Yes, I know, I’m a day late with this one, but I have been spectacularly unmotivated to write for a few days. It took me a while to get around to posting that long one about how one Jacob Dreizin has so thoroughly misunderstood the origins of the Christian faith.
Excuses, of course, do not change the fact that things have been unusually busy over in Banderastan, and in the rest of the world.
As I stated in my post earlier today, the situation in Bakhmut/Artyomovsk is degrading rapidly for the Banderites. They are losing hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of men every single day in the meatgrinder in that one city alone, and hundreds more all along the line of contact. The Russians are advancing relentlessly, both around Bakhmut, and around other key fortified cities and settlements, such as Avdeevka and Ugledar.
The collapse of Bakhmut is, at this point, almost inevitable – though not absolutely so.
There is substantial evidence of a major Ukrainian force massing near Chasov Yar, to the immediate west of Bakhmut, to try to smash through the Wagner forces blockading Bakhmut. They may succeed, temporarily, but I think it is certain they will take horrendous casualties in doing so.
I really do suspect this will be a lot like Operation: WINTER STORM – the attempt by Field Marshall Erich von Manstein to relieve and evacuate the trapped German 6th Army under Friedrich Paulus, which the Soviets had successfully encircled as a result of their own Operation: URANUS.
The Russians have a history, dating back to the Great Patriotic War, of letting their enemy begin an offensive, achieving some success in the process, before smashing it into a bloody pulp through encirclement and artillery fire. Again, there are no guarantees in war, but there is a distinct possibility this is exactly what will happen in the coming days, if the Ukrainians really do launch an all-out offensive to roll the Russians back away from Artyomovsk.
No matter what happens at the tactical level, though, let us be very clear: the outcome of the war in Ukraine is not in doubt.
The tactical level of war cannot overcome the operational one. And at the operational level, the FACT is, Banderastan is completely and totally SCREWED.
Its population base has collapsed. The country depends entirely on the West for every aspect of its government financing, military funding, equipment, training, C4ISR, and even air defence. Indeed, Ukraine actually depends substantially on Polish, American, and British “mercenaries” – almost certainly NATO soldiers and officers “volunteered” to fight under a foreign flag by their conniving and treacherous governments – to pad the numbers of their troops.
In reality, the Ukrainians are desperately scraping the bottom of the barrel, trying to round up men all over the country wherever they can get their hands on them. Videos abound all over Telegram and Rumble of military recruiters literally grabbing men off the streets, in nightclubs, in shopping malls, in churches, and even in their own homes, giving them summonses for military service, and throwing them straight into cursory “training”. These men go to some city near the front line, usually Kharkov, and shoot a few magazines for a couple of days, before the General Staff classify them as “assault troops” and pack them off to the Bakhmut meatgrinder.
There, they survive a few hours, perhaps a few days if they are lucky, before Russian ORKtillery turn them into bits of bloody meat and charred bone.
The fact is, Ukraine cannot continue feeding its men into this horror for very much longer. Even with 10 million men left in its country – which is about what they have left – they cannot maintain an economy, AND feed men into the slaughter-fields of Donbass, at the same time. You still need men to keep the lights on, put out fires, drive lorries and trucks and trains with food and vital supplies, and run critical government supplies.
Yet, in defiance of all basic sense and tactical finesse, the Ukrainians continue to feed fresh meat – I mean, men – into the grinder. And all the Russians have to do is to crank the handle, and smash them with their artillery.
There is a horrifying mathematics to war. The Russians are proving the iron laws of such mathematics as we watch.
Looking beyond Banderastan, the really big news is the fact that Iran and Saudi Arabia have reestablished diplomatic relations – with a settlement spearheaded by the Chinese. If this does not make American diplomats sit up and sweat bullets, then American diplomacy truly is dead.
The Chinese have historically largely stayed out of regional power conflicts, preferring instead to do business deals in the background, while letting the concerned parties sort out their own differences, either at the negotiating table, or on the battlefield. Westerners tend to have a serious misunderstanding of the Chinese, thinking of them as sinister agents bent on world domination. This is simply untrue. They are NOT a trustworthy or good people, to be sure – but they are also not interested in hegemonic global control.
They are, in fact, primarily interested in establishing trade and economic links across the world. Yes, the Chinese have a colossal racial superiority complex, going back some 5,000 years, but this is neither new nor surprising. As far as the Chinese are concerned, the 500 years or so of Western dominance over the world, is but an historical aberration, relative to the span of their civilisation.
The fact that China was instrumental in rebuilding these links between two regional great powers, is a major game-changer in the Middle East. It isolates America and encircles Israel – and the Jews now realise they can no longer really depend on their supposed “greatest ally” to keep them safe. The reality is, most of the powers in the region do not particularly like Israel – they simply allied with the Jews to keep Iran at bay.
But the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting rapidly. Russia, in particular, is not nearly as friendly to Israel as the USSA is – which is to say, the political elite in Russia are not subservient to the Israeli lobby, at all. China has openly rebuffed and rejected Jewish attempts to relocate their lobbyists and influence there. And the Arab powers have historical beefs with the Jews going back all the way to the dawn of Izzlamism.
Interesting times are ahead for all of us – especially with what appears to be a new banking crisis in the offing. Let us hope and pray we make it through.
In the meantime, let us get to the real reason you are actually here.
This week’s closing exhibit is Angelika Gusak (Анжелика Гусак), of indeterminate age but probably in her late twenties or early thirties, from Minsk, Belarus. I have no clue who she is beyond this, but that will have to do.
Happy weekend to all, lads.
