SECO D: Snopes' take-down was "Putin didn't say the word 'Alaska'."

Wow, you really misrepresent, don't you?

What Snopes said:


Quote:

CLAIM: In January 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the 1867 sale of Alaska to the United States was "illegal."

RATING:False

About this rating

In 1867, the United States bought Alaska from the Russian Empire, significantly expanding its territory. Fast forward to January 2024: Amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and U.S. support for Ukraine, a rumor surfaced online. It claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the 1867 sale of Alaska "illegal." For instance, one Reddit post on the topic read, "Putin stokes tensions with US, declares 1867 sale of Alaska 'illegal.'"

Moreover, social media users shared an alleged document signed by Putin, claiming that the sale of Alaska was not legitimate. < "Putin signed an order insinuating the sale of Alaska to the United States in 1867 was illegitimate. This mofo is trolling the West and our leaders shake in their boots in response," a post on X with the alleged official document read.



Huh. Sounds like the crap YOU post!

Quote:

We found that the rumor was also spread on TikTok. Our research indicated that the rumor originated from an article published on Jan. 21, 2024, by essanews.com website with the title, "Putin stokes tensions with US, declares 1867 sale of Alaska 'illegal.'" It read:

Interestingly, Vladimir Putin appears to have rethought the sale of Alaska to the Americans. It's not a joke: he's trying to give the impression that his influence extends not only to his country's future events but also plans to rewrite the past. Therefore, he signed a decree rendering the sale of Alaska illegal.

It is true that on Jan. 18, 2024, Putin signed a decree pertaining to the management of Russian Federation property abroad. A copy of it was shared on an official website of the Russian government, labeled as follows (we translated it using Google Translate):

Order of the President of the Russian Federation dated January 18, 2024 No. 21-rp

(On determining the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Enterprise for Property Management Abroad" of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation as the recipient of a subsidy for financial support of costs)


We used Google Translate to ascertain what the decree itself stated, in English:

(Google Translate)

The document did not, according to this translation, mention Alaska at any point, or state that Alaska or any other territory formerly owned by Russia was sold "illegally."

On Jan. 19, 2024, the Russian state-owned news agency TASS published a report on the decree, titled, "Russia to allocate funds for search of Soviet, Imperial Russian property abroad." It informed that Russia would allocate funds for an effort to "find, register and ensure legal protection of Russia’s property abroad, including property of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire." The article continued (emphasis ours):

A relevant decree, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, will allocate funds for the purpose to the Department of Foreign Property of the Administrative Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation.

The funds will be allocated to cover expenses related to "the process of searching the real estate property owned by the Russian Federation, the former Russian Empire, the former USSR," as well as for "due registration of [property] rights" and "legal protection of this property."

Another decree allocates funds to cover the department’s expenses for maintaining and using Russia’s federal property abroad.

Again, the TASS article did not mention any reference to Alaska in the decree.

In sum, given that the decree signed by Putin did not declare that the 1867 sale of Alaska was "illegal" — or indeed mention Alaska at all — we have rated this claim as False.



IMHO this is to protect Soviet or Rusdian properties from being illegally seized by western states.

Oh BTW, the cheese eating surrender monkeys in Europe demilitarized themselves by giving their weapons to Ukraine and de-industrializing themselves.

CALL OF DUTY Ordinary Brits face call-up if UK goes to war with Russia because military is too small, Army chief says amid WW3 threat

"Better Red Than Dead" is the self-preservation motto of most EU citizens. They are perfectly ready to surrender rather than increase spending on defense to 2% of GDP. What about joining the Army? Unthinkable!

Published on 30/11/2023
EU countries as a whole devoted 1.5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) to the defence sector - far below the 2% target set by NATO, which includes 22 EU members.
https://www.euronews.com/2023/11/30/record-increase-in-eu-military-spe
nding-amid-demanding-times


The Russian government has announced its proposed budget for 2024. For the first time in modern history, the country is set to spend 6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on the military, and defense spending will exceed social spending. The war against Ukraine and the West is not only the Kremlin’s biggest priority; it is now also the main driver of Russia’s economic growth.

Russia plans to increase its military spending by 67% in 2024 - representing around 30% of its GDP.

https://www.euronews.com/2023/11/30/record-increase-in-eu-military-spe

Russian lawmakers backed a record increase in military spending to fund Moscow's offensive on Ukraine, in a first reading of the bill Thursday.

Defence spending will account for almost a third of all outlays in 2024 -- up 68 per cent to 10.8 trillion rubles (€109 billion).

It is the Russians falsely saying this is proxy war. It is the Russians falsely saying that the West worships Satan. It is the Russians falsely denying they killing tens of millions of Russians. It is the Russians denying they killed 4 million Ukrainians. 6ixStringJack, you and every other dimwit Trumptard I know get things backwards. Since you are people who cannot reliably tell the differences in real life, it is unsurprising you blunder into trouble. See the thousands of legal cases against Trump that he lost for how that works. Or see Russia's history of disasters that easily could have been avoided by people who weren't thickheaded and quickly turn to violence.

Here is an example from today that strongly suggests somebody is out their mind:

Updated 12:27 p.m. ET, January 24, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-military-plane-belgorod-uk
raine-updates-intl/index.html


A Russian military plane with 74 people on board has crashed in the Belgorod region of Russia, near the Ukrainian border, Russian state media reported. The region's governor said all those on board were killed.

The cause of the crash is not yet clear and there are conflicting accounts about who or what was on board. Russian state media reported that 65 Ukrainian servicemen were on the plane, being flown to Belgorod ahead of a prisoner swap.

But Ukraine's military said the plane was carrying air defense missiles. CNN has not verified either side's claims, and has asked Ukraine for comment on allegations it shot down the plane.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Ukraine of targeting the plane that went down in the Belgorod region with a missile while addressing reporters at the United Nations on Wednesday.

"The Ukrainian side launched an air defense missile from the Kharkiv region," Lavrov stated, adding that the "fatal strike" targeted the plane."

CNN is not able to independently verify Russia’s claims.

Lavrov said he has also requested an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting at 3 p.m. ET today following the downing of the plane.

The IL-76 Shootdown By A US Patriot Missile Could Lead To Zaluzhny's Replacement With Budanov
Andrew Korybko
Jan 24, 2024

All things considered, blaming Zaluzhny – perhaps by claiming that he should have verified alleged intelligence about the IL-76’s cargo before shooting it down in order to make this seem like an unfortunate accident – is the most politically convenient option at Zelensky and his US patron’s disposal. It could shift the blame from them to him and facilitate Zaluzhny’s replacement with the much more politically reliable Budanov without much resistance from the armed forces or civil society.

Kiev shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs as it was flying over the border region of Belgorod on Wednesday. Patriot missiles were reportedly used during the attack, which was carried out with the aid of American instructors. The regime was informed of the flight ahead of time and was aware that it was carrying its detained troops. The planned swap has now been called off and questions are swirling about why Kiev would kill its own POWs.

CNN ridiculously suggested that it might have been a case of friendly fire by drawing attention to a prior air alert and drone interception an hour before the incident, while some Ukrainian sources circulated the conspiracy theory that the plane was allegedly carrying only S-300 air defense missiles onboard. The first narrative is meant to smear the reputation of the Russian Armed Forces while the second is a “face-saving” deflection from Kiev’s culpability for what happened.

It would be typical if Putin destroyed a plane today to send a message to Ukraine. Maybe the message is that when Russia transports ammo by plane, there will also be Ukrainian POWs onboard. Putin has plenty of planes and prisoners. Why not lose a plane and see what kind of Russian accusations the world will believe? What is one more lie from Putin? See Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 or Putin blowing up an airplane to assassinate Yevgeny Prigozhin.

MH17 was NOT shot down by Russians

No Russian gave the order or fired the missile.

The closest that the court could place Russia to the shoot down was providing air defense missiles, which, in a breathtaking example of lawfare, is equivalent to "murder".

That makes as much sense as charging a car dealership with murder bc someone used their car to run down a bunch of people.

You REALLY can't stop lying, can you??
And you can't stop accusing people of things they haven't done either.

Russia convicts Putin-critic MH17 killer for ‘inciting extremism’

Extreme nationalist Igor Girkin gets four-year prison term.

By Sergey Goryashko | January 25, 2024 12:17 pm CET

The MH17 killer has been sentenced, but not in the Netherlands, not for life, and not for the murder of 298 people.

Igor Girkin, a pro-war Russian nationalist, was instead found to be complaining too much on social media about President Vladimir Putin’s leadership of the war against Ukraine.

A court in Moscow on Thursday found Girkin guilty on charges of inciting extremism after his series of diatribes against the Russian leader . . .

No end in sight

Defiant Russian rhetoric left little hope of negotiations any time soon.

“The existence of Ukraine is mortally dangerous for Ukrainians,” wrote Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s powerful Security Council, on the Telegram messaging app.

“The presence of an independent state on historical Russian territories will now be a constant reason for the resumption of hostilities,” he said, elucidating an irredentist** policy towards all of Ukraine.

“There is a 100 percent probability of a new conflict,” Medvedev said, even if Ukraine entered the EU and NATO. “This could happen in ten or fifty years.”

Some in Europe took Russia at its word.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/24/drones-strike-deep-in-russia-
as-medvedev-threatens-ukraines-existence


** A irredentist is a person advocating the restoration to their country of any territory formerly belonging to it. What is the difference between a Revanchist and an irredentist?

Irredentism is closely related to revanchism and secession. Revanchism is an attempt to annex territory belonging to another state. It is motivated by the goal of taking revenge for a previous grievance, in contrast to the goal of irredentism of building an ethnically unified nation-state.

What is Gov. Gregg Abbott, the whiny cripple in a wheelchair, barking about? I quote him: "The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV. § 4"

What does that part of Constitution say? This:

If the Constitution is important to Gov Abbott, he cannot wait until Trump is President in January 20, 2025. If Gov Gregg Abbott was not a pantywaist, he'd today order the Texas Rangers to kill any children they see illegally crossing the border. The adults would get the message and go back their original countries, wherever that is. But Abbott won't because he is a coward afraid of a grand jury charging him with murder for hire. If murder is Abbott's problem, maybe he could wound them with a mere flesh wound, or throw dirt in their little faces, or yell at them to stay off his lawn.

Russia convicts Putin-critic MH17 killer for ‘inciting extremism’

The three convicted men all played key roles in and transporting the Buk system and its crew into Ukraine, the court ruled, though it found there was insufficient evidence to determine who fired the missile.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/europe/mh17-trial-verdict-intl/index.ht
ml


The article is warped bc it gives the impression that Girkin was with the Buk, but phone call intercepts show he was elsewhere. Even the fact that there are phone call intercepts between the Buk crew and Girkin prove that he wasn't there ... why would they be calling him if they could talk to him right there?

Quote:

`Ukraine's security agency [I woonder if they lied back then as much as they do now??] has claimed that they have intercepted phone calls between Russian military officers and pro-Russian separatists with the rebels claiming responsibility for shooting down a Malaysian plane killing all 298 people on board, a media report said on Friday.

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 flight MH17 was blown up over Eastern Ukraine by a sophisticated BAK surface-to-air missile believed to be fired by pro-Russia rebels.

One of the calls apparently was made at 4.40 pm Kiev time, or 20 minutes after the plane crash, by a separatist identified as Igor Bezler, to a separatist commander and Russian intelligence officer Vasili Geranin, the Kyiv Post reported.

In the transcript released by Ukraine's security agency SBU, Bezler says: “We have just shot down a plane. It fell down beyond Yenakievo (Donetsk Oblast)."

"The plane fell apart in the air. In the area of Petropavlovskaya mine. The first 200. We have found the first 200 - a civilian," Major says, referring to the codeword for a dead person, it said.

The second intercepted signal was apparently between militants codenamed "Major" and "Greek" immediately upon inspection of the crash site.

"It's 100 per cent a passenger (civilian) aircraft," Major is recorded as saying, as he admitted to seeing no weapons on site. "Absolutely nothing. Civilian items, medicinal stuff, towels, toilet paper," according to the transcript.

The paper also posted part of a third conversation between "Cossack commander Nikolay Kozitsin" and an unidentified militant.

"They say on TV it's AN-26 transport plane, but they say it's written Malaysia Airlines on the plane. What was it doing on Ukraine's territory?"

Kozitsin replies: "That means they were carrying spies. They shouldn't be f***ing flying. There is a war going on."

Military analysts have speculated that militants mistook the passenger jet for a military aircraft.

The people convicted were guilty of making the Buk available to separatists. But because they couldn't identify the ACTUAL CREW, well, they had to find SOMEONE guilty didn't they?

The District Court of The Hague on 17 November 2022 sentenced the accused Kharchenko, Dubinskiy and Girkin to life imprisonment for causing Flight MH17 to crash and for the murder of the 298 persons on board. Defendant Pulatov has been acquitted.

JIT MH17: strong indications that Russian president decided on supplying Buk
News item | 08-02-2023 | 13:00
There are strong indications that the Russian president decided on supplying the Buk TELAR to the DPR separatists. This is the conclusion of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in its investigation into those responsible in the Russian Federation for the downing of flight MH17 with a Buk missile. The JIT has shared its findings with the next of kin of the 298 victims and published a report. Although a lot of new information has been discovered about various people involved, the evidence is at the moment not concrete enough to lead to new prosecutions.

NATO Ally Proposes Taurus Missile Solution for Ukraine

By Ellie Cook | Jan 25, 2024 at 9:28 AM EST

https://www.newsweek.com/nato-taurus-missile-ukraine-germany-1863917

The British government has offered to replenish Ukraine's long-range Storm Shadow missile stocks if its own cache is replaced with German Taurus missiles, according to a new report, in a move likely intended to break months of deadlock on sending the latter to Ukraine.

London extended the offer several weeks ago, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Wednesday. A British defense ministry spokesperson said the U.K. "and our partners, including Germany, continue to work together to equip Ukraine as best we can to defend its sovereign territory – delivering significant quantities of military aid via the International Donors Coordination Cell in Stuttgart."

The Kremlin is reportedly no longer offering pardons to convict recruits and is significantly changing the terms of their service, likely in response to the reduction of the pool of convicts suitable for recruitment into Russian force generation efforts. The BBC reported that Russian officials likely ended recruitment into “Storm-Z” units in August 2023 and began recruiting convicts into “Storm-V” units based on new contract terms in September 2023.[33] Russian officials previously recruited convicts through promises of pardons and six-month contracts, and “Storm-V” units reportedly provide no promise of pardon or even parole and extend convicts’ contracts indefinitely until the end of the war.[34] Russian officials likely extended the contracts on the basis of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s partial mobilization order as the Russian military does for mobilized personnel. The BBC reported that Russian military registration and enlistment offices formally release convict recruits in a procedure that is no longer legally equivalent to “parole/conditional release,” suggesting that convict recruits are legally still considered prisoners.[35] Russia has heavily relied on convict recruits to maintain a level of force generation that is roughly equivalent to Russian losses in Ukraine, and which is likely helping enable Russian forces to conduct regular operational-level rotations.[36] Russian officials reported that as of October 2023 the Russian prison population was 266,000 people — a notable reduction of 54,000 prisoners from January 2023.[37] The loss of convict recruits to attritional assaults in Ukraine and the relatively short terms of their service contracts may have prompted the Kremlin to enact more restrictive terms of service in order to retain more convict recruits at the front in Ukraine. The contract terms for service in new “Storm-V” units are far less attractive and may dampen efforts to recruit convicts, although Russian officials have routinely used coercive measures to force convicts to sign contracts.[38]

Russian officials may have also changed the status of convict recruits in order to relieve force generation burdens on the Russian federal budget. Russian opposition outlet Vazhnye Istorii reported on January 25 that Storm-Z personnel addressed a letter to Putin asking him to resolve a widespread lack of promised payments, payments for injuries, and documents on the expungement of criminal records for Storm-Z personnel.[39] Vazhnye Istorii reported that a response from a Russian military prosecutor’s office to a Storm-Z fighter stated that Putin’s recent decree promising single payments in cases of injury or death do not apply to Storm-Z fighters.[40]

How much are Russian soldiers being paid to fight?

By Simon Newton | 25th January 2024 at 1:13pm

https://www.forces.net/russia/what-are-russian-soldiers-being-paid-fig
ht-putins-war


All men aged between 18 and 30 have to serve a year in the Russian forces – officially at least those conscripts cannot be sent to Ukraine.

A growing number of the troops in Ukraine are contracted.

The starting wage for them is around three-and-a-half times the national average, according to official Russian government figures. The average monthly wage earned by Russians is 71,419 roubles a month ($756 or £639).

It is estimated this is more than a dozen times the average in many of the country's poorer and remote regions, which is where a lot of Vladimir Putin's troops are being recruited.

Putin also gave contracted troops a one-off payment of 195,000 roubles ($2,178 or £1,710).

This came with a price when, a few months later, the Kremlin banned volunteer soldiers from ending their contracts.

It is thought Wagner troops were being offered around 240,000 rubles a month ($2,690; £2,108).

Their relatives also got $60,000 if they were killed and they were given that money in cash to avoid paying tax.

Some former prisoners have said they were offered 205,000 rubles a month ($2,298 or £1,805) to sign up, plus 3m rubles ($33,664 or £26,453) for an injury or 5m rubles ($55,844 £43, 920) if they are killed.

You have never understood that Russia's problems are caused by Russians. Obviously, there will be external problems, but the Russian response to such problems has been, shall we say, suboptimal which is why Russia is poor compared to the EU. It is also why North Korea, Russia's protege, is poor compared to South Korea, America's protege. A quick check of recent news shows that South Korea is being militarily threatened by North Korea which follows Russia's habitual ways of confronting its problems by threatening the neighbors.

This is close to admitting that your mental problems nearly overwhelm you. Don't feel alone. The Trumptards I know are filled with sweaty anxieties that alcohol, porn, tobacco and Trump can ease. Same with Russians. They need alcohol and Putin to make the world feel safe for them, again.
Make Russia Great Again is the same as Make America Great Again.

Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated boilerplate Kremlin narratives that blame Ukraine for the war. Putin claimed on January 26 during a meeting with students at the St. Petersburg State Maritime Technical University that

a) Ukraine “refused” to implement the Minsk Agreements,

b) Ukraine committed “genocide” against Russians in “[Russia’s] historical territories” in Ukraine,

c) and the West “deceived” Russia multiple times by expanding NATO

– all of which he claimed forced Russia to invade Ukraine in 2022.[17]

Putin’s comments continue to indicate that the Kremlin is framing

1) NATO expansion and

2) Ukraine‘s existence as an independent, sovereign state

– as existential threats to Russia that Russia must eliminate with force.

Putin further falsely claimed that Russia’s full-scale invasion was a “response to [Ukraine’s] use of armed force” after Ukraine “started the war in Donbas in 2014” and that Russia had to “protect [its] interests.”

Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tanks transform into massive shotguns with new ammunition

e-shotguns-with-new-ammunition,6988971276297857a


Ukrainians have received the distinctive M1040 canister ammunition designed to battle soft targets such as infantry soldiers. These ammunitions create a literal hail of deadly tungsten fragments that can be lethal over several kilometers.

The entire M1040 unified cartridge weighs approximately 44 - 50 lbs and contains a payload of 2000 tungsten balls. These are stored in a polymer or aluminum sabot, disintegrating upon exiting the barrel and dispersing them sideways. This results in a formidable torrent of fragments with a range of up to 550 yards, essentially "sweeping" everything in its path.

In effect, these tanks mimic the behavior of a traditional smoothbore shotgun loaded with buckshot ammunition, albeit on a significantly larger scale. Given the distances over which battles may take place in Ukraine, an effective range of less than 550 yards is deemed sufficient. A single tank, therefore, can effectively clear a line of trenches.

Nepal wants its men back from Russia's war in Ukraine after deaths on the front

By Shalu Yadav, Rajneesh Bhandari | January 27, 2024, 5:00 AM ET

https://www.npr.org/2024/01/27/1226170192/russia-ukraine-war-nepal-sol
diers-killed


SYANGJA DISTRICT, Nepal — Reema Karki is angry, but she's good at hiding it with a stoic look on her face.

The 31-year-old woman from Nepal received a letter from the Nepalese Embassy in Moscow with news that her husband, Pritam Karki, had died on Nov. 15 while serving in the Russian military in Ukraine.

Thousands of miles away from their village in the Syangja district of Nepal, her husband used to send her texts and voice messages on the Telegram messaging app every two weeks. But the communication had gone silent.

In his last voice message, Pritam said he was in Russia, away from the front, and tried to reassure her: "My dear wife, this country is huge. It's risky on the front line, but I'm not there, so it's all good. It's just a matter of one year. After that, we will have a citizenship card and you can move here with me."

He was referring to the Russian government's offer of citizenship to foreigners after one year of serving in its army on a contractual basis.

He was one of hundreds of Nepali men Russia has recruited to bolster its military forces in nearly three years of war against Ukraine. Now, after some of them have died or disappeared, Nepal's government says it's taking steps to prevent citizens from going and urging Russia to send back the country's men.

"I didn't know much about the situation in Russia," Reema Karki tells NPR, saying her husband kept details from her.

"He never told me stories of war, never told me about the hardships he faced there. He used to say he is safe there. Had I known about the war, I would have never let him go," she says. "Only after I heard the news [of his death], I could sense that he was hiding things from me."

Nepal's Foreign Ministry estimates 400 of its citizens have gone to serve in the Russian army. Nepali fighters in Russia interviewed by NPR believe the total is more than 1,000.

Russia has been luring them with offers of Russian citizenship and salaries of about 300,000 Nepali rupees ($2,260) a month, while providing little clarity about what their roles would be, the Nepali fighters say.

The deal is appealing to some men in Nepal, where typical wages are much lower than that and unemployment hovers around 11%, according to the World Bank's latest estimate in 2022.

Pritam's mother, Kumari, calls it a trap and blames the Russian government for sending her son to his death.

"[The] Russian government should have kept their army in the front line of battle, and not our men. If we had known about the situation, we would have tried our best to bring Pritam back home alive. We would have begged or done everything in our power to make ends meet. We would have rescued him," she says.

Not only were they unable to bring him home alive, but also to get his remains back from Russia.

The Nepalese Embassy sent the family a death certificate, viewed by NPR, that said he had suffered "explosive trauma with damage to chest organs and left lower limb" and "injuries by shrapnel in an explosion as a result of military operations" and died in a hospital in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region.

"We heard that his body was in pieces when he died. We would have to get DNA tests to match his body parts and spend thousands of dollars to bring his body back. We just don't have that kind of money," laments Reema.

Hopeless, they performed the ritual of Pritam's last rites on a dummy made of hay.

TRUE.
Ukraine never abided by the agreement and France and Germany (as signatories and garantors) never made them. (Russia wasn't a signatory and therefore had no terms to meet.)
At one time or another, Merkel and Poroshenko said that the Minsk agreements were used to buy time for Ukraine's rearmament.

b) Ukraine committed “genocide” against Russians in “[Russia’s] historical territories” in Ukraine,

EXAGGERATED
Ukraine conducted a campaign of "ethnic cleansing", outlawing the Russian language, beating and killing Russian speaking people, and attempting to militarily subjugate their eastern provinces (oblasts). When that failed, they took to regularly shelling civilians in Donetsk City and cutting off the water supply to Crimea. Killing, and the control needed to implement genocide never, IMHO, reached the level of "genocide".


Quote:

c) and the West “deceived” Russia multiple times by expanding NATO

TRUE.
Russia agreed to the reunification of Germany based on American promises not to expand NATO "one inch eastward".

TRUE. Ukraine had massed 100,000 soldiers on its eastern border and increased shelling significantly. Whether this was preparation for war or provocation, it had the west's desired effect.

Period.

You are funny in the same way Putin is. There is such a riot of laughter as his writers in the Kremlin gather together to craft speeches where every sentence is absurd:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, and Kremlin officials claimed that Russia is in an existential geopolitical conflict with an alleged modern Nazi movement that extends beyond Ukraine while marking the 80th anniversary of the breaking of the siege of Leningrad. Putin attended the opening of a memorial to the Soviet victims of Nazi genocide in Leningrad Oblast on January 27 and focused heavily on long-standing claims that Russia is fighting “Nazis” in Ukraine.[1]

Putin asserted that select countries have adopted Nazi ideology and methods and tied this assertion to a number of European states promoting “Russophobia as a state policy.”[2] Putin declared that Russia will “do everything to suppress and finally exterminate Nazism” and cast Russia as pursuing the “aspirations of millions of people...all over the planet for true freedom, justice, peace, and security.”[3]

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko also attended the ceremony and stated that Belarus and Russia “are again faced with the question of the right to life of our civilization and the preservation of ancestral...[and] cultural values.”[4]

Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergei Naryshkin stated that Russia will not stop halfway in its fight against current Nazi followers, and Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin explicitly stated that “fascist ideology is becoming the norm...for leaders of NATO states” and specifically accused US President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz of sponsoring genocide in Ukraine.[5]

Volodin framed this alleged growing fascist movement as a “dangerous path that could lead to a new world war.”[6]

Putin specifically accused the Baltic states of adopting “Nazism,” likely as part of continued Kremlin efforts to set information conditions for future Russian aggression against NATO members.[11] Putin alleged that the Baltic states have declared thousands of people living there “subhuman,” are “depriving“ them of their “most basic rights,” and are subjecting them to “persecution.”[12] Although Putin did not specifically claim that the Baltic states are “persecuting” Russians or Russian speakers, Kremlin officials have routinely accused Baltic governments of having “neo-Nazi” policies and of oppressing Russians and Russian speakers.[13]

The Kremlin has historically used its concept of “compatriots abroad,” which vaguely includes ethnic Russians and Russian speakers of other ethnicities, to justify Russian aggression in neighboring states.[14] ISW continues to assess that Kremlin officials and mouthpieces may be attempting to set information conditions for possible future Russian aggression in the Baltic states – and other NATO members, such as Finland – under the guise of protecting Russia’s “compatriots abroad.”[15] The Kremlin may also use the pretext of protecting people from alleged “Nazi” policies in the future.

Is Congress Really Going to Abandon Ukraine Now?

By Anne Applebaum | January 27, 2024

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/us-congress-support-
ukraine-war/677256
/

The U.S. rallied the world to help the Ukrainians. Are Americans really going to leave them to their fate?

As I write this I am in Warsaw, 170 miles from Poland’s border with Ukraine. The front line, where Ukrainians are right now fighting and dying, is another 450 miles beyond that. Not so far, in other words. A long day’s drive. I am well within range of Russian missiles, the kind that have hit Kyiv, Odesa, and Lviv so many times over the past two years.

Tens of millions of other people — Poles, Germans, Romanians, Finns, Estonians, Swedes, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Czechs, Latvians, Norwegians — are also in range of Russian conventional missiles, whether launched from Belarus, Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine, or Russia itself. Anyone in Europe could also be hit by Russian nuclear weapons, of course, as Russian television propagandists so frequently like to remind us. Dmitri Medvedev, a former Russian president, in recent months has threatened Poland with the loss of its statehood, threatened Sweden and Finland with nuclear and hypersonic missiles, and said the Baltic states belong to Russia anyway.

Most of the time, the possibility of Russian aggression doesn’t affect anybody or change anything. No one talks about it. Life goes on as normal. In Finland and Romania, preparations for presidential elections are underway. In Germany, farmers are on strike. Lithuania is holding an international light festival.

The moment the Ukrainians start to lose, all of that will change. For the past few months, Western observers have been tossing around the word stalemate, as if the Russian invasion of Ukraine had settled into some kind of dull, permanent stasis. In fact, the battlefield is dynamic. The front line is constantly changing, and the changes, both material and psychological, are starting to favor Russia. The Ukrainians are just as brave as they were a year ago and just as innovative. Their drones recently hit a Russian gas depot near St. Petersburg, hundreds of miles from Ukraine, among other targets. With no navy of their own, they have pushed much of the Russian Black Sea fleet away from their shores. But on the ground, in the southern and eastern parts of their country, they are rationing ammunition. They’ve never had sufficient missiles and bullets, and now they are at risk of not having enough to keep fighting at all.

Were their front line to fall back dramatically, the horrific violence alone would trigger a shock wave through the rest of Europe. Russian occupation of more territory would continue to mean what it has meant for the past two years: torture chambers, random arrests, and thousands of kidnapped children. But an even deeper, broader shock wave would be triggered by the growing realization that the United States is not just an unreliable ally, but an unserious ally. A silly ally. Unlike the European Union, which collectively spends more money on Ukraine than Americans do but can’t yet produce as many weapons, the U.S. still has ammunition and weapons to send. Now Washington is on the verge of refusing to do so, but not because the White House has had a change of heart.

The looming end of American aid to Ukraine is not a policy decision. For two years, the Biden administration successfully led an international coalition to provide not soldiers but rather military aid to Ukraine. Officials convened regular meetings, consulted with allies, pulled in military support from around the world. Majorities in the U.S. continue to support Ukraine. Majorities in both houses of Congress do too. The Senate is said to have its legislation almost ready to go. But now, for reasons that outsiders find impossible to understand, a minority of Republican members of Congress, in a fit of political pique, are preparing to cut it all off. They might succeed.

Many different, bad choices led to this moment. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision last summer to cut Ukraine out of a larger budget bill was the first. The strange idea to link Ukraine aid to controversial changes to U.S. immigration law and border policy was the second. The ballots cast by voters in Iowa and New Hampshire then put Donald Trump on a seemingly unstoppable path to the Republican presidential nomination; Trump’s telephone calls to Republican senators, telling them to kill the Ukraine/border legislation, suddenly mattered. His motives are blatantly selfish: He wants the U.S.-Mexico border to remain chaotic so that he can use the issue in his campaign. He doesn’t want Biden to benefit from any perceived solution or progress. And he doesn’t care if Ukraine runs out of ammunition as a result.

To the outside world, none of the logic behind any of these decisions makes sense. All they can see is that the American political system has been hijacked and rendered dysfunctional by a radical, pro-Russian faction led by Trump—a disgraced ex-president who used violence and deceit to try to remain in office.

By abandoning Ukraine in a fit of political incompetence, Americans will consent to the deaths of more Ukrainians and the further destruction of the country. We will convince millions of Europeans that we are untrustworthy. We will send a message to Russia and China too, reinforcing their frequently stated belief that the U.S. is a degenerate, dying power. Less than a year ago, when Biden made his surprise trip to Kyiv, the U.S. projected confidence and unity as the leader of a functional alliance. Now, suddenly, we don’t.

Elected legislators don’t get that many opportunities to make a real mark on the world. But right now, the actions of just a few congressional Republicans could help stop a series of bad decisions from morphing into a worse one. This is their chance to make America serious again. Do they have the courage to take it?

Same old Russian tricks in the country west of Ukraine https://maps.app.goo.gl/5icii3CqwvkBcsz57

Kremlin officials and mouthpieces continue to set information conditions to destabilize Moldova, likely as part of efforts to prevent Moldova’s integration into the EU and the West among other objectives. Alexei Polishchuk, the director of the Second Department of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Countries at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), claimed in an interview with Kremlin newswire TASS published on January 28 that Moldova has begun to “destroy its ties” with CIS member states and the Russia-led CIS organization as a whole and that there are rumors that Moldova plans to leave the CIS by the end of 2024.[1] Polishchuk claimed that this decision would not benefit Moldovan interests or citizens and would be unprofitable for the Moldovan economy. Polishchuk also claimed that the settlement of the Transnistria issue in Moldova is in a “deep crisis” and that Moldova’s economic pressure on Transnistria since the beginning of 2024 has “further delayed” any solution.[2] Polishchuk claimed that Russia is ready to fix deteriorating relations between Moldova and Transnistria “as a mediator and guarantor” to the settlement.[3] Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Serebrian stated on January 28 that Moldova would not return to the 5+2 Transnistria negotiating process that included Russia as long as Russian-Ukrainian relations do not improve and Russia’s war in Ukraine continues.[4]

A prominent Kremlin-affiliated Russian milblogger, who has recently fixated on the Moldova-Transnistria conflict, continued to highlight alleged discontent in Moldova’s breakaway and autonomous regions. The milblogger claimed that about 50,000 people in Transnistria participated in a rally protesting against Moldovan economic pressure on Transnistria on January 24.[5] The milblogger also stated that Sergei Ibrishim, the Head of the Main Directorate of Agro-Industrial Complex of Gagauzia, sent a request recently to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for Russia to send fertilizer to Gagauzia as humanitarian aid.[6] Ibrishim also reportedly claimed that Gagauzia’s agricultural producers are unable to sell their products to Russia after Moldova’s decision in July 2023 to leave the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly and asked Lavrov to abolish excise taxes and customs duties for Russian imports from Gagauzia.[7] Polishchuk’s and the milblogger’s comments are likely aimed at dissuading Moldova from leaving the CIS and Russia’s wider sphere of influence, setting information conditions to create economic discontent within Moldova, and posturing Russia as an economic and security guarantor in Moldova.

Russia notably accused Ukraine of abandoning and disregarding the Minsk Agreements that had largely frozen the conflict after Russia’s 2014 invasion in the lead up to Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and Russia may be setting information conditions to make similar claims against Moldova.[8] ISW previously assessed that the Kremlin is likely setting information conditions to justify future Russian aggression in Moldova under the guise of protecting its “compatriots abroad” and the “Russian World” (Russkiy Mir) - concepts that are purposely based on vague definitions of ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in foreign countries.[9] Russia may attempt to justify its aggression or destabilization efforts in Moldova by claiming that Transnistrian residents are in danger due to Moldova’s alleged abandonment of the Transnistria settlement process. ISW recently observed suggestions that the Kremlin may be turning to rhetorical narratives that appeal to a wider audience beyond the “Russian World.”[10]

AFAIK Russia isn't attempting a breakthrough anywhere but Adiivka. Shoigu called the current Russia strategy "active defense" but Mercouris' description 'aggressive attrition" seems more descriptive. The way it works is Russia engages Ukraine in a way that doesn't cause heavy casualties on their side but attrits Ukrainian equipment and soldiers. Russia seems more than willing to lose equipment: they use (and lose) their FAB bombs and drones and APCs and tanks liberally (and missiles and drones on Ukraine's deep logistical hubs) but the purpose seems to be only to engage Ukraine's army enough to get them to fight, not "gain territory at all costs".

Even Dima of the Military Summary channel makes that mistake. Over and over he'll say something like "Russia bombed/ attacked with drones/ shelled/ stormed Ukrainian positions but nothing happened on the ground". Well, the front line may not have moved, but Ukraine just lost another 10-300 soldiers and 3-25 armored vehicles, howitzers/ radars/ stockpiles/ fortifications or whatever the hell Russia was aiming at. (These BTW are realistic estimates for each engagement from weeks of watching Military Summary channel.)

According to Mediazona, Russian losses per day have declined during this phase.

And altho the goal of Russian forces isnt to take territory, Russia is nonetheless nibbling territory all along the front line.

Dima says Ukraine is preparing the next big northern city, Kupiansk, for defense by laying minefields, setting armaments in heavy buildings, and creating observation points in tall buildings etc. Ukraine is also evacuating villages along the northern border between Russia and Kharkiv. The fear is that Russia will attack from the north and swoop south, behind the current front lines. Im not sure how realistic that fear is bc so far I haven't seen any indication of "big arrow" offenses, which is the western way of war, not Russia's.

You're welcome for the summary of how the war is going along the front line.

So Ukraine was throwing a lot of chaff into the air about shooting down a plane loaded with Ukrainian POWs being transported for a prisoner swap.

They first denied it happened, then claimed it was "staged" because there were no bodies. Well, somebody published a gruesome video of a body part found on the scene: the upper right hand approximately quarter of what used to be a person. (If you want to know what a body looks like after getting blown apart and falling tens of thouands of feet, I can post a link. Let me just say that it was like a bag of skin with everything inside having been "splatted" out, the head looking like something that had been set in a two ton press. I've never seen anything like it before. But the part that remained was fully identifiable by the tattoos on its "arm".)

This wouldn't be the first time they killed their own, since they struck barracks housing their POWS and killed at least 50.

Why Ukraine would do this, I don't know. They don't get anything out of it except discouraging their soldiers from surrendering or participating in prisoner swaps.

Maybe Ukraine's Russian POWs were beaten so badly Ukraine didn't have enough healthy prisoners to swap? Or maybe local defense made a mistake.

The Javelin: A High-Cost, High-Impact Weapon

By BNN Correspondents | Updated Jan 29, 2024 at 7:31 am EST

https://www.bnnbreaking.com/world/russia/ukrainian-javelin-missile-ope
rator-gagauz-strikes-at-the-heart-of-russian-forces
/

The Javelin missile, an investment worth $178,000 for each launcher and an additional $78,000 for every replacement missile, has demonstrated its mettle by breaching the defenses of some of the most formidable tanks, including Russia’s T-90 main battle tank. The missile system’s modus operandi involves latching onto a target’s thermal image, making it a formidable tool that can be wielded by a team of two soldiers or a lone operator. Its impressive range of up to 2.5 miles facilitates strikes from a safe distance.

The Ukrainian soldiers have not shied away from expressing their gratitude for the influx of anti-tank weapons from Britain.

Russia either produces 65 crushed Ukrainian bodies matching the prisoner exchange list or else it is lying.

If you want to know why so few bodies were found, look at this part of the debris field.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/EPe8Vk5teEfo/


Be prepared for that gruesome body part.
Most pieces of plane are very small in this video. Maybe pieces are bigger in another part of the debris field. But I'm surprised they found identifiable body parts. At this point, they'd need to do DNA testing on bits and pieces.
Ukraine can pay for the testing ...
