Western Propaganda Will Keep Saying Ukraine Is Winning As Long As The FUDsters Are Naive Enough To Believe It

 

In the opening speech at the European defence and security summit, EU Commissioner for Defence and Space Policy Andrius Kubilius said on Tuesday in Brussels that Ukraine is gaining the upper hand on the battlefield, in the air and at sea, while Ukrainian drones have stopped Russia’s ground advance and are causing serious disruptions to Russian logistics.

The commissioner also claimed that Ukrainian drones can paralyse the supply of the Russian army up to 300 kilometers from the front lines.

According to the EU commissioner, Ukraine is no longer just a beneficiary of international subsidies, but also contributes to the protection of other countries.

Kubilius said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is reacting to Ukrainian successes with increasingly desperate attacks. He cited last week’s attack on the Kyiv monastery as an example, which he called an attack on culture, religion and civilisation.

According to the commissioner, Russia continues to pose a threat to Europe’s security, and Moscow may be able to test NATO’s Article 5, which establishes collective defence. At the same time, he emphasised that Ukraine’s successes do not mean the end of the war, nor do they mean that Russia is weak. Casualty figures released by the United Nations expose the lies of NATO and the EU.

Unfortunately, the parade of uninformed and paid FUDsters will continue as long as EU member states are willing to spaff millions of Euros on keeping up the propaganda campaign which has broadcast the message that Ukraine is winning since day one of the war. The tacked on goal to the SMO is the formation of a buffer or security zone along the Russia/Ukraine border whose required depth keeps expanding with every advance in drone capabilities. Soon, all of Ukraine will need to be turned into a security zone.
 
Scott Ritter’s return from Russia and the experiences he’s related brings up the two schools of thought present within Russia that look beyond the SMO to NATO’s antics–and we must recall that the Outlaw US Empire remains in charge of NATO, which is crucial to our understanding of the situation. One school of thought says the EU portion of NATO is killing itself and thus doesn’t need to be shot dead now. The other school says the EU portion of NATO must be shot dead now to ease Russia’s situation. Both schools seem to agree that NATO’s efforts to improve Ukraine’s position on the battlefield are useless, thus it’s the issue of NATO’s aid in terrorism that must be halted. 
 
Recently, Putin said to top graduates from military universities that Russia must prepare to shoot the EU dog dead, while Lavrov pounds the fact of the EU becoming Nazi, with both using the 85th anniversary of Barbarossa as additional weight for their remarks.

 There is no shortage of data available to arrive at a more rational conclusion about what is likely to happen over the next few months. Russia’s attrition strategy will continue as that’s where it has the most decisive advantage. 

The see-saw nature of drone advancements that provide each side a short window of advantage will continue. Russia’s massive advantage in total firepower will continue to exert its influence. It must be noted that Ukraine must fire a massive number of drones–up to 1000–just to get a few leakers that provide the black smoke used in its propaganda. Yes, Russian civilians do die on a daily basis from NATO terrorism, and that provides the kill the dog now school of thought’s argument. The validity of that argument means the nature and condition of EU/NATO leadership needs to be examined. 

As he said, Russia is still able to produce weapons and drones in large quantities, so Europe must prepare to strengthen its own defence capabilities.

Unfortunately the parade of uninformed and ignorant keyboard warriors have made up their minds which side is wearing the white hat in this war, and are quite willing to believe every scrap of propaganda nonsense that tells them Ukraine is winning and turn their backs on the evidence of what Zelensky and his corrupt cronies are doing to Ukraine as they enrich themselves by skimming off the $billions being donated (mostly unknowingly) by European, American and British taxpayers.

Ukraine is not winning. It is doubtful that Ukraine will be able to exist as a nation after the war eventually ends, having sacrificed a generation of young men in a pointless war. Western weapons, aimed and fired by western 'support technicians have inflicted damage on Russia, but throughout most of that vast country it;s business as usual with the occasional whizzbang to liven things up as another Ukrainian drone swarm is destroyed by guys on the ground with sniper rifles.

Iran Tightens Grip On The Gulf As Mosquito Fleet Bites Foreign Commercial Oil Tankers

 

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi today (12 March 2026) denied reports that Iran was laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Takht-Ravanchi's remarks come days after the US said it had struck multiple Iranian vessels, including 16 minelaying vessels operating near the Strait of Hormuz.

"Some countries have already talked to us about passing the Strait, and we have cooperated with them," the Deputy FM was quoted as saying by AFP. "As far as Iran is concerned, we feel that those countries that joined the aggression should not benefit from safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz."

News sources in the middle east report that India has agreed passage for 28 ships through the strait, but this is not confirmed.

UK Defense Secretary John Healey said the reports had become "clearer and clearer that the Iranians may have started mining in the strait."

 Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba says the closure of the Strait of Hormuz should be continued as a tool to pressure the enemy as reports from Reuters and other international sources suggested Iran has begun marine mine laying operations to further block sea traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

He additionally stated that "all US bases should immediately be closed in the region and those bases should be attacked." 

Attacks on US bases in the Gulf region and as far away as the Mediterranean have been ongoing this week, as the cross Gulf drone and missile strikes continue, most recently in northern Iraq, and around Erbil. 

On the question of base attacks, he claimed that Iran "only" targets military bases and sites, and says this will continue. However, he did try to assure angry Gulf neighbors, who have been pummeled by Iranian missiles and drones for close to two weeks now, that Iran believes in "friendship with our neighbors". 

The message, which may have been released in response to reports that the Ayatollah had been seriously injured in a bomb strike and was in a coma, further praises 'martyrs' of the Islamic Republic and is one that emphasizes Iran is not backing down, despite the immense daily US-Israeli bombings so the economic outlook for the west is grim as we face a months long oil and energy crisis. 

He also 'thanked' regional militias for their 'support' - at a moment Shia Iraq militant groups are said to be launching strikes on US targets inside neighboring Iraq. Ominously, the new Ayatollah is warning of opening "other fronts". 

Elsewhere in The Gulf two oil tankers were struck overnight in the Gulf asas Iran intensified its attacks on foreign ships across the region. The vessels were reportedly hit by small, fast, remote-controlled boats on Iran's Mosquito Fleet, in effect marine drones laden with explosives. The attack took place in Iraqi waters, with footage showing one of the tankers ablaze.

Picture: screen grab from AFP

Iraqi authorities said oil Iraqi ports had “completely stopped” operations following the attack, hours after Donald Trump insisted the United States had already won the war.

The attacks sent oil prices soaring  on Thursday, with crude hitting more than $100 (£80) a barrel, despite record releases of strategic crude reserves to dampen one of the worst oil shocks since the 1970s. New threats of an attack on Iran's vital Kharg Island oil terminal by  Trump have been taken as proof that the US leadership has gone mad. 

The two tankers - carrying cargos of extremely flammable naphtha and condensate,  - were attacked while present in loading area.Tanker ZEFYROS was scheduled to head to Khor Al-Zubair Port on March 12 to load additional 30,000 tons shipment of naphtha. This incident negatively affects Iraq’s security and economy and also represents a threat to safety of maritime navigation and oil activities within Iraqi territorial waters, SOMO says.

According to an Iraqi port official speaking to the Reuters news agency, authorities have successfully evacuated 25 crew members from the two ships. Despite these efforts, the fires have remained ablaze on both vessels.

One tanker, which was flying a foreign flag, is believed to be American, though its specific nationality has not been confirmed. The attack took place within Iraq’s territorial waters, but no group has claimed responsibility for the incident.

It turns out that perhaps the area is not as "safe" as President Trump said it was. And as a reminder, the US Navy already said it was 'too dangerous' to escort tankers through still.

As a result of these hits on tankers, Iraq one of the first Persian Gulf majors to start reducing oil production after the near-closure of Hormuz, closed its oil ports,  followed by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as Iran tightened its grip on the entrance to the Gulf. The cuts forced forced the International Energy Agency to act with a co-ordinated release of 400 million barrels — a historic drawdown that is significantly higher than the volume that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Oil prices are surging higher on the news with WTI back above $91 - now up on the week and 20% higher than yesterday's lows.

Ukraine Claims More Hits On Airbase, Defense Factories Deep Inside Russia - Invites More Russian Retaliation

 

Last night Ukrainian forces overnight targeted key Russian sites with more drone attacks, while simultaneously Russian cruise missiles were fired against Kiev and other regions of Ukraine, killing at least four and wounding twenty in the Ukrainian capital.

"Kyiv came under another attack involving drones and ballistic missiles. Rescuers are responding to the aftermath at several locations across the city," the State Emergency Service of Ukraine announced on Telegram. Russia allegedly fired over 400 projectiles into Ukraine, though most were said to be downed by air defenses. On the other side, two airbases, a fuel depot and aviation were reportedly struck deep in Russia overnight.

As usual Boggart Blog adds the caveat that this is propaganda from both sides and while we accept there were air strikes we should be sceptical about any claims regarding their scale or success.

Stupid Ukrainians. It can’t be in the nation's interests to get even more hammered yet they keep provoking Russia by escalating the conflict. Unfortunately Russian strikes of increasing ferocity is probably the only way to stop the war. However there is unlikely to be any end to the fighting as long as the Ukies are stupid enought to let themselves be played by their so called allies.  

 The USA/EU/NATO psychos are bound and determined to start this major war but want Russia weakened first. So they are arming Ukraine and hoping prolonged war will bring about regime change, economic chaos and civil unrest in Moscow. That might happen, but they might wind up igniting WWIII as well. They created WWI and WWII, so it seems fitting; a pattern. Hold on to your hats folks, as we're headed for chaos, death and destruction. 

The only people that should be attacked and dispensed with are OUR LEADERS (and the evil bad actors in the background). Same old story... "we the people" don't act, and then we get shat on.

Storm Shadow for Ukraine? Starmers Says Yes, Uncle Sam Says No

Ukraine's President Zelensky, after meeting UK Prime Minister and current warmonger in chief 'Sir' Keir SStürmer has ben relying on on Britain to lead the charge of the Allies to be first to supply the Ukie madmen with weapons enabling then to strike targets deep within Russian territory. 

It is true Starmer has said he wants the UK to 'lead he world' in giving the Ukies the support they need to start World War Three but the crazy Labour leaders also wants his country to lead the world in achieving net zero and several other policies whivh can only result in the destruction of civilised society. 

 Ukraine's reason for seeking long range missiles from its allies is they need to be able to strike Russian cities in order to holding off the Russian invasion and thence to preventing the destruction of schools and hospitals. Taken at face value this souds admirable, but it is a measure of how stupid the Ukie leadership is that they cannot see such an esclation would only provoke Russia into unleashing their heavy bombers and most powerful missiles against Ukrainian civilians. 

 Significantly that The USA has emphatically denied Ukraine using US long range missiles in Russia. Only last week, during Zeensky's meeting with representatives of Kiev's major allies, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin pushed back on the idea that long-range strikes would be a game-changer. “I don’t believe one capability is going to be decisive and I stand by that comment,” Austin said. 

The Ukrainians have other means to strike long-range targets, he said, persumably referring to Ukraine's long lange drones which fly under the radar and have on several occasions struck military and infrastructure targets deep inside Russia.

 The problem with supplying more sophisticated long range missiles is that they need to be programmed, targeted and launched by military personnel from the source nation, and that would amount to a declaration of war by NATO on Russia.

Furthermore it is no clear what schools and hospitals Zelensky was speaking of. The military academy Poltava where 720 was killed was a legitimate military target and other incidents involving injury to civilians have invoved Ukie hits on targets in Russia as well as vice versa..

These missiles are not new technology but modified versions of the French Scalp missiles which came into service in 1994 but are based on the even older Apache anti - runway missile. They have bbeen used throughout most of this year in Donbass but so far have done nothing to slow Russia's advance in Donbass. The other big question is how many do we have and how many can we produce? Judging from the artillery shell debacle. If Storm Shadow/Scalp was effective and immune to Electronic Warfare there would be no Kerch bridge, but there it is standing and functioning erfectly even after all the threats it would soon be soon gone from the usual pr opagandists in our MSM.

Lastly why on earth would Russia have any territorial ambitions in EU and U.K. as the Warmonger cult and the Zelensky fan club claim?

The other ludicrous claim made by thw War Forever cult is that if the Ukies don’t defeat Russia, Putin plans to conquer the whole of Ukraine and continue to advance unil ll of Europe is under Russian rule. This is beyond stupid, even if Russia's leaders had any such ambitions the nation does not have the manpower to subjugate 500 million people and the Eurozone economic area is already crumbling economically, so why would Russia want to subsidise western and Central Europeans in over 30 nation states at least helf of whivh are economic basket cases?

Russia is making good money to this day being the largest Natural Gas supplier to EU despite European governments pretending they won’t buy any hydrocarbons from Russia. Germany is worse off then before the Plandemic, mainly due to the Nordstream pipeline sabotage the French are doing terribly and U.K. can’t afford helping their old folks not dying from hypothermia and basically fighting freedom of expression and dissent from ge. nder and im mi gration.

The west today has conveniently forgotten the cold war ersa and is living on peoples recency bias and heavy reality distortion in the MSM, most of which is still plugging the 'Ukraine is winning' narrative.

What any move to help Bellendsky escalate the conflict again could finally Putin into ordering mass mobilisation. Any mass disaffection this may have produced amongst the Russian population, would likely be mitigated after a few stray Storm Shadows hit apartment blocks in Rostov or Voronezh, as they are bound to do.

 This may finally allow the Russians to steamroller the Ukrainians all the way to the Dnipro. It would change the war, for sure- just not in the way Zelensky and his fan club among world leaders would hope. Given we have essentially zero missile defences, this is not a bet I would be keen to lay odds on.

Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA

Kursk Nuclear POwer Plan - Picture: Krister Larsson, Telegram

As the increasingly desperate Ukie invasion force, currently pinned down by Russian artillery fire just a few dozenkilometers from the Kursk nuclear power plant in Russian territory, there are fears there could be a major nuclear disaster.

“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops.

He added that he had been shown evidence of  damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.

“I was told today that there have been several cases of drone attacks on the site (the site of the Kursk nuclear power plant), on the facilities. The fact that there is fighting a few kilometers away from the nuclear power plant raises great concerns and anxiety about the security system,” Grossi added.

He stressed that in no circumstances should a nuclear power plant be a target for military action, nor should it be used by either side for military purposes. The director general also said that the security systems of a plant must be fully operational in all circumstances.

Grossi noted that the IAEA delegation was shown the traces of the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk nuclear power plant. Based on the evidence his team gathered, he said there could be no doubt that Ukraine carried out these strikes and where they came from.

Rusian president Vladimir Putin also announced on Thursday that Ukraine had attempted a drone strike on the Kursk nuclear power plant.

Grossi, who reported that he had visited the reactor hall, the engine room, and the control room of an operating power plant unit — as well as the spent nuclear fuel storage faciliy — found that the Kursk plant was operating at what is very close to “normal” mode.

He stressed that the IAEA, and not the host nation, is responsible for maintaining nuclear safety and security in , in what can only be seen as a rebuke to the irresponsible, trigger happy Ukie leadership, thatnuclear installations worldwide. He said that he had accepted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to visit the Kursk nuclear power plant with his team to assess the situation personally and to find solutions together with his Russian counterparts. Earlier in the day, the IAEA director general was received by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
 

Grossi said he intends to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky next week to discuss, among other things, the situation at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and the IAEA’s intention to extend its observer presence to other nuclear facilities in Ukraine, as requested by Kyiv.

Any warnings he gives in Kiev are likely to fall on deaf ears, e have seen throughout this conflict that the Ukies are prepared to be utterly irresponsible in their behaviour as they try to provoke Moscow into an act so outrageous it will bring the USA and NATO into direct conflict with Russia.

On the question of whether the Ukrainian side could be building a dirty bomb, Grossi said that the IAEA was present at all nuclear facilities in Ukraine and saw no sign of any leakage of materials for the assembly of such a device.

A statement from the Kursk Nuclear Poer Station’s press service on Tuesday quoted deputy director of personnel Vayim Yelekhich as saying that Russian special services are taking all security measures to ensure maximum protection of the facility and that they are in control of the situation, keeping operating conditions under control. Artyom Sarov, deputy director of the Information Policy Department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, said that background radiation in the Kursk region was normal.

Silicon Valley Business Model Threatened As Wireless Carriers Start Blocking Online Ads

Game Changer US Tank Was Taken Down And Torched By A Cheap Russian Drone

This report is based on Russian sources as no other information is available. Destruction of the Abrams tank is verified but other details cannot be confirmed from independent sources.

 The headline making news from Ukraine this week was the destruction of a US made Abrams M1 Tank, hyped as an invincible front line weapon and a game changer in the was between Ukraine and Russia, was destroyed only days after entering service.

Picture: Daily Mail. It is not known if this is the actual tank destroyed by the drone because information from both sides in bthe war has always been unreliable.

Ukraine Spends $5 Million To Shoot Down A $25,000 Drone

The Economics of Air Defense

A lot happened in the last week in the Ukraine War. In this post, we’ll look at one incident that may shed some light on the economics of the conflict. Following that, a note about avoiding head fakes in in war and markets by keeping your eye on the big picture.

After the Ukrainian attack on the Kerch Strait Bridge last weekend, Russia responded with massive missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian targets starting on Monday. The drones were primarily Iranian Shahed-136 Kamikazes (re-christened as Geran-2 by Russia).

Cost estimates I’ve seen for these drones vary from about $20,000 to $25,000 each. They’re literally powered by lawnmower engines (presumably, because Iran has limited access to engines due to U.S. sanctions), though in the video above, it looks like they get an initial rocket boost off their launchers.

Despite being loud and slow, they apparently have been quite effective, so the Ukrainian Air Force sent up a MiG-29 fighter to shoot one down.

A MiG-29 apparently costs something between $5 million and $12 million, incidentally.

In this case, the MiG successfully shot down the drone, but shrapnel from the explosion of the drone hit the MiG’s cockpit, forcing the pilot to eject. You can see wreckage of the MiG HERE.

So the Ukrainians sacrificed a $5 million+ plane to shoot down a $25,000 drone. If this sounds like it may be an unrepresentative example, consider that we’ve already given the Ukrainians aid equal to Russia’s entire military budget for 2021. ... CONTINUE READING >>>

Has Putin Has Pushed Europe Into Economic Depression, Hyperrinflation and Currency Collapse?
Though it was entirely predictable and indeed had been expected for some time, the news over the weekend that the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which feeds gas from Russia to northern Europe via The Baltic route had been shut down completely by The Kremlin in retaliation for the continued financial and military support given by NATO and EU member states to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia. The European Commission, governing body of the EU, immediately put the community on something close to a war footing, ...

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?

To prolong the slaughter? ...

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

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