After Recent Russian Advances Is Moscow Preparing A Final Push To End The War?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has for most of this year been depicted in the Western media as a bloody stalemate with neither side able to achieve a decisive military breakthrough, though the usual suspects did (as usual) predict that a turning point had been reached and Ukraine was on the brink of total victory when news of the pointless and inevitably disastrous Kursk incursion broke.

Quite why the Klowns in Kiev launched this idiotic adventure which took their best troops away from defending the front line remains a mystery, the most feasible explanation being that they hoped to convince their western allies they could win if only long range missiles, modern combat aircraft and more, much more money was provided.

The west was never going to fall for it, Russia had held the battlefield advantage in southern and eastern Ukraine since mid 2023 when the much hyped but anticlimactic counteroffensive was seen to have failed. While Moscow’s territorial gains have been slow and unspectacular, the territorial gains by Putin’s army since late 2023 stand in stark contrast to the virtually static front lines of the previous year. Indeed, according to Germany’s Die Welt, Russian territorial gains during October 2024 were the largest since March 2022.

Russia’s offensive operations have focused on the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, with Putin’s troops capturing a number of towns so far this year such as Avdiivka and Vuhledar as they advance toward Pokrovsk. On top of that the heavy losses suffered in Kursk have depleted Ukraine's forces so greatly they are having difficulty in maintaing an orderly retreat

The success of Russia’s Donbas campaign owes much to Moscow’s traditional advantages in munitions and manpower, and a cautious, casualty averse, tactical approach. Casualties have been heavy on both sides, but Ukraine's dead and disabled outnumber Russia's by an estimated four to one according to unbiased sources, largely because the Ukies has repeatedly thrown troops into 'meat grinder' situations. Russia’s offensive has also benefitted from a number of tactical adaptations including the extremely effective use of glide bombs against Ukrainian defensive positions.

Because of all this the narrative is shifting, some mainstream news channel and publications are still arguing for NATO troops on the ground and Planes in the air to had Ukraine a victory, but if that happened it would be more likely to trigger World War Three that bring about the defeat of Russia that globalist in the west hoped would be the outcome of their proxy war, but others including the previously pro - war New York Times are changing the narrative.

The question nobody is asking however, is why this war is still being fought. Ukraine is not losing, it has lost, the nation has uffered or rather been condenmed to a crushing defeat from which it is unlikely to recover. As well as the dead, millions have been forced from their homes and have fled the country, and the economy is in ruins.

So rather than demonising Putin as mainstream media and political establishment have since the outset, we should remind ourselves just who is responsible for displacing millions of Ukrainians and causing the slaughter of so many young men? Russia or USA?

Who is even now shovelling millions of dollars and endless military equipment to a country’s ex-President (Zelensky cancelled elections when his term expired in the first half of this year, since then Ukraine has had no legitimate government,) just to keep a hopeless war going at the cost of thousands of Ukrainian lives?

All Russia has ever wanted was that Ukraine be barred from joining NATO and cease its ethnic cleansing operations against Russian speaking areas in eastern Ukraine.. Why should that be a problem? What has Ukraine got to do with the North Atlantic? Why could the West not keep its word by NATO not expanding “One inch eastward”? Why must NATO continually expand? Is it perhaps simply to keep the money rolling into the Military Industrial Complex, as well as rewarding globalists for their past services (former Netherlands leader Mark Rutte who, having seen his globalist government voted out of office last year, has now assumed the highly lucrative and influential role of NATO General Secretary, being an excellent example)?

Since the unprovoked attacks of the Banderite Ukrainian troops on their fellow citizens in Russian speaking provinces of eastern Ukraine before and after 2014, Russia has also demanded de-nazification of their military. Why should that be a problem?

And the West had its chance of peace in April 2022 in Istanbul when UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, acting as Biden's errand boy, passed on the message from USA that a peace was not desired, and that idiot actor, Zelensky should play the hero and lead Washington's proxy war against the Moscow regime.

And 300,000 Ukrainians are seeking Russian citizenship every year? What does that tell you?

And what happened to the recounted votes in Georgia after the EU and UN refused to acept the election result and accused Russia of rigging the vote? Strange there have been no reports contradicting the pro - Moscow Georgian Dream party’s win. But we had Ursula von der Leyen demanding that Georgians be masters of their own destiny:

“The people of Georgia have been striving and fighting for democracy. They have a right to know what happened this weekend and they have a right to see that electoral irregularities are investigated swiftly, transparently and independently. Georgians, like all Europeans, must be the masters of their own destiny.”

We also had the typical threats from USA, from Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US Dept. of State:

“We do not rule out further consequences if the Georgian government’s direction does not change,” he said, urging Tbilisi to start “withdrawing and repealing anti-democratic legislation”.

Putin has stated on many occasion he regards Ukrainians as fellow Slavs and so have his soldiers who see their fight as an existential war against the West. One hypersonic missile aimed at Kiev could have solved the problem long ago but Putin has no desire to destroy a beautiful city. His fight is with the west and the neo - Nazi pupet government installed in Kiev by a CIA engineered coup in 2013, not with the Ukrainians.

Look at the areas now under Russian control in eastern Ukraine after two and a half years of fighting. If Russia had any interest whatsoever in conquering western Europe, as professional and amateur pundits have declared on an almost daily basis since the first Russian tank crossed the border, Ukraine would have been flattened and probably Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna and Prague would have fallen by now.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable. To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this, The Daily Stirrer and many other alternative media news and analysis sites have been warning for about two years that Obama's foreign policy was making conflict inevitable.
