(This doesn’t get old, LOL.) Perhaps needless to say, the Zelensky government and its propaganda outlets are mum, mum, mum on what’s going on, at the southern front, or on any front. As I told you, there will be NO ADMISSION / ANNOUNCEMENT of any “Big Counteroffensive” from these bull-shytters UNTIL/UNLESS they have some RESULTS. Even as the hospitals have already filled up. Of course, a few soldiers speaking privately with the Bezos (Washington) Post, does not constitute an “announcement.”
(For once, the headline image, above, has absolutely no relation to the title. You’ll understand the title, soon. As for the image, it was published within the last few days, and shows the Z-Man (a.k.a. “green T-shirt guy”) with his Russian-born-and-raised commander of ground forces, Syrskii, and several other poo-bah’s. Who DON’T you see? That’s right, the armed forces chief of staff, Zaluzhny, the Ukro-Napoleon reincarnation of George Patton, who is still recovering from a severe concussion or some other kind of head injury, possibly among other injuries, suffered over a month ago. Taking the Ukro-propaganda machine’s cues, the U.S. and European MSM’s STILL maintain a TOTAL NEWS BLACKOUT on his “leave of absence”, even though he was a media darling, to the extent of being featured on the cover of Time Magazine. Now, they don’t care where he is, or if he’s even alive, LOL. I’m starting to think, perhaps he never existed at all??? Seems a little, hmmm… Stalinist?)
Folks, a LOT of new news, in fact, another overdose of wartastic content for my bloodthirsty lunatics.
(I also have something to say about the Trump indictment, at bottom.)
First, some background, in the context of another Dreizin VICTORY LAP:
Of ALL English-language sources/commentators in any medium, anywhere in the world, I was the FIRST who called attention, in an audio recorded just after noon (U.S. ET) on Thursday, June 8th, to the fact that the Ukraine’s elite 47th Brigade was leading The Big Counteroffensive (“Zaporozhie edition”, not to be confused with major, repeated, failed attacks by other units around Vremievka and Novodonetskoe, west Donetsk) southwest of Orekhovo.
Moreover, that it was this Brigade which has (or had, haha) the highest concentration of U.S./NATO gear of any brigade in the Ukrainian army, as well as the highest concentration of volunteers (as opposed to draftees), and what’s considered to be the sharpest leadership, and likely the most intensive training/attention from “the Pentagram” a.k.a. GLOBOHOMO Central.
ALSO, I was the FIRST English-language source/commentator, in any medium, anywhere in the world, to point out that if this brigade can’t do the job, THEN NO OTHER UKRAINIAN BRIGADE WILL. In this context, I explained to you the “spear tip” nature of breaking through a fortified, continuous, enemy line.
If you missed it, then, for background, please listen here:
(Audio file duration: 5:52)
The $200 Billion Dollar Question
I recorded the below, just after noon (U.S. ET.) on Friday.
Here’s a VERY brief summary:
It’s already clear that the entire U.S. “counteroffensive strategy” in the Ukraine has FAILED.
What does The Pentagram do now?
If you’d like more detail, please listen below.
(Audio file duration: 5:54)
(Please note, my “reliable minimum” estimate of Ukrainian casualties since the start of The Big Counteroffensive on Sunday morning—to include, losses from airstrikes nationwide—is current as of Friday just after noon, when I recorded this. Of course, it must be somewhat higher, now. (Sorry to again disappoint the “one billion Ukrainian dead” crowd.))
The Zaporozhie battle (among others) continues
(Plenty of videos, further below.)
Elements of Russia’s 22nd and 45th Spetznaz Brigades and the 70th, 71st, and 291st Motor Rifle Regiments, grouped under the 42nd Division, are still holding the Russian first line southwest of Orekhovo, Zaporozhie. All lost positions (within the first line of the first line) have been recovered.
As per video that many of you have seen, Thursday’s scrap metal count includes up to 4 German Leopard tanks decomissioned or abandoned (at least 2 full-on destroyed) and as many as 13 U.S. M2 Bradley fighting vehicles decomissioned or abandoned (at least 7 destroyed, or clearly damaged at a minimum.)
(At least one intact Leopard was hauled away by the Russian side, I’m sure their engineers will have fun studying it.)
Also, on Thursday and, possibly, into Friday morning (it’s not clear as to when one of the videos was taken), a substantial number of various U.S./NATO armored cars, as well as a few Soviet-era tanks, were damaged and abandoned—or simply abandoned—in the Vremievka-Novodonetskoe sector, west Donetsk.
Surprisingly, at least in the Zaporozhie fighting, Ukrainian drones (kamikazes or otherwise) are STILL almost totally out of the picture. Russian jamming has proven too strong, and, the threat of operators being discovered by Russian electronic monitoring (and blasted), too great.
According to multiple credible sources, Russian electronic warfare capabilities southwest of Orekhovo involve one or more new systems not fielded previously, which has/have taken the Ukrainian side by surprise.
There is also a credible report that Russian electronic warfare went so far as to severely disturb Ukrainian access to GPS data.
On Friday evening/night, prior to another all-night assault, the Ukraine launched a large number of unguided, Grad MLRS rockets at Russian forces southeast of Orekhov. UNLIKE on Wednesday, few, if any, HIMARS missiles were used.
We may assume this means they’ve shot their HIMARS wad, that is, they are flat out of HIMARS missiles (with a 70km or 80km range) within the ENTIRE south/southeast macro-sector, if not nationwide.
Clearly, the HIMARS bombardment against Russian positions southeast of Orekhov, on Wednesday, was supposed to be DECISIVE. It was NOT. Now, they are down to using “dumb” technology.
Ukrainian air defense strikes again
This time, in Odessa:
Poor fate of Ukrainian hardware – UPDATE

Below, “lively” views from Russian attack helicopters, presumably Zaporozhie.
Below, destroyed or abandoned Ukrainian equipment (mostly, various U.S./NATO armored cars) near Novodonetskoe, west Donetsk.)
Below, damaged or abandoned Ukrainian armored vehicles (including at least one tank), near Vremievka, west Donetsk.
Below, destruction of a German Leopard tank, Zaporozhie.
Below, destruction of a U.S. M2 Bradley, Zaporozhie. (Another video is available, of another Bradley being destroyed off to the side, in this same location, just after this one, but the video is so similar to this one, that I didn’t bother adding it.)
Below, destroyed Ukrainian armored vehicles near Bock-moot.
Below, two Ukrainian tanks near Bock-moot suffer perfect “hits”, within the first half of the video (with “instant replay” for both), to a wonderful soundtrack by System of a Down. (May be a “real time” version of material in the first Bock-moot video, above.)
Below, “quality hits” against Ukrainian artillery (more recent than my last such update), to include, against three U.S. M777 cannon positions, one German PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer, and one unknown unit.
Below, FPV kamikaze drones tearing up a small Ukrainian supply convoy. The first vehicle to be hit, is (per the subsequent video) obviously destroyed. The second one is damaged, at least. The fate of the last, an unarmored U.S. Humvee, unclear.
Below, a U.S. M2 Bradley hit by an FPV kamikaze drone, southeast of Orekhov. The static is due to attempted jamming in the area.

My take on the Trump indictment:
Sure, Trump is a GROTESQUE BUFFOON…..
But, the U.S. national political scene…..
…..now resembles, for example…..
…..that of Thailand.
If you are an active Republican in a “hard blue” area…..
MOVE, or, GET OUT of organized politics…..
…..while it is still relatively SAFE to do so.
Sorry, this is totally un-edited. Manny was busy enough, fixing problems with my mass mailing system. Nonetheless, should be highly enjoyable…..

Comments Policy
I really appreciate good comments. Many people come back here, in-between posts, just to read the comments. If you help me entertain them, you’re my hero. A few rules: This is not a chat board. Your comment must primarily, largely involve and directly touch upon something that, or someone whom, I wrote about in the post you’re commenting on. Life reminiscences (if relevant), relating your relevant personal experiences, your job, your commie college girlfriend, your idiot family members, your Ukrainian coworker, etc., if relevant, are all HIGHLY encouraged. The most interesting content here… is YOU. The only exceptions to the on-topic requirement, are if you’re calling attention to a technical problem with the site, or briefly stating how much you love the content or this Comments Policy. Don’t try to “legitimize” an off-topic comment by throwing in some little pre-thought or afterthought about what I wrote. NO DISCUSSIONS THAT STRAY FROM MY TOPICS. My topics are the only common denominator here, and while it may amuse you, most readers have no interest in your thoughts on the Punic wars, or on some guy named Serge, or on how much you generally / generically don’t like the Ukraine and Zelensky; it’s your way to kill your own time, but it adds no value for others. Which means, if you’re responding to someone else’s comment, your response must still relate directly to one of my topics. Doesn’t matter how much you generously donated, these rules apply equally to everyone. 350 word limit, no exceptions, 351 words won’t be published, sorry. No rambling. If you’re not sure what “rambling” is, ask yourself, “Are others likely to understand and appreciate or enjoy my comment, or am I merely jerking off“? Nazis, commies, worshipful groupies of Mercouris/Johnson/etc., Jew baiters/haters, FBI agents-provocateurs, guys who forgot to take their Ritalin, passive-aggressive needling of the sysop or of other commenters (to include, by dipshits who think their attitude will fly if they mention possibly maybe potentially giving me money at some point—yes, “you people” are all the same), random questions that have no bearing on what I wrote (to include requests for my view on some commentator I’ve never heard of), no-punctuation writing by the smartphone generation, silly “Nadsat” lingo picked up from “The Saker” website, use of the BS term “SMO“, ALL CAPS writing (a sure sign of untreated autism), obsessives who just can’t leave a topic alone after they’ve already said everything (and just want to repeat themselves), and autistic bitching about the satanic USA and its evil pedo pervert elites and how they must be killed (or other bile in that vein), will not be tolerated. If you’ve got issues, this is not your “let it go” zone. Don’t write anything here, that your therapist wouldn’t approve of.
in some videos of FPV Kamikaze drone strikes an intermittent ‘low battery ‘ warning appears whilst the rest is in Russian language i.e. бобр which means Beaver .Seems incongrous !
I guess they will go all in. That fits to their casino-mentality. They are used to gamble, that is how they run their system and economies to a certain degree. And the whole thing is highly ideological now – they coupled their destiny to Ukraines even though Ukraine is not exactly strategic (it is only if you say that a balkanisation of Russia is your main strategic goal).
The people are mentally ready for a bigger war, I don’t care that much about polls, I know that nobody will go to the streets to protest against it (maybe a minority).
All the students, the fucking professors, intellectuals and other parts of the populations are indoctrinated this time and are in for the bloodshed, because “Should we do nothing?-We have to help them!” – because “They want to fight and free their country!” – as if they are pure programmed machines.
I don’t think that the Russians are ingenious and master check players in all their decisions (tactical, strategic, economic, whatever – there is always the human factor) and I don’t think that one should underestimate the Westerners. But I think that Russias main project manager Putin and his technocrats are taking this far more seriously than the West thinks and that they might prepare for an even more serious scenario. Western politicians totally follow in the steps of all the other people that tried to fuck up Russia. That will be a hard landing.
IMO
the 4th Ukrainian army will be made up Poles, Romanias, Brits, and other second and third rate chumps (crazy signing bonuses = volunteers) plus the 200 billion in weapons you mentioned.
the 4th Ukraine army will fold like a cheap suit and go all Afghanistan on team Brandon.
Hello. This 1st, 2nd, 3rd Ukrainian army stuff, is bullshit from McGregor or some other idiot. Don’t believe everything you read, or hear on Youtube.
Hasn’t UK MoD been recruiting cheap meat from Africa and offering EU/UK citizenship to volunteers who go and fight for democracy in The Ukraine? I wonder how that’s going
You are referring to an advertisement for mechanics, not warriors. I think the citizenship part is embellishment, nonsense. Still, not being able to recruit mechanics within UK borders, who are willing to go work in some Ukrainian town probably far from the front line… well, that’s a far cry from the rah-rah-rah of March 2022, “innit”?
RE: ………..GLOBOHOMO…………!!!!!
I have seen this word proliferate into other talking heads message with the “same inferred” meaning
that you “coined”.
NICE JOB Jacob !!!!!
I think that is a good thing.
So the counter-offensive is failing if not failed. It seems the conflict in the next few months is coming to a crossroads for Ukraine, to yield to Russia, or to keep an attrition war going to grind the Russians down more politically than militarily in a hundred more Bakhmuts, buying time to raise another army or some form of nato intervention. But i suppose this will be for the American government to decide
When the war started, about day 7, people around me started arguing whether it would be “Russia 1812”, “Russia 1941” or rather “Russia 1944″…
I claimed that it would quickly get to being “Korea 1952”, which left the others puzzled as very few people today remember, or know anything of, the Korean war.
This would become a long war of attrition with a nasty stalemate that would eventually be codified into an unhappy cease-fire. Probably brokered by the Chinese. You would need, though, a death of Stalin and change of governments for this to happen. And the Ukranians will wake up one morning understanding that they had been “fired” by the west as their chief executive special operations.
Depends on the goal. Win just enough to spin….?From the cope I have seen it does not take much. A burning Leopard tank for example is a good sign of the successful logistics it took to get it there to burn. Talk about a low bar. Remember what Assange said. The point was not to win the war , but to simply launder funds. Maybe the war started out as something more ambitious, but now Ukraine might be nothing more than a mob run pizza joint.
Okay, I’m retired Audio Engineer.
Nominations, awards. 30 yrs.
With the computerized audio samples
And now AI, it’s possible to generate sounds, voices, that are almost undetectable to professional veterans, and truly undetectable to the average listeners.
Also now we can have any one read or just speak into a video camera, and there are algorithms that can generate anyone in real time.
This “ Audio Clip “ is child’s play,BS.
The uninitiated will bite hook,line, and sinker.☮️
What audio clip?
The recording mentioned in indictment of Trump, perhaps?
Appreciation shout-out to Manny.
Yes, 2nd audio was highly enjoyable. Lack of editing was also noticeable.
This is second time you have mentioned Thailand. Please elaborate?
You will probably have to search on Thailand political history.
I’ve consulted my Magic 8 Ball and it says Most Definitely… Uncle Sam will quadruple down on their game of Let’s You and Him Fight. The USSA’s psychopaths in charge believe they have nothing to lose by perpetuating this conflict with the Evil Empire… Hell, it’s a wet dream come true for the lifelong career Russophobes in the CIA and Pentagram and Ivy League Industrial Complex, it’s a bonanza for the defense lobbyists and contractors with no end in sight for hawking their next generation weapons, great fortunes are being made through the Ukrainian War money laundromat, and the Party of Chaos does not want to see this end before the 2024 selection they need to keep the good times rolling as long as they possibly can. The bottom line is this is not going to stop until the Ukrainians run out of warm bodies, and when that happens look for the coalition of the unwilling to be pressed into service by Uncle Sam. Most Definitely.
I couldn’t agree with you more on your take of Trump and this mess with the classified intel and documents that he took home. Trump is such a disappointment. A huge disappointment. The best thing he did was before he was even sworn in, and that was defeating the wicked witch Hilldawg.
Oh, there was the “perfect phone call” with Zelenksy. That was a key achievement.
Trump had one job in my book……beating the Beast. Anything beyond that would just be a bonus.
He pulled that off, miracle of miracles, but having done so, he blew probably the only opportunity any President would ever have to really take a hatchet to DC and clean some of those snakes out. He chose not to, and now it will forever dog him, because THEY will forever dog him.
I haven’t understood how he keeps making the same mistakes since the election, especially supporting swamp creatures. McCarthy? Miss Lindsey Graham on his team? Sheesh. And as Jacob said, not even a smidge of support for the J6 prisoners.
It doesn’t matter at this point, because I have checked out of caring for the US and it’s citizenry, pretty much keep to myself and of course won’t be voting any more. And hopefully I’ll be out of here before 2024 or we get spanked by Russia or China, whichever comes first.
Regarding the likelihood of continued material/financial support following this failure of an offensive, Uncle Sam will simply have to assess the willingness of the Ukrs. to continue to die on his behalf. It’s the one thing he cannot give them. If such willingness exists, it will be indulged. Apparently, as long as Russians are dying, it’s a worthy investment, regardless of the final outcome. I have, however, come across recent accounts of certain units refusing to carry out offensive action. Not certain of their veracity, but I hope and expect that this posture will become more general going forward.
The cliche “The US will fight the Russians to the last Ukrainian” is not just a cliche. It’s the truth.
So ignore the grammarians and say it often.
It will be interesting to see how deep and broad the cultural hatred of Ukrainians for Russians is and how far it will allow them to be led.*
(*As the old curse “May you live in interesting times” reminds us, when we take interest in things like this–or for that matter, Jacob’s insightful commentary on this war–we mustn’t forget the horror of the people living, and dying, through it.)
I just heard you say, “collusion delusion”. Been using that since 2016 back when disqus was fun to troll.
Definitely interested in hearing more as it becomes available on the trend of swamp resignations – have seen similar trend from our neck of the woods….Thanks for the week-end update, signed, one of the folks.
Honestly, this kind of development of THE counter-offensive makes me a bit anxious. The DNR Joker threw some numbers, saying that 47th and 82nd brigade had about 90 armored vihacle each. If they wanted to reach the sea with this, than I’will be damned. Something critical simply has to happen in the next couple of weeks, probably before the Vilnus NATO summit meeting. This makes you think, what would happen to the Russians if they tried the same kind of assault over open fields? Would the outcome be a kind of carnage that we are seeing now?
Vuhledar.
The west did say that Ukraine has all the tools for this offense. If it keeps failing, why would they keep putting more weapons in and watch them burn all over internet. Just check Germanys Leopard tank company stock price. Cant imagine USA wants that with there F16. This has to be do or die for the actor….the best he will get is just more ammunition’s.
You mentioned in a previous post that Russian casualties were mainly from the HIMARS. Alexander repeated this claim in his YouTube video today. Just thought I would let you know because you probably don’t watch him anymore.
Hello. Where do you think he got that information? After the “Rybar” Telegram channel, I can see that I’m his #2 source of Ukraine war news and analysis, or inspiration at least. Not saying he follows me verbatim, of course not. But it’s unmistakeable. And he’s got 30 times the following that I do, go figure.
you don’t pander. au contraire! good!
Just to illustrate the point about believing your own propaganda (and being an arrogant arse at the same time), former British Tank commander, Hamish De Bretton-Gordon (yes, that really is his name) said yesterday, in The Telegraph : “British made tanks are about to sweep Putin’s conscripts aside. As a former tank commander, I know the Challenger 2 vastly outmatches what’s left of Russia’s armour”. We really have some impressive experts in the UK.
All 14 of them? That will be impressive.
Of all the crap I read this week (Bloomberg anyone?) this must be the most ridiculous piece of… what would you call it?… analysis?… opinion?… part self promotion and part propaganda? This Hamish clown is a Jenniferrific-level embarrassment (as an aside, I’ll be kinder in my assessment of Jenniferrific than Dreizin and suggest that under a different cultural influence, in a different time and place she would have probably made a perfectly fine wife, mother and homemaker… cute, bubbly and enthusiastic).
I usually place my home country of Canada as the most deluded and pathetic nation-state in the Anglosphere (granted, it barely qualifies as a nation-state) but, my gosh, the shit coming out of the UK is jaw dropping.
Dreizin, there was nothing wrong with Trump waving around documents marked classified. The president can declassify without notice. Barnes has been explaining this. The whole classification system is so the embodiment of the executive branch, the president, can control those below him. VP doesn’t have the same power so Pence and Joe Biden doing the same (before joe became president) is more problematic. Good summary:
“The President of the United States is the “Original Classification Authority,” and holds the ultimate authority to classify and declassify information. This power is typically delegated to various departments and agencies. But ultimately it is POTUS’s.
Classification process is for every person **but** the President, who, as Original Classification Authority, can do anything he wants. None of the rules apply to him, because they are **his** directives to all others. The VP. The Cabinet. Everyone else. POTUS could tweet out the PDB. Legal.”
Thanks for the legal perspective from the peanut gallery.
Despite Barnes’ “constitutional lawyer” hype, he is (or was, now he’s an Internet star) a small-time local attorney in southern California.
So small time, in fact, that as far as I can tell, he’s never actually told us his true field of practice. (Divorce law, perhaps?)
He’s a very interesting guy, likeable, with a worthy presence on the Internet, and he was the first pundit to ever plug me, but, that’s it.
This is nothing against him, just stating facts and blasting a cold shower of reality, as I normally do.
Barnes’ legal opinions are as valid or invalid as my thoughts on the future of the Chynavirus. May be interesting, food for thought, but, he’s no expert.
He mostly just carries the pre-packaged talking points of the Trump social media influencer cohort. If you read or watch what the others are carrying, you see he’s just saying the same.
I understand, a person of your limited intelligence will always find some prophet to parrot. It’s common.
Regarding whether or not a U.S. president can declassify documents by simply pilfering them as he leaves office (not even tweeting about it, just pilfering)…..
That’s up in the air. No court has ever ruled on that. So, we’ll see.
Still, classified or not, it wasn’t Trump’s goddamn property to take. It belongs to the National Archives.
Seeing as he did take it, he should’ve laid low with it, not waved it around to sycophant visitors, like some kindergartner doing show-and-tell.
Given that almost everyone around him tends to stab him in the back at some point… What did he THINK was going to happen??? He didn’t think, at all.
He’s an ass, and totally hopess. And, you’re a cultist.
“Regarding whether or not a U.S. president can declassify documents by simply pilfering them as he leaves office (not even tweeting about it, just pilfering)…..That’s up in the air. No court has ever ruled on that. So, we’ll see.”
See Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration. The case on Clinton keeping national secrets in his sock drawer.
“Jackson’s ruling — along with the Justice Department’s arguments that preceded it — made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI’s decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. The most relevant is that a president’s discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.”
Clinton took home some content–audio tapes of a talk with some historian–that he himself created. Maybe there was something secret there, and maybe there wasn’t. In any case, Clinton himself released that information to his interviewer, while he was president.
Trump doesn’t take any “notes”, or create any other content. He’s a lazy retard when it comes to everything but real estate and managing his brand name. EVERYTHING that he pilfered, was written by someone else. He stole and walked out the door with a bunch of documents marked Classified, Secret, Top Secret, whatever. He did that, carelessly, while under threat of impeachment for instigating an alleged insurrection.
He then retrieved and waved some of these documents around to his sycophants and fans, who visited him at one of his homes, like a kid showing off his Pokemon cards. A few of these people have apparently testified against him. He’s an idiot.
Just as ridiculous, it turns out, most of these documents have nothing to do with spying on Trump, as many of us had assumed, but rather are foreign policy related. Evidently, Trump had wanted to keep these as self-aggrandizing mementos of his awesomeness. Again, an idiot.
The funniest thing, Trump wouldn’t pee on his retard “Trump is always wronged and never wrong” enablers, if his bladder was full and they were on fire. (Not saying any other politician is any different.)
Get a life, and think for yourself, for a change. I know it’s hard, but perhaps you’ll manage.
Fourth rule of Dreizin is don’t quote someone else’s opinion in your response as evidence. First rule of Dreizin is Pay your Dreizin tax and second is no scrubs and three is follow the comments policy. Not 100 percent on the order.
LOL.
I defend Trump a lot and I don’t consider myself a cultist at all. I consider myself as someone who just likes the fact that he’s a disruptor. I usually am willing to give him a pass on stupidity unless it’s about actual policies that I was hoping he would change or enact. I opposed him sending arms to Ukraine and complained about it on Twitter. And, I was an incessant critic of him not doing more to stop illegal immigration. I turned on him big-time when he fired Jeff Sessions. I also opposed his assassination of Soleimani. Huge mistake.
I too question Barnes’ expertise on the issues facing Trump. He’s not in Southern California. He’s in Las Vegas. I called his office once because I thought he might be able to help people who were shafted out of their investment in Gazprom when the sanctions came down, as I was. He never got back to me.
Keep presenting your perspective on Trump. You are not alone.
Barnes specializes in free speech. Of the constitutional kind.
Yeah, sure he does. On Twitter. What’s his REAL career, before he became an Internet celebrity? No one really knows.
Admin report. I “liked” most of the remarks on my first pass-through and am noticing none of the likes registered.
Your likes score decreases when others click dislike
Perhaps Trump took the papers to then waved them around on purpose, he wanted to bait them into prosecuting him.
He explains in this 2min interview segment that now that they have gone after him, people will be more understanding of him coming after former presidents.
https://files.catbox.moe/pg129o.mp4
I don’t know. It’s not entirely outside the realm of possibility that there are some hidden processes going on behind all the bafoonery.
Sure, more 5D chess from Trump. Tick tock.
Just a note:
While Ukraine was promised to get like 3 times the number of Leo1’s (compared to Leo2’s), I haven’t seen any of them in action or burning as of yet.
Taking note of the “auto-replies”, that is definitely very astute. Thank you and I will buy you another coffee.
America is a Fascist state. The true power centres in America are in the government bureaucracies, especially the security ones like the CIA/FBI/NSA/Pentagon, and corporate entities. The RNC and DNC exist to vet politicians for these power centres. Modern Fascists understand that in order to continue with their existence, the people need to be thrown a freedom bone now and then, and people need to think that they are participating in government. Trump was the closest that America was ever going to get to having a person NOT vetted by the power centres in charge. The Trump/Clinton election was supposed to be a Bush/Clinton election, but the RNC failed its job in keeping outsiders out. This is becoming more and more apparent.
I disagree with Dreizen that Americans should stay out of politics though. The Republican party still has a small “populist” section that I think honest people can behind. The Democratic party has none. RFK Jr seems like an honest actor that people can get behind. I don’t think he has a chance. People cannot completely disengage from national politics, especially with the level of power and control the American government could have over people’s lives.
I have disengaged and bowed out of politics after 40+ years of watching this country go in the opposite direction I wanted it to go. Trump came the closest of all GOP Presidents to representing me in part because I hate the people who hate him and he did try to do a few things I liked. But I won’t bother voting in 2024 even if he’s the nominee. I’m done with this banana republic.
Now I just mostly kick back, work a job and work on my gardening skills, and hope I live long enough to see the whole thing implode. As Jacob says in his own delightful way, the trajectory this country is on is both set and irreversible.
Jacob, with the USA deindustrialization, systemwide corruption, ideological- surveillance state, insane social-cultural tensions etc. how do you see the future of the country? where is the USA and the rest of the west going? how these developments fit in with rising non-western powers?

Sorry but the question was for me, and, you’ve gone too far off topic, with Terminators and whatever else. Please see my Comments Policy.
Greta was right, we have to hold Putin accountable for killing all these leopards
A couple of questions:
1. Is NATO really this stupid to put the Ukrainians up against the Russians in this “counter-offensive,” or is there some another agenda? Surely they must know that this counter-offensive would be an utter disaster?
2. What is the true purpose of this year’s “Air Defender 2023” exercise, which is supposed to be the largest NATO exercise in its history? Surely, it would not go “live” and move NATO against Russia during the “counter-offensive”?
Hello.
(1) They are doing what they feel they can do; they don’t care about the Ukraine. They don’t want to fight Russia directly. Also, their “intel” about Russia and its capabilities is skewed and rudimentary, at best, as well as, strongly colored by the Russian catastrophe in east Kharkov, last September. They are victims of their own propaganda.
(2) No.
I’ve read that the military the Russians posted near Kharkov was mostly lightly armed paramilitary-type. They would have stood little chance against the ( not yet destroyed ) nato trained and supplied ukr military units in that area so the available smart thing to do was what they did: retreat and live. Not sure I’d characterize that as a catastrophe.
It was a catastrophe for as many as 20,000 local “collaborators”, who had to flee to Russia with nothing more than a suitcase or a few backpacks in most cases, some even walking on foot to the border.
Hundreds more (who couldn’t or didn’t get out) have been jailed… or worse.
And, Russia lost its northern base of operations at Izium.
And, the Ukrainians advanced to the Belgorod-Kharkov border (and would’ve gone FURTHER, if Uncle Sam had allowed it)…and have been shelling across the border, ever since.
And, Russia had to run an emergency call-up, throwing in thousands of untrained (since their original service) conscript reservists to plug the holes, so as to keep the Ukrainians from overruning north Lugansk.
And, Russia had to drastically advance its vague timetable on referendums in the “”occupied territories””, so as to maintain the loyalty, trust, and cooperation of those populations, in light of what happened in east Kharkov.
But hey, you’re the expert here, so you must be right!
What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here.
Bwahahaha…
It was not a military………………………………………………………….
Sorry, but use of the retarded term “SMO” is prohibited under my Comments Policy. Please read my Comments Policy. Thanks for your various other comments.
Admin: Excellent as usual. Still not showing up in my Twitter feed.
Are you looking at home or latest tweets?
“Pentagram”… LOL!!!
It’s the combination of incisive analysis and clever wit that keeps me glued to your channel as my primary source for all geopolitical and US political insights. That plus the fact that you’ve attracted a unique collection of like-minded lunatics to your combox.
Surreal how Zaluzhny has been memory-holed by the mainstream media. The manipulation of information is unbelievable.
A pentagram fits perfectly inside a pentagon, it’s not an error, they openly tell the world what they are. Their actions prove it’s not a joke… this is what the world is actually dealing with now.
And the usually loquacious Budanov (military Intelligence chief) has been curiously silent for some time too.
