@rastinza I also saw reports China is pushing for negotiations to he opened and threats of Chechen death squads being sent to Kiev to take out Ukrainian officials - both seem to point to pressure on officials to make terms while there's still time

as noteworthy as the political implications of all this are, I'm also fascinated by the emergence of new military doctrine; Blitzkrieg + electronic warfare

some reasonably well informed shitlib type observer was noting on twitter before the invasion that he doubted Russia could sustain modern combined arms logistics for more than a few weeks

it's entirely possible this analysis is correct

thing is, when you can jam all frequencies, take down internet connectivity, and achieve air supremacy, you don't necessarily need weeks, even against a near-peer rival

@NBS BTC dips on geopolitical stuff always send the phrase "risk-off" through my head

Western propaganda wishes to cope and explain that Putin is breaking down the cherished westphalian order. The incoherency of this position beggars belief. The system that unilaterally cracked westphalian norms in half in the world wars and used the cold war to beat the corpse of international norms to death and then the war on terror to commit necrophilia with it accuses a state which is attempting to assert sovereignty on behalf of semi-autonomous regions which share its political interests of violating the inviolable and cherished international norms they raped to death.

This utter nonsense ought to be reject, Russia is exercising its political sovereignty as a regional power and takes actions that in the long run will rebuild autonomy within the region in respect to geography. Russia is rebuilding rational international norms and those who bear the legacy of the death of the previous one cannot help but schvitz themselves to death.

ZOG cannot allow proclamations of political sovereignty and autonomy be allowed to stand on the basis of ethnic and cultural solidarity/history. To allow the de facto breakaway of regions of Ukraine on this basis fundamentally destroys the system of statecraft ZOG has built over the past ~90 years. The system of pseudo-westphalian norms between zogbots and illegitimacy for everyone else is non-tenable in a world where states can still be practically formed on ethnic lines. In fact the formation of states on ethnic lines in a relevant area on the world stage signals the loosing of the sword of damocles over ZOG. A world with Novorussia is a world where Cascadia a white diaspora could form a sovereign enclave.

ZOG is shitting itself, and it can't practically intervene.
