I am a fast-fading old boomer that has trouble with new concepts and terms. I really enjoyed your essay on Tuva and appreciate that you are able to analyze and discuss more than the war between the USA and Russia.

The term "5D", often used to preface the word "chess", appears frequently these days. At the same time, there seems to be an undercurrent of panic in the West over the proliferation of 5D Internet services and how this might effect our world and our societies. I would ilke to learn what this phrase really means in all of its uses.

It is interesting to learn that Russia has its dissidents and political agitators. America seems to have been overrun and conquered by ours.

When I am not napping or gobbling pills out of my Organizer, I am literally on the edge of my seat. I often wonder when Darya Dugina will be avenged, whether Victoria Nuland will be assassinated, and whether LGBTQ+++ will define the 21st century.

Keep up the good work. While I read several Substack authors, you are one of only three I can afford to subscribe to.

Strelkov has been predicting for months that Wagner and Prigozhins days are numbered. I hate that he is never wrong. Ever. Its not just the Kremlinites that hate him but Prigozhin also doesn't like him but alas they are in agreement about whats happening at the front lol.

Here is a machine translation of Prigozhins appeal to whoever will listen to him for the readership:

– "As they say, shit is boiling, blood is boiling, but the questions I asked about ammunition, unfortunately, remain absolutely unresolved. This is a serious problem. Moreover, there is ammunition in the country, statements have been made about this more than once. The industry has reached the required volumes. Gives what the country needs. Moreover, it gives with a margin.

I know the warehouses, I know the batch numbers, I know the box numbers. I clearly understand where everything is. And I know that these ammunition is there. But I can't solve this problem despite all my acquaintances and connections. Everything is sinking and sinking. No decisions are being taken.

Generals, officers, in military headquarters, in various positions help in any way they can. They help with all their might. They try. They resist. Sometimes they violate military laws in order to give us additional ammunition, which we so badly need.

No one has any understanding of where certain limits came from. Where did the procedures for which you need to get ammunition come from. No one knows how to sign certain documents. Everyone nods somewhere up. Pointing the finger up, and they say that – you know, Evgeny Viktorovich, you have a difficult relationship over there. Continuing to point up and roll your eyes. So you need to go apologize and apologize. Then your fighters will receive ammunition.

To whom should I apologize? Who to blame? 140,000,000 Russians, please tell me to whom should I apologize so that my guys die twice as often as they do today?!

Today, twice as many Wagner fighters die every day, and not only Wagner fighters, but also other military units that we cannot cover from- for complete shell starvation which we are not given what is in the warehouses. Someone is sitting bending his fingers and, according to his understanding, according to his mood, makes decisions whether to give us certain shells or not. At this time, a specific person dies. He's lying in a trench. An enemy projectile arrives on it. We cannot stop the enemy's artillery because we have no means of destruction. And this particular person has two legs or two arms torn off. A particular wife, daughter, son or mother is deprived of their loved one. We put him in a zinc coffin. And we're taking them to the cemetery to bury them. Is there really no conscience to stop fucking like a fly on a glass?

Applications are written every day according to the agreed regulations and submitted to the relevant authorities, but after that no one knows who should give an answer and where they should go. My efforts to get are not enough.

These guys – they didn't go to war for Prigozhin. They went to fight for their homeland. And the whole advantage of Prigozhin is that they trust him and saw him as one of them. Of those who need a victory in this war.

Those who prevent us from winning this war, they are directly, absolutely directly working for the enemy. They help the enemy break the backbone of Russia! We have a tradition that Russians die, but do not give up. And Russians are dying, only they are not dying for their home and their Homeland, and half of them are dying because some military functionaries do not want to tear their ass off and understand that these are not whims. You can't be capricious at a time when the country is in danger.

I'm not accusing anyone and I don't want to charge anyone with anything. I'm just saying – leave your whims. Leave your principles. And give me ammunition. I'm not poking you in the nose by the fact that you are sitting having breakfast, lunch and dinner with golden dishes, and sending your daughters, granddaughters and Bugs to rest in Dubai. Not being shy about anything. At the moment when a Russian soldier dies at the front. I'm just asking – give me ammunition!"

5D fake out and all is going according to plan or is Prigozhin dead serious there? Kadyrov and the governor of Crimea have also come out publicly in support of Prigozhin. 1917 incoming again imo. Just like how internal sabotage, moronic spooks and disloyal elites ended the old Empire we are seeing history repeat as farce. The war is just bringing into sharp focus all the cracks, contradictions and general tottering foundation that the RF rests upon today.
