The only real way forward for peace is resounding and very rapid victory for RF.
Given no time to gear up, the EU war mongers, will IMHO attempt a real trip wire, suicide involvement in Ukraine.
A rapid insertion of a trip wire force into the Ukraine in order to attempt to sucker in US involvement (they have no real capacity for substantial force protection, but a small force of 5k would be enough to get wacked and to push the US into the fray). Plus a no fly zone designation, and free channel for ships to Odessa.
Kind of like the BEF in France in 1940, but much smaller in size.
The EU is in desperate, panic mode now, so any crazy scenario is in play.

The USA is is a abandoning Ukraine to concentrate on Greater Israel.
Europe is moving into Ukraine so that they will have a presence there when Russia forces Ukraine to negotiate.
No one wants WWIII. Everyone wants a place at the table when the spoils are up for grabs.
There’s a good chance that a real WWIII will end with a nuclear exchange. Russia might well decide to cut to the chase and attack the West with nukes and hazelnuts. Then that Deagle map of 2025 population will make sense.

⚡️🇷🇺”Crimea has not been attacked by UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a long time. NATO resources write about a certain “super-REB” that blinds NATO intelligence over the peninsula. This electronic warfare system is capable of jamming GPS and Starlink signals, it has been operating in the Crimea for recent months, and there is very little information about it.
It is known that on the instructions of the Head of the Crimea Sergey Aksenov, a group of talented engineers of JSC “Russian Dome” was assembled. It took several months of work and good investments for the electronic warfare system to work.
The system appeared in the spring of 2024, and now with the help of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, they plan to scale it up and distribute it throughout the country. The software is Russian, the element base is partially Russian.”

What a huge tactical advantage it would be if they could hide the country, and an ally like China or Iran one day.
Big technological developments coming out of the East.

World war risk is still high. Macgreggor on judge Nap today talked about the possibility for a middle east war. Lets see Don Trumpioni stay out of that one! I suppose its possible EU would do something really really stupid. Are they sampling Zs supply? Change is afoot. It would seem some prefer to risk it all with one last toss of the dice. The neo liberals can only see it as the wealthy in charge. There are certainly aspects of that true but beware of anyone telling you to go to another land to die. Only fools fight anywhere but their own land.
My there seem to be many nuclear armed countries spouting extreme rhetoric. Could the EU be that suicidal? Israel will glass everyone 180 degrees should the chips be down and Don Trumpioni will not have one word in the matter. Of that there is no doubt.
Myself if it goes down I will take a certain consolation that at least FJB warmongering in 2014 and succeeding years was acknowledged as truth. Its something. Change is much needed and thats a good start. It can not be denied the warmongering elites in the state department do not represent the will or needs of the people. Cleaning out that nest is akin to antiseptic. Is Trumps first aid perfect? No but hurrah hurrah hurrah. If you disagree feel free to go off and fight the faceless bureaucrat scums war. They wont be there there children wont and I will not be their either.

Unless they argue for nuclear war the EU and the UK is 100% drama with 0% content. Including concerning “Ukraine”.
Except for nuclear weapons there is nothing they can do that they haven’t already tried and failed at.
That includes endless “talk”; a constant flood of verbal garbage.
The EU and the UK does not have any of the resources needed to arm themselves: not the brains, not the manpower, not the funds, not the material, not the time, and no support nor unity.
They can fail more, they can fail faster, they can fail worse, they can go nuclear and fail immediately forever.
Any “Europeans” willing to fight Russia are already free to go die in “Ukraine” and only a few have.
There is next to zero actual genuine true support for “Ukraine” in Europe and even less for dying for any reason, instead there are only a significant amount of retarded posers and grifters such as the Norwegian bunker oil idiot and people like that are are an active detriment and liability causing constant damage to those they “support” even in “peace” but especially on any front line or in any chain of command or in any position of power.
None of this is new.
So let the EU go to war, let them and anyone who do not resist them die since they are so adamant and insistent on it.
What we have here is a case of a self-solving problem. Just like “Ukraine”.
I know I will resist; all they can achieve is to murder me, nothing more, it won’t make me fight Russia or China —not even if they invade and take over from the criminals that are in power— and I believe that sentiment is far less rare all across Europe than people —even here— may think.

Milites@419…..other than the mechanics of captured equipment, which Russia leads in, (battlefield equipment is their specialty, they shift on the fly) NATO took all the gidgets and gadgets off their fancy equipment before they gave it to 404.
And at the rate Russia is blowing up FPV drone operators, by the hundreds, trainers, equipment and sundry…..can’t be much left to sift through….seems they got it covered.
Peace is coming to the SMO, dragged screaming if need be, the stupid Europeans pissed their pants, some moron said the EU must prepare for war…..with the USA. If some dumb knut said that, Trump will nut them. Every single person who met in England yesterday has a ‘Steele’ axe to grind with Trump….he knows it. Bring on the Claymore.

Possibly of interest, if nobody mentioned it earlier (I haven’t checked): on the Chris Cuomo TV program at 8 PM EST U.S. tonight, which at least makes some attempts to be non-partizan and objective, Paul Manfort told Mr. Cuomo that Zelensky met with Democratic Party leaders Friday before his meeting with President Trump on Friday. The reference is at 3:45 on the following You Tube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_kouV1OQg .
In addition, Zelensky begin challenging Mr. Trump also from the beginning, until Mr Trump, who started out polite and conciliatory, finally blew up. It suggests to me at least that the War Party — Blinken, Sullivan, the Senate Minority Leader, et all, are still trying to maintain Biden’s former Ukraine policy, and sabotage any possibility for peace.

When Russian troops entered the town, they were shocked to see bodies of civilians scattered throughout the streets.
People were tracked down and killed in their homes, shops and even in hospitals. Executioners patrolled the streets, targeting passersby.
Those who refused to evacuate to Ukraine were immediately labeled traitors and subjected to extermination.”

Why have Odessa been so actively attacked in recent days?
https://t.me/rusich_army/21355

Many are curious as to why our troops have suddenly started actively attacking Odessa and the region in recent weeks. Strikes have been reported almost every day, both on energy facilities and on the port.
The answer is that Odessa has been one of the key elements in supplying Ukrainian formations since the very beginning of the conflict. At some point, the intensity of cargo transportation decreased, but at the beginning of 2025, it increased again.
Transportation of goods, weapons, fuel, equipment and parts that are sent to Ukraine by sea goes through Odessa. There are also large production sites there where UAVs and BAKs are assembled, which then fly to Crimea and other regions of the Russian Federation.
Such strikes allow us to strike at the logistical capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And this issue cannot be resolved with one attack. Targeted fire impact on key objects in the Odessa region is required.
As an example, we would like to show a document from the 12th special forces brigade “Azov”, which requested the seizure of 23 fuel tanks from Odessa companies for their needs.
It is clear that this is all a common thing for modern Ukraine to seize under the pretext of military needs. But due to its geographical location, there are reserves there, so the strikes will continue. And after midnight there was another such attack on an energy facility in the vicinity of Odessa

I also understand that a container ship (MSC Levant F) was sunk recently in the harbour. Apparently it was carrying missiles and sea drones (UK origin??), but was presumably destroyed before unloading.
On the other hand, maybe RF is “softening up” the place for an eventual attack. I know Anonymous will claim I’m delusional, but I don’t think the Red Army was delusional when they forced the Dnieper (at several places) in 1944. That assault was expensive for the Red Army in men and materials, but it was absolutely necessary for the USSR to take the fighting further west. Incidentally, they liberated Odessa during this phase of WW2.
Or maybe the current activity is all just a ploy to raise the blood pressure of Anonymous (/S..)

I’m sure Anonymous is a fine gentleman however he seems to think the Russians are playing Risk where the goal is to take territory as opposed to a war where territory is the battlefield upon which you destroy your enemy.
I have no idea what the Russian plans are however if Russian military history is considered when they move it won’t be where we expect them to. They have a large number of forces in reserve and now that the USA isn’t providing ISR they have the element of surprise.
IMHO the most impressive operation the Russians have carried out in this war was the retreat across the Dneiper from Kherson. While Ukraine was credited with a victory … and rightly so … the fighting retreat across the Dnieper while inflicting heavy casualties on the Ukrainians was masterful. I’m not saying it was anything less than a defeat for the Russians however the manner in which they dealt with a bad situation was impressive.
If the Russians want to take Odessa they will. It’s a matter of time and how much the EU are willing to spend to stop them. I would question whether it’s worth the cost if a security agreement with the USA / EU is in the cards that includes the right of Russians in Odessa to live without persecution and a link to Transnistra.
