fast track its approval… Yeah, it’s bollocks i know.
More likely, they left it deliberately intact, so that when blaming Russia they could use it as further ‘evidence’ of Putin’s cynical 3D chess move, implying that Russia wanted to open NS2 at all costs and destroyed all other 3 pipes to achieve this. This sounds like robbing Peter’s peanuts to pay Paul in gold, but would be exactly the shallow, arrogant and patronising logic the Neocons would justify to themselves as credible to the public.
While docile, brainwashed Westerners and casual observers may buy it, it does seem utterly ridiculous the Russians would do that.
The whole incident is very odd indeed in its entirety, from its perpetration to the reactions in the media and across the world. This whodunnit is more and more reminiscent of one of my favourite scenes from The Princess Bride:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMz7JBRbmNo
All being said, even a skeptic like me must now account for a few more % points from of nearly Zero that it was still some weird desperate 9D chess move of sorts not by Nato… Why? The latest developments on the front, some of the mobilisation allegations and the clumsy nature of the annexations have bred some cynicism about how in control of the whole situation Russia really is.

The Russian “nuclear stuff” has been deployed since forever (always ready to fire, like everyone else) but in addition the missile forces have been on the highest possible level of active operational readiness since February (no additional response time, everyone is already behaving as if the launch orders and/or incoming attacks will arrive immediately).
However in order not to be a complete idiot one should have some awareness (however light) that this is certain to include much more than “Satans lurking in the forests”. Unfortunately there are plenty of idiots; people don’t want to think or talk about it, and western puppets (aka “leaders”) can’t even understand any of it.

The most ridiculous and hypocritical aspect of Martyanov and his ilk is their stubborn refusal to analyse and assess the reason of major tactical-operational defeats like the ones in Izyum, Balakleya, Lyman.
On the one hand those pompous asses haughtily declare that it is impossible to judge and assess with any certainty what is going on, as we don’t have the same info as the general staff.
on the other, martyanov is happily quoting every second post analysts like Larry from sonar21.com, or Douglas MacGregor, who engage in precisely the type of analysis Martyanov declares as useless. It seems that when this analysis is biased in favor of the Russians, it’s somehow acceptable to do it.
That’s quite a weasely, double-faced attitude. If Martyanov was consequent, he would not repost ANYTHING. But, like a coward, he hides behind the opinions of others and when things go south declares with satisfaction that he will not analyse or evaluate anything. apparently old Soviet movies are a more pressing matter than the question of whether Ukraine will not push forward up to the borders of Russia proper.

From Slavyangrad…..
On 1 October 2022, the AFU command deployed up to 50 vehicles for an attack on Davydov Brod.
The infantry participated in the battle with pickups as well as tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
The reconnaissance units of the Southern Military District, together with the soldiers from the Far East, spotted the enemy in advance. The forward units of the 234th and 76th Airborne Regiments destroyed the advancing formations and shelled them with artillery and army aviation fire.
The surviving enemy infantry scattered into the surrounding forests.
Synopsis at 19:00, 3rd October 2022
At the Dutchani-Nova Kamianka line there is an attack by about 3 battalions of the AFU (a tank battalion and two motorized infantry battalions).
The number of destroyed enemy equipment is counted in dozens.
Paratroopers confidently destroy the enemy.
Apparently, the Ukies tactics spawned counter tactics…

The Italian newspaper La Repubblica rings the alarm bells.
“Putin appears to be on the verge of a new challenge to the West… The alarm stems from a NATO intelligence report released to Allied high commands in recent days. The report concerns the movements of the nuclear submarine “Belgorod” … There are fears that its mission is to test for the first time in history the ultra-silent and super-powerful torpedo-drone “Poseidon”, which is often called the “weapon of the Apocalypse”.
“Poseidon is capable of generating a radioactive tsunami near the coast, being released from a distance of 10 thousand kilometers (a quarter of the globe). And an infected wave is capable of demolishing such megacities as New York or Los Angeles. “Poseidon” is approaching the target at a kilometer depth at a speed of 200 km/h. There is no way to stop this underwater torpedo drone. A warhead on it with a capacity of up to 100 megatons. The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo off the coast of Britain will raise a giant wave up to 500 meters high. Such a water squall also carries an extreme dose of radiation. Passing over the British Isles, it will turn what may be left of them into a radioactive desert. And how is the prospect?”
This Poseidon can swim underwater 500m depth and can go on for more than 3 months, as it has a nuclear engine, it can go on and on, not just 10000kms, and after launching the missile, it can dive down to 1000m. This is what we informed of by social networks, newspapers, but no one really knows how much it can do.

“As of October 3, no advance of the Ukrainian military towards Kremennaya was reported. The AFU are currently reinforcing their positions in Krasny Liman and the village of Torskoe located nearby. Ukrainian artillery is shelling the Russian military positions on the western outskirts of Kremennaya, preparing for the upcoming offensive operations. The village of Rubezhnoye located on the north-western outskirts of the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration is also heavily shelled by Ukrainian forces.
North of Krasny Liman, the assault groups of the AFU are already attacking the road from their military positions in Terny. The Ukrainian military attempt to take control of the villages of Krasnopopovka and Peschanoe located on a hill from where they could establish a fire control on the highway. In the case of the Ukrainian success, the AFU could cut the road and surround the town of Kremennaya from the north.
The town of Svatovo is also an important target for the Ukrainian military. Amid the threat of Ukrainian offensive from the southern direction, the AFU continue their advance in the area of the Oskol water reservoir, located west of Svatovo. The offensive operations are also expected from the northern directions, where the AFU are reinforcing their positions in the Kupyansk region.
On October 3, the AFU claimed control of the villages of Borovaya and Shyikovka located on the left bank of the Oskol water reservoir. The Russian military is withdrawing forces in the area in an attempt to strengthen their defense in the Rayhorodok-Svatovo region.”

Nobody is paying me to hang here.
But you have some points. I am frustrated after emotionally investing myself at Russias side for these 6 months. And I am venting it here on an anonymous forum to make myself feel better. It is not good and I should not have done it.
It maybe also says something about my level of dedication and character, screaming bloody murder after a setback or loss.
The thing is, if the Russians arent able to defend those territories, why did they entrap the people to vote in referenda and suffer punishment for it? Its evil.

..but simply acted as a warning that pipelines to Europe are vulnerable to attack..

The land-based Yamal gas pipeline is still full of gas, has about 5 atm pressure in it. If it gets blown up, cities will be blown off. It is running across Poland and part of Germany.

The NATO troll factories have entirely taken over this thread. It’s clearly a big offensive to destroy the last vestiges of reason and rationality, and to gaslight us into believing that miniature advances are really big successes. When the Russians advanced that much, the trolls denied any advance had taken place, but now it’s a great victory when it’s the Ukies doing it.

It is your own fault that you got addicted to war porn.
Neither Russia’s political and military leadership nor anyone else get anything from your desire to vicariously live off people dying, nor am I the least bit sympathetic that your choosing of the “winning side” is no longer giving you the thrills it once did.
Make no mistake: this is the real world.
Shit happens.
Nothing to to heaven or hell in a straight line.
Either learn to understand what is really going on or find another hobby.
