Moon of Alabama – April 26, 2022
Gonzalo Lira just delivered a decent recap of the war in Ukraine.
Gonzalo Lira @GonzaloLira1968 – 10:28 UTC · Apr 26, 2022
Quick recap for those who haven’t followed what’s been going on in Ukraine but want to understand: 02/24: The Russians invaded from the south, south-east, east and north, in a lightning campaign. The Russians invaded with 190K troops—against 250K combat troops from Ukraine.
The RF put 30K troops near Kiev—nowhere near enough to capture the city—but enough to pin down some 100K AFU defenders. The RF also launched several axes of attack, with reinforcements on standby (including a famed 40km long tank column), to see where they might be needed.
Crucially—the Russian’s blitz on several axes pre-empted an imminent UKRAINIAN blitzkrieg. The AFU had been about to invade the Donbas. This was the immediate motivation for Russia’s invasion: To beat them to the punch and scuttle Ukraine’s imminent invasion—which they did.
Also, by attacking from the north and south, the Russians disrupted weapons supply chain from NATO. Had the RF only attacked in the east to prevent the AFU invasion of Donbas, there would have been an open corridor for resupply from the West. Threatening Kiev stopped that.
So the main AFU army was left stranded in east Ukraine, with the rest of the Ukr. forces isolated and pinned down—with no easy resupply from the West. The RF then went about hitting AFU command/control and resupply links, further isolating and immobilizing Ukrainian forces.
The Russians soon nominally controlled land the size of the UK in Ukraine—but it was a tenuous control. The south of Ukraine was more fully in Russia’s grip. The AFU around Kherson simply scattered. Mariupol became a clear battleground, as did the Donbas proper.
What the Russians initially wanted was to:
-
- Short-circuit the imminent Donbas invasion – which they did.
- Scare the Zelensky regime into negotiating a political settlement – which they failed to do.
Kiev had no intention of negotiating a ceasefire because of orders given to them from Washington: “Fight Russia to the last Ukrainian!” Also, the Neo-Nazi goons around Zelensky threatened him if he negotiated and surrendered because they are terrified of the Russians.
So Zelensky launched a massive PR and propaganda campaign, primarily to motivate AFU forces to fight to the death. Myths were created (Ghost of Kiev), false flags were carried out (Bucha, Kramatorsk) and relentless media stories were flogged relentlessly.
The Russians kept negotiating and trying to NOT destroy Ukraine infrastructure. In fact at first they were even trying to minimize AFU casualties. The evidence for this is overwhelming: The RF did not hit civilian infrastructure – water, electric, phone, transportation. They did not hit AFU barracks, command centers, government buildings, etc.
The Russians’ initial priority was for a *negotiated settlement*. But by late March, they realized this was impossible.
This is why the RF withdrew from Kiev. There was no sense putting men near the city when they were not doing what they were supposed to do – putting political pressure on the Zelensky regime to negotiate. This withdrawal was claimed as a “victory” in the “Battle of Kiev”! lmao
Starting in late March, the Russians pulled back and solidified their control over the area they had captured, ceding to the AFU areas that were either pointless to or potentially too costly to control. The Ukraine propaganda machine called all these pull- backs “victories”.
There was still a glimmer that the war might end in a negotiated settlement but that ended in early April. After the Istanbul talks of 3/30, the Ukraine side gingerly agreed to some compromises but within a week publicly disavowed those concessions.
That’s when the Russians realized the Zelensky regime was agreement-incapable: Their Washington masters, Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken in particular, wouldn’t allow a peace. They want this war to sap Russia dry. It is a classic proxy war and Ukraine will pay the price.
Something else the Russians realized: Sanctions. They hurt but Russia bounced back with remarkable speed. They didn’t really hurt that bad. But the theft of Russia’s $300 billion in foreign reserves by the West DID hurt – badly. The Russians realized they were in a total war with the West and since their foreign reserves were lost forever (likely to be pilfered by corrupt Western politicos), the Russians now have nothing left to lose. By stealing their reserves, the West lost all power over Russia.
This has sealed Ukraine’s fate: The Russians now have no incentive to give up what they have conquered. It has cost them too much in terms of men and treasure. And they know that they can’t negotiate a ceasefire. The Zelensky regime will simply break it later.
Which means:
The Russians intend to conquer and permanently annex all the south and east of Ukraine. This is why their strategy on the battlefield has dramatically shifted: Now they are carrying out a slow, methodical grinding down and destruction of the AFU.
The war in the first 30 days was speed, feints, nominally capturing vast swathes of Ukraine territory, with the aim of pressuring the Zelensky regime into a negotiated settlement. But the West’s total financial and political break with Russia means they have nothing to lose. And they have a lot to gain: The Donbas is mineral rich, the really productive farmlands of Ukraine are in the east and south, Kharkov is a major industrial city, the Sea of Azov has untold natural gas reserves.
And besides – the people love them. Why would the Russians now give up this hard-won prize?
And they *have* won – make no mistake. Ask any military man who is not a system pig, he’ll tell you: There is no way for the AFU to retake their country. They have no armor, no air defense, no fuel, no comms – it’s over.
The great tragedy is that so many THOUSANDS of young men will die, and die NEEDLESSLY!!, in order to postpone the inevitable. These brave boys will have fought so valiantly – and died so young, so cruelly -because of the evil of the Zelensky regime.
That’s the hard truth.
And in the end, this will be the map that will remain—a bitter image of Ukraine’s future. Russia will pour billions into their newly acquired territory. It will prosper and flourish. But the rump-state of Ukraine will be left poor, destroyed, forgotten.
A tragedy.

I concur with the above except for two minor detail. The move on Kiev was not intended to hinder resupply to Ukrainian troops in Donbas but to ‘fix’ potential reinforcement around the capital. That enabled Russian troops to open the corridor from Crimea to the Russian boarder as well as to cross the Dnieper in the south and to take Kherson. Those were the most important moves for the further development of the war.
I also do not believe that Russia will ‘annex’ the areas it is liberating from fascist control. Once librated the people in those areas will vote on becoming independent from Ukraine and the various regions, Donbas, Luhansk, Kherson, Odessa, will form states that will become part of the Federal Republic of Novorossia.
That country will be recognized and supported by Russia and its allies.
190,000 men? Rubbish!
The regular Russian military is around 1 million men. There’s no way they’ve put nearly 20% in UKraine.
UK MOD minister James Healpey says UK backs airstrikes on Russia. Consider this, the UK and other NATO states supply these weapons, they have trainers standing over Nazis goons as they operate these systems, doing everything but pull the trigger/button, and in moments of frustration, you will have NATO military pushing the Nazi hand aside and pushing the buttons. It’s a direct war now, as Lavrov has said.
The Kremlin has said that if these actions are carried out, we will respond proportionally, immediately.
The attack on the Bryanksk facility some 95 miles inside Russia, has been denied by the UKraine military. Most likely carried out by the SAS.
Croatian president Zoran Milanovic says he will block Sweden and Finland from joining NATO. He uses excuses, but the truth is, NATO is crapping themselves at the prospect of Russian retaliation.
As I said the other day. Cut out the piffle. Russia and NATO are in a direct war. You hear ‘proxy war’, but it’s not. This is a bare knuckle fight and NATO are wearing Nazi rubber gloves. This is the reality.
Gazprom have cut off the gas to Poland and Hungary. This should have happened last year before Winter kicked in. Polish regime representative said this morning that Poland had made complete preparations for this eventuality… yep, I can’t wait. If Poland has alternatives, they’d have implemented them months ago. I haven’t checked the price of gas this morning, but it must be painful.
I used to follow Moon of Alabama. That was until he got very authoritarian about scrubbing comments from Covid doubters and calling them names reminiscent of the MSM attacks. Never been back. I like Gonzalo Lira but I’m reluctant to indulge Moon of Alabama so I think I’ll let this video pass.
I refer to this website everyday – I used to have all the paper copies of The Truthseeker pre-internet.
Reading all the comments on the source here, and on other posts on various topics – I still am not at all sure of what is true or not at any level.
Even on here people seem absolutely convinced that this or that is true and people posit the precise opposite with similar conviction.
That Greek who said ‘I only know that I know nothing’ knew a thing or two.
WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN UKRAINE
The MSM and alt media prognosticators continue scratching their heads trying to figure out the enigmatic dynamics of this Ukrainian conflict, with Jewish leadership backed by CIA M16 Mossad funding, supplying and training a NAZI movement. It doesn’t make sense…really?
It’s just history repeating itself. The HAAVARA AGREEMENT ( Jewish-Nazi cooperation 1933)and the backing of Adolf Hitler was essential in populating Israel, deriving billions in war profits and yes, just as will happen to Azov Battalion, the ultimate eradication of the Nazis who were merely tools and pawns in this strategy.
Whenever it comes to inexplicable reasoning and head-scratching, one must consider:
WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE JEWS Always hedging and playing both sides against the middle.
1. Regardless of who wins, abundant sales and eventual replenishment of arms stocks for the Arms Industries w have largely jewish stockholders.
2. Regardless of who wins, white Christians and Muslims are killing each other in the thousands.
3. Regardless of who wins, the last bastion of white nationalism will be destroyed by Russia and the Azov and other Nazi Battalions will eventually be turned on and demonized by their own current Ukrainian-Jewish leadership, along with western assistance. The Nazis in Ukraine are already a planned obsolescence.
4. The creation of the Petro-Ruble will devalue the US dollar and the EURO, thus devaluing the billions in debt created at the lowest interest for largely Jewish firms that have been accumulating the best assets around the world with cheap debt. The reset will happen on Jewish terms.
5. Millions of Ukrainians have left southwestern Ukraine never to return leaving the way for an exclusively jewish Hamptons on the Black Sea. This opens the opportunities for Jews:
a. Before the dollar is completely devalued, Jewish and Russian Oligarchs, will buy up the best vacated and distressed Ukrainian coastal real estate for development.
b. They can now ramp up their Middle East aggressions to create a larger Eretz Israel, by funneling the fleeing Muslim immigrants into the Ukraine as a disposable work force.
c. Many are already proclaiming Ukraine as the NEW JERUSALEM. Clearing of a large portion of the Ukrainian population will facilitate the re-establishment of the Jewish Kazarian empire to its historical location in the Ukraine.
6. Jews have been invested in the thousands of new apartment complexes, hundreds still under construction, in the United States. Much of these remain unrented. The millions of Ukrainians immigrants will eventually be funneled, with government vouchers and subsidies from US taxpayers, into these brand new homes.
7. Ukrainian immigrants will provide an abundance of skilled and semi-skilled workforce for Jewish businesses and will provide an abundance of new and sorely needed consumers for Jewish retail and entertainment.
Ultimately, the Nazis of Ukraine will go the way of their German predecessors. You can spend $ ONE BILLION DOLLARS in arms to attack a foe, or you can give that foe $ ONE BILLION DOLLARS in arms to prolong their own eventual demise. Arms dealer win either way.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE
1. Death and destruction.
2. Inflation and high prices.
3. More suppression of privacy and freedom an further empowered Jewish controlled media, government and security/surveillance state.

There is something fishy going on with Gonzalo.He says his computer has been confiscated by the SBU. But if you visit his YouTube channel , you’ll find none of his videos where he exposes the Ukrainian govt headed by Zelensky has been removed. They are still there. It doesn’t make any sense for the SBU to take Gonzalos computer, without forcing him to delete all the videos.Another thing is how he knows what’s realy going on in Kharkov.? All the info which he gets comes from the internet. He is not roaming arround trying to get info from the local people what to speak of other sources. Even if he wants to investigate outside his apartment, he is very much restricted because of language problem.He totaly depends on the Internet .I agree with his analysis, but how he knows what’s realy going on when he lives in his apartment 24/7. So,if he takes everything from the internet, why he claims to be in Kharkov when there is no need for it ? He can do this from any part in the world,no need to be in Kharkov.
So my guess is,Gonzalo is not in Kharkov, he is playing a game because he loves to be in the spotlight and he enjoys talking about his research from the internet making himself internationally important .He is making a big show for himself that’s all what it is about.He is not in Kharkov and he never was arrested by the SBU.
And here in his second video after his disappearance he gets the facility again using either his or another computer and speaks freely about other journalists who are still missing .You realy believed after arresting him by the SBU has he claims, he gets free air time to talk about missing journalists? I found this quite amazing that in this video he gets permission from the SBU for 90 min. to continue his criticism about the Ukrainian govt headed by Zelensky on YouTube.
hope westeuropean puppets
of USRAHELL come to sences .
All Soviet disinfo…to cover up the reality of the war:
You are witnessing the beginning of a new Judeo-Communist orchestrated Holodomor. The purpose of the war is to eradicate ‘white collectivism/nationalism’ (aka ‘Nazism’) in Ukraine, reduce their cities/infrastructure to ruins, slay the men/send them to gulags & export the females to multiracial/nonwhite nations…Its a War Against Whites. The Jews & Commies realized it was just a matter of time before a ‘white revolution’ would materialize via the Azov regiment & other fascist groups, who would topple the liberal-democratic system & institute a White Ethnostate devoid of Jews/Commies. So they directed their Zionist-Jewish puppet Putin to wipe out the ‘Amalekites’…figure it out, if you can..
I concur with Lee Garland, it is amazing that Gonzalo still has his head attached to his shoulders. This Chileno is just too American and too linked in to sources for a guy who speaks neither Russian or Ukrainian (or does he?). Gonzalo’s information appears substantive, but he has the demeanor and confidence of a CIA trained officer or operative. I believe Gonzalo is in line with my own analysis of Ukraine that I’ve posted above.
If any of this is to be believed and it is not simply more NWO Kabuki theatre, then if Russia is so beleaguered and buggered by the big bad West, then why do it leaders not simply expose all of the massive frauds and pretexts to usher in the UN Agendas and the WEF Reset for their one-world totalitarian government and currency?
All Putin or Lavrov would have to do is to admit that the massive Covid fraud was hatched and promulgated mainly from the US and the UK, and that they were unwilling accomplices under threats of much more real and more-crippling economic sanctions and threats of war if they did not comply. It is as simple as that. But no, the Kremlin will not do that because they are part of the problem and they are simply playing out their roll to establish a promised land of NWO favors along with the dirty old and lying West.
“Attilla…
Indeed… the Ukrainian military blow the legs and arms off Fox journalists (they don’t seem to complain however and wave their bandaged hands at the cameras cursing the Russkies for allowing the banderists to do Gods own work and kill fox journos)…
it seems Azov policy to kill foreign journalists on sight given the chance… which seems eminently sensible..
But not ‘coach red pill’ … internet influencer..
@Fred B
Exactly… if all was as it seemed through the looking glass Rasputin holds the aces… spill the beans…
yet he can’t inject his population with Portland Down poison quick enough… and the IMF run his central bank (written into the Russky satraps constitution).. the same imbeciles that have stolen their Foreign reserves.. supposedly
All wars are fake wars… all wars are bankers wars..
‘al’ posts a good comment above and humorous and unrepentant Nico x isn’t probably far off the mark either.. althought rather than just Azov Banderists I think ‘white’ Europe itself is in the cross hairs…
it has been for 70 years..
Unfortunately this guy has lost his credibility, which was already in dire straits, with his last publicity stunt.
“Buh, buh, I was detained by the secret police!” Fer sherrrr! Sure you were, pal. If that had been the case you would have had your fingernails pulled out, and your jaw would have been out of its socket.
The al comment is one of the informative ones, where we can see an unexpected role for both the Hitler Nazis and the Ukraine ones, a Jew-benefitting role, but not surprising if you ever read the Protocols carefully; there is Jewish “antisemitism” permanently at a tick-over level and then these occasional special projects where it is white-hot but controlled. Non-students never get to know about it.
War is a Hoax on Bitchute, also Ukraine citizens and holiday makers have caught vids of the fake invasion so all this bogus is just fear BS as spread by the media inbreds.
@ Mike D
So funny dude . You’re questioning another’s credibility ? It’s like getting dieting advice from a 400 pound man.
Good luck to Russia keeping the NAZIS AT BAY. Quite right too.
I agree with the writer’s assessment of the 2022 war in Ukraine and the background to it.
MY BRIEF COMMENT: The first casualty of war is the truth, the last casualty of war is the working class history of the war(s).
In between it’s the mass culling of *US* the full spectrum of the working class -both armed, in uniform but mostly unarmed, out of uniform- this is only after they’ve super-exploited us and bled us dry of own our physical labour, have sacked us, starved us, evicted us, abused and excluded us.
What they fear the most, are the politically aware, informed and intelligent working class! Not those who’ve for centuries misled, misrepresented and profited from pretending to be concerned about the working class, even while -falsely- claiming to be working class!
@ markie,
Oh, look who it is!!! Our own resident flat-earther/nukes are fake/planes are Illuminati holograms/birds are “Deep State” drones … did I forget anything? Oh ya, that JFK faked his death ‘cause, ‘cause, Illuminati! Let me ask you an honest question since you push your crackpot delusions on the threads here: who helped JFK fake his death: them Jesuits, them freemasons, or was it the lizard people?!?
@ Mike D
Ouch !! You wounded me deeply with your straw man gibberish . Such desperation man . This is no fun. It’s not even a challenge sparring with you , your game is so weak. As the saying goes , you come unarmed to a battle of wits. I tried to help you improve your competency as a shill , but you didn’t listen and continue with the same worn out techniques. The knock on the door is coming soon., Your handlers are going to remove you from service. You’re becoming too much of liability. Maybe they can get you a gig tap dancing at the Rotary Club if you still feel the need to perform.
