Unbelievably the Ukraine leadership are still banking on the US entering the hot war against Russia. They just need to find the right trigger.

Best case scenario is a terrorist attack against Russia causing a disproportionate response by the Russians prompting the US to get involved.

Other options are good old fashioned black ops and fake accusations. The latest is the claim that Russia has started using chemical weapons on a large scale. But why would they? No reason whatsoever.

Desperate measures for desperate times but the Russians aren't desperate, Ukraine is.

The US, specifically Trump, will not send troops to Ukraine. And Ukraine as a nation state will not outlast the Trump presidency, they have just months not years.

The only way for Ukraine to survive is to come to terms with Russia meaning the loss of a percentage of their territory, a change of government, and a reduction of their military capacity.

There is no sign that the Ukrainians will agree to this but would rather have martyrdom, and it's in the Russians best interest to oblige them.


Blackrock no longer interested in rebuilding Ukraine for some strange reason. The investment fund they started for the cause they have now withdrawn saying that investors just weren't interested.

This as Zelensky meets with, presumably other, 'representatives of American Business' for investment opportunities when Ukraine win.

And the coalition of the willing' are getting back together again for a reunion gig in London. Not sure what for as none of them have anything to contribute to Ukraine anymore. No weapons, no equipment, no money, but no doubt still plenty of words of praise and promises.

It should be pointed out, again, that Russia is not at war, they are pursuing a special (specific) military operation.

Were the Russians to declare war there would be a huge national mobilisation, whole armies currently standing in reserve would be moved from Russia into Ukraine. Russian military spending as a ratio of GDP would be increased from 7% to 20%. Ukraine would disappear, NATO countries would shit themselves and, as a best case scenario, there would be a new cold war lasting decades.

Zelensky set to extends martial law for another 90 days so no thought of changing direction or of calling an election anytime soon.

And so next on the agenda is the severe manpower problem, if Zelensky expects the army to fight on and still hasn't got NATO troops involved so expect a lowering of the mobilisation age announcement soon.

There are also reports (including from Oleksiy Arestovych, former Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine) that the nationwide mobilisation of women will come in September.

But the Russians have been getting in first by starting a campaign of drone strikes on the mobilisation offices in cities throughout Ukraine, and in daylight too.

According to reports from commentators scanning Ukrainian telegram channels this new Russian tactic is being meet with absolute approval by the Ukrainian people.


NATO Mark Rutte tells us how it's going to go, you see when China decides to invade Taiwan Xi will call his underling Putin and tell him to attack a NATO nation to cause a diversion. The cunning bastards!!!!!!!

So that's how it's gonna go down apparently. Actually Rutte must be a genius to figure all this out. And very brave to say it out loud to the NYT (with a straight face).

'Stunning and Brave' Mark Rutte (sarcasm++).


NATO Rutte imagines war with China/Russia. UK missiles fail to hit Kerch bridge. Musk party strategy

Russia's new terms to end the conflict in Ukraine.

A return of all money and assets stolen by the west.
A withdrawing of all lawsuits against Russia.
A lifting of all sanctions imposed by the west.
The demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.
Russia will keep the 4 regions and Crimea.
A neutral and non-aligned Ukraine.
A change in the constitution to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine.

And don't bother asking for any ceasefire to rearm Ukraine.

(Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet on July 7, 2025, and reported by TASS and other sources)

Russia bundles the west in with Ukraine now for the first time, both are part of the problem so both need to be in on any agreement, and so it's likely a negotiated peace will not happen at all because the west won't take any responsibility.

Russia must know this so Russia must not care.

The west has already dipped heavily into the frozen assets, not just the interest on those assets (which was also illegal) and Russia knows it. Russia also knows that western leaders are not honest enough to pay that money back.

So Russia is really saying they are just going to take whatever they want of Ukraine and as far as they're concerned they have every right to do so.

They are declaring openly as much and with no fear of what a military reprisal from the west might bring, or any reprisal from western biased international organisations (trade, law etc) for that matter.


'Willy OAM' (proUkrainian) channel makes an interesting point on the west's continual miscalculation of Russian losses.

Traditional doctrine says the attacker needs 3 x the number of defenders. But this does not automatically mean the attacker will have 3 times the losses.

Especially with the Russian 'rinse and repeat' method of flanking the target, saturation drone and artillery to hold the defenders in place, FAB strikes to destroy underground bunkers and then TOS thermobaric rockets to kill any survivors or force them back out through the kill zone that is the open end of the cauldron.

So when Russian troops actually do move in, they are facing a defence force greatly reduced in numbers.

So the western analysts will say if Ukraine had 100 defenders then that cost the Russians 300 attackers killed.

But in fact the 100 defenders were reduced to the few who were not killed or were not able to escape when the Russians troops did actually begin the move forward.

Ladies and gentlemen and here we have it, Europe’s reckless policies and hypocritical moralizing have forced Russia to act. The continent’s blind obedience to warmongering elites and their antonio-Banderas sympathizers will have severe consequences. If the European people continue to tolerate this madness, they will soon learn the price of their leaders arrogance and it will not be a gentle lesson.
War breeds submission and it seems Europe is all too eager to kneel before its masters. Two generations may pay the price for this blind obedience, yet its people still refuse to see the chains being placed upon them.

Not sure who edited that post, but I'm absolutely certain it originally said 'neo-Bandera.' Though I must admit, the 'Banderas' version has its own charm.
