Martyanov’s latest dispatch on the Ukraine conflict

Martyanov

Both Larch’s succinct summary and my new video are essentially in unison. 

1. I’ll start with that and will only stress that these are horrifying warriors because their motivation is higher than that of berserkers. Judge for yourself: 

You don’t want to meet those people on the battlefield because they are afraid of nothing, including death. I assume Russia assembles and trains those men into special crack formations which will deal with the remnants of VSU come the end of the year. Beware! LOL. 

Now to a more serious matter:

2. Somebody posted here the link to Alexander Rogers’ superbly acerbic piece on this Liman affair. Here is the link, sadly Google Translate will not completely convey Roger’s traditional sarcastic tone but still–worth reading. 

     Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimaaaaaaaan (in Russian)

Try to run it through a translator. All of Rogers’ points are valid. 

3. Where would we have been without the military “expertise” of The National Interest? I am being sarcastic, of course. But this one is worth paying attention to because it may, in the end, reflect both desperation and delusions on part of America’s military class. In the piece titled A Ceasefire Can Ensure Ukrainian Independence, David Pyne concludes: 

Ah, yes, of course, referenda were “rigged”–by VSU indiscriminate shelling of civilians, atrocities committed by Ukie Nazis and their NATO “instructors” against women, children, and old people. Right, it was “rigged” from the git go by effectively committing crimes against humanity against the Russophone population in Ukraine but, due to Payne’s having M.S in “national security studies” and being a former H.Q. staff officer, he doesn’t bother himself with facts and consequences. Moreover, he comes up with this wowser:

Of course, he merely gives the link, without elaboration on what those “reports” are, because they are directly from… Ukrainskaya Pravda, a tabloid propaganda rag of Kiev Regime, but Payne, following his “education” from the military system which loses all its wars, doesn’t mind spreading obvious propaganda BS without even bothering himself with checking the reality, forget about getting acquainted with those mobilization plans of Russia which are openly available (much of them are, of course, classified) to conclude that “1.2 million” IS NOT a partial mobilization. In fact, if Payne has his “degree” in whatever security “studies” he could have, at least, educated himself with basic mobilization documents of Russian Federation such as: 

Translation:  Federal Law No. 31-FZ of February 26, 1997 (as amended on July 14, 2022) “On mobilization training and mobilization in the Russian Federation”. 

And mind you, I am not even talking about the simple mathematical fact that mobilization of 1.2 million people in Russia would have manifested itself on a scale much much larger (no, not 1.2 mil. divided by 300 thousand= 4 times, no) than what is happening right now, because mobilizing 1.2 million soldiers as opposed to 300,000 IS NOT 4 times larger, it is a different type and scale of mobilization, including what amounts to enlisted personnel in existing Armed Forces. But Payne, obviously, never studied those things for his degree and while serving in whatever the H.Q. he served in. 

After that, he describes “conditions” which may “preserve” 404 not understanding that we all long ago left the world of wishful thinking and PR and are into serious business of dismantling Pax America in which Ukraine is but one of the fronts of this titanic struggle and it is all about demolishing existing combined West whose elites, quoting Vladimir Putin, are satanic. Kiev regime is a homicidal Nazi org, supported by the US and US military, and now the US will have the stamp of enablers of Neo-Nazism and let it live with it. After all, the main US Army “hero” and allegedly “tank genius” General Patton considered Russians to be subhumans and, I think, this tradition is being preserved. Frankly, I don’t know why this rag by Dmitri Simes even exists–it is Exhibit A of a complete intellectual collapse of whatever passes in the US for geopolitical views and it is a sorry spectacle. 

But I wanted to make you aware of that, and, judging by the other wave of Ukie bots spreading fake news and exhibiting their ever-increasing butt-hurt, they should. Because today Constitutional Court of Russia approved signed documents on four oblasts joining Russia and in this teeny-weeny piece of news that all four oblasts will join Russia within administrative borders which existed since the moment of their creation–you know, in USSR (in Russian). But that is just legalistic mumbo-jumbo. Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimaaaaaaan.   

About the whole shebang and how every desperate attempt is made to distract people’s attention from huge events. As Larch stated succinctly: 

So, here is me:
