In relation to my last poast about casualties in the Banderastan War, one question that keeps coming up, over and over again, is the obvious one: why, if the Russians have such overwhelming superiority over the Ukrainians, are they taking so bloody long?

This question is not unique to us in the West. Russians are asking this exact same question, in ever increasing numbers. The Russian public is weary after more than 3.5 years of grinding, slow, attritional gains, and they know pretty well the substantial cost that hundreds of thousands of Russian families have paid for what, on the face of things, seem to be minor gains across the Donbass front.

The Russian political elite is well aware of these questions. The Kremlin knows perfectly well that Russian public sentiment is rapidly hardening against any sort of compromise peace. The Russian people absolutely will not accept a “Minsk 3” of any kind, which allows the West and Ukraine time to recover and pose a renewed threat to Russia’s territorial integrity and interests.

They want a victory – an outright, complete, crushing victory.

There is also a school of thought within the Duma, expressed in their internal discussion boards – which, according to Alexander Mercouris, is not really secured or locked down to any significant degree, and is practically open-source – in which a significant chunk of Russian parliamentarians are arguing in favour of a war that lasts another 2-3 years. This will allow Russia to win a complete and total victory against Ukraine and NATO.

And, keep in mind, the Russian government, via Dmitryi Peskov, the official spokesman for the Neo-Tsar himself, has said clearly that, as far as Russia is concerned:

NATO is at war with Russia. It is obvious and does not require any additional proof… NATO is de facto involved in this war. NATO provides both indirect and direct support to the Kiev regime. Therefore, it can be said with absolute certainty that NATO is at war with Russia.

All of this then begs the question:

If NATO is indeed effectively at war with Russia – and anyone who has half a brain (that is to say, is not Ukrainian, or a Eurocrat), can figure that out instantly – then why is Russia taking so long to defeat NATO?

After all, Russia’s conventional superiority is, as has long been established, overwhelming.

The Russians currently have some 700,000 troops in Ukraine, facing off against roughly 200,000 Ukrainians. They have more than sufficient numbers of men to simply smash through the Ukrainian lines – albeit with very heavy casualties – and overrun whatever is left of 404 – Country Not Found.

The Russians are already outproducing the entire combined Western alliance at a rate of roughly 3:1, as their own General Secretary admits. (Keep in mind, the assclown currently occupying that position, is yet another failed former Prime Minister of yet another failing European state. Says a lot about the parlous situation in European politics, really.)

Russia is producing drones, tanks, artillery shells, aircraft, mines, ships – you name it – at rates that the whole combined West simply cannot match. This, from a country that the Euroweenies continue to insist has an economy barely the size of Italy’s – even though any sane observer can immediately figure out this is a lie, and in fact Russia has the fourth largest economy in the entire world.

Thus, there appears to be an irreconcilable dilemma. Russia’s critics – both internal and external – are right to point out that progress by the Russian Army has been extremely slow, even though those same critics will, if they are honest, admit that the Russian casualty rates have been in steep decline for about a year now.

The answer to this conundrum lies at the very end of a fascinating video released by the Real Reporter channel. The guy behind it is a Russian who speaks near-perfect English, and who produces AI-dubbed videos of conversations and discussions with various people in Russia. His channel got YEETED off YOOCHOOB, because of course he was telling the truth, and The Powers That Be can’t have that.

So here is the Rumble version of a video in which he interviews an ex-assault trooper from one of Russia’s volunteer battalions:

At the end of this video, the interviewee explains why he thinks that, in the best-case scenario, Russia will only win by 2027. The reason why, is profound:

As he says, Russia is quite literally rebuilding its entire military. It is learning, once again, how to fight a real war.

It is critical that we understand just how far Russia has come in nearly 4 years. The Russian Army that entered Ukraine in 2022 was totally unprepared for the kind of war that followed. Its entire orientation, force structure, doctrine, tactics, operational tempo, and mindset, was focused on a defensive war on Russian soil against foreign invaders, based on a weird hybrid of legacy Soviet-era warfighting techniques and a severely depleted force structure.

Because of the terrible shrinkage of the Russian economy after 1991, the Russian military had to make do with Battalion Tactical Groups – that were capable of focusing immense firepower along a narrow section of a front, but were not sufficiently staffed up with infantry to be able to hold territory along a broad front. Their way of fighting focused on overwhelming the enemy with artillery and saturation bombardments, and then moving in with infantry.

This method of warfare was not ready for the innovations in drone technology that had come along since the last time the Russian military deployed in anger, in 2008. And the issues with overlapping commands, inconsistent quality of commanders, and wide variations in training and development of the troops, all made the Russian military far less effective than it should have been in 2022.

These factors, combined with the simple lack of numbers, forced the Russians to use an expeditionary force structure in their invasion in 2022. It was not until late September 2022 that the Neo-Tsar finally did what his generals had been begging him to do since the summer, and mobilised 300,000 men to stabilise the front lines, after the Khlearly Khatastrophic Khreat Khokholite Kharkov and Kherson Khounteroffensives – and they were catastrophic for the Ukrainians, despite the territory regained, because of the sheer number of men the khokhols lost, and because the Russian Army withdrew in relatively good order from indefensible fronts.

Ever since then, the Russians have been building the army of the future – THEIR future. And it is that future army that will enter the conflict, only once the Russian General Staff believes it is ready to deploy.

It is that army that will sweep Ukraine off the map – not through fancy impressive big-arrow offensives, but through methodical, grinding, brutal, overwhelming pressure and attrition, against an enemy that is simply too weakened and corroded to resist.

It is critical to understand that building an army for a modern war, with the quantum leaps in drone technology, and the near-total removal of the element of surprise – which, by definition, removes the ability to manoeuvre effectively and rapidly in feints and thrusts to bypass entrenched enemy positions – is not an easy task. No NATO country is capable of doing it, including the FUSA. We saw what happened in 2023 when NATO doctrine came up against Russian fortifications.

Back then, during the Khlearly Khollapsed Khatastrophic Khorrible Khreat Khokholite Khumvee Khounteroffensive, the Ukrainians threw nearly 10 brigades at the Russian lines – and they failed to make any real impression whatsoever. By the end of that awful episode, over 160,000 Ukrainians were dead or severely wounded – and that is according to conservative estimates from Russia’s Ministry of Defence.

No NATO country can fight the way Russians do. They cannot even fight the way Ukrainians do. No European power has the ability to sustain troops in the field for long periods. The FUSA, for its part, has an outdated force structure and Table of Organisation and Equipment (TOE) that was designed for the 1990s, and is only really suitable for fighting tenth-rate Arab armies made up of demotivated conscripts.

Against real warriors wielding real weapons fighting for their lands and peoples – the US would be totally useless. For all of the bluster and nonsense about how the US has “the finest fighting force in history” – to quote Odumbass the Lightworker – the plain and simple fact is that the US cannot field a real continental army to save its ass anymore. If, indeed, it ever really could, after 1991.

Which brings us neatly to a very weird TROOF that Ornj Boi dropped on us after his speech at the UN today:

This reads like the ghost of Sen. John McCain (may he burn in Hell) wrote it, and it confirms all of our worst fears. Drumpf has been completely co-opted by the neoclowns, and has gone off the deep end. He seems to think Russia is a third-rate military power that cannot win in Ukraine.

In this, he is completely, totally, and hopelessly wrong. Every last intelligence official feeding him this nonsense should be fired outright. In fact, when the Narcofuehrer of Queef gave his press conference after meeting with Tantrump, he stated outright that Angry Short Trump is now listening to him, not The Putin, which is why he is back onside.

Now, if you read between the lines of Donny-boy’s incoherent ridiculous ranting, you will quickly realise that he is in fact throwing Ukraine under the bus, and he is sticking the entire war on Europe. But it does not look that way, at all, on the surface, and his words about Ukraine winning back its lost territory is not merely stupid, it is flatly INSANE.

This brings us back to the difference between serious people who act in serious ways, and assclowns who think things happen because they say so. The Russians are methodically, carefully, precisely building out the army that will dominate the Eurasian security architecture for the next 50 years, while America slides into irrelevance and civil war, and Europe withers and dies. Gen. Valeryi Gerasimov’s greatest achievement will be the coming victory in Ukraine, followed by the creation of the TRUE finest fighting force in history.

And all the TROOFING in the world, all the gas-bagging about ending umpteen wars, and all the begging for irrelevant peace prizes, by an angry tanned ape, will do nothing to change these outcomes.
