Another special “hello” to those of my readers who said I was delusional yesterday…..
…..and to Martyanov and Larry Johnson and the “New Atlas” guy and all the other blind and illiterate alt-pundits who BS’ed you or else just fell silent in recent days (for those who follow that stuff, probably not my original GOP list readers.)
The U.S./Ukrainian offensive has taken most of Kupiansk almost without a fight, and the Russian army group in Izium is being evacuated, leaving behind thousands of tons of gear and ammo.
Again, this is due to Putin’s “political” strategy of trying to fight a big war (against the U.S. hegemonic bloc, the entire West) without raising sufficient manpower, not calling up the reserves so as to leave Russia’s population in peacetime mode.
The “whack a mole” approach of trying to guess the direction of the Ukrainian offensive in the north (given insufficient forces to man the line) has failed utterly. If you don’t like it, don’t blame me.
It’s not necessarily a huge “military” loss (Russian casualties so far have been VERY low, but we’ll see how much gear they must leave behind) but it is a huge political loss for Putin and for all Russian Ukrainians who trusted that Russia is “here to stay.”
Thousands if not tens of thousands of refugees fleeing Kharkov region would beg to differ.
Of course, the first thing the Ukrainian forces do for their cameras (after raising their flag) is arrest and brutalize all “collaborators”—not bring in food trucks or do anything positive, but arrests and repression.
We’ll see how far this goes, but the summer’s Russian gains in western Lugansk (the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration) are now potentially in jeopardy. Ukrainian offensive manpower is not in fact so great (just a few brigades), but a rout is a rout, so we’ll see how this goes.
The Ukraine has plenty of low-quality “cannon fodder” to occupy rear areas, while the competent (U.S./UK-trained, armed, and directed) forces will continue to advance if they are able.
(And, Russia was planning to advance and thus has no real defensive lines in western Lugansk.)
North of Kupiansk, it’s likely Russia will have to retreat almost all the way to its own border (although if Uncle Sam tells his dogs, “feel free to cross the border“, anything is possible.)
However, the biggest threat to the Russian effort is that Uncle Sam and his coalition have smelled blood, they now perceive the prospect of victory and they will pour EVERYTHING into the Ukraine, probably including Patriot missiles or even F-16s, in the coming months. I mean, why not?
This is likely to lead to a “scorched earth” war and the total destruction of the Ukraine.
Because, Russia has a number of backstops. Low-yield, tactical nukes are a backstop, and the U.S. can’t do squat other than escalate all the way to nuclear war. I mean, they’ve run out of Russian billionaire yachts to steal, what else can they do?
Likewise, sending tens of cruise missiles to knock out electricity across the Ukraine—perhaps in the dead of winter—is another backstop. A modern army can only fight for so long with no juice.
I (wrongly) figured that could or would happen on day one, but evidently the concern was that the Ukraine would reciprocate by laying waste to Donetsk city infrastructure, which was basically in the palm of their hand as of February, and is still highly vulnerable.
However, as of now, both sides are targeting each other’s hospitals, hoping to kill wounded soldiers (hospitals in Donetsk and Kharkov were struck in the last 24 hours.) So, I don’t think Russia is that far away from turning the lights off.
In which case, no volume of arms and no sum of money from Uncle Sam is going to help, LOL. But, of course, it was never about saving the Ukraine from destruction, it was always only about tying down and “weakening” Russia.
As I wrote a bunch of times in February and March, if they have to turn the Ukraine (with all its nuclear power plants) into Afghanistan or Somalia, to spite Russia and keep the U.S. military-industrial complex in the bonbons, they will do it.
*******As I wrote then, there is no way Russian can “lose” (unless Putin loses his nerve or has a stroke or something), because for Russia this is existential and Russia is right there, not to mention it has all the gas. It’s just a question of, HOW FAR THIS ESCALATES.*******
So, we’ll see how strong Putin’s unit is screwed on.
Again, as I’ve been saying for a while, this thing will be decided by non-tactical, “off-the-battlefield” factors.
If/when Putin decides to finally stop playing Uncle Sam’s “incremental escalation” game, that’s when this will be on the way to being over.
A Primer on “Variant X” for New Readers
I’ve had a wave of new subscribers to the mailing list recently. Thanks for everyone’s interest.
If you’re coming from one of the 24/7 “war war war” channels (what will they do when the war ends?), and you don’t want to hear anything at all about U.S. politics or how the vakseenz wreck your immunity to the korona…..
…..then I don’t want you, please unsubscribe now. I am not the War Show, please move on.
One reader told me I need to cover the war exclusively because that’s all that matters. No, you fool, the number one issue is what’s been done with the vakseenz.
If you’re following people who don’t touch that topic, you’re being duped by “businessmen” who make ad bucks by pumping a hot but “easy” topic (or topics) to avoid censorship. As for me, this isn’t my day job, I’ve already been demonetized everywhere, I don’t care, and I talk and write about anything that matters.
I’m a hermit, but I still know at least two vakksed guys (probably both of them boosstted or even doubled-boossted) who took weeks to fully recover from one of these “weaker” korona strains that are going around now.
Almost all of my readers know someone (or many people) like that. A lot of these people have to go to the doctor for steroids or Paxlovid. What the hell was the point of getting vakksed?
Meanwhile, most of the unvakksed are now barely even noticing if/when they catch it. Maybe just some sniffles.
Maybe these unvakksed were in close contact with someone (e.g. a family member) who tested positive, but they feel good enough that there’s no point even thinking about it.
Isn’t it funny how the various U.S. states and other jurisdictions long ago stopped reporting as to “XX percent of our korona inpatients are unvakksed”?
That’s because their numbers went the “wrong” way, LOL. It’s literally a panndemmyk of the vakksinnayted, now.
But what happens if/when the korona follows the flu’s “cyclical” or “oscillating” trajectory, and spits out a more severe strain, comparable to or worse than the original version?
What happens is, hundreds of millions of vakksinayted worldwide will get quite ill, and many millions will die. And, as the thing will likely also be much more contagious than the original (as per trend), there will be no hiding from it, it will shut down everything.
That is, everything in the countries that went with the emmarrennay, so-called “vakkseenz.” I don’t know, but probably Russia with its DNA so-called vakkseen (and low vakks and very low boossting rates) will do much better.
This is all just common sense, based on observable facts in my own experience. There is nothing particularly “scientific” in my argument, there doesn’t need to be.
If you have a problem with me speaking on this matter without a brain surgery degree, get the hell off my blog. Don’t ask me for weblinks to “prove my case”, just go.
I don’t have to be the resident general practitioner on CNN (yeah, a real vyrus expert!!!) to see patterns and trends.
Why The GOP Stood Down This Year
Upon reflection, I understand why Republicans have evidently DECIDED AND RESOLVED to throw the 2022 midterm election.
I couldn’t grasp why they’ve refused to come out with nationwide “branding” or any coherent campaign against the Democrat disaster machine…..
But if you consider they understand as well as you and I do, that there’s no solving anything, and all we can do is just survive through it… Well, why bother?
Why promise anything, or set any expectations? Might as well let the Democrats own it 100 percent, go to sleep, pick up a few seats by default, and just bide time.
If that’s the case, can’t say I blame them. It’s the most logical course.
Only, I’m afraid they may not have much of a Federal government to rule over, on the other side of their nap.

Putin keeps kissing the ass of Europe. Does he think anyone will vote in a referendum if they know Russia won’t hold territory? Right now, Ukrainian death squads are hunting down anyone who so much as handed a bottle of water to a Russian. This bullshit no mobilization will do nothing but escalate the conflict.
My thoughts exactly. Well do I remember people in Lysychansk crying and begging the Russians not to abandon them to the ‘punishers’ and trying to extract a promise that they would stay.
I have already seen video on TV of people bringing Ukrainian troops food and praising their heroism and how they longed for them, but it had that hysterical tinge that reminds you of the people in N Korea going absolutely nuts to profess their grief at the death of Kim Jung-Il: Fear!
I have observed this behavior in other videos of Ukrainians welcoming UAF forces, including in Bucha. People do not pick up on this hysterical exaggeration and confuse it with enthusiasm.
Thanks. In any population there is always at least 10% who feel differently or don’t buy the agenda. I’d guess there are/were at least 20% “hard core Ukrainians” (many with Russian surnames and no profficiency in the Ukrainian dialect) in any Russian-controlled area. Years of nationalist-tribalist brainwashing did its job. Also, many of these people were doing well (government jobs or successful businesses) and the Russian arrival had turned that upside-down. Lastly, there are many, many pro-Russian “closet cases” living in Kiev etc. Oftentimes these camps will stick together and don’t even understand each other’s thinking. Just like the USA, it is a very highly divided country. It’s actually scary, how many similarities with the USA.
escalate the conflict? how so?
are you saying that the west was holding back until Russia commits more, so they can send in their armies? The more Russia escalates the less the chicken hawks from the west will escalate. Further more, Russia doesn’t need to conquere huge amounts of territory, they just need to maintain the attrition until winter , then they can completely turn off the gas on Europe and also turn off the electricity on Ukraine and win by default as their enemies capitulate and welcome their entry in return for life giving heat.
My old boss, who got the juice, got sniffles again for 17 days. It almost killed him
Everyone I know has been vaxxed and boosted (here in UK).
None have shown symptoms other than mild covid symptoms.
Paranoia is the right approach – but lets be honest the threat of the next covid virus has been talked about for at least the last 45 years that I have been reading about science, and the anti-vaxx arguments have been destroyed again and again and again (but keep repeating from idiots).
The real problems was the excessive lockdowns, and the “my duty to scare the public” mode that governments, civil servants and media entered.
The next real problem will be a serious new virus when governments failed to do lock-downs because they screwed up last time.
Kharkov – this must be the Russians dream – all those Ukrainians to be killed in one small area.
The alternative was to chase them all over W Ukraine at great Russian and civilian cost.
Yes the symptoms are “mild”, but if it’s supposed to be like a common cold now, why are healthy, vakksed-and-boossted people taking weeks to get over it? Perhaps YOU are the idiot.
where are you getting this non sense data ? Everyone I know is getting over the stupid thing in 2, 3 days, with mild symptoms. I totally agree it is a bs therapy, and I am 100% against it, but you are throwing stats out there that are not based upon actual data. The truth, which is in everyone’s face, is that it is totally ineffective, there is no question about it.
Hello. There is no “data” because anything that goes against the vakks agenda will be supressed, or else they won’t even collect the data at all. Anytime the numbers go against the agenda, they stop reporting, just as with the “% korona inpatients unvakksed” example that I presented, which you have no answer for.
As for “everyone you know” (assuming they are all vakksed)… If they are clearing the korona in 2 or 3 days, why the hell are they even getting tested???? That makes no sense. Either “everyone you know” are hypochondriacs, or else it’s just the common cold and they assume it’s korona and they didn’t get tested at all. Doesn’t sound right, sorry.
@ WindWaves
Statistics in Great Britain (Scotland as well as England) in fact confirm that the vakc has negative efficiency, and that the co video hospitalized and dead are in fact over-represented among those who had sch hots. The seemingly chronically episodic are also the v- xced.
There are a lot of avenues that X can blow up:
1. Direct damage: Excess mortality in Q3 2021 was 100% in the 35-44 cohort ! Fertility is also down in a 4-sigma or so event. Not to mention all the athletes and young people with sudden heart attacks, the jump in those dying at home, behind the wheel, etc. This stuff cannot be ignored in perpetuity.
2. Indirect damage: Compromised immunity: increasing vulnerable to all kinds of cancers, infections, fungi.
This is especially true if people keep topping up their doses.
3. Imprinting (AOS) and inability to deal with a new variant, regardless how lethal
4. ADE, where anti bodies help the infection, as with yellow fever
5. Alteration of the evolutionary path of Covington in response to immune escape in the altered immune landscape.
I am curious to know whether you have thoughts about the specific avenue this thing could travel.
I’ll take 1 through 5, inclusive. Good summary, thank you.
“”As for “everyone you know” (assuming they are all vakksed)… If they are clearing the korona in 2 or 3 days, why the hell are they even getting tested???? That makes no sense””
Man, where do you live, really ? the desert ? are you in touch with reality ? most people are maniacs about testing ! The average dude coughs twice and he runs get a test. This is because the average dude is stupid. Also, there’s a trillion situations where people are forced to get tested.
It is really not that hard. In fact the test is often taken when most symptoms are gone but the test still shows positive. It is all bs. I never get tested unless I have to, for example earlier on, for flights, but I am certainly not average, lol.
And everyone you know is vakksed? Where do you live? Israel?
Below Webej had a nice summary of the paths variant X could take. There is one more.
Tolerance.
IgA 4 has been observed at much higher rates with the marnaa vakseenz. What this means is basically the immune system is telling the body “it’s ok don’t attack it. It’s part of us and not dangerous.” That’s great for hay fever or dust mites. Deadly for a virus like SCOV2. What that means is as the virus is replicating the immune system stands back while the virus spreads WITHOUT any symptoms!
By the time the immune system realizes there is a problem it’s too late and the subject is close to expiry. That also explains why it takes so long to clear it for the vakksed.
Scary if that’s true because that means the there is nothing we have now to mitigate this. Absolutely nothing.
You got to remember most people in the UK (I am one of the few lucky Canadians) got both does of Astra Zeneca. Its a similar vaccine to Sputnik. So the UK is likely to do much better and is why the poster is getting different results than the rest of the world.
Hi!
I wouldn’t trust any data on any side!
By chance, I invited my physiotherapist that I recently had taking care of my back to pizza, to get to know her, because I liked her (platonic only ;)). She has seen probably around a thousand of people since these two years. She is vakksed and b00sted. She told me that she observed that vakksed folks have more severe progressions.
After she observed this, she decided not to get herself vakksed any more.
I believe her way more than any data on any side.
Just go directly to doctors, to people who can observe this. And ask them. Don’t trust me 🙂
On there is another story, and it is backed by data in UK and elsewhere. In UK the people on the NHS backlog has exploded. There is official data on this. I met with UK government officials and doctors, late last year. Prior to the pandemic they had a few hundred people on a 1 year back log, now it is a 2 year backlog. Part of this was shutting down services to the pandemic, but even though they have accelerated the clearing efforts after the backlog keep growing. It is approaching, 15% of UK population. They said the backlog was being clear because people just die before getting treated. They are also seeing cancer rates skyrocket in all ages, this is up 8 sigma. Not only that the doctors were saying when people came in before it was at stage 1 or 2, now it is stage 3-4 when they first show up.
The problem with vaykseen injury is that they present as cancer, blood disease, pulmonary issues, endocrine disorders, brain fog, heart attack and stroke, and all sorts of other autoimmunity. We likely do not need a varyiannt x. The damage is already done, it is a lingering death.
Veeeery interesting, thanks. How did you gain access to these people, what do you do for work?
I gained access to these people through education. The UK is caste system sort of works through the schools. I went to one of the right ones over there and they have Alumni benefits. It works a bit the same in the US with ivy leagues, but more pronounced in Europe and UK.
As for work, it is mostly high tech. I started in the US working deep tech – some military and some medical. Now I work mostly in software.
we’ve had vaccines forever…yet this is the first time where everyone knows someone who died from it or are now disabled…I know many… VAERS alone which has been worked over many times to reduce the number of reports yet still tells us how extremely dangerous this vaxx is
I’m with dreiz on this one. Caught the rona 2 months ago. No vacks. Headache, chills, fever day 1+2. On receiving +PCR day 3, I started the FLCCC protocol (IVM, Zinc, NAC, etc.). By day 4, was fine. Got a cough that lingered for about a week. Partner (in another country) got it a month later. On day 2 she started with IVM and rest of protocol. Day 3 all symptoms clear. Got the lingering cough as well. 3 of her sisters caught it in that time frame. All vacks’d with a combo of Pffftizer, Chinovac etc. They were down for 2 weeks at least. BTW I was with partner the entire time she was +. Didn’t have any relapse or any of that crap. I know a few people who caught early on. Took the vacks then caught at least 2 times after.
“Another special “hello” to those of my readers who said I was delusional yesterday…..
…..and to Martyanov and Larry Johnson and the “New Atlas” guy and all the other blind and illiterate alt-pundits who BS’ed you…”
So I guess you won’t be back on The Duran, Alexander Mercouris, or that bearded clown Alex Christofockyou (who can’t seem to be able to pronounce any names correctly) anytime soon? LOL!
It’s sad and amazing how these people are caught into their own little echo chambers, with a loyal troll army that downvotes any comment that doesn’t fit their narrative… It’s very similar how Trump fanboys and Libtards are caught into their own little respective bubbles. Criticising Turmp (especially when it’s backed up with hard facts and literal quotes) does NOT automatically mean that a person votes for the DNC or is a Marxist, and asking questions about the tactics and successes & failures of Russia in the Ukrainian “Special Military Operation” again does not automatically mean that a person wishes ill upon Russia or is in the pro-Ukrainian camp.
p.s. Trump calls himself “…the father of the vakk-seenn…” and he is proud that he “pushed them like they have never been pushed before…” when it came to Big Pharma SKIPPING the testing phases of the ‘glorious’ vakk-seenn.
The MAGA crowd call critics of Trump as suffering from “TDS” but I would like to suggest that these people are suffering from TFS: “Trump Fanboy Syndrome” which is a new form of Cognitive Dissonance.
>So I guess you won’t be back on The Duran, Alexander Mercouris, or that bearded clown Alex Christofockyou (who can’t seem to be able to pronounce any names correctly) anytime soon? LOL!
It’s “Christoforou”, you fuckwit. These people are not mental children from Twitter, who block everyone who dissagree with them. They’re all on the same side, along with Dreizin no matter how differ their opinions may be.
Hey, take it easy. As for the Duran, I haven’t yet said anything about the Alexes at all, but since you mention it, they are on the “side” of making a lot of money. Based on my own brief YouTube experience, I estimate their main YouTube channel alone now grosses about $50,000 per month. As such, they are unable to speak freely and can’t touch certain topics. They don’t touch the vakkseenz, and they had the Biden laptop guy on their show only after (long after) it was already “kosher” to do so. So they have basically become a part of the MSM. A marginal part, but nonetheless. I appreciate them hosting my videos when I was first starting out, but I absolutely do not place myself in the same category as these guys.
>they are on the “side” of making a lot of money.
>I absolutely do not place myself in the same category as these guys
Ok, you’re on the same side “of history”, if you will.
Alex mercouris’s making money does not on its consistute evidence regarding the worth of his commentary. Just as your apparently not making money on your blog does not on its own consistute any kind of evidence. In fact, you do treat making good money as evidence of the value of your commentary when it comes to shorting some European markets!!
Mercouris has infant twins to support and, AFAIK, no day job. Inflation in the UK is off the charts.
You want him to starve in a garret, at his age?
Where did I question the value of Mercouris’ commentary??? I pointed out what he DOESN’T talk about. Sure, we all need to eat. MSM needs to eat, too. It is what it is.
BTW with his following today, he and his wingman could now both make a respectable living on Locals donations alone, if just 5 percent of their active/core audience gave $5/month (or equivalent.) But as I said, he’s running a business, working with the Devil (youtube)… and the money is real good. No, it’s not a sin.
But, understand what you’re subscribing to. He’s no rebel. And I’m not going to cater to his fans who come here and expect a second Duran, and want to complain, fuck that.
All Russia has to do is defend right now, let the West expend men and equipment attacking. Russia can wait out the Europeans throwing their leaders out of office and getting their lives back.
Jacob, come on.
You said ” they are on the “side” of making a lot of money.”
Your implication is obvious, so I am not going to waste space pointing it out.
I think we should listen dispassionately to all sides, since everyone has their prejudices and personal preferences. But be wary of infighting because that’s what “they” would love to see. Nevertheless, interesting to see Jacob’s estimate of how much The Duran makes a month. I don’t mind, as long as they would be open about it (are they?). It may be noted that Mercouris is a disbarred UK barrister because he “engaged in conduct likely to diminish public confidence in the legal profession or the administration of justice or otherwise bring the legal profession into disrepute,”
I don’t recollect The Duran mentioning Dreizin recently. I wonder why?
But perhaps it’s the content that counts, and The Duran has made serious errors of judgement, like they said that Russia would not invade Ukraine. The apology seemed rather weak to me.
Jacob — You said you estimate The Duran easily makes $50k a month, in your experience. I have no knowledge about how much YT contributors make, but the following web sites give much lower estimates for monthly earnings.
https://vidrepeat.com/youtube-money/the-duran-net-worth/
https://starstat.yt/ch/the-duran-net-worth
Any comment?
Thanks. Sorry, I have no time for your links, but before I was demonetized, I made over $400 on a 30-minute video with 25,000 views.
Look over the Duran, their audience size, how often they put out videos, how long those are, and do the math.
Jacob — All I can say is that if I had made the statement that I estimate that The Duran makes at least $50K a month, but someone supplied 2 links to web sites which give much lower estimates, at least I would “find time” (2 minutes?) to at least look at the links provided. I’m not saying you are wrong, but since you stated that the Alex’s were in it for the money, it seems strange that you wouldn’t want to look into it a bit more. I would, but that’s only poor old me. Always like to hear alternative views though.
Get the hell out of here. I receive 15-20 “urgent” weblinks by email, every week. And this isn’t my day job and it doesn’t pay, you understand? Go finish college and start a large family before talking to me again.
And FYI, I have already seen this type of stuff. These online expert estimates presuppose 2 or 5 or 7 minute videos like most people do, not 50-minute videos like Mercouris does. Youtube can fit three or more ad breaks into Mercouris’ videos. That’s why he rambles for so long. He’s a businessman.
My only doubt is the “fact” that the Russians didn´t saw the gathering of troops in that area.
But I´m just a simple engineer.
Thanks for your blog.
Cheers from Portugal!
Uncompromising as always, your slightly twisted satirical takes on current events I’ve found hilarious and very accurate. You must have smashed it with those Euro shorts, well done and thank you for your work.
So I got that vakksed people are fucked after they face the upcomming new severe strain, and there is no escape.
How do you think it will affect the unvakksed people, who maybe got ko-rona once or two times before, or never got it at all? Cause you sound like they shouldn’t be worried. But if it’s more severe, that means if they catch it they will feel it harsher too, right?
And what will happen after that? Will the vy-rus continue to evolve into something even more heavier?
Boro:
Your question is directed to Dreizin, but my own opinion is that we just have to live with it, and take the best care possible of our own health and immune systems. No magic bullets here. There is no point in panicking about the Crown. Recall that there have been some very nasty flus. In my case, I had a flu some years ago that was considerably nastier than the Koof (when I ended up getting i this summer)t. But similar. I believe my anteebodeez from the flu were sufficient to battle the Koof. My main point. Chill! Be grateful to yourself that you made the right decision regarding the jabz (like me–never any flu or Crown jabz—so glad!!). .
Thanks, Jane. I know I’ll be fine, I’m actually worried for my English speaking friends. Being Russian myself it wasn’t hard not to get influenced and avoid the shawt, and even those I know who didn’t – it seems like Spoot-neek isn’t that dangerous. But it’s like 95% of my English speaking friends who got vakk-syn-ay-tted with their poisonous shit. I get attached to people, I love them, I don’t want them gone.
But the more information I find about it, the more I realize that Dreizin is right and most of them, if not all of them, are going to die soon. And there’s no talking them out of this, I’m just sitting here in fear, watching them preparing to jump off a cliff.
Nonetheless, some of my English speaking friends, who didn’t got vakk-syn-ay-tted, are saying they got the rona more than six times (!). When I only got it only once. Considering the highly contagious environment they are in, it’s garanteed that they’ll get the vary-ant X more than once too. So with my first comment I’m trying to predict how much fucked they are.
Hi! I never got vakksed and I had it probably 4 or 5 times (only the first two confirmed, although some family in the house were confimed the other times.) The last few times were no problem. The vakksed are moving in the opposite direction.
The US/Ukraine effort cannot function without US space systems. Disabling them would blind weapons like HIMARS, and the joint C2 effort generally. Russia has a non-nuclear capability to attack satellites. Remember, each of the four KH satellites is the equivalent of Hubble staring down at the earth. The US only has one KH in reserve. Replacing the lot would take a decade and cost tens of billions. Attacking the spy satellites, the GPS satellites, and their associated military and commercial communications systems is a step that could be taken to which the US has no good direct response short of declaring war on Russia, and desperate Putin might be willing to gamble that we don’t actually want to take that risk.
(Note: The Musk StarLink system, conceived as a private sector project, has obvious military capabilities and will be used militarily in Ukraine and elsewhere. The Chinese have publicly made that observation, and issued unsubtle threats that emphasize their capabality to destroy StarLink as necessary. The US sees all space systems as strategic in nature, and as supporting our nuclear deterrent, but has been more than willing to use these strategic systems to carry out our wars with rag tag Third World fighters around the world and, of course, the Russians in Ukraine. We would view an attack on these systems as a degradation of our strategic nuclear capabilities (as it would be), but are blind to the fact that we put these space systems at risk when we use them to “mow the lawn” so to speak. The nuclear/non-nuclear ambiguity of our space assets would make it difficult to formulate an appropriate response if they are attacked in the course of one of these limited conflicts.)
Space force man. Space force. (Bong water bubbling). In all seriousness: if all the major players and proxy players have satellites that can see everything, then isn’t it just obvious that the economics of the military industrial complex (pharmaceutical) of all sides, will just decide where a slow burn will generate the best long term profits? And is the AI on board with this business plan? Or do we just get to watch the media show us where the “rebels” are escalating for short term gains before the system catches up and gently quiets the flare-ups between election/business cycles?
(Assume I am humble and ignorant. Drowning with the masses sliding down the depressing side of the dunning-Kruger curve)
I think going for satellites would be a pretty high bar.
It contradicts past pronouncements, would reap little sympathy in the rest of the world, and would open a new chapter in hostilities that nobody wants and so far only the US hegemon bully has openly courted. I consider it highly unlikely.
Yeah, I do read Martyanov and Larry. I don’t watch New Atlas or Military Summary that often. Very rarely in fact but I do think Martyanov is insufferably arrogant. He’s correct about many things but he does the “extra mile” and it’s tiresome. Larry seems to be very shallow (in content) — i.e., doesn’t go very deep — and often is talking about shit that I don’t care about. Moon of Alabama is more objective.
And whether Russia or the Russiaphiles want to call it a “war” or not doesn’t change that it absolutely *is* a war and the West isn’t gonna just lay down and walk away either. Neither will Russia, I get that, but if they hope to prevail militarily they have to quit playing minor league ball. This is “the show”.
Sure Russia doesn’t sit there and hold ground when they know they’ll be destroyed, they retreat because they have to. Tactical retreat or whatever you wanna call it. They had their asses handed to them and it is significant. Allowing all that equipment to get captured is a major setback. Russia does not have an infinite supply of anything, contrary to some opinions.
IMO (and I’m no military expert) if Russia doesn’t stop playing around and doesn’t hit some major shit hard as hell in the next few DAYS, they’re putting their entire “operation” at huge risk. Command (e.g., Kiev), infrastructure *everywhere*, etc, etc.
Do they answer the “wake up” call or do they fail? That’s where were at.
How can you tell it is not a war?
1. The civilian:military casualty ratio. In the recent past this is reported as about 1:1, for instance in a American operations. That is not counting indirect casualties (such as 200,000 children in Yemen or 500,000 in Iraq). The last UN numbers were around 5000/7000 civilian dead/wounded, and is roughly closer to a 1:20 than 1:1 ratio, despite all the obligatory ‘brutal’ invective.
2. In Kiev there is electricity, gas is streaming to central Europe and Ukraine is collecting transit fees in dollars, people have public transit, electricity, internet, water purification and sewer water treatment, etc. In Aleppo and Baghdad, Americans used special munitions to knock out power transformers/distribution systems, the water purification was out, no electricity or internet (all the reporting as actually from Turkey), complete humanitarian & civilian catastrophe. Raqqa & Mosul were completely obliterated, Korean war style. Don’t forget the American are calling the invasion of Somalia (May22, 2022) a ‘special operation’ as well. You can call it semantics, but there are also real differences.
Thanks. As you say, Martyanov is intolerable and Larry is shallow, in fact he went truly off the deep end with the Ukraine situation, he writes from ignorance but he doesn’t stop with his “Russia is winning every single day” schtick. How’s it going for him now? LOL. Nice guy though, I talked to him a bunch of times as far back as 2020, but not since he lost it. Claims to have been a CIA analyst, yet he goes by the Russian MOD’s “we kill 900 Ukrainians today and every day” bullet points, ridiculous. Moon of Alabama, excellent yes.
Wow! Mr. Dreizin, I really enjoyed watching you on the Duran. I thought this guy seems very informed regarding the logistics of this NATO verses Russia conflict. I looked up your website and read periodically, and have been very discouraged to see how angry you seem. And then just viciously attacking people who have a different point of view. I truly hope you can come to terms with this state of mind. I am just an everyday house wife since retiring. I was a civilian drill instructor at a military school, preparing young adults for life in general or the military. I have always had an interest in the history of war, especially WW2 (nothing serious), so, listening to you speak on the Duran, I thought was very interesting, and I still think your take on these matters is interesting. I’m just disappointed to see how defensive you have become. It seems the trolls are starting to set up camp in your mind. DON’T let them. Everyone has a different take and that is just how it is, especially since there is know way anyone who is not in the thick of war can actually have all the facts. Take care of yourself, we need yours and all takes on these matters. 🌸
Agreed. Putin needs to either sh*t or get off the pot.
ahhh have you not seen the reports of hospitals in Kiev and Kharkov being over capacity with wounded soldiers. they have paid dearly for this stunt with many dead soldiers. Russia doesn’t care about optics they will retreat when necessary to save their soldiers from being encircled. no need to panic i’m pretty sure they will adjust and mobilize troops to counter any gains Ukraine made.
Thanks, I have seen all reports about everything. I’m just giving you the current facts. You can predict as you wish.
OK — do you or anyone reading it know how to buy Ivermectin pills for human consumption? I still can’t find that out except grossly overpriced from abroad.
Yet, in the US still NOBODY is held responsible for half a million or more dead Americans…
I have used Kiwi Drug (New Zealand) to buy cheap Indian product. I can’t vouch for the product, but Kiwi’s reputation is impeccable.
You might want to stop listening to the propaganda.
Alexander Mercouris gives the best up to date analysis.
Mercouris is a disbarred lawyer (pro tip: google “lawyer jokes”) and a charlatan who, together with his dimwit bearded cousin, was still claiming in early February 2022 that ‘Russia won’t invade’ and ‘this is just CIA propaganda.’ Well…on the 24th of February they were proven wrong, and yet he continues to make extremely bold and detailed military calls that are ‘surprisingly’ always in the favour of Russia, despite ‘not being a military expert.’ I guess he is just a shill for Russia and that the SVR and GRU are buying all their hats, mugs and t-shirts. p.s. notice how the 2 Alexes and The Duran always avoid all the controversial KEY Deep State issues like “koro-nah” the ‘vakk-seens’ the QR codes, the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset Agenda. The Duran are like ZeroHedge: a CIA controlled lightning rod where people can write their frustrations and root for an Orange Deep State Actor who won’t change a goddamn thing.
It may surprise you but not everyone is paranoid about “koro-nah” the ‘vakk-seens,’ and wants to talk about it endlessly.
Hey dipshytt. I try to write about the war, the korona, and U.S. politics/society about equally (more or less.) If you feel I am talking about korona vakseenz “endlessly”, that says MUCH more about what YOU want or don’t want to hear, than about me. Furthermore, this is not the Duran or New Atlas, I don’t rely on Youtube for an income, thus I’m free to talk about whatever the fukk I want. You’re free to take your triple-vakksed ass and leave. Make sure to get your fourth boostter, and keep your dogs hungry. And that goes for all of you other one-track war dipshytz. Get the fukk out, all of you.
I agree with you about Ukraine. About two weeks or a little more ago before the counter offensive, I developed misgivings about the Russian strategy. I am no military person, but I do not think I need to be to see that Russia lost the info war long ago due primarily to lying MSM. Rational reasons given for the Russian strategy by pro-Russian sites included, among other things, trying to limit Russian soldier and Russian Ukrainian deaths by moving slowly. However, the longer this goes on, the more people die – period, and the public is not going to make a distinction between who is Russian dead and who is not. Sadly, all this intentional Ukrainian death helps the west, and I imagine the west will release realistic numbers when this is over. These are very cynical and nasty killers. In this sense, Russia will lose.
As for medical issues, I cannot keep up with your terminology and won’t even try. I have gone on with life and feel sad for people with paper gags on their faces. I think they are stupid, to be honest. This was always about control. I am an independent and find both parties disastrous, but the Democrat corporatist/WEF people are now farther right than the Republicans. The parties otherwise are the same for the most part. Both despicable, but I do hope Rand Paul will investigate where this health issue originated. A weapon is a weapon.
I’m trying to stop LOL reading one of your finest statements today. I need to put it here: “If you have a problem with me speaking on this matter without a brain surgery degree, get the hell off my blog. Don’t ask me for weblinks to “prove my case”, just go. I don’t have to be the resident general practitioner on CNN (yeah, a real vyrus expert!!!) to see patterns and trends.” You’re a man of conviction, and this conviction is encouraging others. Keep on it !
Thanks.
Mr Driezen, where did you locate the ivermectin? I’m in NZ and our dear leader wanna be dictator makes importing ivermectin impossible. My very elderly mother has like 8 co morbiditys so would be great to have a ration just in case she catches it
I’m beginning to believe that the US/NATO/Ukraine can take back, not just the Donbass, but Crimea as well given enough time and more advanced Western weapons. The latter are sure to come at an accelerated pace following this debacle in Kharkov.
Which could not have come at a strategically worse time for Russia: Liz Truss is now PM in Britain and Chrystia Freeland, who lists Ukrainian Banderite ancestry among her credentials, seems slated to become the head of NATO. The USA for its part will continue to turn the screws on Russia regardless whether Tweedledum or Tweedledee (Republicans/Democrats) is in control in Washington.
I don’t know what it is about the collective Russian psyche that they seems to need to suffer greatly, and in this case unnecessarily, before they get their shit together during a major war. It might be some sort of Martyr Complex. They may need to suffer terribly before they can bring themselves to inflict any kind of serious hurt on their mortal enemies. Someone with the psychology credentials should do a study.
Meanwhile the Kremlin seems to have come to the disastrous decision to cap not just the number of the forces but also the number and nature of the weapons it will allow itself in Ukraine, regardless what the circumstances. Putin for his part is gallivanting all over Asia trying to build a coalition of the spineless and the powerless while the Ukrainians with all-out support from the West inch ever closer to the pre-2014 Russian borders.
If that happens Putin will end up in the IC in Hague, Russia will be broken up – if they have learned anything from the NATO/U.S. war against Serbia, they can’t allow that to happen under any circumstance.
The ICC is recognised by neither the USA nor Russia. Therefore you won’t see Putin or any Russians there nor Biden Blinken or any Americans there. Everyone knows the ICC is just a sham to run the peons through.
What a load of bollocks. You think a tactical withdrawal spells the end for Russia? Has Ukraine got endless reserves of manpower and equipment? Certainly considerably less than Russia and they have a zero chance of defeating Russia with or without NATO under any circumstances. So what does Russia have to do? Not a lot actually other than lock themselves in place because contrary to popular opinion the longer this goes on it’s Russia’s enemies who will get weaker, not Russia. How do you think Europe will be looking after 2 years without gas? Worse than now that’s for certain. For Russia, this war is being fought a short drive from home which ensures that any setback is retrievable and resupply is ensured.
It is a mistake to second guess what will happen in war and this conflict has a long way to go before it ends. Europe is facing a huge crisis this winter and no amount of small gains the Ukrainians make is going to change that fact. Is the Russian army collapsing, I don’t think so but I do think they are trying to fight a war with the minimum number of troops and tactics. And this is probably because Putin thinks he can mend fences with Europe, that is a major mistake because there is no going back for Europe as it has nailed itself to it’s US master. Just a possible thought about why the Russians pulled back so quickly, they are setting up the conditions for peace talks to start as Ukraine now have their victory. If this is so then expect the second war to start within 18 months to 24 months.
Thanks, but who is second guessing? I’m just stating facts. Yes, the real fun hasn’t even started yet.
I was talking generally about second guessing and I include myself in that as I can only go on the information available on all the different echo chambers LOL
You are so rude to people and I’m not sure whether to laugh or not. I hope you are right about the vacc sin hated but wrong about Ukraine. We shall see…….
Hello. I’m not rude to my readers. I’m rude to the readers whom I don’t want. I get a lot of triple-vakksed Eurotrash and “old school” lefty-Leninists coming here, looking to get their war-and-war-only fix. I don’t want these people. Their dogs will eat them.
Got my first dreizen email notification! I happened upon your work and been lurking for quite awhile. Basically, due diligence on my part. Despite, all your bluster you are solid with what you present and when I saw you do a correction, I signed up. I only join direct email lists of 5 or so other independent types “bloggers/Journos/Analysts ect…” all covering different slices of News and Politics. Dreizin(did the misspelling annoy?) , serve your info on a big platter of “fuck yerself” for all I care, the facts and context are what matter. Looking forward to the next.
Lol thanks
Hey Jacob would you be kind enough to give me a definition of Eurotrash?
Thank you
Sure… When I was in MBA school in Singapore, there were a number of European students, most of whom were lazy and would disappear for 1, 2, or 3 week vacations to Thailand or Burma in the middle of a semester, forcing others to do their group work for them. They complained a lot, and were not used to doing any work, beyond perhaps one or two PowerPoint slides. They seemed to have no interests beyond momentary pleasure. The exceptions were an (east) German guy, a Swiss German guy, and a Dutch guy. The very worst were a French Belgian guy, a Spanish guy, a Dutch girl, my rich-kid Russian housemate who had emigrated to France and spoke perfect French, and (not quite so bad, but also useless) an Irish guy. Also a group of three dumbass, lazy, degenerate Spanish and Portuguese who were only there for a summer program. Those are the ones I observed well and remember, anyway. There was also a large summer group of Norwegians, but I just don’t recall them well. What’s interesting is the Europeans I remember (even the non-trashy three whom I mentioned) would stick together and refuse to associate on a non-study basis with anyone not European, while the Americans in the program (such as myself) would mingle with the various Asians, we had no preference in that regard. Otherwise, why study in Asia?
One Ukrainian journalist at the front had this to say:
“There is heavy fighting near Kupyansk, worse than Balakleysky. We are taking heavy losses. The enemy is transferring a bunch of reserves by air. The “Wagnerites” have already arrived in the city itself. The sky is filled with aircraft. Hearing about all this, a haunting feeling of an ambush arises in the soul. What if this all really turns out to be a strategic level ambush?”

Winter is coming. If Russia now finally gets serious and stops thinking this is a glorified police operation then I agree that we will see Ukraine totally wrecked and Europe will get very cold very soon. It’s a nightmare scenario.
And yes, the vak-seen scares me like crazy too. Especially now that new boos-ters seem to be in place.
The period since March 2020 has been the most frightening period of my life, and I saw the latter stages of the Cold War. Was nothing like this. Our own governments are the enemy. Or maybe people like you have just helped me see through the lies.
By the way, I see The Duran as entertainment more than anything else. Most entertainers want to be paid.
Lol. True true.
I call them 2 The Chuckle Brothers. Always make me laugh
>If Russia now finally gets serious and stops thinking this is a glorified police operation…
I don’t think that’s what they’re really doing. I assume Russia and China are stalling until the midterms. By stalling I mean, Russia “holds” the line and China isn’t invading Taiwan. I think they’re waiting for republicans to take over, cause it seems like republicans are against spendings on Ukraine and Taiwan. Meaning weapons and money flow from US will be cut off. If republicans will win – now it’s easier. If they won’t – that sucks, oh well, no point in stalling then. So with this logic it’s a given that they will go full “gloves off” after November or so anyway.
It kinda explains why the counter-offensive’s happening at this momment. Time is running out, there’s a change that there might be no support in two months. Better do that promised big counter-offensive now so you’ll get more support and money out of it.
If someone knowledgeable thinks I’m wrong, please, correct me.
The Republicans are helping the Democrats shovel as much money and weapons as possible to Ukraine, and will continue to do so if they take Congress.
Lynsey Graham seems more bellicose than anyone. I think the Republicans are part of the same money go round as the Dems. Not sure the mid terms will solve anything.
There is a person or persons who have posted the financial arrangements of all the pols in Congress. It’s in a spread sheet format and is quite possibly the easiest place to find up to date information. Unusual Whales dot com is the site should you wish to find such information. I’m pretty sure there is a decent amount of our elected charlatans who have benefited from great stock deals in companies who provide great entertainment via camera mounted missiles that are directed via tightly wound light beams into the face of an unsuspecting dupe who dares to chat on a phone link anywhere in the world. Cheers!
You know in the post before this one, I couldn’t help but laugh at your comment to one of your followers – get off the ledge. It was comical as, but I can sympathise with that person as I too only want to hear good news.
Your estimate on their “YouTube channel alone now grosses about $50,000 per month…” Wow, that’s a pretty good nut, and see why one wouldn’t want to upset that apple cart. Puts a different perspective on their context too. I was guessing around 10K.
Yup. Before I got demonetized partially and then fully, I made $400 on a half-hour YouTube video with 25,000 views (or clicks anyway, whether or not people view it till the end.) The Duran typically has at least 3X that number of views per 30 to 90 minute video (more time for ads), which they do 5 or 6 times a week (if you include livestreams that they post as videos later), not counting superchats, not counting Christoforos’ own channel (which also has tens of thousands of viewers for every video), not counting donations on their Locals site, or merchandise sales. So, yes, at least $50,000 gross per month, perhaps not on just the main channel alone, but all-around, definitely.
Hot damn, now you make me wish my wife had more cleavage and a better script delivery. Very useful information right there, folks.
there’s no question that Mercouris’ only skill is to make 50+ minute videos out of nothing. Just appalling. And the consistency he has in doing that is remarkable; every single day, at times, twice a day. Anyone with one brain cell left should be able to see that he is milking it big time lol
I hate to say it but they all set at the same table. I really wanted Russia to be the exception but watching the ukraine/nato/west counteroffensive unfold has made me see this conflict in a clear perspective. I was deceived. In hindsight I view the climate delusion as the biggest threat to our existence because everyone is on board with the media shouting climate catastrophes constantly. The world has already been primed for another major disaster due to their brilliant brain washing the last couple of years It is all culminating to the implementation of surveillance, financial collapse, draconian governmental controls, self inflicted food shortages self inflicted energy shortages etc. Let’s face it we are under judgement and it is not going to get better but only worse. My advice would be to humble ourselves before God and prepare to suffer.
–“Low yield nukes” invocation (in this & last article) is beyond silly & beneath the otherwise quality content usually found here and well into dumb “click bait” material. May not even see a Russian MOAB (which would be good for intimidation purposes even if not tactically useful) since it hasn’t been used already (not likely to see it ever). Up-to-or-until NATO declares War the risk of any nuke (by either side, save for a dirty bomb by Ukraine) is ZERO.
–Large, thousand-man-plus grouping of Ukrainian troops marching in column pushing recent offensive should have been picked up by real-time space based Russian ISR. Major failure allowing a large grouping like that to form totally unmolested in any way. So many questions raised by this…
–Zero danger of Ukraine crossing into Russian border, as this would make it very easy politically for Russia to declare War or otherwise bring more resources to the conflict and also erases Kiev’s “moral high ground” not to mention Ukraine simply can’t sustain such an offensive.
” Money & weapons will really pour in *now* ”
–LOL. This was ALWAYS going to be the case, regardless of scenario. The war will last as long as the money spigot is kept on — too much money flowing around Kiev for the war to ever end until literally The Last Ukrainian. Most of all, though, Kiev isn’t feeling the war… for there to be any (possible) political end, that will have to change because the money & weapons will eternally flow.
–Ukraine *is* going scorched earth. Easy for them to do in majority Russian areas of Donbas (as you articulate well) but also their own territory because once they lose it, they likely know it wont be regained, anyway — so, going forward, I foresee scorched-earth all the way back to Kiev.
–Russian “slow, careful strategy” is dictated by limited number of used troops, yes — but also I see within the theory of Maximum Pain (for The West). There’s a SOVIET-esque
–Even if Ukraine successfully takes whatever territory they want to take in The West, it wont be decisive, the war is and was always going to be decided in The South.
–Tangentially related… Ukrainian AA still very effective after this many months of conflict. Russian air assets basically still useless after this # of months.
Thanks for your comments, you should do your own blog as you seem to be a true expert.
Regarding “”Zero danger of Ukraine crossing into Russian border””…..
Ukrainian sabotage and commando teams have been routinely crossing the Russian border since early April if not March (though have done somewhat less damage the last month or two.) Likewise, Ukrainian cannon and mortars have been firing into Russia every few days since April.
I’d correct some of your other points but there’s just so many, no time. But, thanks for reading and commenting.
we’ve all been there. we’ve all been smart enough to blog. The world has transcended this moment, going from semi literate blogs, to short attention span twitter, to self censorship, to the final oblivion of unctuous weasels like gonzo telling us who we should and shouldn’t listen to on rumble. don’t be like gonzo. I love the ideas in this corner of the still awake not woke internet. Hard to explain to my kids why they should even read but still I try.
Krstyina Freeland( WEF Board of Trustees+Canadian Deputy PM, with a WHOLE Nazi Granda collab history) the day after the maidan coup, she did a photo op waving the azov flag….2014. 2015- 2016 Canadian Forces were ordered to train the UKr forces, the Canadian Spec Ops REFUSED outright without plausible deniabilty on account of AZOV( shortly after the odessa burnings ect….). They trained the UKr Forces, supplied them and turned a blind nazi eye…. until very recently, they got a make-over into a “regiment”. Between Freeland and Nuland, I think the Biden;s were just trying to keep up and play the big boy game, and sent Hunter.
I hope you keep this up, but if you get to a subscriber model eventually, then please send me an email. When I figure out how much of a future I have left, then I might be in position to join.
How disappointing. All that work for months just to pull out in a matter of days. Not to mention the countless amount of equipment that has been lost.
You’re right. The worst part is the loss of the trust of the civilians in not just Kharkov, but the other parts of Ukraine as well.
Oh, damn! I forgot to add to: “Only, I’m afraid they may not have much of a Federal government to rule over, on the other side of their nap.” I agree, but don’t forget their lock on so many state governments, and if anyone things sleaze is a federal thing, they know nothing about local/state government. Weak Fed may indeed create more opportunities. (scrunches shoulders, tucks in head waiting for the mocking by Dreizen, but happy the price of a lesson is so cheap, even feel a bit guilty about it).
Oh yes there will be huge opportunities. Why would I argue that?
Hello,
I just received notice of this article, literally 2 minutes ago and there are already comments all over the place?
I didn’t join for the war talk either. I was really interested in your comments about Covid going after the vaccinated because I was reading other sources were saying that was very possible. You haven’t said anything recently about that and was wondering when you think this could or will happen.
Thanks
Why don’t you scroll past the war talk, you will find what you’re looking for….
I see that but timing is what I was looking for?
I made the mistake and scanned to quick my bad.
Not vaccinated and not in the family either. I really think what you were talking about is going to happen. Friend was in the hospital yesterday and I talked to a nurse who rotates between Covid and Intensive care in Omaha NE. She said not busy and that most there for Covid had multiple other issues as well as Covid. But most are making it out alive. Also have a friend that is a Anesthesiologist and he had done over 250 vents for Covid and zero in the last year Chicago area. Curiosity on timing on this mess is what I am wondering your thoughts on.
Thanks
Watch my last few videos on Rumble. They are posted on this blog also. It’s all in there. Thanks.
I will watch them thank for your reply!
Tony
I’m triple javelined. I knew I didn’t need it physically and that it was probably more likely bad for me but I had to get it to travel internationally during the whole hysteria period so that I can see my dying mother. Got sick every time I had the javelin. I’m okay now though.
With regards to Ukraine, would Ukraine be able to hold onto the newly gained grounds? Seems like their supply line will be really stretched?
Replying to Tony and cooooo viiiid rates: After a person is hospitalized for cooo viid for 12 days (I believe that’s the cutoff) you can’t list them as a cooo viid death; can call it respiratory arrest or something else, anything but coooo viiiid. Thank your govt for that. So when you see the statistics falling, remember, it was just an order given by our friendly honest govt. So don’t be surprised that there are not any cooooo viiiiid people on vents.
The ‘pubs are supposedly coming out with a new and improved “Contract with America” this month sometime, lead by McCarthy who wants the speakership as badly as any politician ever has. They put up a website about it soliciting the little folk for their ideas/suggestions, which is probably BS. Anyway, the point is that this is apparently the branding thing you complain is lacking. Too late? Possibly. We’ll see if it’s good or not, but I’m not a fan of McCarthy, so I’m cynical on this contract thing. We’ll see.
As far the war goes, my thinking is Russia didn’t come all this way just to blow it in the end. This is Russia’s “Battle of the Bulge”, and I expect Russia to step up, but we’ll see. I think the Biden regime is just desperate to prevent a Ukraine collapse before the November elections. I was hoping Russia would wrap up the DonBas liberation part of the special operation before November, there is still time to recover, but hope is fading of delivering a humiliating defeat to the Biden regime before the election. However, I’m going to remain an optimist (for now) that the House and Senate will go red in November.
To answer the rhetorical question about what was the point of the vakx if it’s useless in stopping or preventing the dread virus? 1) Optics – the Gubment shows it’s ‘doing something’ to a frightened populace, and more importantly 2) Billions and Billions of printing press dollars to big pharma. There could be a third – the authoritarian obedience experiment many have been discussing.
Never a dull moment!
LOL, another contract with america huh. It’s perhaps a little late. Thanks for clueing me in.
You say the govt wanted to relieve a frightened populace… but it was the government that deliberately terrified the populace in the first place!!
Without the globally coordinated terror campaign by WHO and all the governments of the world from the very outset, the whole thing would have been just another “flu.” (Cove id and influenza have similar fatality rates.)
And if governments had not deliberately censored and suppressed effective early treatments such as hide rock seek lore O’Quinn and I’ve ‘er meck tin, the mortality rate would have been even lower than that of the flu.
I’ll just say this: Only Liberals give a shit about PR because for them definitions create reality rather than the other way around. Neopronouns are perhaps the best example of this.
Yes they gave up some ground but they may very well be slaughtering these National Battalions in the process. We’ll have to see.
You are right though, it will all depend on just how far the Ukrainians can push East.
I don’t see how you can come to the conclusion that Russia may retreat to the border or that it is a complete collapse. We are basically talking about an assumption that the Donetsk militia having people sufficiently trained to hold territory that has been taken. We now know that this assumption has run its course. Some of the militia was sufficiently well trained to hold a position and others were ill prepared. The question is how does Russia resolve this problem in a way that satisfies the Russian population in Russia as well as the two Donbass republics. Most likely it will mean temporarily pulling back from positions that cannot be defended properly. Better to do that and have a clear plan going forward for how to secure towns and villages than to lead with their ego which is the default mode of the west. This is the equivalent of Martina Navratilova winning 6-0 6-0 3-0 and then her opponent having a break point on Navratilova’s serve. If Russia handles it well, they will continue steamrolling through since Ukraine doesn’t have neither the personnel nor military hardware to hold those small towns and villages.
There’s been some substanial (slow) advances, but I haven’t seen Russia “steamrolling” anywhere since early March, and everyone knows I am not biased against Russia. Yes, they need a new plan. We’ll see.
The one they have clearly has not worked, I still see a Actual declaration of war and mass mobilization as the only way forward.
As the money and weapons and I think even personnel will keep pouring in to Ukraine from NATO Countries, somebody needs to tell Vlad they are fighting an actual no holds barred war.
They are starting to pound Ukrainian infrastructure(Uncle Sam would have been doing this from day one)
We will see War is a fickle mistress at the best of times.
I think the names say it all….Kharkiv Region has fallen becasue the Russians had no forces their….why, becasue they likely have no local militia and the bulk of available Russian forces are in Donbass, Kherson and Zaporizhia….I suspect DPR militia are no where near Izium…why?? because its not in Donbass so the local militia being used to hold captured ground in DPR / LPR are not available….The Russians basically dont have the numbers to defend and attack with the geography involved…..As such the Russians had to either deploy Russian Professional troops to defend and hold ground – at which point they are fixed and unavailable for offensive operations…or they could withdraw……they have withdrawn and fallen back to a. more defensible terrain and b. the Russian border (manned by their conscript forces….). And if Ukr actually attacks across the Russian Border then Putin is Mr Happy as he can then fully take the gloves off with much reduced political ramifications on the home front……Thats my reading on it…..
From here its likely becoming apparent the Russians need more men to finish this…otherwise Ukr / Nato just replenishes losses faster than the Russians can destroy them and this goes on and on….maybe this works for the Russians as well, as long as this lasts Im guessing the weaker and more chaos in Europe…..or maybe not – maybe Russia suffers more the longer this goes on – I simply dont know…the economic, social and political sustainability of Russia are just to unknown to me……
On a fundamental level – Russia should have it in the Bag…it has the resources and can in theory remain relatively more “self sufficient”…..Europe / UK just has funny money and financialisation…..
But perception can hold more sway than reality…..Ive seen this first hand on so many levels…..
Not wanting to be to much of a conspiracy theorist but this war dragging out over winter works well for the Brits / Europeans on this level;
Excess deaths are increasing in a number of countries since “you know what…..now with energy shortages over winter, excess deaths in Europe and UK will go thru the roof I suspect….the good news from a politicians perspective is that this will help to mask the excess deaths from “you know what”….
They can then blame it all on Russia, industrialize at the same time – jobs all good done!!! Reset accomplished and the current crop of politicians remain fairly blameless….not sure it will work out that way but prehaps that’s the plan……
Whats the longterm objective of Europe / UK / Davos (or whoever)…Im guessing namely they want to dismember Russia and get all those resources for well below market prices….for some reason unfathomable to me they simply seem unwilling to simply bribe / buy of senior Russian leadership / treat them as equals at the table….or the Russian Leadership actually has some loyalty to Russia????
Why was Putin in East Russia doing business deals at the same time Russia knew a counteroffensive was coming? Cmon Ukraine had been Twitter twitching about this for weeks. I have to believe this was a “win” given by Russia so Ukraine could claim a victory to leverage an upcoming peace agreement.
Think what a peace agreement will do for Biden’s Dems in November if this were to happen-stocks to the moon, warm feet for Europe this winter and lower energy costs to dampen inflation.
Why would Putin want to help the Dems this November by providing them with a peace agreement? Better to help bring them down by keeping up the fight.
Also, why not take a page out of Reagan’s book:
That is, the Repugs make some kind of deal with Putin behind Biden’s back, as Reagan did with Carter. And didn’t someone use this maneuver during the Vietnam conflict?
Did the Russians take a risk by leaving this sector thinly defended:absolutely. Will it pay off: that remains to be seen.
But if what Mercurous said is true and the Russians are more interested in destroying Ukraine’s Army than in conquering terrain then a pullback for some sort of operation does make sense.
The lack of Russian casualties and POW’s also makes me think someone gave this withdrawl a lot of thought. Hence my belief that this withdrawl was deliberate if not preplanned.
In one sense i think Dreizin is incorrect here. If the Ukrainians simply take back ground without degrading Russian combat capability what would be gained o an strategic and even a tactical level? More importantly what did it cost the Ukrainians in terms of manpower,fuel ammo or coverage of other fronts to achieve this? There are certainly political gains that can be made but this latest counterattack doesn’t appear to leave Ukrainians any stronger on the battlefield.
I believe this situation could play into Russia’s goal of engaging a huge chunk of the Ukrainian Army and breaking it. By drawing as many Ukrainian forces as possible into a single area they could accomplish their goal. This isn’t to say that they will but the opportunity does exist.
Sure the Russians could push forward but it would require more troops more equipment and ever longer lines of supply. Instead of fighting the enemy deep within his territory why not fight him on your door step? Close to your airbases and infrastructure.
Or this could be some crazy back door deal on the part of Zelensky and the Russians via Erdogan.
All I know is this. The Ukie’s launched an attack in a sector that the Russians deliberately left open. The Russians knew it the Ukie’s know it and they still attacked anyway.
At a very minimum I think there is more than meets the eye.
Good point!
As long as there’s no significant difference between the two parties regarding the fiscal and foreign policy, nor willingness to uphold the actual Constitution, it really doesn’t matter who takes up the seats in the House.
Neither for you in the US, nor for us on the other side of the pond.
This Ukraine surge looks like a very large “cauldron” I hear Russian commanders prefer. I assume the Ukraine forces in it will be liquidated, but slowly, with the local pro-Russian civilians suffering even more than the Ukraine pro-Nazi soldiers. Hopefully most of the affected civilians already evacuated to Russia. I fear not. War is hell.
I’m a bit surprised by the Ukrainian troop success. The amount of time needed to train professional GI’s is at least a year from what I’ve seen, and that’s just for a rifleman. Maybe a combination of motivated troops advancing on undermanned old reservists is really all there is to it. I enjoy your take and wish you and your family well, God Bless.
Hello! For the most part, it was veterans who were retrained and reequipped by the U.S. & Co. Not new recruits.
Hmmm, I’ve been coming here for analysis, not to see other commentators and analysts being slagged off for having a different point of view. It’s surprising tbh.
Anyway and for what it’s worth, I can’t see the Russians collapsing, or ‘doing an Afghanistan’ in terms of abandoned equipment and panicked evacuation. Or giving up the territory they’ve already gained. Or being scared by NATO. Or even beaten by NATO whose members haven’t faced a capable, well-equipped and disciplined modern army in battle since the Second World War. None of the NATO members has even won a war since 1945. The Russians know what their weaknesses are and where their command centres are…and they can take them out any time they like, as they did near Lviv some months ago.
By the way, while the photo at the top of this column shows a Russian surrendering to German troops, it’s worth remembering that this didn’t decide the course of the conflict…it was just one victory in a avalanche of defeats for Germany.
Yes OK but the photo is supposed to be from Kharkov area, 1942.
Being a Russia born and raised naturalized US citizen with still remaining connections in Russia itself (and Ukraine) I am quite amazed by how much credit is given to Putin and Russian military.
Definitely not the attitude most russians (with IQ above room temperature) share.
I guess in comparison to last US presidential elections candidates and presidents he looks formidable but that’s pretty much it.
No one in Russia wants to fight anyone, the country had enough during the XX century. Think Germany these days – no fight left.
Want to finish off Russia? Here is a quick tip – provide US greencards to ANYONE other there, no strings attached. Be mindful and show respect AND (drums please) the 90% of population will be happy to accept. No moving necessary, just make sure to execute all oligarchs and high eleshon apparatchiks over there. Then enjoy 80+ new happy US states. The critical point is >respect<, the is exactly the main mistake so called combined West have made in this conflict but fanning russophobia.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine matters to Uncle Sam. Russia’s economy is the size of Italy (not to speak of Ukraine), so the idea of Russia somehow being a “threat” to US hegemony is just laughable. The real war is waged against Europe, just like the previous two “instances” — so far pretty successfully this time round as well. Where exactly this all ends on the ground in Ukraine is completely irrelevant.
Mr. Dreizin, I was wondering if you are familiar with works of Sergey Zharikov from Russia? I guess his most famous project is Zhirinovsky’s public image (though that’s days long gone). nowadays he blogs and writes books where he shares rather peculiar views on the nature of the ruling elites in Russia and other post-Soviet countries and the inner logic of their interactions with the outside world, Uncle Sam being in need of a global spoiler, etc. Thanks!
Thanks but wrong, Russia matters as while it’s no threat, it’s presently the only glue holding U.S. hegemony over Europe together. Ukraine also matters, as it replaced Iraq/Afghanistan as the one giant open-ended gravy train for the U.S. military-industrial complex.
Stop with the economy size of Italy bullshit. It’s retarded. You sound like some tool on CNN.
You know, farms in the USA are only 2 or 3 percent (maybe) of the economy, but without them everyone starves and dies. It’s the same with Russian gas.
Mr. Dreizin, could you elaborate on Russia holding US hegemony over Europe together? As time goes by with this stupid war, it seems EU is only getting more dependent on their US overlords, isn’t it? NATO ramping up its presence, Germany committing crazy billions to the mil-ind complex, forced weaning off cheap energy, making EU exports more expensive and thus less competitive, locking themselves out of the Russian market (140 million of consumer is not something to sniff at) — Uncle Sam must be pretty happy about all of these things! Of all the main players in the field, Europe seems to be in deepest shit right now. Wittingly or unwittingly, Russia is playing a major role in this, regardless of what the collective “Putin’s brain” thinks. Re. Ukraine — just wanted to say that in of itself it doesn’t make any difference to US (despite the usual laughable BS on UA’s “love for freedom”, “unique” culture and other similar crap) — just another shithole serving its utilitarian purpose far away from the mainland, just as you point out.
There is a meme that goes around: Two biggest wishes of an average Serb: Destruction of America, and to get a Green cad.
Still, I don’t think anyone in the world hates America (and Great Britain) as much as an average Serb. That’s why President Vucic is afraid to place sanctions on Russia just as much as recognizing Kosovo. So the meme is 1/2 correct. We will never forget or forgive what the U.S. has done to us.
This song “USA” says it all (yes I know, they’re Bosnians not Serbs but the sentiments are the same)…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5BJxrarL0
Why the stupid spelling? I can understand it on Twitter and Youtube and the rest of the communist social media -but no one is going to sensor you here right?
Sadly, I don’t actually own this blog. It’s on a “platform.”
I think the Russians dropped the ball and got caught with their d’s in their hands. With that said I do have a sneaky suspicion that they have an ace up their sleeves with this mass retreat though and I do believe the coke head in Kiev and the PEDO in Washington are almost dumb enough to fall for it. Where did these endless lines of troop carriers and heavy armor seen crossing into Crimea get off too, it’s like they just disappeared into the DPR? The passed week the Russians have moved something close to 70-80,000 troops into the theatre and more are on the move from various bases across Russia. If my calculations are correct all hell is about to break loose on the ukelanders and nobody is saying a word about it. Kherson was a disaster and this latest push was into an area with little to no defenders who have let them push just far enough to be surrounded on three sides. I have a feeling that a lot of Ukrainian mothers are about to have their hearts ripped out of them in about 3 days.
Or just russian copium. They have tried to capture that punny little town Bahmut for a month now and haven t accomplish shit and you are saying that the russians will win this?
OK, but it’s not about the size of the town, it’s about the size and quality of the force defending it.
America flops around in Iraq for 10 years, Afghanistan for 20 years and you mock Russia for failing to take a town after a month! Okay!
That’s because NATO and friends had eight years to build the defences and quite rightly the Russians and their allies believe that war is not about dieing for your country but making some other dumb bastard dies for his. So it takes time. Sieges always do.
I just want to say thank you for what you do Jacob. I’m with you on all counts, and particularly on those shitty vakks-skenes. Wishing you the best.
One factor I’ve been considering in Putin’s “measured” advance in Ukraine is the extreme vulnerability of Russia’s energy infrastructure. If Russia, justifiably, struck targets outside the conflict zone, it could conceivably result in a strike, for instance, on the Siberian oil infrastructure. This would be catastrophic for Russian oil production and would take years to repair, largely due to the adverse conditions of the region.
And who would strike the oil infrastructure în Siberia? It s în Siberia, thousands of km from the war zone.
LOL
Always enjoy the Don Rickles side of Jacob’s commentary.
That’s all you get.
I don’ care what’s happening in Ukraine, we’re all going to doe in the next twelve months. I have that on the highest authority.
Sad that the comments section is now reflecting the intelligence of a Rumble comments section. And Why the need to bad mouth …’and to Martyanov and Larry Johnson and the “New Atlas” guy and all the other blind and illiterate alt-pundits who BS’ed you or else just fell silent in recent days’? Is this an American thing?
Is New Atlas blind and illiterate because he doesn’t think the Kharkov ‘counter-offensive’ is whatever? It’s just opinions. Are they claiming Imprimatur with Papal infallibility?
Bloody hell, you seem to be running down Silly street after you took a wrong turn off Hysteria Avenue. Keep it together. You sound like a bunch of bitching 14 year old girls.
Dang, sounds like I put down your favorite youtube show. From now on, the Dreizin Report is going to be a 1980s-style WWF promo. Not everyone will be able to handle it.
Been following all of the mentioned commentators. Even with great interest at first since it was (and still is) impossible to hear anything but agitprop from our MSM. Even WSJ, which is still the last hope for some independent thought, though barely.
6 months after it is clear they they are full of it – either by harvesting clicks by being contrarian or straight on RT’s payroll or just, in Martyanov’s case, mostly grandstanding.
The Duran guys, to their credit, fairly quickly changed their tune to openly skeptical, although I can only listen to Alexander M – his competent and calm manner of delivery is easy on the ears.
There is no ‘special plan’ by Putin or whatever. They make stuff up as they go. And learn at the same time. The idea to use DPR / “volunteers” etc as canon fodder was wonderful – no trouble at home and no need to pay 7M rubles death benefits as it would be if the actual Russian soldiers were the frontline troops. I guess that has to change now since as Kherson clearly demonstrated the gap in effectiveness between actual military (paratroopers which are the main assault force in Russia) vs DPR infantry – which are mostly reservists, often drafted at gunpoint.
Russia does not have much time left to accomplish whatever they thinking of accomplishing militarily – NATO, following the euphoria of the latest counter-offensive will supply Patriots and F16s and whathaveyou. With crews. And since ALL Putin’s threats and warning etc were bluff, there is nothing stopping NATO from getting brazen.
The war is very close to over.
I cannot imagine the use of nukes by Russia – this is NOT USSR, there is NO ideology any different from your average ‘Westerner’. No one want to die.
Speaking of ideology – this remains a major negative factor for Russia as well. What do they have to offer for the ‘liberated’ (lol) population? St George ribbons? WW2 cult? Please remember that is competing with EU membership etc. No brainer right ?
Thanks but the EU won’t give them squat. Been dangling them for 9 years already. Probably longer even, but that’s how long I’ve been keeping track. Even if they were in, so what? They can all freely travel as refugees already. The EU can’t afford to subsidize them as with Poland (something like 13 billion/year) and all the other parasite countries. It’s tapped out. It’s all coming down anyway. Dogs will eat them. Maybe open your eyes a little? You seem quite capable of observation, despite your mild anti-Russia bias.
These are people that let their capital burn and lost 30 million dead rather than surrender. Many others would defend every town they took and lose the final battle, not Russians. Losing 10 or 20k is nothing as long as the tribe emerges victorious.
War is Hell and all, and nobody gets that more than Russians.
It’s over, Russia just won this war…
Are you reading about veye olie gists who now claim there is no such thing as a veye russ, such as Stefan Lanka? There are others. Their arguments make sense to me. But I haven’t seen that any of them explain if the Kroner veye-russ doesn’t exist, what has been causing all the illness and deth es.
With all due respect Jacob, NATO helps massively with logistic and intelligence, but you can’t make a fighter out of carpenter or baker in 2 months training in UK. Not to mention capable NCO which take even longer to train.
These were mostly Ukr veterans who were brought into the U.S./UK pipeline. Not new recruits.
It’s surely not by chance that ONE single and very important aspect associated to the unique vaaqzination strategy of Pfz and Mod (that unlike the alternative ones was never tried before 2020 in humans) has been complety ignored. More specifically, the use of synthetic polynucleotides, (wrongly named messengers RNA) as immunogens opens the possibility for retrotranscription and integration into the vaxxed individual cell genome of (vaxRNA to) DNA copies with potential mutagenic effects (genotoxicity) in the long run. Papers coauthored by R.Zinkernagel (Nobel prize winner) in 2009 and more recently by MIT and Swedish groups ( Zhang etc al. 2021 and Alden et al. 2022) give full credibility to this hypothesis. It’s completely nuts that these kind of immunization has been approved for massive use in humans, let alone children with 0 (zero)chances of severe disease (and now that it’s, in addition, completely evident that vaakzination doesn’t stop spreading the virus and neither the , very low chances, ” to kill the nanny” at home).
Yes, I believe I heard Dr Judy Mikoits make very similar comments this past week on Greg Panglis podcast.
Damn Jacob, maybe you need to stay away from fresh produce, eg, lemons. It’s alright to to have more or less different opinions that’s fine . Some commentators even produce receipts which is awesome.Bottom line is no one has direct connections to Puty so no one really has solid s**t theories as to what’s going on . I’ve listened to one guy that had some info that made a lot of sense , but you already kicked his a** to the curb.
Didn’t you write that you won’t report on the war like ‘all the idiots’ becasue it’s a ‘done deal you idiots’? 🙂
Yes it is.
So what’s the conclusion than, Russia will still crush the Ukrainians?
How is it finished? Nuclear weapons aside, wich would be a nightmare scenario of course. Im not asking for 30 minutes response just two phrases. Thanks
Good comment, Nic.
Thanks
I heard from someone deep in the Russian diplomatic core that is NOT planning any major offensives this winter, other than the Donbass and wish to wait out Europe this Winter before proceeding with any large offensives.
Once Western aid to Ukraine stops, Ukraine will collapse, thus protecting Russian soldiers lives. Also the US November midterms is a major flash point, will see if this will result in less funding as well as the European winter might do the same with funding Ukraine. In the meantime I expect Putin to add a few more Russian forces in for defensive purposes, but not many.
Aleppo took a long long time to resolve, Putin tends to be patient to a fault.
I’m just back from a Garth Brooks concert in Dublin, the man knows how to put on a show!!!!!!
Thanks for the reality check Dreizin Team! As a former l/cpl in the infantry I’m clearly a military expert on everything, that being said, I don’t think we’ll see tactical Nukes in the near term, it’s certainly not impossible, but imo improbable at the moment.
Can we right off either side in the conflict, not at all, my cash is still on the Russians however.
As for variant X, I think that could depend on your booooster level. I won’t go into the irish vaaks policy, but to not be a pariah and go into public places indoors, you just needed the first vaaks not the follow ups, I never went for mine, got covid instead, sick for 3 days quite ill but not the worst ive ever been then got over it, like normal flu, vast majority of people I know, didn’t get the follow up doses and most got covid with regular flu syyymptoms, a couple days quite I’ll then back in business. And the vast majority of people I know, have only got it once, apart from one of my kids, who had it twice, 2021 with no syyymptoms and Feb this year with regular flu syyymptoms, and my kids aren’t juiced as the age 12 and under didn’t have to
No, I’m afraid it largely depends on whether the vial was properly chilled at -70 C.
The most important comment in today’s report is “No, you fool, the number one issue is what’s been done with the vakseenz.” For anyone still on the fence, Dr. Eads provides more detail.

Thank you Jacob for reminding us that we are only at the beginning of the worst yet to come.
She’s prone to exaggeration and Greg feeds into that.
What is she exaggerating about? VAERS is under reporting vaccine injuries and deaths. The jabs don’t stop Covid (e.g., Biden, Fauci, Newsome, Trudeau etc. all double jabbed and double boosted still caught Covid). Multiple lawsuits already proceeding through the courts. Fauci emails document fraud, gain of function research, suppression of early treatment, and patents filed on corona virus vaccines in 2005. The NIH, FDA, NIAID, and CDC are all funded by big pharma via foundations to disguise the funding source. .
we’re all going to die
No kidding.
Putin must change course and let the professionals wage war. This incremental, grinding program has reached its limit ,I would argue. For Russia’s sake doe Ukraine’s sake, Russia should call out a general mobilization and finish this thing.

I dont see the need to badmouth other commentators.
Folding up at this scale only possible with inside help. The trouble for Russia is that Kharkiv model can be applied to Donbass too. Also they will have serious morale issues including of countries supporting it. Waiting for mid terms is fine if they could hold lines. I don’t see any special reaction coming from Russia for this. They have no- extra capability with current resources. Escalation seems only way forward though I haven’t seen iota of reaction. I am not even sure if collapse has stopped yet. I
Correct. The truth is that Putin is really weak leader în times of war, restrain, and this could lead to nuclear war because weakness gives incentives to the West to escalate. Putin must be removed from Power, and a Strongman to take over and make the necessary acts.
For a second (or maybe a couple of seconds) I was like “Shit, could it be possible that Dreizin has got his “Ritter-moment”?!” (Don’t throw stones at me Mr. Dreizin).
But no, the man was absolutely right. That is the difference between a man who knows what he is talking about and a military amateur.
Btw, I never assumed the Russians to be that omnipotent destroyer, and it was only a matter of time to “auf die Schnauze fallen”, as German speakers say. Just didn’t think that the consequences of this breakthrough are that serious, but they are.
I wonder when the Russians will stop to play this political game and take more responsibility. I guess they are capable of upping the ante, and that is absolutely needed, the western block is only about escalation as long as they can print the shittin’-paper they call money.
Thanks for the analysis Mr. Dreizin.
Dear Jacob,
situation on battlefield seems bad for Russia. I’m concerned about escalation, because I live in Europe and nuclear cloud is not my favourite solution… I don’t know, why Russians couldn’t send 500 000 or 750 000 men to roll over Ukraine. Russian economy has probably severe limits and it’s politically not easy wage all out war against state, where You millions of relatives on both sides.
I know, there would be big process against Pfizer this autumn in USA (Robert Barnes talked about it week ago). I believed in medicine on the wrong assumption, that Israel wouldn’t threatened their own population, Israel has killer ratio of medicine used… I was wrong, I have underestimated scale of global corruption. So I had 2 American Pfizer gifts in my body. Only months later I knew, that was deadly wrong decision. What are the chances for surviving, and not having ruined health for life? I know that most affected group would be people in their thirties, that’s my. So If I stop commenting during next few months, You know why… I read some medical studies, that immunity can stop reacting for new variants. There are scenarios like, You would be crippled for life, or dead, in some % of cases human body should renew immunity.
But I’m taking it easy, what can I do, no miracles can happen in our world… I don’t know what can kill me first, economy is crashing down in Czech Republic, we are unofficial 17th Bundesland of Germany and Austria combined. Our economy is backayard of these countries, they are crashing, so now we. I don’t know how long will metal industry (where I am in trade company) can go on. EU is incompetent, our government are idiots. We have two nuclear powerplants and price of eletricity is like several thousands % contra to production costs. And we are paying these prices to Czech state company ČEZ or domestic fraudlent distribution companies. Energy regulation burea is doing nothing to protect us! Even during normal year, our agriculture doesn’t have spades for animals, I wonder if we would have some livestock this year or next. Nobody is doing anything to prevent disaster like low food supply, fertilizers. Ok, Russia would never trade again with Europe, gas is a memory now, but EU can produce eletricity in massive numbers, not just our country. Germany has nuclear powerplants, Austria has conserved nuclear powerplant in Tulln. All You need to do is to cancel idiotic EU system of energy production for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU_Allowance
Whilst honestly not knowing all the waves of damage that will come from the, er, javelin, I think your best bet is to support your health with lots of high dose nutrients, avoid carbs as much as possible, and take a good look at the protocols of FLCCC and World Council for Health. I wish you well.
@Pavel Like you, I got jabbed before I knew the potential ramifications (JJ for me, thankfully not the worst). While there are reasons for concern, there are also things that you can do. Take a look at https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-recover-post-vaccine-treatment for recommendations on how to counteract vakseen effects. And be hopeful, distress/negative energy is not good for your health. It does look like the bad effects diminish over time. Keep your Vitamin D3 levels up, take Vitamins B12 & C, and keep some zinc and {f}iver{d}ectin on hand if you can get them for when/if you start to feel sick and you should be able to pull through. And, fwiw, I actually think garlic and onions are pretty good natural immune system boosters, too. Don’t give up.
Thank you very much for the tips. I have some vitamins now home (yesterday expedition into apothecary). I read some studies, medical advices, how to boost an immunity, fishes were recommended as part of the diet. Will see who’s gonna prevail in next pandemy. I hope that effects of last summer shots will be gone… It’s quite horrible if the predictions became true, cause my country has so few young or younger people, if kids gonna be hit, people in 30’s. Who could survive? Chronically ill, no, older above 60, no, so except animal pets, some part of 10-29 year old classes it’s hard to tell who stays for handling the shovels… in Jacob’s words.
Hi Jacob, a new notes. firstly on my african island (where i live as an expat), the Chinese See-Nose-Farmer was taken by everyone i work with except for me, everyone at my work also got Delta about a year before i returned so i was the only person Un Vked and never had nothing, but we all got the December strain omi 1 and we where all lightly sick the same way (5 days of light enough symptoms to continue going 2 work, and 2 days fever, in the whole island 2 people died from a nation of over half a million, and almosteveryone failed to realize it was even the same dreaded C.. except those i told to go get tested… so in conclusion, the first Chinese one seemed to do very little vs the new strain, and didnt seem to do any harm, noting its just attenuated V as opposed to that rD.. insanity.
Second, i really say this to you as a friend, please go find an online Aspergers test, im more sure of it every day, im telling you on a basis of takes one to know one so its not an insult… Your analysis is too good for a Neurotypical, and common among certain ethnicity…knowing will help you figure a lot out if im correct, just recognise its a spectrum and there is no disability/disorder in the start of the spectrum, if anything its a gift that helps you see through the propaganda and analyse in a far more logical manner…
…hey jacob…you totally called it yesterday…wonder if you are surprised it happened so soon after your prediciton…: “Likewise, sending tens of cruise missiles to knock out electricity across the Ukraine—perhaps in the dead of winter—is another backstop. A modern army can only fight for so long with no juice.”
Lol thanks. I didn’t expect it today. Was thinking perhaps a few weeks.
Hey Jacob why did you think it would take a week for Russia to attack Ukraine electric infrastructure?
Was that just a wild guess or was there reasoning behind it?
Hi, I sent you an e-mail, do not know if you get so many to not be able to read them all.
Hey Dreizin, kudos to you for calling this for what it is. A rout.
Larry J and Andrei are still in deep denial.
Thanks, those guys are fukking clowns. Larry “Baghdad Bob” Johnson supposedly came up in the CIA. LOL. Doesn’t say much for the CIA.
wow, f’g clowns ? For sure these are guys with legitimate experience/background in military/intelligence affairs. Sure, you may disagree or indeed they could be wrong, but to refer to them as clowns is wrong.
We have no idea what Martyanov did with his life in Russia, beyond what he claims, which is 100% unverifiable. In any case, there are plenty of clowns with “legit experience.” Ever heard of Fauci?
Larry Johnson happens to be family friends of the laptop guy?!?? Things that make you go hmmmm. I had an uneasy feeling listening to that episode that people I had some trust in are not what they seem. It felt wrong on multiple levels.
Don’t think too hard about it. Larry’s been retired (from govt service, anyway) for over 20 years, and has been “radioactive” to that crowd for almost as long (due to his TV appearances against the various wars), yet he claims to still have meaningful contacts and connections everywhere. He’s bogus.
Surely, he did not know the laptop guy BEFORE the laptop blew up.
Congratulations Jacob.You wrote that Russians are going to attack Ukr. electric grid. And that happened. So you predicted that.
I also think, Ukraine is going to amass a huge army. And tactical nuclear weapons shall be the only possible defense. I think the west is going to use that as an excuse for their involvement.
Well, raw as usual and take no prisoners lol, thanks for your critical analysis much appreciated.
The following is a message I sent to an acquaintance of mine in London. He’s actually not a bad fellow. He just doesn’t understand the war happening in Ukraine, so I tried to explain it to him in terms that he would understand.
—
Imagine if the borders of Scotland encompassed the north of England, a territory that Scotland did have certain historical claims to. Then imagine if the United Kingdom broke up and a large population of Englishmen ended up as citizens of an independent Scotland. Now imagine a really nationalistic Scottish government coming to power, one that epitomized all the insecurities and complexes that the worst of Scots ever harboured towards the English. Then imagine this new Scottish government banning English and starting to mistreat the Englishmen who accidentally happened to become Scottish citizens. Now imagine an English government carrying out a military action to take back what was formerly the north of England. Now imagine Russia decides to get involved in this conflict in what used to be the UK, not because it loves Scotland, but because it hates England. Russia starts to arm Scotland and complains to everyone willing to listen about how England is endangering the world order by threatening the inviolability of Scotland’s internationally recognized borders. Russia gets a coalition of countries together, including China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea, and they try to impose sanctions on England, not because any of these countries care about Scotland, but because they just hate England so much. The Scots in this scenario aren’t fools, they know they’re being used by the Russians, but they have such an inferiority complex towards the English, that they don’t mind Scotland being destroyed, so long as they can role play as Robert the Bruce and cause harm to the English. Well, that’s basically the Ukrainian war in a nutshell, if it was happening somewhere else.
Good write-up. I’ve but one comment: “Frrreeeeeedddooommmm!!!!!!”
Well looks like you called it regarding Russia taking out Ukraine’s power grid. That’s why I always click the email right there!
I wonder if this is just a small escalation or if this is a sign that Putin and co are finally taking the situation seriously and that we’re going to start seeing a lot more coming down the pipe. I also wonder if they expected so many US/NATO PMCs to take such a prominent role in combat operations. You’d think that alone would be a wake-up call.
In the past few months I’ve developed a sneaking suspicion that Putin is intentionally drawing all this out so that he can eventually bring Europe to its knees economically and politically. Germany etc. are facing full economic collapse and its hard to imagine that their political situation remains stable long term. Why stop them from committing suicide? I also have a hard time seeing countries like Bulgaria allowing their elites hold on to their EU/NATO badges while the whole situation collapses around them. This may sounds insane, but perhaps what’s been staying Russia’s hand is the idea that if they just curb-stomp the Ukraine then maybe Europe wakes up, loses interest in Uncle Sam’s games, and this opportunity goes away.
Then again, the high rates of vakssinnashon in western euroland might just doom them anyway. If it’s as bad there as I’m noticing it here, then they’re screwed anyway.
Side note, the last several posts have been so good it’s got a lot of people in my social circle tuned in to your blog. Keep it up man!
Dreizin Report called it first. Kharkov is dark tonight.
Have to tip my hat to you sir, you called it correctly just as I saw the news this morning from Asia:
“Likewise, sending tens of cruise missiles to knock out electricity across the Ukraine—perhaps in the dead of winter—is another backstop. A modern army can only fight for so long with no juice.”
However, I could not disagree more with your statement:
“hundreds of millions of vakksinayted worldwide will get quite ill, and many millions will die.”
Time will tell but we have reached the endemic stage and there will not be a more deadly strain coming in the future, You’re wrong on this one sorry.
Thanks for commenting. I’m not even sure what “endemic stage” means. People seem to throw that around like it means “not a big deal anymore.” It’s mindless, they heard it on TV, repeat it and don’t think about what they’re saying. I guess the flu is endemic?
Humans have had some natural immyoonitee to the flu (now likely on a genetic level) for at least 100 years. Every 5 or 7 years, there is a flu strain that kills 2, 3, or 5X as many people as “usual.” The korona is obviously myootating much faster than the human flu, we seem to have a new strain out every 2 months or so.
Obviously we’re going to have a deadlier korona strain sooner or later, AND, the vakksed-and-boosstted have clearly bucked up their immyoonitee to the korona (and perhaps not only korona), something that has NEVER before happened in the history of “vakseenz.” It’s gotten so silly that the media long ago stopped reporting the “percentage of unvakksed among all korona-inpatients or serious cases” in whatever state or hospital system (remember that?)
Given all that, logically it’s hard to see ANY OTHER outcome but a very high body-count panndemmyk of the vakksynayted, within the near-enough future. It’s just logic and common sense.
I’m not even getting into science talk about the vakseenz stimulating the myootations and the degree of infectiousness. I’ll leave that for experts like Mallone and Van den Bosche. I don’t know the science, I just see the obvious patterns and connect the dots.
In case it no one else as suggested it, this is one of the better military analysis that I’ve seen. It came from one of the guys on the duran but you may have missed.

Holy moly. WTF.
The GOP is not standing down this year because they see some sort of ultra mega shitstorm related to the wack-scene coming that will wreck whoever wins the 2022 midterms. The GOP leaders are nowhere close to being that smart or sophisticated. What’s going on is there’s fissures within the party on several issues – usually between the weakened establishment that still controls much of the party and the populists but not always. Fundamentally the establishment prioritizes retaining and regaining control over the GOP itself instead of crushing the Democrats in what should be a cakewalk campaign for the midterms. The populists want more nationalism and the establishment is completely hooked on globalism (especially that sweet sweet globalist cash). The populists want the election process completely cleaned up; the establishment will only countenance some cosmetic changes that won’t disturb any modus vivendi they’ve reached with Democrats in various states and counties. Many (maybe even most) of the populists want no more support for Ukraine because they want that cesspool of corruption and money laundering taken away from DC elites; the establishment GOP wants more MIC contracts and maybe if Russia would just collapse again and stay down more NATO vassal states. The populists want woke completely purged, the establishment still tries to accomodate it. The populists are very skeptical of the vakk-seeen and bitterly opposed to mandates, too much of the establishment rolled over like little bitches on that last year because they wanted corporate offices reopened in time for the 2021 Xmas parties. The populists want the administrative state’s wings clipped (right off) and its worst bureaucrats sentenced to prison, the establishment still thinks they can maybe use it toward their ends. Etc, etc, etc…
On the Kharkov mess – it is not looking good for the Russians now but how will it look in a week or two? If the Ukrainians start getting quiet about their big Kharkov win by the end of the week we’ll know the Russians aren’t the ones with a serious problem.
I‘ve read this comment on The Saker. Do you think there is any truth to it?:
„Real third ukrop counter offensive (real one), would happen as of next week-end, targets: Donetsk and destroying Mariupol new buildings + control of highway, to send a message to locals: Russia will never save you. 10k fake nato + 25-30k real ukrops as canon fodder in first line sacrified. It was the goal of this night missiles attack, to slow down logistic and provide more time for RU reserve to deploy fully. Also rumors from dgse insider, nato troops (fake peace keepers), deployed in Moldova: target taking humanitarian control of Odessa (no date yet).UK troops (Truss talked about that in July)also present“
Time will tell. When it does, I hope to see your honest admission that you were totally out to lunch with this post. I may have missed it because I just skimmed the article but can’t help wondering if you considered the fact that thousands of Ukrop troops have died in the past several days and very few Russians have done so. True to form, the Russians couldn’t care less about the information war. They stated in the very beginning that one of their goals was the “demilitarization” of Ukraine. I can’t think of a better way to accomplish that goal than to draw them out of their bunkers and chop them into literal cannonfodder by withdrawing from a few inconsequential villages and towns that evacuated their Russian-speaking population months ago. Nothing has changed in the past weeks other than the death toll of the AFU.
P.S.- I agree with you about Creepy Joe but you look silly in the hat.
The “thousands of Ukrainians killed in a few days” schtick, is Baghdad Bob propaganda from Russia’s Ministry of Defense. Anyone (such as yourself) who believes that crap, has a critical thinking deficit.
Looks like Putin is a very proud man, unfortunately this the down fall of any leader.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
The Russian people will suffer greatly under the hands of the enemy.
May peace agreement be found between Russia and Ukraine.
Interesting – I wonder if they read you first?
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/could-russias-sudden-ukraine-retreat-mean-tactical-nuclear-weapons-strike-coming
From what I can see theirs a degree of certainty that the Ukr’s took heavy losses in Kherson. Its possible they have taken heavy losses in Kharkiv. Regardless they have 100% scored a major political victory. Ethnic Russians in Ukr will now also be much more wary of supporting the Russian operation….
But now what happens if / when the Russians mobilize and declare war???? surely that will change the battlefield calculus massively in Russian favor???
They have targeted Ukr infrastructure and I suspect this will have a large effect on Ukr logistics and operations…..
I dont understand why Russia never did this from the outset, I can understand they are likely fightng the hearts and minds battle – but it could be argued they should have done this much earlier…as well as mobilise…..
China also did not use the emaresa vaksseen. Perhaps it’s more proof (besides the climate/fossil fuel hoax) that the West is being taken down by the cabal.
Question Jacob if I may? I like your style as you take the different elements and piece them together. In this case its forces of disaster. Pretty much got the 4 fucking horsemen galloping our way. My question is what do you think will produce Variant X? Do you suspect its already cultured in a lab or are more of the G Vanden Bossche thought process in that M Nature will do her worst? Probably doesn’t’ matter in the end, but yeah, that’s what I think is going to be the real vax kill off. All these other deaths to date are collateral damage. I have to think these shots are linked to some sort of kill switch for when Schwab’s “Angry World” materializes. Again, I assume it will come in the flavor of ADE/OAS/etc.
I think Variant X will produce itself. Just like the seasonal flu. Keep reading, more coming soon. Thanks.
Russia will NOT deploy tactical nukes at this stage of the conflict (though that could come later). However it is highly likely that Russia will be forced to significantly escalate. For Putin and the Russian leadership this conflict (pushed by NATO and Ukraine) is about the future of Russia as its current entity. There is no compromise on the horizon and one has to wonder why Russia would treat this conflict in the beginning as a “special operation” since it was very likely it would end up as a war. It’s been very clear for some time that NATO is supplying not only weapons but logistical and operational support, and significant numbers of special ops forces in Ukraine. NATO has gone “all in” and western politicians plan to remove Russia as an independent power (leaving only China on the board). One might ask what American leadership would do if a loss to an opponent in a war made it possible to turn the U.S. from one big country to 4 or 5 smaller U.S. nations that became subservient to that foreign power. What would happen to the personal fortunes of that American leadership?
There will be no win for ordinary people, just death, destruction, impoverishment, or the emotional “my team won/lost moment. There is always a big win for the big players that prevail in this game. More power and a great deal of money (unless things go horribly wrong). The game never changes only the players change.
First Koron@ reports warnings in UA on the headlines, cant be anything but way-out prep in case things go south war-wise. I think RU adapted well militarily despite the perceived political blow. Their MOD started playing its high cards morphing its SMO ( into some other invented operational name probably) by commencing strikes on the whole power grid . UA is bogged down now. No more mobility to strike here and there as their whole rail network is electricity powered. RU shrinker its defensive perimeter on purpose and will now start playing wack a mole as their logistic will allow them in turn to maneuver offensively as they wish b/w Mykolaiv offensive and Donbas front. UA might attempt convoys and sh*t as alternatives but last time I check fuel also comes by trains and an average T-90 or older tanks burn 1200-1600 liters per 500 km. If I was UA military I would revert back to defensive mode again and run from the ‘re-liberated’ territory as quickly as possible. Even if they had a millions troops , as soon as KIA and wounded reach the first quarter millions ( which at current pace of this offensive will be before the Koron@ ) people would rather start resisting mobilization .
Or perhaps the UA guy with high heels & uncle Sam will just try and pour all the remaining Kharkiv reserves into the closest RU fortified area as these troops there won’t be able to go down and attack Donbas now as originally planned.
There are a lot of Monday morning QBs here. Yet I think because Russia suffered a setback does not mean Russia will be sacked next. It’s almost humorous Zelensky calling foul since half of Ukraine has no electric grid. I also note Putin sacked a general for not acting and allowing this counter offense. I believe the gloves are off now and maybe a MSO will go to declared war after all the Russians aren’t fighting the Ukraine but rather NATO. The question I have is how far everyone will go.
NATO is pushing to see how far they can go. Russia has moved slow and by not hitting command control centers has my curiosity. I think Putin knows this can escalate rapidly and I think NATO believes this war will stay in the Ukraine.
I don’t see the need for a nuke now if the Ukraines can’t move their troops they are sitting ducks plus winter is creeping in. The only thing now is how to send a message to NATO to say back off or else. If NATO retaliated well I guess we won’t need to worry about variant X.
Russia was constrained from hitting administrative centres by dint of the definition of the “special operation”.
There was talk/chatter in early August that the Russian Duma was getting ready to declare Ukraine as a state sponsor of terror, which would have then ‘permitted’ Russia to specifically target the administrative and political-leadership structure (e.g., government buildings in Keeeeeeeev).
Obviously I have no special insight as to why that hasn’t happened; it seemed obvious to me that the Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk with anti-personnel cluster munitions, and its continued shelling of the ZNPP in Energodar, would have passed muster as a legal basis.
The next week or so will be very unpleasant for Ukrainian troops – the Russians now know that they can disrupt the ability of Ukraine to transfer resources from Kharkiv towards Kherson, by simply blowing up another power plant or five.
For Ukraine, shifting materiel across the country requires crossing three or 4 rivers – for the Russians it requires crossing zero rivers.
Transferring materiel by truck convoy would require stupendous amounts of fuel. Transferring by train is problematic if the power’s off. And importantly… if the Ukrainians DO manage to shift stuff, they then have to get fuel to the new location.
No trains means no fuel. Armour and MLRS use a lot of fuel.
[Z]elenskiy[yyyyy] needs to really hope that Russia has not quietly redefined the SMO as some other type of operation in which Russia is no longer forced to ‘play nice’.
Ukraine’s got a LOT of its good kit and trained personnel stranded near Kharkiv. I would not be remotely surprised if the RF decides to push towards Mykolaiv (or even Odessa) while the Ukrainian command structure tries to work out how to get the power back on.
Might be useful to note (since it’s a couple of days since the OP) that they seem to be having intermittent electricity problems in Western Ukraine because naval-launched missiles keep slamming into power plants.
For the moment it seems that the Russians have only half-taken this step – rather than resorting to US-style “smash all power generation and distribution; water treatment and distribution; and sewage-treatment in the first 100 sorties” – which has the deliberate aim of creating conditions for water-borne disease (in other words it specifically targets infants and the aged and infirm – classy).
It seems that the Russian disabling of Ukraine’s electricity generation capacity was more about ‘freezing’ the train system, thereby making it harder for the VSU to transfer heavy equipment around.
As I understand it, there was a large train that was immobilised that became somewhat ‘disorganised’ as a result of strafing – it wasn’t a US “Highway of Death”-style turkey-shoot by any stretch, but it wasn’t pretty.
This makes me think of of Sun Tzu: “Where you are strong, feign weakness; where you are weak, feign strength.”
Perhaps the russians were secretly expecting the counter-offensive. Perhaps they want a long drawn out conflict where Europe suffer for energy. The Russians should be perfectly happy with the Ukrainians fighting ability and the West’s ability to support them being exhausted.
So far there has been no comment on this, but what kind of terrain have the Ukrainians retaken? Are these areas that are easy or tough for the Ukrainians to defend if the Russians advance again into the same areas?
What we all, not just warring Russians and Ukrainians, may need to brutally endure in order to survive the very-long-term from ourselves is an even greater, non-humanoid nemesis than our own politics and perceptions of differences — especially those involving skin-color and creed — against which we could all unite, defend, attack and defeat, then greatly celebrate. … Maybe a humanicidal, multi-tentacled extraterrestrial invader, like that from the 1996 blockbuster movie Independence Day?
During this much-needed human allegiance, we’d be forced to work closely side-by-side together and witness just how humanly similar we are to each other. (Although, I’ve been informed that one or more human parties might actually attempt to forge an allegiance with the ETs to better their own chances for survival, thus indicating that our wanting human condition may be even worse than I had originally thought.)
Still, maybe some five or more decades later when all traces of the nightmarish ET invasion are gone, we will inevitably revert to those same politics to which we humans seem so collectively hopelessly prone — including those of scale: the intercontinental, international, national, provincial or state, regional and municipal, and etcetera, etcetera.
There is no hope for us humans. We are what we are, strange and violent creatures.
Off topic comment: I wonder that if some of the UFO’s are real that the ET’s are taking advantage of a once in a million year opportunity to watch, first hand, a species that is good but at the same time is easily manipulated by greedy and arrogant people and thus destroying itself. Or maybe the ET’s are like those brains in “The Gamesters of Triskelion”.
I found this at MoA and I think it fits perfectly into current Russia SMO.
Russia doesn’t do InfoWar because you have to control the Media to be successful. It’s not an open, competitive marketplace. All print and broadcast and broadband Media and Social Media are totally controlled by the West.
It’s useless to try to operate on their controlled turf.
Russia needs to do one thing to counter the propaganda, psy-ops war. She needs to win and achieve her strategic objectives.
In fact, when this is won, Russia will be re-establishing the historical truths about WWII which have been stolen from the history books, especially in recent years. Most people in the West don’t know which armed forces defeated the Nazis. And they don’t know that the Japanese didn’t surrender even after two atomic bombs were dropped on them.
But first things first. Ukraine, NATO, the Hegemon have to be taken care of.
Jacob, How sure are you about the Russian losses and the amount of hardware captured? There are claims that there are no reliable images of what was captured by Ukraine, but i don’t trust those claims either.
After everything, Scott Ritter got a lot of flak when he talked about strategic depth and game changers, he never said the Ukrainian’s would win, and even now, he expects Russia to win, but his concerns where accurate. The fact that Ukraine didn’t Run out of fuel, didn’t struggle to get its weapons across to the front seemed like a bad sign for some time. I think Russia is extremely motivated and needs to win, but i don’t think they will need to go too extreme, what is important is that the do focus on destroying Ukrainian infrastructure before winter, in which case Ukraine without both Gas and electricity will crumble as general survival will be a challenge, for a true war of attrition, the Russians could even allow the forests to burn as a strategy to eliminate access to fire wood. The implications of loosing more land is 2 fold, firstly it will destroy confidence in the Ukrainian areas which are under Russian control since the Ukrainian extreme right always end up taking vicious revenge, and secondly loosing is a threat to the survival of the Russian state as no deal can be made which allows the very dangerous Ukrainian state to remain a threat for NATOs sake. In the end, i expect Winter of attrition should be the turning point, but i see the risk of a soft hearted Putin giving away that advantage buy allowing food and supplies to continue to enter Ukraine thus resulting in a far longer war, and far more casualties than should be necessary. If Ukraine does not surrender this winter, then it should be seen as a huge blunder on Russia’s behalf. Its time for Russia to stop fighting with one hand tied behind its back, and i suspect that as Russian anger and Russian determination increases, they will eventually do what is necessary to win.
Thanks — worth careful reading:

Russia’s Underperforming Military (and Our Own) – Andrew Bacevich (9-15-22)
Did you have a falling out with the Duran team? I first discovered your blog on their show, but your comments seem harsher than just normal disagreement. I agree that they are long winded for monitization purposes.
Hello. I have not criticized the Duran guys at all. I’ve said they are what they are, that’s all. It’s not criticism. They’re doing a great job of raising big ad bucks off of the Ukraine war, and not covering anything “non-kosher” that would close off the money pipe. (Even with the Hunter Biden laptop, they didn’t touch it until long after it was already “approved” for discussion.)
Based on my own experience with YouTube and other platforms, and looking at their metrics, I know they are now grossing $40,000/month or possibly $50,000/month online, and it would all be at risk (or they’d have to shift to a 100% donations model) if they hit any “unapproved” topics.
In that sense, they’re basically part of the MSM, only with a different take on “Russia vs. the democracies.” Anyone who doesn’t see this, is a really dim bulb.
But for what they do, it’s pretty good, if you have 45-60 minutes a day to spare. They are obviously both quite charming, and it’s entertaining to hear Mercouris talk so dismissively about UK politics.
As for people coming to me from the Duran, that’s basically over, because the Alexes have zero further interest in me except for my war coverage, and I don’t want their typical single-track followers anymore. If that’s not you, great, but there were too many, and I was very glad to lose most of those idiots.
The “American” Alex was as harsh as one can be against injection mandates without being demonetized -in fact it cost him some kind of YT suspension eventually. I don’t know whether UK Alex is really afraid of talking or simply has a more mainstream view in that respect (i.e. mandates bad, injections good). Anyway, they did interview some time ago the famous Texan cardiologist that has been very critical about it -I don’t remember his name, Macsomething. The video is on The Duran but I don’t think they uploaded to YT. Other collaborators of the Duran have discussed the topic openly too. It is true that many of their followers are not interested or dismissive of the topic. I used to frequent the Telegram channel of the American Alex and I remember one woman linking one of your videos once, one in which you talk about the Pandemonium of the Vagginated. There were some comments criticising her and saying things like ‘this discussion is about the war, go somewhere else to talk about that…’
That follows the same pattern of others I have listened to. Notably Scott Adams. I only watch him maybe once a month anymore. My Duran viewing is dropping. I need to be more judicious in my time and stick to non-monitized creators Z
As many people know “the Duran Gang” opened up Telegram channels some time ego. I used to watch Alex from Athens podcasts partially/mostly because he shows streets of Athens in his videos.
My “romans” with his podcasts ended abruptly about a week ago when he added me up to his Telegram channel and sent unsolicited offers about bitcoin trading and then some religious stuff. When I asked him for a short voice conversation – he refused.
I’m convinced that for the guy publishing the videos is just a profitable business. However if someone likes his “clown show” – that’s OK with me…
Are you serious? That’s a scam and nothing to do with Alex. It happens to lots of content creators. Welcome to the internet!
@Wernyhora
That was just a scammer pretending to be Alex. It’s common for big creators on Youtube and Telegram to get impersonated. I’ve had it happen for numerous content creators.
Maaan, Jacob, why all the anger towards people who listen to the Duran, you make it sound like most listeners are too stupid to be able to understand different views on what’s going on! As you well know it is impossible for ANYONE to be able to fully describe the events happening on the ground unless you are on the ground in real time. Don’t hate on us, because I feel well informed when I listen to your researched opinions. I, as most of us, have an open mind (I hope) regarding the state of affairs around the political world, because of all the deception we are fighting. Take care I still think your cool. 👍🌸
Got no email notification for this one.
On topic, I believe one of the mistakes Russians did was miscalculating the speed of advance the Nato managed to pull off. It was a blitz move and Nato won this battle fair and square. I bet the Russians thought they could dig in hold until the Airforce arrives just like they did down in Kherson.
Deaths are rising…everywhere

Anybody heard from Jacob? These days I freak when any truth-speaker doesn’t post for awhile. And he works in the heart of the beast, in DC.
Never mind, I see his posts in the comments.
Shit bro, you get the Variant X?!?
Not yet. The flu!
drink plenty of fluids, any comment on Vlad’s new plan
I have never seen so many people sick with the flu in my life. *seriously
Don’t know what it is but I do know the people who are sick are testing negative for CV19 and both vaccinated and unvaxxed equally infected and “appear” equally sick.
Get better soon
Come on man, you were wrong, makes no sense hiding under the bed. Take it like a man. I miss your glorious speech (I dont care if its wrong).
There I just sub’ed to your mailing list, happy now Mr. Dreizin? Damn people who say nagging works are right! 😉. But damn, hundreds of dollars for a mailing list functionality! Mad respect for your commitment man!
Things will get more interesting in a week when these referendums are held. Understanding that the Donbas is highly ethnic Russian and persecution is high, what are the odds of an honest vote? On either side of this, the other side will claim there was fraud and intimidation. If Russia has a military presence at the vote in order to make people feel safe, then the west will say the vote is not legit. This will be a bigger trian wreck than it already. We could all just stop threatening nukes and negotiate, but that’s less profitable for the elites.
Something is looming considering ByDen claims the pand*mik is over but he still extended the his emergency powers. A week later Putin announces new objectives? Fishy coincidence. I have a sinking feeling that both issues will somehow morph into one by way of your analysis that this will go scorch earth.
I just hope the US still holds elections even if it’s questionable that they are legit themselves.
What a trans continental trainwreck.
At least you are în US of fucking A. I am în România, 400km from de front, we are boyond fucked, you are just at your waist în shit. So feel happy and enjoy the circus.
You are not beyond fucked. Russians don’t want your land. If you play it smart you can even get some territorial extension. You just need to take some lessons from Hungary.
The odds are close to 100% and the people there will vote for being a part of Russia because it’s the only way to be protected from indiscriminate shelling from ukraine troops (see reports on usce dot org the ukies were shelling civilians there for ages, google “Alley of Angels” in Donetsk).
Pro-Ukraine people already left these regions, Pro-Russian people stayed, they are there and they do side with the russian army, it’s the soldiers of LPR/DPR + Wagners who do the heavy lifting. It’s been like that since 2014-2015. Those who do not want to be a part of it left LPR/DPR/Kherson, I personally know few people that left DNR like a month or two ago for Far East of Russia.
Jacob it s been 2 weeks. The fuck man?
He’s been down with the flu.
All,
Take it easy. Check out this amazing interview.

Way to go Jacob lol.
I’ve been wondering about the Republicans too. Then I thought of a couple of things.
Mitch’s wife was a busy gal during the Trump presidency and sure came into a lot of money via a very large Asian country. With the DOJ and all the other deep staters going hard into the paint on ‘enemies of the state’, it might be best to keep your head down for a while til things cool down and you know the score. And with the Afghan pullout putting the chill on new backyard pools in Virginia, our intrepid contractors are happy for the opportunity to sell their wares to new markets in say, eastern europe. What self respecting Republican is going to pour water on their good friends at Raytheon?
Great interview with Kunstler Jacob!!!

Where is that nice, young Mr Jacob? Covid is raising its head again, the Russians may now be contemplating war with the west and our favourite doomsayer is silent…… hello?!?!?!
Been away and came back with both of us having Covid. I just read this.
You wrote – “If/when Putin decides to finally stop playing Uncle Sam’s “incremental escalation” game, that’s when this will be on the way to being over.”
Looks like he has, so let’s see if you are right. With benefit of more hindsight than you had on 10th Sept, I think this was an elaborate game of bluff to get the Ukies and above all the NATO “mercenaries” out form behind cover and it worked. How many of them are going to make it home? It had a price that had to be paid as every thing the Russians/allies do is totally visible to NATO satellites – bad home PR over abandoned civilians and big apparent PR win for Kiev and NATO in time for the Ramstein party. But the abandoned civilians problem has been largely neutralised by the unexpected referendums and immediate annexations and now Putin has credibility when he says he is fighting NATO.
Re. The vy-rus. Couldn’t get i the mectin but read a paper about washing your nose twice a day with salt and water or diluted hydrogen peroxide greatly reducing mortality. Naturally my doctor had never heard of that but he couldn’t stop me doing it. Actually I used alcohol hand cleaner and my wife thought I was crazy. However it turns out that my symptoms were a lot milder than hers. Coincidence perhaps but worth doing bearing in mind the medical study showing it works and it does no harm. Big bonus – even Dr FowChee and his pharma mafia can’t think of a way of stopping patients using this method but I bet they’ll try. The trial showed an eight fold reduction in mortality, i think.
Martyanov is basically like:
“Unless you are a published theoretical physicist and have earned a Master of Science and two PhDs, have an IQ of 187, and went to college at 11, research String Theory at Caltech, switched disciplines from bosonic string theory to heterotic string theory and reconciled the black hole information paradox using a string network condensate approach, worked on the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations and considered a method for optimizing a 500 GeV particle detector to this end, jointly wrote a paper on supersolids to be presented at an Institute of Experimental Physics topical conference on Bose-Einstein condensates, keep a whiteboard in the living room for scientific theories containing virtual particles in quantum mechanics or series of Riemann zeta functions, then no I will not take your opinion seriously.”
