Hi Rurik,

A follow-up to my post under

https://slavlandchronicles.substack.com/p/bloomberg-the-peace-deal-with-russia

Russia must have broad agreement with the USA, UK, Israel about what are the acceptable targets in Ukraine. There must be some reciprocity from Ukraine.

The assassinations that you reported on must have been within the limits, if not tacitly approved by the FSB. How come that they were able to find out the assassin and the probable timeline within a few hours. An analysis from scratch requires days ! Similarly industrial infrastructure is off-limits. Electrical substations were not until someone, USA or Israel, intervened; Russia must have received something in exchange though outsiders do not know.

The not-war is obviously managed. I surmise that Russia does not mobilise a second time because it hopes that changes in the USA and Israel will enable negotiations where they can obtain a good deal. Israel has a serious war in Gaza that is destabilising enough for them. USA has more fights than it can handle: 1. Ukraine. 2. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. 3. Venezuela is preparing to attack Guyana and threatens American oil companies. 4. A poorly rigged presidential election may add internal destabilisation to the menu. All the while the USA must keep a significant deterrent in Taiwan.

Russia's position has strengthened in the past months and may continue strengthening. A second mobilisation would increase the pressure. The attack and capture of Harkov are a distinct possibility to push the balance in Russia's favour. The situation is better than you think, though the battlefield has nothing to do with this.

I have just read that a drone attack killed 3 American soldiers in Jordan. Attack by some mysterious group in Syria or Irak. The USA have more military engagements than they can handle. That makes peace in Ukraine more likely since they need to handle other conflicts.

Thanks for your honesty in the face of scumbags in ethnic pornographers payroll.

Please do not get yourself thrown in prison. If for no other reason (though there are other reasons) than that we "over here" will have no idea what the hell is going on "over there." Your influence is wider than what you perceive. Keep your head on your shoulders. It's really quite useless once it's off.

The world wide control agenda relating to control of Russia probably will be similar to the current control of countries like Germany, UK, Canada, France etc. Each situation is unique but with the same ultimate domination of financial, legal, health, education and media systems. And this control will be constantly changing responding to threats that will be monitored in ways that I am not even aware of. It seems obvious that very sophisticated systems are in place and extremely powerful "directed energy weapons" have been used already. Russia is already suffering under outside influence, as is every other country. If there are valuable resources involved, there is more money available to "grease the skids". The large amount of firearms in the hands of the common person in the US requires a different control strategy than would be used in the UK. The game will go on forever most probably, with newly invented or reoccurring threats implemented on top of each other, over and over again. Controlling the narrative directs what people talk about, fear and act upon, problem, reaction, solution. We all know this, but most choose to ignore reality.

Hmmmm...do people associated with the Kremlin and the ethnic overlords who control 58.6% of Russian wealth have interests in concrete production in Ukraine? Do they expect to control even more when the management and dismemberment of Ukraine proceeds as top political figures in Russia, including the chief spy, say that it will? There's no point in occupying the ground until the deals have been agreed. After that resistance will melt away.

A good point

Didn't the US government pay compensation to US multinational companies they bombed in Germany in WW2? I feel like James Corbett covered this somewhere.

Good (as in useful) post. Tsarev's latest comment is yet more evidence that everything we see "unfolding" on the world stage needs reframing... and reframing again.

Simplicius posted an excellent article yesterday.

https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-12824-us-troops-suffer-fatalities?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1351274&post_id=141137862&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=1meuaq&utm_medium=email

In addition to pointing out how the USA suddenly finds itself in losing situations around the world, from Ukraine to Yemen, to Syria and Jordan, with the danger of losing access to the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, and even at home, he gives a reference to an earlier article which covers the American invasion of Iraq (in contempt). He points out how dependent the American 'success' was on bribing all the Iraqi senior officers, and how against even the lightest opposition the Americans could scarcely advance and a lot of their vehicles broke down and how scared they were of running out of food. For the subsequent actual fighting with guerrillas The Americans relied very heavily on local mercenaries to absorb casualties.

This is relevant to Ukraine . When Ukrainian ability and willingness to fight has been much reduced - my guess is it will take another year - senior Ukrainian officers, officials and politicians will be very receptive to Russian bribes to give up. Simplicius I think it was, or Larry Johnson, pointed out that the Russians seem to have discovered how to circumvent the American close range anti-missile system that was supposed to protect the Patriot batteries and the bases in Syria and Jordan, and have passed the information to the Arab militias, equipped with old Iranian missiles, to test them.

One of the advantages Russia has gained by going slowly in Ukraine is learning how to overcome all these American weapons, and that none of them are very good, and to have humiliated them in the eyes of the world, reducing their ability to sell over-priced weapons to those who are not already their vassals, as well as showing that they can't make enough munitions to sustain serious combat for long. Russia wouldn't have got that had they heavy- handedly smashed Ukraine in a few weeks.

It is also amusing to note that the Iranians have further demonstrated the obsolescence of those huge and hugely expensive American aircraft carriers by launching a cheap long range drone and missile carrier.

Simplicius includes a video by one of the Azov officers saying that the West is useless because it no longer has fighting-men. He also includes a video of the panic of American officers when their Iraqi base was hit by Iran missiles after Trump authorised the murder of Solomeini. They don't mention that the Iranians gave 5 hours notice of the attack and they still ran around in a panic - and then were given medals for their purple panic. They don't mention that the Iranians avoided hitting bunkers where the Americans were likely to be. I remember that when this was discussed on Saker's blog somone who may have had ties with Iranian Intelligence pointed out that they had very precisely hit an example of each type of infrastructural asset on the base, apart from the bunkers, which they could easily have destroyed. Next time they may be less kind as the Americans don't seem to have understood the message.

Simplicius also gives references to Ukrainian mystics who predicted the war and subsequent dismemberment of Ukraine.

Although Russian or Chinese fingerprints will not be found on the scene, it is curious that just at this time, it is not Russia but the USA which suddenly appears to be on the verge of another civil war. An 1850's feeling seems to be growing there. That'll really take attention away from Ukraine and disrupt plans to attack China.

Larry Johnson? As in smoothy? He often chats with that polish chick who believed Progo's SMO inside the SMO was some massive 5d move and to do with God. You trust him as a solid source when he's also mates with Duran and probably Scott Ritter.
