The Brave Russians and their Mighty Military

[Ringo]

Russia being mired in a war draining resources is a bad thing?

Next time some terrorist gang drops a couple or more skyscrapers on your head again, I hope Russia will not be as sympathetic and helpful as last time.

Are you serious? This isn't the first time the US has used war and oil prices to weaken Russia. And it won't be the last.

Q. How many blatant war crimes are you allowed to not only commit, but admit that you planned and succeeded in if you are the United States Govt or one of their proxies like Israel, Ukraine, and the terrorist groups they've supported over the years?
A. As many as you want to

Life is unfair. Expect to make sacrifices.

Brilliant weaponization of transparency


Ukraine once again playing chess with russian paranoia.

In a recent article, I argued that the brilliance of Operation Spider’s Web wasn’t just in its technical execution or physical damage — it was in the psychological and economic disruption it unleashed.

1/n

2/ Ukraine didn’t hide the details of the mission. Instead, it laid them bare, weaponizing transparency.

The result? Paranoia as policy.
3/ Every russian cargo truck is now a potential threat. Every driver — a suspect. After the operation, traffic jams paralyzed places like Irkutsk as russian authorities scrambled to inspect shipments.
4/ Surveillance units were redirected. Highways clogged. Logistics — both military and civilian — began to stall. Trust in contractors evaporated. Internal collapse began… not with explosions, but with suspicion.
5/ And today, Ukraine deployed the same strategy again — this time, against the Crimean Bridge.
6/ Right after the strike, Ukrainian special services issued a statement: “The FIRST explosive device was activated.” One sentence — and now russian engineers are combing every pillar in a panic, wondering what else might be hidden.
7/ This is asymmetric warfare, Ukrainian-style. Ukraine doesn’t need to match russia plane-for-plane. It only needs to force russia to doubt the integrity of its own systems.
8/ When a state starts doubting its own infrastructure, it begins to implode from the inside.

The Kremlin — Snared by the Spider’s Web
Ukraine’s bold and unprecedented drone attack on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet has done far more than material damage.

Russian Foreign Intelligence Service:
NATO is urging Ukraine to stage a diversionary attack with casualties among Ukrainians and Europeans, similar to the MH17 plane crash.

You were born too late, you would have found a nice place in Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda.

"Joseph Goebbels used the Ardennes offensive (December 1944–January 1945) as a propaganda tool to boost the morale of the German people, presenting it as a heroic “last stand.” He claimed that the operation would turn the tide of war, defeat the Allies, and force them to sue for peace, despite the hopeless situation on the Eastern Front.

Key aspects of Goebbels' propaganda about the Ardennes:
Hope for a breakthrough: In his diaries and speeches, Goebbels supported Hitler's idea that a lightning strike in the West would restore Germany's strategic initiative.
Secrecy and audacity: The propaganda emphasized the surprise nature of the attack, designed to disrupt the Allies' plans in Belgium.

Ignoring reality: Goebbels tried to silence the fact that the resources for the offensive (tanks, fuel) were taken from the already collapsing Eastern Front and the offensive was merely an attempt to delay inevitable defeat.

Ultimately, despite initial successes, the operation failed, and Goebbels' propaganda expectations of a turning point in the war did not materialize, hastening the collapse of the Third Reich."

Please tell me you aren't dumb enough to bleev. . .

"Putin is going to lose this genocidal invasion."

The whole reason the peace negotiations are going so badly, is that Ukraine and Europe have no more cards to play.

The only thing that will save Ukraine at this point, is giving the Russians everything they want in peace talks. Either that, or for the EU to declare war on Russia. We know that while Trump is president, the US would not join them in a global war. . .
