Is just a western propaganda talking point. Of course there exist many different avenues through which Russia tries to influence people, but that is nothing special compared to the measures in the West.

Why this point is repeated so often in the West is, that it has lost credibility among their own people. But that is mostly of their own making and not the cleverness of Russian propaganda.

> The fun part is that the West wages the informational war on its own population!

That works only so far. Today the West is like the end of the communist block in Cold War. The discrepancy between propaganda and experience of the people grows just bigger.

That is what I say in  >>/55438/
the West has lost credibility by throwing out basic civilisatory standards like rule of law, due process. 

> Russia often presents herself as a power that is against the colonialism the West still practices. It's a Soviet heritage ofc, the SU did the same. And they support those locals who also want to get rid of the remnants of their former oppressors and exploiters.

That is just rhetoric and I think those in government in Africa and other places know that.

>  Are they so afraid they couldn't compete on leveled field with others eyeing the continent (such as US, Russia, and China)?

They all do the same, they pay off those in charge. That is what nigger in chief expect.

>  I see the same parallel with those Russians who don't want to live under Putin's regime and try to emigrate, but tarded EU politicians like Kaja Kallas wants to deny them the opportunity. 

That is deliberately. Contrary to what the Russian or EU governments say, nobody wants regime change in Russia.
The policy of the "West", the USA that is controlling the West is to create a divide between Europe and Russia. The USA has no interest in a good relationship between Europe and Russia, George Friedmann talks since a long time why and what.

Suddenly who are these people.

Hybrid war does exist. Russia does it. What Western media and "experts" leave out is the Western hybrid war. Propaganda is not outright lying, but taking the facts and put them in the a certain light to influence people with.

It really works because most people don't really follow anything. And they don't scrutinize what they hear with one ear.

 >>/55439/
> throwing out basic civilisatory standards like rule of law, due process. 
Yeah, they do that. On the other hand they don't really lose credibility, or the rate of it doesn't matter. They need divided societies and the ability to fabricate just enough support, consent for the governments to keep going.
Probably credibility doesn't matter at this point. We are on rails.

> That is just rhetoric
Rhetoric matters a lot. There is a reason why Russia presents herself like that.
Three group approaches the African nation of Bababunga.
Russian says:
- We give you money and expertise to develop stuff in return we get resources and basing rights and whatnot.
Chinese says:
- We give you money and expertise to develop stuff in return we get resources and basing rights and whatnot.
Westerner says:
- We give you money and expertise to develop stuff in return we get resources and basing rights and whatnot. Oh and you have to stop beating women and have to start chopping off the peepee your kids. And this is because you are a bunch of stupid nigger barbarians who can't appreciate real civilization.
Whom will President Bumbuli pick?
Westerners approach the 3rd world with the same colonial mentality, where they are the enlightened tutors of the retarded subhumans. The white man's burden still applies.

Jesus Christ. These become less and less coherent.

Lotsa talk about a "peace" deal, that it's practically signed and whatever. Details are hazy and can't really know. There are some statements both from Washington and Tehran, and from commentators all around which not help judging what's real. The Trump admin has a reason to keep details hushed up and denied too, since they made an utter clown of themselves during this whole ordeal and the No1 power of the world came out worse as they went in.
Major obstacle is Israel. Iran wants em to stop their campaign in Lebanon, they don't want to hear about it. Apparently. But I don't think they do it without checking in Washington, I suspect it's a coordinated tactic by them. Perhaps to gain time for whatever Israel think still needs to be done.

One sure thing, perhaps the only sure thing, is that Iran won't make an A-bomb. Which they didn't want in the first place. What other agreement will be in effect in case of the whole nuclear program - uranium enrichment, power plants, "uranium dust", etc. - I don't think it can be known yet. Obama had a deal which Trump scuttled.
Strait of Hormuz will be open. According to Trump no toll. But this isn't sure either. And they say it will be a slow process until it opens. Mines apparently. I heard from Marandi Iran never layed mines. Which I suspect it's true because how else the ships that payed the toll to Iran sailed through?
There is a big number floated: $300 billion investments in Iran, by US and Gulf States. Can considered as reparation.
Iran's frozen assets will be unfrozen. Or some of it. $10-25 billion. Or none.

Things to note about the Ukraine war in this phase - for late spring and early summer I think.
1. Russian advance in the most important operational region, Donetsk oblast. From Pokrovsk-Mirnograd area, from Siversk toward Sloviansk-Kramatorsk, and at Kostiantynivka.
2. Small Russian advances in minor directions, perhaps Zap is half-important, and at east of Kupiansk in that pocket.
3. Ukrainian recaptures chiefly in Dnipropetrovsk oblast, some in Zap. First is less important for the Russians.
4. Ukraine intensified strategic strikes, it seems sometimes they launch them from NATO countries (Baltics), since Russia pocketed record amount of dough due to the Iranian/Gulf clusterfuck the effects probably were minor.
5. Midrange strikes that effects the operational theater directly, along the land bridge north of the sea of Azov. They hit considerable amount of trucks with drones. This put pressure on the supply lines. Western "analysts" overestimate the importance ofc.
For now not sure if Russia has a way to counter effectively #4 and #5. I heard they now report how many Ukrainian drones and cruise missiles they shot down, like how Ukraine reports theirs.

Westerners try to sell it as either stalemate or AFU "turning the tide".
Reminds me to watch Col. Reisner's most recent about the very same.

3. The Kill Zone where vehicle's can't move without getting targeted and probably destroyed.

Perhaps the number of defenders are reduced and the RuAF can suppress enemy drones.

One result of these jawing in Ankara is that Ukraine will get the license of the Patriot missile. To which part, the whole thing, which model, etc isn't clear. But in the future sometimes they will be able to produce it. They need a factory tho, which is also undecided, where and how. Or at least any detail is non-disclosed. I'm fairly sure if the production begin while the war is still on, the factory and the supply lines will be high up on the target list.
So it's not really helping the war effort just yet.

NATO exists to confront a threat which is created by its own existence, but doesn't have the power to confront the threat its existence created.

Sirsky is replaced with Mikhail Drapatyi after protests demanded the old commander-in-chief gone, after Def.Min. Fedorov was sacked. Zelensky offered a new place for the latter in the govt., people like him.
I heard Drapaty is a "new type of general". He is major general which is low rank. Since military reform was the issue between Fedorov and Sirsky we either might expect changes from Drapatyi (since he is young) or he will has the role to keep on to the line Sirsky held, he just an acceptable figure.

US - Saudi nuclear deal.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/22/us-and-saudi-arabia-announce-nuclear-cooperation-deal
I think they want to create a close-nuclear-weapon state out of Saudi Arabia to counter Iran's threat to it. It's an arms race.
Why do I think this?
The article says:
> Some US media reports have suggested that the deal will allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium domestically rather than import nuclear fuel from the US.
Which isn't proof of anything but they cite the Trump admin. talking about nonproliferation and keeping standards and shit:
“Rest assured, these agreements uphold the highest standards of nuclear safety and nonproliferation, while relying on the world’s best nuclear technology and scientists, designed right here in the United States.”
The Trump administration said the deal with Saudi Arabia will create jobs in the US, “reinforce global nonproliferation standards”, and strengthen the strategic partnership with Riyadh.

If they claim they won't do it, that's like stating that oh yes they will do. This one and a half year of Trump proved that enough.

Will this Saudi near-nuke-capable state will help to keep the peace better?
Iran enriching uranium not to initiate attacks, but if its necessary and attacked in certain way they could build a bomb quick and attack back. It's the threat of having one to keep would be attackers from action.
I think Washington is grasping to straws to prove they are handling the situation instead of fumbling. But they are fumbling on and dog knows what the consequences will be.

Following Trump's distortions of truth (not Truth as his platform) I see Americans falling for the "NATO is a separate organization, has nothing to do with the US" and similar narratives.
Trump started with stuff like, taking the role of "intermediary" and "negotiator" between NATO and Russia, or making a deal with NATO, or NATO not caring about Greenland, or NATO not helping with Iran, etc.
So in case a burger will read this, I want to be clear:

NATO is a support structure of the US that helps projecting power over the globe.
NATO is formed by US's allies, that were indebted to the US to their chin and above, where the US had basing rights for her troops, air force, navy; and from former enemy countries what the US occupied, and made indebted to their chin.
Other countries were added where the US feared the communists will take over, and intervened to prevent that, which resulted in further acquisition of basing rights.
NATO is a way to keep US allies from getting armed against each other, keep them fighting each other. The US being the strongest NATO member keeps the rest weak, prevents any of them gaining primacy over the others, prevents them - individually and collectively - from rising to be a rival for the US.
Each NATO member each is a springboard for the US to reach places around the globe.
Each NATO member helps the US in other ways to contain states that the US perceives as "enemy". The US can mobilize them for sanctions, use their votes in the UN to move forward her agenda, or hamper the agenda of "enemy" states.

This is just a nicer way of saying, that NATO is one string that the US animates her clients with, one of the tools the US aiming for global hegemony (or keep it when hegemon).

Think about this: how many allied countries to the US has basing rights in the US and bases combat troops there?

 >>/55525/
The US can't mediate between someone and NATO like a neutral party, since 80% of NATO is the US. In the rest of the 20% it largely happens what the US wants. It's like negotiating with herself.

When Trump says he'll "talk to NATO", with whom? Himself? Mark Rutte? Because there is no NATO without US, there are other member states but they aren't this mysterious "NATO" entity, they are just other member states. Even the European commander-in-chief is a fucking American. Always.

Quite the relationship if it got a separate headline.

 >>/55525/
Btw the recent Tucker Carlson interview with that woman made the final push for me.
Nothing goes within NATO without the US's approval. They make it sound like it's Israel and Ukraine that controls NATO. They aren't even in the fugging organization.

Another interesting video from Jeff Rich of The Burning Archive:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=65GoBydLFfM
https://youtube.com/watch?v=65GoBydLFfM
Is Peace Finally Possible in Ukraine? A Realistic Roadmap the World Has Ignored
He suggests a "7 point peace plan", on the basis of the lessons the peace of Westphalia teaches. Essentially first all participants have to recognize that they are participants, and they have to make separate peaces, with the help of a real non-partizan mediator (which is not the US.)
He had similar videos which I linked  >>/54881/
Here is the current plan in short:
1. Establish UN mandated peace process
2. A Russia-US Treaty ending US involvement in Ukraine
3. A long term Russia-USA treaty on broader security issues
4. UN mandated transitional government in Ukraine
5. EU-Russian peace, reconstruction and reconciliation treaty
6. Removal of British security presence from Europe
7. A new collective security architecture for Europe (Western Eurasia)

As for me. What I think this war is heading.
I think Russia will capture the rest of Donetsk. Kramatorsk and Sloviansk will fall by spring, the rest will be gone quick.
But then.
Ukraine can attack Russia with drones as long as the West can supply them, and that is essentially indefinitely. Russia can't stop even if they reach all clay capturing/liberating targets because they have to eliminate the drone threat. They could occupy and annex Odessa even. The drones won't stop.
So they'll have to plow through the whole Ukraine, defeat and disarm her completely. The West can't attack Russia from their own countries, only from a "neutral" party. If Moscow can neutralize this neutral party then it will end.
Or until they can come up with a way to counter drones and completely neutralize the threat they pose, making them useless.

This 30000 comes up in various forms. Why?
No, seriously, why?
First, back in 2024, they said Ukraine recruits 30K per month.
Then in early 2025 Zelensky said Ukraine had 30K KIA during the whole war.
Then late 2025 or early this year they said Russia has to recruit 30K per month to keep up with her losses.
Now they (Budanov) said Ukraine needs to recruit 30K per month to continue current operations.
What the fuck? Why is this 30K a magical number?

I have a nudging feeling to look each up, and source it. I think I even mentioned the first two on this board. Gonna take a look see.

Our boy Clement Molin has a long thread about the salient north of Lyman  >>/55573/
https://xcancel.com/clement_molin/status/2097246506814251336
What doesn't make sense: apparently the RuAF HQ didn't notice the offensive and land capture because due to Ukrainian opsec noone wrote about it in the Western papers, and the pro-Russian milbloggers while knew something is up they didn't know details so Gerasimov couldn't read them. Or some such. Sure.
But he presents evidence of Ukrainian advance in the form of Russian airstrikes and whatnot.
Weird isn't it. Russian higher command did not know about the offensive but they sent Su27s to bomb them. Surely the battalion commanders themselves flew those instead of requesting air support.

Wyatt of DPA talks a lot about Lyman situation in this, starts about half:
https : //yewtu . be/watch?v=tF1Ytb1ObbM
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tF1Ytb1ObbM
His map considerably differs from Clement's or AMK's maps. He works from Russian and Ukrainian defense ministry reports, Russian and Ukrainian mapping, drone footage geolocations. Occasionally in his videos he mentions there are lot of airstrikes but he don't bother talking about them, he notes where the fighting is reported, what are capture claims, and how the geolocations affirm or contradict all these.
I believe this leads to the difference. Molin checks where the FABs gets dropped. AMK I dunno. Because there are no geolocations (for now, what I have seen and I don't follow closely), no videos about the fighting. It could very well be that AFU just goes into lightly defended or not defended "greyzones", just like in Dnipro* oblast.

Note on the USian overt hostile intervention in Iran.
So it goes on since February on and off, right now the situation is:
- Strait of Hormuz is closed
- Bab-el-Mandeb Strait (the exit of Red Sea) is kinda closed, the Ansar Allah (the Houthis) can and willing to prevent, endanger shipping there, I think it is considered as close
Saudi Arabia attacked the Houthi Yemen with air strikes, I think the Houthis replied kindly.
So everything is better and better.

Our boy Clement Molin linked (2 days ago) the report of the Azov about the liberation of the area around Seredne-Novoselivka, DeepState UA also notes it as recaptured. Based on the Azov report Clement adds that it happened in spring/summer.
https://shitter.thepixora.com/clement_molin/status/2099793108519068077#m
Wyatt of DPA reported of this back in the day, the new thing is the old footage which was released and which gives geolocations.
Wyatt also mapped the Nove advance, months ago, based on geolocation. He said about a week ago that there is new capture reported from there, the AFU advanced 106 meters(!) from the point where he placed the geolocation.
But not this is why I'm writing this, but for the comments. Hilarious.

Whom they want to keep their huge advances in secret?
Russians know. Rybar shows it on their map, so their osint groups know about it. The RuAF knows it. They have troops on the ground getting attacked, they have drones, airplanes, satelites to observe, they have military intel services. They know where the fights are where they get fire.
So they don't want the public to know about it, because we pretty much don't have other sources. But why would they want it to keep it secret?

ukrainewar... jpg

Check this. I wanted to stop but a word grabbed my attention:
spoilers
They are talking about it like it was movie: pls don't hurry to give out the good part.
They don't say: don't alert the enemy about our activity.
The enemy knows, the public don't.

There might be other reasons but here's two possible explanation:
1. They captured shit. They started half a year ago and they still where they started except they finally revealed that. So now they are in a situation where claiming captures is really premature. Their "infiltration" units managed to walk far, but got clapped by the bombing missions Clement noted happening. Right now, beside them noone really knows where they are, so OSINT researchers guessing about their advances. However these advances are way further than how reality is. But now expectations are high, and will suck balls when it turns out they didn't managed that much.
2. They did capture considerable area, towns villages, they are advancing more, the RuAF knows, but the AFU want to keep it quiet to release the info in a right time to have more impact on Russian election in November (they elect reps into the State Duma), and they want to cause as much turmoil then as possible.
How much any if this is possible I dunno.
I'm fairly sure however they don't give a fuck what I think for example.

Iran has considerable influence there, local militias/guerillas were attacking US bases. And there are the Kurds in the north who spread out into the neighbouring countries too, and whom don't have their own state, and whom the US always exploit as their proxies and discard them.
I'm not sure the current govt. will stay in place for long, tho an Afghanistan style flip won't happen, I haven't heard of any such group that could act like them. So I expect some level of turmoil with the central govt's power reaching only to some urban centers, the rest of the country in some level of self governance. Civil war? I don't know, I don't think so. Perhaps if the Iranians can back some group, but I assume the Kurds can be used to check those.

That article is also interesting because can follow the client maintenance of Iraq, as we can read in the book: U.S. Foreign Policy in Perspective:  >>/54223/
According to the article:
> ending a 12-year mission to fight the Islamic State group.
This was overt military intervention, to fight a conflict instead of the local forces, either  "competent clients: life preserver" scenario, or "incompetent client, easy win"  >>/54272/. Now they stopped this policy tool, they reverting back "emergency military aid and advisors":  >>/54271/
> U.S. military “will continue to provide targeted training and intelligence support to our Iraqi partners.”

Seen this on polru. I laffed it instantly reminded me of Albania. And this is the only reason I repost it here.

But now that I'm posting this, lets spend a little time on it because it's an interesting case.
It's very easy to gather that this is a pro-Russian twitter channel. "Z.O.V Military". Now check how the falsehood flowing: the truth dressed in specific perspective.
The news is: the Baltics is getting fortified. True.
The light they put it into: this is somehow some evil plan that differs from NATO's previous doctrine.
It's so petty it's hilarious. I watched the video too. Apparently they want to stop an armored invasion from the direction of Russia, and that's very ominous. People trying to defend themselves from a danger is bad now?
I'd understand if they deployed ballistic missiles there and that worried Russia, but it's the other way around, deflecting is a Russian attack is somehow bad. The only ones who would project this idea are those who don't want to be stopped when they attack.

Also they state:
NATO's previous doctrine was to keep Baltics holding out until reinforcement arrives.
How this goes against from the fortifications? It literally allows the Baltics to hold out until reinforcement arrives.
This twitter channel feels like a parody channel. But I'm aware that Russian propaganda can be clumsy. Perhaps even clumsy on purpose.

Consider: this post (especially with the video) tells us that Russia wants to attack the Baltics, this is what it projects. Which tells those countries (Baltics) and military blocks (NATO) that perceive Russia as an aggressor they have to defend themselves, especially there. Spend time and money on building these. Perhaps instead of spending it smarter. But again military spending can be good, it helps construction industry when economy tanks.

So on Friday Trump "truthed" that diesel prices won't be just stabilized but will go down. In record numbers.
How will this happen? Apparently they have the "total control" of the Strait of Hormuz and the US will buy huge amounts of diesel from Russia. Russia will supply 300K tons in October + 500K in November, and 1M in December, and after that 3 more millions in a "short period of time". All in all close to 5 million tons. To the "American and Global Marketplace" so not just for the USA.
In the same "truth" he also said that Iran will not have a nuke. Or at least this must be understood.
For me it sounds like the usual calming the stock market for the weekend with good news.
And also should be considered he tries to spin a "win" for the coming midterms elections (Nov 3).
But the deal with Russia basically means finishing some of the embargo against Russia.
I wonder if Trump will sell Russian diesel to Europe with profit. It will be American diesel at that point.

The screenshot just to keep things in order.
Perhaps they'll go to the elections, then they drop this right after.
