Belgorod Revisited: Kiev Shells and Invades Russian Border Regions to Prove the Kremlin is Weak
Here we go again.
We have come to the point in the Ukraine war saga where the stories are beginning to repeat themselves.
Some examples:
Shoigu shooting down Russia’s own planes over the Azov sea
Putin whining that he got fooled by his Western partners
Putin asking for a new agreement with his Western partners
The MoD declaring a new red line that they then fail to enforce
A Russian ship sunk in the Black Sea with no consequences
Russian soldiers dying en masse under suspicious circumstance
Bombs going off in Russia, killing off important businessmen/public figures
And finally, Kiev sending in strike teams across the Russian border to harass border regions like Belgorod and Kursk
I don’t have much to say about these sorts of stories anymore because I have written the same article about these events at least 3 times for each bullet-point already.
Still, I have to at least mention what happened yesterday and is unfolding now:
There are real combined arms battles going on right now on the border of the Belgorod region. Ukies are using a full arsenal of heavy weapons.
There was once a prophet in the Fatherland [Prigozhin]. He was killed.
If you refuse to create a buffer sanitary zone on enemy territory, then you will end up with a war on your own.
The latest Belgorod incursion is still further proof of how incompetent the MoD and the FSB are. Border security is run by the FSB, or at least it used to be. They seem unable to stop the Ukrainians from crossing over willy-nilly, or at least that is what they want us to think. Perhaps they are allowing the crossings. I don’t know yet. Nothing would surprise me about this fake war anymore.
To my mind, Kiev is showing that they can take Russian territories, but not actually committing to anything because there is some kind of red line that Langley has outlined for them wherein they are not allowed to invade Russia proper yet. I think Kiev will invade Russian territories eventually, but with the cover of supposedly providing support for some kind of local uprising against Moscow. That is how these things are usually justified.
If you want to know some more about who these so-called Russian “volunteers” fighting against Moscow are, I wrote an very in-depth article on it here:
Who Are the So-Called "Russian Nationalists" Fighting on the Side of Kiev?
It appears that Kiev continues to be able to send people into Russia or recruit them from within Russia. Moscow, in particular, is crawling with agents. A cell got caught the other day: Today in Moscow, law enforcement officers detained members of the Russian Volunteer Corps (an organization banned in Russia). Let me remind you that the RDK is a unit of Russian volunteers formed in August 2022 who have been fighting on the side of Ukraine since 2014 (immigrants from the Azov regiment). RDK is subordinate to the GUR.
I find it baffling that people can comment on these people without providing names and receipts explaining who they are and where they came from. In short: they are “former” FSB assets and current SBU assets. You should sign up and read up on it. Seriously. Take the time to actually learn about what is really going on in this bizarre post-modern conflict.
There are videos of Russians trying to evacuate and not being let through at roadblocks set up by the MoD. There are also videos of Russian soldiers surrendering. A lot of info-shum around this event, as usual.
I think that my previous analysis of what the stakes are there hold up pretty well though:
The Situation in Belgorod is Out of Control
The Ukrainians have been able to strike into Russia proper, near Belgorod, with nigh impunity. This is a situation that has been unfolding for months now. Attack helicopters were sent into Belgorod, sabotage teams from the Ukrainian side, you name it. Depots, oil storage facilities, electrical stations and so on have been targeted, and the occasional mi…
But, of course, the latest incursion will simply be spun as being a great strategic win for the Kremlin.
Why? IDK, but I guess it proves that Kiev is “desperate” somehow.
When you attack your enemies, it proves your desperation I guess. The analysis surrounding this Not-War really is religious in nature. You have narrative priests interpreting and interpolating the holy scripture detailing the conflict and creating new dogmas and correct interpretations all the time. Woe unto the non-believer should he stray from the official ZAnon narrative:
The Belgorod Rorschach Test
As we already know by now, people are interpreting this war in whatever way they see fit and no discussion is possible, really, between the “pessimists” and “doomers”, no matter how many olive branches are extended. The commenters who dryly quipped that even a scenario in which Russia ended up getting nuked would still be spun as a victory against Satan…
Take the Rorschach Test yourself and see what you find.
I believe that my coming onto the analyst scene was actually part of God’s plan as well. I am the prophet that was denied. Castigated, derided, and most importantly, UNFUNDED.
Literally only two of you have signed up to support my work this month so far. And yet there have been 200 newcomers since then. The math just doesn’t add up. I will go paywall mode again shortly if my casual readers refuse to step up and support my work. Don’t test me, people. I have terrorized my readers before and will gladly do so again!
Don’t make me bring back Lord Humungus.
A couple of my Z anon friends are starting to ask , what is going on , why does Russia seem so weak , what are they waiting for. Faith and belief are fading . I point them towards this blog but the cog-diss is just too much . Will they eventually break , I think , the longer this fiasco not war goes on the more their faith is tested. But what about the wasted lives? The horror of it all , the death and carnage , for what? A war to prevent war?
The desire to be as well-informed as I can possibly be upon subjects which stand to affect my existence in a direct manner is more than a passive interest, in the manner of a hobby. It is an existential imperative. Over and over, year after year, I have not only been misled and outright lied to by the so-called "professional news analysts", but, worse still, I have fallen for their bunk and, as a result, have adopted warped worldviews which served so useful purpose. Quite the opposite, in fact. I became embittered and caustic, thinking I knew the score and lashing out at anyone who didn't "see" what I "saw", alienating myself from profound, mutually-beneficial human relationships, making myself a poor man in their absence.
I don't want to be lied to. I don't want to allow myself to be fooled. There is something about the analysis on this newsletter which strikes resonant chords of unbridled, unfettered truth. I signed up for the year. $57 is the price I would pay for a trio of informative used books. I expect I shall receive a well-rounded, honest education by dint of the perspectives I will be exposed to here in that year's time, should the Internet as we know it continue to exist for that long, which I suspect it will not. This is money more than well spent.
Thank you for the effort everyone responsible for this newsletter puts into its publication. I hope to one day learn how to sift through the voluminous garbage passed off as accurate information and learn to draw my own conclusions. As it stands, I'm but a simple groundsman for a tree company in Northern New Hampshire. I don't know anyone who can personally train me to hunt and bag the truth of the collective situation we face as a species.
Guard your souls and take care of each other. We're all we've got.
