On the need to intensify attacks on Kyiv

I've noticed how our readership is changing, how slowly the VO spirit with which this publication began is returning. Yes, the "active loudmouths" remain, and, frankly, they are also needed, but there are more and more people who are willing to debate, willing to think, willing to seek common ground. I often deliberately avoid "chewing" certain points in my materials. Simply because these are my thoughts, and they are just as important as the thoughts of any reader... Well, that's just the heightened sensitivity of someone who has lived.

Today I'll be writing about something that concerns many thinking people: a possible future. I'll be writing about how I envision that future. In my article about Trump, I already touched on our response to the challenges of the West and the United States. So today I'll continue those reflections, based on some well-known facts. I'll be discussing why what most people are talking about today, while not a reference to "democracy," truly must be done. And not tomorrow, but right today, right now.



So, I wrote that Zelenskyy is just a puppet, a mere marionette who doesn't know how and can't make decisions independently. But a puppet who has a platform has the opportunity to play the decision maker. I don't think many readers will argue with that. I think it's time for us to deprive Zelenskyy of this theatrical stage. A puppet's place is in the closet. stories, and not on stage. But the West gives this puppet a new, rather formidable weapon against us...

For months, even years, many analysts have been demanding a strike on Kyiv. Not on Kyiv's military installations, not on the "decision-making centers" where decisions haven't been made for a long time, but on the actual locations from which the army is controlled, where draft laws are being prepared, where Zelenskyy and his gang may be located. A strike must be launched that would paralyze Ukrainian statehood itself, a strike that would finally end the war. We know from our own experience how such strikes lead to victory. We also know how long delays lead to enormous losses...

I'm raising this issue again because the danger to Russia has increased exponentially today and continues to grow. Look at Europe. Are there still optimists who don't see preparations for war? Are there still those who don't see the rearmament of European armies? And don't those 90 billion euros that will be transferred to Ukraine this year and next frighten us? And 60 billion is direct spending on weapons and ammunition! I've already touched on the topic of Ukrainian enterprises in European countries. This applies not only to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also to European armies.

And what about the US? Does it matter that the Americans have allocated over $40 billion through various programs? Does it matter that the American military-industrial complex isn't just working hard, it's working at breakneck speed to arm our adversaries. I'm not just talking about Europe and Ukraine. Things are going just too smoothly for the US...

And another thing, in the same vein. We somehow quickly believed that the US had "withdrawn from Ukraine" and handed over control of the conflict to Britain. Why? Probably because we really wanted the Americans to become our allies. Britain is less dangerous, in the opinion of many... In reality, Britain influences political decisions, while the Americans remain the main "military advisers," those who plan operations.

It's no secret that the US directly controls Ukrainian units and formations. No one is hiding their involvement in the development of Palantir's operations. Moreover, we are well aware of this company's infrastructure, which is deployed right in Kyiv. It is Palantir's Kyiv branch that handles targeting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and develops specific strikes... Again, we know about this! And the Americans aren't particularly hiding it either.

They stubbornly refuse to disclose the direct damage figures inflicted on our oil industry. And they're not needed. It's enough to look at oil company statistics to understand everything. The industry's losses, combined for all companies, are estimated at $13,5 billion! No matter how much we try to brag, fuel production is shortfalling the domestic market by approximately 20% of demand. It's not critical, but it's significant. Just like that other figure—a 25% drop in production! And that's also thanks to Palantir.

Why am I mentioning this? Simply because tomorrow or the day after, we'll get an even more serious "pill" from Ukraine. I don't know if anyone noticed the statement Denis Shtilerman, head of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, made recently. A simple statement about the new ballistic missile Rocket The FP-9 will be tested against targets on Russian territory this fall.

You can talk all you want about the impossibility of organizing such production in Ukraine. You can blame Western countries for producing the missile components. But what difference will that make? A missile with a stated range of approximately 850 km and a warhead weight of up to 800 kg is already in the testing phase. It's already in the process of committing yet more murders of our civilians on our own soil.

I'll go back to the beginning. We can't ban the West from financing Ukraine. We can't ban the West from producing missile components in their factories. But we can destroy the command centers that coordinate these production facilities, that develop the strikes. We can destroy Ukraine's scientific and industrial potential. That's the math. A new Ukrainian missile is on one side of the scale, and the lives of workers and engineers who are at risk at Russian plants are on the other.

It's easier to burn a snake's nest than to hunt for baby snakes all over the forest. That's an axiom. I think the situation with the missile and the strikes on our oil refineries is roughly the same. The danger must be eliminated before it becomes serious. And we mustn't spare the factories and design bureaus. We mustn't spare anything that poses even the slightest threat to us. 

Yes, it's entirely possible the Americans will be outraged. So what? Who's going to stop us from declaring these centers, factories, and design bureaus legitimate military targets? They've remained silent after the strikes on our territory, declaring dormitories, playgrounds, markets, and the like legitimate military targets...

Frankly, we need to face the truth. We're facing the prospect of ballistic missile strikes, which, unfortunately, are produced in Ukraine. They may be in assembly plants, but they're being produced. And, judging by Shtilerman's statement, they're being produced unhindered. Now imagine what might happen if missiles of such power were to attack our oil refineries?

And this is entirely feasible, given the capabilities of Western manufacturing and the level of Western technology... We need to strike now. We need to obliterate Ukraine's defense industry until it's completely destroyed. Only then can we ensure the safety of our civilian population...

    This should have been done a long time ago: block any supply of equipment to the outskirts, impose a no-fly zone over the outskirts and the Black Sea, destroy all the infrastructure that supports the Armed Forces, and if the Ukrainian government led by Zelensky is declared terrorists, they must be destroyed, and they are traveling all over the world.

      It should be noted that the Kremlin is delaying in inflicting irreparable damage on its enemies and unbrotherly people, dragging itself along with events and acquiring a lump of difficult-to-solve problems, like the current one with the fuel and energy complex.
      In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to the actions of the Iranian people and the IRGC in the war against the Zionists and the striped terrorist aggressors, where the notorious NATO article is not mentioned except by a war criminal and pedophile from Washington, reproaching the allies for the lack of assistance and support.
      If we aim for victory for the Russian Armed Forces in the North-Eastern Front-Country Operation, we must act decisively and purposefully, like our fathers and grandfathers did in the Great Patriotic War. Otherwise, why would there be casualties among Russian soldiers and civilians?

        JUST A QUOTE

        From the book by N. Dixon "The Psychology of Military Incompetence" 1976

        1. A serious waste of manpower and a failure to adhere to one of the fundamental principles of warfare—economy of force. This failure is partly due to the inability to wage war quickly. It is also due to certain mentalities, which we will examine below.

        2. Fundamental conservatism and adherence to outdated traditions, an inability to benefit from past experience (partly due to a refusal to acknowledge past mistakes). This also includes an inability to utilize available technologies or a tendency to misuse them.

        3. The tendency to reject or ignore information that is unpleasant or contradicts established beliefs.

        4. The tendency to underestimate the enemy and overestimate one’s own capabilities.

        5. Indecision and a tendency to withdraw from the role of decision maker.

        6. Persistence in pursuing a given task despite compelling evidence to the contrary.

        7. Inability to take advantage of a given situation and a tendency to "pull the trigger" instead of continuing the offensive.

        8. Failure to conduct adequate reconnaissance.

        9. A tendency to make frontal attacks, often on the enemy’s most fortified positions.

        10. Belief in brute force rather than clever tricks.

        11. Failure to use surprise or deception.

        12. Excessive willingness to look for scapegoats for military failures.

        13. Concealment or distortion of news from the front, usually explained as necessary to maintain morale or security.

        14. Belief in mystical powers - fate, bad luck, etc."

          The "decision-making centers" are not located on the territory of the former Ukraine.

          Ukraine is not a party to the conflict, but an instrument that has long served as a "punching bag" with which the true enemy strikes us... and no matter how much Russia strikes back at this "punching bag," it does no harm to the true enemy.

          Our soldiers, Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, and the population of the former Ukraine are dying in this war. With the right approach, they should have been on our side and fighting in our army. But the true enemy has turned a part of us against ourselves, our history, our culture, our world.
          It's just like the myth of Jason, the Golden Fleece, and the warriors who grew from the Dragon's Teeth, where, to win, Jason threw a stone into the middle of the formation, the warriors' ranks became confused, and the warriors killed themselves. One peculiarity: the warriors were mindless.

          Ukrainian statehood has been absent since 2014. It cannot be destroyed because it does not exist.

          As long as the West feels comfortable in this confrontation, the war against Russia will continue.

          As long as Russia gives the West time to prepare for war, develop its skills, and hone its technologies, Western elites will be confident in the correctness of their chosen course.

          As long as there is an untouchable rear beyond the borders of the former Ukrainian territory, necessary to maintain the functioning of the "corpse" of Ukraine in a combat-ready zombie state, the confrontation between Russia and the West will be a one-sided game, with Russia relegated to the role of "goalkeeper."

          It's a well-known fact that wars are not won on the defensive. Now, in its confrontation with the West, Russia is precisely "on the defensive." It doesn't matter that our troops are advancing across the "corpse" of Ukraine, nor how quickly they do so. In its confrontation with the true enemy, Russia is on the defensive.

          Europe's air and missile defense systems are weak. There are many vulnerabilities within the EU, and I've written about them many times here, on VO, and on Reporter. A demonstrative detonation of a powerful nuclear charge in the stratosphere at an altitude of 50-60 km (but let the experts suggest their own solution; I'm just speculating conceptually) as a warning to NATO nuclear powers (France, England, and the United States) and a massive non-nuclear strike against oil refineries, fuel storage facilities, data centers, power plants, and ASML.

          Of course, as an ordinary citizen, I don't have all the information, but Russian citizens are already beginning to develop persistent doubts about both the competence of high-ranking officials and their ability to make difficult but necessary decisions. These doubts are dangerous, and something must be done about them.

          Government officials like Siluanov need to stop singing the "song for the marquise" on camera.
          Peskov needs to stop saying every time that "the Kremlin is out of the loop again." It's clear he's trying to troll, but jokes aren't appropriate in the current circumstances.
          And the government as a whole urgently needs to learn to communicate with the people in a way that gives them a clear understanding of where we're going. Currently, such understanding is lacking among the masses.

          The goals of the SVO are widely supported by the people.

          The methods of the SVO raise questions and suspicions of betrayal at the top.

          Hesitation in striking the real enemy, especially after the announcement at the beginning of the Second World War of "consequences that 'they' have never faced before" and "strikes on decision-making centers" (which are definitely not in Kyiv), and especially after the example of Iran... does not serve to raise either morale at the front or loyalty to the current government among the people.

          Many in power need to forget about their assets and liabilities in EU countries and drive their children back to Russia... with a kick in the ass, if necessary.

        Whether we like it or not, I think only a measured use of nuclear weapons by us will cool the ardor of the overly embattled West. They wouldn't have pulled such a stunt with the USSR. And what's more, North Korea isn't complaining about drones or even about violations of their fishing borders. Communists aren't exactly easy to fool around with, but we've already raised a generation of leaders who are weaklings. Russia will have to deal with this for a long time. I think Iran genuinely doesn't understand why we haven't resolved the issue in an hour.

        Regarding "non-fraternal" nations. This nation is definitely not fraternal—look at their protests over the change in the defense ministry. Their youth want war; they're literally for a war at a distance: they've taken to the streets. Through their inaction, the Russian oligarchs have created a generation of millions of people at our borders who literally want our remote destruction. And the oligarchs continue to push the Leopold the Cat narrative. A pack of rats will soon devour us!

        There's only one question about winning this protracted war against a bunch of little snakes: the Gulag or nuclear war? That's what inaction will lead to when executing a couple thousand would have been enough. Why can Iran cleanse the country? Huh?
        The longer politics continues to bomb empty factories at night, the worse it will get. It should be during the day, so the dicks of those working for the enemy are scattered within a kilometer radius.

    I completely agree with the author. Without resolving the issue with Ukraine, we are delaying all our successes indefinitely. Ukraine, fighting against us, has activated all the mechanisms of war. In addition to military action, it is conducting propaganda on our territory. And not only that, not excluding sabotage. We also need to activate these mechanisms.

      Maybe it's high time to resolve the issue with Russia? To get the economy going again, stop optimizing, essentially destroying, it.
      In three weeks, I'll be 64, and it turns out I haven't even earned the minimum pension. It saddens me to realize I'm not as healthy as I was when, at 40, I was hauling logs a kilometer to build a dacha.
      Ukraine is certainly bad, but the elevators in our building are standing idle for days. Zelensky is probably breaking them. A good trick: creating enemies who will be held responsible for the dam breach.

Such a stunt wouldn't have worked with the Russian tsars, and the communists wouldn't have let it slide, but with those who love democratic freedoms, it will, and we can put it off until better times; they're not risking anything, after all.

    How beautifully it began:
    I'm noticing how our readership is changing, how slowly the VO spirit with which this publication began is returning. Yes, the "active loudmouths" remain, and, secretly, they are also needed, but there are more and more people who are willing to debate, willing to think, willing to seek common ground.

    And in the end:
    We can't ban the West from financing Ukraine. We can't ban the West from producing missile components in their factories. But we can destroy the command centers that coordinate these production facilities and develop strikes. We can destroy Ukraine's scientific and industrial potential. That's the math.

    Alexander, in our military, a lie (even a small embellishment of the actual situation) is treason. So don't try to sell us this formula for our defeat (and the exchange of blows between Russia and NATO's Ukrainian foothold is precisely that—a formula for defeat) as a recipe for victory. Only the elimination of this foothold, and the Baltic pincer, can lead to some resolution to the situation.
    This is a full-blown war, the preparations for which are being successfully sabotaged by the ruling elite. This is what we should be writing about if VO is a platform for patriots, not propagandists.

      "And this is a full-fledged war, the preparation for which is being successfully sabotaged by the ruling elite."

      We all understand this. I'm sure those responsible for state security, the big shots, understand this too. It's impossible to ignore; the situation is now being measured in weeks, not just months. As early as September, Ukraine will be bombing our territories with ballistic missiles the same way it's now bombing them with mopeds. I live in Rostov, right in the center. The likelihood of them landing is very high. A "fool" with an 800-kg warhead can destroy a block or more.

        I live in Rostov, right in the center. The likelihood of a hit is very high. A "Dura" with an 800 kg warhead can blow up a block or more.

        This is, of course, an exaggeration. Yes, even neighborhoods vary. But a 1-kilogram warhead has a solid destruction radius of 500 meters, and beyond 1 kilometer, it will mostly shatter windows. This kind of thing is suitable for destroying defense industry facilities and infrastructure, even in Kyiv. Two or three dozen warheads and the job is basically done, with minimal damage to residential buildings.

    A massive strike on Kyiv would achieve nothing militarily. But, on the other hand, it would demonstrate to the world that we are prepared for such a scenario.
    Perhaps it will cool hot heads. Yes, we'll get millions more Ukrainians who hate Russia.
    But were there even any sympathizers left? On the battlefield, a month later, the slogan: "For the Motherland, for Stalin!" is replaced by: "You bastard, this is for Petya..."
    At both sides.

      It will cool some heads in the trenches and in Kyiv itself, but the main leaders and ideologists will not, they will only rejoice at the dehumanization and hatred towards us.
      In my opinion, the policy is "who can outlast whom?" in such a protracted conflict, with slow progress and the loss of personnel in the outlying areas, and waiting for winter. This could lead to significant discontent in the outlying areas regarding social issues and the hopelessness of resistance. Meanwhile, the military-industrial complex is arming itself for another possible war, and time is on our side, while the West is in dire need of both money and resources, with the economic collapse of the EU and, incidentally, the US.
      The situation is very unpredictable and difficult to predict, and the ballistics they've been developing were already in the form of the Tochka-U, which we temporarily covered, and we'll gradually get over it. Yes, war is like that—it hits everywhere, and we need to be prepared for that.

    Nunca imaginei ver a Rússia na mó de baixo. Estão a ser humilhados por todo o ocidente e continuam a pôr-se a jeito. Se não tinham capacidade não entravam na guerra. Como caíram na armadilha de estar a ser humilhados por todo o mundo. Cada dia que passa estão ficando piores. Qualquer dia não tem energia nem barcos. Tudo esta a ser atacado na Russia. Se não usarem as armas táticas quanto antes, ja foi tarde....

    Moreover, if you imagine what will happen in the future, nothing now prevents the Europeans from donating nuclear bomb production technology and setting up a similar facility in Ukraine, and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles will be flying.

    The main question here is: WHAT TO HIT WITH? How many times has the Kremenchug Oil Refinery been hit? And it's still operational. And the author suggests taking out huge research and production complexes once and for all. Take Yuzhmash, for example. There's no way around it without specialized warheads.

    Somehow I began to respect Yeltsin a little for voluntarily leaving despite realizing his own harmfulness. And this den has spawned a huge number of systemic problems for the people and the country, and they still puff out their cheeks at forums and summits. The government has proven to be treacherous toward the country and the people. The entire vertical.
    The analogy with Zelensky. Both are stooges of the colonialists. Only he's an honest scoundrel, he doesn't hide his goals, the goals of his masters. And here...

    Well, if we think back to everything, they were talking about a war for three months, but here they were all throwing keyboards at the monitor. That it wouldn't happen. Hence the conclusion. Someone suggested a war, and the Kremlin agreed, thinking it would be like Crimea is ours.

    I remember Zhirinovsky almost exactly named the date: February 22, 2022.

    Serious articles with reasoned conclusions, but all in vain, since the situation cannot be resolved without a total nuclear strike.
    And you can twirl your finger at your temple as much as you like while reading these lines; there is no alternative, or rather, the alternative to a nuclear strike is devastation and capitulation!
    It would be good to prevent this scenario!

    A NATO-style air operation, similar to Yugoslavia and Iraq, is needed... 1,000+ cruise missiles targeting air defenses and key points, then air power, then ground operations. This was necessary in 2022, and it was, but it was short-lived and ended immediately. It was precisely the Russian government's inability and unpreparedness for a real war that untied NATO's hands!

    Strikes on Kyiv require a colossal expenditure of scarce precision-guided missiles, which are critically needed at the front line to breach the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defenses. Attempting to solve problems on the front by escalating strikes in the rear resembles the tactic of a gambler who doubles down on a losing bet in hopes of winning back the loss. But war is not roulette; the enemy adapts, strengthens its air defenses, and responds asymmetrically. Is it worth wasting strategic resources on media coverage instead of addressing real battlefield challenges? And if we're talking about media coverage, what effect will the deaths of civilians, lawmakers, and officials have on: a) the global media image of the Central Military District, and b) the conduct of military operations?

    We must raze Ukraine's defense industry to the point of complete destruction. Only then can we ensure the safety of our civilian population...
    - the only correct and, before it’s too late, - solution: The complete destruction of the Ukrainian-Banderon-era statehood and the reunification of Russian territories. Otherwise, war will continue between Russians on Russian territory.

    In the fifth year of hostilities...
    Would the Washington Regional Committee really give permission for such strikes? And we can't do anything without their approval...
    IMHO, truly devastating strikes will only follow after the "ballistic missile" heading for the guarantor's residence is shot down. This will not be forgiven.
    And while the Maryivanovnas and Ivanivanyches from the common people are dying, the ruling class will look at all this with complacency.

    In the autumn of 1944, the Anglo-Saxon air force didn't bomb Wehrmacht positions, but first wiped out the synthetic fuel factories in Silesia, and then began destroying locomotives. And the Wehrmacht, left without fuel and ammunition, suddenly felt worse than ever before. Its combat effectiveness began to plummet.

    So we spoiled them all with our nation!
    Remember the strange coincidence during the visits of Western officials to Kyiv.
    Everyone went there, almost 3-4 times a week!
    As soon as Boris Johnson, Stamer, Ursulka, Biden, Figaiden, Netanyahu or his aunt come, it's all over.
    For some reason, it is precisely during visits from dear partners that the sky over Kiev is pristinely clear.
    Who gave the order not to attack military targets in Kyiv during visits by Western friends?

    1. Magical thinking is the belief in a simple and effective action that you just need to “decide to take.”
    No justification is given for this, and no alternative scenarios are considered.
    Only the desired result is taken into account.
    When this measure fails, magical thinking will surround the core of the theory with protective shells of arguments that "we have been jinxed," that a cunning enemy has carried out yet another insidious plot, that "the scapegoat has betrayed us," and so on.

    2. Magical thinking doesn't consider the realm of technology. It doesn't operate with statistics. "We sent a hundred arrows from our bows at the enemy battleship, and nothing happened. 'But our great shaman will perform a ritual over the bows tomorrow, and we will shoot the enemy officer.' Or, 'Tomorrow we will send even more arrows.'"

    3. Magical thinking does not operate with higher-order laws. "We sell raw materials to our enemies and buy products from them made from these raw materials.
    But we don't have enough money to buy new arrows for our bows from our enemies.
    We need to use special magical rituals to force our enemies to buy even more of our raw materials, so that there will be enough for the lives of our former leaders on the enemy island, and to buy new arrows for our brave warriors."

    Magical thinking prevents us from considering economic disproportion, unprofitable exchange, and the "resource needle" trap.

    Sincerely ...

    Now that the Sumerians are facing real problems with their missile defense system, it's high time to take out the remaining energy in Kyiv. But missiles are being wasted on strikes against "logistics hubs," which may or may not be just that; and against "enterprises" producing "missile and UAV components," which may or may not produce what they claim. And even if they do produce them, they may or may not have lost the ability to do so. We're not children, after all, to rejoice over explosions in Kyiv as such!
