Russia is going for a second winter offensive and its
target is destroying the energy facilities of Ukraine, the Achilles heel
of the enemy. Russia is going to bring Zelenskyy on his knees with its
assault on Ukraine's energy sector during the Winter, which if it is
harsh, will be detrimental. The assault by Russia on Ukraine's energy
sector in 2022 was not that damaging in view of the mild winter that
year. This may be different this time around.
With oil trading
at more than US$90 a barrel, Russian oil is still flowing to the EU
despite the sanctions, albeit under different cover after mixing eg with
names such as Nigerian crude, of which the EU countries are paying
through their noses. China, India, Saudi Arabia are laughing all the way
to the bank, getting discounted Russian oil to sell at huge profits.
The fact that this is really going on is making Zelenskyy raving mad
that the sanctions on Russia is not working. What can he do, but just
howl like a rabid dog.
And Zelenskyy is still high on drugs,
demanding that Russia must withdraw from every inch of Ukraine before he
will negotiate. He does not understand the meaning of 'Beggars can't be
choosers'. Russia is not going to give up Crimea. Not even if there is a
gun pointed at Putin's head.
Sure the MSM may be right about
Russia loosing lots of weapons in Ukraine, but so does the USA, Nato and
Ukraine themselves. It is reported that their weapons stockpile are in
jeopardy. Destroying those Uranium tainted shells in Ukraine is going to
be a long term health hazard, more for ordinary Ukrainians than the
Russians. And the use of cluster bombs is going to cause long term
issues just like the mines in Vietnam and the legacy of Agent Orange.
The USA is not going to suffer those consequences, but Ukraine will.

At the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called Ukrainian proposals for restoring its pre-invasion territory “unrealisable” and said that if Ukraine’s allies want war, they can have it.
ReplyDelete‘Let’s decide it on the battlefield’
Western nations openly say that “Russia should be defeated on the battlefield,” Moscow’s top diplomat said, adding that Moscow is ready for such a development. “Under such circumstances, [if they want it] to be on the battlefield, let it be on the battlefield,” he said.
The USA is on the verge of shutting down, and yet thinks it can fight a war with Russia thousands of miles away. On the other side of the world, the USA is going all out to squeeze China, wanting to supply arms to Vietnam now. China needs to do the same to Myanmar in case ASEAN, under the coercion of the USA, decides to take action against the Myanmar Military Regime.
ReplyDeleteIn this world, no wonder they say there are no permanent friends, only permanent enemies.
'Russia should be defeated on the battlefied'. Isn't Ukraine already their battlefield, with more than thirty countries together fighting Russia alone and yet gaining little advantage.
ReplyDeleteWestern nations are run by infantile minds, posturing like gangsters and barking like rabid dogs. Justin Trudeau is a joke. Annalena Baerbock is another joke. Suffice to say, the whole collective West thrives on the ramblings of clowns like Zelenskyy. Birds of a feather works together.
Russia knows that the only language the terrorists and gangsters understand is force. So they are ready to take them on. Silly little state like Ukraine and those in Nato think they can pick a fight with Russia with the American terrorists backing them from behind. Putin is going to teach them a lesson they would not forget.
ReplyDeleteThe terrorist Americans are doing the same in East and South East Asia, encouraging the silly small states to pick a fight with China. China must adopt the same way to deal with these silly little states in East Asia and SE Asia. Small states are small states. But some small states are silly states with silly leaders that think they can behave like American gangsters. They must be kicked their asses real hard for them to wake up their silly ideas.
China and Russia are not for them to push around. Want to punch above the weight of their two tiny balls? When Russia and China hit back, their balls will shrink.
See how many hundreds of billions the American and Nato terrorists are pouring into Ukraine for a war with the Russians when a small bit of the billions could do so much for Africa and smaller nations of the Global South. But no, war is more important to the terrorists and assistance to the poorer countries in need of aids.
ReplyDeleteUSA is pushing for war, knowing it still has 'unlimited money printing privileges' to support those 800 military bases and keep up its spending on military logistics and manpower.
ReplyDeleteChina, Russia, Iran and the Global South among others are pushing for de-dollarisation, which hits at the 'Achilles Heel' of the USA's military power. The USA Military's global spread is to protect the sanctity of the US$ hegemony. The USA knows that the end of US$ hegemony means the end of its military power as well. It will then have to behave like the Brits, just posturing and pretending to be still a global superpower that everyone ignores.
What the USA's military existed for is to take down any rising power, big or small, competing against or trying to change the status quo of the US$ hegemony. Iraq and Libya are perfect examples of what the USA's military power stood for. Having bases in host countries, professing to protect them against imaginery enemies, is just pulling wool over unsuspecting eyes.
Now, Russia and China are not like the former Soviet Union, which lacks a strong leader and strategically was not on the same wavelength as China then. Diplomatic relations only resumed after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, then under Mikhail Gorbachev. The Ukraine War was the result of Gorbachev's naive trust of the West.
Relations between Russia and China resumed after the fall of the Soviet Union and really improved during Putin's watch, thanks to the USA's help in pushing Russia into China's corner. Two nuclear superpower, in their own right, coming together is no pushover for the USA. That is also why North Korea is still standing even with its minute stockpile of nuclear deterrents, and that is why Iran is so keen to join the nuclear club.
The USA cannot continue its war mongering without the support of the US$ hegemony. Therefore, getting rid of the US$ hegemony is the only way to stop the USA's ability to fund its war mongering activities.
This coming war, if it starts, and that is now almost a certainty, is to protect the US$ hegemony, which is a do or die mission for the USA. There is no other choice for the USA to avoid, if it is to remain the unipolar superpower. The only question is will it be a war of human annihilation, or will the USA choose to avoid total annihilation and settle for a multipolar existence.
It is common knowledger that fighting this war means the USA mainland is no longer safe, unlike the two previous wars. The USA mainland will face equal destruction as any other combatants. There may not even be winners or losers, but only ashes with everything turned into fossil fuel for the next human cycle.
It appears World War 3 has officially begun.
ReplyDeleteSaturday morning the Russian Army engaged a German-supplied Leopard Tank operating for the Ukraine army in Zaporozhye. The Russians hit the tank with an anti-tank guided missile. The tank blew up. The tank crew evacuated and were captured. The crew identified themselves as ACTIVE DUTY GERMAN ARMY TROOPS.
Thus, the actual Army of Germany has now been caught waging actual war against Russia inside official Russian territory, Zaporozhye.
It appears, on its face, NATO has just started World War 3; using the active-duty German Army to attack Russians.
Ukraine does not have the trained personnel to operate those missile launchers and tanks supplied by the USA and Nato. Untrained or under trained Ukrainian soldiers probably were responsible for a missile landing in a farm in Poland last year, just before the G20 meeting in Bali, that almost started a direct escalation involving Nato. As what is espoused by people like Brian Belectic and Scott Ritter, knowledgeable people who served with the army, training Ukrainian soldiers to operate effectively those missile launchers and tanks will take months just for basic familiarity, stretching to years, or even longer to be efficiently capable.
ReplyDeleteThat Nato is already involved directly had already been determined early during the war, when the Russians were trying to weed out those hidding inside a steel plant in Eastern Ukraine, which Kyiv tried so desperately to evacuate and losing several helicopters in the process, as well as many air crews. That so much effort was expanded to save those inside the steel plant indicates that personnel from other Western countries were among them, hidden underground and orchestrating the war in Donbass. Some were mercenaries actually, but claims were even made of important USA, UK and Nato military experts being among them, thus necessitating the daring failed rescue efforts.
With the F16s being said to be joining the war, they claimed they are training Ukrainian pilots to fly the F16s, which is all pulling wool over unsuspecting eyes. Either USA or Nato pilots have the skill and will be flying those birds. If Russia shoots down one bird and confirms that USA or Nato pilots are flying them, that will mean really serious escalation is on the cards.
