Medvedev: “including the English bastards: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and profitable for ourselves.”


Причины и цели террористической
операции укронацистов в Курской области уже подробно и объективно отражены в аналитике. Это и желание выгодно показать остатки иссякающих сил своим хозяевам для получения новой порции денег и оружия, и попытка разредить наши боевые порядки на основной линии противостояния, оттянув часть сил в Курск и Белгород, и временное информационное превращение зрады в перемогу.
Необходимо извлечь серьёзный урок из случившегося и исполнить то, что НГШ В.Герасимов пообещал Верховному Главнокомандующему – беспощадно разгромить и уничтожить врага.

Есть и ещё одно важное политическое и правовое последствие случившегося. С этого момента СВО должна приобрести открыто экстерриториальный характер. Это уже не просто операция по возврату наших официальных территорий и наказанию нацистов. Можно и нужно идти на земли пока ещё существующей Украины. До Одессы, до Харькова, до Днепропетровска, до Николаева. До Киева и дальше. Не должно быть никаких ограничений в смысле неких кем-то признаваемых границ Украинского рейха. И об этом теперь можно и нужно говорить в открытую, без стеснения и дипломатических реверансов. Террористическая операция бандеровцев должна снять с этой темы любые табу. Пусть это осознают все, включая английских ублюдков: мы остановимся только тогда, когда посчитаем для себя это приемлемым и выгодным.

Светлая память погибшим: военным и гражданским, всем, кто попал под шквальный огонь неонацистов. Лучшая память о них – это тщательно продуманное возмездие. Выздоровления всем раненым.

The reasons and goals of the terrorist operation of the Ukrainian Nazis in the Kursk region have already been reflected in detail and objectively in the analytics. This is both the desire to profitably show off the remnants of their dwindling forces to their masters in order to receive a new portion of money and weapons, and an attempt to thin out our battle formations on the main line of confrontation, drawing off part of the forces to Kursk and Belgorod, and a temporary informational transformation of betrayal into victory.

It is necessary to learn a serious lesson from what happened and fulfill what Chief of the General Staff V. Gerasimov promised the Supreme Commander-in-Chief – to mercilessly defeat and destroy the enemy.
There is also another important political and legal consequence of what happened. From this moment on, the SVO must acquire an openly extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. It is possible and necessary to go to the lands of the still existing Ukraine. To Odessa, to Kharkov, to Dnepropetrovsk, to Nikolaev. To Kyiv and further. There should be no restrictions in the sense of some recognized borders of the Ukrainian Reich. And now we can and should talk about this openly, without embarrassment and diplomatic curtseys. The terrorist operation of the Banderites should remove any taboos from this topic. Let everyone realize this, including the English bastards: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and profitable for ourselves.

Blessed memory to the dead: military and civilians, all who came under heavy fire from neo-Nazis. The best memory of them is a carefully thought-out retribution. Recovery to all the wounded.

War ain’t what it use to be: These days, massive builds are suicidal…


Since peer armies now have unbelievable tools at their disposal called, “Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms” along with AI-assisted planning and GPS style-guided missiles and bombs, old rationale has become outdated…

These days, massive buildups are suicidal…

However, a significant buildup is unavoidable during the offensive. Attacking forces are therefore the most exposed…

The enemy needs to be drawn into a cauldron or fire bag in order to be effectively annihilated. It is now harder to trick Ukrainians than it was in the past few years since they had to learn that lesson the hard way. The bait ought to be succulent and alluring…

Day by day, before the Kursk attack, Ukraine combed the area for potential traps with a small forces. Then when they really thought no one was watching, attacked Kursk. Whether they used all of the troops at their disposal is still unknown. However, they ingested the hook, line, sinker, and bait and have been killed at a 40 to 1 rate as they poured stupidly into a trap…

Trap was weak at first: The only thing is that it seems someone in Kursk may be a traitor and again did not due the job assigned to him, he chose to skim profits off of defense at the expense of defense??? and – Kursk nuclear power plant looks to be a choice target for Ukraine to desire for Blackmail…

Regardless: Ukraine was weak before they established the northern front. This means that the already weakened Eastern Front has become even weaker. A public relations campaign to secure another round of funding from the West?

My prediction is that the number of Russians enrolling up for military service will skyrocket in August…

WtR

So Scott Ritter and FBI…


I said clearly months ago, “Scott Ritter should have stayed in Russia!”

Another, it always happens to the other guy, even when Scott has already had it happen before…

To feel better about everything and stop its own plebs from expressing truth, the West, like any bully, will turn on its own people, whom it can abuse without consequence. The USA is a text book bully…

WtR

So Scott Ritter had his passport taken from him…

Kursk region is just another death trap for NATO…


Grind Grind Grind. Russia is glad that Ukraine set everyone up in one spot. Grind Grind Grind that meat grinder…

Look at all the hoopla over this incursion?

Russian bloggers / Telegram idiots running around like chickens without heads…

Ukrainian Nazi Lovers dancing in the streets and on the internet…

American/Russian wannabees giving their knowledge about what they do not know anything about…

The civic authorities in Kursk, like those done in Belgorod, “stole somehow” did not want to create an adequate security zone in their borderlands. However, the FSB of Russia will deal with that stupidity…

And all as Russia Grinds NATO/Ukraine into dust…

Look how quiet the Western Gov’s are about this incursion?

Grind Grind Grind…
