WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

Text:
🇩🇪 Dissatisfaction with the generals, the government and zelensky personally is growing among Ukrainian soldiers, BILD writes after communicating with Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers.

The generals are reproached for their “imprudence” and lack of communication between neighboring units.

"Each unit fights for itself. Sometimes in complete ignorance of the squad to the right and left of them, sometimes even in competition with them,” says the fighter.

Complaints are voiced to the government regarding insufficient provision for soldiers.

"We defend our country, risk our lives, and in the end we pay for equipment, rent, food and car repairs ourselves. What happens to all the money coming in from abroad? We feel more and more abandoned by the government,” another fighter said.

Soldiers even pay for vehicle repairs and gasoline out of their own pockets, and buy drones and spare parts for them.

“We also pay rent for the houses we sleep in and food. This causes dissatisfaction. The Russians put everything into the war, and we organize most of it ourselves,” says the soldier.

The fighters are also unhappy that they get to the front in fifty-year-old Ladas, while the leadership “proudly points to the surviving Western tanks.” - FRWL reports

Woops! Russian EW has jammed NATO SAR satellites from taking accurate portraits of Russian radars in Crimea

:russia: And so on the 24th, the European satellite Sentinel-1 tried to take an image of Sevastopol in the radar range - only then a surprise awaited it.

The Sentinel is equipped with a radar that allows it to form an image of the earth's surface even in conditions of interference. This radar operates at a frequency of 5.405 GHz. Accordingly, any radiation (primarily from military radars) at close frequencies creates interference for the satellite radar.

But in the photo it is clearly not interference from the operation of one or more radars, but the result of the operation of an electronic warfare complex, jamming the radar frequency with counter interference over a huge area.

Of course, this will not save you from optical monitoring, but the ability to “turn off” satellite radars is worth a lot. Low bow to the electronic warfare service and engineers! 7:14 AM · Nov 29, 2023

Putin: Our battle for sovereignty and justice is, without any exaggeration, of a national liberation nature. Because we are defending the security and well-being of our people, the supreme, historical right to be Russia - a strong, independent power, a country of civilization. It is our country, the Russian world, as it has happened many times in history, has blocked the way of those who claim today for world domination, for their exclusivity. We are fighting now for the freedom not only of Russia, but of the whole world. We openly say that the dictatorship of one hegemon - we see it, everyone sees it now - is getting decrepit. It has gone, as they call it, to pieces and is simply dangerous for others. This is already clear to the world majority. But I repeat - it is our country that is now at the forefront of the formation of a more just world order. And I would like to emphasize that no lasting and stable world order is possible without a sovereign, strong Russia.

• Larry Johnson (fmr CIA): How the West Misjudged Russia:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HKqHswsufEs

This is a a bit of a peripheral topic, but I do know something about it — and it's becoming quite a major factor now for the unfortunate Ukrainian soldiers. :flower:

Frostbite is serious, and often results in the necessary amputation of fingers, toes, or entire feet. And if gangrene sets in, that can kill. It's not a matter of 'warming up again', as badly frostbitten flesh is dead and can't be revived. (Gangrene is when the dead flesh then starts to 'go rotten'.) Many media reporters don't fully understand how severe and dangerous a problem all this is. Frostbite is far more than just being 'really cold'.

If one's in freezing, wet and windy conditions, wearing thick gloves to protect one's hands and fingers, one can't operate machinery (or even a rifle) like that. And when bare flesh is in tight gripping contact with very cold metal, maybe for minutes on end, often the fingers just can't recover. Even just 5 minutes of fingers-on-metal in a wet, windy blizzard can sometimes be too much to recover from.

And with feet (where damp + cold is the issue, often made worse if the boots are too tight), one of the problems is that one's toes and feet just go numb — with no actual pain felt at all — and the frostbite isn't noticed until maybe much later when (or if!) one gets to take off one's boots to try to warm up one's feet. Then, also, it's all too late.

Meanwhile, with their troops in exactly the same conditions, the Russians are the best winter mountaineers in the world (which is how come I know about some of this) and they fully understand the importance of excellent personal winter equipment — and have the resources to manufacture and distribute as much as is needed.

One can ignore almost all the media reports about 'Russians with frostbite'. But if this is a tough winter, the poorly-equipped Ukrainians will not be able to withstand this.

Alexander Dugin: “We will have won in Ukraine when we have taken over half the country and our boots have reached Hungary and Poland”

November 29, 2023

https://i0.wp.com/www.frontnieuws.co...96%2C442&ssl=1

Alexander Dugin, the key advisor and mentor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, outlined Russia's real goal in Ukraine, which is to take over half the country and allow Russian troops to reach as far as Hungary and Poland.

The Russian objective goals were revealed in his interview with P. Volkov for the portal Ukraina.ru and as he said, Russia favored by the crisis in Israel must again expand in the areas of Novorossiya (New Russia), that is to say to become an empire again, reports Pronews .

He added that this will be done by rejecting both the capitalism of the Anglo-Saxons and the existing socialism of the Bolsheviks.

The Palestinian conflict dramatically changed the geopolitical situation. By then Ukraine had huge support, Russia was at war with NATO.

Now, however, new dangers have emerged for the West, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, and then there is Taiwan.

Therefore, Ukraine is no longer the only front in the struggle of the unipolar Western world against the multipolar one.

“New battle lines are emerging and the Ukraine issue is shifting from the exclusive front to the rear, where Zelensky finds himself in a very difficult position.”

Dugin said that a victory over all of Ukraine is necessary for the liberation of Novorossiya.



“However, a small victory, which will not really be a victory, could be seen as the annexation of the four regions that Russia now controls.”

According to Dugin, this is not even… little, but “a failure and defeat in the eyes of our society, which has already shed so much blood.”

If half of Ukraine, with Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk, perhaps with Sumy and Chernigov, passes into Russian territory, this will be a victory.

Then Putin's Russian geopolitical mentor said:

“I am absolutely convinced that there is no other way out than the Empire and Orthodoxy, a strong global pole with the preservation of classical civilization and the classical worldview, in contrast to the modern degenerate West.

But until our boots reach the borders with Poland and Hungary, it is pointless to talk about economics and ideology – no one will listen to us.

Only after a crushing military victory will they take us seriously.

If we defeat the West in Ukraine, we will confirm with actions that we are a sovereign pole, the pole of a multipolar world.
If not, we're done for. Then we will be erased from history.

It all starts with geopolitics. To become an empire, as Brezhinsky said, Russia must control Ukraine.

Geopolitics is linked to ideology: The more we consider ourselves sovereign, the more we will turn to our roots, to our views, which we gave up 100 years ago mainly because of the Bolsheviks.

For a hundred years we have essentially betrayed ourselves, first by giving up religion, Orthodoxy and the Tsar, and then by giving up social justice, by supporting a very specific Soviet culture.

We betrayed the Empire, we betrayed the Russian world, we betrayed our identity and now we must restore it.

The Empire we will build when Ukraine is liberated must have a completely independent ideological, political and social structure, based on different phases of Russian history.

There will be elements of orthodoxy and supremacy, and necessarily social justice, during the Soviet period this was the main demand of the Russian people and other peoples of Russia.

There will be no capitalism. Capitalism is an Anglo-Saxon Western model that destroys everything.

Capitalism is not just a market society, but a market society where everything is sold, where everything is bought, where there is only one class – the bourgeoisie. Capitalism is the essence we are fighting against.

Just like the materialism of communism.

We must return to ourselves, because returning to God is not a return to the past, it is a return to the eternal.

This devil with whom we are fighting today in Avdiivka, in Hershon, in Bakmuth, believes that there is no eternity.
And we are the soldiers of eternity.”

Scott Ritter: The end of American nuclear superiority
November 29, 2023

https://i0.wp.com/www.frontnieuws.co...96%2C480&ssl=1

On November 1, the US Air Force was forced to explosively end the test flight of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) . This meant the missile blew up in mid-air after showing unspecified anomalies in flight to technicians monitoring its progress.

The test launch, conducted by the US Air Force's Global Strike Command, is part of routine and periodic activities designed to demonstrate that the United States' nuclear deterrent is safe, reliable and effective against threats to the United States, according to the Air Force. deter 21st century and reassure our allies,” writes Scott Ritter .

The U.S. Air Force maintains approximately 400 Minuteman IIIs, stored in silos and ostensibly on alert 24 hours a day to respond to any potential strategic threat directed against the United States and/or its allies. The Minuteman III is the land component of the 'nuclear triad' of US strategic deterrence (the other two being the sea component of Trident missiles aboard Ohio-class submarines and the air component of specially designated B-52 and B-2 manned bombers ).

The Minuteman III was developed in 1968, an improvement on the original 1958 Minuteman I missile design. It became operational in 1970. Originally designed to carry three independently targeted nuclear warheads, the Minuteman III was fitted with a single warhead as part of the now defunct START II treaty, which was ratified by both the US and Russia but never entered into force.

Although the New START Treaty still in effect does not limit the number of warheads the Minuteman III can carry, the previous treaty's warhead limitations mean that the Minuteman III continues to be equipped with a single warhead, although the US Air Force routinely conducts test flights with Minuteman III missiles equipped with three nuclear warheads.

The Minuteman III is planned to be replaced from 2029 by a new generation of American land-based ICBMs, the Sentinel. Some Minuteman III missiles will remain in service until the Sentinel is fully deployed sometime in the mid-to-late 2030s.

Sometime last year, a British Vanguard submarine carrying 16 nuclear-armed Trident II missiles suffered a mechanical failure during diving operations that, if not corrected, could have led to a catastrophe for the 140 crew members on board at the time .

The Vanguard-class submarines (four were built) entered service in 1993 and are currently scheduled to be replaced by the new Dreadnaught-class missile submarine sometime in 2030. The Vanguard represents the entirety of the UK's nuclear deterrent force. In 2017, a Vanguard-class submarine conducted a failed test launch of a Trident II missile that was kept secret from the British Parliament amid heated debates over the future of Britain's independent nuclear deterrent.

The failures of the aging US and British strategic nuclear deterrent force contrast with a series of successful tests carried out by their Russian counterparts, including the recent launches of a modern Bulava missile from a new Borei-class submarine, a Yars ICBM-equipped with an advanced Avangard hypersonic warhead, and the successful test launch of a new nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile (the Russians are also not immune to testing fiascos, as evidenced by the failure of a Sarmat heavy ICBM earlier this year).

The release of a new generation of Russian strategic nuclear missiles puts pressure on both the US and UK to push through expensive modernization programs at a time when competition for funding has created domestic political challenges in both nations.

Missing arms control framework

Complicating matters further is the lack of a viable arms control framework to prevent the rush to deploy new strategic systems by all three nations from exploding into an arms race that could undermine the strategic balance of power that has existed for decades. destabilize. Citing the incompatibility of strategic arms control with the US at a time when Washington's official policy is to strategically defeat Russia, Moscow has suspended its participation in the New START Treaty.

The New START Treaty expires in February 2026. Although both Russia and the US have indicated their interest in a follow-on treaty that would maintain the strategic balance that existed under New START, the lack of ongoing contact between US and Russian arms control negotiators it is highly unlikely that a new treaty instrument will be ready in time to replace New START.

But the fact is that Russia is unlikely to pursue such an option even if it were possible. Based on a series of conversations with senior Russian officials well versed in strategic nuclear policy, Russian officials are no longer interested in trying to patch up an arms control relationship with the US based on the legacy of the Cold War. The prevailing sentiment in Russia is that the US has negotiated in bad faith over the years and sought to use arms control as a means to maintain US strategic dominance rather than nuclear parity and stability.

When treaties are negotiated that provide a minimum of mutual benefit, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the INF (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) Treaty, the US will withdraw as soon as the treaty is deemed incompatible with US strategic objectives, such as missile defense or responding to developments outside the framework of the treaty (such as Chinese missile systems that are not covered by the INF Treaty).

The Russians believe that the strategic arms reduction treaties, individually and collectively, were never designed to achieve nuclear parity, but rather to maintain US nuclear superiority. The New START Treaty has been pointed out as an example of US duplicity, where the Obama administration kept missile reduction issues separate from missile defense, promising to address both separately, and then walking away from missile defense once the missile reduction treaty ( New START) had been ratified.

When New START expires in 2026, Russia positions itself to continue its current nuclear modernization programs without any restrictions from the treaty. This will complicate both the US and UK nuclear modernization efforts because their follow-on capabilities, being developed at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, will be inferior to the systems Russia is developing.

Russia will not accept any negotiating process that seeks to destroy its strategic advantage, especially as long as the US and its Western allies embrace policies that portray Russia as a strategic enemy and seek Russia's strategic defeat.

If there is any hope for a revival of nuclear arms control between the US and Russia, it will not happen through a means that perpetuates the legacy of the Cold War.

Instead, a new strategic relationship based on modern realities will have to emerge, with the US either having to spend enormous amounts of money to achieve nuclear parity with Russia or negotiating from a position of strategic inferiority.

The time of undisputed American nuclear superiority is over.

Whether American policymakers can adapt to these new circumstances remains to be seen. But if they don't, it will only lead to an inevitable arms race that the US cannot win and the consequences of which could be fatal for the entire world.

Russian MoD Fears Ukraine May Resort to Biological Warfare Following Counteroffensive's Failure Yesterday

https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/im...2b671.jpg.webp

Kiev may resort to the use of biological weapons following the failure of its summer counteroffensive, Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia's Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops, has warned.

"Due to the fact that Ukraine's Armed Forces have by and large failed to achieve any serious successes during their so-called counteroffensive, the Russian Defense Ministry expects a shift in their activity toward non-standard forms of warfare, including the use of biological weapons. This may include the deliberate contamination of water resources, including drinking water, the contamination of food supplies and animal feed," Kirillov said at a briefing Tuesday.

Russia has already uncovered "indirect evidence" of such activities, Kirillov emphasized, citing the discovery of "a large number of strains of thermal cultures, as well as frozen biological media for the cultivation of bacterial and viral pathogens," all from American collections.

Russia's RCBD Troops spent months after February 2022 revealing the dramatic extent of US military-biological activities in Ukraine, uncovering documents and other evidence pointing to a network of nearly four dozen biolabs alleged to be involved in the development of a dizzying array of bioweapons, including strains of viruses designed to target specific races or ethnic groups, and research into the modification of local flora and fauna as a form of economic warfare against an adversary. Beyond Ukraine, the RCBD Troops uncovered American and German research into an assortment of deadly viruses across the globe, from Africa and Asia and Latin America.

The RCBD Troops' revelations have reported led the United States to scale back its military-biological activities across the planet, and have prompted some Western media to independently investigate the Russian military's claims to independently verify the allegations. For instance, after a briefing by Kirillov implicating a hedge fund linked to President Joe Biden's son Hunter in a private-public partnership scheme funding shady biological research in Ukraine, British media dug through files from Hunter's so-called "laptop from hell," corroborating Russia's claims.
US officials themselves have also indirectly confirmed the presence of deadly biological research in Ukraine, with under-secretary of state Victoria Nuland telling senators last spring that Washington was "quite concerned" that Russian troops might seize "biological research facilities" in the country.

Stoltenberg Preparing NATO to Accept Russian Demands for Ukraine's Neutrality - Expert 35 minutes ago

https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/im...fe80d.jpg.webp

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has changed his rhetoric with regard to Ukraine to make it easier for alliance members to accept that Russia's demands for Kiev's neutrality will likely to be accepted in future peace talks, Belgian military expert Pierre Henrot told Sputnik.

Earlier in the week, Stoltenberg acknowledged that Ukraine had failed to advance its front line in the conflict with Russia over the past year even with NATO's "significant" support, urging the alliance not to underestimate Russia's defense capabilities.

"It has been made repeatedly clear that the first demand by Russia, if and when negotiations start, would be that Ukraine remain neutral and never enter NATO," Henrot said. "Now that it becomes evident that Ukraine is going to lose this conflict, Stoltenberg prepares the allies, especially European public opinion, to the fact that this condition of strict neutrality of Ukraine that has been continuously demanded by Russia since the early 1990s will have to be applied."

The expert to Stoltenberg repeatedly and on multiple occasions saying that Ukraine could potentially join the alliance only after the conflict. At the same time the NATO headquarters understands any negotiation will have to deal first with Russia’s demand of Kiev's strict neutrality, according to Henrot.

The NATO foreign ministers' meeting took place in Brussels from Tuesday to Wednesday to address the situation in Ukraine and the Palestine-Israel conflict.

As a result of the NATO Summit in Vilnius from July 11-12, NATO leaders agreed on a package of three elements to bring Ukraine closer to the alliance. The first element is the creation of an assistance program for Ukraine that will facilitate its transition to NATO standards, training and doctrine. The second element is the establishment of a NATO-Ukraine Council, and the third is the cancellation of the Membership Action Plan for Ukraine, which will allow Kiev's accession process to be shortened from two steps to one. However, the bloc has not extended an official invitation to Kiev.

Zelensky ally’s revelations betray motive to stage Bucha – Moscow 29 Nov, 2023

Ukraine accused Russian forces of killing civilians in a suburb of Kiev to derail a peace deal, Maria Zakharova says

Recent statements by a top Ukrainian MP show that the so-called Bucha ‘massacre’ was staged by Kiev to disrupt the peace process with Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

The two countries could have struck an agreement in March 2022 but Kiev backed out of the talks following an intervention from London, Ukrainian MP David Arakhamia claimed last week.

The apparent ‘massacre’ in Bucha made international headlines in April 2022 when Ukrainian forces supposedly found the bodies of hundreds of civilians in a suburb of Kiev that had been under the control of Russian troops, who had left the area days before as part of a “goodwill gesture” as talks continued between the two countries in Istanbul.

Kiev immediately blamed the deaths on Moscow and subsequently used the incident as one of the main reasons for its withdrawal from peace talks. Russia has repeatedly said the so-called massacre was a false-flag operation intended to tarnish its image.

“These revelations [made] by Arakhamia provide strong evidence for the fact that a provocation in Bucha was staged by Kiev as a pretext for derailing the negotiation process,” Zakharova told journalists at a regular Foreign Ministry briefing.

Arakhamia, who leads President Vladimir Zelensky’s 'Servant of the People' party in parliament, did not mention the Bucha incident directly. He told TV channel 1+1 that Moscow had essentially offered Ukraine peace in exchange for neutrality and an undertaking not to join NATO.

The Ukrainian MP, who led the Ukrainian delegation at the Istanbul talks, added that Kiev did not trust Moscow.

He noted that then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who visited Kiev in early April, told Ukrainian officials not to “sign anything” with the Russians and “just continue fighting” instead.

“It only proves once again that Zelensky’s regime is a puppet one and is totally dependent on its Anglo-Saxon puppet masters,” Zakharova said on Wednesday, referring to Washington and London.

The first reports from Bucha appeared in the Ukrainian and Western media on April 1, 2022. Zelensky visited the area a few days after those reports. At that time, he described any future talks with Russia as a “challenge,” adding that Russia’s alleged crimes “could not be forgiven.”

He still maintained that Kiev should continue to “seek opportunities” to talk with Moscow with a view to achieving peace.

On April 9, Johnson visited Kiev for the first time since the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, which had been held regularly in March, never resumed after that date.
