My head was full of questions, theories, answers and advice. But most importantly, I couldn't understand why it [the disagreement within the corridors of power in Russia with the way the Ministry of Defence is handling the military operation in Ukraine - SZ] went public?
I do not believe that Kadyrov and Prigozhin do not have a channel to communicate with Putin past Gerasimov. I do not believe that Putin does not have "his own people" in the Ministry of Defense who do not create a double- or triple- channel for informing about what is happening. Yes, a banal analysis of open sources makes it clear that not everything is glamorous in our "Emerald City" of khaki...
That is, it is nonsense that "public appeals" to the people are an attempt to break through the information blockade around the President. Then what is the goal? The goal is obvious - to prepare public opinion for certain upcoming events. 3 versions come to mind.....
Version 1:
A "purely military plan" - the essence of which is simple, to pull the UAF into an attack on "its territory", home, where, as they say, the walls help. And strike, strike and strike. Yes, this process must be constantly fuelled - so that the enemy goes forward on the rake regardless of losses, they need to be given a "victory".
Kiev loves selfies at the expense of bloodshed, so let them do it! Napoleon was even given Moscow for the same reasons. But his army was taken away. Inflating the "betrayal" concerning the Ministry of Defence may also be part of this trap. I cannot assure you that this is exactly the case. I have no understanding of the losses of the parties, if I am right, then the UAF should have a multiple more.
If this version is correct, then a big counterattack using what remains of the army of the enemy is a matter of time. In favour of this version:
- Liman, and before that, Izyum and Balakleya did not receive significant reinforcements, although there were reserves, decent ones at that. They are still there.
- A whole layer of weapons is not used, although they are there and even moved closer.
- The Ukrainian infrastructure is not being destroyed, it's as if we deliberately let the UAF "advance".
There are morons in the General Staff, the fate of the weak-minded. Even a moron understands that the bigger the hammer, the harder it hits.
Version 1.1 (supplement):
Yes, we have lost Izyum, Liman, etc. So? Did Ukraine win? No. Have we lost the war? No. And if we had captured Kharkov, Kiev, Lvov and Odessa, would we have won? Also no. The Anglo-Saxons would not have gone anywhere. They would simply have thrown the Poles and Balts under our feet, then Germans, French and Spaniards. It would be their version of "Version 1", only the stakes are higher. Not Balakleya, but Kharkov, not Izyum, but Kiev. Not Liman, but Lvov. Not Lisichansk, but Warsaw.
It's possible to play this game together. Yankees and Brits can do it too. They have the experience of the two World Wars. They will not blink an eye so that Europe and Russia kill each other, and they would come and finish off the "winner". Nothing new, and if so, then the current war is not about the seizure and retention of territories.
READ: "Smelchak" With a Bouquet of "Tulpan" Destroys the Defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Therefore, absolutely to hell with whatever flag is over Liman, this or that city at a moment in time! It only matters "how many lives and equipment this flag cost" for the parties. Whoever lost the most lost, even if they raised their flag... in the next village.
Version 2 - "The Great Resource War":
So, we have decided that it is not the territories in pure square hectares and individual settlements that are the value of this war. And we should defeat not Ukraine and Kiev, but Brussels and Washington. But if so, the military way along the "highway" Krasny Liman - Izyum - Kiev - Brussels - London - Washington. If this is primarily nonsense, then how are we going to WIN? And we are going to win, without any doubt.
And not against the UAF and Ukraine, but against all of NATO and the EU with the United States. How can this be done? Obviously, there is only one way. Through the collapse of the Western economy! There is no other way!
The enemy has to spend their resources a lot more than we do! They should run out of them sooner! Resources in a broad sense: gas, oil, weapons, people, etc. The French "Caesar" or German "Gepard" that are destroyed by Donbass are not only an irretrievably lost military unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but millions of kilowatts of energy that were required for its production. And which not just the UAF lost, but directly France, Germany or the Czech Republic.
An attempt to create a new piece of equipment in conditions of energy shortage and at new energy prices is for NATO countries is like having sex with a rattlesnake, and in a passive role too.
Yes, the process is not fast - it will take time, but it's strategically correct. We have no other method than to reach directly for the throat of the enemy, through Ukraine, except through energy. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the same Liman not through hectares of territory, but through burned kilowatts.
I am more than sure that the UAF during the offensive, under the artillery and aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, crowded at Liman, really suffered losses many times more than Russia'. Translate them into kilowatts, translate these kilowatts into EU prices, and ask yourself the question:
"The UAF and NATO definitely 'won' near Krasny Liman?"
Personally, I'm not at all sure...
In such a war, territories are also evaluated in terms of resource and energy potential. Yes, it's cynical, but that's why Crimea, Kherson, Zaparozhye, Donbass are already in Russia - these are resource-profitable regions. Izyum, Liman, etc. were exchanged for the lives of Ukrainians and NATO kilowatts.
And I don't need snot in the comments below this text about poor, peaceful people who were abandoned and betrayed by the "bad" Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. I have already learned this tactic of Ukrainian governmental psyops. War is cynical sh*t, not a macrame circle. But this is a barrel of honey, a fly in the ointment will be next...
Version 3 - "Socio-structural":
I.e. the deliberate creation of "uncomfortable living conditions" for individuals or entire social groups that will force them to leave Russian society, or Russian state structures and social institutions. There is absolutely no doubt that this is an important factor for the full development of the country. This approach is more effective and widespread than the use of personalised enforcement tools.
Indeed, we need to defeat not Ukraine, and not even the EU, along with the USA. Victory over them will come by itself, if we do the main thing, we will be able to understand ourselves! Find weak and rotten links, defective areas. Replace them, fix them, throw them away.
There is neither good nor evil in this. No need to heap burning coals of shame on one's head or trumpet hymns of praise, to go to extremes.
It just needs to be done to make the SYSTEM work! The most successful business structures periodically conduct stress tests on a variety of topics. You will be surprised, but almost always errors, mistakes and screw-ups pop up. Sometimes they are significant, sometimes not. Sometimes the person responsible for this flies out of the company like a cork from a bottle of champagne. Sometimes, they get a slap on the head, sometimes a bonus.
The "Special Military Operation" is also a stress test! Only on the scale of the largest state in the world by area. Held FOR THE FIRST TIME in 80 years! Do you think we should be able to do everything smoothly? No - that would be fantasy. Just counting on it is stupid. But it is also a crime to keep silent or stuff such a thing under the carpet, because the value of a stress test is precisely in identifying and correcting errors, anyone who prevents this is a criminal!
Strategically, the "cunning plan" to cleanse society works quite well:
- Outright traitors are either sat in jail or fled the country;
- Some businessmen rushed to the West to their money, others brought the money to Russia;
- Some "stars" went to the hospital, and to hell with the others;
- With the beginning of the announcement of the "Special Military Operation", and then mobilisation, society regurgitated a huge number of cowards and scoundrels;
8 months is a more than sufficient period of time to look at the "combat path" of each official, officer and general and analyse it personally for professional suitability.
And I don't need to hear phrases like "And before this it was impossible?"
I have been engaged in personnel security for 12 years and I can state with full responsibility: "Only practical activity shows the real level of training!" No tests, service checks, exercises give a complete picture. Fools disguise themselves very well. Yes, unfortunately we have already learned that...
Borisov - crappily organised the state defence order and went for a hard downgrade. The former deputy in the rear of the Ministry of Defence Bulgakov turned out to be weak and incompetent. Similar things will continue to happen.
Moreover, objectively, the Ministry of Defence needs a "generational change", one can appreciate the experience of generals aged 60+, but most of them stupidly do not know how to work with a computer or any modern gadgets. And do you expect them to digitalise the battlefield and network-centric warfare? They should have crayons, pencils and paper maps - here is the thing! That's just not how wars are fought anymore.
And it's time for a very significant layer of the Russian military leadership to retire. If you think that you are able to be useful - then have the position of "adviser". And this is not a stone in the garden of the Ministry of Defence - it's just that now it's in focus. This applies to all departments of Russia, where people aged 60+ rule.
Kadyrov, Prigozhin, many senior officers and young generals understand this, but they can't do anything. Any law enforcement agency is a "fighting brotherhood of elders" who hold onto a chair for a banal reason. They don't know how to do anything, and nobody needs them in civilian life!
If to not take "resonant cases", when the "best" arrive in their position not though hard work, then ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES work at a speed for which in a normal business structure you would be thrown out of the window in a week at most. The level of flexibility is close to zero!
Unless a person has experience in business, and Kadyrov, Prigozhin do. I am not at all surprised that such people are missing from the "decision-making system" in the Ministry of Defence and in other structures.
Therefore YES! I definitely agree that:
a) a radical rejuvenation of the command staff of law enforcement agencies is necessary;
b) the dilution of this "closed club of pensioners" with fresh blood from other departments.
We need real social elevators within the military system. In the civil sphere, this is somehow happening: the School of Governors, Leaders of Russia, etc., etc. There is no such thing in any siloviki department.
As a result, there is everywhere the height of old age, which is simply behind the times, but does not want to humble itself and admit it. The "Special Military Operation" showed that they simply cannot keep pace and have time to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
And it's not about Lapin, Kadyrov or Prigozhin. Everything is much more complicated. And yes, these stables need to be raked.
Can we win without it? Probably yes! And the fact that these questions began to be raised is correct.
THIS is much more important than the victory over Ukraine. We will solve problems and we will win everywhere! We will defeat anyone!

"Here are some very reassuring and multi-polar comments from Denis Logunov, the deputy director of the famous Gamaleya Center (the big-brains behind Russia’s original unproven genetic slurry, Sputnik V): [Link]
'The technology of mRNA vaccines has a very important advantage: it can be administered at least every month … Here is the natural limitation of vector vaccines, which you cannot administer more than once every six months, because antibodies appear, they must decrease. Six months—this is the minimum, the ideal period between two injections. <...> Therefore, this decision was made, by order of the director [Sputnik V Papa Bear Alexander Gintsburg], a laboratory group was created to develop such [mRNA] vaccines . Here I will present you our new data regarding the mRNA platform,” he said. ' Logunov said that mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer or Moderna give strong immunity after three to four vaccinations.
Imagine saying these insane things in September 2022 .
Actually, it’s easy to imagine because the Gamaleya Center has always been in love with mRNA shots, [Link] nd has long advocated for creating clot-shot cocktails with Big Pharma. [Link]
TASS continues:
'[Logunov] added that experiments were being carried out on intramuscular, intravenous, nasal and intratracheal administration. Following the lecture, Logunov said that the industrial production in Russia of the mRNA vaccine, which is currently being developed by the Gamaleya Center, can be organized with the purchase or development of specific equipment. Now the vaccine is being developed at the facilities of the center .'
Fascinating. It’s nice to know that even while facing 10,000+ sanctions, Russia still might be able to purchase the necessary equipment to produce its own mRNA goo. (The Gamaleya Center has lots of experience working with third party contractors. It even paid mysterious unnamed manufacturers, using delicious US dollars, to provide doses of “Sputnik V” that it was supposed to be making itself.)
Joyous news. This will certainly help with Russia’s plummeting birthrate [Link] and ongoing demographic crisis. [Link]
Gotta wonder if there is a prize to the country most successful in the commission of genocide...
Best not keep ears perked for sweet words of talk that talk, at the expense of blinded eyes that can't see whether they walk the walk...
There is no doubt scientists are practicing scientism everywhere. They would all attend the same seminars would they not? Our media is still saying get boosted.
all jabbed, are no longer a pure blood human, there a fkn experiment
anyone else notice, the last 9 months, many are just fkn mad, suicidal, and outright angry..
maybe this is that, those upstairs want, to basically just kill each other off.. in the meantime destroying our father gods many houses,
this earth is one of gods house, just look at the mess, an recently, mass oceanic pollution, northern hemispheric gas addition,
in time, it shall all settle down into millions if not billions fo lungs, of animals, marine life and yes, the primate in clothes that dress and use vehicles,
maybe be another 2 yrs if still here, may call it covid fkn 99
just cant believe the mass amount of global political bullshit, amassing, and the sheeple believing it
wish the pple would unite, go to the nearest gov centre, drag em all out, ministers an all, and just hang the lot like the old school romans did, get rid of the bullshitters, the deceivers and the greedy rich to kill of the average battler..
dreams are free right.. ffs.

"...This new form of mandatory vaccination is far more extreme than what Russia previously had. Pre-mobilization, mandatory vaccination was typically tied to employment status. Because of this, the Kremlin repeatedly (and pathetically) claimed there was no “true” compulsory vaccination in Russia, since you could always quit your job.
Mobilized Russians face 10 years in prison if they try to evade military service. By extension, this means attempting to avoid mandatory vaccination could result in a decade behind bars.
In other words, Russia has just adopted one of the world’s strictest coercive injection policies.
Russians are being asked to risk their lives in an increasingly dubious war in Ukraine, and in return they are being forcibly injected with an unproven (and most likely expired) genetic slurry..."
But never mind... Just keep your eyes on the Great Satan in the West, and your ears peeled to what sweet words come pouring from the mouths of those who seemingly oppose the Great Satan... Deception my friends. They all lie, the controllers, and they seek to kill you.
He says it's not mandatory. Hes an english bloke living in russia. I believe him.
He works there and isn't pricked.
Whats your beef? Usa pricked theirs too right?
And yes death to ardern/horseface and all woke twats like her.
I'll tell you something. When i'm in nature alone, i'm at peace. When i'm around people, i'm not. But that's just me.
can it get any more mental..
1) All the cowards, pacifists, fifth columnists, oligarchs and traitors are fleeing Russia, as the Western media tells us with undisguised glee. The writer's reply? Good! Good riddance! Go, already! Russia does not need you! -- A very good point. Those that remain will fight for Russia, instead of being nay-sayers and useless eaters needing to be fed and sustained.
2) The Russian armies are getting priceless training in a real battle, which no amount of drills and practice can substitute for. After this, Russian forces will be tough, smart, and used to real, bloody combat. None of the NATO armies will have had the benefit of such experience.
3) The purpose of the call-up may, perhaps, not be because Russian forces are being decimated in the fight against Ukraine, and more cannon fodder is needed, but rather, the call-up may be to train over a million other Russian men in real combat, to toughen them, and to turn them into a real battle-hardened fighting force, which the West does not have.
4) The call-up may also be for the purposes of an army of occupation in the newly acquired territories - an army which will keep law and order, defend against Ukrainian attempts to re-occupy the now Russian territories, and to assist in rebuilding roads, buildings, and other infrastructure. A huge labor force will be needed for this reconstruction, which Putin has promised.
5) Russia has everything it needs to re-arm and rebuild its military expenditures, including abundant energy, whereas Europe and NATO, because of sanctions against Russia, will be lacking in energy and resources to re-supply its armies with new equipment, having sent all their stockpiles to Ukraine.
6) The realities of modern war will sweep away the gerontocracy in the Russian military leadership, those who cannot think in terms of cyber-warfare and propaganda and electronic weapons, and replace them with younger and more capable men.
7) As regards the battle itself, as Putin says, "We have not even started yet." Russia has the capability to totally crush Ukraine, and turn it into an uninhabitable icebox in the coming winter. Perhaps Putin does not want to do this to a nation which was the cradle of Russian civilization, but, if his hand is forced, he may just do that, to save the lives of his young men and his new citizens in the four new regions.
8) Finally, while the Western press notes with glee that Russia is losing population, which as mentioned is no great loss, those people being cowards, anti-patriots, and useless bodies it does not need anyway, Russia has just gained 5 million or more new and enthusiastic citizens, (not even counting those who already fled to refuge over the border,) as well as all the resources and minerals in those regions. It does not sound to me like Russia is losing horribly, as the Western media and their paid pundits have declared. Rather, it sounds to me like Russia is becoming stronger month by month, both economically and militarily.
One more thing - my own proposal, which of course Mr. Putin will never read - Russia should announce a bonus of $10,000 in cash to any German willing to move to Russia, together with a year's free accommodation, a year's food allowance, free tuition in the Russian language, and a fast-track to dual German-Russian citizenship. I would bet tens of thousands of young Germans would jump at the deal.

Killing 2 birds with 1 stone: destroy the army, the only institution that could stand in the way of the QR smart city 4th industrial revolution, and poison another 300,000 thousand healthy men. and if the jab doesn't kill them the war will. the betrayal is so monumental it makes one feel physically sick...
US DoD whistleblowers claim huge spikes in miscarriages, cancer, and myocarditis since Covid vaccine roll out at Senate panel debate
According to three U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) whistleblowers, there have been disturbing spikes in incidences of cancer, myocarditis, and miscarriages after the distribution of experimental...Horowitz: Whistleblowers share DOD medical data that blows vaccine safety debate wide open
Data, transparency, and surveillance. That is what has been missing from the greatest experiment on humans of all time throughout this pandemic. Now, military medical whistleblowers have come...I am not sure what is going on in Russia in this regard. This is one possible option. Jabbing those 300.000 reservists will surely have almost no effect on the current war.
I would think all three versions are valid to some degree.
may God bless all, on all sides, for the ignorance they are about to engage in..
