Hah, I double down on this sitrep with a piece of genius from the immortal himself (the intro is from a post on Locals where I saw this beauty):

Whatever is happening, whenever it's happening, wherever it's happening, Ukraine is always on the brink of collapse, Zelensky's always on the brink of receiving his walking-papers.

This stuff truly is "copium," in its purest sense. This isn't analysis but bad psychotherapy.

"And it’s true, the invasion is a black eye on Russia, to an extent—but it must be considered within the grander overall scope of the situation: things feel terminal for Ukraine; Zelensky is accelerating as if propelled by some unprecedentedly urgent impetus. By his own actions, he’s demonstrating that Ukraine appears to be on the brink, and the West is giving its all in what may amount to be one final heroic propaganda provocation to try to stir Russia out of its comfort zone."

Well, according to Alexander Mercouris of The Duran, the Russians knew about the invasion of Kursk weeks in advance, and let it happen because it would deplete the Ukrainian reserves of men and equipment fast and end the war (sorry: the SMO) sooner. In other words, Kursk is a trap set and sprung by Russia for the Ukrainians. https://theduran.locals.com/post/6003746/rus-prepares-pokrovsk-storm-ukr-troops-no-supplies-all-sent-kursk-rus-blames-west-kursk

It sort of reminds me of the alternate-universe portal of SG-1. The Earth and its alliance is winning the galaxy war on your side. But if you go through the portal, you're in a universe where the Ga'ould are winning and the Earth and it's allies are destroyed and hunted.

ive been trying to get into SG-1. does it fall off or is it consistently good? i dislike the episodic nature. perhaps there are some key plot developing episodes that i can watch exclusively?

If I were to recommend an episode to someone who won't watch the rest of the show, it would be this. It's kinda out of character for the series: https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/2010_(episode)

But some important themes overall were:

- possession by a parasite (that one's obvious from the start)

- replicators (and EMF)

Might come back with more on this. I'm a fan lol

It gets REALLY good after Season 3.

It's pretty consistent in it's quality. The scale gets bigger and bigger as the show progresses. There are large plots, with fairly statisfying closure. A lot of episodic filler tough. Could not recommend key episodes, because the required knowledge to understand what's happening is sprinklered around randomly.

It has a pretty naive, optimistic feel-good quality to it, if you grew up in the 90's it will feel like home. Some of the villains are really fun to watch (like Baal and Apophis - what delightful assholes they are).

I'm a sucker for sci-fi, pretty much watched/ read them all. There are better quality (from a writing point of view) "space opera" sci-fi show's than SG-1 for example: Deep Space 9, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, The Expanse, Firefly Andor etc.

However SG-1 uniqely captures the feeling of the last optimistic moment before I realized, how hopelessly shitty the world and hopeless the future looks like.

(The real juicy stuff is in books though. Some sci-fi books run circles around the best show's, and have true mindfucking, wolrd-view questioning potential to them, like: Blindsight, Dune, Culture, Manifold Space, Three Body Problem etc.)

"How do you kill 15k men in a small raiding party of 1000 men? Does the math work out, guys?"

What kind of a faithless question is that? Next I suppose you'll be asking how Jesus (PBUH) fed five thousand with 5 loaves of bread and two fish. Or was it two thousand with five fish? I'll have to check with the local priest. But either way, it sure happened! Trust the plan!

Just wanted to share that Paladin was founded in 2022, and their domain name registered in 2023. The name itself is of Western origin. -- On another note, everything feels fake, I can't stop seeing theater everywhere.

Yeah, that makes it more likely it’s authentic. Paladin is a common name for western defense companies, the biggest being paladin defense group, a US PMC that hires DEVGRU types for security jobs. No western psyop would give a Russian company that name, the Russians chose it to give themselves an air of undeserved legitimacy, the way fly by night overseas investment scams call themselves “Harvard Advisors” or “Stanford Group”

Is Russia a colony of the US?

We laugh at GER for the lack of reaction to US tapping Merkel's phone, and other ways in which GER sovereignty is a joke.

But at least GER doesn't have conscripts being massacred by US rockets on GER soil and then not having a reaction to that. https://x.com/marmar_ae/status/1824724101954670926

Tapping Merkel's phone? Small potatoes. Germany owned the Nord Stream pipeline that the US blew up. Talk about lack of reaction: Germany is actively controlling the "investigation" to make sure none of the explosive residue can be traced to the US.

Germany is consequently actively de-industrializing, due in part to the much higher cost of importing US LNG but also due to the German decision to decommission perfectly good nuclear power plants. After all, nuclear power could never be "green" even though it doesn't pollute the ground, the surrounding water or emit CO2.

I also used to think Germany is on an accelerated deindustrialization path, not really that sure now

Why ?

Expand full comment

Because it is in the same vein of hyping things up like Ukraine is falling any second. I see the Germans still churning cars like there's no tomorrow (and you can say that they may be assembled in factories in Slovakia, Hungary, Mexico or US, which is partly true, they still make them in Germany as well, and the profits from all those factories still come to good ole Deutschland)

"How do you kill 15k men in a small raiding party of 1000 men" ... The US Democratic Party is going to be really pissed at someone for stealing their (non-existent) voters. Aside from that, it might do to see how many rail supply lines cross Kursk Oblast - I've heard that a major one goes through Sudzha but I could have heard wrong. It pays to look at maps. So my bet is that Ukraine is trying to get control over/cut northern supply routes to Donbass - then they do away with the Kerch Bridge and maybe hit Taganrog - rail and sea transport - and that's it for logistics to Donbass. Maybe Russia loses an army there... but probably long before that, Putin will be Bidened goodbye - maybe by this Black Colonel guy. As for "dirty bomb" stuff, what's the point? What's the consequence militarily - bombing a nuclear plant does not create critical mass leading to a nuke detonation, it makes attaining critical mass impossible, it just spreads bits and pieces of whatever radioactive isotopes are present around the countryside, probably within a five mile radius or so. No nuclear detonation means no fallout and the effects are local. So that's just stupid. One thing that could happen is that the cooling water for the waste pits could be cut off, the waste could go into a thermal runaway, catch fire and produce lots of toxic radioactive smoke - and the results of *that* are a real crapshoot, it depends where the winds are blowing between the time the fire starts and when it ends... Rostov could wind up being some very "hot" toast as easily as Kiev or Crimea - and maybe the lot of them if the wind shifts while the fire is burning - that's for the Zaporhizhzhia NPP. As for Kursk, similar happening to that could put a smoke plume clear to MSK or SPB - or Kiev, Sumy, and Kharkov - or all of them, so again, not such a hot idea for anyone on either side. Ask a sailor, wind is unpredictable...

One possibility is that nuclear meltdown, ala Chernobyl, will once again bankrupt Russia like happened what happened with the Soviets.

Expand full comment

If they have a thermal runaway fire, the smoke will contaminate whatever farmland it gets rained out into, and whatever crops are grown on that land - the top 10cm of soil has to be scraped off - worse, if there are furrows. Crops remediate radioactivity by taking up isotopes from the soil. Famine, not bankruptcy, would be the real problem.

You're right. The world has had 4 big meltdowns and lots of little ones, but we've never had a fuel pool fire. Depending on the quantity and age of the fuel in the pond, it could be really nasty.

And potentially it could even go critical again... Imagine if the fire was smothered and it melted through the floor instead, flowed into a low point and reattained criticality. This happened both in Fukushima and Chernobyl. Search a picture of the very impressive Elephant's Foot.

Why is there this Western 'orientation' in Russian operations? Surely there must be a Russian word equivalent to 'Paladin' or 'Champion'. Why do they use 'Z' rather than the Russian letter like '3' or like a thunderbolt? Do they see themselves as equivalents of William Marshall or as budding Americans? Do they pronounce 'Z' the British or the American way?

Thanks for the film. 'Zoe' meant 'life' in ancient Greek - although the Greek squiggle doesn't look much like 'z'. It remains a mystery why some mid-ranking Russian officer would choose it to designate his troops in a military operation.

Perhaps he should have chosen Omega, being the last letter in Greek and so equivalent to 'Z' in the Latin alphabet and perhaps bearing some of the Greek symbolism of 'the first and the last, Alpha and Omega'. Maybe painting a curve would have been more difficult. Probably its just one of those things we will never know.

Meh, martyanov will just tell you that those three bridges were obsolete anyway, just like the Moskva cruiser and the sub recently sunk were, but wait till you see the new bridges that are gonna be built, the best, most advanced bridges in the world, far more advanced than the American junk!!!

@nikola_mikovic

Over the past two years, Russia didn’t even attempt to destroy any bridges over the Dniepr River in Ukraine. Pro-Kremlin propagandists claimed they were indestructible without nuclear weapons.

When you want to do something, you find a way; when you don't, you find an excuse.

Unbelievable stuff from trust-the-plan channel, totally silent about the Kirsk 'incursion', has the audacity to write this:

Fortunately, the power was still on, and cameras captured these bandits in the crime.

Hopefully they are all court-martialed, imprisoned by the Russian army - the locals need to be compensated for the loss.
