The Armed Forces of Ukraine systematically destroy
enemy personnel, weapons, military equipment,
and support assets. This diminishes its offensive capabilities,
hinders the replenishment of resources and the support of its troops,
and reduces Russia's capacity to continue its armed aggression against
Ukraine.
Join the Armed Forces of Ukraine to protect your family
, and together, bring us closer to a just and lasting peace.
Glory to Ukraine!

The Euro morons and the US meeting in Oslo have come up with another genius plan to present before the Russians. The plan is to take the 4 central Russian demands …
Russia is given the Donbas whole.
Ukraine is a neutral state.
Zelensky government out (denazify)
Ukraine retains only a small military force (demilitarised)

… and divide them by 2, in the spirit of compromise, to leave just the first 2.

And then divide those by 2, the Russians need to compromise as well.

So the final proposal is that the Russians take the whole of the Donbas and Ukraine is allowed to join NATO.
or,
there is a ceasefire on the current battlelines and Ukraine stays out of NATO.

The Europeans and the Americans are presumably confident that the Russians will find this very tempting but I think that the Russians might think perhaps the western morons have not really been listening to anything they say and that it’s actually the best deal the west can come up with, in their dreams.

It won’t be just the Russians who will have doubts, Zelensky will not sign up to this either, Trump still thinks he has sway over Zelensky but really I don’t think he ever did.

Zelensky and his gang are making big and are not going to give any of it up until it all starts to collapse down around their ears. They are going to watch the whole of Ukraine burn if need be, they themselves will be fine after all.

And Kaja Kallas tells us that Russia attacking shipping heading for Ukraine is becoming a direct threat to err, the EU. But she was less clear as to what the EU was going to do about it considering NATO countries are already doing all they can short of joining the conflict directly though that already might be happening. Russia believes that some of the drones involved in the recent 500 drone attack on St Petersburg were actually launched from Poland.

The Russians also suspect that in the coming Oslo talks that the US will threaten to give Ukraine access to the military version of Starlink which is called Starshield. Zelensky is trying to pretend that he already has it but that the US hasn’t turned it on fully. Whatever, the internet guidance would give Ukraine the ability to choose their own targets in Russia.

If that be the case there is a very real possibility the conflict could be over very quickly with the whole of Ukraine going down in flames. Even without going nuclear Russia has built up a huge stockpile of assorted new era cruise and ballistic missiles.

The UK, EU and the US are still under the impression that Russia really doesn’t have red lines and that they’re always bluffing, but they are forgetting the region is at war just as Russia said it would be if the west tried to incorporate Ukraine into NATO.

The Defense Forces of Ukraine are systematically destroying
the enemy's personnel, armament, military
equipment, and support assets. This weakens its offensiv
capabilities, complicates the replenishment of resources
and the resupply of troops, and diminishes Russia’s capacity to
continue its armed aggression against Ukraine.

Unbelievably Putin has turned down the very generous offer of a ceasefire, for the 95th time.

Why can't he understand it's a win-win situation. Russia gets to give up its battlefield, man power and weapons stockpile advantages while Ukraine gets time to build up theirs.

The explanation for such a view is of course that the west are completely drunk on their own koolaid.

It's not hard to see why.

Western mapping teams were still showing Ukraine troops holding Pokrovsk last time I looked in spite of the Russians capturing it months ago. Oh no they say, vids of Ukraine drones attacking Russians tens of km further on, well those are just DRG units, advance troops well ahead of the main Russian line.

Meanwhile the western politicians are telling us that the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse, just one more sanctions package should do it.

And the Ukraine army tells us that because the Russians are moving forward means they’re losing 3 times the Ukrainian losses, not that the Russians are really moving forward you understand because the frontline is in a err, stalemate.

And of course Ukraine has the whole west supplying them with military equipment, the US even pulled out all the stops to ramp up production of Patriot missiles from 700 to 750 a year, outstanding.

So when assaulted by so much bullshit coming at you from so many different directions it's not hard to get swayed into believing.

What is comical is watching Witkoff turning up in Moscow time after time to deliver the exact same proposition, being warmly greeted by Putin, and then receiving the exact same response time after time - Nyet.

It's easy to see why Putin is just going through the motions at this point having given up on the process and is now content to watch the war play out on the battlefield.

The Russians have no need to hurry, they can take their time and keep their losses to a minimum while if need be they have a big hammer standing by if Zelensky tries anything stupid, which he probably will at some point.

It is important to remember that the 2 sides have completely different aims on the battlefield. The Ukrainians are trying to recapture lost territory while the Russians are simply out to destroy the entire Ukraine army (demilitarisation of the opposition by attrition).

The Ukrainians like to make counterattacks, they look good on the news. The Russians like the Ukrainians to make counterattacks, it pulls them out of their pre prepared defencive positions and as the Russians pull back the Ukrainians make a cauldron for themselves.

A cauldron is a 3 sided killzone which is what happens when the Russians sit back and call up long range fires (drones, artillery and glide bombs) to deal with the Ukrainian counterattack.

Ukrainian counterattacks are a big reason that caused Budanov (now Zelensky’s number 2) to say Ukraine needed to recruit 30,000 a month to cover losses and Polish politician Tusk saying Ukraine was losing 27,000 men a month.

Meanwhile the bigger global picture continues to look very bleak. The current global production of oil matches a global economy 20% smaller than it is, which means our national economies are heading for a 20% reduction if the powers-that-be continue on the current trajectory.

Which must be the plan because both these wars could be shutdown within 24 hours if that really was the actual goal, clearly it’s not.

In fact it’s obvious both these wars are being kept going deliberately for no other reason than to enforce that 20% deindustrialisation (Germany, efficient as ever, gave themselves a head start and are already there).

‘The Great Reset’, here we come.
