It is to the advantage of the major players on both "sides" to keep the war going on for as long as possible, while keeping the heads of the mafias (Obama, Putin) in their places of power. Biden, and now Harris (both obvious puppets, whose puppeteer is Obama) have always talked about keeping Ukraine "in the fight" - but not winning the war. Doing the latter means the game ends and the opportunities for both mafias to suck money out of the populations on which they are parasites ends as well - in Russia, by outright theft (Shoigu just won top honors in this competition), and in America/the "West" by fraud (those $1000 toilet seats and trillion dollar "defense" budgets - with "national security" to cover up the crime ). War is the ultimate consumer economy - materiel and troops are consumed and destroyed, producing a need to supply more, which is a way to increase profits, and decrease the number of people in the lower classes who can suck up government money - or keep their own. As General Smedley Butler (USMC - Uncle Sam's Misguided Children) once said, "War is a racket" - https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.pdf - nearly a century ago, and it's still true. Putin does still have competent generals to head things up that he hasn't outright killed like Prigozhin and Utkin - Popov and Strelkov in jail, someplace, and Surovikin in the wilds of Africa - but they'd finish the war and the carnival of greed, theft, and fraud, and that just can't be allowed to happen... He did shitcan Gerasimov, the incompetence just became too blatant and out in the open - and so Putin is anxiously casting about for "generals" whose incompetence isn't at the star level of Gerasimov... the idea is to keep the game going, because that's where the money is, as Willie Sutton, the famous bank robber, put it so long ago.
Yep, gone and replaced by the head of the FSB for a day, then by Putin's personal bodyguard - Dyunin or something... Surovikin is still in the weeds of Africa, wandering about, where he'll be no threat to Putin or putting an end to the game.
At this point in time it is impossible to consider this Kursk event as just ANOTHER intel failure , it cannot be that two years into the not war Putin still has kindergarten intel. Something else must be happening behind the scenes. So has Gerasimov been sacked or no?
Yep, replaced by Bortnikov of FSB first, for 24 hours, then by Dyumin, Putin's personal bodyguard. Neither have any military experience - but Putin doesn't trust people with military experience or connections, and only hangs out with fellow spies with the same feelings, so he can only choose people who have no competence in military affairs to head up his armed forces. His ultimate best choice, therefore, would be Kamala Harris, who has no experience in doing anything and babbles nonsense - but she's been chosen for the next puppet ruler of the US.
" 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. "
Hence, why a "Putin" was needed and is being propped up all these decades. After all, Kissinger was his dear friend and mentor. Pure cohencidence I'm sure.
"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?"~ibid
This is precisely what's been happening since Bill Clinton's "NATO" admitted the first former Warsaw Pact nations into this alliance. Since then, every successive U$@ POTUS has slowly tightened the screws while Moscow does literally nothing in response.
Given the present pathetic state of Russia's conventional forces--and the repeated crossing of "red lines" by the West with no response--I'm beginning to worry about the actual state of Russia's nuclear deterrent.
It really hurts now, Rurik. This is torture. I know I know I know it's true. But it still hurts, dammit. I started to believe around a year ago, right? Or was it earlier when I became a paying subscriber just for the heck of being smacked over and over again by your damned truths? Yet, honoestly, doesn't it hurt you as well?
You are pefectly right...The West never keep his promises but Putin continues to set "red lines" which are crossed all the time. So unless if Putin is as much senile as Biden something else is going on...
By the way, Russia and his theoretical allies play always defense, never attack and above all no retaliation. Per instance, after the Nordstream pipelines have been destroyed why nothing happened to the US terminal exporting LNG from the US ? In Bangladesh, Myanmar, the US/UK are playing with "color revolution" but even the chinese are doing nothing
Innovative Ukrainian Naval Tactics Largely Nullify Russia’s Black Sea Superiority
John C. K. Daly
Executive Summary:
Since February 2022, the Ukrainian Navy has demonstrated its ability to counter the world’s supposed third-best military through innovative weaponry and unmanned naval drones.
The use of unmanned systems, particularly drones, has emerged as a critical element in modern naval warfare, with both Ukraine and Russia rapidly advancing their technologies to counter each other.
The ongoing conflict in the Black Sea serves as a testing ground for future naval warfare, demonstrating the evolving nature of unmanned weaponry and informing foreign states of how to revise their maritime defense strategies.
On August 2, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that it had again attacked and, this time, destroyed the Rostov-na-Donu Kilo-class attack submarine in Sevastopol, one of the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s (BSF) four Kilo-class submarines capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles (Ukrainska Pravda, August 3). The submarine’s destruction leaves the BSF with only the B-265 Krasnodar, B-268 Velikii Novgorod, and K-271 Kolpino as submarines capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles, torpedoes, and naval mines. As the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine wages on, Russia is still considered to have the world’s third-most powerful navy after the United States and China. While the ground war has turned attritional, the maritime situation is different. In the three years since Putin began his war, Ukraine has damaged, destroyed, or sunk at least 15 BSF warships and auxiliaries (see EDM, September 26, November 15, 2023, January 17, March 11, 26). Ukrainian unmanned naval drones have proven to be an elusive and persistent threat, reaching Russian targets hundreds of nautical miles from Ukrainian-controlled shores. By developing innovative weaponry allied to guerrilla naval tactics to contest Russia’s “command of the sea,” the Ukrainian Navy has managed several unexpected successes, highlighting the increasingly important role of unmanned systems in modern naval warfare.
This morning I saw an advertisement at a bus stop claiming that Ukraine has occupied 1,000 sq. kms of Russia. Why is it necessary for TPTB to insist that the proles and bums on buses be told this? That's an intensive propaganda operation to maintain belief in a crumbling 'Narrative' in the minds of people who don't matter.
I don't expect to see this sort of picture - although it may be more powerful propaganda - showing just how those Ukrainian soldiers are occupying the territory.
Those corpses may fertilize the soil, but Important People won't need to bother which of them rules exactly which part of it, let such concerns agitate the 'little people' into being willing to join the corpses. Yahu always wants more goyim blood to drink.
Indeed. This is just a propaganda operation with no sensible military objective. When the Russians swat the small teams buzzing around making selfies to lay claim to undefended villages and woods, the Ukies may be left with an unimpressive small area along the border which they may attempt to defend for a few weeks.
It may help Zelensky persuade the neocohens running the American government that this short-term media victory should cause them to continue supporting him a bit longer.
Even in propaganda terms the net effect will not favour Ukraine. Pictures of 'Ukrainian' troops dressed in old German WW2 helmets and shooting at Russian civilians whilst calling them 'Russian swine' in German can only serve to intensify Russian popular hatred for Ukrainians, Germans and everyone to their west. I expect that is the real intention of the yids - to expand the bloodletting and make it difficult for Putin to resist the surge of hatred in his populace and bureaucracy. More blood for Yahweh!
Agreed, all the more as the actual area the Ukrainians can defend is much smaller. 1,000 seems like a big number and proof of success to the proles. They won't be told the shrinking truth.
If indeed this entire conflict has been a pre-planned and gentlemanly agreed upon exercise in mutual destruction, then isn't it possible that there is very little in the way of actual combat being engaged in? If the generals are in on the fraud, then why go through all the effort to plan, coordinate, supply, commit, resupply, etc.? Why not just send troops into position, murder them once they are there, throw a few bombs on the crime scene, and call it the consequence of enemy action? You could then claim the expense of an actual war on paper and pocket the difference between what you state was the expense and the actual expense itself. Perhaps maintain a scattering of actual combat arenas so as to provide legitimate veterans to be sent home and interviewed by the gullible public, sort of like the fake Fremen sietches of the latter Dune books.
Just wait and see... Putin is clearly setting-up a judo-chess-moral-trap that will lead to Kyivs downfall. I am sure. Just two more weeks and the storm will be over. Patriots are in control.
JUST IN - Nord Stream bombings: Germany's Federal Prosecutor General issues an arrest warrant for a "Ukrainian diver," but he has reportedly disappeared without a trace.
Whilst attention is focused on the bloodshed and territorial changes of the Slow Moving Operation, some attend to the more important task of personal enrichment at public expense.
the UA strike on russian border is more than welcome for Putin because you see, the west attacks russian territory like 83 years ago in 1941 and this is the best message to the russian poeple that Putin did right with the SMO and had to defend Russia by saying STOP to NATO extension and gets more and more support form the russian poeple.

Has Gerasimov been dismissed?
Yep, gone and replaced by the head of the FSB for a day, then by Putin's personal bodyguard - Dyunin or something... Surovikin is still in the weeds of Africa, wandering about, where he'll be no threat to Putin or putting an end to the game.
This makes perfect sense

Waiting for PoS Sovok martyanov to expertly tell us how that submarine wasn't really good, just obsolete and it's all for the best anyway :D

The square root of 1,000 is a bit under 32.
So 32 km * 32 km of territory... Meh

Maybe, but let's see how far they get. Rurik's ultimate thesis seems to be the breakup of Russia, in which case this would be the first of many steps.
My point wasn't geopolitical - it's just that numbers that sound big are often not substantial if processed correctly.
Agreed, all the more as the actual area the Ukrainians can defend is much smaller. 1,000 seems like a big number and proof of success to the proles. They won't be told the shrinking truth.
in which country did you see that ?
In the country that used to be called 'INgland', but could now more appropriately be called 'NIgland'.
I looked for it this afternoon, but it had vanished , as rapidly as the Ukrainian 'gains'.
If indeed this entire conflict has been a pre-planned and gentlemanly agreed upon exercise in mutual destruction, then isn't it possible that there is very little in the way of actual combat being engaged in?

Ukraine has problems with corruption in the military: https://ukranews.com/en/news/1025867-28-employees-exposed-in-case-of-appropriation-of-more-than-uah-1-5-billion-allocated-for-defense
Shoigu and his gang are probably far in the lead.
The Pentagon can't account for growing trillions of dollars. Just how rich do Austin and his generals expect to become, with no apparent risk of jail?
If Russia mobilised again how long would it take to train them? 6 months
they wouldnt train them
Ha farking crazy shit. Point taken
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/08/12/ukraine-invasion-russia-could-end-putins-rule-zelensky/ Zelensky: Let me use British missiles to end Putin’s rule
I am no longer a misanthrope schizophrenic!
I am actually a prescient political seer!
:-D we always knew
only one think strikes me if I were Putin:
the UA strike on russian border is more than welcome for Putin because you see, the west attacks russian territory like 83 years ago in 1941 and this is the best message to the russian poeple that Putin did right with the SMO and had to defend Russia by saying STOP to NATO extension and gets more and more support form the russian poeple.
