Well, Well, Well...

Judging by the increased number of trolls... ah judge for yourself. This is from Ria (use Google to translate). 

Бойцы других подразделений уже достигли центра, контролируют больше половины города. Считаные километры — и украинские войска окажутся в окружении. Потеря Курахово лишит ВСУ важных путей снабжения. А российская армия получит ключ к Запорожской области.

Translation: Fighters from other units have already reached the center and control more than half of the city. A few kilometers and the Ukrainian troops will be surrounded. The loss of Kurakhovo will deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of important supply routes. And the Russian army will receive the key to the Zaporizhia region.

And what do you know: 

The Russian flag is hoisted in the center of Kurakhovo. Now, if you disregard Colonel Mackgregor's references (this is his shtick, sadly) to Solzhenitsyn, he talks directly about mountains of lies. 

Per US generals--there is not a single US general who is capable to fight modern continental war, period. The US system of military education is a joke--it does not educate officer corps for a real war, it brainwashes them into Hollywoodesque "military history" of the "finest fighting force in history". They really believed and swallowed 404 military propaganda hook, line and sinker--that's the first evidence of military incompetence.

Sullivan Worries.

As he and his cabal who fucked the US and the world for 8 years should. The only escape for them, the only chance to avoid being charged with treason is to elicit some crazy response from Russia. Poor kids don't know anything about Russia and war--the activity at which Russia is the best in the world. 

There You Go!

That's the way to motivate your troops)). 

Ukrainian troops currently being trained in the UK to fight Russia must steel themselves to face death and kill without a second thought, Kiev's ambassador in London, Valery Zaluzny has told the soldiers. The four-star general previously served as commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces. The speech that Zaluzhny gave at a bootcamp in southern England was shared by The Sun on Tuesday, after the tabloid joined the official’s tour of the military facility. British Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard accompanied the Ukrainian general-turned-diplomat. ”Remember that the war is becoming more cruel with every day. It leaves almost no chance for survival,” Zaluzhny warned the trainees. “Learn not to be afraid of death.”

Yes, the way to teach them "not to be afraid of death" is to use copious amounts of methamphetamine, whose use is now traditional in the midst of 404 cannon fodder. But here comes the second question: what can possibly British military "teach" ukies? Seriously? The army which is much smaller that VSU and who learned only one thing--hide behind the back of NATO proxy. It is akin to asking local plumber to perform open heart surgery. Yet, here we are, especially when looking at UK's blabbering cretin also known as PM. 

I'll talk about this whole issue of nukes and war in my today's video.

Open Thread.

 Extremely busy today. Go at it.

Garland, Scott And...

Keane Is Not A Military Man...

 ... he is a hot air balloon and a sore loser who wouldn't be allowed to command regiment, let alone brigade in serious army. I totally get the agitation of Daniel Davis, but...

Keep in mind--it is the US which is nuclear-biased country, not Russia. All this talk about Russia using nuclear weapons for now is a moot point--keep in mind, Russia has an overwhelming conventional escalation dominance. Just look at the arsenal. Escalation towards nuclear threshold is a rather complex process and Russia can punish NATO without nukes. I constantly point this out.

Irina Alksnis...

 ... penned a good piece (in Russian) on this "permission" for strikes. You can read it here following this link. The only thing Alksnis messed up is the following of the same meme of "red lines". There never were any "red lines"--those are a figment of imagination of cowards in the West trying to probe the limits of Moscow's patience. But she nails it--the US has no space for maneuver left and it is the last step of desperation. Now it is just the matter what NATO's asset will go down first. To remind you about ATACMS ranges. 

With deployment of 50 km in depth behind VSU lines. Lines changed since then, so did the coverage by Russian ISR.
