In War Truth Is Always The First Casualty, And That Has Never Been Truer

 

Two weeks ago, when the Ukrainian army crossed the border into Russia's Kursk region, most well informed commentstors expected the Russia army to repel the Ukrainianexpeditionary force quickly. That did not happen because Russia did not pull troops back from the Donbas front to deal with the incursion but brought troops forward to establish a new battlefront in Kursk. This took several days and gave the Ukies time to dig in, which may have been exactly what The Kremlin hoped for

Though the size of the force Ukraine had made available for the operation was initially undrrestimated it is now thought to be a numberin the range of 10,000 to 30,000. And it now appears the Ukrainian army attack has been stopped though it is still trying to expand what it holds in the very rural area while Russia surrounds it with artillery and bombards the Ukie positions.

We do not know how much truth there is in any of this of course, but while mainstream media continues to parrot the "Ukraine is winning narrative," sources on X and Telegram and a few blogs such as Moon of Alabama and The Duran tell different stories of Ukraine taking heavy losses as their leaders run round like headless chickens.

Be that as it may - the operation, even at first when it seemed audacious enough to succeed in part at least, made no sense at all either strategically or politically and did not even deliver any useful propaganda.

It gave a temporary moral high to the Ukrainian army and may have given Zelenski and the British sponsors of this operation an opportunity to guilt trip the NATO allies into privinding more support to prolong the war.

Moon of Alabama: The plan in Kiev is not to negotiate but to prolong the war and to convince the west to further finance it. This would have the advantage of moving billions of additional dollar from western sources into the various pockets in Kiev with Zelenski and Yermak cashing in the largest share of it.

But all this comes at an enormous cost to the Ukrainian defense in Donbas where Russian forces are advancing ue to Ukrainian efenders having been withdrawn for the Kursk offensive, where they are no just cannon fodder for Moscow's guns.

So what are we to make of mainstream media reports telling us the UKies are still gaining ground in Kursk while Russian forces are retreating in chaos?

 CGW posts in a Daily Sceptic comment thread:

There is a pertinent article on pseudo-reporters from the Russian Foreign Ministry, dated 19th August. It regards the presence of western reporters in the Kursk region:

“ … criminal proceedings have been instituted against a number of such representatives from foreign media outlets for illegally crossing the state border of the Russian Federation. All such incidents are carefully recorded, and appropriate action will be taken against violators.

“From the journalistic perspective, these pseudo-reporters can only be regarded as traitors to the profession who have stooped as low as direct involvement in the fabrication and dissemination of Ukrainian Nazi propaganda. The nature of the stories published following their forays, including staged videos with Bandera followers holding POWs and civilians at gunpoint and interviews with militants openly flaunting Nazi stripes, clearly indicates the true purposes of this media operation on the occupied Russian lands – to whitewash the criminal Kiev regime, conceal the crimes it commits against the civilian population, further destabilise the information landscape by manipulating public opinion, rehabilitate Nazism and create enabling climate for the West’s continued support of the terrorist Kiev clique.

“It is quite telling that when such journalists are caught demonstrating Nazi symbols (which is a criminal offence even in their own countries), they scramble to remove or retouch the compromising content. For example, Ilario Piagnerelli, with the Italian state media Rai News, has expunged an interview with a neo-Nazi militant wearing an SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler cap from his social media accounts. The journalist did not even think of apologising for his actions, but simply removed the posts, as if nothing had happened. By these manipulations, he clearly showed no sign of sincere repentance for what he did.”

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
