Mister Putin: “We are Russia. We deny your Collective. Go away or get vaporized.”
Well i am curious how this will go. If there will be people in russia to resist this.
I don’t know if this is true cause it is from german radio but they said that
flights from russia to turkey and armenia have grown significantly in the last hours.
The main question still stays how to end a war if both sides are unwilling to compromise.
If the referendum is successfull and russia adds these territories then there is no way any
russian polititian can give them up again.
On the other hand the western polititians have gone so far to show there stance that this
will never be accepted and i think with crimea they are still holding on to the sanctions
that where implemented in 2014.
So if no side defeats the other in a significant way (russia or the west) we seam to be
heading into a world of two blocks and some kind of new nonaligned movement
where the non aligned states will be the brokers between two blocks who will potentially
ban any trade inbetween each other.
But for even this to work china needs to show support by braking the trademarks of the west
and building anything the eastern block needs cause they have the factories and the knowhow.
I have yet to see the neccesary determination from china for this.
Russia can consider themselves lucky the US is to stupid to wait with the Taiwan conflict and try
to bribe china with some kind of deal to take them out of the game.
In The Netherlands we have a political oppositional party called Forum for Democracy and recently it’s leader Thierry Baudet called this conflict among all other conflicts in fact a spiritual war. And that’s exactly it, we as mankind are fighting against each other in a spiritual war. On the one side we see the globalists who think they can play for God and on the other side we see nationalists who believe things are as God meant them to be. You don’t have to believe in God to feel this is true. The globalists want to be God to control everything and everyone. This is so much more than a piece of land. So much more than just safety for Russia. It’s existential, for the whole world. And of course many Russians too are conditioned by the globalists, they don’t want to fight this spiritual war. Not realizing this is exactly the most important war in this cycle of human history. It’s so much bigger than most people really realise.
@Niccos
This conflict has a multi layers configuration, and one of these layers is “the spiritual” factor. Since the coup in 2014 I have sensed “a dark cloud” like in the movie Independence Day to envelop my interior world. Politicians in many nations, following WEF dictates or Soros, have tried to “enslave” the human race in a variety of different ways. The Liberal Globalist tentacles have stretched themselves from the physical “color revolutions” to the control of minds and souls. And now they want the destruction of industries, the sacrifice of people jobs so the social economical structures of the nations will disappear. And what will be left? They will be the God of the new society, they will have “the power of life and death”, they will horde people to whenever and to whatever project they want because they will have the power to give food, medicine or not!. I pray for the Russian victory, because they fight for all of us.
We all are Z…..
“I don’t know if this is true cause it is from german radio but they said that
flights from russia to turkey and armenia have grown significantly in the last hours.”
STOP reading or watching mainstream media. I stopped 23 years ago (war in Serbia). When I do it, once in a year, it is just for fun, to see the BS they write / say. 99.9 % is PROPAGANDA.
Stop believing them,it is very good for your soul.
Totally agree. I stopped as well watching, reading and listening the MSM 15 years ago. It is a “liberation”. No more manipulation, lies and BS in my head.
Any way you slice it, things are not going to plan. This is “the fog of war”, where everyone’s plans fall apart once the shooting starts. I believe the Russians seriously underestimated the collective west’s determination to maintain the status quo. They understand it now, and are taking measures necessary to bring about victory. Once the referendums are passed, the cat & mouse games are over. Let us pray this doesn’t escalate into nuclear weapons use, because I fear once leviathan discovers he has lost, he will deploy the “Sampson Strategy”. Now, go wrap this up before Christmas, it’s getting late. Next, focus on treacherous Estonia and Finland.
I believe the Russians knew what they faced all along, and from the start.
It’s more a matter of the “collective west’s” profound inability to assess their own field battle performance outside of a tv screen or podcast. Leaving them dumbstruck when it comes to ensuring accurate self-appraisals and not seriously overestimating their abilities. Or understanding what the “status quo” really is. It’s this:
They’re seriously close to losing a referendum in 4 Oblasts. And their sense of self-preservation is more like a finely honed double-edged knife set. When it comes time to fall on it, they’re not going to bleed out for a 404 country. (thnx to LW for that one.)
If the Russians underestimated, ranked a Ukie resistance as weak, then they would have, should have tripled their force and attack with more strength (against the socalled underestimated Ukies force). Why lessen your troop strength and delay victory. You would do the opposite.
If the Russians estimated accurately, then they made the wise decision to alter tactics, not assault directly the big cities, and slowly grind down the Ukie strength, test the NATO will to supply weapons, and calculated what they will need in subsequent phases of a war the Russians knew would be long.
The actual fact of the matter is the Russians used the SMO as if it were recon by combat at large scale. They found where Ukie nexus of command and control were, where the heaviest fortifications were, planned the heavy use of artillery to destroy the Ukie military structure, leaving the Ukie force with thousands of stranded, abandoned and confused troops.
You don’t need a large force to do recon. You don’t need a huge force to do intensive artillery and missile launches. You need superior weapons, dependable ammo and precise targeting.
I fact, the greatest assault on a large city (the only one so far), Mariupol, the enormous amount of men it took to ring and seal the city and villages around it, (15,000 men just to do that, not to attack) was lesson learned. It took 25,000 men and 50 days to clear the city and the Azovstal, and Ilychstal. Just to seal the Azovstal in the last month of fighting took over 1000 men.
Subsequent battles for cities required new tactics, most of which are not know. But if you look at the units that have taken cities and towns in LPR, DPR, we see Wagner, Chechens, and the top units of Russian military, like “Brave” and “O”. And of course, when there is a really tough nut to crack, Givi’s Somalia and Motorola’s Sparta battalions still are the toughest in tight quarters.
I don’t see where the GS has failed when it comes to strategy.
The mission is to demilitarize Ukraine and to denazify Ukraine and to Liberate Donbass and stop the genocide.
The Russians are doing this very well. War and its conduct is not about perfection. It is about adaptation, maneuver, exploiting weakness and following the overarching plan.
A great military organization is a learning machine, a teaching machine, a machine that makes changes in equipment, pace of battle, and intensity of action.
Russia has used the SMO to improve what, how, where and when of its combat action. It learned in Syria and it is learning in Ukraine. It grows stronger, not just with added manpower, but in improving how and with what it fights.
We will see a stronger fist, a faster fist, not just a larger fist.
Very well explained Larch. How I wish the concern trolls, the FUD repeaters and the plain simpletons (noit just here but everywhere) would read and comprehend your explanation.
Lone Wolf, my friend, when one is second in line chronologically to reply to a comment, your reply will appear beneath the reply of the person who was first in line. So I think Larchmonter was replying to The Obsolete Man.
I don’t think that the implications of these 4 regions becoming part of Russia in the very near future has sunk in yet among the Western “leaders’. They are still in denial. This move by Russia is truly checkmate.
@ Anton Gorbatow on September 22, 2022 · at 3:29 pm EST/EDT
”…This move by Russia is truly checkmate.”
I’d hope so, but if future reactions from the Ukronazis are as desperate and criminal as what we are witnessing now, spurred on, aided and abetted by US/NATO, the checkmate can take a long time to come. Not that Russians are in a rush, their timing is precise, but 404 is reacting like a wounded beast, throwing everything they have in a last attempt to stop the referendum.
They cannot do anything about it, but the number of civilians killed, women, children, elderly, is growing, I am afraid they will take advantage of people’s gathering to increase the number of victims. I certainly hope Russia can give them a taste of what’s coming, a carpet/saturation bombing campaign before the referendum could help to cool off their criminal instinct.
@Gorbatov
“They are still in denial”. It will not be a plus for Biden in the Midterm, even if generally speaking, Americans vote more on the economy than on foreign policy, but it will be difficult to sustain the need to send money to the “brave Ukrainians”, and it will surely appear as a defeat for the Dem party.
How exactly is it falling apart for Russia? I thought they started out protecting two provinces and now 4 are voting for Russia? That would be a 100% increase over initial expectations.
Will Biden push for escalation this close to an election? The best Biden could muster was a little more bluster. Let’s see if Biden can put together a coalition of the willing.
The rate of destruction of 404’s military tells a very different story than the one you Mr. Obsolete are peddling. Plus, you clearly failed to read/listen to what Putin said today. The SMO was never just about 404, but about defeating Neoliberal Parasitism which aims to control the planet. It’s all there in Putin’s final paragraph:
“It is in our historical tradition, in the fate of our people, to stop those who are striving for world domination, who threaten to dismember and enslave our Motherland, our Fatherland. We will do it now, and so it will be.”
And that overall goal was announced by Putin and Xi back on 4 February in their Joint Declaration. Many could see what was on tap back in December. If not for the Trump interruption, this war between NATO and Russia would’ve begun in 2017-18 by Clinton. Fortunately, Russia fielded the hypersonics Putin announced in 2004 in anticipation of a war started by Clinton. And there’s much more I could add, but I’ll resist the temptation.
a) Financing this war (even paying salaries of the UAF, even the dead ones)
b) Providing Eyes in the Sky logistics
c) Operating out of Command Centres in Lviv/Kiev, probably others inside Ukraine and in Poland/Romania
d) Providing ongoing recruitment/training
e) On the ground in Ukraine overseeing counteroffensives/day to day operations
If the above is more or less accurate we can thenstate that Russia is fighting against the combined NATO forces.
In WW2 IF Stalin was able to take out Hitler’s main command centre(s), or Hitler, Stalin’s, then the green light would have been given immediately.
So how come Russia don’t level all the main Command centres, NATO or otherwise in Kiev/Lviv?
The most frequent answers are that we should pretend NATO don’t own this war, are not directly involved and it would generate a larger NATO response.
Level to the ground Kiev/Lviv Command Centres (this will hurt Ukrainian operations bigtime. Should have been done when the first missile landed on Russian territory. SHAKE OFF THE MENTAL SHACKLES.
If the US had Russian hypersonic missiles, then hundreds of thousands of Russians would be dead now.
– If the above is more or less accurate we can thenstate that Russia is fighting against the combined NATO forces.
One one side we have deep state, on the other side Russia.
The faster Germany collapses the faster deep state succeeds.
The role of fake media is to fool people about the war, as in case of COVID-19, to make people believe it is about West vs. East.
Using logic:
To invalidate “Putin is causing Germans to freeze” Gazprom could offer Germans free gas this winter.
It is in Russian interest to make deep state fail.
To make this possible, the german government must give green light to NS1 and NS2. Both depends of the goodwil of people that are unfortunately aligned with the evil west.
Notice to the Cheerleaders Squad: The mere fact that a mobilization is required seven months into this “SMO”, War, intervention, whatever term you want to use, tells me the Russians didn’t have adequate manpower engaged to defend/support such a long front. This obviously was not planned on being required during the time offensive operations were first drawn up. Is this a “game changer” No, it was not a strategic blunder, it was just not anticipated. War is like that. No war has ever gone according to plan, there are ALWAYS adjustments made, and that is what this is. This is the purpose of having reserves, so you have experienced troops you can call up if needed. 300k men is roughly 20 divisions, and that is no small thing. That tells me they are planning on going on the offensive in a big way. Up until recently, the “go slow” strategy has been the best: It has bled the collective west of much money, energy supplies and military hardware. A quick win {which Russia could have done} would not have accomplished this.
Notice to the concern troll/FUD spreader Squad: ObsoleteMan has not been listening but thinks he knows the Russian strategy (we don’t, so how does he?).
He is obsolete.
Moribund has long been studiously impertinent. With the subtlety of a Victoria Nuland in heat. He was banned months ago. We should save our spit when he slips through the cracks.
“The monkey is a gazelle
in the eyes of its mother.”
Russia started its SMO with the intention of not harming civilians unnecessarily. Very noble of Russia. And the SMO was going good, shelling the Ukie lines senseless until no enemy was left alive and then the pro Russian forces advance. So it was a slow and steady advance. But then for some reason Russia decided to allow the Ukies to receive supplies from their Western allies and transport these new supplies to the front lines, where these new supplies and new troops could attack the pro Russian forces and reverse the slow and steady progress the Russians were making in some areas. Very stupid of Russia.
So now Russia is doing a partial mobilization to make up for her stupidity in leaving all those bridges and railway lines intact over the thousand kilometers it takes to reach the front lines from Poland or the Black Sea. Had those bridges and railways lines got bombed on day 1, there would be no need for the partial mobilization. Only now Russia has decided to attack the electricity network in eastern Ukraine.
Russia will win in Ukraine anyway, but this business of not doings things properly in the first place sucks.
– Russia will win in Ukraine anyway, but this business of not doings things properly in the first place sucks.
Right. North Korea has offered 100,000 soldiers in return for food and energy (Russia and North Korea are close to each other as North Korean weaponry is based on Russian weaponry).
So in theory North Koreans could have wiped out ISIS in Syria in 6 months, and returned oil to Syria (and North Korea)… instead of 80% of oil still being sent to Tyrkey and who knows …
Well, gT, Mr. Martyanov said in his video he gets phone calls every morning from Gerasimov, RF Army’s chief of staff. I am sure he might be able to convey your critique to RGS, so they can correct anything that “sucks” in their strategy, and win the war with your counseling.
By allowing the EU to supply its weaponry to the Kiev regime, that the Russian military immediately destroys is a means of weakening NATO as they run out of ammo, and also freeze to death due to a shortage of Russian gas to heat their homes.
There is that rumour that Russia wants to drag more of Western resources into Ukraine to destroy those resources and also that Russia wanted the retreat in Ukraine in order to scare its populace into accepting partial mobilization and some law changes. But who knows what the truth is, it could just be that Russia miscalculated badly and is now has to scramble to fix up that miscalculation.

Commenting foolishly, if Russia has proof that BJ torpedoed an imminent peace agreement, then it is seriously time to cut the head off of the Azov army and then send the bill for reconstruction to King Charles the Turd…

“The ambassador of the LPR to Russia, Rodion Mirochnik, said that “our guys were torn out of hell, and this is the main thing.”
Suppose that the Nazi loving Truss and her Nazi loving Government succeeded in escalating war with Russia to the point where Truss wanted to push her little red button.?
Would the U.S allow nuclear weapons to be fired, knowing that the likely result would be an all out Russian strike on the USA? The answer is obvious, they wouldn’t. In any event Russian missile defences would likely neutralise all or most of an English or French nuclear attack, leaving Russia free to turn the aggressor into a smoking crater.
If Russia used nukes on Europe (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc,) or the `UK, would the Americans retaliate with a nuclear strike on Russia, or would they be quite happy to stay out of it? They would more than likely decide to keep the destruction limited to their European proxies.
Without the USA, NATO does not exist.
The offensive European minnows poking the bear on the supposition that they can hide behind NATO’s skirts are completely deluded. The US will leave them to face the angry bear on their own.
Let us not assume too much here, like UK not being the Nazis.

THE TRUE PATRIOT: Ramzan Kadyrov on the exchange of Nazi commanders and Azov soldiers:
“The situation itself is incomprehensible to me. When combat or tactical decisions were made, we, active participants in the special operation, were consulted. But this is utterly unacceptable.
I understand the Ministry of Defence and the FSB perhaps have their reasons why it had to be done, but I still believe that criminals and terrorists cannot be exchanged for soldiers.
We have a lot of prisoners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, if we exchange one hundred to one, we will still have plenty. We completed this exchange on Ukrainian terms and it’s not right.
Our fighters defeated the fascists in Mariupol, drove them to Azovstal, chased them out of the basements, died, got wounded and shelled. It should not be surprising if after this the fighters who liberated Mariupol, and are now on the front lines, come to the conclusion themselves that the Nazis will not be taken prisoners in the future.”

The role of fake media is to fool people about the war, as in case of COVID-19, to make people believe it is about West vs. East.
Using logic:
To invalidate “Putin is causing Germans to freeze” Gazprom could offer Germans free gas this winter.
It is in Russian interest to make deep state fail.
To make this possible, the german government must give green light to NS1 and NS2. Both depends of the goodwil of people that are unfortunately aligned with the evil west.
I never saw any pipeline in Southern Europa, only gasoline stations with gas containers.
Imagine the shock of 100 Russian trucks with gas heading for Germany.
TAT does have a more substantial ring to it. I wonder why Kiev and Lviv have not been flattened yet. The civilians have had plenty of time to escape.
Notice to the Cheerleaders Squad: The mere fact that a mobilization is required seven months into this “SMO”, War, intervention, whatever term you want to use, tells me the Russians didn’t have adequate manpower engaged to defend/support such a long front. This obviously was not planned on being required during the time offensive operations were first drawn up. Is this a “game changer” No, it was not a strategic blunder, it was just not anticipated. War is like that. No war has ever gone according to plan, there are ALWAYS adjustments made, and that is what this is. This is the purpose of having reserves, so you have experienced troops you can call up if needed. 300k men is roughly 20 divisions, and that is no small thing. That tells me they are planning on going on the offensive in a big way. Up until recently, the “go slow” strategy has been the best: It has bled the collective west of much money, energy supplies and military hardware. A quick win {which Russia could have done} would not have accomplished this.
Notice to the concern troll/FUD spreader Squad: ObsoleteMan has not been listening but thinks he knows the Russian strategy (we don’t, so how does he?).
He is obsolete.
Moribund has long been studiously impertinent. With the subtlety of a Victoria Nuland in heat. He was banned months ago. We should save our spit when he slips through the cracks.

Russia started its SMO with the intention of not harming civilians unnecessarily. Very noble of Russia. And the SMO was going good, shelling the Ukie lines senseless until no enemy was left alive and then the pro Russian forces advance. So it was a slow and steady advance. But then for some reason Russia decided to allow the Ukies to receive supplies from their Western allies and transport these new supplies to the front lines, where these new supplies and new troops could attack the pro Russian forces and reverse the slow and steady progress the Russians were making in some areas. Very stupid of Russia.
So now Russia is doing a partial mobilization to make up for her stupidity in leaving all those bridges and railway lines intact over the thousand kilometers it takes to reach the front lines from Poland or the Black Sea. Had those bridges and railways lines got bombed on day 1, there would be no need for the partial mobilization. Only now Russia has decided to attack the electricity network in eastern Ukraine.
Russia will win in Ukraine anyway, but this business of not doings things properly in the first place sucks.

Right. North Korea has offered 100,000 soldiers in return for food and energy (Russia and North Korea are close to each other as North Korean weaponry is based on Russian weaponry).
So in theory North Koreans could have wiped out ISIS in Syria in 6 months, and returned oil to Syria (and North Korea)… instead of 80% of oil still being sent to Tyrkey and who knows …

Well, gT, Mr. Martyanov said in his video he gets phone calls every morning from Gerasimov, RF Army’s chief of staff. I am sure he might be able to convey your critique to RGS, so they can correct anything that “sucks” in their strategy, and win the war with your counseling.
You can expect their thanks anytime.

Kadyrov also says that it sucks. Take note RGS.
@gT
By allowing the EU to supply its weaponry to the Kiev regime, that the Russian military immediately destroys is a means of weakening NATO as they run out of ammo, and also freeze to death due to a shortage of Russian gas to heat their homes.
There is that rumour that Russia wants to drag more of Western resources into Ukraine to destroy those resources and also that Russia wanted the retreat in Ukraine in order to scare its populace into accepting partial mobilization and some law changes. But who knows what the truth is, it could just be that Russia miscalculated badly and is now has to scramble to fix up that miscalculation.
@ gT on September 23, 2022 · at 3:14 am EST/EDT
You’re totally speculating and spreading misinformation by innuendo.
Are you trolling? For who?
What you’re suggesting, that Russia feigned a retreat to gain a mobilization, is slanderous and stupid.
You shouldn’t be commenting here. I don’t understand how they let you post such a drivel.

Oh dear, my response in kind to you got disappeared. Tragic. Will just have to wait for other opportunities to present themselves, I’m very patient.
Sorry to bother you Don Andrei but not all of us have the fortune to hear well. Is it too much of a hassle for you to caption your conversation?

Commenting foolishly, if Russia has proof that BJ torpedoed an imminent peace agreement, then it is seriously time to cut the head off of the Azov army and then send the bill for reconstruction to King Charles the Turd…
Wanna bet King Charles III will knight the 3 well known Azov militants exchanged yesterday ?

“The ambassador of the LPR to Russia, Rodion Mirochnik, said that “our guys were torn out of hell, and this is the main thing.”
Suppose that the Nazi loving Truss and her Nazi loving Government succeeded in escalating war with Russia to the point where Truss wanted to push her little red button.?
Would the U.S allow nuclear weapons to be fired, knowing that the likely result would be an all out Russian strike on the USA? The answer is obvious, they wouldn’t. In any event Russian missile defences would likely neutralise all or most of an English or French nuclear attack, leaving Russia free to turn the aggressor into a smoking crater.
If Russia used nukes on Europe (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc,) or the `UK, would the Americans retaliate with a nuclear strike on Russia, or would they be quite happy to stay out of it? They would more than likely decide to keep the destruction limited to their European proxies.
Without the USA, NATO does not exist.
The offensive European minnows poking the bear on the supposition that they can hide behind NATO’s skirts are completely deluded. The US will leave them to face the angry bear on their own.
– the Nazi loving Truss
Let us not assume too much here, like UK not being the Nazis.

A couple of links to Lt.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov’s RMofD report as of today, and September 18. I know where to find them now and will pick them up as they arrive.
The numbers of AFU and Nationalist forces kia keep “piling up” around Donetsk and Kherson area. Some major hits. Including heavy equipment neutralized, Himars, M777, etc. A battery of AFU equipment shelling into the civilian areas around ZNPP were liquidated by RF.
Lots of good data available for language fluent viewers, and captions for the non-fluent.

From Kadyrov:
THE TRUE PATRIOT: Ramzan Kadyrov on the exchange of Nazi commanders and Azov soldiers:
“The situation itself is incomprehensible to me. When combat or tactical decisions were made, we, active participants in the special operation, were consulted. But this is utterly unacceptable.
I understand the Ministry of Defence and the FSB perhaps have their reasons why it had to be done, but I still believe that criminals and terrorists cannot be exchanged for soldiers.
We have a lot of prisoners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, if we exchange one hundred to one, we will still have plenty. We completed this exchange on Ukrainian terms and it’s not right.
Our fighters defeated the fascists in Mariupol, drove them to Azovstal, chased them out of the basements, died, got wounded and shelled. It should not be surprising if after this the fighters who liberated Mariupol, and are now on the front lines, come to the conclusion themselves that the Nazis will not be taken prisoners in the future.”
