Yep. I have to wonder who exactly is running the show over there? As Zeihan says, âAll the Russians have is bodiesâ. Even so, these are draftees with literally no training that are sent in; they donât really undergo a Basic like US troops do. What a mess.

WOW. Interesting take on the situation. Information that came from�?? CIA? Ukrainians?
Just, FYI, when I offered this POS up as an expert, it came from a source that is given ONLY US BS, and a heavy load of it. He is good for economic information but military positioning? He knows as much as you and I do.
Nothing.

Here is what I DO know. Russia has not presented their âmobilizationâ. They announced 300k of which up to 90k have been brought onto the battlefield. Estimates are between 4-600k by anecdotal information (How many friends do you know have been called up for the mobilization?) General Winter is on their side. Munitions and equipment is on their side. Kherson (pronounced with a soft K, for goodness sakes) is RUSSIA. They are not going to abandon them. The strategy has been to be a war of attrition- killing as many military (Ukrainians are few now- with mercenaries filling the ranks) and blasting as much of supplied equipment that the collective west are unable to supply. The strategy is not to get Russian/oblast guard killed unnecessarily, nor civilians unnecessarily, and make a stand on higher ground where you can draw in the confident.
I am an American. I cry when we sing the National Anthem and canât watch fireworks in memory of my friends who didnât come back from Nam- or when they did, they werenât the people I knew before. Damaged. We are now a hated country throughout the world for this kind of ignorant arrogance. We have become totally delusional in the lies perpetrated by our slave owners. You know, the ones who bought out or sold the 20 and 22 elections while we watched, passively.
Bun man has been prompted with this arrogance but he is speaking nonsense. We no longer have the military superiority and need to face it before these psychopaths get us all killed.

I differ with some of that Alphonse.
Didnât you just say in a previous entry that we and them(so called experts) know nothing about military power of Russia or USA?
So why are you making a statements, that USA doesnât have a military superiority anymore. Did you just become privy to somekind of intel in that matter? Zeihan is very good analyst in general global economic trends. Statistics most of the time donât lie.

Most folks always forget the HISTORY of RUSSIA. In the 18th Century the first and only empress of Russia, Catherine the Great defeated the Ottoman Turks who had invaded and occupied most of Europe and Southern Russia including Crimea. In the terms of the treaty to end that war Russia paid $15.8 million dollars to the Turks for all that land. In later years N Bonaparte, and then A Hitler invaded Russia only to suffer defeat as their armies were driven out of Russia.
During the period of years that the former Soviet Union was in the process of being swept into the dustpan of history the Ukraine was given its independence in exchange for giving up all of the nuclear weapons. Many other nation states also regained their independence when the Soviet Union was dissolved.
Regardless of what the rest of the World thinks or believes to be true it is the Russian people who have not forgotten their history. So, yes, Russia may once again need to pay a high price to defend and regain what they believe is rightfully their land.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine on or about 03-22-2022. Those regions are mostly populated by ethnic Russians, and who also speak Russian. Ukraine: Scholz warns Putin against recognizing rebels â DW â 02/21/2022.
The German, French, and American leaders immediately recognized they had a huge problem.

Reminds me that I need to work on a new post about âGermaniaâ, a âmost dangerous bookâ, written in 70 AD by Tacitus, a Roman novelist.

Read Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning by Andrei Martyanov (his video is above). From the cover: Martyanov is an expert on Russian military and naval issues. He was born in Baku, USSR in 1963. He graduated from the Kirov Naval Red Banner Academy and served as an officer on the ships and staff position of the Soviet Coast Guard through 1990. He took part in the events in the Caucasus which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In mid-1990âs, he moved to the US where he currently works as Laboratory Director in a commercial aerospace group.
So that is my MAIN source of information. The working terms in the book is LOSING SUPREMACY- so I do not know to what extent we have lost our military strength but I CAN say that when it costs $135 for a bolt in US equipment versus $1.35 in the Russian version, it doesnât take long to see who can be experimenting with new ideas more efficiently.
I would also recommend listening to interviews with Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector/US marine, Col. Douglas MacGregor, or former CIA/State Department Larry Johnson to get a better handle on the status of US versus Russian capabilities at this time. Brian Berletic of the New Atlas who served in the US military is another excellent source. I am finally giving it a break but I have been too focused on this conflict since the beginning.

A cost plus contract is dream deal, and it costs a lot to get one.

The $135 in USA vs $1.35 in Russia for a bolt. I can believe it. The difference in cost though goes directly to finance black military projects in US. How else CAF and dr. Skidmore were able to come up with $27T siphoned out of DoD and HUD in the last 25 years.
That difference also tells me thatâs how much more USA spends on the new tech and black projects comparing to RU.
