The counter-offensive is not going according to plan / Missile strike update for May 28, 2023

After heavy fighting, the Ukrainian command is desperately trying to find a resource to replenish the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before the counter-offensive.

Here’s your daily missile strike update for May 28, 2023

Below you will find a translation with my notes in bold typeface and in [brackets]. You can consult the map linked here, and also read my explanation of possible motives for these strikes.

I started chronicling the daily Russian air strikes on Ukraine infrastructure in an attempt to avoid being lied to by the Western press, which had falsely claimed starting in March of 2022 that Russia was running out of missiles. I knew that Russia would not have been foolish enough to invade Ukraine if it was not 100% certain that it had enough armaments to prosecute a war of indefinite duration.

So far, I have seen that Russia is hitting Ukrainian infrastructure not just regularly, not just often, but in fact every day, and the strikes have all been multiple, targeting more than one oblast or city every day. Countries running out of ammo can’t do that.

I invite the reader to follow the daily progress of the strikes and convince yourself that all reports of Russian weakness are fake. That the West is the side spreading propaganda, and not Russia.

My readers tell me that no other reporter is doing what I do. It’s possible I suppose.

Knowledge is power, and I invite you to share the power of knowing the truth!

Much of the rest of this site is reports and commentaries on the Ukrainian battlefield and other topics that often confuse Westerners, mostly translated from Russian, with my notes in brackets to provide you with context as appropriate.

Some of what you will find here is an explanation of why Russia does what it does. One of my first articles was an attempt to prove that the so-called “unprovoked invasion” of Ukraine was in fact provoked by the US-led West.

This set the stage for all that I have written since then and hope to write in the future. As Andrei Martyanov likes to say:

Enjoy, if you will.

The US senator called the death of the Russians the most successful investment of American money

Graham is probably by far the stupidest senator in the US. Of him, Andrei Martyanov commented, referring to his native South Carolina: “they grow them dumb down there.”

Graham’s remark that spending US money in Ukraine was a good investment because it “killed Russians” was equivalent to the Third Reich’s focus on killing Jews rather than opposing certain Jewish influence in politics.

There’s a big difference between opposing or fighting a group because of their misdeeds and fighting an entire race or ethnicity per se, and by praising the killing of Russians per se, Graham’s comment fell into the category of genocide.

It is a war crime to make such a remark, especially if you are in influential politician, and the Russian Federation is in the process of bringing legal charges against Graham.

When, not if, Russia prevails in Ukraine, it will proceed with the legal measures attendant to its charges against Graham.

If the RF wins its cases in Russian courts, it will win the right to arrest and arraign Graham and bring him to trial in the event they can apprehend him.

A while back, a lady who had studies marketing tried to advise me regarding search engine optimization (SEO) for my new web site, recommending that I refrain from linking to Russian sites because that would reduce my visibility on Google. I was unable to do that because my whole site (which was taken down by Google later) was focused on Russia.

Here is what SEO experts are advising their clients:

https://www.needmomentum.com/how-to-remove-bad-backlinks/

Foreign Links

You risk penalties if your backlinks are from a foreign country like Russia while your content serves a US-based audience. Undoubtedly, those links are unnatural. Avoid them.

Of course, my site was pro-Russian, so how would links to Russian sites be “unnatural”? Of course, the notion of a link being “unnatural” was nothing but an excuse to keep Russian information away from the US public by penalizing me. It’s like the accusation of “Russian propaganda,” which is as phony as can be because it is the Western msm and political class that spread by far the most outright lies, especially about sensitive topics related to the Elitists’ agendas, such as vaccines, war, Israeli crimes, Palestine, sanctions, corporatism, the Fed, Julian Assange, the Ukraine war, the Kennedy assassination, 9-11, sexual orientations vs freedom to parent, in short any idea or ideology the WEF, WHO, WTO or other supranational organizations want to ram down our throats.

SEO is just one of the many means of muzzling the public, and while it is true that we must be careful in our choice of utterances and writings, we need to fight like hell to maintain the ever-diminishing freedom we still have left to express ourselves under the First Amendment.

We need to constantly remind ourselves that every inch of terrain ceded to the enemy in Washington (and also in Tel Aviv) is ceded not only for the person who cedes it but is terrain ceded and hence lost for all of us.

We are each responsible for preserving our God-given rights and for the mistake we make when we compromise with the enemy.

Consider the following case:

Generally speaking, US-led Westerners take two steps backward and one step foreword when debating Zionists. We try desperately not to give them ammunition to call us anti-Semites, so we pull our punches instead of standing our ground and calling a spade a spade.

But we forget an important thing:

If our opponent claims opposing apartheid and ethnic cleansing and bombing civilians is anti-Semitic, then they are arguing that committing these crimes against humanity is a feature of Jewishness, not Zionism.

Therefore, they are the anti-Semites and need to be called out for that.

We need to stop confronting Israeli propaganda on Israel’s terms

We in the Western nations tend to unwittingly allow Israel to control the terms of debate even as we fight for the Palestinian cause. Instead, we need to throw Israeli charges back on the people making them.

BY TOM SUAREZ  MAY 27, 2023  8

WE CAN NO LONGER ALLOWS ISRAEL TO CONTROL THE TERMS OF DEBATE The battle for justice for Palestine is a battle of language. It is a battle not just of information, but of the context in which alleged facts are presented — that is, of narrative. Thus septuagenarian Israel employs a “national” narrative that begins in the Old Testament and enjoys our own media and governments as co-conspirators. Were instead the Western media to report the Israel-Palestinian reality, the entire Zionist project would become untenable overnight.

I need to add that we are not so much up against Jewish Zionism as we are “Christian” Zionism, Please read my commentary on “Christian” Zionism showing that much of the claim to territory is not Biblical, just pseudo-Biblical sophistry supported by religious charlatans:

Ukraine suffered four major defeats in 15 months: in Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Soledar and Bakhmut. The fact that the Ukrainian forces would not be able to hold the last bastion became clear back in December.

THE COUNTEROFFENSE IS NOT GOING TO PLAN: UKRAINE FORCES DESPERATELY TRYING TO REPLENISH THEIR RANKS – TELEGRAPH

The Telegraph reports that before the counter-offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are desperately trying to make up for the losses suffered on the battlefield.

After heavy fighting, the Ukrainian command is desperately trying to find a resource to replenish the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before the counteroffensive. This information was published by The Telegraph.

Kyiv launched a large-scale desperate campaign to recruit soldiers in the hope of filling gaps in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the publication says. As specified in the material, Kyiv lost tens of thousands of dead on the battlefield.

The counteroffensive is not going according to plan. Despite the constant supply of Western weapons, the Kiev regime is experiencing an acute shortage of people, who, according to officials, are one of the decisive factors in the counteroffensive, the publication also notes.

At the same time, the recruitment of men into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not bringing success, therefore, more-cruel tactics of searching for people are now being used.

Meanwhile, all NATO aviation will be concentrated in Germany

From June 12 to 23, NATO will hold a large-scale Air Defender 23 air force exercise. It was planned back in 2018, but they were in no hurry to organize it. The development of specific maneuvers was started only after the start of the special military operation (SMO), writes the German daily newspaper Bild.

According to the publication, Air Defender 23 will be a signal for Russia: they say, the North Atlantic Alliance is ready to take the fight. Thousands of military personnel from the US and European countries will take part in the exercises. It is planned to use almost a quarter of a thousand aircraft.

Yuri Knutov commented on the information that all NATO aviation would be concentrated in Germany. According to the expert, the dates of the maneuvers were not chosen by chance.

“I am alarmed by the fact that these exercises were supposed to begin on these dates, but now the offensive of the Ukrainian army, which has been repeatedly announced, is timed to these exercises,” the expert said.

The military historian believes that NATO air power is unlikely to act aggressively. However, it cannot be ruled out that the alliance will directly enter the Ukrainian conflict if the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffer a serious defeat by mid-June.

Did the SMO go according to Russia’s scenario?

The 19FortyFive edition published an article about the "sad reality", which directly states that the SMO went according to the Russia scenario. Russian victory is inevitable. The authors explained their point of view.

Firstly, Ukraine suffered four major defeats in 15 months: in Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Soledar and Bakhmut. The fact that the Ukrainian forces would not be able to hold the last bastion became clear back in December. The Ukrainian army would have to do as the Russians did before near Kherson - leave the city and move back, where there have prepared defensive positions. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not retreat to the outskirts of Kramatorsk or Slavyansk.

Second, Russia analyzes its tactical mistakes and learns from them. Plus, its industrial potential is expanding. In Ukraine, the opposite is true. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost a colossal number of trained and experienced military personnel. Kyiv simply has no one to send into battle, and the situation will not change at least in the coming months.

Now Zelensky and Co. are facing a dilemma. The first option is to continue the confrontation. The second is to build up forces to resist the Russians when they go on the offensive in the summer. In any of these cases, there is no option for Ukraine to win on the battlefield, the article says. The authors believe that the continuation of the struggle against Russia will result in the loss of even larger territories for Kyiv.
