Russia Invades Ukraine

[james03]

In 2014, however, after the ousting of the pro-Russian president Yanukovych, which Russian propaganda depicted (falsely, as I discussed in a previous Bitter Winter article) as a Western-organized coup to promote anti-Russian interests,

Yeah, the call of Nuland discussing her role along with Feltman's was fake, right Mike?  What's your opinion of that call?

Let's look at some of the DCLeaks emails from the Soros organization:

4. Russia's line on Ukraine will be subjected to a greater degree of scrutiny and skepticism by the left-wing actors involved in this project, relating to the European anti-fascist movement will be a key entry point in this debate.

That would be ANTIFA Mike.  Congrats on supporting them.

Media: Build on existing relationships, for example with the Guardian to increase coverage of voices from the New Ukraine – e.g. Maidan: One year on. Work with the alternative press (e.g. Eurozine, Huffington Post, Street Press, Internazionale) as key influencers for the audience we are targeting, for example by funding translations of articles by Ukrainian journalists.

Congrats Mike, you are shilling for Soros by posting from his sponsored "news" stories.

Well James you can read the same guy's previous Bitter Winter article if you want.  It's a 4 part article.  This is part 3.  Parts 1 and 2 are linked.  I don't see a link to part 4 though.

Warrant for an Invasion: The Myth of the "American Coups" in Ukraine. 3. Did the U.S. Organize Euromaidan?
A false Russian theory argues that Euromaidan was organized by the United States through Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.

--------------------------------------------

I couldn't care less if Soros contributed to Euromaidan in 2014.  The Ukrainian people had already decided that they had to get rid of the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych.  I mean why would the Ukrainian people want Yanukovych as their president when he had denied the Holodomor and said the KGB was a good thing.

James I see one of your sources is from NewsPunch.  You may want to consider where you are getting your "news" from.   

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewsPunch

NewsPunch is a Los Angeles-based fake news website.[1] Originally named Your News Wire,[5][11][12] it was founded in 2014 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai and his husband Sinclair Treadway.[3][6][13] In November 2018, it rebranded itself as NewsPunch.[11] Your News Wire was revived as a separate website in November 2020, and has continued publishing hoaxes similar to those in NewsPunch.[14]

A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as being the second-largest source of popular fake stories spread on Facebook that year,[6] and a June 2018 Poynter analysis identified NewsPunch as being debunked over 80 times in 2017 and 2018 by Poynter-accredited factcheckers such as Snopes, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and the Associated Press.[7]

The European Union's East StratCom Task Force has criticized NewsPunch for spreading Russian propaganda, a charge Adl-Tabatabai denies.[3]

Regular contributors to NewsPunch include Adl-Tabatabai, a former BBC and MTV employee from London previously an employee of conspiracy theorist David Icke,[15] Adl-Tabatabai's mother Carol Adl, an alternative health practitioner, and Baxter Dmitry, who had previously been posing as an unrelated Latvian man using a stolen profile photo.[16][17]

Ukraine on Wednesday dismissed suggestions by former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder that Russia wanted a "negotiated solution" to the war and said any dialogue would be contingent on a Russian ceasefire and withdrawal of its troops.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Thursday that Ukraine was seeking an opportunity to speak "directly" with Chinese leader Xi Jinping to help end the war.

"It's a very powerful state. It's a powerful economy ... So (it) can politically, economically influence Russia. And China is (also a) permanent member of the UN Security Council," Mr. Zelenskyy told SCMP in an interview. https://www.bworldonline.com/world/2022/08/04/466027/ukraine-warns-of-new-russian-offensive-sweden-finland-move-closer-to-joining-nato/

It seems that Ukraine's leadership is trying its best to get the attention of China. Maybe they are realizing that the West and their corporate moguls are just playing around and them are the pawns in the Russian game of chess, with the rest of the major players. Russia is slowly gaining economic power out of this war having used its military force to impose its will in the arena of world politics.

Nice deflection.  What is YOUR opinion of the Nuland call?

Edit:  Thanks for the waste of time.  The article does not discuss the substance of the call, nor does it even mention (((Feltman))).  Here is the masthead of the disinfo site you linked to:

If anyone still doubts Europe's Judgment Day has come, and Putin has no intention of stopping with Ukraine, check this out: it also confirms that Dimitri Medvedev is an extremist hardliner, as he wants to reduce Europe's Largest Country to basically Kiev.

Russia Releases 'Future Map' Of Ukraine; Reduces Europe's Biggest Country To Kyiv While Russia Absorbs The Rest
EUROPE

Deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and Former President – Dmitry Medvedev has posted maps to illustrate what he believes would be the fate of Ukraine. According to Medvedev, Ukraine would probably be reduced to Kyiv and its surrounding areas.

On July 27, Medvedev shared two maps in a Telegram post, the first one showing the Ukrainian territory before the Ukraine crisis of 2014, which includes Crimea and the two eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.

"In the mind of the president of Ukraine, damaged by psychotropic substances, this is what the map of his country's bright future will look like," Medvedev wrote about the first map in his Telegram post.

The First Map Posted By Dmitry Medvedev
While the second map showed Ukraine's territory reduced to Kyiv and a small surrounding area, with seven regions to the west annexed by Poland and three in the Southwest by Hungary and Romania. The rest of the country was wholly absorbed into Russia.



As depicted on the map, the seven regions annexed by Poland include Lviv, Lutsk, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and Zhytomyr. Romania is depicted to have annexed two regions, namely, Chernivtsi and Vinnytsia, and Hungary is shown to have annexed Uzzhorod.

"Western analysts believe it will look like this, actually," he said about the second map without specifying the 'Western Analyst.'

The rest of the Ukrainian territory is labeled as 'Russia,' bordering Moldova ...

Apart from that, the Russian military also controls some north-eastern parts of the Kharkiv region, and parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions in the south, as of July 27.



Ukraine Fights Back
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military has begun a counter-offensive in the south to take back Kherson, which is gathering momentum, as per an Intelligence Update by the UK's Ministry of Defense (MoD) dated July 28.

On July 19, Ukrainian forces used HIMARS Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) to strike the Antonovsky bridge, a crucial river crossing that connects Kherson and Crimea.

The bridge runs over the Dnieper River and is a key supply route for the Russian Army to supply areas it has occupied to the west of the bridge.

Also, as of July 27, the Ukrainian forces have probably established a bridgehead south of the Ingulets River, which forms the northern boundary of the Russian-occupied Kherson, as per the UK MoD's Intelligence Update.

According to the UK MoD, Russia's 49th Army, stationed on the west bank of the Dnieper River, appears vulnerable. Also, Kherson city, which is politically and symbolically crucial for Russia, is virtually cut off from the other occupied territories.

Kherson was the first city in Ukraine to be captured by Russian forces after their invasion in February.

Ukraine has deepened a counteroffensive in the south of the country in the 23rd week of the war, striking Russian garrisons and ammunition stockpiles, forcing Russia to bring in reinforcements and weakening other fronts as a result.

Ukraine also scored a diplomatic victory: Russia has agreed to lift its blockade of Black Sea ports to allow Ukrainian grain exports, which Ukraine estimates will bring in $10bn in much-needed revenue.

Ukraine likely lost territory on its eastern front, including a key defensive position near Donetsk city; while an explosion in a Russian prisoner of war camp in occupied Donetsk killed an estimated 50 Ukrainian soldiers, in what Ukraine describes as a war crime.

The southern counteroffensive

Even before August 2, Ukraine claimed to have liberated 46 settlements in southern Kherson province and it says the number now liberated has risen again over the past week.

Britain's defence ministry said the Kherson counteroffensive was "gathering momentum" after Ukrainian-operated HIMARS rocket artillery systems struck three Russian-controlled resupply bridges on the Dnieper river between July 20 and 27.

On July 30, Ukraine struck again. Its southern command said it had damaged a railway bridge over the Dnieper, rendering the movement of freight impossible. These strikes have jeopardised Russia's ability to resupply forward positions in the south, and Ukraine's general staff have reported that Russian forces are trying to repair the damaged bridges.



Ukraine is also attacking the warehouses from which Russian resupplies are sourced.

Ukraine's southern command said that precision strikes had destroyed Russian stockpiles of fuel, lubricant and ammunition in Berislav district northeast of Kherson city, and "critically reduced" supplies in Nova Kakhovka, where Russian forces keep large stockpiles.

Further east along the Dnieper river on the same day, Nikopol district administrator Yevhen Yevtushenko said a Ukrainian strike destroyed a Russian ammunition warehouse across the river from Nikopol.

Sergey Khlan, a Kherson administrative adviser, also confirmed that Ukrainian HIMARS rockets destroyed a 40-car train with equipment in Brylivka, about 50km (around 31 miles) southeast of Kherson city. Some 80 Russian servicemen were estimated killed and 200 wounded in the attack.

Military experts say such tactics – decapitating the Russian army, thinning its resources and destroying logistics routes – are consistent with preparations for a counteroffensive.

Retired Australian Major-General Mick Ryan has called this a "strategy of corrosion".


"In the Battles for Kyiv and Kharkiv, the Ukrainians were able to fight the Russians to a standstill because they were able to penetrate Russian rear areas and destroy parts of their logistic support," Ryan wrote.

"In doing so, they had a significant impact on Russian morale. The Ukrainians, therefore, corroded the northern Russian expedition physically and morally from within, and forced its ejection from Ukraine."

The Russians temporarily overpowered the Ukrainian strategy on the eastern front through a hail of missile and artillery fire, but the introduction of US-made HIMARS rocket artillery systems in late June has changed that, Ryan says.

"Ukrainians are re-adopting the asymmetric conventional tactics they used so successfully early in the war... an integral part of their strategy of corrosion," he says.

"The ability to rapidly target [command posts] and use HIMARS to inflict maximum destruction is vital," he added.

Ukrainian forces have excelled at doing just that.

You can play them the Nuland call, let them hear about Feltman, give them the DCLeaks, show them Hunter Biden and the Billions transferred to Cyprus, and they still won't believe you.  That is the tragedy of the situation.

James when are you going to stop shilling for the enemy?

Take a look at the Rwandan genocide, where two groups of savages went on a wilding and ended up killing 800,000, a lot of the times with machetes.  While civilized cultures condemned the massacre as crimes against humanity, did anyone ever tell you that a hutsi or a tutsi was your "enemy"?  Pay very close attention to that.

Now let us suppose that the Russians do something beyond the wildest fever dreams of the clapping seals.  They set off a low yield nuke over Kiev and you get 250,000 dead.  That would still not make Russia my "enemy".

So Mike could have chosen to say, "quit shilling for a bunch of murderous criminals".  Now I'd dispute that characterization, but it would be a coherent statement on his part.  No, he chose the term "enemy".

Russia is a trading PARTNER of the US, providing much needed metals that go into vital stainless steels, along with other commodities.  They provided contracts to US companies and partnered with them on huge engineering projects.  They cooperated with the US on hunting down moslem head hunters, even working with the US for the take out of the head of ISIS.  To the extent Russia protected Christians in Kosovo and shut down the moslem head hunting of Christians in Syria, they have my respect.

So Russia is not my "enemy".  Now if I were jewish, I'd observe Russia jailing Khodorkovsky, whacking Magnitsky, and kicking out Browder, shutting down a billions dollar looting operation, ruining the same sort of looting operation in Ukraine, and them shutting down the Israel/Obama overthrow of Assad.  I guess if I were jewish, I'd see Russia as an enemy.  But I'm not jewish, I'm American.

So who injected into Mike's brain that Russia is "the enemy"?  In the news recently we see that Russia provides millions of dollars of maintenance contracts to Canadian blue collar workers who repair the gas drives on their compressor turbines.  Sounds like Russia is also a trading PARTNER with Canada.

Medvedev's image from his dream after having too much vodka.

It would take decades to get to this. By that time there would be no more men left in Russia.

Medvedev is a dumb ass. He should lay off the vodka.

[james03]

If anyone still doubts Europe's Judgment Day has come,

Xavier, what part of "Clang in the Doom" have you overlooked?

As far as your article, go back a month or two, and find posts of those with a proven track record on Ukraine analysis, including predicting most everything that has happened way back in February, and note where we talk about Poland, Hungary, and Romania getting a chunk of Western Ukraine, a rump Ruthenian State in the center, and the Russians taking the east and the Black Sea coast.  Now reference "Puc. 2" in your article.

A suggestion, maybe you should at least consider the opinions of people who have a proven track record.

[Xavier]

Well, I believe all killing of innocents, genocide and unjust wars are wrong, and deaths and loss of lives or souls in Europe are no less precious in the sight of God, Who died and shed His Blood for all for all of them, than loss of lives or souls in Africa, Who died and shed His Blood for all of them. But the reason Europeans are (finally) waking up is that no matter what happens in Rwanda/Africa etc, Europe itself is very unlikely to be annihilated because of it. But Russia has directly threatened Europe. One of the UN leaders recently said something like, "tragically, our civilization is one miscalculation away from annihilation."

Imho, Europe has to make very clear to Russia that (1) Europe in no way intends to threaten Russia herself and her National Security and Territorial Integrity, but (2) Europe simply cannot allow Russia to blatantly invade countries and redraw borders.

Regarding trade, some believed the idea that just trading with other countries will necessarily make them peaceful and friendly. That naive worldview has arguably proved to be false. Imo, Communist China is still a greater long term threat than Russia.

But Russia, given its current behavior and leadership (Medvedev included, see above), is currently on a very bad trajectory too.

"In November 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev gave a speech to the Soviet Politburo saying, "Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep. We want to accomplish three things: One, we want the Americans to withdraw conventional forces from Europe. Two, we want them to withdraw nuclear forces from Europe. Three, we want the Americans to stop proceeding with Strategic Defence Initiative." (Loory 2008)" https://www.researchomatic.com/Soviet-Union-Collapse-34344.html

Our Lady has Her own Plans, and as She has helped Christianity to grow again in Russia, She will bring them home, and also bring Peace. But we may still have to pray and sacrifice a lot to get there. Europe has to turn from its sins. Peace through Strength. Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom come. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Triumph soon. St. Joseph, Pray for Us.

Edit: James, just saw your latest post. Will respond later. God Bless.

Medvedev's image from his dream after having too much vodka.

It would take decades to get to this. By that time there would be no more men left in Russia.

Medvedev is a dumb ass. He should lay off the vodka.

The Russians are straight forward.  This is the latest ratchet up in demands.  IF the Former West started TODAY on negotiations, (and with Gerhardt going to Moscow and the cancellation of the $8 BILLION in euro-aide to Ukraine, that might have already started) then their win would be to trim down the Russian areas and expand White Ruthenia.

It's also a brilliant psyops which will sow distrust between Ukraine and Poland, as well as Hungary and Romania.  It will even start suspicions in NATO and the EU that Eastern European countries are working on secret side deals.

As for me, I'd love to see Poland get all of that territory.

I don't doubt that Medvedev enjoys his vodka, however I think he was cold sober.

[james03]

I've been thinking about this more.  It really is a brilliant psyops, possibly.  Also add in that it is really hard to keep the narrative going that Russian orcs are going to swarm over Europe, when Russia publishes a future map showing the EXPANSION of Poland, Hungary, and Romania.  This really could be some master psyops play.

However, in the past a fault I've had is not accepting that the Russians are painfully direct in their comms.  Russia (and luckily Eastern Europe) is a patriarchy.  The Former West is a matriarchy whose foreign policy is determined via estrogen fueled emotional hissy fits.  So it is sometimes difficult to accept the direct language of Russia.  Lavrov, a very serious man, said a month ago that the window for negotiations are closing and that Russia had expanded its territorial goals.  Based on their history, this might actually be their legit strategic objective, because:

GENTLEMEN (and matrons and maidens of the Annoying Cowbell), I give you DENAZIFICATION:



Many people don't realize that the Poles HATE the Ukraine nazis due to the fact that they slaughtered a bunch of Poles in Ukraine.  So if we do indeed end up with this map, you will have de facto and de jure denazification of the light blue Polish zone.  Maximum Leader Putin^(TM) will have given that particular headache to the Poles.

I'm leaning to this being the actual goals of the Russians.

Edit:  Greg, no need to become glum and finishing off a bottle of Scotch.  I still expect Maximum Leader Putin^(TM) to Smite the West.  Just imagine the reaction of ZOG just viewing this map.  Sanctions completely failing, no leverage over Russia, Russia getting a massive win, and perhaps worst of all Poland and Hungary, hated with the intensity of a thousand suns, expanding their territory.  So I would expect ZOG to command its puppets to do something really stupid, and we'll get Russia smiting the West, BBC tax enforcer executions, and great bonfires fueled by burning recycle bins, all accompanied by the annoying clang of the cowbell.  Have some cheer.

[Xavier]

Kudos to you, James. You called that one correctly. Russia is apparently proposing to divide up Ukraine as you suggested.

But I still see the views of the Poles, including Polish Catholic President Andrez Duda, to be very different from what you say.

"Polish President: Ukraine is Defending Poland and Europe, Too

Polish President Andrzej Duda believes that Russia poses a threat to Europe.



In an interview Monday, August 1, 2022, with the German daily news site Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, he said that Ukraine is effectively defending the entire continent, not just itself.

"Today, Ukraine is defending Poland and Europe, including Germany. If Ukraine's heroic resistance fails to beat Putin's imperialistic plans, Poland and the Baltic states will be exposed to the direct threat of Russia's expanding sphere of influence in Central Europe."

Duda also contends the idea of "Russia-the-Great" translates into the subordination of other nations, adding that this notion applies not just to Russia's President Vladimir Putin, but to a substantial chunk of Russian society as well, with "[Russian] journalists insisting that Russia stretches as far as the Polish city of Kalisz."

"Thanks to Ukraine, this threat today is contained. In the future, however, I believe that it will be on the agenda," he said. "The only thing we can do is to enhance our security. Ukraine is showing what one can do when armed well."


Duda, who visited Kyiv in late May to underscore Warsaw's support for embattled Ukraine, also stressed that Poland is providing significant military assistance to Ukraine. To date, it has sent Ukraine over 260 T-72 tanks.

Last week, the Polish Minister of Defense, Mariusz B?aszczak, who visited Kyiv last month, signed an agreement on the supply of south Korean weapons to the Polish army, including jet fighters FA-50, K2 tanks, and K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers.

Previously on May 25, 2022, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Russia's multi-pronged military aggression against Ukraine has turned the modern geopolitical scene upside down, adding that Russia is carrying out a "special genocide operation" in Ukraine. He also warned other countries from resuming business as usual with Russia."

God Bless.

From the article: ""Western analysts believe it will look like this, actually," he said about the second map without specifying the 'Western Analyst."

Apparently, Medvedev said some unnamed "Western Analyst" proposed the division would look like the map he mentioned. Maybe he reads SD and was talking about you, James, as the "Western Analyst"? Lol.

God Bless.
