Thank you for making the huge effort to write this, Dr Livsci! It’s brilliant and sobering.

"this is my first foray into blogging, so please bear with my writing" This is a false thought beamed into your head with REPTILIAN Technology. You write very well PATRIOT! By examining the Gematria in the menu in my hands at a Thai restaurant I OBSERVED that COMMANDER RURIK has promoted you to COMMANDER along with Riley and Mikovic. Stay frosty out there fellow anti-fascist warriors.

This explanation of events is the only logical explanation. I think it is correct to say that there was never any consideration given to fighting a real war and preparations were never made for that possibility. Only now is MOD starting to get their shit together and are having to rely heavily on Iran and to some extent North Korea....how embarrassing. Z-anoners though will never succumb to logic , fantasy is their only mode of analysis. Thanks for this article , very good.

The post made me think of a scene in the movie "Becket", with Peter O'Toole as King Henry II and Richard Burton as Becket. The movie opened with Henry and Becket working as a team and leading an expedition to take territory in France. At dawn, Henry wakes up ready to carry out a bloody assault on the city. Becket says, "It's OK your majesty. It's been all arranged. The city will surrender and you will ride in as triumphal conqueror. It's all arranged." Henry is obviously disappointed he can't have his slaughter, but there's nothing he can do about it.

I guess that was the outline for the Russian plan for Kiev and Kharkov. Unfortunately, they didn't have a Becket, and their planning went for naught.

I continue to marvel at the distance between the view of the SMO operation you get with the Duran and Martyanov and the view you get here. Martyanov said on his last appearance on The Duran "the Russian army is always thinking, always planning". On this blog, it's a comedy of bungles and improvisations. To a man, every commentator is assuring us that the Ukraine has no chance and Russia will win just as soon as The Plan permits.

Martyanov is a massive blowhard. He doesn't do any real analysis of the SMO. All he offers are unsupported assertions. His discussions almost all conform to one of two overarching themes:

* Look at all of Russia's wunderwaffe. Russians are much more advanced than the west

* Russian military and geostrategists are much better educated, and smarter than their peers in Western countries. His evidence for this is that even low ranking officers in the Russian military know how to calculate "firing solutions" and the understand how to solve elementary 'operations research' applied mathematics equations. Western think-tanks which publish public policy papers are not overwhelmingly staffed by engineers and STEM grads.

Ergo, Russian military, diplomacy, and geopolitical thinkers > *.

Honestly, Martyanov is barely able to string together a cogent argument. His presentations are all disorganized blather endlessly reiterating assertions of Russia's inevitable success, coupled with some nonsense about hyper-advanced Russian wunderwaffe or Western ignorance and incompetence. To him, the existence of political science hacks cranking out pabulum at American think-tanks means the West must fail. He doesn't even logically develop any of his incoherently stated theses into cogent arguments.

I did post a link to this article at The Duran. I'd be very interested to see a discussion of the differences in the respective analyses.

The rabbis always win. Heavenly Jerusalem and the destruction of the goyim are advanced, one way or another.

Depressing. It doesn't matter what new weapons and machines are added to the mix. You still need a 16 year old boy with a gun to stand on someone's neck, or their boys will be standing on yours.

How can you say Rurik is decent persons ? He take my subscription moneys on beer tour of Eastern Europe. No. Wait.

Is Slavsquat.

Rurik is nice boy. Yes.

Sophisticated analysis is, how you say, what we like here in village. Thank you.

Good work. One thing you didn't do was to give sufficient credit to Ukrainian corruption in stopping the tank etc columns going into Kiev. These columns depended on the roads being accurately described on maps as being two lanes wide, with shoulders. This was in fact not the case, the money to pave everything other than one lane (with crappy asphalt) had been stolen, so the roads were single lane with deep mud on either side. Any vehicle coming off the road or trying to turn around would get stuck in deep mud - which is what happened. The Ukrainian crook should have gotten a medal for this brilliant idea, but I think he just took the money and ran. So all that had to happen was for the rear vehicle to be immobilized - a couple of rounds of AP through the engine block would do that - and the same case for the front vehicle. And the rest could be picked off at leisure - and were. BTW, the mud was deep enough to stop tanks, they could spin their tracks all day long and go nowhere.

"The allegation that the “Spook + Crook state” of Russia i.e., the inescapable conclusion that the siloviks and oligarchs who run the country as a hostile elite are clearly treacherous and in cahoots with Washington and Tel Aviv is not made"

Put it this way: The Mullah's are taking risk if relying on The Kremlin to go to bat for them when they get smacked.

Especially after listening to MIchael Hudson.

I'd like to know where Iran's leadership is right now. Apparently an Iranian Govt plane just took off from Tehran.

All kinds of odd goings on right now:

They hightailed it for Pakistan apparently - maybe they have ED and not ready for the 60 young lovlies.

Anyway Israel/US have crushed them psychologically, contrary to what the partisan fanboys cheering for the righteous underdogs are dribbling.

Michael Hudson has a rare and prized skill of establishing his credibility by voicing some infrequently spoken truths and combing those with out and out bullshit. Take this passage from a recent paper of his:

https://www.unz.com/pescobar/the-gaza-genocide-as-explicit-policy-michael-hudson-names-all-names/

<i>"What we are seeing today [in Gaza] is the Final Solution to this plan. It also dovetails into U.S. desires to control the Middle East and its oil reserves. For U.S. diplomacy, the Middle East IS (in caps) oil. And ISIS is part of America’s foreign legion since it was first organized in Afghanistan to fight the Russians.

That is why Israeli policy has been coordinated with the U.S.. Israel is the main U.S. client oligarchy in the Middle East."</i>

^^^This is typical leftist claptrap. He states many things about the US relationship with Israel that are in fact true, but then casually slides in this kind of misleading legerdemain. The implication in this passage is that Israel serves the US as a "client state" and that the campaign of mass murder and ethnic cleansing Israel is waging in Gaza is, in some inscrutable and incoherent way, a function of "U.S. desires to control the Middle East and its oil reserves."

This, of course, is complete bullshit. Nothing that Israel is doing in Gaza enhances America's ability to control the oil reserves of the Middle East. If anything, it jeopardizes that goal by creating mass public dissatisfaction America's actual puppet regimes in the oil producing regions of the Middle East.

The simple fact is that American policy toward Israel and the enemies it chooses to antagonize, is almost entirely the result of well-organized pressure from elite oligarchs in America who actually care deeply about the fate and interests of their co-religionists.

Hudson raise an interesting issue that I have considered myself in that these situations don't develop organically, they are planned in advance with the end result being worked to.

So the current Ukraine vs Russia war situation is what was intended from the outset. The initial tactics were to lead up to this point - not to win.

Seems to be the plan.

Someone letting a nuke go would only be a matter of time, though.

Update: Reports of US troops from the 101st Airborne Division and French troops are now openly operating in Odessa. They crossed over from Romania.

Russian forces are aware of the situation and they will most likely eliminate the threat!! We are in uncharted waters. US Congress effectively declared war on Saturday!!

First question is, what is a BTG? The concept appears central to the thesis, but is never explained.

battalion tactical group

Thank you. I finally found the phrase. I would suggest the first usage would be "battalion tactical group (BTG)". I always try to pair the first use of an abbreviation with the full phrase.

That's a fair point, was thinking Imperium Press could do the translation. Though I don't have contacts for that.
