Strategic Review – Aug 16, 2024
It is breathtaking what is going on with the offensive into the Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation. This is as close to World War Three taking place as it can get, if not already happening.
This week American President Joe Biden admitted deep U.S. involvement in the invasion of Russia by Ukrainian forces. The complacent, casual admission is shocking. Biden told media that his officials were in “constant contact” with the Kiev regime on the offensive that began on August 6. Biden added with undisguised pleasure that the incursion had created a “real dilemma” for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
It seems likely that the summer offensive will go the same ill-fated way as last year’s offensive by Ukraine that took place in the main war zone area of Donbass, the region which was formerly eastern Ukraine but is now legally part of the Russian Federation. The offensive last summer turned out to be a disaster for Ukrainian forces as superior Russian defenses decimated them. As with this summer’s offensive, there has been much Western media hyping of the initial gains. But the optimism is giving way to the reality that Russian forces are containing the cross-border foray and will eventually expel Ukrainian troops. There are indications that the Ukrainian side has lost over 2,000 casualties over the past 10 days and incurred heavy losses of destroyed NATO military equipment.
Nevertheless, it is alarming what has been embarked on by the NATO-backed regime. This is the first time that Russia has been invaded by a foreign enemy since the Great Patriotic War when Nazi Germany waged its genocidal war. Ironically, a turning point in that war was in the Kursk region when the Red Army defeated the Wehrmacht.
The symbolism of today’s events in Kursk and Belgorod is horrifying. Here we have Ukrainian militants who glorify the Third Reich wearing Nazi helmets while they terrorize Russian civilians. Video footage shows deliberate shelling of civilian homes and apartment blocks in what can only be described as a scorched earth campaign. Up to 200,000 civilians have been evacuated from the Kursk and Belgorod regions.
The invasion force is equipped with NATO tanks and armored vehicles. This is an incredible echo of history whereby German, British, and American tanks are marauding on Russian soil and terrorizing towns and villages. Furthermore, there is reliable reporting that the enemy infantry is made up of NATO special forces from the United States, Britain, France, and Poland alongside the NeoNazis of Ukraine.
In short and shocking terms: NATO has invaded Russia with a terror campaign replicating Nazi Germany.
The United States and its NATO allies officially maintain that they are not involved and that the Kiev regime embarked on this assault independently.
That innocent pretense is contemptible. This duplicity has been going on for too long. The West has been arming a proxy force to the teeth to attack Russia since the CIA coup in Kiev in 2014 which culminated in open warfare in February 2022. The offensive capability of Western weaponry has increased relentlessly to the point where Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin are supplying long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia. Not only that but publicly permitting the use of these weapons.
The NATO side has delivered main battlefield tanks and in recent weeks F-16 fighter jets that potentially are nuclear-capable. Biden this week is reportedly considering approving the supply of JASSM air-launched missiles with a range of over 350 kilometers. The distance from Sudzha in Kursk, reportedly captured by the NATO side this week, to Moscow, is just over 600 km.
There can be little doubt that the invasion of Russia is an offensive signed off by NATO leadership. We have Joe Biden’s clumsy admission of that.
The Kiev regime also admitted that its Western patrons were involved in the planning of the invasion.
Moreover, Nikolai Patrushev, a top Russian intelligence figure, stated that NATO is participating in the invasion.
Former Pentagon analysts have also concurred that for such an audacious military endeavor to take place, the Kiev regime would have required U.S. and other NATO surveillance intelligence and logistics to implement it.
The strategic objective is dubious. The lightning assault may have gained sensational headlines in the Western media and notions of Ukrainian success. But such notions will be short-lived as Russian forces bear down on the enemy with withering firepower, despite a Ukrainian command center supposedly being set up in Sudzha.
Even Western media reports are conceding that the initial Ukrainian-NATO gains are slowing down. There are also Western reports expressing concern that the futile foray will only weaken the already overstretched Ukrainian lines in the main battle region of Donbass which will accelerate Russia’s advances in Ukraine. Moscow is indicating that it will push on without stopping to defeat the Kiev regime.
As with Nazi Germany’s Kursk offensive, the NATO-backed regime will be seen to have recklessly overplayed its hand. The last reserves of its best battalions are taking severe losses in Kursk.
From Russia’s perspective, the NATO invasion per se is not a serious threat. It is a barbaric violation of Russian territory and its citizens. But the assault in itself does not in any way constitute a national security threat. It will be dealt with harshly. The best way to characterize it is a desperate final roll of the dice by the NATO proxy, as our columnist Finian Cunningham wrote this week.
Legally, under international law and the United Nations charter, Russia has every right to retaliate militarily against all those complicit in the latest attack on its territory. Potentially, that could mean Russia’s military hitting the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and other NATO states.
This is as close to World War Three as it can get. One senses that only the calm discipline and strategic prudence of the Russian leadership are preventing the moment from escalating to a global catastrophe. By contrast, one can imagine how the American and NATO leaders would react if the shoe was on the other foot and Russia was somehow orchestrating offensive attacks on their soil.
It’s as well to keep calm. The Kiev regime is collapsing from internal corruption and despotism and Russian forces are steadily proceeding to take down this regime. Kursk and Belgorod – while abominable – are provocations to escalate the conflict. It is the collapsing Western powers that need all-out war to save their necks from systematic, historic failure.
However, there is a fiendish dilemma. There is a danger that the reckless, desperate, and disconnected Western elites will magnify their irrationality and provoke Russia even more. This is happening because Moscow is being too stoic and restrained.
Typical of the irrationality is this article for the Atlantic Council with the headline: “Ukraine’s invasion of Russia is erasing Vladimir Putin’s last red lines”.
The article, which no doubt reflects factions of Western strategic thinking, mockingly states: “The Ukrainian army’s advance into Russia… exposes the emptiness of Vladimir Putin’s red lines and the folly of the West’s emphasis on escalation management.”
In a chilling conclusion, it adds: “Now that the Ukrainian military has crossed the last of Putin’s red lines and invaded Russia without sparking World War III, there are no more excuses for restricting [Kiev’s] ability to defend itself or denying Ukraine the weapons it needs to win the war.”
Thus, Russia’s containment of the NATO invasion is not seen as a reality check on crazed assault. Rather, it is emboldening Western imperialism to double down on its criminal gambling with world security.
In that case, the moment may have arrived when Russia needs to take retaliation in a way that the NATO enemy understands. Russia’s reasoned restraint is insanely misinterpreted as weakness, thereby inciting more NATO insanity.
Vladimir Putin once remarked how dealing with bullies in his younger days growing up in St Petersburg was best done by punching them in the nose before they got out of hand.
As the impudence of Biden and other Western leaders this week shows, the U.S. and NATO’s malicious arrogance towards Russia is that of an insufferable bully who is acting more and more brazenly because of impunity.
This incursion into old Russia is reminiscent of the early SMO when Nazi NATO powers would whine about the lack of targeted penetration through Russian lines.
Of course this was a blame game for the fake Nazi media. Russian lines are impossible to break through, unless you want all your rams dead, and NATO knew this, because they were there on the front lines directing their Nazi war.
What has taken place in Kursk, is a folly of earlier policies, and the Nazis will pay.
The problem is, and I’ve been saying this for a very long time, Putin is goding the Nazis into even more dangerous tactics. Since the SMO, Putin has been far too weak. He’s drawn red lines, and they’ve been crossed many times, and the Russians (Putin) does nothing, literally, nothing.
Putin is a weak war time leader. Others scoffed on here when I said this, but now I’ve been proven right, and if this escalation continues on this trajectory, there’s going to be a full blown nuclear war.
Apart from Putin being deposed, we could see a tactical nuke commander just take matters into their own hands, because this has been legally set up. These commanders have their orders, but they could easily break them.
Biden is a bare faded liar. His sheeple are in touch with MI6/CIA sheeple on the ground in Kursk. This has been going on from the start, but Putin sweeps it under the rug.
There’s got to be serious moves close to the power in Moscow, to remove Putin.
Kiev was founded by Vikings and became Christian, but ha ha! the Turks are back, with their White Man slaves from America: Whitey will win the territory back off Whitey, and permanently lose a lot of biology too!
It’s unlikely ‘Strategic Review’ haven’t worked out that WW3 is a theatrical production, at least on ‘some ‘level’, because of course they are written into the script…
Obviously those that aren’t afflicted with the common malady and generally incurable and inscrutable affliction of drooling imbecility, have utilized their critical thinking skills, having ascertained the universal constant that if it whiffs like bullshit it always is..
That if it looks like like nonsense you aren’t in any way dealing with Truth..
Personally I really enjoy and have a good old chuckle at regime straplines and squirted squid ink that confuses orchestrated scripted nonsense and criminal embezzlement with ‘Russian restraint’… and the discontinuation of the slaughter of women and children as ‘ceasefire’..
usually delivered by an empty suit who’s on the take..
dear dear..
and of course if you believe any of this shit, don’t forget your Monkey Pox vaxxxine..(now rebranded Mpox in the hope you don’t remember the last time they tried to pull the con..when a bunch of poofters unsurprisingly developed lesions on the diddlers at a homo carnal-ville )…
The west should be careful. Russia may decide it has no other option than to push west to the Atlantic to finish off these fascists f**ks once and for all. America would threaten much but do nothing as it descends towards much lower levels of civilisation than when their ancestors first found the place.
Wiping-out Washington and levelling London….
SOLVES this problem.
I’m not sure who wants WW3 the most,,, Western governments or the media!
@ Lewis..
The Turks are actually ‘whiter’ than Americans (certainly the Cities and the senate)…and probably a lot ‘whiter’ than the majority of so called Russians…and lots of Russians are in fact..yup you guessed it..
Turks..
In fact they are indistinguishable from ‘Greeks’ and Southern Italians and perhaps even ‘whiter’…perhaps..
In fact the Turks, whatever that means… because of course there are Turks in Russia….are quite the enigma and probably originated in the Caucasus.. for example the Turkish term for Cossack is Kazak which of course means free man… and no doubt the Cossacks are ‘white’ as are the Georgians etc etc..
but not more so than Turks..
and maybe not as white as you, because you are a Boer, but definitely whiter than David Lammy who is the British Foreign minister… perhaps a better term would be …
Lighter…
Aside from what’s going on, Biden is the fall guy. He’s been stitched up like a kippe, should this go down a legal avenue, and he’s never going to stand trial, because he’s in no fit state, and this is the danger. Senior members of US Nazi regime will be laying paper and electronic trails to Biden, which he’s never seen, and this will be their defence, should it get that far, which I doubt.
I said this when Trump waded into the swamp and was pulled up on legal infractions, and I said that all US presidents should have good independent legal counsel so they don’t stitch themselves up. If Biden had independent legal counsel, the likes of Kirby and Blinkin would find it much harder to dump the blame on Biden.
The truth is, Obama is the deep states president, and he’ll be running the show no matter who wins in November.
the global catastrph will start in israhell .
not in Ukraine .
@CARL JONES
YES SOFT JEWLOVING PUTIN HAS TO GO
to make space for an slavic aryan native russian leader ,
a second IVAN GROßNY hardliner to protect mother russia .
Man,,, does media want WW3 or what!
Why is this incursion so significant? It was defeated rapidly, and most of the invaders were killed, badly wounded or caputured.
Oh, and a huge lot of equipment, including Bradleys, was destroyed.
This is not the first time that the Biden crime syndicate has admitted US involvement.

Follow the money. Ukraine at one time was the breadbasket of Europe. The war has caused the Ukrainian citizens to abdicate their farms, which are now in another’s ownership, killed off the men who worked these farms by sending them to war, taking out another food source to future starve populations.
Use of corn ethanol was not because of the environment. By mixing it in petrol vehicle fuel took farmland out of food production. US Department of Agriculture’s austere totalitarian Bolshevik maneuvers since FDR drove family owned farms out of business into large corporation farming. In turn, a number of large investors including Crypto Jew Bill Gates now own vast tracts of fertile US farmland. Gates is said to own over 109,265 hectares.
Now there is talk of taking out Zalenski. It is just talk. It is the truthers they are now silencing, most recent being the UK patriots ( https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=292955 UK’s crackdown on free speech in light of migrant crisis should not be viewed in a vacuum by Leo Hohmann | Aug 15, 2024), the Brasilian doctors killed in an aircraft accident, about to expose evidence tying mRNA “vaccines” to turbo cancers.
Follow the money. By destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines, now alternative suppliers controlled by the KM profit. Ownership of vast swaths of land takes land out of production. Destruction of indigenous neighbourhoods and criminalisation of the indigenous ppl has a similar motive of profit and ownership.
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they execute it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away; thus they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore thus saith HaShem: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk upright; for it shall be an evil time.
