So … what’s the consensus estimate at this point for the total number of AFU combat effectives that got fed into this Kursk Kauldron?

The Russian MoD claims to have inflicted ~1000 casualties as of several hours ago. No doubt that number has grown in the meantime.

“🤔 Playing High Cards at the Right Time

So far in the Ukraine War, both Russia and NATO have resisted the temptation to employ any precision weaponry that was not previously known to be operational, and whose capabilities were not more or less known.

The big difference is that the NATO stuff has underperformed to what has been, for most military observers, a shocking degree.

Worse yet, the NATO precision weaponry is typically overengineered, expensive, scarce, and utterly unable to be produced in quantities sufficient to sustain a protracted, high-intensity conflict.

On the other side of the ledger, the Russian stuff has consistently overperformed to what has been, for most military observers, an impressive degree.

Even more shocking is that the much less-expensive and more effective Russian precision weaponry is being produced in astounding quantities that far exceed NATO’s capacity to sustain a protracted, high-intensity conflict.

These factors being present, I increasingly believe the Pentagon may yield to the temptation to employ one or more “high cards” they’ve held close to the vest so far.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve already done it a few times — it simply hasn’t been recognized yet.

What kind of “high cards”?

Hard to say for sure. But I figure they must have several small collections of “things they’ve been working on”.

And given the fact the Russians have begun to roll up the Ukrainian army in a fashion that is plainly inexorable, the Masters of Empire have to be aching to get some sort of PR victory to at least momentarily alleviate the growing sense of hopelessness.

And herein lies the risk of playing high cards too soon.

Let’s conjecture, for example, that the US has some advanced long-range HARMS-type missile. And let’s suppose, just for the sake of argument, that they’re willing to strap a few of them to a couple NATO “volunteer-piloted” late-generation F-16s flying out of, say, Romania.

In such a scenario, I don’t think it’s at all unlikely they would achieve an impressive initial success against, for example, a top-shelf Russian air-defense radar.

So then they would be tempted to do it again. And it would probably be more or less successful a second time.

But by the third time around, the Russians would be “on to the game”, and would probably not only defeat most of the missiles, but would also likely pick off one or both of the F-16s.

Not only would the new wunderwaffe be exposed, but the reality of one or more of the NATO-piloted launch aircraft would be revealed.

That, of course, would constitute the highest plateau of escalation yet seen in this war.

Anyway … these are just some passing thoughts.”
[is Will ruminating on coming escalations by Orange, when his “final offers” are inevitably rebuffed??]
⭕ 🤔 In reaction to reports of a Trump/Putin chat, a large segment of observers is giddy about the prospects for an expeditious end of the war in Ukraine.

This euphoria is based on the assumption that Putin will compromise the stated objectives of the “Special Military Operation”.

3. its alleged violations of human rights, in reference to the recent law on expropriation of land.

“President Donald J. Trump is committed to holding South Africa accountable for its actions,” the statement said.

❗️ Earlier, in his address to the nation last Thursday, President Cyril Ramaphosa said that no one would succeed in “bullying” his country. He also expressed his willingness to discuss the matter directly with Trump.
[this is stupid. How do each of the three listed items, which concern either S.A. or a third nation, lead to infringement on US or a “hostile stance”?!! Unless either the implied infringement is the prerogative to rule other nations and their foreign policies, or the US is now the official orifice of messianic judaism! Insanity]
⭕ ❗️For the first time, Russia’s Putin spoke by phone with Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa
⭕ ❗️ Hegseth emphasizes that the United States will not send troops to Ukraine

According to him, no troop deployment to Ukraine should fall within Article 5 or the NATO purview.

According to that article, if any NATO member nation is attacked, the other members will view it as an attack on themselves and provide assistance.

“To be clear, as part of any security guarantee, there will not be US troops deployed to Ukraine,” the Pentagon chief said.
⭕ 🇷🇺 🌍 Russia is looking for and finding opportunities to continue cooperation with African countries regardless of Western sanctions, FM Lavrov said

💬 “Of course, we are looking for and finding in most cases opportunities to continue our mutually beneficial cooperation with countries in Africa and other continents, regardless of the criminal, unilateral, illegitimate actions of the collective West,” Lavrov said, commenting on the impact of sanctions on partnership with African states.
[this is more plain speaking than I recollect from Lavrov! “criminal” – no further mincing of words. Judgment appears to have been rendered on the Orange regime..]

💠@Middle East Spectator:
⭕ Iran has revealed a drone that can be launched from underneath the water |media|
⭕ North Korean state media denounced Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza and relocate Palestinians as ‘ludicrous’ and accused Washington of extortion
⭕ Russia and Sudan have concluded an agreement on the establishment of a Russian naval base near Port Sudan.
[Good news from Sudan. The terrorist RSF faction is about to lose Khartoum, the capital on the Nile, in a major defeat. And they’re being steadily rolled back, due to loss of legitimacy, demoralized mercenaries and troops, and dronification brought to Sudan courtesy of civilizational-states. UAE, on behalf of USUK tried to stall and get a “Ramadan ceasefire” starting in two weeks, which was rebuffed. Sudanese FM came to Moscow on victory lap and to thank the Russian Federation. More signs of Rollback]

💠@Africa Intel:
⭕ ❗️🇷🇺🇸🇩 It seems that the Russian base in Sudan will indeed be built

It appears that the saga of building a Russian base in Port Sudan is finally coming to an end: Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Youssef Sharia reported that the countries have “reached full agreement” on the construction of the facility.

🔻The agreement to create a logistics support point (LSP) for the Russian Navy was reached back in 2017. However, due to bureaucratic inertia and changes in the political landscape, the process dragged on.

First, Omar al-Bashir, with whom the contract was signed, was overthrown in Sudan. Then the country’s political course changed, and later it fell into the abyss of civil war. All this put the construction of the LSP into serious question.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗️However, in the past year, important steps have been taken, including the unambiguous siding of the government in the civil conflict. The US sanctions against the Sudanese authorities also prompted them to cooperate with Russia.

Various foreign agent media and Turkish propaganda resources tried to derail the deal by spreading fakes about the alleged refusal of the government in Khartoum to host the Russian base. But, as can be judged, they failed to do so.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
Now it is important to avoid the mistakes of the past and not to delay the construction of the facility. Especially in light of the suspended status of the bases in Syria.
[the West, and UAE, moved heaven and earth to level Sudan, for the sake of Zion. Sudanese are fiercely pro-Palestinian, and like Yemenis, would be expected to fight the coming expansion of Pax Judaica, at expense of arabs. And sleepy Sudanese can be as fierce fighters as Yemen, having burnt the British Empire back in the day. And they are located too close too Palestine, with just Egypt intervening, on a direct land route much much closer than Yemen. Alas, they’ve been set back 1,000 years, and will mostly be NPCs going forward] 

💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Security Council: Kiev’s and the West’s Peace Proposals Are Unrealistic

The Ukraine conflict could still be resolved peacefully, but only if the West radically changes its approach, says Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Alexei Shevtsov.

He emphasized that Russia would not have launched its military operation if Ukraine and the West had honored the Minsk agreements. He added that Ukrainians have the right to demand accountability for this deception.

💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
⭕ The Arab League secretary general has rejected any displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, calling it “unacceptable” for the region.

“This is unacceptable for the Arab world, which has been fighting this idea for 100 years.
“We Arabs are not prepared to capitulate in any way,” he said.
[are they negotiating the terms?? The shame of this institution matches ECOWAS and OSCE, etc.]

💠@imetatronink:
⭕🔻 Lord Bebo: 🇺🇸🇷🇺‼️🚨 BREAKING: Trump and Putin made a deal!

National Security Advisor Mike Walz announced that Steve Witkoff was leaving Russian airspace on his plane along with American citizen Mark Fogel, who was imprisoned in Russia

What the details are, is not known but a deal was made
🔻 WS: The Witkoff to Moscow mystery is solved.
[this was the window dressing. It is said he also spoke with VVP for a few hours.]
⭕ Israel is acutely overextended and substantially depleted.

I am convinced the IDF cannot sustain its presence in Syria while simultaneously being compelled to resume combat operations in Gaza and southern Lebanon.

And they can only bomb so long as limited US stockpiles last.
[just as Palestinians are not alone, neither are the zionazis. They’ve got at their disposal the resources and manpower of much of the Golden Billion slaves]
🔻 Anna: Israel thinks it has backing of US and they are invincible… that will be their demise. They are making a huge mistake in Syria and it will end badly for them
🔻 Halide Edip: how long can those constantly replenished stockpiles last?
🔻 Yasha: They’ll have serious trouble getting their soldiers back in Gaza.
⭕ Insightful observation by the Big Serge.
[links:
🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺:
I think the reason that FPV drones seem to horrify people in a way that systems like tube artillery do not is the understanding that the drone operator has to make a conscious and willful decision to kill, whereas an artillery shell grants a thin but plausible denial of agency.

War has always been predicated at its base on the willingness of men to kill each other in intimate settings, but the modern technical battlefield has sanitized this to a certain extent through distance and intermediary technology. Drones resurrect the ancient violent intimacy.

One thinks of Junger, talking about the English officer that he had to kill in close quarters – he has a vivid memory of the man. Now people on social media have a look into killing of this sort, but without the terror and adrenaline that accompanied it throughout history.]
🔻 C2: That and it’s documented on camera
🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺: It’s that, but there is footage of shells hitting and tanks blowing up but it never seems to haunt people the same way.
🔻 C3: Yep. Far worse than snipers. Just horrible.
🔻 Digital Plant Lifeform: That and the quite sharp 1080p slo-mo of a single foot getting blown off by a grenade and the guy begging for mercy as the second grenade falls resulting in more but not immediately fatal injuries, as all parties involved know another 30min round trip is needed.
🔻 New California Neighbor!: Artillery doesn’t film sadistic snuff videos.

🔻Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺:
If the United States proceeds with an ethnic cleansing policy in Gaza, the entire ME will be plunged into unprecedented chaos and instability. Such an act would shatter regional alliances, escalate conflicts, and provoke widespread resistance, not only from the Palestinian people but from states and non-state actors across the region.
[and like a demented witch doktor sticking that pin into the black voodoo doll, they shall go back into Gaza for precisely the purpose of blowing up our world and birthing the Moshiach. Today, I was speaking casually with a nonpolitical female Egyptian Obstetrician – she shocked me, listing points, and expects the end of the world and the coming of the Messiah any moment]
