Russian special military operation in Ukraine #34

All those mighty states supporting the west: Bahamas, Belize, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Palau, Samoa, Tuvalu... 
Most of those are "former" colonies of NATO states, still controled by London, Paris and so on.

Context - During 90s Russian political movements were very brutish and primitive, just remember the birth of nazbolism... That's what you get when you pull people out of vacuum - they cling to various whacko ideas. Not to mention that people loved to be contrarian.

Anyways, back in the days I had chat with a Russian nazi (not a nazi anymore) and I asked him is it OK for Russians to Sieg Heil and use swastikas. He said that the Russians are the only ones allowed to Sieg Heil as they claimed that right by defeating nazis. It carries a different meaning for them. Just like black people can use N-word now. I couldn't argue with this logic

A third of these countries got the combined population of Moscow.

Percentage of killed civilians in a war (combat dead), "Ukraine" is currently at 2%

Like I said it before, Zelensky must not be harmed

As long as he is feeding apes to the woodchipper he is doing his job

He needs to be alive, healthy and rich for decades to come in order to serve as a reminder to Ukrainians of their own failures

NEW: The United States has trained 3,100 Ukrainians on US-provided weapons since Russia's full-scale invasion: Pentagon data

• M777 training: 870
• M113 training: 140
• M109 training: 310
• M119 training: 500
• M120 training: 220
• HIMARS training: 610
• Other: 450

This is heavy going but worth the read. Not my words.

Boris Rozhin’s summary of announcements made at Russia’s MoD board meeting yesterday:

From the statements of Putin and Shoygu at the final collegium of Russia’s Ministry of Defense on the results of the SMO in 2022.

The interesting parts.

1. The military potential of almost all NATO countries is used against Russia.
2. The capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces are constantly growing.
3. The soldiers and officers participating in the SMO are heroes comparable to the heroes of other wars, including the Great Patriotic War.
4. The SMO has highlighted a number of issues that “need to be worked on thoroughly.”
5. In all new territories that have become part of Russia, a safe life for citizens will be ensured.
6. Russia will continue to strengthen the nuclear triad. Sarmat, Yars, Tsirkon, etc. All of this will go into service. It’s already coming. The nuclear triad is the guarantor of the country’s sovereignty. (The nuclear arms race obliges. And thanks to Comrade Stalin for our nuclear club)
7. The military-industrial complex and society give the army everything it asks for. (The role of the rear is very important in a long war).
8. Information from drones should be available to every fighter. Starting from the platoon level. (More drones for the drone god).
9. In the Ukraine, Russia is confronted by a united West that has already spent $97 billion on this war. A satellite constellation of more than 500 satellites operates in the interests of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine.
10. The Ukraine uses terrorist methods of warfare and regularly commits war crimes.
11. 150,000 out of 300,000 mobilized are at the front. This, according to Putin, is enough for the SMO at the current stage. Another 20,000 were added through volunteers. 830,000 people were released from conscription.
12. Russia will continue to strike at Ukrainian infrastructure.
13. The system of military registration and enlistment offices should be modernized. The mobilization revealed the problems of the current structure. The reason is that mobilization plans have not been put into action since the Second World War, which is why the problems had to be solved on the fly (which I wrote about on the day the mobilization was announced).
14. Soldiers and officers who have distinguished themselves in the SMO should be promoted as a matter of priority.
15. Partial mobilization revealed various problems. It is necessary to hear those who do not hush up the problems. Putin called on Russia’s Defense Ministry to hear and consider even emotional criticism. (In fact, this is a call not to sweep issues under the rug and pretend that everything is fine when not everything is fine).
16. More than 100,000 people who took part in the SMO received various state awards. 120 people were awarded the Star of the Hero of Russia, some of them posthumously. More than 250,000 military personnel received combat experience in the SMO in the Ukraine. Let me remind you that a little less than 70,000 people served in Syria from 2015 to 2020. Just to have an idea of the scope of the conflict.
17. The supply of the most demanded weapons for the army has been brought forward from 2024–2025 to 2023. Given the intensification of the work of the military-industrial complex and its operation at full capacity, the volume of deliveries of military equipment to the troops should increase significantly. There are currently no restrictions on the financing of the army, according to Putin’s statement. Expenses for the army will grow, and its combat capabilities should grow accordingly.
18. According to Shoygu’s statement, two new inter-domain military districts will be created—Moscow and Leningrad.
19. The build-up of the threat from NATO will require the creation of a new grouping of troops in the north-west of Russia.
20. The size of the army is proposed to be increased to 1,500,000 people, of which 670,000 will be contract soldiers.
21. 2 new airborne divisions will be formed (who said the airborne troops were dead?)
22. It is also proposed to raise the age of conscription from 18 to 21 years, setting the age limit for conscription at 30 years.
23. The SMO will continue in 2023 until the goals of the SMO are achieved. That’s the way…
24. Each tank army must contain a mixed aviation division and an army aviation brigade of 80–100 combat helicopters
25. The transition to outsourcing in 2008–2012 led to a near complete destruction of military repair facilities, since 2012 measures have been taken to rebuild them (hello, defenders of Serdyukov)
26. The aim of the West in this war is the disintegration of Russia.
27. For a long time Russia has been trying to integrate into the “civilized West,” but they did not want it there, and now they are trying to “cancel” it. (For 30 years, we have been going in a somewhat wrong direction. Or rather, in a completely wrong direction).
28. Russia has been trying to build fraternal relations with the Ukraine for a long time, but nothing has worked (a diagnosis, so to speak, of the Ukrainian direction of the Russian policy of the last decade). Despite this, Putin considers the Ukrainian people a brotherly people. What is happening in the Ukraine is a tragedy that is happening through the fault of the West, which carried out a coup d’état in 2014.
29. A clash with Ukrainian Nazism was inevitable.
30. Putin has no doubt that all the goals of the SMO in the Ukraine will be achieved. Russia has everything it needs for this.
31. Russia will not completely switch to a military footing and completely militarize to the detriment of the economy.
32. In 2023, an increase in the supply of hypersonic weapons is expected.
33. In 2023, large-scale military exercises West-2023 will be held, focused on repelling the threat emanating from the West.
34. Putin is grateful to all citizens who are helping our armed forces.
35. Putin knows the real numbers of losses in the SMO. But there was no other way. War was inevitable. “Better today than tomorrow.”
36. The Ukraine will soon have nothing left but handouts.

To summarize the speeches of Putin and Shoygu at the collegium of Russia’s Defense Ministry:

1. The war with the West in the Ukraine will be long. The course towards achieving the goals of the SMO does not change. For the official list of SMO goals, see Putin’s February 24 speech (plus Kherson and Zaporozhye regions). Unofficial goals can be interpreted quite broadly.

2. There will be no agreements, because the West is not ready to recognize Russia’s rights to equal treaties with it. We did not fit into the “civilized world.” Fine.

3. The army will receive more resources—material, financial, human. But without fanaticism, so as not to undermine the economy. The concept of “guns instead of butter” is not our choice. They will try to find a reasonable balance. Next year, the army will receive lots of various weapons, much more than in 2021–2022. There will also be more drones.

4. Various mistakes of the pre-war period regarding the supply of troops, the mobilization system, repair capacities, underestimation of the role of drones and the concepts of multi-domain operations are indirectly recognized. Criticism of shortcomings is considered desirable.

5. The army will undergo a fairly significant reform, which is both a consequence of various shortcomings revealed during the SMO, and an increase in the threat from the United States and NATO. The sovereignty of the country will be based on the growth of the capabilities of our nuclear triad as the only reliable guarantor of military-political sovereignty.

Yes, Ladimir Elensky should stay alive - at least until the end of the war he can serve Russia well with his incompetent rule. Maybe this cocaine-driven clown will totally freak out once Artyomovsk has fallen and do something really stupid.

Saw a post on TG that Rogozin's injuries were serious. Not sure if true or just Khokhol NATzO propaganda

Oleg Tsarev is the source, so very likely, it is true.

It looks like Greece might deliver S-300PMU1 systems to Ukraine in exchange for receiving new Patriot.

I got a little drunk
I have to admit that the biggest event of this month is that the world championship title did not go to the EU.        
Italia does not count, but unfortunately Italia did not participate

Argentina lifted my spirits like no other - cheers for EUGENIO.  
I just don't like the European countries that are west of Rome and Milan..





Buenos Aires, a similar spirit as here in Serbia.
Something like this no longer exists in the subservient and obedient bitch called EU-topistan.

Hopefully they all get exterminated before Christmas

Russia said that criticism of SMO allowed , therefore I will criticise ( easy in retrospect )  , in my view :

( 1 )  Calling the war to be SMO from start was wrong . SMO type operations are like hostage rescue operation , involving a few special forces , not 120,000 troops . This resulted in Russia pulling it's punches . Better to have destroyed all the infrastructure important to the Orcs from start .

( 2 )  The initial large pincer , was over optimistic , with low density troops over large area . This resulted in psychologically damaging withdrawals .Better to have concentrated all forces around LDPR only . Winning a victory first , then moving on .

( 3 )  Once NATO came into war , targeting Russian city and military bases and pipeline , no proportional retaliation , albeit indirectly against NATO . This resulted in escalation by NATO , always pushing the envelope . Better a proxy attack by allies against yank bases .

( 4 ) Of course this retaliation would need the backing of the display of Nukes . Not merely the display of delivery mechanism . Better to have carried out a Nuke test in atmosphere or in space , visible on TV .

( 5 ) The meat grinder idea , or war of attrition by conventional forces ( including the economic war ) favours the wealthier side , with more resources . The smaller economy , has to fight smart , not hard . The smaller economy is exhausted first . Better to have aimed for a smart war of liberating important ( politically speaking ) territory , by using overwhelming force in Ukraine and prepare for further escalation by NATO and attack in another front , by going Nuclear .

( 6 ) The idea of not decapitating the Nazi leadership , because they are incompetent , does not make sense . They are together with NATO backers , making things difficult for Russia . Surely there are competent persons that can be taken out . Yet we see little attempt made by Russia .

( 7 ) The Russian speaking civilian populations , living under Nazi rule , have not been armed by small arms to participate in war against Nazis . The partisans of WW2 , were very capable in attacking military targets , and not other civilians . Better arm them now .

( 8 ) Identification of tunnel systems locations , is relatively easy . Their destruction is not difficult by simple repeated bombing to block points . Yet as far as I know , these bunkers have been left alone . Allies during WW2 , had better luck destroying underground Nazi ( V1 , V2 ) bunkers , using old technology . Better destroy these bunkers .

.........

Not surprisingly because for as long as I can remember the average military budget spending, for each and everyone of the NATO participants with the US being the outlier, has been absolutely mediocre. What they had was either old or aging, overdue, insufficient or available in extremely low volume. It was much better to poor all your defense budget in the F35 program.

I said it before, and I say it again. We will never get a WW2 type of war again as it is economically and industrially not achievable anymore to fund and built large volume of equipment and stock up ammo for any country including the US. What's left is the war of attrition depleting on what has been left in stocks. Time to market for new equipment is insanely high and apparently everything has to be super technological complex versus keeping it simple, cheap and effective and risk aversive.
