Latest: another Russian one-star general was killed today by Ukrainian forces. "Major General" Oleg Mityayev, 150th motorized division commander. Last was the second in command of the Russian forces in Syria. Go to hell, Oleg. That makes it five Russian one-star generals confirmed eliminated since the start of the war. The Russian attrition rate is absolutely amazing.
We’ll see what China does. Yesterday was a wake up call for them with their markets going into turmoil just off us mentioning retaliation for assisting the Russians. The Russians got exposed and the Chinese may want to avoid that. The Saudis are in the que too. There’s an algebra problem here the Chinese wish they could figure out for the big payout but they have problems of their own. The Chinese have a big underlying real estate problem they have to prop up by adding more tooth picks to every day. Maybe bringing on some sanctions is just what the doctor ordered to rip off that band aid. Maybe not. I don’t know. Being in bed with the Russians sucks for them right now. The meeting between Xi and Putin was supposed to be the beginning of better friendship now they got a beggar at their doorstep with not much to offer and looking weak. The Russians are stalled and trying to get their troops some Chinese take out MREs - fucking pathetic. I posed in another thread whether Russia will broker a peace before they default on their debt and no one picked up on it but that’s the breaking point for Russia. If they start defaulting, their super fucked. Even the most unscrupulous actors in the west will avoid them and they solidify their status as a province of China for the foreseeable future. The Chinese don’t need to do much at the end of the day because the Russians don’t have any friends and will ultimately become dependent on the Chinese minus Putin somehow falls upon some unfortunate unexpected health issue. What I will say is that if the Chinese do get involved then yeah we should take the Michael Corleone position and just settle all of the business at once.
He may develop an unexplained nervous twitch. Or said more diplomatically in the words of the inimitable Donald John Trump, "He may have to go "through some things."
Hell from Lasi, Romania. Sora ta este foarte drăguță! Sent Putin here, he will die of constipation from steak and chips. I have had it for breakfast, lunch and supper.
The big news of the day is that the Russian forces finally decided to, shall we say, change pace, and by all account the intensity of the artillery, aerial bombing and missile barrage which hit the Ukie forces in the town of Avdeevka was absolutely unprecedented and following this barrage the LDNR forces broke through 8 kilometers of just about the most heavily defended sectors in the entire theater or operations. The Ukrainian 95th Airmobile Brigade (one of the most combat capable unit of the Ukrainian Army!) was defending this sector. According to reports, this entire brigade was basically wiped out. Here is what you need to know about Avdeevka: this is the very heavily defended location from which the Ukronazis could unleash their terror against the civilians in Donetsk. Now that this entire town has been flattened, the people of Donetsk can now finally hope to live in relative (Ukie Smerch MLRS and Tochka-U missiles can still reach Donetsk!) peace. So, not only did Russian encircle the entire Ukrainian forces in an operational cauldron, she then proceeded to cut that single force into two smaller cauldrons (but both still contained in the bigger, operational, cauldron) and now as a show of force, she destroyed the most combat capable Ukrainian unit in the most heavily defended town. The “message” here is clear: we strongly encourage you to lay down arms or else… https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/03/gonzalo-lira-a-false-flag-is-coming.html?cid=6a00d8341c640e53ef0282e149779f200b#comment-6a00d8341c640e53ef0282e149779f200b
