Is the strategic goal of the Ukraine/Russian war, regime change in Moscow? Nicholas says the quiet part out loud
Proper planning means that you have an established end goal in mind.There are 20 to 30 Russian Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) around Kherson, or 15,000-20,000 soldiers in total. If Ukraine forces can destroy them, this will force Putin to escalate or withdraw. Either way, ongoing Ukraine resistance increases the likelihood of a coup in Moscow.

In my opinion that was the major failure of Iraq and Afghanistan. We've made the same error in the fight in Syria.
Regime change with the HOPE of a Jefferson democracy in those countries.
Hearing Nicholas today it appears that we've once again started down the path of regime change being the goal.
Unfortunately I can't see us succeeding.
Even if Putin is toppled I predict we will see a much more hostile, belligerent Russia.
But back on task.
Is it just me or does it seem that we have two default positions when it comes to our foreign policy...
1. Sanctions.
2. Regime change.
We gotta do better.

Is the end state goal for the Ukraine/Russia War regime change in Russia?
I've been asking what is the end state goal for the West/Ukraine with regard to the fighting there.The only course of action for Ukraine is continued resistance to the point where Russia’s elite decide that the damage to Russia’s economy, its reputation, and loss of irreplaceable men / materiel mean they would be better off being governed by someone other than Vladimir Putin.
— Nicholas Drummond (@nicholadrummond) August 29, 2022
To say that the answer has been a moving goal post of answers is an understatement.
I've watched sanctions that appear to punish the West and 3rd world to such a degree that they're stupid and have wondered why.
We're all seeing our wartime reserves being depleted to support this war and leadership is all about it. No worries. It's a risk that MUST be dealt with in order to meet the bigger goal.
But what is the goal? No one has been able to answer that simple question.
Then Nicholas posted the above. Nothing unusual in his post and I've read similar a million times.
But it clicked.
It's not about geography. Democracy. Freedom.
The desired end state in Ukraine/Russia War is regime change in Russia.
We're back to that bullshit. AMAZING!

We have given Ukraine almost a MILLION pounds of 155mm Cannon Ammo...
I guess our guys will be yelling bang bang when they're running ranges. Perhaps the old style cartoon flags will pop out the cannons of tanks and arty when they fire? We screwed ourselves. This much gear? The Ukrainians should be knocking on the door of Moscow!"As of Aug. 24, the U.S. military said it had provided Ukraine with up to 806,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition."https://t.co/NfclJyjXR4 pic.twitter.com/EQe4lCNIXe

Germans will be paying 1K Euros per MWH...they're gonna be cold and broke!
Its weird. The elites told us this would happen. Biden not only said this would happen but he also said that there would be food shortages. Phase 1 is almost complete. I guess food shortages will hit late winter. I wonder if we will even recognize our societies by this time next year. Was Ukraine really worth all this? Isn't it time someone on this blog admit that I was right in calling the sanctions idiotic? Not every problem requires a hammer. Not every international issue requires sanctions. No international issue requires the stupid sanctions that the elite applied in this case.JUST IN - German benchmark year-ahead power price hits €1,000 per MWh. pic.twitter.com/TqX5EYTGiR

Doesn't matter.
For those that cheer for the madness, keep that same energy when you watch your world go sideways.
Me?
I'm good. Just pass the popcorn. Your pain will be my elixir of joy.
I told you people that we were dipping past our war reserves and into our active forces with regard to giving gear to the Ukrainians...
It was bound to happen.The war in Ukraine has depleted American stocks of ammunition and the Pentagon has been slow to replenish its arsenal, sparking concerns among U.S. officials that American military readiness could be jeopardized by the shortage. (WSJ)

You take a country at war that is gripped by corruption yet has a shopping list for American weapons...A false belief by foreign allies and even some Americans that we have endless stockpiles of weapons...add in the idea that for some the defense of Ukraine TRUMPS the defense of our OWN NATION...
And you end up with this madness.
I warned more than one clown about this issue and got shouted down. Unfortunately we have military leadership that lacks the balls and/or ovaries to tell a civilian leadership that this is becoming dangerous to national security...and we are where we are.
Fuck you/them all for being so stupid.
What idiot would think that we have endless supplies of anything except bullshit?
We're evacuating personnel from the US embassy in Iraq by rooftop and the Presidential palace is being overrun...Our failure in Iraq is almost complete...

Energy will be the central issue in the EU this fall. Poles line up for miles to stock up on coal!
You would have to be brain dead to not notice this! Europeans are bracing for a rough winter. I don't know how many govts are making real efforts to blunt the effects of the sanctions but if its normal things will be rough. If its colder than normal we could see bad things happen. Didn't France's president talk about the days of abundance being over? I don't think many were paying attention and even fewer are ready. Buckle up buttercup. Things are about to get sporting in Europe!In Poland, where coal is king, dozens are lining up at the Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka coal mine, waiting for days and nights to stock up on heating fuel.

HMS Prince Of Wales has broken down with "emergency mechanical issues" on its way to the US...
Curious. This is one of their flagships isn't it?NEW: The UK’s biggest warship has broken down off the south coast shortly after setting sail on a “landmark mission” to the US. @HMSPWLS has an “emerging mechanical issue” the @RoyalNavy said. The issue is being investigated.

Ukrainians call Russians ORCS, now Russia is playing that game....
All I've read on my blog is people, not just Ukrainians but many Westerners refer to Russians as ORCS. Now Russians are playing that game. Trust and believe something. I've seen this before. When your enemy is no longer human in your eyes then the savagery ramps up 10 fold. Things were bad before. Now? Now its about to get truly scary. I feel for the civilians. They're about to get throat fucked in the most inhumane way possible and most won't even see it coming.Russian mercenary Igor Mangushev (Bereg) made a performance with the skull of a Ukrainian soldier killed near Azovstal.
— Денис Казанський (@den_kazansky) August 28, 2022
In his speech, Mangushev said that Russia is at war with the Ukrainian idea, so all Ukrainians must be killed.
Still think trading with Russia is a good idea? pic.twitter.com/qpnWS5JCeV
"Something is going on with these dudes". TO FREAKING PUT IT MILDLY!!!!

The UK is about to be raped.
I have a theory...at least it applies to the geriatrics that currently hold power in the US. Most of the leadership here is from the 60s and 70s. They came of age during high inflation, high gas prices and social unrest. It is their desire, rather intentional or unintentional, to relive their glory days. Unfortunately they fail to realize that while they were having fun in the various universities the rest of the country was "unsettled". Consider it their parting gift to the rest of us.Insanity. Pure insanity. pic.twitter.com/rQvh2kwbVc

Back to the UK.
If Citi is right then that will be a kick in the guts to the British people.
I hope they don't see that. If they do then we'll see that govt topple.
The “Man-Eater of Lucknow”
via HorseTalk.co.nz
Journalist William Knighton had been travelling by horse and buggy through the streets of Lucknow, India, wondering why they had been deserted by locals.
The stallion spied Knighton and his companion in the buggy. The horse immediately threw the toddler on the road and set off after his new prey.
Knighton knew what fate had in store, he recounted in his book, The Private Life of an Eastern King, about his time in the service of Nasir al-Din Haidar, the maharaja who ruled Oudh from 1827 to 1837.
The Englishman described how they had earlier come across the horribly disfigured corpse of a native woman on the road.
“The body was bruised and lacerated in all directions, the scanty drapery torn from the form; the face had been crushed as if by teeth into a shapeless mass,” Knighton reported.
The victim’s long matted hair, which fell in bundles over the road, was clotted with blood.
They proceeded, finding houses closed. A palpable sense of terror hung over the silenced city.
Further down the road they found a second victim — a youth similarly mangled and destroyed.
The pair then noticed one of the king’s troopers atop a nearby house, who warned of the stallion that would become known as the Man-Eater of Lucknow.
Suddenly, the soldier shouted, “Look out! He has turned in our direction. Flee for your lives.”
Don't sleep on Syria. That fight is raging and the US is once again hip deep in it!
Attack helicopters, Aerial Gunships and Artillery? That means that Syria is continuing to be a Special Ops play ground. I can guarantee that they're calling for fire and stacking bodies. All eyes are on Syria but you can bet the US is hip deep (well SOCOM and selected Conventional Units as backup) in the Middle East and Africa. The fight is eternal...or we don't want an off ramp. Either way the battle goes on.U.S. military now says it has used Apache attack helicopters, AC-130 gunships and M777 artillery in the last 24 hours in its continuing battle against Iranian-linked fighters in Syria. Size and scope of the operation appears to expanding.
