Hello everybody!
It seems we’re back to that situation from around March or April the last year, where some visitors of this blog do not know (or do not care) about my professional backgrounds, or what’s the purpose of this blog, and therefore have – ‘automatically’ and ‘rightfully’ – concluded that they need to teach me and all other visitors about politics and history. Or at least ‘force’ me to ‘admit’ few hard facts…
Hm…
Well, in favour of their own information status, let me start this one with an introduction – indeed, with both another disclaimer and a full revelation (for something like 349th time): except for being an US-Ukronazi mouthpiece, and because I’m critical of the Arabs and Israelis alike, I’m a leftist racist and anti-Semite. Moreover, as an outspoken supporter of the anti-Assadist uprising in Syria, I’m a mercenary-Jihadist-supporting-pro-Occidental-dinosaur paid by CIA, Mossad, UN and NATO (countless Americans, British, Russians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Argentineans, Spaniards, few Canadians and many Australians are going to confirm this any time of the day). Atop of that, few Austrians, numerous Iranians and Assadists can attest that I’m a paid agent of BND, CIA, HNA, MI6, Turkish MIT, and the Qatari Secret Service (judge Salvatti even issued an official prosecution notice), while Egyptians, Iraqis, and few Israelis know I’m not only paid by the Mossad, but even more so by the SAVAMA of Iran, Mukbarat of Egypt, and the General Military Intelligence Directorate of Iraq. I’m in services of the IRGC (Iraqis know this the best, thanks to an Iranian and a Spaniard that’s plagiarising my books); and then I’m working for the KGB, FSB, RSB, UPS, DHL, ÖAMTC, 4WD, DDIS, EYIT, RWR, P-19, MFG, FUGYU, and in the MILFs (ah, come on: no dirty thoughts here! The Philipino Moro insurgency simply has the coolest abbreviation of all).
….and, as the followers of my Facebook-account know for years, on the attached photo you can see me (first form the right), a highly decorated agent of the North Korean Military Intelligence, while receiving my medals from Great General and Glorious Brother Leader.
But, I’m digressing. Not only you, dear reader/s, but different journalists want to know what do I think about politics, and are constantly asking me related questions.
I find that irritating. It’s not that it would be some sort of ‘damn if I do, damn if I don’t’ situation: it’s simply so that I have interest in understanding - and, if possible, explaining - modern warfare. Not the politics. But, since questions never stop…. well, sigh, OK, let me ‘put my feet back on the Earth’ and, reply to some of questions…
(….because, you know, in a war, there are so many more important things going on in the politics and the social media, than on the battlefield. Complex weapons systems? Who cares: too technical. What matters are sports and cooking…)
To start with: the modern-day politics at strategic level continues to shine with ever bigger absurdities and ironies.
And ever more of highly-sophisticated advertisements for contraception.
For example: USA (and not only the USA) are deeply disappointed by the Egyptian military regime – the regime upheld and supported by the West for 30+ years (so much so, the EU was supplying equipment for anti-riot purposes as a ‘method of democratising the country’ until few years ago) – first trying to supply artillery ammunition to Russia, and then letting Russian transport aircraft deliver (few, ages-old, and Czechoslovak-designed- and manufactured-) Aero L-39 Albatross training jets (and light strikers) to the Central African Republic. Just like Egyptians are deeply disappointed when jerks like me are pointing with fingers at them for their support of characters like ‘Marshal’ Haftar in Libya, who in turn are collaborating with Pudding, Macron, and few other lovely characters in their combat against the internationally-recognized, but, alas, Turkey & Qatar-supported government in Tripoli…. In turn, Haftar (plus Russia) is supporting mass murderers of the ‘Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) in Sudan – which is against Egyptian interests because, officially, Egyptian military regime is one of biggest supporters of the Sudanese military regime, and de-facto ‘at war’ with the RSF….and all of this because the West remains insistent on theories that supporting dictatorships is making things easier (and more profitable), and, of course, because Arabs are incompatible with democracy…
What has this got to do with Ukraine?
Except for Russia exploiting the opportunity to spread its sphere of influence in Africa, you mean? OK; don’t worry, we’re getting there. By now you know I need a slightly longer introduction…
Back to the Egyptian foreign policy, which – as absurd as this is certain to sound to many between you – is actually mirroring that of the West. Foremost in regards of making sense (see: not at all), not to talk about its endless wisdom and far-sight: it’s driven by justice, equality, and fairness…. So much so, it’s almost matching the foreign politics of the USA, the EU and NATO – not only in regards of Ukraine of the last 20-30 years, but all over the World over the last 70 or so years…
Therefore, it’s easy to imagine the shock of the politicians here in the West in recent days, when they were forced to watch a representative of the African National Congress – a political party of former anti-Apartheid-freedom-fighters that converted into a gang of endemically corrupt fluffy pink bunnies nowadays ruling the Republic of South Africa – openly declaring Russia for friend, and the West for the enemy, in an interview for….was it BBC?
Stunning. Isn’t it? And the first time ever, ever, ever, a member of a corrupt and incompetent government that failed, miserably, in almost everything it did, came to the idea to put all the blame for own failures and corruption - on foreign powers. We’ve simply never seen anything of that kind before. No matter where. At least not on the planet Earth…
Never mind. The USA – where both the politicians and the media, no matter what side of the political spectrum, meanwhile sound like some of leaders of different fascistoid juntas of Central America back in the 1980s – are going to save the situation. No matter where. For the start: the situation in Sudan. There, the Americans have – in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates – arranged a cease-fire between the military regime and the RSF. Which is like trying to extinguish a fire with a barrel of kerosene carried by a pyromaniac. What a surprise then, the cease-fire didn’t hold for 15 minutes: that war is now over, just like the one in Syria is over because Pudding declared it for over. Three times. Therefore, we can now all re-focus on Ukraine.
….although, can’t hold back one more: it’s on hand that it’s only the foreign- and security policy of the Republic of India that’s actually making sense. There’s no denial that the ultra-turbo-smart generals and politicians in New Delhi were excelling when basing their defence strategy on a highly reliable source of weapons systems and a long-term ally: Russia. Yes, Russia: not the USSR. Correspondingly, and contrary to Western bent-overs, they remained insistent on that policy even when their greatest ally of all the times went fighting a completely insane aggression against the people and democracy of Ukraine, while placing their bets on great future of the Russian Federation squarely on cooperation with the People’s Republic of China.
Now, some are going to point out that Beijing is such a big friend of Moscow that as an expression of gratitude, and in fear over possible Western sanctions, I guess, it cancelled all negotiations with Moscow regarding the Siberia-2 gas pipeline….
But, that’s unimportant. What is more important is that this act displeased many Austrians. They now have to take care about deeply depressed Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch still in control over something like a third of STRABAG, one of biggest construction enterprises in Austria. Indeed, a few characters here can’t regain their composure from all the tears, because this is confirming one of biggest Austrian national concerns, repeated in our media more often than the Lord’s Prayer, the last year or so. See: if Austria doesn’t continue making business with Pudding, the Chinese are going to take over…
But, I’m digressing… what I actually wanted to say is that RUMINT has it half the Indian Air Force is grounded for the lack of spares for its ‘domestically manufactured’ MiGs and Sukhois... But hey: that doesn’t matter, either, the Indian Air Force is great, because currently involved in some exercise in Europe, and a single Su-57 can shot down all of F-22s and F-35s, on sight…
Overall: Russia remains Egypt’s, and South Africa’s, and India’s, and Serbia’s, and Turkey’s, and your neighbour’s-niece’s-uncle-of-the-cousin-of-the-third-degree’s best friend… while the West is to blame for everything.
Amid all of this, I can at least pretend I understand one thing: it was Russia – repeat for emphasis: Russia, not the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which at the time still included Ukraine – that saved India from a US invasion in 1971. Indeed – and because I’m sure you didn’t know about this – the Russian special military operation in Ukraine is nowadays saving India from an US invasion, which is in preparation for years already. ….Probably because Hollywood, finally, declared the Bollywood movies for a major threat for national security…
….all of which is, finally, bringing me to Ukraine. Well, right next to Ukraine. So it seems…can’t find the place on the World map, any more… Point is: I wonder. Could it be it’s famous General Pavlos Christou (ret.), from Greece, who is the actual mastermind behind the politics of Washington, Moscow, Cairo, London, Berlin, New Delhi, Paris, Pretoria, Brasilia and few other corners of the Earth, and such social media like the Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, TikTok, Vkontakte and few others – and not only in Athens?
What? You’ve never heard of Christou, widely recognized as the military genius of our times? Tsk, tsk, tsk…. In comparison to Christou, von Clausewitz, von Manstein, Zhukov, Montgomery, Eisenhower, and few others were all bloody amateurs. Christou is better than General Petraeus…indeed: better than Obama. But, and to your giant luck: I’m a patient person, so I’ll explain.
Few weeks ago, Christou enlightened the humanity with commentary of the following kind:
‘Wars should only be fought between armies in open space. Ukraine with its military dogma has moved the war into the cities without withdrawing the inhabitants, so there are heavy casualties on both sides. Civilians are being killed. It is a war crime when you bomb and fight and keep the population in the middle of the fighting, when you set up military bases in the cities, in the hospitals. This is forbidden by international laws of warfare…’
I’m never going to forget the moment I’ve read Christou’s immortal words. Not only because my monitor and my glasses melted: it was like if the sky opened and an angel, surrounded by brilliant light, descended to spread the word…. the military brilliance left me speechless….
BÄH! These disgusting Ukrainian military dogmas! This awful practice of carrying Ukrainian cities, full of Ukrainian civilians, to Russia, to Chechnya, to Georgia, to Syria, to Mali, to Libya, to Central African Republic….even….can you imagine how brazen they are? ….to Ukraine …which is some non-existing country out there….nobody knows where… so the Russians must attack and bomb them at every opportunity, and then people on both sides get killed…
One is left to wonder: how misinformed any Ukraine-fanboys must be when denying persistent Russian fake news that General Zaluzhny was severely injured, earlier this month?
Apparently as misinformed as all those who fell for Ukrainian claims they’ve badly damaged the Russian signals-intelligence-gathering ship Ivan Khurs, few days ago…
But, that’s not important. What is important is that amid all of this, shocking news came from the Belgorod Oblast of the Russian Federation. Two groups of armed Russian oppositionals, controlled by the Ukrainian GUR MO (Main Directorate of Intelligence….and before you ask: nope, I’m not working for them: they’re just paying one of my yacths in Monte Carlo) – and partially equipped with US-made vehicles, arms, and gear – ‘invaded’ Russia. Advanced for five, then for ten kilometres, securing some five or six villages, before withdrawing back to Ukraine.
Sure, on the military plan, the action ‘revealed’ additional deficiencies in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (VSRF): foremost, it revealed that the VSRF has too few troops to properly protect the border to Ukraine. Even less so are there enough troops to act against similar incursions – which is why the two Russian groups were able to advance up to 10km deep into Russia and why there is a rumour that the VSRF then withdrew an entire motor rifle division from Ukraine to send it to the border ‘up north’. Sure, after some 36-48 hours the Keystone Cops in Moscow then ordered an (‘exemplary’) ‘punishing counterstrike against reconnoitring saboteurs’ – involving attack- and assault helicopters and Su-34 fighter-bombers… But their ground forces reacted with ‘such a speed and vigour’, that the civilian authorities had no other solution but to start evacuating population from around a dozen of villages, because they had no idea what is the VSRF doing, and there was no indication it is doing anything at all. The Russians then lost one of helicopters while crews of their Su-34 super-turbo-fighter-bombers only demonstrated they do not know even the basic principles of their business – and missed all their targets while striking these from low altitude with free-fall bombs. That much about ‘combat experience from Syria’, too…
Of course, it’s ‘fun’ watching Pudding’s big-mouthed propagandists announce a ‘victory’ in Bakhmut like if they’ve won the Second World War, on one day, and then getting ‘rather terse’ when reporting about ‘invasion’ by ‘saboteurs’ on the next day. But, I do not have a good feeling about this enterprise – and then for multiple reasons. From top towards the bottom….
As first, there’s Zelensky. Either this operation was sanctioned by Zelensky, the way it should have been, or it was not. If it was, then Zelensky ignored countless warnings by the US and different European governments, NOT to attack into Russia. This is risky for multiple reasons, including a possible nuclear response by Russia, but also the loss of Western support.
If this operation was not sanctioned by Zelensky….then the question is: who is in charge in Ukraine? A president, elected by the people, the way the situation should be, or some anonymous apparatchicks in intelligence services, the way the situation should never be?
Secondly: what was the purpose of this action?
If the purpose was causing unrest inside Russia… sorry, that’s going to require much, much more than about two motorised companies of troops. Thus, the operation was not successful. If the purpose was forcing the VSRF to re-deploy some of its reserves from inside Ukraine, towards north, to the border between Russia and Ukraine…. so to weaken the VSRF inside Ukraine pending the ‘much expected, war-decisive Ukrainian counteroffensive’…well, some say the VSRF re-deployed its 3rd Motor Rifle Division in that direction, but I haven’t seen any evidence for that. Yet. With other words: there’s no clear evidence the operation was successful even in this regards.
So, what was it then? Trolling Russia for propaganda purposes? If so, sorry: I do not know any act of military trolling winning any war. It’s as much of a waste of time as any other kind of military operations run ‘for PR purposes’.
Lets hope it was actually something like ‘reconnaissance in force’ - to make sure if there are any sizeable contingents of the VSRF on the other side of the border, and find out their reaction times…
To Ukraine’s huge luck, and for once, amid the resulting chaos in Moscow – caused by something I’ve explained about their military communications, few days ago, by pure accident, of course (but, that was ‘too technical’…) - Pudding and cohorts were too slow and too incompetent but to exploit a brilliant opportunity. For at least a year, probably more, they can’t stop teaching us about aggressive NATO and genocidal Ukrainian intentions, both aiming to destroy Russia. Instead of accepting their accusations at face value, everybody in Ukraine and the West is blaming them of an aggression, and considering Ukraine for a victim of the Russian aggression. But, now that Ukrainians did attack into Russia (for already the second time), thus giving credit to such Russian claims, Pudding & Co have forgotten their own mythology about ‘aggressive NATO and Russians-murdering Nazi-regime in Kyiv’….?
….and that on top of the fact that it would be ‘mild’ to declare the mass of involved Russian volunteers for ‘football hooligans and fans of right-wing ideologies’.
Man, just imagine the outlooks of US foreign policy providing arms to Ukrainian intelligence agencies that turn out to run few gangs of the Russian Neo Nazis. Really, even at the times the Israelis are electing fascistoid religious fanatics into their government…. sorry, don’t think this is going to ‘work’.
That much about all of this. ‘From the frontlines’ is to follow in a day or two.
The only thing I dont understand as a Ukrainian - why cant our forces attack russians on their territory? What is the difference between hitting russians with drones in Belgorod and sending forces to kill russians with bullets on their territory? They can come and kill us on our land, but we cant do the same? Sorry but this is a bit dumb
Yeah I think you're missing part of the fine print in Russin propaganda.
First, Russia is facing WW3, apocalypse, the moment they stop bombing Ukrainian civilians. Russians don't need proof for that, they know it to be true 100%. So... some smoke in some remote villages... hardly proof of anything. Ukrainian Nazis are already mass-murdering Russian civilians in Donetzk and Crimea anyway, and that since 2014, nothing new.
Second, fortunately Russia is safe against this horror because the Russian army is there defending the borders in full force. It's not even fighting at all, only defending. Wagner is the one destroying the last remnants of the Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut. Vugledar, Avdiivka? Sorry don't ring a bell. Smoke in some villages is what you'd expect from that Ukrainian scum, no news there. But the Russian army failing to stop that? Uh that does not compute, logical contradiction.
So bottom line is Russia cannot use this incident since they don't need proof to support their fiction and they have all the incentive to downplay it. Cause the Russian infosphere is absolutely not going to accept "we don't have the forces" as a reason to not defend Russian border villages.
