Dear friends,
A couple of things.
First, my post yesterday about my utter disgust with the West’s attitude resulted in well over FOUR HUNDRED comments overnight. And an avalanche of emails! I only had the time to skim the comments, but I will absolutely read every single one of them this afternoon. I might write up a post to answer some of them, or all of them together, we shall see. But a huge THANK YOU!!! to all those who commented, your LACK of indifference give me courage and restores some faith in my fellow human beings.
Second, I am getting a steady stream of emails and I cannot answer them anymore. I am very very sorry, but until the war in the Ukraine comes to some kind of equilibrium, I will be way too swamped to answer private emails. I ask for your patience and understanding.
Third, it appears that the operational cauldron which will entrap the entire Ukie force in the Donbass is in the process of being finalized. According to recent news, only about 100km separate the northern pincer from the southern one, and since Russian MRLS can reach much further, this means that the Ukie forces are already blocked by fire (meaning that while they still can break through, they will do that under constant Russian fire) and that the encirclement will be completed if not today, then by tomorrow. Take a look at this map:
What you see here is, in red, the advance of the Russian pincers from the north and the south. The think black line is the section of the front through which the Ukies can still run, but it is already under fire from both the north and the south. As soon the Russian force meet somewhere along that lack line, then the operational cauldron will be shut. The yellow line indicate the limits of that operational cauldron which will have about 10-12 Ukrainian BRIGADES entirely cut off and surrounded.
By the way, the Nazi forces in Mariupol are also surrounded, but they decided to fight to their last breath, which would be fine by me if there was not a huge amount of civilians, including civilians herded into bunkers which, in reality, offer them no protection. The Russians could use a large FAE bomb to destroy the Nazis defenses in one strike, but the cost in human lives would be huge. It is possible that the Russians will have to liberate Mariupol the hard way: by sending in special urban assault teams, like what they did in Grozny during the 2nd Chechen war. If so, that will mean that the Russian command has decided to accept many more Russian casualties as a price to pay to save as many civilians as possible. What a horrible decision to have to make…
As for Kiev, the Russians are concentrating forces all around the city, but are not moving in yet, to my great relief.
Finally, Kharkov is being cleaned up by mopping up operations. Once that city is secure, there are rumors that some kind of government will be proclaimed there. Let’s wait and see.
A few practical matters:
- The blogs loads very slowly. Yes, I know, this is due to the huge increase in visitors and there is nothing much we can do. So far, we have not yet detected a deliberate DDoS attack, just a HUGE increase in readership.
- Emails: as I mentioned above, it will be impossible for me to reply to private emails until the situation in the Ukraine stabilizes itself, at least to some degree.
- Other sources: right now I recommend Moon of Alabama (since Andrei Martyanov is on holidays). Other putatively pro-Russians website have produced a lot of clickbait recently and they seem to ally themselves to the Russian 6th column. So caveat emptor, big time! :-)
I hope to produce a report by the end of the afternoon.

Glen Greenwald has a illuminating essay today on the attacks on independent media and thought
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/war-propaganda-about-ukraine-becoming?utm_source=url
Once again, history has called upon the brave children of Mother Russia to stop the fascist hordes.
Once again, sent by the degenerate West.
Once again, the blood of many innocent Russians has been shed.
We remember the martyrs of Donbas.
They will never be forgotten.
May G-d Almighty bless and protect their eternal souls.
Glory to the People’s Republic of Donetsk.
Glory to the People’s Republic of Luhansk.
Glory to Russia.
May the blessings and protection of G-d Almighty be upon the Russian speaking peoples, wherever they live, now and forever.
Amen.
I don’t know if I have raised the issue before, but I remember living through the Cuba missile crisis in 1962. It was a harrowing time. It could be argued that the Americans had the better case since Kruschev had deployed rockets in the US’s backyard. Fair enough, but this time around we have NATO positioning its rockets right next door to Russia’s backyard. How can Russia possibly tolerate a de facto enemy state armed and protected by the US/NATO right on its doorstep!?
Are we going to have 1941 again, only this time with nuclear weapons. The Americans and their NATO Quisling allies seem to be living in a Hollywood dream starring no less a person than Tome Cruise! The West has got a choice, Russia hasn’t.
Just as a arriaire pensee (as the French say) I wonder what China thinks in this regard
Apparently China has announced exercises starting yesterday running to 13-Mar
27-Feb – 01-Mar South China Sea
01-Mar – 03-Mar Bay of Tonkin
27-Mar – 13-Mar Gulf of Bohai

Not been able to confirm these as the only reference appears to be the tweet from Global Times, (not found anything ‘official’), so maybe more propaganda.
The Global Times does not confirm..

Although the moment for joining Taiwan is convenient. But until the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China is held in Beijing in the second half of 2022, I think CPC General Secretary Xi will not do anything serious.
Here is an official confirmation in Chinese of all the three naval exercises that you mentioned:

For the record. The US had already first placed nuclear missiles in Turkey. Kruschev was just swatting their noses and saying “NO!”
And in Italy
Only then the US and Zap. Europe were strong. Today they are playing from weak losing positions.
Then the United States alone accounted for 40% of the world economy, today it is half that and the share continues to decline
Andrew Neopalimyand AndrewNeopalimy@gmail.com
According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr in his excellent autobiographical book “American Values”, John Kennedy had ordered the missiles removed from Turkey months earlier. But the Pentagon simply didn’t do it.
I strongly recommend RFK Jr’s book for anyone who wants to understand the Kennedys, the threat they posed to the US establishment, and why it decided to kill them. (Which has led all presidents since to do what they are told for fear of being murdered).
a must see video – countering the western media bs re this war on youtube. recorded on day 3 or 4 of the war.
unclear how long it may stay online. I have saved a copy.
Sadly, things are looking ever more to play out how the guy’s worst fears – zelenskyi and his masters will fight this war to the last Ukrainian.

“What a horrible decision to have to make…”
I read one comment on telegram which said that the meeting the set up in Belarus was done in the hopes of avoiding a bloodbath in Mariupol through diplomacy.
A good play for the above predicament
I think President Putin would do it to save his men and civilians.
But what would he have to give up in return.
Still nothing today. I hope that means good news hidden from us by the Russophobes.
Do we know anything about the biolab attacks (by the way, are they within the little blue circles?)? Can they be destroyed without leaks/
5 (underground) “calibrated” / destroyed. The strains were taken out in advance.
And at the same time:
The Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plants were taken under control .. Remained: South Ukrainian nuclear power plant (soon), Rivne nuclear power plant (next) and the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant will be the last one.
Then we will come to the IAEA commission, we will force them to conduct a joint audit
Andrei and Co., keeping updated with so many voices takes most of one’s time, but these are extraordinary times and I write to convey of “unprecedented” events Down Under in The ‘Sucky Country’ (right inside the kardashian booty U.$) that being an ‘Over-arching’ weather event that our ABC broadcaster’s ‘Business’ report Industry Rep of agriculture said minutes ago has caused est. hundreds of million$ in losses in literally everything that sits on the ground from The great Washover (my name) from flooding rivers in prime aglands. Such prime front end losses will eventually total into billions for the Oz econ. A Queensland deluge setting new records and standing the jagged but steady incline bar-graph line into practical vertical for rainfall over a period. The synoptic barometric ABC (28/2) had a noticeably unique ‘U-invert’ akin to a rainbow arch stretching the length and breadth of our island. The arc is a front and trough and must be synonymous with the “Unprecedented”. I’ve not seen one so perfectly arced, hence I see portends in it. Now, on topic, this country’s joke PM, a freemason who takes it into a local Hillsong and waves air for on-high blessings to reign down unto him, now has his answer from Above. You vile and murderous super-hypocrite, this is your doing, you are its bough/bow/bowing-down mascot and the nation now growns even more under your freemasonic ‘leadership’, a Thelma-&-Louise cliffdrive for western ‘value$’ into the pit for all the ‘H-owly’ sickos who follow you to your destination. Cause and effect PM fathead. It is so>>>> evident. Vicinity of events, air waver. Super hypocrite. Bow your head in shame and repentance for your ‘values’ have shown their reward upon the nation, its most productive quadrant is decimated like never before in living memory. Don’t think our Gaiac weather can’t do more retribution PM-Hypocritter. We hold it and will bring it and can and will put you down via it.
Unfortunately, freemasons are so retarded in every way ‘cept war planning and making, that this “Unprecedented” won’t even be meditated upon, seen, heard, acknowledged, for what it is in retard central – A.C.T. where Christian values go to die. They will follow their master into his pit leaving life none the wiser and then go into perdition. Without even their overlord’s ordering them, like Pavlovian poodles they will sanction till it hurts and until they stop their own blood flowing just for the theatrics of appearing on teev with ‘values’, their be$te$t, greate$t forever Delphic tripod of Deemockeracy, FreefEdome and Libtardtitty.
I will not even look at this teev spectacle of rank n file hypocritters, Chthonic lizards, libtards, labtards, greentards, boorowtards all dribbling exactly same shit with tiny individualised variance mostly for votes. Faces of the dead, the over-stretched ganglia of foreign super-hypocrites, they waste air and resources and need to be put down as that is ultimately where intent to constantly ‘double-down’ on a cornered superpower leads. Are you hearing this, you Oztards, viewing all from your secure rooms? Try doubling down some more on sanctions with developments forced upon the Russian people and see just how much econ damage awaits you for it. Is that worth all your western ‘values’? To end your value(s) by stripping the front end of your primary producers in prime aglands? (Now your econ has taken the hit, our response, double-down some more then?, we dare you!) Only you can answer that!
Can someone explain how Ukrainian fighter jets and drones are still flying?
probably operating from a highway, or even Polish/Romanian territory
Don’t talk nonsense! In this case, the “Special Operation” of the RF Armed Forces would have already been carried out on their territory.
There are no combat aircraft in Ukraine and no airfields with runways – destroyed!
And what was saved is ours!
The “fighters” flew off on the first day, the drones are destroying, this morning the next 2 (two) Bayraktars
Bayraktar is vulnerable from the ground, its working altitude for reconnaissance is from 3 – 5 km, but at this altitude it is an easy prey for fighters. While they were afraid of focal air defense systems coming out, they didn’t go to heights above the radio horizon, and now they have complete air supremacy.
Hohly jumped.
Edit “Fighters” flew away on the first day” – wrong.
Correct: “Fighters AF Ukr. were destroyed first day”.
Department of Information of the Ministry of Defense of Russia
“The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, reported to the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin that, in accordance with his order, shifts on duty at the command posts of the Strategic Missile Forces, the Northern and Pacific Fleets, and the Long-Range Aviation Command began to carry out combat duty with reinforced personnel .”

Ir seems that during her Moscow visit in October 2012 Victoria Nuland demanded Putin’s resignation as President, and threatened to destroy Russia’s economy. Does anybody have more info on this? I did not catch it at the time (was busy).

“What a horrible decision to have to make…”
I read one comment on telegram which said that the meeting the set up in Belarus was done in the hopes of avoiding a bloodbath in Mariupol through diplomacy.
A good play for the above predicament
I think President Putin would do it to save his men and civilians.
But what would he have to give up in return.
This late into the game, after Ze decentralized the army command, I don’t believe Kiev, or wherever the Central Command of the AFU is, would have any influence in the decision-making process in Mariupol, or anywhere else the neo-Nazis are. During negotiations, they would pretend they cannot have an input on how these scum proceeds, therefore cannot ask them to surrender/evacuate the city. And the Azov battalion will not surrender they know what awaits them.
On another note, the negotiations would be focused on the main issues Putin declared as reasons for the invasion, Mariupol is but a small bleep in that context, bloodbath or not. I certainly hope the Chechens are unleashed agains the Azov battalion, that has been greasing their bullets in lard to kill the “Chechen orcs.” Mariupol needs to be taken, for good, period, never returned to Ukraine. In fact, the land swath along the Azov sea, all the way to Trasnistria, need to be kept for security reasons.
Ze is a puppet for the US/West, they are not sending a delegation with good intentions, their goal is to slow down the negotiations to a grind, while Ukraine enhances its defenses, weapons are brought from the West, mercenaries join the fray, their goal is to bog down Russia in a war of attrition.
Lone Wolf
I repeat for you )))
Sowing in the Ukrainian region starts on March 10-15, this year it may be earlier. For the sowing company, they need money, fuel, fertilizers (which are produced from “Russian gas”), preparation of equipment, soil …
Khryukaina has none of this! In Europe, too, there is a shortage of both fuel and lubricants and fertilizers.
In addition, this year 60% of Ueraina’s loans are used to pay debt service. Further more.
But where next? – further official default, they have had a technical default since 2014.
reference
Ukraine exported grain crops worth $12.35 billion in 2021, which is 31.1% more than in 2020, including corn worth $5.89 billion, wheat – $5.07 billion, barley – $1, 28 billion
Trade in grain crops in 2021 became the second largest export direction for Ukraine after the trade in ferrous metals, which were sold abroad for a total of $13.96 billion.

Russia-Ukraine war: Roman Abramovich in Belarus assisting talks at Kyiv’s request
https://www.jpost.com/international/article-698891
Russian-Israeli billionaire and owner of Chelsea FC responds to request by Ukrainian officials to help negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian-Israeli billionaire Roman Abramovich, at the request of Ukraine, is in Belarus assisting in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine as part of an effort to end the ongoing war, The Jerusalem Post has learned. Abramovich was asked by the Ukrainians to help in enabling the talks, and has traveled to Belarus to participate in the discussions.
Delegations from Russia and Ukraine arrived at the Belarusian border town of Gomel on Sunday and began talks aimed at finding a way to end the fighting in Ukraine. Abramovich has close ties with the Jewish communities in Ukraine and Russia.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Kornichuk would not comment specifically on Abramovich’s involvement in the talks, but said that “we appreciate anyone who can help, if he has enough influence.”

Pentagon wants Moscow back channels to prevent nuclear escalation )))
… “Now that Ukrainian airspace is in dispute and being contested and Ukrainian airspace runs right up alongside NATO airspace, we have conveyed to the Russians that we believe a conduit at the operational level is needed … so we can avoid miscalculation,” a senior Pentagon official told POLITICO. “And we have not received any response from them in terms of whether they agree, whether they are willing to set something up.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/27/pentagon-moscow-backchannel-escalation-00012107
The US, Russia and China all realize that nuclear weapons are suicidal (so do the Israelis and perhaps the Pakistanis – but they may be suicidal anyway).
As alternative devastating weapons, the US has settled on animal and human biowarfare with the eternal hope of finding a disease that attacks Russia and China while leaving Americans safe and sound. I think it is a futile and stupid effort – there is no such disease. No matter what disease they come up with, Americans will be affected.
Russia, on the other hand, has decided on economic warfare. Economically speaking, the US is a parasite – most of US GDP is filled with expensive items (Housing, Health Care and Insurance, College and University Education, Commercial Real Estate) that are either free or cheap elsewhere. Another heavy component is military hardware and software – not useful economically speaking. Meanwhile, Russia runs a budget surplus and has a conservative economy: mining and extraction of natural resources, chemical manufacturing (fertilizer) and other manufacturing. If the Russians withhold commodity exports and fertilizer from foreign spot market(s) for three months and after that demand payment in gold – the world economy collapses. I would not be surprised if they do just that.
Luckily, a large percentage of the USA top leadership is of Russian or Chinese descent.
“The United States, Russia and China understand that nuclear weapons are suicidal”
1. What does China have to do with it? For two hundred nuclear warheads on the IRBM, did you enroll the PRC in the Superpowers? )))
2. The United States and the Russian Federation know that a nuclear war is “suicidal” for one thing – for the United States. Russia has a threefold nuclear superiority in the number of warheads (taking into account the return potential, which will immediately fly in a preemptive strike), carriers that are guaranteed to overcome the so-called unintegrated and not echeloned so-called. PRO USA. Add hypersound and maneuvering strike systems, a nuclear engine, “weapons based on new physical principles” (which is already in service with the RF Armed Forces, but the United States did not .. and when they do we will be out of reach)) etc.
Israel does not, did not have nuclear weapons – charges, warheads and launchers. There is only chatter – chutspa!
Cus ruined Hollywood and comics. A person cannot live without a family, and a family is a mother and father – a man and a woman. And you are rushing to Hell with homosexual speed, where do you go to Russia. Come up with another gender.
As rockets fly from us – you count … count your genders, you will understand why life did not work out this way.
I recommend to all Americans to shoot themselves during the “threatened period”, i.e. the day before.
The worst part is still in front of us. After Russia completes the mission in Ukraine, I expect that all her forces will be quickly withdrawn. Then comes the part where the sanctions must be dealt with. We all know that they will stay in place permanently because the axis of evil — US/EU/UK — has every intention of completely destroying Russia. This has become a fight for survival for her.
I can’t imagine how Russia might handle this problem, but my first suggestion would be to totally cut off gas, oil and every other exported resource from every nation that is currently sanctioning her. Next, if any products, such as gas, continued to be sold, if I were Russia, I would demand payment in gold. Paper no longer has a value. I would fill the Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean with missile carrying battle ships. And for every commercial vessel that was hijacked by the enemy, I would hijack two of theirs, or else sink them and be done with it.
Additionally, I would play the “Israeli” game.That is, I would give those countries hosting US/NATO missile sites 72 hours to dismantle and remove them. After that, I would take them out myself with my own missiles. Moreover, any military aircraft or ships that approached the Russian coast would be destroyed, no questions asked. I would destroy every enemy satellite that passed overhead.
Finally, I would repeat a previous warning: Any missile sites that launch missiles towards Russia would be destroyed, as well as the place that ordered the strikes, specifically Washington, DC and other associated evil entities.
As many others have stated, the only language the US/EU/UK understand is force.
That is, I would give those countries hosting US/NATO missile sites 72 hours to dismantle and remove them. After that, I would take them out myself with my own missiles. Moreover, any military aircraft or ships that approached the Russian coast would be destroyed, no questions asked. I would destroy every enemy satellite that passed overhead.
Can you explain to me how this strategy DOESN’T end in thermonuclear war?
It’s the same strategy the US used in the Cuban Missile Crisis. President Kennedy told the Russians to remove the missiles from Cuba or else the US would remove them by force.
You forgot to mention that the outcome was that the USSR forced the US to remove its missiles from Turkey. Which was the USSR’s target all along. So for all the obligatory flagwaving and JFK adoration, that ugly Krushchev beat him, not the other way around
Andrei
Our (US) military fighter jets loaded with bombs were flying constantly between MacDill AFB, Florida and halfway to Cuba before turning around and going back to refuel. Then, they’d take off again. The difference between then and now is that both parties were listening to one another. In this case, the US refuses to listen to Russia. There is a different mindset in the leaders of the US and Europe than there were back then. The ones in charge today are dead set on total world control and they will do their best to get control no matter how many people have to die. There is absolutely nothing that Russia can say or try to negotiate with the Empire of Lies that will be successful. Nothing!
What I’m most concerned with is that the US will manage to assassinate President Putin. Or else, he will be placed under house arrest and forced to resign by powerful forces in Russia.
What would you do in Russia’s position?
Above my pay grade.
I do think the economic move makes more sense, as it is not going to be perceived as a direct attack. Withhold natural resource exports from Europe until US/NATO missile bases in Poland and Georgia are removed.
Economic warfare is *real* warfare, but is usually not perceived as such by the plebs, hence it allows US/NATO to deescalate without suffering actual immediate hardware/life losses. I believe that if Russia were to take out US/NATO missile bases in Poland and Georgia the people running US/NATO would respond kinetically and then it’s all over. But I agree that there are no easy answers.
“What I’m most concerned with is that the US will manage to assassinate President Putin. Or else, he will be placed under house arrest and forced to resign by powerful forces in Russia”.
Should either of those happen – extremely unlikely – Mr Putin’s successor would be far tougher with the West, and much more likely to use military or economic force.
Mr Putin is the best on offer for the West, whether they like it or not.
“Can you explain to me how this strategy DOESN’T end in thermonuclear war?”
That’s easy. The Russians stick to conventional warheads; if the Americans use even one nuclear weapon, Russia warns them ONCE: next time you do that, we will retaliate and then everyone will die.
The Americans (by which, of course, I mean the tiny but vicious ruling class) have been able to exterminate the human species since the 1960s. One day they may decide to do so. At least Russia should not let them crush it by progressive “small” increments.
If ordinary Americans don’t like the prospect of being exterminated, maybe they should change their government. That should be very easy to do, in the “the world’s leading democracy” where the people, by definition, have supreme power.
I don’t see this absurd tragedy about sanctions. Yes, financial markets will be destroyed, but this is a problem even for the west. Russia is in a better position, because they aren’t shy to embrace a partial communist view. Watch at China for ideas. If they can do it, Russia can do it too.
As for weapons, it isn’t a real problem. There is Scandinavia that must remain neutral. And this is where the next war can start if the talking heads in the west don’t grow a brain. But other than that. there is nothing that nato can do against Russia today.
The oil and gas must flow, but let’s change the terms as soon as the contracts will be renewed. Payment in gold or ruble or yuan or rupee. They need them to kickstart the funds China is building to settle transactions between Russia and China. Including India is possible, since India imports a lot of things from Russia. Maybe other countries would get on board.
Another solution is to propose the switch to the chinese swift alternative. This was China would strengthen its position as a financial superpower, and the yuan could quickly depose the dollar as reserve currency.
For technology, there is nothing China can’t make. This is a fact. Just buy chinese products, while bootstrapping the internal industries. Elbrus is already at a good point in microprocessor design. They need more expertise.
At the very moment Russia leaves Ukraine, a few weeks maximum months, you will have the biggest NATO base in the World at Russia door.
This is their project, using Ukr as a shield(they don’t care about ukies of course).And so what? What will be the gain for Russia? None except a few nazis killed, weaponery destroyed for A WHILE, even more radical ukies with vengence as their project for the rest of their life.
They will receive NATO and EU immediate admission(for EU is already almost a done deal since yesterday).
Trillions will come from Soros, western countries, banks etc.reconstruction means a lot of money.This just printing money.
The final result will be 1000 worse than even having done nothing.
Sad constation but the truth,as Russia will not occupy Ukraine which would be the only way(and not even sure 100%)to avoid this mess.Russia is now in theory a rich country but in reality soon a third world one.
Personally, I am surprised that the moderator allows this person to go on posting. The reasons are obvious.
Sendig all the best wishes to those brave russian soldiers. Here in the global south we know pretty well the true face of this disgusting system we living under. I could say a bunch of stuff but i think you all already know everything i have to say so i’ll leve a poem i made after Mr. Putin adress to the nation. It goes like this.
Death.
And that’s how a country comes to an end,
through theft and lies, fire and flame.
A cold zinc coffin is a dark way to go,
but in this pile of bodies you’ll won’t be alone.
They’ve sent you here to die on this land,
you speak their language but don’t know their names.
Artillery barrage, your hands are shaking
you remember your wife your kids and their faces
Look my friends we’re all gonna die,
but that doesn’t mean we’re not gonna fight.
Humans or dogs, guess we’ll never know
we’re treated the same our death is unknown
You taste the blood, your eyes suddenly close,
for a split of a second, you know that i’ll go.
Brace for impact, good work and goodbye.
Kill all the fascists and send my regards.
While I completely agree with Andrei’s advice to ignore to news on how the war is going I hope to see a swift Russian reaction to the economic sanctions being placed on her by the West. If the west freezes Russian assets then she should seize western assets in Russia in return.
There are very little foreign assets. War is lost, going the ‘light’ way is a catastrophic mistake.You don’t go to war with half of your money in the West banks, this total suicide.
Putin is finished for me, or he resigns or there will be a ‘coup’, or they will bomb him or send gladio special killing forces(why are US/UK/EU embassies still operating as they are full of ‘spies’ or worse?
This is pure ideology and PR.Russia is a big zero at that? This is not new.
In 2022 you don’t win a war mil only, perception is the most important.
The West can not lose at any price, they control the financial world.
Atlanticists destroyed Russia from inside.
Putin has probably very bad eco advisers.Central bank ceo is a IMF agent, not even a secret. There are a few good ecos in Russia but he never listened to them.
Russia credit and credibility is now destroyed forever or at least 100 years.
Putinists patriots don’t understand economy, which is a weapon of mass destruction.
No need for zirkon, Poseidon etc..they will never be used anyway, same for the other side.
War is financial nuclear destruction.
Even Switzerland is sanctionning Russia, Japan etc..and maximum pressure is on India and China is changing her approach this morning.
To save Russia Putin must go.
How is it possible that at day 5 soon 6 of the war, ukie internet is still in full ops propaganda, believe me this is the only one which matters.
Never seen such a stupid strategy in my life, it will enter the war academy books as the biggest failure of all times.
Don’t expect friendly welcome by ukies, after 8 years of 24/7 brainwashing people(already not very smart), it was to be forseen.
Odessa 2014, the end of Russia as we know it.
Eltsin years will soon come back.
Very sad.
Are you finished? You must be one of those 6th column entities I’ve been hearing about?
Low cost Troll detected
Mr. Saker, I congratulate you, and your team, and the readers for the achievement.
Your site is truly a source of light, in the lurking darkness of evil western media propaganda.
Please stay safe, and may The Great God protect and guide us all.
Uurrrraaaa!
The only thing that worries me is the Russian casualties
Is there anyway to know what is the number of our soldiers casualties?
Hello,
First of all, thanks Saker for what you are doing, be sure that Russia has and will have friends in France.
For those of you understanding french, I recommend Xavier Moreau analysis.
He is a former french paratrooper officer (Saint-Cyr) living now in Moscow.

MI6 Chief Faces Backlash For Saying Ukraine War Is About LGBT Rights
THE head of MI6, who includes his preferred pronouns in his Twitter bio, faced backlash for suggesting that a large part of the war in Ukraine was about “LGBT+ rights”.

And of course the West has also the Levine tranny abomination and Sam Briton hired by Biden and now in charge of nuclear waste.This individual whom uses different pronouns goes by the alter ego name “ Sister Ray Dee O’Active”. This “sister” lectures on the “Physics of Kink” and was annoyed of “liking to have sex with animals”.

why did Kazakhstan refuse to send troops to support Russia despite Moscow just having saved its ass from a usukciami6 color revolution?

You’re leaving a pattern of abuse on the wake of your comments, incompatible with the spirit of The Saker’s blog. Poster Nightvision is a great contributor with different information, you’ve been abusing him with putdowns in several posts accross different threads.
Other posters are noticing your pattern of abuse, see Maxx below. The fact you’re Russian does not mean you know everything, post your comments, we will decide if they are worth to read or not, no need to treat other posters disrespectfully.
Please don’t reply to me, or address me with your comments.
Thanks.

Thank you Lone Wolf, your words represent me widely and I appreciate you making it public. In this difficult time for Mother Russia we all have to fight the common enemy from this trench (The Saker), I do it from Chile and I never point my “Kalashnikov” at any of the combatants on the forum. Congratulations “Tovarish”
Saker, your Interlude in the evening had no promised evening update. Are we to infer things have stalled or gotten worse for team Russia. I hope not because then I’m not sure how Putin’s goals can be achieved without a REAL loss of life.
Man, c’mon, are you for real?
I know from trusted Brazilian friends that your deeds there in the mainstream media and also on youtube and social media for years now speak otherwise!
My friends and I simply don’t buy the fact that you are here, commenting on an independent geopolitical analysis site while believing in your own words. No way!

“NEW: Russia’s top military command has ordered heavy strategic bomber flights in effort to block US and European military aid from getting to Ukraine, per a defense ministry statement.
Russia has tried to “fully destroy” Ukraine’s airfields with missile attacks, per Ukraine MoD”

I can’t make sense of this report. What is it implying, that Russian bombers will bomb ground transports? I’m a little confused.
Yes, if this report is accurate that is a large part of what it implies. This could get very, very bad. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, entities under arms embargoes smuggled most of their arms under “civilian protection” for at least part of the way to avoid being targeted. Opposing sides would attempt to target these routes, but they would hit human shields frequently enough for the resulting media attacks to deter even bothering with attacking arms supply chains periodically.
The level of professionalism in the VRF is on the whole higher than that of the VRS and VRSK in the previously mentioned war, but the tactics of the smugglers have evolved and I doubt the increase in precision either of weapons or intelligence can compensate for that. There will be errors. If the report is true, this means the long-range activities will no longer be limited to “easy targets”. Most “air strikes” carried out so far have been CAS, while these flights might be carried out deep in enemy territory, where the efficiency of the accuracy air controllers is greatly diminished.
As sad as it is to see children die, or women, we ought to feel the same for soldiers. The spectators of the world do not. This will help solidify the media victories of the favoured side. But the bombings will also lead to the death of many who might otherwise survive the war.
Not sure if my introductory post will appear, or this. But it seems very relevant to this community.
