Just Monday we were discussing the “new phase” of the Neocon’s war on Russia. That phrase was coined by Doug Macgregor in an interview with Glenn Diesen, in which Macgregor stated that Ukraine is no longer capable of offensive action, and that the “new phase” he foresaw would feature American involvement at an even deeper level. What Macgregor had in mind was this. The Neocons are desperate to get Russia to accept a “frozen conflict”, i.e., defeat and abandonment of the goals of the Special Military Operation (SMO). Their scheme for accomplishing that pie in the sky goal is to use long (or longish) range strike weapons to inflict damage on Russia proper (mostly in Crimea?), while pressuring Zelensky to forget our past aid guarantees, forget “as long as it takes”, and reach out to the Russians. Among all the difficulties of this scheme it’s hard to disagree with Zelensky’s publicly expressed opinion: The Russians will certainly recognize this as an admission of defeat by NATO and its Ukraine proxy—and will laugh it off.
If Russian air defense consistently achieves 95% or greater coverage then to me that’s a significant psychological blow to US and NATO war gamesmanship.
Continuation of this stellar pace will in turn lead to heightened escalation or quicken the surrender.
It's so depressing how in such a short space of time the hubris of the declining Empire has accelerated its decline. Horses for senators and a fine tune on a fiddle. Imbecilic patriarchy.. Interesting times.
I think we need to bring Confucius up to date, C: "A great drop of rain falling makes a great, multi-million dollar plane fall without being seen or heard."
As an armchair warrior and student of blitzkrieg warfare, I've often been impatient with Vlad's incremental way of war. However, you have to hand it to him, it's worked brilliantly. Every day sees a new split in the carapace of Western "unity". It's true that the Polish government might indeed by acting at the behest of the neocons, but maybe too it's just election pressure. As you state above, this war is less popular in Poland with everyday that passes.
His strategic thinking does indeed seem impressive but he is not a GrandMaster at chess or anything approaching it. No matter how many times you assert the opposite.
Even if Kiev censors the news, gossip and rumours spread quickly in armies. And soldiers have phones too. I'm staggered that the poor bloody infantry aren't shooting their officers and the enforcers and heading back home.
We need to serve notice to these men that by crossing into our country illegally, they are automatically volunteering to serve in the Ukranian military. They need military aged men, we currently are receiving an excess. Problem solved!

Who thinks these assh*les were served bugs?

Watching that pisses me off to no end.
Anyone remember when Mick Jagger was a rebel?
DEI convention with Mick as entertainment. Gimme shelter or gimme satisfaction.
Gimme World Domination with Klaus.
Robespierre!
Where are you when the World needs you?
Robespierre is well and good, but I’m kinda hoping for a committee on public safety. So we can, you’ll pardon the expression, cut to the chase.

Their arrogance and hubris is depressing; the decline is wonderful. These people need to be destroyed.

Short term thinking has infected western culture. But you can’t sprint all the time. Playing the long game means you can sprint when you need to.

@POTUS has determined that he would not provide ATACMs to Ukraine, but he has also not taken it off the table in the future — Jake Sullivan.

Reminds me of “yes, well maybe, I don’t know!” from the hilarious Malcolm in the Middle series…you kinda hafta sing it to get the full effect.
That's as close to a definitive "no" as we'll ever get. There is no "future" where Ukraine's military activities are concerned.
Why Ukraine’s army does not rebel yet:
From what I read:
- information black out, soldiers don’t know how bad it is. Believe everything is going great.
- Use if drugs Speed / Meth to get soldiers in the right mindset for the advance.
- not giving ammo until right before battle
- use of barrier groups / internal security, true believers to make sure no mass retreat, etc.

Putin is very measured, calculated, and well versed in International law.

A guess, Xi & Putin are just fine with the current regime.
