Number of countries coming out against the war are increasing.

Greece, Italy, global South. Being driven by the trade unions.
Maybe that it What happened to the anti war movements they died over time along with the trade unions. It was the trade unions who driver the anti war protests of the past.
Will NATO Aggression Force Russia to Extend the Special Operation Beyond the Ukraine?

The Saker has finally come around to what's happening big picture wise.
If the West play it right and back off and encourage Russia to stop once their objectives are met in Eastern Ukraine. The West can then spin it as a strategic defeat.
ReplyDeleteSaves face and it Stops the escalation.
However, whenever Putin, Lavrov, Medvedev and the Generals speak they all say their objectives will be met. That is full demilitarisation and denazification of ALL of Ukraine not just the Eastern part.
I believe the Russians will not stop until all demands are met. The Russian population will also see it as a strategic defeat if they stop in Eastern Ukraine. Along with the geopolitical map who are deciding which side to choose moving forward.
As Ritter says everyone will know in advance because Putin has to go to the Duma and explain " why" things have changed, before he can move to and get permission for phase 3.

ReplyDeleteThe Russian military is way too small to conquer Ukraine. They will probably make some small gains in the East but that's it (there are pics of them dragging out T-62s from storage and on rail trucks on the way to Ukraine).
Apparently they have programmed Russian drones to be able to listen for the specific sound profile of Ukrainian artillery and automatically fly toward it when they hear it and begin counter-battery targeting.
ReplyDeleteForget about being in the artillery of a modern army just as horrific as being in the infantry and at sea you are basically a sitting duck from a 1000km away.
No wonder foreign mercenaries who went to fight in Ukraine who thought it would be like the Middle East ran with their tails between their legs. To the nearest border they could find.
Reports say those 2 polish battalions who entered the fray have already been cooked at 180 for 25 mins.
"Apparently they have programmed Russian drones to be able to listen for the specific sound profile of Ukrainian artillery and automatically fly toward it when they hear it and begin counter-battery targeting."
ReplyDeleteWhere are you getting that nonsense from? For starters most Ukrainian arty is the same old Soviet stuff that the Russians are using so that could seriously backfire. if its the modern NATO stuff they are starting to get they would be out of range.
And the Russian Pilots had to tape their commercially bought GPS units to their instrument panels and yet somehow they have made huge advances in drone technology ... really?
Aye Andy,
ReplyDeleteThey will defo need to up the anti if they plan to go to phase 3.
Why Ritter says a bigger mobilisation will be needed. If they decide to deal with Western Ukraine also.
Regarding the pics of them dragging out T-62s from storage and on rail trucks on the way to Ukraine) that's propaganda that's the old stuff the West has been sending Ukraine from the Baltic states and Romania and the Czech Republic.
Russia has committed less than 25% of the armed forces to the conflict. The other 75% is on standby.
When they want they just send a new column in like this one.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YIqaeQnlfbo
Which are The new RUSSIAN T-80BV Or T72
Or they send in the Terminators

Not the same place as you obviously which is from the London Evening Times, BBC or CNN by the sound of things.
ReplyDeleteStop drinking the Kool aid.
And shop around for a different point of view.
Derek I think it's you swallong the kool aid as I don't get my info from the western press either. They are useless.
ReplyDeleteMostly get mine from Richsrd North and he has written about the so called terminator. Just some up graded Soviet shit
Typing on phone so apologies spelling
ReplyDeleteTry Turbulenttimes.com he really does know his stuff on this subject.
I prefer get real time data here Andy.

I've shown you real time videos that dispute your claims. There's hundreds of them Andy.
You will see Russia drones destroying the Howitzers by the dozen. Not one T 65 unless it is being used by the Ukrainians sent to them by the The Czechs by rail.
The T 90 are on the battlefield and moving off the production lines as we speak. Russian orthodox church are blessing them as they come off the production line.
Read the site reps from the saker again with real time videos.
And I can give you vids in real time showing its the Ukrainjan drones doing the damage both sides are using the same footage FFS. They prove nothing.
DeleteI have given you a neutral blog on the subject.
Note you completely ignored my comment that the drones "listening" wasn't possible as they are using the same equipment.
What else could you be wrong about?
Let's see just how many terminators are in the Russian inventory? Will give you a clue iits more than 8 but less than 10
Any Russian tanks lost are not being replaced by World war 2 rubbish like the Ukranian side are. There are now T65 coming out of mothballs on the Russian side.
ReplyDeleteAny tanks lost by the Russians are being replaced by more up to date advanced models. That are in reserve.
What the whole Ukraine/ Poland / Germany arguement is about.
Poland sent Ukraine out of date junk ( the pics you saw) and the Czechs. Poland was promised by Germany to replace the Polish out of date junk with German more advanced tanks. Poland is furious that Poland never received the more up to date tanks from Germany.
The Poles were using the war to recycle their out of date junk.
All here with videos from the Polish foreign ministry Andy.
https://t.me/s/sputnik
Ah Sputnik that well known neutral agency.
DeleteMate see a shrink about that confirmation bias.
" There are NOT T65 coming out of mothballs on the Russian side. "
ReplyDeleteThe T65 coming out of mothballs are on the Ukrainian side being sent to them from Poland and the Czechs and Romania. Poland sent them T72's. The Czechs and Romanians T65's.
ReplyDelete(The pics you saw.) Used as Western propaganda.
What is on the Russian trains are T90's and T80bv's and in the huge columns arriving in Ukraine. From the 75% of the Russian army in reserve.
All verified by the links above in real time.
They don't use the same equipment at all.
ReplyDeleteThe Ukrainians are using Italian and American Howitzers or older versions of the Russian artillery.
Look at the videos.
The old junk has been completely destroyed. Why they have been able to set the drones up to listen for the new Western artillery that has been sent. Or listen out for the older versions of the Russian version.
(Apparently)
The Russians have upgraded their Artillery. The Ukrainians use the older stuff or stuff sent from the West.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-EY-6YHG_0
I did address it I showed you videos of Russian drones homing in on American Howitzers and destroying them. When you said they would be out of range.
Dozens of videos from different sources showing American and Italian howitzers destroyed all over the Ukrainian battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThey have not been out of range at all.
Anyhoo.
You are either going to believe the videos or not. It is totally up to you who believe Andy. But if you are going to make bold claims at least have some videos to back it up or at least some proof at least.
I've given you plenty. Real time video footage. that has backed up my claims. Even then you don't have to believe a single word I say. Or my sources.
That's the beauty of free speech. You listen to dozens of different sources and make your own mind up.
Why you voted to remain and I voted to leave in the EU referendum.
ReplyDeleteWhy You vote Green and I don't vote at all in general elections as I have no one to vote for.
We both collect the available information at our fingertips and think very differently after we've made our minds up and come to our conclusions.
We believe different things.
That's healthy and good for humanity.
:)
Jesus wept just when having misgivings about something (Brexit) means you support the other. (The EU). You seriously need to grow up Derek. It was never an opportunity as it was the clowns in Libertarian land and the far right who controlled it. Fascism is worse than neoliberalism.
ReplyDeleteThat's rather quite rude of you Andrew.
ReplyDeleteBut hey ho.
Believe what you want to believe if it makes you happy.
Derek you accused me of voting remain but I didn't. What exactly are we supposed to believe when you can't get basic stuff right as you didn't understand my position in the 1st place
DeleteYou are just doing wrong..
Ps you can call me Andy
ReplyDeleteThis is not the place and we've already debated heavily over a 2 year period your very strong position of EFTA.
ReplyDeleteTime to move on don't you think ?
We've been over it a million times. Always end up in our own entrenched posistions. There's no point in it.
This is not the place Andy to go over again and again if EFTA was Brexit in name only and a remainer position.
Twitter was bad enough don't you agree ?
I'm not going over it again and this will be my last ever post with you on the subject. I've always played the ball not the man why be so personal?
Believe what you want to believe move on and be happy.
Anyway, you've already started debating with yourself in your last 3 posts.
Your words not mine....
" Brexit was never an opportunity as it was the clowns in Libertarian land and the far right who controlled it. Fascism is worse than neoliberalism. "
But you voted for it anyway right ?
You should have stayed with your EFTA remainer position it was more clear cut what you actually believed in. Saved the time of debating with yourself.
Believe what you want to believe whatever makes you happy, but it is time you moved on.
