RT CONFIRMS Rurik Conspiracy Theory: "Washington Promised Moscow That the Russian Border Would Be Off-Limits!"

Belgorod and Kursk were supposed to be off-limits until they weren't.

First of all, it is so so so clear to everyone with a brain that the Ukrainian army is about to collapse. That is why they just pulled off a successful invasion of Russia. That is what collapsing armies do. Like, remember when the USSR invaded East Germany? Pure desperation. The USSR collapsed less than 50 years later. Coincidence? Unlikely.

So hush, child. All will be well. Here, read this and be mollified.

Sarcasm aside, it is little wonder that Putin got caught out so flat-footed by the “prank” of the UAF in Kursk (and perhaps neighboring regions as well?) when, as the headline suggests, he was given guarantees that these areas would be untouched. But who is making such a spurious and morally-evil claim? Probably the Anglo-Saxon-Bavarian-Bohemian-Netherlands-Northern Swissmen cabalists who run CNN, right?

Well, no, actually. RT reported on this secret gentleman’s agreement. Here:

To understand the situation with Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region, we need to consider that beyond the heavily fortified front lines where intense fighting has been ongoing for three years, the two states share over 1,000 kilometers of internationally recognized border. Most of this stretch is relatively peaceful, with low troop density on both sides – mostly border guards and reinforced security – and regular economic activity continues.

On August 6, reports emerged of Ukrainian forces entering Kursk near the town of Sudzha. Initially, this seemed like another routine border skirmish. However, by the end of the first day, it was clear that something bigger was unfolding – there were no staged TikTok videos or mass disinformation, and Kiev remained silent for two days, with Ukrainian Telegram channels primarily reposting Russian sources.

The first official statement from Kiev came on the morning of August 8. Mikhail Podoliak, an adviser to the Ukrainian president’s office, confirmed that regular troops had entered Kursk Region. By then, Russian reinforcements had been deployed to Sudzha, starting with special forces teams to eliminate isolated enemy groups, followed by regular units to bolster the area.

By August 8, the crisis was contained. Ukraine could not establish a continuous front line in Kursk Region, Sudzha was not captured, and barring any surprises, we can expect a tedious cleanup operation to remove Ukrainian forces while sporadic raids across the border continue.

The Ukrainian strategy resembled the 2022 autumn offensive in Kharkov Region: Create a numerical advantage in a narrow sector, penetrate enemy territory with light armored vehicles, spread quickly, and force defensive positions to retreat without a fight.

Western sources have provided insight into the scale of the operation. According to The Times, 6,000 to 10,000 Ukrainian troops are involved. Forbes has identified participating units, including the 22nd and 88th Mechanized Brigades and the 80th Air Assault Brigade, which it describes as one of Ukraine’s most elite and agile groupings.

Other information revealed that around 1,000 to 1,500 Ukrainian soldiers, several dozen armored vehicles, and a few tanks initially crossed into Russia, supported by artillery fire from the Ukrainian side of the border, heavily shelling Sudzha just 10km away.

These numbers align with Western reports. In military terms, the spearhead of an assault usually constitutes 15-20% of the total force, with the rest following up, securing flanks, and providing logistics, artillery support, and drone operations. Since the advance failed, most Ukrainian troops remain in Sumy Region, continuing cross-border incursions.

Where was the battle in which the advance was stopped?

Where is the video proof of flaming UAF tank columns?

Where are the dead bodies?

If it has “failed” it is because they didn’t use enough men for one reason or another, not because the advance was “stopped”. Chances are though, there are intense backroom negotiations going on with Kiev holding back its main thrust unless it gets what they want. Also, who on the Russian side is going to push back 10k troops + the reserves that RT admits exist and are waiting for the signal to deploy or not from the territory?

And why wouldn’t Kiev hold their beachhead for negotiating power at least?

Notably, throughout all the turmoil, the Sudzha gas station continued (and continues) to operate, facilitating the flow from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.

(…)

Now we arrive at the intriguing part. The relative calm along the 1,000-kilometer border for two and a half years likely wasn’t coincidental. We can suggest there were agreements between Moscow and Washington, specifically with the administration of US President Joe Biden. The White House openly opposed Ukrainian actions on territory recognized by the West as part of Russia (which includes the border areas we’re discussing).

Thus, numerous incursions across the shared border into Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk regions were conducted under false flags by specially created entities such as the ‘Russian Volunteer Corps’, the ‘Legion of Freedom for Russia’, and other neo-Nazi groups.

Kiev repeatedly tried to bypass the West’s red lines by any means necessary, arguing there is no need to fear escalation since Russia has limited capacity for retaliation, and so on.

This is such an amazing revelation. Devoted Stalkers will note that I have asserted the following before as well:

• The West was jerking back the chain of Kiev and not letting them invade Belgorod, Kursk for some reason

• Kiev always had the men and the means and the motive to invade otherwise

• The raids by these “volunteers” were done to prove that Putin’s so-called “Red Lines” were a bluff

• “Gentlemen’s deals” NOT military realities dictate the pace and nature of this war

• The West and the East are in communication and coordination this whole time

And now RT confirms it!

I am no longer a misanthrope schizophrenic!

I am actually a prescient political seer!

With a change in the White House, Kiev sees an opportunity. Leaks indicate that Kiev’s representatives have been communicating with advisers to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris rather than Biden for some time now. This presents a convenient moment to raise the stakes and confront the new team with a fait accompli: Look, we can successfully advance on Russian territory; it’s in your interest to support us.

Even partial success, securing just one city, would allow Kiev to demand more from Washington, then even more. It doesn’t matter that Russia will inevitably respond by fortifying its defenses here too. The media impact, as Kiev envisions, will last as long as the front line cuts through what is canonically Russian territory. Even a zero-sum result, if the raid has to be aborted, can be spun as a victory.

Yeah, well, the RT guy has put the cart before the horse again, unfortunately.

It is powerful people in the West (like Hillary Clinton, apparently) that are giving Kiev orders to attack Russia in exchange for more money. They hold the carrot and the stick, not Kiev. And we have partial proof from the leaked phonecalls, remember? In contrast, Kiev’s generals always pump the breaks and try to argue for adopting a patient, defensive strategy. But when the West snaps its fingers, Zelensky jumps and delivers an attack. If it goes well, he takes the credit. If not, he has a reason to fire more generals, who he instinctively mistrusts because they are not his ethnic cousins.

From Kiev’s perspective, such a gamble is worth the combat-ready brigades that would otherwise be lost ingloriously in yet another obscure Donetsk village. There’s more logic here than in the six-month bloodbath in Krynki (with over 1,000 casualties) or in the countless failed attempts to land a flag in Crimea or on sandy spits at the mouth of the Dnieper.

What will the Kremlin’s response be?

The second aim of the attempted incursion into Kursk Region is to stir discontent within Russia, portraying President Vladimir Putin as weak and provoking rash decisions.

(…)

From the Russian leadership’s perspective, sticking to its ‘special military operation’ strategy means it shouldn’t focus too heavily on events in Kursk to avoid playing into Kiev’s hands.

However, it’s not that simple. Moscow can’t ignore enemy actions. It’s not just about politically legitimizing what was previously unacceptable, as we’ve discussed. It’s about the raid on Sudzha forcing the Russian General Staff to reconsider the security of the 1,000km of shared border with Ukraine, anticipating that similar events could happen anywhere along it.

Under the Kremlin’s strategy, there is no clear-cut response to such a bold raid – the answer since February 2022 involves using all available resources while avoiding general mobilization or self-depletion. Moscow does not have another army ready and standing by to occupy newly vulnerable border areas.

So, the Kremlin was once again naively trusting their Western partners except this time, they trusted Washington with the defense of Russia’s borders. Such tender-hearted trust! All unreciprocated, unfortunately.

And, if the RT regime-approved writer admits that:

• the border was undefended and that

• Moscow was militarily unprepared for the invasion and that

• THEY HAVE NO SECOND ARMY TO RELY ON then …

… this begs the questions: who/what “stopped” the UAF advance?

If I had to guess, their chain just got jerked again, that’s all. Washington doesn’t want a full-blown freakout in Russia where Russians realize that their political leadership is losing gracefully and purposefully to their supposed enemies. Perhaps they do fear the response from a now-apathetic population. Best to take things incrementally, like slicing a salami or boiling a frog in water. This has been the West’s strategy for awhile now, to suffocate Russia slowly from both without and within.

Why risk it all now?

What’s next?

There are three potential scenarios for the developments in Kursk Region.

First: Russia could prepare a task force to carry out its own cross-border operation, either by opening a full-fledged second front (possibly targeting Sumy) or establishing a buffer zone similar to the one in Kharkov.

This would be Moscow’s most aggressive response options. It secures not only Kursk and neighboring regions but also provides a clear and direct answer to the Ukrainian raid.

But without additional mobilization, Moscow might lack the strength for a second front. Maintaining a narrow border strip with a dense front line requires a sizable force, which might be needed elsewhere.

Second: Kiev might have several fresh, well-trained, and equipped brigades ready to launch a new offensive on other Russian border regions or break through an existing front line. This would force Moscow to scale back or significantly slow down its operations in Donbass, reallocating troops from there. The political objectives mentioned earlier would be achieved.

However, there is no clear evidence that Kiev has such forces. Western sources indicate that the three brigades involved in the recent raid are all of Ukraine’s combat-ready reserves not engaged at the front. Even if this is not correct, Russia still holds a numerical advantage, the element of surprise is lost, and thus the chances of success for another attempt are lower.

You can almost see how the journalist is sweating at the thought of the loaded gun held behind his head as he writes this lol. Because he seesaws back and forth between stating the obvious and also providing nonsense cope.

What numerical advantage does Russia hold if you just got done explaining to us that Putin’s refusal to mobilize any more men means that there aren’t available men to deal with what is going on in Kursk?

And, if the UAF is indeed planning to breakthrough somewhere else as well, why are they seemingly so unaware of all of these so-called advantages that Russia enjoys? We are once again being asked to believe that the highly competent military force that just executed a maneuver that has evaded Russia’s generals capabilities, that they suddenly donned the dunce cap again and are about to stumble into a military catastrophe willingly because they’re just so gosh-darn evil and stupid.

I see no proof of the thesis that the UAF is actually Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Finally, the third scenario, which seems most likely given the Kremlin’s rhetoric: Neutralize Kiev’s actions with available resources, clear the border area of Ukrainian sabotage units, and prevent breakthroughs elsewhere. This allows Russia to continue its strategy, which Moscow believes is the most beneficial.

Lol, what happened to taking Kiev? To taking Kharkov? Odessa?

Denazification?

Demilitarizaton?

Just buffer zones and a NK/SK situation is now considered a big W?

Wow, truly, no one could have foreseen this … except for one man that is … although it is unclear whether he can truly be considered fully … human:

In this case, the border region will become another active combat zone, and the lack of decisive retribution allows Kiev to claim a shift in red lines and at least partial success.  Russian relying on limited forces and refusing to withdraw large numbers from the Donetsk theater would mean the operation to secure the Kursk borderlands could drag on.

We will soon see which scenario unfolds.

Yeah, more like we will soon see what Putin is ready to concede to this esteemed Western partners this time when he next records a video appeal to them and is bluntly rejected, again.

In conclusion, there are:

• Secret negotiations and secret rules of engagement which dictate when and where fighting is allowed

• This explains why Moscow stubbornly refuses to go AROUND the UAF’s strongholds and instead throws thousands of lives away attacking head-on

• In contrast, Kiev routinely breaks the rules

• Moscow appeals to Washington to reign them in but

• Washington and the rest of the West mostly just shrugs and says, “what is done is done, we promise not to do it again” before they

• Do it again and again and again … and AGAIN

• Putin does NOT have a secret army assembling under the Urals which means that

• No one “stopped” the invasion militarily, nor will there be a force that can deal with this any time soon unless troops are redeployed from Donbass

• Which should be done, but probably Putin and his team believe that a territory swap will get these regions back down the line but

• this premise is based on the West keeping its promises and they literally have no reason to or record of doing so …

Thus, the odds of yet more cross-border invasions by UAF troops in the immediate future looks good.

I sure wouldn’t bet against it.

And I can tell you with 100% certainty that this isn’t some clever kind of military trap like ZAnon is claiming. You need to snap out of it already, guy.

What did I tell you last time?

NO MORE COPING.

Also, fair is fair, since I didn’t paywall this article, I ask you guys to share it at least. You’ve delivered every single time I’ve asked you to so far. Thank you!
