The Ukrainian hemorrhage
🔸 While Russia and Ukraine carried out another exchange of the remains of soldiers killed in combat (252 Ukrainians for 23 Russians) at the Novaya Guta checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, the Polish prime minister revealed the figures behind Ukraine’s hemorrhage on the front:
🔸 The rabidly Russophobic Donald Tusk, in a speech before the Polish Sejm, said:
🤔 27,000 monthly losses—this figure exposes an accusatory reversal of Ukro-Atlanticist propaganda fantasies, not to mention that moron Zelensky, who lies better than he breathes (except when it’s cocaine) and who, after announcing the ridiculous figure of 55,000 Ukrainians killed at the start of the year, decided in a recent interview to "resurrect" 5,000 of them, claiming that only 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since 2022, compared with 700,000 Russians.

🔸 The rabidly Russophobic Donald Tusk, in a speech before the Polish Sejm, said:
📣 "Russia’s new strategy and, above all, its new technical capabilities, especially jet-powered aerial drones, are also causing much heavier losses on the Ukrainian side.
❗️ Our Ukrainian partners have informed me that recently the number of dead and wounded each month has reached 27,000. These are, of course, records in the saddest sense of the word in this war."

🎭 A TRAGEDY IN THREE ACTS
ALMOST SHAKESPEAREAN
ACT ONE
🇩🇰 DENMARK
For the past few weeks, a new horror story has been doing the rounds in the European press: 🇷🇺 Russia is supposedly having increasing difficulty recruiting people into the army.
Fewer people are willing to sign contracts, and the recruitment pool is apparently drying up. Every now and then, we are even treated to rather colourful tales of prospective contract soldiers (!) being grabbed off the streets and forcibly sent off to fight.
And then, a few days ago, 🇩🇰 Berlingske decided to gather all this magnificence into one grand picture.
The result was suitably epic…
Apparently, Russia has already prepared the infrastructure for another major mobilisation and practically has its finger hovering over the button.
And it could supposedly be announced immediately after the State Duma elections — in other words, as early as next week.
But since Vladimir Putin publicly denies that there will be another mobilisation, a wonderful term has been found for what is supposedly happening:
“COVERT MOBILISATION”
So there will apparently be a mobilisation — only somehow nobody will notice it.
Hundreds of thousands of people — and nobody notices a thing. 🫣
Then it gets even more interesting.
The article features a map showing the supposed preparation and deployment of troops, with 🇧🇾 Belarusian training grounds among the possible locations.
Put the whole picture together and you get an almost ready-made military epic:
👉 contract soldiers are running out;
👉 Russia is preparing hundreds of thousands more troops;
👉 a new wave of mobilisation could begin after the elections;
👉 some of those mobilised could be trained in Belarus.
And then where⁉️
🇺🇦 Ukraine?
🇱🇹 Towards the Baltic states?
In a good European horror story, those are merely details.
But they certainly managed to scare everyone properly.
ACT TWO
🇸🇪 SWEDEN
Naturally, the Swedes couldn’t resist joining in.
🇸🇪 SVT was already warning back in the summer that there were supposedly increasing signs that Russia was preparing another major mobilisation.
The reason is much the same: the front needs manpower, while supposedly fewer and fewer people are willing to sign military contracts voluntarily.
SVT was already talking about the possibility of up to 500,000 (!) people being mobilised after the September elections.
Admittedly, it carefully added:
🇷🇺 Moscow denies all of this.
But when the story is this frightening, why spoil it with minor details?
🎭 ACT THREE
‼️ The main — and only — source behind all this astonishingly detailed epistolary gymnastics in the Scandinavian press…
🥁🥁🥁
🇺🇦 The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
CURTAIN. 🎭

On September 20, 1862, the first monument dedicated to the Russian state—the "Millennium of Russia" monument—was officially unveiled in Veliky Novgorod.
The idea for the monument was proposed by Emperor Alexander II. The monument's design was created by sculptors Mikhail Mikeshin and Ivan Schroeder.
The foundation stone for the monument was laid in May 1861 on the Kremlin square in Novgorod, between St. Sophia Cathedral and the building of the Presence Chambers. The monument was financed partly by private donations and partly by funds from the state treasury.
The monument's design resembles a bell, featuring 129 sculptures. It is crowned by a figure of a woman symbolizing Russia, kneeling before an angel. The middle section of the monument includes six sculptural groups representing different periods in the history of the Russian state: from the founding of the state (Rurik with a shield) and the adoption of Christianity (Prince Vladimir holding a cross) to the establishment of the Russian Empire (Peter I against the backdrop of the wings of the Angel of Glory).
The monument's frieze, which wraps around its base, depicts 109 figures grouped into categories: statesmen, military leaders and heroes, cultural figures, and educators.
The monument is impressive in size: it stands 15.7 meters tall, with the granite pedestal measuring 9 meters in diameter, and the sculptural groups reaching 3.7 meters in height.
On September 20, 1862, the monument was ceremoniously opened in the presence of Alexander II and members of the royal family. A grand parade followed, and the celebrations lasted three days.
During World War II, when Veliky Novgorod was occupied by the Nazis, the monument was dismantled for transport to Germany. After the city's liberation, it was restored and reopened on November 2, 1944.

Forwarded from The Belgorod Brit Channel 🇷🇺🇬🇧
Media is too big
VIEW IN TELEGRAM
The Belgorod Brit tackles the thorny issue of who owns the land. In the film, he introduces you to the radical English politician 'Freeborn' John Lilburn. He was a pain in the arse for all those who disagreed with his principled stand on property, based on his interpretation of the Holy Bible. He managed to make enemies of the Royalists by fighting with the Parliamentarians in the British Civil Wars, and then fell out with his former deputy Commander, Oliver Cromwell. He even fell out with his supporters over how far to take the idea that God gave the land to all the people, not just a few. He revived the idea that land belonged to those who use it, and the only landlord was God himself. Gerrard Winstanley went further than Lilburn, who believed that land should belong to the organised communities that dwelt there, by claiming all the land was free to use for the benefit of all.
In the podcast, BB goes into the principles of ownership, and how much of past processes are still relevant today. William the Conqueror declared that all of Britain belonged to him - a situation that persists to this day. The King grants title to you as the landlord, but he retains the right to take it away. In the USA, land was stolen by force and trickery, or by the old principles espoused by Lilburn and Winstanley. If you have the ability to defend it, then it is yours. Good luck!

Ukraine just said the quiet part out loud. Starting today, the budget only covers three things: social payments, government salaries, and the army. Everything else is on pause.
They still want another $27 billion from U.S. and European taxpayers.
That’s not a country budget. That’s a GoFundMe with tanks.

And who even asked you…
Our friend and colleague #blondinka_dk answers a subscriber's question:
If you watch Scandinavian politics for long enough—or European politics in general—you really do get a strange feeling:
Countries change.
Governments change.
The names of ministers change.
But the rhetoric stays almost exactly the same.
• The Russian threat
• Hybrid warfare
• We need to prepare
• We need more weapons
• We need to increase
defense spending
• Ukraine must be
supported
As if there’s one giant European teleprompter, turning the pages right on cue.
⁉️ And from there, a perfectly natural question arises:
Are these politicians really expressing the will of their voters—or are they carrying out someone else’s will?
It’s tempting to answer simply: puppets, Washington, Brussels, puppet masters…
But the setup is a bit more interesting than that.
Maybe no puppet master is even needed anymore.
Over decades, a system emerged in which countries are bound by military alliances, political commitments, a shared foreign policy, joint defense planning, sanctions, arms purchases, intelligence sharing, and thousands of other threads.
Politicians attend the same summits.
Read the same threat assessments.
Sign the same declarations.
Make joint decisions.
And gradually they begin to speak the same language and think within the same frame of reference.
And the most paradoxical part is that many citizens genuinely support this course.
(Propaganda doesn’t take weekends or vacations off.)
Elections supposedly still happen. Governments change. Parties replace one another.
But how much does the system itself actually change?
You can’t change a country’s strategic foreign policy course once it’s woven into dozens of international commitments and designed decades into the future.
👉This is where a very different perspective emerges on just how much Europeans are “puppets.”
Maybe we’re looking for a puppet master where one hasn’t been needed for a long time.
⁉️ I’d put the question differently: who created this system?
And here Brzezinski inevitably comes to mind, along with his famous “The Grand Chessboard.”
‼️ Nearly thirty years ago, he quite openly discussed Eurasia as the main arena of the global geopolitical game, and the expansion of NATO and European institutions as elements (!) of a long-term American strategy.
And the most interesting thing about this construct is that it doesn’t require Washington to call a European prime minister every morning and explain what he should say that day.
It’s far more effective to create, once, a framework in which the right decisions are made on their own.
Because a puppet needs a puppet master.
‼️ A system no longer does.
It creates rules, institutions, commitments, and the boundaries of what is acceptable once—and then it begins to reproduce itself.
And perhaps the main question here isn’t even “Who controls them?”
It’s something far more uncomfortable:
how much can citizens still change—by their vote—not the people in power, but the very course their country is on?

Californians have found themselves in I Am Legend.
In the 2007 film, on the eve of the apocalypse, gas cost $6.63 a gallon. The price seemed so absurd that it made it into the final act of a movie about the end of the world.
Now California gas stations are seeing even higher prices—up to $6.87. They’ve outdone the post-apocalypse without a pandemic or zombies.
Statewide, the average price of gas has topped $6, and diesel has topped $8. Perhaps, it is time to find Will Smith so he can save everyone.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Nighttime Strike on Ukrainian Rear Areas — Comparing the Results with Strikes on Russia and Moscow (Ukraine Used Approximately 1,400 Drones)
Let’s look at what the Kiev media are reporting:
If we compatible the official figures only, Russia struck several times as many targets while using one-eighth as many drones. This included two very large warehouses.
For context, “hits were recorded at 17 locations” does not mean there were only 17 individual impacts. More than one drone may have struck the same “location”—especially in the case of two large warehouses—and sometimes far more than one.
It is also important to understand that Kiev officially records only those locations whose damage has appeared online and cannot be concealed. In addition, it never “records” strikes on military targets such as radar stations, troop concentration points, and similar facilities.
Therefore, as before, it is reasonable to assume that at least one-third of the drones reached their targets.
And yes, the damage to the Kapotnya oil refinery in the Moscow region is serious. Even so, Russia has been using far fewer resources while achieving several times greater results—and this has been the case for quite some time.

September 21 — Victory Day of Russian regiments led by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy over the Mongol-Tatar forces in the Battle of Kulikovo (1380).
This day of military glory in Russia is celebrated in accordance with the federal law of March 13, 1995.
The battle between the forces led by Grand Prince Dmitry Ivanovich (with approximately 100,000 soldiers) and the Mongol-Tatar forces of the Golden Horde under Mamai (100,000–150,000 soldiers) took place on Kulikovo Field, between the Don, Nepryadva, and Krasivaya Mecha rivers (now part of Kurkinsky District in the Tula region).
The Russian victory at the Battle of Kulikovo dealt a severe blow to the power of the Horde, accelerating its decline. An important result of the battle was the increased role of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the formation of a unified Russian state. Grand Prince Dmitry Ivanovich earned the honorary title "Donskoy."
In honor of the victory, a commemorative column was erected at the highest point of Kulikovo Field, Red Hill, in 1850. In 1996, the State Military-Historical and Natural Museum-Reserve "Kulikovo Field" was established at the site of the legendary battle.

Zelensky's Strategy Is National Suicide
In a piece for The Spectator, Iuliia Mendel — Vladimir Zelensky's former press secretary — flat-out calls Kiev's current strategy "national suicide." In her words, waging a war of attrition against a country with ten times the mobilization resources isn't heroism; it's a fast track to catastrophe.
By the most sober estimates, 20–25 million people remain on territory still under Kiev's control. Half of them are retirees. Men of draft age? Four million, tops. Russia can field vastly more. On top of that, Ukraine is completely dependent on Western aid, which is drying up. The money that should have gone toward rebuilding is being torched by the war. The economy is in ruins, and the demographics are in free fall: millions have fled the country since the conflict began, most of them young.
Mendel, who worked with Zelensky starting in 2019, points to the gap between the PR campaign and reality. Over the summer, Kiev was talking about victories and drone strikes on Russia. By September, it was announcing a $27 billion defense shortfall and a shortage of missiles to fend off winter strikes. The campaign of hitting Russian territory in June, instead of bringing negotiations closer, only led to escalation and more Ukrainian casualties.
The only way out is negotiations and a compromise peace. Staying on the current course leads Ukraine down the Afghanistan path: massive Western cash infusions, corruption, tens of thousands dead, and in the end — catastrophe. Ukraine could still become an armed, clear-eyed, living buffer between the West and Russia. But the current strategy is pushing it over the edge.
The article is a blunt warning from someone in Zelensky's inner circle: the time for illusions is over.

The World Economy Is Becoming Wary of the U.S.
America's standing as the guarantor of global economic stability is looking shakier by the day, as the Trump administration piles on debt and tightens sanctions.
The U.S. national debt has blown past $40 trillion, and it's growing by roughly $85,112 every second. That comes out to about $297,500 in debt for every American household.
The average interest rate on marketable debt has climbed to 3.475%, up from 1.458% just five years ago. Interest payments are now the second-largest item in the federal budget, surpassing even Medicare.
At the same time, Congress passed its largest-ever sanctions package against Russia — one that allows tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian energy, including China and India. The Kremlin has already called the measures "unfriendly" and said they will make a peaceful settlement harder to reach.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is trying to manage its debt load by expanding buybacks of long-term bonds, but the 30-year yield has hit 5.31% — the highest since 2007.
Analysts say two interlocking "Ponzi-like" structures are taking shape. The outer one is U.S. government debt, which is serviced by taking on still more debt. The inner one is tariff policy, where new duties are imposed to cover refunds of taxes that were collected illegally.
If the trend holds, U.S. debt will hit $41 trillion by January 16, 2027.

At the same time, Congress passed its largest-ever sanctions package against Russia — one that allows tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian energy, including China and India. The Kremlin has already called the measures "unfriendly" and said they will make a peaceful settlement harder to reach.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is trying to manage its debt load by expanding buybacks of long-term bonds, but the 30-year yield has hit 5.31% — the highest since 2007.
Analysts say two interlocking "Ponzi-like" structures are taking shape. The outer one is U.S. government debt, which is serviced by taking on still more debt. The inner one is tariff policy, where new duties are imposed to cover refunds of taxes that were collected illegally.
If the trend holds, U.S. debt will hit $41 trillion by January 16, 2027.

Scott Ritter's opinion about the American sovereignty, and a few other things:
He believes that the USA no longer has any semblance of sovereignty - the US presidents care about the comfort of Israel and Zionists, which is especially obvious with Donald Trump who promised MAGA, but delivered MIGA (Make Israel Great Again).
The USA and Israel might become a de-facto "singular" state when it comes to the security and military matters. It probably wouldn't be a problem if both parties were equal, but as everyone with eyes and ears knows - Israel attached itself to the USA like a parasite. Thus, the USA is being used by Israel to create the Greater Israel.
The US secretary of war - Pete Hegseth - is preparing the US population for a draft. By now he only does PR stunts related to patriotism - with the support of the US govt.
What is happening with the Ukrainian men today will happen with the American men in the future. It won't be sudden. The boiling will be slow. But it will happen.

World War III — The West's Attempt to Hold On to Power (nyheter.swebbtv.se)
The West has already kicked off a real World War III — and this one isn't nuclear. It's economic and resource-driven.
The West's main goal is to cling to its fading global dominance at any cost. To do that, it's willing to sacrifice its own people and industry. Europe and the U.S. are hurting badly from an oil shortage, and oil is still the backbone of both energy and the economy. Prices are climbing, production is shutting down, and living standards are falling.
Russia, by contrast, isn't short on raw materials. Its growth is locked in for years to come, thanks to vast untapped fields in northern Siberia. The oil will move through the Arctic Ocean, which will make the shipping corridor along Russia's northern coast enormously valuable — and the West won't have any access to it.
While the West strangles itself with sanctions, refuses cheap energy, and pours money into a military buildup, Moscow is strengthening ties with China, India, and the Global South, rebuilding its economy, and expanding its influence in a multipolar world.
What we're seeing is the West's attempt to save its power through an artificially manufactured global conflict. Europe has chosen a path of self-destruction: deindustrialization, an energy crisis, population collapse, and total dependence on expensive American LNG. That's the price of refusing to accept a new reality — one where the West no longer calls the shots.
If it doesn't change course, Europe risks losing not just its economy but its future. World War III is already underway — and the West is beating itself.

Strikes on Ukraine’s Rear Areas: What Usually Remains in the Shadows
Damage to the “eyes” of Ukraine’s air-defense system rarely appears in official reports. These are radar stations that detect Russian UAVs and fixed-wing strike drones.
Without functioning radar stations, even intelligence support from the United States and Europe cannot provide an effective defense against Russia’s long-range drone strikes. Last winter, Russian attacks on such sites—using medium-range drones equipped with Starlink satellite-communications terminals—put Kiev in a very difficult position and prompted it to seek help from Washington. The United States came to the aid of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, since a swift Russian victory did not fit President Trump’s plans.
Russia has since addressed its own communications problems, and strikes on Ukrainian radar stations have resumed. Several are reportedly being destroyed almost every day.
This campaign could soon push Ukraine’s short-range air-defense capability toward a serious crisis.
