Not totally sold that Wagner took Soledar, Bakhmuts etc via meat storm. For a meat storm to really work the stormers need a respectable advantage in manpower and I don't think that's ever been the case for the Russian side ever. If anything Wagner had parity with the Ukrainians in the best cases and was often outnumbered. This would of course apply to MoD units as well wherever they are on the line.
Whats made Wagner more successful imo is just that unlike MoD they are a decently run organisation from top to bottom. For example when Wagner actually has enough artillery ammo their stormaviki can call for support directly with no middle men. MoD have no encrypted comms at all as a rule and often just no comms what so ever between units bigger than platoons. Wagner does have comms. Utkin, Lotus, and even Prigozhin himself seem to well respected with in Wagner. If they had the reputation for being merciless butchers of their own men would that be the case?
Theres no doubt at all Wagners casualties are high and if you are a stormaviki you have a pretty good chance of being maimed or killed before your contract is up. But thats because you will be expected to defeat opponents who outnumber and gun you who are fighting defense in urban terrian. That is there isnt anything especially impressive about zerg rush meat assault victories, but Wagners achievements actually are fairly impressive considering the odds stacked against them. And again this is a tribute to Wagner just having fairly competent leadership from top to bottom whereas with MoD units the competent leadership is absent above the company level in most cases.
I doubt that Prigozhin caused 120k ukrainian deaths. How would that be possible? But, if he did indeed kill that many, then there is no way that he lost only 20k KIA.
As for Wagner's reputation, idk about that. But if he only got 10% of his supplies, the only way to finish the taking of Bakhmut would be to throw bodies at the enemy no?
Also, Strelkov and Gubarev seem convinced about the meat wave tactics.
I hope they are wrong. I think that it isn't zerg rushes, but rushes designed to draw fire and then to open up on the enemy with counter-fire.
i doubt anyone can accuratly state how many men are killed or wounded on the enemy side. 120k death, no way. 120k death and wounded...maybe. If there were 120k ukrainian deaths there would have been an outrage by the Ukrainian population. Both sides now realise they cannot win. and attacking is almost a death sentence with swarms of drones dropping bombs on you in open fields or GPS guided artillery rounds wiping out whole squads in an instant. This war will break both sides eventually as its unsustainable. The only question is it by design to reduce the population or another sinister agenda at play here? Because if you are honest its better to just drop a nuke on Kiev and be done with it then suffer millions of casualties and wreck your country for a little bit of ground.
I assume Prigozhin is telling the truth more or less about Wagners losses and exaggerating how many Ukrainians they killed by a ridiculous margin. My guess is around 20-25 kia for Wagner and 35-40 for the Ukrainians.
Wagner coming out a little ahead there is because at Soledar they did pull off an encirclement and while they didn't at Bakhmut the Ukrainians still couldn't evacuate their wounded during the last month and where losing lots of guys just on the drive into city.
I mean if Wagner lost 20-25, which I think is realistic thats still huge for an organisation thats only got around 50-60k guys in it at any one time isn't it? For the Strelkov meat storm to be true than either Wagner killed way, way less Ukrainians like only 5-10k and correspondingly lost 20-25 or the Ukrainians were telling the truth about a 10-1 loss ratio and Wagner actually is or was a much bigger organisation that could lose like 70k to begin with.
Every day it feels more and more like the real war is between Russian oligarchic factions. The US doesn't even care anymore and are just hoping this wraps up on a high note before elections.
I like your analysis, as usual, except for where you hint at "The Jews" as being in control. The psychopaths who run the world aren't racially or culturally homogeneous. Jews may be overrepresented in the group simply because they're better at establishing and maintaining intergenerational wealth, and wealth offers more opportunities for psychopathic and sociopathic behavior, but to ignore the fact that many of the Bilderbergers and similar groups are not Jewish, and to lump in the overwhelming majority of Jews who are good people, minding their own business, is intellectually lazy. Please find a better term. And I don't mean "YKWs" or other snide synonyms. I like Mathew Crawford's term, Kunlangeta.
Also, I don't know why you think I was hinting at "the Jews". I ban all antisemites here on sight. It is actually the Vatican Black Nobility Reptilian Socialists who run things, of course.
He says Jews are convenient scapegoats for the real controllers who do not have any public profile. They do not need excessive wealth because they use theiroccult/psychic powers to get others to do what they want.
They are not into the orgiastic bloodletting etc on a personal level. Their goals are psychic power and communion with their imagined benefactors.
They are rather more likely to be like a retired country gent pruning his roses.
Many people, both Jews and non-Jews, react reflexively whenever a writer suggests that a Tribe is to fault in world politics. The term is usually used to refer to one of the Tribes of Israel. An article specifically and only about the Vatican Black Nobility Reptilian Socialists would be read closely by many. You could become as famous as David Ickes, Riley. Give it some thought and maybe turn it into a book. I have been slogging through Jung's RED BOOK for months and not finding any other books that capture my attention.
I agree with your premises, in that I would exclude any esoteric cabbalistic teleological purpose, where they are trying to achieve world domination and enslave all the goys etc. If it were so, the shady conspiracy, how would they manage to pass down that purpose over the generations, without any of the scions spilling it out to the outer world, or simply, given them being fantastically rich, being sated, wanting an easy life, and not caring for "The Cause" enough to further it down the line?
But it's also true that the very thing you mention, basically their pro-ethnic nepotism, has allowed them to dominate the financial industry (hence controlling all other industries) and the media/entertainment complex (hence controlling people's inner desires and the zeitgeist with its goalposts). These are facts https://odysee.com/@wayoftheworld:7/shockingfacts:0
Outside of America and Israel, in European countries and English colonies, the higher the peg you look at on the social ladder, the more of them you meet. A tightly knitted nepotist group that relentlessly works to provide favours and advantages to its members, at a scale that is international (see for instance in post-Soviet Russia, Oligarchs were able to privatize Soviet heavy industry and resources for themselves, because they leveraged loans received by fellow co-ethnics in America and the West). That is highly subversive and wrong in itself, because it steers society not towards the common good, but just towards their very own.
Then there is the fact that you can not even notice all this, lest you will incur in complete exclusion, disgrace and ostracization from society. How come? Highly, highly suspect.
Very well said, sir. An evil "Jewish conspiracy" passed down over unending generations does not hold water, whereas the community of interests and group cohesion (with marked racist hues, I would add), along with the power (basically, money and media), ability and drive to preserve the status quo, makes all the sense in the world and explains virtually everything.
I don't know the percentage of Jews in the upper echelons of finance and entertainment. It wouldn't surprise me if it's high. What irks me most is conflating the millions of honest, hardworking Jews, who have no interest in controlling others, in with these high-level manipulators, by saying "the Jews", the "YKWs", or other nod-and-wink euphemisms. Same goes for those who say "the Muslims" implying they're all terrorists or potentially so given the opportunity.
You cant make this shit up, if this is how the Russian government repays you after you just won one of the bloodiest battles since ww2 on par with Stalingrad then Russian soldiers will rebel sooner or later. We know the Russian army cant get shit done because the leaders are morally bankrupt,drunk and criminal. Men follow officers and leaders who are down to earth and like themselves who give and feel.with their men. Not some short asiatic Turk mongol who stole millions of rubbles. Who wants to fight and die for that? They are not even being allowed to be nationalistic, like the chechens who just spit in Russias face, claiming their honor was damaged yet during the battle of Mariupol they were just 2nd line Infantry and rear guard troops while the storming and dying was done by
white Russian marines and Dpr regiments. The whole world now sees the corruption and incompetence of the Russian elite and generals. Even Russia itself has now been invaded, a nucleair power mind you. The west knows how to beat the Russians. While Moscow has now clue.
I think they behave like the decadent roman empire who's borders are now invaded by Germanic barbarians. The emperor and his elite are living the good lives caring little for their far away borders. Well we all know how that will end.
Mostly to the outsider. If I was on the ground with leadership such as this fragging would be the first thing on my mind as I open my eyes each and every day and listened to the political bullshit out pacing the Russian artillery.
I read that the reason there is nobody on the border, anywhere like in Belograd, is that Russians are forbidden to own firearms, and ergo there is no fucking MILITIA
FUCK the first thing that Zelensky did is hand out AK-47's like candy to anybody
...
Just like USA its fairly clear that the ELITE of Moscow hate their people and vice-versa
Prigozhin is RIGHT on, today is time for Tsar Revolution 2.0, time to burn down the elite homes of west moscow, time for once again sadly that a New Bolshevism from the west arises where the common people kill the elite; Problem of course is the BOlshevists are the same damn UK bankers that own the elite, ,so they just take back what was given kill them and start Stalilnism all over again;
Where the fuck are the strong hard-liners?
Who is going to give guns to the people on the Russian border? Obviously the elite know that those weapons would be used to 'occupy' the bankers homes of the elite;
...
USA has the same fucking problems, just that they got the citizens living on the street, high on fentanyl, so nothing to fear;
...
Well look at the USA, all the US-MIL is now 100% homo
Prigozhin say's that the UKRO-NAZI MIL is the finest fighting machine on earth; Let's see if they tell uncle Schmuel in USA to fuck-off; Seems like they'll go full Nazi
Do they had East first or West? Do they expand by building a new UKRO-NATO? Do they pivot to Hungry or Poland?? Who can they trust?
Certainly everybody knows you cannot trust the USA or UK, stabbed in back everytime;
...
All that's clear in the short time is that MOSCOW ELITE better get the fuck out of Russia and quick, cuz Tsar Purge 2.0 is here;
On the subject of GUNS I always go back to FIRST principal of CLAUSWITZ on the subject of War HE WROTE the FUCKING BOOK;
...
Clauswitz said in the first chapter of his classic "On War"
That ..
"The goal of war is to DIS-ARM the Enemy"
Simple as that, not to kill them, not to rob them but to dis-arm them.
Once they are dis-armed, you may ass fuck them, rob them, steal their women, and cripple their children and not FUCK all can they do about it;
So MY rule, is this. When anybody trying to DIS-ARM you, that is an act of War.
Say that a 1,000 times in your minds, that when somebody tells you that you can't have guns&ammo that he/she has declared War on you, which means you must kill them.
So by FIRST-Principal UKRAINE is a "Free State" with "Free People"
Russian's are captive slaves to their master;
Which is WHY Russia has to hire MERC's to fight its wars.
...
Think about V-for-Vendetta (the movie)
"A people should not fear their government, the government should fear the people"
In Russia the people are just stray-dogs fed by the elite kennel owners;
USA is really no different, to have a gun in USA requires you have MONEY, sure a black-market exist but so does it exist in Russia and everywhere else; But even in the black market, you must have money to buy a gun;
Besides its fairly easy to make a 'gun' and even make 'ammo', these days the PCP air-gun are so powerful that they can go through a brick-wall; All this stuff is easy to make; Most Russians are pretty good at working with metal; ( PCP - Air Rifle/Pistol 3500PSI - 100BAR ); I just mention PCP because like 'drones' the new technology is actually cheaper and more accurate, besides the modern air rifle is silent;
Even a spring-powered airgun can be deadly. It's almost as quiet as a PCP. The airgun would only be effective for sniping. You would stand no chance in an open fight against anyone with a conventional gun. And it would be a simple matter for airguns to be banned.
Lot's of people today make pistols from 'stage prop handguns' Turkey makes a ton, farily easy to source, and easy to convert to real working handgun; the 'blanks' can easily be converted to shoot lead (8mm bearings) rather than a wad; The barrels are easy to remove the plug. Some people even convert the 9mm to shoot 380, but generally the metal containing zinc, its better to just use the blanks as they're designed to be shot with these stage-guns; Besides if you can get '380' then you must likely can get a real gun;
Obviously you don't make air-guns and know how simple they are to make;
Like I said DIY, make your own guns, ammo; IMHO today the air-gun is most easy to fabricate, and doesn't require chemicals complexity of making your own rounds; Which is really hard to make primers from scratch and all that bullshit required (brass casings from scratch);
Tactically you don't fight in the open, you have to fight guerrilla style, snipe & run;
If a pellet can go through brick wall, think what it can do to a man's skull;
Like Drones, easily made, and easy to make 'THERMITE" and let them loose;
If you don't know who to make drones & firearms, you better have the materials before they're banned;
If you haven't already built a 5kg capable lift drone (FROM SCRATCH), and learned to fly and program it for 'missions' then you better learn, they skills today put you into a position of 'parity' over GOV, as shown recently near Moscow where +31 drones were deployed at once, and most got through;
...
They even have 50cal air-guns now, that can take down a moose; People are making them from scratch (HUNKS of metal carved with a lathe); If you don't have skill, please don't tell others it can't be done; Lots of people will expend more energy telling other people why something can't be done, rather than just doing it;
High Power air guns are more accurate that gun-powder old-school weapons.
If you let the government "BAN" stop you from doing something, then by definition your are a CUCK;
Talking about PCP air-rifles&pistols with 3500PSI /100bar cylinders ( small carbon-fiber scuba tanks)
...
Making a 'gun' is easy enough, lots of info on how to make a machine-gun, or pistol, or rifle; Problem is ammo; Fabricating a modern brass round say 308 from scratch 100% is huge task (brass forming, lead-jacketing, smoke-less powders, primers, primer chemcials; Black-Powder works, but single-shot tactically has problems, but once upon a time it ruled;
...
Strategically you need to have a gun, to get 'more guns', once you have the enemy's guns&ammo, then the world is your super-market;
I think the problem with the Russian leadership is that they are secretly admiring the west. They wear their clothes,use their iphones and drive teslas. If shit hits the fan all these Rich Russian rulers and olicharchs will just flee to the west or to some other country with their stolen millions and assets. Remember Putin said he is still open to talks for some settlement on Ukraine. The way i see it the average Russian is starting to wake up. I honestly think Russians dont have a stomach to fight for this corrupt elite. Because A there is no nationalism like in Ukraine and B i think the average Russian knows their leaders are rotten and decedant.
There is far more than meets the eye going on in Russia. I don't pretend to understand any of it politically but Russia is carrying on at home in the same new world order fashion as every other western nation without ESG and the homosexual push.
Not so sure just a while back there was that punk band "PUSSY RIOT" I suspect a lot of that LGBTQxyz shit is underground but this is exactly the kind of shit that makes so many native Russians into terrorists that would gladly bomb their own country;
Another point quite often missed is RIGHT-Wing people will dismiss the left as 'weak', but note like are lesbian dyke bitches in USA dressing up like men, and shooting up churches with M16's(ar15), the left is every bit as insane as right, if not more so; If you bother to study the 1932-33 30M murder of Ukraine by the bolsheviks you will see that the #1 hobby was ripping people's guts out while they were alive;
...
I always hear about these 'hard-liners' in Russia that are mad as hell about the western-shit, the fact is PUTIN is LGTBQxyz lite, sort of keeps in the middle of the road;Truth as you all know is that PUTIN is an oligarch has billions of USD, and 1/2 dozen if not more +$100M mansions that he can run to like GORBY when the time comes.
Like USA they say the hard-liners have guns they'll take their country back, like fuck they will. Look at J6 1,000's rotting in prison being ass-raped by jungle-apes in DC jails, just like Guantanamo;
...
The UK bankers created Nazism&Bolshevism, they still control the Banks of CHINA&RUSSIA; Every fucking thing we discuss is a fucking circus act;
In all cases if you play along with their game, they let you be an Oligarch. Whether you be Obama, Clinton, Biden, Putin, Medeved, Bush, Zelensky, Xi you play your part you live, and live well;
99.9% of the earth is ran by elite wealth, and all elite bank with Rothschild as agents; Been this way since 1700's UK banks ruling the world;
0.01% would be North-Korea&Syria which allegedly don't have rothschild banks running their country, but everybody else does;
All wars are banker wars
All banker are Rothschild
All Rothschild manage the 'trust funds' so that elite familys stay in power permanently, they plan out wars 2-4 generations into the future, and cause real-estate to collapse, buy-low/sell-high earn 20% ROI permanently since 1700's hey, it fucking works; I have met lots of trust-fund kids whose family hasn't worked since the 1800's.
I am not saying the west is better in this regard but Russia still has the same pro multicultural policies, and like Rolo said its just a powder keg. This recent Wagner vs Chechen in fighting is a clear example multiculturalism will never work. And no it is not your strenght as Putin and other western leaders claim lol.
Seems that first the talking-heads said "moscow drones" were a nothing-burger,
Then they denied Prigozhin dissing Putin, and the MOD
Now you got BS about Wagner going rogue
..
Wagner leaves bakhmut, and now they say that Ukraine has retaken, and MOD isn't doing shit;
That UKRO's are attacking Belograd and the governor is talking with UKRO-Nazi's, cuz MOD wasn't want to be involved??
Does any of this make sense at all??
...
OCCAM's Razor I say when PRIGOZHIN went full on the ELite and called their children to go to the funerals that all the ELITE have now decided that WAGNER is the enemy and NOT Zelensky;
Like I keep asking, never get an answer, who paid Wagners bill about $10 billion USD for the past 420 days of fighting&dying in bakhmut, hell with all the deaths there has to be widows fund money going out, ... some serious cash who is paying for this??
...
Yes, Kiev must be so confused, next thing we'll here is that Prigozhin shot himself 10x in the back of the head with a nailgun, calling it suicide;
The dark clown does it again, what an absolute banger. The ukrops will believe there is turmoil in russias ranks, and then the final chess play will be made.
I skimmed the article but will read fully later. Again, I'm finding this viewpoint incredibly intriguing because I see more clearly how they're using the unique characteristics of Russia and Russians to design Russia's capitulation in the current era. I would only caution the following. The machinations of those who truly instigate these wars and conflicts are like an octopus. Their tentacles spread far and wide gripping every aspect of a situation.
Additionally, as we've come to know in the U.S., everything is compartmentalized. One group doesn't know what another group does even within the same intelligence agency. Those participating become beholdened to their immediate superior via wealth in one form or another: material assets (insider trading; non-biddable, guaranteed contracts); power aggregation (promotions, better assignments, higher salary); freedom in one form or another (If sufficient evidence exists of crimes, as in Hunter Biden's case, they''re never charged.); etc.
Once "the system" is in place, it works very much like the old Italian-American Mafia except in those instances the uninitiated knew who the "Godfather" was. Today's Godfather ends with the nameless Vanguard Board of Directors.
In today's Globalist's system, people participating THINK they know the game, but they don't. They're peons, but of course, appealing to an individual's ego is the surest route to compliance. I would go so far as to say that people like Biden, Trump, Gates, Soros, Schwab, are, in truth, peons to a great extent. If "The Hidden Hand" interview is truthful (and I think it is), the true power players are never in the press nor ever seen in public. Hence, we might conclude the Rothschilds are peons.
The question of Jewry and Jews is inconsequential and a distraction. The Khazars adopted Judism undoubtedly because the religion most closely served their purposes.
"The origin of the word CAUC-ASIAN takes its root here. Contrary to popular belief, Caucasians and Whites are NOT the same people. Caucasians as the name signifies are the Asians that settled in the Caucasus Mountains whereas the “White” man, refers to the pure, White European bloodlines that were not intermixed with the Asiatics (whom later became known as Khazars, then Yids (Yiddish), then Ashkenazis/Sephardis and today they’re all just called “Jews”, which is wrong and refers to those who practice Judaism, nothing to do with the race of these Asiatic nomad rascals and deceivers).
The concept of the demiurge predates the abrahamics, it became interwoven with christianity. Does rolo think this is good or bad? What do you think about the Zeus = God theory? Pre-judaism jews practiced a different religion, based around the worship of an edomite storm god? Did it get mixed in with judaism?
it doesnt matter, Christianity came when at the time the white man appeared on the earth. Other races have been here much much longer before Adam was in the garden.
Staggeringly stupid no matter the "excuse" or "ploy". Soldiers on both sides of the exchange will have lost a great deal of trust and those who fight best have trust in their leadership. I'm not even completely clear on the relationship with Wagner and Russia but I do believe Prigozhin after serving in the military for 20 years. His charges have the ring of truth about them and the plausibility of jealously, recklessness, ignorance, spite and stupidity from the upper ranks of the Russian military who ultimately control the war by controlling the supply of goods to the front. Prigozhin has a big ego and his job demands a big ego and his men are in want of a big ego leading them. Russia is fortunate to have such a guy on the ground and his band of bandits doing what they seem to do best and I still think the truth is the greatest victim in Ukraine. Best of luck to the men of Wagner, they are in a tough position all the way around and I for one admire their achievements and believe their leader.
This gives a new meaning to the term "friendly fire." Sadly, a method deployed at times to say someone was accidentally eliminated. However, from time to time this supposed error might be intentional, especially if the victim is considered a troublemaker.
by 'non - Slav tribe' ? I don't want to be offensive. Let me emphasise my sin is ignorance if anything. But I've been of the opinion that Slav are the ones that will happily throw millions into the jaws of death... far more so than any other nation..
Am I wrong? Do you see yourselves as having more concern for human life or at least Slavic lives than other peoples?
Perhaps I've been misled by what (little) I've read of the horrific events of WWII.
I'll be happy to hear that you're more humane than others. I'm very hearts and flowers in my old age. Not heartland Russian perhaps but Belarus might be kinda 'close enough' ? - nine years ago, according to the timestamp, I got captured by this and it is still with me - to me it kinda has been Russia since then.... don't disabuse me if I'm totally wrong:
The whole thing with Slavs being enthusiastic meat stormers on par with East Asians is pretty much based around WW2 and that is a really huge knot to untangle. In the English language there is almost no counter narrative what so ever. In Russian there are more and more people questioning that assumption but ironically that meme was heavily promoted by Khrushchev to make Stalin look as bad as possible. If you arent adverse to sinking time into the torturous process of putting this through a translator which will do a bad job of turning this into English this page is pretty good for sort of correcting the meat storm WW2 meme:
(Not sure why the link is so crazy looking but its not porn or malware)
But yeah most of the USSRs ridiculously lopsided losses werent due to meat attacks but being encircled and beaten over and over in the first months of the war. Those defeats were actually just as much Zhukov and Temoshenkos fault as Stalins. The Red Armys total unpreparedness at the start of the war was Stalins fault in as much as he was head of State, but it's a total myth that he was caught by surprise or didnt let the Army get ready in time.
For example the Kremlin did tell the Army and border guards to move to war preparedness 24 hours before the Germans attacked, but the Army was not ready.. however the bordergaurds were. As a matter of fact in the open weeks of the war the Germans met the most organised resistance from the border troops, not the regular Army and the Army was reduced to using the border troops comms because the Armys werent functional at all.
Well the border troops were under Beria and Beria actually made sure the border troops were on a war footing when the orders came down. Zhukov and Timoshenko did not do the same for the Army. Zhukov did apparently pass on the orders but his subordinates did not follow them, and the negligence of General Pavlov who was in command of the Red Army district that was hit the hardest suggest he may well have been an outright traitor. His negligence got him shot at least.
If the border troops had been as unready as the Army its seriously possible the war would have been lost for the USSR. Now whats sort of relevant about all that is Zhukov sold his soul to an even worse devil than Stalin when he backed Khrushchevs palace coup, and though Zhukov was no outright traitor he did have an interest in washing his hands of the early months of the war which were such a catastrophe. Berias troops being ready to fight when the storm broke while the Army was in shambles made him look bad and who arrested Beria on Khrushchevs behalf? Zhukov.
But once the Red Army started to fight more intelligently their losses came closer and closer to parity with the Germans and their allies. Bagration which was a master piece campaign on the Soviet end saw them actually taking less casualties than the Germans. The Red Armys second campaign in Romania was likewise lopsided in the Red Armys favour casualty wise. In the campaign against Berlin the casualties were at almost parity which is very impressive when you consider the defensive belts the Russians had to fight through and than the urban storm.
It isnt that the Slavs like to get tons of their own guys killed on purpose its just that they have a habit of bungling the early phase of whatever war they are in. The same thing happened in the war against Finland where at 1st a bunch of guys were killed for no gains and belatedly the Red Army started fighting intelligently and casualties started to reach parity and the Finns asked for peace.
I just finished reading the google translate of it. Christ. An awful condemnation. An awful estimation of the state of things. Bad, bad, bad news if true.
When you are an ignorant learner like me you have to be prepared to believe anything you are told until you learn enough to turn back and start judging.
This essentially is not about the war itself, is it? It is about politics within the Russian state. And it connects war events with those, back and forth, talks of the connection.
So the document ends up saying two things or two 'kinds of things'.
1. The quality of the conduct of the war
2. The political forces behind it all.
As to 1. I cannot judge but I've been mystified along with many others for a long time by the conduct of it. In many respects. So he is saying that it has been conducted all wrong ( and the political forces are the reason).
So to answer your question: Yes, I can well imagine it has been conducted all wrong. But I can't make an opinion on why as yet. I don't know.
Now as to 2. I cannot judge, too ignorant, but I can well believe it possible. Political forces run our world without a doubt. Look at America. It is not run by the American people or for the American people is it? It is run by a bunch of greedy lunatics.
The contention seems to be that Russia is being manipulated into destruction by powerful very rich interests that see themselves as getting more powerful and richer if it were destroyed.
Internal interests.
Well yes, I can believe that could happen. The external interests that want it to happen are truly there, that's a fact. They shout it from the rooftops.
So after all these words of mine what am I saying in answer to your question?
I guess I'm saying, in the end, that yes, I can believe all he says is possible.
Strelkov/Girkin was tagging the frontal assaults on heavily fortified Ukie positions as suicidal over a year ago. Maybe he has been coopted into a modified narrative. The fates of people like Aleksey Mozgovoy, Alexander Bednov and Givi must have made an impression.
Either the Russians are the Keystone Cops of military strategy or it is by design.
Not totally sold that Wagner took Soledar, Bakhmuts etc via meat storm. For a meat storm to really work the stormers need a respectable advantage in manpower and I don't think that's ever been the case for the Russian side ever. If anything Wagner had parity with the Ukrainians in the best cases and was often outnumbered. This would of course apply to MoD units as well wherever they are on the line.
Whats made Wagner more successful imo is just that unlike MoD they are a decently run organisation from top to bottom. For example when Wagner actually has enough artillery ammo their stormaviki can call for support directly with no middle men. MoD have no encrypted comms at all as a rule and often just no comms what so ever between units bigger than platoons. Wagner does have comms. Utkin, Lotus, and even Prigozhin himself seem to well respected with in Wagner. If they had the reputation for being merciless butchers of their own men would that be the case?
Theres no doubt at all Wagners casualties are high and if you are a stormaviki you have a pretty good chance of being maimed or killed before your contract is up. But thats because you will be expected to defeat opponents who outnumber and gun you who are fighting defense in urban terrian. That is there isnt anything especially impressive about zerg rush meat assault victories, but Wagners achievements actually are fairly impressive considering the odds stacked against them. And again this is a tribute to Wagner just having fairly competent leadership from top to bottom whereas with MoD units the competent leadership is absent above the company level in most cases.
I doubt that Prigozhin caused 120k ukrainian deaths. How would that be possible? But, if he did indeed kill that many, then there is no way that he lost only 20k KIA.
As for Wagner's reputation, idk about that. But if he only got 10% of his supplies, the only way to finish the taking of Bakhmut would be to throw bodies at the enemy no?
Also, Strelkov and Gubarev seem convinced about the meat wave tactics.
I hope they are wrong. I think that it isn't zerg rushes, but rushes designed to draw fire and then to open up on the enemy with counter-fire.
i doubt anyone can accuratly state how many men are killed or wounded on the enemy side. 120k death, no way. 120k death and wounded...maybe. If there were 120k ukrainian deaths there would have been an outrage by the Ukrainian population. Both sides now realise they cannot win. and attacking is almost a death sentence with swarms of drones dropping bombs on you in open fields or GPS guided artillery rounds wiping out whole squads in an instant. This war will break both sides eventually as its unsustainable. The only question is it by design to reduce the population or another sinister agenda at play here? Because if you are honest its better to just drop a nuke on Kiev and be done with it then suffer millions of casualties and wreck your country for a little bit of ground.
I assume Prigozhin is telling the truth more or less about Wagners losses and exaggerating how many Ukrainians they killed by a ridiculous margin. My guess is around 20-25 kia for Wagner and 35-40 for the Ukrainians.
Wagner coming out a little ahead there is because at Soledar they did pull off an encirclement and while they didn't at Bakhmut the Ukrainians still couldn't evacuate their wounded during the last month and where losing lots of guys just on the drive into city.
I mean if Wagner lost 20-25, which I think is realistic thats still huge for an organisation thats only got around 50-60k guys in it at any one time isn't it? For the Strelkov meat storm to be true than either Wagner killed way, way less Ukrainians like only 5-10k and correspondingly lost 20-25 or the Ukrainians were telling the truth about a 10-1 loss ratio and Wagner actually is or was a much bigger organisation that could lose like 70k to begin with.
Every day it feels more and more like the real war is between Russian oligarchic factions. The US doesn't even care anymore and are just hoping this wraps up on a high note before elections.
A fake and gay war in a fake country, post-modern as fawk.
The USSA continues to launder money via the war and there is no intent or desire to end the war until Moscow is conquered.
I like your analysis, as usual, except for where you hint at "The Jews" as being in control. The psychopaths who run the world aren't racially or culturally homogeneous. Jews may be overrepresented in the group simply because they're better at establishing and maintaining intergenerational wealth, and wealth offers more opportunities for psychopathic and sociopathic behavior, but to ignore the fact that many of the Bilderbergers and similar groups are not Jewish, and to lump in the overwhelming majority of Jews who are good people, minding their own business, is intellectually lazy. Please find a better term. And I don't mean "YKWs" or other snide synonyms. I like Mathew Crawford's term, Kunlangeta.
I prefer the term "ethnic Bolshevik".
Also, I don't know why you think I was hinting at "the Jews". I ban all antisemites here on sight. It is actually the Vatican Black Nobility Reptilian Socialists who run things, of course.
It's the Jesuits bro... le happy conversos
If you have time, check out Kert Barker's books:
https://libgen.rs/search.php?req=kerth+barker&open=0&res=25&view=simple&phrase=1&column=author
He says Jews are convenient scapegoats for the real controllers who do not have any public profile. They do not need excessive wealth because they use theiroccult/psychic powers to get others to do what they want.
They are not into the orgiastic bloodletting etc on a personal level. Their goals are psychic power and communion with their imagined benefactors.
They are rather more likely to be like a retired country gent pruning his roses.
It is just a coincidence that all the visible controllers have Jewish last names as I keep trying to explain to the vicious anti-semites.
Yes, just a cohencidence !
Crikey, speak of the Devil! - And He will appear!

She says I've got some pretty shocking imagery....
Many people, both Jews and non-Jews, react reflexively whenever a writer suggests that a Tribe is to fault in world politics. The term is usually used to refer to one of the Tribes of Israel. An article specifically and only about the Vatican Black Nobility Reptilian Socialists would be read closely by many. You could become as famous as David Ickes, Riley. Give it some thought and maybe turn it into a book. I have been slogging through Jung's RED BOOK for months and not finding any other books that capture my attention.
OK. I was basing my interpretation on other things you have written lately. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

I agree with your premises, in that I would exclude any esoteric cabbalistic teleological purpose, where they are trying to achieve world domination and enslave all the goys etc. If it were so, the shady conspiracy, how would they manage to pass down that purpose over the generations, without any of the scions spilling it out to the outer world, or simply, given them being fantastically rich, being sated, wanting an easy life, and not caring for "The Cause" enough to further it down the line?
But it's also true that the very thing you mention, basically their pro-ethnic nepotism, has allowed them to dominate the financial industry (hence controlling all other industries) and the media/entertainment complex (hence controlling people's inner desires and the zeitgeist with its goalposts). These are facts https://odysee.com/@wayoftheworld:7/shockingfacts:0
Outside of America and Israel, in European countries and English colonies, the higher the peg you look at on the social ladder, the more of them you meet. A tightly knitted nepotist group that relentlessly works to provide favours and advantages to its members, at a scale that is international (see for instance in post-Soviet Russia, Oligarchs were able to privatize Soviet heavy industry and resources for themselves, because they leveraged loans received by fellow co-ethnics in America and the West). That is highly subversive and wrong in itself, because it steers society not towards the common good, but just towards their very own.
Then there is the fact that you can not even notice all this, lest you will incur in complete exclusion, disgrace and ostracization from society. How come? Highly, highly suspect.
And it's been like this for a long while https://www.unz.com/article/degas-and-the-jews/
Very well said, sir. An evil "Jewish conspiracy" passed down over unending generations does not hold water, whereas the community of interests and group cohesion (with marked racist hues, I would add), along with the power (basically, money and media), ability and drive to preserve the status quo, makes all the sense in the world and explains virtually everything.
These racists do not like europeans very much...
I don't know the percentage of Jews in the upper echelons of finance and entertainment. It wouldn't surprise me if it's high. What irks me most is conflating the millions of honest, hardworking Jews, who have no interest in controlling others, in with these high-level manipulators, by saying "the Jews", the "YKWs", or other nod-and-wink euphemisms. Same goes for those who say "the Muslims" implying they're all terrorists or potentially so given the opportunity.
You cant make this shit up, if this is how the Russian government repays you after you just won one of the bloodiest battles since ww2 on par with Stalingrad then Russian soldiers will rebel sooner or later. We know the Russian army cant get shit done because the leaders are morally bankrupt,drunk and criminal. Men follow officers and leaders who are down to earth and like themselves who give and feel.with their men. Not some short asiatic Turk mongol who stole millions of rubbles. Who wants to fight and die for that? They are not even being allowed to be nationalistic, like the chechens who just spit in Russias face, claiming their honor was damaged yet during the battle of Mariupol they were just 2nd line Infantry and rear guard troops while the storming and dying was done by
white Russian marines and Dpr regiments. The whole world now sees the corruption and incompetence of the Russian elite and generals. Even Russia itself has now been invaded, a nucleair power mind you. The west knows how to beat the Russians. While Moscow has now clue.
the Russian government behaves like a Bond villain criminal organization. Even the way they are comically incompetent.
I think they behave like the decadent roman empire who's borders are now invaded by Germanic barbarians. The emperor and his elite are living the good lives caring little for their far away borders. Well we all know how that will end.
I think you've loosely described the west as a whole. :-)
The invaders are invited this time round
But all that "decadence" in just about a year sets the new Guiness record...
The last one belonged to the fall of the Soviet Union.
Putin is taking the crown from Gorby...
Quote: comically incompetent. :-)
Mostly to the outsider. If I was on the ground with leadership such as this fragging would be the first thing on my mind as I open my eyes each and every day and listened to the political bullshit out pacing the Russian artillery.
Thanks
I read that the reason there is nobody on the border, anywhere like in Belograd, is that Russians are forbidden to own firearms, and ergo there is no fucking MILITIA
FUCK the first thing that Zelensky did is hand out AK-47's like candy to anybody
...
Just like USA its fairly clear that the ELITE of Moscow hate their people and vice-versa
Prigozhin is RIGHT on, today is time for Tsar Revolution 2.0, time to burn down the elite homes of west moscow, time for once again sadly that a New Bolshevism from the west arises where the common people kill the elite; Problem of course is the BOlshevists are the same damn UK bankers that own the elite, ,so they just take back what was given kill them and start Stalilnism all over again;
Where the fuck are the strong hard-liners?
Who is going to give guns to the people on the Russian border? Obviously the elite know that those weapons would be used to 'occupy' the bankers homes of the elite;
...
USA has the same fucking problems, just that they got the citizens living on the street, high on fentanyl, so nothing to fear;
...
Well look at the USA, all the US-MIL is now 100% homo
Prigozhin say's that the UKRO-NAZI MIL is the finest fighting machine on earth; Let's see if they tell uncle Schmuel in USA to fuck-off; Seems like they'll go full Nazi
Do they had East first or West? Do they expand by building a new UKRO-NATO? Do they pivot to Hungry or Poland?? Who can they trust?
Certainly everybody knows you cannot trust the USA or UK, stabbed in back everytime;
...
All that's clear in the short time is that MOSCOW ELITE better get the fuck out of Russia and quick, cuz Tsar Purge 2.0 is here;
Yes, the Kremlin forbids the formation of a Belogorod militia. Even now. It is insane.
On the subject of GUNS I always go back to FIRST principal of CLAUSWITZ on the subject of War HE WROTE the FUCKING BOOK;
...
Clauswitz said in the first chapter of his classic "On War"
That ..
"The goal of war is to DIS-ARM the Enemy"
Simple as that, not to kill them, not to rob them but to dis-arm them.
Once they are dis-armed, you may ass fuck them, rob them, steal their women, and cripple their children and not FUCK all can they do about it;
So MY rule, is this. When anybody trying to DIS-ARM you, that is an act of War.
Say that a 1,000 times in your minds, that when somebody tells you that you can't have guns&ammo that he/she has declared War on you, which means you must kill them.
So by FIRST-Principal UKRAINE is a "Free State" with "Free People"
Russian's are captive slaves to their master;
Which is WHY Russia has to hire MERC's to fight its wars.
...
Think about V-for-Vendetta (the movie)
"A people should not fear their government, the government should fear the people"
In Russia the people are just stray-dogs fed by the elite kennel owners;
USA is really no different, to have a gun in USA requires you have MONEY, sure a black-market exist but so does it exist in Russia and everywhere else; But even in the black market, you must have money to buy a gun;
Besides its fairly easy to make a 'gun' and even make 'ammo', these days the PCP air-gun are so powerful that they can go through a brick-wall; All this stuff is easy to make; Most Russians are pretty good at working with metal; ( PCP - Air Rifle/Pistol 3500PSI - 100BAR ); I just mention PCP because like 'drones' the new technology is actually cheaper and more accurate, besides the modern air rifle is silent;
Even a spring-powered airgun can be deadly. It's almost as quiet as a PCP. The airgun would only be effective for sniping. You would stand no chance in an open fight against anyone with a conventional gun. And it would be a simple matter for airguns to be banned.
The topic is 'field expedient firearms" google it
Lot's of people today make pistols from 'stage prop handguns' Turkey makes a ton, farily easy to source, and easy to convert to real working handgun; the 'blanks' can easily be converted to shoot lead (8mm bearings) rather than a wad; The barrels are easy to remove the plug. Some people even convert the 9mm to shoot 380, but generally the metal containing zinc, its better to just use the blanks as they're designed to be shot with these stage-guns; Besides if you can get '380' then you must likely can get a real gun;
Obviously you don't make air-guns and know how simple they are to make;
Like I said DIY, make your own guns, ammo; IMHO today the air-gun is most easy to fabricate, and doesn't require chemicals complexity of making your own rounds; Which is really hard to make primers from scratch and all that bullshit required (brass casings from scratch);
Tactically you don't fight in the open, you have to fight guerrilla style, snipe & run;
If a pellet can go through brick wall, think what it can do to a man's skull;
Like Drones, easily made, and easy to make 'THERMITE" and let them loose;
If you don't know who to make drones & firearms, you better have the materials before they're banned;
If you haven't already built a 5kg capable lift drone (FROM SCRATCH), and learned to fly and program it for 'missions' then you better learn, they skills today put you into a position of 'parity' over GOV, as shown recently near Moscow where +31 drones were deployed at once, and most got through;
...
They even have 50cal air-guns now, that can take down a moose; People are making them from scratch (HUNKS of metal carved with a lathe); If you don't have skill, please don't tell others it can't be done; Lots of people will expend more energy telling other people why something can't be done, rather than just doing it;
High Power air guns are more accurate that gun-powder old-school weapons.
If you let the government "BAN" stop you from doing something, then by definition your are a CUCK;
Not talking about spring compressed bb-guns
Talking about PCP air-rifles&pistols with 3500PSI /100bar cylinders ( small carbon-fiber scuba tanks)
...
Making a 'gun' is easy enough, lots of info on how to make a machine-gun, or pistol, or rifle; Problem is ammo; Fabricating a modern brass round say 308 from scratch 100% is huge task (brass forming, lead-jacketing, smoke-less powders, primers, primer chemcials; Black-Powder works, but single-shot tactically has problems, but once upon a time it ruled;
...
Strategically you need to have a gun, to get 'more guns', once you have the enemy's guns&ammo, then the world is your super-market;
Amen
Tyrants fear their own people
I think the problem with the Russian leadership is that they are secretly admiring the west. They wear their clothes,use their iphones and drive teslas. If shit hits the fan all these Rich Russian rulers and olicharchs will just flee to the west or to some other country with their stolen millions and assets. Remember Putin said he is still open to talks for some settlement on Ukraine. The way i see it the average Russian is starting to wake up. I honestly think Russians dont have a stomach to fight for this corrupt elite. Because A there is no nationalism like in Ukraine and B i think the average Russian knows their leaders are rotten and decedant.
There is far more than meets the eye going on in Russia. I don't pretend to understand any of it politically but Russia is carrying on at home in the same new world order fashion as every other western nation without ESG and the homosexual push.
Not so sure just a while back there was that punk band "PUSSY RIOT" I suspect a lot of that LGBTQxyz shit is underground but this is exactly the kind of shit that makes so many native Russians into terrorists that would gladly bomb their own country;
Another point quite often missed is RIGHT-Wing people will dismiss the left as 'weak', but note like are lesbian dyke bitches in USA dressing up like men, and shooting up churches with M16's(ar15), the left is every bit as insane as right, if not more so; If you bother to study the 1932-33 30M murder of Ukraine by the bolsheviks you will see that the #1 hobby was ripping people's guts out while they were alive;
...
I always hear about these 'hard-liners' in Russia that are mad as hell about the western-shit, the fact is PUTIN is LGTBQxyz lite, sort of keeps in the middle of the road;Truth as you all know is that PUTIN is an oligarch has billions of USD, and 1/2 dozen if not more +$100M mansions that he can run to like GORBY when the time comes.
Like USA they say the hard-liners have guns they'll take their country back, like fuck they will. Look at J6 1,000's rotting in prison being ass-raped by jungle-apes in DC jails, just like Guantanamo;
...
The UK bankers created Nazism&Bolshevism, they still control the Banks of CHINA&RUSSIA; Every fucking thing we discuss is a fucking circus act;
In all cases if you play along with their game, they let you be an Oligarch. Whether you be Obama, Clinton, Biden, Putin, Medeved, Bush, Zelensky, Xi you play your part you live, and live well;
99.9% of the earth is ran by elite wealth, and all elite bank with Rothschild as agents; Been this way since 1700's UK banks ruling the world;
0.01% would be North-Korea&Syria which allegedly don't have rothschild banks running their country, but everybody else does;
All wars are banker wars
All banker are Rothschild
All Rothschild manage the 'trust funds' so that elite familys stay in power permanently, they plan out wars 2-4 generations into the future, and cause real-estate to collapse, buy-low/sell-high earn 20% ROI permanently since 1700's hey, it fucking works; I have met lots of trust-fund kids whose family hasn't worked since the 1800's.
At least they don't have drag queen story hour
I am not saying the west is better in this regard but Russia still has the same pro multicultural policies, and like Rolo said its just a powder keg. This recent Wagner vs Chechen in fighting is a clear example multiculturalism will never work. And no it is not your strenght as Putin and other western leaders claim lol.
DO you think much of this is true?
Seems that first the talking-heads said "moscow drones" were a nothing-burger,
Then they denied Prigozhin dissing Putin, and the MOD
Now you got BS about Wagner going rogue
..
Wagner leaves bakhmut, and now they say that Ukraine has retaken, and MOD isn't doing shit;
That UKRO's are attacking Belograd and the governor is talking with UKRO-Nazi's, cuz MOD wasn't want to be involved??
Does any of this make sense at all??
...
OCCAM's Razor I say when PRIGOZHIN went full on the ELite and called their children to go to the funerals that all the ELITE have now decided that WAGNER is the enemy and NOT Zelensky;
Like I keep asking, never get an answer, who paid Wagners bill about $10 billion USD for the past 420 days of fighting&dying in bakhmut, hell with all the deaths there has to be widows fund money going out, ... some serious cash who is paying for this??
...
Yes, Kiev must be so confused, next thing we'll here is that Prigozhin shot himself 10x in the back of the head with a nailgun, calling it suicide;
The dark clown does it again, what an absolute banger. The ukrops will believe there is turmoil in russias ranks, and then the final chess play will be made.
I skimmed the article but will read fully later. Again, I'm finding this viewpoint incredibly intriguing because I see more clearly how they're using the unique characteristics of Russia and Russians to design Russia's capitulation in the current era. I would only caution the following. The machinations of those who truly instigate these wars and conflicts are like an octopus. Their tentacles spread far and wide gripping every aspect of a situation.
Additionally, as we've come to know in the U.S., everything is compartmentalized. One group doesn't know what another group does even within the same intelligence agency. Those participating become beholdened to their immediate superior via wealth in one form or another: material assets (insider trading; non-biddable, guaranteed contracts); power aggregation (promotions, better assignments, higher salary); freedom in one form or another (If sufficient evidence exists of crimes, as in Hunter Biden's case, they''re never charged.); etc.
Once "the system" is in place, it works very much like the old Italian-American Mafia except in those instances the uninitiated knew who the "Godfather" was. Today's Godfather ends with the nameless Vanguard Board of Directors.
In today's Globalist's system, people participating THINK they know the game, but they don't. They're peons, but of course, appealing to an individual's ego is the surest route to compliance. I would go so far as to say that people like Biden, Trump, Gates, Soros, Schwab, are, in truth, peons to a great extent. If "The Hidden Hand" interview is truthful (and I think it is), the true power players are never in the press nor ever seen in public. Hence, we might conclude the Rothschilds are peons.
The question of Jewry and Jews is inconsequential and a distraction. The Khazars adopted Judism undoubtedly because the religion most closely served their purposes.
"The origin of the word CAUC-ASIAN takes its root here. Contrary to popular belief, Caucasians and Whites are NOT the same people. Caucasians as the name signifies are the Asians that settled in the Caucasus Mountains whereas the “White” man, refers to the pure, White European bloodlines that were not intermixed with the Asiatics (whom later became known as Khazars, then Yids (Yiddish), then Ashkenazis/Sephardis and today they’re all just called “Jews”, which is wrong and refers to those who practice Judaism, nothing to do with the race of these Asiatic nomad rascals and deceivers).
They called their new kingdom, Khazaria. The Khazars by then were a mixture of Huns, Mongols, Turks and Magyars." http://radiochristianity.com/the-history-of-the-khazars-part-one/
For those who question how the control remains intergenerational, I suggest the "The Hidden Hand Q & A" held years ago on the "Above Top Secret" forum. You may believe it or not. https://stillnessinthestorm.com/2017/01/dialogue-with-hidden-hand-self-proclaimed-illuminati-insider/

The concept of the demiurge predates the abrahamics, it became interwoven with christianity. Does rolo think this is good or bad? What do you think about the Zeus = God theory? Pre-judaism jews practiced a different religion, based around the worship of an edomite storm god? Did it get mixed in with judaism?
it doesnt matter, Christianity came when at the time the white man appeared on the earth. Other races have been here much much longer before Adam was in the garden.
Also the term white is an anglo supremacist invention... europeans labelling themselves white is hilarious.
Take ur meds
Putin sounds like a trump supporter... 'we are the real diversity enjoyers, it's the colonial white supremacist west who are the real nazis(tm)'
BOOM
Staggeringly stupid no matter the "excuse" or "ploy". Soldiers on both sides of the exchange will have lost a great deal of trust and those who fight best have trust in their leadership. I'm not even completely clear on the relationship with Wagner and Russia but I do believe Prigozhin after serving in the military for 20 years. His charges have the ring of truth about them and the plausibility of jealously, recklessness, ignorance, spite and stupidity from the upper ranks of the Russian military who ultimately control the war by controlling the supply of goods to the front. Prigozhin has a big ego and his job demands a big ego and his men are in want of a big ego leading them. Russia is fortunate to have such a guy on the ground and his band of bandits doing what they seem to do best and I still think the truth is the greatest victim in Ukraine. Best of luck to the men of Wagner, they are in a tough position all the way around and I for one admire their achievements and believe their leader.
This gives a new meaning to the term "friendly fire." Sadly, a method deployed at times to say someone was accidentally eliminated. However, from time to time this supposed error might be intentional, especially if the victim is considered a troublemaker.
by 'non - Slav tribe' ? I don't want to be offensive. Let me emphasise my sin is ignorance if anything. But I've been of the opinion that Slav are the ones that will happily throw millions into the jaws of death... far more so than any other nation..
Am I wrong? Do you see yourselves as having more concern for human life or at least Slavic lives than other peoples?
Perhaps I've been misled by what (little) I've read of the horrific events of WWII.
I'll be happy to hear that you're more humane than others. I'm very hearts and flowers in my old age. Not heartland Russian perhaps but Belarus might be kinda 'close enough' ? - nine years ago, according to the timestamp, I got captured by this and it is still with me - to me it kinda has been Russia since then.... don't disabuse me if I'm totally wrong:

The whole thing with Slavs being enthusiastic meat stormers on par with East Asians is pretty much based around WW2 and that is a really huge knot to untangle. In the English language there is almost no counter narrative what so ever. In Russian there are more and more people questioning that assumption but ironically that meme was heavily promoted by Khrushchev to make Stalin look as bad as possible. If you arent adverse to sinking time into the torturous process of putting this through a translator which will do a bad job of turning this into English this page is pretty good for sort of correcting the meat storm WW2 meme:
http://wiki.istmat.org/%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA:%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%BE_%D0%B1%D1%8B%D0%BB%D0%B8_%D0%BB%D0%B8_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8_%D1%87%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%BC%D0%B8
(Not sure why the link is so crazy looking but its not porn or malware)
But yeah most of the USSRs ridiculously lopsided losses werent due to meat attacks but being encircled and beaten over and over in the first months of the war. Those defeats were actually just as much Zhukov and Temoshenkos fault as Stalins. The Red Armys total unpreparedness at the start of the war was Stalins fault in as much as he was head of State, but it's a total myth that he was caught by surprise or didnt let the Army get ready in time.
For example the Kremlin did tell the Army and border guards to move to war preparedness 24 hours before the Germans attacked, but the Army was not ready.. however the bordergaurds were. As a matter of fact in the open weeks of the war the Germans met the most organised resistance from the border troops, not the regular Army and the Army was reduced to using the border troops comms because the Armys werent functional at all.
Well the border troops were under Beria and Beria actually made sure the border troops were on a war footing when the orders came down. Zhukov and Timoshenko did not do the same for the Army. Zhukov did apparently pass on the orders but his subordinates did not follow them, and the negligence of General Pavlov who was in command of the Red Army district that was hit the hardest suggest he may well have been an outright traitor. His negligence got him shot at least.
If the border troops had been as unready as the Army its seriously possible the war would have been lost for the USSR. Now whats sort of relevant about all that is Zhukov sold his soul to an even worse devil than Stalin when he backed Khrushchevs palace coup, and though Zhukov was no outright traitor he did have an interest in washing his hands of the early months of the war which were such a catastrophe. Berias troops being ready to fight when the storm broke while the Army was in shambles made him look bad and who arrested Beria on Khrushchevs behalf? Zhukov.
But once the Red Army started to fight more intelligently their losses came closer and closer to parity with the Germans and their allies. Bagration which was a master piece campaign on the Soviet end saw them actually taking less casualties than the Germans. The Red Armys second campaign in Romania was likewise lopsided in the Red Armys favour casualty wise. In the campaign against Berlin the casualties were at almost parity which is very impressive when you consider the defensive belts the Russians had to fight through and than the urban storm.
It isnt that the Slavs like to get tons of their own guys killed on purpose its just that they have a habit of bungling the early phase of whatever war they are in. The same thing happened in the war against Finland where at 1st a bunch of guys were killed for no gains and belatedly the Red Army started fighting intelligently and casualties started to reach parity and the Finns asked for peace.
Rolo, what do you think of this interpretation of the events? https://miguel-kud.livejournal.com/335630.html
I just finished reading the google translate of it. Christ. An awful condemnation. An awful estimation of the state of things. Bad, bad, bad news if true.
Do you find it possible?
When you are an ignorant learner like me you have to be prepared to believe anything you are told until you learn enough to turn back and start judging.
This essentially is not about the war itself, is it? It is about politics within the Russian state. And it connects war events with those, back and forth, talks of the connection.
So the document ends up saying two things or two 'kinds of things'.
1. The quality of the conduct of the war
2. The political forces behind it all.
As to 1. I cannot judge but I've been mystified along with many others for a long time by the conduct of it. In many respects. So he is saying that it has been conducted all wrong ( and the political forces are the reason).
So to answer your question: Yes, I can well imagine it has been conducted all wrong. But I can't make an opinion on why as yet. I don't know.
Now as to 2. I cannot judge, too ignorant, but I can well believe it possible. Political forces run our world without a doubt. Look at America. It is not run by the American people or for the American people is it? It is run by a bunch of greedy lunatics.
The contention seems to be that Russia is being manipulated into destruction by powerful very rich interests that see themselves as getting more powerful and richer if it were destroyed.
Internal interests.
Well yes, I can believe that could happen. The external interests that want it to happen are truly there, that's a fact. They shout it from the rooftops.
So after all these words of mine what am I saying in answer to your question?
I guess I'm saying, in the end, that yes, I can believe all he says is possible.
Strelkov/Girkin was tagging the frontal assaults on heavily fortified Ukie positions as suicidal over a year ago. Maybe he has been coopted into a modified narrative. The fates of people like Aleksey Mozgovoy, Alexander Bednov and Givi must have made an impression.
Either the Russians are the Keystone Cops of military strategy or it is by design.
Unbelievable. As in, 'totally believable.' LOL
