The biggest news of today’s cycle is the wild admission by the Pentagon, U.S. media, etc., that the U.S. has in fact employed a “strategy” of outright lying and making up fake intelligence to ‘combat Russia’.
Astounding quote from article: “President Joe Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions.”
They also admitted that most of the intelligence surrounding the conflict, such as the infamous ‘China is providing Russia with equipment’ was complete ‘malarky’, as the demented zombie-in-chief would say. How any reasonable and self-respecting country or people could trust the U.S.’s ongoing claims from this point on are beyond me. How could you possibly take in this announcement, and yet still believe the U.S. side of the story about the ‘Bucha massacre’ amongst other things?
This amazing feat of neuro-linguistic-programming must be seen to be believed: https://youtu.be/BXLKUCLhZos
The reporters here celebrate the ‘novelty’ of this method of utilizing intelligence (as if the amazing technique of ‘lying’ has only just been discovered by them). They dance around the real description of the concept as basically being “lying”, by continually describing it in fancy ways to frill it up and legitimize the “technique” as something other than what it is on its bare-faced surface: outright lies and propaganda meant to control the narrative of the conflict favorably.
And by the way, the reporter in the video is this guy:
And was actually fired by the LA Times for how deeply in bed he was with the CIA
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/la-times-disowns-reporter_b_5770388
After these admissions how can ANYTHING from the U.S. be believed? Russian “casualties” of 30,000+? Bucha massacre? Chemical weapons usage? Russia’s “failed objectives” and “failing campaign”? These are all individual claims that fall under the purview of this ‘new’ and ‘amazing’ technique called complete b.s. from the CIA.
Obviously this has been U.S.’s chief tactic for decades. But the full admission brings up a starker reality. That behind the curtains, the CIA has in recent times shifted to conducting its Ops “in the open”, but presenting them in a way that makes them seem acceptable. For instance we know during the last election, a remarkable series of articles came out in the MSM detailing the entire deep-state covert ops, how various apparatuses of the democratic party came together with corporate assets, Facebook, NGOs, etc., to take control of the 2020 election. They even fully admit to it being a secretive “shadow campaign”, but rebranded as a ‘good cause’.
https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
In previous times this would have been an unprecedented scandal but now, rebranded and ‘in the open’, it’s given the cachet of legitimacy. The reason for the method shift is obvious: in today’s integrated online/social media environment, it’s pretty much impossible for the western intel agencies to operate in pure secrecy anymore. That era is over with. And so they’ve shifted to a strategy of conducting their Ops in full view but utilizing their media arm to repackage them to look justified in a certain light.
It’s akin to this – Hannity proudly and openly wearing a CIA pin (the Mockingbird is no longer caged, as you can see, it can fly freely and proudly in the open now) while decrying that, “Vladimir Putin has forfeited his right to live.”
Why does @seanhannity wear a CIA flag pin every night? https://t.co/iUW4hjwGJ1 pic.twitter.com/psPm4V1Dii

Onto other things:
The U.S. has admitted to training Ukrainian saboteur groups to operate the new Switchblade kamikaze drones. Reportedly they are being trained on U.S. soil, in secret. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3260827-u-s-training-small-number-of-ukrainian-troops-on-switchblade-drones/amp/
“The “very small number” of Ukrainian soldiers, who have been in the U.S. since last fall for military training, were taught to use the drone with the expectation that they would soon return to their country to train others on the equipment, press secretary John Kirby told reporters.
“We took the opportunity — having them still in the country — to give them a couple of days’ worth of training on the Switchblade so that they can go back — and they will be going back soon, back home — to train others in the Ukrainian military,” Kirby said.”
More confirmation of how deeply invested and entrenched the U.S. is in this war. But no different than the billions spent on training Syrian rebels and ‘moderate terrorists’ to fight against Russians and Assad in Syria.
The U.S. has even reactivated the Lend Lease program for the first time since WW2 to massively arm Ukraine: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/06/senate-unanimously-approves-lend-lease-00023668
And also:
“U.S. For 1st Time Publicly Announces Transfer Of Intelligence To Ukraine’s Armed Forces For Donbas Operations”
Here’s today’s print-up from the Pentagon itself. I can’t stress enough how massive the scale of this operation by the west to fund/supply Ukraine is. It dwarfs anything in history. When you consider that less than ~2000 Stingers were provided to the Taliban in the 80’s war, and that was considered an unprecedented scale operation at the time, then look at the above list and realize we’re only at the very earliest stages of what the West will be supplying to Ukraine (tanks, jets, etc likely all incoming eventually). There are some unconfirmed reports that even British Harpoons are already delivered and placed in Odessa. This is orders of magnitude more powerful/dangerous than the ‘Sea Skuas’ they were talking about, but this rumor may be fake propaganda from the Ukrop side.
More and more each day the scale of this operation is revealed and how deeply invested the west is, and it is breathtaking. New videos appear daily of large groups of foreign fighters, Georgian, etc., being heavily equipped and sent into the Ukraine.
And this list above is only from the U.S., there is much more from the other western ‘allies’ as well. Planes from North Macedonia landed in Reznow airfield in Poland today, likely bringing goodies as every other European country has. And add that to the billions already allotted recently in general aid and the billions spent on achieving Euromaidan, as admitted by Nuland when she said over $5 billion had been spent by the U.S.
The entire project has been in development for a very long time and it is the culmination of the western empire’s attempts to destroy Russia. Just listen here how Soros himself explains his involvement in the events of Ukraine dating back to the late 80’s and early 90’s. And how Adam Schiff admits that “the U.S. is fighting Russia over there so it doesn’t have to do it over here.”

On frontline news: As the big showdown in Donbass looms, a lot of forces are pouring in on both sides. Russia has shifted strategies and is now striking railway stations and reinforcement hubs / corridors, as many have hoped it would do. Overnight there were several reports of important railway hubs being hit by missiles. One near Zhytomir, which is possibly the single most important reinforcement hub to the frontlines in all of western Ukraine. Reinforcements being sent to frontlines were reportedly destroyed in the strike, though there’s no visual confirmation. And another in Kharkov region – just south, in Lozovaya – which evoked a video message plea from the Kharkov mayor who said railways were hit, oil has run out, but pleaded for people not to flee (presumably because the militants who control him need citizens to use as hostages / human shields just like in Mariupol).
“#KHARKOV Region—#Lozovaya—#Russia|n forces conduct precision missile strikes at a major supply/logistics centre of #Ukraine|ian forces in Lozovaya, which boast a key intersection of rail tracks enabling the supply and reinforcement of the #Donbass grouping of #UA military.”
As can be seen on this map, the Lozovaya junction is a critical resupply / reinforcement route for the Ukrop Donbass cauldron and specifically their stronghold of Kramatorsk, which had been the central headquarters of the entire JFO for some time. And other reports said a railway bridge was hit leading to that junction as well.
Just north of there, Russia continues to progress around Izyum. Our forces are now fighting at Sulihyvka/Suligovka on the way to Dovhen’ke in the direction towards Slavyansk.
Not only does this photo below show the progress downward from Izyum, but you can start seeing how this salient is now beginning to create the opening pincer that will enclose the ‘Great Cauldron’.
The battle for Kam’yanka, directly south of Izyum was quite destructive for the UAF, they suffered many losses and there are fields littered with their dead, as well as many trophies taken. https://www.bitchute.com/video/2qjB8t89mK2a/
Reports indicate that UAF forces are now amassing a huge force in the Kramatorsk / Druzhkovka region in preparation for RF’s advances. But they continue putting up stiff resistance along the road towards Slavyansk as well. The highways from Horlivka towards Kramatorsk are said to be filled with UAF troops. This appears to be their single largest agglomeration of the cauldron.
In the south, RF have blockaded Ugledar and Novomikhailovka, and begun storming the latter. Also, Basurin has estimated 3,000 to 3,500 enemy fighters remain in Mariupol. And the map there looks something like this:
With that said, most of the ‘weak’ ones have surrendered and only the most hardened Azov fanatics remain, so there is some possibility that the fighting can still go on for a decently long time. With that said, the more they retreat towards the ports, the more they are running out of residential areas with civilians to use as human shields, which allows allied forces to use increasingly heavy-handed tactics and strikes against them. I reported last time how for the first time heavy duty artillery units like 2S3 and 2S4s were brought in, such as those you can see in the latest Wargonzo video https://youtu.be/YPMVVMaqQSM?t=151
So it’s difficult to guess – the fight could take another two weeks, or it can suddenly collapse in the next day or two if the remaining Azov abruptly surrender. Unfortunately cities take a long time to siege, many of us remember following the events of Aleppo or Sarajevo, and the years it took. Even in the final stages of Aleppo when rebel forces were already collapsing and SAA had the upper hand, it was weeks for every neighborhood, and months to clear districts.
But right now things are advancing according to plan. Large Russian reinforcements have poured into the Kharkov area to head to the Izyum front, and meanwhile Ukrop reinforcements/resupplies are finally being hit in their train stations and railyards by the RuAF, so the stage is being favorably set for our forces.
And for those that continue to doubt that the RF has vastly destroyed the Ukrainian military in terms of armor and capabilities. New videos continue to show the total lack of Ukrainian armor or vehicles. Here is one showing a large Ukrainian force, all on foot, not a vehicle among them – forced to use a civilian truck to evacuate their wounded – whom, by the way, have obvious swastikas on their person.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/zqjIYN3GAWFm/
A force this large should always be supported with mechanized units and some sort of infantry fighting vehicle at the minimum, yet here they are taking lots of casualties in the video, no armor in sight.
And here, we see Ukrainian soldiers forced to ride bicycles to get to where they’re going. https://www.bitchute.com/video/ULjN5yH3IcJn/
A week or so ago, the American mercenary James Vasquez bragged on twitter how him and his squad “commandeered” (read: stole) a Lexus in Kiev so they can get to the frontline, such is their lack of military transport vehicles or APCs.
The U.S. by the way says that Russia has not responded to any calls from the Pentagon since February: https://www.rt.com/news/553500-pentagon-russia-phone-silent/
General Milley keeps calling, and Russia is not answering.
A quick note on the topic of Russian ‘traitors’ and 5th columnists, it’s interesting how many of them are fleeing to Israel specifically.
https://www.rt.com/business/553285-russian-billionaire-prokhorov-israel-citizenship/
Prokhorov was once a Russian presidential candidate and one of Russia’s richest and most powerful oligarchs.
And now the CEO of Yandex https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/tech-news/yandex-ceo-relocates-to-israel-cannot-work-for-a-country-at-war-1.10722163
Lastly, the Ruble is now in the mid 70’s to the USD.
To the utter bewilderment of the West, it just keeps gaining in strength against the dollar.
I’ll leave you with this last video: to those that still question the Russian air power, or say Russia is not utilizing it, or doesn’t have air supremacy, etc. Here’s what a Ukrainian soldier said when asked what he fears most in this war: https://www.bitchute.com/video/xbWbfp7v5nJH/
“Astounding quote from article: “President Joe Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions.””
It could be as you say. I wonder if it could also be that these three disagree with what is being done. It would be normal if there are people who object to such things, after all. It would depend on how independent NBC News is. Good “whistleblowers”, hopefully.
“Reports indicate that UAF forces are now amassing a huge force in the Kramatorsk / Druzhkovka region in preparation for RF’s advances. But they continue putting up stiff resistance along the road towards Slavyansk as well. The highways from Horlivka towards Kramatorsk are said to be filled with UAF troops. This appears to be their single largest agglomeration of the cauldron.”
The Germans used their Stukas and higher-flying bombers effectively. I wonder how the Russian air force is used. It must be difficult for such forces to amass like that with no air force to defend them.
Unfortunately we don’t have a clear picture of what exactly it means that those highways are filled with them, but likely the vast majority are riding around in civilian vehicles which means mass airbombing them is impossible as differentiating them from real civilians would be very difficult. The only way to be sure is letting them get off the highways and consolidating into actual areas of known combat which is where strikes on them are already occurring.
With that said, on another point, when Germany used its Stukas, air defense was in its infancy and basically consisted of mass firing of laughably inaccurate air-burst munition flak cannons with the hopes you might get a wing here or there with a shockwave. Nowadays air defense is extremely advanced and potent, and Ukraine has dense capabilities thanks to an unprecedented arming campaign from the west. Those Stukas wouldn’t have lasted more than a day if shoulder-fired manpads existed back then.
The tactic of strafing on the perimeter of battle fronts or along the contact line is considered semi safe and is done because the planes/helis can do a pass, then quickly u-turn over to friendly territory so that even if they’re shot on the way out, they can eject over friendlies and then picked up and evac’d. But doing a strafing run deep into enemy territory like Kramatorsk is a big no-no.
Of course this is where drones would be ideal, though they are still vulnerable to anti-air of all sorts as well, and in fact Russia’s most advanced current UCAV was shot down today it seems, the Inokhodets / Orion – roughly equivalent to a Bayraktar TB2. But at least it attests that Russia is in fact utilizing UCAV style strike drones, not just target-designators or surveillance drones.
Either way though I’m sure the Kramatorsk region is bristling with air defense and penetrating it would be difficult for anything including drones. Bombers dropping munitions from above AD range is another option but if you’re talking about moving vehicles on a highway, that’s not an effective way to engage them whatsoever.
So, in short it’s a very tough nut to crack. Armchair amateurs would love to shout “oh but the U.S. would use such and such drone and easily take them out”, except that U.S. has never faced an an enemy with modern air defenses, nor manpads ever in its history. And if it did, it would get humiliated. Remember, the U.S.’s beloved obsolete ‘Tomahawk’ – the subsonic, slow piece of junk, can’t even hit moving targets. So a car on a highway is out of the question.
I understand, thank you. It is odd, though, that in other words we are saying that military technology has reduced a lot of the important functions air power had in WWII.
By the way, something very significant is happening in U.S. media. Leftist MSNBC is consistently reporting now that Russia denies the “terrorism” (“barbarism” to the Kremlin) charges by Ukraine and that it says Ukraine committed those acts. It doesn’t matter as much that the anchors/reporters smirk and say it’s outrageous of Russia to say it. People are free to take it any way they want. The “other side” is getting to respond.
Nightvision, were you active in the now defunct Syrian Perspective under a different nickname? I forgot the nick but you remind me very of that person in Syrper. Anyway good job. Thumbs up.
Yes, I was, but I don’t think I’m the one you’re referring to. Because it SOUNDS like you’re referring to the legendary Canthama? And if that’s the case, then I’m quite pleased and shocked you would make that association because in fact he is my chief inspiration for doing these sitreps and how I’ve styled/structured them, the same way he helped Ziad Fadel take over at times and do the sitreps when the war got heavy and Ziad couldn’t keep up the whole workload on his own. Canthama is still active on twitter nowadays https://twitter.com/canthama1 He had amassed tens of thousands of followers but twitter banned him at least 2-3 times so he had to keep restarting his account so now it’s not that big. I wish he’d join us over here but I’m not on twitter so can’t really reach out to him. If anyone is on twitter plz alert him to this post and tell him he was a big inspiration to many during those trying years and we still remember all that he did for the resistance.
” Because it SOUNDS like you’re referring to the legendary Canthama? ”
Many of the ” legendary ” Canthama’s posts were comprised of ” cut and paste ” material he got from other sources. I know this because I actually used to visit many of the same sources. This in its self isn’t a bad thing, however, he tried to come off as he had insider info from Syria or that he was actually doing his own grand strategic analysis, which wasnt the case. For instance, his many predictions of an imminent Syria, Russian prediction have proven very wrong, as anyone with geopolitical insight could have reasonably predicted.

Beware the “I know a guy whose in a position to know” meme. You will not find secret plans discussed on the internet.
They shut the door too, yet secrets have taken a hit with the internet; besides e-mails exposed, the internet exposes a lot in videos, lots of ‘leaks’ go there…
Modern mini nukes have relative radiactive footprint.
Example US B61-12 has yield of 0.5 to 50 kTn. It is spotted in dizens im most NATO EU bases.
While Hiroshima ones was about 15 kTn yield.
B61 is two stages Fision-Fussion type without dumper enough “clean” to live after some weeks.
Ok, you live in the drop zone for a year and if you’re ok after that I’ll move there too.
Smallest thing I know of in Soviet forces was the ZBV3 nuclear artillery shell of 1 megaton that can be used by any of the units Russia is currently operating like the 2S19, 2S3, 2S1 (Msta, Akatsiya, Gvozdika) etc. But supposedly all nuclear artillery was decommissioned by early 2000s, though maybe they have a few left. Any other ‘tactical’ level nuke Russia has is probably much more powerful, 100k range, but I’m not 100% sure without further research.
correction ZBV3 = 1 kiloton, I meant to say.
There are reports circulating that the country currently called Ukraine has begun its third general mobilization, calling up Ukrainians and Nazis who are not normally subject to conscription.
If true, this is an indication that the country currently called Ukraine may be suffering especially high KIA and WIA on the front lines.
Does anyone here know anything about this subject? What are your thoughts? What have you heard?
(P.S. – I’d like to have this conversation with courteous, mutually respectful people. I’m not interested in talking to individuals here who exhibit chutzpah, insolence, and bigoted pride because they are descended from God’s Chosen People.)
Yep and several new recent captures have shed some light on this. I’ve seen interviews with brand new Ukie POWs who’ve stated things like that they were just recruited recently in western Ukraine / Zhytomir region and sent to the front in the east with minimal training. Another guy said he wasn’t taught how to use the American weapons and instead the Ukie instructors told him to go watch youtube videos of how to operate the weapons.
But yes in general I’ve read the same report that said they’ve done a 3rd wave and issued new ultimatums stating that any male of fighting age who fled the country after Feb 24 will now be arrested upon his return, etc.
We know from past visual confirmations that a lot of their ‘reserve’ is in really bad shape. I.e. the troops that were directly guarding Kiev and inside Kiev seemed to be the crack elite troops, but the further west outside of Kiev you go, the more haggard and ragged the reserves are. In several of the videos showing mass surrenders slightly west of Kiev, the men were all extremely old and beat up looking. This to me is a further sign that Ukraine has already mobilized the best troops it can get and sent them to the important fronts, and the reserves anywhere else in the country, in the less important areas, are in real bad shape and are barely combat worthy. This will come into important play once the main battles in Donbass really kick off and Kiev is forced to tap those reserves when the main force is attritioned, and they have nothing to send apart from old unconditioned, non battle worthy groups.
Re: Kiev military manpower pool:
1) 2/3s of the working age population of Ukraine emigrated since 2014. this 2/3s figure includes male and female, it’s a reasonable guesstimate that the 2/3s number is skewed towards males working abroad. Maybe 70-75% of working age Ukrainian Males are overseas.
2) also subtract from Kiev‘s manpower pool the Military aged Males from the 3 autonomous Oblasts. This is a big number.
Conclusion – the pool of available military potential manpower Kiev can draw upon is tiny.
Even pre 2022 serving in the Ukranian military was extremely unpopular. You are right that a lot of younger men left the country, because they could get better wages elsewhere and also avoid the draft. I read somewhere that there were a lot of fake IDs and medical exemptions going around, just to avoid serving, and that was pre-hostilities.
Here’s an article about how unpopular it was a couple of years ago: https://truth.in.ua/en/public/729/
That’s one of the reasons I think the idea of an insurgency won’t materialise.

After this admission of lying…which is not new, by the way…it was instituted under Bush2…part of their full spectrum dominance of the environment…. will the UNHRC open an inquiry into the deluge of monstrous lies and hate directed against one group of people? And ultimately it is only because they are
Orthodox Christians, with a traditionalist bend, wanting to live their own lives peaceably and write their own honest history.
Deeply saddened that all the nations of the world have not condemned this rank criminality of Natostanis.
RESPECT FOR RUSSIA.

don’t forget .. the folks in USA (and the US Empire) live within a Dream Factory.
Imagine if Marvel came out and said their Avengers movies were actually fiction.
The public already know that. Does knowing it’s not real stop the public’s Suspension of Disbelief when sitting in and soaking up the blockbuster superhero movies?
If the public is suspended within the Dream Factory, all the public needs are emotion level cues on what to believe and how to feel. Intellectual awareness of the fiction/reality dissonance is put to one side .. until stepping out of the Dream Factory – whereupon we can discuss how good the movie/war was.
Oh yes! Canthama. I really thought you were him. Awesome!!
