Heeeeeeyyy folks!
I’ll get to my “Dreizin was right again“…..
…..Ukraine victory lap, soon.
It’s probably…..
…..my most consequential…..
…..victory lap…..
…..to date.
Of course…..
It’s not just about me.
It’s about REALLY big picture stuff.
Please, read on.
But, first, an update…..
…..on the Ever-TrumpTard…..
…..talking points situation.
And, as always…..
You can (and should) donate to my cause, here.
Talking points whiplash in the Trump camp
This is REALLY about…..
…..partisan psychology in general…..
…..but, the spin machine defending Trump…..
…..is so extreme…..
…..in its dogged perseverance…..
…..as to be a PERFECT case-in-point.
(Audio file duration: 5:49)
(Afterword: There are “cues seekers” among my audience as well, people who leave comments just spewing wholesale near-verbatim from Macgregor, Barnes, whoever. Not that it’s ALL crap, don’t get me wrong, but the psychology is the same.)
Dreizin beats the all-time record for AWESOMENESS
Folks…..
No, the “victory lap”…..
…..is NOT about…..
…..Zaluzhny’s concussion.
I merely have some fun…..
…..with the MSM still ignoring…..
…..or covering for that…..
…..while I get to…..
…..a MUCH bigger point.
And so…..
The Bezos (Washington) Post…..
…..finally remembered…..
…..that there’s a Ukrainian Napoleon…..
…..named Zaluzhny…..
…..who was on the cover of Time Magazine…..
…..but, disappeared…..
…..(with a serious brain injury)…..
…..in early May…..
…..and, has barely appeared in public…..
…..since.
Much less, given any interviews.
Until now. Allegedly!
Iiiiinterestingly…..
Bezos does NOT tell us…..
…..HOW they interviewed him.
They DON’T claim to have met him…..
…..or spoken to him by phone…..
…..or instant messaged with him…..
…..or whatever.
(And, they don’t write that he sounds perky, looks refreshed, fidgets with his pencil, has reams of papers on his desk, map on the wall, wears six watches like Schwarzkopf, whatever.)
Instead, they get RIGHT into it…..
…..with he said this…..
…..and he said that.
Strange!
ALSO…..
Bezos DID NOT claim…..
…..that the two photos they ran of him…..
…..were taken by a Bezos employee…..
…..or had any connection…..
…..to the “interview” at all.
Look, it’s pretty obvious…..
…..the guy’s NO LONGER in charge…..
…..and is still too busted…..
…..to talk to the press.
We can assume…..
…..the “interview”…..
…..was an email correspondence…..
…..with one of his staff, LOL.
Aaaaanyway…..
“Zaluzhny” complained to Bezos…..
…..that his people don’t have…..
…..the stuff they need…..
…..and everything is really tough…..
…..because they don’t have…..
…..what they need.
As I’ve been saying…..
How is any of this…..
…..a SURPRISE?
OK, so…..
They don’t have what they need.
But…..
They didn’t have it a month ago…..
…..or two months ago…..
…..when The Big Counteroffensive…..
…..was expected to be…..
…..a great success.
LOL.
Among other problems, according to “Zaluzhny”:
His troops should be firing at least as many artillery shells as their enemy, Zaluzhny said, but have been outshot tenfold at times because of limited resources…..
(Dreizin’s note: “Tenfold” is totally ridiculous, but yes, they are outshot.)
…..“Without being fully supplied, these plans are not feasible at all,” he added…..
…..In these conversations, Zaluzhny is frank about the consequences: “We have an agreement: 24/7, we’re in touch. So, sometimes I can call up and say, ‘If I don’t get 100,000 shells in a week, 1,000 people will die.’ Step into my shoes,” he said.
LOL.
“Step into my shoes” is NOT a local expression.
(The closest parallel, translates to something like, “Put yourself in my place.”)
And, there’s NO evidence…..
…..that Zaluzhny speaks English.
That aside…..
I covered the munitions shortage…..
….in my April 7th, 2023 post.
Here’s the relevant audio…..
…..from that post:
(The most relevant part is at 11:20 to 14:00.)
I was the ONLY American to state…..
…..IN ADVANCE…..
…..that it was HOPELESS…..
…..AND, for ***THIS*** reason (among others.)
Why did some obscure blogger (me)…..
…..nail this one…..
…..while all the “smart” people…..
…..didn’t have a goddamn clue?
Because, their bullshit hopes and dreams were all political, based on an expectation that Russia would collapse and run, because Russia is shit, and then the U.S. can supervise Russia’s capitulation and withdrawal to pre-2022 borders (and reparations and all that), well in time for the 2024 election and a focus shift to China.
They were so blinded by hate-Russia bullshit, they had no expectation of an ACTUAL FIGHT!!!
Same as the original Russian advance in late February 2022, which was supposed to intimidate the local politicians into capitulation, NOT be an actual war. It was political. THAT’S why it failed.
(Obviously, many Russia-lovers on the fringes, never got that… but, neither did the U.S. Establishment. They TOTALLY misread EVERYTHING.)
When you have political bullshit — to include, in the case of the USA, a DISGUSTING feeling of ethnic disdain and supremacy — getting in the way of (or corrupting) actual war planning, you get a CATASTROPHE.
Now, the USA is stuck, with no way to win, and no smooth, dignified way out. Basically, another Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan — take your pick. Without the “boots on the ground”, but WITH the investment in arms, money, ego, and prestige.
(Actually, in that sense, it’s even WORSE, because the Ukraine situation is the MAGNET that is pulling together most of the world in opposition to U.S. Hegemony… and, of course, Uncle Sam understands this. It’s what the recent goodies for India were about, I covered that. But, what can Uncle Sam do? He’s stuck. If/when he backs down over the Ukraine, he loses control of Europe. I wrote about THAT in ***2021***. The folks who were with me then, could barely comprehend what I was writing about. Now, perhaps they see. You know, it ONLY SEEMS the prophet is on LSD… until you actually see the prophecy begin to unfold.)
It’s a no-win, a SELF-MADE trap.
Hey…..
Tough shit!!!
Budanov
The head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Budanov, gave a “live” (on video) interview on June 24th, with almost no hair on his head, and then another live interview the next day, with his hair being up to an inch longer. And, he’s still being photoshopped into appearances with foreign diplomats and others.
Folks, the guy is in a coma, or dead.

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.
The Post’s intrepid interrogator of Zaluzhny previously was their “beat” reporter for the Washington Capitals hockey team. Nothing but the best for Bezos.
Hahaha, nuts.
Oh……and as to how westerners perceive Russians. WAAAY back when we escaped San Antonio for Spokane Washington (only to later flee from the loony lefties on the opposite end of that state), there was a family immigrants from Russia that were settling in the area and I managed to speak to one guy that was really well fluent in English and the people seemed…….well at that time they were morally better than I was, funny and intelligent in both ethereal and practical matters. They knew their Shakespear and their Tolstoy but could also rebuild a foreign to them engine and build a porch. Soon thereafter I finally asked myself a question that changed my life and that was, “if Russians are ‘bad’, then……….in what way and….what exactly have they ever done to us in a negative sense?” For some reason in my approximately 35 years of existence up until then, that obvious question that had never occurred to me. OH………and they weren’t overly enamored with blue jeans which was a very common stereotype I grew up believing. The women also didn’t wear burlap…..yet another lie.
Needless to say that ended any trust of almost anything I heard on the news or from mailings (yep a while back), from my Congressional non representatives.
You live and sometimes learn.
I want my guts and gore fix!! Nah, get that elsewhere but its always kinda fun in a real videogame like state of mind.
As always Mr. Dreizin thanks for the post and the work involved and please update your “place” on Rumble.
Violence pending. Sometime this coming week.
What I have seen about Zaluzhny suggests that he may not be dead or damaged like Budanov, but has been relieved of command and is in disgrace. The Ukrainians never received the weapons and air cover he said months ago would be needed for a successful offensive.
He may have been adamant about not leading a doomed offensive and therefore was removed from command.
Since he had been lionized it would be embarrassing to admit he had been fired so everyone pretends nothing changed even though he basically got un-personed.
From my reading of the brief video released after people started asking where he was, he looked chagrined and unhappy, not wounded, and not a CGI rendition of the real man. (The blue eyes/ brown eyes assessment is not reliable because it depends on lighting. Members of my family have ice-blue eyes that can still look dark in photos and videos.)
Anyhow, that’s my guess and we’ll all find out eventually.
Ammo shortages? Manpower shortages? Isn’t that what ceasefires are for? I’ll insert pride goeth before the fall. Western leaders arrogance makes them stupid. And evil!!!! They went ahead with their counter offensive even though they knew they were under supplied to succeed. Pissing away your most valuable resource, fighting age men. Yet the Ukrainian sheep bleed and kneel before their flag
All talking points recieved. Thanks
Nice one Jacob, very funny.
“When you have … a DISGUSTING feeling of ethnic disdain and supremacy — getting in the way of (or corrupting) actual war planning, you get a CATASTROPHE.
Thank you for that. That has always been my point of view. Most Westerners see Russians as subhumans. In Germany, where I live (unfortunately), the Russians have always served as a kind of bogeyman, evil, primitive and brutal, ignoring their technological and cultural achievments. And we hate them for defeating us.
Just got you another coffee. Love your your work. I found you by listening to The Duran, who I no longer listen to because it took too long. Thank you for cutting to the chase and being ahead of the curve.
