War

[Roger A. Shrubber]

He doesn’t need lots of men to wreak havoc, your post is accurate for last century’s conventional war, now his load swallower at the UN has been publicly humiliated expect more horror on a different scale

he's either going to go wmd or hes not, and i don't actually give a fuck anymore. i'd like him to do something provocative enough to get NATO to put boots on the ground. then they could just destroy the remnants of the russian army, and they would no longer be a threat to all their supposedly weaker neighbors (i say supposedly because getting their asses kicked by Ukraine)
he will pay for everything he's ordered done, one way or another. China doesn't want to support them in this shit, any aid russia is receiving from them is a token. russia is doomed financially, even if they win in Ukraine. nearly all of the world won't do business with them or accept rubles as payment for anything. they're banned from currency trading, so they can't convert their worthless rubles into anything else. their gold supply is drying up, their markets are limited, and they have driven their biggest gas customers, the EU, to accelerate their green energy plans so they can turn off the russian gas spigot.
they produce very little of their own weaponry or ammunition, and anyone still willing to sell them weapons or ammo won't be able to ship them to russia, or collect payment from russia....all the things they are strategic suppliers of can be replaced by other suppliers. it won't be nearly as convenient as getting it from one source, but they aren't the world only source of anything...they have nothing unique that cannot be supplied by someone else.
in short, russia is fucked for at least a decade after this war, win or lose

They are not. There’s a handful of EU members, including Greece and Spain, that don’t even recognize Kosovo as an independent country. 4 of them are NATO members.

i thought so, knew i was on the fence for some reason....ty

bye bye botnet

DOJ says it disrupted a botnet run by Russian military intelligence agency

US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Wednesday the Justice Department had successfully disrupted of a botnet, or a network of infected devices, that was being controlled by the Russian military intelligence agency known as the GRU.

“The Russian government has recently used similar infrastructure to attack Ukrainian targets,” Garland said. ”Fortunately, we were able to disrupt this botnet before it could be used. Thanks to our close work with international partners, we were able to detect the infection of thousands of network hardware devices.”

Garland touted the disruption among several actions the Justice Department has taken against the Russian regime that he highlighted at news conference with Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, FBI Director Chris Wray and other DOJ officials.

Garland also announced that that the Department was charging Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev with sanctions violations.

“As the indictment charges, the Treasury Department previously identified Malofeyev as one of the main sources of financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea, and for providing material support for the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic,” Garland said. “After being sanctioned by the United States, Malofeyev attempted to evade the sanctions by using co-conspirators to surreptitiously acquire and run media outlets across Europe.”

The new actions come in addition to a yacht — owned by another Kremlin tied oligarch facing sanctions, Viktor Vekselberg — that was seized earlier this week.

Additionally, Garland said Wednesday, the department, in coordination with its German law enforcement partners, seized the “Russia-affiliated Hydra darknet market — the world’s largest illegal marketplace on the dark web.” Charges had been brought, according to Garland, against a Russian national who allegedly administered the market’s technical infrastructure.

The fighting in the east and north east might have another cause, the Ukrainians could be attacking the Russians, before they can be reinforced. Using the troops who were west of Kyiv, all they had to do was drive through town and across the bridges and they are on the north east front. This time when the Russians come in force, they better bring plenty of bridging equipment, a blown highway bridge on a main highway will stop them pretty quickly or slow them down a lot. Rivers make good defensive lines and I'm not sure the Russians can deal with them effectively.

this is grounds to declare war in my opinion. this is an attack on America and it's citizens. Misinformation and disinformation are weapons, that effect everyone who come in contact with them. if they were using a chemical agent that made people open to suggestion, there would be an international call for justice...this is the same thing, as far as i'm concerned, they are using carefully crafted psychological tactics to effect the American people in an adverse way, that serves the purposes of a country that we had not even declared an enemy...THEY have declared war on us by their actions. It is well past time to start defending ourselves in the real world

i concur roger, ask this question though, how do you think they found the botnet? Friends in different places....js

Some NATO mortars are laser guided precision munitions, dunno if they are getting any. Once positions where people or weapons are stationed are located, then precision munitions can wipe them out in seconds with little warning, then they storm the trenches. They could do it with enough switchblades, if they had plenty. Take out their anti tank defenses for instance and over run the trenches with troops and tanks, break trough into their rear and rollup their flanks. They often have several layers of defense or will when extra troops get there.

Civilians have become terrified now and are choking the roads, the government needs to order civilians out, arrange transport and tell those evacuating to go door to door for elderly disabled and pets to bring along with them. Civilians should not be left in areas the Russians will occupy, just armed men and women who want to kill Russians.

If the Russians have them they aren’t using them, which is so tactically dumb that I don’t think they have any.

Another condition from the trenches of last century occurs to me. Tactical air (to ground) power did not evolve past the nuisance stage before the armistice. By the next big war, ground attack had come of age, with types like the Ju-87 good for nothing else.

This indicates that the Russians do not own the air over the areas of combat. Helicopters are the go-to for such work, but they have suffered some attrition, primarily from shoulder-launched weapons. The number downed is not large — unless it is, due to the number of operable units being much less than what was on the books. Which would explain why Peskov iirc specifically bitched over the sanctions on aircraft parts and semiconductors.

it could have been a tip, from Anonymous for all i know, or it could have been the DOJ and others running algorithms, looking for repeated phrases, flagged phrases, and key words. once they started to get results, it should be easy enough to see unnatural concentrations of "users" sharing this behaviour, and then subpoena the internet provider for physical addresses.
if they found this one, you know there are others. I'm interested to see if they discover more in the near future. if they do, that's a good sign that they've figured out how to find them, and that their influence going forward will be minimal.

Look what fucking with information and the truth did for Trump and Putin, Foxnews makes billions a year doing it and their viewers are as bad as Vlad's on state TV, Americans selectively self censor, no state help required. Then there's hate radio, the king of rural half tons and bored yokels on long country trips, primes them for FOX in the evening. The red/ blue, urban/rural and culture wars made up bullshit are all products of this. Bigotry and fear equals power, as one fellow said, works in Russia and it's one of the ways Putin came to power and stays in power. Works in America too and hate radio or Tucker seeks to enrage to engage or sow fear and doubt, they need an enemy, even if they have to make them up, like ANTIFA, Muslims, gays, or QANON shit, or Putin's Ukrainian Nazi's. You can easily see the similarities and same methods used on the same kinds of people. The Russians cut education way back, so do republicans, etc.

oh i'm pretty sure they're are more, now the DOJ has shut this one down, i would guess they would give the info on how they found them to the EU, and i wouldn't be surprised if there are some down south of us. Earlier UA released 600+ plus names of GRU, come to find out some of those name are in Mexico according to a General in the Pentagon......

here is the icing on the cake as it were...:
US Dept of Justice has indicted Russian Oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, accusing him of financing Russian separatist propaganda in Ukraine, in violation of sanctions. This comes one month after the indictment of his employee, founding Fox News producer Jack Hanick, for sanctions violations in connection with Malofeev.

It takes some time for me to reformat the articles but I thought it worthwhile when it painted a picture of what Russians read. But the BS is so thick on the articles now that it really is not worth the trouble, almost no newsworthy content in them.
