Look at Putin's face. He already knew. China is not a partner: it’s the heir.
With russia’s army crushed in Ukraine and unrest spreading, even the FSB now admits: Beijing has plans for the pieces that will fall.
(Article unlocked)

The rest of us have always known that the Kremlin's natural enemy was China. The russians now have proof of China's plan and are unable to defend themselves.

The New York Times article details it: Russian intelligence services are beginning to openly distrust China, despite the official rhetoric of "boundless" friendship. It is significant that even within the FSB and other security circles, there is discussion that China could take advantage of Russia's current weakness to gain strategic advantage and perhaps seize resources, infrastructure, or even territorial influence in Eastern Siberia.

The russians, who have spent years trying to weaken Europe and the US to gain power, have ended up becoming China's economic and technological vassals.

China will be the one left holding the "pieces" when the russian federation collapses. And if it doesn't provoke it directly, it will simply wait for it to happen.

They are already building trade routes, gas pipelines, and alternative power networks that give them privileged access to Russian resources without having to fire a single shot.

Russia has already lost this war.
Ukraine already crossed the point where it can no longer be defeated militarily time ago.
This chart shows the decline of russian power and the irreversible rise of Ukrainian resilience.
War continues because stopping it means the end of Putin.

This graph tracks the strategic balance between russia and Ukraine from February 22, 2022, the eve of the full-scale invasion, through a projected horizon into 2026.

🔴russia’s Decline (Red Line)
Feb 2022 (100%): Russia was expected to conquer Kyiv in 3 days. It held overwhelming superiority in numbers, armor, and air power.

Mid-2022 (~75%): After failing to take Kyiv and losing in Kharkiv and Kherson, russia’s perceived power dropped sharply.

2023 (~60%): Continued losses in personnel and equipment (over 15,000 armored vehicles destroyed) exposed deep flaws in logistics and morale.

2024 (~45%): Despite minor territorial gains, russian casualties exceed 450,000. Sanctions and isolation weaken long-term capacity.

Mid-2024 (~35%): Drone warfare and Western precision weapons render russian tactics increasingly obsolete. Internal fatigue grows.

2025 (~25%): A breaking point is projected if no strategic breakthrough is achieved and losses continue at this pace.

2026 (~10%): russia approaches a state of military exhaustion. Its economy and manpower cannot sustain further expansion.

🔵 Ukraine’s Rise (Blue Line)
Feb 2022 (0%): Ukraine was seen as fragile, likely to fall quickly.

Mid-2022 (~20%): Unexpected battlefield successes shifted global perception. Morale surged.

2023 (~40%): Ukraine integrates NATO doctrine, Western tech, and forms a hardened, experienced military.

2024 (~60%): With high-precision strikes, strategic defense, and drone dominance, Ukraine becomes militarily unbreakable, this is the turning point.

Mid-2024 to 2026 (75% → 95%): Ukraine’s capability continues rising with international support, while its defense infrastructure strengthens to NATO levels.

This war is no longer about territory. It’s about time.
Time favors Ukraine.
The longer the war continues with sustained Western support, the closer russia approaches its breaking point. The fate of Russia and of Putin, is already sealed.
Like Gaddafi couldn’t escape the mob, and Saddam the noose, Putin won’t escape what’s coming.
It will be the russian people who, once they grasp the scale of the disaster, deliver the final justice.

"Ceasefire" is the most repeated word by Trump, Orban, and Fico in past 3 days.
With 1.7 M KIA/WIA/MIA estimated by Jan 2025, Russia is bleeding out. Yes, Ukraine is paying a price, but Russia is dying.
Now, let’s break it down, using only russian sources. (comments) The most serious study, using Russian data, was done by Dmitry Kobak and others at the University of Tübingen. They found 20,600 excess male deaths in 22 and 37,900 in 23. Given the intensity of 24, it's reasonable to assume at least double that. The first 135,000 are confirmed.

Europe, together with the UK, is already a global power, but with Ukraine, it becomes a superpower.
Our military capability is overwhelming against any threat.
Source of data: IISS 2025 Report (At comments)
Reality shows that there is a lot of misinformation. Europe has more frigates, more submarines (with 8 SSBNs and 10 SSNs).
We have fewer aircraft carriers, but we don’t need them.
Aircraft carriers are offensive weapons, and Europe has no intention of attacking anyone, only ensuring its own defense

Who was really behind the 9/11 attacks in America?
Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaeda, was trained by the FSB in Dagestan in 1997.

In the aftermath of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the world united to fight terrorism.

One figure unexpectedly rose to the forefront: Vladimir Putin.
Russia offered its help to the West, presenting itself as a staunch ally in the "war on terror." This led to an unprecedented rapprochement between the Kremlin and Western powers.

By accepting Putin’s offer, the West turned a blind eye to the authoritarian consolidation taking place in Russia.
Corruption, suppression of dissent, human rights abuses, and the brutal conduct in Chechnya were ignored.

This moment of international goodwill helped Putin solidify his grip on power, projecting himself as a global leader.

Alexander Litvinenko, a former FSB officer turned whistleblower, made shocking claims about the Kremlin's relationship with global terrorism. He accused the FSB of orchestrating the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings, an event that catapulted Putin to power by justifying the Second Chechen War.

Litvinenko also alleged that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaeda, was trained by the FSB in Dagestan in 1997. According to Litvinenko, after his training, al-Zawahiri moved to Afghanistan, where he became Osama bin Laden’s deputy. Another former KGB officer, Konstantin Preobrazhenskiy, supported these claims, adding that Litvinenko himself was tasked with ensuring al-Zawahiri’s secrecy during his time in Russia.

Looking back, the pattern is undeniable.: a regime willing to weaponize terror to achieve its goals, both domestically and globally.

The West’s embrace of Putin after 9/11 mirrors the trap the Russian people fell into when they elected him in 2000.
Putin used fear, control, and manipulation to secure power domestically, and he used the same strategy internationally to gain legitimacy after 9/11. There are few authors who mention that Zawahiri spent half a year in close contact with representatives of Russian intelligence while in their custody.

Significantly, these contacts led to a change in Zawahiri’s political orientation. Long talks with Russian intelligence officers “forced a critical change in his lethal planning. …America, not Egypt, became the target… Freed from Russian jail in May 1997, Dr. Zawahri found refuge in Afghanistan, yoking his fortunes to Mr. bin Laden.... became instead the biggest component of al Qaeda and a major agent of a global war against America. Dr. Zawahri became Mr. Bin Laden’s closest confidant and talent scout.

Kursk. Situation at 10:00 CET on August 24, 2024

Most of the news in the last 24 hours comes from the kremlin channels where desperation increases by the hour. (More in comments)
Official maps confirm that the cauldrons are closing with intense fighting.

The general map shows a decrease in the activities of the red army on the other fronts, so far small.
Except in the central area where they advance millimetrically at the cost of huge casualties that can be seen in the videos that appear every day
(List of losses of both sides with verified videos in comments)

The central cauldron shows that there are troops of the Liberation Army clearing the forests and that the soviet garrison in Malaya is surrounded and that of Kremianoe and Kalinov has either been captured or eliminated.
The kremlin channels show more details than the map itself.
(In comments)

According to local channels and satellite images, kremlin forces erected a defense line near Kurchatov in the Kursk region. It is reported that work on other defensive lines has also already begun.(Photos in comments).

During a phone conversation with Zelensky, Biden announced a new military aid package.
It will include:
-air defense missiles;
-equipment for combating drones;
-anti-tank missiles;

Kursk. Situation at 20:00 CET on August 22, 2024

The advance of the liberation forces gains momentum again.
In the last few hours, a map (unconfirmed) has appeared that, if true, implies that they have also surrounded the kremlin troops in Korenvo and have also crossed the Seym River at some points.

In this new cauldron, there would be the infamous 155th brigade of the kremlin that was famous for cutting off the heads of Ukrainian prisoners.
The posts that I have seen announce that is not expected to be survivors of that brigade.

The general map verified in the comments.

The Kremlin airport in Marinovka has been devastated after a drone attack by the Liberation Army. (Photos in the comments)

The Kremlin's fuel tanks in Rostov continue to explode. (Videos in comments)

The ferry carrying fuel and Kremlin equipment was spectacularly blown up in the port of Kavkaz (videos in comments)

The liberation forces get back on track with significant advances.
Number of prisoners is approaching 2000. Among the videos there are numerous groups of Akhmat-Kadirovites (More at Comments)

The kremlin recruits are unable to prevent the expansion of the areas occupied by the liberation army. The casualties in material and personnel of the kremlin are very high.

Liberation army took control of Goncharovka last night (More at Comments)

Borders are wide open and kremlin guards fled almost in all Kursk region. (More at Comments)

Kremlin accuses its propagandists of having incited panic and begins to arrest some of them.

There is no further news of the second incursion further south and another further north, but it is known that still running.

The huge gap created in Kursk can be seen on the general map where you can compare what the kremlin troops and those of the liberation army are moving. (Video at Comments)

I will continue updating at comments as news arrives. Number of prisoners is approaching 2000. Among the videos there are numerous groups of Akhmat-Kadirovites

August 6, 2024. 1st day of russia's liberation?
More than 10 km of penetration in one day. Maybe more.
What the kremlin troops do in 1 month, the Ukrainians do in 1 day.
It is not a reconnaissance operation, but it is not the main one either.
The russians do not know where the main blow will be.
There are no reserve forces. The russians themselves say that the Ukrainians could take Kursk in 1 or 2 days. Nothing prevents them.
Russian channels accuse each other that lies in the reports have made the invasion easy.
Any movement of kremlin forces from another side of the front is subject to being destroyed with ATACMS, drones and long range artillery.
Ukrainian courage is unrivaled.
Slava Ukraine!

Can't be more hypocrite.
Trump, have accepted money from Paxum, the russian linked bank that finances online porn and exploits his clients with rates 3-4 times higher than competitors who do not work that market.

Vladimir Barsukov the mafia godfather and Putin overlapped in St Petersburg in the 80s and 90s and were said to be so close that while Putin was deputy mayor, Barsukov was the city's 'night governor'.
"bribed officials and removed enemies with almost daily contract killings"

When Putin came to power the first thing he did was get rid of Barsukov.
The Russian Mafia could only have one "Godfather"
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5… Russian mafia now was 'mobilised as a tool of foreign policy in arguably the world's first criminal political war.'
Putin, pictured during his time as Deputy Mayor airlifted in police commandos from Moscow in a 'full military operation' to grab Barsukov – then flew him straight back to Moscow where he was jailed for 23 years for ordering killings, extortion, money laundering and fraud

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the Bucha massacre.
During these 2 years the Russian army has massacred almost 500,000 civilians, destroyed dozens of cities and kidnapped 300,000 children.
Don't talk to me about other tragedies until Russia leaves Ukraine and pays for this.

All the murderers have been identified. (Video) The best report on the Bucha massacre is from the New York Times.

MAGA FAKE: US defends EU with 800BN a year.

1.-US only spends in EU 5% of its budget.40BN
2.-Europe buy from US 100BN in weapons/year
3.-EU has 2 million soldiers in EU. US just 100k
EU is stopping buying weapons in the US.
The fewer, the better.
Trump is also a master strategist.

It's hard to find complete, up-to-date statistics, but one thing is crystal clear:
The US does business selling weapons to Europe and what it gives in return is nothing or almost nothing.

American defense budget is spent on other things in the World, things that interest Europeans little or nothing.

Europe has already seen that the US cannot be trusted as ally.
politico.eu/article/peace-… Although this statistic is from 2018, the percentage that the US uses in Europe remains constant between 4 and 5% of its budget.
Europe always buys weapons twice as much in the US

In one of the poorest districts in America @SpeakerJohnson spends millions, even in non-campaign years, on supposed donations from voters.

He is connected with the Russian LNG American Ethane, which Trump turned to giant with his 26BN deal that went directly to Putin's circle...

The priests of the fake Russian Orthodox Church are KGB (FSB) agents.
They support the war criminal Putin and are widespread in Europe and America.
Anti-LGBT agenda of MAGA and the US evangelical church allow the blockade in the US Congress and the genocide to continue.
Money also helps. Allies in a genocide.

In September 1939, Russia began WWII by invading Poland.
Soviets were allies of the Nazis.
Russian army of rapists devastated half of Poland and in Katyn murdered all the Polish officers.
Russian army still the same mob of genocidal barbarians.
Worst than nazis.
britannica.com/event/Katyn-Ma… And the same speech.
The others are always "nazis"
"On 5 March 1940, pursuant to a note to Joseph Stalin from Beria, six members of the Soviet Politburo – Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Kliment Voroshilov, Anastas Mikoyan, and Mikhail Kalinin – signed an order to execute 25,700 Polish "nationalists and counterrevolutionaries"

Russian soldiers before an attack on Adiviidka.
They have no armor or protection.
Their artillery has ammunition but it is obsolete and useless.
In 10 minutes 95% of them will be dead.

Who does not advance will be killed by the officers behind them.
Many never will be identified, just vanished forever. This is the situation 4 hours ago in Adivvidka.
Russia lost about 40,000 men to conquer 5 square kilometers in 40 days.
Victory is not about keeping it forever. Victory is killing as many more as possible. And here is a good place to kill many by few.
This war causes suffering for Ukraine, and an extermination for russia, which would be unnecessary if Western leaders were less shameful.
