New Chief of General Staff for the Russian side:

"According to the U.S. military, the "Gerasimov Doctrine" represents the most complete embodiment of the latest achievements of Russian military thought in a new type of warfare, which demonstrates the unprecedented integration of all capabilities of national influence to achieve strategic advantages. Based on the discreteness of the idea of war, which was established in Russian culture by Leo Tolstoy's classic novel War and Peace, the Gerasimov doctrine has blurred the lines between the polarized states of "war" and "peace," introducing a kind of analog to the Western idea of an intermediate continuum or "gray zone".[citation needed] American analysts point out that the Russian military's use of the new developments surprisingly inverts some of the fundamental paradigms of armed confrontation that were laid down in the works of Carl von Clausewitz and have been considered immutable for centuries.[16]

For example, Clausewitz's description of war as a "continuation of politics, but by other means" no longer applies in the "Gerasimov doctrine" because it does not consider war as a continuation of politics, but politics as a continuation of war, emphasizing that the effective conduct of politics may involve a broader arsenal of non-military means and methods. Similarly, the Gerasimov Doctrine forces a reconsideration of several other important tenets, such as Clausewitz's military-theoretical understanding of the "centre of gravity" as a key point of effort."

"Combat footage. The view from the other side. AFU in their trench, they are shooting in different directions suggesting they are surrounded."

"RT: According to 🇺🇦 servicemen who surrendered, during the assault on Soledar, AFU & Guard units lost almost 16-17 battalions. W/ large number of wounded/missing, total AFU losses *in Soledar* since autumn may be ≈20-25k."

Insane video.

Ukrainian units overwhelmed and confused. They do not drop their weapons, saying "Allies. Allies." to the Russian.
Perhaps due to shock. Then are killed.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Extremely rare and epic footage of the assault on Ukrainian positions.

A Russian soldier threw a grenade in front of a trench with Ukrainian soldiers, went around them from behind and tried to force them to surrender. However, the enemy soldiers, either from fear or from shell shock, did not understand who was in front of him and tried to convince our soldier that they were "their own", refusing to drop their weapons.

Risking his life, the fighter tried to take the machine gun from the enemy, but he could not, and in the process of a scuffle, he destroyed the Ukrainian soldiers who continued to resist and refused to surrender.

A somersault at the end of a trench is a separate art form.

In the end, he was right.

"My support for Russia or Ukraine hinges upon removal of those barbaric Mongolian watermarks from videos. Whichever side provides pure watermark-free content should receive the tanks they deserve."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian fighters in the uniform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine penetrate the headquarters and destroy Ukrainian officers

In one of the new messages, they write that PMC "Wagner" in Ukrainian pixel camouflage with yellow and green armbands penetrated the positions of the 17th tank brigade through holes in the defense and reached the battalion's command post, where they shot officers and soldiers with pistols with silencers.

I believe that the death toll for both sides of this war are closer to the highest estimates than the lower ones. Extremely tragic.

"Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil."

Ukrainian Activist Lauded By Western Media Says She Wants "All Russians" To Be "Wiped Off The Face Of The Earth"

The genocidal remarks were made by blogger Melania Podoliak in response to a missile hitting an apartment block in the Ukrainian city of Dnepr.

The building was struck after a Russian missile was shot down by a Ukrainian anti-air weapon, according to Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to President Vladimir Zelensky.

“It’s absolutely fair for me to wish for all Russians and Russia to be wiped off the face of the Earth,” Podoliak tweeted.

“It’s not hate speech, it’s not horrible of me, it’s just FAIR,” she added.

It was always obvious to me that James A is actually a woman.

The war for oil myth:

- Big oil companies did not promote the war in Iraq, instead promoted increased trade integration and co-operation in the Middle East.

- The wars in the Middle East actually disrupted their trade with Arab and Islamic regimes in the region.

- The Jewish lobby, not the oil lobby, was what drove the Middle Eastern wars.

- If the interests of big oil really trumped the Jewish lobby, they would be trading with Iran.
