What A Blow For Putin

How terribly everything is shaping up for Russia.

One year and two hundred and five days of war have passed. Now the ISW maps show that Klishchiivka (south of Bakhmut) has come under the full control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. During the last battles in this area, in particular during the capture of Andriivka, the 72nd motorized rifle brigade of the Russian army was almost completely destroyed.

In addition, the Russian 31st Air Assault Brigade was severely damaged. Actually, it was them who could not withstand the onslaught of the 3rd assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which entered Andriivka through its defense sector. Today it became known that the commander of this very 31st air assault brigade, Colonel Andrei Kondrashkin, died in the battle for Andriivka.

The paratrooper fought for a year and a half, began the war with the landing in Hostomel, and that’s it... A funeral, wreaths, fireworks, a white Lada. In general, in the battles for Andriivka, as it has now become known, a large number of command personnel of the 57th, 72nd, 85th motorized rifle and 31st air assault brigades of the Russian Armed Forces were destroyed. So fireworks will soon thunder across many cities and villages of Holy Rus'... And white Ladas will fly towards the widows. And there will be orphans left, and now for the rest of their lives they will see only the portraits of their fathers. Handsome, young, in military uniform and with orders...

And all these funerals and corpses are needed only so that the little vile old man, a liar and earbasher, an ignoramus and a coward, a thief and a murderer, can continue to live and rule Russia. And he, of course, considers himself a figure not inferior in scale to Napoleon...

I wonder if he read the Codex of Saint Helena? Hardly... He doesn't read at all. Rather listens to what they tell him more and more. Kovalchuk, Medinsky, Metropolitan Tikhon (Shevkunov). They tell him about genetic weapons and “Russia has never attacked anyone.” What kind of Napoleon is this, God forgive me? There, after all, it will be necessary to tell the truth about Borodino and about the betrayal of Alexander the First...

The ruler is weak and crafty,

Bald dandy, enemy of labor,

Accidentally warmed by fame,

Then he reigned over us…

How terribly everything is shaping up for Russia. Everyone is already fed up with this bald ghoul, but they still won’t remove him. They are afraid. Afraid not even of him, but of each other. They don’t trust each other, they are afraid that they will betray each other, run and snitch. Or maybe they are not even afraid, but know for sure that they will betray you and snitch on you. Shouldn't they know each other's worth? These are the “best people in the city”... The dragon spent a long time selecting them.

Selected people. Traitors, rats, provocateurs. All intertied. Everything is so totally in blood and robbery. They hate each other, but they tolerate nothing. Whoever blinks first will be torn apart. Die today, and I die tomorrow. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, my dears... That’s why the coffins are coming and will continue to arrive for a long time... If the Ukrainian Armed Forces don’t stop them, they themselves won’t stop.

There are conflicting signals coming from Washington and Berlin regarding ATACMS and TAURUS. Either some unnamed sources in the White House report that this issue will not be resolved at the meeting between Zelensky and Biden, or on the contrary, US Secretary of State Blinken and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at a joint press conference on the results of joint negotiations radiate optimism about this and make it clear that a solution is not far off.

Moreover: Blinken made, in my opinion, a sensational statement at this press conference. He, commenting on the possibility of providing ATACMS missiles, noted that how the Ukrainians use these weapons “is their business,” and that “they themselves must decide what can be most effective in restoring their territorial integrity. As a matter of our own policy, we do not encourage or allow the use of our weapons systems outside of Ukraine. But again, this is Ukraine’s decision.”

This is radically different from the previous position of the United States and Germany. Previously, they used an ultimatum to demand from Ukraine guarantees that the weapons transferred to it would not be used on Russian territory. And they even planned to make some adjustments to the missile computers and their software, which would, in principle, exclude the possibility of firing them outside Ukraine. And here goes: it turns out that they just “don’t encourage” this, but, in principle, it is the decision of Ukraine itself how to use them.

Zaluzhny, having heard this, probably remembered an old joke about Poruchik Rzhevsky: “And then I got such a card!” He knows exactly how to use them to destroy the infrastructure on Russian territory serving this war: oil depots, refineries, railway junctions, airfields, bridges, substations...

Everything within a radius of 500 km will be within reach. And without fuel, a tank is a pile of metal. The Urals and KAMAZ won’t go, and a plane and a helicopter won’t fly, and a ship won’t go to sea... Will Putin fight a lot with a logistics shoulder of more than 500 km one way? What a blow for the old man...

It's time to get Dmitry Medvedev out of his drinking bout so that he can once again write some furious post that a nuclear strike on decision-making centers is imminent. Well, let’s face it. What else can be done against such treachery except to frighten the enemies with old Dmitry’s brain farts? This is oh so frustrating …
