War On Russia: A Turning Point?

There are at least three significant directions in the Anglo-Zionist war on Russia that are currently developing. Obviously, two of those directions are 1) the disastrous attempt to invade Russia and capture the Kurchatov nuclear facility (near Kursk) and 2) the breakthrough by Russian forces in the Donbass (centered on Pokrovsk).

The third direction has to do with the devastating Russian missile strike at Poltava—although it’s important to remember that almost simultaneously there were major strikes at Krivoy Rog (south central) and Lwiw (west). What these strikes had in common was the presence of NATO personnel in significant numbers. Here’s how I addressed this yesterday:

It appears that the Russian strikes on NATO personnel—most spectacularly in Poltava, but also reportedly in Lwiw and Krivoy Rog—are intended to send a message to NATO: Your talk of escalating, your actual escalations—all this has consequences. It can hardly be surprising that Russia would know the whereabouts of NATO personnel in Ukraine. Russian agents are probably everywhere in Ukraine, just as Ukraine has its agents in Russia—the blending of the nationalities makes this inevitable. So, Russia has always known, but the gloves are coming off. The message is that crazy behavior has consequences, and this is a sample.

What’s clear is what should have been obvious all along—the Russian intel services have been tracking the movements and activities of all NATO personnel in Ukraine. While there have been targeted strikes on NATO personnel in the past, we cannot be sure of the circumstances that occasioned the strikes. In the current cases we may have a clearer idea. The devastating nature of the strikes is also significant. Simplicius devotes an update to this topic today,

and one point he makes has to do with the heavy casualties. Simplicius stresses that while the number of those killed ranges all the way up to 700+, the figures he presents are all drawn from Ukrainian sources, not Russian. There is no question here of the Russians inflating the numbers.

The most obvious evidence of the effectiveness of the missile strike on Poltava was the swarm of NATO medical aircraft (USA, Germany, Poland, Romania). They were evacuating both wounded instructors and the dead bodies. In cities like Berlin, police guarded convoys of ambulances rushed to hospitals by the evening. (Follower witness)

At the same time, the “legalization” of the dead NATO personnel began: US Army Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Kamara died suddenly in Poland. Ahead of us are many unexpected helicopter, yacht and private jet crashes or hiking incidents all over the world, with sudden passing NATO personell.

Swedish Foreign minister resigned “surprisingly”, but it’s obviously in the aftermath of the attack on the Poltava military institute in Ukraine. This is indirect confirmation that a big group of Swedish instructors were hit in Ukraine. There are rumors that the Swedes in question, were a high ranking group from Saab military industrial arm.

With this in mind, what is Russia’s message? For some time I’ve been maintaining that, despite the extremely methodical manner of Russia’s military operations, there are multiple reasons why Russia would want to end this war sooner rather than later—despite the success of its war of attrition. I’ve been listening to Lawrence Wilkerson and Andrei Martyanov today, and they make a number of persuasive points.

First, we know that the targets of the Russian strikes were NATO trainers who were teaching Ukrainians in the techniques for managing high tech weapons systems—AWACS type planes, air launched cruise missiles, and so forth. The killing of such large numbers of both NATO trainers and Ukrainian trainees was a devastating blow to both NATO and Ukraine. The message that Martyanov (in a video with Ania K) sees in this is linked to the provision of F-16s to Ukraine, which are able to serve as launch platforms for the deep strike JASSM missiles (discussed here)—the provision of which to Ukraine is “under discussion”. As Martyanov notes, when the US says the provision of a specific weapons system is “under discussion”, that means it has already arrived in Ukraine but has not yet been deployed. From this perspective, the Russian message is something like this: We’re really serious about retaliating against NATO for any deep strikes; for now—before they are deployed—we confine our retaliation to hunting down and killing the NATO personnel who will service and support those weapons (presumably including F-16s and JASSMs); if you want to find out just how serious we are, FAFO—try us out. In effect, the message should be understood in conjunction with Russian threats to put “both sides of the Atlantic” in play. American as well as European targets could be hit.

Second, and this point is stressed by Wilkerson (in a video with Judge Nap), while Russia appears to be on the cusp of winning this war, Russia may wish to bring it to a conclusion more quickly than NATO realizes. NATO keeps talking about keeping this war going for years. Putin—says Wilkerson—is under enormous political pressure to bring it to an end. Wilkerson is not suggesting that Putin has made any particular mistakes in managing the war. He is simply arguing that the time has come when Russia is prepared to draw a red line and to insist upon it. He sees these massive strikes, targeting NATO personnel in large numbers, as part of that message. If the Anglo-Zionists want to avoid Russia’s full wrath, they should seek a negotiated settlement now.

Now, here’s an enlightening map that will explain quite a bit about Ukraine and its cultural ties to Russia. Of course, language and ethnic identity are separate things. The Russian language has an exponentially larger internet footprint than Ukrainian, so if you know Russian (but not English) it’s a natural choice. Nevertheless, the clear divide illustrates real divides within Ukraine, if not necessarily a desire to be part of Russia. Still, it’s also necessary to recall that Zelensky was elected on a platform of reestablishing friendly ties with Russia. One suspects that the reintegration of most of Ukraine into the Russian Federation—or in a close association with the Russian Federation, one thinks of Belarus—could prove to be a smoother process than some might suspect.
