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. However signs are emerging that, provoked beyond tolerance by the Ukies efforts to prolong the war by bringing NATO / USA ground forces into the conflict, The Kremlin is preparing a final escalation to end the war.

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.

Western leaders Still Want To Let Ukraine Join NATO Though Even They Must Know It Would Start WW3
‘When are you going to let us use the Storm Shadow?’ a maimed Ukrainian soldier is reported to have asked Boris Johnson during the former Prime Minister's most recent visit to Ukraine. The young man was referring to the Storm Shadw missiles donated to the Ukie was effort by the UK. His comment was prompted by the mass murderer Zelensky's latest idiotic whine about the US /UK / NATO refusal to sanction the use of such missiles to strike targets deep within Russian territory.

Ukraine's President Zelensky, after meeting UK Prime Minister and current warmonger in chief 'Sir' Keir SStürmer has ben relying on Britain to lead the charge of the Allies to be first to supply Kiev 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 and several other policies whivh can only result in the destruction of civilised society.

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.

Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...

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.

Socialist Net Zero Nutters' Green Gobshite Puts £££s On Domestic Electricity Bills

 posted by Boggart Blogger, 2 November 2024

A largely unreported aspect of the Labour government's first budget in 14 years is that increaed Green levies on domestic fuel bills, ostensbly to support the transition from 'fossil fuels' to clean, green, magic electricity from cheap wind and solar power have been massively increased and will go on rising and add many hundreds of pounds to domestic consumers fuel costs.  This shock news can only be found in the details released by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). 

It is hardly worth mentioning that Chancellor Rachel Reeves' nastiest little tax hike, the one that will hit the poorest in society hardest, was completely unreported in mainstream media. It was most noticably absent from budget coverage in the publications and broadcast news from the proudly left wing organisations, those that claim to care most about protecting the poor and disadvantaged.

 The increase in subsidies for wind and solar farm operators in the fine detail of Chancellor Reeves' Budget Statement to Parliament were buried deeply its true, but the fact that nobody in mainstream media spotted this item that will in some way affect everybody in the country is an abject failure of journalism. 

Detailed figures reveal that the new levies are set to confiscate £16 billion a year from consumers from next year (2025). This is equivalent to nearly £600 a household, but the situation is only likely to get much worse with bacon sandwich regurgitating  Ed Miliband, a swivel eyed fanatic follower of the Net Zero cult, and currently UK Energy Secretary committed to a 95% renewable energy system within six years. Needless to say any increase in consumers bills is bound to hit the poorest in society hardest, how ironic then that the Labour zealots love to claim they are the party that protects the poor and vulnerable at the expense of the wealthy.

To supply a highly developed nation of over 65 million people with the energy to meet its ever growing demand for electricity based generating curent from breezes and sun beams needs some kind of reliable back-up when the weather turns against us. Earlier this week, the wind stopped blowing for a couple of days and minimal power was obtained from this source. This far north (between 50 and 58 degrees lat.) and at this time of year there is already too small a span of powerful sunlight for solar to contribute much, so between then gas and nuclear (another no no for the green lobby,)


Picture: Screenshot from Gridwatch.co.uk

As the screenshot shows, if you can enlarge it enough, on this windless but fairly bright day, gas, biomass (wood pellets,) and nuclear (clean but not green) were providing 72% of our electricity, another 12% was imported from France and Norway via undersea cables, hydro and 'other (burning household waste,) gave us 4 % while wind and solar contributed just 14%. And if you're thinking that adds up to more than 100%, we were exporting 1% to Irelad where they're in a worse situation than ourselves, and the rest is due to rounding decimals up to whole numbers

The pretence that there is any realistic back up other than a secondary gas-based system is fading fast as plans for giant battery farms, flooding half the beauty spots in our National Parks for pumped hydro systems and a lunatic idea to construct giant flywheels jave proved uneconomic, impractical and downright insane. 

Fintan Slye, the head of the operation controlling electricity supply into the grid, recently observed: “There will continue to be a significant amount of power plants in reserve for the cold, dull, windless weeks of winter, but they will run for limited periods.” To date we have yet to have sight of an official estimate of what all this might cost.

In the meantime, and it seems just for starters, British consumers have £16 billion to find every year, as the graph below compiled by Andrew Montford from Net Zero Watch shows.

The difference between OBR’s estimated cost of green levies in 2023 (red) and 2024 (blue).

Long time climate catastrophe sceptic Montford shows the estimated cost to consumers of green subsidies (mostly renewables) has rocketed in the last year and a half with estimates rising between 20% and 120%. In its report, the OBR blames the jump on the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme that compensates suppliers for low electricity prices but claws back money when rates rise above a certain level. Loosely-worded contracts seem to mean that money only flows one way into the pockets of the subsidy-hunting turbine owners.

The figures involved are staggering, 18 months ago the OBR was predicting that CfDs would save consumers nearly £10 billion between 2023-24 and 2028-29. However, six months ago, “they decided it would actually ‘cost’ us an extra £9 billion. And today they have announced that it will cost us £12 billion”, he added. Faced with these figures, the general public may recall that one of the first actions of the incoming Labour Government was to abolish an annual winter fuel allowance for older people, saving just £1.5 billion. Some might observe that such a sum is little more than a rounding error in the fantasy world of green economics and subsidies.

Unfortunately, due to the endless stream of scaremongering propaganda about imminent climat catastrophe, mass extinction events and the oceans boiling, 

Unfortunately, until it really hurts, the public will continue to believe that achiveing Net Zero is the only way to 'save the planet.'. However, when the huge  for the brave new, Net Zero world come rolling (at the same time as the inevitable power cuts start), then the penny will drop. They will witness huge bills, less electricity, babies and Grandparents dead of hypothermia. Even the lies and misinformation of politicians and mainstream media will not be able to hide that.

In just three months Ubergruppenfuhrer SStarmer's authoritarian Socialist government has thrown away any goodwill it may have had since July, although there was little genuine goodwill, SStarmer's huge majority in Parliament was mostly due to a very low voter turnout and an outdated and now grossly unfair electoral system. Labour or The British National Socialist Workers' Part as we Boggart Bloggers ptrefer to think of them, have been almost comically incompetent in all they have touched. There will be a huge backlash, perhaps starting with the farmers, the betrayal of whome we reported yesterday. However, people aren’t ready to forgive the treacherous Tories yet, they have years of work ahead.

Could our next Prime Minister be Nigel Farage or even Tommy Robinson? OO-er missis.

Net Zero Is A Dangerous Fantasy, But Scientists Believe In Fairies It Seems
With oil and gas prices rocketing and the highly propted sustainable energy sources performing way befow expectations the energy crisis currently gripping Europe (with worse to come as food shortages start to bite, polticians still seem more intent on pandering to the green lobby and chasing the dream of a fossil fuel free world rather securing the energy and food supplies needed by the people they serve.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

At around the same time it appeared that Germany's AfD party, Italy's Lega and and the Sweden Democrats had been discredited and surges in their popularity had been halted by negative propaganda campaigns while Germany's Green Party were at the height of their popularity and were hailed as Europe's great hope for a clean, net zero, woke, gay and trans friendly future.

France On The Brink - 400 Gang Members Involved In Gunfight

 

Local pundits are warning that France has reached a “tipping point” on drug-related inter - gang violence,

The gunfight, which left a teenager fighting for his life and four others seriously wounded, erupted overnight in the western city of Poitiers.

Police intervened at around 10.45pm after shots were fired outside a restaurant in the Couronneries district of the city and found the first casualty on the ground.

Treated for a bullet wound to the head, the 15-year-old was taken to hospital and was in a critical condition, a police source said. A witness said the teenager was a customer caught in the crossfire.

According to the same source, two other teenagers were shot, one in the shoulder and the other in the ankle, and were treated by the emergency services. Around ten 22-calibre shells were found on the ground by the investigators.

Bruno Retailleau, the hardline French interior minister said: “What started as a shooting at a restaurant ended up in a fight between rival gangs that involved several hundred people. I’m told by the local (state) prefect that four to six hundred people were involved although other official sources said the number was far less, (Well they would, wouldn't they?”)

The minister also warned that failure to deal with the mostly immigrant Organised Crime Networks had brought france to the brink of open warfare in the streets. 

On Friday M. Retailleau was due to visit the northwestern city of Rennes, where a five-year-old child was also on life support after being shot in the head in another shootout on related to criminal gangs drug trafficking.

He said: “These shootings are not happening in South America, they’re happening in Rennes and Poitiers. We are at a tipping point between a general mobilisation or the Mexicanisation of the country.”

This latest outbreak of gang violence follows a hard-hitting French senatorial report, which warned that the country was “submerged” by drug dealing and that President Emmanuel Macron’s response was “meagre” and “not up to the task”.

The report stated: “Contrary to the cliché that drug trafficking is the preserve of ‘no-go zones’ stretching from the northern suburbs of Marseille to ‘crack hill’ in Paris, and perhaps a few festivals, drug dealing has spread to medium-sized and even small towns and rural areas.”

With cocaine flooding France from South America via North Africa, drug use on the rise and from historic crime hubs like Marseille saturated, organised crime is fanning out to the provinces in search of a bigger slice of an annual drugs business of between €3 billion (£2.5 bn) to €6 billion (£5 bn).

Ofast, the French anti-drugs agency, warned: “From Verdun to Valence, a number of sensitive neighbourhoods in medium-sized towns have been the scene of armed clashes.”

They’ve also added that “smaller urban areas” are no longer spared “kidnappings, violence and even murder”.

It's Time Politicians Were MadeTo Admit The True Effects Of Mass Migration
Whenever the issue of mass migration is raised in public, most politiciansa probably explain the relationship between immigration and growth.

There would be no effort to be objective or present a balanced view, the two sides in the conflict would be clearly lablled

The Left is lying to itself, it needs limited migration as much as the Right does.

When Santiago Abascal, leader of Spanish right-wing party Vox, delivered a press conference on the 30th August, it did not take long for perhaps the most controversial part of his speech to be put into bite-sized form. Europe does not have moral duty to welcome or accept every Afghan or African who seeks to enter.

UK Farmers Threaten Shitfest Protests Over Labour Government's Attack On Their Industry

 by Phil T. Looker, 31 October 2024

Before the election when Labour was campaigning as the low-tax, business friendly party, the then Shadow Environment Secretary Steve Reed reassured the Country Land and Business Association conference: “We have no intention of changing Agricultural Property Relief (an exemption on inheritance tax for farm property.”) He twice confirmed Labour wouldn’t alter the tax relief as the CLA’s president stressed it would “in a single swipe would take small farms out”…

Following the government's decision to renege on this pledge which was revealed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in this weeks Budget, we hear farmers groups are already planning the kind of protests seen in EU nations last year over an EU decision to put 'Net Zero' ahead of food prouction and tax European farmers so heavily while imposing stringent restrictions on their activity many would be forced out of business.

We hear rapid efforts are currently underway to organise gilet-jaune-style protests among disparate farming groups on the back of Reeves’ budget measures, a camaingn similar to the protests last year that forced the EU to back down on plans to tax farmers. The National Farmers Union is already organising a protest rally in Westminster for Tuesday 19th November.

One protest organiser told media representatives: “We haven’t seen this kind of anger in among farmers since the Countryside March.” Co-conspirators will remember the 400,000-strong rural protests back in 2002 which threatened to topple Blair…

Alongside an expected massive petition there are likely to be organised marches. One incensed farmer tells Guido Fawkes:

“I look forward to bringing my tractor and other agricultural machinery to Whitehall, and maybe also to Labour’s conference in Liverpool next year. If Labour wants to close down family farming we’ll close down Labour first. They have lied through their teeth about supporting farmers and deserve to be held to account.”

Another says that this is “going to make food more expensive for everyone. Farming is already tough, and piling on these costs will force smaller farms out of business, which will mean fewer local options and higher prices at the store. People need to understand that when we struggle, the whole country feels it at the dinner table.” The CLA now estimates that capping APR at £1 million will affect 70,000 UK farms. The policy is predicted to have the effect of “damaging family businesses and destabilising food security.“ £1 million is a low estimate – huge farm conglomerates will be the only ones able to absorb theincreased costs of produing food.

Rural sources say if farmers and the public get their act together we should expect to see “buckets full of farmyard slurry getting dumped on parliament” before too long in a rerun of the shitfest protest staged by French farmers in Touloue last year. Reeves may come to regret this one…

How The BRICS Summit Surpassed The G7 & G20 As The World’s Most Influential Gathering

 via Great Game India

The 16th BRICS Summit, held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, wasn’t just another meeting of world leaders. It marked a turning point in global politics. For the first time, this summit was viewed as more influential globally than the meetings of the G7 or G20, which typically dominate world discussions.

This year's summit was more worthy of our attention than usual because four new countries—Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE—joined as official BRICS members in January. This move expanded BRICS beyond the original membership of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. As Russia hosted a gathering of 36 world leaders, the expanding BRICS+ initiative looks to be a growing obstacle to the hegemony US and its allies hoped to exercise.

Established in 2009, and later expanded in 2024, the BRICS+ geopolitical bloc draws its name from its original members (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) but now also includes Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the UAE.Significantly Saudi Arabia has been invited to join and has slready abandoned its committment to accept payment for oil exports only in US dollars, while others, such as Turkey, are also expected to join. Its members already constitute 45% of the world’s population and 28% of its economic output.

As such, it is often described as a geopolitical counterweight to the G7.  Russia and Iran and China are alrady collaborating to challence challenging the dominance in international trade of the dollar. The most important country is of course China, and China has been sitting on the fence over US led sanctions of Russia and Iran. The most likely reason China has held back from fully supporting the US against Russia and Iran is because Chinese state-controlled banks also do not want to be cut off from the US dollar and Wall Street.

And as long as China remains integrated in the global financial system centered on the US dollar, China is effectively the largest foreign funder of everything the US does, including sending weapons to Ukraine that are used against Russia and Taiwan that are pointed towards China.

China is of course also deeply integrated in global supply chain and trade networks,having become the wokshop of the world as net - zero obsessed wesern leaders have deindustrialised their economies, thus offshoring not only their CO2 emissions but jobs and revenue into the bargain. With the Chinese economy stuggling, any serious moves to decouple from this global dollar system could back fire disastrously.

BRICS+ is a reltively young organisation integration and coherence is rocky at best which should caution us to make any future projections based on current relationhips rather than deeper structural forces. strained relations between China and India, which significantly hampers collective BRICS action to the point of incoherence. Also, it is notable that Saudi Arabia has not yet joined along with UAE even though they said they would, and detente between the Shia Musim government of Iran and the Saudi Sunni Muslim monarchy has only taken place recently.

The original BRICS members were never as united as the G7 even without these new members.

The first step for the BRICS+ to challenge the West would be to build consensus for such a project to replace or at least seriously challence the Dollar, which does not exist, and most importantly to sell more oil in a currency other than the US dollar. And as this publication has reported extensively in the past that project is already well under way.
