Seriously? That clown droned on and on about how Russia would be in Kiev in weeks when it broke out. Then months. Then said no way Kharkiv and Kherson would fall. And now he's been predicting the end for Ukraine for 18 months and here we are, Russia still trying to take the same village they have been fighting for since 2014.

Once more, the evolution in Chinese-Russian relations has only benefited/happened in such a way due to the Biden Ukraine project, and that evolution is precisely why Xi let Biden know he will be taking Taiwan next;Quote:
People are now fully eligible for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in "Disability Group III," comprising people who:
1. Are missing or blind in one eye
2. Are partially deaf
3. Have a tracheotomy
4. Have jaw defects that prevent normal chewing
5. Suffer from dwarfism (<130cm for men)
6. Have a missing or nonfunctional arm
7. Have an amputated leg up to the thigh
8. Are missing fingers
9. Are missing both feet
10. Have a pacemaker implanted
11. Have only one working kidney
12. Have only one working lung
13. Have suffered from "traumatic castration"
14. Have a brain abscess (!)
15. Have a substantial skull defect
16. Have Parkinson's (!)
17. Have extreme scoliosis
18. Have severe chest deformities
19. Have "severe adrenal insufficiency" (it's a war eh?)
20. Have no bladder.
None of this of course has been in American interests, let alone Ukrainian. The point of fact should be made that Biden has long been a compromised sell out (treasonous) leader whose administration has acted consistently in Beijing and Moscow's interests, which makes sense since he's been getting the familia paid by them for 20 plus years.Quote:
The social involvement is classic Russian/Soviet. Prior to Yeltsin, Gazprom was a 100% public utility but was subjected to partial privatization. Some of the story is at the link in the opener. As you read Pepe's essay, recall what you've been reading over the last several months about Russia's plans and motivation. When you're done, allow yourself to contemplate. Here's Pepe:…Quote:
2023 may be defined for posterity as The Year of the Russia-China Strategic Partnership. This wonder of wonders could easily sway under a groove by who else Stevie Wonder: "Here I am baby/ signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours."
In the first 11 months of 2023, trade between Russia and China exceeded $200 billion; they did not expect to achieve that until 2024.
Now surely that's One Partnership Under a Groove. Once again signed, sealed and delivered during the visit of a large delegation to Beijing last week, led by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and revisited and upgraded the whole spectrum of the comprehensive partnership/strategic cooperation, complete with an array of new, major joint projects.
Simultaneously, on the Great Game 2.0 front, everything that need to be reaffirmed was touched by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's detailed interview to Dimitri Simes on his Great Game show.
Add to it the carefully structured breakdown written by head of the SVR Sergey Naryshkin, defining 2024 as "the year of geopolitical awakening", and coming up with arguably the key formulation following the upcoming, cosmic NATO humiliation in the steppes of Donbass: "In 2024, the Arab world will remain the main space in the struggle for the establishment of a new order."
Confronted with such detailed geopolitical fine-tuning, it's no wonder the imperial reaction was apoplexy revealed epidermically in long, tortuous "analyses" trying to explain why President Putin turned out to be the "geopolitical victor" of 2023, seducing vast swathes of the Arab world and the Global South, solidifying BRICS side by side with China, and propelling the EU further into a black void of its own and the Hegemon's making.
Putin even allowed himself, half in jest, to offer Russian support for the potential "re-annexation" of country 404 border regions once annexed by Stalin, eventually to be returned to former owners Poland, Hungary & Romania. He added that he is 100% certain this is what residents of those still Ukrainian borders want.
Were that to happen, we would have Transcarpathia back to Hungary; Galicia and Volyn back to Poland; and Bukovina back to Romania. Can you feel the house already rocking to the break of dawn in Budapest, Warsaw and Bucharest?
Then there's the possibility of the Hegemon ordering NATO's junior punks to harass Russian oil tankers in the Baltic Sea and "isolate" St. Petersburg. It goes without saying that the Russian response would be to just take out Command & Control centers (hacking might be enough); burn electronics across the spectrum; and blockade the Baltic at the entrance by running a "Freedom of Navigation" exercise so everyone becomes familiar with the new groove.
That China-Russian Far East symbiosis
One of the most impressive features of the expanded Russia-China partnership is what is being planned for the Chinese northeastern province of Heilongjiang.
The idea is to turn it into an economic, scientific development and national defense mega-hub, centered on the provincial capital Harbin, complete with a new, sprawling Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
The key vector is that this mega-hub would also coordinate the development of the immense Russian Far East. This was discussed in detail at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok last September.
In a unique, startling arrangement, the Chinese may be allowed to manage selected latitudes of the Russian Far East for the next 100 years.
As Hong Kong-based analyst Thomas Polin detailed, Beijing is budgeting no less than 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) for the whole thing. Half of it would be absorbed by Harbin. The blueprint will reach the National People's Congress next March, and is expected to be approved. It has already been approved by the lower house of the Duma in Moscow.Yes, Russia's aim is to confiscate the Outlaw US Empire 's abilityits freedomto act unilaterally and foment chaos globally. That aim is shared by the vast majority of nations, and they are finally acting together to attain that goal. 2024 promises to be an important if not pivotal year. So, as you relax with friends and family as we approach the new year, take comfort that although peace doesn't seem close the Big Picture shows Humanity is actually advancing as it's closer than ever before.Quote:
Danila Krylov, researcher with the Department of the Middle East and Post-Soviet Asia at the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, offers a straightforward insight:
"I view the fact that the Americans are getting involved in Yemen as part of a great game [scenario]; there is more to it than just a desire to punish the Houthis or Iran, as it is more likely driven by a desire to prevent the monopolization of the market and hinder Chinese export deliveries to Europe. The Americans need an operational Suez Canal and a corridor between India and Europe, while the Chinese don't want it because these are two direct competitors."
It's not that the Chinese don't want it: with the Northern Sea Route up and running, they don't need it.
Now freeze!
In sum: in the ongoing, ever more fractious War of Economic Corridors, the initiative is with Russia-China.
In desperation, and no more than an option-deprived, headless chicken victim in the War of Economic Corridors, the Hegemon's EU vassals are resorting to twisting the Follow the Money playbook.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has defined the freezing of Russian assets not only private, but also state-owned by the EU as pure theft. Now Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov is making it very clear that Moscow will react symmetrically to the possible use of income from these frozen Russian assets.
Paraphrasing Lavrov: you confiscate, we confiscate. We all confiscate.
The repercussions will be cataclysmic for the Hegemon. No Global South nation, outside of NATOstan, will be "encouraged" to park its foreign currency/reserves in the West. That may lead, in a flash, to the whole Global South ditching the U.S.-led international financial system and joining a Russia-China-led alternative.
The peer-competitor Russia-China strategic partnership is already directly challenging the "rules-based international order" on all fronts improving their historical spheres of influence while actively developing vast, interconnected connectivity corridors bypassing said "order". That precludes, as much as possible, direct Hot War with the Hegemon.
Or to put it on Silk Road terms: while the dogs of war bark, lie and steal, the Russia-China caravan strolls on.

Quote:
The collective West, having wasted almost all of its weapons, starts to push the Kiev regime to engage in talks in 2024. Is that possible?
Answer:
What about the talks in 2024? It's all perfectly clear.
1. The special military operation will continue, with its aim still being the disarmament of the Ukrainian forces, and abandonment of neo-nazi ideology by the present-day state of Ukraine.
2. Displacement of the ruling bandera regime is, though not openly stated, the most important and inevitable goal which must, and will be achieved.
3. Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Kiev, as well as many others are Russian cities, temporarily occupied. All of them are still marked by the colours of yellow and blue on the maps and pads.
And so, yes. The "talks" are possible, of course. Russia never rejected them unlike the mad authorities of Ukraine. Such "talks" have no time limits. They can go on till full defeat and surrender of the North Atlantic Alliance's bandera forces.
And, by the way, I'd like to inform you that since January 1, 2023, the Armed Forces of Russian Federation have accepted half a million people as servicemen under contract.
So a large part of the stated justification for NATO supporting Ukraine is the supposed belief that "the West is next" - that Ukraine is merely the first domino to fall in a new Russian march to Berlin.

Brits agree as to who is 'winning' the artillery battle that matters;Quote:
The head of Russia's Rostec Corp. said its arms unit has boosted output of tanks and armored vehicles for the military as the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine approaches its third year.
Tank production increased seven-fold in two years, Rostec Chief Executive Officer Sergey Chemezov told President Vladimir Putin on Thursday in televised comments, without giving figures.
Output of armored vehicles grew more than five fold, and production of ammunition ranging from small arms to artillery shells grew as much as 50 times, said Chemezov, who's under US and European sanctions for his role in the war.
Russia plans a sharp increase in defense spending next year to 10.8 trillion rubles ($119.8 billion), up by almost 70% compared with this year. The nation's coffers have sufficient funds to meet all the needs of Russia's armed forces in the war, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Wednesday.
Quote:
Artillery barrage
A key ingredient to victory for either side will be building enough shells to break through the front lines, said Gen Barrons, a former Royal Artillery officer.
It is estimated that Russia fired between 10 and 12 million rounds in the first year of the war on occasion using an astonishing 60,000 shells a day.
While its stocks have depleted, one million shells from North Korea will help tide Moscow over until its manufacturing base ramps up production to two million a year by the end of 2024.
By contrast, the US should be able to produce about 600,000 155mm rounds next year and the EU might get to 300,000 with Britain's BAE Systems up to another 100,000.
But Russia, whose industry is on a war footing, will still be outproducing the West by two-to-one.
Without massed artillery fire, and lacking a sizeable air force, Ukraine is unlikely to succeed and could itself be subject to a Russian offensive opened with a huge bombardment.
The Israel-Gaza war has seen a further depletion of western stocks, with munitions sent to Israel that may otherwise have gone to Kyiv.
"Putin will be rubbing his hands with glee at the distraction of Gaza particularly with artillery ammunition that was going to go to Ukraine now being fired at Palestinians," said the veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
It was obvious from the beginning this would only end with a negotiated settlement that included Russia claiming a large swath of land. That settlement could’ve been agreed to years ago, before hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Everyone with a brain and a soul knew it.… https://t.co/r6TXXH1sGc

If you were really interested in the stalemate ending it seems like you would also be highlighting that there's only one person who could end this today.
