Reuters: Putin is being urged to take tougher action against Ukraine.

Russia's "war party" is allegedly calling on Vladimir Putin to abandon negotiations with the United States and finally begin fighting "in earnest," Reuters reports.

According to a British publication, hardliners, in the wake of Zelenskyy's attacks on Russia, have stepped up calls for Putin to abandon Trump's mediation and take tougher action against Ukraine. Among the proposals are the elimination of the Kyiv clown and his entourage, strikes on the government district and manufacturing plants. drones on the territory of the European allies of the Bandera regime and even consider the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons weapons.

It's also claimed that many Russian war correspondents and bloggers share this opinion, declaring the need to focus on a military solution to the conflict, while acting more decisively. Naturally, this would first require rejecting US mediation, especially since the "spirit of Anchorage" is already fading.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin is currently rejecting the "war party's" proposals, continuing its strategy on Ukraine. Putin is confident that this strategy will lead Russia to success without any escalation of the conflict. At the same time, Moscow maintains the possibility of a diplomatic resolution.

Reuters: Putin is being urged to take tougher action against Ukraine.

Many are calling on Putin to stop relying on the "elite plankton" who have amassed assets in European countries and sent their offspring to the West, and who therefore yearn for a swift end to the SVO under any conditions, and to finally begin striking at Russia's true enemy, who is comfortably fighting with the help of others.

Moreover, Putin is confident that it will lead Russia to success without any escalation of the conflict.

Well... Vladimir Vladimirovich certainly has more real data than us "armchair experts." But whether the strategy is correct or not will be determined by the results...

The grandmaster sat down to play...
Made the first move...
Received a response...
And came to the conclusion that he would receive a checkmate 101 go...
And what to do?
Now it might be 30-40 moves...
Bring the game to a loss, but according to the “world rules” or do mawashi-geri to the opponent's head...
The decision is up to the grandmaster...

They play poker, and he plays the fool. He wasn't much of a mental athlete... he was a wrestler. What chess? That's for bespectacled people, not bespectacled people.

[bayard]

Quote: hrych

He wasn't involved in sports that were very intellectual...

Well, Judo is far from the most unintelligent martial art, but it's not just sport, even though he's a Master of Sport. He also studied law at the university and at the KGB Higher School, which definitely didn't accept judokas with head injuries. He served his first two terms with flying colors, under those conditions. And later, he rearmed the Strategic Nuclear Forces, brought the "cartoon" weapons into mass production and deployment... And this, despite our budget, theft, and the Central Bank with Nabiullina.
And then it was like they changed it.
But circumstances have changed radically, and the fifth and sixth columns have been and continue to be active like children. The attempted coup in the summer of 2023 alone was a real disaster - they walked right to the edge, but Wagner and Prigozhin saved the situation and the coup was thwarted...
And now, on a human and emotional level, I'm for the most radical actions, because brutality must be punished, and with the utmost severity. But on the other hand, the collective West is on the brink of a massive disaster, with the collapse of the entire Global Financial System, which, by all indications, is just two or three months away and will be far more terrifying for them and many others than the Great Depression. And they're once again trying to escape or slip through a World War. They escaped the Depression through WWII, and now they want to do it through WWI, and they want Russia to be the one to start it. We've already exposed ourselves with such a careless start to the Great War, and if we now fall into a new trap... And it's obvious.
If we act like the Persians, we'll calmly, coolly, and methodically begin to destroy all the military factories in Europe supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces... simply by striking all their defense plants in England, Germany, France, and Italy. To their screams, accusations, and threats, we'll shout, "We haven't even started yet, but we'll definitely continue!" And continue! And what will they do? Rush us head-on? Well, welcome to the Apocalypse today, because tomorrow is already here. And if they don't, we'll continue anyway, destroying their military and civilian infrastructure, declaring that these are RESPONSE ACTIONS that will continue until complete satisfaction. And you know... the Sumerians will immediately have fewer attack UAVs—the factories will go up in smoke and ashes. The Ukrainian Armed Forces no longer have a reliable, untouchable rear. And everything would be fine, and with a 70-80% probability, that would be the case, but... this could unite them. A common threat always unites. Do we need that?
It was a soft, gentle and extremely affectionate option, but they will definitely unite, and even take advantage of the opportunity, because they need the war, or rather their (the West’s) masters, the bankers, need it.
The toughest, fastest, and most effective option is based on the precepts of the St. Petersburg (and other) streets. Is a fight inevitable? Strike first and be sure, with a finishing blow to the head. This is the simplest and most correct option, and in our case, almost/practically a surefire win—we have something, something sufficient, something that cannot be repelled, it is guaranteed to eliminate all threats from Europe, and the US will be under the watchful and very stern gaze of our strategic nuclear forces, which will not participate at all in the execution of the enraged Europeans. They will LOOK at the US and telepathically tell them, "DON'T EVEN THINK OF IT." It will certainly be noisy and dusty, but at the same time, bright and fiery. But the question is WHEN... that's up to our decision-makers.
While the decision is being made, we can pervert the spirit of Anchorage and have some fun. UAVs and cruise missiles in our cities, factories, and oil refineries are, of course, extremely unpleasant... but they're like those hares throwing their excrement at the Bear. It's unpleasant for the Bear, and it's fun for the hares (look at them, they're high on weed). But that's while the Bear is sitting on his stump. And when he skins them and decides on some for dinner, he'll be having fun. This isn't chess or walking a horse. The Bear will decide for himself when to grab the hares by the ears and skin them for dinner. And "his" fifth and sixth columns should get ready for dinner. They are hares too, after all. And they also throw excrement at the master of the taiga.
Meanwhile, the Sarmat has finally flown and is being deployed/put on duty. Heavy IRBMs for Zayachaya Polyanka (Euro-standard MRBMs) are also being deployed. There will be around 120 Su-57s by the end of this year. A fair number of Tsirkons have already been riveted for the Navy, for the air defense missile system, and for the ground-based TPUs, and have been thoroughly tested in combat. New formations have been deployed and combat coordination has been completed. Hangars and casemates are being built for Long-Range Aviation (otherwise, you can't fend off attack drones with tires and nets). Satellite constellations are finally being deployed, and without them, it's impossible. And all this while the hares, completely overjoyed, have completely lost their bearings. Meanwhile, the water in the Bear's cauldron is boiling... so it's time.
And it won’t matter if it’s Macron or Nabiullina who’s in the cauldron.
It was getting dark.

[Boris Sergeev]

Well, well, "the tsar is good, but the boyars are bad."

"What about the Kursk submarine?

-She drowned."

And how could she not drown if she had previously agreed with Clinton to join NATO?

[bayard]

There is no king - only a hired manager. And that's just the way it is. There will be elections - vote. I simply stated the facts, and I'm certainly not campaigning for anyone.

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Before this, he asked to join NATO.

Stalin even asked to join NATO: "Since you have such a wonderful alliance for peace and security, the USSR is ready to join." Do you think he did this to actually join? Or so that the US and NATO, by refusing, would make it clear AGAINST WHO the alliance was created? Perhaps the "coordinated with Clinton" alliance had the same goal? Or perhaps it didn't. After all, NATO openly stated that if Russia joined, it would destroy it from within and block all its work.
Well, yes, "she sank." And "Memphis" really did throw out an emergency buoy and was repaired after that incident. But there is still no complete clarity. Some say that the American submarine attacked the "Kursk", others - that it got into the trajectory of the Russian missile-torpedo, which was then demonstrated to the Chinese delegation, and that it ricocheted off the "Memphis" and hit the "Kursk" in the side. This version was mentioned to me and some representatives of the Federation Council soon after the events. At that time, an attack by the Americans seemed more realistic to me, now I think a little differently. But no one gave a clear answer. In any case, it was the American submarine that was the cause of the disaster. Apparently admitting his guilt in this, the head of the CIA unofficially visited Moscow to smooth over the incident, and then, just as quietly and secretly, the IMF wrote off 5 billion dollars of Russia's debt.

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Well, well, "the tsar is good, but the boyars are bad."

The Tsar is always responsible for the boyars. Even if he is a hired manager, and the vertical, the Central Bank, the oligarchs, piss off the people and engage in sabotage.

[Boris Sergeev]

That's why Kursk was cut into pieces, so that no one would ever know what happened there. And writing off the IMF debt for the deaths of Russian servicemen is so-so compensation. Do the relatives of the victims know how much their loved ones were valued?

[bayard]

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Do the relatives of the deceased know how much their relatives were valued at?

Well, the only alternative would have been to start a nuclear war, or at least escalate with the US. For us back then, it was certainly nothing like it is now. And the grief of the families of the dead sailors can't be undone by any compensation.
The son of my father's friend died on the Kursk. His father didn't live even a year after his son's death.

[Boris Sergeev]

So, abstractly: military personnel take an oath to the Motherland, and then it turns out they died for the IMF debt write-off. How's that for you? Incidentally, Putin also took an oath.

[bayard]

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Putin also took the oath.

Yes, he served in the army, I think in the artillery. That's when he took the oath.

Quote: Boris Sergeev

then it turns out that they died for writing off the IMF debt.

No, they offered Putin a partial debt write-off to cover up the incident. The money was simply financial compensation. Or do you think this is how they made money by writing off debts?
I remember how and when it was—a turning point in post-Soviet history—Yeltsin was gone, a new one had arrived, Russia was taking energetic steps to rid itself of its debt bondage to the IMF, the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church was held in Moscow, where the new martyrs of Russia were glorified along with the family of the last Romanovs. The glorification itself took place in the newly built Cathedral of Christ the Savior... And then, on the very eve, as this council was about to begin, the Kursk incident occurred, and search and rescue efforts began. There was hope that there were survivors on board and they could be rescued. The loss of a powerful submarine under such conditions could have been perceived as an attack on a nuclear power... So the head of the CIA rushed to Moscow on a secret visit to apologize and try to hush up the situation, including through monetary compensation.
By 2005, all of Russia's debts to the IMF had been fully repaid, and economic growth had begun. Remember how the economy grew under Gerashchenko? 7-10% a year! And public sector salaries were even faster – several times faster. This growth continued until 2015. Then came "Crimea is ours," Nabiullina's punitive measures, the collapse of the ruble, and... economic stagnation. The economy only began to grow again with the onset of the Second World War, which lasted for a year and a half. Then came Nabiullina's three-move plan, more stagnation, and now a full-blown recession.
reason?
The presence of a branch of the IMF in Russia - the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Vladimirovich has no real data

I don’t know what’s going on with Vladimir Vladimirovich, but life for the Russian peasant is getting worse every day.
It's time to fire. With regular ammunition, but where it's needed, not at the barn.

[Vasily))]

As a Russian man, I don't think my life is getting any worse. Everything is fine, we can endure the inconveniences of gasoline, and we can endure much greater inconveniences, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Do what you think is necessary, and the people will endure anything; they've been through worse. In fact, right now, this is a very minor inconvenience. I'm happy just to live in Russia! Everything else is trivial. I speak the great and mighty language with my country, with my people, and I have access to the entire layer of Russian culture—what a treasure it is. People, think about this, and you will understand what a tremendous treasure it is.

[ARIONkrsk]

Quote: alex-defensor

Well... Vladimir Vladimirovich certainly has more real data than us "armchair experts." But whether the strategy is correct or not will be determined by the results...

It's not a fact, knowing our officials, at every level there is a degree of embellishment of the situation and, as a result, the "guarantor" receives embellished reports.

[ABC-schutze]

"...and finally begin to strike at Russia's true enemy, who comfortably fights with the help of others...."
************************************************** **********************
Moreover, if the "guarantor" is so hard-pressed after the failed "Istanbul" to suppress his own song (and he, with his usual "sky-high" rating and status, according to Simonyan, is "the smartest" of "us"), to ease his suffering and bruises, it would be entirely possible to begin "attacking" the interests of the Bankova Square circus performer's masters not with Russia itself (for starters), but with Russian "proxies." For example, Burkina Faso (and its patriotic military government, which TODAY severed ALL diplomatic relations with France), which has excellent relations with Russia, could very well anonymously "acquire" its own BEKs. And begin sinking ships (tankers, gas carriers, container ships, etc.) that provide transportation services to Russia's enemies. Say, in the Gibraltar zone and the African continent. Incidentally, the Yemeni Houthis, who have acquired BECs, could do the same thing, "who knows how?" Only from the "other side" of the African continent...

Unfortunately, the "guarantor" does ultimately make the right decisions. The only problem is that he does so with considerable (to the point of being unacceptable) delay. At a time when Russia's enemies are practically "backing" Russia into a corner. And all the while, the country's citizens suffer, and its economy and interests in stable, long-term development suffer...

[Radik Mukharyamov]

In order for the Houthis and others to acquire BEKs, a factory is needed that would stamp out these BEKs but without the Made in Russia marking.

[ABC-schutze]

Are you asking me to share my many years of practical experience in this fascinating field? I'll refrain for now, merely noting that there are ABSOLUTELY NO problems (at least not technical ones) in this matter. The only real problems are in political decision-making at the "appropriate" level. And they have nothing to do with "building a separate factory." Incidentally, supplying such BECs to potential Houthis and the guys from Burkina Faso doesn't require "new factories." What's needed is simply "relabeling" the components that make up the BECs... Or, rather, removing them entirely... Which is easily accomplished. Moreover, it wouldn't in any way hinder the combat use of these platforms by a "friendly" Russia side.

[Sedov]

With such composure and composure, we'll soon return to '93. Gas is already rationed, and the Nobel Peace Prize guarantor is toiling for his patience.

[Alexander Odintsov]

The Supreme Commander doesn't know what to do. Society is in favor of a normal war, but his hands are tied; he can't do anything. The system is rotten to the core. What else could happen if our officials and oligarchs have money and real estate stuck abroad? After all, from the very beginning, they were focused on creating nests abroad. And now a critical moment is coming, and we all understand that the Kremlin is completely paralyzed; it can't respond when the whole country is waiting for an answer.

[Totor5]

In other words, everyone to the polls! But the choice is between an enema and a shit sandwich. The Communist Party and Uncle Zyu, at least in theory, are proposing to skin the oligarchs, although there are plenty of oligarchs among them too. There is a choice, but no choice. Vote or not, you'll get what you get anyway... Hmmm... Elections, elections, candidates... Hmmm.

Once upon a time, a brave corporal (an artist at heart) severed all these connections, debts, and hopes of the nouveau riche in power in a single night of long knives.

Society advocates for a normal war

With what ease, however, you speak for Society.
Did the Society share this with you?
No. This is just your humble IMHO.
Well, OK.
Since we're on the topic of "speaking for Society," I'll also state my IMHO "for Society."
The society advocated a small and very victorious war.
And that is exactly how the SVO media presented it.
And not for anything else.
But the blitzkrieg failed and we ended up with a “normal war”.
A "normal war" is mobilization, casualties, wounded, raids on cities, invasion of our territory, even armed rebellion (the Commander-in-Chief's wording). A burning desire to use nuclear weapons from the most determined, the prospect of war for another twenty years (as MGIMO professor and SVR Colonel Andrei Bezrukov stated at the SPIEF), and so on and so forth.
Does society really favor a "normal war"?
Your reaction is that hostile forces are blowing and not giving their full force, we would have...
In short, it's the same old crap.
But no.
We fight as best we can, that’s why we have a “normal war.”
It does not seem that Society wants or advocates this.

[Andrey Victorovich]

You're distorting the truth. Society isn't advocating for a total war, or as you call it, a "normal war," but for a just and adequate one. Or do you consider the suicide of Slavs by their own hands a "normal war"? Do you consider it "normal" when all the might and technology of the West is trying to destroy us, while we don't have a single adequate ally (except, perhaps, South Korea). All our "allies" are trying to fleece us blind, instead of providing all the assistance they can. Society wants justice. Justice in everything. As in the famous Metallica song, "And Justice for All."

[2 Level Advisor]

Quote: Andrey Victorovich

Do you think it's "normal" when all the power and technology of the West is trying to destroy us?

in fairness, basic Some of the weapons transferred to Kiev are old stuff, even the F-16s in their early 90s configuration, not to mention the decommissioned Leo...

Quote: Andrey Victorovich

Society does not advocate for a total war, or as you put it, a “normal war,” but for a just and adequate one.

Are you talking about nuclear weapons? Well, I'll agree with the previous commentator—I'm also against their use, so I shouldn't speak for the whole of society. Not everyone wants the use of nuclear weapons and nuclear war. I think even a clear minority...

[ABC-schutze]

Excuse me, but I strongly disagree with you...

The head of state (also known as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Russia) is elected by universal vote and serves as the "guarantor" for the duration of his term of office. Incidentally, he, according to the Constitution and the Law, determines the country's policy in all spheres of activity...

So, now, after his election by the Russian people, it's too late to "drink Borjomi" and talk about his organizational "weaknesses" in the face of the interests of some "oligarchs"... The Constitution doesn't mention them a word. And he, I repeat, is the GUARANTOR... And let me remind you once again that HE PUBLICLY, during his FIRST inauguration as President, gathered all these "oligarchs" in front of the cameras and declared them "EQUIVALENT" from power. And those who "didn't heed" went off to explore the beauty of Siberia (Khodorkovsky) or fled Russia (Birch and Goose)... Has something changed? Has he raised some "new" ones?

He condescended to give some "profound explanations" to Zarubin. But the Russians never doubted that the Russian Armed Forces were constantly putting pressure on the LBS, the Banderas—the Nazis. And they will continue to do so...

For Russians, something else is incomprehensible to the point of being unacceptable. Specifically, why, after the explosion of the SP, until now, in the FIFTH YEAR of the NBC, has NOT A SINGLE Western strategic underwater pipeline been damaged?.. Gas pipelines, telecommunications cables, etc., of which there are literally "heaps" in various waters?.. And which are quite possible to "bring down" without any "demonstration of the Flag" of the Russian Navy?.. And quite "under a false flag" of unknown actors?.. Why has NOT A SINGLE of their tankers, dry cargo ships, gas carriers, in the OCEAN or FAR sea zone been sent to the bottom?.. "Unknown" BEKs?.. And if some "disposal" is carried out, is it only in the coastal zone of the Black Sea waters?.. What, has some kind of "indulgence" been written out for the Westerners for other waters?.. So, for TIMELY FAILURE TO ACCEPT HE, the "guarantor," is the one responsible for such decisions. Because only HE has the proper authority under the law...

It would be necessary to voice what domestic information sources are calling for, so as not to fall victim to the information wars of our enemies.

If you listen to Solovyov and Skabeeva, you could fall victim right away. The guarantor probably watches them all the time, too, and that's why he thinks everything's fine here. But we should "go to the people."

It depends on what you mean by "survivable." Think back to 2022. And the dollar was at 120 rubles. The bank told me, "We don't have any dollars, we can close the deposit and issue it in rubles at a rate of 117 rubles." There was no other way. I expected the dollar to be at 200 by January 2023. And then something went wrong. Completely wrong. What's the point? The economy will survive without a problem, since the printing press hasn't even been turned on yet. What will happen to social services due to the shelling? Donbas endured for eight years, or do you think our people are weaker?

Well, it's clear about the war correspondents and bloggers; their opinions have long been publicly available. But who are these people, this "War Party," and where did they pull this information from? And, moreover, how do we know that Vladimir Putin rejected these ideas and decided differently?

So these are war correspondents and bloggers, our journalists didn't specify that this wasn't about some Belousov

It's time to get started. We need mobilization, we need help from allies. Nuclear strikes on western Ukraine can be held back as a last resort.
A strike from Belarus along the Ukrainian-Polish border is needed to cut off all supply lines. A landing in Odessa is needed to cut off southern supply lines.

needed... it would be ideal... and how will we protect ourselves from UAVs on the route?

[creep: b]

Only a comprehensive defense against UAVs is possible. If the number of attacking troops exceeds the number of defenders by 10 times or more, no amount of drones or supplies will suffice. If air forces risk and suffer losses by bombing everything that moves and everything buried properly rather than from afar. If 10 Geraniums are launched simultaneously, if attacks are launched simultaneously on all fronts. If the attackers are provided with all the necessary electronic warfare and jammers. If the airborne forces can fulfill their intended function—again, it's clear that with the losses of the Il-76 transport aircraft, the navy will leave ports and risk taking control of the entire Black Sea. And if they also conduct an operation to at least temporarily disable or damage the Starlink network. The mobilization of several million people will already drive Ukraine and Europe into a stupor and panic. If the troops of the DPRK, CSTO, and China come to our aid in this war, even in a secondary role, to consolidate and supply.
Then all of this at once will bring victory and the capitulation of the enemy.

[Ataman_stasian]

For UAVs, the conditions will be like in a joke: four guns and the whole sky full of parrots. You don't even need to aim. 76 isn't that many; they'll all go down in one sortie. This year, in six months, the 34 has flown three times from the factory; compared to last year, it's as if they never flew at all.

I think 90 percent of the population is already part of this "war party"... So what? The remaining 10 percent, those at the top, frankly don't give a damn about our desires and wishes. Their own well-being is far more important to them.

[O. Bender]

Mobilization in all spheres, nationalization, the introduction of martial law—everything for the front, everything for victory. It's unpopular for both the oligarchy and the average person, but I personally don't see any other course of action to achieve victory not only in military operations but also in the geopolitical arena. As a very colorful character once said, "I can't go." Fabergé quietly weeps before determination and will.

[K_4]

The people won't go to war for this government on a global scale, they won't. More likely, there will be a senseless and merciless Russian revolt, plus newly seceded regions. Those at the top understand this, and martial law—thereby wiping out all citizens' debts and monopolizing natural monopolies, where so many essential people are fed—is a nightmare. Alas, we must admit that we're at a dead end, and with this government and the elites, we're heading into the abyss. Someone needs to say their final words and then go to bed, otherwise it'll be all over.

The process is much more complicated, I'm afraid I can't describe it in the comments; there are many possible outcomes of the upcoming events. Time will tell.

[alexboguslavski]

Russian President Vladimir Putin recommended that the St. Petersburg government, in conjunction with the Russian Military Historical Society, install a monument to Alexander Menshikov, an associate of Peter the Great and the city's first governor-general. The corresponding order was published on the Kremlin website.

As the main corrupt official of the times of Peter the Great.

After the death of Franz Lefort, his mentor, Peter I said: "I have only one hand left, and it's a thieving one."By "thieving hand" he meant Menshikov.

Menshikov was repeatedly convicted of embezzlement. For example:
In 1714, he was implicated in a major scam involving the supply of provisions for the army and the capital, where the cost of goods was deliberately inflated several times over, and deliveries were carried out through front men.

Does this remind you of anything? It's a classic pattern.

[paul3390]

As Pyotr Alekseevich used to say, while beating Menshikov with a stick: steal from the profit, you brute, from the profit, not from the losses...

[Waterways 672]

[quote]— So, are you going to steal much? — Not without it, if you do it honestly. A bear lives without profit, but I am a man. But I’ll only steal a kopeck, and I’ll bring in a chervonets’ worth of profit.
Classic. "Eternal Call".

[Victor Leningradets]

Menshikov is a hero, a brilliant administrator and leader. A companion of the Tsar in the creation of the Empire. Governor of St. Petersburg. And yet, a bribe-taker and embezzler.
The fact that Peter used it despite this suggests that the benefits far outweighed the losses. And it wasn't a one-time replacement.

[Revolver]

Yeah. And Mother Catherine, when they reported to her that they were stealing government money, would say something like, "Thank God they're stealing, that means there's something to steal."

[Victor Leningradets]

Mother, like Father, was not without sin with his cudgel. But they were undoubtedly talented people. They knew how to gather the right people and solve enormous problems. And they knew how to keep corruption within bounds. So, both Menshikov and Potemkin accomplished far more than they took credit for. I really want to understand what today's corrupt officials did that allowed them to plunder without measure.

[alexoff]

According to a British publication, hardliners, in the wake of Zelenskyy's attacks on Russia, have stepped up calls for Putin to abandon Trump's mediation and take tougher action against Ukraine.

They actually cite Yuri Baranchik there. Putin hardly knows who he is. He's surrounded by a party of peace, friendship, chewing gum, and the protection of Ukrainian logistics and Ukrainian politicians. After all, they live in neighboring villas in Nice, send their children to the same London colleges, and who are these Baranchiks, Sladkovs, and other commentators? He probably doesn't have a billion, so who cares about them?

[Foggy Dew]

Translating from English to Russian: paid bobiks have been voicing the GOAL of provocations against Russia, perpetrated by the calotry of mattress pads at the hands of slaves with forelocks since 2014. The goal is to turn Russia into an evil empire, but the result, unfortunately for them, is precisely the opposite. So much so, in fact, that even their own countries understand this, and THEIR governments are crumbling one after another.

Quote: Foggy Dew

The goal is to turn Russia into an evil empire, but the result, unfortunately for them, is exactly the opposite.

I didn't understand anything, could you please explain it in more detail and make it clearer?

[Foggy Dew]

Roughly speaking, Russia's use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine or, for example, an attack on ANY NATO country, no matter how justified by international law—for example, is there an air corridor for attacks on St. Petersburg? Under international law, we have grounds to attack Poland and the Baltics, just for a second. So, this instantly legitimizes ALL the previous actions of EU thugs like Macron, Scholz, Ursula, and so on. They'll joyfully shout, "I told you so!" Ultimately, this is their only salvation.
But that's now. In 14, and before the full-blown crisis in the EU, the idea was simpler: find an external enemy, and then social cohesion, government support, and economic mobilization would follow. A "small war" won, where we wouldn't even have to fight ourselves. Purely politically, that's the dream of ANY government, which is why all EU countries have so eagerly jumped on board.

[aybolyt678]

Quote: Foggy Dew

Ultimately, this is their only salvation.

This is salvation for talking heads, not for the system. The system is being militarized, which means any deviations will be suppressed. Hitler had only 5 fighters dressed in boots and brown shirts, and with that number, he practically usurped power. Therefore, it is necessary to act like Iran toward external enemies and like Stalin toward internal ones.

[Foggy Dew]

How many fighters does Starmer have? Oh yeah, he's already unemployed.))) How many fighters does Macron have? Just Panin, and he's the one punching Macron, not his opponents? And now...
And anyway, your analogies are completely off base. Hitler had the support of the people, and, by the way, a clearly visible enemy, the one who drove those people into poverty. The European priests have neither, so at least they tried to figure out an enemy—and they keep trying, but to no avail. So another priest has fallen off his perch in Britain, and he won't be the last.

[aybolyt678]

Quote: Foggy Dew

And in general, you're completely off the mark with your analogies. Hitler had the support of the people, and by the way, a clearly visible enemy, who drove these people into poverty.

The Treaty of Versailles drove Germany into poverty, yet it went to war with Russia. Before relying on the people, it's necessary to first generate public demand, which was done with the Brownshirts. The Starmers, Shcholtsy, and Macrons are currently relying on the Ukrainian people. But that's only for now...

[Foggy Dew]

Wow! And who brought France out? Pushkin? It's all very complicated there. For example, there's a theory that racial theory was so well received because there was the Ruhr, and that's where the occupiers were stationed under the Treaty of Versailles. They didn't send Poilu there; they were already stuck with the burden of doing their job, so the Arabs and blacks from the colonies. And their behavior towards the German population... Let's just say it was enough to make the Germans dislike other races...

They've raised us to be consumers. , diluted with migrants, clogged our brains with unnecessary demands... I don't want to eat!

We all live in an information environment where the initial information is tailored to our needs. People who want the government to demonstrate its power with nuclear weapons are the war party. Those who say nuclear weapons shouldn't be used are the irons of state power, and the state is an apparatus of repression and coercion acting in the interests of the ruling class. Our ruling class consists of oligarchs and bankers; their names are well-known. It's simple.

[aybolyt678]

Quote from gribanow.c

What exactly is the Kremlin's strategy?

In my opinion, the towers are expecting the enemy structure to collapse on its own if we cautiously resist, like America changed its relations with Europe, or Poland with Ukraine. Or a war larger than Iran will break out, like China with America or somewhere else. There was some merit to this, but there are also objective factors—namely, we are losing a war of attrition due to a certain technological lag. Again, this is purely my opinion. Perhaps by the fall, before the elections, they will draw their hidden cards; I'd like to hope so.

Those who make mistakes but correct them, those who violate them through ignorance but apologize by replenishing the budget, they will continue to live and prosper and acquire wealth.
And whoever deliberately and maliciously fails to comply with the laws will be touched by the right hand, which guarantees the supremacy of decrees, regulations, decisions, and sometimes even laws.

Russia's "war party" is allegedly calling on Vladimir Putin to abandon negotiations with the United States and finally start fighting "in earnest."

To wage a serious war, the military force must be increased by at least two million troops, including the necessary provisions, equipment, uniforms, and weapons. The country is unlikely to be ready for this. The current force allows for a leisurely, slow advance while maintaining the country's economic development. A shift toward militarization is unlikely to be welcomed by the population if it significantly impacts their standard of living. Of course, Ukrainian refugees want to return as quickly as possible, but who will expedite this, and most importantly, who will pay for it, develop and produce new types of weapons in sufficient quantities, and train and prepare the personnel that still need to be recruited.

[aszzz888]

In order to fight seriously, it is necessary to increase the military grouping by at least two million people, including the necessary provisions, equipment, uniforms and weapons.

Yes, that's about it... But, if not "two million people," then we definitely need to add something closer to 1 million...

While Russia was blocking Telegram, Ukraine was deploying AI drones. Now one country can launch large-scale drone attacks, while another can block the internet for its citizens. Maybe now, at least, we should push for better technical equipment for the army, rather than for attacks. Otherwise, many people will die fighting robots. Or are those who call for war not even planning to fight?

NATO, using Ukraine as a cover, took out oil refineries, and then they'll take over thermal power plants, water utilities, and other infrastructure in Russian cities. The president has withdrawn from decision-making until the very last minute, unwilling to escalate the situation, silently watching as the country is destroyed. Logistics are disrupted due to the lack of gasoline and diesel fuel, food and goods shortages are emerging, power outages and blackouts are leading to a shortage of bread, and people are starting to light fires, cooking dinner on two bricks. The bicycle has become the main means of transportation. Citizens, buy bicycles!

[Soldatov V.]

In fact, the term "War Party" is a Western definition or lexicon. It's like the American Ministry of Defense being renamed the Ministry of War. For us in Russia, the correct and more appropriate term is "the party for the defense of the country or Motherland, Russia." And the party's program should include the defense of the country by any available means, including the use of weapons of mass destruction, not excluding nuclear weapons. In reality, Russia currently faces a threat no worse or worse than an attack by the Tatar-Mongol Horde, an attack by Napoleon, WWI escalating into civil war, and the Great Patriotic War. The party is not fighting for the sake of fighting, but fighting to defend the Motherland. In principle, the entire active army is currently awaiting and demanding decisive action at the front and the mobilization of the country in all areas, as are the vast majority of citizens.

[snow mountain]

Among the proposals are the elimination of the Kyiv clown and his entourage, strikes on the government quarter and drone production facilities in the territory of the Bandera regime's European allies, and even the consideration of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons.

Our supreme authority knows better. It's bloggers' job to show their enemies, plain and simple, what can be done to them. Despite all the terrorist efforts of the stoner and his friends, it's not time yet to demolish downtown Kyiv, much less nuke it. We're already humiliating them badly, and they're already dying.

It seems the article was inspired and paid for by our SVR. The goal is to revive the negotiating track and avoid defeat. They tried to exert similar pressure by publishing the amended nuclear doctrine. They say, "Let's make peace, or else we'll start in earnest."

Bloggers are already noting that Ukraine, despite its weaker capabilities, managed to create a fuel crisis in Russia. Russia, however, drove its adversary to the point of energy pre-crisis. This could have been called a crisis, but they gave the adversary a chance to recover. They knocked out locomotives, but didn't create a transport crisis. Bridges were touched only in the LBS zone. In short, not a single completed operation. I fear that with this approach, the use of nuclear weapons will yield results that are not much more effective than anything Russia has done before. In other words, it's not the type of weapons used that matters, but the will to see the results through to their logical conclusion.

[Grigory b]

It's still a bit early for tactical nuclear weapons, but it's high time to bury the government districts and the top brass of the Bandar-logs. For UAV production in Europe, it would also be a good idea to select the most sparsely populated area. Then, we'll see their reaction and then decide whether to use tactical nuclear weapons or not.

Massive nuclear missile strikes are necessary. Reduce several Ukrainian cities to dust and firmly declare that the next strike will be against any country that supplies weapons, even non-nuclear ones. An iron will is needed to achieve victory. If conventional weapons are insufficient, we must use nuclear weapons at full force. Peace must develop rapidly, otherwise we will be trampled.

[Ivan Ivanov_36]

A nuclear strike is excessive.
You just have to be a tough person.

They committed a terrorist attack against a general and killed 10 generals in Ukraine.
They attacked the government building and leveled the entire government quarters during meetings.

It's all very simple and clear. But if Putin can't strike with conventional weapons, then what the hell are nuclear weapons? A man can't take a single step, and you expect him to run a marathon? Let's not be idiotic.

Yeah, yeah, hold me back, seven of you.))) We've been hearing about tougher measures for years now. But there's no way to back them up, just as there's no way to combat the drones that are destroying Russia's economy every day at an incredible rate. Shoigov's vaunted electronic warfare system isn't working, and shutting down the internet isn't helping either. And all because the army wasn't developing, and the generals were busy embezzling from the budget. It's unlikely that anything will improve now. Billions of dollars invested in Ukraine and the timidity of Russia's military leadership won't allow it.

Putin is being urged to take tougher action against Ukraine.

Appeals will achieve nothing. The key here is composure and composure.

The main thing to understand here is that calling on Putin is pointless. He's already past... err... conscription age.
Like they say in that famous song... Ah! You can't turn minced meat back. And you can't mold a bullet out of it.

There's no need to hit Europe with nukes! We could secretly launch a cruise missile from a submarine, send a backdoor to a port, send a couple of drones from saboteurs, equip a tanker with explosives and, if they try to capture it, demonstratively blow it up along with the invaders, and much more. But that won't happen—we're gentlemen, after all, and meanwhile people are dying even far from the front, not to mention the guys on the front lines. It's simply shameful when he says one thing and then does something completely different.

I have a feeling that Putin is now at a loss and doesn’t know what to do next.

How lucky our country was to have Stalin during the war!

Because of their reluctance to escalate, our enemy escalates, and we repeatedly lose our strategic advantage, finding ourselves playing catch-up for months. A single tactical nuclear strike on a military infrastructure facility with minimal casualties would at least sober some people up—they'd at least think twice before another round of escalation.

I just don't get it... I have, more precisely, a persistent feeling that, when it comes to Ukraine, we're biting the stick that's being used to beat us. Meanwhile, the master of the stick—let's call it international globalist imperialism (IGI) ( beautiful?), is absolutely not captured by attention.
Meanwhile, in my opinion, it's easy to get his attention: give Iran intercontinental ballistic missiles and deploy our nuclear warheads there, for example. Deploy Varshavyanka submarines there. And, in general, initiate full-fledged military-technical cooperation. Seal the Strait of Hormuz completely and prohibit the construction of pipelines past it. I wonder what will happen?

[sir Garry]

Yes! I'm calling for it too! It's been 4+ years already. Zelya should be saved for the gallows, but for the rest - FIRE!!!

How many lives of fighters will this "success" take?

[Roman 11]

Yes, that's right, we need to stop attacks on our civilians as harshly as possible, even to the point of demolishing enemy neighborhoods.

Reuters has probably started regularly reading comments on the Military Review website.

Peace policy is conducted in secret for a time, but when things get tough, all political secrets become a blur. A leader must be not only charismatic, but also, above all, successful. Second, perhaps, comes first, because sooner or later they'll be asked: "Where are the results?"

[sgr291158]

This strategy may work, but how many guys will die in the process?

Reuters: Putin is being urged to take tougher action against Ukraine.

I think calling on Putin to take harsh measures is futile. Vladimir Vladimirovich has begun to experience physiological changes or simply old age, and at this time, especially a high-ranking official, he needs peace, quiet, and, most importantly, good news.
