Russia's Special Operation in Ukraine (AKA Russia Invades Ukraine) (1 Viewer)

[Kevin C]

This is interesting.... less than a week after their SCO, Russia, China, and Iran are facing massive population unrest.

Russia is facing mass protests because nobody believes mobilization for Ukraine/Pacific is "partial", and all men are scurrying for any exit.

Iran is facing mass protests because of women's right to NOT wear "headpiece". Hilariously, they summon ambassadors
for "meddling" in a self-inflicted wound:

China has its own "unsubstantiated" rumors of a military coup by Li Qiaoming, that Xi has been under house arrest since he flew back to Beijing.
However, something is indeed happening, as over 6000 flights have been canceled, and the military has blockaded Beijing into a siege.
Here's a English mosaic of various view of the rumors.

Social media is abuzz with the rumours of Chinese President Xi Jinping being put under house arrest, and a possible coup taking place in the country, a week after two of its former minister were sentenced for corruption - a highly controversial decision in nation's history.

We never know what is going to set off a group of people, who've been under so much pressure.

In China - it truly is a who knows situation - keeping eyes on this one.

 

[Kevin C]

Well, this is interesting. Big marker in terms of EU Russia progression.

14 Things We Know About The Mysterious “Explosions” That Severely Damaged The Nord Stream 1 And Nord Stream 2 Pipelines

Guess 007 James Bond knew this was going to happen sometime... "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH" movie basically outlines the same pipeline scenarios in the same general region.

The question now is... who did it?

But certainly this means EU is finished as an industrial zone, since it will take at least 10 years to fully stabilize the energy grid due to the past 20 years of failed green energy policies that destroyed "old" energy capacity that took 30-50 years to build.

Good luck, Germany.

Yes, some are saying the US did it. But here lies the dilemma. If US did it, then it will destroy the NATO alliance and hand EU into Putin's hands.
Does the US really want to do that at this point?

Now we can point to the same 007 movie or Mission Impossible ones where.. there is a third party (rogue government or private like the Syndicate)
that wants to see a full world war break out.
This...... opens up a whole bunch of possibilities.

Update:
Predictably... Escalation.

the hidden hands are working overtime

And the plot thickens......

You see, Russia Blew Up Their Own Pipeline But NOT The Norway-EU Pipeline That’s Right Next To It And Just Opened Today

www.investmentwatchblog.com

Gas pipeline to Crimea in the Kherson region has been destroyed and is burning

www.investmentwatchblog.com

So, it seems the simple answer is that the EU destroyed Nordstream to facilitate the Norway pipeline. Using the explosion as a false flag.
Just like 007.

Also, it seems Xi has been under "soft house arrest" by the military. The Chinese military does not want to "commit suicide" by going to Ukraine.
Turns out Putin had called Xi's red hotline, and got no answer. Discussed this with Modi, and his Indian intelligence found out that Xi has indeed been "taken down" and is now under military control.

The reason? Chinese military logically stated "we are not stupid. that is your war. put your own people into your war. we have our war to fight in the Pacific Rim, and we need North Korea as well. Go ef yourself, Putin".
AND... this is why Putin immediately called for mobilization. He knew the SCO had no teeth anymore.

BTW - just like fake Biden, Adam's apple Kamala, and Slick Newsom.. US is also under military control.

 

[Kevin C]

Ignore all the Putin pronouncements. Other than the recent martial law declaration (which means he knows he's losing badly and soldiers are deserting to Ukrainian groups in droves).

Look at this regularly updated map. Pretty amazing how much detail this has:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=180u1IkUjtjpdJWnIC0AxTKSiqK4G6Pez&hl=en_US&ll=47.922985876380714%2C36.40353095868869&z=7

It's obvious Putin is losing badly, Ukraine is relatively close to re-capturing Mariupol, and right on the outskirts of Kherson. In some cases, there are anecdotes that they are already past Kherson because the Russian troops basically said "go ahead, I don't care."

 

[Kevin C]

Well, big update. We are about to see a major expansion of Ukrainian reclaimed territory in the South, since Russia has withdrawn from Kherson.

And Putin is still sending untrained recruits to the frontlines with inadequate supply, WW2-level rifles and weaponry, and bad food.
And now this - he is desperate.

And.... he did not attend the G20 meeting, which tells you a lot. He is feeling the heat from both domestic and foreign leaders.

Coupled with the capture of Izyum and Lyman (critical rail supply nodes in the north, Kherson in the south), the Russians have no way to move forward now their supply lines are cut. This is precisely why they are forced to withdraw from Kherson.

This means... with HIMARS and M777 and CAESAR weapons, Crimea is next (since part of the bridge was blown up - the road part) as there is also no way to quickly supply Crimea with soldiers and heavy weaponry. The rail is still working, but there is a limit to the weight as the rail bridge is thinner and less reinforced.

Ukraine (as Zelensky declared) is planning to take back Crimea by Spring 2023. That also means Lugansk-Donetsk regions are toast as precision shelling takes its toll 24-7. With Starlink and US-UK-Ukraine military communication systems, Ukraine can send shells and RPGs at night at precision targets without any warning. Russia is still fighting with WW2 level weaponry, blind as a bat.

 

[Kevin C]

Note we cannot accept Xi's offer to broker peace in Ukraine. Two reasons.

1) China is doing this to stem the hemorrhage of Russia's military weapons supply and military personnel, because Xi
needs to attack Taiwan soon. China needs Russia's help to do so. This is why they recently had a joint military exercise.
No, this is not speculation; China has already started using the
same strategy as Russia in the beginning of the war - calling [pro-China politicians and retired
military from Taiwan] to visit China, and initiating war preps on outer islands of Taiwan (cutting communications,
blockading supplies, and encouraging military deserters to "swim" to China and give up critical
intelligence).

2) China is basically trying to justify Putin's land grab. Why? Xi knows Putin is losing badly, and is basically
wasting military resources and personnel for a flimsy piece of land. Putin fell into a trap and lost sight of the grand chessboard.
Xi is basically trying to justify his imminent invasion of Taiwan.

If you are supporting this peace offering, let me give you an analogy.

Let's say you live in a single family home with front and back yard (note, you have a legally defined land lot).
Your next door neighbor, to your left, is a pompous prick (like the Merovingian, Putin and Xi). He decides
he needs to build a big water fountain like the famous one in Italy, and notices that it will only fit if he
builds into your yard. So.... one fine morning, he asks his diggers to prep half of your front yard for the
fountain.

Of course you are furious. But the guy hires a security (re: muscle thugs) team to keep you from stopping the
construction. You call the cops, they say its not their job - sue him. Suing him won't do any good, he will
finish before the lawsuit even reaches the courts. So you fight them with rakes, shovels, rocks. This delays
his project a little, but he continues for 10 days until it is completed.

So he walks up to you and offers a peace offering. Stop here, I give you 100 bucks, peace?

NOW, tell me - are you going to accept this peace offering as is, or do you see the elephant in the room - this guy
illegally stole your land.

If you accept this analogy, and you accept China's peace offer, you will open the international floodgates where there
is no law, everyone can steal anyone's property and land, use whatever premise in history:

let me give you a few -

1) UK can call India its property because it used to occupy India and there are lots of UK population.
2) California should be Mexico because it used to be Mexico and there's a lot of Mexicans.
3) French-speaking Belgium should be France because it was once the French under the monarchs.
4) Indonesia should be France because it was once called French Indochina.
5) New Orleans and all of middle America should be Canada's because New Orleans has a French quarter and the Lousiana Purchase was illegal.
6) Italy should invade all of Europe and call it Roman Empire because...... Holy Roman Empire.
7) Greece should do the same because Alexander the Great once ruled all of Europe.
And the big one.7
8) Taiwan is historically China's, and should be given back.
BTW - if you do this, say goodbye to tech freedom and economic free trade. China will bully and control the world with Taiwan's
semiconductor and industrial manufacturing base, AND control the Taiwan straits where over 60% of world trade and 50-60% of
world's commodity/energy trade goes through.

China is already infuriating Southeast Asia due to its illegal "ocean grabbing" practices in the South Seas.

The grievances are... endless.

So, if you accept Donbas region for Russia, you will open the floodgates all over the world, especially in lawless regions
such as Mexico, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

There will be no UN, International law will be officially null and void. World War 2 will look like a cakewalk.

And once again, as yet another example of why Putin and Xi (and Iran mullahs, North Korea, Africa/ME dictators)...
Putin silently kills yet another anti-Putin protestor.

This is what communist regimes and dictators do. The Czech saw this up and front these two years with politicians being
murdered right after China lodges complaints. The Czech population is furious, and has already begun swinging pro-Europe.
Even Germans are waking up to this and other economic subterfuge from China.
