Great article. The dichotomy between this and the mainstream news is so large it hurts my brain sometimes. I don’t think I’ve even seen anything like it, it is hitting me really hard how much the msm lies.

I can't even watch the television, it's just clown world. They had a hook into my brain (all of ours) for far too long already, no need to give them any more!

That's their whole purpose, unfortunately.

Wow! I believe that I first truly questioned Putin’s actual intentions after reading the series on the Prussian history and realized Ukraine was right in the center. This was solidified with the immediate and intense attacks on Putin mirroring Trump by the globalists’ media. My military experience with contingency plans made devolution credible. Then I came across Clandestine and then here and your articles truly put Putin’s moves in perspective. I read about Soros years ago and quickly saw his US hand, especially on funding DAs and the Secretaries of State, culminating in election fraud (by illegal policy/cover-up)…. Believed the 4th reich was planned for execution here in the shadows, but until you (brilliantly again) just laid out the path to defeat evil, was concerned how we could awaken enough to unite against the cabal. Thank you for giving us clear optimism for the future. Daily I thank God for equipping you and so many others in this battle! God bless you - thank you for your service to our Republic!

Great post. I agree with basically everything you said. I often refer to Ukraine as "New Prussia," since I believe Prussia was dissolved into a series of Proxy states and decentralized Shadow governments. Will Zoll's series is a must read on the subject, as well.

Thank you! I will read his series to gain more clarity on this. God bless!

Very interesting theory that the Biden Administration is akin to a maneuver defense. I had not thought of it from that perspective.

Looks like it fits.

Agreed, I hadn't either. It seems obvious now.

Just a theory. Thought it fit.

'While I personally reject the prospect that Russia lacks the “forces and means available to conduct a positional defense”' --

This may refer in this case only to the forces and means available in-theater as opposed to all forces available to Putin. He has chosen to make this a limited operation, as you note; and has therefore made only limited deployments to the conflict so far. That could change; but for now he seems content to use the Maneuver Defense to work over and weaken Ukrainian forces and resolve.

After all, there is a Narrative conflict going on in Ukraine too, and they probably aren't paying much attention to the horse manure being shoveled by the truckload by the MSM over here. We can't know what the average Ukrainian thinks, but this ongoing grind cannot improve morale. Putin holds all the cards.

Agreed.

Just found another substack (linked from Gateway Pundit) that pretty much agrees with Burning Bright on this (published the same day as BB's post, Oct 5):

edit: ps, maybe also the reason Ukraine attacked the Kerch bridge...

The number of Military "experts" who get on TV and say Russia is losing is mind-numbing.

Sorry but did you mean...contrast to Russia's steady, consistent stance...

Wow, what a great analogy!!!

Getting brighter and brighter.

I thank God for all the brilliant young men and women who just so happened to have brilliant Mom's that chose birth over abortion, Amen 🙏

I just hope your'e right. It's pretty tough to sit here and watch, and I don't wish to engage in wishful thinking. Having said that, here is a mainstream analysis stating that Putin is losing and, incredibly, he could actually "win by losing". https://nationalinterest.org/feature/if-putin-nukes-ukraine-russia-could-win-war-205089

MSM will soon be twisting themselves into knots explaining how they always knew Russia was going to win.

They'll say that although he actually lost, he won by cheating.

Excellent. Washington DC truly is the Potemkin village of the enemy, where the saber-rattling tinpot swamp politicians and their toy generals strut and huff and puff, impressing nobody but their own sycophants. Everything about the enemy seems to be smoke and mirrors, with Klaus "you vill hev nussink" Klink as the head fluffer (pardon my allusion to celluloid smut but it seems apt).

Expand full comment

Yup. And in Russia, they've met an opponent that isn't cowed by smoke and mirrors. And in Trump, they've met one who's better at it than they are.

Interesting thoughts. If the ru-ski’s are repositioning it would be a nazi thoughtout opportunity to destroy and pillage everything in site as they advance. When the ru-skis return get the world msm to let folks know the Russians are responsible for the slaughter. The nazis know the Russians will return, make them look as bad as you can.

Many possibilities. But I don't think the enemy has as much control as they project.
