Good to see that there is still Somewhere to go for sane news in the World where insanity reins supreme namely in the MSM. I Hope and pray that la Russie Éternelle come out of this battle of good against devilish evil stronger, wealthier, and wiser for the sake of all humanity.

Andrei, courage and keep the good work.
From an African well wisher and admirer.

Hotep.

Andrei Bezrukov’s understanding of the West is to be commended. He speaks of the Anglo-Saxon emphasis on the “rational man.” This is a very clear reading of the dominant force in the West. It is really an ego driven “rationality” that cuts itself off from soul and spirit and then wars against the spiritual values to be found in the soul. Watch how the BBC programming constantly but subtly undermines Christianity. It’s rational bias cannot integrate Christianity’s real inner content. It reduces everything to ego. In this way the rational mind very cleverly drives the soul into the unconscious. It suppresses it into the underground. This is characterized in the Marxist lexicon as “bourgeois bias” and it has a recognizable class basis. “Bourgeois Britain.”

This is a collective cultural sickness that gives rise to the myth of Faust, which has been described as Modern Europe’s only myth. Faust’s rational ego went into full throttle denial of the spiritual world. The political result is Anglo-fascism. This results on a mass scale as both class conflict and international tensions. This so called “rationality” is really a war against truth as it denies the higher understanding which is to be found in the soul. True rationality can only come from the integration of the developed mind into the spiritual awareness of the soul. However it is told that the salvation of Faust is to come to him when he opens to the feminine. Mother Russia perhaps?

How can the West claim to be truly rational? All they are doing is proving their entrapment in egoism. Which from the level of soul understanding can be seen as a mind lost in a dark madness where nothing real is seen. But they will try and lock their demented and narrow vision in upon us all by attempting to define the parameters of science as an exclusively materialist enterprise.

I read however that Moscow is the city where the rationalism of the West meets the spirituality of the East. Which is why this great city is so pivotal in modern world history. So it fits that the political processes currently underway in Moscow have responsibility for negotiating the conflicted relationship between Western rationality and humanity’s spiritual destiny.

What is clearly needed is a cultural movement that reintegrates the developed rationality of the West into the life giving waters of true spirituality. However the powers that be can be trusted to desperately resist that until the very last.

Apologies offered to Andrei and all readers if this comment appears too coldly cool and rational. Sometimes my soul feels so much that the only way I can deal with this situation is to be as clinically precise as my rational mind will allow. But like Andrei said; “we are winning.”

Well, having absorbed a lot of information about this current ‘war’ I am in no doubt that, firstly, Putin caught NATO, the EU,the USA, UK and Canada off guard with his actions. What the Russian army has found in the Ukraine is far more NATO control than anybody thought possible. Also, the 14 ‘secret’ bio-weapons around the Ukraine almost on the Russian border which, I understand, the Russian military have now captured and the Pentagon erasing all information about them internally. Secondly, NATO had the chance to accede to Putin’s requests for diplomacy to resolve the situation over the past 10 years and they treated Russia with disdain, contempt and quite frankly, in an insulting manner. There can be no doubt that Putin took the right decision, which I don’t think he would have taken lightly knowing the full scale of the Sanctions that would be put in place. I doubt very much whether he took it without dialogue with Xi Ping first. The EU, USA, Canada and NATO are now behaving like the school playground bullies issuing sanctions left right and centre without any thought about the serious blowback to them of those decisions. They are lucky Russia hasn’t turned off the Gas yet because that would put any military assault on Russia beyond their reach. They have completed overreacted to a straight forward situation which NATO could have resolved. And it is a gross over-reaction. They are the school bullies thrashing out at the worms who have turned and who are getting the upper hand. Well, Russia will survive this economically and politically as it has been preparing itself for such a scenario for the last decade. The blowback for NATO and its affiliating countries on the other hand, is going to be considerable and something the school playground bullies haven’t actually considered. They now also have China to contend with who currently hold USD 1.6trillion of USA debt. If they unleash this on the stock markets, the USA and the EU are f****d. They have backed themselves into a desperate corner with all of this without a single thought of the consequences and are having to rely on industrial levels of propaganda and censorship to make it stick. Thing is, where I am here in the UK, nobody seems to be interested. Nobody is talking about it anywhere.

Thanks again for another informative post, much appreciated.

I’ve not heard of this Andrei Bezrukov, but my impression here is not of a “world-class specialist of the West”. He certainly gives an accurate picture of what the Western nations are doing, but speaking as one of the Western (specifically Anglo-Saxon) people he’s talking about, I don’t think he understands us at all.

“…western people, and especially Anglo-Saxons – all their thinking is based on the concept of ‘the rational man’…their entire legal system is based on this concept of ‘the rational man’… All their strategic solutions are built on the concept of ‘the rational man’.

Yes. As an “Anglo-Saxon” (American with roots in the founding generation and before, nearly all my ancestors came to this continent in the 17th and 18th centuries; according to 23&Me my genetic heritage is 67% British, 96% northwest European), I agree this is correct: I am a believer in Reason as the best guide for action.

However, what he’s talking about – the thinking in the ruling circles of the Western nations, and their consequent actions – has nothing to do with Reason. Said ruling circles have long been dominated by a foreign element, not Western, certainly not Anglo-Saxon, whose only priority is their own profit, whose greed, perfidy and cunning are limitless. You must have seen the memes showing the real nationality of, for instance, the overwhelming majority of Biden’s cabinet. And this is nothing new; US foreign policy has been at the bidding of these people at least since Woodrow Wilson (and America with him) was duped into joining the first Great War.

And more evidence is surfacing every day of how this element has infiltrated the ruling circles of pretty much every Western nation. For instance, what do the president and prime minister of Ukraine, and the mayor of Kyiv – the three most prominent people in that “country” – have in common? Even Slavic people are not immune to their treachery.

It has been precisely our belief in Reason, and its corollary, reasonableness, which has allowed this foreign element to take over our nations. This, of course, is our responsibility; and if we don’t wake up and do something about it, we – in particular the USA, my nation – will finally, simply expire.

The peoples of eastern Europe – the Slavs he speaks of – have long experience with this element, and are not nearly so naive about them. We of the West have a lot of learning to do. I am not sure if we will manage the task in time.

Thanks Saker for your brilliant work.

Yes – the sanctions will hurt a bit – but not long term.

What is telling is that Russia can strategically drive up the cost of energy worldwide. And according to Moon of Alabama, Russia has market power for the following: wheat, potassium, titanium, aluminum, palladium, etc. All of these items could be used against the West by simply making them more scarce than they already are. Mind you, this needs to be done strategically. Items that have relatively inelastic demand are ideal. Energy is certainly one of these. As the price goes up, consumers must pay more to drive autos and power their homes and infrastructure. So Russia should do what it can to cripple USA and NATO industry – and make it clear that it is doing this.

If they do this correctly, it will actually earn MORE money for Russia as consumers will be forced to pay MORE for LESS.

Other than that, I say Russia should press on and take all of Ukraine. The NATO and USA have indicated they will continue to supply weapons (and military jets!) to Ukraine. NATO and USA simply cannot be trusted to deal with this threat to their perceived global domination in any rational manner. And Russia cannot risk NATO or EU membership for the Ukraine.

I have predicted a bifurcation of the world economy for some time. This bifurcation will be accelerated. Zone A and Zone B will operate in different worlds. China will provide the mechanism for the Southern Hemisphere, Eurasia, and Africa to exchange goods and services. The producers and raw material suppliers will all be in Zone B. Zone A will simply be where a few goods, such as agriculture, are produced, but mostly just a large population of consumers. Good luck with that economic model Zone A. Implosion is coming.

The Kansan

Concerning that “rather die than surrender”. That makes total sense. With NATO’s advance, the Empire was taking a nuclear gun to the temple of Russia, in order to blackmail her into total surrender and destruction as a nation. Reportedly, Putin said something like “the world without Russia is not worth living in”. And, though I’m not Russian, I feel he is 100% right. Even with the nonzero probability that this operation will end with the destruction of all life on earth, the game is worth the candle. (Of course, this probability is reasonably negligible, currently; but it would have grown as NATO’s pressure increased. Once this victory is secured, the demilitarization of 3B+P will have to be secured as well.)

Your humour on the news we are subjected and limited to in the West is most appreciated, Saker.

But how absurd that propaganda campaign has become is unprecedented in its degree of insanity. The appalling thing is that the more insane it gets, the more the crowd swallows it, hook line and sinker. In my long life, I don’t believe having experienced anything that widespread and so fanatical. The degree of conformity from one source to the other is nothing short of surreal. Thank God we have you, Moon of Alabama, Martyanov, Pepe Escobar, and the few others.

Thanks for your dedication, precious analyses, the maps, the lists of reliable sites, the warnings and all the rest… And please don’t worry about the difficulties we are all facing together on this site and on others… This is war! And that is what war is about, more so when the stakes are so high. At stake is indeed the accelerated fall of the Empire. It knows. Hence the innumerable acute spells of hysteria.

Wishing you well. Please take care.

Italy, Finland, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Spain, France, Czech, UEFA, FIFA…you name it. All Russian “partners” are giving it a lesson in morality. Just two years ago Putin was still scaring the world with Srebrenica scenario in Donbas, presumably a genocide like one the Serbs commitment could happen again. The last year Russia was placing flowers on the tomb of the great fascist, the Serbian and Russian enemy F. Tudjman it seem for no other reason but to poke the dirty fingers in the eyes of the only friendly nation in the world. And it seems amazing to me that the most Russians, especially those on the top, do not fully understand why and how they found themselves in the current situation.

After reading Mr. Bezrukov’s comments, I feel that there’s no better opportunity than this for Russia to completely break away from the Western structures that were imposed upon her since the ’90s (E.g. ECHR).

DeJaVu. All reminds me the US Nato playbook with Serbia. I am only worried that Putin makes the same mistakes like Milosevic before. Slobo provided too less soldiers, always claimed Serbia is not in war, took care of enemies civilians, confusing strategy, poor implementation of tasks caused by unclear definitions of targets.
Later Slobo drowned in senseless negotiations. The biggest mistake has been made in the early starting of Croation, Bosnian, Albanian war in not securing first the borders to Nato states Hungary and Austria. Even Austria claimed to be neutral the influx of weaponary was gigantic. Same with the ports in Croatia and Slovenia. Every day every two shipments with weaponary arrived in the ports. Coming back to Ukraine i believe it is strategic mistake not to take over borders with Slovakia, Poland and Hungaria. U might destroy all ukraine weapon and ammunition depots but they replace the lost immediately on daily base with the help of their real partners.
Putin has always used the word partners. These partners now delivering ammunition and weaponary on a just in time system to the Ukraines. Milosevic has also used the word “partners” and ended up in Den Haag prison.

Snow Leopard, this is really to the core. Soul mediating between Spirit and matter.
I’m gointo print your comment.

‘It all comes out in the wash’ or as I’ve been taught ‘It’ll all come out in the wash’, an idiom, meaning the truth will eventually be realised.

Then Putin wins back to back Peace Prizes while the Satanic Banking Forces of the Wicked West collapse having been on life support for nigh on 40 years. The western charade of Economies disguised as going-concerns when actually bankrupted will soon come out in the wash. Temple Bar, The Bank of England , The Central Banks, IMF, BIS, The Federal Reserve, The Baron Rothschild, all sunk with no fresh blood to sacrifice at the masonic alter.

What does it all mean? I’ll let you know what it means . . . .

It means, German, Spanish, British, French, Italian and other European citizens applying for Domestic Staff positions in Asia. Goodnight Europe, blow out your candles, tomorrow will bring no better news.

The Russians are doing exactly what they need to do. They are prepared for every move by the West. MSM is controlled by the US government. Its all propaganda, and will be forgotten soon enough. RT and Sputnik are fully accessible in USA. Serious people get things done. Non serious people get nothing done, and spend their time criticizing the people who sacrifice and produce. Russia is on the correct path and it will be difficult, but its absolutely necessary for survival as a sovereign country. Nothing worth fighting for is easy.

In addition to Grandmaster Karjakin, more have been sanctioned:

Thanks Saker for bringing so needed balanced information and excellent analysis for all these years and specially nowadays.

Let me share this very interesting video from Gonzalo Lira, a chilean analyst (not at all a lefty) in Kiev. Nothing really new but in line with we read here. It’s worth watching

https://youtu.be/1vdiEABLFoo

Julian Ropcke – one of the best informed and most sophisticated military analysts on Twitter despite his strong pro-Ukie bias – reports that the Russians are indeed making progress in Mariupol and on the Lugansk front.

Ropcke is now making comments to the effect that Mariupol is nearly encircled by the Russians. He doesn’t say how many Ukie troops are in this emerging cauldron, though.

https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1498326945423106062

He also reports what he says is “terrible news” – that half of the entire Ukie front has collapsed in front of Lugansk.

https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1498280383766487045

So indeed…there is evidence emerging which corroborates the claim of some analysts (including Andrei) that something big and favorable for Russia may be on the verge of happening in the east. If some like Ropcke feels compelled to admit these facts, that is a very good sign.

I want to see a huge, highly visible defeat of the Ukies in the east. Lots of prisoners. Something that Western media cannot possibly conceal, deny, or obfuscate.

My personal take/updates (scatter-brain style) on Day 4:

-The number 1 takeaway so far that to me is the “theme” of this war: the entire West does not comprehend the complexity of Russian battle doctrine, nor is capable of understanding or mirroring it.

A little military back-history for those not familiar: the U.S. armed forces are a very slow, lethargic, and methodical army. American doctrine goes along the lines of a predictable, slow, careful/cautious computer. They move huge bulky forces whose vehicles are extremely slow, setup massive foreward bases and then wait for airpower to first level everything ahead of them, and only THEN continue onward. This is exemplified for instance during 2003 Iraq invasion when, a week or two into their slow trudge towards Bagdad, they actually took a big “tactical pause” where they ceased all advancement in order to let its slow lumbering forces catch up and regroup.
U.S. doctrine with special forces is such that they are a very proportionally small group of specialists used only for specific/precise small sabotage operations, whereas the vast bulk of the combat is done by the heavyset army which has to really “plant its feet” and “dig in” in order to be effective, and does not move or advance without every t being crossed and i dotted, airforce having fully cleared the path etc. American combined arms capabilities are extremely low, everything is done in the manner of “one thing at a time”, which is why you never see training footage of American exercises with combined arms whereas Russia is world famous for its huge scale exercises (like Zapad 2021 etc) where landing ships, helicopters, airforce, army, navy, tanks, etc all work together simultaneously in rapid advancement, interlinking their data and capabilities.
For those that don’t know, the Soviets invented the concept of “deep battle” which later inspired (read: was ripped off by) the Germans in their “Blitzkrieg”. The idea was first invented by Russia which means Russian forces have had the doctrine of agility and battle behind enemy lines the longest of any other armed forces/country on earth. If you’re not familiar please read up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_operation

Now, what does this mean: Russian military doctrine differs from the slow, ponderous, methodical and lumbering American military behemoth which does not move or conduct any advancement until all its forces are perfectly dug in and calibrated. Russian forces are much more agile, and rely much more on airborne and light advance units that can go behind enemy lines and disrupt command formations, supply trains etc. The most notable example of this difference is, like I mentioned before, U.S. special operations forces operate in very small picked groups, whereas Russian “Spetsnaz” and VDV forces are numbered in the tens of thousands and regularly conduct entire large scale operations on their own. See the most famous example for context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm-333 You will never see an american equivalent where almost 1,000 Navy Seals storm a giant palace on their own. This is a major doctrinal difference.

The U.S. and West do not have the capability to drop the types of large scale mobile and highly agile units deep into enemy lines, or penetrate thereof. They can do small platoons of Seals by Blackhawk to take out a tower, but not several thousands of VDV racing across the country with swift light / amphibious vehicles, BMD’s etc.

So my point in this is that, what U.S. analysts, including top military “experts” are witnessing in Ukraine has them completely frazzled and perplexed. They are not even capable of comprehending the type of deep battle and agile tactics that Russia is utilizing. The strategy is in fact of a ‘creative’ and highly advanced nature simply not possible in the U.S. armed forces. The extreme operational speed that Russian mobile units are utilizing in racing past enemy lines, then enveloping their cities while capturing rear echelon units, destroying supply/command, etc., is simply unthinkable and impossible in the U.S. military doctrinal space. So when these Western ‘experts’ view these actions they resort to a strange cognitive dissonance and various psychological biases which force them to make excuses and completely flawed analyses.

The fact of the matter is, Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, much larger than anything U.S. has ever invaded in fact. 50% larger than Iraq, (and double the population), double the size of Vietnam, double the size of Germany. And Russian forces in only a matter of days are already all over the country, penetrating swiftly and deeply to its interior. Granted they haven’t captured the deepest interior portions yet, but that goes to my point which so flummoxes western analysts, is they’re incapable of understanding the maneuvers of forces which do not necessarily aim to capture everything. The speed and agility of Russian ‘deep battle’ systems sends enemies into disarray, confusing their commands, destroying internal/rear strategic points, etc.

In summary: the sheer “creativity”, agility, and complexity of Russia’s current incursion is too baffling and advanced for any Western ‘expert’ to properly understand or analyze. They are only used to the one dimensional, lumbering and methodical American operations doctrines which rely heavily on massive carpet bombing of all civilian infrastructure for the sluggish and leaden-footed main force to advance, until they can once again dig in and “pause” for a long time to concentrate on the next enemy battle grouping in the same predictable, methodical manner. Sorry, this simply isn’t how Russia operates.

Now with that said, this method does have some drawbacks, so I’ll speak on those now.
In my analysis (as other experts have agreed recently) yes Russia HAS stretched itself a tad thin with these methods, but this is accepted risk they are taking and not some sort of “accident” they found themselves in. They are exchanging time for other resources. For instance, one of the reasons we’re seeing such light assaults on cities like Kharkov is because as of yet, Russia does not have the full manpower to make an overpowering infantry assault on the city.
The main reason for this is because for now Russia has only committed roughly 35-50k troops to Ukraine out of the reported 150-180k they have stationed and ready right outside the Ukr borders. This is also done deliberately. In Georgia 2008 they also came in with a much smaller force first of 10-15k then gradually poured in more until there were 30-40k or more. Reports last night/today claimed that Russia will now be sending the 2nd wave of another 50k or so troops, so this may begin a new phase of besieging the currently surrounded major cities like Kharkov and Mariupol.
For comparison purposes, Ukraine is said to have its most crack / elite / veteran troops in the Donbas region, and roughly ~100k of them. So let’s say Russia has used only 40-50k forces so far. Logic dictates the largest batch would be around Kiev the capital. We know for a fact a large amount is also in the southern Kherson push, aiming to cap that city and push west to Odessa. Then we know a large amount also is in the Mariupol theatre. So let’s just say for argument’s sake there’s 10k around Kiev, 10k for Kherson, 10k for Mariupol and 10k in Kharkov region. Clearly you can see, 10k for Kharkov is not quite sufficient for a Ukie holdout force of 100k spread all over the region. Sure DNR/LNR are there as well but they are operationally limited to what their objectives are and I’m not sure they’re even allowed to participate in Kharkov’s capture, and they don’t have much troops to begin with compared to these other numbers as I understand it (maybe 20-30k? possibly much less? I’ll have to confirm).
So yes as you can start to visualize from this, the current phase of Russian operations does not really allow for the full capture of these major cities. It has been focused on surrounding and using the misunderstood and unequaled agility/deep penetration of Russian forces to disrupt and weaken the enemy’s lines/supplies/command structure all over the country. Only when reinforcements are confirmed to start arriving will we likely see true sieges and attempts to liberate the major population centers.

One last note: the other misunderstood factor of a force that relies on such complex/mobile tactics is the fact that Russian forces utilize a lot of ‘testing’ attacks where they are able to test the defenses of an entrenched enemy, while staying “light on their feet”. This includes pulling in and out with quick strikes at different weak points not only to soften the defense up, but to confuse them (make their forces constantly have to redistribute to different vectors of defense), and also test the defensive responses. American forces are incapable of this and thus their experts/generals are likewise incapable of analyzing these maneuvers. In the eyes of the American generals/analysts, they misunderstand the tactics and end up concluding “the Russians keep retreating! What are they doing? They strike Kiev’s gates then pull out. Putin is unhinged! His military is failing! Blah blah.” This is the type of hysterical nonsense I’m hearing from western “experts” because their own systems do not allow for such mobility. Russian units are like ghosts capable of appearing at your gates, attacking, then disappearing without losses. You can see evidence of this in the dozens of videos we have of Russian forces zipping around the country at incredible speed. There’s videos of light armor/truck columns just speeding down highways around the country to create these bursts of initiative to completely confound the enemy. The other drawback of course to this is, that sometimes they move SO fast that they are leaving behind lost rear units, or they move so “creatively” and on the fly to new objectives that miscalculations occur in regards to supplies and a tank or two might run out of fuel on the way there as we’ve seen in some of the videos. These are calculated costs, the Russian generals know the risks and know these are the drawbacks to these methods, but there are huge rewards and advantages to them which the Russian forces are reaping which go completely over the Western analysts head. To them, all they see is a chaotic mess of units spread thin, zipping around the country directionless simply because their own forces have never been capable of such doctrines and their overladen, sluggishly designed equipment is not capable of even conducting it (think of the massive, slow American medium armor units that crawl around Iraq and are sitting ducks). Everything in the American armor category is designed doctrinally to be much larger, more armored, but far slower and sluggish. Think of the Abrams, Bradleys, MRAPS etc which are all double the size of Russian tanks, BTR’s, and Gaz Tigr equivalent vehicles and go at half the speed. You can see easy evidence of this in the rash of videso published last year from Syria where Russian light/medium patrol vehicles squared off against their American equivalents, ramming and racing them. In every video, the Russians won and there were several recorded instances where the American vehicles flipped or got stuck in mud, incapable of keeping up with the Russian equivalents.

Just look at these poorly designed, non-rugged, slow and sluggish lumbering pieces of crap try to keep up with superior Russian equipment. In the words of Biden, “Come on, man!”

Please try not to laugh!

Yes. I have been thinking about it these days.
Asia should build their own “Facebook and Twitter”… their own smartphones and more important smartphone OSes (their “Android”, “Windows”, “Linux”, “iOS”); their “Google search” and “Google translator” and “Google Maps” (they already have some, but the quality/functionality gap is wide), their “Hollywood”. Their sports federations (even, well, chess federation, and separate Olympic games, if needed). Their car brands (of quality comparable to German cars, I mean…).

They should make their alternative “English”: a newly crafted common script for their half of the world, using a script that should absolutely be simple: not the latin script, but one as simple as the latin one, thus making it possible to learn it to the other, Western half part of the world (a language that can be exported).

They should have their international bank system (along with national central banks independent from the Western banking system), their base, common currency for trade (or anyway, stop using the dollar as well as euro). Their “NATO”, even. Surely their “SWIFT”, their “Interpol”, …
They should stop sending their brightest youth to study in the West.

They should offer a complete package as an alternative to the West.

This would need Russia and China to trust each other with no shadow of mistrust left, first of all: is that possible? Could that ever be possible?
Then, maybe maybe, they should stop hating Japan and giving the Japanese reasons to fear that, if they break their ties with the USA, they’ll be attacked.
Having Japan on board would be super-important.

A block with Korea, Japan, China, Russia, and India, if really cohesive and determined to offset the West and its urge to rule globally, would have its big chance to succeed.
Single countries fighting that urge one by one? Not much, probably.

“ Given such sanctions, does it make sense for us to stop with Ukraine?
Of course, not! Of course, not.
I want to go further…”

Truly ominous and I fear this is where we are heading. Rationality has ended. The Bear is enraged and the West is proving itself to be so stupid. It just does not get it.

By sending weapons through Poland, Poland and NATO become targets. By piracy against a Russian cargo ship carrying cars to St Petersburg, France is a target. Steal $400 billion from Russia, and what do you think will happen?

Friends, do not forget your prayers for this Earth, our home and that of all our fellow creatures (two legged, four-legged, finned, furry, feathered, etc.) no matter by what Name or conceptual Form you know that Oneness, our Creator. A special prayer also for protection for those who love and speak fearlessly the Truth.

We keep hearing about the need for ceasefire from the West… yet in the same breathe hear about every EU country willingly prepared to supply arms, lethal weapons to Ukraine.

What am I missing here regarding the West’s hypocrisy?
