Good evening, friends, First let’s begin with a map of how the situation was yesterday evening: The main news missing from here is that the Russian Black Sea Fleet conducted strikes on the Ukrainian coast southwest of Odessa. The other big news I already mentioned, the Russians safely took control of the Zaporozhie nuclear plant. Earlier the Ukronazis wanted a no fly zone above it to prevent another Chernobyl, only
In this post, I will be very short. First, the Ukrainian military used a Tochka-U missile to strike at a Nazi deathsquad near Mariupol. Read all the details here on Andrei Martyanov’s website: https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2022/03/well-so-much-for-unity.html. Second, here is a machine translated summary of the day by Boris Rozhin: 1. Kiev. Fighting in Bucha and in the Gostomel area. There are battles to the west of Kiev. Gradually, the city is being
Since it is too early to comment upon the military events of the day, that info comes with delay, I wanted to mention a few things about the politics of it all. First, from a purely military point of view, the outcome is not in doubt. Initially, about 120-150 thousand soldiers were facing each other along the LOC and the Russian Ukrainian border. According to Russian military experts, the Russians
So we are a week in and I think it is time to take short pause and see what happened over the last 7 days. The Russian attack began, as predicted, mostly by strikes with standoff weapons. 24 hours later, the Ukie air force and navy ceased to exist. In this initial phase, few Ukrainian units were directly engaged. The bulk of the Nazi forces is in Donbass and it
Dear friends, Here is a quick update. First, a (provisional) map (which is typically 6 hours late or so): I think that this map is self-explanatory, especially since the only major change is in that pink box. What we see here is what looks to me like an envelopment of the city of Odessa and the surrounding towns. I would also notice that the distance between the Russian forces in
First, let’s begin with a pretty decent map of the situation today: Here is a small commentary on what we see in this map: In red the most recent Russian movements today. The only major progress is inside the purpose square when Russian forces have penetrated deep in the rear of both Odessa and Kiev. So I have to wonder – are they planning a strategic cauldron??? Dunno, but I
This question was asked by some pressitute while Biden was walking to his helicopter today: Mr President, is Ukraine winning the war? Wow, just wow. Either she fully believes it, and then WOW or she doesn’t and then WOW again. This is a “Let’s Go Brandon” on a geostrategic level! :-) By the way, she followed up with a question about whether he worried about a nuclear war. I think
My dear TV western armchair generals, I get it, I promise. I really do! Your entire life you have been trained to see a successful military operation like so: Begin by bombing the shit of the “hadjis” or “sand niggers” with bombs and missiles, then flatten their town à la Fallujah, then move in with heavy armor and shoot everything which still moves or breathes. Then distribute chewing-gums to a
First, a hodgepodge sample of the kind of recent news: (sorry for the chaotic presentation, I am doing this all under time pressure) The International Chess Federation (FIDE) wants to sanction a Russian chess player for supporting the Russian intervention in the Ukraine. Hey, losers! This won’t help you! If you remove the Russians, the Chinese and Indians will still take all the titles from you :-P The Scala in
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
I warned my readers but alas, many ignored my warning. So all day I was flooded with stupid questions asking me to respond to western PSYOP fakes. And I have to admit, this time they pulled all their forces together: western ziomedia, Eurorodent media, the “worldwide solidarity campaign”, vodka being pulled out from US stores, etc. etc. etc. The example below was taken today from one British website, I just
I found pretty decent maps on the YouTube channel of Iurii Podoliaka and I will do something ugly but, I hope, effective: add a few things to his maps with my thick black marker. But first, this: it appears that yesterday Putin had ordered a temporary stop to the Russian offensive while talking with “Ze” but when the latter stopped talking, Putin gave a “full ahead” order. I will begin
Today was only day two of the Russian military operation. And yet, what a day it was!!! First, a quick update on the progress of Russian forces. Here is a bulletpoint summary for today: Kherson: liberated Nikolaev: fighting taking place in outskirts Konotop: taken by Russians Chernigov: blocked by all sides by Russian forces Melitopol: surrounded Mariupol: is under attack, street fighting Severodonetsk: under attack Kharkov: very heavy mopping up
Today is a major day in the Russian military operation. Why? Because Russian forces are now on the outskirts of many major Ukrainian cities. If yesterday was “standoff weapons” day, today is the first day when Russian forces can now begin to degrade Ukrainian artillery dispositions, engage Ukie armor and break through Ukrainian fortifications. Today is also the last day for US PSYOPs to try to present a counter-narrative (Ukies
I am getting emails from all types of sources about Ukrainian cities already being liberated. The problem is that there are, as predicted, A LOT of fakes out there, including from anti-Putin Russian interests. So rather than risk getting it wrong and list those cities, I will just offer a few comments and then take a break. I was expecting an operational-level Russian operation, but what I see today this
I parsed some info source and I can offer a few quick reactions to what is taking place. The operation is bigger than what I had predicted. However, I STILL don’t believe that Russia wants to invade the Ukraine. Let’s first see what Russia has already done using ONLY HER STANDOFF WEAPONS: The Ukrainian air defenses have ceased to exist The Ukrainian air force has ceased to exist The Ukrainian
Dear friends, I am opening another open thread. Please try to stick to FACTS and not just post opinions. PLEASE DO NOT, REPEAT NOT, POST VARIOUS RUMORS COMING FROM WESTERN PSYOP OUTLETS, including the entire western corporate media and social media. They now will spread all sorts of rumors and fakes and I don’t want them repeated here. Will post an analysis later today. Thank you Andrei PS: here is
Today, I want to begin with a small allegorical story. One upon a time, there was a bear sleeping in his lair and minding his business. One day, a small group of rodents decided to have some fun time pestering the bear. So they began running around, making a lot of noise (some even dared the bear to come out and fight them) and even threw colorful little pebbles at
I just listened to Biden (here if you have the stomach). Oh he is pissed, badly. Putin totally and comprehensively ignored him or the USA (one sign of that is that Putin did warn Scholz and Macron but, apparently, nobody told the White House). Scholz truly scared the Kremlin when he told that he pulled back the certification of NS2 “jetzt” that is “now”. Okay, he probably misspoke, he meant
Dear friends, I just spoke to our IT guru (Herb) and he told me that since the escalation in tensions around the Russian ultimatum to the West the number of pages served each day has doubled. We serve about 175’000 pages each day. That is a whopping 5+ MILLION pages per month (175’000*30.5=5’337’500). I think that this is 2M above our previous record. The truth is that the Saker blog
