Moon of Alabama – Sept 7, 2022
When the Ukraine launched its Kherson ‘counteroffensive’ on August 29 I was pretty aghast and judged that it was destined to fail:
To break the reinforced Russian lines now would have taken more troops than were available.
I am sure that the Ukrainian military knew that this offensive would fail.
For political reasons Zelenski ordered them to launch it anyway. There are now another 1,000+ Ukrainian and Russian lives lost for nothing other then some sensational headlines and political optics.
More than 3,000 Ukrainians have died by now in the Kherson offensive without having made any significant progress. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles were lost. A dozen Ukrainian planes and helicopters have been shot down. All the material had come from the ‘west’ which has now emptied its stock of Soviet weapons. No more will be coming anytime soon.
The Ukraine thereby blew its chance to hold a line against any significant new moves from the Russia side. Those moves will be coming.
But what really bothers me is the human toll of this offensive.
I have never been at war. But I have had a decent full time military officer training over several years plus several month long reserve stints in active duty battalions. I have read lots of books and watched dozens of movies about frontline fighting in World War I, II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc. If one reflects on those events and the details described in the depictions one gets a ‘feel’ for such conflicts. Then there is the operational math like the numbers of artillery rounds fired per square kilometer, troop density and the toll such artillery bombardments will inevitably take.
The Ukrainian soldiers never had a chance to withstand the might of the Russian military. None whatsoever. That was recognizable from the very onset of the war. That the Ukrainian government and its backers tried to withstand the onslaught was illogical.
The ‘west’ should have given up and make the concessions that Russia had demanded. It will have to make those anyway.
The Ukrainian government has tightly controlled the media and any reporting from the frontline. We have only had Russian reports of high numbers of Ukrainian casualties. Some doubt the numbers the Russians give. I don’t. They mostly fit with what I learned and with calculations.
Now a Washington Post reporter got access to hospitals where wounded Ukrainian soldiers involved in that ‘counterattack’ try to recover. John Hudson’s report is grim even as it is not from the frontline and holds back on the most grievous scenes:
Wounded Ukrainian soldiers reveal steep toll of Kherson offensive
As the piece is behind a paywall I will extensively quote from it:
In dimly lit hospital rooms in southern Ukraine, soldiers with severed limbs, shrapnel wounds, mangled hands and shattered joints recounted the lopsided disadvantages their units faced in the early days of a new offensive to expel Russian forces from the strategic city of Kherson.
The soldiers said they lacked the artillery needed to dislodge Russia’s entrenched forces and described a yawning technology gap with their better-equipped adversaries. The interviews provided some of the first direct accounts of a push to retake captured territory that is so sensitive, Ukrainian military commanders have barred reporters from visiting the front lines.
…
“We lost five people for every one they did,” said Ihor, a 30-year-old platoon commander who injured his back when the tank he was riding in crashed into a ditch.
…
Russia’s Orlan drones exposed Ukrainian positions from more than a kilometer above their heads, they said, an altitude that meant they never heard the buzz of the aircraft tracking their movements.
Russian tanks emerged from newly built cement fortifications to blast infantry with large-caliber artillery, the wounded Ukrainian soldiers said. The vehicles would then shrink back beneath the concrete shelters, shielded from mortar and rocket fire.
Counter-battery radar systems automatically detected and located Ukrainians who were targeting the Russians with projectiles, unleashing a barrage of artillery fire in response.
Russian hacking tools hijacked the drones of Ukrainian operators, who saw their aircraft drift away helplessly behind enemy lines.
…
Oleksandr said the Russian artillery fire was relentless. “They were just hitting us all the time,” he said. “If we fire three mortars, they fire 20 in return.”
The Ukrainian soldiers said they had to carefully ration their use of munitions but even when they did fire, they had trouble hitting targets. “When you give the coordinates, it’s supposed to be accurate but it’s not,” he said, noting that his equipment dated back to 1989.
…
Russian electronic warfare also posed a constant threat. Soldiers described ending their shifts and turning on their phones to call or text family members — a decision that immediately drew Russian artillery fire.
“When we turn on mobile phones or radio, they can recognize our presence immediately,” said Denys. “And then the shooting starts.”
…
The Ukrainian claims of retaking villages such as Vysokopillya could not be confirmed, though soldiers interviewed said they were able to advance into some previously Russian-controlled villages. Those soldiers declined to name the villages, citing instructions from their superiors.
A group of Washington Post journalists who traveled within three miles of Vysokopillya, in northern Kherson, on Monday were prevented from entering the village by Ukrainian troops and could not ascertain its status. A local official said Ukrainian and Russian forces were still battling for control.
A clear picture of Ukraine’s losses could not be independently assessed.
…
Denys, sitting upright on his hospital bed, said almost every member of his 120-person unit was injured, though only two were killed.
A 25-year-old soldier being treated for shrapnel wounds said that, within his unit of 100 soldiers, seven were killed and 20 injured. Ihor, the platoon commander, said 16 of the 32 men under his command were injured and one was killed.
Ukraine’s injured soldiers have been spread out to different hospitals across southern Ukraine to free up the main medical facilities near the Kherson region for incoming patients.
The soldiers in the second ‘counteroffensive’ attempt southeast of Kharkiv will have a similar fate.
My best guess is that Ukrainian losses are not five but ten times those on the Russian side. An attack, through the open steppe, on an armored force that is technologically superior is a suicide mission.
Russian soldiers are not allowed to carry mobile phones. Why Ukrainian soldiers are allowed to have then and use those is beyond me. Do they want to commit suicide?
Suicide is what European politicians have committed their economies and societies to. Who knew that one needs energy, as cheap as possible, to smelter steel, aluminum and glass?

BREAKING: 40 CEOs of European metal producers have wrote an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission warning of an “existential threat” to industry as power prices surge.
No steel smelter, no taxes from steel smelters and their workers. No steel smelter, no payback of credit given to it. The big banking losses coming now will cause another severe banking crisis. Less money for the state means less pensions and healthcare.
This is ruinous for European states and their inhabitants. Meanwhile the U.S. politicians, neoconservative ideologist and money men behind the whole plan of using the Ukraine against Russia are laughing their asses off.
Tuomas Malinen @mtmalinen – 8:53 UTC · Sep 7, 2022
I am telling you people that the situation in #Europe is much worse than many understand.
We are essentially on the brink of another banking crisis, a collapse of our industrial base and households, and thus on the brink of the collapse of our economies.
We are also totally at the mercy of the authorities, and we have very little knowledge what they have planned.
Will they be able to stop the onset of the banking crisis, yet again? I don’t know, but I am doubtful. 路♂️樂

Germany is probably in the worst situation. Chancellor Olaf Scholz reacted to the Russia military operation with hysterical moralizing that was beyond any rationality. His government depends on the Green politicians in his cabinet. These are pigheaded ideological nuts. Germany, under severe threat of blackouts, will now decommission three perfectly fine nuclear power plants and restart dirty old coal fired power plants that were supposed to be dismantled. How Green is that?
Here is the how the president of Russia is seeing it:
Europe is about to throw its achievements in building up its manufacturing capability, the quality of life of its people and socioeconomic stability into the sanctions furnace, depleting its potential, as directed by Washington for the sake of the infamous Euro-Atlantic unity. In fact, this amounts to sacrifices in the name of preserving the dominance of the United States in global affairs.
…
The competitive ability of European companies is in decline, for the EU officials themselves are essentially cutting them off from affordable commodities and energy, as well as trade markets. It will come as no surprise if eventually the niches currently occupied by European businesses, both on the continent and on the global market in general, will be taken over by their American patrons who know no boundaries or hesitation when it comes to pursuing their interests and achieving their goals.
The next federal elections in Germany are three years away. One really hopes for some kind of coup but I see little movement yet in such a direction.
Where are the rational politicians who can take over?
No problem,just sacrifice some baby goats,lambs and small children and drink their blood and everything will be just fine.It worked out really well for me.
Any questions just ask my disciple Niko X.
You state that this was all for no gain. Perhaps that is true if you are a European, but if you are a jew like Victoria Nuland or many others in her tribe then the news couldn’t be better. As she stated, ‘less Europeans is good news’. For these jews in the US State Department, jews like the oligarchs who run the Ukraine and their jew puppet Zelensky, the jews who run the vaccine companies and whose products are killing and injuring millions of Europeans and the jews who have been flooding Europe with millions of Third World invaders, the news couldn’t be better. They’re also rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of millions of Europeans freezing and starving to death this winter. The hated White race is tottering before going down for the count.

@Brian Born
Excellent observation.
It’s been my contention ALL ALONG that “Ukraine” is just the cover-story for the REAL AGENDA….
which happens to be the premeditated IMPLOSION of Europe… and the subsequent ERADICATION of its native WHITE populations. Think South Africa…. on STEROIDS!
Yes… that vile venomous viper Victoria Nudelman-Kagan really meant it when she spat out “FUCK Europe!!!”… and – guess what? – ALL the Western (((Governments))) are in on it…
The queen is dead bloody good hob
this evil bitch knighted Tony Blair the butcher of iraq
she knew he had diana murderd Robin cook and Dr david kelly
New labour was a mossad front org
and toerag tony was its ambasador

I am also the original LGBT warrior who would have sex with anything that moves (or not moves) but mainly men.
“When having homosexual sex I would always play the submissive role.”
I was raised as a filthy rich Pom-golian spoilt brat who offered to help destroy the bad white germans but sadly even my jew infested goverment refused my services due to my extreme mental instability.
Luckily I still have my last mentally unstable disciple Niko-X.
Please direct any questions you may have about un-natural sex acts,beastiallity, zoophillia, minor attracted persons etc to my only remaining friend NIKO.
I wish I could go on but I’m kinda busy for the next few eternities right now burning in a lake of fire.Thank god for nico.lol.
The war in Ukraine is a war between Satanic Jews and Russia. Problem is that the Satanist Jews do not fight. They get others, in this case Ukrainian gentiles, to fight and die.
For a supposed military man (really alphabet corps) the loon of alabamy really needs to tell the full story here… (which he never does being an alphabet man)..
That being… this is a planned implosion of the nation states of Europe in preparation for the ‘jew’/Yankee/Great Satan etc orchestrated 6uild 6ack 6etter psy-op (whatever shape that may take.. but l suspect mass slaughter of Euro man may be invoked)… Not some ridiculous ‘political’ oversight..
as with the ‘Covid’ and Toxic so called ‘genetic’ injection scam the old loon fell in line behind.. if the cover ‘story’ is nonsense and counter intuitive you are generally dealing with bullshit…(as the virus scam proved.. all government is truly ‘captured’.. although somehow the SMO is a ‘real’ event without precedent..that somehow dove tails perfectly but accidentally with the aims of elitist imbeciles)…
Thus one must conclude .. this to be the ahem..end-stage.. of the 150 year race war with ‘Zion’ and its Demon and its materialist inverted ideology (actually much much older)…and also one has to see these past events and wars etc as points on a continuum … an overarching plan.. the ‘Monstrous conspiracy’ of Eisenhower etc etc…
So buckle up … bumps ahead..
Putin like the romanovs have denied rothschild bankers
thrown out with the russian mafiw
this is why ukraine was used as a dangle
like poland was to germany in w w 2
just to get the ball rolling for a nice war
jews make big monoy on wars
so its in their interest
Brian boru said it well enough
Thank God for the Rixons (very few) of this world, who will find the genuine informers of the public about what is going on in this filthy destruction of Russian and Ukrainian lives, all in the interest of the international ‘oligarchs’.

Back in 1989 I got out of the USAF and was reading Dolores Cannon’s Conversations with Nostradamus.
I was so astounded by the future predictions she was getting by reverse hypnosis that I called her up and went to her little Arkansas town and took her out to lunch, I asked her how the Nazis could come back to power in the Time of Troubles.
She said things were going to get so bad that extreme nationalism would come back.
Well, shutting off the gas with certainly do that.

7:32 am & 9:45 posts are by some Jew/Cass Sunstein internet agent…You see Rixon the tricks these Commies & Jews play, because they’re afraid of my superlative posts exposing the war & the dissemination of the new religion for Aryan humanity…because they know I’m right.
All for no gain!!!
The author does not see the degrees of freedom between KGB-Putin´s Soviet Russia and the West as worth dying for?
If on a scale from 1-10 western freedom is say 6 Russian freedom would be something like 0.
If on a scale of 1-10 truth in our media is 4 it is 0 in Russia. But we still have the more or less free internet.
Of course slave souls do not find this worth fighting for – and in the end it will all be the same in WEF´s (City of London´s) Big Reset, which readers of this blog inadvertently promote by their pro-Putin attitude.
Look at this Russian Foreign Ministry description of Western view on the Ukrainians: MOSKAU, 8. September. /TASS/ https://tass.com/politics/1504931
This is something we can all judge about for once.
Most people in the west (except readers of this blog) would say it is the Russian view and behaviour described!!
Good comments:
In a nutshell….on one front…this”war” could have been avoided diplomatically ,then again maybe it was (((inevitable))). If and when Ukraine surrenders and/or is annihilated….Russia’s terms will be at minimum on par with what could have been settled peacefully.
This seguays into more and more evidence that this war is being used to not just destroy Ukraine, but destroy Europe and European stock via direct and collateral damage. The “smug” USA citizens are also asleep, while Biden and crew are destroying US from within.
This would ultimately leave China and Russia as last superpowers standing.
Now the Ukrainians and I think some US generals are talking about the possibility of a limited nuclear war, but they’re missing out a most important factor. Such a war isn’t limited to what you want but to what your opponent wants, and if he decides he doesn’t want to limit it then it’s all-out and soon-to-be all over.
@ Dunghead
Take it easy: The coming nuclear war (Matthew 24), will be started by Putin – in despair because he is losing the war in Ukraine.
Therefore he is seeking yet another war to diverge attention from his Ukraine failure

But Putin is a Chabad Lubavitcher and was anointed in 1993 to be the obedient Messiah of his Jewish Illuminati/Chabadnik masters https://web.archive.org/web/20160414221221/http://johnscarlett.blogspot.com/2006/12/john-scarlett-eggman.html?showComment=1171015020000#c4520962197831706271.
Hewas anointed to attack Israel in an end time scenario planned by his Chabadnik masters – who are hell-bound on fulfilling the Gog-Magog prophecy (Ezekiel 38,39) – even to start from Syria (Isaiah 17).
Only through this Armageddon can their ben David come and make Israel ruler of the world (which it and its Jewish owners in the City of London de facto already are).

Thus, a nuclear war will not start in Ukraine – but in Israel
Hi Yukon Jack.
Always like your posts especially from the old forum LDM,which seems to have gone awol..any clues ?
The level of intellect and articulacy on that site was awesome in the main.Hope LDM is safe and well.
I remember your post about a certain mollusc that attatches itself to certain crab species and essentially takes control of the critter over time.I believe you may…lol have been metaphoring about a specific category of demonics clearly coralling us into the abyss,but l could be wrong.
This one has firmly cemented itself into my psychic architecture.Do you have your own website these days stout yeoman ?
History suggests that America will only help Europe with explosions (destruction of industry and infrastructure), agent orange (chemical weapons), germs (biological weapons) and millions of civilian casualties AFTER Russia has invaded. So they need to keep poking the bear. Yes, America loves to help.
Nevertheless, the war already is very good business for the huge armaments industries in the US, the UK and France to replace the more dated weapons being flushed down the Ukrainian toilet.
@ Sharty..
Nonsnse… the Russian central bank is a paid in member of the BlS and Elvira the wicked witch that heads it up is an lMF creature…. and even though they supposedly stole Russian foreign reserves…
Vlad personally insisted she stay on…
@Anders Bruun Laursen: ‘The author does not see the degrees of freedom between KGB-Putin´s Soviet Russia and the West as worth dying for?’
For a moment or two, I took your remark to be ironic. Then I realised what a meatheaded liar are.

Leave Zelenskyy alone, he is helping de-militarize Ukraine… now apparently double time… Nice warm H a n n u k a h reunion with the family in Florida before contracts in Hollywood… Peace Prize and W o r l d E c o n o m i c F o r u m honors… Go figure…
Clever use of one of Nico’s pseudonyms–he can’t whinge about it like usual because it would be admitting how he cheats. If he did whinge he would say a Christian dog is using his name and Rixon needs to stop the naughty boy–..my mistake, he did admit that it’s one of his names. As Damien Thorn he can admit to being a Satanist, but not as Nico. He has to hide his real self between the bricks in the wall like an arthropod
