I am just having fun of people likes of which presidential aide Arestovich, who is making up these fairy tales like one above mentioned.
Say HaHaHa, or something. Lots of people with varied backgrounds and countries reading here. I did not get the fun, sorry!
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately NATO leaders are blinded by hatred. Perhaps the Sauds can acquire Russian missile deterrence technology.
Some of the comments are really amusing:

How about arrival time in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, SF? The big American base in the Indian Ocean? Go to the source.
:) Yes, the narative that russia ran out of bullets and needed to resort the chemical weapons, definitly got a dent in it.
While looking at the empire of lies that is cable news while on the treadmill at the gym today, I saw Joementia had said that Putin “cannot remain in power” while in Poland today. Of course words mean little to nothing, but heretofore my impression had been that Biden was more of restraining force on the gaggle of terminally out of touch NeoCons running the State Dept.
I feel like he has turned a corner into an uglier landscape. My main concern is, are there any adults in the room in NATO’s leadership?
Non je pense depuis un bon moment qu’ils sont sous les ordres d’une force paranormale qu’on appel satan, il est derrière le bureau ovale du WH, une preuve c’est que chaque président us qui le pénètre changera de 180° vers le dieu du mensonge
No I think for a long time that they are under the orders of a paranormal force called satan, he is behind the oval office of the WH, a proof is that every US president who enters it will change 180° to the god of lies
Satan is the type of man of consummate dissimulation, unimaginable meanness, confined reality, malicious nature, and stupefied shamelessness. He depends on anonymity, that is, on not being recognised! It is difficult to recognise him because he is an individual figure only in religion, whereas in reality he is a member of a group. The unrecognised Satan is a frightening, terrible, all-crushing power; the unmasked Satan, on the other hand, is a figure of fun that arouses pity or disgust.
Covered ad nauseam by Aussie media: The Guardian’s line was “Biden says “butcher” Putin cannot remain in power”, a comment that was faithfully parroted by the Sydney Morning Herald.
It wasn’t that long ago when such statements from a “Head of State” might have been construed as declaration of open hostilities (or perhaps war?) We all know how WW1 started, do we not?.
In other (Aussie) news – our PM declined a meeting with the Chinese Ambassador since such a meeting would have appeared to be a “sign of weakness”. Maybe ScoMo might need reminding that Aussies pose ZERO threat to China. Our ancient (and frankly less than reliable) Collins Class submarines are easily detected, whilst our (comparatively tiny) surface fleet would be reliably sunk by current, fully-deployed Chinese ASM technology within 30 minutes of conflict being declared.
Add in Australia’s lack of defence against current Chinese ballistic missile technology – the DF- 41 (in production since 2015) has a range of “over 9000km” which co-incidentally is almost exactly the distance between Beijing and Canberra (9002km as the Crow flies). Up to 10 MIRVed warheads (with an estimated CEP of better than 100 metres), in practice this weapon alone makes our “defence capabilities” somewhat irrelevant.

I agree and normally I would be optimistic as all indications show the current mob will be out of power come May but the damage will have already been done as Uncle Sam used the past 12 years to drive a wedge between Australia and its major trading partner China.
We ordered F-35 JSFs despite acknowledging their inefficiency and still wait on their full delivery, dropped the French diesel subs for UK-US nuke subs with plans for a base on the East coast as well as Missiles that are supposed to deter China yet our major ship that was sent on a humanitarian mission to support Tonga had major power issues that had everybody scratching their heads…???
I guess with the price or diesel these days and availability we dodged a bullet there but the current Liberal-National government have made us a laughing stock around the globe…?
But rest assured PM ScoMo promised to send Ukraine lethal arms and thermal coal but I guess somebody forgot to tell him that Ukraine lost its access to its ports on the Black Sea and I’m not exactly sure what armaments we could possibly supply as we’re just as reliant on West supplying for us as Ukraine is!?!?
Actually the French subs we were going to buy had a nuclear option for power. What they did not have is the capability to carry nukes. NP Treaty, you know that thing. French were trying to abide by some of the rules at least. The UK/US subs, we don’t care which, because both have the capability the ones we were buying from the French did not. Things that make you go hmmmmm…
On the Collins…they are not as trash as they are made out to be. Old yes, noisy yes, but the Aussie submariners are, like many Aussie defence forces, reasonably smart and know how to make best use of the limited resources they have. A Collins class sub did extremely well in Hawaii a few years ago achieving their set task even with the difficulties imposed on them by both equipment and scenario.
I am in no way saying that they are fit for purpose or would be much of a deterrent. But they are not as useless as they are made out to be by some parties with vested interests, looking at you lobbyists and politicans who want jobs and infrastructure in their States. Hmm Qld or Northern Rivers…one only needs to look at the numbers to understand why.
ScoMo should have taken the call. We really need to be talking to the Chinese. Why we didn’t is pretty clear. No division in AUKUS/ANZUS (should be just AUS since NZ doesn’t get invited tot he party any longer due to their stance on nuclear weapons and ships/planes carrying them). I mean he does realise that all the trade the Chinese took from us was handed over to our best friends the US right? Oh sorry, we’re not supposed to talk about that.
The problem is “noisy”. Modern sonar is scarily efficient at target detection and discrimination; this is why NATO is a bit upset with the current generation of Russian hunter-killer subs – for all intents and purposes silent operation.
I was always rather amazed by the French getting the contract to supply replacement submarines – no co-incidence that they were not even on the short list, then, after reneging on the Russian Helicopter Carrier deal – they got the Aussie Sub Deal. We know “who” rewarded “whom” for doing as they were told, and since Australia was told who to buy from, then we may be assured we’d NOT be getting best value.
Mind you the acquisition timescale for the current “imposed choice” seems rather extended, and the way things are going I suspect we’ll never see those submarines. “Someone else” will be dictating our defence policy, and that “someone else” won’t be the USA.
We buy them from the US then the US deliver them. ie We send cash.
Scott Morrison and his holy choir have previous stated their imaginary bronze age sky god had given the white christian Australian a mission to protect Asia from the Chinese.
1) stating this your nations’ goal, it would not be out of line to suggest that at that point Australia essentially declared war on the Chinese? But given that Anglo American empire doesn’t follow the rules, why would China follow them? Could it be that China is simply waiting for right
2) Solomon Island declaration seems obvious as their intention is to impose their own ‘unipolar’ role exclusively deciding who gets sovereignty and who doesn’t. Diplomatically speaking I don’t think this gets Australia invited to many neighbour potlucks and in fact makes it impossible for a ‘very short list’ of regional friends to be invited because nobody in the Zone B would accept them as sovereign states. Did Australia give them even permission to go to the potluck? Or even try the potato salad?
3)The western church and Australia’s full throat embrace in a part of the world where nearly 7 billion people are not white and not Christian and no way, shape or form are going abandon THEIR beliefs. So end game IS the inevitable war to end all wars as the existential threat to the Zone B is the very existence of the western christian church and the fact it DOESN’T seem to want to quit it hostile imperial intentions. What strategy should the Chinese or Indians or ME countries or Malaysia follow
4) If Asia friendlies don’t break with their Empire fetish, then why would China or anyone not want to remind those islands like Western Samoa that their role is not waiting for the Second Coming but human shields. West Samoa is the US second largest airbase outside US and a major launch site for their massive fleets of bombers? Chinese have to take it out and in so doing will taking out the Samoans. Is this type of thinking — you have no future anymore– getting through to island nations like Solomon?
Is the strategy of the kinetic weapons that China is hotly pursuing a first strike weapon that produces the same level of destruction of a nuclear weapon but without the contamination? So they launch massively on Australia with reports tricking within the hour of millions dead and a country that no longer exists? The Chinese move to declare the original population (safely tucked away on reservations :-O) the legitimate guardian of the continent and Chinese alliance protection in perpetuity. If the former colonists are given a humanitarian corridor to Dunkirk themselves, fine…or were getting video where places like Sydney resemble post invasion Aleppo,Baghdad or Tripoli, fine too.
I admit I am getting scared because the US is gripped by massive elite instability caused by old men who want vindication, anointment and results! for their ceaseless lifetime work towards a Second Coming.
I am afraid and am starting to look realistically for rapid exit strategies from Canada’s west coast
Phil, I too am in Australia and it makes me wanna puke every time Scomo or that red-head excuse for a foreign minister open their mouths in regards to Russia or China. As if anyone gives a stuff about what Australia’s position is on the world stage.
He needs to take attention away from confirmed reports of his crackhead son being a conduit for CIA money to US biolabs in Ukraine: https://nypost.com/2022/03/26/hunter-biden-played-role-in-funding-us-bio-labs-contractor-in-ukraine-e-mails/
Agreed- such an insane statement even trumps normal democrat ridiculousness.
My first thought was that Biden is committed to attacking Russia in Ukraine because he knows there is dirt there will expose and ruin him.
But it may be a bigger plan. Shultz open statements about refusing to pay Rubles for gas means there is a large scale NATO plan to invade and that the complete idiot has just telegraphed it because he is too much of an imbecile to play it cool.
NATO is committed to the great reset and Russia stands in the way.
They will get ‘Reset’ all right-their new agenda will be very Green.
What could more green than the stone age?
If NATO does something stupid it could end like this
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xLRSmzGRLUk
And the problem is that there are only dumbf@cks in NATO and the US neocons
So nothing is impossible…
I think Scholz was acting.
He say I will not pay in rubles but he will end paying in rubles in a hide way.
I think is is pretty obvious that NATO will not participate, the seriousness of Russia is crystal clear and even the most mad western president don’t want to see his country destroy and the survivors become second hand citizens of a World dominate by China
Exactly! The way Brendon spoke was way way over the top, I sensed that the link found by the Russians of Hunter and the Labs, Burisma meant he will be pursued and taken care of by the Russians.
It also means he is feeling the heat from the electorate with 34% rating, the man is not struggling with dimentia but was seriously lashing out at the Russians for exposing him and Hunter.
In the next month or two, when the whole despicable empire of lies US/Nato will be exposed for the lies, intents of regime change and how they are a paper tiger, as others would say, the emperor has no clothes!
The attempted re-definition of the Biden speech was done to revert a situation where Russia would react to the statement as a declaration of war and to try to hide the actual intent of the US/Nato caliphate
Every “newspaper” here in France today tells us Biden called Putin a butcher. NATO and Zelenskyy words of wisdom dominate, while any attempt at even a modicum of balance is ruthlessly put in quotation marks and mocked. However, I do notice that whenever the speeches are reported, the comments (by normal French citizens) are almost all critical of the presentation which completely dominates the MSM. Many people in France must (though with forced secrecy) agree with the anti-nato position.
Bidet when of script, the NeoCons are thearing their hair out and doing damage control. There is a wide spectrum of statements to the effect of “He didn’t mean it like that, what he was saying was bla bla”.
Alguém saberia dizer mais informações sobre submarinos invisível da Rússia? e qual o mais poderoso submarino do mundo ?
MOD: From now on please provide your own translation before posting comment (as Saker said to do). These days moderation is most times too busy to do it for you.
Could anyone tell me more information about Russia’s invisible submarines? And what is the most powerful submarine in the world?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_System
This is probably the most powerful simply because no other country on Earth has a similar system. The unmanned sub can be armed with a 100megaton bomb which is double the size of the Tsar Bomb which was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created. It is silent/stealth and has infinite range due to nuclear reactor. It can sneak into any U.S. port or coast and annihilate the entire coast.
I applaud them for scooting around in that mini lit reactor, I could use one of those in my hood.
Because the vessel is unmanned, it also has a greater operational depth than comparable vessels, providing an added defence against conventional antisubmarine weaponry. I was under the impression that Status-6 was more of a “post apocalyptic retaliation weapon”, only to be used after a major (presumably nuclear) attack on Russia?
The effects of a 100MT detonation off the US coast would be devastating – not only would the target cease to exist, the resulting tsunami would cause significant devastation inland. Then there’s the fallout effect. Any onshore wind would carry this inland, adding to the human costs.
You’re right although it can be made into other “modes” such as a light 2 megaton mode for sneaking up on carrier groups. Apparently it can be used to approach at super slow speed at which speed it is virtually undetectable and then right when it’s near the target it shoots up to high speed and blows the carrier group away. And even if it’s detected that’s no problem because a nuclear warhead ensures the carrier group doesn’t survive anyway even if it’s detonated a bit farther away as the tsunami bowshock would split the spines of the ships.
One of my favourite underwater weapons was the VA-111 Shkval. Essentially a 200 knot (370 kph) underwater missile, and although the original version had a modest 4 mile (7km) range, later (and current) versions have stretched that to 9 miles (15km).
The major downside was the noise factor – so launch would have been a dead give-away for the submarine. In view of this there was “considerable interest” in development of a 2-stage device – slower (but near-silent) initial stage electric propulsion, using a similar prop geometry to the “black hole” current Russian diesel subs, with the high-speed stage being activated once well away from the host sub – so reducing the risk of hostile sonar location.
Obviously nothing on this on the “Net – however one realises that Countries tend NOT to publish design secrets in the public domain:-) . It would seem a logical (and therefore practical) solution to the “noise” problem, and therefore it is pretty reasonable to suppose this has at least been considered.
Kind of overkill if you ask me. Maybe overkill¹⁰⁰.
One interesting question? How is Ukrainian army being fed all this time?
They steal from the captive population. And their depleting food stocks. By all accounts they are not being resupplied to any extent.
This is another quandary RuF face; as the Ukies run out of food with the cities under siege, so too does the civilian population.
Interesting answer: they plunder the locals?
unfortunately Amies have been doing that for millennia
Usually not in their own country, though. The UAF is a hostile occupying army in Ukraine.
They have been stocking up for a while before the war but right now looting civilians is the standard procedure, asking with stealing civilian cars (legalised by Zelensky).
Quick update for only the few big/important developments of today:
1. Large surrenders around Kiev. 70++ many officers including confirmed (based on patch on uniform) Lieutenant Colonel https://www.bitchute.com/video/GRckno5YljHY/ They ran out of food/fuel/water and surrendered.
2. By far the most important advances/gains for RF forces have been around Izyum. Though a small part of south Izyum (south of the river) is still controlled by Ukrops, Russia has wheeled around them and pushed south and captured Kamyanka and is assaulting Sukha.
https://twitter.com/GeromanAT/status/1507764883860897804
If you look on a map this is already a bit of a distance towards Slavyansk. There are videos of Russia utilizing TOS1 thermobaric with massive barrages in this region, the earth is pockmarked to hell and Ukies here have taken MASSIVE losses because they recognize the juncture here as extremely strategically important to their backlines and rearguard/supply. They are fighting with all their might for this space.
You can see videos here of the TOS1 barrage https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1507810935716696070
https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1507811009880334344
There are also satellite photos of hugely cratered and pockmarked fields. This area is a real meatgrinder and Ukies have taken their largest losses of the past week here.
Also Russia has numerous pontoon bridges in the area where forces are pouring into https://twitter.com/hengenahm/status/1507816865598476298
https://twitter.com/JackDetsch/status/1507779212660420612
https://twitter.com/JackDetsch/status/1507778623935295490
Also there continues to be reports of Russian attacks as far SW of Izyum as Barvinkove so there’s definitely some type of advanced force operating in that area. This area’s of utmost importance as it’s one of the main resupply corridors for the Ukie cauldron and Russia now controls the crux of the junction here, stifling the Ukie battle group while continuous air strikes to the rear supplies around Kramatorsk drain the very last of Ukie fuel/lubricants/reserve armor.
3. Russia has completely taken the town of Slavutych
https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1507667161350909956
There’s videos of RF troops there but I won’t bother posting every little clip and clog up the report. The town is taken and RF forces have already negotiated with the mayor and staff for incorporation with civil/military administration of RF forces.
More importantly however, the city of Chernuhiv has been cut off. It was one of the cities left alone in the rearguard after RF forces initially stormed towards Kiev and simply bypassed many medium sized cities. It is a city of importance and now it is completely cut off on all its major axes. (Slavutych is on the outskirts of this city and thus has facilitated the aforementioned)
Incidentally, other reports indicate that more RF forces have begun to pour in from the north (Belarus) down towards the Kiev and Chernuhiv regions to continue fortifying positions here. https://www.bitchute.com/video/MFPqPpwWPzZm/
4. Mariupol is winding down to the last few quarters. Azov is being exterminated and we have daily reports/videos now of their top staff fleeing desperately dressed as civilians. Here’s a high ranking ‘commander’ that was captured today trying to sneak out: https://www.bitchute.com/video/gEzMlvwq3Sog/

Lastly as everyone has heard, Russia sent a big statement to the U.S. today. Literally as Biden was giving his speech in Rezsnow Poland on the border of Ukraine, Russia struck a powerful series of blows via Kh-101 missiles onto fuel depots in Lyviv on the border of Poland, a mere 80-90miles away from Biden’s “live speech”. In fact so close that you could likely see the giant columns of black smoke from where Biden was stationed. If that’s not a “statement” then I don’t know what is. Further confirmations now assert that Russia struck another depot/city in Dubno not far away as well.

does anyone have a comment on this interview
Can you provide translation? Anyway Strelkov has no clue what he’s talking about. Stop mythicizing the man. Fact of the matter is, he’s never commanded an army with ground/air/navy/+, only small forces. He has no clue about the logistics of a fully combined arms force. He’s been crying and whining since the very first days of the war and spreading nonstop misinformation and outright lies like at one point stating that “70% of the Russian army is suffering from Covid and is bogged down in Ukraine”. The true sign of any untalented commander is the age old tactic of “add more troops.” All he’s been whining every day is “We need 400k more troops!” But has no clue of the socio-political consequences of doing that because he only knows small unit tactics, not large scale strategies and economic leadership of a country. The things he says are “sound” in theory but he doesn’t have all the facts, he doesn’t know all the things happening behind the scenes that drive the Russian leadership to do the things they’re doing. In short, Strelkov is not a GENERAL and has never been a GENERAL. And quite frankly most of his “victories” in Donbass were stolen valor of Russian forces because Strelkov secretly called in mass MLRS strikes from the Russian side to disperse the Ukies that had surrounded him. And then he looked like a big “hero” afterwards simply because the Russian involvement had to be swept under the carpet for political reasons. Russian ‘behind the scenes’ actions made him look really good and turned him into a small ‘legend’ but now he takes the full credit and the ego has gotten to his head.
How many forces did Strelkov command at his peak? 5-10k men? Less? Maybe 2000-3000? What would his rank have maxed out at, maybe Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel of a regiment/battalion?
We’ve got Gerasimov who is an actual GENERAL and has served in leadership roles as far back as Chechnya, author of the ‘groundbreaking’ Gerasimov doctrine. I think I’ll trust his leadership over the 6th columnist weirdo Strelkov who hates Putin and wants to turn Russia back to a Monarchy (with himself as Tsar I’m sure….given his ego)
Hi ! You seems to be well informed , do you know anything about an abandoned Krashuka 4 command module near Kiev ?
The Ukrops intend to drive it west to deliver it to western specialist to copy and to counter the tech.
This news reported in the “The times of London” . Justin Crump military veteran claiming they already
recovered lots of ” goodies ” .
I don’t think it is just propaganda , the internal enemies of Russia also present in the military , and
pay off some soldiers to loose some of this equipment . This kind of loss would be very costly for the
Russians down the road .
Fake. That’s not a Krasuka module just a trailer that looks like one. Secondly, even if it was you can be guaranteed that Russia would either recover it right away or likely destroy it with an airstrike. The problem with these photos that float around is it’s very simple to take a photo of an object sitting there and mislead the people as to what really happens with that object afterwards. Just because someone took a photo doesn’t mean they were able to actually retrieve it. In Syria whenever Russia lost an important object like a downed helicopter (there’s a video of this) which was still in one piece and retrievable, Russia bombed it immediately in order to not allow it to fall into enemy hands. So you can be sure if there was something of actual value like the EW station it would either be bombed or specialist retrieval team would get it back.
And no I’m not just talking generally, I know the exact photo and unit you’re talking about and on several threads experts chimed in stating that is not a Krasuka unit. I compared it myself to real Krasukha command posts and it looks nothing like them. More fake psyop propaganda from desperate losing Ukies.
I am not sure about this incident, but I doubt the Russian would keep Karushaka-4 so close to the front line as to be taken over by the enemy in full working conditions.
Electronic warfare system are kept somewhat behind the front lines, well camouflaged and soldiers have strict orders to destroy the system if falling in enemy hands is imminent.
If the event is true indeed, then the Russian have failed on all above mentioned safety mechanisms. Hard to believe, but not impossible. Besides these system are not manned by conscripted soldiers by by rather than by warrant officers or officers. That makes the incident both less likely to be real and really outrageous negligence if indeed really happened.
That is to say not that I do not have my worries about the motivation of the regular Russian armed forces. From the plethora of video clips on both sides, it has become evident that the Donbass irregulars and the Chechen’s ( the latter also are heavy on PR and posturing ) appear far more motivated than the Russian troops. But that is another topic.
+1 Thanks. Informative.
Rade, please tell us what your link is all about. Do not only post a link and ask for a comment without giving an idea of what the link is all about.
I don’t know Russian and I thought some of you knew. I’m from Bosnia. They are preparing new chaos for us here. We are in fear. He helped us in the war. we are shocked
Nightvision, Good Job providing the latest developments in Ukkraine.
I, too, was impressed by the bombing on the Ukraine/ Poland border.
I’m eagerly awaiting the official announcement by DNR that Mariupol has been liberated.
Today, in a tweet, Scott Ritter said that Zelensky is going to surrender sooner rather than later. CNN is going to have a hard time spinning that one.
Thanks. I’ll have to disagree with Ritter on that take, I doubt Zelensky will ever surrender. It’s very clear that the final U.S./CIA exit strategy is to make Zelensky a Juan Guaido / Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya style “gov’t in exile” figure. He has way too much charisma and hollywood screen-presence for the CIA to waste him, perfect leader for the dumbed down modern Zillennial ‘youth’ movements of the world. The only way he “surrenders” is if some sudden military coup takes him out from the inside, led by some old guard ‘realists’ who don’t want to see tens of thousands more Ukrainian soldiers killed for nothing.
Whether Zelensky surrenders or gets captured, a public execution should be staged like they staged with Saddam Hussein, as if his own people were dragging and hitting. Civilians deposing Zelensky should be a plausible event, even though the Zionist media will still cry foul
They may make him a martyr.
no make him an official clown in the kremlin
Charisma? Zelensky is a clown. That’s what happen when you feed the public asinine super heroes movies for years on end, they start mistaking theatrics for personality. Most if not all of the west political figures are either sinister cockroaches or mediocre actors. Compare to Russian and Chinese dignitaries, all of them are competent and articulate. The hysteria occidental leaders display is maddening.
A lot of spin here
Russia needs Zelensky to negotiate with as head of Ukraine’s government. Russia will protect him from the ultra nationalists, they need him physically and mentally fit. If Z is taken out it will be difficult to find and appoint a successor. Everything will be done legally and above board. Z does not have to surrender, he will be well treated. Russians play the long game quite skillfully and Putin has a competent team around him.
“Russia needs Zelensky to negotiate with as head of Ukraine’s government.”
Ukraine hasn’t had a government since the fall of the USSR.
And even if someone wants to pretend it did, that government was murdered in 2014 by the NATOzis.
I entirely agree with you. Mr. Green is much more valuable to Russia than the US alive. Protect him and encourage him to tell us the whole story.
Every day, I pray to God to protect both Ukraine and Russia, both Volodymyr and Vladimir, to give them the strength to do what they must do. I think I don’t have to worry very much about Putin’s well-being, but I worry very much about Ze. He is is for all appearances surrounded by very nasty people and faring poorly psychologically for it. Naive fool ran for President…
I have different opinion on this and I think that if rumour about Russian attempts to assassinate him in the early phase of the war are true, that is in itself a confirmation that the Russians have more use of Ze as fertilizer than as rallying point for the Ukrainian cause. I live in the west ( though originally form East Europe) and the MSM gives him more screen time than it gives the local politically leaders and have raised him to deity the status of Greta Thunberg. He keeps calling for every one to get involved the war, is supported by Igor Kolomoisky( other Jew) and is determined to fight the Russians to the last Ukrainian ( he could not care less about the civil population or Ukrainian soldiers)
If he were to disappear, it would be somewhat more difficult to replacement him immediately with someone that would have the appeal to public ( he is an actor after all). I am family confident that the fractures within the Ukrainian politic and military leadership would become more transparent if the scumbag were to be vanquished and the Russian could certainly find someone more reasonable ( not CIA stooge) to work with. As long as Ze is alive that is hardly possible.
I tend to believe Ze is no longer in Ukraine. Russians have the electronic means to geo-locate his position. If anywhere in Ukraine, he could be killed with Iskander or Kinzhal the way the ex Chechen president Dudayev was. If he however is in Poland, there is not much the Russian can do ( expect having perhaps martyr in Ze’s inner circle to do the job);
No one tried to assassinate him, that is a complete laughable rumor. There were VDV/Spetsnaz incursions into central Kiev but it was for the purpose of CAPTURING the leadership in order that the entire Ukraine Armed Forces might surrender. If they wanted him “assassinated” they could have easily done so with precision munition onto 11 Bankova Street at any point in the war.
Thanks for the compilation of updates Nightvision. I always look forward to your comments as they are very informative.
Too bad there’s no filtering in the chats ;)
Whats your opinion on a false-flag scenario?. With reality creeping up, the west becomes more desperate and can no longer fabricate nor support there barrage of lies on media. There seemed to be a slip of the tongue by the senile Old man in Poland during his visit with the 84th?
Thanks. Yes falseflag chances are always really high, of course we’ve already had SEVERAL and so they will continue. There was numerous falseflag attempts already from 1. the initial Chernobyl one, 2. to the Zaporizhzhia plant one, 3. to the Kharkov physics institute nuclear reactor, 4. to the “chem/bioweapons” stolen from Ukrainian biolabs. All have failed so far, but there will be more and more of them. We will continue seeing falseflags and when Russia is really close to victory I predict they will escalate to really serious ones. For now U.S./CIA is still pretty comfortable, as are Ukie ‘leadership’ who still sit playing X-box in their offices (Xbox controller was seen in a recent pic of Arestovych’s office as he was giving “serious updates”). But once Russia closes the cauldron in the east and really tightens the noose on Kiev, we will see some major fireworks fly. Remember MH17 was shot down by Ukies right at the height of the fighting in the summer of 2014 in order to gain int’l concensus so they can help their flagging military campaign. I believe we’ll see the same thing happen that will somehow unexpectedly turn the tide of the war later on, but like I said I think it will be much later near the end, and we’re not close to it yet. Logically as you said it could happen somewhere in west Ukraine near Poland as that’s where their fake international ‘authorities’ like OPCW and all these fraudulent CIA groups can come in and “validate” that whatever falseflag was in fact caused by Russia whereas in the east they’d find it harder to gain access to tamper with any ‘evidence.’
I believe the threat of a direct biological attack against the leadership of the RF is particularly high. The ‘letter’ of Alexandr Bortnikov coincides with the strange insistence of the WH allegedly on not wanting regime change. Grandpa nevertheless mindlessly chattered about the aftermath of ‘when we go in’ during his European tour. That must have been the promise made to their allies. The fact that Gigi Gronvall assured all in the Carnegie screed that individually targeted BW were ‘too expensive’, has made their designs obvious.
The mass media is flooded with Western-manufactured misinformation and false narratives at an catastrophic level. I salute the host and contributors of this site for their in-depth information and critical analysis.
Many thanks, Nightvision
….In fact so close that you could likely see the giant columns of black smoke from where Biden was stationed…..
Recall before the peacekeeping mission started, Moscow said if RF units were attacked by (NATO) forces, the response would be on those giving the orders.in other words on the HQ areas in NATO and Washington
Thanks for the vids,good to see some reality unlike the garbage we are given here in the UK by the MSM prostitutes.
But you forgot to write that the Ukies recaptured the Trostyanets town in Sumy oblast.
This is becoming a disaster for Russia.
The Solomon Islands is entering a security deal with China choosing sides against the West which includes Australia and Japan in the Pacific. China could deploy forces in the Solomon Islands. China is clearly responding to Biden’s threats and to the clear agenda to try to destroy Russia. This is a strategic shift in security concerns in the Pacific and it is obviously all because of this proxy war against Russia. What is not in the headlines is that the US, UK, and Australia all signed a landmark defense treaty last year,to strengthen Western allies’ presence in the Indo-Pacific. China saw this as the first step in creating NATO in the Pacific which would eventually target China.
Funnily enough the head of state of the Solomon Islands is her majesty queen Elizabeth 2 !!
There is a video on YT showing her parents teaching her the Nazi salute.
This is kind of a big deal as it allows China to corral Australia to the SE and deny the Pacific Fleet from Hawaii. Huge upset for AUKUS if China can build it out as a major naval base. With India and China making nice now, Indian ocean starts looking less friendly. If Saudi and Iran can reach a peaceful settlement, China can start securing the BRI waterways from the ME to the China sea. Plus, China placing a naval base on the Atlantic side of Africa soon challenges the empire from that side. The new global configuration is slowly coming into focus. The “international community” of the West is going to get hemmed into a very small sandbox. As the economic tides begin to shift from the West to the East, the empire is going to have a harder time maintaining that vast military and an even harder time trying to defend it against what is shaping up to be a consolidated Eurasia (sans the European peninsula).
Using sealanes from China to the ME is not a secure action. Chinese understand this hence their focus on the overland routes for BRI. The main issue is with the Strait of Malacca. This Strait is one of the reasons Australia has nuclear submarines in the offering. UK/US and Chinese sub count in the area is comparable. Add Australian subs into the mix and the balance tips to AUKUS. Australia’s primary role for those subs will be the monitoring of that waterway and closure of it if required.
There is a reason China wants to get a naval base operating from the mainland in Southwest Asia. It helps counter the Strait of Malacca bottleneck for any commercial ships caught on the ‘wrong’ side in the event things escalate.
Basic geogrpahy says the sealanes will never be as safe as China would like them to be unless the systems used by their opposition are removed.
Apologies to the mods for this heading off-topic but a response to the Solomon Island issue was kind of needed.
This is by far the biggest story of the day. What do the Solomon Islanders know that we don’t? I do not know, but whatever it is they learned of it during the COVID lockdown….
A Chinese naval base in the Solomons would threaten the sea line of communication between Hawaii and Australia. This is exactly what the Japanese tried to do during WWII, resulting in the Guadalcanal Campaign.
That the Australian government are a lying pack of corrupt morons who say one thing, then do nothing?
I completely agree. This is indeed a development of huge importance, although I doubt whether the morons currently in charge of the US and its western poodles, have any idea of the hornet’s nest they’ve stirred up by goading Russia into intervening in Ukraine. China has definitely woken up and realised they’ll be next.
However, let’s not kid ourselves that there’s anything benevolent about the CCP or that the rulers of the Solomon islanders are responding to anything other than their own interests. I expect some huge bribes have come their way. After all, bribes, threats and balckmail have been the main way Washington has got its way for decades. (Just recently, I recall Lavrov stating that he’d heard the US marshalled its huge UN vote against Russia by all means including threatening the children of UN representatives studying in the US. I don’t doubt it). This is a game of the hardball and the West started it. I expect this is just the Somon Islands are just the begnning of a major global strategic shift, with a steady stream of small supposed western aligned countries, peeling away. Once the French and Germans sense how the wind is blowing, they’ll join what could become a stampede. Unfortunately, we in Britain and the other “5 eyes” are likely to stick to the US like the idiots we are, right to the end.
I suspect the government of the Solomon Islands very clearly sees “the writing on the wall”, and has decided that being on good terms with 1.7 billion Chinese makes far better sense than being on good terms with the US.
This has received a deluge of uniformly negative coverage in Australia, with our Defence Minister Peter Dutton getting very hot under the collar, since I suspect he too is very aware of the strategic consequences.
It might be useful to also note that China is VERY involved with investment in Vanuatu – with significant deals having been agreed for development of maritime facilities. It is therefore hardly inconceivable that such facilities might be used for at least resupply / repair of military vessels.
So it is true then…this is really really enormous.
A French friend who regularly goes to Tonga passes through to tell me of the Chinese bribes to establish themselves; cars, motorscooters, cash, etc. and that the projects they undertake are usually done with exclusively Chinese labor – who are then left behind as ‘adjunct colonizers’.
The worrying sign was the headlines in local Eastern state papers that ” Australia may have to invade the Solomons and replace the government”
Ye gods, what are the imbeciles thinking!
Lord it is never ending, is it not?
The US, the Five Eyes, and US ‘allies’ are committed to one philosophy:
We – the chosen “Free Democracies” (although the last two years have shown they are in fact Fascist totalitarian regimes and aspiring dictators) – are allowed to overthrow all governments who don’t toe-the-line and support our exceptionalism and our geopolitical interests to the determent of their own interests.
Or to paraphrase George ‘Dubya’:
You’re either with us or against us, and if your against us – we get to blow your countries up and kill your populations in the name of “Freedom and Democracy.”
Jesus wept.
That was also on News.com.au –
https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/australia-must-ready-solomon-islands-invasion-to-stop-china-security-deal/news-story/d53d32a38e000a45a736df4fc7f8f38f
Seeing as the Solomons Government has all but formalised the arrangements, then it is perfectly possible that said Government might ask China for some help in repelling such an invasion.
A nice opportunity for the Chinese to gain some experience destroying NATO assets (and maybe finally destroy the Aussie obsession with “War Victories”).
Oh good heavens Jon, the Australian Federal Police did that back in about 2003.

Why does it seem odd that to me Azerbaijan suddenly decided to start attacking Armenia right when Russia is in the middle of an military operation in Ukraine,I smell a rat perhaps the west want to open a second front for Russia in her underbelly and stretch her thin.just saying
There’s nothing ‘odd’ about it. It’s pretty openly known that 1. Turkey has pushed them into opening a second front and 2. Ukrainian ministers have openly requested for Azerbaijan to open a new front specifically to help them against Russia. This is not even anything hidden. Also, Russia removed many/most of its peacekeepers from Nagorno-Karabakh to bring them to Ukraine, so Azerbaijan saw the opportunity to attack an undefended Armenia and seize more territory.
I was watching Azerbaijan. Also Syria, trying to provoke and stretch Russia.
Turkey and Israel figure heavily in both countries.
Russian ambassador to Syria: Israel is provoking us to react
The Russian ambassador complained that Israeli strikes aim to “escalate tensions and allow the West to carry out military activities in Syria.”

“We’re watching what Iran does closely. But we’re now watching what Israel is doing in Azerbaijan,” Foreign Policy quotes an unnamed US intelligence officer. “And we’re not happy about it.”
Israel and Azerbaijan have grown increasingly close in recent years, with Israel buying increasing amounts of oil from Azerbaijan while Azerbaijan has agreed to buy $1.6 billion worth of defense hardware from Israel. Iran has recently accused Azerbaijan of helping Israeli intelligence assassinate its nuclear scientists.
http://iran-times.com/does-israel-have-an-azerbaijan-airbase/
“Azerbaijan has agreed to buy $1.6 billion worth of defense hardware from Israel”
They will regret that, they may as well burn the cash. Israhell defense hardware LOL. Ask Hizbollah and Hamas about the mighty Israhell Iron Dome.
Azerbaiyán think that can make an advantage of the situation, because if Russia attacks them now could make Irán angry, although I doubt so.
If Azerbaiyan only do some strikes and stop Russia is unlikely to respond, but if they became to agressive maybe they will find a unpleasant surprise.
They think they have some leverage to Russia becuase Russia take care of “allies” but in the current situation the patient of Russia could be smaller and strategically a hit against Azerbaijan Gas infrastructure it’s very Beneficial for Russia.
Azerbaiyan should be careful of not to provide a clear casia belli, or will find that support of Turkey means nothing against the anger of Russia
I think Iran had the last say there.
🇮🇷🇦🇲⚡️IRGC: Any military intervention in Armenia will face the reaction of the Armed Forces of Iran.
How to do ‘Rubles for gas’ is easy; honor the current contracts in Euros… but sell all the extra gas now being ordered, to refill the Euro gas storage facilities, only for Rubles or Gold.
This keeps Russia from default, but keeps the EU from getting all the gas they need for Euros.
Of course, new contracts can be written once the current ones are fulfilled… if Russia still agrees to sell gas to it’s enemies.
Why to honor the current contracts? Is absurd to give gas by euros you can not use unless they are pay in cash.
Russia should not sell gas in Euros or dollars and that’s all, they are not losing anything.
Germany speaking about suing Russia is pathetic
, suing what and where. They have broken all relation with Russia, what do they want to sue.
Buy gas in rublos or don’t receive, easy choice
Russia should not break its word, not become liyer and thief like ‘collective west’. Honesty pays off in long term; plus the global South is watching and judging who to believe, support, and follow
@Rudy
Stop whining; you obviously are not a lawyer to make silly comments like that. Contract law everywhere provides for such cases when an “Act of God” – force majeur, in this instance a “VV Putin’s Act” – affects the execution of a contract. The contract may be terminated/rescinded if its completion is too onerous or impossible. But a change in the manner of payment does not go to the root of the contract to make it unenforceable. Besides, the Germans need the stuff. Another thing, the Russian state is not a party to the contract.
There are lawyers in Russia, do you know? VV Putin is one, by the way.
It’s lunacy for the West to whinge about broken contracts after it openly steals Russia’s foreign reserves.
Obviously there were contracts governing how foreign reserves are handle but these contracts were abrogated by the US and their friends.
Typical Western neo-con thinking: our contracts can never be broken and must be honored, but your contracts are can be broken by us (US) on a whim when it serves our own interests.
And in the end, it leads to the destruction of the USD as the reserve currency as well as leading to a situation where no sane country in the Global South or Zone B trusts the US and US ‘allies’ when it come to managing currency reserves – or banking in general for that matter.
Slowly but surely parallel societies are going to be build and economic caldrons formed around a stagnating West. Zone A which embraces the US as the ruling hegemon, and then Zone B and the Global South (everyone else) who bonds together in mutual economic and defensive pacts and alliances. When 4+ billion people live Zone B – who needs Zone A?
The sanctions will likely trigger Force Majure as well. Each agreement will have a choice of law provision as well as a location and tribunal for disputes. Gas for rubles is an objective and hortatory not an accomplished fact.
Russia isn’t breaking anything. The “word” is a moral thing and the global south knows very well that the shift to the ruble has been forced because of western sanctions. No one will judge Russia for choosing to force the hand and pretend to be payed in rubles.
As for the legality of it, yes it is illegal. But sanctions are even more so. No one can complain if you give a bunch to a thugh who has just stabbed you.
It is said that the contracts for providing Russian gas all include option to pay in rubles.
I think the problem is that with all the sanctions, exclusion from SWIFT, and frozen assets it is difficult for Russia to process payments.
The EU has been living in a fantasy world, where idealised words and aspirations are divorced from reality. For example they seem not to connect the immigration crisis with their own actions through NATO in the Middle East.
In the words of Marie Antoinette, it’s time for the EU to eat cake. But unfortunately they need to pay for it in rubles.

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off.
For those of us living “Down Under”, we ALL know the agenda being peddled non-stop by our MSM. This goes almost without saying in that Australian policy is entirely dictated by the US, irrespective of the party in power.
My concern is that for at least the past five days, we’ve been continually “reminded” that NATO “has good evidence” that Russia is planning a CW attack, (since “we all know Russia’s losing”). Russia destroyed their entire CW and BW arsenal decades ago (with independent verification of this event). That’s not to say they would not be capable of restarting development and production if the need arose, however it is also of note to remind ourselves that the US has NEVER destroyed THEIR CBW arsenal – I seem to remember that they “couldn’t afford to” – the Country with the World’s largest military budget by a country mile!
“Can’t afford” to destroy internationally-banned weapons (Geneva Convention be damned), but plenty of money for clandestine BW research in over 100 “conveniently overseas” laboratory complexes though, which is at least interesting.
So, since the MSM are being very industrious in implanting the idea that “Russia is preparing a CW attack” it might be reasonable to assume this will be the false flag of choice. Then what happens?
Is NATO going to use this as “justification” for active involvement? No-one in “The West” will dare to question the rhetoric (and those of us who do had better keep quiet – for example, ANY suggestion of Russian support in NSW Health is NOT acceptable).
Russia will be entirely justified in regarding this as a WMD attack, and I think we all know their policy on retaliation. On this basis alone, one would hope that those in power in NATO might think again (but since the US is calling the shots, and the well connected “over there” feel safely isolated from the consequences of their actions, then maybe such “common sense” isn’t so common).
Should the CW attack take place in the Donbass, then the likelihood of contamination reaching Russian territory may be significant. Again we should be very mindful that the Russian High Command have clearly stated their response to ANY WMD attack on ANY part of Russia.
Ladies and Gents – your thoughts please. Obviously things are “somewhat delicate” (especially since Russia’s wiping the floor with the Ukrainian Armed Forces), however the Western MSM seems very unconcerned with potential escalation. The impression is that the US High Command regard the EU population as expendable (just as they regard the Ukraine population as expendable) – as clearly stated by one Madeleine Allbright re. the massive Iraqi casualties.
Provoke Russia into using their short range WMD, and use that as a causus belli for full NATO engagement. After all this worked just fine with Pearl Harbour, didn’t it!
I think the U.S./NATO will stage the false flag— they’re laying the propaganda groundwork for it and even Lloyd Blanfein echoed it in a tweet. After they launch the major false flag they believe Russia overwhelmed by the orchestrated international reaction which will cause a dizzying disorientation allowing the U.S. and NATO to move on Ukraine. At the CIA behavioral analysis site in rural Virginia the assembled team of blue & green badger psychiatrists and psychologists have already determined that Putin/Shoygu/Russia will back down with the planned combination of moves beginning with the false flag gambit. There are already CIA and Pentagon plans on running Russia.
Ergo, if Russia doesn’t go all in at the time of the false flag, it’s game over for Russia, and U.S. troops will be occupying Russian oil fields in 2023.
Such an attack would be regarded as an “existential threat” to Russia.
VVP made it VERY clear to the West how Russia will respond to such an attack.
Play this sort of silly game, and there will NOT be a “USA” in 2023.
Trouble is the US neocons still think they can bluff their way through, and Russia will back down. It would take a Pentagon coup to stop them – if there are enough in the Pentagon capable of this.
False flag won’t change anything in Ukraine. NATO and US will never step inside Ukraine while Russian military is there. Never. Let alone control Russian oil fileds. It is all bark no bite. At the end of the day, even if they try to bite, RS-28 Sarmat or poseidon is too much to chew on. Russia is going to the very end this time. As Putin said, the world is not worth its existence without Russia in it.
These are people who believe that whatever they think is true, if they think it sincerely enough, will be true. Something like Peter Pan and the ability to fly. In WWII, the Japanese also considered themselves unique in their spiritual commitment to glory. They really were quite an impressive foe for it, and I also appreciate that they were forced into it, a lot like Russia has been now. Gen. Isoroku Yamamoto had been to New York City and had seen what strength America really had, says my Japanese husband, but the rest of the cabal had not and were not interested in hearing pessimistic news.
So the US claims a Russian biowarfare attack and vilifies them in their media realm.
Meanwhile the Eurasian media world convinces their realm that the US perpetrated it.
The two realms continue to diverge which is perhaps the principal desired end of the current conflict. So it really doesn’t matter what happens with such an attack: it will just heighten what is already going on and which – at least for now – both sides want, namely separation from the other.
The American axis believes that by isolating Russia and as much of Eurasia as it can that Russia will collapse and no longer be an obstacle to their ongoing Empire.
The Eurasian axis believes they can contain any crazy Samson option shenanigans by the Pathocracy which may erupt as they continue to push the US into terminal decline so that ultimately they can become a normal country again in their emerging multipolar, Eurasian-based civilization.
Eurasia has resources, manufacturing, military and land-based contiguous geographical integration.
Maritime has financing, military, media and far-flung alliances.
Eurasia clearly has the edge.
Auz msm depicts orders from above….so much for the lucky country.

Solomon Islands deal with China ? Australia will be surrounded. Paul Keating former Prime Minister stated that Australia taking on China is like throwing a tooth pick at a mountain.
Ridiculous AUKUS submarine deal should see some nuclear powered subs in 2050.
The collins class subs we were building in Adelaide tended to leak a bit best as a surface vessel :)
Anyway the real annoyance is how our leaders keep their power by agitating it’s citizens with rubbish.
Meanwhile some countries are trying to make a difference and create a multipolar world beyond the US / NATO doctrine of atrocities.

Thanks for all the articles and comments they present a clearer picture.
In Russia we trust.
The scenario of a CBW attack in the Donbass designed to provoke the Russians into a comparable retaliation certainly is plausible given how insane and malevolent the empire is, but is that really the kind of propaganda-oriented “false flag” everyone is expecting?
Given that the US government is the ultimate example of a cowardly bully, I’d expect more of a true false flag, for example something like a CIA-engineered CBW terrorist act within Poland that kills lots of Poles which they then blame on Russia.
This would be much easier to carry out as well.
Then they’d have the cause-for-war they wanted without even having to provoke a Russian escalation first.
There’s another story repeated in the french Figaro for example that Russia is ready to use a tactical nuclear bomb in Ukraine, always, because “she’s losing the war”.

Highly graphic, but shows the difficulties under which the DPR militia are fighting.
This popped into my mind: Russian success in the next few weeks will cause a game change and an opportunity for NATO. Russia’s primary objective is securing the original boarders of Donbass with a critical port in Mariupol. That’s about to happen. This actually gives NATO leverage, opens a door to make a move, if it has one planned. Russia could be confronted with taking its “winnings” the Donbass and Mariupol and go home or face an escalation and confrontation with NATO. Kind of like the old Price Is Right game show, keep the $50,000 you got in hand or bet it on what’s behind the curtain. No idea what Russia’s real objectives are whether it sees Donbass plus Mariupole as minimal gains or substantial gains, I’m only just pointing out that if NATO wants to strike the time is nigh.
Of course unknowns are Russia’s plan for Odessa and Kherson area which is existential to Ukraine as without it becomes landlocked, so how hard does Russia want to slam it to Ukraine. Also Russia’s pains for Kharkiv and Kiev.
Anyone want to discuss? Would love to hear what or host thinks.
*Also Russia’s plans for Kharkiv and Kiev.
Take a look at today’s map and ask yourself does it match what you are saying.
The “primary objective” of the Russian operation has nothing to do with Donbass.
The primary objective of the Russian operation is to put strategic missiles inside Ukraine and Belarus. To do this, it requires eliminating the existing Ukrainian government, eliminating the existing Ukrainian military, and eliminating the neo-Nazis and reducing the influence of the hard-line nationalists.
To do that requires capturing all of Ukraine right to the Polish border. Donbass is just stage one of this operation. It’s critical because the bulk of the Ukrainian army is there in the east. Once they are dealt with, that will free up all the Russian forces there, plus the LDR, plus the reserve forces sitting on the border. That will enable Russia to plow over the rest of Ukraine rapidly, facing minimal resistance since the Ukrainian military will be out of ammo and fuel.
Kiev will be starved out as will any other major cities of strategic importance. Russia doesn’t need to “occupy” Ukraine, just control the most strategic locations, until its political goals are met. Then Russia will withdraw the bulk of its troops.
Once the new Ukrainian government is constructed and the Ukrainian military and security services are reoriented, Russia will negotiate a deal to install Russian military bases with strategic missiles inside Ukraine and Belarus, to counter the US missiles in Poland and Romania.
Russia will then proceed to “step two” of the “military-technical measures” it warned the West about last year. Ukraine is just step one.
Of course, I could be utterly wrong about all of this. But in my view it is the only logical way for Russia to achieve its security objectives.
“The “primary objective” of the Russian operation has nothing to do with Donbass.
The primary objective of the Russian operation is to put strategic missiles inside Ukraine and Belarus. … To do that requires capturing all of Ukraine right to the Polish border. ”
What are you smoking? Some of that CNN crack?
(Keep it civil please. MOD)
Look at the maps .. clearly Russia has no intention of “capturing all of Ukraine right to the Polish border” …That would be the US strategy when they invade a country, and apparently none of the commentators in the mainstream media can comprehend that Russia can have a different strategy.
Look at the maps .. and take special note of the rail lines. It certainly appears that all Russian movement west of the Dnieper has been done solely to cut the rail lines and isolate Odessa, Kiev and the bulk of the Ukrainian forces east of the Dnieper from any resupply from the West. If there’s another, LOGICAL explanation for lack of ground attack there, I’d like to hear it.
@The Owl,
It’s obvious the Russians have been measured in this operation simply to limit damage to infrastructure and keep civilians out of harms way. I agree with Richard Steven Hack, this whole operation is much larger than the Donbass. It’s about achieving leverage on NATO to further demilitarize East Europe.
I believe you are onto something. Just a small suggestion, it should say eliminating not reducing the influence of hard-line nationalists. Russia will eradicate the existance of any Bandera ideology in Ukraine, one way or another. That is the only way for complete denazification of Ukraine or whatever is going to be named in the future.
The primary objective of the Russian operation is to put strategic missiles inside Ukraine and Belarus.
Interesting proposition but why would Russia want to do that with their strategic missiles, whether non-nuclear or nuclear (ICBM)? Russia can hit any place in Europe now with the missiles in its arsenal. The air-launched Khinzals — some say it’s a hypersonic version of the land-based Iskanders — have been proven in the Ukraine and can deal with Aegis in Poland or Romania. It’s evident that RF doesn’t follow the US doctrine of placing nuclear warheads outside its territory, and it doesn’t need to actually because like I said, it can reach any target not just in Europe, but around the globe. And if we’re talking about nuclear strategic weapons, we’ve not even considered the third leg of RF’s nuclear triad, those carried in submarines. Plus, in terms of weapons and deployment security, it is safer to keep your own strategic missiles on your territory. Submarines can be considered RF territory in this sense.
RF MoD has just declared that things are going to plan and that they’ll be concentrating on liberating the Donbass — I’ll take them on their word. There’s a hint there that they’re about to heat up the Donbass cauldron and the AFU in the cauldron are in for a torrid time these coming days. Unless they surrender, which is a distinct possibility — it’s difficult to keep going if you’re constantly under fire and progressively getting starved of water, food, ammo, fuel.
To do that requires capturing all of Ukraine right to the Polish border.
That’s going to be a big ask. I’m not saying RF can’t do it but its going to need a different sort of operation. But the main thing is, for various reasons, I’m not sure Russia wants to do it. The only value I can see in a ground incursion towards Lvov or into western Ukraine is if RF is planning the operation discussed below.
I’m guessing that in the next phase, apart from the Donbass, RF will probably, as a secondary operation, aim at securing Transnistria by moving on Odessa and the surrounding area; perhaps securing parts of the oblast while investing Odessa as per Kiev. RF would want to protect Transnistria’s eastern flank but of course will make sure to not rock the boat with CIS member Moldova in the process.
I don’t necessarily disagree with anything you wrote, but I think you/we can step back further in terms of identifying ‘Russian objectives.’
Ukraine can be regarded as a battlefield in a wider geopolitical war most of which is being waged asymmetrically although in relatively limited fashion to date (unless you feel that covid was somehow part of it which is a huge sidebar issue we can ignore for now).
I believe that geopolitically Russia’s aims are to:
Establish herself as a core nation in the emerging multipolar Eurasian civilization. This has begun with the symbiotic relationship between Russia and China wherein each has voluntarily become inseparably intertwined with the other to effect mutual unbreakability (of the alliance). Next major power in line is India to which end China FM is visiting there next week (after India refused a lower level junket of MP’s led by the Speaker last week).
Iran is already on board with Saudi Arabia and others making positive gestures viz oil trade.
Next in line is – TA-DA! – Germany, which still has an incomplete constitution following WWII and tens of thousands of foreign troops stationed, albeit theoretically as protectors not occupiers. For Germany to join in this great new Eurasian civilization venture she has to be prized from the US.
For this to happen, the US needs to be dissuaded from foreign ventures abroad. The simplest way to do this is to effect exhaustion both political and financial. The US is a house of cards waiting to be blown down. The current installed President is a compromised career politician who has clearly been taking huge bribes from Ukrainian energy companies, China and others and has been caught. His days are numbered but more importantly, unlike Trump, he is captured and controlled and beholden to many of the same globalist cartels which have been pushing Great Reset techno-feudal ‘new world order’ agenda in cahoots with China which has used such influences to ride a wave of 21st century modernisation, mercantilism and dominating world wide manufacturing as American voluntarily abdicated from such things to the point where, for example, they only make 7% of non-pandemic mask use needs, no aspirin, no HCQ, almost no fertilizers, steel or computer chips and so forth.
The US has a constitution that does not favor surrendering sovereignty to an international order and so has to be taken out.
The question is: are the Eurasians really on board with the Davos New Man techno-fascist ‘pathocracy?’ I suspect that they have gone along for the ride the past few decades in order to get to this point namely that American is now weak enough and they are well enough aligned and economically strong to sustain pushing her over the edge into no longer being a hegemon and here is the key sticking point: also no longer able to exercise the Samson option as she falls from power and her Neocon-Zionazi elements elect to leave a parting gift consigning her enemies to living Hell. My assumption is that they have both kinetic and asymmetric answers to any such attempt, presumably military defense methods (including anti-missile and jamming) plus command-and-control obfuscation (taking down cyber networks, power grids etc.).
In any case, Ukraine is a major Punch in the Nose which the entire world is witnessing. Can Biden not only take the punch but then come back with a counter punch and reassert American dominance? Looks like not. What answer do they have to de-dollarization? None, indeed they are accelerating it (remember Biden is a captured President and the people around him all serve the same anti-republic, globalist ends).
In sum, I believe the goal is to assert the rise of the new Eurasian ‘Central Island’ civilization by first bringing India and most of the Middle East into the fold, and then – this will take more time of course – gradually persuading Europe to join in as the balance of power and wealth clearly tilts towards Central and Eastern Asia in the coming years and Europe-US falls behind even more than they already have been of late. This will be done by so weakening US prestige and economic leverage that Europe finally is able to assert their own sovereignty and break free of the Maritime Power clutches to rejoin the Central Island of Eurasia where they belong.
This almost happened under Genghis Khan but he died after his armies had conquered the Hungarians, the most effective military force at that time. Now, many centuries later, they are going to take another crack at it. That is the main goal, imo.
@Richard,
This is my belief as well. A couple of well-placed bases in the west of Ukraine – both armed to the teeth and at least one airfield for the SU-57s and nuff said. I think this would be a direct counter to the bases in Romania and Poland that Russia would like to see removed. Whether things develop from there is up to the West. But that is how I see the end game too.
Dear Saker. The times we are living in are extraordinary to say the least. The big powers are making huge and significant geo strategic moves and threats (sanctions , embargoes, military, monetary etc.). In the background there is the threat of nuclear war which the experts and the regular Joe don’t believe will happen because it’s “unimaginable”. China is more active lately but still playing fairly low key and should make a big unexpected shock value move. To wake up the europoodles to something shockingly “imaginable “, China could announce that it considers europeans too ARIAN and in need of ORIENTALISATION. We have 150 million men with no wives and are looking for “love”!! The first wave of lovers will be leaving on high speed trains ,arriving soon in Germany, Brussels Paris etc. and of course they will be backed by the Russian army. Let’s make love not war! This may sound bizarre but it’s the kind of shock and awe move europeans need to wake up their imaginations and start hanging politicians from lamp posts.
Biden says Putin cannot remain in power.
But at the rate Biden is going he will likely be a lame duck president in about six months…(U.S. November congressional elections.)
He best stop talking up war, and figure out a way to settle for some peace.
Six months? We are talking in terms of weeks right now. Russia could respond to the very real threat of regime change talk by using tactical nukes and/ or coordinating with the Chinese on an invasion of Taiwan. Six months? There may not be a world in six months.
@Cthulhu,
Not going to happen. Russia has detailed when it would use nuclear weapons. Nasty talk is not on the list.
Biden is starting to sound like Chemical Ali, the Iraqi PR person who kept making random proclamations during the America’s illegal invasion of Iraq.
That’s how far the US has fallen since 9/11. Whoever was behind 9/11, whether the real intention was to bring down America or not, Empire is in free fall, the dollar pancaking as the global currency.
You sure you’re not referring to Bagdad Bob, aka ‘Comical Ali’? Hehe
Blood now makes up well over 2 percent of total U.S. exports by value. To put that in perspective, Americans’ blood is now worth more than all exported corn or soy products that cover vast areas of the country’s heartland. The U.S. supplies fully 70 percent of the world’s plasma, mainly because most other countries have banned the practice on ethical and medical grounds. Exports increased by over 13 percent, to $28.6 billion, between 2016 and 2017, and the plasma market is projected to “grow radiantly,” according to one industry report. We are talking the blood of poor Americans. 130 million Americans sell blood. In Cleveland, 1/3 of blood sellers pay their rent with it. It gets worse, millionaires in Silicon Valley are buying teenage blood to extend their pathetic lives …

If Ukraine is winning the war according to Western media why the talk of sending NATO into Ukraine? Anyone with thinking capabilities can understand Russia is winning this war.
Now that Russia is saying that they are not really fighting where Ukraine is supposed to be winning, but are only there to stop the Ukrainian troops from going to the Donbass, it makes it necessary for Ukrainians to process that before repeating that they’re winning. One journalist from MSNBC referred to this Russian strategy and tried to make her expert guest comment about it – and he couldn’t process it live. He kept saying the same thing about Ukrainians winning and Russians losing. It’s noticeable they don’t talk about how it can be that they’re winning around a city like Kiev, supposedly because of superior courage and skill, but losing in Eastern Ukraine. Anyway, if they will keep saying that they are winning those fights the other side now says they’re not really fighting and why not, shouldn’t they ask themselves what if later Russia announces that it will engage in those fights with all its might?
Fooling the others in a war may help, but fooling themselves in a war is not…recommendable. The sensible thing for “sensible people” is to surrender if you can’t win, and surrender with no doubts if you lost against Donbass in 2014.
I fought Mike Tyson once and was giving him a thoroughly good thrashing…..then I woke up.
I was reading a couple of columns in a Ukranian newspaper. They were just like Zelensky! Same weird ideas and conclusions and demands. One said that the U.S. should get in there, because it would make Russia leave but look good enough inside Russia because it was yielding to the U.S. and not Ukraine. How weird is that? The other said that NATO was like 10 times stronger than Russia, something that NATO doesn’t say or believe.
1. Without changing the constitution how does Russia plan to kick out the 5th column?
Without nationalizing the central bank how does Russia plan to become sovereign?
Ukraine is just the rash. Russia needs to treat the cancer within?
Putin is a one man show. Russia needs to institutionalize their sovereignty.
2. Why did Russia have to wait till things became so bad in Ukraine. You say they were not ready. I dont agree. I say same issue of sovereignty. And till date it is not resolved
You may listen to videos of Yevgenii Fedorov for more
Thank you
Russian Central Bank is nationalized. Just because you disagree with its policies doesn’t mean it’s not. Its director and board of governors are all federal employees that are appointed by the State Duma (congress). If you have information to the contrary please do share it.
Does it print its own debt free money ? Is it part of the ” Rothschild ” controlled central banking system ? Has Russia truly recovered from the US domination described in the article below ?
https://yasha.substack.com/p/america-and-russia-in-the-1990s-this-096?s=r
Hard to say because many of those questions are shrouded in complex vagaries of the financial system and I’m not an expert enough on the subject to answer it fully. Of course every bank on the planet has some ties to at least a small extent to various global architectural systems like B.I.S. etc., but the question is “to what extent”, and I’m not convinced Russia’s ties as such are as to as high of an extent as western central banks — it’s a sliding scale. Secondly, you list a lot of random and disparate ideas that go beyond the scope of the very simple operating question which is “is Russia’s central bank ‘nationalized’ or not?”. The things you list don’t have as much to do with that question and are their own separate topics. The bottom line is, to the original question, the Russian Central Bank is a nationalized entity. But that doesn’t necessarily mean anything (particularly anything “good”). The Federal Reserve in the U.S. also claims to be a national/federal institution.
At the end of the day, there is very scant information online about how the Russian Central Bank functions, and what similarities it may or may not have to the Federal Reserve System in the West/U.S.
The primary reason “WHY” the ‘Federal Reserve’ in the U.S. is really a private controlled entity is because the Fed is owned by the 12 regional Feds beneath it (New York Fed being the most powerful) and THOSE regional Feds are owned by private banks, and those private banks elect the majority of the Regional Feds’ ‘board of governors/directors’ who in turn shift policy upward towards the umbrella ‘Federal Reserve’ bank. So in short, the private banks like JP Morgan etc at the bottom therefore in essence can dictate/influence the policy of the top ‘Federal Reserve’.
In Russia, I haven’t seen any evidence that the Central Bank system is structured this way. If you have evidence of it, please show me because I’d love to learn how the Russian system is structured.
Someone posted this elsewhere in thread. Here’s the eminent economic expert Sergei Glazyev’s latest interview, people on our side consider him the most shrewd voice on all the economic matters. Here’s what he says about Russia’s Central Bank and the exact question of “nationalizing” it.
https://www.business-gazeta.ru/article/544773
“The same goes for the Central Bank. Let me remind you that, according to the law on the Central Bank, all its property is federal property. Therefore, the Central Bank is a state structure, there is no doubt about it.
— And they always said that he was separated, as if on the sidelines.
— The Board of Directors of the Central Bank is appointed by the State Duma on the recommendation of the President. I have worked for many years as its representative in the National Banking Council, which oversees the activities of the Central Bank. I can say that there is no doubt that the Central Bank is the state body regulating monetary circulation, and it is also the main financial regulator in the country.
But there are nuances. The Constitution stipulates that the Central Bank conducts its policy independently, that is, it is independent of the government. But this does not mean that it is independent of the state. This is a government agency. Our judicial system is also officially independent of the government. Therefore, being an independent body, the Central Bank is nevertheless formed as a state regulatory body and must fulfill the tasks that are necessary for the development of our economy. ”
He goes on in much more detail to state that the problem is not that the Central Bank is not “nationalized” but rather that its leadership has been corrupted by western monetary thought/theory and are acting in the interests of the West in some of the decisions they’ve made particularly with the ‘free floating’ of the Ruble which benefits western speculation at the hands of investment firms.
I’m not sure I this would qualify as on topic, bu here it is.

They shot all of them in their kneecaps and/or groins in order to cripple them for life. There are worse videos out there too, ones I won’t mention.
There will be swift and terrible retribution for these war criminals. No mercy will be given.
That’s the video I referred to in a comment I made earlier.
@Nightvision If there are worse videos out there I don’t think I have the intestinal fortitude to watch.
I have not seen such cruelty as demonstrated by these Neo Nazis(?) or Ukrainian army crackpots(?) before – and I thought that Gaddafi’s assassination was barbaric.
I hope these Ukrainian scom
Russia should broadcast these videos all over the Ukraine so that the Ukrainians know what their heroes are doing.
I haven’t found any acknowledgement by Russia or Russian media of the attack on the fuel depot outside of Lyiv Saturday afternoon. Media treated it as a very big thing, seemed sorta interesting that Russia hasn’t said anything about it. The Ministry of Defense seemed not to even include it in their briefing.

Eye for an eye diplomacy
Question for anyone. Many of the EU states say they won’t abide by the Russian demand for Rubles for gas/oil. They say the contract they’ve signed stipulates currency terms. So how is Russia going to respond?
Contracts are ‘null and void’ once you violate the sacred law of ‘trust’. EU and US have already broken legally binding agreements with the sanctions and confiscating of reserve’s of a G20 nation.
Bottom line: The EU can say whatever they want in ‘public’ but it will be resolved on Russia’s terms, not vis-a-versa.
TheOne,
Yep – and what will Brussels do when all of its member states are overthrowing their governments? I would suggest vacating to DC where their masters live and work….
But seriously, EU nations will one by one take the knee and purchase rubles to buy gas. Guaranteed. Just a brilliant chess move by Russia.
Tap off, No gas. Industries halted, people will come out on streets. The people of EU will overthrow their own governments. End result -Anarchy
Yes but because of the sanctions they are the first who violated the currency terms so they have noting to said about…
I think Russia is seeking regime-change in European governments. If that is the case then what do you think it will do?
Take it or leave it.
You confiscate/freeze/steal $300 billion of our assets and are now dictating to us what currency we should sell our own natural resources in !?!?
Who the effing hell do you think you are?…..It’s either rubles or go away, await further instructions from your landlord, Uncle Sambo, or better still go and play with some traffic.
Russia saying it has to be Rubles for gas/oil, implies demanding an amended contract. Even though the current contract stipulates other currency terms, these contracts usually have force-majeure clauses, and Russia is under new and heavier economic sanctions that affect its monetary transactions. Pres. Biden said today that the Ruble has become “rubble.” Since the actual buyers are attacking the Ruble too (chuckle), it looks fair to demand that they pay with Rubles for their Russian gas/oil.
Someone else gave the legal explanation, which is based on established case law. Because the sanctions make dollars and euros worthless to Russia, any contracts for gas delivery is a contract of attachment. These are contracts where one party has overwhelming power to dictate the terms of the contract. The site I read said courts are free to denounce such contracts, depending on how unequal the two parties are.
Simple! Russia won’t sell them nothing. They can by the buy Lng from America as Biden said, which would still not be enough, blackouts & freezing 4 days a week, and mass production stoppages. The EU crippled. Do not forget the food shortages that is already present.
Russia will sell to India and the rest to Asia and everyone else. What else? NATO getting involved. Is that why they have been scrambling around looking for so many others to join their crusade, to no avail? That they have banned all alternate news, say that Russia is losing, resorting to ignorant name calling? You might see that as strength, but I see desperation.
Years previous in Syria when NATO could not out Assad because of Russia’s help what did Obama say: ” Russia must not cross a red line”, and what did Russia do. They walked right through it.
Hypotheticals should include some facts; if not it is just wishful thinking.
Very simple, not liking payment terms, get gas elsewhere. Dosvidaniya.
From Russia with Love! – machine translated via Colonelcassad
Foreign Ministry: refusal to pay for gas in rubles will lead to a global crisis of non-payments and a series of bankruptcies at the global level
The unwillingness of foreign partners to pay for Russian gas in rubles “may lead to a chain reaction that will spread to other types of obligations. Among the consequences are the blocking of transactions, the freezing of collateral, assets, and the closure of credit lines. Lenders will be forced to write off loans to Russian residents as non-refundable. As a result, a non-payment crisis will be added to the energy, logistics, and food, accompanied by a series of bankruptcies. It can lead to drastic changes in international finance and provoke a market collapse,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
If the West abandons Russian oil and gas, this will entail enormous consequences for the European and world economies.
“Europe is very dependent on Russian gas and oil. Even if it moves to total savings, finds suppliers in other regions of the world and switches to renewable energy sources, in the “ideal version” it will be able to replace only 80% of energy resources, the Foreign Ministry noted, stressing that in fact even less. Whether to abandon it or not is their business, but, of course, it will have enormous consequences for the entire European economy, and as a result, for the world economy, because prices will go up not only in Europe, but all over the world.”
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia separately emphasized that the Russian side has practically not yet begun to introduce retaliatory measures against Western sanctions:
“In addition to the well-known Russian contribution to the supply of energy, food, domestic enterprises actively participate in numerous production chains in which it is extremely difficult, and sometimes even impossible to replace us, and this is despite the fact that Russia has not yet practically begun to use retaliatory measures”
Earlier, the GROWTH CRYSTAL cited the opinion of leading American economist Paul Craig Roberts, who believes that “in the game with sanctions, the Russians hold all the cards”
By freezing Russia’s foreign currency holdings and cutting Russian banks from SWIFT the west has made its own currencies worthless to Russia. That invalidates all (!!!) contracts between Russia (and Russian enterprises) and the west that stipulate payment in western currencies, particularly the dollar and euro.
Any halfway decent lawyer can tell you that it is completely irrelevant what the contract states, if the underlying general laws and agreements on which the contracts are based are broken.
A landlord can’t put conditions in your rent agreement that break the law and then claim you have to abide by them because it’s in the contract you signed. Signed contracts do not override the laws behind them.
The European Union broke those laws and agreements, and now their contracts are worthless.
You should also keep in mind that when EU leaders make statements about enforcing the contracts, they are NOT addressing Russia. Those statements are meant for domestic consumption, to soothe the masses of sheep in the EU that are starting to feel uncomfortable about what they see happening.
We have a strong tendency to see these ‘international’ events as some kind of indirect dialogue between the west and Russia. it’s not. The west doesn’t talk to Russia, not even indirectly. It’s part of the west’s overwhelming arrogance towards Russia. They don’t give a **** what Russia thinks and unless they are addressed directly should shut the **** up.
It’s the same with Biden’s latest remarks. Those are all for domestic consumption. I’m sure it never even crossed his (dementing) mind to consider what Russia might think of them. The entire west still has this massive superiority complex that convinces them that they can do and say what they want, without taking anyone else’s opinion into consideration.
Those others don’t matter to them, because the west believes themselves to be too far above them for their opinions to have any importance to them. Also, they believe that when it comes down to it, those other countries (including Russia and China) can’t afford to ignore the west, and in the end will always have to come crawling back, so it doesn’t really matter what the west says or does in the meantime.
They are living in the past, and it might take a while for them catch up. It will probably take a whole new generation of politicians for that to take place.
A great article about cleaning the Russian 5th column. I think there is a need for a Herculean figure for that job:

Thanks uncle!
Chubais is one of those bottomless enigmas about Russia that leaves a sour taste and a stink in its wake. How come such a traitor who was found out many years ago and managed to, not only avoid being called to answer for his misdeeds, but to thrive within the Russian state machinery and finally allowed to retire to foreign pastures to enjoy the grift stolen from the Russian people!
Mind boggling skulduggery. Lost for words…
Keep your enemy at hand.
Ask the furthest tyrant for help.
Never interrupt your enemy while he does some mistake.
He was an early mentor of Putin, and it seems Putin protected him to the extent of allowing him to hold a relatively minor position.
Uncle Bob and everybody, please do not link to that site. They are sanctioned by the US State department and this blog may get in trouble for linking there. It is sad, but it is true. They know we don’t link, and no friendships have been lost.
For those that did not get the message, this goes for SouthFront as well.
It is not our decision here at the blog, it is US State Department sick shenanigans.
We’ll have to look into who died and left the State Dept to determine who exactly is in trouble here.
@Amarynth,
It might prove constructive for the moderators to have a list of sanctioned sites and remove the link if one appears. That way, if the policy is in place and one does slip through it is a mistake and therefore defensible, especially if there are examples where the link was removed.
Cheers!
Thanks JackJC. We’re busy, things slip by. Sometimes it is wack a troll and the mole gets away :-)
People don’t mean it bad.
The traitor Alek Navalny was recently sentenced to an additional 9 years in prison for his thievery and insulting the judge at his original trial.. He has yet to be tried on the official offence of state treason..
According to the photo on Colonel Cassad’s Live Journal article, He will never live to see anywhere near the existing 11 year sentence, as he already appears to be a haunted skeleton after only one year..
There’s some rumors circulating the web for the past couple of days, about a Russian Krasukha (electronic warfare system) component supposedly captured by the Ukies, does anyone know if this is true or BS? Somehow i find it hard to believe that the Russians would leave such a vital system intact and not destroying it, if there was a need to relocate to a new position hastily?
All I can say is if it was true, then posting it on the internet is the stupidest thing possible. According to 4chan the shopping mall in Kiev hit with a Kinzhal was targeted because somebody made a tic tok video with the military hardware under the mall in view. This may or may not be true but the GRU isn’t a bunch of idiots and definitely have people tasked with watching moron’s from the west (I’m western by blood and location and would be the first to call these people retards) posting things online which could be comprising to Ukie Intel. If indeed Russian codes were comprised and it was posted to the internet the codes may as well not have been compromised because the Russian military has likely already sized up the potential threat and changed codes or sized up how to change codes and procedures if necessary.
Everything posted to the internet by westfags may as well be emailed to the Russian ministry of defense. Narcissistic westfags are retards, Russia has it’s shit together and practices disciplined opsec, and we know this because Russian soldiers are not allowed to carry cellphones, at least according to Martyanov from Smoothiex12.
I have never heard of it.
Even if its true, it would be 100% encrypted, it would useless for the enemy. But certainly makes a great PR bullshit to feed the masses.
Most people don’t know this, (feel free to correct me) partly the reason why Ukraine gave up there nuclear weapons from the Soviet era was because they did not know how to break the PAL codes that were installed on the missile launchers that would make them inoperable if it was tampered with.
This was debunked at other sites. The captured container does not match the visual profile of the Russian system.
Whether the Ukrainians actually grabbed a piece of Russian kit (and when), or simply generated disinformation to support their mantra that they’re winning is open to speculation.
it’s b.s. I answered it above to someone else. That wasn’t a Krasukha module, that was a rusty shipping container with some pipes sticking out that could have been used for a variety of other things but that’s not how Krasukha modules look.
China/Israel as a ‘tag team’? Though Ukraine is legitimately the main course here, there are some mentions of China and I wanted to put this hypothetical out before the Saker audience: Across hundreds of observations and articles, we can trace the US Empyre being taken down mainly by internal decisions/actions that seem to have been in place pre-WW2 (shall we say 1913?) – to move the US from an industrial powerhouse to an impotent socialist dependency to prevent it from upending the zionist central banking cartel. What seems to have emerged is this:
1) China and Israel seem to have agreed on a very long-term arrangement wherein they would cooperate in taking America from a USA to a USSA; China would become hegemon, and Israel favored protege with a free hand in the ME (Eretz Israel, etc.).
2) The zionist cult and its useful idiots have clearly engineered a fast-moving broad-spectrum cultural collapse in the USA and the EUSSR – the West, collectively – (against which pushback is only now beginning).
3) China seems to have wielded a trade and technology end of the project – having duped Wall Street out of American IP/tech/manufacturing – by encouraging/allowing US oligarchs to believe they would always be able to control China.
While China and Russia are poised against the current Empyre, I think Russia quite likely understands they will be the next meal if they falter in Ukraine.
If China is in cahoots with Israel that also means its in cahoots with team Rothschild. Also, the US wasn’t duped into anything its willing participating in its own ordered suicide.
D’Commissar: 1) I would say that by the time China accedes to hegemon – a few minutes after the U$D is out of re$erve – China will have effectively neutralized the BIS’ western banksters’ cartel, and 2) Trump’s election should have told us that there are at least two faction in the US oligarchy: a group that wants to pull back from the brink of a USSA and restore law, money, and industry, and proceed as a semi-sane member of the planet, and the currently rampant neo-cons & fellow travellers in Mordor who believe the USA must, can, and will restore its planetary hegemony – at any price (mostly to be paid by the peasantry). I believe the ‘duping’ was achieved by globalists on Wall Street convincing CEOs of ~normal corporations that they could become insanely wealthy and powerful if they just changed their paradigm – and forgot about doing real things – and let poor Asians do all the manual labor, and that these CEOs could simply sit back and get rich.
“In the Kharkiv region, the Russian remote mining system “Agriculture” was filmed in action
After the installation of mines, the system fixes their location on an electronic map
The newest complex of the Russian army allows you to mine the territories occupied by the enemy. The principle of operation is similar to the Grad MLRS , but instead of the warhead, the Zemledeliya missiles contain mines, Readovka reports.
After the installation of mines, the system records their location on an electronic map. Also, mines are deactivated over time, which avoids the death of civilians after the end of hostilities. ”
https://m.readovka.news/news/92040
Oh so this is what this “agriculture” thing is? I was browsing a bunch of telegram channels when I saw it. I thought it was just another missile launcher.
I seriously believe that Biden is trolling Russia or the EoL have short memories… During Biden’s speech in Poland…
– Russia is not our enemy
– NATO is a purely defensive alliance
WTH?
From the beginning of the white house president, I looked him in his eyes, and there I saw pure evil. From the bible I can read from the righteous people. when they where crying out to God for help and why it took so long time before God, to come to help them. “Take away the evil from our suffering”.I think I would not be in Bidens clothes when it comes to God’s judgement. He is really a war criminal this evil man from satan. I don’t see it in an other way. And that goes for Hunter too. Through the bible God wakes up spirits in different leaders to fight unrighteousness and I can see it so clearly in the case of Putin. He is the tool of God : that is for sure.
What is the influence of Arestovych? The video doing the rounds of him a couple of years ago saying it was either assimilation by Russia or war, and Ukraine chose war. Puts a different slant on being pushed by the US or the far right.
You have to understand the context. He doesn’t mean “assimilation” as in a vacuum, i.e. if Ukraine just continued to peacefully exist as it did PRE-2014 then Russia would have “assimilated it”. No no, he means assimilated DUE to the events of 2014. But those events were precipitated BY the U.S./CIA/Ukie Nazis etc. So OF COURSE once Ukraine was completely handed over to a Nazi dictatorship controlled by the CIA it was destined to be ‘assimilated’ by Russia after the same entity waged massive war on Donbass. So what he’s saying is, in our current existence, in the path we’ve chosen and decided (which is the path of war against Donbass and path of joining the CIA/Nazi) Russia will have no choice but to assimilate us or destroy us in war. And logically that is obviously true because Russia could not have such a festering cancer on its border.
But my point being — if Ukraine had NOT allowed the CIA and Nuland deepstate overthrow the democratically elected president in 2014, then everything would have been fine and Ukraine would not have faced those 2 options of “war or assimilation”, those options ONLY came about after the “Euromaidan” that turned Ukraine into a weapon against Russia at the hands of the U.S. elite.
Thanks Nightvision,
it is a different way of looking at it. Was taking that ‘assimilation’ as being a ‘sphere of influence’ in a more direct way or at least the fear of such from the Ukrainians. That said it is obviously then a direct choice from Ukraine that this war was going to happen one way or another.
Does Arestovych have a lot of power?
You see the problem is a sort of chicken or the egg thing. For one side to justify their actions, they have to propagandistically claim that the action was needed BECAUSE the OTHER side was going to take the action first, and thus we had to counter act their action. So in this case, Arestovych is likely insinuating (as is the typical Ukie belief) that all the events of 2014 basically had to come about in order to protect Ukraine from an “eventual” Russian “assimilation” (even if it means ‘cultural one’ as you said). And so this now gives them convenient justification to have carried out the coup / ‘euromaidan’. But in reality of course it is the opposite, the U.S. has always had a stated goal as a major CIA objective, which they’ve written about numerous times, that Ukraine must be used as a point of weakness to target Russia in the post soviet space. And so in reality they fired the first shot so to speak and Russia is the one simply reacting and trying to turn the tide from the fact that Ukraine was going to be ‘assimilated’ by the CIA as an anti-Russia satellite. In fact the truth is it goes so far back even before the fall of USSR.
We have evidence of this: here Soros states himself, on video, that he funded independence movements in Ukraine long before the fall of the USSR, I believe there’s a longer video clip where he says 2 years before so presumably 1989-1990 and brags how his actions have great influence on what is happening with Ukraine now https://twitter.com/HiDearzaki/status/1507711369843462150
Further, Soros has openly stated in the past that he helped destroy the soviet empire and in its place created the “Soros Empire” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh9rjVyy4xY
Not a bad idea?
Greece now is completely aligned with the Empire of Lies, and her territory used at will by the USA against Russia.
She and Cyprus opposed nothing to the EU escalating antirussia hysteria.
The eastern part of Cyprus is under Turkish control by tens of years.
Russia and Turkey should proceed with a reciprocal agreement: Russia officially recognises the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and Turkey the will of the people of Crimea in the referendum of March 2014.
I could be a win-win move.
Interesting video of Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imram Khan’s crushing reply to a joint letter by EU ambassadors demanding he condemn Russia over Ukraine – https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/imran-khan-slams-west-s-pressure-over-ukraine-asks-did-you-write-to-india-101646610815155.html
That Prime Minister of Pakistan, a puppet selected by his own army, was forced to resign; it’s been months in the making and very public. It has nothing to do with the Ukraine conflict: he got the idea that he has the power to choose the intelligence chief and not the head of their military: bad move.
Imran Khan is pathetic servant of the UK establishment, don’t take anything he says seriously, he’s Justin Trudeau of Pakistan (good looks no brain) and a laughing stock even in his own country.
AP News is reporting “Live updates: Russian forces move toward separatist regions.” I think they finally understand Russia’s strategy. Surrounding/encircling Ukrainian forces fighting in the separatist regions in the eastern part of the country has been the goal all along. At least that’s my understanding from what is reported here. The end of the Ukrainian military in the east may be near. After they are destroyed, what next. Where will the focus be next? I’ve been impatient for this.
I live in the U.S. and, as bad as government is, it is our mainstream that has really let down the people of the U.S. They (the people) are in for a rude awakening.
Don’t trust western media. They are even talkinga about mythical ukrop counteroffensives and russians fleeing to Vladivostok in fear.
What I have seen from the usual trusted sources, is that a bunch on new tropps and vehicles are being sent to Donbass. There is zero reason to move the troops in the western parts of Ukraine to support Donbass. It would be utterly stupid to lower the pression on the ukrops around Kiev and other important centers.
I live in the U.S. and, as bad as government is, it is our mainstream [media] that has really let down the people of the U.S.

Azerbaijan launches airstrikes in Nagorno-Karabakh as tensions flare
https://www.rt.com/russia/552770-azerbaijan-nagorno-karabakh-tensions/
This is israel taking advantage of the ukraine op to pursue its own interest. They have a major stake in both governments and playing them off against each other aids israeloamerican hybrid war strategy.
Obviously the turkroach Erdogan gave order to his minion Aliyev to create more problems. But it can be a blessing in disguise. Russia ( in they are ready to severely damage their relationship with Azerbaijan, but at this point who needs treacherous friends like Aliyev ) can help Armenia.
It would be a big blow to the western narrative about “Russia bad”. A Russia helping the “eternal victim” Armenia would be seen favorably around the world. Also armenians are very good at propaganda, especially at posing like victims.
What kind of help? The 16.000 middle eastern mercenaries could be a good start. A bunch of russian troops and, more importantly, high tech weapons. Just shoot down those f****** Bayraktars.
And another important point is to put the industrial complex in war mode. They need to mass produce weapons. I have read that they are producing around 5 T-14 Armata each day. They need to prop up the production.
The point is that the anglozionists have choosen to go to war. There is no more space for a “limited war” in Ukraine. It is already the third world war.
And another thing would be to mirror what the americans are doing in Ukraine, by giving away the positions of russian officials to Ukraine. And bang bang. Understood? No more gloves on. This is WWIII.
Why do the cities in Ukraine still have Bandera TV and Bandera controlled data network and mobile ?
Seems someone in Moscow forgot to do a couple of things with those issues
dima, this has been answered a number of times, so, you start with a question. Let me ask you one in return.
Why don’t you read first before you say Moscow Forgot?
What people report is once a city, village, area is free from the various types of Banderites, they get Russian TV. Can you possibly think of why the Banderite TV is allowed to continue? Possibly?
Saw graphic content of captured Russian soldiers. Really makes me mad seeing Russian prisoners of war being tortured and shot.
Don’t want to link the videos but Gonzo Lira’s telegram channel shows just how cruel these Ukrainian scum are. Cannot determine if they are Nazis or just Ukrainian servicemen.
There are some very disturbing videos on Telegram of captured Russian soldiers being tortured and shot by Nazis. I won’t post the link. But you’ll find them. On Gonzalo Liras as channel
I saw that too. It is probably from Kharkiv. I am extremely worried about Gonzalo. I hope every single one of these monsters will eat the bullet. Sickening. But I am not suprised. Banderovites are known for being cruel animals. They chopped with axes civilians. Women, babies… Didn’t matter for them.
From an interview with Colonel of the Russian Guard Alexander Denisov
“I spent many years in wars, but our enemy in this special military operation surprised and amazed me.
– How?
— Ruthlessness to its own population.
I was in Nagorno-Karabakh, Sumgayit, Yerevan and Spitak, participated in the reconciliation of the Ossetian-Ingush conflict and the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus.
No one – neither the Azerbaijanis with the Armenians, nor the Chechens – no one has ever put their people under fire.Here, non-humans are fighting against us, who specially arrange combat positions in the residential sector and themselves fire rocket-propelled “Grads” at high-rise buildings.
This is some kind of quintessence of fascism, inhumanity, brought to the absolute.
The truth about this atrocity must be conveyed to every Ukrainian.”
Military review
This struck me as potentially important: https://www.rt.com/russia/552760-japanese-pm-makes-russian-nukes/
“Japanese PM Fumio Kishida has claimed the risk of Russia using nuclear weapons is “increasingly real.” He delivered his remarks on Saturday, in Hiroshima. during a visit from American delegation.”
Basically, after talking to the Americans, the Japanese guy is suddenly worried that Russians will use nukes. This increases the Bayesian probability for the expected false flag being nuclear.
It is laughable. Japanese are using Hiroshima to make Russians and especially Putin look like mad dogs, who at any moment can start droping nukes. Just a smear campaing. Even tough they are literally standing in the place, which was bombed with nukes by Americans just as a show of force and to scare Stalin, killing hundred of thousands of civilians in the process. I hope Russia will squezee them with rubles for commodities policy realy good.
Oh, the Japanese are completely taken aback. It is still in the collective consciousness that Nukes and Japan go hand in hand, so this is clever propaganda. But what really happened, is this:
Japan is feeling the heat, as Russia calmly announced that they will not further negotiate with Japan on a peace treaty regarding the Kurils. This is serious if we use our calculus in terms of the possibility of a larger war.
@amarynth,
Exactly. The USA drops nukes on Japan (only country to use nukes on another country – and on a civilian population to boot!), yet Russia is its current focus? Funny.
Now about Japan – it is clear to me that Japan is duplicitous. It wants to seem accommodating to Russia while pressuring India to terminate Russian transactions and raising the specter of Russia nukes.
To me, this is all about the coming confrontation with China over Taiwan. Japan, Australia (I believe) and the USA have all said they would view a seizure of Taiwan as a potential act of war. Yet I believe that all three countries recognize formally that Taiwan is part of China. So how does this work exactly?
If Ukraine is targeted at the EU’s weak underbelly (their economies), China’s move on Taiwan would be an explicit statement to the USA that its time of East Pacific domination is over. As has been stated above, China’s move to establish a military presence on the Solomon Islands is a dagger to the heart of the USA Pacific empire. Drawing a southeast line running from China to Guam and then on to the Solomons shows Guam can be targeted from two directions now. And then Hawaii as well. Just a brilliant flanking move! It also splits Australia from the USA, so it’s a double wammy. China is extremely patient – like Russia. Russia was forced into a Ukrainian intervention by NATO. It had no choice but to move forward now. To wait would mean Russia having at some future date fighting all of NATO. Not a good choice. So depriving NATO now of a forward weapons stage along Russia’s borders had to happen – else nuclear war. Once China completes this flanking installation on the Solomons and continues to add to its fleet, Taiwan will be given the option to cede its territory or face war. Russia should be in a position with its Pacific fleet to effectively help in cutting Japan off and of course China could manage Australia. The USA will have absolutely no chance on its own of keeping Taiwan out of China’s hands should she choose to move.
Taiwan will be the USA backbreaker. From Taiwan, China will be able to project military strength throughout the Pacific Ocean up to and including USA shoreline.
The USA has only one choice – to negotiate for peace. But the idiots that run the country believe they can have it all. Not sure why, but their greed has no limits. Every USA citizen will suffer from the corporate billionaire, War Inc, Deep State leadership that runs the country.
Thank you for this insight, Amarynth. Kishida, like most of Japan’s prime ministers was chosen for not rocking the boat and for supporting the Empire’s objectives, and he seems to be particularly timid. With the economic impact Japan is about to face, I do not anticipate him lasting very long in that position, and the next selection will depend on the general perception among the elites of Japan on how the Empire is likely to react. With US bases all over Japan plus an ingrained fear of China among the population, and gratitude for more than 75 years of peace, I expect their loyalty to the US to be quite long lasting. OTOH, there are a lot of people among the elite who want Japan to stand on its own feet again.
Horrendous vids on Gonzalo telegram of Russian POW being shot as they are pulled out of a van. Wounded Russians lying bleeding on the ground.

Here is the english translation of this french video.
Can you imagine how difficult this must be for him?
Are you even aware of the gravity of the decision he had to make?
Certainly this decision will bring a lot of pain to many families on both sides!
But its success will prevent a much greater pain.
He is fully aware of this!
This is the main reason why he validated this military operation.
He is unjustly blamed for starting a war,
for the deaths of civilians and soldiers.
But you have to understand,
he is not the one who started this war
which did not start a month ago
but it is he who decided to put an end to it
to stop this crazy spiral of deaths
and to settle once and for all the question of the status of Ukraine.
This is the supreme injustice
apart from him, there is only a handful of high officials and service managers
who are really aware of the danger they have protected the world from
thanks to this special operation.
On many occasions he has publicly warned against it
he has spoken about it in his speeches to the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and even Germany.
But are the people able to understand and be penetrated by these words
to hear the words of a single man while their surroundings, the media and social networks are flooded with images of spectacular and convincing wars.
It is so much easier to blame him, a flesh and blood human being, for all the evils without trying to get to the bottom of it.
None of us realizes the misfortune that has taken him away from Russia.
Because this misfortune will never come true!
The days of a future past, as Western scriptwriters would say.
Some will always blame him for the negative consequences of this lesser evil
without thinking or on purpose denying him the right to resort to extreme necessity.
He knows it, it is his burden, his responsibility, he has assumed them for the future greatness of Russia.

Finally. I can’t belive this. MSM in Poland, very popular television channel Polsat watched by milions of Poles have reported crimes of Nazis from Azov in Mariupol. They are talking now about destruction on purpose of civilian infrastracture by Azov troops and there is an Ukrainian lady, who admitts that she learned the hard way that true enemies are Ukrainians from Azov Battalion. Wow
https://mobile.twitter.com/PanasiukPiotr/status/1507807336043356161
I don’t watch Polish MSM media for some time now, but I can’t belive that after making for 8 long years Ukrainians as literal saints now they finally reported how big scum they are.
I watched the whole news segment from that day. They are still lying. No change after 8 years.
There are like 10 crucial seconds missing from this clip. All that victims’ suffering is shown as “Kremlin propaganda” or “Russia did it”. Also they are lying about Ukrainian refugees forcefuly taken to Russia. Polsat is just yet another propaganda for Western warmongers. They have been lying about Iraq, Libia, Syria and Iran. Now they are just lying about Russia. Fell free to remove above mentioned comment.
This is being widely reported now.
https://twitter.com/PanasiukPiotr/status/1507807336043356161
Polish television @PolsatNewsPL
broke the silence and reported the terrible crimes of the Azov Nazi regiment in Mariupol and the planned extermination of the Russians living there
And this is very popular evening news. It is watched by more than 2 milions of Poles every evening and its popularity steadily grows.
It doesn’t matter how deeply in the mud the truth gets buried, it can always be dug up and will shine as brilliantly as the day it was buried.
I am thinking that there are some governments who are figuring out how close they are to really pissed off Russians and how far they are from NATO support. In that case they will try to tone down the heat. That and the fact that a lot of Ukrainian …. right wing …. lads entered Poland and are behaving like …. well, conquering Nazi’s makes it difficult to hide. Lots of videos of that behaviour if you look.
I have watched whole video. In first, which was not shown in this clip, part they have smeared Russians and journalist says it is all “russian propoganda”. There is no breakthrough here. They were lying for 8 years and whitewashing banderovites and they are still doing it. Polsat is a scummy tv own by oligarch Solorz-Zak, who had connections with communist’s secret service.
Seems that an Azov leader has been caught in recent hours. https://youtu.be/-x56G_JzuuI
greek journalist short video report. I guess that it is the case, the guy resemble quite a bit to one I have already see figuring in some Azov video propaganda during the past years. Confirmation needed…and where? Sumy, Kharkov, Mariupol?
That is video from many years ago, Givi and Motorola team caught that guy.
It is a mistake to think of the US, NATO, UK, as singular discrete entities. They are more like a loose affiliation of vested interests operating under a flag of convince. Think of them like a fleet of pirate ships, with no moral red lines and no shame, as their media magicians can turn any situation into a win. It is also a mistake to think that they have any singular monolithic aims either, any plunder will do. These forces have been sowing unrest against the EU in Poland for a while now, using right wing issues like immigration and woke politics, like in the UK, to split Poland from the EU. NATO is primarily a protection racket, give us 2% or someone will break your windows and is not interested in a serious fight, it only beats up the little guy. Many parts of Poland are now secret and no media allowed so it if obvious a serious build up of forces and material is taking place. I suspect that Poland will leave the EU and NATO citing outrage as the reason. The US will promise to back them financially and military and they will enter Ukraine under their own flag. They will take the West half of Ukraine; the Russians have repeatedly said they have no real interest in it anyway. This new expanded Poland will be granted special status by the EU and then can then buy dirty gas from Russia and sell clean gas to Europe. The US grouping has already secured its victory by tying EU to overpriced gas and grain that they will profit greatly from. The aims of the pirates is profit first.
Wonder how your calculation works, when nobody can use $ and € in trades?
The formerly rich USA will not have the means to support anybody. That’s the mistake in thinking, made by many and it’s not only about money,also about resources.
The US doesn’t have the amount of gas and oil and if they had, there’s not a fleet of gas-tankers big enough to transport the needed capacity. On top, there are not enough terminals at hand.
Oh, accidents on high sea happen too. One or too tankers, disappearing into the deep sea,once in a while, wouldn’t help the brave support from our unselfish USA either.
The US factions don’t care if Europe starves or freezes, they have enough food and fuel for themselves and their massively effective media can spin any story into victory. In fact, it suits them well to keep Germany down as an economic power.
Don’t think that changing the pirate captain makes any difference either, it’s only a show job. Europe is the patsy in this scenario, they will go cold and hungry but will think they are great. Do not underestimate the effect of the media, people in Europe believe what they see on TV and will blame Putin for their own leaders failures. The pirates will carve up Ukraine and move on to other enterprise. Expect old trouble between Pakistan, India and China to be stirred up. Expect Serbia to be punished for it’s support of Russia.
You might have got me wrong,cause we’re on the same line concerning Europe.
My thinking is, you might be to optimistic in favor of the US. My take is, they won’t be able to keep on traveling the world, opressing other countries, because the worthless $ will not by lobbyists anymore, nor the maintanance of the war machine. There may not be much enterprise left for the pirates outside their cove.
Venezuela perhaps? They have lots of the good stuff. Ships ahoy!
Anyone want to speculate that Biden will soon be taken out in a Watergate-type operation?
I had that idea when the NYTimes finally admitted that Hunter’s laptop was a real thing made of atoms, metal, and plastic with plenty of evidence of corruption and lewdness on it. And I think the Pentagon is freaked that they might be faced with a real war against Russia.
It’s so sad that our American presidents, going back decades, can be characterized by such a broad range of personality disorders and have been such a plague upon our planet.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet: the special operation in Ukraine has reached open software. A developer has modified his “open software” so it erases the pc where it is installed, if the pc is in Russia or Byelorussia.

In case one thinks this is limited to a single deluded person: the problem is deeper. CERN is a European centre for nuclear research. At CERN have machines that make atoms go round in circles, very fast, and then bump into each other to see what happens. It is a place for physicists to do research into the origin of matter.
CERN has decided to stop collaboration with Russian physicists, and increase cooperation with Ukrainian physicists. This is big news. Until now, it was sufficient for a physicist if your theory was a correct description of reality. The physicist did not matter. Now, you also need the correct nationality.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cern-suspends-collaborations-with-russia/
This is bad news. In the past, these were parts of society where there was little discrimination. All that counted was that you were good with computers, mathemathics, or physics. Now the trust is gone.
So let the truth begin.
Pfffffft. Like Russian physicists need schooling from Ukrainian or European physicists.
DisCERNable topic.
And this is very idiotic. There is an ongoing fight in opensource circles about what to do. Some say that banning this or that because of some military action is totally against the spirit of opensource software. Obviously there are the hardliner ( brainwashed by the MSM ) that want “punitive measures”. We should send them to Ukraine to fight for the Azov battalion.
However idiotic behaviours like modifying software to attack computers ( it is a crime in a lot of countries ) will only polarize the vast russian hacking underground. And we all now what the russian hackers ( the real ones, not the virtual ones “electing” Trump ) are able to do. I have had first hand encounters with them ( I am on the other side of fence ) and I am truly afraid of waking up such behemoth. And it could spur a wave anger in the chinese hacking community too!!
Having to deal with the “normal” hacking background noise is already nerve wracking, but having to defend against a massive wave of highly motivated hackers would be a nightmare.
When you have a Nazi state on your border, with bio-labs and missiles , that is openly hostile to Russia and its people then particles going in a big circle is not going to be high on the list of concerns. No matter what speed they bump into each other!
People are posting about the atrocities and war crimes Ukronazis are committing on Russian prisoners. It is good to be aware of them, it is not good to reproduce them and dwell in them. That’s the true face of evil, the work of the shaytan, a déjà vu of what the SS and the nazi German thugs used to do to Russian prisoners, soldiers and partisans, in WWII. That’s what Russia aimed to stop from becoming the new normal across Russia by taking the battle to the nazis shithole. The sacrifice of these young Russian soldiers is the price Russia is paying for denazifying 404 to start with, the battle, however, is a lot larger, as the Saker warned, the entire planet needs to be denazified.
Long live the Russian/Chechen/LDNR heroes of the new battle against nazi-fascism!
May Allah welcome them as martyrs in The Garden!
Lone Wolf
just was on SouthFront and they have atrocity videos of the Ukrainian soldiers shooting captured Russian soldiers in the kneecaps and other places……..it is truly disgusting an that’s from someone who spent a few tours in Vietnam…………..animals
The main reason the empire of lies will always double down is that they know that both the Russians and the Chinese have tons of information concerning many deep state individuals dirty businesses, including murder, drug trafficking, organ trafficking, bribery, child prostitution and a lot more. Both the Russians and the Chinese most likely know who is behind the anonimous ownership of Black Rock, Vanguard and the other opaque investment funds, including the shadowy trusts operating from the empire archipelago of tax havens. They could also spread all they know about 9-11, the Kennedy assassination and so on. The slightest possibility of this information being released to the world puts the core commanders of the empire on the verge of hysteria, forcing them to literaly flood the world with slander, all kinds of shit information, all-out sanctions, escalation, ever growing threats and mass panic. Controlling Hollywood, Mass Media and virtually all the digital animation production, they have legions of script writers able to come up with hundreds of different narratives in a day. Finally, the gigantic spectacle monster the empire has created keeps the people in a fantasy world of echoes they are unable to escape from or understand. Strangely enough, the Russians and the Chinese don’t release the information they have as if they still believe in a future arrangement. If they persist in this weakness they will be buried and the evil hydra would have won forever.
Maybe it’s time for another non-ultimatum concerning false flags. Actually those are outdated by having been used way too much, so outside the NATO-bubble everybody will know the real culprits.
The non-ultimatum should read like this:
In case of stupid activity with chemical or biological material, a nearby NATO-base will be gone (preferably in Poland or the Baltics. If some nuclear shit happens, that’s directly on the tab of the exceptionals, which means, a base close to home iis gone, let’s say Diego Garcia or even better for prime-time viewers, the Pacific Fleet’s port of San Diego.
So, so called “President” Biden, make sure, your lunatics in Banderastan start thinking for once.
Hi Nightvision
I’ve just been through this whole thread and not going to do it again lol.
So for context only, somewhere it was discussed that Scott Ritter says that Zelenski will surrender. You mentioned that you are not in agreement with that statement, and that is all fine. Let’s forget Scott Ritter for a moment here and just reason this through.
Zelenski is going to have to sue for peace, surrender or in one way or another call a halt to this war. Russia will walk over the whole of the Ukraine if there is not a diplomatic process taking over the fighting.
It is not a secret that the US/NATO has a wet dream to turn this into a forever war (Afghanistan and others). Zelenski is the puppet that speaks NATO/US talks, and repeats everywhere what he is told to say – of course the more confusing the better – that is part of the strategy – gotta give the msm something to talk about and fawn over.
But there has to be an end to this. I speculate 3 weeks or so after the Anacondas around the various areas have squeezed and squeezed the life out of the Banderites. Its not long now but I’m talking intuitively here and with null, zero, zippo fact. (And I’m usually the one that howls about facts :-)
But Russia did promise to *end* the war.
See my problem/fear is the following: it is physically impossible in the modern day and age to “take/capture” a largish city without pretty much demolishing and leveling that city to the ground. We’ve seen now what Mariupol has become, even though most of the damage is from the enemy side, the fact remains that the city gets reduced to rubble. I personally find it very hard to see a circumstance where Russia and Putin (who is greatly averse to civilian casualties) would ever make an order to fully storm Kiev to capture it in order to subdue the government. I think Russia is banking on the obvious tactic of continuing surrounding the main army groups and demolishing them in order to force a “surrender” but the problem is, we’re seeing the fanaticism of the Ukrainian side is so vast — and this is mainly due to being fueled by massive targeted western propaganda campaign which continually reinforces the notion that they’re “winning” and the evil moskals are getting annihilated — so I could see a scenario where they bunker up in Kiev and turn it into a fortress city and refuse to submit and I honestly don’t know what Russia can do in such a scenario because the only way you can take them out is by leveling the entire world-beloved city.
The other scenario is where Ukrainian ‘command’ continually pushes further and further west until they bunker up in the farthest reaches of western Ukraine / Lyvov region. The president / command escapes to Poland (he might have done that already) and continues to give orders to the bunkered cities of Kiev and various other regional capitals. Those cities refuse to back down and “surrender despite being completely surrounded. Russia could technically control the entire country at that point, but the biggest cities could still remain in Ukrainian hands with no official ‘surrender’ in sight.
It’s extremely easy to be valiant and courageous when you have all of NATO/U.S. ostensibly ‘behind you’ and so the Ukie troops can hold out forever in such circumstances as long as there continues to be some “progress” in the propaganda that seems to at least suggest that NATO/U.S. will somehow come to their aid one way or another.
Meanwhile as I understand it Zelensky is being ordered by his controllers in the U.S. to not surrender under any circumstances so even if he were to want to, I doubt he can do so. Of course I wish/hope I am wrong but I don’t see it happening.
Another reason is: most people have overblown the threat of the eastern “cauldron” and think that 1. it will collapse soon and 2. once it does it’s “over” for the Ukrainian military. But the fact of the matter is, in my view firstly it will not collapse any time soon, even weeks ago I said it will likely take months to close that cauldron at current pace (with the caveat that once Mariupol is freed and those troops can come up to assist, MAYBE we can have faster break throughs but it’s hard to tell) and secondly, most people are discounting the fact that once it actually starts closing many/most of the hardened Ukrainian forces there could retreat in depth to 2nd echelon then 3rd echelon defensive lines, and continue doing so indefinitely until the last defensive line on the Dnieper but that could take an extremely long time.
Many people say “well they can’t retreat because most of their fuel/equipment/trucks is destroyed/gone. That could be true, it’s hard to say, because people –especially hardened veterans–can become quite flexible and pragmatic/creative when their life is on the line. There is variety of civilian vehicles they can commandeer and use to retreat and plus the retreat won’t happen all at once. As far as I’ve heard it’s already been happening in small trickles and it will be a gradual process of front lines thinning out while the troops fall back to 2nd tier lines behind, etc. With that said, one can argue that the process will speed up at that point because the whole reason WHY the advance is so slow on the cauldron is because the main 1st echelon defensive lines are highly entrenched over a course of 8 years they are absolutely hardened with rigorous bunkers/trenchwork/caponiers/you-name-it. So giving up those positions and falling back to less fortified areas could result in faster subsequent advances.
Like I said the real wildcard though is what happens after Mariupol. The reason I say it’s “hard to say” is because we don’t know with 100% certainty yet WHERE those troops will be sent. Maybe Russian MOD has other plans and they’ll be sent to Kherson instead to make that push for Krivoy Rog they seemed to have been doing. Or maybe sent north to Kharkiv, or maybe given a long break for some R&R or maybe thinned out and portions of it dispensed equally to every front. It’s impossible to know.
But either way I hope somehow you’re right and there’s a surrender of some sort, but my logical mind simply can’t see that happening unless it’s with some major “conditions” which are clearly a victory for Ukraine and stepback for Russian demands.
I understand that they can continue fighting because they are fanatical and being propped up by the western MSM but how can they fight without receiving food,water,ammunition and fuel supplies.
I also don’t think that the cauldron will collapse in days but i don’t think they can hold on for months especially because there is an obvious push from Izyum that is behind the cauldron.
depends where you’re talking about. Can’t speak in generalities because each grouping of Ukr armed forces is pretty much organizationally independent and has no connection with other groupings. So the answer is different for each one. In Mariupol obviously they can’t get resupplied so they are just stealing food from apartments etc., which both sides honestly seem to be doing as I’ve seen a video today of DPR troops “helping themselves” to some food from a blown up apartment. I don’t think you can really blame them, the place was deserted/destroyed and I don’t think anyone will be coming there any time soon so the food will be wasted/rotted anyway. But yes, because of this I don’t think Mariupol groupings can last too long.
But in other groupings, Donbass for instance, there’s still plenty of supply lines connecting them so I’m not sure why you suggest they should be starving or running out of ammo. The cauldron in Donbass is by no means cut off yet and so there is plenty of supplies they presumably are still receiving from their rearguard strongholds of Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, etc. Similarly troops in Kiev aren’t cut off because Kiev’s entire south is still open and can be resupplied via western Ukraine. So where is it exactly Ukrainian troops are supposed to be starving or running out of ammo? Unfortunately the long road to cutting their supplies still drags on and will for a long time most likely.
As for Izyum, well I’ll put it to you like this. There’s almost 200km from Izyum to the bottom of the cauldron. Recent advances have gone as slow as 1-2km a day so you do the math, that would put the cauldron closure at about 6-8 months time at that pace. Of course I think it may increase soon with certain developments that are happening, but my point is that don’t expect some miraculous fast cauldron closure any time soon. It all depends on how RF distributes its deployments coming up soon, particularly after fall of Mariupol and injection of new batch of troops that rumor says is going to happen soon.
I don’t expect the units coming from Izyum to go all the way to the bottom of the cauldron i expect them to be meet half way by the gays coming from the south.
The reason i think that is a game changer is because they probably don’t have that much fortifications to fall back to from that direction as much as they have to fall back from the southern front.
Every report that i read from that direction is that the Russian army is focusing a lot of troops in that area which means that they consider that axis off advance as being probably the most important in the Donbass.
I was talking about just the Donbass cauldron i don’t think that Kiev or Kharkov are that important strategically.
God help as all if Russia needs 6 months to end this.
You’re right, if/when the southern group pushes upward past Kurenkove to meet the Izyum group in the middle, but that could still take months at the current pace. But there are rumors/hints that Russia is about to inject a lot more forces which are currently staged in Belgorod region, which will be used in conjunction with freed up Mariupol forces for “phase 2” to close the cauldron. But there’s no saying how accurate the ‘rumors’ are, but there HAS been some footage, including new troop injections from the north and also the Pentagon or u.s. “intel sources” supposedly said the same thing, that Russia is concentrating more troops ready to come into theatre (this is separate from the ‘rumors’ from our guys and such) so it does seem to have a hint of credibility to it. I think right now Russia is likely biding its time waiting for Mariupol to drop and then we will see a renewed push/offensive with a new injection of fresh troops.
“that would put the cauldron closure at about 6-8 months time at that pace”
It is never linear equation. In the beginning attacker is at disadvantage, as time pass by MANY factors compound and defense collapses surprisingly fast. Lack of food is primary factor, than there is enormous psychological strain, worse than anything any of us experienced.
In war food rations are brought in advance for 20 or so days, more is logistical nightmare. Problem with human shield is that all of them eat. Without constant food supply, modern cities are out of food in days. Many edibles can not last for long. There is no cattle nor poultry. Did you notice total destruction of shopping moles and hyper-markets? Hunger starts after 3-4 weeks, sharply. After that – the hell broke loose for defenders. Expect that many of Nazi commissars will be shot in the back before whole unit go AWOL.
Mind that process is the same in ALL surrounded cities. When they start to surrender, it will be almost simultaneously. Like they act together. No, the main factor is rotting of food supply, which is natural process . Same everywhere. The bigger the city – the more problems it will have.
Thanks for your insights and comments.
A question about your fears of besieging cities…Do the cities have to be seized by force? The partial enclosure with humanitarian corridors kept open for anyone wanting to leave should eventually drain civilians and soldiers laying down their arms. It’s not total enclosure where the residents would be starved into submission – too many echoes of Leningrad in that strategy – Kiev people have the choice to leave and in due course they surely must once food runs low.
Not sure how the Ukie troops can hold out forever in such circumstances. No one starves voluntarily.
What is the truth about Ukrainian claims about retaking some places aroung Kharkov and Kiev and specially Kherson?

Assault on Mariupol on March 27. REAL HELL is happening there: the latest videos from the internet (20 videos, 2022)
At the moment, the territorial control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the nationalist regiment “Azov”has been reduced to three sections: Azovstal, Severny and Primorye. There is no longer a centralized connection between the sections. On the left bank, the cleaning of residential areas is being completed, and battles are being fought in industrial zones adjacent to Azovstal. In particular, we are talking about the battles in the area of the intersection of the Ukrainian Cossacks and Taganrog. On the right bank there was a U-turn to the seaside group, intense fighting for the Prospekt Mira-Italianskaya area.
In the north, fighting is underway in the area of Gonda-slag mountain, the exact line of control is unknown. But the slag mountain itself, apparently, is still controlled by Ukrainian units. The entire length of Metallurg Avenue itself is under the control of the Allied forces. The situation is changing rapidly.
The city is badly destroyed, the burnt-out houses will definitely be demolished. There is no one to put out fires, people are just trying to save their lives.

La memoria de los esclavos insurrectos de Roma y su comandante Espartaco, de los obreros y lavanderas de la Comuna de París, de los campesinos sublevados contra el poder feudal en toda Europa, fué honrada y glorificada con la Gloriosa Revolución Soviética.
Después de derrotar innumerables intentos de las clases parasitarias nacionales y extranjeras de recuperar el poder, el Pueblo Trabajador Ruso, bajo la firme dirección del Mariscal Iósif Vissariónovich Dzhugashvili, consiguió destruir el fascismo alemán, (no así el fascismo anglo, que todavía no se atrevía a decir su nombre. A ése le toca ahora).
Gloria al Pueblo Trabajador Ruso! Gloria a las Repúblicas Populares de Doneskt y Lugansk!
Honor and Glory to the Russian People who managed to defeat the parasitic classes and create the first workers’ and peasants’ state for the first time in history.
The memory of the insurrectionary slaves of Rome and their commander Spartacus, of the workers and washerwomen of the Paris Commune, of the peasants revolted against the feudal power all over Europe, was honored and glorified with the Glorious Soviet Revolution.
After defeating innumerable attempts of the domestic and foreign parasitic classes to regain power, the Russian Working People, under the firm leadership of Marshal Yossif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, succeeded in destroying German fascism, (not so Anglo fascism, which still did not dare to speak its name. It is his turn now).
Glory to the Russian Working People! Glory to the Doneskt and Lugansk People’s Republics!

I watched with absolute disgust Joe Biden’s speech yesterday. Apart from being overwrought with emotion the total absence of thought, of diplomacy, of reason and rationale is indeed alarming. The message I took from it is the USA and the West are in a “manic desperation” state of mind because President Putin, who for me is the only person in this with integrity, truth and right on his side, has dared to step up to the mark and ruin the ambitions of WEF, the One World Order and has given the USA and the West an almighty punch in the face. Well, thanks to the courage of President Putin to make the tough but necessary decisions, the Unipolar world order is now in destruction mode. What has stood out for me in all of this, and I knew it already but this has brought it to the fore, that the calibre, intelligence, intellect and courage of Russian politicians to tell the truth and absorb the hysteria, the hatred and the hype in its stride and issue proper, diplomatic but truthful responses, have far more superior politicians than we do in the West. Here in the UK we currently have the most corrupt Government in UK parliamentary history and a morally bankrupt, wholly incompetent, opposition in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party. The Russian and Chinese Politicians are a model of restraint, diplomacy, truth, logic and focus in comparison to ours. Where is our own Tucker Carlsson on the BBC, ITV, C4 and C5? On UK Column News on Friday, Patrick Henningsen made the point that the West is destroying itself for a country that was, before all this, considered to be the most corrupt country in Europe with 38 politicians being in the Pandora Papers have misappropriate billions of dollars from Ukrainian citizens and had been criticised by the West for out of control Nazi policies. Zelensky has also just closed down all TV channels and only one channel is available and has shut down all opposition parties with the exception of 2 that are of the Nazi ideology. This is now a ruthless dictatorship in which Zelensky is, in effect, killing his own citizens without impunity and opposition He is a War Criminal true and proper and should be arrested as such. The West and USA should be thoroughly ashamed of itself in giving this rogue, thief, liar and corrupt politician any time at all. Our politicians are only interested in their own power and all of them in Europe are currently wannabe Dictators. They have been found out. God Bless President Putin for his courage, his integrity, his intelligence and his committment to truth and justice. Compare Biden’s idiotic speech to Putin’s 3 speeches from the start of all of this. I know who I would rather be President of my country and it isn’t Biden. I think it was a Russian Cosmonaught, Rosgarov (or something like that) said the correction by US Government staff of Biden’s comments that Putin should not be in power was in fact, a correction by his Demential Medical Team!! Way to go Russia!
Yes he is a “rogue, thief, liar and corrupt politician”, however he is also just a puppet taking orders and has no authority. The real criminals are the jooish oligarchs/godfathers that pull his strings. And the scum running the shitshow which is the AZ empire.
Don’t diminish this Zelensky’s responsibility. He is a billionaire with mansions in Florida and Tuscany, and sure as shyte that wasn’t earned as a comedian or on his salary as President.

Turkey. It is clear who is stirring the pot in NK. And the SAA just blowed up a turkish armored vehicle. Because two messages are clearer than one. The chinese ain’t happy that a new war explodes between eurasian nations, to the advantage of the anglo hyenas.
Thanks, lost Turkey from my radar. This really makes the only sense and it’s about time, the Sultan get’s a little adjustment to his ambitions.
Iran will respond against the Azeri who are alligned with Ishreal and Turkey. Armenia is allied to both Russia and Iran. If the west opens up a second front against Russia in Nogoro Kharabakh region as ukraine repeatedly has been begging to do so with Azerbaijan. Russia need not worry, Iran will do the bidding there.

Turkey & Israel are stirring the pot to make things more complicated for Russia. Opening a second front at a crucial moment of the battle against Ukraine, with the threat of a NATO intervention, is a traitorous backstabbing from Azerbaijan. Iran had already threatened, during the last confrontation, to intervene in favor of Armenia, if Azerbaijan continued its aggression. There might be an arrangement between Russia and Iran in favor of an Iranian intervention in case Turkey & Israel wanted to exploit the moment to spur Azerbaijan into attacking Armenia. Otherwise, Russia will have to activate the CSTO in favor of Armenia, in detriment of her relationship with Azerbaijan.

I just was irritated because I only thought about Russia going to intervene there against Azerbaijan.
That’s why I wondered, wtf would Iran act against his ally.

heck..does anyone believe Z offers are serious as they are still conditional it seems ….not sure why Turkey is believing itself to be a facilitator for the relocated negotiations as it is still supplying UAVs….is Russia agreeing the relocation to give a false sense of security but has another gameplan?

If anyone missed Pepe’s excellent social media posts from a couple days ago on this, here is a re-cap:
https://rumble.com/vymhkz-ukraine-war-report-day-31-of-russian-intervention.html
I don’t believe western media 9/10 times. It would be helpful to know the Russian response or a balanced observers response, if any, to this from the UK Daily Mail:
Putin ‘loses his FIFTH general’: Top commander who bragged the war would be over ‘in a few hours’ is killed in Ukrainian strike – as Kyiv continues to take out Moscow’s elite troops…
“Putin is thought to have planned for a short and sharp invasion lasting only a few days, aimed at decapitating the government and installing a puppet regime. Instead he has found himself sucked into a hugely demanding war of attrition.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10651979/Putin-loses-FIFTH-general-Russian-commander-killed-Ukrainian-strike-military-sources-claim.html
Did a general get killed or is this western agitprop bovine excrement?
I haven’t seen a single shred of proof or official confirmation of a single one of those general deaths apart from the guy in Mariupol who was deputy commander of black sea fleet. The propagandists will say “Russia must be hiding their deaths”, but the problem with that argument is that when the deputy black sea fleet guy died, Russia fully acknowledged it and held a huge public funeral for him where many of his colleagues attended, televised etc……so why wouldn’t it be the same for the other guys?
Btw this comes from the same people who said that 1. Putin fired Shoigu because he wasn’t seen in 2 weeks, then changed the story to 2. Shoigu secretly died of a heart attack and they’re covering it up. Now Shoigu has been seen on numerous videos yesterday having regular meetings with staff….and now their excuse changes to “Well…he probably had the heart attack but recovered.” What a joke.
No surprise there,the Dailyfail supported the Nazis before the war and Mosley’s blackshirt fascists.
Not only the Daily Mail:
https://mariosousa.se/LiesconcerningthehistoryoftheSovietUnion.html
Robert Conquest at the heart of the myths
This man, who is so widely quoted in the bourgeois press, this veritable oracle of the bourgeoisie, deserves some specific attention at this point. Robert Conquest is one of the two authors who has most written on the millions dying in the Soviet Union. He is in truth the creator of all the myths and lies concerning the Soviet Union that have been spread since the Second World War.
………
Conquest’s past was exposed by the Guardian of 27 January 1978 in an article which identified him as a former agent in the disinformation department of the British Secret Service, i.e., the Information Research Department (IRD). The IRD was a section set up in 1947 (originally called the Communist Information Bureau) whose main task it was to combat communist influence throughout the world by planting stories among politicians, journalists and others in a position to influence public opinion. The activities of the IRD were very wide-ranging, as much in Britain as abroad. When the IRD had to be formally disbanded in 1977, as a result of the exposure of its involvement with the far right, it was discovered that in ****Britain alone more than 100 of the best-known journalists had an IRD contact who regularly supplied them with material for articles****. This was routine in several major British newspapers, such as the ****Financial Times, The Times, Economist, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, The Express, The Guardian and others****. The facts exposed by the Guardian therefore give us an indication as to how the secret services were able to manipulate the news reaching the public at large.
I am a vegan and an animal rights activist. I am in no way woke or weak nor do I hate humans or Russians. I have admired Vladamir Putin for many years now for his intelligence and his courage. I absolutely feel that the West created a situation in which Russia had no choice but to defend it’s security and I am grateful that they have exposed the bio-labs on their borders. I do not reside in Zone A and I resent the article by the” Funny Man” about the “Ideological Poultry Farm.” To make light of the existential misery that these birds endure for the entirety of their short life demonstrates, to me, a complete lack of compassion for any living thing outside of one’s own myopic perception and a total lack of empathy for the suffering of others. This is the same lack present throughout Zone A. This lack is what allows the hatred for Russians that Andrei talks about. It is empathy that allows me to recognize and feel his (Andrei’s) pain (I don’t pretend to entirely by any means) and to think how sad it must be for him to live here and feel a part of this country and feel a palpable hatred towards him because of his nationality. Empathy is what Jesus showed us and shows us. It is far far from weak and I am proud to speak up for chickens, descendants of the Red Jungle Fowl from Southeast Asia, an extraordinarily courageous bird in his and her own right. Both Roosters and Hens have been known to defend their family to their death.
Dear Cynthia, If it’s any solace, the point of the article is that we humans are regarded as chickens to be raised for exploitation of our bodies by unseen rulers. I have a small chicken coup with typically 6-8 chickens. Chickens have individual personalities and feel happiness and fear, just like humans. We also have a few ducks which bond together stronger than most marriages. I understand your point but the main message is that we in the West are treated no better than animals raised for meat. Fortunately, some of us have flown the coup so to speak. All the best.
@Cynthia Hope,
While I am not vegan, I lean heavily vegetarian in my diet and have at times flirted with veganism. However, I do not think those who are anti-imperialist (basically against the West and its relentless attempts to preserve its empires) are necessarily in alignment on all issues. There are some here who have advocated that Russia take a more aggressive posture against the West, up to and including nuclear war. One of the primary reasons to avoid nuclear war is that it condemns not only humans to extermination but ALL life, animal as well as human, to extinction. All life on the planet should not be victim to power struggles between humans. This is why I like Russia’s measured approach towards NATO. All animal and plant lovers (I truly love the great forests) should understand this linkage. If humans want to kill each other it should not be at the expense of other forms of life.
The US based Gateway Pundit is reporting torture and war crimes against RF POWs.
Yep this new footage is getting a lot of airplay to the point even western shills and Ukraine supporters are disgusted by it. Even Bellingcat reportedly is now doing an “investigation” to uncover the Ukrainian perpetrators responsible so they can be ‘punished’. (probably just an act to pretend being unbiased, but who knows)
“Heard from some Donbass people that Ukrainians who have torture videos on their phones are being summarily executed by some Militia soldiers (war crime, not official policy). There are at least 10x more Ukrainian than Russian POWs – doing this shit as the weaker side is… dumb.”
The above ‘rumor’ is implying that DPR soldiers are executing any Ukrainian who is found to have torture videos on their phone upon capture.
Glancing at Moon of Alabama. He posts a tweet from Scott Ritter:
Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter – 20:33 UTC · Mar 26, 2022
Our President calls for regime change in Russia the same week he promulgates policy that embraces preemptive nuclear strikes in non-nuclear situations. His administration is planning on deploying Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles in Europe later this year. A madman rules America.
I don’t know anything about this Dark Eagle hypersonic missile. What I’ve been able to gather on the net, from dubious corporate media sources, is that this is set to be introduced in 2023. Does this missile exist? It’s hard to think it doesn’t. Ritter has been so right on so many things – hard to think he has been duped. Thoughts?
Experts doubted that US can catch up in hypersonic deployment in Fiscal Year 2023, that is October 1, 2022. Three consecutive tests had failed, but that won’t diminish politicians’ zeal to spin any web they fancy, just look at Trump, now Biden. One job of the POTUS is to keep citizens puffed up in their invincibility.
Dark Eagle can be just like R. Reagan’s lies and rigged tests of US “Star Wars”, another puffed up US invincibility.
Here is an extensive analysis of the US hypersonic weapon status, not very flattering, to say the least:

People apparently dont approve of this ugly thing.
The biggest news of the day so far (to me) might have flown under the radar:
Head of the Lugansk Republic has announced that he intends to soon call for referendum for Lugansk Republic to join the Russian Federation.
Here’s what the report states:
(autotranslated)
“The head of the Lugansk People’s Republic, Pasechnik, said that a referendum on joining the LPR to Russia could soon be held in the republic.
The Federation Council has already stated that they see no major obstacles for the DPR and LPR, as sovereign states, to hold referendums on this issue on their territory.
Meanwhile, the State Duma said that now is not the right time.
So to speak, the announcement of the expansion of the number of subjects of the Russian Federation.
Of course, before the end of intense hostilities, the issue of referendums is unlikely to be implemented. Moreover, until the completion of the liberation of the remaining territories of the DPR and LPR from Ukrainian occupation.”
————–
So in short, the Russian State Duma said it must wait until the end of the military operation and the full liberation of DNR/DPR for obvious reasons, but it now seems highly likely and perhaps inevitable that the Russian Federation does in fact plan to absorb both DPR and LPR into Russia proper.
Video of Head of the Lugansk Republic: https://twitter.com/Russ_Warrior/status/1508019568190836737
“The head of the #LPR Leonid Pasechnik: The ultimate goal of the residents of the Lugansk People’s Republic, and I am sure I am expressing the opinion of the overwhelming majority of citizens of the republic, is to join the Russian Federation.”
—————–
The only question that remains, does Russia intend to incorporate ONLY LPR / DPR into the RF? Or does it intend to go even further? Because what we are currently witnessing in some of the captured regions that go BEYOND the borders of DPR, is an integration into the Russian administrative and economic infrastructure. Specifically, in Kherson region they have switched to transactions in Rubles, or at the least added the ability to transact in Rubles on top of Hryvnia and have sent Russian administrative staff to some of the surrounding regions to begin administrating, as well as broadcasting Russian-only stations and cutting the regions off from Ukrainian broadcast infrastructure. We’ve seen many of the maps showing potential “division” of Ukraine where Russia will control the entire corridor from LPR, DPR down to Mariupol, Kherson, and Odessa, leaving Lyviv Oblast for Poland and Kiev area as the nominal “Ukraine” leftover state.
So that is the big question, will Russia actually incorporate Mariupol — Odessa region to make a contiguous Russian border/corridor that covers Crimea as well? Anyways, that is the age-old question that’s already been debated, but the new addition is the foremost from above that LPR/DPR will likely be incorporated into the RF officially after the cessation of conflict.
Russia wants the Black sea coast 100 times more then Kiev and Kharkov.For economic,military and historic reasons all of the south of Ukraine is the prime target for Russia.

I believe the LDNR are getting ahead of the game. Any meaningful political/administrative process joining Russia will have to wait until the war has ended. Not worth it to add a burden to Russia right now, her hands are full.
Good idea, but no cigar…yet…

Looking outside of this “on-the-ground” scenario, Russia seems to be the spearhead of the opposition to the WEF proposed Reset ideology. There are millions, no billions, who would back a reasonable alternative to the absurd scenario “proposed” by the globalists. Russia has the moral high ground; it’s total package may not be acceptable to all But, certain strains of it may be – such as God first, Humans first, Sovereignty first, etc.
If Russia spearheads this and is able to get the message across that they are not only firmly behind these noble ideals, they are also behind the right to self determination of every individual and divine future of humanity in general, then humanity will rally around her. We rally around the Godliness in each and every one of us; right now we just need a rallying point.
Should Russia hold True and emit this communication far and wide, we will be there not only for Russia but for all of humanity who choose Goodness.
Let it be so.
The inestimable Maria Zhakarova mentioned this not too long ago. I believe that Russia will absorb LDNR and the entire southern region of Black Sea to Odessa.
Whether Russia goes all the way to the Dnieper eastern bank is the greater question, here it’s less obvious but in my opinion they will.
