Understanding the Enemy

The Russo-Ukraino War continues to dominate the news.  Unfortunately, that means we are afflicted with clueless broadcasters, propaganda from both sides, and of course, the military expert. No war coverage is complete without the respected military expert.  The airwaves and bandwidths are saturated with exes, formers, and retireds expounding away night after night as they try to penetrate the fog of war while we try to figure out what it all means.  Ignore most of them.  They don't know much more than you do about what is going on over in Ukraine, they just know how to make their ignorance sound better is all. However, if you want to gain a better understanding of what is taking place in the war,  you might want to check out a book published a few years ago by none other than the U.S. Army.  It might know a thing or two about the Russian military.  

The Foreign Military Studies Office of the U.S. Army published a study of the Russian military in 2016,  The Russian Way of War: Force Structure, Tactics, and Modernization of the Russian Ground Forces.  If seeking a better understanding of the war and how the Russian army fights, this book is not a bad place to start.  It can be downloaded for free in pdf format.  The book is posted below as well.

Like it matters? The reality is there’s a Truman show screwing everybody over so world governments can distract distract distract. Believe what you want, read what you want . This is different and along with Covid …we are all in for devastating life changes if the right folks don’t act in defense.

Russians love Putin more than Americans love Biden, Kamala, and Pelosi.
Ukrainians do NOT love Zelenskyy, and have always viewed him as a foreign puppet forced upon them after the CIA deposed their last democratically elected leader in a coup that fee Americans can remember.

It’s all part of the plan. Central Banks have their new programmable, digital currencies ready to replace our current fiat holdings. People are being conditioned to accept the famine and war. Next will be a huge cyber blackout that will be blamed on either hackers or a solar flare. Afterward, Central Banks and Global Government will require us to all use online digital IDs tied to our social credit score and CBDCs.

For those unfamiliar, CBDC stands for Central Bank Digital Currency and it sill be the new currency that will rise from the ashes of the pending global economic collapse, and the great reset.

Vlad Putin is in on the plan. Russians aren’t behind on digital currency. A Russian created the second most popular cryptocurrency called Etherium.

Military experts? What in the hell do we need military experts for to tell us what's happening and what should/should not be done? We have a ton of former medical experts, particularly those with specialties in epidemiology that have given up their prior field of expertise and become social media educated and trained military - as well as political -- experts. No need to watch the broadcast news, read it on social media and in blog posts and commentary..

Putin is killing innocent babies and women.

About it.

NATO members are at war already.

US is at war….we just haven’t said it.

I'll take the military experts on TV over the first few crackpots that showed up to comment here.

Those are chump stats, amateur numbers. His body count of dead innocents is still lower than Obama’s air strikes during the “Arab Spring” and Bush’s during the “War on Terror” so whatever.

7:08, I know it is wrong to think this. But, dead blonde and blue eyed Slavic children causes a more intense emotional impact than dead Arab children.

People should be thankful that a post like this once a week plus the weekly update from Starkpatch gives that certain part of the JJ crowd a safe place to go.

You clearly do not understand what a “safe space” is.

@4:56 - wow, you are very smart and genuine. How did you come up with the idea of an NPC? Is there a good backstory to the new term you created?

5:20 is in the ballpark. Do not dismiss this folks. Well, you folks like myself who aren't uber rich. Rich folks are already on the "plan".

Watched Zelinsky's speech to Congress this morning. Thought ole nancy was going to have an orgasm at the podium. He seems to be loved by all involved except Russia and Belarus.

@5:20 I think you forgot to add the reemergance of Covid-19 about to also take center stage with the crap going on in China/Hong Kong and the announcement of the now needed 4th dose of vaccine.

Reading these posts have me thinking I need to go buy a break-down shovel at a war-surplus store.

And, SHIT, just last year I gave away two cases of MREs left from Katrina.

10:06 : We are one hack away from going back in time 200 years. Never forget Katrina madness as a guide. One dying hacker looking to take everyone with him/her is all that it would take. The grid is like a newborn puppy.

Is it true that certain folks will pay large sums of money (actually bitcoin or in precious metals) for unopened canned goods that are so old they don't have barcodes or QR codes on them? I suppose this would be because there's no need to store the prepper pantry in a Faraday tinfoil cage to avoid remote scanning? Also it might be easier to transport unmarked food without needing to turn truck into a Faraday cage? Also noticed the other day Wally World has Regular Duty Reynold Wrap back in stock. Prices will never be lower.

I only know of one person who buys old MREs. He is a youtuber who tests old MREs and rations on his channel. His name is Steve and his personality is very similar to Bob Ross the painter. Steve1989MREInfo Youtube Channel

10:14 - I know why you need tin-foil. How many boxes did you buy and are you going to share those tin-foil hats in your neighborhood or simply hoard them?

Anonymous said...

While the rest of the MEDIA reports that scores were killed by russian bombs in a building marked children inside a CBS on ground reporter talking to Gayle King slipped up and said they were underground and everyone survived. Much to Gayle Kings clear "doh moment" in her counterpart. Tin foil hat comments ? Really ? All you dopes have to do is listen ! Pay attention.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
