"If your threats and retaliations have not stopped the enemy from continuing their escalations, then of what use were they?" -- Anton Skywalker, No Country for Old Slavs.

One more Excellent article, Rurik! 👏👏👏

And waiting for the ending parts of the great "History of Zionism in URSS/Russia". You should do a book of it.

Off topic, but I just found out Krasnodar airport is still closed. It's nowhere even near the front lines.

This matches with what Rurik pointed out previously - Putin never developed Russia's high value industries and kept it as a natural resource supplier.

It seems Putin's job is to keep Russia down.

" It seems Putin's job is to keep Russia down. "

Bingo, we have a winner.

So the question is then: when do the Russians rise up and depose him? Never?

Very good question.

The only person who would stand a chance of answering this is our host, Rurik.

Level headed clear analysis as always

I await the Hinkle chimp out when seventy Trident-II's hit Moscow and then Putin bombs a stock pile of soviet artillery that was hidden in a bunker circa 1943.

These Ukrainian drone bombing raids will only increase because there is no effective response from the Kremlin. I think you will see 100 or 1000s drone bomber raids on Russian cities next year just like in ww2. Russian civillians will also die in increasing numbers. Bomb shelters are already being made in Moscow. Putin will continue to whine and complain and claim his moral superiorty like Ghandi which the ziggers will preach to the masses. When Trump gets into office he will try to make a deal but then an event or false flag will occur (likely caused by Ukraine) and then Trump will have to change his tune and it will be business as usual.

"The NATO missiles didn’t hit anything or were shot down" - MacGregor... Perhaps he's alluding to the well-known phenomenon of Italian restaurants "accidentally" burning down (usually reeking of gasoline) on a fairly regular schedule in certain major US cities. Instead of being hit by "debris", i.e. warheads, the factories are bing burned down by their owners (and the military installations, by the base commanders) as a means of getting more graft money, from which they can skim the usual 50%, and kick back a percentage to Putin. Ukraine just has to play along with the game. Same for papier-maché "power plants" in Ukraine. The right people get the money and all is well with the world as long as the forever war continues.

" why were these allegedly unstoppable ICBMs not rolled out when a capital of a Russian region was occupied (Kherson) "

Theater of course, all the world's a stage after all.

" And, in my opinion, it was the use of these "blank warheads" (blanks) that led to the absence of characteristic signs of explosions on the ground. "

With that in mind, check out the videos of the last Iranian "strike" on Israel. What was missing there also ?

Yes, yes and yes. With these wonderful missiles, more programmable than your washing-machine, Russia could have taken Kiev on day one.

Indeed! If the Russian duma were not a rubber-stamp pseudo-parliament comprised of assorted hacks from Putin-approved political parties, they should seize on the news of this oh so vaunted missile kept under wraps until now to investigate and impeach Putin and his entire claque.

I have a question. How can we tell if an article is behind the paywall? If not, I'd like to share the link on the Duran. The article is a brilliant refutation of the assertion that using the new missile represents a threatening Russian move in response to having a red line breached.

Two ways:

1) Most browsers have Private Mode/Window feature. E.g. In the menu, FF has New Private Window item (Ctrl+Shift+P). So copy the link, open new private window and open the link there as you will not be logged in.

2) Or, you can open your secondary browser (e.g. primary Firefox, secondary MS Edge) where you are not logged in, and open the link there.

Using either approach, if it shows up, then it's not paywalled. Some of the articles are partially shown, so check whether you can reach the end of the articles as well. Hope this helps

"A Russian source, who does not believe Putin ordered the General Staff to suspend its electric war campaign between August and this month, believes Russian strategy now is 'a thousand cuts. The Oreshnik is a particularly deep one but I don’t believe that the Kremlin and General Staff have decided to use it to hit Bankova [street address in Kiev of the presidential offices and living quarters ]. The decapitation threat is real enough though to impel Zelensky to exit, or maybe for the Ukrainian military to get rid of him on their own initiative.'

'Just as important,' the source says, 'the Russian ground offensive in the east will remain slow, patient, maybe for two years more. The priority is on preventing Russian casualties, conserving Russian lives. This is essential once you realize that the [Putin] presidential succession also depends, not only on winning the war on Russian terms, but ensuring the protection of Russian lives.'"~John Helmer

I bet Putin is just a little bit happy that the ICC ALSO issued an arrest warrent for Netenyahu

They are like the two 'outlaw' world leaders.

I wonder if they text each other and giggle about it. Worse case scenario, Putin has a nice condo on Tel Aviv

Anyway, the Israeli public relations ministry offered Zelensky a special thanks for all his hardwork and service to Israel

It's diffifcult to start the next phase of the greater israel project when nothing else is going on in the world.

"An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in central Beirut killed at least 20 people on Saturday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said, part of an intensifying Israeli military campaign that appears aimed at pressuring Hezbollah into a cease-fire deal.

The strike was an attempt to assassinate a top Hezbollah military commander, Mohammad Haidar, according to three Israeli defense officials who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive military operations. Hezbollah officials on Saturday afternoon said that none of the group’s leaders were at the site of the airstrike, and later in the day, one of the Israeli officials said Mr. Haidar was not killed."

Could be a rumor, but I've heard that Igor Girkin/Strelkov has signed papers to convert his sentence!?

Do you know anything about this Rolo?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If true, that was either converted for him, as Putin wants him disposed [1], or he signed it while planning to elope as soon as gets there, as he knows the area like the back of his hand.

Fun Fact:

When Yeltsin "selected" Putin as his secret successor he first went to Clinton / US State dept for their opinion and approval. Honk, Honk.
