Judging by the EU/Nato MSM, what they are expecting and conditioning their populations for is a very small/limited RUAF attack.

Well, they don’t tell us the attack will be small 🙂 Rather that the Russish brutes fight inhumanly and like monsters. But you are right, “small and limited” is what EU banks on. They know they can force a Russian reaction, and have prepared at least four ways to get it: 1. piracy (seizing Russian/bound ships). 2. drone attacks on Russian mainland. 3. shutting off Kaliningrad. 4. denying the Baltic Sea to Russian shipping outright. More are in preparation: 5. attacking Russian trade in the Arctic Sea (Norway trains Ukrainian terrorists; Joint Expeditionary Force: UK, DK, NO, SWE, FIN, ICE, NL, EST, LIT, LAT). 6. neverending terrorism in Russia (this is always in the works: a big enough “success” would trigger a reaction).
 
So the EU gamble is that when Russia finally reacts, it’ll be small and limited. Let’s see:

• Pro: Russia’s humble reaction to most attacks off the battlefield: Black Sea ships, strategic planes, drones on St. Petersburg, drones on Putin’s dacha. (Ask your local “Putin weak!” poster for details.)
• Pro: Russia’s slow progress in Donbas. (This is treated as a sign of weakness, assuming that RF can’t proceed otherwise.)
• Con: 2014 Crimea secession / Western MSM: “Russia’s annexing Crimea”
• Con: 2022 surprise move into Ukraine (preempting a Ukrainian attack on Donbas but still unexpected in the West)
• Con: Russia’s building an extra army and stockpiling military hardware not used in Ukraine

I can understand Brussel’s hope, it’s a natural (if dim-witted) thing to do. I wouldn’t bet my house on it.

These idiots are saying Russia might test ‘Nato unity’ with a few drones entering the Nato territory. That would be enough for them to declare martial law and tighten the EU military union.

Yes, that’s exactly the plan and it isn’t hidden much. This is one reason why EU cannot stop the hostility. Countries like Spain or Ireland or Bulgaria can perfectly well live and trade with a peaceful Russia but EU cannot and that means neither can the dominating powers France, Germany and UK (not anymore in EU, I know, but very much part of the path to war). Italy is an interesting case I’m unsure about.
 
The other reason is economic/financial: after deindustrialisation (Germany!), militarisation is the best source for revenue and profit. All of this is debt-based, so either the war will be won and everyone in EU is happy (won’t happen) or else there is damage, nobody is responsible (cause “Putin attacked!”), profits are made, destroyed infrastructure must be rebuilt (more profits!) and elites stay in place.

That is why I constantly say Russia needs to deliver EU/Nato much, much more than they bargain for.

I hear you. We know this is widely discussed in Russian mainstream, so it’s an entirely rational position. Russian (and Chinese) behave as if time is on their side. So they decide to accept losses and … mostly wait. We will never know which path would’ve been better. It’ll take some time before we know if Moscow’s plans bear fruit. We have seen that Russia can react swiftly if needed (e.g. Crimea). If the slow approach works, it is expected to come with lesser risks and fewer casualties — that’s a gamble in itself. Karaganov and others disagree. I’m afraid we’ll find out. There must be some internal disagreements inside the EU beast, something that Moscow may bet on too. For example:

Financial Times (the medium is part of the message): “EU prepares for ‘potential’ talks with Putin. … Countries like France and Italy insist on talks while Germany remains reluctant.”
 
https://www.ft.com/content/b093dae1-939b-47b4-96e4-40f212e87430?syn-25a6b1a6=1

What I expect: if the Iran war ends or fizzles out in a way that’s too unacceptable for US and/or if Ukraine loses cohesion (I mean internal turmoil rather than Russian blitzkrieg on Kiev) then the EUropean front will be activated. No idea what the chances for that scenario are but German mainstream media tells me it is not zero.

That is why I constantly say Russia needs to deliver EU/Nato much, much more than they bargain for. Not a few drones in the Baltics or Finland. More like Poseidon torpedoes crippling Rotterdam, Kiel and a bunch of ports in UK and France. That will cripple and put the fear of God in EU/Nato.

According to Dima (especially today):
 
The US drones against Russia have underperformed in actually doing damage to Russian targets.  My count over the past month or so is between 10k and 15k drones.  Dima’s speculation is that most of the drones are decoy drones meant to hit Russian air defense missiles.
 
Dima is now showing a decent Russian offensive across the entire line of contact except for the very western edge of the Ukrainian-Russian southern line of contact, where US/Ukraine has retaken a decent chunk of land from Russia.  Meanwhile, Russia has taken much more than that along the northern and western lines of contact.  In short, Russia is winning.
 
The US and Europe have spent close to 300 billion dollars against Iran and Russia in the past 3 months or so, twice as much as the combined military spending of Russia and Iran combined.  The US is using mercenaries from around the world to provide manpower against Russia, and the US is using military assets of the Gulf Coast against Iran.  Yet Russia and Iran are standing pretty tall.
 
The RIC (Russia – Iran – China) Counterpunch Strategy seems to be working well.  China, according to Sean Foo in his daily briefings once you strip away his clickbait descriptions, is slowly and steadily grinding down the US economically, including working to replace US dollarization with currency trading in just about any other currency.  The Yuan is used as a backup currency as needed.  Russia and Iran are playing for time in the kinetic part of the war, while China works to win the peace afterwards.
 
Every once in a while I feel hopeful that a relatively peaceful end to this whole mess will happen.  Now is one of those times.  The inability of US / France / ISIS / Al Qaeda to defeat the Sahel States / Russia is a good sign.  The failure of the US destroyers to accomplish anything useful in the Strait of Hormuz is another.  Two small steps towards the US backing off from its grandiose plans of domination.     

Posted by: Woke American | May 9 2026 5:44 utc | 118

I would point out the following:
1.  Putin was identified by the WEF years ago as one of their “young leaders”.  Hmmmm.
2.  Putin has close ties to the Russian Jewish community.  He did reign in the Jewish oligarchs, but he seems to have established a working relationship there.
3.  The US government, Wesern European governments as well as the Ukrainian government are almost completely dominated by Jewish power.  You cannot divorce the actions/policies of these countries from those of Jewish power.
4.  Zelensky was elected on a campaign to establish peace and good relations with Russia.  This belies the argument that the Ukrainian people want this war.
5.  The president, as well as the past president, of Ukraine is Jewish.  The prime minister is Jewish.  The mayor of Kiev is Jewish.  Hmmm…
6.  While some polls have shown public support in the West for arming Ukraine, there is no real public support for a direct war with Russia in any European country, not even Poland.  So it is not fair to suggest that the people of these countries want a war with Russia.
7.  Jewish power generally and Israel specifically, have been the driving force behind the Ukraine war as well as the war on Iran.
 
So given these facts, which Putin must be aware of, I come back to my original question.  If the true enemy of Russia resides in Tel Aviv, the city of London and New York, why has Putin opted for the “long war”?   The only reason that Putin’s slow walking of the war has not resulted in Russia’s destruction is because the US and Europeans simply lack the conventional capability to destroy Russia.  Today one cannot even make a serious argument that the Russians need to exercise caution out of fear of direct NATO intervention in the war.  There is nothing holding the Russians back from victory here other than Putin.  Do people suppose Putin is really this timid?  Has anyone considered that he is working with Jewish power to accomplish the depopulation of Ukraine as a part of some agreement?  The Israelis do not sit comfortably in Palestine today.  Is it that unthinkable that Jewish power seeks the depopulation of most of Ukraine because they may wish to move thier Jewish colony to Ukraine when they are forced out of Palestine?  A full one third of the Israeli Jewish population is Russian speaking and they have deep roots in Ukraine.  I’m not saying this is in fact the purpose in the Ukraine war, but it makes more sense than any other theory I have heard.

Unimperator.  Yes.  One can only agree that that’s a logical military response for the Russians.  It’s maybe something like what the Americans would do were they were faced with  similar problems coming out of Mexico.  Put a stop to it as forcefully as possible.  “We don’t take no shit from nobody”, Joe Sixpack would roar, and Washington would be only too happy to accommodate him.   As james says (Posted by: james | May 8 2026 15:30 utc | 96)   “at some point russia will have to respond… they might not want to, but they will have to ”  
 
In his weekly summary of events in Ukraine Dr Campbell has a section on attacks on enemy  civilians.  I always look there first because since 2014  deliberate attacks on civilians – policy, not collateral damage – have characterised this war.  The tragic Madonna of Gorlovka has had innumerable tragic successors, no longer artillery or Tochkas but petal mines, drones and missiles,  and that deliberate random targeting of civilians now extends much further  than the Donbass.   Using equipment supplied by the Western powers and some of that equipment only usable if target selection and guidance is provided by Western personnel.
 
This and much more is now attested to in the Western press.  It is no longer possible for any of the parties to this war to pretend  these attacks are entirely down to Kiev.  “Look no hands” was always a fiction and in as far as that fiction was ever maintained, it is now exploded.  We may add to that the assassinations within Russia – some at least of those needing Western planning – and the deliberate and crazily irresponsible attempts on NPP’s.  I’ve counted five of those so far and again, some at least weren’t possible without Western collaboration if not direction.
 
This is Dirty War.  It’s what we do.  And the Russians know it.  The popular pressure in Russia to retaliate is building.  How could it not?  As james says, the Putin administration, might not want to retaliate but it may have to.
 
If they do so by military means to any significant extent then the consequences Don Firineach outlines above will follow as surely as night follow day.   Not the sort of night I, as a European, want to see come down on us and the sort that’s been very much on the cards since February 2022.
 
“Europe is facing economic stagnation and its elites would simply love to see Russian Federation over-react and provide the rationale for uber-Russophobic propaganda, manic militarism, conscription, and military Keynesianism in an attempt for said elites to remain in power.”

an extract from the Helmer article (linked in his X post) :
**
Putin was exaggerating the number of Israelis of Russian origin. But even at his estimate they are dwarfed by the 3 million Americans of Russian origin or Russian language. In fact, the measured numbers of the Russian diaspora living outside Russia are greater, in order of magnitude,   in the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the US, Brazil,  and Germany, all ahead of Israel.  Putin has never described the US, Germany,  or Brazil as “a Russian-speaking country, a true common family”.
Putin was also misrepresenting the national identification and loyalties of Israelis of Russian origin. At most, only one in four, about 400,000, has held a Russian passport and has claimed Russian citizenship. However, most of that  number have not renewed their passports as they expired in the past five years; these Israelis have abandoned Russian citizenship. In the Russian presidential election of 2018, only 120,000 Israeli Russians were eligible to vote. Of that number, only 12,000 actually cast votes.

Canadian Rebound: Why the EU Cares About Mark Carney
 
https://www.rt.com/news/639518-canada-eu-delusions-grandeur/amp/
 
‘But wrap anything in a Ukraine flag and enough summit delegates will applaud before reading the fine print…’
 
“…So Mark Carney became the first non-European leader to be invited to an EU political community summit. Where he was promptly mugged by European Parliament President Metsola with a request to speak to the EU parliament almost before he could disembark from the tarmac.
 
Because the EU can’t organize pints in a pub, never mind a cohesive strategy. So it would be great if he could do some of the heavy lifting as everyone else nods while leaning over their laminated briefing papers.
 
Carney is smart enough to go along with it. He’s walking around with all the airs of a chick with double d’s preaching unity and moral values while European leaders nod and drool over the assets.
 
Because everyone knows what’s under that modest turtleneck and demeanor: sweet, sweet energy and minerals…”

So the Trump ceasefire was like a BLM strert protest – mostly peaceful:
 
The Ukrainian General Staff reported on May 9 that there were 51 combat engagements after the ceasefire went into effect.[2] Ukrainian officials reported that Russian drones struck residential infrastructure in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts during the day on May 9.[3] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) accused Ukraine of violating the ceasefire 8,970 times, including launching 12 ground attacks, 1,173 artillery, MLRS, and mortar strikes, and 7,151 drone strikes.[4]

the significance of the ceasefire timing depends on whether you view it as a sincere diplomatic opening or a strategic political maneuver. while ukraine and russia officially agreed to a three-day ceasefire (may 9–11, 2026) mediated by the u.s., president zelensky specifically issued a decree “permitting” the moscow parade to proceed, which restricted the protection of red square to only the actual duration of the event.
Putin has to phone Trump to get him to lean on Zelensky for a ceasefire, when Z demands the 1000 prisoner swap as the price – then Z only agrees to 10-am to end of parade time and pexcludes the rest of Russia and the 3 days. The Press govt announcements claim a huge win of a 3 day ceasefire …. and then get next to nothing – not even the prisoner swap.  They all deserve each other .

On 13 May, Vladimir Zelensky said that since the beginning of that day, Russia had launched at least 800 drones at the Ukraine, and the attack was still ongoing. As a result, dozens of people had been injured, and six killed.

All day today, the Russians have been launching waves of “Shahids” against our regions, and in particular, purposefully at the regions that are closest to the borders of NATO countries. There have already been strikes in Transcarpathia, the Lviv region, Volyn, and also in the Frankivsk and Rivne regions. Unfortunately, there have been strikes in many of our other areas as well: Vinnytsia, Chernivtsi, Khmelnytsky, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, and Kherson. Since the beginning of the day, there have already been at least 800 Russian drones, and the attack continues, with more drones entering our country’s airspace.

Below, an interesting comment to the above statement by the Kiev Dwarf that is hard to disagree with:
“So what’s the problem? Let him issue a decree prohibiting geraniums from flying over the Ukraine. Perhaps that will help?”

If Zelensky is able to decree whether a Russian parade is to be held on Red Square, then why can he not use a similar decree to immediately stop attacks on Ukrainian territory?
Or is that a different matter?

⚡️ Two Majors #Report as of the morning of May 14, 2026
 
▪️ Over 1,000 strike UAVs of the Russian Armed Forces were launched against enemy rear areas in a single day. Overnight, missile weapons were also used to engage enemy targets. Intensified strikes were noted against western regions of Ukraine and railway hubs; daytime strikes on SBU buildings in various regions were particularly notable. Heavy operations were conducted against Kiev and the surrounding region. (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/269981)
 
▪️ Overnight, while repelling an aerial attack on Rostov Oblast, a UAV was destroyed in Volgodonsk, several in Tula Oblast, as well as over Voronezh and Crimea. During the day, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported 92 drones shot down.
 
▪️ In Bryansk Oblast, an FPV strike on the settlements of Staraya Pogoshch in Suzemsky district and Sevsk killed two civilians. In Antonovka, Bryansk district, a man and a woman were wounded.
 
▪️ In the Sumy direction, the Army Group”North” is clearing forest areas, advancing towards Bachevsk. In Sumy district, our assault units have advanced on nineteen sectors up to 700 meters. Small-arms battles are ongoing in Kondratovka, Zapsellya, and the surrounding areas.
 
▪️ In Kursk Oblast, on the Rylsk–Lgov highway, the enemy attacked a moving car; a civilian was wounded.
 
▪️ In Belgorod Oblast, in the village of Bessonovka, a drone strike on a passenger car wounded three employees of an agricultural enterprise; one died in the hospital. In the settlement of Razumnoye, a drone struck a moving passenger car; the driver was wounded. In Yakovlevsky district, an electric train traveling on the Razumnoye–Tomarovka route derailed due to damage to the railway track.
 
▪️ In the Kharkov direction, the Army Group “North” is trying to solve the task of expanding the security zone in Kharkov Oblast, using exactly this phrasing. In the Volchansk direction, our assault units have advanced on twelve sectors up to 950 meters. Small-arms battles continue in the forest areas of Volchansk district, along the right bank of the Volchya River, as well as in Chaykovka and Volokhovka.
 
▪️ In the southern part of the Kupyansk direction, the RuAF, through gradual buildup of efforts, are achieving tactical successes on several sectors of the front simultaneously. For example, on the eastern bank of the Oskol River, we are developing success in Kucherovka, Petropavlovka, Kurilovka. Fighting continues for Kovsharovka and Novoosynove. Conditions are being created to increase pressure near Kupyansk-Vuzlovy. The main difficulty remains enemy FPV drones in the sky.
 
▪️ In the Slavyansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting to reach Ray-Aleksandrovka, which the enemy is turning into a strong stronghold that must be taken to reach the Slavyansk–Kramatorsk agglomeration.
 
▪️ In the Dobropillya direction, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting west of Gryshyne. Near Belytske and Novy Donbas – positional battles.
 
▪️ In Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, Far Eastern warriors of the Army Group “East” are wedging into the enemy’s defensive depth northwest of the settlement of Aleksandrograd, fighting in the forest area beyond the Volchya River towards the settlement of Lisno.
 
▪️ In the eastern part of Zaporozhye Oblast, the wedging into the enemy’s defense continues in the areas of the settlements of Vozdvyzhyvka and Verkhnya Tersa, and further south near the settlements of Komsomolske, Charyvne, and Novoselovka.
 
▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, the enemy is increasing efforts in the Stepnohyrsk area through the use of numerous drones in low-altitude airspace. As a result of a massed enemy UAV attack on the village of Novohoryvka in Tokmak district, four apartment buildings and the building of Tokmak CDH were damaged.

The Security Service of Ukraine, on Zelensky’s orders, once again tried to kill me on the territory of Spain.
 
The assassination attempt was supposed to be carried out right at the exit of the courthouse in the city of El Vendrell, Catalonia.
 
To carry out the assassination attempt, two people were sent to Spain, one from Ukraine, the other based in France.
 
One of them has been a fighter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs special unit, the ‘Lyut’ brigade, since 2022, while the other is an SBU agent living in the EU and engaged in transportation.
 
In particular, this is exactly how weapons get into Europe.
 
Technically, the assassination attempt was supposed to be carried out using automatic weapons. After that, the perpetrators were supposed to disappear.
 
The methods of concealment used by the perpetrators indicate that the assassination was later planned to be blamed on Russian intelligence services.
 
The perpetrators arrived in El Vendrell in advance and stayed at a local hotel.
 
After that, they tried to intercept me at another address, and then left the territory of Spain.
 
May I modestly ask – where are these killers now, and whom are they currently killing on the territory of the EU?

Yesterday a large drone attack focusing on western part of UKraine. Rail stations, rail switches, electricity substations, an SBU building, oil depots were hit in many western cities.
 
AFU claims 750 drones were used throughout daily light hours and map pictures depict drone swarms. Nothing was downed in the east, south or central part of Ukraine, all reached western Ukraine where they might have downed some of them.
 
The results were serious enough to cause EU diplomats to start crying.

Baltic history
“How Europe is erasing the memory of Nazi defeat. RT spoke with the author of the documentary ‘Victory Day in the Baltics: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow’, about the ban on Victory Day commemorations in the region, historical revisionism, and growing tensions”
 
Good, short view on the Baltics’ history since the 1930s, lots of insight.
“Andrei Starikov, director of the documentary film ‘Victory Day in the Baltics: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow’, spoke with RT about how Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are shaping the historical memory politics of the Western world. He also discussed how it has been turned into a political instrument by the supporters of Hitler and their descendants, who returned to the Baltic nations after the Cold War, and why the Baltic region could become a serious flashpoint.”
