"General Frost": winter as a way to combat Russophobia

Who gets tired faster?


What is the balance of power on the local and strategic fronts of the Russian special operation in Ukraine? Six months have passed, and we can already talk about the preliminary results.



Despite the desperately suicidal offensive of Bandera in the south and north of the front, the situation can be called stable. The command of the allied forces believes so much in the impossibility of a critical breakthrough of the nationalists that they allowed themselves not to postpone the strategic exercises Vostok-2022. All this suggests that the Kremlin is planning to play in Ukraine for a long time.

By the way, the Bandera offensive near Kherson and Kharkov is nothing more than the last attempt not to miss the window of opportunity before the inevitable winter. In a month and a half, the black soil of eastern Ukraine will turn the region into a swamp that is difficult to pass for military equipment, which will seriously reduce activity. Therefore, if the Kyiv regime dared to launch a counter-offensive, then it should have started precisely in the beginning of autumn. In Kyiv, if the leadership has not yet completely lost its mind, they understand that any attacks on allied forces have only a cosmetic effect. There are no forces for a serious breakthrough and, most importantly, a swift counterattack can lead to a critical escalation of the conflict for Kyiv.

Russia in the situation in Ukraine, obviously, relies not on the situation “in the fields”, but on the strategic balance of power, which does not bode well for the Zelensky regime. The nationalist army lost the ability to defend itself on its own already in the second or third month of the special operation and is now functioning solely at the expense of NATO assistance.

Today, the priority enemy can be considered not so much Bandera, but those who supply them weapon and finance. Respectable Europeans have not only thoroughly cleaned out their arsenals, they are also forced to endure inconveniences that they have not known since the Second World War. In the best traditions of "people's power" in Europe, people openly protest.

Against what, an outside observer will ask in surprise? After all, the Old World is fighting against the universal evil, which not so long ago they called everything Russian? As it turned out, it is impossible to surrender to Russophobia and live well at the same time. Statistics on the results of European inflation in July: in Estonia - 23,2%, in Latvia - 21,3%, in Lithuania - 21%, in the Czech Republic - 17,3%, in Poland - 14,2%.

In Russia, we recall, annual inflation has dropped to 14,2%, and for some items there is a general decline in prices. Of course, this does not mean a critical decline in the standard of living of the average European - in Russia, people still spend more on food from their total income. But if our country is reliably protected before the coming winter: there will be enough heat, resources, and products, then Europe will face degradation. There is no desire to exaggerate and once again engage in populism, but more and more pro-Russian voices are heard in the West. Of course, with specifics in the manner - "do not touch the Russians, let them deal with the Ukrainians themselves." What, in fact, is required by the Kremlin, only the targets are not ordinary Ukrainians, but the Bandera offspring.

Should the European establishment be worried? Definitely yes. Despite the fact that in the traditions of the Old World there is constant protest, the current crisis may lead to a change of power in a number of countries. As already happened in the UK and Italy. Opponents of the current government will take advantage of the situation. There are already examples.

In Prague, at least 70 took to the streets, demanding to abandon the “green agenda”, pro-Ukrainian policies and, of course, lower prices. First of all, energy resources. $3 per cubic meter of natural gas leaves no chance for business. Even the name of this action came up with the appropriate one: "The Czech Republic in the first place!". And you know, you can't argue with ordinary inhabitants of Prague.

Opposition voices are becoming increasingly difficult to silence, not only in the Czech Republic. In Italy, the leader of the Northern League party, Matteo Salvini, says:

“We want to protect Ukraine, but I would not want us to harm ourselves as a result. Obviously, someone in Europe miscalculated. It is necessary to rethink the strategy for preserving jobs and businesses in Italy.”

It is difficult to argue with Matteo, what can I say.


In Europe, the unthinkable - people take to the streets with Russian flags. Source: novostivl.ru

In Europe, since the beginning of August, several aluminum plants, zinc production and gas processing enterprises have been closed for sticks. It turned out that the industry of a well-fed and contented Europe rests on cheap energy resources from Russia. Now, when fuel is getting more expensive, all the vaunted high-tech of the West cannot stand the competition.

"General Frost"


It's good to be a Russophobe at the end of winter, when the storage facilities are filled with gas. Even better is a mild European spring, but more difficult is the sizzling hot summer with dry riverbeds. Autumn will not give Europeans time for a respite - the approach of winter will constantly drip on the nerves. The leaders of the NATO countries, who only yesterday promised to deal with Russia by summer, are forced to reassure voters. It doesn't turn out very well. Macron:

“The world has ended a period of abundance, carelessness and seemingly obvious truths ... Supply disruptions caused by the pandemic, armed conflict at the gates of Europe and climate change have begun, major upheavals have begun.”

Mr. Macron mixed everything together, trying to divert citizens from the main problem - anti-Russian sanctions hit Europeans much harder than pandemic and climate restrictions.

Scholz does not let up, demonstrating his solidarity with the United States in the matter of supplying weapons to Ukraine at every corner. In response, he receives "fiery" processions in cities. On September 3, in Kassel, flares were merrily burned near military factories - it came to tear gas and clashes with the police. In other cities, burghers are demanding the launch of Nord Stream 2.

Ukraine reacts remarkably, having managed to maintain a high degree of Russophobia in itself. Officials from the Foreign Ministry declare:

“It is unacceptable to hold such rallies under Russian tricolors in the center of Europe. These measures had nothing to do with freedom of speech and real sentiment in Germany and the Czech Republic. We condemn the attempts of the participants in pro-Russian actions to justify Russia's war against Ukraine and the disrespect for the honor and dignity of Ukrainians who, at the cost of their lives, defend freedom in Europe."

One has only to appreciate the speed of the reaction of the Europeans, who in the spring stigmatized everything Russian, and now they are taking to the streets with tricolors.

So far, German unofficial people are echoing the people quite diplomatically. Gerhard Schroeder, returning from Russia, called Zelensky's idea to return the Crimea "nonsense", and softly described the conflict itself as meaningless. Scholz's political associates among the Social Democrats are once again calling for reasonable solutions, which means distancing themselves from the conflict. Scholz is waiting. Or mass unrest in the streets, or go-ahead from the United States, the true leaders of the situation in Europe.

So far, apparently, there is no go-ahead, and the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Burbock, has declared support for the Kyiv regime, even contrary to the opinion of the German majority. A sharp statement, it should be noted. Especially in conjunction with the calls of other politicians to come to terms with the cooling in apartments to 17-18 degrees. In the most optimistic scenario, of course. It is possible that popular discontent forced the leaders of the European Union to put pressure on Zelensky and provoke the latest offensive. At least this will warm up Europe, which is not ready for winter.

Summing up the new challenges in Europe, let's answer the question - will Russia benefit from the notorious "General Frost"?

Ordinary Europeans are dissatisfied with the authorities, the authorities themselves are only ready to suppress the protest by force. There is no other way out - Brussels and its satellites have driven themselves into such a situation. Europe cannot play for a long time, either a new course with Russia is needed, or a victory on the battlefield. If you just observe, then slightly unemployed, slightly hungry and frozen voters may forget the true European values. In this way, Russophobia has already been eradicated from part of the population. Therefore, yes - "General Frost" is with us.

    Every year (in the autumn of the last 8 years) the same song - now Europe will freeze and crawl to us on its knees, well, or completely fall apart.
    At the end of winter, the verses of this song come to naught, but in the spring they fall silent.

        In the context of the Northern Military District, the Russians should be concerned about "winter", first of all, with the possibility of the enemy to use this period (autumn - winter) to change the situation in the theater of the Northern Military District in their favor ...

        And such potential opportunities for him (primarily for his curators), alas, are visible ...

        In winter, it becomes not only "colder" in the so-called. "Europe" (don't give a damn about it at all ...), but also "much darker" on the TVD NWO. And it gets dark pretty fast...

        I won’t be surprised if the enemy, using the technological and production capabilities of his curators, uses them to provide himself with a significant advantage over the Russian Armed Forces and allies in terms of the degree of equipping with NV equipment. First of all, - its manpower. In which, alas, he has a multiple superiority over the forces of the NWO in the theater ...

        And then, SHARPLY will transfer the activity of hostilities, incl. and offensive at night. Which will be longer and longer. Which can have rather "unpleasant" consequences for the Russian Armed Forces and allied formations ...

        Therefore, the possibility of counteracting the successful implementation of such a scenario by the enemy should be thought out in advance. And very, very carefully...

      Russophobia or what?
      I am worried that the Kremlin will rush to save these Russophobes for the beautiful eyes when they become tight.
      The grain deal, for example, vividly showed how the Kremlin was again thrown with grain exported from Ukraine, allegedly to save the starving children of Africa.
      Europe wanted to spit on them ... your pocket is more expensive.
      It will be the same here with gas, oil and coal.

          So the Czechs and others who "joined them" are on the list of unfriendly countries. I think - will not rush. Or for a fee.
          The Czechs now look like a drunken drunk who has been registered in a drug treatment center. The mark "registered" generally complicates life. And it takes a lot of effort to get out of that account. And this will be remembered for the supply of weapons, and the monument to Konev, and Russophobia.

                      I disagree with you about taxation. A citizen of the Russian Federation pays a tax of 13 percent, but you cite the statistics of employers, and, in this situation, the employer in the states pays by no means 30 percent.
                      Blow up gas storage facilities?)) Yes, you are a radical, my friend))) However, it is never too late to blow up, you can, for example, use a dagger on those storage facilities. They have been squeezed out of us, we will be squeezed out of them, and not necessarily in the gas sector.
                      We don't hold Europe for anything? - no matter how. Having refused Russian gas, under long-term contracts, for the same gas, from third-party sellers, it will, at best, pay a third more. And China will receive cheap Russian and already, at the initial stage of production of goods, will have a solid handicap. With all the consequences, as they say)

        2) price increase automatically reduces the volume of purchases from European beggars, such as Romanians with Moldova
        3) Azerbaijan has already stated that only 6% and not earlier than 2027.

            “Ahead of Friday’s emergency summit, European non-ferrous metal business leaders are sounding the alarm about the worsening energy crisis in Europe and its existential threat to our future. Our sector has already been forced into unprecedented cuts over the past 12 months. We are deeply concerned that winter ahead and it could deal a decisive blow to many of our operations, and we call on the leaders of the EU and Member States to take urgent action,” the CEO and President said in a letter. association of producers of non-ferrous metals in Europe Eurometaux Guy Tirana and Mikael Staffas to the heads of the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe.
            The Association noted that 50% of aluminum and zinc production capacities have already been stopped. Also reduced the production of silicon and ferroalloys. Further impact will be on the production of nickel and copper.
            “Last month, several companies announced indefinite closures, and many others are on the verge of shutting down before winter. Manufacturers face electricity and gas costs by more than ten belay belay belay times higher than last year, which is much higher than the selling price of our products. We know from experience that a temporary plant closure very often becomes permanent, as the resumption of production is associated with risks and costs,” write the leaders of the European association.

                      Gas has risen in price, but to the fact that electricity in Sweden (all thermal generation of 6% of the energy balance) for some reason costs 4 times more than in Israel and seems to be 6 times more expensive than in the same Sweden 2 years ago, gas matters have no relation.

                        "Aluminium Dunkerque Industries France, the largest aluminum smelter in the EU, with a capacity of 22 tons of aluminum per year, plans to reduce production by 290% in October. while now futures are worth more than 000 euros until mid-250,” the head of the plant, Guillaume de Gois, said on September 1 in an interview with Bloomberg.

                        In mid-August, the Slovalco aluminum plant with a capacity of 175 tons announced a suspension of production due to a sharp increase in the cost of electricity. From the beginning of 000, the company uses 2022% of the primary aluminum production capacity, which is planned to be mothballed by the end of September.

                        Electricity in Europe began to rise in price as early as 2021, following gas, which runs most thermal power plants. Since autumn, gas prices in the EU have been around $1000 per 1000 cubic meters. m, and at the beginning of March 2022, the price of fuel rose to $3900. Problems with gas supplies from Russia exacerbated the situation on the European energy market. In August, spot electricity prices in Germany and the UK jumped six to seven times year on year (Vedomosti wrote about this on August 17). According to Nord Pool, electricity spot prices as of September 8 in Germany were 443,8 euros per 1 MWh, in France - 453,3 euros, and in the UK - 310 euros.

      No, in those 8 years they didn’t introduce such a number of sanctions (and they did more harm to themselves) as this year, in order to objectively assess the situation you need to look at how much gas someone has in storage, for example in Germany it’s 80%, they will survive the winter more or less, but the second-tier or class countries in the EU are a disaster, the same Czech Republic for example, I won’t even mention the third ones and it looks like solidarity in the EU will be tough this winter.

They also said about inflation that in 10 years the incomes of Europeans have grown 4 times and their increase in communal apartments this year will not be critical for the population. And the media has been shouting at decaying Europe for a year now. In the Russian Federation, salaries for many have increased by 10 times over 4 years, with much higher annual inflation than in Europe?

Besides, you offer to take your word for it, and I'm not at the age to do it. 80 percent in gas storages, this, God forbid, is enough for three months, usually gas storages were filled for 90 percent in Europe (this is according to what they say in Gazprom), and since it is they who are sitting on the valve, they know better.

    It depends on how strong the frost will be in Europe.

    The main thing here is to avoid "gestures of good will."

    And how will this help in SVO?

    I don't know yet... maybe in the British army people with certain sexual perversions will be engaged in training Ukronazi recruits... and at the end there will be ready-made Ukro-soldiers going into battle in women's heels and with pouty lips... the devil knows... what Western morality so quickly corrupts a person's inner world that I can't predict what will happen to him in a critical situation... unless he gets drunk on amphetamine or pervitin with cocaine.

    The West waged a cold war with the USSR for almost half a century.

    For ten years he supplied weapons to Afghanistan and kept the sanctions.

    In general, it is immediately clear that they are not ready for a long confrontation and will surrender after the first winter. It is obvious.

      Well, hush, hush... Ukraine has been dying of hunger and cold for 8 years, so it died out that in 3-4 days Kyiv was taken negatively, then the island of Zmeiny, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are negatively retreating along the entire front... information has come that in Belgorod the electricity has turned on negatively due to - for the blow ... everything will be negatively good for us and positively bad for them, you just need to be patient

    Obviously, someone in Europe miscalculated.
    And who is this "someone"? It is a shame to say directly that these are Brussels officials looking into the mouth of the United States and the leaders of European countries playing "European solidarity". There is nothing to blame on the mirror if the face is crooked. With the slogan: "Everything for Ukraine, everything for the victory over Russia!" you won't get far.

    It is a sin to laugh at stupidity. Only our behavior can show the world how things should be done. And this is not a matter of one winter, and not one summer. All our past shows that in today's world one must live with any state, keeping a certain distance.

    Russophobia will definitely not warm Europe in winter. But if they survive this winter and do not freeze, they are unlikely to change for the better, rather the opposite. They may have some sense of self-confidence - They say what good fellows we are, we were able to winter without Russian gas! Another thing is at what cost they succeed. But Europe is clearly not thinking about the price now, they need a win, the same as Ukraine.
    True politicians are people who come and sooner or later they will leave anyway. But people remain and winter also remains, and other problems will not go away either.
    So it remains to wish us all strength and patience. Well, of course, you need to work, not paying attention to sanctions and various Schols, macrons, etc.
    The dog barks, but the caravan goes on anyway...

      The last time I paid 70 scars ... it's clear summer, heat, cold water is even more pleasant.
      In winter it will be 20-30 times more, depending on what kind of winter it will be.

    You don't understand: it's just the opposite. Those who survive the cold in winter will envy and therefore hate the Russians: the TV will show that the Russians use heat and hot water (if the Russians have heat and hot water). Thus "warm up" the military mood. Preparations are underway for war.

    One has only to appreciate the speed of the reaction of the Europeans, who in the spring stigmatized everything Russian, and now they are taking to the streets with tricolors.

    The Europeans did not change their reaction in any way. Some Europeans branded Russia then and today, others then and today are against the sanctions and participation in the war. There are those who openly support Russia and rejoice in its victories. But the same is true in Ukraine and Russia itself. Or are there no Russians who are rooting for the victory of the Kyiv regime?
    Especially in conjunction with the calls of other politicians to come to terms with the cooling in apartments to 17-18 degrees. In the most optimistic scenario

    You don't have to be deluded. Some in Europe are mistaken that Russia will die without their euro, and in Russia they think that Europe will freeze without Russian gas. Neither will be. Europe and Russia have lived and will be able to live without each other, and it will even be better for them.
    Europe will return to its energy resources - coal, nuclear power and renewables. Russia will stop pumping its energy resources to Europe and will use and process them at home. Reclaim your technological sovereignty.
    People who are protesting in the Czech Republic, Germany and a number of other European countries are not afraid of cold and hunger, they do not want a war with Russia, they do not want to defend the terrorist regime in Kyiv. You have to understand very well why people are protesting.

    Yes, another "Europe is about to freeze" (it dries up, becomes numb, becomes childless, gets arabized, bogged down, etc.)
    and lots and lots of water.
    About politicians, Ukraine, Z, and so on, why ...

    But in reality, the news about felt boots for 130 bucks in France, where the Euro is, is obvious nonsense.

    In the context of the Northern Military District, the Russians should be concerned about "winter", first of all, with the possibility of the enemy to use this period (autumn - winter) to change the situation in the theater of the Northern Military District in their favor ...

    And such potential opportunities for him (primarily for his curators), alas, are visible ...

    In winter, it becomes not only "colder" in the so-called. "Europe" (don't give a damn about it at all ...), but also "much darker" on the TVD NWO. And it gets dark pretty fast...

    I won’t be surprised if the enemy, using the technological and production capabilities of his curators, uses them to provide himself with a significant advantage over the Russian Armed Forces and allies in terms of the degree of equipping with NV equipment. First of all, - its manpower. In which, alas, he has a multiple superiority over the forces of the NWO in the theater ...

    And then, SHARPLY will transfer the activity of hostilities, incl. and offensive at night. Which will be longer and longer. Which can have rather "unpleasant" consequences for the Russian Armed Forces and allied formations ...

    Therefore, the possibility of counteracting the successful implementation of such a scenario by the enemy should be thought out in advance. And very, very carefully...

    I’m not a “Hurrah patriot”, but the Khoklopiteks still have to hold out until winter. And yes, our NWO began in February, and this, as it were, is also winter. So your opinion is somewhat nonsense.

    Europe doesn't care that it won't be possible to "live well" for one winter. Firstly, Europeans can expect fat salaries at the reviving military-industrial complex enterprises. Secondly, possessing inexhaustible financial reserves due to the fact that financial flows are in their hands, the European authorities will print as much money as they want to help their citizens. The problem of bankruptcy of some enterprises is also not critical. They will pass into other hands and receive as much help as they want.
    The main thing is that the Europeans have found someone to fight for them. They themselves are not yet capable of it. So what? Ukraine is already deploying a million soldiers, and will deploy more. An attack on its infrastructure would have had a devastating effect two months ago. Alas, our authorities, like in 14, once again felt like terribly cunning Byzantines, and completely missed the entire effect of intercepting the enemy attack. Now the destruction of infrastructure will fill the Ukrainian army with hungry and angry conscripts, who will no longer run from the draft, but will willingly go and vent their anger on the Muscovites, who are depriving them of everything.
    The Ukrainian army already has a lot of resources to continue the war, and there will be as many as you like.
    Will Russia ever have a war in which the damage caused by the enemy will be at least comparable to that which is inflicted on us by our own power? And will there still be Russia?
