It seems painfully obvious that they had no plan B after failing to take Kiev right away. I don't think the US had a plan either besides dumping a ton of money and arms into Ukraine. Now we're just fighting until one side gets tired and just doesn't feel like it anymore.

Given that Russia has been in this pattern for an entire year now, I think they're just waiting for the US to switch gears to China and Taiwan and leave Ukraine high and dry.

"War being sabotaged" - During early America a general was publicly accused of doing negative things and being a traitor. No action was taken against him. When the Havana Archives were seized in 1898, it was found he was on the payroll of the King of Spain. Sounds like Russian high officials today. In 1989, Panama's most important general was taking CIA payoffs in exchange for treason, another was Arnoldo Ochoa in Cuba. Syria the same. It is amazing how much some of these people were intentionally screwing things up but were left in their positions.

"Just a note that the mercenary mis-identified by many as Aiden Aslin last week, fighting for ukrainian forces by Artemovsk, New Zelander Kane Te Tai, is now being reported across media and social media as killed in action. So, there you go." - Graham Phillips

One more question.. who took out the separatist leaders - critical to the mission - like Zakharchenko? Originally I thought it had to be Ukraine, but.. too many.. too soon, too easy.

How could Kiev be turned over if Zelinsky was in charge of Kiev?

Half a$$ war is not a war

Air power is now drones, missiles, and satellites

Putin lost his mystique at the Karkhov debacle

Glazyev and Prigozhin owe their positions to Putin

Putin refused to set up a real reserve force

The Russian economy is doing OK, people live well as other sacrifice on the front.

Nabiullina son is not a homo, unlike children of many other high officials

Nabiullina did not take the name of her husband. This indicates the husband might be a cuckold.

As always fantastic work, helps clear the mind of the 5D fog from the bloggers. Something I do find interesting is the possibility of the US banking system collapsing due to the bank runs that are starting to happen now, this being caused by a liquidity crisis (self made in the USA).

This isnt the same as the 07 to 09 bank crisis, that was due to over valuing of the housing market, this part is from https://www.unz.com/mhudson/why-the-bank-crisis-is-not-over/

But another chap that has being going over these issues for years before 07 to 09 is https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker

I do think that if your wanting the truth its also important to consider the goings on in the west especially since its here that is providing the funding for the war.

" I also believe that the evidence points to a concerted effort on the part of neocons in the West and Ukraine to provoke and prologue a fraternal bloodletting in the Slavlands." The effort of the neocons was to make Ukraine a U.S. military bulwark along the Russian border. The means to the end was divide-and-rule, exactly the fraternal bloodletting you mention

I don't quite get what the preoccupation with the so-called 5d chess crowd is all about. If your position & arguments are solid, if your predictions are always/mostly accurate, then that speaks for itself. The upcoming Ukro offensive will be the proof in the pudding, the test of narratives/perspectives. My radar goes as far as May 15th, if it hasn't happened by then. or if it has & has been repelled by RF forces, is there going to be a re-assessment here?

In the States, the Wuhan lab leak "theory" has suddenly become probable to US government branches when before it was an evil, "right-wing" conspiracy theory. Just as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (when Stalin had to persuade his anti-fascist nation to accept Germany as allies) involved a complete 180 propaganda switcheroo, the narrative about China is changing too, albeit more slowly and subtly. Some suspect, as a result, that a Taiwan invasion is coming soon. Of course seeing is believing.

Such an action like a Taiwan invasion by the CCP would distract the West as well as its spending and weapons shipments. It would have a larger effect on the economy because of how much Americans have outsourced their economy, something Russia is unable to effect apart from nationalizing all the McDonalds restaurants; China could basically strip key parts of the US economy from its very body. The invasion itself, then, would depend on whether China overcomes the crippling effects of Zero Covid and proves it has fighting potential given that the PRC hasn't fought a war since 1979. (a war with Vietnam that, incidentally, it lost) But now that Taiwan is buying more weapons, I don't think the PRC can afford to wait much longer. At least if it wants to fight a country with fewer arms and preparations over more arms and preparations.

In any case, we will see.

Until reading this my understanding was Russia was destroying Ukraine. In fact I heard that the average life span of a new Ukrainian soldier on the front was four hours. The whole thing is just one big bloody stalemate?

It is not an error but a plan to drag the conflict as long as possible. It is a Russia's contribution toward the reduction of the white population. In St. Peter Square in Vatican, there is a giant sculpture dedicated to migrants and refugees. Ecumenism, elimination of separate ethnic cultures, and one world government is what they plan for us.

The whole affair has become rather boring.

"Cronyism and networks of influence appear to be the foundation on which the Russian state has been built, not on any meritocracy or core competency." War exposes the weaknesses.

Do these gas reserves have anything to do with this police action? The timing of the exploration is right:

Funny how this matches up.

I will happily prepare and initiate a rumour campaign to the effect that scientists have unearthed convincing evidence of ancient Five Dimensional Cheese if you will in the future refer to 5D Chess Bloggers by their proper name.
