When I read “Russian disinformation campaign”, it makes me think, what ‘campaign’, the entire State is a flood of disinformation. Im sure it is active in the subversion of western societies en mass. Kicking the new liberals that further along into being unprincipled and tolerant of mostly everything. It’s a wicked State to the core. No coincidence the world changed completely at 911, after Mr Putin came to power in 1999. Take the Russian regime out and most of the problems of the west simply go away.
I hadn’t been in this thread for a little while and just caught up. Thank you @Magnus for your efforts to keep us informed. I’m glad Ukraine is at least inflicting some damage, and quite deep into Russia too. Hopefully they will be backed to do more of that so the Russians feel it more, that it might cause some positive spark for change.
We’re now in the meaning of ‘most’. Have a look at Yuri Bezomov’s lectures on Youtube, he as much admits it. A KGB defector. The west has created a lot of problems for itself yes. Its generational demise is predominately external though, coupled with, an internal and naive receptiveness. But the nexus of Neo-liberalism, and neutrality liberalism, is on course to bring it down, if not unabated.
thank you @magnus for the updates. Sad state of affairs over there, the West simply doesn’t have the want or the means for taking on BRICS in a proxy war.
I find it hilarious that it’s okay for Russia to enlist foreign nationals as soldiers-for-hire in their own army, but Ukraine isn’t allowed to do the same. I wonder if what’s holding the West back from engaging, is the knowledge that there are 2.5 BILLION people between China and India alone.
When it comes to a ground war, if those two countries ever decided to get involved on Russia’s side it would be over relatively quickly just based off numbers.
The defenders in the city are no longer under operational encirclement(Ru fire control and making logistics almost impossible), they are now basically besieged https://x.com/Bielitzling/status/1990009493308977312
Meanwhile, an even worse stratigic military disaster is happening in zaporizhzhia, where the Russians are rolling up the front from the flanks and have advanced 10s of km.
Don’t have time to post about that. But I have warned about this for over a year and now it is happening. This is how atrritional wars are. Slow, slow, slow; then rupture and the weaker side loses control, allowing breakthroughs. UA is in absolute desperate shortage of manpower since years now.
