And This Is News ...

 ... exactly how?

Kiev refuses to discuss recognizing Crimea as a Russian territory, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky told journalists on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian outlet  Suspilne. “[Crimea] is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine. We have nothing to talk about on this topic – it is outside our Constitution,” Zelensky said. The Ukrainian leader claimed that discussing the issue of Crimean ownership will only lead to prolonging the war. “As soon as we start talking about Crimea, about our sovereign territories, we enter the format of prolonging the war,” he said, adding that this is “what Russia wants.”

At this stage Ze's BS is needed (if, mind you, IF) only to Trump, Russians don't give a flying fuck about what he and his curators from London think, because Russia can continue with SMO as long as it takes, maintaining operational tempo which is most efficient for killing the remnants of VSU while maintaining own losses low. 

Meanwhile, Financial Times--this London's collection of BSers and creeps--floats yet another British BS. 

Vladimir Putin has offered to halt his invasion of Ukraine across the current front line as part of efforts to reach a peace deal with US President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. The Russian president told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, three of the people said. 

Keep in mind, this is from the rag filled with inbred losers who invent all kinds of shit trying to keep this pathetic Island relevant and not taking its proper place as an economic and military backwater. So, they lie. Don't try to figure out who those "three people" are because they don't exist, other than in imagination of these war criminals from London and Europe. 

Peskov went on record on Monday:

Russia does not believe that a peace deal with Ukraine can be concluded in an expedited manner, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. On Monday, US President Donald Trump suggested that Moscow and Kiev could sign an agreement by the end of this week, while urging both sides to stop fighting and focus their attention on trade with the US. Commenting on Trump’s proposed timeline, Peskov told journalist Pavel Zarubin that while contacts with the US are ongoing through “various channels,” it would be ill-advised to expect an agreement to be reached quickly. “This topic is so complex that it probably shouldn’t be constrained by strict timeframes,” Peskov said, adding that attempting to agree on a viable settlement in a rushed manner would be a “thankless task.”

So, make your own decision who BSes here and who is not. Meanwhile, my sources (three of the people) tell me that UK will cease to exist as a nation by 2050, together with its modern degenerate "culture" and "elites". 

The Royal Ballet School’s new artistic director has declared that plus-sized dancers are the future after a former student alleged that teachers had “body-shamed” pupils. Iain Mackay, who was installed in his post at the school last year, also said that same-sex dance partnerships should be normalised.

Yes, that will be totally correspondent to London's "cultural", economic, military and intellectual level. I am all for it. 

Statement For Ukie and Other Trolls. Read Attentively.

Judging by the activity of all kinds of Ukie IPSO and simply "patriotic", US-UK, NATO etc. trolls and FUD "masters" at this blog, including promoters of an open anti-Russian asset Girkin (aka Strelkov), let me explain something.

1. I do not have nor do I follow any Telegram channels for a simple reason--ANY, I underscore, ANY so called info in those TGs unless it is from official and accredited sources is a collection of a BS, most of which is either FUD ops or, otherwise, turbo-"patriotic" crap. It is also the main reason I do not follow all those Podolyakas, "Colonel" Cassads, Kotenoks, and other "analysts" whose level of reporting is this:

"I was in the first APC when we got hit with NLAW....", or "We take these POWs but we have got 2 200s in our unit.." etc. I respect deeply the combat work LDNR forces do and heroism of their guys but I do not bother myself with constant description of tactical and human minutiae of this war, because this is not what I do. I AM NOT interested in opinions of even heroic and very tactically literate soldiers. Even the best of them do not have background to have a competent opinion on the theater of operations scale-wise issues, let alone on geopolitics and strategy. This is not to denigrate those people, no, but unless one has a serious military-intel-academic background in this there is nothing to talk about. But even tactically, you saw yourself how yet another Ukie fake was debunked with this river-crossing BS. So, for trolls--I now will ban you without any warning and will continue to ban you. 

2. Here is how professionals talk about war. 

They talk about war correlates, attrition rates, mobilization, combat cohesion etc. They also do not get excited over some tactical episodes which create a lot of impression on housewives and househusbands, mama's basement "strategists" and the category of public like this. I try in this blog to bring most professional and competent opinions by people who DO understand and you know those people from Larry Johnson, Douglas Macgregor to Scott Ritter, Russian MoD, Russian military specialists etc. I do not take kindly to those who bring here such human waste as Girkin--those posts will be removed, unless they are for  the purpose of making a case from such tools as Girkin, Bellingcat and other intel propaganda assets and poking well-deserved fun at them. 

3. So, the general message here (I reiterate) is that I will be removing all kinds of "analyses" which are obviously fake or are nothing, which is the 99% of the cases, but a result of mass media echo-chamber, because REAL plans, REAL maps, REAL movements of troops, REAL data are known only to Russia's General Staff and nobody else. Us, former military and intel professionals, we merely try to give the operational and strategic framework--that requires a completely different set of skills which is required on the tactical level. 

Now, re:  yesterday's mentioning of the centers of containment for VSU POWs. Thanks to Kadyrov guys, part of the Zvezda TV made it to UTube. Here it is:

This is not staged and the only difference with full Zvezda report is the absence of the work of the security systems around such centers. There is NO doubt that many VSU POWs are absolutely stunned by the attitude and treatment by Russian Armed Forces. In related news, Western propaganda is getting back on its favorite subject--Russians raping women. Well, what can I say, they better refer to MI-6 and such "historians" as Anthony Beavor--they know everything about raping. 

IN the end, for those who want to listen to my "slight" intro to force multipliers and basic attrition model, here is my yesterday's video.  
   

People asked and I may, in the end, do a few lectures on combat models and operations. I wanted to do it anyway. 

P.S. For a good level of military journalism for general public, here is an excellent piece by Vlad Shurigin about "Tanks of Mariupol" (in Russian). Remarkably, LDNR forces DO begin to receive T-72B3s.

Exhibit A...

 ... of a complete cretinism of US MSM. Get a load of this. 

They invent a "story" of some defiant ukie grunts (long since debunked), and now, by showing some MLRS (Grad most likely) salvo, they claim the sinking of Vasily Bykov patrol ship. By MLRS no less)). "In accordance to reports", without mentioning, of course, that these are not "reports" but propaganda fake by ukies and their masters. Of course, no video or photographic evidence of sinking of Vasily Bykov is provided. Of course, it is not provided. 

 

But this whole BS, together with hundreds of Russia's combat aircraft "destroyed" and thousands upon thousands of Russkies killed on the battlefield,  exists only in the inflamed imagination of the US "journalists", who, apart from being whores (sorry, whores, for comparing you to US propaganda--I know, it is a huge insult to whores) and the brainwashed Western public which is utterly illiterate on such matters as operations of combat fleets and basic targeting. Obviously, the destruction of the moving target (ships do move in the sea and do not really stop during combat) by MLRS in the absence of targeting (most ukie radar, including those along the coast of the Black Sea are gone now) is something out of fantasy or cheap war-gaming on Commodore computer. Obviously for morons from ABC it is unknown that MLRS ukies have are classic "area impact" weapons designed only to work at the spread out ground targets based on accurate targeting. 

 

No doubt, the United States may try to provide targeting to ukies (you see--I am going now into a full blown "what if" BS scenario), but the main issue here is that the Black Sea Fleet currently completely blocked the 404 coast and with it it also brought to bear some damn effective AD ranging from Fort at RKR Moskva to Shtil on pr. 11356 frigates for which slow ballistic MLRS rockets are an easy target and no ship of the Black Sea Fleet operates out of the AD areas of the task group. At this stage one can only do a facepalm and admit that the West cannot even provide a believable BS. Not surprising, once one looks at the "elites" Western "education" provide for this kind of psyops. Recall, I already discussed this issue before. They are simply that incompetent and have no grasp of modern warfare, especially involving issues of C4ISR. 

 

In related news, Mariupol is unblocked and, finally, mass evacuation of civilians started, with mopping up of the center continuing. The war crime by 404 against civilians in Donetsk will not stay unsolved, by now it is known who and how gave an order to use Tochka U against civilians in Donetsk. This is the only type of the warfare combined West is capable of conducting: propaganda BS and killing civilians. I don't know, can anyone explain to this boy what is the real war?

Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor to US President Joe Biden, has warned Russia that NATO would go “full force” if any strike is recorded on NATO territory – intentional or not – after Moscow attacked a Ukrainian military base near the Polish border. In an appearance on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation’ on Sunday, Sullivan was asked by host Margaret Brennan whether the current US policy was “that any strike into Polish territory or airspace, intentional or unintentional” would be considered an attack on NATO. “The president has been clear repeatedly that the United States will work with our allies to defend every inch of NATO territory, and that means every inch,” Sullivan responded, explaining that “if there is a military attack on NATO territory, it would cause the invocation of Article Five, and we would bring the full force of the NATO alliance to bear in responding to it.”

Can somebody also explain to this ignoramus that NATO's "full force" militarily in terms of conventional response is primarily virtual because... well, again, he should have attended a serious military institution to get a real education, not studying the BS of political "science" and "international relations" in Yale and Oxford--stalwarts of the West's production of ignoramuses for top political jobs in Anglo-American world. We can see results of such an "education" all over the place, including "destruction" of Vasily Bykov by ukie MLRS. Do not expect integrity and honor from those people. Same goes for tangible evidence of destruction of the ship. Don't hold your breath--these are Western media, they lie for a living.

This, however, I think is too late for Meta. 

Facebook’s parent company Meta has changed its policy guidance on tolerance to hate speech to prohibit “condoning violence” against “Russians in general” and to ban calls for the death of heads of state, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a memo posted on the company’s internal platform. The Sunday post, published by Meta’s global affairs president, Nick Clegg, and seen by Reuters, suggests that Facebook is “narrowing the focus” of its content moderation policy to make it “explicitly clear” that a previous decisions made last week should not be interpreted as “condoning violence against Russians in general.”

Too late, creeps. The policy was already in place and, as with the murder, you cannot roll it back and say that things are cool now. Doesn't work like this. Obviously they should worry.

Russia’s Prosecutor General filed a legal complaint with the nation’s courts demanding all Meta platforms be outlawed and the company itself be designated an extremist organization in Russia over allowing hate speech against the country’s nationals. Facebook was banned in Russia even before these developments over discrimination towards state-owned and state-affiliated Russian media outlets.

It is not surprising that such a company goes homicidal when one considers who, as an example, dominates moderating policies there.

This is 2017. But then again, the US itself failed to notice how its own political discourse was ukrainaized. This is just the start. Here is your Monday primer.

On A Somewhat "Lighter" Note...

By Paul Joseph Watson. 

It also addresses to some degree all this BS with fakes fabricated by ukies and their masters. But, of course, who can live a day without Lady Ga Ga's input on the strategic and operational matters.
