“NO STUPIDITY”

Why is the war in Ukraine not a sightseeing tour?

By Sidney Hey

Many were quick to open their big mouths and prejudge the capabilities of Russian troops and the intensity they would face in the war with Ukraine. Only politicians and tabloid journalists masquerading as intellectuals can support a war like the one that is being waged today in Europe itself.

It is always important to remember that the start of Special Operation Z (Victory) was made inevitable by the plans of Kiev and its NATO partners to launch in March 2022 a massive offensive on the Donbass which, besides causing a massacre against the Russian-speaking Ukrainian population, would have hindered an intervention as launched on 24 February of the same year.

It is Zelensky and his cohorts, working under the blatant directive of the Pentagon and with the unveiled support of NATO, who are mainly responsible for the disaster in Ukraine today and the risk of the war setting the whole EU on fire, so what will Joe Biden and his Pentagon generals do to alleviate all the pain that this would bring? Let's not forget the consequences of the Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Was this a blunder by the Navy Seals and the S.B.S.? The energy crisis is a reality and they have made Europeans dependent on expensive US LNG, victims of product shortages and price increases. Are they trying to make Europeans dependent on their food and drinking water as well? 

Washington is doing fabulous business at the expense of the Europeans and the politicians have their mouths shut, surely with the banknotes printed by the Treasury Department.

The lies peddled by the pathetic media propaganda of this side are not only unbelievable but also insulting. When we were in Iraq our enemies had no waistcoats, no Kevlar helmets and thanks to the arms boycott to supply them, they barely carried their AK-47 and an RPG-7 shooter as the mainstay of their attack groups to ambush us. Their ingenuity and persistence got the better of them and we saw that in the Bradleys, the wrecked Abrams and the thousands of wounded who came home. We had the firepower and political power to justify the unjustifiable. And despite that, we couldn't bend their morale and even though it was like throwing a duck, the bastards wouldn't give up.

Look at what is happening in Ukraine today. While Washington, Brussels and London play blind man's buffoonery and don't even bat an eyelid at the presence of task forces operating on the ground with the Ukrainians, we have seen how several “Rambo” have fallen as soon as they got off the truck or the BTR-4 that was transporting them. Because the imbeciles thought they were dealing with improvisers and amateurs; terrible mistake my friend, this is not a tourist war.

The reality of this theatre of operations is very complex. Trench lines are non-linear, covering large stretches of plain, and are often located at nodes on main routes where once there were pine groves that after bombardment are now only scattered splinters.

Even their highly imaginative networks of trenches and foxholes do not escape accurate artillery bombardment, and UAVs are the key to this.

The tactics of assaulting these positions is not classic and it is there that the Russians and in particular the “Wagner” types using novel tactics have broken the backbone of Kiev's defence, most notably the advance into Donetsk Oblast liberating several Russophone settlements, to Soledar and soon to fully seize Bakhmut.

Panic has spread through the corridors of the White House and from there to the Pentagon from where they are pushing the Germans very hard to deliver “Leopard” battle tanks to Kiev, which would mean a declaration of war on Russia. As for the Germans, BND intelligence has been reporting that the level of daily Ukrainian casualties (reaching three figures) will crucially affect the sustaining of the front and this fear is seen on the streets of Kiev and other Ukrainian towns where men are practically being “hunted” to be taken to the front.

It seems that the Americans have once again outsourced their participation under the mask of private security companies like BLACKWATER, which caused so much damage to Iraqi and Afghan civilians. Now a collection of these same guys under the name of MOZART, a security services company based in Suriname (Latin America), probably under the direction of the CIA, composed of mercenaries wearing blue ribbon uniforms and Ukrainian equipment are trying to counter WAGNER's Russian counterpart. 

But as the Americans seem to be no match for these Russian colleagues, the bureaucrats in Washington are trying to give them a helping hand by seeking to freeze the Russian company's funds by placing it on the list of irregular armed organisations. As an old friend would say “Come on man, open mince pies and throw butcher hook, inni” What about American and British mercenary task forces?

The Americans can no longer hide their involvement on the ground. There is no way. Their casualties disguised in Varan uniforms with Ukrainian waistcoats and badges are also scattered in several of the liberated settlements in Donetsk and what does The White House say about that?

All this is made worse by the huge material losses the FSU suffers every day, which are ignored by the BBC, DW and the French media. What does the Institute for War Studies in Washington have to say? Although it tries to blame the latest failures on the Ukrainians themselves, everything else is pure science fiction. I'd like to see them actually step on the ground and feel the hardness of the clay and the slipperiness of the mud that clogs the trucks. I think these guys, who have their asses comfortably perched on a retractable chair staring at an LED screen in a well-appointed office in Washington, are way out of touch with reality. They would have to be told that the colourful aerial shots of the fields collected by the UAVs do not reflect the real danger and brutality on display on the ground.

I would tell them that they have no idea what this war is about and that if they are hoping to throw the boys of the 101st Airborne Division marauding Poland and Romania, they had better think carefully about what they are going to do, this is tougher than they imagine.
