I lived most of my life in Europe and even though by the time I moved to the USA (2002) Europe was already in a very bad shape, what I see happening there now never ceases to amaze me. In fact, it makes me wonder if the Europeans or, more accurately, the European leaders have gone completely insane. Either that, or maybe they have some kind of death wish?
The first thing which absolutely amazes me is the fact that the EU leaders are acting as if this was still the 1980s when Europe still mattered and when the European continent was relatively prosperous. And even when EU leaders acknowledge the problems facing Europe today (crime, immigration, lockdowns, civil unrest, tensions with Russia, self-defeating sanctions under US pressure, etc.), they systematically deal with them (so to speak) by minimizing their actual and potential impact and consequences. And if nothing else matters, they use the riot police forces to “solve” the issue.
Then there is NATO which now seems to believe that mantric incantations and some really dumb military “for show” activities along the borders of Russia will terrify the Kremlin and turn Russians into Poles. Apparently, the entire analytical apparatus of NATO has never opened a history book. Either that, or they have decided to ignore the lessons of history, because “this time around” the Russians will definitely surrender.
To be fair, all the military operations along the Russian border bother the Russians only because they show that the “collective West” still hates and fears Russia. But in purely military terms, they are a joke.
Not so long ago the endless western provocations eventually got a reaction out of Russia: the Russians re-created of the First Guards Tank Army (FGTA). For most people, the concept of “Tank Army” means little. A “Guards Tank Army” even less. So rather than use any Russian sources (Putin’s never sleeping “hackers” and “agents”), let’s take a source which nobody can suspect of being pro-Russian: Wikipedia. Please check this Wikipedia entry for the history of the First Guard Tank Army”. At the bottom of the article, there is a partial list of units and subunits composing this Army. Check it out:
- Army Headquarters (Odintsovo, Moscow Oblast)
- 60th Command Brigade (Selyatino village near Odintsovo, Moscow Oblast)
- 2nd Guards Motor Rifle ‘Tamanskaya’ Division (Kalininets, Moscow Oblast)
- 4th Guards Tank ‘Kantemirovskaya’ Division (Naro-Fominsk, Moscow Oblast)
- 6th Separate Tank ‘Częstochowa’ Brigade (Mulino, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast)
- 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle ‘Sevastopol’ Brigade (Mosrentgen, Moscow City)
- 112th Guards Missile ‘Novorossiysk’ Brigade (Shuya, Ivanovo Oblast) (9K720 Iskander)
- 288th Artillery ‘Warsaw’ Brigade (Mulino, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast)
- 49th Missile Air Defence Brigade (Krasnyi Bor, Smolensk Oblast) (Buk-M2)
- 96th Separate ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance) Brigade (Sormovo, Nizhny Novgorod City)
- unknown Combat Engineer Regiment (in formation until the end of 2018) (unknown location in Moscow Oblast)
- 20th Separate NBC Defence Regiment (Tsentralny, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast)
- 69th Separate Logistics Brigade (Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast)
No need to go into all the details, but let’s just say two things about this Tank Army: first, it has a lot more capabilities than “just” tanks and, second, this was the Army which really broke the back of the Nazi forces in WWII: it destroyed or captured 5,500 tanks, 491 self-propelled guns, 1,161 aircraft, 1,251 armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 4,794 guns of various calibers, 1,545 mortars, 5,797 machine guns, 31064 vehicles and other military equipment. The 1st guards tank army fought its way from Kursk to Berlin, which stretched for three thousand kilometers (source).
By the way, the FGTA will also get the very newest and best Russian tanks (there is no point in deploying the Armata family of armored vehicles elsewhere but towards the western borders of Russia), and the two most famous tank divisions of modern Russia.
Furthermore, we need to understand that this Tank Army will not operate in isolation, but will be directly supported by the Western and Southern Military Districts , the Black and Baltic Sea Fleets (equipped with the newest Russian hypersonic missiles) and the Aerospace Forces. Even the powerful Northern Fleet and the Caspian Flotilla (!) could, if needed, provide support for central European operations thanks to the long reach of Russian missiles.
So what is the purpose of the FGTA? Think of it as a powerful armored “fist” whose main goal is to stop any enemy attack and then punch through its defenses. Russia also announced that she will double the size of her Airborne Forces (currently at 4 Airborne/Air Assault Divisions, 4 Air Assault Brigades, 1 Special Operations Brigade, with roughly 45’000+ soldiers). Besides these Airborne/Air Assault units, the Russian military can also make use of her Spetsnaz Forces (8 Spetsnaz Brigades and 1 Spetsnaz Regiment according to the IISS’s Military Balance 2020). True, only part of these units will go to the Western and Southern Military Districts, but that is already much more than what NATO could realistically hope to be able to cope with (for details, see here).
Here is a short video to give you a sense of how Russian Airborne Forces (all fully mechanized, unlike their western “equivalents”) are preparing for next generation wars:
Oh, and did I mention that the entire Russian nuclear triad has been modernized (or is currently in the process of modernization)?
Now comes the interesting question:
What kind of forces does NATO have which could deal with this kind of power?
On paper, a lot. In terms of raw numbers (what military analysts call “bean counts”), the West has much larger forces than the Russian ones.
But, in reality, very, very little, at least of military value.
What is NATO today? First, a coalition of small countries trying to find the courage to bark at the Russian bear the way dozens of chihuahuas would bark at a big brown bear. These small countries are what I call “prostitute states” – they don’t want sovereignty, freedom or dignity. All they want is for Uncle Shmuel to protect them when they bark and for the EU to give them tons of money as a reward for their prostitution to the collective West. They are apparently unaware that Uncle Shmuel is a world champion in destroying countries, but in terms of actually winning wars, Uncle Shmuel is one of the worst war losers in history (in that sense, the US and Russian militaries are polar opposites). They are also apparently unaware that the EU is broke and in a deep crisis. Besides, even the normally compliant the Germans are now getting fed up spending billions of Euros on their clueless and hopeless eastern neighbors (and I don’t blame them!).
There are also more civilized countries in NATO, countries which used to have some very real military power and a history of winning and losing wars: Germany, the UK, France, etc – what Rumsfeld called “Old Europe”. They are all former imperial powers of their own, and they are much more aware of what it takes to win (or lose) a war.
Their problem, however, is that they are now true US protectorates/colonies, with no real foreign policy of their own. Their top leaders, political and military, are also prostitutes, just like “New Europe”, so while they have a wealth of historical experience to draw from, they cannot act on it because of the iron grip Uncle Shmuel has on their political throats. Even France, which used to have some real independence, under such leaders as de Gaulle and Mitterrand, now is just another voiceless and clueless protectorate.
Which leaves the USA. I won’t repeat it all here, but to sum it all up: there are only two segments of the US military forces which are still meaningfully combat capable: the nuclear triad and the US submarine forces (strategic and attack). Both use mostly old, even outdated, equipment, both waste absolutely fantastic sums of money, but both are still for real. The problem with such a lop-sided force is that while it can devastate any enemy, it can only do so at the cost of being devastated by the Russian counter-strikes. In other words, by the time the US SSN and SSBN are engaged against Russia, we will be dealing with a large-scale war (even more so if nukes are used, which they probably will, at least on the tactical level). Oh, and this too: no amount of subs and nukes can “protect” any part of Europe from a (entirely hypothetical) Russian attack (conventional or not). For that, you still need the one thing the US has the least of: combat capable “boots on the ground”.
Did you know that in the 1990s Russia almost had no defenses in the western direction? Nothing bigger than division/brigade sized forces. And they were all in very bad shape. And the Kremlin, under Eltsin, only wanted to further “reform” (i.e. “destroy”) the Russian military.
So what brought about such dramatic changes in the Russian force posture?
The EU/US/NATO war against the Serbian nation.
And the endless western threats, of course.
One could be excused for thinking that the collective West would have realized this mistake and that now they would try something smarter?
Nope!
They did exactly the same thing again, this time with the Kaliningrad enclave.
And they are now openly talking about “dealing with Russia from a position of force”!
Last time Germany tried that, it didn’t go too well, did it?
Let me summarize what recently happened: the Russians mostly deployed defensive systems in Kaliningrad: air defenses, early warning radars, signals intelligence, fighters, interceptors, electronic warfare units, etc. According to Russian sources, these systems had the ability to spy on much of northern Europe and were capable of simultaneously engaging 475 aerial targets (missiles, aircraft, etc.). Furthermore, these capabilities provided much needed support for the operations of the Baltic Sea Fleet.
Western analysts, always in search for some kind of buzzword or fancy sounding acronym, described that as “anti-access and area denial” aka A2/AD, and proceeded to use it as a justification for more money spending on completely unrealistic plans (see here for a good example). But that was not all, NATO commanders openly stated that they would “send” all sorts of “signals” to “deter” Russia. Again. And, so they did. They sent comparatively tiny forces to their 3B+PU (that is 3 Balts plus Poland and the Ukraine) protectorates where they played at all sorts of seriously sounding wargames.
Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, but NATO analysts apparently don’t know that. But what had to happen did happen: Russia has now announced that she will create a full Motor-Rife Division inside the Kaliningrad enclave. And this division won’t be “sending” any “messages” to 3B+PU, NATO or anybody else. But they will train for real war, the kind of war which Russia always waged on her enemies when attacked. Bravo NATO! Now you are going to have to deal with a much more dangerous force than before, well done!
As for the Poles, they are now claiming that the entire “Fort Trump” plan, of which they were so proud of, was just a concept. Why? Because these losers are now terrified that the Biden team will remember how they backed Trump during the past four years (as did the rest of the 3B+PUs). This really is worth repeating: unlike those countries which heroically resisted the AngloZionist Empire (Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc), or those who at least did not volunteer to be occupied (Japan, Korea, Germany), the 3B+PU are the only countries actually willing to pay (while being mostly broke!) for the US military to occupy them. Just from that perspective any Russian will immediately conclude that irrespective of their numbers on paper, these country’s actual combat potential is close to zero (the Russians remember very well that all the many units composed of volunteers from many European countries occupied by Germany and who were fighting on the side of Germany during WWII were only good at massacring and terrorizing civilians, but when faced with the regular Red Army they *always* ran like hell).
Finally, if you think of NATO as a structure, then the US military is both its foundation and its cornerstone. With the US entering the worst crisis of its (admittedly short) history, it is completely unable to perform even its normal tasks, nevermind fighting the most powerful military force on the planet.
If the EU leaders had any kind of awareness of these realities, they could immediately embark on a series of steps to stop this insanity. Amongst these could be such “unthinkable” steps as:
- Declaring that Russia and/or Putin are not always responsible for all the evil and problems in the universe.
- Immediately being to take small, but steady, confidence building measures, including resuming normal contacts between western and Russian militaries.
- Resuming economic collaboration with Russia, not because anybody has to like or approve of Putin, but simply to give the best possible conditions to the European industries.
- Stop parroting the idiocies à la Skripal/Navalnyi cooked up about Russia by the Anglos and tell them that they can fight their own (useless) propaganda wars if they like them so much.
- Getting together with the Russians and any mentally sane central European leaders to discuss what to do together to save the Ukraine from its current implosion (which will very negatively affect the EU, much more so than Russia).
- Define a list of policy issues in which Russia and the EU could work together, stuff like immigration, crime, terrorism, Takifirism, space, health crises, etc.
These are just a few, basic, suggestions. A real list could be several pages long and be much wider than the few options I listed. None of them require anything painful or crucial from Europe, just good old common sense.
But no, not only are EU leaders not making even small steps to return to sanity, they still think they can bully and threaten Russia into some kind of compliance. I wish somebody told them something as simple as “Russia ain’t Poland”, really.
At the core of it all, there is a cultural difference: Europeans (and nevermind their US bosses!) are not really afraid of war. That is why they are not really prepared for it at all. The Russians are very, very afraid of war, because they know and remember it. This is why the West is all threats and no action, while Russia is all actions and no threats. From the Russian point of view, the best way to avoid war is to really, really prepare for it. One could argue that 1000 years of Russian history were a never ending lesson in preparation for war, especially since most wars fought by Russia were existential.
As my friend Andrei Martyanov recently mentioned in his blog, “Russians also have a saying: once every century Europeans gather their forces and go to Russia to get the shit beaten out of them”. He is right. But last time around Russia lost 30+ millions of people in truly horrible battles. She also lost most of her economy. Then, in the 1990s, Russia almost completely disappeared as a country. As a result, there is this notion of “never again – enough is enough!” underlying most Russian actions today.
The US and Europe can only ignore this at the greatest possible risk for their own survival. Take it from Putin himself, who recently declared “as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state I must ask myself: Why would we want a world without Russia?”
Putin: “as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state I must ask myself: Why would we want a world without Russia?” Only NATOtards didn’t get the message from these very simple words. If West attacks to destroy Russia. Russia will destroy hole planet, that is not worthy existence without Russia anyways.
A Russian patriot … ???
Remind me …
What innovative Russian products are World class?
Hypersonic missiles … ? Like your dick? lol
Rocket engines, airplanes… cross my mind 1st. In “missile” tech US is completely lagging behind Russia (not only in hyper-sonic). Your anti-ship missile is still SUB-SONIC while even USSR was using SUPER-SONIC anti-ship missiles long time ago. Russian ship to ship, anti-ship hypersonic Zircon is at least TEN TIMES FASTER than US sub sonic Harpoon.
“War … what is it good for ?
Absolutely nothing”
MAD … is for real
Where are you going with this?
We share a planet ya f/kn dildo … hello?
ROFL! – All Russian technologies are outdated! Russians are good for nothing! – Russia has Zircon, Avangard, Bulava, Kalibr… – Hey stop, we share the same plant!
Fluffy idiots! Do you really think USA will save you? ROFL! Your destiny is to die in hopeless try of Washington elites to deteriorate Russia. ROFL. How pathetically stupid you are.
He is an AmeriCUNT
He is a paid troll. :)
Russia will disappear … demographics rule …. your expansion days are over
You’re reduced to being the ‘classless clown’ / sh Xt disturber … with cyber thrives and novichok
“Not with a bang but a whimper“ …. comes to mind
id rather be a classless clown than a be a second or third class citizen, beholden to an un elected cabal of global billionaires!! I read 1984 thanks!
Your so cute with your novichok fairy tales!! Watch out santa will bring you a lump of coal because your lying alot!
Then greta and her eco nazi gang will come for you boy!!!

YOUR own cabal of unelected billionaires … the slugs surrounding Putin? Referred to as oligarchs? lol
THEY have your back … eh?

I was talking about CIVILIAN “rocket engines, airplanes, choppers” not military one. Even Musk has admitted in public that (US imported ) Russian RD-160 rocket engines were example of “EXCELLENT engineering skills” and “Space-X” is competition to Russian’s in space race so he has no reason to lie. “MAD”?! Only nuke Super Power today is RUSSIA, churning all the time new types of missiles and having 95% new or totally upgraded strategic missiles. While almost all US strategic missiles are 40+ years old with the “newest” naval Trident 2 that is “only” 30+ years old !
“next”!
Rocket engines … I agree
Elon Musk “agrees” you are of no importance.
Laughable … Russians have nothing to offer to the USA …. except the rest of their Jews
Unlike any other country Russia has to offer to the U.S. a road to Hell. But AmeriCUNT’s are already losers as it is and are nuking themselves with civil war preparations. As Napoleon used to say: “When enemy is destroying himself , do not interfere !” We have popcorn and we are ready for fun….
Ah yes your bretheren sure.do a good job of sharing the holy.land with the native palestinians!!!
Your a fucken twat!
There are no natives … only Arabs who went to war and lost and won’t be welcomed back for a 3rd or 4th or 5th try … eh?

Jews are Russia’s mortal enemies historically.
Oh really?
WHEN DID THE JEWS ATTACK RUSSIA?
Historically? lol
Tell us Vox … I’m waiting
Through Bolshevism, Communism and lately Zionism. Just killed 15 Russians recently by downing the IL-20. I can go on, but you evil Jew have been exposed.
Wow … thanks for the insight
There is more to life than “innovative products”.
Truthful …. unlike your ‘brave’ comrades
What innovative product did the Jews come up with, aside from stolen technology from the US? US military technology has been superseded by Russia and China. Neither the US nor Israel have fought any major wars recently, if they do they will do poorly.
Russians are adept are stealing … the f/kn slugs are cyber warriors … eh?
Thsts a lot of salty tears Trollstoy… How about rockets, rocket engines, state of the art weapons systems, radars, ships, meds, industrial equipment, jets and helos both civ and military, nuclear reactors the most advanced on the planet… As Im typing this Russian scientists are helping to build the worlds biggest fusion reactor the ITER in southern France based on the Russian TOKAMAK design, a prototype for future commercial fusion reactors. Only to name a few things…
You made his point, most of Russia brings to this world is weaponry and warmongering
You spelled the U.S. wrong tho…
Russia brings peace and stability and hope.
I prefer the Internet, my computer and phone instead.
What has to do one with the other…?
He said he prefers to be slave.
?
One is zombie Soviet propaganda and the other is reality.
Indeed Russia is reality. Neo-trotskyites Soviets moved and took over the west.
ROFL! Hey bacon, did you ever imagined how it will be like when you will have no income and no Internet, no computer, because of bill for electricity and no phone? The future is now and you are just another outsider from billions like you! ROFL! At least you would be able to boil your phone and make some soup…
Did Lenin’s head start to talk?
Come on bacon. We both know that your planing horizon is 1-2 years. Do you understand what is happening now? Can you review your plan because of current changes? I guess you can’t. Can you?
Nobody can, we just keep walking. Did our grand parents thought of ww2 and communism? I don’t think so. Also I don’t have a family but I did more things than I had on my short todo list. So I’m not a list checker anymore.
So what is the reason you live for? If you don’t have plans, this means that you like an animal spending your life for day by day harvest for water, food and pleasure.
Yes sir :)
This downgrades you capabilities to survive in upcoming reset.
I follow the model of life of our god and saviour, Jesus Christ :)
You don’t because you lie. Sorry.
No need to sorry. I’m joking, not lying.
spoken like a true internet loser.
Congrats!
Better an Internet loser than a RL loser. Congrats. You played yourself.
not really, i have a real job, a house ,2 cars and a downhill mountain bike and 3 cats.
Your job is to harass people on the internet, its pathetic, i build infrastructure, what do you ? You play thought police online.
Should have stayed in your dockyard, instead a pursuing a useless arts degree.
LATER NERD!!!
That’s what your cats told you?
Right so its the Russians who have hundreds of military bases all over the world and have been at war since 1945 and destroyed half the middle East east and brought war to Europe such as the FRY,give your head a shake.
ROFL! He can’t. Because he is permanently giving his head to his American masters.
Those bases are meant to control the trade, Russia doesn’t trade too much so it doesn’t need international bases. Nobody knows how the Ruble looks like.
The only trade they are controling is the drug trade and the organ harvesting trade.
And your mom.
bacon gypsy CIA propaganda from Bucharest
Indeed not like vegan Russia which is a banana republic without bananas.
and you bring lame ass jokes and stereotypes.
Russia is self sufficient, enough said. It dont have to be pretty, it needs to be cheap and it needs to work.
You know who else is self suficient? Any banana republic is self suficient and Russian exports are 90% natural resources, not finite goods like the civilised economies.
I have news for you dumbass. We in north america dont manufacture much anymore, we also mostly export our primary ressources, just like russia.
We sold out to globalists who moved all our manufacuring to china!
We are the banana republic, just likenyour bosses want!
I have news for you too, boomer. These data are very public, only one google search away. USA exports services alone, more than total Russian exports. Only 10% of USA exports are natural resources.
Thanks for the list …
Chernobyl
Wrong country Trollstoy… Thats Ukraine.
Russia …. it’s your technology … OWN IT!
According to the UN atomic energy agency Chernobyl was caused by Human operating error… Ukraine… On the other hand Three Mile Iskand and Fukushima (GE design) was caused by serious design flaws. Better luck next time Trollstoy ?
The BBC TV event … it was poor engineering … saving money on no ‘fail safe’
We’re talking about a meltdown in Russia’s technology …. nice Deflection
3 Mile Island was stopped short of catastrophic failure … unlike Chernobyl
So you take the BBC aka British BS Corp over the official report of the UN Atomic Energy Agency…? Ok clown…? It was a catastrophic failure but was white washed, same as Fukushima and the incident in the 50s that contaminated most of Orange county in California. If you ever wondered why cancer charts are off the scale skyrocketing in the U.S. Thats the reason… Your superiors wont be happy about you lol, you are counterproductive ?
Orange County California?

now u r Putin’s janitor? LOL
What I’ve read and researched – Chernobyl was no accident. Several Soviet nuclear officers have taken a look back at the documents and have decided and shown, that the set up was partially an inside job. Russia was starting to become a leader in Nuclear energy back then – sort of how they are in the Gaz industry – and they needed to be clipped { like Nordie II } . They just don’t blow up unexpectedly like that one did. Even Fukushima has a lot of questions – like Reactor #2 blowing up – when the energy rods had been taken out for a maintenance problem etc. Spacibo
You know what poor engineering is? Storing the spent fuel rods on the top of the reactors like was the case in GE designed Fukushima.
Or the new Queen Elizabeth class carriers they went back right into the drydock for 6months after tgezy realized its not watertight…lolz. It cant stay afloat on the sea for too long ? I can carry on…

An exceptionally well written article. The best I ever read on SF. Dunno who wrote it but I would love to read more from him. Pure Veritas, spot on. Kudos.
“Saker” has one of the best analytical minds i have seen. He was military analytic in some western military (i think Switzerland but not entirely sure) and also he is Russian (borne in Russia and Russian spirit) – so he has a very good survey of the things he wrote in this article.. He wrote numerous articles on the topic of stand of of Russia and the west since 2013. Most of them can be read on his website:
https://thesaker.is/
Thank You ? I will have to read more about him and his work.
Its a very good site.
how could you have missed him, after all, he writes something on SF every 4 to 6 weeks and all good.
Dunno, I guess I focused too heavily on trolling trolls…
Saker is an oracle of wisdom in a sea of brain dead western sheeple.
It was writen by Andrei Raevsky (aka “The Saker”). He has been writing on his own website for years (since 2007?). His work has been largley labeled “disinformation” by the Zionist dominated Western media… meaning his stuff is pretty good.

Here’s a interview with Sheikh Imran Hosein:

Thank You?
I’ve been following vineyard of the saker for about 4 years, superb analyst, you’ll be glad you found him.

good analyst, eccentric anti USSR in Russia during 1980’s activist who now aligns w Putin and the philosopher Ilyin–he describes himself as a monarchist
Things have changed now and the Americans will find themselves with the Russians, even underground. The enemy is now one, common and powerful, China.
Russia gave up its Internet, Huawei takes over their infrastructure. Who controlls 5G controlls almost everything. Basically they will know when a Russian politician or agent flushes the toilet.
Huawei owns about 30% of all archived 5G patents (many of which are state-of-the-art technology) and there is not a single US-based supplier elsewhere that can sell / supply a different solution / proposal at 5G speeds. Where do you think the Chinese are stealing technology from, eh?
Ten years ago, Huawei stole the Cisco source code for its own top-of-the-line routers. Where is Cisco now? They can no longer compete with the big boys in telecommunications.
The american nsa has known about our toilet flushing patterns for decades, no 5g required.
Wtf you doing pushing bannon’s meme on us?
The ennemy is not china, its the global financial class. The same group that set up ww1 and ww2.
Grown ups are trying to have a real discussion here, move along chump!
That’s the point, every country should have its own 5G but only China and some in the West(lagging behind) afford it. Russia is sold to China instead making their own. They are doomed. And btw now China is part of the global financial class.
Absolutely correct.
The path forward in the aftermath of WWII is the Union of the opposites. Out of Union of left and right, dark and light, night and day, comes new life. Perfection though combination.
Russia and EU must make the peace, so that the ultimate zero sum game to be played out in east Asia has the enormous resources such a coalition can bring to the game.
This merger is not a merger of east and west, not a victory for the “west”, for Russia, for all its mysteries, is profoundly “western” when compared to China.
Putin, become Peter. EU, don’t make war on Russia. Make an alliance for the benefit of both. As Mao said “the east is red”. The new polarity is already here. Recognize it and reshuffle your deck. You have great cards. You need wisdom.
Usa sold out to china,including states,the enemy’s within usa,like Greece sold out to germany cheep
china meantime plenty real deal cash,where as nations without their own sovereign currency are simply too dumb to be considered seriously,unlike the more powerfull heterosexual turkish admins:
Saker should clarify that Russian change of posture on its western borders as a result of the NATO war against Serbian people doesn’t mean that Russia was in any way siding with the Serbs. Quite contrary. For all intents and purposes Russia was siding with the West, not only by arming Croats (breaking UN sanctions) but also politically through the UN and other international organizations, issuing threats to Serbs on behalf of the NATO “partners” etc. Saker often brings up the same point in order to incorrectly infer that that Russia was allied with Serbs. It certainly was not and unfortunately, the Putin’s years did not bring any change as V. Putin along with “friend and partner” B. Clinton plotted ouster of the Serbian president Milosevic already in the year 2000. In 2006, many years after the war Russia was the most important instrument, politically and financially, in the Western project of breaking up the last viable Serbian state i.e. Serbia and Montenegro. At that time Putin’s “friend and partner” was G.W Bush. The many years of Russian backstabbing of its traditional friends and allies, unceasing attempts to join the western alliance and EU and sheer servility brought Russia in the current position. It would not be hard at all to imagine how different the strategic position of Russia vis-a-vis NATO it would be today only if it had vision to defended itself in the Balkans instead of ganging up with the pack of hyenas against supposedly brotherly 7 million strong Serbian nation and people. I wonder when will Saker address this issues as he pretends to be an objective “political analyst”?. http://www.cuba.cu/gobierno/documentos/2001/ing/e261001i.html https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.danas.rs%2Fpolitika%2Fuklanjanje-milosevica-podrzao-i-vladimir-putin%2F https://indianpunchline.com/an-sco-scuffle-with-us-in-central-asia/ https://sputniknews.com/russia/201904041073835574-russia-nato-membership/

Cechas how come you are mostly active on Mondays, is discout day at the Internet Caffee in your village?
I guess thats why most Serbs look at Russia as their closest ally and brother nation. Thats why Russia has rebuilt their armed forces. And thats why they are among their closest trade partners. I guess thats why Russian paratroopers risked their life on that airfield in Kosovo in 1999 even facing threats from British SAS to ignite WWIII. Your comment is a Prime example of Hasbarat tactics of twisting facts and presenting half Truths. Better luck next time Shlomo ??

You can keep your soros/cia links, fake news thanks Trollstoy.
He is right.
In a parallel Universe maybe…
I know, I know, it’s very, very hard to deal with inconvenient truths. I’m dealing with it too, namely with the Russia’s betrayal (of us who stupidly loved her) for over 30 years now. I wonder why all the insignificant tribes (intentionally, I don’t call them peoples or nations) that lived inside the territories of former Yugoslavia and who were liberated by Serbs (at the cost of half of the Serbian population in WW1), and who have always been pro-German, so, how it was that they finally, for the first time in history created their independent states while the only pro-Russian nation, the Serbs, utterly lost. So I figured it was because the Russians are worthless traitors, while the Germans always stick with their allies (even if they are as bloody monsters as the Croatians are). Where is the Slavic and orthodox solidarity? Russians only call upon it when their insatiable thirst for joining Germany goes wrong. Just to inform everyone: Russia disqualified itself from the Balkans. Good bye losers. Serbian- Russian relation at the moment is one of love-hate. Thankfully, the love is receding under the burden of the recent history as it should. With destroying Serbia and Montenegro the Russians (Putin) probably thought how hi will totally isolate us not knowing that even then we always have an opening towards Europe, which he unreasonably hoped to achieve for himself by once again stabbing the Serbian heart. It didn’t work my former friend. We, the Serbs are inexorably moving away from you, the fake brothers, we can’t afford another historical blunder by counting on Russia. After all we belong to Europe to which Russia so badly aspires for centuries with no results.
Ok Shlomo… Now hurry up dont let your matzo ball soup get cold…
Russia is Europe, contrary to you…
Ne vredi ovde pricati ljudima, jedini su zaljubljeni u zapad, drugi u istok, a ne zna se ko nas je vise karao, da li ruje u 19-om veku kada su stvarali veliku bugarski, ili zapad u 20-om kada je pocinio nekoliko genocida nad nama…
perhaps the Chinese will save you? a chuda awaits u in Beijing
Posting always the same bullshit you troll bit*h !
Yes Russia even under that drunken prick Yeltsin called the Nato bluff at that airport,then Yeltsin had his people back down,i believe the military were furious at the time.
True but in return Russia became a part of KFOR, to avoid war.
Russia bluffed at that airport since they held it just few days. They got 4.5 $Billion loan in exchange.
bacon nation does not teach symbolic/doxastic logic—pigs confuse correlation w causation
Russia gave up Pristina for 4.5 $Billion IMF loan which was aproved only 4 weeks after the incident.
No connection. U.S. sold itself to China….
Ukraine to the IMF…
Yeah, no connection at all, only 4 weeks distance..
Coincidence do happen sometimes. But like i said Russia owes to nobody, contrary to the U.S. and Ukraine whom are paid and bought.
There is nothing else that can justify why did they run from Pristina airport. Or, perhaps, they were really scared if NATO. Or both.
Not scared of NATO, scared of nuclear war and WWIII. The head of NATO at the time was general Wesley Clark, he tried to use the SAS against Russia as cannonfodder, but the SAS commander refused to follow order and deescalated with the Russians. UK and Russia maintained sanity as usual U.S. tried to go full retard as usual.
Yeah, the English col. was that singer with a lady voice, James Blunt.
Indeed ?
Really?
I seen james in a concert with the wife once, he is a wonderful artist. Are you serious or bullshitting as usual?
Jyst google it, boomer.
In return they set up cechkpoints and played a major role ending the war especially paramilitary terror groups.
Checkpoints where? And which war did they stop after Serbia surender?
The ethnic clensing one.
Not the inteegalactic one?
Not that time.
Not that one.
Both correct.
Seriously, which war did Russia stop in Yugoslavia?
Ever heard of Hashim Thaçi who is now in The Hague facing charges of Crime against Humanity, terrorism, Human trafficking, organ trafficking…?
Yes.
Thats your answer. Without Russia his terrorists would still be running around in the region.
How so?
They put an end to it.
How?
Checkpoints, dearming.
In Kosovo, after 99, Russian checkpoints?
Till 2003, when the region normalized, more or less.
Seriously I didn’t know about it, but thanks. Any link?
https://www.nato.int/docu/update/2003/07-july/e0702a.htm
Wow. Thanks man! I admit this time I was totally disinformed. Respekt!
You are welcome ?
Yugoslavia was an important pawn of the West against USSR. Since they didn’t need it anymore they broke it like a rotten nut. Russia didn’t forget their role either.
What is NATO today? First, a coalition of small countries trying to find the courage to bark at the Russian bear the way dozens of chihuahuas would bark at a big brown bear.
That’s pretty much how I see it. A bunch of euro-puppets on a leash from Uncle Shame.
They are like the Foreign legions Hitler had from every occupied Country,same sort of collaborator filth.
Russian/Soviet system has inherent weaknesses and inferiority vis a vis the west. The Russians are ruled by Jews who are the internal 5th column. The German DW network has produced an excellent documentary on how the west defeated the USSR in Afghanistan and destroyed Russia.

u r durak–USSR defeated muhjadin; gory took a political decision to withdraw, even admitted by anglo historians…your CIA comic book propaganda may be believed at Fox News
Frankly, NATO is more geared towards the coming conflict with China.
NATO is a paper tiger hampered by issues of multi nationality, different weapon systems, low level of armaments and munitions, always relying on air power to win any possible war, with divergent needs and interests. Although on paper they present good numbers, the weakness remains in concentrating their forces in time to make a difference. Also their sensitivity to heavy losses in lives and equipment might be a major consideration for their strategic approach. They do not posses great strategic depth…..if the 1st Guards tank army advances 30-50 kms a day, obliterating everything on its path, Germany and Central Europe will be history, in less than a month.
Some of the Nato Countries are like the little creeps who hung about with the school bully,then one day the Bully gets his arse kicked and the creeps say,to hell with this shit i am out off here.
They might have numbers of equipment, but it’s all very unreliable from what I’ve heard. I think if they declared war, Russia would be waiting and waiting wondering what the hell is going on haha.
The closest I can compare them with is with Persian forces fighting at Issus and Arbella
Persia did not have a large army, it relied on recruits from empire provinces, altogether their numbers were large and presented a force to reckon with. During a pitched battle at the sign of things not going well, they broke ranks and ran away because of a lack of cohesion and common training guidelines.
Sorry but NATO is not match for Russian armed forces….in case of war all East European countries ….will change their “suits”…because they only are members of the US servant club ( NATO&EU) just because west countries receive inmigrants for cheap labour and social benefits beside are permissive with Mafia&Gansters of that countries ( included Georgians, Romanians, Kosovans)…it is the same as if I open my house and give free beer and food to everyone….surely all of them will be my friends and I will have hundreds at the door!…but going to a war vs Russia and seeing what could happen with your country ( people dying, huge destruction, food shortage) is another matter!….Germany for example will not turn again its country in another battlefield to preserve Anglosaxon interests in Europe like they did during Cold war..neither the politicians nor population will risk…but meanwhile USA needs NATO to consolidate its political and economic dominance in Europe under the pretext of Russian expansionism…
NATO defeated the USSR and Russia is a weak pale shadow now.
too much LSD in your burrito Mario
No! USSR fell by itself…there were rich republics( petrol/gas) which had to feed poor republics beside East European countries…
The USSR COLLAPSED UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT …
Inefficient … bloated … existing on fumes for decades
REPRESSION was its only means of existence … the minute that was loosened … poof
I completely agree with the entire article.
Unfortunately we’re in a paradigm shift in a new framework of Jew world order insanity using the scamdemic for Hegelian machinations.
You can take your pick of conspiracy theories as to what the end goal is, beyond strengthening the Jew’s and their partners in crime strangulation of their vassal states. But the process is very far advanced and going from bad to worse.
They are implementing a new form of fascism never seen before that is enabled by technology advances. And the most concerning part of it is the level of self destructive participation by the almost the entire planet. Including China and Russia.
In a me too race to the bottom being won by NATO to see who can do the most damage to their economies, societies and national interest.
The non zioblock needs to disengage from the madness. So that at least part of the planet moves forward while the vermin Jew parasites destroy their hosts in an orgy of lunacy trying to implement their great reset master plan.
Oh the mistake you have made, my dear friend Richard. Wait for bunch of stupid Eastern Europe troll which for 2 eurocents for post will tell you how good, free and prosperous real life in USA is. ROFL

Dylan Roof ?
Your fate will be the same … ya f/kn loon
There are reports and evidence that death squads are working hit lists here as part of the Jew world order color revolution regime change project. I’m packing every day. If it goes kinetic I’ll deal with it. I keep a low profile other than my work here. So I’m probably not a death squad high value/priority target at this time.
Good strategy, at my point.
Is it that bad in the motherland Harry?
Potato peels again … eh?
there is at most 3 or 4 countries in nato that willingly would sign up for a war against russia and even so, the 3 minions in the baltic would really, if push comes to shove, hesitate to the point of no can do. poland and uk are eventually the only countries prepared to shed blood for and on behalf of the morons in washington dc and, indirectly, the jews in palestine. even Norway, seriously dumb country, would think more than twice before joining the morons. then you have sweden whose secretary of defense is waiting for the jack pot to come calling after having licked the boots of the morons in washington dc and the sandals of the jews in tel aviv, might just try to superficially join some adventure against russia, for appearance sake -no more.
WTF … are you puking out ya f/kn jerk
Who and Why would anyone attack Russia … hello?
You are all full of shit.
America devastated Fallujah and conquered it.
Russia practically preserved Idlib for its Islamist Turkish allies.
America didn’t abandon its allies in Vietnam nor South America until the last moment.
Russia delivered its de jure Christian ally Armenia to the Islamist Turkish terrorists on a silver platter.
Russia COLLABORATES with the Jews of Israel to enable the Israelis to bomb and kill Russian allies the Syrians and the Iranians in Syria with impunity.
Russian weapons DO NOT WORK against NATO arms. Case(s) in point: Armenia, Syria, Iraq, etc.
Russians have completely discredited themselves in the eyes of the world. No-one, including the Chinese and the Indians, will buy Russian arms nor seek any alliances nor even business partnerships with Russia which is ruled by Zionist crypto-Jews: http://aanirfan.blogspot.com/2018/02/trump-putin-kosher-nostra.html?m=1
If anyone wants that, they’ll go for the real deal which is the United States of America.
Filthy Russians,
By destroying Armenia you have destroyed yourselves.
Hi Shlomo… How is the weather in Tel Aviv hasbarat…?
What’s this obsession with the weather? Don’t you have a roof over your head?
What a comeback…
your pitiful racism reflects your inferiority and envy…apparently u r inferior to Jews, so u envy them…tiresome
Bureaucrats will always seek more power and NATO etc wants more power.. Since the people are not stopping them, all they can think of is how to get more power and moe money.. This is not just in war, the plandemic is also a great example and now we know all people are similar.. They all seek greater power.. Its like the clerk wanting more power to rule over the engineers.. Even though the clerk is a high school drop out but making the engineer squirm with paper work is how they show their power..
Wr are also sending back a new message to Russia. This message is that Russia lacks empathy! The Russians are only thinking egoistic for themselves that they can beat all Americans. Russia cannot sit as a lonesome wolf on half of the worlds gold and gas resources for themselves, as we all must share what we have to the International usury community for global peace and green freedom. Fifty million Americans are now living in tents on food stamps with only 1 bowl of noodle soup per day without a single gold dime because of Putin. If Putin gave all Americans on food stamps 1 oz gold from Russia’s resources, we would have world peace for a long time and respect Russia! Its purely up to YOU to be respected!
Sarcasm detected ?
lol :)))
bad satire—obviously it is amerikans that cannot feel—Russia provides humanitarian aid, even to NATO nations—while rich amerika w the greatest GDP cannot feed its own people
Why?
Because you’re a Jew, Putin.
Which part of Armenia did you sell to the Turks today?
Don’t sermon us about the greatness of Russia when you have been genociding Christian Greeks and Armenians with your Turkish friends for over a century now.
Thought the President of Armenia cosies upto $oro$, telling Russia where to go. Then expected Russia to drop everything, support them, when things were not going there way?

You just a globalist prostitute in my eyes.
AM, saw an excellent comment in the dm now, ALL mps etc should be BANNED by ALL pubs & ALL detrimentally affected shops etc.
Wouldn’t that be marvellous. Welsh shamed us, as one of the publicans banned the local MP from his pub. Did make me smile, with wishes that it would carry on. Just flicked through the DM, but, it was so boring and had to escape.
Did notice that the SAGE advisers, who are heavily linked to the vaccine industry, are also classed as the highest paid civil servants. Well, Government Funded workers. Conflict of interest, I would have thought, if funded by the pharmaceutical industry and Gates?
As usual it is the Serbs who act as the trip wire for the Russians.
Good article. Only thing can stop Russki’s coming west is bio weapons. Re Biden, Dec. 14 he gets electoral votes, but on Dec. 18 the DNI report on foreign interference (Chinese military intelligence) will take out the entire democrat and much of the Repub party, as well. Trump will win this, so Poland’s fine. And Hungary. Only Trump can stop WW3 now. Globalists want to destroy both U.S. and Russia.
By the way where are the Skripal’s?
