Bidenbros... I don't feel so good

In Russia it would be like: 5:11 Crooks is in an Arctic Prison

I believe that, in the US, presidents and presidential candidates since Kennedy have become disposable entertainers. They are not well protected, because ultimately, they do not matter all that much (to the derp state)

One of the funniest things on the internet are the comments by some of the brown global south people that they leave under US election videos: "Sir, the fate of the entire world is in your hands! I wish i could vote for you!"

But what's even funnier are the hordes of American Reaganists thinking that he had any qualities other than a good radio voice. I don't mean that elections don't change anything. There's limited circulation of the elites and overall, it's a well-crafted show. But naturally, it's just a tip of the iceberg.

Considering that the main virtue of a good president is his entertainment value now, Trump is the best president in all of US history, no doubt about that.

"Who must go?"

Yeltsin did one redeeming thing when he resigned: he came forward with a speech in which he apologized. And it was sincere and heartfelt.

In the US, things seem to be much worse. Biden's staffer has tweeted.

The video is sped up by 1.5 for your viewing pleasure. I know that Biden hasn't resigned yet - but effectively it's the same thing.

Former Ukrainian commander-in-chief of the AFU Zaluzhny made his first public statement after being appointed as ambassador to UK. Here's what he had to say:

▪️The current conflict is a "transitional war". Western countries need to prepare for future conflicts, and in the meantime, they could test new weapons in Ukraine.
▪️In light of the threat of future wars, Western countries must "give up some freedoms for survival"
▪️Modern conflicts are total and require the efforts of not only the military, but society as a whole. Politicians should mobilize the population
▪️He described the "existence of Russia" as a threat

This is the plan they've cooked up for the next few years. You will give up all your freedoms. You will be mobilized. Blackrock will devour what's left of the 'independent Ukraine'. All for a good cause - the destruction of Russia.

It's really funny to me that Farion (who said that Russian-speaking Azov soldiers are potential traitors) was killed by Azov-aligned guys who are butthurt over the fact that OG Galician Banderites still consider their Kharkov-born asses subhuman. You betray your blood, your faith, your Motherland, you spit on your ancestors' graves and dishonor the very soil that gave you life to please a grotesque Galician tribal cult and the incestuous Banderite swamp witch still thinks you're a Mongol Orc!

Someone on twitter said that the whole thing is a bit hard to understand without the cultural background, so here's a short explanation:

It's not that complicated. The entire mythology and symbolism of Ukrainian nationalism is derived from the far western regions of Ukraine, mainly Galicia and Volhynia, which had been separated from the rest of Ukraine/Russia since the Middle Ages and developed a separate culture and dialect, and also converted to Catholicism (in a peculiar ethno-religious form).

All the historical Ukrainian heroes you hear about, like Bandera, are Western Ukrainian. Ukrainian nationalist organizations of the 20th century and especially the WW2 period consider Eastern Ukrainians ("схидняки") to be filthy Muscovite mongrels; the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) went so far as to have all their Orthodox members who came from Eastern Ukraine killed in a purge in 1944 or so.

Much of post-2013 Ukrainian nationalism, particularly the brand represented by Azov, hails from the big industrial cities of Eastern Ukraine like Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk. All these people are Russians who never knew any language but Russian. They have zero connection to the Galician myth that is being pushed as all-Ukrainian, but they try to do a convincing cosplay.

The less retarded Galician nationalists keep their mouth shut about what they really think of Russian Kharkov urbanites pretending to be the successors of fanatical Galician forest hicks. The more retarded ones, like Farion, do actually say it out loud. The dissonance between trying to be a Ukrainian nationalist and not being accepted by the people who wrote the language of Ukrainian nationalism makes the Azov types really mad. Particularly because it's Russian-speakers from Eastern Ukraine who are being conscripted into the Ukrainian army, while Galicians still mostly just chill, smuggle stuff to/from Poland and steal humanitarian aid. And now it has reached a point where Russian-speaking Ukrainian Nazis are starting to kill Galician Ukrainian Nazis

Kiev’s increasingly frequent alludes to possible peace negotiations over the last couple of months are a balancing act worthy of the Cirque du Soleil. After Zelensky announced a while back that he desires an end to the war as quickly as possible, and preferably even before the end of the year, there has been a constant stream of announcements and declarations from Kiev and from the West as to how that might look like.

But all of them lack any sort of specificity. There was no official abandonment of Zelensky’s ludicrous 10 point “peace formula” as the only acceptable roadmap, there were no admissions of the permissibility of territorial concessions, and ultimately, the Ukrainians – for all their overtures towards negotiations – haven’t even revoked their own law prohibiting negotiations with Putin, even though Zelensky has already confirmed his willingness to come to the table with the Russian president (for that eventuality, I hope that they have an even longer table in the Kremlin than the one they pulled out for Macron).

The most recent event in this clown show was Kuleba’s visit to Beijing a few days ago, where he reiterated to his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi that the Ukraine was ready for direct negotiations with Russia, though he – again – depreciated his own statement by adding that there was no such willingness on the Russian side. Today, Kuleba also added that Ukraine could not be forced to the negotiation table by its Western puppet masters (perhaps in response to Trump’s recent phone call with Zelensky, where he basically told him that Russia cannot be defeated).

Now, why are they doing this, though? What end does this game of ready-not-ready serve? Probably, the Ukraine and NATO have already calculated that this war is indeed unwinnable for them and that the noose around the AFU’s neck is growing ever tighter with every new FAB drop. Also, discontent is growing in the de-electrified, sealed off Ukrainian rear over the failures on the front and the ever more draconian mobilisation system to make up for them. The internal unrest on the Ukraine isn’t at a boiling point yet, but that could eventually change, and the chances of this are increasing the longer this war drags on.

However, the Zelensky regime – and indeed Zelensky personally – have to boil the frog slowly, and probably kill off some of the hottest heads in the process. It has been evident from the very onset of this war that Kiev’s well-armed and completely 82 IQ retarded neonazi goons at the front have been a significant impediment for talks and compromises. Once they aren’t kept busy by the Russian Armed Forces, and especially after a lost war, they will direct their attention to Kiev and to the Zradniks on Bankovaya who stabbed them in the back, even though they were epically slaughtering orcs at 20:1 loss-ratios and just one more counter-oink away from marching on Rostov. I’m serious about the 82 IQ. These people – well, and also the general Ukrainian public that has been given completely unrealistic expectations by their own media – are certainly a problem to be dealt with before Kiev can declare a willingness for negotiations without any “buts”.

How Russia should react once Kiev and NATO will become sincerely interested in a settlement is a different topic and dealing with Russian demands and expectations is another challenge for however the fuck Zelensky and NATO want to get out of all this without losing too much face.

I agree with this retard, actually. Russia was once on the periphery of Europe, but that has changed a long time ago. When Russia became the biggest country on this planet, created its own unique civilization and destroyed euro-invaders time and again. Now, Europe is merely a borderland between Russia and America. "The Greater Ukraine".

A convoy of Wagner and Malian government troops was hit hard in an ambush yesterday; there have been heavy casualties (judging from the videos, at least two dozen). The Tuareg also took prisoners, some of which have reportedly already been ransomed; negotiations are ongoing about freeing the others.

From what I can tell so far, they went (too) deep into Islamist-held tribal territories, pursing enemies towards the Algerian border, and drove straight into a trap with IEDs taking out several of the vehicles immediately and a VBIED hitting the convoy. Air support came too late due to a sand storm.

JNIM, the local Al Qaeda branch, is taking credit for the attack, alongside other Tuareg groops.

Rybar summary of events:

Since July 20th, the Malian armed forces, supported by the Wagner PMC, have intensified reconnaissance and search operations on the Algerian border. These activities were conducted with limited forces to identify positions of militants from the "Azawad Coordination Movement" and Al-Qaeda-affiliated group known as "Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin."

On July 22nd, advanced groups raided In-Afarak, where only fuel storage facilities were found in the settlement. After the army, which had announced taking control of the village, retreated, Tuareg rebels reoccupied the area.

At the same time, a convoy of up to 20 vehicles advanced towards the city of Tin-Zaouatene, the last major stronghold of the "Azawad" militants in the area.

On July 23rd, government forces reached Bougessa. As they advanced towards their goal, the convoy was hit by an IED planted by separatists in the Wadi Tamassahart valley.

On July 25th, government forces encountered "Azawad" rebels 20 kilometers from the city. The first day of the battle yielded results: the militants were pushed to within 7 km of the city, and some groups reached a small camp 2 km from the Algerian border. One of the enemy field commanders was also eliminated.

While the army convoy numbered at most seventy soldiers, the rebels concentrated a force of up to 900 fighters in Tin-Zaouatene, moving their reserves there. The ensuing battles were interrupted by a sandstorm, causing both sides to withdraw troops from the combat line.

The next day, the fighting resumed under the initiative of the enemy. The Tuaregs attacked the field camps and managed to disable part of the armored vehicles. The arriving army aviation was ineffective due to weather conditions, and one Mi-24 was fired upon with anti-aircraft weapons, making a hard landing in Kidal.

On July 27th, government forces began retreating from the outskirts of the city as the Tuaregs continued to bring in reserves. At that time, militants from the Malian branch of "Al-Qaeda," specifically "Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin," acting in concert with the "Azawad Movement," ambushed the Malian Armed Forces and Wagner PMC convoy near the Tin-Ghamira mountains, mining the area.

After the explosion and assault by the Al Qaeda fighters, the Tuaregs arrived, trapping the remaining Malian and Russian forces. The battle ended in a rout and the capture of survivors. Among the killed Wagner PMC fighters was Nikita (call signs "Bely" and "Pyatisotyy"), the administrator of the Grey Zone channel. His death was confirmed by friendly sources.

[...] Wagner PMC, along with the "African Corps", promptly negotiated the ransom of prisoners, concluding two deals.

Wagner and the Russian Africa Corps are sending reinforcements to Mali. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a certain genre of video reappear soon.
