From Stucky:
*** This is the best damned report I have read to date. ***
Sure, he’s a Russian, and maybe it should be taken with a grain of salt. Seems credible to me, though. For sure it’s a helluva lot better that fatfuk Brett Baier and dumbshit Bill Hemmroid pointing at their retarded maps devoid of all meaning and context and all the while pretending they know the first thing about military affairs. “Look! Kyiv! Look at the pretty circle I drew around it!! Look at the pretty arrows I have pointing at Kyiv!! Those be Russians!!!! Look, I touch this little thingee and a new map pops up! Reeeee!!!!“. What a bunch of flaming retards.
Read this, and you’ll be the smartest person in any room …. especially a room full of stupid as whale shit retired Generals on teevee blowing smoke up your ass.
Also, in a separate article today, the Saker gives a damned good Big Picture Overview —- “The Russian military intervention in the Ukraine – a macro view”
================================= =
Note by the Saker:
One of our readers today sent me a very interesting document in Russian. First, I thought “more of the same” (5th columnist stuff) but then I started reading it and I changed my mind. This was clearly written by a military professional, his name is Alexander Dubrovsky. It was posted here and here. So I literally *begged* our new Russian translators to make even a “quick and dirty translation” because I wanted to get the info to you as fast as possible (in the meantime, I was writing this). And one of them did! (Thank you N.!!!).
While Dubrovsky’s views are not “Holy Writ” his testimony and analysis is, I think, priceless, especially for those who live in Zone A. We don’t have to agree with every letter, but I urge you to read it very carefully and in full. I consider this text so important that I will post it under “guest analyses” and not “Saker Community translations” because I want to give it max visibility. All our articles under “guest analyses” are written for the Saker blog or by permission, never taken off the Internet without the author’s permission. But, as the ancient Russian saying goes, “rules are for the cause and not the cause for the rules” 🙂
Kind regards

RUSSIAN SOLDIER SPEAKS
As promised, I am not inventing anything more about the special operation in Ukraine, giving the floor to professionals.
The source is unknown to me; it came via WhatsApp. It is published without notes and without editing, only some places highlighted by me.
Subjective opinion.
(Let’s try to make sense of the situation without hysteria and insults.)
It’s hard for everyone. Our guys are dying. Citizens of Ukraine are dying. But the hardest part is for the military, acting both in reserve, both Russian and Ukrainian, who have gone through “hot” conflicts. I’m grinding my teeth from impotence, I’m not personally sure — could I have carried out the Commander-in-Chief’s order had I been in the ranks today. To minimize civilian casualties is understandable, we are one people. And how to try not to cause critical damage to the APU — I have little idea within the tactics of my own unit.
I categorically object to the publication of the number of combat losses until the operation has entered its final phase. This is a gift for someone else’s information war, a trump card in the hands of the enemy, the dispersal of false information among outright alarmists inside the country: “they all lie, hide, underestimate”, “no war”, “mothers, don’t let your sons”, “how I want peace”, “how much more blood can be shed”…
You can and should. Soldiers and heroes are dying. Who came to the army not to polish paving stones with their shoe soles, but to defend the Motherland. Even at the cost of his own life. This was a mistake of the General Staff, the people should clearly understand the objectives of the operation, its necessity, the inevitability of victims. Not the current price.
It sounds cruel, but such is the harsh military reality. We will wipe our own and women’s tears after the Victory, we will bow to every widow, mother, bride, sister for the feat of their men.
The first stage of the operation…
We underestimated the enemy’s power of informational, ideological, psychological resistance, they were waiting for us. Literally on the very first day, with one click of American bloody fingers, they deprived us of the support of the civilian population and those AFU units ready to become neutral. Millions of dollars, thousands of IT guys, global media corporations cut Ukraine off from any objective information, it stank in our country.
And our main losses were in the first three days. Now they will be rapidly reduced. Peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, like the Crimean one— are no longer carried out by the Russian army. The fighters received other orders, got involved, got angry, regrouped, any hopes for active support from the civilian population and those parts of the AFU who had changed their mind were dispelled.
There were few flowers and bread loaves to be seen, the people have been crushed by propaganda and lies, intimidated into insanity by the Nazis. Another important point was missed in the calculations — almost 600 thousand Ukrainians have passed through the ATO zone in the Donbas since 2014, today they have replenished the territorial defense everywhere, many have something to fear. Especially in the wake of fakes about executions without trial by the ATO.
Can you imagine what, during a year of service there, the Nazis stuffed into their heads – gave them the opportunity to shoot at the settlements of “quilted jackets and colorados” with impunity, to mock the civilian population there. So, the calculation for the help of locals and APU was inaccurate, the cancer in Ukrainian society is simply monstrous. But… we will cure it.
If we explain our tactics of the first days… this is a creatively reworked “reconnaissance by combat” of the Great Patriotic War. Only with a deep and rapid penetration into the Nazi-occupied territory. We provoked the activity of the enemy with tactical groups, deliberately drawing out parts of the APU and the National Guard from their locations. With a small number withstanding the terrible counterattacks of tanks and armored vehicles, of a superior in number motorized infantry.
Sometimes it was impossible to suppress the “Grads”, artillery and mortars hidden in residential neighborhoods that were nailing you. Urban areas could not be cleaned methodically in combat formations, causing supporting fire, attack helicopters, sappers, flamethrowers, tanks to carry machine-gun emplacements in houses and social infrastructure facilities.
This is a war unfamiliar to us veterans. Especially when the sky is under your full control, airfields are packed with attack aircraft and bombers, operational and tactical missile systems are in service, there is a lot of heavy artillery. Now it has become clear even to civilians: the correct name for what is happening truly is “a special military operation for denazification.” And the demilitarization of Nezalezhnaya was completed by the end of the third day.
The APU, as a single, manageable and effective structure, has ceased to exist. Today, there are dozens of groups of different numbers isolated from each other, hiding in cities and towns. No centralized supply, no air support, no approach of reinforcements. They are not able to act within the framework of any plans of the Ukrainian General Staff. Just crowds of armed men with orders to stand to the death.
The main groups “North” and “East” were beheaded and deprived of command — these are 22 brigades, which had been entrusted with the honorable duty to drown Donbass in blood at the beginning of March. We beat them to it by a week or two, starting our own special operation. Now 150 thousand people (together with national soldiers) are marinated in “cauldrons”, cut off from each other. For a second — this was done by smaller Russian forces… and in five days.
There is no organized resistance in other operational areas. Separate parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), national battalions, sabotage groups. Everyone acts at their discretion, with varying degrees of activity. There is no way to move in columns, regroup, replenish ammunition, fuel, equipment even in local warehouses, everything is systematically destroyed by high-precision weapons and aircraft.
In a week or two, 80% of the AFU will turn into detachments completely devoid of ammunition, fuel, medicines, and food. Mentally and physically exhausted, without a unified command, goals and objectives. For the army, this is a terrible thing – despondency and decay. Especially for the Ukrainian, which is held by fear, propped up by Bandera detachments. Servicemen fear for the fate of their families in the rear.
The second stage of the operation…
Recognizably, the Syrian scenario. A neutral or terrorist-fearing population, among which it is almost impossible to identify militants. The Russian Army does not take such settlements – it surrounds cities with Bandera national battalions. Soon we will observe buses and “export tours” in the direction of the Western region. As soon as they are “ripe” without any support and help from outside.
In other places, cities are taken into semi-encirclement, thereby inviting the defenders to leave the territory on their own. No organized military columns, heavy equipment – all these goods are being destroyed. Individually, expensive. Yes, there is a danger of the appearance of a large number of sabotage groups, however, strategically three main tasks of the special operation are being solved: minimizing losses among the civilian population and infrastructure, our units and the army of Ukraine.
For the Russian and Ukrainian military to be cutting each other up with rapture is much too a luxurious gift for Washington and the Euro-Reich. The Bandera’s “partisan detachments” will get on your nerves, but the idea of the command is not bad. They will become legitimate prey for counter-terror detachments, military police and Ramzan Kadyrov’s men from the National Guard. Who do not take terrorist prisoners, they wipe them out… wherever they may find them. Denazification in the literal sense of the word.
An even sadder fate awaits the numerous mercenaries of the EuroReich, from which they form not military units (no time), but sabotage and tactical groups. Our General Staff has already stated that it does not consider them combatants with all the ensuing consequences, no conventions on prisoners of war apply here. I am sure that a special, cruel and purposeful hunt will be conducted for these “soldiers of fortune”. Poor devils…
The third stage of the operation.
I will not tell you in detail how and where the fighting unfolds, there is enough information from professional experts in the public domain. But everything is happening strictly according to plans, we have not even started transferring reserves, and they are standing in columns in the border areas. Losses are not just tolerable (from a military statistical point of view) — insignificant. Not a single unit has been allocated for re-formation or rest, which means it is fully combat-ready.
Look at the map, estimate the distances, marches, constant clashes, regrouping, maneuvering for tens of kilometers, and remember – our guys are opposed by the third largest army in Europe and extremely motivated Nazi formations. We need to tighten up the rear, rest elementary, maintain equipment, perform a bunch of previously unforeseen actions.
There is no need to pressure anyone, to demand more decisive actions – Flags of Victory over Mariupol, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkov, Odessa, and even more so, useless Kiev with its three million panicked, propaganda-pumped citizens. The objectives of the operation are strategy and tactics – in this completely new page in the art of war, haste is unacceptable.
My classmate at the Academy asked yesterday in a personal post:
Why is military aid to Ukraine not destroyed right at the arrival airport?
Why is it even possible for NATO transporters to visit the airspace of Ukraine?
Do you have a feeling that our diplomats are beginning to drain the efforts of the army? … All sorts of bad thoughts are wandering around in my head.
According to point number three. There will be no drain, all the goals of the special operation will be fulfilled. This is categorically repeated every day by the hardened Lavrov, and Putin announced yesterday. The French “peacemaker” Macron is all washed up with his mediation. And Medinsky in Belovezhskaya Pushcha is subtly mocking the metrosexuals from the Ukrainian delegation. There’s no one there to talk to.
Look at the brave Commander-in-Chief Ze, how he looks. Complete disintegration of the personality under the influence of drugs. The Americans will not allow him to negotiate and his own Nazis will kill him. The task is different – to completely destroy the country, drown it in chaos, so there will be nothing left over for anyone.
The special operation does not stop, there will be no more delays. Every day of delay categorically harms us, unplanned diplomatic, political, economic and military problems appear. Only speed and onslaught, until in the West they begin to assess the situation with a cool head.
About flying transporters with NATO symbols delivering weapons. This is impossible, the sky over the Nezalezhnaya and the south of Russia is closed for flights. They will make ground deliveries from Poland. And we will not destroy such convoys with “humanitarian aid”. Why, you ask? Better ask another question — who exactly is in power in Ukraine?
Outright Nazis. They took millions of civilians hostage in cities without humanitarian corridors, drove terrified people into basements and subway stations. Poisoning people with lies about “Russian atrocities”, mass shootings, executions, violence, carpet bombing. They place civilians with machine guns near strategic command and control facilities. As in Kiev at the SBU building, closely adjacent to the St Sofia Cathedral.
Zelensky’s curators and Bandera battalions are staging a humanitarian catastrophe, leaving the towns and villages of Donbass and blowing up everything: bridges, substations, pumping stations. Remember the liberation of Ukraine and 1945, the agony of the Third Reich. The quote of the demoniac, issued in the orders on the destruction of the entire infrastructure of Germany: “if the war is lost, it absolutely does not matter that the people will die.”
It is useful to know history in order to predict the behavior of the Nazis. Such is the ideology, social norms of life, worldview.
So, military columns will not be destroyed for three reasons. Firstly, these are trophies. Secondly, weapons will not get to the combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the national battalions of the South-East — the addressees are sitting in “cauldrons”. Thirdly, everything will be transported by ordinary civilian trucks, the rear transport of the AFU units is together with its parts, or destroyed in fleets.
Calculate and hit container trucks? Yes, you can. Just keep in mind — all the roads to the border checkpoints with “kind-hearted Europe” are clogged with columns of cars of fleeing Ukrainians for hundreds of kilometers. The traffic there is terrible. There are women and children in the cars. And Poland and Hungary did not move the inspection points into the depths of their territories, did not increase the checkpoint capacity with additional personnel.
That is, Ukrainian border guards with their “colleagues” keep people waiting for days to cross the border. Continue to describe the scenario that Kiev and Washington are counting on? Or can you figure out for yourself what kind of TV picture the whole “civilized world” expects? They dream that bloodthirsty Russians will start bombing civilian cars… or the railway.
But it is hard to believe in such scenarios, it is clear to everyone – Ukraine is completely lost, no amount of weapons will help it anymore. But some parts will definitely be delivered to Lvov, mercenaries and ideological Banderites will receive them. And then in groups proceed to commit sabotage, intimidate local administrations across the country, try to disrupt our communications and supply lines.
But this is another special operation, a police one. One that Ukrainians themselves are able to carry out with minimal Russian help, as they get over their shock. This is their land, they live here. Announce a reward of five thousand dollars for an anonymous denunciation — in a day all saboteurs and partisans will end. This is the kind of country it is.
But we’ll make it sooner…
I want to reassure you, for the twelfth day our guys are operating in a different operational and tactical reality, losses will rapidly decrease. If earlier there was a strict order not to cause even hypothetical harm to civilians, civilian objects… today it has been modified. In one sentence: “not to the detriment of the personnel of the units.” As a military man, I am completely satisfied: now the humanitarian sensitivities are over – real work will go on.
Fired at a column – in response will follow the entire military-technical menu. Such orders only work that way. Will the civilian population suffer? Yes, some losses are inevitable, but not through our fault. We do not storm cities according to Regulations, but bypass or surgically act with special forces, as in Kharkov. With the use of previously completely unknown tactics of urban combat by night maneuver groups. Let’s talk about this separately.
Let the Ukrainians pickle themselves in the cities, digesting the Banderites who have settled in and the “territorial battalions” fooled by Nazi propaganda. Who can no longer cope with looters there, never mind the “reflection of aggression”. This is not our problem now, no matter how cruel the words may sound.
The final turning point will come after the cleansing of Kharkov, blocking or taking Odessa. All the heroic self-defense forces of other settlements will dissolve by themselves, obvious signs of a humanitarian catastrophe are already visible in the surrounded cities. The fog, when it is completely fake, subsides most quickly in the dark, invigorating coolness and on an empty stomach.
The population is not morally ready to stand to the last. Ukrainian social networks are already full of messages from places where local administrations remained after the arrival of the Russian Army, food is being delivered smoothly, street lighting is on, local police control the streets. With each new day, the fake hysteria will subside, the thought will come to the drugged heads: what next?
Will the encircled Banderites begin to commit atrocities in their impotent anger? Well, Ukrainians should also carry this cross on their own. Of course, we will try to do everything to rescue children and the elderly. But Putin will not allow to bear sensitive losses, this is not that war.
It was not us who raised the fiend of hell, nurtured it, allowed it to seize power and hostages in the person of an entire nation. It was not us, who armed them and sent them to kill Donbass, taught them to hate Russians. Criminal indifference and complicity is also a punishable act. Not by us, by life itself.”
I agree that in some places it is very cynical, but this is only from the point of view of a civilian. Any military action –that is a different reality…

THE END
I’m listening to Dan Bongino right now. Even “conservative” radio can’t seem to say one simple truth…hypocrisy knows no bounds. He rails on about Russia attacking a country, he says…”yeah, they may have biological weapons of mass destruction, but it’s not like they used them.” I remember our own government saying over and over again…”we fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.”
Shit is fucked up and bullshit.
COVID, the vaccines or something has warped everyone’s minds. I can’t find a person I know, other than my son, who isn’t on the anti-Russian bandwagon about Ukraine. Liberals or conservatives makes no difference. Everyone thinks this is 100% Russia’s fault. You can’t have an intelligent, rational discussion with anyone because they are so sure they are right that the shout you down.
I though Trump Derangement Syndrome was bad, but it only effected 50% of the population. And then COVID/Vaccine Derangement Syndrome came along and it effected 2/3 to 3/4 percent of the population. But now the Russia/Ukraine Derangement Syndrome is here and it seems to have infected nearly 100% of the population.
Makes me want to become a hermit.
It seems no one is willing or able to go the last mile of truth.
Walking a mile, walking a mile, walking the last green mile
Staying at home is a blessing! Of interest, my doctor prescribed me a powerful steroid cream 2 days ago for a leg sore. Backordered from the manufacturer and not available. The great reset is well underway folks.
Pour some ‘Tussin on it.
Failing that, there’s always some Manuka Honey available on Amazon!!!
And if you can’t get that, I’ll send you some local honey from down here in the Heart of Texas. I have seen honey beat back gangrene. No joke.
Did you ask him to check in the back? Lol
Balbinus,
Red is right. I knew a guy (he was in his 80’s) who used Manuka Honey to successfully cure a staph infection on his leg at home. Here are other treatments that should still be available, maybe you already have available or can get quickly.
TEA TREE OIL
Tea tree oil comes has long been used in Australia by the aboriginals as a way to treat cuts and other skin infections. It comes from the melaleuca alternifolia tree. Tea tree oil helps to treat a broad range of infections as it works against many types of germs. It has been found to be very effective against staphylococcus bacteria.
Tea tree oil has an antimicrobial activity that is associated with a component called terpinene-4-ol. If you are suffering from a staph infection, tea tree oil can be very helpful. In order to use tea tree oil for an infection, the leaves can be crushed and then applied to the infections and cuts. Oil from the leaves can also be used topically as treatment. While tea tree oil is considered to be safe to use topically, there are some people who are allergic to it. For this reason, it is important to test a small area of the skin before using it.
EUCALYPTUS OIL
Once again when it comes to a healing oil we can think of the aborigines of Australia. It was this group of individuals who first discovered how powerful eucalyptus oil can be when it comes to healing. Lab studies have found that eucalyptus oil provides an antimicrobial effect on the staphylococcus bacteria. The antibacterial effect that eucalyptus oil provides is mainly because of a compound known as 1,8-cineole or the eucalyptol compound.
WARM COMPRESS
Typically, staphylococcus aureus will cause a boil that is filled with pus to appear on your skin. One of the ways to help drain this boil is to apply a warm compress onto the area of the skin that is infected. You will simply want to wet a washcloth with some warm water. Press the warm cloth to the boil and hold it there for at least twenty minutes and up to 30 minutes.
TURMERIC
Turmeric is a wonderful spice. It is most well known for being the spice that provides curry with a lovely gold color. In addition, turmeric has several antibacterial properties and is often used in Eastern medicine. Many Asian communities have used this spice for hundreds of years as a way to treat many types of ailments, including minor infections.
Some lab studies have found that curcumin, which is one of the compounds found in turmeric, can be quite effective against different types of staphylococcus bacteria. In order to use turmeric as a way to treat a staph infection, you will first want to grind up the turmeric until it is a very fine powder. Add a little bit of water at a time and mix until a fine paste is created. You can then apply this paste to any wounds or boils that you may have. It will help to heal the infection more quickly.
MANUKA HONEY
Honey has many potent antimicrobial properties. One type of honey, called manuka honey comes from bees that feed on the manuka bush. This type of honey is known for having several potent antibacterial properties. There are many factors at work that help the honey inhibit microbes and fight off infections. These include a high amount of sugar, low water content, phytochemicals, and hydrogen peroxide.
GARLIC
There are many reasons that you should add some garlic to your diet. This herb has many great health benefits. Garlic is not only the enemy of Dracula, but it is also the enemy of many common germs. During World War I, garlic was commonly used as a way to disinfect wounds. Garlic extract contains the compounds diallyl disulfide and diallyl sulfide.
WITHCH HAZEL
Another ancient remedy that has been used as a way to slow bleeding in wounds and to combat infection is witch hazel. The staphylococci bacteria use a system that is known as quorum sensing in order to communicate between cells. This allows the bacteria to regulate the expression of its genes based on the density of its population. When quorum sensing is not available the population cannot communicate as a group within the host body.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Raw, unfiltered ACV is one of the most nutritious foods available. Apple cider vinegar contains a potent prebiotic complex called, “the mother.” The mother also gives ACV potent antiseptic and antimicrobial properties making it the ideal topical agent to treat a Staph infection.
BAKING SODA
Surprisingly, one of the best home remedies for Staph infection is right in your kitchen pantry. Go and grab your tub of baking soda, and ad a teaspoon of the powder to a few drops of water to make a paste. Smear the paste all over the sore, and leave it to dry out for a few hours.
Rinse the baking soda off of your arm and dress with anti-bacterial ointment. Repeat this treatment two to three times a day, and you should notice the sores begin to dry up and disappear. Staph bacteria and all other strains of bacteria struggle to spread and grow in an alkaline environment. Baking soda has a high alkaline pH, which is one of the reasons why it’s in baking recipes.
Smearing the baking soda paste over the sore reduces the acidity of the skin, stopping the spread of the bacteria and the progression of the sore.
OREGANO OIL
Oregano is the favorite spice of pizza-lovers, and it’s a staple in Italian cooking. However, did you know that oregano has strong medicinal values as well? Oregano is one of the most studied herbs by the medical community, and research on oregano shows it has potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, eating oregano is not going to do your Staph infection any kind; you need to extract oil of the herb for best results.
You can buy oregano essential oil from your health retailer at a reasonable cost. Mix the oil into a carrier like extra-virgin olive oil, and apply it to the sores. Let the oil soak into the lesion, and repeat the treatment two or three times a day for best results.
Oregano essential oil contains high quantities of the polyphenol “carvacrol,” the active ingredient in the herb that gives it its medicinal benefits. The anti-bacterial nature of the essential oil makes it an ideal home remedy for treating Staph sores
EXTRA -VIRGIN COCONUT OIL
Try rubbing coconut oil into the Staph lesions to rehydrate the damaged skin. Extra-virgin coconut oil undergoes no processing that removes the beneficial polyphenol micronutrients from the oil. Studies show that unrefined coconut oil has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Therefore, it makes an excellent topical application to control Staph infection. The oil provides a hostile environment for the spread of the bacteria, curbing its colonization of the skin while assisting the immune system in its fight against the infection.
Extra-virgin coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, but it melts quickly between your fingers. Wash your hands and apply the oil to the lesion. Rub it into the skin to allow it to penetrate the deep layers. Leave the oil on your skin and let it absorb naturally. Repeat the treatment three to four times a day, and you should notice a reduction in the size and severity of Staph lesions.
Fermented Foods
Staph is a bacterial infection. Fortunately, you can use your body’s bacteria to fight off the invading Staph infection. Our digestive system is home to trillions of live bacteria. These biomes assist digestion, assimilating the nutrition from our food. Recent research into the effects of the gut biome and our levels of health show a direct connection between the two.
The digestive system is home to more than 70-percent of the immune system. By boosting biome health, you help the immune system operate at its peak. With a robust immune system, your body will resist the spread of the Staph bacteria, and start winning the war against the infection.
The best way to improve your gut health is by eating fermented foods. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and Greek yogurt are all excellent sources of probiotic enzymes and bacteria that elevate levels of good bacteria in the gut, increasing the efficiency of your immune system
COLLOIDAL SILVER
One of the more controversial methods of curing Staph infection lies in the use of “colloidal silver.” This liquid contains silver ions that supposedly have a positive effect on strengthening the immune system. Taking colloidal silver every day is as effective as using an antiviral medication in some studies.
However, most of the research available on colloidal silver is anecdotal at best, and there is yet to be any officially recognized papers published in medical journals. This lack of official accreditation does not stop millions of people around the world from using colloidal silver every day.
People with Staph infection need to do all they can to boost their immune system. A healthy immune system will be able to kill off the invading bacteria without the use of antibiotic drugs. Colloidal silver has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and it’s useful in treating patients with a staph infection. Buy colloidal silver in pre-dosed capsules to avoid colloidal silver poisoning that turns your skin a grey color.

Sad but true. Well maybe 95%.Which leaves me optimistic. Only 3% fought the Independence war for the US. There is still like a 2% margin.
The RDS, TDS, CDS are so fucking strong in my house it is literally a herculean effort to keep my temper under control because the mrs is dumber than a box of liberals. She will not even entertain the idea of listening to me about what is going on over there……..”you gotta stop believing everything you read on the internet”! God help me.
I work in PDX. I hermit in the high desert. We have plenty of room for like-minded individuals out this way.
What is PDX?
Tom, I’ve been checking out the high desert outside of liberal Deschutes County. Spending a week out there in May. A second home or maybe a first home may be in the offing.
And Glock, you obviously don’t fly much. PDX is the symbol for Portland’s airport. Natives use it as shorthand for Portland. For instance: Trapped in PDX.
High desert is nice around Pine Mtn/Millican but watch out for the methies around Bend/Burns, especially E Hwy 20, lotsa bikers and yahoos out there (an lots of places to bury the bodies)
Burns is full of tough people. If you are a snotflake don’t show up.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
That scripture is being fulfilled right now, imho. Covid really got the ball rolling, but as you noted, now it’s the Russian Evil and they didn’t even break a sweat.
You may be right, but I never quite understood this. Why would God need to send them a powerful delusion if they already had no love of truth? It seems like they would be pre-inclined to delude themselves one way or the other, no? It also removes free will from the equation — but we are told that God grants us free will, otherwise we cannot choose freely to love Him or It.
Same with “God hardened Pharoah’s heart” — another instance of removing someone’s free will; that seems devious/malicious to me, not something I would ascribe to a loving God This is a key piece of evidence to doubt the veracity of the “Exodus” story… another being that “Moses” was recycled from an earlier (Sumerian?) story.
escaped pdx several years ago have friends still there that simply refuse to consider alternatives, they remind me of babies picking up a shiny thing from the floor, mouthing it around then dropping it for the next shiny thing, the scary part is they now think I am one of the enemy and they say jokingly “you haven’t become a prepper have you like all the other crazies” and I am afraid they may show up at my doorstep when the SHTF wanting my help because I wasn’t prescient enough to discard the friendship at the getgo. These are the kind of neighbors that would turn you in to the Staasi. All I can do now is fail to respond and hope they get the message.
No worka, no eata. Offer them a bed made of hay in the shed. See how long they stick around. Tough luv baby.
Glad to see you on TBP — I’ve seen your comments at ZH for years… I think you’ve been traveling around the country in an RV for awhile now.
Yeah…………..he is just another shill with NO courage !

Like the number of mRNA vaccinated, do not believe the numbers.
Also do not believe people who say that they are unvaccinated, the experimental vaccines are turning into a Scarlet Letter of sorts especially where Graphene Oxide is turning up in the children of exp-vaccinated parents. Trust but verify, like a STD screening.

I just ate, and feel like hurling based on this snippet from the replies to that tweet
Just to reiterate what GNL and TrappedinPortlandia commented above.
I spoke with a Russian friend of mine yesterday, who is currently living in Copenhagen where we formerly worked together. All the people in Russia and Ukraine he knows are doing fine. They expect some economic fallout, but they are tough people. We already have some economic fallout here and will have more. We will see how tough we are as the globalists play their games.
Thanks for posting this from thesaker Stucky.
I found it so well written that it felt a tad more refined than the ordinary soldiers prose. Regardless, it critically touched on what appears to be highly likely, on the ground info. I believed it, anyway.
My gal said she heard or read somewhere lately that the Donnbass has shale. If so, that certainly puts another layer of icing atop Putin’s endeavors here.
Hopefully the West runs out of smoke soon.
I’d hate for my measly 3 shares of Gazprom inviting a knock on my door.
Hearing from Bulgarian friends that don’t like Russians, that the ‘news’ about whats happening is pure 100% BS coming out of the cia cesspools.
This letter is likely far closer to the truth than ANYTHING coming out of the wests media and intel. Which isn’t hard to do considering the loudest voices are all the lying voices…
Thank you, Stuckenheimer. I read that while having lunch, thanking God I’m not anywhere near any of this shit now. When we were in OKC last weekend, my son asked me if I wanted to go on Tinker AFB for a nostalgia drive.
For the first time ever, except for the time the asshole wouldn’t let me on the base to get my new ID because my old ID had expired in a world gone crazy almost two years ago, I declined the opportunity to go see the Big BX beside one of the nicest golf courses in the USAF.
Those skies aren’t friendly to me now.
This seems genuine and newsworthy.
Which means it will get censored.
Thank God for TBP… for those of you reading this missive from the front lines and you’ve not sent Admin twenty bucks for his efforts, do so now.
This is a viewpoint worth reading.
Thanks for this, Stuck. You have a foul mouth, but this is good.
That was a wonderful comparative sentence, another Doug.
Foul mouth, but good. That’s our Stuckenheimer.
I agree with Doug and Ghost, Stuck. (all except for the ‘mouth’ part).
Your post helped make more sense the conflict instead of the endless cesspool that spews from the purveyors of fake news.
Not bad for a Teuton.
Sorry, Stucky, but I think you’ve got a bad case of ‘Retarded Map Envy’. Not all of us are able to make circles and arrows, and unless you’re black or Latino, you aren’t entitled to make circles and arrows.
There’s nothing out there right now but propaganda from both sides. I don’t think anyone knows what is happening but the troops and civvies on the front line. Everything else is just ‘what I want you to believe’ and ‘Putin Bad’.
I read through the article and it’s no better than anything else, with a lot more wishful thinking.
The Irishman has a post showing a dude walking around Keiv, taking videos, riding trains, etc. and says there is really no sign of actual war that he has seen. Claims most locations are run like a movie set.
It is to the point that I do not know what to believe about the happenings over there and since my son never got a job at a Ukrainian gas company, I really do not give a rat’s a**.
Well a million Ukrainian smart phone cannot be wrong, unless their uploads are censored.
The first Causality of a War is….
Awesome Stuckman. Article is a gem. You always get the real information from the troops on the ground. Yes. I am believing that the Ukraine was a Nazilike cesspool. Here is a link to a Lew Rockwell post that things aren’t what they seem in the Ukraine.
Very good Rockwell piece.
From the Rockwell piece:
Dissolve and coagulate. Or, rather, coagulation out of dissolution; also known as order out of chaos.
It’s just another way to control the masses, no matter what you call it.
Does it read like a letter from the war?
Nothing specific ( time, location, persons, operations carried out, numbers as observed by the author).
Could be written prior, during or regardless of the events occurred.
I am sceptical of Zelensky, Putin, though Putin is obviously smarter.
So I stand by me regarding this so called report.
Speculations.
Assessment of facts not mentioned.
I am from Lithuania. I know Russians. Lithuanian government is waging an outright propaganda war against Russia. Shedding crocodile tears for the Ukrainian blood spilled, tacitly praising Russians for their invasion as an absolution from eventual covid crimes trials.
This letter by an ostensible warrior reads the same way.
BS.
Better read armstrongeconomics.com.
White Russians (Lithuanians) have a thing against old Russia but having been raised with the Leveris family I understand the Russian language by ear and wrote. I think you should ask Nuland and the USA State department about Truth because everything I see is Not a million Smart phones recording facts as they happen
Pretty interesting, Stuck.
Another quote for the ages, right here:
As I reflect on this soldier’s letter I think that things might not be so different in North America. A brain washed public. A small but radical minority of fascists running around intimidating the public. Fake elected officials. And a deep state to rule them all.
I guess we really are ‘all Ukrainian’. Now where’s my yellow and blue flag?
FM has made one heck of an observation right there
Too bad it’s at the bottom of the thread. You can use it in your next article though. No charge.
The ends of the threads are where the magic happens, compadre!
Articles? We don’t need no stinkin’ articles!
KUDOS to THE BURNING PLATFORM for posting on the ground intel like this !
Cognitive Warfare
Of course the pdf itself is part of it. You don’t actually have to have a kinetic war.

Cognitive Warfare explains a lot.
Of course this report is part of the whatever..

The Human Domain. Fake news, movie video, etc.
This part is interesting. I read the references. I couldn’t decipher what it meant exactly. I think maybe noncompliance. Pg. 29.
‘…the history of mankind53, where individuals or small groups may jeopardise the success of military operations…’
Listened to two jerks talking about the BAD ROOSKIES. Said I had no favorite, but at least they were killing off the Azov Battalions. “Huh? Who are they? ”
“Ukranian Neo-Nazis.”
“You’re full of sh*t.”
“Do a quick search. But use DuckDuckGo, not G**gle.”
Better use Brave, bot Duckduckgo.
Stuckenmeister Update:
Much has happened since I posted this yesterday. Today, in interest of Fair&Balanced News I bring you the facts, so called, as they were told yesterday evening and this morning on the cable teevee. I am paraphrasing and summarizing, although the sentiment is fully captured, and even the wording.

FUX NEWS:
Putin the Thug is becoming increasingly isolated even within Russia. He is quickly becoming unhinged as he realizes his time as dictator is short lived. There have been demonstrations against him in over 400 Russian cities, and many thousands of arrests. Even the oligarchs are against him. Putin will either kill himself or be assassinated … and Fox News encourages both. Life in Russia is becoming intolerable; the Rooooble is under one penny, there are long lines at the ATMs, banks are running out of cash, standard of living is at poverty level for the majority, it is now impossible to get either a Big Mac or Coke anywhere in the country, and massive inflation and even starvation looms in the future. The war itself is a complete disaster for Putin. Far from being a superpower, the fierce and brave resistance of average every-day Ukrainian heroes has proven the Russian army is inept. Generals are dying, tanks are being blown up, the conscripts hate being there and some are already going AWOL, and vaunted Russian fighter jets are being blown out of the sky by hand held rocket launchers. The 40 mile long convoy which ran out of gas is on the move again, but most of those vehicles will be blown up before they reach the center of Kiev. Even though they are gaining territory, and even though Kiev will soon be surrounded, Russia is actually losing this war. As things get more and more desperate for the Russians we in the West should expect Russia to use chemical or biological weapons. At that point it probably becomes imperative that the USA!USA!USA! send ground troops to Ukraine and teach those goddamned Russian a lesson. We have the most powerful miltary in the world, and with the help of 27 additional MiG fighters, we’ll kick Russian ass in just no time at all.
Stuchenmeister Note: NONE of this is an exaggeration. ALL of it was said by some dumbfuk anchor or guest yesterday. I listen to Fux so you don’t have too!

CuNNt / MostlyShit-NBC / and every other fucken libtard station
1. See Fux News … as ALL America is singing from the same song sheet!!
2. However, those fuktard face some additional unique problems. They hate America’s borders but love Ukraine’s borders. They didn’t give a shit about the massive civilian deaths in just the first few days of America’s Shock And Awe in Iraq, but their dicks get bent out of shape at one injured Ukie prego woman. They love OUR commies and socialists, but hate the Russian ones, but love the Ukie ones. They hate American patriotism, but love the Ukie Nazi ones. This is somewhat interfering with their ability to lie about everything. They hope their 487 listeners will be patient with them.
Yes, how anyone in Weimar Amerika can fail to grasp the gubmint media lies is beyond me, because the shit is just so over the top it begs to be mocked as you so aptly have done.
