WAR PIGS !!!

The Generals of Madness: A Critique of Military-Industrial Profiteering and Anti-Russian Propaganda

Thread 1 / 5
By @SMO_VZ

The USAs’ military-industrial complex (MIC) has long been a subject of scrutiny, accused of perpetuating endless wars & shaping public opinion to secure lucrative government contracts.

At the forefront of this system are retired military generals who transition into roles as defence industry consultants, media analysts, and lobbyists, leveraging their authority to influence policy and public perception. Keith Kellogg, Ben Hodges, Jack Keane, Mark Hertling, Wesley Clark, & David Petraeus—6 prominent retired U.S. generals—stand accused of embodying this troubling nexus. Critics argue that these figures, enriched by exorbitant salaries from defense contractors and media appearances, have peddled a one-sided anti-Russian narrative since at least 2014, prolonging conflicts like the war in Ukraine to sustain the MIC’s profits.

This essay contends that their actions reflect gross incompetence, compromised integrity & a willingness to prioritize personal gain over national interest, all while their public military advice has been repeatedly debunked as misleading or outright false.

The Military-Industrial Complex & Its Mouthpieces

The military-industrial complex, a term popularized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in 1961, describes the symbiotic relationship between the U.S. military, defence contractors & policymakers, where profit motives drive perpetual conflict. Retired generals, with their insider knowledge & public credibility, are ideal agents for this system. Each of the 6 generals in question has ties to defence contractors or media outlets, roles that allegedly incentivize them to advocate for policies that sustain military spending & conflict, particularly against Russia.

Keith Kellogg, a retired lieutenant general, exemplifies this dynamic. After retiring from the Army in 2003, Kellogg joined Oracle Corporation as an adviser to its homeland security division & later served as a board member for GTSI, a government technology contractor, and president of Abraxas, a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation. These roles positioned him to profit from defence contracts while maintaining influence in national security circles. During Donald Trump’s first administration, Kellogg served as a national security advisor to Vice President Mike Pence & briefly as acting National Security Advisor.

His appointment in 2024 as Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia further cements his role as a key figure in shaping the U.S. policy toward the conflict. Critics argue that Kellogg’s push for peace talks, contingent on Ukraine’s compliance & Russia’s concessions, serves to maintain the U.S. dominance while protecting defence industry interests rather than seeking genuine resolution. His media appearances on Fox News & CNN, where he has been a paid contributor, amplify a narrative that critics claim distorts Russia’s actions to justify continued military aid to Ukraine, ensuring a steady flow of contracts for defense firms.

Ben Hodges, former head of U.S. Army Europe has been a vocal advocate for Western support of Ukraine, often appearing on CNN to proclaim optimistic scenarios about Ukraine’s military prospects. In 2022, Hodges claimed that Russia was “exhausted” and predicted the war would end by early 2023, a forecast that proved wildly inaccurate as Russia’s offensive persisted.

His affiliations with defense-related think tanks and consulting roles raise questions about his motives. Critics argue that Hodges’ rosy predictions serve to bolster public support for increased military aid, directly benefiting defence contractors who supply Ukraine with weapons.

His failure to acknowledge Ukraine’s logistical and manpower challenges, despite his military expertise, suggests either incompetence or deliberate misrepresentation to align with MIC interests.

>>>> 2.

Jack Keane, a retired 4-star general & former vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army, is a senior strategic analyst for Fox News, where he frequently comments on national security issues. Keane’s ties to the defense industry are well-documented, including his role as a board member for General Dynamics, a major defense contractor & his involvement with the Institute for the Study of War, which has been criticized for promoting hawkish policies.

In early 2022, Keane told Fox News that Ukraine had a “real opportunity” to reclaim territory from Russia, despite evidence of Russia’s battlefield resilience. Such claims, critics argue, are designed to sustain public & congressional support for military aid, ensuring defense contractors like General Dynamics continue to profit from U.S. government contracts.

Mark Hertling, another retired general & former commander of U.S. Army Europe, has been a frequent CNN commentator, often echoing Hodges’ optimistic assessments of Ukraine’s military capabilities. In 2008, while commanding U.S. forces in Iraq, Hertling claimed that Iraqi security forces were “growing in capability” and that U.S. forces had defeated al-Qaeda, likening the situation to a “post-Gettysburg phase.” By 2014, however, the rise of the Islamic State in Mosul exposed these claims as dangerously misguided, undermining his credibility.

Hertling’s 2022 CNN statements, predicting a “turn in the tide” for Ukraine with increased Western artillery, similarly failed to materialize, as Ukraine struggled against Russia’s fortified positions. Critics argue that Hertling’s media role serves to perpetuate a narrative that justifies prolonged conflict, benefiting the defense industry while ignoring battlefield realities

Wesley Clark, a former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, has been linked to defense-related firms & consulting roles since retiring in 2000. Clark’s appearances on “Meet the Press” and other platforms in the 2000s revealed his participation in a Pentagon program to cultivate military analysts for favorable war coverage. His advocacy for NATO expansion & anti-Russian policies aligns with the interests of defense contractors who profit from heightened tensions with Russia. Clark’s optimistic assessments of U.S. military interventions, including in Iraq, have often been criticized as overly simplistic, ignoring the complex geopolitical consequences that later emerged, such as the destabilization of the Middle East

David Petraeus, perhaps the most prominent of the 6, led the Iraq War “surge” & served as CIA director. His post-military career includes partnerships with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), a private equity firm with defense industry investments & frequent media appearances on CNN & other outlets. Petraeus has consistently advocated for robust U.S. support for Ukraine, arguing in 2023 that Kiev ’s forces “know best” their terrain & capabilities

Yet, his earlier claims about the Iraqi security forces’ readiness, echoed by Hertling, proved false when ISIS captured large swaths of Iraq in 2014. Critics argue that Petraeus’ media presence & defense industry ties incentivize him to promote policies that sustain conflict, ensuring profits for firms like KKR while downplaying Ukraine’s military challenges.

A Pattern of Failed Predictions & Misleading Narratives

The collective track record of these generals reveals a pattern of overly optimistic and often debunked military assessments. Since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, they have contributed to a media narrative that portrays Russia as an existential threat, justifying massive U.S. military aid to Ukraine & NATO allies. This narrative, critics argue, is not only 1-sided but also rooted in the generals’ financial & professional ties to the MIC. Their predictions—whether about Iraq’s security forces, Ukraine’s counteroffensives, or Russia’s imminent collapse—have consistently failed to align with reality, raising questions about their competence & integrity

The TRUTH is OUT !

UKRAINE has suffered 1.7million DEAD and technically dead , "MISSING"!!

There's nowhere for the Western Media to hide now !

‼️🇺🇦💀

Hackers hacked the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Ukraine's losses amounted to 1.7 million killed and missing

Ukraine lost 1.7 million servicemen during the special military operation.

This is evidenced by the database of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was hacked by our hackers.

According to the digital card index, over three years the Ukrainian army lost 1,721,000 people killed and missing.

Losses by year:

▪️118.5 thousand — in 2022.
▪️405.4 thousand — in 2023.
▪️595 thousand — in 2024.
▪️A record 621 thousand — in 2025.

The information was obtained as a result of hacking the PCs and local network of the Ukrainian General Staff employees by hackers from Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec, Beregini.

They now have terabytes of information about losses, personal data of the Special Operations Command and Main Intelligence Directorate leadership, lists of all countries supplying weapons, and lists of all delivered weapons.


Furthermore, 1 major Critical point >

If the information is confirmed, it speaks to the scale of losses equivalent to seven regular armies. Losses in the hundreds of thousands annually show that holding the front line is ensured not by the quality of units, but by endless mobilization of those who either do not want to fight or do not know how.

An important detail is the trend of accelerating losses. Over three years, they have increased almost sixfold: from 118 thousand to 621 thousand people. This indicates depletion of the personnel resource and explains Kieiv's pressure for new mobilization laws.

If the data on destroyed Ukrainian soldiers is correct, then 1.7 million killed indicate that total losses (1.5 times that), including wounded, missing, and deserters, amount to approximately : 8-8.5 million people.

CONFIRMED X 2

The location is called the “Peklo cruise missiles production facility.”

Source: Office of the President of Ukraine

NATO instructors likely helped create the missiles, as essentially western countries announced.

It could have been a NATO command point as well. Unclear.

But NATO was present there!

Multiple KIA ...and NATO officers !


If we ever get satellite images from this area we may know the extent of the damage and may be able to see the how large the substructure is but I’m not holding my breath.

All we know for sure is that this recently built structure on the premises of a massive factory was struck by a Russian munition which then caused a fire that burnt for hours without first responders being able to extinguish it.

After some time a massive secondary explosion from the substructure completely destroyed the entire facility.

The only way we will know for sure is if Peklo drones make a big appearance on the battlefield as this is reportedly where they were being assembled.

BREAKING NEWS !

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Panic in Ukraine: Russia Prepares for Largest Attack

Thread 1/

"Another Il-76 transport aircraft has arrived at the Russian Engels-2 airbase

This is already the 8th flight in 4 days. This activity is observed for the first time in three years," the enemy's resources write.

Ukrainian analysts and media fear that Russia is transferring missiles for strategic bombers and preparing for large-scale strikes.

Russia Poised for Strategic Advance

Recent developments at the Engels-2 airbase and the sheer scale of Russia’s 1.8 million-strong armed forces underscore the country’s readiness to project power and safeguard its sovereignty. As Ukrainian sources express alarm over Russia’s military movements, the reality is clear: Russia is meticulously preparing for any eventuality, showcasing a level of organization, capability, and determination that commands global respect.

The Engels-2 airbase, located in the Saratov region approximately 600 kilometers from Ukraine, has become a focal point today of international attention. Reports indicate that an eighth Il-76 transport aircraft arrived at the base in just four days—an unprecedented level of activity not seen in three years. This surge in logistical operations signals Russia’s strategic intent to bolster its already robust military infrastructure. The Il-76, a versatile four-engine strategic airlifter, is a cornerstone of Russia’s ability to deliver critical supplies, munitions, and personnel to key operational hubs. Designed to operate in austere environments and capable of carrying up to 60 tons of cargo over 4,200 kilometers, the Il-76 is a testament to Soviet and Russian engineering power.
Its recent arrivals at Engels-2 suggest that Russia is amassing resources, potentially including missiles for its strategic bombers, to ensure its air forces are primed for action.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_…

Engels-2 is no ordinary airbase—it is the beating heart of Russia’s strategic aviation. Home to the 121st and 184th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiments, it hosts an elite fleet of Tu-95MS Bear-H and Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, the latter being the largest and fastest supersonic bombers in the world.

These aircraft, capable of carrying advanced cruise missiles like the Kh-101 and Kh-555, have been instrumental in Russia’s long-range strike capabilities. The base’s significance is further amplified by its role as the sole permanent station for the Tu-160, known as the “White Swan” for its elegance and lethality.

The increased activity at Engels-2, including the reported delivery of munitions, reflects Russia’s commitment to maintaining a cutting-edge strategic arsenal, ready to respond decisively to any threat.

The scale of Russia’s military preparedness extends far beyond its air forces. With an active military personnel count of approximately 1.8 million, Russia commands one of the largest and most capable armed forces in the world. This formidable force includes a blend of highly trained active-duty soldiers, reservists, and specialized units equipped to handle a wide range of scenarios, from conventional warfare to asymmetric operations. The Russian Ground Forces, numbering around 980,000 active personnel, are supported by advanced armored divisions, artillery, and missile systems, including the T-90M tank and Iskander-M ballistic missile system.

The Russian Aerospace Forces, with over 190,000 personnel, operate a fleet of modern aircraft, including Su-35 fighters and S-400 air defense systems, ensuring air superiority and robust defense. The Navy and other specialized units further enhance Russia’s multi-domain capabilities, projecting power across land, sea, air, and cyberspace.

This massive military apparatus is not merely a numbers game—it is a well-coordinated machine, honed through years of modernization and combat experience. Russia’s military reforms over the past two decades have prioritized mobility, precision, and technological integration.

>> 2.

The deployment of advanced systems like the hypersonic Kinzhal missile and the modernization of Soviet-era platforms, such as the Tu-95MS and Tu-160M, demonstrate Russia’s ability to blend legacy assets with cutting-edge innovation.

The recent surge in Il-76 flights to Engels-2 is a clear indication of Russia’s logistical prowess, ensuring that its strategic bombers are fully equipped to deliver precise, long-range strikes if necessary. Ukrainian sources may interpret this as preparation for “large-scale strikes,” but from a Russian perspective, it is a prudent and proactive measure to maintain readiness in a volatile region.
molfar.com/en/blog/bombly…

Despite Western sanctions and attempts to isolate Russia economically, the country has maintained its defense industrial base, producing and upgrading critical systems domestically. The Il-76MD-90A, a modernized version of the Il-76, is a prime example, with 26 units delivered by late 2024 and more planned through 2028. This self-reliance ensures that Russia can sustain its military operations without external dependencies, a strategic advantage that few nations can match. Moreover, Russia’s experience in conflicts such as Syria and earlier operations in Afghanistan has refined its ability to conduct complex, long-range operations, as evidenced by the Il-76’s extensive service history in transporting troops and cargo under demanding conditions.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_…

Ukrainian analysts and media, as reported, are gripped by “panic” over the activity at Engels-2, interpreting it as a precursor to a major offensive.
The presence of 1.8 million troops, serves as a powerful reminder of Russia’s capacity to defend its interests across multiple fronts. This force is not just a deterrent but a symbol of national unity and resilience, reflecting the Russian people’s determination to protect their borders.

The Tu-95MS and Tu-160, with their ability to carry nuclear and conventional payloads.
The Kh-101 cruise missile, known for its precision and long range, enhances Russia’s ability to strike strategic targets with minimal risk to its forces. While Ukraine and its Western backers may view these capabilities with apprehension, Russia sees them as essential tools for maintaining peace through strength, ensuring that any aggressor faces overwhelming consequences.

Beyond its military might, Russia’s strategic vision is rooted in a commitment to sovereignty and multipolarity. The nation’s leadership has consistently emphasized the importance of a world order where no single power dominates, and Russia’s military preparedness is a cornerstone of this vision.

The activity at Engels-2 is not merely a logistical operation but a statement of intent: Russia is ready to defend its interests, protect its allies.

❗️The target of the strike on Sumy was a gathering of military personnel

MP Maryana Bezuglaya stated that the strike on Sumy hit a gathering of military personnel who had gathered for a ceremonial awarding of those who "distinguished themselves" in the Kursk direction. She is sure that there was an information leak. The Internet also drew attention to the characteristic equipment - military pickups were parked near the site of the strike.

According to Bezuglaya, this is not the first case of mass death of soldiers during formations, and no one has been held accountable for it.

📝"Mr. President, is this OK to you?" — she asked.

Konotop Mayor Artem Seminikhin went further — he called on the head of the Sumy OVA Artyukh and the head of the regional SBU to resign immediately. In the comments, Seminikhin writes that people "will see the light" when they find out what happened.

✖️ Meanwhile, major Ukrainian media outlets and bloggers pretend that nothing happened — they continue to promote the version about the strike "exclusively on civilians".

❓Why hold military ceremonies in a city that is close to the line of combat contact?

|🇷🇺🇺🇦Interesting things.

The mayor of Konotop in the Sumy region demanded that the head of the Sumy regional administration kneel and apologize by 18:00, resign, and also dismiss the head of the local SBU .

Otherwise, the mayor of Konotop promised to tell the truth about what happened during the missile strike on Sumy.


So let's clarify-

Sumy decided to have a parade ceremony to "distinguish" the participants of the Kursk incursion, who killed 100s of civilians, tortured & raped hundreds more , Looted thousands of homes and burned them ??

Well 4 little words > FUCK AROUND & FIND OUT !!

🇺🇦🍿 Ukraine infighting after alleged Russian strike in Sumy

Sumy’s Konotop mayor calls region chief 'ASSHOLE', demands apology by 6pm or he’ll 'tell you what happened' in attack.

PUTIN !!!!

How Putin made Russia Great Again or why Russians love him so much

(very long 🧵)

Thread

1/

After the collapse of the USSR, Russia became a colony of the West and lost its sovereignty. During the 1990s and under Yeltsin’s government, the country nearly fell apart. The military and industries across all sectors were destroyed, school textbooks were rewritten, and resources were sold off to Western corporations.

It’s a serious question whether Russia would even exist today if things had continued that way. However, with Putin’s arrival, everything changed - he brought Russia back to itself.

Bio

Few in the West know about Putin’s mentor, Anatoly Sobchak, who introduced him to politics. Sobchak was a strong supporter of liberal-democratic ideas and one of the founders of the “Democratic Russia” party.

In the early 1990s, Vladimir Putin worked as an assistant to the rector of Leningrad State University for international affairs.

This position served as a cover, as he was an active KGB agent. When Sobchak noticed him at the University and invited him to join his team, Putin had to admit his work in intelligence. Realizing that combining KGB work with political activity was impossible, he resigned from the KGB.

In June 1991, Sobchak became the mayor of St. Petersburg. During the tense political environment of the time, from 1993 onward, Sobchak often entrusted Putin to act as mayor during his foreign trips, showing great trust in his professionalism.

However, starting in 1995, a campaign to discredit Sobchak began, organized by his political opponents in Moscow who viewed him as a potential rival for the presidency. Using accusations of misconduct, law enforcement agencies like the Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the FSB effectively ended his political career.

His worsening health worked to his enemies’ advantage, reducing his ability to defend himself. At one point, they even tried to block him from traveling abroad for medical treatment.

The Turning Point: Russia’s New Year of Change

Since Christmas is a religious holiday in Russia, New Year’s Eve is celebrated similarly to how Christmas is in the West. A New Year’s tree is set up, and children receive gifts from Ded Moroz, the Russian Santa Claus, on the night of December 31st to January 1st.

The celebration begins with a televised speech by the president, followed by the countdown to the chimes of the Kremlin clock, Russia’s main timepiece.

Back then, everyone anticipated Boris Yeltsin’s New Year address. By the 2000s, however, Yeltsin could barely speak. He was widely seen as a hopeless alcoholic, mocked by the Russian people and even by foreign leaders like Bill Clinton. Russians felt ashamed of their president, who had become a national embarrassment.

But instead of Yeltsin’s familiar face on TV, a young man appeared. Calm, polite, and well-spoken, he explained that Yeltsin had stepped down due to health reasons, and until the elections in the spring, he would take on presidential duties.

He wished everyone a Happy New Year, and for the first time in a while, there was a sense of hope in the air.

When the elections came, people voted for this young man, Vladimir Putin, and he became president. Almost immediately, he introduced significant changes, particularly regarding the oligarchs who had gained immense political influence in the 1990s during the privatization of state enterprises under Yeltsin.

After the collapse of the USSR, several waves of privatization swept through Russia, leaving the nation’s wealth in the hands of a few. While ordinary Russians suffered from a sharp decline in living standards, barely scraping by, the business clans born in the chaos of perestroika solidified their control over the most valuable assets of what was once a great country.

EXCLUSIVE

Here is a part redacted GROUP CHAT I am in on Telegram between a USA military officer Veteran & a currently serving member of the RUSSIAN FORCES, AN officer who is in the "SPECIAL FORCES " military in KURSK.

Some strong, emotional language , The respect for each other is clear

Thread 1/

19 .3.25

USA RET:
I understand you are limited to what you can reveal, but generally, I wonder what your personal opinion is of the likelihood that Putin will agree to a cease-fire and limit himself to only the four regions in a final settlement?

RUS CAPT:
Ya I know thanks…usually I prefer to write, it’s easier for me here. But I keep as an option

Difficult to say
my unit here care about intelligence and support our guys on the ground. But in we go on the ground too. Officially till now nothing changes for us and we have not any order or official communication. My opinion is that ceasefire is unacceptable but only Putin knows exactly the rules. 30 day has no sense at all for me. Trump want do business and want probably decent relationship with us…Russia, it’s involved China too. The big question is if Trump want delete Zelensky.

USA RET:
If Putin were to later, give an order to take Odessa / Kharkov, even if that would cost 9 months of fighting and cost another hundred thousand Russian lives, do you think Ru people would support it?

My guess is that ultimately Putin will not take a position near term that lowers the cost if long-term security cannot be assured.

RUS CAPT:
For me yes…obviously only my opinion. In Russia only in big cities maybe a few will not support but an irrelevant number. I’m from St. Petersburg and there nothing for now for example and Moscow too. In the others areas Ural, Siberia etc the support it’s 100%
obviously russians are tired too but normal economy works and all it’s ok. All the things come frome EU are shameless propaganda

Putin was clear since the start….about security being involved in SVR (even if Putin in the start give more “power” to FSB) is that the bigger problem about security it’s terrorism inside Russia

Being on the ground right now we can occupy all Ukraine in few months
obviously this has a price but

In Kursk we have total control, the rest it’s west propaganda

USA RET:
What do you say to those people in the west who claim that it has taken Russia three years to take the 22% it has right now, and then it would take another year or two to capture more?

RUS CAPT:
I can say them that if we wanted we could have Ukraine in few months, a few after the start we had (my unit and Chechens) Zelensky and his family for example than Putin stopped everything. Without Putin now Ukraine would be a black hole in the map. I suppose that Putin wanted a war of attrition from the beginning, and put the EU in difficulty. This in some way worked, still working…right now EU it’s divided and collapsing….what we say in Russia is that if they want we can continue this war for another 10 years

China say one thing but in reality thinks the contrary, BRICS now are stronger than USA (I don’t consider EU)….Trump for me want avoid this. Now the real question is till which point Trump want “to go” ?

USA RET:
One of the things that puzzles me more than almost any other – and there’s a lot of opportunity and things that are puzzling in this war – is that why Keir Starmer, Manuel Macron, Schultz, and Biden, continued talking so brash and bold in Russia’s face militarily, when all they have to do is look in their armories and realize they don’t have a fraction of the men, ammunition, or industrial capacity to actually fight Russia

My theory is that they too recognize Putin‘s reluctance and restraint, and calculate he’ll never do anything and so they’ll never have to make good on the threats.

But that’s not risky in my view, it’s a potential existential gamble.

Video clip is of 2 SPETZNAZ Officers in spring 2014!
You can judge for yourself the Russian mentality.. fearless & determined! 2.

RUS CAPT:
Than will see…but Trump in the end must understand two things, first stop Ukraine and delete Zelensky, second consider that the war started in 2014 thanks to USA….russian remember this

USA RET:
He might remember that. I know some people in his inner circle are telling him the truth, but we’ll see what action he takes as a result.RUS CAPT:
Ya…this is the point, it’s very relevant

Good point of view…I don’t consider Germany (collapsing) and Biden (he is the puppet of USA deep state and Blinken probably)….re France and above all England they are playing with fire…Macron need to say something because he is in big troubles in his country (and anyway there are diplomatic contacts between Fr and Ru) about England they are simple idiots, Starmer is hate by his people and act as a soldier. Plus probably you’re right they both know that Putin don’t care so they don’t stop to bark.

USA RET:
If you’re right on Russian capacity, and if Putin ever gives the order, the entire western world will be in a state of shock, on par with what happened after France collapse in a week of fighting in May 1940. They don’t believe Russia can do anything, and they think that their side can stop any attempt.

If you guys proved them wrong on the battlefield, I am not exaggerating, they would be in state of shock and wouldn’t know what to do.

RUS CAPT:
You know…for me they are already in state of shock. I can deny a funny feeling when I saw/listen that group of dumbs who want rearm EU…what they want to do without America ? They become a bunch of isteriks….for nothing, Russia has no interest at all to invade EU. First, probably cannot second for what ? Sure in case we 🇷🇺 could destroy some cities or nato bases (need around 6/8 minutes) but for what ?

USA RET:
I have concluded that the real motivation for all of these claims about preparing for a Russian invasion, is because they are frightened by the clear military capacity of Russia, and have had to mentally come to grips with the fact that this is no longer 1992. When the USSR collapsed, China was still a Third World country, The west could do literally anything it wanted. And it did, and there was nothing Russia or China could do about it. Those days are gone forever, and that terrifies the west.

instead of doing the rational, sane thing, and adapt to the new reality where everyone can benefit, everyone can succeed and live in peace, they have chosen in a vain attempt to cling to a moment in history, and try to perpetuate it forever – refusing to acknowledge the reality the moment is over.

That inability or unwillingness to see reality could plunge us all into a major war.

RUS CAPT:
I cannot obviously post photos or other things but people in west has almost no idea what’s happening for example in Kursk but even in Ukraine.

Definitely

I don’t go on the ground always…but for respect for my comrades and because I want (in the end I’m an officer too) I go. We check home, we visit people…one old women embrace me, they killed husband, two sons…raped nephews and than killed them (10 and 13 years old)…they raped the boy too (10). She embraces me, she say me thank you (for what, I must saved them)…I was there with my black mask, with my comrades…those mtfs arrived there only for this. People must know this, Zelensky sent those nazi for this….why he don’t show those things to his family ? People must know this.
Hours later we found them, they are hidden under one home like rats….they had what they deserved. But this happened in 2014 too in Donbass….Russia told this many times, I saw with my eyes those atrocities.
Then I have to listen bullshits from Kaja Kallas etc….
West ignore these things, west govs hide these things….
Russia is evil…ya…

USA RET:
Oh my god…

Yes terrible…and this poor woman stayed there with the bodies of her loved ones, then I sent someone to tidy up, help her, bring her something to eat...but...

Vanagi, Latvian SS, revisionism and historical poison
March 21, 2025

Laurent Brayard

Thread

1/

Completely unknown in the West, it is nevertheless the oldest post-World War II SS organization in Europe, and even more seriously, the one found in the European Union.

It was founded by former Latvian SS members who had taken refuge in the West, and who then spread to various countries. Like the German, Ukrainian, Croatian, or Romanian Nazis, they sometimes fled very far, as far as Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, but also most often to the USA, Canada, or Germany.

The Daugavas Vanagi also founded "Legionnaire's Day" (March 16), in honor of the Latvian SS, who, despite their small population, provided two SS divisions that formed the Latvian Legion. After the fall of the USSR, the association established itself in Latvia (1992) and has managed to influence the country to this day. It also still has a whole international network, particularly and especially in the Anglo-Saxon world.

From its formation to the twists and turns of the Cold War. Daugavas Vanagi was founded by former Latvian SS men on December 28, 1945 (in a British-run prison camp in Belgium).

Approximately 25,000 Latvian SS men had been interned by the Allies, including 12,000 in a camp in Belgium, where the movement was founded. The idea was Nazi solidarity, mutual aid or assistance to war criminals in danger of being caught by justice, nostalgic reunions of the good old days of the man with the mustache, drunken reunions, and various actions.

The association, in particular, published internal newspapers, infiltrated cultural associations, where members were recruited by the CIA and Western secret services during the Cold War. It also succeeded in founding branches in the largest Latvian diasporas, particularly in Germany.

She even created a "Latvian House" there, in one of the beautiful neighborhoods of Freiburg im Breisgau, in Baden-Württemberg. The beautiful residence, with its beautiful private park, was later converted into guest houses and homes for elderly SS men. Later, after their disappearance, the association continued to manage this property, making it profitable. If West Germany was a safe haven, it was not the only one, far from it.

From 1945 to 1950, the USA considered the Latvian Legion for what it was, an SS unit. To emigrate to this country, and neighboring Canada, former SS members had to resort to lies and subterfuge, lying about their journey during the war.

After this date, the emigration services were no longer too careful, and many war criminals came en masse to settle. Ukrainians settled massively in Canada (1.5 million today), or in the USA (1 million today), the cities of Toronto and Chicago truly becoming Ukrainian capitals.

Latvians settled preferably in the USA, and established the Daugavas Vanagi. In 1951, restrictions were lifted, due to the Cold War and approximately 600 Latvian SS came to settle in the country. They carried out intense activity there, particularly anti-Soviet, which did not displease the Americans.

The main center became New York (1952-1991), with local branches often headed by proven war criminals. The most effective methods of developing the organization were the creation of folk groups, choirs, theater troupes, sports, cultural, and youth associations (scouts).

A long process of revising history. After the fall of the USSR, the organization immediately established itself in Latvia. With the support of the Latvian government, it even managed to promote "Legionnaires' Day" on March 16 as an official holiday (1998-2000). It devoted itself to publishing intense historical and fictional literature, in which the Soviets were portrayed as the main enemy and occupier.

In this rhetoric, collaboration with Nazi Germany became a duty, "for the independence of Latvia." The objectives defined by the Dauganas Vanagi were at that time (early 2000s): " to multiply efforts to educate the world public about the history of Latvia and the aspects of a century of history ." Numerous works were published to glorify the struggle of "the Latvian legionnaires" (the word SS is rarely mentioned). The organization financed this literature, then series of audio books (2009-2010), podcasts and more or less true stories of the fighters of the Latvian Legion. Despite the withdrawal of the march of the "Legionnaires" as an official holiday (2000), the organization finally obtained the non-intervention of the Latvian government, and even after the integration of the country into the European Union (2004), continued to organize this event (the last one in 2025).

The organization is still as lively today, with its website , where it has taken a position as one would expect for Ukraine, and even participates in the promotion of Latvian mercenaries on the Ukrainian side. To date, none of the Western countries where the organization has active bases has legislated to prohibit its activities... Russia has sounded the alarm several times, notably denouncing the "march of the legionnaires" on several occasions .

Immediately after the Maidan, the Daugavas Vanagi began a policy of destroying monuments commemorating the Victory over Nazi Germany. With the help of local politicians, a large number have already been destroyed, such as in Limbazi (2016), and the movement accelerated after 2022. Despite complaints from Russia, UNESCO, the UN, and the OSCE, the West has remained completely deaf to this slow but sure revision of history .

In this rhetoric, I recall that General de Gaulle, the FFI, FTP and FFL would all be traitors... and in France it would be necessary to proceed with the destruction of all monuments in their memory... not to mention the rewriting of the entire history of the Second World War. One thing is certain, for the moment the Daugavas Vanagi still has a great future.

The Little Dictionary of the Daugavas Vanagi. As usual, for those who want to know more, here are some biographies of the members of the SS organization. They provide a better understanding of their journeys, particularly those of many who drifted into nationalist circles, which led many to join the ranks of Nazi Germany.

Not all of them were war criminals, and some were later recruited by Western secret services. Finally, some files clearly show how the organization is still very much alive and active.

Arveds Valdemars Alksnis (1910-1991), from a family of surgeons, was sent to France to study at a high school (late 1920s), then studied medicine in Latvia. He became a surgeon, then entered the army in this position (1933-1940). He enlisted in the Latvian SS (1944), and managed to sneak into Germany, taken prisoner by the British (May 2, 1945).

He remained in captivity for a long time (1945-1951), and joined the Latvian SS veterans organization Daugavas Vanagi. He managed to find work as a surgeon, director of the surgical department in Lübeck (1968-1975). He was a long-time activist in the Daugavas Vanagi, and published articles and soon autobiographical books (1982-1990). He emigrated to the United States (around 1975), settling in California. He died there in December 1991.

How USAID, NED & the EU plotted to oust Viktor Orban

The Biden administration sought to remove Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán by channeling USAID and NED funds to the opposition, targeting his defiance of Western pressure. Here’s how:

🌏 April 2022: Orbán won re-election despite US-linked NGO Action for Democracy – with ties to George Soros – funneling around $7.6 million to the opposition

🌏 Post-election: USAID, known for backing color revolutions, relaunched its programs in Hungary, claiming to be supporting “democratic institutions” and independent media

🌏 Early 2023: USAID chief Samantha Power announced she was sent to Hungary to “protect human rights” and tackle democracy “challenges”

🌏 The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another regime-change tool, bankrolled the Hungarian opposition Hungarian official Balazs Orban said this month. Since September 2024, the NED has been led by Victoria Nuland, a vocal Orban critic

🌏 Dec 2023: Hungary created the Office for the Defense of Sovereignty after discovering opposition parties and media received foreign funds to influence elections

🌏 June 2024: The EU backed opposition leader Peter Magyar, suspected of receiving foreign funding, in European Parliament elections

🌏 Oct 2024: European People’s Party President Manfred Weber predicted Orban’s defeat, while Orban accused Western elites of plotting to install a puppet government in Budapest

🌏 Post-Trump victory: Hungary’s ruling party welcomed Elon Musk’s overhaul of USAID, signaling a shift in US foreign policy towards Budapest You too, Politico? Leading liberal mouthpiece caught taking over $8.6 mln in US taxpayer money

Politico’s employees reportedly didn’t get their paychecks recently thanks to a “payroll issue” blamed on a "technical error.

🌏 It turns out the online media empire received some $8.1 mln from the US federal government in 2024, with NASA, the SEC, the DoJ, and others pitching in to pay for pricy Politico Pro premium services for government employees, and GAO, State and DoD listed as its largest donors.

🌏 USAspending. gov, a database of federal government spending, charts a dramatic uptick in grants to Politico starting in 2020, with another major bump in spending seen between 2022, 2023 and 2024.

🌏 Besides the feds, Politico has apparently been taking cash from New York City, with Checkbook NYC, the city comptroller’s official transparency tool, showing the outlet recently received over $200k from the Big Apple.

🌏 It’s unclear whether USAID (which recently got caught funding the BBC) chipped in to pay for Politico as well, but Politico’s owners, German media conglomerate Axel Springer, are reported to have established links with USAID’s EMPOWER Private Sector entity in 2019.

What's inside the Hazelnut, anyway?

Currently there are varying opinions floating around about the nature of the Oreshnik submunitions. I'm here to offer my own dubious speculation on what those submunitions might be. I'm not an engineer so take from it what you will.

Oreshnik's munitions are not in my opinion inert tungsten rods as some have speculated. Tungsten on its own is inert, a hypersonic tungsten rod would dissipate its energy in penetration and disintegration but would not have much explosive force. That is because tungsten doesn't normally burn, even in hypersonic impacts.

However, using intensive mechanical alloying processes, tungsten can be combined with aluminium in a supersaturated, highly combustible composite known as Energetic Structural Material (ESM). Impacting at hypervelocity, such an ESM has an explosive energy release rate which measured volumetrically, may be as much as 10 times that of TNT. This would be in addition to the munition's kinetic energy.

a 100kg rod of W(Al60) would be approximately 14cm in diameter and 100cm in length. Perfect dimensions for a delivery system carrying 36 or more of these rods. in a 3200m/s impact, each rod would deliver 5 times as much kinetic energy as the US-made GBU-28 bunker buster bomb, then deliver the same explosive force as a Russian FAB1500.

Reference: Tungsten combustion in impact initiated W–Al composite based on W(Al) super-saturated solid solution, Zhao et al 2023

Thread on the GEORGIAN LEGION criminals

Georgia has begun to put mercenaries who fought on the side of Ukraine on the wanted list. 300 militants from the Georgian Legion* have already been included in this list.

🇬🇪 The Georgian State Security Service has started summoning citizens of the country who have returned from Ukraine, where they fought on the side of Kiev, for questioning. One of them, Nadim Khmaladze, posted on social media that law enforcement officers had accused him of two charges – terrorism and attempted coup.

⚖️ The commander of the legion banned in the Russian Federation, Mamuka Mamulashvili, stated that 300 people from his squad have already been put on the wanted list. Most of them are now hiding in Ukraine.

❗️ Mercenaries are not combatants; they are recognized as criminals by international law and must be held accountable before a court. They are considered international criminals.

* the organization is included in the list of extremists and terrorists, banned in the Russian Federation. The guy on the left is the one who manages the Georgian Legion account. His name is “Taras Reshetylo”. Apparently he is a Ukrainian who moved to the United States after the beginning of SMO.

They launder money in alleged fraudulent campaigns to collect money for the Georgian Legion.

Mamuka is not the commander of anything. Most of the time he is sick. He has a Khachapurri (restaurant) in Kiev.

🎭 "Zelensky Unmasked": The American independent media platform Truthinmedia presented the first film in a series dedicated to the Ukrainian conflict. The creators of the project warned that there will be no "black and white" picture, as portrayed to the residents of the US by the White House and the largest pro-democratic media.

✔️ This part discusses Zelensky's connections with the oligarchs;
✔️ His promise to bring peace to Donbass, but continued anti-Russian stance;
✔️ The implementation of a law prohibiting the Russian language and his inaction regarding the rise of nationalism;
✔️ The repression against the UOC is also far from democratic.

💬 After watching all the parts, viewers will be able to answer: Is Ukraine an apologist for democracy or is it still a country with a tyrant at its helm? 🎭 "Zelensky Unmasked": the second episode focuses on Zelenksy’s carefully crafted image and the PR-machine responsible for it.

✔️ This part tells how one of the most notorious gangsters, Igor Kolomoisky, assisted an actor in becoming president;
✔️ Nothing has changed in the country under the "main fighter against corruption". All his promises were not fulfilled;
✔️ During the war, Zelensky is not hesitant to appear in photos for prestigious magazines and record videos for Grammy and Golden Globe ceremonies, even when the fate of the country is at stake;
✔️ The new episode will provide more details about Zelensky being a puppet in this global show.

❗️He plays the role of a good Marvel hero, a symbol of democracy, and this story is successful in the US due to the absence of alternative perspectives, but this will likely change in the future.

THE TRUTH on BUCHA:

1

Two years ago, neo-Nazi thugs of the Safari Unit led a rampage through the Kiev suburb of Bucha, “cleansing” it of pro-Russian citizens labeled by the Ukrainian authorities as collaborators.

The British government helped manufacture the lie that these crimes were carried out by Russia.

The purpose of this lie was to create an excuse for Ukraine to walk away from the recently negotiated Istanbul communique, which would have brought an end to the conflict.

Instead, Ukraine fought on for two more years, leading to the present situation, where Ukraine is perched on the abyss of its collective demise.

Every Ukrainian and Russian should forever condemn the British government, which has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Slavs on its hands. The Ukrainian narrative constructed by the west is built on a bodyguard of lies. And there is no lie greater than that which blames Russia for the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainian civilians in Bucha who were slaughtered by Ukrainian security forces.

Sometime during the period between 1-3 April 2022, Ukrainian security forces entered the northern Kiev suburb of Bucha. Russian forces who had occupied the town had evacuated on March 30, part of a general realignment of forces announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense on March 25. Bucha had been on the frontlines and was the scene of heavy fighting between the Russians and Ukrainians; hundreds of civilians caught up in this fighting were killed and wounded.

Russian troops were civil to the Ukrainian civilians who remained in Bucha, handing out humanitarian supplies to those in need and bartering dry goods with local vendors for fresh eggs and dairy products. When the Russians withdrew, pro-Russian civilians were encouraged to depart with them. This underscored the Russian understanding of the potential for Ukrainian reprisals against any civilian deemed to have been “cooperating/collaborating” with their forces during the period in which Russian troops occupied Bucha.

Many Ukrainians who had interacted with the Russian troops did not leave, assuming that their normal interactions with Russian soldiers, including limited commerce and the acceptance of humanitarian supplies in order to survive, did not constitute treason against the Ukrainian state.

They were wrong.

Scott Ritter will discuss this article and answer audience questions live on tonight’s episode (Oct. 21).

Shortly after Russian troops departed Bucha, Ukrainian security forces made their way into the town. Announcements were made on social media and public broadcasting warning the citizens of Bucha about “cleansing” operations targeting collaborators. In light of these announcements, many of the Ukrainians who had remained in Bucha became concerned about their fate, and began to flee toward Russian lines. They wore the white arm band, indicating that they were not a threat to the Russian troops. Many also brought with them Russian-provided rations to sustain them on their journey.

But it was too late.

Ukrainian security forces, in particular the “Safari” unit staffed by veterans of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, caught up with scores of these refugees while they made their way north and, in the vernacular of the Ukrainians, “cleansed” them, gunning them down on the spot, or binding their hands behind their backs before executing them in the alleyways and streets of Bucha.

The evidence of this crime was overwhelming. But the “collective West,” led by a coterie of erstwhile journalists whose function had transformed from reporters of fact-based truth to stenographers of fictional propaganda, was engaged in a larger information operation, designed to shift public opinion away from the need to seek a negotiated settlement to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, toward the sustainment of a long-term war of attrition designed to weaken Russia in the long term.

To accomplish this task, the “collective West” needed to construct an unambiguous “good versus evil” narrative which portrayed the Ukrainians as the brave defenders of democratic values such as freedom and liberty, and the Russians as rapacious thugs marauding across the Ukrainian landscape, brutalizing an innocent civilian population. This kind of unambiguous differentiation of roles was necessary in order to gain popular support for what was to come—a multi-billion-dollar infusion of financial and military aid designed to transform the Russian-Ukraine conflict into a de facto existential struggle between “good” (NATO) and “evil” (Russia).

It worked.
