“NATO in Ukraine is the existential threat to RF – [Big Picture] not in Finland or Sweden…”
Something about this claim doesn’t quite make sense. Not to me, at least.
Russia’s national security is based on strategic depth, meaning its vast territorial space. That’s what gives Russia the time and space necessary to react to technologically superior Western military threats. How, then, could NATO entrenched in Finland not subvert Russia’s capacity to fend off US/NATO in the event of war?
Also, if you want to make a point for the benefit someone who (supposedly) doesn’t understand things, kindly outline the basics of your idea. That’s the most effective way to win others over to your way of thinking. It works better than intellectual condescension.

Russia has bombed a British Council building and the European headquarters in Kyiv in a ‘deliberate’ double strike during a huge onslaught on the Ukrainian capital that has left at least 17 dead.
Video shows a missile slamming into the British building in a fireball explosion at around 5.40am before a second followed 20 seconds later leaving it ‘severely damaged’.
The British Council, which offers educational courses and English language programmes, is run independently but receives sponsorship from the Foreign Office.
Another building that was occupied by the European Union’s delegation to Kyiv was also hit with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen accusing Moscow of a ‘deliberate’ strike and ‘targeting the EU’.
A furious Keir Starmer accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of ‘sabotaging’ any hopes of peace while Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks showed ‘Russia still does not fear the consequences’.
While no EU staff was harmed, a security guard was injured in the British Council attack.

America promising not to share intel with EU????
Russian fighter jet was seen intercepting a US anti-submarine spy plane over the Black sea in a tense aerial crash.
Russian sources have said the flight by the Su-35S multirole fighter and P-8A Poseidon aircraft shows the US remains active in intelligence gathering to support Ukraine’s war effort off the coast of occupied Crimea.
‘The captured payload – traced for the first time – on the American submarine-hunter is of particular interest,’ reported Voyenny Osvedomitel military Telegram channel.
‘The footage shows, beneath the Poseidon’s fuselage, a newly-fitted AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor radar.
‘There is not much publicly available information about it, but it is known to be a versatile system designed for detecting submarines, surface vessels, and for coastal reconnaissance.
Russia’s escorting £60million Su-35S – the Kremlin’s most advanced 4.5-generation multirole fighter jet, with a NATO reporting name of Flanker-E – evidently did not seek to interfere with the £208million US plane’s flight over international waters in the Black Sea.
meanwhile Uk and asspciates have done 47 sorties searching for asupposed Russian submarine versus USA air raft carrier alledgedly..Russia has launched two new missile carrying ships, and a drone has sunk the lsdt Ukr recon ship Simferopol off the Romanian coast .Same as it always was?

RE: Ukraine is wrecked
<< Ukrainians who sincerely demand autonomy & sovereignty need to channel their inner Nicaragua. Realistically, though, once the hegemonic U.S. taps a country for dominion & vassaldom, the efforts never really stop. See the Republic of Georgia. See Venezuela. See Pakistan. So groups like the British Council, whose building in Kiev took a hit today, will remain active in Ukraine until those who *sincerely demand autonomy & sovereignty* oust them. Not an easy thing w/ all the decades of subterfuge & infrastructure. Gen Kellogg's daughter has helmed an NGO that has operated in Ukraine since before Euromaidan. Thickly entrenched.

If the mainstream media wasn’t so totally corrupt, it would be interesting if it asked such scum to define precisely what they meant by “democracy, freedom, peace, ‘values’ etc.
Of course, they could not give such definitions without sounding absurd, hypocritical and self-contradictory.
But since the general public are mostly dumbed-down sheeple, their alleged ‘leaders’ and grandiosely self-entitled ‘law-makers’ get away with a constant gibbering of such empty phrases.

– Former NABU employee Elena K. fled to Europe and claimed to possess thousands of pages of internal materials exposing offshore schemes of the Kiev elite.
– According to her, Zelensky and his closest associates — Sergey Shefir, Timur Mindich, Svetlana Pishchanskaya, and others — used a network of shell companies to purchase over a hundred luxury real estate properties abroad.
– The total amount of laundered funds exceeded $1.2 billion.
Among the assets:
— Spain — 26 properties (villas in Marbella, penthouses in Barcelona),
— United Kingdom — 14 properties (including the Chelsea Riverside estate),
— France — 21 properties on the French Riviera,

The enemy has pushed back our units in the center and on the western outskirts of Zolotoy Kolodez , in Vesyoloye , in the direction of Kucherov Yar (south of Gruzskoye ). The landings and the gully between Vesyoloye and Kucherov Yar are ours.
The enemy holds positions to the west at a height of 184.0 . Our forces advanced to the northeast and consolidated their positions in the Viklechnaya and Prilichnaya gully , cutting off the road to Oktyabrskoye (Shakhovo) in the area of ​​a height of 168.1 .
Northwest of Oktyabrskoye , the enemy pushed our units back from the forest and quarries No. 2, 3, 4 , outflanked our units fighting in the western part of Oktyabrskoye (Shakhovo) , and gained a foothold in the western part of the Sukhaya gully and in the landing west of Pankovka .
From the Belitskoye side, the enemy is counterattacking in Nikanorovka and Hektovaya gully (in the area of ​​the headquarters north of Nikanorovka ).
Fierce counter battles. The enemy is trying at any cost to overcome the remaining 3 km and join up with the Ukrainian Armed Forces units breaking through in the Pankovka area and cut off our troops advancing to the north.
In some places the enemy managed to push back our units between the villages of Rubezhnoye and Rozy Luxemburg (Novoye Shakhovo) .
Fighting in the northern part of Vladimirovka .
To the east, the Russian Armed Forces continue to encircle Oktyabrskoye (Shakhovo) along the western bank of the Poltavka River and are advancing toward Artemovka (Sofiyevka) from the east.

One needs a lot more detailed tactical information to be able to say anything certain about small changes, so I stay out of that.
However the overall tactical picture over longer time periods looks entirely in Russia’s favor.
In other words one can’t conclude much by some places changing hands multiple times, it has happened before and might still happen all the way to the end for all kinds of reasons.
It doesn’t change that ex-“Ukraine” looks like it has severe manpower issues (consider for example the low and/or nearly non-existent number of troops being trained both externally and internally), the many dead (including fraudulently “MIA” and all that), and the general lack of or noticeability of wounded. The fog of war obviously still applies but from what one can gather (and possibly from ex-“Ukrainian” “chatter” alone) this looks like the only conclusion.
And yes it seems to have been that way for a long time considering the successive waves of “recruitment” in ex-“Ukraine” so (as has been debated many times) the Russians are clearly not rushing and instead drawing in as much as they can so that it can be destroyed.
Think of it as one massive and very long lasting and incredibly effective ambush 🙂

Posted by: Sunny Runny Burger | Aug 29 2025 1:21 utc | 149

What I was also trying to say is that it does not defy logic.
We don’t know the scale of the attacks, their composition, or anything much about the details or what kind of support they had.
Nor do we know the scale of the defense, nor their orders, nor the tactical intent of their actions.
In other words we have nothing much to apply any logic to in the first place except what looks like a likely temporary outcome.
Nor do we know much or maybe anything about what any losses were on either side nor why or from what.
If one digs into things and trust the information of somewhat dubious maps and various claims (that could be deliberately deceptive no matter what source) then one might make some general observations on the likely future outcome but this is all really far too much work with far too little factual reliability to be worth it. I sure won’t be doing that but again we know how things have trended so far 😀
Not a criticism of those that try.

Ever heard of recon by fire?
Once upon ancient times, these were carried out by light wheeled or tracked type vehicles. There’s 2 reasons for carrying out these types of action for the purpose of this explanation. Probe enemy defensive locations and strength. Establish line of contact and pressure on enemy forces.
With the appearance of drones acting both as real time ISR and interdiction, these maneuvers are unnecessaryly high risk.
So, small groups of highly mobile light infantry have taken over. The extent of their influence on the contact line is limited by the range of their motorcycles, cover by drones, lines of communication and enemy resistance.
So yeah, a small squad advances x distance before facing resistance. If that resistance is light then it’s overcome. But if support is unable or disadvantageous, then moving back to a more advantageous position is called for.
The enemy could be trying to lure the opposing side into a preplan ambush or trap/firebag.
These calculations are made by some of the most if not only qualified combatant commanders of our time.
The education we are receiving in the comfort and safety of our living rooms is paid for in blood. Don’t squander it.

When did Russian forces first take those locations? Because the official position of the General Staff of the AFU is that there are no Russian units any where inside the Dniepropetrovsk region.
Mind you, it wouldn’t be the first time that Ukraine has claimed to have “recaptured” somewhere that hadn’t actually fallen; they tried this with some settlements in the border areas of Sumy, with claims that were met with bemusement by the Russian side, who pointed out they had never taken the claimed locations in the first place.

This is longstanding. It is background information that most on this board already know.. Ukraine does not draft young men 25 and under. Formerly 27 and under. The stated reason is they need someone to repopulate the country once war is over. And mature men are supposed to be the responsible ones who protect the country.
From personal experience talking to young Ukrainian emigrés everyone just expects the young to leave the country. They are surprised by how easy it is to leave and how minimal the required bribes are.
Another factor is when/if they start inducting younger men that cohort is really small. There are not a lot of young men left in Ukraine. The chances that Ukraine will ever repopulate (with people who think of themselves as Ukrainians) is absolute zero. There aren’t enough men and there are even fewer women. The ones who are left are dim-witted or disabled. Ukraine is demographically extinct.
The young Ukrainians you see in groups in videos are Nazis and war profiteers. No one else has any reason for staying.

Maybe I’m bad at math but
On average, a “Soldier” in Ukraine makes 27500 UAH.

https://bukvy.org/en/ukraine-to-spend-1-16-trillion-hryvnias-on-military-salaries-in-2025/
Well , trillion is million millions , so 1.16 million millions should buy 3×1.16 million soldiers, roughly 3.5 million soldiers.
Now, Zelensky said in January
Ukraine’s military now totals 880,000 soldiers, facing 600,000 Russian troops, Zelensky says
https://kyivindependent.com/ukraines-military-now-totals-880-000-soldiers-facing-600-000-russian-troops-zelensky-says/
Rounding that to 900k and subtracting from 3.500.000.
Z? Where did you lose 2.400.000 soldiers
And why are they still on budget?
But desertions ? According to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office, since the war began in 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have witnessed more than 250,000 desertions. These numbers include both AWOLs (absences without official leave) and desertions from the front line.
https://www.eurasiantimes.com/ukraines-alarming-desertion-crisis-576-soldiers/?amp
Ok, I’ll cut off 200.000
So by January 2025 2.200.000 permanent losses? The hack mentioned 1.1 million killed or mia by January (maimed should be close to killed)
Coincidence?
And it seems the west is paying a yearly rate on the full reserves mobilized, dead or alive

“Larry Johnson is still a CIA asset, fyi. He is indistinguishable from most other Blob assets.”
And all capitalist mass media is a “Blob asset”. Our host gets much of his raw data from such media. Admittedly, some skill is needed to extract useful information from the stream of deliberate disinformation, but it can be done as our hos demonstrates. If you would rather others do that intellectual heavy lifting for you, know that you are still vulnerable to being deceived, and arguably more so.
My recommendation, if one’s mind is up to the task, is to continue to process various (dis)information sources, but do so with the understanding that any of it could be false. One can get useful and valid data even from sources that are 100% false if one applies the effort, though I think it is clear Larry Johnson is not in that category.
