The Empire of Chaos and lies at some point soon will find their contributions to the war effort will be ineffective. I know there will most likely be NO effort at negotiations so they have but a couple of options moving forward. Tactical nuke/chemical false flag or a call to war. Look for much more terrorism of all Russian assets anywhere in the world.

@Shocked 3
When you constrain legal recourse, you promote ad hoc reciprocity. Having engaged extensively in the former, the West has vulnerable assets of one sort or another across the globe, most of which would be impossible to protect economically. Which is why Western acts of sabotage are self-defeating. The only thing which has limited the cost to the West to date is the fact that most of their victims have been relatively powerless against Western threats, and the opponents who could reciprocate have considered themselves bound by law and their own ethics to pursue legal redress before resorting to violence with the potential to end most life on earth. Every Western attack weakens these self-imposed constraints and increases the likelihood of extreme asymmetric actions with a very high cost to the collective West, and the soaring probability of an anthropic extinction event.
Russia and China know this and it appears to inform their responses. All the available evidence suggests that Western leaders know nothing, understand less and do not care a damn for any lives. Including their own.

People keep saying we are in World War 3, as if it’s a done deal. It isn’t a done deal, if you live in a city that’s not being bombed you should appreciate the difference between the conflict in Ukraine, and actual full-out war between Russia and NATO.
Besides which, the conflict is more World War 2.1, where this time the Western Supremacists have all their ducks all in a row (om the same side) to go against the two super-states of the East. We should all cross our fingers and hope this thing doesn’t get bigger though, I appreciate the careful legalism of the Russians, ultimately they are looking to win Peace, where as the Armed Gang called NATO and the Neocon Death-Cult that runs the seeks only eternal war.
Let the sane prevail, and do so sanely. God speed RF.

A troll was cheering the defeat of Russians at Kherson.
Here’s the report from that front.
🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡Attempt to attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region. What is known
Since the evening of October 14, the Ukrainian army has been trying to break through the positions of the Russian Armed Forces from the area of ​​​​Davydov Brod, Kostromka and Dudchan in the Kherson region. After a nighttime artillery strike, the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the attack early in the morning on October 15, but were driven back.
The 140th Regiment of Special Operations of Ukraine suffered heavy losses when trying to reconnoiter the positions of the RF Armed Forces. Also, three motorized rifle brigades, reinforced by a tank battalion, were sent to break through by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The infantry and tanks of Ukraine tried to attack under the fire of the Hyacinth-B guns and the Smerch MLRS. At the same time, the air defense positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​ZelenyGay, Novogrednevo and Murakhovka were hit by Geran-2 and Lancet drones in the morning.
The attack cost the Ukrainian army at least 120 people killed. Approximately 15 YPR-765PRI and BMP-2 armored vehicles were destroyed, as well as at least four T-64BV tanks.
By the middle of the day on October 15, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine got bogged down in the attack and are trying to retreat to their original positions, on which the Su-25 and Su-34 attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces began to work.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad/14512

Retired US Army Colonel General Daniel Davis: “Military action in Ukraine in winter can only mean trouble: Although the AFU says it hopes to reach Kherson by winter, Russia continues to prepare for a massive counter-offensive that could begin as early as next month. The results of this battle are likely to be bloody and devastating, but unlikely to resolve the military conflict one way or another.
✔️After reclaiming thousands of square kilometers of territory, the Ukrainian offensive is now running out of steam. And Russia is preparing for the next offensive round. To date, Ukraine has continued to try to advance in both the north and south, seeking to seize as much territory as possible before a significant number of Russian troops arrive. But these efforts have just become much more difficult.
✔️ In retaliation for Ukraine’s attack on the Kerch Bridge, Putin has launched hundreds of missiles and drone strikes into dozens of Ukrainian cities, dealing a significant blow to the country’s energy and transport infrastructure. The loss of power will not just make life miserable for Ukrainian civilians, but it will hamper Zelensky’s efforts to move troops around the battlefield and provide the fuel and electricity needed to sustain the war effort. Meanwhile, Russia appears to be preparing for a major invasion of Ukraine as early as November.
✔️ Throughout the Ukrainian offensive since August, the Russian strategy has been a “bend but doesn’t break” tactic: withdrawing troops from numerous cities while inflicting as many losses as possible on the attackers. The aim appears to be to buy time for large reinforcements to arrive after Putin’s mobilization decree. Since September, however, Russian troops have been quietly accumulating the huge amounts of fuel and other supplies needed to launch and sustain a major offensive; the largest build-up since the start of hostilities.
✔️ The Russian army is growing. No one can predict the outcome of the coming offensive, but the trends are not in Ukraine’s favor. It lost much of the initial momentum of its counter-offensive and suffered significant losses just as Russia began attacking critical infrastructure across the country at levels not seen since the start of hostilities while preparing to introduce potentially another hundred thousand or more troops for the next phase of hostilities. Temperatures in Ukraine have already started to drop to near zero degrees Celsius and normally we can expect snow with sub-zero temperatures from November to January.
✔️ While Ukraine’s energy and industrial infrastructure continue to suffer from the fighting, Russia’s energy reserves are virtually unlimited and its military-industrial capacity is also mobilized. By this winter, Russia will be producing a steady stream of military equipment and ammunition, while Ukraine will be almost entirely dependent on supplies from the West, which may or may not arrive on time and in the quantities needed. No one can accurately predict how this next phase of the conflict will unfold, but it is clear that the death toll and destruction will soon increase significantly.”

Posted by: C | Oct 15 2022 23:11 utc | 43

I do recall some renowned economists discussing the following:

A Profitable Protracted War
It sounds like an oxymoron only at the first glance.
When Putin says that so far there has been no need for massive infrastructure strikes or that “everything is going according to plan” (while the AFU successfully counter-attacks), he may well be telling a half-truth.
Because the conflict affects fundamental processes in the global financial system.
The day before yesterday US Treasury Secretary Yellen said she was concerned about the loss of adequate liquidity in the US government bond market.
Under normal circumstances, US government debt is purchased by:
🇪🇺 the EU at the expense of a surplus trade balance – need to put revenue somewhere;
🇯🇵 Japan – therefore dependent on the States;
🇸🇦 Gulf monarchies – for the sake of arms and protection of the US.
However, with the outbreak of war, Europe’s economy became unprofitable, Japan is selling treasures to save the yen, the [Gulf] monarchies and China because of their alliance with Moscow and fear of their assets being frozen, are slowly withdrawing from US government bonds.
Suddenly it turns out that there are simply no people left in the world who have free money and the desire to invest in U.S. government debt☝🏻
Washington faces the same problem as London did last week. Government bond rates are below inflation and therefore not profitable to buy.
The UK started buying debt by way of issuance, and the US asked the big banks for help.
Neither the former nor the latter will bail out for long. The longer Europe is unprofitable, the harder it will be for the US to finance its unprofitable national budget.
Russia will not rush into war for the sake of it. The targets are big, a kind of crusade. That’s what Borrell was talking about this week.

The possibility that Russia is “in on it” would need to be reconciled with the following: (1) Russia’s reportedly having conducted the first 7+ months of the Ukraine operation so as to minimize harm or even disruption to civilians in Ukraine (despite numerous attempts at provocation by the West), and (2) the many published speeches of Putin and his colleagues that seem to sincerely and strongly project commitment to preserving Russian society, its people, and its culture.
But even if Russia were totally sincere and had the best intentions in deploying the technology you’ve mentioned in various posts, I would expect some future Russian leadership to abuse one or more of them. This isn’t intended as a criticism of Russia: if anything, I would expect this abuse to take longer to materialize than it would in most countries.

From https://t.me/zola_of_renovation/3307
October 11: ” Well, let’s be attentive to the incoming news as the Ukrainians either have experienced something that has gone totally wrong, or they have a mysterious cunning plan, though almost all their actions since September 7 were quite predictable, and I have proved it with quotations.”
October 15: “Ukrainian army moves everything it has to the border with Belarus, including cadets.”
I don’t know where they have placed their reserve forces. Perhaps they are in the final stages of deployment and are about to attack. I don’t really know.
But cerainly they have reached the point where they have to defend their capital Kiev with cadets.
Now something strange is happening. Ukraine provoked a mobilization in Russia with its Izyum-Kupyansk operation, then advanced a little more, took Liman at the exhaustion of it’s offensive abilities. Then it could advance a little in the Kherson region.
But suddenly now it is up. And the clock is ticking, our echelons are approaching. Soon the things will turn very painful [for Ukraine].
Then in the remaining interval (another ten days or so) Ukrainians do NOTHING. No, they’re trying to hit here and there, Krakenswine is claiming a victory in Kiselyovka in the Kharkiv region. But this is somewhat different from what the AFU should be doing.
Every moment there is more and more reason to suspect that their striking units have been drastically worn down. I see no other explanation for the delay.
My analysis of Ukie attrition is ~ 1,000 killed / day or ~ 4,000 casualties, including wounded / day.
4 weeks since partial mobilization started… ~ 30 days….
30,000 KIA….
90, 000 Wounded…
120,000 casualties….
This outcome was inevitable….
Now???

Everybody complains about rich boy Musk. Wonder what he owns? It would be nice to go anywhere and anytime with exotic women. NOT! Musk is bought and paid for. When your friends are mafia what freedoms do you have? Musk is owned by the US Military and three letter agencies. Should he step out of line maybe he will get to meet some of the USA riffraff, Seal Team 101 squared.
Private businessman Musk owns and runs star link satellites right? Maybe not. What if Star Link was just a good old boy network of pentagon geeks who are Space Patrol want to bes acting like Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Starlink-1095 satellite had been travelling stably in
orbit at an average altitude of around 555 km. Between 16 May and 24 June 2021, the
Starlink-1095 satellite manoeuvred continuously to an orbit of around 382 km, and A/AC.105/1262
V.21-091672/2
then stayed in that orbit. A close encounter occurred between the Starlink -1095
satellite and the China Space Station on 1 July 2021. For safety reasons, the China
Space Station took the initiative to conduct an evasive manoeuvre in the evening of
that day to avoid a potential collision between the two spacecraft.
The second collision avoidance
On 21 October 2021, the Starlink-2305 satellite had a subsequent close
encounter with the China Space Station. As the satellite was continuously
manoeuvring, the manoeuvre strategy was unknown and orbital errors were hard to
be assessed, there was thus a collision risk between the Starlink-2305 satellite and the
China Space Station. To ensure the safety and lives of in-orbit astronauts, the China
Space Station performed an evasive manoeuvre again on the same day to avoid a
potential collision between the two spacecraft.
In view of the foregoing, China wishes to request the Secretary-General of the
United Nations to circulate the above-mentioned information to all States parties to
the Outer Space Treaty and bring to their attention that, in accordance with article VI
of the Treaty, “States Parties to the Treaty shall bear international responsibility for
national activities in outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies,
whether such activities are carried on by governmental agencies or by
non-governmental entities, and for assuring that national activities are carried out in
conformity with the provisions set forth in the present Treaty.382

From telegram channel….https://t.me/+b4tb6xdSguZiNDYy
Two hours ago, the 60,000th group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the attack! There are fierce battles. A blow was struck by the “Solntsepekom” on the Ukrainian group.
The entire 34th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which posed a danger to Kherson , was destroyed
. More than 2,000 soldiers of the 200s and many 300s. A bunch of charred bodies and NATO equipment. There are also those who surrendered. Frames are not for the faint of heart!
I report on Kherson:
At the end of the day, the enemy did not manage to break through the defense in the direction of Dudchany – Mylovoe.
The enemy got into a fire bag, approximately two battalions with tank support were dispersed with the active work of artillery and aviation.
About 15 tanks and 20 other AFVs were destroyed, the loss of personnel is being specified.
Excellent well-coordinated work of the infantry, artillery and units of the Special Forces of the Russian Federation
United States announced the supply of 105 mm caliber shells to Ukraine. Thus, it will be the ninth caliber in the ammunition system of the Ukrainian army. Prior to this, the APU used installations of eight calibers: 85, 100, 105, 122, 130, 152, 155 and 203 mm.
The ammunition supplied to the Ground Forces of Ukraine differs significantly in terms of combat capabilities and requires different approaches to training gunners, logistics services, and even tractor drivers.
The supply and control of troops with the use of so many different shells becomes a serious problem. Cases have become more frequent when shells of a different caliber were brought to the positions of artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which cannot be used.
In the Kupyansk area, 152 mm ammunition was brought to the positions of 130-mm M-46 guns (they were transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Croatia).
An additional complication lies in the fact that even shells of the same caliber do not always fit all systems. Thus, the ammunition from the US-British FH70 gun does not fit the American 155 mm M777 howitzers.
It was these overlays that provoked the withdrawal of the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (and after it the Ukrainian army as a whole) from Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, made it impossible for Ukraine to quickly advance near Torskoye and in Sukhoi Stavka.
In addition, the difficult situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut (Artemovsk) is largely due to the insufficient efficiency of providing artillery with ammunition of the required caliber
Gomel, Republic of Belarus.
Local TG channels report that troops are beginning to arrive in the city en masse, incl the Russian grouping of forces.
it would seem that the upcoming events before the end of the month are already obvious, I note that this is not the whole surprise. A little later I will publish information on the “second act”
Some Iranian sources report that the Russian army has ordered new Arash-2 kamikaze drones from Iran .
“Arash-2” is literally a cruise missile, as they say, “at minimum wages”, but with a lower flight speed, allowing the drone to patrol over the target.
As with other Iranian UAVs, there is not much information about the Arash-2, but it is known that it is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 2000 kilometers and has a significantly larger warhead than the Shahed-136.

Ah he’s a catastrophic Russian defeat on the battlefield that isn’t being blared by every western news agency and source in existence. Sounds realistic.
Does anyone else remember the days and weeks after 9/11 and the complete meltdown of American society? Ladies calling CSPAN from Kansas afraid to leave their homes because terror could kill them at any moment. Everything shut down. Fear ran rampant: the politicians, the media, the public. I assume that 90% of the current troll set are Americans because they freak out over everything.
I’m sure Putin and everyone else is frustrated by Belgorod being regularly shelled, but it is a “war” after all and these things happen. The battlefield will ebb and flow. Americans can’t handle that. It’s why Gen. Franks nearly got fired in Iraq and all the embedded journalists got their access cut off. Things didn’t go smoothly for the US in Iraq. The timeline was way off plans and they ended up ignoring the Iraqi army in the field to make the timeline (got a massive insurgency for it too). I’m sure it was because if there was any hint of set back, the American people would have a collective freak out.
Russia could still lose. But that’s not what our trolls are seeing. They’re just being Americans. Cowardly, panicked, and generally fearful of everything.

@Brother Ma #54,
I’m not I Know Things but I know a few things…

What is a “receive pattern” ? Where is the antenna facing up? Antenna on the drone? At drone -operator’s end?

The antenna on the drone or missile. An anti-jam GPS antenna is actually an array of antennae. That lets you play with the phase of signal and do things like null out the signal coming from some direction (try directions until you lose the interference) or do beamforming/beamsteering to create constructive interference and amplify the signal from a known direction where a satellite is.

What is spread spectrum?

Broadcasting over a wide frequency range

….Spoofed to absurd solution?
So drone knows Gps has dropped out , or it computes purposefully absurd location info, so the drone then knows to just use its gyrometer navigation?

A navigation Kalman filter has a model of vehicle dynamics and keeps track of the history of sensor readings. It runs on a loop where each iteration, it calculates where the vehicle probably is based on last estimate + dynamics + noise. Then it uses that to figure out how much to trust/weight each of its sensor inputs and generates a new estimate. So if the GPS signal suddenly says we’re 10 meters to the left, it won’t influence the estimate much (smoothing). But the history means that if the GPS is consistently reading to the left of the estimate, it will gradually “pull” the estimate left (correcting for INS drift). But a spoofed signal showing coordinates jumping all over the place or saying the missile is sitting in Krakow will just be ignored

“……Reports talk about T-55’s, T-64’s ?? So, they must be fixing up some half century old tanks?”
Brian Berletic at New Atlas yt covered this in one of his pieces a week or more back.
Brian is N0 1 for clear *analysis* of what’s happening.

You may know things, but you don’t know s**t about GPS or GLONASS.
The receiver uses two small fractal antennae, printed in a circuit board, which can have ANY arbitrary
3D orientation. It’s on a plastic dome, so microwaves can get in.
To compute a 3D coordinate, the receiver need to get no less than FOUR DIFFERENT signals from four satellites, in TWO DIFFERENT frequencies. In this way it generates a 3D position for precision applications,
with 1 meter resolution. If needed, with THREE FREQUENCIES AND FIVE SATELLITES, you get 1 cm precision
(which is used in civilian and military applications, like making a large bridge, etc.).
The transmitter uses a technique called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), which allow that MANY satellites use the SAME frequency BUT different Code ID. Signals received are very weak and can be jammed
(simpler) or spoofed (complex) by transmitters located anywhere (above, below, same level).
What COUNTS is the SIGNAL LEVEL at the receiver, so to jam or spoof you just need POWERFUL transmitters
operating in the single frequency channels allocated for GPS.
At the input of the receiver, every signal share THE SAME BANDWIDTH (a couple of Mhz). Due to the DIGITAL
decoding, every individual signal for a given satellite is decoded by matching the STORED ID SIGNATURE with
what is received. In this way, the receiver SELECT the MOST POWERFUL SIGNALS to compute coordinates.
The CDMA scheme allows sharing the bandwidth with MANY transmitters. It was used in 2G telephony by some
US operators 20 years ago, but the European scheme GSM dominated the market, so CDMA was dropped after a
couple of years (around 2005, it was extinct). CDMA allows decoding individual signals EVEN IF their level
is lower than noise, and is a rock solid technique.
In GPS/GLONASS, the world is divided in 6 orbital paths, each one separated 60°. There are 6 satellites per
orbital path, orbiting every 12 hours at about 20,000 Km height. It allows that each satellite may provide
no less than 2 hours of valid data (60″ antennae covertures on ground or up to 10 Km height).
To prevent jamming, military channels uses more powerful transmitters. And to prevent spoofing, additional
encryption is added to the signals. BUT, as the receiver don’t know which signal IS VALID, it will select
the FOUR OR FIVE strongest signals. Each receiver has stored the ID data for EVERY satellite, as well as
TIMING of orbital path. It maintains a universal TIMER (like UTC), which is updated by EVERY SINGLE satellite. The timing data is transmitted frequently, and is synchronized with Earth stations spread all
over the world, to obtain an error of 10 nanoseconds for the entire constellation.
Spoofing requires that a bogus transmitter, located around the target area, send FALSE SIGNALS cloning
REAL satellites, only that MUCH STRONGER. To make spoofing successful, it’s required that the CLONE transmitter may compute a CLONE of the actual signals, but WITH ERRORS. It requires breaking the encryption
system, which can be VERY COMPLEX but not impossible.
In the case of jamming, a MONOPOLE antenna on Earth transmit wide-spectrum signals with 1 KWatt at 1, 2 and
5 Ghz. It’s a crude method, but it works. Also, PARTIAL SPOOFING can be added, containing satellite ID plus
JUNK DATA. The receiver will stop working.
The problem with any technique is that such powerful interference can be easily detected and neutralized
from the battlefield (missiles), and that also RUINS the operations of every receiver (friend or foe).
To prevent this, microwave dish antennae are used from far away of the battlefield (100’s Km), but still
they disrupt the operations of EVERY RECEIVER (friend or foe), in the path of the microwave beam.
To use these techniques, a COORDINATION of the use of friendly GPS/GLONASS systems has to be implemented. And this problem, maybe, is the most difficult in order to create a suppression working 24×7.
Also, it affects operations on surrounding countries, which can be taken as “an act of war”, as it
completely disrupt the logistic chain supply. One thing is applying it in Syria. A different story is applying it on Ukraine.
But, if needed, it can be done.

@ 95
By ‘ paid ‘ imams, I do not mean the imams you see leading the mob, or leading the prayers in the mosques. I mean the imams who have worked for CIA MI6 Mossad operations, who know all the twists of the scriptures by which USUKIS violence is propagated around the world. There are no doubt kept proponents of every divisive cause, from Ukranian Wodenism to Scottish
Wokism.
They do not talk in public , but they indoctrinate behind the scenes. Influencers. Instructors in Divide and Rule.

Joseph Biden said; “The United States is never going to recognize this. And quite frankly, the world’s not going to recognize it either,” Biden said, adding that Putin “can’t seize his neighbor’s territory and get away with it.”
Joseph Biden seems to think that the Jew Zelensky and his buddies once controlled all of Ukraine.
That Zelensky, and his bunch of thieves, whose government came to power in the 2014 coup, should get Crimea, Donbass,… everything,… the lot.
The East-Ukrainians did not want this.
They fought a civil war to prevent this.
For sure, East-Ukraine should never ever go to the Zelensky and his buddies.
The Jew Zelensky seems to think that because his buddies conducted a coup in 2014 he and his bunch of thieves should get Crimea, Donbass,… everything,… the lot.
To understand the Ukraine-Russia war you have to understand the second world war.
To understand the second world war you need to read this article:
pre earth.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1174
You need to know that Hitler was a double agent.
There is also an informative article on the COVID SCAM on the same page.
