The Zapad battlegroup also inflicted losses on three Ukrainian brigades in Novoyegorovka, Ternov, Torskoye and Krasny Liman and repelled a counterattack by the 14th mechanized brigade.

The Russian Zapad battlegroup has liberated another settlement in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reports.

“Units of the Zapad battlegroup, through active and decisive actions, have liberated the settlement of Novosadovoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic,” the MoD report stated.

The Zapad group also inflicted losses on personnel and equipment of three Ukrainian brigades in the areas of Novoyegorovka in the Kharkov region, Ternov, Torskoye and Krasny Liman in the DPR, and repelled a counterattack by an assault group of the 14th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“The enemy lost over 470 servicemen, three U.S.-made M113 armored personnel carriers, six vehicles, a Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system, a 152mm D-20 howitzer, a 122mm Gvozdika self-propelled artillery unit, and a 122mm D-30 howitzer. Three field ammunition depots were destroyed,” the report added.

The Ukrainian prosecutor’s office has opened 51,000 cases of desertion through the first nine months of 2024. The number of soldiers abandoning their posts is likely to double last year’s total. 

The Times of London reported data from the Ukrainian government showing that “51,000 criminal cases were initiated for desertion and abandonment of a military unit between January and September of this year.” El Pais previously noted that 45,000 Ukrainians were being prosecuted for desertion from the start of the year through August. Al-Jazeera says the number is at least 30,000 desertions. 

At the start of the year, Kiev was estimated to have between 500,000 and 800,000 active-duty soldiers and an additional 300,000 reservists. The Ukrainians have also sustained casualties fighting to defend from Russian advances and amid Kiev’s Kursk invasion. 

Kiev has struggled to fill its ranks with fresh soldiers, leading Ukraine to drop its conscription age from 27 to 25. As Kiev is still facing manpower shortages, American politicians are pushing Ukraine to drop draft age to 18. Ukraine has also resorted to allowing prisoners to leave jail if they join the military

The US puppet in Ukraine is feeling hot and sweaty.  Europe has lost interest, his UkroNats have lost patience, and Russia is plodding steadily to Kiev and Odessa.  The solution?  Zelensky wants “his” nukes back from Russia, and if he keeps this up, perhaps he will get them, pointy end first.

Meanwhile, the moral high ground always claimed by US government – whether in Ukraine or the Middle East or Taiwan or Central America or the flyover states – has collapsed like the I-40 in North Carolina.

The scam kings and consorts in Washington, DC have created a royal world of manners in which they live and function.  The presidency is Potemkin, and in our elections, as James Bovard explains, “voters merely have a cameo role to sanctify the nearly boundless power of officialdom.”

This world of manners is what we are all told is the “rule-based system” whereby the US serves as kindly globocop, who only occasionally takes a little kickback from the “protected” souls.  Like with the US soldiers in northern Syria, guarding Conoco oil extraction.  This is why when a US president ordered troops withdrawn from Syria, the permanent bureaucrats just patted him on the head. They always know better than the people.  They prefer a brain dead president, like Biden, and if not that, one with a head filled with a fluffy self righteousness and just a touch of fascism will do just fine.

As Americans, we have two problems.  First, we the people didn’t design these rules, didn’t agree to them, and frankly would never consent to them, if we knew how they worked.  That’s kind of a big problem.  Second, the power exerted by government “embeds” – the media kind, the business kind, the protective racket kind – is for lack of a better word, octopussified.  But unlike the James Bond thriller, the thieves and racketeers Mischka and Grischka operate out of DC.

Harvest Time🔥 First N.Korean Flag Spotted🌏 Putin Challenges The Dollar⚔️ Military Summary 2024.10.21

Speculation abounds about the purpose of Lloyd Austn’s visit to Kiev yesterday. Of note, he travelled by train – presumably because the Russians dominate Ukrainian airspace.

It doesn’t look like the Dutch F-16’s are taking an active role – the three we know that have been delivered or the full complement of 24 that are past due.

As son as the long range missiles – prepared fully by the US and UK military – right up to the push of the “fire” button – one can reasonably expect the Russia to begin similar attacks on US ad UK targets deep inside the US and UK – military targets or within the proximity of military targets.

This will bring us to seconds away from a full nuclear missile exchange.

Reports that the North Korea flag  has been raised in a freshly captured Ukrainian city – amidst rumours of the deployment of some 15,000 North Korea troops – has created a major escalation to global security dangers – the report could be Russia troops “pranking” Ukrainians, though where the Russians would get a North Korean flag is anybody’s guess.

Let’s not forget that China has surrounded Taiwan with its navy and is buzzing the island with its air force – an “exercise” – or that Israel is about to respond to the latest Iranian missile and drone attacks – whilst the Iranians are, no doubt, readying their response to that response – ad so it goes on.

The attack of the drones in a new world war beckons as well as a nuclear exchange!
