I still have no idea how this is all going to work out.
Putin’s objectives are clearly not based on thinking that is of the type found in so many western talking heads and twitterati.
It is not clear to me that chaos can be avoided for the rest of the century.
That the post WWII world order will collapse is not beyond what we’re looking at here.
That institutions like the UN, the collection of central banks which tie the global economy to the US currency, etc., may all be on the block over the coming years.
The religious right in this country have already demonstrated their desire for a strong man despot.
The very rich are not going to be your saviors. The Murdochs, Mercers, etc. of this world are ideological while the Gates, Bezos, etc. are at best money shepherds.
Who’s gonna be surprised if it is ultimately revealed that Putin’s meddling in the 2016 election to try and install trump had as much to do with his designs on invading and annexing Ukraine as far back as then?

my guess is russia at some point will put its tail between its legs and go home. ukraine will recover its provinces an crimea. it will be fastracked for both eu and nato. coalition forces will set up in ukraine. the u.s. will build a large airbase in the west and russia will become a third world backwater. they’ll pay reparations for many years to rebuild the cities and kyiv will become a “paris of the east.”

re: #97 Belafon
Holy fuck. That’s even bigger than getting Germany to rearm. The post nuclear weapons pacificism of Japan is even more intense than the shame of the Nazi party. Much gratitude and honor to those who made that decision.
And on a different consideration…
It’s always been said when, especially the T-72, Russian equipment has been hammered by Western militaries, that it was “monkey models” that weren’t as good as that used by the Red Army. Yet now we see that isn’t an excuse that works anymore.
This is supposed to be the A Team. The best training. The best gear. The best support.
And they’re being hammered into the dirt.
Once upon a lifetime ago, we were told we had to kill 5 Soviet tanks (where I was, they would have been Czech T-72’s) before we died. That would slow them enough for REFORGER to have time to work. I begin to wonder if we might have survived after all…

For fuck’s sake, Putin’s lifetime goal is to reunite the old Russian Empire by bringing all the old Soviet Republics back into Russia’s sphere of economic and political interest, either by physically reconquering it or simply installing governments friendly to Russia.
The presence of NATO is a direct threat to that goal.

Also, given that interview with PoW’s and the alleged leaked FSB document, this appears to have been planned in small pieces, with only those at the top knowing the full picture. This could explain some of the confusion and lack of coordination on the ground.
One thing is for sure, it is very important that those at the top are caught alive and brought to the ICC for trial.

It’s like the other “isms” in that they work theoretically if the persons in the system are perfect little automatons that don’t act like human beings historically behave.
And it’s still a parasite system since it could never build itself but would have to seize control of an already built system. On its own I don’t think it would ever build much past a poor sort of feudal state since there is very little incentive for anyone to develop things outside of the immediately controlled fief.

DOD “thinks” he’s autistic with asperger’s
Politico
When Russia invaded Crimea in Ukraine’s south in 2014 and Russian-backed separatists launched a war against the Kyiv government in Ukraine’s east, Insight and other LGBTQ organizations opened shelters for people fleeing conflict. The years since have not been easy for LGBTQ rights supporters. There has been some progress: The government barred employers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and rules were reformed to make it easier for transgender people to change their legal status. But hate crimes are sadly common, and LGBTQ events and community centers have frequently been attacked. A women’s march Shevchenko helped organize was targeted by far-right thugs in 2018, and the police responded by arresting her.Which is why it was significant that Volodymyr Zelenskyy shouted down an anti-LGBTQ heckler several months into his presidency in 2019—something that would have been hard to imagine for a president years earlier. His government proposed hate crime legislation that covered LGBTQ people in 2020.
The perseverance of Ukraine’s LGBTQ movement was an important signal that Russia’s culture war was failing in one of the places where it began. Activists in neighboring countries have battled attacks from anti-LGBTQ politicians, often pushed by forces aligned with the Kremlin. Opposition to LGBTQ rights helped forge an alliance with Russians close to Putin around the world, including in the United States—this is part of what drove much of the social-conservative movement in the United States to embrace Putin.

Stuff like this has always been the Achilles Heel of any theory that has Trump firmly in the grip of any particular faction or country or world leader.

I will admit I like reading about Ukrainian kills, though I know they’re also taking some losses.
One big mistake Putin has made is he has exposed to the world, and China in particular, that Russia is not a world superpower. Sure, they have nukes, but they don’t have the capacity to be a real global threat. And given their maintenance issues with the army and navy equipment we’ve seen thus far, one has to wonder about the integrity of their nuclear arsenal as well.

re: #217 JC1
Belarus uses the cyrulik alphabet, unless you were just joking.
No, the letter is in Russian; they’re fairly close languages but it’s Russian. Belarus and Ukraine commonly use Russian for all sorts of communication. English doesn’t belong to England, and Russian doesn’t belong to Russia. This is one of the Kremlin’s bullshit imperialist arguments.
re: #247 Teukka
These are increasingly dystopian and fantastical comments from RU. They are really psychotic.
And will, unfortunately, be wholeheartedly believed by a non-trivial segment of the Russian public.
And likely a (thankfully) more-trivial segment of the public over here….

The Russian Orthodox priest does a dead on Rod Dreher impersonation.
[Embedded content]
Well, old Kiril isn’t just a “priest” - he’s the head of the whole Church over there; but yeah: this is about par for the course. Just out of curiosity, I went over to TAC to see what the real Dreher was opining; and it’s the usual mess. He leads with a riff on the Ilya Repin painting of the “Zaporozhian Cossacks” and the online Ukrainian version thereof*: his own commentary is fairly supportive, but his comment section (typically) is a cesspool of pro-Russian, pro-Putin, anti-Western anti-“woke” bile (albeit with some pushback). It really is amazing how some (nominal) “conservatives” will indulge in apologetics for even the worst actions (like an aggressive war), if they imagine that their “enemies” - i.e. anyone the least bit in favor of a tolerant or liberal society - might suffer because of it
*Which several commentators pointed out was supposedly staged in 2015 by “Ukrainian Nazis”, who they bitch about as having been “harrassing” the poor victimized Russians in the Donbas…..

This was about my post that the “resignation letter” from the alleged Belarusian general was in Russian, not Belarusian. (I’m late responding because LGF is totally fubared for me and I’ve only now found my way back.) I just took a quick look at some official documents from the Belarus government website, and, not at all to my surprise, they are in Belarusian, not Russian. So I continue to wonder…

“The American people are done with government overreach,” one convoy participant yells at me while we both drive on the Beltway. The car speeds away when asked what they’re accomplishing by driving in circles.

I’m wary that the truckers will keep doing increasing Beltway laps each day moving forward. Jim Worthington, a trucker from Buffalo, who brought five trucks, told The Daily Beast that he would have to get back to work this week after failing to invoice 50K this past week alone.

A comment on today’s electoral-vote.com website says:
D.G. in Montreal, QC, Canada, writes: Last week, I wrote in to suggest that water was an overlooked dimension to the conflict. After watching this excellent video (which touches on that topic) it makes me think that it’s also about natural gas. Basically, Ukraine has significant natural gas deposits in the Black Sea which, had they been developed, would make it into a rival petro-state. You can see from the current map of occupied territory that Russia has prioritized the Black Sea coastline. This corridor of control will allow them to (eventually) plunder Ukraine’s’ reserves, while also opening up a corridor from Donbas to Crimea to Transnistria.
This leads me to surmise that perhaps part of the reason why sanctions don’t matter to Putin is that oil and natural gas are left off the list (because Europe is so deeply dependent). Maybe Vlad has concluded that with future Russian exploitation of these resources, the war will pay for itself. Where have I heard that one before?
I finally set foot outdoors today to find that some asshole stole the bike rack off my car. I filed a police report because I am a Good Citizen(tm) but absolutely nothing will come of it. It’s miniscule potatoes in the Big Scheme of Things, but it still pisses me right the fuck off.
It woulda been worth him doin it just to have caught him doin it.

Get a bunch of people out there waving Ukrainian flags to block the convoy.
For added points have someone sneak out in the night and paint a big Z on the side of every truck.

I’m sort of sad to admit that I do rather enjoy waking up each morning and seeing video and photos of burned out Russian shit. There are very few times in war you get to look at one side as being decidedly evil. Not the individuals, but the ideology, and the war machine itself. Yes, I am sad young Russian men are dying. I’m more sad for the Ukrainian children who are being cluster bombed.
