Russia’s victory in Kursk

Posted by: John Phoenix Report on the liberation of Kursk by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Vladimir Putin. Valery Gerasimov: Today, we liberated the village of Gornal, the last populated area in the Kursk Region, from Ukrainian units. Units of the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment of the 72nd Division, the 810th and 40th Separate Marine Brigades, the 177th Separate Marine Regiment and the 1427th Motor Rifle Regiment have particularly distinguished themselves in this regard. The defeat of the armed formations of the Ukrainian armed forces that invaded the Kursk Region has thus been completed. The plans of the Kiev regime to create a so-called strategic bridgehead and disrupt our ...

Ukraine war – approaching the end game.

Posted by: John Phoenix The crushing defeat of the West’s proxy forces in Ukraine has kicked the door open to an eventual possible diplomatic solution to the immediate conflict, one that addresses Russia’s legitimate security concerns (namely the aggressive expansion of Nato up to Russia’s borders), advances the denazification of Ukrainian society, and guarantees measures to prevent any future imperialist meddling in the region. No such positive outcome is guaranteed, or is even likely, but at the least the unceremonious dumping of both Brussels and Kiev from the talks draws a clear line dividing the current negotiations from the mendacious travesty of the Minsk process whose sole purpose was to string Russia along whilst Kiev replenished its forces, as was freely attested to b...

NATO chief fears Trump-Zelensky conflict could derail summit – NYT

Posted by: John Phoenix Mark Rutte is reportedly hoping to keep any meeting between the two “short and sweet” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte © Getty Images / Omar Havana NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte fears that tensions between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky could undermine the bloc’s upcoming summit in the Netherlands, The New York Times reported on Monday. Citing European officials and diplomats, the outlet has said that Rutte has sought to keep the meeting “short and sweet” to avoid renewed public rifts over Ukraine’s bid to join the military bloc.

What If the Conventional Wisdom About Putin’s War is Mostly Wrong?

Posted by: John Phoenix Photograph Source: Kremlin.ru – CC BY 4.0 The conventional wisdom regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine is universally accepted by retired generals and ambassadors; bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate; too many political scientists, and of course the ever obedient mainstream media.  The conventional wisdom roughly dictates that Putin invaded Ukraine to overthrow the government and occupy the entire country, marking the first step to reach further into East Europe to return states such as Poland to the Russian orbit; and to recreate the Soviet empire. This wisdom dictates that the only response to Putin’s putative empire-building is to isolate Moscow; increase sanctions; pursue the war as Ukraine’s benefact...

“It’s not my war.” —Donald Trump (on board Air Force One on April 25)

President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the Ukraine War is Joe Biden’s, not his. But now the Ukraine war belongs to Trump. He can no longer deny ownership. From Defence-blog.com: President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved its first weapons sale to Ukraine since the start of his second term, with plans to authorize direct commercial exports valued at $50 million or more. The move was first reported by Kyiv Post, citing diplomatic sources, and later confirmed through congressional records. According to the report, the U.S. administration formally notified Congress on April 30 of its intention to allow the sale of military goods to Ukraine under the Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) program. This mechanism permits U.S. defense companies to negotiate a...

The “Three Seas Initiative” Will Play a Prominent Role in Post-Conflict Europe
