Amateurs think strategy, generals think logistics … Or why Ukraine is doomed

By F(unny) Man for the Saker Blog A simple analysis of the events in real-time(1). No matter which one of the levels in the Battlespace (Tactical, Operational or Strategic) of this War (or Combined Arms Police Action, as of Mr. A. Martyanov’s definition) Is impossible because there is the fog of war, the information we are receiving is old, compromised, unsure. We do not have the full of it on

“Ukraine, Bio-weapons, & the Pentagon”

by Keith Hartzler for the Saker Blog Are there American-run bio-weapon labs in Ukraine? After reading Dilyana Gaytandzhieva’s 29 April 2018 article “The Pentagon Bio-Weapons,” my answer is “Yes, but with caveats & qualifiers.” Gaytandzhieva claims there are eleven—three in Lviv; two in Dnipro; one each in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, & Uzhgorod. The fact sheets she provides appear to be from a United States government website, though she

Boomerang Sanctions

by Ghassan Kadi, for the Saker Blog Do Western sanctions have any chance of achieving their objectives? Perhaps we need to look back at history and see how the earliest recorded sanctions were implemented. Before the age of electronic transfers and massive international trading and complex technology came into existence, warring factions enforced sanctions on each other by way of imposing sieges, and therefore cutting off food and water supplies

Of skirmishes, wars and parasites

By Naresh Jotwani for the Saker Blog It is extremely difficult to relate general statements about human nature to very specific present-day situations. If one is close to the scene, he may miss the forest for the trees; from a distance, he may miss both. Fortunately, Saker does not object to forays into treacherous terrain! In that spirit, we start with a list of ten fairly simple words, referring to

By Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog For many years Europeans have said the European Union was the only way to have peace on the continent. I always had a tough time seeing the direct correlation. I often wondered if the thinking was: Europeans are so bloodthirsty and savage that they have to join themselves together just to keep from killing each other. It reminded me of English critic A.A.

Snapshot

By Fred Reed for the Saker Blog Everybody and his goat are talking about the Ukraine. Why not me? You might ask, But Fred, what do you know about it? To which I would respond, Look, this is journalism. You don’t need to know anything, just wing it, preferably using words you can spell. Admittedly this is more of a limitation than it used to be.

The GRU has exposed dangerous Ukrainian plans

by Batko Milacic for the Saker Blog During his daily briefing early on March 9, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, General Igor Konashenkov, said that Russian troops had seized documents confirming Kiev’s plans to attack the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in Donbass.
