35-year-old Ukraine Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov was removed from his position about a month ago. Despite being heralded as the reason for Ukraine’s successful defense and strikes against Russia, there was internal friction about control of the war spending (ie ‘procurement). The old guard military leaders were unwilling to give up their ability to enrich themselves and their families, Fedorov was removed by President Zelenskyy.
In this CBS interview with Fedorov the young outsider, who is still connected to the war effort and holds strong relationships with both Palantir (Alex Karp) and SpaceX (Elon Musk), outlines the current status of the conflict and gives his predictions on what comes next.
Fedorov states that Ukraine ballistic missiles should be online within three to six months. He also predicts the ground conflict will be fully autonomous within a year, with robots and drones engaged in most of the combat operations. As a consequence, Eastern Ukraine is now the real time proving ground for an entirely new type of technological warfare.
The interview is interesting both from a narrative perspective, the Hollywood-lite construct which includes elements of the former ‘find Kony’ performances, the youthful drama – David vs Goliath, the handsome characters etc., and from a perspective of Fedorov’s contemplative responses. WATCH:
When Fedorov speaks of “destroying 200 Russians” (6:28 of video), he is speaking about destroying the 200 Wildberries warehouses the Ukraine government is convinced will result in the collapse the Russian economy.
If you get the feeling -a general sense- that we are watching a scripted performance of sorts, that’s because we are.
World War Reddit continues.
Remember when the air-raid sirens were sounded exactly at the moment when Joe Biden was walking through Kiev with Zlenenskyy?
At the end of all of this effort is the EU/NATO goal of a fully operational war against Russia. No reasonable person in the EU wants this outcome, no ordinary citizen in the U.K wants war with Russia and only a tiny percentage of Americans would support it. However, 80% of the British/EU political class and around 75% of the Washington DC political class would immediately welcome this outcome.
Europe is burning through their spending of the confiscated €300 billion Russian sovereign wealth fund. The money will be completely gone within a year as it is the funding mechanism for almost all Ukraine support. When you think about this in very practical terms, this makes the EU war against Russia a foregone conclusion.
In my opinion, the decision to spend that confiscated Russian asset wealth is what changed in early June when Zelenskyy visited King Charles in London. What was once avoidable is now ultimately only a matter of time.
Unless someone is willing to step into the finance side and repay Russia, a western conflict with the Russian Federation to avoid the issue seems to be the overwhelming likelihood. In the interim, Eastern Ukraine remains a meat grinder.
“However, 80% of the British/EU political class and around 75% of the Washington DC political class would immediately welcome this outcome.”
If anything those numbers are probably too low, sad to say.
It is their personal grift they want to keep going!
They can’t directly steal Russia’s money without risking Russia killing them!
“They can’t directly steal Russia’s money without risking Russia killing them!”
They do have a way to spend Russia’s money. And, true to the outcome of all socialist’s plans, they will eventually run out of, as Margaret Thatcher said: “other people’s money”:
“Europe is burning through their spending of the confiscated €300 billion Russian sovereign wealth fund. The money will be completely gone within a year as it is the funding mechanism for almost all Ukraine support.”
Not sure. But they are the real enemy. And that enemy wants all of us dead.
🙏
Did someone say “British political class”???
Look what happened to the Royal Navy after ol’ Tony Blair and David Cameron set the U.K. into “managed decline” . . .
Russia will not allow Ukraine to deploy ballistic missiles.
I think it’s time for someone to provide targeting information to Russia that includes little Z’s location.
🎯
‘Russia will not allow Ukraine to deploy ballistic missiles’
Russia will not allow the see eye ah and Europe to teach Ukraine to deploy nuclear missiles – there I have fixed it.
I hold the same exact opinion. No how, no way that Russia under putin (or other) is going to stand by and have Ukraine with the capability of launching ballistic, whether conventional or not.
I see Russia getting well ahead of this and doing the unimaginable. I do. Of a false flag from Ukraine, which has likely been the case in several other “episodes”.
Will that region go nuclear isn’t the question, it’s when.
the danger of having Ukraine with ballistics takes us ALL right up to the 23:59:59 hour. There is no room for error in that space.
Now would be the time that President Trump and Putin have that talk and find a way to stablize the region.
for example, when I read that President Trump was initially talking about licensing patriots so that UKR could manufacture them, and then quickly walked that back (for now), I understood that as a form of pressure to have Russia start serious negotiations. It was a very risky move. I didn’t find it inspiring. No reason to have the US become part of a much larger problem.
so the question is how ukr will acquire ballistics and much more effective drones and the intelligence that is required to deploy them. if that is their goal?
I pray that President Trump does not provide that kind of resource to UKR. We are all screwed if he does. Russia is not going to simply pack it up and go back home. That makes this war much much difficult to manage without making a nuclear error.
God Bless America
Agree, however a false flag attack inside one of the EU countries seems like a higher probability. A false flag hit inside Ukraine wouldn’t raise anyone’s blood pressure high enough to draw the EU into the war with Russia they want.
And regi, the U.S. military action in Iran will be a litmus test for the EU to pay attention to, but they won’t, due to arrogance and hubris, as is the recent decision to stop funding military exercises with South Korea.
The EU needs the US to assist with, and in most cases facilitate and carry out that war with Russia, you know, cuz our NATA agreement. However, the EU and England have already decided not to assist a NATO ally (the US), on multiple occasions.
As with all liberals/commies, they will pretend not to know things and still act shocked when the US tells NATO this is not our war; people, not Treepers, have already forgotten that the US has pulled back and continues to pull back on providing training.
Trump hasn’t done the legwork and made alliances in the Middle East for nothing, nor shored up our relationship with Japan, all while maintaining Russia and China at bay with Iran (yes, yes, providing information….but, it’s no different than the US with Ukraine).
You can add US mouth breathing citizens and Uniparty pols to the list of the shocked when the US doesn’t provide support to any effort by NATO allies with Russia.
I agree, and an appropriate question, albeit rhetorical with a known answer, would be:
How is Ukraine engineering, designing, funding, and then building ballistic missiles when they don’t even have the money to fund their own government?
I would also ask, “How does the EX-Ukrainian military anything go and do an interview like this without it being viewed as giving up secret and valuable wartime information?” Sundance already summed it up…
And, of course, robotic…Ukraine is running out of men to send to be annihilated.
I’m really surprised the Russians haven’t taken him out already.
I can’t understand why the Z man is still alive.
Ukraine has already has short range ballistic missiles: US-made M39 ATACMS. They started getting those in 2023. The ATACMS Ukraine has access to can only range about 100 miles. Other variants go further.
The UK was supposedly developing a ballistic missile specifically for Ukraine, “Project Nightfall.” (I wonder if this is where the so called “Ukraine-developed” Flamingo is actually coming from.) https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-to-develop-new-deep-strike-ballistic-missile-for-ukraine
UKR supposedly also has a domestically produced “Long Neptune” cruise missile with a 600 mile range. That and drones are what they have used on Moscow so far.
Russia can eliminate the piano player any time them want.
The second they determine it is in their best interest they will.
To paraphrase aa line from the Godfather movie , It’s war Sonny nothing personal ,just war.
And the Bear will rise up and destroy much flesh
Medea and Persia?
That 300 billion Russian money should be paid to the United States, to repay us for the 300 Biden sent to Ukraine.
No, it’s Russia’s money. Stealing is stealing.
Ukraine and EU (+UK) owe Russia what they stole-
BHO, JB, and all their “gang” owe America much more than that.
I’d settle for a pound of flesh … swing from ropes.
the 300 billion that bidet gave to ukraine didn’t leave the usa, it was just a digital laundry ride thru ukraine on it’s way into the demonrat and rinorat party global coffers.
yeah, what’d they call ’em?

Chasing Nancy Pelosi’s bus to nowhere – POLITICO
Some lawmakers had already boarded the large blue bus, emblazoned with the U.S. Air Force logo and the words “Integrity, Service, Excellence,” when President Donald Trump put a swift end to it all.
Parked outside the Rayburn House Office Building on Thursday, they were prepared to slip out of town quietly on a military jet for a secret trip to visit troops in a Middle East war zone.
It soon became a bus to nowhere.
Note: altho ostensibly a flight to US Military destinations, the gravy stop was to be in Brussels
lol
Hell no. The US started this damn war, think Victoria Newland. That money belongs to Russia and Russia alone. How many countries will trust the US if their money is at risk of it being taken away? We have no right to anyone elses money.

When you are ugly on the inside, it eventually makes its way to the outside.
Larger version.
If those are of the same person, she got her nose caught in the trough.
Why insult pigs? This one is a demon.
Do the globalist war pigs really think Russia will capitulate without using nukes?
Hypersonic missiles with high grade explosives will do just as much damage without the fallout and they can’t be shot down with a Patriot so there’s that.
EMP ends the games, hope someone knows how to live in the 1860s
Worse than 1860s. Everyone back then had toolsheds and knowledge to use those tools. Now, maybe 5% of the population would be at that level, 10% if you’re being very generous and you include everyone running back to their parents or grandparents.
And if you’re using a nuke for the EMP blanket you still have radioactive fallout.
I believe that you may be correct… such a scarcity of common sense & problem-solving.
latest block patriot would like you to hold beer.
at least two instances of real world hypers HAVE been zeroed out with patriots.
Kinzhal Intercepts
also noting: no reference is serious without context. These were the latest block patriots with a well trained and resourced battery group (US of course), and the hypers they targeted were in a very special condition both in terms of launch phase and actionable intelligence.
so these were special cases. You overall statement is true….hypersonics deployed with sophistication are practically impossible to shoot down, especially if they are not actually doing a long distance ballistic trajectory. It’s time and space. Close that, and there aren’t any defenses against such weapons.
circle back to nukes. I have a different opinion about nukes. One I would prefer not to be true, but probably is. If given the right kind of threat..the grave danger kind, I have little doubts that either of these two countries would deploy nukes.
what are some kinds of grave risks that would provoke that kind of response?
all the sort of things we are already seeing: attacks against major infrastructure that have the impact of knocking out fundamental capacity to make war and defend.
answer: major energy production and delivery systems. You take that too far, and it’s likely Russia OR Ukraine decides that nukes will be the only way to survive.
it’s not something I want to happen, but ever element of this war has been speeding along that inevitable outcome.
At some point, healthy, non drunk, morally responsible GOD FEARING PEOPLE are going to have to get involved and bring an end to this madness. I was hoping it could be President Trump. I still think he has a shot at it, but at this point, I go with just about anyone that can move that along and make it happen.
God Bless America
Exactly!
👏 👍
Agree 100%!
Why would Russia use nukes when it has
Oreshnik..Hazel…and other missiles?
In these modern times, Nukes are what Losers would use.
A verification that they have no conventional weapons to
match. 🤷♀️
Ever play a board game growing up and you have a bratty sibling
who is losing and they tip over the board?
Same thing! 🤷♀️
Russia is winning….why would they resort to using Nukes?
Their “ jet drones “ have just started being used.
Ukraine is hitting Wildberries….a civilian online Amazon type business.🙄🤡
Zelensky isn’t winning on the frontlines — so he targets civilian facilities.
Loser move! ♟️♟️

ORIKHIV STORMED ⚔️ KRAMATORSK 4 KM AWAY 🏰 70 JET DRONES HIT UKRAINE 🚀 Military Summary 2026.08.16
Like the fallout from Nagasaki or Hiroshima. They had the cities rebuilt in five years populated moving along with very few issues after a treaty was signed of course. Then one must look into the Antarctica Treaty 190 nations have signed onto in the 60s and it’s still valid. There’s more than meets the Eye.
Apparently they don’t care.
Supposedly Russia does have a military doctrine of “Escalate to De-Escalate.” They would intentionally ramp up their attacks beyond what the other side expects would happen to frighten the other side to back down. Use of tactical nukes is explicitly part of the plan.
The US Nuclear Posture Review from 2018, for example, stated that “Russian strategy and doctrine emphasize the potential coercive and military uses of nuclear weapons. It mistakenly assesses that the threat of nuclear escalation or actual first use of nuclear weapons would serve to ‘de-escalate’ a conflict on terms favorable to Russia.”
Would they actually do that? Or were they only bluffing? Are US claims that Russia will use nukes just a ploy by the US Military-Intelligence Industrial Complex to get more resources? Nobody wants to find out.
The Terminator has arrived, but it’s a dog, not Arnold Schwarzenegger! No human soldier can compete with this!
Propaganda.
You can call it propaganda but if hundreds of these things scramble over rough terrain at double the speed that a man can run, with bombs attached, tell me your Plan A, B and C to neutralize these suckers and escape without heavy casualties.
I served back in the 60s and 70s and my platoon could not have handled this stuff!
As an ex-infantryman I agree, these type of weapons are very scary to defend against. Maybe a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range? 🤔
It could be true but so many of these demonstrations have been questionable because there has frequently been a little guy off camera quietly, but furiously, working his fingers on a remote control.
EMP’s will render them useless.
Along with most everything else
There are limited range EMPs but yes everything in that area would be useless. Think about how vulnerable all these Data centers are.
Yep
Do you carry and EMP gun in your pocket? How many drones in a swarm now, so what if the same number of these dogs are turned lose in the US and just told to go and do?
Exactly, SherryOfTexas!
“an” & “loose,” lol
Spoken with the absolute confidence of someone who’s never served in the military! I have, and these dogs put the fear of God in me!
They are also editing the genetics of their human soldiers, and have been working on it for years (as have the western militaries). A few churches have been warning about this for years (long before 2020) as it relates to mRNA injections.

AI graphics.
You can buy one for 40 grand!
Interesting little fact….. at a western US lab, where the robot work is ongoing, there are designs and prototypes of a robo dog and a robo man….. twenty feet tall, and fifty feet tall. The three legged man like design can not fall over and can run at ‘high speed’, according to a leaked document… Imagine a fifty foot tall robot…..yikes!
I’ll try not to imagine that!
These guys calling this thing propaganda have likely never served in the military. I did, and my platoon could not have handled these dogs if they had bombs strapped to them!
A bunch of claymores would work for the first batch but after that….
China is also building thousands of humanoid robots and teaching them how to run and fight. They are using the same strategy – high production volume, as cheap as possible, get them out into the real world and use them to rapidly gain experience and accumulate data.
“Physical AI” is the blanket term for the technology.
If they figure out longer battery life, to keep running for more than just a few hours, then these monsters could get dangerous.

“We must make haste and get to our destination. I don’t know how much longer the passengers can stand their luxurious accommodations!”
I know nothing, but “…Eastern Ukraine is now the real time proving ground for an entirely new type of technological warfare…” sounds like a behind the scenes “tech bro/war hawk” reason for the war to continue. The godless want to develop technology for profit and since they are godless they don’t care how many lives are lost on either side. They just want to build stuff and see if their stuff works so they can get even richer. What a waste.
“Unless someone is willing to step into the finance side and repay Russia, a western conflict with the Russian Federation to avoid the issue seems to be the overwhelming likelihood.”
President Trump should refuse flat-out to provide any more funding for that war, whether to repay Russia or for any other purpose. The compromised in Congress will demand funding, but PT should veto anything they try to do. With nothing coming from the U.S. to help them out, including refusing to go to war with Russia, I think it is just as possible that the EU will collapse. They might provoke or even initiate a war with Russia out of desperation, but if PT staunchly refuses to go along, the EU will disintigrate and many of the member governments will change as well, and probably the UK along with them. And all that would be the best of all possible outcomes.
I 2nd the veto.
Make the CONgressional war pigs… declare war or stfu.
agree 100%, D One.
UKR is NOT a NATO member, and even if it were,
we are not absolutely bound to defend it if i understand the provisions correctly.
doing our best Swiss impersonation, we should remain absolutely NEUTRAL.
any aggression against Russia by anybody gets met with
a diplomatic “let us know how that works out” response.
we offer aid and support to NO ONE if the lunatics pushing this prevail.
this is just CRAZY.
the EU pursuing war with Russia?
the number$ must be astronomical to even contemplate such a stupid, stupid, stupid,
counterproductive, diabolical, geopolitical disaster and disregard of human life such as this.
to quote the song, tell me where is sanity?
NATO Article V says any member nation can decide not to go to war to defend another NATO country if the country decides in not in it’s best interest.
No American president would dare go to war in Europe. Not.happening.
It’s been done a couple of times before.
“Eastern Ukraine is now the real time proving ground for an entirely new type of technological warfare.”
and there it is!!!!!!!
What the last few years have shown me is everything is fake. People in these positions of “power” just literally make crap up to fit their needs. We are too large of a society for real accountability in the current power structure: top-down. I’ve said it before in comments here, but we need to focus on local control.
Turn out is abysmal in local and state elections during off-cycle elections. That’s how places like KY, LA, etc have democrat governors when the vote is overwhelming R during presidential elections. Doug Jones, the democrat, got Sessions Alabama Senate seat because no one bothered to show up to vote. Real power, real change can come from working people voting more than once every four years.
Well, ya know……..if voting mattered, they wouldnt let you do it.
Think about that, in the context of 2020, and you have your answers….
And beyond that, who says these leftist dirtbag Governors were voted in, fair and square?
Elections HAVE NOT been secured. End of that story, right there.
I have long said, most if not all wars are field testing of new equipment.
maybe even biological warfare weapons development and testing…if i were russia i wouldn’t like that either
I just hope we will stay out of it. I think Europe thinks they can provoke it and we will fight it.
Yes, especially if they can somehow get rid of President Trump.
So Ukraine is escalating the conflict.. no surprise here.. Hopefully Trump gives the go ahead to slap this little POS upside the head and end this US sponsored/created aggression..
Ukraine is not winning on the battlefield, so…
Seriously, SD, watch your 6. These evil people hate truth and sunshine and anyone who brings it.
Our host, most certainly does that. Not that I know this for sure, but it is pretty much a guarantee. I know I sure as hell would!
I am confused about this war. We call it world war reddit because the drone warfare is made up? Then we talk about the meat grinder where loads of young men are conscripted and sent to die. My little brain cannot wrap itself around this seeming dichotomy.
Maybe the meat grinder rhetoric was all propaganda. Maybe there aren’t thousands dead weekly. Maybe it’s all a lie. Wag the Dog.
We have seen almost no photo evidence of any “meat-grinder.”
Where are the picture of the battlefields with thousands of dead lying around?
It could be a myth.
fROGG…have you seen MILITARY cemeteries in the UKRAINE..???
Have you been there? Or are you looking at photographs or depictions put out by the media? Remember media photos don’t even come into a Courtroom. They are not considered evidence, they are considered hearsay.
Col MacGregor says 1.6M dead Ukrainians.
Why so high? Because you have to pay your comrades to evacuate yourself if you are injured. No money = you die where you fall and bleed out.
I had not read Sundance’s post from yesterday August 16, 2026, entitled “Ukraine Celibrates Launching Largest Attack Drone Swarm of the War To Date” when I wrote my comments. Sundance talks about World War Reddit and the illusion and is an important read if you missed it.
I was thrilled to see I am in such good company. I had been saying this for some time and my husband and son said basically, “that’s just silly.”
Now I don’t feel silly at all. I am an old woman but my feet are on the ground. My exhusband who is now deceased was military intelligence in Vietnam which meant that he had an office job. He told me all he did was manufacture body counts for propaganda. This I think damaged him in many ways. He became terribly cynical. Sad. I am sure this is doing the same to those involved in creating the current illusion.
“Battlefields” like those in WWI and WWII don’t really exist in modern warfare. 🦕
Technology via satellite detects any large numbers of personnel and equipment.
There are plenty of pictures. You just won’t find them on Faux News or any
MSM News.
Heck….Faux News and MSM won’t even give nightly or weekly recaps of frontlines…and it’s not just because they are so stupid they can’t read a map!
Recommend Patrick Lancaster….he has been up and down the 1k mile frontlines since it started…..9 years ago😉😉 before the Russian SMO…when Ukraine was shelling and killing Russian speaking people in Ukraine.
You won’t see any “War Porn” …of decaying dead bodies on his YouTube. You will get a view of the frontlines and troops there. There are other sites with that.🤷♀️
Unless people have a strong stomach and a realistic view of how brutal death can be during war, I don’t recommend the grisly coverage. Most people can’t handle it.
Some things you just cannot..un-see…🤢🤢🤮
I offer prayers for those that I have seen….🙏✝️💔

I’ve been praying without success for the end to this useless, senseless war! Now it looks like it will continue for at least another year???? Good grief!!! I thought for sure that President Trump could end this war but apparently not!!! President Trump can’t overcome our IC, the Euroweenies and the neocons and warmongers in DC! Only God can in His timing and His way! Hosanna!
Putin has said it is existential for Russia. Either Russia will win on the ground or Europe will be nuked. The choice is whatever the EU wants. Maybe the Mullahs and the EU are both suicidal? Both may hate themselves enough to destroy their own civilizations. You cannot fix crazy.
I believe the importance of drones. The side with the most effective will gain ground. Our spending on Naval ships and Billion Dollar bombers that are manned is a waste of money. The side with the most, most effective, and most synchronized drones will be a super power. Warfare is undergoing a turning.
I firmly believe that having the most powerful Navy on earth is equally as important as having supremacy in the sky and space.
Drones are like arrows, lethal arrows to be sure. But someone, somewhere, out of survival instincts, will invent something that will bring them to their demise. Consider the bow and arrows vs the Gatling gun.
The U.S. needs to turn inward with regard to technology and bring manufacturing and invention back home where it belongs. President Trump is trying to do that. Unfortunately we have an ethically bankrupt House and Senate that purposely circumvents his every effort to save this country from their themselves. In turn, they sacrifice the people that put them in power.
Nothing will change until the citizens vote in people who have proven themselves as true believers of the greatness of this country and themselves. 2026 is critical to that effort.

For every weapon invented, a counter weapon is invented. 🤷♀️
Russia has repeatedly proven that.
And they are doing it at a remarkable pace.😖
The best example…..Turtle tanks!🐢🐢
At the beginning of the SMO Russian tanks were being
hit by drones.
So, a bunch of bored Russian coal miners came up with
a solution! And it worked! I have seen some great ingenuity
by those on the Russian frontlines by the people and troops!
Forget the “ bells and whistles “…if it works- use it. Might not be
flashy and pretty…but it works. That is their priority.
A major gripe of mine for a long time has been that our 🇺🇸 MIC
the motto seems to be…..Profit before Product. 🤬
It is all about the money. 💰

Thank you for this.🙂
You are most welcome!
There are surface drones and submarine drones already. Can you imagine an attack fleet of submarine drones? They will shut down any port or shipping lane.
You are assuming that there are no reciprocal drone submarines or, just as likely, some other defensive mechanism.
I am sure all of these things have been taken into consideration and planned for by the foremost leading countries throughout the west. Unfortunately. The Biden Administration set us back years.
Drone warfare can be effective and is significant, but thus far is not having much effect on the actual battlefield, where Russia still gains territory.
Terry…to the Mullahs it is also existential war…..we see that after 5.5months…btw.. they said NO … to extention of CEASFIRE…..
I think the entities that successively brought to fruition Operation Paperclip, MK Ultra, and Project Monarch want a meat grinder going. Cern has Shiva in front of it, and is reportedly named after Cernnunos. The gods they worship are luciferian.

Knowing most here have not seen Spielberg’s latest ‘Disclosure Day’, the powers that be are preparing us for something very, very dark and occultic. He uses the monarch symbol intentionally. Hidden in plain sight.
DJT needs to state plainly, clearly and LOUDLY that the US will not protect any dopey EU / NATO country which, in his opinion, has provoked a Russian reprisal and / or open warfare with Russia. NATO is a defensive arrangement, not an offensive one and POTUS will not allow it to be bastardized and / or redefined as same, in order to protect a country which proactively and intentionally engaged in risky behavior. Instead, the US will hold fast to the original intent of the agreement.
This needs to happen now, BEFORE the ballistic missiles inevitably begin falling on Western Europe.
This war has an inauthentic feel for me. I can’t believe the Ukrainians are this ignorant of history and critical thinking skills. I am waiting for the embedded war correspondents.
He looks rather well fed and healthy for a soldier. Not at all like the WWII soldiers looked after years of war. He is also too happy. Suspicious cat.

Criminals. All the politicians.
War is about money. Disgusting
No one in the government but maybe a few care about the after effects of the COVID jab and 100’s of thousands lives have been ruined.
The war is the modern simulation of future autonomous warfare. Perhaps it was designed for the next battlefield and this is the entire direction. A testing and breeding grounds with no end in mind. Data and function need to be captured for all the new modern warfare.
If it doesn’t make traditional sense and it is a propaganda war. Perhaps it is by design.
I’ve followed you daily for years because I like your unique perspectives on events.
But your stance on the evil of Zelenskyy (Ukraine) and the virtue of the Russian perspectives (Putin) on this conflict continues to astonish me.
There is truly a single person responsible for this carnage, and its Putin, not Zelenskyy.
Even the almighty Trump can’t sway him.
wow, you must’ve missed a few articles then
Not close enough have you..
(Your none to clever deprecating description of President Trump gives you away. We call ’em as we see ’em.)
Ukraine is a nation that houses a lot of biolabs, is a hub for human trafficking, and money laundering for the elites, and Russia is the problem?
Perhaps Putin (who is no saint by any means) is only trying to save the “Russian territories” in Ukraine from the degeneracy that is Ukraine.
Really similar mind set for those of us living in red parts of deep blue dumocrat ran states that would love to secede and gain independence to join a more civilized, common sense state!
Totally and spectacularly wrong. The people who are entirely responsible for this carnage are Obama and his globalist handlers. Putin has been fighting a defensive war against these blood-thirsty demons from day one. Perhaps you should look for the truth somewhere other than from the MSM liars.
Bless your heart.
LOL! I would surmise, you have never heard of Victoria Nuland.
Or……you are a Demotard, looking to stir the pot with outlandish claims.
Either way, pretending not to know things is frowned upon at CTH, where pretending is not on the menu.
The Truth has no agenda… Hat Tip X 1,000 to Sundance.
Ukraine: Estimates put Chinese-origin components at ~85% for simple FPV drones, and up to 97% in some analyses of Ukrainian-made systems. Ukraine has localized more airframes and assembly, but critical items (sensors, optics, semiconductors, batteries, magnets) still overwhelmingly come from China. Imports of Chinese drones/components have run into the hundreds of millions to over $1 billion in recent years. Some progress on domestic production exists, but full independence remains limited.
Russia: Chinese parts form the majority (often cited as 65–92% of foreign components) in Geran/Shahed-type attack drones, FPV systems, and others. China has enabled Russia to scale production dramatically (e.g., engines labeled as “cooling units,” microchips, batteries, carbon fiber). Russian factories and networks source heavily from Chinese firms, sometimes via intermediaries.
Shared supply chain: Ukrainian and Russian buyers frequently purchase from the same Chinese factories and suppliers (especially in Shenzhen/Guangdong industrial zones). Chinese companies manage logistics and schedules so the two sides do not meet. New components and technologies often appear nearly simultaneously on both sides of the front.

China Copies America’s Futuristic “Sub-Second Detect-To-Fire” Anti-Drone Swarm Dome Gun
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Aug 15, 2026 – 08:45 AM
“China appears to have replicated a next-generation counter-drone system we first covered in mid-July. The system uses a multi-barrel hemispherical array that reduces much of the latency associated with conventional turrets, shortening the sensor-to-shooter engagement cycle. Beijing’s apparent interest reflects the design’s potential as a next-generation counter-UAS system capable of engaging drone swarms approaching simultaneously from multiple directions…”
(Because Chyna is great at copying.
Innovation – not so much…- D_I)

Heads I win tails you lose. China wins regardless?
Ukraine is NATOs and USAs testing ground for new weapons ….. Until Russia says Nyet, and attacks EU manufacturers.
Any USA president who goes to war for the EU will wish he hadn’t been born.
Russia has been hitting quite a few of those
EU/US manufacturing plants…in Ukraine.
Most who have been following SMO closely, have commented
that no doubt Russia knows where all of those facilities are!
Neo-cons like Mike Pompeo have many “ business interests “ in Ukraine.
Mike Pompeo: ‘Ukraine Has an Enormously Bright Future’
I have no sympathy should he and others lost big money 💰 in Ukraine.
Should have invested in our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You have to wonder, is this a war or a giant live training exercise being used as a distraction and a heist.
The international situation today is terrifying. Ballistic missiles in Europe and the oil well? Financially we are toast. So are the EU and Russia and Parthia. Where has the money ended up? China is not the answer. They are in deep trouble also.
The primitives are over the borders because they are hungry. Socialism sends the money somewhere. I guess to NY and London. Trump needs to bring things home now. It will take Parthia a decade to rebuild. We need the time to disassemble our socialist/banker state.
robots on the ground. Not boots on the ground. At first you might thing this is a good idea. No human cost. No unnecessary risk to human life.
BOY have I got bad news for you.
all wars are about energy. all of them. Resources/energy/oil.
what does winning a war look in a robot war?
how do you measure it?
where are the pressures to end a war and to sign a treatise if the human cost is not the reason to end it?
will robots sign the treatise too?
this war, the one we are seeing play out and evolve into a robotic/AI war is so dangerous. We have made war cheap…easy…and the costs are a couple thousand for a new drone to fly…
it’s strange to think about, but without the human toll of war…the tragedy, the raw emotions of loss of human life and dignity, what are the reasons to end them?
in my view, looking into what comes next, is the ease in which wars are created…the ease in which a nation can say to its people…we are not going to send your sons and daughters into the terror. Isn’t that nice? We are going to spare you from the loss of your loved one’s. But you see, this country over there, they are a serious national security threat…So we have to do something about that. We will send drones. Drones will do the work. Drones will answer to the risk.
And we can all sit back and watch endless drone wars…over….energy.
there are no winners in a war where humans do not experience the costs…
just endless wars.
God Bless America
We are starting to see it in Ukraine and Russia. Russia is destroying the energy generation, the gas stations, and the warehouses. Warfare is going to be a whole population equation. Ukraine wants to make the Russian People cry Uncle. We are moving into uncharted areas with this new technology.
All wars have only been about two things……
Routes and Resources.
Period.
Historically proven. 👩🏫
All else…all the reasons given to “justify” wars…are just smoke and mirrors.
Michael Yon has done some informative videos regarding this. 👏👍
Its All Staged BS. All of it.
“Inside Russia, none of this stuff is happening; however, the govt of Putin finds some sort of purpose/value (personally I think it is just Russian humor) in countering the Ukraine nonsense by accepting the claim and then reiterating it in their claims of interception.”
Do you really think thats all there is to it?
“It’s all an illusion. First, the illusion makes it look like Russia is under bombardment (western happy), and then the Federation flips the script (it is indeed a script) and uses the claim as evidence of their exceptional capabilities at interception of the non-existent. “
Exceptional capabilities? Really? On the contrary, if this was real Putin would be humiliating himself after 5 years of invading a weak country has gone nowhere.
Putin (Russia) did not really invade Ukraine. You got close when you realized everything the fake news media is showing you in Russia is all an illusion. a.k.a. fake. The part that confuses most is when the pretending stops you have to take a hard look at Putin himself as one of the actors involved in this manufactured crisis. Instead he is made out to be a friend of MAGA. Hes not. Apparently most are not willing to go that deep.
Putins EXCLUSIVE interview with Tucker Carlson was part of the show. hook, line and sinker.
This is “The New Normal” you kept hearing the fake media say over again during the Fake Pandemic which Putin also participated in.
LOL!
Touch some grass, Comrade. Really…you should.
What an absolutely disgusting situation.
The Ukraine message is a “make-believe” storytale for us to consume.
Am I understanding this correctly? So, basically this is a money issue and they need to use US tax dollars and steal Russia’s money to create a “play” battle ground for all their techy weapons/biolabs to create a “war” to test their new weapons, waste people’s lives, and disguise the fact they have mis-managed the world’s money supply and need everthing to reset to keep their power.
Tell me what I missed…
Does King 👑 Chuck have any decision making authority about direction of UK foreign policy? Who’s pulling his strings?
City of London and other banksters…?????
The photo looks to be King Charles playing the part of the doddering effeminate granddad to indulge Zelenskyy the smirking whining toddler to avoid a full blown tantrum.
The 100% corrupt country of Ukraine will not survive long enough to see a robotic war. US and European polticians will geatly miss the huge kickbacks they receive from sending them billions of tax payer dollars.
Is Ukraine weapons technology 100% homegrown?
So to frame the realities: countries with zero industrial bases, on the verge of national bankruptcies, populated by unwilling citizens mixed with extremely unwilling illegals desire a war predicated on bullshit grievances desire a full scale shooting war with a seasoned, nuclear capable, battle hardened Russia. Mind boggling how stupid these dumbbells are.
Th8s Fedorov guy smells like a Nazi
Time for him to become President of Ukraine
I wonder if Z Cocaine Boy and Starmer will still be pen pals
This is depressing on so many levels. Is anyone planning trips to Europe in the next year? I was seriously about to book a Med cruise but am not sure now.
Couple of days ago Sundance mentioned the war being over in a few months because it seemed like Z was getting desperate with the propaganda..what changed?
..he failed in 40 days of “offensive “……
a trip to the dark continent? woah
Did George Lucas sell R2 D2 to Ukraine?
If today you asked a British schoolboy to explain what “the Blitz” was – would they know?
Their late Queen sure the hell did! And, so does every Russian. The “ghost regiment” marches again, every “Victory Day,” so that they – who paid by far the most awful price in blood – will never forget.
What War actually is. What War actually costs. 💀
Europe simply doesn’t remember a thing. War is just a financial transaction. And of course, it will all come out just swimmingly … They’ll be done in time for tea.
“They’re rolling out the guns again. Haroo, haroo. BUT THEY’LL NEVER TAKE OUR SONS AGAIN! Johnny, I’m swearin’ to ya.”
yeah. The ones who start the wars are not the ones who die in it. And the ones who profit from it finance BOTH sides.
A fairly famous European once said, “They have learned nothing and have forgotten nothing.”
They’re ALL insane, every last damned one of them.
The Brits are willing to go full WW3 over … Ukraine? Really? Just like they went full WW2 over … Poland? Really?
And Russia? They’re no better. It wasn’t a “special military operation.” It was an invasion. Russia invaded Ukraine. And it could all end this week. All Russia has to do is go home.
But ohhhhhh no. They all think they can fumble their way into another intra-European war and the United States will ride to ALL their rescue and save them ALL … again. NO! Not THIS time. You’re all on your own. Looking at ALL of you. Sick of ALL of them.
It’s unfortunately not as simple as invasion. Russia was staring at an invading army and decided to seize the advantage by striking first.
But, they don’t want territory. They don’t need territory!
Europe never forgot “Operation Unthinkable.” They recently published a map showing Russia split into forty-odd helpless little countries along natural resource boundaries. Why, they gave each one a name and a FLAG.
It IS as simple as Russia invaded. All the rest is rationalizing to avoid having to acknowledge Russia’s imperialist ambitions, and Putin under the spell of Dugin wanting to revive The Great Russian Civilization that never existed except in Dugin’s fevered head..
Oh, and speaking of never forgetting, I expect Ukrainians never forgot Holodomor and the Ukrainian territories ethnically cleansed of Ukrainians and repopulated with Russians. Europe’s old. Scores to settle going back milennia. None of our business.
If Russia wanted to invade Ukraine, flattening it into a pancake, they would have.
Imperialist ambitions? Why not be the ultimate “Russian bugaboo,” and simply declare WW3 and have a go?
Russians don’t fight wars like Europeans do. And, they don’t lose.
Oh my. Bless your heart….
So Victoria Nuland had nothing to do with this and her spook friends, huh?
And, the NATO/EU clowns breaking the Minsk agreements gave no good reason to invade? After they were warned over, and over again, not to build bases or station missiles on Russia’s borders? Do you even know what the Minsk Accords are?
I guess shelling innocent Russian speaking Ukrainians, in the Donbas, certainly didnt have any connection?
Touch some grass bud.
You always have some pretending not to know things in ALL of your posts. Carry on. Trap…..lol.
The end of civilization will come from AI (Man Programmed) intelligence and uncontrolled escaped AI like Open AI
Russia could destroy the EU, without troops, using asymmetric warfare. Communications and power are particularly susceptible. A modern AI attack would be devastating.
Russia is not really flexing her muscles. She is grinding Ukraine’s military capabilities into a powder. Patiently. While conserving her strength.
They don’t know when to quit do they. What’s worse is we will get dragged into this. I don’t want us involved in these idiotic wars.
The spanish civil war was a proving ground for germany weaponry just prior to the onset of wwii. Humans tend to do the very same handful of things over and over no matter what year it is. Food for thought.
“, a western conflict with the Russian Federation to avoid the issue seems to be the overwhelming likelihood”
And what would Pres Trump do? The europeans desperately want the US in the war
There will be a large human cost to an automated “robotic” form of warfare, if in fact Major Conflicts evolve into such a thing.
Just because there are no large units of “Human”; Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, in direct contact does not mean there will not be a very high price in “human” blood paid on both sides.
There will be “robotic” tactical combat to gain as well as hold ground in theaters of operation (with low human casualty rates) but there will also be a higher targeting emphasis (out of necessity) to eliminate the large “human” populated strategic centers of gravity where the robots are made. Plus, strategic strikes to terrorize population centers to bring war to the citizens of the combatants in order to destabilize governments and the social structure of ones enemies.
This will actually bring to life the concepts of Giulio Douhet, who advocated for Strategic Air Power as war winning assets. War will become up close and personal on the Home Front.
In the 1990’s there were simulations of robotic warfare in Urban areas which introduced the operational and moral dilemma of killing machines being turned loose in population centers. The moral part seems to no longer be worry to the elites running the show … it will come down to how much suffering will be tolerated by the citizens they CONTROL (not govern) before they are hung to the nearest lamp post.
Further, think of the terrorist operations that include “robotic soldiers” vs 1 and done explosive drones, only.
The US, Germany, UK and Japan resorted to striking population centers under the guise of hitting strategic industrial targets in WWII.
The US and UK actually perfecting the use of incendiaries mixed with high explosives.
Terrorizing civilian populations that ARE NOT prone to feeling very nationalistic will have an impact during these modern times. There are governments in power today that will have no moral constraints as well.
Par for the course since Ukraine declared independence from Russia, at least. The grift in Russia is a little easier to see (oligarchs and their stooges) but in Ukraine it’s been across the board on steroids who-knows-when.
Years ago I met a 61-yo man whose accent made me ask “where from”, and when he said “Ukraine” he practically spat it out, like an epithet. The look on his face said the rest.
And then there’s all the rest of this situation (-normal-AFU).
Looking back at the history of Europe and Asia specifically. There has always been conflicts and wars. It seems to be the natural state of things over there. In fact, it seems pretty much that is part of the human existence around the world. I don’t think we will ever change that. Troubling. Trust in the Lord.
