149.200 Volga
Since the beginning of the Spring/Summer offensive, many Ukrainian soldiers have died, by some estimates about 90,000 (June 4th – October 4th). There are many indicators that the current crisis is at the end, as recent efforts in Ukraine to mobilize troops have come up empty. Approximately half a million Ukrainian soldiers have left this earth since the beginning of the Special Military Operation of February 2022. Super neo-con, but couldn’t get the votes to replace Stoltenburg, Ben Wallace, even suggested, as the Zelensky government has requested, that 16 and 17 year old children and the elderly be mobilized. They have asked all EU countries to send back any male refugees between the age of 17-65 years of age so they can be conscripted to fight for their country.
Russian missile strikes on targets deep in Ukraine proper and accurate dismantling of command posts, communications and supply depots have not only crippled the UAF, but demoralized much of their current armed force. The “cut off the head of snake” strategy has been very effective for Russian forces. A newly recruited soldier brought to the front near Bakhmut has a life expectancy marked in hours, not days. Mutiny is already a part of the debacle as troops reject command structures (AFU 93rd Tactical). Many troops, nearly 40,000 are in NATO bases in Europe, training, and I suspect, that many of them are younger cadets in military schools that are just getting of age to fight.
Many Ukrainians are requesting an end to this battle as well, but their opinions have been silenced through government censorship, the outlawing of political opponents and parties and the cancelling of elections. For those of means, life outside Ukraine will be infinitely better, so why come back? For those who cannot leave, maybe because they believe in their cause, their land or their ancestors, there is little hope on the horizon as a call to mobilize is more like a death sentence. They are digging graves everywhere in Ukraine and funerals are a normal part of life now. What is a young patriot to do in the face of evil?
149.200 Volga
Brought out at the beginning of the Spring/Summer offensive, Ukrainians were informed over mutual communication lines that they could surrender with the call: 149.200 Volga. Since June, more than 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered in this way. They know that they will be treated better by Russians in POW camps than what lies ahead should they stay with the AFU. Azov forces already patrol the rear and shoot those who retreat or disobey. In many cases, AFU forces will not try to rescue downed soldiers, who in turn, call Russian forces for rescue.
The rainy month will bring many more who surrender as they will be separated from basic necessities and the ability to move out to friendlier territory. Entire units will be able to surrender as Azov enforcers will not be able to move to their location and prevent such actions. At a time when more soldiers are leaving the AFU than entering, Zelensky should be seeking a way to gracefully end the conflict, yet mad men have forced this madness to no good end. Despite all their technology and mind control, they are not able to magically produce more soldiers who are eager for the fight.
Dirty Tricks
In the death throes of empire, as the world is witnessing today, the dominant power will do many things to try and maintain power. Dirty tricks are par for the course. One must only follow the money, to see that the past three decades have come about as the government of America took tax payer money and gave it to bankers, arms manufacturers, big tech, big oil and big pharma. They manufactured an endless number of wars, problems, diseases and social policies that perpetuated a very small majority of Americans to wealth and power. The political structures have broken down and most Americans now feel that there is no such thing as justice, unity or trust. Communities are having difficulty at the same time the federal government is doing everything they can to control and fleece the average person. Elections are not perceived as fair and most Americans are very well armed and many are beginning to seriously organize. Some analysts predict that the election of 2024 will be the last as neither party will be satisfied with the outcome and begin taking maters into their own, well armed, hands.
America would like to export this hate somehow, and World War III is just the opportunity. Citizens need to pay attention to recent proclamations from the Army War College, who has confessed that the American military approach must be restructured; or the Rand Corporation, a military think tank which has run various war games and found that the USA and allies would lose nearly every scenario and in no way could ever achieve any standard of victory along current vectors. Therefore, American policy is to prolong the war in Ukraine as they have no other option and a conventional war in Europe would displace homegrown angst, feed a war time economy, and shift the blame of all evils upon the Untermensch. The only real question is how will they get NATO in a war with Russia, and therefore China and the rest of the world – yet most importantly, will the world allow this to happen?
Only dirty tricks remain for the west. The west must create some form of provocation whether it be shipping in the Black Sea, Taurus missile deliveries and attacks upon Russia proper, or NATO command and control staff being targeted in the Ukraine, to name a few trip wires. Russia has exercised extreme restraint and one must be aware that they will withhold much of their strike ability for retaliation should the war quickly escalate. Given the current state of affairs, NATO must provoke Russia soon before the Ukraine runs out of soldiers. Already it is known that more “mercenary soldiers” have perished in the past few months than in the whole conflict prior. There are still German and Polish NATO volunteers who have been captured or recovered, whether they are considered mercenaries has been ignored, until recently. Recent reports of Polish divisions and a German Leopard tank crew being destroyed in Ukrainian offensive actions, beg the question: Has World War III already begun?
If so, then Volga 149.200.
After America was lessened by the Korean War and utterly defeated in the Vietnam War, the All-Volunteer Force (AVF) was born. This would professionalize the army and do away with the draft and conscription, which was one of the most abhorrent practices that young people rejected. It was believed that professional soldiers would be better trained and could serve better in foreign countries as security details and liaison with ruling officials of foreign holdings. In this way, the military industrial complex could continue, but in the understanding that they would not draft American sons into conflict. Wars would remain invisible to the common person.
AVF forces were paid, like mercenaries. They received benefits which extended to their spouse and children. This system worked, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union, as there were no peer adversaries to fight. American forces would be used against smaller forces that in most cases could not fight back. Armaments became more sophisticated and expensive as they were tools of foreign policy and mutual security in Europe, parts of Africa, South Korea and Japan, to name a few areas. American security guarantees filled the pockets of the MIC and media shielded Americans from what their military was actually doing. For decades, the world has lived in fear of American intervention while American citizens were told they were spreading the noble intentions of “democracy” and “freedom.” This is why Julian Assange rots in Belmarsh Prison and no one seems capable of ending this injustice.
An AVF mentality meant that any soldier that died in combat had chosen to do so. As it was their free will, then no one need concern themselves with the how or why. Sometimes the what-for would come up, but anyone suggesting that the military’s aims were less than scrupulous was run out of town as a traitor. Elections were swayed by the disinformation campaigns that kept neo-cons in power and thus the public money trough flowing. Moreover, professional sports, news media and Hollywood succumbed to the propaganda machine which shapes an exceptionalist psyche and an inability to empathize. Americans, if forced into a war and conscription, would rather fight themselves than a foreign power, and it’s really starting to look that way in some cities of America now.
European sons and daughters, too, are in no mood to fight a world war. There are some in places like Latvia or Finland, but even the majority in those countries, like the Ukrainians themselves, do not want war. The recent election of Fico in Slovakia is testament to a country that supported Ukraine with all their force a year ago, but have now shifted direction entirely. This year will bring many more elections and changes to the current power structures in Europe who join America and NATO MIC to foment and perpetuate war. Whether in opposition to war profiteering or the general attitude that “my son will not fight a war with them!” -- the people have spoken: Volga 149.200 Volga!
There is no need for large standing armies, military escalation and development, or economic warfare between nations. People in the west have been co-opted by Nazi elements that are supported by modern day fascists. Standing up to these forces, one must be aware and physically able to resist.
They cannot make you believe in war. They cannot make you pull the trigger. And if you find yourself in such a situation, remember to find the right frequency: 149.200 Volga.
