Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
If the statement by the “NRA” is true this marks the start of a civil war amongst the elite which may spread - and which side will the army, being decimated in Ukraine, take?
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Russian TV channel Tsargrad is now openly calling for the destruction of Ukraine and declaring “Russia cannot co-exist with Ukraine and on the same planet.”
The Russian resistance indicated to be the "NRA", presumably, the really really real NRA, sounds like a consequence of the great master plan by Putin the strategist. The callous indifference that Putin and his mob of gangsters have shown to the provinces in manning the Putin meat grinder, it is hardly a surprise that people get a bit peeved. There is a more surprising activity in Belorussia, where the actions of the resistance to the last Great European dictator have impacted Govt responses, but at a high cost. The Last Great may be getting near his use-by date. "...Last, Late Great..." ?.
Russian resistance will be aware that to get the attention of Mr V. Putin, the activity will need to ramp up within Moscow and St Pete's city limits, and that is indeed an unfortunate but foreseeable consequence of the cynical way of doing business that has become de rigueur of late.
If the RU TV talking heads want to find the "culprits", A.K.A. "heroic resistance to tyranny", it is their group that is enabling the actions of one man that will lead to resistance. Would think the talking heads would be wanting to be careful turning on their limos of a mornin'... "aye, there be dragons....".
There is a simple fix for this, Vlad, go home, take your remaining troops, care for them, and send them home. Recycle your T-72s to plows, they are not very good at their design task... clean up on aisle 13, pay for your breakages, Ukraine will take Master Card, Visa but not American Express (no one does) learn to read so you can honor your contracts, and go apologise to your conscript catchment regions, they want a bit of a word with you. Thereafter, take your loot, and your sycophants and go spend your days in Soichi, it's nice this time of year. Don't smoke in bed and be careful starting cars, as there are a lot of new Lada owners who are not too impressed with the circumstances surrounding your bargain with their former sons.
Not sure that Russia can stand much more of your success and glorious Special Summer Holidays.
There are self-aggrandizing, egocentric, amoral talking heads in apparently ever-increasing numbers all over the planet, and they have influence that far exceeds their competence or fidelity, they have become puppets for hire. Russia is oversubscribed to this propaganda, but the west has it's fair share too. Personally, as with Lord Haw Haw etc, they need to be held accountable, which includes a number of Mr Rupert's sociopathic bunch too in all fairness. The US 1st amendment doesn't give an unfettered right to deliberately espouse B/S and to proffer it to a populace that seems to have lost objectivity.

I was drafted to serve in that war and was inducted in Mobile, Alabama in December 1970 as my draft 'lottery' number was 69, which was not a pass. I reported in December 1970 for induction. I passed all the physical and mental tests and spent the night in a barracks with foolish people. I was sent home the next day as the draft had been over-called. I dodged the meat grinder, although my story is more complex. 'Nuf said. Good luck to the Russian grunts who are in the same situation. Sorry you're there, just say no.

This is starting to remind me of Vietnam. When the Russian draft happens we will see real resistance, but there is a large percentage who will support military activity regardless. It took an American TV news reporter, Walter Cronkite, saying on national news that it was over to really tip the scales with the Viet Nam war. This needs to happen with the Russians.

It's not often that I concur with the media, but in this instance, I do, that indeed, M V Putin, esq is the enemy of the State of Russia, and all efforts to provide a dispatch service for him by Russian's, to protect Russians from his attacks on Russian's, should be conduct, W.I.E., if not sooner.
It's impolite to hate Ukrainians for something that was in fact done by your own team, and which arises as a foreseeable consequence of the actions of the crime f
Does the NRA change the situation like Walter K did for the US in Viet Nam? I would think that they do, as there is now a direct threat from Russians to Russia, that are the direct consequence of the vampire in the crypt at the kremlin. At the same time, the potential for maintaining a disparate set of states under the thumb of the all mightly Russian forces has been somewhat tarnished, flambée'd, and otherwise diminished, reduced in limbs, increased in depth (fathoms) and generally distributed in an untidy manner around a peaceful neighboring country.
Russia started this entertainment with 120 of 174 odd BTG's, losing half of that number in the first 30 days as being effective. They regrouped, added equipment with more historical character, WW1, WW2, Korean, 5o's, 60's vintage pieces, to give more space in the museums for the latest equipment. With more than the 120 BTG still caught in the quagmire that is
Russia can choose to maintain Vlad's folly for the near future and lose every state that doesn't include the name Moscow or St Petersburg, or they can go to contestant #2, or some other solution to their rather untidy bed that has been made.
A simple Baysean-like review....
- Probability of Collapse of the Russian Federation? Unknown, but it ain't zero.
- Probability of a conventional win in the field against Ukraine at all? Closer to zero than 100%.
- Probability of taking over Ukraine and not losing the Federation? Unknown but close to zero.
- Probability of taking over Ukraine, and not having a 100-year guerilla war? Infinitesimal, e.g.,Plank scale stuff.
The OODA loop, of a united Ukraine vs a despotic and corrupt Russia, looks a lot like this IMHO:

That's just on response, effectiveness? That is more stark.

Latest attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam. Listen to the sound track, sounds like a full HIMARS salvo, and reportedly all landed within feet of each other.

They must be worried that one of them has a SAM in his budgie smugglers.
Smile, you're now on the Ukrainian target list..

the little airport just north of Sevastopol, at aeroport Imeni A. Koltunovoy would seem to be an open invitation unless the guests have left the building. Some 40+ Su-31/35 and a smattering of MiG-29, and a handful of L-39's. Hopefully safely near Vladivostok or some other safe area. 5nm ENE of harbor... looks like a great place to spend time in speedo's, for tourists with smartphones and FB accounts.

It looks like the Kherson bridge is taking a caning again, and in daylight.

Mind boggling incompetence by the Russians in executing a false-flag op.
Ignoring the totally out of proportion head on the photo, as stated we asked to believe not only that she took the pass into Russia with her - but presented it to Russian border security when leaving so they could photograph it….

Locals from occupied #Kherson city report that the automotive Antonisvkiy bridge across the Dnipro river is no more.
Today, #Ukraine AF struck the bridge again right at the moment when 9 Russian trucks full of ammo were crossing it. Ammo explosions facilitated its destruction.

But Dugin isn't, is he? This is a figment of the west's imagination, by many accounts.
You mean the SBU? Anyone else would be far from "simple" to attribute.
As fdr noted, who would benefit from this? Hard to tell at this distance, even more so because we're talking about Russia.
To me, that is too complicated, it is simpler to attribute this to a foreign intelligence service

They never really try that hard. I think there's an FSB directorate dedicated to retrospectively planting the most incriminating evidence at crime scenes (passports, explosives, signed confessions, letters from Zelensky wishing them bon chance etc etc) to cover up their incompetence in thwarting such attacks.
Could be anyone, rent a model?
why would you not check on the driver if it had just happened and possibly the passenger as the door was open..
