The West gave permission to use missiles on Russian territory or


Probably, the onset of calendar summer has a relaxing effect on the brain of some people. For some reason, more and more often I come across statements that it is time to go to Odessa and further, it is time to rein in the Balts and Poles, and so on. Is the heat melting the brain?..



Theoretically, I understand everything, the more victories our Army wins, the more belligerent are those who are far from the front and do not plan to go there. There is no whistling or banging above us. But practically... Those tens or hundreds of meters that our guys liberate every day are worth a lot.

I wonder why someone decided that the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are filled with idiots who cannot analyze intelligence data, who are not able to understand where it is most profitable for Russian commanders to move units? Generals, not only retired, but also active ones, often studied in the same academies as ours. So they know our combat regulations very well there too.

Even today, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have in reserve fully combat-ready and trained units and formations, well-prepared and equipped defense lines and strongholds, and enough forces and means to repel attacks of the Russian Army and even launch a counter-offensive in certain areas.

We sometimes laugh at Zelensky’s statements, but they were made on the basis of some data from the Ukrainian military, and not because the “sort of president” wants to stay in shape as an artist-humorist... We are being intensively sent to where it will be difficult, where there will be great losses .

What our soldiers do today and every day is not a task for a day or two. This is a strategic task to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces. How many brigades have already been deployed from the most important cities? And not some newly educated and poorly trained ones. The best brigades of the Ukrainian army! Those who have studied for a long time, including abroad...

In their place come the same “volunteers” caught on the streets. They take positions in those fortified areas that are supposed to protect Odessa or Kyiv. Alas, it will not be possible to quickly create a combat unit from untrained men. They will always be worse than those who were sent to help.

The topic that I want to raise today is directly related to what was said above. The global West also understands the fact that the quality of the Ukrainian army is falling. Everything that is happening now looks more like a “throw our hats in” tactics than some kind of thoughtful strategy. “We can do those who can”... The principle by which the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operates today.

Here's what a US State Department spokesman said about this topic on Friday, May 31, 2024:

"The President recently instructed his team to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons in the Kharkiv region so that Ukraine could respond to Russian forces. The ban on the use of long-range missiles ATACMS or long-range weapons against targets on Russian territory remains in force."

Do whatever you want to kill more Russians


It is clear that despite all the talk that there is discord in the US political elite over the issue of allowing the use of American missiles on Russian territory, there are no confrontations between Democrats and Republicans. Both are in favor of applying. And the media hype is inflated just to find out Russia’s reaction.

The Americans looked rather stupid when two officials, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Pentagon representative Sabrina Singh, almost simultaneously expressed opposing theses. Blinken is for permission, Singh is for a ban. How would you like to understand this? Except for the imitation version, of course.

For me, according to some signs, such a problem does not exist at all. What permission can we talk about if missiles are already in use? On the territory of Russia! The division into the original Russian land and the supposedly occupied territory of another state, in the presence of a clause in our Constitution about these regions being part of Russia, does not look legal. This is Russian territory without reservations.

It is clear that, in addition to testing Moscow's resolve, Washington is also thinking about another problem.

I’m talking about President Putin’s words about Zelensky’s illegitimacy. If Vladimir Putin does not renege on his words, then all Western efforts aimed at freezing the conflict will be in vain.

I think the second goal of the United States was the task of creating for Ukraine the image of an independent state, supposedly making its own decisions. Everyone understands perfectly well that there are actually dolls on Bankova, and Karabas-Barabas sits in the White House. But, using your influence on the Western media, this opinion can be changed.

Zelensky’s unexpected kicks fit perfectly here. Somehow the United States reacted too poorly to criticism of its president. Western politicians responded to criticism in the same way. The dog, which everyone pities, feeds, changes diapers and so on, grabbed the feeding hand... And nothing. The dog is independent, not domesticated, and can do whatever it wants.

And one more thought that arises simply because during the course of the SVO, the author acquired some signs related to the policies of the West in general and the United States in particular. One of these signs is formulated as follows:

“If the craziest idea appears in the heads of Western politicians, if this idea begins to be actively discussed in the Western media, then after some time this idea will be implemented in the very form in which it arose.”

I'll be an oracle for a little while.

If there is talk about strikes against Russia, it means they will happen!

Moreover, I am not sure that the American president has not yet decided on anything on this issue. I think the decision has already been made, but according to the old American tradition, it will be made public exactly when the blow is struck. As has already happened with the supply of some weapons systems. Yesterday they announced deliveries, and today we saw them on LBS.

Some thoughts on the situation


I'm not afraid to be banal, but the situation is really heating up. And it is unknown when this confrontation will end. It can explode at any moment. Moreover, if earlier Moscow and Washington somehow influenced the processes, now this regulation has sharply decreased.

In my opinion, no matter what, as soon as Ukraine receives additional weapons, Zelensky will order a counter-offensive. The issue of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not fundamental for the Ukrainian authorities. It is important to destroy as many Russians as possible. Hence the carnage will be terrible. The losses will be big.

Therefore, the task of destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure remains relevant today. First of all, it is necessary to completely stop rail transportation as the main mode of transportation, ports and, if possible, road crossings. So VKS has a lot of work to do.

Well, the last thing for today.

A week ago I listened to President Putin’s speech regarding permission from the alliance to use weapons on Russian territory. Let me remind you that the thesis about the use of tactical nuclear weapons and the risk of a nuclear war was again voiced there.

Then I thought it was somehow strange. Previously, we left such actions of the West without consequences.

I once wrote that it is not for nothing that Putin has a reputation as a man who does not mince words. Something tells me that this could happen in this case too...

          The United States, represented by Biden, cannot leave Ukraine - it will result in the second defeat after Afghanistan and the loss of face in front of the vassals, who will squeal - “Akela missed!” And they will run to look for a new owner! Therefore, after a get-together in Switzerland, they are going to present Russia with an ultimatum demanding that they stop, with the right to keep everything they have won, but not go further. Plus, the West reserves all of Eastern Europe with Moldova and Georgia and the right to go into Asia and Transcaucasia, but Russia can’t go there! On the other hand, Nabiulina said that the Russian economy is “overheated” and in this she was supported by Gref - the same former Minister of Economy who successfully destroyed this very economy! And today he declares that 84% of the Russian economy is very overloaded! That is, as the hero of Gaidai’s comedy said, “Katz offers to surrender!” And the economic bloc of the government is not against it either! And Academician Aganbegyan said that expenses for the SVO have already exceeded 40% of the budget! And Putin himself said that Russia’s expenses were close to those of the USSR! So the Kremlin has a fork, and we wait. Everything will be decided after June 16. Or maybe earlier - on June 6, Macaron promised to send troops to Ukraine.

                Nothing. These are no longer Russians. Or let’s turn on the “act of good will” again - Gorbachev’s syndrome, like a dislocation of the brain. This has already happened more than once. Have you often observed Acts of Goodwill from our enemy? (partner). I don't remember something like that. There is a war going on to destroy the population of Ukraine, and if you’re lucky, then Russia, the destruction of Ukrainian cities to the roots, and NATO is simply attacking us on the population living in these territories, since they are classified as future competitors in post-war life.

And behind it, the country will be torn to pieces by external players, from China to Finland. Because there will be no army and there will be no one to defend the country. But what will happen in such anarchy with nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants - God knows, but the situation will be absolutely unpredictable.

In Germany during the Second World War, were there elections for the chancellor? No. There was a leader, the Fuhrer. The same goes for the VNA and in general , the articles of this Mr. Staver, aimed at ultra-patriots (who are a minority, both in VO and in the country) cause the opposite effect - people see that they are being blatantly fooled and there is no more trust.

    listened to President Putin’s speech regarding permission from the alliance to use weapons on Russian territory. Let me remind you that the thesis about the use of tactical nuclear weapons and the risk of a nuclear war was again voiced there.

    “Well, these representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries, they must be aware of what they are playing with (...) These are serious things, and we are watching this very carefully,” said Russian leader.
    According to Putin, NATO countries, before talking about strikes deep into Russian territory, should remember that members of the alliance, as a rule, are states with a small territory and a very dense population."
    https://lenta.ru/news/2024/05/28/putin-predlozhil-nato-podumat-s-chem-oni-igrayut-na-prizyvy-ob-udarah-po-rossii/

    Firstly, Vladimir Vladimirovich did not even mention tactical nuclear weapons.

    Secondly, Vladimir Vladimirovich clearly said: “zWestern countries “deliberately omitted the words” of the head of state that the option of using tactical nuclear weapons “never occurred to me", despite different scenarios on the battlefield.... the journalist asked the president whether Russia is really ready for a nuclear war. “From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready. They [nuclear missiles] are constantly in a state of combat readiness,” Putin replied. He also declared there was no need to use tactical nuclear weapons in the conflict in Ukraine." https://www.rbc.ru/politics/14/03/2024/65f2c9029a794700a0c823d9

They say, the partners assured that if Yanukovych stopped right now, then everything would be fine and Yanukovych would not be overthrown! And how could one not believe Yanukovych, the one who does not throw words to the wind?

        And then, when Yanukovych was meanly overthrown, our hapless fellow uttered an amazing phrase about the overthrown one. Like, someone's Monomakh's Cap is too heavy! Like, this one is to blame for everything.

The enemy is strong, cunning, motivated and not broken, despite our advantage in mobile reserves and military-industrial complex volumes... Where does this mischief come from?

    Spring has passed, we can sum up the results of the spring campaign. In order not to look smarter than I actually am, I will give my forecast for it: “Now the forecast, in general, nothing will change, in the spring we will maintain the initiative, finally reach the Seversky Donets canal near Artemovsk, liberate Novomikhailovka, Pervomaiskoe and several more villages near Donetsk, another 10 -15 km we will push the enemy back near Avdeevka. Ideally, we will liberate Krasnogorovka and in the north we will reach the Zherebets River and in some places to the Oskol River."
    In general, for once we managed to guess almost everything, the ideal with Krasnogorovka and Oskol did not come true and we failed to completely reach the canal near Artemovsk (although we managed to do this in two places). The enemy predictably increased the number of UAV attacks by the summer and began to solve their problems with shells. In addition, ours began an offensive in the Kharkov direction. The idea is generally understandable and not without foundation (although controversial). The beginning of the offensive was not bad, but now it is clear that ours are stuck. If the plan was to stretch the enemy's reserves, then it was a success, but other than that there are no successes.
    From a strategic point of view, one important event happened: they finally stopped recognizing Zelensky. But in an extremely strange scenario, logically this should be accompanied by a refusal to negotiate with his government, the announcement of a new government in Ukraine and a change in the goals of the war. For us, this was accompanied by a new series of conversations about negotiations, and Zelensky’s people were declared the legitimate government.
    This completely makes no sense in refusing to recognize Zelensky, which in this case simply becomes PR. In the absence of their own ideas, the leadership of the Russian Federation is increasingly tense about the conference in Switzerland. In addition, the enemy began to strike at nuclear deterrence facilities (without any response) and the enemy was allowed to strike at the “old” territory of the Russian Federation. That is, in general, the situation continues for us getting steadily worse.

    Yes, and the forecast for the summer is that in the first half we will retain some initiative, in the second there will be what is called a battle for initiative. Ours will liberate Krasnogorovka, go to the Marinka-Ugledar highway, finally go to the Seversky Donets canal and start fighting for Chasov Yar itself (but will not liberate it), at Avdeevka they will go to the border of the Karlovsky reservoir. I don’t believe in the success of the Kharkov operation; ideally, we would simply hold on to our current lines. In the second half of the summer, the enemy will try to launch another counterattack (more to show that he can do this than with some distant operational goals). Well, all summer they will methodically destroy our rear with Western weapons.
    In strategic terms, I no longer believe that the Russian leadership is capable of making any meaningful moves; they will simply wait until the enemy gets tired and hope for a miracle in the form of negotiations. The West will hold its conference without much success, but they will fulfill the main goal of imposing their agenda.

    From the article - “....a thesis was voiced about the use of tactical nuclear weapons and the risk of a nuclear war....” And if we assume that the goal of the West (the USA and, to a greater extent, Britain) in the Northeast Military District is to organize a “small” nuclear war on the territory of Europe with using tactical nuclear weapons?, then everything falls into place. I will say more, Ukraine itself can tear down its nuclear power plants, blaming Russia for this - “having knocked out the entire energy sector of Ukraine, Russia created the preconditions for an “accident” at Ukrainian nuclear power plants.” Nuclear power plants cannot operate without receiving energy from outside.

    I wonder why someone decided that the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are filled with idiots who cannot analyze intelligence data, who are not able to understand where it is most profitable for Russian commanders to move units?

    They sit in these headquarters and carry out operations in the style of Verdun only because there are traitors at the top who do not allow our army to really fight. Our policy (or rather, politicking) has led the situation to a dead end, from which the partners of our top leaders leave us only a way out back and further into the abyss.
    The Supreme Commander needs to muster courage and take the country out of the external control of the IMF. After this, it will be possible to take any steps, including for the successful completion of the operation in Ukraine.

      What is your idea of ​​“fighting for real”? I will say this - I don’t really understand what the giveaway is on our part (well, besides the general mobilization of the economy and population + vigorous loaf, but both will kill the lagging economy and possibly the current government), but NATO is “really” still real didn’t start... and I’m not even talking about equipment at storage bases (I won’t even remember here the number of M60 tanks, M113, F16 armored personnel carriers, etc. at bases in the USA) or sending troops, I’m talking about the “rules” of using the supplied stuff... until recently even during the Kharkov offensive, our forces could concentrate, supply and prepare on “our territories until 2014” with virtually no particular fear, simply because “they are in the house”, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could shoot “low”, the weapons were imported with corresponding prohibitions. Patriots, of course, will now rush to “downvote” my comment, but I propose to remember how the use of “patriots” against airplanes on our territory last summer ended; for those who forgot, let me remind you - we lost up to 5 aircraft in a day (2 airplanes, 3 helicopters, exactly up to 5, maybe I don’t even remember which of this was officially confirmed), but Germany, as the supplier of those same air defense systems, said “fie”, saying “if that’s the case, we won’t give any more” and the strikes ended...

        You present it chaotically.
        All these “in the house”, kill the remnants of the economy, they didn’t start...
        This is all journalism and has nothing to do with the matter. The “operation” should be designed to quickly defeat the enemy, so that there would be no one to supply equipment from storage. The time factor is decisive here. And we give the enemy a head start and allow us to prepare a full-scale war in Europe. As a result, the situation boils down to the following:
        Russia's victory is ensured by the non-proliferation of the war beyond Ukraine. To do this, it is necessary to carry out a full-fledged mobilization to ensure the number of occupation troops and logistics, as well as, using the entire available arsenal, to immobilize the enemy, destroy his air defense system and ensure the advancement of strike units, as well as the landing of air and seaborne assault forces. In short, a full-scale war on a local theater of operations.
        NATO’s victory lies in moderating the military defense system with the aim of pinning down the main forces and conventional means of warfare in the Ukrainian theater of war, as well as delaying mobilization as much as possible. At the same time, systematic preparations are underway for a full-scale war in Europe from the Barents to the Black Sea. In this case, a nuclear response is either excluded by betrayal of the elites, or by a preemptive strike. Russia will not be able to fight such a war in its current state.
        The fact that in 2014 the compromisers thwarted the final solution to the Ukrainian problem is not at all a coincidence of circumstances or considerations of higher politics, but a product of a systemic betrayal of Russia’s interests in the highest circles. The result is that Russia approached the fatal point then and in the state as planned by the Hegemon.

          It looks chaotic for a number of reasons:
          1. It is not possible to describe each thesis in the comments, and I don’t want to write an article - most likely they won’t publish it, and even if they publish it, the topic is not popular in our public space, and I don’t want to feed the trolls and “yay”
          2. I express my personal opinion, pointing only to facts and analogies, and then whoever wants to do so will find more information on these facts and carry out “interpolation”
          3. I read VO and write comments usually during my lunch break at work, there’s not much time, so there are typos and funny substitution of words with “auto-correct”))

          Regarding your essay on the preparation and conduct of the “Operation” - for all this, “Laos” had every chance and opportunity, and in the media space of the first days everything looked exactly like this, in a matter of hours “Uganda” lost the Navy, Air Force, Air Defense and a bunch of regional centers , but when the dust settled, it turned out that “Uganda” was not so bad, it’s just that the residents, and more importantly the leadership, “Laos” over the last 8 years have convinced themselves that “Uganda” by all indicators is about in Africa, but it turned out that not very far from “Laos”... Now it’s too late to plan anything there, there is a conflict of attrition, we have what we have and we can’t change it

          Regarding “in the house” - for the sake of interest, look how much information on the Khimars strikes appeared on the network after the start of new deliveries... A huge variety, in some cases up to 20 strikes per day (strikes, not missiles) and among them targets “at home” there was no territory of Laos... and we know well what these missiles are capable of when attacking “relaxed” logistics from the summer of 2022, when the first installations just arrived...

          Regarding the "killing of the economy" - as the experience of the last mobilization showed, for every one called up there are 3-5 who left, in total the economy loses 4-6 workers, and not just anyone left, but highly sought-after specialists... I know from my work - in our time, if a person at least in theory knows what the work he does and the result should look like, he is no longer a bad specialist, there is a terrible hunger in the labor market... if you want, look for yourself at the number of vacancies in the XNUMXth century.

          Regarding supplies, the United States (and NATO as a whole) were also preparing for World War 3, the reserves there were no less than ours, and the quality was no worse than ours (now the minuses will fly at me, but the USSR military service at best was at the Western level, at best ... If there was superiority in something, then the opponent solved the same problems using a different method)... Over the past 30 years, the West not only did not lose these reserves, but also periodically modernized them (while they were in service)... And perhaps most importantly, these reserves now have only book value; almost no new investments will be required

        To fight for real is
        - break bridges before carrying out, for example, an assault on Volchansk
        - fight against enemy logistics
        - planning coordinated strikes
        - hunting for enemy generals and other mayors-ministers (zero enemy generals died during our time)
        - shocks to 700 kV transformers
        - operations to rescue our prisoners
        - support for partisan warfare in enemy territory
        - propaganda for residents of Ukraine from our territory and broadcasting their television studios live

          Beautifully and truly written. I will only add that we should set reasonable, understandable goals for the war and create the necessary legal cover.
          After all, this is elementary and has been done dozens of times (including by the USSR).
          1) Declare the government an enemy
          dictatorial, communist, capitalist, etc. (cross out as necessary). In a word, it does not represent the interests of the people. Moreover, with the Maidan government of Ukraine, this is indeed the case in reality.
          2) You find a group of people that you declare to represent the interests of the people, a group of rebels, a government in exile, a leader in exile, etc.
          3) You start a war not against this country and its people, but for her. For her freedom, bright communist, democratic ideals (underline as appropriate).
          4) You fight against the regime, liquidate it and put your people, friends, etc. All questions about connections and disconnections can be resolved only after this.
          Amazing people in the leadership of the Russian Federation, as if in mockery, did the opposite. As a result, they received the stigma of aggressors and “imperialists” (in the context of the desire to annex foreign territories).

    The division into the original Russian land and the supposedly occupied territory of another state, in the presence of a clause in our Constitution about these regions being part of Russia, does not look legal. This is Russian territory without reservations.

    It depends on who. For the West, this is the territory of Ukraine.
    And the Russian elite itself allows attacks on these territories. Because there is nowhere to go - there is a war going on in these territories
    And nuclear war is inevitable. Since the West has begun to discuss when the West has the right to launch a nuclear strike on Russia, it means the decision has been made.

    Thank you, I laughed heartily...
    I am against prolonging the retirement age. And while I am president, no such decision will be made. In general, I believe that we do not need to extend the retirement period.

    According to journalists, Putin promised not to change the Constitution at least three times. In 2004, he spoke about the main document of the Russian Federation during a meeting with proxies. The transcript was published on the Kremlin website.
    “As soon as we start to rule the Constitution, this is already the path to some kind of unstable situation. Once you start, you won’t be able to stop. Therefore, it is better not to touch the basic law of the state and work within the framework that those people who worked on this law, laid," said the national leader.
    Vladimir Putin was asked about possible changes to the Constitution in 2005 during an interview with the American television channel Fox News.
    “I believe that the most important element in strengthening Russian statehood today is stability. Stability in the country and in society cannot be ensured in any way other than the stability of legislation and the main law of the country - the Constitution. Therefore, under no circumstances am I changing the Constitution I don’t intend to,” he replied.

    The issue of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not fundamental for the Ukrainian authorities. It is important to destroy as many Russians as possible. Hence the carnage will be terrible. The losses will be big.

    Then again there will be a retreat from legitimate Russian territories, the announcement of a second wave of mobilization, clearing out the next mess associated with this process, military coordination? And a year of war in the ass. And 1:10 (yep, of which 20000 are Wagnerians) with a minimum of half a million on the other side, to be written off. Or, according to TV and VO, do we have queues at military registration and enlistment offices to conclude contracts? No, well, maybe in Moscow...

    Our leadership is at a dead end. No one could have predicted that the Northern Military District would turn into a meat grinder beyond the eastern edge of the Kozyulki ravine... No one expected that the collective West would easily jump over all the red lines and not even notice them. So the “legitimate” one sits and probably thinks about how to get back to February 23, 2022.

    In the third year of the war (NWO), you won’t be surprised that the supply of modern weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will increase! While things are not going well for us (the liberation of trenches and dugouts), supplies of modern weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to be supplied!

    The West will end up like the Roman Empire. By the way, there are a lot of analogies. The Roman army and technology of war were invincible on the battlefield, Roman civilization dominated most of the world civilization. But the end came from where we didn’t expect it. It was when the Romans became pampered, mired in perversion, luxury and money, that hordes of peoples who were poor, simple and rude came from the east. They didn’t read Aristotle, didn’t play around with boys, lived in yurts, went to the toilet behind a bush. But for that with a healthy moral and volitional core! And then no legions helped Rome, because by that time half of the legionnaires were Huns, Dacians, etc., etc.

    Those tens or hundreds of meters that our guys liberate every day are worth a lot.
    We are being intensively sent to places where it will be difficult, where there will be great losses.

    Well, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not so bad that they can defend themselves poorly. This is shown by the front line (SBU), which has been practically constant for 2023-24, with the exception of Donbass, where through fierce battles and apparently large losses they have liberated a small part of the region. And what next? Will we continue to lose our guys? After all, our guys advancing into stone cities are losing many, if not more, than the Ukrainian Armed Forces. With such losses, there will clearly not be enough volunteers. Well, summer will show. If it doesn't show, then things are bad and there is no hope other than for tactical nuclear weapons.

    Not an article, but a vinaigrette.
    Then I thought it was somehow strange. Previously, we left such actions of the West without consequences.

    Now what? What consequences? Another bullshit about the Chinese TNAO?

    “Generals, not only retired, but also active ones, often studied in the same academies as ours. So they know our combat regulations very well.” -
    Hmm, after these words, the article can be scrapped. The author probably meant Shoigu himself and some generals and “generals” who were recently dismissed from the army? And how many more such “commanders” can you pick up, quietly sitting in their places, without showing up in public. This is not something to boast about or be proud of. And how many punctures does the Supreme One have, who is often deceived like a little boy? It is not at all fitting for him to be deceived, having such a staff of analysts and advisers, because behind these decisions there are often sacrifices made earlier to achieve the existing results.

    after a get-together in Switzerland, they are going to present an ultimatum to Russia demanding that they stop, with the right to keep everything they have won, but not to go further. Plus, the West reserves all of Eastern Europe with Moldova and Georgia and the right to go into Asia and Transcaucasia, but Russia can’t go there!
    And if Russia refuses, then what?

    Then they will declare a total embargo on everything. They will train us, and then they will do something particularly nasty on our outskirts, for example, nuclear sabotage. I think we need to be fully prepared for this. Where the ears of the British stick out - and on our outskirts it is no longer ears, but all their mugs are visible, where the British are, there we must wait for any of their most monstrous undertakings.
