Despite America’s apparent economic superiority and the strategic advantages of its many hundreds of military bases worldwide, Russia has several advantages of its own. Unlike Washington, Moscow is run by competent, sober men. They take their work seriously and the Kremlin is not known for blue haired women and homosexuals running around shrieking about their various and sundry non-procreative sexual fetishes and hobbies. So they’re in a good position to outsmart their American adversaries in the ongoing World War Terminus. When your office is free of diversity hires and staffed with experienced men who share goals and purpose, amazing things can happen, even if those men are inferior Slavs (haha).
In terms of public support, they’ve got the moral high-ground of being encircled by a well-financed and heavily-armed foe. The people are very much united in support of their leaders and regard their soldiers with admiration. Outside the cucked West there is a general good will towards Russia, with all of the Oriental nations – except cucked Japan, of course – sympathetic to the Russian cause. Latin America seems evenly split. Southern Europe, Israel, most of Africa and the Islamic world tend to support Russia while expressing humanitarian sympathy towards the Ukraine.
America has way more weapons generally, but Russia has the advantage in hypersonic missile technology. And while the West is gaining a ton of intelligence by prolonging the Ukrainian conflict and observing Russian tactics in action, Russia is gaining a battle-hardened army. According to Globalfirepower.com Russia is ranked second in the world, a nation of 142 million souls, has 850,000 active duty men in uniform with another quarter million in reserve, and 46.6 million men fit for service.
By contrast, first-ranked America, with nearly 340 million souls plus tens of millions of illegals, has about 1.42 million in uniform and another 442,000 in reserve and 122 million fit for service.
But the numerical superiority can be deceiving. Americans are much much fatter and lazier than Russians. Russians are notoriously drunkards, but Americans are drunk too, plus massively addicted to meth and various synthetic narcotics. Both nations are hopelessly addicted to porn, so no advantage there. Russia treats its Working Class as if it were the core of the national identity and they are represented sympathetically in Russian media, while American media tend to spit on its Working Class a lot, and morale and loyalty are down to all-time lows among the white male Southern Working Class, which has historically provided most of the best of America’s soldiers. Aside from them, most American men have never known hardship, responsibility, material want or even a real job of any kind.
And while America’s soldiers have decades of experience, that was acquired fighting ill-equipped and poorly disciplined militia fighters. Russia’s recent combat has been against poorly trained conscripts but those conscripts were equipped with an unlimited supply of America’s best weapons. Valuable experience indeed.
Of course America has all of Europe for allies, while Russia has Belarus and …? But most of Europe can’t fight. The once-mighty British, an 8 seed in this year’s big dance, has a mere 194,000 in uniform and 37,000 in reserve. While they claim 24.6 million fit for service, how many of those are either Britain-hating Muslims or weak soyboys, or both? Other than them, most of Europe’s men would need an enormous amount of training to get them trained up and born again hard. The war could be over before they get out there.
Time will tell, but I think it’s smarts and sobriety that give Russia the edge. Their foe is at the most dangerous point of late stage societal collapse. While America hopes to use a drawn-out proxy war of strictly limited scope to justify the imposition of a totalitarian police state throughout the Anglo-sphere, we’re getting weaker and less capable on a daily basis. So Russia has no need to rush. American strength is a fraction what it was just four years ago and will be much weaker by this time next year. When and if it does come to a fight, Russia will have strong supply lines in its rear. America will have a hungry and cold and extremely pissed off European peasantry competing for supplies.
But while they are smart not to rush it, neither should Russia acquiesce to America’s rules of engagement. What options does Russia have? I can think of two.
Targeted Assassinations
The NATO-imposed Lithuanian blockade of Kaliningrad is an obvious provocation, and attempt to “Fort Sumter” the Russians into opening a hot war and justifying further western aggression. Simultaneously, Israel is probing Russia’s tolerance with renewed bombing campaigns against civilian infrastructure in Syria.
Polls show general sympathy for Russian interests in Ukraine amongst Israeli Jews and a desire to stay out of it. This strongly indicates that, like America, Israeli government is acting under orders from the State Department.
If I were the Russians (I am not. I am an American and a loyal one and a Patriot, but if I were Russian) I would look to responses that could embarrass Western efforts without tracing directly back to the Kremlin. America and Israel have both had a lot of success using assassins against Iranian government officials. Could similar tactics be employed against senior State Department figures? I’m not a lawyer and certainly not a diplomat. I don’t know how the “international law” or Geneva Convention treats the targeting of politicians and bureaucrats. I suspect that pols and Ruling Class elite-types generally consider themselves to be not legitimate targets. Go figure.
Recall that during the American Revolutionary War, the British officers were scandalized when the Rebels deliberately targeted their officers on the battlefield. It had been regarded as terribly unsporting for opposing armies to deliberately attempt to harm the gentlemen in command. Their delicate sensitivities and refined tastes render them particularly sensitive to pain! A great deal has changed since then, but I think the rule about not targeting commanders and non-combatants still stands. Putin will want to check with his lawyers about this one.
Naturally, our State Department is much more admirable in theory than in practice. As best I understand it though, the people there today are the very same intriguers who orchestrated the extremely violent and deadly Maidan Revolution, burned patriotic Ukrainians alive, overthrew the democratically elected government there and installed the puppet regime that today spends Ukrainian blood so thoughtlessly. So you could argue either way if they are genuinely “civilian non-combatants.” Still, we are Americans and these Byzantine rascals in the State Department are too, or at least their passports claim they are. I never bet against my own team. But, as I say, it’s a tactic Israel uses with devastating effect. If it crossed my pedestrian mind it surely has occurred to Putin as well. So I hope our patriotic fellow-countrymen at State are taking appropriate precautions.
It doesn’t seem like they have the spy network in place for that. Or is it that they just don’t play that hand very often? There might be Russian agents everywhere, just like they use dot say when we were kids.
Arming the Insurgents
America is engaged with a cold civil war against its own population and a forever war by proxy feeds the government's narrative and provides them cover for all sorts of excess and outrage against its population. Currently the Ruling Class is focused on disarming the peasantry before we get any ideas. Ammo bans, gun bans, effeminate “red flag” lawfare are just getting started and will surely intensify after the Democrats steal yet another election this November with infinite “mail in ballots.”
The longer they wait to fight, the weaker their foe will ultimately be. But right now the wounded beast is at its most dangerous. The Ruling Class must be at least partially aware they have shit the nest and be ready to lash out without caution, knowing their days are numbered. It would be very smart for Russia to do anything it can now to increase the rate of blood-loss, as it were, to hasten the Western collapse.
For this reason, I think Russia would be wise to take a page from the State Department’s own playbook and start “arming moderate insurgents” in the West. Urban chaos is epidemic in America already. Supplying weapons and ammo to black and Mexican street gangs in America and Muslims in Europe keep the Mockingbird media busy running cover for the government’s failure to maintain order.
It would also increase the need for the Western Oligarchs to keep their best men close to their capitols instead of out harassing Russian forces. And perhaps best of all, it would deal yet another massive blow to the already reeling morale of the Working Class, rendering us even less willing to defend the Regime.
I suspect the Western intelligence has already thought of this. And this is why they paint the right-wing as “nazis” in their propaganda. Knowing the innate Russian hatred for nazis, they hope that reputation will cause the Russians to leave the right-wingers out when they are passing out weapons. Are Russians smart enough to see through that? I don’t know. Surely the West has a massive intelligence advantage. While Russia is simply crawling with CIA saboteurs, I doubt if Russia has any decent spies outside the New York/DC axis. But what do I know?
As President* Biden has mumbled repeatedly, having a few semi-automatic rifles won’t help. We’ll need missiles, anti-tank weapons and helicopters and bombers too.
How about it, Vlad?
If we’re ever going to get the secession ball rolling, it’ll have to begin in Texas. And a nuclear-armed Texas would be just about the awesomest thing that ever happened.
