The White House said that the Chinese military has an extensive program of using high-altitude #balloons for reconnaissance.

According to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, Chinese balloons were active during the Trump administration, but they were not noticed ... and only under Biden were they able to track and shoot down.

First year or the Russia-Ukrainian war is almost over
Part 1

Almost a year has passed since the beginning of the Special Military Operation. What has changed in our perception of those tragic events?

At the beginning of the conflict the domination in the international media field of war was almost absolutely hold by the West. Only TG was remaining as a scarce source of uncensored information, after practically all Russian media outlets were banned in the "World of the Free Speech".

While Ukraine has military organisation responsible for propaganda campaign, which is well connected with the "intelligence community" and has affiliated journalists in all major mainstream media, Russia, I believe, erroneously, has gone different way. Top officials in Russia believe that "the strength is in the truth" (which is right) and that there is no need to participate in the info-war (which is wrong).

So Russia has a talking head of Lt.-Gen. Konashenkov, who was boringly reading the "list of ships" like reciting Iliad; RT which has been trying to play by Western rules and nevertheless was banned everywhere; and also Internet Research Agency (aka "Troll Factory" owned by Prigozhin — also PMC "Wagner" founder) which is a private enterprise and which role is very much overestimated. The vacuum became filled up by the southands of DIY patriots and amateur volunteers to the info-war (among which is #TransFormator at your service). That is why pro-Russian propaganda is often contradictory, poorly coordinated and is in a mess generally. Western "fighters with misinformation" are trying to prove that this is a "cunning plan" to offer many versions of one event to "wash out" or "thin" public opinion. However, the truth it that it was simply lack of coordination.

There are certainly some noticeable and talented people in the Russian media, but there is not a single centre that can control and guide the flow and the pace of the info operations. MOD, MFA (here I mean public relationships departments), TV1, RT — they are all doing their job the way they understand it, but even within one organisation the coordination may be poor.

In Russia we have lack of centralised control (which may be good) and also lack of centralised coordination and cooperation (which cannot be good). On the opposite, Ukrainian CIPSO were well coordinated and connected with the Western media.

Despite all that, more people now do understand the provoked and even forced nature of the beginning of the military actions by the Russian Federation. It is typically Russian situation, when some progress is being achieved not "because" but "despite".

Putin in one of his speeches has admitted that to some extent the collective West has achieved its objective and made inevitable the war at Russian borders and on Russian territory:
“This same collective West is the direct instigator and direct culprit of what is happening. If this very West wanted to provoke a conflict in order to move on to containing Russia, then we can say that it succeeded”.

Prof. Mearsheimer, Roger Waters, Peter Hitchens and several other few are trying to convey the message to the Western people. Many facts confirming this has become known only now. The planning of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipe, American "Lend-Leas 2" program directed to pumping astronomical amount of money into the military industrial complex, training of Ukrainian military — all that started before or even long before the beginning of the Military operation. Recent revelations from the Western leaders about their unwillingness to fulfil Minsk agreements is another strong argument justifying the necessity of the military solution.

Russia simply could not just sit and wait, while the loaded gun was aimed at the country and would inevitably fire.

Memo for Ukrainian trainees in the Bundeswehr:

"Dear interns from Ukraine! In Germany, for displaying swastikas or other symbols associated with fascism (for example, SS signs), you can get a sentence of up to three years in prison or a large fine"

I love this

In Germany, the swastika, therefore, is not allowed, but everywhere outside Germany — it is possible.

I wonder, and if the Ukrainians still can't resist and demonstrate, what will it be for them? Is it really a fine or prison?😱

Nothing will happen to them. They can go to the exercises right under the banners of the Reich, all in swastikas and with panzervaffe badges — and nothing will happen to them.

Who will touch them. They 're Ukrainians.

The sacred cow of Europe. Or the untouchables of the Old World. In understanding of the Indian caste system.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN!

Artists Georgy and Anastasia Begma have created a new video art for the day of liberation of Rostov-on-Don, dedicated to the real tragic story of the girls-anti-aircraft gunners who fought in the 734th Rostov Air Defense Regiment. This is not a simple story, but it should not be forgotten.

Another video has appeared showing how in Odessa military registration and enlistment office has “recruited” yet another man on the street.

In OK "South", we recall, stated that after this incident, the leadership of the Odessa regional and district military registration and enlistment offices were brought to disciplinary responsibility.*

*It appears that those methods are to harsh even for Ukrainian propagandists. However, there are too many video evidence to consider it just a "performer's kurtosis".

▪️from the NAZI WHORES section

Madrid, Spain, February 2023

Today, in Madrid neo-Nazis marched in memory of the fascist Spanish volunteers who fought in the Nazi army as part of the 250th "Blue" Spanish Division.

The Spanish "Blue" Division was annihilated by the Red Army in the battle of Krasny Bor in February 1943.

The Blue Division was blockading Leningrad. What's the Spanish soldiers have forgotten there? By any chance, how did the Swedes end up near Poltava?
Europe is the motherland of Nazism.

Since When did Ukrainians Become Entitled to the State they Got?
By Alexander G. Markovsky for the American Thinker

This is the history of the transformation of a tiny area occupied by Zaporozhian Cossacks into the largest country in Europe after Russia, larger than France or Germany. How did Ukraine pull off an expansion of this magnitude without a single conquest?
...
The historical record demonstrates that contemporary Ukraine emerged from a mosaic of lands assembled by Russian conquests and paid for with Russian blood and treasure. Except for a small area of the Zaporozhian Host (the red area on the map), Ukraine has no historical connection to the land it occupies and is the product of Russian geopolitical engineering.

The foregoing is the reason Henry Kissinger wrote, “The West must understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country.”

If Americans had been more aware of Ukrainian history, they would have raised reasonable doubts about the validity of Ukraine’s territorial aspirations. Konrad Adenauer once said, “History is the sum total of things that could be avoided.” It couldn’t be better said about Ukraine; if Czar Alexey in 1654 had not protected the Zaporozhian Host’s Cossacks, the precursors of Ukrainians, from annihilation, we would never have heard about Ukraine.
...
Even the New York Times, no friend of Putin, in its January 9, 2022 editorial, just before the invasion, challenged the wisdom of Ukraine joining NATO and admitted that "Mr. Putin's concerns cannot be entirely dismissed. Were Ukraine to join NATO, the alliance would then have a 1,200-mile land border with Russia, a situation no major power would abide, no matter how loudly the Atlantic alliance claims to be purely defensive."

Whether political naiveté, recklessness, incessant appetite for foreign aid, or all of the above, Ukraine’s tenacious insistence on NATO membership, even in the face of a looming Russian invasion, instigated a war that could easily be avoided.

It was a blunder of historic magnitude.

And, as this failed state, with the borders drawn by the Soviet Union, rotten with incompetence and corruption, collapses in blood and destruction, the eerie premonition is that Ukraine will remain a wasteland for generations.

So, if Ukrainians deserve a state, they may indeed deserve the state they got.

We don’t have to engage in hysterical crusades against Russia and China
Debates about the Ukraine war, and more recently Chinese balloons, show how little tolerance there is for anything but a hawkish response.

Written by Alexander Hill for the "Responsible Statecraft"
...
The West has whipped itself up into a frenzy of crusading zeal. Arguments offered by other state actors for their conduct — often pointing to similar actions by the West — are simply dismissed by Western leaders who are also willing to ignore the fact that Russia and China in particular are major powers with not only significant conventional military capabilities and potentials, but also nuclear weapons.
...
Sadly, a more realistic and culturally tolerant approach to many international issues today would not serve the egos and interests of many politicians who have boxed themselves into a corner over their maximalist stances. Nor would a change of tack, and particularly over Russia and Ukraine, suit Western energy companies or a U.S. military-industrial complex that is one of the principal beneficiaries of the war in Ukraine. However, this kind of realist engagement is ultimately going to be the only way to save the many lives that will otherwise be lost in the sort of clash of civilizations that has brought so much human misery over the few millennia that humans have been able to document their follies.

No matter how hard some might wish, Russia’s war in Ukraine is unlikely to lead to any sort of crushing Russian defeat on the battlefield, and sooner or later negotiations will have to take place. If future negotiations are to be meaningful, both sides will have to give ground and make some attempt to see something of the other side’s point of view.

We can only hope that enough political leaders come to their senses and try to acknowledge at least some credibility in the other side’s position before both the local and global costs of the war in Ukraine and the growing friction with the likes of China increase too much further.

NATO is inviting Europeans to the war...

At the meeting in Brussels this week, defense ministers are also expected to sign off on new political guidance, which will set out the investment requirements for allies to prepare for any potential future military activity.

The classified guidance will plan ways for NATO to simultaneously engage in a high-intensity so-called Article 5 conflict, where allies would have to defend each other, as well as an out out-of-area, non-Article 5 event at the same time, people familiar with the matter said. Article 5 is NATO’s mutual defense clause.

NATO allies will be asked to shift investments toward capabilities needed for collective defense, such as heavier forces, as well as more air and missile defense, a senior NATO official said. The guidance will also underscore the need for more investment in digital modernization and emphasize the need to use data collected from forces in an integrated way. Once guidance is adopted, NATO’s military command will detail requirements for each ally over the coming months.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
Apparently, NATO strategists are trying to work out a way of action, that would cover a situation, when a NATO member is waging a war in the territory, which is not covered by the 5th Article... Should we think about Polish army in Ukraine?

Interview with Seymour Hersh: Joe Biden blew up Nord Stream because he didn't trust Germany
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published a controversial research on the Nord Stream attack. We spoke to him.
An interview for the Berliner Zeitung

Mr. Hersh, please explain your findings in detail. According to your source, what exactly happened, who was involved in the Nord Stream attack and what were the motives?

It was a story that cried out to be told. At the end of September 2022, near the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea eight bombs are detonated, six of which went up in an area where it is fairly flat. They destroyed three of the four large pipelines of Nord Stream 1 and 2. The Nord Stream 1 pipeline has supplied Germany and other parts of Europe with very cheap natural gas for many years. And then it was blown up, as was Nord Stream 2, and the question was who did it and why. On the 7th. February 2022, a good two weeks before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. US President Joe Biden said at a press conference in the White House, which he held with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, that the United States would stop Nord Stream.
....
The people involved in the operation saw that the president wanted Germany to freeze for his short-term political goals, and that horrified them. I'm talking about Americans who are very loyal to the United States. With the CIA, as I put it in my article, you work for power and not for the constitution.

The political advantage of the CIA is that, that a president, who can't get his plans in Congress, can go for a walk with the CIA director in the rose garden of the White House, to plan something secret, that can affect many people on the other side of the Atlantic - or wherever in the world. That was always the unique selling point of the CIA - with which I have my problems. But even this community is horrified that Biden has decided to put Europe out of the cold to support a war that he will not win. For me it is nefarious.

Automatic translation in English of the complete interview

It becomes impossible to shut up and hide the results of the Hersh's investigation. For obvious reasons, the most affected party, Germany, also turns out to be the most interested.

Translated from RusVesna:
Why are ordinary Ukrainians fighting Russia today?

VGTRK (Russian state television) war correspondent Alexander Sladkov outlines the reasons why, in his opinion, ordinary Ukrainians are now at war with Russia.

“Why do seemingly mentally healthy people who lived a normal life wage this war, which is the least beneficial for Ukrainians and Ukraine? What are they thinking and how were they brainwashed to fight?

The first option is motivation. Some part of Ukrainians believes in the superiority of the Ukrainian nation over the Russian horde. Yes, many people really believe in delusional ideas that Ukrainians are real Russians, from whom the Horde stole their history and even their name. An interesting fact, but for several years now it has been customary to call Russia Muscovy on Ukrainian TV, because the real Russia is Ukraine ...

Somewhere next to them are the defenders of the white race from multinational Russia and other variations of such ideologies. Against such a background, Bandera, with their highest value of the Ukrainian state and the struggle against Moscow imperialism, even look relatively sane and liberal.

The second option for the reason to be in war with Russia is that a huge number of Ukrainians believe that they are much better off than Russians and are ready to defend their “well-fed” life. They either do not believe in comparative figures of GDP per capita, because the calculations were carried out according to incorrect, non-Ukrainian systems, or they are sure that the entire GDP of Russia remains completely inside the Moscow Ring Road, and in the rest of the territory it is worse than in the Ukrainian village.

Naturally, any person who has seen the liberated regions of Ukraine, say, along the land corridor to the Crimea (which used to be a highway of republican significance for Ukraine), will not believe this.

But the average Ukrainian either never travelled further than the regional centre, or travelled, but to earn money. Of course, this idea is common among those Ukrainians who did not go to work in Russia. And here is their next point as they see it: since the time of the emergence of the Moscow Principality (and possibly even earlier), Russia has grown rich at the expense of Ukraine, and if it is defeated, then every Ukrainian will become rich.

By the way, this is a variation of Kravchuk's statements of 1991 that Ukraine will become a second France as soon as it stops feeding Russia.

It is absolutely clear that a certain number of Ukrainians are fighting for the illusion of freedom, for some reason, from Russia — such a counterbalance to the above types of motivation. They have changed three presidents and a bunch of parliaments in 9 years. And in Russia there was not even a single Maidan.

The fact that they did not change presidents themselves and that nothing changed from the change of faces, they both went to war and continued to go — in this case, Ukrainians try not to think, as well as the fact that instead of the promised growth of a free economy, and did not begin to live better than under Kuchma, before the first Maidan. But such is the national myth, and they fight for it.

Another common reason is the fear of approaching the front line. Many people know or subconsciously guess how Ukraine "defends" their cities, so they prefer to make every effort to ensure that this happens as far from their home as possible.

Moreover, Ukraine calmly shoots the cities liberated by Russia, but Russia tries to avoid unnecessary victims. Some Ukrainians prefer to frame such fears in a beautiful form with stories about self-attacks (they shoot themselves), while others do not.
