When Ukraine wins an area, they simply expell the Russians. Problem solved.

This is the current state of Russian AD. And Ukraine will get blamed for the resulting civilian deaths and injuries.

France is also Ukraine's main partner in the project to develop the Freya anti-ballistic missile.

France.

Old Soviet VHF band radar. Operates around 150-160 MHz. Probably makes using handheld VHF handheld radios impossible nearby. Russia must be running short. Now they are running shorter.

Introduced in 1959 and superseded in 1982. That says something about the scale of losses of more modern radar systems, if they're bringing this antique back into service.

Shedding light on yet another layer of Kremlin propaganda, with the assistance of the NY Times -
quote:

In light of the recent data breach of [supposed Russian resistance writer] Ksenia Sobchak’s media empire, Ostorozhno Media, exposing her as working directly with Russian authorities, I want to remind everyone that this article exists.

The Kremlin keeps sending stool pigeons to the West, and Western media publishes every piece of Russian propaganda they are given and hungrily asks for more.

Every person with knowledge of the region (or more than two living brain cells) told the NYT that they were platforming a propagandist at the time the article was released. Did they listen? Nope.

Meanwhile, the interesting things we are finding out from the data breach include groveling to Kremlin censors, namely Sergey Novikov, head of the Kremlin’s Presidential Directorate for Social Projects; hard-core self-censorship on the fuel crisis in Russia; scolding her chief news editor for publishing bad remarks about Russian messenger Max, an FSB project to keep the Russian internet space under control; long talks with Margarita Simonyan; funding from the Moscow Mayor's office and state-backed corporations; and many, many more interesting things exposing Ksenia herself and her media as a complete and total Kremlin tool.

Yet, does the Western media learn anything from this? Nope. The Economist article with Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko shows exactly how much nonsense they are ready to swallow if you wave a chance to write a sensation in front of their noses.

Maybe it's time to stop and think about whether your sensationalism feeds your own citizens with foreign propaganda and helps an invading state wage a war and keep murdering civilians daily.

Those of us in the west must understand the Kremlin fosters a degree of dissent and opposition to give Russians a pretext to believe the system is not rigged. It's a radical mistake to think Sobchak running against Putin in 2018 demonstrated she's an independent voice.

she never ran against putin, her godfather and hidden supporter during all her life.
quote:

This is her in her apartment, paid for out of the Sverdlovsk Region budget.

The NYT profile on Sobchak was never journalism. It was a Kremlin resume submitted for Western publication. Every editor who approved it should be asked one question: did you verify anything, or did the word "Putin critic" make you stop thinking?
quote:

'some liberals call her a Kremlin stooge' as if that was up for debate. Just constant normalization of the worst people.
quote:

I agree. Resistance in ruzzia is futule. It must be completely dismantled into pieces.

China has frozen negotiations with Russia over the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline.

According to The Wall Street Journal, during Vladimir Putin’s most recent visit to Beijing, Chinese officials asked the Russian delegation not to raise the issue of the project again until the terms of the deal change.

The newspaper reports that Beijing is willing to sign the contract only if Russia agrees to supply gas at domestic Russian prices — a condition Moscow considers economically unacceptable.

The proposed price is around $50 per 1,000 cubic meters, far below Russia’s export rates.

As some of us including myself predicted back in 2023 or so. This war ends with Putin losing power and Russia becoming a Chinese vassal state.

Xi received Putin like an emperor receiving his visitor in his castle,” said Joerg Wuttke, a veteran German business executive with long experience in China-Russia relations, “and sent him home.”

The commander in chief of the world’s second most powerful military is now China’s bitch.

What is unfolding in the occupied territories of Ukraine – in Mariupol above all, but also across swathes of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts – is the deliberate erasure of a Ukrainian population and its substitution with a Russian one.


Stalin did his Russification of Ukraine, Crimea, and the Baltics so that's a very Russian thing to do. The Baltics are working hard to de-Russify their countries.

China wants the resource rich territories back that the Russians took from them too. They fought a war over it back in the late 1960's. I don't think they have forgotten.

China was already dealing directly with oblasts east of the Urals before 2022. Plus, Chinese men marrying Russian women in the same oblasts. They aren't drunk in perpetuity or beat their wives. They can actually get an erection.
