The Armed Forces of Ukraine greatly expanded the number of brigades between 2023 and 2024. A decision that led many to question the competence of the General Staff due to the chronic lack of soldiers in the majority of Ukrainian battalions sitting on the contact line. Especially after the debacle of the French-trained 155th Mechanized Brigade.

Putin has said nothing new under the sun. They are ready to negotiate, like they were in November 2021, February 2022, April 2022, August 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The population controlled by Kiev is well below 20 million, with massive flows outward continuing and young students put to the combat line. Majority of western mercs have fled/deserted, even Columbians began leaving now despite the high pay.
I think Trump has caused disruptions to Ukraine left and right and it will show as increased casualties and lost territory over coming weeks. EU can’t replace USA, they’re lilliputians.
Regarding the EU, Trump is already ignoring EU and froze contacts. Trump admin now only deals with countries in EU individually. Slovakia and Hungary will be the pioneers leading dissolution of EU. Right now Slovakia has a rat problem, hopefully they kick out the Ukrainian diaspora which is causing problems. Either way the Empire will be making its move soon, be it direct Nato military coups in these countries or invading Belarus. Or alternatively they will whimper away and die.

The EU is the 4th largest trading partner of the USA, making it the 4th biggest sink for absorbing US debt. The daily trading volume of Eurodollar contracts is ~$150B.
I could be wrong but I don’t think $150B/day is zero.

Apparently many Ukrainians have emigrated to Russia since the beginning of the SMO. Probably more than there are Russian military deaths. As for the quality, presumably the ones that went East are sympathetic to Russia, so probably better than the ones that went West.

Would someone please explain what everyone means by the term “fascist”!
Here’s the Merriam Webster definition:
“Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.”
Is fnord saying that Tulsi wants to limit individual rights and create a government with irresistible economic and social control to achieve a powerful, racist pure super nation? Or is he just saying “I don’t like Tulsi because she’s working for the scary Orange Man”? Please tell me what makes Tulsi fascist! Thanks.

IMO Tulsi might just be practical, as Snowden is still free, if relocated to Russia. If he were in a situation like Assange was, imprisoned, there would definitely be more of a moral obligation to stand up for him.
As it is, recognizing Snowden is more of an appearances thing, whereas she can only do good as a DNI if she actually gets the job, so it’s a practical consideration.

If those brigades cannot jointly conduct corps sized operations their combat potential is massively reduced. After the Russians realised the inherent weakness of the BTG concept they reverted back to the traditional Army/Division structure. The Ukrainians attempted to create two functioning corps formations but they were used as a strategic reserve to shore up the units depleted by the disastrous summer offensive.

An employee of the [TCC] accompanying the mobilized was killed in Ukrainian Piryatin
At a gas station in the Ukrainian city of Piryatin, an employee of the territorial recruitment center (TC, an analogue of the military enlistment office), who accompanied the mobilized to the training unit, was shot dead. This was stated in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“On February 1, 2025, at a gas station in the city of Piryatin, while escorting those liable for military service to the 199th training center, an egregious incident occurred – an armed attack on a serviceman of the Poltava district [TCC]. An unknown man in a gray balaclava and pixel trousers approached a soldier of the Poltava RTCC and [SC], threatening with a hunting rifle, demanded to hand over the weapon. Having been refused, the criminal shot at the serviceman. As a result of a serious injury, the soldier died on the spot,” the report says.
It is noted that after the attack, the man took the soldier’s machine gun and disappeared with one of the mobilized. Searches are underway for both.

Israel Sends Missiles To Ukraine – Axios
https://www.rt.com/news/611950-israel-patriot-missiles-ukraine/
“About 90 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems have been sent from Israel to Poland, from where they will be forwarded to Ukraine, Axios has reported, citing three anonymous sources.
After Israel Defense Forces (IDF) retired their US-supplied Patriots in April 2024, Kiev asked for the missiles. Moscow warned West Jerusalem of potential consequences at the time.
The missile delivery is the ‘most significant’ Israeli constraints to Kiev since the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022.”

That’s great news, they saved themselves.
I wish more people stood up for themselves and resisted their own murder so I want to point out to the world in general that while a gun can be very helpful one doesn’t need it if one has decided to kill in self-defense and goes for surprise or “accident”. Any sharp edge or pointed object might do, even a small nudge can be all it takes.
Anything is worth /_any_/ try when the alternative is to play catch with incoming artillery fire.
A big swing with a rock in the hand can be more than enough and then to keep going if it wasn’t. Swing like an overhand throw and let gravity help; it’s what it’s there for 😛
A lesson to humanity and each and every one of us to object, resist, and fight for our lives.

On a tangent off of the wider topic it is _very easy_ for all NATO members to reach the 5% goal: just add a tiny smidge more of all that creative bookkeeping!
Include every single expenditure for everything related to and used by the military, things such as pensions, infrastructure, maintenance, disability pay, education, science, child care, and in fact every single item in the entire budget because without the vast majority of them there wouldn’t be a country in the first place! 🙂
Isn’t that what ex-Ukraine has done? 😛 (except only after first destroying itself —that’s too late!).

Once you develop a strategic plan, you then create metrics which allow you to measure your progress to achieving your strategic goals.
If you intend to de-militarize, de-nazify, and render a country eternally neutral, measuring progress by land taken is stupid. Only stupid people say such stupid things. I imagine these mouth breathers, drool seeping from their open mouth, blinking their dull stupid eyes, as they type away, “The Russians aren’t advancing, so they must be losing.”
On the other hand, when someone points out the killing of a Ukrainian mobilization officer – now that is an interesting data point. I’ve been wondering when that would happen. Now we need to wonder, is this an isolated data point or is this indictive of a larger trend? Does this indicate the Ukrainian people are turning against their government and its policies, or is this only one person. Time will tell, but thanks for pointing out the incident.
Meanwhile, all you stupid people obsessing about land, keep on obsessing. I always like having people to look down at.

Russia can’t finance this war for another few years. The russian central bank has interest rates at 21% and is likely to have to increase them again soon. Russia has at most 2025 to ‘win’ this war before its economy collapses. I say ‘win’ because the damage Russia has done to itself reputationally, socially and economically is generational. It’ll be the most pyrrhic of victories if it ever comes.

Interesting, though not unexpected info.

Likely the “quarterbacks” did not take names and addresses of the donees.
The playback should get more and more intense in coming weeks as popular support for the Maidaners has gone severiously south.

I’ll concede it’s a bit immature to reference Star Trek, but I intermittently consider the possibility that Ukraine will end up like the Orion Syndicate. Once a mighty force, it lost some major battles and the organization devolved into being just a crime syndicate. They became pirates, and even flesh peddlers.
We have the precedent of when the old Soviet Bloc broke up, and all the former intelligence officers of those countries started looking for ways to make a buck, but with Ukraine it will be far worse because, dollars to donuts, groups like Azov have already stockpiled vast amounts of gear, from heavy automatic weapons to shoulder launched missiles that can take down airlines.
They have the ability to start up a mafia that could match any we’ve seen before. Well, I’m just someone posting on the internet, and no doubt all the intelligence agencies from Moscow to Paris to London to Washington have already considered the possible outcomes of a collapse of the Zelenskyy regime. Maybe a caretaker government of what eventually remains of Ukraine that is funded to prevent the above is the answer, and it’s what both Trump and Putin will agree on.

The Orion Syndicate was a criminal organization created and maintained by the Orions. The Syndicate’s activities included gambling, racketeering, smuggling, piracy, slave-trading, extortion, and assassination.

Babel 17@2302 Feb 1
Assessing the outlook of the ruling collective in the Kremlin; it is apparent that Russia, after the surrender by colonels and a few generals of the AUF…will dictate some terms, sweetened by the prospect of the possibility of becoming the founding fathers of a NovaUkrainia amongst those folks who prefer The Ukraine dialect to proper Russian…as well as granted shipping and warehousing permission in and around Odessa…will happily accept the terms.
Primary of those terms would be the chopping off the tail of the Bolshevik establishment of Ukraine SSR…to wit Stalin’s decision to absorb, after the Soviet victory in WWII; the highly Westernized and thoroughly deracinated populations of Galicia and nearby oblasts.
That region would not become part of NovoUkrainia. They would be a totally disarmed micro-state which would be thoroughly fenced in on their eastern borders, while being “protected” by the armed forces of a consortium consisting of Belarus, NovoUkrainia, Russia and Poland.

Col. Daniel Davis and JohnMearsheimer talked with each other on Daniel Davis’ YouTube channel about the situation in the Ukraine.
“John Mearsheimer: There’ll be No Ceasefire in Ukraine”
In that video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CFhQy-yUgw (length: 12 minutes)
a piece of text is visible/being displayed that reads as follows (in bold italics):
“As for Russia’s line on Ukraine, it remains unchanged. It’s important for us that the tasks of the SVO (SMO) are accomplished. They are ….. the incorporation into the Russian Federation of the DNR, (Donetsk), LNR(Luhansk), Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the republic of Crimea and Sevastopol…
We are particularly concerned that the violent coercion of neo-nazi ideology, along with ardent Russophobia, are destroying Ukraine’s once prosporous cities, including Kharkov, Odessa, NIkolaev, and Dnepropetrovsk.
It is not excluded that in the coming year, Ukraine will cease to exist at all.”
Mearsheimer thinks that Russia will take the 4 most eastern oblasts. He thinks that “it’s likely” that Russia as the war continues to grind on the chances of the Ukraine also losing another 1 to 4 oblasts (including Odessa, as hinted above) will gradually grow.
I think this story (taking 8 oblasts + collapse) will continue to be “circulated” as long as Russia doens’control the 4 most south eastern oblasts.
Russia wants to 1) the Ukraine to never join NATO 2) the Ukraine to become a neutral country. I think the text above (in bold italics) is meant as a threat when the West won’t listen to the russian warnings/demands.
I don’t think Russia REALLY wants the Urkaine to fully collapse / cease to exist because then the Ukraine would remain a constant headache not only for Russia but for Europe AS WELL. Russia wants – like so many other countries in the world – stability instead of constant instability.
The video also refers to following article:
