Notes from Scott Ritter talk in FB post:

The battalion commanders that the Russians have now are the best the world has ever seen. These guys are working miracles! And American battalion commanders would not mind studying what they are doing. The Russians are winning and nothing can happen to stop them. Nothing!

Many here have noticed or been following Lt.-Gen Igor Konashenkov through many years and wars - fighting proxies directly tied to you know the players. He is one smart military strategist, and this is no part time job. Yeah, he is one of the best in the world, no doubt.

Ritter again:

And for all the people who wear the Ukrainian flag on a jacket, I will say "Go to hell! "If you care about Ukrainians, you have to want the war to end today. Because everything that will happen between today and the inevitable day of the end of the conflict is that tens of thousands of Ukrainians will die.

Ritter is right, and Western people better figure it out fast, because when leaders get tired and more sloppy in what they have put in motion in Ukraine, in using Ukrainians up knowing there is no winning this blasted sick thing of theirs, they will turn their attention back upon the cheerleading people at home.

"...globalist in nature ruling Western elites began resorting to openly despotic methods and raising degree to which they manipulate public consciousness."

Yes, Putin (and probably many other leaders) see that they pulled the trigger he warned them not to pull, and they can't go back. The only thing they can do is continue to double down on manipulation, and the possible blowback from that in time will not bode well.

So, it is going to be very interesting to see what happens, painful too, and yet at some point those ruling are going to realize some stark realities about the gears they have put into motion, and they might begin to eat each other up in desperation.

After approval by CanadaSiemens wants to install repaired turbine for Nord Stream 1 as quickly as possible​

After the release from Canada, Siemens wants to bring the turbine for Nord Stream 1 to Russia as soon as possible and install it there - despite the current sanctions. Kiev is "deeply disappointed."

Popcorn Moment ?

I wonder... if this is going to develop into a popcorn moment ? If the turbine really makes it all the way from Canada to Germany - or if something accidentally, you know... out of the blue, might happen along the way... ? Does anyone know how large such a gas turbine is; e.g. how it is transported, by air or boat ?

As far as I understand, this thing is somewhat similar to a modern ship engine. If it can be stuffed into an airplane, then this plane should be big

Насколько я понимаю, эта штуковина- чем то напоминает современный корабельный двигатель. Если ее и можно запихать в самолет, то этот самолет должен быть большим

size example:

It is most likely that the GPU(gas pumping unit) will be shipped by sea, first to Germany, and then to Russia, its transportation may take about two weeks. Thus, the cars can arrive in Russia after the completion of technical work on the Nord Stream, which will take place from July 11 to 21. It may take a few more days to install the GPU.

Hacker RaHDIt: US intelligence supplies Kiev with satellite images for strikes on Russians

MOSCOW, July 11 - RIA Novosti. American intelligence supplies Ukrainian colleagues with radar data, as well as satellite images, including the territory of Russia, which is then subjected to missile and artillery strikes on civilians, a member of the Russian hacker group RaHDIt told RIA Novosti on condition of anonymity.
On the night of July 3, Ukrainian troops struck Belgorod with three Tochka-U missiles with cluster warheads. Russian air defense systems destroyed all three missiles in the air, but as a result of the defeat of Ukrainian missiles, the fragments of one of them fell on a residential building. According to the RF IC, three people were killed, two were missing, including one child.

"We know for sure that American intelligence supplies Ukrainian intelligence with satellite images, radar data, including satellite images of the territory of Russia, where then, in fact, Ukrainian missiles and shells arrive. We also see that their radar detection systems work in the interests of Ukrainian intelligence," the hacker told RaHDIt.
According to him, in order to "strike such strikes, it is necessary to have accurate information, the location of the targets at which they are being struck."

Hacker RaHDIt: the losses of the APU are at least 50-70 thousand killed

MOSCOW, July 11 – RIA Novosti. The losses of the Ukrainian armed forces today amount to at least 50-70 thousand killed, a member of the Russian hacker group RaHDIt told RIA Novosti on condition of anonymity.
In early June, the adviser to the head of the office of Vladimir Zelensky, Alexey Arestovich, said that up to 10 thousand Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since the beginning of the special operation.
"The losses of the Ukrainian army are really very high, much higher than what the president's office officially declares, Ukrainian politicians officially declare... It is greatly underestimated, there are clearly not 10, there are at least 50-70 thousand irretrievable losses they really have," the hacker said.
Last week, the hacker group RaHDit ("Evil Russian Hackers") posted on its website Nemesis new data from employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and related persons.
The documents relate to two and a half thousand people. These are, in particular, the criminal characteristics of employees of the GUR — among them there are drug addicts, convicted of robbery, robbery, illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs, burglary, grievous bodily harm and rape.

In June, RaHDIt made the data of 700 employees of the Security Service of Ukraine publicly available. At the beginning of the special operation, the RaHDIt group simultaneously hacked all 755 Ukrainian government websites, in particular, the websites of local authorities throughout Ukraine were hacked.
Also, information about more than 11,000 supporters of nationalist formations of Ukraine has been published on the portal of the hacker group NemeZida.

The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine acknowledged heavy losses among the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as of March 25, the Armed Forces have fulfilled the main tasks of the first stage – they have significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
In particular, Volnovakha, a strategically important regional center south of Donetsk, Mariupol, the largest city on the coast of the Sea of Azov, and Svyatogorsk, where a large Orthodox monastery with the status of a lavra is located, were liberated in the DPR. On the third of July, with the capture of Lisichansk and surrounding settlements, the entire territory of the LPR was liberated.

Хакер RaHDIt: украинская армия потеряла не менее 50-70 тысяч убитыми

How do you like that? To reduce the population of Russia by almost three times! The navel will not untie?! In this scenario, there will simply be nothing left of the same Poland. Although such as this figure does not care deeply about such things, one has only to look at what has become of his native country. Poland has received more money from the EU under various "assistance" programs than all the countries of Eastern Europe combined and, by the way, continues to receive, but basically the same processes as in other countries with a "victorious democracy". Population reduction, destruction of national industry, etc. The old CIA sucker is still saying by not own words. Madeleine Albright spoke about Russia's population of 50 million when she was US Secretary of State

The ex-president of Poland announced the need to reduce the population of Russia to 50 million people

Walesa expressed confidence in the need to "force a change of the political system in the country, organize an uprising of the peoples."

In his opinion, Russia needs to be "dismembered" in order to ensure security in the world.

"Either change the political system of Russia, or return it to a population of less than 50 million," Walesa stressed.

In addition, the ex-president admitted that the West is interested in expanding spheres of influence, but achieves this by "democratic methods."

Prior to that, Walesa took the initiative to dissolve the European Union and create it again, excluding Poland and Hungary from its composition.

Экс-президент Польши заявил о необходимости сократить население России до 50 млн человек

Spoiler: Russian spelling

Как вам такое? Практически в три раза сократить население России! Пупок не развяжется?! При таком раскладе от той же Польши не останется просто ничего. Хотя таким как этот деятель на такие вещи глубоко плевать, стоит только посмотреть, что стало с его родной страной. Польша получила от ЕС по разным программам "помощи", денег больше чем все страны Восточной Европы вместе взятые и, кстати продолжает получать, но в основном те же процессы, что и в других странах с "победившей демократией". Сокращение населения, разрушение национальной промышленности и т.д. Старый ЦРУшный выкормыш по прежнему говорит не свои слова. Про население России в 50 млн высказывалась еще Мадлен Олбрайт в бытность ее госсекретарем США

So, in other words... a lot can go wrong if the PTB would want that (in order to get Germany on its knees, which seem to be a major goal among others). Albeit... I forget to mention, that even if the Nord stream 1 wasn't functioning fully (and the repaired turbine might get sabotaged along the road) - what kept/keeps Germany from opening Nord stream 2 (if they really wanted, they could).

Dual standards, while playing the Muppet Show, as usual.

In this post, there are comments to a claim that Ukraine has or will raise an army of a million and retake areas, followed by demographic data about Ukraine. Next are paragraphs about how weapons from Ukraine can spread. Then comes an example of alleged self-reflection in Ukraine and a question about when a similar process might happen in the West.

Ukraine has million-strong army to retake South - minister
President Zelensky gave the order to retake the areas, Ukraine’s defense minister told The Times
Ukraine has amassed a million-strong fighting force in the country, commissioned by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, to recapture its southern areas, defense minister Alexey Reznikov has told The Times.

“We understand that, politically, it’s very necessary for our country. The president has given the order to the supreme military chief to draw up plans,” he said in an interview published on Sunday.

“We’re people of the free world and with a real sense of justice and liberty. We have approximately 700,000 in the armed forces and when you add the national guard, police, border guard, we are around a million strong,” the minister added.

Reznikov praised the British effort to help Ukraine, especially Ben Wallace, Britain’s defense secretary, who, according to him, was key to helping shift the approach from providing Soviet equipment to NATO-standard 155mm artillery, guided multiple launch rocket systems and high-tech drones.

This, Reznikov explained, will make up for heavy losses in the Donbass region in the face of mass Russian artillery shelling. President Zelensky previously said Ukraine was losing some 200 men a day in the area.
https://www.rt.com/news/558693-ukrainian-troops-arrive-uk-training/
Reznikov also mentioned other allies, claiming an “anti-Kremlin coalition was born.”

“Our partners in London and Washington DC and other capitals, they are invested in us, not only with money but the expectations of their people that we have to make the Kremlin lose. We have to win this war together,” he said.

Russian president Vladimir Putin’s old alliances have also been shattered, Reznik argued, pointing to Kazakhstan: recently president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev publicly refused to recognize the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics as sovereign nations.

“I’m sure that in the next few years we will see a procession of calls for sovereignty on Russian territory. The Russian Federation will finish its life as different countries – Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, etc,” Reznikov said.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.”

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

A million strong army is not impossible, there are still some Ukrainians left for the West to push into death, or as expressed above: "Our partners in London and Washington DC and other capitals, they are invested in us,"

A few demographic indicators related to the possibility of having a million strong army

In January 2020, an electronic census estimated that the population of Ukraine (excluding occupied Crimea and parts of the Donbas), to be 37.3 million.[8]

If we think that 5-7 million have fled and new territories have been lost, then we are down to 25 million subtracting children and the most disabled, but factoring in that women can be drafted, there will still be a significant number to be abused by the Ukrainian government.

Weapons from Ukraine tend to get around
Some days ago, there was: Nuclear family: How Ukraine helped North Korea develop the world's deadliest weapons

Mikhail Khodarenok, a military analyst and retired colonel, reminded RT about the chaos and anarchy that reigned in post-Soviet Russia and Ukraine, affecting many areas of life in the 1990s.

“Back then, Ukraine saw much of its critically important technology leak out of the country. We can trace Ukrainian influence in both China’s and Iran’s strategic cruise missile arsenals. And it’s not surprising – everyone did their best to survive in those turbulent times. And many things may indeed have been done without the involvement of [the] Ukrainian leadership.”

“But I don’t believe North Koreans were able to steal much. I am inclined to think that, in many cases, it was all based on deals, on mutual agreement. It’s just that the government was not part of it,” Khodarenok concluded.

With US weapons systems going into Ukraine, who knows where they will end up? If a US portable missile system is a few hundred thousands USD including the controlling console, where may we find it next?

When will Ukrainian reflections on the takeover by a pathological ideology resemble our own?
Литературные дневники / Стихи.ру This the earliest version, but the central text could be older:
There was in FB a translation of the above, there is with a few comments in []

"A woman from western Ukraine writes.... - "How was it necessary to make people so massively, hate with all the fiber of their soul everything (I emphasize - EVERYTHING - from embroidery to a flag with a coat of arms) Ukrainian? This is scary ....

We have lost the Ukraine. And Putin is not to blame for this. And our unknown Russophobes from ZU [ZU could be Russian latinized version of Western Ukraine] are to blame for this.

WE, OURSELVES are to blame for this. It is we - Ukrainians from Poltava, Cherkass, Kiev, Khmelnitsky, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv with all central Ukraine, who allowed these assholes Galichians to impose their Nazi orders over Ukraine.

Remember, Ukrainian! Remember when we use to pick them up at the feasts Bandera songs, as we laughed together with them at the anecdotes "may hour ta inspiration, pidu popylai moscoviala", [ "маю час та натхнення, пиду попыляю москаля" ~?"I have an hour and a natkhnennya, I am going to try Moskal"] we closed our eyes to their forging of the Ukrainian language on all these "shpytali", "narazi", "letovycha" and other "maps" with "militiyantama" and "cathedras" and". We were indifferent to the installation of monuments in their cities and villages to those who shot in the backs of our grandfathers in WWII 1941-1945.

Then they "unsignificantly" began to put portraits of Bandera and Shukhevich on their meetings. And then to march in the open, first on our own, and then in our cities with SS flags and fascist slogans ....

We consciously closed our eyes to it: "Well, they have their own story, you have to understand ... ". And these -THEIR monuments have begun to appear here as well..... They called us "skhidnyaki", the whole South-East - "slaves", "soviet" and "descendants of Stalinist Katsap executioners", and the miners were "a bunch of bandits. living with the same bunch of "angels".. And we, of course, realizing that it was not so, kindly patted them on the shoulder "Come on, you - there are normal people there too... ".

This is what we put them in Kyiv . And Kyiv , Kyiv ! I silently watched as visiting Galychians and students from ZU march with torches in honor of the birthday of Bandera along Khreshchatyk and these marches grew more and more numerous year by year.

They rewrote all of our history. Our ancestors, according to this story, have become worthless "poturakamas of the Russian empire" and their collaborators, raguls and trivialities - the new heroes of Ukraine.
We swallowed it as well.

When in Kiev, during Maidan, they began to beat in the subway for the Russian language (and in this Russian-speaking KIEV) Russian-speaking Kievans it was deep on the side, "they are children" are angry, they are against Yanukovych, somehow uncomfortable to put in their place.

They shitted and destroyed the whole center of Kiev we and been quiet here.

Now we are getting the answer. For our indifference, for our cowardice and for our stupidity - We LOST UKRAINE.
It will never again be not only in the previous borders.
PEOPLE ARE P O M E N Y !!!
The South-East's patience is overflowing. Ukraine turned out to be an evil stepmother for them, with tips under their nose and SWASTIKA on their sleeve....
.... I do not have a single argument for the Russians against their just hatred of this broken Ukraine. "... "

Говорит Украина... (Ольга Соколова 7) / Проза.ру

ПРИЧИНЫ ФАШИЗМА в Украине:
ПЕРЕПОСТ, ;Женщина с западной Украины пишет. ";Как же нужно было стараться, чтобы люди столь массово,
возненавидели всеми фибрами души все (подчеркиваю ВСЕ - от вышиванок до флага с гербом) украинское? Это страшно. Мы потеряли Украину. И в этом виноват не Путин. И в этом виноваты не известные наши русофобы из ЗУ . В этом виноваты мы. Именно мы - украинцы с Полтавы, Черкасс, Киева,Хмельницкого, Житомира, Чернигова со всей центральной Украины, позволили этим придуркам галычанам установить над всей Украиной свои нацистские порядки. Ты вспомни! Вспомни как во время застолий мы подхватывали их
бандеровские песни, как смеялись вместе с ними над анекдотами "маю час та натхнення, пиду попыляю москаля", мы закрывали глаза на коверкание ими украинского языка на все эти "шпытали", "нарази", "летовыща" и прочие "мапы" с "милициянтамы" и "катедрами". Нам было безразлично установление в их городах и селах памятников тем, кто стрелял в спины нашим дедам в ВОВ. Потом они "невзначай" стали ставить на своих собраниях портреты Бандеры и Шухечива. А потом в открытую маршировать , вначале по своим, а потом уже и по нашим городам с флагами СС и фашисткими лозунгами. Мы сознательно закрывали на это глаза: "Ну что ж у них своя история, надо понимать...". И эти -ИХ памятники стали появляться и у нас.....Они называли нас "схидняками", весь Юго-Восток -"рабами", "совками" и "потомками сталинских кацапских палачей", а шахтеров "кучей бандитов. живущих с такой же кучей "анжелик"..И мы,конечно же понимая, что это не так, дружески похлопывали их по плечу "Да
ладно вам - и там нормальные люди есть...". Это мы пустили их в Киев. И Киев, КИЕВ! молча смотрел как приезжие галычане и студенты из ЗУ маршируют с факелами в честь дня рождения Бандеры по Крещатику и эти марши становились все многочисленнее год от года. Они переписали всю нашу историю.Наши предки, согласно этой истории, стали никчемными "потуракамы российской империи" а их колаборанты, рагули и ничтожества -новыми героями Украины. Мы и это проглотили. Когда в Киеве , во время Майдана они стали избивать в метро за русскую речь (и в это в русскоговорящем КИЕВЕ) русскоговорящим же киевлянам это было глубоко по-боку, "они же дети" резвятся, они же против Януковича, как-то и неудобно ставить на место. Они обосрали и разрушили весь центр Киева мы и
тут молчали. Сейчас мы получаем ответку. За наше безразличие, за нашу трусость и за нашу глупость. Мы ПОТЕРЯЛИ УКРАИНУ. Она больше никогда не будет не только в прежних границах, поменялись люди. Чаша терпения у Юго-Востока переполнена. Украина оказалась для них злой мачехой, с усиками под носом и свастикой на рукаве. У меня нету ни одного аргумента для крымчан против их справедливой ненависти к этой полоумной мачехе-Украине.";

Look at how much suffering has been endured in Ukraine already! How much more suffering will come to the West before parallel reflections will reveal to many more what is going on and what happened? That will be quite a learning curve.

On the topic of reflection, Medvedev offers one subject: the double standards of the West:

Medvedev quotes Bible to Russia’s critics
Those seeking to “judge” Russia might face the “wrath” of God, the country’s ex-president has cautioned
Russia’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, has warned against any attempt to establish an international tribunal of sorts over the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev. Those promoting such ideas have no moral right to do so, and might ultimately face the “wrath” of God should they persist in their desire to “judge” the country, he said on Wednesday in a social media post.

“Who’s been screaming that it is necessary to set up a court over Russia and involve supranational bodies for this? Who is this daredevil or idiot?” Medvedev wrote, saying that it’s never a good idea to threaten a major nuclear power like Russia that way.

“This high priest is known to everyone,” he added, referring to the US. “And he worked very hard to sow chaos and destruction all over the world under the guise of the notorious ‘true democracy’.”

Moreover, Washington doesn’t have the moral right to judge anyone, let alone Russia, given the lengthy record of its “bloody wars of destruction” throughout its whole history, he pointed out. The US has excelled in imposing “its will crudely and primitively, using money, spineless vassals, – called ‘allies’ for the sake of decency – and weapons of the highest quality,” he added.

What tribunal condemned the sea of blood shed by the US [in Vietnam] and in other places? Nobody! No supranational body was created for these purposes. But the number of victims of the criminal policy of the US today is comparable to the [number of] victims of the Hitler regime.
While the US has been “killing people with impunity,” it has never faced any “real condemnation” from the “international structures it funds,” he said, concluding his post with an apocalyptic warning.

The US and its worthless lapdogs must remember the words of the Scripture: ‘Judge not, that ye not be judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged’ (Mt. 7:1–2). ‘For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?’(Rev. 6:17)

Return date for sanctioned Russian pipeline part revealed – media

Canada will reportedly send the equipment back after July 14
Canada plans to return a repaired Nord Stream 1 gas turbine to the pipeline operator after July 14, according to unnamed sources close to the matter cited by Russian business daily Kommersant.

The Siemens Energy equipment was transported to the country for scheduled maintenance, and is reportedly still undergoing tests in Montreal.

Russia suspends operation of major gas pipeline to Europe

The flow of Russian gas to Germany through the Nord Stream Baltic Sea pipeline has been suspended.

Operator Nord Stream AG said that routine maintenance work would shut down the pipeline for 10 days, starting Monday. During that time, all gas flows via the pipeline will stop.

The operator highlighted that the stoppage had previously been agreed with all partners.

I could not find a post that describes what ZOV stands for. Below is one article:

When trying to translate, there are some problems because a letter may represent a Russian word.

Regarding generation Z; there is this image:
View attachment 60733

The "O"(отважные) in ZOV means Brave(courage, fearlessness, brave).
There is such a word in Russian - "Отвага", means courage, fearlessness, brave.
Medal:


The units marked with the letter O have been participating in the special operation from the very beginning, they were the ones who conducted operations in the Sumy region of Ukraine, as well as in other areas, but somehow remained in the shadows. Under this tactical sign, the grouping of the Central Military District operates, after being redeployed to the Kharkov region and from there leading an offensive towards the Donetsk People's Republic.

Now this group is a nightmare for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the north of the DPR.

So, ZOV is the Russian word for "ЗОВ" and is translated into English as a call. The call of Russian blood to retribution.

The commander of the troops of the Central Military District presented state awards to the participants of the special operation, who distinguished themselves during the final stage of the liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic:

So, ZOV is the Russian word for "ЗОВ" and is translated into English as a call. The call of Russian blood to retribution.

Thank you for providing that angle. I looked it up on ЗОВ - Yandex Translate – dictionary and online translation between English and over 90 other languages.

Yandex lists зов is a noun and masculine. The first meaning given is call or calling, as in вызов.
The second meaning is summons, as in повестка. The third meaning is cry, as in крик.

The uses vary and include the following examples, where some indicating for instance a calling or cry of the heart were not translated that way in English, but in two instances I offered an alternative translation in [...] that bring out that meaning. If interested, the sources, movies, books etc. are given on the website.

US-made parts keep Russia’s artillery firing in Ukraine​

"It’s utterly unclear why the US has not sanctioned the export of high-tech electronic and optical systems to Russia"

"As the US prepares to deliver its HIMARS mobile precision rocket system to Ukraine, the latest bid to fortify its forces with advanced war-fighting equipment against Russia’s offensive push, few have noticed how much Russia’s artillery systems rely on US and Western-made electronic parts and components."

"Russia is also relying on literally thousands of Western parts to keep its rival systems up, running and firing on Ukrainian positions. In particular, those parts are keeping Russia’s target-identifying Orlan-10 drones aloft.'

"Significantly, the Orlan-10 would not be flying without US and allied-supplied parts."

"It is surprising that, with all the embargoes on Russia, the high-tech electronic and optical systems Russia needs have not been specifically blocked by sanctions."

"It is remarkable that Washington has neglected this extremely important supply to Russia’s war-fighting machine."

Poland nervous about leak of plans of dismembering Ukraine — Russian intelligence chief​

"MOSCOW, July 12. /TASS/. Poland is seeking to conceal its expansion to Western Ukraine and is taking nervously the leak of its plans of dismembering Ukraine, director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin said on Tuesday."

"Information coming to the Service indicates a nervous reaction of Poland’s leadership to the fact that its plans of dismembering Ukraine have come in the public eye," the Service’s press bureau quoted him as saying."

"In his words, Warsaw obviously hoped that amid the tough geopolitical standoff neither Kiev nor Washington no Moscow would notice its preparations for seizing Ukrainian territories. "Poland hoped that when the conflict in Ukraine reaches a phase of diplomatic settlement, the sides will have to recognize ‘Poland’s expansion’ as an accomplished fact. Now, following the leak of sensible information the Polish leadership has to quiet concerns of its NATO and EU ‘friends,’" Naryshkin said."
