Still haven’t been able to post a comment at your substack. Keeps telling me to update my profile. Very much agree with what you wrote there. Patrick Armstrong some years back wrote something about “everything we have been told is a lie” and coming to the realization of that.
The brits resorting to low cost terrorism in the war against Russia, the American fleets departing the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. It is like we are approaching the eye of the geopolitical storm.

Thanks knighthawk for the info.
Ukie air defense successes are exaggerated but the trend is unmissable. Ukies have less and less AD capabilities.
Russia should overwhelm existing Ukie AD systems particularly in Kyiv and Lviv before sending in swarms of Ka-52s and Su-25s to annihilate Ukie tanks, HIMARS launchers, troops and IFVs.
Glad to see Russia has restarted attacking Ukie railway tracks that can both disrupt fast weapons and troop transport and create bottlenecks that can be busted by the VKS.

“Immediately prior to the shock announcement that Secretary of Defense Austin was in critical condition in a hospital intensive care unit, this report notes, Russia conducted massive missile strikes throughout Ukraine, after which it was reported: “Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was allegedly killed in Kyiv on January 3 when Russian cruise missiles peltered a command bunker where Austin and Lieutenant General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of the Ukrainian Army, met secretly to discuss mounting an asymmetrical offensive to “bring Vladimir Putin to his knees”, claims a Russian FSB source…Austin and a bevy of Ukrainian brass were tucked away in what they thought was a secure military command center 20 feet beneath the streets of Pecheskry District in central Kyiv”—is a claim of Secretary of Defense Austin’s death attributed to so-called FSB agent Andrei Zakharov, who in factual reality is a journalist for British state broadcaster BBC, about whom it was previously revealed in 2022: “A Russian court has suspended prominent investigative journalist Andrei Zakharov’s “foreign agent” status pending his dispute of the restrictive designation, his employer BBC Russia reported Tuesday”—and this claim was made at the same time the British press began pumping out articles like “HOTEL BLITZ British Journalist Among 17 Wounded In ‘Deliberate’ Missile Attack On Hotel In Ukraine After Russia Vowed Revenge”.
As to why the British intelligence services would release propaganda about Secretary of Defense Austin being killed by a Russian missile strike in Ukraine, this report continues, has its origins in the world’s most powerful private intelligence organization Stratfor (aka “The shadow CIA”) branding the socialist Obama-Biden Regime overthrow of the democratically elected Ukrainian government in 2014 as “The most blatant coup in history”—a blatant coup accomplished by blaming the Ukrainian government for deliberately firing upon and killing dozens of protesters, but on 18 October 2023, the only trial examining what really happened concluded by throwing out all of the manufactured evidence of this false flag event—and with the Ukrainian peoples now knowing the truth, world-renowned American international expert Gordon Hahn, in his just released open letter “CRISIS POLITICS IN UKRAINE: Regime Split, Pre-Coup, Pre-Revolutionary Conditions”, grimly assessed: “Kiev is now gripped by crisis politics…With the Ukraine’s defense lines and army in slow-motion collapse and extreme discontent among top military commanders and across the political elite, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy is fighting for his political and personal survival…More importantly, the stakes could not be higher for the Maidan regime’s coalition of nationalists, neofascist, corruptionaires, new oligarchs, and the occasional republican…Meanwhile, the young Ukrainian state, based on still poorly consolidated quasi-republican institutions and a nationalist ideology, is at risk of disintegration, dissolution, and even disappearance…It’s surrounded by growing threats: the Russian army, angry Ukrainian soldiers and commanders, Kiev’s financial and economic insolvency and dissipation, popular desperation, and the risk of palace or military coups, even a new ‘Galician’ civil war”.”

Zelensky has become a sort of opposite of the image or meme of Christ. Instead of one man who dies to save everyone, everyone remaining in Ukraine must die to preserve him.
He’s a dead man walking. He can’t stop, he can’t negotiate, he can’t run for election, he can’t leave office, he can’t stop lying about Ukraine ‘winning’. Otherwise, they would imprison or hang/shoot him.

Thanks for your reply. I can’t understand why you can’t comment, but at least you can open and read what’s there. Of course, many musical lyrics are about our world of delusion/illusion, and have explained much for many years. I highly suggest this interview with Sergey Karaganov for it echoes much of what Putin, Lavrov, Medvedev, Ryabkov, and others have said about relations with Europe and what that means for Russia’s future. It also begs the question as to who will provoke the next Great Catastrophe; yes, the West but who within the West. And a related question: How long will it take for the overall Western Narrative to be replaced by something resembling reality? And if the current stock of Western elites are so poor, then why the assumption that in a generation (20 years) they will improve? And I need to add this short under 10 minute video interview by Tucker Carlson that I found at Global South, “Tucker Carlson and Bret Weinstein: Has the West Already Fallen?”: Is Weinstein’s confidence warranted?

Posted by: karlof1 | Jan 9 2024 1:34 utc | 211

More delusional bullshit from the Western foreign policy blob, from the Atlantic Council, “To defeat Putin in a long war, Ukraine must switch to active defense in 2024”. Sorry, could not provide the link as B’s blog did not like it for some reason.
From Mykola Bielieskov who used to be with a Kiev think-tank, now with a Ukrainian charitable foundation, Come Back Alive. What the hell does he think Ukraine is currently doing?! This kind of garbage:

With this in mind, Ukraine’s military strategy for 2024 should focus on holding the front line and ensuring continued control over the approximately 82% of the country that remains in Ukrainian hands. A strategic shift to active defense would play to Ukraine’s current strengths while buying valuable time to regroup and rearm ahead of what are likely to be more advantageous conditions in 2025.
Crucially, a more defensive posture would allow Ukraine to exploit Moscow’s pressing need for victories. With the Russian army under huge political pressure to advance, Ukrainian commanders would have plenty of opportunities to steadily bleed out Putin’s invasion force, much as they are currently doing at Avdiivka.

It is Russia that is bleeding Ukraine 10:1 with its massive advantages in artillery, drones, aircraft, helicopters and tanks and it is only getting stronger! Yes, please Ukies stay in one place so that we can easily blow you the shit up! Utterly delusional. Russia is under no pressure for victories, it is happy to slowly bleed out Ukraine with low casualties. More utter crap!

Adopting an active defense in 2024 will not prevent Ukraine from conducting specific offensive actions. The most likely focus of Ukraine’s offensive operations during the coming year will be the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula. This was confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his recent interview with The Economist.

The offensive completely failed, there will be no more offensives against Crimea! Then this garbage:

Ukraine’s success in the Battle of the Black Sea has showcased the potency of Western weaponry when combined with the skill and ingenuity of the Ukrainian military. Further breakthroughs in Crimea and at sea in 2024 will hinge on the willingness of Ukraine’s partners to supply the necessary long-range missiles and other weapons.

The “Battle of the Black Sea” LMFAO, a few meaningless pin pricks does not a battle make! That the Atlantic Council publishes such drivel on its site shows just how pathetic its NATO overlords have become. And Mr. Bielieskov should perhaps move to writing phantasy novels.

@ karlof1 | Jan 9 2024 1:34 utc | 211 who asks
”

”
I watched the short interview and couldn’t help but notice that the shots of Tucker that they went back to from the middle to the end of the Weinstein talk that mostly showed Weinstein had Tucker’s brow with a serious and constant furrow.
I expect you to have resonated with Weinstein’s call for people like yourself, him and other like our host Bernhard (who we have not read of and so need to send good energy to), to do what you can to tell the public what is really going on.
I agree that the medical community has been radicalized by Covid criminality and that they are intelligent but I am not as confident that community understands about our civilization war over public/private finance.
What I keep thinking is that the results of the Ukraine SMO and the Occupied Palestine Gaza genocide are going to result in a historic “moment of opportunity” for the nations of the West to throw off the jackboot of private finance. If our species is to evolve beyond barbaric patriarchy, it will be necessary for all nations to eventually deprecate private finance in favor of sovereign finance as a public utility. I would like that to happen quickly but expect I won’t live to see the end of private finance in our world but hope to see it lose its dominance.
So, lets see a Tucker Carlson/Michael Hudson interview, eh?

About ‘terror bombed daily’. How much of that stuff is going on? I don’t follow the kinetics but get the impression that they are scattered, sometimes a hit in Crimea, sometimes a drone on the Kremlin, occasionally a ship, occasionally a building. Is this a wrong impression? Is there ‘constant daily terror-bombing’? (Or is that just in Donetsk?)
Posted by: Scorpion | Jan 9 2024 2:34 utc | 216

Donetsk has been hit daily for two years.
Along the whole pre-war border it has been daily since May 2022.
That was ignored because it was small villages.
What is also ignored is the plight of the people close to the front in Kherson, who also get shelled regularly. Now with FPV drones too, just for fun.
Then the AFU actually destroyed most of Shebekino with Grad strikes in May 2023, and Shebekino is not a tiny village, but a 40,000 city. That was also ignored.
Now they brought the extended-range Czech Grad, the RM-70, and started hitting Belgorod city, beginning on the evening of December 29th (repelled), then the massacre on December 30th when several rounds got through, and it has been daily since then. Mostly repelled, but fragments fall down, and occasional shells go through, and there are injured people nearly every day. A Grad salvo is 40 small rockets, it is very hard to shoot all of those down. So unless something is done to stop this ASAP, it will be the new normal.
But Belgorod is definitely not a village, nor even a 40,000 town, but a half a million major city, and one of the more prosperous ones too.
Also, the Crimean bridge is currently working only half of the time. It gets closed due to missile launches towards Crimea several times every day. It has been constant such attacks the last ten days or so. The fact that you don’t even know about it shows you how normalized it has become.
P.S. IF Putin allows Belgorod to be terrorized like that, the next step is cruise missile attacks on Kursk, Bryansk, Voronezh, Tula, etc., eventually even Moscow.
If that gets normalized, one day there will be a massive such salvo and it won’t be conventional warheads, but nobody will launch a second strike before it’s too late because it will be assumed it is conventional, as it has been before.
For that reason, and also because several of the cities I listed above host a lot of very sensitive military industrial facilities which will be prime targets for missile attacks, the last conceivable red line is missiles flying towards pre-war Russia. That MUST be answered kinetically, otherwise Russia is finished.

Posted by: shаdοwbanned | Jan 9 2024 2:52 utc | 219

Yes, the vaunted Ukrainian air defense. That’s why RuMoD published a video today of using unguided bombs in the Kremmenya direction.
Of course Ukraine still has air defenses. And with the full signit potential of NATO on its side it remains a formidable adversary for Russia. But every day one side is attrited to a degree the other is not. Those mathematics are exponential over time.

From https://unherd.com/?p=487346

:Russia has had to abandon three centuries of efforts to identify with Europe and instead pivot to China, India, the Islamic world and Africa.”

Which is where it always belonged. Europe always viewed Russia with hatred, racism and contempt. So much so that the first Neandertal skeleton ever discovered, which belonged to a deformed individual, was at first identified as that of a Russian soldier.

“Reconciliation with a seriously alienated European Union will not come easily, if at all. Russia may not have lost on the battlefield or been weakened or strategically isolated, but it has incurred huge opportunity costs.”

Why would Russia want “reconciliation” with the decrepit and American-enslaved Europistani Union, which has repeatedly betrayed Russia? What possible value does Europistan, well on the way to resuming is historic place as a destitute irrelevant backwater, bring to Russia? Why should Russia, given the choice of engaging with the East, which does not hate it, choose the disintegrating and backstabbing west?

“Russia’s armed forces have proven unable to conquer Ukraine, still less the rest of Europe….Russia, in the meantime, has been educated in how to combat American weapons systems and has developed effective counters to them. It has been militarily strengthened, not weakened.”

It is generally a good idea to read over your article before posting to make sure you’re not contradicting yourself.

Thank you for that thorough reply. It sounds much worse than I thought. I don’t follow the kinetics partly because there is just too much along a huge front and partly because most of what is out there is incomplete, disinformation, misleading or I misinterpret it not being a military person. (I also don’t follow any of the stuff on the ground in Gaza – the only video I watched there was a military person holding open a gap in the Gaza wall for Hamas personnel in fatigues to go through on motorcycles on Oct 7 – maybe; maybe it was something entirely different.) In any case, your description sounds far more extensive than my admittedly vague impression.
I was a great fan of Putin before covid which raised questions for me about many things, including multipolarism etc. Am not sure what else he could or should have done and certainly don’t think he is primarily to blame, but the loss of about 100,000 young Russians and 500,000 Ukrainian almost-Russians represents failure on his part along with all other leaders involved. That said, evil was spreading from the West which has been taken over by demonic psychopaths enabled by a dumbed down, disoriented and fragmented citizenry. These things usually don’t get sorted out without death and disaster; sadly, I think we are still only at the beginning and things will get far worse before they begin to get better.

Apparent the streets of Kiev are flooded by “brown” water. Just like the verbal diarrhea spewing from the likes of Shadowbrain and cohorts.
This is wrong thread, but cross over episodic.
“Also Monday, the Axios news site reported that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed rebuffed a request from Netanyahu for Abu Dhabi to pay unemployment benefits to the Palestinian workers who Israel has refused to allow to return to their jobs since the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group’s onslaught on October 7.
“Ask Zelensky for money,” bin Zayed reportedly told Netanyahu, sarcastically suggesting that the Ukrainian president could foot the bill with all of the international support Kyiv has been getting since Russia’s invasion.” – https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-brass-said-to-warn-political-leaders-that-west-bank-on-brink-of-violent-eruption/

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

>>As to why the British intelligence services would release propaganda about Secretary of Defense Austin being killed by a Russian missile strike…
Given how much our government lies about stuff, it is possible that Austin got injured in Ukraine, shipped back to the United States, and then put into intensive care. That would account for the late reporting of his condition: they didn’t want to report that he got injured in Ukraine. Thus somebody had to invent a cover story and they didn’t decide what to report quickly. One wonders how Lieutenant General Valerii Zaluzhnyi is doing.

Posted by: Jmaas | Jan 9 2024 6:18 utc | 231

There are rumors that squabbling is intensifying within the country, since Bankovaya wants to control everything in the country before the crisis worsens and the mood of protest against Zelensky and Ermak matures even more.
The attack now on the “Sorosyat” oligarch Fiala is a bad step for Ze, which may escalate if the parties do not agree. Bankova may go too far and receive a complete refusal from the West to support Kyiv, which will lead to defeat.
Based on gossip, they attacked Fiala, because the OP is afraid of the Maidan, which the Soros kids can organize. They wrote a long time ago that the Soros were fighting for portfolios, which the OP really didn’t like.

https://t.me/ZE_kartel/8203

Bankova’s attack on the Sorosyat oligarch and the owner of an entire pool of Ukrainian top media is a game by Zelensky and Ermak to neutralize the threat of Maidan-3 from the Sorosites and Western partners. We have been talking about this for a long time.
The Office of the President even conducts surveillance on everyone who competes with them and is a danger to them. They even tried to plant a bug on Zaluzhny.
Political bickering in the country will intensify. The main beneficiary of these swings and purges are Ze and Ermak, who are afraid of losing power.
Everyone knows that Ze has developed paranoia, that they want to dump him, and he suspects everyone of this.

@NemesisCalling – 56
“All the back and forth about ww2 seems to point to the greater question that is being pried out from hiding by Russian intervention into the Borderlands: that is, what is the west at this moment? How can we identify it and with what terminology?
Communists will say that the west is fascism or end-stage capitalism which is what they seem to correlate. But this begs the question: why did the west choose to annihilate the National Socialists who, according to communist logic, are a mirror image to advanced-capitalism which the liberal west embodied at the same time? Why didn’t the two capitalist entities (the west and the Nazis) team up to annihilate the Soviets?
As a person who tries to work through problems, I have offered up an answer to this question already in a prior post: simply, these two capitalist powers were warring mafiosa families and the west thought it better to secure western Europe and take on the Soviet Power after the other mafiosa family (the Nazis) had been eliminated.
But the answer above to this question (why did the west go after the Nazis instead of the communists?) only brings about the next question: if we are talking about warring mafiosa families, we can not say then that they are proper exemplars of fascist/late-stage capitalism ideology at all,for these powers must exhibit unifying thread where they would have identified each other as an ally similarly to the depiction of the pod people in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. When one would come into contact with another, they could recognize each other via perhaps an ultrasonic frequency. Ideology, then, was not a uniting force between the west and the Nazis. But the Nazis did absorb many statelets into its fold similar to the pod people method of group ideology/belonging.
This throws a light onto the west. What is it if it can not be fascistic or National-Socialist?
The answer I believe we can find from Martin Heidegger who identified both the Soviets and the modern west as being utilitarian to the absolute detriment of Dasein or the individual’s “being-here.” He points towards technicity as a force that is not a tool nor can be appropriately harnessed by man. For instance: the urge to develop greater and greater means for killing humans seemingly can not be stopped. And no, Heidegger put forth that neither the Americans nor the Soviets had the ability to manage this driving power that is bringing us to cataclysm through the route of utilitarianism.
Again: his interview with Der Spiegel “Only a God can save us” is a great place to start once you are at this point in your thinking.”
Answer:
* Key here is that DECEPTION is a pillar in warfare.
– Sun Tzu’s proverbs in the Art of War will clarify a lot of your questions!
– Warfare AGAINST HUMANITY would thus involve “false flagging” operations and a “controlled opposition”.
– The Axis (& Japan) were controlled opposition (of the ancient Illuminated elites) due to Germany’s central geographical position (Japan’s position is strategic in a defensive sense similar to Great Britain’s).
– The more multi facetted you/Illuminated ancient elites make it seem in existential form, the more deceptive.
– Generals never move without proper (material) arrangements and (immaterial) preparation.
– The difference between tactics and strategy is that the former is the means to win a battle whereas strategy is how you win the war, and which may require to lose a battle.
– Accordingly, the Germans and Italians were sacrificed.
* The End Goal of the 2 (!) “warring mafiosa families” was thus not WWI nor WWII but WWIII
– The GWB adminsitration called WWIII “The 70 Year War/The Long War”.
– http://www.ourladyisgod.com/i-third-secret-of-fatima-wwiii.php
– They use Hegelian Dialectics to bring about gradual changes —> stealth = deception.
* The “unifying” thread between the “mafiosa families” is their Extra Terrestrial genealogical origin.
* Hindu scriptures (+5000 year old) explain that the 2 families are:
– The Naga Serpent led Alliance —> Feudal Trinity in ALL parts of the world (incl. Maya, Inca, Aztec).
– The Rakshasa Serpent race —> Banker led Mercantilists/Liberals in ALL parts of the world.
– Feudalists controlled the land —> static.
– Bankers/Mercantilists control the crafts, trades and communication/distribution —> movement.
– Movement is a pillar in warfare.
* Key difference between the 2 “mafiosa families” is their (spiritual) philosophies:
– Feudalists are Kabbalists.
– Liberals are Talmudists/Qabbalists.
– Together they are the Cabal and who internally compete but are united against Humanity.
– Ideology merely serves as a material veil —> matter is given and hence cannot be veiled.
– Spiritual = etheric = metaphysical = electromagnetism = generative Force and Consciousness of the Universe = Heideger’s “Dasein”.
– Cosmic Reason/Universal Consciousness = Dasein.
* Hindu scriptures explain that Humanity are children of the 600 million Apsaras = Castless —> who were born out of a “milkbath” = genetically created, and who they call the “prostitutes”.
* Russia/Soviet Union experienced:
– February Revolution of 1917 —> which probably was Talmudic —> they who killed the royal Romanov family.
– October Revolution of 1917 —> which probably was Kabbalist.
– Lenin was probably a Kabbalist and was sponsored by $20 million (way over $480 million today).
– Bolsheviks claimed the gold came from the Catalan Spanish revolutionaries… But how could Barcelona’s workers TODAY afford to gift $480 million, never mind 1917 Catalan peasants…
– Gold sponsor was the Rothschilds in Swizerland and Lenin’s train was allowed to pass through warring Germany during WWI…
– Stalin was a Kabbalist – and very pious/humble with material possession according to true spiritual beings.
– Trotskij – as Stalin’s nemesis – was thence probably a Talmudist.
– Trotskij was sponsored by the Rockefellers who then were the right hand of the Rothschild dynasty in the Americas (today it’s George Soros).
* Sun Tzu explains the above (paraphrasing):
– “The Acme of Skill is not to imperil the enemy in 100 battles out of 100. The Acme of Skill is to imperil the enemy without him even knowing.”
– How?
– From within.
– If you’re an Extra Terrestrial you breed yourself in among the Apsaras so to look Human…
– And by controlling not only one side —> Nazis or Fascists or Liberal Capitalist or Feudalist —> but ALL sides including the Communists & Anarchists.
– You definitely control the Green Parties —> think Germany —> Anna-Lena Baerbok & Olaf Scholz —> belicose against Russia.
– Side note: today’s Moscow, Beijing, Tehran Axis of Resistance, Cuba, North Korea, 6 Latin American countries of ALBA incl. Venezuela are truly ANTI-Hegemonic nations.
* The West is Fascist in the New Age sense = Liberalism 3.0
– Walter Benjamin noticed the promotion of the “Fascist aesthetic”
– In 2021 the coin fell…
– Fascist aesthetic = New Age conception of “Love” = positive vibration (and nothing but).
– Fascist aesthetic = “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. A Law of will, will under love.”
– In 2019 the Illuminati (Talmudists + Kabbalists = Extra Terrestrial bloodlines, i.e. “star seeds”) reprogrammed the Constitution & Law of the Universe (I’ve whistle blown about this but mass media has a gag on us all…).
– Fascist aesthetic is now Cosmic/Natural Law.
– Fascist aesthetic = Do what thou wilt IF and only IF you vibrate positively (>250Hz).
– Fascist aesthetic = narcissist driven sociopathy = modus operandi of Modernity (albeit subtle due to Hegemonic presence within all of us).
* Monist Cosmic Matrix (Constitution + Law) of 2019 = Solipsist Moral Nihilist Utilitarian Hedonist.
– Cosmic Constitution of 2019 is Monist = quantum (computer) = 11 positive realms (all negative emotion & throught is now ILLEGAL).
– Cosmic Constitution up to 2019 was Dualist = dual core (computer) = 7 positive realms of Yang + 7 negatie HELLISH realms of Ying.
– Fascist aesthetic = utilitarianism = maximization of happiness/positive vibration for YOU whatever the cost…
– If Your happines means you have to wipe out Humanity in nuclear WWIII then Cosmic/Natural Law of 2019 has your back!
* We have the means to steer us away from the driving force of hedonism;
– OneSmallTown.org
– OneSmallTown.org/tokens
= both grass roots organizing method & payment method backed by Human equity! (not FIAT/Bitcoin/inflative gold)

Obviously, the way airstrikes, especially with gliding bombs work is usually the aircraft have to take more or less same routes to the releasing points. Naato will always make notes what route they are flying, and when it becomes routine enough, AFU can sneak in an AD system closer to the front and manage a sneak attack the next time AC makes a bombing run. Like for example in Krynky.
The problem is the same it was from beginning of SMO. Nato AWACS aircraft can act as the flying radar feeding data into some netcentric network. This enables AFU S-300 or Patriot PAC-3 to keep their active radar off, and thus avoid detection. What is the solution to Nato AWACS? There might not be any solutions, for now, RUAF is simply sucking it up with occasional ambushes (I wouldn’t say this is a serious problem now). And they can hope to occasionally locate and hit some of those PAC-3s or IRIS-T which occasionally are brought forward (much closer to front). I believe there was a Lancet strike or two on IRIS-T systems within the last 30 days in Kherson area.

Interesting that you say you were not aware of the real situation.
That might explain the attitudes of many here, that I am continuously baffled by. They may simply not have the information either. Now that I think about it, the usual pro-Russian Western sources don’t spend much, or really, any time discussing these things, and if they do, they just brush it off.
I saw The Duran the other day discussing what Russia would do when the cruise missile strikes against pre-war Russian territory start, and their consensus was that they will just suck it up and continue doing what they are doing, which is “winning on the ground”. Yes, that was the expert conclusion.
Of course, there is no “winning on the ground” to be seen at the moment — they can’t even take Sinkovka, Novomikhailovka and Stepovo above Avdeevka, let alone Kupyansk, Avdeevka, or Chasov Yar. And it is all because of sucking it up and allowing the AFU to be rearmed.
Now they will start taking hits on their core military bases and industrial facilities and that will be no problem? What world are these bozos living in?
And this isn’t even the major problem, the really big issue here is, for the 2343543654th time, that if you accept missiles being lobbed at you, one day they may not be conventional, but you will not respond, having being accustomed to not responding because these have all been conventional missiles, thus inviting a first strike. Which has been discussed many, many times in the past, by Putin himself, and by some Western analysts, scarce as they are (Ray McGovern seems to know his nuclear war game theory, but most of the commentariat is clueless).
This is such obvious boiling of the frog to death. The only way to prevent it is to jump out of the cauldron on time.

Zorge 244: “At least I cannot see how such a huge army with total western support can be defeated.” – The combat deployment of so many people leads to such a high demand for goods that it can only be made possible through war economy. Which country in the West will be the first to put all its industry at the service of Ukraine ??? Exactly, none.

First attack of the Shahid jet: It flew to the middle of Ukraine at a speed of more than 500 km/h.
Enemy resources write about this with alarm:
“The first photos of parts of the Shahed kamikaze jet UAV (probably 238) on the territory of Ukraine. The first Iranian gasoline version had the index “M”, while the jet version has the index “MJ” (jet).”

Most recently, the Shahed-238, which is a jet version of the well-known Shahed-136, was demonstrated at an exhibition in Iran.
The new Shaheds with jet engines fly faster, which in the long term means a significant reduction in the fire efficiency of Ukrainian mobile air defense groups armed with machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns.
The year had barely begun, and already new North Korean missiles and new Iranian drones were flying. What a year of new things.

It is reported that the photo shows a unified planning and correction module (UMPC), which was given to the enemy in its entirety.

A spent RBK-500 cassette with UMPC, found by Ukrainian soldiers.
It seems that the bomb worked normally, since at the crash site there are no submunitions that fell out of the burst hull; the RBK-500 itself does not have a tail section, from where they are fired when approaching the target.

It is reported that a respected partner, France, can supply Ukraine (or has already supplied) another 85 Scalp-EG aircraft cruise missiles, in addition to the previously supplied 50 missiles transferred in 2023. source: @bmpd_cast

(After which there are the Taurus cruise missiles, 910 if the Wikipedia info is correct)

Germany would be the first. Germans are ready to sacrifice everything for this war. Almost two-thirds of Germans in the survey expressed a desire for current German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to hand over his post during the current legislative period to current Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.
Germans want a war leader, a soldier-Chancellor.
Posted by: zorge | Jan 9 2024 12:02 utc | 246

Bullshit!
Half of the Germans don’t even want to send weapons to Ukraine.
The Party of Scholz and Pistorius is down to 17%.
You confuse the Germans with the German Establishment.

“In war, sacrifices are necessary.” 🙂 And even though Ukraine is just a border skirmish in the borderlands, sacrifices are still necessary. You can’t fight a war or even a skirmish without casualties, the trick is to ensure that your own casualties are much, much less than your opponents. Putin is doing wonderfully in this regard.
About this business in the West that civilians are sacrosanct, that its a crime against humanity to kill civilians, is this a Christian belief? I very much doubt it as the West has never practiced that belief in their wars ever. So it is a BS belief, a belief created just for females. Its like with the Jews, the females are taught the Torah (old testicles) while the males ignore that rubbish as only fit for females and instead go for the proper stuff in the Talmud, which teaches that Jesus must boil in excrement and that a thousand goy lives are worth less than a Jews’s fingernail cutting. Yet time and time again, all this nonsense about civilians are sacrosanct, civilians are sacrosanct, civilians are sacrosanct, … , cry me a river, that is just for females. Sacrifices are necessary, some few Russian civilians kicking the bucket or some few places bombed in Russia is not the end of the world.

Yes it can end in a day, but will that route lead to the smallest amount of Russian casualties, given
that it could start a nuclear exchange and WW3 ??????

It won’t, Russia can totally annihilate any European country and the US will not initiate a strategic strike, because that means the US dies too. NATO protection is a fiction and it is time for someone to call that bluff.
Putin’s “this is not a bluff” bluff was called, in case you have forgotten

But if it ends in a day, then some time later it will start again where it started last time. But the goal must be to shake the conditions – i.e. the loyalty of the European vassals so that the USA can no longer rely on them because they have suddenly discovered that they neither want to starve nor die for the USA.

“UK and France have nukes…” They are small, centralized countries. If the russians nuke London and Paris tomorrow morning completely, noone will talk about GB, France and their nukes in the evening.

The sacrificed families are welcome. Pawns are always whining about their fate as pawns but can never do anything to change their fate as pawns, except to whine some more. Hence pawns do not matter, never have and never will, despite all the grandiose talk about democracy and human rights. Go look at how the West supports human rights in Gaza. Since this business concerns Russia I will answer with a Russian analogy. Stalin was not a pawn. When Stalin’s son was captured by the Germans Stalin told the Germans to shoot the wimp. When Stalin’s wife nagged him too much he had her executed, then got another wife.
Russians should be more like Stalin and not aspire to Western “values”.

@shadowbanned
Since we are offering concern, my question would be at what point do the Ukrainian conscripts start shooting the SOBs who keep ordering them into the Russian meat grinder?
I mean you can die a meaningless death under Russian artillery. Or you can take out an officer or two. You’ll be executed for it but you just might make them think twice before they order your mates across the river.

I am wondering that myself.
But you have to keep in mind that you are looking at it from the perspective of someone posting here.
While inside Ukraine the information control is total and the brain washing is thorough.
Many times captured Ukrainians tell how they were sincerely thinking they were winning the war. Even the ones sent to Krynki — they say they expected to just walk forward. That’s all the West needs — it doesn’t need to be winning the war, in fact that is very dangerous because then the Kremlin may really pull out the big guns, the ideal thing is for zombified Ukrainians to fanatically bash their heads against the Russian defensive lines, killing as many Russians as possible in the process. That’s a win. The Ukrainians themselves are disposable.
This again brings us back to the problems with how the Kremlin is waging the war, which is allowing the Ukronazi regime to maintain that illusion of winning it.

Have you seen this?
https://globalsouth.co/2024/01/06/russias-european-journey-is-over/

After all, we [in Russia] are also part of European culture. But I hope that, through a series of crises, healthy forces will prevail on that side of the continent in about 20 years, let’s say. And it will wake up from its failure, including its moral failure.
…
The West is now closing the Iron Curtain, first of all because we in Russia are the real Europeans.
…
Of course, we will not cancel anything, including our European story. Yes, we have completed our European journey [in terms of integration]. I think it has dragged on a bit, maybe for a century. But without European inoculation, without European culture, we would not have become such a great power. We would not have had Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin or Blok.
So we will keep European culture, which the West of our continent seems to be trying to abandon. But I hope that it will not destroy itself completely, in this regard. Because Western Europe is not only abandoning Russian culture, it is abandoning its own culture. It is cancelling a culture that is largely based on love and Christian values. It is cancelling its history, destroying its monuments. However, we will not reject our European roots.
…
Under no circumstances should we forget the old sacred stones of Europe that Dostoyevsky spoke of. They are part of our self-awareness
…
We should not deny our European roots; we should treat them with care. After all, Europe has given us a lot.

It’s hard to say if Mr. Karaganov’s words speak for the average Russian, but from what I can gleam from this, that “Europe” viewed Russia with hatred, racism and contempt doesn’t make Russia any less European, and I frankly doubt that anyone here with a working brain would jump off a cliff if the self-proclaimed European elites, many of whom being in the payroll of certain non-European forces, did so.
