So we are planning to fight China… but are we really? Have we increased war time production? Have we increased infrastructure to repair our Navy? Are we stockpiling ammo and missiles? Are we increasing training? Are we planning on increasing the armed forces? I can tell you: absolutely no. We are doing none of those things.

Get used to this. The WEF fuckers all think they are our betters and will increase the food insecurity and energy insecurity as they keep the masses agitated and fearful.

Russia preparing for a major ground offensive in Ukraine.⬇️

🇷🇺 On January 11, Shoigu made new appointments to lead the special operation:

- Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov appointed Commander of the Joint Group of Forces;

- General Surovikin, Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces General Salyukov and Deputy Chief of the General Staff Colonel General Kim were appointed Gerasimov's deputies;

- Raising the level of leadership of the special operation is associated with the expansion of the scale of the tasks being solved, the need to organize closer interaction between the types and branches of the troops, the Ministry of Defense said.

IceAge Farmer has disappeared.  As in totally gone, and the remaining telegram group mods are quite rude.  As if he has been disappeared and/or threatened.  Something up, but IceAge Farmer is out of the game now.

Follow up, all of his videos on YT for the last year have been removed.

The Covid tests became a cottage industry. All fake.

🇨🇳New protests in China

On January 7, workers at a Chinese factory producing Covid tests staged protests in the city of Chongqing. Soon the protesters clashed with the police.

Why did the protests start? According to some Internet users, Zybio Inc's factory executives have said that workers need to take early leave. Others say that they were either completely left without a salary, or the management did not pay them the entire promised amount.

In fact, both options may be true. Demand for rapid tests has dropped markedly since China ended its crackdown on the virus in early December. Since the Chinese anti-Covid measures were based on frequent and rapid testing, a huge number of people were involved in this system - from those who worked in factories producing test materials to those who helped other people do these tests in special centers and hospitals. . But after layoffs began, which people did not like.

As we have stated. I’m watching for a late January or early February offensive that will finally decide the Ukrainian issue.

Russia's special operation in Ukraine is moving to a new stage.
This is evidenced not only by the personnel changes adopted by the Ministry of Defense, but also by the adjustment of the very management structure of the grouping of Russian troops.
It is noteworthy that the Western press interprets the changes carried out extremely one-sidedly and connects personnel changes with "Vladimir Putin's dissatisfaction with the course of hostilities." In reality, the personnel changes indicate the completion of the previous stage of the SMO and the transition to a new one.
"The permutations are extremely logical. Moreover, Surovikin himself does not go anywhere, but becomes a deputy," the associate professor of the Department of Political Analysis and Socio-Psychological Processes of the Russian University of Economics Alexander Perendzhiev told VZGLYAD.
"The most optimal and logical solution in this matter is to appoint the head of the General Staff as the head," ex–Senator Franz Klintsevich believes.

Something big expected in coming days, we are not talking just about another bombing campaign on strategic infrastructures. Russian MoD preparations for a new large scale offensive in the Ukraine are approaching their conclusion. Could it be a diversion? Who knows... Unlikely anyway.

Meanwhile, the commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces Oleg Salyukov has arrived in Belarus, yesterday he has been appointed as the deputy commander of the United Group of Troops in the SMO.
He is reportedly inspecting military units and subunits of the Russian contingent of the regional grouping of troops located in Belarus.
