Preamble
As a conscious, intelligent person you have access to a remarkable reserve of intuitive knowing and gut feelings about all things. The ability to see behind the concealment that all evil uses to plan the destruction needed to give themselves power and wealth over all common people. You have a distinct, unique insight that allows you to see beyond the mundane and directly into the heart of all issues. This ability has been called "Common Sense" throughout the ages! The most effective “solution” to any critical challenge facing our nation and the world is to take a deep look at what is truly and honestly wanting and needed to improve not only America but our world as well. Not like our new age negative, hateful action and thinking, more like using your own innate abilities and foresight to see the truth of the matter and respond to it intelligently.
Slowly include a higher caliber of like-minded people into your life. Not necessarily rich, famous or super successful. More like deep thinkers with big and good hearts, healthy outlooks that are confident, wise and aware of this new world landscape and who care deeply about what matters to them and all of us!
Most countries in this world have a destiny of sorts. To be a leader for others. To be known for its technical acumen; for its great cultural heritage, beauty of its land or for its ability to just make money. The Russian Federation sets an example to the rest of the world as well. On how NOT to be.
Russia continuously fascinates us, in a bad sort of way. Let’s dispense with the niceties. “Russia is an Evil Empire.” (thank you, U.S. President Ronald Regan
There is a lot to be said about Russia. We honestly don’t know where to begin, as the subject is vast. Volumes had been written about Russia; it's past, present and its possible future. We are not political scientists or historians. But I know a lot about that land. I was born there, I lived there. I communicate with people within Russia and have had friendships totally end, destroyed forever, over my views of Putin and Russia's direction.
Russia and the way Russian social/government thinking is didn’t start with Vladimir Putin. It didn’t even begin with Joseph Stalin or Vladimir Lenin. It all began much, much earlier, perhaps as early as the Tenth Century.
Russia (was part of Kievan Rus, but branched out later) back then was a tiny patch of land amid woods (roughly where Moscow is now); in the Thirteenth century mostly overrun by Genghis Khan, his descendants and their hordes. The individual fiefdoms that existed tried to resist the invasion, but lost. For the next several centuries they had become subjugated and paid levies imposed by the conquering Mongol empire. Russia's own nobility became vassals of the Mongol rulers, squashing and killing any resistance from their own people against the foreign Mongol powers.
Of course, the above is a major simplification of some very convoluted relationships that involved many characters and historical events over time, until Russia had freed itself of the old Mongol empire and grew to become an Empire itself.
We happened to think that it was during that time the Russian national character was formed. It remains essentially the same to this day. Obedience, humility and passivity for the commoners are an accepted Russian attribute. This is the soil on which personal yearning to be free doesn’t grow very well or at all. Serfdom and bondage have become part of the national mentality. Deceit and duplicity, traits common to Asia from time immemorial, befall upon Russians as well. This is true, regardless of how you think in terms of American history, political correctness, cultural ties and America's heritage to live with true, real freedom! Russia has a vastly different history
The Russian Federation as we know today (the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union before it) is the result of centuries-old, non-stop, never-ending quests to capture its neighbors’ territories, to subjugate and destroy the conquered population. Once Russia adds a new possession, it never lets go. The empire took its time to reach everywhere, East and West, North and South. They discovered Alaska in the 17th century, ruled it through the 19th century and even had settlements in California. The Russian Empire held onto these territories until 1867. In case you didn’t know and don't be surprised, they slaughtered Alaskan natives by the thousands in their quest for expanded territories, control and precious animal fur.
Russia was involved in twenty wars and conflicts in the twentieth century alone. Curious readers may find more about these and other wars it fought in the distant past, and the list is very long. That country signed many peace treaties. Without flinching, most were broken when it was convenient and advantageous to Russia. For your own research don’t rely on Wikipedia alone. Russia-appointed Wiki editors on state payroll attempted to scrub online encyclopedias of anything negative or disparaging. And, they did it very successfully.
While you are reading this, try to mentally compare Russia and the United States of America. The two countries may have few things in common, but also a lot more that sets them apart. Our history here is much shorter and we didn’t get to make the errors Russia made over the ages. When presented with the right choice and the wrong choice Russia will always choose the wrong path. We cannot explain this; it boggles the mind. We are not trying to malign that country out of spite of some kind. Historical records will prove the truth of what we are writing. Throughout Russian history, it had few, if any friends; used poor political judgment and selected military alliances that eventually led it to ruin. The famous phrase attributed to Tsar Alexander III goes like this: “Russia has only two allies (in this world) – its Army and Navy.” This was said in the late 19th century and remains true to this day.
The country cannot let go of its past. Vladimir Putin is a former high-ranking KGB man and his current inner circle of people all come from the same vocation. We don’t profess to know more about their inner activities than anyone else. Yet, news is popping up and leaking out. Here and there the information creates a mosaic of mystery murders, poisonings, international subversion, espionage and sabotage, suspicious suicides and accidents, arrests and long-term incarcerations for anyone who doesn’t follow the "party line." All opposition is imprisoned, exiled or murdered. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union may be gone (but, communists do exist as a political force in modern Russia, but they are mostly all pro-Putin), but what replaced Communism is not much better. It's “United Russia” an immensely corrupt political party, legislating Putin's will upon the people of Russia. If you can think of every modern manifestation of corruption, they have perpetrated it. Contemporary Russia is ruled by a criminal mob.
Societies that don’t change through fair elections inevitably pay for the change with blood. Elected presidents who stay around “by hook or by crook” become dictators. History is full of examples of how this leads to wars, executions, prosecutions, poverty, social unrest and stagnation. It’s always the same path. Russia is a glaring example of all of the above. Putin has been in power for over 20 years. We are witnessing the destruction of modern Russia in the ruling hands of gangsters.
We know that the U.S. Constitution is one document that cannot and should not be changed lightly, hurriedly or without the consent of the people. The Soviet Union and Russian Federation had a total of four constitutions; they were amended multiple times, to suit the rulers - the people had no say! Amendments were never really discussed publicly. Anything resembling popular votes was not to be taken seriously. And by-the-way, the Russian people never had anything close to our Second Amendment, gun ownership was and is very, very limited and nearly non-existent. As all Americans understand, it's nearly impossible to enslave and subjugate an armed population who has a love for their freedom and a will to fight for it.
Russia never had free, honest and fair elections, not once in all of Russian history. The state had perfected the art of rigged vote. Voting is a sensitive issue in the United States and I see and recognize some methods the Democratic Party is using to win elections that are clearly taken from the Russian Communist Party playbook which you must understand is now the United Russia playbook. Speaking of the United Russia playbook, here is something you never hear in American media, it's right out of the old KGB playbook. It's Standard Operational Procedure to always accuse your adversary of the very crimes and misdeeds you are committing. Turn the light on your political enemy and put them on the defensive (sounds familiar doesn't it?) Permit us to entertain you about this non-exhaustive list of Russian election infringements. Designated people (mostly municipal workers or soldiers) are bused around to election sites. This process is known as “carousels.” Russians use internal passports as their IDs. The United Russia party requires special enclosures in their passports – like a used train ticket or a postage stamp. This tells the election official who provides the ballots not to ask any questions (or else!). Ballot box stuffing is commonplace. In places where there are cameras, election workers at times literally shield the violators from the camera eyes. Off-site voting is another source of trouble. Thousands of “incapacitated”, homebound people suddenly demand that the ballot boxes be brought to them. Teams of workers come back with ballot boxes filled to the rim with stacks of ballots. Many voting places generate more ballots than there are registered voters or even the entire adult population. Russians don't know whether to laugh or cry - doing anything else will land you in prison! Russian elections in the past featured sites that were not open to the public yet they produced a healthy number of votes when it was time to count. Just prior to the elections, many invitations are posted on social media to “vote and get paid” – teams of roving voters are organized and taken from place to place to vote, to be paid in cash at the end. Want to become an honest (non-Putin approved) candidate for a municipal or federal office? Get ready for police intimidation or even physical violence against you and your family. The government erects all sorts of barriers for these simpleton candidates. Alternate “unapproved” candidates on all election levels never even make it onto the ballots. Putin controlled Courts dismiss all challenges of Ballot omissions. Observers are banned or expelled from voting sites, especially when the counting begins. Countrywide vote counting is done with software that is known to be rigged with external controls doing the counting. Lately most voting is done electronically with oversight by the Putin government. This is promoted as simple, convenient and trustworthy. Putin and “United Russia” always win, with very healthy margins. The country’s Board of Election forever laughs off anyone who suggests deception is being perpetrated. No one is ever investigated or prosecuted for voting fraud, never.
The United States and Russia have a long history of cooperation and falling out of favor with each other. Russia once refused to send its troops to fight for the British during the American War of Independence. There was some support from the USA favoring Russia during the Crimean War in the mid-1800. The United States has helped modernize the Russian Empire and they did so during the early USSR days. American businessmen and engineers brought about most major construction projects. It was American know-how that led to the creation of modern agriculture; power plants, automotive giants, aviation, oil and chemical industries in the Soviet Union in the 1920’s and 30’s. None of it would have been possible without the USA and that's the truth. America, we did it (and we must sarcastically add – with our own hands). Americans saved the people of Russia from hunger at the end of the 19th century and also in the 1920’s, with Communists induced starvation among its own population. Our military aid program is what saved the Soviet Union from inevitable defeat during WWII. The history repeated itself in the late 1980’s, when our massive food donations saved Russia again from massive starvation after a major Russian crop failure.
In 2000’s we taught them modern business models, markets, finances, accounting, auditing and most importantly developed and modernized the Russian oil industry. The United States had even made an attempt to introduce our form of the legal system and jury trial models into the Russian Federation during Gorbachev times, but all was eventually scuttled. We may have been admired for our entrepreneurial spirit but have never been embraced or accepted by Russia as friends in the long-term. We were always political adversaries, part of the aggressive NATO block, capitalists looking for world hegemony and domination. It was us who were trying to get into the Russian spheres of influence, to take away its resources. It just never stopped, not even in the best of times of détente or perestroyka. We are sure U.S. involvement with Russia served political considerations at the time, but look at the payback. We are enemies once again.
We have fought with Russia a few times. In Russia's Civil War (1918-1922), U.S. troops were stationed in the North of that country as part of the expeditionary force. We crossed paths with North Koreans and Vietnamese - taught, supported and supplied by the USSR. And don’t forget the Cold War. In the early 1980’s we butted heads in a clandestine war in Afghanistan, not the American soldiers, but our own CIA. Our armed forces exterminated a large group of Russian mercenaries in Syria when the latter tried to take over an oil refinery in Feb 2018. There were other conflicts where American and Russian military advisors were involved.
These days at war with Ukraine the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin has become a tyrannical power. Over his reign of 20 years he methodically eliminated any traces of opposition – political leaders, non-government organizations, mass media deemed hostile to him. Any signs of democracy left from the era of “perestroyka and glasnost” (i.e. change-over and openness) have vanished. Moscow subway has implemented face recognition technology that gets you quickly arrested if you are sought by the state. They can trace you as you move around the city and discover where you live. Cameras are everywhere. The police in real time monitor a person's local social network postings. Anyone with an alternate point of view is branded a “foreign agent” and is subject to arrest. The censorship is absolute. Many websites (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Google News, BBC News, Die Welt, AOL, Radio Liberty, Voice of America, etc.) are totally banned. Russia now meets all 14 definitions of a fascist regime. Publicly saying “no war” will result in a huge fine. It can also land you in prison for 10 years. The government invites its citizens to "turn" on each other and for the first half of 2022 over 140 thousands such reports had been received by police, family members reporting family members and neighbor against neighbor. The Russian people are terrorized into silence. The country is returning to the times of iron fist control of Joseph Stalin. Putin’s war goal is not only the conquest of Ukraine. He dreams of restoring the Soviet Union, to be the menacing nuclear power that keeps the world trembling in fear. Under no circumstances should he be permitted to win.
As we mentioned before, there is no resistance to tyranny in Russia. The dictator has decimated anyone who could oppose him. Opposition (like imprisoned politician Alexey Navalny and his dispersed organization) never went beyond investigating and revealing corruption on all levels of the state. There never was a call for armed or any kind of resistance, even today. That would have given the regime carte blanche to go after the “enemies of the state." Putin’s regime is not afraid of individual peaceful protesters. Any and all opposition gatherings in the past were dispersed by force, participants arrested. These days everyone is afraid and peaceful protest is futile. The time for marches has passed. The only “resistance” offered these days are occasionally burning military draft offices here and there. Official propaganda in mass media is overwhelming. The Russian Orthodox Church never ever speaks against the war. Instead it calls for obedience and glorifies “death for the Motherland." The majority of people so far have supported Putin and his policies. They have become Putin's puppets after an entire generation of propaganda and brainwashing that started in grade school. Over seventy percent of Russians have never been abroad and know little of how the other side lives, what it's like to really taste freedom. Putin has convinced them that a blood-thirsty NATO outside of their borders exists for the purpose of total destruction of Russia and the mass murder of its people. They really actually believe this. To give you an example of the power of this type of control, complete generational education controls. As a young man I legally immigrated to the U.S. and became a proud citizen of the United States. It was ONLY then I learned about the D-Day Normandy Invasion and the war in the Pacific. In Russia's communist times, we were taught that Russia and Russia alone defeated the German Army and liberated all of Europe. Please get involved, LEARN what your children are LEARNING!!!! All of our American futures are in our children's hands.
So when we hear our fellow Americans lament as to why the Russian people don't revolt and overthrow Putin, it's heartbreaking. They can't and they don't know how! They never tasted real freedom ever! They can't crave food they have never tasted! The citizens of Russia are programmed not to resist. They consume unhealthy doses of official viewpoints delivered from TV screens by skillful and very convincingly lying propagandists. Nazi Propagandist Chief Joseph Goebels would have been proud of his Russian students "Mother Russia is the very best, we are winning, all is going as planned, enemies are everywhere but will be defeated and Ukraine is a Nazi state and must be totally destroyed." That sums it up for 2022-23. The Brainwashing of a Brainwashed population continues. There is no other, alternate-thinking Russian population that can take over. The largest challenge to the Western society is how to reprogram Russia's population into understanding the TRUTH and the REALITY of what has happened to their nation! They cannot be left to their own devices. Political vacuum is a dangerous thing to have – think post-Soviet Afghanistan and Bin Laden. Bitter and wounded, Russia will aim for revenge. Give the “Russian bear” a few undisturbed years to lick the wounds, to learn the lessons and restore the military, and they will surely start another war. That is the greatest fear that those who really understand Russia have.
There is a silver lining in the war that Russia started, though. It has completely wiped out any goodwill capital from the rest of the modern civilized world they have amassed over their history. That Russian State is slowly going bankrupt. If nothing else, the country had revealed itself in all its impotent glory. It uses much Soviet-era military technology (some is 70 plus years old). Its army is malnourished, ill-equipped and supplied, lacks communications and leadership. They are a marauding gang of murderous genocidal maniacs lacking any morals. The only thing they have still going for them is nuclear weapons. We should stop being afraid of them; they are no match for allied western military. Cut off from supplies of a lot of imported components, but not all, by Western sanctions, they are very limited in the ability to build-advanced missiles, repair their tanks or replenish a lot of their military stockpiles. Not quite a total pushover, it's a very weak and outdated military. Corruption has a lot to do with it. Billions of rubles the state allocated to its armed forces have been wasted and stolen by its own generals. Ukraine would have a much harder time defending against Russia otherwise. I say, "Long live Russian military corruption"!
Another lesson lies herewith. Back in 1992, Ukraine had signed the Lisbon Protocol and it joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The nuclear weapons possessed by Ukraine were transferred to Russia for eventual dismantling. We are not convinced that if the country remained a nuclear power, it would have prevented a Russian invasion. But at the very least, it would have made Kremlin war decision-making more difficult. Never ever give up your arms, a lesson President Biden should have learned or did he? If he had, he wouldn't have given the WORST of our enemies the BEST of our arms during August 2021 in a place called Afghanistan.
Recently, the “Anonymous” hacker group has gotten their hands on a treasure trove of information – the entire database of activity records for the Russian Central Bank. Twenty-eight Gigabytes worth of data was uploaded to the internet. Damage control was put in place by the Russian government. But it looks like we are learning some interesting facts. This tidbit of information spells it out clearly – Russia has passed approximately 300 million dollars worth of bribes to some, yet to be named, Western politicians - I bet it including some American officials in office or some family members with broken laptops. You can buy a lot of souls with this kind of money. This is how Putin's Russia acquires influence and promotes its agenda these days. Hear Western political figures suddenly speak out how Ukraine should declare a ceasefire while Russia is waging war? An important set of sanctions against Russia is suddenly foiled? See marchers in Western capitals protesting against the war because Russia's gas and oil are no longer flowing? Somehow, somewhere up the chain this is paid for by the Russian state funds. Russia has spies and the “agents of influence” all over the world. They are corrupting Western societies by buying off politicians, legislators, lawyers, prosecutors, judges, Non Government Organizations and even bloggers. All is just a matter of price and they know it. We are (or were) paying for their shenanigans and they use the proceeds while trying to destroy our way of life.
And have you noticed? Once the war in Ukraine had begun, we hear little of terrorist activity in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere. So what happened? The Russian Federation has no funds available to support “progressive” forces around the globe at this time. It is all not coincidental. Something to think about!
Thousands upon thousands of people have left the Russian Federation for other countries before and more so after the war began. Some left because of political persecution, more left as a form of personal protest against the war. But the largest number of people took off once the mobilization (general call-up) was announced in September 2022. The estimate of the total number of Russian men to leave Russia rather than serve in the Russian Army now is well over half a million so far. They are arriving in countries like Finland, Kazakhstan, Republic of Georgia, Armenia, the Baltic nations, Poland, Austria, Turkey, UAE, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and others. The number of people leaving has grown everyday.
The majority of men that left Russia did not do so because they were against Putin’s policies and the war he started. The bulk supports the war. They left with only clothes on their backs because they were afraid they would be drafted into the Army to face certain death. They didn’t rise to fight the Russian State that wants to send them to the slaughter. They chose to leave rather than die. No mass protests. You have the right to protest in America, you face a long prison term if you do so in Russia.
It is estimated that this year alone over eight million Russians have left the country taking all their money and wealth with them. They are scattered all over the globe. Their Russian passport used as identification becomes a "Red Flag" making it very difficult to get high tech jobs. Russians are not trusted with anything to do with computers, electronics, communications as well as other areas of employment especially with western businesses. In some cases like Armenia, which is basically, a poor country has seen a jump in their GDP due to the influx of Russian people and their money.
Accepting Russians escaping Putin rule might seem humane on the surface. But the nations and societies that let them in could at some point be facing a major political calamity. These temporary and/or permanent Russian immigrants with money are not necessarily the type you want to have around. Many are virulently pro-war, pro-Putin and anti-West. No doubt, there are spies, saboteurs, intelligence agents and future political agitators among them. Intelligence services of these lands would have their hands full dealing with all sorts of trouble down the line, maybe not too far down the line. Inevitably Russia's war loss in Ukraine will exacerbate these people's state of mind. The bitterness will spill onto the streets and the societies in their host countries. You can actually bet on this! By-the-way, Russian citizens who wish to travel to the US for business or tourism purposes must apply for a US B1/B2 Visa. At this time, these Visas are not being granted to Russian citizens. Any Russians trying to enter our southern border will be turned away and sent back into Mexico. They might get in illegally along with just about anyone and everyone else!
Our own support of Ukraine is not that universal or consistent - or is it? While the USA and EC states supply large quantities of military equipment to that country, we noticed this subtle resistance. Deliveries are delayed or not taking place on time. Promises are not kept. It’s almost like Ukraine, praising support of the “western friends” but must periodically twist their arms to make them act. We don’t know what is taking place behind the scenes. But out there it is World War III, folks. It involves many nations, like a world war would; yet only two states are doing the fighting. Capitulation is not an option to the West. If Ukraine loses, Putin will be emboldened beyond reason. He would go further. But our side still plays politics with Russia. We buy their gas, oil and diamonds, among other things. We, regretfully, don’t go for broke, giving Ukraine everything it asks for and now. Not two years later like Germany has decided to do.
Ukraine does the fighting but everyone else must have a clear understanding of what it means for them as well. A wounded wild animal must be finished off or it will come after you again. This is not politics, this is just common sense and easily proven by history and expected behavior. Do we want to have a nuclear threat hanging over our heads in a worse circumstance than we face today? Then we must finish the job. Do it now and pay what it takes or delay and pay so very, very much more later on, with lives lost and economies ruined. This is what EC or even the U.S. doesn’t quite fully understand. The sooner this ends – the better. This job must be finished with a totally safe, preserved sovereign Ukraine nation with its territory intact. Not any kind of Russian victory!
On October 2, 2022, the U.S. Congress had approved another support package for Ukraine, worth 12.3 billion USD. The Bill passed the House of Representatives, all voted Yes except for 57 Republican House members. Why did so many Republicans vote against military aid to Ukraine? Well, the Bill also included funding for Afghan ally resettlement; winter heating assistance; aid for Jackson, Mississippi, amid its water crisis; reauthorization of FDA user fees and on and on with other Democratic socialization of America programs. Who knows how much of the 12.3 billion actually goes to Ukraine military aid? Some sources say Ukraine would be lucky if they end up with 50%. Wasn't it Nancy Pelosi who said from a political point of view, "Don't let a Crisis go to waste"? I am sure had the Bill contained all 12.3 billion dollars for Ukraine only, it would have had 100% approval from the entire U.S. Congress! American Congressional legislation needs to be expenditure for ONE item at a time. Let's get a 40-hour workweek out of those we elect to Congress!
After the war with a Russian loss, I believe it's conceivable to see the current Russian Empire breaking up into groups of Autonomous Republics. Areas with boundaries related to various nationalistic trends. There are numerous events that may occur such as a degree of civil strife, local or regional wars, criminal gangs taking over territories and not to totally rule out an invasion of Asiatic Russia by China. The world needs to use caution; the vacuum left unattended when a nation goes through changes of its current ruling structure is rarely filled with a benign, benevolent force. Frequently, the opposite is the case. We must be on top of it and play a very active role in its transformation, in any way we can. Many believe this was an issue in 1991 after the failed Russian Communist coup. The western world celebrated a big victory winning the Cold War. The Communist Party ended. Only thoughts of exploiting Russian business resources prevailed. NO effort was made to help the Russian people establish a strong firm honest western style Democracy that they so wanted. The entire western world celebrated a now free Eastern Europe. Worldwide TV audiences watched as the Berlin Wall came crashing down! We all smiled and laughed about the Russian Communists collapse. But it was these Russian Communist criminals who had killed millions of their own people and were never brought to Justice; there were no Nuremberg type of trials of the brutal communist murders. While the west was counting their money, Putin and his old communist gangster cronies slowly surfaced and now they're back ruling Russia again with an iron fist gripping their people's throats. In their insanity, they think they can recreate the U.S.S.R. The world can never make this mistake again! What happens after the war, at this point, no one knows for sure but the eventualities are numerous!
Events move very fast on the Russian/Ukraine war front, daily unfolding events both physically and politically. Here are some facts you should know that are derived from extremely reliable sources in both Russia and Ukraine.
Russia withdrew all its forces rapidly from the city of Kherson in the southeastern part of Ukraine. This is a great victory for the Ukrainian forces. Putin's Moscow government has not given a reason for the Russian troop retreat. But, whatever the reasons they have lost any and all control of Ukrainian territories along the Black Sea. This is very significant for many reasons including allowing Ukraine safe access to their nation's shipping Ports. The Russian troops in keeping with their terrorist tactics have booby-trapped literally the entire city of Kherson including abandoned apartments and homes to kill as many Ukrainian citizens returning to the liberated city.
Ukrainian forces have liberated about 50% of all Ukrainian territory once occupied by Russian troops since its invasion on Feb 24th, 2022.
The Russian people whose unwavering total support for the war with Ukraine are today in total disbelief and stunning shock over this current Russian troop retreat from Kherson. For the first time since the war's start, local social media is full of expletives and vile hateful remarks towards what is being called their Russian imbecile ignorant generals and also remarks about Putin himself. No, it is not a major change of the tide, but the very beginning of disillusionment of the citizens. Official Russian propaganda struggles now to explain this new development. To understand the dimension of this, the Putin government had only recently officially declared the Kherson region to now be a part of the Russian Federation, and that the Russian Federation flag was flying everywhere over Kherson. This created great celebration and jubilation in Russia. Now, the people cannot understand how the Russian army can just give up land that is owned and officially Russia territory! They just can’t get over giving up their “own land."
The Russian people are starting to get more stunned as the truth of confirmed casualties is starting to be learned! There are now several reliable sources stating that the total Russian Troops killed in action is between 80,000 and 100,000 soldiers since February 2022. You might know that there are many, many Russian Military Field hospitals stretched along the Russian side of the Ukraine border. It's to these hospitals the wounded Russian soldiers are taken. Keep in mind that the number of wounded is estimated to be about three or four wounded for each soldier killed. To shield the Russian people from knowing the magnitude of the wounded, they are not being transported to civilian hospitals in the interior of Russia. It has been reported that because of shortages of medical supplies especially and mainly pain killing drugs like Morphine those in extreme pain with what appear to be fatal wounds who are not expected to live are euthanized rather than given pain killing drugs that can be used for other wounded Russian troops. There are limits to the number of wounded and the type of wounds with regard to being transported to interior civilian hospitals.
The Ukrainian army will continue pressing the fight with non-stop attacks! I can report with absolute certainty that Russia is losing between 600-900 military personnel per day. Last week, confirmed Russian Killed in Action was 5,140. Ukrainian forces are pulverizing whatever enemy they can. Reliable reports note that American artillery pieces and HIMARS are playing an enormous part and making a most significant difference. This is not the kind of war that relies only on foot soldiers first and foremost. There are face-to-face battles and that type of combat does go on. This is a war of drones, missiles and artillery duels, also of Ukraine using the battlefield Internet connection ability, military applications that will run on smartphones and iPads. A war where Ukrainian civilians can be used to spot enemy positions and direct massive fire by sending Russian enemy sightings directly to combat decision makers via data over a Telegram channel.
Russia started a military draft, which never reached its goals. The government has declared the "partial" draft is over, but that's propaganda; it's not true. To actually end the general call-up, Putin must issue a decree to that effect – which he has NOT done and is unlikely to do. Draft boards are still active grabbing men here and there, though not in the numbers they had before. To boost the number of draftees, they are emptying the Russian prisons and pressing Russian criminals into the army. This includes prisoners convicted of murder and the criminally insane.
Men being drafted literally have only weeks to live. They undergo a few weeks of preparation and are sent to the Ukrainian front. You must understand the Russian Federation (as did the old USSR) always has “Military Training 101” as part of their high school education curriculum. Everyone has to go through it during the last two years of high school studies when they are 15 to 17 years old. Now, all over Russia this same style training is being extended to children in lower level schools starting at 12 years old. A side note: We are teaching our 12 year olds about Transsexuality and Russian 12 year olds are learning how to field strip, clean and use a Kalashnikov AK-12 which is a 5th generation improvement over the old AK-47 as well as a full two years of what would be in the U.S. Army Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training. It is this training that the Russian army expects the current draftees to utilize in real combat now 10 to 30 years later. Yes, men in their 40's are subject to the draft. Russia has a scheduled attempt to draft men (about 120,000 is the current goal) and they are promising these new draftees that they will not be sent to the Ukrainian front, but they will inevitably go there once the army gets their hands on them. The men know this and draft dodging is a new way of life in Russia. This society's military training of its youth is an indication of where Russia is going. The current war in Ukraine is not the last Russia intends to wage. Take some time and think about this! Draw your own conclusions.
Men who were called up in the draft are being used by the Russian military as true "cannon fodder." If you don't know what that means: soldiers regarded or treated as expendable in battle. They are being sent forward to reveal Ukrainian firing positions and die in great numbers. Ukrainian fighters speak about 14-20 such attacks per day in some places and kill every attacker. Backing these attacking draftees are regular Russian army troops with orders to shoot any of the draftees who turn and run. Backing the regular army troops are Chechen mercenaries with orders to shoot any retreating regular army troops. It’s all totally insane and hard to believe, but true! No one in the Russian military cares about human losses. Many Russian KIA are not buried. There is NO effort to recover the bodies of dead Russian troops. The draftees are not made an actual official part of any military detachment, company, battalion or division. They are an expendable part of the army like worn out truck tires. The Russian government is not responsible for paying the families any death benefits of these killed in action draftees. The Russian army uses mobile crematoriums to burn the dead soldiers' bodies. The daily list of KIA will not list them but rather report them as Missing in Action (forever!) Again, no death benefits need to be paid.
There are several posts of Twitter with videos of openly rebelling draftee civilian conscripts who were sent to the front without food, water, training or supplies. They were also not paid what they were promised when they were drafted. They are seen cursing and yelling at the commanding general who came into their camp to figure out what was taking place and why they were refusing to go into combat. There are stories of mothers and wives coming to Russian military camps both along the Russian border with Ukraine and in Ukraine demanding to take their sons and husbands back home. Dealing with mothers and wives in this situation is extremely tense and highly emotional. These are random occurrences and not YET a trend.
A close friend who lives in Ukraine had recently talked to someone he knows in Russia over a Telegram channel. The Russian fellow, who is a general manager of some sort of electronic manufacturing enterprise, told him how they are still doing business. Things have slowed down, but have not stopped. Despite all the U.S. and western embargoes and sanctions, they can still get ICs and other electronic components they had always ordered from the United States. The culprit is China. The Chinese buy from the USA and quietly resell into the Russian market with an average of 200-300% mark-up. This may not be an official Chinese government policy (we don’t know), but there are plenty of Chinese companies making a fortune without much concern for political or military considerations and certainly with no fear from their own Chinese Communist government. How much of it contributes towards Russia’s military industrial efforts is anyone’s guess. It’s just a small example of what may be going on with our sanctions. There are numerous other nations buying from the USA, Japan and Europe and quietly selling to Russia for a hefty profit. Russian oil imports have not really taken the big hit the West thought it would. Too many playing both sides against the middle and smiling at everyone!
We can go on and on with information about Russia's criminal war with Ukraine. There is so much not being reported or told on the subject by American mass media. Period!
