As you know, about 7-8 months ago I declared that I lost any corporate solidarity with the US military, especially after witnessing a wave of war crimes committed both in Russia and Iran by people "trained" and provided for by the US military. Having said that:
It is not JUST because this American soldier was suffering from his wounds, for Russians, especially doctors, he is first and foremost a human and a wounded soldier second, albeit it is a serious consideration, of course, because corporate solidarity (I cannot have any solidarity with Hegseth or Kellogg) or not--he is a warrior who suffered and his suffering was supposed to be stopped. Russian doctors did their job. They always will. It is normal, Russians treat even VSU wounded well, unlike it is the other way around, where some Russian wounded POWs have been operated upon without anesthesia. Guess where this came from?
... of NATO's "operations" (mostly PR). The idea behind throwing these DRGs into Mirnograd is to ... correct--to stick the flag of some 404 formation, make photo of it and then sell this BS to public to show that 404 is still fighting and money and whatever puny amounts of the hardware NATO can provide must continue to flow to 404. The result is always the same.
Here is more.
Why I concentrate on this. After NYT's revelations in its long piece on deliberations in Trump Admin about debacle in 404 and globally, I was fascinated by the assessments provided by the Chairman of Joints Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine.
Liberation of Seversk opened the road to Slovyansk and, in a classic 404 and its curators' manner, these idiots unleash ... PR "offensive" at ... Kupyansk. Well, here are some views of this PR "offensive" (I mean it--it is PR) aka (in Russia) "meat storms".
A bunch of terrorists is thrown into the meat grinder and traditionally are killed and maimed.
And here is the issue with what many people still cannot grasp--SMO exposed completely a massive circle of the "experts" both in Russia and the West who lived on 404 propaganda. They range from "military" shysters such as Rybar in Russia to American Generals such as Kellogg and Keane, among many others who discredited themselves not only as military amateurs but people without honor. So, what's left for them after such a manifestation of own malfeasance and stupidity? Of course to double, triple down on the BS avoiding as much as possible reality on the ground and not explaining the difference between the attack in platoon to company's strength (which is a maneuver and preceded by "movement to contact") and offensive which, hey I use only US sources, per US Army ADP FM 3-90 must have such characteristics:
So, as you can see yourself--those suicidal "offensives" lack pp. 2, 3 and 4, and result in getting own forces into the fire cauldron and their annihilation. But as I noted, most what Western "military thought" afforded us is PR and BS. Reality, however, is traditional--all attacks have been repelled with massive casualties to 404 terrorists. Here is today's map of Kupyansk.
Because they are not "talks", morons. They are dictating the conditions for capitulation of the West and the US trying to avoid a wholesale humiliation. Russians provided offramp for the US constantly during this 2025, a whole duration of Trump 2.0. But with the "advisers" such as Kellogg and other US generals who spew amateurish BS at FOX (Trump watches FOX) what do you expect? This is not to say that Witkoff and Kushner didn't enjoy their stay in Moscow--what's not to enjoy?
Per Kushner being there--I elaborate on that in my today's video which should be up in an hour or so--it is about both Israel and globalist Jewish capital. Somebody among those people finally recognized that delayed by the US by 80 years reckoning for Western Europe is here and with it the death of the safe haven for capital. It is a complex game, and one may ask--why not in the US. Well, I have some bad news--the US itself is unstable and bankrupt. So, where to park this capital now? China? Sure, but again--who knows. But what entity is stable and prudent, and emerged victorious from the titanic clash with the combined West? Here is your answer. Per Israel--Russia can provide Israel some sort of guarantees ONLY on the bases of establishment and recognition of Palestinian State, so--no go. But it doesn't mean that Zionists will not stop trying.
My friend Commander Farinazzo tells you important thing:
The era of grossly overstated West's military prowess is over. TOE from 1980s is NOT capable to fight TOE from 2025, period.
Kellogg is an embarrassment not only because he is corrupt but because he is a sore loser who discredits already radically diminished US Army and the rank of the US officer. Zapad-2025 and obsolete TOE and operational concepts. US Army officers have been invited to Belarus for Zapad-2025.
But this is for the average Joe's (or Ivan's) consumption--the most interesting thing is not seen by average people, it is what controls all that which matters most of all. Systems of battle management of the latest generation such as "Svod". The appearance of the US military there is not accidental, it is not just the part of a very delicate diplomatic dance between Russia and the US, but also a genuine desire of the US military to see at least some tactical manifestations of lessons of SMO.
The real scale of Zapad-2025 was revealed by Vladimir Putin himself (in Russian):
41 Ranges, 100,000+ personnel, newest weapon systems et al. The scenario naturally is fully defensive. Meanwhile Kellogg and his ilk continue to embarrass the US Army by parading themselves as sore incompetent losers. I speak about it today in my video, which should be up shortly. But here is NATO's Air "Defense" in 404, Kharkov today:
Russia wrote a book on SEAD (real one, not hunting ancient AD systems from 1960s), including the removal of enemy's air force component from the skies. Will NATO learn? Nope.
... it is all correct, fine and dandy--and I am not being sarcastic--you are right on all points, except for WW II, of course, but it is a feature, not a bug in the US ...
Trump is a showman who possesses zero qualities required of statesman, none of what is listed by Svechin as a minimum requirement, and as a result--no matter what is said, we are in the presence of a man-child afflicted by God-complex and utterly illiterate in military affairs and warfare, as is the case for the West's militaries on the so called "professional" level. There ARE NO strategists in the US on any level even remotely approaching levers of power and influence. The faces of American "strategists" are illiterate Keane, Kellogg or Petraeus. Carlson and Bannon better understand that and not agonize over a downright moron who finally adorned the White House. At least Biden had an excuse--he was a (barely) walking corpse. This is a process of unbecoming of a whole country which is nothing but Israel's slap-bitch. Support your local Christian Zionist, they wish you well, America.
Surprise, surprise (not really)! Trump, again, surrounded himself with the bunch of shysters such as sore loser Kellogg and a bunch of neocons who keep highly primitive geopolitical mind Trump in a complete darkness. When Lavrov and Ushakov speak like that, it means only thing--Donnie, you are being played for the fool that you are. But in the end--getting to the position of POTUS objectively requires what Alexandr Svechin wrote about 90 years ago in his seminal Strategy, I quote:
Trump doesn't satisfy ANY of those requirements. Not surprising from the guy who is a showman, and real estate shyster from NYC. That will be the topic of my today's video.
2. Trump cannot be the "only guy", because he as POTUS together with the US is a co-BELLIGERENT on the side of 404 in the conflict with Russia. The only thing he could do was to stop bloodshed in his first 100 days, he didn't. He thought he was smart--he is not. It is his war now.
He evidently understood it, hence his outbursts. Meanwhile, down the memory lane to 2023 with the first Patriot PAC3 "being slightly damaged". Classic--first shooting as much of a package as possible at something, then the arrival of Kinzhal and then uncontrolled shoot-off of missiles due to detonation.
... for 30 minutes straight. Pay attention to Kellogg's "assessment" of SMO from 3 years ago--mind you, this guy commanded NATO's Special Operations. He obviously has no clue about warfare, which automatically qualifies him for ... Trump's "special envoy for 404". Pardon my French, but this all is a fucking circus in the West. Embarrassing.
... is possible only with victors--combined West is a loser in the war. Keith Kellogg's wet dreams about dividing 404 are directly from the WW II and Yalta 1.0 in which the US and GB were VICTORS. But then again--Kellogg is old, neocon and, most importantly, he is an American general which makes him not fit for any kind of real war activities. I make an excurse into wonderful London War Diaries of Mollie Panter-Downes to contrast attitudes in WW II and today. Recall famous Truman's inhuman remark: “If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.” This is how Anglo-Saxon "elites" think. And these are almost exactly the words of Minister Colonel Moore-Brabazon--it created a shitstorm among regular hard working and hard fighting British folks in 1941.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
... a naval war in Baltics. Russia will oblige; do NATO navies want to be sunk in Baltic Sea? As was stated many times--Russia is ready for war with NATO. Just some trivia fact: additional 14 divisions are being formed in Russia as we speak. If you think that this is for SMO, I have a bridge to sell you. Per Kellogg's "mission"--again, there is NO mission, and no one is fit in the US to deal with this.
... on many occasions--there never was any plan re: 404. Now, consider this "envoy" guy Kellogg who lives in alternative military-political universe. Now imagine this representative of the Army which never won a war since 1945 going to do "envoying" business with Russians. Guess who Russians could have brought to listen to him. Let's start with people from the General Staff--so, can you imagine this amateur stating his risible casualties' numbers fed to him directly from Kiev? He will be laughed out of the room. Anything Russia related, especially SMO is beyond his league. So, what does Kellog do? Yep, he calls on Putin's resignation. Or as George cleverly defines Kellogg--a Cereal Killer.
Kellogg wouldn't be able to command a brigade in Russian Army, can you imagine if he ever meets Gerasimov or Rudskoi. They will look at him as a flea. Trump needs to find some competent people as his envoys, not some sore loser and BSer, if he wants to have any meaningful discussion.
How "surprising", not. And while some of DJT's domestic efforts could be lauded, he and his "foreign policy" team remain utterly unfit for serious geopolitics in the context of superpowers' business. Enough has been stated about Keith Kellogg already--a typical US general, militarily illiterate, with wowsing losing record and with feeble understanding of the geopolitical and warfare realities. There are no others in the US Army as the US generals' corps so aptly demonstrated publicly by constantly embarrassing itself in media.
RT, however, as was the case with Mr. Lavrov's statements to the ambassadors from Africa, when RT completely ignored the main thrust of Lavrov's speech about the West, also "interprets" Ryabkov's words somewhat "freely". In reality Ryabkov's statement is much harsher:
Translation:"We have repeatedly said that they [relations between Russia and the US] are balancing on the brink of a rupture".
There is a huge fucking difference between "strain" and "rupture", but evidently RT thinks that it is free to interpret things the way they want, not how they are. But then again ... And yes, the US IS a party to the conflict in 404, it is directly involved while hiding behind the backs of 404 cannon fodder.
There never was any "plan", because it cannot exist--the only plan is to surrender or be beaten into utter humiliation. 1st Cavalry Division "training". Commodore makes only one mistake--damn the torpedoes, go to Zircon.
Trump's rhetoric and chest thumping is not helping his chances to save US's face in this clusterfuck of a situation. I speak about it in my new video today, and especially about Boltium in the time when Trump was sanctioning Russia left and right and was boasting about him being the most anti-Russian POTUS. Russians have a good memory.
Especially WHEN and IF he gets real numbers on everything in 404. Kellogg is a stooge as many American generals are per no less than American general, no less. So, do not blame me for this general confirming what I was saying for many years.
Here is an example of John Mearsheimer talking to Col. Daniel Davis today and starting immediately with the right conclusion based on a completely false premise. See for yourself--this is the start of the discussion.
He is absolutely correct stating that Trump will not get ceasefire, but it is not because "Russians are on the roll". Here we have, AGAIN, a complete confusion re: Russia's intentions and how General Staff works. For starters, Russians were on the roll the moment in 2023 it became clear that not only much touted "counteroffensive" has been defeated (with up to 200 000 casualties for VSU and their NATO curators), but because of HOW it was defeated--VSU forces have been demolished in the forefield (a "security zone" per the US Army's Field Manuals). Let's rewind back to January 6, 2023, Orthodox Christmas time. Here is Dmitry Medvedev verbatim:
I think it is clear that in 2023, and that was even before catastrophic "counteroffensive", that Russians have anticipated this suicidal move on part of Washington, and it was after this disaster for Washington and Kiev that General Staff issued forecast, extremely precise, that VSU lost any ability to conduct strategic offensive operations (in Russian). They still could do suicidal PR actions such as invasion of Kursk Oblast, where they lost a whole combined arms army, but for some reason most American "realists" and "experts" never studied Eastern Front in WW II properly (hard to do so in the West) and missed completely Russian Army setting into the strategic defense in the end of the 2022 which was the worst possible news for NATO planners who, due to them being mostly educated on Hollywood movies such as Patton, did not recognize that Russians haven't been into this business to capture territory--they are in this business for physical annihilation of the enemy, while preserving own forces.
And it was after the strategic catastrophe of VSU in 2023 that it became absolutely clear that there will be not any "ceasefires" nor any "negotiations". Moreover, it is difficult to explain to people who grew up on American post-Vietnam military mythology (such as John Mearsheimer) that American war metrics simply do not apply to SMO, especially when for many in the US it becomes a complete revelation that Russian Army never lost operational initiative. So, the argument, that Russians are on a roll is merely an outdated geographic metric which obscures real reasons for no ceasefire. Here are the numbers again--they are beyond the grasp of any graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College:
Translation:Moscow.February 20. INTERFAX.RU - The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the counteroffensive in 2023 amounted to over 166 thousand servicemen, more than 800 tanks, almost 2.4 thousand combat armored vehicles, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu."Having deployed such huge forces, the enemy did not even manage to reach the first line of defense. The first line of defense, and there are two more of them. Having lost 166 thousand killed and wounded, (...) more than 800 tanks, almost 2,400 combat armored vehicles," Shoigu said in an interview with Russian journalists.Shoigu also said that Russian troops destroyed more than half of the Leopard tanks supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
That's the main reason and that is what being on the roll is. Some time, I think, they have issues with basic math.
Highlighted in yellow (in fact the whole column) is the main reason why there will be no ceasefire. This is also why I question basic military professional skills of Kellogg, who believed Kiev's propaganda BS about losses. They know very little about real war and they are terrified of a moment when they will have to face a reality--reality of who they are, not to mention always huge issues with causality.
Translation:MOSCOW, January 19 — RIA Novosti.The SWIFT system should be abandoned to avoid information leaks, VTB CEO Andrey Kostin said in an interview that journalist Pavel Zarubin published on his Telegram channel."SWIFT should be simply killed, in a good sense of the word, abandoned and no longer used. This is a direct leak of information to our enemies <…> and the main thing is that it is so easy to solve — it is a purely administrative decision, an agreement between the two parties and a few technological solutions, that's all," Kostin said.Several years ago, SWIFT was the main system for processing payments — almost all banking transactions in the world went through it.But in 2014, when Western countries first threatened to disconnect Russia from the system, large countries began to create alternatives.The Financial Message Transfer System (SPFS) appeared in Russia.
As Medvedev pointed out (collective) Biden had no clue what he was getting the combined West into. Many still don't, including in this blog, continuing to discuss things which are not there, such as totally made-up (in their vivid imaginations) intentions of Russia and her military-political top. But never mind, now this creep from Biden's NSA (likely an illiterate "intel" asset), Eric Green, does what all of them do best--lies.
The CYA (Cover Your Ass) has started in earnest. Washington is seeded with credentialed cretins who do not understand the scale of crime against humanity and war crimes they committed. And this is a rare point where I and Scott diverge--Russians have no reverence for war criminals be them from CIA or political top and here is someone who stands by her words, since this is the official Moscow's position.
Translation:The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that those guilty of atrocities against residents of the Kursk region will be punished, but there is no point in relying on international structures in this matter.According to her, international organizations continue to ignore the mass murder of civilians committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis and refuse to investigate the crimes of the Kyiv regime, RIA Novosti reports.Zakharova noted that the West, encouraging the Kiev regime, pretends not to notice the gross violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions."This is exactly what the states of the collective West expect from the Banderites. They cynically look away from their criminal acts," she said.Russian investigative bodies will take all necessary actions to identify the perpetrators, and they will receive the punishment they deserve.Zakharova added that this will happen similarly to many other crimes of the Kyiv regime that have been identified."We will do it ourselves," she confidently stated.
Identities of people, from the top military-political echelon down to ground level "advisers" from MI6, CIA, Polish orgs etc. are largely known--they aided Nazis and atrocities, and I don't buy for a second those stories about super cool CIA or Special Forces dudes who can face down the "toughest" enemies. They can't. This issue will be (with a very high probability) discussed between Russia and the US, or rather for starters with this Kellogg dude who knows about real war as much as I know about Chinese choreography. I am sure he will watch Rambo movies prior to talking to Russians to update himself on current events.
