Iran caught their deputy defence minister spying for the Britain. If an Iranian minister is a traitor, I am sure the same thing is going on in the Russian government.

As Albert Camus said to a friend explaining his reluctance to respond to a bunch of bullshit from Sartre: "What do you say to a sewer?" Looks like the "don't criticize your side or else it's treason" mentality has gone through zero change in our collective psyche since WWI. In any case, the red pilling of people over the last eight years shows that every individual has their moment of "going too far," which snaps them out of their socialized condition to varying degrees. As tedious as it is, one has to win people over incrementally and play the long game. But I'm sure you know that already.

In any case, don't let the screechers get you down and just do your thing. One can be critical and patriotic. And people who love their country ultimately know the difference between that and a hater disguised as a critical patriot.

We live in the age of Nietzsches "last man", getting any agreement from these lice would be the real insult. Enjoy the inevitable solitude of a true spiritual warrior and exclusive understanding by a few select here and there. You always make my day 👌

The attack on Moscow looks like a pretty clear cut attempt by the Ukrainians/NATO to hit an important decision making center. Time to shift that red line and keep shifting it until "if our esteemed Western Partners put Putins inner circle on trial for war crimes we will totally respond, 4 reelz this time". Or its more likely that no more talk of redlines will even be heard.

All the constant talk about Ukrains problems from Western media coupled with the Russian media not sounding triumphant on the other end is interesting. My take would be that Zog doesn't want Western audiences to think Ukraine will advance far into Russia proper, that is they want to geographically limit the war to its current margins in Ukraine. Perhaps Zog actually has some realist who agree with Prigozhin that a big attack on Russia proper with ground forces would be a mistake? Than on the other side we have the Russian media avoiding talking up Russias chances of successfully holding the line.

Doesn't this look like a concerted effort between Zog and the more extreme top placed Russian 5th columnist preparing a coup? The Ukrainians successfully smash the Russians in Kherson/Zaporozhye but the whole thing about totally liberating Donbass and taking Crimea back via force is dropped and instead these become objects of negotiation. If Zog and the 5th column are planning a coup they want Putin surrendering Donbass and Crimea via negotiations.

Its probably true that the Ukrainian military really is facing very severe problems of its own and isnt actually capable of say totally clearing out the LNR/DNR even with the help of MoD sabotage. Hence why Zog is actually not setting the bar that high for them, just a decently successful offensive will do. So negotiations are entered into after that offensive, the Kremlin rubes and lemmings confident that "the Ukrainians are hurting too" think like always that this time they will get an honest Minsk 3 and can reset the clock to before February of last year. But the actual terms Zog will foist on them will be "if you dont give back all of Donbass and Crimea the Poles, Romanians etc will openly intervene and its not like you guys will do anything about it".

At that point the Kremlin special ed crew will wring their hands, say they were fooled again and claim that in their moral purity they couldn't have seen it coming and retreat to Russias 1991 borders. They will assume they can manage the domestic backlash but the 5th column (of which Im positive the MoD faction around Shoigu is a part) make their move, maybe around the elections and Zogs proxies seize power and officially start a slow dismemberment of Russia granting the Oligarchs in the regions more and more autonomy until the country eventually starts to break up. And civil war follows.

Thats my head cannon for whats happening.

Very odd behaviour by Russia,

They have had glide bombs for years even used them in Syria a few years back. 13 months in a war with a hostile airspace someone thinks they might prove useful and they are but no rush

They have a range of FAB class bombs the largest FAB 9000 conventional equivalent to the Hiroshima blast, they have slightly smaller ones too like FAB 3000 / 5000, no one thinks to put glide wings on such things to take out a large concentration in non civilian areas like trench lines?

Then there`s smerch rocket system that can take out 70 blocks in one 30 second salvo, but no one thinks to use such a thing in ugledar or maryinka rather prefering retarded fight bitter WW1 style trench warfare.

The only explanation is corruption or 5th column deep infiltration in the decision making, the whole thing is so retarded.

The WEF comment: Its funny, because its true.

We are surrounded by people who would not make it to age 10 in the 1700's.

And they are EVERYWHERE.

Where is that collapse when you need one?

China takes an "evasive" position in the conflict, it is not necessary to expect a full-fledged "lend-lease." If it's not a win-win they're not interested. 🤑

As it became evident the conflict was being unnecessarily protracted it also became quite evident that there's something rotten in Denmark, or more precisely Moscow.

I understand India and China are operating the biggest refineries for "cheap" Russian oil which they're selling throughout Europe.

Of course, the European proletariat is still being ripped off, but the "Macron financiers" are doing quite nicely.

Germany is licking their lips in anticipation of selling and manufacturing cars in China. No self-respecting affluent chinese executive would deny himself a BMW or a Mercedes.

It appears the Ukraine/Russian slaughterhouse strengthened China and the US as every recent manufactured crisis thus far.

Economic restructuring is no fun for the peasants, but it's a joyride for the global feudal lords.

" (by the way, "strictly the opposite with 1941", when - despite the huge losses and evacuation of industry, the production of military materials rapidly increased the further - the more, by 1943, having "covered" all losses and allowing far to bypass the enemy in the production of the main types of weapons). "

By Stalin's and Krushev's own admission the Soviets wouldn't have won if it wasnt for the massive equipment supply convoys from the West.

Rus elites think that the west is corrupt (like them) and can just be paid off... but this ain't about the money it's about souls.

This is bad short-term, but good long-term, as the "emperor" is seen as more and more naked, hence more more and more Russians are waking up to the fact that this clown is just an apparatchik and an actor way over his head in global politics and pretty much everything.

Has anyone seen him outside, i.e. out of his dungeon where he's been hiding for the last couple of years from that virus that is out there to get him [1]?
